23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Here's what I wanted to do. I just recorded a

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: little something after the second round of the NFL Draft,

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: add some takes from some picks, some big picture thoughts,

26
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: had to react to the David Temper video as well.

27
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I also made a YouTube video earlier on Friday, and

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I will add the audio as well, basically talking about

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that happened after me and Colin

30
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: got done, I think after pick twenty four, so the

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Bills trade with the Chiefs, some of the later picks

32
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: in the first round, as well as just some overall

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: thoughts in terms of the top ten that obviously the

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: Falcons and Cousins. I had twenty four hours to think

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: about it, as well as I think Jim Harbaugh. So

36
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: that'll be on the back half of this podcast. But

37
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: we'll open up with some second round thoughts and the

38
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: day of Temper thing man, which is just just classic

39
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: rich guy who's just not used to people talking smack

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, other than that you guys know the drill.

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: A lot of content up on the YouTube page. Me

42
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: and Colin went for two hours. You can check out

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: that podcast. And yeah, so I don't know when the

44
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: next podcast will be. Probably won't do one for Sunday,

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: but definitely something on Monday. I think I might even

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: do another one with Colin on Sunday. So well, if

47
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: something Monday, for sure. Reacting once the draft is completely finished,

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: but hopefully everyone's enjoying it. And let's talk some football

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: before we dive into some overall thoughts on the second round.

61
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: just start with how it started. The Bills took a

62
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: lot of shit last night, and I kind of agreed,

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: not that they should have taken Xavier Worthy, though Xavier

64
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: Worthy works with powerful arm quarterbacks. The Bills have one

65
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: of those. So if the Thiefs like you, they're a

66
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: cold weather team, you should like that player. Kind of.

67
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. But I listen, I wouldn't

68
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: have traded with them, understand it. If they weren't gonna

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: take the guy. They move back. The Chiefs are gonna

70
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: take him anyway. Get the picks. Then they trade out

71
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: of thirty two and go to thirty three. I love

72
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: their pick. Keon Coleman, I'm very close with Derek Ray,

73
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: who is the general manager of Florida State, and he

74
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: was telling me last year, well before the season, like,

75
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: you don't understand how good this guy is, and then

76
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: immediately scores three touchdowns in their first game against LSU.

77
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: The knock on him is speed, but that's kind of

78
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: the knock on Romadonsay as well. Ball skills, elite physicality,

79
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: elite size. I just think the guy's a really, really

80
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: good player. I like that pick a lot gives you

81
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: some identity, some toughness. Now, like, there's gonna be a

82
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him, there's no way around it.

83
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: He's not essentially like their number one wide receiver right away.

84
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: But anytime you draft a guy high, you get rid

85
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: of your number one wide receiver. I would say anything

86
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: less than I don't know, sixty five catches immediately is

87
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: kind of a problem. Here's the good thing. They got

88
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: some tight ends, they have a good running back, and

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: they have a superstar quarterback. So if you're a wide receiver,

90
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: where do you want to go? Not where Malik Neighbors

91
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: went and he's running wide open and no one can

92
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: throw him the ball. It's the one position doesn't matter

93
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: how good you are. Larry Fitzgerald's one of the best

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers we've ever seen. For half of his career,

95
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: he played with nobody's it's hard to function. So he

96
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: gets to go to a place with a superstar in

97
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: his prime. It doesn't get any better, it really doesn't,

98
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: so it worked out pretty well for him. I think

99
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: he's an impact player. I think he's going to be

100
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: I don't know, like all pro level, but I think

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: He's going to be really good in the NFL. I

102
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: think his skills translate now getting open consistently part of

103
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive coordinator scheme him open, Josh Allen, throw

104
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: the fifty to fifty balls and let this dude go

105
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: make plays, especially down in the red zone. You know,

106
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh said it perfectly. That's why he kept beating

107
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: the drum. They're not taking a wide receiver. They're not

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: taking a wide receiver. And then what Jim Harbaugh say

109
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night, we view the offensive line as weapons,

110
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: but they do need wide receivers. And he took Lad McConkie.

111
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: Who is to me immediately their slot receiver, who's a

112
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: really good player and who's gonna be good. Jim Harbaugh

113
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: would much rather have what he views as the best

114
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the draft and a wide receiver in

115
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: the second round. Then it flipped around a top wide

116
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: receiver at pick five and then the eighth best offensive lineman.

117
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: If you haven't followed Jim Harbaugh's career like this is it.

118
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: He is not dependent on Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson.

119
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: He has won for a decade and a half now

120
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: without those type guys. When you look back at his

121
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: forty nine ers teams, like if you just want to

122
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: look at the NFL, they did not have very good wife.

123
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Their best receiver by a mile was Crabtree and one

124
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: year he Torey's achilles. They had like a thirty eight

125
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: year old Randy Moss. They drafted some wide receivers that

126
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: couldn't play, and he ran the ball, he threw the

127
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: ball to the tight end, and he played defense. That's

128
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: what Jim Harbaugh wants to do. He just won the

129
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: national title, dominated the season. How many of his wide

130
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: receivers have gone in the top sixty five picks. I've

131
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: seen a bunch of Michigan guys fly off the board.

132
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: That's not how he builds his team. So he likes

133
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: guys like Lad mcconkeye. He's not Andy Reid. That's not

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: how he views football. So the least shocking thing of

135
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: all is that he didn't take a wide receiver high.

136
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean you still don't need them on

137
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: your team. They value them. They get a guy from

138
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Georgia who's just really good. So I like the pick

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I was on with the Fantasy pros guys

140
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: when they drafted Polk from Washington, and my guy Thor

141
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: who's come on this podcast before and who's like their

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: draft analysts, had a really good point. This guy wasn't

143
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: even the second best wide receiver on his own team. Obviously,

144
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Romadonda was their number one, and when McMillan was healthy,

145
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: he was their number two guy. This is their third

146
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: best wide receiver. So you come out of the draft

147
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: with Drake May who I like a lot, though I

148
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: don't like him on the Patriots because their team's awful.

149
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: He's developmental guy, and their coaching staff to me, is

150
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: more than a question mark. And then you get a

151
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: guy that a lot of people didn't even have as

152
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: a top ten wide receiver, and again wasn't a top

153
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: three wide receiver on his own team. So I don't know, man.

154
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: I you know, Elliott Wolf came up in the UH

155
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: in the Packer organization. His father's obviously Ron hightweight speed.

156
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: This guy's not really a burner, He's not that big.

157
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't like anything about

158
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I like Drake may I theory, but I'm

159
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: betting against that operation. There is not a team like

160
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm betting against the Jet But there is a scenario

161
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: where the Jets are good. I see no scenario where

162
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: the Pats have any shot any and it's already ugly.

163
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: The Titans, this one was a head scratcher. Like their

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: first round pick, they take Latham, I think they would

165
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: have taken Neighbors, but obviously he goes off the board

166
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: at six. You get a physical offensive lineman, which they

167
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: were in desperate need of. They have Callahan as the

168
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: head coach and his dad is their offensive line coach,

169
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: and he's one of the best offensive line coaches in

170
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: the league. Here's the thing that doesn't make that much sense, though.

171
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: You take DeVante Sweat, who is a beast. He's like

172
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: six ' five, seven hundred pounds. I mean, he is

173
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: an enormous human. You are not gonna be able to

174
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: run the ball out him. No problem with the player.

175
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: He got a duy less than a month ago Sunday

176
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. His character right up

177
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: talking to teams is a little bit of a question mark.

178
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: So to draft a guy who just got a dewey

179
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: who's offen the field is a little bit of a

180
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: question mark. Just where he was supposed to go in

181
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: a place that I've been in Nashville twice for a

182
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: total of probably close to two weeks, maybe eleven twelve days.

183
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: I was drunk every day. It is one of the

184
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: major party cities in America. So you get a guy

185
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: that likes to party who it's not like he fell

186
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. You're like, Wow, it's value. We couldn't

187
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: pass him up. You took him right where he was

188
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: gonna go. I don't get that one. To me, that's

189
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: pretty fucking risky. It really is. It's one thing, and

190
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm all for taking guys that have some off the

191
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: field issues when they fall. That's called value. But to overpay,

192
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: because that's what you're doing for a guy that has

193
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: question marks at his where he was supposed to go

194
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: or maybe even a little higher. To me, he's pretty crazy,

195
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: especially for a first time head coach. The other thing

196
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: is if you are going to take some characteristics the

197
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlins, the Pete Carroll's, the Andes, like, Okay, those

198
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: guys have seen the thing or two. They've been around

199
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: the block. The Hardbob Brothers been coaching a long time,

200
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of gray hairs on their head. First

201
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: time head coach that to me's borderline nuts. That to

202
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: me is inviting a problem into your building when you're

203
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: trying to set the tone kind of start from scratch.

204
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: I don't get that one. Not opposed to the player,

205
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: but I don't like the risk there. Everything in life

206
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: is risk first reward, and I just I don't see

207
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: it here. I really don't because he's not a pass rusher,

208
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: he's a run stuffer. So I don't know, man, I

209
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: don't get it. Howie, who just is having a really

210
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: good draft obviously takes the top corner on the board yesterday.

211
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: He benefited from all the offensive players going, and then

212
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: he gets Cooper Dejen the white corner. I mean, I

213
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: don't think there's been a white corner since Jason Seahorn,

214
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: who is an elite athlete and who has return value.

215
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: He can play outside, he can play the slot. The

216
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: Eagles are desperate for a good nickel corner. It was

217
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: their downfall last year obviously, and he can play outside

218
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: as well. But Bradbury's done. I know he's technically still

219
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: on the team, he's not going to be he cannot

220
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: play anymore. Slagh is pretty risky because he's getting up

221
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: there in age and he's having knee problems. Though when

222
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: he's been healthy, he's been solid. They're gonna be you know,

223
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: the kid from Toledo, Mitchell, immediate starter, and I think

224
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: this guy has a chance to immediately start at Nickel.

225
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. This guy was a dynamic return

226
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: man as well. This new kickoff return setup brings in

227
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: to play guys like this because you're not gonna put

228
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Saquon back there. Their two wide receivers aren't really players

229
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: like that, right, Like if you think about some wide

230
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: receivers that could do it, like Deebo Samuel could one

231
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: and he will, I'm sure be a kickoff return guy.

232
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: I think Degene immediately becomes like this modern day kickoff return.

233
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: You put him in that spot or at least can

234
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: try it out, so he brings value at multiple spots.

235
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: Versatile player. That's a big thing that the Eagles are

236
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: big on versatility now their success on defense. Obviously their

237
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: corner play needs to improve, but it's gonna come down

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: to the d lineman. You know, they drafted Jordan Davis

239
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: and Jalen Carter really really high, and Jalen had flashes

240
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: last year of just elite play they're gonna need the

241
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: guy to be a pro bowler and ideally become like

242
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: an all pro it hinges on him, and then Jordan

243
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Davis just has to be solid. If those guys are good,

244
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: we know they got enough edge rushers. The corners will

245
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: look a lot better, especially these young corners because a

246
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: lot of every team he played now in the NFL.

247
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Who's the team they play first Week one in Brazil?

248
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: The Packers? What do they have about eight million young

249
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers? A couple of them can fly, So they're

250
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna need that defensive line to step up a lot.

251
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: It's going to be talked about the corners and how

252
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: that's why, how he's drafting these guys. But to me,

253
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: their success of turning around this thing. Obviously you ad

254
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: Vict Fangio, the d lineman. You invest in two top

255
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: fifteen picks. Jordan Davis has battled with weight issues. I

256
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: got news for you. Big kind of chubby, fat guys

257
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL deal with weight issues. It's hard, it

258
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: is difficult. It's gonna be an issue for Sweat with

259
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: the Titans when you weigh three hundred and forty three

260
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: hundred fifty pounds. Conditioning is an issue. It's hard. Big

261
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: people struggle with their weight. Welcome to society. You know

262
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: what's happened forever with centers in the NBA. It's no

263
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: different than certain defensive tackles or offensive linemen. It's hard

264
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: because you're naturally eating a lot to just maintain your weight.

265
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: So that's something they got to stay on that guy.

266
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: And they just got to stay on Jalen to stay

267
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow, focused and kick ass and

268
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: take names. One thing I always respect about offensive coaches

269
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: is when they value defense. It's one thing I've said

270
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,359
Speaker 1: about Kyle Shanahan for a long time. He values physicality

271
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: and defense. He will invest his resources on that side

272
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: of the ball. Well, Sean McVay lose Aaron Donald, who

273
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know besides like Marshall fall because one of

274
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the greatest players in the history of the franchise. There

275
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: is no replacing that. There's nothing you can do when

276
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady retires or Aaron Donald retires, right, or

277
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: if Travis Kelce retires, you just I'm not saying he's

278
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: not he's retiring, or Jason Kelsey is a better example

279
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: like that, you can't replace him. There's gonna be a

280
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: drop off, right, but you do need to attempt with

281
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: multiple bodies. What did they do last night? Verse, power rusher,

282
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: edge guy? What do they do today? Defensive tackle? Florida State.

283
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: So they've doubled down on the defensive line position after

284
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: losing Aaron Donald. One thing we don't talk enough about

285
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald is the versatility he had, especially in

286
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: his younger years. You could kind of move him around,

287
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: glide him up over the center. I've seen him countless

288
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: times against the forty nine ers line him up over

289
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: the tackle. He had some JJ Watt characteristics there. So

290
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: you keep doubling down on this position, and if they

291
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: hit on these guys, the Rams are gonna be good.

292
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw how good they were playing at

293
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: the end of the year. If Stafford is healthy, I mean,

294
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: this is a team I think we compete in the

295
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: NFC to win the entire thing. I'm not saying the

296
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, beat the Chiefs. I'm just saying to compete

297
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: with the forty nine Ers, the Lions, the Packers, you know,

298
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: to win the NFC. Hell, they went toe to toe

299
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: with the Lions on the road this year. So really

300
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: like just the way the rams think about football because

301
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: it'd be easy to like offense. Offense, sexy offense. That's

302
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: what a lot of coaches do. They like calling plays.

303
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: It's Lincoln Riley's downfall. He's obsessed with offense. It's kind

304
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: of just the way he coaches say this. For Sean McVay,

305
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: his teams are tough and he just added two tough,

306
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: physical guys at the point of attack because it's the

307
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: one place in football that is still somewhat played like

308
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies and eighties. It is a violent game there,

309
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: and he's added two violent players. The Colts, you know,

310
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk last night if they would

311
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: take a wide receiver. They ended up going with lat Too.

312
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I watched them of Chris Ballard's press conference. He said

313
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: lat Too was their number one defensive player on the board.

314
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: And he's excellent. I mean, he's he's the best pure

315
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: pass rusher in the in this draft for sure. The

316
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: only question is the neck. And then they got a

317
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: guy that you know fell in the draft in Mitchell

318
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: from Texas who is a freak athlete and he's big.

319
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: He's six to two, he ran a four to three five.

320
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: He vertical jumped almost forty inches. He had eleven touchdowns

321
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, this guy is a very, very

322
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: talented player, rap Sheet said after they drafted him. The

323
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: reason he was there, I think pick forty four to

324
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: forty five. His visits have been an abomination. Rap Sheet said.

325
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: Some of his visits, he like wasn't even paying attention

326
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: or listening and seemed disinterested, which is weird. And I

327
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: get it, young, immature, We've all been there, but you

328
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: would think, on like a job interview, especially with head

329
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: coaches and coordinators, even if you're not the most focused guy,

330
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: you'd fake it. You'd kind of you know, when I

331
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: worked with the Eagles, we'd call them a con but

332
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: you'd at least try. And there's a reason the guy

333
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: with this talent playing at that program. I mean, Hello's

334
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: teammate got a fucking DUI fifteen twenty days ago. It

335
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: got drafted ahead of him. He weigh three hundred and

336
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: seventy pounds. You get a guy that sixty two runs

337
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: a four to three five was that productive, goes gets

338
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: at that position, gets drafted after him, and tells you

339
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: like these visits. The NFL is a lot like high

340
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: school rumors. Just fly. Everyone knows each other, everyone talks

341
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: the negativity, can snowball down a hill like an avalanche.

342
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: And what's weird about the Colts They value character a lot.

343
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean that they don't mess around with weird dudes, right,

344
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: think about the core of their team. Who have they

345
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: traded for a couple of years, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers,

346
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner's like a man of the year. Michael Pittman.

347
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: I think he was married, like either in college or

348
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: right when he got out of college. Very serious cat.

349
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: Even Anthony Richardson's like people love the character. Quentin Nelson,

350
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: like Chris Ballard has not been fishing at the pier

351
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: of these character guys. And this is a little bit

352
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: off the beaten path. But here's the thing. I had

353
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: a radio show a long time ago now and we

354
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: interviewed Moose Johnson and he said something that I'll never forget.

355
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: He said, and he played on those great Cowboys teams

356
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: that won three Super Bowls in four years. He said,

357
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: to build a great team, and most of the great

358
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: teams in the history of the league have had this.

359
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: You need a team, how do you say it? I'm

360
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna screw it up. Now you need a team full

361
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: of character. I'm blanking out now, I got so many

362
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: names running through me. But basically, of like, you need

363
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: the majority of your guys to be That was a

364
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: complete butcher job. On my fault, My bad, my bad,

365
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I set that up very very poorly. But basically like,

366
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: you're inevitably gonna get some character guys, and your character

367
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to play well. And when you

368
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: hit on the character guys that play well, you're in

369
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: good shape. When your character guys aren't playing as well,

370
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: you got a major problem. And think about some of

371
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: those Cowboys teams. They had some wild shouts. They were

372
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Hall of famers. So this is the first time he's

373
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of gone out. God, I put you that. That's

374
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: I should I should have wrote it down before I

375
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: hopped on. We had a lot going on, but uh,

376
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: there's a little this is a little shocked. Not gonna

377
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: lie Other than that, Chiefs took a project at offensive tackle,

378
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: really talented guy from BYU. Ravens took the other tackle

379
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: from Washington like that guy. Niners took a corner from

380
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: Florida State. Little undersize but good athlete played well against

381
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: LSU it's hard. You know. The hard part about especially

382
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: once we get in the third and fourth round, and

383
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: I've gone to camps for so many years, is that

384
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: you get so excited for all the draft picks and

385
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, like undrafted free agents will

386
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: be making more place in them. So it's the hard

387
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: part about the drafts. It's hard not to get excited

388
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: when guys are picked, but we know with every round

389
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: that happens, the percentage chance goes lower and lower in

390
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, the chances of these guys becoming

391
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: impact players, hell starters, hell making the team. I want

392
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: to end on this really quick. The Tepper video is

393
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: going viral of the local restaurant putting a sign out

394
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: in front that said basically, let the GM and coach

395
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: pick the players, which essentially shot at David Tepper like

396
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: stay out of the way, so stop getting so involved.

397
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: He walked in, which looked like his right hand man,

398
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: and talked to the people at the front desk that

399
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: I assumed one of the guys owns the restaurant, and

400
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: he took the guy's hat off and they had him

401
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: on the camera essentially saying like, did you guys put

402
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: that out there and everyone's you know, making fun of

403
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: him and talking about him like, bro, you're a clown.

404
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about David Tepper. For however many decades

405
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: now he has been insanely rich, people didn't talk shit

406
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: about him, at least publicly, because if you did and

407
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: you were in his industry, he would crush you. And

408
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: that's what you know, tycoons do in business. There's no

409
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: physical violence in business. Right at his level, there's just

410
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: like I'm going to take you out, I'm gonna ruin you,

411
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the street. I'm gonna make

412
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: your kids beg me to give your father a job.

413
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: It's the cut throat nature of capitalism. I love elements

414
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: of it. And at the highest level in which Temper's at,

415
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: he destroys people in his way. People aren't outspokenly at

416
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: his level. Before he owned this team, he's not used

417
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: to this. Here's the problem. Fans don't give a shit

418
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: how much money you have or how successful you've been.

419
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: They don't care. His ability to trade stocks and run

420
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: hedge funds and do everything he can do to make

421
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: all this money means nothing to them. All they want

422
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: to do is turn on their television on Sunday and

423
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: see a good team and see functional players. They've seen

424
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: them before. They went to a Super Bowl seven eight

425
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: years ago. They've had an MVP, they've had a high

426
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: end Pro Bowl players at all sorts of positions. If

427
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: you're like thirty five years old as a Panther fan

428
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: or forty years old, you've seen a lot of good players.

429
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: You know what good teams look like, and you know

430
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: what bad teams look like. And here's what you know.

431
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: Since David Temper has taken over, they've been a fucking disaster.

432
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: The trade for Bryce Young, even if Caleb is a bust,

433
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: is one of the worst trades of all time, is

434
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: one of the worst trades of all time. If Caleb

435
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: is good, it is easily you could argue the worst

436
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: trade of all time. He's gotten rid of Christian McCaffrey,

437
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: who the forty nine ers just went to overtime in

438
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He's arguably their best player. I mean,

439
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: he just gets rid of it. He doesn't feel like

440
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing, and it'd be one thing,

441
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: it's like, well he hired the wrong guys. There are

442
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: all these articles coming out and everyone's confirming it that

443
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: he's the one doing it. So it's like, hey, Dave,

444
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: we know you're super successful and used to destroying people

445
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: in your way, which is what big time business people do,

446
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 1: but no one cares about that anymore. Just stay out

447
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: of the fucking way and let people you hire attempt

448
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: to build a football team. You need to stop telling

449
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator what plays he should run. So I

450
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: think he's all thrown up. He's never had this happen

451
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: to him, at least for a long long time. But

452
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: this is justified because the fans like, don't care how

453
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: many billions you have in your pocket. They just want

454
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: a team that can compete to win the goddamn division.

455
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: And I think he's really thrown off. He's really rattled,

456
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: and he's not handling it well. And I think the NFL, like,

457
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, there was the visual last year of him

458
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: throwing the cocktail or the water or whatever he was

459
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: drinking all over the guy's face, and then you have

460
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: this in the restaurant, like you know, the media might

461
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: tell you Roger is an idiot. Rogers running the biggest

462
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: league in America by a country mile, running circles around everyone.

463
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: Last night, the NBA had two of the marquee franchises,

464
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Lakers, on and not a soul

465
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: watch them. Roger is dominating right now, and I'll promise

466
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: you this Roger can't be happy. Here's the other thing.

467
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: Roger's technically not the boss. The owners are. It's kind

468
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: of embarrassing for the other owners. What do they talk

469
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: about a lot in football? The shield, the shield, the shield,

470
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: the brand, the brand, the brand, the league, the league,

471
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: the league. And this guy isn't a league full of

472
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: other rich guys. Like everyone talks shit about owners. Welcome

473
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: to the business, Like this is part of the deal.

474
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: You gotta take it. You can talk shit, you know,

475
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: behind closed doors, but you can't be doing this. You

476
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: are currently an embarrassment to our operation. It was thriving

477
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: before you got here, and if you disappeared tomorrow, no

478
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: one would notice. Someone like has to be Like if

479
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: I was Roger, I'd find him, and finding him money

480
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything I'd take away, like next year second

481
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: round pick, Like this is not okay. You can't act

482
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: like this to the consumer. The reason the NFL has

483
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: lapped everybody is because of us, you and me, Because

484
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: we watch at a large, large quantity. Last night shattered

485
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: records for the NFL Draft in terms of ratings and

486
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: the amount of people that watched. Hundreds of thousands of

487
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: people showed up to Cold Detroit. That is the base

488
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: of the league, that is where the money comes from.

489
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: And he's treating these people on camera awful. It just

490
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: can't fly. And to me, there's no fine. Fine five

491
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: million dollars, that's like me handing over a twenty. You

492
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: gotta hit him where it's hurt. Hit him where it hurts,

493
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: and that's the team. I don't know what you do,

494
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: but finding him money is not doing anything to this

495
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: guy because he's embarrassing the league. I understand why he's

496
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: acting like this, he's not used to it, but it's

497
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: an awful look and someone has to get controlled. But

498
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Who in his life can be like

499
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, Dave, I don't know if you should do that.

500
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: That's not a good idea. There's not a soul. The

501
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: only people the other owners in Roger. But man, if

502
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: I was a Panther fan, keep talking that, you know what,

503
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: because this guy I had a lot of respect for

504
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: him as just you know a little stock trader made

505
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: a little money, lost a little money. This guy that

506
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: was before we owned the team. This has been a

507
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: clown show and we've seen a lot of owners get

508
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: made fun of at really really high levels. Hell, when

509
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: I was around the Bay Area a lot, we destroyed

510
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Jed York when he fired hardball. Mark Davis got crushed

511
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: for years. It's part of the business you're in, man.

512
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you lose and do dumb things.

513
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: When you win, everyone loves you like it's very fickle.

514
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: And right now, your team, your team was unwatchable last year.

515
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: I mean your team was so bad it was unwatchable.

516
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: I can watch any football game when the Panthers were on,

517
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: I would change the channel or flip it to another game.

518
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: They were that bad. And anyone listening, if you're a

519
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: fan of the NFC South or a Panther fan, you

520
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: know I'm right. And it starts with this guy. I've

521
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: known coaches that have been part of his opera. It's

522
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: insanity what's going on there. So these fans aren't just

523
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: making this up, Like this isn't just pulled out of there,

524
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: you know what, Like this is justified and he's handling

525
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: it like a ten year old, you know, when he's

526
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: sixty years old, because he's not used to being told this.

527
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: And this is why owning a team, while it's very

528
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: glamorous and very profitable, if you have thin skin, man,

529
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long, long career if your team sucks. Okay,

530
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: let's dive into some of my quick thoughts that I

531
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: did earlier on Friday of the latter part of the

532
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: first round, and a couple just overarching takes from the

533
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: top ten as well. Okay, last night, the me and

534
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Colin ended, I think it picked twenty four and it

535
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: was like eight to fifteen where I was. So I

536
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: went out, had dinner with my beautiful lady and we

537
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: have the draft on and all of a sudden it

538
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: gets crazy. Now. The draft, unlike the season, is you

539
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: would never trade, like in the middle of the season,

540
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Chiefs would never trade player players

541
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: to each other. Right, you would never trade teams players

542
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: in your division. That just doesn't really happen. The draft's

543
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: a little unique. Andy Reid when he was a coach

544
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs and Belichick when he was a coach

545
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: of the Patriots traded every single year. The Eagles several

546
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: years ago when they got Davonte Smith, remember jumped if

547
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, The Giants traded with the Cowboys. I

548
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: mean the Eagles and the Cowboys are I mean one

549
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: of the biggest rivalries in the league. So the drafts

550
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 1: a little unique. I do think the Bills when you

551
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: have not got over the hump, not because your quarterback

552
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: has n't been a star. He has played the Chiefs

553
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: as well as anybody in the playoffs. I don't know,

554
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: if you can do business with them and they make

555
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: the trade. You don't need to be mel kiper Junior

556
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: or Mike Mayock to know they're getting Xavier Worthy, who

557
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm texting the Chiefs war room. They're like speed Kills,

558
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: got a little DeShawn Jackson. I mean they're really really

559
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: excited something they specifically needed. Now, when you look at

560
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: the draft picks, I don't know if Xavier Worthy was

561
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna be picked. The Ravens weren't gonna pick them. They

562
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: just picked Za Flowers last year, the forty nine ers.

563
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't really fit their style. They would have taken

564
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: Ricky Piersoll over Xavier Worthy. Even if Worthy is a

565
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: better prospect just because of the team fit. I guess

566
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in theory, but the Cowboys like taking lignment

567
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: and they did, and that's a I like that pick.

568
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys built the trenches Parsons last year, Tyler Smith this

569
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: year guiding like that's I have never had any issues

570
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: with anyone taking offensive or defensive alignment. I just think

571
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: if you're the Bills, like the Chiefs might have got

572
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: him anyway, if they just said it, he might have

573
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: just fallen into their lap. I just have a hard

574
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: time now. Maybe you can go. If you're Sean McDermott

575
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean, we think when we were looking at

576
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: how the draft was gonna fall, that they would have

577
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: got him no matter what, so we might as well

578
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: accumulate more picks. I just that one's hard to stomach. Now.

579
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: The reactions of craziness, like the reaction on Draft Dyke,

580
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: does not indicate what's gonna happen in the season. I've

581
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: said over and over, I'm picking the Bills to win

582
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: that division. They keep winning it. I don't give a

583
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: shit who's on their roster as long as they have

584
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: that quarterback. I'm surely not betting on to to win

585
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: the division and Aaron Rodgers is forty years old coming

586
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: off an Achilles on a team full of guys with

587
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: bad hamstrings and bad ankles. But that one's tough. I

588
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: understand if I'm a Bills fan or even just people

589
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: reacting like, I don't think you can do that. I

590
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: don't think you can do deal with that team who

591
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: constantly beat you in the playoffs. They took care of

592
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: you forever at Arrowhead, then you finally get them at

593
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: home and they fucking break your hearts. That one's tough.

594
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: And like I said, the Chiefs might have got him

595
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: anyway if they had just sat there, But now we

596
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: know they got him. And I just think I was

597
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: texting with a wide receiver coach, a good buddy who

598
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: knows that team well, and he's like, if Marquis Brown

599
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: can just give him something with this guy, watch out.

600
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: We don't how to get their defenses this thing. The

601
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a defensive team. Now they are a defensive

602
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: team that has the best coach and has the best

603
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: quarterback who's fucking beating these guys. They feel a little

604
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: bit like just it just rolling like the Patriots in

605
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: the middle of the dynasty. But good luck, guys, godspeed.

606
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: Now it's football. You playing a lot of tight games.

607
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: They're not always gonna win all these playoff games and

608
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. They're gonna get knocked out like

609
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: they did a couple of years ago against Burrow. But

610
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: if you're them and the night ended that you landed

611
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy and the reason you did is because the

612
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills traded you the pick. Holy I bet that

613
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: one was. That one was shocking, It really was. What

614
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: was not shocking is this And by the time you're

615
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: watching this, maybe we'll have a trade. You know, Deebo, Samuel,

616
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, both of them are on the trade block.

617
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: If you could choose for the next five years, which

618
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: guy would you keep, even factoring in the money. And

619
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't love paying Brandon Ayuke thirty million, but part

620
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: of it is because I'm paying Debo over twenty now

621
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: if you trade Debo, which I think if they had

622
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: a do over on that one, they were tough. They

623
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: were in a tough spot. They had to pay him.

624
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: But Deebo got throttled, and I mean throttled, and I

625
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: love him. I have a ton of respect for the

626
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: way he plays Deebo. Samuel plays football that would have

627
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: translated in the sixties, the seventies, in the eighties. He

628
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: is a throwback. He's not a great route runner, and

629
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: if you have good DBS, he struggles to get open.

630
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: He's he really thrives behind the line of scrimmage. So

631
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: these rumors that they might trade him to Night actually

632
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: makes some sense. And when they took the wide receiver

633
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: Ricky Piersoll, who I immediately texts around him like he's

634
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: a first round pick. A couple people text me back

635
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: like he's a top fifty pick. Little rich, but totally

636
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: get it. And he's a great scheme fit. They have

637
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: specific type players, Andy Reid Xavier Worthy makes sense. Kyle

638
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: Shanahan likes tough guys. He's not as obsessed with speed demons.

639
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: He wants you to block, he wants you to break tackles.

640
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: He wants you to go over the middle and run

641
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: crossing routes, and that's what this guy does. But the

642
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: moment you draft that guy, you're like, someone's in trouble.

643
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: We know this IU contract negotiation is up in the air.

644
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: And to me, debo, you know, if you could trade

645
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: him right now for a pick somewhere between thirty five

646
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: and forty, like, he's probably gone. He's probably gone. And

647
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: that's what you got to do. In the NFL. You

648
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: gotta make tough decisions. The Chiefs did it a couple

649
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: of years ago with Tyreek Hill, who's one of the

650
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: greatest wide receivers of all time. Belichick did it with

651
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: like ten guys. This is not fantasy football. You can't

652
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: just keep everybody. You gotta make tough decisions. And as

653
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: you start factoring in, they got a lot of high

654
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: priced players, so you gotta figure out big picture how

655
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: to build this thing. I would imagine they would have

656
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: liked to trade them before tonight, but that was It

657
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a shocking pick. But once you make this election,

658
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear what they're gonna do. Someone's in trouble.

659
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: There is an odd man out. They can say whatever

660
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: they want, and their whole press conference is it wasn't

661
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: even really about the player. It was like, well, what

662
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: are you doing? Brandon Ayuk is gonna get traded? Can

663
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: you guys guarantee Debo's not gonna get traded? You got

664
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: John Lynch reading off text messages from Brandon Aiyuk on

665
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: a group text with him and Kyle, who basically said,

666
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: not gonna lie fire pick. So you know the Cowboys

667
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: took an offensive line. Yeah, it makes sense right that

668
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens take a hard hitting corner, makes sense fits them.

669
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers take a wide receiver who fits. But

670
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: you're like, you already got Debo and Ayuk? Who if

671
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: you sign Ayuk twenty eight million dollars, which I don't

672
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: think they want to do, but it's kind of the

673
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: going rate, and they like Ayuk moving forward more than

674
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. The problem with Deebo Samuel, he's under contract,

675
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: so it's like, can they get rid of them? The

676
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: cap implications that this stuff, there's a lot of moving parts,

677
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: So I just that one was like, damn these guys,

678
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: and they've done it before. They traded to Forrest Buckner,

679
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: who was the team captain and one of the best

680
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: players on the team. Now they got the thirteenth overall pick,

681
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: but it was a pretty cutthroat move, even though it

682
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: was the right move. But that's the hard part about

683
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: this game. This is not the NBA. It's like, woll

684
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: we just got to max everybody keep the ball. This

685
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: is like fuck. You gotta make tough decisions with guys

686
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: that you've won big with, guys that you know you

687
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: can go to war with, not in some random game

688
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: in September. A lot of guys play well in that.

689
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm talking in mid January on the road in Green

690
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: Bay when it's freezing fucking cold. I've seen it. You

691
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: hand the ball to Deebo Samuel and he slams it

692
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: down their throat. And that's what makes him kind of

693
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: a unique player. But the problem is he's not a

694
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: great route runner, and they've been able to get around it.

695
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: But now that they got McCaffrey, they don't need him

696
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: as much, so he's he's really more the odd man

697
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: out than Ayuk. The problem with Ayuk is paying twenty

698
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: eight twenty nine million dollars and he's a fantastic player

699
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: for a guy that's probably gonna catch eighty balls, that's

700
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: a tough return on investment, right. I got no problem

701
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: paying Saint Brown thirty million dollars a year. He catches

702
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: me one hundred and ten balls, one hundred and fifteen balls,

703
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty passes. I have a hard time

704
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: giving someone twenty eight twenty nine million dollars when they

705
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: only catch I mean, brand A Yuck's never broke eighty catches.

706
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: It's not his fault. But that's the way the forty

707
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: nine ers play. And you're not gonna change all of

708
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: a sudden. You're not gonna look down and Kyle's gonna

709
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: play like Mike Leach. It's not really his style. I

710
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: would say the least shocking thing of the first round.

711
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: I've said it forever, and I missed on a lot

712
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: of my mock draft picks, but the one thing I

713
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: knew from the jump was Jim Harbaugh. He was never, ever,

714
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: ever taking a wide receiver at pick five. I don't

715
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: give a shit if his wide receiver room was me, you,

716
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: and three other random guys off the street. He's one

717
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: with that type room before. He wants to play physical football, defense,

718
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: running game, offensive line. I saw his press conference last night.

719
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: He's like, we need Everyone kept saying we need offensive weapons.

720
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: I view o lineman as weapons. I view them as

721
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: the tip of the spear. That's the way fundamentally he

722
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: views football. He is a throwback. Jim Harbaugh was born

723
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: to actually coach in the eighties against Buddy Ryan, against

724
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: Mike Ditka against Bill Walsh, against Buddy Ryan, he would

725
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: have Joe Gibbs. He would have thrived in that era,

726
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: but he plays in this era. So a lot of

727
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: people think wide receivers just draft wide receivers. And I

728
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: like wide receivers as much as the next guy, but

729
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: I've seen it forever. So we all have the Cowboys.

730
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's average, but he, for the most part, had

731
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: a really good offensive line. Jim Harbaugh has won a

732
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 1: ton of games with guys name not named Andrew Locke.

733
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: Why because of the front five guys. He just had

734
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: the best offensive line in the country for two years

735
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: running and dominated Ryan Day. Honestly, Ryan, the best thing

736
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: that ever happened to Ryan Day is Jim Harbaugh went

737
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: to the Chargers because he would have ended his Ohio

738
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: State career. Ryan Day was never ever, ever beating Jim

739
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: Harbaugh again. It was never gonna happen because on his

740
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: best day, He's not as good as Jim Harbaugh on

741
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: an average day. It's why Jim said that you're born

742
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: on third base, You're not as good as me, and

743
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: I know it because fundamentally, the way I play football,

744
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: you can't hang with me. And Jim Harbaugh is different

745
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: than a lot of these NFL teams that are like

746
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: spread it out, throw it around. It's not the way

747
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: he plays. It's just not. Now it's a little complicated.

748
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: He takes a guy that's only played left tackle. He

749
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: already has a left tackle. Now you move Slater to

750
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: right tackle? Do you try to move of? There are

751
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: some moving parts there, But philosophically, he was always gonna

752
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: do this. Even if Marvin Harrison had been there, he

753
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: would not have taken Marvin Harrison over his top graded

754
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. He didn't do that at Stanford. He didn't

755
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: do that when he played with the forty nine ers.

756
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: He never did that at Michigan. It doesn't mean he

757
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: doesn't value wide receivers, but he does not value them

758
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: more than offensive linemen. And that shit translates over the

759
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: long haul, the big story of the night, and me

760
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: and Colin reacted to it, and I've had a little

761
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: while to let it sink in. I listened to Collins

762
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: take this morning, which I knew he would go against

763
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: the grain and his ultimate and it thought was like,

764
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: why would you not want to have insurance on a

765
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: thirty six year old guy? With a bat achilles. You're

766
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: crushing them for having too much talent at the quarterback position.

767
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: And I understand that. I will. I will never have

768
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: an issue with a team being aggressive at the quarterback position.

769
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: My issue is with this setup. If you had told

770
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: me Drake may had been there and they had taken him,

771
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: I'd be like that. I get it, this guy needs

772
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: a little time sit behind Cousins. But Michael Pennix is

773
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: not a developmental player. He is a plug and play player.

774
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: He's twenty four years old, he's been starting for half

775
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: a decade. He is ready to roll. And the only

776
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: way you improve at anything I come from cal Paly.

777
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: We learn by doing, and I think that's the way

778
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: most people improve at their craft. Whether you sell cars,

779
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: whether you're a doctor, whether you're a podcaster, or whether

780
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback. There is, you know, something to be

781
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: said about mental reps. I agree with that. There is

782
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 1: nothing like experience and the like. There's a big jump

783
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: between college and the NFL. And now Michael Pennix is

784
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: not gonna play in theory for a couple of years.

785
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: Here's the problem and here's the risk. Because I don't

786
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: think they really had a plan. They just over the

787
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: course of the last month, once Cousins was on the team,

788
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: they fell in love with this guy. I understand it.

789
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: That's part of the draft, you part of football, and

790
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: this is what Belichick was so good at for twenty years,

791
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: locker room dynamics. You pay Cousins all this money because

792
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: you're desperate for a quarterback, totally understand. Then you parade

793
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: him around the city. He's going to Falcons game or

794
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: he's going to Braves games. He's all I've seen a

795
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: NonStop on my social media feed at different events. Kirk

796
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: Cousins has turned into kind of a money mercenary. He'll

797
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: just go whoever pays him the most. That's what he

798
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: did with Minnesota. That's why he's in Atlanta. Whoever's offering him.

799
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: He's kind of got Kevin Durant. Well, you're equity as

800
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: you start bouncing around, diminishes over time. Not with the

801
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: amount of money I'm paying you, but what I think

802
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: about you. You're just here to do a job, and

803
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: if you struggle with that job, audios see you cyon R.

804
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: So now you got Kirk Cousins, who the Atlanta Falcons

805
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: fan base has zero equity with if he's good, great,

806
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: but if he's not put in Michael Pennix, you'd be like, well,

807
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: the fans aren't in control. Well, I think you underestimate

808
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: the power of the consumer slash the fan base, cause

809
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, the guy who listens to the fans, I e.

810
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: Listens to the radio, listens to the podcast, reads all

811
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: of the articles. Coaches can easily say not reading it,

812
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: not consuming it. Half of them, ninety percent of them

813
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: are lying. But still gms love to say it. You

814
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: never really says that and definitely is doing it the owner.

815
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: So if you're the owner and you're watching this guy struggle,

816
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm just laying out the scenario in which starts slow.

817
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to fucking watch Michael Pennix or excuse me.

818
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins said the same thing about Russell Wilson. Now,

819
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: the difference is they're paying Russell Wilson a million dollars

820
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. So if he sucks, let's see what Justin

821
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Fields has. Well, what if you start two and four,

822
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: you lose a couple of tight games and he looks

823
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: a little rusty the fan base who kind of represents

824
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: the owner, like, let's see what this twenty four year old,

825
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: ready made prospect can do. Then you got problems because

826
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: financially you're so indebted to cousins on your salary cap,

827
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: given how much guaranteed money you got, it could just

828
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: get weird. Nicka could just get weird fast. I understand

829
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: you would rather have more talent in your quarterback room

830
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: than not. And he's coming off a torn Achilles and

831
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: he's thirty six years old. He's never moved great, and

832
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: I get it, but things can get weird. Things can

833
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: get weird fast when you're in these scenarios. Jordan Love

834
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: was a developmental quarterback. There wasn't a soul who said, yeah,

835
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: maybe Jordan Love's better than Aaron Rodgers three years ago.

836
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: We all knew that was impossible. It was not possible.

837
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Love maybe better than him now five years later,

838
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: like there's a chance within six months. Like Michael Pennox

839
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: and her cousins are very similar. So the rope on

840
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: this for cousins to me is very small, very small,

841
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: and things get weird fast. If it was Mike Tomlin

842
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: or John Harbod like, you know, they can handle this situation.

843
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: Renny Morris is essentially a first time head coach Terry Fautino,

844
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: who knows that that fucking guy knows what he's doing,

845
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: and the organization's kind of out of whack. It just

846
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: is so I just think I understand why they did it.

847
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: I get wanted to have a good quarterback room, but

848
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: that dynamics of your team start with that position. Why

849
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: did the forty nine ers get rid of Trey Lance immediately?

850
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: Once Perty kind of establish himself. I can't have you

851
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: around messing with my locker room dynamics. Peace see you.

852
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: Once they drafted Mac Jones, they cut Cam Newton. Like

853
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix is a really really famous established college player,

854
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: not like Drake Bay needs you need to work on it,

855
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: like ready to go. Michael Pennix was a guy you

856
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: draft to start immediately. He was not some project. And

857
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: I hear a lot of people, well if you had

858
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: drafted him at pick twenty eight, I would understand stood it. Yeah,

859
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: same scenario is gonna happen. This guy was not some

860
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: work in progress. He was ready to roll. Now, the

861
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins we saw before he got hurt was a

862
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: top seven to eight quarterback in the NFL. The problem

863
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: is he had a major injury. So I just I

864
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: think this guy, this thing could get weird, and it

865
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: could get weird fast. Same thing could happen in Pittsburgh.

866
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: But financially, you're not obligated to anybody. This one, you

867
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: kind of are. He's got a no trade clause. His agent,

868
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: who I know, clearly put out a statement he wasn't

869
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: super happy, like, what are we doing? Why aren't we

870
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: improving the team? Which, listen, when you go full mercenary,

871
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: you don't get to dictate the terms. You ain't, Tom Brady.

872
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: No one gives a fuck about what you think. Seriously,

873
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they just prove they do not care. So

874
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: buckle up for this one. The volume
