What's good everybody. This is the 4 00:00:22,286 --> 00:00:29,486 Speaker 2: l Huddle podcast where we amplify, unify those Latino voices 5 00:00:29,606 --> 00:00:33,686 Speaker 2: of die hard NFL fans like yourselves. I'm will Saliva 6 00:00:33,886 --> 00:00:39,766 Speaker 2: alongside my Irmana, my Prima, my Prima Ermana, and Jacasa Ruiz, 7 00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:43,526 Speaker 2: who's fresh off a trip to South Africa where you 8 00:00:43,566 --> 00:00:47,086 Speaker 2: were adoring wine and you were and you were adoring 9 00:00:47,086 --> 00:00:48,206 Speaker 2: more wine and. 10 00:00:50,246 --> 00:00:54,046 Speaker 1: That was the main plotline on the area, wine and 11 00:00:54,086 --> 00:00:54,766 Speaker 1: more wine. 12 00:00:54,846 --> 00:00:56,966 Speaker 3: I missed you though, Will I miss miss you too? 13 00:00:57,686 --> 00:01:00,166 Speaker 1: I have so many stories, it's insane. I think I'm 14 00:01:00,206 --> 00:01:03,966 Speaker 1: still processing the trip, but I also knew, like towards 15 00:01:04,046 --> 00:01:06,086 Speaker 1: the end, like the last couple days, I'm like, damn, 16 00:01:06,326 --> 00:01:08,686 Speaker 1: this is it. This is like the final hurrah of 17 00:01:08,726 --> 00:01:11,366 Speaker 1: the summer because the moment I get back, literally I 18 00:01:11,406 --> 00:01:15,006 Speaker 1: got back Sunday and Tuesday training camp started. So it 19 00:01:15,046 --> 00:01:17,366 Speaker 1: was sort of a quick switch to get back into 20 00:01:17,366 --> 00:01:19,686 Speaker 1: the swing of things, but a great way to sort 21 00:01:19,726 --> 00:01:22,766 Speaker 1: of cap off the summer. I learned so much over there. 22 00:01:22,966 --> 00:01:25,366 Speaker 1: There's a ton to still process in my mind and 23 00:01:25,446 --> 00:01:27,486 Speaker 1: in my heart, but we have a whole season to 24 00:01:27,566 --> 00:01:29,686 Speaker 1: unpack those things as we go throughout the year. So 25 00:01:29,726 --> 00:01:30,566 Speaker 1: don't you guys worry. 26 00:01:30,886 --> 00:01:35,286 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, I just merely went to San Diego. 27 00:01:35,366 --> 00:01:36,526 Speaker 3: And San Diego. 28 00:01:36,806 --> 00:01:40,726 Speaker 2: I went to San Diego and the kids did parasailing 29 00:01:40,966 --> 00:01:45,646 Speaker 2: and they were petrified, but they enjoyed it to no end. 30 00:01:45,686 --> 00:01:49,006 Speaker 2: And also had those California burritos with the French fries 31 00:01:49,046 --> 00:01:52,646 Speaker 2: in there, and it reminded me of our conversation with Rodrigo, 32 00:01:53,046 --> 00:01:56,566 Speaker 2: Malcolm Rodriguez, right, and we asked him and he was 33 00:01:57,046 --> 00:02:01,806 Speaker 2: definitely into it. So definitely different experiences. But it feels 34 00:02:01,846 --> 00:02:05,166 Speaker 2: like we're both recharged and we're ready to dive and 35 00:02:05,446 --> 00:02:14,046 Speaker 2: let us do breaking news. Who let's go all right 36 00:02:14,246 --> 00:02:16,806 Speaker 2: dig it in the face of the charges, franchise now 37 00:02:16,846 --> 00:02:21,126 Speaker 2: has a new contract to MJ Justin Herbert inking five year, 38 00:02:21,206 --> 00:02:24,966 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty two point five million dollar deal. 39 00:02:25,006 --> 00:02:28,126 Speaker 2: They'll make him the highest paid QB in the NFL 40 00:02:28,166 --> 00:02:31,886 Speaker 2: by average salary. What was your reaction when you first 41 00:02:31,926 --> 00:02:32,766 Speaker 2: heard this news? 42 00:02:34,286 --> 00:02:35,646 Speaker 3: Why are you trying to get me in trouble on 43 00:02:35,686 --> 00:02:36,526 Speaker 3: the first day back for. 44 00:02:36,726 --> 00:02:38,686 Speaker 2: Oh wow, I don't know, I don't know. This is 45 00:02:38,726 --> 00:02:40,166 Speaker 2: a misleading question. 46 00:02:41,046 --> 00:02:45,806 Speaker 1: Okay, hear me out and for popular opinion, but we 47 00:02:45,926 --> 00:02:53,166 Speaker 1: keep it real, okay, okay. I think that Justin Herbert 48 00:02:53,286 --> 00:02:57,206 Speaker 1: is a tremendous talent, unbelievable talent. And the way that 49 00:02:57,326 --> 00:03:00,806 Speaker 1: things move in this league, if everybody's resetting the market, 50 00:03:01,046 --> 00:03:04,046 Speaker 1: the next guy up is going to get a little 51 00:03:04,046 --> 00:03:06,086 Speaker 1: bit higher than the This is just how it works. 52 00:03:06,126 --> 00:03:10,246 Speaker 1: And I understand that. And also congrats to Herbert. Good 53 00:03:10,246 --> 00:03:13,206 Speaker 1: for you, boy, get your bag back up. The brings 54 00:03:13,246 --> 00:03:16,166 Speaker 1: Drucks super happy for you. Never here to stop anybody's payday. 55 00:03:16,166 --> 00:03:19,286 Speaker 1: How do I think that he should be getting paid 56 00:03:19,326 --> 00:03:23,926 Speaker 1: more than Jalen Hurts for example? Absolutely not. What have 57 00:03:24,046 --> 00:03:26,366 Speaker 1: you done for me lately? Yes, first playoff appearance last 58 00:03:26,366 --> 00:03:28,486 Speaker 1: season after what's in twenty eighteen and it was. 59 00:03:28,486 --> 00:03:32,886 Speaker 2: A collapse, thank you, although it shouldn't all be put 60 00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,446 Speaker 2: on his show, No, no. 61 00:03:34,206 --> 00:03:37,126 Speaker 3: No, absolutely fair. But my point is. 62 00:03:39,126 --> 00:03:42,806 Speaker 1: I just don't think it's apples to apples with the 63 00:03:42,846 --> 00:03:45,606 Speaker 1: production and what we've seen so far. I also think 64 00:03:45,646 --> 00:03:48,446 Speaker 1: whatever and that's however, in that same breath that we've 65 00:03:48,446 --> 00:03:51,206 Speaker 1: only seen the surface of Justin Herbert, like, he is 66 00:03:51,326 --> 00:03:54,646 Speaker 1: phenomenal and he's just getting started. So I do think 67 00:03:54,886 --> 00:03:57,566 Speaker 1: that what's to come for him, and hopefully especially now 68 00:03:57,606 --> 00:04:00,486 Speaker 1: after this huge payday, will be even greater and we'll 69 00:04:00,486 --> 00:04:02,686 Speaker 1: see him with a deep playoff run, and that this 70 00:04:02,766 --> 00:04:03,886 Speaker 1: Bolts team could get there. 71 00:04:03,926 --> 00:04:04,646 Speaker 3: But have I seen it? 72 00:04:05,446 --> 00:04:07,246 Speaker 1: Have I seen two hundred and sixty two point five 73 00:04:07,326 --> 00:04:10,006 Speaker 1: million dollars worth many score bus? 74 00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:15,046 Speaker 2: I don't know that's right. I agree with a lot 75 00:04:15,086 --> 00:04:17,926 Speaker 2: of what you're saying. If you look at the quarterbacks 76 00:04:18,006 --> 00:04:20,726 Speaker 2: right now, and who obviously is next in line is 77 00:04:20,766 --> 00:04:24,246 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, who will be the highest paid player in 78 00:04:24,326 --> 00:04:26,966 Speaker 2: the NFL, not just the highest paid quarterback, the highest played, 79 00:04:27,926 --> 00:04:31,686 Speaker 2: highest paid player in the NFL. And he led the 80 00:04:31,726 --> 00:04:35,446 Speaker 2: team to a Super Bowl run, just like Jalen Hurts 81 00:04:35,446 --> 00:04:37,766 Speaker 2: who led his team to a Super Bowl. Now you 82 00:04:37,806 --> 00:04:41,006 Speaker 2: get into the nitty gritty of who who is in 83 00:04:41,046 --> 00:04:43,446 Speaker 2: the pecking order of quarterbacks, well, it's got to be 84 00:04:43,766 --> 00:04:47,926 Speaker 2: Mahomes first. He's the obvious one. He's won multiple Super Bowls, 85 00:04:47,926 --> 00:04:52,486 Speaker 2: has incredible talent. Then is Josh Allen right behind him, 86 00:04:52,486 --> 00:04:55,366 Speaker 2: even though he hasn't won a Super Bowl or taken 87 00:04:55,406 --> 00:04:58,486 Speaker 2: his team to a Super Bowl. He can run, he 88 00:04:58,566 --> 00:05:01,686 Speaker 2: can pass, He's dynamic with the ball in his hands. 89 00:05:02,326 --> 00:05:05,886 Speaker 2: Do you then put Joe Burrow third, That's where I 90 00:05:05,926 --> 00:05:09,926 Speaker 2: would slot him. I would slot him over. I believe 91 00:05:10,526 --> 00:05:14,686 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts and even Lamar Jackson. Now, Lamar Jackson's won 92 00:05:14,766 --> 00:05:17,886 Speaker 2: an MVP, but what concerns me about Lamar Jackson is 93 00:05:17,926 --> 00:05:20,846 Speaker 2: his playing style and his health. But at least he 94 00:05:20,926 --> 00:05:23,366 Speaker 2: has won a playoff game and Justin Herbert has not. 95 00:05:24,166 --> 00:05:28,126 Speaker 2: But his talent is tantalizing. As soon as he made 96 00:05:28,206 --> 00:05:32,086 Speaker 2: that throw against the Giants where he was getting rushed 97 00:05:32,526 --> 00:05:37,366 Speaker 2: off balanced dart way downfield and our Daniel Jeremiah has 98 00:05:37,406 --> 00:05:42,606 Speaker 2: his hands clasped on his head and says, that is 99 00:05:43,086 --> 00:05:45,566 Speaker 2: the best pass that I've ever seen. That is his 100 00:05:45,886 --> 00:05:49,966 Speaker 2: job to evaluate quarterbacks like him, and for him to 101 00:05:50,006 --> 00:05:52,566 Speaker 2: say that at that point in time, that's when the 102 00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:55,966 Speaker 2: Chargers said, Okay, we got to pay this guy. We 103 00:05:56,086 --> 00:05:57,646 Speaker 2: have to pay him what he means. 104 00:05:58,486 --> 00:06:01,246 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the evaluation of this young quarterback 105 00:06:01,286 --> 00:06:04,966 Speaker 1: is spot on. I just I hope that someday in 106 00:06:05,006 --> 00:06:08,526 Speaker 1: my life someone invests in me and based on my 107 00:06:08,646 --> 00:06:11,806 Speaker 1: potential the way that the Chargers have on just In Herbert. 108 00:06:13,126 --> 00:06:15,366 Speaker 1: This is phenomenal for him. And I do think that 109 00:06:15,446 --> 00:06:18,766 Speaker 1: if anything else here's my biggest concern, what does this 110 00:06:18,886 --> 00:06:22,166 Speaker 1: mean for the rest of the roster, because I think 111 00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:25,566 Speaker 1: what we've seen with the Chargers team is that, unfortunately 112 00:06:25,606 --> 00:06:29,086 Speaker 1: they have been riddled with injuries year after year after year. 113 00:06:29,126 --> 00:06:31,006 Speaker 1: So at some point we're gonna have to get to 114 00:06:31,046 --> 00:06:33,566 Speaker 1: a point where you really invest in another key player 115 00:06:33,606 --> 00:06:36,326 Speaker 1: that's going to be sustainable and long term and reliable. 116 00:06:36,566 --> 00:06:38,766 Speaker 1: For just In Herbert to continue to throw to right, 117 00:06:39,006 --> 00:06:40,846 Speaker 1: we are and we'll get to the running back situation 118 00:06:40,926 --> 00:06:41,526 Speaker 1: in a minute. 119 00:06:42,046 --> 00:06:43,566 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's next on the Dockum. 120 00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:48,566 Speaker 1: It's it's like, if you're paying this guy such top 121 00:06:48,606 --> 00:06:52,126 Speaker 1: heavy and again, you got to pay your QB, especially 122 00:06:52,126 --> 00:06:53,766 Speaker 1: if you want to keep them. And if we're talking 123 00:06:53,806 --> 00:06:56,086 Speaker 1: about the top qbs in the league, I think just 124 00:06:56,126 --> 00:06:59,366 Speaker 1: In Herbert is definitely in the conversation. So you know, 125 00:06:59,446 --> 00:07:01,846 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, props to him and 126 00:07:01,846 --> 00:07:06,446 Speaker 1: his agent get thatsh money. But here we go with 127 00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:09,646 Speaker 1: the running backs because I mean Austin Eckler at the 128 00:07:09,686 --> 00:07:11,086 Speaker 1: top of the list of the guys that were like, 129 00:07:11,166 --> 00:07:15,086 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? And the list continues. They have 130 00:07:15,166 --> 00:07:18,526 Speaker 1: expressed their displeasure with the money and contracts being offered 131 00:07:18,526 --> 00:07:21,166 Speaker 1: to them. This is on the complete opposite end of 132 00:07:21,246 --> 00:07:25,326 Speaker 1: the spectrum. Saquon Barkley finally figured it out to a 133 00:07:25,326 --> 00:07:28,086 Speaker 1: place where he felt comfortable enough to say, fine, I 134 00:07:28,166 --> 00:07:30,766 Speaker 1: won't make you guys depressed for the whole season by 135 00:07:30,766 --> 00:07:31,406 Speaker 1: not showing up. 136 00:07:31,566 --> 00:07:33,526 Speaker 3: I'll sign a one year deal eleven million. 137 00:07:33,566 --> 00:07:35,406 Speaker 1: I think he's the first guy since Edwin James back 138 00:07:35,406 --> 00:07:37,566 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five who was able to rework 139 00:07:37,646 --> 00:07:42,766 Speaker 1: that franchise tag. Then there's Josh Jacobs remains without a contract. 140 00:07:43,206 --> 00:07:45,606 Speaker 1: But it's interesting that Saquon found a way to figure 141 00:07:45,646 --> 00:07:49,686 Speaker 1: it out. And again, that was a very specific situation 142 00:07:49,806 --> 00:07:52,806 Speaker 1: with him, but there's been a collective of these running backs. 143 00:07:53,366 --> 00:07:55,326 Speaker 1: What do you think for Barkley, Though he was able 144 00:07:55,366 --> 00:07:57,446 Speaker 1: to sign that deal, he. 145 00:07:57,526 --> 00:08:02,006 Speaker 2: Had said that it was an epiphany and he could 146 00:08:02,526 --> 00:08:05,606 Speaker 2: not stand being away from the game that he loved. 147 00:08:05,726 --> 00:08:07,766 Speaker 2: But he also said it would be a flat out 148 00:08:07,886 --> 00:08:11,766 Speaker 2: lie if I said I wasn't disappointed. He knew this 149 00:08:12,126 --> 00:08:18,326 Speaker 2: was really the only solution to this problem, which is 150 00:08:18,366 --> 00:08:22,206 Speaker 2: a widespread problem because the reality is he knows that 151 00:08:22,246 --> 00:08:24,726 Speaker 2: if he stepped away for the game from the game 152 00:08:24,806 --> 00:08:28,606 Speaker 2: for a year, it would be Le'Veon Bell all over again. 153 00:08:29,046 --> 00:08:32,806 Speaker 2: Then you lose your value more. And then, even though 154 00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:35,446 Speaker 2: you may not have as much tread on the tires, 155 00:08:35,486 --> 00:08:38,926 Speaker 2: so to speak, because you would have taken a year off, 156 00:08:40,046 --> 00:08:43,606 Speaker 2: I think that would make you more radioactive to these 157 00:08:43,606 --> 00:08:46,886 Speaker 2: other teams. So it felt like this is where they 158 00:08:47,206 --> 00:08:51,206 Speaker 2: ended up. You feel bad because you mentioned Edgrin James. 159 00:08:51,606 --> 00:08:55,646 Speaker 2: You know, Ladanian, Tomlinson, Barry Sanders. You know, even in 160 00:08:55,806 --> 00:09:00,726 Speaker 2: years past, you know Sweetness Walter Payton and Gale Sayers 161 00:09:00,766 --> 00:09:03,046 Speaker 2: and all the greats of the game. They have been 162 00:09:03,086 --> 00:09:06,726 Speaker 2: so integral to so many offenses. But we're now at 163 00:09:06,766 --> 00:09:10,086 Speaker 2: a time where this is a passing league and guys 164 00:09:10,206 --> 00:09:12,166 Speaker 2: like Austin Eckler, who you mentioned, it. 165 00:09:12,366 --> 00:09:15,366 Speaker 1: Is until it isn't, though, because then you hear each 166 00:09:16,126 --> 00:09:17,846 Speaker 1: I mean, look what happened in Philly. Run the ball, 167 00:09:17,926 --> 00:09:20,446 Speaker 1: do this like we know the importance of a strong 168 00:09:21,046 --> 00:09:23,046 Speaker 1: ground game, you know. 169 00:09:22,406 --> 00:09:24,806 Speaker 2: No one undred percent, And and Najie Harris even came 170 00:09:24,846 --> 00:09:27,126 Speaker 2: out and he said, you know, teams value running backs, 171 00:09:27,406 --> 00:09:31,286 Speaker 2: they just don't want to pay them. And then he 172 00:09:31,366 --> 00:09:34,886 Speaker 2: gets told by the coaches, hey, Naji, it's time to 173 00:09:35,006 --> 00:09:37,566 Speaker 2: close the game out. We need to lean on you 174 00:09:37,686 --> 00:09:41,566 Speaker 2: right now. And he seted examples in Cleveland with with 175 00:09:41,726 --> 00:09:44,886 Speaker 2: Nick Chubb, and Tennessee with Derrick Henry, and even in 176 00:09:44,926 --> 00:09:48,566 Speaker 2: San Francisco where they've cycled through running backs before, even 177 00:09:48,646 --> 00:09:54,006 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey and Eli Mitchell, Elijah Mitchell and and Raheem 178 00:09:54,086 --> 00:10:00,566 Speaker 2: Moster and Jeff Wilson, you know, Junior. So this this 179 00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:06,686 Speaker 2: this quarterback and running back situation is really because Steelers 180 00:10:06,886 --> 00:10:09,606 Speaker 2: GM Omar Khan. He came out and he'd said when 181 00:10:09,686 --> 00:10:14,646 Speaker 2: quarterback salaries are growing at a higher rate than the cap, 182 00:10:14,846 --> 00:10:20,006 Speaker 2: it causes an effect. And that was his point of view, right, 183 00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:25,726 Speaker 2: And I think these these salaries from the quarterbacks take 184 00:10:25,846 --> 00:10:30,726 Speaker 2: up so much of the salary cap, but these quarterbacks 185 00:10:30,846 --> 00:10:34,166 Speaker 2: know how to defer some money, give some of that 186 00:10:34,246 --> 00:10:37,726 Speaker 2: money back or making it work out. It just it's 187 00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:39,806 Speaker 2: really two bad because you want to see these guys 188 00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:43,286 Speaker 2: get paid. They take so much punishment in the course 189 00:10:43,326 --> 00:10:45,926 Speaker 2: of a season and a course of a game, and 190 00:10:46,606 --> 00:10:49,686 Speaker 2: to see it be devalued and such talent still out 191 00:10:49,726 --> 00:10:54,366 Speaker 2: there that are still without jobs, it's it's mind boggling, 192 00:10:54,406 --> 00:10:54,606 Speaker 2: you know. 193 00:10:55,206 --> 00:10:57,766 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Forquon in particular, and you know that 194 00:10:57,846 --> 00:10:59,286 Speaker 1: I'm married to a Giants fan. 195 00:10:59,806 --> 00:11:01,206 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so my. 196 00:11:01,406 --> 00:11:04,646 Speaker 1: Husband is relieved that Taquon will be with the G 197 00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:10,046 Speaker 1: and present this year, but he's also upset for just 198 00:11:10,126 --> 00:11:12,846 Speaker 1: as a Saquon fan. Right, but I keep thinking of 199 00:11:12,926 --> 00:11:16,086 Speaker 1: like something my mom would say. So this one year situation, 200 00:11:16,206 --> 00:11:18,726 Speaker 1: right eleven million, they figured out sort of like the 201 00:11:18,846 --> 00:11:22,046 Speaker 1: edges to make sure that he's comfortable enough to get there. 202 00:11:22,086 --> 00:11:27,086 Speaker 1: My mom calls this Thai me like get at yai 203 00:11:27,526 --> 00:11:29,566 Speaker 1: just for a little bit. It's like sort of like 204 00:11:29,606 --> 00:11:33,086 Speaker 1: that little drop of just for right now, let's see 205 00:11:33,126 --> 00:11:35,926 Speaker 1: what happens. But here's what happens, at least for me 206 00:11:35,966 --> 00:11:38,766 Speaker 1: as a kid with the Thai. Every time she would 207 00:11:38,806 --> 00:11:41,246 Speaker 1: say that to me or give me something to appease 208 00:11:41,286 --> 00:11:44,086 Speaker 1: me for the moment, it made me hungrier. It made 209 00:11:44,086 --> 00:11:48,086 Speaker 1: me want what I already had in my head even more. Right, So, 210 00:11:48,206 --> 00:11:50,686 Speaker 1: I think that's probably what we're going to see from Saquon. 211 00:11:50,766 --> 00:11:54,206 Speaker 1: This is almost again like an audition here for him. Like, Okay, 212 00:11:54,326 --> 00:11:56,606 Speaker 1: you didn't want to pay me last year, I came 213 00:11:56,766 --> 00:11:59,286 Speaker 1: back and did double what I had done the two 214 00:11:59,326 --> 00:12:02,286 Speaker 1: previous years after coming back from an injury. Okay, just 215 00:12:02,326 --> 00:12:06,366 Speaker 1: watch me now. So I I am a big Sequon fan. 216 00:12:06,686 --> 00:12:08,726 Speaker 1: I'm a Sakon believer, and I think he's going to 217 00:12:08,806 --> 00:12:12,446 Speaker 1: go off, but you know those little dollar signs or 218 00:12:12,526 --> 00:12:15,606 Speaker 1: lack thereof, are going to be swirling around his head. 219 00:12:16,086 --> 00:12:19,166 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And the Giants were better as an offense. 220 00:12:19,246 --> 00:12:22,046 Speaker 2: It made Daniel Jones a lot better because they ran 221 00:12:22,126 --> 00:12:25,966 Speaker 2: the ball with effectiveness. But my dad, who had to 222 00:12:25,966 --> 00:12:30,286 Speaker 2: live with my grandmother for over thirty years, he got 223 00:12:30,286 --> 00:12:32,206 Speaker 2: a tape recorder one time and I think I mentioned 224 00:12:32,206 --> 00:12:35,006 Speaker 2: this on the podcast, and he said, Senoras es thatosting 225 00:12:35,046 --> 00:12:39,126 Speaker 2: when I Epocatritica, So he was making light of the 226 00:12:39,166 --> 00:12:42,806 Speaker 2: fact that he was essentially stuck with my grandmother. The 227 00:12:42,926 --> 00:12:48,926 Speaker 2: reality is that when I Eptica right now of running backs, 228 00:12:49,086 --> 00:12:53,006 Speaker 2: you know, and you know, running backs across the NFL 229 00:12:53,046 --> 00:12:55,166 Speaker 2: average less than kickers. 230 00:12:55,326 --> 00:12:56,726 Speaker 3: And that's crazy to me. 231 00:12:56,806 --> 00:13:01,126 Speaker 2: So vital, I know, is so so vital. And you 232 00:13:01,206 --> 00:13:06,806 Speaker 2: mentioned Austin Eckler and he was disgruntled. He at one 233 00:13:06,806 --> 00:13:09,206 Speaker 2: point in time wanted to be traded. He did end 234 00:13:09,286 --> 00:13:13,686 Speaker 2: up settling, but he has had these zoom calls with 235 00:13:13,886 --> 00:13:17,886 Speaker 2: other high profile running backs to talk about the predicament 236 00:13:17,966 --> 00:13:20,646 Speaker 2: that they're in and what's next. And he said, just 237 00:13:20,686 --> 00:13:24,966 Speaker 2: to hear everybody's stories. To try to educate everybody, and 238 00:13:25,366 --> 00:13:30,646 Speaker 2: he wants to abolish the franchise tag and I don't 239 00:13:30,686 --> 00:13:34,566 Speaker 2: know if that's going to be possible, but at all 240 00:13:34,926 --> 00:13:39,566 Speaker 2: because the other aspect of this is the CBA. The 241 00:13:39,606 --> 00:13:43,046 Speaker 2: CBA that they agreed to was back in twenty twenty 242 00:13:43,726 --> 00:13:47,806 Speaker 2: and it runs through twenty thirty, so that really restricts 243 00:13:48,126 --> 00:13:50,966 Speaker 2: what they can do at this point in time. And 244 00:13:51,006 --> 00:13:56,366 Speaker 2: then Coles owner Jim Orsay he jumped on X or 245 00:13:56,406 --> 00:13:59,406 Speaker 2: Twitter or Twitter X, whatever you want to call it, 246 00:13:59,966 --> 00:14:02,086 Speaker 2: and then he had said, I'm. 247 00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:04,606 Speaker 3: A Threads exclusive brol now continuing. 248 00:14:04,126 --> 00:14:06,886 Speaker 2: Are you are you just all threads? I gotta jump 249 00:14:06,926 --> 00:14:09,206 Speaker 2: on Threads and myself, but you know, er say, you know, 250 00:14:09,246 --> 00:14:11,886 Speaker 2: tweet out the CBA was negotiating good faith and that 251 00:14:11,966 --> 00:14:16,806 Speaker 2: some agents are selling quote bad faith, and Jonathan Taylor's 252 00:14:16,846 --> 00:14:21,046 Speaker 2: agent replied, bad faith is not paying your top offensive player. 253 00:14:21,926 --> 00:14:26,566 Speaker 2: So this this thing is I don't know where it 254 00:14:26,606 --> 00:14:30,326 Speaker 2: goes from here, because if you're a Bijon Robinson, you 255 00:14:30,366 --> 00:14:34,926 Speaker 2: go off for eighteen hundred yards, yeah yeah, and you 256 00:14:34,926 --> 00:14:37,526 Speaker 2: feel like you're stuck, or if you're in high school, 257 00:14:37,526 --> 00:14:39,046 Speaker 2: if you want to see how it trickles down to 258 00:14:39,126 --> 00:14:42,486 Speaker 2: that level, do you say, boy, I'm a punishing runner, 259 00:14:42,526 --> 00:14:45,846 Speaker 2: but you know, maybe my skill set is more for 260 00:14:46,326 --> 00:14:50,806 Speaker 2: a defensive end spot. Maybe that's my calling. That's maybe 261 00:14:50,846 --> 00:14:53,846 Speaker 2: the sweet spot where I know I'll be recognized and 262 00:14:54,006 --> 00:14:56,806 Speaker 2: my body won't take as much of a beating and 263 00:14:56,846 --> 00:15:02,486 Speaker 2: I'll be appreciated more given that position. So yeah, a 264 00:15:02,526 --> 00:15:08,126 Speaker 2: lot to diges and go through. So those are kind of, 265 00:15:08,326 --> 00:15:11,486 Speaker 2: I guess, our thoughts. Lots of people already are weighing 266 00:15:11,526 --> 00:15:15,566 Speaker 2: in on the Jets coverage, and you know, and people 267 00:15:15,606 --> 00:15:19,206 Speaker 2: are already hitting me up on Twitter or x or 268 00:15:19,286 --> 00:15:21,886 Speaker 2: now I gotta be reread right with the whole boy, 269 00:15:21,966 --> 00:15:24,046 Speaker 2: It's just like all you guys talk about twenty four 270 00:15:24,046 --> 00:15:27,486 Speaker 2: to seven is about the Jets, and the big storyline 271 00:15:27,486 --> 00:15:31,966 Speaker 2: obviously is with Aaron Rodgers and the fact that he 272 00:15:32,126 --> 00:15:35,926 Speaker 2: and the Jets are now really relevant because they're going 273 00:15:36,006 --> 00:15:40,086 Speaker 2: to be on Hard Knocks, which will air starting April eighth. 274 00:15:40,766 --> 00:15:43,726 Speaker 2: And yeah, a lot of these these coaches and players 275 00:15:43,726 --> 00:15:46,726 Speaker 2: have expressed their disinterest in being a part of the show. 276 00:15:46,806 --> 00:15:50,726 Speaker 2: They don't want to show guys getting cut, which you 277 00:15:50,886 --> 00:15:53,846 Speaker 2: hate to see and it is heartbreaking, but at the 278 00:15:53,886 --> 00:15:58,486 Speaker 2: same time, it is in a way reality TV where 279 00:15:58,566 --> 00:16:03,246 Speaker 2: you see their lives changed, and I get that they're 280 00:16:03,286 --> 00:16:07,566 Speaker 2: sensitive to that and the league essentially I had to say, no, Jess, 281 00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:09,886 Speaker 2: you do have to do it. The one thing, though, 282 00:16:10,286 --> 00:16:12,606 Speaker 2: I will say that I'm looking forward to, is more 283 00:16:12,686 --> 00:16:14,606 Speaker 2: sound bites for Robert Sala. 284 00:16:15,646 --> 00:16:19,886 Speaker 1: Listen, you know of a big fan of coach Sala, 285 00:16:20,126 --> 00:16:24,046 Speaker 1: and I think he's very I think what we see 286 00:16:24,086 --> 00:16:26,326 Speaker 1: a lot from the clips in the press conferences from 287 00:16:26,366 --> 00:16:29,966 Speaker 1: coaches is maybe like half of a percent of what 288 00:16:30,006 --> 00:16:31,366 Speaker 1: his full personality is. 289 00:16:31,486 --> 00:16:34,926 Speaker 3: Right, Like, he's a very funny dude. He's very straightforward. 290 00:16:35,086 --> 00:16:39,406 Speaker 1: He's kind of a cool customer but yo, I mean ridiculous, 291 00:16:39,486 --> 00:16:42,806 Speaker 1: but like he has almost this like sarcastic undertone, and 292 00:16:42,886 --> 00:16:45,246 Speaker 1: I think that when you're micd up or like you 293 00:16:45,246 --> 00:16:46,726 Speaker 1: don't know that there's a boom mic in the way, 294 00:16:46,766 --> 00:16:48,126 Speaker 1: Like We're going to get to see a little bit 295 00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:51,166 Speaker 1: more of that personality, and that's very intriguing to me. 296 00:16:51,206 --> 00:16:54,446 Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting that it was the players 297 00:16:54,486 --> 00:16:57,846 Speaker 1: getting cut portion of it that they were opposed to. 298 00:16:57,926 --> 00:16:59,486 Speaker 1: I think of all of the things that we see 299 00:17:00,086 --> 00:17:03,286 Speaker 1: throughout the show, that certainly I think the most like 300 00:17:03,566 --> 00:17:05,686 Speaker 1: humanistic part of it, because that cuts to the core 301 00:17:05,726 --> 00:17:07,686 Speaker 1: of the reality of the league, of the reality of 302 00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:09,766 Speaker 1: trying to make a team and stay in the league, 303 00:17:09,806 --> 00:17:12,806 Speaker 1: Like it's very, very tough. So I can see him 304 00:17:12,806 --> 00:17:15,486 Speaker 1: trying to protect these players and sort of protect the 305 00:17:15,526 --> 00:17:17,126 Speaker 1: morale throughout the organization. 306 00:17:17,886 --> 00:17:19,326 Speaker 3: So that was an interesting part. 307 00:17:19,446 --> 00:17:21,726 Speaker 1: I didn't expect that to be sort of the nope, 308 00:17:21,926 --> 00:17:25,406 Speaker 1: you can't see this part of the process. But I'm 309 00:17:25,486 --> 00:17:27,566 Speaker 1: also very curious to see how our friends at NFL 310 00:17:27,606 --> 00:17:30,366 Speaker 1: Films are going to work around that, right, Like, Okay, 311 00:17:30,526 --> 00:17:32,966 Speaker 1: do we see the after do we see that just before? 312 00:17:33,566 --> 00:17:36,126 Speaker 1: Are they going to be privy to the conversations leading 313 00:17:36,206 --> 00:17:37,046 Speaker 1: up to cut day? 314 00:17:38,366 --> 00:17:39,166 Speaker 2: Yeah? Great questions. 315 00:17:39,246 --> 00:17:41,646 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be a whole new I think 316 00:17:41,726 --> 00:17:46,406 Speaker 1: sort of layout. But I always love seeing the guys 317 00:17:46,406 --> 00:17:49,286 Speaker 1: sort of bond with one another and like what happens 318 00:17:49,286 --> 00:17:50,606 Speaker 1: to those big team meeting rooms. 319 00:17:50,606 --> 00:17:52,646 Speaker 3: I mean, we got so many great moments last year. 320 00:17:53,326 --> 00:17:56,526 Speaker 2: It's always I mean, we fell in love with the Lions, yeah, right, 321 00:17:56,646 --> 00:18:00,606 Speaker 2: the Lions were compelling, right with Jamal Williams and with 322 00:18:00,726 --> 00:18:01,526 Speaker 2: Dan Campbell. 323 00:18:01,606 --> 00:18:03,606 Speaker 1: It made us root for that, like alling's going to 324 00:18:03,646 --> 00:18:07,286 Speaker 1: be really good and they were to be fair. Yeah, 325 00:18:07,526 --> 00:18:10,766 Speaker 1: I don't think that their their their final record sort 326 00:18:10,766 --> 00:18:13,166 Speaker 1: of reflected how competitive they actually were. 327 00:18:14,166 --> 00:18:15,846 Speaker 3: But I think it's similar to the Jets. 328 00:18:16,086 --> 00:18:19,726 Speaker 1: I think it's a very tough division, of course, I 329 00:18:19,726 --> 00:18:22,606 Speaker 1: think one of the toughest divisions in the league, and 330 00:18:23,126 --> 00:18:25,406 Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see sort of a 331 00:18:25,446 --> 00:18:27,686 Speaker 1: bit more behind the current as much as Robert Sali 332 00:18:27,686 --> 00:18:30,446 Speaker 1: will allow us to this year in harm Ducks. 333 00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,166 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, give it, give us, give us 334 00:18:32,246 --> 00:18:35,806 Speaker 2: a solid SoundBite.

Let's Sean on that is he you know, 337 00:18:41,446 --> 00:18:42,806 Speaker 2: he's been the league while he can say what o 338 00:18:42,886 --> 00:18:43,526 Speaker 2: the hell he wants. 339 00:18:43,606 --> 00:18:44,926 Speaker 4: But uh but. 340 00:18:44,846 --> 00:18:46,766 Speaker 2: As far as you know what we have going on here, 341 00:18:46,966 --> 00:18:52,446 Speaker 2: it's you know the I kind of lived by a 342 00:18:52,446 --> 00:18:55,686 Speaker 2: saying if you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping. Yeah, coach, 343 00:18:56,646 --> 00:18:58,926 Speaker 2: I like that, get it to me. 344 00:18:59,686 --> 00:19:01,926 Speaker 3: Brilliant, brilliant line. 345 00:19:03,046 --> 00:19:06,006 Speaker 2: I got to use that in my life. That is awesome. 346 00:19:07,126 --> 00:19:09,926 Speaker 1: If that's not the T shirt that are And obviously 347 00:19:09,966 --> 00:19:13,086 Speaker 1: we know this this this clip, but I think hearing 348 00:19:13,126 --> 00:19:16,886 Speaker 1: it in in Sala's voice makes it ten times more hysterical, 349 00:19:17,046 --> 00:19:18,966 Speaker 1: Like that is amazing. 350 00:19:19,206 --> 00:19:21,246 Speaker 2: So this is gonna be great for us. I think 351 00:19:21,286 --> 00:19:24,246 Speaker 2: we should we should look forward to this and embrace it. 352 00:19:24,686 --> 00:19:26,966 Speaker 2: And yeah, you'll be hearing a lot about Aaron Rodgers 353 00:19:27,006 --> 00:19:30,486 Speaker 2: and the Jets, But when the Jets, when the Giants, 354 00:19:30,526 --> 00:19:33,886 Speaker 2: when the New York teams are are relevant, Yeah, there's 355 00:19:33,966 --> 00:19:37,526 Speaker 2: definitely more of a buzz. I think, whether people like 356 00:19:37,606 --> 00:19:40,486 Speaker 2: to acknowledge it or not, I think that's that's uh, 357 00:19:41,006 --> 00:19:41,726 Speaker 2: that's a real thing. 358 00:19:42,126 --> 00:19:44,526 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the largest market for a reason. You know 359 00:19:44,526 --> 00:19:49,206 Speaker 1: whose name we haven't said in a minute. Shocking Russell 360 00:19:49,246 --> 00:19:53,206 Speaker 1: Wilson UH Broncos head coach Sean Payton says that Russell 361 00:19:53,206 --> 00:19:56,566 Speaker 1: wilson struggles in his first year in Denver weren't all 362 00:19:56,646 --> 00:20:01,486 Speaker 1: his fault. Peyton USA Today quote he said, It's not 363 00:20:01,526 --> 00:20:03,526 Speaker 1: just Russell. It might have been one of the worst 364 00:20:03,526 --> 00:20:06,006 Speaker 1: coaching jobs the history. 365 00:20:05,726 --> 00:20:06,526 Speaker 3: Of the NFL. 366 00:20:08,526 --> 00:20:12,846 Speaker 2: Listen, I don't know is that is that considered bush 367 00:20:12,926 --> 00:20:18,366 Speaker 2: league though tow I've heard worse. But but really, though 368 00:20:18,406 --> 00:20:21,886 Speaker 2: publicly like that, just calling out a coach essentially and 369 00:20:21,926 --> 00:20:24,806 Speaker 2: saying that's the worst coaching job ever. I mean, listen, 370 00:20:24,846 --> 00:20:27,086 Speaker 2: it feels like it's low hanging fruit. We all know 371 00:20:27,686 --> 00:20:31,166 Speaker 2: that it did not go well for Nathaniel Hackett. Wasn't 372 00:20:31,206 --> 00:20:35,286 Speaker 2: he was in over his head, the clock management, all 373 00:20:35,326 --> 00:20:38,126 Speaker 2: all those sorts of things. I don't know, it just 374 00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:40,126 Speaker 2: felt like it was unnecessary. 375 00:20:40,606 --> 00:20:41,206 Speaker 3: I think it is. 376 00:20:41,326 --> 00:20:45,006 Speaker 1: You know why, because every single person and ourselves included 377 00:20:45,086 --> 00:20:47,206 Speaker 1: analysts all around the board, they said the same thing. 378 00:20:47,286 --> 00:20:50,086 Speaker 1: Why can't another coach who does the same position call 379 00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:53,486 Speaker 1: spade a spade? I look, and don't forget that that 380 00:20:53,646 --> 00:20:55,806 Speaker 1: coach was on our side for a little bit. 381 00:20:55,846 --> 00:20:58,766 Speaker 3: So maybe that's a little bit of the analyst on air, 382 00:20:59,846 --> 00:21:01,086 Speaker 3: sure sort of squeaking out. 383 00:21:01,086 --> 00:21:03,406 Speaker 1: He might have gotten used to just lundon rip and 384 00:21:03,406 --> 00:21:05,886 Speaker 1: now he's like, well whatever, I'm keeping that part of it. 385 00:21:06,326 --> 00:21:10,766 Speaker 1: I'm not particularly mad at it. But maybe I woke 386 00:21:10,846 --> 00:21:12,406 Speaker 1: up and shows chaos today. 387 00:21:13,046 --> 00:21:16,126 Speaker 2: It's okay, now you're an agent of chaos. I still 388 00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:21,486 Speaker 2: support you and love you, uh the listen. And also 389 00:21:21,566 --> 00:21:24,566 Speaker 2: I think that he is going out of his way 390 00:21:24,846 --> 00:21:29,806 Speaker 2: to uh really defend Russell Wilson, to pump him up. 391 00:21:30,406 --> 00:21:33,366 Speaker 2: And I think he's doing everything he can to try 392 00:21:33,406 --> 00:21:36,766 Speaker 2: to distance Russell Wilson from you, to. 393 00:21:36,766 --> 00:21:40,406 Speaker 1: Keep him accountable too, because it was not he does yeah, he. 394 00:21:40,366 --> 00:21:44,806 Speaker 2: Does, Because now Russell Wilson has somebody who has coached 395 00:21:44,806 --> 00:21:47,846 Speaker 2: in this league who has been able to coach quarterbacks 396 00:21:48,006 --> 00:21:52,886 Speaker 2: up and future Hall of famers like you know, uh, 397 00:21:53,046 --> 00:21:55,926 Speaker 2: Drew Brees and and and he's been able to do 398 00:21:56,046 --> 00:21:59,326 Speaker 2: a lot at the quarterback position. So I think I 399 00:21:59,686 --> 00:22:05,286 Speaker 2: think him doing this, it'll be it'll be it'll certainly 400 00:22:05,286 --> 00:22:09,366 Speaker 2: be interesting to see how he handles Russell Wilson. And 401 00:22:09,406 --> 00:22:12,286 Speaker 2: if if the first sign of trouble comes, is he gonna, 402 00:22:12,486 --> 00:22:15,206 Speaker 2: you know, go down hard on him or is he 403 00:22:15,486 --> 00:22:17,486 Speaker 2: just going to say, hey, listen, this is just part 404 00:22:17,486 --> 00:22:20,086 Speaker 2: of the growing pains, you know. So so just how 405 00:22:20,086 --> 00:22:22,686 Speaker 2: he treats Russell Wilson, that that'll be, uh that it'll 406 00:22:22,686 --> 00:22:23,126 Speaker 2: be fun. 407 00:22:23,046 --> 00:22:25,686 Speaker 1: Seeing all right, I feel like we should we should 408 00:22:25,766 --> 00:22:27,086 Speaker 1: reset for a minute. 409 00:22:27,126 --> 00:22:28,926 Speaker 3: We got into a lot. We haven't really gone into 410 00:22:28,926 --> 00:22:30,366 Speaker 3: a ball talk in a minute. 411 00:22:30,406 --> 00:22:32,886 Speaker 1: Well let's say yeah, right, carol on ohaddo, and we'll 412 00:22:32,926 --> 00:22:33,606 Speaker 1: be right back. 413 00:22:39,686 --> 00:22:40,886 Speaker 3: Football is back. 414 00:22:41,086 --> 00:22:43,606 Speaker 1: Celebrate by watching US teams across the league take the 415 00:22:43,646 --> 00:22:47,566 Speaker 1: field for training camp Back Together Weekend presented by YouTube, 416 00:22:47,686 --> 00:22:51,326 Speaker 1: with two full days of practices, player interviews, micd up moments, 417 00:22:51,406 --> 00:22:55,646 Speaker 1: and fanfests across the league.

That is a 423 00:23:15,126 --> 00:23:18,606 Speaker 2: segment that we had during the season, and Buddhas mccana's 424 00:23:18,646 --> 00:23:21,486 Speaker 2: just for people if they are just listening to our 425 00:23:21,526 --> 00:23:25,286 Speaker 2: podcast for the first time. That is a saying that 426 00:23:25,366 --> 00:23:29,446 Speaker 2: my mom would often say. That was said in Nicaragua. 427 00:23:29,526 --> 00:23:33,926 Speaker 2: Buddhas mccanas So if you said, oh, no, Russell Wilson 428 00:23:34,006 --> 00:23:38,326 Speaker 2: is going to pass for eight thousand yards, just says mcganna's, like, 429 00:23:38,886 --> 00:23:41,246 Speaker 2: that's not true. That's yeah. 430 00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:44,646 Speaker 1: I feel like there's also a added to the beginning 431 00:23:44,886 --> 00:23:46,966 Speaker 1: or the end of it, like macana's. You know, you 432 00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:50,086 Speaker 1: need the sound effect to really make it true. 433 00:23:50,366 --> 00:23:51,006 Speaker 2: We need it. 434 00:23:51,966 --> 00:23:56,926 Speaker 1: Mag So our first Buddhas mccana's is that. When asked 435 00:23:56,966 --> 00:23:58,846 Speaker 1: if he felt he was on the same page as 436 00:23:58,886 --> 00:24:03,486 Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott, Stefan Diggs had this to say. 437 00:24:03,566 --> 00:24:06,206 Speaker 3: Earlier on the same page with Josh. You feel like 438 00:24:06,246 --> 00:24:08,166 Speaker 3: you're on the same page with Sean right now as well. 439 00:24:08,326 --> 00:24:10,126 Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean I also feel like 440 00:24:10,486 --> 00:24:12,526 Speaker 5: I'm not a corner or a DV. It's not like 441 00:24:12,566 --> 00:24:14,606 Speaker 5: I gotta, you know, like kind of get some play 442 00:24:14,606 --> 00:24:16,766 Speaker 5: calls from him. But from a standpoint of a head coach, 443 00:24:16,806 --> 00:24:18,246 Speaker 5: you know how to utmost respect for him, know what 444 00:24:18,246 --> 00:24:20,326 Speaker 5: I'm saying. He's he's a guy that you can always 445 00:24:20,326 --> 00:24:21,886 Speaker 5: have an open door policy where you can have a 446 00:24:21,886 --> 00:24:24,246 Speaker 5: conversation with as a man, more so more importantly than 447 00:24:24,326 --> 00:24:27,126 Speaker 5: just football. So you know, I feel like we're on 448 00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:29,006 Speaker 5: the same page and moving forward. That's why I said, 449 00:24:29,006 --> 00:24:30,766 Speaker 5: like it's all water in the bridge. Like you know, 450 00:24:30,806 --> 00:24:32,326 Speaker 5: I know y'all haven't spent too much time with me 451 00:24:32,366 --> 00:24:36,166 Speaker 5: this offseason, and I missed you guys too, But Und'm saying, 452 00:24:36,166 --> 00:24:40,166 Speaker 5: but all as well, all is well in the Mafia households. 453 00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:44,326 Speaker 3: I like that, Okay, you buy that. 454 00:24:46,006 --> 00:24:52,406 Speaker 1: For some reason, he seems relaxed. Like I will say 455 00:24:52,406 --> 00:24:54,926 Speaker 1: this about step on days and all our interactions. Anytime 456 00:24:54,926 --> 00:24:58,006 Speaker 1: you see him on cam. He's just somebody who shoots 457 00:24:58,046 --> 00:24:59,726 Speaker 1: it to you straight. And I think the times when 458 00:24:59,726 --> 00:25:01,886 Speaker 1: he has been a little a little bit on the 459 00:25:01,886 --> 00:25:02,686 Speaker 1: petty train. 460 00:25:02,686 --> 00:25:06,126 Speaker 3: He also lets you know, so I feel like I 461 00:25:06,206 --> 00:25:07,806 Speaker 3: believe that you don't fair. 462 00:25:08,166 --> 00:25:10,446 Speaker 2: Uh well, listen. We've had him on Good Morning Football too, 463 00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:14,566 Speaker 2: and he's always been a straight shooter to your point, 464 00:25:14,926 --> 00:25:18,246 Speaker 2: and he's very funny and charismatic. It just I think 465 00:25:18,286 --> 00:25:23,286 Speaker 2: of him in the snow putting his arms out to 466 00:25:24,726 --> 00:25:28,246 Speaker 2: Josh Allen and was not happy, and I believe Deon 467 00:25:28,406 --> 00:25:31,686 Speaker 2: Dawkins then had to get him close and kind of say, yo, 468 00:25:31,806 --> 00:25:34,046 Speaker 2: what's up man, what's going on? And I know he's 469 00:25:34,086 --> 00:25:37,806 Speaker 2: passionate and every wide receiver wants the ball, so I 470 00:25:37,886 --> 00:25:43,446 Speaker 2: understand that. But I think the phrase that McDermott had 471 00:25:43,646 --> 00:25:46,526 Speaker 2: used that initially started all this, I think that was 472 00:25:46,686 --> 00:25:50,446 Speaker 2: triggering and it just feels like there is still something 473 00:25:50,526 --> 00:25:53,886 Speaker 2: simmering there. So to me, it feels like Buddhas mccana's 474 00:25:53,966 --> 00:25:57,606 Speaker 2: right now, it's fine, but wait until we get to 475 00:25:57,726 --> 00:26:00,646 Speaker 2: the games and how he's going to respond and how 476 00:26:00,686 --> 00:26:03,286 Speaker 2: he's going to be. I mean, right now, they just 477 00:26:03,326 --> 00:26:07,006 Speaker 2: started training camp, so it's all good. Everybody's fine. I 478 00:26:07,046 --> 00:26:09,926 Speaker 2: know Josh Allen wanted this thing to go away quickly 479 00:26:10,606 --> 00:26:14,606 Speaker 2: and I think this is this is a little so 480 00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:16,886 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie h not to say that I 481 00:26:16,926 --> 00:26:21,366 Speaker 2: want a discord. I'm just just I think maybe he 482 00:26:21,446 --> 00:26:26,046 Speaker 2: and Josh Allen are good, but something with Josh McDermott 483 00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:29,006 Speaker 2: or excuse me, Sean McDermott just feels like it's a 484 00:26:29,086 --> 00:26:36,406 Speaker 2: little off, something that that can't potentially be something to 485 00:26:36,446 --> 00:26:39,446 Speaker 2: look out for down the road if they're in a 486 00:26:39,566 --> 00:26:41,926 Speaker 2: in a game, he's not getting the ball, the offense 487 00:26:42,046 --> 00:26:45,046 Speaker 2: isn't moving, you know, That's that's what I kind of 488 00:26:45,046 --> 00:26:45,646 Speaker 2: want to see. 489 00:26:46,046 --> 00:26:49,366 Speaker 1: Yeah, now now I'm like hyper analyzing the clip right, 490 00:26:49,446 --> 00:26:51,966 Speaker 1: like playing it back in my head because in dominicanpub or. 491 00:26:51,926 --> 00:26:54,726 Speaker 2: You media people listen in. 492 00:26:54,766 --> 00:26:59,086 Speaker 1: Dr they would say, which means like he's giving you 493 00:26:59,126 --> 00:27:01,886 Speaker 1: a moler, which he means he's just like sweet talking 494 00:27:01,926 --> 00:27:05,846 Speaker 1: you a little bit about him.

This week, he was asked about 499 00:27:21,486 --> 00:27:24,526 Speaker 2: the process of having head coach Mike McCarthy take over 500 00:27:25,206 --> 00:27:28,566 Speaker 2: the play calling something that Cowboys head coaches have not 501 00:27:28,846 --> 00:27:31,766 Speaker 2: done in recent history. And this is what he had 502 00:27:31,766 --> 00:27:34,286 Speaker 2: to say. 503 00:27:34,406 --> 00:27:38,726 Speaker 6: It has to do with Mike. Mike not only has 504 00:27:38,886 --> 00:27:43,486 Speaker 6: the head coaching I'm gonna call it a walk around 505 00:27:43,566 --> 00:27:49,046 Speaker 6: head coaching skills, the overall management attribute and the experience 506 00:27:49,086 --> 00:27:54,606 Speaker 6: to go with it, but he also is very apt 507 00:27:54,966 --> 00:28:02,846 Speaker 6: at the really right into the area of the quarterback, 508 00:28:02,926 --> 00:28:09,886 Speaker 6: the offense, king schemes, and we had just we're just 509 00:28:10,046 --> 00:28:13,686 Speaker 6: at a point as we have evolved, and I think 510 00:28:13,726 --> 00:28:16,086 Speaker 6: we have evolved over the last two or three years 511 00:28:16,846 --> 00:28:19,846 Speaker 6: that it was not so much about what Kellen wasn't 512 00:28:20,606 --> 00:28:22,446 Speaker 6: It was about what Mike is. 513 00:28:25,366 --> 00:28:31,726 Speaker 2: To me, that's not Buddhas mcconaugh's premium. 514 00:28:32,806 --> 00:28:37,606 Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, I don't think it's kinds either. 515 00:28:38,126 --> 00:28:40,886 Speaker 1: I think we know the trajectory and the history behind 516 00:28:40,966 --> 00:28:41,806 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. 517 00:28:43,286 --> 00:28:45,606 Speaker 3: I'm very curious to actually. 518 00:28:45,206 --> 00:28:48,766 Speaker 2: See any things up right. They have to do something 519 00:28:48,886 --> 00:28:54,126 Speaker 2: different because worked and hasn't gotten them far enough. Is he? 520 00:28:54,366 --> 00:28:55,566 Speaker 2: Is he the solution? Though? 521 00:28:55,846 --> 00:28:59,006 Speaker 3: I don't know it's worth to try to be determined. 522 00:28:59,126 --> 00:29:02,446 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but something has to change. It's just been 523 00:29:02,486 --> 00:29:04,526 Speaker 1: way too long for the Cowboys, especially when you talk 524 00:29:04,566 --> 00:29:08,406 Speaker 1: about well going on a teap playoff run, like they 525 00:29:08,806 --> 00:29:14,726 Speaker 1: have to have to We're talking about like confince championships, 526 00:29:14,766 --> 00:29:18,406 Speaker 1: like has to be that this year and beyond or 527 00:29:18,526 --> 00:29:21,406 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some serious and even bigger 528 00:29:21,526 --> 00:29:25,166 Speaker 1: changes within the Cowboys organization next season. 529 00:29:25,526 --> 00:29:27,606 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and in the NFC. I mean there's 530 00:29:27,646 --> 00:29:31,366 Speaker 2: a chance for them to do some damage. But has 531 00:29:31,406 --> 00:29:34,486 Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb really taken that next step to being a 532 00:29:34,566 --> 00:29:38,726 Speaker 2: superstar wide receiver? What about Dak now is a lot 533 00:29:38,766 --> 00:29:41,966 Speaker 2: of questions. Yeah, It's like, you know, Dak has been 534 00:29:42,726 --> 00:29:46,566 Speaker 2: throwing the football, you know, in places when he shouldn't be, 535 00:29:47,046 --> 00:29:49,046 Speaker 2: you know, when he's forcing it. It's like, is he's 536 00:29:49,086 --> 00:29:52,246 Speaker 2: going to cut down on that the ball secured exactly 537 00:29:52,726 --> 00:29:56,126 Speaker 2: so so and every year we have this discussion about 538 00:29:56,486 --> 00:29:59,606 Speaker 2: Dak and and you know, we talk about like the 539 00:30:00,046 --> 00:30:03,966 Speaker 2: top quarterbacks in the league. He just is not there yet. 540 00:30:04,366 --> 00:30:08,246 Speaker 2: And and I just think it it ends in disappointment 541 00:30:08,286 --> 00:30:11,526 Speaker 2: for them. And I think it's it's McCarthy's going to 542 00:30:11,566 --> 00:30:13,326 Speaker 2: be on the hot seat here if this thing doesn't 543 00:30:13,366 --> 00:30:16,246 Speaker 2: work out, you know, because Jerry Jones was also asked 544 00:30:16,246 --> 00:30:19,686 Speaker 2: about this sense of urgency, and he said, every year. 545 00:30:19,766 --> 00:30:22,446 Speaker 2: There's a sense of urgency, but they have to try 546 00:30:22,486 --> 00:30:26,566 Speaker 2: to do something different to get this offense going. You know, 547 00:30:26,766 --> 00:30:30,246 Speaker 2: ze as Zeke is not signed, he's not there. We'll 548 00:30:30,246 --> 00:30:33,526 Speaker 2: see if he goes there. Tony Pollin's coming back from 549 00:30:33,606 --> 00:30:37,246 Speaker 2: his injury, so they face a lot of question marks. 550 00:30:37,286 --> 00:30:40,086 Speaker 2: But hey, I guess it doesn't it doesn't hurt's let's 551 00:30:40,366 --> 00:30:41,606 Speaker 2: shake it up and see what happens. 552 00:30:41,686 --> 00:30:45,726 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So we started the show talking about groundbreaking, 553 00:30:46,166 --> 00:30:51,686 Speaker 1: market busting quarterback contracts. Well, yesterday Aaron Rodgers said a 554 00:30:52,366 --> 00:30:55,526 Speaker 1: signed a two year, seventy five million dollar guaranteed contract 555 00:30:55,566 --> 00:30:58,206 Speaker 1: through twenty twenty four. So when asked if he was 556 00:30:58,286 --> 00:31:00,966 Speaker 1: influenced by the amount of fun he's been having in 557 00:31:00,966 --> 00:31:03,086 Speaker 1: New York, this is what he had to say. 558 00:31:06,286 --> 00:31:10,086 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, definitely, some of it is how much 559 00:31:10,086 --> 00:31:12,846 Speaker 4: fun I'm having. It's all about the body, how the 560 00:31:12,846 --> 00:31:18,126 Speaker 4: body feels. The team gave up significant pieces for just 561 00:31:18,166 --> 00:31:20,926 Speaker 4: to be a one year deal. I'm aware of that. 562 00:31:21,046 --> 00:31:26,366 Speaker 4: I think there was an awareness of that. Now again, 563 00:31:26,406 --> 00:31:28,846 Speaker 4: anything can happen with my body or with the success 564 00:31:28,886 --> 00:31:32,286 Speaker 4: we have this year. But I'm having a blast, so 565 00:31:32,366 --> 00:31:34,286 Speaker 4: I don't really see this as a one year and 566 00:31:34,326 --> 00:31:34,686 Speaker 4: done thing. 567 00:31:37,526 --> 00:31:39,686 Speaker 1: Okay, if you're asking MJ, what are you talking about. 568 00:31:39,686 --> 00:31:43,726 Speaker 1: Didn't he already sign the contract? Well, yes, but they 569 00:31:43,766 --> 00:31:44,726 Speaker 1: reworked a few things. 570 00:31:44,726 --> 00:31:45,086 Speaker 3: He took a. 571 00:31:45,126 --> 00:31:48,086 Speaker 1: Thirty five million dollar pay cut. This will allow the 572 00:31:48,166 --> 00:31:52,006 Speaker 1: Jets to sign more talent. So I think this once 573 00:31:52,006 --> 00:31:55,526 Speaker 1: again reinforces the fact that this man is there to 574 00:31:55,726 --> 00:31:58,486 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. So if he's got to give 575 00:31:58,526 --> 00:32:01,926 Speaker 1: a little to get a lot, all right. 576 00:32:02,686 --> 00:32:06,406 Speaker 2: I mean imagine imagine though, but imagine a worker saying, 577 00:32:06,446 --> 00:32:09,166 Speaker 2: you know what, here's all this money. I'm gonna give 578 00:32:09,286 --> 00:32:11,966 Speaker 2: back to the company. Now, you guys take it, because 579 00:32:12,006 --> 00:32:16,286 Speaker 2: I am so happy. I am intoxicated with this atmosphere. 580 00:32:16,566 --> 00:32:19,166 Speaker 1: I think it's under the understanding that it will be 581 00:32:19,246 --> 00:32:21,246 Speaker 1: to put to good use, not just out of the 582 00:32:21,246 --> 00:32:22,126 Speaker 1: goodness of his heart. 583 00:32:22,046 --> 00:32:24,726 Speaker 2: To give, true, But I mean, I think that speaks 584 00:32:24,766 --> 00:32:30,366 Speaker 2: to his happiness there. He does seem to be with 585 00:32:30,446 --> 00:32:34,206 Speaker 2: a constant smile from ear to ear. He does seem 586 00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:40,006 Speaker 2: like he's enjoying the game. It doesn't feel like it exactly, 587 00:32:40,206 --> 00:32:44,606 Speaker 2: And he's into this absolutely. It's like they're I. 588 00:32:44,566 --> 00:32:47,046 Speaker 1: Meant that metaphorically, guys not like me. Actually, I don't 589 00:32:47,046 --> 00:32:49,006 Speaker 1: know who he's stating, nor do I care? I meant 590 00:32:49,046 --> 00:32:51,046 Speaker 1: like the uphoric feeling of being in a new relationship, 591 00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:51,566 Speaker 1: new place. 592 00:32:52,126 --> 00:32:53,766 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wondering, who are you referring to? 593 00:32:53,926 --> 00:32:55,406 Speaker 3: No, I know none of that. 594 00:32:57,046 --> 00:33:00,846 Speaker 2: It neither do I. But he just seems like he is. 595 00:33:01,806 --> 00:33:04,726 Speaker 2: He's just genuinely in a very happy spot. He knows 596 00:33:04,846 --> 00:33:08,806 Speaker 2: he has good young talent, he's got everything is in 597 00:33:08,846 --> 00:33:13,006 Speaker 2: place for him. Listen, earlier in the podcast, you know, 598 00:33:13,046 --> 00:33:15,966 Speaker 2: we had heard from Sean Payton blasting Nathaniel Hackett. Well, 599 00:33:16,006 --> 00:33:20,326 Speaker 2: Nathan Hackets now with the Jets, and they've done everything 600 00:33:20,446 --> 00:33:24,486 Speaker 2: possible to make him feel comfortable, to help him feel 601 00:33:25,806 --> 00:33:30,846 Speaker 2: like he belongs, and to make the change for him seamless. 602 00:33:31,446 --> 00:33:34,606 Speaker 2: And you know, Sauce Garter just totally revers the guy 603 00:33:34,766 --> 00:33:38,326 Speaker 2: gave him the appendant, you know, from his jeweler. I mean, 604 00:33:39,246 --> 00:33:45,326 Speaker 2: it's like everything is, everything seems to be totally right, 605 00:33:45,686 --> 00:33:48,886 Speaker 2: and so it just seems like the players love him, 606 00:33:49,286 --> 00:33:52,526 Speaker 2: you know, he loves the players. It just seems to 607 00:33:52,566 --> 00:33:57,806 Speaker 2: be like everything is coming up roses for the Jets 608 00:33:57,846 --> 00:34:00,486 Speaker 2: at this point time. Again, they haven't they haven't played 609 00:34:00,526 --> 00:34:03,726 Speaker 2: a game yet, so we'll see what that translates. Onto 610 00:34:03,726 --> 00:34:06,846 Speaker 2: the field. But this team, you know that they have 611 00:34:07,126 --> 00:34:11,206 Speaker 2: all the elements there for success. It's just the AFC 612 00:34:11,486 --> 00:34:14,406 Speaker 2: is just so hard to get through. When you have 613 00:34:14,566 --> 00:34:16,566 Speaker 2: the Chiefs and you have the Bengals, and you have 614 00:34:16,686 --> 00:34:21,166 Speaker 2: the Bills, and you have the Dolphins and the Ravens. 615 00:34:20,966 --> 00:34:23,766 Speaker 2: It it's like you can never count out the Steelers. 616 00:34:24,406 --> 00:34:27,206 Speaker 2: You know, there's there's a bunch of those those sorts 617 00:34:27,206 --> 00:34:30,886 Speaker 2: of those sorts of scenarios out there in the a 618 00:34:30,926 --> 00:34:35,766 Speaker 2: f C that I think for for for the Jets, 619 00:34:35,766 --> 00:34:38,926 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's there for them, and and 620 00:34:39,086 --> 00:34:43,766 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is very very happy clearly there in Gotham. 621 00:34:43,966 --> 00:34:46,686 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with the relationship metaphor here 622 00:34:46,726 --> 00:34:47,366 Speaker 1: because I. 623 00:34:47,286 --> 00:34:48,526 Speaker 3: Think it's been very insular. 624 00:34:48,846 --> 00:34:52,206 Speaker 1: It's very apt that that thus far right, he's been there, 625 00:34:52,206 --> 00:34:54,486 Speaker 1: he's been in the building, hanging out with guys in 626 00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:55,206 Speaker 1: the off season. 627 00:34:55,286 --> 00:34:56,846 Speaker 3: Now they're in. 628 00:34:56,366 --> 00:35:00,646 Speaker 1: Camp, and it's just then, Yeah, but what happens when 629 00:35:00,646 --> 00:35:02,366 Speaker 1: you have to go to your whit House house, your 630 00:35:02,366 --> 00:35:05,446 Speaker 1: partner's at whitt House house, and they have a little 631 00:35:05,446 --> 00:35:07,926 Speaker 1: get together when they're going to play another team in 632 00:35:07,966 --> 00:35:10,286 Speaker 1: their division, and maybe you run into the uncle who 633 00:35:10,286 --> 00:35:13,006 Speaker 1: had one too many shots of in the holiday season 634 00:35:14,206 --> 00:35:17,286 Speaker 1: and things get a little honree, like that's going to 635 00:35:17,326 --> 00:35:19,566 Speaker 1: be the test when they face a little adversity, when 636 00:35:19,566 --> 00:35:24,686 Speaker 1: they take a loss, Like, how is this euphoria going 637 00:35:24,686 --> 00:35:28,646 Speaker 1: to play out for this new look Jets team? 638 00:35:28,686 --> 00:35:30,286 Speaker 3: So I'm very very curious. 639 00:35:30,846 --> 00:35:34,366 Speaker 2: Well I know that like my mom, if you brought 640 00:35:34,406 --> 00:35:37,646 Speaker 2: a girlfriend home, she had to be the one. 641 00:35:37,566 --> 00:35:41,046 Speaker 3: Boy, right, right, so you know it's real, right. 642 00:35:40,926 --> 00:35:44,006 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So so this is this is it?

Yeah, that's always fun for me. 669 00:37:09,366 --> 00:37:10,966 Speaker 2: My evuno is. 670 00:37:11,006 --> 00:37:14,446 Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see this rookie class really getting 671 00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:17,926 Speaker 1: into NFL action, like their first real case as we 672 00:37:17,966 --> 00:37:19,726 Speaker 1: get into the preseason games and then of course it's 673 00:37:19,726 --> 00:37:21,926 Speaker 1: a kick off, which is what the forty something are 674 00:37:21,966 --> 00:37:26,686 Speaker 1: we in the forties now? In the countdown days? That's great, 675 00:37:26,686 --> 00:37:30,446 Speaker 1: fifty something. It's short, yea, it is countdown. You go 676 00:37:30,486 --> 00:37:32,886 Speaker 1: and learn today. We have so many of the prospects 677 00:37:32,926 --> 00:37:36,646 Speaker 1: on before the draft. I think it's it's such a 678 00:37:36,726 --> 00:37:38,886 Speaker 1: talented group, which is why this draft was a little 679 00:37:38,886 --> 00:37:41,806 Speaker 1: bit unpredictable. And I'm ready to see these guys out 680 00:37:41,806 --> 00:37:45,166 Speaker 1: there and really get into their groove and show what 681 00:37:45,206 --> 00:37:49,406 Speaker 1: they are bringing to this next level of the NFL. 682 00:37:49,446 --> 00:37:50,406 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be great. 683 00:37:50,406 --> 00:37:51,406 Speaker 3: Well, they're going to be fair, I know. 684 00:37:51,486 --> 00:37:53,406 Speaker 2: And there's there's a lot of those rookies that are 685 00:37:53,446 --> 00:37:56,326 Speaker 2: out there that we'll see and I hope Bijon Robinson 686 00:37:56,726 --> 00:38:00,766 Speaker 2: just goes off. Atlanta has an incredible season. The same 687 00:38:00,806 --> 00:38:05,086 Speaker 2: with Jamir Gibbs and the Lions there. So there's a 688 00:38:05,126 --> 00:38:07,806 Speaker 2: lot of these rookies. And listen, we should mention Bryce 689 00:38:07,886 --> 00:38:10,326 Speaker 2: Young too. I mean, he was be a starter by 690 00:38:10,366 --> 00:38:15,566 Speaker 2: Frank Reich and he certainly earned it just based on 691 00:38:16,046 --> 00:38:19,566 Speaker 2: all the off season workouts and everything that he's done 692 00:38:19,646 --> 00:38:24,366 Speaker 2: up to this point. Tremendous poise, great football IQ. The 693 00:38:24,406 --> 00:38:28,086 Speaker 2: only knock that we've talked about at nauseum is is 694 00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:31,486 Speaker 2: his stature. But I think he's got the potential to 695 00:38:31,806 --> 00:38:35,366 Speaker 2: really elevate that team. He's got some veterans there and 696 00:38:35,366 --> 00:38:38,886 Speaker 2: and uh so, yeah, I'm with you. That's a great ibunto. 697 00:38:39,246 --> 00:38:40,766 Speaker 2: I want to see that those Rooks do well. 698 00:38:41,046 --> 00:38:41,406 Speaker 3: For sure. 699 00:38:41,446 --> 00:38:44,006 Speaker 1: You just mentioned Jon Robinson, and he is our fellow 700 00:38:44,086 --> 00:38:47,086 Speaker 1: thespian right.
