00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: The volume What is going On Everybody? John Middlekoff three

2
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: and out podcast, Happy Friday, potentially Happy Saturday. Uh, we

3
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: made it through the week, and we made it through

4
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game. Brown's um. You know, I wouldn't

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: say squeak out. I thought they took it to him.

6
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: You know. The Broncos got a late touchdown to make

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: it seventeen fourteen, but uh not not nice win by

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: the Brownies. Kevin Stefanski, no Baker Mayfield, no Nick Chubb.

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Um impressive. The Ernest Johnson goes nuts. We'll dive into

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: that game and some thoughts off the top Miami Deshaun

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Watson to Tonka by Lowa, We're gonna die. I got

12
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: got some takes there. Aaron Rodgers feels like all's happy

13
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: in Green Bay as it should be there. Five and one,

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: uh l s U have some have some thoughts on

15
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: their coaching search, and then we'll hit on a couple

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: of games, and of course Stucky makes uh makes his

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: three picks at the end of the show, but also

Speaker 1: if you could. Middlecoff Mailbag at John Middlecoff is the

20
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Instagram slide up in those d m s and get

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: your question answered here on the show. I think there

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: were seven or not seven, but several, you know, overarching

23
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: takeaways from this Thursday night game. First and foremost with

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: the Browns, the scheme Kevin Stefanski operates under Shanahan McVeigh Lafleur.

25
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: It is very quarterback friendly. And when you can run

26
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: the ball like the Brownies did today with a guy

27
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that I had never heard of, the Ernest Johnson, who

28
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I just went to his Wikipedia page before I fired

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: us up. I didn't have the volume on with Troy

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: and Joe. He was in the a a F two

31
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: years ago, played for the Orlando team. You can find

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: running backs. It's why we always talk about the draft.

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: There is a huge component to value. You don't take,

34
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: say Kwon Barkley number two. Overall. I don't even like

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: taking running backs in the first round. And I love

36
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Naja Harris. I love Josh Jacobs to meet earliest. I

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: would take him in the second. Ideally, you can find

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: guys in the third, fourth, fifth, six undrafted free agents,

39
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: find guys in the a F. Especially in this scheme.

40
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: You don't like that guy couldn't make anyone miss he's

41
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: a straight line guy. Now, he could stop and started.

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: He had good feet. But if you can get downhill

43
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: in this scheme, you can run for a hundred yards.

44
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean he just pretty easily. He averaged six point

45
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: six yards to carry in Case Keenum. Like, let's face it, listen,

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: I know calling kind of trolls, kind of messes, but

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: he's also kind of being serious. The issue with Baker

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield now is is he better than Case Keenum. Yes,

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: he's a better player than Case him though Case is

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Back up, The problem with Baker Mayfield is,

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, in a perfect world he's like an eighteen

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: million dollar quarterback where the top guys make forty five.

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: But he's gonna want thirty five forty. You can't pay

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: him that. And listen, he's injured. That's not his fault.

55
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: I think Baker is tough. He's actually a lot better

56
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: than I thought he was gonna be a couple of

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: years ago. But I think he benefits a lot from

58
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: this coach who you know, had success with Case Keenum.

59
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: I know technically he wasn't the play caller. Obviously, his

60
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: year with Kirk Cousins. Kirk was awesome. You're gonna have

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: success in this offense. So I think if you're this team.

62
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: As these games moved forward, there were some reports about

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Baker in the labor room. It's not gonna get better.

64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna need offseason surgery. You're gonna have to do

65
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: a lot of deep thinking and deep analytical DRW dives

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: on who else we could get, what's the value, how

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: much they want. Luckily, that's the way the Browns think

68
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: they have an IVY League level GM, the head coach

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: and Ivy League guy like they're smart. I actually like

70
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and I might have been wrong. Dak clearly

71
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: looks like he's worth forty million dollars a year. I

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: didn't love paying him that, even though, like I said,

73
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: it looks like he's probably you know, I still think,

74
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, thirty four thirty five million, But you know,

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: we're pinching pennies, right Well, what are we really talking about?

76
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: If he's gonna play at an m v P level.

77
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Baker doesn't have that in the bag. He just doesn't,

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: especially in an offense that's not unlike Dak. Like Dak

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: wants to carry you throwing the ball. Baker's offense is

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: always gonna be predicated on the run game. And really,

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: as long as Myles Garrett, they're playing defense. So I

82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: think it's night likes tonight where you go, you know,

83
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: just ride it out, you know, help maybe you this offseason. Now,

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I wouldn't want Case to

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: be my full time starter, But these guys are running studies.

86
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: They are seeing like, can you get someone a little baseball,

87
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, platoon? Can I get some of Baker for

88
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: five million dollars when someone you know trade him to

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Washington football team or held Denver Broncos, make someone pay him?

90
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Because I you know, I I struggle with that one.

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not some Baker Mayfield hat by any means.

92
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: But as you see in this offense with a running back, then,

93
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: let's face it, most of us had never heard of

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: just goes nuts because that's what the Shanahan family has

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: been doing forever. Mcveigh's doing that. Now look at what

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: the floor is done with the running game. There it works.

97
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Stefanski is a really good coach. And on the flip side,

98
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: when you you can get by with any starter out

99
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a game and you can win

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: that game, whether it's Khalil Mack or Joey Bosa, whether

101
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: it's Ray Lewis and Reid, whether it's Peyton Manning or

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. That backup can help win you a game

103
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: whoever that player is. And you can get by without

104
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players and all pro a Pro

105
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Bowl level player. But the more and more the games

106
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: go right, I can win a game with a backup

107
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: for a game, regardless of an opponent. The guys an

108
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: NFL player, if he's tough, if he's coached up, if

109
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: he's a skilled player, even if there's a big drop off,

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I can win one game, especially if I'm a good coach.

111
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I can scheme plays, I can figure it out. But

112
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: if I'm a backup and I have to start for

113
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: a month, for two months, for an entire season, I

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: will get exposed. It's just it's just a reality of

115
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: the highest level of sports. And Teddy Bridgewater, I have

116
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: nothing but admiration for the person, for what he's overcome,

117
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that knee injury at practice and everything he stands for.

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: I would want Teddy Bridgewater on my team as the backup.

119
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: He's not a starter, he just isn't. And the more

120
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: he has to play, the more he gets exposed. Just

121
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: like any player in the NFL, if they had to

122
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: start when they're not a starter for a month, for

123
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: five games, for eight games, for ten games, they're gonna

124
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: get exposed. Their weaknesses are gonna come to light because

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: these opposing coaches coordinators make millions of dollars. Defensive coordinators

126
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, all thirty two of them make seven

127
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: figures every single one, and they spent an ungodly amount

128
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: of time in the field. And these players on defense,

129
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: at even average defenses, have a couple of guys that

130
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: can make you pay. Teddy doesn't have a great arm.

131
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: He's just not a great player. But if he has

132
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: to fill in for two weeks like he did on

133
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: the Saints, or three or four weeks, you can get by.

134
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: But when you start a weekend week out on an

135
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: average team, you get exposed. And that's what's happening. And ultimately,

136
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, we've seen in recent memory, right, Bruce arians

137
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: did not get a head coaching job until he was

138
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: sixty years old, and for the last decade he's been

139
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: one of the best head coaches in the league. And

140
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: I think we look back and we go. God b

141
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: A should have been a head coach in the NFL

142
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years. Mike Zimmer didn't get a

143
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: head coaching job until later in his career. He was

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: a really good head coach. I don't know if he's

145
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs this year, but went to the

146
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: playoffs countless time. Even a Vikings fan kid admit Mike

147
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Zimmer was salid and some old guys, right, there were

148
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: great coordinators because Vic Fangioe is a great coordinator. Coaches

149
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL offensive coach coaches I think two years ago, oh,

150
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: in a poll you know said he was the best

151
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in the league. He's not a head coach. Now,

152
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: would you have succeeded if he would have had a

153
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: better quarterback? Maybe, But I think when you see his temperament,

154
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: you see his inability to do anything on offense, and

155
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: I think he probably tries to influence that area and

156
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: then the defense gets worse. It's just part of it.

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: It's just a reality. Like some guys are just meant

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: to be number two's, and luckily in the NFL, being

159
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: a number two pays at Vic Fangio's level, three. Someone

160
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: will pay him three and a half million dollars to

161
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: be their defensive coordinator next year. But he's not gonna

162
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: be the Broncos head coach. They will have a new

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: head coach next year. And and Von Miller, I put

164
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of money on the Super Bowl that they

165
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: played the Carolina Panthers, and he was a Super Bowl MVP.

166
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: I was there, uh, and he was a huge reason

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: that I want a lot of cash that night. I

168
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: used to when I worked for the Raiders. Post game,

169
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: I probably saw him play, you know, three or four

170
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: straight years live in the peak of his powers. He's

171
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: as good as there's ever been as a as a speed,

172
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: edge rusher, special player. And I know he got banged

173
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: up tonight, but he made some comments this week, and

174
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't blame him because just like Muhammad Ali would

175
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: at the end of his run, just like you know,

176
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, Kobe Bryant at the last year of his career,

177
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: you still in your mind operate like you're an all

178
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: time great, because you've been at all time great your

179
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: whole life. But it's probably even though it's over, but

180
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: your your mind doesn't tell your body that even though

181
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: your body it's done because your mind still thinks it

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: has it, because your mind has never been stronger, but

183
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: your body no longer has it. And that's what von

184
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: Miller is said. He was gonna have a bunch of

185
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: sacks tonight. He said he was gonna take over in

186
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: his mind. He's still that guy. He still has in him.

187
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: He still probably works as hard. He's just locked in

188
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: his film study. His body doesn't equal that anymore. Like

189
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett doesn't need to say that he can just

190
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: kick everyone's ass because his body is an unstoppable force

191
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: like Vans used to be. But it's over, and it's

192
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: just the sad reality in the sport of football is

193
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: for I was like, von Miller is not like Bon's

194
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: forty years old, right, He's probably two years old. But

195
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: it's over. He's had a major injury. He's no longer

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the same. His quickness is explosion. It's just not quite there.

197
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: He's just not a dominant player anymore. And sad to see.

198
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: And that also goes back to Vic Fangio the Bronco.

199
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: They're just not as good like they're They pay him

200
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot of money to being a leade player and

201
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: he's just not you know, when when you have a

202
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: backup quarterback and you're starting quarterback and your team is

203
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: already a little flawed, that's what you get. Like the

204
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Browns just right now with a better roster even with

205
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: their injuries, and a coach who can have more of

206
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: an impact because his running scheme, Like it's hard to

207
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: be a defensive coordinator being the head coach, Like it's

208
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: just not really working. It's not working for Zimmer either.

209
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: That's why I'd always hire an offensive coach. I used

210
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: to Fan Sky, you know, it's like, I know the

211
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: final score, seventeen and four team, but let's face it,

212
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: the game I watched wasn't really that close. So Teddy Bridgewater,

213
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think next year he'll find back to

214
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: where he should be as a backup. And I think

215
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland will just ask themselves moving forward, what the hell

216
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: do we do with Baker Mayfield. FANDUL Sports Book wants

244
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: the week. The Miami Dolphins are prepared to trade for

245
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson in to a Tongua Valoa might be shipped

246
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: somewhere else Washington Football Team, Denver. Who knows, uh, A

247
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: lot of different angles here. Let's just start. Let's rewind

248
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: eighteen months. Everyone thought that the Dolphins and basically everyone

249
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: or the majority of people in the media, the pundits

250
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: to talk about the draft. To imagine a lot of

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: people in the NFL had to a rated over Justin Herbert,

252
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: that was I think consensus right, and I've said over

253
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: and over regardless what the outside noise was, it is

254
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins general manager and head coach's job to

255
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: get it right. It doesn't matter where mel keyper or

256
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah or Mike Mayock back in the day, or

257
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: what your favorite podcast host, what coward says, what another

258
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: team says. It is incumbent. It is their job to

259
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: pick the right player. And when you take a quarterback

260
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: in the top five, if you miss it, said your friend,

261
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: it said your franchise back several years. I think we

262
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: all agree and acknowledge that. But when you with on

263
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback because the following pick was another quarterback and

264
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: he becomes a superstar, then there becomes a bulls eye

265
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: on your job. That office that you have of is

266
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: no longer a stable place. Any owner worth their salt

267
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: would start questioning if you are the guy to run

268
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: the franchise. And let's face it, it's a devastating swing

269
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: and miss I'm seeing you right now. With the Golden

270
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: State Warriors, two years ago, they had the number two

271
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: overall pick. They took James Wiseman, a brittle, you know,

272
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: kind of soft big man who's a major project BBB

273
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,239
Speaker 1: and LaMelo Ball. Alonzo's brother is An is a absolute superstar.

274
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: He is going to be if he stays healthy, a

275
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: decade long All star. They missed. It's clear now Wiseman

276
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: like To can still become solid players, but they will

277
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: never ever become the guy that was drafted after them.

278
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: To on his best day could never do what Herbert's

279
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: already done, let alone what he's going to do. Then

280
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: there's the element of Deshaun Watson. And and luckily for

281
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: the Warriors they have Steph Curry on their team. The

282
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have no Steph Curry. There one in five.

283
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: I think anyone listening knows this. In any business situation,

284
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to operate out of a position of desperation.

285
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Right if you run a business, if you're in charge

286
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: of whatever you know, sector or a certain industry or

287
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: certain job, when you make decisions, you want to make them,

288
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: if not from a position of power, at least one

289
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: of neutrality, one where your backs against the wall and

290
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: you get desperate. It sucks. You typically have to overpay.

291
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: And when you have to overpay, if things go wrong,

292
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: you get screwed. I e. The housing crisis in OH seven. Right,

293
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: people were paying astronomical amounts of money for how homes.

294
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Everything flipped. They couldn't pay for the homes, and they

295
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: people were underwater all over this country on their homes.

296
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: You know, something could say some some parallels going on,

297
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: but there's clearly more money. It's not the same, but

298
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: it's happened before, and I think sometimes. Listen, you gotta

299
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: live somewhere. So when you make a home purchase, and

300
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot has happened over the last two years in

301
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: terms of home purchases and the market going scott skyrocketing,

302
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's easier to justify, like, am I

303
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: overpaying for this? Probably? But I gotta live somewhere. When

304
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: you pick a quarterback and there are other options, this

305
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: is better, it better be the right guy. And Deshaun

306
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Watson is now he's no longer just a Pro Bowl quarterback.

307
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: He's now a walking, talking, playing red flag like what

308
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: happened to him this offseason and continues to happen right

309
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: he has not played is not an ideal situation, to

310
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: put it mildly, And if you are a team in

311
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the climate in which two one, I do not think

312
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: you could pay dollar for dollar. And let's face it,

313
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: before any of these allegations came out, Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson,

314
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: and and Aaron Rodgers, the price on all those guys

315
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: was like four number ones And it didn't seem that

316
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: crazy on any of them. Rogers a little bit because

317
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: he was thirty seven years old. But it's like you

318
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: wanted to Shaun Watson, you want Russell Wilson. I'm gonna

319
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: need like three ones and three twos or four ones

320
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: and a player. It was gonna be a shipload. We're

321
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: all like, yeah, that's all you gotta pay. You know,

322
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: you wanna beach front property in Hawaii or l a like,

323
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: you hat overpay. They're just they're not that many of them.

324
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: There aren't that many de Shohn Watson's. But now he

325
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: has this issue off the field that unless you have

326
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: the greatest you know, detectives in the history of detectives,

327
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: you have no clue what the truth is. You can

328
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: gather information, and I've talked to a lot of people

329
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL in one overarching theme that I've heard

330
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: from teams that aren't even that interested the rumors and

331
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: people are getting more comfortable is that he wasn't a

332
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: big go out guy. He used this to basically get laid,

333
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: and you know, he was using it a lot. You

334
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: know that move. Now, the thing that no one knows

335
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: is what happened once they were together, some clearly consensual

336
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: others who knows. No one was there. No one could

337
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: say with a straight face beside the two people to

338
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Sean and the countless massage therapist. Right, we have no clue.

339
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: So if you are the Miami Dolphins, and let's face it,

340
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: they are desperate, they are now one in five. They

341
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: are a disaster. I mean they are headed for like

342
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: a three win team, right that. They're just not very good.

343
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: They're not good at all, and their quarterback situation is

344
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: a major problem. So do you want to make this

345
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: move out of desperation? Well, what does it cost? Because

346
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: if you tell me it costs a second round pick

347
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: to get to Shaun Watson, is it worth the risk?

348
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: I'd say, hell yes, right? Would it be worth getting

349
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: some beachfront property in Malibu for a ten million dollar

350
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: home for two million dollars? But they might have a

351
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: legitimate cockroach, termite and snake problem. You'd be like, well,

352
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: if we get the pest people over here clear them out,

353
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: maybe it'll be okay. But yeah, it might be worth

354
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: the risk. Worst case scenario, you can't clear it out.

355
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: You can flip it for ten million bucks. Right, worst

356
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: case scenario you get something for two million dollars, he

357
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: gets in trouble. It's like, whatever, it was worth the risk.

358
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: But are you paying three ones into two to acquire

359
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, and then he can't shake these cases or

360
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: it becomes like it actually happened. That was that would

361
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: be the reason why I could not trade for him.

362
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: But here's the problem, and I think this happens a

363
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: lot in pro sports. Owning an NFL team is incredible.

364
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: You are guaranteed to make millions of dollars. Whether your

365
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: team goes to the Super Bowl or whether your team

366
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: doesn't win a game, it does not matter. You will

367
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: make a net profit every year. And you know, for

368
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: the most part, your your net profit is gonna be

369
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: pretty big. But just based on the media rights, let

370
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: alone sales, you know, Jersey sales to you know, obviously

371
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: you're eight or nine home games, depending on if you're

372
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: in the NFC or a FC. Now, I think Steven Ross,

373
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: and I don't blame him, has to be furious, like,

374
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: you guys fucked up the pick, and now the only

375
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: way for us to not be set back for years

376
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: after we already blew it up, to set ourselves back

377
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, is to do this. And

378
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: he's forcing these guys hands, And what would you do

379
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: if you're those two guys You're like, well, I might

380
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: get fired anyway because I'm gonna be the guy that

381
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: drafted to over Herbert, right, if your career in flores

382
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: But if I draft, or if I trade for Deshaun

383
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: Watson and all this stuff becomes true, or just one

384
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: of the incidents actually went bad for Deshaun Watson and

385
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: he's a criminal, I'm never getting hired in this capacity again.

386
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: My career is over. Even if the owner uses you

387
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: to shield his desires and they might not be interested. Ultimately,

388
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: if Steven Ross wants to do something, Steven Ross is

389
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna do it. As he's shooting, he signs to Jacks

390
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: and the best part about being an owner is that

391
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: could happen. He just blamed the owner, or he just

392
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: blamed the GM and the head coach. So it's a

393
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: very very slippery slope. I would not trade for him,

394
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: but I know talking to people in the league, they're

395
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: feeling more comfortable. Though it is a calculated risk. It's

396
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: a very very calculated risk. And also he's just there

397
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: aren't many Deshaun Watson's walking around this earth, and clearly

398
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins don't have one now to a like, would

399
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: they if they get Deshaun Watson, they might as well

400
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: just trade Ta for whatever they can get. And maybe

401
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 1: that is like a conditional second, right, hell, maybe it's

402
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: a third because Tah is already into year two. He

403
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: was the fifth pick in the draft, so it's not

404
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: like he makes seven thousand dollars. Probably makes six or

405
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: seven million dollars, which is like what good backups make,

406
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: and that might be what he is. So basically, if

407
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: I could get him for a third round pick, I

408
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: would be interested. Would I trade a first round pick

409
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: under no circumstances? Could I trade a first round pick

410
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: for toa zero chance second dependent on my pick status?

411
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: If I had an extra pick, I would think about

412
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: it if I was like a football team or a

413
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: Denver but I I even think those teams like, let's

414
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: just see, let's just figure it out this offseason, because

415
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: what does he really get us. He's not like he's

416
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: winning games. It's not like he's some dynamic player. It

417
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: shows you you can miss on a pick in the

418
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: first round at offensive guard, at wide receiver, at running back,

419
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: at middle linebacker, but you miss on quarterback When another

420
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: quarterback that you could have picked becomes a star. It's

421
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: hard to ever shake that. And I think you're seeing

422
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: that right now in Miami. The combination of disastrous pick,

423
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: a disastrous season, desperate owner for just he wants to win,

424
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: just pressure coming from everywhere, and these guys went from

425
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: being the toast of the town, the Miami Dolphins look

426
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: at this franchise to now being guys that it feels

427
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: like tangibly they're, you know, making a couple of moves

428
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: for their job, right. I mean, it wouldn't shock you

429
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: if they won two or three games they can't pull

430
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: off this is Shaun Watson thing and they just get

431
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: fired at the end of the season. I wouldn't I

432
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't put that past anybody. Now. I don't think that's

433
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But the Miami Dolphins are a great example

434
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: of the biggest move you're gonna make in your life.

435
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: And for most of us, it's like, you know, either

436
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: getting married, having children, um whatever. You know, if you

437
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: leave a stable job to go somewhere else, you better

438
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about your decision. Like, whoever you marry,

439
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have children with, you better feel pretty good

440
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: about that decision. If you're a general manager in the NFL,

441
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: you better know for certain if you're taking a quarterback

442
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: in the top really ten, this guy is gonna be

443
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: a guy, because if he's not, it will cost you

444
00:23:52,800 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: your career. Another quarterback story, uh in uh kind of

445
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: took the off season by storm was Aaron Rodgers. He

446
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: was gonna force a trade. He was gonna go to

447
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos and they were gonna trade a bunch of picks,

448
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: and he was gonna come back West and he was

449
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna be closer to his girlfriend fiance who knows what

450
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: she is in Los Angeles. And it was like, I

451
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: just kept saying, I understand, emotions are high. They had

452
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: a rough NFC Championship loss, Like Aaron had to be

453
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: thinking I'm going to win the super Bowl. And I

454
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: don't blame him. I picked him to win the super

455
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: Bowl last year. Once the playoffs started, I'm like, is

456
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: Green Bay super Bowl to lose? And then he has

457
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: a devastating loss against Tom freaking Brady at lambeau Field.

458
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: It just emotions were high. And I really think I'm

459
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: not saying that he made up the Gudakins beef, but

460
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: I think that a lot got created in his head

461
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: over some pretty innocuous moves and practice squad type players,

462
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: and it just got a little weird. And clearly that

463
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: he pressured the Packers and they relented and really capitulated

464
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: to a lot of his demands. They brought Randall Cobb.

465
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: They've just feel like they've done a good job. And

466
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: I will give Brian Gudikins a lot of credit. It

467
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: feels like the Packers have gone above and beyond to

468
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: just make him feel better. And you watch Aaron Rodgers

469
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: last week in Chicago screaming I still own you, which

470
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: is just an all time NFL moment. That was, you know,

471
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: just someone I don't care about really either team. That

472
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: was fun. It made have made us all laugh even

473
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: and it was true. And then watching these last couple

474
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: of weeks with Pat McAfee, it just looks like he's

475
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: having a good time. It looks like everything's going well.

476
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes when emotions are high, it's why

477
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches talk about, you know, whether they're gonna,

478
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, retire. You know, players often talk about whether

479
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: they're contemplating retiring. You don't make that decision right after

480
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: the last game, right you take a step back, you

481
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, you have a couple of cocktails,

482
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: you take a week to think about it. You don't

483
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: want to make decisions when your emotions are they high, right,

484
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: you don't probably want to get a divorce in the

485
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: middle of a fight, when you're screaming at each other.

486
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Now a week later, you've both had some time to think.

487
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you realize, listen, we're not right for each other.

488
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Let's go our separate ways. Right. But usually that's a

489
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, uh, it takes a lot of time to

490
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: build up to that. And I think Aaron Rodgers, I

491
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: feel like he pulled some of his excuses out of

492
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: his you know what. But you watch him this year

493
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: like it's pretty going pretty well. The Packers are an

494
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: absolute cruise control there five and one. I don't know

495
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: if he's gonna win the m v P, but he's

496
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: having another great season. Statistically, he's gonna throw forty to

497
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: forty five touchdowns, uh, you know, probably seven eight picks,

498
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna compete to be the number one seed.

499
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers are easily a top seven eight

500
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: brand in sports in America. There's not really that many

501
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: better places to play NFL quarterback in in you know,

502
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: in America. Right, you could say the Cowboys are a

503
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: little more famous, but the Packers quarterbacks Farvan Rodgers of

504
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: bigger than any Cowboy quarterback. Tom Brady kind of created

505
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots. You could argue it's the best quarterback job

506
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: in America. The Green Day Packers iconic brand. He's an

507
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: iconic player. But most importantly his team is really good,

508
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: like they are really now. They got some flaws or whatever,

509
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: but when you go fourteen fifteen wins, you know, last

510
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 1: year they went thirteen and three, the year before they

511
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: go thirteen and three, It doesn't get any better than that.

512
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: So I know Colin has thrown out. Maybe he's looking

513
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh. Obviously, Denver is gonna keep circling the wagons.

514
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: How does how are either of these situations better than

515
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: the situation he's at right now? And I think we

516
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: all would agree that they will do whatever it takes

517
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: to extend Vante Adams this offseason, who, for my money,

518
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: is the best wide receiver in the league. So he

519
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: has a superstar wide receiver, he has multiple running backs

520
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: back her He's coming back this this week. His offensive line.

521
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: Say what you want about Guna Kins. That guy can

522
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: find random offensive line, let alone the starting players that

523
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: they already have, and a lot of them are coming back.

524
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: I think the center might be out this week. But

525
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers situation is pretty good. And the they did

526
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: in a little adversity week one, and even Rogers like,

527
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: everyone take a deep breath. He didn't quite go as

528
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: far as the relax, but he said, everyone take a

529
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: deep breath. Run off five straight wins. I mean just

530
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: now they're playing, uh, the football team this week, they're

531
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna be six and one. I mean, they have a

532
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: very very good shot to be the number one seed

533
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: for the second year in a row and have the

534
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: NFC go through lambeau Field. So I get a lot

535
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: of d m s. And this is why I thought

536
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: about this, Like, what do you think about Aaron Rodgers, Like,

537
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: I look pretty happy to me. Sometimes you get into

538
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: a bad fight and you know it felt a little

539
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: more one sided on Roger's side, But listen, we all

540
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: have our own truth. And then you realize a week later,

541
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: a month later, six months later, a year later, I

542
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: got it pretty good, and he's got it pretty damn good.

543
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: And so my take is gonna be consistently till I

544
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: hear otherwise from twelve that I think that he's gonna

545
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: be on the package for the foreseeable future. I think

546
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: they figured this out. I think the head coach and

547
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: him get along very well, clearly offensively, They're on the

548
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: same page. He gets to do the best of both worlds.

549
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: He gets to mesh the Shanahan system, which works in

550
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: terms of running the ball. Yet they still let him

551
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: do some of this in the shotgun four or five

552
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: wide stuff you don't see, you know, from you know

553
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: Shanahan type coaches. I guess McVeigh is doing a little

554
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: more because he has Stafford and his offense just rolls.

555
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: So my my take on Rogers and the Packers where

556
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: it still feels like it's it's one of those things lingering,

557
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: like I don't see a breakup imminent, another big story,

558
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: and I just think the way society has turned that,

559
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm not some like media hater technically,

560
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm in the space though I don't really consider. I'm

561
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: definitely not a journalist. I did not go to journalism school.

562
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: I do not care like I'm an opinion guy. I

563
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: sell my words. I care about entertainment and money. That's

564
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: all this is there is zero journalistic integrity involved. Though

565
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect. I know how hard

566
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: it is to be a beat writer. I know, I

567
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: wrote for The Athletic for a couple of years. I'm

568
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: close with all the Bay Area guys that do it.

569
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: I had a column back in the day at cal

570
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Pouly Johnny in the Box. Um, so I I do.

571
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: I do respect the hell out of the profession. I

572
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: know how hard it is, but like they get a

573
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: lot of pressure now from the powers that be to

574
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: be very salacious, and I think everything in terms of

575
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: the media has just become so salacious and that listen,

576
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: it's the consumer, that's what we like. When we see

577
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: a salacious headline, we are more likely to probably click

578
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: on that to consume that than we are something that's

579
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: kind of boring. And I saw some stuff this week

580
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: which was pretty crazy that basically people that once at

581
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: O Geron had officially broken up, even though they're not

582
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: technically firing them yet. They had a bunch of reports

583
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: came out that were I mean, just like, God, is

584
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: this guy a bad guy? This guy what's up with

585
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: at Ozron? And two stories I saw one was that

586
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: he hit on a pregnant woman at a gas station,

587
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: and the other was that he was bringing around his

588
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: girlfriend's children and letting them practice in drills. The athletic

589
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: has had to retract that it was not true that

590
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: the woman that he hit on, who was actually married

591
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: to one of like the board of directors at l

592
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: s U, was not pregnant. But when you add in

593
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: your story that she was pregnant, that is a wowser moment.

594
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: And then the other story that came out about l

595
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: s U was that the the the girlfriend's children were

596
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: allowed to practice and participate in l s U practice,

597
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: which is insane. Like, I've been to enough practices. It's

598
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: one thing like once practice ends, you let some kids

599
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: on the field. That happens at every level, high school

600
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: to the pros. But in the middle of practice, that's crazy.

601
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Every single player. I saw a ton of players on

602
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: my Twitter timeline like this is completely made up. I've

603
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: been in this program for three or four years. I've

604
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: never seen this. So it's like, you know, the mainstream

605
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: media is losing so much of our attention is the

606
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: wrong word, but our trust because a crap like that,

607
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: like the you are just destroying a man's character that

608
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: he do it good enough job coaching the football team

609
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: clearly not l s U is super high standards and

610
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: he was not good enough. But when you say these

611
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: hitting non pregnant women and doing some of the things

612
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: that practice and it's untrue, like you can retract it,

613
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: you can, you know, claim well I got bad information.

614
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: The information is already out there and that is just

615
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: happening way too much in society, Like it's pretty crazy.

616
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: I actually and I know a couple of people that

617
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: have worked with that. Oh, they don't really like him.

618
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: And so I'm not like some edo truther here as

619
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: a person. I've never met him. I've been around him

620
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times going to USC practices. Uh when

621
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: I was at g A at Fresno State, we went

622
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: to watch some practice. But I don't I don't know

623
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: the guy at all, So I'm not here to defend

624
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: his character as like some from a personal connection. But

625
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: that to me, like what did that happen to merror you?

626
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of bullshit, And like I said, there's

627
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: just no well we were wrong on that, Like that's

628
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: a pretty big thing to be wrong on. And then

629
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: just the job itself, I didn't know much about this

630
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: Scott Woodward character, who's the a D. So I did

631
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: a little googling and he'd been at Washington for almost

632
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: a decade, then he went to Texas A and M.

633
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: And now he's been at l s U for a

634
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: couple of years, which was his alma mater. And if

635
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: you look at the history of his four coaching hires,

636
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: he hired Steve Sarkisian after the Washington Huskies team went

637
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: oh and twelve one year. It was terrible and at

638
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: the time, like I do give him credit for that.

639
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: Now it turned out Starks struggle to win eight games

640
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: and it's not a very good head coach, and now

641
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: University of Texas is seeing that. But at the time

642
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: that was a good hire, no different than Texas at

643
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: the time hiring Tom Herman. It made a lot of sense.

644
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: It did not work out, but it made a ton

645
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: of sense. So while the the ultimately the hire didn't

646
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: work out, like he was on the right guy. A

647
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: lot of people were trying to hire Sark back when

648
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: he did. Then he got a lifeline when sark got

649
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: the job at USC after Lane got fired and then

650
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: Ed didn't get the job. He hired Chris Peterson, who

651
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: at the time at Boise State things were starting to

652
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: get weird. They had had for his first first time

653
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: in his career, had somewhat of a down season. I

654
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: think they won like seven or eight games. And I

655
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: remember I know people that know him. He's a U. C.

656
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: Davis guy and born and raising Davis. My dad's close

657
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of Davis um athletic, you know type people,

658
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: and they all kind of run in the same circles.

659
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson, Mike Ballotti, Dan Hawkins. There there was this

660
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: crew of Davis guys. Hackett, who's now I think with

661
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers with the Packers. They're all kind of in

662
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: the same crew and they all have mutual friends. And

663
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson was just kind of tired of it, like

664
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: we're a mid major. I've been kicking everyone's ass and

665
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: you're treating me like this L s U or Alabama.

666
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: We have one bad season. So he was there to

667
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: be had and Woodward got him. So Woodword lost ARC

668
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: and upgraded like that was an impressive higher than Washington

669
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: made the playoffs a couple of years later, hit a

670
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: home run. Then he goes to Texas a and M.

671
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: And similar to Chris Peterson at Boise, Jimbo was going

672
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: through some weird stuff at Florida State, right, Obviously the

673
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: program was kind of in a weird spot. He was

674
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: going through a bad divorce. You can google it. Kind

675
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: of a selation story as well, though I think that

676
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: one was based on facts. And he landed him and

677
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: he got the boosters and they gave him a ton

678
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: of money. I think his first contract that him like

679
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: seventy million. He's down a second contract for a hundred million.

680
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: Jim has made a lot of money in Texas AM.

681
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: But so he went back to back coaching hires, uh,

682
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson and Jimbo Fisher, which were just home runs

683
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: for both programs, right, Chris probably a little bit more.

684
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: But Jim I just beat Alabama. Jimbo is Jimbo is

685
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: as good as Texas and M can ever wish to do.

686
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: And now he goes to l s U. But I

687
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: look around the landscape like there's not really a Crisp

688
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: person or a Jimbo Fisher that's at you know, a

689
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: high level program, that's a high level coach that kind

690
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: of feels in distress, that feels like he can go

691
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: land so for the first time, he's gonna have to

692
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: I guess Sark a little bit. But let's face it,

693
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: he's trying to get a national championship level coach. In

694
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: his mind, he's gonna try to do kind of what

695
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: Miami or what what Alabama did when Saban was at Miami,

696
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: what Ohio State did when they landed Urban Meyer. Get

697
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: a guy that you know right away can win national

698
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: championships in one name. I saw on the kind of

699
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: the Reddit message board, just on the internet streets. And

700
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: I've said this for years that Mike Tomlin would kill it,

701
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: and I mean dominate in college football. I've always said

702
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: that about her, And look at a s U that

703
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: they're pretty competitive. He's made them much better by year

704
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: three than they were for like the last decade. Like

705
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: her meta words is working in college football. That can't

706
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: be disputed. And Mike Tomlin isn't infinitely better coach. Just

707
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: look at us their two NFL resumes then herm Edwards. Now,

708
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: is Mike Tomlin gonna leave the Pittsburgh Steelers for l

709
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: s U. Probably not, but if you can convince him,

710
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: like bro, your quarterback situation is a mess, maybe he's

711
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: just time for a change, you know. Now, Mike Tomlin

712
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: would immediately get hired in the NFL. So I don't

713
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: know if he'd ever be interested in the recruiting aspect,

714
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: but I've heard him on enough podcast and heard him

715
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: give enough like offseason interviews. I do think he really

716
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: values influencing humans lives, and I you know, if any

717
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: guy was gonna make the transition, I could see Woodward

718
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: going and just trying to land him. Now, I think

719
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: it's a hail mary. But if you are Scott Woodward,

720
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: you better throw some hail mary's. You better be okay

721
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: with people saying no, because like James Franklin, you just

722
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: go hire James Franklin or a Luke Fickle or just

723
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: all these, you know, the same names that are out there.

724
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: It is no guarantee that he's gonna be as good

725
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: as at Ocean, let alone going to survive more than

726
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: three years. So to me, I'm taking an absolute swing

727
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: for the fence and making people say no. Same with

728
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. Now, I don't know, you know, if he

729
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: would be in the Urban Meyer business, Urban's got some

730
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: weird ship going on, who knows, But like those are

731
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: the type names I would go after before I ever

732
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: went for the smaller names. Even Lane Kiffin like to me,

733
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: he's not on their level, right, James Franklin is not

734
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: on these guys level, so I would expect him to

735
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: go fishing in the deep end of the pool. And

736
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: it's when you're L s U and you can pay

737
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: eight nine, ten million dollars, you're in the SEC, which

738
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: is basically the NFL. Now. Like to me, the L

739
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: s U and USC job, they're not even comparable the

740
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: Pac twelve and listen. Born and raised on the West Coast,

741
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: I've lived thirty seven thirty four and a half years

742
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: of my life in California. I'm a Pack twelve homer.

743
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: We don't hold a candle to the SEC, interest finances,

744
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: NFL prospects, the whole thing. It is so much bigger,

745
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: and it pains me to say. It's why I'm I

746
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: claimed to be an SEC guy. The SEC interests me

747
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: much more now than the Back twelve. And that's that,

748
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: and so does it with a lot of these kids.

749
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: It's why so many of them go to school there.

750
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: Nag Harris five minutes away, Bryce uh young l a guy.

751
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just getting all of our best players,

752
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: as they should. I would go there too if I

753
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: had the options. Uh So, I I'm very, very fascinated

754
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: what Elise she was gonna do. But I'll promise you

755
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some enormous names linked with this program.

756
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: Now is it gonna happen? Who knows? Do They probably

757
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: end up with a James Franklin type. Probably, but I

758
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: would expect this guy, given the resources, given the power

759
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: of his program, given the power of his conference, to

760
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: go big game hunting. Let's just fly around the NFL

761
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 1: really quick. This is a pretty terrible weekend. Uh ton

762
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: of buys, a lot of bad games, a lot of

763
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: huge spreads. I mean, the Arizona Cardinals are about they

764
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: play the Texans, They're gonna be seven and oh. When

765
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: you go seven and oh in a seventeen game season,

766
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if they go four and six the rest

767
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: of the year, they would be I mean they're gonna

768
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: make the playoffs this year. I mean that would be

769
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: eleven and six. That'd be a playoff lock. I mean

770
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: they might not win the division, but and more than

771
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: likely they're not gonna go four and six. That would

772
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: probably be a Kyler Murray injury. Even if they went

773
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: five and five, that would be twelve and five. I

774
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: mean the Cardinals going six and oh then having the

775
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: Texans are just in fantastic shape. I listen, I gotta

776
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: I gotta eat crawling that I was wrong. Uh, Chiefs Titans,

777
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: you know Mahomes that their offense has been really good

778
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: and they've turned the ball over at a really high rate.

779
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes is throwing a ton of picks. Clyde had those games,

780
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: like I think was it three games in a row?

781
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: Is definitely too where he had the fumbles. So if

782
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: they could just cut the turnovers a little bit, that

783
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: offense is just really, really explosive. And listen, anytime Derrick

784
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: Henry is taking the field, I'm watching this guy. We

785
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: all know he's getting the ball, and I wouldn't we

786
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: all be stunned if he doesn't have a hundred fifty

787
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Somebody who plays daily fantasy I

788
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: always overthinking. I'm like, oh, this will be the game

789
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: game that Henry has thirty yards, and then he has

790
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy yards and three touchdowns. I mean,

791
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: it's just like clockwork. He's really on one of the

792
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: most remarkable three year stretches in NFL history. The Bengals

793
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: in the Ravens. What are the Bengals just good? I mean,

794
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna win this game, but I

795
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't say they don't have a shot to win

796
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: this game. Jamar Chase went from not catching anything in

797
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: uh in August to Marlon Humphrey. I think his quote

798
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: was something like this week like he's taking a league

799
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: by storm. This guy's dominating. I mean, Jamaar Chase is elite. Uh.

800
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: Burrows a stud. I mean, that's just an awesome one

801
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: to combination. Joe Mixing is really good. That's a pretty

802
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: good big three. Burrow Mixing and Jamaar Chase. Now again,

803
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: I do not think they're gonna win this game, but

804
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: if they did, when we have to take the Bengals

805
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: as like a legitimate I don't want to say a

806
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: f C contender, but just a team that's gonna make

807
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: serious noise, that could win a playoff game, no human,

808
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: even Bengals fans, would have said that in the middle

809
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: of our guest. But things James Fast. I mean, when

810
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: you win games and when you have explosive offensive players

811
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: in a really good quarterback. I think we gotta take

812
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: it seriously. Jamaar Jamaar Chase first, Marlon Humphrey, sign me

813
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: up for that matchup. How about the Vegas Raiders? They

814
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: have a chance to be five and two. I mean,

815
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: obviously Gruden's gone, but if you're five and two, they'd

816
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: be in pretty good shape. Like, how are they not

817
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: going to be an a f C wild card? Now?

818
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: The Eagles, who are a very weird team, who have

819
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: not looked good for several weeks, and a big part

820
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: of that has been their quarterback play has been atrocious.

821
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: Jalen has not played well. He's put up a lot

822
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: of hollow stats late in games when they've had big leads.

823
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: They match up pretty good against the Raiders. The Raiders

824
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, beside their left tackle is not very good. Leatherwood,

825
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: the guy they drafted number seventeen overall, is now a guard.

826
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: The Eagles have fantastic defensive lineman. Hard Graves is an

827
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: all pro level player right now. Fletcher Cox probably not

828
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: as good as he was a couple of years ago,

829
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: but it's still really good. I don't know how they're

830
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna block these guys. And when Derek gets pressure, it

831
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: doesn't go that well. Uh Now, I'd have a hard time,

832
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: you know, picking the Eagles in this game, and I

833
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: think the Raiders win. But I you watch, I bet

834
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: this game is a little closer than you think, unless

835
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: Jalen is just atrocious. Now the Raiders defense, you know,

836
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: they don't exactly have Dion Sanders and Netta Reid walking

837
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: through that door in their secondary, so I would imagine

838
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: Jalen would be a little bit better this week. Also cool,

839
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: there's so many Alabama players right now. You cannot turn

840
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: on an NFL game and not see multiple Alabama guys

841
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: like playing well. I mean, just think about this game.

842
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Josh Jacobs, You're gonna have Henry Rugs.

843
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Davante Smith, You're gonna have Landon Dickerson,

844
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, who's a little bit older in those guys,

845
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: but he's in this game. I mean, they're just blue

846
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: Chippers from Alabama all over the league kicking off forever.

847
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: Like the first half of Saban's run, it was always like,

848
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, he can't there's no beside running back and

849
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: even they're kind of questionable. It's just offensive lineman and

850
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: defensive players. Well, now it's wide receivers, it's running backs.

851
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: Of hell, even quarterbacks, even though two was a little

852
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, not that good. He still starts. Uh. And

853
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: last but not least Niners. Colts kind of sucks. I mean,

854
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: we got the one game of Trey Lance and now

855
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: he's hurt. It's weird because no one saw him got hurt.

856
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't know when he got hurt. And then they

857
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: claimed after the game he had a spraying knee, even

858
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 1: though he said post the Arizona game, I feel fine.

859
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 1: Then he doesn't practice all week during the bye week,

860
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: and then they give him the weekend off, but he's

861
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: at the Giants game on Thursday. Now he's missed practice

862
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: all week. So we're gonna get the Jimmy Garoppolo experience,

863
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: which has not gone well. The Colts, who are getting

864
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: the best Carson Wentz version we've seen hell in years. Uh,

865
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the Niners really gonna lose

866
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: their first three home games of two if they do.

867
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: Like people around here are down on Kyle Shanahan. This

868
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: is a big game for Kyle Shanahan just to get

869
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: some of his mojo back. This guy was considered universally

870
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: but definitely locally is like boy Wonder and right now

871
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: people are kind of calling him like village idiot, like

872
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Why can't you score any points?

873
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: So I expect the Niners to win, though I do

874
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: not feel very good about it. Back again with you

875
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: know what's turned into my favorite segment of the week

876
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: with my man Stucky, who's you know if this was

877
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: the NFL, he he might not be able to play

878
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: this week, playing injured, potentially got bronchitis from the wife.

879
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: Not ideal, but you know, gamblers gotta make their picks.

880
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: You can hear him every week Thursday Morning Action podcast Network, Stucky,

881
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: Are you live? Yeah, there's no weeks off from you know,

882
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: August until March. I mean, if this was May, I

883
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: could just take three days and get under a heat

884
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: of black and sleep. But on a Wednesday, Thursday, it's, uh,

885
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: you just gotta push through it. So uh, here we

886
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: are again. Tom Brady has been playing games with without

887
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: of voice, so you know, I'm just like that, right

888
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: on that, right on the bar with them. Okay, we

889
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: had an interesting week last week. Obviously, Cleveland I think

890
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: chocked us. All they got destroyed New England, was you know,

891
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: in position to not just cover but win that game.

892
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: That was crazy. But the Ravens says that that was

893
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: a good pick. So you're you're ten seven and one

894
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: on the season. Uh, what's funny. Well we first talked.

895
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: I told you about my biggest bet ever which I lost,

896
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: which is what New England plus four went too over

897
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: time against Atlanta? What the coy toss and I had Atlanta.

898
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 1: Well this time I have to do England plus four

899
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: and they with the coy toss but still find a

900
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: way to lose my touchdown. So that one was that

901
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: was cruel. I know everyone's blowing Mac Jones. I'm not

902
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: a Mac Jones hater, but I mean he he clearly

903
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: not on the same page with his wide receiver and

904
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: like third and three airmails him. I don't know what's

905
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: going on there. It's not like if Brady's in the game,

906
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine I turned out, Yeah you bet, okay.

907
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: Let's um. Let's start with Philly headed to Vegas. I

908
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: U I like Philly in this game plus the points.

909
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if they went out right, but I

910
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: think they have a huge advantage in the trenches. I

911
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 1: mean they're D line against that Raiders offensive line, which

912
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: is more than questionable. How about you, that's you've got

913
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: the side here. I took some plus three some plus

914
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: three D and just to preface all this, it's like

915
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: this is probably I think that's why end up going

916
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: down is the ugliest NFL card of the entire year.

917
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: You know, you have a bunch of buys and it's

918
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: pretty bad. You know, I might as sixteen A, might

919
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: a seventeen nights thirteen, but h yeah, I think this

920
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite ounter dogs on the card.

921
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: With the Eagles day, you have an you doubt that

922
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: match up to the trenches. How do you beat Derek Carr?

923
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: You get pressure out of here without blitzing, And that's

924
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: exactly what Philly does. They don't blitz. They blitz that

925
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: I think about thirteen fourteen percent of the time. And

926
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: their defensive line, especially up the middle against that really

927
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: weak interior, they can collapse this pocket, get pressure on

928
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: the car and then what they're doing on the back

929
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: end is they're just preventing explosive plays there. They rank

930
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: in the top three of allowing explosive passes the Raiders

931
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: or number the number one offense in the NFL and

932
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: explosive past plays. So Philly is playing really back. They

933
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: can get pressure, so I think they match up well

934
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: on that side and ball on the other side of

935
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, you get Lane Johnson back and tackle.

936
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: Presumably Mayata moves the left tackle. That's key because you

937
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: can then deal with the strength of this Raiders defense,

938
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: which is their edge rushers. I think that Philly will

939
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: be able to run it. Some Raiders secondaries bagged up um,

940
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: so yeah, I like I like Philly to get this done.

941
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: A couple extra days of rest and preparation. If they're

942
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: playing on Thursday, and this Raiders team just just look

943
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: look at their results. This is your class, the classic

944
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: team that just plays up and down to their competition

945
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: like they you know, they beat the Ravens, they went

946
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: to Pitt beat that beat the Steelers. Then they lose

947
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: at home to the Bears. They got overtime at home

948
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. I think the Eagles go out West

949
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: to get this done. Okay, football team, which was a

950
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: pretty sexy preseason pick. I don't know to be like

951
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: a twelve win team, but to be you know, nine

952
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: tennis wind squad have been pretty terrible headed to Green Bay,

953
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: who's just in cruise control right now, kicking people's asses

954
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: and not even trying. It looks like they're getting nine

955
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: and a half points. My take would be that's a

956
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: lot of points. I just struggle right now betting on

957
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: the football team. I mean, I this would probably be

958
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: a stay away from me. But if I was gonna

959
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: pick it, I'd probably have to go with the Packers.

960
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: What say you, Yeah, I took the points. I took

961
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: that a half. I just think that this is look

962
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: coming into the year, I actually was on an island.

963
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: I hated this Washington team. I bet them under winds

964
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: and one of my favorite win totals because if you

965
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: look at last year, the quarterbacks that they faced, the

966
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: offensive lines that they faced, I mean it was back

967
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: up after back up, and you're facing the Dallas offensive

968
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: live twice that was just killed by injuries. The Philly

969
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: offensive lie that was crushed by injuries. So throughout the

970
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: year they have the Giants office life. Their defense was

971
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: just benefiting from a lot of backups. I think their

972
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: numbers were inflated. I just wasn't a huge fan of them,

973
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: but I think that now the market is finally abandoned

974
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: them and that there's some value of the slide. I

975
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: would have loved to get ted. But the Packers, look,

976
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: they haven't really been blowing teams out like you said.

977
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: I think they're kind of in cruise control where they

978
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: beat the Bears an emotional win. I own you. They

979
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: have the Cardinals on Thursday night coming up in a

980
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: game that could determined who gets the one seed of

981
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: the NFC when it's all said and done. So that's

982
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: a good Thursday night game. Now, great, there's in that game.

983
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: So they have a lot of injuries. You know the

984
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: scenarios Smiths that are huge. They're already on our Preston Smith,

985
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: you know Savage, their center, Myers and rookies would play well.

986
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: I doubt any of them play. Packers most conservative teams

987
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL when it comes to injuries. And when

988
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: you consider that, you know, they have the Cardinals on

989
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: Thursday night in a short week, I doubt any of

990
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: them play this is This is basically Washington's easy. I

991
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: mean they're two and four. You see how Dallas with

992
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: Dallas is doing. They don't win this game. I think

993
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: it's over you probably, I think that you get their

994
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: best effort here. Their secondary has been a mess with miscommunication.

995
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: Their defensive line is getting close, like they're getting pressure.

996
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the game they finally get the Rodgers.

997
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: I just think after the Packers have covered five straight,

998
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: Washington has been a mess. Everyone has done with them.

999
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: But you're finally getting some value at Washington. It's scary,

1000
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: hold your nose, but I can see the Packers coming

1001
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: out flat here. They also play slow, and you know,

1002
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: and then maybe they get behind by seven, the Ted

1003
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,439
Speaker 1: Rodgers brings the back and they win, you know, by

1004
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: four to six. I could see that easily playing out.

1005
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: So I think it's a good spot for Washington. Little

1006
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: value the line that I make seven. So I took

1007
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: the die and a half here again on a just

1008
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: an ugly card, on just a big picture like ranking,

1009
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, the top probably four or five teams in

1010
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: the NFC neutral site. If you were placing lines Green Bay, Tampa,

1011
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: l A, air Zona, and Dallas, would you put Green

1012
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: Bay at the bottom of that list or where would

1013
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: you put them? Yeah? Well, it actually depends on the

1014
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: status of Jayre Alexander, and I don't I haven't checked

1015
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: to see if he's out for the year, yet they

1016
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: said that they're waiting to see. But I think he's

1017
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: that important that team. When you're talking about playing these

1018
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: upper Rachelist teams in the n SC, like you're gonna

1019
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: go out and play some of these high power passing attats.

1020
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: He allows you to do so much. So I think, yeah,

1021
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay would probably be fourth or fifth on that

1022
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: list without Jayre Alexander. You know, he's arguably the most

1023
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: important defensive player to his team in the NFL UM

1024
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, those are those are the five that I

1025
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: think will be right there when it's all said and done. Yeah,

1026
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: And if you think about it, all those you know,

1027
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: those teams. Obviously Green bayas too with Davante, but they

1028
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: all you know, Hopkins, Agent Green's playing well, Rondale Moore,

1029
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: Ceedee lamb A, Maori, Mike Evans and all those guys.

1030
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, all these teams, now I've just loaded passing

1031
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: attacktion right without that, without him, it's gonna be tough

1032
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: for them in the playoff. So just because their dbs

1033
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: are just gonna get smoked, yeah, and then it didn't,

1034
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't allow you to be flexible on defense with

1035
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: being aggressive calling different things you're too worried about, you know,

1036
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: keeping your safeties back, and then you're just gonna get

1037
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: picked apart. So I think that his status is paramount

1038
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: for greed based chances of the Super Bowl. Okay, Chiefs

1039
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: headed in Nashville. Both these two teams, I mean, Tennessee

1040
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,919
Speaker 1: got an enormous win, Kansas City was going weird against

1041
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: the football team and then Mahomes turned into the Homes

1042
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: and they kind of kick their ass in the second half.

1043
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs minus five and a half. I'd be torn on

1044
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: this one. It's like, do I ride the momentum of Tennessee?

1045
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: Do I trust Kansas City's defense? But Tennessee is not

1046
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: just I mean, they're very predicated on a running back,

1047
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: hit and play. So if you can just neutralize him

1048
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: a little bit, which clearly everyone tries and they can.

1049
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys like the modern day Jim Brown

1050
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: right now. But I guess I would leave in Kansas

1051
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: City minus five and a half. But I don't. This

1052
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: might be a stay away from me. I don't. Yeah,

1053
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: it is very ugly, but I did play some Chiefs

1054
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: minus five and after, which is shocking for me. I

1055
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: haven't played that. I haven't bet the Chiefs. I've teased

1056
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 1: them a couple of times. I haven't bet the Chiefs

1057
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: and a spread, and luckily because they've they've rarely covered

1058
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: over the past year. I haven't bet them in two years. Um,

1059
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: just a straight spread. There's just been inflation in the market.

1060
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: Who doesn't you know, everyone wants to back Mahomes and

1061
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, but I think that, Look, this is not

1062
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: Number one Tennessee coming off an emotional win a short

1063
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: week and they got crushed by injuries in that game

1064
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: against buffal Julio Jones. I doubt plays dealing with a hamstring.

1065
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: They're gonna win that division. You can't really you've seen

1066
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: that basically over now. Yeah, you've seen they've basically Clicksion.

1067
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: You've seen very already. Be careful with him, you know

1068
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: he's older, is dealing with a hamster. You don't want

1069
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: that the Laker, So I doubt he plays. Tylor Lawan

1070
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: goes down, his backup is very poor, and Kendall Lamb

1071
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 1: and then on the defensive side of the ball, I mean,

1072
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: Fulton has been their best quarter by far this year.

1073
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: He's on I R you lose your first round draft

1074
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: pick for the season. To an injury. Your corners for

1075
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: this game are Chris Jackson, who's hurt, who isn't in practice?

1076
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: In Brian Borders like, you're signing guys in the practice

1077
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: squad to go up against this Kansas City offense. That's

1078
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: a nightmare. And look, this Kansas City offense still leads

1079
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: the league and points per drive despite leading the league

1080
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: in turnovers per drive. So you know, once this turnover

1081
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: regression happens about Hopes just says it's, you know, stops

1082
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: throwing the ball up there, which we never see from

1083
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the offens gonna look like,

1084
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: especially against this Tennessee defense, which is just crushed. It's

1085
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: not not good to start with, and now they have

1086
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: no quarters. And then you know the one thing that

1087
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: I've always hated about Kansas City, which is and why

1088
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: oh never one of the late points with them is

1089
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: their defense. They actually found some things last week Schematically,

1090
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: they'll get some guys back this week. Like last week

1091
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: they helped Washington to seventy yards in the second half.

1092
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: They they finally took soreds It out and played Thornhill

1093
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: every step. I don't know what took them so long.

1094
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: They were finally playing Willie Gay and they're at linebacker

1095
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: for even don't get Chris Jones back this week at

1096
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: d tackle. They were trying to play with the the end

1097
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: which was just a nightmare to our various awards should

1098
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: come back as well. Still not a good defense, but

1099
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: it could play as like the one second rank defense,

1100
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: which is all they need. The first few weeks of

1101
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: the season, it was the worst defense in the NFL

1102
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: by far, and you couldn't like points with them. So

1103
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: I think you know, Tennesseeota short week here, Kansas City

1104
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: has advantages, massive advantage on the offensive side of the ball.

1105
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: I think they'd get enough stops. Henry will probably run

1106
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: wild against this defense without Julio Jones, without Taylor Lawan,

1107
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: I like the Chiefs to get this done by at

1108
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: least a touchdown and what should be extremely high scoring game. Yeah,

1109
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 1: taking Hornson out might just remove and minimum a touchdown

1110
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: a game because was just getting every game. You would

1111
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: be lost someone's twenty yards down field behind them. Okay, stucky,

1112
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 1: Uh do take some drugs, feel better and uh enjoy

1113
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: the weekend. Feel get better quick. Okay, let's go Middlecoff

1114
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: mail back at John Middlecoff is the Instagram handle and

1115
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: that's where you slide up in those direct messages and

1116
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: get your question answer here on the show. Hey John,

1117
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 1: what's your take on uh Trayvon dig season? His case

1118
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: seems to be a tale of whatever stat you look

1119
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: at yards versus I N T s. For example, is

1120
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: the takeaway production sustainable? Well, I haven't studied him, and

1121
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: to really have a big take on a corner, you'd

1122
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: have to like get the all twenty two out and

1123
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: watch him. And I think there's another question in here.

1124
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: Someone's like asking if he's a little overrated because he's

1125
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: giving up some yards. He's given up some place. Marcus

1126
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: Peters gives up a ton of yards in a ton

1127
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: of place, but he turns, he creates turnovers by force

1128
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: fumbles and picks picks the ball off. Dix has two

1129
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns on his own and seven picks. So if he's

1130
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: got burned a couple of times, I don't give a shit.

1131
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: If you're going to create seven turnover through six games,

1132
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: every team in the league will start the guy and

1133
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: take him immediately. Now I know that's not your question,

1134
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, is is he? Dion Sanders is a you know,

1135
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey as a cover corner. Probably not. But is

1136
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: he creating so much value by turning the ball over?

1137
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: And he scored two touchdowns? Right? Because he has two

1138
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: pick six? Is that I can live with? Whatever? You know,

1139
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: yards he gives up? I also think yards in the NFL,

1140
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: how many true touchdowns has the guy given up? You

1141
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: can give up a ton of yards. Yards are the

1142
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: most overrated thing in America. The Forts against Seattle, like

1143
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, had like two hundred yards in the

1144
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: first quarter. It's seven total points. This world is about

1145
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean not this world, but this world is too.

1146
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: It's about, you know, scoring points. You can have eight

1147
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: hundred yards offense, but if you only score twenty points,

1148
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: who cares. It's like if you're a defense and you

1149
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: gave up a ton of yards, but you don't give

1150
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: up that many points. Like the point of the game

1151
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: is to score. So to me, the question is am

1152
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: I gonna put him like you know, Dion Sanders, Darrell Reevas. No,

1153
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: but let's not overstate what he's doing is incredible. If

1154
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: you're picking the ball off every single game, that to

1155
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: me is really all that matters. Started listening to your

1156
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: solo pot a few months ago and haven't missed an episode.

1157
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. I have a question for whatever your next

1158
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: mail bag is. It seems at the moment that Malik

1159
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: Willis and Matt Corrall are the two quarterbacks that are

1160
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: likely to go in the first round, but their viewed

1161
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: as the same caliber of prospects of guys in last

1162
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: year's class. Do you think quarterback needy teams that will

1163
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: likely pick in the top five, like the Texans or Lions,

1164
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: for example, would take them at that point? Where do

1165
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: you think for the first time in a while, no

1166
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: quarterback goes in the top ten picks. Well, the kid

1167
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: at Liberty, Malik I I have not seen throw a pass.

1168
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,479
Speaker 1: I have yet to watch any Liberty, so I can't

1169
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: really have a take there beside knowing what Bruce Feldman

1170
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: and other people have talked about that. Have you know

1171
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: been at camps with him? Uh? My friend, is that

1172
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: are like college directors do not seem to think that

1173
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: there are any top quarterbacks now. Guys get overdrafted right

1174
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: that much is It's like in a good real estate market,

1175
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: you're like, well, this house on the market for a million,

1176
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: but if you want it's gonna cost you one point three, right,

1177
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: you can offer one point one, but you'll never get it.

1178
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Like you want to get a quarterback. It was like

1179
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: last year with the quarterbacks, you know what I mean,

1180
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: five of them win the top fifteen, four of them

1181
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: win in the top eleven. It's like, yeah, I want

1182
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback. It's like Washington Football team. I want a quarterback. Well,

1183
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: if you want to get one, you gotta get up

1184
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: here high, and if you don't, you won't get one.

1185
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: So you know, those guys all had elite attributes. Karl Small,

1186
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: that's the thing, Koral Small. I haven't seen Malik throw

1187
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: the ball. I think there's a chance, just based on

1188
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: the limited information I have. Then no quarterbacks are taken

1189
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: in the top ten because if I'm Dan Campbell or

1190
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm the Texans, i am not drafting a guy unless

1191
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be my starting quarterback for ten years.

1192
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: It's not worth it. I'm biased because one of my

1193
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: buddies who I played hockey with, is a kicker in

1194
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: the CFL, Brett Louther. He's been a consistent kicker in

1195
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: that league since eight team. Why is it the cf

1196
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: CFL kickers don't get a look. When NFL kickers are struggling,

1197
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: the league seems to recycle talent. Well, when you're in

1198
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: the CFL, I can't sign you out of the CFL.

1199
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: When I was a pro scout, I worked out of

1200
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: CFL guys they have. If I signed like a two

1201
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: year contract with the CFL, I'm stuck there for a

1202
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: couple of years. So it's not like the a F

1203
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: for the XFL, where I can just steal you out

1204
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 1: of the league. I can't take you till your contract

1205
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: is up, and there's this window where I can sign you.

1206
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: So it is a little complicated, and I can't sign

1207
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: you during the season. It's got these weird rules. Now

1208
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: maybe those have chained in the last four or five years,

1209
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: but I don't think they have. So it's it's a

1210
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: little more complicated than you think. So really, if I'm

1211
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna sign a CFL kicker, I have to do in

1212
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: the off season, and then he has to beat out

1213
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: the NFL kicker. And let's face it, the NFL kickers,

1214
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, just they don't look that bad and practice,

1215
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: it's just the games that fuck. So I think they

1216
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,959
Speaker 1: get recycled because those are the only guys There's aren't

1217
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: that many human beings that can make forty yard field

1218
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: goals there. There just aren't. Have you ever tried kicking

1219
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: field goal? Just like screwing around at a at a field?

1220
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: Pretty hard? What do you think the ceiling is for

1221
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers with Ben this year? I believe we have

1222
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: potential for a top five defenses and nice weapons. My

1223
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: concern is the old line in the progression of Devin Bush.

1224
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I think you can get to ten wins your three

1225
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: and three Uh yeah, I mean I I don't think

1226
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: ten wins levin probably best case, but your defense, your culture.

1227
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Ben can kind of operate like Tom Brady

1228
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: now right, get rid of the ball fast, which he is.

1229
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: The problem is the weather is gonna turn in Pittsburgh.

1230
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Uh that's where the offensive line might get exposed. But

1231
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: you get another shot at Cincinnati. You gotta buy this week.

1232
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Then you get the Brownies, then you get the Bears,

1233
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: then you get the Lions, so boom. I mean, if

1234
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: you beat the Browns, I mean you could go you

1235
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: could be six and three really fast, then the Chargers,

1236
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: then the Bengals again, then the Ravens and the Vikings,

1237
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: then the Titans, then the Chiefs, then the Browns and

1238
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Holy shit, your schedule is pretty hard, so

1239
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: you better figure out a way to win probably these

1240
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: next three games at Browns, Bears, Lions. Then you'll be

1241
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: six and three and then just you know, try to

1242
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: win four more games at Chargers at Bengals, Ravens at Vikings,

1243
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Titans at Chiefs, Browns at Ravens. Ship That's that is

1244
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 1: not easy. That wouldn't be easy if the Steelers were

1245
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: really good. So you know, i'd say ten max, I'd

1246
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: say anywhere between eight to ten. It's gonna come down

1247
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: to your offensive line and how you know, Ben holds up.

1248
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL is headed in the direction

1249
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: that is two quarterbacks centric? Average completion percentages never been higher.

1250
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: You can't touch quarterbacks, and I've heard you mentioned it's

1251
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: been it's never been easier to play quarterback. I'd love

1252
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: to see an NFL where Derrick Henry or a great

1253
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: defense can lead a team to a super Bowl. And

1254
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: I feel like we're moving in that away from that. Yeah,

1255
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I do you have any finance pods you'd

1256
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: recommend for year old? Uh animal spirits? And then Josh

1257
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: Brown the dude on CNBC has a thing called The Compound,

1258
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: which they're part of two Uh. It's a podcast I

1259
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: think they put out on Fridays and they have a

1260
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: they have a YouTube channel, the Compound. I I I

1261
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: love all their stuff. It's just it's very easy to

1262
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: take in. You know, you don't have to be, you know,

1263
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: a Wharton school grad to understand what they're saying. It's

1264
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: basic market stuff, housing market. Love it. I can't recommend

1265
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: it enough. I consume it all. I don't think that's

1266
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: necessarily true. I mean, to win a Super Bowl with

1267
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: all defense, I'd even say in the last several decades,

1268
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: like you had to have a great defense Bears two

1269
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: thousand Ravens, right, Uh, some of those Seahawks teams. But

1270
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: you can the Titans, Derrick Henry took them to the

1271
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: NFC an FC Championship Game two years ago. The forty

1272
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Niners had Jimmy Garoppolo took him to the Super Bowl.

1273
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: They had one of the best defenses in rushing attacks

1274
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: in the league. You have to be a lead at it.

1275
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: You gotta have an elite defense or an elite rushing attack.

1276
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: But it can be done. If the Titans had a

1277
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: good defense, they would be Super Bowl contenders. They're still

1278
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoffs. I think sometimes we overreact,

1279
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: but it's it's always been a quarterback league in my

1280
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: youth in the nineties, Like when I came into my

1281
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: own as a sports fan. Troy Aikman, Troy Aikman, Steve Young,

1282
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman, John Elway, Brett or Brett Farve, John Elway,

1283
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: John Elway, I mean, those those were all the quarterbacks

1284
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: who want super bowls in in my youth in the nineties,

1285
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: and even before that, it was like Montana, Phil Simms

1286
01:05:55,280 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Bears Montana, right, So it's uh, uh, you just it's

1287
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: it's always been a you gotta have a great quarterback.

1288
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: The forty Niners were a slight favorite to win the

1289
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: NFC West and the Arizona was the fourth favorite. Right now,

1290
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: they have as good of a chance to win the

1291
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: West as the Broncos due to win the a f

1292
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: C West. The Raiders, for context, already without their head coach,

1293
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: currently have a better chance than the forty Niners to

1294
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: be division champs in both West. Feels like the top

1295
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: two teams are separating themselves, But is it fair to

1296
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: say that Vegas public season over embraced Shanahan, does Cliff Well,

1297
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: I think the Vegas things easy. Derek Carr's a quarterback,

1298
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: leave like the Niners quarterback Jimmy wasn't that good. And

1299
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: then Trey Lance is a rookie and his first start

1300
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. Cardinals Kyler Murray has been awesome, Like

1301
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: Derek carrs played like a top ten quarterback. When you

1302
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: get top ten quarterback player, you're gonna be good. But

1303
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders are the third best team in their division,

1304
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: right Chiefs or Chargers? Chiefs Raiders? Like we saw the

1305
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Chargers in Raiders play, and the Raiders aren't better than

1306
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So but it's it's quarterback. Sean mcveigh's got

1307
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: mass effort. The reason the Broncos are fucked because of

1308
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, the Niners, the Jimmy Garoppolo Trey Lance thing

1309
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: is not ready to go. I just think it's pretty basic,

1310
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: you know. The reason the Chargers are awesome as they

1311
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: have Justin Herbert. The reason the Ravens kick, everyone asked

1312
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: they got Lamar Jackson. The reason the Bills are kicking,

1313
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Everyone's asked, they got Josh Allen Titans are like an outlier.

1314
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: They just have one of the greatest running backs we've

1315
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: ever seen. Here was the question, do you think that

1316
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: we're overrating Digs considered he's allowed most yards in the NFL? Again,

1317
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: I think yards allowed is such an overrated stat I

1318
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: just don't think it matters. Now. Did is he gaven

1319
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: up six TVs? That would be a problem. But if

1320
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,919
Speaker 1: he gave up two touchdowns, he scored two and he's

1321
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: picked the ball off five other times, So what else

1322
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: can the guy do? Me a seven picks through six games,

1323
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you can overrate that. That is an

1324
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: incredible Trayvon Diggs has one less catch than Brandon Aiyuk.

1325
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Auk at sixty five catches last year in twelve games,

1326
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Diggs has one less catch than him. Think about that.

1327
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Big fan from Chicago and even bigger fan of the

1328
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: pot appreciated Andrew. What are your thoughts on the Bears

1329
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: being front runner for top tier offensive coordinators like day

1330
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: Ball Kellen Moore. In my opinion, I like day Ball

1331
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: more just because he has coaching experience than someone like Kellen,

1332
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: But I'd like your opinion on how detrimental it would

1333
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: be for a new head coach in the development of

1334
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Well, I know everyone's um, you know, try

1335
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: to write off Matt Naggie. But let's just see he plays.

1336
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Uh he plays the box this week. Not gonna be easy.

1337
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 1: Then he's got the Niners. Uh. If he's fired, there

1338
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: hiring an offensive coach. Now, if Matt n Aggie loses

1339
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,799
Speaker 1: his job, Ryan Pace better be relieved of his duties

1340
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the day before, because under no circumstances can Matt Naggie

1341
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: be fired before Ryan Pace be fired. Now, if you're

1342
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: gonna fire them both, then the question is what do

1343
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: you do. Are you hiring a head coach? Are you

1344
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna hire Brian Dable and let him hire the GM?

1345
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Are you hiring her GM first? So it's to me

1346
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: that's the question you asked before you do the Kellen

1347
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: Moore stuff. Who's being hired first? Do they want a

1348
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: football's are or do they want the head coach to

1349
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: run the draft? Because I don't want my coach running

1350
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 1: the draft. I don't want it. I can't, nope, nope,

1351
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: not me. I want especially Brian day Ball or Kellen Moore. Now,

1352
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: if you get a good, big time GM and they

1353
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: hire that guy. Then I'd be all in. But let's

1354
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: just see Matt n Maggie. He's only three and three.

1355
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: He's got Jessein fields playing good football. Don't write them off.

1356
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening, have a great weekend, um, enjoy some football,

1357
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: Enjoy your friends and family, enjoy some cocktails, chairs, do

1358
01:09:43,280 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: you and take it easy by people. The volume
