Ravens 77 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: rookies reported today they're the first camp to kind of. 78 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why the Ravens are 79 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 7: always because they're not playing in the Hall of Fame Game. 80 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 7: Usually the first teams that start practicing, like you can first. 81 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 5: They're the first game Chiefs Ravens Thursday Night Football. 82 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, but like you have the Hall of Fame game 83 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 7: in preseason, that's the first preseason game, and usually those 84 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 7: teams start the earliest. 85 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 5: Ravens don't have a new head coach. 86 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm trying to figure out what it is. 87 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 5: They are just all in this year. 88 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: I think it's it's just they. 89 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 5: Just they just are. 90 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: And within the next two weeks everyone will be reporting 91 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: to their camps around the league. So the question is 92 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: that we're starting to show off with who has the 93 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: most pressure heading into camp this year? 94 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 5: All get started. 95 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: I was to say, who do you wanted to go first? 96 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: All uh, all get started with mister Aaron Rodgers. The 97 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: last time this man played a full game was eighteen 98 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: months ago. That is a year and a half ago. 99 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers has so much to prove this year. He 100 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: only lasted four snaps last season before snapping his achilles. 101 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 5: All the pressure is going to be on Aaron Rodgers 102 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 5: and the Jets. 103 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: Not only do they have six primetime games, are favored 104 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: in fourteen of their seventeen, which if they won all 105 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 3: of those should be a solid division win and make 106 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: a playoff runt. But the Jets have put all of 107 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 3: their eggs in the Aaron Rodgers basket. If this doesn't 108 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 3: work out, people are getting fired and it's. 109 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 5: Going to be chaos, justifiably so. And it's not off 110 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 5: to a great start. 111 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: I'm just people say, might say it's not that big 112 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: of a deal, but missing mandatory mini camp. Even if 113 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: you say it's not a big deal, it's mandatory. And 114 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: that's because that's a good example. We know why now 115 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 3: and it was he he was on a vacation in 116 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: each of This is not a good example for the 117 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: younger guys in the locker room when you're supposed to 118 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: be leading by example. Yeah, you can't take away that 119 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: he's a four time MVP, one back to back in 120 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: twenty twenty twenty one, but the last season with the Packers. 121 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 5: He dipped. 122 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: He's forty years old. He's closer to the finish line 123 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: than he is to the start. He's coming off a 124 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: huge injury. It's not a small feat to come back 125 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: from an achilles injury. It's said to be one of 126 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: the hardest. I don't know all all the pressures on 127 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers going into the season. 128 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 7: For me, yeah, I mean the reason the Jets brought 129 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 7: him there was to win a Super Bowl. Yes, and 130 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 7: so that's why, like when we talk about expectations for 131 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 7: the New York Jets, it has to be Super Bowl, 132 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 7: however unrealistic, that feels, yeah, because this is this is 133 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 7: a team that has an unprecedented amount of failure over 134 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 7: the last decade plus. 135 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: Longus Are they one of the little playoffs trout? 136 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, est, I just it's it's I get you know. 137 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot of pressure on Aaron Rodgers. There's 138 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 7: always pressure on Aaron Rodgers. He knows that people will 139 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 7: get fired because this would have been this will be 140 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 7: a horrible deal if he doesn't end up getting the 141 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 7: Jets not even just into the playoffs, but an actual 142 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 7: run to the superwo like because otherwise, like like that's 143 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 7: that's it, Like they have no contingency planned for after 144 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers nothing, or at least they have a little 145 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 7: bit more of a contingency plan though as his backup 146 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 7: this year, or they. 147 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: Didn't have that last year, Like. 148 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 5: Why didn't you go out and get a guy? 149 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 7: Why didn't you go to there's a lot of dysfunction there. Wow, 150 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 7: I yeah, it's it's I yeah, I agree with that. 151 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: He's already like there's already been comments also like just 152 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: like you know, far fetched thought. If it doesn't work 153 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: out with Rogers in New York, maybe he ends up 154 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: in Vegas. There were comments this week about well, you 155 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 3: can't wait to play again with DeVante Adams, and it 156 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: kind of seems more realistic that. 157 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 4: I don't know, there's more realistic that Davante goes he. 158 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 5: Has two more years. 159 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 3: I mean, Rogers has two more years on his contract 160 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: free agent twenty twenty six. He'll be forty two at 161 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: the time. He's already like gone on, there's all the 162 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: tree to believe there still wants to still wants to play. 163 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's. 164 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 7: Just I though, I think it's more realizing that Davante 165 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 7: Adams gets traded into the Jets. I don't know how 166 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 7: the Jets make room for that or what they give 167 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 7: up or any kind of stuff like that. 168 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 4: But you saw in Receiver, if you've been watching Receiver 169 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 4: on Netflix. 170 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 7: I don't watched it yet, Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers 171 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 7: had dinner before the Raiders and the Jets played each other. 172 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: Now Rogers wasn't playing in Vegas. 173 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 7: They had dinner and like there was a parting, like 174 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 7: they said to each other, like basically the sentiment was that, 175 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 7: like it'll happen soon, like we'll play again together soon, 176 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 7: so he'll. 177 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: Be again together soon. 178 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 5: Who's gonna go? 179 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's absolutely like Davante going to the Jets, 180 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 7: because there's there's there's the like if the Jets have 181 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 7: so much talent, yeah, as compared to the Raiders. Like 182 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 7: it's with the Raiders, it's Davante Adams and it's Max 183 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 7: Crosby and that's it. So you think that if the 184 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 7: Jets get I don't know, I think that there's room 185 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 7: for some surprise. Surprise is also David BACHTIERI. Now this 186 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 7: isn't as sexy, but David Batieri left tackle. It doesn't 187 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 7: have a home. So I don't know, do the Jets 188 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 7: go and get him? But yeah, I agree, there's a 189 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 7: lot of pressure around Aaron Rodgers. 190 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 5: Who you got Caleb Williams, Yeah, he was my number two. 191 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 4: Chicago does know how to be chill. I'll be like. 192 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: They've never had that guy, They've never had a quarterback 193 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: this is but this is my thing. Throw over four 194 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: thousand yards and more than thirty So like, yeah, all 195 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: of course are not going to be chill. They finally 196 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: have what they think is a generational talent. 197 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 7: No, No, what I'm saying is they are never chill. It 198 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 7: doesn't matter if they have that guy. They had so 199 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 7: much hype last year because Justin Fields was finally coming 200 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 7: into a second year in a season not. 201 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: As much hype as like getting the number one overall 202 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: picked generational talent. 203 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 7: No, I'm here to tell you this is the cycle 204 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 7: of Chicago Bears fan. It happens every year. As someone 205 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 7: who grew up there, as someone who covers that team, 206 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 7: every year Chicago gets its hopes up. The only difference 207 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 7: about this year is that it is justified, and so 208 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 7: it is justified because it's justified. That adds to I 209 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 7: guess the national attention like. 210 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: Knocks, So now you're gonna have literally the world watching 211 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: you're behind the scenes. 212 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 7: The reason that season, the reason that there is so 213 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 7: much pressure is because there's so much more attention because 214 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 7: you get hard knocks. But you also like on paper, 215 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 7: this roster looks stacked. 216 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 4: It is stacked. 217 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, you've got an embarrassment of riches at receiver, You've 218 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 7: got what should be a good offensive line. Your defense 219 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 7: should be top five in the league this year, returning 220 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 7: defense to Chicago. So that's why these expectations are I 221 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 7: guess more justified. 222 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: But you have no matter how much. 223 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 7: Talent you're surrounded by, Caleb Williams is still a rookie 224 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 7: and coming into the league as a rookie, there are 225 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 7: going to be bumps in the road, and Chicago fans 226 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 7: don't give you a lot of grace, So there's everything 227 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 7: is going to be under a microscope. The good news 228 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 7: is that Caleb Williams, this is nothing new for him, 229 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 7: and Caleb Williams knows how to handle pressure. He knows 230 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 7: how to handle expectations, he knows how to handle the 231 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 7: media circus. And that's something that actually talked to his 232 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 7: left guard Tevin Jenkins about this summer was he is 233 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 7: a businessman through and through, but. 234 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 5: This is he just started a company. 235 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 7: It works in his favor because that he is so 236 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 7: used to this, because he is going to one of 237 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 7: the largest markets in the country, a very passionate fan 238 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 7: base that is going to shine the spotlight on him 239 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 7: all from the I mean, it's already happened. So the 240 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 7: fact that he already knows how to deal with that 241 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 7: and knows how to block out the noise, block out 242 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 7: the distractions and focus on football, I think works to 243 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 7: his favor, to the Bear's favor, all that kind of stuff. 244 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: I think he can handle the pressure. As a result. 245 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 4: It's just going to be interesting if things don't get 246 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: off to a good start. 247 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. 248 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,239 Speaker 4: How that how he overcomes that adversity. 249 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean what they start with Titans text, they've 250 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: got a schedule to start ram so they can start 251 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: two and two before he really gets to division rival 252 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: week eleven, that the schedule hits hard, then he gets 253 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: hit hard. 254 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 7: That's the thing is you have and we talked about 255 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 7: this before the Bears schedule, you have the opportunity to 256 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 7: ease eight and two being. 257 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 5: A prop Then again, really good for Kayleab. 258 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: You don't need Caleb to be a world beater right away, 259 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 4: not only because of your schedule, but because of the 260 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 4: talent you have on your roster. 261 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 8: Yeah. 262 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 7: So if there are some bumps in the road, I 263 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 7: think they're gonna lose some games they should win. They'll 264 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 7: probably win some games that they should lose. But by 265 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 7: the time you hit Division play week eleven against the 266 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 7: Packers at home, oh my god. If Caleb Williams and 267 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 7: the Bears can beat the Packers at home week eleven, November. 268 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 5: Seventeen, and it went's the last time. 269 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: They haven't beat them in I think it's eight straight now. 270 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: Because it was like, yeah Rogers, like I own like that. 271 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, well then then and then Jordan and Bears 272 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 7: last year too, Yeah, so he can. I think it's 273 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 7: ten actually now because I think Rogers left it at 274 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 7: eight and then Jordan now added another two. So I 275 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 7: think that like it's it's been ten straight wins for 276 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 7: the Green Bay Packers if they're not mistaken. 277 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: You think you how you think they're going to finish 278 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 3: first second in the NFC North, I mean, yeah, no. 279 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 7: Bears, well no, no, no, lineup Bears are going to be 280 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 7: probably third. 281 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 5: Okay, so you're gonna go Lions pack Lions, and. 282 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 4: I don't know who's gonna win that. 283 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 8: Yeah. 284 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 7: And but here's the thing is, I don't think the 285 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 7: Vikings are going to be terrible. I think they're probably 286 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 7: it's very conceivable they get to seven to eight wins. 287 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 7: This is going to be a really tough division because 288 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 7: it's stacked. I mean stock seven wins last year. Yeah, 289 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 7: so I it's it's going like that's the the division games. 290 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 7: Being backloaded is going to be so interesting because it's 291 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 7: going to mean so much for the. 292 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: NFC North in particular. 293 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 3: Well, and people are going to like that's the part 294 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 3: of the season where majority of the guys are playing injured. 295 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: Everyone's going to be beat up. Yeah, everyone's going to 296 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: be beat up. There was another interesting take this week. 297 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: I heard from Mark Schlith talking about Caleb Williams and 298 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: generational talent doesn't mean generational quarterback. 299 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 9: Ticke listen, I see the talent, there's no question about 300 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 9: the talent, but generational talent doesn't mean generational quarterback. Joe 301 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 9: Montana didn't have generational talent. He's one of the best 302 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 9: quarterbacks you've ever seen. Tom Brady didn't have generational talent, 303 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 9: but he is the goat of all quarterbacks. Peyton Manning 304 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 9: didn't have generational talent, but he is great. Drew Brees 305 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 9: didn't have generational talent. He's going to the Hall of Fame. Like, 306 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 9: there's a big difference between generational talent and being a 307 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 9: you know, all pro great quarterback. 308 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 3: So then how does yeah, how does Caleb Williams be 309 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 3: kind of that guy that is a generational talent and 310 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: a generational quarterback? 311 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 4: Yeah? 312 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 7: This is again I couldn't agree more because you look 313 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: at Dustin Fields, who had so much talent, so much 314 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 7: has so much talent, Yeah, did not play it into 315 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 7: a quarterback. Because what separates the good from the great 316 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 7: quarterbacks isn't physical, it's mental because that position is so mental, 317 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 7: and you're the captain on the field and you're what 318 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 7: makes that engine go. So it's how fast can you 319 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 7: get through your reads? How good of decisions can you make? 320 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 7: That is what separates good quarterback play from great quarterback play, 321 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 7: And honestly, that comes with time and experience. You can 322 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 7: take the right steps and start your upward ascension. As 323 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 7: we saw with Jordan Love last year. But keep in mind, 324 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 7: Jordan Love had three years to digest this playbook before 325 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 7: he ever stepped on the field. So that's why when 326 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 7: you ask a quarterback to come in right away. 327 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: And behind one of the greatest during that time, Rogers, 328 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: you behind him during MVP seasons. 329 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 10: Yeah. 330 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, But that's why when you ask guys like Caleb 331 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 7: or like a quarterback to come in right away and 332 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 7: be their starter, you still need to give them grace 333 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 7: no matter how much talent there are around, because the 334 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 7: game needs to slow down for them. They need to 335 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 7: understand what they're looking at. NFL defenses are so much 336 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 7: more sophisticated than what they get in college. You cannot 337 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 7: beat people without right talent, and the NFL, everybody has talent. 338 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 7: That's why they're in the NFL. You have to figure 339 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 7: out how to make your mark, and you have to 340 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 7: figure out the mental side of the game. Break things down, 341 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 7: make good decisions, see the field, see what the defenses 342 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 7: are giving you, and figure out. 343 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 4: When to take those shots. 344 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, when to like audible and take stuff away from 345 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 7: you know, whatever the play call comes in. You need 346 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 7: to be able to recognize all of that. You can't 347 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 7: recognize all of that until you have experience against it. Yeah, 348 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 7: so that's why you know, things like people like CJ. 349 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 7: Stroud are such an outlier because they come in and 350 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 7: they're immediately But you also see some of these clips 351 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 7: we've seen surface. Yeah, you see how incredibly intelligent CJ. 352 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 7: Sports Stroud is and how well he can recognize defense. 353 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: Well and he just like he has such a respect 354 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: for the game and his teammates. That's what the opportunity 355 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: that he has. So you not only have to be 356 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: physically ready for this, but you have to be mentally 357 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: mature enough to know that you are the leader of 358 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 3: a billion dollar franchise and teams with all of the 359 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: pressure in the world on. 360 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 5: You as a young twenty year old. 361 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 7: Right, which is a very very hard ask and that's 362 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 7: why it takes a while usually, and we just need 363 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 7: to allow Caleb Williams some grace there. And I'm totally 364 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 7: with stink though, like just because you are a generational talent, 365 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 7: which I haven't used the word generational with Kayla Williams 366 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 7: at all. 367 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 4: I don't believe in using it. 368 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you've you've actually been strong with that, Like, 369 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 3: don't say that till we see it, right, Yeah. 370 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 7: Like the last prospect I think I ever used it 371 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 7: for like coming out before he played a snap of 372 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 7: NFL football, was Andrew Luck. 373 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 4: So this is we shouldn't get caught up in that. 374 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: Well, but everyone like I think he he was. He 375 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: panned out to be that, but then just like hung 376 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: it up, hung it up early. 377 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 7: Well, yeah he did, but I mean that doesn't discount 378 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 7: how good of a quarterback he was. He could have 379 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 7: kept playing forever. But I respect his you know, everybody 380 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 7: respects his decision. It's just that Kayler Williams is the 381 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 7: best prospect, yes, to come out in a while. Yes, 382 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 7: that does not necessarily translate until he gets experienced in 383 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 7: the NFL. I'm not comfortable calling him generational until he 384 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 7: takes some snaps, and I don't think there's anything wrong 385 00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 7: with that. 386 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 5: So Okay, there, there you go, both of our pressure picks. 387 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 5: We need to see. 388 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: Results because we haven't seen results yet.

This is the first 424 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: time Lebron and Curry have been on the same team. 425 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 7: I can't believe anybody ever thought it was a good 426 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 7: idea to just have amateurs play in the hy. 427 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 3: Like, oh my gosh, I the one play where it 428 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: was like Lebron to Curry to like lap up slammed. 429 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 5: It was just like it was beautiful. 430 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: I felt like we were watching a video game like 431 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 3: it straight up felt like it is watching a video. 432 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 4: Like building your own team on NBA twok. Like It's 433 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 4: just it was. 434 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 5: It was beautiful and we're going to get it. 435 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 3: Next game on FS one at twelve pm Eastern on Monday, 436 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 3: they're playing Australia. They just landed in Abu Dhabi yesterday. 437 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 3: Did you see the video of Steph Curry meeting a 438 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 3: falcon for the first time? 439 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 5: A bird? No, It's like Jojai. It was so cute. 440 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 5: It was it was so pure. It was so cute. 441 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 3: But the biggest news this week from Team USA was 442 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 3: Kawhi being sent home and Derek White being selected as 443 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 3: his replacement over his teammate Jalen Brown, who just won 444 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: Finals MVP, and Jalen Brown put up some cryptic tweets. 445 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: I was like, how do I describe this one. It's 446 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 3: like the curious serious face with the monocle emoji where 447 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: you're kind of like questioning, like. 448 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 5: Huh, why why? 449 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he did like three of those and then tweeted 450 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 3: at Nike, this what we're doing now. He's not a 451 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 3: Nike athlete, and Nike is a sponsor of Team USA, 452 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 3: So there was kind of a lot. 453 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 7: Of and it wasn't Nike's decision either. The grand Hill 454 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 7: came out, it was. 455 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 3: He said, you get twelve spots, you have to build 456 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: a team, and one of the hardest things is leaving 457 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: people off the roster that I'm a fan of and 458 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: I look forward to watching throughout the season, throughout the playoffs, 459 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 3: Guys who've been Finals MVPs. That was like, right for 460 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: Jalen Brown, Guys who have been a part of the program, 461 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: Guys who have won gold medals, Guys who I respect, 462 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 3: admire and enjoy watching. But the responsibility I have to 463 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 3: do is put together a team and a team that 464 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 3: compliments each other, a team that fits, a team that 465 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 3: will get us the best opportunity for success. So I 466 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 3: I don't know why wouldn't you at this point just 467 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: put the top players. 468 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 7: Think about it though, but like, what are we arguing? 469 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 7: Because even if Dalen Brown's on this roster, how many 470 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 7: minutes is he actually getting? Also, Derek White gives you 471 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 7: he's like a defensive Yeah, he's a defensive guy, and 472 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 7: you don't have that when you have this like team 473 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 7: full of superstars. You need to make sure that you 474 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 7: can throw your opponents off a little bit, and I 475 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 7: think Derek White can do that. Plus you already have 476 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 7: Jason Tatum, Devin Booker. I mean they are very similar 477 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 7: players to Jalen Brown. So like Jalen Brown would be redundant. 478 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 7: And at this point, Jalen Brown is a great player, 479 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 7: but does he have the longevity like he'll have a 480 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 7: chance to be on the Olympic team in four years, 481 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 7: Like he's still going to be in the league, he 482 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 7: should be still good. I just I agree with it 483 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 7: because Grant Hill and Tmosa is right where you do 484 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 7: need to build out a team. You can't just say, 485 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 7: all right, I need to like all the superstars assemble. 486 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 4: This isn't the Avengers. This is an end game. As 487 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 4: much as it. 488 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: Feels bring all the best players out the team, like 489 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 3: all these superstars, how many of these guys really play defense? 490 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 7: So who wants to play defense is more probably the 491 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 7: better question. So I understand it from that point of view. 492 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 7: And again I don't expect Derek White to get a 493 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 7: ton of minutes, just like I wouldn't have expected Jaylen 494 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 7: Brown to get a ton of minutes if he was 495 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 7: on the roster because there are so many superstars in 496 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 7: front of him, even guys that are of a very 497 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 7: similar play style as him. 498 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 5: It's just so crazy. 499 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: And the comparison this week is how does this team 500 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 3: compare to the Dream Team? I mean, the Dream Team 501 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: had eleven of their twelve players make it into the 502 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. Yeah, but this is this is pretty 503 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: darn close, Like, this is as close as we can get, 504 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: and it's a different style of game. 505 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 5: I think that they. 506 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 7: Honestly like there's like a nostalgic element to this everybody 507 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 7: where you're like like that Dream Team is so just 508 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 7: immortalized and untouchable in so many ways that like, I 509 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 7: don't think anybody would be able to really this goes. 510 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 5: That's like very similar to the like Michael Jordan Lebron 511 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 5: James compared. 512 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 4: That's all. 513 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, it is because you have the younger guys arguing like, oh, 514 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 7: those guys wouldn't last a minute in this year, in 515 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 7: today's NBA, and it is it is, and like. 516 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 4: We'll never know.

But now we start talking about the idea. 662 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 10: Of how is the bonus structured, when is it paid out? 663 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 6: All of those things that were in the margins. 664 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 10: Whereas before players that were coming into the draft, they 665 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 10: wanted their money, they wanted to get close to the 666 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 10: game check, they wanted their bonus. Caleb is the first 667 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 10: quarterback really to come in as a millionaire, you know 668 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 10: that has that his own money. I guess you could 669 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 10: probably make an argument for Eli Manning coming in because 670 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 10: of his family is different. 671 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 3: He has like he earned like this nil money in 672 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: business deals. 673 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly, So he's got his own money and I 674 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 10: think that he's been a disruptor to the process already, 675 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 10: and I mean that in the best possible way. He 676 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 10: is like, Hey, I'm not doing all this dumb stuff 677 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 10: that you guys have other people do. Everyone knows I'm 678 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 10: going to be the top tick, so I'm only talking 679 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 10: to teams that could possibly be the. 680 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 6: Top pick in the draft. 681 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 10: So I don't think that there's a reason to worry. 682 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 6: I think there is a reason to go all right, because. 683 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 10: The clock is ticking, and now that everyone here is 684 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 10: is kind of come down from their Fourth of July 685 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 10: celebrations and at least until this afternoon, thinking that the 686 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 10: Cubs might be good again. 687 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 3: They all right, Lawrence, let's all assume that he signs 688 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: his rookie contract. 689 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 5: All is good. 690 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 3: What would be considered a successful first season for Caleble Lambs. 691 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 4: And the Bears. 692 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 10: I've been going back and forth about this, olex and 693 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 10: tell you the truth, and Karen and I had a 694 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 10: discussion a few weeks. 695 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 6: Ago about it. 696 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 10: If you look at the number on fan duel for 697 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 10: like over under yards for him, it's like thirty four sixty. 698 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 6: Or something like that. That would be the fourth best 699 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 6: quarterback year. 700 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so so. 701 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 10: Look, even if he's anywhere around that, I think that 702 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 10: it's a success. And then the question becomes, how did 703 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 10: he look? Is he getting better as this season goes on? 704 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 10: And and to me, when you start looking at the 705 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 10: precedent of rookie quarterbacks putting up those type of numbers, yeah, 706 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 10: there's precedent for it, but there there isn't a ton 707 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 10: of history of it. 708 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 6: And plus there's still stuff that he gets to know. 709 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 6: I thought it was interesting that before the Bears broke, 710 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 6: one of the. 711 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 10: Things that he talked about and one of the things 712 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 10: that the coaches talked about, was him making the adjustment 713 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 10: from a clap cadence to a voice cadence. And I 714 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 10: don't I don't think that that's insignificant. 715 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 6: And I know that he did it in high school. 716 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 6: But there's a lot of stuff that he's going to 717 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 6: have to learn. 718 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 10: And I know that Karma's been on this with all 719 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 10: of the reporting that she's done on Shane Waldron that 720 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 10: I think he's a good I think he's got a 721 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 10: really good coach is going to help him walk through it. 722 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 10: But that's just something that you need reps. So him 723 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 10: getting ready in practice and him playing three or four 724 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 10: snaps in the Hall of Fame game. All of that 725 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 10: stuff is to help it so that when he gets 726 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 10: going in the regular season that there are less potholes 727 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 10: for him to run into. 728 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing about being a rookie 729 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 4: quarterback period is yes, like the college game at first 730 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 4: glance looks a lot like the NFL game, But there 731 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 4: are so many little things, especially when it comes to 732 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 4: quarterback play, that are completely different that make guys like CJ. 733 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 7: Stroud just to complete anomaly because usually it just takes 734 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 7: a little bit of time to get acclimated to that. 735 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 7: But Lawrence, one thing that I think is going under 736 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 7: talked about is, all right, you have Caleb coming in. 737 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 7: Obviously that's going to overshadow all of the narrative and 738 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 7: the headlines. But we talk about all the talent on 739 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 7: this team, and you say, okay, well, honestly, with this talent, 740 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 7: maybe we don't need the quarterback to be a world beater. 741 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 7: But part of that is, especially on the defensive side 742 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 7: of the ball, then picking up where they left off 743 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 7: at the end of last season. There is a tremendous 744 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 7: amount of pressure in my opinion on this bears defense 745 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 7: to be a top five unit this year to insulate 746 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 7: against any of these growing pains. And do we think, 747 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 7: especially with that into your rotation on the defensive line, 748 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 7: that they're up to this. 749 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 10: It's so interesting that you say that because Montez Sweat 750 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 10: comes in, he gets six facts, he ends up leading 751 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 10: the team. In fact, even though he wasn't there the 752 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 10: whole year. I don't think that they did enough to 753 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 10: help augment Montese Sweat. One of my biggest frustrations in 754 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 10: someone who covers the Bears is that, and you know 755 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 10: Carmon knows is Alex you don't. 756 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 6: I'm old. 757 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm so old. 758 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 10: I'm so old that I covered Lovey Smith's teams. Love 759 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 10: Smith's defense was predicated covered two and I know that 760 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 10: the most important factor, most important position on that defense 761 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 10: is a three. 762 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 4: Tacks, a three tech yep. 763 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 10: And for the last three years, Matt Everflace has had 764 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 10: to not have one of those guys. You need a 765 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 10: butt kicking three technique to jump off your defense. And 766 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 10: I also have questions about who's playing on the opposite 767 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 10: side of Montez Sweat so they're better when they were 768 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 10: clearly better with Sweat. They were clearly better with Ebraflus 769 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 10: called them the defense last year, but I do think 770 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 10: that there's still a personnel issue in the front part 771 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 10: of the defense. 772 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 6: I think their linebacking corps is great. 773 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 10: Ye I love their back four slash back five, but 774 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 10: those guys can't do their job and the guys up 775 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 10: front don't get after the. 776 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 4: Quarterback, especially from that interier. 777 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 3: Well, I'm excited for this behind the scenes look during 778 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 3: hard knocks and bears and everything is going to be great. 779 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 5: Lawrence. 780 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us and giving us 781 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 3: all that inside info. 782 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 6: Oh whenever you guys need it.

He's doing it his way. 980 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 3: He's saying all the right things. 981 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, we said this before too, where like any second 982 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 7: round pick is you're just taking a chance on a guy. 983 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all that ever is. 984 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 3: It's ALLID is, And it's not that big of a deal. 985 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,439 Speaker 3: Like right, it's not get over it, everybody, I thought. 986 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 7: Actually, what was more interesting for him that JJ interview 987 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 7: was he kind of took a shot at Darvin Ham. 988 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 4: Did you hear that? 989 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 7: No, he said, one of the last thing, uh, one 990 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 7: of the last of course, it just went away. He 991 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 7: was talking about how the Lakers played a lot like 992 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 7: very random last year and how they play better in sets. 993 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 7: They played better in offensive sets, so like they need 994 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 7: a plan and too often last year they were playing 995 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 7: more random and outside of these sets. And I was like, 996 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 7: he said the sets had a much higher efficiency. So 997 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 7: whether or not that was intentional to kind of take 998 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 7: a shot a Darnham. 999 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, Yeah, we're gonna get a lot of good 1000 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,959 Speaker 3: quotable moments from Joe. 1001 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 7: Well, he bad caster, so like, I mean, that's this 1002 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 7: is the benefit of having a coach that knows how 1003 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 7: to play the game. 1004 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 5: It is beautiful. I am so excited. 1005 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 3: Okay, but let's switch to the NFL and a team 1006 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 3: that hasn't made many great headlines this offseason, The Cowboys. 1007 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 3: Jerry Jones came into the off season saying they were 1008 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 3: gonna make all the moves, right, this was gonna be 1009 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 3: like all in this year. Well, yeah, they still have 1010 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 3: a lot of big question marks. DAK contract, CD LAMB, 1011 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 3: possible holdout. Michael Parsons will be a domino effect with 1012 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 3: whatever happens with DAK and CD oh and Mike McCarthy 1013 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 3: also playing for his contract for his season coaching for Yeah, 1014 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 3: let's start with the DAK contract, Okay, and Let's be clear, 1015 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 3: Dak has all of the leverage. 1016 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,280 Speaker 4: Roachrade clause, no tag clause. 1017 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 3: He finished second in MVP voting most passing touchdown second 1018 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 3: and passer rating third and passing yards and runner up 1019 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 3: to the MVP yeah second and MVP voting yeah yeah. 1020 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 3: So that in case you need reminding, quarterbacks are the 1021 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 3: most important position on these billion dollar franchise, so at 1022 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 3: some point you're going to have to pay your guy. 1023 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 5: Now, it was rumored that Dak. 1024 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 3: Wanted somewhere around like sixty million a year, which is 1025 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 3: a big jump from the fifty five mill being the 1026 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 3: top right now, where you like, you're going to have 1027 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 3: to pay your quarterback and you are the richest franchise 1028 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 3: in the world, Dallas Cowboys the richest. And when you 1029 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 3: look at the highest paid quarterbacks per year right now, 1030 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 3: tie it first Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow at fifty five, 1031 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 3: Jared Goff third with fifty three, Herbert fourth at fifty 1032 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 3: two point five million, Lamar Jackson at five fifty two million, 1033 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts fifty one million at six and fun fact, 1034 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 3: none of these top six quarterbacks have won a Super Bowl. 1035 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,800 Speaker 3: Three of them have made it to a Super Bowl 1036 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 3: and lost Burrow goff. 1037 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 5: It hurts. 1038 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 4: So yeah, you can already Dak has sniffed a Super 1039 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 4: Bowl either. 1040 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 5: But hasn't. 1041 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:09,280 Speaker 3: But but when you compare Dak and mahomes last sixty 1042 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 3: regular season starts, it's pretty darn good and it is 1043 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 3: almost identical. 1044 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just I'm on the little bit of the 1045 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 5: Dak hype train right now. 1046 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 7: Okay, I realize that the stats say there, but there's 1047 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 7: there's Yeah, it's it's that's a hard thing for me 1048 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:26,800 Speaker 7: to get behind because it's. 1049 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:27,919 Speaker 5: So easily regular. 1050 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 7: Obviously regular, Patrick Mahomes is one of one is the 1051 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 7: regular season. I'm here to tell you, though, that the 1052 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 7: Cowboys pitfalls in the postseason. 1053 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,240 Speaker 4: How's that for alliteration? 1054 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 2: Uh? 1055 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 4: Lie more with the front office than they do with Dak. 1056 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 3: Pascott attack, let's go. I mean, Dak is what two 1057 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 3: and five in the playoffs? 1058 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 4: Look, Show me all. 1059 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 7: These quarterbacks other than Patrick Mahomes that have these wonderful 1060 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 7: playoff records, even like they like, the best most guys 1061 00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,439 Speaker 7: do is five hundred in the playoffs. So here's the thing, 1062 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 7: and everybody will tell you this, the postseason is a 1063 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 7: completely different season. Once you get there and the margin 1064 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 7: for error is that much smaller. Dak doesn't magically I mean, 1065 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 7: his last game against the Packers was probably his worst 1066 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 7: playoff game, and I'm here to acknowledge that. I understand, 1067 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 7: but Dak doesn't magically get horrible once the postseason starts. 1068 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,240 Speaker 7: It's that the margin for error is so much smaller 1069 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 7: and he does not, from a skill position standpoint, have 1070 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 7: the help he needs. Look at what Dallas Cowboys have 1071 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 7: as far as weapons goes. He has Ceedee Lamb, who yes, 1072 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 7: is a wonderful receiver. Who else is the defense afraid 1073 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 7: of on that Dallas Cowboys roster? I like Jake Ferguson 1074 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 7: as a tight end. They have one of the weakest 1075 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 7: running back rooms going into this season. Who is your 1076 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 7: number two? Brandon Cooks was supposed to be that for 1077 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 7: you last year did not live up to that whatsoever. 1078 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 7: Just in the NFC alone, there are so many offensive corps. 1079 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 7: I am taking before the Dallas Cowboys, Eagles, Niners, Bears, Vikings, Lions. 1080 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 7: I'm taking the entire NFC North, especially the Packers who beat. 1081 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 4: Them in the playoffs. 1082 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 7: Be due to the sheer amount of options available to 1083 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 7: Jordan love the. 1084 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 4: Defense didn't know who to defend. 1085 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, So how it contrasts that with all right, I'm 1086 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 7: a defense, I'm going against the das Cowboys. 1087 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 4: Who do I have to look out for? Ceedee lamb? 1088 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 4: That is it. So when it comes to the playoffs, 1089 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 4: that's not gonna fly. 1090 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 5: So then should Dak stay with the Cowboys? 1091 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 4: I hope he doesn't. 1092 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 7: I hope he's smart enough to understand that these Cowboys. 1093 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 7: The Cowboys fro An office has only subtracted in the 1094 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 7: last few years for Dak. They've got rid of Amari Cooper. Yeah, 1095 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 7: like their offensive line. Everybody wants to talk about all 1096 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 7: the Pro Bowlers that the Cowboys have, and I agree 1097 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 7: they do. They have like seven or eight of them. 1098 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 7: A lot of those are on defense. Dak Prescott is 1099 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 7: one of them. Are all pros, actually nine Pro Bowls. 1100 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott is one of them. You have two guys 1101 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 7: on your offensive line that are all Pros. But guess 1102 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 7: what your offensive line is only as good? What does 1103 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 7: this weak's link? You have Zach Martin Tyler Smith. 1104 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,839 Speaker 4: That's great. You have a rookie starting at both left 1105 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,879 Speaker 4: tackle and center. This year. So, like, the offensive line 1106 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 4: is not these Dallas. 1107 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 7: Offensive lines of old, what like Dak Prescott could get 1108 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 7: could have his pick of the litter. 1109 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 4: If he hits the open market, he is going to 1110 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 4: have a bidding war. 1111 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 5: Okay, where do you see him fitting in? Then? 1112 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 3: If it's not in Dallas, where could you see him 1113 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 3: a good landing spot for him? 1114 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 7: I mean it's going to depend on a lot for 1115 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 7: some of these teams that don't have quarterbacks this year 1116 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 7: or may not have quarterbacks next year. Yeah, I mean, 1117 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 7: like roughly a quarter of the league changes over when 1118 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 7: it comes to their quarterbacks and their head coaches for 1119 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 7: that matter, every off season. So you don't know necessarily 1120 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 7: where that's going to materialize. But like, God, could you 1121 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 7: imagine like half first of all, like half the league 1122 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,720 Speaker 7: runs this Shanahan McVay system. 1123 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 5: Uh huh. 1124 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 4: I would love to see Dak Prescott in a system 1125 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 4: like that, with a bunch of windows dressing and a 1126 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 4: bunch of weapons and all this other stuff. Could you 1127 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 4: imagine him having all of that at his disposal? 1128 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 7: Because Dak is one of the best distributors of the 1129 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 7: football of anybody, and he's one of the most reliable. 1130 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 7: And again it's just the fact that when the postseason 1131 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,280 Speaker 7: comes around the margin for Eric, it's that much smaller. 1132 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 7: But if you have options, you can lean on a 1133 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 7: bunch of different guys, and I would trust Dak Prescott 1134 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 7: to do that even you know, despite what we saw 1135 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 7: again it's the. 1136 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 4: Green Bay backers. 1137 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's tough because it's like you're only 1138 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 3: as good as your last game. And also, if HW 1139 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 3: is a horrible way to end the year, if you're Dallas, 1140 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 3: what's your contingency plan? You don't know what Trey Lance 1141 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 3: is going to be. Like the fact that trying to. 1142 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 7: Luck into or fall backwards into another franchise quarterback like 1143 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,800 Speaker 7: you did with Dak, like you did with Tony Romo 1144 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 7: in Trey Lance, that's that's too much luck, even for 1145 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 7: the Dallas Cowboys. 1146 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, do you think he's going to be 1147 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 5: a Cowboy next season? 1148 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 4: Like I said, I hope not. 1149 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 7: I really, I really hope not, because I think that 1150 00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 7: we could see Dak's full potential elsewhere. Okay, the Cowboys 1151 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 7: spent nothing, virtually nothing, I think fifteen million in free 1152 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 7: agency this year. 1153 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,799 Speaker 5: Nothing well, and going into the off season saying we're 1154 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:07,880 Speaker 5: all in No. 1155 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,720 Speaker 4: That's flip service. Nothing that's all lip service. 1156 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 7: And by the way, do you know why Dak has 1157 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 7: a no trade no tag claws? Tell me because the 1158 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 7: Cowboys wait to the last minute to get all of 1159 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 7: this done so that you do get backed up with 1160 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,800 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott. Ceedee lamb Micah Parsons all need to be 1161 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 7: paid within a year yep, because like it, and somehow 1162 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 7: their players kind of bail them out of this. But 1163 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 7: it's just it's poor management, That's what it comes down to. 1164 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 7: And so I put a lot more of the onus 1165 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 7: on the front office for Dallas's playoff woes, yeah, than 1166 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 7: I ever would for Dak Prescott. 1167 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 4: And the only way for people, I think. 1168 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 7: To see that is if Dak Prescott goes somewhere else 1169 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 7: and is extremely successful. 1170 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,799 Speaker 4: So I want it. I want it. No, Dak, don't 1171 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 4: go back to Dallas. 1172 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,760 Speaker 3: I mean, but like, okay, so what are you hearing? 1173 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:55,240 Speaker 3: Obviously like you you're you've got some insider like Dallas 1174 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,399 Speaker 3: cowboy information. Are they going to get a contract done 1175 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 3: before the start of the season. Do you see that happening? 1176 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 3: I thin Dallas is going to try. Dallas is going 1177 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 3: to try only if he they hit that sixty million 1178 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 3: A year number that he wants. That's the only way 1179 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 3: he's excused. 1180 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 7: Like why otherwise, Like if you know that you can 1181 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 7: get to the open market and get sixty million year, Yeah, 1182 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 7: what is your insignive otherwise? Again, like the Dallas cannot 1183 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 7: trade you, No, they cannot, Like so you can't go 1184 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,879 Speaker 7: at like you have all the leverage if you're actually. 1185 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 5: Say they didn't want to they didn't want to reset 1186 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 5: the market. 1187 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, of course they did because they can't because they 1188 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 7: have to pay Cede Lamb and make a Parson's on 1189 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 7: top of that. But if a deal doesn't get done 1190 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,720 Speaker 7: during training camp, Yeah, I think Dak Prescott. 1191 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 5: Has gone interesting. 1192 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 4: Interesting. 1193 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,279 Speaker 3: It's going to be such an interesting year for the Cowboys. 1194 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 4: It always is. They are the kings of the drama. 1195 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 3: It's speaking of drama again. They've just been in the 1196 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 3: news for like, not all the right reasons this offseason. 1197 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,839 Speaker 4: On purpose, any news, any anyprs And. 1198 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 3: I need a moment you guys for the Dallas Cowboys 1199 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 3: cheerleaders documentary The dec America's Sweetheart. First of all, very 1200 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 3: well done Netflix. I binge this in a day, but 1201 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 3: I was also shook at how much and what they 1202 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 3: showed I was never a part of dance culture. 1203 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 5: I know you were. You were a dancer. 1204 00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 4: I grew up yep as a dancer. 1205 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 5: But the way they pick apart these women is hard 1206 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 5: to watch. 1207 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 7: That was that's your reality as a dancer. That's why, girl. 1208 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 7: But I don't wonder why I have body images. 1209 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 5: Yes, no, no, not at all, Like every single you're. 1210 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 7: Literally I mean from fittings and everything. I just have 1211 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 7: very vivid memories of being in a room with everybody, 1212 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,360 Speaker 7: and I developed earlier than most where they take the 1213 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 7: measuring tape, oh, measuring everything and they're saying, oh, I 1214 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 7: guess you're gonna. 1215 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 4: Have to be a large, sweetheart. 1216 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 7: And it's like, I'm a fourteen year old that just 1217 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 7: happens to have grown into something and now I'm made 1218 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 7: to feel like. 1219 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:51,320 Speaker 4: I'm a leper. 1220 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 3: So that wasn't even the gnarliest part of all of this. 1221 00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 3: The biggest shock was hearing a billionaire explain why they 1222 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 3: pay these athletes because they are athletes, so little Charlotte Jones, 1223 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 3: Jerry Jones's daughter, Yeah, felt very proud. How about this 1224 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 3: answer she gave, But she said there's a lot of 1225 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 3: cynicism around pay for NFL cheerleaders as there should be. 1226 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 5: They're not paid a lot. 1227 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 3: Honestly, you guys, that quote should have ended right there, yes, 1228 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 3: and she should have said, we'ren't changing that. Yes, No, 1229 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 3: But she goes on to say, but the facts are, 1230 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 3: they actually don't come here for the money. They come 1231 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 3: here for something that's actually bigger than they're toxic. So 1232 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,719 Speaker 3: do they have a passion for dance. There's not a 1233 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 3: lot of opportunities in the field of dance, so change 1234 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 3: that to get to perform at an elite level. It's 1235 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 3: about being a part of something bigger than themselves. It's 1236 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 3: about a sisterhood that they were able to form, about 1237 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 3: relationships that they have for the rest of their lives. 1238 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,799 Speaker 5: They have a chance to feel like they're valued. No 1239 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:53,280 Speaker 5: they don't. 1240 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 7: You're not paying them. Also, they have to retry out 1241 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,200 Speaker 7: every single year. 1242 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,839 Speaker 4: They don't feel value and. 1243 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 3: That there's something special making a difference. When the women 1244 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 3: come here, they find their passion and find their purpose. 1245 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 7: What it's so toxic, Alex, what like the gas lighting 1246 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 7: of the thing. Even when I worked with the Buccaneers, 1247 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 7: the Buccaneers cheerleaders made fifty dollars a game like She. 1248 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 5: Also shared that they make millions of dollars off. 1249 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,720 Speaker 7: Of the I know, like how they wanted to change 1250 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders who are their own entities, separate from 1251 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 7: the cowboys, into a money making revenue stream and they 1252 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 7: did Cowboys organization and they did and they did that, 1253 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 7: and that does not materialize into anything for these girls. 1254 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 3: That is like, these women are working full time jobs, 1255 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 3: full time jobs and also nurses. Withthodonnis, you are like marketing. 1256 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 7: Well rounded to even make this team because like, and 1257 00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,919 Speaker 7: I don't think that they give enough credence to how 1258 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 7: good of athletes they are, they are, how good of. 1259 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,919 Speaker 5: Dancers they are.

Yes, 1315 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 7: I need like I need that context because. 1316 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 5: That seems that's insane. 1317 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 3: But she has two hundred and thirty two points scored 1318 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 3: or assisted in her last five games. That is the 1319 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 3: most in w NBA history through five games, Yes, the most. 1320 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 3: And she kind of came out after the game and 1321 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 3: spoke and said she's trying to pass and set up 1322 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 3: her teammates so much that she's almost losing sight of 1323 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 3: the basket sometimes and forgetting to shoot, which is crazy 1324 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 3: that she's still involved and hitting all of these records. 1325 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 3: With that being said, and then you have Angel Reese, 1326 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 3: who made WNBA history when she recorded her fifteenth consecutive 1327 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 3: double double. 1328 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 5: That streak ended, but that was nearly seventy percent of 1329 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 5: her game. 1330 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 7: She is leading the league in rebounds. And these girls 1331 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 7: are ten and eleven inefficiency rating in the entire league 1332 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 7: right now. 1333 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 5: I mean, they are the future. 1334 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 3: They are living up to all of the hype and 1335 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 3: Caitlin versus Reese, however. 1336 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 5: You want to look at it is great for the league. 1337 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 3: Colin actually made a really good comparison on The Herd 1338 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,919 Speaker 3: this week, and I kind of loved it. He said, 1339 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 3: it's one of the closer things we've had to the 1340 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 3: Magic and Bird rival revives because it started in college, 1341 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 3: it continued into the league. One run Wookie of the Year, 1342 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 3: one won the Chip and it went back and forth 1343 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 3: for years and for us in the league, I hope 1344 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 3: that they have a similar path to that. 1345 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 4: Rivalries are good for any league. They're great for any league. 1346 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,440 Speaker 4: And I had the same thought about I think many 1347 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 4: people have had the same part about Angel Rees and 1348 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark being the next Magic and Bird. But think 1349 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 4: about what that rivalry then meant to the w or 1350 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 4: to the NBA in the eighties. They completely revived the league. 1351 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,800 Speaker 4: It resulted in more money for players, It redefined certain 1352 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 4: roles on the court. Like they they made the NBA 1353 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 4: more entertaining, which broadened the audience for the NBA and 1354 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 4: made it to what we now know today. What have 1355 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 4: Angel Reese and Kaitlyn Clark done exact exactly that you know, 1356 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,320 Speaker 4: the girls are flying on chartered planes for their first time, 1357 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 4: for the first time, which is insane. 1358 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 5: Selling out arenas reaction televised games. 1359 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 7: Think about the tunnel fashion runways now that we have 1360 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 7: and it's like those, but those are being posted on GQ, 1361 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 7: They're being posted on mainstream sites where they were kind 1362 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 7: of like niche before that that fashion. And honestly, Angel 1363 01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 7: Rees was right when she talked about this earlier this 1364 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 7: season at the beginning of the season when she said, 1365 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 7: people are going to look back on this time and 1366 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,439 Speaker 7: they're going to have her to thing for it too. 1367 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 7: And I also want to make sure that I'm going 1368 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 7: to say this again, this all doesn't happen if there 1369 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 7: already isn't a good product in place. Angel Rees and 1370 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 7: Caitlin Clark had brought eyeballs. Those eyeballs do not stay 1371 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 7: unless there is something entertaining already there, and that is 1372 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 7: what these women have been doing for so long. And 1373 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 7: I'm so excited you know that this is being brought 1374 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 7: into the mainstream.

I'm so excited 1470 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 8: to be on for the first time. 1471 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, we love it. 1472 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 3: Let's get started with Brownie James because he got his 1473 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,439 Speaker 3: first NBA action in Summer League last night, and yeah, 1474 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 3: a little underwhelming. Politely put it, what do you think 1475 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,680 Speaker 3: are realistic expectations for Brownie in the league. 1476 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,800 Speaker 8: I had some time to really think about this and 1477 01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 8: and you know, I think what we have to consider 1478 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 8: is that, you know, this guy, he's still nineteen years old, 1479 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 8: so there's a lot of development and I think you 1480 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 8: know that that can come over this time and especially 1481 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 8: you know, in his early informative years. I'm sure you 1482 01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,440 Speaker 8: know the clem's in a pedigree that he does and 1483 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 8: having to deal with the pressures is not an easy feat. 1484 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,240 Speaker 8: But when I think about some of the types of 1485 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,960 Speaker 8: players that I could liken him to, I'd say, like, 1486 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 8: because he has the defensive prowess and it's more of 1487 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 8: like a role player, like a Bruce Brown or a 1488 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,600 Speaker 8: Lou Dorts. You know, some of these guys that may 1489 01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,880 Speaker 8: not be the number one on their team, but they 1490 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 8: contribute well to the team. They you know, are known 1491 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 8: for their defensive prowess and you know, who knows he 1492 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 8: might have a shot that develops and comes but early 1493 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 8: on to see him go I believe it was oh 1494 01:07:54,240 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 8: for twelve and the California Classic. Yeah, you know, I 1495 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,000 Speaker 8: don't think that that's really like, yeah, that's The flashes 1496 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 8: I've seen on the defensive end are far more promising 1497 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 8: in that sense. 1498 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 6: I guess you. 1499 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,400 Speaker 7: Could say, yeah, I just I think that, you know, 1500 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,560 Speaker 7: he comes in obviously with these expectations because his father, 1501 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 7: at one point or another was the greatest basketball player 1502 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 7: in the league. Is he up there, has this longevity obviously, 1503 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 7: wouldn't be there if you couldn't. 1504 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 4: You know, they're they're gonna play together. But what is 1505 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 4: success then for Brownie James after all of this development? Like, 1506 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 4: what is his ceiling? Is his ceiling his dad? 1507 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 8: No? Okay, well, yeah, I know, right right, Like. 1508 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 5: Putting it that way, you're like, oh god, yeah, oh 1509 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 5: the pressure. 1510 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:48,639 Speaker 8: No, yeah, that's I think that's unrealistic, you know, to 1511 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,160 Speaker 8: say that he's going to be like his dad, even 1512 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 8: up to this point, especially considering even the health scare 1513 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 8: that he had, you know, to start the season last 1514 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 8: year was at USC Yes, I mean that's a serious, 1515 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 8: you know, hard event and something to consider. You know. 1516 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 8: I think about people like Chris Bosh who had to 1517 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,080 Speaker 8: you know, retire early as a result of you know, 1518 01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 8: a similar condition, and so who knows, you know, in 1519 01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 8: terms of health, how long he'll be in the league 1520 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 8: and things of that nature. You know, not wishing wishing 1521 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,559 Speaker 8: the best for that, but I think in terms of 1522 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 8: his feeling, uh, it's really, in my opinion, too early 1523 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 8: to say, like we'll see this is obviously just the 1524 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 8: summer league, and you know, let's say it's a learning curve. 1525 01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,720 Speaker 8: I think, you know, and just just again and just 1526 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,759 Speaker 8: think he didn't even play a full season with USC, 1527 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 8: so for him to get his kind of sea legs 1528 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,479 Speaker 8: and there is felt lack of a better term, even 1529 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 8: though it's so hot out here, I don't know why 1530 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:52,560 Speaker 8: we use that. I think, uh, when and spending a 1531 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 8: little bit of time in the G league, you know, 1532 01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,920 Speaker 8: just to get a sense like his welcome to the 1533 01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 8: to the NBA for real, you know, those kind of 1534 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 8: moments that I think it'll be a better sense of 1535 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,640 Speaker 8: you know, at that time we can evaluate really what 1536 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 8: his true ceiling is. But I do see him being like, 1537 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,519 Speaker 8: you know, a solid role player, you know. I think 1538 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,920 Speaker 8: of like an Austin Rivers who spent you know a 1539 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,000 Speaker 8: lot of time in the league, but you know, his 1540 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,880 Speaker 8: dad had some degree, you know, and you know he 1541 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 8: spent time. In difference, I don't think Brianni will be 1542 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,160 Speaker 8: a Laker for life. You know, will Lebron retire so 1543 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,720 Speaker 8: you know, maybe move on to other teams. So so 1544 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,760 Speaker 8: that's what I'm seeing as his kind of steiling is 1545 01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 8: a long term career, potentially borrowing any health scares or 1546 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,320 Speaker 8: or you know, issues, further issues there. But you know, 1547 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 8: but but also there's not there's no way he's going 1548 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 8: to be you know, Lebron. You know, there's there's that's 1549 01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 8: just unrealistic. 1550 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, Aaron. 1551 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 3: Now on the other side of the Lakers first round pick, 1552 01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 3: don't connect look NBA ready last night? 1553 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,400 Speaker 5: What kind of impact will he have on this Lakers team? 1554 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 8: Well, I think you know, what do it call him 1555 01:10:58,160 --> 01:10:58,640 Speaker 8: connect for? 1556 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:00,640 Speaker 5: Yeah? I love it. 1557 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 7: I love that such a good like he has such 1558 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 7: a good name for nicknames yea. 1559 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think he's connecting on all cylinders. 1560 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, we see what he did there. 1561 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:17,160 Speaker 5: Here for all the time. 1562 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely. But I think one of the things that 1563 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,479 Speaker 8: stood out to me is just his his his IQ 1564 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:29,200 Speaker 8: was much higher than I expected. I West Conference Lay 1565 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 8: of the Year for his school and things. So I 1566 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 8: understand that, you know, he and there was a lot 1567 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 8: of talk about how you know successful he is on 1568 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 8: the offensive side, that he you know, can create his 1569 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 8: own shop, that he can you know, when they start 1570 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,679 Speaker 8: to play with Lebron and ad that, you know, they'll 1571 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,320 Speaker 8: see spurts of him really being able to open the 1572 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,240 Speaker 8: floor for them on the offensive side and as an 1573 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 8: additional threat there. 1574 01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 6: But I was a surprise. 1575 01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 8: I'm like, okay too. And the first i think it 1576 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 8: was the first chore, like really, you know, coming out 1577 01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:04,760 Speaker 8: swinging and first, especially for this to. 1578 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:05,760 Speaker 10: Be his first Summer League. 1579 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 8: Oftentimes, even like some previous players that have done really well, 1580 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 8: like the Max Prestias and you know Maxwell Lewis who 1581 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,040 Speaker 8: is on the team with him and calling Castleton, it 1582 01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:16,680 Speaker 8: takes him a little bit of time to just but 1583 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 8: you know, he was like, I got this, you know, 1584 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 8: so I'm really excited to see, you know, how he 1585 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 8: shapes up, how he fits into the team. I think 1586 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 8: obviously coaching is a big question mark. They're in something 1587 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 8: just like the Dynamics and with J. J. Reddick being 1588 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 8: a first year head coach and bringing in a whole 1589 01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 8: new staff, but looking forward to seeing how they developed 1590 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 8: him as well as Brownie. And it seems like that 1591 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,240 Speaker 8: at least from the press conference to the introductory press 1592 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,720 Speaker 8: conference that they had before Summer League started, and they're 1593 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,519 Speaker 8: both extremely mature and ready for the moment at least 1594 01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 8: like mentally, so you know, sometimes that's that's part of 1595 01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:57,920 Speaker 8: the battle as well. 1596 01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, And speaking of the new coach, JJ Reddick we 1597 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,160 Speaker 7: played the sound earlier, calls himself a sicko, calls himself 1598 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:10,519 Speaker 7: a massacist. Uh, how much of his imprint is actually 1599 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 7: going to be on this team and how much of 1600 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,400 Speaker 7: this is really Lebron pulling the strings in what could 1601 01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 7: be one of his last years in the league. 1602 01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,760 Speaker 8: This sounds like a rhetorical question to me, But. 1603 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,679 Speaker 4: I wasn't anything there. I don't know what you're talking about. 1604 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:31,240 Speaker 8: Lauren, but but you know, to be politically correct, I say, 1605 01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 8: you know, it's going to be a balance like with 1606 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,040 Speaker 8: all of the teams that Lebron has been on, and 1607 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:44,600 Speaker 8: you know, obviously he has a third reputation for you know, 1608 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 8: going through many coaches over his ten years, the various 1609 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,440 Speaker 8: stuffs that he's made, whether it's uh, you know, Cleveland 1610 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:57,280 Speaker 8: or Miami or even Los Angeles. So I think with 1611 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:04,160 Speaker 8: that being said, good us to JJ getting hate and 1612 01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 8: introduced to the you know, bigger circus that is the Lakers. VI. 1613 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 8: You know, I one of the things that I think 1614 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 8: it was an extremely smart move for him is to 1615 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 8: build his staff out with excuse me, assistant coaches and 1616 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:25,760 Speaker 8: to have the pedigree that that are winning coaches, you know, 1617 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 8: and the head coach that have been winning head coaches 1618 01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 8: in this league and dealt with, you know, high profile stars. 1619 01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,519 Speaker 8: I think that that was extremely poignant and smart on 1620 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:40,120 Speaker 8: his on his part. But dynamics are going to be interesting. Obviously, 1621 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 8: Lebron is the coach, the d M, the vocal leader. Yeah, 1622 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 8: he's a player coach and you know so I think 1623 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 8: that this is a great way for him to kind of, 1624 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:56,559 Speaker 8: you know, not have to do so much vocally, to 1625 01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,120 Speaker 8: just tell JJ you know, because they have that dynamic 1626 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 8: and relationship. Might do a pod afterwards breaking down all 1627 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:03,320 Speaker 8: the players. 1628 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 5: They should do that. 1629 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 4: Oh my god, I should do that. 1630 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,760 Speaker 7: But can you imagine like when Lebron recovers and then 1631 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 7: like they're like at that point, I don't know if 1632 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 7: JJ Redix Gold are still going to be coaching.

Just to give you, guys. 1674 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,879 Speaker 3: If you're not familiar with Steve Gleeson and his story, 1675 01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,960 Speaker 3: here's a little background. He was a defensive back who 1676 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 3: went undrafted in two thousand, ended up signing with the 1677 01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 3: Colts as a free agent before eventually signing with the 1678 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,840 Speaker 3: Saints practice squad. And on September twenty fifth, two thousand 1679 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 3: and six, the night that the rebuilt Superdome hosted an 1680 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 3: NFL game for the first time since Hurricane Katrina, Gleeson 1681 01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:17,839 Speaker 3: famously blocked the ball off the foot of the Atlanta 1682 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 3: punter and into the end zone for a Saints touchdown, 1683 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 3: and in twenty twelve, the Saints mounted a nine foot 1684 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 3: statue of that blocked punt outside of the Superdome, solidifying 1685 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 3: his legacy as a symbol of New Orleans resilience after 1686 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,280 Speaker 3: the hurricane. Now Gleason went on to retire from football 1687 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight and was diagnosed with ALS 1688 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 3: in twenty eleven. Now, he and his wife have started 1689 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,639 Speaker 3: a nonprofit organization, Team Gleason to help improve the life 1690 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,320 Speaker 3: of those living with ALS by providing technology equipment. 1691 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,480 Speaker 5: That supports their services. 1692 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,520 Speaker 3: And it's like these eye tracking tech that allows individuals 1693 01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 3: like Gleason to communicate only using their eyes, as you 1694 01:17:56,600 --> 01:18:00,320 Speaker 3: heard in his speech right there. In twenty eight teen, 1695 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,360 Speaker 3: the Steve Gleason Act was passed to ensure the availability 1696 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,400 Speaker 3: of these life sustaining communication devices, and in twenty twenty, 1697 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 3: he became the first football player to receive the Congressional 1698 01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 3: Gold Medal, the highest honor awarded to civilians, for his 1699 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,520 Speaker 3: advocacy work for ALS. 1700 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 4: So, I mean every step of the way. 1701 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,200 Speaker 7: But it's so funny because obviously that was a huge 1702 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 7: like his career was at the pinnacle in that with 1703 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 7: that huge play for the Saints. It's obviously mortalized in 1704 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 7: a statue and you think, oh my god, he overcame 1705 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 7: adversity from being undrafted and this crazy career. Yeah, and 1706 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 7: then you put it, it puts it all in perspective. 1707 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,719 Speaker 7: Then when he gets diagnosed with alis he it's twenty 1708 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,680 Speaker 7: twenty four. He has lived, yes, thirteen years since his 1709 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:42,880 Speaker 7: diagnosis when the doctors originally gave him. 1710 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 5: A couple of years. 1711 01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, that just puts everything into perspective and how this 1712 01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:51,519 Speaker 7: guy has been about resilience and overcoming adversity for his 1713 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 7: entire life two varying degrees. 1714 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 4: It's so inspired. 1715 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,639 Speaker 7: It's exactly what the Arthur Ashe Award at the SP's 1716 01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 7: is made for.
