Transcript
- 0:00Hey there, everybody, it's Jeff. I wanted to let you know that
- 0:02we recorded this podcast episode and Opposition Territory podcast on Tuesday, April thirtieth,
- 0:08twenty twenty four. By the time you hear this, some things may have
- 0:11changed here there, but we hope you enjoy the show. All right,
- 0:30folks, welcome to Opposition Territory here at the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show,
- 0:34the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast show in the world. That's right,
- 0:37eleven years strong. We got a great discussion coming your way as we still
- 0:42continue to digest the NFL Draft, the talent that was taken, but more
- 0:47specifically, on this particular episode of Opposition Territory, we're gonna be getting into
- 0:51the NFC East, how the dynamics have changed a bit, what the Washington
- 0:56Commanders did, what the New York Giants did, what the Cowboys did as
- 1:00well, and of course the Philadelphia Eagles. What these teams did to not
- 1:04only help grow their teams in the future, but hopefully get to that next
- 1:08echelon of where each team wants to get to and where they want to be.
- 1:14We got a great discussion coming your way. We got a great guest,
- 1:15so let's get to it. It's great to have back on the podcast,
- 1:19coming to us from bloggintheboys dot com. You know, we love our
- 1:23SB nation sites, but I have not enjoyed the SB nation decision to get
- 1:27rid of some podcasts. And it's great to hear his voice. I told
- 1:30them right before we hit the record button. It is actually good to hear
- 1:34his voice because I missed it in our podcast feed. We've got the one
- 1:36and only Rjocho. RJ Buddy, thanks for jumping on our Opposition Territory pod
- 1:40this week. Of course, Jeff, thanks for having me, Thanks for
- 1:42giving me the chance to stretch my vocal forwards. Yes, these days my
- 1:47wife and two year old son they get to hear all my Cowboys takes and
- 1:51they're really annoyed. I mean they're just like, dude, find another outlet
- 1:53for this, please. They're still hearing about Jerry Jones and everybody. So
- 1:57it's nice to be with you. It's great to be you know, it's
- 2:00great to be talking to you. We're over zoom here and it's great to
- 2:01see you. Love your little studio area that you have there in the background.
- 2:06Folks can't see it here because we are only audio. Interestingly enough,
- 2:08RJ and I were talking about the benefits of video as well, So who
- 2:12knows what's going to happen with regard to that as it pertains to the PST
- 2:15podcast show. But I do want people to know that they can find your
- 2:19work on YouTube as well, RJ, so t help folks where they can
- 2:23look you up and get some real good content from you over on YouTube.
- 2:28I appreciate that. Yeah, obviously our podcast situation is a bit influx,
- 2:31and you know, we're hopeful, you know that there will be some sort
- 2:35of resolution. But in the meantime, the Block and the Boys YouTube channel,
- 2:38you can search for it and obviously just subscribe black videos. That always
- 2:42helps, you know, populating that, you know, two to three maybe
- 2:46four times a week. Obviously, last week was a bit busier than usual,
- 2:49making sure that I still have some outlet to provide my level of annoying
- 2:53thoughts all I did with the Cowboys and how displeased I am with just about
- 2:57everything they do these days. But I appreciate the opportunity for for you to
- 3:00shed some light on it. Absolutely, Hey, and Eagles fans, you
- 3:01could head on over and make some comments too. I mean, I'm sure
- 3:05Argie would absolutely love that contaminate your algorithm. I love that, Yes,
- 3:08absolutely well, Our Jeb wanted to bring you on to really talk about this
- 3:13NFL draft, specifically with regard to the NFC East. You're always so good
- 3:16to jump on the show to talk about NFC issue storylines with us. But
- 3:22I've just been reflecting on this draft a decent amount over these past couple of
- 3:24days here, and it was truly astonishing how we saw so many offensive positions
- 3:30being drafted in the first round. A lot of folks are saying, why,
- 3:34you know, why would that surprise you? It's an offensive league.
- 3:36I mean, it wasn't until the fifteenth pick where we saw our first defensive
- 3:39player taken. And again it was a little surprised by that. And here's
- 3:42why, because I viewed this past year in the NFL as the year of
- 3:46the defense. I've talked to our good friend Mark Schofield about this. Scoring
- 3:51was down bit last season, and it seemed like we saw a resurgence of
- 3:55the quote defender in the NFL. So that's why the draft kind of surprised
- 4:00me in a way. It seemed like the momentum and pendulum shift had begun.
- 4:05Swinging a little bit doesn't necessarily reflect drafts. I understand that, but
- 4:09I'm wondering, were you kind of surprised by how the first round this twenty
- 4:13twenty four draft really looked when you reflected on it. Obviously, I'm not
- 4:18surprised by the quarterbacks, right like, because at the end of the day,
- 4:20whether it's an offensive or defensively, you've got to have one of those.
- 4:25And by extension, I'm not surprised by the tackles, just because you
- 4:28can, you know, offensive line play at least it feels like has really
- 4:31become you know, last year, if anything there was a shortage of you
- 4:34know, it was it was quality offensive lineman. And so I am a
- 4:39bit surprised at the wide receiver situation just because you know, every year we
- 4:44talk about, oh, there's even more available now in college football. Now,
- 4:47I mean, I think the floor for what is average is just rising,
- 4:51and maybe that's kind of what it is. And so if Malik Neighbors
- 4:56is a separator for the Giants, then he's worth having. Obviously, I
- 4:59mean there's probably five wide receivers in the NFL, maybe, and that's kind
- 5:02of a moving you know, number. I think that that are like true
- 5:05and total difference makers. I think that one place for the Eagles, I
- 5:09think one place for the Cowboys. I think justin Jefferson Jamar Chase, right,
- 5:12like Tyry Kill's there some weeks, I'm on Russ Saint Brown is in
- 5:15there. Actually most weeks he's in there. But you know that club kind
- 5:18of changes on a week to week basis, And so I think it's it's
- 5:21worth having one of those guys, and some teams realize it's worth having two
- 5:25of those guys. I would put the Eagles in that box as well,
- 5:28And so, I mean it is strange, and I think if college football
- 5:31is not feeding you the top defensive prospects, then it's you know, not
- 5:36worth risking. I mean even you know, just using you know, my
- 5:40boy, your boy, you know, based on the Penn State, you
- 5:42know, hanging above your shoulder. Michael Parsons, the evaluation on him entering
- 5:46the NFL was wrong at that, Like he is one of the best defenders
- 5:49in the NFL, and he was evaluated as an off ball linebacker. So
- 5:51it's so much more difficult I think to project and to predict players being difference
- 5:56makers at that position, and so if you're an NFL general manager, you
- 6:00want to keep your job, and so you've got to go with the high
- 6:01flair prospects. Those are generally offensive players. Michael Parson's reaction, I didn't
- 6:06plan on asking you this though. To Quinn Mitchell's being drafted to the Eagles
- 6:12was was one of the great It's what I love. I've always loved about
- 6:15Michael Parsons. Yes, he's on Dallas Cowboys. I rooted for him when,
- 6:17of course he was on the Penn State Nitney Lyons team and was such
- 6:21a difference maker there. But his honesty always comes through. I don't know
- 6:26what were your thoughts with regard to his reaction, honestly, and I don't
- 6:30know if you saw this, because the draft can be a thing where you
- 6:32kind of fall in, you know, to the you know, the rabbit
- 6:34hole with your own team. Yeah, Micah had a reaction to the Cowboys
- 6:39pick. I don't know if you saw this when when Dallas took Tyler Guy
- 6:42and then that kind of took center stage. Yes, it is among Cowboys
- 6:45fans, and so I would offer that while it is cool, certainly from
- 6:48an Eagles fans perspective like, oh wow, Micah's honest and whatever, and
- 6:53the Howie Roseman love is just everywhere. So I think there's there's already that
- 6:56like callous built up for Cowboys fans. Yeah, most Cowboys fans are reacting
- 7:00to how he felt about Dallas's pick and how you know, inappropriate. It
- 7:05feels like a heavy word, but been inappropriate for anyone who missed it.
- 7:09He was just kind of sulking. It wasn't great. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:12it did not reflect great leadership. It wasn't a great like I'm super pumped
- 7:16that this dude's on my team kind of vibe. And so that's, you
- 7:20know, Mike has worn a little bit thin, if I'm being honest,
- 7:23on a lot of Cowboys fans this offseason, and that's just kind of the
- 7:27way it goes sometimes. But I do find him to be entertaining. I
- 7:30agree with you, yep. Absolutely. All right, Well let's get into
- 7:32some NFC teams here, some NFC East teams, i should say, in
- 7:36terms of reflecting on what they did within this draft, and I'd like to
- 7:41first start out with your team, the team that you follow, you cover,
- 7:45team you root for, RJ, the Dallas Cowboys. So I mean,
- 7:48it's a general two part question here, what did you like? And
- 7:51then what did you not like about this Cowboys draft? After it was all
- 7:56said and done. Let's start with what you did like first. I love
- 8:00the Dallas traded down in the first round that made Thursday and had a lot
- 8:03of fun they entered. Obviously this draft really shy at a lot of positions,
- 8:09and I would say that that was, you know, majorly of their
- 8:11own doing, which was just a strange way to go about this whole thing,
- 8:16But so it was it was essential to them to obviously pick up as
- 8:20much capital as they could. They obviously didn't have a fourth round draft pick
- 8:22because of the trade Lance trade, and so to get that extra third to
- 8:24get Detroit to overpay was just wonderful, and especially you know, with the
- 8:30benefit of hindsight knowing that they got Cooper bb there to obviously pair with Tyler
- 8:33guid In. As far as new players along their offensive line, I'm extraordinarily
- 8:37thrilled with that. I think they took for the most part, the right
- 8:41you know, they threw the right darts on Day three. If if I
- 8:43had to quibble, it would be with the fact that they didn't come away
- 8:46with a running back, and I can't believe that. You know, we're
- 8:50at this day and age in the NFL, we're upset about a lack of
- 8:52resources spent at the running back position. But given that they I think what
- 8:56really bothers me is that it seems obvious that they're their whole strategy was that
- 9:01Zekelly would be returning, so they didn't need to spend a pick on a
- 9:03running back, and I just don't agree with that. And it's I hate
- 9:07disparaging Zeke's name because I obviously have enjoyed a lot of his all of his
- 9:09career, but that just doesn't seem like a good process to me. But
- 9:13it seems like they were hell bent on executing it no matter what. What
- 9:16do you think? From what I mean, you did talk about what you
- 9:20what you didn't like, though, but I think I think with this everything
- 9:24that I've read with the Dallas Cowboys draft, it really was basically an A
- 9:28A minus type of draft. When you look at those, you know,
- 9:31even day three picks, the possible ceiling for some of those gentlemen. Is
- 9:35there anybody that sticks out to you that US Eagles fans should really be keeping
- 9:39our eyes on, perhaps not necessarily this season, but within the within the
- 9:43coming years. I'm excited about Ryan Flornoy, who was their six round draft
- 9:46pick out of Southeast Missouri state wide receiver. You know, I know that
- 9:52Eagles fans just have to cope and refuse to acknowledge that Dak Prescott is their
- 9:56father. But but he has. You know, we talked about Ceedeelamb a
- 10:01little bit. Michael Gallup's now gone, obviously, Brandon Cooks is around,
- 10:05but and Jalen Tolbert has been really unimpressive through his two seasons in the NFL.
- 10:09There there is an opening, I think for somebody to kind of carve
- 10:13out as an offensive pass catcher. And we saw what Dak Prescott did with
- 10:16Jake Ferguson last year. Ryan Florinoy is a really fast player. I could
- 10:20see that hitting, you know, if you're if you're just trying to close
- 10:22your eyes and imagine things, and so that'd be certainly somebody that I would
- 10:24keep, you know, keep my eyes on from a distance. All Right.
- 10:26I don't want to make you keep talking about the Dallas Cowboys here because
- 10:30I you know, I've read some of your tweets over the over the course
- 10:31of these past few weeks, and it hasn't necessarily been happy, go lucky,
- 10:37you know, Rainbow's and lollipop. So we'll move on to the Washington
- 10:41Commanders here. Look, the Commanders you know, got their hopeful franchise quarterback
- 10:46the future in Jayden Daniels, who I actually believe is probably the best quarterback
- 10:52prospect from this draft class. They had five selections on day two, which
- 10:58is what any re building team should really want. Adam Peters, who came
- 11:03over from the forty nine Ers, appeared to have really nailed this first draft
- 11:07for the Commanders here. What were your thoughts on the Washington Commanders their draft?
- 11:11Did you like certain things not like certain things? Are we kind of
- 11:15overblowing you know? Again those five selections on day two? What are your
- 11:18thoughts here? RJ Well, the Jen Daniels pick. I think we kind
- 11:22of maybe misevaluate these like and I would say that's the case for like all
- 11:28the top consensus chock picks, just because we're so used to them, like
- 11:31we're so like there's such assumptions that once it becomes formal, it's just a
- 11:35matter of like, Okay, cool, Like I've dealt with this reality in
- 11:39my mind for a month right now. You know it's not new information to
- 11:41me, but you know this isn't about Jayden specifically. But what I've really
- 11:46been impressed by is how I think a lot of teams tend to It takes
- 11:50that first year of a quarterback on a rookie contract until they really start building
- 11:54around them and really trying to capitalize on that. And I really respect the
- 11:56commanders have said, no, we're going to treat year one as part of
- 12:00the years to take advantage of. And so did they overpay a lot of
- 12:03players in free agency? Absolutely, but you're in a position where you can
- 12:07overpay players, so who cares. But as awesome as Jane Daniels is that
- 12:11Johnny Newton pick is probably the most terrifying thing I joked about Dak Prescott.
- 12:16If there is one sector of the NFC East that has given him trouble over
- 12:20the years, it is the interior of Washington's defensive line and Dearn Payin and
- 12:24obviously kind of that that heyday. So for them to kind of go back
- 12:28to that well and for dan Quinn to be the one calm the shots now
- 12:31defensively is a bit unnerving for me. So I am I'm pretty bummed.
- 12:35I mean, I really, if I had to throw out like a weird
- 12:39prediction for twenty twenty four, it would probably be that Washington wins the NFC
- 12:41East, just because I could see Dallas and Philly both regressing a bit for
- 12:46different reasons, in Washington just kind of being the benefit of that. So
- 12:48I'm I'm really nervous about the future. I'm nervous that they're I'm it's a
- 12:52weird thing because I'm very happy for their fans, because I don't want to
- 12:56speak for you, but it's not it hasn't been enjoyable that they've just been
- 12:58this like joke of a franchise in the division, and so I am happy
- 13:01that there is some legitimacy to them now, but I'm also bothered that these
- 13:05are now two difficult games of the Cowboys, and they were walks in the
- 13:07park for so long exactly. It bothers me, You're absolutely correct. It
- 13:11bothers me how terrible of an organization that the Washington Commanders have been for a
- 13:16very very long time. Same with the New York Giants. So we're going
- 13:18to get into in just a second here. And the fact that it seems
- 13:22the NFC East is just about the Eagles, just about the Cowboys. I
- 13:26like, as a football fan two see competition when you get down into the
- 13:28weeds and you say these games are going to be a little bit tougher.
- 13:31As you were just referencing RJ. You know, we want to see the
- 13:35easier games. We want to see our teams play the easier games. But
- 13:37at the end of the day, we love football. We love that competition.
- 13:39And it's kind of nice to see the Washington Commanders where they are at
- 13:43right now on this upswing. I'm not sure I'm with you necessarily on them
- 13:48perhaps taking the NFC East. I don't know. I want to see what
- 13:52happens here with this Dallas Cowboys team and with the Eagles as well. As
- 13:58we're moving along here during this off season, and my gosh, we have
- 14:01so much time even until training camp starts here. So but I did reference
- 14:05New York Giants here, and let's get into them next. They had a
- 14:07very interesting draft as well. You talked about Leak Nabbers. He was a
- 14:11top wide receiver prospect, and they appear to have added a few other potential
- 14:15starters for a team that is desperately needing some talent, including tight end Theo
- 14:20Johnson and safety Tyler Neuban uh one of the top safeties in this draft as
- 14:26well. So when you look at what kind of team and organization the Giants
- 14:28have been in recent years and reflecting on you know, the guys that they
- 14:33acquired through this draft, where did they get it right or wrong in the
- 14:37draft this year? In your opinion, I think that that ultimately comes down
- 14:43to how good of an NFL player JJ McCarthy is, right, like,
- 14:46this is this is the you passed on JJ McCarthy draft, and that's a
- 14:50good or a bad decision for you. And if you know, it feels
- 14:52somewhat reminiscent. And Melik is awesome, I mean to be clear, and
- 14:56I'm you know, upset about him winding up at the nfcast. But do
- 15:01I in any way wish that Washington had drafted Justin Herbert over Chase Young way
- 15:05back when no, you know what I mean? That worked out wonderfully and
- 15:07so this this has shades of that for me, whether or not, I
- 15:09don't. I don't think anybody believes J McCarthy has the potential to be Justin
- 15:13Herbert, but if he's a competent franchise quarterback, I mean, I don't
- 15:16think any of us think that Daniel Jones is for the Giants beyond twenty twenty
- 15:20four. So I mean, honestly, what would be truly hilarious because you
- 15:26and I don't mean to make every team's you know, kind of discussion about
- 15:28the Cowboys, but you mentioned my tweets and how down I am on them.
- 15:31I'm so down on the Cowboys that I kind of want them punished for
- 15:35their for their you know, idiocy. And it would be so funny if
- 15:41they messed around with this Dak thing and let him hit free agency and the
- 15:45Giants threw the bag at him next year and all of a sudden, Dak's
- 15:48walking into Jalen High at the leak whatever else they've got going on, I
- 15:50mean, and they had to kind of live with that, you know,
- 15:54twice a year for the foreseeable future. And I don't know that the Giants
- 15:56are necessarily planning on that. I respect that they have some conviction in not
- 16:00choosing JJ McCarthy and not forcing a quarterback the way they did with Daniel Jones.
- 16:04But I mean they are definitely I think among the primary lurkers, you
- 16:08know, next offseason for you know whoever, the would be quarterbacks that hits
- 16:12free agency es at the top of the draft. I didn't plan on asking
- 16:15you about this, but we're talking about quarterbacks like Daniel Jones. We're talking
- 16:18about quarterbacks that are just put into impossible situations from an NFL standpoint, trying
- 16:25to learn the league, understand the culture, and a plethora of issues that
- 16:30come with that. And you know, you take a look at a guy
- 16:33like Michael Pennix who is drafted by Atlanta, but yes, Kirk Cousins is
- 16:37down there. Penix is not going to be starting this season. It's not
- 16:40going to happen. And I want, I really do wonder if that's the
- 16:42way that NFL franchises really need to go. Yes, there is a win
- 16:47now type of mentality. We get that, I mean, because there's economics
- 16:52behind that as well. But I think that stymy's in the end and from
- 16:56the long term, various franchises and teams into putting good products on the field,
- 17:02and putting good quarterbacks on the field arguably the most important position in sports.
- 17:07And I wonder if the Atlanta Falcons are actually doing it well, Teams
- 17:11like the New York Giants are not doing it well. Caleb Williams is going
- 17:15to be starting in Chicago. JJ McCarthy is going to be starting up up
- 17:19in Minnesota. I just I don't know if taking rookies right out of the
- 17:23gate and saying, okay, now the team is riding on you is the
- 17:27best strategy. I don't know what are your thoughts on this. I mean,
- 17:32I think that you know, this like subject is so fascinating because it's
- 17:36so difficult to get everyone to agree on anything. To use Dak Prescott as
- 17:41an example, his rookie year, he obviously had an enormous amount of success,
- 17:45but he came into a situation where the roster was really in a good
- 17:48place. Yeah, and certainly where the offensive line was in a tremendous place.
- 17:52And to use Jalen Hurts as an example, I know he didn't play
- 17:55a ton as a rookie, but obviously his you know, and even that
- 17:57first full season in twenty one one wasn't that impressive. But even as a
- 18:00young player in twenty two, the roster was in such a tremendous place that
- 18:04it really helped him. I mean, Patrick Mahomes is amazing. He sat
- 18:07for a year, but even his first season, I mean, they had
- 18:08Tyreek Kell and Travis Kelcey, and obviously life is a lot easier. And
- 18:11so I look at you know, everyone who we mentioned or who you've kind
- 18:15of thrown out. JJ McCarthy has Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, Kayleb Williams,
- 18:21obviously everybody's talking about the situation he's walking into. Jayden Daniels has Terry
- 18:26Mclaw and Johan Dotson. I mean, like, I think that a rookie
- 18:29quarterback in New York might have been swimming the most upstream, while I like
- 18:33Jalen Hyatt. You know, that's a Moleikleist world. Obviously, if you
- 18:36take JJ McCarthy, I mean, it makes sense in wanting to prepare some
- 18:40sort of soft landing for them. Yeah, and the Michael Pennock situation is,
- 18:42you know, incredibly different and unique in its own way. But I
- 18:48think that's you know, if we learned anything from Bryce Young, it's probably
- 18:51that you know, going to a team where somebody like Adam Feelin is your
- 18:53primary pass catcher, isn't going to set you up for success, and you
- 18:56you have to do everything you can to again just create the soft off this
- 19:00landing spot the most runway possible, and I don't think that New York is
- 19:03there and maybe they understood that, and if they did, then kudos to
- 19:06them. But you know, a lot of Giants fans are going pretty impatient,
- 19:10obviously with their lack of playoff success. Well I say that, I
- 19:12mean obviously understanding they want a game, but I don't know if that game
- 19:15really kind of like nobody really ever talks about it or cares about it.
- 19:18It's just a weird, random week in in NFL history. It's just it's
- 19:22there. They were able to mark a checkbox, you know, you know,
- 19:26they checked it off their their list basically. So again, folks were
- 19:29talking r Jocho from blogging Theboys dot Com at r Jochow on Twitter. Are
- 19:34you on threads as well, buddy? Yeah? A thread? Yeah,
- 19:38yep, all right, I'm pretty sure. I fay you. I get
- 19:41on I get on threads every day, but it's like it's just not the
- 19:45same. It's just not the same, RJ. I think that everyone feels
- 19:51that way, but a lot most people have a difficult time acknowledge of that.
- 19:53Yes, you know, we'll see you know what it else into the
- 19:56yields exactly. All right. Finally here before I let you go, buddy,
- 20:00the Philadelphia Eagles, they addressed the secondary again. As I mentioned with
- 20:03Quinjon Mitchell, Cooper, de Jean Jeremiah Trotter Junior is going to be fun
- 20:08for some fans in the Eagles marketing department. Uh, you know, we
- 20:12all have some nostalgia when it comes to his dad that there are some high
- 20:17ceiling prospects who were drafted to this Eagles team as well. But I'm wondering
- 20:22what are your overall thoughts on the Eagles draft classes? Were closing up our
- 20:26discussion here honestly, and I appreciate you inviting me on to talk about the
- 20:32draft. But my biggest, you know, annoyance with the Eagles right now
- 20:33is that they took care of the DeVonta Smith deal and the Aged Bron extension,
- 20:37and that they beat you know, all the other wide receivers across the
- 20:40league and their pending contract situations. And that's you know, I know that
- 20:44we're in this weird week where there's this high Roseman discourse where people are saying,
- 20:48you know, and I think I agree that he's over praised. He's
- 20:52just really aggressive, I think so tool to be honest with you there,
- 20:56I mean, like it's not like cutting dry black and white one way or
- 20:57the other. He is where he like. There are there are picks that
- 21:02hit, like Jordan Mylatta in the seventh round, and there are picks that
- 21:06absolutely stink. And go back a couple of years is talking to our friend
- 21:08OJ Spivey from the Philly Tribune about j Von Taylor, a third round pick.
- 21:12It was that that that that that project type of player didn't work out.
- 21:18There's a lot that didn't work out, and there are some that certainly
- 21:19did totally. And I think that if I respect anything about how he is,
- 21:26that he will he will just swing no matter what. And I would
- 21:30much rather live and die, you know that way, and just kind of
- 21:33accept the consequences then, you know, then just wait for fate to smile
- 21:37upon you. And so all the trades were really great and it does what
- 21:41I and maybe I think again as a result of his reputation, that maybe
- 21:44we give how he credit for things that aren't actually true. I don't know
- 21:48if the Eagles will be penalized obviously for the tampering situation. I hope that
- 21:52they are with all of my heart, but I don't know if there's loading
- 21:56up on draft capital and anticipation of that, right like, And I think
- 22:00I believe he thinks about those things, and I believe that he acts based
- 22:03on hypotheticals, and maybe he overthinks, and therefore, you know, takes
- 22:07Jalen Reger over Justin Jefferson, you know, and whatever. But again I
- 22:10would live and die by that all day long, as opposed to most other
- 22:14methodologies. And so yeah, he generally achieves tremendous value. And I think
- 22:18that, you know, it is funny that he didn't have to do anything
- 22:22and the quinion Mitchell fell all the way and some of again, some of
- 22:26it is he's just extraordinarily lucky, but a lot of teams are extraordinarily lucky.
- 22:29And the Cooper Degene Pick I love, you know, I love always
- 22:33being in a position where you're not afraid to move or jump or whatever the
- 22:34case may be. And so I'm not I'm not like fearful of anything the
- 22:40way I was, you know, I don't. I mean again, the
- 22:44way that the aj Brown extension bothers me. But this he keeps the floor
- 22:48high, and this was just another kind of you know, swift mode of
- 22:52action to keep the floor high, to keep the factory running, to keep
- 22:55you know, production coming out. And he's he's really, really really great
- 22:57at that. And that does bother me, and that does annoy an me
- 23:00great. Well again, folks, Rjohoa from Blogintheboys dot com And where can
- 23:06they find you over on YouTube? So yeah, if you just search blogging
