00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: due to some family stuff, his son isn't feeling well.

Speaker 4: the scenes doing research with you, man, But this is

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,399

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: Man, hey man, that like being out of the world's

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: biggest Rams fan.

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: We went we went into another ring this year. Man.

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: All right, okay, Steve, I.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Mean, while we have you, I guess look, I wore

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: the Kyle pittshirt for you. We're gonna talk to a

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: lot of Falcons. But you all week, you've been at

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: the spring meetings, right, so any anything interesting happened down there?

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, as far as Fantasy might be concerned,

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: you know they're the league is considering this. It's called

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: the optical tracking system. Like we we talked about the

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: chips in the footballs right to measure exactly where the

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: ball is gonna land where it should be spotted. This

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: is different. You know, chips are been in football. They

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: can track this stuff. But this is something think about tennis,

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: right when you when they when they show that that

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: image of the ball is it in, is it out

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: to hit the line? Things like that. It would be

44
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: something like this, and they're gonna use this in preseason

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: and if it if it's successful, they're gonna put that

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: into play in twenty twenty four. The only real issue

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: is going to get every stadium outfitted with this equipment,

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: including the international stadiums. But this is something looking a

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: game of inches. This is something that again in the

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: fantasy world, can get you your points to win or

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: deny you your points and gets you the loss. So

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: that this could be this could be something in terms of, uh,

53
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: that's that's gonna be experimented in the preseason that could

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: impact what's going on, you know, as what was discussed

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: at the league meetings and of course the draft going

56
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: to the great city of Pittsburgh in twenty twenty six

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: after being in Green Bay next year.

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: Wow, you know this is huge, man. I would love

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: the CDs come down to the wire to inches where like, yes,

60
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 4: I get that extra point because it was one extra

61
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: yard and we weren't gonna get jipped by the reps.

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: Like this is great, man, I'm I cannot wait for.

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: That real quick, Mike, how did I talk about Lakwan

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: He's a Rams fan. He's like, yes, we don't have

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: to kick that field goal and this we can go

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: for it because we just got we just punched it in.

67
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 5: Absolutely Williams got that extra inch yeah matter, oh Man, Steve, though,

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 5: look I said we were gonna ask you about the Falcons.

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: No one is more plugged into the Falcons than you.

70
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: Lakwan can tell you. We talk about Kyle Pitts all

71
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: the time on this show. I one time ripped off

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: my shirt when people thought I was gonna give up

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: on Kyle Pitts, and I had this one under it

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: because I will, I refuse to let the dream die.

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: So being so plugged into the Falcons, is this the

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: year for Kyle Pitts? Please say yes?

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I think it is because look, part

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: of the edict and when they made the coaching changes.

79
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: Let's get these draft picks we've taken the past three years,

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: and within the top eight involved right, and Kyle Pits.

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: We saw him have the solid rookie year, but a

82
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: lot of those numbers were kind of those those you know,

83
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: Alex Rodriguez hitting the home run when the team is

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: up nine to one type numbers. Right, You know that

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: he didn't translate into necessarily maybe fantasy wins, but into

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: victories on the field. So, yes, Kyle Pitts is going

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: to be part of it. I spoke to Raheem Morris,

88
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: and he said they have a plan for Kyle Pits.

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: He is going to be involved in the system. The

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: thinking though when you pair that with Zach Robinson, the

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator who comes over to the Rams. To me,

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: that's more Kyle Pitts used as a slot or motion

93
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: receiver than as a tight end, because you think about

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: the tight ends in this whole Shanahan McVeigh system, the

95
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: only one who really gets down is George Kittle, right,

96
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: Tyler Higbee with the Rams would get his you know,

97
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: every now and then you know you're seeing McDaniel. You

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: know down in Miami, you don't really have big tight

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: end numbers down there. You don't have big tight end

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: numbers in Cincinnati. And I do take that back. TJ. Hockinson,

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell put up big numbers in Minnesota, but I

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: think that was kind of out of necessity when Justin

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: Jefferson was out for a while. So I Thinkkle Pitts

104
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: he'll be more of a flex type player than your

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: traditional tight end and in the scheme, but he is

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: going to be getting more targets and more touchdown opportunities.

107
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: And we saw the past few years.

108
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: I love to hear that.

109
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: I actually want to ask you about another guy, another

110
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: first round guy, Drake London. I mean, we've been wanting

111
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: this guy to be a fantasy breakout for these last

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: couple of seasons. Like the talent was never in question,

113
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: it's more so how is he going to be utilized?

114
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: Like what are your expectations of what do you see

115
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: going on to this next season?

116
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: He is the guy when I say the guy, not

117
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: the guy, but or if he's the guy, and this

118
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: is a significant fantasy play because you look you look

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: at you know, just just the way the talent and

120
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: the way that he's you know, the size, and he

121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: can be used fifty to fifty balls. But Kirk Cousins

122
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: has always had the one guy, right, He's had Justin Jefferson,

123
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: He's had, He's had, you know whomever who he can

124
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: really rely on, play action, deep shot. He's got Drake

125
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: London is that guy. Yes, they went on and they

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: got Darnell Mooney, they got Ron deel Moore. But those

127
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: might be more gimmick type players. Those might be more

128
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: you know again, when you think about the Rams offense,

129
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: I won't say Pooka Nakua type of role but it's

130
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: they're not necessarily the big play guys. They're the catch

131
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: and run guys. So I think Drake London when you're

132
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: looking at players who are going to take the next

133
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: step because of circumstance, he has got to be at

134
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 3: the top of the list, not in the mix, but

135
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: at the top of the list because again the edict

136
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: is to put points on the board because the defense

137
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: is going to be decent overall.

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes me feel good. In Florio, I got

139
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: Drake Lundon as wide receiver eight right now my rankings

140
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: top ten. I'm bullish on him this year, man.

141
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: Because I am too. I think he's gonna have a

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: great season.

143
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, this looks good.

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: Man, You're a little bit higher on him than me.

145
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: I have him just outside the top ten. Steve, is

146
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: there any concern at all with Kirk Cousins and the

147
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we were talking about it on the pod yesterday.

148
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: Going back in history, there's like one big name quarterback

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: who's come back from a torn achilles. It was Dan Marino.

150
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: He put up good numbers, but Cousins is a little

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: bit older than him, and I guess in the same conversation.

152
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: Then there's Aaron Rodgers, who's even older. So is that

153
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: something we need to be concerned about with these quarterbacks?

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean you just don't know, and each person

155
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: is different, but medicine is so different. Men. When you

156
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: saw Cam Akers a couple of years ago come back

157
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: from the torn Achilles in six months, when you see

158
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: these guys, you know Aaron Rodgers truthfully, I mean he's

159
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: being functional athletically seven or eight months after this. In

160
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: terms of practice, that's different, right, This used to be

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: something that was a full twelve month, calendar year recovery.

162
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: But again you can't when you see some guys, they'll

163
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: come back from Achilles and then they'll have something will

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: go wrong with the other leg right that they've been

165
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: over compensating on. So these are things that you really

166
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: have to take into account when you look at the

167
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 3: fact that they do play on a lot of turf

168
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: type fields, right, and you look at you know, just

169
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: how they may use him. Now he's not going to

170
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: be a runner. He's gonna be a pocket type of player,

171
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: and they're still going to run the ball when you've

172
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: got Jon Robinson and Tyler Aljier, but his gain's gonna

173
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: be set to play action for the deep shot or

174
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: the move the sticks type of play, and Kirk Cousins

175
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: is going to know himself. Plus he also knows there's

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: a guy behind him that if Michael Pennix gets on

177
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: the field, he ain't coming off and all that. So,

178
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: you know, all of those things factor in, but just

179
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 3: a physical element, I think Kirk Cousins is gonna be funny.

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: Now, I want to ask you about a running back

181
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: part of the Big Three. We got Bijeon going in

182
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: the first round CMC first off the board, and we

183
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: have Breis Hall. But I'm thinking that Bijon may end

184
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: up being a featured player in this offense where he

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: may have this fantasy breakout that we thought he was

186
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: going to have last year. So what's the tone in

187
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: what's the expectations in the Zach Robinson offense for Bijon?

188
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: Well, you know that that's a really interesting question because

189
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: you know when when you think about again, let's just

190
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: think about all these players you've got, you know, the

191
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniels, who's got the run, play action, big speed

192
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 3: type of stuff with Raheem Moster and those guys like

193
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: that down in Miami. You know, you talk about the

194
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: CMC type role. I think he's going to be more

195
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: like that. I don't think he's going to be used

196
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: as as heavily as Christian McCaffrey in the run game.

197
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: We will see him used more in the passing game,

198
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: which was an element I think where he wasn't used

199
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: enough last year that caught most of us by surprise.

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought we were going to see him

201
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: more as a receiver. But again, as we know, the

202
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: quarterback play was just so scattershot. You know, that might

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: not have been scheme, that might not have been play called.

204
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: That might have just been the ineffectiveness of the way

205
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: the offense is flowing where they're behind the sticks, things

206
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: like that with Kirk Cousins. If they get to the

207
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: point where they can get to first half early leads.

208
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: This is where I harken back to like what Sean

209
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: Payton was doing with you know, Pierre Thomas back in

210
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: the day. I thought Pierre Thomas was the best screen

211
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: running back of his era, where they would run the ball,

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: they do things offensively to get leads in the first half,

213
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: and then screen stretch zone stuff outside the tackles in

214
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: the second half. I think he's gonna be that type

215
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: of running back. And then when you got a hammer

216
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: like Alix, you're a young guy who could come in

217
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: and put up a thousand yards as well. That's just

218
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: gonna be a nice game by game type of flow.

219
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: But it's a great option to have with that offensive line,

220
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: which is a road grading, run blocking, very strong offensive line.

221
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so looking at the chat real quick, and

222
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 2: keep the chat coming in. Tony Toka. Toto says Pooka

223
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: in the second round. Now, he did clarify that this

224
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: was a ten team league, so we know in most

225
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: twelve team leagues, Pooka's going in the first round. I

226
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: want to pit you guys against each other right now. Well,

227
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: you said wide receiver eight for Drake London, Pooka or

228
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: Drake London.

229
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 4: I'm going Drake London. Man. You know, I love my

230
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: Rams to the core, but I just have to keep

231
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: in the factor that you have a healthy Cooper Cup there.

232
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: They're gonna be eating off each other's plates every other week.

233
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 4: They're both they both can coexist in this offense where

234
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: they can put up decent fantasy numbers. But both wide

235
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: receivers should be looked at as wide receiver twos rather

236
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: than taking Pooka in the first two rounds early to

237
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: second round as your wide receiver one. You just had

238
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: to have your expectations in order here with this Rams offense,

239
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: it's gonna be clicking on all cylinders. Guys are gonna

240
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: have their weeks up and down, but it's gonna be

241
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: very frustrating if you have the expectations for Pooka to

242
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: be your wide receiver one. A.

243
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: Again, I'm glad to pitting us against each other because

244
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. And I say this, and

245
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: I say this because what is who's the third Who's

246
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: the third option for the Rams? Right now? Yes, there

247
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: will be. There will be Like one week it's gonna

248
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: be Cup, one week it's gonna be you know, Nikua

249
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: as your lead receiver. But they're both gonna eat because again,

250
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: you don't have the Higbee tight end option at least

251
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: that we know of right now. Right the running back Okay,

252
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 3: Blake Corn, maybe he catches some balls out of the backfield,

253
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: but Sean McVay is not a big, throw the ball

254
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: to your running back type of guy. So are you

255
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: gonna double Cup? Are you gonna double in Nikoua? You

256
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: can't double both of them because they're too strong with

257
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: the catch and run. And then if you try and

258
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: you know, play inside out of bracket them, sometimes they're gone.

259
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: They're buying. You know, they've got the speed to do that.

260
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: So from what I saw of Pooka, his ability to

261
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: break tackles and his determination to be great, I don't

262
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: know if I could put him ahead of Drake London

263
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: in that guard, just because I do think there's gonna

264
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: be games for the Falcons are gonna be far more

265
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: run heavy than the Rams ever will be. And that's

266
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: why I would not put Nakua ahead of Drake one.

267
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: So he we we have the Falcons guy going for

268
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: the Rams, and then the Rams guy going for the Falcons.

269
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: And football guy. Man, I'm telling you what I see.

270
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: I think the right answer here is just Cooper Cup

271
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: in third round, Like yeah, everybody early fourth for Cup,

272
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: it just feels like stealing. And I know he's getting

273
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: up there a little bit. I still believe he is

274
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: one of the best wide receiver walking. But we also

275
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: we we don't talk just fantasy here, so uh, I

276
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys saw this, Steve and Lakwan

277
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: Malik neighbors commented on the Giants new uniforms, which have

278
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: gotten a lot of talking about around the NFL uh

279
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: social media and stuff like that, and his comments were,

280
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard to swag it out, That's all

281
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: I gotta say about it.

282
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: He's right, I mean those are what you wear to

283
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: the ugly sweater Christmas party. Think about this. Okay, now, lakwan,

284
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 3: you're probably too young. But Charlie Brown, the cartoon character, right,

285
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: let's put it a leather Michigan Wolverine's helmet on him. Okay,

286
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: he's got the yellow sweater with the line on it.

287
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: And then like just that's Those are the Giants uniforms.

288
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: But if you put on three D glasses, yeah, you

289
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: can't swag those. How many compare those throwbacks to like

290
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: the Saints, you know, all white throwbacks or or some

291
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: of these classic throwbacks. I know our Tom Pelisio said

292
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: he likes tan pants. He likes the old Acme Packers

293
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: pants on. I'm like, I'm like, if you're gonna go

294
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: that hard, are you gonna be like Fanboy and Jim

295
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: Harbaugh back with the khaki pers You know what I'm saying,

296
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: You can't swag those out. I mean, look, maybe if

297
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: you wore like an eyes od flip up you know,

298
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: chat as collar underneath them with some boat dockers, you know,

299
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: while you're while you're going to your your afternoon tea

300
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: in Catalina, wag out, oh my god, pads on those

301
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: and go out there and think those are hot.

302
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: Roman in the chat says he kind of likes them.

303
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie, I will say, Malik Neighbors has not

304
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: had a lot of pleasant things to say since he's

305
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: ended up being drafted by the New York Giants. I

306
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: don't know if I fully blame him.

307
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: Hey, go do your thing, Malik, and you'll you'll have

308
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: plenty to say. If you can make it in New

309
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: York and that organization, you can make it anywhere. He

310
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: better better get into the world of positive thinking because

311
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: he may need it come about week ten.

312
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk a movie here in a second. But

313
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, we got to pay a legend retired right

314
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 2: Kobe Yashi, the hot dog eating King before Joey Chestnut

315
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: has hung it up, so is het out to him.

316
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you both, if you had ten minutes,

317
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: how many hot dogs and hot dog buns. Do you

318
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: think you could eat? I want to die?

319
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Right?

320
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: Okay, first off, the hot dogs have to be barbecued.

321
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: They cannot be able to come out of stopping water. Okay,

322
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: I know that they dunk them and they soak them.

323
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not a hot dog guy because I

324
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: think Kobiyashi probably had to retire because the doctor told

325
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: him that is were choked out. But in ten minutes,

326
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: if they're grilled, like if them babies were hot, like,

327
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I might get down on like

328
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: ten to twelve. I'm not going I'm not going to

329
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: like thirty like those dudes.

330
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm impressive. I couldn't get ten.

331
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm under ten. I'm under ten for sure.

332
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,119
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're we're competing for dollars here, well yeah,

333
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: I probably pulled out twelve thirty. I don't think he's

334
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: doing that for free.

335
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: There A couple of weeks ago, a tweet went viral

336
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: that said who would win a contact if Usain Bolt

337
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: and Joey Chestnunt had to each eat one hot dog

338
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: and then run one hundred meters And I was like,

339
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: it's Chestnunt all day long, and people were arguing with

340
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: me on and then my friends A couple I'm not

341
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: lying when I say this. A couple of my friends

342
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: time themselves to see if they could eat a hot

343
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: dog in under thirty seconds, and none of them were

344
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: able to do it.

345
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: So well, that's true that part I get like Kobeashi

346
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: or Joey Chestnut, they'd have a head start, but one

347
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 3: hundred meters, I'm guessing for all the hot dogs they had,

348
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 3: they couldn't make it sixty meters without falling.

349
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: You talk about Kobeyashi's doctor in the article, he legit

350
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: says he doesn't get hungry anymore, and he went three

351
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: days one time before he realized he hasn't eat.

352
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah.

353
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 5: That's not okay, it's not good.

354
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: All you need to know hot dogs are made a filler,

355
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: so you.

356
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: Know, oh my god.

357
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: To bring it back to football in a sense, Steve

358
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: on last summer on the Pod, we did something called

359
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: Florio's Film Festival because there's a ton of movies I

360
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: had not seen. So I watched fifteen action movies from

361
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: the nineties and they were some of them were awesome,

362
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: some of them not so much. So we're bringing it

363
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: back this summer, and this is the first movie we

364
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: are going to talk about. It has nothing to do

365
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: with nineties action because la Qwan had never seen Draft Day,

366
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: so he watched it last night for the first time.

367
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: Have you seen it?

368
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: Not in a while, but oh no, I know quite well.

369
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: You know Kevin Costing there with the Cleveland Browns.

370
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So, Lakwan, what were your thoughts first time watching?

371
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 4: I got a few takeaways. Man, the movie is great,

372
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 4: like one. I like the movie. I'll watch it again.

373
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 4: I'll make it a tradition to watch before Draft night.

374
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of unnecessary stuff in there, man, unrealistics,

375
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 4: stuff like the love interest was unnecessary that the unrealistic

376
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: like trades for the draftics was just nuts, like.

377
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: Three first rounds.

378
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: What, oh my god.

379
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: But I love how the movie.

380
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 4: Ended up spinning at the end where he ends up

381
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 4: getting the picks back and kind of sticking it to Seahawks,

382
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: which I also enjoyed too. You know, I just feel

383
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: like the movie. I just had like not that many

384
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: like high expectations for it, But I'm actually happy I

385
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 4: watched it.

386
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: It was a good movie. It is good and back

387
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: then by you know, la quand the Seahawks were in

388
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: the AFC, so you can't hate him as much as

389
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 3: you you know you do now, Yeah, I mean, I mean,

390
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: but like some of the things were really good, Like

391
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: you know when they said, how come none of your

392
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: teammates came to your birthday? Part? Like what's the work

393
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: that scouts really do? Right? If a guy's really good

394
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: but his teammates hated him, what's gonna happen when he

395
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: gets in with dudes who are fighting and put food up,

396
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: food on the table for their families, right, So that

397
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: part is good. But yes, and some of the phone

398
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: calls with the trade, like, no, it doesn't happened like that,

399
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: it's unrealistic. But I do like the fact that they

400
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: know how they brought you know, an audience into some

401
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: elements a book could actually happened, you know, on a

402
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: trade or a draft day or something like that.

403
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the one acting from the guy Flora.

404
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: He was like it was Brian Drew, the one.

405
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: That give him an oscar, best shape of his life,

406
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: even best shape of his life made it into draft day,

407
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: which felt like the most realistic part of the movie. Yeah, Steve,

408
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: how many drafts? And have you covered now? Since you've

409
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: been covering the NFL.

410
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 3: Wow, So I cover the Dolphins in ninety five, what

411
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: heck was Shuler's last year? Like Shuler's last two seasons,

412
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: and Jimmy's like first one and a half season, Jimmy

413
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: Johnson one half and then I've been covering it, covering

414
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: it consecutively since two thousand.

415
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: Five.

416
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: Wow. So so yeah, I mean I'm more than more

417
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: than twenty. And it has changed, man, it is really

418
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: really changed. Some of the changes you've seen. Well, the

419
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: big change has becomes such a TV spectacle. You know,

420
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: remember like in the nineties, newspaper so jove, they were

421
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: the driving force for media coverage, right you you maybe

422
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 3: had ESPN, you didn't have NFL network back then, you

423
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of things.

424
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: You know.

425
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: Gambling has played a part of it. Okay, who's going

426
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: first is one second. But the one thing that's been

427
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: consistent that I love is it's the one time of

428
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: year where you fuse college football fans and NFL fans

429
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 3: because there are two distinct fan bases in some parts.

430
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 3: But okay, where's my guy from Alabama going? Because I

431
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: want to follow him? And okay, who's this quarterback? We're

432
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 3: getting from Alabama because he's going to be the savior

433
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 3: for our franchise. So that's the part that's been consistent

434
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: why it's such a huge deal for a non action

435
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: type of event. So yeah, it's it's been a lot

436
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: of drafts.

437
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: Man Marcus always always calls it the coach Ella of

438
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. But I want the reason I asked is

439
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: I wanted how similar is that? Like does the movie

440
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: get stuff right or is it all just more made

441
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: for Hollywood?

442
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: Some stuff is right, I mean some of some of

443
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: the scouting techniques and some of the things are right.

444
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: Again that the calls about trades, No, it just.

445
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: Is not.

446
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 4: Like the owners in GMS this cutthroat though.

447
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I mean they're that cutthroat. And maybe back

448
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: when that was made it was that savage because remember

449
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: the one thing that GMS back then didn't want to

450
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: do is part with draft picks. Now it's f them

451
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 3: picked for real. I mean guys guys will trade, you know,

452
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 3: for players or stuff like that, Like they don't care

453
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 3: because they know they've got a much shorter tolerance window

454
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: and doing their jobs as a head coach or GM,

455
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 3: so you know that that's far more aggressive, but for

456
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: the most part, the feel of it and everything was real.

457
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: I mean I will say that, you know, walking around

458
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: the building and talking to some of the executives, the

459
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: feel of it is legit. The human aspect of it

460
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 3: was legit. But most of the stuff was just theatrics.

461
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't trade three first round three years of

462
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: first round draft picks on a thirty second call. That

463
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't happen.

464
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: Depends on who it is. Shoot, if I can get

465
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams and you know I'm a team that feels

466
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: I'm a quarterback away, hell yeah. If I got to

467
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: do that to come up from like seventeen or twenty, right,

468
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 3: if I'm the Raiders, right, I had an opportunity to

469
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 3: do that in a team willing to move the pick,

470
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: hell yeah, I would do it. I'm not doing it

471
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: for Ricky Williams. I'm not doing a Mike Ditka giving

472
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: up my entire craft for a running back type thing.

473
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: But hey man, that's what I'm saying. If you're a

474
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: head coach or a GM and you know you've got

475
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: it to make a break, you got to get it done.

476
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: I mean, think about this, man, can you the Panthers

477
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 3: if they hadn't made the trade for Bryce. Right, let's

478
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: just say they had the first pick and they get

479
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 3: kleeb this year with some of the with some of

480
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: the space and some of the stuff that they made. Yeah,

481
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 3: you know, think about it, like Bryce better work out,

482
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 3: you know, because they gave up a ton to get them.

483
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: They did, but they were but they did it. They

484
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: did it with conviction. Right, when you make a move

485
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 3: like that, you have to stick your chest out and

486
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: do it with conviction. So they would and did it.

487
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: But this goes to both of you because especially Lequan

488
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: you just saw it. If if a GM traded up

489
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 2: to one, took a linebacker and then took a running

490
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: back seven, uh would he survive? And same Ques with

491
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: the Jaguars trading boat almost said bow Nicks bo Callahan

492
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: for three second round picks, which GM would have been.

493
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 2: I feel like neither one of them would have made

494
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 2: it much further than that draft.

495
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: But no, you're there, like if I'm the owner, I'm like, yeah, yeah,

496
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: you're done.

497
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: Just pack it up. Oh there are some owners who

498
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: might be enticed. Yeah, look, man, I wouldn't do it.

499
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it. But you know, if that outside

500
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: linebackers is TJ. Watt, right, the linebackers TJ. Now, if

501
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: it's an inside linebacker, I don't know if I nassarily

502
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 3: do it, even if it's a Fred Warner type. But

503
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 3: if it's TJ. Watt, okay. And then I got a

504
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: running back like Christian McCaffrey out of the deal, and

505
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: I got a coach you could coach up the last

506
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: pick in the draft to be a very capable starting quarterback.

507
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: I'm winning, baby, that is true. I like that.

508
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 4: I did take away too that that coach in the

509
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: movie really had no say in any of the moves,

510
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 4: Like you coach the team I give you was like

511
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 4: hard hitting because I started looking at some of these

512
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 4: teams like maybe something this is going on here, you know,

513
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 4: like in some of these franchises in real life.

514
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: It did back then. It did back in the nineties.

515
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there were some coaches who have said that's

516
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 3: what coaches fight so hard for it Now, Yeah, you

517
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 3: can see.

518
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: I think every like ten years or so, they should

519
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: be a Draft Day remake.

520
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 3: That would be awesome because we wouldn't have.

521
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: A running back going that early anymore.

522
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: So here's the other thing with all these young players

523
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: coming in like I'm branding material like they would play themselves,

524
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: like they would come in. I know I'm active, but look,

525
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: I've got to deal with spring Hill and Lebron's company.

526
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: They can get me into this movie. I can make

527
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 3: a little extra you know, scratch on the side. Plus

528
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: I can make bring the authenticity to the role. I'd

529
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: like to. Let's do it.

530
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: Let's you and I l money. I mean, hey, they

531
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: could start working on it while they're still in college.

532
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: Like that is true in the Awesome You guys need

533
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: to pitch that because you need to have the fantasy

534
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: show talking about the draft picks as well in the

535
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: movie Oh awesome.

536
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: That and then and then you get people like fans

537
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: upset because the first pick wasn't who they bet on.

538
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: We'll just we'll make it as realistic as.

539
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 4: Possible, right, hit on all aspects.

540
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: And Steve, last question about movies before before we let

541
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: you go, you were so gracious to bless us with

542
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: your time. But last year I said, we did nineties

543
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 2: action movies. This year we're gonna put it up for

544
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 2: vote what the genre should be, and nineties action is

545
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: is another one. Patrick Claybound last week suggested rom coms,

546
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 2: what what do you think we should be watching this?

547
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: It's gotta be martial arts. Man, you guys have to

548
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: go all the way from like Bruce Lee to Chuck

549
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 3: Norris to like Jim Kelly to the old Billy Jack movies.

550
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: Like you guys have got to do Marshal Arts and

551
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 3: Jackie Chan like you could do some really great ones.

552
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: And I'm saying this because have you guys watched this series.

553
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: I believe it's on Max called Warrior. The Warrior. It

554
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 3: is like the best, like it is Game of Thrones

555
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 3: level in terms of like great writing, and they're based

556
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 3: off of writings by Bruce Lee, and it basically tell

557
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: us about the Chinese migration, how they were brought over

558
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 3: here to San Francisco, you know, back at the turn

559
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: of the century to build the railroads. And man, it

560
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 3: is some of the best fights. It is some of

561
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: the best character development. Like if you've got a couple

562
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: of days just to bench, it'll be the best thing

563
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: you'll you'll come back and tell me next time I'm

564
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 3: on the show. Word up, great job. Plus you'll thank

565
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: you for going to the martial arts genre, right I'm

566
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: down for that. I think you've got to bring in

567
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: the fight movies. Man.

568
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: Marcus is a huge fan of martial art movies, so

569
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: I think he'll be on board with this, and he

570
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: could already probably suggest a bunch. And if we go

571
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: this route, you got to start making some recommendations because.

572
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: Answer the Dragon is the standard. Answer the Dragon with

573
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 3: Bruce Lee is the standards now number one best martial

574
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: arts film ever made.

575
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: Jackie chan Rumble on the Bronx.

576
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: I watched that recently.

577
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: That's a good one, Bruce Lee.

578
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: Though. That's for so many of like the stylistic things.

579
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: When you see some of the things that guys do

580
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: in movies now, even if they're not martial arts movies,

581
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: they took them from Bruce Lee movies, you know, the

582
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: whole and when they start hopping like what's coming out? Gotcha,

583
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: Bruce Lee.

584
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 4: That's a good recommendation.

585
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: Man.

586
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 4: We definitely got to look into that.

587
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: Ryan Martz says the Raid one in two if you

588
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: do martial arts. Okay, all right, Roy, I haven't even

589
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: heard of them.

590
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: I haven't either, but I mean, you can't get enough, man,

591
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm old enough to know, like pre Cable at midnight,

592
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: they would have a thing called Kung Fu Theater and

593
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: they would play like martial arts movies for the next

594
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: two hours.

595
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: Wow, they should bring that to watch more. My my

596
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: history is like I've seen Bruce Lee and like, uh,

597
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: they do they have his character Once upon a Time

598
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: in Wall Street. Besides that, I haven't seen a lot

599
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: of Bruce Slee movies.

600
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm slacking. Once you watch Enter the Dragon, it's over.

601
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're set.

602
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 3: It's great, chucks, He's got it all bro.

603
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: It is the exact opposite of rom coms.

604
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: So Sarry Patrick, you know, and he's gonna start with

605
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: like the section in the City movie, right, yeah, the notebook.

606
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: Like, I've seen some rom coms, but not all of them,

607
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: neither my genre. I thought my wife would be more

608
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: on board with that. She was just kind of like

609
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: rom coms. I was like, yeah, because she'll she'll end

610
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: up just watching some of these movies with me. So

611
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: she's a little invested as well in the genre as

612
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure.

613
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: Uh get her started on Warrior though, I'm telling you

614
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 3: the Warrior. It's called the Warrior. I believe it's all

615
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: like character development is very broad and it's very it

616
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: is all that everyone watching listening whatever you will, thank me.

617
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: I just finished it up under the recommendation of my kids.

618
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,640
