Cannot 64 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: recommend them enough. For me personally, this final four is 65 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: really cool because when I think about like my squads, 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: I say this all the time, people don't believe me. 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: Like I grew up a diehard forty nine Er fan. 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: I love the forty nine Ers as a kid as 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: much as I liked the Bulls because I love Michael 70 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: Jordan and the Sacramento Kinks, even though they were pretty 71 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: crappy at the time. Though they got good when I 72 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: was like junior high in high school, but I loved 73 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: him a lot. My fandom is not the same as 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: it used to be now. I still root for the 75 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: forty nine ers to be good, but it's because I 76 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: have a business and I'm partnered in something that revolves 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: around them, and the better they do, the more money 78 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: I make. I look at them a lot different now. 79 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: The majority of people in my life, from my family, 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: to my girlfriend, to most of my friends to just 81 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people i'm have casual relationships with, love 82 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers. I know a ton of season 83 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: ticket holders, the forty nine Ers are one of the 84 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: biggest brands where I grew up in California. I mean, 85 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: they are a powerhouse because when I grew up, Steve Young, 86 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice were guys like mine, idols. I actually last 87 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: year tried to get Steve Young and come on my 88 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: other podcasts. He denied me, but we were texting back 89 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: and forth, and I thought about the other day, like, 90 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, I got Steve Young's number in my phone. 91 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: Pretty cool, but it was a business transaction that didn't 92 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: go out for me. He said no, but he was 93 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: cool about it, and I told him I read his 94 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: book and I really enjoyed it. But the Eagles, you know, obviously, 95 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: that's the one end of team I work for. I 96 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: worked for Howie Roseman. I still have the guy that 97 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: hired me, it still works for the organization. I know 98 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: several other ones of their scouts that I'm still very 99 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: close with in the in the Chiefs, you know have 100 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: Brett Beach and Andy Reid, you know. So it's I 101 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: follow these teams extremely closely. And there are other people 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: on the chief staff that I also worked with in 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: Philly that I still consider friends. So I'm very excited 104 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: because I watched a ton of football. I have a 105 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: very you know, obviously I do this for a living, 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: but have an unhealthy life. You know, It'd be very 107 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: difficult to pull off what I pull off, and I 108 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: couldn't justify it like this is how we pay the bills, honey. 109 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: I need to watch more football. But these are the 110 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: three teams that I follow, definitely the closest just by proximity. 111 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: As I've talked to people in the organizations, you know, weekly, 112 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: I mean some like every other day. So it's very 113 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: I'm excited now and it's not just random, like these 114 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: are three of the four best teams, including the Bengals. 115 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't don't know anyone with the Bengals, though I 116 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: really like Joe Burrow, like to know Joe Burrow seems 117 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: like a sweet dude, obviously as Blair. I have been 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: to a Bengal game. When I worked for the Eagles, 119 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: I was advanced scouting my second year, and I remember 120 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: thinking the stadium was kind of old, but cool. Play 121 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: stayed across the river, not Lexington, Kentucky, but I think 122 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: I stayed in Kentucky. Maybe I'm getting my geography wrong. 123 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: This was a long time ago. But I enjoyed it. 124 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: I enjoyed when I was at Fresle State, we also 125 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: played the Universe Sincecinnati, so I drove by the stadiums. 126 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: I just kind of like that area right by the water. 127 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: Very cool. We have a great final four, four of 128 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: the best teams and three teams that I feel I 129 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: know really really well. And I consider myself more of 130 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: an NFC guy than an AFC guy, So I wanted 131 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: to start with the Eagles and the Niners. And listen, 132 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: I've been around the Niners now for about a decade, 133 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: very very closely. I know a lot of people there. 134 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: I go to their practices. I spent a lot of 135 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: time in training camp. I just I feel have a 136 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: very good, you know, understanding of this administration, Kyle John, 137 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: Adam Peters, the way they viewed football, what they like 138 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: in a team, And same with the Eagles. And I 139 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: actually think there are a lot of parallels with these 140 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: two organizations because when you think of the Eagles and 141 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: you think of the forty nine ers, like they're successful teams. 142 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: The Eagles basically, once Lurry bought the team got Andy 143 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: Reid like and he's an offensive guy, but their defense 144 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: was really really good on those Andy teams because they 145 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: had Jim Johnson who was an elite defensive coordinator, Doug Peterson, 146 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: right offensive guy Nick Foles. But those defenses on that 147 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: team were pretty good, especially the pass for us. And 148 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: obviously this team, their pass rush is fantastic. The forty 149 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 1: nine Ers, who historically reviewed as Joe Montana, Steve Young, 150 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, Kyle Shanahan, offense offense offense, Bill Walsh, their 151 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: defenses have been awesome. When I was very little, It's 152 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: not like I was watching him in the eighties. The 153 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: Niners defenses were elite. The first team that I really 154 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: remember watching the ninety four forty nine Ers that won 155 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They beat the Chargers and they finally 156 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys in the AFC Champion. Their defense was 157 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: fucking loaded. Bryant Young was a rookie. He just went 158 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. They sank Dion Sanders. They 159 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: had Tim McDonald, Merton Hanks, Eric Davis, Ken Norton, Junior, 160 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: Gary Plumber, Dannis Stubblefield not a good guy, but was 161 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: a fantastic player. They were stacked on d so part 162 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: of being an offensive philosophical belief as an organization, like 163 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: they really value defense, they really value physical defense. It's 164 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: why the success of these two organizations, Like they've been 165 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: to the playoffs a lot in my lifetime, and knowing 166 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the Eagles like currently what they value and what they 167 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: valued under Randy and continued with how the lines because 168 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: you win in the line of scrimmage, Like why are 169 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: the Bills having some issue they're not great on the 170 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage that they expect Josh Allen to do 171 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: everything for him. And when I was with the Eagles, 172 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: we had Jason Peters. We drafted Danny Watkins while it 173 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: was a bust, Like we value drafting interior offensive lineman 174 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: when I was there early, Jason Kelsey who became a 175 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: star right tackle. My last year, They're drafted Lane Johnson. 176 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: Over the years, they've invested in guards and tackles. And 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: Andre Dillard doesn't work out, they take another guy Mulatta 178 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: for the rugby player. Same with the forty nine ers, 179 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan offensive guy, offensive guy, Well, what does he 180 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: draft defensive lineman, offensive lineman. You have to value the 181 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: trenches because that is where you separate yourself. I don't 182 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: care how much they try to regulate the violence out 183 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: of this game. The one area where violence is allowed, 184 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: just like it was thirty forty years ago. Is it 185 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You can be violent as a 186 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: defensive an offensive lineman. You know they call occasionally, I 187 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: guess obviously the roughing the passer penalties are a little 188 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: week but you know what I mean, like against your 189 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: opponent at the line of scrimmage, it is still allowed. 190 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: Where it is not in the defensive backfield, you know, linebackers. 191 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different now, but at the line 192 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: of scrimmage you can still separate yourself. And these two 193 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: organizations put all their chips in the middle table when 194 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: it comes to those positions because they know if you 195 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: get a good offensive line and a good defensive line, 196 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: you can play with anybody. You don't need to have 197 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Joe Montana. And the other thing with 198 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: the Eagles in the forty nine are specifically this like 199 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: how he now has been in charge since Doug came back, 200 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: and John and Kyle have been running it since twenty seventeen. 201 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: They're very, very aggressive, and I had a front row 202 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: seat when I worked in the office for two years 203 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: and even when I worked on the road for a 204 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: year getting emails from how he is twenty four seven, 205 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: three sixty five Kyle Shanahan is, I mean, one of 206 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: the biggest football all in nerds I've ever seen. John 207 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: Lynch turned down about twenty million dollars a year to 208 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: work on Amazon because he loved being in the fucking 209 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: trenches of the NFL. These guys love of football and 210 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: aggressive nature when it comes to football has helped separate 211 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: their two organizations. You look at the Eagles like one, 212 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: how He's been wheeling and dealing from a trade standpoint 213 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 1: since I've known him. That's just his philosophical belief when 214 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: it comes to operating organization is to always be trying 215 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: to get better. And some weregantions stay very patient and 216 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: are very hesitant to mix things up. He is the opposite. 217 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: And let's face it, whether you're Howie, John Lynch, Bill 218 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: Belichick or whoever, the shittiest organization is you're gonna miss 219 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: on picks. That is going to happen. But are you 220 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: willing to keep doubling down? Are you willing to when 221 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: you make a mistake to pivot? Let's look at the 222 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: Eagles A couple of years ago. They made a bad mistake. 223 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: They drafted Jalen Ragor over Justin Jefferson. Clearly they would 224 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: have liked to redo about two games into Justin Jefferson's career. 225 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: Within about eighteen months, Justin Jefferson had become a superstar, 226 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: Jalen Ragor was a with and they realized they had 227 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: to move. Well, they doubled down the next year and 228 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: they draft DeVante Smith, while the following year they trade 229 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: for a j Brown and get rid of Jalen Ragor. 230 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: They are unafraid to keep making moves once they make 231 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: a mistake. The forty nine ers looked at this year, 232 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was insane. I don't know if they're 233 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: at the spot where they're at without Christian McCaffrey. They 234 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: traded a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth 235 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: round pick for a running back who makes a lot 236 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: of money. Looking back, thank god they did, or they 237 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: might not be sitting here. The other thing the organization 238 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: really really values are investing in the quarterback position. And 239 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: I think, obviously if you have Mahomes, or you have 240 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: a Josh Allen, or you have a Joe Burrow or 241 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: even I think Herbert, you don't really have to worry 242 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: about it, even though I'd say history shows you, and 243 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: you just saw when Patrick Mahomes went down. You always 244 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: have to be prepared. And clearly the Chiefs have a 245 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: high value and belief in Chad Henny despite him being 246 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: old and somehow being in the league for fifteen years, 247 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: they believed they could win a game with Chad Henny 248 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, like, they went all in on 249 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, and then he started getting banged up and 250 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: he started realizing, you know, he's not a franchise guy, 251 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: so they quadrupled down and made an enormous swing for 252 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Now I would say it's only based on 253 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: two years. I think it's fair to assume it's probably 254 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: not going to work out in San Francisco. Well, what 255 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: did they do the following year. They were able to 256 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: keep their relationship with Jimmy, so he didn't want to go, 257 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: and they got lucky that he was banged up they 258 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: were able to keep him. They invested two million dollars 259 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: in the Sudfeld, who the Eagles also valued a lot 260 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: to be basically the backup quarterback or if Jimmy could 261 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: come back, the third string quarterback. But they also had 262 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: used a pick on brock Purty, which I'm not gonna 263 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: say that they knew this was gonna be brock Purty. 264 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: Of course they didn't. But they were willing to use 265 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: a draft pick on a quarterback despite having a guy 266 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: that they traded three first round picks for and another 267 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: guy that they had just invested two million dollars into 268 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: the Eagles same way, they put all their chips in 269 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: the middle of the table on Carson Wentz and it 270 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: starts not going right. Right, they win a Super Bowl 271 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: because they had also invested in Nick Foles, the backup quarterback. 272 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: And then clearly, once Carson Wentz started coming off the rails, 273 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: they made at the time pretty controversial draft pick Jalen Hurts. 274 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: But where the hell would they be right now if 275 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: they had not invested in Jalen Hurts. And you look 276 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: at some of these organizations like they just don't consistently 277 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: draft quarterbacks, and it goes back to Walsh, and then 278 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: it goes back to Homegren, who's a Walsh guy. In 279 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: Ron Wolf. Their belief is go in draft quarterbacks every 280 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: year or every other year, because you just never know 281 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: one guys get hurt and you just sometimes strike oil 282 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: And like the forty nine ers, is brock Purty going 283 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: to be some all time great player? Probably bet against it, 284 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: but relative to be a pick two sixty two and 285 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: making seven and fifty grand, is that an incredible draft pick? Hell? 286 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Jalen Hurts is going to go down 287 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: as one of Howie Roseman's greatest picks. Ever, where would 288 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: they be? Where can you find a quarterback in the 289 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: second round that wins an MVP. Now I know he's 290 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: not gonna win the MVP this year, but he easily 291 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: could have. And next year he is going to be 292 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: near the top of the betting odds to win an MVP. 293 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: So these two organizations they invest in the line of 294 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: scrimmage because despite the rule changes, that is an area 295 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: where you can still throw haymakers. And they consistently invest 296 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: in the quarterback position. And they're never afraid to be aggressive, 297 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: Like they're not going to be the Rams and just 298 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: every single year give ones, give ones, give ones. But 299 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: when they value a pick, or I mean they value 300 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: a player, they are not afraid to go, Yeah, take 301 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: this pick, Darius slay Boom three and five, Trent Williams 302 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a rig deal because he 303 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: said he'd only go to the forty nine ers. But 304 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and look at the forty 305 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: nine ers, Like obviously Trent Williams was every team would 306 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: have taken him. But they're left guard, second round pick, 307 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: their right guard, fourth round pick McGlinchey, not the biggest 308 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: McGlinchey guy, but first round pick the Eagles. I mean, 309 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,479 Speaker 1: their left tackle is a seventh round pick from Australia 310 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: or whatever. But the only reason he's there is because 311 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: he beat out the first round pick Andre Dillard, and 312 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: Kelsey's a Hall of Famer Lane Johnson first round pick Dickerson, 313 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: who's really really good. I mean that that is a 314 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: fantastic He's a first round pick who fell to the 315 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: second because of injuries. And then obviously the defensive line 316 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: for both teams. A lot of money, a lot of 317 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: high draft picks. They don't mess around because you can 318 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: find random, random skill guys in the second, third, fourth 319 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: round to become really good players on offense. Now, debo 320 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: high second round pick A J. Brown. They traded pick 321 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: seventeen four DeVante Smith first round. I'm not saying Christian McCaffrey. 322 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you don't need to invest in the 323 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: skill positions, but it's a tried and true formula. You 324 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: have to invest in the line of scrimmage, and you 325 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: have to invest in the quarterback position or you've got 326 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: no shot. And now I think we see the two 327 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: best rosters in the NFL. Obviously Mahomes healthy and Joe 328 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: Burrow are better than Jalen Hurstson definitely brought purty, But 329 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: in terms of the rosters, I think the Eagles in 330 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have a lot of parallels and 331 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: I think this game, I mean, we'll talk about it 332 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: come Thursday, but the elements of the home environment for 333 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Philly is just gonna be absolutely bananas. Last the forty 334 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: nine Ers went on the road for the AFC Championship 335 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: or the NFC Championship game like it was over fine fans. 336 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: That's not going to be the case, one because it's 337 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: a much harder travel and two you have to be 338 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: kind of crazy to roll into the Link wearing like 339 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: a Debo jersey, you know, like just in your red 340 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa jersey. I wouldn't recommend it, though, I think 341 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: the hype and the violence, like even get into an 342 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: altercation at any NFL stadium, a lot of booze, a 343 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: lot of dudes like it's it's a pretty easy formula 344 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: for fights. But I just I would probably recommend from 345 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: just I don't know if I do that. I just 346 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: stay at home watched on the couch. Now, I think 347 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are equipped to play well on 348 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: the road. They can run the football, and the Eagles 349 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: run defense has it was pretty poor. And then you 350 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: add their first round pick Davis back from Georgia, who's 351 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: a big boy. They signed the Dominican Sue and I 352 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: saw on social media today that their run defense is 353 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: much improved based the last month of the season, so 354 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: it's not as easy to run it as it once was. 355 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: But I think it's just going to be a fantastic 356 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: match of coordinators Kyle versus Jonathan Gannon who's interviewing for 357 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: head coaching jobs, and Tamiko who's also interviewing for head 358 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: coaching jobs against Shane Steichen. This is just this is 359 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: at high level checkers ex's nose.

Mahomes, 403 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: Burrow and then you know, Alan Lamar Herbert, some other 404 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: really good players. But it's pretty clear who the top 405 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: dogs are right now, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. And 406 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: you know I saw Andycan a day that Joe Burrow 407 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: or excuse me, Pat Mahomes is gonna play in this game. Clearly. 408 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: Maybe his ankle. We thought that Tony Pollard had a 409 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: high ankle sprain. It turns out he had a fractured bone. 410 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: So his injury because people were like, well he had 411 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: to get cart off, Mahomes able to play. Their injuries 412 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: were different. Maybe Mahomes his high ankle sprain isn't as bad. 413 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: I've never had one. I've heard people talk about it. 414 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Some can feel worse than a broken bone. Clearly Mahomes 415 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: was manageable. But it's gonna be fascinating the insight the 416 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: stories that come out about his pain tolerance. Is he 417 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: able to practice it all? Does he not practice that 418 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: to me, is the biggest story in the game. But 419 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: I would never bet against Patrick Mahomes, just like I 420 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: would never bet against Joe Burrow. And unlike the Niners 421 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: and the Eagles, these two teams have played each other 422 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: a lot, right, I mean, last year they played each 423 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: other in the AFC Championship Game. They played each other 424 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: this year. So there's not like I wonder what these 425 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: guys bring the table. Like, No, the Chiefs know exactly 426 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: what Jamar Chase, te Higgins, Joe Mixon with those guys 427 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: bring to the table, just like the Bengals know exactly 428 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, I'll promise you this against 429 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: coach Low, as I call him, the Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator, 430 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's not catching fourteen balls. That was looking back 431 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: and when I was with the Eagles, Mike Caldwell was 432 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: on the staff. That's pretty insane that Travis Kelsey on 433 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: countless plays was just uncovered uncovered. It's one thing, and 434 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: I've never quite understood this, and I don't pretend to 435 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: be you know, Bill Parcels here, but when you have 436 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: a great tight end and you just allow him a 437 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: free release on the line of scrimmage, like he's gonna 438 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: get open with ease. He has a massive size advantage 439 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: against whoever's covering him, whether it's a safety or a linebacker. 440 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean, most linebackers are not Brian or Locker, but 441 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 1: a lot of linebackers are five eleven to six foot one. 442 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's a lot bigger than that, and also he 443 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: knows where he's going, so to leave him just a 444 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: free release, you're already at a disadvantage. I would expect 445 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: the Bengals to be much more physical with him, and 446 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: Andy Reid is one of the great offensive schemers in 447 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: the history of the league. So if anyone can overcome 448 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: you know, the best player he's ever coached in Patrick 449 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes being whatever percentage he is, Like, I hope he's 450 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: closer to one hundred for the entertainment factor, but even 451 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: if he's eighty eighty five percent that they'll figure it out. 452 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: And that's where I think Pacheco comes into play. Is 453 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: having a run game and just a guy that you 454 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: can rely on to get tough yards to run between 455 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: the tackles should, in theory, make it a little bit 456 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: easier on Mahomes. But these are just this is fantastic, man, 457 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: it really is. And I was thinking about this, like 458 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: with Burrow and Mahomes, Right, you have these just superstar quarterbacks, 459 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: but the AFC, like Mahomes, his team and his coach, 460 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: it's dominant combination. And then you look at the Bengals. 461 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: Burrow is just an absolute shooting rocket ship fur time. 462 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: Zac Taylor's not bad either, and he hired a really 463 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: good defensive coordinator and they got really talented players. Say 464 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: this about the Bengals even when they had Marvin Lewis 465 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: and they could never like win a playoff game. It 466 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: turns out Andy Dalton was probably part of the problem 467 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: because they had really good rosters, I mean really good rosters. 468 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: They had star skill guys. Their defense was really good, 469 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: Their defensive front was awesome. People forget those. Marvin Lewis's 470 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: teams on paper and in the regular season were a 471 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 1: mother to deal with, but their quarterback was pretty average. Now, 472 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: this team probably topped to bottom, might not be as talented, 473 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: but they're probably slightly better coach than Clearly the quarterbacks 474 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: in a completely different universe. So when you look at 475 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: the AMC, you gotta go through Burrow and Mahomes. But 476 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: then clearly Josh Allen like team's little flowed, they should 477 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: improve a little bit, still a powerhouse. Then you got 478 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. If the coach wasn't just a coming fraud 479 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: and if they ever upgrade, they're they're not going away. 480 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: And the Jacksonville Jags still like they're coming. Their quarterback 481 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: super talented. I'm not even including like if you're a 482 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: even Brown's fan right now, and you got two hundred 483 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars because remember you paid Deshaun Watson 484 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: one million dollars next year, So basically these next three 485 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: or four years, when all the money's coming, you need 486 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: that guy. And I somewhat giving him a football pass 487 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: for last year weird year, throwaway year, but he looked 488 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: pretty bad. So can he come back this season and 489 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: become a really good player. Well, here's my question, is 490 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: your coach any good? I don't know if he is. 491 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: And we saw Deshaun Watson have fantastic season. His best 492 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: season as a pro was I'm pretty sure they went 493 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: four and twelve and that was the year Bill O'Brien 494 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: got fired. But his statistics that year were the best 495 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: of his career. So just because Watson plays great, it's 496 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: proven that it doesn't guarantee to win. And here's the thing. 497 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I know, Bill O'Brien better coach than Kept Stefanski. I 498 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: know everyone thinks Bill O'Brien's village idiot, awful GM, pretty 499 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,239 Speaker 1: good coach, pretty good coach. Chances Stefanski has as much 500 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: success as Bill O'Brien As an NFL at coach, I 501 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: would say it would be pretty slim weak here the 502 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. You're paying Russell Wilson all this money. Now 503 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: we'll see who their coaches, but there's no guarantee like 504 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's gonna be as good as these guys, all 505 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: the guys that I listened at the top, Burrow Mahomes, Alan, 506 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: Herbert Lamar Lawrence. Like, if you're Lebroncos, you're at a 507 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: huge disadvantage. So you better get the coaching situation right 508 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: because you're overpaying this quarterback more than likely is never 509 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: gonna be ninety percent of what he wants was. I 510 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: mean last year he's like fifty percent of what he 511 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: wants was. So you have such an uphill battle. Think 512 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: about like the Jets and the Dolphins, we don't even 513 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: know what their quarterback is do what can't stay on 514 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: the field. The Jets do not have one. The Patriots 515 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: have Mac freaking Jones. The Raiders are sitting there in 516 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: no man's land. So all these teams. The disadvantage you're 517 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: at in the AFC is so much different than the NFC. 518 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: It's why I've spent a lot of the last like 519 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: twenty four hours thinking about Dak Prescott and Kirk Cousins, 520 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: because I do think they make too much money relative 521 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: to winning a Super Bowl. You are not winning a 522 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl. If Kirk Cousins and Dak Prescott are making 523 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: twenty percent of your salary account, it is not happening. 524 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: They are simply not good enough because you can't win 525 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs. You might be able 526 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: to win a playoff game, and they have. Cousins won 527 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: a playoff game, Dak's won a playoff game. But you're 528 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: not beating good teams, and eventually, when you get to 529 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: the divisional round, you're gonna have to play a team 530 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: that is every bit you're equal, if not better, And 531 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: those guys are not good enough to win those games. 532 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they're just not but ultimately, like winning twelve thirteen, 533 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: eleven games every year and being in the playoffs, that's 534 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: worth something. And luckily because you're in the NFC not 535 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: the AFC. If Dak, Prescott and Kirk Cousins were in 536 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: the AFC, they would not be guaranteed to make the playoffs. 537 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: They just wouldn't and they definitely wouldn't be guaranteed to 538 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: win a playoff game. But in the NFC, I mean, 539 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: look who you're dealing with. Eagles, they got a really 540 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: good thing going the forty nine ers. They've established themselves, 541 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: damn good operation cowboys, Like I think they benefit a 542 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: lot from the the NFC. And when you pay a 543 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: guy forty million dollars and you know, more often than 544 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: not he's gonna be average and sometimes below. You're not 545 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: going that far. But throughout the course of a season, 546 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: Dak's gonna be better than a lot of teams you play, 547 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of teams, especially in your conference. So 548 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: like the last two years, you get to eleven, twelve wins, 549 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: thirteen wins, then you're just losing the playoffs. And I 550 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: think from a business standpoint, you might be okay with that. 551 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: Like that, that is successful a lot of teams would 552 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: die for that. You look at the teams that you 553 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: know ultimately are kind of in your level. Right now, 554 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: the Vikings, Dak and him are the same. Right you 555 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: look at the Seattle Seahawks. They've got Gino Smith. I'll 556 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: probably bet against Geno having another year like he did. 557 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, solid little bridge quarterback, had a good season, 558 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: but we gotta know what he is. What are the 559 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: Giants gonna do? Resign Daniel Jones? So that those are 560 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 1: the type quarterbacks we're talking about in the AFC, It's 561 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: a completely different level at the high end. And I 562 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: think you just have to look at it like if 563 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: you're a Vikings fan or you're a Cowboy fan, you're 564 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: gonna just have take pride and we're gonna be a 565 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: really good regular season team. You know, if things go right, 566 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: maybe we host a playoff game. More than likely we'll 567 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: just be a wild card team and we'll be one 568 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: and none. Maybe win a playoff game, but we're never 569 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: going to the conference championship game and we're definitely never 570 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl. And I think if you want 571 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: to take a glass half full, you go at least 572 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: we're a competitive team, and we're not you know, the 573 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: Texans or the Paanthers or some of these you just 574 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: dog trash teams. We are a team that competes year 575 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: and year out. And if you want to take a 576 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: glass half empty kind of look at it, just go 577 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: We're just never competing with the top dogs. We're never 578 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna do that. We might compete with them in the 579 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: individual game, but ninety percent of the time we're gonna 580 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: lose said game and we're gonna go home. Because that's 581 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: what happened to the Cowboys. That's what happened in the 582 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: Vikings and a large reason for that. And you can 583 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: blame the Vikings defense, Okay, But like I'll send the 584 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: limo in a big game to go pick up Kirk 585 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: Cousins because I want to plan and last but not least, 586 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: a lot of this coaching movement is going on right now. 587 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: Who's gonna the head coach here? You know, the Colts. 588 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Jeff Saturday is gonna be the head 589 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: coach of the Colts, the Panthers, the Texans, the Cardinals, 590 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: the Broncos. We don't really feel like we have that 591 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: much clarification anywhere. And the one big name, like, I 592 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: think being patients sometimes in life, in business, in a 593 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: lot of situations is the healthiest thing to do. I 594 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: think it's very very difficult, Like it was. It would 595 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: have been easy last year when all the stocks are 596 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: just plummeting and you check your portfolio every single day 597 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: and it goes down, down, down to sell. Well this year, 598 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: I just checked my portfolio. It's up twenty percent year 599 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: to date, you know, in three weeks. And if I 600 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: would have been twenty eight years old in the situation 601 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, I would have sold everything. But 602 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: I've learned through my mistakes and I realized sometimes you 603 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: just gotta take a deep breath, right patients, in relationships, patients, 604 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: when you're negotiating a contract, like, patience is very healthy. 605 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: And the older you get and listen, I'm a very 606 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: impatient human being. Most I would say most people I 607 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: know are pretty impatient. It's a natural kind of it's 608 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: I think the way the majority of us are wired. 609 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, definitely the majority of people in my life. 610 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: And Sean Payton, I know he's interviewing a lot of people, 611 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: but to me, it makes a lot of sense just 612 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: to be patient what's the rush. Why would you take 613 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: any of these jobs, the Panther job, the Colt's job, 614 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinal job, the Denver job. Wouldn't touch any of them. 615 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: And it's also very easy to be patient when you're 616 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: really rich, right. It's hard to be patient when you 617 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: need the money, when you're negotiating a contract, when you're 618 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: trying to sell a house, whatever, and you need the cash. 619 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: But when you have unlimited amount of money, and that's 620 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: kind of what Sean Payton has, he's very, very wealthy 621 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: because of the amount of money he made. Sean Payton 622 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: was making like fifteen plus million dollars a year coach 623 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: in the Saints. For a long period of time, he 624 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: was one of, if not the highest paid coach, right 625 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: behind Belichick. For I would say a large percentage of 626 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: the two thousand tents. So Sean Payton money is not 627 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: the driving force why he wants to get back in 628 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: the league. He wants to get back in the league 629 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: because he's a crazy football coach and he loves coach 630 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: of football. He loves being around the guys, he likes scheming, 631 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: he likes calling plays like that's what he does. But 632 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: as you see the landscape for the potential jobs, they 633 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: all kind of suck, and even if they don't quote 634 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: unquote suck, they're kind of long term projects. So to me, 635 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, when you look at the landscape of the 636 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: following year twenty three and twenty four, think of some 637 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: guys that are on the hot seat. Brandon Staley complete 638 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: hot seat. He gets bounced in the first round again, audios. 639 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermott after yesterday is like, I would say, 640 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: the Bill's minimum have to make the AFC Championship game 641 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: and probably have to win, you know, the AFC next 642 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: year for his job to be safe. I kind of 643 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: feel he's in that Tony Dungee kind of spot right 644 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: now where there is pressure on him to get this 645 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: team over the top. And they regressed a little bit, 646 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: and part of the regression was like, well, their offense 647 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: didn't quite look the same in their Stark quarterback, it 648 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: felt like, now he might have been banged up, and 649 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: he said he you know, definitely was, but just didn't 650 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: look like the same human. So I think when you 651 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: look at the Chargers and the Bills, like, would you 652 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: want to coach Herbert or Josh Allen or would you 653 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: rather take your chance with a negative Nancy down here 654 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: in the desert Kyler Murray who makes an ungodly amount 655 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: of money? Or would you rather go to the Colts 656 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: where their owner is an absolute lunatic? Or would you 657 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: rather go to the Carolina Panthers where their owner has 658 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of money but they have absolutely no 659 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: options at quarterback? I would take a deep breath, I 660 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: would practice patients here. And it really starting to feel 661 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: like Sean Payton, like, probably take this cycle off, keep interviewing, 662 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 1: keep just kind of getting a feel for everyone, keep 663 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: taking your own notes so when you get back in 664 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: the league you know how they're wired. And then come 665 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: back next year. Because here's another team, the Dallas Cowboys. 666 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's not gonna get fired this year, Amy shouldn't, 667 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: but you're gonna get to the point like, well, what's 668 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen next year. Let's say Dan Quinn takes one 669 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: of these jobs where it feels like ultimately he's gonna 670 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,479 Speaker 1: get one of them, the Denver Broncos, And what if 671 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense is not nearly as good next year 672 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: as it was this year, which is extremely possible. Remember 673 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: the first year, Mike Nolan or I mean McCarthy got there. 674 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: He hired Mike Nolan. Dan Quinn somewhat fell in his lap, 675 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: and turns out dan Quinn is a stud I give 676 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: dan Quinn a lot of credit. Most coaches, once they 677 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: get fired and they become really rich, kind of just 678 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: do what they do. Their scheme is their scheme, like 679 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan refused to change. Dan Quinn went in the 680 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: lab and you heard it on the broadcast. Kyle's like, yeah, 681 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: it actually doesn't really matter that I used to work 682 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: for him and saw his defense every day in practice. 683 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: He doesn't run that defense anymore. He completely changed. It'd 684 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: be like a you know, an off speed pitcher adding 685 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: a fastball, like damn, this guy used to just throw 686 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: cutters and curveballs and now he's throwing ninety eight, like 687 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: when you could add pitches to your arsenal. Like dan Quinn, 688 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: to me, is a legitimate candidate in this cycle. I 689 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: would say I would feel more comfortable hiring dan Quinn 690 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: than I would a lot of these coordinators, And some 691 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 1: of these coordinat might turn out to be really good coaches, 692 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: but the majority of young coordinators do not become Sean McVan, 693 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Shan. Most of them fail. So I think Dan 694 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: Quinn's gonna get a job. But I think you're looking 695 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: at Sean Payton rolling it back and the next year, 696 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: the pressure on Sean McDermott, on Brandon Staley, on Mike 697 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: McCarthy to like make noise in the playoffs. And when 698 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: I say noise, like I'm talking the final four and beyond. 699 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: I think some of the jobs there was just some 700 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: really really good quarterbacks. I'm not including Dak in the 701 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: level of Josh Allen and Justin Herbert in terms of 702 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: talents type that John Payton would want to coach. But 703 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: the cowboy job is pretty intriguing just because it's the 704 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. So if if John Payton asked me for 705 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: my advice and what you know about these open jobs, 706 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: I would say, Man, I'd take a deep breath. I'd 707 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: keep enjoying Manhattan Beach, playing some golf in Newport, head 708 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: down to the desert, and just take a deep breath 709 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: and live to see twenty twenty three, because I think 710 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna be some fantastic potential job openings. Okay, middlecoff 711 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: mail back very easy to do, at John Middlecoff is 712 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: the Instagram. Fire in those dms and get your question 713 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: answered here on the show. Start with Michael listening to 714 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: Monday's show. I'm with you the Bill should stick with 715 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: McDermott as the head coach. That being said, I think 716 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: the team should use what natural advantages they have, and 717 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: I would love to see Gary Kubiak's cutback running offense 718 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: also known as the zone running scheme that Kyle runs 719 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: and the Shanahan family runs and a lot of his 720 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: guys were run. I think it would help take advantage 721 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: of their winter weather. I know it's almost impossible to 722 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 1: land him as a no seed, but do you think 723 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: some of his offsprings Pollock, Benton, even Greg Roman back 724 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: to Buffalo? Second, do you think Kareem Hunt to Buffalo 725 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: is a fix in terms of skills? Could be a 726 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: low value by this offseason. Buffalo clearly values character and 727 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: Hunt has some red flags in his past. I would 728 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: be shocked. I would be stunned if Kareem hunts and 729 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo I would be aggressive. You know, Josh Jacobs, I'm 730 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: gonna have to look at the free running backs, but 731 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: every year guys get cut. You can always draft physical 732 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: running backs in the third and fourth round. I don't 733 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: think Ken Dorsey's getting fired after one year could be wrong, 734 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: but I would be a little surprised if Ken Dorsey's 735 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: not back. But there's gonna be a lot of pressure 736 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: on them for sure, to not just add running backs, 737 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: but to be more physical at the point of attack, 738 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: because you can't be that soft in a winter climate. 739 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: When the Bills are gonna host playoff games, like I 740 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: got news for you, The Bills and everyone listening to 741 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: this nose are gonna win the afcast next year. Bills 742 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,959 Speaker 1: are gonna win it. So they're at minimum they're gonna 743 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: host a playoff game and more than likely, like they're good, 744 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna be twelve to fourteen wins a year, like 745 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: they might host multiple playoff games. You gotta be able 746 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: to run it because it's gonna be freezing cold there. 747 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: You can't just throw bombs in the dig situation like 748 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: it got a little weird. And I like Stefan Dicks 749 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: because I like guys to produce, you know, character stuff, 750 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: and he's not a bad character guy. But I guess 751 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 1: just sell fish quote unquote or being a diva. If 752 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: you produce in life, like I can deal with some shit. 753 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: That's usually how it works in any walk of life. 754 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: But you know, he got run out of Minnesota because 755 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: he was acting weird with cousins, started getting weird with 756 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: him and Josh, and he stormed out of the locker 757 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: room yesterday. I don't know. I mean, I'm a Dicks 758 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: fan because I like my guys to be dependable when 759 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: it matters, and he's been really good for them in 760 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: big moments, so I wouldn't move on from that. But 761 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: you never know. If he starts getting weird with the quarterback, 762 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: you know they're going to choose a quarterback over Dicks. 763 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: From Max Ben a Hawks fan all my life and 764 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,720 Speaker 1: was always on Pete side these past couple of seasons 765 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: when everyone shouted about Russ and his cooking. Anyways, I 766 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: think Pete and Johnson trade back a tad in the 767 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: draft and just draft all defense. They proved they can 768 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: find starters and Geno proves he's a quarterback. One material 769 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: that being said, I've heard some small rumors about the 770 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: Hawks trading for Lamar. Would never happen, but it's fun 771 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: to dream, right. I think Lamar Jackson has traded this offseason. 772 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: I just I think it's over in Baltimore. I think 773 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: it got weird. And I think anytime a situation in 774 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: pro sports over money gets really really weird and then 775 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: a guy kind of refuses to play, sometimes there's no 776 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: going back to that. And the Ravens are kind of 777 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: an old school organization that way. I don't know. I 778 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: know DaCosta said all the right things, but I envisioned 779 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: him getting traded. It could be wrong. I mean, this 780 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: is just It's not like I have any inside information 781 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: on this. Mike Guts he's traded, and if he is, 782 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: my question is I could see John Schneider like never 783 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: forget John Schneider, like Russell Wilson when not a lot 784 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: of people did. John Schneider tried to get Josh Allen 785 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: when most people thought he sucked. I know of several 786 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: general managers right now who would use a cornerback that 787 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: thought Josh Allen sucked, and in fairness to them, I 788 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: did too, but they were wrong. John Schneider loved him 789 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: and wanted to trade Russell Wilson to the Browns to 790 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: get Josh Allen, but he couldn't. I would say that 791 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 1: he is gonna like Will Levis. I think John Schneider 792 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: will like Will Levis. I know he was at a 793 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: Kentucky game because I talked to a buddy that was 794 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: with him at the game this season. I don't know. 795 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't That buddy didn't tell me if Schneider likes 796 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: will Levis, but I could see him wanting a guy 797 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: like that. If you like Josh Allen, I think there 798 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: are some parallels with Will Levis that I could see 799 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: them going that route. But I hear you, I just 800 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, part of the reason with Russell 801 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: are they gonna want to pay Lamar Jackson one hundred 802 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: and eighty million dollars because part of it would be 803 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: trading a couple picks, right, a couple first rounders, probably 804 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,879 Speaker 1: your first rounder following your first rounder, And given Russell 805 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: Wilson one hundred and sixty million, wouldn't you just be 806 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: better off drafting C. J. Shroud or Will Levis if 807 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,720 Speaker 1: you like those guys. And I do think John Schneider 808 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: is really good at his job, so that's what I 809 00:40:55,040 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: kind of would guess. Okay, next question, Alexander, I've been 810 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: listening to show for a while. I've got one for 811 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: you in the mail bag that I think you could 812 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 1: give some unique insight on from your front office experience. 813 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: As you know, the Titans have fallen on some historically 814 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: bad injury luck the past two seasons. I've heard some 815 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: suggest they changed to a new general manager, Ran Carthon 816 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: from old GM John Robinson, will decrease the rate at 817 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: which players get injured due to potential changes to the 818 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: team's medical staff and training regiment. To me, I'm having 819 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 1: trouble buying that this seems more like a Mike Vrabel 820 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,879 Speaker 1: problem than a general manager problem. How does that work 821 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: in a front office whose job it is to ensure 822 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: a team's health is preserved over the course of the year. 823 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: Thank you. I think this gets over hyped a little bit, 824 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: and I've seen it. You know, the Eagles years ago, 825 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: I had a ton of injuries and they changed everybody. 826 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: And I saw it with the forty nine ers, who 827 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 1: for a couple of years led the league in injuries. 828 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: They changed the training staff, the doctors, the wait staff. 829 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, at is football, you 830 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: can limit or you know, kind of mitigate the potential 831 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: of guys getting injured based on their injury history. But 832 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: a guy still can tear as acl or break his 833 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: leg or get hurt training. There are things like you 834 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: go to an NFL practice, there's a collision, a guy 835 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: might get injured. I think some of it is a 836 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: little random. Now if you have a team full of 837 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: guys who have been injured before in college and those 838 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 1: are the type guys you draft, and then they get 839 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: hurt in the pros, Like, I get it, there's that's 840 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: a little on the GM, but I think a lot 841 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: of it is one the way you practice. But even today, 842 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: like most people don't practice like they did in the 843 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: eighties and nineties. I've also had this thought that the 844 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: way teams don't hit and the sport is not as 845 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: violent in practice leads to a lot more injuries and games. 846 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: That's just, you know, a theory of mine. But I 847 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: don't put that on the gym. I honestly don't put 848 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 1: that as much on the coach. And I think it's 849 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: so easy to blame the training staff and the waite staff. 850 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: I think some of it is, like it's football guys, 851 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: people get hurt. How many top quarterbacks in the NFL 852 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: that bust I e. Sam Darnold would have not busted 853 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: with better coaching or needed more time, like Carson Palmer 854 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: watching Danny Dimes Planner dable, he seemed improved or Geno 855 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 1: Smith he is better, not great, but serviceable. How does 856 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: coaching and time help well? Most guys are not Andrew Luck. 857 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: Most guys are not just ready to hit the ground running. 858 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: Even Patrick Mahomes had a year to hone in his 859 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: skills and learn how to be a pro. Most human 860 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: beings are not wired, whether it's pro sports, whether it's 861 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: any of the industries we live in, to not just 862 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: dominate from day one at twenty two, twenty three years old. 863 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,959 Speaker 1: It's not the way it works. Whether you're an NBA player, 864 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 1: whether you're a baseball player, whether you're a musician, or 865 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: whether you're a podcaster, whether you're a sales guy. You 866 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 1: usually get better with time because with time, what does 867 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: that allow you to do? Make mistakes? And then what 868 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: do you do Once you make mistakes? You learn from them. 869 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: So the more experience you get, the more you know 870 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: a perspective you get on what you're doing, which helps 871 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: you prepare for what you have to do. So I 872 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: think the majority of players just take some time, and 873 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: guys that don't let's just use football as an example. 874 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: You know, Justin Herbert played a lot in college. Help 875 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: brock Purty, who's having success right now. Clearly the team 876 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: has good coaching and good players around them. For your 877 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 1: starter in college, like Trey Lance, it was a really 878 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: big struggle for him. Trey Lance was a one year 879 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: starter at a small school. So I think going through 880 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 1: tough times at quarterback is very, very beneficial. And a 881 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: lot of guys that get drafted high go to really 882 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: good schools. They don't win a lot like c. J. 883 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 1: Stroud has not hit much adversity, lost to Michigan twice 884 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: one basically every other game, right like mac Jones, what 885 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,399 Speaker 1: was his adversity not starting over TUA because when he played, 886 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: all he did was win. He didn't hit adversity till 887 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: the league. You get drafted in the NFL, whether you 888 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: play for the Chiefs or whether you played for the Texans, 889 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,919 Speaker 1: you're gonna go through adversity. So coaching clearly matters. There's 890 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: a small percentage of coaches that know what they're doing 891 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to coaching the quarterback. And two, you 892 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: know the thing with quarterback, there are variables that are 893 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 1: out of your control who you're throwing to, who your 894 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 1: running back is, who your offensive line is, who your 895 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: offensive play caller is. So there are just a ton 896 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: of variables. Danny Dimes is a very good example. He 897 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 1: was with the most dysfunctional or one of them in 898 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: the league for his first four years, Patch rumor Joe Judge. 899 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, then he gets a real coach. 900 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 1: But even this year, like se Kwan Barkley, look who 901 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 1: he's throwing too, I think they should be dramatically better. 902 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: Do the Bills remind you of the Eagles in the 903 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: two thousands. I think the Eagles in the two thousands 904 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: were much better on defense. The Eagles were better than 905 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 1: the Eagles were going to the NFC Championship. I think 906 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,919 Speaker 1: four straight years the Bills have made it. Once Bills 907 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: can't get past the second round. I think that now 908 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 1: I would take Josh Allen over Donovan McNabb. And listen, 909 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: that's not a slide of Donovan McNabb. He was a 910 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: stud too, But I think those Eagles teams were more physical. 911 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: I do now. McDermot was a part of those teams 912 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: as an assistant, But I think those Eagles teams were 913 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: better than those Bills teams they were. They were just 914 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: much more physical. Hey, John, big fan of the show. 915 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Raven fan, and watching Mahomes played through 916 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain, I think it reflects poorly on 917 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. From the outside, it feels as though one 918 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: guy is willing to play through anything to help his 919 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: team and the other guys sitting out for a contract renewal. 920 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: Wanted to hear your thoughts on the situation and what 921 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: you would do if you're the Ravens. GM Well, I 922 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,479 Speaker 1: think it is a lot different. On the most basic level, 923 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: Mahomes has a four hundred and fifty million dollar contract. 924 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes is under contract for the rest of his life, 925 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: being paid an astronomical amount of money. Now, we know 926 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 1: the way NFL contracts work, it'll get reworked or whatever. 927 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: But Mahomes never has to worry about money the rest 928 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: of his life. Now, you could argue Lamar Jackson has 929 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 1: made I think at the end of this contract, I 930 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: think he was making twenty five this year. I think 931 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: his total amount of money he's earned in the NFL's 932 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: thirty two million dollars. But like you do, need to 933 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: worry about yourself sometime. And he does have a contract 934 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: potentially this offseason to pay him one hundred and fifty 935 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty million dollars thinking he'll sign it. Who knows, 936 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, don't totally. Like you gotta 937 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: sometimes in life, you gotta be selfish, and it's easy, 938 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 1: Like it's easy for me to be selfish. My business 939 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: is me, So if I have to argue over something 940 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 1: with an advertiser, with whoever, like, I don't worry about 941 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: it as much when you have to be selfish to 942 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: the business with Lamar does, with the front office and 943 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, but then you have the teammates who 944 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: are depending on it makes it more complicated. I don't 945 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 1: blame Lamar as much unless he's completely faking it. But 946 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: based on the the his what he said is PCL 947 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: or whatever is not stable. I get it, like I don't. 948 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me. It doesn't now would Lamar have 949 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: battled through it could just it's just completely different situation. 950 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: I think. I also think it shows Mahomes is just 951 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: a complete throwback man. He is a he's old school. 952 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: He would have thrived in the seventies or eighties, which 953 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 1: can't be said for anybody. And I think Mahomes would 954 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: have done that contract year. No contract year, right. I 955 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 1: don't think he gives a shit. I think he's just 956 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: on a different level. But I don't blame Lamar for 957 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,720 Speaker 1: I blame Lamar for not signing the contract. They offered 958 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: him an astronomical amount money changed the rest of the 959 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: course of his life, and he turned it down. I'm 960 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 1: just sorry. I just I think that was a bad 961 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: financial decision. Always appreciate your insights. This justin question about 962 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,760 Speaker 1: the narratives around two rising young quarterbacks in the NFL. 963 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 1: I've listened to a variety of sports analysts, and the 964 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: Bulk kept Trevor Lawrence as a bona fide top five 965 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: to seven quarterback in the league. And they're pointing out 966 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: how the Jags made the playoffs in what should have 967 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: been a rebuilding year, except no one talks about the 968 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: Jags invested over one hundred and seventy million dollars in 969 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,399 Speaker 1: free agents to build around him. Fields, on the other hand, 970 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: had and have no legitimate piece, no legitimate pieces around him. 971 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 1: I undoubtedly biased Chicago Homer. I'm not trying to make 972 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: take anything away from t Laws accomplishments this season, but 973 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,720 Speaker 1: isn't the narrative a little flawed? I've heard people mentioned 974 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,439 Speaker 1: Lawrence as the second coming of Peyton Manning and Andrew luck. Well, 975 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: I'm with you. Trevor Lawrence is a long way to go. 976 00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: But like so does Shopify or Zilo. But if you 977 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: just look where society is going, you can invest a 978 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 1: lot in companies like that going. I think the upside 979 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: for you know, Shopify over the next decade is extremely high. 980 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 1: It hasn't peaked right now. You could argue it's never 981 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 1: going to be worse as a company than it is currently. 982 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,800 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has a long way to go. He was 983 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: bad in the Titans game week eighteen. He was borderline 984 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 1: unplayable the first half of the game against the Chargers. 985 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 1: But it's pretty clear if you're watching me, know what 986 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: you're watching like, there is a lot to work with there. 987 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 1: And his pedigree, how big he is, his physical attribute 988 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: you would bet on that. No one around the JAG 989 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 1: says when the season ends, what does Trevor need to 990 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: work on? Passing? That is what the Bears GM said 991 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 1: about fields. What does he need to work on this offseason? Passing. 992 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 1: What you would say about Lawrence like he needs more 993 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 1: experienced reading Ridge is better understanding of when did not 994 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: pull the trigger against zone man, etc. Same thing you'd 995 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: say about any young quarterback. The GM said Fields needs 996 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 1: to improve at passing. So I'm a Fields guy. I 997 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: like the physical attributes. I like you know, I'm paying 998 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: my coaches a premium mold that fucking guy into a 999 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: stud because he has it. He has the physical capabilities. 1000 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 1: Now there's no guarantee you can do it, but I'm 1001 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,359 Speaker 1: with you. Like Christian Kirk, they paid him a lot 1002 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: of money. Clearly pretty good player et n they draft 1003 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: in the first round. I look at the Justin Fields, 1004 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: he's throwing it to Dante Pettis and the Kiel Harry, 1005 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,320 Speaker 1: two guys franchises couldn't get rid of fast enough. But 1006 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: one was drafted high in the second the other one 1007 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 1: was draft at the end of the first. So they're 1008 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: not apples to apples. But Trevor Lawrence a much better 1009 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:56,320 Speaker 1: quarterback at throwing than Justin Fields, which Fields is running 1010 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 1: is awesome, Like he is a he's Lamar Jackson, but 1011 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 1: part of the reason why Lamar Jackson became an MVP 1012 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: is like he could throw thirty five touchdowns. Can Fields 1013 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: get to a point where he can throw at a 1014 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,800 Speaker 1: high level. I don't know. If you listen to me, 1015 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: you know where I kind of stand. I would entertain 1016 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 1: trading him if I liked one of these quarterbacks and 1017 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: I could get a couple of first round picks for 1018 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, if I'm Ryan Poles, because it doesn't feel 1019 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 1: like Ryan Poles. Let's face it is in love with 1020 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,479 Speaker 1: the guy. It just doesn't even you'd have to admit 1021 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: that if your GM says he needs to improve throwing. 1022 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,760 Speaker 1: A big fan from Canada. It's a small city near Vancouver, Victoria. 1023 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: I know where that is. I've been I've been to 1024 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: never been to Victoria, but I've been to Vancouver. Incredible city, incredible. 1025 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: Went to Whistler one time skiing. There was no snow. 1026 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,719 Speaker 1: It sucked, but it was fun. Got really drunk. What 1027 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: do you think the chances are that the forty nine 1028 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: ers gets Trey Lance's offseason and keep Jimmy around as 1029 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,720 Speaker 1: a backup. They barely pay Purty anything, so I figure 1030 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: it could work well. I think there are two ways 1031 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 1: to look at Trey Lance. When you draft a guy 1032 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,320 Speaker 1: as high as they did. They paid him a signing 1033 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: bonus of twenty five million dollars. His contract is thirty 1034 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: four million dollars all guaranteed. And the way if you 1035 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: look at the contract, the type in Trey Lances contract, 1036 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: his dead cap and cap hits are pretty high his 1037 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,440 Speaker 1: third and fourth years. Now, if he's not going to 1038 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: get his fifth year option picked up, I think you 1039 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,280 Speaker 1: could entertain trading him, but you would incur a cost 1040 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 1: trading him. You would have dead money on your cap 1041 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: from Trey Lance. Now, brock Perty is going to be 1042 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 1: the starter next year. That's not an opinion, that's a 1043 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: fact unless they signed Tom Brady, which I doubt they do. 1044 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,879 Speaker 1: But Brock But in terms of brock Purty Trey Lance, 1045 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 1: brock Purty is one and trey Lances two. Now, if 1046 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 1: you think part of the reason they love Trey Lance 1047 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: was character as good teammate, which from all accounts he is, 1048 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,360 Speaker 1: but it does get a little weird like brock Purty 1049 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: Trey Lance looking over him, I think you could entertain 1050 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 1: trading him. Like to me, if I could get a two, 1051 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,359 Speaker 1: if I get like a two and a three for him, 1052 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 1: see how he's gone. But I'm not just trading him 1053 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: for like a fourth because his value right now is 1054 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: not much. Because it's not like Trey Lance makes nothing. 1055 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 1: He doesn't make eight nine million dollars the next couple 1056 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 1: of years, so a team trading for him would have 1057 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,759 Speaker 1: to pay him. It's not like they're getting a guy 1058 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 1: for a couple million dollars. They are getting a guy 1059 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: who makes, you know, a decent ship, you know, chunk 1060 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: of change, who's never proved he can play. Started four 1061 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 1: games in his career and it hasn't been pretty. So 1062 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 1: I'd be all four trading him. I would do it 1063 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: in a heartbeat if I'd get a second round pick 1064 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: for him, probably second on a third. But I wouldn't 1065 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: just get rid of him to get rid of him. 1066 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: I would still try to work with him, maybe resurrect 1067 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,319 Speaker 1: his value. Some guys take longer, like we talked about 1068 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 1: Jordan Love clearly took a little bit longer, and who 1069 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 1: knows if he can even play. Trey Lance wasn't even 1070 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 1: remotely close to being ready. Rock Party immediately comes in 1071 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: the game as a seventh round player and it's like functional, 1072 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 1: So I would guess Trey Lance is on the team 1073 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,799 Speaker 1: next year as a backup. But I you know, now 1074 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: that ran Carthon is the GM of the Titans, maybe 1075 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,879 Speaker 1: they would be interested. I don't think it's a lock 1076 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 1: that he's back for sure. Okay, Hey John, Seattle fan here, 1077 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: and I'm wondering what would be what you think would 1078 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 1: be the best draft pick for them. I'm not a 1079 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 1: believer in Gino, but with all the holes in the roster, 1080 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 1: what do you think part of it is Geno's number? Like? 1081 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: Do I get Gino back for fifteen million dollars? Cool? 1082 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm bringing them back, and I'm still entertaining taking a 1083 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: quarterback with what are you guys picking the fifth pick? 1084 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 1: I'd have to go. I haven't looked at the draft 1085 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 1: order and since probably the week eighteen, so I have 1086 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,479 Speaker 1: to go back and look at it. But I would 1087 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: entertain Seattle's gonna entertain and taking a quarterback no matter what. 1088 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: Like And the other thing is, I can't see them 1089 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 1: paying Gino thirty million dollars a year. Who is paying 1090 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: Gino thirty million dollars a year? I saw Jordan Schultzer 1091 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,919 Speaker 1: someone on the interweb said that, you know, get ready, 1092 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: one hundred plus million dollars for Gino? See you nice 1093 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: knowing you appreciate your thirty touchdowns this year, godspeed, Go 1094 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: get him, Go get him Champ, because would I give 1095 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 1: him two years, forty million dollars and guarantee twenty Yeah, 1096 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: probably something like that, But under no circumstances am I 1097 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,439 Speaker 1: going more than a multi year deal in the range 1098 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,280 Speaker 1: of some of these numbers that are getting thrown around. 1099 00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 1: I would rather take my chances from scratch. So I 1100 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: think that you guys are gonna take I'm guessing Seattle 1101 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: takes a quarterback this year. Might not be with your 1102 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: top overall pick, but I'm pretty sure you're doing it. 1103 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 1: What more does brock Purdy need to do? Oh? Hey John, 1104 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 1: this is all love all the way from Australia, got 1105 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 1: you through Colin's feet. Appreciate you, Tristan. What more does 1106 00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: Purdy need to do? If he wasn't the last pick 1107 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,759 Speaker 1: in the draft and was a top five, shit even 1108 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: top ten pick, none of the criticism would be coming. 1109 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 1: Quarterback's job is to make good decisions, put yourself in 1110 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: the best position to win, and facilitate the offense. Why 1111 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,919 Speaker 1: do we hold his landing spot against him. He's only 1112 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 1: doing what he's asked to do. Also is why we 1113 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: love kyle scheme and play calling and decision making on players. 1114 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 1: And I understand people with on high picks, but as 1115 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: soon as it comes to Trey, we don't trust Kyle's 1116 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: decision making, whether it's whether it was Kyle's pick or not. 1117 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: The kids raw and started four games. Can't we just 1118 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: let the kid on the field before we turn him 1119 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 1: into armchair exp Sorry I'm kind of getting lost here. 1120 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe social media. Everyone just wants to 1121 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: have their say, love the part cheers like listen, This 1122 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: is I think the most easiest way to understand the 1123 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: Trey Lance Brock party situation. This is a bottom line 1124 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: fucking league. It's bottom line. You either get the job 1125 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 1: done or you don't. And injuries, whether they're your fault 1126 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: or not, they make me not be able to depend 1127 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 1: on you. And when you get hurt, you can't play, 1128 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 1: so I can't evaluate you. Brock Purdy has played every 1129 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: game he's been in, never gets hurt. Now, it's a 1130 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,439 Speaker 1: small sample side, but Trey Lance started four games last 1131 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,479 Speaker 1: year he got hurt. He hurt his knee and missed 1132 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 1: a game after he started it against Arizona. And this 1133 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 1: year obviously chattered his ankle, so he had two years 1134 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 1: of playing and he got injured immediately, partly because he 1135 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: can't really throw in terms of accurately, so they had 1136 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 1: to run him all the time. They had run him 1137 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: all the time, like justin fields of Lamar Jackson, except 1138 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't run like those guys, and he gets caught 1139 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 1: pretty easily. So listen, I was bullish on Trey Lance 1140 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 1: because I like tall, big, physical players, but his arms, 1141 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: his release is really loopy, and in his short time 1142 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 1: playing he was very, very inaccurate. And then brock Purty 1143 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 1: comes in and he's much more accurate, and he's just 1144 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: a much better player. So I think the way that 1145 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: we figure these things out, it's like, do you get 1146 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: the job done or you don't. Like part of the 1147 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 1: reason Geno Smith is an intriguing player because he's through 1148 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: for thirty touchdowns. It's not because people like him he's funny. 1149 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,080 Speaker 1: It's like he's fucking good. You either get the job 1150 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 1: done or you don't. And Lance simply did not. And 1151 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: Purdy came in and immediately was better than Jimmy Garoppolo, 1152 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,880 Speaker 1: and back to Purdy like part of it. Yeah, when 1153 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: you're a first round pick. We hold you to a 1154 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 1: different esteem, we hold you to a different standard. We 1155 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 1: judge you differently than we do fifty six seventh round picks. Now, 1156 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,439 Speaker 1: if you become a really good player after a while, 1157 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: we don't care where you were picked. But it takes 1158 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: a couple of years for that to happen. So Purty 1159 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: would have to keep doing well this year and then 1160 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: play again good well next year for us not to 1161 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: view him as a seventh round pick. Now, that'll always 1162 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: be part of his story. But we just talk about 1163 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady as a great player. We just talk like. 1164 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: We don't talk about Dax's draft position anymore. We just 1165 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: talk about how much money he makes, Like same with 1166 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, how much money he makes after a while. 1167 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where you get picked. It's how good 1168 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: you are, how good you play in big games, how 1169 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 1: much or salary impacts a salary cap like so, I 1170 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 1: just think it takes time, and I would say Purty 1171 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: has done. You know, the forty nine ers have won playoffs, 1172 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 1: four playoff games with Jimmy Garoppolo, this guy's better period, 1173 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,439 Speaker 1: point blank. Now is he Mahomes Burrow, Alan Herbert, any 1174 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: of those level talents, of course not, but he's pretty 1175 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 1: damn good. If you redid the draft, I'll promise you this. 1176 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 1: He ain't going two sixty two, you know, he ain't 1177 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 1: going to sixty two. Probably goes like second third round, 1178 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 1: and if he keeps playing like this, he might even 1179 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 1: go higher in that. So yeah, it's just it's just 1180 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 1: part of the deal. It's what makes It's why whenever 1181 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 1: I see draft is so Unamerican. Yeah, it's part of 1182 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 1: the business model. That's why these leagues print money for 1183 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: their players. The draft matters. The draft creates conversation for 1184 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: the rest of a player's career, and the draft in 1185 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 1: itself is an enormous money making venture for the NFL 1186 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: that benefits the players. The Fell Draft is one of 1187 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 1: the most important couple days in the league from obviously 1188 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: a team building standpoint, but from a business standpoint. So 1189 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 1: I think his story the rest of his career, a 1190 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 1: little like Tom Brady, will be about being this mister irrelevant. 1191 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 1: Think about that. He isn't just a seventh round pick. 1192 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: He's mister Irrelevant. Might turn out to be one of 1193 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 1: the best, slash luckiest picks the forty nine ers ever. 1194 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 1: Make talk to everyone Later, audios have a good day. 1195 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: The volume
