1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: What is going on everybody? How are we doing? It's Tuesday,

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: and I said, you know what, We've been reacting to

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: the games, giving our thoughts and takes on everything that's

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: going on. I looked at my dms at John middlecoff

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: as my Instagram and they were packed. We have a

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: lot of questions. I'm like, it'd be a good time

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: to just do a massive, massive mailbag. Probably cut this

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: into two videos, but gonna try to answer a bunch

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: of your questions. It's how we like to interact with

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: the people here because this season, you know, it's not

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: that long ago. I remember being in Lake Tahoe for

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: a little summer vacation and think, of god, the football

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: season is still pretty far away. Even in training camp

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: it kind of drags. Then all of a sudden you

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: blink and I mean, we're forty eight hours away from

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: the probably being three and oh and here's just weak

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: threes here college football. Some of these teams have already

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: gone to play four games, and it just flies by.

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: So we got to try to enjoy it. Sometimes I'm

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: just onto the next one. We just we got to embrace,

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: enjoy and and just bs about football because that's what

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: we do here. So you guys know, the drill fire

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: in those DM is gonna be a big mail bag.

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: But first, you know, I gotta tell you about my friends,

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: my partners, and the official ticketing app of this podcast,

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: Game Time, best ticketing app in America. You know, I

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: went to Texas, Oklahoma last year. I probably was a

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: year or two early. This would have been the better

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: game to go do. I would love if I had

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: an easier way to make sure I was back in

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: my office bright and early Sunday morning to go to

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: a college game, specifically in the South, maybe a Georgia game,

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: maybe a Tennessee game. I mean that Tennessee Georgia game.

35
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Look fantastic. If you want to go to one of

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: these college games. If you want to go to a

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: NFL game, either home or away concert, get out the

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: break up them not a life. Go out and enjoy yourself.

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: Take your wife, take your girlfriend, take a buddy. Just

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: go out and have a good time. Do it with

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: to the mailbag and we're gonna start with Cooper here.

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: Question slash hot take for the mailbag. Caleb isn't the

50
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: main problem for the Bears. It's the run game. Yes,

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: he has some accuracy issues, but he's vastly improved from

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: last year with getting the ball out of his hands

53
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: on time. However, he's always trying to make the big

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: play because he has no run game. DeAndre DeAndre Swift

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: can't find the fucking gap and stutter steps like a

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: ballerina before making a decision. Look at any quarterback that

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: has success, they have a good run game, Love and Jacobs,

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Panics and Bijon Jayden Daniels. Year one, he had Brian

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: Robinson and Eckler, even McCarthy look good Week one by

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: the second half because of the running backs. My question

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: is why does nobody bring it up how bad the

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: run game is for Chicago and instantly blames Caleb for

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: missing passes. Every quarterback will miss passes, but it seems

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: that his get exaggerated. Do you see the Bears trading

65
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: for a running back this year or are they just

66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: opting for the draft. I would agree that the Week

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: two loss was way less on him than Week one. Right,

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: the week two loss, the defense just clearly ran out

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: of gas. Slash might not be good. I mean they're

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: missing DB's Jalen Johnson's Now it looks like I see

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: report Yesterday's out for the year. Obviously he played in

72
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: that game and then got banged up. You miss him.

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a high level corner when he's healthy,

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be a major blow. Listen, the Bears

75
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: have a lot of issues, and I said this the

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: other day. You know, Caleb is such a lightning rod.

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: Anytime that you're the number one pick, you're in this

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: huge market, you know you have some controversy that follows

79
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: in terms of the way you got there. You're like,

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to go to Chicago, then I want

81
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: a piece of equity. There's a lot of things that

82
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: sometimes the number one picks like that doesn't happen. Right,

83
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: There's just not much to the story. Either good or bad.

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: I do think this situation is going to turn more

85
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: to Ryan Poles, like how is the general manager going

86
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: to survive? You know, they drafted Roma Dunes a ninth overall,

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: and I think looking back, clearly they should have taken

88
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: an offensive lineman. But this guy is obsessed with wide receivers,

89
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: which is kind of ironic because he's a former offensive lineman.

90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to assume he has no clue

91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: what he's doing, which is crazy, Like decent amount of

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: gms feel like overwhelmed, like they have no clue because

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: a lot of gms, and we've talked a lot about

94
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: it on this show, like talk the talk that go.

95
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: You know, I love the trenches. I care about the

96
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. And it's like pick eight, You're like,

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: give me that slot wide receiver who runs fast. You're like,

98
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: that's exactly what we didn't talk about, Like we gotta

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: follow the board. It's like, I'm not in the business

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: of taking a wide receiver really high unless I think

101
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: the guy is gonna be a superstore Like he better

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: be Molik neighbors. I mean, look at the wide receiver

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: draft just in that group. Marvin Harrison Molik neighbors in Roma.

104
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Doonsay like it's Malik's in a different universe than those two.

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not even. It's not even. They have

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: nothing in common Malik. It's clear his physical attributes, his

107
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: his skill, his overall like playing demeanor. I mean that

108
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: dude's a badass. The other guys are replaceable players. And

109
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: you take one four, you take one ninth. You just

110
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: can't do that. Now, Listen, You're not always gonna hit

111
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: on offensive lineman either. But I will never have an

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: issue with someone taking an offensive or defensive lineman high.

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: I won't. So I might not agree with the pick

114
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: with the player. But I said this about genty and

115
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: you know I'm a John Spytech fan, but I was like,

116
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, a running back number six overall,

117
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: aren't you better off? Like? Could we take an offensive

118
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: or defensive lineman here? Is there someone that can impact

119
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage? We tak a running back and

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: you know, through two games he has eighty yards And

121
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: people think I hate the player. I do not. I'm

122
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: an aston gent fan. I just think when you're drafted

123
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: six overall, especially coming from a small school, It's just difficult, man,

124
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: it is. It's pretty rare that guys like you watch

125
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: Bijon Robinson like he has Hall of Fame talent. Right,

126
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley has Hall of Fame talent. Christian McCaffrey has

127
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: hall of fame talent. If I'm gonna take a running

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: back in the top ten, he better be that. If

129
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a wide receiver, like, it doesn't have

130
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: to be that. If I take a lineman that high,

131
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: can the lineman just start for me and be an

132
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: above average player? I feel okay. Ideally i'd want Lane

133
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: Johnson or Tristan Wurst or Pine Sewell, right, But if

134
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: I just get a good starter for a long time,

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about it. We nitpick these skill

136
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: guys because the difference between a high end guy and

137
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: an average guy. It's like Ash could have found that

138
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: guy in the third round. But overall the Caleb thing,

139
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: this is a big week for green not Green Bay.

140
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a question about Green Bay about the

141
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 2: Bears play the Cowboys, who are pretty bad on defense.

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly, they made Russell Wilson look like the

143
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: greatest quarterback we've ever seen, and he still can throw

144
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: a deep ball, give them that. But I just think

145
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: that if the Bears can't win this week, when are

146
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: they winning? And we're gonna get Tom? You know, Tom's

147
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: be interesting some of Tom's comments about Caleb. What's up?

148
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: John Tyler from West Virginia. As a Packer fan, I

149
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: always notice how much we prioritize the offensive line. Other

150
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: than the Eagle the Lions, I haven't heard much about

151
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: other teams doing the same. Am I wrong in thinking

152
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: it's not a big deal around the league? Could the

153
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: Bengals cough? Or do other teams also try and stack

154
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: the offensive line and it doesn't make headlines as often.

155
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, when you take at pick ten or

156
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: pick six or pick twenty the offensive tackle or offensive guard,

157
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: it is not a sexy pick. When you draft. Oh

158
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: my god, they just drafted whatever wide receiver or whatever

159
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: cornerback or a tight end. That is a much sexier

160
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: pick for the fan base cause their highlight package is

161
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: them scoring touchdowns, right, them making plays with a football

162
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: in their hand. It's like, hey, we just got Zack

163
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: Martin in the draft from Notre Dame. Like, how many

164
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: pancake blocks can you play? An offensive lineman draft pick

165
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: on Thursday night or even Friday night is just not

166
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: as sexy as some of these other pisis. So that

167
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: is a huge reason, Like I go out of business

168
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: if I broke down offensive line play. Right, it's not

169
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: a safe but it is. You can't operate without it.

170
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: And having good offensive lines is equal success. Right, Having

171
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: good offensive linemen changes your team. I just think skill guys.

172
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: There's never been more functional skill guys all around the

173
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: league and all over college like you can find. You

174
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: can get guys no problem in the twenties, the thirties,

175
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: the forties, the fifties that become all pros at wide receiver.

176
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean the forty nine Ers drafted Ricky Piersall at

177
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: the end of the first round, and there's a decent

178
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: chance that he's going to be better than Brandon Ayuk

179
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: who just got seventy five million dollars. It's like you

180
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: didn't need to give him that money. What you should

181
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: have done is use those resources that money, like buy

182
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: some offensive linemen. What hell, No one listens to me

183
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: once you tell us about your friends, your partners, and

184
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: the official ticketing app is Kirk Cousins the most so

185
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: after quarterback at the moment, could the Falcons look brilliant

186
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: by being able to parlay him into a third round

187
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: pick and maybe offload, if not all the contract on

188
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: a team like the Vikings or the Commanders. What about

189
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: Cousins in Sinsey. I think he would be an upgrade

190
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: over Browning, and he is a Midwest guy. I would

191
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: think he'd loved the opportunity to throw to Chase into Higgins. Well,

192
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals are cheap, so they would have no interest

193
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: on taking his You know, twenty seven million dollars pro

194
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: rated over the next fifteen weeks is not happening. And

195
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: they believe in Jake brown so they're not doing that move.

196
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: You would have to have a devastating injury to Jaden

197
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: Daniels to get them to contemplate that move. And the

198
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: other team you mentioned was the Vikings. I'll be honest,

199
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: something's a little fishy about the JJ McCarthy injury. Now,

200
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: we just saw it with Purdy where a guy finishes

201
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: a game and then after he's out, So it's happened.

202
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: It's not like it's never happened before either, but clearly

203
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: pretty just for a game winning touchdown like they would

204
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: not want him to not play. McCarthy was a train wreck,

205
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: I mean a complete disaster for seven out of the

206
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: eight quarters. So if you told me it's like, hey,

207
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: he's kind of banged up, but it's like, we need

208
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: to give this guy a breather. See, you just get

209
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz in there because this guy has lost his confidence.

210
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: So conspiracy middle cooff here has just got that situation

211
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: red flagged. I'm not saying he's not injured. I do

212
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: wonder if there's more at play, something to keep an

213
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: eye on, at least Wednesday. When Kevin O'Connell talks, I'll

214
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: just be interested the way he kind of verbalizes his

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: thoughts on the entire situation. But they're not going to

216
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: trade because part of also trading for Kirk Cousins. If

217
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: you're them like McCarthy's not playing the rest of the year,

218
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: Cousins is not really a tradable asset. He's just not

219
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: unless you would need a season ending injury to a

220
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: team that is just desperate to make the playoffs. See,

221
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm getting asked the same question. Is there a chance

222
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals tried to go after Cousins or a guy

223
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: like Dalton or that they are gonna roll with Jake

224
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: Browning for the foreseeable future. He would have to be

225
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: a train wreck for them to pivot. He just won

226
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: them a game, said the game winning touchdown. He made

227
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: a bunch of plays. He's actually five and three in

228
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: his career as a starting quarterback for them. Like they're

229
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: not They're not in the business of these other guys.

230
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Look at what they did today, like they're bottom feeding.

231
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: They're taking guys off practice squads. They're all in on

232
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 2: Jake Browning. They would need a devastating injury to him,

233
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: which you could say with their offensive line is possible.

234
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: Now I could be wrong here, I mean because I'm

235
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: basing this a little bit when he was younger, But

236
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: I do feel like Jake's a better athlete than Joe Burrow.

237
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: So maybe he's got a little more mobility, But as

238
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: long as he's able to play like, I don't see

239
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: them going with another quarterback. They're not the Eagles, you know.

240
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: They don't think in desperation mode. If anything, they're opposite.

241
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: They're like slow, steady, try to save some money. I'd

242
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: be stunned, I really would, But I mean I was stunned.

243
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: I think I put this out on the Everything app

244
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: about halftime, like I'll be stunned if the Atlanta Falcons

245
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: win this game and they won the game twenty two

246
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: to nine or whatever. So it's not like I'm always right.

247
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I would not expect the Bengals

248
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: to trade for Kirk Cousins. It's kind of sad, you know,

249
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: it shows you in fairness. He definitely probably didn't see

250
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 2: the Penix thing coming. But like, once you become mercenary

251
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: guy doing everything for money, and I guess it could

252
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: happen in some of our industries, but clearly pro sports

253
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: toward the end of your career because unlike most of us,

254
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: our careers can go like it's not like, hey, I

255
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: only peaked as an architect for two years, Like you

256
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: can do things for a long period of time, even

257
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: if your industry changes a little bit, like you can

258
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: kind of pivot, But you should have fifty year plus

259
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: career if you want. Professionally, these guys got to strike

260
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: where the iron's hot. But Cousins already did and him

261
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: and his agent, which I respect, I mean, I'm a capitalist.

262
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: They are obsessed with getting every penny and when you

263
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: do that, like sometimes you're just gonna get fucked in life.

264
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: And I have little to no sympathy for seeing him

265
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: just kinda he kind of feels like he's just standing

266
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: there pouting a little bit. I mean, the last year

267
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: of his career or two years of his career just

268
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: kind of come on the bench. Sucks, But this is

269
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: what he wanted. I mean, he's getting paid. He's the

270
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: highest paid backup that didn't start the years and starter

271
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: that got benched in the history of the league by

272
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: a wide margin. I mean, who are the highest pay

273
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: backups currently? Because backups have never made more money than

274
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: they make now. And like, what's minch You make ten

275
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: million dollars for Kansas City? You know Daniel Jones got fourteen,

276
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: Well he immediately started. You just go around the league

277
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: like find me, you know mac Jones. The backups like

278
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: two years, eight million dollars. I mean, Cousins is making

279
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: twenty seven million dollars to be the backup. Now they

280
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: would tell you, well, Pennix is only making six or seven,

281
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: so our total quarterback room is thirty five. Well, imagine

282
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: if you didn't have Cousins, you'd have other room, but

283
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: in fairness, they probably would have traded him. He had

284
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: no trade market. As a commander's fan, how concerned should

285
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: I be about Tom Brady being involved with the Raiders?

286
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: Tom Brady called our game week one and now we

287
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: play the Raiders this week? Do you think this is

288
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: something Dan Quinn Adam Peters would think about when they

289
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: were meeting with Tom in the week one production meetings.

290
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: Thanks I clicked on Bruce Arians, who was with McAfee,

291
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: and he said that he thought those meetings could be

292
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: a little overblown how much information gets shared. He said.

293
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: The thing that would be very, very glaring if he

294
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: had access to and he doesn't, is the Friday practice,

295
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: Saturday walk through, any sort of the last forty eight

296
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: thirty six, twenty four hours, anything on the field with players.

297
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: I do think as Tom Brady, people are gonna want

298
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: to talk to him. Like one advantage Tom and Peyton,

299
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: who does the banning cast really have is offensive coordinators.

300
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: You know, whether if the GM doesn't want to talk

301
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: to him, the assistant GM. These guys are gonna want

302
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: to be friends with those two guys so they can

303
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: gather information Like I have no and I remember if

304
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: you talk to any coach. I remember Coach Reid telling

305
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: me stories about how he used to like Al Davis

306
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: used to call him all the time, like when he

307
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: first got the Philly job or early on in his career.

308
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: Like these guys are constantly on the phone with each other.

309
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: Howie Roseman's on the phone with other teams NonStop talking. Now,

310
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 2: what information you give back and forth, you know, depends

311
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: on the relationship. But like think about like John spy

312
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 2: Tech and Jason light Right, that they work together forever.

313
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: It was his right hand man. They're like best friends.

314
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: You don't think they share information. So it's less about

315
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: quote unquote sharing information and it's more just throwing it

316
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: in your face. Now, dan Quinn has been around long enough,

317
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: but we're human beings. If you're just saying stuff, it's

318
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: one thing. If I'm just talking to Greg Olsen. I'm

319
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: sure Greg Olsen has a couple of people that he

320
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: would consider very close in his life in the NFL,

321
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: whether they're coordinators, whether they're gms. And he came on

322
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: this podcast and he didn't specifically say names, but clearly

323
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: he's got some people since doing this job and probably

324
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: when he was playing as well. Guys that were positioning

325
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: coaches that have now moved on to be coordinators throughout

326
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: the league, that he texts all the time, and they

327
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: what do you think you talk about? Just like what

328
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: the weather is. Of course they're talking different ideas. But

329
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: when gregil Olsen walks into your building, if you're the Eagles,

330
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: Sirianni and Howie, your guard isn't necessarily up. You're not

331
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: worried about him giving all your information to the Dallas

332
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys or the Washington Commanders. Even though he's gonna talk

333
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: to those teams. It's inevitable because he's gonna call their games.

334
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: But there's just like a it's like a scout. When

335
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 2: a scout walked into Nick Saban's practice, Saban wasn't petrified

336
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: of him sharing the information, though he could. He could

337
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: easily walk right into Georgia, Florida, Tennessee if they're playing

338
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 2: him in a week or two and tell him what

339
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: they saw, right, But like that's kind of no, that's

340
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: not really what you do, and not that it's it

341
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: couldn't happen. I just think the optics of Brady sitting

342
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: in that coaching box, even if nothing actually changed, we

343
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: already knew exactly what his role was is something that's

344
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: gonna be hard for teams to shake, and specifically the Chiefs,

345
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: the Broncos and the Almost called him the Clippers, the Chargers.

346
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: I just I that one would be tough for me.

347
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: And it does feel, and I could be wrong, that

348
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: there is more crossover than ever of AFC and NFC

349
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: games on Fox and CBS. So it's like Brady's not

350
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: just gonna have like Bears Cowboys, right, He's going to

351
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: have some AFC games and it's just going to be

352
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: interesting to see how this thing plays out. I do

353
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: think the story is not gonna go away. Once he

354
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: was in the booth, I mean that was that was crazy.

355
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: I mean he was not just there to, you know,

356
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: have a cocktail and eat some chicken fingers, which he

357
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't need anyway, but like a lettuce rap or

358
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: whatever Tom would would actually eat. I give Tom credit

359
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: I as someone that's really trying to work on my

360
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: diet and my caloric intake. He is not doesn't feel

361
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: like he's budged at all from the diet situation from

362
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: what he played to now. I mean that chisel jaw

363
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: line like he is not eating cheeseburgers and onion rings.

364
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes it's like, hey, you can let

365
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: your guard down a little bit. It feels like he's

366
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: as dialed on the diet as ever. But I guess

367
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: I didn't answer a question. I just wonder if teams,

368
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: especially after on Monday night, are going to be really

369
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: really guarded with because it's not just him, if he's

370
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: not allowed in the meeting or whatever his restrictions are,

371
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: whatever you tell his crew. And I'm a huge Kevin

372
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: Burkhart fan. How is Kevin not going to relay stuff

373
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: or Tom asking Kevin to ask them specific stuff? So

374
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: it's kind of complicated, and I understand, like I'm not

375
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: hating him the fact if I was Tom Brady, I'd

376
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: want to own the Raiders too. Mark Davis gave me

377
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: an opportunity to own a team when I'm not nearly

378
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: as rich as these guys. To get into the country club, right,

379
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: there are certain country clubs, guess what, I would love

380
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: to freaking join, and I probably can't afford slash get

381
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: invited to. But if I did get invited and they'd

382
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: also kind of cut me a deal, I would join

383
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: in a heartbeat, right, and so he got involved in

384
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: a country club that most rich people would love to

385
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: get in on, especially at the price point in which

386
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: he got in, which became controversial. The other thing that

387
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: every single person, that former player that wants to get

388
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: into talking about football, whether it's on podcasts, whether it's

389
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: on TV or calling games. There is not a player

390
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: alive that would have turned down the three hundred and

391
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: seventy five million dollars. Even if you like, I don't

392
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 2: want to travel on them three or seventy five million dollars,

393
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: I'm doing it. So I would have taken, if I

394
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: was him, both those two opportunities. But it's it's it's

395
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: kind of made everything a little more complicated. You know.

396
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: We are extremely excited to announce our new presenting sponsor,

419
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: Could this be the simple rule that helps teams counter

420
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: the toush push. This is the new rule. All offensive

421
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: players and defensive ones two to make it even are

422
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: only allowed to place one hand on the ground instead

423
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: of two, would this be enough to remove the leverage

424
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: advantage the offense has. Uh I think it's less about

425
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: that and more about uhould not be able to push

426
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: a guy from behind, which you are now, which is

427
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: a huge advantage for a player as strong as Jalen.

428
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: And I just think it's impossible whether you put one

429
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: hand or two on the ground, which I do think

430
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: would be unfair for defense. Why that's not my problem.

431
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: If I'm a defensive player, if I want to put

432
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: two hands on the ground, especially in goal line defense,

433
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: it's no one can see like we're just taking a

434
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: We take some educated guesses in football, and we should.

435
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: It's sports like I do appreciate every once in a

436
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: while a little bit of unknown. Did he catch her,

437
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: didn't he? I don't know. It's it's hard to tell, right,

438
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: but I think on this play you have no clue

439
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: when he stopped where the ball is? Did someone fumble?

440
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: So I I'm trying not to be a prisoner of

441
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: the moment because there is a lot of momentum and

442
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: a lot of people are talking about this, but it

443
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: does feel like the beginning of the end for this thing.

444
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: Like truly, that was a moment that I think this

445
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: play gets acts at the end of the year. I

446
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: also think it helps. It's just a boring play to watch,

447
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: even if technically right now it's fair. I mean it's

448
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: fair game. I'm a big Chiefs fan, obviously, I'm not

449
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: quote unquote out on the season. Yet with two close

450
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: losses against two good teams while playing subpar team football,

451
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: and given the current wide receiver room without right and

452
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: worthy that said, do we need to start having a

453
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: conversation about the offense and by proxy Andy. Ever since

454
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: Naggie took over his oc the offense has been largely

455
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: awful compared to the rest of the league, let alone

456
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: the first few years of Pat. Obviously, nobody cares and

457
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: notices when you're winning Super Bowls twenty two to twenty three.

458
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: Even though the teams were stellar on defense and did

459
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: just enough on offense, there is absolutely no juice in

460
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: the running back room, and a few wide receiver absences

461
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely derail any explosiveness. It's hard to not feel

462
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: frustrated about Veitch seemingly quote giving up on finding a

463
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: running back. Ever since the Edwards Hilaire pick busted. Is

464
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: there anything they can do personnel wise now to fill

465
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: the holes that seem so obvious? How do you think

466
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: they can make a trade? You know, could they add

467
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: like an Alvin Kamara or something this offseason who's under

468
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: contract and could be on their team. I also think

469
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: they have tried. You know, when you are winning super

470
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: Bowls and going to the Super Bowl, your picks every

471
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: round suck. They literally, if you win, it can't be

472
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: any worse. They're thirty two every round. And if you

473
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: don't win it, but you get there, they're thirty one.

474
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: And they have used They drafted Clyde, who fits Andy's mold,

475
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: Like Andy's never gonna be Kyle Shanahan and try to

476
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: run it thirty times a game, but he will get

477
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: the ball in the hand of the running back. And

478
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: I got Clyde like he did would be a good

479
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: pass catching running back. It obviously didn't work well. They

480
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: need more explosion and playmaking at wide receivers. So what

481
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: do they do. They drafted Rice and then they drafted

482
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: Worthy like they have invested picks into those spots. And

483
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: when you're paying two guys afraid of money, Chris Jones

484
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: and Mahomes. They pay their center a lot of money,

485
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: They pay their guard a lot of money, like the

486
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: Obviously Travis doesn't make nothing like they have some core

487
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: guys making a lot of cash. You have a lot

488
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: of pressure on the draft and I think, you know,

489
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: the jury's out unworthy. But he's injured and Rice looked

490
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: like he was going to be a stud fucking ran

491
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: his Lamborghini into the back of you know, a car.

492
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 2: I saw the picture almost couldn't believe it. Of like

493
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: some of the players on the Chief, especially Travis Kelce

494
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: saying free four, It's like, guys, didn't he run into

495
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 2: a car with little kids and took off like I

496
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: was born at night but not last night? Like we

497
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 2: understand why he did that, right, drunk high whatever in

498
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: a random Lamborghini? What are we talking about. Some people

499
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: over the years have had questionable suspensions. This is not

500
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 2: one of those. And if there would have been any

501
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: sort of law enforcement on the scene, this suspension could

502
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: have been way longer. So by fleeing the scene, it's

503
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 2: safe to say the guy avoided a disaster. But let's

504
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: you know, be lucky. No one was No kid died

505
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: or something. Like, what are we free for? That one

506
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: was like, come on, let's use some common sense here, guys.

507
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: But I would say, by proxy Andy Reid, the best

508
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: thing that's ever happened to your organization was Andy Reid,

509
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: because without Andy Reid there's no Patrick Mahomes, and without

510
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: Veets there's probably no Patrick Mahomes. So I just think, listen,

511
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: not everything's perfect all the time. He gets credit for

512
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: bringing spacks and having an awesome defense. Guys are gonna

513
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: be okay. Guys have had a pretty good life. You know,

514
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: Saban didn't win the national championship every year. You could argue,

515
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: best case scenario, would you rather be ten and seven

516
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: and just get bounced in the first round or be

517
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: like seven to ten it have been and restock a

518
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: little bit in the draft. Chargers look really good through

519
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: two weeks, and as a Raider fan, I give them

520
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: all the credit. They look like a legit contender, although

521
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: I know it's early. My problem is they only scored

522
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: a field goal on the opening drive of the second half,

523
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: and they were shut out and also had two turnovers

524
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: within the last six or seven minutes. If Gino didn't

525
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: play like a seventh grader and played, I don't know,

526
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: half as good as he did last week. I can

527
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: see the Raiders pulling out a win. What was the

528
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: Chargers problem or was it a mix of the Raiders

529
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: d is better than we anticipated. Well, they're pass rush.

530
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: I mean Max is a problem the fumble Max cause,

531
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: like Max is one of the best players in the NFL.

532
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: Max is a complete badass. So anytime you got that

533
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: guy on your team who is going to play till

534
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: the game is hit zero zero and he's told to

535
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 2: go to the locker room it's over, he can make

536
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: something happen. Listen, the Chargers don't like they're a good

537
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: team and their physical nature, but they are going to

538
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: win a lot of games ugly. They are gonna play

539
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 2: like the Chiefs have the last several years and are

540
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: playing right now, except they're winning him They're not gonna

541
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: win a lot of games forty to ten. I think

542
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: the concerning part for Gino, and I mentioned this last night,

543
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: he doesn't play great against the better competition. But like

544
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: that's why is Gino Smith. This isn't Joe Burrow, this

545
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: isn't Lamar Jackson, you know, I mean, this is a

546
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: guy who's a placeholder and can win you some games

547
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: and just kind of keep you afloat as you move

548
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: in the right direction. But the Chargers are way ahead

549
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: of you guys in terms of they have way more

550
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: talent on their roster, and Jim has a year under

551
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: his belt coaching the squad. So I think the as

552
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: of recording this now, I haven't seen any breaking news

553
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: on Khalil Mack. If Khalil's out for the year, that's

554
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: a huge blow. That's not replaceable. If he's gonna miss

555
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: some time and come back, then they'll be able. They'll

556
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: be okay. The Saints ruin my boys. Jamal Williams career.

557
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: Before going to the Saints, Williams broke Barry Sanders record

558
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: for TDS with the Lions. I might sound biased, dude,

559
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: that's my best friend, but I don't see a lot

560
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: of running back to better than him in the league

561
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: right now. Would like to hear your thoughts trying to

562
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: think of the best number two running backs. It's probably

563
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: some Najie Harrison number two running back. Technically he's pretty good. Yeah,

564
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: Jamal Williams was a good number two running back. He's

565
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: kind of banged up last year. Yeah, Jamal Williams A

566
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: good player. Always liked a very physical back. I had

567
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: good years in Detroit. They kind of you replaced with Gibbs,

568
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: and once they got Gibbs and Montgomery, they didn't really

569
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: need him anymore. He's had a long career, He's been

570
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: a league since seventeen. He's gonna play ten year NFL

571
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: career playing running back. Good player. You addressed the first

572
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: half of this one already, so all shorten the question.

573
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: My personal biggest gripe on the rules is what has

574
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: become of the tackle position. There are certain tackles that

575
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: look like they're lined up in the backfield in false

576
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: start on every snap. I have heard a BS explanation

577
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: that this is actually legal, but it seems like a

578
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: big stretch when they are right next to a receiver

579
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: who is quote off and moved before the ball is snapped.

580
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. This seems very silly. I tend to agree.

581
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: I wonder if we did like a research project talking

582
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: to different O line coaches. I do wonder if they

583
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: are a faster defensive linemen just throughout the entire league. Right,

584
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 2: there's always been a Reggie Wide, a Lawrence Taylor, you know,

585
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: Terrell Suggs, Dwight Freeny, like there have been sweet pass

586
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: rushers throughout the league every Jared Allen. It feels like

587
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: most teams look at last night, like all four teams.

588
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: The Texans have multiple the the Bucks had one, The

589
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: Raiders have an All Pro the before Mac got hurt,

590
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: they got a Pro bowler, potential Hall of Famer. So

591
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: it's like every team has one, and I think the

592
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: right tackle. I could be wrong, but it does feel

593
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: like it's more often the right tackle who's typically not

594
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: as athletic or as explosive. Though you would say that

595
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: Juwan Taylor in theory is a good athlete, and so

596
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: is Lane Johnson. So I don't know. Maybe they're just

597
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: trying to time guys that they know are just gonna

598
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: do speed rushes. I don't have a great explanation for it,

599
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: but I'm with you throughout the history of football, and

600
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: maybe because we pass way more so they're less worried

601
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: about like, yeah, we're gonna pass, everyone knows and who

602
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: even cares. So I'm just gonna get, you know, back

603
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: pedal as fast as I can as an offensive lineman.

604
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 2: But I don't know, doesn't seem like it's slowing down

605
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: doesn't bother me as much, even though I'm with you.

606
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: It is stupid and there should be penalties for it,

607
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: but people are it's legal. How long does Daniel Jones

608
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: have to play like this before he gets Brian dayball fired.

609
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: It's a great question, I I thought a couple of

610
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: weeks ago, I think this question was brought up. Maybe

611
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: it was after week one. I thought, like, I don't

612
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: know if there's much core. I know he used to

613
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: play in the Giants, but he had caught in the

614
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: middle of the season. He's been on another team since,

615
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: and then he went to another team, right he got

616
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: picked up by Minnesota. Now he's on the Colts. But

617
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: if he has a season where it's like he's not

618
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: gonna be a pro bowler because there are other guys

619
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: like Herbert Lamar and Josh Like I'd put my money

620
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: on those three guys being the AFC Pro bowlers. But like,

621
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: if he has a pro ball level season and the

622
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: Giants win five games, it won't help. Like no one

623
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: was surprised and or he shouldn't have been. When Saquon

624
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: who was healthy, went to the team with the best

625
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: offensive line and a run first mentality had an incredible year, right.

626
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: No one disputed when they let Saquon go. He'd been

627
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: banged up at times, but no one argued like his talent,

628
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: his speed, his vision, his ability to run between the

629
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: tackles and just bust long runs. Obviously it went better

630
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: than anyone could have thought. But those people would have

631
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: been like Dann Jones singing and being a good This

632
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: isn't gonna work. What if he throws thirty eight touchdowns

633
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: and they win twelve games and they win the division.

634
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: They have a lot of good players. I heard Albert

635
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: Breer say this. You got to give him some credit

636
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: because he's making some of their random guys that you know,

637
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: I don't think are viewed as higher end skill guys

638
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: look really good. We think Pittman's good, but the other

639
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: wide receivers, every time you look up, they're making place.

640
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor looks invigorated. Pretty wild. How Baker Mayfield once

641
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: was playing defensive lineman for the Panthers during practice, a

642
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 2: backup for the Rams, and now he's one of the

643
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 2: best in the league. What a story, dude, is legit.

644
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: I think it's a great example, and I'm a huge

645
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: believer as the cream always rises. But all of our

646
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: paths are not the same, are our roads to where

647
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: we're trying to get some people. We have these people

648
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: in our life that have immediate early success, do very

649
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: well financially. At a young age, maybe you personally meet someone,

650
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 2: fall in love, have babies like ay, they just got

651
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 2: the world by the balls, and other people kind of

652
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: bounce around and then you look twenty years later, it's like,

653
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: got that guy really figured it out. It took him

654
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: a little while, but it all happened. And let's face it,

655
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff in our lives are out of

656
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: our control. Right. We control some of it, but there

657
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: is stuff that is one hundred percent out of our control.

658
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: And Baker was drafted by the Cleveland Browns. Now he

659
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: didn't help his situation there. But think of like Hugh Jackson,

660
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: Freddie Kitchens, John Dorsey, like they had a pretty crazy situation.

661
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham junior. Now clearly humility, you know, came with failure,

662
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 2: which is a something that's very important. I think when

663
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: you're young and you're really cocky and arrogant, life will

664
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: humble you, football will humble you, just business will humble you.

665
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 2: And he got humbled hard, and I do think he

666
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: was able to reset. No one ever questioned his arm, right,

667
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 2: He's always had a big arm. One thing that's clear.

668
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: He got married, he had a kid, and he looks

669
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: dramatically skinnier, slimmer. He's much more explosive as a mover.

670
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: Like he's no one's going to compare him to like Kyler,

671
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: but his legs are a threat. I mean literally just

672
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: you could argue the game was one on that fourth

673
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: and ten where he juked the guy and ran for

674
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 2: fifteen plus yards, kept the game alive, continue to write

675
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: down the field for the game when he touchdown a

676
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: defense that's probably one of the faster in the league.

677
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: So I've loved Baker since he was at Oklahoma. He's

678
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: one of my favorite college players of last couple decades.

679
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would have saw this coming

680
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. And listen, Jason Light probably

681
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: be the first to tell you when we gave him

682
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: four million dollars, we were hoping I like him coming out,

683
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: but a couple years later, I never believe that we'd

684
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: have like one of the MVP candidates. Try to give

685
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: that out twenty five to one. It's cool to watch.

686
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: It's fun to watch guys we mature late. Most of

687
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 2: us are not Andrew Luck at twenty two years old.

688
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: Most of us are slappies. Most of us are idiots.

689
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: So I just think that he follows the path of

690
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: a lot of young men. That it takes a couple

691
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: of years, it takes some bumps in the road to

692
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: kind of mature. And if you do have the talent,

693
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: once you figure it out, watch out. And he figured

694
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: it out in the right place, and it's it's fun

695
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: to watch. I enjoy watching Tampa Bay. A lot of

696
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: questions on do you think the Chiefs offen sustainable with

697
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: Mahomes having to be superman every game, Worthy and Rice

698
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: will be rusty when they come back, and with time

699
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 2: it'll take them to get up to speed. Shouldn't Veach

700
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: look to get Mahomes instant help at running back? Kamara

701
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: might be available for late pick. Well, if you get

702
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 2: him for late pick, it's I do think the Chiefs

703
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: have to be pretty careful if this is not gonna

704
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: be their year to value the draft picks, because they're

705
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: gonna need to restock the cupboard with some talent like

706
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna need a tight end. This Travis is not

707
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: gonna be on the team next year. I doubt he's

708
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: gonna keep playing, But like they're gonna have to move on.

709
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 2: This is honestly kind of a sentimental year for him,

710
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: right and they took care of him. He kind of

711
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: got the NBA treatment and he deserved it. They had

712
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: won a bunch of Super Bowls. He's one of the

713
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: most important people in the history of the franchise. But like,

714
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: this thing's coming to an end and they're gonna have

715
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: to traj transition for Patty that it's worthy or she Rice.

716
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean, those guys are gonna have to prove they're dependable.

717
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna need a running back. It looks like they

718
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: found their left tackle. One thing that's kind of glaring

719
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: right now is is McDuffie looks like he's kind of

720
00:39:52,200 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: come back to earth a little bit. What's the deal

721
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: with genty thirty carries for eighty yards. Not only that,

722
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: but he has been awful in pass pro and a

723
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: total non factor as a receiving bag. Last night, the

724
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 2: Raiders handed to Zamir White on third and one and

725
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 2: got stuffed. Why the hell is Genty not getting that carry.

726
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: Zamir is simply terrible and still getting a fair amount

727
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: of run. That feels concerning. I know it's way too

728
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: early to panic, and he has looked explosive on a

729
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: few carries, but hard not to be extremely disappointed with

730
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: what we have seen so far. What's your take. I

731
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: don't think their offensive line is great, so they don't know.

732
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 2: This guy's not Barry Sanders, so he can't just make

733
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: something out of nothing. In part of his game early on,

734
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 2: it's like he's not mister Djukia. He kind of wants

735
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 2: to run you over. Well, if you're Adrian Peterson in

736
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: six foot two and two hundred and eighteen pounds and

737
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: run a four to three, okay, I'll truck your ass.

738
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: But is Aston Genty gonna make a career in the

739
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: NFL running guys over? To me? His game has to

740
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: be like I don't know, Frank Gore, different body type

741
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: like Jonathan Taylor, like shifty, make guys miss, get on

742
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,479
Speaker 2: guy's edges, and it feels like he's trying to go

743
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: forward as a powerback, like he's Cam Skataboo, which he

744
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: did a lot in college. Broke a bunch of tackles,

745
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: but it's a lot different breaking Washington State and Oregon

746
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: State and New Mexico's tackles than it is Jesse Mentor

747
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: and the Chargers defense. Right in the Denver Bronco defense

748
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: and the Kansay Chiefs defense, it's gonna be much more difficult.

749
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 2: So I'm with you, you can't panic yet. He does

750
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: have like some natural instincts as a runner, but clearly

751
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 2: it's just off to a little bit of a rocky start.

752
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: And I do think in general in the draft one

753
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 2: reason I think in the NFL, you see a lot

754
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: of guys that are like third, fourth, fifth rounders become

755
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: Pro bowlers because they early on in their career get

756
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: to fly under the radar a little bit. Anything they

757
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: do positively gets propped up. It's like, holy shit, look

758
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: at this third rounder making plays. Did you see that

759
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 2: that pass rush by the dude we drafted in the fourth.

760
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: But when you're the seventh overall pick, it's like, God,

761
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 2: this guy can't get off a block. Why is this

762
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: guy so slow? Look at Quintin Johnson, He's like three

763
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: games into his careers. I can't catch a cold. Sucks.

764
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: What an awful pick. But the dude drafted in like

765
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: the sixth rounds, Like, God, did you see that route

766
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: he just ran? He just he just got open on

767
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 2: uh On Sas Gardner. It's like, are we sure we

768
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: don't have the next steal of the draft? That conversation

769
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: is real because it's not just us on podcasts or fans.

770
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: It's like the media people asking these guys listen and

771
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 2: watch and read stuff. So that pressure when you're the

772
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 2: sixth overall pick is immense, Like it is intense. It's like, hey,

773
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: are you gonna be like the other top ten picks

774
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: in the last decade? The guys I just listen, Saquon

775
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: Bijon McCaffrey. These are the type guys we're talking about,

776
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 2: Like are you going to be that good? It's like, well,

777
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: I'm maybe not, which is a problem because if you're

778
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 2: just a solid running back, I can find solid running

779
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: backs all over the draft, and I think that pressure.

780
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 2: This guy's not coming from Alabama. This guy's not coming

781
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: from Oregon or Penn State, where it was like national

782
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: championship busy play at Bois State where in a lot

783
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: of games. I'm sure a lot of people listening to this,

784
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: like you watch some highlights, but you won't watching Boys

785
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: State play games. You play at Georgia and you're a

786
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: multi year starter, like your team thought you were going

787
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: to win every game. Now, whether a guy lives up

788
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: to it once they get to the league. You know,

789
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: naj Harris, should he have been a first round picker

790
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: or not? I think it's fair to say probably should

791
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 2: gone the second day of the draft. But when Naji

792
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: Harris got to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the lights came

793
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: on Week one or at training camp, like the dude

794
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: had just played for Nick Saban for four years. He

795
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: had walked out as the Alabama starting running back with

796
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: a bunch of other pros expected to win every game.

797
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: So the pressure he was used to it. Not saying

798
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 2: there's not pressure at Boise State, but it just ain't

799
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: the same. My question would be, what do you see

800
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 2: the Eagles potentially adding to this roster throughout the season.

801
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 2: Zadarius Smith was interesting, but in my opinion, they need

802
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: to find another corner. Would love to hear your thoughts

803
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: on what how he might have cooking. I think the

804
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: reason they signed him is because obviously they have you know,

805
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: they had pass rushers. Huff didn't do anything for him,

806
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: but he's just gone. Sweat who's been a key guy

807
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 2: for them is on the Cardinals. They lost edge guys

808
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 2: and they just were hoping that some of these guys

809
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: they've drafted over the last couple of years emerge. And

810
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 2: obviously Jalen and Jordan Davis dominate, but you can find

811
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: the older like Zadarias Smith exists every single year finding

812
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 2: a corner. You could find the equivalent of Zadarias Smith

813
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 2: at corner. But most of the time that guy's not good.

814
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: And every once in a while a team that's in

815
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 2: free fall, can you trade for one of their corners.

816
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: Here's what I know about the Eagles. They are in

817
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 2: championship or bus mode like their only goal this year

818
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: is to win the division, have the number one seed,

819
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: and win the NFC and being the Super Bowl like.

820
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't think they have any other like, there are

821
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 2: no other agendas when it comes to this team. So

822
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 2: to me, Howie, who is by far the most aggressive league,

823
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 2: will do anything humanly possible for anyone available and if

824
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: their number one need, like offensively, they don't have any needs.

825
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: I know their passing game hasn't worked through two games.

826
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 2: But they have two sweet wide receivers, they have a

827
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: good tight end. Sakwan can't really catch, but they have

828
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: the weapons in terms of the pass game right defensively

829
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 2: pass rushers. There's a reason that they they offered the

830
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: Cowboys two ones and a third round pick and probably

831
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: Mike one hundred and ninety million dollars because they know

832
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: how important that position is. Right. You know, if they

833
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: presents itself a superstar corner, but I don't know if

834
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: that guy really exists now, would how he have no

835
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: problem trading for a good corner like a fourth round pick? Yeah?

836
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they are gonna be in the

837
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: mix for any good player that would start for them,

838
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 2: And honestly, if the guy would start for them, I'd

839
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: be stunned if the Eagles don't trade for him. All

840
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 2: I've heard recently is how foolish the Browns were for

841
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: letting Baker Mayfield go. Yet just the other day, after

842
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 2: only two games in the second season, the media is

843
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: really crucifying. Caleb Williams. It may be the right play,

844
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 2: as you and Colin both claimed, along with many others

845
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: as well. What's the right approach? How much time should

846
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: a young quarterback get to prove himself. If Ben Johnson

847
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 2: can't turn him around, is there any hope? Ryan Poles

848
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: might be one of the worst gms in NFL history.

849
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: Four years in he's that drafted, a Pro Bowl, a

850
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: dismal fifteen and thirty eight record, and it's tough to

851
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: find a GM this ineffective who's been given so much

852
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: time plus an extension. It feels like the bears efforts

853
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: are useless at this point, four years into a rebuild.

854
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: For another rebuild, I think it's very, very difficult if

855
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: the Bears are going to be bad, right, best case

856
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: scenario for Caleb is obviously got to be better on defense,

857
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 2: but they just find a way to win some games

858
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: because if you look up in the team's four and four,

859
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: even if they're three and four, it's like, okay, right,

860
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 2: it's not as negative. But if you look up and

861
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 2: they're two and seven, it is really really difficult for

862
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 2: things to not point at the key figures. You go, okay,

863
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: fire Ryan Poles, You're not gonna fire Ben Johnson. It's like,

864
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 2: what's up with the quarterback? Fire the defensive coordinator. We're

865
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: not breaking down their wide receiver rotations when you're really bad.

866
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: So it's impossible to know what should be done until

867
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: we see them play a couple more games, because if

868
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 2: they start losing, every single person is going to be

869
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: available on this team. A lot of guys like is

870
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: DJ More gonna be on this team in a couple months.

871
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: I would not feel confident about that. If they lose

872
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: this week to the Cowboys, it's just gonna be like

873
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: if Caleb starts playing well and they keep losing, then

874
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: that's another conversation. But I have a hard time, like

875
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: if they lose to the Cowboys, like, how would he

876
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 2: play well and they lose? The Cowboys defense is atrocious,

877
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: so you would think that they played well, they should

878
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 2: be able to score thirty ish points and win the game,

879
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: especially at home. I think it's very difficult. You have

880
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 2: to be prepared when you break up with a girl

881
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 2: or she breaks up with you that in a year,

882
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: in two years and five years, your life or her life,

883
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: someone's gonna win that transaction. Right. If you're dating someone

884
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: beautiful and you're like, you know what, she's gorgeous by

885
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: all accounts, this should be unreal. I just don't really

886
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 2: like her. I don't want to date her anymore. You

887
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: have to be prepared if she's a babe for someone

888
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 2: that has more money than you and a cooler life

889
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 2: than you than in like a year or two, she's

890
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 2: posted on Instagram, you know, at the Four Seasons in Hawaii,

891
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 2: flying there in a private jet, like living life, and

892
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden she's pregnant and it's like, God,

893
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm single, my life's not and then all of a

894
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 2: sudden you get depressed. You can't live like that. So

895
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: the Browns, they made their decision. It was not working

896
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: with Baker. So just because someone else goes on to

897
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 2: find a better situation does not mean that it would

898
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 2: have worked there with you. And I do think the

899
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: negative cloud and the dark cloud of the Bears in

900
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: this Caleb situation, if it were to get a lot worse,

901
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 2: if he went on somewhere else and had some success,

902
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that he would have had success in Chicago.

903
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: So I think I'm sure, like you hired the offensive

904
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 2: coach who just actually gave him some credit. He's like,

905
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,479
Speaker 2: I actually thought he'd played Okay. I saw Ted Nwinn,

906
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: who writes for The Athletic, who's a big film guy,

907
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: say that he only found like four or five times

908
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: where Caleb really played off script. The problem was one

909
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 2: of those was an interception that led to seven points

910
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 2: and kind of the floodgates opened after that. But Colin said,

911
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 2: one more game. I disagree with that, Like he's getting

912
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 2: months this month, next month. But it is like this

913
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: is a very urgent sport, and like these teams and

914
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 2: these coaches, like it's hard for them to think about

915
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight when you're living in the moment and

916
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 2: it's not going well. The other thing is, these are

917
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: human beings, right, So if I don't get along, and

918
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, I have no knowledge, never met Ben Johnson,

919
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 2: But like, however their relationship is, he knows what a

920
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 2: good quarterback, offensive coordinator relationship is, right, play caller relationship is.

921
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: He just had one with Goff. Now, every person's different,

922
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: so you got to you're not gonna interact with me

923
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,959
Speaker 2: the same as you'd interact with someone else as your dad,

924
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 2: as your brother, or as your cousin, as your other buddy.

925
00:51:54,680 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: Like we're all different, different personalities, different wiring way we

926
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 2: communicate changes. But if you don't see eyed eye with

927
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 2: the person, schematically, skill set wise, just communication wise, it's

928
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 2: hard to work, so it's just to me something to

929
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: keep an eye. I don't have the answer. I wouldn't

930
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: just say that it's over, but it's definitely something worth monitoring.

931
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 2: It's got off to a weird start. The NFL said

932
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: they were looking for data to remove the tushbush, but

933
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 2: didn't have any data to back it up. So I

934
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: think the out will be they can't officiate the play.

935
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: There is just one big pile and they have no

936
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 2: idea where the ball is. Also side note, Jordan Love

937
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: is the best quarterback in the NFC. Go pack go.

938
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: I would say that Jordan Loves having a really good season.

939
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 2: Best quarterback in the NFC through a couple games. I mean,

940
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: it's definitely not could be Russell Wilson after that performance.

941
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 2: Dak's played pretty well. It's not Jalen Hurst, Perdy's hurt Kyler, no,

942
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: sam Donold's little Rocky. NFC's a little more wide open.

943
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 2: Goff kind of got a swag back at home. Speaking

944
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: of the Alliance mailbag, the Jameson Williams experience as a

945
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: Lions fan has been quite the ride. The night before

946
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: the season opener for Detroit, he received an extension. To me,

947
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: he earned it. Not only did he mature as a person,

948
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: but he's become more of a complete wide receiver who

949
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 2: has the ability to score anytime he touches the football.

950
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 2: I believe Brad Holmes made the right decision to extend

951
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 2: him early rather than wait. His number would be much

952
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 2: higher if he matched his numbers from last year. Do

953
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 2: you think Brad Holmes made a smart decision in locking

954
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 2: him up? Clearly? I saw an interview with Dan Campbell

955
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: this offseason, and I didn't put that much into it,

956
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 2: but where he was speaking about how much Jamison Williams

957
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: has really grown on him. I think Randallll early on

958
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: in his career was probably the right type coach. And

959
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 2: I bet if we went around the league, a lot

960
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 2: of former wide receivers are wide receiver coaches that can

961
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: be a pretty probably electric room of personalities all over

962
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 2: the map. But you know, last year he had fifty

963
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 2: eight catches and seven touchdowns. They gave him a picked

964
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 2: up his fIF year option, gave him a three year

965
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 2: contract extension. I think that they've done a really good

966
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 2: job when they were kind of bad and they were

967
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 2: building this thing of just nailing some picks. And the

968
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: one thing Jamison does is having Saint Brown. It's basically

969
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: like a Jekyll and Hyde. It's like a Yin and

970
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 2: a yang. Right. You have this guy that runs all

971
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 2: these quick routes over the middle of the field, quick

972
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: out routes, breaking tackles, like does the dirty work. And

973
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 2: then this other guy that's like it's like having a

974
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: truck in a Ferrari. Right. If you want to drive

975
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 2: on the ranch, you're not gonna take the Porsche of

976
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: the Ferrari. Right. And if you want to drive downtown

977
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 2: or to a nice dinner, you're gonna go to the steakhouse,

978
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 2: take your wife or your girlfriend. You know, you probably

979
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: take the sports car. And you know, if you can

980
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 2: afford it, you get both of them. Right. So it's

981
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. They kind of balance

982
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: each other out for their offense. Uh golf has a

983
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: good connection with them. Hit them on the play and

984
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: I think anytime that you can get that guy on

985
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 2: your roster that's not just a speed guy, but like

986
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 2: a good player that can keep the defense honest. And

987
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 2: then they have they don't just have Sat Brown. I

988
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 2: mean they have a Laporta too, who's excellent. I mean

989
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: the Tesla guy. The offensive line is still a question mark.

990
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 2: Will say they come together as they played better teams.

991
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 2: I mean this week they play the Ravens. But skill

992
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 2: wise they they have elite talent, So yeah, I'd give them.

993
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of very Philadelphia Eagles.

994
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: Ish for the mail bag. Not an Eagles fan, so

995
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not biased.

996
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 2: But as a competitor, a youth coach, and purely a

997
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: fan of the game, I can't get behind banning any

998
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 2: play in competition sport. In a competition sport, I watch

999
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 2: countless teams try to do some form in college or

1000
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 2: the NFL, and nobody can execute the same play. Yes,

1001
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 2: it has to do with the players, but I promise

1002
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: you the Eagles just do it better than everyone else,

1003
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 2: from the coaching to the execution on the field, the technique.

1004
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 2: In all the hours spend spent scheming, I notice differences

1005
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 2: in the way each team runs this play versus how

1006
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles run it, which is why they fail. I

1007
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 2: would bet money the Eagles can run this play better

1008
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 2: with a backup quarterback than any of the other thirty

1009
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 2: one teams with their starting quarterback. Yes, Jalen hurts a

1010
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 2: special but it's scheming, technique, execution, and hours of game planning.

1011
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 2: I hope they win the Super Bowl and with this

1012
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 2: play just to piss everyone off. Lol. I think at

1013
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 2: this point in time that they don't You don't practice

1014
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 2: this play. There's no way at this point they practice

1015
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 2: this play at all live against their own team. Where

1016
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 2: I would tend to agree with you on the backup

1017
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: quarterback is their offensive line, their leverage, how low they get,

1018
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: they feel more consistently like a defensive line in a

1019
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 2: goal line situation. Now, you could argue they're cheating because

1020
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: they're jumping before the balls even snapped, but then most

1021
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 2: teams now the backup quarterback thing. I do think the

1022
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: power of Jalen. I mean, some of these are getting

1023
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: closer because these teams are selling out. I think factor

1024
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: in if you put Tanner McKee. There was the play

1025
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: one of the touch pushes, felt like they ran it

1026
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: ten times against the Chiefs. Chris Jones leaped over him

1027
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 2: and grabbed him, but he's in the air and Jalen

1028
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 2: is so powerful kind of took him for a yard ride,

1029
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 2: which I forget it was a touchdown or a first

1030
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 2: down to me, if that's Tanner McKee, Chris might be

1031
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 2: powerful enough for He's not taking Chris Jones for a ride.

1032
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: So I do believe that the power of Jalen in

1033
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 2: his legs factor into the just to the execution of

1034
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 2: the play. But at this point in time, like are

1035
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: they game planning anything? They deserve credit for doing that

1036
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 2: whenever they originally created it. But like all the guys

1037
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 2: like Landon, Dickerson, Jordan Mylota, Lane Johnson, these guys Jurgensen

1038
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 2: got her Saquon, like, these guys have been running play

1039
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: long enough. They there's no they just know what to do. Okay,

1040
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: A couple more questions. Another great show. I like Positive reinforcement.

1041
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: Great segment on Baker today, who I wasn't a fan

1042
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 2: of originally but have come to respect and cheer four,

1043
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 2: especially that the episode he went undercover with the fans.

1044
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 2: They got me thinking this weekend. Baker and Darnold, both

1045
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 2: on the fourth team, are better than any quarterback on

1046
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: the three teams that let them walk. My question for

1047
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 2: the mailbag is we put down bus quarterback a lot,

1048
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 2: but what about bus gms. I mean, Carolina had both

1049
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 2: of them on their team at one point. Well, everyone

1050
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 2: in Carolina got fired, the GM fired, the coach fired.

1051
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 2: So I think Carolina blew out everyone there. I do

1052
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 2: think for both guys. I think Sam would be the

1053
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: first to tell you that year where he got out

1054
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 2: of Carolina went to the forty nine ers, just got

1055
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: to be the backup ch the course of his career.

1056
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: For Baker, I think he was a better player than Sam.

1057
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 2: He is a better player than Sam. He just needed

1058
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 2: to go to a place that was a little quieter,

1059
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 2: kind of had a little renegade rebel to it, and

1060
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 2: good talent around him, and he got to flourish, like

1061
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: let's face at Tampa, kind of like Oklahoma. When he

1062
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 2: was kicking ass in Oklahoma. Guess what he had Mark Andrews,

1063
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: he had Hollywood Brown, he had Ceedee Lamb, pretty sure,

1064
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 2: he had p Ryan and Joe Mixon. He had Orlando Brown,

1065
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: like Google. Some of the guys Baker Mayfield played with

1066
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma, they were fucking good. They were stacked, they

1067
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 2: were loaded. That's why they were really good. I mean

1068
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,959
Speaker 2: they were top five to ten team his entire career there,

1069
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: and he goes to Tampa. It's kind of got an

1070
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma vibe, you know, here's the thing. As a GM,

1071
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 2: do you get credit for drafting Sam Darnold third overall?

1072
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 2: Because once you draft him, like, you don't coach him.

1073
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: It's I think sometimes when a guy's a bust, it's

1074
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: more in the coaching staff than the GM, though. I

1075
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 2: think the G has a lot of control over the

1076
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 2: type guys that are in that locker room. So it's

1077
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 2: probably a combination of everyone, but not everyone just flourishes

1078
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 2: from day one. You know, some guys take some time.

1079
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 2: Some guys are major works in progress. Some guys need

1080
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,439
Speaker 2: some time. Look at Tom Brady was the six round pick.

1081
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 2: It wasn't until like his like third Super bowlhe people like, yeah,

1082
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 2: he's pretty good quarterback. I got a lot of questions

1083
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 2: about Baker. We'll end on this in your opinion, had

1084
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 2: the Brown stuck with Baker, do you think they'd be

1085
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 2: Super Bowl contenders? They seem to have every piece but

1086
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 2: a quarterback. And how amazing is it that Baker was

1087
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 2: playing on the scout team defense. That picture I saw

1088
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Jason light on Twitter reposted it of Baker Bayfield lining

1089
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 2: up what looks like is a nose tackle on the

1090
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 2: scout team. It's a pretty embarrassing look for Carolina. Now,

1091
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 2: granted this is not the Canalists or Dan Morgan like

1092
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 2: other people running the show rule, but it's just it's

1093
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 2: a rough it's a rough visual. I'm gonna stick with

1094
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 2: my thought on this. I do not think they would

1095
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: because I just don't think. I don't think he'd be

1096
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 2: on the team. I mean I think he Sometimes people

1097
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 2: are meant to break up. It just sometimes not everything's

1098
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 2: meant to work. Things can flourish for a minute and

1099
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 2: then things end like not every place is just like

1100
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: this inevitable no matter what, Like Peyton Manning and the Colts,

1101
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 2: like it was just gonna work, and Peyton was gonna

1102
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 2: drag that organization to not just relevancy but a super Bowl.

1103
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: It was inevitable, even at times where it's like, I

1104
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 2: don't know if you could beat the Patriots, Like looking back,

1105
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning, they were gonna win a super Bowl. In hell,

1106
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 2: they probably should have won two. But I think the

1107
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 2: Baker situation for him personally, the organization, I don't think

1108
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 2: it would have worked. It didn't so and I don't

1109
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 2: think we get this guy. You have to wonder if

1110
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: the belief when Sean McVay signed him on a Tuesday,

1111
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 2: and he started on a Thursday, and he won that game.

1112
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 2: Just breathe a little life into the guy. I don't

1113
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: care who you are. You lose confidence, you get in

1114
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 2: a bad mental spot as a young person. You can

1115
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 2: put on a facade and this like tough guy exterior.

1116
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: Inside we all question ourselves are we good enough? Do

1117
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 2: we got it? Is this gonna work out? You can

1118
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: be scared. It's much easier. It's much easier for me

1119
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: at forty to battle through insecurities or battle through a

1120
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 2: bad day. It's like I've seen a lot in the

1121
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 2: last twenty years. It's a lot more difficult at twenty

1122
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 2: five when I was having a shitty dad. Way less

1123
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 2: experience being a grown up. Just like at sixty years old,

1124
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have way more experience in life with children

1125
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 2: than I do right now. So the Baker Mayfield that

1126
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 2: you see now conduct himself and carry himself around Tampa

1127
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 2: like he's seen a lot of shit. You can be like, well,

1128
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Johnny had to walk on at Texas Tech. Yeah, then

1129
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 2: he went to Oklahoma and became a starter and kicked

1130
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 2: everyone's ass and all he did was have success. And

1131
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 2: then he came in a draft with Josh Allen and

1132
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson went number one overall. I do think the

1133
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 2: Humble Pie changed the course of his life and off

1134
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: the field, and I see it with myself, like getting married,

1135
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 2: having a child like that tends to have a positive

1136
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 2: impact on people, and it clearly did on him. And

1137
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 2: then obviously is losing weight as well. He looks slimmer,

1138
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 2: and he just looks good. I mean, he looks like

1139
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: he did at Oklahoma. He's a baller. He's also the

1140
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: type player. You know, Mahomes has this too. They're just

1141
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 2: kind of gamers. They just got like this is the

1142
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 2: analytic guys hate this, but like what do you mean

1143
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: by it? I don't know. I can't really quantify it.

1144
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 2: But whatever that is, Baker's got some of that shit

1145
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 2: deep in his veins and you see it when you

1146
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 2: watch him play. And it's come back out in Tampa

1147
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: because he had it at Oklahoma. Then it disappeared for

1148
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 2: a couple of years in Cleveland. What's back now because

1149
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 2: you see it when you watch it. I mentioned this

1150
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: the other night, like he has the Farvan quality. That's Mahomes.

1151
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: You know, Curry who was compared to Mahomes, Like there's

1152
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 2: just something, like I some h factor that these guys

1153
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 2: have that they're just they got Like we're playing at

1154
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 2: recess to them, except they're playing the Houston Texans, who

1155
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 2: have one of the best defenses on the road. And uh,

1156
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 2: he's one of my favorite players in the league and

1157
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm glad that he resurrected his career.

1158
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: The volume
