Speaker 1: if like he was walking around practice up in Minnesota

00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: and the dog came up and just bid him right

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,640

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: thing I was like, I've done that too. Who hasn't

43
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,480

Speaker 1: talk about that on the show? Can we just can

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I talk about that? Because I remember the first time

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Producing is day morning, James. Can I tell you a

75
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: couple of days ago this uh, when this Redskins trade

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: went down. I'm from d C, right, so I was

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: off Twitter. My phone blew up because all my best

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: friends are Redskins fans. And the range of emotions from

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: those three hours from when it was announced to when

80
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: it was revealed that they gave up Kendall Fuller, it

81
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: was extreme, like Redskins fans were not very happy. Well

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: that's why I was gonna ask, so you know you

83
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: you obviously are parting ways with Kirk Cousins, and then

84
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: they bring in Alex Smith. What are the fans? I mean,

85
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: are the Are the fans happy with it? Are they not?

86
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Should be like break the news first? Yeah, I was

87
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna say, we're kind of bearing the media. I think

88
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: if you're listening to the Fantasy podcast in the off season,

89
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: I imagined this might be some of our listeners only

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: sorts of news. Yeah, if it is, it's sad, But no,

91
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: what's the what? What was the what was the fan reaction?

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: I think at first, you, I mean Smith and Cousins.

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: You could argue that they're comparable four years older. Alex

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: is four years older the Cousins. But the compensitory pick

95
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: that the Redskins are getting for Kirk Cousins leaving, I

96
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: think people are forgetting about because that's that third round

97
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: pick they gave up is almost a wash. So you

98
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: essentially traded Kendall Fuller for Alex Smith knowing that Kirk's

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: out the door. But Kendall full is a good play

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: and but Shaw Brillian is a free agent. So really,

101
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: if you don't re sign Brelan, lose Fuller, who's really

102
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: young player, and Scott mcclumen came out that he would

103
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: have never traded him, and then you got Josh Norman

104
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: and nobody else really, So I think what it does

105
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: it allows them to actually team build a little bit

106
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: more now because you do have a little bit more

107
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: cap space this year, especially because what you would have

108
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: paid Kirk this year versus what you're paying Alex Smith

109
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: this year, you have more room unless you build the team.

110
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: But wide ranging emotions, I think people are just they're

111
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: at least happy that the Kirk Cousins it's over. It's over.

112
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: That's a very good point. We will dive deep, dive deep,

113
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: uh into this story into that a We'll talk about

114
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: it from a real life perspective, we'll talk about it

115
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective. We'll break down some contract numbers

116
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: for I mean, we're gonna dive deep into it because

117
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: what the hell, why the hell not? It's the offseason

118
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: and this is the biggest story by far that has

119
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: happened over the last couple of days. We'll give you

120
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl matchup preview as well. We'll talk about

121
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: some interesting matchups that are going to be happening here

122
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday on Super Bowl Gronk versus Malcolm Jenkins, possibly me?

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Is it? Brandon Cooks versus Ronald Darby. A lot of

124
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: interesting matchups certainly, uh in this ball game. And we'll

125
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: talk about some of the more interesting ones, uh coming

126
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: up later in the show. And we'll close out with

127
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: a round of daily depths. But we start your show

128
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: as we always do, with your top fantasy headlines. Oh

129
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: my god, the news. It's all right. It was a

130
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: blockbuster Pro Bowl quarterback Alex Smith got chipped off to Washington,

131
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: k C got a third round pick in a rising

132
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: slot corner in Kendall Fuller in return, at least reportedly right,

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: we talked to the man who broke the story, Terres

134
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: Paler from the Kansas City Start Tores. We welcome into

135
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: the Fantasy podcast. What's up man, How are you doing

136
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: this morning? I'm good. How are you doing? I'm doing good? Man.

137
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: So we we've had a couple of days now to

138
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: digest the trade. Um, can you fill us in on

139
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: some I don't know some details regarding you know, why

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Alex Smith got shipped out at this time to Washington. Yeah,

141
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: the chief needed to get a longer look at Patrick Mahomes.

142
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: They've got to the side of the fifth year option

143
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: in a couple of seasons, and you'd rather decide on

144
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: that with two years playing time under his belt post

145
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: from one, because that numbers sky high for the fifth

146
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: year option. Um. You know. Also you want to try

147
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: to follow the Russell Wilson Seahawks model. We you got

148
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: a great quarterback on a chief rookie deal, um, you know,

149
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons, and during that time, you

150
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: just fortify the roster at multiple positions. It's a really

151
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: good formula. You can find the right quarter act and

152
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the che's believed that they've got it. And also there

153
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: was a need to fortify a lot of spots on

154
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: the team, specifically on the defense of a chance to

155
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: get a third round pick, which is the top hundred

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: pick goes very valuable and an up and coming young

157
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: quarterback that these guys love. Um, it was just too

158
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: good to pass up. All right, there you go. Can

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: you give us a few more detail? How did the

160
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: trade go down? Man? I mean, this is a big name,

161
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: it's a big blockbuster trade. Um, how did the trade happen? Well,

162
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: the Finger Bowl is a pretty good time for teams

163
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: and to discuss different concepts of trade options. And I

164
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: think that she's had multiple offers. Um. I think that

165
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the starting point was the second round pick, which is fair,

166
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: and Washington topped all the offers by throwing in Fuller,

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: who was a player that she's really like and it's

168
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: a plug and play guy, and by giving them a

169
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: third I mean, Washington really steps to the plate. And

170
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: again the Chiefs just could just felt like they couldn't

171
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: pass us up. It's a controversial, controversial move, right, I mean,

172
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about Ay that was highly successful in Kansas

173
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: City and Alex Smith they just went to the playoffs.

174
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I get that they suffered a very tough

175
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: playoff loss, but to this is a move that sometimes

176
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: can lose a locker room. How much uncertainty or angst

177
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: is there among players from what you can tell right now,

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: I think I think there's an understanding of why it happened,

179
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: and it's possible to have that understanding while still, like,

180
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, feeling bad for Alex or wishing the best

181
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: for the guy, because there's not anybody in that room

182
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't love that guy, you know what I mean. So, um,

183
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: but that those two things are not mutually exclusive. I

184
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: think I think players can come to understand that this

185
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: is the best business decision for the team while also

186
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: appreciating everything Alex did. And also, look, it doesn't hurt

187
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes is good man, like in the regular season finale,

188
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: so you know it's gonna be his team, and he's

189
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: just a kid and you're gonna have to continue to

190
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: grow up in that way. But as a football player,

191
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: things this guy can do on the field, it's pretty

192
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: tempting internalizing. Yeah, it's whereas I actually wanted to ask

193
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: about that because you mentioned the Russell Wilson planning and

194
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I love the model obviously in theory of doing that.

195
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs obviously have to have seen something from

196
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: the Homes not just in his college film for them

197
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: to draft him, but also this year of this past season,

198
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Like what what has what has given them the what

199
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: have they seen, you know, behind the scenes, what have

200
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: you seen behind the scenes kind of to give you

201
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: give them the confidence to make this move. Yeah, the

202
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: ability to throw people open consistently, um to make pulling

203
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: plays out of his tail and make difficult roles that

204
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: frustrate the defense. That's the hardest you can't teach that,

205
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: and that's not disensible, you know what I mean. The

206
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: defensive can't counter that. So uh, you know what he

207
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: needed to learn on the basics on the West coast

208
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: and that's just takes times. So you know, I think

209
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: that they feel he's gotten that time. You'll have some

210
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: coring things this year, but you know, the things this

211
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: guy can do. Man, just they feel like it's worth

212
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: the risk. And most people here due to the sands

213
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure players understand as well. All Right, have

214
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: you talked to any players that maybe you know, not

215
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: giving any names here, but maybe we're you know, diametrically

216
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: opposed to the trade, not diametrically opposed. But Travis Kelsey

217
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: yesterday was pretty um. Honestly, he wishes he had another

218
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: year with Alex to see what they could have done. Um.

219
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: At the same time, he says he still loves Patrick

220
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes so also like Derrick Johnson time about a lot

221
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: of veterans because they understand that if you go with

222
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, you're probably not gonna like when the

223
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl this year, you know, it's just it kind

224
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: of lengthen as the super Bowl window a little bit,

225
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: so yeah, like a little. I think the veterans were

226
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: probably just like man, but they also understand didn't expect

227
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: guys to be good soldiers, including Kelsey. Kelsey's numbers might

228
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: go up with my Homes because my Home's ability to

229
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: extend plays and Kelsey's inherent ability to make plays. Sounds like,

230
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, he could he could be up for a

231
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: big season. Are there any other play? Does it kind

232
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: of come to mind? You know? The the Chiefs obviously

233
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: have a ton of explosive talent. Alex Smith had a

234
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: career year in terms of deep passing and everything like that,

235
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: but he's known as more of a conservative pass or

236
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: there are any other guys besides Kelsey that could kind

237
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: of see their numbers increase. Our opportunities go up with

238
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: with my homes Yep, Tyreek Hill, Um Tai Hill deep

239
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: ball threat him my homes to that guy, and man,

240
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean the ball might travel sixty yards in the air.

241
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: You know, like you could just literally go play pitching

242
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: catch because no one can run with Tai Hill, and

243
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: if you don't give him help over the top, he's

244
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna run past anybody. So I think this is also

245
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a really positive effect on the running game

246
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: because you know, Pat has the ability to reach every

247
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: level of the field, and that changes the way defenses

248
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: can play you. I don't think teams are gonna be

249
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: loading up the box as much, which is gonna help

250
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: them run the game honestly, like honestly the Fantasy show, right,

251
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: So if I'm inna if I'm in like a destiny,

252
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: like a fantasy like, you know, keep the Dynasty League.

253
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking my homes. I feel good about that. I'm

254
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: also in on the Chief's offense for the foreseeable future.

255
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: I saw enough about my homes to think that, you know,

256
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: if you can get this guy cheap somehow, I don't

257
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: know if that's possible. I'm not in the dynas. I

258
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: don't know, but like, if you can pick him up,

259
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: do it. And know that a rising tide can float

260
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: all boats. So know that that's gonna help Kareem Hunt,

261
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: not that it helps Spencer wear noted that it helped

262
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: Tie Hill, not that that can help Travis Kelsey. You know,

263
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: this offense can really go to the next level if

264
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is as good as these guys talk about

265
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: him um as and is what I've seen, so I

266
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: would not be afraid straight up to to to bet

267
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: On Pat Mahomes. Okay, can you can you speak to

268
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: what Alex Smith is feeling right now? I don't know

269
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: if you had a chance it to reach out to him.

270
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: But is he excited? Is he disappointed? At how How

271
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: do you think Alex Smith is handing? Yeah, you know,

272
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: I think so many million dollars goes along way. That's

273
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: a good point. And also like Washington pretty pretty QB

274
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: friendly system. Jake Brood is a good coach man, so

275
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: like it's not like you're going to the dregs in NFL. Um,

276
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: you know. So I think he's okay with it. I

277
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: think he wants to stay. He told me he'd rather stay.

278
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: But um, you know, as far as Alex alexan is

279
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: just fine. I think I think at the end of

280
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: the day he will have made nearly a hundred and

281
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: fifty hundred seventy million in the NFL or something. I

282
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: think he's okay. You know. I know he wants the

283
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl though, and um, you know, Washington a little different.

284
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Um as far as like organization wise handle businesses, she

285
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: saw but all things consider it, like that's not like

286
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: a bad situation for him at all. Hey, you mentioned Spencer,

287
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: where it's a name I almost completely forgot. Regarding Kansas City,

288
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: how's his recovery coming? Um, I think I think he's

289
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, and I think he's gonna be a

290
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: really good, um, really good match with Kareem Hunt. I

291
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: am one. I think like the running game's gonna improve

292
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: next year. I do wonder if, like the return of

293
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Spencer cutting the Kareem's workload a bit. Um. Kareem is

294
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: amazing though I'm not that's not a slight on him,

295
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: but like he didn't need he shouldn't have carried the

296
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: workload he did. I mean, ideally, you know, Sprint of

297
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Ware get some of those touches and Shark Hendrick too.

298
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: You know that that that allows you know, I know

299
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Hunt wants to get in a in a in a rhythm,

300
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: but when in the middle of the season and the

301
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: dog days of the season, someone like where it would

302
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: have been helpful. So Um, I think I think he's

303
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: helpful and you know, I think he's somebody that could

304
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: really be a great number two back sharing that load

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: with Kareem. All right, last question for you, man Um

306
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: You're a Hall of Fame voter, right, I am, Hey, man,

307
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: what the what is the deal with Torrell Owens? How

308
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: is this man not in the Hall of Fame? Bro? Yeah? So,

309
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean I can't really talk about what happens in

310
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: the room where this is where they discussed this. But

311
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: what I can say is that I voted for him.

312
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not I'm not really gonna go

313
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: ahead like sending that because I don't agree like I

314
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: voted for him. I mean I can I can say

315
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: this too, Like you guys don't like know what's setting there.

316
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: There's a forty eight selectors who are well sourced throughout

317
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the league, who knows stuff about guys, right, And like

318
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like we discussed everything about a player

319
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: in that room, okay. And it's not like we're saying

320
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get in the Hall of Fame. Torrell

321
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: Owens is gonna get in the Hall of Fame one day. Okay,

322
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: that think that's gonna happen. But like everybody wants to say,

323
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: the hockey does not guy not get in this year?

324
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: This guy not get in. Guys. We can only vote

325
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: in five guys, and there's like forty guys that are

326
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: eligible right now that deserve to get in. Maybe not forty,

327
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: but thirty or twenty five whatever. It's still a lot

328
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: to deserve to get in. So somebody's gonna feel slighted

329
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: every year. And I'll also tell you this, Okay, I

330
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: know Toorell Owens had a great career statistically. Okay, Michael

331
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: Irvin had to wait. Michael Irvin won three Super Bowls.

332
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: Chris Carter had to wait. Receivers generally have to wait

333
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: because tympically, like to balance out the class, you vote

334
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: one guy in in um one guy at a position

335
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: because there's only five. It's not like if they up

336
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: to the seven per year, yeah, but like it's only five,

337
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: so you tympically go one guy per position. There's a

338
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: backlog of safeties that haven't got in. There's a backlog

339
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: of offensive lineman that haven't gotten in. Like, okay, let

340
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: me ask you this. Jane is John Lynch the Hall

341
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: of Famer, no doubt. Is Brian Dawkins a Hall of

342
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: Famer for sure? About how about Steve Hutchinson, Oh yeah,

343
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: he's one of the best offensive lineman ever. That's right.

344
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: How about Brian urlackin, Hey, Lewis listens nine guys and

345
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: that means Randy Moss. Okay, that's ten guys. Five one

346
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: are getting in this year. So I get a little

347
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: fired up about it because I used to think the

348
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: same way until I actually got in the room and

349
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I saw, like how it happens. Like you just gotta understand,

350
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: these are the the most well sourced and like smartest,

351
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: the most not smartest, but you know, these are some

352
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: of the most well sourced and like experienced experience and

353
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: like football. I think these guys all love football. In

354
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: that room, no one's trying to embarrass the game world,

355
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: trying to make the best decision, you know, um, because

356
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: we take the responsibility seriously. So yeah, I've voted for

357
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: to roll, but if somebody else didn't, you know, I

358
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: do understand why you gotta just respect people to pay.

359
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: He will get in, Okay, Just you just don't get

360
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: don't rag guys for not for not putting guys in

361
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: on your timeline. That's us Feller from the Kansas City

362
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: stuff that I did not know. You're gonna get that

363
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: fired up out the best part of the interview, man,

364
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: I know I get that question a lot though. It's

365
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: just like, guys, don't put him in. I need other

366
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: people to vote with me. But he's gonna get in.

367
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: It takes time. Like there's one thing, you know, you

368
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: just put in two receivers this year, and that means

369
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: at somebody at another position. There's at least only three

370
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: other spots. Okay, and I just named all those. Ray

371
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: Lewis is getting in right now. Two other spots. Not

372
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: what we're gonna put a lineman in. How about one

373
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: of them? Safety And by the way, Ed Reid is

374
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: coming up soon. Yeah, he's a lot guy. He's coming

375
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: up soon. Yeah. No, Paula mall lose a lot guys.

376
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: So what we're doing with Dawkins, What are we doing

377
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: with Lynch? You know there's a guy like Steve Atwater

378
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: who's still out there. You know that's a shame. So

379
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. There's just not enough spot. You

380
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: guys just gotta be paid. You gotta understand. Tarrell wants

381
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: to still a young man. He he will have his

382
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: day this year. We'll see, I don't know, we'll see.

391
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: was fired up on that Hall of Fame question. Brot

392
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: he did. I love it? He's got he's got it.

393
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: Well my headsets coming off. I got. He's got a

394
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: good point though about like we get I mean, everybody

395
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: has we were in the Age of outrage, everybody has

396
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: everybody has to be upset about something. And definitely, yes,

397
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: the Age of Outrage pretty good title. It actually is

398
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. Um yeah, that won't be my memoir. That

399
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: will be like my historical look back of this this

400
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: era in time for sure. But anyways, what was I

401
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: talking about? Oh? Yeah, so he has a great point

402
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: though about, like I mean, everybody gets outraged about control

403
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: not being the Hall of Fame. But then like when

404
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: he brought up the point but Michael Irvin having to

405
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: wait and all these guys, it's like Yeah, once he's

406
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, nobody's gonna look back and

407
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: be like, remember how long it took him to get in,

408
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: And like nobody ever we always talk about like he

409
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: should be a first bout Hall of Famer, but nobody

410
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: ever actually ends up like there's no there's no like official,

411
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: there's no gold Club. But you get like, yeah, you

412
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: get the gold jacket, but you also get the silver star,

413
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Fame and the rest of you peasants,

414
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what though they should they

415
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: should there should be a delineate like there should be

416
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: I get that there's the Hall of Fame, you know,

417
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: but like they should have like the Ring of Honor,

418
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, like first tier Hall

419
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: of Fame. Yeah, that would be so stupid, would be

420
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: so for those But that was great though. I was.

421
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: I was happy to see him get very emotional about that.

422
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: That was awesome. He gave us some really really good

423
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: information um regarding Kansas City as well the Chiefs And

424
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: again I really do mean it. Um. If you are

425
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: not following him for Casey Chiefs News, you're doing it wrong.

426
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: This guy's a great source for Chiefs News. Uh, he's

427
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: pretty active on Twitter as well, so follow him on Twitter,

428
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, all right, but let's talk about

429
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: it from a fancy perspective a right, So he's talking about, um,

430
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: uh Mahomes being a dynamic player, Alex gilhar talking about

431
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: how this is a guy that could uh really lift

432
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: the offense here. Do you agree with that assessment? I mean,

433
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: he's certainly a more explosive athlete and has that you

434
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: know how it's her arm, we've we've seen it, and

435
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: then he can make it from you know, awkward platforms.

436
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: He can make deep, outrageous throws on the run. Uh.

437
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a case of whether or not

438
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: this offense all gaels underneath him and how he assumes

439
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: that role as a starter. There could be some bumps

440
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: and bruises there could be. I mean, you know, Alex

441
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Smith is a guy that was only overthrowing like five

442
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: to nine interceptions a year with Kansas City because he

443
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: wasn't taking those chances. So with Mahomes, I mean, one

444
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: of his nicknames is a gun slinger. So like, if

445
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: he's taking those chances, how many are going to break?

446
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: Right for the Chiefs and Fantasy owners and how many

447
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: are gonna are gonna go the opposite direction and take

448
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: the offense off the field. I mean, I think in

449
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: standard redraft, Mahomes is not going to be a player

450
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: that a lot of folks really draft. Maybe as a

451
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean maybe in deeperly you're you're looking at him

452
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: as drafting him as a potential backup or just a

453
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: guy that you're circling on the waiver wire or whatever

454
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: it is. Depends on the hype machine too, like out

455
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: the off season, Like, I mean, people are already really excited.

456
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: Toures gotta going. Yeah, I'm like, I'm putting in offers

457
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: in my dynasty right now. He was. He was really Yeah,

458
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: that was good to hear too, because I mean he's

459
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: obviously embedded with the team all the time, and and

460
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: just the fact like even before I asked a question

461
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: about like what have they seen, they were like, yeah,

462
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean then this is about Pat Malomes. They believe

463
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes can elevate, you know, as he said, like

464
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: raise all tides and at least a good thing about

465
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offenses. We know who's gonna get fed like

466
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: uh with with here he mentioned cream Hunt, like maybe

467
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: getting less of a workload. Well, we'll see. Like he

468
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: handled six of the backfield carries last year, Travis Kelsey

469
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: and UH and Tyreek Hill, they absorbed the combined past

470
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: attempts like this, the ball is going to go to

471
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: those guys. I mean, I guess, I guess that would

472
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: be my question to you know, is is that can

473
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: we rely on that with a new quarterback as well? Um,

474
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: that's that's that's I have a concern, Like I'm a

475
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey owner. I think it two dynasty leagues, and

476
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Terres was like his numbers might go up. I mean,

477
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: he's had a thousand yards each of the last two seasons.

478
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: He had eight touchdowns last year. So for tight ends,

479
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: for those numbers to go up for a tight end,

480
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: that would be that would be insane. Yeah, be pretty tough. Yeah,

481
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty tough. Right, So maybe it takes a

482
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: year or two to get there, But I was gonna

483
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: be some growing the spencer ware thing too, because Paylor

484
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: seemed to be pretty high on spencer ware, and again

485
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned the fact that he's embedded with the team.

486
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: I imagine he's got some inkling that this team would

487
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: like to to use. Spencer Ware when he returns from

488
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: injury as well. Yeah, that, I mean, that's the funny

489
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: thing about the running back position. I mean, I remember

490
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: having kind of the same feeling about when Melvin Gordon

491
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: had his big breakout year, like he would not that

492
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: season would probably never have happened the way it happened

493
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: if Danny did to get hurt and probably Kareem Hunt's

494
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: rookie year if spencer Ware, I mean, I think cream

495
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Hunt was probably gonna take the backfield over at least

496
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: as the lead back in the committee, but like, probably

497
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: never was gonna happen that way if spenc waere didn't

498
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: get hurt in the preseason, although he brought up a

499
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: great point, which is the fact that he's found some

500
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, mid season troubles there and a lot of

501
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: rookies will hit the you know, the proverbial rookie wall

502
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: at various points in the season. Um and it almost

503
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily say it, but it almost seemed as

504
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: if Terrez was saying, hey, listen, if they had you know,

505
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: worked him in a little bit slower than maybe he

506
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't have seen, uh that mid season slide. The way

507
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: that we you know, saw it obviously unfold alright, So

508
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: going back to the other side, Alex Smith now reportedly

509
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: will sign a four year extension million dollars with I

510
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: mean just seventy one million and guarantees in four years

511
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: is just that's bananas podcast That is crazy. Um. Smith

512
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: is now under contract for five years at a hundred

513
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: and eleven million dollars per He is currently thirty three

514
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: years old, so by the time this contract is over,

515
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: theoretically doubt he'll get to last year, but whatever, it

516
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: will be thirty eight by the time this contract is

517
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: theoretically up. On the other side, the trade obviously means

518
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins won't be resigned by Washington. He's a

519
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: free agent and there's wide speculum nation that he lands

520
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: in Denver, although Arizona is also in the mix, as

521
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: are the Jets, As are the Jets, as are possibly

522
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: the Jags, probably not, probably not damn but the Jets

523
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: have an interesting tie in as well, which we'll get to.

524
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: But um, what do you guys feel about with Kirk Cousins?

525
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, if he again? Uh are on. Chris Westling

526
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: also postulates that Denver would be the right spot and

527
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: the lead candidate now to to garner the services of

528
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins franchise. What are your thoughts on him potentially

529
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: going there? Uh, two mile High. I think it'd be refreshing.

530
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: We've kind of suffered through two seasons of the Broncos

531
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like just being terrible and refreshing for it. Yeah,

532
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: like Denver needs They obviously need their quarterback. They have

533
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: two good wide receivers there. Uh, you know C J. Anderson.

534
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: They have kind of a depth in the backfield that

535
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: the defense kind of fell off this year. Um, but

536
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: that also goes hand in hand with the quarterback play. Um,

537
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: and you know they were rotating three quarterbacks all season.

538
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: They need to help. I would love to see him

539
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: land in Denver. I think that'd be great. It's the

540
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: one situation, though, Gil Hard where I feel like I

541
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: felt like maybe possibly they were a quarterback away this year,

542
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: but going to I don't think they're a quarterback. I

543
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: think they have so many needs Denver. Yeah, I mean

544
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: they have some other holes to fill, but they still

545
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: got a lot of pieces on defense. Their defense was

546
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: banged up along the defensive line last year. A lot

547
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: was put on Von Miller. So if those guys are

548
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: healthy again, and if they're not on the field for

549
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, forty five minutes of a sixty minute game

550
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: because their offense can't move the football or you know,

551
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: put points on the board, that's going to help as well.

552
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: I I like Denver as a fit fantasy wise for

553
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins because I think that raises up to Marius

554
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders again, like they were such floor

555
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: plays for the last couple of years, and having Cousins

556
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: there could help them hit their ceilings again. About man,

557
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: here's the catch though, with with him going to Denver.

558
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about all this other talent they've

559
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: got on the defense with these two receivers, but there's

560
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: already talked that if they give Kirk Cousins the big

561
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: fat contract that he get, they're gonna have to cut

562
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: some people, and one of them, if not both of them,

563
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: might be. These two receivers. They combined for twenty point

564
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: eight million dollars in the cap. I think it's eight

565
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: million for Sanders at about twelve ford Marius Thomas, So

566
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: that could be kind of the catches that in order

567
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: to upgrade the quarterback position, they're gonna have to jettison

568
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: one of these two receivers. Um, and that would that

569
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: would immediately the landing spot suddenly looks less appealing. Certainly,

570
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: then they've got to bring you know, maybe they resigned

571
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Cody Latimer to a cheap free agent deal. They have

572
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Carlos Henderson waiting in the wings, is a third round

573
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: pick we didn't see any time as rookie year. So

574
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: then they then they suddenly become a far less interesting offense.

575
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: And and and c. J. Anderson is a candidate to get

576
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: cut as well, even though he had a career year. Yeah,

577
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: I think he's a I think he is a candidate. Um.

578
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: I would be actually surprised if he was on the

579
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: roster next year. But because again they do have depth

580
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: at that position as well. You talk about to Marius Thomas,

581
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: I I do wonder as well if he's a cut candidate. Uh.

582
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: Considering again you talk about his cap hit being twelve

583
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: million dollars next year, dead cap is four point four. Um,

584
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: if you're saving you know, a near eight million dollars

585
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: in the cap. And again where we've seen a decline

586
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: in play I think from Damarius Thomas over the last

587
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: couple of seasons. So I think he's gonna go hand

588
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: in hand with the define and play the quarterbacks. Is

589
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: it though, because I'll tell you what, man just out

590
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: on the field, he just doesn't look like that guy, right, Yeah,

591
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: he's he's had like the hip injury and but it's

592
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: but but the I think the hip injury is why

593
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: we've seen the decline. But that's not an injury that

594
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: goes away, you know what I mean. And he's been

595
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: bothered by it for the last three seasons now. He

596
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: doesn't put up the same numbers. And I agree with you,

597
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: he's definitely a declining player, but I almost like want

598
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: to give him some credit for maintaining like different skills

599
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: than what he had when Peyton Manning was there. When

600
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: he was also like Manning was there, and he was

601
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: also this outrageous athlete that they could just get the

602
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: ball in space, you make great plays after the catch.

603
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: The hip injury combined with age, he's no longer that guy.

604
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: But he's become something he wasn't really great at despite

605
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: his big frame, was like winning contested catches and winning

606
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: in type coverage. I think he's gotten much better at

607
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: that phase of the game. So He's definitely no longer

608
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: like an explosive number one receiver, but I think he's

609
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: a pretty solid possession guy. You know, it's almost a

610
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: credit to him. He's not one of these players like

611
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant that hasn't really That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah,

612
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: he has not really adjusted to the fact that his

613
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: skill set has changed to Thomas is doing. That means

614
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: some of these other veterans are taking a little while guys.

615
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised, honestly, that could be wrong, but

616
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Kirk Cousins took less money

617
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: to go to Denver because he's made so much well

618
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: that and I think he wants stability, and I think

619
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: he wants to win, And I think you see the

620
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: blueprint around the league, especially with guys like Tom Brady

621
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: who have taken less money to actually build a team

622
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: around him. He could not build a team in Washington,

623
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he really wanted to be

624
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: there anyway. So if you go to Denver, I could

625
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: see ol Way convincing him, hey, take a little bit

626
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: of a discount here, swe can keep come taking incentive

627
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: based you had guardages. You get us to the playoffs,

628
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: you hit x amount of touchdowns and and you'll you

629
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: will get paid. It sounds like he wants to go

630
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: to like a first class organization with a chance to

631
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: win in a history of winning. And I think Denver, Yeah,

632
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Um. Alright, so we talked about

633
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: Alex Smith there in Washington, uh, Kirk Cousins potentially being there,

634
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: uh in Denver, but there are certainly some other landing

635
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: spots Arizona, obviously with Carson Palmer retiring. UM. I did

636
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: want to share this note from h Washington Post Mike Jones,

637
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: who noted on Twitter Kirk Cousins, Oh he doesna say

638
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: today right now, USA today? Long time washed the Post

639
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: Mike Jones, who covers the Redskins. Kirk Cousins asked for

640
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: a four year deal nineteen million per with forty four

641
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: million guaranteed by franchising Cousins two years in a row.

642
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Washington decided not to give him that deal,

643
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: but it didn't matter because by franchising Cousins two years

644
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: in a row, they gave him forty four million guaranteed. Anyway,

645
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: and now Washington is paying Alex Smith twenty two million

646
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: per year instead of nineteen million per year, and giving

647
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Alex Smith an additional seventy one million in guarantees on

648
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: this oft This just exemplifies why this front office has

649
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: not exactly been the poster child for function and how

650
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: to manage contracts, among other things. Sorry, Chris, and you're

651
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: a fan of the HUT. As a fan, you also

652
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: probably know that the Washington Front Office has bungled a

653
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: few things in recent history. This isn't just one example here, yeah, many, many, many,

654
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: many many, But this this that that whole situation exemplifies it.

655
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: The good note too that I saw it was that

656
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: was that, um, you know, I think if you look

657
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: at this trade in a vacuum, I like the trade

658
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: for Washington. I think they made the good move here.

659
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: But if you look at it overall and you lay

660
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: out those numbers, you could not have bungled this harder

661
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: than than what Washington. It's just so bad. And while

662
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: that's true, like they definitely bungled this. It's like I

663
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: wrote about this in my reaction piece to this story,

664
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: like dot com slash harmon, you could do that if

665
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: you still choose uh, And like the one thing that

666
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: I think is important to note here is that like

667
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: what you can't judge of, like, alright, finally they have

668
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Alex Smith as their quarterback, Like that's a big downgrade

669
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: from Kirk Cousins. Like it absolutely is. But this situation,

670
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: this trade has made it abundantly clear like he was

671
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: never coming back, that those ties were severed long ago.

672
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: And so you almost like have to judge, all right,

673
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: what's Washington's offense gonna look like now with Alex Smith

674
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to some like sea level free agent or

675
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: some rookie quarterback or god forbid, Colton McCoy, Like these

676
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: were our options looking at it before Alex Smith. So

677
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: it's almost like, good shoot. I mean, they paid Alex

678
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: Smith a lot of money, but that's a lot better

679
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: than the alternative way. And like I said, in a vacuum,

680
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: this one individual move, I think it's I think it's

681
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: a good move. I think it's a smart move, but

682
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: it's just it's just absolutely you wonder how this is

683
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna affect the NFL draft though, in the quarterbacks, because

684
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: you would think the Redskins would have drafted a quarterback

685
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: in the first round. That's out the window. Now you

686
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: have to team build, you have to get some other

687
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: positions on defense or running back. You know what. It

688
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: would be so out. It would be so Alex Smith.

689
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: If they drafted under somebody, I was gonna say, I mean,

690
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about him playing at the life contract, Like

691
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: there will be a Pat Mahomes in Washington, just like

692
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: there was a Pat Mahomes and Colin Kaepernick and comes year,

693
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: not this year, but a couple of years he'll be there.

694
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: Don't work. Can you imagine, Oh my goodness, that would be.

695
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: That would be so Alex Smith. I would feel so

696
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: bad for him. Um, let's talk about you know, Alex

697
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: Smith in in Washington from an offensive standpoint for a

698
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: little bit. All right, So Cousins did like to spread

699
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: it around. I don't know if it was Cousins or

700
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: the offense, but Smith came from a system where he

701
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: largely was highly concentrated in Kansas City. How do you

702
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: see it, Matt Harmon going in Washington with Alex Smith

703
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: under center. Yeah, he leaves one of the most like

704
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: stable offensive ecosystems to like a target distribution table that's

705
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: in complete transition. Because looking at it's easy to say, like, yeah,

706
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Washington definitely has a lot of weapons, but really the

707
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: only established players that you can lock in being there

708
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: in terms of the passing game weapons if you want

709
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: to include Chris Thompson, But then in the receiver group

710
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: is Josh Dockson and Jamison Crowd. Terrell Prior has gone.

711
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: Everybody else is a free agent. The only other guys

712
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: that are gonna be on the under contractor Robert Davis

713
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: who has zero career receptions, and your boy Cal's own

714
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 1: Maurice Harris. There you go. So and when just looking

715
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: at those two like Kirk Cousins, Andy Dalton and Cincinnati

716
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: other these Ja Gruden type quarterbacks, Alex Smith theoretically does

717
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of fit that same mold. What it's the West

718
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Coast system, So I think that's a good fit. It's definitely,

719
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: it's definitely a good fit. It's same terminology, like he

720
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: should slide right into that uh iere. There's one thing

721
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: we know about Alex but he does like the throwing

722
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: too type. He does not like to throw into tight windows.

723
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: He was one of the lowest uh in next Gen

724
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: stats percentage of throwing percentage passes into tight windows. The

725
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: last two years, Josh Dockson was a guy who saw

726
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of his targets last year going into

727
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: tight windows. Kirk Cousins really evolved in that sense of

728
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: the game. I would think this does you know theoretically

729
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: again mean good things for Jamison Crowder and but again

730
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna draft some wide receivers and then the tight ends.

731
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: Like I know, the of our he's seen analysis like this,

732
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: which is to me just like boring stuff. But like

733
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey did great under under Alex Smith, like that

734
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: means Jordan Reid will do great Alex Smith. But like

735
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid carries a ten million dollar cap hit, he

736
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: was will he be on? He vanished from the season

737
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: after six games with another couldn't stay healthy yet. I

738
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: mean Vernon Davis and Alex Smith played together in San

739
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: Franz and that well, that's also true. By the way,

740
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: this was this actually, uh, Vernon Davis turned thirty four

741
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: years old yesterday. This was he played like a four

742
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: year old last This was yeah, but he kind of

743
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: faded as this season one along, and he's gonna he's

744
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: gonna count five point three million dollars against the cap. Again,

745
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: this team is gonna have to squeeze a little bit.

746
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: Now they brought in a big name quarterback, Like I

747
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: just think we don't really know who who Alex Smith

748
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be throwing the ball to it all. I

749
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: do think again it's a good fit for Alex Smith,

750
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: but R I P. Josh Duckson, Man, I don't think

751
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: it's R I P. So Now the reason I the

752
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: reason I say that is because, as Matt Harmon noted

753
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: per next gent stats, is that Alex Smith doesn't like

754
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: to throw into tight windows, and that obviously correlates with

755
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: the eyeball test as well. Josh Dockson is a guy

756
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: that if you look at the next Yen stats for

757
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: UH yards of separation, he's one of the lowest in

758
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: the league UM, averaging just two point two yards of

759
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: separation UM at the time of throw. So it's it's

760
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: it's a situation where he Dockson is is really good

761
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: in contested ball situations. The only problem is Alex Smith

762
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: doesn't ever throw in those tight windows. So that's why

763
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about Josh Doxon. I think

764
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: I think that it's not a great fit in terms

765
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: of quarterback wide receiver. But if there's nobody else there.

766
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: There's nobody else there. I think that's where it goes.

767
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't It doesn't mean Doxon can still have success.

768
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Alex Smith had some success with

769
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Dwayne Bow somewhat of a similar type of wide receiver

770
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: when he first got to Kansas City. And also, like

771
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: Josh Doxon, are all those targets, how many of them

772
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: were stupid fades in the end zone or like or

773
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: just low percentage yolo balls that were thrown up. I

774
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: think in the context of Dockson playing more of a

775
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: full time role in the whole year, having a whole

776
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: offseason working with Alex Smith, like, I would imagine that

777
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: percentage of tight window targets goes down. And if he

778
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: is the guy Jagourden is going to do more things

779
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: to you know, put him in better situations to succeed.

780
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: We can't just take that number from that small sample

781
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: size and immediately transpose it into next year. It's worth

782
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: it's worth noting. I think I think you guys are

783
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: both right there for on James your point like this,

784
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: Why I said it because I think it's worth noting.

785
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: It's something to watch. But I'm with gel Harden that

786
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: I think it like it's gonna be on Josh Dockson

787
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: to develop more as a full time number one wide receiver.

788
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: That's gonna run a lot more routes, isn't just going

789
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: to be needed to throw two in contested situations, which,

790
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: like it's also important to remember for Dockson last year,

791
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: like he has that trump card skill set of being

792
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: a great contested catch receiver. I think he can do more.

793
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: I think he showed that in college, but like he

794
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: was kind of playing, you know, basically his first year

795
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: last year, I was gonna say, like snapped so much

796
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: stuff out of him, not didn't play much in the like,

797
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: didn't do much training camp or any offseason activities either

798
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: because he had the achilles injury his rookie year. So

799
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: it's it's funny to me though, just because going even

800
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: going back to his college tape, he it's almost like

801
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: he enjoys the contact. Yeah, you know what I mean.

802
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: He likes to feel where the defender is at when

803
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: he goes up and gets gets that ball. So again,

804
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: I think schematics, I think you're right. Schematically, they'll figure

805
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: out a way to get him open. But that being said,

806
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: one of his best skills is the fact that he

807
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: can go downfield and win that ball. I just don't

808
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: know if Alex Smith is going to throw them that ball.

809
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: It's worth noting too for for Alex Smith and tight

810
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: window passing, like, yeah, he obviously does not throw many

811
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: tight window passes, but when he did last year and

812
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: this is mostly last year, but again I think you

813
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: can look at it for his entire career, he was

814
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: great when he when he was to do it. So

815
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Tyrie Kielly a great passer rating in tight windows. Alex

816
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: Smith actually sixth among quarterbacks with over d seventy five

817
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: attempts with tight window passers. All right, we'll move on

818
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: the last note I'll give regarding Kirk Cousins. Um, we

819
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: talked about Denver extensively. Arizona obviously in the mix, but

820
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: the the Jets are are a little of a dark

821
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: horse here because Jamming Bates is the new o C

822
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: in New York. Uh was the quarterbacks coach under Mike

823
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: Shanahan for the two thousand eight Broncos. Cousins recognized the

824
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: shanty coaching tree there and said the Bates higher was

825
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: a smart move. So he was a little bit TVs

826
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: there a little bit, you know, a little bit so

827
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dark horse candidate are the

828
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: New York Jets for the services of Kirk Cousins. All right,

829
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: let's I just want to say one one party shot

830
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: trade and it's it's no no insight, but I just

831
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: feel it needs to be said, Like I know r

832
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: G three had himself, he had he made it. He

833
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: brought the little spotlight back on himself when this happened.

834
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: Uh it Jo tweet well he said something about like

835
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: they'll find a way to blame this on me, believe

836
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: like like believe me or whatever. But I gotta say

837
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: that the response, the first response I saw to that

838
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: was like you'll find a way to make this about

839
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: you somehow, believe me or whatever, which was But it

840
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: just made me think, like wow, what, like it's not

841
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: even been It's it's been what six years since they

842
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: drafted him, and from there they've his career has fallen apart.

843
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: It should be a football life about Robert Griffin. This

844
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: this whole situation going from going from when they drafted

845
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: to Robert Griffin the third two now Alex Smith will

846
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: be opening the teen season as their starter like they

847
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: not only they whisked on their franchise quarterback, the guy

848
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: they drafted behind him that people like from the same draft. Yes,

849
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: from the moment Kirk Cousins took the preseason field, I

850
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: remember people in Washington being like, well, maybe this guy

851
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: is better than Robert Griffin. So it turned out to

852
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: be true, and they still blew that situation up and

853
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: now he's no longer than Keep in mind that same year,

854
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: I think was the year that Alex Smith got bench

855
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: for Colin King. It was the same year. It's just like,

856
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: just wild, holy holy hell, Like do things change so quickly,

857
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: not just in not just in the NFL, but particularly

858
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: with the one. All right, let's take a look at

859
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl very quickly. Here, Matt franchise. We'll start

860
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: with you. What is the matchup that you are really

861
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: looking forward to? Yeah, you have Philly RBS versus New

862
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: England Front seven down here. I'm just watching both these teams,

863
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: all right. Neither of these teams have like their one

864
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: feature back. I mean, Dion Lewis gets most of the

865
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: touches for New England, but I think they're gonna work

866
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: James Whiten. Like the preseason postseason historically, I think Rex

867
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: Burker I don't know, we're punishing Rex Burkhead in the

868
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: last game because he's the one who ran into Tom

869
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: Brady's hand. He only had like a couple that's a

870
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: great conspiracy theory. But I mean he's he's a playmaker.

871
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: I think they have to get him involved, you know,

872
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: in the passing games stuff like that. Um. And then

873
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: you know Mike Gillslie who knows if he's even gonna

874
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: be active. But I like that make the trip to

875
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota right there. I saw something on Rotor World about

876
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: like how he was unsure of his own status for

877
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: the game. But I like the fact that both of

878
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: these teams are coming in with like super deep backfields

879
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: and you don't know how they're gonna attack. I think

880
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: they're both going to be pretty conservative at first and

881
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: probably do a lot of handoffs. You know, it's probably

882
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: feeling process punts back and forth. And you know, I

883
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: have Lagarrett Blunt in my Playoff Challenge lineup. I see

884
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: people being like, why would you start Blunt over a Gi?

885
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: A Gi has like the third most rushing yards among

886
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: running backs in the postseason so far. UM. But I

887
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: like Blunt. I think it's you we talked about the

888
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: Blunt revenge narrative. I just think there's so many interesting

889
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: storylines that could happen with these two backfields and both

890
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: teams have You know, Philly has a good run dy

891
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: in New England not so much. But it's a revenge

892
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: off between Dion Lewis and la Garrett Blunt right on

893
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but he didn't play a snap back. Someone

894
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: asked him right and they were like, what's your favorite

895
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: memory or something, and he was like not playing or

896
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: something like that. But I'm still hurt about it, for sure. Right,

897
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: he's still hurt. But I like just both these backfields

898
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: are so dynamic. I think that's gonna be fun. Yeah,

899
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting, right because I think Philadelphia has I

900
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: think they've got a better backfield, um, and they're going

901
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: up against a worse rush defense. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has got

902
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: literally the best rush defense in the NFL. You figure

903
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick will find a way to get those guys involved,

904
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: because he always finds a way to get those guys involved.

905
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: It is an interesting matchup, though, and you'd think you'd

906
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: think the Patriots defense is gonna want to stop the

907
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: run games, So then the Eagles are forced to make

908
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: Nick Foles make plays or mistakes. They've been trying to

909
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: do that all here. I don't know if they've really

910
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: been successful. And again they've been maybe successful here in

911
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: the postseason, but a hell of a lot easier to

912
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: stop a one note offense like the Tennessee Titans, a

913
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: one note offense like the Jacksons l Jaguars. This is

914
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a versatile offense where it's like, oh, great,

915
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: you want to behold the linebackers. Cool, We'll just throw

916
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: it right over the top. So, I don't know, it's

917
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: a it's an intriguing chess match certainly offense defense Bill

918
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: Belichick versus Doug Peterson. But Matt Harmon, what matchup are

919
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 1: you looking forward to? The most to come Super Bowl Sunday? Yeah,

920
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: so I actually just filed a piece on this, the

921
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: mismatches to watch for the Super Bowl. N There, it

922
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: is true. There it is uh so like when you uh,

923
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: when you look at when the Eagles have the ball.

924
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: One thing I'm gonna be watched for is Nelson Aghilar

925
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: versus Eric Row. Our colleague Bucky Brooks talks about like

926
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: finding where's Waldough for the opposing team, And like the

927
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: the guy that you can just find him and just

928
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: attack him and exploit him. And that during the postseason

929
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: has been Eric Row. He's been just dog walked up

930
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: and down the four D in the postseason. It's given

931
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: up fifteen or fifteen targets ten catches when covering the slot.

932
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: That's more than any other player in the playoffs. Uh.

933
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: And I would like Nelson Aghilar to have a pretty

934
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: big game. Use obviously the slot receiver for the Eagles,

935
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: so and they use him the wide receivers and right, yeah,

936
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: he had he caught eight touchdowns from the slot, which

937
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: is more than any other player this year. And then

938
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: when the Patriots have the ball, I think, look, it's

939
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: cliche to say, but Tom Brady under pressure, that's that's

940
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: the thing to look out for the Patriots. Uh per

941
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus allowed forty quarterback hits this year. That

942
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: was the most in the NFL. And the Eagles are

943
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: great pass rushing defense. Uh. They have four players with

944
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: over twenty pressures this year, which is pretty outrageous. Excuse

945
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: seven players clear twenty pressures this year. That's even more

946
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: outrageous than the first thing. I say no, But but

947
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: Brady has the best passer rating under pressure this year

948
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: point five, So I think it's gonna be just big

949
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: about them getting pressure with the front forming that. That's

950
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: what the Giants did when they beat I'd have to

951
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 1: look at again, but I think our next gen team

952
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: actually broke up the pressures too though. Right where if

953
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: the pressures were coming from up the middle of what

954
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady's quarterback rating? And if the pressures came

955
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: from the outside, what was Tom Brady's quarterback If the

956
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: pressure comes from the outside, tom Brady just I mean

957
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: lights out, forget it. But if the pressure comes from

958
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: the inside, as we've seen throughout, his career, passer rating

959
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: goes way down. That's how the Giants beat him twice

960
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Pressure. Brady is one of the

961
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks, like of all time with his pocket movement,

962
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: and it's easier to when the pressures coming around from

963
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: the outside to step up to side step. But when

964
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: you're forty years old and you've got a Fletcher Cox

965
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: bearing down right up the middle, it's a little harder

966
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: to sidestep that, or you know, do the old Russell

967
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: Wilson Pierrouette things. I think that's where that you're right,

968
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: that's that pressure is going to be much more difficult,

969
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: and I think that's where that's where the Eagles are

970
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to win. Harmon mentioned that Eric Rowe, the

971
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: cornerback for the Patriots, he started his career with the Eagles.

972
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, the guy. I always will remember him

973
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: as the guy on Thanksgiving Day that Calvin Johnson scored

974
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Absolutely like from because because whoever the starting

975
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: cornerback was that they got injured and pulled and Eric

976
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: Rowe came in and then the Patriots went out and

977
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: got him and I was like, why why did they

978
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: do that? This is such a classic Patriots move to

979
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: get this guy who was just destroyed. So but he

980
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: can mean in defense, there really weren't many people that

981
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: could cover Calvin down. But if you're coming in on

982
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: he was a rookie, they're like, bro, go cover cover

983
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: this dude, cover Calvin Johnson. Welcome to Yeah exactly, um

984
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: too to both of your points there, PFF has Eric

985
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: Rowe with a forty three points sixth grade, which is bad.

986
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: It's like the hundred sixth graded corner and he is

987
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: the one hundred and six rated cornerback one hundred and

988
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: six rated. It's a lot. That's like, there's a lot

989
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: of quarters, and that's pretty Is he a starter? Like,

990
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: was he gonna play a lot? Yeah, he's a starter

991
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: for them. He's a star. Yeah, that means he's not

992
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: even he's not even the worst rated third cornerback in

993
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: the like the entire league. That's right, that's exactly right.

994
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: Thirty two teams two corners each, so that's sixty four

995
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: if you go to a third and and and when

996
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 1: you're talking about cornerbacks, like your third guys, your slack

997
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: guy is a starter. Now, how much eleven personnels out?

998
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: That's a very good point. So yes, of of all,

999
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: if you're starting three corners, he's doesn't crack and he's

1000
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: start somebody's dime guys better, Holy hell Eagle as well. Right,

1001
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: and then a Dannia Mendola was cut by the Eagles

1002
00:48:54,120 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: as well. There's so much This is an same for

1003
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: me for for my matchups. I'm looking at both of

1004
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: the tight end matchups because you know that the thing

1005
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: with the Patriots is always they try to take away

1006
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: what's your best at. And I think I've been wondering

1007
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: all week, like are they going to try and stop

1008
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: the running game even though they're not good at it?

1009
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 1: Or they're gonna take away Earth's you know, and because

1010
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: he's been such a crucial piece of that offense, a

1011
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: big chain mover, a big play threat, uh and and

1012
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: a mismatch for that offense. And then mccordy is so good.

1013
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: Den McCord is very good, So like, are they gonna

1014
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: try and take away Earth? So they're gonna are they

1015
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: gonna force Fold to beat them through the air and

1016
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: stop the running games? So, because I think Earths could

1017
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: be a big difference maker in this matchup for the

1018
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: Eagles because he's just he's so athletic and you know,

1019
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: you see him putting. I am fascinated by that matchup

1020
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: as well because I think Devin mccordy is good enough

1021
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: to actually erase zach Ertz if they wanted to go

1022
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: straight man to man and just cover that, although they

1023
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: don't haven't really been playing that style of football. So um,

1024
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: I am interested in that matchup very much because I

1025
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: do think Devin mccordy is good enough to legitimately complete

1026
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: Lee take zach Ertz out of this ball game. That

1027
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: being said, if they do that, then that opens up Jeffrey,

1028
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: that opens up that's are that opens up the screen

1029
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: game and stuff Moore. And then of course the big

1030
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: elephant in the room, the big Labrador retriever that plays

1031
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, Rob Gronkowski. How do how do you

1032
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: stop him? I mean, he's he's one of the most

1033
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: unstoppable players in the league at his position. Malcolm Jenkins

1034
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal safety. Did they go him up, did

1035
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: they man him up? Did they do do they do

1036
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: a bracket kind of thing like the Jags did and

1037
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: try and take him out that way? I mean, Jeff

1038
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz is a very good defensive coordinator, So how

1039
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 1: they control Gronk is going to be a big question

1040
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: for me too. I think the one thing that I'm

1041
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: really worried about, um, if you're a Philadelphia Eagles fan,

1042
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: is how do you how do you defend against Danny Amondola?

1043
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: And I know that sounds a little crazy, but Jalen

1044
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: Mills to me, has just been He's Waldo on the

1045
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: Eagles defense. He's been bad. Well, the good the good

1046
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: news there is that Jalen Mills is primarily their left

1047
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: corner back, which I actually think like watch out for

1048
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: when Cook's and him match up, because Cooks has been

1049
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: so great at not only getting catching deep balls, he

1050
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: leads the league in deep all receptions, he also leads

1051
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: the league in defensive pass interferences when on deep targets.

1052
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: So that's one to watch out or for. But the

1053
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: Eagles have a great slot corner and Patrick Robinson, like

1054
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: the total veteran reclamation project that they took on, He's

1055
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: been great this year. He's given up a fifty nine

1056
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: point one pass rating when targeted against slot receivers, which

1057
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: is of course the best in the league. So I

1058
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: think the ex they do have a guy that could

1059
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: help take away Danny ammondle And this one, well, that's

1060
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: the other one to watch. Yes, absolutely no doubt about it.

1061
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 1: Um And of course we we didn't even talk about

1062
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: alshon Jeffrey versus Stephon Gilmore and or Butler there. But

1063
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be another one where again, uh,

1064
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: if they wanted to. I think Gilmore is good enough

1065
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: if they played man, which again I know they don't

1066
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: necessarily play a lot of man, but Gilmore is good

1067
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: enough to basically take away al Sean Jeffrey, I think

1068
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: Butler's the kind of player where al Sean I think

1069
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: can exploit that matchup a little bit because of the

1070
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: size differential. Um. But Gilmore's man, he's a big, physical guy,

1071
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: and uh and I think that's a better matchup for

1072
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Um, then if it's gonna be Butler matched

1073
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: up against al Sean, but again, that's another matchup that

1074
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: that I'm looking forward to. And again, anytime you get

1075
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl, man, you start taking a microscope

1076
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: to these matchups. Man, you know what I mean. It's

1077
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: got me a little more excited to watch it, honestly

1078
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: talking about it right now, right for this morning. By

1079
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: the way, I think I'm gonna take the Eagles. Okay,

1080
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: so we got we got three guys, Wait, Chris, what

1081
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: what was your pick? Should we pick them? Hats? Okay,

1082
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: so we got three on the Eagles, it's me, gil Hart,

1083
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: and Harmon and we got two on the Patriot. You

1084
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: guys are all taking the Eagles, Dreamers crazy, Listen. This

1085
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: team can just send waves of diverse attacks on such

1086
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: an offense and then on defense, I mean like they

1087
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: have but toWin Brady's to go. They have all but

1088
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: they have guys in their front seven. But he was

1089
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 1: bit by a dog in training the dog. The question

1090
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: is who's better Time or the Philadelphia Eagles? Because Tom's

1091
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: already beaten Time. So if the pools are better than Time,

1092
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: then maybe they can beat Tom Brady. Well, we're not

1093
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: on the danger zone right now. Put to put the

1094
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: put the white board away. Stop looking at the Nick

1095
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: and Brady have been to an equivalent of a half

1096
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: of regular season worth the super Bowls. You know they

1097
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: say they're eight super Bowl You know that's ship in

1098
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: that context is really hard to it. Yeah, that is insane.

1099
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: All right, So let's close out your show with a

1100
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: round of daily DAPs. Matt flat Chase will start with

00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: you what you got? Yeah, so I'm gonna daily DAPs

1102
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: the new justin Timberlake Chris Stapleton music video. First, say

1103
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: something I don't know. Gilhart said he's seen it, but

1104
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: I watched it. If you have an opportunity to like

1105
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: stream it to your big screen TV or whatever you

1106
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: got at home, um, and just turn the lights off

1107
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: and turn the sound up and make sure there's no distractions.

1108
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: It's six six minutes and twenty two seconds. It is

1109
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: I like needed a minute to recover after I was like,

1110
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, hold on a second, I need to

1111
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,359

1112
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: the song is really good. I think Chris Stapleton helped

1113
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: him write it. And second of all, the video is

1114
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: one take of them doing this. It's just a live

1115
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: take of the song and it's gorgeous. It's in like

1116
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: a yeah, it's one shot, and it's in like this

1117
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: old building that I don't know if it was a

1118
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: former hotel, but there's like these old elevators and basically

1119
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: justin Timberlake starts up on this like digital pad, like

1120
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 1: doing some beats, and then I'm like, what is he deejaying?

1121
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: And then he goes he starts singing, and he's miked

1122
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: up and he's walking through this building the whole time,

1123
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: and he picks up his guitar, he gets on the

1124
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: elevator and and there are well it's amazing. You gotta

Speaker 1: I always talking about the sports and stuff. And there

1140
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: was a really good series for the the championship of

1141
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: the tournament at the International last year in August, which

1142
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: is the biggest one where there's like a twenty five

1143
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: million dollar prize pool. The team Liquid just wiped the

1144
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: floor with this other team Nuby, and then those teams

1145
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: met again in this championship and went to went to

1146
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: the best of five series and Nubi got revenge of

1147
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: course with their their prize pool was much much, much smaller,

1148
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: but it was a really good series, so depths of

1149
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: them for winning and also daily depths to this Quincy

1150
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: Jones article. I don't know if you guys have seen

1151
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have seen it going around, but

1152
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: GQ did a really lengthy interview with Quincy Joe and

1153
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: the whole premise is basically, Quincy Jones is a story

1154
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: about that from I mean, he's eighty four years old

1155
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: and has been running around with literally all of these

1156
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: famous people through all from all different walks of life.

1157
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: And I only got about halfway through it yet last

1158
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: night before I wanted to fall asleep, but it was.

1159
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: It was really interesting. And if you haven't, if you're

1160
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: interested in that or his music stories run around with

1161
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: Sinatra and things like that, just check it out. It's

1162
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. And he's eighty four years old and

1163
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: claims that he's going to live to a hundred and

1164
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: twenty or so scientists tell him because he goes he

1165
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: spends six he spends six days a year at like

1166
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 1: some crazy Swedish like science lab and doing all this stuff.

1167
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: And he says that they think he can make it

1168
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: to twenties. So so, so Quincy Jones and Tom Brady

1169
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: are both fighting time. Yes, well right now, Quincy's got

1170
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 1: a big lead. Well Tom Brady's NFL career at least, well,

1171
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: I mean different different layers again Tom Tom Brady has

1172
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: already beaten time. That's that's what I've I've been told.

1173
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting. I'm pretty sure. Well that's what I

1174
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: was told. So I was throwing the tap towel. I

1175
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: think he's be time. So time is whatever and and

1176
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: one and that one is Tom Brading. But yeah, that article,

1177
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: I haven't read it yet, but I want to read it.

1178
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: I will daily adap. I guess. Twenty four years ago, yesterday,

1179
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: the Wu Tank Clan released Cream Hip Hop anthem Um,

1180
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: and it reminded me of the fact that the very

1181
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: first piece of music I ever bought was a cassette

1182
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: tape of thirty six Chambers. Awesome. You know what, I

1183
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: think the first one I ever purchased with my money

1184
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: was what was it? Yeah? Yeah, hell yeah. I loved

1185
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: Weird when I was a kid. To first of all,

1186
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: he's I mean, I know this is gonna sound weird.

1187
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: I think he's a genius. He is. Absolutely The dudes

1188
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: had a like what thirty plus your career now with parody,

1189
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: and like he he puts out an epic hit like

1190
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: once every couple of years. That's what I'm saying, Like

1191
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: he does it well, like it's not like I mean,

1192
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: I guess that it's corny or whatever, but still it's

1193
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: like it's still like hits. Yeah, he's you know, he's

1194
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: rich as hell. Yeah, it's left his white Nerdy was great.

1195
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: That just came out like several years ago. And then

1196
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: didn't he do a blurred lines uh parody? I don't know,

1197
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sure that would be great. Yeah,

1198
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, the first piece of me. What was

1199
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: the first piece of music you guys bought mine? I

1200
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: think was a Beach Boys cassette cassette tape. Yeah, produce, Chris,

1201
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: I think Snoop and Dre. Nothing but a g Thing

1202
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: single that was unexpected, cassette that was unexpected. Cassette tape though, Yeah, okay,

1203
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: was unexpected. I don't know, it just seems unexpecting. Are

1204
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: you attacking him? I think you're under attack Chris. Well,

1205
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: First of all, James is hip hop guy. You grew

1206
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: up in the East Coast though, right, oh yeah, okay,

1207
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: But I'm saying like they're obviously a West coast so

1208
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: we could listen to it. It's not that I understood,

1209
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: I get it. I don't think it mattered. I was

1210
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: Northern Virginia. You know, there's a lot of East Coast

1211
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: rap groups. But I think, but that's what I'm saying,

1212
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,640

1246
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: of every like most of the politicians like awkward clapping

1247
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: yet there and there's so many like just they have

1248
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: the gifts or the video clips, like some of them.

1249
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: The way they're clapping, it's so weird and it's it's

1250
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: who's clap because also that the rating They describe it

1251
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: and then give a rating system on the number of

1252
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: claps for you know, five for originality, four claps, four

1253
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: claps for anger, Milannia Trump got like five claps for

1254
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: bravery and like all sorts of one. But it's really funny.

1255
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Who was your favorite clap that they highlan in there?

1256
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: I think mine's Ben Carson, Ben Carsoner, Timkine. Tim Caine's

1257
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: is great because he looks he's red faced, drunk as hell.

1258
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: He's like he's like hate clapping, and his hands are

1259
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: like like his his fingers, his fingers aren't involved at

1260
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: all of them, just like it's sad lashing. And Ben

1261
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Carson's is like, I don't know, he looks like some

1262
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: sort of like cartoon character that's very giddy because his

1263
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: hands are like perfectly upright and close together. But it's

1264
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: pretty funny. The article is hilarious. It's hilarious, like, yeah,

1265
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't matter what you think of like politics

1266
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: or anything. It's worth it just just for that. I

1267
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: would say, those two are great. However, I mean Trump's

1268
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: is pretty funny too because like what obviously, but like

1269
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: because because they have you know, because he's he have

1270
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: the mic right up there, and he was like clapping

1271
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: for himself at some point. It was right into the mic.

1272
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: And it's so fun because I listened to like a podcast,

1273
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: like a political podcast, he claps for himself whatever, of course,

1274
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: but that I don't know, it's like me dapping myself.

1275
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: But god, but it's but yeah, it's like it's a

1277
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,920

1278
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,240

1279
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: morning like of them recapping the state of the Union,

1280
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,560

1281
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: annoying clap like right into the mic, And I'm like, oh,

1282
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 1: it's it's Trump. But then the other one, and I'll
