00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: if you've seen the schedule. Uh, I guess I'm gonna

00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,280

00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: preview show. Uh, just some things, just some excitement, go

00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: through all the divisions. Uh, some you know, coaches on

11
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: the hot seat, gotta do that, hit some players that

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm very fascinated to watch. And then uh, we'll just

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: get ready for this big week we got. Football is

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: officially back, and as you guys now know on the volume,

15
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: and I thought a lot about it last week, Like

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I did a good job articulating.

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: Just I'm excited and how cool it is what Collins doing,

18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he's I I feel very very

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: fortunate that in this landscape of of what we do,

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he liked me. I mean I really do.

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: And I also admire uh, how he's doing it. I mean,

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys. I was last week,

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: I was watching some of the Jay Boy Show. It's

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: the SEC show guy that he hired. It was good.

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean it was that. That's just he's given a

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of people that I had never heard of, younger

27
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: people opportunities. Alex Monico, who does a gambling show. I've

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: been on his show before, and I think sometimes sometimes

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: bigger guys, you know, they lose sight of that. And uh,

30
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: I I I'm included in that umbrella. I mean without him,

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people you listening would never have heard

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: of me or hell, I wouldn't even have this podcast.

33
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: So he he's done a lot for a lot of people,

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: and he continued to do this, you know, with this

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: kind of forward vision. He's not paying me to say this,

36
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: but uh, it's just and it's cool, you know, as

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: someone who enjoys you know, my other podcast basically just

38
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: a partner in their own business. We run it same

39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: deal here. You know, it's it's cool to be a

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: part of things from the ground floor. Things that you

41
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: gotta establish it and make happen. You know, it's on you.

42
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: No one's gonna hold your hand. You just got to

43
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: get the job done. And hopefully, you know, I play

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: a part in helping him build this thing up. And uh,

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: obviously he's uh, he's the Tom Brady of the group.

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: You know. Hell, I just hope to be like Chris Godwin,

47
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, throw me the rock in the red zone.

48
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully not Antonio Brown, maybe maybe Devin White, you know,

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: make some tackles. But as we'll see Tampa this week,

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: probably blast the Cowboys. But you know, I want to

51
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: start with something I've been saying for a while. So

52
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend too much time on this, but

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: the anticipation, it's impossible to quantify this, the anticipation. No,

54
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: no middlecoff mail bag also on this show, but we

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: plan on growing that some some whispers about some ways

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: to grow that bad boy. But the anticipation of this

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: two thousand, twenty one season, to me feels like the

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: biggest in the history of my life. Now. There are

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: so many different factors, right, the explosion of the NFL

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: over the last decade, the way we gamble on the sport,

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: something I'm sure many of you do, something that I

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: know I do. Obviously, it's a big part of the

63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: volume sports with fan Duel, It's a part of anyone

64
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: that talks about football now is involved with gambling. Now,

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: We've always been gambling, at least people like me and

66
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure many people listening. But the integration of it

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: into mainstream is going to change the game. Obviously, daily

68
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: fantasy and just fantasy in general has been heavily, heavily, uh,

69
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: I'd say influence that the growth of football. And I

70
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: get people d m ing me all the time asking

71
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: me fantasy football questions. I'm a daily fantasy player. I

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: couldn't play the year. I would never want to get

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: stuck with a player that ends up being bad or

74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: against ends up getting hurt. Not my style, but I

75
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: do appreciate what it means to the sport, and I

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: understand when someone d MS me like, hey man, I'm

77
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: in trouble. I'm playing Tom Brady this week, or hey man,

78
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't love I gotta play Davante Adams and Keenan

79
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Allen this week. Am I in trouble? It keeps a

80
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: lot of people in different regions of this country locked

81
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: into other locked into other teams, like as a San

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants fan, I'm not watching the Red Sox, right,

83
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm not watching the Cups. And most if you're a

84
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: New York Knicks fan, like you're probably not watching that

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: much of the Lakers, right, You're not watching that much

86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: of like the Orlando Magic. But in football, even the

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: shittiest teams, if you're playing Trevor Lawrence or you're playing

88
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna probably bring someone up with a Texans,

89
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: but I don't even know who that would be. If

90
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: you're playing Jared Goff, you're gonna keep an eye on

91
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: that game. And then with the red zone, it's it's

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: truly incredible where we are with technology. I say it

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: all the time with myself, like I would not be

94
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: able to do this if it wasn't two I could

95
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: be the same human being and it was two thousand six.

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do. I probably have

97
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: to go sell insurance. Like the NFL wouldn't have been

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: able to be as big without the Internet, without the

99
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: influx of some of these rules. It's just the perfect timing,

100
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: it really is. You know, it's just the bezos, you know,

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he benefits a lot from the Internet. You know,

102
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: he could have the same freaking idea in like nineteen

103
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: eighties seven, and it wouldn't have been as strong as

104
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: he was implemented in like the late nineties. Right, So

105
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: the gambling, the fantasy aspect, the amount of teams, like obviously,

106
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you truly break it down, there's probably

107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: seven eight teams that can win the Super Bowl, but

108
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: there are twenty teams at least who you just go

109
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: into the season and if you're a Vikings fan, if

110
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: you're a Carolina Panther fan, all the teams in the

111
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: NFC East, you know, we can make the playoffs. We

112
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: could make the playoffs. The NBA, I mean kind of

113
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: has that they've added the playing game baseball does not, right,

114
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how many teams in football this season? Do

115
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: you go they suck? Texans for sure? Do you see

116
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: that the way they did the uh the depth chart.

117
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: They have Tyrod Taylor, they have no second string quarterback,

118
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: then they have Davis Mills as the third and then

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: under other Deshaun Watson. They're gonna suck. They're gonna be awful.

120
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: The Lions probably are gonna be very good. The Jags

121
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: could be the struggle bus. Like, those are three teams

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: that are just bad. Now there are gonna be other

123
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: bad teams, but we think they could be decent like

124
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: the Cards. The Cards could draft in the top ten

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: or they can win ten games, and I think that

126
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: adds to a lot of urgency. Um, it's just the

127
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: easiest sport to consume. There's one game a week per team.

128
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Unless you got to buy a week, you don't gotta

129
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: watch you know, five six. You can casually come in

130
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: and out during the week and then your home on

131
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: Sundays when the game's on, sitting there on the couch,

132
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: eating some food, relaxing, chilling, and uh, hanging out with

133
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: your feet up. So I'm really excited for this season.

134
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for the drama. The NFL has become

135
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: the ultimate reality television show. Think about that. Really, the

136
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: two true guys leading it are guys that have been

137
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: in our life. Tom has been in our life for

138
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: twenty plus years. Rogers been in our life really longer

139
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: than he's been in the NFL, because I vividly remember

140
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: when he had the game against USC I think he

141
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: had twenty three straight completions and then it was like,

142
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: was he going to be the number one pick? Like

143
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: he's been a reality television star now for sixteen seventeen years,

144
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and they are Tom's arguably the best quarterback of all

145
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: time and Rogers, I mean, on it's all said and done,

146
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: what if he wins another m v P and another

147
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl, he might be a top five quarterback of

148
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: all time. And those guys are playing a role now

149
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: with my Homes and some of these other young stars,

150
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: like the perfect combination. If you were writing a television script,

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of how you do it. You got some

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: famous coaches, you got some up and coming coaches, you

153
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: got some big personalities. You got then you got a

154
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: factor in these crazy COVID rules. But the fans are back. Um,

155
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: it's just the anticipation now. The thing was sports, you know, anticipation, hope, hype,

156
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Eventually the whistle blows and you gotta

157
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: fucking play and you're either gonna be good or you're

158
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. This season is either gonna be really

159
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: entertaining or it's not right. I I'm hoping it is

160
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for it. But we'll see right now.

161
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario. Last year, no fans, Everything was still

162
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. But as you saw this weekend. In

163
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: college football, having fans around is important, you know. I

164
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: I noticed that with the Olympics, no fans like this

165
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: is boring. I remember last year with baseball with no

166
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: fans like this sucks. The basketball the bubble was terrible,

167
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: historically low ratings. Like it's I'm a big golf guy.

168
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Watching these golf tournaments with fans adds a huge element

169
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: of just excitement, people interacting right, and people reacting, people

170
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: going nuts like that's fun. That's a huge part of sports,

171
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: huge part of college sports, and a huge part of

172
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of these NFL like having Kansas

173
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: City sold out or seat Seattle then enough fans last year,

174
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo enough fans last year. I mean, those are two

175
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: of the best home field advantages in the league, and

176
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: those teams are good. Can you imagine Buffalo what it's

177
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna look like this year. Places to be going nuts,

178
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: can't freaking wait. I mean, it's gonna it's gonna be

179
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: really really fun. Uh, my excitement level is really high. Okay,

180
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's just dive right in. We'll go

181
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: division by division, a couple of quick thoughts, and I'll

182
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: just pick a team. I'll pick the team who I

183
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: think is gonna win the division. We're gonna start East Coast,

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: work our way west. We'll do NFC and a f

185
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: C in both divisions. Start with the NFC East. I

186
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: do think the Eagles are being slept on a little bit.

187
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: I their roster is better than people think, and I

188
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: think hurts listen, I might have to wear that one

189
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: might be better than we all thought. Now, I don't

190
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: know the court, I don't know the coach, but I

191
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: think they have a chance to be a stronger factor

192
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: in that division. Then I think most people assume I

193
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: do not trust the Cowboys at all. I don't think

194
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is gonna be a very good defensive course.

195
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: I think their defense is gonna be terrible, and they're

196
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: margin for air with Dak Like I mean, is can

197
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: you stay healthy? The Giants Daniel Jones might not be good.

198
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Washington football team to win that division.

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I think back to back years, Ron rivera winner. Uh

200
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: Now Fitzpatrick, like, can he keep the magic going? If

201
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: they gotta go to Heineke? Is he any good? I

202
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: know he looked decent in the playoff game, but you

203
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: might be able to win this division at eight and nine.

204
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Washington football team the

205
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: a f C East. I think you gotta give Buffalo

206
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: the respect. Big Sean McDermott guy, Uh, just a disciplined winner.

207
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: I mean that's John McDermott is a good football coach.

208
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Him in is GM. They've built a very, very good

209
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: team and they have a star quarterback, so I'm gonna

210
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: pick them, though. I think the Patriots could be a factor.

211
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Their defense is gonna be really good. They have the

212
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: best coach of all time. It's a coaching league. They

213
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: have a quarterback now who is dramatically better in theory

214
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: than the guy last year. The guy last year was

215
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: terrible and they still went seven and nine. They've added

216
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of offensive pieces. Their offensive line is good,

217
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: they have good running backs, They've got two good tight ends,

218
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: and the receivers are improved. So I think that that

219
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: race with Buffalo and the Patriots is gonna be closer

220
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: than you think. I'm gonna go Buffalo. Quarterback league. They

221
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: got a much better quarterback. Let's go to the South, Uh,

222
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: the NFC South. This one's pretty easy. I don't see

223
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: how you don't pick Tampa. I think Tampa has a

224
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: chance to win fourteen fifteen games. It's gotta be, on paper,

225
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: one of the best teams Brady's ever played on. They

226
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: have a loaded coaching staff, their defensive coordinators to start

227
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: their defenses loaded. They're gonna be good. We all acknowledge that.

228
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: To me, the sleeper in that division would be Arolina

229
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: if rules really as good as you know all the

230
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: hype over all the years. I know, I have a

231
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: bunch of buddies that went in his his college programs

232
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: and love the guy, Joe Brady. You know everyone, uh

233
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: everyone annointed him a couple of years ago. You know

234
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: it's time to see every buddy. You got some offensive weapons, right,

235
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: you make them, big boy cash. Now you got a quarterback.

236
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see what you got? I mean in theory,

237
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: got a quarterback? Can Sam Donald any good? I think

238
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: the Saints will be feisty and uh I think Atlanta

239
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: is gonna stink the a f C South. This is

240
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: clearly a two horse race, right, Texans might not win

241
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: a game the Jags. It's gonna be a long year

242
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: for urban This ain't Ohio, stated Florida buddy uh So

243
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: it's between India and Tennessee, and last year, I mean

244
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: it was just right down to the wire. Tennessee ended

245
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: up winning the division. But one reason they won the

246
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: division is because Rivers. Remember that first week was not

247
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: that good against the Jacks through a bad pick late

248
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: and they lost and that was I mean, that turned

249
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: out to be the difference they lost to the Jacks,

250
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: who won one game there. One win was the Colts

251
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Week one. I I'm a big Vrabel guy. I've known

252
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: John Robinson their GM for a long time. Their offense

253
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: is stacked Julio A. J. Brown and Derrick Henry. Are

254
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Uh Tannie Hill's a good player Vrabel

255
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: stud But I think I'm gonna go Indie. I think

256
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: their team is more well balanced. The Titans haven't been

257
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: good on defense, and I know they drafted the corner

258
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: who has the bad back. Uh. They've taken some pass

259
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: rushers over the last couple of years that they if

260
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be great in the secondary, that you

261
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: have to have a really good pass rush. They tried

262
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: to get Clowney last year. I mean they got clowney,

263
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: but they tried to get something out of them. They didn't,

264
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go with the Colts. Frank Ballard, I

265
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: do think that if Carson can stay off the COVID list,

266
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: their offense should be really good. I mean, Michael Pittman

267
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: is a really good player, Jonathan Taylor is going to

268
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: be a star in the league. Their offensive line is legit.

269
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: I know they gotta figure out their left tackle situation.

270
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: But Eric Fisher will be back, and their defense is awesome.

271
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go to the Colts. But to me,

272
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: that's that's a coin flip division the NFC North. I mean,

273
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: they got arguably the best player on the planet, Aaron Rodgers.

274
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: It looks like him and Gudakin's hugged maked up a

275
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: little bit. Getting Randall Cobs smart move. I'll get the Packers.

276
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else were they gonna do.

277
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: Tell Rodgers no, but you just make everyone a little happy.

278
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Get Randall there, start capitulating to some of Rogers demands

279
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: and everyone can kind of hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

280
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: Their team is stacked. This team like, to me, they're

281
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: they're probably there there might pick to win the NFC.

282
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Packers. Chiefs that's my pick. But that

283
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: was my pick last year, and they kind of, you know,

284
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: let's face it, ship the bet a little bit at home.

285
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: But Rodgers is in the peak of his powers in

286
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: an offense that's a cheat code. They have good running backs,

287
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: they have the best wide receiver in the league. Uh

288
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: get Randall Cobb backs. You get good vibes. You know

289
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: where if you watch Rodgers, he's big on vibes. Him

290
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: and Laflour get along. I think their defense should be better.

291
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: I think the Packers have a chance to win like

292
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: fifteen games. Okay, let me tell you about my friends

310
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: one is tough. The Bengals are not good. I'm gonna

311
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: short the Steelers a little bit, and then when you

312
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: short them like we're talking eight nine wins kind of team.

313
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: I just think Roethlisberger is just it's gonna November and

314
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: December could be long. They might be, you know, six

315
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: and two, but I could see them down the stretch

316
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: like he's not at this point in time in his career.

317
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: I think the cold is gonna be difficult for him.

318
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: The Ravens, I mean they're just quarterback at any moment,

319
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Lamarck and miss games and clearly their offensive weapons are

320
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: have just been in and out because they get hurt

321
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot. The wide receivers. Now, the Ravens are gonna

322
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: be good. But I'm gonna go. I'm just I believe

323
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: in Kevin Stefanski. I am a huge Kevin Stefanski fan.

324
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Their roster is loaded, they have the best, arguably the

325
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: best roster in the league. Their roster is fantastic. Can

326
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback maintain his high level of play in that offense?

327
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: I'd say it's very possible. And Stefanski might just be

328
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: one of the better young coaches that he kind of

329
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: gotta George Clooney. Look, Stefanski ivy League guy, head coach.

330
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: NFL team's got a lot going for him thurs out.

331
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good play caller too. So I'm gonna

332
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: go with the Browns. Think about that, Brownies, you want

333
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: a playoff game? Last year beat Pittsburgh and now a

334
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of people, myself included, I just think realistically picky

335
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: to win the division. It's pretty cool. Times times have changed. Uh,

336
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: the NFC West, I think there's a three horse race.

337
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Arizona is in the conversation. Uh don't

338
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: trust them. Coach isn't good enough, quarterbacks not I just

339
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: don't trust the quarterback when it gets really hard. Uh,

340
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: you could pick all three teams. You know, the Niners

341
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: won it basically, the Rams Niners in Seattle have been

342
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: the last three teams to win this division. Seattle won

343
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: it last year. Even though I I just look at

344
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: their roster, their defense is gonna hold. I don't know,

345
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I'm gonna go with the

346
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: Rams ad Matt Stafford. Their defense is still stacked even

347
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: though they've lost some players, but their offense should be

348
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: dramatically better. The Niners quarterbacks that suation like, don't totally

349
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: trust Jimmy g Trey Lance is already a little banged up.

350
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't totally shock me if any of these

351
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: three teams win it. But I'm gonna go with the

352
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Rams and the f C West probably like the NFC North,

353
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: easiest division to pick. Cheez, I mean, are we kidding ourselves.

354
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs I'll be surprised if they're not

355
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: in there want to be third straight Super Bowl. I

356
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: mean they have mahomes loaded offense, a really good defense,

357
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches in decades. Uh, They're just

358
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: good now. I do think the Chargers could make some noise.

359
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: Chargers roster is excellent, and they have a star young quarterback.

360
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: But they have a coach who's never been a head

361
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: coach in the league. He's only been in the NFL,

362
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: I think six years, but people like him. Smart guy. Um.

363
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs, even if the Charges have a

364
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: good the Charge can have a good year and win

365
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: the win eleven games and be a wild card and

366
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: be three games back in the Chiefs. Like that's how

367
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: to me. The Chiefs and the Packers and the and

368
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Tampa are just kind of the clear high end like that.

369
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: It's just like these teams are gonna be good because

370
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: the Ramps, like, we'll see Stafford right Indie, It's like, Okay,

371
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: let's see what Carson's got. Even Buffalo, it's like, are

372
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: you really that complete? Uh, let's see it. So I'm

373
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: gonna go Packers, Chiefs, but this should be fun. Coaches

374
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. Here are my top three coaches

375
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: on the hot seat, and I think there are several.

376
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell. Some guys have close relationships with

377
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: the owner. But anytime you get a new general manager

378
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Elway steps down, they bring in General Patton from Minnesota

379
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: and Fangio gets a year under him, But if they

380
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs, he's going to fire him and

381
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: he'll hire his own coach. That's what's gonna happen. It's

382
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: why I didn't love Fangio. Who's gonna be my number

383
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: one coach on the hot seat? Making Teddy Bridge out

384
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. He took a conservative route with a

385
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: guy who's not good enough to overcome just the pressure

386
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be on this team. I just I just

387
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: don't see it. So I would imagine the Denver Broncos

388
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: have a new head coach next year because I actually

389
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: think Denver has a really good roster now. Fan Joe

390
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: is an excellent defensive coordinator. Excellent I mean, if he

391
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: hits the open market next year, someone pay him like

392
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: four million dollars to be their defensive coordinator. Is he

393
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: a head coach? I think it's probably his last year. UH.

394
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: One organization that I think everyone is on the hot

395
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: seat is Arizona and Steve Kim has gotten to hire

396
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: three coaches. That's usually the tipping point, that's when it ends, right.

397
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: I remember Trent Balky with he got three coaches and

398
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: then I was like, yeah, you know, you're not getting

399
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: a fourth You're just not getting a fourth head coach. Uh.

400
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: He tried to do the invoked thing, hir an offensive coach.

401
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: He just hired the wrong one, right, Sean McVeigh, Kyle

402
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: Shanahan's to face Ski Lafloor. They're not all created equal, right,

403
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: there's Pat Shermer's and Kingsbury's. Like, he just got the

404
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: wrong guy. He got a guy who, let's face it's

405
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: a little over his head in the league and the

406
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: league last year, he should have walked into the playoffs

407
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: and he got punched in the mouth because ultimately his

408
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: team soft and they made a decision the right one

409
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: because Kyler is way better than Josh Rosen, but to

410
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: go all in on Kyler and last year he just

411
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. He was the number one overall

412
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. And they have a ton of

413
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: talent on the team this year, but the division they play,

414
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: and he's clearly the third best coach, or excuse me,

415
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: the fourth best coach. I I just I know people

416
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL think that this job for both guys,

417
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: the general manager and the head coach could be open,

418
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, early December could be a little

419
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta style, and then my last guy would be I'm torn, Like,

420
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I know everyone thinks Matt Naggie's on the hot seat.

421
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: What I would imagine happening, especially if Justin Fields showed

422
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: a little something, I think Ryan Pace would get fired,

423
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: and then a little Fangio style with General Patton, like

424
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: Naggie would get another year under the new GM. That

425
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: would be my guess. If you just look, you know,

426
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: the Bears aren't some overreacting organization typically, So my third

427
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: guy on this hot seat is actually another guy in

428
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: that division who's had a lot of success, but he's older,

429
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: he's a little bit of a curmudgeon, and he's a

430
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: defensive guy. Like, let's face, it's an offensive league. So

431
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: I think that Mike Zimmer, if they missed the playoffs,

432
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: will be fired, and so I would go Kingsbury, excuse me, Fangio,

433
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: Kingsbury Zimmer like, if those guys missed the playoffs, they're

434
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: all fired. I know that for I think we all

435
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: can agree on that. Now with Matt Naggy, like if

436
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: they went nine and eight and they missed the playoffs

437
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields like, is he getting fired? I don't know,

438
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Like McCarthy. Is he on the hot seat, like I

439
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: would fire him if he missed the playoffs? Well, Jerry,

440
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: probably not. He's been pretty loyal, right, So I think

441
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: we can look at all these things. The Cardinals, the

442
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: entire league thinks they missed. They're gone. League thinks Zimmer

443
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: Mrs Gone. Same with Fanjio. So I'm excited to uh

444
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: watch this all play out. My sleeper team, as I mentioned,

445
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: would probably be the Panthers rule Brady the quarterback. I

446
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: don't even think the Chargers necessarily are a sleeper sleeper

447
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: team with Justin Herbert Keenan Allen Derwin, James back, um

448
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: ton of weapons. Both these two teams, I'm I'm very

449
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: very interested to watch. Team who could fall off has

450
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: to be the Miami Dolphins. They don't trust the quarterback.

451
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: I mean they would replace them at a heartbeat if

452
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: they could. Uh. I just think they won ten games

453
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: last year. Is there a chance they win like seven

454
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: this year? And it's just like what's this? Like? I

455
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: I would probably pick them to finish third in that division.

456
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: I would I would go Buffalo, New England than them.

457
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Then obviously the Jets, Uh Pittsburgh. And when I say

458
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: fall off like eight nine. Now, Tomins never had an

459
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: under five hundred year, so but in eight nine in

460
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is like, uh, you know, the Jaguars to win season,

461
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: that would be the equivalent. And then some players, I

462
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: think we're all really anticipating Matt Stafford with Sean McVeigh.

463
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: That's just fun. Like I want to see this guy who,

464
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: let's face it, is polarizing. Some people think he's really

465
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: good and got screwed by the Lions. Other people think,

466
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, a decade in like, we've seen it, we

467
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: know what he is. It's not all the Lions fault.

468
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where I stand. I know I'm a

469
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford fan, but I hear both sides. And now

470
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: he's on a real big time team with a big

471
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: boy head coach and a team that's just all they've

472
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: done is one. I mean, they want a playoff game

473
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: last year on the road with Jared Goff. So you know,

474
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: I I can't wait to watch this guy. I think

475
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good m VP candidate. Uh. To me,

476
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: if I was betting on the m v P, would

477
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: be Stafford or Josh Allen. Just factoring in the odds

478
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: and then one guy who doesn't really get talked about anymore,

479
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: but he was one of my favorite players in the

480
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: NFL for two or three years. I thought he fell

481
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: off a little bit last year. Is Khalil Mack. Like

482
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: I want to watch Khalil Mack dominate again, Like can

483
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: he have a fifteen sixteen sacks season, be like a

484
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year. I mean, he's one of

485
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: the highest paid players in league history right non quarterback.

486
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: He's one of the great all time talents, and they're

487
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna need them. Their defense isn't gonna be as good

488
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: their offense. Who knows the offensive line could suck this

489
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: guy on some bad Raider teams helped them compete to

490
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs because he was just an all

491
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: time unstoppable force. Like I want to see that Khalil

492
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Mack again. I want to see that guy that when

493
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: he lines up like you ain't stopping him. We're in

494
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: any given game, he can have three or four sacks

495
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: and maybe that guy's gone. I don't know, but I

496
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: I really hope we kind of get a throwback Khalil

497
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: Max season because he's getting up there in age a

498
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: little bit a lot of wear and tearror. So he's

499
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: definitely a guy, maybe even a sleeper depending on the

500
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: odds for Defensive Player of the Year. But that that's

501
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: just a little season preview, is a little little teaser

502
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: as we head on into uh into the two thousand

503
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: twenty one NFL season. I'm glad it's here. The off

504
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: season kind of wears me out. Hypotheticals and just talking

505
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of bs, Like I like reacting to the game.

506
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: I like having tangible things to have opinions on. And

507
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: that's what's fun about free agency, fun about once the

508
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: draft actually comes, or who you like or who you don't.

509
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: But then you get in the off season, like how

510
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: good this team gonna be? And it's fun. But I

511
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: can make all these picks all I want, Like, you

512
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: gotta play, right, All these coaches and players can talk

513
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: like eventually the ball is gonna kick off this this week, Thursday,

514
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday. You gotta put up a shut up, right,

515
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: It's just kind of time to get the job done.

516
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: All these coaches put in a ton of hours, scouts,

517
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: the g MS put in all these hours. Now it's

518
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: just time to play. It's just it's time to play.

519
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: See what you got See if you've improved on your

520
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: younger players, See if you're veterans still got it. See

521
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: how dynamic your coaches are. One of the funnest parts

522
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: to me about the NFL, the that I truly love

523
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: is kind of the chess match between coaches, you know,

524
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: kind of playing Uh, both guys on either side, the coordinators,

525
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: going at it who is smarter because you one guy

526
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: can say you worked a hundred hours, the other guy

527
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: can say you worked a hundred and ten. At the

528
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, none of us watching the game

529
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: really give a ship. Do you know what you're doing

530
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: calling plays? You can be like, you can be the

531
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: worst play caller ever and tell me how hard you work.

532
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't care what I tell you. You're wasting your time.

533
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Do something different, you know, go home. It ain't working, buddy.

534
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of the coaches in this

535
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: league that are great work a lot and they just

536
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: it all comes down to Sunday and uh, can your

537
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: guys execute the game plan? And that's what's great about

538
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: the sport of football is every week looks a little different,

539
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: right because your opponents so different. It's it's a sport

540
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: so dependent on the opponent. Uh, it's not. You know,

541
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: in baseball and basketball, you just kind of roll out

542
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: the ball every week, at least until the playoffs, just

543
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: because the nature of the sport. In football, there is

544
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: a gap between every game where you put a ton

545
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: of effort and time and urgency and you know, brain

546
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: cells behind trying to get the best plan to attack

547
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: your opponent. And as we've seen historically, no one's better

548
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: in Belichick. You know, I think guys like Andy Reid

549
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: and Sean Payton have been the cream of the crop

550
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: on offense. Now it's like Ken Sean McVeigh and Kyle

551
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 1: Shanahan and some of these guys enter that Matt Lafleur

552
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: enter this conversation, and then what's also great about the

553
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: coaching profession is like, can some young guys throw their

554
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: hat in the ring? Well Flour's brother with the Jets,

555
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: Like what do they look like? Uh, Joe Brady with

556
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Like you can really kind of I wouldn't

557
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: say resurrect your career, but kind of put yourself on

558
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: the map in the NFL. In the NFL. So it's

559
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: just it's an exciting time. It's a profession that I

560
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: have the utmost respect for. Not to get cheesey or anything,

561
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: but like, how hard it is to be an NFL coach,

562
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: How hard it is to be an NFL player. That

563
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: ship is hard, and it's hard to be a I know,

564
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: we get college coach. It's hard to be a coach man,

565
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: it really is. They get paid a lot of money.

566
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trying to like feel sorry for

567
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: him or anything. They all get compensated. They're making six

568
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: figs minimum. I mean, coordinator are all making seven. It's

569
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: a it's a premium profession when it comes to cash, right,

570
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: It's it's the Wall Street of sports. In baseball, they

571
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: don't pay coaches anymore. In basketball, the head coach gets

572
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: paid unless you're a famous assistant. In football, the running

573
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: back coaches in the SEC make you know. So it's

574
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: you get all paid a lot of money, but if

575
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: you do not perform, player to players make even more,

576
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: you get cut, you get fired. There is a lot

577
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: on the line every season, there's so much cash after

578
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: they don't even care. They'll fire depending on how long

579
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: is your contract is. They'll pay you to go away,

580
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: which you know, as someone that got paid to go

581
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: away for like three months. It was pretty cool. And

582
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: trust me, I was not making like a million dollars

583
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: at the time. But it's cool to get checks to network.

584
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: But you know, any that's not what you ultimately you

585
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: want in life. Get paid to stay hon even though

586
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, as you've seen around the country, a

587
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: lot of people ain't going back to work. Uh. Coaches

588
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: do though they're not. They're not the laziest bunch. They're

589
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: just addicted to football. And I think in some form

590
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: of fashion, we all are in a weird way. If

591
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, you you really like the sport,

592
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: and uh, I couldn't be more excited. So see guys,

593
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: I guess to see you guys tomorrow right now, have

594
