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

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: What is going on? My people? How are we doing?

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: John middlecop Three and Out podcast. We have the owners

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: meetings going on down the street at the Biltmore Hotel

5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: in Phoenix, Arizona, which you know, if Jerry and Craft

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: and Rodge asked me, I might have some other options.

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: But it's a historic hotel. Presidents from back in the sixties, seventies,

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: eighties used to stay there, so it probably has some

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: nostalgic qualities to these guys. And it's big. I mean,

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: it's cool, cool pool scene. But here's the thing. We're

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: going to react to some of the comments today from McVeigh,

Speaker 2: Shanahan's to fans, key some McCarthy. We had a lot

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: of good stuff coming out because all these coaches talked.

00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: At least the NFC guys. Did the AFC guys talk

22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: we'll just keep on ripping. So, uh, let's talk some football.

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: Let's just start with Sean McVay, who admitted today that

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: the story that broke several weeks ago that they were

25
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: shopping Davante Adams wasn't just true, but he had told

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Davante Adams where they stood and if they made a

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: move I eed to trade for aj Brown, that Davante

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: Adams would not be on the team because clearly they're

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: not gonna have Aj Brown. Make it twenty nine million,

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: Davante making close to twenty five million, and Pooka Nakua, who,

31
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: even though he hasn't signed a new contract yet, if

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna keep him around. We just saw the number

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: that that that bears, so they were gonna have to

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: choose one. And to me, that kind of symbolizes the

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: NFL because Davante last year and listen, I'm a DeVante guy.

36
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: I've been following his career since he was a senior

37
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: at Pally High School in northern California. Obviously, is his

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: career at Fresno State speaks for itself, and to me,

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: he's been had a hall of fame level career in

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: the NFL, but he led the league last year in touchdowns.

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Let me repeat that, DeVante Adams led the NFL in touchdowns.

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: Is his resume of winning at the highest level and

43
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: excelling in the playoffs is well established at this point.

44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: Yet the Rams came up short and they went can

45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: we upgrade? And you could argue AJ Brown is younger,

46
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: and listen, last year the quarterback situation was not clearly.

47
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: He didn't play well. AJ Brown doesn't like him personally,

48
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: and their rapport and connection was really off. We're on

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: the flip side. Davonte dealt with some hamstring issues, which

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: he's had over the course of his career, but his

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: connection with Stafford, especially in the red area, was second tont.

52
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you score fourteen touchdowns in a season, it

53
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: doesn't get much better than that. But he only had

54
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: sixty catches. He only had eight hundred yards, and I

55
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: wonder if McVeigh and Les snead are looking at it, like, listen,

56
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: could we short term upgrade, get a younger player and

57
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: go from there. And you know, aj had seventy eight

58
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: catches in a thousand yards, so not one of his

59
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: great seasons. And half as many touchdowns as Davante. But

60
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: the reason that they didn't pull the trigger on the

61
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: AJ Brown trade was kind of like Max Crosby, except

62
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: they had never agreed to terms because they saw what

63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: they needed to see on the information that the Eagles

64
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: sent over in terms of his MRIs and said, we're

65
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: not comfortable with this because they're not going to trade

66
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: an older player who I think one of the reasons

67
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: they would be trading him is they're not quite comfortable.

68
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: Can he stay healthy, can he be consistent? Is he

69
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: still the same level player? And then go with another

70
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: guy who has some injury concerns. But isn't it just

71
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: the NFL? Because my first take would be like, why

72
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: would you mess with something good? Like clearly DeVante from

73
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: a leadership standpoint, from a production standpoint, from a scoring

74
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: point standpoint, doesn't get much better. Yet that's not how

75
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: NFL front offices think, That's not how forward thinking aggressive organizations.

76
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: What can we do better? Can we upgrade here? Does

77
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: this upgrade make sense? Is it worth it? And clearly,

78
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: if AJ Brown's medicals would have been better, I think

79
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: it's safe to say that AJ Brown would currently be

80
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: a RAM and who knows where DeVante Adams would be.

81
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: But here's where I give McVeigh credit because several years ago,

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: when the Jared Goff Stafford thing happened, he did what

83
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: coaches have always done. He went through the media, through

84
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: Mike Silver specifically, and other guys and just kind of

85
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: shit on Jared Goff and it got really ugly, which

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: has happened forever, Still happens in baseball, still happens in basketball,

87
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: still happens in the NFL, And I think he learned,

88
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: like it was kind of embarrassing when he's like, you

89
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: know what, I could just talk to a man de

90
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: man and I can tell you that, like, yeah, we're

91
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 2: having some differences or yeah we are exploring some different

92
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: upgrades here. And ever since then, he's been an open book, like, yeah,

93
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: we told Davante that this might go down. We were

94
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: fully transparent. If you go back to last year during

95
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: the offseason, Sean McVay was like, listen, this is uncomfortable,

96
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: but we have a price point because the way our

97
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: team is built with Matt Stafford. He knows how we

98
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: feel about him, and he knows that what he will

99
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: sign if he wants to keep playing for US will

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: be less than he's actually worth. All this is on

101
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: the table. We're not running from it, we're not hiding

102
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: from it, and we're not playing these fucking games through

103
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: these reporters. We're talking man demand business partner to business partner,

104
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: because ultimately, in football, it's no different than any of

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: our industries. You are in business with these individuals if

106
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: you're a coach and they're a player, if you're a

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: GM and they're a coach, like, you're all in this together.

108
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: And the difference of a lot of our jobs is

109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: so public, and you know, people get very sensitive. Yet

110
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: they have a lot of takes, they have a lot

111
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: of opinions. It's why I've always said when people get

112
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: mad at me, like, listen, everything I've ever said since

113
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: I've been doing this is on record. Get the majority

114
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: of these guys in the league, the comments they give,

115
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: and it's one thing to like, listen, not everyone's gonna

116
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: be open to talk about trades or whatever. I'm talking about.

117
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: The shit they talk through these reporters that then go

118
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: into the articles in the Athletic like you ain't putting

119
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: your name on it, which listen, it's your probative to

120
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: do whatever you want, but until you're putting your name

121
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: on everything, like come on, bro like and Sean McVay

122
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years has put his name

123
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: on everything, and I think he's done a really good job.

124
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: The guy he's become, you know, at forty years old,

125
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: is clearly a lot different than the guy a couple

126
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: of years ago. I saw a quote today he had

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: with Florio and he said this over the last couple

128
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: of years is like in twenty twenty two, if he

129
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: just would have quit after that bad season and gone

130
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: into the media, which would have paid him a ton

131
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: to be Al Michael's right hand guy. I mean, he

132
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: would have made as much, if not more to do

133
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: that working one day a week than working one hundred

134
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: hours a week coaching the rams. He's like, I essentially

135
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: would have quit and tapped out. I would have been

136
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: a quitter. And everything I was about to have a child,

137
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: everything I would try to teach them, I would have

138
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: been a hypocrite. Because the number one thing we all

139
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: want to teach our children at you know, at least

140
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: anyone with you know, any sense of you know, desire

141
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: to have that children go on the right path in life,

142
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: is we don't quit. You know, when times get tough,

143
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: we kind of battle through it. And when you start something,

144
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: you kind of got to finish it. Like that should

145
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: be a pretty consistent lesson that was definitely given to

146
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: my generation. Off to find out as my son gets

147
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: older on around other people, like if that's still a

148
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: message that goes through society, but that is definitely gonna

149
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: be a message in my home when we start. It

150
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you have to do everything, but if you

151
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: are going to start something, you got to see it

152
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: through and just because it doesn't go well doesn't mean

153
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: you can just quit. And I know that's very in

154
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: vogue in this modern day world, and this is the

155
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: pushback in college sports when times get a little tough,

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: people tap out a lot of different variables there because

157
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: there's money involved. But I just I have a lot

158
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: of respect for the way Sean McVay has done business,

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: even though I don't even necessarily agree with this, Like

160
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: are you sure that you want and listen to AJ

161
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: Brown when he's on is an elite player, but he's

162
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: battles some injuries, he can be a little emotional. He's

163
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: not cheap, you know, and it's not like whatever you

164
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: would have traded for him, would have cost you a

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: decent amount. It would have been a pretty risky move.

166
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: But one thing I will always say, I don't have

167
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: to agree with your moves, but I do agree with aggression.

168
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna make aggressive moves, I have to

169
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: respect it. Now, there are aggressive moves that like are reckless,

170
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: Like when they gave to a huge contract, when they

171
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: gave Kyler Murray a big contracts, you didn't need to

172
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: do that. You actually didn't need to get that aggressive.

173
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: You couldn't let it play out. It's where Daniel Jones

174
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: always gets these guys by the balls at the end

175
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: of his contracts, like, well, you're either gonna have to

176
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: franchise me or it's gonna cost you a hundred million dollars.

177
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: And for whatever reason, people always you know, capitulate is

178
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: the bands. But the one thing with the Rams, they

179
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: did it with McDuffie. They just take fucking swings. They

180
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: honestly operate and it doesn't obviously work. I mean all

181
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: the time. They've only won one super Bowl during his

182
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: nine years as the head coach. They've been to a

183
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: couple they were right on the precipice this year of

184
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: getting back to another. But I just think the way

185
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: that they operate is listen, I'm around Lions fans here.

186
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: They get very I would say frustrated with Brad holmes

187
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: lack of aggression. You know, every team you know has

188
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: been some teams lean like Howie Roseman, very aggressive guy.

189
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: I think people are like John Schneider, why aren't you

190
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: more aggressive? It's like, well, I just got to pay

191
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: a wide receiver one hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed

192
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: and give him forty million dollars as a signing bonus.

193
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: I'd say that's pretty aggressive, but you can't make everyone happy.

194
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: And ultimately, DeVante's coming back, and I think it's easier

195
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: to welcome these guys back when you're in these positions

196
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: where you have been honest and transparent with the guy,

197
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: even if he doesn't agree. And that's the one thing

198
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: football still has because it's it's an aggressive, contentious environment

199
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: on a daily basis in the facility, you know you're

200
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: getting pushed, you're getting yelled at, you're getting coach tard.

201
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: So I think these guys are actually more open and

202
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: understanding to hear some tough conversations because they've had to

203
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: have him, you know. So I think that more and

204
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: more organizations now you need some equity, especially established high

205
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: priced players to really tell them what you think. But

206
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: I think it's made Sirianni and how he dealing with

207
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: aj Brown situation much easier. They can be open and

208
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 2: honest with the guy, which they clearly have been on

209
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: the same page as he's a member of the Eagles.

210
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: He's a member of the Eagles and honestly, at this

211
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: at this pace, maybe he stays a member of the

212
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: Eagles because they don't feel inclined to trade him anymore

213
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: than they did over the last couple of weeks. It

214
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a lot of teams are lined up

215
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: to do the deal. The other thing, I didn't see

216
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: mcveigh's comments on this, but Kyle was asked about the

217
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: Australian game and he basically said what we alluded to

218
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: last week, like this is what are we doing? He's like,

219
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: I don't even know if we're gain end of the

220
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: day losing today. I mean, he's kind of being tongue

221
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: in cheek because he's pissed off. I mean, we're playing

222
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: a game in a market that we're not broadcasting too,

223
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: because our broadcast partners are based here in the States,

224
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: so we have to kick off at ten thirty in

225
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: the morning after a nineteen hour flight when we're playing

226
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: a team that is separated by a forty ish minute

227
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: plane flight. So I am not against international games. I

228
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: do think there is a line, and it does feel

229
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: and I'm very pro Australia, like Great Sports Town, it

230
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: does feel like this is one of those that it's like,

231
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: are we kind of crossing the line here? Not that

232
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: Roger cares, not that the front office cares, not that

233
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: you know. This is why Belichick used to always be

234
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: a pain at these events and never be in the

235
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: coaching photo and would always you know, piss people off

236
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: and raise these different ideas because he always felt that

237
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: the people Roger and that crew in New York City

238
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: couldn't relate to the coaches in the they had never

239
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: run a team, they had never coached a team, most

240
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: of them obviously never played in the NFL, and that

241
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: there was a disconnect of all you care about is

242
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: the business, even if it goes against what makes the

243
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: sport of football. Coaching football, the players of football, makes

244
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: what goes into their job easier or it makes it

245
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: more difficult on them, and they clearly didn't care. And

246
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: that's where the owners are kind of caught in this

247
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: weird spot. They're kind of playing both sides because the

248
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: end of the day, they're always going to side with

249
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: the league office if it's bringing in more revenue. But

250
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: this Australian game, this is gonna be a point of

251
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: conversation up until kickoff because these guys, whoever lose that

252
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: game is gonna be bitching and moaning. Had a kickoff

253
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: early nineteen hour flight home, huge divisional rivalry with two

254
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 2: teams who by the time we get to Week one

255
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: are going to be two. You know, the Rams might

256
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: be legitimately favored the number one Fire to win the

257
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And depending on how this Niners draft goes

258
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: and over the next couple of months, who they add

259
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: like they'll be a top six or seven team in

260
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: the betting odds. And you're making them fly fucking how

261
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: many time zones away the different day. It doesn't make

262
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: much sense, but it is what it is. Today's show

263
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,840

265
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: and college football here, but we got four teams left

266
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: in college basketball. Clearly the big favorite is gonna come

267
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: out of the Arizona Michigan game. But do not sleep

268
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,000

293
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: saw Mike Lafleur, who uh they had on the coaching photo,

294
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: Mike and Matt next to Jim and John and anyone

295
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: that's been around Jim. I mean, he's just he's in

296
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: alpha 's Alpha. So you put those two guys a

297
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: little smaller net next to Jim. You know, it's kind

298
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: of it's tough. You know, it is what it is.

299
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: But I thought Mike, on his Kyler Murray comment, said,

300
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes changes are good for everyone involved. And

301
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of truth to that, you know,

302
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: and like, listen, not all divorces are awful sometimes, Like, hey,

303
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: guys don't like each other. You want the health of

304
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: your your future relationship as parents to your children. Like

305
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: you guys shouldn't live together anymore. You guys don't want

306
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: to sleep together anymore. Like divorces can be healthy. I've

307
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: been fired twice, best thing that ever happened to me,

308
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: And I understand when you get relieved of your duties

309
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: or when someone dumps you, it can be very, very emotional.

310
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: But looking back and listen, I've had time to think

311
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: on this. Why would you ever want to work for

312
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: some place or person or company that doesn't want you there?

313
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: You would never want that. Why would you ever want

314
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't like you?

315
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: So the Kayler Murray thing had run its course. It's

316
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: like the Tuatanga Bailoa thing had run its course. We

317
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: see it happen every year, where people break up and

318
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: guys get a new lease on life. Now I listen,

319
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: we'll dive into tua here in a second. I don't

320
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: believe this is gonna work, but we've definitely seen crazier

321
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: Ie Sam Donold a couple of years ago. No one

322
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: saw that coming Now, I do think it's going to

323
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: be more difficult for ky to just go to Minnesota

324
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: and thrive. They got Jefferson, they just picked up Jordan

325
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: Adison's fifth year option. They're gonna have offensive pieces. They got,

326
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: you know, an offensive play caller who's obviously excellent. But

327
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 2: the difference of him and Sam is like, Sam's a

328
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: pocket quarterback. Sam is fucking enormous. I saw him at

329
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: the gym two years ago at the Super Bowl, him

330
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: and Jared Goff walked right next to each other. It's

331
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: like those guys are like basically six or five each.

332
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: It's much easier to see over the line of scrimmage

333
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: when you're that or five to nine. I'm very similar

334
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: height to Kyler Murray. If you put me behind Trent

335
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: Williams or Lane Johnson or Pinay Suwl, much more difficult

336
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: for me to see than a guy that's six foot four.

337
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: And I just think that this notion that he's gonna

338
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: go there and it's gonna go well, I don't see it.

339
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: But I also understand that when you get thrown in

340
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: the mud and you're told you're not good enough, it's

341
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: you know, you get two choices in life. You either

342
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: got a fight or flight. Now it's a little different.

343
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: It's not like he's fighting for his NFL career. In

344
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: terms of money, He's being paid thirty six million dollars

345
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: this year, so it'd be one thing. I like, he's

346
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: only making a million dollars and he has to prove

347
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: that he's still, you know, a fifteen to twenty thirty

348
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: million dollar quarterback. He's rich this year. Same thing with Tua,

349
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: like their their direct deposits are enormous. So we'll see

350
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: how it goes. But I think for any player that

351
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: when a new administration shows up there and you get cut,

352
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: like if that doesn't motivate you, nothing will. Ta Tonguo

353
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: i Loow is going to be the starter a week

354
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: one for the Atlanta Falcons. Stefanski said this morning that

355
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: the quarterback competition is no different than any other positions.

356
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: Everyone's competing for every job. He also, you know, prefaced

357
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: by saying, obviously the quarterback competition is impacted by the

358
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: health of Pennix who is currently injured, which I actually

359
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: think is even a bigger advantage for Tua. I would

360
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: stake my claim right now now the two is going

361
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: to be the starting quarterback Week one. And I also

362
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: think Stefanski, who comes into this new organization, he has

363
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: no equity. If Tua just starts and looks bad, he's

364
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: gonna take a lot of shit because people are gonna

365
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: go I get tools cheap. But do you have any

366
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: clue what a good quarterback looks like? Do you? Because

367
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: we just saw you draft this little left hand or

368
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: a year ago who most people thought was an undrafted

369
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: free agent at best in Tua, who most people think

370
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: hasn't been able to play for a couple of years

371
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: since he got his seventeenth concussion. You immediately gravitated toward

372
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: because you think those guys can excel in your offense.

373
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: Where it's like this is still pro football. So even

374
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: if you know where to go with the football, and

375
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: you know like one, two, three, get rid of the

376
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: ball and if my first read is not there, I

377
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 2: get to my second read. If your arm strength stinks,

378
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 2: if you can't move like this thing, like the Kindler thing,

379
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't believe in it, but there's definitely a scenario

380
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: where I can see that I could see where it

381
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: being a little bit electric and them being decent. I

382
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: don't think they'd be as good as they wore a

383
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: couple of years ago with Sam Darnold. But I can

384
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: see them being decent. I can't see Tua and the

385
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons and Stefanski in twenty twenty six working out

386
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: at all. It is funny that, speaking of the Falcons,

387
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: everyone just thinks Cousins is shotfighter Old Guy Achilles can't

388
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: play anymore. Gudakins today were like, we would love Kirk

389
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: Cousins to be our backup. Sean McVeigh looked in the

390
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: camera at ESPN that he was sitting with Schreger and

391
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: was like, Kirk, if you're listening to this, we want you.

392
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: The Raiders are clearly campaigning to make Cousins the backup

393
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: for Fernando Mendoza. It shows you as you age, and

394
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: this is I I think I alluded to Derek Carr

395
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: about this a little bit. Cousins has made three hundred

396
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: million dollars, but he could have now like a three

397
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: or four year career and bank another twenty thirty million dollars.

398
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: The real world places aren't paying that even if you're

399
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: like a high up dude, and some of these banks

400
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: in these finance worlds, like you ain't getting a W

401
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: two job that's paying the eight million dollars. You know.

402
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: So I think Cousins has an incredible opportunity right now

403
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: because all these guys, think about it started with Shanahan,

404
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: then he went to McVeigh, then he went to Stefanski

405
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: last year, you know, the last couple of years in Atlanta,

406
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: they their play caller was his name escapes me right now,

407
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: but he was a McVeigh guy running that offense. Well,

408
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: think about the NFL now, it's like fifty percent running

409
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: that offense. So Cousin knows it. High character guy, smart

410
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: guy can help you learn. Future broadcaster. Probably a pretty

411
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: tough decision because if your cousins you go. If I

412
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: agree to let's say a two year, fifteen million dollar

413
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: deal with the Raiders, I'm basically just going there to

414
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 2: mentor Fernando Mendoza, but more than likely this year. You know,

415
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 2: even if things go well, we'd probably win seven eight games.

416
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: The next year we'd have some hopes to try to

417
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: compete for a wild card. So it's like I'm taking

418
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: the money, but we're not gonna win even as a

419
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: backup if I go to the Packers, right, I think

420
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: he is he from Wisconsin obviously played at Michigan State.

421
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: He played it obviously, the Vikings, you know, has has

422
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: connections to that part of the country. They could be

423
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: pretty good and you could be part with Lafleur, you

424
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: know the offense. He's been your quarterback coach before Sean McVay,

425
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: who was basically begging you to come there as the backup.

426
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: A little bit of a culture change, right, he spent

427
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: so much time Minnesota, Washington, now Atlanta, going across the

428
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: country in Los Angeles. But I would imagine there are

429
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: other options for him as well. So it's pretty crazy

430
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: how you can go from everyone making fun of you

431
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: to what feels like the number one backup. And I

432
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: also think when McVeigh is going, Kirk, come give me

433
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: a call, because like, hey, Jimmy Garoppolo, your contract offers

434
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: on the table, either fucking sign it or we're just

435
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: gonna rip it up. Robin Is he can't say that

436
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: because he doesn't have any other options, and he's basically

437
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: telling you, like they don't believe in Seedson Bennett, who

438
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: I still think is one of the crazier draft picks

439
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: in the fifth round that I can remember. Jimmy Haslam

440
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, a couple of years ago, I think

441
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: it was a year ago, he called the Deshaun Watson

442
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 2: trade a swing in a miss, which was clearly factual.

443
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 2: They'd given a bunch of first rounders, they paid him

444
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: a historic contract, and DeShawn Watson, who at the time

445
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: was injured but even before that, was objectively terrible, who

446
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: had went from a really good player with the Texans

447
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: who then got in trouble for the uh massage Robin

448
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: Tuggs to becoming the worst quarterback in the NFL. Well,

449
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: now he's changing his tunes saying he'd go from a

450
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: swing and a miss to a home run with Todd Munkin,

451
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: and I think they got to this point where they

452
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: just refused to eat the money almost where he was

453
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: so stubborn. He's like, I spent all this money on

454
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: this guy. I'm not gonna send them backing like the

455
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos did with Russell Wilson, changed their franchise, like

456
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins are trying to do with Tua, hoping

457
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: to change their franchise. And for whatever reason, he was

458
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: just so headstrong because he's probably mad at himself because

459
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: he was the guy that okayed it and then signed

460
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: the contract because no one would have given a fully

461
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: guaranteed contract as a GM or a coach. The owner

462
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: was the guy leading the charge that he's just held

463
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: on for so long, and I do think it could

464
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 2: get worse now. He might also say, well, I'm paying

465
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: the guy. We don't have any other options. We saw

466
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: Shador play last year that didn't go well, and we've

467
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: seen Todd with the more mobile quarterback, even though DeShawn

468
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years hasn't really played that

469
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: mobile of a gay and now he's coming off of

470
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: torn Achilles. I feel for Browns fans it's gonna be

471
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: really ugly. I saw McCarthy, who listen, I love to

472
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: eat McCarthy for a guy that like takes Usually when

473
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: a guy takes a year off, it's like you see

474
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 2: him again, Like God, I got slim down a little bit.

475
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: He's been he's been eating healthy, he's been getting good

476
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: night's sleep. Mixed in a couple of sounds, McCarthy gets

477
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: bigger when he takes his year off. I mean, you

478
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: see him. I saw him on the set with McAfee.

479
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: He big boy man. He's gotta be pushing like three

480
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: point fifty. But he said that he talks to Aaron

481
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: Rodgers all the time, that Aaron Rodgers been talking to

482
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: the coaches. I'm recording this, you know, McCarthy's gonna talk

483
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: on Tuesday morning. But I do think it's fair to say,

484
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: did they're pretty confident like last year that Aaron Rodgers

485
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: gonna be the quarterback? Now? Does that impact them to

486
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: draft a guy in the third or the fourth round

487
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 2: to go then get Will Howard, Garrett nus Meyer and

488
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and just have some options and let you know,

489
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: Garrett nus Meyer and Will Howard battle it out and

490
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: train a camp. That would probably be my guest. But

491
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: watching McCarthy talk today, I think it's fair to assume

492
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers is going to be there some other

493
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: things going on. Dan Campbell essentially said that Pinasules moving

494
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: to left tackle, which I mean, it is really really

495
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: nice to have, and that the Chargers have this with

496
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: Joel a guy that can play their position, and once

497
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: you go to left tackle, you probably never go back.

498
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: But having the ability to start those guys at right tackle,

499
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: having them be Pro Bowl, all Pro level players, and

500
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: just knowing in your back pocket, if you've got to

501
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: make changes, if a guy retires, if you've got to

502
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: cut somebody, if you've got to move things around, that

503
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: guy can always swing around. Because that's not always the

504
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: case for everybody. Not everyone can play both sides right.

505
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: Not every left guard can play right guard right. Not

506
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: every right guard can also mix in and play center.

507
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: And having positioned versatility, even as a great player, which

508
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 2: Sewell is a great player, is the reason you draft

509
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 2: him really high in pay him a bunch of money.

510
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan said that we need to lessen the wear

511
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: and tear on Christian McCaffrey. It's like, Kyle, you're the

512
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: one that never takes him out. It's like, well, Christian

513
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 2: never wants to come out of the game. He's not

514
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: the coach. You're the one that rides that guy like

515
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: a secretariat in the fourth quarter of a game that

516
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: you're up twenty points or down twenty points. You're the

517
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: guy that rides them. Which I understand. You love them,

518
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: you love the running game. He's by far your best

519
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: running back. But there is not a position in the

520
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: league that is easier to find just a rotational backup

521
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: than a backup running back. I mean, there are a

522
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: ton of teams in the NFL who's backup running back

523
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: could be a starter, let alone the majority of teams

524
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL that just like their backup running back

525
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: just a solid player. And for whatever reason, since McCaffrey

526
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: has got there, the forty nine ers do out fucked

527
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: with the number two. Give him a carry here, carry there.

528
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: But even if he has a big moment, that guy

529
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: never has a game where he's getting fifteen catches when

530
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: McCaffrey is also healthy and playing. So I don't know

531
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: if if Kyle's gonna change. You know, historically Leopards don't

532
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: really change their spots, right, Kyle's been doing this for

533
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: a long time. And when you watch he runs, you know,

534
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: a running back like this guy, he runs him into

535
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: the ground. But he's not wrong. You know, McCaffrey a

536
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: bunch of injuries, older player, even going back to college,

537
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: Like between the tackles, this guy's taking a lot of hits,

538
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: a lot of pounding, and we've seen a lot of

539
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: guys over the course of the last ten to fifteen

540
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: to twenty years. That drop off can happen quick. So

541
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: if I'm the forty nine ers, I think long and hard.

542
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: If I'm not comfortable with any of the running backs

543
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: on my roster, I draft a guy in the second round,

544
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: draft a guy in the third round, and just but

545
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: you got to play him. It doesn't make sense to

546
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: draft a running back, you know, in the th round,

547
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: and then the guy gets you know, six touches in

548
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: a month. So if you are gonna do that, you

549
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: do have to commit to that. And it always gets

550
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: back to, well, Christian never wants to come out of

551
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: the game. Well, no, shit, he doesn't want to come

552
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: out of the game. I don't blame him, and I

553
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: respect it, but it's kind of on you because you

554
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: can just tell him, Christian, you're out. So and So's

555
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: in the proposal for the draft picks being five years out.

556
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: I think the Browns threw that out there. Sean McVay

557
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: said that has a zero chance of passing. I think

558
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: that's been yanked because it was clear no one who's

559
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: going to vote for it, which I think makes less

560
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: sense in the NFL than it does in the NBA. Right,

561
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: if I'm an NBA team and I have a star

562
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: guy who's under twenty eight years old, unless he has

563
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: a major injury, in a given season. I'm never going

564
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: to be that bad. We're in the NFL, like Patrick

565
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: Mahomes towards acl the end of the season and they

566
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: went six and eleven, Like you just never know. Two

567
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: years ago the forty nine ers went six and eleven.

568
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: You just have weird shit happening all the time. It's football.

569
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: The Patriots won four games and the next year they

570
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: were the two seed. Football's very fickle even without injuries,

571
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: let alone with the injuries. So if I was an owner,

572
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even want to give us the options because

573
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: you could be sitting there in the offseasons like, hey,

574
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: you know they said in four years, give it your

575
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: number one and number two picks, and you could have

576
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: so and so player. You're like, fuck it, do it,

577
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: and then that season, all of a sudden, you win

578
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: five games. You're like, I regret that one, and that

579
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: player is not even in your team anymore. That's the

580
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: other thing is because these contracts. I mean last year

581
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: the Rams signed DeVante Adams to like twenty five million

582
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 2: dollars a year. He scores fourteen touchdowns and they try

583
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: to trade him. Like the football, the pace in which

584
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: the roster transaction and turnovers. It's just faster than any

585
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: other league. But I did want to hit on a

586
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: couple things. The coach's photo. For those of you listening

587
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: on the audio, you might need to pull this up.

588
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm always fascinated by the positioning typically the alphas for

589
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: a long time. You know, I think Coach Reid when

590
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: he was winning Super Bowls. It's like, I run this

591
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: league now as Bill was getting phased out, and he's

592
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: kind of chill now, Like he's in the back. He's

593
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: standing next to Shanahan and Zach Taylor and behind Joe

594
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: Brady like he's got nothing to prove he's got a

595
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: bad knee. He's just like, I'll come for this photo

596
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: that I'm out. I'm not trying to sit in front

597
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: and center. I will let the Hardbob brothers and the

598
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: Lafloor brothers have the front of this photo. Which is cool.

599
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: You get the two sets of brothers. That is cool.

600
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald. Most of these guys are wearing like some

601
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: sort of nicer button up, maybe like a Viory Travis

602
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: Matthews type pullover slash collared shirt. Even like Sala has

603
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: on like a nice kind of well fit hoodie. Some

604
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: guys like John Harbaugh has a Giants Nike polo. Mike

605
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: McDonald is just wearing jeans, tennis shoes and a T shirt.

606
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: Like Mike McDonald if this was nine o'clock at night,

607
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: could easily go to the Circle of Death, where all

608
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: the nightclubs are in old town Scottsdale, and buy a

609
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: booth and hold it down buying bottles. Rabel looks much

610
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 2: more like I'm ready to go to a major, like

611
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: very important meeting. He's got your classic loafers, no socks,

612
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: well fitting pants. Just kind of looks like an alpha

613
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: sitting next to Sean Payton, who's wearing shorts. But I

614
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: think Rabel wants to show them like if you're gonna

615
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: spread your legs, I'm gonna spread my legs a little

616
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: bit wider. Halfley, well put together guy. Not ideal when

617
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: you're smaller to sit next to Rabel mintor who. For

618
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: whatever reason, I didn't really know what he looked like

619
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: I saw him at the combine. Typically, when you think

620
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: defensive guys, you know, you think like Demiko, you think Vrabel,

621
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: you just think like tough Sala, you know, just like

622
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: I'm not fucking with that guy. You know, even Dan

623
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: Campbell and Harbaugh there they were tight end and and quarterback,

624
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: but like they're kind of defensive minded guys. You know

625
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: it's big alphas. Mintor looks like like a computer science nerd.

626
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: That's what he looks like. Yeah, he's a great defensive coach.

627
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen has this vibe like kind of too cool

628
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: for school, don't really want to be here. McCarthy just

629
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: listen again. I'm not trying to rip on fat people.

630
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: I can become very fat and very quickly. He just

631
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: needs to mixing some healthy foods like you can't. Charles

632
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: Barkley has been saying this forever. They just aren't fat.

633
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: Old be In Macarty ain't forty eight. So you get

634
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: into your mid sixties, Like if you look at coach Reid,

635
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: he looks dramatically slimmer, because as you get older, like

636
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 2: you want to maintain this, you gotta be careful about

637
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: what you throw in there. Shane Siken's hairline is just

638
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: you know, receding faster, you know by the year. Kevin

639
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: O'Connell ain't far behind him there. Dan Campbell felt like, hey,

640
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 2: I gotta go professional. He's probably wearing like a four

641
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: x collared shirt just because I mean, Dan Campbell's normal

642
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: size is probably two or three Sirian. He looks like

643
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: he's ready to go play golf. Ben Johnson just looks miserable.

644
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: One thing I appreciate about Ben Johnson. I've been working

645
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 2: on this myself. I told my wife, like, I just

646
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: wake up. I'm not happy when I wake up. It's

647
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: not a reflection of you, but like once you have

648
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: a child, you gotta be very cognizant, Like you can't.

649
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: I thrive in a bad mood, but those around you,

650
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: they feed off me. I kind of set the tone

651
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: for the house, and it's like I really wore wake

652
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: it up happy, Like just trying to be a happy

653
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: person in the morning. I don't know. I just I

654
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: do better work when I'm just angry in the morning.

655
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: And when I say angry, I'm just I'm not always

656
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 2: gonna smile at six thirty in the morning. But like

657
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: your personality, your personality, and Ben Johnson just hasn't really

658
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: faked it. You just look at that photo. It's like,

659
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: I'm here, I kind of have to do this, but

660
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: this is not really my social scene. Joe Brady sneaky

661
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: bigger than you think when I saw him. I don't

662
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: know if you would have asked me what size do

663
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: you think Joe Brady was, I would have been like

664
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: five to eleven, a buck eighty five, like just a

665
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: normal looking, kind of athletic white dude. Look at this

666
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: picture of him next to Stefanski and little Lafloor. I

667
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: mean he looks like he's Ray Lewis compared to those

668
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 2: guys in terms of size, so underrated. How big Joe

669
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: Brady is and uh, Brian Schottenheimers got a big smile.

670
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: I appreciate a guy with a big smile. And that's

671
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 2: where if you go to the general manager photo, there

672
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 2: is not a bigger smile. You would think, biggest smile,

673
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: John Schneider got a good smile, John Snyder's happy. The

674
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: biggest smile is Howie Roseman. You'd think, like, oh, they

675
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: just lost in the first round. He's gotta say, Harry

676
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: Roseman's got the vibe of I'm the best in the league.

677
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: And if for whatever reason my organization ever turned on

678
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 2: me and like wanted to get rid of me, half

679
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: these guys in this photo with me, their owners would

680
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: fire to hire me, and I know it. They know it.

681
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: We all know. I mean how he's just He's like

682
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: a big and shit man. Just huge smile. John Lynch.

683
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 2: There are guys in this photo. Again, I do this

684
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: for a living. Most of my friends in the NFL

685
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: are personnel people, our scouts or you know, assistant gms.

686
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 2: There are people in this photo. I have no clue

687
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 2: who they are. Like, there is a guy between Brett

688
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: Veach and Adam Peters, this bald guy. I do not

689
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: know who. I have no clue. There's a guy standing

690
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: next to Ballard at the end. It goes Ian Cunningham

691
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard. I have no clue. There's a guy we

692
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: got Brandon Bean and Joe Shane who worked together, you

693
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: know in Buffalo, standing next to Joe Ortiz. Another guy

694
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: at the end of the next to them. I don't

695
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: know who it is. I have no clue. Nick Cassario,

696
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans GM, I'd be fascinated to see his

697
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: diet because there is no way he's eating fried foods.

698
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: He's not eating processed sugars. He's not even sneaking in

699
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: a dorito here and there. This guy is eating grilled chicken.

700
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: This guy's eating brown rice. This guy's eating greens, this

701
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: guy's eating green shakes. This guy's eating like high quality proteins.

702
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: I am much closer to the body types of the

703
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: two guys you see next to him, Mike Borganzi and

704
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: Brian Gudikins, who to me just have like the ideal

705
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: male body in your late forties. And the thing I

706
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: appreciated about Gutikins, my dad loved to fish, love to

707
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: fly fish. That was like my version of playing golf.

708
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: He liked to fish. I got. I don't. I'm not

709
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 2: a big fisherman, too bored and like I've gone deep

710
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: sea fishing a couple times in my life. I get

711
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: you sick. So it's just not a sport hobby for me.

712
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: But my dad used to wear, you know, sunglasses, the

713
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: polarized one so we could see the trout with the

714
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: with the string connected and typically you know, you see

715
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: it like an older gentleman. Gudigins is rocking that thing

716
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: at the GM photo. He just got the string behind

717
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 2: his glasses, which shows you like, I'm all about business.

718
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm just here to try to improve the Green Bay Packers,

719
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: which I appreciate it. You got spy tech kind of

720
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: right behind Eric DaCosta that at any moment maybe wants

721
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: to give him a quick shove. You got Ryan Poles

722
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 2: who just kind of looks like, you know, former tackle

723
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: Dan Morgan kind of understated I was, by far beside Lynch,

724
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 2: the biggest badass in this photo. Ian Cunningham, big smile,

725
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 2: Joe Shane sneaky, big smile, like, hey, I kept my job, motherfuckers,

726
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: none of you thought I would. I am still here.

727
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 2: Do not sleep on my survival instincts. Uh yeah. Other

728
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: than that, you got you got Gladstone next to Beach

729
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 2: at the end that are like, I'm not a big socializer,

730
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 2: like I don't. I'm awkward in these situations, which which

731
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 2: I can appreciate. We're all sometimes more comfortable in certain environments. Gladstone,

732
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: the Jags GM, feels the most comfortable in his office,

733
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: door closed, seven monitors going statistics, all sorts of shit

734
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 2: going on the different screens. You put Gladstone in a

735
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: situation where everyone's you know, conversating, everyone, maybe having a cocktail,

736
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: everyone just talking about life and their family and their teams.

737
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: Not where he thrives. This guy became a GM and

738
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: didn't even work at the office. He lived in a

739
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: different state, worked at home. This is your classic millennial

740
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: work from home. You put in the environment. You know,

741
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: the Howie's, the John Lynches, the john Snyders. Those guys

742
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 2: came up when you worked around other people. Gladstone thrived

743
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: in this new environment where no one could point him

744
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: out of the lineup because no one ever saw him.

745
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: He never showed up at the office. And now he's

746
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: in charge of a playoff team. But you get him

747
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: in this environment, you can just see very awkward, just

748
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 2: not comfortable with it and doesn't quite know what to do.

749
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 2: You know, you got Elliott Wolf and Andrew Berry. Everyone

750
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: tells me Andrew Berry's really smartest team is just guy.

751
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 2: I feel for him. I mean, you're just the head coat,

752
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: You're the gentle manager of the Browns. Maybe it's just

753
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: a no win situation. Da Costa, I'm telling you, just

754
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 2: not the happiest, go lucky guy. I mean, he's just

755
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: Da Costa, which I which I could appreciate. Like sometimes

756
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: you just like I can't even fake it. I'm just

757
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 2: not a happy individual, a little awkward. Spike Deck's gonna

758
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: want to grab me after this, and just kind of

759
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: go over some things. So he said he heard rumors

760
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: out there on the streets, and again back to John Schneider.

761
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: I just won the fucking Super Bowl, motherfuckers. That's me.

762
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: I fired Pete a couple of years. I'm in charge.

763
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: I'm the champion. And yeah, see you guys later at

764

Speaker 2: night for dinner. Can I tell you about my friends

765
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 2: at Ethos. As someone that just had a child a

766
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: couple months ago, you started thinking big picture. You start thinking,

767
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, worst case scenarios and when

768
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: you become a parent. Life insurance is something that you

769
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: never really wanted to think about, but you really have

770
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: no choice, and it's really really important and something I'm

786
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 2: the show, I said I was gonna do a Dad Diaries.

787
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 2: My mother in law was in town last week, and

788
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I fly around whatever she wants to go.

789
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 2: As Jennifer, you tell me when where you want first class,

790
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: you want a PJ, I'll do whatever it takes. We

791
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 2: need you here. And she's the best. And so she

792
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: was here and Jacket had been like a lot of

793
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: young kids, I guess, or young babies. Young infants have

794
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: like reflex So you feed the milk and then it's

795
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 2: sometimes like he seems fine, and like thirty minutes later

796
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: he'll start kind of like he's got stuff in his throat.

797
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: And that's why you gotta burp them. And they have

798
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: all these different techniques where you kind of put them

799
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 2: on the bed, you bend them around, You can put

800
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: them on your knee and go up and down and

801
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: you will get the gas if you use gas drops

802
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: and you get these big burps, and then if he

803
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 2: burps a couple of times or he has a fart,

804
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 2: he then is a huge smile and he's completely fine.

805
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: So we were burpling him. We had a couple of

806
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 2: weeks stretch where it was just bad and at night

807
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: sometimes you would feed him, you know, at three in

808
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: the morning, and he couldn't go back to bed because

809
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: he had this crazy reflex. So she's with him from

810
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 2: like three in the morning to five in the morning,

811
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 2: just trying to get him down because he can't lay

812
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 2: on his back because he's got stuff coming out all

813
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: the different ends. And my mother in law comes here

814
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: and she has no issues. She's like, put him in

815
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 2: my room. He can sleep through the night, like, well,

816
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: he hasn't been sleeping that well, he's had this crazy

817
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 2: reflex back to back night. It's no problems. And then

818
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: we started watching her the way she burped him. We

819
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: were attacking him. It was almost like you were beating

820
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: your child, because you're you're hitting him on the back

821
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 2: really hard, trying to get these burps out and kind

822
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: of working them up, and she just did these subtle

823
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 2: little taps like I'm telling you, very very light on

824
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 2: his back, and he would just have these enormous belches.

825
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is muscle memory. You came and just

826
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 2: immediately touched his back and got burps. Where we have

827
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: been almost mentally breaking down here because we couldn't figure

828
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 2: it out. Probably hitting him too hard. It not only

829
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 2: not working, it was probably driving the gas bubbles into

830
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: a spot that couldn't go out either end. God, that

831
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 2: was genius. So over the last since he's left, over

832
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: the last four or five days, it's doing light, little

833
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 2: pit taps. He's burping left and right and no issues.

834
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: So word of the wise, you don't have to hit

835
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 2: very hard on their back to get them to burp.

836
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: A question for the pod diehard Minnesota fan with the

837
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: Vikings firing, QUESSI for poor drafts? Why should I? Why

838
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: should I be excited for the upcoming twenty sixth draft

839
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: when his whole scouting department is still in the building

840
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: with love a breakdown? How you think the next month

841
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: plays out? It's always you know that one's tricky, right,

842
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: because I would imagine their scouting staff has little to

843
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: no juice. The guys who are gonna pick the players

844
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 2: in this upcoming draft are Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores.

845
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: Even the guy that got elevated to become the GM

846
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: wasn't he just the contract negotiator so he's basically just

847
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 2: there to run the meetings where Ryan Grickson, who was

848
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: the number two in charge, I mean, his history of

849
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: draftings kind of speaks for itself. So in in defense

850
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 2: of him, you know, by all accounts, QUESSI just wasn't

851
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: that big on draft meetings, wasn't that big on you know,

852
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 2: a lot of things, and clearly wasn't listening to anybody.

853
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: But I would say that you just got to hope

854
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 2: and pray that Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores know how

855
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: to evaluate, because I think you are going to get

856
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 2: a heavy dose of their influence in this draft. I

857
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 2: think it's less about the scouts than it is about

858
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: who's pulling the trigger on your first, second, third round pick.

859
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: Am I not for thinking the Bengals will make the

860
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl next year. The Ravens and Bills have first

861
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: year coaches. Mahomes are returning from a serious injury. There's

862
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 2: lots of question marks around Stroud. The Broncos and the

863
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: Pats will have a harder schedule in twenty six and

864
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers can't stay healthy. Surely the Bengals defense is

865
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: ranked like seventeenth best. That could be good enough to

866
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 2: win the ANFC. To me, I would need to know

867
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: two things. How many games does Joe Burrow play? And

868
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 2: who do they draft with the with the twelfth pick

869
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 2: or whenever they have the tenth they have the tenth pick,

870
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: like who's their first round pick? If you tell me

871
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: those two things, I'd be like yeah, because if you

872
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 2: say Joe Burrow, if you like, he plays ten games,

873
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: I'd be like, they're not. If you tell me he

874
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 2: plays seventeen or sixteen and you tell me they pick

875
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: a player, They're like, damn, they got Ruben Bain or

876
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: they got Caleb Downs. Yeah, they're def could be dramatically better.

877
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: But to me, it all comes down to how many

878
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 2: games a borough play, because I mean last year he

879
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: just disappeared for the majority of the season. It's no

880
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: one's fault. I mean, freak injury, but it's happened before.

881
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: Previous year was the wrist or guys that was two

882
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: years ago now came keep up. I mean he's just

883
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 2: he's had a lot of injuries and defensively, like do

884
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: they add a defensive lineman with the high pick or

885
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: they had a corner, they had a defensive back. I

886
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 2: don't know. Do you think the Colts would sign Cousins

887
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: in case Daniel Jones isn't ready to start the season.

888
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: I feel like the best situation for Cousins left. Yeah,

889
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: I mean I I think he's got a lot of options.

890
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 2: I think he has a lot of options. Shane Stikett

891
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: in that bald head of his I don't know who

892
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 2: they're backup court. I guess they have Riley Leonard. I

893
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 2: would imagine there's going to go into the season with

894
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Riley Leonard would be my guest. Do you

895
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: think garretts Smeier might end up being the steal of

896
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 2: the draft? He had a rough twenty five but apparently

897
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 2: was playing through several injuries. What round would you feel

898
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: comfortable drafting him if you were a GM? Well, clearly

899
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 2: he had the I think it was the abdominal injury

900
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: last year because coming into the season, Listen I had

901
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: watched a lot of his career up to that point,

902
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 2: which was basically the one year because Jayden Daniels was

903
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 2: the quarterback the previous year, but he was good in

904
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: twenty four, but the injury. I mean, he just didn't

905
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 2: play that well. And he's not to me, his skill

906
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: set is kind of Kirk Cousins. Not a very mobile guy,

907
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: timing rhythm, pocket quarterback right, He's he's kind of a

908
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 2: throwback of the Cousins Jared Goff, like those players don't

909
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: really exist. So once he gets an abdominal injury, his

910
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 2: accuracy is off. He's not mobile to begin with. Their

911
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: offensive line was kind of hit or miss, which is

912
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 2: crazy because they've had some, you know, high draft to

913
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: players and they couldn't run the ball under Brian Kelly.

914
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: That's what doesn't make sense to me at LSU and

915
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 2: at Alabama, Like you can't run the ball like typically

916
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: you guys should both have a running back who's going

917
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 2: to be drafted in the first two rounds and a

918
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 2: ton of NFL offensive linemen and an NFL tight end,

919
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: Like you should dominate in the run game. That should

920
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: be like your specialty. You're not Texas Tech or Mike

921
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 2: Leach at Washington State. What are you doing? I don't

922
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 2: quite understand it. But in specifically Brian Kelly like the

923
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 2: boor wants to pass Brian Kelly like you look back

924
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame like they were a running offense, run

925
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 2: the ball, play defense. My guest is Garrett nus Meyer

926
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 2: go somewhere third or the fourth round. I would be hesitant.

927
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: In the NFL, We're living in two draft quarterbacks who

928
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 2: can't move like I would be pretty pro like. I

929
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 2: need athletic guys. Not talking Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray,

930
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: but you've gotta be at most of these offensive linemen

931
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: can't really block right and there if all these teams

932
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 2: have a ton of pass rushers, I need my gott

933
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 2: to be able to move around. So I he's not

934
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: really my type quarterback, though I do appreciate and I think

935
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 2: he's a pretty solid player. I hear this house of

936
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 2: cards logic from Coward and Klatt when they slurp the

937
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 2: Big Ten as the superior conference to the SEC. But

938
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 2: if you do a simple research of the past three years,

939
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: the SEC dominates head to head regular season in college

940
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: football games against the Power four twenty three and through

941
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: twenty five data the SEC versus the ACC, the SEC

942
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: versus the Big Ten, twelve and six, the SEC versus

943
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: the Big twelve, eight and five. I'll give you the

944
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 2: Big ten may have the singular best team the past

945
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: two seasons for sure, but the conference as a whole.

946
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 2: Oh please. And for the people crying about bowl games,

947
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: go wake your mom to tell her you wet the

948
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 2: bet again. I do think it's fair to say these

949
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 2: bowl games are very hit or miss, and you have

950
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 2: to take it like. There's context in the non playoff

951
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: games because if half your team opts out, like, what

952
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: do you even? You know, the when Georgia beat the

953
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 2: shit out of Florida State in the game a couple

954
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: of years ago, when they got left out of the playoff,

955
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 2: what was that three years ago? Their entire team opted out.

956
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 2: And it works for the SEC too, Like all these players.

957
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: If I'm playing in the random Stanley Bull or the

958
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 2: Reef Sandals Bowl, I know most of these guys are

959
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: not playing anymore. So I don't put as much stock

960
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 2: in the bowl games as I do the regular season.

961
00:53:54,440 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 2: For sure, I would say this. They have won three

962
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 2: straight National champions Chips with three different teams. It's what

963
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 2: I was like, Michigan, Ohio State. Okay, those are two

964
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 2: best historical programs right in Ohio State is I would say,

965
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 2: I know they don't win it every year, but to me,

966
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 2: they're currently the bar for college football. I mean, just

967
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 2: year in year out there, I feel like the best

968
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 2: team in terms of roster doesn't mean they're always gonna

969
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 2: win it. But now you've got Indiana just went sixteen

970
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 2: to h and beat the shit out of Alabama, which

971
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 2: should be one of your best teams. So I would

972
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 2: say at the top, I mean, they've three straight years,

973
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: three different teams, and that doesn't even count Oregon, who

974
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 2: has been a top minimum seven team in the country

975
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: for twenty years and definitely the last the NIL era,

976
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: they've been a top five or six program, maybe even higher.

977
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 2: They just they just kind of underwhelm Underlanding in these

978
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 2: big games. But they are fucking they ain't going anywhere.

979
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 2: So you got Ohio State, you got Oregon, You now

980
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 2: have Indiana, who's the defending champs. You got Kyle Whittingham

981
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 2: at Michigan. My issue with the SEC is their teams,

982
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 2: Like Kirby Smart's a stud, but his team roster wise

983
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 2: clearly isn't the same as it was. Pren I l.

984
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 2: Alabama just has not been the same the last couple

985
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 2: of years with debor. They can't run the ball, their

986
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: talent doesn't quite look as same, you know, as dominant.

987
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: Now maybe that changes next year. We'll see, you know,

988
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: LSU has been down, which is a problem. Florida's been

989
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 2: really down, which is a problem. So Alabama no longer

990
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: is a dominant program. Georgia is your best program, but

991
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 2: they're not nearly as good as they were three or

992
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 2: four years ago. Texas and soccerre just kind of unreliable,

993
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 2: and it's like, can you trust their offense? No one

994
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 2: with the brain thinks the SEC isn't completely lotal. I mean,

995
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: the Big twelve Football Conference isn't even in the same

996
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 2: universe as the other two. But like part of what

997
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: the SEC had was we have the most guys getting

998
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:24,959
Speaker 2: drafted and we're winning all the national championships. Well, now

999
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 2: the Big Ten has won three straight national championships. And

1000
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 2: what's the draft gonna look like this year? I don't

1001
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,479
Speaker 2: know if it's gonna be as SEC heavy now, maybe

1002
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: it's just an off year, but it's gonna be pretty

1003
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: Big Ten heavy, you know, think about the Top ten.

1004
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza, how many Ohio State guys are gonna go.

1005
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,760
Speaker 2: You have Reese, you have Sonny Styles. You know, Caleb

1006
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 2: Downs is probably a top fifteen pick. So that's three

1007
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 2: of their guys going in the top fifteen. So that's

1008
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 2: four ten players. And my missing doesn't Penn State have

1009
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 2: a guard who's probably gonna go in the top twenty.

1010
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna have eight nine big ten players

1011
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 2: go in the top twenty. So now their high end

1012
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: talent is Oregon's tight end. Oregon is a safety that

1013
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: might go in the first round. It's like, well, who's

1014
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 2: Bama's best players. You're gonna tell me Ty Simpson, Procter

1015
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 2: or the offensive lineman. It's not quite the same. LSU's

1016
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 2: talent isn't quite as deep. It's not like they're going

1017
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: six guys they're gonna go in the top forty. Florida's

1018
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 2: been a disaster, so I think it has changed a

1019
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 2: little bit with the nil. And again, no one's acting

1020
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 2: like the SEC just sucks now, But the nil changed

1021
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 2: the game. We have to acknowledge that nil change the game.

1022
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: This week, you stated winning in college is kind of overrated.

1023
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: I e. Tim Tebow. Let me phrase this correctly. I

1024
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: don't think it's overrated. It is always important to win, right,

1025
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: But just because you don't win doesn't make you a

1026
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: less of a prospect for a guy that's winning. Because

1027
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 2: in college historically, if you played for one of the

1028
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: top programs, even if you were average, you were gonna win.

1029
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 2: Or if you were a quarterback playing for Mike Leach,

1030
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 2: you were gonna put up the best stats. Or Hawaii

1031
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: in the run and shoot. So you got to be

1032
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 2: The way you evaluate quarterbacks in college isn't just about

1033
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: wins and losses or stats. Would that same apply to

1034
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 2: stats in Bennett? His college resume is kind of wild,

1035
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: but he's struggling to retain his backup position. I would

1036
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 2: say he's not their backup the way Sean McVay talks.

1037
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 2: He's begging Kirk Cousins to take his job because Jimmy

1038
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: Garoppolo won't sign the contract. Stetson Bennett if you would

1039
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 2: have put on Baylor or Arizona or just some random

1040
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: Division I power for college team. Not only is he

1041
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 2: not drafted, I don't think anyone's ever heard of him.

1042
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 2: He played on Georgia, who was I mean, just guy

1043
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 2: for guy will go down as one of the most

1044
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 2: talented teams with the Internet era, Like you could go,

1045
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 2: just their talent is like Miami when I was a

1046
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 2: kid level. I mean it was stupid. Every guy on

1047
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: defense is like a first or second round player. The

1048
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: amount of money their defensive players are going to sign

1049
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 2: second contracts is gonna be like historic. Oh and they

1050
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 2: got lab mcconkeey and Brock Bowers with countless guys on

1051
00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 2: their offensive line drafted. Again, that's taking nothing like sets event.

1052
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 2: It's a really good college player. To me, like, I'm

1053
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 2: not into those type NFL quarterbacks. I'm just not for

1054
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why don't they just start Will Howard

1055
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 2: all year, win five or six games. We get asked

1056
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 2: this a lot. They're not gonna do that. It's like

1057
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 2: I stopped talking. You know, Tomlin and the Steelers over

1058
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: the last couple years should get a divorce. That conversation

1059
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 2: just died with me because it was clearly not gonna

1060
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 2: happen until Tomlin finally said, like, I'll give you the

1061
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: divorce papers. I'm out peace. But until he did it,

1062
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: like I was done talking about that conversation. The Rooneys

1063
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 2: told us when Tomlin quit and I don't know if

1064
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 2: that was the press conference before they hired McCarthy or

1065
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 2: when they hired McCarthy, Like, we don't we don't rebuild here,

1066
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 2: we just we we try to win. We don't tank,

1067
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: we don't take a year off organizationally. They just they

1068
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 2: don't think like that and they're not going to do it.

1069
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 2: I might be a little too generic, but what about

1070
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 2: calling the followers the Maleman since you rely on them

1071
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 2: in the mail back? I don't hate it. I mean

1072
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 2: the male man. Karl Malone is one of the better

1073
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: sports nicknames of my youth basketball. Actually, I had, I

1074
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 2: mean incredible ones when I was a kid. The glove

1075
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 2: the male Man was pretty good, though, I don't hate that.

1076
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 2: Here are some other listener name ideas the threes, Audis,

1077
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 2: I don't hate the threes. Maleman's not bad. Again, I

1078
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 2: still haven't when I if I ever heard it, I

1079
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: would know it, and I just I feel like I've

1080
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 2: never heard it. He's like, that's the one not football related,

1081
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: but I recently joined the bald Brotherhood. I can't grow

1082
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: a full head of hair, but the hair I do

1083
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 2: have rows fast. Sick fucking joke, right, I feel your Doug,

1084
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 2: do you have any personal recommendations for head shavers. I

1085
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 2: used to just trim it like with a one probably

1086
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 2: the first year. The problem is, like you said, if

1087
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: your hair is growing relatively fast, every three or four days,

1088
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 2: you gotta do it, and you're like heads over the

1089
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 2: toilet or the sink. It's like, this kind of sucks.

1090
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 2: So I mean, I've just transitioned to doing it with

1091
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 2: the mock five or mocked I use the five blade one,

1092
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 2: So I just do it every couple of days. Now again,

1093
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 2: I can go like four or five days without it

1094
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 2: because I can just wear a hat. But if I

1095
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 2: if I had people I was meeting with or stuff

1096
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 2: I had to do in person, I have to shave

1097
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 2: because I can't have a cul de sac. So I

1098
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 2: just do in the shower. I go shaving cream all

1099
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 2: over my head and just let it rip ideally there

1100
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: there's I mean a lot of people do just at

1101
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: my gym in this in the steam room, they have

1102
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 2: razors outside. That's a that's a pretty orgasmic shave. Not

1103
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 2: gonna lie. But for the most part, ninety five percent

1104
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 2: of my shaves probably even higher in that or just

1105
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: in the shower much easier to shave your head, like

1106
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 2: for me after I work out and I'm sweating, than

1107
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: just to dry shave it in the morning, Like if

1108
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 2: you have to do something like when I do Coward

1109
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: Show and I just my alarm goes off at five fifteen,

1110
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 2: you just go right in the shower, shave your head

1111
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 2: and then go. It's not as comfortable of a shave

1112
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: and depending like I have thicker, coarse hair, so I

1113
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 2: don't even think I could shave like every day. I

1114
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: have to give it at least like eighteen twenty four

1115
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: hours or I mean thirty six, forty eight hours, thirty six.

1116
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm kind of pushing it, so like that two day

1117
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 2: window is probably ideal the earliest.

1118
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

1119
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of debate whether the Giants at

1120
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 2: five should take either Jeremiah Love or Sunny Styles, given

1121
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame careers of Erlocker also converted safety

1122
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 2: and Ladanian Tomlinson having played out, who would you have

1123
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 2: chosen to me taking a running back that high when

1124
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 2: his success depends on the offensive line as shown with

1125
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Saquan the linebacker is the pick. If you told me,

1126
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 2: as the Giants, I could have Brian Urlocker or Ladanian Tomlinson.

1127
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 2: I would take er Locker and LT's one of my

1128
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: favorite players of all time. The reason being is it's

1129
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 2: much easier to just find functional running backs. I saw

1130
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell asked about the Texans. Reporter asked him about

1131
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 2: David Montgomery, and he's like, I love David Montgomery, and

1132
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 2: he's like, the Texans got themselves a badass, the ultimate pro.

1133
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,919
Speaker 2: He deserves a chance to be the starter again. And

1134
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 2: he's like, I'm as big as fan. Well, my point

1135
01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 2: is like you can just find all of a sudden,

1136
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 2: Remember it's like DeAndre Swift any good? And then he's

1137
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 2: like watch him on the Bears, like, god, DeAndre Swift's

1138
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 2: not bad. Oh, and this other guy that they drafted

1139
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 2: in the seventh round not bad either. Where it's like

1140
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 2: it's rare that he's like, who's that linebacker? Because most

1141
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 2: linebackers are kind of average. But when you do get

1142
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 2: Fred Warner or just whoever Patrick willis just Brian Urlocker,

1143
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,959
Speaker 2: especially in this day and age where the teams pass

1144
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: a lot to tight ends and running backs, so that

1145
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 2: like ten yard passed the line of scrimmage sideline, the sideline,

1146
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 2: like can you cover it. Erlocker actually is tailor made

1147
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 2: for today's dan age. So if you told me I

1148
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 2: got the best version of a running back or a

1149
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 2: middle linebacker, I'm taking the middle linebacker every day of

1150
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 2: the week. Now. If you just tell me, like Jeremiah

1151
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Love is going to be Ladanian Tomlinson, and we don't

1152
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 2: know what Sonny sal is gonna be, then I would

1153
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 2: take Ladani and Thomson. But if you told me best

1154
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 2: like he's gonna be ear Locker, I think you'd have

1155
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 2: to do that. I mean, but I'm a defensive first guy.

1156
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 2: I can manipulate the running back guy. I just believe that.

1157
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: And they already have. Tracy's not bad, and you know

1158
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 2: Scatboy's coming back from major injury. But you can put

1159
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 2: together three or four running backs. Matt Naggie comes from

1160
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 2: Andy Reid. He's gonna pass new name idea, the Chain Gang.

1161
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all I got. I appreciate it. Okay,

1162
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: we will talk tomorrow, audios, and these coaches are talking

1163
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 2: bright and early in the morning, and we'll see what

1164
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 2: the AFC guys say. Hopefully everyone has a great day.

1165
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 2: Talk to you soon.

1166
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: The volume
