The legend himself, Peyton Manning talked about the 15 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Niners and trade lance what he looks for when evaluating 16 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: college quarterbacks. Also my go to Cowboys guy, Matt Mosley. 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: He's a guy covers the Cowboys completely straight shooter nobs 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: With Mosley, are they becoming the NFL's new version of 19 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders under Al Davis at the end And Chad 20 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: Millman my Week one bets? Are they sharp or square? 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: But first my top takes of the week. You know, 22 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,919 Speaker 1: I've always thought it's interesting. A long time ago, somebody 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: was asking me about social media, and I said, it's 24 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: too often a place where less successful people go to 25 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: tell more successful people how to do things. Jim Harbaugh's 26 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: really successful, I don't know. In his entire life, smart kids, 27 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: beautiful wife, played in the NFL San Diego one, Stanford one, 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl in the NFL Michigan one. He's been successful 29 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: at every venture in his life. Dad, husband, player, coach, 30 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: college pro Nick Saban embarrassed himself in the NFL. Steve 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Spurrier Urban Meyer were disasters in the NFL. Jimmy Johnson, 32 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, and Jim Harbaugh won in both leagues. So 33 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: Michigan has rated fourth in the latest Associated Press poll. 34 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: But please, less successful people tell me what adult Jim 35 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: Harball is. It's amazing how people can seriously criticize Harbaugh, 36 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: whose coaching career borders on unrivaled folks, Ninety percent of 37 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: college coaches get fired. Harbaugh is three for three San Diego, Stanford, Michigan, 38 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Michigan's average ten wins since he arrived. Take out the 39 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: COVID sea. That's a train wreck for everybody. They're in 40 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: the top four. He'd just beat Ohio State. And Michigan 41 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: is not an easy school. They don't accept every recruit. 42 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: It's harder to get some kids into Michigan. It's an 43 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: elite school, elite law school, elite medical school. This is 44 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: not a place where you can get anybody in harder 45 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: win at Michigan. It's a great school. So you know, 46 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: I just like I laugh at all these critics of 47 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: Jim Harball. Where is he failed ever? Ever? Show it 48 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: to me. You don't have to like him, like you 49 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: don't have to like Brian Kelly. But folks, if you 50 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: do something and you succeed in multiple places, Bill Parcels 51 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: turned around four different pro football teams. He's good at 52 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: what he's done. Like, where is Harbaugh ever failed? I mean, 53 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: even the people who love Saban would have to acknowledge 54 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: the NFL was a bit of a shit show for him. 55 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of stories that he couldn't get 56 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: along with players. Nobody could look him in the eye. 57 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: And I like Nick save It a lot, but he 58 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: was a little too rigid, a little too pro system 59 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: over player. Harbaugh took a disaster with the forty nine ers, 60 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: got him to a Super Bowl left and they were 61 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: a disaster forty five minutes later. So when I look 62 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: at Michigan, they're not in Georgia's class or Alabama's class. 63 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: In most years, they're not as good as Ohio State. 64 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: But Ohio State's probably right now the third best program 65 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: in America some of our you second, there's one hundred 66 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: and thirty programs if Michigan is between five and twenty, 67 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: and you know they are. He's done a great job 68 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: at Michigan, by the way, never been busted for any 69 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: recruiting scandal. So he does things right. It takes him 70 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: a little longer. He's not going to roll the dice 71 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: on some of these recruits. And a lot of the 72 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: Michigan boosters, this is a very refined university. A lot 73 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: of these southern schools they'll just get into bidding wars 74 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: for a high school football player. Michigan's a little different. 75 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: They're boosters. It's not gonna be a cash grabbed buy 76 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: high schoolers. They're not gonna do it. I respect that, 77 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: but God, the constant negativity around Jim Harball look in 78 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: the mirror. Good God. If most people in America could 79 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: be just as successful as he was in his first job, 80 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: it's San Diego. That would be an incredible coaching career. 81 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: If you turn around one program, you turn around three 82 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: and got to a Super Bowl, and the Niners hanged 83 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: when he left, I'll never get it. You know, people 84 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: complain that the media has agendas, and I think fans 85 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: are often right that the media has agendas. But fans 86 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: have agendas too. If you don't get what Hardba has 87 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: done in his career, you've got an agenda. The only 88 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: program in America that can kind of look down on 89 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: him is Ohio State because they play him every year 90 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: and they've dominated that series. Well. Ohio State, historically, he's 91 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 1: a better football program, not always better, not every year better, 92 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: but Ohio State is the one Northern school in America 93 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: that feels like a Southern, dedicated, focus, committed, wealthy football program. 94 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: I've said that for years. Ohio State feels like if 95 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: you put him in the SEC, they'd fit right in. Socially, academically, 96 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: athletically commitment, they'd fit right in. Michigan feels like a 97 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: Northern academic football power. They should be proud. It's a 98 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: great school. I wish I would have gone there. But 99 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: I mean, look yourself in the mirror. If you're still 100 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: banging on the media that has agendas and you're criticizing 101 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, it's a layup, folks. That's an easy one. 102 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: He's really good at what he does. He's different, he's unique, 103 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: he's outspoken. You don't have to love what he's doing. 104 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: Not everybody loves what Dabbo Sweeney says. Not everybody loves 105 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: how Saban acts. Oftentimes we think something is wonderful, we 106 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: demand something, we want something, and then there's an unintended 107 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: consequence of that thing. A great example. People just complain 108 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: about cable. Your cable bill was too expensive. I want streaming. 109 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: Streaming is great. Netflix is great? Streaming well, Netflix, Yes, 110 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: it was very successful and is and because of that, 111 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: many big corporations like Amazon and Disney have also gotten 112 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: into streaming. Now there's like fifteen to twenty streaming services 113 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: all charging meine nine or more per month. Now it 114 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: costs more than my cable and it's hard to keep 115 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: track of all the passwords and codes. How many times 116 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: have you thought, oh, I heard there's a great there's 117 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: a great show. Oh, I forgot what streaming service it's on. 118 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: I try to watch something the other day on the 119 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: Actor Army Hammer. It was on Discovery Plus. It took 120 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: me ten minutes to sign up for Discovery Plus. Cable. 121 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: I contend, and I've always said this, if you like 122 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: college basketball and college football, you have to have cable. 123 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: And it's one of the great values in America. I 124 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: pay one hundred and twenty a month and I get 125 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: unbelievable college athletics three hundred and sixty five days a year. 126 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm keeping my cable and I think about that because 127 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: the transfer portal in college football is really viewed as 128 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: a gigantic win for everybody. Right, the player has mobility, 129 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: Your team can solve a problem very quickly. Here's the 130 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: unintended consequence of it. It's important that Brian Kelly and 131 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and Mario crystal Ball don't win eleven or 132 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: twelve games this year because there's like ten to twelve 133 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: great brands in college football. Maybe ten USC is one 134 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: of those. Right, you know you're Alabama's, Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, 135 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. If it becomes so easy to take one 136 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: of those top ten brands and win immediately with no struggle. 137 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: Then why would you stay at a really good job 138 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: like Michigan State, a really good job like Wisconsin, you know, Virginia, Tech, Oregon? 139 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: Why stay at those jobs? If the transfer portal is 140 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: some magic elixir to immediately at a big brand Obama, USC, 141 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: Oklahoma solve all your issues. You want it to be 142 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: hard for even a great coach to go to a 143 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: big brand. You want him to struggle because in the 144 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: back of his mind, if he's got a good job 145 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: or a very good job, you don't want him thinking, God, 146 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: just get me to an Alabama, Just get me to 147 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: an Oklahoma. Just get me to a USC, or a 148 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Notre Dame or a Miami. I mean Nick Saban seven 149 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: and six, first year, Pete Carroll USC six and six, 150 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: first year, Kirby Smart eight and five. It took dabbled 151 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: with Sweeney, it comes in four years. Yeah, it's important 152 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: that it's hard, even at LSU, even at USC, even 153 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: at Miami, even at Texas, even at Notre Dame, even 154 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: at Michigan. You want it to be kind of hard, 155 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: even if you're Jim Harbat Michigan. You don't want to 156 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: winning twelve games the first year. So the unintended consequence 157 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: of the transfer portal is that it may make it 158 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: really easy. I mean, did you notice this weekend the 159 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: SEC went fourteen and one. Why because in the transfer portal, 160 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: those are the richest college football programs, those that had little, 161 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: tiny issues, paid for them and solve them in the 162 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: off season. You want an SEC program if they fire 163 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: a coach in bringing a new one, you want it 164 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: to be a two year battle to get back to 165 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: the top. So the transfer portal is wonderful, but I 166 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: think there has to be some parameters, and I hope, 167 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: I hope we don't have coaches transferring to the level 168 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: of players. I want Brian to Kelly to stay at 169 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: LSU for seven eight years, but I want him to 170 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: battle it for a year or two. Now. Lincoln Riley's different. 171 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: He needs to win a national championship in four months. 172 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: That would appease me. There are exceptions to every rule 173 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: in life.

You have 210 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: Omaha Productions, which is that you guys do a lot 211 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: of B on B business on business stuff. Very successful 212 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: you've had. You know, I don't want to get into 213 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: your private investments. But you've done really, really well. But 214 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: in those investments, I do feel like and I know, 215 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: I know you've been in a liquor business. You're currently 216 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: in it. I am in it, and you're very committed 217 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: to it. You'll you'll call the bar owner. That's the game, right, 218 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: You're a committed guy. And when your name comes up 219 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: for front office jobs, I've said, yeah, he's got the 220 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: commitment and the intellect. That's not what I worry about. 221 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: But it's being a GM's weird because you got often 222 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: a crazy owner above you, and these guys are billionaires 223 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: and nobody tells them no. The second thing is you've 224 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: played in this league. Some of it's guessing, like you 225 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: can do all the tape shit. Some of it Peyton 226 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: is guessing. And somebody asked me once I said, I 227 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: don't think Peyton wants to get into the guessing business, 228 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: and everybody says, oh, I said, I could see him 229 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: being an owner. I could even see the coach thing 230 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: a little, although I didn't have the time. But I 231 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: think a lot of people see you because of your 232 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: intellect as a general manager. And for me, I've always 233 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: thought there's a lot of moving parts you can't control there. 234 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: How do you view it? Yeah, I don't see at 235 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: GM in my future. Coach on the offensive coordinator on 236 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: my son Marshall's sixth grade football team. We got beaten 237 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: overtime on Saturday, and Uh, a couple of my players 238 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: asked me why I ran the ball so much in 239 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: the red song. So I think coaching in my future 240 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: is also out because, Uh, hearing that from a couple 241 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: of sixth graders was tough. Hearing that from a thirty 242 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: two year old wide receiver a quarterback, Hey, I haven't 243 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: got the ball. What are you doing? I think that's out. Um. 244 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: Being a resource to quarterbacks, to tow rookies, to coaches, 245 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: to general managers. I love doing that. And you know, 246 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: in the six years i've been retired, I felt like 247 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: I've kind of been a resource to a number of 248 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: different people that have my number, either that I you know, 249 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: talk to about Monday night football the broadcast and said, Hey, 250 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: by the way, let me ask you something in the 251 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: two minute drill? Did you call everything? Did y'all stay 252 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: in the same formation? Seem like I've got a lot 253 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: of plays in and I would just go, yeah, actually 254 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: we did. We lined up in the same formation, and 255 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: that might be to Matt Lafloor, the head coach of 256 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: the Packers. And so I've enjoyed being that resource to 257 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: lots of different people. And you know, if there was 258 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: a team to be a resource for specifically, sure something 259 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: like that. But a general manager what you know John 260 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: Lynch has done at San Francisco and George Payton is 261 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: doing here in Denver. Hey, I'm not qualified to do it. 262 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: I really don't think that I am. And it's just 263 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: not something that that's in my cards. You're right, I mean, 264 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: it is a gift, it is a talent. You are 265 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: going all in on a draft choice and you're behind him, 266 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden two years in you realize, Kally, 267 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: this guy is just not the player that I thought 268 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: he was right and everybody's gonna say made this huge mistake. So, um, yeah, 269 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be good at the guessing. And U I 270 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: don't see that in my cards by any means. I 271 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: want to ask you about repetitions. Part of quarterback play, 272 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: the verbal repetition, the film repetition. Accuracy comes pretty easy 273 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: to you, you know, Joe Burrow feels like it just 274 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: it comes easy, the ball comes out. Kyler Murray's got 275 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: just a nice baseball rhythm to it. Um. I watched 276 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and esthetically it's not pretty. Now, Philip Rivers 277 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: wasn't and he's pretty accurate. Right, you know, there's there's 278 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: arguments about Josh Allen. So I watched two Josh Allen 279 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: college games because I heard about this kid from Wyoming. 280 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: So I watched the Oregon game in the Iowa game, 281 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh boy, there's this is a lot 282 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: of work. This is a raw pony said that somebody 283 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: needs he needs a trainer. And all of a sudden 284 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: you look up and it's like, Okay, Matt Stafford has 285 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: been really successful. He's about a sixty one sixty two 286 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: percent completion guy. So you don't have to be you, 287 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: you don't have to be Kirk Cousins. But do you 288 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: kind of where do you land Payton on coaching accuracy? 289 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: Where do you land on that? Because Trey Lance worries me. Yeah. Look, 290 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean the better timing you have with your receivers, 291 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: the more accurate you can be. Obviously, there's a better 292 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: chance to consistently move the ball right every time you 293 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: receive a kickoff. I got an accurate quarterback. He knows 294 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: where to go. He's playing, he's been playing with these 295 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: receivers for a couple of years. I think we can 296 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: go eighty yards on every single possession. Right, That's kind 297 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: of how we felt when we played, right. We didn't 298 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: care where we got the ball on the kickoff. I mean, 299 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: I used to get so mad at you know, a 300 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: block in the back on a kick return. I'm like, 301 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: just get me to the twenty. Give it to the twenty. 302 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: We can score, all right, but starting on the ten 303 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: because you clipped that was always annoying to me. And 304 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: that player never had to answer in a quarterback meeting room, right, 305 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: because he's probably like a safety that clipped that. You know, 306 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: special teams meetings are separate. So anyway, I'm getting off subject. 307 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: If you're not super accurate as a coordinator, you're gonna 308 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: have him. You're gonna have to pick and choose your times, 309 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: when to take shots, when to try to have these 310 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: explosive plays to shorten drives. Right, it might be a 311 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: sprint right, throwback screen to Kintel, it's gonna get us 312 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: fifty yards and now we're in the red zone. Now 313 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: we can maybe get a touchdown. So but for Trey, 314 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean to me, it's about the reps. Right. Anytime 315 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: you're in quarterback competitions, right or not, getting on the field, 316 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: your accuracy, your decision making, your play is always going 317 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: to be challenged. Right. The best way to learn is 318 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: on the field, right, twenty eight interceptions the rookie we 319 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: won three games, But what I learned in that rookie season, 320 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way we're going thirteen and three 321 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: the next year if I don't play every game as 322 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: a rookie. Eli says that the six games he started 323 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: with the Giants compared to the ten he sat behind 324 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, no comparison at all. Right, all in the field, 325 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: get in there, See just how fast these linebackers are. 326 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: See how much ground these safeties can cover. And you 327 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: don't really get that in practice. You don't get that 328 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: in the preseason. You get that in games. Right. In 329 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: Division games are faster than nine division games. Playoff games 330 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: are faster than regular season. Right, So you know, for trades, 331 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: just get him in there and let them learn and 332 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: hopefully you can win at the same time. Right, the 333 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: forty nine ers are used to winning right, they're not 334 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: looking for a three and thirteen season, like you know, 335 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: first pick in the draft. There's a reason that team's 336 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: picking first in the draft column because they stink, right, 337 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: you know. And so that was tough for me as 338 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: a rook But I think the supporting cast around Trey 339 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: Samuel will Kittle, I think they can give him a 340 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: chance of success. And I think Kyle Shanahan knows the 341 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: positions to keep Trey in to give him a chance 342 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: to be successful. I want to shift because I love 343 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: college football. You love college football, and I went to 344 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: the USC game this weekend. By the way, Caleb Williams 345 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: when you're live at the game, man, he is instinctive. Peyton, 346 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: It's crazy, like I is like nineteen twenty. I couldn't 347 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: believe how instinctive he was. When I watch college coaches, 348 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: I always feel like seventeen hours, nineteen year old kids, 349 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: just show me that you're not going to waste timeouts, 350 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: show me you can manipulate personnel, Like my standard is lower. 351 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: When you look at some of these college quarterbacks, what 352 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: do you look at like with Caleb, I'm like, wow, 353 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: instincts are good. Same delivery system short, flat, deep, seam 354 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: all looks the same. It's like a picture change up 355 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: fastball curve. Nothing looks different. The batter doesn't get any 356 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: hedges or ticks. So when you look, because we have 357 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: five quarterbacks this year, they're entering their second year and 358 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: we're already seeing some tells, some guys young, some guys 359 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: not accurate. What do you look for when you see 360 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: a college quarterback. You know, it's funny because I get 361 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: to see a lot of these these kids in person 362 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: at our football camp. We have this football camp for 363 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: high school kids. It's called the Manning Pass Academy, but 364 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: it's turned into sort of a double pay it forward, 365 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: and they were coaching the high school kids, but this 366 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: past year we had forty starting college quarterbacks come and 367 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: coach the high school kids that counselors in the camp. 368 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: But in between practices, when the high school kids are 369 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: eating lunch or you know, taking a nap or taking 370 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: a shower, Eli and I are out there throwing with 371 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: these college quarterbacks or doing a chalk talk. We're not 372 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: throwing anymore because you know, no one wants to see 373 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: five yard hitches thrown all day by a forty six 374 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: year old quarterback. But we're kind of running the drills, 375 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: and I'm doing the same drills that I used to do. So, look, 376 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: you can get fooled by how impressive a guy is 377 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: in what I would call routes versus air. Right, you're 378 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: throwing routes. There's no defense, there's no pass trush, there's 379 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: no corner, and guys can wow you and go wow, 380 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: this guy can really throw or he can really spin it, 381 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: which is my least favorite term in all of football. 382 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: He can spin it. I don't know what that means. 383 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: Can he play? Can he leading? He moved the change, 384 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. You know, spin it? 385 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean name somebody through the years, 386 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford through it as well as anybody who ever 387 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: had at the camp worked out for him. Andrew Luck, 388 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: I remember, didn't throw it all that well now because 389 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: everybody knows who he is and they expect every throw 390 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: to be a perfect spiral and right on on the target. 391 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: You know that probably works against Andrew because you know, oh, 392 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: he's not as good as I thought he was. Well, 393 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: because you thought he was never gonna throw it in completion, right. 394 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell threw it as well, as anybody we ever had. 395 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: One time we were on the twenty yard line throwing 396 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: out and he almost ran the receiver into the goalpost. 397 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: My dad's like, you got to back up, Peyton. I'm like, Dad, 398 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: he just threw it, you know, eighty five yards. I 399 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: didn't know he was going to throw it that far. 400 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: You know, forty seven yards is my maximum, you know, 401 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: deep pattern, so you can get fooled. And that Bryce 402 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Young was there this past year, right, didn't while you 403 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: with his arm strength or accuracy. But what impressed me 404 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: about him is that, I mean, he is calm, he 405 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: is cool, he is in control, and that's what you 406 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: see translate on the field. Right. So I'm looking for leadership. 407 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking for presidents and on the field, I'm looking 408 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: for decision making. Right. Do they make good decisions? Right? 409 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: That's what That's what really matters. Right. You know, while 410 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: in somebody in a private working out at the combine 411 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: or at your own you know campus where the weather 412 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: is perfect and you got your favorite song playing in 413 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: the background to get you hyped up, that doesn't do 414 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: much for me, right, I want to see good decisions. 415 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: I want to see how they lead a drive after 416 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: they throw an interception, right, That's what's gonna show me something. Right, 417 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: do they put it behind them or do they you know, 418 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: let it drag on and they throw another interception and 419 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: make a bad decision. So anyway, so going back to 420 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: that guessing game, you can get food by you know, 421 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: certain quarterbacks, but I think the guys that are leading, 422 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: the guys that have presence, you know, the guys through 423 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: the years that I've been to that camp. You see that, 424 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: and you see that translating to success in the NFL. 425 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: He's my friend. He's Matt Mosley, part of the Highliest 426 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: successful Doomsday podcast with Edward or They talk a lot 427 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: of Dallas cowboys, that's what they do. And we haven't 428 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: had Mosley on for a while, and his relevance and 429 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: wit are highly in demand and we feel very lucky 430 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: today that we have him. So first of all, I 431 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: hear I see this Jason Peters move today, the left 432 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: tackle who was moved about as well as a coffee 433 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: table with the Bears, and I thought, holy god, this 434 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: is awful. What do you make of that signing? How's 435 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: it playing in Dallas? You know, it is Desperate Times 436 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: signing and it's playing as here is a former Arkansas 437 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: player who Jerry Jones is going to feel comfortable with. 438 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: But he's forty years old. I believe we looked up 439 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: his birthday. He'll be forty one. And while in some 440 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: you know things in life, that's a nice young age, 441 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: certainly not to play left tackle, and so I don't 442 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: I think it's brought even more attention to already sort 443 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: of a bad situation. And so I kind of love 444 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: how they're playing it in the last twenty four hours 445 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: since he's gotten here. As of today, it's being played 446 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: is almost like he's a tutor. You know, we brought 447 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: in this unbelievable mentor for Tyler Smith and it'll just 448 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: be knock another coach and he'll be in Tyler Smith's 449 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: ere when the reality of this is he's here because 450 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: there is a decent chance this could be a disastrous 451 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: situation for the Cowboys. And that's not even a knock 452 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: on this player, Tyler Smith. But they wanted him nowhere 453 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: near left tackle, and that is where he's going to 454 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: start his NFL career. Wow, you know I've made this 455 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: comparison on the air. I don't know if they did 456 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: it last time with you I think the Cowboys are 457 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: turning into the Raiders when Al Davis got old. So 458 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: Al Davis and Jerry Jones are very similar there Mavericks, contrarian, 459 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: street fighters, visionaries, and then you start getting into your 460 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: seventies and you start believing your press and you're not 461 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: quite cognitively as quick. And I think Jerry's had multiple 462 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: missteps in the last several years. Things he said he's 463 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: had to backtrack on. And I thought at the end 464 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: of Al Davis's reign he really romanticized, he really lived 465 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: in the rear view mirror. And I feel very much 466 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: that way with the way Jerry Jones handled Zeke as 467 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: if it's a running back league, as if you want 468 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: your running back to be the biggest cap hit. And 469 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: I look at Dallas right now and they're I think 470 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: they're dangerously close to becoming the last ten years of 471 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: Al Davis's Raiders. I think what saves them is the 472 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: division so damn awful. But I thought Philadelphia Matt had 473 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: a really really good offseason. Size up the Eagles offseason 474 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys and where they stand a day in 475 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: your opinion, Well, I think you saw colin the Eagles, 476 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, needed a safety slash corner and really they 477 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: need a safety help and they went made a trade. 478 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: And it's I think it irritates Cowboys fans that Howie Roseman, 479 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: who have gotten to know pretty well over the years, 480 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: is now being sort of celebrated. This is the guy 481 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: that's gotten ahead of things and he's got he's doing 482 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: these trades and he's solidified the team. And I don't 483 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: know if this is accurate or even fair, but just 484 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: based on some of the offseason and then even the 485 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: build up to this sea and people are now picking 486 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles over the Cowboys, and Jerry has no one 487 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: else to blame but himself. And you brought up the 488 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: Zeke thing. Zeke jumped in front of Dak and then 489 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: Dak became a man. Most people when they have a 490 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: career altering type injury don't like have a bunch of leverage. 491 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: You would think the Cowboys might be in the best position, 492 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: but because of how they handled it and they kept 493 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: kicking it down the road, they ended up having to 494 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: pay him enormous money. And so they've just mismanaged this 495 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: thing so much to where and what you're saying about Jerry, 496 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: I think there's some truth to it, although he's still 497 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: extremely quick, so cognitively I think he's fine. I think 498 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: sometimes he's just a bad you know, he just does 499 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: a bad job at some of this, and he still 500 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: thinks he can snap into where they were twenty six, 501 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven years ago. And as we get farther and 502 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: are away from that, it just seems so distant what 503 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are good at doing, and boy, you can 504 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: you've seen this. They're still good at landing sometimes like 505 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: unbelievable star players. This is a place for stars, and 506 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: like Micah Parsons, they have some individuals Seedee Lamb that 507 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: kind of blow people away. But over time, think about 508 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: the depth at wide receiver, the depth on the old line, 509 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: and nobody has just tremendous depth across the board. But 510 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys went from three years ago to people making 511 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: the statement, this might be the best line in the 512 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: NFL to just being pretty awful. Like they're not solid 513 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: at left guard, they're not solid at center, They're very 514 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: solid at right guard, they're iffi at right tackle, and 515 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: now they're really iffiat left tackle. Because they wanted to 516 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: start Tyler Smith his first year at left tackle, was 517 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be like the twenty twenty fourth season. That 518 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: would have been perfect. Tyron Smith. Get him through two 519 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: more seasons and welcome this guy in to play left 520 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: tackle in twenty twenty four two twenty two season. He 521 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: is your starting left tackle. So Jerry wants to talk 522 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: him into being great. And so that's where Jerry and 523 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: Al may have simile similarities. And to your point, Jerry 524 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: worshiped Al like not only were they kind of similar 525 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: in some ways in Mavericks, but where do you think Jerry. 526 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that stuff Jerry did he 527 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: got from Al, and Al saw this guy, and Jerry like, 528 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: who that reminds me of myself? And he took him 529 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: under his wing. So I mean your comparison there is 530 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: right on. Okay, Chad Melman's the CCO, the Action Network, 531 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: all of our odds provided by Fandels. Starting today, for 532 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: the next twenty weeks, we bring him on every Friday morning. 533 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: We call it Sharper Square. I am a square. I 534 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: will give him the games I'm considering for my blazing five. 535 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: I usually have about seven. I'm leaning one way, and 536 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: then at the end, I'll say, you give me a 537 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: really sharp pick on your own and maybe I'll steal that. 538 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: It's all about me. Listen, it is Colin Cowherd's Volume 539 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: podcast network. Okay, no mistakes. Look at this right here. 540 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: That is Fancytown. Yeah, okay, let's get to the ones 541 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: I've liked all offseason. I've already laid a little let 542 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: us Vikings. It's now one and a half. I got 543 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: a better line Vikings plus one and a half at 544 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: home where they have always Kirk Cousins has always been 545 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: formidable against the Packers. Say what you want about Captain Kirk. 546 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: I think they're going to win straight out. I think 547 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay by Thanksgiving October. Maybe the rookies then then 548 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: are ready to be big contributors. I don't think it's 549 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: going to be the first week of the season. I'm 550 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: going to take the Vikings straight out, sharp or square. 551 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: That is very sharp, very very sharp. The Packers going 552 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: on the road to play the Vikings. Everyone will always 553 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: make a big deal about how Aaron Rodgers has owned 554 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: his division, how Aaron Rodgers against the spread has owned 555 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: his division. The majority of that is against the Lions 556 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: and the Bears. It's not as much success against the Vikings. 557 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: And I do think we saw some of this last 558 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: year early in the season with the Packers too. You 559 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: are going to have a transition period without Davante Adams, who, 560 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: by the way, was especially effective against the Vikings. So 561 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: now Aaron Rodgers is going in with receivers nobody's heard 562 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: of who he hasn't really played with. Alan Lazard has 563 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: been banged up, and you've got an offense in Minnesota again, 564 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: Captain Kirk who knows. You've got a great running back, 565 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: You've got an all Pro caliber receiver. You've got an 566 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: offense that will probably be more explosive, probably be a 567 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: lot more efficient on first down, and not put Kirk 568 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: Cousins in positions where he has to make bad decisions. 569 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned this line is moved. That is a fact. 570 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: It has moved from about two and a half down 571 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: to right now. It's Minnesota is let's say plus one 572 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: and a half, So sharp, my friend. Okay, this one's 573 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: a little dicier because the Lions old lines a tad 574 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,479 Speaker 1: beat up and it is the strength of their football team. 575 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to take Detroit now down to three and 576 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: a half at home, lively dog against Philadelphia. I think 577 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: Philadelphia by years and is a better team. But again, 578 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: lesser teams don't know they're lesser teams in September, especially 579 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: a Dan Campbell team that's chewing up kneecaps and running 580 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: through firewalls. So I like the Lions here getting more 581 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: than a field goal at home. Sharper square, classic sharp spot. 582 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: This is one that Wise guys pagged as soon as 583 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: the lines came out the Lions. You mentioned the offensive line. 584 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: It is a strength of their team. It is one 585 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: of the better offensive lines in the NFL. They've also 586 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: got really good talent on the edges at running back 587 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: and at receiver. Jared Goff is perfectly serviceable. It's been 588 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: a team that last year, even in spite of having 589 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: a three thirteen in one record, never gave up, especially 590 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: against the spread. They were effective. The Wise guys fell 591 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: in love with them. They were a team that everybody 592 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: is pagged as being one of those teams that will 593 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: not quit. Wise guys are going to be with this 594 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: team all season long. They like the Lions plus four. 595 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: A lot of them are taking a little bit of 596 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: a taste on the money line for the Lions to 597 00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: win outright in his career, the very impulsive Baker Mayfield 598 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: has been able to harness that emotion for singular games. 599 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: The revenge win over Ohio State, the revenge wins over 600 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: Texas Tech where he had huge games, the revenge win 601 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: over Hugh Jackson when he went to the Bengals, the 602 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: win over Pittsburgh. Now, over the course of time, he 603 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: is impulsive and he can't channel that emotion properly. He's 604 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: got too much of an ego. He tends to be again, 605 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: somebody that doesn't take a deep breath. He never falls 606 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: on the sword. He creates controversies instead of suppressing them. 607 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: Is what's the great quarterbacks do. But in these one 608 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: game situations, chip on his shoulder, I'm going to prove 609 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: you wrong. I've seen it at Oklahoma, I saw it 610 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He's been very good. He can harness it 611 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: for a week. Carolina is going to win outright minus 612 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: one and a half. They were three and oz to 613 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: start the year last year with Darnold, and they're a 614 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: better football team. I like Carolina to win this game 615 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: by a touchdown. Sharper Sharp, I'm huge on Carolina this 616 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: year as well. I have them over six and a 617 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: half wins. I'm a big fan of Baker in this 618 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: spot last year. For everything you said is true. He 619 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: gets in his own way. He was also injured last year, 620 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: and I think that had a big impact on his 621 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: ability to perform. I think in one game, first game 622 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: of the year, against a team that doesn't have its 623 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: top quarterback that he is very bitter about. That alone 624 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: makes it the right side. I also think the Panthers, 625 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: like at home, their defense is improved just by virtue 626 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield being on the offense than Sam Darnold 627 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: being on the offense. It gives them more of an 628 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to perform better. Christian McCaffrey healthy, maybe for the 629 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: only time this year because I'll have to play a game, 630 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: So now it's a good time to bet the Panthers. 631 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: So yes one hundred, especially with this line trapping a 632 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: little bit the volume.
