Speaker 1: see your team in the World Series? If you live

74
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: start with the New York Jets. Jets, Jets Jets. I

75
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: guess I screwed that up, But you know what I meant.

76
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot going on. First and foremost,

77
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I saw a headline today twenty six million people watch

78
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: them play the Eagles, And I gotta be honest. I

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: was glued to my seat. That was three hours Niners Browns.

80
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Three hours of that game and then the Sunday night game.

81
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: Good day of football. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and that

82
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: game popped on TV. And one thing about the Jets

83
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: is I think they were proven right. You know, we

84
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: knew immediately last year when and I'm all for taking

85
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: big swings. I'm all for making massive trade, but not

86
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: every massive trade works. Not every big move you make

87
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: in business is gonna yield you a big ROI but

88
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: you have to be willing to take them. It's the

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: only way for growth, right, It's the only way in

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: football for success. You gotta be aggressive. And when you

91
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback and you have the opportunity to

92
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: trade for Aaron Rodgers, no brainer. I mean, it's the

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: easiest movie you'll ever make. I've supported it even to

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: this day. I completely understand why the Denver Broncos trade

95
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson. You do that, every team does it.

96
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: Never forget the Eagles wanted him. He would not wave

97
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: his no trade class. The Eagles could have easily had

98
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right now, they could find themselves in the debacle.

99
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: They got lucky because he said, no, I'm not gonna

100
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: play there. And one thing's pretty clear they're three and

101
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: three was Zach Wilson playing the overwhelming majority of their

102
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: season and that they got a chance to be a

103
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: playoff team, and the Aaron Rodgers buzz about him coming

104
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: back from this surgery clearly. I watched them with Robert

105
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Sala's press conference, and I've said this over and over,

106
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: when you're gonna go through tough times, I think the

107
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: personality of young people in twenty twenty three, it's easier

108
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: to be surrounded by a more positive person. Now, I'm

109
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: not saying being real some negativity and getting screamed at

110
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: every once once in a while in football isn't healthy,

111
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: but like it's easier to be around the Robert solid types.

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: I've seen it with Demiko for a couple of years.

113
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: Whether they sustain this or whether they kind of hit

114
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: the skids and end up winning five games, Dimiko's gonna

115
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: be positive. He's gonna be an uplifter. It's the opposite

116
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: as you see with Bill Belichick, a lot of negativity

117
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: in that building. I'll promise you see with Brian Dayball

118
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline, he is running hot, and I think

119
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: this Jets team I was wrong. And one of my

120
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: early takes in the season is when you go into

121
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: the year with Zach Wilson as your backup quarterback, that's

122
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: on you because when you acquire a thirty nine year

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: old quarterback who at any moment could get hurt, that's

124
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: just the nature of the sport, especially at that age.

125
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Your backup quarterback matters. And this was a guy that

126
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: you wanted to get rid of, but you held onto

127
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: because you hope that this guy could influence him and

128
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: ironically he kind of did. But then the moment he

129
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: gets hurt, he goes to LA and as Robert Sala said,

130
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: like part of being on injury reserve, there is a separation.

131
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: We want him here, we would take him here every

132
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: day of the week, but his rehabs there and the

133
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: doctor that he uses there. But as you saw last

134
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: week having him on the sideline, there's kind of a

135
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: belief in this team that they didn't quite have last year.

136
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Now relative to the division, to me, the Bills are

137
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: still the favorite, even with some of their question marks

138
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: on defense based on injuries and Miami listen if to

139
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: a play seventeen games. They're gonna win twelve easily with

140
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: that offense. I mean they're averaging eight yards of play.

141
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: But the Jets have a chance to be the third

142
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: team and make a wild card, especially we'll see. You know,

143
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers could lose any game they play. Obviously, the

144
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: injuries in the AFC North when it comes to, you know,

145
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: can Pittsburgh even score the Browns their quarterback situation, we'll see.

146
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't care how good their defense is, and it's

147
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: freaking awesome. The Ravens have a million injuries, but they

148
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: got Lamar Jackson, and obviously the Bengals are still working

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: some things out. But it's pretty wide open in the AFC,

150
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: especially if the Chargers are out. You know, the AFC

151
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: West and the AFC South, they're only getting one team,

152
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: so definitely going to be multiple teams from the East

153
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: and the North. And I think the Jets have at

154
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: least kept their playoff hopes alive. And that's all you

155
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: could ask for. After the dudes laying there on the

156
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: ground and listen, I find them an easy watch. The

157
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: defense is fun. It's a lot more fun than last year.

158
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: I'll promise you that. And I saw another story that

159
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: kind of went viral. When it comes to the Jets,

160
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: there's a big difference in the quote unquote media between

161
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: the people that write and then the people that talk

162
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: Slasher on TV. There is a journalistic element to sportswriters, right,

163
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: if you write for a newspaper, if forever you wrote

164
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: for a big conglomerate online, there's a journalistic element to

165
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: your craft. Right. When it comes to the audio medium,

166
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: whether it's radio now podcast, it's all about two things,

167
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: entertainment and money. And you could argue you could put

168
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: them in any order you want. I personally value one A,

169
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: one B the listener, the slash the consumer first, and

170
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: then one B the revenue. But it kind of goes

171
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: hand in hand. And McAfee said that he was paying Rogers,

172
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: and he's paid him well over a million dollars, and

173
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: Rogers obviously is one of the biggest guests in the

174
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: history of audio, at least in my life in terms

175
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: of what he means to the impact of an individual show,

176
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of guests like historically Coach you know,

177
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: forever Wfan would get the Yankees manager and I always

178
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: heard they paid him like half a million dollars and

179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: their rating share was huge. When I worked in radio,

180
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: we used to pay players on the Giants, on the

181
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Raiders and on the forty nine Ers to come on

182
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: the station. Now, some of them would be one hundred

183
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: dollars a hit, some of them would be five hundred

184
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: dollars a hit. But it wasn't guaranteed success. Just because

185
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: you'd have on Maurice Jones, Drew or Brandon Belt from

186
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: the Giants didn't mean your ratings went up. But if

187
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: you got the right guy and you got a good rapport,

188
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: it was must listen and it usually resonated. Like Aaron Rodgers,

189
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: which won is just a smart guy. He's good on

190
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: the medium because he can really talk. Then he has

191
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: a friendship with Pat so it's kind of a fun listen,

192
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: and then you factor in all the controversy and his

193
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: willingness to kind of talk some shit. So when I

194
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: saw this story and a lot of the bloggers slash

195
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: writers and really a lot of writers or essentially bloggers,

196
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, Internet writers, now I think we're kind of

197
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: taken back in this business. We pay to play. I

198
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: would gladly cut. I couldn't pay someone a million dollars,

199
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: but I could pay someone one hundred thousand dollars. If

200
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: I knew I would get the equivalent of what McAfee

201
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: got to this show, whether it was a coach or

202
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: whether it was a player, I wouldn't even hesitate, because

203
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: it's well worth it if you're gonna break news, if

204
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: you're willing to say shit. Part of what makes Rogers

205
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate guess is one he will break news when

206
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: news is broken about him. That place is the first

207
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: place he talks, and last, but not least, he's willing

208
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: to talk a lot of shit. He is very, very

209
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: entertaining most of these coaches, Like if I had on

210
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: Sean McVay or Dan Campbell or Kyle Shannon, Mike Vrabel,

211
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: just think of the young coaches on a weekly basis.

212
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: There is no chance during the season they talk a

213
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: lot of shit about their opponents or other players or

214
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: other coaches. It's not worth it for them to do it.

215
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: It would actually turn out even if they were fun

216
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: and it was fun natured, it wouldn't be as crazy

217
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: as what Rogers is bringing. Rogers is the ultimate guest.

218
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: And when McAfee said that he gladly cut him the check,

219
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: of course he would. That's this business. In television and

220
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: definitely in audio, you pay to play, and when you

221
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: get the right guess, it's a game changer. It's worth

222
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: every freaking penny forever. When Steve Young went on Canby

223
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: R in the Bay Area during the forty nine er season,

224
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: the needle was moved, no different than when Kyle Shanahan

225
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: goes on, or back in the day, when Bruce Bochie

226
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: goes on. Whoever's listening to this, whatever market you're in.

227
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger did it forever, Tom Brady did it forever. They

228
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: were paid to come on. That's the way this business works.

229
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: This isn't about journalism, it's about entertainment and about revenue.

230
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: So of course a writer wrote about it, kind of

231
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: being taken back that McAfee's paying to play. Of course

232
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: he is. That's why he's successful, and he would gladly

233
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: do it more for ten more versions of Aaron Rodgers.

234
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: It's very hard to find he's paying Nick Saban to

235
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: come on his show. I wouldn't take time out of

236
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: my day to watch that because Nick's not really gonna

237
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: say much. He's just not. But Aaron Rodgers will. And

238
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: for example, I watched today the twenty minutes. Aaron Rodgers

239
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: was there with him and AJ why it's very entertaining,

240
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: It's very good. When I was young, Dan Patrick used

241
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: to have on Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller and the

242
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: interviews were just incredible. Even younger Jim Rome used to

243
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: have on consistent guests like Mark Grace and I don't

244
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: even think at the time he was even paying them,

245
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: but it was incredible. Radio part of when you're listening

246
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: and you know this with a guest. It's why I

247
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: don't have on that many guests. I know some people

248
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, right but they're not gonna say anything.

249
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be pretty generic. You see a lot of

250
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: interviews that they do around the league, and it's like,

251
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: whatever you come for me, I'll try to entertain right now.

252
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: If I knew they would be good, I would gladly

253
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: pay them. I wouldn't even hesitate. And I was just

254
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: shocked to see how some people, and listen. A lot

255
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: of you guys listening don't know how it works, but

256
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: most radio stations in their major markets, like if you

257
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: have the Cubs and the Bears, you are paying for

258
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: their head coach, their manager and their players to come

259
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: on if it's a weekly basis. Now, if it's a

260
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: one off, probably not, they'll just come on. But weekly

261
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: guests are compensated for their time. Another thing, I saw

262
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Sports Business Journal broke some news today and there were

263
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: a couple things. Let's start with this. The coaching interviews

264
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL is something that's been long controversial. Right

265
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: when you can interview coaches and a lot of guys

266
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: that are still in the playoffs, but a lot of

267
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: the teams interviewing the coaches are done with their season

268
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: and they don't want to wait till the playoffs end

269
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: or the Super Bowl ends, And it's tough. And I've

270
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: always leaned to listen. Whether you're listening to this and

271
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: you're really ambitious, whether you work with really ambitious people,

272
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: it will not matter what any rule is when you're

273
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: allowed to interview, when you're allowed to leave a job

274
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: when your non compete ends. Ambitious people go getters, and

275
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: people that want more out of their profession will always

276
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: push the envelope. So even when you have rules you're

277
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: not allowed to interview. Because a huge part of this

278
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: is if I'm getting ready for a wild card game

279
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: or I'm getting ready for a divisional game. And I

280
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: think this is a very fair question to ask, how

281
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: can you put in enough time if we're playing the

282
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Eagles or we're playing the Bills and you're also interviewing

283
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: for three head coaching jobs. Well, it's just he would

284
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: be thinking about it no matter what. So whether he's

285
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: interviewing or whether he's not, he still would be dedicating

286
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: sometime to contacting people. Part of this is why you

287
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: have an agent. Now. I think you should either make

288
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: a universal rule nobody can interview till the week after

289
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: the championship game and that gap for the two week

290
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: gap for the Super Bowl, or there are no rules.

291
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: I find some of these arbitrary, like no one can

292
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: do an in person interview till after the divisional round.

293
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: So what about the coordinators that are in the championship games?

294
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: Like they are allowed to do it too, But also

295
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: they got a game to prepare for, so I think

296
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. Clearly,

297
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: teams get mad they're paying these coaches a ton of money,

298
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: and the head coach gets mad. But listen, it's business,

299
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Like the head coach is allowed to get mad. You're

300
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: making twelve million dollars and the guy that's making a

301
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: million dollars who has the opportunity to get a nine

302
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: million dollar job, you're getting mad at him for thinking

303
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: about that. You would too, and you were once in

304
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: that position. It's a very delicate situation. I understand the

305
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: arguments on both sides, but you never slow down ambition.

306
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: You never slow down the guy who is dead set

307
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: on trying to become a head coach. You never slow

308
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: down the guy that's dead set on being the highest

309
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: grossing sales guy. You never slow down the guy that

310
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: wants to be at the top of the org chart.

311
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: They are just driven and wired like that. And whether

312
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: you make a date, you push it back a week,

313
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: or you move it up three weeks, it's not gonna

314
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: change that guy's wiring. And I think coaching one, it's

315
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: a nomadic profession, so these guys are used to getting

316
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: hired and fired, and in a weird way, they're kind

317
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: of numb to it all, at least after a while.

318
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean, go to some of your favorite teams and

319
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: look at like your wide receiver coach, or your O

320
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: line coach, or your special teams coach, especially if they

321
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: are like sixty years old. They have moved I mean

322
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: potentially like twenty eighteen, nineteen times. It's the reason I

323
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: got out of the profession. I'm like, I'm a West

324
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: Coast guy. I don't want to keep moving around. I

325
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: don't want to go move to Arkansas and scout the

326
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: Southwest for somebody that does not interest me. I left Philly,

327
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: got moved back to the West Coast, and I just

328
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: saw so many people in this industry that were constantly

329
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: moving around. And listen, some people are numb to it.

330
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not afraid to move. Hell, I just did it.

331
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: But I remember at the time like I can't see

332
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: myself moving five different times and working for three different teams.

333
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: That's not something that got my juices falling. But for

334
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I saw it firsthand, it did.

335
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: Guys liked it. And I think when you see this

336
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: kind of pushback of the interview process, I don't think

337
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: it changes that much. You saw last year with Jonathan

338
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Gannon and the Cardinals having to give a pick, like

339
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: you know he wanted to be a head coach. I

340
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: don't blame him. I just saw in Paradise Value, dude

341
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: bought a ten million dollar house. Guess what, he ain't

342
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: buying a ten million dollar house. If he's a coordinator.

343
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman would want that, Sirianni would want that, Jeffrey

344
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: Lurie would want that. It's part of life. So I

345
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: think this is a story and making a lot of headlines.

346
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I really don't think it's gonna change that much. Besides, logistically,

347
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: he still can do the Zoom interviews. Right, So if

348
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: I'm doing a Zoom interview, how many people listening this

349
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: right now do zoom talks with people, whether through your job,

350
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: whether interviewing people, whether it's sales calls. What the hell's

351
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: the difference? Right? Obviously there is a difference being in

352
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: person with someone. But if you put yourself in a

353
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: situation where, let's just pick a number, you make one

354
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: hundred grand and you are gonna interview with someone for

355
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: a million dollars, Obviously, if it's an in person interview,

356
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: you would take that shit very seriously. But would you

357
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: take it that much less seriously if it was the

358
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: same You make one hundred grand, you're gonna get interviewing

359
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: for a million dollar job, and it's over Zoom. Because

360
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: I know for myself, I would take that very seriously.

361
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty freaking dialed. So this notion if I

362
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: can still talk to you online, even if I don't

363
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: even know all the rules, let's just pick a let's

364
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: just say they can only talk to you for two hours.

365
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm still taking those two hours very seriously. And if

366
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm a coach preparing for a playoff game, I'm still

367
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: finding time to study that team's roster, to study that

368
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: team's owner and their gentleman Andrew, to study some of

369
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: that team's game tape. I am whether I have to

370
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: stay up a couple hours, which might limit some of

371
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: my energy the following day. Welcome to life. I mean,

372
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of money on the line. Anytime there's

373
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money on the line, I don't care

374
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: what you do for a living, sell stocks, construction worker,

375
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: run hospitals. Envelopes are going to be pushed. So I

376
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think this is going to slow down much

377
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to kind of you know, coaches being

378
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: all in and listen. Once you get to professional football,

379
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: it's somewhat people laugh at it, like it's all about

380
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: the team. Well, kinda, you're leaking about your contract as

381
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: a coordinator that you're getting interviewed for this job, and

382
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: you're also getting interviewed for this job, so you're no

383
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: different than a player. Like everyone's somewhat out for themselves.

384
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: And it's a fine line of a balance, right cause

385
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: even in the pros, everyone is worried about their own business.

386
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: Right My as a player, my contract isn't really tied

387
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: to like five other players, it's just myself or myself

388
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: as a coach is kind of tied to other coach is.

389
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: But as an individual, if my team's doing shitty but

390
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: my offense is doing well, I can still have success.

391
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: So it's it's just a fine line. And now with

392
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: the amount of money that's on the line obviously for players,

393
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: but when you look at these coaching salaries, like I said,

394
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannont and maybe he's independently wealthy, but a ten

395
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: million dollar house in Paradise Valley and this is not

396
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: some big jay, you know, being resentful. I'm all for

397
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: go get it, man. I celebrate success on this show.

398
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: But the reason he's able to do that is because

399
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: his ambition wanting to be a head coach. And yeah,

400
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: so I think the NFL is going to keep trying

401
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: to tweak it. I just ultimately don't know if it

402
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: changes that much. And then the other thing is there

403
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: has been some talk about doing an international Super Bowl.

404
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's likely. I think it's a lock.

405
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked to see multiple spots internationally the

406
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: host super Bowls, right because ultimately the NFL, I saw

407
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: this year. I've been to two Super Bowl venues. When

408
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: I lived in the Bay Area, San Francisco, that would

409
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: have been seventeen when it would have been January February seventeen,

410
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos Carolina and then this year when it came

411
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: to Arizona. A huge part of it is just all

412
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: this shit going on around the city, right, But the

413
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: league makes all their money on the game based on

414
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: you watching it on television. Right, one hundred million people,

415
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: whatever the number is. That is the key. It's the

416
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: whole key to all these sports. How many people sit

417
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: on their couch and watch TV. It's the reason Adam

418
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: Silver right now is making a big day, big deal

419
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: about player participation. He didn't give a shit previously. He

420
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: might have, but he definitely wasn't gonna make it public

421
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: and he wasn't gonna make it a big deal. Now

422
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: they're writing up rules, doing fines. Why because in a

423
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: year they have to negotiate their media rights deal. And

424
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: who's paying big freight for the NBA If I don't

425
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: know the players are going to It's all about television.

426
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: The television is where you pay the bills. So if

427
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: I put the super Bowl, let's just hypothetically say in London,

428
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: and I'll just pick two random teams. The Bills play

429
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: the Rams. The league doesn't really care if a lot

430
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: of the fans are able, or Seattle or whoever are

431
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: able to make it over to London, whether you've got

432
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: a passport, or whether you can afford to go. They

433
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: don't give a shit as long as you sit there

434
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: on that Sunday when the Super Bowl is played and

435
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: watched and help account for one hundred million people. And

436
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: clearly the NFL is pretty bloodthirsty right now. It's been

437
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: pretty you know, all over the internet. I truly believe this.

438
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying it to try to be funny.

439
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: That was a fake fan on Sunday or Monday night.

440
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: I believe that was a fake fan. I don't believe

441
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: that was a real fan now is my conspiracy theory.

442
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: Why would they pay a fan? Is there some sort

443
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: of seeing Taylor Swift and the female demo and the excitement.

444
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I honestly don't even care why they

445
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: would do it. I'm looking forward to the athletic breaking

446
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: it down, doing some big Jay work and getting us

447
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: the information. But I don't believe that was a real fan,

448
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: And I do think the NFL will do anything when

449
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: it comes to money, and going to London, going to

450
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: Germany in a couple of weeks is all about expanding

451
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: the audience and finding more people to watch, because what

452
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: is eventually gonna happen? Right, all these games aren't just

453
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna be on Fox and CBS. I'm thirty nine years old,

454
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: when I'm sixty years old, do you think I'm just

455
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: gonna walk to my flat screen TV and turn on

456
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: Fox and CBS and see the NFL or more than

457
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: likely it's gonna be on Apple TV or Netflix or whoever? Right? Probably, Well,

458
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Well, if I'm in Germany or

459
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm in London, it's just as easy for me to

460
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: consume it as it is for John middlecoffin Scottsdale, or

461
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: you Billion Minnesota or James in Tampa. It's all the same.

462
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: So the time differences might be different, but in terms

463
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: of it's all on my TV. Anyone ever travel internationally.

464
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: I remember going to Europe for a month when I

465
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: was in college and wanting to watch like baseball games

466
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: or you know, the majors in golf, and you just

467
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: can't find it on TV, or it's very very difficult

468
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: to find on TV. Well, when it comes to streaming,

469
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: it ain't difficult. I can find whatever I want, whether

470
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: I'm in China or whether I'm in Florida. Now, obviously

471
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: China might have some restrictions, but you know what I mean,

472
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: I could be anywhere around the world and watch the

473
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: same thing on Netflix or Apple TV or Amazon Prime

474
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: as you sitting in the middle of America. The NFL

475
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: knows this, So to me, this international play isn't even

476
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: just a short term play. It's a big picture play,

477
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: because how are they gonna get that much bigger in America?

478
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: They're having twenty six million people watch Jets Eagles, which

479
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: is fucking massive in twenty twenty three, but the like

480
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: that that number in America is never going to forty

481
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: four million people maybe on a good year goes to thirty,

482
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: maybe on a down year goes to twenty two. But

483
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of in the realm of where it's gonna be.

484
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: But how do you get more people around the world

485
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: to watch you go there? And that's why they've been

486
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: going to Mexico, going to London, going to Germany, and

487
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: really more consistently. Like when I was a kid, I

488
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: remember the forty nine ers I think played in played

489
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: in Japan or Tokyo against the Falcons, if memory serves

490
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: me correct, it felt like a little more random back then.

491
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: Now it feels more consistent. They know they're onto something,

492
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: and uh, I think full pedal ahead and I would

493
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: expect one hundred percent next decade, International super Bowl. I

494
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: would expect the next time they announced Super Bowls. I

495
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: think it's definitely on the table for a limited time.

496
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: You can say forty percent on NFL Plus Premium annual

511
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,440

512
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: signs with the Eagles. They got a little injury signed

513
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: Julio crazy. Julio's thirty four. He feels like he's forty eight.

514
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, seven time pro bowler, practice squad, chance to

515
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: move up. Obviously, had an injury to the third wide receiver.

516
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: At least it would look pretty cool if you just

517
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: rolled out. I don't know, Julio has been a shell

518
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: of himself for years, but if you're just playing video games,

519
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, aj Brown, DeVante Smith, Jalen DeAndre Swift got

520
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: her on paper in theory, it sounds pretty cool this

521
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. I'm pretty excited for this Thursday night game.

522
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: I really am. I've watched a ton of the Saints.

523
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: As I said the other day, Derek car just hasn't

524
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: played well. He simply just has not played well, not

525
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: for the money they're paying him. I think this is

526
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the first time that ten plus million people

527
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: are all watching him play. He has been a very

528
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: polarizing player for the last half decade. With the Raiders,

529
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: everyone constantly kind of flown under the radar a little bit.

530
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: With the Saints. You don't fly into the radar when

531
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: you play one of these primetime games, even if it

532
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: is the streaming game. And Trevor Lawrence, who got banged

533
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: up at the end of the game. Full disclosure here,

534
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: have not watched much Jacks football. Have not mainly. I

535
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: guess they've played in a couple of London games. You know.

536
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: For me, it starts really early. I typically have watched

537
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: football so late. I'm just the Sunday morning game, especially

538
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: with the Jags. I didn't watch the Jags Bills. I

539
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't watch really last week Jags Colts. They were killing him.

540
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: I changed the channel or changed the four box to

541
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: another game. Am interested to watch? I said when the

542
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: season started, I thought they could be really good. I

543
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: thought they had a chance to be one of the

544
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: best offenses in the league. Now they got to keep

545
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: him healthy. But Calvin Ridley etn have the big game

546
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago against the Bills. You know,

547
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: with Doug it's a tough game for Carr. I'm fascinated

548
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: on this one. I really am. And last but not least,

549
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to hit on something a little segment we

550
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: call it's time for the week's player slash coach. I

551
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: thought might give almost almost anything to redo his game.

552
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Uber Eats. Love my friends at

553
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: uber eats, use them all the time. This one's a

554
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: new brainer for me because Dan Lanning. I like Dan Lanning.

555
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm impressed he's I would take Dan Lanning over Mario

556
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: crystal Ball every day of the week. Dan Lanning is

557
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: an upgrade. Mario is solid for Oregon. Mario got Oregon

558
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: kind of their swag back was recruiting big time. A

559
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: little limited as a coach, but had the program headed

560
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: in the right direction. But he clearly had a ceiling.

561
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning was a bold choice, but it's working out.

562
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: Team's really talented. He's a fiery guy. He's clearly a

563
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: smart guy. But like Brandon Staley, he constantly goes for it.

564
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: And I'll say this every single day that I ever

565
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: talk about football. I'm all for going for it. But

566
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: there is a time and a place, and sometimes when

567
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: you're playing in some of these big games, especially when

568
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: your defense is playing well, it's okay to punt. And

569
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: they had a chance against Washington to punt and make

570
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: him go eighty five ninety yards and they refused, and

571
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: then Pennix had to go half the field. The other thing,

572
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: when you don't punt at midfield and you go for

573
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: it and you don't get it, you not only get

574
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: them great field position, you invigorate and light up their sideline.

575
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: You give the people on their team hope and let's

576
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: face it, what's the most powerful thing in the world,

577
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: hope and energy. And that's immediately what Washington got. They

578
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: drove down the field in a couple of plays and

579
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Oregon lost. And I saw his explanation, and he's smart,

580
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: he's a good speaker. It's eloquent. He explained, it. Well,

581
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is back to back years. I had

582
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: a buddy who worked who works in the league as

583
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: a college director, was at the game. He said he

584
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: did the same shit last year when they lost back

585
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 1: to back years. He lost to Washington for being, in

586
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: my opinion, over aggressive. So that was this week's almost

587
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: almost Coach of the Week. And you can order almost

588
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: almost anything with Uber eats, the official on demand partner

589
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Order. Now, okay, let's bang out some

590
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: male bag questions. Extra note maybe for this weekend. The

591
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: Broncos and to fixing mail bags at John Middlecoff. This

592
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: is Jam, not me. The Broncos answer to fixing the

593
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson contract situation really hits them next year. And

594
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: as simple as this, find a trade partner that will

595
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: take on thirty three percent of his contract total in

596
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: exchange for a third round pick in each year of

597
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: the contract. It sounds crazy, but as a numbers guy,

598
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: it's only solution that makes sense for the next five

599
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: years the team you traded him to get your third

600
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: round pick, the sixty seven percent of the contract you

601
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: retain you spread over seven years as dead cap space.

602
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: It's creative solution. That needs to be in the conversation.

603
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, John from Canada, the problem and listen.

604
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: We can come up with creative solutions all day long.

605
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 1: Who wants Russell Wilson to be their quarterback? That to

606
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: me is the problem. So yeah, you can take them

607
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: in the third round picks. You're basically just buying third

608
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: round picks. But you don't want Russell Wilson to be

609
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback. I think that is kind of the elephant

610
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: in the room here. I don't know what else to say. Beside,

611
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think he has much value around the league.

612
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Assad It feels like Gary Jones told Dak fuck the podium,

613
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: slash press. There's a noticeable difference at the podium with

614
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Dak and I personally him here for it. It comes

615
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: off as more authentic instead of trying to always win

616
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: the podium regardless of wins and losses. And maybe that's

617
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: the edge that Dak needs. I've come from a place

618
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: forever bitter. Romo's tenure ended and Dak started the way

619
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: it did. I've accepted, and I'm usually the last to

620
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: give Dak his credit, but this time feels different. His demeanor,

621
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: everything about it yeah, maybe you're onto something. I don't

622
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: watch enough of Dak's press. I don't watch any of

623
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: them beside the snippets that come on my Twitter feed

624
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: or you know, ESPN or Fox or something, so you'd

625
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: know better than me. Probably obviously as a cowboy fan,

626
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: you know if he's dropping f bombs or got a

627
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: little edge to him. I think part of it. The

628
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: older you get, the less blanks you give. I really

629
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: think it's that simple. I was much more hesitant and

630
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: just thought about different stuff when I was twenty eight,

631
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: thirty three than I do now at thirty eight. Actually

632
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm thirty nine, so one year away from forty. Been

633
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: loving all the content. What are your thoughts on the

634
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. I'm torn between Campbell and McDaniel,

635
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: but Demiko is building a great case. If I had

636
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: to put money on somebody, I would guess Campbell Lions

637
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: should win twelve plus games. Well, McDaniel won nine last year, right,

638
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: so did Dan Campbell. I'm pretty sure I was Dolphins fan.

639
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, obviously Campbell did, so if both

640
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: of them win thirteen games, that's a four game improvement.

641
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: I saw stat today that Miami is averaging I think

642
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: eight yards of play. No one else in the league

643
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: is averaging over six, So I mean statistically he's the

644
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: as well. Uh could he split a vote a little

645
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: Steve McNair. Was it Steve McNair Peyton Manning that split

646
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: split the MVP? Brett fav Barry Sanders. Couldn't we do

647
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: that with Coach of the year. We're all too quick

648
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: to anoint Herbert as a top quarterback. He passes the

649
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: eye test with flying colors and has all the physical tools,

650
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: but I feel like he can never get over the hump.

651
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: He missed quite a few wide open throws against the

652
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys and did not look sharp off of a bye.

653
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Is it possible he's just a better version of Rivers?

654
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: Never forget when Rivers was young, he was viewed as

655
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback as well. So like those guys

656
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: are really good, you're gonna have bad nights. Said it

657
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: about Kayleb Williams. Kayla Williams had a really bad night.

658
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't make him a bad player. Justin Herbert was really

659
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: bad against the Cowboys, it doesn't diminish what he's done

660
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: over a two and a half year span. His statistics

661
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: speak for themselves. Any player with his statistics would have

662
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: won a lot more if his defense wasn't consistently awful.

663
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: So I'll defend him that way for sure. I find

664
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: it funny that so many respectable NFL voices thought Reich

665
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be anything but what he is right now,

666
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: which is one of the worst coaches in the league.

667
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: I've been a lifelong Colts fan, and it was clear

668
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: as day he's not a great offensive mine or a

669
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: good motivator. He just gave up play calling. I'm not

670
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: sure what he's even doing now because he's sure as

671
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: hell won't sparkling life into that franchise with his stone

672
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: face and poring attitude. Not really a question, but was curious,

673
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? One thing I heard about Frank

674
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 1: from people that have worked with him obviously high character,

675
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: great guy. People really really like him, but he's kind

676
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: of afraid to take a stance, and he's just a

677
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: major fence sitter. I've heard the same thing about George

678
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: Peyton the GM in Denver, and they've just most of

679
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: their career tried to fit in and obviously they're well

680
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: thought of in the NFL, but they're not, you know,

681
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of shit to him, and

682
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: I think you see that with Frank. Really good guy.

683
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: He ain't a one. And listen, this league is full

684
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: of guys that are twos, and there's nothing wrong with that.

685
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: You get paid seven figures to be twos. In the NFL.

686
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: There are some industries like if you work at a

687
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: deli and you're not the number one sandwich maker, you're

688
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: not gonna make much money in the NFL if you're

689
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: a coordinator or hell, even a quarterback coach. I mean

690
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: there are a quarterback coaches making eight to nine hundred grand.

691
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: So I Frank Reich, that whole organization, let's be real,

692
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: is a disaster. The ownership, the coaching staff, the talent

693
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: on the field. It ain't working. It simply is not working.

694
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: Think about trading and listen, I understand Christian was injured,

695
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: but watching Christian McCaffrey with the Niners, and obviously you

696
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: traded DJ Moore. He's been one of your better offensive players.

697
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the last twenty years. You know, Steve Smith,

698
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart, Christian McCaffrey not a quarterback. Obviously Cam's the best,

699
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, like that, you traded those two guys

700
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: for this little quarterback? Is it crazy to think the

701
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: Jets could win the division? Buffalo is very up and down,

702
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: and there was ever a defense that could slow down Miami,

703
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: it would be the Jets. Obviously, the Hinges on Zack

704
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: continue to improve, but the schedule for the Jets coming

705
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: up is much weaker. I think I was asked about

706
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: the Bills the other day and I said their offense

707
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: was off, and then a Bills fan hit me back

708
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: up and was like, John, they had had three straight

709
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: games of lighting up the scoreboard. It's true the Bills

710
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: game against stay Ball might have just been a little

711
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: former coordinator on former team crime. Right. Obviously, the Giants

712
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: had to throw the kitchen sink at them. They're having

713
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: a devastating year, and unlike the Panthers against the Dolphins,

714
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: they have enough talent a kitchen sink game to just

715
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: sustain it, even with their backup quarterback. But I think

716
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: it would be one of the upsets of the year

717
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: if this team won the division, you know, because it's

718
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: not just beating Miami, it's beating the other teams. Right.

719
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: The one thing Miami has is when they play a

720
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: random team they are going to fucking destroy them as

721
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: long as Tua is playing because their offensive weaponry is unstoppable.

722
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's hard against the Jets or the Bills.

723
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: But we saw against the Panthers. I mean, they could

724
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: sleep walk to thirty five points all of a sudden,

725
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they're gonna lose. No, thirty five nothing right?

726
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, they went on a thirty five zero run,

727
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: is what I meant. So I I would say, no,

728
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: I do think if they can just keep kind of

729
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: playing like they're playing, it's hard to win games consistently,

730
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: like the way that they just beat the Eagles. But yeah,

731
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: I think a wildcard would be in play for sure.

732
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: Middlecoff Today, the owners we talked about this earlier, are

733
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: voting on head coaching interviews taking place after the divisional round.

734
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: I've never liked coordinators in the playoffs, interviewing during the

735
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: most important time of the year. What are your thoughts

736
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: on this. Who are the biggest names out there targeted

737
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: for head coach openings this upcoming offseason. Well, we talked

738
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: about my thoughts on that earlier in the podcast. I

739
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: would say some names, clearly. Ben Johnson, the coordinator for

740
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: the Lions is gonna be interviewed by every head coaching opening.

741
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: I would say when you look at the forty nine

742
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: Ers and the Eagles, who are probably gonna have the

743
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: two best records in the NFC, I don't know. Maybe

744
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes, you know, I mean he interviewed last year

745
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: for Carolina. He's been a head coach while short lived

746
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: before well thought of, high level guy. You know, when

747
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: you look at the AFC, like who on the Bills, right,

748
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: You're like, well, their defense, well, the defensive coordinators are

749
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: head coach. Well, their offense is Ken Dortsony gonna get hired.

750
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: Hard to see that Miami. I mean the star of

751
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: that operation is Mike McDaniel and then their defensive coordinator.

752
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: Obviously their defense isn't good. But Vic Fangio is not

753
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a head coach. Patriots have nobody. Matt Cannada

754
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: ain't getting hired. I don't know. If it feels like

755
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: a great year, think how many coordinators have just been

756
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: hired several years? And then you know, to me, is

757
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: it Belichick? If Belichick and the Patriots part ways, I

758
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: think he's somewhere else next year. Given the picking a

759
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and to some extent other position players or even coaches.

760
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: Is a complex process and not an exact science. How

761
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: come gms and scouts still screw first round picks like

762
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Manziel, JaMarcus Trey Lance. We are now several

763
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: years of data showing that players with red flags over

764
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: character and other points like accuracy, decision making, or time

765
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: played in college rarely work. Keep up the great work.

766
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: This is from Alexandre in Austria. It's a long way

767
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: to come for a question. It's the quarterback position, and

768
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: when you're desperate, you do desperate things and you overlook

769
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: your rules. It's no different in dating, right, when you

770
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: haven't had a girlfriend in a while, you might overlook

771
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: some stuff to get some opanionship right, even if you

772
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: don't want to be serious, you'll do whatever it takes.

773
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: And I think that happens a lot with quarterback because

774
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot of times you'll stick to your other requirements

775
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: for your other positions, but you can convince yourself that

776
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,479
Speaker 1: this guy can be the guy for whatever reason, even

777
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: when he's not accurate like a Trey Lance, or he's

778
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: got character concerns like Johnny Manziel. You're so desperate to

779
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: try to hit a home run on that position, and

780
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: it's not gonna stop the other thing. And I was talking,

781
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: we had my girlfriend's mom came to stay with us.

782
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: We were talking last night, like how these quarterbacks missus.

783
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: And Maria calls Zach Wilson the karate kid because of this,

784
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: because of what he wears on his head. And we

785
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: talked about why you miss quarterbacks, and I said, I

786
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: don't think it just keeps getting back to this. You

787
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: are dealing with people in every other industry when you

788
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: invest forty fifty million dollars into another business to acquire something,

789
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty black white on a spreadsheet. Yet in football,

790
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: even if the measurables, he's six ' four, he's got

791
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: a good arm, he was accurate, he had good grades

792
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: in college. He's never been in trouble. You have no

793
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: clue how you're going to handle the pressure. And there

794
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: are intangible stuff that come with the NFL. The pressure,

795
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: the limelight, the money. Even if you're getting paid nil

796
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: in college, you get to paid a lot more in

797
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. There are just a lot more eyeballs on you.

798
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: It's way more intense. It's much more difficult. It's much

799
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: more difficult like that. That's think about a job that

800
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: you had that was kind of hard right in college,

801
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: doing something whatever. It may have been one of your

802
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: first quote unquote real jobs, and then think, especially if

803
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: you are thirty years old or thirty five or thirty six,

804
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: some of the jobs you've had since that may be

805
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: less physically demanding, but the decisions you have to make

806
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: are much more strenuous and are much more intense and

807
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: much more stress ridden. Like the more intensity stuff that happened.

808
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: Any weakness in your ability in your profession can make

809
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: you crack. We've all cracked before, right through stress, through

810
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: being overwhelmed. It's whether you're trying to run a car dealership,

811
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: whether you're trying to run a restaurant, or whether you're

812
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: trying to play quarterback. Even if you are talented, you

813
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: can crack under the pressure. Like I said, human beings

814
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: not widgets, And I think that's a huge reason. Like

815
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, I saw a lot of him over a

816
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: couple of year span in practice. Obviously, his accuracy was

817
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: much more in the forefront once he got to the

818
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: pros than he had issues in college. But then you

819
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: look back and you go, well, he didn't really play anybody.

820
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: But the problem is everyone starts talking about it. You're

821
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for one of the biggest brands in

822
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: the league who's trying to win a Super Bowl. Think

823
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: how hard it is and how much pressure is on

824
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: guys when your team sucks, like you felt it with

825
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. This year sucks and there's a ton of

826
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: pressure on the guy Mac Jones. It feels like they've

827
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: won two games in the last like two years, and

828
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: you can feel the pressure growing and mounting, and just

829
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: the intensity of it. All the coaches on you, the

830
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: fans are on you, the owners looking at you SIDEI

831
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: it's hard, man, I say it all the time. I

832
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: am much more comfortable talking shit about coaches because I

833
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: think it's much easier to work your way up to

834
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: become a coordinator and kind of fake it than it is.

835
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Like you don't fake it in the NFL. Now, maybe

836
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: you fake it in the sense of your production in

837
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: college wasn't going to translate, but you still had to

838
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: play at a high level. Like say what you want

839
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: about Mac Jones went to Alabama, started won a national championship.

840
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: Now it was the twenty twenty years team was loaded whatever.

841
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: Then once he got to the NFL, there's no hiding

842
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: like the talent around him relative to what he had

843
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: at Alabama isn't the same. But what he did getting

844
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: to the NFL is very is much more difficult than

845
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: what coaches have to do, and what coaches have to

846
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: do is hard harder to do as a player to

847
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: get there, and then it's even way harder to stay.

848
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: It's way harder to stay because unlike coaches, like your

849
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: friends can just keep rehiring you, which happens all the time, right,

850
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: and your agent can make shit happen. As a player,

851
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: once you start really sucking and not being able to play,

852
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: it's like bye bye, You're out of the league. My

853
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: question is what are your thoughts on international Super Bowl.

854
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: I know what's your sport and should be played in

855
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: your country, but if you're trying to grow the game worldwide,

856
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: why not give it to us. Well, we talked about

857
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: it early in the pod. Is coming Buckle up? I

858
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: mean I would bet the farm right now. I would

859
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: say in the next twenty years, assuming the NFL keeps

860
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: rolling the way they're rolling, we see multiple International Super Bowls.

861
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: It's a TV product, you know. The Super Bowl really

862
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: is just a week of parties and shit. You could

863
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: place it anywhere, Germany, London, you name it, you name

864
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: the country, right, Probably not going to China. You could

865
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 1: put it in I guess us. Really the time zone difference,

866
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: it would probably have to be some more London, all

867
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: the European countries, Mexico potentially. I love this show. I

868
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: keep seeing outside skill position players, wide receivers and corners

869
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: that have their mouthguards flopping around during the play. Don't

870
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: you think that is distracting for them? No, I don't.

871
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: I do not at all. I think some of these

872
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: guys it's almost like their version of swag. Now, listen,

873
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: I never played football past high school, but I couldn't

874
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: imagine tackling people in the NFL without a mouth guarden. Now,

875
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: some of these dbs, you know a lot of them

876
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: are avoiding contact, but I cannot imagine getting hit or hitting,

877
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: especially if I'm a defensive player, without having the mouth guarden.

878
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: But these guys are doing at the highest level and

879
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: they feel pretty good about it. Longtime listener love the

880
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: football and golf pods. Heading to Scotts Sale. This weekend,

881
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: looking for a course to play Sunday that isn't gonna

882
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: cost me an arm and A don't quite want to

883
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: pay the cost of Greyhawk or True North. Would much

884
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: rather something in the lower two hundreds or a little

885
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: over the two hundred range. Any recommendations. This is the

886
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: problem in Arizona. Come wintertime, all the snowbirds come back

887
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: and they start charging five six hundred dollars for the

888
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: public golf. So I would try to find places like Raven,

889
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: which is in Phoenix, maybe it's in Chandler. I think

890
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: I've played it a couple of times. Raven that that's

891
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: to me a pretty good deal. Raven and Whirlwind are

892
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: two places that you should be able to get under

893
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: the two hundred dollars mark. I saw Greyhawk, it's like

894
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars. I got TPC right now is close

895
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: to four hundred dollars because they're putting up all the

896
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 1: waste management stuff. So public golf here, man and listen

897
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: as someone who's talk shit's like this is insane. And

898
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: then the moment I joined TBC and I'm playing out

899
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: there all the time, it is packed. It's like people

900
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: are paying the prices it's crazy. It's really wild. Hey,

901
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: John pickfan of the pod, been a longtime listener. I'm

902
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 1: a lifetime Chiefs fan, and I'm going to the game

903
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: over in Frankfort. That's pretty cool. I've been trying to

904
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: find out information on tailgating and partying with other chief

905
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: and NFL fans without any luck. I was wondering if

906
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: you could point me in the right direction. What I

907
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: would do is I would follow. You know, look at

908
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: the chief social media. When's that game and it's not

909
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: this week, in two weeks. I would be shocked. If

910
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs don't tweet out, don't instagram out information of

911
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,479
Speaker 1: fan meetups, I would imagine as well the NFL does.

912
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I would just type it into Google. Fan

913
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: meetups in Germany Chiefs fans, I don't know how many

914
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: of you guys are going. I would guess it's not

915
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: like going to a Raider game or maybe get forty

916
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: thousand people there. But I do believe as someone i've

917
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: never gone to the international game, i'd be sto if

918
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: the franchise doesn't have some sort of fan engagement. Feels

919
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: like they always have that in London. I don't know

920
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: why they wouldn't have that in Germany, so I would honestly.

921
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: Just the other thing you could do is call the

922
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: season ticket holder you like the season ticket holder line,

923
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,959
Speaker 1: call someone with the Chiefs and they definitely could points

924
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I'm a big Eagles fan. I

925
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: know they miss Shane Styke, and clearly with their schedule

926
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: coming up, should the Eagles fans be worried? I feel

927
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: like the Jets game was the last chance for an

928
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: easy win for a long time. Although that defense is amazing,

929
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: Let's bring up the old schedule Eagles schedule. I think

930
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: you play Monday night here against someone good, Dolphin's Eagles.

931
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: This week's Sunday night. That is a great game. Then

932
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: in a week you play the Commanders at night or

933
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 1: not at night morning game in Washington. We know that's tough.

934
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: Then you get the cow at home, Then you get

935
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs off of by. Then you get the Bills,

936
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: then you get the forty nine Ers, then you get

937
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Then you go to Seattle. Damn you do

938
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: your last three games though, are Giants Cardinals, Giants? So

939
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: to me, Dolphins, Commanders, Cowboys. If you just split the

940
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys games, win the Commander game, win one of the

941
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs forty nine Ers Bills game. Well, you get the

942
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers and the Bills at home, you'll be fine.

943
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: To me, you're still winning thirteen games minimum. The concerning

944
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: part is as an offensive coordinator, it's a little bit

945
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 1: like a player. We used to say this about DB's

946
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: one thing I learned working in football. Two positions. To me,

947
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 1: instincts are just you either got them or you don't.

948
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: Running back instincts with running back, to me, is like

949
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: a non starter if you don't have it. In dB

950
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: and specifically corner, if you're not an instinctive player, you're

951
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna give up a ton of catches. Instinctive players no

952
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: one to turn their head around, no one to make playces.

953
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: It's very hard. I think we talk so much quarterbacks.

954
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: The hardest position I'd argue quarterback is or corner is

955
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: one b especially in this modern day where you can't

956
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: hit anybody, so none of these wide receivers are intimidated

957
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: and they're all fast as shit. So we talk about

958
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: instincts with players. I don't think we do it enough

959
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: with coaches and through I've watched the majority of your

960
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: snaps hell twenty six million people just watched you play

961
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: the Jets. It feels like Brian Johnson's not the very

962
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: instinctive play caller, like one thing, Shane Stiken had got.

963
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: This guy's just got a feel for it. McVeigh has it,

964
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: Shanny has it, obviously, Coach Reid has it. Peyton had

965
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: it forever with Drew Brees, Josh McDaniels always had it.

966
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: With Tom Brady. There was like an ebb and flow

967
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: to the place. There was a rhythm. There was like

968
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: a you know, a kidney punch, a kidney punch, a

969
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: right hook, a left jab, and you just didn't know

970
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: what was coming. With bad play callers, and Michael Lombardi

971
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: always does a good job describing this. It's like they're

972
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: playing battleship right. There's like, oh, l two are four,

973
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: and it's just they're just kind of guessing. They're just

974
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: throwing shit at the wall and see what happens. And

975
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, I say, listen, I'm not the biggest Sark

976
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: fan as a head coach, but he's a good play caller.

977
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: Lane's a good play caller. You see it in college.

978
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: Lincoln Forever in Oklahoma was a good play caller. Something's missing,

979
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: and that's what would concern me. The good thing is

980
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: for you guys, you have fucking freaky talent. And when

981
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: you're that talented, even a disaster, you're winning like twelve games.

982
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: Because think about this, Well, you just told me your

983
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: schedule is really hard, and it's true. But if I

984
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: just went through the Bills schedule, when you come up,

985
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: that's their hard game. When I go through the Cowboys

986
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: schedule or forty nine Ers fan, when you come up,

987
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: that's their hard game. So it goes both ways, right

988
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: like when you say the Cardinals. Every time the Cardinals

989
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: play the Niners or the Eagles, they're like, holy shit,

990
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: Yet the other team, you know, the Niners, the Eagles,

991
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: whoever go Yet we got the Cardinals this week. Easy win.

992
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: Love your podcast. Also, you've got to take care of

993
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: your eyes. Get some glasses. You're an adult now making

994
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: good money. Trust me, I'm not. I don't have glasses

995
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: because it's not I'm broke. I just go on glasses.

996
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: It's time to find an optometrist or an optalmologist and

997
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: see them yearly. Build a relationship with your doctor, and

998
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: get your eyes dilated. When you go. The dilation is crucial.

999
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: It's like sounds like my dad talk to me about

1000
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: how good the Cleveland Browns defense is this season. So far,

1001
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 1: it looks like they are in historic category for yards

1002
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: allowed per game. I'm talking purple Peter, purple people eater historic.

1003
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: I've seen the Niners physically shove everyone around. They've played

1004
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, and they usually hurt

1005
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: other people. And they played the Browns and their star

1006
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: players were all going to the sideline. McCaffrey was bloody

1007
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: everywhere and fucked up his oblique debo. It felt like

1008
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: last did a series and Trent. While a little freaky

1009
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: to me, sometimes when you're getting guys shoved on your back,

1010
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: part of that is defensive lineman shoving other offensive linemen.

1011
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: To me, the thing I loved about your defense is

1012
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: the physicality element because I know you guys got speed.

1013
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you got fantastic dbs and your defensive line

1014
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: is awesome. And then your athleticism at linebacker when you

1015
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: have and part of the problem last year, right was

1016
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: their linebackers aren't that big, so they didn't have beef

1017
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: above them, and they people just ran down their throat. Well,

1018
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: they've added girth so you can't throw on them. Because

1019
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: the corners are good, their defensive line now can stop

1020
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: the run, and then the athletic linebackers can tackle everything.

1021
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you guys got a chance to

1022
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: be unreal when your defense is awesome, and to be

1023
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: an awesome defense in the NFL, or just in college

1024
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, given the rules line of scrimmage

1025
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: LINUS scrimmage, LINUS scrimmage, you could have four Deon Sanders.

1026
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: If your d line sucks, I'm just running down your throat, right,

1027
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 1: But when you can dominate the point of attack, pass

1028
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: and run, you're in major trouble as an offense. And

1029
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers had no shot against them. Trent

1030
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: Williams limped back in the game and one of the

1031
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: reasons he said he did it because he felt like

1032
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: he was putting the backup in an awful spot given

1033
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: the opponent they were playing, Like how could they He's like,

1034
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't let the backup go in there against Miles

1035
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: Garrett because he was having a hard time and he's

1036
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: one of the best players of his generation. So yeah,

1037
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: I think you guys statistically speaks for itself. Record through

1038
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: six games eye test. I feel like the eye test

1039
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: is even better that forty nine er game was. You

1040
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: know what I appreciate about Cleveland is and the Bayar

1041
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: used to have this when the forty nine Ers played

1042
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: a candlestick and when the Raiders played at the Coliseum,

1043
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: there weren't suites there. I mean the Raiders had a couple,

1044
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: but they were so shitty. The stadiums were so bad

1045
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: and so decrepit. When you went to watch a game there,

1046
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: it was just about football. You went to just enjoy

1047
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: the event. When you go to some of these nicer

1048
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: stadiums like so Far or even Levi's or wherever, you're like,

1049
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: let's go to this lounge, let's go to this bar.

1050
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: Oh I'm at Allegiate, Let's go to the casino. It's

1051
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: about more than football. And there was just an old

1052
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: school feel to the eighties and nineties stadiums and they're terrible.

1053
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: And listen to Coliseum. Whenever the a'ies finally go to Vegas,

1054
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: I would nuke it. I would blow it to smithereens.

1055
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: But I've been to a lot of football games there

1056
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: and there's a purity to the product. You're just sitting

1057
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: in a shitty seat watching an NFL game. It's just

1058
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: very pure and honestly on TV. I've never been to

1059
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Stadium, and obviously the Cleveland stadium is not

1060
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't think as old as those, but you could

1061
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: hear people banging on the medal and at echoing. It

1062
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: felt like it was just about ball. It felt like

1063
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: it was just about the game and everyone there. It's

1064
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: obviously a blue collar, working man's town and they just

1065
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: love the freaking Browns, and it felt kind of collegiate.

1066
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: It really did. And you don't get that you watch

1067
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, which I love that stadium. You

1068
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: go there, but you go to the stadium, You're like, hey,

1069
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: what bar you want to go to? What club level

1070
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: you want to go to? It's like, we'll get back

1071
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: for the middle of the second quarter. At that Cleveland

1072
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: Niner game, it felt everyone knew what their responsibility was

1073
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: for that game, raining no one budged. I appreciate it.

1074
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: So I think the only question mark is, let's face it,

1075
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: it feels like something weird is going on with Deshaun Watson.

1076
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm expecting something to come out sometime soon, as I

1077
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: don't I haven't seen. I guess they have when I'm

1078
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: recording this on Tuesday, so we'll see if they practice tomorrow.

1079
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: Does he practice, does he miss another game? Do they

1080
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: think he's healthy and he's not playing. Does he think

1081
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: he's more hurt than he is. That that's usually where

1082
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: you get animosity on one side. It's like, hey, we're

1083
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: paying in all this money, are you healthy enough to play?

1084
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: We got no other options. We're rolling out a practice

1085
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,959
Speaker 1: squad player because he's better in our rookie. Like, hey man,

1086
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: we need you. We paid you for this team because

1087
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: if you're just solid, if you could just be like

1088
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, we can win the Super Bowl. Think about that.

1089
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: All they need him to be is solid. They don't

1090
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: need him to be twenty nineteen Deshaun Watson for the

1091
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. They don't need him to be Clemson Deshaun Watson.

1092
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: But if he's not playing that they are in trouble

1093
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: and they will struggle to win games. I don't care

1094
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: how great their defense is. You look at the Jets. Now,

1095
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: the Browns defense better than the Jets. But you know

1096
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I think that is the only

1097
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: story that I'm interested with the Browns because they have

1098
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: enough offensive talent. Clearly their defense is more than good

1099
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: enough to dominate the league. What's up with the quarterback?

1100
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: How hurt is his shoulder? Do they think he's more hurt?

1101
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: Do they think he's not as hurt? I don't know,

1102
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: and that's a story that I'm just I just got

1103
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: my spidery senses up for sure. Appreciate everyone listening. We

1104
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: back again tomorrow. What's Roar Baby? The volume
