You could probably watch award 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: winning programs, but this is just an award nominated program 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: here with Seaton, Paulie, Fritzie mccleven and yours truly poll question, 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: play of the day, stat of the day, all of 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: that forthcoming. NFL sent a video to teams yesterday warning 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: them about taunting next season. I guess they're going to 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: enforce the rule a little more seriously than they have 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. It's a little bit 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: disappointing when you think about it, because I thought the 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: league had learned its lesson handing out personal fouls. Four 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: years ago. They decided to allow celebrations. Remember that they 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: took them away and then they brought them back, and 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: then they realized Oh yeah, there's a younger audience that 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: probably likes this, and we like a younger audience. But 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: the examples of taunting they sent out were hardly earth shattering. Basically, 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: guys just talking trash after a big play. Football players 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: are tough guys, right, they can take it. I know 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be about the kids, but this is 26 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: where parents play a role. I get. I'm not looking 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: at an athlete to raise my child. Do I hope 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: that they perform in a way that they would be 29 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: a role model to somebody, Yes, but they're not raising 30 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: my children when it comes to hey, taunting, excessive taunting. Okay, 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that as a parent I can have a 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: role in an opinion here instead of going, hey dad, 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I saw this. I saw DeAndre Hopkins do this, and 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it as well. When it comes 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: to the actual games, do we really need to find 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: ways for the officials to have more influence here, because 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: that's when it comes down to. For me, I just 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: don't want a big play, big game come down to 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fifteen yards penalty. Oh they're in field 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: goal range to win this playoff? Oh taunting, let's back 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: it up. Hopefully the reaction to this story reminds the 42 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: NFL that they were better off when they let players 43 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: be players be themselves. Here, we're gonna talk to Albert Breer. 44 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: He'll join us on loan from the Monday Morning Quarterback 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: get his thoughts on where did this come from. I 46 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: didn't I didn't hear an outcry where people said, you 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: know what, I'm tired of this. We gotta take taunting 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: out of the game. The NFL reacts to what you 49 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: want the NFL to react to. Every year. It's something different, Right, 50 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be kickoffs, it's gonna be extra points, field goals, goalpost, 51 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: you know where you can hit somebody. What's a fumble? 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: What's not a fumble? I don't know if anybody was upset. 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: Do you know anybody who said, as you know, they 54 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: better get around to fix on this taunting stuff? Like 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin famously, when he would even catch a three 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: yard pass and it was a first down, he would 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: point towards first down. Is that taunting? If I look 58 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: at you as a taunting, if I say some magical words, 59 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: is it taunting? Are we going to have upon further review, 60 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: it's taunting. Are we going to review taunting plays? And 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: when the NFL said, hey, we're taking out celebrations, don't 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: you like, like, what are we doing? I can understand 63 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: it at a at a smaller level, younger level, I 64 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: get it. You know you're trying to install some kind 65 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: of sportsmanship, play hard. You know, it's not about making 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: fun of somebody else. I get it. These are grown men. 67 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: They get paid. I want excitement. I want somebody who 68 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: cares about it. I want a battle now. Do I 69 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: want stupid stuff? No? But it goes along with the territory. 70 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: It's hard to really pick and choose and go all right, 71 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: you scored a touchdown. Let's get the entire team in 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: front of the monitor and we'll all pose. Okay, we've 73 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: done that. I don't know what's next, and hopefully not 74 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: like a human sacrifice or anything. But for the most part, 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: I think we're okay with some of the celebrations here. 76 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: But I don't know who is clamoring for this, Like 77 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: you have got to get rid of this. The No 78 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: Fun League is back, Yes, poets. So after reading it, 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: it looks like players have to learn the look away taunt. 80 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: So you could flex on someone, but you got to 81 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: flex away from that person. You can flex amongst them, 82 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: but not at them, So you turned away like the 83 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: look away taunt. That's gonna be the move.

College football rankings are out, man, what a shock. 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: Alabama's number one. It's about time Alabama got a break here. 90 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: Clemson's number two. What a shocker? Oklahoma, Ohio State, Georgia. 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: These are also the final five teams that we'll have 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: in the college football rankings as well. Is there anything 93 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: more predictable than college football? I'm guessing these schools are 94 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: going to be there in the playoffs playing for a 95 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: national championship. The Lakers introduced Russell Westbrook Junior, the third 96 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Paris singer. Germain introduced Messy yesterday, and the Luca deal 97 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: got done. McLevin, what's the poll question today? Okay, put 98 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: out the audience. Would you like the NFL to enforce 99 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: its taunting rule? More? Yes or no? I don't. I 100 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: don't know how they do it. Do you think they 101 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: have Poe say leave it alone. If it bothers you, 102 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to. I'd like to hear from you, like 103 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: I just tell me, because I don't want to. I'm 104 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: overreacting to it. Maybe I should be underreacting to it. 105 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: But to me, it's like, what are we doing? And 106 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: how do you police this? That's the hard part. You know, 107 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: baseball is trying to get a little looser here, you know, 108 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: not be as stayed and buttoned up. People have a 109 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: problem with that, and I understand that the bat flips, 110 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, what constitutes a situation where you can have 111 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: a bat flip. I do want enthusiasm. I do want excitement. 112 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: I think the NFL got used to have, you know, 113 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: the fun bunch where everybody got together and then everybody celebrated. 114 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: It was orchestrated. I understand that they wanted to cut 115 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: down on that, but I think if a guy scores 116 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: a touchdown, you should be excited. Um does that warrant 117 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: a penalty? It certainly feels like that that's the direction 118 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: we're headed. In Hard Knocks episode one with the Dallas Cowboys, 119 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: I was entertained by it, but then I go into 120 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: it like, Okay, let me let me hear something, see something, 121 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: anything interesting here. There was one Danette who was not 122 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: thrilled with Hard Knocks last night, and I was surprised 123 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: Todd actually had swear words in the morning meeting talking 124 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: about Hard Knocks. It's had higher expectations. It just was 125 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: kind of bland. I got off to a slow start. 126 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: It had little moments, but I think, you know, maybe 127 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: it'll pick up in future episodes. I'm not gonna not 128 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: watch it just because of the first episode, but I 129 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: thought it would start with a bang, and I just 130 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: didn't feel like I was that inside what was going on. 131 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Nothing really jumped out of me. That was earth chattering 132 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: behind the scenes where I felt like I was there 133 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: with the team. Yeah, Seaton, the star quarterback returning from injury, 134 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: got hurt in the very first episode. Like, I don't 135 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: know what else they could possibly do to be more like, 136 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: oh crap, the Cowboys are in trouble. Like that was 137 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: a real moment, Todd. I guess it's because we already 138 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: knew that he got hurt. I know we're seeing it 139 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: for the first time, but it's not Let's not like 140 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: say it was like a live game where someone gets hurt. 141 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing, there's no major revelation about the 142 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: show is taped. I understand that, but I'm it's not like, 143 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: oh my god, Dak Prescott got hurt. Nope, he's gonna 144 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: be okay. No, it's just like a old news that 145 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: he got hurt. We're just seeing what happened. No, but 146 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: when you realize in the moment, like he's so gung 147 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: home and he wants to play and he wants to 148 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: take every rep, but I want to throw all the passes, 149 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Mike McCarthy's like, what's 150 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: she's still doing out here? Shouldn't he be checked out here? 151 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: Like that? To me was wow? That that surprised me. Yes, 152 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: And what added to that whole thing to me of 153 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: Dak being like, I'm back, baby, I'm taking all the reps, 154 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm doing all this stuff. Mike McCarthy's like, whoa, take 155 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: it easy, you're gonna get hurt. We need to dial 156 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: this package. No way, I'm gonna be out there, and 157 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: then hear him go, oh crap, I hurt my shoulder. 158 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: That what made that more exciting was knowing the whole 159 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: time that at some point this dude's gonna hurt his shoulder. 160 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: And look at the way he's whipped and that ball 161 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: into the netties, you know, rolling out to his left 162 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: firing a ball into a net that's twenty yards away, 163 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: and you're like, dack, you're gonna hurt your shoulder. It's 164 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: happening any minute. I thought that that was really interesting 165 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: because we knew that he got hurt, we didn't know 166 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: how he got hurt. What was the reaction in camp 167 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: when he got hurt. I mean, there's a couple other things. 168 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: I thought that Mike McCarthy, let me show you movie 169 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: clips that seemed like it was, Hey, we gotta do 170 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: something to give Mike McCarthy a personality. How about we 171 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: do a movie that came out in two thousand and one. Yeah, 172 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: that'll do it. Because most of these guys saw all 173 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: that's right, they were probably just born. That felt like 174 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: it was pushed scripted. Jerry Jones having breakfast was it 175 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: was kind of interesting because he was putting salt on 176 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: his breakfast that probably had a ton of salt on 177 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: it already. But I thought that that was interesting. What else. 178 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: You know, the Zeke Elliott like they made Zeke Elliott 179 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: like he was like Huddley Puppy here and hey, I've 180 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: known Dak and this first time we're giving each other 181 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: a gift and he couldn't wrap the gift. And then 182 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: who shows up at the door Dak Prescott and then 183 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: Zeke is giving him a thirteen thousand dollars bag. That 184 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: felt like it was scripted. You know, there's NFL films HBO. 185 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: They do a wonderful job in capturing the real things. 186 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: There's a moment where Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator, is 187 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: calling down during the Hall of Fame game to Michael 188 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: Parsons to say, hey, you know, what did you what 189 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: did you do wrong in that play? And he spit 190 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: it out and Quinn's like, yep, you got it. And 191 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: then they want to shut him down in the first 192 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: half after the first half because he wants to make 193 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: every tackle. That to me, was interesting, but it should be. 194 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: You have all of those cameras, all of that access, 195 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: and then if the Cowboys want something out, then they 196 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: can edit something else. But you should be getting great moments. 197 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: It just felt like they staged a couple of them 198 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: McCarthy with the what was the movie Austin pass Empowers? Yeah, 199 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, yes, can't they just show old 200 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: footage from four years ago when Layton Vanderesh was going 201 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: to rip up the entire NFL. Why do I have 202 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: to uh redo it again? Yeah? Yes, Paul. It was 203 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: interesting with Dak. I just watched back to the clip. 204 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if he was like, um, compensating for being 205 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: out so long, Like I want to show these guys 206 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm out here every rap. I'm not injured anymore. I 207 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: got the big contract, but I'm one of you guys. 208 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm out here playing. It seemed like overcompensation. Oh sure, 209 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, but that's natural. They haven't played in a 210 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: long time. Now you get a chance to play. You 211 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: got fans there. You want to show your teammates are 212 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: all the way back. Nobody's talking about that ankle injury, 213 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: although they showed the scar, but it's like, hey, we're 214 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: good here, like are we? I mean, I hope. And 215 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: now it's the shoulder injury, the arm and injury, the 216 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: lad injury, whatever it is. We're still not quite sure. 217 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: But Hard Knocks episode one last night, Todd gives a 218 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: thumbs down. I will tune in next week, and I 219 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just wanted more that. I 220 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: do agree that there's something compelling about what happened with Dak, 221 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: but I guess. But all in all, it just didn't 222 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: do it for me the first game. Yeah, I'm surprised 223 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: you were expecting so much. I don't know, Cowboys Americas 224 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: to you. I thought, out of the box, there would 225 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: just be something juicy. I don't know exactly what that 226 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: would be. It's the kind of thing you know it 227 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: when you see it then, but we would have already 228 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: known it. Therefore, how juicy would it have been? Because 229 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: as you're saying, hey, wheready knew that Dak was getting 230 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: into I guess not necessarily breaking news, but something I 231 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm waiting for that. I like that stuff 232 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: where the guy that you start taking a liking to hey, 233 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: and is it going to get caught and all that stuff. 234 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: But I guess that'll come and oh, yeah, that's coming. 235 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: That's the formula. Now. I was surprised that you got 236 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: the marquee players right away. You got Jerry, you got Dak, 237 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: you got Zeke. Yeah, pol like everything with Todd hard 238 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: Knox was way better in the mid eighties when way better. Yeah, 239 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not the biggest hard Knox fan, but 240 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm just looking for little things. I go back to 241 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: when the Chargers were on hard just to see Justin 242 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: Herbert when he was throwing, to see the reaction of 243 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: the veterans. Was worth watching hard knocks with the Chargers 244 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: just that moment because you saw, because they try to 245 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: hide their emotions, you're not going to praise a rookie. 246 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: You're like, ah, he's a rookie. He's got to carry 247 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: my mike pads here. And you could see them stop 248 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: and watch, even the defensive players. He's just thrown it 249 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: into a net. And I went, wow, that is really 250 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: telling because players no players, you know, coaches don't know 251 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: players as well as players know players, or certainly the analyst. 252 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: These guys were going, this is something different. I haven't 253 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: seen that, and that was kind of that illuminated, you know, 254 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: my thought on Justin Herbert that this is not a project. 255 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: This isn't somebody's going to take a year or two. 256 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: And I thought that because he had accuracy issues. But 257 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: he is a big athlete, great athlete, and from what 258 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: we've seen so far. He's a franchise quarterback there, but 259 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: that was something that stood out. Yeah. We had a 260 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: poll question off the Hard Knocks and I was surprised 261 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: at the reaction. Who's the most famous owner in professional 262 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: sports right now? And the choices off the top of 263 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: my head or Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban. I can't 264 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: even think of anybody who would be third, and I 265 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: would think Jerry Jones. Yeah, but I if you only 266 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: have two candidate, it's probably not a good poll question. No, 267 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: it's not, but PAULI says it's Mark Cuban. Jerry Jones 268 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: is the biggest owner in football. Football is the biggest sport. 269 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: Mark Cuban. Six year olds know who he is. People 270 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: who don't know sports know who he is Mark because 271 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: of Shark Tank. Shark Tank has been on I think 272 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: like twelve years and does very well in the ratings. 273 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: A lot of people know him from that show and 274 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: nothing else. They know he's an owner, but they don't 275 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: have to watch the MAVs to know Mark Cubaniz. You 276 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: don't have to like sports in any way to know cubanist. 277 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: He's been in movies too. I guess Jerry has too. Yeah, yeah, 278 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: I would say Jerry Jones, but I understand the Shark 279 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: tank and Cuban is there at every game. But you know, 280 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: the reach of the Dallas Mavericks worldwide or even nationally 281 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: is very very small. I mean, they're dwarfed by the 282 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys in their own city. So March's not even the 283 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: most famous owner in his own city. Yeah. I think 284 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: part of it is everyone does a fund Jerry Jones impersonation, 285 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: Like I know you and Seed both have good ones. 286 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: It's a good thing to do well because he's a leader. 287 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: Dak is a leader, and that's what we need. We 288 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: need to we need to have him lead us if 289 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: we're going to lead this team into the playoffs, and 290 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: hopefully we get a lead with our leader and that 291 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: would lead us to another win and maybe another Super 292 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: Bowl sixteen after the hour, why are we bringing back 293 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: or enforcing reinforcing the taunting penalties? And also there was 294 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: a list that came out of the twenty five Is 295 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: that right, mclovin most interesting players going into training camp? 296 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: It was actually the most twenty five most interesting players 297 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: for this season this season, so it wasn't as much 298 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: training camp focus as to what we expect during this 299 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: season from the athletic and I want to add a 300 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: name to this list because over the next three weeks 301 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: this player will be as focused on, talked about as 302 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: probably any other player. I'll have that for you coming up. Yeah. 303 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: Hell of a tease is what that was. I hope 304 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: I can deliver. I don't want Todd to go yeah, 305 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: you tease, But like the Cowboys, you know you disappointed me. 306 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: We'll work our way up up.

Mclovin, What's the poll 337 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: question We're gonna go with? Do you like the NFL 338 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: enforcing its taunting rule more strictly, yes or no. The 339 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: early results as you'd expect our no. Tom Peliicero the 340 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: NFL Network said that the feeling within the Coaches subcommittee 341 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: as officials have gotten lax on players going face to face, 342 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: standing over people, pointing fingers, etc. They won't focus so 343 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: much on touchdown celebrations in this regard, but expect more 344 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: flags to be thrown. Let's start there with Albert Breer, 345 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: the senior NFL reporter for the Monday Morning Quarterback. He's 346 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: been at the Steelers, Vikings, Packers, Bears, Lions, Colts, Brown's, Bengal, Niners, Cardinals, Chargers, Cowboys, Rams, 347 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: Raiders camps. I should have just said the camps you 348 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: haven't been at. That might have been quicker there. Uh, 349 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: this feels like it came out of nowhere that we're 350 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: now enforcing the taunting rule here. Why, well, it's it's 351 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: not that unusual. I think normally this time of year, Dan, 352 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: they'll put out this video and this video actually gets 353 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: played for all the players within the thirty two teams. 354 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: And so the fact that we have this, uh, you 355 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: know this this rule clarification or emphasis that sort of 356 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: thing happens every year. UM, and I think it's probably 357 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: just to um, you know, like Tom, they're reported to 358 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: tone down some of the like I guess, confrontations on 359 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: the field that come from these sorts of things. And 360 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: we saw it in the Super Bowl. You know, Tyrone 361 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: Matthew and UM and Tom Brady got after each other, 362 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield and UH and Tyree Hill got after each other. 363 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: And so you know, I my guests would be, and 364 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: I dig I need to dig into this a little 365 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: bit more. My guests would be because they've like loosened 366 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: the rules on touchdown celebrations that maybe they feel like 367 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: that's sort of spilled over into celebrations of other plays 368 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: or taunting, and maybe they want to take care of that. 369 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: It's an emotional game, you know, so like I think 370 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: you have to let some stuff go. But my guests 371 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: would be that the coaches here would probably be looking 372 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: to try to avoid the sort of confrontations that we 373 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: saw on the Super Bowl. Yeah, but I like those confrontations. 374 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: I like them too. I'm all for them. But I mean, 375 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: like it's good for the drama. I mean, that's what 376 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: we're watching. This is soap opera for guys, right, if 377 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: that's sort of what football is. Yes, I like when 378 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: it's not scripted. I like when you get true emotion. 379 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: And usually the NFL plays to the fans, like what 380 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: are the fans upset about? What are the fans want? 381 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: It feels like they actu esque. I don't know if 382 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: there was this outcry from the fans saying we're tired 383 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: of seeing taunting, the coaches might feel like I've already 384 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: got enough to manage. I don't want to have to 385 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: manage my player's behavior. Okay, that's my guess, right, Like 386 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: I've got enough problems out here, fair Like, I don't 387 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: want to have to be getting on you know, my 388 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: rookie defensive back game fun Winfield forgiven Tyree Hill the 389 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: peace sign. You know, any other rule changes that happened 390 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: that maybe weren't on the front burner now. I mean, 391 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: I I'm just trying to think of like that. I mean, like, 392 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: you know, one that one to me that I think 393 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: it's a bigger deal than people realize, is that they 394 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: outlawed cut blocking outside of the tackle box. And I 395 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: don't think people recognize how common that is, like outside 396 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: zone runs and then almost every screen path. I mean, 397 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: how many screens have you seen where there isn't someone 398 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: a lineman cutting, a linebacker cutting a defensive back. You know, Now, 399 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: if you eliminate some of that, like, I think that 400 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: could wind up having a sneaky big impact, just because 401 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: of the way those things are taught, you know. And look, 402 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I think defensive players are going to applaud this because 403 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: you know what every defensive player would tell you is 404 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: you've been pretending the offensive players forever and here we 405 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: got people going after our knees. You know, we have 406 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: like a stuff happening underneath the pile. And you know, 407 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: I think defensive players would applaud this, But it's just 408 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: as far as like the flow of the game. One 409 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: that I think slipped under the radar a little bit 410 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: this offseason would be that one the further outlying of 411 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: cup blocking, which again I think it's going to have 412 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: an effect on outside runs and I think it's also 413 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: going to have a really big effect on screens. Maybe 414 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: that's not the sexiest thing in the world, but I 415 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: think there'll be an impact there. The Athletic had a 416 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: column the twenty five most intriguing players for the twenty 417 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: twenty one NFL season, and even though this player who 418 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: wasn't on the list might not have an big impact 419 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: on the regular season, I don't know if there's a 420 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: player under a more watchful eye than Jordan Love, because 421 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: now he's going to play all these preseason games. Now 422 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: we get to see just how good he is and 423 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: what that means for the possible future. If you're a 424 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: Packer fan and you see progress there, you might not 425 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: be holding on for your life to Aaron Rodgers. That 426 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: you might realize we do have something here, or oh 427 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: my god, we got to hold on to Aaron Rodgers. 428 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: Is there somebody who's more intriguing in the preseason than 429 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Love and your Well, so think about this, Dan, 430 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: all right? So last year, no OTAs, no mini camp. 431 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: They get to training camp, and really every coach is 432 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: in the mode where we only have enough practice time 433 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: to get our starters ready. Right, backups don't really backup. 434 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks don't really run the offense during the season. So 435 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Love wasn't getting a lot of reps in the 436 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: summer because they're getting Aaron Rodgers ready, didn't wasn't able 437 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: to run the Packers offense much in the fall because 438 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: he's running the scout team. And then they get to 439 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: the spring and I had a coach there tell me 440 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: that if they ran three hundred reps in OTAs, and 441 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: this is just like a guestament. They ran three hundred 442 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: reps in the OTAs for the offense, Jordan Love took 443 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy of them. So that's about that's 444 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: across the first team, second team, all those guys. So 445 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: you have this guy from getting almost no reps and 446 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: they didn't feel like he was ready at all coming 447 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: out of last year, which is one of the reasons 448 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: why they were so adamant about holding onto Aaron Rodgers. 449 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: And then they had him drinking out of a fire 450 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: hose in essence with Rogers gone in the spring. So 451 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: this is I'm with you, this is going to be 452 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: fascinating seeing how he looks. And without question, you know 453 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: this position that Packers are in after this year where 454 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna have Aaron Rodgers going into a contract year 455 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to make a decision on what 456 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: to do with him, and he could refuse to sign 457 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: a deal and they could be forced to trade him. 458 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: They could extend him all of that I think is 459 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: colored by what happens with Jordan Love. And you know, 460 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: the Packers have spent the last three four months trying 461 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: to get like progress from Jordan Love, and now I 462 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: think with these games, they're going to be looking to 463 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: get answers on what Jordan Love is. And I think again, 464 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: like that could have a massive impact on the way 465 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: that they approach next February March. The worst backup quarterback situation? 466 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: Which team? Jets? Maybe? Um, you know, I like, how 467 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: about a competitive team? Did you know James Morgan is 468 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: because the Jets. Yeah, but a competitive team? A competitive team. Um, 469 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: if I was the Rams, I wouldn't feel tremendous about 470 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: what they've got behind Matthew Stafford. Are you confident with 471 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Cowboys are the one though? Yeah? I mean 472 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: you look at bet Nucci. Yeah, if I was the Cowboys, 473 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: like you, combine the fact that Dak is coming off 474 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: of an injury and you don't have much behind him, um, 475 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: and you didn't replace Andy Dalton, and yeah, I mean 476 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are right there because at least 477 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: the Rams played their backup last year. I mean, Benda 478 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: Nucci got snaps, but I think I think a problem 479 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: without like taking a look at every single one of 480 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: them individually. The Colts, I think the Cowboys are there, 481 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: the Colts, so Jacob. But the thing is, like Jacob 482 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: Eason at least had some level of pedigree, played big 483 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: time college football, has skill like like skill sets, fine, 484 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? With him, it's just after 485 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: the snap, he doesn't see it very well. And I 486 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: think that's part of why Sam Ellinger got got some reps. 487 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: But at least they've got a couple of guys they've 488 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: drafted that are in the pipeline, like I wouldn't. I 489 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: think if you ask most teams, they would take Jacob 490 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: Eason over Bend Nucci just based on talent because at 491 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: least Easton there's a ceiling there and he played at 492 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: University of Georgie, played at the University of Washington. I think, 493 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, you'd feel more comfortable about going into a game. 494 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: And that's what this is really about, right, Like going 495 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: into one game. I think you feel more comfortable going 496 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: into a game with Jacob Eason than you would Bend Nucci. 497 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: Here's some good situations. The Raiders have Marcus Mariota, Browns 498 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: have case Keenum, Jags with Gardner Minshew. The Saints are 499 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: gonna have either one of the others, yeah, or Jamis 500 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: and they could both be bad. Dolphins have Jacoby Brissette, Um, Bears, Niners, 501 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: Patriots with rookie quarterbacks. I mean even Blaine Gabbert isn't horrible, right, 502 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: Like that's fine. I mean you wouldn't want to be 503 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: your starter. But they drafted Kyle Trask too, right, Yeah, 504 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: So like they've got like a you know, veteran guy 505 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: and then a developmental guy. So they're okay. Chiefs have 506 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: Chad Henny, Seahawks fine, Gino Smith. I mean they're gonna 507 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: have experience. You know, you're not going to have, you know, 508 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: I mean like most teams aren't going to have like 509 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton as a backup like the Cowboys did last year. 510 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: And so I mean having a guy, you know, like 511 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: a Jacoby Brissette or a Gino Smith. Um, how did 512 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: the Jets not have an established backup quarterback who is 513 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: not non threatening? And that's why I still think, like 514 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: I still look at it, and I don't think Nick 515 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: Foles wants to go to the Jets, and maybe that's 516 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: a factor in this whole thing. But I think Nick 517 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: Foles would be perfect for the Jets the general manager there. 518 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas was with Nick Foles in Philadelphia. And wouldn't 519 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: you want Zach Wilson Beyonce is what you're saying, like, 520 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: which is the in case of emergency break glassing, wouldn't 521 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: you want Zach Wilson to have like a veteran guy 522 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: in the room as like a sounding board, you know, 523 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: like the guy who's been there and done it and 524 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: like who can be a resource for him, right, Like 525 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: you'd want to have somebody like that in the room. 526 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I think that I wouldn't be 527 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: surprised that the Jets make a move to put somebody 528 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: like that in the room for Zach Wilson. It's great 529 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: to catch up with you as always. The best training 530 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: camp stop that you had was weird. And I'll tell 531 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: you what, Like watching the Rams practice right now, I 532 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna pick the Packers to win the NFC, 533 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: But the Rams have really they really made me think 534 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: about it. I mean, I just the way the operation 535 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: runs and the way Matthew Stafford looks and just watching 536 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: where he Morris is the new defensive coordinator, and watching 537 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: the way Jeale and Ramsey is with his teammates, there's 538 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: a really good vibe there. And can't beat the weather 539 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: down there either. So give me the team that you 540 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: came away going, oh like, oh like in a bad way. Yeah, 541 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: so hard this time of year to say that about anybody. 542 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: The Steeler's offensive line I would be concerned with. I 543 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: would just like that. When I was there, they had 544 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: a rookie at left tackle and Dan Moore a rookie 545 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: at center. I just be concerned about that offensive line. 546 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: And I think the defense is gonna be really good. 547 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 1: Is the defense is gonna be like like James Ferrier, 548 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: Troy Polamalo, James Harrison carried the team good. I think, 549 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: at least for a little while while they figure out 550 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line they might need to be. So that 551 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: was the one that really sort of stuck out to me, 552 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: was that Steeler's offensive line. And Mike Tomin always figures 553 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: this stuff out. That Steeler's offensive line would have me 554 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: pretty worried if I was there. Oh, this was brought 555 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: up by one of our list. There's why are Mike 556 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: Shanahan and Mike Holmegren not in the Hall of Fame. 557 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't Mike Shanahan to me should be. I mean, 558 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: if the Hall of Fame is about like the story 559 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: of pro football and like the impact you've had on 560 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: pro football, how many teams are running Shanahan's offense twenty 561 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: five years after like he like, because you remember what 562 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: it was like in ninety six. No one knew what 563 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: to do with that run game. It basically pumped life 564 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: into John Elway's career the very end. Like that offense 565 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: that went in twenty five years ago, Half the league's 566 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: running it now, Like people who don't like offensive coaches 567 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: who don't know it are trying to get on staffs 568 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: that run it so they can learn it, you know 569 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like like how he won two Super 570 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: Bowls and then the impact that he had on football overall. 571 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: I like, I don't know why he isn't. And Holgren. 572 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: I think Holmegern's there too. He's went to the Super 573 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: Bowl with two different teams, and his coaching trees ridiculous. 574 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: Like you look at those Packers staffs and the guys 575 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: that were on those staffs and Steve Mariucci and John 576 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: Gruden and like you go up and down the line, like, 577 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: both those guys at least deserve consideration. I think Shanahan 578 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: should be in, and I'm surprised he isn't. And when 579 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,479 Speaker 1: I look at like Bill Cower and Jimmy Johnson, all 580 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: due respect to those guys, I think Shanahan is easily 581 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: on those guys level. Yeah, I do too. And I 582 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: think you're gonna look at Bill Koer and you're gonna 583 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: have other coaches be compared to Bill Cowher. So Mike 584 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: Tomlin is already a Hall of Fame coach in my opinion, 585 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: right right right now. If Cower's in, Mike Tomlin's going 586 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: to be in. Yeah. And I think, you know, to me, 587 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: like it's it's tough with coaches because I think it's 588 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: not just success, it's like legacy, it's the impact, you 589 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's not just like Tony Dungee, 590 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: for example, like the impact that Tony Dungee had. Now, 591 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: Tony Dungee only won one Super Bowl, but Tony Dungee's 592 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: impact on football, the first African American coach to win 593 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, the like amount of assistance that he 594 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: had that became really good head coaches, Like, like I 595 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: don't think you argued Tony Dungee's a Hall of Famer, 596 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: but it's not about his overall record, because there are 597 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people who could match his record. It's 598 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: Tony Dungee's impact on the game of football. And you know, 599 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: I think that that's sort of what you have to 600 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: look at with some of these coaches. That's why I 601 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: stay with Shanahan, Like his impact is undeniable. I mean, 602 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: look across the league, Sean McVay, his son Kyle, and 603 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco Matt Lafleur, Arthur Smith who like never coached 604 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: for him, but was influenced by him because he learned 605 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: his offense from Lafleur. Like the branches of his tree 606 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: are all over the place. And so I think you 607 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: have to consider impact on the game. And that to 608 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: me is like where you separate the guys. You know, 609 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: some guys who have won one or two versus other 610 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 1: guys who have won one or two. Which you know 611 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: which ones are? Which ones do you give entrance to 612 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame With the other coaches who have 613 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: won four Super Bowls? You know, the guys like Bill 614 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: Walsh and Bill Belichick and Chuck Nole, great to talk 615 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: to you. Albert, thanks for joining us as always. All right, 616 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: thanks Dan. That's Albert Breer, senior NFL Rep quarter for 617 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: the Monday Morning Quarterback. He's good and I always learned 618 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: something when he's on James in California. Hey James, good morning. 619 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: What do you have for me today? The first time 620 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: long time six one, two twenty. Yeah. You just mentioned 621 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: on your show yesterday that kind of what the folk 622 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: point was going to be for Hard Knocks first episode 623 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: not really focusing on the stars. They I felt like 624 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: the whole episode was really focused on Dak Prescott. Yeah. Ze, 625 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of Michael Parsons was kind of were 626 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: you surprised on that or Yeah, But it feels like 627 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: they always start with that and then eventually Hard Knocks 628 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: is going to be about secondary players. You know, is 629 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: there a rift, a fight in practice? They it's formulaic 630 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: what Hard Knocks has. Did I think that they would 631 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: start out with so much on Dak I didn't, But 632 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: then they had all of this footage. They had the 633 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: audible of the audio of him talking about, Hey, I'm 634 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: going to go out there and I want every snap 635 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: and he was gung ho, and then Mike McCarthy saying, hey, 636 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: is anybody checking him out? You're gonna go out there 637 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: and get hurt. They had that. We didn't know exactly. 638 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: It's still a mystery to us this injury. They had 639 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: the audio of that, and that to me was really strong. 640 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott trying to wrap a birthday present for Dak. 641 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: I didn't need to see it felt like it was scripted. 642 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: And the fact that Dak shows up right after he's 643 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: finished rapping the present, Oh wow, what timing. Crazy. Those 644 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: guys are crazy. Jerry Jones putting salt on every bite 645 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: of his egg McMuffin or whatever that was. While it's 646 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: not news, it was fascinating to watch it. I'm waiting 647 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: to hear the Cowboys have signed a deal with McDonald's. 648 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: Jerry announced that today. But you know, all it is is, 649 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: it's just it's football. They're talking football, playing football, and 650 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: that's all we want.

Eric and Florida joins 688 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: US high. Eric, what's on your mind today? Hey, Dan 689 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: Um long time second time five nine two ten, Yeah, 690 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 1: I was just curious up for you and the rest 691 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: of the day. At when you have something like hard 692 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: Knocks or a game, you tell your family and and 693 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: children that you need to or you have to for 694 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: work purposes so you can watch it and you know privately, 695 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: or or you just watch it, you know, just randomly um, 696 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: you know wherever you want. Well, it's a little different 697 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: from me because my kids are grown and it's not 698 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: like I have to run it by my wife. But 699 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: there are times when I'll say, hey, I got to 700 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: watch this. And it's not all the time because you 701 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,720 Speaker 1: can't watch everything. But you have to know about everything. 702 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: You have to know a little bit about a lot 703 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: and a lot about a little depending on what the 704 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: topic is. But no, with Hard Knocks, just watch. There's 705 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: no permission needed, granted any of that. It's just this 706 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: is this is something that I'm interested in watching, or 707 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: I need to watch this, this is a game that 708 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: I need to watch. But no, I don't. I don't 709 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: have to do that. Yeah, Paully. There is a bit 710 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: of a dance though for us, because like if I'm 711 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: watching l Shu versus Alabama, say to my wife, it's 712 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, one versus two. Okay, she's great. Last night, 713 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: I'm trying to watch Detroit Pistons Houston Rockets Summer League game, 714 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: Kid Cunningham versus Jalen Green. It was actually good TV. 715 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: Yeah she's oh the NBA still one. I go, oh yeah, yeah, 716 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: And I'm hoping she hasn't asked, is this summer league? 717 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: She you know, she just thinks it's a regular season game. Yeah, 718 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,399 Speaker 1: but if I had to sell a summer league game 719 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: over CSI Miami, I'm gonna lose that one. Yeah, but 720 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: that was one versus two and it turned out to 721 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: be really entertaining because Jalen Greene gets buckets man of 722 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: all of these draft picks this year, he scores, and 723 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: what he did in the G League, really he's got 724 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: a headstart. He got a headstart on everybody because he 725 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: was doing that against players who had been in the league. 726 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to showcase their tallenge in the G League 727 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: and that was entertaining last night, and he got the 728 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: better of Kate Cunningham. Granted it's only summer league, but 729 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 1: they're taking it very seriously. McLevin pulled question today kind 730 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: of surprising. Do you want the NFL to enforce its 731 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: taunting rule more strictly? Only fifty seven percent say no, 732 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 1: So that means forty three percent do want this taunting 733 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: os Okay, I thought it'd be like eighty twenty. Yeah, 734 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm curious with the demographics of who doesn't like it, 735 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: who does? Yeah, Seton, I just don't know what the 736 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: line is there. Obviously, there has to be a ton 737 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: of gray area in here, and right, you can certainly 738 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: go overboard with taunting, right that, we've seen that a 739 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: million times, but there is sort of that emotional gray 740 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 1: area in the middle. And I don't know how they're 741 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: going to police that. It's a physical game, it's an 742 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: emotional game. You can't, you know, tackle somebody like that 743 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: and play that hard and then get up and just 744 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, now, let's commonly go on to the 745 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: next play. I don't know, it just seems it seems 746 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: like it's going to be tough to figure that out. 747 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: The Deshaun Watson situation is a gray area getting murkier 748 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: because the checks AND's GM. Nick Kusserio was on Sports 749 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: Radio six ten in Houston yesterday and he had this 750 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: to say about Deshaun Watson playing for Houston. Are you 751 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: still hopeful that he plays for you? Guys? I think 752 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: we've been consistent from the beginning. You know, we're not 753 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: going to comment about personal situations and what's going to happen, 754 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: what could happen, what is likely to happen. Again, I 755 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: think there's been a lot of discussion, a lot of speculation. 756 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: Quite frankly, our philosophy has been just take it one 757 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: day at a time and just keep moving forward with 758 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: its team. It's not a personal situation. It's a football question. 759 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: Just is your franchise quarterback going to start Week one 760 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,959 Speaker 1: of the regular season? Yes? Or no? Do you plan 761 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: on Deshaun Watson starting Week one? Yes or no? He's eligible? 762 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: And at some point does somebody say we're going to 763 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: give you this and the Texans go all right, let's 764 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: be done with it. Yes, But isn't there this whole 765 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: other part of the story where de Shaun Watson said 766 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: he won't play for them and he wants to be traded. Yes, 767 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: So I mean, even if he was going to be 768 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: the Week one starter, he won't be because he won't play. Well, 769 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: he's being paid. Does he want to continue to be paid? 770 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 1: And if you don't want to continue to be paid, 771 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: then we'll suspend you. Then does he want to play 772 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: for the Texans because he's making thirty five forty million 773 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: dollars a year? My guess is probably so certainly a 774 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,919 Speaker 1: money where your mouth is scenario looming. There's no doubt 775 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: everybody say you don't want to play? Are you refusing 776 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 1: to play? And if that's the case, then we don't 777 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: have to pay you. Yes, Ton innocent, soil proven guilty. 778 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: But teams, how much should they be worried about the 779 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: pr hit of bringing in DeShawn Watson or is that 780 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: a fleeting thing and people will forget it as long 781 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: as he plays? Well, what do you think it is? 782 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,280 Speaker 1: I think you. I don't think it's a good idea 783 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: to be training anytime soon for Deshaun Watson. If the 784 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: Broncos picked up Deshaun Watson, you would stop being a 785 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: Broncos fan. I would not, but I would I initially, 786 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: but that's what they're paying. I know, but I initially 787 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: would be like that, that's questionable. And you're gonna probably 788 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: have people possibly outside marching, and it's going to be 789 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: a major pr hit and you're hoping it's not gonna 790 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: last very long and he'll be a great quarterback and 791 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: that everybody because do you? But do fans care? Like 792 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a group that you know cares? You know, 793 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: people people protested when Michael Vick came to Philadelphia. I 794 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 1: don't think anybody thought this guy's going to get a 795 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: second chance. He killed dogs, he went to prison, he's 796 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,919 Speaker 1: getting out. I mean, Tyree Hill, he's got issues, He's 797 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: still Ben Roethlisberger went through thing. I mean, it happens. 798 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: We move on. You know what that says about us 799 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: is football fans. You know everything is transactional, interchangeable. All right, 800 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 1: that guy all right? Bringing another guy? Yeah. See, I 801 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: just don't understand from the Texans point of view, if 802 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: he's still worth it. He's got all of these accusations, 803 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: and then on top of that, he doesn't even want 804 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 1: to play for your team anymore. What are you holding 805 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 1: onto Let's get rid of him. Well, you don't want 806 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 1: to get a second round pick for him? I think 807 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: that's and Nick as Sario worked under Bill Belichick. It 808 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he's going to sell low. Coming up 809 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: next hour, we'll hear from Russell Westbrook. Tara Owens tells 810 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: us if Tony Romo should be a Hall of Famer. 811 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: One more item we close out the first hour. Summer's 812 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: coming to an end. That means football is going to 813 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: be year.
