1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: What's going on everybody? John Mittlecock Three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Another week the NFL is finally here. You know, I'm

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Colin Coward podcast network. Huge

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: show this week, Absolutely massive show. One of the biggest

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: trades I've said in the NFL. But I really thinking,

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: in my thirty three years of life, soon to be

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: thirty four and not very far away, about a month away,

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: uh Khalio Max is one of the biggest professional sports

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: trades of my lifetime. We'll get into some of the

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: college football, you know happenings of last weekend of just

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: an incredible weekend, basically Friday night right until Monday. It

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: ended with a Monday night game. The Monday and Sunday

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: night games weren't great, but they felt really big on television.

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson Truthers, I think need to somewhat wave the

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: white flag. Pretty embarrassing preseason Get out by r G three.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Get beat Out by RG three. Will dive into that

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: some of my sleepers and eats division, and then you know,

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: I'll get into the little cooff mail bag. You can

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: hit me up clearly on iTunes. Just go into the

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: review section, leave a question and I will get to it.

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: Also rate and review that bad Boy, and then you

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: can also slide up into my d M s um

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Same thing as Instagram, but my d ms

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: on Instagram at John Middlecoff or wide open. He slide

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: up in those d M and I'll get to it.

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: I think we have to start with this though. Like

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I said, I think it's one of the biggest trades

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: in sports history for several reasons. One, Jon Gruden has

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: become one of the more polarizing figures in all of sports.

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: Even before he took the Raider's job, his fame probably

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: outweighed his coaching ability. He became more famous than he

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: is a coach, and now he's both. He's super famous

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: and he's a coach. But I also think Khalil Mack

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: and I there's so many different variables with this. I

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: really don't even know where to start. Just simply teams never,

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I repeat, never, trade a player of this caliber with

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: a player of this character in the prime of their career.

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: It just does not happen. I have texted countless executives

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and coaches around the NFL and they're flabbergasted. They're shocked,

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: but we all knew the moment Aaron Donald's contract came

41
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: out at eighty seven million dollars and the forty million

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: dollar bonus, the Raiders were not going to pay it.

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Whether you believe like myself that financially they couldn't afford it,

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: or if you believe that John Gruden just wasn't in

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: the pain in that and he even said like we

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: weren't going to go to that number? Well, John, what

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: what number are you gonna go to? Then? Just with

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: any player? Like what do you think? Because Michael Lombardi,

49
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: who I respect and I listened to, he's got podcasts

50
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: and right now for the athletic I I want to

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: dispel a notion here and in a narrative that I

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: think has taken on kind of in a life of

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: its own. Bill Belichick does not pay anybody. Now that's

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: not true. Actually he's paid countless guys. I went to

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: a spot track. It's where you can find the money

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: that NFL players get. Gregkowski has been the highest tight

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: end multiple times. Now again it's all relative. He's never

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: paid a defensive player twenty plus million, but he's never

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: had a guy worthy of paying that that did not

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: have a red flak that's on or off the field.

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy made a ton people forget, and I hear

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: this all the time. He traded Chandler Jones. Chandler Jones

63
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: walked in naked, Say this out loud, walked in naked

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: to a jail high on in synthetic marijuana. And listen,

65
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm not a marijuana hater. You can smoke all you want.

66
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: I live in California, have been around in my entire life.

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: It's now legal. It is now no different. Actually you

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: might even you might only have to be eighteen to

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: gain I don't think you have to be twenty one.

70
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: So it's basically like to BACKO, that's what marijuana is

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: in the state I live in. But he walked in

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: in a place where it wasn't legal, naked, high on it.

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Say that out loud and say would Belichick resign that guy?

74
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: Of course not. He traded him for a second round pick.

75
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, Taylor Jones kind of shows you

76
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: the market. It's not like Belichick was getting a first

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: round pick for the guy. Logan Mankins, once upon a

78
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: time made the highest paid gourd. Say it out loud,

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: gord In the NFL. If you are a high character

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: ass kicker like Khalil Mack, like Gronkowski, like Logan Mankins,

81
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: he'd pay you. Remember last year he traded Jamie Collins. Yeah,

82
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: he traded Jamie Collins because Jamie Collins wasn't listening to

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: the coaches, so they shipped him out of town. I

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: do believe that Khalil Mack is the type guy Belichick

85
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: would build around. I've seen him do it. Logan Mankins,

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: He's probably not a Hall of Famer, but he's a

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Hall of damn good. Gronkowski hall of famer. Sign those

88
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: guys next year, Amark cop Like, what's gn Gruden gonna

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: do with the Mark Cooper? Now, Amark Cooper is coming

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: off a down year, but I think we all and

91
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to expect him to bounce back.

92
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: He should be between a ninety to a hundred catch guy,

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: get eleven to twelve hundred yards and double digit touchdowns.

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: That's what Amari Cooper should do. Well. If he does that,

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is gonna go again. It's just the market.

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Whether you work in sales and the going rate for

97
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: your job is grand, Well, if you're really good at

98
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: your job, you you're gonna want grand right, It's all relative.

99
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: If the going rate for my job is fifteen million,

100
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: and I'm way better than the average guy, I'm gonna

101
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: want eighteen million. That's again. Sometimes we freak out, How

102
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: could he turn down fifty million dollars because he's worth

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: seventy You know, how could Khalil Mack not show up? Because,

104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: as John Gruden said, they were not going to go

105
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: to that number, and he knew the market. Do you

106
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: know what the market was? Several teams willing to pay

107
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: him ninety guaranteed I wouldn't work either. You wouldn't either.

108
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: This is not this is not a charity. This is

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: a business. I've heard over and over and over from

110
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: people on Twitter, and I listen to anyone that listens

111
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: to this show. I'm not pro player, but I am

112
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: pro Khalil Mack. I am pro Aaron Donald. As I

113
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: was texting with an executive other day, I said, how

114
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: many players, non quarterback would have fetched anywhere near this?

115
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Right before I recorded this one of these stories. Adam Schefter,

116
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: best probably NFL reporter in the history of NFL reporters,

117
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: tweeted out that Dallas offered a second round pick in

118
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Seattle turn them down, and that's embarrassing for Seattle, Like, hey, guys,

119
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get anything better than that, But that

120
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: shows you. Earl Thomas one of the best, the best

121
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: safety in the league now a little older, can't I

122
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: mean second round pick. That's as high as you're gonna get.

123
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Levian Bell. You couldn't get a second round pick for him.

124
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: You know. Luke Keickley, he's one of the best linebackers

125
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. I don't know if you'd get a

126
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: first form just because the concussion issues. As an exact

127
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: text me, like von Miller. Von Miller had been suspended

128
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: and had torn an a c L that's when they

129
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: made him go to a fifth year option. All the

130
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: high character, sweet players, they all get extended in the

131
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: in Khalil's time by the team that drafts them. Earl

132
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: Thomas his first contract, Patrick Peterson, Luke Keikley, Fletcher Cox,

133
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. You build a round high character as kickers.

134
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: So this notion that the Raiders, like, no one gets

135
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: rid of that guy. And here's the other thing I

136
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: keep hearing, you could never have multiple players make it

137
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: over twenty million, Sure you can if one player is

138
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: the best defensive player in the league, which for my money,

139
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: Khalil is, and if the other players are quarter back.

140
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: Now you can't have two players making twenty million if

141
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: ones a receiver and the other's a linebacker. But if

142
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: one's my quarterback, who I expect to be a pro bowler, which,

143
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, if Derek is not a pro bowler

144
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: this year, it's a massive disappointment for Gruden and Derek.

145
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: He better be good, and I think he will be good.

146
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Like to me, the Raiders don't have excuses. On offense.

147
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: They should still, you know, light up teams like a

148
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Christmas tree, But defensively, the expectations with Khalil gone are

149
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: out the window. But if you go, well, John, you're

150
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: a general manager for the day. You have to pay

151
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: two guys. Who are the two guys you pay? Of course,

152
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: we all picked the quarterback first. Who would be the

153
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: second guy you'd want? You don't want a pass rusher,

154
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: And if I told you, well, most pass rusher as

155
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: a little crazy, you got some red flags, you'd be like, well,

156
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: it's part of the deal. Well, John, I actually got

157
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: this one guy. He was a top five pick. Just

158
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: an incredible human, one of the highest character guys in

159
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: the league. Uh, team captain, you know, all pro multiple positions.

160
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: You'd be like, uh, you're making this. That guy doesn't exist. No,

161
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: he's he's you know, broke his foot in the past,

162
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: he's torn a shoulder, he's he's been popped with some

163
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: marri Ja Wana. No, actually he hasn't. He's been a

164
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: model citizen, never been injured, never missed the game. You're like, no,

165
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: this is too good to be true. No, it's His

166
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: name is Khalil mac That's why the Bear easiest trade

167
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: they've ever made. And then on top of that, because

168
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: I crushed the Bears a year ago when they traded

169
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: up from three to two to get Mitchell Trabisky as

170
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: he likes to be called, or his mom likes to

171
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: call him Mitchell, You call him Mitchell. And they gave

172
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,239
Speaker 1: up so much to move up one spot, and ultimately,

173
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: if Mitchell becomes a top twelve quarterback, it was worth

174
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: it because you gotta get your quarterback. But I still

175
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: don't love the trade because the Niners would have taken

176
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas the two and you could have just taken

177
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: him at three but I do think, as what was

178
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: famously said in a movie, just when I thought you

179
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: couldn't get any dumber, you go and totally deem yourself. Well,

180
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Pace double middle fingers up to all the haters, goes.

181
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Not only did I just land the best him er

182
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald coin flip, I take Khalil Mack, I get

183
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the Aaron Donald crown whatever best top two defensive player

184
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: in the league. I also received a second round pick.

185
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: I got the the Raiders second round pick in two

186
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: thousand twenty, and in the all the Raiders die hards

187
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: that are defending this it's a pick swap middle cough.

188
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: As I was texting yesterday with someone in the league,

189
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I said, think about this. If next year the Bears

190
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: go ten and six and are a wild card team

191
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: this is two thousand twenty and the Raiders go four

192
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: and twelve, They're just a dumpster fire. That that pick

193
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: swap the Raiders could, I mean the Bears would get

194
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: like pick I don't know, thirty eight, thirty nine, thirty seven,

195
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: and that Bears pick could be eighty. Who the hell

196
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: does that? I mean, it's just it's it's insane. Anyone

197
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: that's ever negotiated anything, and again back to all being

198
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: a relative, whether you're negotiating a hundred thousand dollar salary,

199
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: a million dollar deal, a fifty million dollar deal. I've

200
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: had experience with this with smaller deals. I'm not making

201
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: million dollar deals, but I've negotiated some fairly high deals.

202
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, again relative to myself. Probably people listening have

203
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: negotiated much higher deals. And whatever business you work in,

204
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: you know seven figure deals. Hell, if you work in finance,

205
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: which I know my listeners are smart, sore many you do,

206
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: maybe even eight figure deals. The most powerful thing you

207
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: can do in a negotiation when you have the leverage,

208
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: So if someone's coming after you for a job, if

209
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: someone wants to buy your house, if someone wants to

210
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: buy your car, whatever it may be, no matter how bigger,

211
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: how small the purchases, when it's I think this works

212
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: and it's always worked in relationships too. When you say no,

213
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm not interested, if the their party is really interested,

214
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: it only drives the price up. Why, because you have

215
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: the leverage say no, hang up, even if you ultimately

216
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: want to get rid of that asset. In this case,

217
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: it's Khalil Macki In that example it's a I don't know,

218
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: a building, a hotel or your house. Whatever. You say, No,

219
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: if you have the leverage, which one the Raiders did,

220
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: why because they had Khalil Mack, you should dominate a transaction.

221
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: It is the ultimate seller's market, the ultimate seller's market.

222
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: It's like the Bay Area probably two years ago, you

223
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: were just giving away crap for millions. I mean, I

224
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: trust me. I bought a condo a couple of years ago,

225
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: slightly overpaid. Now it went up, but still I was

226
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: in a I was in a position. I was in

227
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: a disadvantageous position to take advantage of a lower price.

228
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: I had to overpay if I wanted a place. It was.

229
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: It was what it was, you know. And it's no

230
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: different than when I bought my condo in the Bay

231
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Area two years ago. There was a line of twelve

232
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: people making aggressive offers fifty thou dollars over asking, well,

233
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: isn't that pretty similar that six or seven teams? I

234
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: think Peter Schrager reported on Good Morning Football the other

235
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: day that like six teams made legit offers. I know

236
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: the forty Niners made a legit offer. I'm not gonna

237
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: say what they offered because you know, I wouldn't make

238
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: everyone suber happy if the player knew. But you know

239
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: it was out there. It's not out there. I just

240
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: know what was offered. It was strong from what I've

241
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: been told. I know the Packers were strong, the Jets,

242
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. The offers were strong, and they gave a

243
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: second round pick. It's just it's one of those things

244
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,239
Speaker 1: in a trade of that you've ever seen. It's insane.

245
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: It is beyond insane. It's crazy. Tweeted this out a

246
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: couple of days ago that there's a reason that coaches

247
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: for the not named Bill Belichick do not make good

248
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: general managers because, like I just said, in negotiations, part

249
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: of saying no right is having patients. It's just being

250
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: able to say no and maybe go a couple of

251
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: days without talking. Part of being a good negotiator. I've

252
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: not negotiated that many things, But the older you get,

253
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: the more just negotiations you're in, you realize you kind

254
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: of have to be patient unless money means nothing to

255
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: you and you can just like buy it. Right. Most people,

256
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: even most successful businesses that have a lot of money,

257
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: don't rush to make payments. Well, it's like the Raiders

258
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: rushed to sell Khalil mack as someone in the league

259
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: text me, if if you were gonna, if you if

260
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: it was this ultimate seller's market, what was the rush?

261
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: Why do you have to do it Saturday? Couldn't you

262
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: have done it Sunday? Couldn't you have done it Monday morning?

263
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: The Bears offer was not going away. They wanted him

264
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: desperately texted with my boy, Matt Naggie. He is doing

265
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: cartwheels right now down the hall. Here's the other advantage

266
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs, or I mean not the Chiefs, but

267
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: the Bears had Matt Naggy, unlike the forty Niners, who

268
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners somewhat unique because they're down the streets, so

269
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: they've seen a lot of Khalil Mac. But the Bills,

270
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Packers. Matt Naggi has been the offensive

271
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: coordinator Khalil's entire career so far in the NFL in

272
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: Khalil's division, so he's played him eight times. Khalil has

273
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: never missed a game, so he's played in every game,

274
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: meaning that Matt has game planned against him. Also, when

275
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: you play in a team's division, you just see a

276
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: bunch of the player on cross tape. You know who's

277
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: really good in that division, You're just exposed to him

278
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot more. It was a massive advantage for the Bears,

279
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: so much easier for Naggy to give the thumbs up.

280
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: So quote unquote, will overpay? How are you overpaying for

281
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: a player that never would have become available in free agency? Why?

282
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Because that player never becomes available in free agency? Luke

283
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Keikley ain't becoming available in free agency four years into

284
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: his career. Old Thomas not becoming available four years into

285
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: his career. I checked Julius Peppers. When the Chicago Bears

286
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: made in the highest paid defensive end, I think it

287
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: was two thousand ten. The Carolina Panthers did not get

288
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: rid of him four years into his career. Do you

289
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: know how many years he played in Carolina? From O

290
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: two to oh nine, I'm all four. I get players

291
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: ending their career on different teams, but after four years,

292
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: that's insane. That is crazy. I don't care that you're

293
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: paying your quarterback million. The cap is rising at exponential rates.

294
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: The here's the other thing, Khalil max uh cap number

295
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: this year is not that crazy. Next year is when

296
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: it jumps. Well, what did the Raiders have. Next year,

297
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a lot of flexibility because then get

298
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: rid of other players. John Gruden coaches are so impatient,

299
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: so stubborn. I'll never ever think this move was smart.

300
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: No team, and I repeat, no other of the thirty

301
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: one teams. And I'm throwing Bill Belichian in. This gets

302
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: rid of Khalil Mack, a player that checks every box

303
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: on the field, every box off the field. Going into

304
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: year five just not happening. Maybe you're seven, maybe you're eight.

305
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: Not this year. No chance on God's green Earth this happens.

306
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: Let's let's dive in really quick. To my main man,

307
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, that there were five quarterbacks last year selected

308
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: in the first round. I thought I had it to me.

309
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen and Sam Donald were on a different level

310
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: than everyone else. I thought Josh Rosen's skill set translated

311
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: the most. Sam Donald has this special equality. I'm a

312
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: big Baker Mayfield guy. I think he's gonna be a

313
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: really good pro. I would not have drafted Josh Allen,

314
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: who I'm a little nervous, we'll see you. I think

315
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: he could make me pay. But still feel pretty good

316
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: about that. And Lamar Jackson I wouldn't have touched Lamar

317
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: Jackson with a ten foot poll Twitter in a couple

318
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: and this is a lot of draft analysts on Twitter,

319
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: people that I think do it for a living, kept

320
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: telling me he's QB one, Lamar Jackson q B one.

321
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: I heard it for six months and just if I

322
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: had hair, I'd want to rip it out of my head.

323
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't take it. I said, guys, do you guys

324
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: watch the NFL? Have you guys watched even the great

325
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: running prospects, Like, do you guys do comparisons? Do you

326
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: realize that Michael Vick? I know Michael uh Set tweeted

327
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: out last year I think during the Lamar Jackson game

328
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: he was a better prospect, that Lamar was a better

329
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: prospect than himself, And the moment he tweeted that, I

330
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: just thought to myself, like, Michael, you're wrong. You were

331
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: an infinitely better prospect the hand Lamar Jackson, you were thicker,

332
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: you had a better arm. I thought you were a

333
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: little more explosive. You were just a better prospect. That's

334
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: not even arguable. R G three, who wasn't quite as

335
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: good of a prospect as Michael Vick but was on

336
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: a different level than Lamar Jackson under zero circumstances. Was

337
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson the top ten pick as the market played out, Hell,

338
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: he was not a top twenty pick. He went the

339
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: last pick of the first round. But I think when

340
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: you see that r G three, speaking of RG three,

341
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: did not was not involved in the NFL last year.

342
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: He did not play a game or was on a

343
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: team for the in the NFL in two thousand seventeen,

344
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: think about that did not play, was just gone? Was

345
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: sitting there with the new Nike spokesman, Colin Kaepernick out

346
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: of the NFL for a season. I think a lot

347
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: of people thought his career was over. I kind of did.

348
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: I was like, God, RG three is a shot, He's done.

349
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: And then the Raven sign r G three, You're like,

350
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: WHOA didn't see that one coming. Thought it was just

351
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: a flyer. He would be long gone. Hell, he might

352
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: not even make a training camp. Then I remember the

353
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: first couple of preseason games, You're like, damn, RG three,

354
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 1: he does not look terrible, especially relative to Lamar. And

355
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: then it comes out when the big cuts happen that

356
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: they keep three quarterbacks, and you go, well, before you

357
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: even look at the depth chart. You go, well, RG

358
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: three is probably not the third stringer. It turns out

359
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson, Twitter's favorite player in this draft could

360
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: not beat out Robert Griffin, the third who had been

361
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: out of football for a season, who was easily one

362
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: of the most made fun of players in the NFL

363
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: on social media, and rightfully so. RG three came back

364
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: and beat him out. What does that say, I'll tell

365
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: you what it says. Of course he did. Lamar Jackson

366
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: was completion percentage guy in college. In college, he can't

367
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: complete basic routes within the pocket. People make such a

368
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: big deal about his running plays, his running touchdown in

369
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: the preseason against Miami. Who cares, honestly that that is

370
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: not a sustainable attribute in the NFL. He might this

371
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: year if they play him in some special package. You

372
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: have a ninety yard run for a touchdown. Great. That's

373
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: why people thought he should play a skill position, because

374
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: if you do that, let's getting the ball in your hand.

375
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: We don't want you throwing it. Why. Because you don't

376
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: complete passes, You can't beat out RG three. You cannot

377
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: beat out RG three. Josh Rosen, the backup, Baker Mayfields,

378
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: the backup Josh Allen's the backup. Sam Donald's a starter.

379
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the third stringer, the third stringer. Why

380
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: because he can't complete passes. He's not accurate. He's an

381
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: elite athlete, a special athlete. That's why going back. Should

382
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: they give him a try at quarterback? Of course, but

383
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: this talk about trying him at different positions was never crazy.

384
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: He's not he's not. It doesn't. Skill set does not

385
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: translate two thousand eighteen. Hell any year quarterback in the NFL.

386
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: He's not accurate. He is not accurate. If you can't

387
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: complete passes, you can't play in the NFL. Here's the

388
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: other problem. As a running quarterback, if you are going

389
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: to be mobile, which he definitely is, you have to

390
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: avoid hits. Slide like not not Ricky Henderson style face first,

391
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: but like a normal baseball player slide. Guess what uh really?

392
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Michael Vick RG three struggle with this, and Lamar Jackson

393
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: definitely doesn't. They can't slide well. When you dive head

394
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: first going to the ground, what does that allow defenders

395
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: to do hit you? What happens when you get hit,

396
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: you get hurt. So you're not accurate and we all

397
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: know you are going to get hurt. You will not last.

398
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: Not only would I not have bought this stock slash

399
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: drafted him, I couldn't short Lamar Jackson any harder right now.

400
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: I just can't ever see him being a good NFL

401
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: player at quarterback. Like, come on, guys, he couldn't beat

402
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: doun RG three. Raise your hand if you were Lamar

403
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Jackson truther and admit this is pretty embarrassing. This is

404
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: a borderline joke. It would have been a joke if

405
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: we would have said, God, RG three is gonna beat

406
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: out a first round rookie quarterback, we would have made

407
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: fun of that guy. So we deserve to make fun

408
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson a little bit. He could not beat

409
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: out RG three, one of the most undertalked about because

410
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: no one on Twitter wants to have a go all

411
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: over their face embarrassing moments for a high pick in

412
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Couldn't beat out Robert Griffin

413
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: the third. Okay, but before I get into some of

414
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: my my sleepers, uh in each division, I gotta bring

415
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: up something in college football. I am a believer that

416
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: some people don't like it. I don't mind it. The

417
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: preseason rankings that are basically off nothing. You know, typically

418
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: the big programs, the Texas, the Notre Dames, especially the

419
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: last like ten years, have consistently been overvalued in the polls.

420
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: But I get it. You gotta have a poll. It

421
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: creates interests, it helps the sport. I'm for it. I

422
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: am not against it, even though I know you're gonna

423
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: miss a lot of the time. But I do think

424
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: after the first week, you have to be able to

425
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: adapt immediately and completely change everything. So once we have information,

426
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: you gotta be fluid, quick on your feet and adapt.

427
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: And I think what we really struggle with now more

428
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: than anything in life. And you see this now because

429
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: corporate America has never been more powerful. Uh, analytic movements

430
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: in all of sports have never been more powerful. That

431
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: we want to quantify everything. If we can't can't quantify it,

432
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: we won't talk about it. Because here I got news

433
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: for you. There's a reason a lot of people in

434
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: sports right now love racial topics, love controversial topics about

435
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: the president or or Colin Kaepernick, because they can't talk

436
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: about sports. You know, like, I got into this and

437
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: I'm doing this and I plan on doing this. I

438
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: still love watching games a lot of media members, especially

439
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: older media members, despite having never made more money, they

440
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: don't really like the games that much anymore. And you

441
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: you you know who it is when you listen to them.

442
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about they can't talk about sports,

443
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: they don't know anything. They love the polarizing issues because

444
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: it's easier to talk about that than you know, why

445
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien went forward on third down, you know why

446
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: Bruce Bocci brought in the reliever. You know in the

447
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: seventh inning, why Steve Kerr left fessis Zelian in the

448
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: in the you know, game seven. Now, the best guys

449
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: can talk about that, but you see a lot of

450
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: new age people, a lot of older people that are

451
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: just down on sports for whatever reason, would much rather

452
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: not talk about that. I still like talking about the

453
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: games because I can watch a game and just see things.

454
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't need to look at a box score. I'm

455
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: not anti stats, but I don't need to quantify everything

456
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: to have an opinion. Like I can watch a player

457
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: in all three sports and have an opinion. Now, the

458
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: baseball people crush me because I'll say something and they'll

459
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: be like, well, his war fip and schmip don't equal.

460
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: He is not a good player, Like, well, i'm watching him,

461
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: he's pretty good, or vice versa basketball. You can still

462
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: have the conversations and football, we definitely can. But in

463
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: college football, like I, I can watch the first weekend

464
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: and go, L s U is the top five team.

465
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: It's not even debatable. They haven't had a quarterback. It's

466
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: that good since JaMarcus Russell and their defense is elite,

467
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: Like that's that's an elite team. Uh, Like I don't.

468
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: I don't need an eye test to know. Like Notre

469
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: Dame that's the top five team after one week. They

470
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: should be a top five team. I'm sorry, USC probably

471
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in the top twenty. And again I'm a

472
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: pack twelve Homer Oklahoma. That's top two or three team

473
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: in the country. Alabama number one by a mile, but

474
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: they were already number one. My issue most people had

475
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: L s U somewhere between fifteen and twenty. If you

476
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: don't have them in your top five right now, the

477
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: exercise wasted again. We have games. Now, we have games.

478
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: I just watched it with my own eyes, like Florida

479
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: State to see you get it get out of the

480
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: top twenty five. You're you're a joke, you know, Miami.

481
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: I see, I give Miami a little more credit because

482
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: they got blown out by a team that I think

483
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: is the top five team. It's why Washington. I got

484
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: no problem leaving Washington in the top twelve fifteen. Like

485
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: they went toe to toe in the South against Auburn,

486
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: who again top five or six team, Like there's there

487
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: are five or six teams to me on a completely

488
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: different level. I'm not throwing Wisconsin there yet. Alabama's the

489
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: best team by a country mile. L s U to

490
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: me would be the number two team in the country

491
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: because their quarterback plays like that. They're beating everyone, including Oklahoma.

492
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: The Oklahoma is not beating that l s U team

493
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: if the quarterback plays like that with that defense, Ohio State,

494
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: I probably have them three, Clemson four, you know L

495
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: s U right there, five, Notre Dame right there. Six.

496
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean again, like numbers two through seven or two

497
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: through six, no particular or but I can take away

498
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: the first week. Yeah, that teams winning a blot of

499
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: games like L s shoes beating you know, like the

500
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: average Pack twelve or Big ten team would not be

501
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: able to score on them would not be able to

502
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: move the ball. They would destroy them, like they would

503
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: leave just like a random team like Arizona or Texas Tech,

504
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, or you know, just just throw out your

505
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: run of the mill. At Boston College they leave them

506
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: in body bags. It would not be a fair fight.

507
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: But I think that we get so caught up. Well,

508
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: they were only fifteen, so we can only move them

509
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: up to ten or eleven. No, like they were only

510
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: they were fifteen. They had a decent win, So just

511
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: leave them there. No, Like I'm sorry, US season just average,

512
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, relative to USC. To me, the only Pack

513
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: twelve team like to me, Stanford fringe top twenty five team.

514
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: Washington is the only team that could make a legit

515
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: argument to be in the top ten twelve teams like

516
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: the SEC right now is on a completely different level.

517
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Why because they have good quarterback play to kid at Auburn,

518
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: kid at l s U. We know the Georgia quarterback

519
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: last year, the freshman from is good South Carolina guy

520
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: looks pretty solid. That they just have good quarterback play.

521
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: They've always had the athletes that there's a reason the

522
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: highest paid scout works in the SEC. There's a reason

523
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: that you spend more scouting resources as an NFL program

524
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: or organization in the South, you spend your time in

525
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: the South. Basically every year, every organization is represented at

526
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game. Why because that game typically has

527
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: like fift NFL players. Hell, if you want to include

528
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: underclassman guys, they're gonna be nfls the players the following

529
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: year it's got like forty. I mean, how many NFL

530
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: players do you think like Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Ole, miss

531
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 1: have on them combined? You know how many NFL players

532
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: does the University of Arizona or in state Washington State

533
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: have it on a combined five? And again, I'm a

534
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: pack twelve homer. These programs are on a different level

535
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: from a talent standpoint. Now, the one knock has been there.

536
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: Coaching has been average. I know Colin Coward talked about

537
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: it a lot. They've had a bunch of gym teachers

538
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: besides saving Now, I'm not the biggest Eddie Oh guy,

539
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: but his talent is undisputable. It's why if you just

540
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: get a guy that you know can walk straight and

541
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: chew gum at the same time as a head coach,

542
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be really competitive. It's why l s U

543
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: with Les Miles, who's closer to Eddie Oh than you

544
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: want to think. Uh, they want a lot of games

545
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: for a long time. They're getting Beside Alabama they get

546
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: the most talent. It's there's four or five programs that

547
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: are on a completely different level recruiting wise, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson.

548
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: Phil Savage once famously told me ran the Senior Bowl

549
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: former NFL GM. Do you know what Florida State not

550
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: as much this year, but when they were kicking ass

551
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: with Jimbo and definitely now Clems and you know what

552
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: their biggest advantages They get SEC players, but they have

553
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: an a CEC schedule, Like they're not playing Alabama's in

554
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: the SEC West right now, in the SEC West, Alabama's

555
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with l s U, have to

556
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: deal with Auburn. We know Texas A and M's pretty solid.

557
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Like the did you watch Old Miss against Texas Tech?

558
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: And again I think text Texas Joe Cliff Kingsbury really

559
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: good looking guy, average coach. Old Miss had dudes everywhere.

560
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, where do they find these

561
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: human beings? Mississippi State last year was the top twenty

562
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: five team. Now they do have a new coach, but

563
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: the guy they hired was like with the best offensive

564
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: coordinator in the country from uh from Penn State. Like,

565
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I watched Penn State. They lost sa Kwan Barkley.

566
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: They don't have a front seven that sniffs any of

567
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: these teams in the SEC. And I like the Big

568
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: Ten before the season started, I question it now Harbaugh

569
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: struggles adapting with running quarterbacks. He's kind of cot in

570
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: the middle of I don't think he quite knows what

571
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: to do on offense. Defensively, they're really good, but you

572
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: know they're not beating an SEC team. Hell, they just

573
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: lost last year to who beat him was South Carolina

574
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: beat him in the ball game. South Carolina is like

575
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: the seventh or eighth the best team in the SEC.

576
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, if you can't adapt on

577
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: the fly with the eye test after week one and

578
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: just go well, they're a team to keep an eye on,

579
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: well that they stink. And I'm not saying like overreact

580
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: because like to me, Michigan, I'm not Michigan ain't leaving

581
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: the top twenty five. In my mind, they're gonna win

582
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: ten games based to have a ton of talent. But

583
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: if you can't see that, like L. S U and

584
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: Notre Dame are elite teams. Again, that there is a

585
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: team at the top of the mountain that's just far

586
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: head and shoulders above everyone else, that's Alabama. Then there's

587
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: just a group of five or six seven teams that

588
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: are just to meet right there that on any given

589
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: day could beat any given buddy. And what they would

590
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: do to the middle of the pack teams in the

591
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: Big Five, they would kill them if they want to play.

592
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: And I think L. S U that they're my team

593
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: that I have circled. Did if they play like if

594
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: their quarterback plays like that, watch out? Okay, last thing

595
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: before the Middlecoff mail Bag thought of this this morning

596
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: and NFL season kicks off. If you probably a lot

597
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: of people probably listen to this Thursday, so Thursday night,

598
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: but most of the games are on Sunday, and then

599
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: we got a couple on Monday. I wanted to go

600
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: through every division, and we we've talked a lot about

601
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: who's really good in the NFL, But let's pick a

602
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: sleeper in the division that wouldn't totally shock me, not

603
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: necessarily if they won the division, but they're like legit

604
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: in the playoff race late in the season and becomes

605
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Now there is one division. I don't

606
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: necessarily have one, but I'm gonna fly through them. Keep

607
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: this quick, keep this fast moving. Let's start with the

608
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: a f C East. I think the New York Jeffs

609
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Sam Donald really solid defense, are gonna be good. Now.

610
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: When I say good relative to what they've been the

611
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: last several years, I could see them winning seven eight games. Now.

612
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: They don't have many offensive weapons. That is a concern,

613
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: but that's part of Sam Donald's deal, like part of

614
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: what is gonna make Sam Donald. And I think why

615
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles went with him as a starting quarterback because

616
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: he can make something out of nothing. Here is the

617
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: ultimate wild card. And I've been saying it over and

618
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: over and I'm not rooting for this to happen. But

619
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: the Patriots are one Brady broken ankle away from being screwed.

620
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean they would be in major trouble. It would

621
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: be game over. And then I think the Jets, because

622
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be competitive. Todd Bowles has proven a couple

623
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: of years ago. Remember when they went ten and six.

624
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: They missed the playoffs. That he can just coach a

625
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: solid team and he's never had anyone even close to

626
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. Now again, Sam Donald one officially the youngest

627
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the history of the NFL. Little skewed

628
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: stat because only really in the last ten years have

629
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks really started starting from day one. But I'm

630
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: telling you, just watch the New York Jets this year.

631
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: I do think there's somewhat of a sleeper in this league,

632
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: and a team that is not a team that's ascending.

633
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: The arrow is pointing up a F. C. North. I've

634
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: been talking about him from the jump since I started

635
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: watching Hard Knocks. They have a legit roster and that's

636
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Tyrod Taylor made the playoffs last year

637
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills that had

638
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: a terrible roster. They had like two blue chip guys,

639
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy in the first round corner they took from L. S. U. White,

640
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: the kid that uh uh that growk late hit like

641
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: to me. Other than that, they had a bunch of

642
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: average guys. They had nothing, and they made the playoffs.

643
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: And this year Tyrod Taylor gets a much better team,

644
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry Nadoku, the running backs that they have. Defensively,

645
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett looks like a star. They got Jamie Collins.

646
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: They drafted Denze Award in the first round, held not

647
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: in the number four overall. They have talent on that team.

648
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland Browns. I don't know if Hugh

649
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Jackson's good or not, and that's a huge wild card here,

650
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: but if he does a good job this year, would

651
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: they go eight and eight again? Tyrod Taylor went nine

652
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: and seven last year with a team that doesn't sniff

653
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: the talent on this squad. I just think the f

654
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: C North's not very good. Uh. The Bengals actually look

655
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: good in the preseason, but I'm counting the Bengals out.

656
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm not at all a Baltimore Ravens guy. Steelers got

657
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: some weird ship going on with Levian Bell. I just

658
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: think the Browns are a team that are gonna win

659
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: some games this year that they definitely have not won

660
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: in the last several years. The f C South, this

661
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: is a tough too, you know, tough one to pick

662
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: because Jacksonville was, you know, arguably a three or top

663
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: three or four team in the All the NFL last year,

664
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: really taking it to New England in the in the

665
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game to that fourth quarter. But

666
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: I think they kind of come back to earth. Look

667
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: at their skill guys, Marquis Lee going down, uh, Allen

668
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: Robinson left. Now, he wasn't playing last year because he

669
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: had torn his knee. But still, I mean, they they've

670
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: us a lot. They're very dependent on the Letter four

671
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: net now. Their defense is elite. But I think they

672
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: come back to earth. The Colts, I just don't like

673
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: their roster. You know, he just I can't trust him

674
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: getting staying healthy. I think the Deshaun Watson hype is

675
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: so strong. How does he ever live up to it?

676
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: He's coming off a torn a c L. I went

677
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: to this team's practice in O t A s. Their

678
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: roster is good. I've seen it firsthand. Their roster is good.

679
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: I believe in their general manager. I think their head

680
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: coach is really good. And I just think top to

681
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: bottom they have premium players that basically every position. If

682
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota can just have a solid season, not like

683
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: last year and not even as good as two years ago,

684
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: just play like a top twelve quarterback, this team should

685
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: win ten or eleven games. I think the Titans. I

686
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: don't think the Jets win the division. I don't think

687
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: the Browns win the division. I think the Titans can

688
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: win the division. Honestly, I kind of expect them to

689
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: win the division. I like the Tennessee Titans in two

690
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen to win the division. The Denver Broncos. The

691
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: Raiders aren't shambles. They just traded their best player. The

692
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: Charges are of chargers. They consistently blow games in just

693
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: weird fashion. I love this guy, but I've watched the

694
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: last couple of years in big moments. Philip Rivers somewhat

695
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: shipped the bed. Last year in the Kansas City game,

696
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: he was terrible. He was got off and that was

697
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: a must win situation. And I know it was a

698
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: Saturday game, but he was terrible on a defense that

699
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: the Kansas City that's not very good. Kansas City is

700
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: so young. They have Pat Mahomes. I love Andy. I

701
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be really competitive this year. Honestly, it

702
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't totally shock me if Kansas City wins the division.

703
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: But I think Denver is gonna sneak up on some people.

704
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: Case Keendom last year with a great team surrounding him,

705
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: proved to be a very competent quarterback. They've added one

706
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: thing that made that people don't talk about. Uh and

707
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: I watched the firsthand because I covered the Raiders so closely.

708
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: Is what made Denver in those defenses so special. Von

709
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: Miller was the Khalil Mack four years ago, the best

710
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: pass rusher in the league. He also had a friend,

711
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna go to the Hall of Fame,

712
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Ware who even in his later stages of his career,

713
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: was really good. Well. They added Bradley Chubb now to

714
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: go with Derek Wolf inside. Their defensive pass rush is

715
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. Bradley Roby, Chris Harris Jr. They still

716
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: have good defensive backs. Royce Freeman starting running back to

717
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: go along Emmanuel Sanders looks healthy for the first time

718
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: in a couple of years. The Marius Thomas is not

719
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: about second wide receiver. This team is gonna be competitive

720
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: if fans. Joseph can just be solid as a head coach,

721
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: not the head coach last year that looked a little

722
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: bit overshead, but just solid. I think the Broncos can

723
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: sneak up on themselves. Look how they're they're they're Their

724
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: schedule starts starts with Seattle in Denver. Seattle's got some

725
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: weird stuff going on. What if they win that game,

726
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: then week two they'd have the Raiders coming in off

727
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: a short week because the Raiders play Monday night football.

728
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: Who I I think starting too and oh is not crazy.

729
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: And if you let a team like Denver just get

730
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: a little momentum, why why couldn't they be a wild

731
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: card type team. The a f C is down NFC East.

732
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: I've been saying all along. The Washington Redskins, a Lex

733
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: Smith has proven that if you just give him a

734
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: solid team, that team is going to be competitive. That

735
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: team will more than likely make the playoffs. I think

736
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: Washington's front seven is excellent on defense. I think offensively,

737
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson is one of the more underrated players in

738
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. Last year he was crushing it before his

739
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: leg snapped. Their offensive line when healthy is really good.

740
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: They got two legit offensive tackles, arguably the best tackle

741
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: combination in the NFL. And again, Alex Smith just brings

742
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: them some consistency. Here's the other thing we talk over

743
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: and over and over about John Gruden. Are we sure

744
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: that John Gruden is even the best Gruden head coach

745
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL? From an offensive play calling standpoint, We'll

746
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: see what John Gruden this year. I know Jake Gruden's

747
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: a big time play caller. I've watched him wheel and

748
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: deal the last several years with a ton of injuries.

749
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: He will score points. I think the Washington Redskins are

750
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna be good this year. A FC excuse me, NFC North.

751
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: This one's a no brainer for me. I think Chicago

752
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: Bears are now a wild card team, big wild card.

753
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: The big question mark is Mitchell Ramisky. No one knows

754
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: how good he is. Hell, the Bears don't even know

755
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: how good he is. Was he worth the second overall pick? Now?

756
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: Did I think he was a first round worthy quarterback

757
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: at coming out that year? Yes, I would have liked

758
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: him more like pick then pick two. But if you

759
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: pick a guy at twenty five, he's still expecting to

760
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: be your starter year two. And if he's on a team,

761
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: now just go around the roster. They got Khalil Mack,

762
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: they got Roquan Smith Fuller, they kept who remember the

763
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: Packers came after him they signed him. Look at offensively,

764
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, Trey Burton from the Eagles, Allen Robinson, Kevin

765
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: White has looked pretty good this year. The kid they

766
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: drafted in the second round, Miller from Memphis, from everything

767
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: I've heard, has been a star. I've known Matt Naggie

768
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: for a long time. He is a big time offensive mind.

769
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: They are going to be competitive. Oh, another curveball for you.

770
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio did not leave. They Vic Fangio one of

771
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinators in the league who now has

772
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of chess pieces to mess around with. That

773
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: they are going to be I would imagine this Sunday

774
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: night Khalil Mack plays snaps. Roquan Smith is not even

775
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: starting yet. Wait till like week five, when Khalil Mack

776
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: doesn't leave the field, when Rokuwan Smith is the starting

777
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, I wouldn't want to play him. The NFC

778
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: South I don't really have one because three of the

779
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: teams made the playoffs last year. I think we all

780
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: had you know, would go on record whichever one you pick,

781
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Atlanta, New Orleans, or even if you wanted

782
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: to pick Carolina, they're all really good rosters. No one

783
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: takes Tampa seriously now that Jamis is just we have

784
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: evidence he's just a scumbag loser. I can't take Jamis

785
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: Winston seriously, you know, so I no one I Tampa

786
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: is not a sleeper because I think they're gonna be terrible,

787
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: even though in theory their roster is not terrible. But

788
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: Jamis being suspended everything that happened with the Uber driver,

789
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: I've just written him off. I've sold every piece of

790
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Jamis stock I've ever owned, and I was one of

791
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: the last guys holding shares of Jamis Winston stock all gone.

792
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: If you own Jamis Winston stock, God love you, but

793
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna lose money. And then the NFC West,

794
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: I think we all acknowledge the Rams probably best roster

795
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Everyone's been picking the Niners since Jimmy

796
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: showed up Arizona. I just I can't take him that.

797
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about their coach, the team. I

798
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: would keep an eye on Russell Wilson is still a

799
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: top five quarterback in the NFL. Defensively, they have a

800
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: culture and that's to hit people in the mouth. Now,

801
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: do they have enough talent? You know? Anywhere near what

802
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: they did three or four years ago. Of course, not

803
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor, Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, go on and on.

804
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, as I'm recording this, officially showed up. He's

805
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: the last of a dying breed and this will be

806
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: his last year on there. They are nowhere nearly as talented.

807
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: But Pete Carroll is a big time defensive coach. He

808
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: coaches that that position, that unit, the defensive backfield, that's

809
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: like his baby. I would not just write them off

810
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: to being really ship and just being a four and

811
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: twelve team. Russell Wilson first off is just too good.

812
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: And then they do have a culture there of toughness.

813
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: I know, we look at last year like they completely failed.

814
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: They were the biggest embarrassment, you know in the NFL

815
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 1: for a good team. They did go nine and seven,

816
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: they didn't go you know, five and eleven. They they

817
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: won nine games. Who's to say they couldn't win eight

818
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: nine games again, which is sure missed all last season.

819
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: Camp Chancellor got hurt, Clave Avrol got hurt. It's not

820
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: like they had those guys last year playing a big role.

821
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: I just keep an eye on Seattle. The two teams

822
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: the week one game that looked terrible six months ago

823
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: that I'm kind of intrigued, Seattle, Denver because I think

824
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: both those teams could make a little noise. So I

825
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: got the Jets, the Browns, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins,

826
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: the Bears, none in the South. In Seattle, just my

827
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: team's maybe not to make the playoffs. I mean, I

828
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: think Tennessee is a lot to make the playoffs. I

829
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: think the Bears probably make a wild card. But Denver, Seattle,

830
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: in Washington teams that like, if they win eight games,

831
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be shocked. And then the Jets, they

832
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: may be a year away, but you watch, they'll have

833
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: a couple of big upsets this year for sure. Okay,

834
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: let's get to the Middlecoff mail bag. You can always

835
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: slide into iTunes, leave your question and I will get

836
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: to it. You can also slide up into my Instagram

837
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: d MS at John Middlecoff. I answer questions on Instagram,

838
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: but I try to pick. If you write Middlecoff mail

839
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: Bag in your question in my d MS, I'll get

840
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: to him. I got three Instagram questions to get to

841
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: but I gotta start because people got mad at me

842
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: before starting with iTunes, So slide go to iTunes if

843
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: you want to and leave your message here or Instagram.

844
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: Either want to work for me, there's a good one.

845
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone has a similar top five quarterbacks Brady Rogers, Rogers,

846
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: Brady Whatever, Breeze, Big Ben, and Russell Wilson. But after that,

847
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: I see guys getting overhyped like Cam and guys getting

848
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: overlooked like Philip Rivers and Matthew Stafford. My six through Tennis, Stafford,

849
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: matt Ryan, Rivers, Wentz, Garoppolo, with a very close tie

850
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: between Stafford, Ryan and Rivers. I would have Matt Ryan

851
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: above both those guys, and I'm not completely sold on

852
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: Wentz and Jimmy yet. Who are my top ten? I

853
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: agree Brady, Rogers, Rogers, Brady Whatever, or you want to

854
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: go those top two to me, Breeze and Russell are

855
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: in some order. Three and four. I'd probably have Breeze

856
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: above Russell and then Big Bend kind of grandfathered in.

857
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: Is hit or miss now more days than not, but

858
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: he's earned it and when he's on, he's he's as

859
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: good as those stop four guys for sure. Uh. The

860
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: next six to ten are pretty interesting. I'd have Matt

861
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: Ryan six, and I know he has some flaws. I

862
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: put last year more on sark than on Matt Ryan.

863
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: I still feel pretty confident with Matt Ryan. You know,

864
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: in a big spot, he can win road playoff games,

865
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: as he did last year in l A. Not that

866
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: l A is exactly like Lambeau, you know, or some

867
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, tough place to play Seattle, but still that

868
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,959
Speaker 1: that was a upset victory. And then if it wasn't

869
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: for Steve Sarkisian, I think they'd beat the Eagles in

870
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: the second round. But I'd have Matt Ryan two. I

871
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: still have Cam seven because I'm not a Cam guy,

872
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: but his highs are as high as anyone in the league.

873
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: When he is on, it's like game over. He's beating you.

874
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: And in that game against New Orleans, they weren't as

875
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: good as the Saints and they ended up losing that game,

876
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: but he was so damn good in that game. His

877
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: highs are super high, and he I thought it was

878
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: just like, Wow, this is this is big boy football

879
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: right here. And that that's why I would still have

880
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: Cam right in that notion. Plus he's done more than this.

881
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: Next guy. Matthew Stafford. I'm a Matthew Stafford guy, but

882
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: I do think his resume kind of speaks for itself.

883
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: He can just do some stupid stuff at inopportune times.

884
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: His talent is inarguable, though, uh And I really hope

885
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: one of these years he makes a run in the playoffs,

886
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: though I think it's gonna be hard, and I'm not

887
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: the biggest matt Patricia guy. Next would be Rivers. I

888
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 1: do think Rivers will slipping a little bit like Eli

889
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: slipped a couple of years ago. Flacco might have been

890
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: not that great. He just had an incredible playoff run.

891
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was unreal, like three and four years ago,

892
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: was playing at just such an elite level. It seems

893
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: like the last couple of years in the biggest spots

894
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: in December, it's like he's just kind of run out

895
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: of gas, uh and just made the Philip Rivers what's

896
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: kind of made him the Tony Romo of the West Coast?

897
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: Just what are you doing? Philip? How are you? It

898
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: feels like every game in December ends with them being

899
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: a game out of the playoff, with the last play

900
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: of the game ending on a pick with Rivers on

901
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: his knees. I love Philip Rivers. I love everything he

902
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: stands for. I've enjoyed his career. I just I would

903
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: put him at nine, but I'd say the arrow is

904
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: pointing down to me. Ten is just a mix of

905
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: all these young guys. I think there are four young

906
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: guys that have a higher ceiling than every other young guy.

907
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: That's obviously Carson Wentz. If healthy, there's no young quarterback

908
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: I'd rather have to me Andrew Lock. I'm just kind

909
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: of throwing him out the window. I don't no one

910
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: knows what we have restructured shoulder. Then after a preseason

911
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: game he got a hurt foot. I just don't know.

912
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm believing that one just kind of be

913
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: in its own little category. So I got Carson Wentz.

914
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: I have Jimmy Garoppolo, Derek Carr, and Deshaun Watson. I

915
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: think we all if healthy, no one would pass on

916
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz if you had a you know, a real

917
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: life GM fantasy draft. I still believe in Derek Carr.

918
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: He was too good in a joke of an organization

919
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: for several years as a young player. He finally has

920
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: a good coach. I think he's gonna have a big season.

921
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, I've said it over and over here is

922
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: just a flat out superstar. I think he's just stud.

923
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: And then Deshaun Watson there's just some kind of like

924
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy there, there's an it factor to him. Though I

925
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: do think the hike this year, coming back from an

926
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: A c L, it's gonna be hard for him to

927
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: live up to it. But I'm of de Shaun Watson guy.

928
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: I think the Texans are gonna be really good and

929
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch him play, so that that

930
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: would kind of be my tent. John, what do you

931
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: think about SC this year? I think you're talking about

932
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: USC fight on. I wasn't that impressed, and now I

933
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: do think. I I have known Tony Sanchez no several

934
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: guys in the UNLV staff. I do think un l

935
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: V is actually better than people think, Like when the

936
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: game was semi close to people like, oh my god,

937
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: you and l V should never be able to hang.

938
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: I could see them win a nine or ten games.

939
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: That win might look better as time goes on. But

940
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: I just think you saw J. T. Daniels. His talent

941
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: is immense, his arm is elite, but he's still a

942
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: true freshman. They're gonna go through growing pains. Uh. This

943
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: week is huge. I mean they play Stanford. If you're

944
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: listening to this before Saturday, I would expect Stanford to win.

945
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: But if J. T. Daniels can go on the road

946
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: to Stanford and beat them as a true freshman, that

947
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: would be pretty incredible. I think it feels like they're

948
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: a year away. Anytime you have a true freshman quarterback

949
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: a bunch of young pieces around him. I think their

950
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: defense a little spotty. I watched their defense and I go,

951
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't quite Colin always uses this word pop.

952
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: I watch Notre Dames defense, I watch l s u

953
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: s defense. I watch Michigan's defense, you know, I watch

954
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: Virginia text defense. It just really pops. I watch USC's

955
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: defense and it's just to me, it just doesn't quite pop.

956
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 1: Like where where are your Roquan Smiths? Where are your

957
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams. I just I don't quite see it. Just

958
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: after one week. Maybe maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am,

959
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: because I want a Pack twelve team to be in

960
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: the mix. But if they don't beat Stanford, they probably

961
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: won't beat Notre Dame. You know, I think they'll beat Texas.

962
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: This is a team that could Arizona State. Sneaky Good

963
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: could probably go nine and three, and then Clay Helton

964
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: would be in trouble. Let's get to a couple of

965
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: the Instagram questions again. If you want, if you like

966
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: doing iTunes, go to iTunes, write a comment in there

967
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'll get to it. Do you worry about Jimmy

968
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: Garoppolos in receptions? Is this gonna be a thing for him? Yes,

969
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: as it's gonna be a thing. Do I worry? No?

970
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: I like a gun slayer. One of my favorite quarterbacks

971
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: ever was Brett Farve. I don't mind throwing interceptions. Throwing

972
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: interceptions means you're aggressive. You are willing to fail. The

973
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: best people in any business, in any life are willing

974
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: to fail. Now, clearly not all interceptions are created equal.

975
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 1: But I can live with picks. It does not really

976
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 1: bother me. It really does not. So Jimmy Garoppolo is

977
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna have picks that Alex Smith would never throw. I'm

978
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: okay with that. I'm gonna live with that. Jimmy Garoppolo's

979
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: high end is dominant, is elite. That's why the Niners

980
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: think they gotta steal in the contract. If he throws

981
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: a couple of picks, so be it. You know the

982
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: way the cookie crumbles. Now, if it's five straight years

983
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: and every year in the playoffs he has a you know,

984
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: three picks and playoff games, yeah, then it'd be a problem.

985
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: But if he throws fourteen picks this year, it's not

986
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna bother me one bit. Is he gonna throw a

987
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: couple of stupid picks? Yes, he plays quarterback. Guess what

988
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators get paid a lot of money. Guess what

989
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: defensive players in the NFL drive nice cars to Why?

990
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: Because they make a lot of money to you know,

991
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: it's not playing in the NFL has hard at quarterback.

992
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 1: The windows are small. It's not like he's got Julio

993
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: Jones and Jerry Rice and Odell Beckham as the three receivers,

994
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: so he's got to be more aggressive. It really doesn't

995
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: bother me at all. I really just could not care less.

996
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: What would be what would be your four cornerstone positions

997
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 1: if you had to build a team. Clearly the number

998
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: one position we all agree as quarterback. I mean, it's

999
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: it's probably the most important position in any business in America,

1000
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: right having if you have an elite quarterback, your business,

1001
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: given the the NFL is a billion dollar business, and

1002
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: these teams were two three four billion dollars. If you

1003
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: have that guy, it trumps everything. Uh so that no

1004
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: one would argue that to me. The second position is

1005
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: somewhat up for debate. It would either be an offensive

1006
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 1: tackle or a pass rusher. I'd probably lean pass rusher.

1007
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 1: Uh a Khalil Mack, von Miller and his Prime, a

1008
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: guy like that that you would just that. I'm okay,

1009
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: there's three or four guys in the league. Really there's

1010
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: probably only three right now, Aaron Donald, Khalil Mack, and

1011
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: von Miller that I would be willing to pay that,

1012
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, I said, yeah, Aaron Don Fletcher Cox. So

1013
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: it would be Aaron Donald, von Miller, Khalil Mack. They're

1014
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: kind of in a category of their own. Fletcher Cox

1015
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: is close, but just guys that I would just absolutely

1016
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: break off. Next would be offensive tackle. Last this is

1017
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go a little outside the reservoir. I don't

1018
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: think many people say this. I would take a middle linebacker.

1019
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: And again that middle linebacker being if I can get

1020
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 1: me a looke Keik. If I can get a Patrick Willis,

1021
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: if I can get a ro Kuwan Smith, the game

1022
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: has changed. The best teams now have running backs catching

1023
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: sixty balls. The best teams now have tight ends. If

1024
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: I can get that Luke Quickley, if I can what

1025
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: I think ro Quan will be of, what Patrick Williston

1026
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: Navarro is that could cover slot guy, that cover a

1027
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: tight end, that cover running. It changes your defense. It's

1028
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: hard to play corner now. The rules are not four cornerbacks.

1029
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: They get called all the time for pass interference. They

1030
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: get called all the time for pass for defensive holding.

1031
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: It's basically an impossible position to pay or play. So

1032
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna pay a premium, am I really getting

1033
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: the results? You can still play linebacker, why because you

1034
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: don't get flagged for playing the run. You can really

1035
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: hit in past defense as a linebacker, really, because you're

1036
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: more covering in space, not necessarily on them like a

1037
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: press corner would be. You can get away with more stuff.

1038
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: And I think Luke Kickley is the you know, beside

1039
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and Khalil mac when healthy. Now he's got

1040
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: this huge wild card of concussions, is the best player

1041
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL defensively, and I think ro Kuan Smith

1042
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be a superstar. Thought Patrick Willis was an

1043
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: all the time difference maker, Ray Lewis, Bryan Luck, those

1044
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: guys changed the game. I really valued the middle linebacker position.

1045
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: I know some people don't and a lot of people

1046
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: that talk about it, but if you can get a

1047
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 1: great one, Bobby Wagner in Seattle is damn good. Those

1048
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: guys are are special. Look what Dion Jones is doing

1049
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. One of the reasons why I think so

1050
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: many people pick Atlanta to be so good, it's because

1051
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: they go, God, you watch that guy play. He covers

1052
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline, he can obviously check running backs or

1053
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 1: tight ends, and then playing the run he makes every

1054
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: other tackle. Those guys are game changers. So I go quarterback.

1055
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: I'd go pass rusher, preferably outside. So more you know

1056
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack or Von Miller than Aaron Donald or Fletcher Cox.

1057
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: But I can live with one of those two guys.

1058
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: Offensive tackle and then middle linebacker the my durn Day

1059
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Last, but not least, can the Rams live

1060
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: up to the hype? What's your expectation for them? I

1061
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: think it's pretty simple. I've kind of come around. I

1062
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: think they can live up to the hype. Their roster

1063
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: is just too good. They have too many premium players.

1064
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: I I've just found myself. I was a hater. I'm

1065
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: a millennial, but I was like, there's no way a

1066
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: guy thirty one years old and coach in the NFL team.

1067
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: I was wrong. Nick Nickveigh is a superstar. He's legit.

1068
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: He has an elite defensive coordinator. He has a roster

1069
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: that I just don't know how they fail, Like how

1070
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald could go down and they still have no

1071
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: Dominquin Sue. I think their middle linebacker, if we're really

1072
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,439
Speaker 1: getting football Geekie could be the thing that lets them down.

1073
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: Big picture, but too many weapons on offense, multiple wide receivers,

1074
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: they had a couple of young tight ends. They obviously

1075
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: got arguably the best running back in football. They have

1076
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: a solid offensive line. They have the number one overall

1077
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago as a quarterback. Even

1078
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: if you're not the biggest Jared Goff guy, you still

1079
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: have to admit HeSE he's beyond serviceable. Uh defensively, Wade

1080
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: Phillips resume speaks for itself, somewhat of a combustible for sure,

1081
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: locker room. But I just think they're gonna be too good.

1082
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: I think this is the team. The more I've thought

1083
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: about it, I've kind of come around that probably is

1084
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: most likely to win thirteen fourteen games in two thousand

1085
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: and eighteen. It's pretty cool that happens in l A.

1086
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: Because being a being a California guy, to be big

1087
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: time out here on the West coast, you better win

1088
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: because are we fair weather? Yes? Why because we have

1089
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: good weather? Because the sun is always shining. And I

1090
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: think the Rams are gonna be They might end up

1091
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: being the story of two thousand and eighteen. Just because

1092
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm going on record right now fourteen and two, the

1093
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams went fourteen games. I'm actually pretty excited

1094
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: and I think I'm already looking forward to gambling on

1095
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: this game, the Rams against the Raiders. I think they

1096
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: win that game by double digits. Okay, audios, Thanks again
