24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: our favorite segments from the week and put it onto

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: one podcast. And this week I dove into some of

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks because they had their mini camps. Then

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Jared Goff became an even richer man. He was already

28
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: he'd already made a lot of money, but he got

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: a massive extension. What that means for the Lions? Does

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City schedule even matter at this point? I mean, honestly,

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: So we're going to dive into that, and then the

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: core with the most to prove, and then Netflix they

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: get the Christmas games. They sign a three year deal

34
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: with the NFL. Are we looking at a full slate

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: in the next five years on Netflix? You will not

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: find me complaining about that, because streaming services have become

37
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: a go to spot for people to be critical of

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: the NFL making us pay too much money to watch

39
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: the game we love and have some thoughts there with Netflix,

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: so subscribe to the podcast if you listen on Collins Feed.

58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: dive into some football. So let's dive into the rookie quarterbacks.

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: A lot going on first and foremost on Friday. I

60
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: originally thought it was a pretty big deal. Like I

61
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: was gonna give eber Flus a lot of credit when

62
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: they just go Have you talked to Kleb Williams how

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: this process, the competition of training camp? Starting quarterback? Is

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: he the starting quarterback? Have you told him he's a

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback? He's like, no, he's the starting quarterback. I

66
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: don't need to tell him that. And I was like,

67
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: you know that that's the way to handle it because

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: one of my things all with some of these coaches,

69
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: especially defensive guys, like compete. We gotta earn it in practice.

70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: And then I just typed in right before I hopped on,

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, do they even have like an older veteran

72
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: on the roster, you know, like a Flacco, a Mariota,

73
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: just some of those names that are around the league.

74
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: They do not. I mean they got like Tyson Badget

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: and Ripping. So it was an easy one for him.

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: But I do appreciate just there's no competition, there's no

77
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, we'll just we'll start it out. We'll see

78
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: where he's at mentally like, no, he's the starting quarterback.

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't care if John Middle coops the backup, I

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: don't care if Joe Montana and sixty years old is

81
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: the backup, regardless who's on the roster, Kayleb Williams starter

82
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: immediately when everyone gets together on Monday morning obviously at

83
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: rookie mini camp and starting the first day, we're all

84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: on the field together sometime this next week or two.

85
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: So the Bears, and this is the thing. The Packers

86
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: have had a huge advantage in that division. For thirty years.

87
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: They have easily been the best run organization in the

88
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: NFC North. Right, the Bears have been very up and

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: down with just their organizational structure. The Lions, for the

90
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: most part, have been a disaster. Let's face it. I mean,

91
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: all Lions fans know these last couple of years is

92
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: so cool because it's never felt like this. It's like,

93
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: we got real coaches, we got real players, we got

94
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: a real plan. Wait are we the Detroit Lions or

95
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: we the Pittsburgh Steelers. And Minnesota's definitely had their moments

96
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: of being well run, but they've also seen some weird

97
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: times as well. The Packers have been set the standard

98
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: for consistency and now it feels like and this is

99
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: why so many people are high on that division is

100
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: because a bunch of teams are well run. Now, that's

101
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: why you play the games on the field. But you

102
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: know the Bears eber Flus with his new look easy,

103
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: this guy's are starting quarterback. I would have actually thinking

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: about it, shocked that they didn't sniff around. I don't

105
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: know that five million dollar mark for just a veteran backup.

106
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: Just basic principles of what it's like to be in

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, like this is usually what we do. This

108
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: is how we handled it, even a Flacco type, right,

109
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: This is how I prepare. This is what time I

110
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: get up, This is what I like to do instead

111
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: of just Caleb looks around, he sees Tyson Badget. But

112
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I I like where the Bears are headed. And honestly

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, the schedules coming out this week. I

114
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: think Bears Packers should be either Sunday or Monday night football.

115
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: Obviously the Chiefs play on Thursday night. There was a

116
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: rumor floating around that is Chiefs Ravens Personally, I would

117
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: go Chiefs Chargers. I would go Chiefs Chargers. Jim Harbaugh's

118
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: first game Chargers to me, they did that a couple

119
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: of years ago. If you remember Amazon's first game was

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Chief Chargers, and that was with Brandon Staley and it

121
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: was fantastic. I would go Chief Charge But if they

122
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: go Chiefs Ravens, I can't complain. And I would go

123
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: some route of either Niners Cowboys Sunday Night or Monday

124
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Night and Packers Bears. Now maybe they'll want to mix

125
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: in an AFC team. You could go a little curveball

126
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: if you went Packers Bears Monday Night football, that would

127
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: be a Monday Night football game. Packers Bears. You could

128
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: go Niners Jets, I think would be pretty good. Aaron

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Rodgers game, but I think Niners Cowboys forever. They loved

130
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: going in some you know rotation Cowboys at Giants or

131
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Giants at Cowboys. But the Giants have basically sucked for

132
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, eight nine years beside two years ago when

133
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: they won nine games. But the Cowboys are a no

134
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: brainer to get an enormous number, and the Niners are

135
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: top two or three when they're good rating team in

136
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. So that's probably what they end up doing.

137
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: But I do hope that Packers Bears. I think Monday

138
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Night how badass. That Caleb's first game. All the Jordan

139
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: love hype that would be sweet. I do hope they

140
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: go Harbob, but it does feel like they're going to

141
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: go Ravens. All we've ever talked about when it comes

142
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: to young quarterbacks is, you know, guys that get highly drafted,

143
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: and I would include second round players. Where do you

144
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: get drafted? What is your landing spot right? What type

145
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: team do you go to? And for the most part,

146
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: guys that get drafted high, as we all know, get

147
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: drafted to such bad teams. If I hire you out

148
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: of wherever you went to college at twenty two to

149
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: twenty three years old, and I put you in a

150
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: company that is an absolute disaster, you individually plot probably

151
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: will not have that much success. Ninety nine percent of

152
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: people cannot rise above dysfunction when they're young. I know

153
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't, and I know most people I've ever met

154
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: could not as well. But when you get to go

155
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: to just a normal company, let alone high functioning one,

156
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: you are going to be put in position to succeed.

157
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: And then as time goes it weeds out the haves

158
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: and haves nots. But I know for my own experience,

159
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: I got to go to Fresno State right after I

160
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: graduated from cal poly Pat Hill, who had been there

161
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: for a long time. The program was successful. It was

162
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: an incredible landing spot. I got very, very lucky. I

163
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of friends that graduated, and you know,

164
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: when we graduated in like the eight range, a lot

165
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: of these companies in the Bay area were really taken off,

166
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: and it was an oracle Facebook. You know, Apple had

167
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: been around for a long time but was going to

168
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: another stratosphere and if you got in right there, a

169
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: lot of them had a lot of financial success. It

170
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: was a good time. So bow Knicks, I wouldn't say

171
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: got shpit on, but most people thought that's crazy. You

172
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: can't draft bow Knicks there. So earlier today, I'm kind

173
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: of bored, just kind of lounging around on Sunday, grabbed

174
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: the iPad and I just typed in some basically cut

175
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: ups highlights of bo Nicks. And I've watched him play

176
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of years because I'm a twelve homer

177
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: and that conference no longer exists. Do you know who?

178
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: He kind of reminded me of watching him play a

179
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of and I thought these two guys were very

180
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: similar players in college. Derek's got a better arm, but

181
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo, and both those guys who

182
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: were drafted in the second round went on relative to

183
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: where they were drafted to have a ton of success

184
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: and make a ton of money. Now, Derek's career has

185
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: been up and down, but I had a front row

186
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: seat in the organization that he had to play in

187
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: for a long time. And I'm not defending him. I'm

188
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: not acting like if he would have gone to the

189
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers or Andy Reid, he would have been some

190
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. But I think his career looks a

191
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: lot different if he doesn't go to one of the

192
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: more chaotic places for eight nine years than the place

193
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: he went to in the Raiders, and he was still

194
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: relatively pretty good. Jimmy Garoppolo is a good example of

195
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: a guy. Now he went later in the second round

196
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: than Derek, where'd he get to go? Well, he immediately

197
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: gets to go sit in a room with Tom Brady

198
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: for three half years, be coached by Josh McDaniels, who's

199
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: terrible head coach, damn good offensive coordinator, and being around

200
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, and then when he gets traded, Belichick trades

201
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: him to Kyle Shanahan, and his career on the field

202
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: in terms of wins and losses, has a lot of success.

203
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: And I watched bon Nix, I'm like, I see a

204
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: lot of those guys, similar size, similar movement. Both those

205
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: guys were better athletes when they were younger and pretty accurate. Now.

206
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he has the most explosive arm in

207
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: the draft, but watching him like, he's got a pretty

208
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: good arm, throws pretty well on the run. And then

209
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: it came up on my YouTube page, Sean Payton talking like,

210
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: yeah he was. We're very, very excited to have him here,

211
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: and all we've hammered home over the years is like

212
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: where you go to really matters. Patrick Mahomes obviously is

213
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: one of the best players we've ever seen, but we

214
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: all agree he really benefited from going to Andy Reid

215
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: and just a lot of recent quarterbacks that got drafted,

216
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: like when Josh Allen, the Bills took a chance on him.

217
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: Their offensive coordinator was Brian David and obviously was very

218
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: very important in the growth of him as a player.

219
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was an absolute laughingstock his first year. I

220
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: mean some people thought like, is this even an NFL player?

221
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher gets fired, Sean McVay comes in, and the

222
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: rest is history. There was a little bump in the

223
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: road at the end of his LA time, but he's

224
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: gone on to have a very, very successful career. So

225
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: I watched Bo Nicks and any any Oregon fan, and

226
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of them out there. Go he. I mean,

227
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: last year his statistics were insane. The knock on him

228
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: is a lot of bubble screens and stuff. Okay, just

229
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: remove those. Can he throw on the run? Can he

230
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: be accurate down the field? Can he understand the offense? Well?

231
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: Sean Payton believes he can. And here's the other thing

232
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: we know, Sean Payton is also the offensive coordinator. So

233
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: did he get quote unquote overdrafted in the history of

234
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: the league, does a guy like him usually go fourteen? No?

235
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: But if you did redrafts, which has never happened in

236
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: the history of mankind. But if there ever were guys

237
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, would obviously not

238
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: have gone where they went. They would have gone a

239
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: lot higher in their drafts. They all would have gone

240
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen, maybe not one overall, but they

241
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: ain't going twenty fifth. So if you can look at

242
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: it like that, the cost of quarterback inflation is what

243
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: it is. We see it every day in our lives.

244
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: The cost of everything we do is a lot more.

245
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: It's still if you need a car, if you need

246
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: a home, like these things are the price. So we

247
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: know it's well established. Now if there is a quarterback

248
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: that has any talent and has any success in college

249
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: at a bigger program, and has any hype like he's

250
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: not lasting, they'll pick fifty anymore. Those days are done.

251
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: They're over. No matter how many of these guys like

252
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, mac Jones, and Justin Fields flame

253
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: out and get moved on for fourth and six round picks,

254
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: don't get their fifth round option picked up. It didn't

255
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: impact this class one iota. But if you're Sean Payton

256
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: and you go, god, I see a lot of similarities

257
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: in those guys who I would have loved to have

258
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: as we transition off Drew Brees, because I think I

259
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: can win with that guy. And I've always been a

260
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: huge fan of the draft from the marketplace standpoint, like

261
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: you don't need to draft that guy right there, You

262
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: could have got him two rounds later. But I hear

263
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: a lot in the draft, like, you know, this guy

264
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: was probably more of a second round pick. Well, they

265
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: drafted him at pick thirty one. I'll just use an example,

266
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: because the Niners took a lot of criticism for Ricky Priersoll.

267
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: No clue how this guy's going to be in the NFL.

268
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: I would say Kyle is a pretty good track record

269
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: recently of drafting wide receivers and knows exactly what he wants.

270
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: Most people would say, that's pretty rich. You know, he's

271
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: a top fifty player, but pick thirty one, Well, they

272
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: don't pick again, They'll pick sixty four, so they don't

273
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: have that. If they like him and there's no one

274
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: else in the group that they feel comfortable with. If

275
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: he's their highest graded player, why not take him now?

276
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: When you take a guy like God, And this is

277
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: what happened to Belichick at the end of his run,

278
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: Like God, he just took a guy in the second

279
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: round that we had fifth round grades on, Like, that's insane.

280
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: When you do stuff like that, I push back. But

281
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to bo Nicks, like if you view

282
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: him anywhere in the world of Jimmy Garoppolo, or Derek Carr.

283
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: It's an easy pick that has nothing to do with

284
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: how it's gonna look. I'm just talking about the value

285
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: the guy, and I think a skill set actually is

286
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: better than he gets credit for at least, and part

287
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: of it is you get you know, there's so much

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: air taken out of the room when we talked about Caleb, rightfully,

289
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: so one of the bigger name prospects I would say

290
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: of my life, I mean seriously, I would say Andrew

291
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Lucks probably the most hype prospect of my life. You know,

292
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning I was in like junior high, don't quite remember,

293
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: but obviously he was a highly touted everyone was talking

294
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: about him. But part of that draft was like Peyton Manning,

295
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf, I would say, Matt Stafford, Cam Newton. Those

296
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: guys were really highly touted and Trevor Lawrence and I

297
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: would put Caleb right in the mix, right behind Andrew

298
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: Luck in terms of hype, in terms of no brainer,

299
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: in terms of would have been the number one pick

300
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: in the draft for multiple years had he not, you know,

301
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: Andrew returned to school, Caleb didn't have an option. If

302
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: Caleb could have come out last year, he would have

303
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: and he would have been the top pick. So I

304
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: just think that I just wonder if bo Nicks is

305
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: going to be a lot better than people think, just

306
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: because I think he's gonna be able to function that offense,

307
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: and if he's more talented than people realize. Now, is

308
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: there team good enough? Is the talent just on the

309
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: roster good enough for the team to be competitive? There

310
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: are a lot of unanswered questions. But here's the one

311
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: thing I know. The head coach is also the play caller,

312
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: and for a long period of time before everyone has

313
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: been shitting on him, and he deserved it. Last year,

314
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean last early on in the season, like what's

315
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: going on part of it, by the end of its Russell Wilson,

316
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: I defended him for the way he got Rod Russell Wilson,

317
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: you don't like the guy point of keeping him, you

318
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: didn't sign a contract, get him out of the building,

319
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: especially when he's kind of a weirdo. But that's something

320
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. It really is. And I

321
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: love when videos go viral. This one I just saw

322
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: on the internet was side by side of Drake May

323
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: throwing a football, both of them throwing like a deep

324
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: basically a guy down the seam and Jayden Daniels throwing

325
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: the football and the ball is down the field with

326
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels before it's out of Drake May's hands. And

327
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about this with the with Drake

328
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: May situation, Like Brian Day Ball was interested, Kevin O'Connell

329
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: was interested. It was a project, and part of dealing

330
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: with a project is fixing him. And there's a lot

331
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: to work with the measurables, the character, everything, but like

332
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: you got to attempt to fix some stuff and it's

333
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: very very hard. I love golf and I played Friday

334
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: and Saturday, and I got a lesson probably two months ago,

335
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: and I've been working on some things, but I would

336
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: say the majority of my shots are muscle memory, and

337
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: it resorts back any human being that has played any

338
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: sport that tries to change something that is different from

339
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: what they inherently do, it can be a very big challenge.

340
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: So I'm fascinated, Like, I don't blame them for picking them, especially,

341
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: And I said, if you're telling me, Dave Ball wanted

342
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: them and Kevin O'Connell wanted them probably, and they've even

343
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: said this, like we knew the team's interested. It actually

344
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: just you know, hammered home and reiterated our fascination or

345
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: intrigue and just love of this player. But for now

346
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: that the players on your team for him to be good,

347
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: you got to fix them or at least change him.

348
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: And it's going to be very, very interesting because you know,

349
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: Alex Van Pelt was just running out of Cleveland. Now

350
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: was that because Deshaun Watson wanted them out? I don't know.

351
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: He's a former quarterback, you know, Gerrodmeo. I'm sorry, as

352
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: of right now, I don't consider he knows anything about offense.

353
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: How could he? He's been coaching for five years and

354
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: he was a linebacker. Uh. And let's face it, most

355
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: defensive guys can be hard headed when it comes to

356
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: the offense. But I don't think Trod Mayo could just

357
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: stand next to him and coach him up. So it's

358
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: it's going to be a challenge getting rid of the

359
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: ball and accuracy like that's was a downfall of Sam Donald.

360
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: He's got a loopier release and he has a big arm,

361
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: and he's accuracy can be a problem just from the

362
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: size standpoint, movement standpoint, and arm strength standpoint. Sam Donald

363
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: has it all, but that that loopy release gives that

364
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: extra step to the dB, and the accuracy is a

365
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: little off. It's something that you got to try to fix.

366
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: And I watched Donald last year. He never really fixed it. Now.

367
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he hasn't improved with his decision decision making,

368
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: but uh, it's interesting to see. I like projects. I'm

369
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: pro taking big swins. But now now you've got to

370
00:19:53,040 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: figure it out. Now, now it's on the coaches. You

371
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: know what's funny about certain players is not everyone is

372
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: on the same trajectory, right. Some guys pop immediately, some

373
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: guys struggle and then get the right coach and then

374
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: have success. Some guys basically live in obscurity for years

375
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: and resurrect their career later. Not everyone is on the

376
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: same path. No different than life, right. We all know

377
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: people that have immediate success in whatever industry that they

378
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: jump in. Some guys that screw around in their twenties,

379
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, in the thirties they start having

380
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: financial success. None of us are alike. Whether you're an athlete,

381
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: whether you're a salesman, I don't care what you do.

382
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: We all have different paths that we take. And I

383
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: think Jared Goff is a good example because when he

384
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: was drafted number one one, he played on a Cal

385
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: team that was terrible, I mean was god awful. His

386
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: first year they went one and eleven. He was supposed

387
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: to go play for Jeff Tedford. Sonny Dykes came in

388
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and it was just a bad fit. Sonny's a good

389
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: guy and proven to be a good coach, but he

390
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: did not fit in Berkeley his style, and it was

391
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: a disaster. And then Jared Goff's rookie year was as

392
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: bad as it gets. You could argue it was worse

393
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: than Bryce Young's. From an itest standpoint, it was like,

394
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: this guy might not be an NFL player. Then Sean

395
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: McVay comes in and changes the game and he proves

396
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: immediately he's not only a really good quarterback, but like,

397
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: if your team's good, you can win with him in

398
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You can win with Jared Goff in the playoffs.

399
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Something we do not know about guys like Tua. Something

400
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: we don't know about guys like Dak Prescott has not

401
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: proven that. Kirk Cousins definitely has not proven that this

402
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: is a guy when the lights are the brightest you

403
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: can win with Again, He's not gonna carry your team

404
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: in the sense of like a Josh Allen, Peyton Manning,

405
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes. But no one with a brain

406
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: compareson to those guys. But of the non top five

407
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: or six guys, if he's on the right team, he

408
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: can arguably be the best of the next group. And

409
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: he's kind of proven that now twice on two different

410
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: teams with the Rams and the Lions. So I said

411
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: for a while that I would love to get him

412
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: on the thirty thirty five million dollars a year deal.

413
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: But it's kind of stupid to talk like that. Why,

414
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: because no one gets those type contracts anymore. You're either

415
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: a highly paid guy or you're nothing. And it's kind

416
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: of bared out right. Kirk Cousins tors Achilles and't got

417
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars a year. Well, Jared Goff goes,

418
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm better than him. Check my numbers, check my stats,

419
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: check my resume in January. It's not really a conversation.

420
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: So he got one hundred and seventy million dollars guaranteed. Now,

421
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: the good thing is when you sign a guy like

422
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, there's no guessing he's proven to you what

423
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: he is. He's been doing this now at a pretty

424
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: high level. Now, he dipped that last year with the Rams,

425
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: but for the most part, he has been a pretty

426
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: consistent quarterback for a long period of time. But he

427
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: is not some guy if he was a stock that

428
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: could ten X. Let's face it, when the Eagles extended

429
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, there was still a lot of unknown He

430
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: had played at a high level for one season and

431
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: help going back to when he was drafted, there were

432
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks with Jalen Hurts, and last

433
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: year you saw a little bit of an up and

434
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: down right, the coordinator position was off. It was weird.

435
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: He wasn't bad, but he was nowhere near the guy before.

436
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: And you just go, well, is the Jalen Hurts we

437
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: saw in twenty twenty two is that the guy? Or

438
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: is this more of the up and down version that

439
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: we saw in twenty three. I still don't know. I'm

440
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: not out on him, but I wouldn't at my four

441
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: oh one k that he's just going to be a

442
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: superstar for the next five years, where Jared Goff like,

443
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: we know he's not a superstar, but we know exactly

444
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: what he is. Think about the Ford family. You know

445
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: what the number one selling truck in America has been

446
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: for forty seven years, the F one P fifty. My

447
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: dad drove one my entire life. Basically everyone he worked

448
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: with he was infarming, drove one. My brother has now

449
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: driven one for as long as he's worked in the industry.

450
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: Most people do in that business. And he's not a Ferrari,

451
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: he's not a Porsche of Mercedes. But he's a pretty

452
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: consistent player. And he's a guy that you know you

453
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: can win with. And what's the other thing that we

454
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: always talk about with quarterbacks, the intangibles. Team loves him.

455
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: He's a good leader. Here's another thing that I don't

456
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: think we give him enough credit for. And this goes

457
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: back to college. He's pretty mentally tough. He's been through

458
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: some shit college. This team sucked. Was not good the Pros,

459
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: his rookie year awful. By the end of his time

460
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: with the Rams, his coach was openly publicly talking about

461
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: how he wasn't good enough. We can't play with this guy.

462
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: If memory serves me correct, he got benched going into

463
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: a playoff game. And if it wasn't for I forget

464
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: the court, it was a Heineke. Whoever the quarterback was,

465
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: Wafford broke his thumb or got hurt. Maybe Jared had

466
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: an injured thumb and had to come in. Could be

467
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: off of my timeline. It's been a while, but Sean

468
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: McVeigh crushed him in his sense, apologized like I was

469
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: wrong for the way I handled it. And then he

470
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: got to Detroit. Dan Campbell's first year and it was

471
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: really ugly, and by the end of his second year

472
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: he's out playing Aaron Rodgers on the road in Green

473
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: Bay in the COLT and last year he was fucking fantastic.

474
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: Obviously had a couple of bad games, but on the

475
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: aggregate was a high end player. Was easily one of

476
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: the best players in the NFC at that position. Now

477
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: the bar is not as high in the NFC as

478
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: the AFC. Right, there's no Mahomes, there's no Lamar, there's

479
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: no Burrow, there's no Josh Allen, no Herbert. Like the

480
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the NFC currently are like Perty Dak Cousins, Goff,

481
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts, Like that's the group, and you

482
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: know that your guy can compete with those guys because

483
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: we've seen it, so is this a little rich? Sure?

484
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: New the Lions feel pretty good about it. I think

485
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: they do. And I also think we have to give

486
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: the front office credit for there were two trades on

487
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: the table, the forty nine Ers and the Rams. They

488
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: knew both teams were going to be pretty good, and

489
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: they were offering multiple ones. One team had Jimmy Garoppolo

490
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: and the other team had Jared Goff and Brad Holmes

491
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: coming from the Rams, I think easily accepted the Jared

492
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: Goff trade. Now, do I believe that they thought that

493
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: it would turn out this way, that within three years

494
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: they would be this good and have no hesitation of

495
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: giving Jared Goff over fifty million dollars a year. I don't.

496
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: But they did bet on the right quarterback because Jared

497
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: Goff compared to Jimmy Garoppolo it ain't even close. So

498
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: the Lions deserve a lot of credit because pivoting off

499
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: a talent like Matt Stafford who immediately wins the Super

500
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: Bowl is not easy. You usually lose. But you could

501
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: argue that the Lions won and the Rams won two.

502
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: It's truly one of the great win win trades of big,

503
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: big trades in recent memories, the Lions used that draft

504
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: capital to improve their team. The Rams won a Super

505
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: Bowl with Stafford a couple years later. They're right back

506
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and the hell they played each other,

507
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: which was one of the better games this year in January.

508
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: So a lot of credit to the Lions. This is

509
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: never going to be the sexiest move. He's not the

510
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: sexiest player, but he's just good. And because their team

511
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: is this good currently for the next couple of years,

512
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: you can win at a high level with Jared Goff. Now,

513
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: over time with the cap, it could become a little

514
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: more complicated, but that's not how NFL teams think that

515
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: they live in the now, and they were just right there.

516
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: And let's face it, they should have won the NFC

517
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: Championship game. They had a twenty four to three league

518
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: the end of the first half. Can't lose that game.

519
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: But a big reason they were in that position was

520
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: golf in the offense, and it feels like all these

521
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: players on that offensive unit, you keep your offensive coordinator.

522
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: Lion's got a really good thing going. They sold out

523
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: their season tickets for the second year in a row.

524
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: And one thing I learned when I was in radio,

525
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: like growing up a kid in northern California, I just

526
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: like the Giants and the forty nine Ers because the

527
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: majority of people did. The forty nine Ers had been

528
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: winning Super Bowls when I was really young and up

529
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: through being a kid and a teenager, the San Fransco

530
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: Giants signed Barry Bonds. They built this stadium and became

531
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: a massive, massive brand, and they gained a lot of

532
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: bandwagon fans over that time. And when I say bandwagon fans,

533
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean people that just casually follow why because people

534
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: casually follow winners. And when I was on local radio,

535
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: we had the A's and the Raiders. And from a

536
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: rating standpoint, if you put on an A's game, and

537
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: these A's teams were good, this is not like this

538
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: last four or five years of that franchise. This is

539
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: like in one of the peak Billy Bean cruse competing

540
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: to win ninety ninety five games and heading into the

541
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: playoffs as a team to be reckoned with, and they

542
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: would four to five x the listenership on the Giant

543
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: station then the A's and they were both just really

544
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: good teams. Why because one team had dramatically more fans

545
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: and whenever anyone uses well, they just got a lot

546
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: of bait wagon fans. I'd always say, welcome to the business.

547
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: That's the point of this whole thing. I always noticed

548
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: this when I did Raiders in Niner games or go

549
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: to them, you know in the early twenty tens, is

550
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: if they play the Packers or the Steelers, how many

551
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: of their fans would show up. Think about the Steelers,

552
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: They've been winning consistently, just had winning teams. We're when

553
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: the season starts, you just say, we're gonna be competitive,

554
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a chance to not only make

555
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but to win in the playoffs. Since the

556
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: early nineteen seventies. If I was born a Packer fan,

557
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: my entire life would have been watching winning teams from

558
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: the early nineties with FARV up until last year. And

559
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: what looks like moving forward. The more you win, the

560
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: more people care. That's why the biggest brands not in

561
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: football are what the Yankees, the Lakers, the Warriors are

562
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: a good example. I would say for the first twenty

563
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty five years of my life, they were mainly a

564
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: dogshit brand. They didn't rate, people didn't watch them on television.

565
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking locally, they didn't sniff national games, they did

566
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: not matter well. The last ten years, you could argue

567
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: they have been the biggest brand in the NBA. Why

568
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: do you think that is? This is not a complicated formula.

569
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are somewhat of an outlier. They have not

570
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: been to a conference championship in twenty five years, and they,

571
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: we all agree, have the largest fan base in the NFL.

572
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: When you put them on TV and they are good,

573
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: the most people watch. It's not a coincidence that Tom

574
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Brady's first game, official game as a broadcaster will be

575
00:31:55,040 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: a Cowboy game. Fox did that on purpose because they

576
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: know he will get the biggest audience with that team.

577
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: There are other teams that move the needle. The forty

578
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: nine Ers are a massive brand, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the

579
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers massive brand, the Chiefs massive brand. There

580
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: is nothing like the Cowboys. Why is that Well, because

581
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies they dominated, and then in the

582
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: nineties a separate generation got to watch them win three

583
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: championships in basically four and a half years. So when

584
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: I see the Detroit Lions selling out again, a lot

585
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: of people were not watching every snap when they were

586
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: struggling to win a couple games over the last twenty years,

587
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: and their teams were basically consistently bad. I'm not saying

588
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: people don't watch that, and I'm not saying that people

589
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: that do watch that are dumb. I've watched a lot

590
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: of bad teams as well over the years. We're actually

591
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: the minority. We used to call them p ones in

592
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: the radio business. It's kind of like the podcast business.

593
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: The more casual people I can resonate with, the more

594
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: successful I'll be doing this. It's why I don't get

595
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: that granular with football in terms of breaking down play

596
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: by play or teams that don't matter, because people will

597
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: turn off the podcast. This isn't a very complicated strategy.

598
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: So the Detroit Lions, they have two things going for him.

599
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: One there's a legit optimism and hope moving forward, and

600
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: two there's like substance behind it. They're just good. So

601
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: when you ever hear that term you want more bandwagon

602
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: fans rooting for whatever team you root for. Why that

603
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: means your team is doing something right. That means you

604
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: are good, That means you matter. Can you imagine how

605
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: many quote unquote bandwagon fans? Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes

606
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: have brought the Kancie Chiefs. How many kids that never

607
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: in a million years would have had a Chief jersey

608
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: now have a Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelcey jersey all

609
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: over America. One of the downfalls I've thought of the

610
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: NBA was when I was a kid, I had an

611
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic pair of shorts. I had multiple Chicago Bulls paraphernalia.

612
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: Why Shaq and Michael Jordan. Baseball was huge nationally in

613
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: the early nineties. I knew all these players on all

614
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: these different teams. I could name lineups from the Baltimore Orioles,

615
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners. Can't do that anymore, but

616
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: we do that with the NFL, especially with the good teams.

617
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: So props the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes

618
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: for turning that thing around and just creating a bandwagon,

619
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: because that means good things are happening. I thought a

620
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: lot about this because at this point in time, only

621
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: one team in the NFL is true. Like, if you

622
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: don't win the Super Bowl, it's a really big letdown,

623
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 1: and that's the Chiefs, right. They've won three or five,

624
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: They've been to four. They have Mahomes, they have the

625
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: best coach in the league. It's just the season starts

626
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: their fan base like we're gonna win the Super Bowl,

627
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: and if you don't, it's a pretty big letdown. No

628
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: other team can say that. I think the Eagles they've

629
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: been to one, but they change their coaching staff around.

630
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: The Cowboys haven't even been to a conference championship game

631
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: in twenty five years. The Lions made their first conference

632
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: championship game in who knows how long, I think ninety

633
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: two if memory serves me correct. The Ravens, for as

634
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: great as they are, like, let's face it, Lamar's gonna

635
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: have to do a little more in the playoffs. I

636
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: think it's the forty nine ers, like partly because their

637
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: core of guys, highly paid, their cap hits are gonna

638
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: start kicking in this the last year of Perty's rookie deal.

639
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: It's kind of all there. It's gotta be now or never.

640
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 1: They I had a receiver they didn't trade deebo or Ayuk.

641
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: Trent Williams is thirty five. Kyle Shanahan. All the talk, ever,

642
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: is can he win the big one? Well, I've seen

643
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: him win a lot of big games. He's won like

644
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: eight playoff games in his forty nine er career. He

645
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: just lost two Super Bowls and they've been devastating, but

646
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: he's lost him to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Who knows.

647
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: Maybe they face off again for the third time in

648
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: like six years. That'd be cool. Some people might say

649
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be cool because we're ready for some new blood.

650
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: But I looked at the Niners schedule and one the

651
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: Jets Niners is a fantastic Week one Monday night football game,

652
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: Like that's e lait. It doesn't, and I don't even know.

653
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: I think the Jets, if Aaron's healthy eight nine wins.

654
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: If things get weird, they could be shitty again. But

655
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: maybe best case scenario ten. But Week one, you give

656
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: me Aaron Rodgers. We saw it last year. I was

657
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: glued to the TV just like we all were for

658
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers versus the Bills. I'm in that's a no brainer.

659
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: I would have gone Jets or Niners Cowboys if they won.

660
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: With the Jets no issue. I think early on in

661
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: the Niner schedule they can start fast and to me,

662
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be pressure on this team because the

663
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: brock Party thing. And here I've been saying this forever

664
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: about Brock Party. The conversation is not gonna change. It

665
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: wouldn't have changed if he would have won that Super

666
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: Bowl because all the haters would be like, well, see

667
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: he can do it again. Can he continue to do it?

668
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: My stance is pretty clear he's good. But like, I

669
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: think he's really good. But we just saw Jared goffet

670
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy million dollars averaging over fifty million

671
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: dollars a year, Like that's kind of the range. So

672
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: like he's got to be really good to feel good

673
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: about giving that contract. The forty nine ers open with

674
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: the Jets, then they go to Minnesota, then they get

675
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: the Rams, who Kyle Shanahan has owned, and then they

676
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: get the Pats in Arizona. So like, I think this

677
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: team could start really fast. And when I look at

678
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, to me, it's between them the Lions.

679
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: But I think that the NFC North is gonna be

680
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: pretty tough. I know, I've heard a lot of people

681
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: talk about like the NFC West terms like Seattle could

682
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: be a lot better. I don't know if I'm really

683
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: buying it. I think they got a lot of good players.

684
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: First time head coach. They have an offensive coordinator that's

685
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: never worked in the pros. Loved him at Washington as

686
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. He's entering a new realm. Their quarterback

687
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: is Geno Smith, who great story, easy guy to root for.

688
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry before I just put you in the

689
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: playoffs with a brand new coach and Gino smithter quarterback,

690
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: I can't do it. There are some people high on

691
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: Sam hal but the forty nine ers then get them

692
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football. They do have a tough stretch,

693
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Cowboys. They get a buy at Tampa,

694
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: who I think is gonna be pretty good. I think

695
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine is gonna be prett damn good, just

696
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: like I think a lot of the teams that are

697
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: really good last year are gonna be good. I think

698
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: Detroit's gonna be good. I think the Packers are gonna

699
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: be good. I think the Eagles are gonna be consistently

700
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: better than they Cowboys to me or the wild Card,

701
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: I talked about it with Colin to me, one fascinating

702
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: like there aren't question marks with the Niners in terms

703
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: of like this guy has to prove this to do that.

704
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: Like Kyle Shanahan's already paid Brock Perdy in his mind,

705
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: he fucking loves the guy. I've been saying forever with

706
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is one right now. If you gave him

707
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: a three year, one hundred million dollar contract extension, I

708
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: don't think he would sign it. He'd be like, how's

709
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: he turning down that type money? Well, he just saw

710
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: Jared Goff get one hundred and seventy million dollars and

711
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: he goes, well, if I have a full season and

712
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: I played like I did at the end of last

713
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: year at minimum, I'm getting something in that world. So

714
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: why would I sign a quote unquote team friendly deal

715
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: because I think the Packers would love to do that. Well,

716
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: looking at the Packers schedule and one, I give them

717
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: the NFL credit because those of us on the West Coast,

718
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: when you do this for a living and listen, I'm

719
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: not acting like this is difficult. My dad was a farmer.

720
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: I've worked out that that's hard work. I worked construction

721
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: in high school and in college. That's hard work. This

722
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: is not hard, but it is time consuming. During the

723
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: NFL season, I got to watch a lot of football,

724
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: which you know, not the worst thing in the world.

725
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm cool, which with watching football all day Saturday and

726
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: all day Sunday. But these international games starting at six

727
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: thirty am Pacific Standard time, Like, I'm not that interested.

728
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: Props to the NFL for mainly putting shitty games that

729
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: I just don't have to watch because they're not that

730
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: relevant and I can wake up at halftime. But this

731
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: international game is elite. But it's also primetime Friday night.

732
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: Philly Packers in Brazil. That's gonna be cool. It is

733
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: a tough early stretch. I mean, you go Philly Colts, Like,

734
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are gonna be good. So that's

735
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: two tough games. Because I've always said I have no

736
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: problem breaking off Jordan Love. I would just need to

737
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: see more. I would give them a contract extension in

738
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. And the Packers are good,

739
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: it means they're competing with the Philly, the Colts, the Rams,

740
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: the Texans. I mean, these are all teams they play

741
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: in the first half of the season. So what he

742
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: proved last year was incredible. The way he played at

743
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: the end of last season honestly looked like versions of

744
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers that was like, like, what the hell is this?

745
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: But I say it all the time. Part of being

746
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: a good player. This is why I defend perty. He

747
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: had the end half of his rookie season when everyone

748
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: got hurt, and then he came back this year and

749
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: answered the belt. Obviously it's a short resume, but if

750
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: he does it again, like he's got a large body

751
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: of work, he's just a good player. That's why when

752
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: the Lions sign and Jared Goth played well for them

753
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: for two seasons, he has three years with the Rams, like,

754
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: he has a five year body of work. That's like

755
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: high level Pro Bowl like you see it. It's not

756
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: a one year wonder. And I think if all of

757
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: a sudden, Jordan Love take take a step back early

758
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: in the season, everyone gets just back. Okay, let's just

759
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: take a deep breath. We got the franchise tag in

760
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: our back pocket. But if all of a sudden, you're

761
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: six and three and you've beaten the Colts, Rams and

762
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: Texans and he's outplayed some of their young quarterbacks. Yeah,

763
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: let's give this guy one hundred and sixty hundred and

764
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: seventy hundred and eighty million dollars. This guy's are quarterback

765
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: for the future. We don't even hesitate, but I would

766
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: use that early body of work as just a deep breath.

767
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: That's why I would not sign the contract. They're still unknown.

768
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: Like with Tua, I've seen enough. I'm sorry. I'm not

769
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: extending even if I was the Cowboys, like we got

770
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: to win in the playoffs, if I'm gonna give another

771
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 1: huge extension. With Jordan Loved, I mean, there's a chance

772
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: in a couple of years he's one of the better

773
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. But also we've seen a lot

774
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: of guys have an eight year or an eight game

775
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: stretch and then take a step back. And this early

776
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: part of the schedule, I think we're gonna learn a lot.

777
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: He has the entire offseason with all these young players,

778
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: he's entrenched as a starter. The other thing is, and

779
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing about CJ. Shroud, sometimes

780
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: you get to sneak up on people because you're a

781
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: young player, you're unproven. When you're an established star, like

782
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: when Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes plays

783
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: a football game, you have got that defensive coordinator and

784
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: those defensive players attention every minute of every day during

785
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: the week. They have given elite focus. That's why I

786
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: always give you, like a shitty win during or a

787
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: shitty loss during the season, it's like, God, how did

788
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: you lose to the Giants or how did you blow

789
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: it to the Panthers or the Cardinals. Well, we didn't

790
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: focus as much during the week, you know why, we're

791
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: human beings. And Belichick used to get up there when

792
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: they'd be playing a winless team in November and he'd

793
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: go on some diat tribe about how great their special

794
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: teams is, how awesome their pass rushes. These players see

795
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: the film, they know they suck. But when you play

796
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: the best of the best, you better dial in one.

797
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: Football is hard enough to begin with, and when you're

798
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: playing elite players like you better be on your p's

799
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: and q's. You better take practice seriously, film studies seriously,

800
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: or rehab seriously, or lifting seriously. You're eating your sleep

801
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: like you're extra focus. Well, I'm not saying CJ. Stroud

802
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: didn't get any attention last year, but he's gonna get

803
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: way more this year. That When it's ten o'clock at

804
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: night and the defensive coordinators like, yeah, should I go

805
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: home to my wife? No, maybe I will do an

806
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: extra hour film study. Were that defensive ends or linebacker

807
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: or safety, and you just get an extra level of

808
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: preparation from the opponent. Jordan Love is gonna get that

809
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: this year, Like no one is going to go into

810
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: a defensive game plan when you're playing the Packers starting

811
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: with Vic Fangio going to Gus Bradley and not spend

812
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: extra time getting ready for this player and viewing him

813
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: early on as this guy might be one of the

814
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: best young players in the league and that's an incredible

815
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Packers to evaluate them. It's why Kyle

816
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Shanahan's high on brock Purty because they were so good

817
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: his rookie year. When he came back his second year,

818
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: teams were throwing the kitchen sink at He was like, God,

819
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: look at the way he handled it. Now, part of

820
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 1: being a great player is doing it for like ten

821
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: straight years. Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Right, we

822
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: know the list, what Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are

823
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 1: doing right now. Lamar Jackson every single year like, yeah,

824
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm headed to the Pro Bowl this year, Like it's

825
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: August fifth, Yeah, I'll be there. And I think Jordan

826
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: Love is a Pro Bowl talent and I'm fascinated to

827
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: watch it materialize, right because if it comes to fruition,

828
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: the Packers could be an awesome team. They could compete

829
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions and the San Francsco forty nine

830
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: Ers in the NFC. If he's just kind of as

831
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: the kids would say, mid or just doesn't takes a

832
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: step back, honestly, if he just plays like he did

833
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the next season, they're gonna be good.

834
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna be They're gonna be excellent, assuming

835
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: that their defensive coordinator is good. And that's the other

836
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: thing with these schedules. The hard part about schedules is,

837
00:45:54,560 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: like one, injuries at quarterback change things dramatically, and also

838
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: sometimes teams that we think were gonna be good. I

839
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: know last year, one team I thought was gonna suck

840
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: and one team I thought that was gonna be good

841
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: were the Giants and the Bucks. Do you know what

842
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: it turned out? The Giants sucked and the Bucks were good,

843
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: and they won a playoff game and they went toe

844
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: to toe with the Lions on the road in the

845
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: second round. So things changed dramatically. It's why it's hard

846
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: to go win lost, win win, win lost, because if

847
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback is missing and you're playing a backup, that

848
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: is a massive pendulum swing. And two, even if guys

849
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: are healthy, maybe a team is just not as good.

850
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,479
Speaker 1: Maybe something is off, something with the cohesion. Players aren't

851
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: playing as well. A guy got old fast, there was

852
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: a coordinator change, and it's not sticking. So you just

853
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: never know. You have a pretty good idea, like the

854
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna be good, the Ravens are gonna be good, right,

855
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of like Cleveland last year

856
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: win eleven games. I don't think they're gonna win eleven

857
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: games anymore, right, So they're gonna be teams that were

858
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: bad last year who take big steps, and they're gonna

859
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 1: be teams that are bad last year like Carolina most

860
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: people think are gonna be bad again. Also, when do

861
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: you get a team when they're struggling, like the PA

862
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: You get a team week one. I don't care if

863
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,959
Speaker 1: you're playing the Jets, I don't care if you're playing

864
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles, or I don't care if you're gonna play

865
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: in the Panthers. It's usually hard because you're getting every

866
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: team's best effort. They have as much hope as you do,

867
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: and spirits are high, especially on the road. So even

868
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: if I don't think Cleveland is that good, the Cowboys

869
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: getting them week one on the road, Dog Pound Place,

870
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: going nuts, Tom Brady, that's a difficult game, right, So

871
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: Philly last year is a good example. If you got

872
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: them early, it was tough. If you got them late,

873
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: it was a lot easier. So it's fun to me

874
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: to look at the travel like east to west or

875
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: west to east or short weeks. That stuff matters, but

876
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to go we're playing that quarterback, and I

877
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: do that with the Bengals. I mean Joe Burrow's hand,

878
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: that's it. Situation is in question until he proves it not.

879
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: And it's like the Chiefs. I could break down the

880
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: chief schedule like win, win, loss, This is a tough game.

881
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: Here's what I know. At the end of the day,

882
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be eleven or thirteen wins and more than

883
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: likely they're gonna win the division and have the one

884
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: or two seed. And this year, unlike last year, there's

885
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: not a soul. If Patrick Mahomes is under center or

886
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: in the shotgun. Anyone's gonna bet against him, period, point blank,

887
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: end of story. I mean, that's the point this franchise

888
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: is at. Their schedule honestly, kind of irrelevant. It might

889
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: be the difference of fourteen wins or eleven wins or

890
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: twelve wins. But here's what I know. If Mahomes play

891
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: seventeen games, playoffs, division champs. It's really that simple. And

892
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: that's what the Patriots had become, right if, like, yeah,

893
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: this might be a thirteen win season, this could be

894
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: an eleven win season, playoffs, and good fucking luck trying

895
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: to play them. God speed, you better be ready. And like,

896
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 1: obviously the division should be a little better assuming Harbaugh

897
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are much just better than what we

898
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: saw out of Brandon Saley and as Sean Payton starts

899
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: to kind of feel it out that they should be

900
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: more competitive start to finish, but like you would have

901
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,959
Speaker 1: to be stoned out of your mind on who knows

902
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: what to like to me, of all the divisions, if

903
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: you just went around, they are by far the easiest

904
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: to pick. Chiefs Baltimore. I don't even need to look

905
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: at it. Their schedule is irrelevant. Honestly, they've played tough games.

906
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: They've had a first play schedule. I don't know, for

907
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: seven straight years. They're gonna be good, like the Niners,

908
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: for example, Like I would not feel I think they're

909
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna win the division, but it wouldn't stun me if

910
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: the Rams won it. I know they're both gonna be solid.

911
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are by far the easiest team

912
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: to because even a Lions beck lyons, well what if

913
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is even better and all of a sudden

914
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: that's the difference of a game, and the Packers win

915
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: that division. One teams wins twelve and the other wins eleven.

916
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: It's very hard to pick the AFC North. We you

917
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: know the Ravens, Let's face it lost a lot. We

918
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: don't know burrows health status, the Browns and Deshaun Watson

919
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 1: is even good. Uh. I think most people are gonna

920
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: pick the Houston Texans, and I don't blame you for

921
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: doing that, but let's not forget they were a drop

922
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: pass away against Gardner Minshew from not winning that division.

923
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: So I think the Colts are gonna be pretty good.

924
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 1: To me, that's a coin flip. And the other division

925
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 1: that just makes me laugh as everyone Oh, the Falcons.

926
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: They're the betting favorite. And most people I hear that

927
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: talk about football is like, ah, the Falcons. The Kirk

928
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: Cousins is just some division winner consistently coming off in Achilles.

929
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris has won what exactly Like, let's just pump

930
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: the breaks. I look at Tampa's roster. It looks a

931
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: lot better to me. I told myself I would never

932
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: bet on the Saints and Dennis Allen to win a

933
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: division again. But they did go nine to eight last year,

934
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: and now they added Koopiak from the Niner staff to

935
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: run that offense. And the reason that they went nine

936
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: and eight and lost so many ugly games is because

937
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: Derek Carr and the offense wasn't good for a lot

938
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: of the season. Well what if that's vastly improved. Schedule's

939
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: fun and a lot of people like everyone makes such

940
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: a big deal once the NFL the games matter. There's

941
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: a reason it's a big deal, because every week matters,

942
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: and the primetime games matter. It's why Netflix is getting involved.

943
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: And I mentioned this to Colin. I can't reiterate this enough. Listen,

944
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: I understand if you're pissed off, because you gotta pay

945
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: for Peacock. It was much easier fifteen to twenty years ago,

946
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: but it's twenty twenty four. In the world we live in,

947
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: Amazon on a Netflix are bigger than all these broadcast channels.

948
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: So when you're bigger, what does that mean you have

949
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: more money? So when Netflix dip their toe in, starting

950
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: with the Tom Brady Roast, I looked the other day

951
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: because we were surfing for something to watch, it was

952
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: still the number one trending show. The NFL is going

953
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: to crush on Netflix. And if you want to complain

954
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: about Peacock, I understand if you are a cable bundle

955
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: guy and don't have YouTube TV and you want the package.

956
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: I get being a little, you know, pissed off. I

957
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: don't want to hear anyone complaining about Netflix. My seventy

958
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: five year old mother watches Netflix every single day on

959
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: my account, which I think Netflix is cracking down on.

960
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: But everyone I know has Netflix, and this isn't going

961
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: to be a success. I would be stunned if the

962
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: next time the broadcast rights come around that Netflix don't

963
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: have a Sunday package because they signed a three year deal.

964
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: They're paying seventy five million dollars a game. And you

965
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: know who knows this, Roger and the owners, because it

966
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: was very, very telling. They gave them two really good games.

967
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: That wasn't by accident. You know who. They're not giving

968
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 1: great games to the UK in Germany games we don't

969
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: really need to watch. And I understand it's Christmas. But

970
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: they gave them really good games Chiefs and the Steelers

971
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: and the Ravens and the Texans. That's not by accident.

972
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: And they know Netflix's power, and they also know where

973
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: this is headed. I didn't choose this, We didn't choose this,

974
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: but this is where we're at. This is the way

975
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: the world has happened, with the streaming, with the way

976
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: everything's operated. I host a show on a daily basis.

977
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: If this was fifteen years ago, I would have to

978
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: be on a radio show to do this. Now, how

979
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: can a radio show compete against me? Because if you're like, well,

980
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm on tomorrow, so at ten am, listen up, I've

981
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: already recorded reacting to the same things you're going to

982
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: react to in real time and it's been out for

983
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: ten hours. Why because of podcasting and streaming on YouTube.

984
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: So the power of this stuff is irrefutable. It's not debatable.

985
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 1: Can it be a pain in our ass sometimes? Of course,

986
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: transitional times usually are, but we're not going backwards. This

987
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: is only This is the way of the future, and

988
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: this is where the money is for the league to

989
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: stay healthy and to keep rolling. So I just I

990
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: know people are gonna complain, and there are some valid complaints,

991
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: but I've said this about NBC forever. I just talked

992
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: to Colin about this. I don't think NBC is really

993
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: going to be around as it has most of my

994
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: life in ten fifteen years. Peacock is their only way

995
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: to survive and they're just about to give and even

996
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: Colin says the deal there gonna sign with the NBA

997
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: is moronic. But I think a huge reason they're gonna

998
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: quote unquote overpay and lose their ass on it because

999
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: they need inventory for Peacock, because that's their only kind

1000
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: of road to survival, because their costs so high. They

1001
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: have to get people on these streaming platforms because that's

1002
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: where everyone is. That is where the consumer is, especially

1003
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: the younger consumer. Well, in ten fifteen years, a guy

1004
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: like me is no longer thirty eight, thirty nine years old.

1005
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm fifty five, so I'm the current Well what about

1006
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: the fifty five year old Now, Well, in fifteen years,

1007
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: I guy seventy, and I'm more important in fifteen years

1008
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: as the consumer than that guy. And I've been inundated

1009
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: and used to this now for a long period of time,

1010
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,439
Speaker 1: and I represent people my age. So change is tough.

1011
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 1: But the NFL's seen these other leagues and they don't

1012
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: want to do that. Baseball's done it for years. It's

1013
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: like sign these local deals. It's like, well, how's that

1014
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: working out for you? The volume
