Hi, everybody, and welcome to 6 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: the Monday Morning Podcast. One of my faves that keep 7 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: to leave joins us in about seven eight minutes. I've 8 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of thoughts over. I watched every single 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: NFL preseason game, and let's just go into the quarterbacks, 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: because that's what most of us were drawn to. The quarterbacks. 11 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: So for the sake of this rant, let's include Jordan 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: Love in the rookie quarterbacks, Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Trevor Lawrence, 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Sack Wilson, mac Jones, and Jordan Love since he didn't 14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: dress last year, I thought of those six, five had 15 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: moments of brilliance. And mac Jones maybe in the perfect situation. 16 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't think he has a terribly highest ceiling. But 17 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: New England's not going to ask him to do things 18 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: that the Bears are going to ask Justin Fields to 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: do behind a fairly patchwork offensive line. They just brought 20 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: in Jason Peters. So let's start with Justin Fields six, three, two, 21 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: twenty eight sizes, fine, arms, excellent. I think what you're 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: going to see without offensive line and really limited skill 23 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: people after Alan Robinson, you know, it's a bunch of 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: emerging young wide receiver talent. Cole Comets a very good 25 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: young tight end, but he's a young tight end. They 26 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: have one running back who got dinged up. They don't 27 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: have a ton of depth at the skill positions, so 28 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: they're going to lean on Justin Fields a lot. A 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: source I trust told me that he struggled this first 30 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: couple of weeks in camp, but over the last week 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: it's really come around. He's a kid that because he 32 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of weapons, not a lot of 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: receivers can get themselves open. He's going to look downfield 34 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: and if the first or second option isn't there, he's 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: going to flush out to the right and run a lot. 36 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: The good news is he'll make a lot of plays, 37 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: a lot of plays. He looked a little nervous early, 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: but he's a huge talent and I think he's going 39 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 1: to start game one. Trey Lance, I thought he looked 40 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: as good as any of them. Not a shock. He's 41 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: got arguably the best offensive coach and the best roster. 42 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: That's something we have to add context to this stuff. 43 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I watch Jacksonville play Cleveland. Does Jacksonville have 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: two starters that would start for Cleveland? Does Jacksonville have 45 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: five starters on their second team that would start for Cleveland. 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: I mean that's just a total physical mismatch in some 47 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: of these games. So Trey Lance, the Niners have a 48 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: super Bowl roster and a super Bowl coach. I thought 49 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: Trey looked great. I also think that offense is complex. 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: He'll continue to grow. I think Garoppolo starts the season. 51 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: He has a very lively arm, super athletic, great size. 52 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: I think, you know, he is the one quarterback that 53 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: I think has a chance to advance in his first 54 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs. Trey Lance could be the starting 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: quarterback end of this year and win a playoff game, 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: largely because of what's around him. Listen, Veteran quarterbacks need help. 57 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Young quarterbacks need more help. But I think Trey Lance 58 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: is in a perfect situation. He's got playmakers all over 59 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: the place. Brandon au Kittle, Trevor Lawrence made two great throws. 60 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: It's a bad team. It's a complete utter gut job. 61 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: It is a remodel, it's a rehab. He made two 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: great throws against a far superior roster. Cleveland's got a 63 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: top three roster in the NFL. JAG's got to bottom 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: two roster. I don't know what to take of it. 65 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: He looked comfortable. He made a great throw up the sideline. 66 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: There's not a lot I can say. I think he's 67 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna win about six games. Urban Meyer needs one more 68 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: draft and one more free agency pier. He had to 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: really compete on an even playing field. Zach Wilson, as 70 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: we suspected, very lively, arm and moves well. He does 71 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: look small. I think he has the fourth best coach 72 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: in his division. There have been some comparisons made to 73 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the way the ball comes out of 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: his hand. It's very lively, it looks beautiful. As I've said, 75 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,119 Speaker 1: he's a little small for me. He's got the worst roster, 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: probably the fourth best coach in a division. You can 77 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: just put down Owen four against the Patriots and the Bills. 78 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Just put Owen four to probably Owen six. If you 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: put in the Dolphins, he is going to be fighting uphill. 80 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: Of all the rookie quarterbacks, I think he has the 81 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: worst spot. I love Joe Douglas, but listen, the kid 82 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: made a couple of really quick, clever throws. And I 83 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: will say this, this team is not breaft of talent 84 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: the offensive line. They have a very good left tackle, 85 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: Elijah Vera Tucker. I mean they've got some talent here. 86 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean Darnald was pressured on forty two percent of 87 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: the snaps last year. That is just from a franchise standpoint, embarrassing. 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: So between Beckton and Elijah Vera Tucker, the Jets are 89 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: in far better shape upfront. Mac Jones low ceiling, not 90 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: a playmaker. He is not the ideal quarterback for twenty 91 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: one twenty two NFL football. But I said this on 92 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: TV last week. The Patriots do not have the kind 93 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 1: of offensive talent that can overcome turnovers. And I could 94 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: very easily see that franchise and that coaching staff talking 95 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: themselves into Mac Jones and occasionally bringing in packages for 96 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: Cam Newton near the goal line. Mac Jones can get 97 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: you out of trouble the line of scrimmage, can get 98 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: you into the right formation. He's a more accurate thrower, 99 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: good feet, steady, you know, throws a nice deep ball, 100 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: doesn't have a huge arm. But again, you know what 101 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: New England's going to look like this year. They're to 102 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: look like the Miami Dolphins last year. Now, the Dolphins 103 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: this year have added Jaylen Waddle Will Fuller, so they're 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: going to have a lot more speed and punch on 105 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: the perimeter. New England is going to look a lot 106 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: like Miami last year with twa playing they went ten 107 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: and six. Two went six and three with below average 108 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: quarterback play, but great coaching, great defense, good special teams. 109 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: The difference is New England has maybe the best screen 110 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: game in the NFL next to San Francisco, and all 111 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: sorts of depth at running back. So you know the 112 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: interesting thing about this, if you told me at the 113 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: end of the year, Mac Jones and Trey Lance were 114 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: the winningest of these quarterbacks, that would make a lot 115 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: of sense to me, even though I think Mac Jones 116 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: has an incredibly low ceiling. And then Jordan Love, he 117 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: got dinged up. I saw about five minutes of Jordan Love. 118 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: He is the quarterback I saw the least of. He 119 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: had a lively arm, He looked in control, he looked comfortable. 120 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: I thought he played well. You know, he's in the 121 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: most unique position of all these quarterbacks. The fans aren't 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: crying out for him. He's got a really good team. 123 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: There's no urgency on his improvement. That's a really comfortable 124 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: place to be. So I thought, all these guys look good. 125 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Here's what didn't look good. It may have been the 126 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: worst weekend of offensive line play I've seen in my life. 127 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: So what is happening right now? There's a division. There's 128 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: the Belichick coaches and the Sean McVay coaches. If you 129 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: looked at the number of players starters that were held out, 130 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: the Rams with Sean McVay had thirty eight players held out. 131 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: Next was Matt Lafleur, his buddy. I think they had 132 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: like thirty thirty two players held out. Many of the 133 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: young coaches, this is a cultural change. They're following the 134 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: lead of their pie piper, Sean McVay, the young guy 135 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 1: to get to a Super Bowl. They're not playing any 136 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: of their top players. Now, who did play a lot 137 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: of starters Belichick, Bruce Arians, Mike Tomlin, Andy Reid, a 138 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: lot of the veteran coaches generationally, we're gonna play our guys. 139 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: So I mean, Tampa clearly doesn't have to play their guys, 140 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: but Bruce arians played them. But for a lot of 141 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: these teams, I mean, how many great offensive lines were 142 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: there in the NFL? Last year? Colts was really good, 143 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: Rams graded high. I thought it was a good offensive line. 144 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was great. Dallas. When healthy is good, 145 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: it's no longer great. I thought the Raiders was underrated. Okay, 146 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: those teams now are not playing starting offensive linemen, and 147 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: the one unit in the NFL that is worse than 148 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: ten years ago. It feels like to me, as offensive line, 149 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I think there's more great edge rushers, far more great 150 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver and tight end talents, more good young quarterbacks, 151 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: tons of dbs and safeties, I like linebackers, athletes. Everywhere. 152 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: Offensive line play has regressed. Some of it is college 153 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: football now. All these teams run the spread. You get 154 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: very few Wisconsin Michigan offensive linemen that come out of 155 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: college ready to greater road. These guys just they're not 156 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: as physical as what college football produced ten years ago, 157 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: and there's less hitting at practice. There's less practice, So 158 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: the symmetry and the chemistry with offensive lines, to me, 159 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: is eroded over the last half decade or more so. 160 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: I thought that was noticeable. The Colts had arguably the 161 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: best offensive line in the NFL last year. Their offensive 162 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: line against Carolina was pathetic, is embarrassing at left tackled. 163 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: They got to get Eric fisherback really badly. Here's something 164 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: else that jumped out to me. We all discussed the 165 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,479 Speaker 1: Brady Belichick split and how valuable Brady was to Belichick, 166 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: but we've really never discussed how valuable Drew Brees was 167 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: for Sean Payton. If you watch that Saints game, they 168 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: had six turnovers. They don't know who the starting quarterback is. 169 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks are limited, one's turnover prone and one is 170 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: just an average thrower. Michael Thomas Now and Sean Payton 171 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: are at odds. To get under the cap. They've had 172 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: to get rid of multiple high end defensive players. You know, 173 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll had a losing record in the NFL pre 174 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Bill Belichick is now losing post Tom Brady. 175 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: I think we've just overlooked how crucial Breeze was to 176 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: New Orleans. And much like Brady, it's not just his 177 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: play he was the soul of the franchise. I mean, 178 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: how many guys have we seen offensive lineman cry as 179 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: they leave the Saints and retire or they're traded. I mean, 180 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy, who played against him in Tampa, told me 181 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: on the air one time he was the most important 182 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: person in the league for him as a buccaneer early 183 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: in his career, constantly calling him, checking on him, making 184 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: sure he was okay, giving him guidance. So we can 185 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: talk Brady and Belichick, but Breeze and Peyton. Somebody I 186 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: trust who bets a lot of money on football said 187 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: he thinks Vegas makes very few mistakes, but they have 188 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: whiffed on the Saints. He thinks it's a seven win team. 189 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: That's it. And listen, did you really think New England 190 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: would be the bb gun they were last year? I mean, 191 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: don't kid yourself. If Michael Thomas doesn't play, this is 192 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: New England's offense. That's what it is. It's New England's 193 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: offense last year. No cheap points. And if you're going 194 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: to rely on Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston for twelve 195 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: play drives, good luck. Those are not twelve play drive quarterbacks. Well, 196 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: we talked about the cultural change in the NFL. There's 197 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: the Belichick coaches who play their starters in the preseason, 198 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: the Pied Piper McVay coaches who don't play their starters. 199 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: Here's the guy who played with both a keeb to lead, 200 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: the five time pro bowler and the Super Bowl winner. 201 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's start with this a kebe. You just 202 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: went on vacation. Where does a kebe to leave go 203 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: on vacation? Oh? Man, this was before I tell you 204 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: where I went. This was probably my number one trip. 205 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: Me and the wife got away from the kids the 206 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: SLS Bahamas. That's a nice vibe there. It's a great 207 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: vibe callage. I mean, if you go, if you go 208 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: with the wife, you're gonna have a great time. If 209 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: a single dude went alone, he'd have a great time. 210 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: If you go with the kids, you have a great time. 211 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: So it's it's checking all boxes, man. It's everything from 212 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: beaches to the so many pools, water park there, casino 213 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. It's a great time man. So you know, 214 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: we went out there for six days. We had a 215 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: great time. Who tipped you off to it? Uh? You know? 216 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: The wife she stays on the internet doing some stuff, man. 217 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: So you know she's seen the songwhere I don't even 218 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: know she's seen it songwhere? Man, you know, send me 219 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: some pictures and stuff. I'm like, where is that? She said? 220 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: It was the SLS Bahamas a great time. By the way, 221 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: it looks like you're in a new room. Is this 222 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: your house? You're gonna yeah, I'm at home. I'm at 223 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: home to day. Man.

I landed about two hours ago, so 225 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: I was too tired to move around. I'm take care 226 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: of beach from today. Which game? Which game did you call? 227 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna call games for Fox this? Ye? Who'd you call? Well? 228 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: I didn't do for Fox yesterday. I did the Rams 229 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: preseason game I got. I got the Rams preseason as well, 230 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: so called that first game Rams charges yesterday. Listen, those 231 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: coaches we were just talking about this, the young coaches. 232 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: They don't want to play any of their good players. 233 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: You know who did play? You know who did play 234 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: tom Arians read. They don't play their dudes cool. They 235 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: want to see Yeah, So let me tell you which 236 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: do you prefer. Do you prefer the McVeigh guys and 237 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: the young guys who aren't playing them, the veteran coaches 238 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: who want to play them, Like, did you want to 239 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: play preseason? Well, I ain't gonna lie, Colin. When when 240 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: I was young, I say up to about like you're 241 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: seven or you're eight. I used to like to get 242 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: my preseason games in. Man, let me let me play 243 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: one series the first game, let me play three series 244 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: the second game, and let us play a quarter and 245 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: a half that third game. So I just used to 246 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: it's a it's a certain balance that you play with, right. 247 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: I talked about this on the game yesterday. It's a 248 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: certain balance that you play with, and they called it 249 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: like getting your feet up under you right where you're 250 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: not tripping and falling. Even if you look at football 251 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: early in the season, there's a lot of linemen on 252 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: the ground and stuff just because people don't get that 253 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: feet up onder them. You don't got that many four 254 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: speed reps yet. So I used to like to get 255 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: my little jitters out and you know, slow down real 256 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: quick and get my feet up under me. You know 257 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I ain't on a preseason, but 258 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: once I got you're nine, you're a team I could 259 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: I can kind of get my feet up nder me 260 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: in these first two games and saying I know how 261 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: to do that. Now I'm saying I know how. I'm 262 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: smart enough where I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get 263 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: beat because when I'm getting my feet upon of me, 264 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: i might not make as many plays, but we'll be 265 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: rolling week three, week fold.

Now, the current 300 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: trend in the NFL is more inner squad scrimmages and 301 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: like like the Panthers will go to Indie and practice 302 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: against the Colts. Did you ever get ship at any 303 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: of that stuff? Is it intense enough to matter? Oh? 304 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that's work. It's it's a that's the highest 305 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: practice tempo. That's the closest thing you can get to 306 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: the game. Because sometimes in training camp it's even fans 307 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: out there. So you have another team. We went to Oakland, 308 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: I went to a bunch of teams, so you have 309 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: fans out there, so you know, you don't want to 310 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: get beat in front of fans, so that's gonna crank 311 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: you up a little bit. And then you plan against 312 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: other guys, against another squad, so it's not quite a game, 313 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: but it's the closest you're gonna get to the game. 314 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: So that's that's great work. And I think that's a 315 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: big reason why Sean and Coach Staley and those guys 316 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: don't play their guys because they like, this is that's 317 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: all we need right there. We're doing everything but take 318 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: you to the ground. And in the inner squad, inner 319 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: squad scrimmages, so you get a lot out of it. 320 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: You know, it was interesting. I was really excited to 321 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: see Justin Fields. First of all, I know Trevor Lawrence 322 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: is going to be good, but he's not gonna win 323 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: a lot of games. Jordan loves not going to play. 324 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: I kind of know what Mac Jones does and doesn't do. 325 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is going to a great coach and a 326 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: great team. Probably won't start, but he'll succeed. To me, 327 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is a guy that it could go either way. 328 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: Now I'm a huge fan of his, but let's be honest. 329 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: He may have a different coach by year two. He'll 330 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: have a different coordinator by year two. I don't love 331 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: their roster. They have very few elite offensive players when 332 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: you watched When I watched him, I thought he was 333 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: a little nervous early. But I think sometimes a key 334 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: people don't add context. That's a bad online. I mean, 335 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: it's patchwork. They just signed Jason Peters, who I thought 336 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: was like going to retire. What did you make of 337 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: the Bears young quarterback when you watched him? Well, I 338 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: didn't watch the game, like I said, I was calling 339 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: that game, my own game yesterday. But I did watch 340 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: the highlights you know here to talk and stuff. And 341 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,239 Speaker 1: from what I've seen on the highlights, man, and just 342 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: what I've seen in the past, it's there. It's a 343 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: it's a certain we call it. It's there. Just that confidence, 344 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: that ability to get in there and actually be the 345 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: quarterback and not share this thing to pieces, right, So 346 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: I think it's there. So as long as he keeps 347 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: playing with that confidence, man, and he got the number 348 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: one receiver over there, I think he's gonna be all right. Man. 349 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: It's it's one guy, take you so far. If you 350 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: just know that, you got a guy who can win 351 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: even when he ain't open, he can win over there. 352 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: So his number one receiver gonna help him out a lot. 353 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: And and that confidence gonna help him out a lot. Man. 354 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: As long as he keeps those two things, and I 355 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: think he in good shape. Now. Who was the youngest 356 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: quarterback you ever played with? I say, Josh Freeman. I 357 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: mean it's rookie. Came in at Lunkie. He played, okay, 358 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: let's go back to it. He had some moments, Josh, 359 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: Josh had talent. When did you feel like during the 360 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: Josh Freeman moments it's not gonna work? Was there a 361 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: moment you thought this just doesn't feel quite as good 362 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: as it needs to be? Uh well normal? Like what 363 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: I know now? I probably say, like when he out 364 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: with me right on the Thursday and we vibe in it, 365 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: probably are gonna work. He ain't puposed to be here, 366 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: He ain't posed to be right, Matt, you know what 367 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But back then, you know, I ain't know 368 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: no better than I'm thinking. We this this the NFL, right, 369 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: that's our guys do. But h I say, and just 370 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: when the confidence start to leave? Man? When when when 371 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: we start to make plays against you in practice and 372 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: just not the same guy? You know, you're not the 373 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: same guy in the building, not up tempo, whole lot 374 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: of jokes in the building. When when you have a 375 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: bad day against us and it kind of change you. Man, 376 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: you know a bad day in the game is probably 377 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: gonna change you can work. So I say, I say, Man, 378 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I played against Josh two in college, 379 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: so I don't I believed in him, but I didn't 380 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: know if I don't know, if I ever thought Josh 381 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: was gonna come in and like me, you know, Troy 382 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Aikman or somebody like I'm saying, I ain't. I don't 383 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: know if I ever thought that. I thought I thought 384 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: he got a big arm. I don't really know what 385 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: they expected. Well, you played with the Goat, you played 386 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: with Josh that didn't work, and you played with Golf 387 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: that worked good enough to get to a super Bowl. 388 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: McVeigh lost confidence last year in golf. I think it 389 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: was the forty nine er game. He had a couple 390 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: of bad turnovers. You know, when you were with Golf, 391 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: did you think it was gonna work long term or 392 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: did you think it was more McVay making it work 393 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: or Golf making it work well when I was with 394 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: When I was with Golf, I felt like they was 395 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: the perfect team. Honestly, I felt like Sean is a 396 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: big personality. He wants stuff done like this, Jared's kind 397 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: of laid back. What I'm saying, you could tell him 398 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: he cool, all right, back league guy. You know what 399 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying. He laid back. Whom get the job done. 400 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna execute what you're trying to get done. He 401 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: had a big arm. You want guys to run big 402 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: post corners, boom, being this way and then being back 403 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: this way. Whom I gotta let that thing go. Jered 404 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: can make all those throws. I could see him. I 405 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: gotta roll this way, set up to override over here. 406 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: Jerry can make all those throlls. So I thought that 407 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: that Jared could get the job done. And I thought 408 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: that Sean did a good job relaying this message in leading. 409 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: So I didn't think it was I didn't think it 410 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: was one sided. I thought it was both of those 411 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: guys who really did their job. Most people think matt 412 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: Stafford and Sean McVay will work, do you. I think 413 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: they will, just because just because they both vetted, they 414 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: both they both got that common goal. Man. They both 415 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: like right at that point where you know, we gotta win, 416 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: They both at that we gotta wins parts. So I 417 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: think they both gonna kind of put the ego to 418 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: the side a little bit so they can so they 419 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: can get that done. Man. And Matthew Stafford been through 420 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: it all. He's talented it and you know he played 421 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: a lot of football. He'd be like a coach on 422 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: the field. That's what Sean, That's what he explained to me. 423 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: He said, you say coach on the field. But this situation, 424 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: you really really almost got like a coach on the field. Man. 425 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: That's how well he knows schemes and he knows defenses. 426 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: He know pre snap stuff. So I think it'll work, man, 427 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: I think that'd be good. And then they got they 428 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: got a badass defense to play with two man that 429 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: always helped. Well, yeah, you're not in shootouts every week, 430 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: right like he was in Detroit. Now you faced him 431 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: how many times Matt Stafford in your career because you 432 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: did a lot of AFC stuff, so you probably didn't 433 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: face him a ton. I think I faced him twice. 434 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: I think I faced him, you know, I think twice. 435 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: I say twice. How'd you do? Oh solid? I mean 436 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: the first time, I think he threw a bunch of 437 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: deep ball to Calvin. Man. I got a lot of 438 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: safety health. It was jump balls me and Calvin. Calvin 439 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: had two touchdowns that game. One was in two man, 440 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: are safety leaning to the tight end pedigrew when we 441 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: got Calvin Johnson over here? Don't lean the pedigrew when 442 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson is over here with me, right, And then 443 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: it was a hitching goal too, So you know, not 444 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: all the way my fault that was like twenty yards, 445 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: and one was the hurry up, the hurry up quick 446 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: fade that's on the highlight every time you see highlights 447 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: on I'm on his highlight take on Calvin johnsonhighight take. 448 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: But he only had sixty six yards sixty six yards, 449 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: two touchdown. The second game he has zero touchdowns. He 450 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: has seventy some yards. I followed him. I followed him 451 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: left to right both games, so I fare pretty well. 452 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: And then the first game when he had two touchdowns 453 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: sixty six yards, I had an interception for a touchdown, 454 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: so I matched one of the touchdowns with him. Now Stanford, Stanford, 455 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: unlike golf, he'll let it loose, He'll take some chances. 456 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: You sense that, Oh definitely, Oh definitely. I played against 457 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: him twice and both times a few times I had 458 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: some great coverage. And I ain't no slouts on the 459 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: deep balls. People don't just throw me deep balls, right, Colin. 460 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: I ain't never really just got balls just thrown up 461 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: to me, right. Matt Stafford did. He did when I 462 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: was in Tampa. He did when I was when I 463 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: was in Denver. You know what I'm saying. I think 464 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: that was the year we won the Super Bowl too, 465 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: So this was this was lead lead you know what 466 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying. He threw balls that way, man, so he's 467 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: gonna let it go, tight windows and everything, he's gonna 468 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: let it go. So it's hard to say who's good 469 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: who's not. Um, you know, my takeaway is, let's talk 470 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: Mac Jones on Thursday night. So if you were Belichick 471 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: and you know him, you were there for years, right, 472 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: they can make two arguments. They can make the argument 473 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: that we don't have a ton of playmakers. We need 474 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: a playmaker at quarterback. Cam will give us something Mac won't. 475 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: Or they can make this argument as a staff at 476 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: keeb Okay, we're not talented enough offensively to turn the 477 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: ball over, right, Okay, Mac Jones more accurate, Um, get 478 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: the ball out quickly, not gonna run around. You know, 479 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: Cam last year had picks, he has humbles. They can 480 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: make two compelling arguments. We need Camps playmaking or you 481 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: know what, we want a guy that just delivers the ball, distributes, 482 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: get us in and out of trouble, and then let's 483 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: our defense win. Your gut feeling on which way Belichick 484 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: you're around him, which way he'd go? I definitely think 485 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: he'd go Cam, just because I think Bill is big 486 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: on leadership, right, and you know, man, who's gonna who's 487 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: gonna be the best leader in that huddle? And that's 488 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: by far Cam. So I think Bill think even though 489 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: mac Jones might be more accurate, he might be you know, 490 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: slower to throw something in the traffic and throw the 491 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: check down quicker than Camp. You might try not, I 492 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: ain't gonna miss this thing up. I might not make 493 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: no plays. I might not ain't gonna miss this his 494 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: name up though he know he's gonna get that. But 495 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: who's gonna be the best leader in his huddle? You 496 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? When things get tough, who gonna 497 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: keep the guys together? Who're gonna you know, rather the troops? 498 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: When when fourth quarter, when when they need to be rallied? 499 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: And you got to say that's Camp. Are you surprised 500 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: Cam struggled most of last year though? But are you 501 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: surprised that the patriot culture and Cam have worked because 502 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: by and large he compliments it, Belichick compliments him. There's 503 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: been no rough spots. I mean last year he got 504 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: COVID in the middle of the year, So I kind 505 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: of gave him a pass. At the end of the year, 506 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty well. Are you kind of 507 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: surprised at well? I am. I'm surprised it works. Me 508 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: being there, I'm not surprised it worked because Cam is 509 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: a leader. Like I said, he a great leader, and 510 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: you're not gonna outwork them. He one of them guys 511 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: like I might be Hollywood, I might dress like this, 512 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: but he worked hello hard like Odell. He one of 513 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: those kind of guys. May you not gonna match stay 514 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: work and shit like that. That Bill respect. You're a 515 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: leader and you worked like that. You're competitive like that. 516 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: You bow down to nobody. I compete against anybody, any whatever, 517 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: no matter whom I received. Let's go Bill respect that 518 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: man So and Cam different. Man. I'm telling you that 519 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: leadership he got is you got leaders, then you got 520 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: guys like Cam So the top nos a leader. Man, 521 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: he gonna bring guys all the way together. So Bill 522 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: Field had in the building. As I watched all this 523 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: stuff this weekend, I thought, Minnesota is going to be 524 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: a team that's going to really bounce back. I think 525 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Zimmer's a pretty good coach. They had a ton of injuries. 526 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: Then I watched them against Denver and God, they were atrocious. 527 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: Everything was bad, Punting was bad. Do you take if 528 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm listening to this podcast, do you take anything from 529 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: the preseason to'll go back to your career. Was there 530 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: ever something a key that you saw in your preseason 531 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: and you're like it stayed with you all season? You 532 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: just never got better at it? Nah? Nah, definitely, I 533 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: don't think so. Man, preseason almost like a practice. You're 534 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: tackling guys, but it's not fullis. It's not pulls speed. 535 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: It might be pullspeed putting young guys when the starters 536 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: and stuff in there. Man, you still can't go full 537 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: speed if it ain't for all the marbles, which is 538 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: a win or a loss. You're just not gonna go 539 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: your full speed. So I don't take too much from it. Man, 540 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: guy's gonna go play hard. But you know, if they're 541 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: go play the same game next week, they may do 542 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: that to Denver, you know what I'm saying. So it's 543 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: more like a practice. To me, it's more like a 544 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: full speed, turned up practice. So I don't know. Denver 545 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: looked good though, Man, I didn't want to take nothing 546 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: away from Denver, don't That's what I don't want to 547 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: do on here. I want to take it away from Denver. 548 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: Drew Locke looked great, the play cars looked great, the 549 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: old line looked great. Man. So I don't want to 550 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: take nothing away from those guys. Those guys came out 551 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: and did what they posted to y'all think with the 552 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: underdogs were planned. They came out and punched them boys 553 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: in their face. So, but that's that's kind of how 554 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: practice is. Like if you when you had those joint practices, 555 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: usually this is how they go. So look, whoever, like 556 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: the you know, the Alpha team, they usually come out 557 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: and beat the shit out of the other team in 558 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: perfect Then the next day they kind of get off 559 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: the gas and that other team underdog team and kin 560 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: beat the ass. The next day then the Alpha team 561 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: and kind of beat the ass and then go back 562 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 1: and get on the bus like, yeah, we beat all 563 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: lass last what I'm saying. Then usually play them in 564 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: the game, and you usually the APPHA team used to 565 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: beat their ass in that game, so it just kind 566 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: of went the opposite. This time. They kind of went 567 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: back and forth and practice and then when they shut 568 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: up to the game, the underdog team came out with 569 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: all the energy and Rundom Boys off the field. So 570 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: so you're gonna do work with Gus Johnson this year 571 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: for Fox and you sound so one of the reasons 572 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 1: we hired you at the volume because I said, nobody 573 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: sounds like a keyb on the air. He's very raw 574 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: and authentic, and all these analysts, a lot of them 575 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: just sound alike. They're safe, they're predictable. So when you 576 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: did a game last year, I remember you had this 577 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: suit on. People were talking about your suit, they were 578 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: talking about your style. Do you like doing games? If so, why? 579 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: I do like doing games, and I like doing them 580 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: because I think it's the closest that you get to 581 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: playing without without playing. I mean maybe coaching, right, because 582 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: I coached my little my son team they eight years old. 583 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,239 Speaker 1: But like when the game in there, it's like I 584 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: want to go play, but I can't play. So you 585 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: gotta you like in the game, right, So I say, 586 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: you're playing you in the game coaching. That's the closest 587 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna get to the playing in the game. And 588 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: then when you're in that box, I feel like that's 589 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: the next that's the that's the third step. That's the 590 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: closest you're gonna get if you ain't playing their coaching. 591 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: That's the closest you can get to the game because 592 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: you like the voice of the game man. So you 593 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: you full speed, You in it, You in it with 594 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: the players, and you know, we gotta, we gotta, we 595 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: love that. We addicted to that. So I still get 596 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: that fixed. Does the game move faster or slower to 597 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: you when you broadcast it? Oh, it moved faster. Right now. 598 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm a rookie. I'm a young guy, so I don't 599 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: I guess in the league they say you're still a 600 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: rookie till you played like four games or something, right, 601 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 1: So I ain't called four game, So I'm still a rookie, 602 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it goes so fast 603 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: in that booth football, you should go slow to me, 604 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: especially by year five, year six, it was slow. You 605 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: did the Chargers rams. Give me one or two moments 606 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: or one or two players you took from that game 607 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: that you liked that you're worried about. Is there anything 608 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: that one or two things in that game either side 609 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: that jumped out to you. Well, Josh Palmer from the Chargers, 610 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: he came out and was huge, just his his physique. 611 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: I just looked at him like, damn, he got the 612 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: single digit on and you know, I don't know, the 613 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: single digit is making guys look look huge right now. 614 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: So he had the pile on and I just imagine 615 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, him and Keenan that's a that's a bad 616 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: receiving corps right there. Man were the old line man 617 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: and on the other side of Jacob Harris the tight end. 618 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: I just seen his movement live. That was my first 619 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: time seeing him in person, seeing his movement, saying his size, 620 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: they make it seem like it say, you know, six 621 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: five two nineteen make it seem like he's a real 622 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: like receiver, skinny kind of guy. But he actually got 623 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: some size. He here tight end. What I'm saying, you 624 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: could next year you would be ten pounds heavier. You're 625 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: a real tight end. So and he got worked. He 626 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: really got some routes in the red zone. He really 627 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: couldn't feel a void that the rams really don't have 628 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: right now, like you know, a jump ball targeting the 629 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: red zone. Just I like, I liked those two things 630 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: leaving that game. By the way, you have a great 631 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: eye for talent. So Tom Telesco is a friend of mine, 632 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: the Charger GM, and when they drafted Palmer, he said, 633 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, Tennessee didn't have a very robust offense, and 634 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, Calvin Johnson played with a quarterback in college 635 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 1: that didn't throw the ball terribly well. But we all 636 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: knew Calvin was great. But Palmer I said this when 637 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: they got drafted, I said, don't be shocked if he's 638 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: he's a Rookie of the Year candidate. So he popped 639 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: out to you first game you saw him, first game, 640 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: I see him. They targeted him like five or six 641 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: times early, and he just he just looked, I'm ahead 642 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: of it. I'm ahead of the guys who in the 643 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: game right now. I'm just a little bit ahead of y'all. 644 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: You know. I just looked comfortable. His moves, catch the ball, 645 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: get up feel. He ain't really catching them down field, 646 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: but he was just in that. He was active, he 647 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: was working, and that's I already seen him. Already seen 648 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: what he do on fifty balls in college, so I 649 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: know he could do that. And just his confidence and 650 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: how he moved in his side, that's what jumped out 651 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: to me. Do you remember your first preseason game? Hell yeah, 652 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. You know I made my first attacker. 653 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: Uh it was on Ricky Williams. Attacker Ricky Win. My 654 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: first person attacked the NFL was Ricky Williams. Shout his 655 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: legs out. They had to you know, Cracker Place, the 656 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: receiver want to go crack. So I had to come 657 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: off Cracker Place, went down to the outside, hit them legs, 658 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: took them legs out.

I'm gonna It's not that 665 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't like Kansas City. They're everybody's favorite. I think Buffalo. 666 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: I think Baltimore is gonna be a handful. I think 667 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: Cleveland's gonna be a handful. I think the Chargers are 668 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna surprise people. You know it's not gonna be Buffalo 669 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: Kansas City because it's never the teams we think right, 670 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: So you're gonna go outside the box. I'm gonna go 671 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: crazy here, Chargers, Bills, AFC, throw me out. What do 672 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: you got? Oh mon day, I'm stocks was following I 673 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the preseason game Monday. Stock Is followed 674 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 1: down and see colleague Chris Stiams was on my ass 675 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: us socks bro, I see what let me get off 676 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 1: that preseason game? Look, uh ac Chip, I'm gonna go 677 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs Browns. I got no problem with it, Chiefs Browns, 678 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham comes back, great offensive line, Baker finally has 679 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 1: a legitimate head coach. K NFC. They got the pieces 680 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: to play Joe Woods defense. Joe Woods super super super 681 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: similar to Wave Phillips. You see, he went and got 682 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: He went and got Commar, John Johnson, Camaro, Troy. He 683 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: just got some bodies in his secondary. He got some 684 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: more cover guys, camarre lewsom here a man guy, Camar. 685 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: He got guys who really hit the description of that 686 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: Joe Woods defense. I think that defense is gonna be 687 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: totally different this year. Let's go to the NFCUM you 688 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: have to take Tampa simply because they have the best roster. 689 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: Seattle's not a complete team. I my gut feeling is 690 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 1: when Cam Akers got hurt. The Rams are missing a 691 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 1: leg on the bar stool. They just don't have a 692 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: running game. I'll probably Seattle Tampa, is my guest. I 693 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: don't think Seattle is a complete team. I still have 694 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: questions on the interior of the offensive line, but I 695 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: do think, you know, I do think Russell Wilson just 696 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: wins so many close games. I'd go Seattle Tampa. What 697 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: would be your call, Seattle Tampa. H Let me get 698 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: outside the box a little bit, man, I'm gonna go. 699 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: I like that West. I think somebody definitely got to 700 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: represent in the West. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Tampa. Arizona. 701 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: I like Arizona to catch fire man. And you know, 702 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny last two years, as they were 703 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: in a rebuild, Arizona's given the Seahawks, the Rams and 704 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: the Niners fits in a total rebuild. They know how 705 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: to play them guys. So so as okay, as coaches 706 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: been over there, right he went, he doing good in 707 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: the division. So you know how to play his division. 708 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: And that's that's the most important thing. Married things come 709 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: around one year, you would catch fire. As long as 710 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: you know how to win in your division. You you 711 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: in good shape, and that's what he's doing. Yeah. I 712 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: also think that division could largely be dictated by who's healthiest. 713 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: But the healthy team may just win. I mean it's 714 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, if Garoppolo goes down early and Trey's 715 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: got to play, that's not ideal. Right. If Dwayne Brown 716 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 1: got hurt left tackle for Seattle, that's a battle line overnight, exactly, 717 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: all right, to keep as as always. Great stuff, man, God, 718 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: I appreciate it, all right, buddy, take care. We have 719 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: a major announcement Tuesday.
