1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we

2
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: doing my people? Hopefully everyone's doing well, having a great day.

3
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: We got a big football game the night. We had

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: an excellent game last week the Bengals and the Ravens.

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: This week there's even more in the line because unlike

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals, both these two teams have good records. So

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: we got the Eagles seven and two against the Kamis

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: that are seven and three. Nick Sirianni's got a squad,

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: they're hot, and they've won five straight games. The offense

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: last couple of games have been rolling, and the Commanders

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: it's a big moment. You know, they don't have as

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: much pressure on them as obviously the Eagles, giving the

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: expectations coming into the season, but you win this, the

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: division is on like Donkey Kong between the two teams.

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: If they lose this, I think it's fair to say

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles are probably gonna cruise to winning the East.

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: And honestly, at eight and two, they'd be in a

18
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: great position to just be in the mix for the

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: number one seed. So it shows you a lot and change.

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: We will dive into that game. We'll also fire around

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: the NFL. We had Anthony Richson's back. JJ McCarthy you

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: know needed another surgery. The forty nine ers locked up

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Diamado or Lenor to a long contract, and some other

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: football stuff as well as the Middlecoff mailbag at John

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Middlecoff at John Middlecoff as the Instagram fire in those dms.

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Stucky will be on tomorrow, so if you want to

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: be in the weekend mail bag, we usually put that

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: out on Saturday. Fire into those dms just my Instagram

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: and we'll have another big mail bag out on Saturday

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: morning as well. A lot of content, so a lot

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: of stuff on YouTube, a bunch of stuff this week

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: on The Bears obviously have had a tumultuous little stretch.

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: Keen Allen had a quote today about Shane Walldro and

34
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: was like, hey, two nice, I'm a guy, so I

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: don't think anyone's losing sleep there, But I don't know

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: if the Bears are gonna look much different. We'll dive

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: in with stuck you for Friday show about how we're

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna gamble against them, the Jets, and there's some teams

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: that feel like auto bets against but I don't know

40
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: if there's an interim OC boost like there is an

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: interim coach, but make sure you subscribe to the podcast

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: if you listen on to Collins feed. Other than that,

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I had my video guy texting me. We got to

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: set up some different some more golf content so that

45
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: that'll be up on YouTube. Gotta lock in some dates.

46
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: I got some ideas, got a text. You'll see it

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: sooner or later, but make sure you subscribe to that

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. And before we dive into some football, let

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: me tell you about my friends, my partners, and the

50
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: official ticketing app of this podcast, Game Time. Here's the

51
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: thing with Game Time. What do you want to do?

52
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to a game? College pro?

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Do you want to go enjoy yourself? Is your team

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: making a playoff push? Do you want to go to

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: an NBA game and an HL game? Games? They are

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Television does not do them justice. It really does not.

57
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: Went to my first one a couple of years ago,

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is awesome. Then Salt Lake City stole

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: the NHL team here, which whatever. I had only gotten

60
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: to one game and I don't even pretend to be

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: a fan. But if you live in an area with

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: an NHL team, I highly recommend go into a game,

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: especially if you got a little kid that they would

64
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: really enjoy it. I mean it was something I wish

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I would have done more, definitely when I lived in

66
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: Philly and when I lived in the Bay Area when

67
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: the Sharks were good. But you want to go to

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: a concert a comedy show, do it, and do it

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: on us because it's the easiest app to use. Take

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: we got to give our boys, Sirianni some love. You know,

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: sometimes when you grow to a figure that becomes so polarizing,

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to shake. Like in a weird way, the

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: dude had had a lot of success, but last year

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: ended so crazy, and then this year the moment with

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: the Browns fans, or when he's playing the Browns with

82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: the home fans, it was like everyone talked about him

83
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: and I'm guilty too, Like he's Jim tom Sulla and

84
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: then you look up and he's hosting Thursday Night Football

85
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: and his team seven to two, and over the last

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: four games they have outscored their opponent one hundred and

87
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven two forty nine and twenty three of those

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: points came against the Jags were they were up twenty

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: two to nothing. So in his four game winnings, I

90
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: guess five game winning streak. But if you remove that

91
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Browns game, which got weird, he's averaging over thirty points

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: a game as a head coach, team looks good. I

93
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: said it coming into the season. And one thing and

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: I learned this every year, but definitely I am going

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: to when we discuss in August next year, you're how

96
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: important your head coaches? I mean betting on the Saints

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: when Dennis Allen was their head coach? What was I doing? Like?

98
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: How insane was I? So when you're head coach or

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: even saying like my take should have been, Yeah, the

100
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: Bears they have some talent, but you know, they're probably

101
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: six win team, and I think I was probably closer

102
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: like they can win eight nine games. They're not winning

103
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: eight nine games with Matti Eberfluss, What the fuck was

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: I talking about. The thing with Siriani is like, I

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's a great head coach, but they have

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: such a well run organization. They have so much talent.

107
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: They add two really good coordinators and adding Saquon Barkley,

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: their offense is loaded. So if Jalen is just solid,

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: if you add Saquon and he's healthy, like they're gonna

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: be a dominant offense. They just are because you got

111
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: a j. Brown is one of the best wide receivers.

112
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: You have DeVante Smith, who's one of the best young

113
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: players in the league. They have a really good tight end,

114
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Saquan's an elite back. An offensive line like they draft

115
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: those guys every single year, so even when guys get injured,

116
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: they are able to mix a match and they have

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: an elite offensive line coach who probably makes my guess,

118
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Jeff Stalllin makes a couple of million dollars. So this Siriani,

119
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: while he's very fun to talk about, Like he wins

120
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow and the Eagles are favored, he'll be eight and

121
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: two and they will be right on the heels with

122
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions headed into the stretch run of the season,

123
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: So we could make fun of him all we want,

124
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: and he takes a lot of shit. Here's the one thing, though,

125
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: when you work in Philly as a head coach, you

126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: do like it's a tough place to play. Like he's

127
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: been feeling pressure the moment he started, you know whatever,

128
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: four years ago. So like all the pressure in this

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: game is on the Eagles, all of the pressure, one

130
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the pressure is to win this game

131
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: at home. You could argue there's even more pressure on

132
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: the Washington owner than there is on the actual team,

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: because that's an underrated elephant in the room that the

134
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: dude that owns the Sixers also owns the Commanders. And

135
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: I've said this before forever the Commanders were such a

136
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: joke with Dan Sneyder it didn't matter. But they're not

137
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: a joke anymore. Now they're good. And now it's like, wait,

138
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: you own our basketball team, but you own like the Commanders.

139
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: If they just are good now for the foreseeable future,

140
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: which I think you'd be hard pressed to argue against them,

141
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, being good for a while, that this

142
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: rivalry is gonna be a little weird for the dude.

143
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, you're trying to take out our football team,

144
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: our price possession. I mean, the Eagles in Philly are

145
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: the equivalent of like Alabama football and Tuscaloosa, or LSU

146
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: football in Baton Rouge and the other sports are massive,

147
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: but there is nothing like this football team. And after

148
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: I think everyone was on edge about a month ago, rightfully,

149
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: so it was getting weird. You gotta be feeling pretty good.

150
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I know you've been beating the crap out of bad teams,

151
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: but that's the key. You've been beating the crap out

152
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: of bad teams. And I remember when the Bears did,

153
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and everyone's like the Bears. It's like, let's see Caleb

154
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: play against some good teams like I have seen the

155
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Eagles guys. When they're playing well against other high level competition,

156
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: it works. And I think tomorrow I like the Eagles,

157
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of big like I like them and the points.

158
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock me at all if they win this

159
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: game by ten plus points. And listen, I think Washington's

160
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: playing with house money. They have had a phenomenal season.

161
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean they really have. It's already a win. They've

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: won seven games. Their quarterback looks like a future star.

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: Currently he's got nine touchdowns only two picks. He got

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: another four rushing. Their schedule actually sets up pretty nice.

165
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: They still play the Cowboys twice, who just stink. They

166
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: still play the Titans, they play the Saints like they

167
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: could get rolled in this game. And still very very

168
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: conceivable that they get to eleven wins. But I'd argue

169
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: if they went ten and seven in Jayden's rookie year,

170
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: and whether that got them the sixth seed or the

171
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: seventh seed, that's one of the more impressive seasons, especially

172
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: the franchise that they just took over, we have seen

173
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: in a long long time. Really, I mean remember like

174
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: when Dan Campbell got to Detroit with Jared Goff, they

175
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: went three and thirteen. They were really really bad. Usually,

176
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: like these turnarounds take a little while. Adam Peters who

177
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: came from the forty nine ers, like I saw him

178
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: and John Lynch when they got there in seventeen, they

179
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: were horrendous football team for two years before they broke

180
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: out in twenty nineteen and were in the Super Bowl.

181
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: So if Washington wins ten games gets to the playoffs,

182
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: standing ovation as a football fan, what a season. But

183
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: like this is the type game and I listen I know,

184
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: like Dan Quinn and Jaden and the team don't feel

185
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: like this, but this is just a reality. They're playing

186
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: with house money in this game. All of the pressures

187
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: on Philly, and I do think Nick Sirianni has with

188
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, his team have just quieted everyone. Like people

189
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: in Philly are coming into this game excited, not like

190
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: on the fence of something bad's gonna happen. The expectation

191
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: coming into this building is we're gonna kick ass and

192
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: take names and if they play well, it's crazy, how

193
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: you know? This is part of sports. It's very fickable.

194
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Anthony Rigson. Things can change very very quickly.

195
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, Sirianni is gonna

196
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: be judged in the playoffs, especially if he doesn't have

197
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: the number one seed. Like, what's it gonna take for

198
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: him to get a contract extension. Does one playoff win

199
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: get it for him? I don't know, does two? It'd

200
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: be hard to not give a guy contract extension if

201
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: he took the team to the NFC Championship game, especially

202
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: if you had to go on the road to Detroit

203
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: and lose, like you'd be an underdog in that game.

204
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: But I think if you're an Eagles fan, you're feeling

205
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: pretty good. You're young players. I mean, Cooper de Jean's

206
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: making plays. Obviously, the two defensive linemens starting with Jalen

207
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: Carter has been awesome. Nolan Smith has been a factor,

208
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: Nikobe Dean. I mean, these are young core guys on defense,

209
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: and we know how awesome the offense can look. So

210
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: in the let's face it, I would say two of

211
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: the best, if not the best, especially when you factor

212
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: in the price. Offseason additions have been Derek Henry and

213
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. I mean, those guys have been certified ass kickers.

214
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: They have been unstoppable forces. And well, Derek's, you know,

215
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: probably a Hall of Famer and definitely add into that

216
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: resume if he was, and he's much closer now and

217
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: will be if he plays like this for a couple

218
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: of years with the Ravens. No one's ever argued that

219
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: Saquon's not a Hall of Fame talent, right. The argument

220
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: when what's his name drafted of number two overall, wasn't

221
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: like this guy's one of, if not the best player

222
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: in the draft. It's do you draft a running back

223
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: that high? And I understood more so, like, yeah, I

224
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: don't think you draft a running back that high, but

225
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: when you're the Eagles and you get an opportunity to

226
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: get a guy with a chip on his shoulder, it's

227
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: it's just made their offense so much more well rounded.

228
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: And he's just he's just an elite game changing player.

229
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: So I like the Eagles in this game. I'm excited

230
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: for this game. I mean, last week was awesome. Ravens Bengals.

231
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: You get these division games. Obviously the Bengals record isn't good,

232
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: but we know, like when they play like that, they

233
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: are tough out and I would expect a very very

234
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: entertaining game. And this is the good part about you know,

235
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: the league wanting I mean they're in bed with Amazon,

236
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: but wanting to make this real is you give them

237
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: better games. And I think as the season went on

238
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: years ago in this package, these games were such a joke.

239
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: The matchups were so terrible, and now they're pretty good.

240
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Like there's just no disputing this is a good matchup.

241
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: So I go to next week, you know the game

242
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: is so we got Washington at Philly this week. Next

243
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: week we got Pittsburgh at Cleveland, which I guess could

244
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: be worse. Then we got Thanksgiving games. Then Week fourteen

245
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: we got Green Bay at Detroit. That's pretty freaking unbelievable.

246
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: One thing that this league does a good job of

247
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: is the game after thanksgi They take two of the

248
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: best teams on Thanksgiving Day and make them play the

249
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: next Thursday. So you get a Thursday game, then you

250
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: get another Thursday game, but it's actually a normal week.

251
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: And then the week after Lions Packers is Rams at

252
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I mean, that's pretty good. Back to back

253
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: stretch talk. In early December the Colts. I've been saying

254
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: this for a while, is it is so difficult to

255
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: be a head coach. You have so many crazy, difficult decisions.

256
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: It's like any human you ever meet in management when

257
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: you just talk about you know, a CEO, a CFO,

258
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: someone in a very powerful position, they're really getting paid

259
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: to make constant decisions. Like in terms of actual tangible

260
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: work on a daily basis, it's hard to quantify. They

261
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: are paid to make decisions. That's what Dan Campbell, Andy Reid.

262
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, every head coach in the NFL is doing

263
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: constantly all day, every day. And there are four or

264
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: five you make on a weekly basis, which are game

265
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: changing decisions. And it's so easy as an assistant coach

266
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, we should bench this guy, we

267
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: need or we need to reinsert this guy in the

268
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: starting lineup. I've been there. Everyone has those opinions, scouts, uh,

269
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: position coaches, the coordinators, but it ultimately falls on the

270
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: head coach, slash the GM to be the decision maker,

271
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: not to give a suggestion, but the one that gives

272
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: the final say on we're doing this or we're not

273
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: doing this. So it's like, oh, my suggestion would have

274
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: been correct, Well would you have made that decision in

275
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: that spot? I don't know, and no one ever knows.

276
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, the more experience you have

277
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: doing something, the more confidence you have in whatever you're doing,

278
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: I think, the better and the more equipped you are

279
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: to make decisions. And this Anthony Richardson situation got weird.

280
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: They had to bench them, so it wasn't even the

281
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: right decision. They had no choice. They would have lost

282
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: the team. The choice was made for him the moment

283
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: he tapped out, and Ryan Kelly, their star center, said

284
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: after the game, like, that's not acceptable. We had a

285
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: talk with him, it was like, yeah, he's sitting down.

286
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Then the decision becomes like okay, then it's back on

287
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: your play. A couple weeks later. Why, over the last

288
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: two games, Joe flacco'stron four interceptions and you've lost both games.

289
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: So it's like, if you're gonna lose games, there's no

290
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: point in playing Joe Flacco. Right. If you play this

291
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, who are fucking terrible, who are

292
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: just an absolute embarrassment to the sport, and you lose

293
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco one at four and seven, your season's

294
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: over and two it feels like you wasted the opportunity. Right,

295
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: So you're playing the Jets and you're Shane Stike and

296
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: you go. The Jets defense is horrendous. They can't stop anybody. Well,

297
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: our running backs of baller and we feel comfortable that

298
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: he can go for one twenty one to thirty on him,

299
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: no problem. Well, the one thing our quarterback actually does

300
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: pretty well is run the ball. So if we reinsert

301
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, here's what I would do if I was

302
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: Shane Ssykin. And I don't pretend they're like no more

303
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: football than him, but like I did see a guy

304
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: who most of us consider one of the best offensive

305
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: coaches in the league, insert Malik Willis into a game

306
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Week two this year and win with them throwing way

307
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: less than twenty passes. Why not have a game plan

308
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: that limits what you ask him to do? And I've

309
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: seen a lot of Colts fans get mad at Shane

310
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: Sykin because they go, why is he asking him to

311
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball so much? Like, I don't know, honestly,

312
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: just hand the ball off, run the ball and throw

313
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: it occasionally, And to me, that would be the game plan.

314
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Anything less than like thirty rush attempts between Anthony Richardson

315
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor against the Jets is a massive failure. Honestly,

316
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: you should probably be about thirty five to forty and

317
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: that includes the other running backs on the team as well.

318
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: This should be a game we're gonna try to win

319
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: seventeen to ten. The Jets offense stinks, control the clock,

320
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: and run the ball basically every play. Hey Jets, we're

321
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. We don't think you could stop it.

322
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: Why do you think that? Because you can't? I mean,

323
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: and this is a pretty big moment for Shane Sichin's career,

324
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: because if Anthony Rigson comes back and he keeps doing

325
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: the same things he's been doing and they're just throwing

326
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: it all the time, he's really inaccurate. I think we

327
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: got to start asking ourselves, like, is he a little

328
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: over his head as a head coach, because I know

329
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: he's a good play caller, but as a play caller,

330
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: there's way less on your table. You know. It's like,

331
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: now that I'm getting married and I've lived with them

332
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, you realize there are positives

333
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: to having someone else in the house. You can balance

334
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: what she has to do what I have to do.

335
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: So like she's good at some things, I'm good at

336
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: some things. I don't have to do it all. If

337
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: you live in a house all by yourself, literally everything's

338
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: on you, the cooking, the cleaning, the putting this away,

339
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: the laundry, everything, and as a coordinator, like all you

340
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: have to do is focus on a couple of things

341
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: because other people handle that stuff. As the head coach,

342
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: it all falls on you and you just have to wonder.

343
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a big time, Like

344
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: if I own the Colts, this is kind of a

345
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: defining moment. Like Anthey. Richardon even said, like, listen, I

346
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: needed that. I'm glad that happened. Everything he said was right,

347
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know if he's coached up to

348
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: say the right things, but listen, his quotes were right

349
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: on par with what you would want. So you got

350
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: to take a step back, got take a deep breath,

351
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: got a little sense of humility. I saw a play

352
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: last week where they got a first down. He was

353
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: into the game. I forget who it was. I think

354
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: a receiver could have been Jonathan Taylor, and he was

355
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: right on the sideline. He's right there with him, so

356
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: he was excited. So you just hope, like you know,

357
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: you just sometimes take a deep breath. And he also,

358
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: like Shane Syde, can get a chance at redemption. Best

359
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: part about life, you know, another day comes up. If

360
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: you're miserable today, tomorrow's a new day. Right. If you

361
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: fucked up today, tomorrow's a day to not and get

362
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: it moving in the right direction. The world moves on.

363
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: So I'm actually excited to watch this. And as a gambler,

364
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: if this is not a bet, I would bet. I

365
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: would basically take any team beside maybe like the Panthers

366
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: and the Giants right now against the Jets, and I

367
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: just wouldn't even bet those games, not saying that they

368
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't cover. But you give me points with any team

369
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL beside like three or four of them,

370
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: I would say, like this Cowboy Cooper Rush version the

371
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: Panthers the Giants, I think you're giving me more than

372
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: a field goal. And this morning it was like three

373
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: and a half four points, automatic bet, auto bet. You

374
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: just bet against the Jets. And I think I saw

375
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: Rogers say today that he plans on coming back next year,

376
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people think he would quit.

377
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: I just think, like, if you can still physically play,

378
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: even if you're not the same. I understand he's made

379
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money. He's I'm sure he's got a

380
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: lot in the bank. There are only so many places

381
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: where you can make thirty five forty million dollars a year,

382
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: and that's what he's making right now. So if you're like,

383
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: well I could my body can still handle it? Should

384
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: I make another forty million dollars a year? Because you

385
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: make the forty million dollars whether you win six games

386
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: or whether you win eleven. But he's no dumb. He like,

387
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably never making forty million dollars a year doing

388
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: a job. Maybe I'll make an over investments, or maybe

389
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: it's some building I bought, But I think it's as

390
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: black and white as that. On top of like, listen,

391
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: it's probably fun playing football. The NFL season is rolling

392
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: along and contenders are starting to separate from the pack.

393

00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this is during the trade deadline or

422
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: during the offseason. Like hey, so and so team traded

423
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: for this player. It cost them a fifth round pick,

424
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: it cost them a sixth round pick. Why didn't my

425
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: team trade for that guy? We were unwilling to give

426
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: up the pick. And I understand that argument. Always it's like,

427
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: are we serious? Most of these fifth round picks are

428
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: not only not going to make the team, no one's

429
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: ever going to hear these guys. Maybe they'll be on

430
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: the practice squad. The problem is enough guy, yes, turn

431
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: into diamidor leonor who Sherman's had on his podcast, who

432
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers four years ago drafted in the

433
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: fifth round. He was picked one seventy two. Yesterday, the

434
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers gave him a five year, ninety two

435
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: million dollar contract extension that on average is a little

436
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: over eighteen million dollars a year. Now, I haven't seen

437
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: all the details of the guarantee or whatever, but I'm

438
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: sure it's not nothing. It's a real contract. Why, he's

439
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: a real player. He's a high end starter at outside corner.

440
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: He can also play nickel, and you can move him

441
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: all around. He's a very very good player. And he's

442
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: the reason that after this season they'll probably you know,

443
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: Charvarius Awards an unrestricted free agent. He won't be on

444
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: the team next year. And like when teams think about

445
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: trading a fourth to fifth sixth round pick for established players,

446
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: they weigh like, well, what if we get our next

447
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: starting corner. I was with the Eagles when Jason Kelsey

448
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: was drafted in the sixth round. He was a starting

449
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: center for well over a decade. And obviously you would

450
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: say Lenore and clearly Kelsey are tend to be outliers,

451
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: but there are enough guys that become longtime starters on

452
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: the third day of the draft that are the reason

453
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: these gms hesitate, especially on good teams, right because if

454
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm the Chiefs, if I'm the Bills, if I'm the Ravens,

455
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: getting a guy in the fourth or fifth round that

456
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: starts for me for three years is by far the

457
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: number one economic advantage I can have when I have

458
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: a high priced team, because I get a starting player

459
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: for essentially the minimum for like seven eight, nine hundred

460
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and if then that guy becomes a good

461
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: player like Lenore, it's like I struck oil. It truly

462
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: is incredible, because even the five year, ninety two million

463
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: dollar contract, if you factor in his first four years

464
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 1: in the league over like even if he doesn't make

465
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: it the full nine let's say he plays eight years

466
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers, just cost average that over

467
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: that period of time. Like I draft Nick bos or

468
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett number one or number two, and then I

469
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: give him one hundred plus million dollars. I still paid

470
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: him a lot of money when I drafted him really high.

471
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: But when I draft these guys, you know, really low

472
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: in the draft and I hit, it's it's found money.

473
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: And these examples happen every single year, and the good

474
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: teams take advantage of those rounds. It's boring even to

475
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: me at this time on TV on Saturday in the

476
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: draft because you never know, because a guy that you

477
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: liked in college gets drafted in the fourth round might

478
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: not even make the team, and a guy you know

479
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: nothing about might become their next starting safety for the

480
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: next eight years and get fifty million dollars in three

481
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: years from now. That's what makes the draft so fun.

482
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: It's one of the great unknowns. You have no fucking

483
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: clue who's gonna be sweet. Clearly, if the NFL, and

484
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: this is like we always say in exact science analytics,

485
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: I nothing's ever gonna change because there's no chance on

486
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: God's green earth that did not. If Diamadoor Leonore, if

487
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: every team in the league had any idea, he'd be

488
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: half as good as he turned out. To be he

489
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: would have made it past like pick forty. But that's

490
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: never gonna change, and that's always what makes the discourse

491
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: leading up to the draft. And then after the draft,

492
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: I heard I saw a clip with Dean Sanders yesterday

493
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: and he was arguing with some people over you know,

494
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: the recruiting classes, and he had actually a pretty good point.

495
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: He's like, everyone gets on us, you know, for being

496
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: so aggressive in the transfer portal. But let's just say

497
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: I signed twenty freshmen out of high school, right, twenty freshmen,

498
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: So during their freshman year, let's say three or four

499
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: of them play for the team. The other let's say

500
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: sixteen guys red shirt. Well, the following spring, during spring practice,

501
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: if it's pretty clear that maybe twelve of those sixteen

502
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: guys are not even close to playing either, what's gonna happen.

503
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna enter the transfer portal. So those guys that

504
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: we just invested a year in and use scholarships on

505
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: the previous year are now gone heading into their second year.

506
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: So we have found a balance of maybe less high

507
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: school guys that we think have a really good chance

508
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: to play right away and being really aggressive in the

509
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: transfer portal that the plan is to plug and play

510
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: the majority of those guys, and even if they don't

511
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: end up starting, we know they can play on special

512
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: teams or whatever. It's like, what prime makes a lot

513
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: of sense at That's pretty good logic, and I think

514
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: you just have to adapt your way of thinking when

515
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: it comes to the draft. Rizzy was talked was talking

516
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: with Florio and he essentially had a line, you know,

517
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: he's the interim coach right now for for the Saints.

518
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: He's the guy that clogged the toilet on his his

519
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: coaching debut, which I think anyone would gladly take a

520
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: clogged toilet coaching debut victory over a non clogged toilet loss.

521
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: So it was it was well worth. It makes for

522
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: a great story. And listen, you know you probably ate

523
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: a big dinner, eat a big breakfast, got the got

524
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: the nerves flowing, you know, Trinka, you know large cold

525
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: brew and you know you gotta you gotta clear out

526
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: the pipes. Nothing like a good feeling of clearing out

527
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: the pipes on game day morning after after a nice

528
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, large coal brew from Starby's. But he essentially

529
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: said that the reason a lot of special teams coaches

530
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: don't truly get the opportunity either to interview for a

531
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: head coaching job or when they interview, or never taken

532
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: that seriously because owners and gms love to win the

533
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: press conference. You get way more credit if you hire

534
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: the number one defensive coordinator or the number one offensive

535
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: coordinator or some star college guy. And he's not wrong.

536
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: It's a very big deal after you fire a coach

537
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: to have a positive press conference. That's a fact. But

538
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: I started thinking about think how stupid it is, and

539
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: I I was in the Bay Area when Jim tom

540
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Sula gave his press conference. It is by far the

541
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: most outrageous experience in the history of sports for a

542
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: non game. It was like, what just happened? And that

543
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: obviously reflected everything that was about to happen all time

544
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: disaster joke, just bad higher. I mean, it's the worst hire,

545
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: I'd argue in the history of the league, especially when

546
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: you factor in you essentially fired Jim Harbaugh for Jim

547
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: tom Sula. Like Sirianni's was bad. But obviously, since like

548
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: sirian went to Super Bowl, Syrian has been the playoffs.

549
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: Sirianni's headed back to the playoffs is gonna probably win

550
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: the division game, so no one even cares about your

551
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: press conference. But I do think you get so caught

552
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: up on a press conference, which is essentially on day

553
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: one of the guy's employment, when ideally you're hiring this

554
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: guy for the next five to ten years. And I

555
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: do wonder sometimes, like things are fickle, right, Things change

556
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: all the time in sports, in society, in our personal lives.

557
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: Like you grow, you just your views and your desires change,

558
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: Like that's part of life. You're up, you're down. You

559
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: have different outlooks on different things. And sometimes when something

560
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: like sexy offensive coordinators are really in vogue, and there

561
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: are a lot of them, those guys are going to

562
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: get hired, especially when you just factor in the economics

563
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: of the league. You're like, well, who makes the most money?

564
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: We like the quarterback? Well, who coaches the quarterback? Well,

565
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: the guy, you know, the offensive coordinator, usually a quarterback guy.

566
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: You're like, well, shouldn't we make that guy the head coach?

567
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Like there is a lot of logic behind that, and

568
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: you go like, who's the best head's currently in the NFL?

569
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Like Andy Reid, Well, what's he do? Well, he's an

570
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: offensive guy, play caller, quarterback genius, Like, well, wouldn't you

571
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: want that? Yeah, well, there's also been Belichick. He's a

572
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: defensive guy, but he actually was pretty good dealing with Brady.

573
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: And then the other guy, you know, Bill Walsh, who

574
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: was also a quartered Like it makes sense, but you

575
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: also have to go off. It's like a draft. What

576
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: are your options? Right? Like, who are your options? And

577
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: you go, well, beside Ben Johnson, it's not a great crop.

578
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: Even though I think Liam Collen's pretty impressive and I

579
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: think he will be in this mix for sure, but

580
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: you go Kubiak, that star is dimmed, Slowick, that star

581
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: is clearly dimmed. And then you also got Belichick and

582
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: Vrabel And I think it got so hot with Kyle

583
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: and McVeigh, but it does feel like most of his

584
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: best guys got hired, right His best crew with Kyle

585
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: was McVeigh. Lafleur like that happened, and you've seen other

586
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: guys like Robert Sala, lafleur brother who went with him,

587
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, flame out pretty quick. Demiko like was a

588
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: coaching star, already hired, Kevin O'Connell, already hired, Rahem Morris,

589
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: already hired, Mike McDaniel already hired. Like that crew's kind

590
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: of taken. Now, I guess you can go to the

591
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: new crew. You're like, well, would you be interested in

592
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy, You'd be like, well, what's his background? Well,

593
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: played quarterback in the NFL. His father quarterback in the

594
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: NFL for one of the great teams of all time,

595
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, undefeated, played for Don Shula. Yeah, he's

596
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna check the boxes. But I also think, like, I

597
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: wonder if Steve Spagnola gets some interviews this offseason, because

598
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: we know Vrabel's gonna get some interviews this offseason. We

599
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: know Belichick's gonna get some interviews this offseason. I mentioned

600
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: this the other day, like keep an eye on Kirby

601
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Smart this offseason. So you just I would go into

602
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: these situations and it's kind of crazy to me, And

603
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: this is why the Bear should fire Eberflus. You essentially

604
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: fire a guy January one, and then you just talk

605
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: to a guy a couple times, and then you just

606
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: make him the head coach of your organization. Like, I

607
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: don't care how many frames of reference in people you

608
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: call or how many times you google this guy's stats.

609
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: As a coordinator feels like not enough information like Starbucks.

610
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: I read this article on the Wall Street Journal the

611
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: other day that the dude they hired from Chipotle, the

612
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: CEO from Chipotle, went to Starbucks, and a couple months

613
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: before he went to Starbucks, they were clearly talking to him.

614
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: And he would go to random Starbucks, whether it be

615
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: in a mall, whether it be in the corner of

616
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: a shopping center, and he would just talk to baristas

617
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: and ask them questions and pick their brain. And he

618
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: did this for months, just acquiring information. This is well

619
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: before he took the job. And my guess would be

620
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: is like, and they say this a lot that sometimes

621
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: coaches interview the team as much as the team interviews

622
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: the coach, which I will would imagine is going to

623
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: happen with guys like Rabel Belichick. It happened sometimes in college, right,

624
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine it happened with Lincoln and Brian Kelly

625
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: when they left Oklahoma and Notre Dame to go to

626
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: LSU and USC. Obviously those haven't worked, but they didn't

627
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: need to leave. And I think like when he took

628
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: the job at Starbucks, he felt pretty confident that like, Okay,

629
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: I see some things here that can be fixed, and

630
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: I think this is plausible, right. Obviously, they made him

631
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: very rich man. They gave him a signing bonus like

632
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: he was an athlete. They let him move the headquarters

633
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: down to Newport Beach like it was a great deal.

634
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: But sometimes you just take a great deal, even if

635
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: it's a situation that you can't win. You know. I

636
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: asked Lincoln Riley how that went. I mean, they gave

637
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: him a hundred and twenty million dollars, did Lincoln if

638
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: they would offer him sixty million dollars? I got news

639
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: for you. Lincoln Riley still at Oklahoma, so he's like

640
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: he just went simply for the money, where Brian Kelly

641
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: got paid a lot of money. But I think it's

642
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: pretty clear Brian Kelly thought he could win a national

643
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: championship at LSU, and do you know what, it turns

644
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: out like it's actually easier in a twelve team playoff

645
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: to do it at Notre Dame, who is gonna make

646
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs with a fucking loss to NIU And LSU

647
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: is not gonna sniff the playoffs. So I just think

648
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: we got to be careful about like, and I'm not

649
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: saying I wouldn't be inclined and try to hire these

650
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: offensive guys, Like I would interview Brian Greesey. I would say, well,

651
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: who's mcveay's right hand guy right now on offense? Who's

652
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: Lafleur leaning on? In Green Bay? I would want to

653
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: interview those But I would go into these situations open minded,

654
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: like who is the best candidate because winning the press conference?

655
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: Think how irrelevant that is? Like, does any Green Bay

656
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: Packer fan remember Matt Lafleor's press conference? I don't remember

657
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan or Sean mcvay's press conference. Did Kansas City

658
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: win the press conference when they hired Andy Reid a

659
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: couple weeks after he just got fired from Philadelphia? I

660
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: doubt it. Does any Chiefs fan remember that press conference?

661
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: Of course? Not that opening press conference is so irrelevant.

662
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about Rizzy, but if he's clearly

663
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: as impressive, it's like, seems like a pretty high level guy.

664
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: I'd interview him. Why not? And like you said, like

665
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: obviously some special teams coach Joe Judge went bad, some

666
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: have gone well, John Harball, I would say Joe Judge

667
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: a good example, clearly over his head John Harball was

668
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: not and last, but not least, Netflix, they've sold out

669
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: their ads on Christmas. And I think, you know, for

670
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: most of my life, the NFL really had one holiday,

671
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: and that was Thanksgiving, in which they still own. Like

672
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day, they're sitting around and football's on in the background.

673
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you go for a depending on how old you are, right,

674
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: maybe you're outside messing with your buddies. The older you get,

675
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: maybe you're inside and drinking with your family. As you

676
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: get kids, maybe you're outside playing in the front yard.

677
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: But football is on the TV at least in my

678
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: house since as long as I can remember, since I

679
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: was a young kid, and that was back in the

680
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: day when maybe there were two games. Then they've added

681
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: this third game and you just got football on the TV.

682
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: And that was their day. And Martin Luther King Day

683
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: was the NBA's day, and Christmas was the NBA's day.

684
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: And the NFL has come flying in and said, no,

685
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: mass those are my days. I've stolen those days. I mean,

686
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: you look at Christmas, that is now the NFL's territory.

687
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: That's their real estate. Christmas Eve also their real estate

688
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: New Year's depending on where it falls they're going to

689
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: play on that day, and I think Netflix is the

690
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: perfect partner for this because the Jake Paul Mike Tyson

691
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: fight is happening this weekend. I was supposed to happen

692
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: a while ago, and then Tyson got injured. He's fifty

693
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: eight years old. I think your first reaction is like,

694
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of stupid. Though I've watched a couple Jake

695
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: Paul's fights and listen, I kind of like stupid sometimes

696
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch. I watched Mike Tyson. I think the

697
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: fight Roy Jones. I think it was like the pre

698
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: fight for when Jake Paul. Forget who Jake Paul was fighting,

699
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: not whole Cogan, but like some famous random guy and won.

700
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure that Tyson and Roy Jones Junior fought.

701
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: That's when it was pay per view. I bought it.

702
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, like, God, I think Tyson, you know,

703
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: at the time he was like fifty five or fifty four.

704
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: I actually thought he looked pretty good, and who knows

705
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: fifty eight. It's clearly hard for him to train his

706
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: body injuries and stuff. But the point is that thing's

707
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of eyeballs. The Tom Brady Roast

708
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: was a major, major success. And that's the thing with

709
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: the NFL is it's like the ultimate just kind of event,

710
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: even though it's just a random regular season games, because

711
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: football games always feel big because there aren't that many of them,

712
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: and there's always a build up to those games. There

713
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: was a build up to the Roast which far exceeded

714
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: my expectations. There's obviously been a long build up to

715
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: this Tyson Jake Paul fight, which you can convince me

716
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 1: anything's gonna happen, but guess what it's gonna It's gonna

717
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: get me interested. It's gonna get me to watch. Honestly,

718
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: might even bet on it. Don't even hate Mike Tyson

719
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: in the upset, but I think that this the NFL

720
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: and Netflix feel like they're kind of made for each other.

721
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: Right now, Okay, let's bang out a couple of Middlecoff

722
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: mailbag questions. You guys know the drill at John Middlecoff.

723
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: At John Middlecoff is the Instagram firing those dms. Get

724
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: your questions answered here on the show. Start with special

725
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: k Uh not the drug. I think that's just a

726
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: fine I'm looking young man with all the talent coming

727
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: out at quarterback each year. Well, the quarterback market eventually regress,

728
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: leading teams just restarting every five years instead of the

729
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: ill advised large contract to Trevor Lawrence or Daniel Jones.

730
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: I get teams don't want to lose players for nothing,

731
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: but you're not telling me it would be better to

732
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: pay Quinn you ers five million a year and surround

733
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: them with good coaching and talent, then pay a marginally

734
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: better brock Purty fifty million dollars a year in a vacuum.

735
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: Dak or Derek Carr are better than bo Nicks, but

736
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: they're not ten times better like what they're being paid.

737
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: It depends who you're talking about here. The chances that

738
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: Quinn yours is ever remotely close to as good as

739
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: brock Purty in the NFL, I would say, is slim.

740
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: The nun now, I think when you start getting into

741
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: the Dak and Derek Carr and even Brock, who's I say,

742
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: a better version of those guys. And Derek is not

743
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: as good now but was once you know, the year

744
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: that he got paid, he was in the MVP discussion.

745
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: And obviously Dak has been, you know, a top five

746
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: MVP candidate, you know, on given years, but I think

747
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: we've always viewed him as somewhere between, like the eighth

748
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: to twelfth quarterback. It is hard to replace that guy.

749
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: To me, if you have Daniel Jones, like I'm moving on,

750
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: and I totally agree with you. I would rather just

751
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: draft a new quarterback take my chances than pay Daniel

752
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: Jones forty million dollars a year. But when I get

753
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: Brock perty or Dak who are not Lamar, Josh, Allen

754
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: Herbert and Patrick I it's very, very difficult for me

755
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: to move off that player. Like I understood what the

756
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys did. It's extreme, it's a lot of money, But like,

757
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: is anyone coming into this draft better than Dak Prescott?

758
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: The chances that Shador Sanders will be as good as

759
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, the chances that cam Ward will be as

760
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: good as Dak Prescott, Like I would bet against them

761
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: all not being as good. Quinn yours, Carson Beck, I mean,

762
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: to me, he's like an undrafted free agent. But you

763
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: know what I mean, maybe one of them will be.

764
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: But if you're just playing the odds, like if I

765
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: could have Dak Prescott as my quarterback for fifteen years now.

766
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: The difficult part is, and this is where you are right,

767
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: is once you start paying a lot of money to

768
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: your quarterback, it does become more difficult to build your team.

769
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: And that's where the pressure on drafting is really really high.

770
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: It's why the Chiefs they've drafted really really well, like

771
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. You know, they don't pay a quarterback,

772
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: but they have a shitload of guys's making a lot

773
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: of money. Well, they have a lot of like third, fourth,

774
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: fifth round guys that start on their team all over

775
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: and that helps, you know, like Juwan Jennings seventh rounder,

776
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: Pony third rounder, safeties, fifth round, corners, fifth round. I mean,

777
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: it just it helps. So you just got to draft well.

778
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: Obviously it gets even put into more question once they

779
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: pay Brock. But I do understand, like Jared Goff, Brock purty,

780
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: Like I do think there's a line you could argue

781
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: Derek carrs on the other side of the line, Daniel

782
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: Jones definitely is Trevor Lawrence. They just didn't even need

783
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: to pay, Like I would have just waited another year.

784
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand what the rush was Colts fan here,

785
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: such a shit show quarterback. I mean, what the hell

786
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: are we doing? Why did we ever? Bench Richardson? What

787
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Is it time for the Colts to

788
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: clean house? I talked about it on the podcast. You know,

789
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they had a choice. When he tapped

790
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: out and he was playing bad, they would have lost

791
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: their locker room. And that's the thing that's easy for

792
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: us to stay on the outside, you know, talking heads

793
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: on podcasts and on television shows, and those fifty guys

794
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: inside the locker room, especially their high end players, like

795
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: this is bullshit, This cannot happen, and so they had

796
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: to make a move, and it's easy to go, well,

797
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: it just was he was playing bad. But I think

798
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: when he tapped out, he needed to take a breather,

799
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: like this will never be tolerated in this sport, in

800
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: this league ever. And I think reading his quotes today,

801
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: I think he understands that, or at least I think,

802
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks away, realize I think

803
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: there's been a tough spot. I think the problem is

804
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: if they go back to Anthony Richardson and let's say

805
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: they end up going eight to nine and missing the

806
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: play or seven to ten and missing the playoffs, like

807
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: Shane Sykeen said, a you're gonna fire him? Probably not. Well,

808
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 1: it's like, well what about Chris Baalt, Well, you're gonna

809
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: fire your GM, hire a new GM and make him

810
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: more With Shane Stikeen, that's a little weird. Usually doesn't

811
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: work that way. And if you do lose the rest

812
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: of the season, do you know what the number one

813
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: question is, especially if Anthony Richisons all over the place, Well,

814
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't just get he's not on scholarship anymore. Where

815
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: when the offseason again, he's just the starting quarterback like

816
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: those days would be over. So then it's like, well,

817
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 1: do we pay a little bit more for a guy

818
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: to come in and compete? And who is that player?

819
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: Like we don't just sign Flacco or Gardner Minshew in

820
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: the off season to be the backup. We almost have

821
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: to pay more to get a guy to come in

822
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: and be competitive. Well, what if the Saints move on

823
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: from Derek Carr, Like, do we sign him and have

824
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: an open competition? That's where I think gets really complicated,

825
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: and that's where this whole thing could unravel. And if

826
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: anything in Richardson sucks, like if he's just not good

827
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: enough and he can't be a starting quarterback. I think

828
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: they'd all be not this year, but over the course

829
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: of the next what fourteen to fifteen months? A lot

830
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: of question marks in that building. This from Eric some

831
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: nice words, Barry guy. Anyways, my question is how does

832
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly escape media criticism. This guy's a total fraud.

833
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: He totally wasted Jayden Daniels plus other elite talent on

834
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: the team. Is this guy currently the most overrated college coach?

835
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: I never liked him after the whole let's execute our

836
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: players quote. I get that he was joking, but would

837
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: you rather win a top tier coach say something so clownish?

838
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: I didn't mind that quote just because it's such a cheesy,

839
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: like dad joke. It was clear what he was saying.

840
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: I think he didn't waste Jaden Daniels like Jayden was

841
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: incredible under his watch. You know, he's an offensive guy,

842
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: and if he hires the wrong defensive coordinator, like any

843
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: offensive head coach, they're gonna have a lot of problems.

844
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: The Chiefs got a lot better on defense when Andy

845
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: fired Sutton and went to Steve Spagnola. So who your

846
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: coordinator is? If you hire the wrong guy and it

847
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work, you're screwed. But I think that loss at

848
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: home was pretty embarrassing. It was pretty bad and it's

849
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: hard to shake that now. Is he the biggest fraud now?

850
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: I think the question mark moving forward is Brian Kelly.

851
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: What is his ceiling? Because part of the reason he

852
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: left Notre Dame to go to LSU was to have

853
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: a national championship ceiling. Couldn't have it at Notre Dame.

854
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: Why because they just can't get the certain players into

855
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: school because of academics that you can get in at LSU,

856
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: you can get it at Alabama, then you can get

857
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: into Texas, you can get it into Texa A and m

858
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State can get into whoever the fuck you want.

859
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dames. It's hard for him. The academic requirements are different, which,

860
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: to me at this point in time in twenty twenty five,

861
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: like who cares if it's like, hey, we can get

862
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: this wide receiver who does not meet our academic requirements,

863
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: but Alabama, LSU, Georgian Ohio State won them. But he

864
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: really likes Notre Dame. It's like, yeah, let's waive that shit.

865
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: But hey, that's just me, not mister academia here. I

866
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I think if he wins out goes nine

867
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: to three wins a bowl game, it's just gonna be

868
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: defined the next couple of years. Can he make a

869
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: playoff run? Three straight coaches? LSU have won national championships

870
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: three straight coaches, and I'd say, beside Nick Saban, the

871
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 1: other two aren't really viewed as geniuses in Less Mild

872
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: and at Ojeron. So I think there's gonna be a

873
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him the next couple of years.

874
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a fraud. I think he's a

875
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: pretty good coach. Is there a ceiling? It kind of

876
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: feels that way, like you know might like listen, I'm

877
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: not trying to be an asshole here, but I think

878
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's got a lot more fraud smell coming from

879
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: his operation Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly's had some bad losses

880
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: and helped Brian Kelly lost to Lincoln Riley, but I

881
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: would rather have Brian Kelly than Lincoln Riley. I have

882
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: a question. I'm an Eagles fan and I want to

883
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys. You have already mentioned that the

884
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: Saints could hire Aaron Glenn as their new head coach

885
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: due to the fact that the team knows him. With

886
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: the same line of logic, could the now Boys try

887
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: to hire Kellen Moore from the Eagles just to keep

888
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: Prescott happy as well as Jerry being able to control him.

889
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: The reality is, if you work for Jerry Jones, whether

890
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: you're McCarthy, whether you're Jason Garrett, whether you're Kellen Moore,

891
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: whether you're any coach, even Bill Parcells, Jerry's going to

892
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: have a large, large role and going to be much

893
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: more involved than the majority of owners. So if Bill

894
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 1: Belichick was hired by Jerry, it's not like Jerry's like, hey, hey, Bill,

895
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: I'll just see on Sundays, Like Jerry's still coming in

896
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: the office. Jerry still got takes and opinions, And I mean,

897
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: maybe Bill would be big enough to be like, hey, Jerry,

898
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: you're worth billions of dollars. You fucking achieved the American

899
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: dream from just some kid on the Arkansas football team

900
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: in the sixties to a guy that owns the Dallas

901
00:49:54,600 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys and his families, whose sons children's chill 's children

902
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: won't ever even think twice about getting the most expensive

903
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: steak at the steakhouse. Hell they'll get wagou delivered to

904
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: their house on door dash and they'll pay even extra

905
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: to make sure that shit's still hot when it arrives.

906
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: You made it, But could you please just not call

907
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: into the radio station every week during the season. I

908
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,919
Speaker 1: just I don't think I'm asking too much here. Would

909
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: that Would that be possible? And I think he would

910
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: be the only guy that could pull that off. I

911
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: think Kelvill Moore is a good coach. I know people

912
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: have been critical over them over the years. Maybe I

913
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: have a soft spot because I saw him play at

914
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: Presnel State and I just know his story and I

915
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 1: know the you know, the coach that kind of developed

916
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: him in Chris Peterson, and I thought he did a

917
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: good job, you know, his first couple of years with

918
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Obviously, what's going on right now in Philly,

919
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: but it crossed my mind, like, yeah, I think one

920
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: million percent did. Jared Jones would talk to Kellen Moore,

921
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: and I think he would be more inclined, Like, let's

922
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: face it, who is Jerry hired in the past. A

923
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: lot of guys that he's known, right, Jimmy Johnson, He

924
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: knew Jimmy Johnson. There were college teammates. Jason Garrett like

925
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: was his guy. Mike McCarthy was a little out of

926
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: left field for Jerry honestly, a little unconventional. You could

927
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: argue that if the season end of to day and

928
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense keeps crushing it, Kellen Moore might be

929
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: their number one choice, might be their number one choice.

930
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: Good call. I don't talk about that enough. Just a

931
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: thought on Anthony Richison. Could you see a transition to

932
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: tight end? I don't know if he has the hands

933
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: for it, and the blocking game might be a struggle,

934
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: but the boy can run. He's a menace in the

935
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 1: open field. In a long time quarterback. I can't imagine

936
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: he has extensive knowledge of the route trees. Wild thought,

937
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: but he has the size. He just might not want

938
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: to do it. Logan Thomas, who was the quarterback at

939
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech who got drafted in the NFL as a quarterback,

940
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: made the transition. It was actually pretty good. Terrell Pryor

941
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: made the transition to wide receiver was pretty good. I mean,

942
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: obviously the number one thing you know he's going He's

943
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: not going to be a blocking tight end. He would

944
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: be like a I mean he would be a flexed out,

945
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: athletic tight end who would be a route guy, right,

946
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: We're not asking him to be George Kittle here. I

947
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: just I don't know about his hands. I mean, does

948
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: he have I couldn't even begin to guess. You know,

949
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: some guys, it's like sometimes you see a guy throw

950
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: a double pass, like, holy shit, he's got a great arm.

951
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, yeah, he was a high school quarterback.

952
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: And then sometimes you see a double pass and you're like,

953
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: that is that the worst throw I've ever seen? I

954
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: can't believe they let him throw. It's one of those

955
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: with you know, a transitional player, because I'm with if

956
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: he just if his accuracy is just going to be this,

957
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: he is so big and athletic and strong that you

958
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: would have to try another position if he could catch,

959
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 1: you would say, some offensive skill position. If he couldn't,

960
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, could he play like outside linebacker? I don't know.

961
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: I would say that even that that is asked, that

962
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: that is a question mark. November thirteenth, twenty twenty four.

963
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard has to just throw up in his mouth

964
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 1: that someone could ask that question and people like could

965
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: have a conversation about it. If I would have told

966
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: him two years ago, not even two years ago, twenty

967
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: twenty three, April whatever the draft was, twenty fifth, twenty six,

968
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: that within eighteen months people are gonna be able to

969
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: have a conversation like could this guy play another position?

970
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: He would throw up in his mouth, fall out of

971
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: his chair, aka not make the pick. Hey, John, I

972
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: gotta say I have grown to love the Pod this season.

973
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I've missed an episode. I don't know

974
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: how to get mailback, how to get a mailbag question in?

975
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: But I'm curious. I work for a search firm and

976
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: an executive recruiting. Soft skills are the difference and a

977
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: key factor in a higher As a former scout, how

978
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: much does someone weigh soft skills way into your evaluation

979
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: for the quarterback? That is a good question, I'll be honest.

980
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: I gotta look up the examples of soft skills just

981
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: so I what are seven soft skills? So just cognitive stuff, teamwork,

982
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: problem solving, communication, critical thinking, time management, interpersonal. So what

983
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: would a hard skill be in a white collar job

984
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: would be my question, because obviously you know a hard

985
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 1: skill in football would be your and your soft skill

986
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: would be I think what we would consider character, you know,

987
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: everything from academics to dealing as a teammate. I would

988
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 1: say that is as a quarterback, it's one You've got

989
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: to be able to play. So I'm evaluating you as

990
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: a player like there's a baseline to make it to

991
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: the NFL, and then once you exceed that baseline, I

992
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 1: nitpick you on the film, But I once you exceed

993
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: the baseline of like this guy's an NFL talent, I

994
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: would say the soft skills of all the intangible stuff,

995
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: the critical thinking being a teammate, interpersonal skills. Leadership is

996
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: the number one thing the scouting department tries to lock down,

997
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: and it's the number one thing when you are going

998
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 1: into these programs. I'm trying to learn about the person,

999
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: not the player, because ultimately, like let's say my team's

1000
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: gonna be drafting in the top ten and I'm the

1001
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: Way Coast scout or I'm the National scout, Obviously my

1002
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: grade on the player is important and for me to

1003
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: have conviction on Shadoor Sanders. But when it comes to

1004
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: me and I've gone through Colorado multiple times and they go, well,

1005
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about shador the kid, I better be able

1006
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: to talk about the person longer than the player, And

1007
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: I've said before like that is going to be kind

1008
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: of unique. Now, it might not matter if Deon Sanders

1009
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: gets like the Raider Cowboy job and they draft him

1010
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: like the right up, it's Deon's kid. But if another

1011
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: team's interested, and they're all going to be interested, like

1012
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 1: I got to know the guy really well, and it's

1013
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 1: hard to get that information right. You're using the coaches,

1014
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,479
Speaker 1: you're using the coordinators, you're using the trainers, you're talking

1015
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: to the doctors, you're talking to his teammates, you're talking

1016
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: to the academic people. I mean, hell to you go

1017
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: to town and you start talking to the people that

1018
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: own the bars, people that own the clubs. You just

1019
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 1: try to talk to every single human possible about the guy.

1020
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 1: You know, the longtime athletic department executives that have seen

1021
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: countless other NFL prospects come through, what they think about

1022
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: them ultimately, what defines I mean, clearly, there are some

1023
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: players that don't live up to their draft billing because

1024
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: they weren't as talented as you thought, but they still

1025
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: play in the league for a decade. And what separates,

1026
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: in my opinion, most people that have longevity and success

1027
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL would be again, I'm not as like

1028
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: locked in with the corporate lingo as the soft skills.

1029
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: I never use that terminology. You know, in the scouting world,

1030
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: we just call it character. You know, in the world

1031
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: I live in, I just say judging a person, I

1032
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: would say that that is a determinating factor of most

1033
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: guys intelligence, ability to take football knowledge to the field,

1034
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: work on your football stuff, you know, be addicted to

1035
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: studying the game offseason as well. Obviously that's also you know,

1036
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: sometimes I think we make fun of and laugh at

1037
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: tight End University or the Pass Rush Summit, right George

1038
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: Kittle's Wearn't tight End you and him and Greg Olsen

1039
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: think how incredible that is that they get Kittle, Travis Kelcey,

1040
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen, all these great tight ends who take all

1041
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: the young guys around the NFL and they just spend

1042
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: three or four days together in Nashville talking ball, like

1043
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: talking their craft. Same thing with the Pass Rush Summit

1044
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: with Von Miller and Max Crosby. You know that in

1045
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: most of our industries that's viewed as like an incredible

1046
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: networking event, and a networking event is just about meeting

1047
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: other people because ultimately, like if I'm Trey McBride, just

1048
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: knowing George Kittle doesn't change my but getting to know

1049
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: him and having him teach me how to become a

1050
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: great player improves my career. It's like knowing Colin and

1051
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: being able to run a question by him or two

1052
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: if I have one, is a big deal. And I

1053
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: think this stuff's really cool. And in football, you know

1054
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: when you're not on the team once the season goes,

1055
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: but in the off season, like a lot of these

1056
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: guys trained together, and it's a game changer. These guys

1057
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: when I was a kid used to like reach out

1058
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: to Jerry Rice about training and they'd want to run

1059
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: the hill and they'd all fail because that hill would

1060
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: take out a lot of men except Jerry. And I

1061
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: think Torell Owens can handle it as well. But I

1062
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: think it's pretty cool. So I think soft skills with quarterbacks.

1063
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: But it's hard, and I think you would I would

1064
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: imagine you know this as well. Things you can't quantify,

1065
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: right if I told you I'm a sales guy, it's like,

1066
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, last year, I'm staying within the same industry

1067
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: and I can bring my accounts like I have ten

1068
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: million dollars worth of business. It's it's quantifiable. It's like, well,

1069
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: I got ten million dollars and our company gets to

1070
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: keep ten percent of that. So I'm gonna bring a

1071
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: million dollars revenue to the table, right, Like that's that's

1072
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 1: black and white. But then if I find that guy

1073
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: that's bringing ten million dollars in one million revenue, and

1074
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: let's say I have a small company, that's a huge addition.

1075
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: But I'm like, well, he happens to be the biggest asshole.

1076
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Everyone hates him, No one wants to deal with him

1077
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: beside his clients, like he's gonna come into the office

1078
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: every day. He's a pain in the ass. Or you

1079
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: could hire this guy a little younger, not his experienced,

1080
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: but his future, this personality. It's like, I think this

1081
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: guy can sell quadruple what he's already sold. He's already

1082
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: bringing five hundred grand to the table, so he's bringing

1083
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: half as much in revenue. But I believe in this kid,

1084
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: and I think just you can just tell he's got

1085
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, this is hot, and his hair is on

1086
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: fire and he is ready to roll, and this fucking

1087
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: guy wants it. And I'd bet on this guy having

1088
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: two million dollars in business in five years. Right, you

1089
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: project the future, and that's kind of what the draft is.

1090
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes you go, yeah, this guy's better right now, but

1091
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: like in the next five years, I believe in this guy.

1092
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: I think that's part of life, whether you're hiring people,

1093
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: people you associate with. I think sometimes when you're dating someone,

1094
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: it's about the future. You got to be able to

1095
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: think past tomorrow or next week. And this gets back

1096
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: to talking about coaches, like you want to win the

1097
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: press conference, or you want to hire the best coach

1098
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: because you wanted to win the press conference, Like you

1099
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: would never hire Dan Campbell by say, the Lions feel

1100
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: pretty good about that hire. And you just gotta have

1101
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: a balance of and there's unknown like obviously there gets

1102
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: to some people just have a better gut feel of

1103
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: what works and what doesn't. And I think at different

1104
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: positions that stuff matters less. Right, Like I like my

1105
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: defensive linemen to be fucking nuts. It's not a position

1106
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: where I need Rhodes scholars. It's a position of violence.

1107
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: It's a position of I need people to be a

1108
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: little off their rocker, right, same with linebacker, Like I'm

1109
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: not looking to find Gandhi right, but as a kicker,

1110
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: long snapper and a punter like I'm not looking at

1111
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: have any problems, so your character better be zero in

1112
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: terms of like, no issues, any issues, you're gone. This

1113
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: is a long winded way of saying stuff's hard. Appreciate

1114
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: everyone listening. See you guys tomorrow after Thursday night game,

1115
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: so have a good day. Audios. The volume
