1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: The trade deadline in the National Football League just ended,

3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: and we will dive into it here. The Cowboys taking

4
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: some crap because uh, they did something that was a

5
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: head scratcher to a lot of people. I have some understanding,

6
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: so I'll give my perspective on that. The Commanders got

7
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: aggressive traded for I would say former star corner who's

8
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: still a good player. He just injured a lot. The

9
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Lions don't really make a big splash, though they make

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: a trade for some defensive line help. The Steelers add

11
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: a couple solid players, starting with Mike Williams as Aaron

12
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers being interviewed on television or YouTube and didn't look

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: to care. Also, we're going to go to campus today

14
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: as we do every Wednesday, because I want to discuss

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: some college football stuff. Lincoln Riley in complete shambles Bama

16
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: at LSU this weekend, great great Saturday night game. Nebraska

17
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: tries to get a little help for their young, highly

18
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: paid quarterback almost at star, but he by no means

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the story. He's been compared to Patrick Mahomes. Maybe that's

20
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: just the outfits and the playing style. But we will

21
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: do that now. I'll answer a couple of mailbag questions

22
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: as well. So at John Middlecoff is the Instagram Fire

23
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: in those dms, get your question answered on the show.

24

26
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: if you missed it, we did a podcast yesterday reacting

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: to the Monday night game, so go check that out

28
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: as well. And like I said, fire in those dms.

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: We will add some mailbag to this podcast and we'll

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: keep on rocking and rolling. But before we do dive

31
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: into some football, I gotta tell you about my friends,

32

35
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: gone to Bama games over the saban Era, most of

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: them from California, and they said it's just an incredible experience.

37
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: So you ever want to make it to one of

38

49
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: you gave up this much for that guy. This guy

50
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: went for way less. That happened to a lot today.

51
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: Because we'll start with the Dallas Cowboys because it was

52
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: a pretty controversial trade. They trade for Jonathan Mingo, who

53
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: is a wide receiver that most people are probably not

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: unless you follow the sec are going to know much about.

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: He's played for the Carolina Panthers for the last year

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and a half, and when he played for the Carolina Panthers,

57
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: you don't have as many eyeballs on you as if

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: he would have been drafted by the Rams or the

59
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: Ravens or something. But this guy was drafted thirty ninth

60
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: overall in the twenty twenty three draft, thirty ninth overall.

61
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: He was a top forty pick and the Cowboys are

62
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: getting crushed today because they traded a fourth round pick

63
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: for this player, when other guys like DeAndre Hopkins, who

64
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: just had two touchdowns on Monday Night Football and looks

65
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: like he's clearly going to be a major addition to

66
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and has been one of the better wide

67
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: receivers in the league over the course of his career,

68
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: did not go for that much. And I think everyone

69
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: gets so emotional like this stuff isn't black and white.

70
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: It's based on a lot of different factors, obviously age,

71
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: but most specifically contract status. And when you have a

72
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: guy like Mingo, who was just drafted thirty ninth overall,

73
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I pulled up his contract. The Cowboys owe him a

74
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: little under six hundred K the rest of the season,

75
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: then they own one point five million, then they own

76
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: one point nine million. He is under contract through twenty

77
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: twenty six, and if he becomes a starting wide receiver

78
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: for you over the next two years on a team

79
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: that is very, very high priced, that is a valuable player.

80
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: So the value in a guy who's on the market,

81
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: because clearly he's full out of favor. The GM that's

82
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: there now didn't draft him even though he was there.

83
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Obviously the head coach had nothing to do with him,

84
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: and he's fallen out of favor in the offense. Got

85
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: forty three balls last year only as twelve, and you

86
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: know it is getting lapped by the dude they drafted

87
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: this year is Aavier Leget. But this is basic economics.

88
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: You have to pay more for younger players. It's like,

89
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: it's not that crazy that this guy, even though the

90
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: chances that Mingo is ever as good as thirty two

91
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: year old DeAndre Hopkins let alone, the prime version obviously

92
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: has slimmed the nun. It has nothing to do with that.

93
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: It's all about how cheap the guy is and how

94
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: they just used a high pick. Now, if you want

95
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: to nitpick the Cowboys, it's fair. Why are they so

96
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: obsessed with their draft grades like they are obsessed with

97
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: we had a high grade on this guy, We might

98
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: have taken this guy at the end of the first

99
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: They did the same thing with Trey Lance a couple

100
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: of years ago, and they go just because we had

101
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: a high grade on them, we are willing to pay

102
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: more than anyone else because clearly this guy was available,

103
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of teams, even shitty teams, should have

104
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: been sniffing around on a guy if they had a

105
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: high grade on this guy and he's available because their

106
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: fourth round pick might be better than the Cowboys. So

107
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: it's like, if you think you're going to get a

108
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: second round pick for a fourth round pick a year later,

109
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: it's pretty good value. Like every team in the league

110
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: should have been interested. But clearly it's a massive red

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: flag on when the least talented team in the NFL

112
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: is getting rid of a guy. I don't care who

113
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: drafted him, they just went in the top forty. Yet

114
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: Jerry and his crew are always like, well, we had

115
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: a high draft grade on him. We're willing because they

116
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: love trying to strike oil finding value. They're like me

117
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: trading stocks. I'll ever when it stocks down, but just

118
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: because it stocks down and you can get it quote

119
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: unquote cheap, does not mean it's going to go back up.

120
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: I've made that mistake many times and I'll probably make

121
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: it again. But Jerry just had this happen with Trey Lance.

122
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Just had this happen in two years after giving a

123
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: fourth round pick for Trey Lance, a pick that the

124
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: forty nine ers use to get a starting safety, Mustafa

125
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: who's been awesome for them. Dak Prescott is now injured

126
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: can't play, and Trey Lance is not their starting quarterback.

127
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Why because he's not even their backup. It's been a

128
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: disastrous trade. I understand you need cheap labor, and I'm

129
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: not opposed to getting aggressive to get this player, but

130
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty telling that, like you are the only team

131
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: willing to go in this round again on a player

132
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: now who's been in the league for a couple of

133
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: years or a year and a half. And I did

134
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: some digging, Like he's six foot two, two hundred and

135
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: twenty pounds, he's fast, he is very athletic in raw

136
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: but in terms of football, he's not like a plug

137
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: and play player right now. Now he's young, and you

138
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: could argue that this trade is probably more even about

139
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: next year than it is this year, because there's gonna

140
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: be a new coaching staff in a new offense. But

141
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: just get the talent involved. But why wasn't the rest

142
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: of the league interested in this talent? So I listen,

143
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Comparing it to the DeAndre Hopkins trade is stupid, Like

144
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: the chances DeAndre Hopkins is on the Chiefs next year

145
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: is probably slim. The nun like they're not even they

146
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: have nothing in common beside they both play wide receiver.

147
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: He's an older player on a large amount of money contract,

148
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: and this is a young player on a rookie contract

149
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: from the second round, which many people in the NFL

150
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: would tell you is the best value when it comes

151
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: to contracts in the league. But I do think we

152
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: have to question, like are they too obsessed with trading

153
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: for these recently drafted players who have come into the

154
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: league and have some question marks quickly based on their

155
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: draft grade, Like that draft grade is somewhat irrelevant a

156
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: year and a half later, three years later, like with

157
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, to evaluate the player. Is it worth it?

158
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Because the one thing you'd say about the Cowboys is

159
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: like they've drafted pretty well over the years, that's not

160
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: their problem. And now they're just giving up a fourth

161
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: round pick where like, look how their season's going, they're

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna draft high in a lot of rounds that could

163
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: be a rotation player for them next year on a

164
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: contract that starts in twenty twenty five. So it's Jerry

165
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: being Jerry. I mean, it's pretty crazy. I don't I

166
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: understand it, Unlike I feel like a lot of people

167
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: that cover and follow and talk about football that I've

168
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: seen their takes on the internet, I just think, like, who,

169
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: why are they so willing constantly to overbid on guys

170
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: like this? And the Commanders, Like I was texting a

171
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: buddy on the Chiefs, I basically asked them, like, are

172
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: you guys ever gonna lose again? What a great life

173
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: they have right now? They just never lose. And it

174
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: was clear like the Chiefs were very, very interested in

175
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore from the Saints, who once upon a time

176
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: before a bunch of injuries, and this guy that was

177
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: injured in twenty two and injured in twenty three and

178
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: it's been banged up this year, was easily one of

179
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: the best corners in the league. He's been to countless

180
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls and he's just a high end player, excellent

181
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: draft pick, you know back in the day by Sean

182
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Paige and Mickey Loomis. But if you're the Chiefs and

183
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: you have a really really high priced quarterback and obviously

184
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: a really really high priced defensive lineman, and it's not

185
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: like your tight end makes nothing, like you got some

186
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: guys you're paying a lot of money. Draft picks are

187
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: pretty valuable to you. So when I saw that the

188
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Commanders were willing to trade a third and a fourth

189
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: round pick for Latimore, I could see the Chiefs going well,

190
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: because he's been good this year, and hell, from what

191
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: I heard, he was good against the Chiefs. But those

192
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: picks to the Chiefs when I do we have some

193
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: question marks on the player, and listen, could we use them,

194
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: of course, but we have other good dbs right now,

195
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: and our defense is pretty damn good. But those picks

196
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: to us, given how much we pay, some of the

197
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: veterans on our team, starting with the quarterback, matter a lot.

198
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: So this better be a very very low risk trade.

199
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: Or if you look at the Commanders, they have more

200
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: room for risk because their quarterback makes nothing. So for

201
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: the next four years, their quarterback's contract salary cap hit

202
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: is nothing compared to all these other teams that have

203
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: guys like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, etc.

204
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So I do think they can look at

205
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: it a little differently. I still think there is a

206
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: lot of risk to this trade. Right You're giving up

207
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: pretty valuable assets on a team that obviously has been

208
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: a sensational story, but we're gonna learn a lot about

209
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: you over the next eight days. Like, it's not inconceivable

210
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: that they lose their next two games and you're going here.

211
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: After you lose the Steelers, after you lose the Eagles,

212
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: You're like, listen, we're still gonna be a wild card team.

213
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. We're gonna win ten plus

214
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: games for the first time in who knows how long,

215
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: and honestly since that year RG three's rookie year. It's

216
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: the most hope, the brightest future, and most normal this

217
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: franchise is felt in decades, So to get aggressive, like

218
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you live in the moment and I'm all for it.

219
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awfully interesting to see how this works out.

220
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: It really is like what they traded for them where

221
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: they're at, you know, going one and done in the

222
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: playoffs would sting. Now you could argue this isn't even

223
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: just about right now. They're trading those assets to have

224
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: this guy under contract on their team for the next

225
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: couple of years, which to me, it all comes down

226
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: to health. If he's healthy and on the field, the

227
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: risk for a team that has a bunch of salary

228
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: cap space. I get it, but I think anytime that

229
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: you trade for some of these injured guys or guys

230
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: that have battled injuries, you just never know, man, You

231
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: just never know. So Adam Peters is getting aggressive. I

232
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: don't think any Washington fan is gonna complain about that.

233
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: But this isn't like a controversial trade like the Cowboys,

234
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: but it is just risky in that, like, are we

235
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: sure this year is the year? Like? I think what

236
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: you guys have been doing has been outstanding and overachieving

237
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: on a really, really high level. But it's hard for

238
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: me to have some strong judgment on you till I

239
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: watch you play the Steelers and the Eagles in a

240
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: five day stretch, play on Sunday, then you play on

241
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: Thursday night, so we'll know a lot about you after

242
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: those couple games. I think the Lions were in a

243
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: tough spot because within the last week, maybe week and

244
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: a half, Mark Davis tells the guys at ESPN, under

245
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: no circumstances, I'm trading Max Crosby. Now, I think some

246
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: people would be like, he really he wants to take

247
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: all the leverage to his team. And if you even

248
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: want this guy, I'm gonna need like two to ones,

249
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: two two's and a couple players or something. I think

250
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: he might have just been speaking like, yeah, under no

251
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: circumstances of my trading Max Crosby. I've done this before

252
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: with Khalil Mack and it was the worst decision we

253
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: ever made, so we're not doing it now. I'm watching

254
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack right now with the Chargers. He looks like

255
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: he's twenty five again. He looks fantastic, So I get it.

256
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: Like if I was Mark Davis, I probably would have

257
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: put him on the block, even if I ended up

258
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: not trading him, but just truly see how much we

259
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: could get, Like I would have gone, listen, we have

260
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: no desire to trade this player, but at the current

261
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: state of our franchise, which is a disaster, we would

262
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: be It'd be gross negligence to not listen offers. But

263
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: your offer, even to get us to listen, better blow

264
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: us the fuck away. If you do not, don't waste

265
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: your time calling. If if your offer is gonna be

266
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: just the twenty twenty five draft picks, hang up the phone.

267
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Don't waste our time. But if you're gonna go to

268
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: multiple drafts with really really high picks, like, yeah, listen,

269
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: this business, Willison, and he kind of shot that down.

270
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: So I thought Max Crosby and the Lions would have

271
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: made a ton of sense. But it takes two to tango.

272
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Not available, I get it, And so they trade for

273
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: Zadarias Smith, who has had a fantastic career, he really has,

274
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: and still his five sacks this year, still a solid player. Obviously,

275
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: if you're talking to the Cleveland Browns, you are discussing

276
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. But a little bit like the Raiders, the

277
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: whole point of drafts and the whole point of acquiring

278
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: players is to get those guys, even though both franchises

279
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: are in shambles, and you have to listen, I do

280
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: understand being on the Raiders or brownside, being like, even

281
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: if we get a couple number ones and we trade

282
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: them to the Lions, well, if they're good the next

283
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: couple of years, those picks are thirty and thirty one,

284
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: what does that do for us? Like, I do get

285
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: the other side, even though if I can get multiple

286
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: ones and multiple twos and my franchise just sucks, I

287
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: just have to entertain it. Clearly they're saying no, and

288
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: who knows, we're the Lions even willing to get that aggressive.

289
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is you look around the NFC. It's

290
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: never gonna be more open. It just never is. I

291
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: Mean the forty nine Ers, even if they start coming,

292
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: still have issues. I mean Brandon Ayuk has a messed

293
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: up knee is gone for the season. So he was

294
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: a key player in beating them last year and the

295
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers making a playoff run. I mean, he

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: was one of their better offensive weapons. Obviously, the question

297
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: marks of Christian McCaffrey. We just saw you beat the

298
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: shit out of the Packers. Like, I'm sorry, Minnesota is

299
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: just not beating the line in Detroit in a playoff game,

300
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, Philly, it's like, Sirianni feels like the poor

301
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: poor man's version of Dan Campbell. But I mean, we're

302
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: gonna learn a lot about them here over the next

303
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I mean, they played the Commanders on

304
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: next Thursday, so they win that, Like they'll clearly be

305
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: headed toward you know, a home playoff game and winning

306
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: that division. But like, it does feel like the NFC

307
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: has been pretty good the last couple of years, and

308
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: right now it feels like, yeah, it's pretty wide open.

309
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: And if you're the Lions, you feel like you're gonna

310
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: be the heavy favorite to win this thing, so you

311
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: can't control a guy getting injured. That sucked. And I

312
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: heard someone talking about this, they're actually kind of lucky

313
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: that it was such a clean leg break that it's

314
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: not ligaments, no acls or pcls, like it's just a

315
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: clean break. Like there's a lot of buzz because of

316
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: how just this is a broken leg, even though it

317
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: looked really bad. Like, if all goes well, he could

318
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: be back for the super Bowl. So if Zadarius can

319
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: just hold them over, clearly they just have. You talk

320
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: about elite team chemistry, that's what they feel like. So

321
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: it's been awesome to watch this turnaround. I've talked about

322
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: it before. I don't even think we are like over

323
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: I don't think you can overstate how incredible turning around

324
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions and turning them into a dominant football

325
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: team is like that if you would have told people

326
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: over the last thirty years that would ever happen, nobody

327
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: would believe you not a soul, especially in a division

328
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: like with and you're like, oh, yeah, the Packers are

329
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: still good. It'd be one thing if like, ah, the Packers,

330
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: they just they finally whiffed on a quarterback, no offense,

331
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: franchising shambles. Oh yeah, Minnesota that they suck to. They've

332
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: turned into the Raiders of the Cold, and the Bears

333
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: are the same old Bears. But it's like now, actually

334
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: the Bears are in shambles and they're actually still pretty talented.

335
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota and the Packers are playoff teams. It's like, yeah,

336
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: we're the best team in football. He'd be like, damn,

337
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: they got to be really good and last, but not

338
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: least team. I want to hit on with the Steelers.

339
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: Who uh, I'm down you. It was funny. I had

340
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: McAfee on my extra you know, I got my laptop

341
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: here that I'm talking into, but I also have like

342
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: the external monitor, you know, a big one looks like

343
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: a little TV. And sometimes, you know, I'll just drag

344
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Colin or McAfee or whatever, depending on you know who

345
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: they're talking to or what time it is. And I

346
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: saw Rogers was on McAfee, so I flipped it on

347
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: and then they're like breaking news as Rogers sitting there

348
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: getting asked questions. Your teammate has just been traded and

349
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: he looked like, oh, yeah, good for him. You know,

350
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: it's being nice to get a fresh start. It's like, yeah,

351
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: he does not give a shit. Very awkward, really is.

352
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: And that's what happens when you just have a team

353
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: full of mercenaries. And that's what the Jets were. And

354
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I didn't quite realize this, but a lot a bunch

355
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: of people report on this. Mike Williams basically chose. It

356
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: came down between the Jets and the Steelers, and he

357
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: chose the Jets, which obviously, in you know, looking back retrospect,

358
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: isn't was a mistake. If he could do that over again,

359
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: he just would have gone to the Steelers. But you know,

360
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: he showed a little life last week on that Thursday

361
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: night game against Texans. Like it's not like he's totally shot.

362
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: He clearly is nowhere what he once was preed the injuries,

363
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: but they gave up a fifth form. You put him

364
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: and Pickins, big body, just throw deep balls. Let them

365
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: go get fifty to fifty balls. I mean, that's kind

366
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: of how Russell plays. Play great defense. Have TJ be

367
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: the defensive Player of the Year. Have Najee Harris and

368
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren run their ass Off and you just got

369
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a tough team, man. I mean

370
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: I watched the Ravens who traded for a corner to

371
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: day Tradevius White from the Rams, who I don't know

372
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: how good he is at this point in time. I mean,

373
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: he went for a seventh round pick. So if you're

374
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: a decent corner, you know in this league, you know,

375
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: I think it's the writing's kind of on the wall.

376
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: But I don't blame them. I mean, they're pretty desperate

377
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: right now. It's hard for me to watch the Ravens

378
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: and watch the Steelers and think the Steelers are gonna

379
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: win that division. But the Ravens have dropped some stupid games.

380
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: And you know, the Steelers beat Washington this week. Their defense,

381
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: their pass rush is just so excellent. And let's face it,

382
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Russ has given them definitely more offensive life because the

383
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: passing game is much more It's just higher level in

384
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: the fact that they can push the ball down the field.

385
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Pickens is alive now, and yeah, if I was a

386
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: Steelers fan, I'd be pretty excited. I think we can

387
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: temper enthusiasm like we're not winning the Super Bowl, but

388
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: like shit, we could win the division. We could win

389
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: a playoff game like this is a lot better than

390
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: what has been in recent memory. So I think spirits

391
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: should be really high and the Steelers just kind of

392
00:21:52,440 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: stay aggressive. The NFL season is rolling along and contenders

427
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: I was watching Florio on my YouTube homepage. You came

428
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: up him talking with Dan Patrick about William Belichick, and obviously,

429
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know the Cowboys are gonna come open.

430
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thinks that Bill's gonna go coach

431
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: with Jerry and Dak. You know, the Eagles situation is

432
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: a pretty big wild card to me. If that job opens,

433
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine Bill Belichick as the next coach of

434
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But who knows. I mean, what if Sirianne's

435
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: in the NFC championship game, which is very plausible the Jags.

436
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: Everyone keeps connecting that, But like Bill Belichick is gonna

437
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: coach the Jacksonville Jaguars with Trevor Lawrence, who is gotta

438
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: be one of the most overpaid professional athletes we've ever seen.

439
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of them, especially if you're

440
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: my age and my adult life, given how much the

441
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: explosion of money these one hundred two hundred and three

442
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars contracts and the NBA and baseball, I mean,

443
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: we have seen some disasters in football. It's a lot

444
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: like less prevalent because most of these contracts aren't fully

445
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: guaranteed and I can usually get out of it. But

446
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: now we've seen some quarterback contracts, Russell Wilson and Denver

447
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: in what we're seeing, Deshaun Watson in Cleveland and now

448
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: this one in Jacksonville. So I like the guy that

449
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: I just witnessed on that final drive against the Eagles, Like,

450
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: that's who Bill is gonna just sign up for the

451
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: last couple of years of his adult coaching life. I don't.

452
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing it. I have seen

453
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: some people like would the Raiders be interested? I don't

454
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: know if the Raiders make that much sense. And listen,

455
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: maybe I'm assuming and you know what they say about that,

456
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: it makes an ass out of you and me. But

457
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: I assume that Bill Belichick's offensive coordinator is gonna be

458
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, Right, that's the guy he had all the

459
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: success with. He's available, He's not gonna be a head coach.

460
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: Like wherever Bill goes, his offensive coordinator is gonna be Josh.

461
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: Well the Raiders job, Josh McDaniel's not gonna be the

462
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator there, even if by the time he went

463
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: back it'd be all brand new players. That ain't happening.

464
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: And I also wonder, like Tom Brady Mark Davis, a

465
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: lot of people think, in myself included, that Tom is

466
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: going to have a much more influential role moving forward.

467
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: It's fair to say Antonio Pierce is not just coaching

468
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: for his job, but it's probably screwed, like he's probably

469
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. It is looks like another Raider season,

470
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: which tends to be a disaster. I do wonder if

471
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel makes more sense there because he's not tied

472
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: to Josh McDaniels. He can bring any offensive coordinator he wants.

473
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: That is kind of Tom's guy, like they are clearly

474
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: very good buddies. And all Mark Davis wants is to

475
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: have a cool coach who's good. He tried it with

476
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: Gruden and whoever leaked those emails fucked him and he

477
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: had to fire him, and obviously Mark didn't want to

478
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: do it. Deuce Gruden still on the staff. He tried

479
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: to strike oil again with Josh McDaniels, and a year

480
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: and a half later, Max Crosby and DeVante Adams begged

481
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: him to fire him over dinner and he did. And

482
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to have these interim random coaches. He

483
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: wants a coaching star. It's Vegas, it's a bright light place.

484
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: It's a city of stars, and I think Mike Vrabel's

485
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: probably as good as they can do. Now would he

486
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: be interested? Money would have to talk I mean, part

487
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: of the reason this story about them firing their coaching staff,

488
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: which is pretty unheard of, firing three coaches in November,

489
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: especially the OC, the quarterback coach, and the O line coach.

490
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: Like that's that's more than just mixing something up. That's

491
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: like cleaning house in the middle of the season. Especially

492
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: when the head coach is a defensive guy. Now, I

493
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: understand they bring in Norv Turner off the couch, but

494
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier for a player like a

495
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Flacco to come off the couch and start playing than

496
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: it is to me for a coach to come off

497
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: the couch and start coaching. But we'll see. I don't

498
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: expect anything to change. I do just wonder if Brady

499
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: tries to make the big to bring in Mike Vrabel

500
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: and you know, connect him with I don't don't know exactly. No,

501
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: if Telesco might get fired too, it'd be Mark paying

502
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I mean, one thing Mark does

503
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: have now that like all these other owners have that

504
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: fire coaches constantly, is just unlimited wealth. It's why these

505
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: it's why these teams fire guys now after one or

506
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: two years without hesitation, because if they think the guy sucks.

507
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: It's really doesn't change their life at all or their

508
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: teams operating procedures. Paying a guy ten million dollars to

509
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: go away it does not matter. It really does. It

510
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: used to. It mattered forever. It's why so many coaches

511
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: in the history of sports that the owner had turned

512
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: on probably got an extra year because they were under

513
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: contract they didn't want to pay him to go away.

514
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Those days are over once the NFL money has become

515
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: monopoly money where it's all fake. Well it's not fake

516
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: because it's really in their bank accounts, but like it's

517
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: so much it does not matter. And if Brady can

518
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: convince him, I think vrabel might be a name to

519
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: keep an eye on, assuming he'd even you know, be interested.

520
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: But if I was a Raider fan like that, that

521
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: would that would be much better than the alternative. Okay,

522
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: let's go on campus as we do every single week.

523
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: College football has been fantastic this year, it really has.

524
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: I have watched probably more college football start to finish

525
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: on Saturdays this season than I have in a long time.

526
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: And I've watched I mean, I'm a diehard college football guy,

527
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: but but I feel like I've watched and maybe it's

528
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: because you two TV has the four boxes, so it

529
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: feels like it's easier to kind of keep up with

530
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: more teams than you would used to. I don't just

531
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: have to, like I'm just watching the best game, which

532
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do no matter what. Like Ohio State's playing

533
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Penn State, you're gonna watch it. Right, Alabama's playing LSU,

534
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna watch it. I just end up watching like

535
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: Iowa stay k State some of these random games. I

536
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: do think the four box has changed the game, and

537
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: props to YouTube TV for creating that because it was

538
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: desperately needed. Colin and I mentioned this, well, he brought

539
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: it up because he's a USC guy. There's no disputing

540
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: this is. This is an epic disaster. It really is.

541
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean they paid the guy one hundred and twenty

542
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. I remember texting my guy at Oklahoma back

543
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: when the rumor started growing. I'm like, do you think

544
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna leave? He's like, no, he just built a

545
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: multi million dollar mansion in Norman, Oklahoma. And this is

546
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: not Scottsdale or Vegas or LA where it's like people

547
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: are gonna be You're gonna have a lot of options

548
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: to sell, He's like, he wouldn't even be able to

549
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: unload it. And what did sc do as part of

550
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: the deal to sign Lincoln Riley? They not only bought

551
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: the house from him, they paid five hundred grand over

552
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: asking price. They had so much money, They're like they

553
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: were gonna make that deal impossible for in the history

554
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: of human beings, in the history of human beings. Even

555
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: if Lincoln wanted no part of moving to la with

556
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: his family, given small town Texas kid had been at

557
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and crushing it, it was one of those offers

558
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: that he couldn't refuse. I would have taken it. You

559
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: would have taken it. We all would have taken it,

560
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: because it's one of those that gets presented to you

561
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: you cannot say no, And he didn't. Even though I'll

562
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: believe this to my core, I never thought it was

563
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: a good fit. I never thought it made any sense

564
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: because regionality in college football matters where you're from and

565
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: where you coach means a lot. There are outliers. Urban

566
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: Meyer was not a dude from the south from Ohio,

567
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: but he crushed it at Florida. He's one of the

568
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: better college coaches in the history of the sport. I

569
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: love it when I hear Saban he wasn't from the

570
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: dirty South. It's like, hey, he's from West Virginia. Like

571
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: to me, Saban, I give Saban having success at LSU

572
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: in Alabama, like his personality fits right in. So when

573
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: I see Lincoln Riley struggling, I didn't expect it to

574
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to work in the

575
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: sense of he was going to be the next Nick

576
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: Saban or Urban Meyer at SE or do what Pete

577
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Carroll did. But I thought his team would win eight

578
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: to nine games every year. They're four and five. They

579
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: are four and five, and it was reported today that

580
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: they're benching Miller Moss for the backup some UNLV transfer.

581
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: If you would have told me after the first couple weeks,

582
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: like I understand, Utah State's not very good, but playing

583
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: LSU in Vegas and then beating the shit out of

584
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Utah State, Miller Moss looks good, that this team would

585
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: be four and five, I would have said there would

586
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: have to be a tragedy or something that happened to

587
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: the football team that just derails their season. But they

588
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: just play bad. They're just not very good, and you

589
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: can't fake toughness, and Lincoln Riley clearly is not a

590
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: good enough recruiter and their ability at SC to buy

591
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: guys in the nil to overcome that, Like Ryan Day

592
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: and Sark, I don't consider tough guys either relative. I'm

593
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: this is relative to football coaches like Kirby Smart is

594
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: a tough guy. Nick Saban was a tough guy. Urban

595
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 1: Meyer tough guy. But they can buy the defense. And

596
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: you're watching USC, It's like, are we buying and on

597
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: the right guys, do you have any clue what you're

598
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: looking for? I just don't know how this ends. But

599
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: if you were a betting man right now, you would

600
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: say this is not going to end very well. You

601
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: can't pay someone one hundred and twenty million dollars and

602
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: by the thirty year. In a world where there's transfer portals,

603
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: meaning you can get guys brand new every year, you

604
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: can force shitty players out immediately, you can turn over

605
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: your roster like that. I said this when Lincoln was

606
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: trying to get out of the Brian Kelly Lsu game.

607
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: I said, you're at the same spot he is. Year three.

608
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: You have new coordinators, you have a new quarterback. This

609
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: isn't ten years ago where you needed three or four

610
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: years just to get your recruiting classes in the mix.

611
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: Those days are over. You should be able to flip

612
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: it like that, and you shouldn't get dramatically worse over time.

613
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: And you went seven and five last year, what's he

614
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna go this year? Six and six? Because at this

615
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: point in time, like it doesn't even matter, he's already failed. Well,

616
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: momentum is such a big deal in twenty twenty five,

617
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: with the way kids are on social media, with the

618
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: hype train of like Ohio State and Georgia and Bama

619
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: and LSU and Texas, Texas A and M like these

620
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: programs feel cool. It's one thing Florida has really battled like.

621
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: They just haven't felt cool in a long time. You

622
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: can say that sounds juvenile, well, but that's who you're

623
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: talking to, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen year olds and there's just

624
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: this negative perception. Or Organ's a great example, they've been

625
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: cool for twenty plus years, but they really feel like

626
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: one of the it programs. Like that's where I want

627
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: to be if I was a kid in California. Unless

628
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: an organ is always recruited well in California. When I

629
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: was a kid, they were coming to Sacramento and getting

630
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: the best players. Ontario Smith was one of the best

631
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: running backs in California. He went to Oregon. Remember the

632
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: Wizonator that's fake Dick that he used a piss to

633
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: get away from the piss test and got caught. Funny story,

634
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: but Ontario Smith was sweet. My point is like they're

635
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: just falling behind and they're getting lapped fast, so I

636
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: don't know what the endgame is beside, Like, I don't

637
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: think this is ever gonna work, and I think it's

638
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: a good example of most of us will just never

639
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: get an offer, one of those offers where someone knocks

640
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: on your door. You have a million dollar house and

641
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: they offer you ten million dollars. You're like, I don't

642
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: want to I have no desire to move. Moving as

643
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: sounds like the worst thing humanly imaginable right now. My

644
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: family loves it here, but we got to take your money,

645
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: like we don't have a choice, Like I'll move out tonight.

646
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: And that's what it feels like. Like he didn't want

647
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: to move, he didn't want to leave, and now he's

648
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: at a place where he doesn't relate to culturally, it's

649
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: not his people or his family's people. And it's also

650
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: a program that needs a lot of work. And he

651
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: was never exactly a guy that built it from the

652
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: ground up. Like that's Brian Kelly what he does. He

653
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: can go to a place that's in shambles and build

654
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: it from scratch. Lincoln took over something that was kind

655
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: of humming and a lot like Chip Kelly took it

656
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: to the next level, right, But the Oregon chip Kelly

657
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: inherited wasn't like a four or five win team. They

658
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: were top twenty five every year. He just turned him

659
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: into top five or six every year. But they were

660
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: already like most years like seventeenth, fourteenth, nineteenth, like they

661
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: were good NFL draft picks everywhere. It's why as Chip's

662
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: career went on, like it was got a little harder,

663
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: like what he did at Oregon was awesome, but he didn't.

664
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: They weren't some joke that he turned into a power.

665
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: They were a damn good program that he turned into

666
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: a power. That's what Lincoln did as well. Damn good

667
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: program that had stagnated a little bit but was always

668
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: in the top twenty five that he then turned into

669
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: top five or six, and he also benefited because Texas

670
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: was really down during that time. Speaking to Oregon, like,

671
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: they've never won a national championship. Like when you think

672
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: about the teams they're competing against, Ohio State several time

673
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: national champions in my life. Georgia won two in like

674
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: the last five years. You know, if LSU were to

675
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs. We've had three national championships

676
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years with three different coaches. Texas, Like,

677
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: they won a national championship when I was a junior

678
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: senior in college in one of the great games we've

679
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: ever seen, and they went back to another three or

680
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: four years later with Mac Brown when Colt got hurt

681
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: in Alabama Veto and I think a lot of people

682
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: I think they were favored in that game, if I

683
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: remember correctly, when he heard a shoulder. This might be

684
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: their time. It really might. Because when you look at

685
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: college football, like I think Ohio State's pretty good and

686
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: I think they are going to be a mother to beat,

687
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: And I would say the same thing about Georgia, But

688
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: I go, you know, do I totally trust Ryan Day?

689
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: I just don't. And when I look at Georgia, like,

690
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: do I trust their quarterback. Hell no, I don't. And

691
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing about Texas, like I

692
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: just don't trust their quarterback. So I look at Oregon,

693
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: I go Quarterback's pretty damn good. Their team top to bottom,

694
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: especially the way they're playing Postalhiose State is probably playing

695
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: the best in the country. And then they just have

696
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: a coach, while he's never done it as a head coach,

697
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: had a front row seat as the right hand man

698
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: for Kirby smart so knows what it takes to win Natties.

699
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: Remember when Kirby got the job at Georgia. Took him

700
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: a little while, but what did he know? He knew

701
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: the secret sauce because he sat right next to Nick

702
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: for a decade plus and watched them build that thing

703
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: from scratch. I think it'd be pretty cool, you know,

704
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: in a day and age where we have these same

705
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: consistent powers. Now that Miami's back, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas,

706
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: it's like all these teams have won Natties. Oregon is

707
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: the one team that has consistently been in the conversation

708
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: that hasn't. And they've been to a couple and it

709
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: didn't go their way, right, didn't go their way at all.

710
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: Obviously they got house by Ohio State when Mariota was

711
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: playing that that that game did not go well. And

712
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't vividly remember the game. But the

713
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: game they lost to Auburn against was that Cam Newton

714
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven or was that the year? Yeah, it

715
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: would have been. Was it Cam Newton or the year

716
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: before Cam Newton won the national championship? Pretty sure he did.

717
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm getting my my dates messed up, but I'm

718
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: rooting for Oregon to win the whole thing. Uh Bama

719
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: at LSU, this is our first like playoff game, Like,

720
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: whoever lose this game is out. If Bama loses this game,

721
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: they're done. If LSU loses this game, they're done. And

722
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: whoever wins this game, look at their schedules, is going

723
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs. Now they're gonna be the

724
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: eleventh or twelfth seed, but they're a playoff team. And

725
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: if I tell you, and this is what's so awesome

726
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: about the playoffs, if like you know, let's say Ohio

727
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: State or Oregon, if they lose to Ohio State in

728
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: the conference title game, is the fifth seed. If your

729
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: Oregon and you lose one game, use a lot of

730
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: walk off field goal to Ohio State in your seed five,

731
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: and in the first round you get LSU or Bama.

732
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean that kind of sucks. It's like it's like

733
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens or the Steelers. This year they go thirteen

734
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: and four and in the first round you get Jim

735
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: harbaughd Justin Herbert, Like, what the fuck right? How does

736
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: that happen? Well? I do think that. I think whoever

737
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: wins this game, and I think LSU is gonna win,

738
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be at LSU. Remember a couple of years ago,

739
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: and I think it was Brian Kelly's first year, they

740
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: beat the saving team on that walkoff touchdown. I think

741
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: this is probably your twelve seed because I think when

742
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: the dust settles, if Boise wins out, they might be

743
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: the nine or ten. I think everyone just pitcheonholed whoever

744
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: the non like power forward team was to make the playoffs.

745
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Being the twelve seed, I could see Boise. They lost

746
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: to Oregon by three points at Eugene being a little

747
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: higher than people realize. And last but not least, I

748
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: wanted Nebraska to be good. And that was the second

749
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: game of the season when they played Colorado. Who Now,

750
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: if Colorado runs the table, Colorado would be a playoff team.

751
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: Think how incredible that is. The Colorado would be a

752
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: playoff team. That's on the table right now. But Nebraska

753
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: played Colorado. I remember watching that game. I think it

754
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: was Week two, and they just beat the brakes off

755
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: them and Colorado looked like they were headed toward a

756
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: three or four win season. It's like, this is a

757
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: completely different world. And as the season has gone on,

758
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: their offense has looked like shit. And this happens a lot.

759
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: It happens in the pros, and it happens in college football.

760
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: When we anoyed a guy, this guy was the number

761
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: one overall pick. This guy was a five star guy

762
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: that we just gave five million dollars to. It's kind

763
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: of cool that we can just admit that. For a

764
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: long time we had to pretend like they're just really

765
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: good recruiters. Yeah, and they also gave him a brown

766
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: bag and a car and a home for his parents

767
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: and a job for his sister, and then funnels some

768
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: money some other places. Now we're like, hey, he's got

769
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. It's just it's much healthier environment that

770
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: we can just openly talk about it. But the dominic

771
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: Riola experience has been a lot more down than up.

772
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: And I know everyone and I was probably guilty of

773
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,959
Speaker 1: this too, was like the next Patrick Mahomes. This dude

774
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: is Patrick Mahomes. It's like, well, I'm watching Patrick Mahomes.

775
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is like the way better version of Brett

776
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: Farv who is a top ten quarterback of all time,

777
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, three time MVP. So if this guy's

778
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: going to be compared to Patrick Mahomes just because he

779
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: wears some cool shades, let's make sure he can play football,

780
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: and right now he can't. In offensively, Nebraska is near

781
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: the bottom as an offense in rushing and passing in

782
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, which isn't exactly the most potent offensive conference.

783
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: So today they hired Dana Holgerson, who once upon a

784
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: time was like one of Leech's right hand guys, became

785
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: known as an offensive guru, ended up becoming Gundhi's offensive

786
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: coordinator in twenty ten and becoming like known as an

787
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: offensive wizard. Goes to West Virginia and then coaches at Houston,

788
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: and they have just hired him as a consultant, which

789
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: I would if I had to take an educated guess,

790
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if they make a coordinator change

791
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: this offseason because you can't pay the quarterback this much money.

792
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: It happens in pros. Why is Eberflusen? Everyone gonna get

793
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: fired in Chicago? It's not the defense. The defense is fine.

794
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: It's because Caleb sucks and Caleb is not allowed to suck.

795
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: Now as time goes on, maybe he wasn't as good

796
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: as the hype, but that will get people fired, Like

797
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: several people fired, but how many people Trevor Lawrence is

798
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: getting fired? It happens. It's part of the deal. And

799
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: if you're Matt Ruhle, if you want to have success,

800
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: you have to make this quarterback good. And you're not

801
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: exactly offensive mastermind, so you bring in a guy maybe

802
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: spread the offense out a little bit. Think about Patrick Mahomes.

803
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: What did he do in college? Played in an air

804
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: raid offense under Cliff Kingsbury. Well, it's Cliff Kingsbury. His background,

805
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: Mike Leach Texas Tech, who was as a player, who

806
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: was one of his wide receiver and offensive coordinator and

807
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: quarterback coach Dana Holgerson. So I think this is an

808
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: easy offense to get success with your quarterback. It makes

809
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: everything easier, and you could argue nobody is underachieving more

810
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: based on the hype for six months than the Nebraska quarterback.

811
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: And that's on Matt rule to figure that out. So

812
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: I like this move a lot. Okay, let's answer some

813
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: questions for the mail bag. You guys know the drill

814
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: at John middlecoff at John middle cough is my Instagram

815
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: fire in those dms. Get your question answered here on

816
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: the show. Question for the mailbag? How was Carson Beck

817
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: from Georgia considered a top five pick at the start

818
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: of the year, and some even had him going number one.

819
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: I've only watched him play a few times and he

820
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: absolutely stinks. Can you remember a draft stock falling this

821
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: bad this fast? I cannot, because I think sometimes we

822
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: get guys that are overvalued, that are you know, hyped

823
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: up by the media. I think this guy legitimately. I'm

824
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: not saying every team had like first round grades on him,

825
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: but I do think he was one of the most

826
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: intriguing prospects coming into the season. He was coming off

827
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: a year where they went thirteen and one. He threw

828
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: twenty four touchdowns and six picks. Like he was good

829
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: last year. He has eleven interceptions this year. I mean

830
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: they still have four games left, actually probably five because

831
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: George is gonna be in the SEC Championship and that's

832
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: just the regular season and then you factor in the

833
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: playoffs eleven or I mean, he's on pace to throw

834
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen picks. So I think he legitimately, like

835
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and really watch last year

836
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: because they played in so many games that didn't matter,

837
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: and even their bowl game, they played Florida State who

838
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: was resting and had a bunch of guy opt outs.

839
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was a fake team and they beat

840
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: like one hundred to nothing, So that game doesn't count.

841
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: Remember the Bama game, Like, pretty impressive win by Bama.

842
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: But he stinks like he's been really bad that there's

843
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: no way around it, and it can't just be like

844
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, I hear this a lot, like he misses

845
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 1: Lad mcconkeye and Brock Bowers. Well, yeah, I mean, any

846
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: good quarterback like those guys. They both went what one

847
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: dude went in the first round, the other guy went

848
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: in the top of the second round, So Obviously those

849
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: guys were elite players, but this is Georgia. Like who

850
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: you got other NFL players? Like his running back is

851
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: in an NFL guy, His true freshman running back is

852
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: an NFL guy. They're wide receivers. You know, over the

853
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: course of their careers, I promise you will get drafted.

854
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: So it can't just be like he has no talent

855
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: on offense. He just looks bad. He looks overwhelmed. He

856
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: looks like a slow processor. He obviously looks like a

857
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: bad decision maker, throws it to the other team a lot,

858
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: which is clearly not good. Love the pod. I like

859
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: your takes. I like this guy. This is justin what

860
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: should the Dolphins do with Tua and McDaniels, even though

861
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: they signed to it in a long term contract. I

862
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: don't think he's the guy to take us to the

863
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: promised land. I think we knew that last year, so

864
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: before they signed him to the contract, they knew this

865
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: wasn't a promise lank quarterback. They overpaid him, but they

866
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: basically were overpaying them to just make them a capable

867
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: team for four months, and Colin and I talked about this.

868
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: I've said this forever about Tua there's value in being

869
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: a guy like if we do a good enough job

870
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: building the team we can go to we can be

871
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: a wild card team. There's one hundred percent value in

872
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 1: that because you would much like when to a plays

873
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: like they are a capable NFL team. When he does not,

874
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: they are the Raiders. So like when he plays, they

875
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: would be able to compete for seven, eight, nine wins,

876
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: depending on how well their defense is and how healthy

877
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: their offense is. But like him, as a player against

878
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: half the league, he's going to be better than the

879
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: problem is like when you play Josh, when you play Mahomes,

880
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: when he gets cold, I mean that's obviously, but once

881
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: you pay him, like unless he had retired, you are

882
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: stuck with this guy for several years. Like this guy

883
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: that there's no the coach is not going anywhere because

884
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: clearly the coach in and the quarterback, I would say,

885
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: are pretty directly tied together. So right now, to a

886
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, whenever you sign one of these big contracts,

887
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: the first year isn't actually not that bad. You get

888
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: a discount. So his capit this year's nine point two

889
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: million dollars and they get they his signing bonus was

890
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: forty two million dollars to his pre rich next year.

891
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: This is where it starts getting weird. His cap pit's

892
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: forty million dollars, and you owe him in cash like

893
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars because you've paid a bunch of

894
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: it upfront. He's basically on the team these next two

895
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: years after this season, because in twenty twenty six, his

896
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: cap pit is fifty six million dollars and you owe

897
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: him in actual cash forty million dollars. So then after

898
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: that you can kind of get out in twenty twenty seven,

899
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: but unless he retires, like this guy's your quarterback, and

900
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: if he's your quarterback, you might as well keep the

901
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: coach because it's not going to change at all. I

902
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: think the problem is, and you asked this question. With

903
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: Tyreek getting sneaky old waddle, being injury prone and the

904
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: defense being terrible, I don't see how Mike McDaniel pulls

905
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: us out of this hole. This is where you guys

906
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: are in this weird spot. I just saw on the

907
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: Twitter some called x that this is the first time

908
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: after the trade deadline since two thousand and one, going

909
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: into the two thousand and two Draft, that every NFL

910
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: team currently has their first round pick, which is pretty

911
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: crazy to think about. Usually we always got, you know,

912
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: draft day trades that future ones. But every team currently

913
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: one through thirty two, depending on obviously how it plays out,

914
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: has their first round pick. Now do I believe that

915
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: will hold. I do not shit will happen over the

916
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: course of the next four or five months. But I'm

917
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: just using this example. Like, you got your picks and

918
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: you got a first round pick, So like if you

919
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: draft well, you can change the course of your franchise.

920
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: Your offensive line has been pretty bad. In your defense,

921
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean, just lost two big time players over the

922
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: course of the last year. You lost your best player

923
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 1: in Christian Wilkins, and the dude on Minnesota, Van Ginkel,

924
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: is awesome. So I I think you kind of got

925
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: to do like a you're not doing a rebuild, but

926
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: like a reset. And you play in Miami, no state

927
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: income tax, incredible city, different city. Like I go there,

928
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that many people there, so when I've

929
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: been there for a couple of times, I don't quite

930
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: always know like where to go and what's hip and

931
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: what's not hip. But it is pretty cool. It's a

932
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: lot different because a lot of you guys restaurants if

933
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: you're a Miami guy, are in the hotels, which is

934
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: a cool experience, but it's also like, this is Vegas,

935
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: so it's a little weird. But I've been there multiple

936
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 1: times and really liked it both times. And obviously players,

937
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: if you're rich and young, I mean shit, it's a

938
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: great place to be. So they'll always be able to,

939
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: you know, convince guys to sign there if they got

940
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: cap space. It could be a lot Bleaker Love the pod.

941
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: Enjoyed your beat eighty video from TPC right. Hopefully it's

942
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: just been busy in the month of October, but we

943
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: plan on recording some more videos for YouTube, I would

944
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: say over the next thirty forty five days. Question, why

945
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: would Seattle call run over tackle on third and twenty

946
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: six seems like very low odds of making a first down.

947
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and watch. Me and Colin jumped

948
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: on after you know, Gino throws the pick six and

949
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: they go up twenty to thirteen, and it looked like

950
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: they were gonna win, and then we started recording, and

951
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: then it turned out they tied the game, and I

952
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen I'm gonna go back and watch that over

953
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours, so I must have missed

954
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: that play. Obviously he's taken a lot of shit for

955
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: some decisions he made. We were recording in the afternoon window.

956
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: I just assume the moment Gino threw that pick six,

957
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: I assume the game was over. He actually then threw

958
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 1: another pick after that. I mean he was. I think

959
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: the hard part about the Geno experience and he must

960
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: have made some plays to tie the game up, is

961
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: you watch him like it's not really debatable at this

962
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: point in time, like this is not a sustainable answer.

963
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: It really is not. Like you can't How am I

964
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: supposed to compete against the Rams and Matt Stafford? How

965
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: am I supposed to compete against Josh Allen. I have

966
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: not shown I can compete against Perty and Kyle. Like

967
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: it's him and he's not some shitty scrub, but like

968
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: there's limitations and it feels like he is the guy.

969
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: Every time you want to bust through that wall, it's

970
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: like he holds you back. I don't have iTunes and

971
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here a Packers fan in Scotland at ten

972
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: thirty pm. How good is the Lions aligne best in

973
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: a decade. These guys making plays because they got more

974
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: chances to never seen a blown up play all year

975
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: long from them. Anyway, they are going down. Maybe not

976
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: Jesus ball slipping out of the hands. Lions could go

977
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: sixteen to one. Maybe this was this guy dming me

978
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: about his takes. Then his take was wrong. Yeah, their

979
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: offensive line is good, man, it really is. I have

980
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: a question for you to settle an argument. If you

981
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: have three down linemen and send an outside linebacker off

982
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: the edge, is it a blitz? I firmly believe it

983
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: is not, but a few of my friends would vehemently disagree.

984
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: I think it depends if your defense is a three

985
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: to four defense, meaning you have a nose tackle and

986
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: two five techniques and the outside linebacker comes. You know,

987
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: forever like less and less teams run this defense now.

988
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: But when I think three four defense, I think forever

989
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens and then Fangio with Harbaugh and the Niners.

990
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: They had three defensive linemen. They had a Mod Brooks

991
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: and Alden Smith, and those five guys came. Now, every

992
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: once in a while one of them would drop out,

993
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: But I would not consider it when all five guys

994
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: rush a blitz. Would I consider it a blitz? So

995
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: in your scenario, if I have three defensive lineman, I

996
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: have two outside linebackers right, one on each side, one

997
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: outside of the tight end and the other outside the

998
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: other tackle. So you'd have to get like Belichick to

999
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: nerd out on this one. Obviously, there's probably a lot

1000
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: of variables on your question, So I'm with you. I

1001
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: would not consider it a blitz, but I guess it

1002
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: would depend on the specific scheme and if what they

1003
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: were actually doing is It also depends on the player,

1004
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: Like you, if the forty nine ers have a a

1005
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: defense where they just have three defensive linemen in the game,

1006
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: it's like Leonard Floyd, you know, Hard Graves and Nick Bosa.

1007
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: Hardgrave's injured. I'm just using this as example. And Fred

1008
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: Warner lines up outside your tight end and he comes,

1009
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,959
Speaker 1: I would consider that a blitz. And I'm just using

1010
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: that scenario, like if the middle linebacker is lined up

1011
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: at outside linebacker and comes, you know, I would consider

1012
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:32,959
Speaker 1: that a blitz. I'd have to look, but how many

1013
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: teams run a three to four defense in the NFL.

1014
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: It feels like the overwhelming majority of defenses have four

1015
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: down defensive linemen is Lamar and Derrick Henry the greatest

1016
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: quarterback running back duo ever. As I currently type this,

1017
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: Lamar leads the league in passing yards while also leading

1018
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: the league in total touchdowns. Well, Henry leads the league

1019
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: in rushing yards and leads the league in rushing touchdowns.

1020
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: If they are able to cap it off by winning

1021
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, I think this has to be the

1022
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: discussed as the greatest show on turf with Warner and Falk,

1023
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: where I don't think they're comparable, Like obviously Kurt Warner MVP,

1024
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: Marshall Falk MVP. They're champions and they're both Hall of famers,

1025
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: But Kurt Warner couldn't run, So it's like, yeah, Kurt was,

1026
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean at that point in time playing like he

1027
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: was Brett fav or something, but he was no threat

1028
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: to run. Where Lamar is easily the greatest running quarterback

1029
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: of all time. I honestly, I don't even know if

1030
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: there's a close second as we sit here today, but

1031
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: he currently has twenty passing touchdowns. So you have the

1032
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: greatest running quarterback who has become this sixty eight percent

1033
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: passer who's on pace to throw. I don't know, thirty

1034
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: three thirty five touchdowns and he's the best rushing quarterback.

1035
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: Where I didn't think this was going to be possible

1036
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: is that, like, you know, Henry's kind of old, a

1037
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of tread on those tires. He looks incredible. He

1038
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: looks like he did five years ago. He looks as fast,

1039
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: he looks his spry, his feet look as quick, his

1040
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: high end speed is every bit his high end. His

1041
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: power on the stiff arm looks normal. I would have

1042
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: said this is impossible even if Lamar dominates and is

1043
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: the best player in the league, because Henry's just an

1044
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: older player in the league. Kind of told you that.

1045
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: I think if people knew he was going to be

1046
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: this good, I don't know, he would have got twenty

1047
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: plus million dollars guaranteed even as an older. So yeah,

1048
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: I'd have to think how many great running quarterbacks. It'd

1049
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: be like, given Josh Allen Christian mccaffrey'd be like, how

1050
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: do you stop these two guys? That's kind of what

1051
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: this is. I didn't think it would work with Henry's style.

1052
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just kind of closed my

1053
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: eyes and I couldn't envision Henry and Lamar just being

1054
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: as seamless as it has been, partly because Henry, I

1055
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: don't know, he's just needs a lot of carries to

1056
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: get going. But it hasn't mattered. I mean they it's

1057
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: just impossible for it to go any better. So yeah,

1058
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,959
Speaker 1: I mean they are currently I would say on pace

1059
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: to have one of the greatest quarterback running back seasons

1060
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: in the history of the league. Good call by you.

1061
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: I had a question, what do you think about the

1062
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: team building philosophy of build everything and then get a quarterback.

1063
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: It seems that nowadays quarterbacks are so important you need

1064
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: to get the best one you can when you have

1065
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: the chance, as opposed to building everything else else up first. Well,

1066
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: I think in the logic of build it up then

1067
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: grab the quarterback assumes like what if you can't find

1068
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback, which, like you know, frame the house, build everything,

1069
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: and then I would say put on the roof. But

1070
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: at this point in time, the the materials for roofs

1071
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: around America in my analogy here is been cut in

1072
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: half and it's very very difficult to find. Or you

1073
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: could just buy the roof materials up front, even though

1074
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: you won't put it on till the very very end,

1075
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 1: and that's an area you would say probably just hey,

1076
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: if I got to get it now, I gotta get

1077
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: it now right. I can't have a house out of

1078
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: roof won't function, Like you can't have a team without

1079
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback. So I think a lot of teams, I

1080
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: think they are less inclined when they look at other

1081
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: positions to for stuff like you know, I like this

1082
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, but I don't know, I don't totally see it.

1083
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: We're like, you know what, this is my favorite player

1084
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: on the board. We need other positions. Let's use the

1085
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Ravens as an example. Last year at the end of

1086
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: the first round, Wiggins. You watch Wiggins play for Clemson,

1087
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: his physicality, his toughness. Their whole thing forever has been like,

1088
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: play like a Raven. That's why they love guys like

1089
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: and Kwon Bolden, Steve Smith. I mean, they're just Derrick Henry.

1090
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: There are just certain players that like, Yeah, the Ravens,

1091
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: their scouting department have always loved this player, and you

1092
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: watch Wiggins, He's their type guy. So there might have

1093
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: been guys on the board like, yeah, we kind of

1094
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: need this position more. We could force this guard here,

1095
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: tackle here, or you know, defensive pass rusher here, but

1096
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: this is our favorite player, and the best teams usually

1097
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: just take the guys they love them. Mopst Well, it's

1098
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: easier to do that with other positions. It's harder, like

1099
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: we just need a quarterback and it's easy to go

1100
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: big picture, Well, we'll just wait till next year. Well

1101
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: what if you said that last year and then you're

1102
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: looking at the quarterback class this year, you're like, I

1103
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: don't really like any of these guys, and we're not

1104
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: drafting one or two. So like the next crew of

1105
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: five guys like, I wouldn't draft any of them. I

1106
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: just don't think there's a right or wrong way to

1107
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: do it. I think the number one key to team building,

1108
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: whether you get the quarterback first, whether you build a

1109
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: team first, is what do you prioritize on your team?

1110
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: And I think the best team builders prioritize two things,

1111
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line in defense. If you have a good

1112
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: offensive line and a good defense, it is so much

1113
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: easier to build the rest of your team around that.

1114
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: I can find running backs. Look at Andy Reid and Veitch.

1115
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: They needed a running back. They just called cream hunt

1116
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 1: at home off the couch and last night He's having

1117
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: huge runs in the fourth quarter of a rainy game

1118
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: against Todd Bowles, one of the best defensive coaches in

1119
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: the league, and Videvea, one of the best defensive linemen

1120
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: in the league. And this is just run his ass off.

1121
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: I can find running backs. I can trade a fifth

1122
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: round pick for DeAndre Hopkins. I cannot find Tray Smith.

1123
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: I cannot find Chris Jones, I cannot find Karlovskis. I

1124
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: cannot find you know, McDuffie, Like, you got to build

1125
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: to me. If my defense is good and my offensive

1126
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: line is good and I have a good coach, we'll

1127
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: figure out the quarterback. Obviously there's a difference between like

1128
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Lamar and Baker, But like, if your team's good enough,

1129
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: like the Bucks, if they were to stay healthy, they

1130
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: can go to the playoffs with Baker Mayfield. So I

1131
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: think it's just about what you philosophically believe in because

1132
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: every year is different. You don't control the inventory coming

1133
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: into the league, Like every year a draft is different.

1134
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: Some drafts it's like, God, this is just a great

1135
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: tight end draft, O lineman suck, And then other years

1136
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: like ah, there's like eight tackles there to go in

1137
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: the top forty, loaded a tackle, loaded at dtackle, loaded

1138
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: at corner, bad quarterback. You just it changes so much

1139
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: year to year. So I just think you have to

1140
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: have a general philosophy of what you value. Like obviously,

1141
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: when you think Andy Reid, you think quarterback and offense.

1142
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: But I would say, historically, look at his best teams,

1143
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: where have they been good offensive line? Defense? He's won

1144
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: a lot of games with teams with not star wide receivers,

1145
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: solid running backs, but his O line was good and

1146
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: his defense was good, and then it's on him to

1147
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: draft a young quarterback and mold it. I think the

1148
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,919
Speaker 1: Ravens has a stained success for a long time because

1149
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: they've been good on defense. Same with the Steelers. Like

1150
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: why did the Steelers never suck? I'll tell you why

1151
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: their defense never sucks. Imagine if the Giants this year,

1152
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: even with their shitty offense, was a top two defense,

1153
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: Guess what, they wouldn't have seven wins, but they wouldn't

1154
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,959
Speaker 1: have two either. They'd probably have like three or four,

1155
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: and they would be much more competitive on a weekly basis.

1156
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: So I think what makes football hard and what makes

1157
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: it fun to talk about is like quarterbacks really matter.

1158
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: You can't win a Super Bowl without a star quarterback,

1159
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: but you can be a good team without a star quarterback.

1160
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: You can be a competitive team with an average offense.

1161
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: It's the ultimate team game. So I think some teams

1162
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: are just clearly well run and other teams feel like

1163
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: lost in the wilderness, and that clearly is not going

1164
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: to change anytime soon. I'll do a much longer mail

1165
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:22,920
