So John Middlecoff, 32 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: the former NFL scout, got the three and Out podcast. 33 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: At the volume, we're going to talk about the Bears 34 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: move with the Panthers. I cannot believe the Bears not 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: only got the picks, but DJ Moore, a wide receiver. 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: I cannot believe that he is a really he's a 37 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: number one. So the Bears now have a legitimate receiving 38 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: corps and don't have to pay a lot of attention 39 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: to that with all their extra draft picks. We're going 40 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: to talk about, obviously, the Lamar Jackson situation, Aaron Rodgers 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: potentially to the Jets, the Rams giving away Jalen Ramsey, 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: and what appears to be a cash dump right before 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: free agency that leads me to believe the Rams are 44 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: eyeing somebody in free agency. A lot of stuff going on. 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: John middlecoff as all was full of insight. Let's go 46 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: to it here with my main man, Colin Coward. Right 47 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: as free agency, let's face it. I mean, it really 48 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: kind of starts at the combine when they're not supposed 49 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: to t for all the deals are done, but over 50 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: the next three or four days the madness is. I mean, 51 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: it's already started with the couple trades that happen over 52 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: the weekend. But I think it's time to buckle up here, Colin. Yeah, 53 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: the Jalen Ramsey move, a third and basically a bust 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: tied end from the Dolphins who does doesn't play much. 55 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: Is that's not nearly I'm not sure why they were 56 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: so impatient. It feels like a salary dump. They're trying 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: to clear something up to make a big move in 58 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: free agency. That's it. That's what it felt like to me. Now, 59 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: I don't think Jalen Ramsey's ever been a guy you 60 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: build a culture around at Florida State, Jacksonville or LA. 61 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: He's just really talented. But I think the guys that 62 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: you build a culture around, like Aaron Donald Are Cooper 63 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: cup are harder to get rid of. Talent comes and goes, 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: and so I think Jayalen's really talented. He's he had 65 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: a very good last game with the Rams and interception. 66 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure if it was the best 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: place for the Dolphin to spend money. They already have 68 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: a corner people like, but their secondary's not very strong. 69 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: They're all in, yeah, But but for the Rams, it 70 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: just felt like they're starting over. You know, they've got 71 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: four sevens, four or fives. They now have a second, 72 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: two thirds. They don't have a first or a fourth yet, 73 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: so they got twelve draft picks. They're kind of rebuilding 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: this puppy. Before we dive into my theory on the 75 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: Dolphins and why, I think I think this might be 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: leading to something. One thing on McVeigh is, you know, 77 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: the knock on Gruden over his ten year as coaching, 78 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: was very impatient. You know, changes on you fast. Lebron 79 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: has some of that, and you know he loves a 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: guy that he starts playing with him any sours on him, 81 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: and like, I don't have the theory that they're going 82 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: to tank because McVeigh almost jumped off a bridge last 83 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: year losing a little bit. He's not going to coach 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: a season and suck and he's too good to ever 85 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: probably get the top two or three picks, especially next 86 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: year with the with the quarterbacks. But you know he 87 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: loved Matt Stafford to years ago. They traded for him, 88 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: then they extend him. Now he's banged up and it 89 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: feels like, oh they might trade him or that they 90 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: would definitely listen to it. Well, so he was good 91 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: enough to give all this money too, and a year 92 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: later things get weird. I'm Sean McVeigh guy, but it 93 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: does feel he's got a little grudin in him that 94 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: he'll change on you fast once he thinks you're not 95 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: as good as he maybe thought six months previously. So 96 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: I was told a month ago and I have set 97 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: it on the air at Fox. I was told a 98 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: month ago that the Rams were gonna go heavy this 99 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: offseason to the offense. McVeigh would come back if there 100 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: was a commitment to I'm an offensive coach. The league's 101 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: pivoted to that. Give me guys. So who did they 102 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: get rid of? Bobby Wagner, Jayalen, Ramsey, Floyd. They've moved 103 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: off defensive guys. So they're gonna draft. They have a 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: second two thirds. They're probably gonna go after an offensive lineman, 105 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. They may go out for a running back. 106 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Mcphay's like, listen, if I'm going to come back for 107 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: this thing and have to face the Niners, you gotta 108 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: get me some weapons. You gotta get me some on 109 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: the offensive side. I mean, of all the people in 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: the Ramsey trade, they got like a third string tight end. 111 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: You know, I thought I would have thought they would 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: have gone to a backup edge because they don't really 113 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: have an edge rusher. But you know, I listen, McVeigh 114 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: had a lot of success early. People that do off 115 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: and get impatient, they haven't had the long road, the 116 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: struggle like the rest of us, right, so you know, 117 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: I get it. You probably see that in tech. You 118 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: see it in football that you probably see it in 119 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: Hollywood when somebody hits it at twenty eight, thirty two 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: years old. Man, your standards and impatience rise. The Dolphins 121 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: I think over the weekend or maybe late last week, 122 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: they picked up two a fifth year option. I thought 123 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: that was nuts, you know, given his risk history. But 124 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: then when they made this trade, I was like, well, 125 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: I think you had mentioned last week and it's come 126 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: out since you know the Brady buzz is not going 127 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: to die. Well, what did they do? They get Vick Fanji, 128 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: They add Jalen Ramsey. They kind of had their backup 129 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: plan long term, just keep two under contract. Tom Brady 130 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: and coming to San Jose. It's just not happening, right, 131 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: But Miami, he's already he's getting the taste of the 132 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: life in Florida now for a couple of years, the 133 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: no state income tax. I think the Dolphins buzz is 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: about to pick up, and they're equipped. I mean now 135 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: that their defense was a question mark boom at a 136 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: star corner. You know, add Vic Fangio. I mean that's 137 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: this team. You see that that clip of Tyreek Hill 138 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: running dusting those guys in the in the six eight 139 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: meter dash. So you're the one that I think I 140 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: saw a clip of you saying that the Tom Brady thing, Well, 141 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: people are it's not gonna die. Yeah, I mean, okay, 142 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: so Tom, it's not like you know, he's single now, 143 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: so he's gonna He's not gonna broadcast at Fox. He's 144 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: gonna sit around for a year, just watch football. Tom's connected, 145 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: Um And I just think, you know, people say, oh, 146 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: you spend more time with your family. Kids after a 147 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: while don't want to hang out with mom and dad. 148 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: They want to hang out with their kids, their peers. Right. 149 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: So I think Brady um hill step he work six 150 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: months a year. I mean he gets six months with 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: his family, I know. And whenever you hear you know, 152 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go spend time with my family. It's like, 153 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, guys get off days even in the season. 154 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: You know you're not You're not at the facility all day. 155 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: So I think if you have a popular player Tebow 156 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: in Denver and they brought in Peyton Manning, you gotta 157 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: go big. Nobody's gonna question Brady fills in for Tua 158 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: or Peyton Manning for Tebow, because Tua will have success 159 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: with Mike McDaniels. Hell, he was leading in the Pro 160 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: Bowl voting last year, right, So I don't know what's 161 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna happen with Tom Brady. I don't have it sourced, 162 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: but I did have somebody I trust out of the building, 163 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: not a Fox employee, say he may play football, So 164 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: you know it was somebody who's smart, somebody I've trusted 165 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: for years. So he obviously heard it somewhere. But I 166 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: said this a year ago, and I'll say it again. 167 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: I thought Aaron Rodgers in Miami made sense. I really did. Again. Yeah, 168 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: a big star because TWA's got his fans too, was 169 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: going to have success. Nobody's complaining about Rodgers or Brady 170 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: in Miami, and I think sometimes when you replace a 171 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: popular I mean, let's face it, last year, up until Thanksgiving, 172 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: the Dolphins were one of the better stories in the league. 173 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah they really were speaking of Not a good story 174 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: last year was obviously the Aaron Rodgers and the Packers 175 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: who underachieved and missed the playoffs. Feels inevitable that Vide 176 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: ends up on the Jets. My overall take is one 177 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: they don't really have any other options. Jimmy Garoppolo gets 178 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: hurt all the time. Derek Carr signed with the Saints. Yeah, 179 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: the guy they drafted number two overall. He just stinks 180 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: he's just not any good. So as we're recording this, 181 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: we don't know the parameters of the trade. Clearly they 182 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: already had figured out something. They even let him talk. 183 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: If they don't have to give up a first round pick. 184 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's one of the easiest deals 185 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: they'll ever do. Yeah, I think Aaron. You know, the 186 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: Jets would be better with Aaron. But if I'm Aaron 187 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: Rodgers and I line everything up, what matters to me? 188 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: Coach Matt Lafleur, offensive coach or Robert Solid defensive coach, 189 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: check packers, offensive line, check packers. Weapons Well, Bruce Hall's talented, 190 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: but he's often injury. Aaron Jones emerging star at wide receiver, 191 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: capable tight ends the power back behind Aaron Jones. It's 192 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: like weapons. Probably slight lean Green Bay, familiarity, Green Bay, 193 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: ease of division and conference check check green Bay, green Bay. 194 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: This site. I don't know where the advantages are. I've 195 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: got impulsive ownership, a coach, a defensive coach on the 196 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: hot seat. They still have to their offensive line had 197 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: some injuries last year, So I don't think it's it's 198 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: not the Giants, right. If the Jets have some talent, 199 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: they'll get it back. It'll be healthier. But you know 200 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: they're counting on a lot of young players, you know, 201 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: and it's just Green Bay's got some familiar faces. I 202 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: know everybody has already got a pencil. Then it's the Jets. 203 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: But I could see Aaron just saying, I'm coming back 204 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: for one more year and then I'm retiring. I'm going 205 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: to Green Bay. The one thing with the Jets is 206 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: last year, you know, he loves his older players and 207 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: it took a while for Watson to get going. It 208 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: took a while, you know. Just this team is full 209 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: of young offensive weapons. So is Aaron going to show 210 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: up in April? Is he gonna come to OTAs? Am 211 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: I paying your sixty million dollars? Can you mesh with 212 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: my guys? Can you kind of be a member here 213 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: and not kind of isolate yourself. That would be something 214 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure that they have, you know, reached out because 215 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 1: you can't make this trade. If he's just going to 216 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: show up July twenty eighth, I'm gonna start training camp right, Yeah, 217 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: and I just I think they'd be good. Colin though, 218 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: if he is all in, I mean he won back 219 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: to back MVP's. This team israel talented. You're right, the 220 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: head coach major question mark. But the head coach has 221 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the offense, and the offense is 222 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: his guy. Now can that guy coach the offense? It's 223 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: it's hard to know. You know it rocky with Nathaniel Hackett, 224 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: but that is you know, a driving forces relationship with 225 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, I mean, but you're gonna have a 226 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: lot of firepower in Miami Mac Jones. Nett has Bill O'Brien, 227 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: best defensive coaching Bill O'Brien. Buffalo is still a pretty 228 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: stack roster outside of offensive line. So you don't get 229 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: the Bears twice, you know, you don't get it's you know, 230 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: I like Detroit, but Detroit didn't make the playoffs either, 231 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: so you know, and I we're pinning a lot of 232 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: our hopes on Ben Johnson. You know, a coordinator, I 233 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: don't know. I think if I was Aaron, I would 234 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: just stick it out with Green Bay one more year. 235 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: No owner, I got control of the place. Familiarity. Christian 236 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: Watson at the end of the year was really emerging 237 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: as a star with the NFL season. Over all, eyes 238 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: in the sporting world turned everything from the NBA to 239 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: college hoops to the NHL.

One thing 252 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: that happened last week was the Giants spending a lot 253 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: of money on Daniel Jones and Night Listen. I lived 254 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: in Philly and you've been in the Northeast. The pressure 255 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: in Boston, in New York and Philadelphia is difficult, So 256 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: having guys that can handle that Daniel Jones has this 257 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: like Alex Smith like quality of just pretty mentally tough, 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: pretty through fifteen touchdowns last year, and they gave him 259 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: eighty two million dollars. Now, I get you want to 260 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: retain him and the best thing is to franchise Saquon 261 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: Barkley because you want sake one there, But you don't 262 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: you know, you would love to just go year to 263 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: year running backs, even on the franchise tag ten million 264 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: dollars To take that all day long. I just have 265 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: a hard time thinking that he was going to sniff 266 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: that money on the open market. Who are they bidding against? 267 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Spat price point? Because in a salary cap league, you're 268 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: guaranteed money impacts how you build your team over a 269 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: couple of years. I thought it was insane. I remember 270 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: having a discussion with an agent. I had left ESPN 271 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: and John Skipper, who's a nice guy, but he was 272 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: paying people seven figures and there were a handful of people, 273 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: and I remember talking to an agent and saying, who 274 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: is he bidding against? These are like hosts. They're capable, 275 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: but they're not like seven figure people. And John was 276 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: just handing out contracts. If you take out two games 277 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: against the worst rated defense in the league, Minnesota. Look 278 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: at Daniel Joe numbers and you can say, well, he 279 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: doesn't work with much Patrick Mahomes with three cast off 280 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: receivers and rookie sky Moore had fifteen touchdown passes by 281 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: week five. Daniel Jones just isn't that talented. So you know, 282 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: whatever the number comes out to, and it's always kind 283 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: of fuzzy math. I think it's in the thirties somewhere, 284 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: thirty six, thirty two, whatever it is, it's still at 285 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: some point is going to limit. They're gonna have to 286 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: get on draft picks. You know, you're not going to 287 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: be able to go out and get two or three 288 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: offensive player. They have to rebuild the receiving corps, they 289 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: need a tight end, and they have to rebuild outside 290 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: of left tackle, the old line. There's a lot, and 291 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: you can't depend on the draft to fill all those needs. 292 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: You gotta pay for some of it. Well. Part of 293 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: having a star offensive coach, which it looks like they have, 294 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: is you can get value at certain positions, and you 295 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: should be able to find quarterbacks of value. Obviously, if 296 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: you get to Mahomes or whatever, it makes sense even 297 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: for Andy Reid to give a lot of money, But 298 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: Brian Daboll's value is to get guys like Daniel Jones 299 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: to overachieve. Why then pay him, Because again, eighty two 300 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: million dollars, he got ten million dollars more than Derek Carr, 301 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: whose resumes aren't even close to comparable. Right, I thought 302 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: the Saints got an incredible deal. So I was just 303 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: watching before his press conference. They got a grown up 304 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: in the room, a guy who's now coming off a 305 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: rough season, so he's going to be motivated if he 306 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: had been a free agent after the year that they 307 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: had made the playoffs two years ago. He's getting well 308 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: over one hundred million dollars right that season that he 309 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: played what he handled with all the adversity. And look 310 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: at that division. I mean it looks like Baker Mayfield 311 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: might go to Tampa. Panthers have no quarterback. Whoever they 312 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: draft probably is going to take the league by storm. 313 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean that division is I feel the Saints are 314 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: borderline like lock playoff team next year. Yeah, and going 315 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: back defense is good. Yeah, going back to Daniel Jones 316 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: is when people complain about offensive lines. Justin Herbert walked 317 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: into this league and behind the thirty second rated offensive line, 318 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: had thirty one touchdown passes, and was told he was 319 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: starting five minutes before the game. Remember that opening game 320 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Tons of pressure, so you can't use 321 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: If you have great talent, you can play Joe Burrow. 322 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: Year two got to a super Bowl or year three 323 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: got to a super Bowl with an awful offensive line. 324 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear about Daniel Jones and 325 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: about offensive line and they say, well, they don't have 326 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: great weapons, you know again, Guys like Mahomes this year 327 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: tasted offs Juju, Smith Schuster tasted off the Packers guy 328 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: passed off Sky Moore, rookie Tony who was considered you know, 329 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: yeah so and he made it work. Great quarterbacks make 330 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: it work. So I think what's happening in Chicago, although 331 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: I do think Justin Fields is more of a there's 332 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: some real talent there that's non infreciable. But I think 333 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones there's not any wow there for me, 334 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: not a wow arm. He's a big guy that can move, 335 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: but it's not Lamar moving, it's not Kyler m I 336 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: just I just don't see the wow. There's no juice 337 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: to me. I think he's got a really good offensive coach. 338 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: Say Kwan Barkley went down in the first four or 339 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: five weeks. Worst case scenario, what does that offense look like? Yeah, 340 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: there's they're they're in major trouble. I think sometimes you 341 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: you know that that organization falls in love with humans, 342 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: and you know he's mentally tough. He handled the tough times, 343 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: but you eventually have to play the position. Let's see 344 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: what you want about Kirk Cousins. He can give me 345 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns a year. He can produce. Obviously Jalen's producing, 346 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: you know. And that's the thing, like I found pretty 347 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: laughable the reaction to the Lamar collusion. No one wants him. 348 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: Last year, to Shaun Watson was given two hundred and 349 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars and we all laughed at like that's 350 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: the most insane contract. Only one or two guys in 351 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: the league would do that. This guy wants that contract 352 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: and no one will touch it. Well, we just said 353 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: last year that that contract that he wants is moronic. 354 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: No one would do that. Right, good player, but under 355 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: no circumstances. If I owned a team or ran a team, 356 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: I would trade for the player. If I get him 357 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: for a normal quarterback contract, but I can't pay him 358 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: a guy who's been injured, and it's not he doesn't 359 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: guarantee me anything. He's got one playoff win. Well, yeah, 360 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean you want guaranteed money, You're not guaranteed to 361 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: play Sunday. Of his last twenty two games, he's missed 362 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: forty percent. He's missed ten. So nobody wants to say 363 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: this because it feels like you're taking a shot at 364 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: Lamar's mom. But he needs an agent. Agents do two things. 365 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: First of all, teams are now taking shots at Lamar 366 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: why because they don't he doesn't have an agent. You 367 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: would never take a shot at a star player because 368 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: he has an agent. And an agent represents lots and 369 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: lots of people, So you don't want to piss off 370 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: an agent because then he'll steer his clients against you 371 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: or away from you. But when you don't have an agent, 372 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: and I've had several of my career, they it's a vest. 373 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: It's a little bit like a protective vest. Is that 374 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: the agent keeps you out of the room with your 375 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: boss so it doesn't get emotional. The agent make sure 376 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: they say nice things about you. A good, powerful agent matters. 377 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: He's using his mom and reportedly now he's doing some 378 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: of it. You know, he's moved her off that. It's like, dude, 379 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: I got nope. You know if my mom represented me 380 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: or yours, did they get emotional? Were their sons? So 381 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: I think when he did that, you know, I tried 382 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: to tread lightly and be respectful. You can't have a 383 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: parent be your agent. Come on now. Charles Robinson wrote 384 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: a really good article where he got a lot of 385 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: unnamed people in the league, GMS and agents talking and 386 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: this point, well, listen, Mike mcglinchey's going to sign in 387 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: a couple of days. The owner just gives the GM 388 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: the thumbs up. But when you're doing a contract like 389 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: this two hundred plus million dollars guarantee, that's an owner 390 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: run deal, and these agents go right to the owner. 391 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: This is not the GM and the coach ultimately aren't 392 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: the final say on this one, right like they would 393 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: be with signing a wide receiver or this is the 394 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: biggest contract that team has ever given out in the 395 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: history of the league potentially, So that's coming from the 396 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: owner and he has no direct path to the owner. 397 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's if me and you owned 398 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: a condo for two hundred grand, we could figure out 399 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: how to sell it on our own. If we wanted 400 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: a two hundred million dollar piece of property, we'd probably 401 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: get some representation to help us out on the deal. 402 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: Right right, the amount of money that's on the line 403 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: is too enormous, Like he's a he's at a major disadvantage, 404 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: and the Ravens know it, and that's why they did 405 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: non exclusive tag. They go, we're not even gonna pay 406 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: as much, and we're not worried about people bidding for 407 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: your services because you don't really know what you're doing. 408 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: I also think the culture is so strong that between 409 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: the GM, the owner, the roster, the defense, the assistance, 410 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: there's kind of a feeling in Baltimore last year, I mean, shit, 411 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: they went toe to toe with the Bengals twice at 412 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: the end of the year with like third string guys, 413 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: and we're Cincinnati needed a miracle touchdown to win one 414 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: of those games. So I think they look at themselves 415 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: and think, you know, we're really at an a level 416 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: in terms of drafting and developing. If we have to 417 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: go get Max Duggan in the second round, or we 418 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: have to go get somebody we like, we will, So, 419 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean they've won a super Bowl with Joe Flacco, 420 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: Trent Dilfer. They gambled on Lamar Jackson to some degree. 421 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people's thought he wouldn't be great. 422 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: They've been able to find quarterbacks who others bailed on, 423 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: who are different, and they've got success with all of them. 424 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: So I always just sort of trust the Ravens to 425 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: figure it out. Like a ruer in life, you don't 426 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: have to always hire an expert. Hire smart people and 427 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: they'll figure out complex problems. Baltimore is really good at that. 428 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: Speaking of a team that's trying to find their identity, 429 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: that the big trade, that the draft trade that happened, 430 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: I guess would that have been Friday night? On the 431 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: Panther side, this feels like it's Dave Tepper written all 432 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: over it. He's a financial wheeler and dealer. He's getting bored, 433 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: he's getting tired of losing, because that's a lot to 434 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: give up Colin for this. Trevor Lawrence not in this draft, 435 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, and they've even it's been reported they don't 436 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: even know exactly who they're taking. Last time the Niners 437 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: try to do something like that. That's I would not 438 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: operate making a trade without the player that, you know, 439 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: just to figure out two or three guys. This is 440 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: one of those. You know, if Bryce Young hits, then 441 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: it looks like a brilliant move. But I thought Chicago 442 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: essentially solved. You know, people banged on the Chase Claypool move. 443 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: But now the receiving corps is Dj Moore, Cole Commet, 444 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: very capable young tight end, Darnell Mooney a solid two, 445 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: and Chase Claypool, so they don't really have to go 446 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: after a wide receiver in the draft. And they've got 447 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: multiple extra picks so they can attack the interior offensive. 448 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: They're gonna get McGlinchey the right tackle from the Niners. Yeah, 449 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: by you know, they drafted some offensive linemanast year. A 450 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: couple of them can play. You know, they could kind 451 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: of go solve their defense, so justin fields doesn't have 452 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: to be in shootouts. But I mean Cole Comet, Mooney, Claypool. 453 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: But Dj Moore was getting a thousand yards of season 454 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: with Kyle Allen, Darnald Baker Mayfield. I couldn't believe. I 455 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: understand given away first in two seconds throwing Dj Moore. 456 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: And by the way, so you draft a young quarterback, 457 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: you just lost your best receiver for him. I didn't 458 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: like that edition. At I would have given you a corner. 459 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: I'd have given you something. I would not have given 460 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: you your best I wouldn't if I'm Caroline, I'm not 461 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: giving you Dj Moore. They just extended him last year, 462 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: so he's under contract for the foreseeable future. I thought, 463 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: this is kudos to Ryan Pace because he can do 464 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: two things. One find out if fields can play now 465 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: he's got weapons, and if he can't, he has the 466 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: Panthers pick. They're probably not going to be great. And 467 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: if his team stinks, they'd have two high picks to 468 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: go up and get one of these quarterbacks next year 469 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: so that they're actually getting the best of both worlds. Yeah, 470 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: Ryan Poles, the kid and I did last year. He 471 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: got a corner and a safety to start. He got 472 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: a receiver of Vilas Jones out of Tennessee who played 473 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: at USC. I could have told him he can't track 474 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: the ball. He couldn't at USC could now track the ball. 475 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: So I still don't trust this organization to draft and 476 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: develop offensive players, but I do think what happens after 477 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: that trade, John is now we have clarity. There'll be 478 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: no more excuses. Their running backs are serviceable. Cole comits 479 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: a very nice, young, tied end. Now you have a 480 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: real grown up wide receiver group. They're going to pay 481 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: for a right tackle. Their offensive line last year rated fourteenth. 482 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't the Giants, it wasn't thirty second, it was fourteenth, 483 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: and they're going to upgrade it. So it's going to 484 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: be a reasonable offensive line. What it gives you, John, 485 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: now whatever Justin Fields does, this is the truth. He 486 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: has more than enough talent. Now you can't say he 487 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have this. This this Claypool, Mooney, DJ Moore are 488 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: three very nice professional wide receivers. See and I think 489 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: on the Panther side, I just wonder if if Tepper 490 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: gets involved on who they ultimately want to pick and 491 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: it's not the coach and not the general manager's decision. 492 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: I think Bryce Young is an elite player. He's just short, 493 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: which you know can be risky. But you know we've 494 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 1: seen him two years ago play. They played Georgia twice 495 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: in you know, a month and went toe to toe 496 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: with them with a defense full of eleven pros and 497 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: like first round pros. Yeah, but he's just he's just small. 498 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: And you know, Anthony Richardson, I was texting with Daniel 499 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: Jeremiah because Anthony richards I said, what round would those 500 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: guys have gone in when you first broke in the league. 501 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: Guys like Anthony Richardson and Will Levis who are just big, 502 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: physical guys, But you know, I have a long way 503 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: to go. He's like, those guys would have been mid 504 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: round picks. Now both of them are gonna go in 505 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: the top five. So this notion that that position it's 506 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: so nuanced, it's so hard. You can't just draft like 507 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: you can't a defensive tackle and hope he figures it 508 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: out because the time and time they don't and whoever 509 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: they pick has this enormous pressure. I've seen it with 510 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, all these picks, the whole trade. It just 511 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: hangs over you forever. If things don't go well, it's hard. Well, 512 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: the Colts I think should move up to three because 513 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: if somebody moves up in front of them, they're going 514 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: to get the fourth quarterback in an average quarterback draft. 515 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: That would worry me. Now again, there's Max Duggan's going 516 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: to be a second or a third round guy. And 517 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that think, you know, a 518 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: team like Indy could get him. I'll tell you this 519 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: about I had somebody text me on this inside the league. 520 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. So I said, you know, Will Levis's 521 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: family has some IVY League connections. He's a four point student. 522 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: He's big, thick kid, good arm. And somebody texts me 523 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: in the league and said, look how chiseled he is. 524 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: He said, name the great quarterbacks that are chiseled, they 525 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: don't exist. Is that when you get you ever go 526 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: you ever go to the gym and see a wait letter, 527 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: try to play basketball? How stick they are. There's no 528 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: fluidity to him, no fluidity. And and so this person said, 529 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: he is this is a danger sign. He's jacked, he's ripped, 530 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: and he comes off sometimes as a little bit stiff. 531 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: He doesn't come off as fluid. And he's strong. He's 532 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: a smart kid. But the Will Levis stuff is interesting 533 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: because you know there's so much of it. You like 534 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: IVY League family, huge arm. You know, his numbers look 535 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: like Eli Manning's out of old miss a non traditional 536 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: SEC quarterback who you know, like one seventeen games in 537 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: two years for a basketball school. It kind of feels eli. 538 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: But the person who texts me is just like, you know, 539 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: go look up the chiseled quarterbacks. It's like you see 540 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning with a tight shirt on. 541 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: They they're big, they got more of a chest. But 542 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: you don't see you don't see ripped guys. It's not 543 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: what you have to be looked. That's why ply On 544 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: Metrics and Brady. You've got to be loose. You've got 545 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: to be able to be flexible and move your feet, 546 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: move your hips, and Levis is just ripped and jacked. 547 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: Looking to get more out of the NBA season, Well, 548 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: now is the perfect time to download FanDuel, America's number 549 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: one sports book.

Well, 577 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: one story I heard years ago. Remember, there's a lot 578 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: of pressure when the Texans had the number one overall 579 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: pick to potentially take Blake Bortles. They ended up taking 580 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: Clowney and Bill O'Brien had got Bortles on the board 581 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: and just thought he was kind of a meathead, you know, 582 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: nice guy or whatever, but just not you know, Peyton man, 583 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: you weren't just going to draft the guy number one overall. 584 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: And obviously he won a couple of picks later and 585 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. And I've heard from some people 586 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: that Levis might have. Again this is all relative. I mean, 587 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: he's a high level guy, just some meathead football qualities, 588 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: which works in a lot of positions, you know, like 589 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: because they're you know in the weight room where Bryce Young. 590 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: You read some of these stories that he was like 591 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: a football savant. Yeah, and to me, if he was 592 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: six to three, there wouldn't even be a question. And 593 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: that's where C. J. Strout in that game against Georgia. 594 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: If he had been playing like that his entire career, 595 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: mobile you know, making plays behind the line of scrimmage 596 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: with his legs to then throw, I think he would 597 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: be kind of a no brainer one or two pick. 598 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: But I just know the way these gms think that 599 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: just the one game sample size is hard because that's 600 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: never how he played. He was just a pocket quarterback 601 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: and he played with you know, seven all pros on 602 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: the outside. Also, also outside of Michigan, Ohio State never 603 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: plays a conference opponent with even talent. Their wide receivers 604 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: are significantly open right in the SEC. As good as 605 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: Bam is, LSU, Georgia, they got the same dudes and 606 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: Texas A and M. Now you don't you may not 607 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: think joke couch. They got five star dudes everywhere. And 608 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: so when you you know, when you see a wide 609 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: receiver and you're in Bryce Young's hitting him, he's got 610 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: a Georgia first round corner up against him. You see 611 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot of these Ohio State highlights. These guys are 612 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: wide open. No CJ's accurate. Um, he had a good combine. 613 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean a ton to me, But he throws 614 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: a beautiful ball. He throws a beautiful ball in his hand. 615 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: But we've never had an Ohio State quarterback of note 616 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: in professional football in the history of the NFL. And 617 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: there's probably a reason is that they have so separated 618 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: and over the last several years because of a coach. 619 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: They have Brian Hartline, who maybe the best recruiting coach 620 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: in the country. They're getting like only five star guy 621 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: now that that's all they get at Ohios. It's become 622 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: the best wide receiving program in the country Alabama and 623 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State. So you're playing up against produce corners, Minnesota's corners, 624 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: Illinois corners outside of Michigan maybe at Penn State, Michigan 625 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: State's corners. So it is harder to evaluate. I said 626 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: this for years, It's like I didn't know how good, 627 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, tool was. I'm like, these got these you know, 628 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: even in the SEC they have like two the DeVante 629 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: Smith and they have all these first round guys. I'm like, 630 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: this is better than the Patriots. So but I just 631 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: think it was CJ. Stroud. There's a lot I like, 632 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: but I well, those there's a lot of easy throws. 633 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: If you're a Buckeye cornerback. Yeah. One other thing on 634 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: the draft. I haven't heard your thoughts on this guy 635 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: is an incredible talent. Jalen Carter the defensive tackle to Combine. Yeah. Yeah, 636 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: And I think most teams would have him ranked that 637 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: way too. He went to the Combine, had to leave, 638 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: check himself into jail, postponed, come back to the Combine 639 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: over a couple of people that died, and he was 640 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: clearly in another car right there, and no one ever 641 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: knew about that until that moment. I'm sorry Colin that 642 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 1: he had some other question marks. You're drafting the person 643 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: as much as the player. I went to the All 644 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: Pro team last year. There really weren't any low character 645 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: guys on the team. It is full of just Mahomes's 646 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: and Kelsey's and Bosa's and Freders and just pretty locked 647 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: and loaded guys. I'd have a hard time pulling the 648 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: trigger when you can't trust the human being. I don't 649 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: care how good a player he is. No, I think 650 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: it's a real thing. I think the sport asks so 651 00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: much of you physically, mentally, emotionally that it's a It's 652 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: a test. Football is a constant test of your character, 653 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: your soul, your communication. It's a complicated sport. You have 654 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: a real playbook. So I think football weeds out people 655 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: who aren't committed. You know, Jimmy Johnson still tells me 656 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: the number one thing he always looked for was just 657 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: football intelligence. Could you learn things quickly? Football? There's a 658 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: reason half the league is undrafted because those guys learn quick, 659 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: high character, good values, excellent teammates. They're not the most 660 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: physically gifted. I mean, can you imagine if the NBA 661 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: was half undrafted. I mean, hell, the NBA's mostly all 662 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,959 Speaker 1: top eighteen picks. It's a talent league. Football's different, john 663 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: It just it asks. It's such a pressurized one game 664 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: a week, physical, regulated level of violence, a playbook that 665 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: if you're not buttoned up, even guys who look like 666 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, who's just a little cocky Johnny Manziel, it 667 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: eats them up. And we also love it so much 668 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: more than any other domestic sport. It's like soccer. It's 669 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: like the English Premier League in the UK. The pressure 670 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 1: is so massive. You have a bad game, you don't 671 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: play until Sunday, you get nothing but ripped by your 672 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: local media for a week. It's not like the NBA. 673 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: You got a bad Sunday game Tuesday night in Denver, 674 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: you scored forty. Nobody cares. So the Jalen Carter stuff, 675 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: I think, I think your point's well taken. If you 676 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: start looking at the all pro teams, very few low 677 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: character guys last or make a difference in this league. 678 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: You know, this week I always thought, even when I 679 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: when I was in the NFL growing up, this literally 680 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: this week could be a little overrated because most great 681 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: players never hit free agency, and the ones that do 682 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: get franchise tag. But now the influx of all these young, 683 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: aggressive general managers, the cap has boomed, so the money 684 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: all these owners have cash. The trades are the curveball 685 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: these last couple of years, really probably last five or 686 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 1: six years, that have added an element to this this week, 687 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks that just hasn't been there, 688 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: you know before, because the NBA and baseball always was 689 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: heavy in trades, and football never truly was a lot 690 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: of draft trades, but just sweet players plug play that 691 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: was never that's become very very invoke and that's it's 692 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: already happening. Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Rodgers. But I wouldn't be 693 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: shocked if there are three or four that we don't 694 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: even know of. Last year had happened to we killed 695 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. Get buckle up because it's coming, John, This 696 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: used to be March Madness week. All you talked about Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 697 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: Friday was March Madness. If Aaron Rodgers tomorrow at noon 698 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: says I'm a jet, it will just bury March Madness 699 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: talk for three days. So yeah, one of the things 700 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: the NFL's always done is they realize it's a television 701 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: show and they treat it like it. They have manipulated 702 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: their schedule. They've gone after college basketball, they've gone after 703 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: the NBA. I've been saying this for years. If I 704 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: ran the NBA, I would start the season on the 705 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: Wednesday after Thanksgiving, so you can't compete with Thanksgiving weekend. 706 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: The college football that weekend is unbelievable. The NFL's unbelievable. 707 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: So Monday, guys like me, every talk show NFL, then 708 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Tuesday, NFL. Wednesday is just everybody's kind 709 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: of exhausted from Thursday. For everybody's exhausted from like four 710 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: days of heavy football Wednesdays start the NBA season, cut 711 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: twelve games out of it, and I think that would 712 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: be manipulating the schedule. That's essentially what the NFL has 713 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: been doing my entire sportscasting career, figuring out these little holes. 714 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: Free agency now is right smack dab, because as you 715 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: said earlier, these guys are all they're all on the 716 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: phone tonight and I think it starts tomorrow. You're legally 717 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: allowed to get on the phone. So Aaron Rodgers, clearly 718 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: the Jets are offering green Bay something because you know what, 719 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, the deal is not only in the works, 720 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: the structure is probably there because green Bay had to 721 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: allow the Jets to talk to him. So that Jets 722 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 1: and the Packers they've got the deal. The deal's done. 723 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: They're just waiting for Aaron to make up his mind. 724 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: And it behooves him to figure this out sooner than later, 725 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: because then the Jets can do other things. You know, Yeah, 726 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: I would expect him to be a Jet. Honestly, could 727 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: happen break tomorrow morning on your show, right this week, 728 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 1: probably before Wednesday, that we get some finality there. Who 729 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: do you like an NCAA tournament well, you know, I 730 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: try to watch the good teams. I've watched Gonzaga, Ucla, Kansas, 731 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: I watched Texas a couple of times. I've seen Duke. 732 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,399 Speaker 1: I think Duke's plan really good. So I've seen Duke 733 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 1: play five times, but it's all four or five were 734 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: at home, you know. I think Kansas bills self out 735 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: of the hospital Hans. I saw CBS was picking a 736 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 1: lot of upsets, like Mark Hat in the final four. 737 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I would go with heavy favorites. 738 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: This is a lad, this is a year without a 739 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: great team, and so what's going to happen. Take the 740 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: veteran coaches, Take Mark Few, take Bill Self, Take the 741 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: veteran coaches. Because there's not a huge gap in talent um, 742 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,479 Speaker 1: and so I'll lean on coaching. I think UCLA's coach 743 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: is really good. But I didn't see all year long. 744 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: I watched Duke a couple of weeks ago, and I 745 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, they got it. They got it kind 746 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: of cinched up. It looks pretty tight um. But I 747 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: think if you if you told me Kansas Duke that 748 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: kind of level team won it. I do think all 749 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: year long we heard that Gonzaga, it was kind of 750 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: an off year. I don't know. I watched them when 751 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,439 Speaker 1: their conference championship. I watched them Plans and Mary's good. 752 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: I watched it. I was like, I don't know, they 753 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: got a dominant player in Timmy. It's like, um, I 754 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: think it'll be mostly favorite twinning. I'm trying to think 755 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: of an upset Tennessee plays Louisiana. Everybody's told me that 756 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: Louisiana is gonna win that game. That's what all the 757 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: CBS experts said. You know, the Big Ten's got to 758 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: be pretty fired up. UCLA hoops is rolling, and USC's 759 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: got Lincoln Riley and they're treading up. I mean, it 760 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: couldn't have gotten much better timing for that conference. Kay, Listen, 761 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: if if if Oregon and Washington go to the Big Ten, 762 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: now they only get half a financial share, which would 763 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: still beat the Pac twelve, but if they go, you 764 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: could you know, I feel bad for the conference. I 765 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: really done. I think Oregon State's got one of the 766 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: best young coaches in the sport. You task excellent. Um. 767 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: I like what Jed Fish is doing at Arizona. It'll 768 00:41:52,600 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 1: just bump me out. It really will.
