00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,840

00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: teams evolve over the course of the season. Were some

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: of the young guys that we've been studying for the

Speaker 1: going to believe, finish up our previews. We've done every division.

00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: We just have the NFC and a f C West,

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: so we're gonna hit that and uh, in just a

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: little bit, we do have a guest, Jordan Palmer, our

20

Speaker 1: don't know his his background, you know Carson Palmer's brother,

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Jordan's played in the NFL for a long time and

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: has really emerged in one of the top quarterback gurus

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word out there, who's worked

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: with everybody from Sam Donald and Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson,

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, you name it. He's He's spent a lot

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: of time with a lot of the top quarterbacks that

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: are currently in the NFL, as well as some of

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: the top guys in college. So we're gonna pick his

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: brain on what to expect from both these college players

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: as they're coming up as well as some of these

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL right now. So get a chance

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: to talk to him. Looking forward to that. And then Buck,

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of news we need to jump

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: to here at the top. Yeah, a bunch of news,

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: and I think we should started off right away with

37
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: this has been the biggest story, uh, throughout the offseason.

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott agreanted terms six year, ninety MILLIONAILL the contract

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: extension that makes him the NFL's highest paid running back.

40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Um DJ. Look, it has been one of those things

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: that has been talked about, has been debated about the

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: value of running backs and how you valued them, should

43
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: you ever pay one. The Dallas Cowboys are going to

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: counterculture and saying Zekel is our best player. We're going

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: to pay him as such, and they decided to kind

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: of write a big check to number twenty one and

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: make them the Highes paper running back. What do your thoughts, Well,

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: first of all, I just here's the thing on the contracts, man,

49
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: is you can get numbers to say anything, right, So

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: you can, and we said this. When this deal is

51
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna get down, people are gonna it's some aspect of it.

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: They're going to be able to say it's the best

53
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: in history. Right, however you want to slice that, what

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: I think is funny. I don't know why. I don't know.

55
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I just find it a little bit interesting that the

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: difference between an extension and a new contract. I don't

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: know if everybody, the average fan like here's that or

58
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: understands what that is. This is now so it goes

59
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: out over eight years, and I'm sure when you get

60
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: to the fine print of this contract, the Cowboys can

61
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: get out of it within three years, as my guests,

62
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: But so if I'm doing the math. Buck, it's eight years.

63
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Now A hundred and three million is the total of

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: his money. He got five years new with ninety right,

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: so the average gets sold as five years ninety million,

66
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: right fift. But I'm like, I mean, I'm not the

67
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: smartest guy in the world, but one oh three, I

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: got my calculatory years twelve point eight seven five, Like,

69
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: im I missings? What am I missing here? Like, that's

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: that's it's an extension. It's it's more years. You you

71
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: amortize that over it. I'm like, twelve point eight seven five, Like,

72
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: it's just you can get whatever number you want to

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: get to that you can sell and you can you

74
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: can claim I got the best This or that happens

75
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: with all these contracts. But that's why I just find

76
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of some of the stuff is kind of funny

77
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: to me. It is funny to me. It's funny that

78
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: he signed extension. Kind of reminded me of Ladini Thomason

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: back in the day when he signed at I mean,

80
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: it might have been a seven year extension with the Chargers.

81
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: And part of the reasons so everyone understands the reason

82
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: you stretched these contracts out because over the life of

83
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the deal to guarantee money. The signing bonus is chopped

84
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: up by the number years on the deal. So by

85
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: extending this deal, they're able to really divide it up

86
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: by six or eight years, and so it makes it

87
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: easier for them to fit it into the cab. Zeke

88
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: timately gets what he wants. He gets forty five million

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: in guarantees, which puts him right there, and so the

90
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: rest of it is monopoly money. The rest of it

91
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: is fluff. We'll see if he ever gets to the

92
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: end of it. So it looks good on paper, but

93
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he was able to

94
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: get to forty five million dollars that he wanted and

95
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: that was the most important part for him. Yeah, that's

96
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Look, and that's why while the salary cap,

97
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: you can say, levels the playing field will different organizations

98
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: have different amounts of cash on hand, you know, and

99
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: nobody has more cash on hand than Dallas Cowboys, um,

100
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: save maybe I guess you could say the Rams, uh

101
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: when you look at ownership there, um. But to be

102
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: able to to give that guaranteed money upfront, because that's

103
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: what you've got to deposit. An s girl right now,

104
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: you gotta have that cash, you gotta have those guarantees.

105
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: So uh so, to me, that's why there is a

106
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: little disparity there in the NFL, even though you do

107
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: have a salary cap um. But um, look, I also

108
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: found it interesting, um and we said it. Jerry Jones talked,

109
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, so tough. You know, you reminded me of

110
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: do you know those parents, you know, the parents Buck

111
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: that are I call him suggestive parents, Like hey, I

112
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: really appreciate it if you wouldn't climb on the sofa, Johnny,

113
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, there's like people there's parents that

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: like they have hard fast rules, and there's like suggestive

115
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: parents like I I just took all this like, hey,

116
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, we don't you don't need a rushing title

117
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: champion to win a super Bowl. And it was always talking.

118
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: We all kept coming back like they're eventually gonna pay this. Dude.

119
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: There's no way Jerry Jones is going to go into

120
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: the start of the season and not have Zeko Eliott

121
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: here when he thinks he's got a chance to win

122
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and exactly the way it ended up.

123
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: So now the bigger thing is do you play him?

124
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Do you play him in week one or do you wait, um,

125
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: because it is a marathon and not I said no,

126
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: I said, don't play. But they're gonna play him, they

127
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: will play him. I wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't neither. I

128
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: would I would go really really man, I would air

129
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: on the side of caution with him, because what you

130
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: don't want to have as a soft tissue injury or

131
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: an ankle or something that just kind of drags it

132
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: out and prevents him from being the guy that you're

133
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: paying him to be, which is he needs to be

134
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: to workhorse, the dominant player, um, the guy that kind

135
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: of carries the offense. I would see if I could

136
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: hold him out this week, you have them ready to

137
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: go in week two. Well, the other contract news that

138
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 1: came down Jared Goff a four year, hundred and thirty

139
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: four million dollar extension. And again the guarantees, you have

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: to kind of wait to see the contract to see

141
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: what those numbers look like, exactly what the real real

142
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: guarantees are. It's a bunch of money. Just know that

143
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: I found it interesting though, the connection between the Rams

144
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys, and that the Todd Gurley number is

145
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: a number that Zeko Elliott his camp used to negotiate

146
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: off of, and I have to believe the Rams. Uh.

147
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: And keep in mind now the Rams, you know, Jared

148
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Goff and Carson Wentz both have the same agent, so

149
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: they knew the parameters of the Carson Wentz deal, so

150
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: that was easy for them to kind of work off of. UM.

151
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: But I thought the Eagles were smart and I thought

152
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: the Rams were smart in order to try and get

153
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: these deals done ahead of the Dallas Cowboys, who have

154
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: a reputation for paying the premium up. So you don't

155
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: want to wait for for Doc to run that number

156
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: way up. And now you've got Jered Goff and his

157
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: camp saying, Okay, this is the number we're working off of,

158
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go way north of that. UM. So

159
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: I thought both the Eagles and the Rams were smart

160
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: to kind of beat the Cowboys to the punch on

161
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback deals. Yeah, and once again, the Cowboys are

162
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: paying sticker price for the quarterback. I mean they're walking

163
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: into the car line and saying, yep, I want to

164
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: get it at full price, because that's what they don't

165
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: end up paying. Uh. Dak Prescott, I think what is

166
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: first of all, along that line. Along that line though, Buck,

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Jones is that guy that threatens to

168
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: walk off the lot and the car dealer is going,

169
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: he ain't walking walking off. He he I've already seen him.

170
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: He's taking pictures with the rare windest to car that

171
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: he wants. He wants to get it. Um And And

172
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: it's so it's so interesting because you talked about the

173
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: money and how stand Cronky and and Jerry Jones. I

174
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: think it was interesting you talked about the amount of

175
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: cash payout. Uh, these guaranteed moneies have to be able

176
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: to go into escrow. And so when you guarantee a

177
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: hundred and ten million dollars, boy, you gotta have a

178
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of cash. You gotta have a lot of casts

179
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: that you can put in the bank. And so that's

180
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: something that they certainly have. And so they made that deal.

181
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: But now you talked about, uh, these guys working off

182
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: one another. So the Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott worked off

183
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: the TYD Gurley deal. We now know for sure that

184
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, his representatives and Jerry Jones will work off

185
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: of this Jerry Golf deal to get it done. Um

186
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: And I think it's smart for um the Eagles and

187
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: also for the Ramps to get this deal done before

188
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: the new cb A kind of comes into the mix

189
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: because I'm of the mindset that I believe the cb

190
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: A is going to just kind of make the market

191
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: goal skyrocket, and so we've talked about Pat Mahon maybe

192
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: being the first two million dollar quarterback, maybe earning forty

193
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: million annually. I would try and get these deals done.

194
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to wait and see what's behind door

195
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: number one. Yeah, that's the thing, you know, the running

196
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: back market I get because you know it's been kind

197
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: of stale and we don't know where that's gonna go.

198
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: The quarterback market, we know that ain't going down. That

199
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: that thing just gonna continue to climb and whatever. I mean,

200
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: we just talked about the other day, like Kirk Cousins deal.

201
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: You know that Cousins that that's all right, He's probably

202
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: right about right, you know, So that stuff has a

203
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: way of of looking good on the team side if

204
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: you can get that done ahead of time, which I

205
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: think these teams are smart to do with these quarterbacks.

206
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: To other deals that went down that I want to

207
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: get to the bizarre story of the day, but Jacobi

208
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: perset and he gets a little sugar there for being

209
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: the starter two years thirty million. Thought it made sense

210
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: for the Colts because they'd have to pay it, you know,

211
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: way north of that if they if they waited un

212
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: till after this year, and he plays well as they anticipate.

213
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: So that one came down. And then you also had

214
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: Lale Collins another one for the Cowboys, a little five year,

215
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar contract extension, which man, you you know,

216
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: we'll get into the bizarre story of today. But Lyle Collins,

217
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: remember the whole thing with him in the draft, he'd

218
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: have been a first round pick buck and an unfortunate

219
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: his name got caught up in something that he didn't

220
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: really have anything to do with and and caused him

221
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: to go undrafted, and um ended up being a tremendous

222
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: steal there for the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, I mean absolutely

223
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: tremendous steal. Uh Leo Collins talked about a first round talent.

224
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: They got him as under at the free agent, then

225
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: broke him off, gave him a small short term deal,

226
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: but then they come back with a five year, tim

227
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. The extension. Once again, remember the operative

228
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: word extension. So even though it looks like it's timmion

229
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: dollars a year, depending on how many years is tacked on,

230
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: it comes in at a lower rate in that defen

231
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: him in to the salary cap um. I think it's smart.

232
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: I think he's played well. He's a guy that can

233
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: kick inside and do some things on the outside, so

234
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: he's been a solid player for them. I think the

235
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett deal to me, is really interesting because even

236
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: though it's only a two year, thirty million dollar deal,

237
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: it's a fifteen fifteen million per which puts him at

238
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: the lower end of the spectrum. I think the fact

239
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: that they went to yeah, the fact that they went

240
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: to him, they locked him up, they went on and

241
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: did it now, banking that he's going to exceed expectations.

242
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: I think this is smart because if he plays well

243
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: and the way this offense is set up and the

244
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,359
Speaker 1: way that Frank Rich and those guys have done quarterbacks,

245
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: he could have played well and then you run the

246
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: risk of another high twenties, low thirty million dollar deal.

247
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: Cast certainty to me, uh in the team building process

248
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: is so important now because you know exactly how to

249
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: fit the pieces of the polls around the quarterback. Um,

250
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: just a really really smart move from Chris Ballatt. And

251
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: if he bombs, it's only a two year deal, so

252
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean you're out of it. Yeah, you're out of

253
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: thirty million bucks. But it could be worse. Like the

254
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: going rate for high end starting quarterbacks a thirty million.

255
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: So look, it's a discount for them. I think it's

256
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: a great move for them to be able to know,

257
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: here's how we can set up our team knowing did

258
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: our quarterback as a fifteen million dollar quarterback? No doubt?

259
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: Well one uh I mentioned the bizarre story today Antonio

260
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: Brown UH gets fined as you tend to do when

261
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: you when you miss practices and UH and and team

262
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: functions which he did. Let me let me roll through

263
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: UH some of this letter here, as you know you

264
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: did not. This is from Mike Mack, General manager, UH

265
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown, as you know did not. You did

266
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: not participate in the Raiders walk through on August. Your

267
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: absence from practice was unexcused. Accordingly, you're here by find

268
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand, nine fifty UH pursuant to the Collective Bargaining

269
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: Agreement blah blah blah. You're previously find forty thousand for

270
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: missing the Raiders preseason training camp on August eighteen, uh

271
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: and then it goes on to say, you know, please

272
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: be advised should continue to miss. Should you continue to

273
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: miss mandatory team activities, including practice and games, Raiders are

274
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: reserve the right to impose additional remedies available under the

275
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: club's discipline schedule. The c b A and your NFL

276
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: player contract blah blah blah blah blah, standard language and

277
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: a fine letter buck. What isn't standard is for the

278
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: player who receives the fine to post it on his

279
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: social media, which is just bizarre. I use I use

280
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: the analogy. You know, when we were kids. It's different

281
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: now because of computers and email, But when we were kids,

282
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: remember they used to send our report cards home in

283
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: the mail, and you knew that thing was coming. And

284
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: if you didn't do particularly well one one quarter or

285
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: one semester, you want to try and meet your mom

286
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: to the mailbox every day so you could get that

287
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: thing before she got her hands on it. Try and

288
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: hide that report card if you got a bad one.

289
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: And Tonio Brown posted is on social media. So unbelievable, man,

290
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and so unbelievable that he continues to share um all

291
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: of his his stuff with the public, and he just

292
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: can't help himself, like he was clearly in the wrong.

293
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: He did walk out of camp, he did miss meetings

294
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: and practices and workouts and the like, and so the

295
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: Raiders have um every right to go after that money.

296
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: And I think they had to go after the money.

297
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't let him off the hook because now you're

298
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: only enabling the behavior. UM. Hats off to Mike Mayock

299
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: and the Raiders for like a issue to fine. Let

300
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: them know that there's certain things that you're expected to

301
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: do and if you don't do it, we're going to

302
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: go after your money because that's the only way that

303
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: we can punish you. That's so those are the only

304
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: punitive vehicles that the Raiders have it to dispose it

305
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: right now. And look, this is I mean, I think

306
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: it shocks a lot of people when they read this

307
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: because they're like, man, he didn't show up, Like it's

308
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: a bad look for him. I've had conversations just this

309
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: training camp and these are players everybody knows, name brand players,

310
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: star players, Guys that have missed meetings, guys that have

311
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: been late to practice. UM guys that have missed curfew.

312
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: I know story this this training camp about a guy

313
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: who who missed a joint practice. Didn't get on the bus,

314
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: so I had to get a ride to get over

315
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to the joint practice. Um, these are these are things

316
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: that happened all the way across the league. Actually somewhat normal.

317
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: They all get fined. Uh, that's the number I've heard.

318
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of the standard number, thirteen nine. Uh.

319
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: But you know, some of these guys racking up the

320
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: dollar fines. But you know what, the public doesn't know

321
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: about it, because nobody would ever put that out there

322
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: that that is crazy. To me, it is crazy, And

323
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that kind of frustrate you

324
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: sometimes about a v is that he does live his

325
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: life out in public like that, and it's one of

326
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: those things that it's annoying. It can be frustrating and

327
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: challenging to coach him, to deal with him, to kind

328
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: of bring him into the building. But look, this is

329
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: what the Raiders wanted. They wanted number eighty four and

330
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: everything they came along with them, And what they're hoping

331
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: is that they can stomach stuff to get to the

332
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: games and get to the stuff that you really like

333
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: about a b which is his game and his ability

334
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns and be a number one player on

335
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: the field. But oh man, it's tough. It's tough because

336
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: he is a center of influence and potentially he could

337
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: drag down the young players that you have in the program.

338
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: So they have to be mindful of Dad. They got

339
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: to keep their eyes on to make sure that he's

340
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: kind of walking the straight in there. Yeah, that's that.

341
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: I think a song, I don't know if it's imagined

342
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: dragons or whatever, walking the wire, like walking the tight rope,

343
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: wherever that thing goes like that is him. I mean,

344
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: if he takes one step off that thing, they are

345
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: going to cut him and they're gonna seek all the

346
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: all this money that they've given him pursuant to this,

347
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: uh this contract letter that they've sent out. I mean

348
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: they they've kind of set the parameters there that hey,

349
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: this thing one more misstep, not only we're gonna move on,

350
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna get your money. I mean that That's what

351
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: it reads to me, is that's the first step in

352
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: that process of them trying to get out from under

353
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: this thing. If if something else happens, just a very bizarre,

354
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: bizarre situation. Man, Uh back, we got a game. We

355
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: got a game the Bears and the Packers, first game

356
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: of the year. I want to spend much time on

357
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: this thing, um, but I do want to. I want

358
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on the key to the game,

359
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: on who you like to win this game? You know

360
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: this is this is interesting because uh first game is

361
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Mad the Floor, Aaron Rodgers and normal instances you would

362
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: take uh Packers sight unseen. I just don't know, Um,

363
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: when you have the Bears and the Bears have really

364
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: come together. I think that offense is gonna be even

365
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: more improved in the second year on Matt Naggy. But

366
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: the question mark is check Pigano in their defense? Can

367
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: that defense get up the stuff? And I don't even

368
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: know what Mad the Flu is going to do offensively,

369
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: but Ken check Prigano. Um, can he put his own

370
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: I guess signature on this defense without radically overhauling the

371
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: way they used to go about their business. I think

372
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: he can. I still don't know if that's gonna be

373
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: enough to be the Packers. I just like the Packers

374
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers always finds a way to get it

375
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: done against the Bears. I think it would be a

376
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: competitive game, but I'm just gonna lean with the Packers

377
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: on this one. Yeah, look, this is gonna be a

378
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: good game. I think the Packers come out and throw

379
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: it around a little bit. I think the Bears are

380
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: going to be able to run the football. I like

381
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 1: what the Packers have done with their pass rush and

382
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: what they've done in the off season. I think they've

383
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: gotten better in that area. For Mike Petton. Um, I

384
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: just think that you're gonna see a more balanced offensive

385
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: approach from the Chicago Bears. I like their offensive lines,

386
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: ability to move people in the run game. I think

387
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: you see David Montgomery get loose a little bit, and

388
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: this one kind of announced his presence on the national

389
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: stage here um in his first game. And I think defensively, um,

390
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: while there are some issues on the back end at

391
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: the at the corner position, I should say specifically, I'm

392
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: not all in with this Bears corner group. I like

393
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: where they are at the safety position, obviously Leddie Jackson,

394
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: but um, to me, I think they'll they'll give up

395
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: some plays on the back end, but I think it

396
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: ends up turning into a physical, grinded out game, and

397
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: I think when you look at it, the Bears are

398
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: better upfront on both sides of the line, and I

399
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: think that ends up being the difference. I'm gonna go

400
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: the Bears one in this one in a in a

401
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: close game. I think it really surprisingly very physical first

402
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: game of the year. Yeah, I think it would be

403
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: a very physical game. And I think it'd be physical,

404
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: not only to because of the Bears and the package

405
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: and that's kind of the robbery, but the Bears like

406
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: to play a physical style and check Pogano. We kind

407
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: of ratted it up a little bit. But even on

408
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: the Packers side, I think Mike Pitton has really hell

409
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: been on making sure that this Packers defense lives up

410
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: to the hype. And I think he is going to

411
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: pull out all the stuff. They're gonna be very very

412
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: aggressive coming after the young quarterback, and if they get

413
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: a few hits early, I think he becomes contagious. That

414
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: is the exciting part of the game that I'm looking

415
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: forward to seeing. Well, there is so we cannot wait

416
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: to watch it. The NFL season is here. You can

417
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: find that game Thursday evening. Cannot wait, all right, Buck

418
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: excited to be joined by our our good buddy Jordan

419
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: Palmer and UH and JP. As we start the NFL

420
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: season and you look at the schedule, one jumped out

421
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: to me and I'm sure it's uh, it's jumped out

422
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: to you as well. We've got the Sam Donald versus

423
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen battle. Two guys that are very close, and

424
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: one of the reasons they're so close is because they've

425
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: trained under you. So what are your plans for that

426
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: game and what are you looking to see? Well, yeah,

427
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: I'm fired up. You know, they got a chance to

428
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: play each other once last year. Um, there was injuries

429
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: the first time. Um it was Josh the Colt VERSU

430
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley the first time they played each other. But

431
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, I mean it was

432
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: a shootout. It came down to who had the ball

433
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: last and uh. And but now they've had an entire

434
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: off season. They're no longer rookies. They had had the

435
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: both organizations had a huge off season in terms of

436
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: I think they both drafted well and I think they

437
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: both hit it in free agency. Um, and so yeah,

438
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: I'm fired up. They play each other Week one in

439
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, I'm calling the bailor game. Saturday night, getting

440
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: up early, flying in New York Sunday morning. UM, taking

441
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: my wife and my son, my little three year old dude.

442
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm literally right now, I'm coloring one white Van's

443
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: shoe jets and one film and uhi great choreograph weeknd

444
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: right on the middle that is that is okay a JP.

445
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Because those guys are second year pros and because you

446
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: know those guys have you known for a long time?

447
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest jumps both us have made?

448
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: Uh in the respective games. I think with Sam, you know,

449
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: I just keep hearing him talking about the offense, the

450
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: offense the offense um with Adam Gates has put in

451
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: there um so well it fits their personnel, and then

452
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: what they've done from a personnel standpoint, obviously Levan Bill

453
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: being a huge piece of that UM, but even just

454
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: with Bryan Khalil and a couple of other pieces that

455
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: they've put in there, I think the biggest step for

456
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: him is I just feel like he's going into this

457
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: feeling like he has a lot of answers, whether that's

458
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: checking things or whether that's just a great play calls.

459
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: I think he feels like he has a lot of

460
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: answers with Josh. I think it was one of the

461
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: personal side of things. Uh. As you guys know, and

462
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: you evaluated him coming out because his arm is so strong,

463
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: he's had the benefit of being able to wait and

464
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: throw the ball a little bit later than some which

465
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: is fine at times, but you can't play the game

466
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: that way. Um to get to where he wants to go,

467
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: and I just think the biggest jump that he's made

468
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: is on anticipation. I'm not even gonna say touch, because

469
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: he always had the ability to throw a touch, but

470
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: really trusting and really pouring an entire offseason into developing

471
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 1: more anticipation and throwing the spot and I think that's

472
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: gonna pay dividends for him. One of the things we

473
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: talked about the other day JP looking at this trade

474
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: the Texans made to go get Laramie Tonsil and look

475
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: paid a very steep price to go get their left tackle. Uh,

476
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: I think is one of the best left tackles in

477
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Buckey's with me on this one, but the

478
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: point I was making was if you look at young

479
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in their early stages of development, I made the

480
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: case that look you the protections em more important when

481
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: you get to the point where you're a Breeze, a

482
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: Brady and Rodgers whoever and uh, you know Rivers, you've

483
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: got some some issues up front along that offensive line.

484
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: You can cover up for that with your brain because

485
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: you've got all that experience, You've seen every pressure, um,

486
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: and you can overcome some of that. But for a

487
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: young quarterback, I contend, look, it is it is extremely

488
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: important that you have some dudes upfront. Um. Just your

489
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: thoughts on that theory as well as is what the

490
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: Texans did to go get Tonsil. Yeah, I think it

491
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: was a good move to make. Right now, I can

492
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: make the argument that paying I believe his name is

493
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: Andre Brown. Two years ago, I think there are some

494
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: cheaper ways to solve this Bwayne Brown, more cost effective ways,

495
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, a year or two ago, do that. But

496
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: the current situation right now, they've gotta left backle Yeah,

497
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: see price that they got him. I think you're spot on. Um.

498
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: When you're young, I had a great take a step back,

499
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: I had a great coach Tony. You only get so

500
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: many mental bars of energy on one play. Okay, you

501
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: gotta use some of those pre snap, you got to

502
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: use some of those posts snap. If you use all

503
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: of them pre snap, it's really difficult to have some

504
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: left over to make a great decision on the complex,

505
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: you know problem in front. Yet, so when you're a

506
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: young quarterback, if I don't have to use that much

507
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: because I know that my one on ones we're gonna

508
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: be on the right side of those most often, uh,

509
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: then it allows them to be able to can continue

510
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: to add progressions and they continue to read the difference

511
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: to coverage variations that people are going to send them,

512
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: and they can slowly over time, start to take on

513
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: more and more responsibility in the protection side of things.

514
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: You're right, I think when guys get older down the road. Look,

515
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: the reality in this league is there's more often than

516
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: not there's six guys walking five Okay, when they bring

517
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: Nicol Mike fire zone up, that's five guys coming. It's

518
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: not sex. So the reality is if you really understand

519
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: which guys do later in the career, and these guys

520
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: that are all over thirty, Um, what they're doing is

521
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: they're able to have every answer available from a protection

522
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: standpoint to cover up those spots. Like you said, um,

523
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: And so I think it's a perfect move right now

524
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: to just allow DeShawn to play fast post snap. Takes

525
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: as much as you can off of him pre snap,

526
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: and he's still got a lot. But if you can

527
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: take some off linehe to just play fast when he

528
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hand. I think young players

529
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: that's the that's the better position for them to be in.

530
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, JP is funny that you you talk about

531
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: young players and and how it slowly kind of clicks

532
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: with them. Deshaun Watson has been a guy that we've

533
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: kind of treated as a superstar. He's done a lot

534
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: of great things in the league. When you've had a

535
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: chance to watch him and talk to him and see

536
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: how his game has developed, what do you think are

537
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: steal some areas that he needs to kind of sharpen

538
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: up on so he can't be the player that we

539
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: expect him to be. UM. I think one with with

540
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: with accuracy, even on completions, there's there's just levels to accuracy,

541
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: UM where you know, if I can hit a guy

542
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: for a touchdown and that's great and accounts for six points. Um.

543
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: But there are certain guys in the league who and

544
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: and I also my brother out there because I played

545
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: with him and I remember remember him going weeks without

546
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: missing in practice and like not behind the guy. I

547
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: was behind the guy a little bit and he caught it.

548
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: Still that was a mess. So there are levels of accuracy,

549
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: and I just don't think that's about talent. I think

550
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: that takes time. UM. I think Sean is very accurate

551
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: for his age and there's a lot of room to

552
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: go when we talk about Drew Brees or Aaron and

553
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: the detailed accuracy and the consistency of the accuracy. UM.

554
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: The other thing is is that Deshawn's gonna have to

555
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: work on and this is not his fault. Is when

556
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: you have for much protection breakdown because he's had early

557
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: in his career and you're forced to run around any quarterback,

558
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: you can start to see ghosts. You can start to

559
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket before you need to. Now

560
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: that they're starting to address those offensive line to Laramie

561
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: Uncil is a piece of that. The Shawn really early

562
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: in this season is gonna have to and and it's

563
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: not a it's not a toughnest thing because he's might

564
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: literally be one of the toughest guys I've ever been around. UM,

565
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: But trusting it and staying in there because it's so

566
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: easy to run out of the pocket if you're one

567
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: of two. If you've got two things, One you're a

568
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: great athlete, which he is, and too, you've got reason

569
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: to get out of there. Because people on the blocking

570
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: this year, the way they've addressed officsive line, I think

571
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: that's a big piece the first three or four games

572
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: of the year. Can he really stay in there and

573
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: give it and give it that extra second, because that's

574
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: going to give the every play the best opportunity to

575
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, for the ball to end up in the

576
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: hands that it was designed to. I love that, you know, JP,

577
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: when you watch tape and uh doing the charging games,

578
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: I've got a chance to do getting ready for opponents.

579
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: Even in the preseason, I watched the forty Niners and

580
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: I watched that offense the way it Kyle Shanahan has

581
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: designed it, the way he played calls, and I think,

582
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, gosh, you know, if I could go back

583
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: in time, I wish when I was in college I

584
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: could have played in a in a system like this.

585
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Is there a system that you watch when you're watching

586
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: so much NFL tape? Uh that you go, man, I

587
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: would love an opportunity to get a chance to play

588
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: in this particular system or for this particular coach. Um.

589
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, I really like what I've got a chance

590
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: to see out of Adam Gates in the Jets this year. Um,

591
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: I just think that, uh, he's not he's not approaching

592
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: it in terms of how do we get the ball

593
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: to this guy? But he's approaching it going what are

594
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: all the things in order that this guy does great?

595
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: And how do we move him around? And I think

596
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: that's that's not like a new thought. I mean a

597
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: lot of people are trying to do that. It's just

598
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: hard to do. Um. And so based off what I've

599
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: seen this offseason, UM, I think the Jets, that's an

600
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: interesting one. Another one is h especially today and now

601
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: that he seeks under under contract. Um, you know, I

602
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: think what Dallas is probably gonna do your what Dallas

603
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna do this year is they're gonna keep it really simple.

604
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run the ball, and they're gonna

605
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: do play actions, and they're gonna have a quick game,

606
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep it really simple. They'll probably have

607
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: some gadgets, because that's Kellen Moore's entire background coming out

608
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: of college. You know, one of my all time favorite

609
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: college quarterbacks. Uh, but have you ever thrown in completion

610
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: at Boise? By the way, I don't think I saw it.

611
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I had no idea. It is that

612
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: we're the same era, and I had a blast. I

613
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: was such a fan of there. Um. But I think

614
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: they're going to keep it. It's gonna they're gonna dial

615
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: it back to kind of the way it used to be.

616
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: And then they're gonna run the ball and they're gonna

617
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: play action offit, and they're not gonna overwhelm you. But

618
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: they're just going to continue to pound. And I think

619
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: those types of offense is keeping it simple and featuring

620
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: your great players and putting each of those guys in

621
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: a great spot. It's a different philosophy than what we're

622
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: seeing today because there's so many gadgets and all that stuff. Um.

623
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: I'd love to say, you know, kills Kingsbury's offense, but

624
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's gonna look like. Um. And

625
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: and I sure want to run the ball. It's a quarterback,

626
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: so we'll see what that looks like. But you know,

627
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: those first two stick outs, to me, those are two

628
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, new offenses or at least new offenses with

629
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: new teams, and I'm excited to see him. You know, JP,

630
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: I want to go all the way back because I

631
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: know you've known Jared's did him for a long time.

632
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Were you surprised with how will he played during the preseason? So,

633
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean, easy answer. I think I can lie to

634
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: you guys and say no, I'm not surprised, But I'm

635
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: honestly not surprised. And here's why. Um, I think this

636
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: is the first time he's been really well coached. And

637
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking any coaches he's had before, uh, but

638
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: he's learning football. Think about this. He was this offseason.

639
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: He threw this stat at me. I know Brian Hoyer

640
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: has been released and now sign with Amy and Epis Courts,

641
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: but talking to Jarrett through training camp, basically they have

642
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: one person who's responsible for him. But if you look

643
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: at that room that he just spent an entire off

644
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: season with, there's thirty I think I'm sorry if I

645
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: get this wrong, but I believe it's thirty one NFL

646
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: years of experience between those two quarterbacks twenty seven in

647
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: that offense. If I'm off on those numbers, it's not

648
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: by much. Okay, that's I didn't. I didn't. I'm not

649
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: talking about the coach, some about the other two quarterbacks

650
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: in the room. So you just think about the amount

651
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: every conversation is as valuable as any any conversation he's

652
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: ever had in terms of football. Any question he asked.

653
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: He's not getting somebody's opinion of it. He's getting the

654
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: PhD's version of it. Okay, So just for him to

655
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: go from Baylor to Auburn in Malson's offense, can then

656
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: go to that he could always throw it and Bucky,

657
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: I know you've been around him a long time since

658
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: going way back there. That's undeniable, right, And he's big enough,

659
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: fast enough, strong enough. So for him to just even

660
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: one offseason, you know, and the and the Patriots know

661
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: how to do it. I mean they get the most

662
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: out of out of the most. And so for him

663
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: to have the talent that he has and his work

664
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: ethic to go there um and just play free. I

665
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: think he arguably had one of the pacifically one of

666
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: the best preseasons period. Are there any quarterbacks, Yeah, no doubt.

667
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: He's a spoiler alert. My top twenty five rookies from

668
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: the preseason jarrets did him. He's going to show up

669
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: in there. Which I love compiling lists off the preseason JP.

670
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: That's that's a lot of fun. Let me tell you

671
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: that you get a lot of people really really happy

672
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: with you when you when you put those together. Um, hey,

673
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: I want to jump into the college game again real quick.

674
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: I know you're doing some college games calling that Baylor game,

675
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: but I know if you had a chance to watch

676
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: over the weekend and just your early impressions, um, this

677
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: year's version of of TWA Toungo Voloa, I'd love to

678
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: know what you think of him, because when we were

679
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: watching him the other day and talking about him the

680
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: other day, and he looked lighter, he looked quicker. Um,

681
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: he looked outstanding. Yeah, I think that he's every year

682
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: is is such a step for him from maturity standpoint

683
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: and everything on and off the field. You know, he

684
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: went he went from high school kids, a sudden fame

685
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: that first year, like real famous, you know, like National

686
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: championship Disney story. Um, and uh, that's a lot of

687
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: life change for eighteen year old kid. Uh. And then

688
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: for last year for him to go through some adversity

689
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: during the season on the injury side of things. Um,

690
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: put it together, play some great football, to go to

691
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: the Heisman process and all that stuff, and then to

692
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: get you know, punched in the stomach in that National

693
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: championship game. The whole team did right, uh and then

694
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: this offseason to have all the expectations both from a

695
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: national championship Heisman and then also there's also the NFL

696
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: stuff and uh. So I just think you're just seeing

697
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: a huge growth and maturity and uh and you gotta

698
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: remember to this guy. This guy is from Oahu, you know,

699
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: from a small island out the middle of the ocean.

700
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 1: This is not He may have been had a lot

701
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: of a lot of love and the lead eleven m

702
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: v P and all that stuff growing up, but it's

703
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: a lot of life change in a very short amount

704
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: of time. And so I just think, you know, not

705
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: having to rehab so much this last offseason. From an

706
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: injury standpoint, I think he looks like like you said, lighter,

707
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: He's in great shape. He's always had a live arm.

708
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: I think the game's slowing down for him in a

709
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: unique way. This is really his second full season and

710
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: uh and they've got some pieces around them on offense too.

711
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be pretty confident looking in the huddle,

712
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: and I got Jerry, Judy and Harrison some of these

713
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: other guys. I mean, she's got a bunch of dudes

714
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: who are gonna maybe be in New York with him.

715
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I I agree. I do think though,

716
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: that this Auburn team with bow Nick is going to

717
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: be very interesting by the time we get to the

718
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl. Um. I know he thinks he played poorly

719
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: the other night, despite the heroic finish, I think Auburn

720
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be really good. Uh. And I just I

721
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: don't bet against Jake From. I think Jake From is

722
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: a very unique athlete mentally, physically, confidence wise. How about

723
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: his tough I don't how about his toughness, JP, what's from?

724
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: I've never said I watched him, Dude, his toughness it's

725
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: off the charts. I mean he just he got smoked

726
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: a couple of times in that game. His eyes never

727
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: ever dropped. No, I think he loved it. And the

728
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: thing about him is, I think him keeping and as

729
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: Justin Field takes off at the House State and you know,

730
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: and he's up for all these things and it's gonna

731
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: be even more impressive looking back on it, the fact

732
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: that he kept Justin Field on the bench at that school.

733
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: Don't feel this from Atlanta and from every time it

734
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: was gonna well he may give Justin Fields a chance

735
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: here he bawled out and he kept him on the bench.

736
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: I think that we will look back at that and

737
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: for me, that will be one of the most impressive things.

738
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: I'een a college quarterback too. That'll be right up there

739
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield being to walk on twice in the finalists,

740
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: in the Human three times, He'll be right up there

741
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: with that. For him to keep him on the bench

742
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: because he just let his play speak for himself. Very impressive.

743
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: So I think Bama is, you know, a great spot.

744
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: But I just think they have They're gonna have a

745
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: couple of tough games. It is not a It's not

746
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: a you know, expressed lane to the national championship this year.

747
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: A JP is funny because you kind of stole a

748
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: little bit of my question because I wanted to kind

749
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: of touch on We've been around all these quarterbacks from

750
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: Jacob Easton, Jalen Hurst, Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence. I wanted

751
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: you to just pick one to just shine, so you

752
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: already talked about from and you touched on a little

753
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: bit on field, So talk about either Jacob Eason or

754
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Hursts and Trevor Lawrence and what you really like

755
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: about those guys as players. Um, I mean Trevor Lawrences

756
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: well documented and east and I didn't I didn't get

757
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: a chance to see him player the other day. UM

758
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: so I saw his staff and all that stuff and

759
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: talk to a couple of folks, and that's another guy

760
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: well trained. He works with jakeing stuff in Seattle. He's

761
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: just a great you know, as he's transitioned out of

762
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: school and sat out, he's just he's developed and he

763
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: always had a big arm and he was always an athlete,

764
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: but um, I think he's really developed with what Chris

765
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: Peterson is doing. Um I love what Jalen is doing

766
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: because you know, Jalen is a dynamic, potentially the best

767
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: runner on the field, um and has continued to work

768
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: at throwing and has continued to get better and better.

769
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: Um I just like the mentality that he brings because

770
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: you look at Oklahoma, right, this is such a unique,

771
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: unique dynamic Cass. You look at Oklahoma and you go, man,

772
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: that's the biggest program, right, I mean they back to

773
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: back him and back to back number one picks. And

774
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: so how does the guy transfer there and have more

775
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: good experience than everybody including the coach well Sjalen Hurtswells

776
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: and there he's national champion and he's been a part

777
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: of them, the only program probably that's better. And so

778
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: for a guy to come in and win the job

779
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: and take control of that, I mean when Kyler did it,

780
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: he was coming from a bad A and M program.

781
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: Bakery came from Texas Tech, right, like, this guy's coming

782
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: almost you can make down to Oklahoma, and so his

783
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: mindset is very different. But I'm gonna I'm gonna give

784
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: you a different name here. Buck Um, a guy that

785
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm fired up on I think is gonna have a

786
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: massive year as Joe Burrow at l s U. This

787
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: dude has horses in the huddle with him. He's got

788
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: a favorable schedule. This was one of the top recruits

789
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: went to a House States. The only reason, well, the

790
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: story of him leaving the House States he got hurt

791
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Haskins, the greatest quarterback in the House State history,

792
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: came in and replaced him. Okay, so this guy, he's

793
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna bounce around. Got beat out by strubs. Okay, Um,

794
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: he started off struggled the first part of last year,

795
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: and they got there rhythm on offense. The last second

796
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: half of the year they rolled. So sometime within this

797
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: off season I was blown away by them in person.

798
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: His dad's been a defensive coordinator in college football D

799
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: one for over a dozen years. He knows more than

800
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: the average guy at his age, um and from and

801
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: it's a senior year. From a confidence standpoint, if this

802
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: guy thinks they can win the national championship, and I

803
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: believe him, so, I actually think Joe Burrow is an

804
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: interesting guy to watch. You had a big statistical day

805
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: the other day. But it's early in the season. Um,

806
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: but man, he's got an opportunity this week versus in

807
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: Texas long Ones and no doubt. Well, JP, you've been

808

Speaker 1: You've been very kind with your time. Today. You get

809
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: a chance to talk about these NFL guys as well

810
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: as uh the next wave of NFL quarterbacks. And I

811
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: look forward to catching up with you down the road.

812
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna go. Let you get back to painting those vans, man,

Speaker 1: all right, man, see you guys, alright, Buck. It's always

818
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: great to catch up with Jordan and tremendous insight there

819
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: and both on the NFL uh young signal callers as

820
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: well as what we've got coming up in the pipeline

821
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: here in the college game. He's has dialed in as anybody.

822
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: He is is doubt in as anybody when it comes

823
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. Um. Having worked on the Elite eleven Tour

824
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: with him, I know, Look, this guy spends a lot

825
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: of time working with young quarterbacks. He knows them like

826
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: no other. And we those conversations that we had with

827
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: him about everybody in the college game that's beginning to

828
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: bubble up. It comes from a place of knowledge and

829
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: experience because he saw them in their formutive years sixteen seventeen,

830
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: you kind of begin to get a feel for who

831
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: the player he is, and that's why he could go

832
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: so strong and so heavy on some of the guys

833
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: that he talked about. I'm excited to see that matchup

834
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: between his pupils there. Uh, with Sam Donald going up

835
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen, that's gonna be a fun game to watch.

836
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: Um there in the a f C East, all right,

837
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: but lets jump out of these divisions here, NFC and

838
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: a f C West. We're gonna go team by team

839
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: in the division. The storyline we're looking forward to following

840
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna be key for this team, and then wind

841
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: up picking a winner. I'll take the the NFC West.

842
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: You got the a f C West. You read roll cool,

843
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: Let's do it, alright, Sean McVeigh and the Rams last

844
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: year thirteen and three, uh, found our way into the

845
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And when I look at the key storyline

846
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: for this football team, I'm looking for some of these

847
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: new veteran pieces on the defense, Um, what kind of

848
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: roles they feel and how productive they can be. I

849
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: think Clay Matthew is getting a chance to go back

850
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles where he grew up, where he played

851
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: his college football there at USC. It's gonna invigorate him

852
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, get him going. Another guy from California

853
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: coming back home. H and Eric Weddle getting a chance

854
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: to plug in at the safety position. There for that defense.

855
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 1: So you've got somebody the second and third levels, um,

856
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: that can really help this team. And you've got a

857
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: pass rusher there with with Clay Matthews. Obviously, you know

858
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: what you have on the offensive side of the ball.

859
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line is is uh is good,

860
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: not great. I thought they got exposed a little bit

861
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl. But the talent that they possessed

862
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: Buck is gonna be in their advantage just about every

863
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: time they line up. Yeah. Absolutely, talking about a very

864
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: very talented team. And I think, um, offensively they have

865
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: everything that you you could want. I mean, obviously they

866
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: gotta figure out what's going on with with the runner um,

867
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: how he can get back on track, and can they

868
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: lean on him the way they lean on him previously

869
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: they didn't need to share the load or what things

870
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: can they do. But defensively, I really want to see

871
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: what they're able to do when they bring some of

872
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: these new guys into the fold, Like how does Wave

873
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: Phillips gets those gas into the mix where Clay Matthews,

874
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: well those guys, Because if that defense plays like syte,

875
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: I believe this is a team that should repeat as

876
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: champions in this division. Even though I think this division

877
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: is much tougher than the one that they face last year.

878
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: That no doubt. I think the division everybody has gotten better,

879
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: including the team. Another team went to the playoffs last year,

880
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: the Tenant six Seattle Seahawks. We know about the trade

881
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: that took place. You bring in Jadevan Clowney to plug

882
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: him in there. Hopefully you get Ziggy Onza healthy and rolling.

883
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: You've got l J. Collier who you've drafted, so it's

884
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: a wave of bodies there to try and replace Frank Clark,

885
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 1: who's one of the top pass rushers in the NFL.

886
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: To me, how that group comes together is going to

887
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: determine how far this team goes. I'm absolutely with you.

888
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: I believe the offense is solid. Theyre gonna run the ball,

889
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: They're gonna Leo Russell Wilson to make plays. It's the

890
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: defense that would determine whether this team not only goes

891
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: to the playoffs a game, but if they make a

892
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: legitimate run, if this defense can kind of grow and

893
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: emerge as the top ten defense innes since Seattle has

894
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: a piece in place to make a long run because

895
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: they've done it before with this formula, good running game,

896
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: playmaking by the quarterback, strong defense. They need to defense

897
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: to hold up. It's end of the bargain. Maybe with

898
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowneys coming on board to join Bobby Wagner, maybe

899
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: they can get it done that way. Yeah. I do

900
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: think the offensive line improved last year. I think there

901
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: it's a solid group now. Nick Vanette is another as

902
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: a tight ends a good blocker. Will Display is a

903
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: good blocker, so they can they can get real physical upfront.

904
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: And the way they want to run the ball with

905
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: those backs, um as well as having Russell Wilson, and

906
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: the offense is gonna be fine. I think defensively, I

907
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: love what they have at linebacker as good as anybody

908
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And I think the waves of guys

909
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: they have up front now, uh, that depth is gonna

910
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: play well there. With Pete Carroll's team, I think the

911
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: Seahawks are in for a very big year. We look

912
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: at the rest of that division, um buck, there's there's

913
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: two teams that I think are poised to make a

914
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: big improvement and uh, I think you're gonna see it

915
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: in the win lost column, most with the San Francisco

916
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: forty Niners because of what they've done up front on

917
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: the defensive line, I think this team has has got

918
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: a chance to be really good. I think it's a

919
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: it's a playoff caliber team in my opinion. Look, man,

920
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: they have the pieces in place. They should be able

921
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: to kind of make a jump in this division. A

922
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of it hinges on the health and the performance

923
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy Garoppolo coming off that a c

924
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: L injury. How does Jimmy Garoppolo uh finally fit into

925
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: this offense? On the Kyle Shanahan, can he play like

926
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: the player that they thought when he invested that big

927
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: contract in him. He has to play at a high

928
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: level because ultimately, when you look at this division, Yes,

929
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 1: we can talk about the defenses, we can talk about

930
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: the running games, but it comes down to a battle

931
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks. Can Jimmy Garoppolo I'll play Russell Wilson

932
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: and Jerry Golf and there was one on one matchup

933
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: to give his team the best chance to win. If

934
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: he does that, then the forty nine is will be

935
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: in the conversation. If not, the forty nines will be

936
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: back at the back, and then they have to make

937
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: a decision regarding Garoppolo in the offseason if he's their

938
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback or not. And no doubt, I actually expect

939
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: Garoppolo to have a big year this year. I think

940
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: everybody could overreacted to some of the preseason stuff. I

941
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: think he'll be just fine in that Kyle Shanahan offense.

942
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: Last team, the Arizona Cardinals, I said, much improved. I

943
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: don't know that it's necessarily going to show up a

944
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: bunch in the win lost column, but I do think

945
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: offensively they're gonna be fun to watch, and and Cliff Kingsbury,

946
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna move the ball up and down the field,

947
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: uh with Kyler Murray uh running the air raid buck.

948
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: I do worry about them being able to cash it

949
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: in once they get down the red zone. But you're

950
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna see movement, you're gonna see yards. It's gonna be

951
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: fun to watch. And then defensively, to me, the biggest

952
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: concern for this team is just in the secondary, relying

953
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: on some young players due to uh do the suspension

954
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: and due to some injuries there in the back end. Yeah,

955
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: just so many young guys, so many young guys trying

956
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: to kind of get a going at one time. Makes

957
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: it very very hard to kind of have high hopes

958
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals. But the one thing that should

959
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: give Cardinals fans UH reason for optimism Cliff Kingsbury and

960
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: this offense and what they may do um when they

961
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: finally unveil it in the regular season opener. How are

962
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: they going to unleash calor Murray? How are they going

963
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: to maximize the skills as a run past threat. What

964
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: things are they're going to do with the air raid

965
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to chasing space or chasing grass to

966
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: get these guys open. If they can get those playmakers open,

967
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: they're they can find a way to utilize David Johnson

968
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: and allow him to be kind of the the driving

969
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: force of the offense, they could be problematic. I still

970
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: don't think they have enough UH pieces on this roster

971
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: to really challenge but maybe they can be a hard

972
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: out for teams and maybe they can get to the

973
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: point where they win five, six seven games this year.

974
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: No doubt, I think that they're gonna be at least

975
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Who do you like winning this division?

976
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: But you know it's tough, man. I'm gonna go with

977
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: the l A Rams again. I think the Sharks is

978
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: certainly closed ground with some of the additions that they made.

979
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: But I just like the Rams offense and the way

980
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: that Sean McVeigh just kind of has these guys going

981
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: there very systematic in their approach. Cooper Cup comes back.

982
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: I believe that we've kind of overreacted to the tide

983
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: girle uh end of season performance. I think he comes back.

984
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: I can reminds us why he was such a special player.

985
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: I think the Rams get it. I think they winned

986
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: by a game or two. Yeah, I think the Rams

987
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be tough to beat, but I actually think

988
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: Seattle ends up winning it. I think Seattle's got a

989
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: chance to be a more physical football team with the

990
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: way they're built right now, and it might not be

991
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: as pretty. Man. I not gonna put up all the

992
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: numbers and the status you might see with the Rams,

993
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: but the Seahawks have a chance to win this division.

994
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: I could see this being in a you know, couple

995
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: eleven and five type seasons for the Rams and the

996
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: Seahawks actually go with the Seahawks to to pull this

997
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: one out. Look at you stepan out, switching switching it

998
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: up a little bit. I think we could see three

999
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: playoff teams in this division. I really do. I think

1000
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Sanraniso has got a chance to be a playoff team

1001
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, it's gonna be a fun division, a

1002
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: much improved division. All right, take us through the a

1003
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: f C West Buck So looklet start up with the

1004
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: Kanna City Chiefs. And I think the biggest thing with

1005
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: the Kanna City Chiefs, Uh can they get this defense

1006
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: up to part And I don't even believe it needs

1007
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: to be a top ten defense. They can get a

1008
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: top twenty defense. They should be good enough. Because offensively,

1009
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: this is a video game offense that is ready to go.

1010
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: Pat My Holmes, your m v P quarterback, you bring

1011
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: over Shady McCoy to jump in his backfield rotation where

1012
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: they can do so many different things to create problems.

1013
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey, Sammy Watkins. They have everything that

1014
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: you could want on offense. But defensively, can they get

1015
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: just enough stops to get out of games? Uh? I

1016
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: don't know, um what they're going to be able to

1017
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: do in the back end. So they really count on

1018
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and Frank Clark to be able to get

1019
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: after the passer. If those guys can do enough, create

1020
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: enough negative plays. I think he gives him a chance.

1021
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: But to me, all eyes on the defense because that's

1022
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: the unit that could be holding the Chiefs back. And

1023
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be explosive and electric on offense,

1024
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: so many different weapons they can throw at you. I

1025
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: think you could, uh, you could see some improvement, which

1026
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: is scary. With Pat Mahomes is as good as he

1027
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: was last year's MVP of the league defensively, um, I

1028
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a better group. I think Frank

1029
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: Clark lined up next to Chris Jones is gonna be

1030
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: a problem for a lot of teams, and they're gonna

1031
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: be playing with the lead. I think this Kansas City

1032
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs team is gonna be as good, if not better

1033
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: than they were fast year. And I think they're gonna

1034
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: be much better on the defensive side of the ball,

1035
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: which is which is pretty scary. Yeah, that is a

1036
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: very very scary thought, very scary thought. Another scary thought

1037
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: for the chief should be the l A charges. Uh.

1038
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: The l A charges are scary because look, man, as

1039
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: long as they have Philip Rivers, they have a chance.

1040
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: And their defense is looking like a lights out unit,

1041
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: even though they have some concerns because you don't have

1042
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: Derwin James, you don't know he's going to be out

1043
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 1: for I think this defense is still terrific. The one

1044
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: missing piece of the puzzle to me is Melvin Gordon.

1045
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: And I know they're people who are excited about Austin

1046
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Ekeler Jackson and the other guys that are playing, but

1047
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a clear difference between Melvin Gordon being

1048
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: on the field and those other guys. I need to

1049
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: see if Heckler and Jackson can kind of carry low

1050
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: Because say what you want to about Melvin Gordon, Melvin

1051
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: Gordon has scored at least ten scrimmage touchdowns and the

1052
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: last in each of the last three years. He there's

1053
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: a comfort level and having him to not only hand

1054
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: it to, but the Thwarts too. So they need to

1055
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: figure out are they gonna be able to bring to

1056
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: twenty five back and if they don't get twenty five back,

1057
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: which one of these guys can carry the mail and

1058
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: do enough to offset all the production that Philip Rivers

1059
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: has to deliver. Yeah, I think it's gonna be a

1060
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: collection of those backs, and I think you might even

1061
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: see Troy main Pope get a little bit of work

1062
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: as well. You're gonna see all three of those guys Ekeler,

1063
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: Jackson and Pope roll through there for the charges. My

1064
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: my biggest concern with this team right now is just

1065
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: this offensive line and the Russell o'con health situation forcing

1066
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: Trent Scott into action. To me, there's a greater drop

1067
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: off from o'coon to Scott than there is from Melvin

1068
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: Gordon to what's left in the backfield. So, uh, that

1069
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: to me would be the area that you worry about.

1070
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: I do think even without Derwin James, I think this

1071
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of the best defenses in the NFL.

1072
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: A team that didn't play with any linebackers in those

1073
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 1: playoff games now has eight of them on this roster,

1074
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of speed and talent there. So, um,

1075
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: you know, Bosa, Melvin Ingram coming off the edge, you've

1076
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 1: got to You've got a deep secondary that you're not

1077
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna have re able to replace Derwin James, but they

1078
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: can line up and play. I think they'll be good

1079
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: on that side the ball. To me, buckets, it's just

1080
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: that offensive line. Yeah, it need The offensive line's is

1081
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: definitely a concern. The Occoon injury and situation is significant.

1082
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: You wonder whether they be able to replace them. Can

1083
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: they protect um? They need to also be able to

1084
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: impose their will at the end of games, because Philip

1085
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: rivers no doubt we'll get them out and they all

1086
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: run out to a lead, but they still need able

1087
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: to to run it out, meaning to grind it to

1088
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: finish it out. Do they have the ability to kind

1089
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: of change and become the physical style team when they

1090
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: need to, especially as you get later in the year,

1091
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: when you get to the playoffs, when you kind of

1092
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: have to be able to play that hard nosed, old school,

1093
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: uh run it and pound it down, your down your

1094
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: throat type type game. Uh, let's go to Denver Broncos

1095
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos um. Look, Vic Fangio comes in,

1096
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: and I actually believe this defense, this defense is gonna

1097
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: play at a high level. I believe this defense may

1098
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: merge as one of those top five defenses. So I'm

1099
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: really concerned about the offense. What does this offense look

1100
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: like with Joe Flacco at quarterback? Can Joe Flacco make

1101
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: enough plays in this system which is very similar to

1102
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: the system that Kle Shanahan run to the one that

1103
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco ran in Baltimore when Gary Kubiak was there.

1104
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: Can he be effected with the movement based passing game,

1105
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: off play action? Can he take some shots? Can he

1106
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: hit some receivers down the field. If they can put

1107
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: up twenty two twenty three points on a on a

1108
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: weekly basis, I think these defense can kind of keep

1109
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: them in the mix and eventually helped him win games.

1110
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: I think the defense is gonna be outstanding. I still

1111
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: think it's the same old same all the offensive line

1112
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: again with this team a division, with those pass stressers

1113
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: we were just talking about, Garrett Bowls has to play better.

1114
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: We'll see what kind of improvement he makes this year

1115
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 1: and if this scheme fits him a little bit better.

1116
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: But that, to me is is the number one issue,

1117
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping we se Emmanuel standards back healthy, look

1118
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: good what we saw in the preseason. But I think

1119
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: he's a nice compliment there to Courtland Sutton, and I

1120
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: think they'll be fine there at the receiver position. Uh

1121
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: Dashon Hamilton's there also, But to me, it again comes

1122
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: down to that offensive line. I think Flacco, if he's

1123
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: protected with those whiteouts. I think he'd be line absolutely,

1124
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: he would be find He has to be able to

1125
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: push it down the field. They can create some some

1126
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: plays where we talk about it, where they're playing downhill,

1127
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: meaning they're making teams chase points, and then their defense

1128
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: can play to the strength where you got Chubb and

1129
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: von Miller getting after it. That gives them a chance

1130
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: to win. The last team, let's talk about the Oakland

1131
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: Slash Las Vegas Raiders. John Gruden is fully immersed in

1132
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: the team now, he has a full year under his belt.

1133
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: He has some of the players that he wants um,

1134
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: he has a b to go around Derek Carr and

1135
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: all the weapons. Offensively, they've upgraded. But still wonder about

1136
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: this defense because at the end of the day, this

1137
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: defense was bad. His defense couldn't get stopped, his defense

1138
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: couldn't create pressure, especially after they let go Khalil Mac.

1139
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: I still see some of the same issues. I don't

1140
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: knew who the number one pass rush is going to be.

1141
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to affect the quarterback

1142
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: and make him change. Uh. John Gruten has to get

1143
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: this defense going, and I just don't know if they

1144
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: have enough weapons to make it happen. Yeah. Look to me,

1145
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: I think it's still gonna be a little bit of

1146
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: a long year. I think you'll see some inconsistency on

1147
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. I do think it

1148
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: was a big addition along that offensive line. Trent Brown,

1149
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a right handed run team. He

1150
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: can really generate some movement there. Josh Jacobs will be solid.

1151
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: I just don't know, you know what we're gonna see

1152
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 1: from this defense. If you don't have a pass rush

1153
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: and you get behind in games, I don't know this

1154
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: Raiders offense is gonna be built to play catch up,

1155
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: even with Antonio Brown and Tyrode Williams. I just I

1156
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: don't know that they have enough. And if they have,

1157
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, a quarterback play that's gonna be able to

1158
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: play from from that spot. I just that's where I

1159
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. And so to me, if they can stay

1160
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: competitive in games, stay in games, I think they'll they'll

1161
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: be fine. If if they get down early, which I

1162
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: think could happen. Um, I think this team is in

1163
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: trouble again. So Um, I don't know, what do you think, Buck,

1164
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking for the Raiders, six seven wins, maybe six

1165
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: seven wins. A lot of it depends on how explosive

1166
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: the offense is. Is. If the offense is explosive, then

1167
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: maybe it gives them a chance to maybe do some stuff.

1168
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be tough because this division and stuff,

1169
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: and you talk about a top of division. The Chiefs

1170
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: and the charge we know are legit. They don't have

1171
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: many weaknesses. The Broncos have a standout defense, and so

1172
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: I just don't know what the Raiders can hang their

1173
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: hat on to close ground. But we'll see. Maybe Derek

1174
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: Cark can play at an m VP level and he

1175
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: and a b have a tremendous connection. Josh Jacobs gives

1176
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: them some of the offensive Rookie of the Year type production. Um,

1177
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: but they got their work cut out for them. It's

1178
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for them to make up ground in

1179
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: this division. Well, you know, I worked for the Chargers.

1180
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: I call their games, um every every weekend there with

1181
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: our buddy Matt money Smith. So I won't pick a

1182
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: winner in this division. But who do you like? Would

1183
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: you like to win this thing? I like Kansa City

1184
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: to win it again. And I know in spite of

1185
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: their defense, um, you know, I just like this defense

1186
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: is better. It can be better, it doesn't have to

1187
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: be much better. But this offense is I mean literally,

1188
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: it's a video game offense. Like they they are ninety

1189
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: nines all over the board, like they have speed everywhere.

1190
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: They can make plays, They can do a lot of

1191
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: creative things offensively. And then Shady McCoy. Look for Shady McCoy.

1192
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: They have a bigger He's not the same Shade McCoy

1193
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: that was in Philly. But when you look at the Chiefs,

1194
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: their screen draw run game man, Shady McCoy could have

1195
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: a field day because he's gonna get light boxes, maybe

1196
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: the lightest boxes that he may have ever seen in

1197
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 1: his career, even better than what he saw in Philly,

1198
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 1: what he saw in Buffalo. Because of the Tyreek Hill

1199
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey, there won't be extra defenders sniffing around.

1200
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: He may kind of find to found the youth in

1201
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City. It's gonna be fun to watch that Chief's

1202
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: offense again, gonna be dynamic and gonna be special. Well,

1203
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: I do think these are gonna be two competitive divisions, uh,

1204
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: the NFC and a f C West. I think there's

1205
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: a chance we see multiple playoff teams from each division,

1206
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: and Uh, it's gonna be fun to follow these teams.

1207
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to follow. And one thing that

1208
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 1: I learned from playing and playing in Buffalo and the

1209
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: Marv Levy he always talked about your team needs to

1210
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: be built to win your division. And ultimately, when you're

1211
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: a team building, you're thinking about building a team that

1212
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: can dominate the division in every area. And and what's

1213
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: interesting is watching how these teams are very very complementary

1214
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: and turn is of the style of play and what

1215
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: they do. You can tell that there's a certain style

1216
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: and impression that is left that has been left on

1217
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: the head coaches and they're making sure that these teams

1218
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: can play that style because it's gonna be necessary to

1219
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,560
