real like bizarro travel situation where.

1:13

I. Left New York and went to El Rey

1:15

1:17

He went to isolate it was warmer and

1:19

1:21

Then I go to Austin and I really

1:23

1:25

of the whole awesome experience as far as

1:27

weather goes. Ah but we got we got

1:29

some decent weather yesterday it was it was

1:31

go outside walk around whether voter first time

1:33

in a minute. I. Spend far too

1:36

long since I've been to New York. Last time I

1:38

saw you as an ally. Obviously let's go to see

1:40

that are not Vegas so we site on the zebra

1:42

as at you. With we. Did we

1:44

did Good to see you again. It is

1:46

free agency to spill. I use this villa

1:48

yoda right? Israel I want you here for

1:50

an. Ad. At ya it i

1:52

israel was retards about Kirk Cousins right now.

1:54

They get like your card cause it's a

1:57

periods in brief burst them tax but i

1:59

can't really. Like. I

2:01

guess. He. He's better than what

2:03

they had. There's. No Question is

2:06

probably the best quarterback in their

2:08

division. I. Just don't know what that

2:10

means. Yeah. Okay, sell I've

2:12

gone through a journey with current pheasant

2:14

cousins. We've talked about this. I. Used.

2:18

To be very kurt skeptical.

2:21

And. Then I felt that softening.

2:23

Over. The last few years and

2:26

and I think I legitimately

2:28

believes. He has gotten better

2:30

as a quarterback. Or and it's

2:32

it's. just as it. Has

2:34

already know a guy we would do this

2:36

with. Josh L. Very different quarterback but my

2:38

point is people can change. Quarterbacks can get

2:40

better in a se dice other Jared Goff

2:42

this year as well. So right now as

2:44

you him. I you know is not

2:46

of that top tier but I think he is

2:48

firmly in that second tier. And for Atlanta I

2:50

really like this is I really don't know. What?

2:53

Else they could have done. I mean, just a

2:55

field trade was rumored to be in the offing

2:57

for a while or a possibility, but we're kind

2:59

of seeing what the league thinks that we could

3:02

talk about that, which is pretty remarkable. Ah, For

3:05

me, like. Given where they are.

3:07

Where. They're out of the roster. the coaches that

3:10

they brought in it just made a lot

3:12

of sense. It makes and Can has his

3:14

makes them interesting. I'll I'll is a big

3:16

fan of this and by away from I

3:18

wasn't one of those. fully guaranteed deals are

3:20

just tell interesting to. Fourth, Indices

3:22

and he to sure steaks a Kayla Tesla

3:24

like they they are. There are some moments

3:27

in Pay like it to the law thousand

3:29

be the Lego a Jazz out of boredom

3:31

balls at and square bodies that one game

3:33

remembered as life you can do they will

3:35

be robbed as like it would be even

3:37

that long ago that was for them to

3:40

see that a who is sure to stay

3:42

with you know Southerners interesting about Kirk Cousins

3:44

indices change ego if I make the the

3:46

break down to broadest aging but. There.

3:48

Aren't that many guys in the league

3:51

play quarterback who are in their mid

3:53

thirties, right leg, or that home. Last

3:55

generation of quarterback basically mid thirties is

3:58

like Matt Stafford, Geno Smith. A

4:00

girl cousins. I can't think of anybody else

4:02

that like be seen as all but that

4:04

makes him like a elder Statesmen right? Like

4:06

he's coming in. there is the steely wise

4:09

veteran. He's also company their off at Achilles

4:11

Tear and I feel like we be forgiven.

4:13

Stuff like that like I know he's not

4:15

go beyond your run it as a quarterback

4:17

but you still gotta you know like wall.

4:20

Yeah, I think that's what I'm in recent years

4:22

to see. From the jump is whether his pocket

4:25

management as a sect is.is one of the things

4:27

I actually do think he has gotten better at.

4:29

I mean in Minnesota, you really saw that. And.

4:33

I think it'll be fine with the

4:35

Achilles, although you know we don't There's

4:38

is not that much precedent for it.

4:40

We. Didn't get to, you know? obviously we'll see what

4:42

Aaron Rodgers looks like. Telling back his game is

4:44

very. Different from cousins in terms of not

4:46

for many things to the way he uses

4:49

his mobility, but. You. Know

4:51

it. it does feel little the galaxy

4:53

brain to say he doesn't bother me

4:55

as much because mobility. Is in part

4:57

of Kurtz The Game. But it is kind

4:59

of true. He is going there to win from

5:01

the pot is it is a pretty good offensive

5:03

line. Weapons. Are really good. I

5:06

think. He. He

5:08

does. You're probably right, like we are looking

5:10

overlooking that given his age. In the injury

5:13

a little. Bit but. Ah,

5:15

now on and. I would

5:17

be more worried is it was like Russell

5:19

Wilson where are you so dependent on him

5:22

running around and making plays and we seen

5:24

as his mobility has declined the assess the

5:26

that has on his tone a performance. I

5:28

just don't have that same concern for Cousins.

5:30

One. A big i will say for card is.

5:33

When. There were more skeptics early in his

5:35

career at honestly, I don't think what we thought

5:37

of Kirk is really saying that much. He has

5:40

gotten better. But the thing that we just about

5:42

all agree upon when it comes to him is.

5:44

He. Caught A would everything around him to

5:47

be perfect. A very good everything

5:49

around on to be perfect. You got a

5:51

chance here. they got bizarre and a guy

5:53

cop is the guys regular did I'm a

5:55

beyond as. For some

5:57

reason they had a coach last year who fell

5:59

like sata. Do it will I'll give it is

6:01

best players the ball it was the damn this

6:03

phenomenon I would never ever really trying to get

6:05

a grasp what how bad was go save his

6:07

job and as you see it did not. But

6:09

if you go make the argument occur cousin these

6:11

everything else to work around him they got a

6:13

lot of the everything else part to be around

6:16

him they still fucking falcons right like out of

6:18

one any by to get it twisted a nothing

6:20

perfect around you as long as you got their

6:22

bird or your head. But as far as off

6:24

his weapons goes I see the argument. Yet.

6:26

As a debate, London is so good by

6:28

the way and we haven't gotten the chance

6:31

to see that that as the the quarterback

6:33

play that he's been subjected to since coming

6:35

Dsl. But like he is true, would be

6:37

like your prototypical number one when sound field

6:40

separates uses that big bodied frame out the

6:42

bees think he's really good also at the

6:44

kind of things that Kirk Cousins as good

6:46

as strong over the middle of the field.

6:49

deep in breaking routes, Crossers Ah,

6:51

and I see your point

6:53

like it does feel. Like.

6:57

Because of the pieces around him. In because

6:59

in the and see where we can have

7:02

seen quarterback in for example San Francisco who

7:04

has one that way because the pieces around

7:06

him and he has been good enough and

7:08

accurate enough to allow them to do what

7:11

they do. I could see that sort of

7:13

translating. It does a reason why Kirk Cousins

7:15

is sort of the ultimate dreamboat quarterback for

7:17

this particular brand of coaches. Because you can't

7:19

have fled the men and he runs the

7:22

offense in. Ah, he throws the ball on

7:24

time and he dozes accurately and you can

7:26

let your team the superstars. Go to work

7:28

like the to me in Atlanta. It

7:31

takes. A lot of sense as long as he

7:33

is just who he is been. I you have questions

7:35

about the defense. they were better last year. They still

7:37

don't have. Passer. S really

7:39

as me they can do that. The

7:41

draft perhaps. but I know maybe I'm

7:44

being over often overly optimistic about it.

7:47

It. Just seems like a really good situation and I

7:49

like the coaching staff that they put together to. I

7:51

liked the Raheem Morris higher. Also, pass it

7:53

has said business Six, Six I

7:55

tell you Seats the Saints Or

7:57

seats in the sense that cease.

8:00

I can't say what the Panthers are

8:02

and I don't even work for a

8:04

network no more. I can say whatever

8:06

I want and I can't make a

8:08

booty metaphor for the Panthers that wouldn't

8:10

be just ultimately crass and disgusting. You

8:12

just say all in comma my ass,

8:15

right? That's the, uh, yeah.

8:20

For those of you who don't know this,

8:22

by the way, skip bail is so tired

8:24

of the Cowboys skip don't even cut I

8:26

eat him out. I've never heard skips say

8:28

anything like this. Skip got all students and

8:30

all in comma my ass. He is cheap.

8:32

I mean, I imagine that bad going through a lot,

8:35

but I didn't realize it was that bad. Yeah.

8:38

I, I, every time it keeps coming up

8:40

in my timeline and I keep reading it

8:42

in the intonation of my neck, my back,

8:44

and then skip Bayless tweet. You

8:49

know, I hadn't thought about that part.

8:52

A good thing. He had that comma

8:54

that that right there is one of

8:56

those where one punctuation mark could change

8:58

the whole tenor of the tenor. Yeah.

9:01

Okay. Sorry, this is a little bit tangential,

9:03

but Kirk cousins, I guess we're talking about

9:05

him, you said something that actually just made

9:07

something click with me that I've never thought

9:09

of. Cause you said you,

9:11

you, you thought he was bad early in

9:13

his career. I was very Kirk skeptical. When

9:16

he was, he was bad early in

9:18

his career, just to be clear. Okay.

9:20

Let me run this by you though. Has

9:23

anyone ever benefited more from

9:25

not being good than Kirk

9:27

cousins? Because think about it,

9:30

Bo, because if he, because

9:32

he was questionable, shall

9:34

we say early in his career, Washington never

9:36

wanted to give him a deal.

9:38

You remember the infamous Bruce Allen video where he

9:40

called him like Kurt, you know, like many times.

9:43

And so because the deals were so insulting, he was like,

9:45

nah, I'll play on the tag, I'll play on the tag.

9:47

And then boom, he got good at

9:49

the right time. If he had been

9:51

good earlier in his career, he might

9:54

not be Kirk cousins, the legend at the bank that we know.

9:57

See, he is correct. Cause he's the legend at the bank. Like

9:59

think about. about this. He's a legend

10:01

at the bank and literally

10:04

no one has ever been happy to have

10:06

them. I can say that they're kind of happy. No, no

10:09

one that has had him as their quarterback. They're

10:11

coming off doesn't read. I mean, they are right

10:13

now, right? Washington was never happy about having him.

10:16

They were glad who he wasn't, right? He wasn't

10:18

Robert. They were happy with that, but they were

10:20

never happy with who he actually was. And then

10:22

he got to Minnesota and I swear Mike Zimmer

10:25

was like, I used to look forward to playing

10:27

against this dude. He was never happy to have

10:29

him. Uh, the general manager, the dude that runs

10:31

the team now, he got the gig and was

10:34

like, Hey man, we ain't really trying to do

10:36

this. The bike is ain't even got no answer

10:38

for what they're going to do. And they

10:40

still like, Oh no, we're not really too

10:42

pleased with this one. Right. He, you're

10:44

not going to tell me right. He was like, yo,

10:46

I used to stay up late wondering what we was

10:48

going to do against her cousins. You're not going to make

10:51

me believe this, but he's, he's what's there. He, no

10:53

one has understood better than Kirk cousins that

10:56

what else you about to do? Show me

10:58

what else you got. I don't

11:00

know about Rahim, but he, we count

11:02

him as part of that Shanahan McVade

11:05

three, you know, he is part of that, that cohort.

11:08

I'm telling you, those

11:10

guys look at Kirk, you know, like

11:13

when you have a friend who thinks they're like,

11:15

or maybe even a group of friends where they

11:17

think like a girl is absolutely beautiful and you

11:19

just don't understand it and nobody gets it. But

11:22

it's like, Hey, I'm so glad that they're, you

11:24

were in this world and you love her. And

11:26

that is how those guys are with Kirk cousins.

11:28

So like, I am not exaggerating

11:30

here. They, everybody in that

11:33

tree absolutely loves him. He

11:35

is their type. He is their dream girl.

11:37

Like this is so I actually would not

11:40

be surprised if that coaching staff was like,

11:42

yes, we got him. Like when that deal

11:44

was signed because they love him. I get

11:47

you on the office of God. It's hard. And look,

11:49

Rahim had his dalliance over there in offense. So I

11:52

don't want to pretend like he has no experience there,

11:54

but you just can't make me believe that this dude

11:56

ain't been a defensive coordinator for this time. He know

11:58

who like that was the thing. with Mike Zimmer. I

12:00

don't think Mike Zimmer could ever get past the fact

12:02

that he was like, I would shut

12:05

this guy down so fast. I wish I

12:07

was coaching the other team this week. He

12:09

would always make them run the ball too. And that

12:11

was ultimately Zimmer's undoing, right? Because he's like his

12:14

influence on the offense there. I think with

12:16

the defensive guys... He's like, I'm telling you,

12:18

this is gonna end badly if we keep

12:20

letting this guy throw the ball. Maybe,

12:23

but I think this is the thing. Kurt

12:25

Cousins is like the quarterback who doesn't scare

12:27

you as a defensive coach, but he doesn't

12:29

get you fired. There's a lot

12:31

of guys who have a

12:35

higher ceiling and a much higher floor, and Kirk

12:37

is not one of those guys. So for

12:39

Morris, just because of what

12:42

he's been through in the NFL, where he had

12:44

such horrible quarterback play during his first stint, and

12:46

that's ultimately why he didn't

12:48

last long as a head coach, I

12:50

have to think that there's just safety that

12:52

comes with this. And maybe it does put a

12:54

ceiling, and maybe they win the NFC South and

12:57

then they get knocked out, but it

12:59

gives you a floor at least. Oh yeah. And

13:01

let's be clear, there was no better quarterback

13:03

that they were going to get. And

13:06

there's always a ceiling on that team as

13:08

long as they got them birds on they

13:10

had. Now, a lot of people have raised

13:12

the question of Justin Fields going to play

13:14

for the Falcons. The question has been raised

13:16

about Justin Fields going to play for a

13:18

lot of people. And there appears to be

13:20

a lot of thanks, no thanks about him.

13:22

Now, I don't know. Maybe the Bears had

13:24

too high of a price because we just

13:26

saw, I mean, we just saw New England

13:28

send Mack Jones down to Jacksonville to be

13:30

Trevor Lawrence's backup for a bag of football.

13:32

Like we just saw that happen. I don't

13:34

know what it would take to get Justin

13:37

Fields, but it looks like the entire league

13:39

is saying, no, we look forward to

13:41

playing against this guy. Like it

13:43

seems like a very similar thing with the league.

13:45

The league seems to be telling us they're not

13:47

here for it. I do think his value

13:49

is impacted by the contract aspect, which is like

13:51

you trade for him and then you have to

13:54

make a decision on the fifth year option, which

13:56

is over $20 million immediately. But even so, I

13:58

haven't even heard our whip. of

14:00

a rumor of like trade and

14:02

maybe this is something where they're flying really low.

14:04

I don't know but we're hearing

14:06

nothing and the one that got me Bo, it wasn't

14:09

you know Mack Jones being traded for a bag of

14:11

chips or whatever. It wasn't

14:13

a trade. It was Gardner Minshew signing

14:16

with the Raiders for

14:18

I think it was $15 million guaranteed.

14:20

He was bad last

14:22

year. This is like anybody

14:24

who watched the Colts and you actually

14:26

like the record belies his performance. He

14:28

was seriously propped up

14:30

by their off of their coach

14:33

Shane Steichen in that office very

14:35

RPO centric offense. Like

14:37

for the Raiders a team that I thought might

14:39

be one of the Justin Fields trade destinations to

14:42

say no we're going to bring in

14:44

Minshew to compete with O'Connell. Maybe

14:46

they're not done. That

14:49

confused me. Like I cannot fathom

14:51

wanting Minshew over Justin Fields even

14:53

just for the upside. Yeah

14:55

I don't I don't I

14:59

wouldn't understand wanting Minshew over

15:01

Fields but I don't

15:04

feel like Antonio Pierce can be the one to

15:06

bring Justin Fields in right now. That's a lot going

15:08

on. You're asking for a lot out of the people.

15:10

That's a demographic element that you got to consider. Like

15:12

Raheem Morris had this situation in Tampa when he went

15:15

out and brought Josh Freeman in with him. No

15:17

no no we need to do this. Either

15:19

we need to do this one step at

15:21

a time or you got to do this

15:23

very very carefully. For example I'm not sure

15:25

if you saw in Cleveland but the Browns

15:27

continued what they've been doing which is signing

15:29

every black back up quarterback that they can

15:31

find. The new black up is James Winston

15:33

because you got to put him behind the Shawl

15:36

Watson nasty ass to stop the fans from asking

15:38

for something else. They couldn't bring Joe Flacco back

15:40

behind him because it would wind up being some

15:42

form of mutiny. You will notice the New England

15:44

Patriots I was surprised they did this. They went

15:46

inside Jacoby Percet. That's letting

15:49

you know. Jayden Daniels is coming to town. If I

15:51

were Gerard Mayo I Probably would have tried to space

15:53

this out a little bit. I Don't know what white

15:55

man is going to take responsibility for this, but they

15:57

asked for Boston to get behind the first bowl. Quarterback

16:00

the they've ever wanted to have the hague

16:02

him nude but it would really all purpose

16:04

rice you guy hills and you gotta Gerard

16:06

but you gotta put jacoby percent baggage that

16:08

people from as the i'm just say and

16:10

bows Antonio Pierce somebody else go had to

16:13

get just be as I did. Got here

16:15

baby at hard enough target his job. Okay

16:17

of now I'm like reverse engineering a theory and

16:19

thinking about all of that that happens in there.

16:21

and did the places Ezekiel the present has been

16:23

added your one hundred percent right about Joe Flacco

16:25

no doubt places in it even setting aside their

16:27

third the racial as they wish I did. You

16:29

think this of racy to get to lack of

16:32

what he did last year in Cleveland I'm saying

16:34

the second difference on how to do that yet

16:36

you get the that yes ah presented the funny

16:38

one to me. But we the Ravens look at

16:40

the rape is rape as look at their Ravens

16:42

look look up. Every back of the Ravens have

16:44

picked up. To think I joe Flacco auto dial

16:46

it's a roll call. We're. Okay with a

16:48

little it bullets. Let's say one issue as the

16:50

back up the Richardson i don't have my finger

16:53

on the bulls have called stance on Mac and

16:55

a cast aspersions cause me as if you were

16:57

calling. From it's You who for her

16:59

fitted sin binned. Actually,

17:02

because of and. Or the months

17:04

if you the will understand how bad men she was

17:06

last year because they actually watched the Colds games and.

17:10

Ah Brezhnev. so I mean like pseudo

17:12

code for years or so photo quarterback

17:14

play by the way because they had

17:16

Peyton Manning and bear standard use high

17:19

high high for what they expect reviewed

17:21

be as their quarterback bit I let

17:23

nobody about. His Big Michele Nancy miss

17:25

miss you miss you being bad Last

17:27

year's the best favor. he get it

17:29

done entity Richardson right because. Both.

17:32

Fans have been like hankering for Richardson

17:34

to come back. Like they had to go

17:36

through a guy who simultaneously like didn't push

17:38

the by outfield in also through a lot

17:40

of turnover the Plitt lead to was not

17:42

good so. He actually kind of

17:44

cleats and space out. For. Richardson. I

17:46

don't know who they brought it now is the back and

17:48

as to who the back up there is the I'll be

17:50

curious to see to your theory. Who. They do

17:53

is it was. Ah. Brissette.

17:55

Is like it does. This one's crazy to me

17:57

because he's a he's on for eight million dollars.

18:00

They be the back up in New England and

18:02

at to back up potentially it he said Jay

18:04

Daniels. He's.

18:06

Been so much better. Then.

18:09

Menchu. Cm. Donald.

18:14

I don't understand, like I would

18:16

want him in a situation where

18:18

he has the ability to start

18:20

honestly. Ah, That's. A bargain

18:23

to me. He's. Obviously Great locker

18:25

room guy as well. I don't get it,

18:27

have. You noticed this strain? say

18:29

i'm Donald Optimism. Like.

18:32

Our I've really heard people talk about Sam

18:34

dawdle, legos or images of and yesterday good

18:36

zeal you've got I'm is ready I thought

18:38

was timid are guaranteed is of the ten

18:40

million dollars that gotta Minnesota and I ask

18:42

the question how was he didn't ten million

18:44

dollars mister this is good and three is

18:46

the meter the same guy at at all

18:48

these people try to say well we know

18:50

too busy is terrible we're not sure about

18:52

see daughter were not. Up as

18:54

up that had been settled. So I thought

18:56

the deal was up to. it's actually pretty damn.

18:59

It's a free rich deal. I saw the

19:01

details came in this morning is a lot.

19:03

it's all it's pretty close to. It's not

19:05

that near that ten million dollars. I mean,

19:08

this. This. Is pretty

19:10

privilege which is real. And there's

19:12

pick privilege. And I'm telling you these. Quarterbacks:

19:15

Zip the pick privilege follows them

19:17

forever. He doesn't matter, I

19:19

feel you wouldn't miss your best.

19:21

He doesn't know what you're talking

19:23

about right now Gets hit. Pretty

19:25

privileged is add A here. he

19:27

actually had a good season one.get

19:29

picked Privileges! Oh yes, Donald. Okay,

19:32

so here's the thing. I'm

19:34

a little guilty of. A

19:41

like if it. Does cause I

19:43

loved him as a prospect. One of

19:45

the wrong just I've I've been wrong about lot of thing

19:47

specially. If

19:50

we could have any severely mobile.

19:52

I I don't like him pretend I would rather have to

19:54

go to reset is the and I want to be clear as

19:57

he gets into better Quarterback the and all of that I

19:59

don't like to use. Iran him for ten million dollars

20:01

to me is is more than a flyer. I

20:03

do think. A. Me I guess and quarterback

20:05

sneak it is it. But but. According.

20:08

Numbers rather. But yeah, I

20:10

think it'll be interesting to

20:12

see. If it was. A

20:15

bad guy guy right now. I'm so guilty

20:17

of it. Know I? a. Buddha are do

20:19

said da da da god. If the

20:21

Vikings. As you said the else So this is this

20:24

is my biggest. Take. Away in Indianapolis

20:26

you will. Why do you go to the Combine? You know,

20:28

like when you actually learn their until you I went into

20:30

that com been thinking. They're going to bring her

20:32

back and this team really wants to quarterback.

20:34

This is everybody. Was talking about. It's question

20:36

is whether or not anyone the top three

20:38

would be willing to trade down because then

20:40

you're in the Gg. Mccarthy. Business.

20:43

The Bunich business, the mechanics business, and I

20:45

have to think that's where Minnesota is right

20:47

now. They're going to defend a draft a

20:49

quarterback questions just how I can they go.

20:52

Who in the world is both? Next thing is

20:54

though, a me off. I. Did hear

20:56

believe this is a day? Israel.

20:58

Adidas become an entirely different person at Oregon.

21:01

He was better. I'm. A

21:03

He's not my. I have him below

21:05

the other two. So

21:07

I'm kind of with you. but. He

21:09

was better and. He. Sits

21:11

I can see some of those seems the scenes

21:14

taken in the middle. But. Ah,

21:16

that high. That strikes me as very rich

21:18

like I liked him and Mccarthy. Frankly when

21:20

we are talking about them in the second

21:22

round and teams be no with starters may

21:25

be seen with a god and am I

21:27

in? I liked that idea, but. The.

21:30

Way people are time out the second tier quarterbacks

21:32

in how high they're going. kind of Saxony for.

21:34

All three of them, to be honest, Yeah.

21:36

I mean I guess. Is

21:38

this one of those without? Looked at the list

21:41

the next year's quarterbacks and I had been that

21:43

like sorrow in Bieber. My college football was this

21:45

year but I saw the listen a the next

21:47

year's quarterback that I have say that it may

21:49

seem like a lot of cause for optimism. I

21:52

I'm with you. I think that's probably

21:54

why. We're in the see the second tier

21:56

and least wonder may be more of them. Go in

21:58

the first round it briefly. next

22:01

year as well. Next year. I mean these teams

22:03

are already looking ahead and thinking about that. I

22:05

feel the same way. Well, I

22:07

guess we will talk more about this when we

22:09

get to break. I want to wait to really

22:11

get into the Saquon thing. But all these running

22:13

backs flying around, that seemed to be your indicator

22:15

they do not feel good about the running back

22:18

cropping as your ass. 100%.

22:20

It was interesting though, right? Go, because all the

22:23

running backs went really quickly in free

22:25

agency, which was kind of

22:27

shocking. But then when you

22:29

really dug into the contracts outside of

22:32

Saquon and weirdly DeAndre

22:34

Swift, that one surprised me. They're

22:36

really all not big contracts. We're talking

22:39

single-digit millions. Most of them are really

22:41

one-year deals. Like the Josh Jacobs contract

22:43

is the perfect fake money contract, right?

22:46

They're like, oh, four years, $48 million, 12 guarantee.

22:48

Wait, what? And

22:52

it's interesting because – yeah, I think there was

22:55

a run on them because nobody likes a

22:57

draft. But then despite the fact

22:59

that there was a run on them, because there

23:01

were so many of them, they all suppressed each

23:03

other's value to some degree. So it kind of

23:05

felt like teams – everybody just

23:07

kind of traded backs, and it was a little bit

23:09

of like, okay, we're on different timelines with different needs

23:11

in our running back rooms. So it's

23:13

not that we're so desperate at the position, it's that we

23:16

would just like a different kind of back. Yeah,

23:18

I just – you know, you and I, we

23:20

feel different about what a good hard worker running

23:22

back deserves in this league. You know what I'm

23:25

saying? Like, I'm out here trying to get these

23:27

cats this money they so richly deserve. You out

23:29

here with your slide rule and all your data

23:31

in good sense, trying to – you know, you

23:34

ain't really trying to come through for them workhorses.

23:36

You know what I mean? I'm

23:39

reframing my stance

23:42

as not don't pay running backs, but

23:44

give that money to guards. So

23:47

That's how we –, you know, so it's

23:49

not anti-player. It's just like, you know, the

23:51

money, it's the hard-capped league. I'm just saying,

23:53

you better spent elsewhere. And By the way,

23:56

that's where the money has been going because

23:58

holy crap, these guard contracts. I'd

24:01

like they didn't Miami getting it a

24:03

one hundred million dollars from Carolina Carolina.

24:05

Going all in the armed guards to

24:07

protect. Their. We won back

24:10

there. That seems pretty telling.

24:12

Our We'll we'll go back to talk about.

24:14

There was a Carolina good. They did their

24:16

27:45

me and the guys just told me something

27:47

that's very, very important. So apparently the youngsters

27:49

on the internet just found out about G-Rig

27:51

from the 7th Flow or like

27:54

maybe, yeah, I like it when the

27:56

next generation finds something

27:58

that we've known

28:00

about for a minute. It was like trending for a

28:02

while. I was like, why is Greg Olsen trending?

28:04

I thought it would be, I don't know, like

28:06

something about Tom Brady taking his

28:09

place or whatever. Nope. Nope. Somehow

28:11

somebody circulated that video again. And

28:13

yeah, I, it's a delight every time.

28:15

Somebody was told me that G-Rig does

28:18

not like, uh, people talking about the

28:20

G-Rig situation. I said

28:22

a tweet was that says something to me

28:24

in fact, G-Rig was talking about, uh, Travis

28:26

Kelsey and like how Travis Kelsey is the

28:28

greatest of all time. And look football players

28:30

who become announcers and coaches have a tendency

28:33

to like the guys that remind them of

28:35

themselves. I don't think G-Rig appreciated me making

28:37

that point. And I didn't mean it from

28:39

a whiteness standpoint. They really do are like

28:41

in the similar lane of guy, but I

28:44

got bad news for you. G-Rig, you ain't

28:46

never gonna G-Rig with the G-Rig. Your

28:48

head, uh, jumping the spot, throw down,

28:50

but third leg, wasn't that the line?

28:53

I do know. I do know there was

28:55

a third leg. It

28:57

was G-Rig and third leg. I know,

28:59

I know those two things were in

29:01

it. Greg, I you're right.

29:03

He doesn't like it. And I just want

29:06

to say it's a compliment. We love it. This

29:08

is one of the best things we've ever done. Don't

29:10

just own it. Let

29:15

me, let me say, I don't know, whatever

29:17

you gotta go tell you. Get in love with every G-Rig.

29:19

Look, the thing after the G-Rig thing happened because I was

29:22

working in the game at that point. Like, I think you

29:24

were probably like just getting out of college where that happened.

29:26

And so it was

29:28

some dude around them named

29:30

Marvelous and everybody that

29:32

did something about the Sevenfold crew, this

29:35

dude Marvelous was hitting us up. And

29:37

I feel like it was Santana Moss's

29:39

little brother. Apparently he sang or something

29:42

like that, but this was like the

29:44

opportunity to get it going. And so

29:46

G-Rig had his chance. Like, like if he

29:49

had decided to get his rap on, that

29:51

was his chance. Cause Marvelous was out here

29:53

trying to make them all stars. Like, look,

29:55

let me tell you this. It could be

29:57

worse. G-Rig don't like us talking about this.

30:00

Can you imagine what it's like being Mike Toreko? Uh,

30:03

has Mike Toreko been? He

30:06

offered a somewhat polite no comment to the New

30:08

York Times was about Yeah,

30:10

like what is it like when he's asked about

30:12

yeah, ah, nah, nah, he's trying to keep it

30:14

moving I think somebody played it for

30:16

G reg. I want to say maybe a Super

30:19

Bowl a few years ago Or like I don't

30:21

remember it was like some it was obviously not

30:24

Someone else I was kind of outside and

30:26

he just stone face was the reaction He

30:28

was just like I keep you just like didn't acknowledge

30:30

it Yeah, you got to leave it on this baby

30:32

you you you the one that went to the you

30:35

like like that's a decision that you May

30:37

that's gonna be on you forever in one

30:39

way or another you'll never get to stop

30:41

going to the you and also like

30:43

you know it's Because

30:46

of who he is now Which is like

30:48

he's like I don't like the the smart

30:51

announcer, right? Like everybody loves Greg's command of

30:53

situational football and like his detailed. He's like

30:55

modern understanding of the game I feel

30:58

like it doesn't sell his image at

31:00

all. It he adds technicolor to it.

31:02

I don't know G reg I just want you to

31:04

own it. That's all this is great. Oh

31:06

Shawn saying I don't think at the same time,

31:08

but that's right That's right. Oh, I forgot G

31:11

reg to show tell me about this G reg

31:13

daddy is a coach or something like that Yeah,

31:16

Greg Olson's father Chris Olson was the head coach

31:18

of my high school football team, which my four

31:20

years of high school We never lost a football

31:22

game and one fourth straight But he was already

31:25

at the University of Miami when I was a

31:27

freshman so you think his daddy can rap Absolutely

31:30

not you sure confirmed. He

31:33

had some kind of family Member

31:35

with like a dark story, right? You know what? I

31:37

mean, we shouldn't get into that It's the youngest the

31:40

youngest brother. We ain't gotta do this right now. It's

31:42

cool I was cool to move off like in fact,

31:44

why don't we start talking about coach? Canigas like I

31:46

feel like I feel like you got a little awkward

31:48

right there at that moment It's so boom. There we

31:50

go. It's sorry for those of you who don't know

31:52

you got to look it up. K n-i-g-g-a It's

31:54

coach canigas. I can't feel that that man's name. You

31:56

know what I'm saying? It's kind of like the situation

31:58

What was the day? LJ

32:01

Hose was not cool with

32:03

us making jokes about his

32:05

name because it's his name,

32:07

right? But he the one that wore the number zero.

32:10

Like, he can't be mad at us for laughing about

32:12

that part, but I agree. Like, if

32:15

your name is LJ Hose, like, we can't—I get

32:17

why you don't want us to laugh at that

32:19

and say, but homie coach, man, that's just who

32:21

they is. The racism is not

32:23

their fault. There's

32:26

things that you're born with, and there's things that you choose

32:28

to do. That rap was a choice. Yeah. The

32:31

rap was a choice. Yes. G-Rag. We're

32:34

faking. G-Rag's gonna come. I

32:37

saw a G-Rag. Where did I see G-Rag? I saw him

32:40

somewhere, and I was coming

32:42

in the door and he was going out, and we were both coming in, and it

32:44

was just a quick what's up. Like, I normally

32:46

get pretty warm greetings with people that we

32:48

recognize each other, kind of like, hey, what's

32:50

up? What's going on, man? He wasn't

32:52

rude about it. But, you know, I

32:54

did remember the G-Rag didn't like whatever I said that

32:56

day on the internet, and maybe he heard I keep

32:59

calling him G-Rag. He's pretty online, too,

33:01

so. He

33:03

think he ain't G-Rag. He needs to

33:05

understand. Like, whether he knows this or

33:07

not, when he is not around, he

33:09

is anybody who knows the story, he

33:11

is G-Rag. I, as the

33:14

mother of a son, I, just

33:17

loving the opportunity to say that.

33:22

I don't, I'll be curious to see whether like

33:24

you're, do the indiscretions of your

33:27

youth, because I think G-Rag's kids are pretty

33:29

young now. Do they make

33:31

you cooler in the eyes of your children, if

33:34

you do something like that? Or does it

33:36

sap your credibility when you try to discipline

33:39

them later on? I don't know.

33:42

I have many years until I have to find out. I

33:45

think in a different generation, it would add to the

33:47

credibility, like back when parents didn't worry about being cool,

33:50

because now everybody still wants to be

33:52

cool until the day they die. So

33:54

it actually probably

33:57

interferes with your credibility, right? because

34:00

you have now undercut your actual

34:02

message without adding to your cool factor.

34:04

But back before, when you look back

34:06

and you didn't realize, oh, my pops

34:08

was cool one day, now your daddy

34:10

wearing the same goddamn tie-dye shirt as

34:12

you wearing. I may be talking

34:14

about Dominique, I may not be, you know

34:16

what I'm saying? But this is generationally how

34:19

it works. You and your kids wear the

34:21

same shoes. That's how that goes these days.

34:23

So now you just undercutting yourself without adding

34:25

anything, because you've already given them the cool

34:27

as you, you can. My,

34:30

something that has never occurred to me

34:32

until this exact moment is that my

34:34

child in eight, 10 years can

34:37

Google me and there will be a

34:39

wealth of information, public

34:42

documentation, discussion, hopefully

34:44

not AI images.

34:47

Whereas like when we were coming, like I

34:49

just anything I learned about my parents

34:51

was from my parents. I had no sense

34:53

of their external lives, right? I

34:55

have no control over that, it's kind of odd. Yeah,

34:59

and you were like, legend would trickle

35:01

down, right? Like I was at my

35:03

uncle's funeral this summer and I found

35:05

out that my grandfather, who I had

35:08

only known as a member

35:10

of the clergy, I

35:13

learned, somehow this had never

35:15

come up in conversation, that he also,

35:17

before he got to the clergy, was

35:19

known on the streets of Oakdale, Louisiana

35:21

as crack shot, because he was shaking

35:23

up them dice. And that

35:25

had not made his way down, right? Now

35:28

I would go and be able to, like

35:30

if I were crack shot, my grandkids would

35:32

be able to look up my old Instagram

35:34

page and go find pictures of me sitting

35:36

here just like this, shaking them up.

35:39

Yeah, I, not to,

35:41

I mean, there's dark, not

35:44

about my parents, but about the grandparents

35:46

and whatever family secrets that I didn't

35:48

find out about until I was well

35:50

into my teens, you know? And by

35:53

then, you gotta take things a

35:55

different way. I Think

35:57

it's good for kids to not know stuff about

35:59

their parents. It's I think it's good Barrett have

36:01

a little bit of mystery around him. Or.

36:04

Or sometimes does wise. Yes,

36:07

Sometimes the movie sometime big you bite the dust

36:09

my knees ally by of you might be to

36:11

create a whole different person. They don't need to

36:13

know where they came from. A bit lazy to

36:15

think about where to go with. Yeah.

36:18

My dad. Our Dresdner the

36:21

bus but. Let's say

36:23

he advertised a very

36:25

illustrious athletic career. Has

36:27

was in the isn't. Entirely

36:29

accurate, as realized. I

36:35

have ever friends they're told us that

36:38

he her to death sentences for blame

36:40

in Oklahoma. And. I've never. I've

36:42

never been sure. Is. My.

36:46

By. You now you know some people

36:48

to be lie like I'd never I believed

36:51

it is been realized it a true but

36:53

I can never tell who Id know, who

36:55

I could feel, who was able nadal and

36:57

it right. I mean that they I could

36:59

get good guy daily life who who was

37:01

either that or the gay But for forget

37:03

about this hour drive to save our barley

37:05

move by you could I like this when

37:07

a lot get I feel like when you

37:09

get into the sake while Barkley Christian Mccaffrey

37:11

class do Especially guys that you could do

37:13

multiple things with. Now we're talking about of

37:15

the difference and now. I've been, I just feel

37:18

like I want to. The Eagles drab is our

37:20

last year because I thought it would be absolutely

37:22

terrified and now that booty pushed his go be

37:24

more devastating than ever with all squat may as

37:26

a a squat me a junior you decide which

37:28

one is which. Yeah I am begging ah

37:31

announcers not to be weird about it. First

37:33

as I say that like would think one

37:35

came out, everybody was like eight, you know

37:37

is like while his clyde and then like

37:39

a little weird you know like a little

37:41

bit objectifying, a little bit strange and now

37:43

with the twist bush and like now that

37:46

I'm. Yeah I I think this is

37:48

fun. And I could be a

37:50

a geek and say movie room it's

37:52

or see that often with the off

37:54

until I think. You know, the. I

37:57

do believe two things are true. I. think

37:59

any back determine Philadelphia put up great numbers

38:01

best run blocking offensive line of football you

38:03

get to run next to Jalen hurts which

38:06

Changes the numbers for you as a back right because

38:08

they have to respect him as a runner less so

38:10

last year Hopefully comes back like that And

38:14

we've seen that they have like, you know,

38:16

swift came in immediately. Boom great numbers. Yeah

38:18

anyone who comes in is really good But

38:20

I also think Barkley is more

38:22

of a weapon in a way that makes that

38:24

offense interesting I mean you saw in New York

38:26

like that was a horrible situation last year one

38:28

of the worst offensive lines in

38:31

football defenses didn't have to

38:33

respect the past at all and

38:35

he was up against it and

38:38

this is by the way where You know

38:40

as much as we decry the nerds and and

38:42

how they talk about running backs the

38:45

nerds I Don't know why

38:47

I'm saying the nerds like I'm not one I'm

38:49

like take time so talking to third person like

38:51

we now have better numbers to look at running

38:54

back performance So, you know say Quan only ever

38:56

3.9 yards per carry But now

38:58

there's metrics where you could actually like break apart

39:00

what they're running backs actually contributing counting for the

39:02

blocking when you look at those Numbers he

39:05

actually was pretty good last year Actually

39:07

similar to Bijan in terms of yards

39:10

over expected. I think it'd be

39:12

really good in Philly to your point I think you put

39:14

him back there. He's actually a threat to catch the ball.

39:16

Hopefully they get that more in their offense It hasn't been

39:18

part of it And

39:20

yeah, I just you know this that offense

39:23

last year really I Conferences

39:26

changed the way that they played them. They

39:28

very aggressively paid the pass that they faced

39:30

a lot more too high and whatnot So

39:33

to I think bring him in as a threat to catch

39:35

passes underneath is gonna be really nice And

39:37

then in Baltimore, we got Derek Henry and I don't know

39:39

how long he can keep this going I just don't feel

39:42

like I want to be the person to bet all when

39:44

it's over Because it just seems to continue to go and

39:46

every turn he's been the guy where he's like, well, he

39:48

can't do it at blank That's just been his whole life.

39:50

We ran for a million yards in high school We can't

39:52

do that in college. Well, he did it in college when

39:55

he can't do that in the NFL We

39:57

can't run for 2,000 yards. Like I just I just feel like

39:59

I don't to be the next person he mushed in the

40:01

face because I see a cake. And it's

40:03

like Saquon, right? Like, aren't you just happy

40:05

for him? Like I mean,

40:07

I don't know how many I'll watch Titan

40:09

football last year, but let me tell you

40:12

it was a lot of Derek Henry smashing

40:14

into eight man boxes over and over and

40:16

over and just, you know, trying

40:18

to get those fighting for like those 1.9

40:20

yards or whatever. And

40:22

now he gets to run behind a much

40:24

better offensive line. They lost a couple players

40:26

next to Lamar Jackson. It's like

40:29

an amazing situation to your point, like

40:31

trying to predict the end for him. Well, it

40:34

probably just got extended a little bit because of

40:36

where he signed and it wasn't that much money

40:38

either. They still need another

40:40

like legitimate receiving threat though, right? Like they

40:42

went and got guys last year and they

40:44

were definitely upgrades, but they're still they

40:47

flowers is not that guy. They're still short

40:49

of somebody. I think they could end up

40:51

being that guy. Yes, I'm being a size

40:53

is he's a little fellow. You know what

40:55

I mean? I knew you were at

40:57

the second you said that I knew you were it was

40:59

a size thing. I knew it. I knew it's why I

41:01

believe the little guy. He's a little guy.

41:04

You kind of be a little guy

41:06

and be really good at the NFL.

41:08

I don't know. I hear

41:11

you. I do think they need another receiver, right?

41:14

Because Beckham's was a one year flyer.

41:16

He's done money there. I

41:19

still like Rashad Bateman, but he's been hurt. I

41:21

think what's cool is this draft. There's

41:24

just zillion guys and this

41:26

draft is unique in that not

41:28

only is in this like unbelievable or serious class,

41:31

but they are big. I

41:33

mean, these receivers in this draft are

41:37

enormous. So for Baltimore, I think you can

41:39

feel like a need on the roster. Then

41:42

someone get someone even outside of the first round if

41:44

you want to pair with flowers and I

41:47

don't know if you've had a chance to look at those

41:49

receivers yet, but one thing that's interesting is they got to

41:51

do it at LSU. Neighbors who seems to be in the

41:53

same zone as the gentleman from Ohio State.

41:55

Like you have a chance to look at those guys yet.

41:58

Yes, I have. Yes. three,

42:00

everyone's kind of like divided on

42:03

what order they should go in Harrison Jr.

42:05

Neighbors in Odinte. You

42:07

just, you just in the three, you just go,

42:09

I know you like roam a lot. I do. I have

42:11

them and I'm a Huskies fan,

42:13

but I have them in that order. Harrison Jr.

42:15

Neighbors, sorry, different from what I said, Harrison Jr.

42:18

Neighbors Odinte. Um, I get

42:20

it with neighbors. Like he is

42:23

so explosive and that's what everybody

42:25

wants. Like a guy who's just

42:27

a threat to, you know, go,

42:30

go for six after the catch every time

42:32

and I understand it, but like watching

42:36

Harrison Jr. I, but like,

42:38

I, I just don't think there are holes

42:41

in his game. And let me tell you this, I posted

42:43

about this Odinte

42:45

and neighbors catching beautifully thrown

42:48

balls, right? From

42:50

Daniels and Pennix Jr. Yo,

42:52

I didn't watch that much of my face

42:54

this year. Let

42:58

me say this Harrison Jr. Good

43:01

on you, man. Like some of those throws

43:04

you were catching. Yo, yes.

43:07

Uh, the quarterback play was wretched.

43:11

Uh, and yeah, so I actually found that

43:13

like, you don't want to

43:15

ding the other two receivers that much in the same

43:17

way that like, you can't, it kind of

43:19

goes both ways with the quarterbacks too, right? Like, cause both of

43:21

them will be dinged for playing with such amazing receiver

43:23

groups, like a Pennix Jr. And, and,

43:26

uh, Jane Daniels, but I, there is something

43:28

to be said about watching a

43:31

player like Harrison Jr. Do what he did

43:33

with, uh, record his name last year. You

43:36

know, obviously year before that he had, well, the thing that's

43:38

interesting to me about him is that, uh,

43:41

the Cardinals, I mean, I

43:43

guess I think we all, it's going to be Kyle

43:45

Murray. Like we, all these thoughts we had about them

43:47

getting rid of Kyle Murray, a draft to somebody else

43:49

and they wound up at the number four pick that's

43:52

not, they're going to wind up there with Kyle to

43:54

Murray. And that will be interesting as you know, Kyle

43:56

to Murray, people seem to have

43:58

a difficult time getting along with him. And

44:00

I don't really know too much about the dude from Ohio

44:02

State, but I know enough to feel like, hey man, you

44:04

better be on the up and up with that cat. He

44:06

may not got no agent, but he got back up. I

44:09

was on a draft show today and this

44:13

topic that we're alluding to came

44:15

up. I've been trying to figure out how to

44:17

handle this for three years. I'm just curious about

44:19

this part because we don't talk about

44:22

this nearly as much as we used to,

44:24

but we used to talk about all them

44:26

wild combine interviews, right? How they would feel

44:28

comfortable sitting in there and asking these cats

44:30

about anything in the world. Yeah.

44:33

Yeah. Legendarily the Dez Bryant was

44:35

your mother of prostitute question. Okay. So

44:39

in this particular case, what

44:43

they do, because me, I'd

44:45

have changed the subject. I would

44:47

not. I wouldn't, for what? For

44:50

what? There's no point in

44:52

asking. You're going to say, okay, okay.

44:55

Our network and other places have gotten a lot of crap for

44:58

upsizing tales of tragedy too much in drafts,

45:00

right? I think that's changed a little bit

45:02

over the recent years because- What are they going to do? No,

45:05

they're not. That's what it is. They're

45:08

not. They're not. Here's exactly

45:10

what happened. I was on a show. Somebody

45:12

was like, yeah, and his

45:16

dad was really involved in the process, coaching

45:19

him up on the off the field.

45:22

This stuff. And

45:24

I'm so glad nobody, I don't know if

45:26

nobody was watching. I had so little control

45:28

over myself. Hey, hey, hey, how come the

45:30

Cowboys ain't signed no free agents? That's

45:33

the move. Like,

45:36

I'm surprised they didn't sign no free agents. Like,

45:38

like, I guess they don't do that very much,

45:40

but I thought they would have gone and got

45:42

somebody, right? It's interesting

45:44

with Jerry because everybody,

45:47

he actually, you saw the interview with the tight end

45:49

he used to play there and was like, all they

45:51

care about is business, like being in a zoo, Daunt

45:53

Schultz. And the dude is

45:55

so focused on marketing and everything we hear

45:57

about him is like- He's

46:00

so desperate for a Super Bowl before he, you

46:02

know, dies. Speaking of awkward

46:04

phrasing, by the way, that keeps coming up. Like

46:07

he's getting old, he's getting up in the years. And

46:09

yet he isn't making any dumb, like, like

46:12

he isn't being splashy. It's

46:21

actually kind of confusing because I actually am

46:23

a little bit easier on the Cowboys than

46:25

others. I understand the frustration amongst fans, but

46:28

you know, typically that good

46:31

teams do often sit out for agency. I think

46:33

you can debate over whether or not how good

46:35

the Cowboys are. I think it's still pretty good

46:38

roster. Uh, but I

46:40

think I find it more odd from the perspective

46:42

of like, okay, if, if, if this is who

46:44

we believe Jerry Jones is, if he's so obsessed

46:47

with winning and he loves making big splashes and

46:49

doing these big dumb signings, the

46:51

fact that they're sitting it out is a little bit

46:53

odd and maybe it suggests that he doesn't

46:55

have as much control over that team as

46:57

people thought. Yeah. I mean, I

46:59

think Steven's been making more decisions than people

47:02

wanted to give credit for at this point,

47:04

because I mean, they're not

47:06

a badly run team, man. Like they have

47:08

not won in the post-season as people would

47:10

like, or people would expect, but they're not

47:12

a, they're not a poorly run team. Like

47:14

I'm kind of having to kind of sort

47:16

of come around to the idea that the Bengals

47:18

aren't poorly run anymore, which just is, I

47:20

mean, that's just been a fixture of my

47:22

adult life is them being terribly run or did

47:24

they just draft Joe Burrow into a match?

47:27

Are they well run or are they Joe Burrow? I

47:31

think we're about to find out because now

47:33

that Burrow is getting paid, they got to

47:35

make some actual difficult decisions. Obviously the Higgins

47:39

deal, or I don't think they're going to sign them to a

47:41

deal, but what they do with him is going to be

47:44

like a pivot point for this franchise. I

47:46

will say Dutoban is their GM, has

47:48

done a pretty good job over

47:50

the last few years. Free agency a couple of years

47:52

ago made a lot of good signings that ultimately led

47:54

them on that Super Bowl run. But

47:57

the thing

47:59

about the Cowboys. is like again, they have this

48:01

like reputation. Yeah, it's being like super flashy and Marketing

48:04

driven, but when you look at their draft picks

48:07

They're really unsexy and often good like

48:11

That guy died Tyler Smith for example, and

48:14

we owe them my apology, but yeah, we owe them

48:16

apology for that office a lot So

48:20

like they are actually like a pretty well-run team I

48:22
