13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: you're listening to. Hopefully everyone is. You know. I'm gonna

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: keep this short and sweet because I do believe that

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Memorial Days like basically fourth of July, fourth of July light,

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: So I'd imagine many of you aren't doing much on

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: this Friday long weekends, having some pops on the lake

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: on the river in your backyards, hanging with your family,

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: um and just attempting to enjoy life in uh in

20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: these crazy times that we live in, but UH wanted

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: to get some podcasts out. What I'm gonna do is

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: this podcast. This is Friday if you're listening to and

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: I think we usually do the mail bag over the weekend.

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: But what I'm gonna do is because I don't expect

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: many of you to be podcasting over the weekend. Could

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: be wrong, but I got a pretty good idea I got,

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: I got the metrics on the consumer. We're gonna save

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: it till Tuesday, So there'll be no podcast this weekend.

29
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: There'll be nothing on Monday because that's a Memorial Day,

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: and then on Tuesday will be just the release of

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: our normal football podcast. But it's just gonna be a

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: mail bag version which I recorded before Memorial Day because

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some fun. I'm gonna get after it,

34
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,880

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: actually yesterday. I'm recording this on Wednesday, but I went

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: to forty nine practice and the forty Niners basically we're

47
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: missing every single pro bowler on their team. Nick Bosa

48
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: was working out in Florida, Trent Williams working out wherever

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: he works out, Kittle and Fred Warner either dinged up

50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: not around. Uh, you know George Kittle, I think, as

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned George Kitta, who else was I missing? Uh? Oh, Deebo,

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Samuel hold Out. There's just a lot. All their star

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: players were gone. And I talked to a couple of

54
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: my buddies around the league. They're like, yeah, some of

55
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: our star players are working out in Florida, working out

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: in Texas, working out wherever they work out, and our

57
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: coaches didn't make it's voluntary. I mean, so there's legitimately

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: not anything they can do. Right. Ultimately, if something is

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: voluntary for most of us, right when you're working for

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: someone and someone says it's voluntary, but other people are

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: at the office. You gotta be pretty secure in your

62
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: job to not show up. Like they're all the backup quarterbacks.

63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: They're all showing up for a reason. They don't have

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: the leeway. If you're Deebo Samuel, if you're Trent Williams,

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: if you're Lane Johnson, if you're whoever you know, uh,

66
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and I don't even know if Travis Kelsey

67
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: didn't show up. But I'm just players on that ilk.

68
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: They can afford to take a voluntary minicamp. Just like

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: if you're the number one sales guy at your company, yeah,

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to show up. But if you're a

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: guy whose numbers aren't quite penciling, you better be there.

72
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: It shows up FaceTime. It's part of the deal. Now,

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: with football, it's ultimately a team game. You need the

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: reps iron Sharpen's iron. But I got no problem with

75
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: non quarterbacks not showing up. I I do think it's

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: important for quarterbacks to get rapport with guys they're gonna

77
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: throw with right and the timing up there given offense. Now,

78
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: I would make some exceptions for Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady right.

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I do not put Kyler Murray, who, to my knowledge

80
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: is the one young quarterback really, the one guy like

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: under thirty five who's not at O t A s like,

82
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got your red flag, buddy, but I

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: did well before he held out, because I could have

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: seen him being a holdout guy. And now he's holding

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: out or not showing up or whatever you want to

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: consider it. It's not technically a holdout because again it's voluntary,

87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: but like voluntary, it always met mandatory. Now it's kind

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: of changed because of the c b A a lot

89
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: of credits to the owners. The owners do not They

90
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: don't give a shit about the off season. You know why.

91
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: They don't make any money. The only thing they care

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: about is the fall because the TV and the games,

93
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: that's where they print their cash. It's where they all

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: make their money. And they gave in the players, like

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: we don't want everything voluntary. You can't force us. They're like, cool,

96
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: no problem. The coaches and GM's don't love it, but

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But ultimately my point is

98
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: if you're someone on the bottom of the wrung, whether

99
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: you're in the NFL or whether you're in a company,

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the moment someone is missing and they need you to

101
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: fill in for their job, like I'm a Niner practice

102
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is nowhere to be found because he wants

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: to contract. Coyle is pretty confident that they're gonna get

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: it worked out, So am I Like he's gonna he's

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: not going anywhere, so he'll eventually show back up. But

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: when he's gone, Trey Lance, who's gonna be the starting quarterback,

107
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the backup wide receivers, Jown Jennings, who's the third guy,

108
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: their rookie? They can just trap it in the third round.

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Danny Gray. Get to take all of his reps and

110
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: think about this anytime, especially when you're young at a company.

111
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: I know this. When I got to the Eagles, any

112
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: opportunity they gave me, I took right, said no. No.

113
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Different than I when I worked in radio. The more

114
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: opportunities that just opened up because the guy was on vacation,

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: a guy was gone, I would just take it. And

116
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: that's where I learned to ultimately where I'm at now

117
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: because of all the extra reps that I got. I

118
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: was just there and there's something to be said for

119
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: just when I was at Fresno State one of the

120
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: main rules. Coach Hill had be there. That's it be there,

121
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: like show up when you're supposed to show up, and

122
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: for a young guy, you have no choice. But it

123
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity to get in front of the

124
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: coaches because once training camp starts, it's really about who's

125
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: making the team and how do we get ready for

126
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: week one. Well, this time it's pretty lax like it's

127
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bullshit and going on. You know,

128
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: I just stood there and bullshitting with John Lynz for

129
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: like ten minutes, just because it's not is cutthroat, right,

130
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: it's much that the coaches are in good moods. It's

131
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for young players, rookies, second year guys,

132
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: guys that have been on the team for several years.

133
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Is backups to take these reps and just get in

134
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: guys in the coaching staffs and the front office is

135
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: good graces and it was lead to more opportunities when

136
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: the fall comes. It's why so many undrafted free agents

137
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: make teams because they get put on the map in

138
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the spring. It's like, damn, we might have something here.

139
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Now you don't truly know whether it's an undrafted free agent,

140
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: or whether it's your second round pick, what he's gonna

141
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: look like when the pads come on, and and then

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: there as once we get to training camp. I mean,

143
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: there are several levels levels of camp. Right, there's just

144
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: you come in and shape, then do you know the playbook?

145
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: And then are you ready to roll? And then when

146
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: the pads come on, can you handle just your own team?

147
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: And then once you get to the preseason games, there's

148
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: all these different steps on the ladder that you have

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: to take. But this, it's late May, this is where

150
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: we're at. And I just saw and I know it's

151
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: no different and that the other thirty one teams that

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: it's an incredible opportunity and incredible time for a young

153
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: player to put himself on the map for a coach,

154
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: because like listen, most teams are gonna be excited about

155
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: their top three round picks, right, those were picks they've value,

156
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: Those were guys typically they wanted, and they're excited. And

157
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: sometimes you're like, I'm interested to see what the sixth

158
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: rounder looks like. Then all of a sudden, if maybe

159
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: you're running back is injured, that guy gets to rep

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: maybe not with the ones, but with the twos. Then

161
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your offensive coordinator, if your head coaches,

162
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: the play caller goes, god, I kind of like this guy,

163
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: and then you're more inclined to get an opportunity come

164
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: the fall. And when I see the fall, I mean

165
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: training camp, and training camp is really when you put

166
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: yourself in the mix to get playing time, because if

167
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: you're excelling in training camp and you get to mix

168
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: it in the preseason games, you're gonna get to play

169
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: early on in the season. Now then it's a completely

170
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: different level, obviously, but right now is when you build

171
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: the base and I if I'm a young player, I'm

172
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: doing everything humanly possible, taking every to every rep I

173
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: possibly can. And if the star players in my unit

174
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: or in my group are gone, I'm running through a

175
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: wall to try to get playing time. Because football is

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: not like these other sports. Right in baseball from for

177
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: the most part, maybe the ships teams once you go

178
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to spring training, like you know, twenty two of your

179
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: man roster going into the season. In the NBA, most

180
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: teams have like one or two spots open. Maybe I

181
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: mean the Warriors, now I know they've been one of

182
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: the better teams in the league have had like one

183
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: swing spot open for half a decade. Now. Some of

184
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the shittier teams may have too, but it's not that

185
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: many spots in football. Think how many jobs are open

186
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: we talk right now about the job market. There are

187
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: all these jobs open, they can't get anyone to take it.

188
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: Every single NFL team, you know, at minimum, probably has

189
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen jobs up available. Like some of those

190
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: jobs they you know, if you ask the coach, he'd

191
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: say they have a starter. But that doesn't mean that

192
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: guy is not replaceable once camp comes. Because once you

193
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: start factoring in salaries, if a rookie goes god, this

194
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: guy is equally as good. He costs you know, three

195
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: quarters less. So it's it's a very unique sport that

196
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: way that there are so many positions up for grabs.

197
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: In hell, if you're just an undrafted free agent or

198
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: a tryout player, if you do well in this time

199
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: of year and just put yourself on the map with

200
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: the coaching staff in the front office, that might just

201
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: lead to a practice squad spot. And we know practice

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: squad spots in the middle of the season when guys

203
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: get injured turned into you know, dressing on game day

204
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: and turned into real checks and then maybe you make

205
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: some places and then you get a contract. It's things

206
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: happen fast in the NFL. The other thing that stood

207
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: out to me is I saw all around the league

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: guys are injured, right Guys that end of the season

209
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: trade as White, Khalil Mack, you name it, Guys that

210
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: got hurt during the season last year. And right now

211
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: once they get on the field, that o t s

212
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: and the media is allowed out there. Most of the

213
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: coaches say he'll be ready for training camp, and most

214
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: of us know, yeah, I can't wait for training camp.

215
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: And a large majority of those players will end up

216
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: on pup. It's just just usually how it plays out.

217
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: Half of them will be ready for camp, the other

218
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: half will get eased into camp. And I'm always fascinated

219
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: right now everything because every coach besides like Belichick will

220
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: get to him here in a minute, is very happy.

221
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: Right now there, they're in great moods because they're working

222
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: like seven eight hour days, they're playing golf, they're working

223
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: four day work weeks, it's sunny outside, there's no pressure.

224
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: They get to do what they really love, and that's

225
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: teach football. So you gotta take what a lot of

226
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: guys say with a grain assault when it comes to

227
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: the guy's availability. I mean, one thing Belichick mentioned yesterday

228
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: was and he was asked it was it was funny.

229
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: He's wearing a Celtics hat, you know, in the interview

230
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: room and they go, Bill, will you basically will you

231
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: announce the play caller? And he goes, what are we

232
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: call him? Plays in May? And it was funny, and

233
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: you know the way he said it with gruff and

234
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: kind of angry and grumpy, but also Bill, like, why

235
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: are you so afraid to name your offensive play caller

236
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: like that? That's insane. We can go to every single

237
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: team in the league and name their offensive and defensive

238
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: coordinator every single one college football too. This isn't some secret,

239
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, during the season. I understand when guys won't

240
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: talk about injuries, even though I do think it's stupid.

241
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get it competitive advantages, competitive disadvantages. I understand

242
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: why the media is not allowed at practice during the season,

243
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: because they were to report scheme stuff, they wouldn't be

244
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,479
Speaker 1: able to help themselves. I do not understand why Belichick

245
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: can't name his offensive coordinator, but I do because he

246
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really have one, and I'm telling you, I can't

247
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: get over the fact like that's a major problem, Like

248
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: it just is now. It didn't bother me as much

249
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, because he's the

250
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: greatest defensive mine in the history of the league. But

251
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: like Bill, Bill, while he's impacted the offensive game plan

252
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: for his entire career, is he gonna end up having

253
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: to be the offensive coordinator. I just can't get over

254
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: that they're going into the off season depending on Joe

255
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Judge or Matt Patricia ultimately becoming the play caller. That's

256
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: just that. That seems, honestly like one of the craziest

257
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: stories in the history of the Patriots. For all the

258
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: crazy ship that's come out into Flake Gates by Gate

259
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: you name it, you know, Orchids of Asia with old Robert,

260
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: this one, to me is one of the bigger head scratchers.

261
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Like you told me Robert Kraft, seventy five year old,

262
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: super rich guys going to Arkans Asia. I'm not shocked,

263
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: you tell me Bill Belichick's taping signs. Not really shocked.

264
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: You tell me Tom Brady is doing something with the balls,

265
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Like clearly that was pretty overrated. You're telling me Bill

266
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: Belichick doesn't have an offensive coordinator in the middle of

267
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: may or know for a fact who it is. I'm

268
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: sorry you could argue that's the craziest thing that's happened

269
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: to the Patriots in a long, long time. That's insanity.

302
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,840

00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: are just a stalwart for consistency. They don't lose. Tomlin's

307
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: never had a losing season. It feels like obviously they

308
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: go through assistant coaches. But in terms of the GM,

309
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: Culvert has been there a long time. You know, before that,

310
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: it was Coward, then they transition to Tomlin. The Rooneys

311
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: are just one of the staple owners in sports named

312
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: the new general manager. And there were lot of rumors

313
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: who it could be where they go outside the house.

314
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Not shocked at all to see them go internally, And honestly,

315
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: if you're a good business, whether it's you know, you're

316
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: running like uh an insurance company, or whether you're running

317
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: an NFL team, you should always be grooming people to

318
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: take over spots like that should be part of the deal.

319
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: So when I saw them interviewing all these people, I

320
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: was like, I'd be a little surprised if they don't

321
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: have an internal candidate, because now we've heard about oh

322
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: more con who got the job for a long long time.

323
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: He's been interviewing with outside jobs for as long as

324
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: I can remember. But when I saw that he was

325
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: in the mix for this job, I just assumed that

326
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: he would end up getting the job, you know, because

327
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: in theory he would have such an advantage in his

328
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: rapport with the coach, and the most important relationship in

329
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: an NFL building by far when it comes to management,

330
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: is your head coach and the general manager. So clearly

331
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: they are, and I mean this in a positive way,

332
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: in cahots together. They are, you know, hand in hand.

333
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: Their success is gonna be tied at the hip. And

334
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: then I've always heard I don't know him, I've never

335
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: met him, but he's more of you know, contract negotiatre

336
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: analytic guy, even though he has intermingled and crossed over

337
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: with the football which I think has become much more

338
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: commonplace over the last ten plus years of the cap guy,

339
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: the numbers guy, and the football front office being all

340
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: at one, and that's how it should be. Uh, the

341
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: cloak and dagger stuff, I mean that works with New England.

342
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the most successful way to

343
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: run a business. And when you hire a guy like this,

344
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: you do need a strong football person with them. And

345
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: they go and they get Andy Widel from the Eagles

346
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: to be the assistant GM, who's a longtime Raven guy,

347
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: who was Joe douglas right hand guy when Joe Douglas

348
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: got the job in Philadelphia, and who has worked for

349
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: Howie now for several years since Joe left. So that's

350
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: a good hire. And he's from Pittsburgh. From what I've

351
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: been told, he's a good football guy. The only thing

352
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: that I wonder what the Pittsburgh Steelers and I and

353
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: I do think that their reign of just consistently being

354
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: in the playoffs might come to a screeching halt. Is

355
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: the third most important guy at the coach and the

356
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: general manager are your most important relationship. The most important position.

357
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: We all know what that is. You know it's it's

358
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: within a year or two, it's gonna be the highest

359
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: paid position in all of sports. I mean, Aaron Rodgers

360
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: making fifty million dollars a year. I mean, there's not

361
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: a guy in the NBA making fifty million dollars a year.

362
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: There's not a guy in Major League Baseball making fifty

363
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, and in several years, there's gonna

364
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: be some quarterbacks making sixty seventy million dollars a year.

365
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like what those guys making European soccer.

366
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: And I just don't think they have one of those guys.

367
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't see it. With Kenny Pickett. I think they

368
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think they drafted the wrong guy because

369
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't into drafting any of the other guys, but

370
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: I think they forced a need. And I think sometimes

371
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: when you do at especially when you draft a guy

372
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: in the first round, you're gonna end up giving him years.

373
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna get four years, like Mr Bisky,

374
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: it was pretty clear, probably within two and a half years,

375
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: like Mitch ain't it. But the Bears had no choice.

376
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: They wrote it out for all four years and it

377
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: cost him. And when you draft a guy in the

378
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: first round, you write it out for all four years,

379
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: that's where the big differences. And like even just past

380
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: pick thirty two, it's so much easier to pivot. Look

381
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: at Drew Lock with the Denver Broncos, like they tried,

382
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: it didn't really work, and they pivoted off it. I'm

383
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm even talking before they traded him to the Broncos.

384
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Like last year, he couldn't even win the job. It

385
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: just didn't matter because just that being a second round guy,

386
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: that contract number, that cap hit, not having that fifth

387
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: year option, you just look at it dramatically different. I

388
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: think Daniel Jones, now he was drafted higher than picked twenty.

389
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: He was drafted six, But let's face it, he's gotten

390
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: probably more time than he definitely would have got if

391
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: he was a third round pick and he would have

392
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: end up starting as a young player. Oh I do

393
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: just wonder what they stand for. The consistency, uh, always

394
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: grooming people, always just having high level people around is

395
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: really really impressive. I'm not a Steeler fan by any means,

396
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: and I respect the ship out of their brand, out

397
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: of what they stand for. When you close your eyes

398
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: and you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers, I've been to

399
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: games where the Steelers play, and they in California and

400
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: they sell out with Steeler fans there are a lot

401
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: like the Packers. Their brand is incredible, especially for it's

402
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: not like they're one of the major cities in America.

403
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: But I and I and I listen, I'm gonna assume

404
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: this guy knows what he's doing. Obviously Tomlin knows what

405
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: he's doing. But I do think the quarterback situation is

406
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: eventually going to bite them in the ass. They had

407
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good thing going with the big fellow for

408
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: a long period of time, and we've seen the kinks

409
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: in the armor the last several years when he's either

410
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: been hurt or not played that well. They have been

411
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: very you know, uh pedestrian, you know, in terms of

412
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: a franchise, and it's just very, very hard to win

413
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: because you look at the Ravens, same type thing. Ravens

414
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: have had consistency, hardbo has been there forever. Ozzy was

415
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the GM for a long time, like Colbert obviously he

416
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: was the GM a little longer, and then they transitioned

417
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: to an internal candidate candidate in DaCosta. But the reason

418
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: it works in Baltimore is not because they draft well,

419
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: it's not because they got really good players, because they

420
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: found fucking Lamar Jackson. If they hadn't found Lamar Jackson

421
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: all their roster, it would be irrelevant. They would be

422
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: a seven eight win team. But because you have Lamar Jackson, obviously,

423
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: when he's healthy they're gonna win double digits. They're gonna

424
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs, period, point blank, end of story.

425
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: So if this guy is not pro Bowl level, I

426
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: do think it's very, very difficult to overcome average quarterback.

427
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's just the seventeenth best quarterback in

428
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: the league, that that's difficult. One thing after the forty

429
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: nine practice, I went to just Kyle's press conference like

430
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes long, and he mentioned they they've gone through,

431
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: They've had several guys the last couple of years get

432
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: head coaching jobs, and obviously Robert Solo last year took

433
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: Laflour's brother. Well, this year, I would say one of

434
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, the hits of the internet is

435
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, because when Mike McDaniel talks, it doesn't sound

436
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: like most football coaches. He's he's got a unique vibe,

437
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: look sound to him. He's just he does not have

438
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: many parallels in the in the profession. And Kyle basically said,

439
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: I miss him. You know, It's it's hard to replace

440
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: a guy who's been my right hand man and who's

441
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: done a lot for me. And before Mike got the job,

442
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: he was becoming kind of a legend around where I live,

443
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: just because when you talk to you know, I remember

444
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: talking to Kyle used check and he used check, swore

445
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: by him, Debo loved him. This guy is brilliant and

446
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Kyle from a coach. Whenever you're super dependent on a guy,

447
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: that to me, that's always impressive because that guy is

448
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: bringing value to you that you value as the play caller.

449
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: So Mike McDaniels, Mike McDaniel is not McDaniels that Josh McDaniels.

450
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel. What he meant to Kyle Shanahan and they've

451
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: won four playoff games in the last three years was

452
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot. But one thing that's fascinating is like now

453
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: he gets to become the head coach, and I'm always

454
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, coordinators who become head coaches, we've seen constantly

455
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: they fail that there is no guarantee just because you're

456
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: the smartest guy in the room and just because you're

457
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: the best schemer that you can be a good head coach.

458
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: Think how much more pressure there is on someone. And

459
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: McDaniel wasn't even the play caller. He was just like

460
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: Kyle's right hand assistant who helped him draw a place

461
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't even calling the place, so he technically didn't

462
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: even run half the team, even though when Kyle was

463
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: doing head coaching stuff he did. But like we we've seen,

464
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer is a great example. We've seen him. Remember

465
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings, how good he was. He got

466
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: his set an opportunity in New York and was completely

467
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: over his head. Had no business being a head coach

468
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: because being a head coach means so much more than

469
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: just scheming up a guy open. You gotta be relate

470
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: to whatever side of the ball that you're not from.

471
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: You gotta be related to those guys and they they

472
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: have to feel like you have their back. And then

473
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: when times get really tough, because let's face it, adversities

474
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: get a hit player gets a d u I, a

475
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: player snaps his leg, you lose a game, something weird

476
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: happens with an owner, assistant coach gets in trouble or

477
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: gets sick. Who knows. I mean, we could, I could

478
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: give you a million examples of things that happened that

479
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: you have no clue, you can't prepare for. Can you

480
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: handle that? And I think, and I've always believed this,

481
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: there's something too when a guy walks in the room

482
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: because he feel like a head coach. And in my experience,

483
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: Pat Hill had it, and obviously Andy Reid had it.

484
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: And you know, people would say, well Belichick didn't have

485
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: it in the early eighties, but eventually he figured it out.

486
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: And he's a guy probably closer to McDaniel in terms

487
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: of he hangs his hat on his brain right now.

488
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: McDaniel is much more like modern day quirky wearing easy's.

489
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: He feels younger, but he's gonna have to hang his

490
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: hat on his brain because he's not gonna be walking

491
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: the room and own it. He ain't Mike. Mike Grabel

492
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: walks in the room. You gotta stay at attention. When

493
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: I used to go to Jim Harbaugh practices and Vic

494
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: Fangio and those guys, you just kind of stand up.

495
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: You just wanted to be on your p's and ques.

496
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: You wanted to be on your best behavior. Listen. I

497
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: don't think he was the greatest head coach, but even

498
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio. Jack del Rio had a feel to him.

499
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: And if you can scheme and you have the feel,

500
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: you can win big in the league. If you can scheme,

501
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: and then eventually with winning like Belichick. You gain that credibility,

502
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: you can become a really good head coach, but you

503
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: gotta be able to excel at one immediately. And to me,

504
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: McDaniel is just it's gonna be a fascinating case in

505
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Miami because the one thing that's not gonna go away

506
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady. Does Tom Brady want to play for

507
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: them next year? And if McDaniel and those guys don't

508
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, he ain't gonna play for that guy?

509
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: And what if he tells Steven Ross all come and

510
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: then they get Sean Payton. So there is for a

511
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: guy that just got a head coaching job, it's a

512
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: really big deal. He inherits the team that's won nineteen

513
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: games the last two years. There's gonna be pressure on

514
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: him to be competitive right to Basically, I would say

515
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: this year he's got a better team on paper than

516
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: Belichick does. But there's obviously he's not a better coach

517
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: than Bill. But can he just out talent them? Can

518
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: he outscheme him a little bit? Can they win more

519
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: games than the Patriots? You know, because one thing Brian

520
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: Flores and most Miami coaches have always done is they

521
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: they beat the Patriots split with him. The Patriots have

522
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: always always lost a random game to Miami, So to me,

523
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: he wins six seven games, Like, I don't think it's

524
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: out of the round possibility. He's a one and done.

525
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: You know, Robert Salo is a guy who has a presence,

526
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: who has a vibe to him. But last year I

527
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: watched his team, they couldn't stop a soul and he's

528
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. So, you know, just just because you

529
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: have a presence doesn't mean you're gonna be awesome. And

530
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: just because you're a genius doesn't need mean you're gonna

531
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: be awesome. It's what makes being a head coach so difficult.

532
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: That's why when you think about it, even college and pro,

533
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: there's a small list of guys that are actually good.

534
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: But it's not. It's if it was an easy job,

535
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: we'd have a lot more stark coaches. You know that,

536
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: There's a reason Sean McVeigh stands out between the you know,

537
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: most guys, right, because most guys can't coach, most guys

538
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: can't win. Most coordinators have no business being head coaches.

539
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard to lead, it's hard to have

540
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: people depending on you. So it's something I work on

541
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: I got people that I work with now I try

542
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: to try to become a better communicator. You know, it's

543
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: it's something that's been a work in progress to me.

544
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't come natural to everybody. And uh, I'm just

545
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: fascinated to see Mike McDaniel, who everyone in the forty

546
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: Niners building would tell you he's one of the smartest

547
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: guys to ever come through there. And we've had some

548
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: of the best coaches in the history of the league

549
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: come through there, and I I just it's to me,

550
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of got a boom or bust, like they're

551
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: either gonna be make a wild card this year or

552
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna work. And it might be somewhat

553
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: out of his control. Maybe TWA sucks. But you know,

554
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: at one point in time everyone thought tank for Tua.

555
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: I never tried to believe that. I was like, you know,

556
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of small average arm plays a lot of talent,

557
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to play like Monday Morning quarterback.

558
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said I didn't like Lamar Jackson or

559
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, So it's not like I'm the the Yoda

560
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: here when it comes to quarterbacks. But it's it's it's

561
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a sneaky pressure pack team. I actually think

562
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Miami Dolphins have a lot like

563
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: to me, the Jets, you can't win four or five

564
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: games again, like it's time to get to seven or eight.

565
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: It's time to compete. Just going into December, like, couldn't

566
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: we make a wild card? You don't have to make

567
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but you gotta be like alive come a

568
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: little before Christmas. You can't be dead at Halloween, you know. Obviously,

569
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: same with Miami because those owners have unlimited cash and

570
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: they're not just gonna sit around. Let's fly around the

571
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: NFL a little bit. One thing, as I'm recording this,

572
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Kaepernick is working out for the Raiders. Ultimately, my take

573
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: is that I've said for a while, Mark Davis is

574
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: under a lot of heat. I think they're coming for

575
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: his team, and everyone thinks they're coming for Dan Snyder's team,

576
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: which they are. But Dan Snyder has fought people off

577
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: for decades now. He's Dan Snyder's a self made might

578
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: be a scumbag, might be everyone hates him, but I

579
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be harder to get out than the

580
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: people on the internet assume. I don't believe that about

581
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: Mark Davis. I think they're doing everything possible to get

582
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: him out. And then Jon Gruden is going to court

583
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: right now with the NFL, and John Gruen does not

584
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: need money. John Gruen's worth hundred million dollars easy. This

585
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: is about principle. This is about thinking that he got

586
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: royally screwed by the league when they were going after

587
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Dan Snyder and he became the example. He's going after

588
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: them to try to like as an ego thing. So

589
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on, and stuff might come out

590
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: about the Raiders in that there's a lot going on

591
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. This to me feels like you're trying

592
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: to keep people off the scent because you can't convince

593
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: me that the Patriot guys Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler

594
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: would work this guy out. He hasn't played in the

595
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: league in six plus years. I to me, this feels

596
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Mark Davis and and like a pr stunt. Uh. Sam

597
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: Donald claimed he uh can be a great quarterback. I

598
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: feel strong. Uh, let's just try to become a solid quarterback.

599
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: Just try to become a starting quarterback. But you gotta

600
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: have confidence, and sometimes it's hard to tell, like if

601
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: if things haven't been going well in life, you can

602
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: try to manipulate your brain and tell yourself like false

603
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: things to try to pump yourself up, or you know,

604
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: some people are crazy enough to truly believe it. I don't.

605
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what Sam Donald is, but clearly his

606
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: confidence was shot. The Panthers were a disaster. Some people

607
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: DM me like Middlecoff. You keep saying Sam Donald's good.

608
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: I've been watching him. He's terrible. I'm not even a

609
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: Jets fan or a Panther fan. He has not been

610
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: good in the NFL. I I am. I have never

611
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: said that what I've seen has been impressive. It has not.

612
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: Now maybe I'm holding onto the guy that I saw

613
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: in college and the guy that I thought could become

614
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: a solid NFL quarterback. I never thought he was gonna

615
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: be some superstar, but clearly, I mean I envisioned him

616
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: being better than this. Uh. This is a huge and

617
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: I said it earlier this week, massive month for Sam Donald.

618
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: He has no competition around him. The only other guy's

619
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: a rookie. You know, Jimmy Garoppolo and Baker Mayfield are

620
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: not on his team yet, so Ben McAdoo has no

621
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: connection to the failures of last year. He gets to

622
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: start over fresh. Ben McAdoo as a history as an

623
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator of being successful, not as a head coach,

624
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: but as an offensive coordinator. So I I think he

625
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 1: can resurrect just his his career internally in that building.

626
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: Now whether that translates to good play in the fault,

627
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: but I do think he has an opportunity to kind

628
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: of solidify himself as the starter for the team. Uh.

629
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, like Deebo Samuel absent for O T S.

630
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't blame either of them under no circumstances. If

631
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: I was either of those guys, am I taking a

632
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: full speed rep. Now, if you wanted to do a

633
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: hold in, show up and not do anything, I don't

634
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: think that would be crazy. If you don't want to

635
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: show up at all, totally get that too. Have no

636
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: problem with either guy not showing up. This is big

637
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: boy business. This is this isn't We're not playing for

638
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: three grand. Both these guys are making You know, A. J.

639
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: Brown just got what fifty million guaranteed twenty million million

640
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: dollars a year twenty four I can't even remember what

641
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: contract was, but it was big, Like that's when you're

642
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: talking that type money. I would never take another rep

643
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: until I got pen to paper. So I don't think

644
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: if I was representing either one of those guys we are,

645
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: we might come to mandatory minicamps so we don't get fined.

646
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm just here so we don't get fined, but we

647
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: we aren't doing one I repeat one rep until we

648
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: sign our contracts. And I do think it's incumbent or

649
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: important for the franchises, the football team, the Commander's Commandos

650
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: and forty Niners to get the same same deal with

651
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Seattle in d K to get a contract figured out.

652
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: I gotta get these guys under contract because they're two

653
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: valuable players. They're too good of guys you love. I mean,

654
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: I've seen I'm not a huge I don't follow the

655
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: football team that close, but I think I follow him

656
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: on social media some of the clips that come out,

657
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: like he's clearly a leader on that team. I obviously

658
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: no debo around here people. He is beloved. He's like

659
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: the heartbeat of the team. So I I signed good guys.

660
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: They are great players. That's there are no brainers to me.

661
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: I actually don't mind even slightly overpaying relative to the market,

662
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: because their market is not what the older guys just got.

663
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Davante have a much longer resume, but

664
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: their market is a j Brown and I wouldn't hesitate

665
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: giving either one of those guys those contracts and uh

666
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: yeah and start rocking and rolling, because once training camp starts,

667
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: I gotta have those guys. You know, I got Carson Wentz,

668
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: Trey Lance breaking in new quarterbacks, my star wide receivers

669
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: I need under contract, and I need to repping in

670
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: practice is not one of the situations where it's an

671
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: eight year VET and he's been working with a quarterback

672
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: for five straight years. Both these guys need to get

673
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: on the same page as the quarterback if I if

674
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: I want to win, Matt Stafford not throwing. The Rams

675
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: got a good get deal going. You know, they just

676
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: trade their first round picks for veteran guys. They don't

677
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: make anyone do anything. It's like stap your your shoulders

678
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: are hip, man, take spring, Go to Cabo do you

679
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: even need to be here? Go to Hawaii, Go go

680
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: to Europe. Do you don't do whatever? Man, We're just

681
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: we're good. We'll see in camp, and then even in camp,

682
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: you just you won't play any preseason games the Rams

683
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: as long as you win, and they've been winning. They

684
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: got a good thing going. A lot of chilling, a

685
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: lot of relaxing. All the reps are going to undrafted

686
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: free agents in these practices. Mcveigh's running around screaming to people,

687
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: and the star players just get to chill. So now, listen,

688
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: they said his shoulders a little sore. They played late

689
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: in the season. He's an older player. He's to me,

690
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: he's doing it right, Like that's he's still there. I'm

691
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: why wouldn't want to be there. He's in l A

692
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: and you know that. I mean, listen, I don't blame

693
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: Rogers for not showing up, like if I'm Aaron Rodgers

694
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: multiple time m v P. But I do think it's

695
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: like they just gave you a hundred fifty million. You

696
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: make fifty million dollars a year. There's got to be

697
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: a give and take in a relationship. Like if Colin's

698
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: paying me fifteen million dollars to host a podcast, eventually,

699
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: like I can't just always do my own thing. If

700
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: he's paying me fifty grand, I can push back if

701
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: he's paying me seven million dollars, Like, I can't just

702
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: be like Colin, I'm only gonna do it on my time, Colin,

703
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna do this Like. There are price points

704
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: in this world where there's a give and take. You

705
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: can't expect your employee making ninety grand to go above

706
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: and beyond with everything. But if you're a small business

707
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: and you're paying someone seven hundred thousand dollars, fuck, your

708
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: expectations are gonna be pretty high. If I'm the paying

709
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: If I'm the Packers and I'm paying you fifty million

710
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: dollars a year, the highest paid player in NFL history,

711
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: you deserve it. But I'm still cutting you the check

712
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: you can throw up for O T S. It's just

713
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: a couple of days a week. Hell, we'll even give

714
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: you the private We'll fly back to l A or

715
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: wherever you want to go. It's like, come on, man, likes,

716
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Um? Okay, let's let's end

717
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: on that. Let's enjoy themmoral day. Have a great weekend. Um,
