1
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecop three and out

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: podcast recording This Bad Boy on a Thursday night before

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: the Warriors game. Got a lot going on. I got

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: a ton of Middlecoff mail bag questions in my Instagram inbox.

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I always do that on every show. Middlecoff mail Bag.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: You just slide up into my d M s on

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Instagram at John Middlecoff is my handle, and then I

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: answer your questions here. I'm gonna touch on the schedule

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: really quick. I didn't quite know how to go about it.

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: I can't go every every team schedule. A couple of

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: things that stood out to me Russell Wilson. I recorded

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: my podcast on Monday kind of questioning Russell Wilson and

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: his agents tactics. But then they worked and he got

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: a deal, and I think he got, you know, a

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: pretty team friendly deal. And I know a lot of

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: people freaking out, like, oh, can't believe they gave Russell

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: that much money. You can't, He's Russell Wilson. And then

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: one thing that has really jumped out to me with

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: the way that Roger Goodell has covered and the way

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is covered. But I'm gonna

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: start with this. The schedule. The NFL made a pretty

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: pretty bold move. They did it two years ago with

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders and it backfired and the Raiders had just

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: made the playoffs with Derek Carr. They did it last

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: year with the forty Niners and then Jimmy got hurt.

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: When you take a team, the Raiders had made the playoffs,

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: the Niners hadn't. They had just won five straight games

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and the season the Browns did go seven eight one.

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Now I like Baker, I know a lot more than

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Colin does. I think Baker can be a top five

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: or six quarterback in the NFL. And their team on

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: paper is excellent. But the problem is they gave him

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: four primetime games and multiple money and at football games,

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: which you clearly can't flex. I mean, you're stuck. You're

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: all in on the Browns. And I heard I think

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: with either Peter King and I was listening to Mad

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Dog Russo they had on the schedule makers, and they

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of good insight that the networks wanted

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: the Browns. You know, ESPN wants the brown To me,

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: it's just a risky proposition. They have a first time

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: head coach who's been a coordinator for eight months. You're

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: like betting on the stock. Now, anyone that's ever been

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: on stocks that you can make some calculated risks, and

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: this would be a stock that's pretty clearly should you know,

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: shoot up the charts. The problem for it, to me,

46
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: for the Browns is not the players. It's the head coach,

47
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: first time head coach that's never done it before. It's

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: just whiskey. There's a chance he's just not a good

49
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: head coach. Their first five or six games are really

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: really difficult. I don't know, man, I understand it. I'm glad,

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: glad it happened. It's gonna be fun to watch, but

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I think it's very risky. Then. I think you look

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: at the Patriots schedule and they clearly benefit from their division.

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: But I do think the Bills and the Jets are

55
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: some what wild cards in that division. Both of them

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: could be, I don't want to say dramatically better, but

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: definitely could be much improved. They play the NFC et

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: so they get two Cake games and the Redskins and

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: the Giants. They get the Chiefs at home, they get

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers at home. You you just eyeball this Patriots schedule,

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: and the first thought that I had is like, I

62
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: don't know, fourteen and two, fifteen and one, it's really

63
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Patriots are gonna be the number

64
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: one seed again, Rince washed repeat. It was like, when

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: does bell Jack and Brady gonna walk away? Uh? No

66
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: time soon, not if they can keep kicking everyone's ass.

67
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: And I love this. I get a lot of this

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: on Twitter. The NFL tries to help them out with

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the schedule. Do you guys know how schedule works. It's

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: just through divisions. So they play the NFC East and

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: then they play like the a f C South or

72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: whatever they're that. You just every team in their division

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: plays the same schedule and then you just to add

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: on two extra games. Because they're always in first place,

75
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: they play two other first place teams, so there, their

76
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: schedule is just it's kind of set in stone. The

77
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: only two wild card games are what to first place

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: teams are they gonna play? Are they playing the Chiefs?

79
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: And I think they're playing the Texans. So that's just

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the way the cookie crumbles. It's just it's just a reality.

81
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: It just the way it broke. You know, It's just

82
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: it's too easy for those guys. And then the other

83
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: thing that I noticed and when I like, especially because

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: my other podcast to talk about about the Niners and

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: the Raiders. There are so many wild card teams, like

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: the Niners are a good example. Are they a nine

87
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: win team? Are they a six or seven win team?

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers? Who the Niners actually open with? What are

89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks? Well, I'd say I never feel that great

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: about Jami's but they got Bruce Arians. I got news

91
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: for you. We're Sarians, the top five or six head

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL. The Jets and the Bills, Like

93
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: one of those teams is gonna take a big step.

94
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: They have young quarterbacks, they have good coaches, they have

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: some young talent. How good are the Browns gonna be? Like?

96
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Are the Browns an all time letdown team? Are they

97
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna win? Right along? Twelve games? Are the Chargers are

98
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna maintain this? The Ravens Like, I'm not a Ravens believer.

99
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Lamar Jackson, but they have a culture,

100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: they have a coach, like, they're they're not gonna be terrible.

101
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: The Broncos Like, I don't think the Broncos are any

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: good but I also don't think they're bad. You know,

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Flacco guy, but their defense is

104
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: still really good. Vic Fangio has been calling games in

105
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: the box forever. How's he gonna do on the on

106
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: the sideline? I think the greatest part about the NFL

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: schedule release, besides really like the Patriot, the Packers, another team,

108
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I just can't give you a

109
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: win if you're playing the Packers, and I think Matt

110
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Laflores went in way over his head, but they still

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: got Aaron freaking Rogers. You know, It's like, yeah, the

112
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: coach a little over his head, but we still have

113
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: arguably the second best quarterback in the NFL. You're gonna

114
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: win some games. You know, it's Minnesota gonna bounce back.

115
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: I think the part of looking at the schedule it's

116
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: so fun is this there are so many teams that

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: could be competitive and might not be competitive and we

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: just don't know. And the difference between six and six

119
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: wins and nine wins it's like four or five plays

120
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: and like two injuries throughout the season. The margin for

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: air in the NFL is great. That's why the league's

122
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: kind of run circles around the other two major sports.

123
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: The urgency the amount of people that if you're a

124
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Bengal fan, maybe not a Bengal fan, a Titan fan,

125
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: a Charger fan, a Niner fan, hell a Raider fan.

126
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: The Raid Raider schedules crazy hard. If you're just looking

127
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: at a schedule of the league thinks. If you're a

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Cowboy fan, like, we're gonna win the division. If you're

129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: an Eagle fan, you think the same thing. If you're

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: a Seattle Seahawk fan, you're like, hell yeah. If you're

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: a Viking, you're a Bears fan, you like, we're gonna

132
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: win this thing. That's what makes the NFL. If you're

133
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: a Falcons fan, you're like, we're healthy, We're gonna make

134
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: a run. That's what's so great about the the NFL

135
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: is I would say the majority of fan bases look

136
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: at the If you're a Jets fan, you're like, we

137
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: got Sam. Donald's gonna better, We've got some good draft picks,

138
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: we got Levian, We're gonna come heat this year. The

139
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: other leagues can't say that, and that's what for as

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: fun as it is to do like the mocks win win, loss, win,

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: that's fun. I did it. I did it on Instagram

142
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: today for the Nighters and Raiders and the Patriots. It's fun.

143
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: But it always works out every year different than you

144
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: think because you get teams that you think are gonna

145
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: be good are bad, and then teams that you think

146
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be bad or good. What makes the NFL

147
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: so exciting. The Russell Wilson news happened after I had

148
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: already recorded my podcast on Tuesday, or for Tuesday recorded

149
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: on Monday. It happened out in the middle of the night.

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of crazy that, you know.

151
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: I think it's clear deals get done on deadlines, right.

152
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Deadlines create action, But usually deadlines there's a purpose to

153
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: a deadline. You know, either the season is gonna start.

154
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: In pro sports, season is gonna start, fiscal quarters gonna end,

155
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: and the new one's gonna start. Whatever. To me, this

156
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: arbitrary April fifteenth day tax day for Russell Wilson never

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: made that much sense. But I actually turned out to

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: become a genius because it created urgency. It kind of

159
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: drew a line in the sand, and we've all been

160
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: there negotiating, you know, for ourselves. It's it's a hard

161
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: position to be in, you know, saying you're worth more

162
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: when you believe you're worth more. I've been there, been

163
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: low bald you know, had no leverage, taking crappy contracts,

164
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: made little money just because you don't have leverage, and

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: then been in a position where you got some leverage,

166
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: you get some more money. Well, I've never and most

167
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: people will never be in the position. We're like Russell

168
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: Wilson where he didn't have the leverage necessarily of he

169
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: couldn't have walked away. And I kept saying football is

170
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: not the NBA. He's not a true free agent because

171
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: they can tag him. But the leverage he does have

172
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: is he's a superstar, and he's a superstar quarterback, which is,

173
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: by far, besides like four or five players in the NBA,

174
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: the most important position in all of sports. And it's

175
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: the thing that every general manager and every head coach

176
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: in recent NFL history, I guess it always hasn't been

177
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: this way, but in this day and age, that's what

178
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: you work to get, that's what you aspire to have.

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: That guy. That's why when Howie Roseman traded up for

180
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, they were hoping to get that guy. When

181
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs traded from ten to get my homes. They

182
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: were hoping for that guy. Now they come in different

183
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: shapes and sizes and guys. You know when Andrew Luck,

184
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: when you're just drafting one, Andrew Luck falls into your lap. Okay,

185
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: that's one thing, But when you draft a guy in

186
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: the third round. I've never struck oil or found gold

187
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: in the river. But that's kind of the equivalent of

188
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: what happened to John Sneyder the Seattle Seahawks with Russell Wilson.

189
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Now I give them a little more credit. It's not

190
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: like as random is striking oil. I don't know much

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: about striking oil. There's gotta be some rhyme or reason

192
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: to where you're looking for the oil. Like John Snyder

193
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: loved the guy. It's been well documented was his favorite

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: player of the draft. You talk peak Carol into it,

195
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: and I give them credit. They had a good knowledge

196
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: of where they could get him, because I remember when

197
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: I was in feeling we were gonna draft from the

198
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: third round, and then he went, so we took Nick Foles.

199
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Got a ironic between the two of them. They want

200
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: a coup super Bowls, but obviously you'd rather have Russell Wilson.

201
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is gonna go down to the top ten

202
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: quarterback ever, so his leverage is just simply I'm an

203
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: elite quarterback. That's by leverage, and when you are, you

204
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: get paid a hundred plus million dollars. I also thought,

205
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: if you just eyeballed last year, Aaron Rodgers, whose resume

206
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: just as an individual player, is better than Russell Wilson.

207
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: But Russell's way younger. The same people that are in

208
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: charge are still in charge in Seattle. The drafted him.

209
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: He's the best player easily in the history of the franchise.

210
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Like you could argue Aaron Rodgers top five player in

211
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: the franchise. But Russell Wilson is more impactful to Seattle

212
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: Seahaks franchise than Aaron Rodger has been to Green Bay,

213
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: partly because that franchise, for the most part of sucked,

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: So the city is all in with them, So you

215
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: weren't ever gonna be able to trade him, And you

216
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: don't trade a quarterback of that level because no matter

217
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: what you get back from him five first round picks,

218
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: you're still gettings on the dollar, Like you don't trade

219
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: Hall of famers. You see it with on a different scale,

220
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: like with Khalil Mack. They traded him for two first rounders.

221
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: The Bears won the trade. I don't care what the

222
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: nerds of the Sloan Conference said. The Bears won the trade.

223
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: So if they didn't even cross their mind, should we

224
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: trade Russell Wilson, just know this, the moment you trade him,

225
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: you lose the trade. You lose the transaction. But I

226
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: thought Amaron Rodgers got a hundred million dollars last year.

227
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: I thought Russell Wilson, because of his age, because he

228
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: wasn't meant the franchise, was probably worth like a hundred

229
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: twenty guaranteed he got less than that. He got a

230
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: hundred and seven million dollars. I think that's a pretty

231
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: good to me. That's the ultimate that deal. That contract

232
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: extension is a big time win win. At the end

233
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: of the day, was probably a no brainer for them.

234
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: He's a franchise and he's the reason that I kind

235
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: of think Seattle is gonna win the division this year

236
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC West. They're gonna be really good. Their

237
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: team last year was basically Russell and all these young cats,

238
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: a couple of young running backs. Now Doug Baldwin's gotta

239
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: be healthy. They probably need to draft a wide receiver,

240
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: but that young defense is good. I mean, we'll see

241
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: if they trade Frank Clark, and that kind of feels

242
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: like they might. Frank Clark has been tweeting about it.

243
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: But I give them props. And I gotta tip my

244
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: hat to Russell Wilson and his camp. They made this random,

245
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: arbitrary deadline out of their ass. I was like, what, April,

246
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of random and it worked. So again, deadlines

247
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: create action and they get deals done. So next time

248
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: you want something done, just be like, at your office, well,

249
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: if we don't have a deal by next Tuesday, I'm out. Now.

250
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: The thing is you probably don't have as much leverages Russell,

251
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: so they might just say see you. But it's it worked.

252
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: So if you do have leverage, just create some random

253
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: date and say, if we don't have something figured out

254
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: by end by by this date, I'm gonzo. Because clearly,

255
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: if you have leverage, like Russell or many of you

256
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: probably listening way smarter than me, good at your jobs.

257
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Just pick a random date and tell your boss or

258
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: tell the whoever you work for, you better give me

259
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: a pay raise by this where I'm gone because it works.

260
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: It scares people. Those deadlines. If if they like you,

261
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: people get nervous and they sign you. In Russell Wilson's case,

262
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: they give you a hundred seven million dollars guaranteed. One

263
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: thing has become clear these last couple of years. Did

264
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: the NFL and listen? I I understand it. The wind

265
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: blows the fastest at the top of the mountaintop, but

266
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, because it's the most powerful business, is covered

267
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump's presidency. I mean, it's a war zone.

268
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: The moment Roger Goodell screws up, people are coming with

269
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: bone arrows, loaded machine guns, the reporters, the journalists, and

270
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: they attack. They want blood. I maybe just because the

271
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: NFL becomes so power, it's nature journalists. I get it.

272
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: But I've seen that there was a story the other

273
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: day that came out and that ratings for the NBA,

274
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, are down thirty to forty percent. Thirty

275
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: to forty percent. I know many of you guys listening

276
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: work in sales. Working business in the wrong way is devastating.

277
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: Blow right. Do you remember a couple of years ago,

278
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: one of the biggest stories in the league was the

279
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: ratings for the NFL, and I think the ratings are

280
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: a little anequated, like this podcast. I know exactly how

281
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: many people listen television. It's based on certain amount of

282
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: meters and homes. It's not a specific number, but still

283
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: that they have a pretty good idea that the NBA

284
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: is in the tank. In the NFL. A couple of

285
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: years ago, when they went down like three or four percent,

286
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: people freaked. People thought the NFL was falling apart. It

287
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: was the end of football. Football is covered in a

288
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: healthy way. The press conference with coaches with players with

289
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: the commissioner is award zone. Sometimes it probably is a

290
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: little over the top, but like a coach gets blasted

291
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: when he screws up a fourth down call, Roger Goodell

292
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: gets blasted when he does anything, even though he's led

293
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: the greatest growth in the league. I'm not some Roger

294
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: Goodell truther. I just want, I guess I'm looking for

295
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: equality here on my coverage. And I don't understand why

296
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: Adam Silver, who is viewed as like this is the

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: greatest commissioner we've ever had. He's not as good as

298
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: David Stern who David Stern took the league to whole

299
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: new heights and who did David Stern remind everyone of

300
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, And really Roger Goodell reminds a lot of

301
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: people of David Stern. Just a cold blooded killer. It

302
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: was kind of an asshole and piste off the press.

303
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: You want your commissioner pissing off the press because if

304
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: you do everything like the press, just keep being progressive.

305
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know what does that even mean. I

306
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: do know this, Adam Silver's league is falling apart. I've

307
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: been someone that's been very hard on baseball. I got

308
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: news for everyone. Baseball might be more important just in

309
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: terms of eyeballs in this country right now in basketball,

310
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: because I'm seeing the basketball, the ratings, and beside the Warriors,

311
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: nobody is watching. The league is in shambles. Remember when

312
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans owner Bob McNair r I P died

313
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: but he he made the comment running the inmates run

314
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: the asylum. He said he said something of that ilk

315
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: and people freaked out, and it's a it's a saying

316
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: that's been around forever. But his point was that when

317
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: you let the players run everything, that's when you get problems.

318
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: And the NFL is a management league, and it's always

319
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: excelled in these last twenty years. It's running circles around

320
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: the other leagues. The NBA is a players league where

321
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: the players make an astronomical amount of money. They still

322
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: talk down to the fans. You had Russell Westbrook point

323
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: to a female this year and said he was gonna

324
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: fuck her up after he threatened the guy he said

325
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: that he did not he got fined like fifteen thousand dollars.

326
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster, think about that. He did not get suspended.

327
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: He threatened to beat up a woman. Can you imagine

328
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: if an NFL player had done that. Think about that.

329
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: If an NFL player had done the equivalent, Just imagine

330
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: it being an Eagle player and they caught him on

331
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: camera saying he was gonna beat up the dude's wife,

332
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: it would have been the guy would have been suspended.

333
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: He should have been suspended. How Russell Westbrook did not

334
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: get spend it for saying that is in It's it's insane,

335
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: it's jaw dropping. Roger Goodell is hard on the players,

336
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: and the fans have appreciated that because remember when Roger

337
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: took over. Now the NBA doesn't have like a criminal

338
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: problem the NFL did. Roger cleaned it up. Ruben Foster,

339
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: who was in a situation twice with a woman that

340
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: now is over three on domestic violence claims. Two different men,

341
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Ruben and another guy three different states been made it

342
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: up all three times. The media destroyed the Redskins when

343
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: they claimed him. Even the NFL, that is overcautious now

344
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: with domestic violence, was like, yeah, he didn't do anything,

345
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: but Reuben, we gotta find you two game checks. Ruben

346
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: Foster that did nothing wrong beside probably be an idiot,

347
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: and even go meet this check at the team hotel

348
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: in Tampa got in more trouble than Russell Westbrook threatening

349
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: to beat up a woman, like the the Adam Silver

350
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: has no control of his league. People say that Roger

351
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Cadell has too much control of his league, but I'd

352
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: argue that's kind of healthy. It's working, it has worked.

353
00:18:53,800 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: The NBA is floundering like taking on water. People got

354
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: to pay for live rights. I agree, and live rights

355
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: are always going to be important, But I got news

356
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: for you. If people don't just because of live games,

357
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: like there's a reason you don't have to pay much

358
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: for ma action. No one's watching those games. On a

359
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. If if this maintains and sustains, I had

360
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: a theory the moment Adam Silver leaked earlier this season

361
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: that you know he told the NFL. Though, you think

362
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: the NFL owners would want to push over like Adam

363
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: Silver running their league, No chance. I would imagine NBA

364
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: owners are furious to Adam Silver. The players do whatever

365
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: they want. The players constantly talk down to the consumer,

366
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: which is the fan who's paying for everything. The players

367
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: don't even play hard anymore. The regular season and the

368
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: playoffs look like a completely different sport like in the NFL.

369
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: It's a little more intense in the playoffs, but the

370
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: sport doesn't look dramatically different. If I turn on a

371
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: week ten game, I'm getting full effort, like your products suffering.

372
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: And that's where Roger Goodell and the owners, having high

373
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: standards in the NFL, we all benefit. There's a reason

374
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: they quadruple and eight full tenfold the eyeballs of an

375
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: NBA playoff game on like a preseason game. It's not

376
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: a fair fight, so be careful. The media loves to

377
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: tell you the NBA is gonna catch the NFL. No,

378
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: it's actually major league Baseball might re overtake the NBA.

379
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: So be careul because sometimes I do like the NBA

380
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: is so popular, it's actually not. People aren't watching, people

381
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: are not consuming the sport. The NFL is the top dog,

382
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: and it's been the top dog for a long time.

383
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: And Roger Goodell has taking a lot of crap, some

384
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: of it very deserved, some of it probably a little

385
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: over the top. And I think there are some political

386
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: overtones with both because most people in the sports media

387
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: tend to be extreme liberals. I think the NBA's viewed

388
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: is very progressive, which again I don't really know what

389
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: that means. They don't allow, like the NBA players are

390
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: not allowed to kneel, it is mandated they stand at

391
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: attention like so that that was the David Stern rules.

392
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: So are they really that progressive? Like the NFL kind

393
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: of lets you do whatever you want. But I think

394
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: the NFL's viewed is like this conservative overload private sector business. Yeah,

395
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: they're all trying to do the same thing. They're trying

396
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: to get you to watch their product. The NFL just

397
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: does a much better job than any other sport by

398
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: a country mile. Okay, let's get to the thing we

399
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: like to call the Middlecoff mail back. You can slide

400
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: up in my d M s at John Middlecoff is

401
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: my Twitter hand or my Instagram handle and my Twitter handle,

402
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: and I'll answer your questions. I got a ton of

403
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: questions in here, so I don't know if if I

404
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: don't get to your question, I'll just answer it, answer

405
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: it manually respond on through the d M s uh

406
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: John big Jets fan. With Greg Williams system of creating

407
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: pressure with the blitz, shouldn't the team's focus be on

408
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: the secondary and not an edge rusher. If they're able

409
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: to trade down, could they target Greedy Williams or Baker

410
00:21:53,680 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: from from Georgia? If you remember last year, one thing

411
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: that Greg Williams was really pounding the table for in

412
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland was to take Ward out of Ohio state and

413
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: not take Bradley Chup because I think most people I

414
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: know I did. I thought got draft Baker or at

415
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: the time, Sam or whoever, whatever quarterback. You're gonna take

416
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: a number one and then at four take Bradley Chup

417
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: and then put him with Miles Garrett. No brainer, especially

418
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: if he was gonna go Sae Kwan and then a

419
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: quarterback you know, at three to the Jets, and they

420
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: took a cover corner because he thinks he likes cover corners.

421
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know Greedy Williams. To me, he's more

422
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: of like a Seattle type corner. Greg Williams doesn't size

423
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: is not something that he has to have. One thing

424
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: I think they could do the problem is that Jets

425
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: don't have a second round pick, huh, because they traded

426
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: it for the Colts. I was thinking maybe they could

427
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: take a corner in the second round and take a

428
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, a pass rusher in the first. But to me,

429
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: they just gotta try to trade down on one. One

430
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: thing I think they're gonna do is they're gonna take

431
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman that their offensive line was terrible last year.

432
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, they they need Tremaine Johnson was I mean

433
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: didn't work obviously, I mean, what a disaster. So their

434
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: dbs and they just don't have good corners. I mean

435
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: the days of Revas and Carmardi. I feel like seven

436
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: decades ago. Okay, with the NFL Draft coming up and

437
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: after analyzing the rosters, the best two quarterbacks in the NFL,

438
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: Brady and Rodgers, why aren't the Packers and Patriots focusing

439
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: on getting them more impact playmakers through a trade for

440
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: a dominant receiver. Bill Belichick doesn't draft wide receivers well

441
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: at all, and the Packers have Geronimo Allison as the

442
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: number two. What's going on here? They're not getting any younger? Well,

443
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: I would have expect the Packers to use one of

444
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: their first round picks. They have picked twelve, and then

445
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: they got the Saints pick thirty on a skill guy,

446
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: whether that's a no offense, whether that's a nikkil Harry,

447
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: whether that's someone they're gonna draft one. I think the

448
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: Patriot it's are gonna be you know, draft one too.

449
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: I also think you've heard stories about Rogers and definitely Brady,

450
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: like they don't really mesh with young guys. What's his name?

451
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: I mean not what's his name? Is one of my,

452
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: uh my favorite guys in the league, Davante Adams. Davante

453
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: Adams didn't become Davante Adams. So like year three, it's

454
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: hard for young players to play with Rogers and Tom Brady.

455
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Like rookies aren't just playing with Michael Jordan's you know,

456
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: it's the uh, you're not gonna put a rookie catcher

457
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: with Greg Maddox, right, you're not gonna put a first

458
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: time caddy with Tiger Woods that their expectations are just stupid.

459
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: So I guess to what your question is, why don't

460
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: they trade for a guy? I think Belichick always thinks

461
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: big picture and historically that's not the way the Packers build.

462
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Like if John Snyder, who had been running the Packers,

463
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: they would have traded a first rounder for a wide receiver.

464
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: That's just not Bill's m O. And I guess he

465
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: did it two years ago with Brandon Cooks and they

466
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: just get of him the next year when he has

467
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: to pay m Uh, I guess I wouldn't. Is it

468
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: crazy that the Patriots could use pick thirty two for

469
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: a player? Uh? Would? Would the Atlanta Falcons trade them

470
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones for pick thirty two? Probably not? Uh? Yeah,

471
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think it's belichick style and

472
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: the Packers they've definitely never been like that. Hey John,

473
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: It's clear that having a GM and head coach on

474
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: the same page as very important, and there are many

475
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: ways to do this. One way is Belichick, and the

476
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: other way Andy Reid, where the head coach is basically

477
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: the GM and makes a lot of personnel decisions. And

478
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: the other way is the way the Eagles have done

479
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: it by having how we do the personnel work. So

480
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: you said Andy and Belichick were the same. Andy used

481
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: to be like that in Philly since Kansas City. He

482
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: let John Dorsey pick the players, and now he lets

483
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: Beach pick players. But I know what you're saying to me,

484
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: it would be like Belichick, Gruden, Pete Carroll technically had it,

485
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: but he gave all the juice to John Schneider because again,

486
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: coaches don't really want to do it. Uh, the Eagles

487
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: have done with Doug Peterson focus on the field and

488
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: football stuff. Which way do you feel works best? To me?

489
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: If you're gonna have the coach run it, he's got

490
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: to be elite at doing it. And if you look

491
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: around the league, Gruden has it, Pete Carroll technically has,

492
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: but John Snyder picks that Belichick has it. There aren't

493
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: many coaches that have it because the coaches should not

494
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: have it. They do not think big picture. Even Andy

495
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: realized he was better off just letting someone else do it.

496
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Now you have to take their input and they have

497
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: a good, you know, feel for it. But Kyle Shanahan

498
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: kind of he's got a lot. I mean, technically it

499
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: is Kyle Shanahan's decision. But I do think he trusts,

500
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, John Lynch to do it. Now that hasn't

501
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: worked out perfectly. Like Sean McVeigh, he's got no personnel power.

502
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think there's a right or wrong. I

503
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: think in a perfect world, you have the Eagles situation,

504
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: you have a strong personnel department. How he is dynamic

505
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: with agents, with value, with understanding where you can draft

506
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: a guy. He's brought in Joe Douglas from the Ravens,

507
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: who these last four or five years is an unreal evaluator.

508
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: They make a dynamic tandem and they have a really

509
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: good coach. To me, that's the way to do it.

510
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: You look at the way the Bears of work with

511
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Pace and Matt Naggy. I I think the way

512
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: it works like with John Gruden and Mike Mayock, like it, Bill,

513
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Everyone knows who's picking the players. I'll give

514
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll a lot of credit. He kind of seeded control.

515
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: He's like, John, this is your baby, you do it,

516
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: and it empowered him. Like Gruden's kind of b asked.

517
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: He's like, you know this is on Mayock. No, it's not,

518
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: it's on you. John. It's again I'm biased. I would

519
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: always try to get a GM. I would separate church

520
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: and state. You coached the team, I picked the players.

521
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: Now you gotta work together like they're not gonna pick

522
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: a player in the first round of Doug Peterson says,

523
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: I refused to coach him. But there's sometimes there's gonna

524
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: be disagreements. That's normal, you know, not everyone I think

525
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: with scouting. I mean, you and I can watch the

526
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: one player any sport. You might like them. I might not.

527
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's no different in the actual league. You

528
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: have draft meetings, a player comes up, I like them.

529
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: You don't miss the great cool part of our draft

530
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: from meetings we all watch. We can all watch the

531
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: same game and have a and have a different takeaway.

532
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: Just started listening a few weeks ago. Welcome buddy. The

533
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: Colts made somewhat surprising free agent signings with Devin Funch

534
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: just a few weeks back. In addition, they brought Clayton Gathers.

535
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: Uh signed a wide receiver and a safety. Oh wide

536
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: receiver and safety are the two needs for the Colts,

537
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: along with d lineman and corner. For most mock drafts

538
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: i've seen, the Cults are still taking a wide receiver.

539
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this. I've heard Collins say

540
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: multiple times that beyond the top fifteen picks, there is

541
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: so much parody. What are the chances that they load

542
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: up their picks by giving up the first round of six?

543
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: I would take someone at twenty six. I would not

544
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: be against. I find them they kind of you know,

545
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: struck oil with Eric Ebron, this former first rounder that

546
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: looks like a star for them. T Y still a stud.

547
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: Their offensive lines really good. Those couple of young running

548
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: backs they have Mac forget the other guy's name, but

549
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: they're pretty good. I like actually their young running back tandem.

550
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: They could probably take another guy in this draft because

551
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: I got multiple second round picks. I would draft a

552
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: receiver in the first round or a pass rusher if

553
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: I felt comfortable, because to me, the secondary is a

554
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: little overrated. It feels like uber Flus is pretty good.

555
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: Deal with the when I say overrated, meaning that like,

556
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I'll draft guys in the mid rounds. If you're drafting

557
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: late in the first round, I'd rather go wide receiver

558
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: because I think one of the number one wide receiver

559
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: might be on the board when they draft. Uh. And

560
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: I think in the second round you could probably draft

561
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: a corner and probably you know, another defensive lineman. That's

562
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: what I'd probably do. But I'll say this, the Indianapolis

563
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Colts have been putting out a series on Twitter on

564
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: their scouting department. It's pretty cool. I am a big

565
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard guy. I questioned him last year, but he

566
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: proved me wrong. And I'm an idiot. And there's a

567
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: reason he makes millions of dollars, you know, running the Colts.

568
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing. Uh. You know, my guy,

569
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Matt Naggie always told me he loves him. Veach loves him,

570
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: and he loves him. I mean those guys, I'm not kidding.

571
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: Like when they used to talk about Ballard, They're like,

572
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: this dude's such a stud. And I'm kind of naturally

573
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: just counter culture or counter like, you know, everyone says

574
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: one thing, I sometimes go the other way, not even

575
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: when the evidence is not there. But last year I

576
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: legitimately was like I'm not taking a guard number six

577
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: because I would have taken ro Quan like I get

578
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: Quinn and Elson's really good, but I would have taken

579
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: ro Quan where he proved me I'm an idiot because

580
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: he drafted quinnin Nelson, who's an All Pro, and then

581
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: he drafted this badass, basically the defensive rookie of the

582
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: year in Darius Leonard. So I was like, yeah, he

583
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: knew what he was doing the whole time, So I

584
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: I tipped my hat to him, and I like Andrew Luck,

585
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a Colts guy. I was actually always

586
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: a Manning guy before I rooted for Tom. I started

587
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. I always wanted him to win it. And

588
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: then when he finally won in O six, and then

589
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 1: I worked in the league and it was impossible not

590
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: just to like, I mean, just be in awe of

591
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick. So I kind of flipped. Though. I

592
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: still like Peyton, but in the in the late nineties,

593
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: definitely the early two thousands, I love the Colts. I

594
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: still actually kind of roof for him. Uh, this question

595
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: is way too long. Do you think the Niners should

596
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: trade the second pick if the Cardinals keep the pick

597
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: and somehow don't take Murray. Let me reread that. Do

598
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: you think the Niners should trade the pick. Okay, so

599
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: if they take Bosa, let's say at number one, and

600
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: they don't trade Rosen, should the Niners trade the pick?

601
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: I think one thousand percent. They should call the Raiders,

602
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: who I know for a fact, like Kyler Murray, who

603
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: also think that the Cardinals are gonna take Murray, and

604
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they take Bosa, which would be stupid

605
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: because if I was the Cardinals, I would just trade

606
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: the first pick to the Oakland Raiders for like two

607
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: or three ones. But the Niners should trade two to four,

608
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: and so you basically get four. That means you get both.

609
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: That means you're guaranteed a really good player at four,

610
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: and then you get another first round pick. You might

611
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: even be able to get like a future third too. Yes,

612
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: one thousand percent. If if the Cardinals take a player

613
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: at number one, the forty nine are should trade with

614
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders and get Kyler Murray. Question why don't the

615
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: Saints trade the number two pick? Trade their trade? Saints

616
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: trade the number two pick and Bridgewater for Rosen. That

617
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: would free up seven million in cat space. I think

618
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: give the Saints a viable future and back up for

619
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: Breeze and basically no cost, the Cards would get a

620
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: viable starter if the number one pick is a bust

621
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: on a cheap salary. Just my thoughts, Well, I see

622
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: what you're saying, but what if the Saints told you, yeah,

623
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: Rosen cheaper. But I think they liked Teddy Bridgewater. Clearly

624
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: they like him. I mean they resigned him. They're comfortable

625
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: with him. They think he's really good, Like, why couldn't

626
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: he be the future? He was a first round pick. Now,

627
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: I think Rosen was the more talented guy coming out

628
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: of college, but there are some question marks with Rosen.

629
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: There was some Sports Illustrated feature video feature on him.

630
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he might be too smart for

631
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: his own good, but he's a talented passer. I do

632
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: think he loves football, I think, but I would just

633
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: keep Redwater. To me, that's kind of out thinking the room.

634
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I just I just keep Ridgewater. Question for

635
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: the middlecoff mail back, who's the safest pick in this draft?

636
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: Is it Nick Bosa or Quinnin Williams? And who is

637
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: the riskiest player in this draft to get in the

638
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: first round. Thank you for viewing this and I always

639
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: look forward to listen to podcast. I'd say the safest

640
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: pick is Nick Bosa. Now, granted he's gotta stay healthy,

641
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: so you could argue that's not a safe pick. Maybe

642
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: the safest pick is just Josh Allen. If you're a

643
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: three or four team and you take Josh Allen, he's

644
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: not gonna fail. It was gonna be an All Pro,

645
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be Khalil Mack. I don't know, but he's

646
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a solid NFL player. To me, Nick Boss

647
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: risky in the sense that it he could get hurt.

648
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: He's had two major injuries in four years. Quinn and

649
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Williams is a risky pick in the sense that he's

650
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: only he's been a one year wonder. Now I defend him.

651
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: The one year he was he red shirted, then his

652
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: red shirt freshman year. Doron Payne, who was a thirteenth

653
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and was a junior, played ahead

654
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: of him. So it's like it's not like some undrafted

655
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: free agent. He couldn't beat out the thirteenth pick in

656
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: the draft, and then the next year he came back

657
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: and kicked as I would say the riskiest player in

658
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: this draft, that's a pretty good question. Probably with Shawn

659
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: Gary I was talking to my buddy Lewis Riddick last

660
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: night on the phone, and you know, and I talked

661
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: to people in the league, like his measurables are freakish.

662
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's a top recruit, went to Michigan, played

663
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: right away, as flash plays over his first couple of years.

664
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Last year was pretty awful. But then he stands there.

665
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: He looks the part. You can watch games like I

666
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: would imagine Jim Washburn, who by far was the best

667
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: defensive line evaluator I was ever round in the NFL.

668
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: I mean, he's fantastic. He was, he was big time.

669
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: His son still coaches in the league. I bet if

670
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: if I don't even have his number, but if I

671
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: texted him like you like Rashawn Gary, I bet he'd say, no,

672
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: he's lazy. He's just an underachiever. Now I don't I

673
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: don't know enough about the character, like what makes him tick,

674
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: Like does he need to get with a coach? It's

675
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna be in his ass. And most defensive line coaches

676
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: are screaming at you a lot. So the NFL, but

677
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: so is Michigan. Like Michigan is a tough place to play,

678
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: but he was kind of the big dog on campus.

679
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: As I was talking to Lewis, you watch Michigan play.

680
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: The two guys that are kicking the ship out of

681
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: everyone every game are win of it. The out the

682
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: pass rusher, who's gonna go higher than people think, like,

683
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: don't be shocked if he like sneaks into the first round.

684
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: Definitely early second round when a bitch can play. And

685
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: Devin Bush, you could argue that Devon Bush is better

686
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: than Devin White. Now, Devon White's a little bigger, a

687
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: little better athlete, but Devin Bush is a tackling machine.

688
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: I got a question about the Pats defense is younger

689
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: and improving, but Brady isn't getting any younger. Is the

690
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: time to cash in some assets and go for someone

691
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: sorry about that Hawkerson, or get a quarterback in the future. Yeah,

692
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean again, if they could get like Julio Jones,

693
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: I'd get Julio Jones with some of these picks. I

694
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: don't know if that's possible. Would the Bengals trade them

695
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: a J. Green? I would do that if I was Belichick.

696
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: If I can give you a second round pick for

697
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: a J Green, boom, done deal. I think the first round, like,

698
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: could they take a win of it, just a badass

699
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: pass rusher just to get them ten plus sacks that

700
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: that wouldn't shock me. Uh that they definitely need some

701
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers. They have so many picks. I mean, they

702
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: got their pick thirty two to second rounders and three

703
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: third rounders. They'll definitely do something. I mean, but Bell.

704
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: The thing for Belichick is unlike me and you, they're like,

705
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: I got the Bat's gotta do something. Who's gonna play

706
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver for them? What are they gonna do? Bill

707
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: doesn't think like that. Bill. Bill is not He's just

708
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: like not worried. Now. Granted, why would he be. He's

709
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls in three years. He's won like,

710
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: uh six super bowls as a past head coach. When

711
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: to his assistant, he's got eight rinks. Bill Belichick's eight rinks.

712
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: So I don't think he loses sleep over. Just like

713
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: the short term problems for your mail back, I love

714
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: to ask if the Browns traded up into the teens

715
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: to snack Devin Bush from Michigan, you could name a

716
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: better roster than Cleveland, considering Kitchens utilizes max protections to

717
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: help Baker only touched nine times if they were to get.

718
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: If the Browns get Devin Bush, how would they trade

719
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: up into the teams? Though, So they traded away their

720
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: first round pick, they traded away a third round pick.

721
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: I guess the third round pick was the Patriots pick.

722
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: So they would trade like their second round pick and

723
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: their third round pick and maybe like a player or something.

724
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: And I think it would next year's one. I think

725
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: it would be hard for them to get in the teams.

726
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: But if you told me that the Cleveland Browns end

727
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: up with Devon Bush, yeah, I would say they're gonna

728
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: be They're gonna be freaking good at football. I just

729
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: someone told me today texting with an uh like an

730
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: assistant director of college scouting. He didn't think that Devon

731
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: Bush or Devin White. I mean both are probably gone

732
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: in the top thirteen or fourteen picks. Like Devin Bush.

733
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: To me, Devin Bush is gonna come off the board

734
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: way faster than people think. Remember a couple of years ago,

735
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: everyone like like Christian McCaffrey. People thought Christian McCaffrey was

736
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna go like twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and then the Carolina

737
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: Panthers took them eight, and everyone was like, damn McCaffrey

738
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: just went eight. It's gonna be one of those like,

739
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: oh my god, Devin Bush just want seven. I get

740
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you get ready for that because that that's

741
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: that's happening. What are the Broncos doing with the tenth pick?

742
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: Are they going quarterback? I'd be a little shocked if

743
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: they want quarterback. I know one thing Elway asked got

744
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: to do something. Well. Their defense is pretty good, right,

745
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: They got two pass rushers, they got some horners, they

746
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: got a defensive head coach. They need offense. They're running

747
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: back situation pretty good. They had a they had an

748
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent make the Pro Bowl. Now he broke

749
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: his hand or finger or something. Hopefully that's all right.

750
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be a problem. Royce Freeman is a good player.

751
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: Tight end Jake Butt towards a c L for like

752
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: the seventeenth time he's out. They still got Emmanuel Sanders,

753
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: but he got hurt, so who knows. I don't know.

754
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: If there's a receiver you could take, its tend could

755
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: you take like Noah Fan or the Hockinson kid from Iowa.

756
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: You couldn't take Drew Lock, But then you're taking a

757
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: player that's not gonna help you right away. I'd be

758
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: a little shocked if they take quarterback at number ten

759
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: with the defensive head coach. I really would. I I

760
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: don't see that happening, So I'd say, maybe they go

761
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: tight end, maybe they take the you know, they'll they'll

762
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: have the first crack at one of the two the

763
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: best tight ends. What was your thought on the format

764
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: from Master Sunday given the storm front. I thought the

765
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: threesomes that I like to question. I thought the threesomes

766
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: gave NonStop action all Sunday with minimum one good shot,

767
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: one interesting shot, and a great shot on most teoffs,

768
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: approaches felt faster paced and less dead air on the telecast.

769
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: Given the shrinking attention spans need to speed up sports,

770
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: is this an immediate strategy for golf to employ. I'm

771
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: gonna take this picture because I'm gonna tweet this out.

772
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: I love this question. I think I think the number

773
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: one thing anyone can do right now in television when

774
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: it comes to sports is urgency, urgency, and more urgency.

775
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: It's why playoffs for the NBA in theory and and

776
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: MLB are good. It's why golf majors are big time.

777
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot on the line. It's why football is

778
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: so unique. Every game matters. Same with college football, every

779
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: game really matters, and then once you get to the playoffs,

780
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: you can you lose, You're gone. That's why we love

781
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: march madness. You can't have I sometimes I I've never

782
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: thought of it that way, but you're right. When you

783
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: play in golf majors and they go off two SOMs,

784
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: it can be a little slow, especially if it's just

785
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: like two or three people in the mix. When you

786
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: get threesomes. Now, the one thing I will say about

787
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: Sunday with the Masters, the majority of television time was

788
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. I mean there was a couple of times,

789
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: especially on the back nine, and be like, oh my god,

790
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: Tiger's gonna win this thing. And then all of a

791
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 1: sudden they go to some other guy like Patrick can't

792
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: lay and he'd be like putting for eagle to take

793
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: the lead. You're like, oh my, Patrick can't lay. I

794
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen him hit one shot all day. So I

795
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: do think Tiger when he's in the mix, gets of

796
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: the coverage as he should. I mean as he should.

797
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, I the tea officer that it

798
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: helps the teofs for sure, because you get to see

799
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: wham bam bam. You can see three guys hit shots.

800
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: I like that. God, you guys think outside the box.

801
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: Buckeye fan here a lot of bigs feelings on what

802
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: type of quarterback dayne Haskins is. Would it be crazy

803
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: thought for the Patriots to view them as their heir

804
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady? They seem like a very similar players

805
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: in terms of skill set. It would be out of

806
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: character by the page striots to move up and draft

807
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback high and round one. But doesn't seem totally

808
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: crazy to me. I would imagine you'd have to fall

809
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: like past fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, somewhere in that range. Someone

810
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: told me that would know that he's not gonna make

811
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: it past the Redskins at fifteen is Dwayne Haskins after

812
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: that year, And I know one of the knocks on

813
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: him he played at Ohio State. There all these sweet players.

814
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: Ohiwse States always had really good players. No, I'm pretty

815
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: sure no one in the history of the program. I'm

816
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: starting for forty eight touchdowns like this. Dude's a baller.

817
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: I think he's really good. I'm shocked. He's kind of falling,

818
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: and I wonder if he ends up not really falling,

819
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he ends up going to the Giants at six.

820
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: Maybe this whole thing was a smoke screen. I don't

821
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: think he's gonna fall far enough for the Patriots to

822
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: do some craziest move, but if he felt like twenty

823
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: or something, one can see the Patriots jumping up there.

824
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: Some of these questions are just really long, so I'm

825
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: gonna skip over him. It's kind of a right, right.

826
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: I watched the first half of the Warriors game, came

827
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: back at halftime now to record the middle cuff fail back.

828
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: Last question of the night, big fan, blah blah blah,

829
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: Thanks Josh Jacobs from LLAMA. Question is his ability to

830
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: consistently make people miss and his vision? Uh sham oh

831
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: I questioned his ability to consistently make people miss in

832
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: his vision. Also, when would you feel comfortable drafting to

833
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: kill Harry. I'm not as high on Josh Jacobs as

834
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: some people like Daniel Jeremiah Rinnick. Some of these draft

835
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: guys love Josh Jacobs. I have no problem with Josh Jacobs.

836
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: I get he's probably more of a pass catcher and

837
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: just more of like a bang it physical back than

838
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, Some'm like, guy that's gonna make He's

839
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: not Shady McCoy. You know he's not. He's not Ezekiel Elliott.

840
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: But he can catch the ball. He's a high character guy.

841
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: He's really tough to me. He's a type guy you're

842
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: taking the second round. I'm just not. I'm sorry. Maybe

843
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, Maybe I don't know what the hell I'm

844
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm not taking Josh Jacobs in the first round.

845
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. No way. My philosophy and I've

846
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: changed a little bit. Used to be I'm never taking

847
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: a running back in the first round. Okay, I'm gonna

848
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: change it because the last couple of years, we've seen Zeke,

849
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: we've seen Girly, and we've seen McCaffrey. If I think

850
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: a guy is gonna be a no doubt about it

851
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: pro bowler, and definitely the thought that with Girly, Zeke

852
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: and the Panthers had to think that with McCaffrey to

853
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: take him at eight. So if you think the guys

854
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: have no doubt about it, not just a pro bowler,

855
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: but I mean, if Gurly stays healthy, all three of

856
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: those guys are like five six seven time Pro Bowlers,

857
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: Then yeah, I'll take him in the first round. Josh

858
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: Jacobs is not making multiple Pro Bowls. That is not happening.

859
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: So I'm taking him that guy in the second round

860
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: and then maybe he makes one or two and I

861
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: feel good about it. A ton of good running backs

862
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Shady McCoy, Levian Bell, Alvin Kamara. Uh,

863
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: and I was when I was bullshit was riddick. He's like, well,

864
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: if you could redo the draft, you take Camara in

865
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: the first round. Well yeah, but when you got if

866
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: I could resell my house, now I sell it for

867
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: two grand more than I bought it for. We have

868
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: more information. At the time Alvin Kamara was drafted, he

869
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: went in the third round. At the time Kareem Hunt

870
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: was drafted, he went in the third round. At the

871
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: time Shandy McCoy and levy On Bell were drafted, they

872
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: were drafted in the second round. You can get those guys, Like,

873
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: it was clear Zeke was gonna go really high, right,

874
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: it was clear, girl, he was gonna go high. But

875
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: some and if you do miss on a first round

876
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: morning back and it's Lendon for net, you're kicking yourself.

877
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: I would take Nickiel Harry Again, I think Nickiel Harry

878
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: is like a bigger version of Juju Smith. I think

879
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: n Kiel Harry is going to be star. Might be

880
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 1: strong because they were probably only five or six star

881
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: wide receivers. But it wouldn't shock me one day if

882
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: he's like a top five wide receiver for a couple

883
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: of year period in the NFL physicality contested catches. He's

884
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: like an an Juan Bold and meets Jujie Smith. I

885
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a stud in the NFL. Now,

886
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: given where I think I could get them, the earliest

887
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: i'd probably draft him would be like, I don't know,

888
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, nineteen, somewhere in the late teens. But again,

889
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: I like him more than most. I would have taken

890
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: Juju in the first round and everyone was telling me, oh,

891
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: you get him in the mid second round. I would

892
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: have taken Davontae Adams and some some receivers I just

893
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: don't quite see. Like the rest of the NFL, I'm

894
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: more bullish on taking a receiver high than I am

895
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: a running back high. Like even if everyone's like, oh,

896
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 1: you can get Davontae in the second round, I don't

897
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: give a ship. I would have taken Dvante in the

898
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: first now, but I won't take running back to the first,

899
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like I would have taken Melvin

900
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: Gordon in the first. Melvin Gordon's a big time player,

901
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't have done it. Uh So, I mean

902
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: to each his own. We all have different philosophies. Uh. Well,

903
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: I guess i'll talk to you next week. I don't

904
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: know exactly what the schedule is for next week is

905
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: I probably won't do one Thursday night for Thursday morning.

906
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: Maybe I will. We'll see. We'll figure it out next week.

907
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: But I got some ship going on Thursday night. Maybe

908
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: I'll do it Friday. Maybe i'll do it on the weekend.

909
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll have to figure that one out.

910
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,719
