Well, you know, I've got to dive into this debate about NFL and NBA ORG guys and could each play in the other sport. And mainly could NBA guys play in the NFL ORG have a couple thoughts in regards to that. I've watched a decent amount of the NBA playoffs and Anthony Edwards who looks like Michael Jordan meets Kobe Bryant 2.0 PERSON. What NFL quarterbacks could be the next Anthony Edwards? Did the 49ers try to send a message to Debo Samuel PERSON and rookie mini-camps?

I was at the gym earlier today, and I looked up at the TV, and it was Philly's Blue Jays. It was a beautiful day, beautiful, beautiful day in South Philadelphia LOC.

And I would say the best conversation or take I saw of this was Chris Long PERSON posted some stuff. He was hot and bothered. And I think he talked to the rootof why this conversation is so stupid. Now, I don't think anyone just in the NBA could just start playing in the NFL tomorrow, right? I think athletically, clearly I was watching the Sixers with Maxie PERSON. What an elite athlete. Or Jalen Brunson's PERSON body type. Obviously, athletically, these guys have the ability to be NFL ORG athletes. Some of themare the best athletes in the world. No one argues that. But the culture of football and the culture of NBA in 2024, the gap couldn't be any wider. The NBA I grew up on in the 90s. Young people loved to talk shit about it. It was much more enjoyable. Why? It had a football feel. Beside the best of the best,most guys were not on scholarship. There was an edge and a fight to the players because the contracts weren't nearly what they are right now. And you could be replaced at a moment's notice. And a lot like football,because in the 90s, just the rehab of injuries is nowhere near what it is now, major injuries would derail your career and you're never the same and you're out of the league. But when I look at the NFL ORG and just football in general, I'll never forget when I became a graduate assistant at Fresno State. And this was before the new CBA in 2011 and college football basically followed suitand double days don't exist. For about three straight weeks at Fresno State under Pat Hill PERSON, whose career really took off when he started working for Bill Belichick in Cleveland GPE because he was the assistant offensive line coach under Kirk Forens PERSON. He ran a very old school 1980s, 1990s operation. For three straight weeks, double days.In Fresno, California, in the summer, in August, one, the air is awful, and two, it's about 108 to 110 degrees. And I'll never forget, like the first couple days in pads, we ran inside run or nine on seven where you get seven defenders, the four defensive linemen, and the three linebackers, against nine guys on offense, one obviously being the quarterback, and whether you put on a full back there or a tied end and the five offensive linemen.And it is just either off tackle or inside the guard or center runs. It is a drill that separates the men from the boys. And I just remember watching going, no wonder most people in high school can't make it to this level. One, I mean the size of these guys, even at Fresno State, and this ain't Alabama or USC ORG,but the physicality, the speed, and the violence. And I was like, Jesus PERSON. And then when I got to the NFL ORG, my first year was before they changed the rules. We did double days what felt like at Lehigh under Andy Reed for weeksdoing similar stuff. Inside run drills. I mean, one-on-one gauntlet-like tackling drills. It was goal line drills in training camp that were just felt like people were going to getCO'd. And there is a physical level to football that just isn't there in basketball, right? Hockey, football, the UFC, it is predicated on violence, on like legitimate violence. One guy hitting another guy at high rates of speed, or enormous human beings tackling guys much smaller than them. Then there's the element, and I thought Chris Long PERSON put this very well, whether you go to high school, football, college football, or the NFL ORG.If you go to a practice, these coaches are all over everyone's ass 24-7-365, especially certain positions. The O-line, D-line, and just defensive guys in general are getting their ass ripped all the time. Just because you go to an NFL ORG practice and guys are making millions of dollars,and I've been going to training camps for 15 years, how intense the coaching is. In the NBA, the culture, and even starts in college now with some of these guys cycling out, the coach K's and the Beheims PERSON all retiring, those days are done. Tom Isso PERSON is the last of a dying breed. So culturally, the world we live in right now, these guys aren't used to what is mandated in the sport of, you're getting yelled at no matter what. I mean, the dynasty of my life was most notably known for Belichickcould get on Tom no different than he could the practice squad guy. MFing him all day. That doesn't happen. If that happened in the NBA ORG, the coach would be fired if he MF the wrong guy. So culturally, the shock would be to a 28-year-old making $28 million in the NBA ORG could never handle that. It would not be allowed. It just wouldn't fly. So that would be an impossible transition.And here's the other thing. In training camp, even now there are no double days, but for a month straight, every single day, most guys are getting into the breakfast hall between 7 and 7.30. And you're not going back to your room. I don't know, depending on the team till 9 at 10 TIME at night.In basketball, you show up for shooting around, you go home, you take a nap, and you come play another game. Training camps barely even exist anymore. They don't practice. The two sports in terms of the way they're built fundamentally couldn't be any more opposite. Now, just pure athleticism, there is no debate that guys in the NBA could play in the NFL ORG. But have we seen forever with the combine, just because you're a great athlete, doesn't mean it translates to the sport.Here's the other thing. When I was working in radio in the Bay Area, I went to a lot of NBA ORG games. I think people underestimate how enormous these individuals are. The average, like, shooting guard and wing in the NBA is like six, six and a half to six, nine. Trent Williams is one of the biggest guys in the NFL. He's like six, five. So the size component and the huge part of football is all about leverage, getting low. In the NBA ORG,it's all about playing above the rim. So the sports are just dramatically different in terms of what is asked. But the physicality element, and Barclay PERSON has said this many times on television, went out for football one day, started getting hit nonstop, and he quit. So to think that these guys that are in the NBA ORG, that have never played football, obviously some of these guys that played high school football, could have played college football,and could have been NFL ORG players. But once you get out of the culture of something, it's hard to get back into it. So I think it would be impossible for these guys to, because I think most of them would hate it and quit.Like, wait, my money's not guaranteed. You're screaming at me. Fuck this. I'm going back here where I do whatever I want. Whenever I want. When I say jump, management, and the coaches say how high.In the NFL ORG, it's opposite. When Pat Riley went on this long diatribe the other day about Jimmy Butler PERSON, basically like, if he's not playing, he needs to shut up. Everyone in the NBA ORG was like, I can't believe. Oh, my, because no one would say that. That's like a typical Mondayafter a game week three for 17 NFL ORG teams. So to me, the cultures are so much different, let alone what is asked of you physically. And then the weekly grind,like in the NBA ORG, just get to play. It's why anyone growing up playing basketball, whether you played in college, high school, whatever, you can play pickup, whatever. You just show up, hoop. The NFL ORG is not a sport where you just show up and play football.You practice like 90% of the time. You spend countless hours in meetings, just watching film, learning, taking notes. I'm telling you, if they were two industries one would be like tech and one would be like I don't know construction or something. They have nothing in common besides athletic people played the two sports and I just think it was a stupid argument. If you think yeah, could a guy just show up and play a game?If put Tyrese Maxie out at wide receiver and have him run some go routes, sure. Could he play 17 games? What happens the first time he runs over the middle and someone tackles him hard? And I'm not acting like the guy's not tough, but there's a level of toughness in violence in football, college and pro, that has no similarities to the sport of basketball in 2024. None.Absolutely none. So I think this conversation is just, it's fun, it's enjoyable, we all make jokes about it, but the world the NBA ORG is living in is a completely different universe that NFL ORG players have to take on.And they're used to it. You get numb to it. It's like anyone that works in any industry, you get used to the quirks, the things you like, the things you don't like, but you know, like, yeah,it's probably not changing much. Like the NFL ORG's never going to get to a point where O-line coaches aren't yelling at the offensive linemen. Saying mean shit to him, nonstop. Kind of lets it go off your back. The NBA ORG used to be like that.The NBA ORG I grew up on, coaches used to coach him hard. Phil Jackson was all over Michael Jordan's PERSON ass. That would never happen today. The moment you look at me funny or I think you're an idiot, you're fired. That's not an opinion. That's a fact.So this conversation, while fun, is kind of dumb. Because one, if you're an NBA ORG player, you'd much rather play. If you could do both, what would you choose? You would play in the NBA ORG. The average salary is $7 million. The overwhelming majority of just decent players get enormous second contracts.And the injury risk, which I've always thought was crazy because of how high these guys are jumping is much lower and you have much more power there's less of you because like the NFL ORG you split the revenue with the owners but there's only 12 15 CARDINAL guys a team so that's why these guys get paid more money where the NFL you're splitting the revenue up between 53 times 32 and obviously there's two less teams in the NBA ORG. So this conversation to me, and any NFL guy thinking they can go and drop 30 points, you know, I saw Micah Parsons PERSON,they're out of their mind as well. Because if you're 6-2, you're a midget in the NFL or in the NBA ORG. You're tiny. Tiny. Jalen Brunson PERSON's small, right?He's 6'1, 6'1, size of the majority of guys at different positions in the NFL ORG. Linebacker, corner, wide receiver, running backs. Six one or smaller.He feels like one of the smallest guys in the NBA ORG. I'm watching the OKC Thunder the other night. Every guy they had out there was like 6-6 to 6-9 and then they had Chet Holmgren who's like 7-1. The size, Draymond Green PERSON actually is a very undersized player.He's like 6-5-5-6-6 QUANTITY. Clay Thompson PERSON is taller. It's 6-7. So I think we underestimate the size differences, and it's a fun combo, but kind of stupid. Now, one guy who is just a remarkable athlete, one point in time I think he was one of thebest high school football players in Georgia and he's always said it was his first love and it's why I like him because he plays like a throwback and that's Anthony Edwards. If you've watched any of the Timberwolves ORG in these playoffs, he jumps off the screen like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant PERSON. He is a remarkable talent slash player. And clearly his, how much he cares to me resonates why I watch them play because I don't careabout the Timberwolves ORG, but I enjoy young players who have a chance to be all-time greats, whose give a shit factor is really, really high. And I find him a fascinating watch. I mean, he is, he jumps off the TV screen. And when you look at the NFL, they have an established group of kind of like the guys 27 to 30 years old DATE right now who are star players. Mahomes, Lamar, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow PERSON. I mean, these guys, if they stay healthy, another seven, eight years,can carry the league in the league's in good shape. But you would like a couple other young players to kind of join that mix. So when I look at who in the NFL has a chance to be the next Anthony Edwards, I think the group's pretty clear. Obviously, the number one guy you would pick, if at first or second year player would be C.J. Strout PERSON.Historic season, blue-chip guy, Ohio State, number two pick in the draft, comes the league, kicks ass and takes name. Now, of this group I'm about to list, he's probably the worst athlete, even though we've learned he's a much better athlete than we once thought. But his game is really more, he plays much more like an old school pocket quarterback than he does Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson PERSON which is fine I mean some of the best players in history of the league play just like that you don't need to run around to be a great player but that's how he's going to play so when you watch him the purity of his gameis kind of old school which I enjoy and if he just keeps doing what he did last year he's going to be viewed as a guy that's basically a top five quarterback. And the Houston Texans ORG are going to be a problem for a long time coming. These other two guys are just great unknowns. Because if you just, to me, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be a hater.I'm kind of right enough, Bryce Young PERSON. And I was someone who liked Bryce Young PERSON a lot. I would have taken Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud PERSON. I get new information. My opinion changes. Like, I thought one thing, you see another thing, like, I'm out.I'm betting against that organization. I'm betting against a guy, $5.9, a buck 80. I'm just not into it. I watch C.J. Strout PERSON, he's big. He's got a big arm. He's on a good team.Like, he's going to be successful. I am just betting against some things are out of Bryce PERSON's control. And when you just see that size of a human playing in this sport, I give you no chance. I'm sorry, I was wrong. But Anthony Richardson PERSON is the opposite.He is why, despite his, I would say questionable is the wrong way to put it, just limited information coming out of Florida GPE. People were still enamored with him. And as they got to know the guy, I saw a headline today from Quentin Nelson who loves him.He's like he's everything you want in the quarterback. His work ethic, how hard he rehabbed, what he's like in the building, how hard he's studying. When I hear things like that, I'm in. Because as we've learned, that's the position. If you have the physical characteristics and you're all in on that, you've got a chance.It doesn't mean you're going to be a great player, but you got a chance. And I've said this before. I said it to Colin probably a month ago that the NFL ORG network is clearly just canceling everything. They just show replays. And so the gym I go to has an NFL ORG network on one of the TVs. It's just constant games.Like yesterday I looked up, it's the Bucks Eagles ORG game. Which I don't even blame. If I ran the NFL ORG network, I would do the same thing. Why are we paying for all this stuff? Nobody's watching. Just replay the games.We'll get the same rating anyway. Who gives a shit? The cable bundle's done. This network's probably done. Is NFL network even going to be around in five years? I think that's a 50-50 proposition.But I was watching this Rams Colts ORG game, and you're just like, holy moly, this guy physically is a different animal. Now, here's the thing C.J. Stroud has proven for three straight years. Two at Ohio State and one in the NFL ORG. When a game is being played, and he's the quarterback, you expect him to be on the field. Until he proves us that he gets injured.I'm not betting against him missing games. He's proven to be a very, very durable player. Anthony Richardson PERSON is not. So there are major question marks, can he stay on the field?But there is no debating this guy's physical ability. And this guy's physical characteristics and upside, even relative to CJ PERSON, I'm not saying he's going to be a better player than CJ PERSON, but he is more physically gifted. So if he ever does get it right, and I'm telling you, if you just YouTube him against the Rams ORG,there were moments where you're like, God, he can get it right. Here's why, like, you're like, Middokcock, you hate Bryce Young PERSON, but you like this guy? Well, yeah, let's look at the Colts ORG. One, I think their roster can go head to head with the Texans ORG. Two, I think they have one of the more dynamic young coaches in the NFL ORG. So it's like, wait, he's got a great young coach who's also the play caller, and he's got a really good roster.Like, that's kind of what I bet on. So to me, he's got a chance, because CJ's already kind of in in the mix that all of a sudden we're talking like Anthony Richardson PERSON, like, geez, Colts ORG really got something. And then obviously last but not least would be Caleb Williams. Because the hype's there, the weapons on offense are there, the physical skills are there, the name recognition is there.Like he's much more famous than Anthony Richardson PERSON. You'd say, in a weird way, he's every bit as famous as C.J. Straff. So he already has the built-in, like Anthony Richards PERSON, because of the diminishment of college basketball and the importance of the NBA ORG draft. I mean, this year, the NBA ORG draft, unless you're just a nerd, you're notgoing to know one name beside a couple guys that you watch from March Madness. In the NFL ORG, we know all these guys. Anthony Edwards didn't play at Duke or Kentucky ORG. He went to Georgia, and their team wasn't any good. So to me, Caleb PERSON comes in with all the hype. I've watched basically every game he's played the last two years,at least bits and pieces of it. Might have turned off like the Notre Dame game in the second half this year.

Speaker 31403.66s - 1405.56s

But very, very awesome, man. He's got a boatload of it. Might have turned off like the Notre Dame game in the second half this year, but very, very

Speaker 21405.56s - 1557.74s

awesome, man. He's got a boatload of talent, and the weapons are all there. I mean, they drafted Roma Dunesay in the top ten to go with Keenan Allen PERSON and DJ Moore. You sign Swift PERSON, you got commit, you got some good offensive linemen. It's all going to come down to the coordinator and him.There's still a lot to be learned about him. Nothing bad. And Albert Breer wrote this really good article about the bear's pursuit of him, basically saying, like, when they went through the scouting process, a lot was, like, one thing Ryan Pol, he was at the Notre Dame ORG game, which is probably the worst game Caleb PERSON's ever played in his careerand was blown away how he wasn't pouting, how he was with his teammates, how he was encouraging. And then one project they gave one of the scouts, you know, in like February or March, was to call every coordinator he played the last couple years and get their opinions on how they game plan for him.And they also gave other scouts when you went to All-Star games, asked teammates, guys that he had played with either at Oklahoma or at USC ORG about him. And everything came back. Obviously, the coordinators were like, yeah, we changed the whole game plan just for this guy. And every teammate said positive thing.So everything I've read and I've watched him talk, someone sent me an email. I guess the high school he went to is like a really, really impressive school from an academic standpoint. I'm pretty sure it's a Catholic NORP high school. It's very serious high school. Like there's not much screwing around there.And you see that when you hear him talk in an interview setting. So I'm very bullish on this guy. I mean, I can't wait to watch these three guys play. Obviously, CJ PERSON already has built-in buzz, but Anthony Richardson, I think Colts ORG are going to be pretty good. I've been thinking a lot, like,what teams am I going to pick the division? I think the Colts and the Texans ORG are playoff teams. And I think the Bears ORG, a little more unsure just because of the head coach, but I think their offense is going to have some moments, even if they were to underachieve.And if they play up to their capability, they could be a 10-win team for sure. Like, why didn't I throw Jaden Daniels PERSON in there? Like, I wonder if it's going to be a little harder transition than we think. Like, I don't know. You know, I'm not anti-Jaden Daniels PERSON, but I could see, like, for a lot of guys, it's not just rookie of the year.I throw 28 touchdowns. Going to a team that's pretty bad, they got new coach. Cliff PERSON, everyone loves them. We'll see. That's all I'll say is we'll see.

Speaker 01558.88s - 1559s

Drake May PERSON is not going to play.

Speaker 21560.34s - 1579.16s

J.J. McCarthy PERSON's not going to play. Michael Pennix isn't going to play. So a lot of these guys aren't even going to play. So to me, and I'm not, under no circumstances would I include Bryce PERSON under this conversation. Allstate ORG wants to remind fans that mayhem is everywhere.

And then things leaked at like, yeah, I think we want this out. When I was at the Super Bowl, I went to cocktails with a buddy from the Chiefs ORG. And we were at a bar, having some drinks,just talking everything. Well, one thing we were talking a little about the game is like, you know, we really like our chances with our D.Bs against Dibo PERSON. Obviously, Dibbo PERSON, behind the line of scrimmage running, he's a great player.But in terms of running routes, we don't think he's going to be able to get open. And what happened? Dibo PERSON couldn't get open. And I'm not anti-Dibo because I've seen him play live. He is one of the most unique players I've ever seen.I watched him carry the Niners on his back to the playoffs in 2021. And he's made huge plays over the last couple years. But since he got the contract, he never has quite lived up to the height. And part of when you pay a player, you can't expect that player to be any different than he's been. And he was never Mr. Marvin Harrison PERSON runner-outs.He's not Devante Adams PERSON. That's not his game. But because of his coach and because of the offense, it worked. But sometimes the last thing that happens in a sports season, like the way you get swept in the NBA ORG playoffs or the way you get bounced in the NFL ORG.Or think about the Chicago Bears ORG. Maybe their decision was already made before that week 17 game against the Packers ORG. But if they were even on the fence, that game was the nail in the coffin for Justin Fields PERSON. I do wonder if Kyle Shanahan PERSON is justgoes at the highest level because at this point in time, it's not about winning playoff games, not about win the division. It's like trying to beat the Chiefs ORG, trying to beat the Ravens ORG, trying to beat a team that we're going to see in the Super Bowl EVENT or the NFCchampionship with an elite defense. Can this guy get open on a corner? And the answer is not really. You can't. He's not really is. He's always had some success against Jalen Ramsey PERSON,but the Chiefs ORG game was pretty enlightening. And when it leaked, they're like, hey, the 49ers took a receiver in the first round. Could they trade IUC or Debo? Well, it turns out they don't want to trade IUC ORG. Obviously, they don't want to pay them as much as probably he wants,but Iyuk is a player that can translate for 15 years. Runs routes, can go deep, can go short, can break tackles. It's just a very versatile, wide receiver running routes. Deep was not really. And I wonder if Kyle Shanahan PERSON was like, I'm tired of this crap. One, he's been banged up a lot.A couple years ago, he wasn't in shape. And then the biggest game, like, he's a non-factor. So when it leaked out, the Debo was on the trade block. One, they were never going to get enough to make it make sense to trade Debo. Like, no one's offering pick 27 for Debo Samuel this draft.But what if the 49ers, Kyle and John PERSON, wanted that out to be like, Debo, you better fucking really bring it this year. Because if you don't, like all these conversations about us cutting you or just trading you for not much after this yearisn't fake. It's real. Look at the books. Your salary cap hit next year is like $28 million. So I do wonder if it was a little bit of a message. Because when you look at the logistics of the trade,they would never have got enough to trade him. He still has value to them. But maybe they wanted him to know. Like this isn't really going to fly. Now the problem is, okay, it, to run more routes and practice, that's not really his thing.So, I mean, they're kind of in bed with this player. They had no choice but to pay him a couple years ago, and they kind of got to figure it out. And I also think that reflects why they took a route running wide receiver with the 31st pick in the NFL ORG draft. Because the guy that they'repaying $20 million a year doesn't really do that. And last but not least, rookie minicamp. I remember talking to a coach four or five years ago. He was a wide receiver coach at the time. He's now a coordinator. And he was like, rookie minicamp was the biggest shit show I've ever seen.No one knew what was going on. We had guys that are not going to be in the NFL ORG, you know, playing guard and safety, and it is just a zoo. You really are just trying to find out because you have a lot of undrafted free agents. You have a lot of tryout players because you've got to fill the roster, right? No veterans are there.Well, if you only had six draft picks and you only sign 10 undrafted free agents, you do the math. You can't run a practice with 16 people. You got to somehow find a way to get 30, 35 people there just to function. And no one knows the playbook. No one knows what's going on. Most of these guys, especially with draft picks, have been flying all over the country or out of shape, it's kind of a useless exercise. I truly believe that. Beside the mental spot,teaching your young guys the playbook. But in terms of anything to be gleaned from the field, besides just their physical size, I don't think there's much. If anything, the number one takeaway I would have as an executive would be, does the guy look to part one, and two, no injuries.I don't want anyone pulling a hamstring, getting themselves hurt, so when we actually get the veterans and we're running real practices, those guys aren't able to go because they have a soft tissue injury. So there is going to be, and it's the world we live in, a ton of reporters at this thing, because it's their job to go to these minicamps, hyping it up, or downplaying it. Like, this guy looked terribly, looks low. None of it matters. There has never been a practicein NFL ORG history that matters less than rookie minicamp. It's impossible to matter less. Like, you could argue OTAs don't matter that much. They matter dramatically more than this experience. Again, no one knows what's going on beside the coaches. No one. That includes your first round pick, your undrafted free agent,heads on a swivel. It's a little intimidating. It's the first time you ever put on an NFL ORG jersey. You're out there with, you name it, Mike Tomlin PERSON, or Mike McCarthy, Kyle Shan and Sean McVeigh. it's an intimidating spot. You're just trying to, like, not screw up. Don't let the internet fool you that something is dire or something is great,just because you see a post over the next 40. I'm not saying don't get excited, but it's more than negative.

At John Middlecough, at John Middlecough is the Instagram ORG. Fire in those DMs. Get your question answered here on the show. At John Middlecough, my name, Instagram ORG DMs. I think the big thing with May is that he's never had a one-on-one quarterback coach since he's always been doing other sports and didn'tcommit to being a quarterback until two years ago. Anyone who's seen his basketball highlights, he was a Division I ORG basketball recruit and his brothers play basketball. A lot of these college quarterbacks have had a quarterback coach work with them on footwork since they were 13. Now it's certainly possible that when he cleans up his footwork, that inconsistent accuracy could go away, much like it did for Herbert and Allen PERSON. But banking on that is still a big gamble.There are a lot more guys who can't get that fixed than there are guys like Herbert PERSON and Allen PERSON. The question now, are his bad mechanics baked in, or can he fix them with an actual NFL ORG coach? Well, I think this is a million-dollar question.I mean, this is the unanswerable question about drafts. When you get a guy in college that has some raw tools but needs to get fixed up fundamentally you could argue in any sport baseball something's wrong with a swingor pitching mechanics basketball a hitching a shot can that be fixed or is there a muscle memory component that can't be coached out but the reason these guys with elite physical attributes, teams are going to draft high,Anthony Richardson a couple years ago at four, Drake May at three, and look who wanted him, Kevin O'Connell and Dayball PERSON as well, is because they believe they can fix them. And if they fix them, you're set. Herbert, to me, was different than Josh PERSON.If you watch Justin Herbert in college, one, relative to Oregon GPE, their skill wasn't as great, coaching wasn't as great. It was pretty clear, like, he was a big time NFL ORG talent. Josh PERSON's inaccuracies. Now who he was playing with.Even though I saw someone post, I think it was on Instagram ORG, just like an eight-play Wyoming highlight of Josh Allen. You're like, uh, yeah. So, but football is less about the splash plays and more about the layups, right?Most of your plays in football are hitting a quick out route, hitting a slant route on time, hitting your checkdown wheel route in stride so he can get up field and the difference of hitting him in stride and him gaining seven yards on third and seven or making him stumble behind and he gets tackled and you don't get the first down because he only gains three yards. So the touch on basic stuff are where the fundamentals come in. This gets back to the best players, the two best quarterbacks I've ever seen, right, in their primes.Brady and Manning PERSON were fundamental savants. And now granted, they weren't runners, so they had to be perfect fundamentally. Drew Brees PERSON. So fundamentally, they worked on that 24-7, 365. Aaron Rogers got a little out of the loop the last year of McCarthyand that first year of LaFleur PERSON, and then they kind of got them back to the basics and he won back-to-back MVP WORK_OF_ART's. With, obviously, added his little Aaron Rogers flare because he could move better in those guys. But I would say fundamentals,no matter what you play, whether it's tennis on a volley, whether it's golf on a chip, whether it's, you know, being a great second baseman on turning two,always matter and always will. It's why the first period of football practice after stretching is individual, meaning the O linemen with the O linemen. Well, what are they going over? Stance, steps, D-Lyman get-offs,linebacker and D-Bs, drop reeds, steps, you know, basic placement of hands for linemen, quarterback, what are they going over? Footwork. Every single practice of every single, you know, football, every day in football at practice, it's the first thing you do. Before you go into group and unit stuff is individual fundamental work. NFL ORG to peeweefootball. Peeway football, you might spend even more time on fundamental. But college, if you went to Nick Saban practice or you went to a Belichick practice, the first period of practice once you break from stretching is all going to look somewhat the same. So it's very, very important. And how serious you take that stuff. Like when you hear these people talk about how serious Tom Brady and Peyton Manning took practice, they're not just talking about team when it's 11 on 11. They're talking about the individual portion. Hammering home, three step drop, five stepdrop, seven-step drop, my footwork in shotgun. So it's just like you don't even think, right? We talk about it in the golf role all the time. The more you're thinking about your swing, the more often you're not going to play. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning PERSON, when they ran a play, never thought about their footwork. It was ingrained the correct footwork. Obviously, sometimes you have to add lib, but what was Peyton Manning PERSON the best atwhen it came to fundamentals? The stretch handoff, he sold it where you didn't know it was going to be a handoff or not a handoff. They did that last year on hard knocks. Hackett PERSON ran the videos in the meeting room. Is this a handoff or is this a throw?And with Aaron Rogers, you couldn't tell. To me, that, I mean, that's probably what you're talking about, but all that, the fundamentals of playing the sport, before you can be a great player, you've got to be good on that. You know, Patrick Mahomes PERSON gets so much credit for being this like Farvian player. Do you know how much him and Andy go over the fundamentals on a daily basis, six months a year in practice? Every day. They hammer that stuff home.And rightfully so. I wanted, before I read a couple more Instagrams, I've gotten some, I've got a couple emails that I wanted to read just because these guys don't have Instagram. Hey John PERSON, love the show. You're inside, okay. College football question here. As the gap has never been wider in college football between the Power 5 and non-power 5,what are these smaller conferences even playing for anymore? Between NIL ORG deals and the portal, how can these schools even compete? The odds of them making the playoffs are almost zero. I got news for you as this playoffs moves forward. I don't think we will see non-power five teams get in. I think they will be asked out every single time. Wouldn't it make sense for them to get rid of the ridiculous bowl system and have themcreate their own postseason tournament? Kind of like the NIT ORG. The games would mean more, and they could crown a quote-unquote champion in the end. It would give more meaning to their season instead of playing in the potato bowl. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Well, I don't think we're far away from just seeing the big Power 5 be a group of 50 teams and then just compete to get to the, you either make the playoffs or you're done.I think we are, because the bowls are still going to exist even with the 12-team playoffs, like the random potato bowls. But I think within the next five years, I mean, things are, because the bowls are still going to exist even with the 12-team playoffs, like the random potato bowls. But I think within the next five years, I mean, things are moving at rapid speed now in college sports. We will see the big boys, the top 50 schools. However, I think it'll inevitably be like the AFC, NFC, the equivalent in Power 5 ORG,like the Big Ten SEC ORG, right? Notre Dame goes to the Big 10, Florida State, Clemson ORG, and these teams just kind of go to either conference, the ones that survive. And then the non-power-fives, I love that idea. Because once they do this,once they've gone to 12 teams, and this is the hard part because they don't have a commissioner, they don't have like a czar of football, you should not be allowed, like USC should not be allowed to play Fresno State or San Diego State ORG. You're non-conference. And same thing, Alabama GPE.You should only be able to play other Power 5 teams. Now you can play a quote-unquote crappier Power 5 team. If instead of playing Alabama, you want to play Mississippi State if you're USC or Kansas State ORG or whoever, you don't have to play Oklahoma ORG, but you should only be able to play each other. Can you imagine in the NFL ORG? It's like it's week two, and the Niners are playing the Memphis Stampede ORG of the UFO.You're like, what? What is going on? I think it's somewhat similar. Now, if you're Fresno State, you want to play USC ORG in Oregon because you get paid.But that shouldn't be a ladder anymore. And I think if I was a betting man, that will inevitably happen. And when it does, those teams 100% should all, the non-power 5 team should all play each other.And I love this idea. I had thought of like a tournament, but listen, I'm, I started, I went to Cal Poly, D1AA ORG. They have playoffs. 16 teams make it. And there's a bracket. And you crown a champion.It's usually North Dakota State, Montana, or South Dakota State ORG. That's what I would do. So I think you're 100% on to something there. I wouldn't be shocked if that inevitably happens in some form or fashion close to what you were saying. This is an email I got, but it was directed from LinkedIn ORG. I have a LinkedIn ORG page, by the way, go follow it.Just because I post some stuff. Huge fan, not because I, you need to read my resume. Huge fan of the pod. My two biggest passions are sports and marketing. Would love to chat over a call some ideas, a couple of examples of content to wrap aboutif you ever find yourself struggling to fill the air. This guy's filling my show. The NFL ORG dominates because it's the most relatable sport to humans and is solely driven by production and conducted like many companies we all work for, so it's relatable. With this in mind, football fans want to be as closeto the product as possible, which is the best problem to have in business. The draft dominates, why not add an eighth round, but with a nod to fantasy football, it's randomized snake draft and the order isn't known until 10 minutes before the round starts. Would add some intrigue to the late round mostly undrafted free agent picks.Kind of like that idea. Ability to pick a quarterback as a camera view from Sunday ticket so you can stream your favorite quarterback and watch the game through his helmet cam with the sound maybeVR the ability to trade franchise tags yearly i.e. the 49ers trade their 2025 franchise tag to the Colts for a second round pick. Colts then could franchise Pat McAfee and Peyton Manning PERSON in 25 as an example. Would give team like Matthew Like I threw McAfee and Manning PERSON. Would give teams control. Don't hate that idea. Don't hate that idea at all.If you're not using your franchise tag, you can trade it to another team that can then franchise tag multiple people. I would say, would anyone give up a one for the right? I think teams would give a second round pickif they wanted a franchise tag too, guys. That was a good little thought nugget there. Can you please explain to me as a Niners ORG fan how we're supposed to feel excited about this? When do we fix the offensive line? Where do you get the money to pay these not on the roster replacements when you pay Iyuk and Purdy PERSON?Let Trent leave, sign three different ones. Please help me understand this wacky draft strategy. What's the path forward for offensive line on this already less than stellar group? Well, they did draft an interior offensive linemen from Kansas GPE that can play guard or center. They've invested in Aaron Banks. He's got to be a starter.They invested a fourth rounder in Burford PERSON. He's not very good. But historically, you've been able to find functional guards and centers late in the draft and during the waiver claim period. Tackles a different beast. I can't fault them for not drafting a tackle at pick 31 if they didn't think there was a guygood enough to draft in that spot. And I'm pretty sure an offensive tackle didn't go in the next several spots. It was like wide receivers and defensive linemen and corners. So just because you need a Trent replacement, they do, because he's 35, 36 years old, he's not going to play forever. One, there's no replacing him.They will never have a better tackle than Trent Williams, unless one year they absolutely suck and get the number one pick, and there's Jonathan Ogden in the draft, 2.0. So there's going to be a downgrade when Trent PERSON leaves. But you can't force-fill that spot. That's bad business, because if you force a need, and here's the other thing.They lost to the Super Bowl because they couldn't block Chris Jones PERSON. True. Their offensive line on an individual basis is not great. They had the lead in the Super Bowl EVENT. So their ability as a coaching staff and as an offense to coach around one high-end offensive linemen in a bunch of randoshas proven to be pretty good. Hell, they got Mike McGlinchie $50 million guaranteed. Like, I would say I would trust their ability to coach these guys up at that position. If their offensive line was the reason they were winning eight or nine games, I'd be like, we got a problem, boys. These had the number one seat in the NFC ORG and went toe to toe with the chiefs.Now, their downfall was they couldn't block Chris Jones PERSON. I got news for you. Most people can't. So I hear you, but I think it's easy to just say that than in reality,like, I don't know if should they have traded up in the second round to get a guy? Well, what's the hit rate on that? You think you're just going to find like Lane Johnson? You know, I mean, sometimes you've got to get a little lucky. Maybe in one of your mid-round picks becomes a five-year starter.They found Lake and Tomlinson years ago, and he became a really good player for them and then getting a bunch of money from the Jets ORG. So you got to make those moves. Now, at tackle, that's not going to happen. And they have a weakness of tackle.Their right tackle is not very good relative to the league. Luckily, Trent PERSON is. And you just run to his side. The problem is he gets hurt. Then you're in a pinch. Big fan of the show.People love to debate whether top college football teams could beat some of the worst NFL ORG teams, which I don't think would ever be possible. But what if one of the great college football teams could beat some of the worst NFL ORG teams, which I don't think would ever be possible. But what if one of the great college football teams played a UFL ORG team? I haven't watched any UFL ORG, but I'm curious about the level of talent that's in that league. Well, I haven't watched the snap either, but my guess would be, let's use an example, Georgia a couple years ago,the team with 8 million pros, I think they had a ton that were like top 50 picks, would beat any team in the U.S.L. Michigan, they just had 13 guys drafted and probably another 4 or 5 signed undrafted free agents, would beat every team in the U.S. because J.J. McCarthy PERSON is a better quarterback than all those guys,and they have 6-7 NFL ORG linemen. The U.S.L. does not have 6-7 NFL ORG linemen. Most of the guys in the U.S.L are not NFL ORG players. So I think it is fair to say that the top teams in college football would beat UFL ORG teams. Now, if you just gave me, like, could San Diego State or could, you know, Arizona State ORG? Yeah, I have no clue.I would guess not, but who knows? But like, Bama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon GPE, would they beat them? I would, my first reaction is yes. Again, zero s would they beat them? I would. My first reaction is yes. Again, zero saps of the U.FL ORG. Minor league football is not for me.Big fan of the pod and hearing from your perspective. If the dolphins don't pay Tua PERSON, does taking a quarterback like Pennix PERSON, who is similar to what they already have, both are left-handed, so this was before? Or do they go with someone like Joe Milton PERSON?Here's the thing. I think you can not pay Tua PERSON and not drafting a quarterback high is also a smart move. I do not expect them... Let me rephrase that. I don't think they need to.Now, that doesn't mean they're not going to, but I do think the proper business decision would just be to play it out. And Tua knows, two is showing up to the off-season. Because he knows, like, what have I really earned? I'm a good NFL ORG player. I'm going to have a job as an NFL ORG starter for a while. If they don't want me, someone else will pay me. But I do think it's fair for the Dolphins ORG to go, is he worth investing this much in?When you see these companies, like in Fortune 500 stock market world, merge or pay for someone, they go, this company is worth $2 billion to us because we think that in the next five years,it'll 10x us or 5x us or generate X number worth of ROI over a period of time. I think you have to look like that with a quarterback. Can we do better? Is this the best we can do? If we get rid of this guy, could we upgrade?If we do pay him and it limits our budget, is it worth it? Is he good enough to beat the guys we have to beat? I think there are a lot of variables that you could ask yourself. That's why I get back to DAC ORG. To me, they've paid DAC and they haven't been able to get over the hump,and a large reason is because DAC ORG has underwhelmed in the playoffs. When you need him to play his best, that's what you're paying him for. He's a really good, excellent regular season quarterback. Going to Pro Bowls EVENT,putting up good numbers. He's a winning player. But there's a difference between a winning regular season player and a winning playoff player. Like, I even think Lamar took a little step this year.You feel better about him in the playoffs. But now it's time to go, if you ever want to win a Super Bowl EVENT, you're going to have to go to that legendary spot where it's like you have a flawless game against a couple elite opponents. We know you can do it in the regular season.I watched you do it this year, running circles around all these teams. You guys were blowing everybody out. What happens when we get into a playoff game against Patrick Mahomes PERSON, or Josh Allen, or Joe Burrell PERSON?And it's a tie game in the second half. Can you still play at that elite level? We've already paid you. You're already worth it to us, but now our next goal is to win the Super Bowl EVENT. Like the Dolphins ORG' goal now is to win a playoff game.And I think it's fair to ask, is Tua PERSON good enough to win a playoff game? And you could argue in the AFC, I don't know. Think about like the potential first round matchups. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, C.J. Stroud PERSON. Harbon, Herbert PERSON.You're not going to have the best quarterback in any of these games. Question from Minnesota ORG. How do you see JJ's rookie year going? Start week one. Start by Thanksgiving. Sit out the year.We'll love to hear your take. Observation. In Russell Wilson's final year with Seattle ORG, he was seen sitting next to Godell many times on TV during the Super Bowl EVENT. I feel like he was positioning himself to be the next commissioner. Obviously, his chances of that may be gone,but I believe that his angle, given his positive and PC persona, do you think there's any truth to that take? For Russell Wilson PERSON to even have a slimmer of hope to be the next commissioner,and again, I've never even seen that or heard that or thought that. He would have to go work for the league office for a long time and get in with the NFL ORG owners. The only commissioners in sports, Manfred worked for baseball when C. League ORG got out. Adam Silver was David Stern's PERSON right-hand guy.Roger Goodell worked for the league for 30 years or 20 years or whatever since they're mid-early 80s DATE. These leagues do not hire people that aren't league employees and that don't know the dirt of the NFL ORG. They're not hiring outside CEOs. This isn't corporate America GPE here.They only hire from within. I don't blame him. So I would say he has no chance unless he's willing to go work for the league office for 15 plus years. And then, yeah, who knows?The JJ PERSON thing's tough. I don't think he could beat out Sam Darnold PERSON in training camp. So if Sam Darnold PERSON beats him out, I think then it's all predicated on wins and losses. Usually these guys come in when the team's not doing well. Think about Lamar PERSON.Came in because the Ravens ORG weren't playing well. Flacko PERSON looks shot. Mahomes PERSON never did. Why? Because they were like 11-12 win team with Alex Smith PERSON. So to me, it's all based onSam Donald, who to me is a wildcard. If you tell me Sam PERSON sucks and they're one and four, I'd believe you. If you tell me Sam PERSON's solid and their team's good and they're five and five and they just keep rolling with them,I'd believe you too. So I think he's the hardest, like, Drake May PERSON's going to play this year. Why? The Patriots ORG aren't going to be that good and Jacoby's not good enough. And so you just factor in, they're much more likely to be two and six. Minnesota could be, but I also could see a situation where they're just competitive. The talent around them on offense, offensive play caller is their head coach. He's proven to be a good head coach. Hell, he was competitive with random quarterbacks last year. So I'd be guessing. My guess is he plays. I would say later than sooner, though,because I think they'll be competitive early. And if somehow Darnels PERSON just got awful, he looks like the Jets Panthers ORG guy, then you'll see him before Thanksgiving. Because that's the way the NFL ORG works. Because the fans have a lot of juice.Because the fans will be like, they'll start booing, calling into sports talk radio. And you're like, oh, why does that matter? Because that's where the owner listens. And the owner's not going to go, we just draft this guy in the first roundto just watch Sam Darnold PERSON. So if you start slow, the rookie plays. Rinse wash, repeat. That's just how it happens. If you're in the mix and you have even a bridge quarterback, that guy will play.Question for the bag. Would you consider doing a statement on today in NFL ORG history? It could revolve around big plays or games, controversies, contracts, or just simple facts about coaches, players being fired or released. It would be cool for folks not as well-versed in sports history to get a window into the past.Thanks for the content. As a military officer, I look forward to listening on the commute every day. We appreciate your service. That's probably not really my jam, to be honest with you. Not really something that excites me. Obviously, during the off-season, likeseason like May 8th this day in NFL ORG historypeople took the day off during the season I guess it would have more relevancy but there's just so much stuff going on I just long way of saying it's probably not going to happenthis isn't history pod but again appreciate your service why don't you think Belichick PERSON's assistants have been successful coaches This isn't history pod. But again, appreciate your service. Why don't you think Belichick PERSON's assistants have been successful coaches? With a highly successful team like the Pats ORG, you would imagine that there would be many successful future head coaches on the staff.Then you have a team like the 12 Redskins who played one game in the playoffs and lost. But under Mike Shanahan, the Redskins had five NFL ORG head coaches, Kyle, McVeigh, LaFleur, McDaniels, and Raheim Morris PERSON. With that much star power on the coaching staff, you would imagine that teams would be playing for Super Bowls EVENT. Well, their team wasn't as good.If you gave that staff, Brady, Gronk, Edelman, McCordy, High Tower, all those guys, they would have been a lot better. So you do, like, this is professional sports, you do need talent on the squad. I would also say that's somewhat of a unique situation. Sean McVeigh is what?37, 38 years old? Well, in 2012, he was 27. Kyle was in his early 30s Mike McDaniel was probably 30 years old max so the guys you see now are much different coaches than you saw thenand I would imagine Kyle PERSON would say I became a much better coach when I left my dad when I went to Cleveland GPE for a year then I went and worked with Matt Ryan PERSON. It's like any young person in any industry, you kind of grow with time, you hone on to your skills. Think about Sean McVeigh. He was like a position coach then, coaching tight ends. Well, four or five years later, Jay Gruden PERSON comes on. He got to call the offense.So he got to learn by doing. It's what we say at Cal Poly ORG. And that helps you become better at your craft. So would Sean McVey have been as good of a coach with the Rams in 2017 and 18? If Jay Grude PERSON never let up call plays? Probably not. So I think it's easy to say this group of guys were all there together.Ultimately, Mike was the boss, and who your head coach is matters a lot, and their quarterback ended up getting hurt. If RG3 hadn't got hurt his rookie season, and they just would have had that level of athlete and player for a couple years, I think they would have been more competitive.But I think they win a Super Bowl EVENT? Probably not. But could they have made the playoffs several years in a row? 100%. But I also think, you know, if you just look at any successful person that's under 45 in 2024, if you looked at them in 2012, they wouldn't be that same person. They might have been a guy that most people thought, like, this guy's never going to make it. This guy's got no shot.I don't care what business you're in. So I think you got to factor in time, different experiences. I mean, a lot of them bounced around, went to different places, learned from different people, and just improved on their craft. So it's not like a player where it's like, yeah, he's kind of ready to win right now. Usually coaches get better with time.Look at Andy Reid. One three of of five super bowls over 60 years old started coaching when he was like as a head coach in 1999 now they had a lot of success in philly but i think he'd be at first tell you i'm a way better coach now than i was in 2004 so i think it's easy to play that game and that graphic is so famous because mainly the three-headed monster of, you know, LaFleur PERSON has had a bunch of success with Rogers and now Jordan Love PERSON. Sean McVeigh crushed it won a Super Bowl and Kyle PERSON's been winning pretty consistentlynow for five years. I just think you look at, if you looked at me in 2012, or I looked at you in 2012, whatever you're doing now, you know, it's like, what? How'd you end up there? I think that happens a lot. There's a lot of 25-year-olds right now struggling, 28-year-olds, 30-year-olds, where in 12 years, you're going to be in a dramatically better spot. You'll be better at what you do. You'll have gone through experiences.I was just talking to my girlfriend about this because she's going through some business stuff. And, you know, I would say learning hard lessons is one way to say it, but I just say learning good lessons. The faster you learn, whatever industry you're in, like, yeah, it's kind of cutthroat. Whoever you're dealing with, first and foremost,is going to care about themselves and their family more than yours. And quote unquote, trying to screw you, get over on you, fuck you. However you look at, I don't mean sexually, I mean like financially. You just, those are good lessons to learn. And they make you better with time to realize, like, to become numb to certain stuff, to know what to look for. They harden you. Whether you're a coach, whether you're a salesman, whether you're doingwhatever. So the more experiences, like, pro sports, you have a short window to maximize. For most of us, in all the industries we work in, we should be, and coaching falls under this too, you should be dramatically better at 40 than you were at 27 or 50 than you were at 35, because you just know more. You've seen more, you've had more experiences, good and bad. And bad experiences make you better. So I betKyle learned more about himself the next couple years when they were crappy than he did the one year with RG3 PRODUCT. He never run that offense again. He did it for a split second with Trey Lance and he hated it. He's like, I hate this crap. This is not what I do.You know? So I just think time. None of those guys, if we would have made all five of those guys, and we'll see about Rahim in Atlanta. But the other four head coaches in 2013 after the two. I bet a lot of them would have crashed and burned.And I bet they would all say that. Like, yeah, I wasn't ready. No chance. I would have been overwhelmed. But when they got their chances in 2017 or 2019 or 2021 or whatever year they got them, right, LaFleur a little later, McDaniels is a couple years ago, Kyle and Sean in 2017, Rahim Morris didn't get his till 2024.And they'd say I'm much more equipped now of going through it all. You should want, it sucks at the time, but professional struggles, I would say, are what make you or give you the ability for future success. Professional success, I mean, it doesn't teach you that much. I'm not saying you can't learn from when you're being successfulof what works and double down, like obviously. But when things are not going well and there aren't really answers, you kind of got to look at yourself in the mirror and like, we've got to figure this out. And then you at yourself in the mirror and like, we got to figure this out. And then you look back a year later and like, God, I figured it out.That wasn't that hard. Or God, that was that last year, I really changed a lot. I can't do that anymore. I need to do more of this and less of that. So I hear what you're saying. And that picture is going to be, I would say, put up on television screens during football season.Probably forever. I mean, in perpetuity. Until the day I die. I mean, that picture is never going away, even when those guys are retired. But I think it's easy to play that game, and I don't necessarily think it's fair. The Volume.
