- 1:04Speaker 2: button and let's just let's just dive into the big fellow. Okay,
- 1:08Speaker 2: very very excited, uh to have the head coach of
- 1:13Speaker 2: the kan See Chiefs just coming off the practice field,
- 1:16Speaker 2: Andy Reid, Coach, how you doing?
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm doing good? John, Thanks, I appreciate you.
- 1:22Speaker 2: How was uh, how's practice been going. How's the off season?
- 1:25Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's been good. The guys have had a
- 1:28Speaker 3: great attitude. They've challenge each other the best they can
- 1:31Speaker 3: do in shorts and and I just like, I like
- 1:36Speaker 3: the way they're rolling. We've got a lot of young
- 1:38Speaker 3: guys and they're they're playing their tails off.
- 1:40Speaker 1: So it's been good.
- 1:42Speaker 2: So I take it with h with Patrick rehabbing this
- 1:45Speaker 2: knee injury, Justin running with the ones right now with
- 1:48Speaker 2: the quarterback.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Yeah, we split it, so Pat gets in and does
- 1:53Speaker 3: some of the uh seven on seven work and group
- 1:57Speaker 3: installed work, and then Justin takes more of the team stuff.
- 2:03Speaker 2: When you know, I was thinking about it today. You know,
- 2:05Speaker 2: like Manning missed that entire year the latter end of
- 2:08Speaker 2: his career with the neck. Brady had that ACL and
- 2:11Speaker 2: it was the first game ironically against the Chiefs before
- 2:14Speaker 2: you were there. So those guys had the entire season
- 2:17Speaker 2: to kind of sit back. Patrick he has this ACL injury,
- 2:20Speaker 2: but he plays most of the season. You know, It's
- 2:23Speaker 2: it's kind of unique. It's not like he just sat
- 2:25Speaker 2: all year and watched. He was part of this season.
- 2:28Speaker 2: So this offseason rehabbing, but he also got to, you know,
- 2:31Speaker 2: take ownership and everything that happened. I mean it's kind
- 2:34Speaker 2: of unique that more likely. I mean, all signs pointed
- 2:37Speaker 2: this going really well. Do you think that benefits him
- 2:40Speaker 2: that that last year, the struggles that he actually got
- 2:43Speaker 2: to partake in, and it's not like he had nothing
- 2:45Speaker 2: to do with it.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I guess yeah.
- 2:47Speaker 3: No, I mean all that's good, and you know, we'll
- 2:52Speaker 3: just see how he does going forward here. We're not
- 2:55Speaker 3: guaranteeing anything with everybody's different than right now. He's doing
- 2:58Speaker 3: a good job and working his tail off and being
- 3:01Speaker 3: able to get out there and do that, but that's
- 3:04Speaker 3: different than when it's live. So we'll just see how
- 3:08Speaker 3: he does here over the next couple of months before
- 3:10Speaker 3: we get started.
- 3:12Speaker 2: You know, justin Fields, I remember a couple of years
- 3:15Speaker 2: ago and Ryan Poles, you know, used to work for
- 3:17Speaker 2: you guys there, so you know him well. I remember
- 3:20Speaker 2: when he traded him. He was so impressed the way
- 3:22Speaker 2: Fields handled everything and the way he's really handled his
- 3:24Speaker 2: whole career these last couple of years in Pittsburgh and
- 3:26Speaker 2: New York. I know how much you guys value that
- 3:29Speaker 2: quarterback room. And the character stuff. Obviously, from a trade standpoint,
- 3:33Speaker 2: he's right up your alley, big arm can move, big kid.
- 3:36Speaker 2: But from a character standpoint, you making that move this offseason,
- 3:41Speaker 2: how much did that mean for you guys? From the
- 3:43Speaker 2: person as well as this player, this kind of guy
- 3:46Speaker 2: that you can work with.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's top notch.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Were a great kid, I mean, phenomenal kid, John, and
- 3:51Speaker 3: he's very very smart. He's just getting his feet wet
- 3:55Speaker 3: here within the offense. Every day he gets a little
- 3:59Speaker 3: bit better and more comfort for ball and like what
- 4:02Speaker 3: we see, but we'll just see where it goes. But
- 4:05Speaker 3: he he's been working with the ones and doing a
- 4:07Speaker 3: nice job and getting used to the receivers and whether
- 4:11Speaker 3: it's the tight ends or or the white outs, and
- 4:13Speaker 3: then what we're doing with the running back stuff.
- 4:15Speaker 1: So but I sure like the way it goes about
- 4:18Speaker 1: his business.
- 4:19Speaker 2: When you are are talking about making the trade. Obviously,
- 4:22Speaker 2: over the years you've played him, you've seen him on
- 4:24Speaker 2: cross tape, but really dive into him. How far do
- 4:27Speaker 2: you go back from an evaluation standpoint? Before you know,
- 4:30Speaker 2: you go of each let's let's do this. Well.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I was lucky enough to have Matt Naggi here, so
- 4:35Speaker 3: Matt had him and drafted him and that one year
- 4:38Speaker 3: in Chicago, so I've got a little I had a
- 4:40Speaker 3: little feel on how he was made up and how
- 4:44Speaker 3: he went about his business and and then I've heard
- 4:47Speaker 3: nothing but good things from his other stays around the league.
- 4:51Speaker 3: So I was very comfortable doing it. And you know,
- 4:56Speaker 3: we just we just keep getting better every day. That's
- 4:58Speaker 3: that's the key, and and becoming more familiar with everything.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Well, you had another quarterback that you guys draft in
- 5:05Speaker 2: the seventh round. I actually worked with Nuss's dad at
- 5:09Speaker 2: Freso State. He was the offensive coordinator, so football family.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Nuss's dad was a left he could could play back
- 5:15Speaker 2: in the day, and you know, his season kind of
- 5:18Speaker 2: went awry. Obviously, he got injured, had that abdominal thing
- 5:23Speaker 2: that I guess came out in training camp. The evaluation
- 5:26Speaker 2: process there and how's he been coming along for you?
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah, so our scouts liked him and.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Each liked him, so I felt very comfortable with bringing
- 5:37Speaker 3: him in in particular where we got him, I mean
- 5:40Speaker 3: in the seventh round.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I mean that's.
- 5:43Speaker 3: You know, that's a great spot to pick somebody up,
- 5:46Speaker 3: and that's a good football player. But he's done nothing
- 5:49Speaker 3: but impressed people here, and he goes about his business.
- 5:53Speaker 3: He understands the game. He was raised in it and
- 5:56Speaker 3: his dad was a good player at Idaho there and
- 5:58Speaker 3: and so he's been around it his whole life and
- 6:03Speaker 3: he kind of gets gets it and you can see
- 6:07Speaker 3: that when he's out here playing.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Is it kind of weird looking back now that mahomes
- 6:12Speaker 2: You know, when you first got him, obviously you have Alex,
- 6:14Speaker 2: and then you bring in Chad Henney, who I'm pretty
- 6:16Speaker 2: sure had been in the league for a while, was married.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Now he's the veteran guy with with these younger guys,
- 6:21Speaker 2: it's you've kind of seen it all in your career
- 6:24Speaker 2: home when it comes.
- 6:25Speaker 3: In, No, you know, we're not getting younger. So I
- 6:28Speaker 3: remember when you were a pup too, so I remember that. Yeah,
- 6:32Speaker 3: that's right. But he's listen, he's a great kid. It's
- 6:38Speaker 3: been fun to watch him grow. He's got a great wife.
- 6:41Speaker 3: He's got all these babies and that are that he's
- 6:45Speaker 3: he's loving on and growing them and so uh, they
- 6:49Speaker 3: they're very good parents.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And he just goes about it the right way.
- 6:54Speaker 3: And he's still the hardest worker in here. And he's
- 6:58Speaker 3: been here every day. I know that's been out there,
- 7:01Speaker 3: so he's been but that's what it is. I mean,
- 7:03Speaker 3: he's here every day and it's been seven he puts
- 7:06Speaker 3: in a whole work day, so it's a rehaving that
- 7:09Speaker 3: leg and he's done a good job with it.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Do you think a big part of your guys' success
- 7:15Speaker 2: has been the culture? You know, we hear that word
- 7:17Speaker 2: a lot, but obviously gets set by the players as
- 7:19Speaker 2: much as the coaches. His work ethic and obviously Travis
- 7:23Speaker 2: and the other guys you've had along the years, so
- 7:25Speaker 2: everyone else that comes in year in, year out. You
- 7:27Speaker 2: just had three guys draft in the top forty. That's
- 7:30Speaker 2: immediately what they see.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Yeah, now, sure helps.
- 7:34Speaker 3: And it started really given credit where the whole thing starts.
- 7:39Speaker 3: When I first got here, we had a lot of
- 7:42Speaker 3: really good defensive players here, and those guys, all those
- 7:46Speaker 3: veteran guys came out to me and they go, you
- 7:48Speaker 3: just tell us what you want done, and we're going
- 7:49Speaker 3: to do it, and we'll make sure everybody else does it.
- 7:52Speaker 3: And so my hat goes off to those guys for
- 7:54Speaker 3: that attitude and then we're able to challenge him and
- 7:59Speaker 3: they hung with it, and that's that's where the culture
- 8:02Speaker 3: takes place. And those guys get the credit for that,
- 8:05Speaker 3: and then these other guys are just kind of followed
- 8:08Speaker 3: in line. And we've and Brett's done a nice job
- 8:11Speaker 3: as John Dorrissey did before, bringing guys in that are
- 8:16Speaker 3: good guys, that are team guys. And as long as
- 8:19Speaker 3: you have that, you're normally in pretty good shape.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Now, you guys don't draft high very often, but when
- 8:25Speaker 2: you do, obviously the homes thing you trade it up.
- 8:27Speaker 2: This year it felt like no one saw it coming.
- 8:30Speaker 2: You guys do a pretty good job of operating like
- 8:33Speaker 2: Seal Team six and then just pounceing on the guy
- 8:35Speaker 2: you want it? Is that a conscious effort to you
- 8:37Speaker 2: and Veach and the whole crew talk about just let's
- 8:39Speaker 2: let's keep quiet. He because didn't you you guys zoom
- 8:41Speaker 2: delaying what it was like forty eight hours right before
- 8:44Speaker 2: the draft.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Yeah, well you know how that thing goes man, Those
- 8:47Speaker 3: loose lips sink the ships. I mean, that's there's nothing.
- 8:51Speaker 3: There's nothing greater in this, especially amongst scouts, and there
- 8:55Speaker 3: are a.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Lot of people involved.
- 8:56Speaker 3: So you tell one person is not sered, you know,
- 8:59Speaker 3: it's it spreads. It spreads fast in this league. So
- 9:03Speaker 3: I think Brett did a nice job of keeping keeping
- 9:06Speaker 3: it at bay and and uh, keeping it under wraps.
- 9:10Speaker 3: I thought, Listen, a great job on his part. That's
- 9:14Speaker 3: not an easy thing to do. And he had his
- 9:16Speaker 3: sight set on on this kid from the get go.
- 9:19Speaker 3: So and he actually got the.
- 9:23Speaker 1: The deal done with Andrew a week or two beforehand,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and so it was just a.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Matter of him being there at that time and that
- 9:33Speaker 3: opportunity to go up and get him, and for those
- 9:35Speaker 3: two guys to be able to keep it quiet.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I thought was great.
- 9:39Speaker 2: When's the first time he brought him up to you?
- 9:43Speaker 1: That was a while back.
- 9:44Speaker 3: I mean he said, this guy is the best corner
- 9:47Speaker 3: in the in the draft, and you know, we did
- 9:52Speaker 3: we did a couple things with our corners and lost
- 9:54Speaker 3: a couple of corners, whether it's to trade or or
- 9:58Speaker 3: free agency, and so we had we knew that was
- 10:01Speaker 3: an important position to replenish with, and so we had
- 10:06Speaker 3: our you know, Brett had his sight set on this kid.
- 10:11Speaker 1: For a while.
- 10:12Speaker 2: The emphasis on the defensive line. You know, you take Woods,
- 10:15Speaker 2: you take Thomas, Yeah, I mean you have two picks,
- 10:17Speaker 2: right twenty nine and forty. So you get to restock
- 10:21Speaker 2: the cover right there. Uh, tell me about those two guys,
- 10:24Speaker 2: how they've been looking at practice. Yeah, excitement to add
- 10:28Speaker 2: some big time talent up front.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Yeah, both Peter and ar Mason are.
- 10:32Speaker 3: They're they're good athletes and and so we needed we
- 10:38Speaker 3: needed some charge in there, just guys that could could
- 10:41Speaker 3: move around a little bit and when needed, if they
- 10:45Speaker 3: need a pass rush that they can put pressure on
- 10:47Speaker 3: these quarter It's quarterbacks are too good in this league,
- 10:49Speaker 3: and so are the offensive linemen. So you've got to
- 10:52Speaker 3: you've got to have some athletic ability and if you
- 10:55Speaker 3: can get it in a in an inside technique, that's
- 11:00Speaker 3: that's a tough.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Thing to do, but it's also a great thing. We
- 11:03Speaker 1: were able to do that.
- 11:04Speaker 2: I think the other big off season move Kenneth Walker.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Is it safe to say the Chiefs plan on leading
- 11:09Speaker 2: the league in rushing this year?
- 11:11Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know about that. I mean, I'm glad,
- 11:16Speaker 1: I'm glad we have for sure.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's you know, he wins the MVP.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Safe to say, that's a guy you know, coming when
- 11:24Speaker 2: he was coming out of Michigan State. You guys had
- 11:26Speaker 2: your eyes on you followed his career really pops this
- 11:29Speaker 2: year used to playing in big games. I mean, you
- 11:32Speaker 2: guys play every other week. It's you know, Thursday night,
- 11:35Speaker 2: Sunday night, Monday night. Right, So this is a guy
- 11:37Speaker 2: that's kind of used to the bright lights, the pressure,
- 11:39Speaker 2: big time division. Did you factor all that in besides
- 11:42Speaker 2: just the player of knowing the pressure that comes with
- 11:45Speaker 2: playing I mean, you guys are now like, you know,
- 11:47Speaker 2: the Midwest Cowboys in terms of your brand recognition.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Coach, Yeah, right, I would tell you I love the kid.
- 11:55Speaker 3: I mean, he's a tremendous kid, and he goes one
- 11:58Speaker 3: hundred miles every map out here. He's something to watch.
- 12:02Speaker 3: And I'm not telling you we're going to leave the
- 12:04Speaker 3: league in rushing, but I know we've got a good
- 12:07Speaker 3: offensive line and he's a good running back. So and uh,
- 12:13Speaker 3: he'll come out of the season knowing that he's run
- 12:15Speaker 3: the ball a few times.
- 12:16Speaker 1: I'm sure.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Is there a specific skill with him that that you
- 12:20Speaker 2: like and that you were intrigued by that you think
- 12:21Speaker 2: he has your offense?
- 12:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he saw it.
- 12:25Speaker 3: You know when the other running back there got got hurt,
- 12:29Speaker 3: that he could kind of do everything they were rotating
- 12:31Speaker 3: those guys and putting him in situations, certain situations, but
- 12:35Speaker 3: you got to see him do third nine, You got
- 12:36Speaker 3: some catch the football, got to see him in short
- 12:39Speaker 3: yardage and goal line, red zone. So you got that
- 12:43Speaker 3: whole package there, and he did it all and did
- 12:45Speaker 3: it well. So I thought that was important. We do
- 12:50Speaker 3: have Demarcato here, so we picked him up from Arizona,
- 12:55Speaker 3: drafted a kid out of the Brat.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I like that guy de Barcado can play.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Yeah, drafting kid out of out of Nebraska who we
- 13:02Speaker 3: think is pretty good. We've got Smitty coming back. It
- 13:05Speaker 3: was a rookie last year. So we've got a good,
- 13:07Speaker 3: good group of guys there that we feel pretty good about.
- 13:12Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking, I remember, I don't know
- 13:14Speaker 2: if it was my first or second year with you.
- 13:16Speaker 2: We had a Thursday night game in Seattle, and in
- 13:19Speaker 2: early on those Thursday night games, we're kind of it's
- 13:21Speaker 2: like the Eagle shouldn't be going to Seattle. It's kind
- 13:24Speaker 2: of crazy. But the Thursday night package now has become
- 13:26Speaker 2: a kind of like Monday night football.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Sure.
- 13:29Speaker 2: The international games are, you know, obviously a polarizing topic
- 13:33Speaker 2: right now, was it? I think two years ago you
- 13:35Speaker 2: guys went to Brazil last year.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Yeah, last year, last year.
- 13:39Speaker 2: So what was that fifteen plus hours in the air.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lot of hours. And you know,
- 13:47Speaker 3: we've traveled the world since we've been here. We've been
- 13:49Speaker 3: to Germany, We've been to London, we've been in Mexico,
- 13:52Speaker 3: been in Brazil. And our guys they love it having
- 13:58Speaker 3: an opportunity to go to these different places. And I
- 14:02Speaker 3: think Roger Cadell's doing a phenomenal job of making this
- 14:04Speaker 3: thing worldwide game.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But from a coach's standpoint, a.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Player standpoint, the reality of it is a long way
- 14:11Speaker 3: to go for an hour football. But you know, you
- 14:14Speaker 3: do it and the fans love it, which once you
- 14:19Speaker 3: get there and you kind of get settled, it's it's
- 14:21Speaker 3: kind of a neat experience.
- 14:22Speaker 2: The Brazil experience. You know, these guys are going to
- 14:25Speaker 2: Australia this year, which is a similar long flight. I'm
- 14:28Speaker 2: sure you start thinking about that thing how to work
- 14:30Speaker 2: training camp the end. But is that also a feel
- 14:33Speaker 2: thing during training camp of knowing you got to leave
- 14:35Speaker 2: way early. I mean it's pretty unknown, right, I Mean
- 14:38Speaker 2: that's one thing going to London. It's another thing, you know,
- 14:41Speaker 2: getting in a plane, because what's the London from Kansas City?
- 14:43Speaker 2: What's that seven eighty?
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, not too far.
- 14:46Speaker 2: That's basically double in the air. You know, injured players,
- 14:49Speaker 2: maybe you're less likely to take a guy cushion or something.
- 14:53Speaker 2: I mean, it is a massive impact on you and
- 14:55Speaker 2: how you run the schedule, right.
- 14:57Speaker 1: It is.
- 14:58Speaker 3: But it's feasible travel. They they make it as easy
- 15:00Speaker 3: as possible. Give you a nice big plane that you
- 15:02Speaker 3: can stretch out on. Players, get all the first class
- 15:06Speaker 3: seats and.
- 15:08Speaker 1: So you know it works out.
- 15:10Speaker 3: But it is you get Nick and Bruce coming back,
- 15:14Speaker 3: that's that can be a long flight for you if
- 15:17Speaker 3: you get injured and so, but it's workable. It's workable,
- 15:23Speaker 3: and I understand what the league's doing. The league's going
- 15:25Speaker 3: to continue to grow and people like it and so
- 15:30Speaker 3: they like the sport. So you know, you do it,
- 15:35Speaker 3: and you put yourself in the right mindset, you can
- 15:38Speaker 3: tang there, do anything.
- 15:39Speaker 1: But it can be challenging. Yeah for sure.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Well, I know we got to wrap here. So I
- 15:46Speaker 2: do have to ask you the Miles Garrett trade. Where
- 15:48Speaker 2: were you when that thing went down? I set them
- 15:50Speaker 2: on your schedule here Coach twelve thirteen after you play
- 15:53Speaker 2: the Bills the previous week, so a nice little stretch there.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:57Speaker 3: I was actually watching the Rams because we play them,
- 15:59Speaker 3: and I was going and, man, we're gonna get after
- 16:01Speaker 3: these guys.
- 16:02Speaker 1: They did that. No, I'm joking.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Now that Listen, birth wasn't bad either. I'm gonna just
- 16:09Speaker 3: tell you he's a pretty good player too. But they
- 16:11Speaker 3: went out and did a did a nice job of
- 16:13Speaker 3: picking uh, you know, picking him up. Garrett's a good
- 16:17Speaker 3: football player, and you know, they picked up McDuffie our corner,
- 16:21Speaker 3: and so they're they're putting a push on things. And
- 16:24Speaker 3: I was joking McVeigh at the owner meetings about it.
- 16:27Speaker 3: He's doing a heck of a job, and uh, they're
- 16:31Speaker 3: you know, they're they're putting putting it all in there
- 16:34Speaker 3: and and.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Going for it. So uh but.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Listen, he does a great job of coaching. GM does
- 16:41Speaker 3: a heck of a job bringing players in. Their owner
- 16:44Speaker 3: is top notch. He was our top donor when I
- 16:47Speaker 3: was coaching at the University of Missouri, so I have
- 16:50Speaker 3: known him for a little bit and he just does
- 16:53Speaker 3: a you know, he does a great job there too.
- 16:55Speaker 3: So they feel like they're close and so they're they're
- 17:01Speaker 3: doing these things and you know, good for them, as.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Your wedding invitation coming the mail.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Yet I can't talk about it.
- 17:12Speaker 2: No, you gotta stay quiet. You get it's like Mansar delaying,
- 17:15Speaker 2: you know, loose links, loose lips, shink ships.
- 17:17Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Okay, coach, good luck the rest of the off season.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Enjoy the summer and maybe I'll get out there for
- 17:24Speaker 2: training camp and check you guys out. So all right,
- 17:26Speaker 2: good seeing you good.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I'll treat you a little barbecue.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Oh I love it.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Take it easy, yep.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsored
- 17:42Speaker 2: hard Rock Bet Florida Sportsbook. We talk a lot of
- 17:44Speaker 2: football on the show, but it's the NBA Finals. Not
- 17:48Speaker 2: gonna lie. I don't like the Knicks. I love the Knicks.
- 17:51Speaker 2: I got in on them probably ten days ago at
- 17:53Speaker 2: four to one. Now they're here. They are currently on
- 17:57Speaker 2: hard Rock Bet plus one sixty two win the NBA Finals.
- 18:01Speaker 2: They are also an underdog in Game one in San
- 18:03Speaker 2: Antonio on Wednesday night. There four and a half point underdog.
- 18:08Speaker 2: You know, Victor Webman Yama's favored to win the MVP.
- 18:11Speaker 2: San Antonio's favored to win this series. I believe it's
- 18:14Speaker 2: the next time, and obviously, if you're gonna bet him
- 18:16Speaker 2: to win the series, it's hard to bet against Jalen
- 18:19Speaker 2: Brunson being the MVP. We have had some recent examples though,
- 18:23Speaker 2: a couple of years ago Jalen Brown. I remember when
- 18:25Speaker 2: Andrea Guidala won it. I think if you go, well,
- 18:28Speaker 2: who could win the MVP if it wasn't Jalen Brown.
- 18:31Speaker 2: If you are Jalen Brunson. If you wanted to get
- 18:33Speaker 2: some odds, you know Karl Anthony Towns twenty to one,
- 18:36Speaker 2: OG's forty to one. Bridges is one hundred and fifty
- 18:40Speaker 2: to one, So I think the safe bet is Brunson,
- 18:44Speaker 2: but they got a lot of firepower defensively to throw
- 18:47Speaker 2: at him. I can't wait for this series again. I'm
- 18:50Speaker 2: on the Knicks. I think the Knicks win it. I
- 18:52Speaker 2: think it's gonna be excellent. But I think this is
- 18:55Speaker 2: New York's time, So same game parlays. You want to
- 18:58Speaker 2: bet vic wenbin Yama triple double Karl Anthony Towns, you know,
- 19:03Speaker 2: double double with Jalen Brunson's over on points, you can
- 19:06Speaker 2: do whatever you want to do. I think Jalen Brunston
- 19:10Speaker 2: goes nuts and Victor goes no. I think it's gonna
- 19:13Speaker 2: be fantastic. So try your first better on hard Rock
- 19:16Speaker 2: Bet today and you can score one hundred and fifteen
- 19:17Speaker 2: bonus bets. If you win, just place five dollars, and
- 19:20Speaker 2: if it hits, you get not only your winnings but
- 19:22Speaker 2: also an extra hundred and fifteen bonus bets. And sure,
- 19:24Speaker 2: hard Rock is Florida's only sportsbook, but you don't have
- 19:27Speaker 2: to be in Florida. It's join the party. It's all
- 19:29Speaker 2: over the place, Arizona, Ohio, Jersey, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Down the Hardrock Bet app today, Let's get the party started.
- 19:44Speaker 2: You know what's pretty crazy is you know, it's pretty
- 19:47Speaker 2: well documented Patrick Mahomes and his ability to already get
- 19:52Speaker 2: on the field. Beach talked about this like two months
- 19:54Speaker 2: ago that he was hoping to be ready for training camp. Uh,
- 19:58Speaker 2: definitely week one. You can tell Andy's is definitely not
- 20:02Speaker 2: forcing that, and he's smart to do that, but he's
- 20:06Speaker 2: already repping in these practices. You got every time the
- 20:10Speaker 2: Colts post something on social media, it's Daniel Jones slinging
- 20:16Speaker 2: the rock, and you have Micah Parsons where the report
- 20:21Speaker 2: today towards ACL is that he's not going to be
- 20:23Speaker 2: back till the middle of October potentially, and he said
- 20:26Speaker 2: the goal is to be ready to go for the playoffs,
- 20:29Speaker 2: you know, to finish the season strong. But it does
- 20:33Speaker 2: show you how much easier it is on these guys'
- 20:37Speaker 2: bodies to play the quarterback position than all these other positions.
- 20:41Speaker 2: And it gets back to something Tom Brady said years ago.
- 20:44Speaker 2: He said, on a good high school team, the unique
- 20:48Speaker 2: part about my position, I could not start at any
- 20:51Speaker 2: other position. Couldn't play D line, couldn't play wide receiver,
- 20:54Speaker 2: couldn't play O line, couldn't play tight, couldn't do anything
- 20:56Speaker 2: else on a high school level. And I think it
- 21:00Speaker 2: quarterback right. Once they get the stability and their achilles
- 21:03Speaker 2: in their knee, they're not gonna be exactly what they
- 21:06Speaker 2: were one hundred percent pre injury off the bat, but
- 21:10Speaker 2: it is a much easier runway to come back for
- 21:13Speaker 2: these quarterbacks. I mean, Daniel Jones broke his leg and
- 21:16Speaker 2: towards achilles, like ready week one. Patrick Mahomes like, give
- 21:20Speaker 2: me reps into OTAs. I mean, you tore your ACL
- 21:24Speaker 2: with a couple of games to go in the season.
- 21:26Speaker 2: It's not like Patrick Mahomes I mentioned this to Andy Peyton.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Manning missed the entire season. Tom Brady tore his ACL
- 21:33Speaker 2: Week one. Remember Aaron Rodgers towards Achilles five or six
- 21:36Speaker 2: plays into the season. Was he was banging the drum,
- 21:39Speaker 2: drinking the dolphin blood or whatever if his team was
- 21:42Speaker 2: still alive to come back in December yet at defensive
- 21:46Speaker 2: line or pass rusher, outside linebacker, whatever you want to
- 21:49Speaker 2: consider Micah Parsons, you know, think about the difference in
- 21:53Speaker 2: terms of explosion, holding up blocks against double teams, empowering
- 22:01Speaker 2: guards as you're on stunts and twists. There's just so
- 22:05Speaker 2: much more required in terms of the force on that
- 22:10Speaker 2: body part than there is on the quarterbacks. You know,
- 22:13Speaker 2: it's pretty crazy now. And in fairness to the Packers
- 22:16Speaker 2: who trade multiple first round picks, they give a guy
- 22:19Speaker 2: almost one hundred and fifty million dollars or whatever, and
- 22:23Speaker 2: rightfully so, I think he got one hundred and forty
- 22:25Speaker 2: four guaranteed. I mean, it's the biggest contract they've ever
- 22:28Speaker 2: signed non quarterback by a country mile. You're definitely not
- 22:32Speaker 2: gonna force it. You know that the Colts don't have
- 22:35Speaker 2: a choice. And I think one thing Patrick Mahomes has proven.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Remember he dislocated his knee, missed a week and it
- 22:41Speaker 2: was like back. Remember the playoff game, He like shook
- 22:43Speaker 2: it off, missed a halfer, was back the next week.
- 22:46Speaker 2: He just has certain people. And this goes back to
- 22:49Speaker 2: Adrian Peterson, who's like an all time outlier freak. Is
- 22:53Speaker 2: some people just react faster. Hell I pull a back muscle.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Now I'm feeling it for a month. That's over forty.
- 23:01Speaker 2: You have a little tweak, I add something going on
- 23:03Speaker 2: on my shoulder. I'm like, I pray this isn't a
- 23:05Speaker 2: torn labram, you know, But I just keep powering through
- 23:08Speaker 2: it at the gym and just we'll see where the
- 23:11Speaker 2: cookie crumbles on that one. But some of these guys,
- 23:14Speaker 2: they come back really really fast. And again, I just
- 23:19Speaker 2: think it's a little bit easier on your extremities, especially
- 23:22Speaker 2: your like non throwing shoulder at the quarterback position than
- 23:26Speaker 2: it is all these other positions, especially offensive and defensive line,
- 23:30Speaker 2: where everything is not only explosive movements but holding up
- 23:35Speaker 2: against powerful other human beings. So I think the Micah
- 23:38Speaker 2: Parsons thing is less like an abundance of caution and
- 23:42Speaker 2: more just predicated on what he has to do at
- 23:46Speaker 2: his position. You know. The other thing I saw is
- 23:49Speaker 2: Maria Taylor. Remember Jimmy Butler when he had that thing
- 23:53Speaker 2: in Minnesota where he wanted more money, they wouldn't pay him.
- 23:56Speaker 2: And he showed up in like a training camp practice
- 23:59Speaker 2: and he got all the backups and he said scrimmage
- 24:02Speaker 2: against all the starters and he just dominated it. And
- 24:05Speaker 2: then he like walked out of practice, said f you
- 24:08Speaker 2: to everybody, pay me my money, and was on with
- 24:11Speaker 2: Rachel Nichols later that night. Just an incredible Jimmy Butler
- 24:15Speaker 2: moment during his career. Clearly Maria Taylor like she had
- 24:21Speaker 2: the insight on this one. And AJ Brown, she talked
- 24:23Speaker 2: to him on her podcast and he had mentioned something
- 24:27Speaker 2: to me that really resonated, cause I think a lot
- 24:29Speaker 2: of people are like you guys, you guys hate each other,
- 24:32Speaker 2: is just because you hate the offense. I've been told
- 24:35Speaker 2: it's been well reported, like people like AJ Brown and
- 24:37Speaker 2: Philly is like what's going on? And he was asking
- 24:40Speaker 2: about Jalen Hurts, who they used to be really close.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Part of the reason when the Eagles traded for him
- 24:46Speaker 2: picked seventeen. It's not like they gave up nothing. And
- 24:49Speaker 2: it was like, well, he's ben buddies with Jalen Hurts
- 24:52Speaker 2: for a long time, like they have a personal relationship.
- 24:55Speaker 2: And then aj said something that I think we can
- 24:58Speaker 2: all relate to. Grew apart. Now you can argue that's
- 25:02Speaker 2: the political answer. It's not like he's given us all
- 25:04Speaker 2: the tea on that one, but it's like, yeah, sometimes
- 25:08Speaker 2: people just grow apart. The amount of people listening to
- 25:11Speaker 2: this that have left a job because they didn't see
- 25:16Speaker 2: eyed eye with a superior, they didn't see eyed eye
- 25:19Speaker 2: with people they were working, you know, hand in hand with.
- 25:23Speaker 2: He was like, I'm not feeling this, and you try
- 25:25Speaker 2: to battle through, especially if things are going well financially,
- 25:28Speaker 2: like I'm making money, but this sucks. This is not
- 25:31Speaker 2: what I signed up for. And luckily for all of us,
- 25:35Speaker 2: we can leave whenever we want. That is not the
- 25:38Speaker 2: case for players or coaches. Sometimes you could get stuck.
- 25:43Speaker 2: The I just saw the clip that went viral about
- 25:46Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz who wanted the Cleveland Browns job, who thought
- 25:50Speaker 2: he had deserved and earned the Cleveland Browns job, and
- 25:53Speaker 2: you could argue like it wouldn't have been a crazy decision,
- 25:56Speaker 2: and they ended up going with the offensive guy in Munkin,
- 25:58Speaker 2: but they wanted Schwartz to stay. And he's like, guys, listen,
- 26:02Speaker 2: this isn't about I don't respect Todd Munkin, but I
- 26:05Speaker 2: wanted this gig. I didn't get it. It's pretty well known,
- 26:09Speaker 2: like all the players know that. And now I'm answering
- 26:11Speaker 2: to him like this is not gonna work. And remember
- 26:13Speaker 2: the Browns tried to mess with him for a little bit,
- 26:15Speaker 2: like we're gonna hold you under contracts. Fine, I'll just
- 26:17Speaker 2: fucking resign. I'm sitting out and I think when you know,
- 26:21Speaker 2: you know right, and aj Brown he didn't handle it perfectly.
- 26:25Speaker 2: You know, while it's funny, you know that he was
- 26:28Speaker 2: reading the book on the sideline, that's not ideal. And
- 26:32Speaker 2: where did he kind of force his way to And
- 26:35Speaker 2: luckily they were willing to play ball with Howie and
- 26:38Speaker 2: give him enough where it's like, yeah, we'll just do this.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Deal.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Is the guy that he knows really well, and a
- 26:43Speaker 2: guy that he had a lot of uh success with
- 26:45Speaker 2: and a really good working relationship with, and a guy
- 26:48Speaker 2: that he clearly didn't want to leave. But financially, I'm
- 26:51Speaker 2: not sure all the dirt behind that trade. We've never
- 26:55Speaker 2: truly found, Like it was just the owner didn't want
- 26:59Speaker 2: to pay him a new content track to John Robinson
- 27:01Speaker 2: want out. But bottom line is he was traded and
- 27:04Speaker 2: it worked out really well for aj Brown. But when
- 27:09Speaker 2: you're not seeing eye to eye with the quarterback, it's
- 27:11Speaker 2: especially at a position like wide receiver, and most of
- 27:15Speaker 2: these wide receivers, let's just be honest, don't handle it
- 27:18Speaker 2: that well like quarterbacks. And you gotta give Jalen credit,
- 27:23Speaker 2: not necessarily on the field because it started getting weird,
- 27:26Speaker 2: but off the field, like he keeps it very professional.
- 27:30Speaker 2: He never really lets you in. He kind of keeps this, uh,
- 27:34Speaker 2: this outer exterior of like I'm not gonna give you
- 27:37Speaker 2: any of what's actually going on. Brandon Graham kind of did,
- 27:41Speaker 2: and then Howie and the boys made him walk that
- 27:43Speaker 2: thing back, but he's like, yeah, we just we don't
- 27:45Speaker 2: see eyed eye. What he's essentially saying is I don't
- 27:49Speaker 2: want to work with him anymore. I don't want to
- 27:51Speaker 2: play with him. And even he said to Maria Taylor,
- 27:53Speaker 2: like I still got love for the guy. It's not
- 27:55Speaker 2: like I hate his guts. I'm sure a lot of
- 27:57Speaker 2: you have left places where it's like, listen, I kind
- 27:59Speaker 2: of like this guy. I just don't want to work
- 28:01Speaker 2: with him anymore. And as a player, like you get
- 28:04Speaker 2: lucky when you can quote unquote force your way out.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Part of the reason they waited, you know, to June
- 28:09Speaker 2: one because of the cap situation. I mean, the Eagles
- 28:12Speaker 2: didn't foresee this happening a couple of years ago. They
- 28:14Speaker 2: just gave the guy contract extension. The Eagles have paid
- 28:17Speaker 2: this man twice. They paid him. They gave him the
- 28:20Speaker 2: contract when they traded for him, and then they gave
- 28:22Speaker 2: him the contract a couple of years later after he
- 28:24Speaker 2: had dominated. So I think in their mind he was
- 28:26Speaker 2: like he was gonna be their number one wide receiver
- 28:28Speaker 2: for a long time. And then personalities happen, and let's
- 28:32Speaker 2: face it, people change, right. Look at Jalen Hurts came
- 28:36Speaker 2: into this league as a second round pick that people
- 28:39Speaker 2: like me that watch every Oklahoma game, like, I don't
- 28:42Speaker 2: see this. I thought it was a crazy trade. A
- 28:45Speaker 2: couple of years later, the good starting quarterback. Then he's
- 28:48Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl, playing as well or better than Mahomes.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Then a couple of years later with the Super Bowl,
- 28:54Speaker 2: It's like his resume speaks for itself. And it usually
- 28:58Speaker 2: gets down to in sports, who makes the most money.
- 29:02Speaker 2: It's typically why when coaches and star players are at odds,
- 29:06Speaker 2: who usually loses that argument the coach, because just look
- 29:11Speaker 2: at the finances. It's easier to fire the coach then
- 29:15Speaker 2: fire the player. And a lot of times you don't
- 29:17Speaker 2: want to fire the player. You want that player on
- 29:19Speaker 2: your team, and it's on your coach to figure it out.
- 29:21Speaker 2: But sometimes as personalities, as human beings, you're just not
- 29:24Speaker 2: gonna get along. And after a while, sometimes you go
- 29:27Speaker 2: through some rough times and you realize, like, this is
- 29:30Speaker 2: not the person that I want to be around during adversity,
- 29:33Speaker 2: because let's face it, you can get along with basically
- 29:37Speaker 2: anyone when times are going well, especially for us in
- 29:41Speaker 2: the real you know, non pro sports, if you are
- 29:44Speaker 2: making money, you'd be like, listen, this guy's kind of
- 29:46Speaker 2: a scumbag. I would never want to hang out with him,
- 29:49Speaker 2: but he's good at his gig and we're crushing, so
- 29:52Speaker 2: I'm gonna ride this way. If things start going poorly,
- 29:56Speaker 2: and it's like the direct deposits ain't coming in you're like,
- 29:58Speaker 2: fuck this, I'm and we've seen this song and dance
- 30:03Speaker 2: in football and basketball and baseball in life forever, and
- 30:08Speaker 2: A J. Brown ate the first and he definitely won't
- 30:10Speaker 2: be the last guy to be like I don't want
- 30:12Speaker 2: to work with this human being anymore. And this clearly
- 30:15Speaker 2: puts pressure, you know, on the Eagles. I saw Orlowski
- 30:18Speaker 2: say this puts a ton of pressure on Lemon, who
- 30:21Speaker 2: they just drafted high, who has somewhat of a similar
- 30:24Speaker 2: skills seat set in terms of like breaking tackles, being
- 30:28Speaker 2: physical at the point of you know, at the catch point,
- 30:32Speaker 2: and being a guy that could just make stuff happen.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Remember we talked to Greg Cosell at the combine. He's like,
- 30:39Speaker 2: he gets hesitant with those type players. I won't dispute
- 30:42Speaker 2: that Makay Lemon was a really good college player, but
- 30:46Speaker 2: you know, replacing AJ Brown, that's the thing. Like Jared Verse,
- 30:50Speaker 2: he was asked about it today, He's like, I can't
- 30:53Speaker 2: replace Miles. I'm not coming here to replace Miles Kartt
- 30:56Speaker 2: And luckily he doesn't have to. Like, no one thinks
- 30:59Speaker 2: Jared Verse is my Garrett, but Miles Garrett, who knows
- 31:02Speaker 2: could have like forty sacks this year, Like, what if
- 31:05Speaker 2: he's in thirteen games where they have the lead in
- 31:07Speaker 2: the second half. I mean, you talk about the guy
- 31:10Speaker 2: at twenty five sacks and he had like a historically
- 31:13Speaker 2: poor offense. What's he gonna look like if their offense
- 31:16Speaker 2: does what has done the last couple of years. I mean,
- 31:19Speaker 2: it could be insane. But if Jared Verse can go
- 31:22Speaker 2: from four and a half to seven and a half
- 31:23Speaker 2: to like thirteen and be a top five pressure guy
- 31:27Speaker 2: and to be just this young ascending player, they're gonna
- 31:30Speaker 2: feel really good about it. And you know they're gonna
- 31:32Speaker 2: need a little bit by committee to get the dominance
- 31:36Speaker 2: unlessen Aj wasn't dominant last year. And that's the thing
- 31:39Speaker 2: with these transactions, like the Patriots, you know, are they
- 31:43Speaker 2: getting one hundred catches in fifteen hundred yards? Probably not,
- 31:46Speaker 2: But if they can get seventy eight to eighty two
- 31:48Speaker 2: and have him dominate in man coverage, which is something
- 31:51Speaker 2: that he excels in because he's a physical freak. He's
- 31:55Speaker 2: got just the ability to catch balls in contested areas,
- 31:58Speaker 2: which is a finding skill for a lot of players.
- 32:02Speaker 2: You know, Drake London just got a one hundred million
- 32:04Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed, big physical wide receiver. Now, Drake's a little
- 32:09Speaker 2: different than AJ Brown, but and it's a good example
- 32:12Speaker 2: of Drake London. Like a lot of players think about this.
- 32:15Speaker 2: He just got this big contract. It's a brand new
- 32:17Speaker 2: GM and a brand new coach. Now, a good front office,
- 32:21Speaker 2: a good coach. Even if you come in brand new,
- 32:23Speaker 2: you want to keep your new players. But they haven't
- 32:26Speaker 2: been there that long and they're already like all in
- 32:29Speaker 2: on this guy. Pretty good sign, you know, pretty good
- 32:31Speaker 2: sign coming off a year. He's a little banged up,
- 32:33Speaker 2: but two years ago he was excellent. I mean, he
- 32:35Speaker 2: was good when he was on the field. But you
- 32:38Speaker 2: gotta feel good when new people come in and they
- 32:41Speaker 2: believe in you and they pay you. It's like the
- 32:43Speaker 2: thing with Verse, Like at the end of the day,
- 32:46Speaker 2: you were the guy that they had to have to
- 32:48Speaker 2: trade the best player in the history of the franchise
- 32:51Speaker 2: beside Jim Brown. They wanted you. Like, that's always gotta
- 32:55Speaker 2: be a you know, an area in turn that is
- 33:01Speaker 2: a confidence booster. No matter how mad you are when
- 33:04Speaker 2: something bad happens, when someone believes in you, that's a
- 33:07Speaker 2: powerful thing. So and then you can use the version
- 33:11Speaker 2: of being pissed off by like they got rid of me,
- 33:14Speaker 2: even if you understand it like I would have got
- 33:16Speaker 2: rid of me too. For Miles Garrett, which I don't
- 33:18Speaker 2: expect him to quite be able to comprehend it in
- 33:21Speaker 2: his mid twenties, but he might look back in fifteen
- 33:23Speaker 2: twenty years and go like it was actually a pretty
- 33:26Speaker 2: big compliment, you know, because it should be. It is,
- 33:29Speaker 2: And like it's not shocking that Mike Vrabel likes aj Brown.
- 33:34Speaker 2: He's already been around him. They need a wide receiver
- 33:37Speaker 2: that can win and man and man coverage that they
- 33:40Speaker 2: need some positive headlines. I mean, they got a lot
- 33:43Speaker 2: of things going for him, right, but like not everyone
- 33:46Speaker 2: would have been like Jared Versu is gonna be our
- 33:50Speaker 2: cornerstone defensive lineman. Now maybe some people would have, but
- 33:53Speaker 2: the Browns definitely did that the the uh the Atlanta Falcon.
- 34:00Speaker 2: But they did that with Drake Lindon. He's a cornerstone
- 34:02Speaker 2: piece for us to go with b John Robinson like that.
- 34:06Speaker 2: That is, they believe they're all in and then the
- 34:08Speaker 2: money speaks for itself. He's gave him a hundred million dollars.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Nick Herbick, the pass rusher in Pittsburgh not even a starter.
- 34:16Speaker 2: I mean TJ. Watt is a guy that they've given
- 34:18Speaker 2: a ton of money to high Smith, who he now
- 34:20Speaker 2: makes more than It's like guys brand new coach, brand
- 34:24Speaker 2: new staff. Obviously the GM is still there and he
- 34:27Speaker 2: drafted him, but they just gave him four years, one
- 34:29Speaker 2: hundred million dollars and I think like forty five million
- 34:32Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed. Like that's believing, and just if you just
- 34:35Speaker 2: look at the tea leaves, you're like, hey, the other
- 34:38Speaker 2: guys might not be here forever. Who knows, maybe high
- 34:40Speaker 2: Smith gets traded. I've always liked him. I know he's
- 34:43Speaker 2: battled some injuries too, but they got a lot of
- 34:45Speaker 2: good pass rushers, and you could never go wrong extending
- 34:49Speaker 2: pass rushers and having a h you know, kind of
- 34:52Speaker 2: having a line of guys that if someone goes down,
- 34:56Speaker 2: the next guy can fire in there. And we've seen
- 34:57Speaker 2: that with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Those guys have gotten injured.
- 35:00Speaker 2: So sometimes you you know, a guy like that who
- 35:03Speaker 2: gets a four year, hundred million dollar contract, what what
- 35:06Speaker 2: round was he drafted in? Because one of the knocks
- 35:08Speaker 2: on him was he was a little undersized. You know,
- 35:12Speaker 2: he's like your classic six' four two forty not the greatest.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Athlete back When wisconsin used to get guys. Draft he's
- 35:20Speaker 2: a fourth round. Pick like that is THE nfl pick
- 35:24Speaker 2: one thirty, two one hundred million dollar, contract forty two million.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Dollars and let's face, it if he just keeps having,
- 35:30Speaker 2: success he's gonna see more than the guaranteed. Money like
- 35:33Speaker 2: that is on a year per basis. Deal that's that's
- 35:38Speaker 2: a good. Contract and they're kind of betting on the.
- 35:41Speaker 2: FUTURE i, mean this is a guy with fifteen career. Sacks,
- 35:45Speaker 2: now if they think the guy can become you, know
- 35:48Speaker 2: a single high single digit maybe a ten sac guy
- 35:51Speaker 2: year in year, out that's a. Steal but there's a,
- 35:55Speaker 2: reason and this is what we talk about. Marketplaces it's,
- 35:57Speaker 2: like how does a guy get a hundred million dollars
- 35:59Speaker 2: who was An All big ten player his senior year
- 36:03Speaker 2: get go in the fourth. Round it's, like, well not
- 36:08Speaker 2: the greatest, athlete, uh not that. LONG i mean his
- 36:12Speaker 2: arms were thirty one, inches you, know six two two,
- 36:14Speaker 2: Forty so it's, like what's his body? Type BUT i
- 36:17Speaker 2: remember WHEN. Tj watt was like in the peak of
- 36:19Speaker 2: his powers texting a. Buddy, uh you know that's a
- 36:23Speaker 2: that's an ASSISTANT. Gm now being, like how did this
- 36:26Speaker 2: guy fall to the end of the first, Round he's, Like,
- 36:28Speaker 2: john he did not look like that in. College, like
- 36:31Speaker 2: that's that's not what this version of the player. Was
- 36:35Speaker 2: and you, KNOW i think he was a position switch
- 36:37Speaker 2: like his. Brother. Uh but you, know some guys just
- 36:41Speaker 2: blossom a little. Later some guys Like Drake london top
- 36:44Speaker 2: ten pick good right, away you give him a hundred
- 36:47Speaker 2: million dollars. Guaranteed so some sometimes you just had you,
- 36:50Speaker 2: KNOW Aj brown's second round pick pretty, clear pretty fast
- 36:52Speaker 2: in THE. Nfl this guy's. Sweet and then there are
- 36:55Speaker 2: other guys that are like kind of weird body types
- 36:57Speaker 2: to take super. High so they go in like somewhere
- 37:00Speaker 2: between pick one hundred and one hundred and seventy, five
- 37:03Speaker 2: and if they get on the right, team if they
- 37:05Speaker 2: get in the right, scheme they can maximize their. Self
- 37:08Speaker 2: and obviously he did because he just got a lot of.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Money other than, that let's bring out a couple of
- 37:27Speaker 2: mailbag questions and then we'll get ourselves out of here on.
- 37:31Speaker 2: This i'm actually recording this on A. Wednesday my question
- 37:35Speaker 2: relates to working in THE nfl and college degrees if
- 37:38Speaker 2: you wanted to be a, scout is a college degree
- 37:41Speaker 2: usually required or is it more about working your way
- 37:44Speaker 2: up the ladder to get experience and having relationships with.
- 37:47Speaker 2: People it seems like coaching is more about having work
- 37:50Speaker 2: experience and football. Knowledge no one talks about or cares
- 37:53Speaker 2: if coaches have accredited. Degrees expect to Accept stefanski true throughout.
- 38:00Speaker 2: FOOTBALL i know in college, football to coach at a,
- 38:08Speaker 2: university you have to have a. Degree so sometimes some
- 38:11Speaker 2: of these guys that played college but they left early
- 38:16Speaker 2: to go to the, pros SOMETIMES i have to go
- 38:18Speaker 2: to school go back to school to get their degree
- 38:20Speaker 2: to become an assistant, coach a. Coordinator so every player
- 38:25Speaker 2: that is now a head, Coach Kirby, Smart lanekiff and
- 38:28Speaker 2: all these, guys they have degrees from wherever they ryan,
- 38:31Speaker 2: day wherever they went to school and played in THE.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Nfl it definitely does not. Matter like you can get
- 38:40Speaker 2: hired as a quality control guy without a. Degree you,
- 38:43Speaker 2: KNOW i could have got hired In philly without a.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Degree NOW i wouldn't have been able to get the
- 38:49Speaker 2: job IF i hadn't been WHERE i was At and
- 38:52Speaker 2: the only REASON i had that job At Fresno state
- 38:55Speaker 2: is BECAUSE i had an undergraduate. DEGREE i technically went
- 38:58Speaker 2: to grad school WHEN i was At Fresnel. State it
- 39:02Speaker 2: was like a new. Program it was like sports, management
- 39:05Speaker 2: and it was so. DUMB i, MEAN i have a graduate.
- 39:08Speaker 2: DEGREE i think it was in. There it wasn't in
- 39:12Speaker 2: the business. School it might have been in the nutrition
- 39:14Speaker 2: school or. Whatever BUT i technically went to class every
- 39:17Speaker 2: once in a while WHEN i was working At Fresnel.
- 39:20Speaker 2: State but, YEAH i MEAN I i think college is
- 39:25Speaker 2: a lot, different at least as of, now and that
- 39:28Speaker 2: could definitely change as college landscape. Changes but in THE,
- 39:33Speaker 2: NFL i do you can do whatever you. Want listening
- 39:38Speaker 2: to today's, pod in the finance, world we say no
- 39:42Speaker 2: just means not right. Now that's that's that's a good,
- 39:45Speaker 2: line and that's what less. NEED i saw him making
- 39:48Speaker 2: the rounds today essentially what he, said we heard, no
- 39:51Speaker 2: we heard. No we've been here and no for. Years
- 39:54Speaker 2: and the one THING i want to say About Andrew,
- 39:59Speaker 2: berry WHO i do come think is. Genuine when they
- 40:02Speaker 2: changed his contract to go from like guaranteeing this year's
- 40:06Speaker 2: salary in free agency or the end Of march to
- 40:11Speaker 2: the start of the of the. SEASON i think It's
- 40:14Speaker 2: september first or the first game or. Whatever kind of
- 40:18Speaker 2: know what you're, doing you. Know so maybe they were
- 40:21Speaker 2: more open to it going back to the combine knowing
- 40:24Speaker 2: they would have big, offers or just giving them the
- 40:27Speaker 2: flexibility to. Listen, yeah But let's need is a relentless,
- 40:33Speaker 2: salesman you, know and he he just lands. Deals question
- 40:38Speaker 2: for the, pod do you think Arch manning is gonna
- 40:40Speaker 2: live up to the Hype everybody automatically has him going
- 40:42Speaker 2: number one? OVERALL i just don't see. It and like
- 40:45Speaker 2: you said on a previous, pod nobody Had burrow Or.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Mendoza he has the opportunity to be the number one.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Pick when you look At texas', schedule it's. Fantastic it's
- 40:56Speaker 2: the reason WHERE i, MEAN i appreciate The Texas Tech
- 41:02Speaker 2: Red raiders trying to talk a, little you know, What
- 41:06Speaker 2: but If I'm, texas let me see IF i can
- 41:12Speaker 2: find The Texas longhorn. Schedule they do open up With Texas, State,
- 41:17Speaker 2: okay joke, game but then they Play Ohio. State so it's, Like,
- 41:20Speaker 2: Okay Texas, tech you want us to play, you we
- 41:23Speaker 2: Play Ohio state the following. WEEK i Guess i'm sorry
- 41:27Speaker 2: you Play Ohio state in your non. CONFERENCE i give
- 41:29Speaker 2: you a little grace on Playing Texas state AND. UTSA
- 41:35Speaker 2: i don't know if they still. Are they used to
- 41:38Speaker 2: be pretty, good sixth in The american last, year so
- 41:42Speaker 2: not great last. Year, yeah it looked like they were
- 41:46Speaker 2: down a little. Bit but when you look at their,
- 41:50Speaker 2: Schedule Ohio state at, HOME i, mean there's gonna be
- 41:54Speaker 2: twenty five million people watching that. Game what's the date
- 41:57Speaker 2: on that, Thing Ohio State september. Twelfth that is the
- 42:03Speaker 2: opening weekend of THE. Nfl so think about. This we
- 42:07Speaker 2: Have Seahawks Patriots, wednesday we Got Niners rams In, australia
- 42:12Speaker 2: and we Have Ohio State texas arch Manning saturday, night
- 42:17Speaker 2: and then we Have sunday And. Monday that is that
- 42:22Speaker 2: weekend's right up my. Alley for the first time ever
- 42:24Speaker 2: we've been we schedule a little family vacation with my
- 42:28Speaker 2: mother in, law my brother in, law his, wife their
- 42:32Speaker 2: daughter that week because football used to start the previous,
- 42:36Speaker 2: week but now there's kind of. Dead, it's you, know
- 42:38Speaker 2: a little bit going on college, football but there's NO.
- 42:40Speaker 2: Nfl it's kind of a nice little week for me
- 42:42Speaker 2: to catch a breather before we just go all in on.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Ball but then he goes At, tennessee which has had good, Defenses,
- 42:51Speaker 2: oklahoma who's gonna have one of the best defenses in the. Country,
- 42:55Speaker 2: florida WHO i would imagine is going to be way.
- 42:58Speaker 2: Better who will see Under Pee. Golding but they're pretty.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Good Mississippi, State, okay they, suck even though they Gave
- 43:06Speaker 2: texas a game last. Year At Missouri missouri. SOLID i
- 43:11Speaker 2: mean they're starting running back got shot so AT lsu
- 43:14Speaker 2: and At TEXAS a and M if he, balls it's
- 43:18Speaker 2: gonna be pretty. Evident i'm not gonna write him. Off
- 43:23Speaker 2: the opportunity is ahead of. Him but like you, said
- 43:27Speaker 2: with the analogy THAT i, Used Mendoza, burrow Even, baker
- 43:34Speaker 2: he had been a multi year started At oklahoma and been,
- 43:37Speaker 2: good no one envisioned him being the number one overall.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Pick Remember Chris mortenson rip tweeted out after that, draft
- 43:45Speaker 2: or you, know the year before that, draft The Baker
- 43:50Speaker 2: Sam darnold Lamar josh the number one pick the following
- 43:54Speaker 2: year is gonna Be Josh. Allen and Then josh's team
- 43:58Speaker 2: was terrible and he wasn't that good either that. Year
- 44:01Speaker 2: do you think The rams agreeing to give Up verse
- 44:04Speaker 2: because they Thought howie and The eagles might swoop in
- 44:08Speaker 2: to make an offer For. GARRETT i did see An
- 44:10Speaker 2: instagram rumor, that if you think about, it the only
- 44:15Speaker 2: trade how he could have made the same, trade he
- 44:18Speaker 2: would have been a twenty seven to, one a two of.
- 44:23Speaker 2: Three you, know the following years he just went out
- 44:27Speaker 2: of throw In Jalen. Carter AND i think if you're The,
- 44:29Speaker 2: browns can you Handle Jalen carter because he's a lot
- 44:34Speaker 2: for The eagles and they're. Good So Jalen carter is
- 44:38Speaker 2: a better player Than. Verse Like Jalen carter when he's,
- 44:41Speaker 2: on IS i don't, know top three defensive player in the.
- 44:45Speaker 2: League like When Jalen carter tries and is, on he
- 44:49Speaker 2: has every bit as dominant as anyone in the, league
- 44:51Speaker 2: not Name Miles. Garrett but like that had been a
- 44:54Speaker 2: pretty risky trade for The. BROWNS i think this is,
- 44:58Speaker 2: safer but that would have to be his offer because
- 45:01Speaker 2: that's the who, Else, like you're not gonna Take Jordan.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Davis they already Got Mason. Graham they don't really have
- 45:08Speaker 2: pass rushers and this gets back to the next, question same,
- 45:12Speaker 2: thing why don't The bills make any free agent runs to?
- 45:16Speaker 2: Win like La as A bills, FAN i watched our
- 45:19Speaker 2: defense fail over and over with the window to win
- 45:22Speaker 2: so small in the. League why don't programs bet big
- 45:25Speaker 2: when they have a good, hand no big name wide
- 45:28Speaker 2: receiver and losing out On miles that they could not
- 45:32Speaker 2: have traded For Miles garrett because it's they to do that.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Trade Andrew berry said it yesterday and we saw what you,
- 45:40Speaker 2: know the way it played. Out you had to include
- 45:43Speaker 2: a young player on a cost control contract at a premium.
- 45:47Speaker 2: Position The bills don't have that guy to give. Them
- 45:51Speaker 2: SO i think if you're A bills, fan you feel
- 45:53Speaker 2: better about The Miles garrett deal That like if it
- 45:58Speaker 2: had just been multiple, ones a, two and a, three
- 46:00Speaker 2: you would have been, like why didn't we just make that?
- 46:02Speaker 2: Trade why didn't we get? Involved but the first thing is,
- 46:07Speaker 2: like well We it's like we couldn't have bid on.
- 46:11Speaker 2: That we didn't have the. Money you can go knock
- 46:14Speaker 2: on a five million dollar, home but if you don't
- 46:17Speaker 2: have the, cash like you can tour it all you,
- 46:19Speaker 2: want check them all out On zillo who, Cares SO
- 46:22Speaker 2: i think you feel better about that they didn't give
- 46:24Speaker 2: up a second round pick FOR Dj. Moore could they
- 46:29Speaker 2: have been more aggressive in The Max crosby, Deal that
- 46:34Speaker 2: would be, one but you, know at the end of the,
- 46:36Speaker 2: day he bounced. Back you, know in terms of The
- 46:39Speaker 2: ravens kind of renigged on that two first round. Picks
- 46:43Speaker 2: but even if you would have offered two first round,
- 46:45Speaker 2: picks which maybe they did before The ravens backed, out
- 46:50Speaker 2: The ravens had a better offer because they had picked,
- 46:53Speaker 2: fourteen so you couldn't outbid them at the time the
- 46:57Speaker 2: bidding was going, on and then it's hard to get
- 47:00Speaker 2: back in the bidding Once max Says i'm. Back that
- 47:04Speaker 2: would be one to keep an eye, on THOUGH i
- 47:08Speaker 2: just don't know who the players, Are, LIKE i wouldn't
- 47:11Speaker 2: have traded my first round pick If i'm them For
- 47:13Speaker 2: Jalen waddle. McDuffie would The chiefs have done that deal for.
- 47:18Speaker 2: McDuffie but it's, like is McDuffie making a? Change to,
- 47:22Speaker 2: me it's someone in the front. Seven. YEAH i have
- 47:28Speaker 2: a hard time this offseason thinking you could have done.
- 47:31Speaker 2: More but this gets back To Les, snead like he
- 47:36Speaker 2: just makes stuff. Happen he just. Does and the other
- 47:40Speaker 2: THING i don't think we do a good enough job
- 47:42Speaker 2: of is like verse WAS i THINK i Heard sneez.
- 47:48Speaker 2: SAY i keep saying. SEVENTEEN i think it was a nineteenth.
- 47:51Speaker 2: PICK i swear it was a seventeenth. Pick but they
- 47:55Speaker 2: used him for multiple, years, right they got something out of,
- 47:59Speaker 2: Him like he was really a Defensive rookie of The
- 48:01Speaker 2: year last, year he was a pro. Bowler so they're
- 48:05Speaker 2: selling on them to Get Miles. Garrett but it's not
- 48:08Speaker 2: like they got nothing for, That like, that that pick
- 48:10Speaker 2: was extremely. Valuable you, know Aj, Brown his, value even
- 48:15Speaker 2: though it diminished a little bit this, year still held its.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Value a guy Like Miles garrett when're getting twenty five
- 48:21Speaker 2: sacks a, year if he was on the, market people
- 48:24Speaker 2: are gonna be bidding for, him, Right but sometimes older
- 48:27Speaker 2: players have been banged. Up how do you maintain your? Value?
- 48:31Speaker 2: Right it's a cryptocurrency right, now WHICH i own a
- 48:33Speaker 2: decent amount, of is. CRUMBLING i don't even. Check it's, like,
- 48:37Speaker 2: yeah hopefully it comes back up in like five. Years
- 48:39Speaker 2: i'm in, it no getting out. Now but certain things
- 48:44Speaker 2: just hold their value better than, others AND i think
- 48:47Speaker 2: sometimes the difference to the stock market is like next
- 48:50Speaker 2: week stock marketing get cut by fifteen percent out of
- 48:53Speaker 2: just it just could, happen. Right whereas a, player if
- 48:57Speaker 2: you're good, enough even if you get banged up like
- 49:00Speaker 2: X crosby by the end of the season he need knee.
- 49:03Speaker 2: Surgery yet up until The ravens kind of got cold
- 49:06Speaker 2: feet and signed someone, else they were willing to trade
- 49:09Speaker 2: two first round picks for that. Guy so when you
- 49:11Speaker 2: are so good as a, player your value maintains even
- 49:16Speaker 2: through rocky, times, right even through times that aren't. Perfect
- 49:22Speaker 2: but when you're a dominant player like it, doesn't your
- 49:25Speaker 2: value is just sky. High But i'd argue a lot
- 49:29Speaker 2: of good players that had a down, year their value
- 49:31Speaker 2: is still extremely. High you, Know it's Like Jalen wattle
- 49:35Speaker 2: played on a god awful team last, Year he's got
- 49:38Speaker 2: traded for a first round. Pick The chiefs were awful last.
- 49:41Speaker 2: Year McDuffie wasn't as good as he was the previous two,
- 49:44Speaker 2: years got traded for pick twenty. Nine so once you
- 49:48Speaker 2: establish your, value you know you can kind of maintain
- 49:51Speaker 2: it a little. BIT i do think the bills need
- 49:55Speaker 2: to be somewhat in the world of, like when can
- 49:58Speaker 2: we take a big swing the next big swing that
- 50:01Speaker 2: becomes available for whoever that may be that does it's
- 50:05Speaker 2: also gonna make. Sense they gotta be willing to step
- 50:08Speaker 2: up to the. Plate AND i would say The bears.
- 50:10Speaker 2: TOO i think The bears and The bills are two
- 50:12Speaker 2: teams that, like sometimes you gotta put you know what
- 50:16Speaker 2: on the table and just whip it out and be,
- 50:18Speaker 2: like we're going for. It let's see does it all the.
- 50:20Speaker 2: Time and he's had a lot of. Success that's why
- 50:23Speaker 2: he keeps going back to the WELL i. Think BUT
- 50:26Speaker 2: i said, YESTERDAY i don't have to agree with every
- 50:29Speaker 2: movie he's ever, made BUT i respect the hell out of.
- 50:31Speaker 2: THEM i really. Do their philosophical belief of nos. LIKE
- 50:39Speaker 2: i feel like no team in the league is more
- 50:41Speaker 2: unfazed with no's than. Them howie gets a lot of nose,
- 50:46Speaker 2: too and is. Relentless it's just his. Personality some people's.
- 50:48Speaker 2: Personality he's, Like, okay we'll just move, On we'll just
- 50:50Speaker 2: see the next. ONE a great, salesman a great. Closer
- 50:54Speaker 2: when they want, something they're gonna find a way to get. It,
- 50:56Speaker 2: now you're not gonna get. Everything you, want but they
- 51:01Speaker 2: finagled that. One and remember The Cleveland browns at the
- 51:04Speaker 2: league meeting throughout THE, nba like instead of just three
- 51:10Speaker 2: years to be able to trade five years worth of,
- 51:13Speaker 2: Picks AND i wonder if they, thought, like, hey we
- 51:17Speaker 2: might Trade. Miles what if we trade him to a
- 51:20Speaker 2: really good team and try to get someone's first in
- 51:23Speaker 2: like four YEARS nba, Style it's, Like, okay your first
- 51:27Speaker 2: next year not going to be as, Valuable like would
- 51:30Speaker 2: they have rather than the second and the third taken
- 51:33Speaker 2: The rams first in like twenty, thirty like who. KNOWS
- 51:36Speaker 2: i mcveigh's going to be, There stafford's going to be long.
- 51:38Speaker 2: Gone who fucking knows that that thing could get really.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Weird it's very possible that could just be a down
