  and we're live Welcome to the all balls no filler podcast live
• 0:35
  Music from the cabin kitchen. I'm Zach, he's Brad.
• 0:41
  Hey guys, I'm behind the scenes. We don't have anybody today
• 0:46
  actually, because due to the recent controversy with Carl's
• 0:49
  conundrums, he's been loaned out to Tenerife for a few days.
• 0:52
  Carl's not here research Carl is sending it up somewhere in
• 0:57
  Tenerife. So it's just me and you today
• 0:59
  mate, I mean. It is, it is.
• 1:02
  I mean, rumour has it with the way that Cal's conundrums have
• 1:05
  gone is probably Niner Reef, you know, getting those fucking
• 1:08
  names wrong and stuff. But Jesus.
• 1:12
  Yeah, yeah, don't worry guys. We've had a word with him.
• 1:15
  He, he's, he's going to be researching researcher Carl's
• 1:20
  job title a little bit more I think going forward, Eh, but.
• 1:24
  If he's not, I think we might be.
• 1:26
  But you know. Yeah, exactly that.
• 1:29
  How you been mate? Anyway, you all right?
• 1:31
  Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm all right. I'm grand, but I know you're
• 1:36
  not. It's been a rough one for you.
• 1:38
  Yeah, I am. I am not in a not in a great
• 1:41
  place. So if I don't sound energies
• 1:43
  because normal guys have just not been very well, I'm not
• 1:46
  going to lie. I've lived under a rock for the
• 1:47
  past like four or five days, just been poorly.
• 1:51
  The whole house has got it. It's it's not been great.
• 1:54
  So I apologise if if today I'm just going to wing you.
• 1:58
  I'm not going to lie mate. I mean we're for those that sort
• 2:03
  of are religious with the day release and things.
• 2:05
  Obviously you'll know we're normally released on a
• 2:07
  Wednesday. We're actually recording and
• 2:10
  filming this on a Wednesday. We're a day behind because Zach
• 2:14
  Adiz knickers in A twist and was too poorly to record.
• 2:17
  So we we've delayed by 24 hours. But it's probably done as a
• 2:21
  favour really, hasn't it? Because actually, last 24 hours
• 2:24
  has been pretty interesting in the world of the NFL.
• 2:27
  Yeah, I did it on purpose, purely, purely did it on purpose
• 2:31
  because I knew that there was going to be more and more star
• 2:32
  lines coming out, not because I had the worst case of man flu
• 2:35
  known to man. But hey, look, you're going to
• 2:37
  feel sorry for me. I had man flu, right?
• 2:39
  But that being said, mate, absolutely.
• 2:43
  That being said mate, what we're going to start for today's
• 2:45
  episode. Yeah, so it's it's obviously
• 2:48
  been a busy old start to the week for trades and free agency.
• 2:52
  So we'll hit on the biggest stories of them all and we'll
• 2:55
  try and get you up to speed with what this means for the teams
• 2:58
  obviously around the league with the signings they're making or
• 3:00
  the players they're losing. We'll have our new weekly rugby
• 3:04
  league focus segment. I can't speak.
• 3:07
  And we will visit 11 Arif and all of the balls and of course
• 3:13
  check in on Cal's conundrum all the way from his jolly little
• 3:20
  holidays. And so hopefully he's got it
• 3:23
  right this week because you know, he's he's dropped the ball
• 3:26
  a couple of times. Just just a little bit, Yeah,
• 3:29
  just a little bit. He, you know, a lot of sees he's
• 3:33
  on. He's on a fine line for get his
• 3:35
  P-45 through the post. I think you know and must admit.
• 3:39
  I mean, we can see how today goes without him, can't we?
• 3:41
  We'll see it. We'll see how it goes without
• 3:43
  him and then just decide whether you know whether he's earning
• 3:46
  his keep or not. A little tester, a little
• 3:49
  tester, right? Let's get into some of the big
• 3:51
  news from this week, mate, because there's been quite a
• 3:54
  quite a fair bit of it as well, right?
• 3:56
  So we're talking trades, we're talking free agency and we're
• 3:58
  talking the cuts and signings around the league.
• 4:01
  Now there's a little small player called a Mr Max Crosby.
• 4:07
  You might have heard of him. He's a defensive end who plays
• 4:10
  for the Las Vegas Raiders. He's been in the news a little
• 4:13
  bit for just being an absolute beast.
• 4:16
  Well, he actually signed. Oh well, what we thought it's
• 4:20
  signed and got traded to the Ravens for like 2 first round
• 4:24
  picks. You know, big blockbuster deal,
• 4:27
  but then big rewind U-turn on that on that trade never went
• 4:33
  through. Now I want to touch up on this a
• 4:35
  little bit because I think there's some funky business
• 4:39
  going on in the background. It's a weird 1, isn't it?
• 4:42
  Like, I mean, excuse me, I mean, let's just think about
• 4:48
  yesterday. So no, not not yesterday.
• 4:50
  Was it yesterday, Monday, Tuesday, whenever Thursday was
• 4:54
  I've lost my bearings myself. I'm not even I'll.
• 4:56
  And you know, the announcement came doing it that Crosby had
• 4:59
  signed with the Ravens and it was for two first rounders.
• 5:03
  So like, not only is that a humongous, humongous trade, it's
• 5:10
  actually what what's really interesting is, I mean, how long
• 5:14
  the Ravens been around now is like 30 something years, isn't
• 5:18
  it? So by all accounts, this is the
• 5:22
  first time, and this is just what I've heard.
• 5:24
  I'll be honest, I haven't done more research, research Carl's
• 5:28
  not here. But by all accounts, it's the
• 5:30
  first time that the Ravens have traded away their first round
• 5:34
  pick or a player. So not only that, but they've
• 5:39
  traded 2. So you got the Ravens who
• 5:44
  essentially need to resign Lamar, which seems bizarre
• 5:48
  because I'm sure it was only a couple of years ago that was all
• 5:50
  that drama. But they've got Lamar to lock
• 5:56
  up. They've got probably a couple of
• 5:58
  holes. You know, we'll get to other
• 6:00
  positions from their roster that have moved on a little bit
• 6:04
  later. But they've then given up this
• 6:07
  year's first and next year's first, where actually Ravens
• 6:10
  typically respect drafting really well.
• 6:13
  So they've given up potentially two players who could be really,
• 6:16
  really good. Crosby.
• 6:19
  But then they haven't. Yeah, it's, yeah, it's bombing.
• 6:23
  Yeah, he's one of them. And when he first, when he first
• 6:26
  kind of came out, like it was in the news of how big the trade
• 6:30
  was. And like you say, the the the
• 6:33
  magnitude of it kind of set waves.
• 6:35
  The Ravens mean business. They're signing that the they're
• 6:38
  the big defensive players. They're going to be the star
• 6:40
  maker of that defence and will you say like the Miles
• 6:43
  contractor rumours that you're going to re reconstruct his
• 6:46
  contract to make it a bit easier for him to sign up the players
• 6:48
  as such, which a lot of QBs do? I think a few QBs this year have
• 6:52
  done it as well. But then another defensive
• 6:56
  player comes in and throws a bit of a spanner into the works here
• 7:00
  and have the Ravens not a bit off more looking true, But did
• 7:04
  they see like, you know, you see the pot at the end, like you see
• 7:08
  the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow type thing?
• 7:09
  Went straight for it and didn't look around.
• 7:11
  And all of a sudden you've got Hendrickson who doesn't re sign
• 7:17
  for the Bengals and becomes a free agent and now as an
• 7:20
  organisation who then openly as well to his agent, said won't
• 7:23
  mind going into Ravens and then the Ravens here.
• 7:26
  Now I start thinking, well, shit, I've just I've just spent
• 7:29
  two first round picks and a guy, but I can get a guy here for a
• 7:34
  contract, just a contract. Now.
• 7:39
  I don't see how Max Crosby can fail.
• 7:41
  I mean, obviously I know he's he's he's still totally injured,
• 7:43
  but like I don't see how this guy is failing his physical like
• 7:52
  workout prior and not getting his contract through.
• 7:55
  Do you know what I mean? I just something a bit bit fishy
• 7:59
  for me there. Yeah, I mean, like if he's, if
• 8:02
  he's still injured and he's still got that, that niggle
• 8:06
  there, I think ultimately could fail them.
• 8:08
  But what's probably what probably happens day-to-day is
• 8:11
  actually they'll assess where he is at the minute and they'll
• 8:14
  assess where he could be. And it just won't, they won't
• 8:20
  really consider it. And they'll be like, yeah, yeah,
• 8:21
  we'll, we'll look after Emil, heal.
• 8:23
  It's fine. And then Hendrickson's in the
• 8:25
  mix. It's like, hang on, hang on.
• 8:28
  We could have got this guy who's not Max Crosby.
• 8:32
  Let's be real. I don't think I think I think
• 8:36
  he's a very, very good player, but I don't think he's Crosby
• 8:41
  who or Crosby when he's playing at his peak.
• 8:43
  I don't I don't think he's quite there.
• 8:46
  But you can get him and then retain your two first round
• 8:49
  picks. And as I've just mentioned, the
• 8:51
  Ravens typically draft well. Their usual process is best
• 8:56
  player available that you know, they don't normally draft or
• 9:00
  need, which I think is quite, quite sensible because you're
• 9:04
  then avoiding the whole reaching for somebody that you know, you
• 9:08
  probably don't actually want to draft where you're drafting.
• 9:10
  And for a team like Ravens that's always in the mix of
• 9:13
  playoffs, that makes sense. That makes sense.
• 9:15
  You don't want to draft a second round player with your first
• 9:18
  round, 20th early 20th pick, you know, so it's it's a bit
• 9:25
  suspicious, isn't it? It's a bit weird, but there's so
• 9:29
  many implications with it. There's so many like things that
• 9:33
  come back from it, like who the raid, the Raiders have actually
• 9:38
  today. I think if I'm right, I think
• 9:42
  just outside of the Titans, I think the Titans had the biggest
• 9:47
  cap space in the NFL. Forgive me if I'm getting this
• 9:50
  wrong and it's just from recollections, no notes on this.
• 9:54
  I'm sure the Titans had the biggest amount of cap space or
• 9:58
  cap spend available to them. What however you want to phrase
• 10:01
  that? And I think the Ravens have been
• 10:03
  the number one in terms of total contracts offered.
• 10:08
  So we're not talking about cap for this year, talking about
• 10:10
  like general overall contracts offered out.
• 10:16
  And then the Titans have been second.
• 10:18
  So the Raiders have been obviously signing people on the
• 10:21
  right. We've just got rid of this
• 10:23
  thirty, $40 million that we had and oh wait, no, we haven't.
• 10:29
  It's come back. Yeah, it's it's it's one of them
• 10:36
  Like, so it puts Raiders in a really sticky situation as to
• 10:40
  what they're going to do in terms of the Crosby situation or
• 10:42
  they're going to try and reconstruct some of the
• 10:44
  contracts to free some more money up because he's, you know,
• 10:46
  he's going to be there. If not or have has Crosby pulled
• 10:51
  an absolute blinder here and he becomes a free agent, which I
• 10:54
  don't see that happening in any way shape our thoughts about how
• 10:57
  much he's worth. Now, I agree with you that I
• 10:59
  think Crosby's the better player out of the two, but I don't
• 11:02
  think he's two first rounds better than Hendrickson.
• 11:07
  I believe that what the Ravens have done there is probably the
• 11:11
  deal of the century. I think it's an absolute
• 11:13
  blinder. There's not many, not many teams
• 11:16
  that get given two of the top three top five defensive ends in
• 11:26
  the in the NFL. And like, you can have either or
• 11:30
  take your pick, but you can have one for a free agency, not a
• 11:34
  free agency, just paying him with paying him a chunk, which
• 11:37
  yes, he's a bit more injury pro and I will, I will admit that.
• 11:39
  Or you can give us two first round pick for Crosby here.
• 11:44
  And, and I mean, I bet Crosby's a bit fuming because he they've
• 11:47
  probably seen potential Super Bowl with the Ravens and and the
• 11:52
  Mar Jackson everything. And I understand that the
• 11:55
  Raiders are, you know, signing well and and got the first round
• 11:59
  pick and everything, But still, for me, it's just a bit, it's
• 12:01
  just one of them. I think the Ravens have pulled
• 12:03
  the deal of the century off, though.
• 12:04
  I think credit where credit's due is absolute business is
• 12:08
  this. And they're keeping their first,
• 12:10
  they're getting they're getting their man or their second choice
• 12:14
  man and keeping their first round picks, but not losing too
• 12:17
  much talent. I think it's, I think it's an
• 12:19
  absolute steal is what lies. Yeah, I mean, what's what's
• 12:25
  interesting to me are the thing that like, I wonder is obviously
• 12:32
  Tyler Linderbaum, probably one of the better centres in the
• 12:38
  NFL, obviously of Ravens, he became a free agent.
• 12:44
  And, and basically the reason he became a free agent is because
• 12:51
  to to, to franchise tag Linda Baum would have meant that
• 12:57
  you're paying the average salary of the whole offensive line, not
• 13:02
  just centres. So that would have put him up
• 13:05
  there. And I don't have the exact
• 13:08
  figures in front of it, but it would have put him up there with
• 13:10
  the top paid lineman in the league.
• 13:14
  And we spoke about it in previous episodes.
• 13:15
  I think in previous pods where it's your left tackles, your
• 13:19
  left tackles are the ones that are paid astronomically because
• 13:22
  they guard that blind side of the quarterback.
• 13:25
  So you centres, although they're paid well, they don't get near
• 13:28
  that sort of money. So to tag Linda Baum, he's got
• 13:33
  he you'd be paying him sort of left tackle money basically, is
• 13:37
  what we're saying. But The thing is, is they didn't
• 13:41
  tag him. So where does this put now the
• 13:44
  Ravens with losing their starting centre who they could
• 13:48
  have tagged and got, you know, given starting lineman money,
• 13:52
  but then gaining one of the best defensive players, defensive
• 13:55
  lineman. I think it's a win win me for
• 13:58
  the Ravens in general. I think that what they've done
• 14:00
  is just just smart business, as I said before, just smart
• 14:03
  business for me. But.
• 14:07
  Yeah, I mean, it is, but it's it, you know, it, it makes sense
• 14:11
  for the Ravens and and they'll play the system how they want to
• 14:13
  play it. They're they're a good outfit
• 14:17
  and and EDC knows what he's doing, doesn't it?
• 14:20
  So it'll be an interesting to see how it pans out.
• 14:23
  That's it, That's it. Anyway, let's move on to other
• 14:26
  news and the trades that's happened around the NFLA big
• 14:29
  one, I said a big one. Gino's back home, the team that
• 14:33
  drafted him back in 20, 13 I want to say and my notes I don't
• 14:39
  have them down either way. Gino was drafted by The Jets.
• 14:42
  He's gone to various places after this.
• 14:44
  He's now gone back to The Jets for a a QB and a seventh round
• 14:50
  pick for their 6th. Is that correct?
• 14:51
  Is that how it works? They've they've traded.
• 14:54
  I never understand this properly.
• 14:55
  Why you trade them the round picks and then a player like I
• 14:59
  just baffles me at times. I almost feel like it's an ego
• 15:03
  thing just to say like, Oh yeah, we got the better pick out of
• 15:06
  you. But yeah, it's a late, it's a
• 15:09
  late round swap, isn't it? And you get Gino Baku, He's had
• 15:13
  a, he had a rubbish year and or a rubbish couple of years.
• 15:19
  But before that I had the stormer of a couple like a few
• 15:22
  years at the Seahawks, didn't he?
• 15:25
  And he's, he's the, I say the ultimate journey man.
• 15:29
  I think that's kind of reserved for like Ryan Fitzpatrick or
• 15:32
  maybe Kirk Cousins at this rate. But like he's obviously started
• 15:37
  his career at Jets and he's he's back there.
• 15:40
  And I think, you know what, I think it's a smart move.
• 15:43
  And they don't often happen at The Jets.
• 15:45
  I think they've got him for next to nothing.
• 15:48
  I think the, I think most of the contract he's been upheld, so
• 15:54
  Jets are going to have very little to pay for Gino as far as
• 15:58
  I've read, basically like a vet minimum deal if you like and a
• 16:04
  late round pick swap. So it's cost him next to nothing
• 16:06
  to get someone in who can hold the four.
• 16:09
  It can play the sport and he knows what he's doing and he's
• 16:12
  experienced a number of different defences and offences.
• 16:16
  I think it's just a smart move really.
• 16:17
  And Aaron Glenn's probably looking for someone who can
• 16:21
  potentially help not getting fired after year 2.
• 16:24
  So that was a bit touch and go after year 1, wasn't it?
• 16:27
  But. Yeah, it's a big one for him.
• 16:29
  It's a sensible move. It's it's a big one for him.
• 16:33
  Also, DJ Moore. Sorry, go on.
• 16:35
  No. No, no, go on.
• 16:39
  That was a latency thing. DJ Moore is going to the Bills.
• 16:42
  The second round in exchange there for DJ Moore.
• 16:46
  I think it's a good suit. I think it gives it gives Alan
• 16:50
  more weapons around him. I think it's I think he's I
• 16:54
  think it's a nice it's a nice addition there to the bills.
• 16:57
  Nothing more really from my side things to say over there.
• 16:59
  I just think it's a nice fit really and hopefully I'd say
• 17:02
  hopefully, I don't hope at all because he's a divisional rival.
• 17:04
  I hope he does really bad but it could be the the that little key
• 17:08
  piece of weapon that they need as such.
• 17:12
  I think DJ has always had that potential there and he's he's
• 17:16
  always looked like a quality player.
• 17:18
  He's just never really lit it up as he's never really been in the
• 17:23
  right system or the right place at the right time.
• 17:26
  And when he came out of college, he had a lot of positivity
• 17:29
  around him. And I don't know, I just the
• 17:32
  worry for me is like the Bills, they've had a good few big
• 17:37
  names, plain receiver for them, but there's none that have
• 17:39
  really like lit the house on fire as such.
• 17:43
  Probably biggest name was Diggs, but even he compared to his
• 17:47
  years at the Vikings, didn't quite live up to the
• 17:49
  expectations that that he had there.
• 17:52
  So it'll be an interesting 1. And I think it's probably, it's
• 17:56
  a great signing for the Bills, I think, but it'll be interesting
• 17:58
  to see how it pans out, really. Yeah, for DJ.
• 18:04
  That's it and there's a few more trades that happened around the
• 18:07
  NFL over the week and we're not going to touch anymore because
• 18:10
  we don't have the time to. But what we do have is we have a
• 18:12

  go head over there, hit as follow like and all that jazz
• 18:40
  and just get involved with some of the stuff that we're we're
• 18:42
  looking at doing now, Brad, we've talked a bit about the
• 18:46
  trades. We're going to talk about free
• 18:47
  agency now because free agency has I think taken storm this
• 18:54
  year. There's a lot of, I know there's
• 18:55
  obviously a lot of players that could get moved around every
• 18:57
  year. But this year I just felt for
• 18:58
  me, there is a lot of big names moving around, a lot of people
• 19:03
  that we thought would have probably ended their careers at
• 19:06
  certain clubs moving around. I'm sure throw a few names out
• 19:09
  there. We'll then go into get to chat
• 19:11
  about them in particular. But we've spoke about the Ravens
• 19:14
  signing, Trey Hendrickson, great signing there, but new homes for
• 19:19
  the likes of tour, Mike Sevens, Malik Willis, Travis Etienne,
• 19:23
  we've got Alec Pierce, we've got Bradley Chubb, all got new
• 19:27
  homes. As it stands to you mate, who
• 19:30
  stands out here within free agency to nice fit their new
• 19:35
  home and who stands out as a bit of a strange fit to a new home
• 19:39
  for you. I think the two that are really
• 19:44
  good signings and they're up there with the top of our list.
• 19:47
  I think obviously we spoke quite a bit about him last week and
• 19:50
  the week before. Obviously he was the Super Bowl
• 19:52
  MVPI. Think Kenneth Walker to the
• 19:54
  Chiefs is a really, really good signing for both.
• 20:00
  You know, they had a stinker of a year last year, but the Chiefs
• 20:03
  and you might put some of that down to the injury of.
• 20:08
  For Homes, but actually they weren't having that the great
• 20:11
  year that you'd expect anyway before that.
• 20:13
  But I think that's a really strong signing for them.
• 20:18
  You know, coming off of that injury and having a backfield
• 20:21
  there that can support the homes to not necessarily have to feel
• 20:26
  like he has to be Superman every play, which puts him in that
• 20:29
  line of fire, doesn't it? And I think it's a really,
• 20:31
  really strong signing. I think one of the big ones that
• 20:35
  took me by surprise was the Mike Evans signing.
• 20:38
  Yeah, you know, last year was the first year that he'd not had
• 20:42
  1000 yard season. And I think he's still got it.
• 20:46
  Like, you know, he's not a young pup anymore.
• 20:48
  I mean, he's younger than me, but he's he's not a young pup
• 20:51
  anymore from the NFL terms of things and and the wide receiver
• 20:55
  terms. But he is still got it and he
• 20:59
  can still get there. He's a big body and you can put
• 21:01
  him up there, but I actually think it's a really, really good
• 21:06
  sign for Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanahan, sorry, offence.
• 21:11
  I think the 49ers have got all the potential in the world to
• 21:15
  use that big body receiver. It's kind of like that Julio
• 21:18
  Jones sort of position and get him, get him down field, put him
• 21:25
  one-on-one and you'd trust him to come down with it.
• 21:29
  And they've not really had that that last this last year or two.
• 21:32
  Obviously Debo was kind of that weird hybrid sort of player that
• 21:39
  had those opportunities. And I think it's a really good
• 21:42
  signing for the 49ers and I think it's a nice fresh start
• 21:45
  for Evans, who who could have a really good season there, to be
• 21:48
  fair. You got to think though as well,
• 21:50
  like he didn't get his 1000 yard season last year because he was
• 21:54
  injured a lot of this a lot of the year was in and out of
• 21:56
  injury a lot of the year along with a lot of other players from
• 21:59
  the NFL and he got said like it was one of the big reasons for
• 22:02
  it. I personally think that this is
• 22:05
  probably one of the the free agency signings that will
• 22:09
  happen, like the one of the best free agency signs that will
• 22:11
  happen across. I think it's the perfect match
• 22:14
  for him. As you say, that Kyle Shanahan
• 22:16
  offence and having someone of the the stature and the size of
• 22:19
  Mike Evans. I think Mike Evans is a quality
• 22:22
  receiver and it brings in that experience in there to to coach
• 22:26
  some younger lads coming through, but at the same time be
• 22:29
  that safety net of, you know, he's a tall guy.
• 22:32
  Yeah, I can just talk about anywhere in his area and he's
• 22:34
  bringing that ball down, you know, and he's going to bring
• 22:36
  that kind of that veteran and would receive.
• 22:41
  Watch me come in here and still ball.
• 22:43
  I'm not coming in here was like, yeah, I'm just going to like
• 22:45
  like AD Hopkins gun going to the Ravens who went in as a bit of a
• 22:49
  veteran who played a key part of the offence but more of a key
• 22:54
  part off the field, if that makes sense.
• 22:56
  In the locker room and a train and stuff.
• 22:57
  Still playing a part on on the field, but wasn't as impactful
• 23:00
  as from a fancy point of view, let's just say as what he was
• 23:03
  elsewhere. But then I think Mike Evans go
• 23:08
  walks into this 49ers team and I think he's the same player.
• 23:12
  I don't, I don't see his receptions dropping.
• 23:15
  I don't see his his touchdowns dropping.
• 23:18
  I, I really don't, I think he's going to walk into his offence
• 23:21
  and just go, I am Mike Evans. I am, we are wide receiver 1 and
• 23:25
  I'm going to show you why I'm your wide receiver one.
• 23:27
  But I, I just think, you know, I think he's, he's time to win two
• 23:30
  bowls now. Yeah, and I fully agree.
• 23:34
  I fully agree. I mean, the last couple of years
• 23:36
  really have been Hanford by injuries, aren't they?
• 23:38
  Like this year was a bad one for him, which I probably agree.
• 23:41
  It's probably why he didn't get that thousand years yards.
• 23:44
  Sorry, not years. Jesus, 1000 yards.
• 23:46
  The season before, though, he had the same thing.
• 23:49
  He was injured for a while and was only just there.
• 23:51
  And if you remember, I think they had to force the books, had
• 23:54
  to force a play to get him it on like the last game of the
• 23:58
  season, maybe one of the last few plays of the season to
• 24:01
  actually get him over that 1000 yard line.
• 24:04
  And that's, you know, you've got to respect that.
• 24:06
  But this year is just what close was in.
• 24:08
  And then they can't put him in that position and it's probably
• 24:11
  time for a fresh start. And but he was he was one of
• 24:14
  those players where I thought he'd he'd retire a book.
• 24:20
  But it's business isn't the NFL. And we see it more and more.
• 24:23
  There's there's very few players who start and finish with the
• 24:27
  same team. Very, very few players these
• 24:30
  days and he's just the next one in the in the the line that that
• 24:36
  doesn't. And he's he's got all the
• 24:38
  quality in the world still. I think he's still got the
• 24:41
  opportunity to get another thousand year season out of the
• 24:43
  49ers, but I think it'll probably depend on more than
• 24:48
  just him. I think I always feel like it's
• 24:51
  question marks in the 49ers. I don't I don't believe in Brock
• 24:54
  Purdy. I think he's a a product of
• 24:58
  system. I think you could put a lot of
• 25:00
  other players in that position. I don't credit where credit's
• 25:03
  due. Is Mr Irrelevant or was Mr
• 25:06
  Irrelevant and he's had some great success, but I don't think
• 25:10
  he's that great of a quarterback.
• 25:11
  I'd say is is bottom half of starting quarterbacks in the
• 25:15
  league, but I think he's a product of the system.
• 25:19
  Now, I aren't comparing the two players in terms because there's
• 25:22
  a massive gap of generally of talent between these.
• 25:25
  But you could have said the same thing at Brady at the Patriots
• 25:27
  to begin with. He didn't come out as an All
• 25:29
  Star QB. He came out and he became the
• 25:31
  product of the Patriot system. And I, you know, put put Brady
• 25:35
  in any other system within the NFL what he had done as well
• 25:38
  rather than being within that system.
• 25:39
  And look, I are Brock Purdy's biggest fan.
• 25:42
  I think he's a good QB and I think he's a very underrated QB
• 25:45
  at times. He started getting a bit cocky
• 25:47
  recently, which I just don't see him living up to.
• 25:49
  But at the same time, I see if you are the product of the
• 25:54
  system and that system's working well, why change it and why, you
• 25:56
  know, we don't need to move anything around it.
• 25:58
  And I see this Mike Evans going to the Niners a bit like
• 26:02
  Gronkowski, when him and Brady moved on and they started their
• 26:09
  new life and they started their new and back end of their
• 26:12
  careers. And and like Gronkowski in
• 26:14
  particular, who still went over and was still playing that
• 26:17
  number one tight end role, but just having fun because he knew,
• 26:20
  he knew he could have retired. He knew he can retire now if you
• 26:22
  want to. He's just playing ball for
• 26:24
  playing ball sake, having a bit of a laugh and a joke about it.
• 26:26
  And he's still made a massive impact on that field.
• 26:28
  And I just see Mike Evans doing that.
• 26:29
  Really, I think he's I think he's just going to come out and
• 26:32
  absolutely storm it, to be quite honest with you.
• 26:34
  But moving on from Mike Evans, there's two quarterback names on
• 26:38
  this list that are striking out to me and one of them in
• 26:41
  particular. In fact, they're both have
• 26:43
  something to do with your beloved Dolphins. 1's your ex QB
• 26:47
  and one's your new QB. 2 are going to the Falcons and Malik
• 26:50
  Willis coming to the Dolphins. What's your thoughts on this?
• 26:56
  I think the writing was on the wall like from day one, like all
• 27:00
  the strong rumours were that Willis was coming to the
• 27:04
  Dolphins. And I've you know what, I've got
• 27:07
  really mixed feelings. I don't I don't have strong
• 27:09
  feelings. I'll be honest.
• 27:10
  I just have mixed feelings. You know, like, well, basically
• 27:17
  the Green Bay golfing at the minute.
• 27:19
  You've got the GM or not the GM, sorry, our new GM obviously like
• 27:25
  former basically assistant GM if you like, forget all the titles,
• 27:29
  assistant GM at the Packers and our new head coach was DC at the
• 27:33
  Packers. And now basically, well, what is
• 27:37
  our new starting quarterback was the backup quarterback at the
• 27:41
  Packers. And I, I don't think it's about
• 27:46
  signing. I don't like I'm, I'm fine with
• 27:48
  it. I'm not against it.
• 27:50
  I'm I'm totally OK with it. My, I guess pros for it are that
• 27:57
  you've got two guys who have been around Willis for a couple
• 28:04
  of years or so, kind of seen him training day in, day out.
• 28:09
  They've seen the way he's in the club in, in the facility.
• 28:12
  They've seen that. And then obviously they've seen
• 28:16
  him on the field. Now the big, I guess the big
• 28:19
  question mark that everyone's had over him is, well, his snaps
• 28:23
  have been limited. I think, you know, I, I think
• 28:27
  again, I'm just going from memory, I'm sure it's like 60
• 28:29
  something snaps or, or whatever it is, probably more than that.
• 28:37
  I could be getting that completely wrong.
• 28:38
  But a very limited number of snaps starting in the NFL.
• 28:44
  But they were really good snaps. So like we've, we've got a few
• 28:49
  Green Bay Packers fans and who are friends of ours and they
• 28:53
  speak really highly of Willis. And, and I agree, like from what
• 28:57
  he's done and what he actually shown in the NFL, he's a really
• 29:00
  good QB. He's solid.
• 29:01
  He's he's got the arm strength, he can run.
• 29:04
  Basically the two things that the big criticisms of Tua, like
• 29:08
  no one's ever criticised the timing of Tua, the accuracy of
• 29:11
  Tua because they were almost second to none.
• 29:16
  But The thing is with those things is if you can knock
• 29:19
  someone like to offer those time in rhythm plays, He didn't, he
• 29:24
  definitely wasn't best at making something happen out of nothing.
• 29:29
  So that's where you finally take the sacks or he'd throw forced
• 29:33
  balls, which would be picks and things like that.
• 29:36
  Whereas with Willis, what you've got is the arm strength to fire
• 29:39
  the ball. And we're not talking about deep
• 29:41
  shots. And I think that's what the
• 29:42
  thing that people used to get confused with two, when people
• 29:46
  are talking about arm strength, two could sling it deep.
• 29:50
  He could, he could absolutely sling it deep.
• 29:51
  Like some of his biggest plays were to two are on the deep run,
• 29:55
  not to two. Sorry, it's Tyreke on the deep,
• 29:57
  deep shots, but it was those quick out routes or the quick
• 30:04
  crossing routes where you needed to absolutely fire that ball in
• 30:08
  and not float the ball in. And that's where arm strength
• 30:12
  really comes into it. I think any NFL starting
• 30:14
  quarterback can throw it deep. It's just how they throw it deep
• 30:19
  and it or on those quick out routes, like can you fire that
• 30:23
  ball in low and fast? And that's where he maybe lacked
• 30:27
  a little bit, but I think, I think Tua can, sorry, not 2.
• 30:35
  I think Malik can buy the ball in.
• 30:39
  He can get those quick passes, those those quick sort of sharp
• 30:44
  passes off. He can hit the deep ball.
• 30:46
  We've seen that. But he can run as well and he
• 30:48
  can make something happen. Do I think he's a quarterback of
• 30:53
  the future? I don't know.
• 30:56
  I'm not saying yes or no. Like he could be, he couldn't
• 30:59
  be. There's a very, very limited,
• 31:04
  there's very limited tape. There's very limited knowledge
• 31:07
  on that. The contract, it's three years,
• 31:09
  it's 60, basically 68 mil. I think about 2/3 of that is
• 31:14
  guaranteed. So it's basically a two year
• 31:16
  contract. So I'm going to say I've got I
• 31:19
  don't see him. I don't see him there in after
• 31:21
  two years. I think he's, I think he's, I
• 31:24
  think he's a stopgap for a good draft, a good pool of QBs in a
• 31:29
  draft, rather than just having one or two QBs in a draft.
• 31:33
  I think he's a stopgap personally.
• 31:35
  Yeah, I think he's a potential high ceiling stopgap.
• 31:38
  That's the thing. I think, you know, take away the
• 31:42
  odd player, take away Kyla, take away Aaron Rodgers.
• 31:50
  If that's no keep Aaron Rodgers in there.
• 31:52
  Malik Willis, wherever he went was probably going to get the
• 31:57
  the highest contract of any free agent quarterback on the market.
• 32:02
  He was probably right there. He was.
• 32:05
  He was seen as that guy, wasn't he?
• 32:07
  That's not necessarily tied to another team.
• 32:11
  So actually I think the bit of business with the Dolphins and
• 32:15
  Malik there is actually good business to get the 2 of
• 32:18
  contracts, to get the cap, all that sort of stuff.
• 32:20
  Malik Willis, three years, 68 mil, basically a two year
• 32:24
  contract, guaranteed 45 mil. I think that's a really good
• 32:30
  contract. That's a low end starter,
• 32:33
  really, really high end backup quarterback contract.
• 32:37
  Whereas actually you're getting a starter quarterback this year
• 32:40
  and then you've got next year the choice to make.
• 32:43
  You might draft someone, you might sit them for a while or
• 32:45
  you might start them, but you've still got Malik there was solid.
• 32:48
  And then year three you've got options.
• 32:51
  Malik Willis might have an absolute rack in two years and
• 32:54
  actually you've got a really good quarterback there.
• 32:57
  You've been able to give a couple of years on a good
• 33:00
  contract while you're shedding off 2 his contract.
• 33:03
  Or actually you've got a decent contract for a high end backup
• 33:09
  or a low end starter if that's the way it goes.
• 33:12
  And you've got the time to shake off 2 his contract again and
• 33:16
  potentially sign a quarterback next year where the draft looks
• 33:19
  potentially a little bit stronger in that area than this
• 33:22
  year. So do I hate the signing of
• 33:25
  Malik Willis? No, actually, I think it's a
• 33:27
  really good, clever signing. Do I hate it along with the fact
• 33:31
  that we've just dropped 90 odd million on tour over 2 years?
• 33:38
  Yes and no. I, I don't dislike to, or I've
• 33:42
  shared that a million times over.
• 33:45
  Do I think it's as bad as it's currently been made out?
• 33:47
  No, I think he's had a really terrible season.
• 33:50
  I think he's had terrible moments, but he's also showed
• 33:54
  moments have been outstanding in the right system.
• 33:57
  Do I think he's gone to the right place at the Falcons?
• 33:59
  No, not at all. Stefanski's maybe got the
• 34:02
  potential to do it like him and Stefanski could do something
• 34:07
  that I think a place like the Vikings or even the 49ers is the
• 34:11
  backup on the league minimum. Like anything like that I think
• 34:14
  gives to her a better chance to reignite his career.
• 34:17
  I don't think Falcons is a place to reignite his career.
• 34:21
  I don't know. I think going going as a backup
• 34:22
  somewhere he's he's not going to.
• 34:24
  I think you've got more chance of starting that starting the
• 34:26
  games at the Falcons. And you got to think of it this
• 34:29
  way for him. He's getting paid regardless
• 34:31
  because he can go on that rookie contract wherever he went and
• 34:33
  not a lot of teams are not a lot of fits might have been going
• 34:36
  around. Obviously Stefanski going to the
• 34:38
  Falcons and stuff. And I think he's a decent fit.
• 34:42
  I'm not going to lie. You've got you've got them,
• 34:47
  you've got the players, the Falcons now the younger players
• 34:49
  coming through that are progressing themselves now.
• 34:52
  I think it's a make or break season for him.
• 34:55
  And either way he's getting paid.
• 34:56
  So it makes no difference to him.
• 34:57
  And he could he just sees the season out and they could go as
• 34:59
  a league back up to somewhere else afterwards and just float
• 35:02
  around and be, you know, look like they'd be the likes of just
• 35:08
  a vector in QB that's just sitting there.
• 35:10
  It's too good to sit to not be a backup QB somewhere.
• 35:13
  So it's one of them for me. I think it's a decent I heard
• 35:16
  that. I think it's a decent fear.
• 35:18
  I'm not going to lie, I don't think it's the worst teams out
• 35:21
  there he could have gone to. Look, we are, you know, if you
• 35:26
  asked us this time last year, is Daniel Jones the right QB for
• 35:29
  the Indianapolis Colts would have all been like, Nah, this
• 35:33
  guy is just going there as a bit of a backup waiver.
• 35:35
  Richardson's kind of get get, get himself fit and go and we're
• 35:38
  all right. But now look at where he's
• 35:39
  getting. Obviously, we're going to touch
• 35:41
  on Daniel Jones in just a second, but it's kind of worked
• 35:45
  out for him even though he's injured.
• 35:47
  But moving off now for the QBs, right?
• 35:49
  Quickly, just before we move on throughout the pod, couple of
• 35:52
  names that I want to talk to talk about.
• 35:55
  You've got brother Chubb to the Bills for three years, which I
• 35:57
  think is a great signing for the Bills and just strengthening the
• 35:59
  right areas. I think brother Chubb is a
• 36:00
  quality player. We also have Romeo Dubs going to
• 36:04
  the Patriots now. The Patriots dropped digs now me
• 36:09
  and you texted each other about this in in our all bars no
• 36:12
  philtre discard about this and you said you could kind of see
• 36:16
  this coming. But we just didn't mention on
• 36:18
  the pod you kind of saw yeah, I had like an England it were
• 36:20
  going to come. I I'm a Patriots fan.
• 36:23
  I didn't see this coming. I thought we've had the
• 36:25
  leadership of how digs has been on that sideline in the locker
• 36:28
  room and I know the media gives a lot of stuff out there, but
• 36:32
  he's been the far front of that kind of car and just showing his
• 36:36
  how mature he is. I know he's got a lot of legal
• 36:38
  stuff going on the background at moment, but you know, tell me.
• 36:40
  And I felt like that hasn't, but like he's that maturity there.
• 36:45
  I thought he were going to be quite a core player and yes, he
• 36:47
  weren't the wide receiver one that we kind of brought him in
• 36:49
  as is Romeo Dubs, No, Does Romeo Dubs signing him?
• 36:55
  Like does this count out any any form of an A.J.
• 36:58
  Brown push, which we will kind of favourite again?
• 37:01
  Yes, I just don't see I, I see it as a bit of a backwards we're
• 37:07
  getting rid of a wide receiver 1 1/2 because I don't see him as a
• 37:10
  wide receiver 2. Stefan Diggs and he's not, but
• 37:12
  he's not a wide receiver one. And getting rid of a 1 1/2 for
• 37:15
  the out and out wide receiver 2. The pages had never really had
• 37:19
  out and out wide receiver ones on their team that have big
• 37:23
  names, yet we're still not signing these big names.
• 37:27
  And it's just as a Patriots fan, it's a little bit frustrating
• 37:29
  for me. I just don't see it.
• 37:32
  I just think the thing with Steph, I think you can almost
• 37:34
  separate the digs and the dupes thing sort of to be honest,
• 37:37
  because I think, you know, you heard the whole things years
• 37:41
  ago, didn't you, about I think it was when he was at the was he
• 37:45
  the Bills or the Vikings? I can't remember.
• 37:47
  And it was like, which player would you least like to date
• 37:51
  your sister? And literally every single
• 37:54
  player was like, digs, no chance, no chance, no way, no
• 37:58
  way, not digs. And digs was like, oh, I'm a
• 38:01
  nice guy and like trying to convince him.
• 38:04
  And it's like, for me, that just says a lot, doesn't it?
• 38:06
  Like, if you don't want the guy anywhere near your sister, like,
• 38:10
  what sort of teammate is he? And I think that from the stuff
• 38:15
  that we see in the media about him and the stuff we see about
• 38:19
  the issues he has outside the NFL, whether it's relationships,
• 38:22
  whether it's the law or anything, like they're not the
• 38:26
  players you want in your organisation.
• 38:29
  Which is why I feel like he's just a, he's a stop gap.
• 38:33
  Whereas Doobs is like a, he's a solid player, like a really
• 38:41
  solid player. And he can he can do what Diggs
• 38:48
  has done this year for the Patriots.
• 38:51
  I don't think Diggs has been like a standout player, but he's
• 38:58
  just. Nor do I but he but as he got
• 39:00
  that mature, he's got that experience and that mature.
• 39:02
  Like I don't know, I don't know. I just don't.
• 39:04
  I don't want to. I don't want to run on about how
• 39:08
  how it is because I just I don't know.
• 39:10
  I just don't see it being it makes no sense for me in this in
• 39:16
  the business. I think we could have traded for
• 39:19
  players and there's players that I've openly kind of said they
• 39:22
  want to come to us. And obviously I understand that
• 39:25
  the A.J. Brown trade is probably way out
• 39:27
  of way because it's going to be so expensive.
• 39:29
  But that could have been the business that put back that
• 39:32
  makes Brabel. Brabel's had a year one coaching
• 39:35
  cycle now with with the Patriots.
• 39:37
  He's no longer the new guy. That could have been the bit of
• 39:39
  a buff season business that were like, but I meant to make
• 39:41
  fucking I made I made for business.
• 39:43
  Now I'm here to do this. Now I'm here to put something on
• 39:47
  this. We can get a good trader game
• 39:48
  for a few years. He wants to comfort to us.
• 39:51
  He wants to come here and do this like and yeah, I know.
• 40:01
  I just think it could have been that bit of business that what
• 40:03
  it were. But I hope to go in 12 months
• 40:06
  time. I'm eating my words and doobs at
• 40:08
  an absolute flyer of a season. But hey, home, right?
• 40:13
  Touching on a couple of big name signings, mate that have
• 40:16
  happened over the past. Couple of days.
• 40:19
  Daniel Jones, I want to talk to you about Daniel Jones.
• 40:21
  Right, quickly. So Daniel Jones just signed A2
• 40:25
  year $88 million contract with the Colts.
• 40:29
  Now I might, I might make myself look a bit stupid here, right?
• 40:33
  I've got a question about this. Why, why did the Colts tag him a
• 40:37
  week ago when they were going to give him a contract?
• 40:41
  Why not just give him this contract last week?
• 40:46
  So my understanding is basically, obviously the tag
• 40:53
  allows negotiation and it allows the opportunity for him to speak
• 41:02
  to other people. However, it guarantees him a
• 41:09
  contract in some aspects. So if they tag him, he gets a
• 41:12
  contract based on, I think if I remember right, it was the
• 41:16
  transition tag, wasn't it? Yeah, Yeah.
• 41:19
  So it's a top ten average, a top ten average salary.
• 41:24
  Now, if I'm right, so researcher Cal did put something in our
• 41:29
  notes earlier on actually about this that the contract is then
• 41:34
  ended up with is 16th in the league.
• 41:38
  So excuse me. So it's actually below when you
• 41:42
  work it out across the two years.
• 41:45
  So the tag would have given him a one year contract based on a
• 41:48
  top 10 on the transition. So he would have needed another
• 41:52
  another team to match that and see him worth a top ten
• 41:56
  contract. Whereas the contract he's got is
• 42:00
  basically 16th in the league, which is mad when you think it's
• 42:09
  worth about 40 odd mil, you know.
• 42:15
  So it's it's a difficult one really with Daniel Jones, who I
• 42:22
  think is he worth the top 16 contract?
• 42:26
  I don't think so. He had one very good season at
• 42:31
  the Giants and then that's when he got paid like mad and then
• 42:36
  had terrible seasons. And then last season he started
• 42:40
  really well. He had a solid first six or
• 42:42
  seven games, shit the bed and obviously got injured.
• 42:46
  So it's hard to say how that season would have gone.
• 42:49
  So does he deserve for two years top top 16 paid quarterback in
• 42:54
  the league? I don't think so.
• 42:57
  So was it a good bit of business by the by the Colts to
• 43:04
  transition tag him? Yes, because it put all the
• 43:07
  teams off. Has Daniel Jones got a decent
• 43:11
  contract? Yes, he has.
• 43:14
  Did the Colts have the opportunity to get a better
• 43:16
  quarterback for a better contract?
• 43:22
  I don't know, because the chance that he doesn't start the start
• 43:25
  of the season, so he's getting paid 44,000,000 for his first
• 43:30
  year and probably not staying on the field for six months of
• 43:32
  that. And that blows my mind that
• 43:35
  they've managed to get that around.
• 43:37
  Look, the whole thing about you saying like you shut the bed and
• 43:39
  all this stuff. I fully agree with you because
• 43:42
  it's that it's that playing for a contract mentality.
• 43:44
  You see when interim managers or coaches step in and the team
• 43:48
  automatically starts playing like they've never played
• 43:50
  before. But first five games, the
• 43:52
  manager then gets a contract to take over the team and then the
• 43:55
  team shut the bed and shit. A QB comes in or a player comes
• 44:00
  in who's come off of injury or you know, he went to free agency
• 44:04
  and moved somewhere to mid season storms.
• 44:07
  It gets paid shits to bed. Like you see this all the time
• 44:12
  and we'll soon get comfortable. I just, I think it's a fair
• 44:16
  contract for what he's worth. And I think, I think, you know,
• 44:18
  he's 16 in the league at the moment.
• 44:20
  But I think going forward that'll change because of the
• 44:22
  the climate at the moment, how it's going up and up and up
• 44:25
  other contracts, but location is one of them.
• 44:28
  I don't think he's, I don't think he'll have 11 season like
• 44:30
  he has done before. I don't think he sees out until
• 44:33
  Christmas this year because I think his injury will really
• 44:36
  affect how mobile he is and realistically what they could do
• 44:42
  elsewhere in your tank for another QB.
• 44:44
  Maybe I don't know across the line on that, but that's that's
• 44:47
  my thoughts on that. I mean, I like the guy.
• 44:49
  He's he's he's he's all right. And he's he's shown me a little
• 44:52
  bit of a difference to why it wasn't the Giants.
• 44:54
  But hey, ho, I still don't think he's what he what he were made
• 44:57
  out to be another person that has just resigned and that is
• 45:01
  Aaron Jones, who is staying at the Vikings one year contract.
• 45:05
  I think it is just sort of one year extension.
• 45:08
  He's staying at the Vikings now. It's just it's solid fit.
• 45:11
  No system. I think it's I think it was
• 45:15
  which one of them. But they're keeping the veteran
• 45:17
  running back on on board. And you've got a little dump off
• 45:19
  valve there not not really hitting your your cap too much.
• 45:23
  So happy days on that. So about anything from yourself
• 45:26
  regarding the free agency, the signings or the trades that
• 45:29
  we've missed or anything like that before we get into our next
• 45:32
  feature of the evening. No, nothing we've missed.
• 45:36
  I just, I think, well, I say nothing we've missed, nothing we
• 45:38
  want to talk about. It's, it's just, I do love this
• 45:44
  week and I've enjoyed the chaos a little bit.
• 45:47
  Like the Crosby thing has just been absolute chaos and I've
• 45:49
  loved that. Absolutely brilliant.
• 45:53
  For me, it's now like the thing I love about this week is how
• 45:59
  much this impacts the draft and we'll we'll have draft previews
• 46:04
  coming up. Obviously it's over a month
• 46:06
  away, but we'll have draft previews coming up.
• 46:09
  I'm sure. I don't think either of us, I
• 46:12
  know Zach obviously are probably a little bit more into the
• 46:14
  college game than I am, but I don't think either of us would
• 46:17
  be claimed to be experts. So it's, it's, I just like the,
• 46:25
  the fact that it's, it's kind of painting a picture as to where
• 46:30
  these teams are directing in the draft and what they're kind of
• 46:34
  looking for. And then in the draft, you get
• 46:36
  all the freaking curve balls that you'd you'd expect.
• 46:40
  So it's just, I love this time of year and I'm not an expert in
• 46:44
  it, but I love it. I love it because it's just
• 46:46
  like, oh, look at this chaos and look at what this is causing to
• 46:50
  the league and the teams and it it just turns everything upside
• 46:53
  down. It amazes me how much money is
• 46:55
  in NFL and you don't get transfers like you do in soccer
• 47:00
  football, where be where you buy a player, you trade players, you
• 47:03
  trade them and you people just move from teams, team a lot of
• 47:06
  time for like, you know, for next and nothing as such.
• 47:08
  And I I love that. I think soccer is ruined by how
• 47:11
  much money's involved with transferring players over.
• 47:13
  And I love the fact of how you can trade people and the draft
• 47:16
  in particular is fantastic. But yeah, like I say, we'll we
• 47:19
  will get up on all this guys as well.
• 47:20
  Let us know who's you've been your favourite signing so far.
• 47:24
  If you see your favourite trade, your favourite free agent kind
• 47:28
  of movement, let us know in the comments, whether that's on
• 47:30
  Spotify, Apple or on YouTube, let us know across there or just
• 47:34
  fly over to his socials as well. Comment on one of his videos.
• 47:36
  Let us know what you think are your signings.
• 47:38
  If your team's involved with the signing.
• 47:40
  I'm sure Keelan, by the way, is going to get in the comments
• 47:43
  because he's been odd. Hendrix and this Hendrix and
• 47:46
  that I we want him here like I think he's going to be super
• 47:50
  stoked about that and not even to give away his first round
• 47:52
  picture. Just let us know what your views
• 47:53
  are and that guys as well. OK right moving on we're taking
• 47:58
  the jet back over to the UK. We're talking rugby league.
• 48:04
  It's time for I can't speak get him off ref rugby league is back
• 48:09
  easier now. We went through a few of the the
• 48:14
  headlines and scores last week and well, I might have got a bit
• 48:18
  ahead of myself on certain things and I'll hold my hands up
• 48:21
  right. And we're going to get to that.
• 48:23
  Because if you see, if you if you are watching on the on, on
• 48:26
  the see the visuals, you can see the last score that's on the
• 48:29
  list. And we're going to touch on
• 48:31
  that. And it's painful.
• 48:32
  But this week of rugby I watched, I managed to watch a
• 48:38
  few of the games over the weekend, but I say I worked very
• 48:40
  well and I just caught up on the highlights of a few of you
• 48:42
  things. Now.
• 48:45
  Wigan will not lose a game this year if they stay fit.
• 48:48
  They are the best team in the Super League by a country mile.
• 48:53
  They're unbelievably good this year.
• 48:55
  They just look flawless and it's painful to say, but they just
• 48:59
  keep week after week, just keep coming back and just doing
• 49:03
  everything right and it looks like they're having so much fun
• 49:06
  out there and that's how you win games, by scoring drives and
• 49:10
  having fun. You can see they're having fun.
• 49:11
  They see them just messing about with the ball and just playing
• 49:14
  with the food and it's, I'm not going to touch too much on that
• 49:17
  to lose game. But obviously to lose will start
• 49:20
  out the year very, very strong. And now back-to-back losses now
• 49:24
  they've had. But playing Wigan this week is
• 49:27
  is a tough, tough ask and it makes the first game of the
• 49:30
  season against those look a bit better for us.
• 49:32
  Like, you know, and they keep putting these points on the
• 49:34
  board, but it's one of them, yeah.
• 49:37
  It does, yeah. It's it's they, they just look
• 49:42
  dominant. They look absolutely dominant.
• 49:45
  And, but I mean, you know, like, who would have guessed 1636 for
• 49:52
  a team coming up from the championship?
• 49:55
  And it's a good score. Like it's a respectable score,
• 49:59
  especially with the some of the scores that we're going to put
• 50:01
  up. And then like Warrington,
• 50:03
  they're having a great year so far.
• 50:06
  And York took him to 3038. There's two teams there we spoke
• 50:10
  about a good few times who are putting up some really good
• 50:14
  scores. And Bradford, like all three
• 50:18
  teams, it's nuts. Like the Super League this year
• 50:22
  is. It's exciting, it's exciting.
• 50:25
  So good, It's so good. Not.
• 50:28
  Not so much for Huddersfield, not so much for Hull.
• 50:32
  I'd say not so much for Castleford this year.
• 50:34
  But I don't I I'm trying not to be biassed like not this year,
• 50:40
  this week done it again, trying not to be bad for those
• 50:43
  listeners who listen week in week out.
• 50:44
  We do it often say, yeah, we mean week.
• 50:47
  And I'm trying not to be biassed.
• 50:49
  But like Huddersfield are the worst team in the league again
• 50:57
  and and whole are down there. I've seen quite a lot on X and
• 51:01
  Twitter basically saying like the only team worse than us are
• 51:05
  the Huddersfield from Paul fans. And I probably agree.
• 51:08
  They're not great. They're not great at all.
• 51:13
  You know, Wakefield have had a rough year to start with after
• 51:17
  last year, which was pretty promising, but to then only beat
• 51:20
  them 1410, it just shows that quality there.
• 51:23
  And I think the cast game and the cast and Leeds game was, it
• 51:27
  was frustrating actually, because I don't want to be
• 51:31
  biassed and say, oh, the score doesn't do it justice because
• 51:34
  actually I think the score does exactly the justice it deserves.
• 51:39
  But I don't think it was. I don't think the score reflects
• 51:44
  a full team effort. I think the score reflects Leeds
• 51:49
  exposing a weak area of a team. And you know, and that and that
• 51:54
  edge of ours was it was just catastrophic against Leeds.
• 52:00
  There's so many memes going around and like videos on X of
• 52:04
  it. It's just poor.
• 52:07
  I disagree with you. I think the score is how can I
• 52:16
  put this? Leeds deserved to score 100
• 52:20
  pastors because we were absolutely terrible.
• 52:23
  We, we, we would have not would have not completed a set without
• 52:27
  if we're still there now. They were one of the worst games
• 52:30
  of rugby league from cast that I've watched in probably two
• 52:33
  seasons at least. I thought we looked like we
• 52:36
  could be arsed. We looked we were.
• 52:38
  We were tired after after 5 without a mistake because I went
• 52:42
  to my mum's house to watch it. She went a Sunday in a blessing
• 52:44
  because we weren't feeling right.
• 52:45
  Well, so we went, we went to mum's to watch it and said with
• 52:48
  the 1st 5 minutes we're blowing, we're blowing out already.
• 52:51
  We are blowing already. And we, we, we're 5 minutes into
• 52:55
  the game, the first kick off. No one's putting their name.
• 52:58
  Simple rugby league. This is rugby league winner when
• 53:01
  you get taught this. We're playing under fives,
• 53:03
  putting in the ball. What a name on the.
• 53:06
  Ball try only I only watched the the second-half, so the first.
• 53:10
  So I worked this. I don't normally work weekends.
• 53:12
  Just not to get into that. I don't normally work weekends.
• 53:15
  I worked this weekend and I listened to the first half or
• 53:19
  most of it on my drive home and then I think I sent you a
• 53:23
  picture. Actually, I was like, right, I'm
• 53:25
  I'm I'm not feeling this week. I'm working.
• 53:28
  I'm going to get in there, get in the hot tub and I'm going to
• 53:30
  watch it from the hot tub. And I had a right nice relaxing
• 53:33
  watch of that second-half and I didn't see the first half.
• 53:36
  I just listened to it on the radio, but they didn't paint
• 53:38
  that picture that it was just it was more that that right edge of
• 53:44
  ours was just it was and you it. Was it was awful and it weren't
• 53:51
  just they weren't just that aside, the first half were the
• 53:54
  best half forecast, the second-half of the worst half a
• 53:56
  cast. I'm not talking from a from a, a
• 54:00
  pundit side of thing. I'm talking from a fan of the
• 54:03
  team here. We was shocking and we just
• 54:06
  could not, we just couldn't be. Look, it's hard.
• 54:12
  Like you say, you don't want to be biassed because we try to be.
• 54:14
  We try to like give a Fairview on everything here.
• 54:17
  But you know, I'm, I'm a supporter of teams and I support
• 54:21
  one of these teams and that team is Castleford.
• 54:23
  And honest to God, I just think it wouldn't, it would just
• 54:27
  amateur and it looked really it were really bad light going from
• 54:31
  the week before. And yes, we played Huddersfield
• 54:32
  the week before, but how much fun we was having with that bar
• 54:35
  the week before, not one person over the maps wanted to be on
• 54:38
  that field. Genuinely not what didn't want
• 54:40
  to didn't want to be on that field.
• 54:42
  It was awful to watch. Yeah, it's, it's difficult and
• 54:47
  it, and yeah, I think it's, I think that's probably a reflect
• 54:52
  the score's probably a reflection of the first few
• 54:54
  games of the season. We've had two good games, 2 poor
• 54:57
  games. So it'll be interesting to see
• 54:59
  how it goes. But I think the league as a
• 55:01
  whole is, despite what people said about the what is it a 14
• 55:06
  team, 14 team league, the real hesitation was the quality.
• 55:11
  But actually I think the teams that they were worried about,
• 55:15
  we've actually got the quality. It's.
• 55:18
  So we've got we've got three teams here that that have been
• 55:20
  putting loads of that have been putting good games in.
• 55:22
  You've got like the three teams that have come up, shall I say,
• 55:24
  you've got Bradford, you've got Toulouse and you've got York.
• 55:28
  Out of them three teams at this moment, who's the better team
• 55:31
  and who's finishing above the other three?
• 55:34
  Because they were the three Like are these, is the quality good
• 55:37
  enough from the championship to step into the Super League?
• 55:39
  And honestly, they're showing it's fucking far better at this
• 55:42
  moment in time. So which of the three teams for
• 55:44
  me for you? Sorry that that will be top 1-2
• 55:47
  and three in that I'm not set. I would go York top to lose 2nd
• 55:59
  and Bradford third, but it's a close.
• 56:01
  It's close between 2nd and 3rd for me.
• 56:04
  Really close. See how we're going to go York.
• 56:08
  Sorry to lose York Bradford up until this week because I think
• 56:13
  to lose applied the first two weeks really like really, really
• 56:17
  exciting, but I don't know if they've had their numbers shown
• 56:22
  now if teams are picking up how to if you kind of maintain that
• 56:27
  half back, you can win the game by that full back.
• 56:31
  Sorry, you can win the game. But yeah, I think, I think York
• 56:35
  have got some quality there and I think, and there's an
• 56:37
  organisation as well, I think they've got a quality there.
• 56:39
  I don't know if you've seen it, actually you've been quite ill,
• 56:42
  but just this last, excuse me, this last 24 hours or so, York
• 56:48
  of an announced a new partnership with New York Rugby
• 56:53
  League. So York Knights Rugby League
• 56:58
  Football club I have now created.
• 57:01
  I don't know the full intricacies.
• 57:03
  I've only just seen it today, the New York Knights Rugby
• 57:08
  League. So they've got the shared badge,
• 57:10
  they've got the shared branding, just slight difference.
• 57:13
  It says New York, not York. So I'm just wondering whether
• 57:17
  that's a reignition, A reignited sort of USA league.
• 57:22
  I don't know if you remember, like I think it's pre COVID
• 57:25
  actually there was that USA league wasn't there and there's
• 57:28
  a York team. Or whether that's like the next
• 57:32
  Toronto Wolf Pack coming through, I don't know.
• 57:35
  But York as a club have done a lot right over the last 5-6
• 57:40
  years, aren't they? Like they've done a lot, right?
• 57:43
  So it'll be interesting to see what they can do with this.
• 57:46
  And it's fantastic branding, fantastic.
• 57:50
  But I think it's, it'd be interesting, I think it's good
• 57:53
  to see them doing that because like you said, there was that
• 57:56
  USA league that was trying to start out.
• 57:57
  And if more teams do this, you've now got the rugby going
• 58:00
  over to Vegas, which is then going to shine a bit of light
• 58:03
  over because you've got the NRL and the Super League kind of
• 58:05
  going over there. So if they can get a USA game of
• 58:08
  three games in a day, like a bit like a Magic Weekend, but over
• 58:11
  it stakes. I think I've been pretty cool of
• 58:13
  all three leagues. You've got the market there for,
• 58:16
  you've got the money there for it.
• 58:17
  I think it's the branding and the financial.
• 58:20
  I think he's I think he's great. I mean, I think more teams need
• 58:22
  to do it and I'm all I'm all for this and I think it's obviously
• 58:26
  York and New York just go hand in hand and it's it may it makes
• 58:30
  sense to do so. All KR though, a team that did
• 58:34
  go to Vegas, right, All KR beating Huddersfield this
• 58:37
  weekend. Do you think that's a kick up
• 58:39
  after the needed to kind of get back into winning ways because
• 58:42
  they've not looked they've not looked right this year other as
• 58:47
  reigning champions. And I think it's something that
• 58:51
  was probably right time, right place for them, like 32 six
• 58:55
  against Huddersfield and the reigning champions is is
• 58:59
  considering some of the scores we've seen.
• 59:01
  It's not a great score. Actually, I think Huddersfield
• 59:03
  have been terrible. It's basically the same score.
• 59:07
  I can't remember the exact score, but it's basically the
• 59:09
  same score, if not a worse score than what cast put by them.
• 59:14
  So I don't think it says much for whole KR, but it's
• 59:19
  definitely much needed win. They they needed it and it's
• 59:22
  come at the right time. So, you know, maybe they've now
• 59:26
  got the the World Cup challenge and they've got the Vegas game
• 59:29
  behind them. They might start making run, but
• 59:32
  I don't think it tells us much at this point.
• 59:35
  No, it's a rough time to be a Huddersfield fan.
• 59:37
  No one likes to see teams in that position where you kind of
• 59:42
  you're the team, you, you're the team that nobody wants to lose
• 59:47
  and gives you your first win because then what does that say
• 59:50
  for yourself? Like it's one of them.
• 59:52
  Do you know what I mean? Anyway, like they're the Super.
• 59:55
  the Super League scores are on the screen right now.
• 59:56
  We're not going to go through them all.
• 59:57
  We've gone through a few of the big games there. the Super
• 59:59
  League scores are on there. Like I say, if you want to see
• 1:00:01
  them, head over to our YouTube or Spotify.
• 1:00:04
  Anything else from this week Brad, in the world of rugby
• 1:00:07
  league before we move on to one of our favourite features.
• 1:00:13
  No, I'm I'm looking forward to looking at other balls.
• 1:00:17
  Oh, and now you say we're going to move in to one of our
• 1:00:24
  favourite features here, which is all other balls.
• 1:00:30
  Brad, will you do me a favour and just just let the guys know
• 1:00:32
  what is all of the balls? So it's where we look at the
• 1:00:40
  world of sport. So we look at all of the sports
• 1:00:43
  that we've not touched upon. So obviously we've NFL podcast,
• 1:00:46
  but we now have our rugby league feature as well.
• 1:00:49
  So we're going to look at other sports around the globe.
• 1:00:52
  And I believe, Zach, you're going to start us off with the
• 1:00:55
  world of football, as in soccer ball.
• 1:00:59
  Yes, soccer ball indeed. Just to trigger a few, a few of
• 1:01:04
  the old football fans out there this week, right?
• 1:01:08
  I believe, and please don't quote me this.
• 1:01:11
  I think it was a champion Champions League game, right?
• 1:01:14
  Spurs were playing and Spurs are not in a great place this moment
• 1:01:17
  in time. And the Spurs manager decided to
• 1:01:20
  let out the reserve goalkeeper, a man named Antonin Kinski.
• 1:01:27
  OK. And yeah, Antonin Kinski.
• 1:01:30
  So they decided to give him a shot, put him in goal.
• 1:01:33
  What's the worst that can happen?
• 1:01:34
  They've not been fantastic so far this year.
• 1:01:36
  Well, what is the worst that can happen?
• 1:01:38
  17 minutes in they are three nil down.
• 1:01:44
  Two of the goals come in from two of the two of the goals come
• 1:01:49
  in from the goalkeeper. Mr Kinski slipping in his own
• 1:01:55
  box while trying to clear the ball. 17 minutes in, the
• 1:01:59
  goalkeeper gets substituted. That don't let him finish the
• 1:02:04
  game. I believe it finished like 5-2
• 1:02:05
  or five something. This, I don't think he's ever
• 1:02:10
  happened. The goalkeeper coming off, not
• 1:02:12
  due to injury, but just coming off 70.
• 1:02:16
  This is such a morale kick. It's just not least it's not
• 1:02:21
  good for this guy's career. And I saw David Dehaya post
• 1:02:25
  something out on Instagram basically saying like, look,
• 1:02:27
  it's the hardest position to play as goalkeeper.
• 1:02:29
  You've a lonely position. Please don't, don't get behind.
• 1:02:33
  Get behind this guy. Let's get him back up.
• 1:02:35
  You know, he's a professional at the end of the day.
• 1:02:37
  But if you watch the highlights, I did, I did, I watched the
• 1:02:41
  highlights this morning on it is it's not great.
• 1:02:44
  It's not a great look, I'm not going to lie to you.
• 1:02:48
  It's one of those weird positions, like it's kind of
• 1:02:52
  like a kicker in the NFL where you've got one job, mate, you've
• 1:02:56
  got one job. However, I think it's a little
• 1:02:59
  bit different in terms of your job is made much harder.
• 1:03:04
  You know, if there's a lot of players around and the balls
• 1:03:06
  back and forth and stuff like that, like your job's really
• 1:03:08
  difficult, fair play. You've got one job and that's
• 1:03:12
  not to fucking slip and stay on your feet and save the save the
• 1:03:17
  ball. Like save the goal or stop the
• 1:03:19
  ball, however you want to phrase it.
• 1:03:22
  Three goals in 17 minutes is rough.
• 1:03:25
  That's really rough. It is.
• 1:03:27
  It weren't great. It weren't.
• 1:03:28
  Professional goalkeeper. Yes, yes, it were great, but
• 1:03:34
  that's my other my all of the balls of this week.
• 1:03:38
  I believe we're going to touch on briefly on the opening race
• 1:03:43
  for our All The balls #2 Brad, what do you reckon?
• 1:03:48
  We are. So we're going to visit the
• 1:03:49
  world of the F1. So obviously this year, this
• 1:03:52
  week did it again. This week was the opening Grand
• 1:03:58
  Prix of the 2026 Formula One season, and we won't go into all
• 1:04:05
  the details. You need to revisit our previous
• 1:04:07
  pods to touch on that. Let's touch on those balls.
• 1:04:12
  But it's a big season because it's it's it's new regulations,
• 1:04:16
  it's new chassis, it's new teams, it's new drivers.
• 1:04:22
  It's basically like every three to four years, the most exciting
• 1:04:28
  year of changes because it kind of puts new teams into the
• 1:04:32
  forefront. You know, we've had domination
• 1:04:36
  over the last 3-4 years of Red Bull and McLaren, but this
• 1:04:41
  weekend saw Mercedes coming to the forefront as kind of
• 1:04:45
  expected. So to not go too into heavy
• 1:04:51
  detail, but in the Formula One you've got teams who build like
• 1:04:59
  a car and run the organisation and things and you know, hire
• 1:05:03
  the drivers and stuff like that. And then you've got what they
• 1:05:06
  call the PU providers, so the power unit providers, which are
• 1:05:10
  basically engines. Mercedes are one of the teams
• 1:05:15
  that have both of their own. You've got teams such as Ferrari
• 1:05:23
  that have got their own. You've got teams then like
• 1:05:26
  McLaren who run the Mercedes engine, but obviously they run
• 1:05:31
  their own team, etcetera, etcetera.
• 1:05:36
  And it's been a massive, massive change this year.
• 1:05:39
  But Mercedes basically dominated from start to finish and they
• 1:05:43
  got the 1-2 at the end of the race.
• 1:05:46
  But for me, what's interesting, what I found really quite
• 1:05:49
  exciting, two things actually sort of different ends of the
• 1:05:53
  spectrum is the Ferrari were back there.
• 1:05:57
  It was basically a strategy error from Ferrari to either
• 1:06:04
  cost them the win or at least cost them to be competing for
• 1:06:08
  the win. By the way.
• 1:06:13
  Yeah, shocker. So for those not into Formula
• 1:06:16
  One, this is just an ongoing thing that Ferrari, despite the
• 1:06:19
  brand and the name, have terrible strategic decisions.
• 1:06:24
  And this year actually, Yeah. So Charles Leclerc, who drives
• 1:06:30
  for Ferrari, and George Russell, who drives a Mercedes were back
• 1:06:34
  and forth alternating first and 2nd for a good while and it was
• 1:06:38
  actually really exciting. It's not often over the last
• 1:06:42
  three or four years that you get constant swapping over at first
• 1:06:46
  and second in a in a Formula One race.
• 1:06:49
  And so obviously the new regulations are working in some
• 1:06:53
  respects. And I think obviously it takes
• 1:06:55
  time for the drivers to figure out the new regulations.
• 1:07:01
  But then you had a safety car which basically brings all the
• 1:07:08
  pack together and that's what moves the strategy.
• 1:07:12
  And Mercedes went in and they pitted, they got fresh tyres and
• 1:07:15
  Ferrari stayed out. And long and short of it is
• 1:07:19
  that's what cost Ferrari the race.
• 1:07:20
  If they'd have pitted at the right time, they've added the
• 1:07:23
  same strategy as Mercedes and would have competed for the 1st
• 1:07:26
  2 and it could have been AA12 Ferrari, it could have been A
• 1:07:31
  A1234 split between the two teams.
• 1:07:35
  It would have been unknown really how that would have
• 1:07:37
  ended. But it had been really exciting
• 1:07:40
  and but it didn't quite work out.
• 1:07:41
  Ferrari gained a lot in those last few laps and I think I
• 1:07:45
  think it worked out. If they'd have had another 5 to
• 1:07:47
  10 laps, they could have taken over Mercedes.
• 1:07:50
  So it's it's quite exciting for the future of the season for me,
• 1:07:55
  but it was just a typical Ferrari shit share on strategy
• 1:07:59
  that cost them another race, which is a shame really.
• 1:08:02
  For me, there's two things that I took away that the obviously
• 1:08:06
  it's the new year of all the new regulations, but what bugs me is
• 1:08:09
  teams get told about the regulations so they could put
• 1:08:12
  the research and development into it.
• 1:08:14
  So the teams and the money, like Mercedes knew at the start of
• 1:08:17
  last year, they're going to have a really shit season last year,
• 1:08:20
  but then this year they were going to, they were going to
• 1:08:21
  smash it. Red Bull, the exact same thing,
• 1:08:23
  right? 2020, end of 2021 when Max won
• 1:08:27
  the Abu Dhabi GP, like they knew the season afterwards that they
• 1:08:31
  were going to storm it. McLaren then knew that they were
• 1:08:32
  going to storm it. It kind of gives it away.
• 1:08:35
  We knew last year that that Mercedes were going to be good.
• 1:08:37
  You just got to put the right drivers into it.
• 1:08:39
  Yeah, they put them in for me. I'd be like, no, no, the
• 1:08:42
  regulations come out on the day after the last race of the
• 1:08:46
  season. You've got pre season to sort
• 1:08:49
  your cars out. I think it makes it a bit more
• 1:08:50
  fun to how good you, how good your development team actually
• 1:08:53
  is rather than knowing two years in advance.
• 1:08:56
  So you got two years to prep your car for it.
• 1:08:58
  I get there's a lot of money, there's a lot of stuff involved
• 1:09:00
  with. I think from a spectator point
• 1:09:01
  of view, we knew what was coming.
• 1:09:02
  We knew what was coming and I don't know.
• 1:09:06
  I think it's a bit more exciting from that, I think.
• 1:09:08
  To A to a point though, because like there's, there's two sides
• 1:09:12
  to that. So like I I get your point and I
• 1:09:14
  agree with it completely, but everyone expected Aston Mine.
• 1:09:18
  They had Adrian Newey who is arguably the best developer of
• 1:09:23
  cars ever in the Formula One. He's gone to Aston mine but
• 1:09:27
  actually their PU is dog shit and now they're suffering
• 1:09:31
  massively. So they've arguably got one of
• 1:09:33
  the best designers of cars working with Honda who have
• 1:09:38
  provided them an absolutely terrible engine.
• 1:09:40
  So it's not working. However, from the flip side of
• 1:09:45
  that, I get what you're saying in terms of, oh, they just had a
• 1:09:49
  few months to to design and do this.
• 1:09:52
  Yeah, I agree. But actually with Formula One,
• 1:09:54
  and if you're not into Formula One, which I know you are, Zach,
• 1:09:57
  so I'm not sort of lecturing you, if you're not into Formula
• 1:10:00
  One, the when you're talking about aero design and the actual
• 1:10:05
  engineering involved involved in Formula One, it's basically the
• 1:10:10
  level below space engineering, aeronautical design.
• 1:10:14
  So you've got aerospace and then you've got Formula One when
• 1:10:19
  you're talking about engineering.
• 1:10:20
  So to design basically a rocket ship that drives on the road in
• 1:10:25
  three months, it's just not gonna happen, is it?
• 1:10:28
  You've got one job. Design it for me.
• 1:10:32
  I know I'm not. I say that, I say that very
• 1:10:34
  naive, I say that very naively and I understand that they only
• 1:10:37
  get a certain amount of hours in, in the air in, in that the
• 1:10:39
  aerodynamics chambers and things and the wind tunnels and things.
• 1:10:42
  I get that and I understand that.
• 1:10:44
  I just thinking how funny would it be to the all the cars set
• 1:10:48
  off and three of them finished because they've all broke down.
• 1:10:51
  Look at OO Piastre, by the way, who was tipped to be one of the
• 1:10:55
  world champions last year, who who was fighting London Oris by
• 1:10:59
  the way, to fall out Drivers World Championship last year
• 1:11:04
  didn't go right get round on the opening lap, not in the race in
• 1:11:07
  the warm up lap because he spun it out and crashed on his home
• 1:11:11
  race. Find that that that type of
• 1:11:13
  stuff for me is hilarious. But the F1 opening weekend we've
• 1:11:16
  had we've had a few comments actually when we spoke about F1
• 1:11:19
  previously, like can you talk more on F1 now the F1 season's
• 1:11:23
  starting. Obviously we've got I can't
• 1:11:25
  speak with the rugby league season and we are touched on the
• 1:11:27
  NFL as we would do. Do you guys want to hear do do
• 1:11:30
  you want us to kind of feature F1 as one of our all the balls
• 1:11:33
  every week? If so, let us know in the
• 1:11:34
  comments below. We love F1.
• 1:11:36
  We can talk F1 if you guys like it as well.
• 1:11:38
  We'd rather make sure that you guys are getting the the the
• 1:11:41
  content and and and the discussion that you that you
• 1:11:43
  want to hear. But that's how all the balls for
• 1:11:47
  the week. We're going to move on to our
• 1:11:48
  final segment of this week and it's our recurring, yeah, our
• 1:11:53
  recurring segment for a Mr Cowl research.
• 1:11:57
  Carl's conundrum that brings in week in, week out and last
• 1:12:00
  year's conundrum is on the screen now Which?
• 1:12:04
  You just said it. You just said last year's.
• 1:12:06
  What is wrong with us? Yes, what's wrong with us?
• 1:12:12
  I've got an excuse, right? I've got an excuse.
• 1:12:14
  I've been, I've been up since 3:30 for work this morning and
• 1:12:17
  I'm not very well. So I I've got an excuse, right?
• 1:12:19
  That's fine. I could use that for this week
• 1:12:21
  and this week only. So last week, Carl's conundrum
• 1:12:25
  was who was the highest drafted NFL kicker.
• 1:12:29
  So who was the highest drafted kicker in NFL history?
• 1:12:31
  And it was a Charlie Gogolak. Go, go Gogolak, Charlie Goga.
• 1:12:37
  Like, it was drafted 6th overall in 1966 by the Washington
• 1:12:41
  Redskins. So that's that is one that only
• 1:12:44
  researcher Carl would know. So, yeah, if you did get that,
• 1:12:48
  congratulations. I don't actually think many
• 1:12:49
  people got into our DMS about that one.
• 1:12:52
  But if you don't know as well, when we do, when we do these,
• 1:12:55
  we'll get them onto the onto all the socials, get in touch with
• 1:12:59
  their comment, drop us a message and all that jazz.
• 1:13:02
  Carl Scrutman for this week is Josh Allen broke the record for
• 1:13:07
  the most career rushing touchdowns for a quarterback in
