Speaker 1: how do you beat that? Multiple millionaires crowned with winning this,

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,920

Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's having a great day. I know I did.

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: Went for a long little hike around Lake Tahoe. Only

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: here for about forty eight more hours, So tried to

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: enjoy the sun and had a little lunch. And then

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: I got back and I saw a bunch of stuff

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL happen. So fired up the old machine

44
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: and wanted to dive in. Because obviously Brandon Ayuk showed

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: up to camp. Some questions with Tua how he will

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: play this out. We had some raises given out Stafford

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Namari Cooper, Christian Darisaw former twenty third overall pick, Viking

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Star Tackle, got a lot of money, I mean got

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: a lot of money. The Jets. We'll dive into the

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: Jets drive mail had some comments in an eighteen game schedule,

51
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: which seems inevitable. So we will dive into some football

52
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: as well as a mail bag. So the mail bag.

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need some mailbag questions. I mean, I got

54
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: some for this podcast. But make sure you fire into

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: those dms at John Middlecoff as the instagram at John

56
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: Middlecoff Instagram. Fire in those dms very very easy to do.

57
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: So do that because I'm gonna need a bunch coming

58
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: through training camp, and I think this is the plan tomorrow.

59
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: It's really my last day in Tahoe. Probably no podcast

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: unless something you never know in the NFL. We've got

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: a pretty full day plan. But if saying you have

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: something breaks, I'll be ready and then we'll have We'll

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: finish one with Thursday for Friday, and then we'll just

64
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: get back to our normal schedule next week. I'll be

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: back home by the end of the week. And other

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: than that, I think me and Colin are gonna record

67
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: something on Sunday, So a lot of football content obviously

68
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: once really August hits. Uh, it'll be NonStop every single

69
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: day because that's how we do. And subscribe to the

70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: podcast if you listen on Collins Feed three and out

71
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. We got that covered a lot of you guys,

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: which I appreciate. Hit me up about the Mike Commodore interview.

73
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Just a beauty. If you haven't got a chance to

74
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: listen to that. He's a hockey player, He's it's an

75
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: incredible interview. Uh, He's just he's just the least storyteller.

76
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: I can't I can't recommend it enough. Uh. I mean

77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys are like, I'm not even

78
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: a hockey guy, and that was all. Yeah, it's just

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: it's it's elite. Uh, so go check that out from

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago and have a couple of

81
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: ideas on some interviews too that I think would be

82
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: pretty cool sometime in August and we'll get rocking and rolling.

83
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: But uh, other than that, anymore updates. I think that's it.

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: So no podcast probably tomorrow, but we will have one

85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: on Friday and uh and yeah, so let's let's dive

86
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: right in. But first, I was on a text. I'm

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: on a group text with a bunch of people that

88
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: I worked with at Fresno State, and one of them

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: now is at Oklahoma. He's essentially the GM True Hill,

90
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: and I've been telling him forever I want to go

91
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: to the red rival rivalry, the Texas Oklahoma game. And

92
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: it's my fortieth birthday this year, and we've been talking,

93
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: you know, should we go to an SEC game that

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: technically is an SEC game now because Texas Oklahoma are joining.

95
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: And I was like, maybe, with my close personal friends,

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: my partners in the official ticketing app of this podcast,

97
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: we can figure something out and go to one of

98
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the most historic rivalries in all of sports in this country.

99
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: And anyone who wants to attend any game college row concerts.

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: You want to go to a concert, get outside, have

Speaker 1: today last minute ticket's lowest prices guaranteed. I got home

110
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: and I watched the press conference of John Lynch and

111
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, and anyone that saw Kyle today saw that

112
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: he shaved off his mustache. I tried to trim up

113
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: and do a mustache, but my mustache just does not

114
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: come in full. And as Kyle said, the thing, when

115
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: you become a mustache guy, you it just brings you

116
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: respect because someone has to have an opinion, whether they

117
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: like it or they don't. They look at you weird,

118
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: but it creates e motion with people when they see you.

119
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I tried to pull it off good. Not But the

120
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: big news out of forty nine ers land today is

121
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: that Brandon Ayuk is attending training camp. Now. They've had

122
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: this happen before with Deebo Samuel, he did not practice.

123
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty clear. I've been in enough

124
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: negotiations in my life to know the older you get

125
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and all sorts you know with high level billion dollar

126
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: companies and startups that you were hoping would be that

127
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: turned out not to be and went under. Is that

128
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: anytime negotiations get shady, and for most of us, these

129
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: aren't public negotiations, but anytime that you feel that shady

130
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: stuff is going on, it's harder to get a deal done.

131
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Now in a public forum like the NFL, to me,

132
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: that's the equivalent of using the media. And I understand Brandon.

133
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: This is his first big contract. He's very emotional and

134
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: he used the media up several times and the last

135
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: one to request a trade. I've said this all the time,

136
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: this is not the NBA. Teams don't capitulate to your

137
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: demands immediately. In that the forty nine ers don't give

138
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: a shit. No one cares when you scrub your Instagram account,

139
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: No one cares when you tell one of the national

140
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: reporters you request to trade, it does it, especially in

141
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the summer, It doesn't actually do anything.

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: The easiest way to get a deal done, and players

143
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: like Brandon Ayuk are players that their team wants to

144
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: get a deal done with is to play ball. And

145
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: the easiest way to play ball is good faith negotiations.

146
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: And the way you do that as a player is

147
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: you show up a training camp. Now you don't have

148
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: to get on the field. Look at Jordan Love, I'm

149
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: not risking getting injured. For Jordan Love, that could be

150
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and fiftye hundred and eighty two hundred million dollars.

151
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: For Brandon Ayuk that could be sixty seventy million dollars guaranteed.

152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: I totally get it. I support guys that want to

153
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: hold in, but younger players, I think this is the

154
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: way to go, especially when you know the team financially

155
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: plans on paying you. These negotiations are tough. We're talking

156
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Most teams just don't hand out

157
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: that type money, especially when they have a ton of

158
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: other guys under contract, and it's complicated. But I promise

159
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: you this, and John Lynch reiterated this, we plan on

160
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: this guy being a forty nine er. We want him

161
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: on the team. Of course they do. He's a winning player.

162
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: They have won a ton the last couple of years

163
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: with him being their number one outside option. But once

164
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: you get down to in any negotiation, the final hour,

165
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Ayuk and the forty nine ers have

166
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: to kind of draw a line in the sand. Are

167
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: we gonna let this deal pass over a total of

168
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: five million dollars? Right? A million extra a year, to

169
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: bump that number from twenty six and a half to

170
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight right over a four year period or whatever.

171
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Anyone that's ever bought a house or sold a house,

172
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: or sold a car, or sold any asset, you get

173
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to a port a certain time in the negotiation where

174
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: emotions are high. I don't care if you're selling something

175
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: worth a thousand dollars or two million dollars, like you

176
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: get emotional over things, and I think you see this

177
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot in real estate. Are we gonna let this

178
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: deal go over five thousand dollars? Are we gonna let

179
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: this deal go over ten thousand dollars? This is a

180
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: one point eight million dollar transaction. And that's where I

181
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: think the forty nine ers and Brandon Ayuk are kind

182
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: of looking at each other, you know, from across the

183
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: negotiation table, but we're close, and we got to get

184
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: this figured out. Someone's gonna blink. And I think the

185
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: reality is is that Brandon Ayuk through his last curve

186
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: ball the trade request, and he realized those guys don't

187
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: give a shit. They simply do not. That's the National

188
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Football League. If I don't want to trade you, and

189
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: I like you, and you're emotionally charged up and you

190
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: want to trade, I just yeah, see, it's training camp.

191
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: And that's essentially what the forty nine ers said. And

192
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: I give him credit. He showed up because the easiest

193
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: way to get this deal done is doing exactly what

194
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: he did, show up. George Kittle had a great line

195
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: today that he said Richard Sherman told him contract negotiations

196
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: are a lot like bracist. They suck when they're on,

197
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: just like they suck when you're going through a negotiation.

198
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: But once they're off, once the deal is signed, you

199
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: forget that you even went through it. You have a

200
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: big smile on your face. And that's what's happening here.

201
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: It happened last year with Nick Bosa, it happened a

202
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: couple of years ago with Deebo Samuel the forty nine ers.

203
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: To me, the only team that's truly championship or bust

204
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: is the Chiefs because they're the only team rattling off championships.

205
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: But like the forty nine Ers, anything less than winning

206
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: the NFC and being back in the Super Bowl with

207
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: a chance to win it is a major, major disappointment.

208
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: And I'm on a bunch of text threads with Niner people.

209
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: The reality of even the potential trade is any team

210
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: trading a first round pick, and let's face the forty

211
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: nine is probably gonna want more. I would say at

212
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: minimum they'd want like a one and a three and

213
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: then giving him one hundred and twenty million dollar contract.

214
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I would say probably not. I think

215
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: teams would be willing to acquire them. Like the Titans

216
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: traded for what's his name snead On the Chiefs, they

217
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: trade a third round pick. The New York Giants traded

218
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: for Brian Burns and then they both paid those guys

219
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money. They didn't even give it a

220
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: first round pick. So yeah, teams are open to making deals.

221
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: For good players, but at what cost? Because I know

222
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: I have to pay them, but what type of draft

223
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: capital do I have to use? The other thing draft capital?

224
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Right now, as we see here on July twenty third,

225
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: with the season upon us and in front of us,

226
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: does the forty nine ers no good. It's actually completely irrelevant.

227
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Having that draft capital for a player that you're going

228
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: to select in the spring of twenty twenty five does

229
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: nothing for you. Trying to win the division, trying to

230
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: beat the Rams, the Lions, the Eagles, the Packers in

231
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then probably the Chiefs in the Super

232
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Bowl does nothing. And that's why they have no intention

233
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: of trading him, just trying to get the deal worked out.

234
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: And other than that, in forty nine or Land, nothing really.

235
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: There was a story going around that Perdy was obviously

236
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: he was injured last year in the Eagles game, had

237
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: to rehab the entire offseason, and basically that he was

238
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: injured early on in the season, like he was not

239
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy. And this is a big year

240
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: for Perdy, right because if he has another successful season

241
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: of throwing thirty plus touchdowns, this team wins twelve plus games,

242
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: he's going to get an astronomical amount of money, and

243
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: let's face it, the conversation surrounding him all stemmed back

244
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: to where he was drafted. Because if Trey Lance had

245
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: played like brock Perdy, everyone would be calling him like

246
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: John Elway. So when you're not drafted high, people don't

247
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: want to think you're good. It's just that simple, right, Listen.

248
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: We can nitpick Dak Prescott all we want. He's one

249
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: of the greatest fourth round picks in the history league.

250
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: Same with Kirk Cousins. I guess Dak might have been

251
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: a third round pick. Tom Brady. People forget now because

252
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: it was twenty five years but for those first three

253
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: or four or five seasons, a lot of people thought

254
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: Tom Brady wasn't that good, and it was the defense

255
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: carrying him and Peyton Manning was the best quarterback even

256
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: though he was rattling off Super bowls. When you're drafted

257
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: high and you play well, saying oh look at this guy,

258
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: Holy shit, this guy's good, that's just not what happens

259
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: when you're drafted late. Because fans, media, people within the

260
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: league have a hard time going, yeah, I didn't see

261
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: this coming either, which no one did. And that's Okay,

262
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: he's good. I think one thing that's interesting, and we'll

263
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: find out more in the next couple of days with

264
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, is if Tua takes the tactic of not

265
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: practicing right like a lot of these other guys. I'm

266
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: waiting to get my contract done. What if the Dolphins

267
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: don't plan on throwing him the contract that he thinks

268
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna get. I never understand this in the NBA.

269
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: The majority of these contracts that you see signed over

270
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: the last several years one hundred and fifty million dollars,

271
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million dollars, two hundred million dollars.

272
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: It's like you have no shot on God's green Earth

273
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: to win a championship. Paying that guy that money you

274
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: don't And it's always, well, we gotta do it, you

275
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Well, yeah, you gotta pay Steph Curry,

276
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: you gotta pay Lebron, you gotta pay Yannis, you gotta

277
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: pay Jason Tatum. But like, do you gotta pay Bradley Beal?

278
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: You gotta do that. I see all these teams around

279
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the league paying all these young players, the Raptors. I

280
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: saw yesterday the Calvs played Evan Mobley, two hundred and

281
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars, Like, yeah, that's pretty risky. And then

282
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: the NFL's always like, well, the next quarterback he's gonna

283
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: get more money? Is he? Is he? Because if you

284
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: sign Tua to just oh, he just gets two hundred

285
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: and five million dollars guaranteed. I feel no sympathy for

286
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: you when you have no chance to win a Super Bowl. None,

287
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: because right now you have no chance to win a

288
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, absolutely none. It's not even debatable. The Dolphins

289
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: cannot win a Super Bowl with Tua Tongo by Low

290
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: as their quarterback, but they can be really competitive, and

291
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for that, because for a

292
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: lot of my life, that franchise they've sucked. Why can't

293
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: they just give him like one hundred million dollars? Why

294
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: can't that exist be Like, listen, we know we got

295
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: no shot to take down guys like Josh Allen, Joe Burrow,

296
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and obviously Patrick Mahomes, but this guy can

297
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: keep us competitive in the regular season. When it gets

298
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: late in the year, obviously we're gonna come crashing down.

299
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: But listen, we're gonna win ten eleven games and be

300
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: relevant in the league, and there's something to be said

301
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: for that. This is the business, and we're gonna make money,

302
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be a playoff team or at least

303
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: be a competitive team every year for the chance to

304
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. That's not two hundred million dollars

305
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: right to me? That It's like, couldn't you give him

306
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones contract? Why can't you do that? Like to me,

307
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: that would be the offer. Hey man, we'll give you

308
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: like three years, one hundred and ten million dollars, will

309
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: guarantee eighty of it. Can't do that? Well, how about

310
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: no money? How about we don't give you a contract extension?

311
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: Who we bidding against? Like, who are we bidding against?

312
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: That's my question. That was the question when Daniel Jones

313
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: last year? Who are you bidding against? That's what businesses

314
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: like The Minnesota Vikings just paid their star tackle a

315
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: ton of money one hundred and thirteen million dollars. They

316
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: gave him seventy seven guaranteed. He got a ton He's

317
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: a high end player. If that guy hit free agency

318
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: and he's still got a couple of years on his contract,

319
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: he would get so much money it would feel like

320
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: another quarterback he would probably eclipse like Nick Bosa because

321
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: high end left tackles never make it. They know his value.

322
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: It's really freaking high value. That high it obviously isn't nothing.

323
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: He's a starting quarterback who can produce in the NFL,

324
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: so immediately there's a minimum value on that. But what

325
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: is it? A couple of years ago Derek Carr signed

326
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: that deal with the New Orleans Saints. Why couldn't the

327
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins offer him that plus a couple of year inflation

328
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. Why does it always have to be, Oh,

329
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: this next deal is going to be two hundred and

330
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: ten million dollars? Why does it have to be that

331
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: when you know I can't beat the top five guys

332
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: in my conference, no freaking shot. I don't get it.

333
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: I really don't, and I will stand by that forever.

334
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: I don't get in the NBA. But not shocked. And

335
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: it's why the majority of NBA teams don't have a

336
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: snowball shot in hell to get past like the first

337
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: round in the playoffs for their entire franchise history. Like

338
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: you're just always irrelevant, right, but your payrolls really high

339
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: and your expenses are high, and it's like good luck buddy. Like,

340
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: when you give these huge contracts to quarterbacks that don't

341
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: deserve it and then you lose, no one should ever

342
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: have sympathy for you. Doesn't mean the guy shouldn't get

343
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: any money, doesn't mean you shouldn't give him a contract

344
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: extension if you feel comfortable with him as your quarterback.

345
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: But like, there's a difference between beachfront property and something

346
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: in the valley, right, So if Mahomes and Josh Allen

347
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: and Lamar a beachfront property, who ain't so Like, I'm

348
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: not paying the same price for a house forty five

349
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: minutes Inland. Sorry. A couple other guys that got contract

350
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: changes to their contract raises, Matt Stafford and Amari Cooper,

351
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: and I think both these guys are good examples of

352
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: With the Rams and the Browns in twenty twenty four,

353
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: anything less than being in the playoffs is a disaster.

354
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Anytime you have Sean McVay and Matt Stafford as who's healthy,

355
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: you should win ten eleven games and then you're a

356
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: threat immediately in the playoffs. The Cleveland Browns paid a

357
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: quarterback two hundred and thirty million dollars. Any Browns fan

358
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: listening your rosters really good. Anything less than being back

359
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: in the playoffs is a major major problem. So Amari

360
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: Cooper very very productive. It feels like Amari is one

361
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: of those guys you're like kind of underachiever, like would

362
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: have expected more, and in a weird way, you kind

363
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: of would have when he was drafted in those first

364
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: couple of years when he was on the Raiders. But

365
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: google Amari statue. He has been extremely productive in his career.

366
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: Never gonna go to the Hall of Fame or anything, but

367
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: he's going to have a fantastic NFL career and he's

368
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: very very important to them because, like I said, he produces,

369
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford, as we've seen when he's not in,

370
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: is the engine that drives McVeigh in that offense. So

371
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: giving these guys raises, making them happy. Anytime you have

372
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: super important employees, you want to take care of him. Now,

373
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: we're not giving you a huge contract extension, but listen,

374
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: we're heading into training camp. Your key pieces to what

375
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: we're doing. We want to take care of you, and

376
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: that's what we did. It's funny. I've seen a lot

377
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: of takes with the Jets and everything's like, ah, same

378
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: old Jets. It's always something. This is not a new story.

379
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: If you buy a car and the AC doesn't work,

380
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: and then you're driving around in the summer and you

381
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: don't get the air conditioning fixed and you start complaining

382
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: because it's super hot in your car, that's not the

383
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: person who sold you the car's problem. That's on you

384
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: go fix the air conditioning. The Jets acquired a player

385
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: who was outspokenly talking about needing more money. It was

386
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: well documented. This was not something that came out of

387
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: left field. This was something that was publicly known. So

388
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: even when people say how he fleece them, like, how

389
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: would Joe Douglas not know that doesn't want a contract,

390
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: when literally NFL fans know because they just go on

391
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: the internet and they see it out there in the open.

392
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: So you traded for a player, listen, been a very

393
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: productive pass rusher in the NFL. He's a good player.

394
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Got no problem trading for But you know this was

395
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: a guy who wanted more money. Happens all the time

396
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Back to Brandon Ayuk. If you trade

397
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: for Brandon Ayuk, you can't be shocked with the moment

398
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: he gets there. He wants a new contract. Right, This

399
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: is this is well established established that a son Reddick

400
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: wanted more money. So when I see all these people

401
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: like same old Jesse, this goes back to three months

402
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: ago when they traded for the fucking guy. So to me,

403
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: this is one hundred percent on Joe Douglass. Like, you

404
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: traded for a guy that wanted money. Did you think

405
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: like you could just talk him off the ledge, like, hey, man,

406
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: if you produce this year, we'll take care of you

407
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: next year. Like this ain't Darryl Morey and James Harden here.

408
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: So unless you plan on giving this guy a new contract,

409
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: this was going to be your problem. And it's like, well,

410
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: eventually it we'll find him, we'll show up. So you're

411
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: trading for a player that you've never had, that you

412
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: do not know, and you're just going to take on

413
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: this problem and hope it works itself out without paying him.

414
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: So to me, this is one hundred percent on Joe

415
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Douglas in the front office. Can't happen. I'm all for

416
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: trading for a guy that wants more money, taking care

417
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: of him and then getting him like that's part of

418
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: why you don't have to pay as much in draft capital.

419
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: But he's not a training camp today. Of course, he's

420
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: not a training camp today, just like he wasn't at OTA's.

421
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: He wants more money. It's why the Eagles didn't want

422
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: him anymore. Now you could argue maybe they thought they

423
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: get upgrade they signed the dude from the Jets, but

424
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: the reason they did that they got the guy in

425
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: a cost controlled contract and they got rid of their

426
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: older quote unquote headache. I like Reddick. He's a good

427
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: pass rusher, but this goes back to like the Miami

428
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins thing. I feel no sympathy for this situation. You

429
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: inherit did the problem, so you don't get to complain

430
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: about the problem when you inherit it and you're clearly

431
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: doing nothing to fix it. I just like to me

432
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: how he's obviously fleeced people before, but in this situation,

433
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you want Reddick. It's not like he

434
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't know the contract situation. I just now, if you

435
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: want to say it's always something with the Jets, I agree,

436
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: there's a lot of noise there. And this is not

437
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: Belichick or Tomlin or Pete Carroll or Andy Reid, one

438
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: of these older veteran coaches that have seen it all.

439
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: This is a bald guy who dies as Beard, who's

440
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: literally fighting for his head coaching life, who has proven

441
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: to get a little over his head with some of

442
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: these situations. We've seen it with Zach Wilson. We saw

443
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: it this offseason when Aaron wanted to go to the Pyramids.

444
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: It's like he doesn't always say the right things and

445
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: things get weird, which is natural for young coaches who've

446
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: accomplished nothing. So throwing this on your coach without handling

447
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: this from the front office ownership level, it is. You know,

448
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: I saw Colin call the New York Giants and Mickey

449
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: Mouse like, this is Mickey Mouse. This is Mickey Mouse

450
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: trading for a guy that wants a new contract and

451
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: not giving a new contract, Like what what the fuck

452
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: you think is gonna happen? Uh? Drod Mail I saw

453
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: this headline on Pro Football Talk. He must have talked

454
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: either today or yesterday. Called this a foundation year, like

455
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: laying the foundation, and which is right? Right? They chang

456
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: Hi from Belichick, got a lot of young players. Obviously,

457
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback really high that's probably gonna red shirt

458
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: probably a minimum half the season. He's not wrong. They

459
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: are not going to be any good, which he's essentially saying,

460
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: here's the problem is, they haven't been good for a while.

461
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: So this fans who listen obviously very spoiled. They had

462
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: one of the greatest twenty year runs in like the

463
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: history of sports. I mean you have to go back

464
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: to like the Bill Russell Celtics or something, or John

465
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: Wood in UCLA Bruins or Alabama fans. These last fifteen years,

466
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: it's we're never seeing it again. But like it's football,

467
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: and while you don't have to win the Super Bowl

468
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: every year, it is fun to root for. And this

469
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: is my thing with Tua, Like, I got no problem.

470
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: It's giving him extension, got like thirty five million dollars

471
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: a year, thirty two million dollars a year. That's what

472
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: I think your value is. I like winning. It's fun

473
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: to win nine to ten games and be in the mix,

474
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: Like there's value in that. The problem for Mao is

475
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna be is like if he has a couple losing seasons,

476
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: which is very possible, and this year they win four games,

477
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: next year they win five or six, that's a lot

478
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: of losing for the fan base. And this is not

479
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: like Los Angeles. People care there and it gets ugly

480
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: and it gets angry, and Robert Kraft's gonna take a

481
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: lot of shit. He's going to take a ton. And

482
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: you have to wonder when the arrows come out, because

483
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: forever win or lose. Bill and Tom took every bullet.

484
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: And then when Bill shorted Tom and he went to

485
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: the bucks, it was all Bill. No one said anything

486
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: about anyone else beside Bill Belichick, and rightfully so, he

487
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: was the grand pooba. He called the place. He was

488
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: in charge of the coaching staff, whether he individually called

489
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: the plays, you know what I mean. He obviously picked

490
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: all the players. He was in complete control. He had

491
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: more control over football than probably anyone will ever see

492
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: ever again. But now it's like Drod Mail. Let's see, really, Dylan,

493
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: is he like even calling the defense? He definitely not.

494
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with the offense. It's gonna be

495
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: on the crafts. And when you start going after the owner,

496
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: the easiest way to get them off them being the fans.

497
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: And I got news for you. The fans in football

498
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: have a lot of juice because there's a lot of

499
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: time between games, so you end up reading a lot

500
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: of articles, you listen to a lot of talk radio,

501
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: you get a sense for it if that place is empty,

502
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: which obviously the Crafts have invested a lot into. Like

503
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: is this guy getting three years to just suck? You

504
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: see it with the Mars, right, people are gonna go

505
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: after John Marra constantly, constantly. So if this year they

506
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: suck and the Giants win five games, six games, Like,

507
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: John Mara doesn't want people just talking shit about him constantly.

508
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: So the easiest thing to do, fire GM, fire the coach,

509
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: and just give people hope, because that's what hiring new

510
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: people does. It just give people hope. And I have

511
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: to wonder how long this leash is going to be.

512
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm not acting like Gerrod Mayo, you know,

513
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve a long leash, but it's going to be

514
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: very difficult. And his quarterback's a pretty major prospect or project,

515
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe just like year two he becomes

516
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: a top ten player and you're you're off and running.

517
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: But if there's a lot of growing pains and maybe

518
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinators not right, all of a sudden, you go,

519
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: is this guy in trup That's how fast it happens,

520
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: not for long. That's what the NFL stands for for

521
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: coaches and executives, because you gotta win, you gotta win fast.

522
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: You're not getting some long landing strip. You see this

523
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: in college football all the time. You're not allowed in

524
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: the Power five to go like three years and not

525
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: show some serious signs. By your third year, you better

526
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: be competitive, like eight or nine wins if you know no.

527
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm obviously like Alabama, LSU, Georgia, USC the standards are

528
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: really high. But even like the random programs at Wisconsin,

529
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: you'll see it with rule at Nebraska, like by your

530
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: third year, we better be competing like nine if we ain't.

531
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Cyon are the amount of money in the NFL, in

532
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: the Power five, especially in the Big Ten in the SEC,

533
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: it's not hard for me to fire you. When I

534
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: was a kid, a lot of coaches got longer leashes.

535
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: A huge reason was because these owners weren't flushed with

536
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: the cash and didn't want to pay them to go away.

537
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear now they have no hesitation because it

538
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: doesn't impact their pocketbook. Paying a coach twenty thirty million

539
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: dollars to go away for an SEC school, for a

540
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: Big Ten school, for an NFL team is a line item.

541
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: It'd be like me making a thousand dollars payment, it

542
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: means nothing. And when money becomes nothing, it happens in

543
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: all of our lives at different rates. At one point

544
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: in time, ten dollars or twenty dollars or one hundred

545
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: dollars a lot to you, then maybe one thousand dollars

546
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: a lot to you, Then maybe one hundred thousand dollars

547
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot to you, then maybe a million dollars a

548
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: lot to you. Goes for businesses, right, most startup businesses,

549
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: like all the expenses matter, and then as you grow

550
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: and grow, like Amazon, Apple, Walmart, the way they look

551
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: at ten fifteen fifty million dollars is a lot different

552
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: than they did depending early on in their maturation as

553
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: a company. No different with football, and I think a

554
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of these coaches are gonna find out, like no

555
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: one wants to watch bad football cause it's fucking awful,

556
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: Baseball whatever, no one watches every night, it's on. If

557
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: your team sucks, it's kind of irrelevant in football that

558
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: one week a year is a big deal. And when

559
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: you suck for consistently, it's impossible to survive. Now and

560
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: I just wonder, like, is this guy getting three years

561
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: this guy getting three years, I would like. I think

562
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: he would have to show some serious life by year

563
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: three to survive. I think it's gonna be difficult. Belichick

564
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: handed him a shitty roster, he's got a project quarterback,

565
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: he's a young coach, and shit, he's only been coaching

566
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: for you know, four or five years as an assistant,

567
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: maybe even less than that was like eighteen. Clearly an

568
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: impressive guy. But the other thing is the ghost of

569
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: Bill Man. It's no different with Debor and Saban. It's

570
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: just a lot easier to inherit Alabama than it is

571
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: a bad NFL roster. Last, but not least, the eighteen

572
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: game schedule, The Washington Post reported that it's pretty clear,

573
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: like why are we even doing these reports, Like we

574
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: don't need these reports. Eighteen games is coming to me.

575
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: The report is the NFL plans to do eighteen games

576
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six or twenty twenty five or twenty

577
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight. That's the only report we need moving forward.

578
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: It's inevitable. It's not like might happen. It's happening. It

579
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent happening. Why because that means more

580
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: money for the players, and you know who never turns

581
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: down more money. Employees like it's it happened with a

582
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: seventeen game, it happened with Thursday night football. It will happen.

583
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: And a huge reason is the preseason now is completely irrelevant.

584
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: It does not matter. Those games are terrible now obviously

585
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: the big question mark is there a line of diminishing

586
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: returns you get to a point where you ever dilute football.

587
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: I've said it forever. Football is so far past you

588
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: could combine baseball and basketball in this country. It does

589
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: not equal to the NFL. But like I've lived long enough.

590
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, other sports were on top.

591
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: Football will not be on top for whatever. Do I

592
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: know what's gonna take it down? Who knows. Maybe just

593
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: younger generations won't even like sports. I don't know. Maybe

594
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: television dynamics change, maybe our consumer habit chain, who knows.

595
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: But for the foreseeable future, I don't think there's anything

596
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: that can slow down this freight chain. And I don't

597
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: think eighteen games impacts any of us, partly because like

598
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: we sit there in August and check out a preseason game.

599
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: So now that these preseason games, these starters are not

600
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: playing the majority of the league plays nobody. It's unwatchable,

601
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: it really is. And I love football. I love college football.

602
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: So watching some of these guys that got drafted, it's

603
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: just bad. Like it's bad, right, and there's there's a

604
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: reason it's bad. It's just hard to get young players.

605
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not important for those guys, but

606
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: that's not what the league office looks at this for

607
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: the importance of young player. They care about the money,

608
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: they care about the regular season games, and so do

609
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: the veteran players. So I would guess this thing happens

610
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: sooner than later next year, two years. Obviously, it has

611
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: to be agreed to with the union. You do what

612
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: the union usually doesn't do in any industry. Turn down raises,

613
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: turn down more money. It's not usually the way it happens.

614
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 3: So you have an upcoming fantasy football draft, well, then

00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: that first QB off the board and which manager is

621
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,719

00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Okay, let's dive into a little thing we call the

Speaker 1: middle Cooff Mailbag. Very very easy to get involved. You

632
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: just fire into my DMS, You fire into my dms

633
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: at John middlecoff Is the Instagram and get a question

634
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: answered here on the show. So yeah, doesn't get any easier.

635
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there could be any easier way to

636
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: communicate unless you don't have Instagram. You try to send

637
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: me an email and then it kind of gets lost

638
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: in the shuffle. Question for the bag I heard you

639
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: say on today's podcast you were in on love. Who

640
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: do you have more faith in? Or who are you

641
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: ready to pay love? Or party? Well, I don't have

642
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: to pay party for a year because I wouldn't be

643
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: that comfortable. I'm not comfortable paying either. I like paying

644
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: guys after a longer sample size. And Jordan Loves doesn't

645
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: get any smaller. Right half the year, he wasn't even

646
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: any good After the bye week last year, Gudakin said, yeah,

647
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: these eleven games are gonna define our situation moving forward,

648
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: and the kid answered the bell. He was freaking awesome.

649
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: This is not a cop out because Love is more

650
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: gifted than Perdy. I think Purdy has proven to be

651
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 1: the ultimate Kyle Shanahan player. I feel great about both.

652
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: You know why, infrastructure, the team, the coach. Think about

653
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, you could argue is for me, he's the

654
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: second best coach in the league. But if he's in

655
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: everybody's top five, their defense is awesome. The infrastructure is there.

656
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: So how would you feel bad about party with Kyle Shanahan,

657
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: just like how can you feel bad about Jordan Love

658
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: with Lafleur. Lafleur resurrected Rogers's career, then they got rid

659
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: of him after drafting this guy like he was part

660
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: of it, and then proved that he could coach him.

661
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: How are either guy gonna fail. There's more question marks

662
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: with Love. He's just played less games. Perty's played more,

663
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: not by that much. I mean Purdy played what six

664
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: to seven games his first year including the playoffs, and

665
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: obviously this last year full time starter and three playoff games,

666
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: So that's seventeen twenty games. I don't know the exact

667
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 1: number is his rookie season because he got thrust into

668
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: it when Jimmy broke his foot against the Dolphins. But

669
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: Party's game translates like it because he's a good decision maker.

670
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: See him handle adversity. He's accurate, he's mobile, he can

671
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: play with guys who can't run routes. You know, he's

672
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: got like one legit receiver. Debo is much more of

673
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: a behind the line of scrimmage. His coach is always

674
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: going to have a really good run game, where Love

675
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: is much more of like an explosive playmaker. I think

676
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: they're both going to be really good players for a

677
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: long time. I would bet on them partly because ones

678
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: with the Packers and one with Kyle Shanahan and the Niners.

679
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: And for the last thirty plus years, quarterbacks have dominated

680
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: with the Packers, and as we learned last year, it

681
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's gonna slow down. And Kyle Shanahan

682
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: now has a long history of quarterbacks do well for him,

683
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: specifically this guy who is excelling with training camp starting.

684
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: I can't think of the mood within the Cowboy I

685
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: can't help but think of the mood within the Cowboys

686
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: locker room. I've been watching a receiver and the Giant's

687
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: hard knocks, and you get a sense that juice or

688
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: good vibes contributes a lot to the level of success

689
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I just don't see any juice being

690
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: stirred up in the Cowboys locker room with a coach

691
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: and a quarterback with expiring contracts. In your opinion, is

692
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: there a connection there? If things were to go south,

693
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: it would be a disaster. If they were to get

694
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: off to a bad start, it would snowball. To me,

695
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: there would be no overcoming it because of the contract situations.

696
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: But if they're good, you know, if they're doing what

697
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: they've done in the last three years, I don't think

698
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: it matters with at all at all. And to me,

699
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: the good vibes, like you get good vibes when you win,

700
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: no one has good vibes when you lose. The NFL

701
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: sucks when you lose. In baseball, you can be a

702
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: shitty team, like every day of going to the yard

703
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: having a good time, not a great time, but it's like,

704
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: dam I'm trying to get mine. It's not how it

705
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: works in football. Coaches are miserable, miserable players are miserable

706
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: getting your ass kicked every Sunday. If the Cowboys are competitive,

707
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: it won't matter one iota. Now it will at the

708
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: end of the season when it's like, do you lose

709
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs, do you miss

710
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs by game, then yeah, that would factor in.

711
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: But I would say until the end of September, unless

712
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: you're losing that they're gonna be fine. Question for the mailbag,

713
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: what are some of your favorite bets for the season

714
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: to gamble on? For example, Super Bowl winner, MVP, Defensive

715
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. By the way, Aaron Rodgers comeback

716
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: Player of the Year is going to print money. That

717
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: will be a project probably for the middle of August.

718
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: So I have not even looked at the odds for

719
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I haven't even thought about it,

720
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: to be completely honest with you. To me, MVP Joe

721
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: Burrow would be in the mix for Comeback Player of

722
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: the Year two, so I'd be a little risky on

723
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen's bound to win an MVP, and

724
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: if he puts up great stats, I think he's going

725
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: to be right in the mix. But I haven't will

726
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: do that. We will hammer hammer that in mid to

727
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: late August. Question for the Bag as a Bears fan

728
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: early in this offseason, I questioned the decision to keep Eberflus. Obviously,

729
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Caleb's development is really the only thing that matters moving forward.

730
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: So my question to you is who is more important

731
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: this season to the bears potential success. Eberflus or Shane Waldron. Well,

732
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: I think they go hand in hand because if Shane

733
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: Waldron is good, your offense is going to be good.

734
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: You're loaded, right, I mean, we've got some questions with

735
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: the offensive line, but the quarterback, the three receivers signed,

736
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: a running back, you have a young tight end under contract.

737
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: If your offense is good, we know eber Flus in

738
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: the defense has been much more competitive, you know last

739
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: year for sure, then you're gonna be in close games.

740
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: In close games that like, that's the difference of winning

741
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: ten games or seven, how does he No one has

742
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: judged ebra flus or at least from a national level.

743
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: Maybe locally you have, but when you haven't been that competitive,

744
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: no one cares when you scrip timeouts. No one cares

745
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: when you scrip up situations, you know, to get yourself

746
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: in field goal range or punt or you know, go

747
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: for it. Those situations, as we saw with Braindon Staley

748
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, get put under a microscope.

749
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: So if the offense is good, obviously there's a ton

750
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: of pressure on Waldron to get the offense in a

751
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: different universe than it has been with fields. But if

752
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: that works, that means the nieber flose. His game management

753
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: is under a microscope because the difference of a couple

754
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: wins in the NFL, if you're like a seven eight

755
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: win team, could just be a time out here, a

756
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: decision to go for it there. You know, the difference

757
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: when an eight win team and an eleven win team.

758
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: I don't think the gap is that wide now, the

759
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: gap between a ten to eleven win team and like

760
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: a fourteen win team, I think the GAP's pretty wide.

761
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: But you see a lot of games that are one

762
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: score with five minutes left, and that's where the head coach,

763
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: who essentially is in charge of all the game management stuff,

764
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: obviously as people helping him out, but like it's on

765
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: him to call the time out, it's on him to

766
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: give the offensive coordinator the thumbs up to go for

767
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: it or to punt, And that could be the difference

768
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: of nine and eight might not make the playoffs, and

769
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: if he would have made a more aggressive decision, could

770
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: have been ten wins. And that's where he Fluse would

771
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: come under. Like I said, I think they are equally.

772
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: They go hand in hand. I don't think you can

773
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: separate the two question for the summer mail bag, is

774
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: it easier for dbs to convert to wide receiver or

775
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: vice versa who has the advantage in prep and film study?

776
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: Curious From a former scouts perspective, I think it would

777
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: be easier to take a raw athlete if he has

778
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: decent hands, because you can't play wide receiver if you

779
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: can't catch. And the old adage is a lot of

780
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: dbs are just failed wide receivers. Look at Richard Truman. Now,

781
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: Richard Truman has pretty good hands and has good ball skills,

782
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: But why Richard Truman was a great defensive back. Honestly,

783
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: we're two things. One, his instincts were elite, and you

784
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: can't teach instincts. I don't believe like instincts as a

785
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: defensive back. For good defensive backs are something you have

786
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: or you don't have. And the other thing, like, do

787
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: a lot of wide receivers could they make the transition

788
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: and be great tacklers? You know, Richard made the transition

789
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: in Stanford and it became you could argue the greatest tackling,

790
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: the most physical corner or one of them in the

791
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: history of the league. So can you tackle? You have

792
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: to be able to tackle because the run game, you

793
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: have to be able to tackle. You don't need to

794
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: be Ray Lewis, but you have to be able to tackle.

795
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: But number one is you have to be able to

796
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: play the ball in the air because you are not

797
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: looking at the ball the wide receiver is and your

798
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: instincts when the ball is in the air. So I

799
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: think it is much more difficult to go from wide

800
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: receiver to defensive back because if you have no instincts,

801
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: you can't play the position where if your hands are

802
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: just decent and you can run, you're an elite athlete.

803
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: Like I can teach you to run routes and then

804
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: we can work on your hands. Obviously, if you have

805
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: a stone hands, you got no shot. Someone asked me

806
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: once on the on a DM. I don't think I

807
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: ever responded to it, like how did how did non

808
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: Diassim Wah fall off so badly? And I said one

809
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: When we signed him, it was clear right away his

810
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: athleticism was not what it used to be, so he

811
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: was a diminishing athlete. He had some of the worst

812
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: hands I've ever seen. I mean, there are there were

813
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: dudes on our sideline that were scouts that had better hands.

814
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: Non Diasimwah had stone hands. But you don't need good

815
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: hands to play dB. If you're long and you can

816
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: deflect the ball, obviously you would like them, like pick

817
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: guys off like Revius or Deon Sanders or whatever, champ Bailey.

818
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: You don't need them, though, Like teams will live with

819
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: PBUs all day long. I don't care if you drop

820
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: every interception you've ever had, as long as the ball

821
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: does not get completed. But you have to play the

822
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: ball in the air, and one thing with you can

823
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: get by at wide receiver without being an elite athlete.

824
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: If you're a great right runner and you can get open.

825
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: It is very, very difficult in especially if the scheme

826
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: is going to ask you to play man demand defense

827
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: to get by without being a high end athlete, because

828
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: you're just going to be on an island. And look

829
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: at all the wide receivers in the NFL. Most of

830
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: them are really good athletes. So you have to be

831
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: able to run, you have to be able to mirror

832
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: the guy. You have to be able to change direction,

833
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: you have to be able to turn, and you don't

834
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: know what's coming. The receiver knows what's happening. You don't.

835
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: You may have a good educated guest based on film, study,

836
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: based on the defensive call, based on your preparation, but

837
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: you still don't actually know. It's easier for a wide.

838
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: It's easier for a dB to convert to wide receiver

839
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: than it is for a wide receiver to convert to dB.

840
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: Would be would be my professional opinion. It's hard to

841
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: do either, I mean both. At the NFL level, it's hard.

842
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: Can you weigh in on this? I'm a Titans fan

843
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: and it was just reported that we turned down a

844
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: fourth round pick at the deadline from the Ravens for

845
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: King Henry. I go on Twitter and fans are outraged.

846
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: I completely understand that you knew you were going to

847
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: lose him for nothing, so get anything you can. However,

848
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: in my opinion, you don't trade legends for fourth round picks.

849
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: I hate the double standard of how fans want every

850
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: picker in the draft and trade all your picks during

851
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: the season. What's your opinion? Yeah, I mean I I

852
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: think because he signed a pretty good deal, they're gonna

853
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: end up getting a comp pick that might be a

854
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: fifth or sixth round pick. What the hell's the difference? Right,

855
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens were in the AFC Championship game, so that

856
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: picks at the end of the fourth round, it's essentially

857
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick. I don't think it's that big

858
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: a deal. If you didn't want to trade him to

859
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: me once you get in the second day, I'd say

860
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of gross negligence. But when you're talking a

861
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: fourth round pick from the Ravens, what pick is that,

862
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty, one hundred and thirty something

863
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: in that range. I don't think. I don't think it's

864
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: that relevant. I don't think it matters that much either. Way,

865
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: and like you said, Rabel will still get there. That

866
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: was his guy. I'm fine with not trading him. Hey John,

867
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: congrats and the engagement. Appreciate it. Question for the mailbank.

868
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of getting into sports betting. Any suggestions where

869
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: to start, what type of bets, who to follow, listen

870
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: to for advice bet sizing. Any info would help, obviously

871
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: gambling at any level. I went to Harvey's the other

872
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: night because we went to Lisa vander Pump's restaurant. It's

873
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: called Wolf. It's actually elite. I've watched a little vander

874
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: Pump last year. By no means do I really care

875
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: that much. It's kind of entertaining. Then it got really

876
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: drama filled and I'm like, I can't even follow this.

877
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: I will say this about a restaurant in Harvey's A

878
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: state Line in Lake Tahoe restaurant is really really good.

879
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: Well it's in the casino, so it's like, well, I've

880
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 1: just been the last three or four times. I actually

881
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: gamble a lot on golf during the football season, and

882
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: I used to gamble a ton on blackjack, and the

883
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: older I've gotten I like playing a roulette a little bit,

884
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: but blackjack I have just lost so like Vegas for

885
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: the for the Super Bowl, I lost like five grand

886
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: before he could even blink. So it's like, you know,

887
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: it would have been impossible in my younger days to

888
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: go through a casino and play blackjack without taking out

889
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, four figures and just getting aggressive. But

890
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'll take out a

891
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: couple hundred bucks. I'll play. If I actually got up

892
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: immediately doubled and I couldn't walk away. She was looking

893
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: at me like, why don't you walk away? I'm like, eh,

894
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: I don't really walk away. It's why the casino usually

895
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: takes my money. But it didn't even matter. I just

896
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: I took out two hundred and fifty bucks, gambled. It

897
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: was up a little bit, down a little bit. It

898
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: was just kind of enjoyable thirty minutes. And I think

899
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: you have to have when you're gonna gamble. I don't.

900
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: It's relative to how much money you have. To some people,

901
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars bet is a lot. To some people,

902
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars bet is nothing, and five thousand dollars

903
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: bet is a lot. So you have to pick them

904
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: ount you're comfortable with losing, and when you do that,

905
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: just start off with not that much take you know,

906
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: if you can't afford it, a couple hundred bucks and

907
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: bet like twenty five dollars on a couple of games,

908
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: and if you win it, keep letting a ride, and

909
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: if you lose it, bet the next week, right, But

910
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: just pick a number that you can afford, put a

911
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: little action on it, see how you feel. And if

912
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: you like I feel it'll be a feeling that you'll

913
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: keep chasing the rest of your life. If you don't

914
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: like it, then don't do it. But you know, if

915
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: you're I don't know how old you are. I do

916
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 1: my gambling obviously on DraftKings. I to do it online.

917
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: It's really easy. But I would say bet something that

918
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: you're comfortable with doing early on. Don't try to get

919
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: crazy aggressive. And I would just when football season starts,

920
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,720
Speaker 1: bet a couple games, but twenty five bucks, but fifty

921
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: bucks on a game or two. Say how you like it.

922
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: If you hate it, stop, if you like it, do

923
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: it more. Football's pretty easy. You just bet the point spread.

924
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: That's what I would do. So minus three plus three

925
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: plus six plus whatever big the team you like, bet

926
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: the point spread bet a little bit of money. Question

927
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: for the mailbag, what should the Vikings do about Jordan Addison.

928
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: He's clearly valuable, but reportedly the teams the team is

929
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: very frustrated with him after his incident. Wasn't really an incident?

930
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 1: Wasn't he asleep at the wheel? Wasted? I would say

931
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: that's a little more than an incident. There's this is

932
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: like parents, when a young player or a young kid

933
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: gets in trouble, who you value a lot. Obviously, when

934
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: you're a parently you can't trade your kid. But in

935
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: the Viking situation, he's drafted in the first round and

936
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: you watch him last year, he's pretty freaking good. He

937
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: had an incident a dui. It's more than embarrassing. It's

938
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: just an awful look and he's gonna get suspended more

939
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: than likely. So when the team is frustrated or disappointed,

940
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: like of course they are, but like they're not trading

941
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: him because Jordan Addison, when you're a really good wide

942
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: receiver and you were drafted in the twenties, you're one

943
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: of the best values in the league. So listen, I

944
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: think you just let him know this is unacceptable, Like

945
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: this can't happen. You're rich now, bro, if you're super

946
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: waight said, get an uber, get a car like you

947
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 1: don't need to be. You don't need to be cruising.

948
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Do you think the Jets front office is low key?

949
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: Kind of glad Rogers is stirring up controversy and skipping

950
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: Mini camp and the DeVante Adams teaser. Take some of

951
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: the spotlight off that clown fiesta of a front office,

952
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: and how truly moronic it was to trade for a player.

953
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: You don't want to pay what he's asking, which is

954
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: why how he and the Eagles let him go in

955
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: the first place. Yeah, man, I they can't be not

956
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: thrilled if this if the Cowboys, you know, the Jets

957
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,959
Speaker 1: are so chaotic that their headlines people are so numb to. Now,

958
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: that's why I don't even think it's a story. I mean,

959
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: it's obviously a story, but we've had this information for

960
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: a while. I don't know what anyone expected to change

961
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: if they are not gonna pay him. But if Jerry

962
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: had done this, if Kyle shit Anahan had done this,

963
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: think of some of the teams, if they had done this,

964
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: if Howie had been on the other side, they would

965
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: get crushed. If Belichick when he was around, had done this,

966
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: he'd be like, what are you fucking doing? I can't

967
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: fathom you don't get sympathy or anyone that doesn't call

968
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: you a moron for buying something or acquiring something that

969
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: you know needs to be fixed when you have no

970
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: intention on fixing it, which it clearly feels like. The

971
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: Jets like just thought that he would eventually be like, Yeah,

972
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm cool with playing on my contract, even though all

973
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: I keep saying is I'm not man circus part of it.

974
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: They need him, you know, they just lost one of

975
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: their better pass rushers last year. The Eagles like he's

976
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: kind of important. It's why they trade it for him.

977
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious if big contracts ever become the elephant in

978
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: the room when teams are having a bad season and

979
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: high paid players underperform. Do players call each other out

980
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room? Well, coaches make comments in meetings

981
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: or just take taboo topic. I can't you know. I'd

982
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: never played in the NFL, so I can't pretend to

983
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: know the locker room dynamics. But these are humans. So

984
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: the amount of effort and time that guys put in

985
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: that to me It's one thing if you're just playing

986
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: bad because you're banged up, totally understand. But if you're

987
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: a high priced player and you're playing bad and it's like, yeah,

988
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's working that hard. I think he

989
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: got fat this offseason, he wasn't ready at the start

990
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: of the season, then yeah, I would imagine that's when

991
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: fight happens. Fights happen, And this is not the uh

992
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: these other leagues, man, These coaches, the position coaches talk

993
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: shit NonStop. Twenty four to seven, three sixty five. So

994
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: if you're a high priced player and you're underperforming as

995
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: an NO lineman, as a D lineman, as a wide receiver, coach,

996
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: as a running back. Obviously depends who your position. Some

997
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: position coaches are less confrontational than others. But if you

998
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: have a confrontational position coaches, that guy's gonna light you

999
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: up like a Christmas tree. Your coordinator, if he's confrontational,

1000
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: and obviously the head coach, they're going to be in you.

1001
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: Twenty four seven three sixty five. This is not the

1002
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: NBA or coaches just everything's just rainbows and lollipops. You know.

1003
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not allowed to yell at you You

1004
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: get yelled at constantly, starting in high school football, through

1005
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: college football, through the NFL, and the moment you get paid,

1006
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: which is an awesome accomplishment, the expectations rise and when

1007
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: you don't perform, especially if your team's losing, it gets

1008
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: ugly and it gets ugly fast. And depending on who

1009
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: your coach is, like I said, the hierarchy, the head coach,

1010
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: the coordinator, the position coach, those are long days, man,

1011
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: and you better start performing. And part of it gets

1012
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: back to are you not performing because you have a

1013
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: high ankle spray and you're battling through it, like totally understandable,

1014
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: But are you not performing because you don't know the

1015
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: playbook or you're out of shape, or you just don't

1016
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: care that much. That's where when you cross that line,

1017
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: it's a war zone and you deserve it, because I

1018
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: don't care what industry you're you know you work in.

1019
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: When you get paid a lot of money, expectations are

1020
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: high and it's on you to give everything you have.

1021
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: And that's all any of us can ever do is

1022
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: give one effort. Right. If you're not good enough, you're

1023
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: not good enough. It's pro sport. Sometimes you get beat

1024
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: tip your hat, right, but are you giving max effort?

1025
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: If you are, I think they understand that doesn't mean

1026
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: they still push you. But when you start checking some

1027
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: of those other boxes, then you've got serious problems on

1028
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: your hands. And that's why you have so much turnover

1029
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL because you don't have much time. There

1030
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: are there just aren't really scholarships in the NFL, clearly.

1031
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look at some of these massive contracts in

1032
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: recent years that have been traded Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan,

1033
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: and those are quarterback contracts which are way bigger than

1034
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: all these other positions. So yeah, man, I just it's tough.

1035
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: If you're playing well, you're gonna get yelled at in

1036
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: football no matter what. I get yelled at constantly as

1037
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: a scouts. It's a high contentious, lot of testosterone, a

1038
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: lot of ego, a lot of money. Everyone's fucking on edge.

1039
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: And that's if you're doing well. Start doing poorly, buckle

1040
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: up because it is a long season for everyone involved.

1041
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: Good questions, the volume
