1 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: What is Happening? John Middle cop Three and Out Podcast, 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: October twenty night, Thursday night. I I had briefly thought, 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, does anyone care about Panthers Falcons. 4 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: I'll just record the podcast before the game, and I 5 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: record the majority of the podcast usually the way a 6 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: little inside three and Out. You know, on Thursday nights, 7 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm not staying up till midnight to do this. I 8 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: record the bulk of it during the day or definitely 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: from like in the afternoon before the game, because a 10 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: lot of times on Thursday night, like next week is 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: Packers Niners, so it's usually a pretty good game. I 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: like reacting to it. I didn't realize who was playing 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: until today and I saw Falcons Panthers. I'm like, do 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I even't want to watch this game? And I was like, 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'll watch five minutes and then I'm making dinner. 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: Then I watched the whole thing, and I was like, 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, football is a little like pizza. Even when 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: it's bad, it's still not that bad. You know, you 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: still enjoy it. So I have a couple of thoughts 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: on the game, Uh, nothing really on the Falcons. I got, 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: I got no takes on them. They just need to 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: get a coach. We'll dive into a lot of things 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: going on from to a starting just some thoughts on 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: just I know Colin had a pretty interesting take on Thursday. 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: I've been thinking a lot about it. The trade deadline. 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: Some guys that should be moved, the Niners, Seattle Ravens Steelers. 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: You know, two of the better rivalry games. Three for 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: the money this weekend. Uh some my three picks. I 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: actually give a little sleeper picks, So I got four picks. 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm fifteen seven on the Year three Out podcast. If 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: you listen on Apple or iTunes, greatly appreciate if you 32 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: leave a review, helps with the selling of the show. 33 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: Just got some numbers from the last quarter.

We'll keep this thing flowing, 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: We'll keep this thing growing, and we'll just take it 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: as far as we can go. No stopping us. There's 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: no Cavin Cash to come tap me on the shoulder 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: and take me out of the game. I'll just keep 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: giving takes and I appreciate everyone listening. And of course 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff is the Middle Coff mail bag. You 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: slide up in those d M s. I answer them 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: at the end of the show. Like I said, I 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: don't have a take on the Falcons franchise, though I 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: had an agent tell me that the franchise, the situation 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: there is not very desirable. Right. They don't have any 46 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: cap space. They're stuck with Julio, They're stuck with Matt Ryan. 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: Those guys aren't tradeable because they have huge cap numbers 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: and Arthur Blank just paid them a lot of money. 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: But one thing someone told me, maybe I've mentioned this 50 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: on the show before, I'm not sure if I have, 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: is that a coaching agent said people are gonna be 52 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: lined up for that job in several factors, like why 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: would anyone want any job? Right? How about you paying well? 54 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: Arthur Blank has unlimited amount of money? What are your resources? Again? 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: Huge cash? Where's your location Atlanta? People love living in 56 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: that area. It's cheap the South. If you live like 57 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: a king for a million dollars, a million dollars, you 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: live like a king. Well, if you're coach in the NFL, 59 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: you make seven eight nine million dollars, so you really 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: live like a king. And I just think people like 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: that job is gonna be very very interesting. Despite it 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: might be shitty for a year because you're kind of 63 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: stuck with Matt. You're stuck with just some of these 64 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: bad contracts. But the way the NFL works, you can 65 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: flush it out in a year or two, kind of reset, 66 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: flush out some of Thomas de Metrops whiffs, and kind 67 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: of go from there. But the thing that jumped out 68 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: to me tonight in this game, I think you know 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: it right away with a good coach, it just pops. 70 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: And I thought, and I'm wrong, that the Panthers were 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: gonna be awful. Just I looked at their roster. I'm 72 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: like Teddy, It just Matt Rules never coached in the NFL. 73 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Joe Brady was, you know, making a huge jump in 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: a two year period of time. I was wrong. Now 75 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't think their roster is any good. But they 76 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: are extremely competitive. I know they lost tonight in their 77 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: three and five. I thought they'd win three games all season, 78 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: and they're gonna end up winning probably six or seven. 79 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: But how competitive are they are every week? How well 80 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: coached are they? Every week? They ran a fake punt, 81 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: they ran a flee flicker today. Here's what I know. 82 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: Matt Rule's worth every Penny so far. Now he's gonna 83 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: be like a Tomlin. He's gonna be like a Hardball, 84 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna be dependent on his coordinators because he's not 85 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: some offensive guru. He's not some defensive guru. He's just 86 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: kind of a leader and a culture guy. Well, if 87 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: you're an elite at that, it works. We've seen it 88 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: with Hardball, We've seen it with Tomlin. It works. And 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: like what I was just saying with Arthur Blank, his owner, 90 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: David Tepper, google him a ton of cash and he 91 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: paid literally, he paid cash for his franchise, Steve Balmer style. 92 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: When you do that, you know, I I pay cash. 93 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't even pay cash for like a car. I 94 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: pay cash. Like I see it I wanted. I went 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: to the Apple Store of thinking about getting a new iPhone, 96 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: and uh, I actually I am gonna get one because 97 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: my phone I have to have my earpiecingn't even talk. 98 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: The speaker's broke. And so I'm like, you know what, 99 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: I'll go get the iPhone twelve. I go in there. 100 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: They don't have the twelve pro that I want. They 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: have the twelve And since you know I'm a media guy, 102 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: I have take some pictures and ship. I was like, 103 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, I'll wait till the twelve and then I'll go, like, 104 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go buy an iPad? How much are the 105 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: iPad pros? The big ones? I just have a normal 106 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: iPad And I looked there and I'm like, dudeen, I 107 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: already had like three at home. But it looks so 108 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: sweet and it was so big. These guys are paying 109 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: two billion cash for a franchise. I'm like, should I 110 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: am I gonna an iPad pro? I had to talk 111 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: to myself into it, into it, then I talked to 112 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: myself out of it. But just the level of wealth 113 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: that those two owners have is stupid. It's on the 114 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: high end of the NFL, especially Temper, and he paid 115 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: big money for rule and I think it's pretty clear 116 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: that the guy is gonna be an impact coach in 117 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: the league. It's gonna take us some time. He's gonna 118 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: need to get a franchise quarterback, He's gonna need to 119 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: get just better foundational pieces. But what he's doing with 120 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater is really impressive. And when I say what 121 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: he's doing, I mean Joe Brady and I thought this 122 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: about midway through the game here's what I know. I 123 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: talked to Bruce Feldman on my other podcast and we 124 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: talked he spent he just wrote that book where it's 125 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: the d oseron book. He wrote it with him, flipped 126 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: the script with Eddie Odern and Bruce Feldman's known Eddie 127 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: oh forever. And he spent like, you know, three weeks 128 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: for a month with l s U and around Joe 129 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: Brady and obviously Joe Burrow, but a lot of time 130 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: around Joe Brady. And I asked him, like, did he 131 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: what do you think of him? He said, he's really 132 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: impressive now at the time, like he was growing into 133 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: the stardom. But he's like, you know, he spent all 134 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: his time in these meetings with Justin Jefferson, with Jamaar Chase, 135 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 1: obviously with Joe Burrow. He was just always around his guys, 136 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: well other coaches. Sometimes, like if you ever been into 137 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: most people probably listening, haven't if you go into the 138 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: auditorium where a team meets. When you go into a 139 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: two meeting in college or the pros, typically all the 140 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: players sitting seats, the head coach and maybe the coordinators 141 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: are up front, and most of the assistant coaches, the 142 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: GM in college, the recruit Cordiner, all those guys are 143 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: in the back. He was, like Joe Brady was just 144 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of the auditorium with his wide receivers. 145 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: That's just kind of who he is. And he's young, 146 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, he's thirty one years old. But we all 147 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: watched his offense last year for LS. You it was incredible. 148 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was historically great. Is arguably the greatest 149 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: offense we've ever seen in the history of college football. 150 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: Start to finish. What he's doing with Teddy Bridgewater, no 151 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, some running back I've never really heard of, 152 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: uh d J. Moore, some random wide receivers is really impressive. 153 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: He's going to get interviews this I was gonna say fall, 154 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: but this January. I think it would be gross negligence 155 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: not to interview him. Now, does that mean he's gonna 156 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: get a job now? There are guys that have been coordinating. 157 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: Brian Dable has been coordinating longer. Arthur Smith now is 158 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: in I guess year two for the Titans. Joe Brady 159 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: this is really his first year as a full time coach. 160 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: I guess as a quality control coach or a full 161 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: time coach, but you don't have a position. Uh, he's 162 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: a coordinator. He's made a fast jump. He's just getting 163 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: interviewed now. The one thing Feldman had mentioned when we 164 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: were talking to him, it's like, you know, the one 165 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: thing with Sean McVeigh, and you see it. He's got 166 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: a huge personality. Joe Brady is a little introverted in terms. 167 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: He's not some self promoter I actually have and I'm 168 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: not saying Sean McVeigh is either. But Sean McVeigh is 169 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: very comfortable in the spotlight. And I think Kyle Shanahan 170 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: is probably a good example for Joe Brady. Obviously they 171 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: came up different ways, but just I don't think Kyle 172 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: is some spotlight seeker. He's not some leaker to the media. 173 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: He's definitely not some front running guy when it comes 174 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: to worry about all the stuff outside of his building. 175 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: And it's worked out fine for him now. His personality, 176 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: I've had a front row seat. He's just been very 177 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: comfortable in his skin the whole time. I don't know, 178 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: just I've never watched Joe Brady's really his press conference 179 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: as much so that there's more to being a head 180 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: coach than just the ex's nose, but from the ex's 181 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: nose and running an offense, and clearly just now he's 182 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: building from what he did Lsu was historic. What he's 183 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: doing at Carolina with you know, a dull knife going 184 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: into a gunfight is impressive. I I just think you're 185 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: gonna hear his name in the cycle this fall and eventually. 186 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: And this is this is the one beef that I 187 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: have with those type coaches, John Harbaugh, Mike tom and 188 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: and that rule is they are coordinator dependent. Now. For example, 189 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: John Harbo has been lucky. His coordinators don't leave right. 190 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: Greg Roman can't get a head coaching job, wink Martindale. 191 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: No one wants to hire defensive coordinator Tomlin. They've done 192 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: a pretty good job of recycling guys, elevating guys, and 193 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: it's worked out pretty well, pretty consistently. Now they've had 194 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback for over a decade, so 195 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: it's probably you know, you saw with the Ravens going 196 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: through the Flacco years, it got a little dicey there. 197 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing when you have Andy Reid. 198 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: It's why I always lean if I'm gonna go with 199 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: the coach I want him to call a side of 200 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: the ball, or at least have the ability to eventually, 201 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 1: Like if Belichick doesn't want to do it, whatever, but 202 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: if Belichick every needs to be the defensive coordinator, he 203 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: can do it. I was looking the other day. I 204 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: was like, you know, who was the defensive coordinator for 205 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: USC when they were kicking the ship out of everyone 206 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: in the mid two thousands, Because I wanted to look 207 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: at the coaching staff, you know, like when Sark and 208 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: Lane and Eddie Oh were there. I was like, who's 209 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator? Oh is Pete Carroll? You know four 210 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: oh five, you know those years he was the defensive coordinator, 211 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. Some people like, what does he doing? Well? 212 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's when I left the Combine one year. 213 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: The irony is I flew back to the Bay Area 214 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: from the Combine and we had to have a connecting 215 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: flight to Houston. And on my flight on both flights 216 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: was Jim Harbaugh. And this was like two housd of 217 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: twelve when Hardball was kind of becoming like Jim Harbaugh. 218 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: And on the second flight from Houston to San Francisco, 219 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: Hardball was not even in first class. He was in 220 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: the middle seat with like this Asian couple. And if 221 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: I didn't have an iPhone at the time, I would 222 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: you could just see his big gass head he had 223 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: on his outfit in the middle. Flying home from the combine. 224 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know how I got off on that rant, 225 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: because okay, I remember because as I was walking to 226 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: my flight at an Indie to fly back to San Francisco, 227 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: the other flights go headed to the West coast, there 228 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: was Seattle, and obviously Pete Carroll was flying to Seattle, 229 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: and he was at a table with some of his 230 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: defensive staff, and I remember kind of like kind of 231 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: walking slow. Again I'm working in the league. I was 232 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: still kind of in awe around some of these guys, 233 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: Like I was numb around like Coach Reid and the 234 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: guys on our staff. But whenever you run into Jim 235 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Harbaugh or Pete Carroll or Bill Belichick at the combine, hell, 236 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: I still am the last time when I went this, 237 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, first time you meet new people, it's always 238 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: kind of cool. It's like, oh, there's Mike Vrabel, right, 239 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: or there's Jerry Jones. When you just you just we're 240 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: all humans, you know. I don't I don't act like 241 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm cool enough to be like in awe of this, 242 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: and I definitely was at the time. And I vividly 243 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: remember looking down and he had like a napkin and 244 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: he was drawn place in defense. And that was right. 245 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: That next year is right when they started getting really good. 246 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: So they had an Earl, they had Surem, they had 247 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor, they got Cliff Avril, and it was on 248 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong and they started kicking the ship out 249 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: of everybody. So I just think some of these guys 250 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: like they really have a scheme that they can go 251 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: back to and they know it, Like Pete Carroll knows 252 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: that defense like the back of his hand. And I 253 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: just I I that'll be my question with Matt Rule, 254 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: but I like him. I don't see how you couldn't. 255 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: And I gotta say I was wrong on on the Panthers. 256 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be that They're going to 257 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: compete for the number one pick in the draft. And 258 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: I think you see, like Teddy Bridgewater is a great guy, 259 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: super high character, solid player. You know, probably a bottom 260 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: ten starting quarterback in a perfect world. Teddy bridge Waters 261 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: back up, what what Teddy Bridgewater would be best backup 262 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: in the league. I'd pay him like eight ten million dollars. 263 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't really want to pay him like twenty to 264 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: be on my starter. I think they gave him three 265 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: year sixty million dollars. I'd love to pay him like 266 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: eight and have him back up, you know, my starter. 267 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: I have no problem doing it. Uh that that that 268 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: to me is probably the perfect role for him. And 269 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: I would imagine Carolina, you know, will be in the 270 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: quarterback market this this upcoming draft. If you had a 271 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: chance to see Colin Show on Thursday, he had like 272 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: an epiphany about ta about you know, sometimes we start 273 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: betting on outliers, and there's a reason. In the NFL, 274 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: for example, big quarterbacks tend to tend to dominate, right 275 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: the average quarterback success. We're all big guys, he said, 276 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: of the thirty you know, top thirty quarterbacks of all 277 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: time are tall, you know, the the really the one 278 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: outliers Drew Brees And I've been thinking a lot about 279 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: to a And the best way I can equate just 280 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: the situation for the Dolphins is less necessarily about him 281 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: and more about the decision they made on who they picked. 282 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: Because they could have picked him or Justin Herbert, and 283 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: some information is in on Justin Herbert. He looks fucking awesome. 284 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: And I think, I think the biggest decision we make 285 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: as human beings is who we spend our life with. 286 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: It's much bigger than any professional decision, because in a 287 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: professional decision, you can always quit. You can always leave. Now, 288 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: you can say, well, middle coff, you can get a 289 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: divorce or you can break up. Yeah, they get very 290 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: very personal. And when you get when you have children 291 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: and when you have a life together for a while 292 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: as divorces, I'm sure we all everyone listening knows the 293 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: divorces get ugly, especially the more money you have and 294 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: the more children you have. And for anyone young listening, like, 295 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: it's good to date. You get to meet a lot 296 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: of people and once you find the right person, ideally, 297 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not married, but I'm in a pretty 298 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: serious relationship right now, and you you know what you 299 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: look for and you know what you want out of 300 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: the other person, because when you do get married, you 301 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: know it's it's a very very serious financial decision, and 302 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: obviously it's very personal. I mean, you become partners with 303 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: these people in life, and I think I see a 304 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: lot of people that get with someone and aren't happy, 305 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: and they spent a lot of time on Facebook or 306 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: Instagram looking at their X. That's not ideal. When you're happy, 307 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: you might do that a little bit too, just because 308 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: you're bored and you're curious. But I've been with people 309 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: and I don't give a shit about the person I 310 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: just dated. Hell, we don't even want to follow im, like, 311 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: good luck to you. And then there are people I know, 312 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: people that have got at a bad breakup or a 313 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: bad divorce, and that person wins. Right The person that 314 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: you broke up with or you dumped gets in a 315 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: better situation and you wish you could have them back, 316 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: and there's no coming back. I think we're seeing a 317 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: little bit with Brady and Belichick. Now it's not exactly 318 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: like a personal relationship, but for the short term, Brady's winning, 319 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, And at the end of the day, I'm 320 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: a big believer in this. For the most part, there 321 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: are winners and losers in life, and not often and 322 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: people often say this in business and that that I've 323 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: been around, whether it's NFL people, NFL people always say this, 324 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually, business people always say this. When 325 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: I do a deal, I want both sides to win. 326 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: Most business people I know they want to win the deal. 327 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: In the NFL, they at least want to make it 328 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: good for the other side because they want to keep 329 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: trading with that person. Right, So you never want to 330 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: quote unquote screw over another team because they not might 331 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: not do another deal with you. In business, like someone's 332 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: just gonna make more money than the other person typically, 333 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: But the personal relationship, like want you decide that person, 334 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: especially if you've dated other person, You made a decision, 335 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: you thought that they were the best person for you. 336 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, the Miami Dolphins 337 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: have a chance to pick between two people. And I think, 338 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: like in relationships, the most important player that a franchise 339 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: will ever draft or pay for in free agency to 340 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: be their starter is their quarterback. Right, He's the most 341 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: important player any sport, any position. He dictates your franchise success. 342 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: You draft Rogers, you win for a decade. You draft 343 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, it basically resurrects and a relevant franchise. You 344 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: draft Daniel Jones, you might be screwed, right, I don't know. 345 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: You draft Tom Brady, you become the new England Patriot Dynasty, 346 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: Joe Montana. Right, we've seen it. We know I don't 347 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: need to lecture anybody but you in tuh. I will 348 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: never compare to it to Joe Burrow. Now I will 349 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: just from a talent standpoint. But I can never judge 350 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: the Dolphins on They didn't choose to over Joe Burrow. 351 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: They didn't have the opportunity to choose Joe Burrow, unlike 352 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: the Chargers, which people I've talked to said that they 353 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: would have taken to over Herbert, and I think I 354 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: would imagine most NFL teams. I'm just gonna take an 355 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: educated guess. Plus teams had to over Herbert and that's fine. 356 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: Now a lot of those teams will tell you we 357 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: didn't have the chance to draft him. Then they never 358 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: get judged on them. But the one team that's gonna 359 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: get judged on it is the Miami Dolphins. To who 360 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: makes his first start this week? And I'm not necessarily 361 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: gonna judge this week in a vacuum, they're playing the 362 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: Rams that are way better. It could look really ugly, 363 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: but just moving forward, because Collins theory is like, is 364 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: are we sure he's picking up and fast enough? And 365 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: strong enough like Jerry Judy, Davante Smith Waddle, and I'm 366 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: already forgetting the other. Who am I missing? Oh? And 367 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: Rugs ain't walking through that door, so it's gonna be difficult. 368 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: He always had the dack steck to his side. And 369 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm not some too a hater. I like to I'm 370 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: rooting for to of. But if Justin Herbert, who's got 371 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns, three picks, But it ain't even about the 372 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: numbers you us watched Justin Herbert. I'm watching the game. 373 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: I went last week into Santa Cruz, sitting there on 374 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: the couch watching the game. Like most times on Sunday, 375 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: I have Twitter open, and boom, I see Richard Sherman 376 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: and Richard tweets and Richard's hurt. Right, he didn't travel 377 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: with the forty Niners in New England, so he's just 378 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: at home. He's watching the Niner game. I'm watching the 379 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: Niner game and it keeps showing these Herbert highlights because 380 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: they're playing, oh, they're playing the Jacks, and like every 381 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: five ten minutes they cut in it's a Justin Herbert 382 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: just bomb and he's like, listen, and he got it 383 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: was smart He's like, I'm not watching the Charger game 384 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: because I'm watching the Niners. But every highlight of this kid, 385 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: he just looks like a star. This Richard Sherman, future 386 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. I'm thinking the same thing. It's just 387 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: some former scout guy that loves football. I'd imagine most 388 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: people listening, if you've seen highlights of Herbert let alone 389 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: watch them play, you go, holy shit, they got something there, 390 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: Like we've been all been watching football long enough. Whether 391 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: you're a twenty year old kid listening to this, we're 392 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: a forty year old. I don't think we have many 393 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: too many fifty year olds, you know, demoscuse a little 394 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: younger for podcasts. It's clear it's that guy physically has 395 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: everything you want, and he has just a lot of 396 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: pure talent. Right he's he's six seven percent. He's been 397 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: really accurate. It just works. If the Chargers don't screw 398 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: it up and he stays healthy, they got something special, 399 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: Like what's the eye tests gonna look like with to it? 400 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: And that's to me where the pressure is on the Dolphins. 401 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Obviously they gotta put more talent around him. They got 402 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of draft picks are gonna be in position 403 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: to do that this offseason, But did they choose the 404 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: right person? Because I know a lot of people in 405 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: life that have choosing the right girlfriend or that became 406 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: their wife and lives happily ever after. And they're a 407 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: great partnership, they have healthy they have a healthy relationship, 408 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: kids are great. It's just a cool couple. I've known 409 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: people that have make catastrophic mistakes and it gets I'm 410 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: sure everyone listening. I know someone that went through a 411 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: very very ugly divorce, and to me, it's typically because 412 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: you pick the wrong person right And I know every 413 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: situation is different, but nothing in football, and let me repeat, 414 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: nothing in football gets uglier than and you pick the 415 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: wrong quarterback. Now, no one can hate on them for 416 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: picking to a super high, highly touted should have been 417 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: number one if he doesn't hurt his hip. But that 418 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: the evidence is in this Herbert, I can play and 419 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: it's their job to figure that out, not ours, like 420 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: we're just fans or me talking. It's not my it's 421 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: not I'm not paid to do that. And Flores and 422 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: I don't even forget if the general manager's name has 423 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: been there for a little while, it seems like good 424 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: they're doing a good job, but now is when they 425 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: really get judged. Fun story. When they've won right six 426 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: of their last eight games or whatever with Fitzpatrick and 427 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: they're competitive and they blow out the Niners, it's fun. 428 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter. It now matters. And to Ah, 429 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: he's got to be a star. You know, you draft 430 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: a guy fifth overall, Like you know what the Bengals do. 431 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: They don't even care about the other two guys. They 432 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: don't even pay attention to to Herbert. Do you know 433 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: what the Chargers do. They haven't even paid attention to 434 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: to our borough. They're just happy with their own guy there. 435 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: You know, the equivalent of they're just head over heels 436 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: right now our Dolphins fans and them. Month's gonna feel 437 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: like that now again, everything's in context the guys who're 438 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: playing with. I'm not expecting him to be as good 439 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: as these two guys, but just in the future, he's 440 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: gonna be judged against Justin Herbert, That's who he's gonna 441 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: get judged against. It's like Baker Mayfield, two guys who 442 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: were drafted after really three, and we'll see how it 443 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: all plays out. Like Baker was picked against Sam Donald 444 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: obviously Josh Rosen. Baker's clearly better than but Lamar Jackson 445 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Lamar Jack's already won an m v P. 446 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen if he wins this week, is gonna win 447 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: the division. So that that's just you get judged on 448 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: the people after you as a franchise and as a player. 449 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: And I two is not as talented physically as Herbert. 450 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: Now he's gonna have to be, as Colin said, and 451 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: this is why he kind of selling the stock, He's 452 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to be Drew Brees. Well, I know this. 453 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: The last guy that I was like, this guy's gonna 454 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: be Drew Brees was Baker Mayfield. Now, a huge part 455 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: of Drew brees success is maturity. Is his head. Clearly, 456 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: Baker's probably not that to uh Saban loves him. Everyone 457 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: I know that's been around him love him, never had 458 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: an issue. So above the head feels like a pretty 459 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: high level guy. Now on the field, can he be 460 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: accurate enough? Can he be quick enough? Because we know, 461 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: even if you're a great player in college, the NFL 462 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: is fucking hard even and it's probably never been easier 463 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: to play quarterback, but it's still really hard. It's why 464 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: I think when we're all watching Burrow and Herbert, we're like, 465 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: Holy Molly, these guys look good. You know. It was 466 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: like immediately and I listen, you guys know, I'm that 467 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: wasn't the biggest Lamar Jackson fan, but it was kind 468 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: of clear earlier like this guy's got something, like this 469 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: guy can play now canny morph into a passing quarterback 470 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: and be consistent. We'll see the Steelers, pretty big matchup 471 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: for Lamar this weekend, but we knew right away he belonged. 472 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: His team was way better than what TA is coming into. 473 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: But I'm interested if we just watched this weekend and 474 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: really these next two or three games, do we think 475 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: he belongs And I don't know because I already know 476 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: Herbert does. Okay, let's uh, let's talk trade deadline. And 477 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: for a long period of time in my life growing up, 478 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: you know, I'm in my mid the pties, I loved 479 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: baseball and basketball in the nineties because big trades would 480 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: happen right star players. Definitely baseball when I was growing up, 481 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: and still to this day get traded a lot in season. 482 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: In basketball, like every other year, some future Hall of 483 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: Famer gets traded in the middle of the season. Probably 484 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: happens less now more in the NBA in the off season, 485 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: but growing up it happened all the time in season. 486 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: In football, it was so rare for true trades to happen. 487 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: Occasionally in the off season a player was traded for 488 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: a draft pick, but before training camp, like star players. 489 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: Think how many star players have been traded in recent 490 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: memory in the last five years. I mean, just an 491 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: insane amount of legit star players have been traded in 492 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. Obviously Gruden traded too. Uh, the Seattle feels 493 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: like they trade one for one every year. Clowney now, 494 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams digs traded for a one, Ramsey traded, Tunsil traded. 495 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: This is off the top of my head. I think 496 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: we all know that the that the general managers in 497 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: the NFL and I worked for who was a little 498 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: ahead of his time, how he was so aggressive, and 499 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: really Andy Reid is aggressive too, And I think Belichick 500 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: like those two guys for a long period of time. 501 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: We're always doing crazy ship like in the two thousands. 502 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: In the two thousand tens, John Schneider came around, Sean 503 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: Payton came into his own like moves started happening. Now 504 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: every general manager is liable to do something or get 505 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: aggressive and willingness. Teams that are close willing to make trades. 506 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: And I think the key it's it's easy to me 507 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: when you're like the Green Bay Packers right now and 508 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: you go, should we trade, you know, a second round 509 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: pick for some sweet wide receiver? And it's a pretty 510 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: easy answer. Yes, you're in Aaron Rodgers prime. You get 511 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: another weapon to go with Davante and those running backs. 512 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: Your offense is awesome. You have a chance to win 513 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: the NFC. It's it's Seattle Russell Wilson prime, peak of 514 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: his powers. Did they overpay for Jamal Adams? You know, 515 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: I'm not judging him because he's heard, but yeah, they 516 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: overpaid a little bit. But he fits their culture. He 517 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: fits what they do in their scheme. I get it. 518 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: I think sometimes on the flip side, teams that are 519 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: really bad have always held onto players and not traded 520 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: on the deadline. I'm talking star players. I think we're 521 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: gonna see a potentially some unique names moved, and I 522 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: do believe that. I'm gonna give you three names. I 523 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: think these guys should be moved and if you think 524 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: big picture, and that's what any owner and general manager 525 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: should be doing. Now, my first team, the Texans, don't 526 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: even have a general manager. But if the owner knows 527 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: anything about football and his dad is owned the team 528 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: for however long he's been around the league, this is 529 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: pretty easy. When you don't have any draft picks, you 530 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: have to sell to get said picks. And when you're 531 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: a team like the Patriots and you don't have talent 532 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: on your roster, the only way to acquire talent is 533 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: by trading the most talent the player on your team. 534 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: And it's it's easy for the good teams or teams 535 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: that think they're gonna be good to go get Jalen 536 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: Ramsey right to go, like this offseason, the Eagles had 537 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: planned on being really good, injuries have derailed them to 538 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: go get Slay to make those type moves. A couple 539 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: of years ago, I saw it with the Niners. It 540 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: didn't work out, but they got aggressive. They went and 541 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: got DeFord Like it's it's easy for a team that 542 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: thinks like this the year we make the playoffs to 543 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: make that move. I think sometimes it's harder for the 544 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: shittier team to be like Okay, here's J. J. Watt 545 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: and let's start with the Texans. They have no cap space. Hell, 546 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: they don't have a coach or general manager, but they 547 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: have no cap space and they got no picks. But 548 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: the most important thing is they don't have any picks. 549 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: And when you don't have any picks, the only way 550 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: to get picks back is to trade a big time player. 551 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: They're obviously not going to trade Deshaun Watson, and they're 552 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: not gonna trade Laramie Tunzil his left tackle. The one 553 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: guy that has a lot of value on their team 554 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: is J. J. Watt, and he's actually played really well 555 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: these last couple of years. I actually think he still 556 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: has a lot of value. Could you get a second 557 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: and a third for J. J. Watt right now, clear 558 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: some cap space because he makes a lot of money. 559 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: It would be hard because he has been easily the 560 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: most famous player in franchise history of the Houston Texans 561 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: Houston Oilers a little before my time, but of the 562 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: Houston Texans, he's been one of most famous players in 563 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: the league. But he still brings I mean, every team 564 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: in the league that wants to improve their defense should 565 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: be interested in J. J. Watt. He has position, versatility, 566 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 1: high character guy, and he plays his ass off and 567 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: I actually think he would benefit a lot from a 568 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: just from a new beginning. Almost He's a free agent 569 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: in two years, so is value You get him this 570 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: year and you get him next year, which if you 571 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: trade a second and third, you're a team that's kind 572 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: of in the window right now. To me, it makes 573 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: some sense. The pushback is gonna be I and everything 574 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: I've read is the owner loves this guy, and typically 575 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: the owners love their best players. Why because they make 576 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: him a lot of money And a big reason the 577 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: Texans have won the Division four the last five years 578 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: is J. J. Watt. Right, He's won a bunch of 579 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: Defensive Players of the Year. He's beene of the best 580 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: players in the in the league. I get it. But 581 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: if you can take a step back, if you can 582 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: take a deep breath, you go your team is terrible. 583 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna win three or four games this year. You 584 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: do not have a first round pick. You do not 585 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: have a first round pick. So you need to take 586 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: a deep breath and realize, how do we recruit some picks. 587 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: We're never gonna recruit that first round pick. The Dolphins 588 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: are gonna get If the Texans go three and thirteen, 589 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are gonna have like pick four or pick five. 590 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: That sucks, but it's watering the bridge. It's the milks 591 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: already spilled. Nothing you can do. I've tried to learn 592 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: this in life. You can't cry and bitch and moan 593 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: about things that have already happened. That's what losers do. 594 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: Winners they look forward. Belichick has made a million mistakes 595 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: in the last twenty years, but he's always looking forward. 596 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: And that's why, to me, I'm not sure every team 597 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: in the league that needs a defensive lineman that's in 598 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: the playoff mix should be all over J. J. Watt 599 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: to meet Gilmore with the Patriots is a no brainer. 600 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: I've seen Belichick trade Richard Seymour and trade Logan Mankins 601 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: when they were good and they were competing for Super Bowls. 602 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: He's trade did great players when they had twelve win 603 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: teams in what world? Doesn't make any sense for a 604 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: team that has little to no talent. Who if they 605 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: lose this week, which I think it's fair to say 606 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: they probably will, there two and five, they look destined 607 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: for four or five wins. Their team just sucks. They 608 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: don't have any talent. Turns out Cam the Seattle game 609 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: fooled us all. He's just not any good. This is 610 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: the one guy that can still bring value now he 611 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: is thirty years old. I saw Peter Schrager do a 612 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: long list of the guys in recent memory that have 613 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: been traded for first round picks have all been twenty seven. 614 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: So I don't know if you get a first round 615 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: pick for Gilmore, could you get two twos? Because he's 616 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: under contract again next year. He's easily one of the 617 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: best corners in the league. I think a lot of 618 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: teams would be interested in this guy. I mean, he's 619 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: just an elite player, big time character guy. Belichick loves him, 620 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: but I think I know Belichick poop pooed it, like 621 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where that's coming from. Well, Bill, you 622 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: trade people all the time. Why why wouldn't you trade 623 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: this guy when your team's going nowhere? It's the right 624 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: economic move. And if any anything, you've been like worn 625 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: buffet of football, you've been all about like the economics 626 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: and the value of players, and this is he's still 627 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: really good, but you're just selling because your franchise is 628 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: going nowhere and help you recoup a couple of picks, 629 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: maybe a second and a third. I don't know, maybe some. 630 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it. I don't think 631 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: you get a one form Maybe you could as another GM. 632 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't give a one for a guy that's dirty. 633 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: That'd be really risky. But if he gave you four 634 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: more years, had elite play and you could resign him, 635 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: I think you could talk yourself into a one. But 636 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: to me, this is the guy that I think they 637 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: have to trade. That'd be the Dallas Cowboys and micro 638 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. They have a Mari Cooper and they just 639 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: gave him a sixty million dollar signing bonus. He's not 640 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: going anywhere, and he's really good, and DAC likes him 641 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: like he's staying. They just drafted Ceedee Lamb. Obviously they're 642 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: not gonna trade him. The Cowboys who stink Ben Denucci 643 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: or Venucci. I'll be completely candid. I'd imagine most people 644 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: would agree with me. We've never heard of this guy 645 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: before this year. Why we don't follow James Madison football. 646 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: They could get destroyed by the Eagles, who aren't that 647 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: good right now, Because I got a bunch of injuries. 648 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: Now they're getting some players back. I think Jalen Reagor's 649 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: back and uh Dallas Goddard's back. So if the offense 650 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: is good, Cowboys are in shambles. The one valuable piece 651 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: that makes some sense to trade because unlike J. J. 652 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: Watton Gilmore, who do have salaries, So a team would 653 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: have to move some money around potentially to get a 654 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: guy like Gilmore. What they wouldn't have to do that 655 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: with Gallup? He was I think a second or third 656 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: round pick. He doesn't make huge money. He's a really 657 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: good player. Like when I see the Packers are interested 658 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: in Will Fuller. If I was the Packers, I'd be 659 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: interested in Michael Gallup. Put Gallop with Davante Adams and 660 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: that run game. I'd give next years too for that. 661 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't Cowboys do that? Like Dallas, You're you're going nowhere, 662 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: you don't have any players, Your players are old, they 663 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: don't care. You're gonna have to cut a lot of 664 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: these guys. You just maybe you second or third Like 665 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: if I was if I was Green Bay, I would 666 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: think about that. That one, to me makes the most sense. 667 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: The Gilmore and Watt to get a little football nerdy. 668 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: It gets a little more complicated because they make a 669 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: lot of money and they got big cap hits. Now, 670 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: granted were eight games into the season, or I guess 671 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: in week eight, so it's it's a pro rated version 672 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: of how much they've already been paid. But it is 673 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: a little trickier for teams that are up against the cap. 674 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: But to me, Michael Gallup is the easy one. Uh, 675 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: And I think it's the right move for Dallas now. 676 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: Jerry very emotional. Uh, They're all all these players are 677 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: his right because he's drafted them all. He's the GM slash, 678 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: the owner. I don't know if he'll be able to 679 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: do something like that, but if he was smart, if 680 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: you could take a deep breath and realize his team 681 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: is going nowhere fast, that to me is the easiest 682 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: move to make of all these trades. There are two 683 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: games this weekend that I just I'm giddy over and 684 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: I look forward to when the boat when both teams 685 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: are good because one has been a rivalry for a 686 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: long time, I mean almost two decades now. The other 687 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: one became a rival when Jim Harbaugh showed up in 688 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: the Seattle game and the Niners got shitty for a while, 689 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: and it got resurrected last year. And I've always said this, 690 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: I watched football. I watched it for several reasons. I like, 691 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, following players as they come up. I love 692 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: the tactical element from the coaching staffs right the the 693 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: excess nose, you know, probably not even that, more like 694 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: not deep deep in the excess nose, like I wonder 695 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: what they're gonna run against Cover two, But just more 696 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: what you do, how I react plays that work once 697 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: you take it away, what do I do? Stuff that 698 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, anyone on their couch can see is it's 699 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: always really powerful. And it's why the one sport I 700 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: guess Kevin Cash this week pulling Blake's now. But you 701 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: got a pretty good feel if a team's well coached 702 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: not well coached, and when team when coaches are really good, 703 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: when they do wow, I can't believe that they I 704 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: saw that coming. And obviously there are times, you know 705 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: in football, when you just keep running the same play 706 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: and shove get down their throat like that. That's coaching too. 707 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: But one element of football that I think we all 708 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: kind of gravitate towards, and the reality is when it 709 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: comes to violence, humans are all kind of especially men 710 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: are drawn to it. Think about all the fights in 711 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: junior high in high school, every kid on campus comes 712 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: running around to watch two kids throw blows. It could 713 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: be girls or boys. I mean how I saw them 714 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: both growing up. I would imagine depending on where you 715 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: high school or when you went to high school, you 716 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: saw some crazy fights. And the moment you know a 717 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: fight is gonna happen in junior high or high school, 718 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: any kid in the you know, close radius come sprinting 719 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: over to watch. We're all drawn to it. And I 720 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 1: you know, there's an element of football, the big hits. 721 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: It's a lot different now. Growing up, guys getting k 722 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: owed it was a it was an extremely violent game, 723 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: and you could argue was it was unsafe? Right? I 724 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: mean it really was just the the the head hunting hits. 725 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: Like I I think it's a positive. And I'm someone 726 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: that to Z moans about when they throw you know, 727 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness or you know, uh, you know, unsportsmanlike conduct 728 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 1: when it comes to hitting the quarterback, because I think 729 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: the ninety nine of the hits you see on the 730 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: quarterback are pretty safe. Sometimes liked you know, he slammed 731 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: him into the ground. Well, no, ship, he's three on 732 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: forty pounds and he picked Russell Wilson up. He's sorry, 733 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: he's not Uh, he can't float. I don't know what 734 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: he wanted to do. And I think one thing they've 735 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: really done in the sport of football, because of the 736 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: the penalty of leading with the helmet, is kind of 737 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: regulated that out and coached it out of the game. 738 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: But the one thing this sport is is it's still 739 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: extremely violent because the hits were crazier probably back in 740 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: the day. You know, some of the hits of guys 741 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: running down the sideline on a go route in a 742 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: safety coming across the middle. I mean in the two 743 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: thousands and really the majority of football eighties, nineties and 744 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: two thousand's you man, I die. But I mean you 745 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: would get fucking destroyed, where once the hit happened, your 746 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: breath you just kind of like, is that guy alive? 747 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't honestly have those thoughts. We don't 748 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: really have as many of those anymore. I think we'd 749 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: all agree. But I went to a Seattle Niners game 750 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: last year and Seattle's the Niners defense was really good. 751 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: Seattle's defense statistically was not great. The violence in that 752 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: football game. I mean I was on the edge of 753 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: my seat every single play. Every hit was so physical. 754 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: I just and I was, I was. I was the 755 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: fifty yard line with a buddy. I've got to know. 756 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: He took me into a seat their sweet I mean, 757 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: a great view, and it was just Remember it was 758 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: a overtime Russell Wilson that keep game winning field goal. 759 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: But I'll never forget there had to be twenty five 760 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: plays where it's just it could the violence of the 761 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: collisions couldn't have been any stronger. And I listened this 762 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: week to Ryan Russilo had Willie Cologne. He played offensive 763 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: line obviously for the Steelers for a while and then 764 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: the Jets, and he talked about when he was for 765 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: the Steelers and they that that Ravens rival we really 766 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: took off. And he described it as like, you know, 767 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: some people that week, you know, got a little nervous, 768 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: and Rotillo basically asked him like, well, you know, it 769 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: was definitely wasn't you, And He's like, no, Actually, I 770 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: struggled to sleep that week because you knew when you 771 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: took the field that that other team was trying to 772 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: take your manhood away. And I that I love violent 773 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: football games. Watching the Steelers Titans game last weekend, like 774 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: that is NFL football to me. Every play I feel 775 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: like guys are getting crushed. And listen, I'm not expecting 776 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: these crazy headhunts. I don't even want that. I want 777 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: these guys to stay healthy. I want I want the 778 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: good players to stay on the field. But I love 779 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: violent football. You know, within the rules, you know physical hits. 780 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: And the reality is we've never had faster players in 781 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: the NFL. Right just watch the combine every year, the 782 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: amount of guys running four fowards. I used to work 783 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: in radio and Bill Romanowski was part of the radio station, 784 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: and I love Bill. I mean, I had a lot 785 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: of fun with the Bill he was. I mean, he's 786 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: a tough motherfucker. Right, he didn't miss the game. I 787 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,479 Speaker 1: think he held the record for like fifteen straight years. 788 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: If you put Bill Romanowski in a race right now 789 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: against like Dion Jones and Fred Warner, and I'm talking 790 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: Bill in the peak and just players like those guys 791 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: who run circles around him, just speed. Now that they're 792 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: not as big, the guys are slower. And I used 793 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: this on my other podcast, Haybord Middlecoff, I used this example. 794 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: If I get into a Ford truck and I hit 795 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: you at forty miles an hour, or I get into 796 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: a Honda Chord and I hit you at seventy five 797 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: miles an hour, Listen, I'm not like one of those guys. 798 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: Remember those seatbell commercials with the hair bags. I don't 799 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,320 Speaker 1: know the exact answer to this question. I know the 800 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: fort is gonna do a lot of damage, but I 801 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: damn I know for effect, going seventy five miles an 802 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: hour right India is gonna do a lot of damage. 803 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: That's why these guys hitting people running four fours. They 804 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: may wait fifteen pounds less than guys used to weigh, 805 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, twenty five years ago, but the guy running 806 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: for seven with more weight, like these collisions are equally 807 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: as painful. Like I went to three NFL games last year. 808 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: The violence in these games is high, and I I 809 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 1: can't wait for this weekend to watch the two violent games. 810 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: And obviously the Ravens and Steelers might not quite have 811 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: the cash it once had in its peak. And part 812 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: of that was just I mean, hall of famers everywhere, right, 813 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: Ed Reid Sugs, Ray Lewis, you know, uh, Troy, Paula Malu, Uh, 814 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: just some of you know Woodley and Joey Porter weren't 815 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: Hall of famers, but they're Hall of damn goods. You 816 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: would not want to play James Harrison some of those. 817 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: It was just that game was a blood bath. And 818 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: then when the Niners in Seattle got good and that 819 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: turned into Cam Chancellor, Michael Bennett, Bobby Wagner, Richard Sherman, 820 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, First, Willis Bowman, Navarro Bowman, Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, 821 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: bad guy, badass player. That that thing was just like 822 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: that game. It was a heavyweight fight. It was like 823 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: Mike Tyson versus Mike Tyson that if you didn't keep 824 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: your head on a swivel, you were getting kode. And 825 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: I think this Ravens Steeler game might not be the 826 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: peak of those games, but it's gonna be the verse. 827 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: It's gonna be the two thousand twenty version. Because I'll 828 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: tell you this, the Titans Steeler game, whenever I would 829 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: and I was doing some stuff like kind of had 830 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: it on in the back, there would be a like 831 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: a three or four play stretcher. I was like, God, 832 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 1: these guys are getting crushed and the Steelers bring it, 833 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: and you know the Ravens are gonna bring it because 834 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: hardball is a crazy s ob Tomlins a crazy. I mean, 835 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: they're perfect the whole thing. It's like Tomin and craz 836 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,319 Speaker 1: and hardba a little nuts. Their teams, ethos, the franchises 837 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: are a little nuts, and they both have just some 838 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: some physical players. I think the Steelers a little more physical, 839 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: but the Ravens run game is completely physical. So I 840 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch that football game and to 841 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: watch the violence on the field. Now, I don't know 842 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: Seattle with Jamal Adams out, which is kind of weird, 843 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: Like Pete, what's going on with Jamal Adams? Does he 844 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: have a sports TERNI is he coming back this season? 845 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: If Jamal Adams was in this game, I'd be like, 846 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: let's buckle up. And obviously Sherman's out, so there are 847 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: some players missing. But I didn't know beside Clowney last 848 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: year when I went to watch Seattle on Monday Night, 849 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: that many guys like Bobby Wagner's not quite what he 850 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: once was. The Griffin Twins, you know, are just okay, 851 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: but when they play the Niners, they fly around and 852 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 1: they hit people like it's two thousand and eleven, two twelve, 853 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: and I know the nine are still they don't have 854 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: as many players right now in the field, but they 855 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: are a very physical defense. So I think when you 856 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: know football, take some hits now, and I make fun 857 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: of it sometimes. You know, the Sunday night game against 858 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: Arizona and Seattle had a little big twelve field to it. 859 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for old school football. I'm a sucker 860 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: for every five yards is contested with dudes getting blasted, 861 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: and I think most football fans kind of are now. 862 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: I want to see points. I don't want a ten 863 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: seven final. I want a game in the twenties. But 864 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: I also just don't want to get first downs with ease, 865 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: like you should go three and out. Going three and 866 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: out doesn't mean you have a bad offense. It could 867 00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: just mean the defense it's fucking ready to bring it. 868 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: And they got great defensive coordinators. I like seeing high 869 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: level coaching on both sides. And I think the winner 870 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: of these two games, obviously the Steelers Ravens game. Whoever 871 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: wins that game is gonna be viewing themselves. I mean, 872 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: the Steelers win they're gonna go listen, we're the best 873 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: team in the FC. Bring on the Chiefs, and if 874 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: Seattle wins, they'll be six and one feeling damn good. 875 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: If the Niners win, they'll be five and three and 876 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: being like, you know what, you guys thought we were 877 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: done after we lost to the Eagles and the Dolphins 878 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: were back, baby. Because one thing the Niners do a 879 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: little like the Ravens and the Steelers is very physical operation. 880 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: And physicality travels in the NFL because you can play 881 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: in the rain, you can play in the snow, you 882 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: can play in the playoffs. It's like if you've got 883 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: a big knockout punch. You know, I went to cal 884 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: Poli where Chuck late Dal went to school and the 885 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: peak of his powers. Like, you didn't want to step 886 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: in the ring with Chuck la Dal because if he 887 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 1: caught you in the chin, you were going to the mat. 888 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: And it ship will always travel. It's why soft teams. 889 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: It's want my question on Seattle, but Seattle will show 890 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 1: up this week week, the physical version of Seattle, just 891 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: because the Niners bring that out into them. The Ravens 892 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: and Steelers. I mean, I I don't know what you're 893 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: doing at ten am West Coast time. I know what 894 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm sitting on the couch and I'm watching 895 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: that bad boy. Okay, let's attack a little three for 896 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: the Money. And here's what's crazy. I had one stretch 897 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: early like week two and week three, where I made 898 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 1: a lot of money and I cashed out of my 899 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: my my gambling account for a couple grand. Other than that, 900 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: i've probably broke even I'm not following my own advice. 901 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing when I actually bet. 902 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: But if I just followed my own advice, I'm fifteen 903 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 1: and seven on these three for the Money picks. Uh. Obviously, 904 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 1: we've done three a week for seven weeks. I've given 905 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,439 Speaker 1: the I gave a bonus pick, I have another bonus pick, 906 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,720 Speaker 1: so we'll be at fifteen. We'll be at twenty six 907 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: bets at the end of this week, and right now 908 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: coming in, we're out of twenty two. I've won fifteen 909 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: of them. I've full disclosure. I've lost a lot more 910 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,479 Speaker 1: money than I ever made gambling. I'm hot right now. 911 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: Just if I just listen to myself, I'd be way up. 912 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: But let's start with this. I have a simple philosophy. 913 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier. Maybe I didn't mention it earlier. 914 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: I went on a talk show today and I gave this. 915 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 1: I've said this a couple of times on my other 916 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: podcasts and other people's shows, that if you give me 917 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: a rivalry game like Baltimore Pittsburgh and like San Francisco Seattle, 918 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: especially this year Corona, no fans, I am going to 919 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,240 Speaker 1: take the team that gets points because that's just good value, 920 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: you know. I I just think in this given year, 921 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: it's really good value. Now the Niners plus three missing 922 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel going to Seattle with fans up there, you know, 923 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: I'd say it would be really difficult. Even though Seattle's 924 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: missing Jamal Adams, they're missing Chris Carson. Now grant Seattle's 925 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 1: Mr Maal Adams for a couple of weeks, but Chris 926 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: Carson early on in Arizona game looks good. I mean, 927 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 1: Chris Carson's baller. Uh. I'm just going with the philosophy. 928 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: And I've taken the n Items I think the last 929 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: two weeks. I've taken him a bunch this year, but 930 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: if you can get them. I took him against the Rams. 931 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: I took him last week against the Patriots, and they've 932 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: obviously covered in one outright two weeks in a row. 933 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride them, and I think Kyle Shanahan, I 934 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 1: don't know if they necessarily win this game, but I 935 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be close. Now the Niners are gonna 936 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 1: start a rookie running back. I just think Kyle's a magician, 937 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: and I think his philosophy is gonna be pretty simple. 938 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna run it down their throat and keep Russell 939 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: Wilson off the field and try to keep the game 940 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: and then win the time of possession game. He's not 941 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 1: gonna get out in a shootout with Russell because he can't. 942 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the quarterback. He barely trust Jimmy Garoppolo 943 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: the throw right now. But if he can run it 944 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: down their throat and he uses wide receivers, hell, he'll 945 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: use Kittle, use check to run the football, control of 946 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: the clock. Seattle is one of the worst third down 947 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: defense in the league. I had a buddy in the NFL. 948 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: I text him earlier this week. I'm like, you've got 949 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: any good stats on Seattle's defense. He said they are 950 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 1: last in the league in plays allowed on defense and 951 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: a huge reason is because their third down defense is atrocious. 952 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: They don't rush the quarterback. You can really control the 953 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: ball like last week. One one issue Arizona has they 954 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: tried to get into a shootout with the with Seattle. 955 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: You don't get new shootout with Seattle. They have one 956 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: of the best Russell Wilson right now with twenty two 957 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns through whatever six games or seven games. What's the record? Yeah, 958 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,479 Speaker 1: I guess it's six games. They're they're five and one. 959 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,399 Speaker 1: I guess six games. Yeah, so that she's going into 960 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: a seventh game. His touchdown he has as many touchdowns 961 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: as Peyton Manning did the year that he threw fifty 962 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: five touchdowns through six games. Two. So they're they're on 963 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: pace four and Russell's on pace for a fifty plus 964 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: touchdown season. You have a fifty plus touchdown season, you 965 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: have a historic offense. Mahomes, Manning, Brady think about the 966 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: years they had those fifty touchdown seasons when the fucking 967 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: m v P And clearly I think we think Russell 968 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: is going to do that. But like you try to 969 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,479 Speaker 1: get into a shootout, like he will throw touchdowns. Tyler 970 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: Lockett leaves the league in touchdowns. DK Metcalf has five, 971 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: and I mean he had the one called back on 972 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: Sunday Night. Now, granted they guy held, but both those 973 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: guys are getting double digits. Hell, if you told me 974 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: right now, I'd say d K gets to eleven, Lockett 975 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: gets to like fourteen, Tyler Lockett. I I looked it 976 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: up this week because we did a big Niner Seattle. 977 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: Uh just kind of preview show on on Wednesday on 978 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: my other pod. And he has twenty five touchdowns the 979 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: last two and a half seasons. I know they always 980 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: say he's underrated. I think anyone listening, if you play 981 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 1: fantasy football, you know how good he is. But he 982 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: does not get the love as most players if they 983 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: would have had touchdowns through I think it was thirty 984 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: eight games. He is a dominant force. Maybe it's because 985 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: he's little, Maybe it's now because they have d K. 986 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because Russell is such a big star. I 987 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm taking the Niners plus three. I 988 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: can't wait for this game. I'm taking the same logic 989 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: with the Steelers games in Baltimore. I'm not up to 990 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,280 Speaker 1: my Corona fans. I'm pretty sure they don't have fans 991 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. I don't think that would impact me. I 992 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 1: just think I was dead wrong when I said last 993 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 1: year when Pittsburgh gave up a first round from make 994 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: of Fitzpatrick, I'm like, you guys are nuts. One of 995 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: the smartest things they've ever done. Kevin Colbert is just 996 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: clearly an elite GM. Their team is stacked, they have 997 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: unlimited offensive weapons to throw to. Now Baltimore is clearly good. 998 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: People think like you're a Lamar hater. No, I just 999 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: I think he's a really good player. I just don't 1000 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: think like he's what i'd want to try to win 1001 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: a super Bowl relative to the other stars of the league. 1002 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: Like I just I want my guy to be Russell Wilson, 1003 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes Rogers. You gotta throw to winning this league, and 1004 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 1: he when he's running the ball and then get a lead, 1005 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: they can beat you. They're not built to come from behind. 1006 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,399 Speaker 1: If the Ravens are gonna win this game, they have 1007 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: to have the lead. They're not come from behind on it. 1008 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: And I think, as we saw last week, Pittsburgh's defense 1009 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 1: Tennessee is good. Like if you had to rank the 1010 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: a f C, I think Kansas City would be one, 1011 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh be one A, Baltimore be two, and Titans would 1012 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: be like two A. And I think Titans fans would 1013 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: be like, how are you putting Baltimore ahead of us? 1014 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: We played him last year on the road and kicked 1015 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 1: the ship out of them. I'd be like, yeah, you 1016 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 1: got a point. But I think it's fair to say 1017 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,799 Speaker 1: all four of those teams are big time, and they 1018 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: all have you know, I don't really know if Kansas 1019 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: City has a major weakness. Pittsburgh would probably just be 1020 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: like Ben's age, uh, and they just lost Bush. The 1021 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: Ravens would be a legitimate passing game when the game 1022 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: gets tight, and the Titans, um, I don't think their 1023 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: corners are great, but I mean those teams are. That's 1024 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: that's twelve wins squads, and obviously the Chiefs like fourteen 1025 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 1: and defending Super Bowl champs. I'm just going to Steelers 1026 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: three and a half. Uh, just on the basic logic 1027 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: of this game is gonna be tight. I'm just I 1028 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: would take either team that's getting a huge, you know, 1029 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: more than a field goal. I just think that's that's 1030 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: the easy way to go. And then, speaking of the Titans, 1031 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: coming off. I mean, they got pushed around for a half, 1032 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 1: then they came storming back because they got a lot 1033 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: of character, They play really hard, they got a lot 1034 00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 1: of good players. They're playing the Cincinnati Bengals, who probably 1035 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: felt like they won that game against the Browns even 1036 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: though they lost. And I think the Cincinnati Bengals are 1037 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna have one of those probably two or three win 1038 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: seasons that they actually feel really good about because Burrows 1039 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: of Baller, they had their franchise quarterbacks, so really they 1040 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: just need to get other pieces. It wouldn't be the 1041 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: worst thing in the world if the Bengals ended up with, 1042 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 1: like somehow the first They probably couldn't end up with 1043 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: the first pick unless they lose out. But they have 1044 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: a tie, so it's not like they'd have be one 1045 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: in fifteen. They'd be one, fourteen and one. So if 1046 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: a team went one and fifteen, that team would bump 1047 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 1: ahead of them. But if they got the first or 1048 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 1: second pick and it was fields and obviously Trevor Lawrence, 1049 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: who just I read earlier to day, got Corona, uh 1050 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,399 Speaker 1: so what to see. I know they play Notre Dame 1051 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,319 Speaker 1: next week, that's a huge game. Might have to throw 1052 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: that down three for the money. I hope Trevor Lawrence 1053 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: is back for that game. That's that was one of 1054 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 1: the best games the season. Uh. But it's not like 1055 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,399 Speaker 1: Clemson probably doesn't have some star you also know you're 1056 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,720 Speaker 1: a big deal win. I think it was Gara Folo 1057 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: and rap sheet or tweeting that Trevor Lawrences Corona not 1058 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 1: not not like uh, you know Bruce Feldman or Pat 1059 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: Forty or the dudes that cover you know, college football. 1060 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: It's the NFL. And that's because these guys are already 1061 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, where do you think they get that information agents? Uh, 1062 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 1: but that's a little too inside football. But it's a 1063 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 1: real the game is already rigged, like those guys already 1064 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: have representation. Um, not that I give a ship, I 1065 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: don't care, but it's just let's just call a spade 1066 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: a spade. It's like Dabbles giving him that money or 1067 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean that that information, not money, that information. But 1068 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 1: Clemson clearly pays a premium, which again I don't judge. 1069 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: I would pay a premium too. It works. The Titans 1070 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: minus five and a half. I think the Titans kill Cincinnati. 1071 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: They're coming off a loss. They are really good they 1072 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: are eleven twelve win team. I think they're gonna win 1073 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,399 Speaker 1: that division. But this is the type team that they 1074 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: just manhandle. Joe Burrow has not He's covered every game 1075 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 1: except the push Week one. I think there's a game 1076 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 1: that they just lose by like ten points, and you 1077 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 1: know what, there's nothing wrong with that. Like it's just 1078 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: the Titans go in there, beat him. It's it's the 1079 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 1: one favorite I like. So I got the Niners plus three, 1080 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: I got the Steelers plus three and a half. I 1081 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 1: got the Titans minus five and a half. And then 1082 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: my bonus is this. When they played Week one, the 1083 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 1: Vikings and the Packers, the final score was forty three 1084 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: to thirty four. Now I didn't go to Harvard, but 1085 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: I can do a little math. That is seventy seven points, 1086 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: and where I do my gambling, the over under that 1087 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: I see is fifty one points. For the over under. 1088 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: I got it right in front of me, Minnesota Packers 1089 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,439 Speaker 1: line six. But the over under is fifty one. I'm 1090 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 1: hammering the over. They scored seventy seven points. Even if 1091 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 1: they don't sniff that number and they get to sixty, 1092 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: you cover with these So Niners plus three, Steelers plus 1093 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: three and a half Titans minus five and a half. 1094 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: Little bonus. Again, I'm fifteen and seven. Not not to brag, 1095 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 1: not like I'm betting on myself. I should. I may 1096 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 1: be winning Vikings Packers over fifty one points again week 1097 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 1: one they played forty three thirty four. That equals seventy seven. 1098 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 1: That would be twenty six points over the over the 1099 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,240 Speaker 1: mark right now. So I feel good about that. Okay, 1100 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,359 Speaker 1: let's bang out a couple of quick middle Coffe mail 1101 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 1: bad questions at John Middlecoff. Is the Instagram handle the 1102 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,240 Speaker 1: easiest way to get a hold of me? That's crazy. 1103 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 1: It's like you pull up Instagram, you never know what 1104 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: photo is gonna pull up. Uh. I can only speak 1105 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 1: for guys, but you know, I don't know, you know, 1106 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: sometimes we follow just a lot of different stuff going on. 1107 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: I remember when I used to sit in press boxes, 1108 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 1: either like the Niners or the Raiders, and you'd be 1109 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: below and you would open up the computer. If you 1110 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: pull up, you know, you open up Instagram and some 1111 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 1: like Naked Chick on the first You're like, oh my god, 1112 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 1: you got all these stiff media people behind you looking 1113 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,320 Speaker 1: at your Like what is this guy looking at porn. 1114 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it's just Instagram girl I went to 1115 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: high school with. You know, she just poses half naked 1116 00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 1: on the beach all the time. Uh hey, John, appreciate 1117 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,320 Speaker 1: the pot takes no problem. Two decades of being a 1118 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: pass fan, had a theory about the Patriots and why 1119 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: everyone always bags on Bill for being historically bad at 1120 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,279 Speaker 1: drafting offensive talent pieces. Was wondering your take on it. 1121 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: Could it be that Brady was both a blessing and 1122 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,360 Speaker 1: a curses the goat, and that he was an excellent 1123 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 1: quarterback and he was in the habit of elevating average 1124 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,839 Speaker 1: semi skilled players. Amundola Welker fell off the map when 1125 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: they left him, and the Patriots will LOLd into false 1126 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: reality of what's skilled enough looked like due to Tom 1127 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 1: because of being who he was, So that as age 1128 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 1: caused a slight decline from the thirties of the forties, 1129 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: they had a franchise that never adapted to what the 1130 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,280 Speaker 1: skilled player needed to be again. In short, did Brady's 1131 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,760 Speaker 1: greatness at the position overshadowed the need for an amazing 1132 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 1: or exceptional wide receiver for so long the Patriots as 1133 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,320 Speaker 1: a team forgot what it looks like in a draft. 1134 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,840 Speaker 1: Thanks for reading, Keep up the good work. So basically 1135 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: the sum up this question, you're saying, because Brady was 1136 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: so good, they didn't have a great feel for like drafting, 1137 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: even like a Keenan Allen, Davante Adams let alone, you know, 1138 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: an elite guy would look like I would say maybe, 1139 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 1: but if you look at Bell's history, he was never 1140 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: good at drafting wide receivers. My pushback, though, always is this, 1141 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 1: I think he won the a f C East. Correct 1142 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. I think it's eight straight times. 1143 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:27,240 Speaker 1: It might be seven. He went to nine Super Bowls 1144 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,800 Speaker 1: because they won six. I think he went to twelve 1145 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: conference championship games. That means every one of his first 1146 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,719 Speaker 1: round picks, I would think, I would say in the 1147 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 1: last decade has been between twenty nine and thirty two, 1148 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: beside obviously last year, which was in the mid twenties. 1149 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 1: But you know what else that means. That means every 1150 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 1: one of your second and third round picks are at 1151 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: the end of the round. He is. He never picked, 1152 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 1: not once in the last decade in the teams, and 1153 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,839 Speaker 1: that doesn't just affect the first round. I'm not trying 1154 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 1: to defend Bill has had some bad drafts, and I 1155 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 1: remember being in the league. He had a guy draft 1156 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 1: that I think my second year we didn't even have 1157 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: on the board, and the guy ended up being terrible 1158 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: in like the second or third round. So I mean, 1159 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,800 Speaker 1: he drafts weird guys. Maybe it's arrogance, maybe it's I 1160 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,240 Speaker 1: don't dispute he's the goat, but I think sometimes drafting, 1161 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I don't quite understand what 1162 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 1: he drafts for. Like the Steelers the Ravens, like they 1163 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: draft blue chip guys. Belichick like drafts different type players. 1164 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: You do need a lot of talent. Now, he also 1165 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: drafted talent over the years. Right, he drafted mccordy, He 1166 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,280 Speaker 1: drafted high Tower, He drafted Jamie Collins, He drafted Thuney, 1167 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,320 Speaker 1: the guard. This year, he drafted uh, the guy Cannon, 1168 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,359 Speaker 1: the guy who got cancer who's not playing this year, 1169 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. He drafted Gronkowski, drafted Hernandez, he drafted Edelman. Light. 1170 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 1: But you'd say that's a little bit of lock that 1171 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: he turned out to be that great, and probably a 1172 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,439 Speaker 1: benefit of Tom for sure. I don't think he knows 1173 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,359 Speaker 1: what a good wide receiver. Light looks like. I think 1174 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: that's fair, even though I do think he knows what 1175 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,120 Speaker 1: a good wide receiver looks like because he schemes against 1176 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 1: him sixteen times a year. His best attribute is like 1177 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: he takes away the best wide receiver, So he knows 1178 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 1: what Tyreek Kill, What Antonio Brown? What Davantae Adams, what 1179 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. He fucking plays against all these guys. I 1180 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: don't know why he can't draft the right one, but 1181 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 1: he definitely knows what they look like because he plays 1182 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 1: against him all season long, and he's a defensive guy. 1183 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I I don't really. I think 1184 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 1: you're kind of onto something. They definitely got away with 1185 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 1: more with Brady and Brady masks a lot, so did Bill, 1186 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 1: but I do think their talent misses on offense. For sure. 1187 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: Brady helped them make up for that, and ultimately Bill 1188 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 1: could figure out the defense and for the most part, 1189 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: right they've been good on defense for the last decade, 1190 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 1: but definitely the last six seven years when they won 1191 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,840 Speaker 1: three three more Super Bowls and went to another and 1192 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 1: lost to the to the Eagles. So I I just 1193 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I I the Nikkil Harry I 1194 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: like Nikil Harry and I think I think I'm pretty 1195 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 1: good at wide receivers. You know, I'm just just a 1196 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: media guy, former Scout businessman, now sits on my computer 1197 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,520 Speaker 1: and talks into a mike. But I was all over 1198 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 1: Davante Adams loved Juju Smith, Keenan Allen. I originally had 1199 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: a first kind of got talked out and moved him 1200 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 1: away later, but way later, I mean early third. I 1201 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: was right on that one peer pressure Young wrong on that. 1202 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't do peer pressure anymore. Um. Yeah, so I 1203 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's bizarre for sure. My question is 1204 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 1: for the mail bag is do you think the two 1205 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: thousand quarterback draft class is as good as the one 1206 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 1: that brought us Lamar, Josh Allen and Baker. I feel 1207 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 1: like Lawrence and Fields are obviously touted as high quality prospects, 1208 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 1: but this year is also full of guys like trade 1209 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: Lance that I feel could be good in a super 1210 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,160 Speaker 1: successful in the right situation. What are your thoughts? Also, 1211 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson from b YU looks really talented. Yeah, I 1212 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: think the top two guys could be really good. Obviously, 1213 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence tested positive for Corona missed this week. We'll see, 1214 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, they played Notre Dame next week, I would 1215 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: who knows, I don't even it's Thursday night. I can't 1216 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 1: even begin to speculate. There were some rumors that he 1217 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: might be back. That'd be a big game for him. 1218 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 1: But this, the rest of his games this year don't matter. 1219 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 1: He's going number one, Justin Fields is going number two 1220 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,440 Speaker 1: unless Trey Lancer Zack Wilson shoot up the board. But yeah, 1221 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: I think this year has a chance to be another 1222 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 1: elite quarterback draft. Here's what I know. There's never been 1223 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 1: a better time to find quarterbacks. The quarterbacks in college 1224 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,360 Speaker 1: football right now. It translates to the league because they're 1225 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 1: all there. Their offenses get coached by NFL coaches, steal 1226 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: the same offenses, it's all the same. It's it's never 1227 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: been easier. You know, it was really hard to do, 1228 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 1: like what Steve Young and Troy Aikman and Brett Farve 1229 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 1: and those guys were doing. Just watch football now. All 1230 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are making crazy plays. It definitely was not 1231 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 1: this easy twenty five years ago. And part of that 1232 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,560 Speaker 1: is you would get killed. I mean they would literally 1233 00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,480 Speaker 1: slam you on the ground. UFC style, like they're rampage 1234 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Jackson or something. You can't do that. I mean, Teddy 1235 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Bridgewater took a cheap shot tonight, you can immediately got 1236 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,960 Speaker 1: kicked out of the game. I think you any cheap 1237 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: shots growing up, if you're you know, my age or 1238 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: in your thirties, we saw like in the even in 1239 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:16,600 Speaker 1: the two thousand's, dudes who get crushed, I mean crushed, 1240 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 1: you get someone late, You're gone, You're kicked out of 1241 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,439 Speaker 1: the game. It's just guys, don't do it because there's 1242 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 1: too much. It's just say, it's just it's obviously safer. 1243 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 1: I guess it's just you're not as worried. I mean, 1244 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 1: I think if you played in the nineties, you're super 1245 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: locked into the game plan and trying to make plays. 1246 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: But you're also like if you're a quarterback, always looking 1247 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 1: out of the corner of your eyes, like someone gonna 1248 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: kill me, Like literally, someone gonna snap my leg or 1249 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: slamming into the ground. They can't do that now. But overall, yeah, 1250 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm with you. This quarterback class looks pretty good. I 1251 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: believe the Packers need an inside linebacker a lot more 1252 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 1: than any other potent wide receiver. Do you think there's 1253 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 1: any impact inside the linebackers the Packers could add before 1254 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 1: the trade trade line to show up their interior defense. Well, 1255 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 1: if the Falcons, I trade a second round pick for 1256 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 1: one of their guys, they have those two linebackers can fly. 1257 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 1: I like those guys. Could you get Dion Jones? Would 1258 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 1: they trade you that? Would you trade a first round pick? 1259 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 1: Maybe not first? Would give him a second round pick 1260 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: for that guy? Because I think about it, the Vikings, 1261 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: they wouldn't trade him to you Texans? Uh? I think 1262 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 1: they have what's his name as a kid from Mississippi State. Yeah, 1263 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean probably not. Linebackers, like legit, starting middle linebackers 1264 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 1: don't get traded dbs. Wide receivers get traded the deadline, 1265 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 1: maybe a pass rusher, but a middle linebacker usually does not. Hey, 1266 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 1: John Mexican fan of the Three and Out podcast, appreciate it, 1267 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Tony quick question, what a move from Matt Ryan to 1268 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys work sending DAC to Atlanta? Thanks for the content. Yeah, 1269 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean watching Matt Ryan and I he looks shot. 1270 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I mean he's a free agent, so that's 1271 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 1: that's not happening. Okay, last question, I know you always 1272 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,840 Speaker 1: talked about how Vance Joseph is one of the worst 1273 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,520 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators in the league. I'm a Cowboys fan, and 1274 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,439 Speaker 1: I think Mike Nolan has stolen that. By the way, 1275 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I'd probably agree. Was Joseph mixing up the blitzes last 1276 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: night and disguising who was rushing actually impressive, like the 1277 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 1: broadcaster said, or was it more of a bad game 1278 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 1: from Russell Wilson collins Worth talked about he was reinvented football. 1279 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: I think Vance did a really good job in that 1280 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:31,960 Speaker 1: game of showing crazy looks. It is a little Bolt 1281 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: Todd Bowls like they got back to kind of the 1282 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 1: Arizona routs when they were really good. You put like 1283 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,040 Speaker 1: seven guys in the line of scrimmage and you've got 1284 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,600 Speaker 1: no clue or who's coming. And when Buddha Baker's is 1285 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: the guy that's coming and you're only rushing three other 1286 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 1: guys and they and they kind of like, uh, you know, 1287 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: move the line to the other side, you know, and 1288 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: they changed the protection and Buddhist coming free like that 1289 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 1: is to me a Todd Bowles special and he was 1290 01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,200 Speaker 1: really good in terms of that. Now, the kid like 1291 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons has been a bust. And when I say 1292 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: a bus like, I don't mean he's like, you can't 1293 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,920 Speaker 1: be a bust halfway through a rookie year. What I 1294 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: mean is he's been terrible. He struggled to get on 1295 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: the field. And I had friends and this is I'm 1296 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 1: not putting this on Vance Joseph. I had friends tell 1297 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: me he was the most overrated prospect they remember in 1298 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: like the last decade, because the media was all blowing 1299 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 1: him like he was a top five player. I had 1300 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 1: friends that thought, like he's a third rounder because he 1301 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,919 Speaker 1: doesn't have a position. Now. He made a really nice 1302 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: play in that game, that pick he made where he 1303 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: dropped back in his own coverage and he looked huge 1304 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 1: and he picked Russell off. But he hasn't been playing 1305 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 1: snaps on defense the last couple of games. He doesn't 1306 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: get on the field, and it's not like like they 1307 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,680 Speaker 1: have a bad defense. So if Vance Joseph can get 1308 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: him going and work him, I'll give him a lot 1309 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 1: of respect. Because my friends in the scouting community did 1310 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: not like Isaiah Simmons. Media loved him, my friends don't, 1311 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 1: and I talked to a lot of people with Super 1312 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,400 Speaker 1: Bowl rings. So I've just my friends know what they're doing. 1313 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,080 Speaker 1: And I don't claim to be the end all be 1314 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 1: all because I just kind of watched him, probably like 1315 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,320 Speaker 1: most of you on TV at Clemson. I was like, 1316 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,800 Speaker 1: I think he looks pretty sweet, but he's not a 1317 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 1: mindle linebacker because he's not physical enough. And then he's 1318 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,200 Speaker 1: not a safety because he's not fluid enough in space. 1319 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,920 Speaker 1: So he's just kind of this hybrid player. And with 1320 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,560 Speaker 1: a hybrid player, the reason he's not playing is because 1321 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 1: it does take a really a talented defensive coordinator like 1322 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker is not a hybrid player. He's a physical safety. 1323 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: They can play in space and Russia like Buddha Baker 1324 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: play in any scheme. Buddha Baker's just a baller. I mean, 1325 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 1: that guy's just good. Isaiah Simmons is not, and they've 1326 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,440 Speaker 1: struggled to use them part. Why does their defense suck? Well, 1327 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. They just took a top ten you 1328 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 1: know in theory, dude from Clemson can't get on the field. 1329 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,959 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't that reflect the defensive coordinator. Now he's 1330 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:51,880 Speaker 1: not picking the players, that's the GM. But like now 1331 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 1: you could argue, well, John, you just said you thought 1332 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 1: he was overrated. Well I do. I mean, I don't 1333 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,760 Speaker 1: think he's that good. But if Vance Joseph is some wizard, 1334 01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,640 Speaker 1: he'd figure out a way to use them. I think 1335 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Van this is the final score. What was the final score? 1336 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: Thirty five, thirty four. I mean the score was in 1337 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 1: the mid thirties. It's not like there was no defense 1338 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 1: being played. So we made a couple of plays, like 1339 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 1: blitzing Russell, but it was seventeen like going into the 1340 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I mean, Seattle was scoring with ease. You 1341 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: know a lot of people like you. You regret what 1342 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: you said about Vans Joseph just because you win the game. 1343 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 1: If you're the defensive coordinator and you you give up 1344 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 1: a ton of yards and points, like your jobs to 1345 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 1: not give up points in yards, that's your role. Appreciate 1346 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,200 Speaker 1: everyone listening. Three Out Podcasts.
