1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: What's going on, John Middle Coffee or three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: The people have demanded it here on the Colin Coward

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: podcast Network, so I'm gonna give it. We're gonna start

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: doing two podcasts, one on Tuesday, one on Friday, and

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: we'll just feel it out. Obviously Tuesday will be not

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: recapping as much, but you know, just kind of talking

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff that just happened. I mean,

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I just watched this Monday night football game. Uh, pretty

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: unreal game by Fitz Magic and Ben and very very

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: entertaining Monday night football game. Levian Bell, you're really proving

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: your point as James Conner basically ran out for the

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: win for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Like bro the fourteen and

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: a half million? Can we stop talking about Levian Bell

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: like he's not being paid at premium? How many players

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: in this league make fourteen and a half million. I'm

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: so tired of Levian Bell, the Levian Bell truthers that

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: act like he's getting screwed, that act like it's slave

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: labor and he's making five grand. They are offering him

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half million dollars. They just paid him

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: basically twelve million dollars there's almost twenty seven million dollars

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: over two years. That's I'm just gonna get that off

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: my chest. I'm not really gonna spend much time talking

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: about it, but I'm levy on build out. Like bro,

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: They're offering you a boatload of money. I'm not feeling

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: sorry for you. But today we got a lot going on. Obviously,

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Towards a C. L. Baker Mayfield has been

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: named the Star with Cleveland. Last time I talked to you,

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: that game hadn't even happened. The Baker we call him

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Ryan fitz Magic. I mean we might call him Baker Magic.

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: That that was pretty cool Khalil Mack, you know, as

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: he headed to become the m v P. And then

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: obviously the Patriots dynasty is crumbling not so fast. But

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: I gotta start with Jimmy G. Obviously, I live in

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. I have another podcast that I talked

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: about the forty Niners and Raiders a lot, So I

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: talk about Jimmy G a lot. He's important of what

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I write for the Athletic in the Bay Area. Talk

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: a lot about Jimmy G. It's a big blow, you know.

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: The forty Niners are by far the most important brand

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: for the NFL on the West coast, and since Harbaugh left,

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean obviously with Tom Seula, Chip Kelly, they were

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: a joke. Even Kyle's first ten games with Brian Hoyer unwatchable.

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy g gave them hope and unlike you know, most

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: players in the NFL usually draft a quarterback that that's

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: how you acquire the guy. The acquiring an older veteran

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees all those years ago with the Saints

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: coming off an injury. You know, it's pretty rare. Rich

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: Gannon turned his career around after he was thirty with

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: John Gruden. Again, those are anomalies. Most great quarterbacks are

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: drafted by the team. They end up having a lot

51
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: of successful you know, the Hall of Fame, high end quarterbacks,

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: which I believe. I still believe it. I definitely believed.

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't question it. But I do start to think,

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: like Jimmy G now has made ten career starts and

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: he's had major injuries in two of them. This is

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: a very, very major injury. And listen, I'm not a doctor.

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if if a c L injuries are random,

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: if it was bound to happen. I was texting someone

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: with the Niners today. He said it was pretty random. Uh,

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't like bound to pop, at least to their knowledge.

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even pretend to know, but

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: I I know this from having a team, And the

63
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: more entertaining teams the league has, the better the product is.

64
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: The more entertaining quarterbacks the league has, the better the

65
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: product is. And we thought a year ago, we're like, damn,

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: we got all these quarterbacks, Jimmy G, Car and Gruden,

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson's coming back, Mariota. Well, it turns out Mariota

68
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: is not that good. He Canty gripped the ball Deshaun

69
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Watson to train wreck in Houston. Car has become um

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: pretty average, even though he's actually played a little better

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, but a little skittish, not

72
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: comfortable in the offense. And then Jimmy, who looked like

73
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: kind of a slow start against Minnesota, but it was Minnesota. Uh,

74
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: then the week two kind of got his bearings finally

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: off to a bad start at Kansas City. Then the

76
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: second half he starts kind of rolling back to the

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy g that we knew from last year and then

78
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: as E. C. L tears and now, granted he should

79
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: have just slid or got out of bounds. But the

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: ultimate point is that the NFL as a business is

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: so dependent on just having one or two teams on

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: the West Coast being really relevant. And if they could

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: choose right now, they would pick the Niners and they

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: would pick the Rams. Luckily, the Rams are rolling in

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the very near future of the Rams are gonna own

86
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: l A. They're building a four billion dollar palace. Their

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: team is badass. They have a sexy head coach, not

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't mean like, you know, his face and his body,

89
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: just Sean McVeigh. The hype on the Sectionists though, he's

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, good looking millennial. But my point is that

91
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: they need big markets to dominate. Seattle had a cute

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: little five year run, but you know that's that's over.

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: They need San Francisco, who the forty Niners had twenty

94
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: years of dominance under Ready to bartle Low and then

95
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: the hard body years. They have proven that if you

96
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: if they're winning and you put them on national televised games,

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: they will not only rate, they will draw interest. People

98
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: will be drawn to it. And I think the Rams

99
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: are gonna, you know, kind of be like a Golden

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: State Warrior. Sensation's gonna happen overnight. It is happening overnight

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: because they're pretty unreal. But the forty Niners being now

102
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: shot because their season. Once your quarterback goes out, there

103
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: is probably down an industry in any walk of life,

104
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: in any business that is so that is more dependent

105
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: on one human, like the sport of football on the quarterback,

106
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: that if you're starting quarterback goes down, you're done. It's over,

107
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: especially in September, like cash money, see it, send it started,

108
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: start talking about the draft, and next year the season

109
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: is over. I'm not putting lipstick on a pig here.

110
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: It's done zo. But here's the problem for the NFL.

111
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Because of Jimmy g the hype, the sweet young coach,

112
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan, this historic franchise that they know when

113
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: they're good, they draw huge numbers. They gave them five

114
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: preseason games, multiple Monday night games, multiple Sunday night games,

115
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: and then obviously the Thursday night game that every team

116
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: in the league gets. But the two Sunday night games

117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: and the two Monday night games, you're locked into the

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: Monday night games. You can't get out of those Sunday

119
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: night game. I think the one game after week nine

120
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: or ten or whatever is flexible so that they'll be flexed,

121
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: so it's still gonna end up the two Monday night

122
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: games are kind of a killer. Like this is a

123
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: big blow, not just for the NFL, not just for

124
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: me personally and professionally, because the better the Niners are

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: better businesses for me and listen, I just want to watch.

126
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm no different than you guys, whatever you're I don't

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: really have a favorite team anymore once I started work

128
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: in the league. My fandom, I just root for people

129
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: like Matt Naggie. I'm rooting for Matt Naggie coach read.

130
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: I love Andy. I'm rooting for Andy. You know I'm

131
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: rooting for. I still got Howie Rosenan. I root for

132
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: his success with the Philadelphia Eagles. I know Doug I

133
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: like rooting for. I still have friends that work in

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: their organization for the Eagles, you know, I like Kyle

135
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: and John Lynch. I root for them. I thought I'd

136
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: like Grooten until he traded Khlil Mack, and then I

137
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: got a little wishy washing on him. Sean McVeigh has

138
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: made me into a believer. I like rooting for Sean McVeigh.

139
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: I love the hoodie. I like rooting for the hoodie.

140
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: You know. I just I work for people, not necessarily teams,

141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: but I do root for the health of the league.

142
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: And I'm also a West Coast guy, and we needed

143
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: this team to be relevant because the league depended on him,

144
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: and there's a randomness to it that there's nothing you

145
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: really could have done to avoid it. Maybe Jimmy could

146
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: have got out of bounds. I mean, he should have

147
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: got out of bounds, but that's not really Jimmy Garoppolo.

148
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: Part of Jimmy Garoppolo is he's a little bit of

149
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: a gun slinger. He's a little bit of a risk taker,

150
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: that's and now he's kind of injury prone. So you know,

151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: as it's a Devasta forty nine or season ended, the

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: league now has a you know, uh, primetime game problem

153
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: on their hand. And I don't really know where you

154
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 1: go from this. It's just the nature of this sport

155
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: now that has become more and more over the last

156
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: ten years quarterback dependent. The days of Bill Parcels just

157
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: being able to play defense and have a game manager.

158
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: I guess we saw it five six years ago with

159
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, the Harbaugh version. But it is so hard

160
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: to build a team like that. Uh, that is so

161
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: defensive heavy. To find a quarterback that can be a

162
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: game manager and not make that much money. They're just

163
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: outlier situations. They do not happen very often. This Jimmy

164
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: Garoppolo a c L just a devastating, devastating injury for

165
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the entire league. Let's talk about Baker Mayfield, who, I

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: guess Monday morning we all knew it. Thursday night was

167
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: officially named the starting quarterback for the Cleveland broad House,

168
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: and I've been thinking, listen. I spent the majority of

169
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: my life in Northern California, a couple of years in

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: Central California in college, but I did get and these

171
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: were a very very powerful two years in Philadelphia. It

172
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: was a complete culture change. Uh it was a eye

173
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: opening experience. I saw a city that I really enjoyed.

174
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: You know, it was a big city, but it had

175
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: a small city feel to it, has a lot of

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: character to it, and loved its sports, and obviously I

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: love sports. I worked for the Eagles. It was cool.

178
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a it was an awesome experience,

179
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: and I did learn there though, there was a level

180
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: of pessimism and negativity that surrounded the franchise. Now, they

181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: just won a super Bowl last year. They had not

182
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl in the history of the franchise.

183
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily think that anyone's wrong for being negative. Uh,

184
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: there's just just the reality of the fan base. But

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I would say Cleveland is fifty times worse because not

186
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: only have they ever one, they have been so bad

187
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: for so long that you can only get kicked when

188
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: you're down in life so many times before you eventually

189
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: just say f you to everyone. Uh, and we'd and

190
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: you just get into a negative mindset. And that's kind

191
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: of what the Cleveland brown fan base had become. And

192
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. They expected to lose, they expected

193
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: to draft bad players, they expected to screw up. If

194
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the Cleveland Browns, so if you

195
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: were going to be an individual that fixed that team,

196
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: meaning a quarterback that saved that team, you were gonna

197
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: have to be a little nutty. And Baker Mayfield, when

198
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: you look at his life resume, it actually might be

199
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: he might be crazy enough to pull this off. Because listen.

200
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Coming out of high school, he played at Westlake High

201
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: School that had produced several Division one college players to

202
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Power five conferences, scholarship guys to University of Texas, University

203
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: of Kansas, I think they had a guy to go

204
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: to Wake Forest, Virginia Tech. Guys go all over the

205
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: place like it was a It's a power in the

206
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: state of Texas. Baker Mayfield started there multiple years. No

207
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: one would offer him a scholarship. I think Mike Leach

208
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: was the only coach off from a scholarship and he

209
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: didn't want to go there, so Cliff Kingsbury lets him

210
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: walk on. He wins the job as a true freshman

211
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: wins the job. Imagine that at nineteen years old, you

212
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: have to walk on somewhere and you win the job.

213
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: And then a year later he's basically like, you ain't

214
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna play, So then he goes on, walks on and

215
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: the way he walked out in Oklahoma, Bob Stups didn't

216
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: even know who he was, didn't know he was coming Okloma.

217
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: He just showed up. They let him walk on the

218
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: first year. He just because he the transfer rules, he

219
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: had to obviously just play scout team. You know, it's

220
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: a throwaway year, did not get to play the next

221
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: year as a non scholarship player, he beat out the

222
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: incumbent and went on to start for the next years.

223
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Do you know the type balls and self belief you

224
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: have to have to do that after after getting beat

225
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: out at Texas Tech to then go to Oklahoma where

226
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: you have to sit for a year, to then end

227
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: up winning the job as a walk on. It's nunheard

228
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: of like that, that is not normal. Maybe that happens

229
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: at Cal Pauli where I went to school, not at

230
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: the University of Oklahoma, and he'd just go on and

231
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: win the job he dominated for three years. Like you

232
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: gotta be a little nutty when you take over. Like

233
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: in those situations were much you know, easier just in

234
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: terms of stability of the organization. But going into it

235
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: as a twenty year old kid, you're wired a little different.

236
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: And I do think we've all been around him. There

237
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: are people at a younger age that are just wired

238
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: a little different for whatever reason it usually has to do.

239
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just always been Baker. He's just been short,

240
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, and just no one everyone he knows looks

241
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: at him like he's not quite good enough at a

242
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: position that does value height, and he's you know, and

243
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: as we'd say in the league, he's a midget. But

244
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: you you cannot dispute that wherever he goes, he wins

245
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: and finds a way to start. They did not want

246
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: to start him in Cleveland. He came in double middle fingers.

247
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Bet your ass will be starting fast. And I mean

248
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: it did take a Tyrode concussion, but it was clear

249
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Tyrod was terrible. Big came in, boom won in the game.

250
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Short week, no reps like the way you have to

251
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: be wired to go to a place like Cleveland. Think

252
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: about whatever job you've ever been in, the most dysfunctional

253
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: part of the job, or that given company that you

254
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: work for that hopefully you left. You know, when there

255
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: is serious dysfunction in an organization, it is hard to

256
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: overcome that. It really is. That's why I it's why

257
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: I've always given Derek Carr a little bit longer of

258
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: the lease than I would other quarterbacks. It's impossible to

259
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: have success in Oakland. No one does. For the last

260
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: fifteen years, no one succeeds there. He's the one guy

261
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: that had success. He overcame it for a short period

262
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: of time. Khalil was also another outlier that overcame it.

263
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: They didn't want him though, Like it is hard to

264
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: overcome the dysfunction with the Oakland Raiders. It really is

265
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: right up the road Sacramento Kings, same fan. There are

266
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: countless probably businesses that you know in your communities that

267
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: are the same way that maybe they do kind of

268
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: well because they got name recognition, but they're not well runned,

269
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: and it's just crazy they were even able to succeed.

270
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: And for Baker, I do think he's wired and he's

271
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: just crazy enough, and he definitely is talented enough. And

272
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, just from an actual physical standpoint,

273
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: his arm strength. I watched a lot of Oklahoma. I

274
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: have a very good friend that works there, the guy

275
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: that actually got me started at football, Fresno State, Drew Hill.

276
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: He runs their recruiting and so I watched. I watched

277
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma forever, since he's been there since the Bob Stoops

278
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: era and uh for the last like he'd been there

279
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: like five years. But when Baker first started starting, I'm like,

280
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: I kind of like this guy short was kind of

281
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: a gun slinger, was good. They had a crazy comeback

282
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: against ten to see. I think his first year starting,

283
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I like this kid, but his

284
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: arm wasn't great, so I was like, I didn't think

285
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: he was a great pro prospect. Then last year his

286
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: arm improved. Like his arm strength that game on Thursday

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: night against the Jets, I mean, he's throwing babies like

288
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: Derek Carror, Jared Goff, Russell Wilson. Like his arm strength

289
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: looks high level NFL arm strength. And we know he's

290
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: really accurate, and we know he's crazy enough to think

291
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: he's good enough that he belongs here. You know that's

292
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: some guys are kind of unsure. You'd be you'd be

293
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: floored how many guys are kind of insecure a little

294
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: bit about being in the NFL. As young players, it

295
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: could be intimidating. Even when you're a highly drafted pick

296
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: from a hype from a big program, you might act

297
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: like you belong. But I've seen it. I've been around

298
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: these guys. Some of them just deep down don't really

299
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: have the self belief. Some of the great ones do immediately,

300
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: but not everyone does, even the great players. Something some

301
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: guys takes a couple of years. Baker's nuts. He thinks

302
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: he not only belongs, Like how he actually have been

303
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: the first pick. You guys were crazy? Why would you

304
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: not take me first? That's what he's telling everyone. And

305
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: then he comes in and just wins that game with

306
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: no reps. I like Baker Mayfield. I know Colin crushes him.

307
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I you, you just can't bet against really accurate quarterbacks

308
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: that anticipate did have a good field for an offense,

309
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: and have a good arm like his physical skills translate

310
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and their team is just good. They're coming to Oakland

311
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: this week. I'm actually pretty excited to watch that game.

312
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: Uh hell, I think he might light them up because

313
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: their their defense isn't very good. But just an incredible

314
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: story and it it was gonna take an incredible story

315
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: to finally get the Cleveland Browns over the hill. I mean,

316
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: it took Lebron James to get the Calves over the hill.

317
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: Lebron freaking James. That's what it took to get the

318
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Calves over the hill. It's hard to overcome this function,

319
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: but Lebron was so good he did. Like, maybe Baker

320
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: just is that guy. I mean, I know we're only

321
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: a half in, but I've liked him since the moment

322
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I saw on in Oklahoma, and he's gotten so much

323
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: better since that. I wouldn't bet against this kid. That's

324
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. I would not bet against this kid.

325
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: I think he's just wired. I think he's nuts in

326
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: a good way, in a way that's good enough to

327
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: resurrect this franchise that has a rabid fan base that

328
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: is just dying to be relevant. And let me tell you,

329
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: their teams not bad. If he plays well, keep an

330
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: eye on them for the playoffs. Have I told you

355
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: not gonna spend much time on this next guy because

356
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: it feels like I've already talked about him a lot,

357
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here,

358
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: but it really is, I mean, one of the biggest

359
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: stories in the NFL. Uh Khalil Mack. I remember Jerry

360
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: Jones said this a while back. I forget exactly it

361
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: was on a potential trade. Actually, I think it was

362
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: like when he didn't trade up for Connor Cook and

363
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: he ended up getting Dak and he was mad at himself.

364
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: Kind of worked out, but now it turns out Dock's

365
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: not that good. But the point was Jerry said, like

366
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: he was mad that he's never whenever he's wanted something

367
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: that he really wanted that he viewed as a premium,

368
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: he had to pay a premium. And he basically said,

369
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: you only get premiums when you pay a premium. That's

370
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: just part of the deal. And there's a small faction

371
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: of I think people not in the league, but you know, fans,

372
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: especially Raider fans, and maybe just fans of other NFL

373
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: teams that think that I think the Bears paid too

374
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: much and then gave him too much money. And I'm

375
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: a believer like Jerry Jones uh that you can never

376
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: really pay overpay for a premium. Now, you can overpay

377
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: for things that aren't good enough, right, you can make

378
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: terrible investments on things that are not premiums. But if

379
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: you buy something that's a premium, whether that's bay ari

380
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: or real estate, you know, whether that's I don't know,

381
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: a company, you name it, that that value to you

382
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: is worth more than it would be to other people,

383
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: or it's just worth overpaying if it's for you. Remember,

384
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: like it might have been a year ago, maybe it

385
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: was two years ago. Amazon bought Whole Foods. Whole Foods.

386
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest Whole Foods guy because whenever you

387
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: go into Whole Foods, you know, it's kind of enticing.

388
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: They actually make pretty good burritos. But I go in there,

389
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: I put a bunch of things in that little box,

390
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: and then it ends up being like twenty dollars. It

391
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like that much food. But I I've never

392
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: argued with the fact that you go there and that

393
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: place is packed. Wherever you go, whether in the Bay Area,

394
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: whether you're in l A, whether you're in Arizona, any

395
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: city you go to, the Whole Foods is jammed, Vegas, uh,

396
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: you name it, you know, Texas, wherever you go, that

397
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: Whole Foods is just popping. Well to Jeff Bezos, that

398
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: already has a distribution network and that will probably be

399
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: delivered meals, not just you know, individual items, but meals

400
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: like oh, you just want a piece of pizza and

401
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: a burrito from Whole Foods, or you want a I

402
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: don't know, chicken bowl. You'll just be able to get

403
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: that from Whole Foods like that will eventually come. He's

404
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: spent thirteen points seven billion. People thought he was crazy.

405
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: I remember that day, like the stock price went up.

406
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: He made so much money. He ended up getting it

407
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: for basically free. But to Jeff Bezos, it was worth

408
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: every penny. He'd probably tell you it's worth eighteen billion.

409
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: He would have paid. Again, the billions is just nothing

410
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: to them. It's pretty crazy when you just throw out

411
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: these numbers. But giving two first round picks and then

412
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: signing a guy to a ninety million dollar contract, even

413
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: if he is l T two point oh, which I

414
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: actually have LTS football like DV Yard on my television

415
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: right now. Hopefully, well watch it the next couple of days.

416
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: That if that's what he is, it's still a lot

417
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: to pay. You know, he better be that or else

418
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: it's not worth it. Well, I got news for you.

419
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack is that guy. Khalil Back is worth it.

420
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: He's the first guy since Khalil Mack in two thousand

421
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: sixteen to have three straight games with three straight sacks

422
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: and three straight force fumbles. Do you know what a

423
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: force fumble is? When you recover it or your team

424
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: recovers it a turnover like that's a big play. Do

425
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: you know who could die for a turnover right now?

426
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: The Raiders freaking defense. Do you know who would not

427
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: be owing three right now if they still had Khalil

428
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: Mack And they'd probably be to in one like the

429
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears are the Raiders if they still had Kalil back.

430
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: So every piece of you know, draft capital and then

431
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: actual capital they've given Khalil Mack, he's been worth it more.

432
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: There is no chance on God's green Earth that the

433
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: Bears would trade him back to the Raiders right now

434
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: for all that money back and the two first rounders.

435
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: They might tell you, God, we would have paid him

436
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: a hunter million dollars. You know, we might have thrown

437
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: an extra second round. Bick this guy and given their

438
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: team because their quarterback is not that great. Mitchell Trobisky

439
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: struggled to tad Bit and and there are defensive first teams.

440
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: They're like the poor man's version of the Jaguars. But

441
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that their defense is dominant. And he's

442
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: the lead dog. He's the lead dog in the NFL.

443
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: He is on pace. I told Colin on Monday, I

444
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: don't think it's out of the realm possibility. I would

445
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: not expect it. I think, obviously Patrick Mahomes be the

446
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: leader in the clubhouse. They win the division. I mean,

447
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: he's it's gonna be hard for him not to win

448
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: the m v P. And the season is young. A

449
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys could still win the MVP. But Khalil

450
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: Mack is gonna have his name, his names in the

451
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: hat right now. He's thrown his name in the hat

452
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: like that can't be argued. Defensive Player of the Year.

453
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: He's on the straight shot for if he stays health,

454
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna win Defensive Player of the Year. If the

455
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: Bears somehow one eleven games, could Khalil Mack be the

456
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: m v P of the league. It's not crazy unlikely. Yes,

457
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: Remember J J. Watt a couple of years ago had

458
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: a historic season. I think they went nine and seven.

459
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: He didn't win the MVP and he was catching touchdowns

460
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: that year. Again, I'm not saying, I just think it's

461
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: on the table. And if you watch the Bears, which

462
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm a Matt Naggy guy, I'm a sneaky Bears fan

463
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: now that he's the head coach, and especially because they

464
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: got Khalil you know, arguably my favorite player just to

465
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 1: watch in the NFL. Why, I don't know. I just

466
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: like six ft three, sixty pound badasses, you know that

467
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: caused fumbles and get sacked the quarterback. I just like

468
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: those guys. I like LT, like Reggie White. Uh you know,

469
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: I like Von Miller, I like Cleil mclis. Just type

470
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: players I like. I don't know because Gruden doesn't. But

471
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: every single penny that they spent on this was worth it.

472
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: They might look at it immediately like they got a

473
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: discount sometimes unless I've never done crazy, big business deals,

474
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: but I've overextended myself sometimes, and if it was the

475
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: right deal, I always felt confident that, like five days later,

476
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about it. You don't feel good

477
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: about it. You're like, God, I would have spent more

478
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: looking back, And that's what Khalil Mack is. He's that

479
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: investment that you're like, I would have paid more of

480
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: a premium to get this premium on my side, to

481
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: have this guy on my team, to have this guy

482
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: in my building, to build my franchise around this guy.

483
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: And on defense, there aren't that many of them, right.

484
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: There's the Von Miller's Aaron Donald Khalil Mack, like there

485
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: there is a Luke Kickley was several years ago. Earl

486
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: Thomas was several years ago. Like there's a small percentage

487
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: of players and actually are and he's one of them.

488
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: And it's just one of the all time great buys.

489
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: It was expensive, but it was worth every freaking penny

490
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: from the McCaskey family, from Ryan Pace. Uh, you know,

491
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: for the Bears to be aggressive, kudos to them. Hat

492
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: tip deserves to go to them daily because that's what

493
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: this that's what pro sports about, that's what business is about.

494
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: Be aggressive, but your balls on the table, but all

495
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: the chips in the middle of the table. Every once

496
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: in a while, if you want to get anywhere in life,

497
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: you can sit in the slow lane, you can hop

498
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: in the fast lane, put the pedal to the metal

499
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: and see what happens. And you know what Ryan Past

500
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: and the Charago Bears in that two years in a row. Now,

501
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: I didn't love it when they did with Miss Robiski,

502
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: I would never have taken a number two, but I

503
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: get the thought process of it. Again, I would not

504
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: have taken him to but say one thing for Ryan Pace.

505
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: They dude, have some stones to do some balls. He's

506
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: not afraid to wheel and deal. You know, he's not

507
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: afraid to throw it all on the table. And a

508
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: lot of guys just in general, are not. They want

509
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: to stay in the slow lane that they'll never like.

510
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: Hey man, you want to investors. No, no, we gotta

511
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: get my three returns. You know, no different Ryan Pace

512
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: could have. Just you know, we got a pretty good defense.

513
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: We got Mitchell. You know we're gonna have some cap space. No,

514
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: here's my two first rounders and here's ninety million. Give

515
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: me the best defensive player in the league. Let's go

516
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: kick ass and take names there, two and one right now.

517
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: And part of the reason John Gruden gave Khalil Mack

518
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: to them because he thought they were the worst team

519
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: of all the teams coming at They thought that their

520
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: draft picks would be the worst. Well, even with Mitchell

521
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: being terrible and he was god awful against the Cardinals,

522
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: he looks like he's you know, swimming a little bit

523
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: in this new offense. I mean, what are they at worse?

524
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: Seven and nine, eight and eight, nine and seven, Who knows?

525
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if Mitchell can kind of get his stuff together,

526
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: why why why couldn't they win ten games? They're good,

527
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: They're really good on defense. They got legit running backs,

528
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: they have weapons on offense, quarterbacks question mark. But with

529
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack getting sacks and forced fumbles and interceptions every game,

530
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 1: they are not going away. So kudos are the Bears

531
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: for paying a premium for the most premium player in

532
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 1: the league. I'm not gonna spend much time on this

533
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: because I don't even think it deserves much time to

534
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: be spent on. Uh. I know a lot of people

535
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: viewed the Patriot roster this year is down and you know,

536
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: not great, and I I got news for everyone that

537
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: their roster hasn't really been good the last like seven years.

538
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, I mean Brady, you know, a younger Gronk

539
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: before he got nailed for killing people. Hernandez was really good.

540
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Malcolm Butler was solid. He was never a

541
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: great player. High Tower was kind of a positionless guy.

542
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: But they have never had one of the top five

543
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: rosters in the league. Besides, you know, really Brady and Kronk,

544
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: that's not what they're built on. They're built on Brady

545
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: and they're built on Belichick. They outthink you. They find

546
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: a way, they adapt, they change, and all these people

547
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: and listen, I know Colin and just most national hosts,

548
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: the roster was sucks and this was the year. And listen,

549
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: if you just judge the Patriots by their roster, you'd

550
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: write them off basically every year. I know who I

551
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: don't write off the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick and

552
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't care how bad and how poorly

553
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: they play in September. I do not care because here's

554
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: why I know this year. Their defense. Actually, I know

555
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: they played bad against the Lions, but got news for

556
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: the Lions offense is not bad. And the Lions had

557
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: to win that game. They were owing to, you know,

558
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: fighting for their livelihood. So the Patriots are one and two.

559
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: They get Julian Edelman, who is their best wide receiver

560
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: back in two weeks. They will find some role for

561
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon or they will cut him. But you just

562
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: think that like the Patriots are just gonna have a

563
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: down year. No, Belichick is a better coach than every

564
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: coach that he's gonna coach against this season. Tom Brady

565
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: is a better quarterback than every quarterback they're gonna play

566
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: against the season Sony Michelle who hasn't looked good, they

567
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: will figure out a way to use them, or they'll

568
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: just go claim a guy in a practice squad and

569
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: they'll make him inactive, like Belichick. Ain't just gonna keep

570
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: ramming him down his throat, you know, you know, in

571
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: terms of like, ain't just gonna keep playing him if

572
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: he's not getting it done. She was a first round pick.

573
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: He does not care. I just know the Patriots to me,

574
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: like when when I think, just like American business. To me,

575
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: they've easily been the most consistent for the last twenty

576
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: years with like Apple, I'm recording this right now, and

577
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: an Apple computer I have. I'm looking at an iPad

578
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: and I got an iPhone in my lap, Like Apple's

579
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: just not going away anytime soon. McDonald's people are like

580
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: I remember, people want to write off McDonald's. You know

581
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: the health craze. What do they do? They adapted and

582
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: can get healthy stuff there. I'm in a pinch. I'll

583
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: go get like a chicken grilled chicken wrap. If I

584
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: need coffee, I'll go get a coffee in the morning, oatmeal,

585
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Like you can need healthy there, you can eat dirty,

586
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: you can get coffee. I mean, it's really more efficient

587
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: than Starbucks. I don't know if you've been a Starbucks lately,

588
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: but all their mobile orders that if you go at

589
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: the wrong time, you you end up waiting twenty minutes.

590
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: Because that they're one of the most inefficient business is going.

591
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: I would short Starbucks long term. I would not short

592
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I'm just not betting against Bill Belichick now.

593
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: If he retires, then I'll talk. Even if Tom Brady leaves,

594
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: like I think they could find a way to land

595
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: a serviceable quarterback and compete. He's again, he's a better

596
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: ex's nose coach than every coach he's playing against. He

597
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: just is, you know, he just is better at his

598
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: job than every single person he's going up against. It's

599
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: just just like Apple, they got better ship, you know,

600
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: their their computer just for doing what I'm doing. It's

601
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: just better. And I've never been an Apple guy. So

602
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I bought this mac Book Pro or whatever it is.

603
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: It's sweet. You never go back. I remember seeing the

604
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: iPads back when they were really expensive, like how this

605
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: look pretty cool? They came down in price, remember getting one?

606
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: They're badass. Everyone has an iPhone for a reason, Like

607
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: everyone should bet on the Patriots. Why because the end

608
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: of the year they'll have eleven, twelve, thirteen wins, they'll

609
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: be a one or two seed, and they'll be in

610
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: the an FC Championship. Now, they don't win the super

611
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: Bowl every year. Hell, they don't even get to the

612
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl every year. They do make the playoffs every year.

613
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Go to the Football Reference and check out the newing

614
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots for last fifteen years to hell, twenty years.

615
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: All they do is win, They find a way. Their

616
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: rosters were actually better in the two thousand's than they've

617
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: been past two thousand, ten, ten eleven. They had some

618
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: pretty good teams because they had her name and as

619
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: in a young Gronk in West Welker that they were

620
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: really dynamic. But these teams the last four or five

621
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: years have not been great. They have not been great.

622
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: Bill outthinks you. Tom Out thinks you they will find

623
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: a way. So this doom and gloom, I ain't doing it.

624
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: I've even gone too long. I didn't plan on. I

625
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: plan on talking for a couple of minutes on this

626
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: because just stupid. Again. He misses on draft picks all

627
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: the time. It does not matter. He misses on trades,

628
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: all the time. He just cuts guy. It doesn't matter.

629
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't operate like a normal NFL team. He's a

630
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: GM coach that they're just in a different little world

631
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: because he can be He's just better at his job.

632
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: He's been doing it for forty years. If you watched

633
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: the sting of Night Game said, he still gets a

634
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: a a Christmas card from the Ford family. He's like,

635
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: it's the I don't know if he might have been lying,

636
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: but I remember she gave a Thunderbird win in like

637
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six. Nineteen seventy six his first year coach.

638
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: He was nineteen seventy five eight five thou two fifteen.

639
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: That's forty years in itself. He's been coaching in the

640
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: NFL for like forty three years. I mean, Bill Belichick's

641
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: seen at all seen every player see like Kenny Stabler

642
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: on tape, and he's seeing Khalil Mack on tape and

643
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: every player in between. His knowledge of what he's doing

644
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: is just stupid. I mean, it really is. He's just

645
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: better at it than everyone else. Just like I mean, again,

646
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fast food guy trying to be healthy,

647
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: but I can be healthy if I want to go

648
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: to McDonald's, want to get breakfast. McDonald's got good breakfast,

649
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: got good coffee, more fishing than the Starbucks. I wouldn't

650
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: bet against McDonald's. They've had some down years. Apple had

651
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: some down years and they fire Steve Job back in

652
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: late nineties. Else then Steve Job passed away. Have a

653
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: skipped a beat with Tim Cook. I don't know if

654
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: it would be that seamless like Belichick Josh mccannicals. I

655
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: would not say it would be as seamless as Apple was.

656
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: But as long as Bill is there, I would say

657
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: Billy even more than Tom. I'm a Tom guy. I

658
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: think he's the greatest quarterback about threat. But Belichick's around,

659
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 1: They'll be just fine. Okay, let's get into the middle

660
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: cough mail bag. I think the way I'm gonna do

661
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: this moving forward is just through Instagram. Just slide into

662
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: my Instagram d M s at John Middlecoff and I'll

663
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: answer your questions there. I'm a little behind. I think

664
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: I've answered them all on iTunes. It's just probably gonna

665
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: be easier this way, and I check it more oft

666
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: than just let's do this so, Adam, I would love

667
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts on Belichick and his defense. This

668
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: is kind of good timing here between the super Bowl

669
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: and yesterday's lackluster performance against Blake and Company. Is actually

670
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: a week old uh with four net out. I think

671
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 1: he deserves some major criticism. Is that fair to say?

672
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: And do you believe he's getting too many passes for

673
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: bad performances. I feel like he has talked about as

674
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: a god and maybe he is deserving. He is deserving,

675
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, check his resume, but lately it's been ugly.

676
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: Despite Tom's continued success on offense, I think his he

677
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: hasn't drafted that well. They don't have difference makers on defense.

678
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: When you watched them, and I'm recording this the day

679
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: after the Sunny Night game, you saw Floor as the

680
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator who's calling the defense right by Bill,

681
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: and Bills just kind of letting him do it, like

682
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: Bill's not calling the defense though he's kind of telling

683
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: him what the dude during the week. I do think

684
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: their personnel stinks. They do not have a great pass rusher.

685
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: But the one thing I've heard and I remember reading

686
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: Bilichick saying this a long time ago, and he's right,

687
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: and this is the reason that they get it done

688
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Like the NFL, it's overrated how many

689
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: yards you give up if you don't give up points,

690
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: that's the point of the game. So you could give

691
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: up six hundred yards a game. But if you're, you know,

692
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: averaging in the top fifteen of points allowed per game,

693
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in good shape. Like if you're only

694
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: allowing twenty points. Let's say you're in the middle of

695
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: the pack, but you're lasting yards at the end of

696
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: the year, that's fine. I think yards. He can overvalue yards,

697
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: yards per play all that bs. It's about scoring. When

698
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: you get to the red zone, do I stop you

699
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: and force you to kick field goals? Do I not

700
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: let you score touchdowns? And at the end of the

701
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: day in big games, Belichick has figured out more often

702
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: than not to do that. So yeah, the regular season

703
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: is defense can look terrible, I mean god awful. And

704
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: it's not like they had a butt Khalil Mack and

705
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: you know Patrick Peterson, Luke Keickley run around out there.

706
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: They typically have mccordy solid. That's that's about it. It's

707
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: I don't love many players on their defense. Never been

708
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: a big Gilmore guy. But yeah, I think he gets

709
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: a pass. Why because he's got five rings, he's been

710
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: to the last how many Super Bowls? Yeah, I know

711
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: the defense lets him down, but I mean I think

712
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: he's proven when you when he has good defensive players,

713
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: he kicks ass on defense. From back in the eighties

714
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: with lt TO, I mean in Cleveland they had good

715
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: defenses too. Then when he first got to the Patriots

716
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: and they had good defenses that I think the league

717
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: has just changed and he changes with it. He adapts.

718
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: He's a chameleon. So does he deserve some crap? Yeah,

719
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's not. The GM of him lets himself

720
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: down more. But I think at the end of the day,

721
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: him winning and him getting it done in big games

722
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: and consistently winning playoff games is the reason he gets

723
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: a pass. And that's at the end of the day,

724
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: like winning, losing some game to the Jaguars in mid

725
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: September is meaningless if he beats them in January. I

726
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: mean last year, with all the chips on the line,

727
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: he beat them. He beat them when it mattered. They

728
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: just beat him when it did not matter. So I

729
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know what to take of it. I mean, the

730
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars should be better in theory, but they're just not.

731
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet against the Patriots playing the Jaguars. Okay,

732
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: let's get to uh, let get to this one. I

733
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: do have a question that I was wondering if you

734
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: have an opinion on I got opinions. There seems to

735
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: be rumors that Sashi Brown wasn't a good GM former

736
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: GM of the Browns as people make it out to be.

737
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: Apparently a good number of people think that he boughts

738
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: the A. J. McCarron trade on purpose last year because

739
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: the second round pick for him wasn't good value. Do

740
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: you know if any of this is true? I always

741
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: imagine it was true. I don't know anyone with the

742
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Brown so I've never been told one way or the other.

743
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: Like I don't have an inside source. I do think

744
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: Sashy brought a Sam Hinky like feel to it, and

745
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: there are some Sashy truthers on social media. My only

746
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: hesitation would be is they needed a guy like John

747
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: Dorsey with all these picks, because like, would you have

748
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: trusted Sashi with the first and fourth pick to make

749
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: those picks? Like it looks like Baker Mayfield that took

750
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: some balls that took you know, a big time GM

751
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: to make that decision. It wasn't easy to make it.

752
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have made it. I would take Sam Donald,

753
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: but John Dorsey didn't. John Dorsey is prettydamn good at

754
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: his job. Who does Sashy Brown take? Maybe he takes

755
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield? I doubt it. What if he takes Josh Allen?

756
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: What if it four he takes? I don't know. I

757
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: don't even know, you know, so I I do think

758
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Sashi there were elements of his job understanding value. If

759
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: he did botch the a J McCarron picked for a

760
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: second Kudo's damp because Aji McCarron should never be traded

761
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: for a second. Hell, I would trade anything for Aji McCarron.

762
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: Gruden trading you know, fifth rounder for him was crazy.

763
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: But my big issue with Sashi is that eventually there

764
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: was gonna come a time when you have all these picks,

765
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: can you make the right pick? And that was the

766
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: problem with Sam Hinky, Like, yeah, he got Ben Simmons,

767
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: My mom could pick Ben Simmons. When he had to

768
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: make some tough picks. He took Noel one year, uh

769
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: the other in the next year, he took the okaffer

770
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: from Duke who was a dinosaur in this league. So

771
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: it's like I didn't even trust Sam Hinky to make

772
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: the picks. Could he tank? Yeah? Like Daryl Morey, I

773
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: trust Daryl Morey to make a draft pick. Bob Meyers,

774
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: I trust Bob Meyers to make a draft pick. Can't?

775
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: Will they tank? I don't know if they'd be great

776
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: at tanking. I think anyone could tank, if that's what

777
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: you tell the number one one operative in the building.

778
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, the number one our number one goal is

779
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: to lose. Any GM could figure that out. But can

780
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: any GM pick the right players? You know? I don't know.

781
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: And I that's where I will never ever agree that

782
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: Sashi Brown would be able to figure out that eventually

783
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: with all these picks? Could he have picked the right players?

784
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: And I I doubt the Browns would have been in

785
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: the position they were in with him? Okay, keV Kevo.

786
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: Following your podcast, I thought to ask you a question.

787
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: Good work, by the way, I appreciate it. Most of

788
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: I could have happened of these two scenarios Patriots. First,

789
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings, I mean the Vikings just lost the Buffalo

790
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: Bills and Josh Allen or the Rams versus the Chiefs.

791
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Predicting good health obviously got you. It's a good one. Uh.

792
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: I just said, I'm not betting against the Patriots. The Vikings,

793
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: I still think are one of the best teams in

794
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: the league. They just had a weird game. Here's a prediction,

795
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: and I guess most of you you guys are gonna listen

796
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: to this before the Thursday night game. I do think

797
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings beat the Ramps. It's just one of those,

798
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, It's just I'm going out there on a

799
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: limb a little bit because they gotta play in l

800
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: a short week. But Mike Zimmer's team usually bounced back.

801
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: It's a much bigger game for the Vikings than it

802
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: is the Rams. I would say I would probably lean

803
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Patriots and Vikings just because when you look at the

804
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: Vikings what they do really well. Again in theory, they

805
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: just did it terribly against the uh against the Bills

806
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: defense travels, and I'm not bett against Belichick and Brady.

807
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: My one problem would be with the Chiefs is that

808
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: like in January, especially like if they were the one

809
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: or two seed, it gets really cold. Mahomes throwing deep

810
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill gets a little more difficult. But they

811
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: do have a good running back. But their defense is

812
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: very good. So if it gets to a position where

813
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: they just can't play a shootout game where the game

814
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the low twenties, can their defense

815
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: make enough plays. They're just not good enough. All their

816
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: talent is on offense, you know, they just don't have

817
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: talent on defense, and I it wouldn't shot me at all.

818
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: Off the Rams were in the Super Bowl. Jared Goff

819
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal this year. The team which just looks

820
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 1: really good, well coached, I enjoy with. Like watching the Rams,

821
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: I I think the Chiefs are gonna be a little

822
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: bit more of a regular season team, like I think

823
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you see that in the NBA Houston really before

824
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: this year they actually gave the Warriors a pretty good run,

825
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: but like the last several years, they were much more

826
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: built for the end of the regular season because you

827
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: do have to play defense. And historically Andy Reid's teams

828
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: in Philly, they're really good teams, played really good defense,

829
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: all those Jim Johnson teams. It's a little different now,

830
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: which is fine for the regular season, but it's just

831
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Andy would tell you this. You gotta get stops,

832
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: you gotta make plays on defense in the playoffs because

833
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: the game you're you're not in thirty five to thirty

834
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: seven shootouts. That's just not the way the games played.

835
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: Maybe one of your three playoff games, but more than

836
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: likely you're just kind of a knockdown, drag out slug fest.

837
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's where I wouldn't trust the Chiefs this year.

838
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: I guarantee this offseason they go big game hunting for

839
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: some difference makers on defense. And he has a history

840
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: of landing and just going after good free agents, and

841
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: I think they'll be aggressive in the free agent market

842
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: to get defensive players. So that's what they need. They're

843
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: they're loaded on offense. I mean, if Tyree Hill went down,

844
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: who cares? I got Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelsey. Travis

845
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: Kelsey goes down, who cares? I got Tyreek Hill and

846
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and Kareem Hunt and their fullback. Sure, it's good.

847
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: They're just really good and the quarterbacks looks like a superstar.

848
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: So I would probably lean Patriots Vikings even though the

849
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: Patriots are one and two, the Vikings are one one

850
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: and one. Chiefs for three and oh and the and

851
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: the rams with three and O. So you know, based

852
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: off you know, two weeks, uh or three weeks, you

853
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: might say I'm crazy, But again, we'll do this Middlecoff

854
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: mail bag moving forward on Instagram. So slide up into

855
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: my d M s at John Middlecoff and I will

856
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: answer him that way. I'm gonna start doing these podcasts

857
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: Tuesdays and Fridays. I think the game plan you never know,

858
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: we may change, but as of right now, define this

859
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: week Tuesday, Friday, and we'll just keep it swinging. I

860
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: know more people wanted more three and out. I got

861
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot of football going on. I got a lot

862
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: of football takes. I mean, hell, I could do some

863
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: college football takes maybe later in the week. Uh. Talk

864
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert, who looked I'll give him a little

865
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail back question to myself. The Oregon quarterback looks fantastic. Uh,

866
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: you can basically, you know, put it in stone right

867
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: now that that guy is going you never know. I'd

868
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: say he's a lock to go in the top three

869
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: if he comes out like I It's hard to say

870
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: lock quarterback one because you've seen how Baker Mayfield went

871
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: last year. Now, there's not a Baker Mayfield in this

872
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: quarterback class. But you know someone loves Drew lock. Who knows,

873
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: But this kid is going really high. He is really

874
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: really talented. You can tell he has all the physical attributes.

875
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: Uh he was I was sick and I fell asleep

876
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter when the when Oregon fell apart.

877
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: But the part of the game that I witnessed, he

878
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: was excellent. He looks like a big time NFL player.

879
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch him play more. That's the guy

880
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: that I hadn't really made a effort to watch. Uh.

881
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: Now with Saturday's come around, I'm finding where what what
