1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John Middlecop Three and Out

2
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: podcast just got done watching a little overtime football, a

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: little free football. That was a great game, Uh, extremely entertaining,

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: and we will definitely dive into that off the top.

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, justin Herbert Drew Brees um that was That

6
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: was a riveting second half. Really, it was a riveting game.

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: I have some thoughts on Herbert. I mean, we've talked

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: about them before, but we'll just keep hammering home some thoughts. Uh.

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: I guess I don't have that many thoughts on the Saints,

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: but you know, Drew Brees is kind of getting crushed,

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: you know on social media that he shot. Uh, we'll

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: dive into that. Obviously, Dak Prescott broke his ankle, devastating.

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta fired their GM and their coach. Steelers keep on

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: winning the Brow. The Browns almost called them the Brown niece, uh,

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: sevanskiing coach man. Some thoughts there. Middlecoff mail Bag of

Speaker 1: the podcast, helps to sell it. You know what helps

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: put food in my belly. So let's start with the game.

38
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: And like football, and I just think sports in general,

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: there's been this huge push to make everything so analytically driven,

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: like we're running one big fortune company. And listen, I'm

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: not anti numbers. I'm not. I think it's overrated, Like

42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: analytics making this new stretch into football, Like they've always

43
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: played a huge role. Why do you think everyone goes

44
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: to combine? Like what do you think guys do and

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: what do you think the quality control guys do? They

46
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: break down percentages of the packages everyone's in, so you

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: know when it's third and long, what they do in

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,279
Speaker 1: certain situations by percentages to give yourselves a winning probability

49
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: to get in the right looks. Like analytics have always

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: been a huge part of sports, especially football, and I

51
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it gets over Loan by his impact,

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: And I think there's a large percentage of people And

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I've always prided myself on this, Like listen, I mean,

54
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: if we want to dive into the numbers, I have

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: no problem doing it. But if you've listened to the

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: show for a while, like I, I clearly don't need

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: them to talk about it, and just to talk about

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: sports in general, Like I can watch any sporting event,

59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: whether it's baseball, basketball, obviously, football, golf, you name it,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: and just have an opinion whether the guy is good

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: or not. And I think I have a really good

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: feel for really talent, really talented people, and especially when

63
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: it comes to football. And I don't think I'm gonna

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: say anything that you didn't see, but sometimes I think

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: we try to overthink it and then it just hits

66
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: us in the head and it's obvious. And I said

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: it when the guy was coming out of the draft.

68
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: He was Listen. I clearly like Josh Allen. I mean,

69
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: I think he's like an MVP candidate right now. I

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: did not like him coming out of Wyoming. And I

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: don't know how you could have. He wasn't accurate, he

72
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: didn't win. Uh, he just wasn't a productive player. He

73
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: just he didn't make good plays. Really, I just didn't

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: see it. But I never disputed his physical tools. Right,

75
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: He's six four, he could throw it, you know, a

76
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards. He has a absolute hose in terms of

77
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: speed of his passes. You know, he was a big

78
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: time athlete. It was all there. You just had to

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: mold him and the Bills, Brian Dable obviously, Sean McDermott,

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: the operation there is molded him and turned them in.

81
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: If you listen us on Tuesday, they played at night,

82
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine they'll play well. But even if he doesn't,

83
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: like he's put together for a really good game. Like,

84
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: the guy's a really talented player. Justin Herbert was much

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: more accomplished, much better prospect coming out of college. He

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: was six four or six five. He's a big time athlete,

87
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: meaning he can run, scramble, and he obviously has a

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: massive arm. So like from a scouting perspective, that's kind

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: of what you and and both those two guys fall

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: into the same category. They're really high character, smart guys.

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: So white. You're telling me, I don't have to worry

92
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: about his work ethic, I don't have to worry about

93
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: the way he acts. I don't have to worry about

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: people liking him because all of his teammates love him. Uh.

95
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: What do the coaches think about him in his previous stops? Oh,

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: they rave about him. So and then you tell me

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: he's got all the physical tools, Like I'm taking chances

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: with those guys, and listen, we haven't seen to a

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: play and I'm not trying to bag onto. Uh. But

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: like from a physical standpoint to, I can't hold Herbert's jock. Now,

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: there were things inside the sport, right at Alabama. He

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: could do that. Herbert couldn't do you know, progressions, just

103
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: the ability to like go one through four scan the field.

104
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Herbert didn't do that in college. Herbert also didn't play

105
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: with any NFL players none the majority of my life,

106
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: definitely my adult life, like junior high on probably the

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: late nineties. Oregon was a factory of skill guys, wide receivers,

108
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: tight ends, running backs. I don't think Herbert might have

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: played with one in his collegiate career. Who is making

110
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: an impact. I mean, who even plays right now in

111
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. Obviously to h played with like four top

112
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: fifteen picks. I'm not I'm not trying to compare him

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: with to Uh. But my point is, I bet if

114
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: you put justin Herbert at al Obama, he would look

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: fucking sweet because you put them with Mike Williams, you

116
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 1: put him with Keenan Allen, you put him with Hunter Henry.

117
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: He's got a lot to work on, but it's pretty clear,

118
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Like holy hell, if you watch football all day Sunday

119
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: and all day Saturday and then Monday night, you got Yeah,

120
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I didn't see many guys that look like that. Now,

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: it's not perfect, but you just I tweeted this during

122
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: the game. There is not a soul on God's Green Earth,

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: including Sean Payton and probably including like Drew Brees family,

124
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: that if they had to bet money on a team

125
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: that would take Justin Herbert over Drew Brees for the

126
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I'm not obviously the future one

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: guy's William. I'm just talking to the rest of the season.

128
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: I'd much rather have Justin Herbert, so would Sean Payton.

129
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm not saying that Justin Herbert is gonna

130
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: sniff Drew Brees' career, but right now, like you just

131
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: put the two guys on the same field, like quarterbacks

132
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: don't play each other right when they're they're never on

133
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: this field at the same time. But the great part

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: is when you just Patrick Mahomes versus Justin Herbert, you

135
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: just get to watch the EBB and flow of the

136
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: game and you go, God, these guys kind of you know,

137
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: I see physical tools or Josh Allen and uh and

138
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I'm not saying these guys are Patrick Mahomes,

139
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: but you just see the physical tools. You're like they

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: both are throwing, have howitzers on their arm, they that

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: that is called elite talent. Once upon a time, Janice

142
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: was you know, picked in the middle of the teens.

143
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: He's developed into a multiple time m v P. Like

144
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: in basketball sometimes you can get quarterbacks. Now, there's a

145
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys with the physical tools that never pan

146
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: out for whatever reason. And we could probably pinpoint it

147
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: work ethic. Uh. Toughness, I think is a is an

148
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: underrated quality we don't talk about. Here's what I know

149
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert, that's a tough s ob. Why is

150
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen working out tough? Why is Patrick Mahomes kicking

151
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: everyone's ass? Well, he's tough too. Like, you can't excel

152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: at quarterback if you're not tough. It's a it's it's

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: a no worse position. You're you're soft. You will not

154
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: be able to sustain play. It's just not possible. If

155
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: you're flinching, if you're scared of the rush, and listen,

156
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: I I would be scared of the rush. I think

157
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: most people listening. Would You see Joey Bosa, you see

158
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan, you see the size of Tomario Davis. I mean,

159
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't blame guys for flinching. That's why the position

160
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: pays million dollars. It's why when you walk into a

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: bar with your entire team, the hottest girl in there

162
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: wants to talk to you first. It's just it's part

163
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: of the position. Like, it's just it's why there's only

164
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: a small handful of guys, and it's pretty clear this

165
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: guy has a chance. I'm not saying he will be,

166
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: but he has a chance to be. I mean just

167
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: a superstar. I think he's already a stud. I'm not

168
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna overreact. It's October, but Rookie of the Year. Like,

169
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna win many games. And his fault,

170
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean they're on that final drive. You got three

171
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: time outs and they ran a draw on the first

172
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: play and had a waste of time out and then

173
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: on the final drive before overtime, and then they ended

174
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: up taking a fifty yard field goal. Like this is

175
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: my problem with Anthony Lynn. Stop being so conservative of

176
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is not your quarterback. Philip Rivers, who I'll

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: talk later about in the pod. Like his arms shot,

178
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: it's over, he can't throw. I'm not saying anything that

179
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: anyone doesn't know. You watch Philip Rivers on Sunday and

180
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: you watch Justin Herbert on Saturday, you think yourself, are

181
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: they playing the same sport? Do you know what Indianapolis

182
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: would do for Justin Herbert right now instead of Philip Rivers.

183
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you they do a lot. And it's just

184
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch a young guy that has a

185
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: chance to like live up to this potential. And I

186
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: think we can be critical of a guy like him because,

187
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: like you know, I watched him in college. He was

188
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: throwing to nobody. And I think we assume because he's

189
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: playing in Oregon, because historically a ton of solid players

190
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: have come out of the program. But that wasn't the

191
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: case when he was there. It just wasn't, you know.

192
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't playing with NFL guys. Now, Mario

193
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: is doing an unreal job recruiting and they're gonna have

194
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: NFL guys, But during his tenure, especially the last couple

195
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: of years, it just it just wasn't the case. But

196
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: he's right now with a coach that I'm pretty sure

197
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn is not gonna be the coach next year.

198
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: So who who's gonna be the offensive mind you bring

199
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: in and mold this guy? Because I was just actually

200
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: texting with Gottlieb. Do you know what Sean Payton and

201
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Sean mcveigh's and Kyle Shanahan. I mean,

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: obviously I know that Andy has one, but like those

203
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: type guys, that's what they're looking for in a quarterback

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: right there. You know what Sean Payton would do to

205
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: get that guy next year to have when Breeze is gone. Like,

206
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: let's face it, the Breezes. I admired Drew Brees for

207
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: so many things. The way he carries himself, the way

208
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: he acts his entire career, his professionalism, everything he stands for.

209
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: He's just been a model, you know, poster child. You know,

210
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: he's that child poster man. I mean he's forty huh,

211
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: poster you know, face of the league facing the league

212
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: white with Peyton and Brady and Roth. I guess maybe

213
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: he's probably more Roethlisberger, uh and Rogers. But let's face it,

214
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: if you watch him, like his arm has never been great,

215
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of shitty now and on just basic passes,

216
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: he's skipping him in the ground. He's just he He's

217
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: hung his hat on accuracy and right now with his

218
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: arm strength, it's hard now, he's still smart and like

219
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: I said, his toughness is right there because he definitely

220
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: can't move, so he has to beat you with smart toughness,

221
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: just the ability to know what's going on before you do.

222
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: But his physical skills, while they were never great, are

223
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: basically really diminished and we shouldn't be at chock. He's

224
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: forty years old. But it's safe to say it's kind

225
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: of over like that their ceiling, and he's not the

226
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: main reason their defense has been a problem. I'm not

227
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: pinning their problems on Drew Brees, but he is a

228
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: problem for them, Like, he's not their main issue. It's

229
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: been coverage and Guy's wide opening their secondary. But Drew

230
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: Brees is no longer that potent. Drew Brees does not

231
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: scare me. I didn't pull the trigger to night. I

232
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: almost put money on the chargers, which plus seven you

233
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: would have felt pretty good when he went over time.

234
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: But almost put it on the money line. It was

235
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: like plus two fifty. People ask me, like, what does

236
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: that mean. It means if you put a hundred dollars

237
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: you win two hundred fifty, which is pretty good odds.

238
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: And uh, I just watched the game like I had

239
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: been on it. I kind of pushed out and I

240
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: didn't actually been on it. But I never at any

241
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: moments like Drew bree is gonna beat me. I never

242
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: thought that. Now he still makes plays. I mean's an

243
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: all time grade, he's a Hall of Famer. But I

244
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: just don't look at him the same. And that's not

245
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: like some shot. It shouldn't even be abnormal. He's forty

246
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: years old. He's forty. The difference of Brady to me

247
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: between Peyton and Breese, who both fell off like is

248
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: those guys arms always sucked. They hung their hat on accuracy,

249
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: like Brady has a much better arm than those guys. Honestly,

250
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: it's why Brady has way more Playoffs success than those

251
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: guys because when he plays in the cold, Brady historically

252
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: throws rope through the cold. When those guys playing cold situations,

253
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: the ball doesn't quite go through the cold the same way.

254
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: It's just physics. Maybe I don't know. I'm just stay

255
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: school grad, but it's it's pretty obvious to see, Like

256
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: I know this justin Herbert. If he if he can

257
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: become what I think we all think it can become,

258
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: his balls will fly right through the cold because he's

259
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: throwing out of fast us. Now he needs to develop

260
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: some more touch. He just needs to keep playing. But

261
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: holy moley, that guy is as when you draft a

262
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the top six, that's everything you ask for.

263
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: Listen that this might sound a little great. And I

264
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: like Joe Brady. I think Joe Brady is gonna be

265
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: a I mean a pro bowler. There's a chance that

266
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is the best quarterback in this draft. And

267
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: I know we haven't seen too but I have a

268
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: hard time seeing two of being better than this guy.

269
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: I do now. It depends. I mean, they got all

270
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: these draft picks in Miami. Maybe they get them too

271
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: sweetwide receivers. And maybe he is good and I like

272
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: to it, but he gets here injured a lot. He

273
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: can't really run, his arm is not that great, like

274
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, let's be honest. Just close your

275
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: eyes and just think of what you watched Justin Herbert.

276
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Do you think two was gonna be that good? I mean,

277
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: just that like pop off the screen because I would

278
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: imagine most people listening is have watched a lot of

279
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: football in their life that that's pretty crazy what we're

280
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: just watching. When justin Herbert these last couple of weeks

281
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: that sound just like, well, that's a good play. It's like,

282
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: holy shit, what is this guy doing? Now? I know

283
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: they're losing. I'm gonna put that more on the coaching

284
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: staff and just the franchise, But man, that was I

285
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching Justice Herbert. Okay, let's dive into Dak Prescott

286
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: and it was. I mean, it's one of the more

287
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: powerful scenes you'll ever see in sports when a guy

288
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: and we see, you know, probably a couple of year

289
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: of just gruesome injuries of and I think the power

290
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: of a gruesome injury, you hate to say it is

291
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of dictated who the player is. You know, we

292
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: see gruesome injuries, but if it's some random backup, you know,

293
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: you just go oh. But when it's the starting quarterback

294
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys, the internet shuts down. Every person

295
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: on their couch kind of goes silent. I can imagine

296
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: every Cowboy fan kind of goes silent. And then the

297
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: visual of his ankles sticking out the wrong way, the

298
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: cart taking him away, him in tears like it just

299
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: if you're not moved, I that I don't know what

300
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: to say. It was just It's a powerful thing to watch,

301
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: whether you root for the Cowboys or not from the

302
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: human side, because at the end of the day, the

303
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: NFL it's assets are humans, right. I mean I'm watching

304
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: I Got Mad Money on in in behind me with

305
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer talking most companies their assets. I mean they

306
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: have assets that are humans, but typically are products, right, food, electronics,

307
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: streaming services, whatever, like in football, your main I guess

308
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Jerry has a stadium, but its main assets are as players,

309
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Like it wouldn't It would be irrelevant where they played

310
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: if they were good, right, I mean, they could play

311
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: in a ship old stadium, if they were winning twelve

312
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: games a year and competing for Super Bowls like the

313
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: the assets he'd have on his team would be very valuable.

314
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: And you could argue just this team has some very

315
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: valuable assets. And the most important guy in the NFL

316
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: right now is a quarterback. And I think this guy's

317
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: story as from a human standpoint, is well documented. Some

318
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: of the tragedy in his life. I love you know,

319
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: I've been a huge fan of just the way he

320
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: conducted himself just since he's been in the league, and

321
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for the guy. It

322
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: was hard to watch, you know, a guy get carded off,

323
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna try to keep hammering home what

324
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I said about him overall is that I've always been

325
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: kind of on the fence about how much money you

326
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: would pay him, and that there might be and we'll

327
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: find out as the season goes. But like the just

328
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: the reality and then just the physical nature of the

329
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: sport leads to major injuries like this. He's not the

330
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: first and he won't be the last. So like at

331
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you're taking a step back

332
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: once you take twenty four hours forty eight hours to like,

333
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: have have we been given a reprieve? Because what were

334
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: we gonna do next year? Where were gonna franchise him? Again?

335
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: We did offer from a contract, and I think I

336
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: think one thing you see sometimes it's like this is

337
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: why players fight for long term contracts. Actually he wanted

338
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: a shorter term contract. Jerry Jones offered him like five

339
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: and six years, offered him over a hundred million dollars guaranteed.

340
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Dak turned down, which I commend. I've turned down money before,

341
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: thinking I was worth more. You know, we've all conducted

342
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: business in some former fashion, whether it's a house. You

343
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: low ball in a house, whether you you overbidding on

344
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: a house, whatever, right, any transaction you make, you know

345
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: of any financial consequence. Let's say over six figures, let

346
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: alone ten figures. With it with an NFL quarterback is

347
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: an intense negotiation and you can either think that it's

348
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: worth more or worth less. And Dak obviously the work

349
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: worth more. But he did make and I googled it

350
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: before I press record today he has made thirty six

351
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: million dollars on the field. If worst case scenario he

352
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: can never play football again, he'll be okay. You know,

353
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: think about he's made thirty one million dollars this year.

354
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be okay. And one reading the day, the

355
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: prognosis gonna be a four to six month recovery. He

356
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: should be able to play next year. But I do

357
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: think have you anyone that bets knows sometimes if you

358
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: either get late to a game or just somehow screw

359
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: up and you don't get a bet off before kickoff

360
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: or tip off or whatever you're trying to gamble on

361
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: and whatever, like yesterday, I would have hammered the Chiefs.

362
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: Would have absolutely hammered the Chiefs. I was thinking about

363
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: betting on the Chiefs right before kickoff. I had a

364
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: buddy that actually texts me like, bro, I'm gonna put

365
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: a couple hundred bucks on the Chiefs. And then he

366
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: texts me he's like, I didn't get the bet off

367
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: in time. And about halfway through, I'm like, I text him, like,

368
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: you're pretty lucky, and then he actually bet on halftime.

369
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: But if he just sometimes you get lucky in these situations.

370
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: And we're gonna find out Andy Dalton with all these weapons.

371
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: I don't think Andy Dalton's as good as Dac, but

372
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: I've struggled with healthy Dac. If I was gonna give

373
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: him a hundred twenty million dollars, that doesn't I'm just

374
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: talking about the player. And the great part is when

375
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: you get high character, great team leader, all that stuff

376
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: is really really important. Drew Brees has it, Tom Brady

377
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: has it. I think Peyton Manning has it. Those guys

378
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: were elite players that you never hesitated giving elite money to.

379
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: And I think for as bad as yesterday was two

380
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: days ago, down if you're listening on Tuesday, it really sucked.

381
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: From a human standpoint, From a football standpoint, I actually

382
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: think it brings in a lot more questions like what

383
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: do you do? Because you were already clearly on the

384
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: fence with his value, and I think most people listening

385
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: probably were two. You know, I I don't love paying

386
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, hell even Carson Wentz that much money. I

387
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: don't like, did you see him? What to Shaun Watson.

388
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: It's hard if I'm gonna give premium money. They are

389
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: like three guys in the league right now. I feel

390
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: really good about giving historic contracts too, obviously Russell Wilson,

391
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes. Other than that, like part

392
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady going to Tampa, they only had to

393
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: pay him twenty five million dollars for two years now.

394
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Obviously that's age, but like they're not tied to him forever.

395
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: When you when you signed these Jared Goff Carson Wentz contracts,

396
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: you're tied for like four or five years. I googled

397
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: and we'll get into the Falcons a little bit later.

398
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: Last week when Nick Mullins before we turned out turned

399
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: out Jimmy Garoppolo is pretty bad too. When we found

400
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: out Nick Mullins is got awful, I went, you know,

401
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if Kyle Shanahan would want Matt Ryan, so

402
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: I googled his contract situation. They owe him fifty million

403
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: dollars next year on the debt on the cap, so

404
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: they can't trade them or else they have they'd be

405
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: paying on their cap space have fifty million dollars of

406
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars taking him out Ryan so hot take newsflash,

407
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere because remember last year, I think,

408
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: or was it two years ago, they gave him over

409
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars guaranteed. And when you do that,

410
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: you're stuck. Now with these older guys, they can diminish,

411
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: like Doc is in the prime of his career. I

412
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: just don't know, Like, am I just paying that for

413
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: mediocrity because I'm not winning with him? And I hate

414
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: to say this, because I'm not trying to beat a

415
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: dead horse. On a day that and on a week

416
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: that his you know, his ankle flipped. It's awful, it

417
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: really is. But that's part of the league. Like I've

418
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: been in these meetings, I've seen it. You just the

419
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: mindset just moves to like, do we need to draft

420
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: a guy? Are we gonna go back down this owed?

421
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: And I know what I would do I would probably

422
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: not that hundred million dollars plus contract wouldn't be on

423
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: the table anymore. I don't think I would even franchise

424
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: him now. I was thinking today, I just wrote down

425
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: a couple of teams. You know, Danny Dimes a disaster

426
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: and with Jason Garrett New York. You would think that

427
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, plus dealing a quarterback away from

428
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, maybe they'd get a little cheaper, would be interested. Uh,

429
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, Now, they would not pay him

430
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: a million, but if they could get on the cheap,

431
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: would they be interesting? Doc, I think he'd fit in

432
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: that offense this assuming And I know Jerry and Steven

433
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: have said all the right things today about he's the franchise,

434
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: but the words don't mean anything to me because you've

435
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: been saying he was a franchise last year, and you

436
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: actually think you're having second thoughts about that when you're

437
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: giving him the contract offer, because deep down I don't

438
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: think you feel great about giving him huge money. And

439
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: I never blamed you. Now this situation just gets the water.

440
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: The water gets really muddy here, and I don't have

441
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: an exact answer um. And I could see if you're

442
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: around him every day, how you like him? Does Mike McCarthy,

443
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: let's say Mike didn't like him. Does he have enough

444
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: juice when he's when his team is not really winning.

445
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can make the playoffs. You would

446
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: think the fact though, they would just end up in

447
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I don't know. I mean, Andy Dalton

448
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: was successful on teams that were really really talented in Cincinnati.

449
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: This Dallas team, their offensive lines and shambles. Their defense sucks.

450
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Like I guess they could win the division at like

451
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: six or seven wins. I mean that sounds crazy, but

452
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem improbable. Uh, the Eagles actually have played

453
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: a lot better in the last two weeks. Maybe Washington Redskins.

454
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly Ron Rivera hates Dwayne Haskins. Kyle Allen's

455
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: a backup. Could they be interested in Doc? You know

456
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: they've run, they've used an athletic quarterback before. But the number, like,

457
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: I got no clue. I mean, I just think it's

458
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: hard to sign a guy to huge cash that's coming

459
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: off a compround fracture. It's it's gonna be he might

460
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: need to sign kind of a lower valued contract, maybe

461
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: better on himself again. Hell, what if Belichick he did

462
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: a little rehab with Cam, rehab it again with Dak

463
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty one, Dak Prescott, quarterback of the of

464
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. It's assuming Cam Newton, if you

465
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: can ever test negative for the coronavirus, comes back and

466
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: has a good year in Belichick keeps him. But I

467
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: know Belichick is not into given quarterbacks a hundred million dollars.

468
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: So it's just a fascinating situation that we didn't No

469
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: one has any answers on and I'm just it's gonna

470
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: be uh, it's gonna be very interesting to watch how

471
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: this thing plays out. Okay, let's let's dive into the

472
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. And I think too often owners piece mail

473
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: aut with a guy they like and don't fire both

474
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: the GM and the coach. So I now listen, some

475
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: Falcons fan would been like, this should have happened a

476
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: while ago, and I probably agree that these guys shouldn't

477
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: have been brought back, but I give him credit for

478
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: just firing both guys. Just blow the thing up. And

479
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: I think Rahey Morris named the end of him. Who

480
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: cares all these guys are gone? As they should be.

481
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the coaching staff in Atlanta is off full.

482
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Thomas Demetrough, I'll say this, I met him a couple

483
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: of times. I met him once at a Pack twelve

484
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: football game. Uh. I met him when I was younger

485
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: in the league, and he was really cool to me.

486
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he couldn't have been any nicer. Now. I

487
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: don't think he's a great GM or anything, but he

488
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: was really nice to me and I everyone I know

489
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: that have been around him, they like him. I just

490
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: don't think he made some great moves, like he drafted

491
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback which he's falling off a cliff. Matt

492
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: Ryan looks awful like Philip Rivers. I mean, it looks

493
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: like those guys careers are over. But he drafted that

494
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: guy and it changed their franchise. It got him to

495
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: multiple championship games won Matt Ryan and m v P.

496
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: It got him to U Super Bowl, which hell, they

497
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: probably should have won. I mean, health they should have

498
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: won your up three. He I give him a lot

499
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: of credit for the Julio Jones move. Bill Belichick told him,

500
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: do not make the move. I have nothing but admiration

501
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: for human beings to put their balls on the table.

502
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: When you have conviction for something, sometimes in life you

503
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: gotta take a swing when you think it's worth it.

504
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: And he did all the work, and he traded all

505
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: those picks to get up and get Julio Jones and

506
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Hulo Jones. Gonna be a Hall of Famer like that worked.

507
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: That was a smashing success. Those two guys, Clearly they've

508
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: had a lot of other holes. And dan Quinn I

509
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: tweeted this on Sunday night. You know the most miraculous

510
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: part about Thomas de Metro's thirteen year career as GM.

511
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: And I think for one year he wasn't a GM

512
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. But let's just for for argument's sake, let's

513
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: call him thirteen years of the GM. His two coaches

514
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: were Mike Smith and Dan Quinn. Neither individual will ever

515
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL. Again, It's not

516
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: like his two coaches were like, yeah, he's hired Sean

517
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: McVeigh and uh and Mike Tomlin, right, I mean, it's

518
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: two coaches weren't any good Now. Part of being a GM,

519
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: it's more than the draft. It's hiring a head coach.

520
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: And he hired those two guys. Now I know dan

521
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: Quinn got him to the Super Bowl, and dan Quinn

522
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: seems like a really high character guy. And I'm a

523
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: bald guy and I root for the bald guys. He's

524
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: not a very good coach. He tried to be the

525
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator last year, had to fire himself. He knows

526
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: nothing clearly about offense, like he is at the control

527
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: of whoever his offensive coordinator is. So they started over

528
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: at an agent in football. Tell me the Atlanta job

529
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be the best job. They have an owner

530
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: with huge pockets, they have an owner that showed insane loyalty.

531
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: Now they're stuck with Maddie Ice next year, his dead

532
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: caps fifty million. But hell, maybe they could tank the

533
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: rest of the season be in position to get a quarterback.

534
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: So and Matt Ryan is the ideal type guy you

535
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: would runt want a round your young quarterback. I mean,

536
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: they're owing five now, you think, just unlike the Jets

537
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: who are probably gonna go own sixteen and the Giants

538
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: who might win one or two games, you would think

539
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: Atlanta would run into three wins. You know, I'd say

540
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: between three and four wins when all the dust settles.

541
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: But you get to come in from scratch, you get

542
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: to be the GM. What I'm gonna be fascinated is

543
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna go two ways. And I don't know if

544
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: there's a right or wrong way to do this, because

545
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: if you hire the right coach Pete Carroll, Andy Reid Belichick,

546
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: and you let them hire the GM. Like when Andy

547
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: was hired, he got to hire John Dorsey, When Pete

548
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Carroll was hired in Seattle, he got to hire John Schneider. Right,

549
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan hired John Lynch. It's not going that well

550
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: right now, but it went it had. It was good

551
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: last year. I assume it will be better sooner or later.

552
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: Like you can go that route higher the big time coach. Obviously,

553
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: there are just some names to get floated out there

554
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: a lot right now. Urban Meyer like had success in

555
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: the South. I know he's never coached in college, but

556
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: if he was interested, I would imagine Arthur Blank would

557
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: be interested, and clearly he's hiring his GM. Same with

558
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Dabbo Sweeney. Now would that work? I would say probably not.

559
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: He makes huge cash at Clemson, but eventually, if they

560
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: win another national championship this year, you get tired of

561
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: coaching in college. Do you want to take your shot

562
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: in the big leagues, because listen, I love college football.

563
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: I watched college football all day on Saturday. Sundays are

564
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: just and it's just a different level, right, It just is.

565
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: So would Dabbo ever be interested? I don't know. Jim

566
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: Harbaugh who his four years in the NFL. His first

567
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: year was eight and eight. He beat the Atlanta Falcons

568
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship to get the San Francisco forty

569
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: Niners Super Bowl against Ravens. Three straight NFC championships like

570
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: his His resume hasn't been great at Michigan, but his

571
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: resume with the speaks for itself. He did with Alex

572
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Smith the Colin Kaepernick too, like they were a defensive,

573
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: run the ball team. Now I think that might be

574
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: a question like is he a dynamic offensive coach? Fair question.

575
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm just those are names that I pulled because I

576
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: think you saw last year with Matt Rule, like, who

577
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: is the big name When I was in the NFL,

578
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien was like the big name in college who

579
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: had some NFL experience. I don't really know who that

580
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: guy is right now. Matt Campbell maybe at Iowa State.

581
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: It seems like a pretty big jump to me. There's

582
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: not a guy in the pack twelve. Those are the

583
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: three names that come to my mind. Or do you

584
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: go like Brian Goodikins, you hire an NFL guy who's

585
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: a GM and let him hire his Matt Lafleur. You know,

586
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: I think names that are would come with a GM.

587
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: I think they would be interested in interviewing. Would be

588
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball with the Bills. Him and Josh Allen.

589
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this, We've got the Bills are

590
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: playing on Tuesday. They're killing it this year. He's been awesome.

591
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith with the Titans, also playing on Tuesday. I

592
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a hot name. His dad was

593
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: the CEO of was a FedEx. I mean, and he's

594
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: a kick ass offensive coordinator. Eric bi Enemy with Mahomes

595
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: and Andy is gonna be a guy that gets a

596
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: lot of love like to meet. Those are the three

597
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: internal candidates in the league that teams are gonna hire.

598
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: I listen, I would not hire a defensive guy. I

599
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: want an offensive coach. I want my head coach to

600
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: call plays because it's a quarterback driven league, so no

601
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: matter if my defensive coordinator leaves or my offensive coaches leave.

602
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: As long as I got my play caller and the

603
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: guy that works with a quarterback, I'm gonna feel them. Okay,

604
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: and that look at Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVeigh, Andy Reid,

605
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: Sean Payton like they're not like, okay, offensive assistants leave.

606
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: See a good luck to you, godspeed, Bruce Arians can

607
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: call the offense and work with quarterbacks. I want la

608
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: flour offensive coordinator work with quarterbacks like I want that

609
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: to be my head coach. That out to me, is

610
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: the only thing I'm looking at because defensive head coach

611
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: the moment your offensive coordinator Sweetney leaves like you ain't

612
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: calling the offense, you're not coaching the quarterbacks. And two

613
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: things I think that probably put Arthur Blank over the edge.

614
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: I think the Browns this year, I watched the game

615
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: early Monday morning against the Colts, have been fantastic. Kevin

616
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: Stefanski has been a home run higher and who was

617
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: he last year? One of the best offensive coordinators in

618
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: the league. He's come to Cleveland. They already had the

619
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: infrastructure there, they already had the players. They added a

620
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: couple offensive linemen in every game you watch him, and

621
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: I bet Brown's fans would admit they probably haven't seen

622
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: anything like this, and I don't know how long two decades.

623
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: The flow in the rhythm of the play calling is fantastic.

624
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Now they have a lot of great players, and he

625
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: did last year two in Minnesota, but he has been

626
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: a home run higher. So you go, well, the day

627
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: ball b Enemy or Arthur Smith, can one of those

628
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: guys be this year's Stefanski because I want this year Stefanski.

629
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: Maybe we can just you know, play within Matt Ryan Strengks,

630
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: we still girl's under contract, who actually looks good, Calvin Ridley,

631
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, we got pieces on offense. Can we just

632
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: score some points right that? That would be kind of

633
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: my mindset. I'd be looking for that. I'd be looking

634
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: at the Cleveland Browns what they did getting rid of

635
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens, and obviously Dan Quinn is a lot more

636
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: accomplished and a much better coach than Freddy Kitchens. But

637
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: I'd want something like that, or that would be an

638
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: option i'd be looking for. And I think when I

639
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: bring up the other names, you just got your ass

640
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: kicked by the Carolina Panthers, and I was wrong on them.

641
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be one of the worst

642
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: teams in the league. Matt roan coach, Matt Rules a

643
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: big time coach. There's a reason that David Tepper gave

644
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: him seventy million dollars. He is, he's a star man.

645
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: Now he's a little hardball tomlin ish like one day, like,

646
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: is Joe Brady gonna get a job? Help you if

647
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: you're the Falcons, do you interview Joe Brady? I think

648
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: he's only thirty one. But Sean McVeigh broke down that

649
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: glass door, right, I would have said. I did say.

650
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was insane hiring Sean McVeigh, badass coach.

651
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: I take Sean McVeigh as my head coach any day

652
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: of the week. So I I think you try to

653
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: put the pieces together. Here. You look at Carolina, who

654
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: just hired a sweet coach. They kicked your ass. That

655
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: comes under that urban Harbaugh dabbo type guy, you know who.

656
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: He had one year NFL experience, but he had never

657
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: been a head coach, never been a coordinator in the league.

658
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: And to me, you hire a guy like that, typically

659
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the Jews to hire his own GM.

660
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: But if you hire a Joe Brady, if you hire

661
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: a b Enemy, if you hire an Arthur Smith, if

662
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: you hire a Brian Dable, I think you can get

663
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: a GM that they like. Now here's the key. Here's

664
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: the key to success in the NFL. Your GM and

665
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: your head coach have to speak the same language. They

666
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: have to be on the same page. They have to

667
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of be friends, you know, or at least have

668
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: a friendly working relationship. I can only speak to the one, uh,

669
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, I I was there in Philly, like Howie

670
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: and Andy worked well together, and now clearly Andy and

671
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: Beach worked very well together. They speak the same way. Nguage.

672
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: John Schneider and Pete Carroll are a great example of

673
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: two guys that are just on the same page. They're

674
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: looking for the same thing. Bill Belichick and Bill Belichick

675
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: are always on the same page. Now that's you know,

676
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: he's an outlier. I think Kevin Colburt and Mike Tomlin

677
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: clearly work well together. So ultimately, whether you go with

678
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: the Hardbaugh Dabbo Urban, you're still gonna have to find

679
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: them a GM. And I saw it with Hardback, couldn't

680
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: get along with trybacky, So it's it's not a guarantee

681
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: of work. If you hire a GM first and they

682
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: hire a coach like you just hope they get along,

683
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: but you never know. And that's the biggest question to

684
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: meet in the NFL, beside like who your quarterback is?

685
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: How is the relationship with your coach and your general manager?

686
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Do they have a good can they speak the same language?

687
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: Do they look for the same things and players? Do

688
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: they fundamentally look at building a roster, building a team,

689
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: coaching a team, getting rid of players? Like are they

690
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: on the same page with discipline when a guy fucks up?

691
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: Like are they cool with just cutting an average player?

692
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: Some guys aren't. Some guys are just because we drafted him.

693
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: Do you care? I personally don't. I would cut a guy,

694
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: but some coaches or some gms might not, right. So

695
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: it's just those are things you never truly know. And

696
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: I think clearly Dan Quinn and Thomas de Meetrov had

697
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: a good relationship. They just he couldn't pick the right

698
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: players and Dan couldn't coach the players good enough. So

699
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: that's I think anytime we get now we have two

700
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: general manager jobs open with the Houston Texans. You sometimes

701
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: you forget Bill O'Brien was in charge of everything and

702
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: UH and the Atlanta Falcons, and I think that these

703
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: GM jobs don't come open very often. The Texans have

704
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: a quarterback under contract that you'd like to work with

705
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: the the the Falcons do not. And he makes an

706
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: overpaid guy, but maybe he could be a bridge, you know,

707
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: for your young guy. And let's face it, I'm watching

708
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: college football on you know, there's gonna be three or

709
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: four starting quarterbacks coming from every class moving forward. There's

710
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: never been more guys throwing the football forty plus tw

711
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: times a game. The reps they have in high school,

712
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: let alone in college. Like like Andy Reid told me

713
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, he said, evaluating my homes,

714
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: everyone thought because he played in the spread offense was hard.

715
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: He's like, I found it easy. I just removed all

716
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: the quick passes, right, like the quick wide receiver screens,

717
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: and I watched every pass down the field. Well, if

718
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: he's throwing fifty sixty times a game, if the quick screens,

719
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: even if they're ten of them, and he threws fifty five,

720
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, attempts in a game, and you removed ten,

721
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: you still get to watch passes, so you do the math.

722
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: If you want to watch eight games, you get to

723
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: watch a lot of evaluation. Period. When I was a kid,

724
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: like the nineties, some of these often some of the

725
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: guys would throw its seventeen times a game. It was

726
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: actually much more. It's never been easier. I'm watching Alabama

727
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and throwing at every play. So the game's changed,

728
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: the games of all. But the key is your relationship

729
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: with your head coach, Like clearly Stefanski and uh I

730
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: forget that the guy's name, the GM they just hired. Ah,

731
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: what the is, isn't it Andrew Barry with the Cleveland Browns,

732
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: Like they're on the same page that they really are.

733
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: Looks like Matt Rule and uh Marty Hernie are working

734
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: out well together. So if you get a good relationship

735
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: and you hire a good coach, you have a chance

736
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: for success. You know, I think it's natural. I mean

737
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: we're all humans to just the more you get conditioned

738
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: to life to just take things for granted, Like every day,

739
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: I'd imagine everyone listening just has food available right either

740
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: in your fridge or if you pick it up, and

741
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: you just when you go to the store and buy it.

742
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: You're like, it's gonna be fine. I can eat it

743
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: where you go pick up a burrito or pick up

744
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: a salad. You never go, I'm gonna get sick from this.

745
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: You just open it up and eat away, and you're like,

746
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: I feel good. You know, just we we don't even

747
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: think twice about it. You just do it right. And

748
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: just it's got in my car today, went to go

749
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: drive up to this charity golf tournament, and just I

750
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: don't have to walk, I don't think the bus. I

751
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: literally just get in my car. Are just basic things

752
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: that some people don't have. Definitely, look at some you know,

753
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: third world countries and stuff, the transportation roads. I mean,

754
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: it's just pretty easy. Get on a freeway, boom bang,

755
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm there, and I I just think the more you

756
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: see something in life, the more you take for granted.

757
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: And definitely I would imagine anyone with young children. No,

758
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: and my parents always try to do this to me,

759
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: and one day I'll probably try to do it with

760
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: my own parents. You know, children, it's like conditioning to

761
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: them that like, we're lucky to have this stuff. Take

762
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: take pride in this stuff, take ownership in the room

763
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: you have or the home we have, or like this food,

764
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: like I worked for this or your parents worked for this.

765
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't just doesn't just appear. You know. We we

766
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: got it pretty good here. And I think sometimes in football,

767
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: after a while you can take for granted just how

768
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: good something really is. Right, And someone tweeted at me

769
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: or instagram me a while back and said, do you

770
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: think that Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin are almost taken

771
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: for granted? And it hit me when I was watching

772
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: the Eagle Steeler game, which was really good, I was like, Yeah,

773
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: I think they are because Mike Tomlin, in his worst

774
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: year of his NFL career, has never finished eight and eight.

775
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: Last year with Duck Hodges and Mason Rudolph found a

776
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: way to finish eight eight And he's a guy. And

777
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: part of this is the more success you have in

778
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: the sport of football, the more criticism you have instead

779
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: of just being like, you know what, Mike Tomlin is

780
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty seven and seventy four in his

781
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: NFL career, a six fifty winning percentage. He's above five

782
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: hundred in the playoffs at eight and seven, obviously won

783
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. But I think people just like, oh,

784
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: it's just Mike Tomlin. Could we do better? No, you

785
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: can't do better, because when he's had a capable quarterback,

786
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: now his defense rolling this team's four and out, they

787
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: look fantastic. Obviously, they play the Browns this week. Huge

788
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: game for the Brownies. I mean, biggest game in Cleveland Browns.

789
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, probably feels like history in the modern era. Honestly,

790
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not trying to just say that. I'd

791
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: have to really do a deep dive study. Is that

792
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: fair to say? Like the biggest game in their modern

793
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: since they came back to Cleveland? This is like this

794
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: biggest game for the Steelers since last week. All Mike

795
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: Tomlin does is playing big games. He played in for

796
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: about a ten year period with Ray Lewis and net Read,

797
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: the best rivalry in the NFL. He plays in all

798
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: these playoff games. Obviously he could. He got beat by

799
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: Belichick a decent amount, right, He's been beat by Belichick

800
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: in uh, I guess just once in the playoffs. It's

801
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: showing me here, but it feels like the Belichick's beating

802
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: him a lot over his career. But Belichick beats a

803
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: lot of people Belichick's beat, and he read a couple

804
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: of times in the Super Bowl, in the FC Championship.

805
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: It's not nothing to hang your hat on. I think

806
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin is fantastic. Their team looks fantastic, Their defense

807
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: is unreal. Kevin Colbert drafts every wide receiver he drafts

808
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: turns into a pro bowler. The Pittsburgh operation is really

809
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: just the model of success, probably behind Belichick. Since Mike

810
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: Tomlin's been there ten and six, twelve and four, nine

811
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: and seven, twelve and four, twelve and four, then two

812
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: down years at eight and eight, eight and eight, eleven

813
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: and five, ten and six, eleven and five, thirteen and

814
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: three and two years later. He's four now after the

815
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: eight and eight season last year with no quarterback play.

816
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, just sometimes and I don't think Steelers fans

817
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: necessarily do, but sports fans think how many teams in

818
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: the NFL would trade their coach from Mike Tomlin, Think

819
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: how good he is now. Part of it might just

820
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: be the operation, the combination of him and Kevin Colbert,

821
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: but those guys, man, I just watched their team, the physicality.

822
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles gave everything they had, and the

823
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: Eagles are fighting for just like their credibility back. They

824
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: actually have thought, played really hard, their defensive lines, good,

825
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders making plays, and the Carson looked pretty good.

826
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: Steelers just better and they should be. I mean they're

827
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: they're much healthier. But I mean, if you told me

828
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Super Bowl this year, I

829
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: believe it. They have a fantastic defense, they have a

830
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: dynamic offense, and if Ben can just stay erect. We

831
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: know they haven't got enough coach like they're they're just

832
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: their whole operation is just top notch, first class. They're

833
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: just winners. That's just what they do. And I think

834
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: sometimes we just it just happens. You know, it probably

835
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: happens with Alabama football, with Alabama fans. I'm sure it

836
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: happens with like Yankee fans. You just take for granted

837
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: the greatness. And I wouldn't call the Steelers greatness, but

838
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: they are just And I know a lot of people

839
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: in the media sector of given Tomlin a lot of

840
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: ship and he's a perfect coach. No, there is no

841
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: perfect coach, but he's he's in the class. Is damn good.

842
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: A guy that just wins all the time and wins

843
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: pretty convincingly against really good teams and definitely, over the

844
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: last ten years fifteen years, the most physical division in

845
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: the league. So I got nothing but Mike Thomas respect

846
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: for Mike Tomlin, and I'll promise you this, I don't

847
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: take him for granted. Okay, let's get to a little

848
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: middlecoff mail bag. Really enjoy your show, the way you

849
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: look at the game, appreciate it. Was curious. Everything we

850
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: know about COVID nineteen tells us of guys in the

851
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: NFL wouldn't get symptoms or would basically be a cold,

852
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: and that they'd be willing to bet money. The majority

853
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: of players would probably play through it anyways. Why doesn't

854
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: the NFL and the players just kind of say, screw it,

855
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: We're not gonna think about COVID. We're gonna go out

856
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: there and play the game we love. I know there

857
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: would be players that don't buy into it, but I've

858
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: always felt that you'd find guys to step up. These

859
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: guys are undrafted to begin with, and I really really

860
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: feel as long as you don't have a quarterback play

861
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: drop off, you'd really be fine with the output on

862
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: the field or four fans. Maybe I'm delusional. I don't know,

863
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: just feel like we're out thinking the room when it

864
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: comes to this virus. When you break it into the

865
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: rod numbers, Well, I think the majority of players, just

866
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: like the majority of younger people I know, don't really

867
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: give a shit about corona. Like they follow the rules

868
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: and they're doing everything you say, but they do not

869
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't think the majority of players in the NFL,

870
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take an educated guests are not scared of

871
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: the virus. The overwhelming majority. Hell, a lot of them

872
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: got it and hasn't faced I know a lot of

873
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: people that have got it and haven't faced them. People

874
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties. Now, there are a lot

875
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: of older people on coaching staffs, right There are several

876
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: head coaches that are in their sixties. Uh, not the

877
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: healthiest of coaches. So I I do think there is

878
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: a mix of it's not just players, but the coaches

879
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: and training staff. That's where I think it kind of

880
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: gets into murky waters. Also, like this is a business

881
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: and it's all about litigation and lawsuits, and you know,

882
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: some of these guys have families, and I think it's

883
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: just more it's it's more complicated than that. I see

884
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Uh, And this would be something the

885
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: average media got would be like, oh my god, I

886
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: can't believe you said that. I honestly, when I go

887
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: on social media, the actual media members are way more

888
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: scared of Corona than any single human I know. And

889
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: that includes a lot of people in their seventies. How

890
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: the people in their seventies that I know give less

891
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: ships about Corona than like I do. And I'm on

892
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: the low end. I don't care at all. I just

893
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: if you give me a rule, I'll follow it. Uh.

894
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: I think most people in the NFL are just they're

895
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: just trying everything they can to get this season through.

896
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 1: It's clearly not going to change. I hear what you're saying,

897
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: but it's just it is what it is. How do

898
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: you feel about Bills O C Brian Dable's resume Before

899
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: this offseason, He's never had an offense finished in the

900
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: top twenty passing scoring your total offense. Prior to him

901
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 1: having incredible talent, including Alan playing out of his mind,

902
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: his offense has been largely been relegated to being mediocre.

903
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: Given the nature of today's NFL, it's practically given that

904
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: if Alan can continue to look good this season, Dable

905
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: is bound to get a head coaching job. With that

906
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: being said, do you feel like he's a quality candidate

907
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: in your opinion? Where would you rank him amongst those

908
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: due to recede head coaching offers? Let me, because I

909
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: mentioned him earlier, let me bring up his resume. Pretty

910
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: sure he's been the OC at Alabama, so that doesn't hurt,

911
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, having Saban, assuming Saban likes him, which I'm

912
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: pretty sure he does, so let's just go his recent resume.

913
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 1: He's the offensive coordinator now in his third year at

914
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: with the Bills. He's gonna get a lot of credit

915
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: for the development of Josh Allen, whether it's true or not.

916
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: Like he he just is. He's forty five years old.

917
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,959
Speaker 1: Then he was the co offensive coordinator and quarterback coach

918
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: for Alabama in two thousand seventeen, so he's gonna get

919
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for that. Then he was the

920
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: tight end coach at New England for he basically worked

921
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, excuse me, the Patriots from thirteen to sixteen.

922
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: Then Bama now with Josh Allen, like I don't even

923
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: need to look at the rest of his resume, that's

924
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. And when you look at these guys that

925
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: are getting hired, I think the hard thing is you

926
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: never know, right because more than likely he's going to

927
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: go to a team that doesn't have a very good quarterback.

928
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he'd get Matt Ryan. I guess, uh. I

929
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: don't know how good he is. I mean Sam Donald's

930
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: and Shambles. I think he's solid candidate. I don't know

931
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: him personally. I don't know much about him. I'm gonna

932
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: have to do research as this year goes on to

933
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: get some more details. People I know that have been

934
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: around him like him, but I mean I don't I've

935
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: never personally met him. At what point do we start

936
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: questioning Kyle Shanahan as a coach. The consensus is that

937
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: he is a great offensive mind, but Jimmy g seems

938
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: to his regrets in this year under Kyle, and I'm

939
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: really beginning to wonder if Kyle is a good coach

940
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: or just a great offensive scheme guy. I know the

941
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: Niners are crazy injured right now, but the Dolphins game

942
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: was physically painful to watch. As a lifelong die hard

943
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: Niners fan, I can't disagree with the sense of the

944
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins game. That was one of the most embarrassing performance

945
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. You're an eight point favorite at home.

946
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: It can't happen. Listen. He's not the defensive coordinator, but

947
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: he's the head coach. And the moment you have a

948
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: practice quite out guy out there getting smoked by Ryan's Fitzpatrick,

949
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: you gotta pull him out, and they refused to do that,

950
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: so it wasn't It was the most embarrassing moment for

951
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan as the Niners coach. I think he if

952
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: he was sitting right here, I think he'd even admit

953
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: that too. It was ugly. I don't think he's overrated, though,

954
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean we just saw him last year dominate the league.

955
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: I mean he had he played Mike Zimmer, Matt and

956
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. Michael Matt Lafloor, I think Mike's is on

957
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: actually Kyle Staff, and he destroyed those two teams, I mean,

958
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: ran it all over, just kick their ass. And he

959
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: was beating Andy in the Super Bowl. So like Andy

960
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: beat Pete Carroll last year, he beat Sean Payton. You know,

961
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 1: he had a lot of big games, beat Sean McVeigh,

962
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: twise like, I think Kyle is pretty damn good, but

963
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: he had an awful game Sunday against the Bills. After

964
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: watching Day's game, I realized that Jimmy g probably doesn't

965
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: care about winning. His press conferences doesn't seem to show

966
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: him very upset. He has eighty million in the bank,

967
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: but he also has one good season, and that is

968
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: with Kyle calling perfect plays. With the season going south

969
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: and Corona affecting the draft, is it possible to see

970
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: the Niners options at quarterback of the future. Maybe Matt Ryan.

971
00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for both pods. Appreciate that. Uh. As I said earlier,

972
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's dead cap is fifty million. He's not going anywhere.

973
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: I think the moment Jimmy Garoppolo gets mentioned halftime the

974
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: Niner the quarterback watches on now, it doesn't mean Jimmy

975
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: Garoppolo turns the season around, plays better. It could go away,

976
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: But the moment that happened, like I know, Coward tweeted

977
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo better reach out to his real estate

978
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: agent like that, there's just no disputing when you when

979
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: you get bench at halftime and you're starting quarterback, like

980
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And I just there's just no way

981
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: around it. It's just a not a not a good

982
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: sign for the future. I want to know what you

983
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: think of the Prescott situation Dallas now that he suffered

984
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: a serious injury. I thought he made a huge mistake

985
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: this last offseason by turning down the deal the Dallas

986
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: offered because he's not an elite quarterback worth elite quarterback money.

987
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: What's next for him in the Cowboys. Huge fan of

988
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: the pod, appreciate it. Yeah, I talked about it earlier. Um, listen,

989
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: we all make decisions, and decisions have consequences, good and bad,

990
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: and definitely decisions have risks involved that most everything we

991
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: do involves a risk. Everything we do a job, we

992
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: take a girl, we date, food, we eat, I mean,

993
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: everything we do involves risk. And when you talk about

994
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: huge money and contracts in pro sports, like declining a

995
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, like bro, there's one million dollars is cool,

996
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: But there's a risk that you could shatter your ankle.

997
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: And I think we kind of flippantly say that, like, hey,

998
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, there's a risk he gets seriously hurt. The

999
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: majority of the time, the worst thing that happens is

1000
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: like an ankle roll or like a broken hand, like

1001
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: it's like whatever, you shattered your ankle and your bone

1002
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 1: sticking out like that's that's an awful, you know outcome.

1003
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: But that was the risk he took when he did

1004
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: not take, you know, the long term contract. Longtime listener

1005
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: from originally from the Bay area, Chesapeake Bay. Not a

1006
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: Browns fan, but I think it's become clear that Cleveland

1007
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: got it right with the Stefanski higher God, you guys

1008
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: are all on the topics I've been talking about. I

1009
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: like it, from the sideline temperament to play calling. You

1010
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: could argue he's the closest Kyle Shanahan clone to date.

1011
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: In fact, he made Cleveland a must watch team. I

1012
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: agree that said, why was Cleveland seemingly the only team

1013
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: interested in hiring the guy as a head coach play caller?

1014
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: He was also their finalists last year before Ego Dorsey

1015
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: went Freddie Barf Paul de Podesta, who has taken a

1016
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: lot of ship over the years, lobby the hardest for Stefanski,

1017
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: and Cleveland's GM Andrew Barry loved him as well of

1018
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: all the teams. Why was Cleveland the only organization able

1019
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: to realize Stefanski had the goods. Does this suggest Cleveland's

1020
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: new front office is more cohesive, high level than people realize?

1021
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: Bet Minnesota among other teams which they would have hired

1022
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: Stefanski and head coach in retrospect, I agree, I don't

1023
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: necessarily have an answer. I was thinking, like, God, I

1024
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: have a mutual friend in the league that his buddies

1025
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: with Stefanski. I was like, I think that would actually

1026
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,919
Speaker 1: be a cool podcast interview. I don't do that many

1027
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: of them, but I would like to talk to Kevin Stefanski,

1028
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: ivy league guy, uh, former quarterback kind of you know,

1029
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: came up the hard way, didn't get a shot for

1030
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: a long time. I'm kind of fascinated by his plight.

1031
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: I don't honestly, I didn't know that much about him

1032
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: till last year, And like, yeah, I don't really have

1033
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: an answer for you. I just I don't know. It's

1034
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: it's a great question. Why weren't more because like listen,

1035
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: Eric Biannamy, everyone's been talking about him, right wh Kyle

1036
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: Shannahan got the job, Everyone had been talking about Kyle Shannon.

1037
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: When Adam Gates became the head coach, people have been

1038
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: talking about Adam Gates forever. I don't think most of

1039
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: us have heard about Kevin Stevanski till last year. Do

1040
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: you think the inability to make proper adjustments on the

1041
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: defensive side exposes Robert Sali as a flawed defensive coordinator.

1042
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: His wide nine scheme didn't work against mobile quarterbacks. While

1043
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 1: I understanding he had the blitz with Boston Ford out,

1044
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: I could not figure out why he doesn't have safety

1045
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: help for the new corner they promoted on Saturday. Also,

1046
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: what is wrong with the old line issue? I thought,

1047
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, the line should be better, but the entire

1048
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: old line now seems to be getting worse. Could you

1049
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: please provide me with the inside of what went wrong?

1050
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: I have no there's it's inexcusable that not help a

1051
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: practice squad player after he's getting burned play after play.

1052
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: I have no answer there. It's one of the most

1053
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: perplexing things I've watched as a football consumer for a

1054
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: good team in recent memory. I thought Robert sala and

1055
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. I saw my buddy Matt Mayoko, who covers

1056
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: the Niners, went on this rant on Twitter and was like,

1057
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: and I this is right. I blame Brian Allen, You can't.

1058
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: It's not the player's fault. The player is what he is.

1059
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: When you're a manager or when you're a coach and

1060
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: you put a guy in a position to do something,

1061
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: if you put a guy, a sales guy on your

1062
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: number one account and he has no experience, don't be

1063
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: shocked when he fails. They put a practice squad guy

1064
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: out there, and they left him out there over and

1065
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: over and over again, and he got destroyed. Like that's

1066
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,479
Speaker 1: on the coaching staff, not on the player. The player

1067
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: is not any good. It's not He's not gonna get

1068
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: miraculously better every snap, so you either yank him or

1069
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: get your asking the offensive line. I don't have an

1070
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 1: answer there. Trent Williams has really struggled as a couple

1071
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: of games. McGlinchey is not living up to be in

1072
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: a top ten pick, and they're just getting their ass

1073
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 1: kicked up front. I mean, they're getting dominated. Diehard Cowboys

1074
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: fan and what happened to Doc on Sunday was terrible.

1075
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: I agree. The practical part of me says the season

1076
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: is over for the Boys, but the optimistic, the optimist

1077
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: in me hopes that Nick Foles type story from the

1078
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: red rifle carrying the Cowboys of the playoffs with key

1079
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: players on defense hopefully coming back soon. How likely is

1080
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: it for this to happen? Also, McCarthy said they will

1081
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: definitely be signing another quarterback on Twitter, who do you

1082
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: think Jerry tries to bring in chances? Johnny Football? Sorry

1083
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: for the long question. I would say Johnny Football, if

1084
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: you followed him on Instagram or seeing something on Instagram,

1085
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,439
Speaker 1: I would say that is zero percent, zero percent, zero

1086
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: zero zero zero he is, He's more likely. And listen,

1087
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a I'm a cannabis stockholder and a

1088
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: recreational user, so don't judge me. But I mean, you

1089
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: watch him, You're like, yeah, Johnny gets after it. So

1090
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: I would say, uh, and it's not I'm not just weed,

1091
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: but Johnny no chance. I don't know who they'll sign

1092
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: as you listen to this. They probably signed a quarterback.

1093
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: I just think their offensive line is pretty banged up

1094
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: and Dak one thing Dad could do really well is

1095
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: move and when you can't move, and and he's a

1096
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: solid I mean, he was a better athlete when he's younger.

1097
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: He's probably average at best. Now it's gonna be very

1098
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: very difficult for him, but they do have star wide

1099
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: receivers and a Maori gallop zeke c d. If you're

1100
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, I don't think you could ask for

1101
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: many more weapons that the weapons are there. I would

1102
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: say foals like run Foles always came in at the

1103
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: end of the season besides this year, so I would

1104
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,479
Speaker 1: say that they could make the playoffs with Andy Dalton

1105
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. That could also mean they go seven

1106
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: and nine and make the playoffs. So thank God for

1107
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: the NFCS. Appreciate everyone listening. Have a great day, Uh

1108
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: smile the day and UH talk to you everyone soon. Audios,

1109
00:54:51,040 --> 00:55:02,640
