Hi everybody, and 12 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: welcome to our Friday morning podcast. Dave stat Bears and 13 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins talk, among other things, Steelers talk, Kenny Pickett, George 14 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: Pickens first though, fake questions, real answers. Stuff I want 15 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: to talk about but don't want to wait for you 16 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: to ask me. Fake questions, real answers. Here we go, 17 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: Dear Colin, The NFL NFLPA have agreed on an eleven 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: game suspension for Deshaun Watson. What's something you're thinking about 19 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: that isn't being discussed well? The NFL makes a majority 20 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: of its money from television. They are meticulous and calculated 21 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: in their planning. So Deshaun Watson will not be allowed 22 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: to play until week thirteen. Now he plays for Cleveland, 23 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: that's the AFC. CBS owns those rights, right, AFC rights. 24 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: Interesting they bring him back on a week that CBS 25 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: has three huge AFC matchups and they cover four regions. 26 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Chargers play the Raiders Herbert Derek Carr. CBS will have 27 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: their West Coast affiliates plus Idaho plus Nevada. They'll take 28 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: that game. Mahomes plays Borough Kansas City, since CBS will 29 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: have all their Midwest affiliates take that. Denver plays Baltimore, 30 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson. That will cover the Rocky Mountain 31 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: states and then the Northeast population centers. They're covered West, Rockies, Midwest, Northeast. 32 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: They will all have a star matchup to cover, meaning 33 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: the distribution for Deshaun Watson's opening game Houston and Cleveland 34 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: will be tiny. I think the NFL thinks about all 35 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: of that stuff. Dear Colin, you've been highly critical of 36 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones of the New York Giants. What quarterback does 37 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: he remind you of? He doesn't He reminds me of 38 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: an actor, Hayden Christiansen. Back in nineteen ninety nine, they 39 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: were making a new Star Wars. It was a big 40 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: effin deal George Lucas. You know, George Lucas had to 41 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: find somebody to play Anakin Skywalker who would eventually become 42 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: Darth Vader. Big role. So they put Hayden christians In 43 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: in the part, and most people agreed it was a whiff. 44 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: But was it his fault? Frankly, the role was bigger 45 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: than the actor. Blame George Lucas. The actor was what 46 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,839 Speaker 1: the actor was. The role of Giants quarterback is too 47 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: big for Daniel Jones. This is a town that had 48 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: Joe Namoth the Jets and a member of the Manning 49 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: family for the Giants. Those are big names. It's a 50 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: star driven town. You take a kid from Duke who 51 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: was a reach at the number six pick, and you 52 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: voiced him to that media. Has anybody considered if maybe 53 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: he went to Tampa, small market, offensive coach, not as 54 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: much chaos, we may have a slightly different story. I mean, 55 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: I don't think of the Daniel Jones fault. I think 56 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: he's a second third round player that could have with 57 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: an offensive coach and less chaos, been reasonably successful in 58 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: a smaller media market where he could be hidden. Like 59 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: let's say a Carolina we're blaming Daniel Jones. Why they 60 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: draft him, Dave Gettlman, Giants GM. It's his issue. Daniel 61 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: Jones hasn't changed. He's always been average. Dear Colin, you 62 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: always love that the NFL, as a TV product in 63 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: the league is always tweaking things. Do you hear any 64 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: other NFL tweaks coming? No, But a source told me 65 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball will be eliminating the defensive shift. 66 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: I think that's great. I don't know when it happens, 67 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: but it's going to happen soon. Listen, baseball doesn't have 68 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: a length problem. The game's last three hours, college football 69 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: games last four That's not the issue. The issue is 70 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: an activity problem. There's not enough base runners. Eliminate the 71 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: defensive shift. More line drives fall in, more base runners, 72 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: more plays at the plate, more stolen bases, more first 73 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: a third, more stars on the bases, camera on the stars. 74 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: There's not enough base runners. There's not enough activity. It's 75 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: all home runs and strikeouts. Baseball usually reluctant to make changes, 76 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm told defensive shift is going away, and I love it. 77 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: Dear Colin, did you see the new Big ten contract 78 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: with Fox, NBC and CBS seven billion over seven years 79 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: starting in twenty twenty three. What does it tell you? 80 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: It tells me this is why USC and UCLA moved. 81 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: They went from making thirty million dollars a year with 82 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: a PAC twelve network to a minimum of sixty four million, 83 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: and a source inside USC told me they think they'll 84 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: get closer to eighty five to ninety million because they'll 85 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: have bowl revenue. They're also in that deal, not counting 86 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: butts in the seats Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, 87 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: Michigan State are going to bring fifteen to twenty thousand 88 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: fans every time they visit the coliseum or the Rose Bowl. 89 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: If you could double your revenue or triple it. And 90 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: again I'm told USC thinks, all in ninety million dollars 91 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: a year in revenue, if you could triple it in 92 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 1: two years, wouldn't you move. Let's stop overplaying the great 93 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: history of the PAC twelve. Really, I'm a PAC twelve guy. 94 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: The PAC twelve has been history for about six years. 95 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: This is why they left the conference. Big ten is 96 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: a much better deal quickly for the Trojans and Bruins. 97 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: Dear Colin, UFC kingpinned. Dana White got a little testy 98 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: a couple of times this week what it was suggested 99 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: by the media he should pay his fighters more. Who 100 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: do you back, Dana White or the media and the fighters? Yeah, media, 101 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: people tell me you don't know how to run a business. 102 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: Without telling me you don't know how to run a business. 103 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: UFC is entertainment. Tom Cruise gets me to buy a 104 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: movie ticket. Jude Law doesn't. That's why Tom Cruise makes 105 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: a hundred times more this weekend. They have a card 106 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City. Kamara Uzman is the star so 107 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: good he'll get me to buy ESPN Plus at about 108 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: seventy bucks. Connor McGregor could do that. John Jones could 109 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: do that. There's a handful of fighters, maybe five or 110 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: six that get me to buy a UFC card. I 111 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: buy about five a year. I'm a casual, but that's 112 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: where you make your money. The diehards buy every week. 113 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: This is the entertainment business. Boxing. One of its issues 114 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: overpaid for average fighters. I've said this before. If you 115 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: can get me into a theater. If you can get 116 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: me to buy a product a ticket, you're gonna make 117 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: big money. Jude Law doesn't. Tom Cruise does. I'm not 118 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: anti fighters making big money. I'm anti average fighter who 119 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: seeks big money being upset he's not paid what stars are. 120 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: Totally back Dana White, Dave Wantstat, the former Bears and 121 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins head coach. This is an interesting week. So I 122 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: said this the other day on Kenny pick At. You're 123 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh guy, I said, he's twenty four, four year starter, 124 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: enters a stable organization that may have found the steal 125 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: in the draft at wide receiver with George Pickens. Those 126 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: are big advantages that most rookie quarterbacks don't get. They 127 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: usually have a new coach Kyler Murray did. They don't 128 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: get Mike Tomlin. They don't get the rooneys. They don't 129 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: get that stability, they don't get that roster. Twenty four 130 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: played his college games in that stadium four years starting, Dave. 131 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: Those are huge advantages other college quarterbacks don't have. So 132 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: my takeaways listen, let's find out if he can play. 133 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: Just put him out there. By the way. You get 134 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: a break because Deshaun's not going to play until week thirteen. 135 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: So I want to know by the end of this 136 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: year because next year there's going to be six quarterbacks 137 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: in the first round. They're calling it one of the 138 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: biggest quarterback years ever. I want to know by January 139 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: can the kid play or not? But this is not 140 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: a Kyler Murray situation where he was a one year 141 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: college starter entering complete dysfunction. Same with Burrow. To me, 142 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: you gotta start him. I want to see live bullets 143 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: this it's twenty four, Dave. You can't. You can't babysit him. 144 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: To me, well, you know what I like. I agree 145 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: with what the Steelers doing now, and I kind of 146 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: disagree with you a little bit for two reasons. Number one, 147 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: the age does not bother me. Uh the Steelers, you know, 148 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: he's in a situation where they expect to win in 149 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: a playoff game or Super Bowl this year. That's the 150 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: goals different than Kyler Murray obviously going to Arizona, new coach, franchise, 151 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: all the things you mentioned. Here's what happens if you 152 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: start a rookie quarterback, in my opinion, and he struggles, 153 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: you have a real chance to I don't want to 154 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: say lose the locker room, but have the locker room 155 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: question you as a head coach, as a general manager, 156 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: as an owner. So the best situation for Kenny right now, 157 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: and I talk to people back there every week, is, 158 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, mister Trubisky, they're not going to have to 159 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: change one thing when Kenny Pickett becomes the quarterback. Him 160 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: and Trubisky are very similar. They're athletes, they can both 161 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: make plays on the move. You know, they're about the 162 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: same size, same strength. So the offensive package that Matt 163 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: Canada puts in Kenny fits that mold perfectly. So I 164 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: think that's a big advantage. You put Picket in there. 165 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: He struggles early. He struggles early as rookie quarterbacks do. 166 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Now you put him on the bench, you may ruin 167 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: that kid, and particularly in that time in Pittsburgh, I 168 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: mean they so Mitch, let Mitch get in there. I 169 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: think Mitch will win for him and Kenny is going 170 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: to get his opportunity. Mason Rudolph is the guy that's 171 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: out in my opinion. You know, he's in that city, 172 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: He's had his opportunity. It hasn't worked out for whatever reasons. 173 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: That's the guy that they'll play something and they got 174 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: to get him on tape and try to move him on. 175 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be Trubisky, I have no questions. And 176 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: then Picket's gonna be the guy, no question. You know 177 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. But I think it'll work itself out. 178 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: And the way the Steelers work, they do nothing by 179 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction. So one good preseason game, you know, 180 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: and I know the crowd. I was, In fact, I 181 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: shot a little messy John to Kenny after the game 182 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: when he came in at Pittsburgh Stadium. You know, upper 183 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: it was humble. It was like a playoff mentality. The 184 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: fans love him, but the Rooneys know that they're gonna 185 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: take it one step at a time. It's gonna be 186 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: Trubisky and then Pikett will get his opportunities soon enough. 187 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: They are not concerned about the age because a guy 188 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: has never been hurt, he's healthy, he's tough, no problem. 189 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: So you've had connections to Tampa for years. I don't 190 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: think it's a big deal. But Brady decided I'm just 191 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: taking I'm taking fourteen days off. Here in the middle 192 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: of the camp. Now, I said this today, Mike Evans 193 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: has hurt, Chris Godwin is hurt, Russell Gage is hurt. 194 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: They lost their center for the year, Tristan Worf's got hurt, 195 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson got hurt. So I'm saying to myself, well, shit, 196 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: the receivers are all hurt. Why have Brady come in 197 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: and work with guys he's going to work with in 198 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: the regular season. But there are people that say this 199 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: is odd. It's a two week break and Dave, I 200 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: look at it. He retired, and I think he made 201 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: promises to his family. I think he told Giselle and 202 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: the kids, guys, we're gonna take you guys. You kids 203 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: are getting older, you're not gonna want to go on 204 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: vacations with dad. We're gonna go in a three week vacation. 205 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: And I think when he unretired, my guess is Giselle said, timeout, timeout, 206 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: you promised us. Do you think that's my guess? Do 207 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: you think it would be disrupted if your star quarterback said, guys, 208 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be gone for fourteen days in camp? Yes, 209 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: I do, except it's Tom Brady. I've never had Tom Brady. 210 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: I agree with you know, Cal, and I think this 211 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: was all set up during retirement. You know, Todd Bles 212 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: is a very honest person. He came out right from 213 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: the get go and said, we have known about this 214 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: for weeks or months. This is all part of the plan. 215 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: So you know, Tampa nut concern. They're not changing anything. 216 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: In fact, if they change anything on offense, to be 217 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: honest with you, it's gonna be because of Tom's influence. 218 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: You know, he's not gonna go show up back there 219 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden Byron left Wadge, the offensive 220 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: coordinator or the head coach top Bowls is going to say, 221 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't, I don't really like these four 222 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: or five plays these are out. They ain't. That's not 223 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: going to happen where Bruce, you know, was an offensive god. 224 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: Tob Bows is staying away from it. So if anything changes, 225 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be because Tom Brady wants it to change 226 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: for the offense. So I don't see that being a 227 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: problem withsoever. And you know he's staying in shape, I mean, 228 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: and doing all those things. It's poor kids. He's probably 229 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: wearing them eye catching footballs. Can you imagine how many 230 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: balls they're catching a day?

You know, Dave, when you play there were 261 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: four games in the preseason. Now there are three. A 262 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: lot of people think it'll get reduced to two. And 263 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: I was talking to a GM the other day, Tom 264 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: chlesco of the Chargers, and he said, you know, we 265 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: like these scrimmages because if we want to work in 266 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: our goal line defense, we can do it fifteen plays 267 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, we can't do that in games. 268 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: And he said the truth is we can control it, 269 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: and if I want to play my young quarterback in 270 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: twenty red zone snaps, then that's what we're going to 271 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: work on. So you know, there was this theory forever 272 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: you got to play your guys in the preseason to 273 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: get toughened up. But Sean McVay has refused to play 274 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: any starters in the pre season and it hasn't hurt 275 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: a lick um. When McVay first did it, did you 276 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: bristle at it? Are you surprised how quickly people have 277 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: moved off the preseason and playing anybody. Well, I think 278 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: it's not as much they moved off of playing people 279 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: in the preseason. They have moved to these to these 280 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: inner team practices that you mentioned. And I did that 281 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: when I was first the Bears coach. Bill Belichick was 282 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: coaching the Cleveland Browns and Bill brought his team three 283 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: years in a row to Platteville, Wisconsin, and we worked 284 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: against each other, and then and then I've got the 285 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins job, and I worked against Tony Dungee for two 286 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: years and John Gruden for one year. So that's always 287 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: been critical for me to control the situations and make 288 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: sure you're getting good work versus good work without it 289 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: being technically live. And I'll tell you the other advantage 290 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: these young coaches now and I and this is it's 291 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: not you know, a reflection on the experience that these 292 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: guys have branding, but they only know what they know. 293 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: And when my coaches would come in and get together 294 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: with Cleveland staff, we would have the practices and then 295 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: we would watch the tape with our individual players, and 296 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: then the staffs would get together at night to plan 297 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: practice the next day. And then I would Bill would 298 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: had I and our assistant coaches would sit down there 299 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: and talk football and exchange ideas and grow professionally. I 300 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: mean nowadays, you know, you know that's not happening to us. 301 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity for these young coaches to 302 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: learn from other guys. And then you're watching the other teams, 303 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: so the rams are working against whoever, and they're watching 304 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: the drills that they're doing. You know what, That's a 305 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: nice drill that they're doing with their linebackers. We shouldn't 306 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: incorporate that in Iris. I mean I was watching everything, 307 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: and everybody else did. They would walk over and watch 308 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: our I think it's a great way you're getting situation 309 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: work that makes your coaches better. Also, well, you want 310 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: a super Bowl in Dallas with Jimmy Johnson. And so 311 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: the first week of the preseason, Cowboys had seventeen penalties. 312 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: Last year, they led the NFL and penalties by eleven, 313 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: almost a game and a half more than anybody else 314 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: the penalties. And I'm not real nitpicky on him. I 315 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: don't mind an occasional late hit, to be honest, but 316 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: eleven of the seventeen were offensive penalties and it drives 317 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: me crazy. And I don't know if you've ever been 318 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: in this situation because you work with Jimmy, so obviously not. 319 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like if they lose to the Bengals 320 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: and the box Brady and Burrow in the first two weeks, 321 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: I think I think this city's gonna ask for dan 322 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: Quinn because Dan's two. Everybody loves the you know, everybody 323 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: loves the top coordinator when the head coach is losing. 324 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: If you were McCarthy and you had you had to 325 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: win early, you had a dan Quinn behind you, the 326 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 1: media wasn't in your corner. It just doesn't feel right 327 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: to me. David feels like this is just a It 328 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: is just it is a match away from being an inferno. 329 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how you go about it. 330 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: If if did you ever have a situation where you 331 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: felt you could lose your job in season? No? I 332 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: did not. I And a little bit that you talk 333 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: about a match away a little bit what adds fuel 334 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: to the fire is there's a little bit of the 335 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: old Al Davis mentality down there that the buck stops 336 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. It doesn't stop with the head coach, 337 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: you know. And I've never been in that situation as 338 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: a head coach where there was a where the players 339 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: thought that they could go to the owner or go 340 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: to the GM and bypass me. No. I that's a 341 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: very difficult situation. And you know, I worked for Dawn 342 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: Coachula for seven weeks before I went to Dallas with Jimmy, 343 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: and Coachula is to always say there's no such thing 344 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: as a small penalty. And I remember talking to Bill 345 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: Parstell's about turnovers and penalties and he said, Dave, let 346 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: me tell you something he says as a head coach 347 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: that will get you fired. He says, because the owners 348 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: know that the owners don't know a lot of football, Okay, 349 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: they don't know if someone screwed up a blocking scheme, 350 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: or if the guy ran in the wrong gap on 351 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: a blitz. But when the flag is thrown and somebody 352 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: hits somebody later, somebody jumps offside. They know that. So 353 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: you gotta be You gotta understand what will get you 354 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: fired quicker than other things. And Bill ended up by 355 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: saying this. He says, you know, he says, if a 356 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: player is a repeated turnover guy or repeated penalty player repeated, 357 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: that's the key word. You gotta get rid of him. 358 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: He can't play for you, he can't play. So I 359 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: would be curious. I don't have the numbers in front 360 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: of me from last year and this year. It would 361 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: be real interesting to run the numbers and see, you know, 362 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: if one guy is a repeated offender. If he is, 363 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: they've got to that's the guy. You gotta make a change. 364 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: You gotta do something because it's not it's to come 365 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: back and it'll get you fired. Yeah. Cam Akers, running 366 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: back for the Rams, had two huge fumbles against the Bucks. 367 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: They won that game, but I thought it was interesting 368 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: the Rams drafted another running back this year. Yep, that's 369 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: exactly what I'm saying. And Dawn Shula. God, I remember 370 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: working for him. We were and he would go crazy 371 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: five yard penalty and call the team up and say, guys, 372 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: you know and the Dolphins were always one of the 373 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: least penalized teams. And they said, oh, it was because 374 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: coach Shula was on the competition committee, and blah blah blah. No, no, no, 375 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: it wasn't. It's because those guys knew the importance of it, 376 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: because you know, he's strusted it and he threatened you 377 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: with it, and you knew it was important. Listen. I 378 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: know you love your linebackers and Roquan Smith is really good. 379 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: But I said this the other day. Years ago, the 380 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors had a player named Monte Ellis. He 381 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: was very, very good. He was their best player, but 382 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't a great shooter, and the league was pivoting 383 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: to shooting three point shooting, and so they decided to 384 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: let Monte Ellis go a market. And he was their 385 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: best athlete, but he'd been there a few years and 386 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't generating enough wins, and so they went with 387 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: Curry because he was the next He's what was happening 388 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: to basketball. Ellis was an All star. Ellis was their 389 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: best player. He was not a shooter. The game is changing. 390 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: Roquan Smith is not getting wins for you. Outside of Moody. 391 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: They don't have a dependable number two receiver. Their offensive 392 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: line with the Bears isn't very good, and Justin Fields 393 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: has to work. This can't fail again. And I look 394 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: at Chicago's history, I can't name their top five receivers. 395 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: I can name their top five linebackers. But the world's changing. 396 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: I've had general managers tell me you simply can't pay 397 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: big money for a linebacker unless it's Ray Lewis or 398 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: maybe Darius Leonard because he gets the ball back. And 399 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago right now, I look at Rokuan Smith and 400 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: he wants big money, and I'm like, I like him 401 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: a lot, and he may be the second best player, 402 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: first best player on the team. But if you could 403 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: get a star receiver for him or a left tackle 404 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: with Justin Fields, wouldn't you have to consider it? You 405 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: would have to consider it. And I'm not sure where 406 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: the numbers are at, but a couple points in defense 407 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: of what the Bears are doing. I was up there 408 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: and I had a long talk with Matt ever Flus. 409 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator or the head coach now, and they 410 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: are going from a three four to a four to three, 411 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: and it's a four three. There's different types of four 412 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: three defenses. They are in the mold of what we 413 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: did at Dallas, I did at Miami Chicago. They are 414 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: in the mold of what Tony Dungee and Lovey Smith did. 415 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: And when you when I go back and I say, okay, 416 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: Derek Brooks in that defense, they are not a blitz team. 417 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: This is the team that's going to play a lot 418 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: of different coverages rush four and your linebackers better make 419 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: a lot of tackles. And Derek Brooks was invaluable for 420 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Zach Thomas was in valuable for US at Miami, 421 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Lance Briggs, Brian Erlacker were invaluable to the Bears, all 422 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: the same scheme. So I think you got to look 423 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: at the scheme. And you mentioned Darius Leonard, I mean, 424 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: take a look at the Maury Davis, take a look 425 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: at Fred Warner, take a look at some of the 426 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: top linebackers right now, and you compare Roquan Smith to 427 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: these guys, and he's got he's got more tackles than 428 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: am I mean, the guy averages over one hundred tackles, 429 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: is old, he's twenty five years old. The Bears have 430 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: a they will have a hundred million dollars in cap 431 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: space next year. So if it's bizarre, I'm on board 432 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: with your calling. If you came in and said, this 433 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: guy's asking for more money than any linebacker in the league, 434 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: bob on and on and on, then then they Okay, 435 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: what can we get for the guy, Let's investigate it. 436 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: But if we're trying, if he's being reasonable with us, 437 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: he was in a charity event last week here in Chicago. 438 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: You know, he's what do they call the term in 439 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: household on or whatever the terms. I yeah, you know 440 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: whatever that means. Uh. So he's he's in all the meetings, 441 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: he's working on, he's in shape, he knows the defense. 442 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: You know. None of those things bother them, and even 443 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: guys attending charity events around the city. In my opinion, 444 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: I would do everything. I couldn't get this thing done 445 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: unless the numbers were absurd. If they're not, this guy 446 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: in this scheme of defense makes a huge difference because 447 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: he can. He never comes off the field. He plays 448 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: the run, he plays the pass, he can blitz. He's 449 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: he's got numbers to support everything, and to compare them 450 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: with those top guys. In my opinion, he's he's right 451 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: there talent wise and production wise with all of them. 452 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: So I would take it to the last straw, is 453 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, I have my concerns with fields. 454 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: They have one receiver I like Moody, nice tight end, 455 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: decent backs, but on offense of line that's ranked in 456 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: the bottom six or seven in the league. I think 457 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: Detroit's gonna be better. Minnesota is going to be better 458 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: because Kirk Cousins will feel supported. Green Bay is probably 459 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: not as good. I don't see light at the end 460 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: of this hunnel for Chicago. Sell me on what you see. Well, 461 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I had a long talk with Ryan Poles, 462 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: a general manager, and we were talking about the cap 463 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: space that they're gonna have, all the draft picks that 464 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna have, we will know and this is this 465 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 1: is going to be a quarterback friendly offense. I mean 466 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: they're gonna give justin fields. You know, it may not 467 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: be the hind scores offense. I mean they're gonna have 468 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: to play great defense, but they're gonna run the ball, 469 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: and they're gonna move him in the pocket, misdirection plays. 470 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna have enough stuff to give him 471 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: chance to make plays what he didn't do last year. 472 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: And they're gonna protect them. If they got to keep 473 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 1: seven guys in the block, they're gonna do everything they 474 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: can to protect them. By week eight, if we have 475 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: a conversation, we'll both be in agreeance. It's gonna be 476 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: one of those things fifty guys in a bar see something. 477 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: It's probably that way, regardless of what anybody else thinks, 478 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: you know. And so I think by mid season, you know, 479 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: fifty people down here on this street, Michigan Avenue in 480 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: a bar, they're gonna we're all gonna be on the 481 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: same page. If Justin Fields is the future or not. Yeah, 482 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, Dave, I used to be 483 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: one of these give a guy three years, but now 484 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: with all the seven on seven camps, these kids come out, 485 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: they're ready to play. Like I'll give you two years 486 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: the timeline I use, I'll give you a year of 487 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: starting in the second year. By Thanksgiving, I'm gonna have 488 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: private conversations with my GM and my owner, and I'm 489 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: going to know, I really feel like I'm not going 490 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: to give you. I used to be a believer in 491 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: forty eight starts. I'm kind of a believer in twenty four, 492 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 1: like I'll know at twenty four, like I Daniel Jones, listen, 493 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: he's not accurate enough. He's just not accurate enough. And 494 00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, Gettlman didn't surround him with much. But I 495 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 1: always contend that teams know sooner than they let on. 496 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: I was told this year is to go buy an agent. 497 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: A company decides to fire you a year before they 498 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: tell you, is what would you have to see with 499 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: justin Fields that concerned you? Like, what was something you 500 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: go to the GM at Thanksgiving and go, shit, we 501 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: got a problem here. The only thing I saw coming 502 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: back from Ohio State. And I've said this on the air. Here, 503 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: you know the guy in two years starting Ohio State, 504 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: he was sacked fifty two times, you know, twenty six 505 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: sacks a game or whatever it was. You know it 506 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: was over fifty. It was fifty two. And I want 507 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: to see the biggest thing. I want to see any 508 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: worried about his actress here or speed or I want 509 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: to see him make the decision and throw the get 510 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: the ball out quick, you know, and and help protect yourself. 511 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: That's what I gotta see. I got to see a 512 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: quick decision in the ball coming out, and the style 513 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: of offense can help that, There's no question about that. 514 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: And but that's the one thing that bothered me a 515 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: little bit because you know, the guys that they got 516 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: blocking at Ohio State there as big as this door 517 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: and some of the people that are blocking. So that's 518 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: a lot of sacks for whatever reason, when when you're 519 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: a balanced offense, they were running the ball. So I 520 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: want we got to eliminate those sacks. And the quarterback 521 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: has as much to do with getting sacked and as 522 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I mean you you got to get 523 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: rid of that thing and make a quick decision. That's 524 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: what I want to see. Is there a team in 525 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: the league minus Minnesota that people see his average that 526 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: you think? I remember last year man Jeanie said the 527 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: Raiders are going to make the playoffs, and I'm like, oh, 528 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: come on, Eric, he was right. This year for me, 529 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: Minnesota they lost more close games than anybody in the league, 530 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: and Zimmer and Cousins were at each other's throat. I 531 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: think I think Kirk will feel more supported. They also 532 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: got Zadarius Smith, so they have a better pass rush. 533 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: Last year they were banged up. I think they could 534 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: be a twelve win team. Twelve, I think they really 535 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: and I don't think green Bay is nearly as good. 536 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: They don't have a number one or a number two receiver, 537 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: so I think green Bay is vulnerable and Minnesota will 538 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: win some of those close games. That's my team. Do 539 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: you have one? Yeah, you know what, I thought, you 540 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: just add the Minnesota I like with you for our 541 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: viewers here. You know, they five of their first six 542 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: draft picks were defensive players. They drafted a defensive back 543 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: in the first run, defensive back in the second run. 544 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: When you look at that team, the sacks were really 545 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: not the major problem it was. It was the coverage 546 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: back there. I mean he game it was horrible. I 547 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: mean the red zone cover and that's uh. Offensively they 548 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: were fine. So I agree with you, but they have 549 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: made an emphasis. I think they could be the sleeper. 550 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: I could see them winning that division. I truly could Minnesota. 551 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: My team with the most improvement is the Raiders. I 552 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: mean I love with the you know, I mean you 553 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: think about this Raider team. Week five, John Gruden gets fired, 554 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, and and and Rich Bishotti did a great shock, 555 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: I mean taking over that team, you know, but with 556 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: everything going on to move the stadium, uh, you know, 557 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: and Terry Carr is he gonna be there? Is he not? 558 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: John Brewd never really came out and made a commitment 559 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: with the guy. And now they extend him, you know, 560 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. They add Chandler Jones on defense, you're lining 561 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: him up, and Crosby on two ends. You got Josh 562 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: Jacobs you're running back to. I love. I think he's underrated. 563 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: He's in a contract year, which means the guy's gonna 564 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: play big time. So if there was one team that 565 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: I really like, I think to help themselves the most 566 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: mentally and from a personnel standpoint, I think it's the Raiders, 567 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: Dave one step. You're sipping your bourbon. It's Terry Bradshaw's bourbon. 568 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: It looks strong. Is it strong? You know what Terry 569 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: or Terry colin about one hundred and four proof is 570 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: that's strong enough for the normal bourbons are on eighty 571 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: four to eighty seven. So yeah, Terry's making some firewater 572 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: down here kinnes See or whatever wherever wherever he's making it. 573 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: Who coach you look great?
