1
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John Mittle Cop three and

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: out podcast in the middle of Corona. I hope everyone's

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: being safe out there. Quarantining. I think I've been. I

4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: have an official mandate in the Bay Area, seven million people.

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: You got a quarantine. You gotta stay in unless your

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: dog needs to take a leak where you want to

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: get a little exercise, but you gotta stay away from people.

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: Business is shutting down crazy freaking times. I mean, I

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: as crazy as these last five or six days have been,

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's only going to get a little crazier,

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: you know. And I'll dive into just off the top,

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: some of my thoughts on the league doing this. I

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: keep going back and forth. But the league year started

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: and we got Hopkins traded, Buckner traded, Armstead resigns, Byron

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: Jones signed, Tanny Hill gets huge money, The Ravens make

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of moves. Baker has no excuse is we'll

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: talk about it all on the show. Uh, of course,

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: you can slide in my d m s at John

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: middlecoff is my Instagram and my Twitter handle. It's wide open.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: I'll try to answer a bunch of questions. I probably

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: have so many today. I don't know exactly how I'll

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: do it, but I'll attempt to and we'll just I'll

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: keep swaying. You know, what are you gonna do? Like

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I talked about on Friday, these are unprecedented times, some

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: weird territory. But luckily given what I do. I mean,

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I record this from a home office, and you guys

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: consume this on your phone, so I I guess I'm

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: lucky that you read some of these stories on guys

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: and their businesses. They're not able to come to work,

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: then I'm able to still talk about what I like

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: to talk about. And luckily I like to talk, and

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I got some takes and it happened. It's why I

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: was very uncomfortable with the NFL starting the league here,

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: and they leaked out pretty early on Sunday that they

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: tried to move this bad boy and the NFL p

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: A wouldn't allow them. Now I do understand be because

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: unlike most businesses, like I feel for the checker, it's

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: safe way right now. Where you gotta keep places like

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: safe way or wherever you may live, whatever the grocery

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: stores are so people can eat. I know the safe

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: way that I go to most of the checkers, A

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: decent percentage of them feel like they're over sixty plus

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: and they don't have a choice yet they're in there.

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people are going in and out like

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: they got to be around people they're kind of be

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: enforced to. It's it's a shitty deal, it really is.

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: And those are the type people that I'm feeling for

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: right now. And I was like, NFL free agency is

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen when all these major cities are gonna be

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: shutting down. This week, Albert Brewer Peter King talked to

51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: anonymous gms. All of them, every single one of them

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: that they quoted in their articles was just shipping on

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: this decision. Ignorant, arrogant, just ridiculous. Now the counter and

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: because I'm not just you guys know me, I'm not

55
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: moral high horse guy, but like you're not. There aren't

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: in person video os or excuse me, visits right now.

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: Those have all been canceled. If a guy is gonna

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: get a physical, it's gonna be at a neutral site,

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: which I would imagine teams are gonna be a little

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with. I got a text from someone that ran

61
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: into an NFL head coach that is in the football circle,

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: and that coach told him, like a last Friday or Saturday,

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: O t A s aren't happening. And I saw someone

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: just tweeted right before I press record the off season

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: has been suspended indefinitely. So all these guys are getting signed,

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: and I guess officially, unless they were your own guy,

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you can put pen to the paper

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: until Wednesday. But the football there's gonna be nothing really

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: happening potentially all spring. I actually have a couple of

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: theories on why Tannehill was signed there. I think Derek

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: Carr is a lot safer now because of that. It's

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: gonna have huge domino effects. Think about all the new coaches.

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: When you get hired as a new coach, your staff

74
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: is usually able to reconvene a week earlier before the

75
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: rest of the league for your off season activity. So

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: this is just listen, it's uncharted territory will take it

77
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: day by day. The league, I think I already mentioned this,

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: but the league immediately got out that it was the

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: nfl p A. The NFL p A, the Union did

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: not want this to not go down, which is understandable.

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Mike Tannembaum, former GM tweeted out on Sunday that over

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: two thirty million dollars of bonuses were due at the

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: start of the league year on Wednesday. My solution would

84
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: have been this, pay the bonuses, pushback free agency a

85
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and in tentatively and see what happens. Now.

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: I guess I'm glad it happened. It gives me a

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: lot to talk about today. But it's not like I'm

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: not even weirded out talking about it at all. I

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: I just do understand where these gms in league personnel.

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm texting with my buddies. They're not with their

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: GM right now in the scouting world. They're at home now. Luckily,

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: and I talked about this last week that a lot

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: of the works the hay is in the barn, but

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: things change, like texting with someone. With the Niners, I

95
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: don't think they exactly knew the way this was gonna

96
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: all play out. They had a plan what they were

97
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: hoping for, but you still need to get Ballad to

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: say yes on the first round pick. So you know,

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: it's just it was a crazy day. It's it's been

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: a I mean, it's been a crazy couple of weeks.

101
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: It's been a crazy weekend. And I'm talking football, I'm

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: talking Corona, I'm talking the whole thing. These are just

103
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: wild freaking times. Uh. In the NFL, they benefited from

104
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: just the time in which Corona hit was early March, right,

105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: or you could argue in February when whenever it really

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: kind of started coming. But in February, in late February,

107
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: I was at the combine. Think about that. I was.

108
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: I was talking with a buddy the other day that like,

109
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: we're at the combine. Everyone's running into each other, interviewing people,

110
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: hugging people. And three weeks later, it's like no gatherings.

111
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: A lot's changed, and I mean I think running by players, agents,

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: everyone's out of the bar. The main part the combine,

113
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: you got coaches, media. Now granted most people in there

114
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: are younger, but still it's just your shoulder to shoulder,

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: you can't move. Three weeks later, it's like oats a

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: suspended indefinitely. So you just we don't know what's coming

117
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: with this thing, because I I would have told you

118
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: a week ago, and I was someone did a couple

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Yeah, how serious is this thing well.

120
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: By about once March Madness the Master's Vegas, once Vegas

121
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: started shutting down. Now, by the time Vegas shutdown was Sunday,

122
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: it was clear that this thing was not going away

123
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: and it was getting serious. But I would say middle

124
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: of the week last week, it was clear this thing

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: was pretty nuts. Now, the NFL chose to go through

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: with it mainly, and I do think the NFL p

127
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: A forced their hand. I'm not trying to give Goodell

128
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: credit on this one because I would imagine many owners

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: and even Roger probably thought we can own the real estate,

130
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: which clearly they are. They're the only thing anyone's talking

131
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: about because they're the only thing that actually things are happening.

132
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: But you know, I think they probably could have worked

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: around it. But that's it's a pointless conversation now, because

134
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm not one to complain over something like that. Once

135
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: it happens, it's it is what it is, and we're

136
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: we're moving and forward and these are there's a lot

137
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: of movement today. You know, teams got better, some teams

138
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: got worse. As of recording this, we still don't know

139
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: some I guess Tom Brady is the big big name, uh,

140
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: and we'll get into him a little later, but I

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear. It's it's pointing like he's gonna

142
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: go back to the Patriots. But you would say that

143
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks coming full boar after him and the Chargers.

144
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: But free agencies often running. Okay, let's talk about trades,

145
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: and today you saw high level organizations, teams that know

146
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I say it all the time. The

147
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: NFL probably more than any big business in this world

148
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: because most billion dollar industries are run by smart people.

149
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos. I mean, these are highly intelligent individuals.

150
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: You can go around people running Google, you know, people

151
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: running Wells Fargo, even though actually you watch Dirty Money

152
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: on on Netflix, Well Spargo, who I'm actually I mean,

153
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: I've been banking with my whole life. Shady stuff went on.

154
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: But the NFL is clearly split between the meat heads

155
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: and the intelligent people and basically Bill O'Brien and everyone else.

156
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: The NFL is a league predicated on one obviously, good coaching,

157
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: but to win in the playoffs you need premium players.

158
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I think one of the most underrated parts about the

159
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Patriots over the years, they beat you because they had

160
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: elite players at several positions, I mean, the best quarterback ever.

161
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: They had really good offensive lines. You know, just a

162
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Trent Brown was there left tackle.

163
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: He was one of the highest paid offensive lineman ever

164
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: last year by the Raiders. He's a really good player.

165
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Gronkowski Hall of Famer, Edelman, dominant slot receiver, mccordy very

166
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: very good, Stephan Gilmore defensive player of the Year. Matt

167
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Slater is one of the greatest special teams players ever.

168
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: So look at last year the Niners, first, the Chiefs,

169
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, Kelsey, Chris Jones, Frank Clark, Mahomes, Buckner Armstead,

170
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Bossa Kittle. This is not You need elite blue chip players,

171
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: and there are two ways to get him. When you

172
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: can trade for him where you can draft him high.

173
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: But when you if you're a team gonna trade a

174
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: guy Khalil Mack, Jalen Ramsey, Laramie Tunzill, DeAndre Hopkins, you

175
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: better get a boatload back because to win big games,

176
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: you need guys like DeAndre on your team, and you

177
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: need to surround them with other elite players. And to

178
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: trade DeAndre Hopkins because you had you didn't like him

179
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: or he didn't like you or whatever for a overpaid

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: running back and a second round pick is embarrassing. Stephen

181
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: did I'm glad I recorded this late was just traded

182
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: for a first round pick. Check the resumes who you'd

183
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: rather have between DeAndre Hopkins and stef On it and

184
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: I like steff On Dicks. I might have traded a

185
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: first round pick for him. DeAndre Hopkins a better player.

186
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: You have to when you're trading a premium you have

187
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: to get a premium back. And there have been back

188
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: to back years where Bill O'Brien waited on Clowney until

189
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: the basically training camp or actually was a season already going.

190
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: I even forget and got a third round pick and

191
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: a couple of special teams players. If he would have

192
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: traded him right now, he might have got a late

193
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: first early second round pick. DeAndre Hopkins. You actually trade

194
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: at the right time, but your value and are running

195
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: back when the entire league doesn't value running backs. The

196
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: entire league goes running backs not a value right. It's

197
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: like brick and mortars right now are very hit or miss.

198
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: What does the stock market value in America? Like a

199
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: lot of tech stocks because they got big upside. Well,

200
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: I know what, running acts are not really in vogue

201
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: right now, because the the league would show you I

202
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: can get him in the third the fourth undrafted free agents,

203
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I can acquire him for cheap, and then when I

204
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: do pay him big, historically, it doesn't pay off. You

205
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: traded one of the best players in franchise history for

206
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: an overpaid running back who's been injured, which that which

207
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: the Cardinals got in the middle of the third round

208
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: in a second round pick for DeAndre Hopkins. Give me

209
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: a break, how does that happen? And they trade Stefon Diggs,

210
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: who's not as good a player as Hopkins, doesn't have

211
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: as long as a resume, and they get a first

212
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: round pick. What does it pick? One? Look at the

213
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Well, Bill O'Brien, the Ivy League meathead. That's

214
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna call him, the Ivy League meathead. The

215
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: forty Niners, Parrague NBA, Stanford one of the smartest, smartest

216
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: money guy in the league, right there with Howie and Belichick,

217
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: John Lynch, Stanford Grad, Kyle Shanahan Football. So bond. What

218
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: did they do today? They took a step back, They

219
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: took a deep breath. You know what, the forest. Buckner

220
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: was with the forty Niners, a team captain, one of

221
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: their best players. But as I said on my other podcast,

222
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Haberman and Middlecoff, about a month ago, the forty Niners

223
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: offered him sixty million dollars. Buckner. Last year he turned

224
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: it down for over sixty million and guaranteed money turned

225
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: it down. So what do you think he was looking

226
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: for this year? Huge cash? So the Niners went, Okay,

227
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: we're not gonna play chess, or excuse me, we're not

228
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna play checkers, or let's play a little chess. We

229
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: can get Armstead, who were gonna sign before Buckner, So

230
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: we don't wait till after we we trade Buckner, and

231
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: then Armstead's leverage over us goes way up. We'll get

232
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: him on a team friendly deal because he's an hour

233
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: from an hour away in Sacramento. He likes playing here,

234
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: close to his family. He's a West Coast guy. He

235
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: wants to be here. So we're gonna get him on

236
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: a number that if we were started bidding against other people,

237
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: that number would be higher. We'll get him to sign.

238
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Then we will trade Buckner, who we love and is

239
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: a overall is a more complete player than Armstead. While

240
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: Armstead's higher upside as an interior pass rush might be there,

241
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: but there's still some unknown He's a one year wonder.

242
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: But to me, the point is I get him for

243
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: way cheaper, and I trade Buckner and I get picked

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: thirteen the Forest Buckner. You know, you could argue as

245
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: at the career of DeAndre Hopkins, and the other thing

246
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: is you gotta pay to Forest Buckner get picked thirteen.

247
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: How look at Bill O'Brian. He got rid of DeAndre Hopkins.

248
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: He got a sick around pick and an overpaid running back,

249
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: so you got the bills. You heard Sean mcderman on

250
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: this podcast last week. He's just a high level guy,

251
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: not a bold risk. Dicks can be a little bit

252
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: of a diva. Dick is the one guy. It's not

253
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: like he's been playing in a crappy organization. They win

254
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: all the time. He makes big plays for him. Now

255
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: he wanted out. Maybe he didn't like Cousins. You know,

256
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is not exactly Mr Accuracy down the field,

257
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: but I like the move. Just a high level move.

258
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: Vikings pretty high level operation too. Like listen, it's not

259
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: working out, Let's get a huge package for him. Boom

260
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: Boom win win, Niners win win. You get Buckner, we

261
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: get picked our team win win. Ballard the Forest Bucker

262
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: is exactly Ballard's type of player. Overachiever, high level guy,

263
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: but a really good player, super high character, immediate team captain,

264
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: been on good teams, proven in the league, long track record.

265
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: He fits. He is a cult. He fits their their mold,

266
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: what they want perfectly. Like that. Those two deals win, win, win, win.

267
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Both both teams feel good. I mean the Texas can

268
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: pretend they feel good. It's moronic business. Even J. J.

269
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: Watt tweeted something today basically like this tweet didn't age

270
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: well enough, and it was like, God, this is getting

271
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: crazy talking about like the coronavirus last week. What do

272
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: you think DeAndre Hopkins is in the history of their

273
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: franchise one of the top four or five best players

274
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: in the his tree of the Houston Texans. Now they've

275
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: only been around twenty years, but still it's inexcusable. It's embarrassing.

276
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Not everyone should be a general manager in this league.

277
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien is a more accomplished Chip Kelly. That's that's

278
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: what he is right now. He's a more accomplished. Chip Kelly.

279
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: Now he goes to the playoffs a lot like he

280
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: knows how to coach, but since he's got the power,

281
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: whether he's doesn't know how to handle it, whether he

282
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to evaluate, whether he doesn't understand value,

283
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: the the NFL and the OP. When you leave the season,

284
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: the season is about scheming, is about coaching, is about plays.

285
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Once the off season hits, it's not about any of

286
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: that ship. It's about understanding how much a player costs,

287
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: Understanding what a player's value is on the open market,

288
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: Understanding what a player will get back, Understanding what players

289
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: are gonna be there when you draft in certain spots,

290
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: it's the stock market from about February one to training camp.

291
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: What can I trade this guy for? This guy doesn't fit,

292
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: what can we flipping for? It's a smart guy league,

293
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: like in the people think like baseball and basketball and

294
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: smart guy leagues. Yeah, to shoot threes, shift like in game.

295
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: They have a lot of maneuverability. But the end of

296
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: the day, basketball is all about finding max players, right,

297
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: It's just that simple end of story, point period, point blank.

298
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Darryl Morey, quote unquote, the most intelligent general manager in

299
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: the league. He just star chas. That's all he does. Baseball,

300
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's be real. If you have the

301
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: best players and good pictures, you're probably gonna win, you know.

302
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: And there's an economical disparity in the sport football because one,

303
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: unlike basketball, there is a ton of good players out there,

304
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: and unlike baseball, every team has money. The margins are

305
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: very slim. Coach r you told me that when I

306
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: interviewed him at the combine. The difference between winning and

307
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: losing is in the railer season is small. In the

308
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: playoffs that see even smaller. And the Texans who have

309
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: been a playoff team, the reason the way to get

310
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: over the edge in the playoffs. It's not like get

311
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: more solid players. It's about having premium players, having good

312
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: depth and premium players. That's why when you had a

313
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: twenty four nothing to lead on the Chiefs, you couldn't

314
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: hold them off because Mahomes Hill, Kelsey, they were coming

315
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: for that ass. Frank Clark, Chris Jones, the Honey Badger,

316
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: making plays, kicking your butt, fifty unanswered points. They got

317
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: more blue chippers than you do. How about this? Keep

318
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: Hopkins add blue chippers around him? Keep good players and

319
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: then add stop giving away your draft picks. What are

320
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: you doing? I don't get it. It never makes any sense.

321
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: How could this guy go to an IVY League school

322
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: and not be an IVY League operator? Chose you? They're frauds,

323
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: you know. Sorry, we call cal Poli the Harvard of

324
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: the West Coast. Yeah, we're just state school. Well, but

325
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: we produced smart guys. We're Billy Ogo Columbia Princeton. He

326
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: went to one of those schools, and he's just the

327
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: worst general manager beside Gettleman and Chip Kelly. I think

328
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. It's just awful. And he just keeps

329
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: doing the same crazy deals. What are you? DeAndre Hopkins?

330
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: At least you go. You know, if you would have

331
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: told you know what, John, the forty Niners traded to

332
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: Forced Buckner, they got back a third round pick, I

333
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: would have puked in my mouth, you know what, John,

334
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: The Vikings traded Stefan Digs. They got a third round

335
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: pick and a linebacker. I would have fallen to the floor.

336
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: But you know what you say, you know, John, they

337
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: traded Stefan Dicks, they got back pick one high level operation.

338
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: They got they just they traded to forced Buckner. They

339
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: got backed thirteam. Jesus, that's a steal, but you go.

340
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: They needed the Colts needed a defensive lineman. The Vikings

341
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: desperately needed to add some death to get more first

342
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: round I get it, you go. They traded DeAndre Hopkins.

343
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: Oh when they get back picked twenty, No John, They

344
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: got back a running back who makes ten million dollars

345
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: a year and really hasn't been that good the last

346
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: couple of years, who's been injured a lot, and you know, like, ah,

347
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: pick I don't know in the early forties. Huh what huh? What?

348
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: What what did you say? Did Nodell Beckham just go

349
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: for pick seventeen last year? This is a league of comps.

350
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: This is a league of precedent. It's like the It's

351
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: like the law. I never gonna go to law school,

352
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: but every always says that I've watched enough lost lost shows.

353
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: They go. Everything's about precedent, things that happened before. Football

354
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: is the same way. You go. Stefan Diggs not quite

355
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: as good as Odell, but the Bill is a little desperate.

356
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: So you get last year Odell went for seventeen. This year,

357
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Diggs goes for pick in the early twenties, Buckner, that's

358
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: a little unprecedented of the move. But you know what,

359
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: this is also why you make trades in the spring,

360
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: so you know what pick you're getting. Because when you

361
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: trade Khalil Mack, when you trade Clowney, when you trade

362
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: now Clowney was the first three round pick. Would you

363
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: trade even consol for some of these guys Once training

364
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: camp happens, you don't know where that pick's gonna land.

365
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: I trade Digs. I know exactly where my pick goes.

366
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: I trade Buckner, I know exactly what pick I get.

367
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: It's why smart teams have a plan, and they formed

368
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: that plan in February and then they execute it in March.

369
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: This isn't that complicated. It really is not. And I'm

370
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: not you You guys know me. I'm not Mr overreactor

371
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: on stuff. If anything like, I go the opposite where

372
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: the media goes. But Bill O'Brien is a it's kind

373
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: of a joke right now, he really is. He has

374
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: no business being the general manager. And you saw Parrague

375
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: and John and Kyle high level ship. Chris Ballard made

376
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: a bold move, but you understand it, Sean McDermott. They

377
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver, Boom, get one. The Vikings need

378
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: to replenish. Well, Diggs doesn't want to be there, Go

379
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: get a solid first round pick. Niners playoffs, Bill's playoffs. Colts,

380
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Jacoby was a train wreck, or they would

381
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: have been a fringe playoff team, and and t Y

382
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: got hurt, and and the Vikings playoffs. So you've got

383
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: three of those four teams playoffs. And the Colts had

384
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: some weird circumstances with their quarterback or they they're a

385
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: high level operation. And then you got the Texans that

386
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: you just scratch your head, what are we doing? If

387
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: I was a Texans fan, or I lived in Houston

388
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: and they just traded DeAndre Hopkins, I'd be apoplectic. I'd

389
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: be speechless, I'd be furious, I'd be I might think

390
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: about rooting for another team, like, well, what's the what's

391
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: the whole point of sports? Our best player who produces

392
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: and is a good guy, and you get rid of

393
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: them because you guys don't see eyed eye. Maybe it's you, buddy,

394
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: you don't get along with anyone. Clowney goes to the

395
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: Seattle Moon playoffs. Is their best defensive lineman? What do

396
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: you think Hoppins is gonna do for the Cardinals. He's

397
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna produce, gonna make plays. I just don't get it.

398
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: So kudos to the other four teams making impressive moves,

399
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: impress us the front office, smart teams. You know what, Ballard,

400
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a bowl trade. I don't. It's a

401
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: little rich for my taste, but I understand it. Vikings Bills,

402
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: no easy trade both sides. Niners do that trade every

403
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: day of the week and twice on Sundays. Texans Deshaun Watson,

404
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: I'll pray for you and all the other people infected

405
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: by Corona. Okay, let's dive into, uh the Corona impact

406
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks. The O T S as I mentioned earlier,

407
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: are gonna be I don't think they're gonna happen. I

408
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: don't think we see football now. I know technically we

409
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: don't see football in the spring, but I don't think

410
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: we see team activities. You can't get groups of fifty

411
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: or bigger right now, so this football probably is gonna

412
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: start in training camp. Well, if you don't have O

413
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: T A S, how can you possibly sign a new quarterback?

414
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't that change everything? Doesn't that? At again, as of

415
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: recording this, I don't have any Brady new news. Doesn't

416
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: that impact Tom Brady because if you're Tom Brady, you're

417
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: not gonna leave if I have a short period of

418
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: time to put something together, right, wouldn't I go with

419
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: the person that I'm used to working with in any business,

420
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: let alone football, which offensive football is really really complicated,

421
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady's offense is known to be the most complicated.

422
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Isn't it more likely if O T A s are

423
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: getting scrapped and I get they're gonna be able to

424
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: do virtual conferences and everyone's like, well, I tweeted this

425
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: out in like Sunday and people like, well, my business

426
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: where everything's virtual. Yeah, here's the thing, Well, football is

427
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: a billion dollar business. The majority of the assistant coaches

428
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna that are over forty five don't know how

429
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: to work a computer. So now they have I T

430
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: guys and people can help out. But I'm telling you, football,

431
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: for being this billion dollar operation, is not Mr Tech

432
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: savvy when it comes to like let's just do a

433
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: virtual meeting room. No, they don't operate like that. Now

434
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: they're going to have to this spring. But there's a

435
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: big difference between getting down the field, working it out,

436
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: repping it out, being in the facility with the guys.

437
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: I think this limits quarterbacks and teams who had ideas

438
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: of moving on from their quarterback. I think it changes

439
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: the plans. And I think you saw on Sunday that

440
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: the that the Titans said this to themselves. I don't

441
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: know this. I haven't asked John Robinson this. And I

442
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: liked the signing because I think he realized this. We

443
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: could try to get Tom who's probably on the fence,

444
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: and maybe he has to work through some things this week,

445
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: but maybe by Thursday he realized, you know what, Mike

446
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: and John, I'm gonna stay with the Patriots. And then

447
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: you haven't tagged Tanny Hill and John Gruden has signed

448
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: him because I think it was pretty clear that if

449
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill would hit the open market and the Titans

450
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: knew this, John Gruden would assigned him. So, if you

451
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: have an asset that you like and the current climate

452
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: of America is going to change the way you do

453
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: business the next two or three months with your most

454
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: important employee, and that's the quarterback, I think he gotta

455
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: play a little more conservative, like is right now the

456
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: time to be just buying stocks. Probably not. We got

457
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: a lot of unknown moving forward. And Tom Brady, while

458
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: he's a proven entity, approven stock, it would be pretty

459
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: risky one his age and to just you're gonna have

460
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, first time coordinator last year, first year being

461
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: a coordinator trying to integrate with Tom it would be bold.

462
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: So they signed Ryan Tannehill. It was I didn't really

463
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: know what his market was gonna be, but he wasn't

464
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna get like thirty or forty million. He probably wasn't

465
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna get eight year ninety. They gave him sixty two guarantee,

466
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. I think it's pretty fair. Ryan Tannehill somehow,

467
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: he's like the better version of Sam Bradford. Before he

468
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: signed that deal, he made seventy seven million dollars in

469
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: his career. This guarantees him at least sixty two. Will

470
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: probably see probably like eighty I mean, when when the

471
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: dust settles, Ryan Tannill's gonna be worth like an und

472
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: eighty million. But he was in the right place right time.

473
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: I also think this benefits Derek Carr. Ryan Tannehill didn't

474
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: become available. Tom Brady probably not gonna be interested. They're

475
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: just gonna sign Mariota and Car's gonna be the quarterback.

476
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: I think if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do not get

477
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. In one of the New England reporters on

478
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: Monday Morning reporter that Tampa Bay made it loud and

479
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: clear they want Tom. But if you're Tom, you go.

480
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians does have a unique offense. He throws deep,

481
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: as Ken Stabler once famously said, and Tom Hanks, who

482
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: has the Corona but looks to be healthy, signs his A.

483
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: He signs his UH emails by this Tom, and then

484
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: it just says, throw deep, baby, That's what Bruce Arians

485
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: likes to do. Throw bombs. Well, Tom Brady threw bombs

486
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: when he had Randy Moss for the last decade. He

487
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: checks down and throws quick out routes. They have a

488
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: quick passing game offense. So it would be a dramatic change. Now,

489
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: if the Corona hadn't existed, I'd say, you know what,

490
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: that's an interesting spot. They got Mike Evans, Chris Godwin,

491
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: and O. J. Howard. That combo could be elite. Mike

492
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: Evans his borderline elite. Chris Godwin's a badass, he might

493
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: be elite. By the time mid season next year happens

494
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: and O. J. Howards really counted, and they can always

495
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: draft more sweet players or signed sweet players. But I think,

496
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: of your tom, you gotta go with what you know

497
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: because you want times on on your side. And really,

498
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: at this point, you're just playing for legacy anyway. It's

499
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: not about the money, it's not really about anything besides

500
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: just trying to add stack rings stack wins. There would

501
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: be a huge unknown going to a new coordinator. I

502
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: also think this puts Jamis Winston in play to stay

503
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: in Tampa. And I'll give Tampa credit by not franchising him.

504
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Do you want to pay Jamis Winston million dollars? He

505
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: threw thirty two or thirty picks last year, and I

506
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: saw a tweet that went viral, had just a montage

507
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: he could have thrown twenty one more. And at first

508
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: it's like twenty one dropped interceptions. You think, well, some

509
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: of these are gonna be like one handed tips. They

510
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: were hitting guys in the hand in stride, guys just

511
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: dropping them. There's a reason guys played defense. So Jamis

512
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: Winston to me, it's like, yo, buddy, you just throw

513
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: thirty freaking picks. You've never won a freaking thing in

514
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: this league. I'll give you fifteen million dollars. Who else

515
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: is paying you? I'll wait, hang up and listen, get

516
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: back to me, Holler at me, and you're going to

517
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: get him on the cheap. You're gonna take advantage of Jamis.

518
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: That that's the Jamis is not in a position of

519
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: leverage or power right now. Now. Ultimately, if they gotta

520
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: go back to him at fifteen sixteen million, that's a

521
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. I think that is probably the way

522
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: it shakes out. The Chargers are an interesting option for

523
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They trade for Trade Turner, they can draft

524
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: a tackle. They got Mike Williams, they got Keenan Allen.

525
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: They they franchise Hunter Henry. They signed Austin Neckler, who's

526
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady type running back. They got two legit

527
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers. They have Derwin James. You're gonna be healthy.

528
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Here's my issue. He's gonna play for Anthony Lynn. I

529
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: just closed my eyes to Anthony Lynn. I just I

530
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think Anthony Lynn and think dynamic offense.

531
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: And again also factoring in, while the roster is good,

532
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: this lack of O T A S. That's a huge transition,

533
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: that is really big. Now the l A thing and

534
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: here here's the other kind of curveball the story broke.

535
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: I think Sunday that if Corona puts everything to a halt,

536
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: what if instruction is not able to take place over

537
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: the next couple of months. What if the new stadium

538
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and no state is more you know,

539
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: quicker to act on stuff like this than states like

540
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: California that they might not allow stuff and unions. It

541
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: gets very very complicated, very very quickly. You just wonder

542
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: maybe the stadium is not ready. It's not inconceivable the

543
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Charges are playing back at that little thirty stadium again.

544
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: You think Tom Brady, if he gets winted, that would

545
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: play in that thing? Are you kidding me? You think

546
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: with Jordan with the Wizards look bad. Imagine Tom Brady

547
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: in a Charger powder blue uniform playing in front of

548
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: fans churing for the other team. I'd be weird. I'd

549
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: like to avoid that at all cost if we could so.

550
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: I think the O T A S and the current

551
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: climate of our world just just directly impacted the quarterback

552
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: dominoes and something we've been talking about for a long time.

553
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: But sometimes you just unforeseen things change the way. Like

554
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: I I, I do believe Tom Brady was probably open

555
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: to some moves. You know, clearly, I don't think any

556
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: of this stuff was fake, but after taking inventory, after

557
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: seeing what the corona was gonna do to his potential

558
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: spring of working with the coordinator, of working with the coach. Remember,

559
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady hasn't gone to ot as with the Patriots

560
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: the last two years. Two years ago they won the

561
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. This year they went twelve and four and

562
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: obviously lost in the first round. Hasn't been not one

563
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: offseason practice, not one. Well, he can do the same

564
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: this year, stay with the Patriots. Obviously it's gonna be canceled,

565
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: but he'll just be used to it. This is how

566
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: he's operated anyway, Business as usual, Tom Brady, no O,

567
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: t S, no problem. I was talking to someone this

568
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: weekend in the league and I mentioned, you know what's

569
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: weird about the NFL. There hasn't been a major quarterback

570
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: bust in a long time. You know, like Trubiskie clearly

571
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: he's not worth the second overall pick, and Deshaun Watton.

572
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks that came after him. I mean, Deshaun Watson

573
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: is a star and my homes like the best player

574
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. But Drabinsky is like better than Joey

575
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Harrington's and the Ryan Leaves and the Achilles Smith's. There

576
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: really hasn't been just you know, the Wentz Goth just

577
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: think about Donald, even Josh Allen, I mean Lamar Jackson.

578
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys are functional. Even the guy

579
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: like Josh Rosen is just kind of an unknown probably

580
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: it's just hard to even put up. If Josh Rosen

581
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: was a class in college, it would just be incomplete.

582
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: That would be your grade. You get an eye for incomplete.

583
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: But we were talking and I said, you know who

584
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: you know who could be a bust? Because you know

585
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: what most busts in the NFL are when you when

586
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: you're a top fifteen pick, it tends to not be talent.

587
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Like Solomon Thomas, He's gonna play in the league for

588
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: eight nine years. He'll quote unquote be a bus because

589
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't worth a third pick. But his he's just

590
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: not good enough. He's a high character guy, he works

591
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: his ass. He's just not talented enough because he's a tweener.

592
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a position. It's a it's a football reason.

593
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: If Baker Mayfield fails, it's gonna be because of maturity

594
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: in work ethic. And last year he became fat. I mean,

595
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: what doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, Like, Bro,

596
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: you got that pudgy face. You're drinking too much. It's

597
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: the big leagues. Bro, put put down the corps light,

598
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: pick up a protein shake, and pick up the clicker

599
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: and watch a little film not working hard enough, because

600
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: you could argue he was one of the worst not

601
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: just quarterbacks, one of the worst full time starters in

602
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. Last he was atrocious. Now you could defend

603
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: him and say, well, he might have the dumbest coach

604
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: in NFL history, and I'd say, okay, that's fair. The

605
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: year before, when everyone was acting like he was a

606
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: genius or i mean some great player, people thought Freddy

607
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: Kitchens was good genius would be strong. But though Freddy

608
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Kitchens was a good offensive play caller, once they fired

609
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: Todd Haley and Hugh Jackson, but Baker Mayfield, and this

610
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: is I'm gonna talk about the even's next little a

611
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: f C North, little primer there is there might not

612
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: be a player in the NFL that has more pressure

613
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: on him next year in two thousand twenty or this

614
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: upcoming season, assuming it happens than Baker Mayfield, He's Odell Beckham.

615
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: He has Jarvis Landry. He I can never say this

616
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: guy's name right, najoeku say it really fast. He has

617
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper who they bought today, who really actually a

618
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: pretty team friendly deal signed. Jack Conklin now has a

619
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: high level guy in his meeting room with case Keenum,

620
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, who's a star, Kareem Hunt, who's damn good? Like,

621
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: what else do you want? Tom Brady would die for

622
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: half that there is. We got no excuses for Baker Mayfield.

623
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: The analytical community two years ago appointed him as one

624
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: of the next grades. Last year he was an embarrassment.

625
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: And he's even admitted I got fat, said it need

626
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: to lose some weight. When he said to the Super

627
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: Bowl the day before he had a shirt off, he

628
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: looked terrible. Now we'll see. All it takes is eating right,

629
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: working hard. But the rubber is about to meet the road.

630
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: And you know the scary thing for Baker in two

631
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: thousand twenty is the O T A S. They're not

632
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: gonna happen offseason is is suspended and definitely right now?

633
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: Does he have the discipline to grind on his own

634
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: because we saw that he didn't have the discipline to

635
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: grind when he was around his team, So this is

636
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: really really gonna test him. He's rich, He's got more

637
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: money than million from the Browns, He's got commercials, probably

638
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: got fifty mill in the bank. Does he have the

639
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: inner drive? Does he have this self discipline? Does he

640
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: have the burning just the fire inside him that after

641
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: last year, really for the last six months, everyone laughed

642
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: at him. Do you know what most of the greats listen,

643
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: we we all have a rough year, we all have

644
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: it off year. I'm giving him the benefit of doubt

645
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: that maybe he can turn it around, but we're sure

646
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: as hell gonna find out. Because when you laugh at

647
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: great players, especially high picks that were great players, you

648
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: better what they're coming for blood. James Harden made fun

649
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: of you, Honese. He came out and like the next

650
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: week was dropping like forty and twenties. You made fun

651
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: of Michael Jordan or Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or

652
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, They're coming for your throat. Here's the thing

653
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield. Though he's not in any of those

654
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: guys I listed, He's not an elite physical talent if

655
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: he does not max out maturity, work, ethic, film study,

656
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: the mental part of the game. What Tom Brady saying,

657
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: Tom first time? I give him my life to this?

658
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Do you know what Drew Brees, who actually is Baker

659
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: Mayfield's cop in terms of short He's a better athlete

660
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: than Baker, but not a great athlete, not a big

661
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: arm just hang his hatter in accuracy. Do you know

662
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: what Drew Brees really separates himself, dude by doing He's

663
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: maniacal about the sport of football. He eats breeze and

664
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: sleeps it when uh who I forget the the offensive lineman.

665
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: I want to say Brandon Shreff. I think that's his name,

666
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: but I think that's that the Washington Redskins guy whoever

667
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: they're played by, play announcer is for the Saints. When

668
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: he retired a couple of years ago, and he cried

669
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: and he said, Drew Brees is the most inspirational person

670
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: you've ever been around. And how the offensive lineman used

671
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: to ordering food on Wednesdays and Thursdays because they'd be

672
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: going home and he'd still be there working. That's what

673
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: it takes in this league. That's why you're paid all

674
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: that money. It's why the good quarterbacks. Do you think

675
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: you think Russell Wilson's going home early or not getting

676
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: the facility early? I don't know. I don't know much

677
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers work ethic, but his resume speaks for itself.

678
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: We know Tom, but what Tom Brady does we I mean,

679
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: I talked to Andy that they can't kick Patrick Mahomes out,

680
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: and he told me the Super Bowl, Mahomes already screaming

681
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: at Andy to get him an iPad so we can

682
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: go through every one of his place. It's the off

683
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: Season's like Patrick, just get away. He's like, no, I

684
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: want to. I want to go through all my second

685
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: and third downs. That's the way. That's the way he's thinking.

686
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on his on a bad day, has ten

687
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: times the talent then Baker Mayfield has on a good day.

688
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: So that's what it takes. So now he has countless

689
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: players around him. You could not ask for a betting

690
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: better supporting cast. You could not ask for any more

691
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: talent on offense, and they're in a position to also

692
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: draft the tackle. You have to do good tackles. They

693
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: got running backs, got tight ends, they got wide receivers

694
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: up the wall. Zoe, Like, what else do you want?

695
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: If you gave a young Peyton Manning or a young

696
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or any guy like that, that type talent,

697
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: You're the number one pick in the draft who everyone's

698
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: acting like you suck this. This is where people separate.

699
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: If people told me I suck at podcasting, I suck

700
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: at podcasting. That's all I kept hearing. One I'd either

701
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: try to improve and figure out what everyone was saying,

702
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: or maybe I just maybe I'd suck. But I'll promise

703
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: you one thing I would do is I'd spend every

704
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: waking moment to try to get better at this profession.

705
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: And I followed on Instagram, and you know, sometimes it

706
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: looks like he's screwing around. Now, I get Instagram is

707
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: not a true view of a guy, but I know this,

708
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady can be screwing on Instagram. We know what

709
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: he's doing. He's out working. Yet I know what. I

710
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: don't care what Patrick Mahomes does on Instagram. I know

711
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: how hard he works or what Deshaun Watson or Russell

712
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: Wilson or whoever. These guys like Baker Mayfield, the microscope

713
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: is on you. And here's a hot take. If he

714
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: has a bad season this year and maturity is still

715
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: a factor, he won't be on the Browns in two

716
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: thousand one. I feel very confident about that. This coach,

717
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: this general manager, they did not pick this player. This

718
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: is not their guy. So if he doesn't get it

719
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: done this year, and I don't mean super Bowl or

720
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: even playoffs, but if they go nine and seven and

721
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: he can have a big season, he could look like

722
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: he can be a franchise quarterback when they're all good.

723
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: If he has a below average season and he looks

724
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: like he's not even a top twenty quarterback, it might

725
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: be over for Baker Mayfield in Cleveland. I'm dead serious.

726
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: You can't have Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry, multiple tight ends,

727
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: multiple running backs, and much improved offensive line. The scheme

728
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: in which he's gonna play in the zone running scheme.

729
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins just put up career numbers in in this offense.

730
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: Kind of put up or shut up. I don't want

731
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: to hear any excuses. I'll give you another team. I

732
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: don't want to hear any more excuses on and I'm

733
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: not gonna give him credit in the sense of the

734
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens are well run in my adult life for

735
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. Once they moved to Baltimore and

736
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: they won that Super Bowl in two thousand or two

737
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: thousand one, whatever, I think it was the two thousand season.

738
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: They won in two thousand one, maybe it was, yeah,

739
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: because the Raiders and the Bucks were in the Super

740
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Bowl the next year. They have been a high level operation.

741
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 1: They've had a couple of down years before the most part,

742
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: they draft good players. They just have Pro Bowlers and

743
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: a lot of different positions, and they make the playoffs

744
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: a lot. So, you know what, I expect the Baltimore

745
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: Ravens this fall to do make the playoffs. They've made

746
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: some savvy moves. They get Klass Campbell for a fifth

747
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: round pick. They tagged their best pass rusher that they

748
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: still might you know, trade We'll see Hayden Hurst who

749
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: had been passed by Mark Andrews. They trade for a

750
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: second round pick. Good moves. I expect them to be

751
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: a double digit win team. They're at the point now

752
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: to me they're viewing them like the Houston Rockets. The

753
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson version of the Baltimore Ravens, I view like

754
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets. Regular season doesn't mean much to me

755
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: anymore because the last two years you've had home playoff

756
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: games and you've been throttled. Two years ago, you couldn't

757
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: barely get a first down against the Chargers. Last year

758
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: against the Titans, they beat your ass. We all watched

759
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: it because the number one thing the Titans struggled to do,

760
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the Ravens struggled to do, is when

761
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: it's third and seven against a good team in January,

762
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: they can't complete a pass. And this is not all

763
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson their offense. It's so it's just they

764
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: have so much success running the ball during the regular season.

765
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't work with your quarterbacks just running around trying

766
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: to make plays aimlessly in January. We we have a

767
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: long history of the sport. You throw the ball to

768
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: win in January. Especially in the modern game of football,

769
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: with the rules, you better be able on third and five,

770
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: a third, sixth, or and seventh, or eight or nine

771
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: in a tie game against the Chiefs, against the Patriots,

772
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: against the Steelers against the Broncos. Whoever you gotta, the Texans,

773
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: the Colts. You get either completing that pastor you can't.

774
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: And right now they haven't been able to do that.

775
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: I know their defense is gonna be good. They got

776
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: a great defensive coach in Wink Martindale. They have a

777
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: ton of good defensive players, They have a good personnel staff,

778
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: They make good moves. Their offense is gonna be stacked.

779
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna be good. They're gonna score points in the

780
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: regular season. They might compete to be the one seat again.

781
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna work. And I believe Lamar Jackson, unlike Baker Mayfield.

782
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: I have faith in that guy. You know why. He

783
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: doesn't talk much. He just produces. And then when he

784
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: does get shipped on. You know what, he says, I

785
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: gotta get better. I gotta work harder. Nobody cares work harder.

786
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield meanwhile fighting with reporters saying he's gotta lose weight.

787
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: All this. You know, Lamar, He's gotta get better. So

788
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm rooting for him. Now, do I

789
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: think he can? We'll see. I'm not a big And

790
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: this gets back to Josh Allen. I like Josh Allen too,

791
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: but like Lamar Jackson, typically very very inaccurate quarterbacks. You know,

792
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has been more accurate. But let's be honest.

793
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: He had a Monday Night game last year where he

794
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: threw five touchdowns. He threw for like a hundred twenty yards.

795
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: It was a very very special, unique season. But less

796
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: not act like he was Drew brees back. There a

797
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: lot of pressures on him, a lot of pressures on

798
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: this team, and strictly the playoffs. Right the Rockets. The

799
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: NBA is probably canceled for the year. We're judging you

800
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: on the playoffs. No one cares about you kicking the

801
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: crap out of the Bengals in an October game. We

802
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: don't care about you beating the Raiders by twenty points

803
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: in December. I'm gonna judge you when you have a

804
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: home playoff game or go on the road as a

805
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: wild card team. Can you win that game? Because the

806
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: last two years you haven't even been close. Two years

807
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: ago you got your ass kicked by the Chargers. And

808
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: last last the Titans game, it was never close. They

809
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: were in complete control, they were dominated. Actually the game

810
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,959
Speaker 1: was over at halftime actually thinking about it. So yeah,

811
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: high level moves. Ravens are a well run operation. They've

812
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: been a top you know, six seven franchise in the

813
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: in the league the last two decades. But this Lamar

814
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: Jackson runn he's on his rookie contract. You're able to

815
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: make all these aggressive moves. It's time now. This is

816
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: a year where we need to see some playoff victories

817
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: or you're just a cute little regular season story with

818
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: some fun little offense that works in the In the

819
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: regular season, you put up some sweet numbers. Uh, like

820
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: James Harden won an m VP, Russell Westbrook won an MVP.

821
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: But when it matters, they get their ass kicked. When

822
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: when they're the guy we'll see now again, Lamar Jackson's

823
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: way younger. Those guys are established veteran players. We got

824
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: room for growth. But for them to win and they're

825
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a winning roster, you got to win on

826
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: third and long in the playoffs. Okay, before we get

827
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 1: to the Middlecoff mail bag, I'm I'm just gonna bang

828
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: through some deals. Uh. One thing that broke pretty late

829
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: was Amari Cooper resigned for a hundred million dollars sixty

830
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. I used to be very very high

831
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: on Amory. I'm now you know, I wouldn't say I'm lukewarm.

832
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: I would say I'm solid warm. He's a good player.

833
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: Would I want to pay him average? Twenty a year

834
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: and sixty million guaranteed? Little rich for my taste, you know,

835
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: similar to the numbers Michael Thomas got last year. I

836
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: think Michael Tomas is a much more reliable player in

837
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: a big game. I can trust Michael Thomas in a

838
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: big game. Amory can be very hit or miss. Now

839
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: in the dome. I think a Mari he's made for it.

840
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: A Mari is a bright lights player. He belongs in Dallas.

841
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: Uh can he live up to the contract? I would,

842
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: by no means say it's a lock. Houston, Texas side

843
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: Randall cop twenty seven million dollars three years, so about

844
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: nine a year. He got eighteen and a half million

845
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed. So you can look at it essentially, when

846
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: you give that type bonus, he's a lock to stay

847
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: there for two years basically, like two years, I mean

848
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: nine and a half a year. You know, essentially, when

849
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: you factoring the guaranteed money. You got rid of Hopkins,

850
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: who was making like nine or ten million for Randall Cobb. Now, listen,

851
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb was a solid player last year, had a

852
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: three touchdowns over fifty catches. He's just not Hopkins, and

853
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. Man, don't like that one.

854
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees Charles Robinson's reporting the Saints are close to

855
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: finalizing a deal makes sense. Um Redskins agrees to terms

856
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: with Kendall Fuller, formerly of the Chiefs. Good slot corner,

857
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: the guy the Chiefs traded uh when they got they

858
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: traded Marcus Peters and then they landed Fuller Stefon Diggs.

859
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: We already talked about that. Chad Hanny back to the Chiefs.

860
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: Clearly Andy likes him. Marcus Mariotta to the Raiders. I'm

861
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: a fan of that deal makes a lot of sense.

862
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: Two years ago, he won a playoff game in Kansas

863
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: City in the freezing cold Derreck Carson never won in

864
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Mostly played bad, and he hasn't played very

865
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: well in the cold. Seattle resigned Geron Reid two years,

866
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: twenty three million. You know he is twenty seven years old.

867
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: I think he got in trouble last year. You know,

868
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: see he had to sit out the first six games

869
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: with domestic violence. Now clearly Pete and John they know

870
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: him well, but a little rich for my taste. A. J.

871
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: Klein signed by the Bills. You know, he's a solid

872
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: rotational linebacker. He was a good player on the Saints

873
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Um, he was originally, I

874
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: think on the Panthers, just just like the guy on

875
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: my team, the Lions. What are the Lions doing? Gave

876
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: Jamie Collins a bunch of money, they gave van Oy

877
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of money. He's just trying to recreate the Patriots.

878
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm all for bringing a guy or two, but you're

879
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: just bringing every ex Patriot and you're making them super

880
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: highly paid. As it doesn't work. It never works, Trey Flowers,

881
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: van Oy Collins. It's just not gonna work. There is

882
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: not a bigger lock in America that Patricia and Quinn

883
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: are fired. Lock put it in stone. At the end

884
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: of next year, Texans resigned A J. Mccaren A J

885
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: mccaren stinks Jets agreed to terms with ot George phant

886
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: They gave him thirteen point seven million dollars guaranteed. I

887
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: don't really have a take there. Uh. Eric Murray Texans

888
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: signed of the Browns. I'll be honest, don't really have

889
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: a scouting report on him. I'm just being real with you, guys.

890
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: Try to keep it real. The Eagles agreed to terms

891
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: with Javon Hargrave formerly the Steelers, three years, thirty nine million.

892
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: I don't know how much guaranteed money had, but yeah,

893
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: they they needed some interior help. Malik Jackson, who got

894
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: hurt last year, should be back. Uh Timmy, Timmy Journe

895
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: again will surely get caught. Now you've got Malik Jackson, Hargrave,

896
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: and Fletcher Cox pretty good, you know, rotational interior defensive lineman.

897
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: A little bit of a shocker. The Bears gave Jimmy

898
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: Ram almost ten million dollars and guaranteed texting with someone

899
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: with the Bears. Not naggy, but they go. You know

900
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't Ryan Pace knows him from the Saints. He

901
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: still is a good red zone target. Mitch isn't very

902
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: accurate and he is tall, so I you know, I'm

903
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: not gonna bitch and moan over given nine million dollars

904
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Graham. Michael Brocker signed with the the Ravens.

905
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: He's just a solid player. Zane Gonzalez. We don't do

906
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: kicker takes here. Kyle van Noy talked about that. Byron

907
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: Jones basically got insane money the first two years, like

908
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty million a year the first two years. I had

909
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: a text around because you know, I haven't watched, like,

910
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: really really studied Byron Jones, because you don't if you

911
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: just watch players on TV, you don't really get to

912
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: see him. You gotta ask scouts about corners. And the

913
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: one thing I was told, if he's a starter on

914
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: your team, you feel really really good about it. Is

915
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: he Patrick Peterson in revus Or Sherman in his prime?

916
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: No he's not. Is he the highest paid corner ever? Yes?

917
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: But is that because he actually just a good player

918
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: that hit free agency? Yes? You know the Dolphins they

919
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: traded all their good players. They have a bunch of

920
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 1: cap space, They got a bunch of picks, they bought

921
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of players. James Bradberry got forty five million

922
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: dollars with the Giants. I've heard, actually, he's not that

923
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: much worse than Byron Jones. Just another solid starter, should

924
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: improve their defense. Dennis Kelly resigned with the Titans. They

925
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: had to do that once Conklin leaves. I bet they

926
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: like Kelly at his number a lot more than Conklin

927
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: and his number. Raiders kept Peterman. We had a lot

928
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: of action today. Chad Henney stayed Graham Glasgow, who was

929
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 1: with the Browns again. I'd to be honest, I don't

930
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: have a scouting report on a center from the Browns.

931
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: This this signing is just mind blowing lye stupid. They

932
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: gave Big from the Eagles the Detroit Lions fifty million dollars.

933
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't have the guaranteed money, but I saw it

934
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: earlier day on Twitter. Is pretty big. You can't give

935
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 1: Big V that much money under no circumstances. It can't happen.

936
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: He's not a good pass protector. You can't pay a

937
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: pass you can't pay an offensive tackle solid money when

938
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: he's not a good pass protector. It can't happen. And

939
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: they did it. I think we've basically covered most of

940
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: the Brady unsigned. I think Jamis is in somewhat of

941
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: a weird spot. There. There's a chance all the all

942
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: the chairs are gonna get filled here in the next

943
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: couple of days, and Jamis is not gonna have one,

944
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: one and two. He's not gonna have any leverage. There's

945
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: a chance Jameis Winston's playing for like ten million dollars

946
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: next year. And you know what, like I said, go

947
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: back to Tampa. Is that where he is? That where

948
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: he belongs? I think so. Prince s Amoka Mora Jets

949
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: are poking around Clowney, the Giants are in pursuit. So yeah,

950
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: this all this stuff from earlier, is that that that

951
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: basically covers it. Okay, let's bang out a couple Middlecoff

952
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: mail bag questions at John Middlecoff Instagram slide up into

953
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: those d m s. I'm running out of juice. I've

954
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: given a lot of takes today on Periscope, recorded another podcast,

955
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,399
Speaker 1: recorded this podcast, done some Instagram, and I have I've

956
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: given everything I had to the first day of free agency,

957
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: even though I've been in quarantine. Question for the pod,

958
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: could you see a scenario where Deshaun Watson forces his

959
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: way out of Houston? Leaving seems like it would be

960
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: the best way for him to have a winning career. Well,

961
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: in fairness to the Texans and Bill O'Brien, Deshaun Watson

962
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: has had a winning career right when he has been there,

963
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: when he has started for him, they're good and they

964
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. That that happens. So DeAndre is his

965
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: best friend, and sometimes it's like, well, just because your

966
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: best friends gets traded, this is this is the big

967
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: League's welcome to the real life. But I think Deshan

968
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: would say, well, name me five better wide receivers, you idiot,

969
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: and Bill O'Brien would be like, uh, Randall Cobb. So yeah,

970
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,959
Speaker 1: if I was to Shaun Watson, I'd be piste off.

971
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: I'd mean I would not be happy. I would not

972
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: be happy at all. Is he gonna force his way

973
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: out of Houston? You know? I think he's up for

974
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: a contract extension relatively soon, and that thing could be

975
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: historically big, So I don't know, it's a that's a

976
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: good question. I had a quick question pertained to the

977
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: running back market going forward and a special player like

978
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey who just saw Derrick Henry get franchise and

979
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,959
Speaker 1: only gonna make ten million dollars, would it be wise

980
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: for him to convert to wide receiver for next year?

981
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: So if he's franchise tagged, it would be wide receiver

982
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: money instead. Of running back and he would preserve his

983
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: body going forward under the rebuilding Carolina instead of them

984
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: driving him into the ground and getting rid of him

985
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: once his contract is up. I know McCaffrey is a

986
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: special case because of his receiving ability, but you're just

987
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way for top tier running

988
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: backs to get more money. Yeah. I think it's tough

989
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: because you know, I I saw a lot of players today, go,

990
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: I can't believe they paid Tanny Hill when the running

991
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: back carried him. What, guys, quarterbacks are more important. It's

992
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: harder to find Ryan tanney Hill than it is Derrick Henry.

993
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: That's just that's a reality. Now. Is Ryan Tannehill more

994
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: valuable last years of the Titans in the Texans? I

995
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: mean to the Titans than Derrick Henry? You go, well,

996
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: probably not. But they were not gonna go to the

997
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: playoffs with Marcus Mariota. Tannehill came in, resurrected him, helped

998
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: lead him to the playoffs, made some huge plays. I

999
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: think the problem for McCaffrey is he is such a

1000
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: good running back that even though they throw on the

1001
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: ball and he gets ninety plus catches, he is lining

1002
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: up in the backfield and they're handing him the ball off.

1003
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, he could say, will move me to slot receiver,

1004
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: will find the offensive coordinator. I still want to put

1005
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: him in the backfield because I still want to give

1006
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: him the ball in those situations because that's where he thrives.

1007
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's just a very very difficult situation. I

1008
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a right answer to it,

1009
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: because I think more are often than not they're in

1010
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: the right, they're in the right, they're doing the right thing.

1011
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 1: You shouldn't franchise these guys. I mean, you shouldn't long

1012
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: give them huge money. I think it's a very difficult spot.

1013
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: Tight ends are very similar that there is not a

1014
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: tight end in the league. The highest paid tight end ever,

1015
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper just got sixty million dollars sixty million dollars

1016
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 1: in guaranteed money, the highest paid tight end in NFL

1017
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: history with guaranteed dollars twenty three million dollars. Austin Hooper,

1018
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: think about that. What's what's George Kittle thinking right now?

1019
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: What's your take on what the Jets have done so

1020
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: far in free agency? I get j D being an

1021
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: O line guy may not want to overpay for tier

1022
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: one free agent alignment, but do they have the luxury

1023
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: of getting average guys in the tier two of the draft?

1024
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: Are you worried his plan won't give us sufficient time

1025
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: to see Donald developed? Yeah? You know? Are you gonna

1026
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: overpay Conklin? Are you gonna pay Dennis Kelly? Are you

1027
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna pay some of these centers and guards? I'm with you,

1028
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: I would ben him a little more aggressive. I have

1029
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: they just even signed anyone? I guess they signed no

1030
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: A fan or not no Ah fan, but the fan

1031
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: from the from the Seattle I don't know. I'm with you.

1032
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: I would have been a little more aggressive for offensive lineman.

1033
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, the dude from the Patriots got franchise, so

1034
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: you can't get ahold of him. Uh? Could you have

1035
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: signed Byron Jones to that type contract? Maybe? You know

1036
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: you just in two thousand and twenty, you got you

1037
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 1: gotta be aggressive in free agency? Already read that one

1038
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: Packers fan here in Hawaii. Given the fact that Rogers

1039
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: getting older, what do you think about Green Bay going

1040
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: after Jonathan Taylor in the first round and creating a

1041
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: crazy duel with him and Aaron Jones. This draft is

1042
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: so loaded with the wide receiver talent, arguably Green Bay's

1043
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: biggest weakness on offense. They get a great starter in

1044
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: the second round and address the other needs linebacker, offensive line, etc.

1045
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: In later rounds, possibly even trading Number two running back

1046
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams for one of those needs. Love the pod,

1047
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: keep it up, don't hate that idea. My only issue

1048
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor in the first round. Were they picking

1049
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: or twenty nine because they were in the NFC Championship game.

1050
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: They're probably picking twenty nine right because they had a

1051
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: better record than the Titans. Would I take him at

1052
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: twenty nine? I mean in a perfect world, in a vacuum, yes,

1053
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: I would be comfortable taking him. My issue and the

1054
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: question I think NFL people have on Jonathan Taylor is

1055
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: how good of a pass catcher is he. I don't

1056
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: think he's bad, but I don't think he's McCaffrey or

1057
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: one of those guys. And to justify being taken the

1058
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: first round, you gotta be dynamic doing everything, and there

1059
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: are some fumble concerns. Well, they play in a division

1060
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: with the Bears and the Vikings very very physical defenses,

1061
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: and hell, even the Lions today, added Van Oi added

1062
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: Jamie Collins, like they did get more physical. That's just

1063
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: something that I would need to know. And now all

1064
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: these visits are canceled, it makes it a little more complicated,

1065
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: it really does. I would lean probably take in a

1066
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver there because again the value I can get

1067
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: a running back in the later rounds. How's it going?

1068
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: Love the pod? Uh? With Ben coming back off the

1069
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: elbow and assuming he has one or two seasons left

1070
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: in the tank and Pittsburgh not having a first and

1071
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: always finishing middle in the top of the pack, should

1072
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: we be planning our future at quarterback? I think we

1073
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: saw Rudolph and Duck aren't the long term solutions. I agree. Also,

1074
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: where do you think we need the most improvement via

1075
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: the draft trade? Outside quarterback? The old line? Thanks again

1076
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: for pumping out good content. Well, you got wide receivers,

1077
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: you got juju. The other kids you drafted last year

1078
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,479
Speaker 1: can fly vance McDonald and tight ends are solid enough.

1079
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: James Conner, you can always find running backs. Your defensive

1080
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: line is stacked. You tag dupre, you keep t j.

1081
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: You've got players there. The dude you drafted from Michigan

1082
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: is going to be a good player. You add Minka,

1083
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: you got solid corners. Yeah, I mean I think you

1084
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: gotta figure out a quarterback and you can never have

1085
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: enough offensive lineman. But am I taking a mid round quarterback?

1086
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean I just took Mason Rudolph in the third

1087
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: round A couple of years ago. I took Dobbs in

1088
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: the fourth. I think their next quarterback they gotta take.

1089
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: They gotta take a guy in the first round. How

1090
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: about how about this? Signed Jamis is the backup? It's

1091
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: great Jamison big Ben. Talk about a reality show. You

1092
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: can start a reality show Jamison big Ben. That would

1093
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: be the name of the reality show. People would watch.

1094
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: It would get big numbers. I'll promise you that maybe

1095
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: maybe that's your idea. Signed Jamis two year deal. As

1096
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: of recording this, it's about nine o'clock on the West Coast.

1097
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: He hasn't signed. And maybe if all the dominoes fall,

1098
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a place to go. If Teddy goes

1099
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: to Tampa. You just signed him two years, twenty million,

1100
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: guaranteeing like six or seven and you just try to

1101
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: reclamation project Ben gets hurt again. Throw Jamison there. Let

1102
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: it rip. Appreciate everyone listening. Busy asstime times. Uh, I'm

1103
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: tired and quarantined free agency. Stay safe. Hopefully this entertained you,

1104
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: and we'll just keep on chugging. Poosh
