1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Thursday,

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: August nineteen. Your boys a little beat up this morning?

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Rough game of basketball. You know, we got the Wednesday

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: afternoon game, had a bunch of new guys, new energy,

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't new fouls. The physical contest. Uh. Some guys

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: who played and listen to this podcast referred to it

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: multiple times as chippy, but you know my style. I

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: don't like to go in the lane much and get clobbered,

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: especially outdoors. That being said, we got a great day

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: for sports content. I didn't know where to start. You know,

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: Um Rob G, who is uh you know, having his

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: birthday week celebration. I think he's turning like twenty three

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: this week. Shout out to Rob G. We you know,

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about Jamal Adams on yesterday's pot. I

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: said I'd save it because I wanted to dig into

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: the numbers a little bit more. We'll get to Jamal Adams.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: He's a former jet too, so you know, I gotta

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: take some shots at him on the way out. But

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: I feel like there's two stories kind of dominating right now.

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: The sports Landscape and number one. Usually we don't open

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: with baseball, but this show, Hey Otani story is kind

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: of sort of fascinating. And if you're not up to

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: speed and you don't like baseball, trust me, you're still

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna like this. So Otani hit his fourtieth home run

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: last night, of course, and he pitched. I mean, the

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: guy's incredible. He's the best story in baseball outside of

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: the Field of Dreams game, which was a massive, massive

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Grand Slam home run for Fox so Otani. Somebody posted this.

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: I did not even realize it. He only makes three

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: million dollars this year. He's the two nine highest paid

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: player in Major League Baseball. That to me is kind

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: of sort of staggering, given out amazing. He is um

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, he's gonna make a ton

35
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: of money off the field, So I'm not no crocodile

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: tears for the three million dollar man show Hey Otani.

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: But where this gets interested is a former picture by

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the name of Jack Morris. You may know him. Detroit

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Tiger's legend Hall of Famer. So he's broadcasting game this week,

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: and you know it's a dicey situation. Tigers are trying

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: to get out of a jam, and Otani steps up

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: to the plate, and you know, they go, Jack, what

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: any thoughts on how you would handle Otani here? And

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, in a pretty idiotic move for a guy

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: who's in the Hall of Fame who's pitched Utan and

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, as an announcer, uh, listen, I know he's old,

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: but still this doesn't really give sixty six year old. Yeah.

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean again, like, you know, your grandpa makes some

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: dumb comments at the Thanksgiving table and you kind of cringe,

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: this is a six bus. Actually sixty six is probably

51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: young for a grandpa. But fine, your dad makes some

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: kind of weird comments at the Thanksgiving table, you maybe cringe.

53
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: You let it go because it's your dad. Um, not

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: saying my dad would do that. My dad does listen

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: to this, um, but dad's and grandpas have a tendency

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: to say kind of cringe e stuff that they come

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: from a different era. And Jack Morris, the Hall of

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: Famer says as an announcer that I would handle Otani

59
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Betty Betty seriously, and the other announcers like silent, like, bro,

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: what on earth are you doing? What what? And of

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: course you know they proceed and then they go to

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: commercial that ending's over, and then Jack Morris comes back

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: and has his lengthy apology. Hey man, I didn't mean anything,

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: And of course the Internet loses his mind because hey,

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, old white guys saying something really dumb and insensitive.

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Um in a one year where listen, man, you step

67
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: out of pocket and say something that even ten years ago,

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: ten years ago, probably nobody really cares or says anything.

69
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Years ago, people laugh, Um, forty years ago, you know

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: you have other people chiming in. But that's just not cool.

71
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: You can't do that now. It's insensitive, especially when you

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: talk about Otani, who is you could argue, uh, the

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: most important player major League Baseball this year, that's how

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: good the guy is now. Of course, the Anaheim Angels

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: are not really in the playoff mix. That's another story. Um.

76
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: But of course Otani, um, you know, plays in the

77
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: game last night. It was amazing. But Jack Morris is

78
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: instantly suspended indefinitely for his mock Japanese accent comment, and

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Otani after the game is asked about it, and this

80
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: dude is just listen, I got gushy about Tim Tebow

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: yesterday and on the Dan Patrick show with the Gottlieb

82
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: this week. And yes, I saw your tweets. You did

83
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: not like my comments about Tebow um Otani, I mean,

84
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: this is the epitome of class. This is how you

85
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: handle that stuff. You kill him with the kindness. Shohyotani

86
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: on Jack Morris. I did see the footage and I

87
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: heard it on the video. Personally, I'm not offended and

88
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: I didn't take anything personally. He is a Hall of Famer,

89
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: he has a big influence in the baseball world. So

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of a tough spot. That's incredibly well said.

91
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: That is incredible leadership from Shohyotani. I'm not I didn't

92
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: take anything personally, I'm not offended. Listen. I'm not going

93
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: to get into this is social media reel. And who

94
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: was really offended by this? Um? You can guess from

95
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: my tone who was really offended? UM, Shoeyo Tani who

96
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: he was mocking. He's not offended. UM. Listen. As a

97
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: guy with UM, you know, you guys know, my background

98
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: is mixed. I've talked about it. I got the twenty

99
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: three of me. I'm very mixed with a lot of stuff,

100
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and I would I would watch the Simpson's growing up

101
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: and obviously we have a lot of Indian and our family, um,

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: and the guy who worked at seven eleven, they would

103
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: make fun of his exent all the time on the Simps.

104
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: It's one of the longest running shows in television. And like,

105
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: am I gonna get outraged at that? Like, no, that's

106
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: just that's just me. Now, everybody's different. Some people are sensitive, um.

107
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Other people just think, hey, there's no place for that.

108
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: That's just not right. I personally, you know, the Jack

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Moore's comment and not the smartest thing in the world,

110
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: not funny, um, but I thought I liked how Otani

111
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: handled it. I am curious, um, what the reaction is

112
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: to Otani's reaction or do we just because he diffused

113
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: the situation? Do we just quickly move on and it's

114
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: onto the next guy? What are we gonna get outrage

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: about today? Like it does feel like it's an outrage

116
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: cycle with social media. And I don't know if you

117
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: guys have noticed, but my social media UM usage outside

118
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: of big events is just plummeting. I just could not

119
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: care less about Twitter at all. I'm just so over it. Um.

120
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: I'm glad I don't have to pay close attention to

121
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: it now during NFL season, It's imperative. I got Toto,

122
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: the injuries, the line moves like. There's a lot of

123
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: time spend in front the computer. So while I'm in

00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: slightly bigger story then Jamal Adams in Seattle and the

137
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: contract and yes, how it does impact the Jets and

138
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Marcus May, their safety who does not have a deal

139
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: and wants big money and probably isn't gonna get it.

140
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Um se Juan Barkley running with the first team for

141
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the first time this week kind of a big deal

142
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: coming off a mass of injury, right, se Kwon Barkley

143
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: first team getting reps. Now. I remember when Sam Donald

144
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the Jet savior and I was

145
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: just like doing cartwheels, legit cart wheels when the Giants

146
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: took see Kwon Barkley. Uh, it hasn't quite panned out

147
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: for Barkley. He's hurt often. Offensive line stinks. But if

148
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: you look at just the skill position players and fantasy

149
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: people love to draft Giants. They're always trailing in games. Um,

150
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley is gonna get you seven carries for

151
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: twelve yards and then in the fourth quarter's gonna bring

152
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: up a seventy five yard touchdown run or he's gonna

153
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: catch like a sixty two yard touchdown catch because that's

154
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: what he does. Um. I. I just can't help but

155
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: be a little bit excited as the Giants as a

156
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: sleeper in the NFC East, the worst division in football,

157
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: if you just cover the quarterback, and I know that's

158
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of a big ask given quarter back matters more

159
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: than anything. Sa Kwon Barkley running back Kenny Golladay, who's

160
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: by the way, I know he's dinged up top six

161
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. I'm sorry, that's just a fact.

162
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: He is very good. Is he gonna help Daniel Jones?

163
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: We shall see their number two receivers Sterling Shepard very good.

164
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Their number three receiver, Darius Layton was jugger not for

165
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: me in fantasy. Last year they also drafted Kadarius Tony,

166
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: who is a skilled, skilled player. I really like him

167
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: on the outside. Um Der receiving group top six seven

168
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: union in the league. Gotta be tight end. Evan Ingram Hello,

169
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean Evan Ingram is a stud. Now he does

170
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: occasionally have the drop seeds, as they like to say. Um.

171
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: I like the kid Cayden Smith, the backup tight end

172
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: out of Stanford. Hasn't really shown yet, but he's good.

173
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, you know, listen, he's getting up there in age,

174
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: but he's got a good history. You look at their

175
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: school position players, they are really really good. I mean,

176
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: how does this team? How are they not better? I

177
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: guess the the easy answers, oh, well, you know, the

178
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: quarterback stincts, the offensive line, like what are they? Um?

179
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Can they protect? In the immortal words of um shoot,

180
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: who said it unbelievable I'm butchering this. The Last Boy Scout.

181
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: Damon Waynes, Yes, Damon Wains is in the bar with

182
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: um Bruce Willis, and Bruce Willis tells him he's a bodyguard,

183
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: and Damon Wayans goes, you could not. You couldn't protect

184
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: a couple of warm piss And the first time I

185
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: heard that, I just started cracking up. It was hilarious. Um,

186
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm a Damon Wayans fan, by the way, Last Boy

187
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: Scout incredible movie. My son another quick sidebar. My son

188
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: is ten and he started like a movie club with

189
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: his is one of his buddies, and um, they the

190
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: first movie they watched was Gladiator and the second movie

191
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: they watched was like Terminator six. I don't know. I

192
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: don't know how that happened. So we were spitballing movie

193
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: ideas for their next movie club thing, and he wants

194
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: only rated R. He's like, oh, I got Diehard. It's like, no,

195
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: You're not doing die Hard. I said to the wife,

196
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: what about Braveheart? And then she instantly was like, are

197
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: you serious? Uh? I forgot how I'm brave Hearts a

198
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: great movie. But for a ten year old, listen, he's

199
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: heard all the bad words. But I just I don't

200
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: need asking me about like certain bad words that he's

201
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna hear. Last Boy Scout that's not a ten year

202
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: old movie. Awesome movie, tons of tons of great memorable scenes.

203
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: Uh just wait, I mean Bruce Willis basically is a

204
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: walking f bomb. So I can't totally put my kid

205
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: in that. Um at any rate. I will way off

206
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: tangent because that's what I do, and that's why you

207
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: guys loved me. I went from The Giants Couldn't Protect

208
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones to The Last Boy Scout, two movies my

209
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: ten year old may want to watch next. He ultimately

210
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: suggested I Robot, and I was like, wait, haven't you

211
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: seen that? He's like yeah, like three times. I was like, well,

212
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: what are you doing watching it again? Uh so, and

213
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: he's in that weird stage where he's like he's not

214
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: doing the Disney movies. I mean we did watch, um

215
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: the really good one Soul during the Pandemic. That was excellent,

216
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: but like, if he's with his buddy, he's not gonna

217
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: watch like a Disney movie. Um. I thought about Field

218
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: of Dreams, but it might be too slow. Um, I

219
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: don't know. We're spitball. If you guys have any good idea,

220
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: good movie ideas, four ten year olds hit it, hit

221
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: me up on social media, and I'll we'll we'll run

222
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: it up the flagpole, as they say, at any rate.

223
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: I uh, I don't know. I just really like the

224
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: New York Giants would say Kwon Barkley taking first team

225
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: snaps assuming the offensive line figures out. I don't like

226
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: the coach very much. The defense exceeded all expectations um

227
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: last year. But maybe maybe the offensive line gets gets

228
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: Nate's older back and they figure it out. Um. I

229
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: mean it's possible that Jason Garrett figures things out as

230
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. I am not sold, but s Quon

231
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: Barkley is definitely worth monitoring. By the way, I I

232
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: have a couple of fantasy football drafts coming up. I

233
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: will not be taking s Kwon Barkley with my first pick,

234
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: hell to the know, unless he falls to like seven

235
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: or eight, which he definitely won't. Fox Sports Radio has

240
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams Jets trade him to Seattle. He instantly starts chirping,

241
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I need money. I need to be the highest paid safety.

242
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: I need this, that and the other. They were starting

243
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: to get ugly there for a moment, and you know,

244
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams was a wrecking ball at l s U Um.

245
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: He got to the Jets, he was tremendous in coverage

246
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: in the box, all round great safety. So then the

247
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Jets start negotiating with him, and it's very clear he

248
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: wants all of the money, and the Jets are just like, listen,

249
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: that's not how we do business. We value ed drushers.

250
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: And again, this is like two years ago when they started,

251
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: and we value cornerbacks. And I'm sorry, but I just

252
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: I can't see paying sixteen to seventeen million dollars a

253
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: year to a safety making sense. So they shipped into Seattle.

254
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: He was very good in the box, awesome reading of plays,

255
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: um attacking the quarterback, stopping the run like he was

256
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: awesome according to Pro Football Focus. And at this point

257
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: I need to take a time out and say, listen,

258
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Pro football Focus is not the Bible. But I have

259
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: become mostly thanks to gambling. A trust the numbers guy,

260
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: and there just aren't a ton of other places that

261
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: great out every player at every position. Pro Football Focus

262
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: does that. Now, if more people come along and do that, great,

263
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: I'll take those into account. But for now, you gotta

264
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: go with what we got and according to Pro Football Focus, guys,

265
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: and you might be ready for I hope you're sitting

266
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: down for this, Jamal Murray, I'm sorry, Jamal Murray. Jamal

267
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: Adams was the fifty third best safety in the NFL

268
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: last year, fifty third out of nine. If you're curious,

269
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: a guy from Rob G's Raiders, Jonathan Abram was dead

270
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: last overall. Now I know, I know, and you're shot

271
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: on fifty third best safety in the league. They're paying

272
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: him how much money? Here's the kicker. He was awesome

273
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher, third best safety pass rushing in

274
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback Well, why has he grated so low? Because

275
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: he couldn't defend in coverage? Now, you can chalk that

276
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: up to Seattle schemes. You can chalk that up to

277
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: some of his injuries. Seattle secondary was woful. Um. Seattle's

278
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: pass rush was a nimic. Their defense all around was terrible. Now,

279
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: they did start to improve late in the season, But

280
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: then you dig a little deeper and you're like, oh,

281
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: so did Seattles start to improve as a defense or

282
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: did they just start playing a bunch of crappy teams

283
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: and bad quarterbacks. Oh, so, what you're saying, Jason is

284
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: down the stretch. They played Colt McCoy, who sucks? They

285
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: played um who was the egos quarter It was it?

286
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: It was I think it was Wentz. Yeah, that was

287
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: that Monday night game. They played Carson Wentz, who's terrible.

288
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: They played I believe it was Sam Donald of my Jets.

289
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: They played I'm almost certain it was Dwayne Haskins on

290
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: the road because I bet Seattle and they didn't cover

291
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: the spread. They played the l A. Rams. I don't

292
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: think that was Golf. I think that was the game

293
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: he got hurt and I think they ended up beating

294
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: the backup. So you're talking about a lot of bad

295
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks down the stretch when they were all of a

296
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: sudden good early in the season. Kyler Murray yanks thirty

297
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: seven on them, Dak Prescott up and down the field,

298
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Cam Newton up and down the field. Uh, absolutely roll

299
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: them seven points, like they're just moving the ball up

300
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: and down the field on this deva Josh Allen was

301
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: the seminal game. I mean, he just tore the bup

302
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: and you just wonder like, Okay, well, are they gonna

303
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: be good this year or did they just catch lightning

304
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: in a bottle against a bunch of really bad quarterbacks

305
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: last year? And I kind of tend to agree with

306
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: the second part of that. And then you look at

307
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: the defense, You're like, oh, let's see where they got better?

308
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh um, wait, what they didn't get better? Folks? I

309
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: don't know how there is much optimism in Seattle given

310
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: this defense. I mean their defensive front. L J. Coll Year,

311
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 1: who so far, I don't want to say he's been

312
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: a bust, but he just hasn't been very good. Poona

313
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: Ford who was all right last year, Al Woods, Carlos Dunlap,

314
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks is the linebacker they shocked everybody drafting early.

315
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: He's starting next to Bobby Wagner and somebody named Cody Barton.

316
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: No depth at all on this defense, and the secondary

317
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: a Killer Witherspoon who the Niners let go, um Quandre Digs,

318
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: DJ Reid and then Jamal Adams, Like, it's pretty clear

319
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: after Bobby Wagner and Jamal Adams there is a colossal

320
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: drop off. I mean it's massive, and you're just wondering, wait,

321
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: why would they pay him all this money when they

322
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: don't have an edge rusher and they don't have a

323
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: lockdown cornerback. What's the strategy here? Now? The good news,

324
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 1: the schedule is pretty favorable. When you look at NFL

325
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: futures based on opponent win totals this season, Seattle has

326
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: the eighth best schedule in the league, and by best

327
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean easiest. So basically, the Seattle Seahawks have an

328
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: easy s jule but bad players on defense. I shouldn't

329
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: say bad players that's harsh, but not that much skill

330
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: or talent on defense. Now you look at the opener

331
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: in Indie, probably with not against Carson Wentz, so you're

332
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: facing Jacob Eason and then in round two you've got

333
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill at home. I'm curious about the Titans. I

334
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: haven't been as optimistic on them as others, but there

335
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: is a case to be made that they could be

336
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: very good this year. With Julio Jones in that offense.

337
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: We'll see. Then they have at Minnesota at San Franz,

338
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know if train Landon could be

339
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: the starter. I think it's Jimmy g I don't think

340
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: that highly of UM the Minnesota defense, but the Minnesota

341
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: offense should move the ball easily. Tennessee, for whichever you

342
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: want to say about them, their offense can move the ball.

343
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan defensive offensive genius. They're gonna move the ball.

344
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Then they play the Rams. So assuming Seattle can get

345
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: out of a brutal September October, after the Rams, it's

346
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh UM, then it softens up New Orleans Jacksonville.

347
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: You know that they have a cushy schedule in December

348
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: where nobody thinks that Houston's gonna be a playoff team.

349
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: Detroit's one of the worst teams in the league, Arizona

350
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: probably on the outside looking in Chicago definitely on the

351
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: outside looking, and so the schedule is favorable. But I

352
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: just think there's Seattle. After Russell Wilson raised a kerfuffle

353
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: about all the all the unhappiness in Seattle, they went

354
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: out and basically paid Jamal Adams a lot of money

355
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: and they got Russell Wilson a guard like I. I

356
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: don't see the path to the playoffs here other than

357
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: the schedule. But this defense, folks, I'm just telling you,

358
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: if you want to build a defense, historically you build

359
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: them around expensive edge rushers who can get to the

360
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and wreck offensive game plans and shut down cornerbacks

361
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: who can lock down half the field. You don't build

362
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: it around a safety making seventeen million dollars. And I

363
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: know safe, he don't want to hear that. And Marcus May,

364
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: who's very good on the Jets and is you know,

365
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: him and Jamal Adams were like supposed to be the

366
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: no the next like no fly zone like there. They

367
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: were building something there, and then the Jets realized, oh,

368
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: our defense stinks. We have two very good safeties, but

369
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: our defense stinks because who cares about safety, you know,

370
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: like it's scheme as much as anything. And the Jets

371
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: they don't really have any enough talent. So ultimately I

372
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: think Marcus May leaves, maybe they franchise tag him. But

373
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: I just if you're Seattle, I don't know how you're

374
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: getting excited about about this Jamal Adams deal. It just

375
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense

376
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: to me, Um, I think those are the two Yeah,

377
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: those are pretty much the two biggest stories today. I'm

378
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: not going to dive into the k D Draymond green Son.

379
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: I need to let that marinate for a little bit.

380
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: And also I want to hit up Kevin Durant on

381
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Instagram safe, he replies to me, because I have a

382
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: couple of questions that Draymond did not ask. I'm sure

383
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: k D will not answer them, but I figure I'll

384
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: give it a shot and if he does, I'll let

385
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: you guys know tomorrow. Droped you there, h
