Okay, first 187 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: of all, understand that there's only so much you can do. 188 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: It's a guy throwing the ball and guys trying to 189 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: hit home runs, like that's what it is. There's nothing else. 190 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: It's it's a guy throwing pitches and guys trying to 191 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: hit home runs like That's what it is the only 192 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: thing I can say. 193 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: And I'm being realistic now. 194 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: You're talking about Okay, I not to fix it, but 195 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: the event is a little long. 196 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: But I understand that. 197 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: But the first few, the first round, the matchups are 198 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: just way too long. There's too many pitches, there's too 199 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: many swings, and then you have the extra pitches that 200 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: you earn, like there's just two, like like three minutes 201 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: to hit in the beginning too. It's just too long, right, 202 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: And to get through all the first round matchups, it 203 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: feels like it takes forever. You're like, okay, and the 204 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: next matchup coming up here, it's a you know, we 205 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: have only three more matchups in round one. 206 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: It's like, oh my, come on, man, you have more matchups. 207 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: So they're a little too long because there's not a 208 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: lot going on other than these guys swinging, you know, 209 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: hitting dingers like if you wanted them. 210 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: It feels like you're making fun of Jazz Chisholm. 211 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: You just, hey, Jazz Chisholm is a volume swinger, all right. 212 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: He is a volumes not volume home run hitter, because 213 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: volume runner would be hey, he gets like one hundred 214 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: and fifty pitches to hit twenty five home runs. No, 215 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: he's a volume swinger because he was forty pitches for 216 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: four home runs. He is a volume swinger. Okay, that's 217 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: what That's what Jazz Chisholm is. But like, just to 218 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: make it move a little bit fast, that's all I 219 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: asked for it. 220 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: It's not anything. Oh look, what would you do? How 221 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: would you fix it? Now? 222 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: The only thing is it is just a little slow 223 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: in this bit of front. Once you get into the 224 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: semi five of five. Okay, great, yeah, that's awesome. Okay, 225 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: that's fine. But the first round, because you're getting all 226 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: these stories and then here's who this kid is, and 227 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: then here's who this guy is in a story, and 228 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: it's just it's just too long. And again I'm talking 229 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: about something three minutes that's just too long. You know, 230 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: that's what she said. Three minutes is just too long. 231 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: I was watching the Office before I came in tonight, 232 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: and she's watching it. It's just okay, that's the only 233 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 1: thing I feel like. Okay, the first round kind of 234 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: drags a little bit, right, so you can find something 235 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: where hey, instead of instead of this, you're gonna get 236 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: ten swings or but you want to see a volume 237 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: home run, so I get, but just just juice it 238 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: a little bit so it's not quite as slow in 239 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: the first round. 240 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it takes. 241 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 4: Guys a little bit of that time to warm up 242 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: and get into a groove and then and then it 243 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: starts to flow right, And obviously when we get to 244 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 4: the later rounds, you worry about fatigue and have you 245 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 4: swung yourself out like you're a prize fighter. So I 246 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: understand a little bit of that, but but all in 247 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: it's you know, you get get what you signed up for. 248 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: Everybody swinging for the downs. 249 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: Well, it's really an emblematic of the Major League Baseball 250 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 4: game that we have now right, three outcomes and occasionally 251 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 4: your dad hits you with a pitch, but it's the 252 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 4: just the idea of for the timing and moving it along, 253 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: Like if you're into it, you're you're in right. Like 254 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 4: to me, I'm only moderately intrigued when I don't have 255 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: the sound of a A Burman background, which I have 256 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 4: you sitting with me in studio. 257 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: Back back back back back, brack, so I. 258 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: Fill it in. 259 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, But but in general, it's like it's an event 260 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 4: that was never you know, my my favorite.

All right, So this gives 366 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: us a chance to get to all the big NFL 367 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: stuff right Like last week everybody's on vacation and joined 368 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: the end of stuff. 369 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: But now this week we got some stuff happening. 370 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: Uh, and clearly the best wide receiver in the history 371 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: of the NFL finally gets paid. Today Garrett Wilson signs 372 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: that four year, one hundred and thirty million dollar contract 373 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: extension with the Jets. Now I had to be serious, Jane, 374 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: He's like, this is a guy. Now I kind of 375 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: feel like, to be honest, he's like the the modern 376 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: day Tim Brown, a guy that somehow has put up 377 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: numbers that he has. 378 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 7: The last year, no quarterback with. 379 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: Noball at all different quarterbacks, like six quarterbacks so far 380 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: as first three years. Like he's probably the most underrated 381 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. 382 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to think about it. But yeah, and look, 383 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 7: it's going to be probably a little bit of a 384 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 7: chore this year. And if you'd be doing a fair 385 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 7: amount of blocking this year, because you got a defensive 386 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 7: mind and head coaching there who I think will be 387 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 7: able to get the defense playing maybe a playoff caliber defense. 388 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 7: And so what's gonna want. He's gonna want ball control, 389 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 7: He's gonna want keep it simple, stupid. He's gonna want 390 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 7: justin fields, managing the game a certain way. That's not 391 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 7: to say that there won't be big play action shots 392 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 7: to take, et cetera. But I don't think it's going 393 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 7: to be a huge volume passing game for them. But yeah, 394 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 7: I kind of like the Jets more this year than 395 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 7: I have in a while. Like I've I've played some 396 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 7: bets in that division, like them finished in the second, 397 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 7: you know, like an exact order or you can get 398 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 7: some pretty good I mean, I want to say it. 399 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 7: I got it cost sixty eighty five Buffalo, the Jets, 400 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 7: the Patriots in Miami in that order, and even just 401 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 7: for one to two, you know, order finish Buffalo and 402 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 7: the Jets. It can get you a pretty good payoff. 403 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 7: Like I kind of think they're in a good spot 404 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 7: this year for the first time in a long time. 405 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 4: Look at that Quinella and the exactly is I mean, 406 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 4: I'll be on after I'm always at the point for 407 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 4: the Jets when there's expectations. 408 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm nervous when there's no expectations. Great Jets have never 409 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: been able to handle success in the fifty years I've 410 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: been rooting for them, So that's kind of what it is. 411 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 7: No, look, I think, I mean to how much talented 412 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 7: Pittsburgh had last year and they were four and two 413 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 7: with this kid as the quarterback, and I know people 414 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 7: want to slag him and write them off, But like 415 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 7: over five and a half rushing touchdowns, yeah I'm there, 416 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 7: Over five hundred and fifty rushing yards, yeah I'm there, 417 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 7: and again win totals like not everyone needs to be 418 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 7: evaluated the same way. This is an old school quarterback 419 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 7: in a lot of ways, right, I mean, it's it's 420 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 7: it's about canny limit turnovers. Can they win games? Can 421 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 7: he be an effective runner? Can he help them finish 422 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 7: drives with his legs? You know? Can they be smart 423 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 7: about what they asked him to do in the red zone? 424 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 7: And I felt like the red zone rushing attack in 425 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 7: Pittsburgh was really going to get stride right when they 426 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 7: decided to make the switch. So I think, like, I 427 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 7: think they're an interesting team. I think they're gonna you know, like, 428 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 7: did they go nine to eight? I don't know. I 429 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 7: don't think that's out of all possibility at all. 430 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 4: Look at that we're getting above five hundred ball from 431 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 4: the Jets to new era and Smith will start wearing 432 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 4: Jet stuff tomorrow. 433 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 3: Since you said that, mister locking for right. 434 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 4: Anytime there's a headline to a story that says I 435 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 4: think that's blank, I'm going to click on it. Nick Sirianni, 436 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 4: responding to comments about Jalen Hurts kind of just being 437 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 4: dragged a long in the championship run lower completion, number 438 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 4: of completions. 439 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 3: No, lower passing. 440 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 4: You know, when you got a guy it runs for 441 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 4: two thousand yards, you kind of go to balance and definition. 442 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 3: Do you think Hurts gets dismissed. 443 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: Too much and too much credit given to everybody else 444 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 4: for his acumen on running the tush push and everything else. 445 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 6: Uh? 446 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he's a pretty damn good quarterback. They 447 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 7: look they've found a meeting of the mind there where 448 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 7: they've they've gone through a couple of different iterations of 449 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 7: sort of evolving or devolving as an offense or whatever 450 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 7: you want to call it, and they know what works 451 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 7: for them, and they know what fits and he fits, 452 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 7: and I think they probably throw the ball a little 453 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 7: bit more this year. You know, I don't think Say 454 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 7: Kwon is going to go off as quite like he 455 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 7: did last year, and they've got plenty of guys you 456 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 7: can catch them off. 457 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 6: I think catches more balls this year. 458 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 7: Ba's a really good football team, a really good offensive line, 459 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 7: and they can do certain things in this league that 460 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 7: are pretty much unstoppable. And as you want to quibble about, 461 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 7: you know, is it just braw on how much you 462 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 7: know Paul is involved in calling a touch, push this 463 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 7: or that. I don't see any other teams doing it 464 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 7: as effective as them. I mean, that's it's almost like 465 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 7: a one efficacy play. Those those don't exist in modern football, 466 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 7: and they've got one. They've got one to the point 467 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 7: where people were bitching and moaning and trying to take 468 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 7: it away. Dalen Hurts has been through quite a bit 469 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 7: in a short career, and he's only a couple of 470 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 7: plays away from having two rings to his credit already 471 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 7: in an era that I think we're going to look 472 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 7: back on it like we did the sort of Brady 473 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 7: Mahomes era and say, boy, there were only a few 474 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 7: other guys who got there bright at the Apple. You know. 475 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 7: Roethlisberger got a couple, Flaco got a couple. Rlsell Wilson 476 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 7: got one. Like we're back there again with this whole 477 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 7: sort of Mahomet And I mean for him to have 478 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 7: played that well in that Super Bowl as Mahomes floundered, 479 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 7: and I get it he had the better defense on 480 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 7: his side Hurts did, but I get where Sirianni's con. 481 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: Of them, jam, I look at that. 482 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: Just look at the Super Bowl's one of the best 483 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: played Super Bowls a quarterback has ever had, got efficiency 484 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: in production, the game was over at halftime. 485 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 3: He was phenomenal. 486 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I got the Kansas City defense that has been 487 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 6: pretty damn good and the strength of that football team 488 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 6: for a big part of the season as they tried 489 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 6: to reconfigure their offensive line and without their number one 490 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 6: wide receiver. 491 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 7: And with Kelsey and a down year, the defense, you know, 492 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 7: and with their number one back hurt a lot of 493 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 7: the year and defense carried them. And he absolutely obliterated 494 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 7: that defense. You don't see people do that despag in 495 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 7: a money game like that. So yeah, look, there's some 496 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 7: narratives in this league that just aren't just about football, 497 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 7: and they seemingly will never die, and people will wanting 498 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 7: to the little or break or say that certain stalling 499 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 7: solid quarterback is less than it's asinine. But it's it's 500 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 7: still here at least to some degree. 501 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 4: Now, it seemed like everything was getting moved out and 502 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 4: we were getting back to business in San Francisco, ust 503 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 4: Jack saying, hey, Christian McCaffrey's back. I know Juwan Jennings says, 504 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 4: I want more money, I want to rework or I 505 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 4: want to trade. 506 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 3: Boy. It was nice and quiet for a little while. 507 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's tough, man. You know that there's a window 508 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 7: closing there and they're just not They hadn't been too 509 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 7: nice to make it very realistic about it. And it's 510 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 7: got nothing to do with the quarterback. It's all these 511 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 7: other ancilet personnel decisions. I look, I've bet them to 512 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 7: miss the playoffs. I stated them heavy last year and 513 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 7: it helped my bank account, and I'm kind of back 514 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 7: there with them again again this year. I think the 515 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 7: NFC as a whole will be better. I think that 516 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 7: the team that doesn't run roughs out over that division anymore. 517 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 7: Sanahan doesn't have this magic a lixer over Nick they anymore. 518 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 7: And you know, Seattle won ten games last year with 519 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 7: a rookie coach and without touching the roster. It was 520 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 7: Pete Terrell's roster, right. They just took the year to 521 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 7: sort of evaluate and see what they had, and now 522 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 7: they've upgraded. So you know, I don't know about the 523 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 7: Sam Darneld thing, how that's going to work out, But 524 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 7: you know, the geno thing worked out a hole lot 525 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 7: there than anybody could have hoped for. So I don't 526 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 7: know that they're not Champans, just for the third best 527 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 7: team in that division. I don't like the secondary, and 528 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 7: the pass rush has been very sort of dependent on 529 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 7: an individual or two. And you know, the younger Bosas 530 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 7: reaching about the stage of his career where a big 531 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 7: brother fell off a cliff and didn't really play football 532 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 7: that much anymore. I don't like the offensive line, doesn't. 533 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 3: Like the last year. 534 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 7: I'm old enough to remember that running back pretty much 535 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 7: his entire career prior to the last couple of years, 536 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 7: always missing it chunks of time. So no, I have 537 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 7: major reservations about them all the way around. 538 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, sitting at ten and a half wins. 539 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: Jay with that, sitting at ten and a half wins. 540 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 4: I think it's bolstered by the fact that they play 541 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 4: the AFC South. 542 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, mischeduled about to say the schedule. I know the 543 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 7: schedule on paper looks like it's in their favor scenario 544 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 7: where they're not in the postseason, and that they're going 545 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 7: to have to threat a real needle from the health 546 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 7: standpoint because it's it's a top laden roster, and it's 547 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 7: not not nearly as many of those guys are in 548 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 7: their prime now as they were three four years ago. 549 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: All Right, So lastly, Jay, you take you out kind 550 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: of outside the NFL, but kind of coming back a bit. 551 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: We had a bit of a story today that potentially 552 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: Nick Saban could be looking to get back into football. 553 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: Greg mceilroy saying, hey, someoney trusts he talks to, Saban 554 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: could be trying to find his way back in. Is 555 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: there any way Saban? Hey, look, I'm done with the 556 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: college game. I just can't stand everything. With ANIL transfer 557 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: and an NFL job pops open he could get. 558 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 7: I mean, I I love the age thing could work 559 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 7: against him a little bit like he did with certainly 560 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 7: Belicheck there, but this guy's career speaks for itself. And 561 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 7: if he feels like the college game has become the program, 562 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 7: and if that is part of why he got out, 563 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 7: and yeah, I mean, can you turn an NFL team 564 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 7: around in three years? I mean, look at Pete Carroll 565 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 7: right now. I mean how long is he going to 566 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 7: be in Vegas? And that's you know, starting from pretty 567 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 7: low and he got an opportunity. So I mean, you 568 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 7: have to be the right fit, the right owner of 569 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 7: the right scenario. But what six to eight of these 570 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 7: jobs open every year, and you're telling me that if 571 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 7: he wants to get back in in January, that there's 572 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 7: going to be six to eight guys more qualified than him. Yeah, 573 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 7: I mean, I have no idea to the veracity of that. 574 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 7: I know Greg a little bit. I mean he's obviously 575 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 7: he knows that for a plug. 576 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 6: In there and. 577 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 7: If that's accurate, said he wants to listen. You know, 578 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 7: he wants to talk to NFL teams. I think there's 579 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 7: a week several owners who want to listen. 580 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: Follow on Twitter at Jason lock and for that is 581 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: at Jason lock and for Odyssey one oh five seven 582 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 1: the fan Washington Post.

I mean, I look, it's not 588 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: just me being Jets fan. He's the most underrated wide 589 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: receiver in the game. He's kind of like a like 590 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: a like a combination of Keyshawn Johnson and Tim Brown. 591 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: Keyshawn in which he can do anything on the field. 592 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: He can he's a red zone threat, he goes over 593 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: the middle, he can test balls, he's got great body control, 594 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: Like he's a receiver that can do it at any 595 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: part of the field. And from that's from Keyshawn. But 596 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: the Tim Brown thing, I mean, look the guys that 597 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: he's been catching passes from the last three years, Zach Wilson, 598 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: Mike White, Joe Flacco, Trevor Simmy, and Tim Boyle, Aaron Rodgers. 599 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: Like this is the gamut from Hey, guys who we 600 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: thought were really really good and are still okay, to 601 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: guys that are absolutely terrible. And still this is a 602 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: guy that every year more receptions hundred reci and and 603 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: split the gig with DeVante Adams when he finally got 604 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: there last year because he was Aaron Rodgers guy still 605 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: get to one hundred catches. Like his three years in 606 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: the NFL with looking what he's been playing with has 607 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: been incredibly impressive, Like Tim Brown, all those quarterbacks he 608 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: played with the Raiders, and now he's got his guy 609 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: from college that hey comfortable with.

Every day 784 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: there's new evidence that tells you how bad the relationship 785 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: is between Lebron James and the Lakers right to go 786 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: over everything. Since the acquisition of Luka Doncic, Lebron has 787 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: been out of the mix. He's been in the outer circle. 788 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: He's not in the circle of trust. Greg, You are 789 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: outside of the circle of trust they're building around Luca 790 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: and Lebron James is someone who they are daring him 791 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: to ask for a trade. Everything they do, they are 792 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: daring him to ask for a trade. And now what 793 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: did we get this weekend? 794 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 7: Right? 795 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: More ratcheting this up to get to a point where 796 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: each side it's like they're the Old West and waiting 797 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: to draw on each other, like someone's gonna we're gonna draw, 798 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna draw. Four teams apparently have called the Lakers 799 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: about or called sorry, sorry calla called Rich Paul about 800 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: getting Lebron James, which again, both sides are ratcheting things 801 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 1: up because Lebron doesn't want to ask for a trade. 802 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: The Lakers don't want to say we're going to trade you. 803 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: The Lakers want Lebron to ask for a trade, and 804 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: Lebron wants the Lakers to say, Okay, let's figure something 805 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: out where you can get you where you want to go, 806 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: which again, Cleveland, it's the only place. So four teams 807 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: apparently have called Rich Paul about about getting Lebron James 808 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: and when Lebron was at Vegue was in Vegas this 809 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: weekend taking in some of the summer league action. Dave McManamon, 810 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 1: long time basketball insider, asked to said he asked Lebron 811 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,439 Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes, you want to talk about 812 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: your future with the franchise, and Lebron responded with I 813 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: ain't got nothing to talk about. Then Dave mcmadhamon had 814 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: this bit on ESPN over the weekend. So again, I 815 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: want to say this for everybody who thinks Lebron's not 816 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: getting traded because it's too difficult. One, you can always 817 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: make the money work. It may take a bunch of teams, 818 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: that may take ten teams. You can make they work, 819 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: especially if the players are out there. But the bigger 820 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: thing is this, can Lebron really come back and play 821 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: for the Lakers after all that's going on. Lebron is 822 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: an alpha male of the highest priority. He's not a 823 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: guy that well, I'm okay with coming back and I'll 824 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: figure things out. I'll play this year, roun I'll go. 825 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: He is the straw that stirs the drink. He has 826 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: been this way in the NBA for twenty years. Is 827 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: he really an alpha like Lebron gonna come back and 828 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: be an ancillary part or not so much that you're 829 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: not the focus, but we're gonna we're gonna beat you 830 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: over the head with the fact that you are not 831 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: the focus of this team. Can he really come back 832 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: and play for the Lakers? After all this is going on? 833 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: This is why a trade can happen any day. I 834 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: can see a trade any day for Lebron James. 835 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 6: Yeah. 836 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 4: I mean the Cleveland thing is curious because they are 837 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 4: in the second apron so that they can't aggregate salaries 838 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 4: to make a deal. 839 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: I'll just add the fourth apron so he starts the 840 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: new rules make that difficult for them. The buyout process 841 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: would be great. Lakers say, uh, yeah, you're gonna take 842 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: We're not paying anything and get You can make the 843 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: money work. You can make the money work by by 844 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: adding other teams that you can make it work for Mobile, 845 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: you can make it work for Darius Garland. You can 846 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: make but it's a decision of whether you want to 847 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: excize them from your squad after what you've built. 848 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 3: But to that point, you're in the second aproncy can't aggregate. 849 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 4: Uh so that makes the trade far part with the 850 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 4: the caval Cavaliers at least a little more difficult. Now 851 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 4: when when we look at the no comment, I just 852 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 4: took it as that I'm here, I don't I don't 853 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 4: really want to get into this, right. 854 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: He could come out and say anything he wanted to. 855 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: Lebron doesn't want publicity come out, but he gets more 856 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: publicity by not He could have said anything. He could 857 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: have come out and said anything and said he said none, 858 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 1: I got, I got, I got nothing to talk about. 859 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 3: That's not but that's the statement without making a statement deal. 860 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 3: That's mean. 861 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: He could have just said I'm sorry, I don't really 862 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: want to do it tonight, okay, instead saying I got 863 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: nothing to talk about because he knows Dave mcmanhamon is 864 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: going to report it. 865 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 3: That way and he's gonna get him out. 866 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 2: But he's like, what does sound. 867 00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 3: Guys? 868 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: But the that's exactly why he wants to get this 869 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: out there. And that whole four team thing with Rich 870 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,280 Speaker 1: Paul wretching things. I want to see the league actually 871 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: do something for crying out loud Rich Paul a couple 872 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: of weeks ago with the draft, manipulated the draft, and 873 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: we had video and audio evidence, and now a damn 874 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: thing was said by the spineless commissioner, Adam silver High 875 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: Commission and now this at least four teams like, no, 876 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: they've got to contact the Lakers. 877 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 6: Jmore. 878 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 4: Maybe out in lay Town riding on a jet ski, 879 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 4: but he still matters damn it. 880 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: He'd be the guy that would make the trade too. 881 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,959 Speaker 1: Oh hey, Geenie, by the way, I made a trade. 882 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: I traded Lebron.
