1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: This is prime Cuts, the best of mccollin Coward podcast.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: Nick Right and I had a wild conversation bunch of topics,

4
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: boldest Week one NFL predictions to UFOs, my go to

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: Cowboy insider Matt Mosley said, why this training camp is

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: absolutely different than others. John Middlecoff stops by. We discuss

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: why he's very bullish on Aaron Rodgers. But first my

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: top takes so Sean Payton fires at Nathaniel Hackett day

9
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: later regrets saying it and apologizes. Aaron Rodgers talking to

10
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: Peter Schrager fires back at Sean Payton, calls him insecure

11
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: and should keep his favorite coach's name out of his mouth.

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: This is good, old fashioned nineteen eighty five media, before

13
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: everybody was terrified to be canceled and criticized, and the

14
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: avalanche that follows this happened all the time. People were outspoken.

15
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Buddy Ryan would rip Mike Ditka, Buddy Ryan would rip

16
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy Johnson would rip Buddy Ryan, and it

17
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: was wildly entertaining. But there's so much money in sports

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: now everybody's afraid to lose their position, their job, their tenure.

19
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: Their gig. Sean Payton was in one of those moods,

20
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: an intense guy said something he regretted. The day later,

21
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers defended his coach. I loved both Peyton's willingness

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: to offend and Aaron Rodgers' tenacity on defending Nathaniel Hackett.

23
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: I think Hackett from what I've been told many of

24
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: my contemporaries, I've got a lot of sources in the league.

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Hackett's one of the nicest guys in the league. Good dad,

26
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: good father, wonderful guy. Just doesn't have an edge, doesn't

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: have a bite to him, and you kind of sort

28
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: of have to have that.

29
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: I mean, the five.

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: Best head coaches in my lifetime, I think a Walsh

31
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: and Belichick and Andy Reid and Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells,

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: they've all got an edge. Bill Walsh had a bite,

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: Andy Reid had a bite. We all know Belichick, Parcels

34
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Johnson had a bite. Hackett doesn't. He's a coordinator.

35
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: He's a position coach. Nothing wrong with that at all.

36
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan was a great coordinator, became a great coach.

37
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn's a great coordinator, tried the coaching, Okay, probably

38
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: gets a second chance. We don't know if he's a

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: great head coach. We know he's a great coordinator defensively

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys, with Atlanta, with Seattle, or with the

41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: Cowboys and Seattle before he got the Falcons. Gig So

42
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: I like these little whizzing matches media scrums. I think

43
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: they're healthy. I think they're fun. Nobody gets hurt, and

44
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: the winner is you and me and the consumer. When

45
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: we lose is when people are terrified to be authentic

46
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: and afraid to be honest. I've been doing radio for

47
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: thirty years, almost almost thirty years, twenty five years. I'm

48
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: on the air live. Some things I say don't come

49
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: out right. Some things I say are a little harsh.

50
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: Some things aren't as funny as I think. It's an

51
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: imperfect world. You take some big swings. It's not edited.

52
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Not every time you ask a quarterback or a coach

53
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: and opinion, it should be fully edited. I don't want

54
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: PR people around it. Peyton didn't have a PR person

55
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: around him, and Aaron Rodgers didn't have a PR person

56
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: around him, and it was really really interesting raw content

57
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: loved them both. I kind of feel like First round

58
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: quarterback picks fall into three categories. The first is the

59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: most ideal. You got yourself a star justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Mahomes,

60
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, And in most cases you can

61
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: identify it even if they're not playing Mahomes, even if

62
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: they've got some growth needed Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. So

63
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: that's ideal. We know who those guys are. Trevor Lawrence

64
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: bad first year, you knew he was a star. The

65
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: second one is he's not going to be a franchise

66
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: quarterback for us, but can we salvage the first round

67
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: pick show him off? The third is we got to

68
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: miss So I think Trey Lance and Zach Wilson are

69
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: both in category two. I don't think Trey Lance will

70
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: ever be the starting quarterback answer for the Niners, nor

71
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: will Zach Wilson ever be the starting quarterback answer for

72
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: the Jets. I think Aaron's around for two or three years.

73
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: I think they're both in the salvage stage and the

74
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: showoff stage. If I was the Niners, I would play

75
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: Trey Lance a ton in the preseason, and I would

76
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: set him up for success. I'd use a couple of

77
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: starting offensive linemen, use some of your starters briefly or

78
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: top backups. Make him look good, get a fourth round pick.

79
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: I've been watching this league forever, so of you. There's

80
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: always seven teams, six teams, eight teams at the bottom

81
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: that by the trade deadline can use a quarterback, especially

82
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: a young one. I think Zach Wilson's in the same spot.

83
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: He'll never be the franchise quarterback. Size, style, lack of

84
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: self awareness. He's got what Lance doesn't, a world class arm.

85
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: But I think Trey is probably a more mature guy.

86
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: So if I was a Jets, I would play Zach

87
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: Wilson every available snap. I think Zach Wilson has the

88
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: talent in the arm. It fooled Joe Douglas and many others.

89
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: Somebody will give him a run, especially a team at

90
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. Maybe that's off to like a three

91
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: and three start, and they're looking at it thinking, listen,

92
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: the GM and the coach may get fired if they

93
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: don't make the playoffs. You find a team that says,

94
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: we got to go for it. I think it's very

95
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: possible you could move Zach Wilson at the trade deadline.

96
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: He's had moments and games that have been impressive. Trey

97
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Lance really necessarily hasn't, so I think you have to

98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: take a flyer on him. But Tray's a good guy,

99
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: quick learner, big body moves well. Salvag Jim So. I

100
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: think for Trey Lance and Zach Wilson. I thought last

101
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: year's biggest story in the preseason at quarterback was Kenny Pickett,

102
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: and by the end of the year I was impressed

103
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: with Kenny Pickett. I think Trey Lanson, Zach Wilson. I'm

104
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: interested to watch their preseasons. Sean McVay changed preseason for

105
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: the best or worst, depending on how you look at it.

106
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: Nobody plays their stars, nobody plays their starters. But I

107
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: think Trey Lance and Zach Wilson are really interesting stories.

108
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: Maybe not traded now, but they're in the salvage stage.

109
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: Somebody's going to probably by the trade deadline, a three

110
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: and three team loses a starter. I can see somebody

111
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: rolling the dice. I mean, let's be honest. If you've

112
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: quarterback with Kyle Shanahan, a lot of people will say, man,

113
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: you bring all that intellectual offensive capital to our franchise.

114
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: You could sell that. You could sell that to a coach.

115
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: All right, we bring on Nick Wright. First things first

116
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: this podcast What's Right with Nick Wright? So first of all.

117
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm interrupting you.

118
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: First of all, since you keep making fun of my hair,

119
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: I pulled it back where I got a ponytail just

120
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: for you, because you keep making fun of my hair

121
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: on television.

122
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: It's very hurtful.

123
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: And I listened back to our previous podcast, which was

124
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: the first one I had done with you. While I

125
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: was drinking. I drank a couple of glasses of wine

126
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: while we were talking. I thought it was outstanding. So

127
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: now I've upped it to a nice glass of Lobos tequila.

128
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: Shout out to our friends at Lobos. So you're always

129
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: drinking during these pods. I know that I know what

130
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: a little sauce collin sounds like, so I figure this

131
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: should be dynamite.

132
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: But now go ahead.

133
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Hey, I saw Oppenheim on Sunday night. Have you seen

134
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: it yet?

135
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: So I have not.

136
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: I'm I was trying to get someone in my family

137
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: to go with me, but it's three hours long. No

138
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: one will go with me, so I'm gonna have to

139
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: go by myself. But I want to see so I

140
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: want to see Oppenheimer, and you know my favorite movie trilogy,

141
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: you know, multi series is.

142
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: Mission Impossible the same.

143
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: And I haven't seen Mission Impossible yet either, because I'm

144
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: such a nerd. When I knew it was coming out,

145
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: I had to rewatch the whole six leading up to

146
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: it to really fully prepare, and so I finished that

147
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 4: this weekend. So I know everyone was talking about doing

148
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: a Barbie Oppenheimer double feature. I want to do a

149
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: Mission Impossible Oppenheimer double feature and just be blacked out

150
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 4: for seven hours.

151
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: Be amazing.

152
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm the same way. You know, Tom Cruise

153
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: is fascinating that he basically has saved theaters and now,

154
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: I mean for about seven years. He's the last great

155
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: movie star. And because of the scientology, a lot of people,

156
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: my wife included, are just out just will not even

157
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: consider talking about him. But he is really really interesting

158
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: in that he's been very real about his beliefs on

159
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: psychology and scientology, and that authentic belief has not at

160
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: all hurt him in the theater. So it's interesting it's

161
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: not hurting him at all. It hurts his reputation, but

162
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: people could easily cancel or protest him and many hate him.

163
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: And my takeaway is, if this is how popular he

164
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: is with scientology, how popular would he be or is

165
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: Scientology like Twitter that story that it's like one percent

166
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: of people actually care about it?

167
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think it also he this is going to

168
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: sound I don't know, this might be bad. He was

169
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: almost grandfathered in as call him an odd guy or four.

170
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 4: People started getting really under the microscope for stuff, and

171
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: so it would have It feels like if he would

172
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: have come out with all of the things that we

173
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: learned about him twenty years ago, eighteen months ago, it

174
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: maybe could have gone really bad for him. But we've

175
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: known this about Tom Cruise for so long. Yeah, nobody.

176
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: People cared briefly and then didn't. And he is a

177
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 4: such a dynamite talent, and that I think people I

178
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: think people typically can separate the art from the artists

179
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 4: to a degree like that, and then it's some there's

180
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: different lines for different people and then there so for

181
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: for a long time I would have told you my

182
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: favorite musician ever was Kanye Kanye, and there was at

183
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 4: no you know, for a long time Kanye was odd

184
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: or a little annoying or whatever, and then at some

185
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: point he went to me six steps beyond the pale

186
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: and the art. To me, the music got considerably worse,

187
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: and I'm like.

188
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 3: Not, you know what I mean, I'm not worth it.

189
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: Tom Cruise is still awesome in every movie he makes

190
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: and has been like the same level of weird guy

191
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 4: since I was a kid. It feels like, you know

192
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 4: what I mean, how long ago was he jumping on

193
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: Oprah's couch? Twenty five years ago?

194
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? And so yeah there.

195
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: I mean, there aren't very many movie stars like you know,

196
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: Will Smith and Tom Cruise probably the two biggest movie stars.

197
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: Will Smith not exactly a normal fella up there punching

198
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: people at the oscars like so, I don't know.

199
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: Well, it does prove that mostly the noise doesn't matter Cruise,

200
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: and Cruise is the most criticized actor in Hollywood for

201
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: his personal views has zero impact. And that and that

202
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: you and I have discussed this. It really doesn't matter

203
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: what people say about you on social media. You either

204
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: create a show that's entertaining or you don't. Nobody cares

205
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: it just they don't care.

206
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: It is so and this I think where it matters

207
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: is if the people let it affect them. I think

208
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: that I think it becomes somewhat almost circular in that.

209
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: I think the folks who get criticized by the anonymous

210
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: masses and then it changes how they act or what

211
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: they do, then it does matter, because then they're not

212
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: You're not getting the same person.

213
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: Really.

214
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: Like, for instance, we talked about Anon Rodgers on your

215
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: show and on my show today. Where I will give

216
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: him credit is he for a guy who who historically

217
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: I think was quite thin skinned, he has not. He

218
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 4: has leaned into some of the non football things that

219
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: he has been heavily criticized for and not run from

220
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: it at all and simply said, yeah, I think my

221
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: biggest critics are the people who could benefit the most

222
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 4: from the things I do. Like I said that to

223
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: Peter King, he was like one of his favorite lines.

224
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: And again I'll give him credit for this. It's a

225
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: smart line, and I think there is some wisdom to it.

226
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: He says, I wish people were less judgmental and more curious.

227
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: And you know, so I don't judge him for the

228
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: ayahuasca or the Darkness retreat. I think some of his

229
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: views on modern medicine are potentially dangerous, and.

230
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of that. But he does

231
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: not run from that.

232
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: And because he doesn't run from it, like, how much

233
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: can it actually affect him?

234
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 3: And the answer is not really much at all.

235
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: You are puzzled or dismayed by the lack of UFO coverage,

236
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, so I first of all, do not believe

237
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: in UFOs. I think what happens is much like cell

238
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: phone technology, where like Norway was ahead of us. We

239
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: don't always have the best ideas. That's first of all.

240
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: There are people that have like this whole thing about

241
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: no exhaust. If there was exhaust with any of these

242
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: Pentagon pieces of video, then we would know it's not

243
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: outside the galaxy. Is it possible that some other country,

244
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: by the way, like China doesn't treat its citizens well,

245
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: they spend every penny on weaponry. Is it possible that

246
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: a Russia or a China, a non ally went out

247
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: and created it ahead of us. Yeah, that's the first thing.

248
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: Second of all, there are so many satellites in the

249
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: air now, many of them Elon Musk created. There's just

250
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: more in the sky, more moving, more blinking, and it's

251
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: very easy for something like even a plane going overhead

252
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. I will sit there, have a cigar

253
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: and show my wife and be like, what is that?

254
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: And then she's like after ten minutes, she's like, oh, oh,

255
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: it's a helicopter. So I think there's two things. People

256
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: could be ahead of us, and there's just more crap

257
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: in the sky. It would also help if one legitimate person,

258
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: you know, like Bill Clinton, came out and said, yeah,

259
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: we got UFOs. It's always like a whistleblower who heard

260
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: from another whistle blower. So that's my take. Now I

261
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: want you to take from there. You do believe in UFOs?

262
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Apparently?

263
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: No?

264
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: Hold on.

265
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: Oh wait, I want to be very clear about what.

266
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: I believe in.

267
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: I if I am not a deeply religious person, and

268
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: I feel like it's almost man, if you're not a

269
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: religious person, then it is just almost logically impossible that

270
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 4: we are the only intelligent life for him in a

271
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: universe that the expanse of it is, it's beyond our

272
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: own mental comprehension. There are more stars in the sky

273
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: than there are grains of sand on every beach in

274
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: the world. So there are trillions of stars in the sky.

275
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: Our sun is just one of them.

276
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: So the expanse of it.

277
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: So I do I believe there's intelligent life for them

278
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: out there past us.

279
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: Of course I do. It's impossible to not believe that.

280
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: Now that is a giant leap from there to they

281
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: have visited us, and they've stopped by, and there's you know,

282
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: they u Oposa landed.

283
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: I don't know that I believe that.

284
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: What was so concerning to me was not that I'm

285
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 4: convinced aliens are here. What was concerning to me is

286
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: the United States Congress had a hearing. The people testifying

287
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 4: were from the Navy, from other branches of the military.

288
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: They were not some.

289
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: Wackad, do you know what I mean, coming out of

290
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 4: off a bender.

291
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: They seemed to be like reputable people.

292
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: They clearly believed that they had either seen or had

293
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 4: some contact. Again, they could be wrong. Their testimony didn't

294
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 4: didn't concern What concerned me was, No one cared. What

295
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: concerned me was. I went the next day to the

296
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: New York Times homepage. It was not I scrolled to

297
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 4: the bottom column. There wasn't a fucking store. It wasn't there.

298
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: They had a long thing about the Appalachian Trail. They

299
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: had three articles on Trump, two on Ukraine. They had

300
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: they had they had two, they had columns about diversity,

301
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: equity and inclusion programs. All of this nothing on our congress.

302
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: People interviewed our military, they said, we have the UFOs

303
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: or UAPs as they called him. Didn't have an article

304
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 4: on their front page. I went to the Washington Post.

305
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 4: It's like, all right, maybe the Times is late. I

306
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 4: don't know. Washingt poasts had one article. The headline was

307
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: Congress hears that UAPs have visited Earth. Americans react met

308
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 4: and I'm like, this is not I'm not saying the

309
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 4: movies a real life, but I watched Independance Day as

310
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 4: a kid, and you know what was reassuring about that

311
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 4: was not that Will Smith was going to kick the

312
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 4: alien's ass, but it was the aliens showed up and

313
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 4: everybody came together, was like, this is an existential threat.

314
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: We all need to set everything aside and unite. So

315
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: what scared me was it seemed to be a bit

316
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: of a Canarian the coal mine for do we as

317
00:18:54,359 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 4: a general public have the capability anymore if something major

318
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: were to happen, to set everything down, to turn off,

319
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: like to get off our apps, to stop yelling at

320
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 4: each other and be like, oh, we all need to

321
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 4: pay attention and pull together for a common good, and

322
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

323
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: That we can't.

324
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 4: I saw it was the same thing that the The Times.

325
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 3: I think it was The Times this morning.

326
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: It might not have been The Times rather the most

327
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 4: street journal I don't know, but one of their polling

328
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 4: one of the major reputable polling things, ask the question

329
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: is it hotter than normal this summer? And the answer,

330
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 4: whether you said yes or no, lined up directly with

331
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: your political affiliation, and I'm like, oh, we might just

332
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 4: be fucked here. Like even it's like, hey, what's the

333
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: weather like? And the answer is, well, how do you vote?

334
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: Because it's say, it's hot, seems awful liberal and saying

335
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: that feels the same is awful conservative.

336
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: And that's and so people. So That's what It.

337
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: Wasn't so much that I'm convinced aliens are here. It

338
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: was if we get the you know, the alarms go off,

339
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, the President of the United

340
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: States is on TV and is like, there's an asteroid

341
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 4: it's seventy two days away from hitting us. Would we

342
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 4: all be like, all right, everybody stop, how are we

343
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: gonna fit?

344
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: How are we gonna fix this?

345
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? Or would we spend the first sixty eight days

346
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 4: being like, that's fease full of it. No, he's not

347
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: full of it and just yelling at each other. That's

348
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: what concerned me about the thing. Do we still have

349
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: the capability to pay attention to important things and come together?

350
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: And I don't.

351
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced we do, so I'm going to ask you.

352
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: But there's going to be an up seven week one

353
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: that is a shocker. I'm gonna tell you mine, and

354
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: then there's gonna be a team that's a shocker. So

355
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you my upset. Shane Steiken goes to Indy.

356
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: We don't know what the hell that offense is going

357
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: to look like in Anthony Richardson. Jacksonville has got some

358
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: new pieces, Calvin Ridley. They come in very confident as

359
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: a heavy favorite. It's a division rival game on the road,

360
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: and we have no idea what Shane Steiken, who with

361
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts turned him into superstars, is

362
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: that the Colts are going to upset the Jags in

363
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: week one. Colts are not a good team, but you

364
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: can be good for three hours in Week one when

365
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: the locker room is still convinced you're a really good team.

366
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: Bad teams have a lot of fight for about five

367
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: weeks until they're zero to five or one and four.

368
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: So my upset of the week, I'm going to go

369
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: with it Colts shock the world and beat Jacksonville. What's yours?

370
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: Okay?

371
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 4: So I don't think that's terrible. I obviously love the

372
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: Jags this year and Trevor Lawrence if I were to

373
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: pick a major Week one upset again, even though I

374
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: do not believe in this team or this quarterback at all,

375
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: with a whole off season to prepare with the real

376
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: thing that is a Super Bowl hangover, is it impossible

377
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: to believe Bill Belichick and the Patriots at home beat Philadelphia.

378
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 4: That's not impossible to believe that, and people freak out

379
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: and Philly will be fine.

380
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: They have too much talent, you know.

381
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: And I don't think New England's gonna be any good,

382
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 4: Like I shouldn't say any good. They're not going to

383
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 4: be a really good team. But that's that. I certainly like,

384
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: here's the thing, that's the Patriots getting five at home,

385
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 4: and that to me feels like that there's real value

386
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: there in the Patriots money line, because if that maybe

387
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: they lose by twenty one, and it's like, oh, Mac

388
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 4: is not going to be good the Patriots, you know whatever.

389
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 4: But if that's close, they can win that game. One

390
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 4: thousand percent they can win that game. And for Philadelphia

391
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: there is the the I think the real hurdle of

392
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 4: everything is going to feel a little slow motion. Ye

393
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: until later in the year, and you might eat which

394
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: wouldn't exist if they were in the AFC. There is,

395
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: as you were doing earlier, in a different way, the

396
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: sense of urgency of there's too many good, goddamn quarterbacks, like,

397
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 4: we better not screw around here, because there's going to

398
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 4: be some great quarterbacks that are on our heels or

399
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: ahead of us. In the NFC, the Eagles got to

400
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, there's US, there's San Francisco, there's Dallas,

401
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: and then who are we talking about? A Vikings team

402
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: who we annihilated last year and then fell, you know?

403
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 4: So I think I think that that would be a

404
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 4: Week one upset. Again, I haven't really dove into this entirely.

405
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: I'm trying to look at the other ones that would

406
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: make sense go ahead.

407
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: So I think we both picked one because that was

408
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: my second choice. By the way, that was my really yeah,

409
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: oh fun. Okay, now you have to have a wow

410
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: prediction on a team, Okay, like somebody's gonna shock us.

411
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: I'm gonna argue Carolina. So I think Frank Reich is

412
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: really good. They built an excellent staff. It's a bad division.

413
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 2: I don't trust the coach of the Saints. They have

414
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: an excellent front seven. The corners are good but beat

415
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 2: up that are now healthy. They ran the ball effectively

416
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: last year. The O line is young and emerging, and

417
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: Bryce Young is really smart and capable. He may have

418
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: a lower ceiling, but he'll be good in week one.

419
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: I think week one, Week two, week three, you're gonna

420
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: look at Carolina and you forget last year that defense

421
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: was nasty. I think Carolina has a chance to win

422
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: their division.

423
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: That is my wild pick.

424
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So.

425
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: My only antie on that is I don't like tiny

426
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: football players, and Bryce Young is tiny. That's my concern.

427
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: It just a general belief of just so. I'm not

428
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: going to tell you the team, but if I were

429
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: to tell you, a team's first handful of games are

430
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: against the Bears, Falcons, Saints, Lions, Raiders, Broncos. That is

431
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 4: their first what was that five six games green Bay,

432
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 4: could they get out to a great start. I think

433
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: the answer is yes. I think that that team is

434
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 4: there is going to be a bit of a deep

435
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 4: breath sigh of relief that the Aaron Rodgers stuff is

436
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: just done with do I think there is going to

437
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 4: be a real chip on their shoulder of.

438
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 3: Man, this guy sure love.

439
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 4: It's almost the the the person who's you know, spouse

440
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: left them and then you see that the spouse and

441
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: you know is giving interviews some about how in love

442
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 4: they are with their new person, like, hey, I was

443
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 4: great to you, like and like a little bit of

444
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: oh really.

445
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: I think Lafoor is a good coach.

446
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 4: I think that division is open in this regard.

447
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: I think the Vikings are good. I think the Lions

448
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 3: are good. I don't think there's a great team and

449
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 3: the Lions, you know, everyone gas to the floor on

450
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: the Lions concerns me a bit. So I think green

451
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: Bay being you know, a nine win, ten win team

452
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: and maybe finding a way into the playoffs because in

453
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: the NFC finding seven playoff teams is not easy. So

454
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: I think Green Bay is a viable thing. I want

455
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: to kind of turn it on its head. Because everybody.

456
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say everybody. People talk a lot about who's

457
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 3: going to be the team that jumps up and shocks people.

458
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 3: It's like, oh man, they're good.

459
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: We rarely put out there who's the team everyone thinks

460
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: is going to be good that is going to fall

461
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 4: flat on its face. I think it's going to be

462
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 4: the Jets. I think that people have and the Jets

463
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: it's the exact, by the way, same reason. The Broncos

464
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 4: were my pick for that last year, and I was right.

465
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: But it's a lot of the same recipe. A wide

466
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: receiver corps that is wildly being all of a sudden overrated.

467
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: People last year we're talking about the Bronx are like,

468
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 4: oh my god, all these weapons, and I'm like, I

469
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 4: like Jerry Judy, fine, but in the wide receiver position

470
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 4: has never been better than it is right now. He's

471
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 4: not even close to one of the ten best in

472
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 4: the league. And then I and then it was like,

473
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 4: oh no, all these guys. People are talking about the

474
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 4: Jets weapons like they're great. Garrett Wilson had an awesome

475
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: rookie year. Okay, Alan Lazard was a below average number

476
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 4: two with Green Bay last year. Hardman's their three. And

477
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: so if we're talking about weapons just in the AFC,

478
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 4: Cincinnati's is better. The Chargers are better, the Dolphins are better.

479
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 4: I would argue the Raiders are better. The Bills are

480
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 4: right in line with them. So we're so they're running

481
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: backs coming off in ACL, they're two. They have two

482
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: left tackles. One has barely played two years because of injury.

483
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 4: The other is thirty eight years old, literally thirty eight

484
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: years old. And Dwayne Brown. I don't think the coach

485
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: is great the Jets. And also the other thing for

486
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: the Jets is while the end of the year is

487
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 4: very soft, how are the Jets, who are, keep in mind,

488
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: on a six game losing streak from last year, going

489
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: to react if they start?

490
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 3: What are they going to start? When it is.

491
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: Bills, Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs and all of a sudden, big

492
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: game against the Broncos, then Eagles. That first six games,

493
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: you have the Bills, the Cowboys, the Chiefs, and the Eagles,

494
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: and your easy games are the Patriots who have beaten

495
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 4: you for seven years in a row every single time,

496
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: and then the Broncos that all of a sudden is

497
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 4: a blood feud because your dear friend Sean Payton went

498
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 4: to scorch tarth on him. Yeah, that is not an

499
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: easy opening set. So I think the Jets are the

500
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: team that is not going to meet expectations.

501
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: This was fun.

502
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: We did an hour almost we did fifty.

503
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: You got to think about which team's gonna sometime, either

504
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: on the volume or on the show.

505
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: You don't have to tell me now.

506
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: I think Philadelphia is going to be good, but nine

507
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: win good, not thirteen win good. I think they're gonna

508
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: be in a dog fight with Dallas for the title.

509
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: I think they're pulling back. And by the way Shane

510
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: Stiken leaves, they lost multiple linebackers O lines getting Yeah,

511
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: they oh line's old, still good, but it's older. They

512
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: faced a conveyor belt of awful quarterbacks, I mean awful, terrible,

513
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: and then they got to brought pretty break in the playoffs.

514
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 4: It's like, and every good quarterback after Week two lit

515
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: them up, every single one.

516
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: My takeaway is Philadelphia is really good, but they don't

517
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: feel like the Bully, you know, the broad Street Bully,

518
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: that former Flyers team.

519
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: They don't like.

520
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Last year they were beating teams like a college team,

521
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: beating teams by thirty. I think they're going to be

522
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: in a lot of close games. I think Dallas can

523
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: line up with them. I think there's a lot of

524
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: teams that can line up with them. And I think

525
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is terrific, but I think he'll pull back

526
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: and I think he'll have to play from behind occasionally.

527
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I love Jalen, but good God, when you

528
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: play with a twenty point lead in the second quarter,

529
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: it's just a different environment than trailing late in the third.

530
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: It's a different position. So I think Philadelphia is good,

531
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: but doesn't look nearly as good as last year.

532
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: I think that's the I buy the way. I by

533
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: the way, I agree with.

534
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: That I I am. I'm gonna say this, hold on.

535
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: You can keep this in, but don't have your people

536
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: put this specific thing on social This is a special

537
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 4: thing for you, for me, to you, for the people

538
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: that made it. At the end of the podcast, I

539
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: am ninety percent sure. I'm obviously picking the Chiefs in

540
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: the AFC. It's gonna be hard to pick against a

541
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: team that's literally gonna go win three straight Super Bowls.

542
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go ahead and go with them.

543
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 4: In the NFC, I I really think I'm picking Dallas

544
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 4: like I don't think the Niners like I just I

545
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: don't think the Niners can. You can't just have nobody's

546
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 4: at quarterback for every year and just have it worked.

547
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 4: At some point, it's got to just bite you. And

548
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 4: the fact that your guy Mike Silver's like, hey, Trey Lance,

549
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 4: he's throwing one hundred and twenty passes.

550
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: They might cut him. I'm like, are you what's and man?

551
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: And and Shanahan's like, hey, I'll turn Sam Darnold into

552
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 4: Steve Young. I'm like, Okay, I picked the Niners who

553
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: go to Super Bowl last year. I'm not doing it

554
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: this year. So I'm doing the Niners. And the Eagles

555
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 4: I thought were a good but not great team last

556
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 4: year that got hot. Had you know they had more

557
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: Saxony teams since eighty five Bears? They going to duplicate that.

558
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: I don't think. So the quarterback thing is real. So

559
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 4: if it's not nine Ers Eagles, who is it? Like?

560
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: Literally, am I picking Gino Smith to go to the

561
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: Super Bowl?

562
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 4: No? Am I picking Jared Golf to go to the

563
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl? No Am I picking Kirk Cousins. No, I

564
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: know it's become very in vogue to say Justin Fields

565
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 4: one of the five best quarterbacks in football. I'd like

566
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 4: to see him play five great quarters before I'm ready

567
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 4: to say that.

568
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: So, so we're running.

569
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: Out of teams. I think I'm gonna pick the Cowboys,

570
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: which is so weird because I'm not the corner of

571
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 4: people in sports media that are either I feel like

572
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: eighty five percent of sports media is well established pro

573
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 4: or anti Cowboys, and then there's a handful of you

574
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: me a couple others that's like, ah, I you know,

575
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: I find them interesting, but I don't love them.

576
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: Or hate them.

577
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: But I think I'm going to pick them to go

578
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl. I just think I am. I

579
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 4: just I'm running out of sea in the NFC signing

580
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 4: Chiefs Cowboys Super Bowl, highest rated ever, Mahomes going for

581
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 4: back to back Cowboys and for the further it would

582
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 4: be uh Dyan Chiefs going for twenty and oh versus

583
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, Oh boy, oh boy.

584
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 2: All right, My guy, Matt Mosley Doomsday podcast with Ed Order.

585
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: He's been embedded with the Cowboys and Oxnard. It's hot

586
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: as you know what in California. We usually first of all,

587
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: it rained like Seattle in the winter, and now it

588
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: feels like Louisiana in the summer. It's humid and hot.

589
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: So what you know, You've been to so many of

590
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: these things. This feel like just another one. No, I mean,

591
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, I have been to a lot of them.

592
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, nobody cares about any southern California

593
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 2: heat wave. I landed back in Dallas at one oh five.

594
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 5: All right, It was one oh one at about nine

595
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 5: o'clock when I landed, about one hundred or.

596
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: Something like that. Oh yeah, so speaking a hundred.

597
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 5: I just came from my grandmother's one hundredth birthday celebration.

598
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: All right, Wow, Francis Hendricks Lawrence has turned one hundred.

599
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 5: So pretty neat, pretty neat.

600
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: What's the secret to her life? Boy, it's been a

601
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of clean living.

602
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 5: Involved in that church secretary for many many years, had

603
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 5: about a twenty five year run there. But just she

604
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 5: comes from a long line of people who live a

605
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 5: long time. And when my grandfather passed away, I don't know,

606
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 5: sixteen seventeen years ago, just never missed a beat. It

607
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 5: was just kind of like, you know what, I got

608
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 5: to keep rolling here, and so as of today even.

609
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, she's just she was the bell of the ball.

610
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 5: Everybody came, you know, she had something to say to everybody.

611
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 5: She knew who everybody was, and so it's pretty pretty

612
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 5: awesome to watch and we're extremely fortunate.

613
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: So how does this camp feel different?

614
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: You know?

615
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 5: I think the McCarthy thing makes it different. With the

616
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 5: play calling, He's handling himself in a different manner than

617
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 5: when I've been around him. And I think Jerry with

618
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 5: each passing year and Jerry's into his eighties now, I

619
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 5: think Jerry sometimes has a little bit different way about him.

620
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 5: I don't want to call it an edge, really, but Jerry,

621
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 5: for one of the first times that I can recall,

622
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 5: was all business at the State of the Union addressed

623
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 5: to start. You know, he's generally known for saying something

624
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 5: off the wall in that in that setting, and he

625
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 5: didn't even make an opening statement. I mean, we're all set,

626
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 5: you know, we're set up to hear him talk before

627
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 5: anybody ask a question for at least twenty minutes, and

628
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 5: literally they just started the news conference and he said, okay,

629
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 5: let's go, let's go some questions.

630
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: What do y'all have?

631
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 5: So there's all it's I think it's hard to have

632
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 5: a sense of urgency. There are better places to have

633
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 5: a since an urgency than in Auxnard because of where

634
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 5: we're used to being and how it feels and how

635
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 5: much nicer it is and the surroundings and everything. But

636
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 5: I mean McCarthy met with his player counsel the night

637
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 5: before that State of the Union and got a vibe that,

638
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 5: I mean, the team sort of has a little hedge

639
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 5: and they don't even have the pads on yet.

640
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: Pads come on tomorrow.

641
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 5: So to me, there was a little more edginess from

642
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 5: the team To start a training camp. It's usually very

643
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 5: laid back, not much going on, and I think they've

644
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 5: since that, you know, a couple of twelve wins seasons,

645
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 5: not being able to get by San Francisco, Like if

646
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 5: they're ever going to do it, like.

647
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: It almost has to be this season.

648
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: Well, Zach Martin, tenth year in Dallas, eight time All

649
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: Pro Jerry said, I'm not budgeting on the contract. This

650
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: is one of the rare times I support Jerry. They

651
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: made him the highest paid guard when he signed. He

652
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: was for many of the years of his contract. He

653
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 2: has made more money than any guard in the NFL,

654
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: that's been in the league for ten years, and he's

655
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: got a couple of years left on his contract. And

656
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, Patrick Mahomes right now is the seventh highest

657
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: paid quarterback. Is do you think that's a I don't

658
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: think Jerry should budge, but do you think this could

659
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: get ugly surly?

660
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 4: No?

661
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 5: Because Zach is not really he's not up to that.

662
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 5: Zeke was willing a few years ago to stare Jerry down,

663
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 5: and Znac doesn't have that in him. And I'm not

664
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 5: even saying what Zeke did was wrong. Zeke did it

665
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 5: because he knew his value. And the Cowboys cratered. They

666
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 5: know they don't have to. I mean, like you know,

667
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 5: if Zach truly didn't show up, I mean, that's that's

668
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 5: a big problem. You can't start the season without your

669
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 5: all pro right guard. I mean, they don't really have

670
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 5: anybody to turn to in that regard. I heard in

671
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 5: Jerry's voice was the fact that, hey, there's two years

672
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 5: left on his contract.

673
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: What's he talking about?

674
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 5: And and to your point, Colin, he got his rookie contract,

675
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 5: he's a first round pick, and then he got another contract,

676
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 5: and so Jerry's kind of right, like I mean, everybody

677
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 5: loves Zach and it's not like and the other thing

678
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 5: is he's a veteran and he's so good and he's

679
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 5: so good at staying prepared that I don't know any

680
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 5: other position, you know. And Zeke came in and was

681
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 5: kind of ready to go at the last minute. This

682
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 5: guy could be so I don't I don't sense any worry.

683
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 5: And I think you know, you heard Dak say. Dak

684
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 5: was quoted saying, hey, the man talking about Zach and

685
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 5: Jerry was asked about that, and Jerry had a very

686
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 5: funny answer, which was, well, we pay the quarterbacks all

687
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 5: the money.

688
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: That is funny.

689
00:39:54,840 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 2: By the way, I saw that Zeke visited the Patriots.

690
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: You you said Zeke was a little bit the soul

691
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 2: of the locker room. Now that he's gone, do you

692
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: still believe that?

693
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.

694
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 5: He was sending messages to the team on the eve

695
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 5: of their first practice. I think in the meeting room,

696
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 5: the running backs, they're still hearing from him. Tony Pollard

697
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 5: still brings him up. I mean, people are still there's

698
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 5: still an aura about him. Now he had faded some

699
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 5: of his playing ability, So you're okay, moving away from

700
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 5: that but yeah, there's still some there's still and that's

701
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 5: what the call that Bill Belichick made was to Stephen Jones,

702
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 5: and he just wanted to know kind of where Zeke

703
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 5: was and ed and I had a chance to go

704
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 5: one on one with Steven or two on one, and

705
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 5: that was one of the things Stephen talked about, was

706
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 5: just his how he went on and on about Zeke

707
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 5: and what he could mean in one of those running

708
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: back rooms. So, I mean, it tells you all you

709
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 5: need to know, though, on how much he has left

710
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 5: in the tank, on the fact that he's still out there.

711
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: He's a workhorse, He's played through all sorts of injuries.

712
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 5: I mean he's not I don't know if he's anywhere

713
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: close to a lead back anymore. I mean, it's one

714
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 5: of the few positions you can go from. Think about

715
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 5: that last year the starter, even though Pollard took over,

716
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 5: he was almost a symbolic starter. This year, he can't

717
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 5: even get a role on a team. He can't even

718
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 5: get out there, right. But Belichick has had a way

719
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 5: over the years of taking chances on certain veteran players

720
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 5: that maybe have some deans on their character. This guy,

721
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 5: he had some issues obviously, he was suspended for.

722
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: Several years ago. But in terms of like.

723
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 5: What the players think of him and the coaches, other

724
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 5: than maybe Dak, there's no one who approaches Zeke in

725
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 5: that regard.

726
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: Colin Pads are a poppin' football. It's kind of unofficially

727
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: here preseason games, but week one, we're almost a month

728
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: away from that Thursday Night doo zi of Dan Campbell

729
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 1: versus Andy Reid.

730
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't want to be Dan Campbell. Andy's been

731
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 2: the best September coach in football. You know, I thought

732
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 2: there was something interesting. So Andy all off season has

733
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: been saying we're gonna put more on Patrick Mahomes plate. Okay,

734
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: we're gonna put more on his plate. The Chargers get

735
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore inside the building. The feeling is with Lombardi.

736
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 2: They weren't they weren't giving him enough on his plate.

737
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore is gonna put more on his plate. I

738
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 2: read a quote today about Dak Prescott where they're trying

739
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: to make the cowboy offense Dak friendly take more off

740
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: his plate, and my takeaway on that, John, you're a

741
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 2: scout in this league is time out. The great ones,

742
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: the Mannings, the Mahomes just keep throwing layers of stuff

743
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: at him. Dak, They're pulling stuff off the table. I

744
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: hate the sound of that. So Schottenheimer's a conservative OC.

745
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: Mike tends to be a conservative OC seven to twelve

746
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: and one in his last twenty games play calling. That

747
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: was one of those. Doesn't it sound like much? Didn't

748
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: love the comment by Dallas.

749
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: I would say this, Colin, just because you pay a

750
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: guy a premium doesn't mean he's a premium player. And

751
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: once Dak got that forty million dollars a year contract

752
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,479
Speaker 1: didn't change his limitations. I would though, the last two years,

753
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have lost right in two years ago in

754
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: the first round, in this year in the second round

755
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers, and I think they started

756
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: seeing themselves we're a defensive team because we could hang

757
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: with their physicality, and last year they did. They went

758
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: blow for blow. It was like to Mike Tyson's hitting

759
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: each other. It was the most physical game of the playoffs.

760
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: But they lost because Dak did what Kyle Shanahan never

761
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: allows his quarterback to do, for the most part, is

762
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: ruin the game. He threw the picks, so you always

763
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: had the stat when Zeke before he fell off a cliff,

764
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: was like, run the ball, don't get too pass happy

765
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: with Dak. That's when he kind of turns into a

766
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: more of an average quarterback. If you can keep him

767
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: probably in the high twenties attempts, you got a chance.

768
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: Especially with how good their defense is. And I would

769
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: say that their defensive coordinator has turned in right there

770
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: with Vic Fangio right as just their defensive personnel as

771
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: one of the betters in the league. So they can

772
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: play a game that most teams can't because most teams

773
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: don't have very good defenses. So if you don't turn

774
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: the ball over, like I think, I'm going to pick

775
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to win the division, and not because I

776
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott is better than Jalen. I just think

777
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: they have like they kind of know who they are

778
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time. With the Cowboys,

779
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: they're always kind of fighting one side of the other

780
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: and they don't have a clear identity. I think they

781
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: do have an identity now and if to me, it

782
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: just comes down to Dak Prescott and not turning the

783
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: ball over, because if he doesn't turn the ball over

784
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: against the forty nine Ers, the forty nine ers lose

785
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: that game.

786
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: Well, there's an I don't have it in front of me.

787
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: With Dak Prescott, he wins almost eighty percent of his

788
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: starts when he doesn't have a turnover, which is not

789
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: abnormal for many quarterbacks. But what happens when he has

790
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: just one or more he wins like thirty percent of

791
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: his games, is that it's like Lebron James. Lebron James

792
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: could have a bad shooting night and still be the

793
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: most impactful player on the floor because he does so

794
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: many things. Well, Dak's not talented enough to overcome a turnover.

795
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 2: He's just not. Brady has won super Bowls with pick sixes. Right, Mannings.

796
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: Both Mannings have had a high interception years, farve huge

797
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: interception years, and they win the division. Dak, the margins

798
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: are tight. It's a little mac Jones, it's a little

799
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. Server brings down the wind total. Well, what's

800
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 2: where Matt Stafford is I think sometimes talked about not

801
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: in that top five to six, but in that next

802
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 2: crew guys. His physical attributes and talent is far superior

803
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 2: from kind of that group, right, because he's gonna turn.

804
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: The ball over, But at any moment. He could throw

805
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in a half. He can stretch the field

806
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: in one play, throw the ball, you know, forty fifty

807
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: plus yards with his eyes closed. It's why you remember

808
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when the Warriors, I think

809
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: they won fifteen games. Steph got hurt, Clay got hurt,

810
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Kevin had just left, and they just fell apart. I

811
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: know you know you're down in LA. You're close to

812
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: the Rams. Cooper Cup already injured. They are very dependent

813
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 1: on like three guys, and if those three guys are healthy,

814
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: they can be competitive because they got a really good coach.

815
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: I think the Rams have a better chance of competing

816
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: for Caleb Williams than they do a playoff spot. I

817
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: think they're going to be really bad because I just

818
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: think it's inevitable. Their players are a little older now.

819
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: Stafford with the elbow, how often, you know, we see

820
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: it all the time in baseball players. Once the alball

821
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: starts getting messed up, it kind of goes. We saw

822
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: in Roethlisberger the elbow never the same. So Stafford's Cooper

823
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: Cup now injured last year, injured again. Now Aaron Donald

824
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: all time great player, but he can only do so much.

825
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: We've seen great defensive players on shitty teams. I mean,

826
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: JJ Watt's been a great player on bat You can't

827
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: this isn't the NBA. So to me, the Rams, their

828
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: margin feir is so thin just with the depth of

829
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: their team, and we're already seeing the injuries happen, and

830
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: last year it happened and they were got awful. They

831
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: just happened to not have their pick. I don't see

832
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: why they think about the division. We know Seattle's going

833
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: to be really competitive. Obviously the forty nine Ers are good.

834
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: Even if Arizona stinks. They play the NFC East, so

835
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: you get three playoff teams in Washington's feisty and they

836
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 1: played the AFC North, so you're getting the Steelers, the Ravens,

837
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the Browns, even if they're not a playoff team,

838
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. And then obviously what team

839
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals, So I mean, he's got a really, really

840
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: good ye that's a lot. That's a tough schedule.

841
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: So I came out and said I had a very

842
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: good sol or so did Jason McIntyre. That we heard

843
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: the Rams tried to restructure the Matt Stafford contact contract.

844
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: I was shocked when a member of the executive team

845
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: for the Rams came out and made a point of

846
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 2: Times La Times article saying this is not true. These

847
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 2: reported taking a shot at me. Two days later, Matt

848
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: Stafford announces, Yeah, we tried to restructure my deal in

849
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: the off season. The Rams are trying to fool us.

850
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 2: They had discussions, they wanted to restructure the deal, they

851
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 2: couldn't and had to move off people. They like Matt.

852
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 2: But Bucky Brooks told me yesterday and I've heard this,

853
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 2: if Matt gets banged up, they're drafting a quarterback with

854
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: a first pick. They know how good this draft is.

855
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: They look three years ahead of time, and the feeling

856
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 2: is this is the best draft in a four year window.

857
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: The best quarterback draft next year. Last year wasn't good,

858
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: The following year afters not great. So you get about

859
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: two great quarterback drafts every decade. Like four first round

860
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: guys next year is that draft. And there's a belief

861
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: even if Stafford plays pretty well and they're like a

862
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 2: seven to eight win team, they'll be four guys. They'll

863
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: be able to get a Quinn yours, a Michael Pennix

864
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 2: junior at like twelve or thirteen or fifteen in the draft.

865
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: So I think the Rams. You know, if you go

866
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: like and look at Kansas City last year, they had

867
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: a star offensive coach, a star quarterback, a good enough

868
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: O line, one star weapon, great defensive player, good linebacker,

869
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 2: and kids everywhere. That's a little Rams Ish Ernest Jones,

870
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, Cooper Cup, Matt Stafford. The difference, is h McVeigh,

871
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: is that the Chiefs players are all in their prime,

872
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 2: and to your point, the Rams star players are all

873
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 2: coming off injuries. So I do think their margins are thin.

874
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 2: I'm just fascinated to watch Matt Stafford because he took

875
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: a lot of hits in Detroit. He just rented a

876
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 2: gorgeous house on the beach in Los Angeles, and the

877
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: feeling is last year to in LA. He wants to

878
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: have some fun. He knows it's not going to last forever.

879
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: Can I Sometimes it's unfair, right when a social clip

880
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: comes out of your show. I didn't see the whole take,

881
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: but you've had you nailed the Baker Mayfield thing from

882
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: the start. You had to take. He's in part of

883
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: probably the most irrelevant quarterback competition in the history of

884
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: the league. Right now in Papa, I mean, absolutely no

885
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: one cares. And you, I think you came out and said,

886
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, he should retire, Yeah, because he's got he's

887
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: head right to college football and be a star. I

888
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: think that's kind of crazy just because he's making four

889
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: million dollars. He wouldn't make four million dollars put away

890
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: on TV. And he's got a chance if he can

891
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: do this for a couple more years. But clearly he's

892
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: headed toward and overall, and think about college football. I

893
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: never saw Kirkhurbstreet throw pass. I don't remember a class pass.

894
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: And Matt Lioner, who I think is really good, obviously

895
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: had a very very you know, underwhelming NFL career right

896
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: for his college status, I think Baker. But clearly Baker's

897
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: career is headed nowhere fast. In this Tampa team, I mean,

898
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: they're definitely circling the Caleb wagons, right. They want a

899
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: big part of that. It's I aunsw theer's twofold. Were

900
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: you being dead serious on that? The retirement? And two

901
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: have you ever nailed to take harder than because I

902
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: think the Johnny Manziel a lot of people Baker was

903
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: a guy number one overall. Yeah, I was wrong because

904
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: I thought it really taught me over the last couple

905
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: of years. I thought he could be Drew Brees. Well,

906
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: a huge part of Drew Brees was the character and

907
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: the intangibles. And look at all the star quarterbacks. Now,

908
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: the intangibles are have to be off the charts even

909
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: for the average guys. We'll let alone the stars.

910
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 2: Well, you know, first of all, NFL scouts liked Sam

911
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 2: Darnold too, so I missed on Donald. I think Johnny

912
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: Manziel I kneeled, Baker, I kneeled. I didn't like Zach

913
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 2: Wilson at all. I said he was going to be

914
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 2: a boss, so he didn't. But I like Sam Darnold,

915
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 2: and I still think if Donald got competent coaching and

916
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 2: started in San Francisco, he could be a playoff quarterback.

917
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 2: But he does have a slower delivery and he tends

918
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: to be a hero ball quarterback. He wasn't usc and

919
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 2: he's not that athletic. He's athletic, he's not Josh. He's

920
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 2: like a poor man's Josh Allen. Athletically, he's big strong,

921
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 2: He's not that big and strong. I was being serious.

922
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 2: My takeaway is there are people that aren't built to

923
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 2: be backups. Cam Newton, Baker, Mayfield, Tim Tebow. They're too big,

924
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 2: too many commercials, they're too big. You want Colt McCoy,

925
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 2: you want Tyrod Taylor. Baker is too big to be

926
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 2: a backup. So if he loses to Kyle Trask, he's

927
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 2: still got a chip on his shoulder a mile long.

928
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 2: Last week, he was quoted saying in front of a camera,

929
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't need anybody to tell me how to play quarterback.

930
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 2: It's who he is. So he's too big of a personality,

931
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 2: too much edge to be a backup.

932
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 5: Right.

933
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 2: I always said a backup quarterback should be able to

934
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 2: put a baseball hat on in the mall and dark

935
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: sunglasses and be unnoticeable. Colt McCoy, melt tbo can't do that.

936
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 2: Cam can't do that, and Baker can't do that. Secondly,

937
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 2: he's making four million a year, but to be a

938
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 2: top analyst at a football network you'd make about two

939
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 2: two and a half. And the truth is you don't

940
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: want to become a punchline. And if Baker plays for

941
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: two or three more years and this year goes, you know,

942
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: starts and goes one to eight and gets hurt. And

943
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 2: by the way, he's led the NFL in interception since

944
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 2: he entered the league two and eight last year. If

945
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: he went owen six this year and that means he

946
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: went two and fourteen and his last sixteen NFL starts,

947
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 2: he becomes a complete utter punchline. Sam Darnold failed, Baker failed.

948
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: They're not punchlines like people still like Sam and Baker

949
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: got to a playoff. So my takeaway is protect your brand. Also,

950
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 2: money's not that big for him because he took every

951
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: available penny with all those insurance commercials. So if I

952
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: was his agent, I'd be like, dude, if you lose

953
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 2: the job to Kyle Trask, they're trying to lose privately

954
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 2: in Tampa. You get to one in five, John, they're

955
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 2: moving pieces at the trade deadline. They've got players for sure. Now, yeah,

956
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 2: they do. Arizona may not do that because if Kyler

957
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 2: Murray comes back in week six, they don't want to

958
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: bail on him and get him hurt. Right, They don't

959
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 2: want him to get hurt because even if they were

960
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 2: moving off him, hard to trade him if he's injury played.

961
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 2: If they lose their first four in Tampa. I mean

962
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: that front office. They're playing Trask. Baker couldn't beat out Trask.

963
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: They're moving pieces. Guys can get hurt. So I'm dead serious.

964
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 2: I would say, if you can't beat out Kyle, I'd retire.

965
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 2: I'd call the networks, take a year off practice, go

966
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 2: to these companies, say I want to get good at

967
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: this and go be a rock star.

968
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm in agreement on the backup quarterback. You get too famous.

969
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: I also think that happens sometimes when you're a former,

970
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: really really high pick in a short period of time. Right,

971
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson would fall under that. But Aaron is such

972
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: a star, he's already irrelevant. No one cares. That's where

973
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is kind of interesting, right, because you have

974
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy who was mister irrelevant, and even Sam Darnold's

975
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: making three million dollars. Well, Brock Perty's the starter and

976
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer. And they still got a lot

977
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: of camp left. They got some joint practices, and like

978
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: you said, the preseason games, I would imagine Trey's gonna

979
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of juice and maybe clearly he's improved

980
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: his mechanics a little bit. But threw a bad pick

981
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: today at practice. You never know. It's a fluid situation.

982
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm a believer that Sam's going to win the job

983
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: because Kyle had already had that in his mind coming

984
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: into the year. It's why they convinced Sam, who had

985
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: other opportunities to come to a place with like ten quarterbacks.

986
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 1: He didn't miss randomly come So is Trey Lance, and

987
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: it's not his fault. He makes nine million dollars, that's

988
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: his draft slot. But there can't be there's not going

989
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: to be a team in the NFL there's gonna have

990
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: a nine million dollars third string quarterback. But the forty

991
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: nine ers have had all these quarterback injuries that they

992
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: probably just roll with it. And he's a high character guy,

993
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: so they're not really worried about that. But it is

994
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: a bizarre situation for a team that, let's face it,

995
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: has kind of one goal in mind, and that's, you know,

996
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: to get to the big dance and win the thing.

997
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not Anthony Richardson's plant. They don't care

998
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: if they They're just going to try to figure it out. Right,

999
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: you see a lot of these young quarters that is

1000
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: not what the Niners are in They're in win now

1001
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: mode and win big.

1002
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 2: There are a lot of these young coaches, McVeagh and

1003
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 2: Shanahan among them. They kind of want you to do

1004
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 2: what they tell you to do, Like they both love

1005
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. McVeagh and Shanahan both love Kirk Cousins. Lamar

1006
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 2: Jackson's a great athlete. Josh Allen's a great athlete. I mean,

1007
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 2: you'd take Josh Allen. But the takeaway is a lot

1008
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: of these young coaches. Andy Reid is different. Andy Reid

1009
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: wanted Michael Vick. Andy Reid wanted Mahome. Andy wants playmakers.

1010
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: That's why he's the great coach. But a lot of

1011
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 2: these young coaches just want somebody. Bill Walsh had this

1012
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: who can simply deliver on my play call. Sean Payton's

1013
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 2: a lot like that. Russell Wilson's going to be a

1014
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 2: challenge for Sean Payton's He's done. He's trying to mold Russell.

1015
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 2: Russell would rather go Deep Breeze, didn't throw Deep Breeze

1016
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 2: was eighteen yards and in so the play design and

1017
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 2: the play golf by Sean Payton was essential. Russell will

1018
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 2: run out of the play call he'll run out of

1019
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: the play design. So that's a really interesting situation. Sean Payton, McVeigh, Shanahan.

1020
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 2: They kind of like you to do what they say.

1021
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 2: And you know, you know this, whatever gift God gives

1022
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: you a great singing voice, you're gonna use it in

1023
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: the shower, in your car, in a chorus. If God

1024
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 2: gives you a great arm, Josh Allen, you're gonna use

1025
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: it far big interceptions, name it the Big Interceptions Bradshaw

1026
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 2: and so I kind of think McVeigh. I think Stafford

1027
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 2: mostly does what Sean wants, but he drives Sean crazy

1028
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 2: with the picks ad libbing. He wasn't as athletic. I

1029
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: was told very early they established he wasn't as athlete

1030
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: as they thought. It was evident, right, but they were

1031
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 2: okay with that. So their takeaway he was kind of

1032
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 2: a physical runner, not nimble and twitchy. But I was

1033
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: told Kyle was okay with that. I don't need too

1034
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 2: much twitch. By the end of the first camp, they

1035
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 2: were like, man, we got a throwing issue. So what

1036
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 2: happens with Trey is not only isn't he athletic enough,

1037
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: but he doesn't give you the distribution excellence, so it

1038
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 2: doesn't work. Now, Darnold is a little more athletic than

1039
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: Trey can struggle with distribution. Pretty isn't that athletic great

1040
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: at distribution? So you can And they both love Kirk

1041
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: Cousins mcvah and Shanahan. So you can see the model here.

1042
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 2: A lot of these young coaches, John, you know this,

1043
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 2: you scouted. Some of these coaches want you to run

1044
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 2: their play. That's what they want. Well, see, Andy is

1045
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 2: much more it's weird offensive lineman. When you think of him,

1046
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 2: tend to be just like conservative, tough guys. He's really

1047
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 2: more of a free spe let It flow and it

1048
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: comes back. He was taught in the early eighties at

1049
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 2: the BYU program that was well ahead of its time,

1050
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: throwing the ball all the time. And then his NFL

1051
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 2: stardom came with Brett farr right, the ultimate freelance gunslinger.

1052
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: So a lot of coaches the Shanahan tree was all

1053
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 2: raised in. It's a lot of boot and play actions,

1054
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 2: dumping the ball off to a guy five feet in

1055
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 2: front of you. So I just now, eventually it's the NFL.

1056
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: You got to hurt, you have to hit a third

1057
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 2: and ten. But there is a lot of first and

1058
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 2: ten of a little flick to Debo or to Christian

1059
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 2: McCaffrey that if you put it at his feet, it's

1060
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: a disaster because that's an easy thirteen yards. And that's

1061
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 2: where I think Perty came in and immediately did that,

1062
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 2: and it was almost like they became BFFs immediately, because

1063
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: that is what he's really looking for.

1064
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 4: Right.

1065
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: Most quarterbacks in the NFL can throw the ball fifty yards, right,

1066
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: that's not the majority of the game is not deep bombs,

1067
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: And that to me is the most fascinating part about

1068
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: all this quarterback Like what makes Mahomes really special? Obviously

1069
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: he's instinctive and the physical attributes. The guy is very

1070
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: very accurate when he has to be, and he's very

1071
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: very football smart. So Andy's always said this about even

1072
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: when Tyreek Hill was on the team, is I could

1073
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: tell him to do whatever I need to do when

1074
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,080
