Speaker 1: If you were Dan Campbell, what would you do?
Speaker 2: Well, all my coordinators left me. So what I would
Speaker 2: do is I would take that coffee order, Jules. I
Speaker 2: would triple it up. I think it's about what eight
Speaker 2: hundred milligrams of caffeine. I would skyrocket it to twenty
Speaker 2: four hundred milligrams and let that caffeine replace Johnson and Glenn,
Speaker 2: and now he can do the work of all three
Speaker 2: men through the power of coffee.
Speaker 1: You may have replaced Johnson and Glenn, but you also
Speaker 1: had a heart attack. Welcome to Dudes On Dudes. I'm
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman.
Speaker 2: And I'm Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 1: And this is the show where your favorite dudes get
Speaker 1: to talk about their favorite dudes.
Speaker 2: Well, Jules, what are we talking about today?
Speaker 1: What about Stefan Diggs to New England.
Speaker 2: New England needs a guy, They need wide receivers, they
Speaker 2: need a number one. Well, what about our thoughts on
Speaker 2: the new and returning stars of Netflix Quarterbacks series?
Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately, these shows all depend on the people
Speaker 1: that are participating in them. Like, how much Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: are you going to get?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need the real Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: Losing my wallet in Vancouver and the kind Canadians who
Speaker 1: returned it.
Speaker 2: And that's why we love our Canadians. A And we
Speaker 2: wrap it up by naming the Chillis Dude of the
Speaker 2: Week presented about Corus like.
Speaker 1: You gotta stick around to the end. Let's go.
Speaker 2: Dudes on. Dudes is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: What's been going on? Robert Toe Jules, How you do
Speaker 1: gosh off the Weekend?
Speaker 2: Yes we are, man. We were just together in Vancouver, Canada.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: We were doing a speaking gig up there. You went
Speaker 2: skiing and Whistler. I had to, you know, hop on
Speaker 2: a jet and come back home because it was my
Speaker 2: brother's bachelor party. He's getting married next month, so you know,
Speaker 2: I couldn't miss that, even though I wanted to go
Speaker 2: skiing with you, brother. But before we get into it,
Speaker 2: I got a little situation. I'm just wondering if this
Speaker 2: ever happened to you. So I woke up at like
Speaker 2: six am this morning feeling pretty good. You know, I
Speaker 2: had some spunk, you know, jumping out of bed, and
Speaker 2: then I was like, I got nothing to do. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go back to sleep, And I fell right back
Speaker 2: to sleep, and then I wake up like three hours
Speaker 2: later man, thinking like, oh, I'm gonna have so much
Speaker 2: more energy. You know, I just got nine hours of
Speaker 2: total sleep. Actually it was nine and a half, and
Speaker 2: like I feel heavy and like numb and slow, and
Speaker 2: I go to workout and like everything feels like a
Speaker 2: thousand pounds while I'm working out. Like you ever get
Speaker 2: that where you get too much sleep that it actually
Speaker 2: kind of like reverses against you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I do. But there's a couple other
Speaker 1: variables for your story. Rob Okay, all right, you flew
Speaker 1: from Tampa to Vancouver on Friday, yes, then Vancouver back
Speaker 1: to Tampa on Saturday, so you were in a plane
Speaker 1: for fucking fourteen hours. You went to a bachelor party.
Speaker 1: Now you could go and get fifty hours of sleep
Speaker 1: after that weekend, regardless if you were a good boy
Speaker 1: or not, you are gonna be tired on a Monday.
Speaker 1: So if that answers your question, that's how I feel.
Speaker 2: I didn't put those variables into play jeels, So I
Speaker 2: appreciate you laying that out.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean that hurts you. You know that
Speaker 1: especially you. You know you're you're very tight. You know,
Speaker 1: you're a big ass dude. I remember when we were
Speaker 1: flying together as a teammate. You know, like when you're
Speaker 1: up in those cabin pressures like it dehydrates you, and
Speaker 1: you're you're so fucking fine tuned as an athlete. You're
Speaker 1: backing stuff like Gronk would be doing fucking like core
Speaker 1: exercises on the plane and shit because he has to
Speaker 1: keep his back tight, you know. So flying's tough on you, bro,
Speaker 1: it's tough on me. I mean, I'm fucking like a
Speaker 1: little kid, but I can't. I gotta be sprawled out
Speaker 1: or my back. I can't walk for a two days
Speaker 1: if I you know, my walk, like if I'm in
Speaker 1: a plane. So how beautiful is Vancouver?
Speaker 2: I love Vancouver? Man. It would be even more beautiful
Speaker 2: if the sunshine just a little bit more. But when
Speaker 2: we got there, obviously it was cloudy and rainy in
Speaker 2: about fifty degrees. But man, what a city. What I
Speaker 2: love about that city is just how clean it is
Speaker 2: and just how safe it is too. We were just
Speaker 2: walking around ten pm at night, just cruising the city,
Speaker 2: walking by all the hotspots, wishing we were still twenty
Speaker 2: two years old, saying, oh, jeweles, you know, fifteen years
Speaker 2: ago we would be in that spot till four I am,
Speaker 2: and then we just keep walking. Yeah, Jewels, we would
Speaker 2: have been fifteen years ago, but just keep on walking, buddy.
Speaker 2: We haint we ain't twenty two years old no more.
Speaker 2: But if we were, we would have tore up that
Speaker 2: whole city and they wouldn't even know them what hit
Speaker 2: them after we were done with.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And city is very clean. The architectural
Speaker 1: like structures and buildings, like all the condos. If it's
Speaker 1: so beautiful, like you have the hills, it's like a
Speaker 1: big hill when you're walking in the city, and then
Speaker 1: it's surrounded on water. It's like almost like Manhattan where
Speaker 1: it's like an island because there's rivers on both sides
Speaker 1: and shit, and then the background you got mountains. And
Speaker 1: I drove up to Whistler and that was like one
Speaker 1: of the most beautiful drives I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: There's waterfalls on the side of the road. I felt
Speaker 1: like I was about to witness Vikings coming out of
Speaker 1: Scandinavia or something, because you see the mountain range on
Speaker 1: water and that's like ocean water, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is probably Viking town. Like this
Speaker 1: is like what it looked like in the vikings. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I had vikings in my head, but
Speaker 1: I have vikings in my head. It was like Whistler,
Speaker 1: unbelievable mountain. Actually lost my wallet on the mountain right,
Speaker 1: Canada being so clean and nice. I got my wallet back.
Speaker 1: They're sending it back right now to shout out to
Speaker 1: Whistler for finding my wallet and all the Patreons that
Speaker 1: were skiing that day, like what a fucking nice town.
Speaker 1: And the email I got or the tech message I got.
Speaker 1: I goes because I my wallet is usually just a
Speaker 1: rubber band with cash and my credit cards, and they go, uh,
Speaker 1: mister Edelman, we have found your wallet. They had five
Speaker 1: or four credit three credit cards, an ID, a triple
Speaker 1: A card, and a handsome amount of cash. I was like,
Speaker 1: take that half of that, take that cash and send
Speaker 1: my stuff back. Thank you guys, Like it was so
Speaker 1: so awesome. I had such a great time in Canada
Speaker 1: this weekend. Like when we were talking those people, it
Speaker 1: was a cool crowd too.
Speaker 2: What do you think that's Canadians for a always there
Speaker 2: to you know, help out support. They're nice and friendly.
Speaker 2: A and I'm from Buffalo Jewels so I know all
Speaker 2: about the Canadians. A okay. I always used to cross
Speaker 2: the border when I was nineteen years old so I
Speaker 2: could go over there and drink because it's legal over
Speaker 2: over on that side of the border, you know. So
Speaker 2: it was just super easy to go there and have
Speaker 2: a good time. I'll being twenty minutes away from there.
Speaker 2: So love Canadians. Love any chance I get to go
Speaker 2: over there and just hang out. And that was my
Speaker 2: second time in Vancouver. Just a great spot man. And
Speaker 2: I got a question for you, though, is that how
Speaker 2: was Whistler? I want to truly know how Whistler was
Speaker 2: because everyone talks about it in Vancouver that's the best
Speaker 2: ski resort in the entire world. Well they say it's
Speaker 2: top one or two. They say the ski resorts in
Speaker 2: Switzerland are number one, and then it goes Whistler at
Speaker 2: number two. So how was it, Jules? I want to
Speaker 2: know in depth how nice Whistler was the ski?
Speaker 1: Well, first off, like just rehashed that people are awesome,
Speaker 1: got my wallet back, lost the mountain two huge mountain,
Speaker 1: huge mountain. One day. Not enough for that mountain one
Speaker 1: day with big house who has no clue about the
Speaker 1: mountain also like not how you have to do it.
Speaker 1: You need to go with like a local that knows
Speaker 1: the whole mountain, or you need to have a friend
Speaker 1: that is like Kurt would pull out a map and stuff.
Speaker 1: He's a big, big map guy, So you need a
Speaker 1: map guy for how big that mountain is. The snow
Speaker 1: was pretty good, The visibility was tough. I wish I
Speaker 1: got to go on a clear day like this was
Speaker 1: like a very spontaneous let's rent a car and fucking
Speaker 1: go snowboarding. Like if I were to like do this again,
Speaker 1: I would probably plan out, which it is a redo mountain,
Speaker 1: because it is that good of a mountain, But like
Speaker 1: I didn't. The visibility was tough in certain areas. The
Speaker 1: snow was awesome in certain areas. And then after the
Speaker 1: snow day, like they what's it called the Apris what
Speaker 1: do they call it opery? Yeah, they had the opera going,
Speaker 1: they were partying. It was beauty, like the little village,
Speaker 1: the Olympic village that they had and the village community
Speaker 1: that they had was really nice. They just had the
Speaker 1: Olympics there in twenty ten. So we walked by the
Speaker 1: Olympic sign and like you could just tell that the
Speaker 1: whole city and stuff was awesome for like hosting and venuing,
Speaker 1: like large amounts of fun. It was like that. It
Speaker 1: was beautiful. Didn't really get to eat the food. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of poutine, a lot of poutine everywhere. Poutine
Speaker 1: is everywhere. They love putin or poutine. Not a big
Speaker 1: poutine fan. I'd rather just go catch up on my fries.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was great. The snow. I thought the
Speaker 1: mountain would be higher though it's not that high of
Speaker 1: a mountain. That was the one thing when I saw
Speaker 1: the elevation, I think it's only like, what is it
Speaker 1: like five thousand feet high?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not too high. I mean we played at
Speaker 2: the mile High Stadium in Denver, which is five thousand.
Speaker 1: The top of it is seven thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not too high. When you go to Valence stuff,
Speaker 2: you can get up to eleven thousand feet possibly twelve
Speaker 2: thousand feet in Breckenbridge, and that's when you really feel it.
Speaker 2: That's when you're out of breath, just skiing down the
Speaker 2: hill about one eighth of it and you're breathing really
Speaker 2: deep and just walking up the stairs in your house,
Speaker 2: you feel and you're like why am I taking such
Speaker 2: deep breaths. It's because you're at an elevation of about
Speaker 2: nine thousand, ten thousand feet five thousand feet. You're an athlete,
Speaker 2: You're really not gonna feel it. Jewels. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 2: kind of like when we go to Denver and we
Speaker 2: played the Broncos and we flew in the night before
Speaker 2: and then we played the next day and you didn't
Speaker 2: really feel it too much at all, but like you
Speaker 2: got to hit eight thousand, nine thousand, ten thousand feet
Speaker 2: to really really really feel that elevation. So it was
Speaker 2: probably a good thing though that you're only seven thousand
Speaker 2: feet up, because sometimes you can get that hot. You
Speaker 2: got elevation sickness, which is no good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like the only thing. Like I was
Speaker 1: just amazed, Like man, I thought we'd be like way
Speaker 1: higher because it's a huge mountain but long beautiful runs.
Speaker 1: I mean, I shared chair, lives with a bunch of
Speaker 1: random people and everyone is just so nice. There a
Speaker 1: lot of international people. It's a little different feel than
Speaker 1: when well everyone's international. Technically you're not in the nation,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, but different countries, a lot of
Speaker 1: different countries. There's a lot it was It's a very
Speaker 1: global skiing destination, which makes it fun. Uh, it was
Speaker 1: a fun. I had a blast. I enjoyed Friday night
Speaker 1: in Vancouver with with you speaking at that the event
Speaker 1: for the Unions, and then you know, exploring Vancouver. Hell
Speaker 1: of that. I went to this place called Dynasty Dumpling House.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal dumplings, a soup dumpling that will knock your socks off,
Speaker 1: good pan fried dumplings. The Asian food there was pretty dialed.
Speaker 1: That's one thing I will say, uh, which is pretty
Speaker 1: standard I feel in Pacific Northwest states or places you know,
Speaker 1: or cities, because Seattle has great Asian food. San Francisco
Speaker 1: is not quite up there, but we have huge Asian population.
Speaker 1: Like that, Asian food up there was spectacular and I'm
Speaker 1: very Asian picky when it comes to my dumplings. So
Speaker 1: I had a blast. I had a freaking blast. But
Speaker 1: the whole time, the one thing that pissed me off.
Speaker 2: Let's hear it, what pissed you off? Jewles?
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here trying to throw in the goddamn march
Speaker 1: madness on my YouTube TV on a ski lift, and
Speaker 1: you can't use YouTube TV in Canada I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the heck?
Speaker 2: We have March Madness on TV and y'all need to
Speaker 2: go global YouTube TV. What you're doing, you slacking YouTube?
Speaker 1: We are in a bracket, of course, over at the Nuthouse,
Speaker 1: we have the Nuthouse bracket, which I believe I'm in
Speaker 1: second place, ten points behind the leader. Third. Let's let's
Speaker 1: take a little look at where I am where you
Speaker 1: Rob Hey.
Speaker 2: Can you tell me where I'm at too? Jules, I
Speaker 2: didn't really do so well on our face.
Speaker 1: Oh you were starting, you were killing the Nuthouse.
Speaker 2: But I know I got off to a great start,
Speaker 2: you know, with my March Madness bracket. But I don't
Speaker 2: really know where I'm at right now. I didn't check
Speaker 2: on the last day or two. Who's that? Who's in
Speaker 2: first place right now?
Speaker 1: Who is that I could still win?
Speaker 2: Who's Jvon Duncan freaking defensive lineman, right defensive tackle. South
Speaker 2: Carolina guy is an SEC guy, he knows what's up.
Speaker 2: They got seven teams in the tournament in the sweet
Speaker 2: sixteen out of out of the SEC. Right now, that's
Speaker 2: pretty impressive. Is that the most teams from one conference
Speaker 2: in the sweet sixteen at one time? I think it is.
Speaker 1: It's got to be the SEC been coming out. They've
Speaker 1: been coming out to play this year. It's crazy how
Speaker 1: this NIL is. Like SEC never used to be a
Speaker 1: basketball conference. Now it is a basketball conference. They just
Speaker 1: make money conference. I mean maybe they got money all
Speaker 1: over the place. Jewels the football program. They tied the
Speaker 1: number for most Sweet sixteens.
Speaker 2: SEC is just absolutely dominating in all aspects of sports
Speaker 2: in the college ranks. So out to the SEC, I
Speaker 2: guess they do got the best of you know, best
Speaker 2: conference in football and basketball now, So they're doing something right.
Speaker 2: SEC is doing something right, and I think that they
Speaker 2: got the right boosters behind them.
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're doing right. Jules one thousand percent.
Speaker 1: But the tournament is not over quite yet, Roberto. Let's
Speaker 1: pump the brakes. Let's pump the breaks, even though I
Speaker 1: do have Florida taking the whole thing. But let's not
Speaker 1: like fucking reverse jings this thing. So my bracket gets
Speaker 1: busted and all the SEC teams fucking die.
Speaker 2: Well, you know who's gonna bust open that SEC. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about them. Arizona wildcast baby reaching to sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: They're number four seed. I'm proud of them because this
Speaker 2: year wasn't their best year. You know, they didn't have
Speaker 2: the best regular season you know with head coach Tommy
Speaker 2: Layd that they've had over the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: But that's kind of why I like this team. They're
Speaker 2: kind of under the radar. They're supposed to, you know,
Speaker 2: possibly win the national championship last year or the year
Speaker 2: before that, and then they lost I think in the
Speaker 2: you know, the top thirty two. They didn't really do
Speaker 2: so well. But you know, they're in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: They're playing Duke this Thursday night, non thirty pm at
Speaker 2: the Prudential Center in New Jersey. I might be, you know,
Speaker 2: I might be attending. I'm not sure that Jewels. We'll see.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Man. I love my Wildcats, and you know,
Speaker 2: I love my East Coast, So whenever there's something on
Speaker 2: the East Coast, Jewles, I try to, you know, tend
Speaker 2: to get to it. So we will see if I
Speaker 2: make the game and support, you know, my Arizona Wildcats
Speaker 2: and coach Tommy Lloyd and calb love looking great Wildcats
Speaker 2: playing together as a team. Like I said, under the
Speaker 2: radar this year kind of at the number four seed,
Speaker 2: that's really not under radar, but under the radar for
Speaker 2: them over the last few years. I'm excited about this.
Speaker 2: They beat Oregon last two nights ago or last night,
Speaker 2: you know, they which was awesome. They beat your max
Speaker 2: school Akron absolutely dominated. They dominated them in the first round.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited. Man, March Madness. I just got to
Speaker 2: you know, next time, pick a better bracket, you know,
Speaker 2: choose choose better situations so I can possibly win March
Speaker 2: Madness brackets.
Speaker 1: Well, you know who's not under the radar. Who's that
Speaker 1: the team they're about to play?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 1: Ah Duke looks fucking unstoppable.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 1: They look that Cooper flag guy main product. He is
Speaker 1: a fucking stud, absolute savage. That whole team is good,
Speaker 1: and there was who's the other kid? But I was
Speaker 1: watching this, I'll tell you right now. I was watching
Speaker 1: that Arizona Orgon game. It came down to free throws, bro,
Speaker 1: Like Oregon, they were like thirty percent on their free
Speaker 1: throws or forty percent on their free throws like that,
Speaker 1: they had an opportunity to I'm only a little mad
Speaker 1: because I had Orgon picked in that and it wasn't
Speaker 1: against you. But I thought, you know, maybe that the
Speaker 1: founder of Nike University would rally behind the sport that
Speaker 1: loves Nike.
Speaker 2: The he's rallied plenty behind or again, Jules, he's rallied plenty.
Speaker 2: He's donated plenty of money to that school. You know
Speaker 2: that wasn't a factor that played in that game. Okay,
Speaker 2: it was just because the Arizona Wildcats were a better team.
Speaker 2: We made our free throws, we came through in the clutch,
Speaker 2: and we beat them.
Speaker 1: You know, Kent State is in the Elite eight of
Speaker 1: the n I T. Congratulations, we just beat Stanford. What's up?
Speaker 1: Stanford can't State? Let's go beat a pack. What is
Speaker 1: Stanford in ACC? That's an ACC team, So you know,
Speaker 1: shout out. We just had Antonio gates On who led
Speaker 1: Ken State to the NCAA Elite eight, not the n
Speaker 1: I T one. But hey, anytime you beat a major
Speaker 1: university like Stanford in a tournament to keep moving on,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good. That's a good.
Speaker 2: You're giving Stafford a little bit too much hype right now.
Speaker 1: I used to remember Stanford being pretty damn good.
Speaker 2: The last time they were good, when they had the
Speaker 2: low Has twins.
Speaker 1: That was probably when we were coming out, so it
Speaker 1: was you know, recency bias maybe for you. What are
Speaker 1: the NFL players typically doing in the month of March
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 2: Rob, all Right, the month of March is kind of
Speaker 2: like letting yourself go. You know, you let yourself free,
Speaker 2: you don't you don't really think about football. You know,
Speaker 2: you still definitely got to train, So it's not like
Speaker 2: you're over training right now in March. I mean typically
Speaker 2: for my sake and just seeing the guys that were
Speaker 2: always around me in March that I hung out with.
Speaker 2: You trained, you know about three possibly four times a
Speaker 2: week still in March. But you're having a good time.
Speaker 2: You're going on those vacations. You're going to the beach,
Speaker 2: You're renting yachts, You're you're renting Lamborghini's, you know, to
Speaker 2: drive around the city that you know you're vacationing on.
Speaker 2: You're you're going out late. You know, this is when
Speaker 2: you get all that you know, all that fallm MO out.
Speaker 2: You know, when you've been playing and all your friends
Speaker 2: been going out, your family's been going out, they've been
Speaker 2: hitting all the parties. This is when you get it
Speaker 2: out of your system. You go out late nights. You
Speaker 2: used to wake up your train still because you're young
Speaker 2: enough and you just let yourself be Jules, How about you?
Speaker 2: What do you think that's how I see it for players?
Speaker 1: Well, I was just thinking, you know, like for Rob,
Speaker 1: like this is his part of the off season where
Speaker 1: it's like having fun. Because Rob played until February most
Speaker 1: of his career, so like this is like right after
Speaker 1: the season for Rob.
Speaker 2: But in the.
Speaker 1: Regular like with most guys, they're already they've been out
Speaker 1: for three four months, so this is probably like tighten
Speaker 1: up stage. March is like, all right, we've had our
Speaker 1: fun in February in January and we've done all our trips,
Speaker 1: so we got to start tightening up. That's probably what
Speaker 1: it is for most the league. For me, I was
Speaker 1: always training. I mean I would have my fun on
Speaker 1: the weekends, but like I kept it, you know, especially
Speaker 1: even towards the older I got it like you never
Speaker 1: like when we were young, we would go out and
Speaker 1: have fun. But March, like I remember, the cutoff was
Speaker 1: like Saint Patti's Day, Like what was that the fifteenth?
Speaker 1: Like after that, it was like we got to get
Speaker 1: start getting ready for the season, got to start because
Speaker 1: I wanted to turn heads when I went into camp.
Speaker 1: I wanted to turn heads the first day of conditioning tests,
Speaker 1: so I would stop drinking like a month from when
Speaker 1: we had to report, So that usually took place around
Speaker 1: like March thirteenth, and then I would go zero dark
Speaker 1: thirty and trade mode, try to get up because you know,
Speaker 1: you want to you want to turn heads and let
Speaker 1: let the organization know, you know, especially the situation I
Speaker 1: was in that I was working my time away from
Speaker 1: the organization, even though you know, I had my fun,
Speaker 1: but yeah, like that, that's this is the time where
Speaker 1: guys could catch guys or where guys could you know,
Speaker 1: put themselves in a hole. That's the truth.
Speaker 2: You know. Me though, when I was going out, you know,
Speaker 2: after this season and in March, I was still working
Speaker 2: on my cardio because I was dancing on that dance
Speaker 2: floor for about two or three hours every single night.
Speaker 2: You know, I was doing my fast feed, I was
Speaker 2: doing my high knees, thinking I was actually busting some
Speaker 2: legit dance moves, but literally they were just called gronk
Speaker 2: moves and just people loved it because I was just
Speaker 2: bringing the energy to the table, not actual legit dance moves.
Speaker 2: But let me tell you it worked on my cardio.
Speaker 2: It to find my you know, little muscles kept me ripped,
Speaker 2: you know, kept me active. So as long as if
Speaker 2: you're going out, stay active on that dance floor, man,
Speaker 2: you'll stay in shape, and it will it will translate
Speaker 2: onto to the football field as well, if you if
Speaker 2: you bust enough moves.
Speaker 1: If you're out there, bust enough moves, it'll translate. So
Speaker 1: for me, what we got Grounk Beach WrestleMania after Dark
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Five, Yes we do, baby, it's the first front beach.
Speaker 1: Explain this.
Speaker 2: It's going down Gronk Beach. This is the first time
Speaker 2: it's not affiliated, you know, with football. Usually it's you know,
Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl, or it's at the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2: You know that was in Vegas a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: But this is the official after party of WrestleMania. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be after dark, it's gonna be still at the pool,
Speaker 2: so it's gonna be Gronk Beach still, but you know, nighttime.
Speaker 2: Grunk Beach out April twentieth, twenty twenty five, immediately following
Speaker 2: WrestleMania forty one, I hosted WrestleMania before. So I'm a
Speaker 2: big wrestling fan. I grew up watching the WWE, the WWF,
Speaker 2: Stone Colt, Steve Austin, Dwayne Johnson, all those guys, so
Speaker 2: big wrestling fans still am to this day. And it's
Speaker 2: all going down at Live Beach at Fountain Blue, Las Vegas,
Speaker 2: which is the official hotel of WrestleMania as well. And
Speaker 2: tickets go on sale this Friday at ten am or
Speaker 2: ten am Pacific time, or they can be pre ordered
Speaker 2: now at Gronkbeach dot com. So get your tickets now.
Speaker 2: They're gonna go fast. We got flow Rider actually performing,
Speaker 2: he's gonna be the headliner. We got Valentino con as
Speaker 2: the DJ, and we got plenty of wrestlers that will
Speaker 2: be appearing as well at Gronk Beach. So it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a first of its kind. We're gonna be bringing
Speaker 2: the energy, we're gonna be bringing the excitement. We're gonna
Speaker 2: have wrestlers there, DJs, performers, all that good stuff. But
Speaker 2: the main question is, Jules, are you going.
Speaker 1: I think I'll have to check it out. I've been
Speaker 1: to a Gronk Beach or two before. It's you know,
Speaker 1: I've I got to check the schedule. It's a weekend.
Speaker 1: Usually this is soccer time right now. I think I'll
Speaker 1: be coming back from Lake Tahoe spring break. I think
Speaker 1: for the kids ends around that time. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: For twenty, we'll see. Yeah, what a day, What a night.
Speaker 2: It's Easter Sunday. Well, it's Easter Sunday for twenty, Easter
Speaker 2: Sunday as well.
Speaker 1: We day Hitler's birthday. We got it all a Gronk
Speaker 1: beach for twenty.
Speaker 2: That is a day.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this quick break. Let's get
Speaker 1: into some of these big stories around the league.
Speaker 2: Let's hear what you got for me, Jules, What you got?
Speaker 2: What's a big story in your mind?
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and t Higgins both in Cincinnati for a
Speaker 1: boatload of money. Chase signs a four year deal one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one large millions, large millions U seventy
Speaker 1: three point nine guaranteed. Higgins signs a four year one
Speaker 1: fifteen million with thirty guaranteed. Rumors of a Chase in
Speaker 1: Higgins or nothing packed between them? What do you think
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 2: I think it was the right move by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2: You got Joe Burrow at the quarterback position, you want
Speaker 2: those weapons around him. They're going to be thriving on
Speaker 2: the offensive side of the ball for quite some time now.
Speaker 2: I would put him in the top five in the
Speaker 2: in the league. Over the next five years on the
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball, they're going to be in
Speaker 2: there's no question about that. Like they're all young, they're
Speaker 2: all in their prime, and they're just going to get
Speaker 2: better every single year. They just need to get off
Speaker 2: to a fast start. They can't start, you know, have
Speaker 2: that slow start where they just go zero in three
Speaker 2: versus three teams that they should have beat, you know
Speaker 2: that that they should be beating. So they got to
Speaker 2: get off to a fast starre so it doesn't affect
Speaker 2: them at the end of the season like it did
Speaker 2: this year. But it was the right move. Like I said,
Speaker 2: by Cincinnati, congratulations to Chase. He bet on himself as well,
Speaker 2: not signing the contract off for last year. He's the
Speaker 2: highest paid player in the NFL. Well deserved. He's an
Speaker 2: action quarterback on this field. Yes, yeah, non quarterback, highest
Speaker 2: paid non quarterback, absolute beasts. And then they kept Higgins
Speaker 2: as well. Guy is probably the best number two in
Speaker 2: the league if you put it, you know, if you
Speaker 2: put it that way, technically he is at number one,
Speaker 2: but you're a number two when you're behind Jamar Chase.
Speaker 2: I don't care what you say, you're you're always gonna
Speaker 2: be number two with him in front. And it's just
Speaker 2: a great move. I'm looking forward to them, you know,
Speaker 2: watching them and seeing what they do. It's gonna be spectacular.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fire works. Yeah, it's gonna be I
Speaker 2: don't I don't know, outrageous.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: What do you mean. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't think it was the right movie. You don't
Speaker 1: want to change, and you want to start fast. If
Speaker 1: you want to change, you gotta change. This is They're
Speaker 1: gonna have the same team and they're losing some of
Speaker 1: their defense. Their defense couldn't stop anyone last year. So
Speaker 1: you know, you have the one of the best quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the league and Joe Burrow. You have probably top three,
Speaker 1: top two, maybe the best receiver in Jamar Chase. I
Speaker 1: just thought that money could have went somewhere else to
Speaker 1: build some of the or to fill some of the
Speaker 1: holes for Higgins. That money that went to Higgins could
Speaker 1: fill some of the holes that they need on their team,
Speaker 1: Like they don't have anyone that protects him. I think
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is like one of the most hit quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the league. Their defense can't stop anyone. I mean
Speaker 1: the records and the numbers that they had last year,
Speaker 1: that's fucking amazing. But they didn't make the playoffs. They're
Speaker 1: gonna go in with the same team. Now you can say, oh,
Speaker 1: well Philadelphia. Philadelphia paid you know, a J Brown, they
Speaker 1: paid DeVante Smith, Jalen Hurts. But they've also hit on
Speaker 1: the draft. You got to hit on the draft. They
Speaker 1: gotta find players that can come in and perform that
Speaker 1: they could build their team around. Jalen Carter. Philadelphia drafts
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter. He's instant. I know, there was a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff that like he's lit and stuff, but they
Speaker 1: had the balls to take them and now he's gonna
Speaker 1: be there for probably eight years. You know, like you
Speaker 1: got to hit on your players. Dajeen. Philadelphia hit on
Speaker 1: Djen as a as a secondary weapon, a Star Nickel,
Speaker 1: a really good defensive player. They've hit on those guys.
Speaker 1: I just I think that's too much offensive power. And
Speaker 1: we saw last year, outscoring teams didn't win games for them,
Speaker 1: So I don't.
Speaker 2: Know the seats jewels keeping these guys under contract Burrow,
Speaker 2: that's true, Chase, and true fills the seats. I mean
Speaker 2: as an owner, there's some owners that really, you know,
Speaker 2: don't care about winning championship jewels. As an owner, though,
Speaker 2: they care about filling the seats, getting the fans in
Speaker 2: the stands. And Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and Hagen's are
Speaker 2: gonna fill those seats, get the fans in the stands, but.
Speaker 1: Are gonna come to see jamartin Chase and Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: they're like the two most popular players in the league now,
Speaker 1: like I think we're I love Higgins and Higgins deserves
Speaker 1: the money, but I'm just saying for the Bengals to
Speaker 1: have a successful season, like this is the same team
Speaker 1: they had last year and they didn't make the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and their defense is probably gonna be worse than last
Speaker 1: year because they're not gonna get Hendrickson what's his name
Speaker 1: just retired. You could have took that Higgins contract, maybe
Speaker 1: trade him, get a couple big players for your defense,
Speaker 1: Maybe get a couple offensive linemen, like let's build the team.
Speaker 1: This looks like an unbelievable set of weapons. This is historic, yes,
Speaker 1: But like, are they gonna win games?
Speaker 2: They will win games. They're possibly gonna, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: lose more games than they win. But they're gonna be suspenseful,
Speaker 2: They're gonna be fun to watch.
Speaker 1: But also I think Joe Burrow is good enough to
Speaker 1: do with just with just Jamar Chase. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: That's how good Joe Burrow is. He'll develop another guy.
Speaker 2: We just talked about the rumors though that chasing Higgins.
Speaker 2: It was a nothing packed between them. It was all
Speaker 2: or nothing. It was either you signed both of them
Speaker 2: or both of them wanted it out. So if you're
Speaker 2: the owner of the team, you really gonna let Jamar
Speaker 2: Chase and Higgins walk away? Or are you gonna sign
Speaker 2: both of them? If that's the case, what would you do.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Jamar Chase is going to break that
Speaker 1: pack because he just saw seventy three point nine guaranteed, okay,
Speaker 1: and he saw one hundred and a six and a
Speaker 1: one with a million on the damn chat Okay like that.
Speaker 1: I love packs and stuff, but we clearly know that
Speaker 1: he wants that the Cheddar and he got the Cheddar.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You see the post of them riding
Speaker 1: their lambos, Higgins and Jamar racing having the funnest time ever,
Speaker 1: just rich as hell.
Speaker 2: Just cruising around Miami. I told you players rent lambos
Speaker 2: in March.
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool.
Speaker 2: You think they just ranted them or you think they
Speaker 2: bought them.
Speaker 1: They're rich enough to do whatever they want. I mean,
Speaker 1: they deserve the money. I'm just saying for the Bengals organization,
Speaker 1: do you kind of feel where I'm coming from?
Speaker 2: I do? I do. It makes sense. You got to
Speaker 2: have a complete team. You just can't have two positions
Speaker 2: filled and then just have average guys at the other
Speaker 2: positions and expect to win. You got to have quality
Speaker 2: starters everywhere, all yeah, everywhere, at all positions in order
Speaker 2: to compete for a championship, in order to compete for
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: When's the last time we've seen a team other than
Speaker 1: Philadelphia who hits on all their draft picks and has
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman who freaking knows how to bring in talent
Speaker 1: and designs a really great No one's saying any of
Speaker 1: this about how the design of the team is for
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Like, when's the last time we've seen a
Speaker 1: team with two crazy great receivers, highest paid receivers go
Speaker 1: out and win a Super Bowl. No, it's been a while.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. Time will tell, and I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch. We're all gonna watch how.
Speaker 2: Many wins for the Bengals next year.
Speaker 1: I mean, we still got the draft. We gotta see
Speaker 1: what they're gonna pick up in the draft. They got
Speaker 1: a lot of holes to fill, bro, they have a
Speaker 1: lot of holes to fill.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The one great thing is that the Steelers don't have
Speaker 1: a goddamn quarterback right now. So you know that's good
Speaker 1: Browns in their division. But then you got Baltimore. You
Speaker 1: got Baltimore. Got Baltimore too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna win it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I mean, that's who you're playing against. You're
Speaker 1: playing against your division.
Speaker 2: Tough.
Speaker 1: That's a tough it'll be exciting. This is still exciting.
Speaker 1: It's still a win for the National Football League. Let's
Speaker 1: let's let's move on. Quarterback on Netflix is coming back.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it as well. I've watched I didn't
Speaker 2: I never seen a Quarterback episode. By seeing the Wide
Speaker 2: Receiver episodes, you know, it's still a series produced by
Speaker 2: the Peyton Mannings Productions, the Omaha Productions, so it's just
Speaker 2: you know, Wide Receivers. It was with Kittle, DeVante Adams,
Speaker 2: and the guy from Minnesota again, which is Justin Jefferson. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, my bad and I watched the first three
Speaker 2: episodes of Wide Receiver. I thought it was very well
Speaker 2: put together to production was high quality. I appreciated how
Speaker 2: they just you know, went inside their life and it
Speaker 2: was real. You know, I've been in those situations before
Speaker 2: and it was all real. There was nothing that was
Speaker 2: fake about it. Everything that was shown is what really
Speaker 2: happens on a daily basis, you know, in an NFL
Speaker 2: player's life. So I enjoyed watching. If you're a football fan,
Speaker 2: then you're one hundred percent got a tune in to Quarterback.
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's a great great you know, see,
Speaker 2: it's a great show. It really is if you're if
Speaker 2: you're a football fan.
Speaker 1: So this year is going to be Kirk Cousins again.
Speaker 1: So Kirk Cousins is going to go in again.
Speaker 2: Cousins was already on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in the first one, made him love
Speaker 1: he was he was great. I mean, he worked hard
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he he works his tail off,
Speaker 1: he loves football, he loves his family, and it was
Speaker 1: displayed on quarterback like that's that you could tell. You
Speaker 1: could tell that was his life. I mean, ultimately, these
Speaker 1: shows all depend on the people that are participating in them.
Speaker 1: Like how much Joe Burrow are you going to get?
Speaker 1: Are we going to get the real Joe Burrow? Are
Speaker 1: we going to get?
Speaker 2: We need the real Joe Burrow. Well, what I like
Speaker 2: about this group is that you got Kirk Cousins. He's
Speaker 2: a family man, he's a you know, a veteran quarterback
Speaker 2: is high thirty, so it's kind of like relates to
Speaker 2: you know a lot of different veteran you know, scenarios
Speaker 2: in life, a lot of different you know, households. So
Speaker 2: you got the family household with Kirk Cousins, and then
Speaker 2: you got Jared Goff, who's he's in between. You know,
Speaker 2: he's what thirty years old, you know, so he just
Speaker 2: got married to a sports illustrated supermodel who cameales great
Speaker 2: friends with. Uh, so, you know, how is he dealing
Speaker 2: with the married life, you know, while playing out on
Speaker 2: the football field. So you get to see the mid
Speaker 2: veteran guy and that's Jared Goff, and then you get
Speaker 2: to see the young falk Joe Burrow, you know, just
Speaker 2: dominating the NFL mid twenties, just going out there. He's
Speaker 2: a single guy. I'm pretty sure he's single. I really
Speaker 2: don't know his personal life, but I'm just saying that just,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, just to put perspectives out there
Speaker 2: for these fans that are watching quarterbacks. So you get
Speaker 2: three different style quarterbacks, you know, all three different ages
Speaker 2: in their life. So that's cool to see, you know,
Speaker 2: you get to see how each of them gets to prepare,
Speaker 2: How the young Buck prepares, how Kirk Cousins prepares, you know,
Speaker 2: how Joe Burrow prepares, all at different stages in their career.
Speaker 1: Yes, when Patrick did the first one, he won a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. This is an interesting group because no one
Speaker 1: in this super Bowl, no one in this group has
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl. They're all going to be a
Speaker 1: first time Super Bowl winner if they go out and
Speaker 1: do it. I think it's also cool with perspective to see,
Speaker 1: you know, how Kirk Cousins is gonna deal with being
Speaker 1: that's in that situation he's in, is it you know?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a backup? Is he going to
Speaker 1: get traded? Are they starting the filming already? Like I
Speaker 1: want to know that. Jared Goff, I think there's great
Speaker 1: storylines with him on a sexy team. Has has built
Speaker 1: some some merit with with the Detroit fan base. He's
Speaker 1: got a lot of couple. He's got two good years
Speaker 1: under his belt with Detroit, coming from a super Bowl
Speaker 1: team in the La Rams that he was kind of
Speaker 1: sent off. Then he's he's kind of on the up
Speaker 1: upspring again, you know, gonna have a new offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: We'll see how he does without Ben Johnson. So I'm
Speaker 1: interested to see that storyline. And then Joe Burrow, I mean,
Speaker 1: you put him on anything. He's just cool. You know,
Speaker 1: he's the young gen Z quarterback. That's what he is.
Speaker 1: He's got he's at the fashion shows. He's got some
Speaker 1: weird shit on. He's fashion forward. He's got hot babes
Speaker 1: around him, and he's cool under pressure. Like, I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be entertaining. This gonna be a this will
Speaker 1: be a fun thing. I can't wait to watch. What
Speaker 1: about Steph von Digs to New England. He's only five
Speaker 1: months out of ACL recovery and how old is he
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty one, thirty two, So he turns thirty
Speaker 1: two this year already running full speed and cutting and
Speaker 1: changing directions. According to sources.
Speaker 2: That's impressive.
Speaker 1: I think it was the right move five months out
Speaker 1: thirty one.
Speaker 2: I mean, New England needs a guy. They need wide receivers,
Speaker 2: they need a number one. Stefan Diggs might not be
Speaker 2: that number one, but he'll at least be a solid
Speaker 2: number two. And I'm sure he's got some big play
Speaker 2: making abilities still left in the tank. You know, thirty
Speaker 2: one years old coming off in ACL, but he's working
Speaker 2: every day at it. You know, he's already ahead of schedule.
Speaker 2: He's running full speed.
Speaker 1: I like Stefon Diggs in New England that situation, because
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is still pissed off at the bills. So
Speaker 1: there's gonna be hunger and there's gonna be urgency, and
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a fire under his ass in the
Speaker 1: meeting room when he's in New England at practice, which
Speaker 1: they could use. They could use a little fire under
Speaker 1: their ass in that receiver room. And you know that
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. Yeah, he's got a lot of like, oh
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a lot of the instances where
Speaker 1: he's got the mind games with the quarterback, but no
Speaker 1: one ever second guesses how hard he works and the
Speaker 1: amount of work that he puts into his craft. So
Speaker 1: if you're getting a motivated Stefan Diggs like that could
Speaker 1: be really beneficial to the young football players in that
Speaker 1: young football room that they call the receiver room in
Speaker 1: New England. They have a lot of young football players there.
Speaker 1: You know, it'd be really good for these younger guys
Speaker 1: to be able to see how a professional you know,
Speaker 1: works daily, how professional prepares daily, how professional takes care
Speaker 1: of his body. And if Stefan's Diggs is doing that,
Speaker 1: you got to bring them in because they need a
Speaker 1: little veteran. They need a little veteran leadership in that room.
Speaker 2: How does that work in free agency?
Speaker 1: Sometimes like this is is tough going into free agency
Speaker 1: with an injury at thirty one.
Speaker 2: He's a lighter guy. Though, you guys can recover so
Speaker 2: much quicker big guys offensive lineman, tight ends man, we
Speaker 2: have so much more weight, So our joints are just
Speaker 2: taking that much more pressure every time that we land
Speaker 2: on them when we're running full speed. But he's a
Speaker 2: lighter guy. You know, those you guys that are light,
Speaker 2: that are quick, just recover so fast. So I feel
Speaker 2: like that's why he's ahead of schedule in the ACL,
Speaker 2: you know, coming back from his ACL, because he's light,
Speaker 2: he's quick, he's activated at all times. The way he
Speaker 2: just plays the game, you know, is just you know,
Speaker 2: very fluid. So when you're a guy like that, you
Speaker 2: recover quicker and uh, you know, so I believe he'll
Speaker 2: come back and put up some you know numbers, not
Speaker 2: not like number one numbers.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't how old was I when I tore
Speaker 1: my I was thirty one, thirty two. I came back
Speaker 1: at thirty two. I was at this same kind of
Speaker 1: age now, those first eight months in a recovery of
Speaker 1: the ACL. At that age, it's a grind man. So
Speaker 1: I know he's he's a competitor. Look at him, he's
Speaker 1: working it. He's in the weight room, he's squatting. Those
Speaker 1: are single leg squats, trying to build up that quad muscle.
Speaker 1: See how he's loading his glute, trying to retrain it.
Speaker 1: I know where you're at bubbs. That's good. That's good.
Speaker 2: Speaking of league news, it's almost league meetings time, and
Speaker 2: you know what that means, Jules.
Speaker 1: Rule change proposals.
Speaker 2: That's right. So we're gonna look at some of the
Speaker 2: proposals and decide how we would vote. Let's check him out.
Speaker 1: Let's check him out. What do we got? What are
Speaker 1: some of these league rule changes? All right? The Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions have proposed allowing wild card teams to be higher
Speaker 1: seated than division winners.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, isn't that how the NBA does it?
Speaker 1: They kind of like RECEIVED think they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Lions have also submitted a rule change seeking to
Speaker 1: eliminate automatic first downs when penalized for defensive holding in
Speaker 1: illegal contact. Mmmmm, it's not a I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of I agree with that too.
Speaker 2: I kind of like both.
Speaker 1: Well, Detroit did league the league with eleven holding calls
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, so I mean, he can't beat it.
Speaker 1: He might as well change this change the rule. I
Speaker 1: think it's hard. If you I think you should be
Speaker 1: rewarded if you win your division. I know what you mean,
Speaker 1: So then you should be higher seats.
Speaker 2: It kind of goes it kind of goes up and down.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just because of the scenario like last year.
Speaker 2: It's not like this happens all the time. You know,
Speaker 2: you had the Minnesota Vikings, they would have been you know,
Speaker 2: they should have been the number one seed or number
Speaker 2: two seed. Instead they were like what the fifth or
Speaker 2: sixth seed, And then there was teams that won their division,
Speaker 2: and the Minnesota Vikings had like what, what was a
Speaker 2: fourteen and three record or thirteen and four, and then
Speaker 2: the teams that won their division at the number four
Speaker 2: seed and number three seed, they were like ten and
Speaker 2: eight or ten and seven or yeah, I mean eleven
Speaker 2: and six. So it's rare that that situation happens where
Speaker 2: three teams like the Packers, you know, Lions and Minnesota
Speaker 2: Vikings just dominate overall. I kind of like how it's
Speaker 2: set up. I understand where they're coming from because of
Speaker 2: that situation. But this is football, like you got to
Speaker 2: earn it, you know, and you get rewarded for winning
Speaker 2: your division. Divisions changed throughout the year, you know, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: throughout the year, depending on the year that it is,
Speaker 2: and competition changes. It's just such a turnover in the NFL.
Speaker 2: So I kind of like where it's at right now.
Speaker 1: I like where it's at right now. But then after
Speaker 1: the first round wildcard weekend, they should re seed.
Speaker 2: Receive them after that. That's a good point there, you go.
Speaker 1: So because if you're a yeah, you gotta win your division,
Speaker 1: your hot, If you win your division, you should host
Speaker 1: a game. Then after that, let's re recede.
Speaker 2: I mean, but put it. What about this situation though?
Speaker 2: This is why it could possibly make sense because like
Speaker 2: a scenario like in twenty eleven, the Seahawks, I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure they were seven and nine, they won their division,
Speaker 2: but they hosted the eleven and five Saints and that
Speaker 2: was the Beast Quake game with Beast model. Like that
Speaker 2: scenario right there is kind of what the rule change
Speaker 2: is kind of proposing to eliminate. Is a team that
Speaker 2: wins their division only at seven and nine. You know,
Speaker 2: like like in that scenario, what do you.
Speaker 1: Think they still won their division? They're a good point,
Speaker 1: they still won their division. And you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like every time I remember there was like a four
Speaker 1: or five year span the AFC East, I remember they'd
Speaker 1: always have that when they were kind of down, they'd
Speaker 1: have those seven and nine teams, or there's eight and
Speaker 1: eight teams that were making the playoffs, or they'd have
Speaker 1: a tie. So they'd like, you know, if you win
Speaker 1: your division, I think you got to keep your home game. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I mean that's the first that's the first goal
Speaker 1: in every locker room. Okay, it's not to make the playoffs,
Speaker 1: it's to win the division.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're still going to go to the playoffs
Speaker 2: if you win your division. They're just saying receding it.
Speaker 2: So the team with the eleven to five record as
Speaker 2: a higher seed than the team that won the division,
Speaker 2: you know at seven and nine.
Speaker 1: I know, but that team that's eleven and five didn't
Speaker 1: win their division because maybe that year, that like every year,
Speaker 1: is not going to be last year where there's four
Speaker 1: or three double digit winning teams in a in a
Speaker 1: division that happens once every five years, once every six years.
Speaker 1: The lion's trying to propose that, All right, well, he
Speaker 1: can't stop holding. You want to change the penalty you
Speaker 1: lose in the playoffs. We want to be receiveing. Okay,
Speaker 1: we can't do that, Detroit. Let's just go let's go
Speaker 1: win the division. Let's go win the division. They won
Speaker 1: the division though, didn't they?
Speaker 2: No, they won. They were the number one Sea last year.
Speaker 1: So but they they proposed it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they proposed it because they actually played in
Speaker 2: that final game last year, the Minnesota Vikings versus the
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, and whoever lost was the number five seed
Speaker 2: and whoever won was the number one seed. There was
Speaker 2: just too big of a gap, you know. And that's
Speaker 2: that situation, you know, for two Yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's kind of both deserve to be number one. So
Speaker 2: I don't know it's a good rule change. Maybe it is,
Speaker 2: But I like where it's at. Keep the playoffs how
Speaker 2: it is, you know, I mean how it is. There's
Speaker 2: already everyone makes damn playoffs. There's seven teams now, right,
Speaker 2: seven on each. I remember that when that first came
Speaker 2: in the seventh, You're like, oh, it's.
Speaker 1: You can win. The Green Bay Packers have proposed to
Speaker 1: prohibit any offense player from pushing a teammate who is
Speaker 1: lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap
Speaker 1: immediately at the snap the tush push. They want to
Speaker 1: eliminate the toush. I think it's technically illegal to push
Speaker 1: people from behind.
Speaker 2: I thought it was illegal the whole time I was
Speaker 2: in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They re so was it was it?
Speaker 2: I swear it was illegal to push someone that that
Speaker 2: was carrying the ball when we were playing Julian And
Speaker 2: then that rule got switched that you can push someone
Speaker 2: that's carrying the ball, and then that's how the tush
Speaker 2: push got created.
Speaker 1: I see, I don't know, man, I don't like. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like fundamentally that, Like we're making a rule
Speaker 1: because people can't stop it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I don't like that.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's the game of four football. It's called
Speaker 2: you line up your best eleven guys versus our best
Speaker 2: eleven guys, and you got to stop us moving this
Speaker 2: football from one point to another point. No matter what
Speaker 2: you got to do to do it, you just do it.
Speaker 2: And now they're trying to implement a rule to where
Speaker 2: it would stop them from their techniques and the the
Speaker 2: you know, their game plans and their creativity because they're successful.
Speaker 2: I like the push push. They got to come up
Speaker 2: with ways to stop it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I like it too. If everyone could
Speaker 1: run it, then everyone run it. But we saw Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills try to run it like three times in a
Speaker 1: row and got stuff there you go, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So it's part of execution. They know how
Speaker 1: to execute the play. I don't think they should can
Speaker 1: the play because only one team knows how to run it, right.
Speaker 1: I think the defenses need to get better. Let's move on.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles have proposed grant both teams an opportunity to
Speaker 1: possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession,
Speaker 1: subject to a fifteen minute overtime period in the regular season.
Speaker 1: Basically makes the regular season overtime rules the same as
Speaker 1: the postseason overtime rules. Should it be implicated?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it should not be imp No, it should
Speaker 2: not be implemented. Julian, I like the rules that they're
Speaker 2: different than, you know, than the postseason. You know, the
Speaker 2: regular season is the regular season. I mean, I feel
Speaker 2: like a lot of pro teams, pro leagues have different
Speaker 2: sets of rules. It's like the NHL, you have a shootout,
Speaker 2: you know, once the overtime's over, But when you get
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, there's no such thing as a shootout.
Speaker 2: It's whoever scores next, you know, it's sudden death. I
Speaker 2: like that it's two different scenarios. Because the regular season
Speaker 2: is the regular season, it needs to amp up and
Speaker 2: that amps it up to another level when you get
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. So I like the differential, you know,
Speaker 2: and I don't think it should be implemented. I just
Speaker 2: don't I like where it's at.
Speaker 1: See, I don't mind the regular season overtime rule. I
Speaker 1: just don't like that there's a different rule when the
Speaker 1: playoffs start. So I think the rule should be the same.
Speaker 1: Are we going to keep it this way? Are we
Speaker 1: going to go the other way for all season long?
Speaker 1: Because clearly the forty nine ers two years ago in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, you know what I mean, like that
Speaker 1: whole thing. Did they take the ball? Did they not
Speaker 1: take the ball? Were they thinking it was the regular season?
Speaker 1: Was it the unregular season? Which that shouldn't be a
Speaker 1: problem because we should have people that understand that. But
Speaker 1: I think it'd be better for the player. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because what if you what are they trying to say
Speaker 1: in the regular season they want to end the game
Speaker 1: games quicker? Is it a longer game and over overtime
Speaker 1: in the postseason?
Speaker 2: Potentially, I think that's the play there is that in
Speaker 2: the regular season they don't want it to last the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I just had to talk it out.
Speaker 2: It's hard to already play four quarters and not be
Speaker 2: beat up, you know, the following week.
Speaker 1: So god forbid this happens on a Sunday. We have
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game next. That's a lot, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Us there, Yeah, you talked me into it.
Speaker 1: There you go, No rule change, keep it how it is.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this quick break. It's time
Speaker 1: for a brand new segment where we're going to put
Speaker 1: ourselves in some other dude, choose.
Speaker 2: Some soul searching, if you will. We're breaking down what
Speaker 2: they should do to find success this year.
Speaker 1: I like this, if you were Drake May, what would
Speaker 1: you do to make your craft better this year? Knowing
Speaker 1: what you did last year?
Speaker 2: In Drake Maysho's well, Drake May already had, you know,
Speaker 2: an unbelievable rookie year with not such a great support
Speaker 2: staff around him. I would say, from what the media
Speaker 2: has been saying, I still went out there dominated on
Speaker 2: the field, you know, as a young buck. And if
Speaker 2: I was Drake May, I would be around Josh McDaniels
Speaker 2: as much as possible. I would offer it a carpool
Speaker 2: to work with him. Jules maybe offered the coach's kids
Speaker 2: flag football team, whatever it takes. I would be picking
Speaker 2: the brain of legendary offensive coordinator, Super Bowl winner Josh
Speaker 2: McDaniels as much as I can possibly do it. If
Speaker 2: it's sitting in the hot tub with him after practice,
Speaker 2: in the cold tub, having a beer, whatever it is,
Speaker 2: I'd be picking his brain.
Speaker 1: What I would do?
Speaker 2: What would you do?
Speaker 1: I would do a lot of that stuff. I would.
Speaker 1: I would be very extremely close with Josh and be
Speaker 1: able to talk the language. You guys got to be
Speaker 1: able to finish each other's sentences by the time, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys are starting to call plays to other people.
Speaker 1: So yeah, knowing the offense inside and out film, I
Speaker 1: would live in the film room. Okay, I would live
Speaker 1: in the film room and watch players that succeeded in
Speaker 1: the system. You're about to run, So watch Tom Brady
Speaker 1: old film because that's the offense that you're going to
Speaker 1: run to be able to break down all the you know,
Speaker 1: the protections. You could see conceptually what's going on. Knowing
Speaker 1: the offense is going to be number one, because the faster,
Speaker 1: you know, the offense. The more you get to use
Speaker 1: your athleticism and your God given talent. If you subconsciously
Speaker 1: know what's going on from the defense and your concepts
Speaker 1: and knowing like the back of your hand, then you
Speaker 1: get to use your specialties. That's when your specialties get
Speaker 1: to come in. And he's an athletic guy, and he's
Speaker 1: really good with the ball in his hands and he
Speaker 1: could throw it, so that's when he can start to
Speaker 1: use that flare two. I would work. I would hire
Speaker 1: a coach, a quarterback coach of some sort, to work
Speaker 1: on my feet. There's too many times last year Drake
Speaker 1: May was like falling away from his target. He made
Speaker 1: the throws, but sometimes the ball placement of the throw
Speaker 1: wasn't where it needed to be. And a lot of
Speaker 1: that has to do with your feet. When you get
Speaker 1: your feet cleaned up at the quarterback position, when you're
Speaker 1: on balance and you go nowhere to go with the ball,
Speaker 1: that's when you get your most accurate throws. That's what
Speaker 1: we always saw from Tom, That's what you see from
Speaker 1: the greats. You know, then then you know, with his athleticism,
Speaker 1: there'll be a time or two where he won't have
Speaker 1: his feet. But he'll be able to execute. But when
Speaker 1: you have your feet, that's when you're more accurate. So
Speaker 1: knowing the offense and getting your feet dialed that creates accuracy.
Speaker 1: So that's what I would do. If you were Dan Campbell,
Speaker 1: what would you do?
Speaker 2: Well, all my coordinators left me. So what I would
Speaker 2: do is I would take that coffee ordered Jules. I
Speaker 2: would triple it up. I think it's about what eight
Speaker 2: hundred milligrams of caffeine. I would skyrocket it to twenty
Speaker 2: four hundred milligrams and let that caffeine replace Johnson and Glenn,
Speaker 2: and now he can do the work of all three
Speaker 2: men through the power of coffee.
Speaker 1: You may have replaced Johnson and Glenn, but you also
Speaker 1: had a heart attack. Twenty four hundred milligrams of caffeine.
Speaker 1: Holy schnikes.
Speaker 2: He already has the most ridiculous coffee order in the morning.
Speaker 2: But God bless him. Man, he needs it. He's a
Speaker 2: guy that can handle it.
Speaker 1: What I would do if I was Dan Campbell, I
Speaker 1: would self scout every single fourth down that we win
Speaker 1: for and the situation that we did it in, where
Speaker 1: it was in the game, where it was on the field,
Speaker 1: where our points were where the other team's points were,
Speaker 1: and I'd really try to dial that in and become
Speaker 1: a better decision maker under those high pressure situations if
Speaker 1: I was Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell, the team isn't what
Speaker 1: you were when you first got there, where you had
Speaker 1: to steal a possession or two because you didn't have
Speaker 1: the best offense, or you didn't have this or that.
Speaker 1: This is a winning organization that hash. This is an
Speaker 1: organization that has a lot of fundamental players that can
Speaker 1: go out and win games. You need to start acting
Speaker 1: like that. You don't need to be the sneak attack
Speaker 1: guy anymore. Okay, if you just run the game the
Speaker 1: way you guys can run the game by running the ball,
Speaker 1: play actioning with Jared Goff, and then methodically just killing
Speaker 1: teams down the field with your offense a line, getting
Speaker 1: a stop here or there on defense. I think that's
Speaker 1: what's gonna do best. They need to change their overall
Speaker 1: I feel like Dan Campbell needs to change his overall
Speaker 1: like thinking process. You got to have the chip on
Speaker 1: the edge on the shoulder. We all have the chip
Speaker 1: on the shoulder. But you have to evolve as a coach,
Speaker 1: just like players have to evolve.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Not each team is the same team every year, So
Speaker 1: the things that you did two years ago with your
Speaker 1: team you may not have to do this year with
Speaker 1: your team or the year you're going into. Every team
Speaker 1: is different. He needs to learn his team and then
Speaker 1: so he can go in and have non emotional decisions
Speaker 1: when it comes to call in those fourth down plays.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Well, I still think he's gonna need a
Speaker 2: triple up his caffeine and order in his coffee order rule.
Speaker 2: He's definitely ought to be able to do that too.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. All right, what if your Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1: What would you do?
Speaker 2: If I was Aaron Rodgers? What would I do? Right
Speaker 2: now as we're speaking as he is, he's still a
Speaker 2: free agent. He hasn't signed with a team, correct. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're ready to go,
Speaker 2: and then I would do my darkness retreat inside one
Speaker 2: of the walk in freezers of the Primanny Bros. Sandwich
Speaker 2: Shop and become a Pittsburgian right on the spot and
Speaker 2: be welcomed by the city coming out frozen eating a
Speaker 2: Primanny sandwich. I like that, and me too, Thank you
Speaker 2: to us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe freeze away all those negative jujus he has. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that too, That's where I was going the Jet jujuws.
Speaker 1: If I was Aaron Rodgers, I wouldn't want to get
Speaker 1: in the same predicament and as they got into when
Speaker 1: I was with the Jets, where you get there kind
Speaker 1: of little lay, you don't really practice that much, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know, the season comes
Speaker 1: out and you know, we're not looking like we need
Speaker 1: to be looking because we look like ruff We're on
Speaker 1: the same page. Okay, wherever he's gonna sign, I would
Speaker 1: sign as soon as possible so you can learn the
Speaker 1: players around the team that you're gonna be playing with.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 1: I think if you watch last year on the Jets,
Speaker 1: I think week eight on Aaron Rodgers played pretty damn
Speaker 1: good football. And that's because he started to learn his players.
Speaker 1: I feel. That's what I feel. You know, I think
Speaker 1: time on task, he started learning his players, and they
Speaker 1: started to look like they were kind of on the
Speaker 1: same page more and more each week after eight, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So sign somewhere as soon as possible,
Speaker 1: get in there and work with these young football players.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have two really good receivers. In with the Steelers.
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna have two really good receivers. But
Speaker 1: those two really good receivers are only gonna be really
Speaker 1: good if you guys know each other. So like, if
Speaker 1: you want to play, I would sign with the Steelers
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea too, Jules. I like both of
Speaker 2: ours and.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 2: Well.
