15
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback absolutely ludicrous. Dave Juanstatt explaining why

Speaker 1: he's more bullish on Mitched Trubisky to Pittsburgh and the

17

Speaker 1: scoop on wild NFL free agency period, and Baker's trade demand.

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: But first, my top takes of the week. So let's

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: start with this. I have gone over this two or

21
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: three times on my national radio and TV shows. Days

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: are very long. You sleep seven I sleep seven hours

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: a day. I work out for an hour, I eat

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: for an hour. I hang out with my wife, I read,

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I listen to music, I take naps, and that's about

26
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half hours. I've got seven left. And

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: I had said this with Tom Brady. He's going to

28
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: hang out with his kids. But if your kids have

29
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: a life, they don't want to hang out with their

30
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: mid forty year old dad all the time. I got kids.

31
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: My daughter's twenty one, she lives, you know, in Hollywood. Honey,

32
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: you want to go for lunch. She's got like seven options.

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: She didn't even call me back half the time. She shouldn't.

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: She has a life. My son, he's got friends. You know,

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: once kids get to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen years old,

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: it's not that they don't love dad. They got options.

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: And Gizelle is in some stay at home mom. She's

38
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: a supermodel with a eight nine figure annual income. She's

39
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: plenty busy. So my takeaway on Brady was he's usually

40
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: he has, you know, his convictions, but I predicted after

41
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: the season ended. He was very ambiguous. I thought there

42
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: was a chance he retired, and then when he retired,

43
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: I thought, I'll take him in his word, but I

44
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: think there's a chance he comes back. It's a small chance.

45
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: And I think Tom has never really given himself six

46
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: weeks off. I mean, really cleared his head, go on

47
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: a vacation, don't take a football, no playbook. He'd never

48
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: done that in the last twenty years. And I think

49
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: Tom said, all right, I'm going to have a couple

50
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: of beers, eat some cheesecake, give myself six weeks with

51
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: the family, and came to the conclusion because he still

52
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: has his health and he's still an MVP level quarterback.

53
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: This year, he came to the conclusion that I'm really

54
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: good at football. There's a lot of hours in these days.

55
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fill it playing football. My kids are more grown,

56
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: my wife's busy. We're gonna do backgammon with neighbors. That's

57
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: not Tom. Tom is an aspirational guy. I talk about this.

58
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not anything like a superstar athlete. I talked

59
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: to my wife all the time about this. If you're

60
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: compensated at a very high level, and you're doing something

61
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: you really love and you're pretty good at it. What

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: are you quitting to I understand people who work in

63
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: factories or have to lift things for a living, or

64
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: are in dangerous jobs firemen, police officers, hey man, get

65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: out take the pension. Totally understand it. But glamour jobs

66
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: right like musicians, athletes, actors, jobs that are in entertainment

67
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: or news. There's a reason these reporters and these artists

68
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: are still traveling. Yeah, believe it or not. Ario Speedwagon

69
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: performed this weekend. Why they were paid a lot. It's

70
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: fun playing music and being adored by fans. I get it.

71
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady gave it six seven, eight weeks. He'd never

72
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: done that before, and he came to the conclusion that

73
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: a lot of really willful aspirational people do. I'm bored.

74
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Tom is mister gold setter, mister achievement. It

75
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: is hard to go from zero to sixty for twenty

76
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: years and then back to zero and again. I think

77
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of professional careers that you know. I

78
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: had a friend years ago who was an oncologist, you know,

79
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: a cancer doctor twenty five years psychologically, he was beat up.

80
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: He was done. He was tired. He'd seen death for

81
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: two and a half decades. It was time. That's different

82
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: than football. And Tom's done a remarkable job to stay

83
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: engaged with the younger teammates. And let's be honest about this.

84
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: He was good this year and his only loss at

85
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: the end of the year was to the Rams, who

86
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. The loser in this, my first thought,

87
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: the loser in this is Aaron Rodgers because all these

88
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: teams are getting better, all these acquisitions, and what did

89
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay do this offseason? Just pay Aaron Rodgers more.

90
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: That's how they improved. They paid Aaron Rodgers more. So

91
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: when Tom retired, one of the things I think I

92
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: said on the podcast, I definitely said it before the

93
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: end of the season. I said, man, I'd have a

94
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: hard time retiring if I was Tom. Look at the NFC,

95
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: and this was before Russell Wilson left. But Trey Lance,

96
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: we don't know if it's going to work. Matt Stafford McVeagh,

97
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: can they repeat, I mean DAK Cowboys or Marie Cooper's gone.

98
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: Dak's never been good without Amari. The NFC is wide open.

99
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: To me, Rams are the best teams. Tom's back with

100
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Tampa second best roster. San Francisco, if Trey Lance can play,

101
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: is probably my third pick. And then Green Bay kind

102
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: of falls in that. Dallas, Arizona good enough to beat anybody,

103
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: not good enough to dominate top teams. So the winner

104
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: in this Fox TV gets a great quarterback in the NFC,

105
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: the winner all football fans. The loser, you know, potentially McVay,

106
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, Aaron Rodgers. But the roadblocks are few and

107
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: far between in the NFC. The bottom of it right

108
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: now is a mess. I was talking to a friend

109
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: about this, he's a New Yorker, and I said, this

110
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: league's getting like NBA top heavy. I said, name the

111
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: twelve best players between the Jets, Giants, Chargers, Rams. New

112
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: York had none of them, None of them. The Giants

113
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: are awful, The Jets are awful. And I said, you

114
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: start looking at the bottom of the NFC right now.

115
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: Giants are awful, Philadelphia is not very good. Winston Washington

116
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: should be better, but there are limitations. Atlanta, no Saints,

117
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: no Carolina unless they land to Shaun Watson kind of

118
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: a mess. Arizona fascinating, but Cliff Kingsbury yet to win

119
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: a big playoff game, a lot of drama this offseason.

120
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, we don't know. Seattle doesn't have a quarterback now.

121
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: The bottom of the NFC is large, the bottom of

122
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: the AFC is like Houston the Jets. That's it. So

123
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: just feels good. A little bit of a surprise, not

124
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: a shock. And I'll say it again, the days are long,

125
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady figured out after about sixty eight weeks, might

126
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: as well fill them with something I get great enjoyment from.

127
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: And I'm really good at throwing a football. In the NFL.

128
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: The Packers have moved Davante Adams to the Raiders for

129
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: draft picks. What do you think Aaron Rodgers is thinking? Well,

130
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: good question, and I don't know. As I've said many times,

131
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: I never try to get into Aaron Rodgers head. It's murky.

132
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: But I'll say this. When Dak Prescott signed that contract

133
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and a contract for a B plus quarterback, you will

134
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: pay a price. You can kick that ship down the road.

135
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: You'll pay a price. You're seeing it now. Cedric Wilson gone,

136
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper gone right tackle, while Collins gone. Aaron Rodgers, Oh,

137
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: he got all that guaranteed money. He got fifty million

138
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: a year. He's still a thirteen and a half percent

139
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: cap hit. Don't win super Bowls in this league if

140
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks over a twelve percent cap hit. Unless you're

141
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Aaron's not Tom Brady, you pay a

142
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: quarterback fifty million, regardless of all the guarantees. This everything

143
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: in a salary cap league, even with star quarterbacks, is

144
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: a value proposition. If you want to be the highest

145
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: paid blank in the National Football League, eventually your franchise

146
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: will have to make cuts. Aaron has always been about Aaron.

147
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: He's not about winning. He'd like to win. It's more

148
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: fun to win. He has always put Aaron and money

149
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: ahead of everything else. All right, gonna bring him my buddy,

150
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Mike Silver. He's going to have a big announcement in

151
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks. I'm not going to get

152
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: into it, but he knows what it is and I

153
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: know what it is, and it's very exciting if you

154
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Yeah, it's very exciting. So

155
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: here's the latest. The Packers are trading wide receiver Davante

156
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: Adams to the Raiders for two prime twenty twenty two picks.

157
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: So I want to throw this at you. You love

158
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He's a cow guy. I get it. Whoa

159
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: first he said categorically false when I think it was

160
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: Diana Rossini came out and said he's gonna get fifty

161
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: million dollars a year to be the highest paid quarterback.

162
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Well it wasn't. Yeah, yeah, report bad, Yeah, not categorically false.

163
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Vaccine fuzzy, that fuzzy. Everybody talks about the guaranteed money

164
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. God, Yet next year he's still a thirteen

165
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: and a half percent cap hit, which in the last

166
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: fifteen years, you can't win a Super Bowl if you're

167
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: over twelve unless you're Tom Brady. So a thirteen percent

168
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: is still a big cap hit. So now they don't

169
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: have Davante Adams. He trusts no second receiver. I'm going

170
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: to play the cynic. It was always with Aaron about

171
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: getting the money. It's not about winning. Say what you

172
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: want about overly optimistic, some argue inauthentic Russell Wilson. He

173
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: wanted better coaching and better players. Say what you want

174
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: about Brady. It's about winning. He takes pay cuts. With Aaron,

175
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: this has always been about because, as I've said, Mike

176
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: He's not going to get the records and the Super

177
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: Bowls like Brady er Manning or Breeze his contemporaries, they're

178
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: going to fill the record book. He wants that passer

179
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: rating stat and he wants his money. And I look

180
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: at this and I think he DeVante had to tell

181
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: him privately, bro, I'm not franchise tagging, and he knew

182
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: there was a chance that Devanta wouldn't sign. So in

183
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: the end, there were better places to go if you

184
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: took a little less to win games. Am I being

185
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: too hard? Okay? So this is instant reaction. That's my caveat.

186
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: This is my instant reaction, and I'll obviously learn more

187
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: in the coming hours and days. My instant reaction is

188
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that Aaron Rodgers came back without believing

189
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: that DeVante Adams was going to be a part of it.

190
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: The deadline for him telling the Packers was before the

191
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: franchise tag deadline. That was Aaron's you know, I got

192
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: to tell them by then. He did tell them by that.

193
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: He actually told them three days earlier at David Bactieri's wedding.

194
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: At the reception, he said, I'm coming back, So I

195
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: can't believe that Aaron Rodgers came back believing that Davante

196
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Adams was not going to be a part of it,

197
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: since that's literally the person he seems to value most.

198
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: And I've had long conversations with him about how much

199
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: he values Davante Adams as a teammate and as a

200
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: player and specific reasons why. And I also know that

201
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: this whole thing really started. Yeah there was a money thing,

202
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: but really this started, and Aaron has spoken about it

203
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: publicly by him thinking, you guys, don't involve me in

204
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: these conversations or the coaches for that matter. You just

205
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: as a packer front office, do what you do and

206
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: I hear about it later. And you also don't go

207
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: after it and load up with guys. I want to remember,

208
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, part of the healing process was they've been

209
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: including me, and you know they signed Randall Cobb, which

210
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: you know turned out to be a good thing for

211
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: Aaron the first half of the season, and that's all

212
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: been much much better. So one of two things has happened,

213
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: and I find them both hard to imagine, and so

214
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I'll obviously be doing some reporting. But either a Aaron,

215
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: as you said, kind of knew Davante is not going

216
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: to play for the franchise tag they'll never pay him.

217
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: We've got cap issues, and I'm gonna just take this

218
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Bundy and hope they put a good team around me.

219
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: And look, they got Tavandra Campbell back and that's cool,

220
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: but I might lose DeVante Adams. That's hard for me

221
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: to imagine that he did that or b Aaron came

222
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: back thinking it's so much better now not only are

223
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: they paying me, but they involved me in all these

224
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: decisions that they know that. Now they're tagging Davante and

225
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to make that contract work

226
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: because I need him. And then they still traded him. Now,

227
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: if that happens, boom, that's gonna make Baker and the

228
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Browns look like Sesame Street. And you're going to see

229
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback who is an adult but is throwing an

230
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: adult tantrum. And I would argue rightfully. So, so one

231
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: of those two things seemingly happened. Now, maybe it's the

232
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: first one and there's a plan and Aaron was resigned

233
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: to it, and they're gonna go get some other receiver

234
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: that he loved somehow. But my, my, I don't think

235
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: this is what he came back for. So listening to that,

236
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: my takeaway is still Aaron cares about Aaron. That's really

237
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: what it's I said this the other day. Not all

238
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: actors are in it for the art or the oscars.

239
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Some like the fame, the girls, and the money. I'm

240
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: not judging, but but Aaron Kent. It helps Aaron so

241
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: much to have his guy. So I still would argue

242
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: that even if I'm not even conceding that. But even

243
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: if that is the case, Aaron's not gonna have as

244
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: good a reality, the girls, the cars, whatever without that guy.

245
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: So and he has spoken publicly, you know, he has

246
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: said this is a big, big issue to me. I

247
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: want to be involved in these decision making processes. So

248
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: maybe they'll consult them during the draft and they'll use

249
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: those picks to draft someone that they are eyeballing, that

250
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: they think is gonna step in and immediately be as

251
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: good as Davante Adams. But you know, remember how DeSean

252
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: Watson was when they got rid of DeAndre Hopkins. He

253
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: didn't really enjoy that. That was the beginning of the

254
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: end with him. It would be understandable even without all

255
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: the history for Aaron Rodger is to be apoplectic if

256
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: they got rid of Davante Adams without him being part

257
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: of the plan, and if they didn't give it all

258
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: the recent history, he should retire today or you know,

259
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: force his way out today. So one of those two

260
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: things happened. I they're both very surprising to be scenarios,

261
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: and I guess we'll find out in due time what's

262
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: going up. Well, Davante is going to get a five

263
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: year deal from the Raiders. That's what I'm By the way,

264
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: great great move by Dave Ziggler and Josh McDaniels coming

265
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: in hot. I loved them training on Godway, getting Chandler Jones,

266
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: book ending them with Crosby. And now you're giving Derek Carr,

267
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: his college teammate and close friend, you know, the ultimate

268
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: security bank blanket. You're putting the you know, they've tried

269
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: so for so long to get a guy. Rugs obviously

270
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: turned out to be a you know, horrible this Mike

271
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, Josh Jacobs, Hunter, Renfro, Derek Card, Davante Adams,

272
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: left tackle, Colton Miller. That's an elite offense, period, That

273
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: is an elite offense and you've got bookendge rushers who

274
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: are monsters. So the defense at the very least has that.

275
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: Now you're in a division with Mahomes, Russell and Herbert,

276
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: which is a you know, murderers row of Six Games

277
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: of Hell, and you know you've got to compete in there.

278
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: But man, that you gotta give Dave Zikle and Josh

279
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: McDaniels a lot of credit. You know, for years and

280
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: years I had a belief on what the league was

281
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: and because of rule changes, Mike, I really we had

282
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: lunch recently and I don't know if I mentioned this

283
00:18:52,160 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: among our many by the way covert discussions, covert, the

284
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: league has really become quarterback weapons pass rush league. Yeah,

285
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: it really has. I mean, you don't have to have

286
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: O Line Cincinnatio line men, linebacking cores in the Super

287
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: Bowl Rams Bengals. Weakness, safety doesn't matter. It's really quarterback

288
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: weapons because the three step drop back offense, you've got

289
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: to have nimble, twitchy athletes who can get to the

290
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: quarterback fast. You don't have to have a great offensive

291
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: line because you're not asking them to sustain blocks for

292
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: seven seconds anymore. And I look at this now, Green

293
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: Bay has an elite quarterback no longer has elite weapons,

294
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: and I would say I love Kenny Clark, but does

295
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: not have an elite pass rush. This doesn't feel like

296
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team to meet Mike. You know, just

297
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: remember trades can be made. Right now, what I suspect

298
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: the Packers have decided. Again, I'm not sure if Aaron

299
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: is part of this, but I think what they've decided is, Man,

300
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: we've tried every cap trick in the book, and we

301
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, even though Aaron is only counting you know,

302
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: X against the cap, it's still a lot. We've tried

303
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: every trick of the book. We still care about these

304
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: other things. If we if we then pay Davante, we

305
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: don't think we can really do it. So I think

306
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: the play is we got to get some guys on

307
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: rookie contracts who are difference makers. So now they have picks,

308
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: they hopefully for them to have a receiver who can

309
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: step in the way Justin Jefferson did. Now that's that's aspirational.

310
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: If you get Justin Jefferson type, it's still not DeVante Adams,

311
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: and it still takes time with Aaron, but you can

312
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: you know that would be big. Well, that's That's that's

313
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: the key. Aaron with his own family has trust issues.

314
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: That's manifested itself in his football. He's not overly trusting.

315
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch that playoff game when that wide receive,

316
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: when that tight end drops a ball, I'm not going

317
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: back to the tight end. This is he trusts Randall

318
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: comp he trusts Aaron Jones. He trusted him on to

319
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: adds he's not a guy. This is this is you

320
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: always become as a quarterback, Mike, your personality. Same as

321
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: a talk show host. She becomes your personality. I mean Tom,

322
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: he's he's ingratiates himself with people. Tom's very good. He's

323
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: a people person. That's what he is as a quarterback. Um,

324
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, Stafford is a little loose. As we saw

325
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl parade. Can get can be a

326
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: little loose. He's a little loose as a quarterback. He's

327
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of a go for it guy. He's a little loose. Uh,

328
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: that's his personality. Like you become your personality, So asking

329
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: Aaron too. Suddenly, let's say the Packers draft two receivers

330
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: with these picks. This is this is gonna be a

331
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: quick learning curve. And that's not Aaron's history. I guess

332
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: as my point, let me ask you this. So I

333
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: threw this out there. Stuff gets out when people wanted out.

334
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: The Brown's front office clearly was sending a message to the

335
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: the Baker and his agent were over you. We're done

336
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: with you. He won't go to the Colts. He and

337
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Ballard are two different people. And also the knock on

338
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: Wentz was he wasn't always disciplined. Well that's the exact

339
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: knock on Baker. Baker's a less talented, a smaller version

340
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: of Wentz. So I don't think they'd pursue him. I

341
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: think they would outbid Cleveland for Jimmy Garoppolo. Am I wrong? Yeah?

342
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean I am on record as being a major

343
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy fan obviously as a person, and I like him

344
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: a lot as a player. I just think you and

345
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: me both, by the way, we both like him more

346
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: than media people. Yeah. But here's the problem, and I

347
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: think about this. I had that little side deal with

348
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: the Washington then football team this last season, and they

349
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: went all in on Ryan Fitzpatrick and he got her

350
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: in the first quarter of the first game, and that

351
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: was that. And it wasn't great, And so he was

352
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: an older guy. But if you look at Jimmy's injury history,

353
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: are you counting? You know, it's hard for me to

354
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: think you're going all in on Jimmy, and you know,

355
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: given his injury history, you really do seem to run

356
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: a risk that you're now going to plan d within

357
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: the season. And you have a team that theoretically is

358
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: built to win now, as you said, the offensive line

359
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: even without Treder, the running game. So it's you know,

360
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that Baker's a great fit with Indie,

361
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: but somebody's going to take them because they're just aren't

362
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: enough quarterbacks for the chairs. If Carolina doesn't get to Sean,

363
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: are they now looking at Baker. It might not be

364
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: there first, second, or eighth choice, but you take a look.

365
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: You know, Seattle pledges love for Drew Lock, but you know,

366
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: it's tough to not think Baker's an upgrade on Drew Lock.

367
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think we're gonna have to see,

368
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, how these other chairs play out. Obviously, when

369
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: the Watson Domino falls, will know a lot more. But

370
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem like it's been handled very very well.

371
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: And you know, think back to the whole Let's go

372
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: all the way back to the drafting a Baker and

373
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: then Hugh Jackson fired did well under Freddie Kitchens. They

374
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: wanted to hire Stefanski, but they hired Kitchens thinking that

375
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: was going to do it for Baker. He hired Todd Monkin.

376
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: Baker hated Monkin, terrible fit. Then they say, okay, fine,

377
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: we're firing Freddie Kitchens and now we're gonna hire the

378
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: guy we really want. Where the analytics guys, where the

379
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: IVY League guys. We're gonna hire Kevin Stefanski. I don't

380
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: feel like Kevin Stefanski and Baker have been a great

381
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: fit stylistically. And one reason I say that is if

382
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: you look at Baker's best game ever, which is going

383
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: into Pittsburgh and lighting it up in a playoff game.

384
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski was in his basement and Alex ben Pelt

385
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: was calling the offense and he opened it up, which

386
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: I think Bigger loved. He had him, you know, back

387
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: with the offense spread out and said just see it,

388
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: throw it go, and he had he had a monster game.

389
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: And so maybe the Browns are finally just saying Baker's

390
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: not a great fit for us stylistically, personality wise, whatever,

391
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: even though you know he was drafted by them, by

392
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: John Dorsey. But you know that's fine. What's the plan?

393
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Just like the forty nine ers when hey, Jim Harbaugh

394
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: is not a good fit here anymore. We're not getting

395
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: along with him. We got to get rid of him. Okay, fine,

396
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: what's the what's the plan? Jim Tomsula? Oh, start your

427
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: He's launching a new podcast. We'll get into that over

428
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: the next twenty five to thirty minutes. Um, I've got

429
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: to start on something because, uh, you know college basketball

430
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: is there's so many programs. I think the country has

431
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: watched less of it every year. The one and done

432
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: has essentially cut off the head of college basketball. It's

433
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: too transactional. Um, So I want to stick to the NBA,

434
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: which is in your wheelhouse. So I was thinking about

435
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: you the other day. Lebron James is going on this

436
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: scoring binge, and I said, you know, this isn't a

437
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: lost season for Lebron because he's never gonna catch Michael

438
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: and he wants to stay as healthy as he can.

439
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: He's had no major injuries, and there is value in

440
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: having a big scoring year and being selfish this year

441
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: for the first year in his career, I'm gonna score

442
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: some points. And he's never been that guy, and I

443
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: think it's remarkable he's become that guy. And I'm like,

444
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: to me, my takeaway is, hey, he's looking around the league.

445
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: He's looking around the Lakers' I'm gonna score this year.

446
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna add some points. That's my takeaway on what

447
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: he's done. He know that he knows the chemistry doesn't work.

448
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: He can't trust a d They're gonna blow this thing up,

449
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: probably in the offseason, and for the first time in

450
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: his career, I'm gonna be a little selfish, That's my take.

451
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: What's remarkable about it, though, is that he can do

452
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: this in year nine. The most points per game ever

453
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: for a guy year nineteen or later is Kareem with fourteen,

454
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: So he's doubling it more than doubling it, right, And

455
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: the fact that I always believed, you know, he said

456
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: years and years ago, I could win the scoring title

457
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: every year if I really wanted to, and I believed that,

458
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: then I did not go into this year thinking even

459
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: if he wanted to, that he could still average thirty

460
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: points per game. I thought he could still control games.

461
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: I thought he could still be the guy that in

462
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: a critical fourth quarter of a playoff series you would

463
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: want over any other guy in the league. I thought

464
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: maybe he could still get to that. But the fact

465
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play this year more games than Durant

466
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: and he's gonna potentially win the scoring title, it's there

467
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: is It's utterly remarkable, And I actually think your guy,

468
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, in a weird way, has caused people to

469
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: appreciate what Lebron is doing this season a little less

470
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: because Brady, you know, won a super Bowl at forty three,

471
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: was you know, almost was a league MVP, you know,

472
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: leading candidate at age forty four. So I think people

473
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: are it's like, yeah, this is the era of old

474
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: athletes dominating. But we've never seen anything close to this

475
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Nothing close to it previously. A couple

476
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: of NFL topics. You and I disagree on Russell Wilson.

477
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: I have him as a top five or six quarterback.

478
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: I think his temperament that's why I like him more

479
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: than Kyler or Aaron. You know, all these teams were

480
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: making these moves. All the Packers did pay Aaron Rodgers

481
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: more money. I think Denver is gonna be a much

482
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: better team. It feels very much. I've been saying this

483
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: for a year now. It feels very much like Tom

484
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: to Tampa. We had all these young players that were

485
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: better than everybody thought except for like fantasy football players,

486
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: like all these like Judy and Courtland Sutton and this

487
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, Like unless you're a fantasy football player, you mean,

488
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: I understand the value, but they're all just ready to explode.

489
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean if teddy Bridgewater and Drew Locke had twenty

490
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns and nine picks, goes two and Vic Fangio with

491
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: the coach like offensive coach Russell, we're getting a thirty

492
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: and seven that we're getting around there pretty quickly. So okay,

493
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: do you throw this top five stuff around? Okayhomes Mahomes.

494
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to just make this a list show.

495
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: But let's just Mahomes Alan Herbert. Do we agree they're

496
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: all better than him? Those three? That's just three? Mahomet

497
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes Alan. Absolutely, you're not ready for Justin Herbert yet. Well,

498
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: he's got to have a winning record in the league.

499
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that he does. I he asked to

500
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: have a winning record in the league. Um. Justin Herbert,

501
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: by the way, has been the league two years, and

502
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: in those two years as one as many playoff games

503
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: as Russell Wilson the last two years, both with the

504
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: old goose egg. Um would you rather have Russ than

505
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers for time out? I didn't say that because, well,

506
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 1: Herbert's free right now. So if you're asking me as

507
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: a GM who I want, I'd take Herbert because I

508
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: have a Pam for two. No, that's fine. I move

509
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: on from the Herbert thing. I said, would you rather

510
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: have Russ than Rogers? Yes, Aaron. I think we have

511
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: a sixteen game playoff record, seven and nine at home,

512
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: often as a favorite. I think Aaron's into Aaron. I

513
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: don't think he has leadership skills. I have data that

514
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: proves he's not great coming from behind. He's a Baylor,

515
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: not a baller. He's not a foxhole guy. He's not optimistic.

516
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: He's more cynical. I think he I think he's a

517
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: bad hang. I think he wears people out. I don't

518
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: think he trusts many. That's that's a by the way,

519
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: that's been his issue family on. He doesn't trust people.

520
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm a I just know with Russell every

521
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: day all he thinks about his cr in football. I

522
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: don't think anything I think. And here's the thing. I

523
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: think you're like the guy who was in love in

524
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: love with this girl when you guys graduated high school

525
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: and then you both went to different colleges and he

526
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: came back, and she's given you all this evidence she's

527
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: a different person, and in your mind, she still as

528
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: she was four years ago. The Russell Wilson you fell

529
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: in love with. I don't know that that guy still exists.

530
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: He's not on the field, he's not as effective, and

531
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: off the field he seems like he's a bit of

532
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: a pain in the ass. Like I know he's your guy,

533
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: but he the whole I'm not demanding a trade, but

534
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: here are four teams I would go to be hold

535
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: on the ghost huddle on national television. Hey look at me, cameras,

536
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm you know, doing a whole huddle and a whole

537
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: two minute drill with no teammates, with my fingers broken,

538
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: and then having his doctor released that statement that seemed

539
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: like it came from Trump's White House doctor, this is

540
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: the greatest rehab of the greatest hand that you've ever seen.

541
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: I think it's I think your guy, Russell has got

542
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: in a little Hollywood. I think he's a little Hollywood Colin.

543
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: There are people in Seattle who do who did think

544
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: he's changed there. I've heard that from people around the Seahawks.

545
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: They thought he changed. And my takeaway is we all change.

546
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: He married one of the most beautiful people on the planet.

547
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl, he's got one hundred million

548
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: net worth, we all change. I think it is core.

549
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: He's an optimistic, aspirational, willful, focused guy. I think Aaron

550
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers at his core is needy, doesn't have a wide

551
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: net of social connections. I think he's odd. I think

552
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean again, look at all the teams getting better.

553
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: The packers just paid Aaron Rodgers more. I think listen

554
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: that part. I agree with you on I think the

555
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: whole Rodgers fiasco's mortifying for him. I like, I know

556
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: he ended up making a ton of money, but I

557
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: think it's an insane what happened there. I always think

558
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: is insane. I was talking to an agent. I had

559
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: dinner with an agent about three or four nights ago,

560
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: and he said, I've ever seen an athlete lose more

561
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: brand than aaront in a year. He's like, a lot

562
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: of people want nothing to do with this. I've never

563
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: seen an athlete lose you know, whether it's Q rating

564
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: or popularity or anything without committing a crime faster than

565
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has, Like you know what I mean, Like

566
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: the this is it's remarkable, what the you know, the

567
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: way he's viewed now as opposed to twelve months ago.

568
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean literally, he's the highest paid quarterback in the league,

569
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: and he gets into semantics and he didn't like the

570
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: word used by Ian Rappaport. It's like, dude, you're the

571
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: highest paid quarterback in the league. End of debate. Of course, um,

572
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: you said agent. It made me think of someone because

573
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: I was when I was thinking about the quarterbacks. What

574
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: do you make of the Lamar thing? Why didn't Lamar

575
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: have a deal? Did Lamar Jackson? Like? What do you?

576
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: I know it started to just throw that at you,

577
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: but I thought of it because he doesn't seem to

578
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: have an agent. I would argue, of all the quarterbacks

579
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: in the league, the one who should most want long

580
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: term security is the one who rushes for a thousand

581
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: yards a year. Like, that's crazy to me that he

582
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: hasn't signed a new deal. Well, Lamar's initial brand was

583
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: undervalued and then very quickly turned to perhaps overvalued. He

584
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: can't play from behind. Baltimore, like New England, pays infrequently

585
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: drafts to replace. Everybody eventually is willing to pay. But

586
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: you know, I've read multiple reports that say they're in discussions.

587
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: Bushatti likes him, John Harbaugh supports him. But I was

588
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: on the Lamar's undervalued until last year, and then I thought,

589
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to keep my eyes open. Is

590
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: he a tad overvalued? I'm not sure he's either. But

591
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: would you have some concerns when you look at the

592
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: trajectory of Herbert and Joe Burrow? Oh, I would have

593
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: major concerns and major concerns if I'm the Ravens's but

594
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I but from what I understand, I think the Ravens

595
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: have made him some offers. Like it's not like they're like,

596
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: we're not signing you now. Maybe they're not signing him

597
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: at forty five million a year. Maybe it's closer to

598
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: thirty five million a year. My point is this, I think,

599
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: given his playing style and that he didn't play great

600
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: last year, if I if I were advising him, I

601
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: would say, you have to sign the contract. Maybe you

602
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: cost yourself a total of twelve million dollars, but not

603
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: signing the contract, you might cost yourself a hundred million.

604
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: Like how much did Baker cost himself by not signing

605
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: whatever the Brown's best last offer was, It might have

606
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: been one hundred million that he calls himself seventy five million.

607
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think for some of these guys

608
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: that aren't short things or are bigger injury risks than

609
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: others the whole. And I've talked about this before. Betting

610
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: on yourself sounds great except for when it doesn't work out.

611
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: When it doesn't work out, it's a Greek tragedy. It's

612
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: not a story of inspiration. And I worry about Lamar

613
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: in this regard. I think it's why Kayler's like, you

614
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: gotta pay me right now. And I'd be skeptical about

615
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: paying Kayler too, Like I wouldn't be a big fan

616
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: of that, But I understand why he's doing that. He

617
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: knows how big he is, he knows what's happening in

618
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the years. I think Lamar not

619
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: doing everything he can to get a new contract is crazy.

620
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy. I think his mother is still

621
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: his agent. I know. That's That's what I'm saying. Like

622
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: I think it's I don't think it's great. I don't

623
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: think he's getting great advice. All right, you and your

624
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: wife have a new podcast. I didn't know if she

625
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: was on it. Now she is, well, she is on

626
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: it very intermittently, but my site kick on it. The

627
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: person asked me my questions is asking me the questions

628
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: is my son, So it's him and I with my

629
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: wife and daughters chiming in occasionally. But yeah, it starts Tuesday,

630
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for it and I hope people she

631
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: can like and subscribe and everything. And I want to

632
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: say something because someone sent you a tweet and I

633
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: don't want to get two in the weeds on anything,

634
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: but I happen to see it and it said they

635
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: were mad at you. They were like, Uncle Colin, I'm

636
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: disappointed that you didn't have Nick as a part of

637
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: the volume. And one day, you know, that's a story

638
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: for the memoirs for both of us, but that is

639
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: a story for my last book. That is a story.

640
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: But I want America to know that Colin I both

641
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, did everything we could to make sure that

642
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: we could continue to work together in every capacity possible.

643
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: And Colin's hand has been open and out and assisting

644
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: me in every step of my journey the last six years.

645
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: So the idea that anyone would think you snubbed me

646
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: from the volume, I want to nip that in the bud.

647
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: That didn't happen. But like like Colin alud Doo earlier,

648
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: we all have different you know, contractual stuff and so.

649
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: But I'm very excited about this podcast that's starting on Tuesday.

Speaker 1: Cowboys Super Bowl twenty seven, So you are one of

663
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: the last American standing who loves Mitch Trubisky. No no, no,

664
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: no no, I'm one of two because which you've talked

665
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: about today in your blind resumes. I watched that and

666
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: you have completely confused the National Football League world. That

667
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: was fantastic I'm telling you it, but it's a fact.

668
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: It truly is, and I really think calling it with

669
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: mister Trubisky, a lot has to do with and don't

670
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: put Troy Aikman's numbers up for Terry Bradshaw's the first

671
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: four years. I mean, because they might be worse, and

672
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: a lot has to do with the system that you're in.

673
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: And that was my only that was my only battle

674
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: cry in supporting Mitch. Yeah, and I said this, I

675
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: was never a huge Traubisky fan, but the Steelers have

676
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: much better perimeter weapons offensively, Chase Claypool and Deante Johnson.

677
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: They have. They just got another offensive lineman today. They

678
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: have a better offensive line potentially than he had in Chicago,

679
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: and they have a better defense. They've led the NFL

680
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: and sacks Fife raight years, and they have a better

681
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 1: coach in Mike Tomlin. So my thing is, I saw

682
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: case Keenum when eleven games in this league, when he

683
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 1: had the right supporting cast. You can't tell me this

684
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: Steeler team is better than that Bears team. And he

685
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs twice with that Bears team, and

686
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: you kept telling me, you're like Colin, he has limitations

687
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: there is a way to win with him. And that

688
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: was your assertion, right absolutely, and I still agree with that.

689
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: And I watched them obviously every week doing shows in

690
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: Chicago and was a training camp, and the first thing

691
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: that got my attention was with a lot of quarterbacks

692
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: without getting in other names, the intangibles on this kid

693
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: are a plus. And by that I mean in early, stay, late,

694
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: study it, team, guy, humble, I mean all of those things.

695
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: Give the kid a chance. And now when you got

696
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: some ability, I just think it was a bad mix

697
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. You know, Matt Nagee did not

698
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: draft him, and he wanted to run a system that

699
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: was different and it just wasn't a fifth But the

700
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: kid won games when he had chances. And so I

701
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: think now in Pittsburgh and you didn't even mention Harris

702
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: nage Harris, maybe you know all rookie running back that

703
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers have. So the Steelers and Mike Tomlin, they're

704
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna play defense and they're gonna run the ball, and

705
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a great fit for the guy. And

706
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: whether they draft a rookie, they might be thinking in

707
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: the back of the mind, the Steelers still need to

708
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: draft a rookie running back or a quarterback. I'm sorry,

709
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: and that's fine, you know, but give Mitch a chance,

710
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: and let's say in two years, experience up there playing

711
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: behind Josh Allen with Brian dave Ball as his offensive

712
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: coordinate helps. Running a system helps a lot. Running a

713
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: system where the quarterback run was a big part of

714
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo's offense with Josh Allen, you know what I mean. So,

715
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers are going to have a lot of good

716
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: film the study of what they believe this kid can

717
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: do best. I think it's a good I love it.

718
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for this kid. I said today, if

719
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: you told me Tah or Trubisky, because of his athletic

720
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: ability and the ability to move the polit I would

721
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: take Trubisky over toa absolutely, and the ability I think

722
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: to throw the ball down the field. Trubisky is a

723
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: lot better athlete than people give him credit for. Any question. Guy,

724
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: he's a tough guy. I mean, this kid is. So

725
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: I think it's a good fit. I like it. Like

726
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: I said, now, you know, I'm not gonna I'm not

727
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: going overboard. If the Steelers draft the Willis kid from Liberty,

728
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: I know they're high on him. In the draft, so be,

729
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: it's going to take that kid a couple of years

730
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: to get ready. Let's see what happens with Mitch. Yeah,

731
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: and I think something you know the Steelers in the

732
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: front office very well. The other thing is, and you

733
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: touched on this, he's a Mitch as a Steeler kid,

734
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: hard working, not a big ego. You know, I said

735
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: this about Big Ben. Ben was a polarizing figure. I

736
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: made one call today that somebody that knew Trubisky in

737
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: Chicago and they're like, everybody loved him. Ben could split

738
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: locker rooms. He had trouble with Lavian, he had trouble

739
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: with offensive coordinators Todd Haley, he had trouble with ab

740
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: My guy, said Jay Cutler. Polarizing in Chicago, big band,

741
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: polarizing in Pittsburgh. He's like everybody loved Trubisky. He feels

742
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: like a Pittsburgh guy. That's what I might take. What

743
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: he works, Yeah, yeah, and that's the way he plays

744
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: the game. He works and he plays that way. No,

745
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a good fit. I think for the Steelers.

746
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, they were not going to give away three

747
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: number one picks for Deshaun Watson. I mean, that wasn't

748
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: going to happen. I'll tell you what. Talking to people

749
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: back there, they've seen enough of of Rudolf Mason Rudolph,

750
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: They've seen enough of Haskins. You know, they want to

751
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: Ben's gone, let's let's have a clean slate and let's

752
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: move forward. So it's it's a good and the and

753
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. He loves the movement stuff. You know,

754
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: he did a lot so that he's not a Matt Canada.

755
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: You know Matt Canada when he was at Pitton and

756
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 1: he had Peterman there. I mean they did a lot

757
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: of the jet sweeps and all that college I hate

758
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: to say colleague stuff, but that's kind of what he

759
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: did and had successful that Ben couldn't do that. Let

760
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: me tell you something. You rushed four guys against mister Biski.

761
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: You look up in your blind resume. How many first

762
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: dons he made with his feet. It's a big number.

763
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: He'll make plays with his feet. You can't fall in

764
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: love with things that have worked before, but you do

765
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: know as a coach there are certain recipes that work.

766
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: And if you go look at Belichick's five years in Cleveland,

767
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: the last two years in New England, the year Brady

768
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: got hurt and New England before Brady started the Bledsoe

769
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: years without Tommy's won forty seven percent of his games.

770
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 1: And I think Bill's brilliant. But this is something Rex

771
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: Ryan said for years. He's like, listen, Brady changes the equation.

772
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: He's like a movie star in an average script. You know,

773
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of those funny movies wouldn't be as funny

774
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: without Jim Carrey. He made the movie right. Otherwise it's

775
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: a bad, stupid movie. And I look at Belichick. They

776
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: let Shack Mason go, they let J. C. Jackson go. Hell,

777
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: they're not paying Mac Jones. They're in a division with

778
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: wildly deep and talented Buffalo. My thing is, listen, I

779
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: know Belichick can coach. They don't have enough star players, Dave.

780
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: They got Matt Judon who vanished at the end of

781
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: the season. They don't have any perimeter playmakers. What do

782
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: you make I mean, hell, they're not paying Mac Jones.

783
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: Who are they paying? Yeah, it did surprise me a

784
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: little bit with the when Jackson got away, you know,

785
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: because I thought they'd resign him. You know. Again, Bill

786
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: obviously has an opinion on that we're not aware of,

787
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: or we're not privy to you know, I would just

788
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: say this regardless of who plays. And we can talk

789
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: Mac Jones versus Tom Brady, the foundation of the Patriot way.

790
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's use that what Bill Belichick wants to do, not

791
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, be one of the least penalized teams,

792
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 1: be good in the special teams. It doesn't matter who

793
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: the players are. That formula doesn't change. And I think

794
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: where coaches get into problems all of a sudden, they

795
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: get a player that's a great drop back passer and

796
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: they change their whole philosophy and then they end up

797
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: throwing interceptions and it doesn't work out. Where Bill and

798
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:50,479
Speaker 1: search players into the mold that he wants his team

799
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: to be. And he's done that since Cleveland. I mean

800
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: you can back and look, we played Cleveland when he

801
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: was up there, and I practiced against him when he

802
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: was at Cleveland. He came out three years in a

803
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: row to Chicago, to Platteville to the Bears when I

804
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: was the head coach of the Bears and uh, and

805
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: we worked against each other and it was the it

806
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: was the blueprint that they were going to do. And

807
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: you saw that. The issue with Mac Jones, it was

808
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: going to be high percentage passes, a lot of screens.

809
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: Run the ball, don't turn it over. One of the

810
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: least fedalized teams in the league, play good defense. I mean,

811
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: that's the formula. So I uh, you know, you know, yeah,

812
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was the difference. I remember a playoff game

813
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: where we lost to him, and I remember North Turner,

814
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: uh callby and he says, take a look at this,

815
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: and they I think we had fifteen third dons and

816
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: they had fifteen third dons, and in our quarterback, Jay Feeler,

817
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: I think he completed you know, eight of the third

818
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: of the fifteen third dons and Brady completed eleven or twelve,

819
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: and it was those three passes that made the difference

820
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: in them getting first dons and winning the game by

821
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: three points. You know. So I think that Tom Brady,

822
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: a player of his caliber, does make a difference. But

823
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: my point is this that Tom Brady played within the

824
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: framework of the Patriot way. You know, his skill did

825
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: not meant that he even though he could have done

826
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: more in his mind, he didn't. He didn't. And so

827
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: I think that's that's Bill Belichick. There's a lot of credit.

828
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these coaches will will swing

829
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: one way or another, depending completely on the players they lose,

830
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: and they lose the foundation of what they're trying to build.

831
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen in New England. You never will. You

832
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: know the Chicago Bears, Well, here's what worries me. Rookie GM,

833
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: a defensive coach in a league that is increasingly offensive.

834
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: Should I be worried? If I'm a Bears fan? Justin

835
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: Fields now probably gonna lose Allen Robinson offensive line still

836
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:59,760
Speaker 1: work in progress? A defensive head coach? Are how much?

837
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: And you know this organization? Well, are you a little concerned?

838
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: Off a turbulent year one? About year two? For him? No?

839
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I have. This is encouraged. I've

840
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: been about the Bears organization in years and let me

841
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: tell you two things. Two things. Number one, you know,

842
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: the offense is young. David Montgomery Mooney, the tight end commences,

843
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: you know, the rookie end. You know he's They've got

844
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: two young offensive linemen and I think they're going to

845
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: be players. They are a young offense, Justin Fields and

846
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: the problem that the Bears would have had if they

847
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: keep all these veteran guys that Danny Trebasins and the

848
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. Yeah, you know. I mean in two years,

849
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, when the offense reaches the peak of a

850
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: championship level play, the defense would have been old or

851
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: out of contracts. So I like, I love what they're doing.

852
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: They are saying right now, you know what, we are

853
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: going to go young. We got a young football team.

854
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna draft young players, We're gonna coach young players,

855
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 1: and we're gonna bring this whole franchise to the top.

856
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think that's smart. The second

857
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: thing why I love a defensive head coach, I mean

858
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: they he understands the importance of running the football. And

859
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, in three of the coaches that they hired

860
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: on offense, Luke Getsy was on my staff at Pitt,

861
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: Andrew Janoko their quarterback coach, was a backup quarterback for me,

862
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: a Pit and David Walker, they're running back coach who

863
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: they hired was with me six years of pit. They

864
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: all get the running game and they understand it. It's

865
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: gonna be the best thing that could have happened for

866
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Is Justin Field's going to be a great player.

867
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know we all hope so, but we're gonna

868
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: find out because he's gonna be in an offense now.

869
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: It truly gives him a chance to be successful. They're

870
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball, they're gonna play defense, they're gonna

871
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: play field position, and that's in my mind, that's what

872
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: a young quarterback really needs until he gets his confidence

873
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: and until he gets this swigger a little bit. So

874
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out because Justin Fields is going to

875
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: get the best chance and this system with these coaches

876
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: to be successful. So I like what they're doing personnel wise,

877
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: and I like what they're doing philosophy wise. I really do.

878
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: I would have thought you hated the Khalil Mack move.

879
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,760
Speaker 1: You like pass rushers. I do. But you know, between

880
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack last year, between you, I'm just gonna Kleil

881
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: Mack a team Hicks and uh Cohen a little running

882
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: back that they let go. Between those three guys, they

883
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: played three percent of the snaps, three percent of the

884
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: play of their place. I mean, because of injuries. It's age,

885
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: it's injuries. It's time to move on, new regime, new coach,

886
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: new energy, it's you got to do it. It's time

887
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: to move on, and uh, I'm all for it, you know.

888
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: I hope I love Khalil Mack. I hope he has

889
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: a great year with the charts. I really do it

890
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: all these other guys, but get those young guys in

891
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: there and build this team together. At the Volume Sports, Twitter, Instagram,
