Starting point is 00:01:56 More draft tape with the college guys from Move the Sticks. It's Daniel Jeremiah. Move the Sticks, by the way. If you've been listening to Move the Sticks, you need to subscribe to the new feed, part of Omaha and ESPN, new partnership. for this terrific podcast. So again, subscribe to Move the Sticks with our guy, DJ.
Starting point is 00:02:15 What's up, man? Good to see you. Goel, thank you for that. It's great to see you, man. How you doing? Just excellent. Every day gets better than the previous day. So that's just what's going on in my world. I was listening to your most recent pod.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I love that you started with Mahom's stuff. There's a lot of breakdown. A lot of things we want to get to here. So we'll do some NFL's in college on the back of it. I feel like more people, it should be talking about this. I still think it's one of the strangest things ever. We can talk about the way defenses have been played in Mahomes and the lack of personnel and the receiving game, the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:02:46 And I'm just like, there's no way that he's never going to have those years. Like, I can't fathom that he's not going to have a couple seasons that look like the seasons from five years ago. From what you've seen from this offense, are we going to be treated to maybe one of those elite Mahom's seasons, which, again, I don't know what that means for the Chiefs, but it would probably mean a return to the playoffs. I think if Kenneth Walker stays healthy, we are.
Starting point is 00:03:13 I mean, they just went out and established the run the first week. They play with an extra offensive lineman. They play with a defensive lineman in the back field. And it's like, okay, we're actually going to stay committed to this thing. We're going to scare you out of all the shell coverage that we've seen for the last handful of years. And they get you in single high where they get more favorable looks. And they're still popping explosive runs off of that. So it's like, man, you know, this is not a fake run game here.
Starting point is 00:03:36 This is real. not only getting, you know, on schedule, they're popping explosives. And now, you know, the rest of the passing game comes into play. And there's more space and they've got, you know, a chance to hit big plays. And the other thing I thought watching it is you're seeing guys kind of settle into their roles. I didn't really know who was what. You know, you had Kelsey kind of doing his thing. But outside of that, like, who's your vertical receiver, who's working underneath?
Starting point is 00:04:00 Now they kind of have guys in those roles where they're comfortable. And it's not like Mahomes, you know, skill set is eroded at all. I mean, he still throws the heck out of it. Yep. I've loved watching them the last two weeks on offense. I have, and I hope this is real because I don't want. I don't know. I just want the chiefs involved.
Starting point is 00:04:22 What would your reservation be? What would you like if you're going to say you're worried that it isn't real? There's not a number one here. You know, I think Rice is hit or miss. I think generally Rice is disappointing. I mean, I'm not even talking about the stuff that's disappointing. It's off the field on top of everything else. But based on that, I think,
Starting point is 00:04:40 Worthy's limited. I think Thornton, there's always been a bit of a disconnect there. I think Kelsey will look older later in the season. And I know that they've, you know, Noah Gray's not a bad number two tight end at all. I think the offensive line, like, it was just such a mess. You know, it was such a mess last year. It was like, all right, Patrick, just save us every single one of these. I mean, it's not shocking that he got hurt because you'd watch those games being like, what? Like, this isn't, there's no way. And then when he gets hurt, you're like, well, that was, that was fairly obvious. So maybe it's a weapons personnel thing outside of Walker. But like I'm with you. And I was listening to what you're saying. Like this is, Mahomes is young enough that there's supposed to be another stretch where it's like, okay, these guys are filthy again. And I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I think it's fun. You know, I want a huge third down in the AFC championship game where it's Mahomes and third and nine. And you like, you know, that was always my thing with him. They had a third and 12 against the Colts. And I was like, hey, this is, we're back. I'm like, I think they still have. a good chance.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yeah. And a lot of times, and he did it against the Charters a bunch when I was in the stadium where it would be he'd have one conversion late in the game, a third and seven plus, even all the way up to, I think at one point in time, it was like third and 14 or third and 16, and he got it with his legs. So, I mean, he just take off and you're going to play so, you're going to play so coverage heavy and be so worried down the field, and he would just make you pay with his legs. And he's, you know, coming off that injury, he's moving really well.
Starting point is 00:06:09 and he's able to get those free yards that way. Of all the things you said, I think the one that maybe I would keep my eye on the most is the Kelsey thing. Because I think if Kelsey could maintain what he's doing now, that's the key to the whole thing, because that's your third and six, someone who can still win off what we've seen early. There's a little more quickness than what we saw last year.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I don't know if he's in better shape, healthier or whatever it is. But that's the one matchup I feel good about where kind of knowing where it's going and you could still utilize him and get him the ball. So of all those things, that would be the one I would keep an eye on. And he's looked great. He's looked great in those short yard situations,
Starting point is 00:06:47 making somebody miss on the tight end, or excuse me, on the touchdown last week. You know, there was just a moment there where it was like, okay, maybe this is a little crisper than the start of last season, I think, or was it two seasons ago where you were kind of like, I think it was a little sluggish. I remember talking to somebody in their personnel department in the press box during a charge of chiefs game,
Starting point is 00:07:06 And I'm like, man, I remember when you guys were the fastest team in the league and you guys looked so slow. Like the whole team just looks slow. And that hasn't looked like that at all through two weeks. No. All right. Let's talk about this group of guys that may have helped or hurt their cause because coming in, you know, we had a CJ conversation about the contract. You've got a Bryce Young conversation, Jaden Daniels as well, who unfortunately is hurt. Again, let's start with Bryce because I would say.
Starting point is 00:07:36 hey, the division stunk last year. Yes, they made the playoffs. That gets baked into this idea that, like, Bryce has turned to corner. If you look at any of the EPA stuff, you can look at just some of the traditional stuff. It's like, look, he's still a bottom third quarterback. Do you feel differently about that two weeks into this season?
Starting point is 00:07:52 I would say three weeks because I'll count the playoff game. You know, if Stafford doesn't have that comeback, I mean, I could say there's an alternate universe where, you know, he's viewed as having had the comeback win over the Rams in the playoffs. that's a major milestone for him. And then you know, maybe there's a deal that gets done. I know they talked about it. It's not like he didn't offer him something.
Starting point is 00:08:13 It just wasn't a number that he felt good about. But maybe they get a deal done last off season just off of that when Matthew Stafford changed that. So you have that game, which was a positive. And then you come in to start the year. They're literally one of the three best offenses in the NFL right now. And I think it's what, like the chiefs, the bills, and the Panthers. So they're taking steps. And I think that, you know, with him, it's, it's, it's.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I think he is what he is. Like he does, he does things really well in terms of, you know, maneuvering inside the pocket. He's, he's got a really good feel for buying a little extra time in there.
Starting point is 00:08:44 He's incredibly accurate. Those are the things that you saw at Alabama. But he's dependent. He's going to be dependent on having the pieces in the weaponry around him. And I think they've done a good job. They've not only drafted well and they've developed well, but Coker's a really good player. McMillan has been a really,
Starting point is 00:09:01 really good, solid player for him. Now you've got Waller's jumped in there and shown he's still got a little something left. So they've put really good pieces around him. And then he's just kind of doing the point guard thing. And I think that's, I think that's a, I think it's a winning football formula. And I, if you were asked me who's helped themselves more,
Starting point is 00:09:19 I'd said there was 11 candidates for extensions this year, the most that we've seen in a decade plus, maybe ever, of contracts that were on the line this year to be done in the off season. Baker already got taken care of so that wiped one off. So there's 10. I'd make a strong case that Bryce Young, helped himself through two weeks more than any other nine guys. Does Baker drive you crazy?
Starting point is 00:09:43 It's just a roller coaster, you know. I'm a believer from a scouting side that some of your, you know, your personality shows up in your play and there's, you know, the hope that you kind of kind of just mature as a player on the field and I thought he had reached that point, but it's just too, he's too loose, with the ball. It's one of the things I praised Drew Locke at, you know, for when he's stepped in for these two games. I thought he's shown some maturity in his play and not trying to do too much. And Baker's kind of, you know, kind of falling back into some of those habits through a couple
Starting point is 00:10:17 weeks. Who's, who else has helped themselves a lot? Because I like this on some of the contract extension stuff because I obviously think there's probably two other quarterbacks we should touch on. Well, I mean, I'm thinking more like, gosh, good thing you got the deal done with, with Brock Purdy, you know, when you did, because he's kind of jumped up and leveled up. So good for him getting that accomplished. Of the other guys that were up, I mean, gosh, I'm trying to run through. So Caleb's hurt, Jaden's hurt. Drake has not had a great start. Bo Nix has been one good, one bad. So that's been kind of a mixed bag. Stroud has, you know, he's thrown for a ton of yards, just having won games. Thankfully, their division stinks. I was trying to, I was looking at it last year.
Starting point is 00:11:00 They were 0 and 3, and then they go to the playoffs. And I'm like, okay, they start out cold again this year. and then you look at the rest of the divisions 1 in 7th. So no harm, no foul. And it's also like, we don't do a very good job after the first two weeks of like going, okay, but if this team were 7 and 4
Starting point is 00:11:18 and then had Buffalo and Cincinnati back to back weeks in the middle of the season. Right, like, and then when 0 and 2, you'd be like, oh, you know, they need to get right. It's a human nature, which I totally understand, but there's too many times with O and 2 starts, we don't look at the schedule. I mean, I know no one in Houston goes,
Starting point is 00:11:33 like, are you serious? like we had the Josh Allen show come in here and we hung in there and then apparently since I was going on defense which I think the returns are I mean that Tampa game was a little weird but I just think we should do a better job of going like hey and to the top of everything else man yeah and atop everything else with the division thing maybe this is me being like I'm just reluctant to give up on Houston because I think eventually like in a way that we talked about my homes not at the same level like there's no way Stroud just sucks right I just as bad as it was in the playoffs. Like, I just refused to believe that he sucks. And I've kind of liked what I've seen from
Starting point is 00:12:08 him. And I imagine this defense is going to get right. And the schedule is going to have a stretch where we're like, oh, hey, Houston turned it around. They might have been the exact same team. They just weren't playing Buffalo and Cincinnati to start the season. Yeah, I had tweeted something out about this because you're talking to friends in the college world. And then I'm talking to my buddies around the league. And it's such a drastic difference. Like when you talk to people in the college space and like Oregon loses to Oklahoma State. And it's like, oh my gosh. Like our, I mean, And we might, we might, we might suck. Like we're just, it's, it's a major concern.
Starting point is 00:12:37 We didn't look good against Boise. We, we lose to Oklahoma State. Like, our season's, like, going up in flames. And then you talk to teams that are 0 and 2 and like, yeah, we're just kind of feeling our way through, kind of finding what works and what doesn't work. It's just like a, it's a total different level of urgency in those two sports. All right. So let's talk a little bit more about Stroud then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Like, how would you feel about having to do the $60 million average? extension, which is probably what it's going to be if he has a decent season after this year. Yeah, I mean, ideally, you'd love to see a step taken in the postseason, but I think that's going to be fake leverage that the team will try and use if we want to see, you know, this, you know, move forward once we get into big games and into the playoffs, but at the end of the day, it's a bluff because you're going to pay him. Like, there's just going to be, you know, there's not another alternative. They're going to win, you know, enough games. They're not going to be in range to get what's going to be perceived as one of the top guys.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And he's going to be much better than the other options that you're staring at. And then you're going to also sit down and say, okay, we know where the numbers are now. And this happens all the time. But if you project out and go, okay, what happens when Josh gets his next one? Dax's number is so big. They're going to have to redo that to kind of, you know, get that back in line with the salary cap and to be a little more comfortable there. There are such massive deals that are going to dwarf whatever you feel uncomfortable
Starting point is 00:14:01 giving C.J. Stroud that you're just going to get. give it to us. Yep. I don't think we need to add anything else to that. There's something for everyone when it comes to Reese's. Rees is in fact the standard, those peanut butter cups. As soon as you see them, you know. I think there's times where people see them in a bowl around the holidays and they go,
Starting point is 00:14:22 I may not normally do this, but I'm doing it right now because you know when you unwrap it, you know exactly what you're getting, which is in NFL terms, exactly what you're getting when you're getting Prime Patrick Mahomes. Delivering to everybody. Spraying it around. Handing them out like Reese's minis. I think he could get a spiral with Reese's minis. I don't think it'd be hard for Patrick Mahomes whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:14:47 But that's the whole point, is that you know exactly what you're signing up for, whether it is third down or the beautiful marriage of chocolate and peanut butter on that first bite. Rees, the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Go get Reese's wherever you shop. between new defensive units back there. Maybe we can kind of stay in this for a little bit. Kind of units that you've gone, hey, this surprised me in a good way. This surprised me in a bad way. So feel free to plug in whatever any of that stuff is. But, you know, revamp Dallas, defense, new DC, the whole thing. How would you compare your expectations of what you've seen from Dallas
Starting point is 00:15:25 through two weeks to say Cincinnati, who overhauled a ton of things as well? And maybe I'm putting too much on the Houston game and not the Tampa one. but watching that full Cincinnati game against the Texans, I was like, all right, you know, this actually may be one of those times free agency in the off season where they were able to put together something because clearly anything different would have been better than what Cincinnati was running out there last year. Yeah, I'll start with Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:15:47 It is really different and it's different because you have a unicorn player. You know, Dexter, I don't know what he weighs, Ryan. He looks like 400 pounds. Maybe he's 370. He looks enormous out there. And he's playing a bunch of snaps. I went through this last. week I think he played 52 snaps going through and watching it and you cannot move him.
Starting point is 00:16:07 He can stack double teams. He doesn't move an inch. And then you try and run, okay, we got a big kind of clog in the middle. Let's just let's get him moving laterally and let's run some outside zone. And he just beats the cutoff blocks, gets a tackle for loss, can't block him there. And then as a pass rusher, you know, it's five times in a row where he puts his hands in your chest and just walks you back to the quarterback. And then you brace for that. and all of a sudden he's somehow miraculously at that size
Starting point is 00:16:33 as like a little slap swim move and he just beat you with his quickness. And I started thinking like, you know, I was around Helodi with the, with the Ravens, just a rare big guy at 350 pounds. Will Fork was one of those guys.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I thought there was a stretch of maybe a brief stretch like two or three years where Sean Rogers was one of those where you just, this guy's a nightmare. And they're literally, the Chargers had one of those guys, didn't they? Oh, Jamal Williams.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Jamal Williams was a great. player. I played against him in college, by the way. He was at Oklahoma State. Didn't go well for your guy on that one. I didn't know it at the time. It was R.W. McCorders. It was R.W. McCorders at Corner. I'm I'm only living in this world for a second. Two things. Number one, it was R.W. McCorders at Corner. They had Jamal Williams. I don't know who any of these guys are. I'm at Northeast Louisiana as a redshirt freshman. I don't remember if I started. I know I played the majority of the game. But all I know, we lost like, I want to say like 2814, something like that. There's a lot of stories in this game. I throw, we set up a double pass like a screen to the quarterback, right?
Starting point is 00:17:34 So Marty Booker's my wide receiver who played for the Bears. Marty is a huge arm who's a high school quarterback. So I spit out a little quick screen to him. The line all comes over in front of me. It's a throwback. We're at like the 50. I mean, I'm walking in the end zone. I just walking in the end zone.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I just toilet bullet. Just the worst moment of my athletic career hits me in the chest. I drop it. cost myself a receiving touchdown just just killed me uh and then r w mccorders might have taken two puns back for touchdowns in that game that's all i can remember we need one of these stories to be good we need a good ending because whenever we run through some of these players you be like oh yeah i played against him played against him and then you just go like did i mean i know you played in college but we beat colpeper i beat i threw forward 300 yards and we beat dante colpeper in a shootout against ucf so
Starting point is 00:18:23 that's our that's our that was a highlight of my moment then the next week i think we played Tim Lester, who was a quarterback at Western Michigan at home. And it was oddly a very cold game in Louisiana. And we were all from, I'm from San Diego, the rest of our teams from the South. And we were bundled up, hand warmers, long sleeves. And all those Lily White Western Michigan kids came out with no sleeves on. And Lester's out there, just like a little tank. And we lost.
Starting point is 00:18:49 So that was a tough, tough one. Okay. Well, I like the shootout story. I'm glad we get to hear that. And I forgot, too, like they grabbed my mom. Ralph Murphy at the first round out of Clemson, too, on top of that D-line, which, you know, he had some production last year, too. They've got guys, and then Boye-Mafé comes over from Seattle. They've got, they've got pieces in there for Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:19:12 The other one that you mentioned, Dallas. Yeah, so now let's do Dallas. Yeah, I love their pieces up front, and I love Barham at linebacker. I loved kind of that group that they've collected their downs, you know, anxious to see how they were going to use him. I went to training camp and I got kind of intoxicated by the talk there and looking at that group. And that I guess I just, I have no peripheral vision. Apparently, I never actually looked out at the corners to the left and to the right when I was there visiting because that first game, I was like, oh, gosh, like they're going to have a hard time being a great defense that they can't cover on the outside. Then they had some coverage bus.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I'm like, I just must have just been in the euphoria of that beautiful Oxnard, you know, 106 degree weather that day that I was up there. But I left going, I just way miscalculated on that being a better defense. And then they look better the second week. So I think there's a limit on how good they can be just because I don't think they have the dudes on the outside. But, I mean, they don't need to be great. We've said that. You know, I think everybody's saying that song. It's like the offense can be so prolific that, man, if they're 14th, 17th, whatever in defense,
Starting point is 00:20:17 they're going to be really, really good teams. Had you ever gone about, I mean, you know, I know the teams that you've worked for in the past, but that is why I want to bring those two teams up kind of at the same time because you go like, look, Cincinnati, if this is right and Burroughs healthy, which I know is a huge if, like I thought that Sunday afternoon was just a nice little reminder of what this guy's capable of in a brutal set of circumstances. Like he's just, I shouldn't maybe frame it that way, but that was a very hard game. You know, that's kind of like what I took from that.
Starting point is 00:20:45 It was like, this is a game where there's just so many quarterbacks that are going to have three, like they're just going to have a terrible game in here. And he's finding a way. and this is why he's so special. And you go, okay, well, if we have that, can we just be 15th on defense? And then whatever you think of DAC, which I think, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:01 I think we've updated this whole thing. But, you know, he's going to put up huge numbers. He's nasty if those receivers are right. You know, I expect more from Citi. With Pickens, I know there's going to be a couple weeks in there. Like, is it happening? But he was so good last year. Tighten's good, too, man.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Yeah, Ferguson. I think, you know, there's something. something to be said of like if we know we can pencil ourselves in for like 28 to 31 points like we don't need to hold everybody under under 24 and do you think that there's teams that are like hey we've invested so much in our offense let's just try to be average on that side. Well I think it's almost a play style more than it is like let's try and be average and that that goes back to college. You know when when the college offense is exploded and people can look at that as whether that was the leech, you know, kind of coming on the scene or whether
Starting point is 00:21:52 that was Kiffin and Sark at SC and then they kind of spread around the country. But offenses just started exploding and then defenses just became turnover obsessed. Like we can't stop any of this stuff. It's impossible. So let's just try and be a little bit more aggressive on our defensive calls and steal a possession or two. And then let's spend the vast majority of our time, you know, red zone defense and try and force some field goals instead of touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Like that kind of felt like the emphasis changed in college football where it used to be, you know, defensive coordinators pride themselves on yards and then all of a sudden now, just pay attention the next time you hear a defensive coach talk about yards. They never talk about yards. They talk about third down red zone. It's just the way you have to play now. Do you know who has the number one
Starting point is 00:22:36 passer rating in the NFL right now? Not QBR. Passer rating. Brock would be my guess. He's been so efficient. It's a very good guess. He's fourth. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Number three is Josh Allen. Number two is actually Jackson TAR. Passer rating, I always thought was a little funky. You'd be like, that's weird. And this is where Drew Locke is number one right now. Oh, there you go. Maybe it's not weird to you, because you seem like a Drew Locke guy. Yeah, he was, I pulled up my report on him, and all the skill set stuff was there.
Starting point is 00:23:11 He was like my 24th player in that draft. And I literally talked about the things that needed to change was he just needs to be, you know, more mature. he's to make, you know, better decisions. Don't be so reckless. It was kind of like a little bit of a, you know, it just need to be rained in. And that's what I've seen to these two games is I've seen, okay, he still has the size and the arm strength
Starting point is 00:23:33 where he can get pressure and hang on his back foot and get the ball anywhere that he wants to get it. He's a really gifted thrower. He's a good athlete. You know, it's a basketball background, was a big time hoop or all those things. But it was just, it was too much. He was trying to do too much.
Starting point is 00:23:47 He'd force balls. He'd be reckless and careless. And I thought in that game against the Patriots, he was better at understanding the assignment than Drake May was in that game, which was we both have really good defenses. This is the type of game that we're in where, you know, field goals and punts are going to be what this game's about and just protect the football and we'll try and find our way to the finish line. I thought Drake tried to go beyond that and it bit the Patriots. And I thought that Drew Locke actually showed a lot of maturity in that game to understand what was required. And then it's a great way to start the next one. You go out against the Cardinals and you hit a double move on Buda Baker.
Starting point is 00:24:22 He takes the cheese. It's 82 yards and you're off to the races. But yeah, he's always had that ability. I don't know how many more games he'd have to play. I think Sam, you know, he could be coming back this week, next week. It's not going to be much progress. As of this taping now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:38 So he's going to be back soon. But my question is, and I don't even have the answer to it, is how much more of a sample size would you need to say? see if you are one of those teams that's in the QB market after this year to say, you know what, we'll roll with him and give him a year. It is wild that he basically got one year. And that's what happens to a second rounder, which it's, there's just not many second round QVs at all.
Starting point is 00:25:03 You just take them earlier, right? And so he's one of those second round cases, which made sense. You know, nobody was like outraged me like, how is Drew Locke still available? You had him 24th overall. So maybe you were a little surprised. But he gets that one year and it's kind of like an even touchdown interception split like 16, 15 or something. And then he's still with Denver, but like that is, I mean, the sad thing for Denver,
Starting point is 00:25:24 although it also proves like whatever you think about getting wrong. Like the Russell Wilson trade, the contract, the money, the assets, it's an across-the-board F. There's no other grade that you can give that. And then it's like, well, if Bo Nicks were healthy, like they might have been in the Super Bowl last year. So you can get through these disastrous decisions. But it's kind of funny, like, they have Drew in the building. They kind of give them that second year.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And then that's enough even after that third year to be like, we need to do something different and go grab an established guy. And you're like, all right, well, this makes sense. And look, I give Mike Sandow all the credit in the world because he was just like, this is not, they're not trading for Russell Wilson anymore. Like this new version is not it. And, you know, he was right about that. Speaking of things that are not it, are the Chargers just a bad football team?
Starting point is 00:26:13 man it's been a rough rough watch it was when we were doing the game last week the stat that I was keeping an eye on was it had been since 2007 that they had had consecutive games of 14 or fewer points which that's what happened here I mean this for the Chargers organization for the last 20 years
Starting point is 00:26:34 offense has not been a problem they've been able to score points no matter who the quarterback who the coordinator is whatever it is they've been offensively able to produce points and it's just it's too much. The way I described it was, you know, with this system, there's, you know, this system can grow and evolve. And I felt like they were trying to take this system out on the highway the first two weeks of the season. It's like, dude, we got to drive around the neighborhood
Starting point is 00:26:57 a few times here. Like, let's try and simplify this thing a little bit. And there's a long season where we can build it out. But it was like, we're going to show you every, you know, shift in motion and formation and personnel group. And we're going to put it all out there at once. And there's too many snaps where Herbert is worried and trying to direct traffic and looking behind him to see where the back is the back offset is he behind me and then all of a sudden they're like snapping the ball. I'm like you've looked at everything except for the defense like you have not had a chance to just set your eyes on what they're doing defensively. Now there's a there's a swing that he hits to Amory in Hampton where they're showing blitz off the left side. It comes and either Hampton is
Starting point is 00:27:40 going to stay in and block or you're going to release him. Well, he's released, so there's literally nobody there. But Herbert doesn't get there until he's like he's kind of looking middle, looking right, and then he's getting hit and then gets it out to Hampton. And it's a good gain. But like when you're when you're dialed into what's going on and seeing the field and seeing the picture, as soon as that guy comes, Herbert normally is going to see that and just get it right up, laid up over him.
Starting point is 00:28:01 And now we're getting a 30-yard gain instead of whatever it ends up being, you know, eight or 10-yard gain. So that, to me, was just complex doing too much. And then defensively, you get a new coordinator. and there's just been too many coverage bus and there's no marriage between their Russian coverage. So they're sending extra rushers, but they're playing 15 yards off.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And Jacoby Brissette and Kurt Cousins have been around the block. They're going to see that stuff coming. If you're going to give them outlets and easy answers, that's the way they would love to play. Blitz me and play off coverage. And then I don't have to throw the ball too far down the field and I've got guys wide open. I know the matchup was tough for all at left tackle,
Starting point is 00:28:43 but I'm just like, there's no way this guy isn't good now. Yeah, I wouldn't freak out about that just because I've seen Crosby do that to everybody. And I think the fact that Alts first game was against Crosby and he held up really well against him. And it was maybe 12 or 15 one-on-one snaps. And I'm sure Crosby's such a psycho competitor that that's probably aided him. And there was a little extra juice there. I mean, he drew the, he drew the three false starts, which you can equate to the, presence of Crosby and that's in
Starting point is 00:29:15 Joe's head. You also equate it to the pre-snap stuff they've got going on and you've got a rookie center. How much does that factor into him having those false starts? And then obviously the safety is what it is. I mean, Max just got into his chest and he just was in a horrible position and ended up just grabbing him
Starting point is 00:29:33 and you get a safety. But I don't know on those false starts, if that's just Joe Alts lost it as a player. As much as it is, he's got a lot going on in his head with everything going on. What do you think of New England at Jacksonville? Because you touched on there a little bit that you didn't seem to like what you've seen from Drake made the first couple weeks. Yeah, I mean, I think getting Trayvon Henderson going a little bit is something that gives me some hope there.
Starting point is 00:30:01 But to me, with Drake, I think that so much it was geared in the off season two to getting AJ in there. And we never got a chance to see that really take off, you know. So that was, I'm going to give them some slack on that of kind of an adjustment period. Is there anything to like, hey, Jacksonville's at home, they just went to Denver. Like, I don't like New England at all in this spot. Well, I think Jacksonville's really good. I think that was a terrible matchup for him. Why?
Starting point is 00:30:34 Well, I just thought you were catching Denver off of an embarrassing game against Kansas City, where they just got beat up. And I did physically they're good enough for that show. shouldn't happen. And I thought you saw a reaction game there. And I thought offensively, it was neglect of Jalen Waddle. And that was no way that was going to happen in this game. And they got him going early. I mean, one of the things I pointed out was watching it the previous week is they have some quicks, some quick hitters designed. So if you think about like a bubble screen or a tunnel screen, there's no read. The ball's going to one player. You know that when you break the huddle. And it was
Starting point is 00:31:07 Pat Bryant. They were spitting the ball out on like a little tunnel screen or bubble screen to Pat Brian, I'm like, well, if you're going to do that, why is that not Jalen Wattle? Just gets him a free touch and then let the guy who's way more dynamic and explosive have the football on his hands and get going. I think he had three targets in the Chiefs game. He had 10 targets in that one. And there's a deep shot where he gets held a little bit, no call that could have been another 50, 60 yards. There's a deep out to Jalen Waddle that Knicks missed.
Starting point is 00:31:36 He was close to having a 200-yard game in that one. And it felt like off of what happened week one, Denver's too small. and too well coached that they were going to make those, you know, those pivots and those adjustments. And they knew the importance of not going on too. Yeah. I thought it was the most impressive, like, performance of a, hey, they look completely different after the half. And it was, it was pretty clear.
Starting point is 00:31:57 It was like, you got to start taking some of these 101 shots to bow. And whatever the reluctance was, at least the messaging got through to them, that it's like, if we're finding the man covers 101 stuff, just throw it to our guys over and over and over again. And they like those matchups. it was nice to see the Rams kind of look like the Rams so if we stay with Denver
Starting point is 00:32:15 in their matchup to kind of start the season here no Nukua granted look the Giants come in people are a little excited I know that I was kind of like there's more on this roster I like like this is better personnel
Starting point is 00:32:27 that maybe I was thinking about when I was going through previews and studying some of the depth charts or teams here and then they lose Jackson Dart which is not surprising but it's not in the Jackson Dart type play he just gets crushed
Starting point is 00:32:37 and then even during the game broadcast there's some weird stuff with that I don't know if it was that the Giants didn't actually know or whatever. I just don't understand why teams would be telling reporters like, hey, it's going to be fine. It's like, what is that one hour window where you think you've misled everybody and how that helps you competitively? And then now it's like he could be out for the entire season. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Doesn't matter. But the Rams Denver matchup off of the first two weeks. Give us some insight. Yeah. I mean, first of all, on the dart thing, just to go back to that, I'm guessing, you know, they do that ACL test on the knee. and I'm guessing once they did the ACL test and we're like, oh, the ACL's intact.
Starting point is 00:33:13 You can, the doctors know that based off of, you know, they don't even need to go to the MRI. Most times they can do that by just a stability test. And I'm guessing what he tore was not the ACL was something else that put him down for the year. So that's my guess on the early optimism that wasn't accurate. On the Rams thing, dude, I was, I told you I was going to
Starting point is 00:33:29 give you some 13 personnel nuggets, Ryan. I know that's why you're excited. Alert. 13 personnel content. 13 personnel content. If you think he's seeing a lot of tight ends on the field this year, trust me, it's true. So if you go just, I'll rip through it real quick. The last 10 years, like so three tight end, you know, one back, three tight ends,
Starting point is 00:33:49 13 personnel. This is the percentage of usage around the league. If you go back 10 years, we'll work back to front. 4.8, 2.6, 3.2, 3.9. 3.0, 4.8, 3.0, 3.4.4.3.4.4.4.4.4.4. This year, if you thought last year it was starting to trend up, it's more than doubled. and teams are averaging, gosh, I think it's 5.4 yards per play on that. And then if you look at the teams that are doing it more than 15% of the time,
Starting point is 00:34:17 think about who the office coordinators are and who these guys are and what the reputation is, there's five of them. Cardinals 15.1%, Ravens 15.8, bears 17.9, bills, 30.6. And the Rams have been in 13 personnel, 42.7% of the snaps. When they took the Ohio State kid in the second round after having like Ferguson is their number three tight end, he's not even active. He's their fifth. They got five tight ends on the roster, man.
Starting point is 00:34:50 And think about it. Like McVeigh, obviously McVeigh and LaFleur, they're connected. So those are two of the top five. Then you got Ben Johnson and, and his coordinator, Declan Doyle's with the Ravens. So if I was going to ask you the three that I think everyone would agree, the three top minds in football, right? now offensively Kyle Kyle is in there. McVeigh's in there, Ben Johnson. Marty Mooringway.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Yeah, exactly. Who did you say? It was, uh, so when you go, like if McVeigh's doing this and his group's doing it, and Ben Johnson and his group's doing it. And then, oh, by the well, the bills are, are humming along as, you know, an absolute buzz saw. They're doing it. Maybe other teams ought to do it.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So anyways, what I'm getting at is the Rams are just playing one-on-one with Devante Adams, and it's going to be Pooka's going to get some of that action as well. And then after they hit, you know, you with so much of that 13 personnel, then they spread you out and go empty. They chip with a back and a tight end, and now Matthew Stafford's going to survey the whole field and kind of do like the just pick and stick throws. So their offense was never going to be an issue. And then defensively, they were just a little tighter in coverage.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And Aaron Donald, I don't know how, dude. I don't know how I thought for sure he'd lose a step or he'd get physically kind of tossed around, neither of which happened. He was explosive. He was getting knocked back in bowl. and he played more snaps and maintained his level of play, which to me is crazy. I don't usually get excited about loyalty programs. They promise big rewards, and then it's like you actually have to eat 30 pizzas just to get one free.
Starting point is 00:36:19 But here's the thing. The Shell Fuel Rewards Program is actually super practical. You're already getting gas. You're already grabbing takeout. You're already buying snacks you definitely don't need but absolutely deserve. With Shell fuel rewards, you just get rewarded for that. And not a fake point you'll never use way. it's actual savings on gas and the saving stack.
Starting point is 00:36:39 So it's not like one sad little discount as you fill it up, you eat, shop. It all piles up into real savings at the pump. Joining takes less than three minutes in the Shell app, and you'll save on every fill after that, literally every single one. Join the Shell Fuel Rewards program and save. What other game are you most excited about for week three? Let me pull up the slate here because I'm, I just know the challenge. Chargers are getting ready to go to Buffalo, and that's going to be a tough one.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Let's see, see what we got here. I'm worried about the Padres and the Dodgers, to be honest with you. Yeah, I know that. Houston at Indianapolis. Yeah, Indies, I mean, it's like one of the worst defensive performances through two weeks in the history of the NFL. Is that good? That seems kind of troublesome. And you're going to have a hungry.
Starting point is 00:37:30 It feels like a get right spot for Houston, that's for sure. A hundred percent. So that one, man, the Steelers is going to, I'm curious to see. D.K. Metcalf for my money has been the most disappointing player for two weeks this season. He's can't catch, dude. He's like, I mean, Aaron looks old and has not looked good. But if you factor in just the drops from DK, it's at least respectable. And there was a lot of excitement coming out of camp that he was going to have a good year.
Starting point is 00:38:01 and then he's been just brutal. And their offense is a complete mess. So that's an interesting one. Let me see who else we got here. Well, Philly, Chicago is unfortunate now because the Kayla part of it. Yeah. Lose a little luster on that one.
Starting point is 00:38:21 A little bit, yeah. By the way, Philly, what's your take on Philly? Because I feel like they're kind of in the perfect spot where they're just going to kind of, they're going to win some ugly games. kind of feel around, find their way. They've already seen two quarterbacks in their divisions go down.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And everybody in the NFC West is going to be a battle royal. They're going to just rip each other apart. And it's going to be a physical toll that it's going to take on those teams. Now, we've seen that I thought last year Seattle was kind of battle tested through all that. But there's also the case where you could see, you know, some depletion of your roster just because of how physical those games are going to be. And Philly can kind of just lay under the radar a little bit. I mean, they don't even talk about them in Philly.
Starting point is 00:39:01 They're talking about LeBron and the Phillies going into the playoffs. Like the Eagles are like third on the list right now. Yeah, that is weird because it feels like they are a little under the radar. Maybe it's because the first two matchups are Grants in Washington team, we don't think is very good. And then, I mean, look, they could have lost that Tennessee game. So maybe there's some. But now they're going to play the Bears without the court. Like, it's just, they're going to just, you're going to look up and everybody's going to be like, who are the best teams in the league?
Starting point is 00:39:25 And you're going to rattle off the teams. And you go, well, what about the seven and one Eagles? You're like, the Eagles are seven and one? No. It's like those Atlanta. Well, it isn't anything like that because I would never compare Philadelphia to Atlanta, but there was all these these Falcon seasons. I go, how are there seven and four?
Starting point is 00:39:40 Yeah. Like, I don't, how did that happen? And that's not going to happen because Philadelphia is more on the radar. They're a better football team than some of those. They've got real dudes, man. Yeah, like some of those NFC South seasons, it was just whoever wanted. I always was like inherently dismissive of them, like the AL Central where I would go, all right, cool, you won the division, like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:59 So I think I'd still rather be, at least have somebody that's testing me a couple times a season than kind of skating through it. And then you get to kind of the big boy tournament. And you're like, all right, our division stunk. And we kind of ate on like a really good schedule and all that kind of stuff. But I'd say like the Philly Tennessee game, if that were a Monday night or a Sunday nighter, that would have been processed an entirely different way because you go, okay, what am I supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Because, yes, Philly is overlooked because they've been around. And we understand like how this stuff works where I don't think anybody's going to be shocked at Philadelphia is in the Super Bowl. It's just that they've gone through a bunch of different things and we're kind of bored of the whole thing. And so you have this NFC contender with new things that are happening and you're wondering like how Hertz is going to look. And it depends on the possession. But I'd say this at least for Hertz is that he had to answer any of the mistakes. Like he's answered in a big way through these two games when they've needed. them too. And maybe that's more important
Starting point is 00:40:58 than anything else that's happened in these games, even if it's sort of stranger. Like, how did you almost lose to Tennessee? Yeah, but they got the ball. I was in the press box at SoFi and Charter's games getting ready to go and I'm watching I think I had the red zone on my computer and Money, Smith, our play by play guy
Starting point is 00:41:16 sitting next to me and he's keeping track some of the scores and he's talking about Tennessee. And I'm like, well, if Hertz gets the ball back, they'll just go down and score and win the game. Like it's just, it's what he does, it's what they do. And it was just Devante Smith just kind of poop, boop, poop, poop, right down the field. And they find a way to win games. And I had Howie on, I think on my first podcast.
Starting point is 00:41:35 And I'm like, dude, if I had to ask you, just hurts. Everybody's, he's so nitpicked and so disgust. Like, if you were going to just boil him down, like, what's the best attribute that he has? Like, what is the best thing about him? And he's like, he's, you know, it sounds cliche, the guy is a winner. Like, when it's the winning moments, he's really, really good. And he literally doesn't care about, you know, stats and whatever the game requires. If he has to play and rain and win, he's not going to throw the ball.
Starting point is 00:42:02 He's going to tuck it and run it 14 times. He's going to throw for 80 yards and we're going to win games. But the guy is really good in those big moments. And, you know, there's going to be two or three games where they'll find themselves in a shootout. And he'll kind of, you're like, I don't know, he threw for 3, 340 in this game. Like, I didn't know they could even do that. Why don't they do that all the time? And it's like, they just kind of do enough to navigate through games and win games.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, they're really good on third down right now. Some of the offensive numbers, you know, but look, it's two weeks in. You could say, hey, lesser opponents. They played with 10 guys week one. I mean, Lannon Dickerson was, should not have been on the field. Like he's, and he even self-admittedly was like, that was embarrassing. Like, that was terrible. I'm not healthy.
Starting point is 00:42:42 He goes on IR after the game. I think that was, I almost excused whatever happened in that game. I think Barclay had 85 yards. I don't even know how he got 85 yards in that game. They were playing with four offensive alignments. Yeah, that was. that was something that was definitely talked about. I mean, I think it was like the first thing Nate Tice,
Starting point is 00:43:01 when we hit on Philadelphia, he was like, okay, well, Land of Dickerson, like, I don't know what's going on. Oh, dude. Yeah. There you go. So it was evident. When you watched it, it was like, ooh. Okay, so you brought up D.K. McCaff.
Starting point is 00:43:13 I don't know if you caught Bruce Feldman's stuff before the season started where he was going through like, hey, who's a title contender, who's a surprise, right? Who should win the Heisman this year? who is, who should be the most paid non-quarterback in college football, right? And so the answers were Jeremiah Smith. Now, granted, he's talking to all of these coaches from all over the country. And in particular, one anonymous Big Ten coach said, it's not Jeremiah Smith.
Starting point is 00:43:42 I'm paraphrasing here, but I'm going to give you what it is. He was like, all you have to do is, like, play somebody over the top, and he's D.K. Metcalf. And I was like, this is wild because this is somebody who is an actual defensive coach in the Big Ten that's watched Jeremiah Smith now for two seasons and is comparing him to D.K. Metcalf, who, by the way, and I think you were part of this group too, like people were looking at D.K. going, how is this guy not like a top 15 pick? You're like, because the tape that he had was very go. It was a straight line. He was not even close to being a polished route guy.
Starting point is 00:44:14 So in a way, like, D.K.'s career is impressive. It's a credit to him, even if he's been so bad this year, as you've explained earlier. I can't fathom working, imagine, like, imagine, like, like working in football professionally at that level and watching Jeremiah Smith and then comparing him to D.K. Meckham. Yeah, I'll tell you what's emboldened him on that, though, is he's seen Marvin Harrison Jr. And where he was picked and the expectation and him not do well come out of that same program. And that's what's giving him the courage to make a statement like that. They're totally different players. But it has nothing like if you want to go, oh, big, Ohio State, like all of these numbers and all of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:53 You're like, we want to do the Ohio State thing. So because Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a disaster that somehow that, like, there's stuff that happens. Remember the Big Ten running back thing that was going on? You were probably working in the league. And there's a long time ago. Wisconsin running backs. You were just like, this is dud after dud after dud. And then Larry Johnson gets in the league.
Starting point is 00:45:10 And you're like, all right, I guess we're back now. So I hate any of that stuff. Feel free to Florida. Airway quarterbacks before Mahomes, remember? That was like, that was a thing. Yeah, that one seemed to be kind of accurate. It got me. I got caught on that one.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Screens and scrambles, man. It was all screens and scrambles. And then it turns out he's pretty good. Oh, with Patrick. Oh, okay. I thought you meant on like somebody that you had brought in when you were working in the NFL. No, no, no, no. Did you guys have any air raid guys in your resume that you drafted?
Starting point is 00:45:47 No, I don't think so. He's got all the pros. Derek Anderson, we didn't draft many quarterbacks where I was. That's true. That's true. That's true. Before I got to Baltimore, Brady Quinn got drafted before I got to Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:45:58 So I honestly, I think it was Derek Anderson. And then maybe one more, like late, late round. I like Derek Anderson. You didn't make a Pro Bowl. Six round. That's a win. No one makes the Pro Bowl. So that's hard to do.
Starting point is 00:46:12 But go back, go back to the D. He's not D.K. I go back and pulled up my notes and you referenced it. D.K. ran three routes. It was goes, slants. Go further. And post. Like that was it.
Starting point is 00:46:24 It was slant post go. Like he never had to hit the brakes. If he had to hit the brakes, it was not good. He couldn't drop his weight. He was a locomotive, big, extremely big, stiff and fast. And he could, you know, so those were the things. And he was like my 18th player. And he had the neck and that's why he fell into the second round.
Starting point is 00:46:43 But I was like, look, don't ask him to do the other stuff. He can do enough damage with these few routes and be a productive, effective player. But Jeremiah Smith can drop his weight. He knows how to, he's got polished. He knows how to set guys up. He's got more juice getting when he has to stop and start. Like even simple stuff like that. And now he's, he's a freak.
Starting point is 00:47:05 But the Marvin thing is weird, by the way. That's a weird one. Any guesses? I can't believe it. I mean, even his rookie year, like, he was solid. There was some stuff in there, right? Yeah. Yeah, you could find some good in there.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Now he looks so sluggish, disinterested. No urgency. Can't get away from anybody. The effort has not been good. We were talking about this the other day. If you looked at the four whiteouts that were on that team, so based off like draft grades, it would have been mine,
Starting point is 00:47:34 if I'm looking at myself, would have had like Marvin 1, would have been Garrett Wilson 2, Alave 3, JSN4. It's completely the opposite. JSN, clearly the one, Alave, the 2, in a discussion with Garrett Wilson,
Starting point is 00:47:50 but you'd probably go Alabe. it would be three and then a huge gap and then Marvin would be four. Would you trade for him if you were running a team and he said, you want Marvin for... This is Philly. This is he's from Philly. He's from Philadelphia. Like this is the classic...
Starting point is 00:48:07 I'm not familiar with his father in Philadelphia. Yeah. I think he could kind of get a chance to resurrect his career out there. Okay, so if you were, If you're Howie and they call and say, hey, give us a second rounder for him. No, I don't think you get this. You're not going to get based on what he's looked like. Yeah, I mean, to me, you're talking about like a four that turns into a three with some decent production.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Okay. It's crazy for a guy you took that high, you know, but he's like, I just saw him. I just prepared for their game and you're watching the Cardinals game. And he's like the fifth option on that offense. It's not even, they threw him one go ball. That was it. You just wish if you were a coach, you'd be like, hey, do you hate this?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Could you just tell me? Yeah. If you don't like football, that's fine. We'll move on. Yeah. Yeah, just let me, I know you're not supposed to say you don't have fun out here and you hate it. But you'd be doing me a huge favor and our quarterback. Like, just tell me, like, we'll get you in 10 routes.
Starting point is 00:49:09 But, like, we'll just let Jacoby know that you're just not super interested in catching this stuff right now. Let's do a little college here. I went a little later than I thought I was going to go. So if you have the time. Yeah. Let's go. What kind of conversations you think you're going to be having about Trinidad Chambliss around draft time next year? I mean, I've already had some conversations around the league about him.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I don't know guys who don't like him. I haven't heard, you know, I haven't heard the negative side of it. The age is going to be where people are going to bang him on. He's just under six feet. But that's, you know, it doesn't bother people as much anymore. I think the fact that he's, I believe he's got big hands. He's got a thick lower body. like he's, you know, he's closer to 220 pounds and he is 200 pounds.
Starting point is 00:49:54 So he's kind of got like a Baker Russell Wilson's build to him. And he's got elite, elite arm talent to make every type of, you know, layered throw, drive the ball. On schedule, he's done things. Off schedule, he's got some magic to him. So, and then everything about him. And then some of this probably comes with the age and his journey that he's traveled. But everything you hear is like he's mature, he's an adult, you know, all those things that, maybe derail some guys. He doesn't have any of those concerns. So, you know, sample size,
Starting point is 00:50:26 he's going to have plenty more games in big stages against really good defenses to, you know, to show what he can do there. So I said over the summer, Ryan, he was my favorite player to watch over the summer. I'm not saying he's like the number one picking the draft, but I'm like, he was just the most fun tape to watch was his tape with what he was doing. And I think it could translate. I was getting asked in the lead up to the season, is there any way this guy could be a first round pick. And I'm like, yeah, look at the guys that have gone in the in the first round. A thousand percent, he can be a first round pick. Now it's just a matter of, you know, where he kind of slots in. Is Camario Taylor better than any of the quarterbacks that can be drafted?
Starting point is 00:51:02 He's a freak, man. Like, that's one of those ones. He's, he's a sophomore. So we'll, you know, second year player, we'll see, we'll see him in the next year's draft. But I was thinking two things. number one, there's very few guys where it just looks different, like the way the ball comes out. And I think it's a trajectory thing, whether it's a 20-yard throw or a 60-yard throw, the ball trajectory-wise doesn't really have to change. Like, it's just, he has got so much rotation on the ball. It is spinning so fast. Looks like it came out of a jugs machine.
Starting point is 00:51:35 And it does not have to, he can throw just firm balls all over the field. And I don't even want to do this because I don't want to. and put this name on him because people will just say that you're killing him. But it reminds me of when Jamarcus threw a football, like for all the reasons it didn't work out for Jamarcus Russell and they're numerous, watching him throw a football was an experience at LSU. Like that looks different. It just looks, it looks weird. It looks like, is that a regulation football? Like that's, you're literally watching it. Am I watching this on 1.25 or is this like that doesn't, that doesn't compute when you're watching video all the time?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Who's your favorite player, non-quarterback? Charlie Becker probably be up there for me. No way. He's fun to watch, man. He's got a lot of tools in his bag. Like, he is big. He's got a second gear when the ball goes up. He's got like a track background, a hurdle background.
Starting point is 00:52:34 So he's got legit, you know, real track speed. But he tempos routes. He understands how to set guys up. He's efficient, you know, getting in and out of breaks. and then his ball skills and his ability to adjust and contort his body down the field are as good as you can see. He's got incredible, incredible adjustment skills. So I watching the Raiders the other day,
Starting point is 00:52:56 and I'm sitting there thinking, I don't know how many games they're going to win. They're off to a 2-0 start, but that would be awfully tempting looking at what that team needs. And if you're picking up there in the top 10, I would love to reunite him with his quarterback. What do you got to Leonard Moore, Notre Dame? those are you know he's one of those guys that you don't see a lot of when you see like the body type and skill set of pat sir tan you see you know Gonzalez was like that coming out of Oregon he wasn't quite as as polished as certain was but those you know stingly you know as a bigger corner there's just rare guys that are that big in like 200 pound corners or 6162 that have that fluidity and they just move so easily.
Starting point is 00:53:43 easy and it's hard to find those guys. I mean, he's, he's exceptional. And to me, he's someone, you can kind of build your whole coverage plan around. You can just set it and forget it. Just leave them over there and let him go. How many of these guys, like, are you already starting to look at like a Dante Moore and go? Yeah. Maybe not a first round. Like when he went from number one overall pick, I don't know what the arch tape says, because I'd say the first half against Ohio State, the tape would be terrible. And I think the second half, as we know, the comeback was incredible. But, I mean, there was so much stuff in that first half.
Starting point is 00:54:20 I'm like, what is this? Yeah, I would say, let's start with Dante. I think Dante's kind of, he's been consistent in the good and the bad through two weeks, where the things that you like, he is, he's a gifted passer. Like, he's someone who can, you know, take whatever's required of a throw. So if it's an up and down throw in the middle of the field, he's got touch to be able to do that. He's got enough arm strength where he needs to drive it out. the perimeter. He can do that.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I like the trajectory and loft. He puts on his deep ball. It's a pretty ball. His issue is very simple. It's the same. It's been that way through two games. I questioned it a little bit last year and it's really crystallized this year, which is, can you beat a free rusher? It was the same question we had on Stroud until the Georgia game at the end of his college career. But when space is condensed, he can't get away. He doesn't have, he just lacks kind of that short area of quickness. And that's not to say you've got to take off and run for 50 yards, but can you sidestep a guy? can you create it all?
Starting point is 00:55:19 Like it's just on platform he's been good or even kind of on some design movement. But it's just the game is so much more condensed in the NFL and you're going to have those three to four plays a game where you're going to have to be able to just maneuver around the free guy. He has not been able to do it. And it's not like they're playing the elite elite of the Big Ten. So that's a major concern for me.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And like I said, it was a Stroud thing as well. And then he showed in that one game like, okay, I don't know why, but he just has not shown this ability until now, but at least I've seen him do it. I have yet to see him do that. So that would be my major concern with him. And then on Arch, Arch has like traits out the wazoo,
Starting point is 00:56:00 like just with the size and the arm strength, the ability to run. I just think to me when I watch him, he gets better in games the more he plays, and I think you're going to see him get better in the season the more he plays. He needs to play. Like the stuff that doesn't look right to your eyes,
Starting point is 00:56:16 to me is just playing more ball, getting more experience and seeing it. But he's got a huge arm. And he's stepped up to some big moments that they've had early on, which I like to see. But some of it is just, okay,
Starting point is 00:56:30 he needs to see this trap coverage where they're trying to bait him and things like that. I think he just plays more. I think he'll eliminate some of that stuff. All right. Nice little primer there for 27. A quarterback primer.

Let me tell you what's required. Life advice. Email addresses, life advice, RR at gmail.com. Kyle and Sirruti, both in the hizzy. Thanks for joining us today. Sure, yeah. I don't hear you're not say that a lot. Not in the, not in this anchor voice either. in the hissy you know who knows you can start something here
Starting point is 00:58:50 bring it back yeah all right you guys got anything nothing uh finished my golf league last night um
Starting point is 00:59:02 I got something but finish my golf league I think I am second to last place which was really important to me really you know really a stressful round
Starting point is 00:59:14 But, I mean, autumn golf is just amazing, by the way. This is my first time really dealing with that. Really, really the best. And then it really is. Then guys are like, it's autumn rules, and it's like you're just taking gallery drops. And, you know, for a guy like me, that's huge. It's getting 10 strokes.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Yeah, let's go. Great lie. Thank you. So Rudy seemed to tease it's something. Yeah. Do we want to talk about your budding social media selfie video? situation. Do you want to just address it? The Gitmo. There appears to be nothing that I do that has to do with my face or body that is not judged. I mean, I know that primarily sex has been a main theme on
Starting point is 01:00:03 why the show has done so well. I get it. You know, when Tate McCrae adds five pounds, she's going to get heat. And when I have a bad angle, because the expectation is that I'm going to look so good all the time. And it doesn't look as good. I totally get it. But I don't understand the confusion on these Reese's videos. I mean, people are going deep, like really, if they think I'm about to go on like suicide watch, and I'm like, it's, Halloween is around the corner. We wanted to make the video spooky. I was going to say, the lighting was a choice. I did it too late. You guys are on all day and said, we need the Reese's video. And I said, if we need it today, don't worry. Because I thought I was going to go to the Rams game and then I didn't go to the Rams game, which I know is shocking.
Starting point is 01:00:44 and and then we did it later at night and people are losing their fucking minds. But the crazy thing is that Reese's video at night is within a week of the beach video, which is a completely different setting, same person. So I don't, I don't know what to do about it.
Starting point is 01:01:02 You're just too dynamic, dude. You're just too dynamic. You know what I should do about it? Which is what I talked about was Shrew last night. I was like, I don't care. I do not care why I'm used to it, whether it's the Utah. azimir number or it's the the legends stare down we're just going to keep we're just going to keep
Starting point is 01:01:23 pumping out the content i was going through well one first off engagement race probably got to be through the roof so rhesa should be you're welcome yeah yeah sorry sorry has written a word yeah right um so maybe you know just big brain activity right there uh what was i going to say oh the other thing was I was like looking through I hit up Tom one of our producers because I was looking for the pitchers that you took at Super Bowl last year. And I was like, oh yeah, maybe we'll like look through these see if we could update some stuff, yada, yada, yada. And those are the funniest pictures I've ever. I like, we should just post them. We should just post them like they are so funny. There's like I think I found like one or two that I think are like okay. I mean, first off,
Starting point is 01:02:09 you're just doing the arms across like big arms move, basically 90% of the pitchers. But Not Loran Landry, though. You know, like I'm not putting the hand the back behind the bicep to try to make them look bigger. I'm not saying it's real or not real. It's just like you got one, you had one move basically. That was it. There's like 20, there's like probably 25 pictures. And there's pretty much the same face, the same arm situation.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And slightly different, slightly different. I wouldn't even call it a smile. It's more of just like a look that you kind of give. So he loves them. So he loves these pictures. I haven't seen him. The attachment wouldn't open. I sent you the best,
Starting point is 01:02:43 the one I thought was the best one. I thought the picture was fine. But then we saw the Netflix. Like, I didn't even realize, I mean, this is sort of a strange story. Let's just say someone from my past hit me up.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Was like, were you, do you look like this now? What's going on? And I had never seen it. And I looked at it and went, yeah, I don't think I look like that.
Starting point is 01:03:07 But I have, I don't give up. I don't give up on a lot of things. I've given up on this. It's just what it is. is we're pumping out the content and you just can't you can't worry about it you know yeah i think that's the way to do it and um i mean the reason that we had that initially too is because you hadn't really taken professional photographs and like i think the last one i had was from like
Starting point is 01:03:30 riscilla and canal um and you know and then before that's like when you had hair so like we can't really couldn't really use anything so we just got we just got we just got we just get a draw we're We could. That would put people on their toes a little bit. But so we didn't even have a pitcher. So like, oh, yeah, we'll do like a rendering of sorts. And that's how I got to that. If you would one point had hair, why is it there's another punishment that comes
Starting point is 01:03:53 with this that I can't have myself represented with. Maybe that's the move. I've got a picture from 01 where you'd be like, dude, you legitimately look hot. I want you to send that one in the group chat. I mean, you're 100% and everything. How about if I, just from now on, if I go on Calhurt show, I go on Dan Patrick's show, I use a headshot from 2001. That would be very funny. That would be, it would be actually very funny.
Starting point is 01:04:19 I think that's what we're going to start doing. And I'm brandy to start using lettuce pictures. I do have a buddy who does the same thing. Like, dude, I had sick hair. I was like, cool, man. I don't want to take that away from you. No one could like that from you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Thank you, Kyle. Like, is it, like, so now you're telling me something that I used to be. I can't even claim that. No, I'm not saying. I'm not saying that. I don't want that out there in the universe. It's not like it's a dating profile. No. You know, here's what I looked like at a different time. Yeah. Nobody has to throw out their black book, I don't think.
Starting point is 01:04:51 That's still who you were as well, you know? Fair. Right. That kind of had a great time back by the day. So, anyway, broke the internet. So good. It's fun. All right. Let's go with a 98 right down the middle. Jim Stats, 20 years old, 6 comma 3. Oh, we've got a, Euro on our hands, 80 kilos. Tore my rotator cuff in the gym a year ago,
Starting point is 01:05:17 so I haven't able to hit upper body. We could bench 80 for 10 reps before that, which I believe is 175 in the imperial system. I have known most of my mates since kindergarten, and we all grew up going to the same school and playing in the same soccer teams. As a result of this, our parents are also friends. We're two years out of high school
Starting point is 01:05:36 and have all gone to university. He lets us know that that's college, in parentheses. or gotten full-time jobs. One of our mates has worked the past two years as a teacher aid for a local primary. That's elementary school. A few months ago, he brought it. Look, the guy's thorough. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Doing kilograms, the imperial. This guy's on it, man. The kilograms is helpful. The rest I got. 6.3 is not cool as 6-3. I'm telling you that right now. No way. That's not the yank in me.
Starting point is 01:06:09 A few months ago, he brought up the fact that he likes one of the other teacher aides he works with, she is 35 years old and has three children who go to the school he works at. He has since started dating her and has told us he loves her. We have
Starting point is 01:06:24 gently been trying to give him a reality check that this relationship will either go nowhere or he will end up being responsible for providing for three kids that aren't hers. Wait, I think he meant to say that aren't his. Yeah. Right. She also told him that he doesn't want any more kids, so he would never have kids of his own. He says that isn't a
Starting point is 01:06:42 problem to him, but it feels like a big decision to make it this age. He is also a friend who you never see again once he's in a relationship. He's only told about four mates about the relationship, and it hasn't even told his parents who he lives with. We know their reaction will not be great as they are heavily religious. What are we doing in this situation? Try to talk them out of it, let it run its course. Are we crazy for not wanting a date to a woman 15 years older than him? with three kids. This will shake you up. You know,
Starting point is 01:07:13 at 20, this is a wild one. So you guys, you guys are rattled right now, which I totally get. Yeah, I've got a bunch of different avenues into this. I had something going on where,
Starting point is 01:07:24 you know, somebody that was really close to me, was dating somebody that's older than, you know, older than me. And that's about, it was like about a 15 year gap. I worked in the schools.
Starting point is 01:07:33 I don't know what's in the water in those schools. People are horny in those schools. I'm telling you, It's the groundskeeper and the lunch staff and teachers and, you know, administrative. And it's like, people find out about this shit. It's not a big secret. Once I, like, got into the back end of that world working there, getting a paycheck, who was like, man, you guys, how do you guys stay so buttoned up?
Starting point is 01:07:53 The stories I'm hearing. So, I mean, that was bound to happen, whoever it was, you know, whoever he chose, it was going to be someone. But I think he's 20, they're 20, right? This is some 20-year-old shit, man. I don't know to tell you. Like let him, let him like actually come face to face with these problems that you're, you know, seems like you're a guy who plans ahead for yourself and others because you're saying all these things.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Like, and he's the kind of guy that gets a girlfriend and we never see him again. And what about the kids? And she doesn't want kids. That's like thinking pretty far ahead for a 20 year old. I'd say just let him hit a couple, you know, let him go down this bumpy path. And I bet you he will, because he's 20, he will probably bail pretty soon. Right. That's my thoughts.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Be supportive. The likelihood that this, like, actually is, like, a thing long term is pretty low. So getting involved, like you could address it and say whatever, say your piece on things, but I don't think it's going to like, I wouldn't make anything different.
Starting point is 01:08:45 If anything, it might make him be more defiant. And I told you so is almost as good as a, I mean, I didn't want to say anything. Don't even say anything. It's over. When it's over,
Starting point is 01:08:55 you'd be like, man, I was thinking this the whole time. I got some questions about her or two. Like, what, why she, what three kids and a 20 year old?
Starting point is 01:09:02 Like, that seems, okay. School, man. Your decisions are made. School system. Something goes on there. But I would. Why don't people do anything?
Starting point is 01:09:09 You know what I mean? I mean, it makes sense. Maybe this guy's good looking. Maybe he's got a way about him. Good with a line. Quick with a. No? You think she's just a loser?
Starting point is 01:09:20 Those are his parents. He's 20. I don't know. I just don't know that like. Dude, how much a flat cost in Liverpool? I don't. Versuside? No, I don't.
Starting point is 01:09:31 I would be surprised by that. I feel like, I don't know. Is he just doing this for attention? I don't know. Like is he, what if he never was looking up. Or, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:09:40 And now this woman is rocking his world. But the thing is, is because all you guys are 20 years old, you know, like, I can't believe. I'm trying to think of an English name, but whatever.
Starting point is 01:09:52 I can't come up with it. Gareth. That's a good one. Liam's another good one. Joseph. That was a weird one. Liam. Let's go with Liam.
Starting point is 01:10:04 So this is kind of like of Liam. stole a car when he's 14, right? Like when's the age when somebody who takes out a parent's car and goes for a joy ride with a couple of his mates? Like 13 is like, oh my God, 14. You're like, okay, 15, it almost makes a little bit of sense, right? So 20, you're two years out of high school. You're kind of doing your own thing here. And yeah, it's a bad idea. And yeah, his parents would not approve. And yeah, to shut it down, like, I'm out of the, I'm out of the old reproducing game. you know, she's done.
Starting point is 01:10:36 So I'm out at 20. Like, yeah, you're right. None of it makes any sense. But it's also probably rattling you a little bit more because of your age. And this is like the first kind of group that's doing something that's this outrageous to you. So you think it needs to be addressed. You think you have to have fucking meetings and interventions about the whole thing. And it's like, you know what, man?
Starting point is 01:10:55 I'm going to tell you right now. Odds are this thing is going to play out exactly how everyone is talking about it right now with us. Everyone that's listening to it. Don't worry. there is an expiration date and then you can laugh about it as the great mates that you are in the future. That is a good point. I feel like younger me as a friend just cared about way more things that my buddies were doing. And it is a really freeing thing like later in life to be like, oh, dude, you want to you want to buy a time share in Daytona? Hell yeah, brother. Like, happy for you.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Hope it works out. Where it's like, younger me, it would be like, what an idiot. Like, we have to have an intervention. You're just like, eh, go for, like, knock yourself out, dude. So there is a, there is definitely an age element to this where I would be bothered as, the emailers right, I would probably be bothered in that situation about it same. Yeah, every little event back then seemed massive, you know what I mean? And it's just a blip. I mean, think how absurd it is to be 15 or 16. I mean, look, I can throw a 25 on it for me if you want, like, think anyone should be fucking listening to you as a guy. Hey, dude, we needed to talk to you about this.

Starting point is 01:13:39 We don't need to do all of this, but I'm beread it. I just don't want more people doing it. So he doesn't want me to give out his location, but it is relevant. All right. comp Avery Bradley, defensive-minded, undersized combo card. I hope you're all doing well. I turned 30 a couple weeks ago and I can't get this out of my head. I'm an only child and my dad has one sister.
Starting point is 01:14:03 On my dad's side, I'm the last-lin family tree. So if I don't produce an error, the last name dies with me. I like the way this guy's thinking. It's totally true, though. You don't think I'm worried about it? Me too. I get to be girls. Well, you got guys that can step up, right, right?
Starting point is 01:14:20 I don't. My brother has a daughter. He's done? Well, you know, I mean, it's not looking good for the Rosillo's. But there'd be something's like super egotistical about it where if I were just an egomaniac, I'd be like, it ends with me. What's cooler than that? But yeah, that maybe you just. I'd be last for Scylla.
Starting point is 01:14:44 You could just Elon Musk get and just put an ad out, right? And be like, you know, procreation needed. I don't think I'd want to do that. No. peace of mind now well I think if I were going to do the air thing I'd want to maybe play fucking catch a couple times so um
Starting point is 01:15:03 sure but if this were medieval times you don't think that I'd be at this stage it'd be like get this guy out of the village right we're done with you what's his deal yeah mountain man be trapping weavers or something up there just a little wizard what's going on exile to
Starting point is 01:15:21 ham and sham all right uh little background on me live in a pretty upscale area high cost of living clean neighborhood smooth roads smooth roads we're right that that's awesome when you get on a patch of smooth after some bullshit you're like oh man it's a it's a wealthy road wow this guy's roads it's like i don't really like him that much but his fucking roads are so sweet lines are clear bright yeah but one of the things about this whole process of reading the emails there are clues there are clues about the way your brain works that I figure out and there are ways about the people you're talking about
Starting point is 01:16:01 with some of the things that you emphasize, don't emphasize at all, deemphasize, if you will. All right, so he's got a smooth road, bought a house, two stories, four bedrooms, pool a couple years ago. I do have a solid 401K, good health benefits, but I wouldn't consider myself rich by any means. Roads would tell a different story, but we'll stay with you, yeah. I do all right for myself, but where I live in the dating pool, I'd say these traits are pretty average at best. Now, physically, I'm obviously not the biggest catch on a good day, a couple pairs of socks, but be able to gymnastics myself up to 510.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Yeah, the pillow stretch. And I'm trying to get back myself. You're probably wondering what my dating history is like. So I'll start there. I was in a long relationship, my senior year of high school, that lasted roughly five years. It didn't end on great terms. Granted, we were both young and both would probably admit we didn't handle the best. That's a tough one, too.
Starting point is 01:16:50 high school into college and then or whatever it's going on that's a tough phase to lock those in do not judge yourself don't be hardened yourself all right um however since that ended i've truly enjoyed doing what i want to do one of my favorite things of the world is sitting on the couch every saturday and sunday during football season and just simply not moving i even love getting off work on wednesday at five and going to play nine holes by myself at a local muny uh i do not it's not like i don't have a social life i do i go to bars hang out with friends go to sporting events, but it's always on my terms. If I don't want to do something, if I don't want to go do something, then I just don't. To be honest, it's not like I'm doing well for myself when I go out.
Starting point is 01:17:30 I get lucky sometimes. He parentheses 5-8 again. And I've tried dating. I've been to two relationships since that initial one, but they haven't lasted the past two months, mostly because they will say something along the lines of, we should go to the farmer's market this weekend, which is a clear Ick and ultimately leads me to break things off. All right, dude, you're never going to have kids and say goodbye to your family name. Yeah, I think I understand. Farmers markets are great. There's always a couple of hidden gems at farmers market.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Just put that aside. Dude, you can sell weed at farmers markets now. New York just passed a thing in August. Only small businesses, though. Only small businesses. Hell yeah. Good to know. Fighting against the man.
Starting point is 01:18:11 I'm just saying, farmers markets, it's, you know, they're constantly, you know, pushing the limits of what a. farmer's market can do. We started an anti-weed experience the other day. I was walking into the Equinox parking lot and it just was raging. These guys, that was their pre-workout. They're like, we don't need nitrous oxide. We're just going to rip a J here.
Starting point is 01:18:32 And I walked through it and it was like, I stunk like weed and I could smell it. And I'm not saying like, but I don't want that. I didn't want that before I was about to struggle with my bench, which is when you start sweating to, you know what I mean? weed or tobacco, it just starts coming out of you. And you're like, dude, this is the worst. I've smelled it a while. So I don't know why anybody does that.
Starting point is 01:18:52 But a note to my man backing up Surrey's Point on the farmer's market. I, too, just went to the farmer's market yesterday. I'm thinking of pivoting into bringing my own bag to the farmer's market. I'm serious. That might be the next move because something happened with the juices yesterday. I almost lost a mint pineapple juice that cost me $16 because he was in glass, but he couldn't give me plastic because he's only allowed to do paper. But then it was supposed to be smuggled.
Starting point is 01:19:15 It was a complete fucking disaster. But we saved it and it was fine. If you're 30 and you want to have a family and you're already like, I'm too cool for the farmer's market. Like I might have said that when I was 25 and you know what? Maybe I would have said it by 30. But listen to me. Farmers markets are great. Where are you going to do better for your produce and you're supporting small businesses?
Starting point is 01:19:40 Sometimes even female owned, female women owned. What she wants to do could be, you should be happy if that's par for the weekend for her. Of all the stuff that sucks. That's easy to check that box. You know, grab yourself a juice and a fucking peach, a white peach or a Myers-Lemon. Bring it back to the house later on. Crushing it some ice water. I'm trying to talk my wife out of a garlic festival an hour away from me this weekend.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Like, I will go to the Poughkeepsie Farmers Market and a fucking flash, dude. Yeah, a garlic festival? about what Kyle has to do. That sucks. So look, I'm not totally committed. I'm still working on her. It's Wednesday, but I don't know. I'll let you know by Thursday, I think, if I've sealed the deal. I would like a full report. Because it's like, I'm thinking to go. Can I just tell you what my argument is? Travel like from the garlic market. I'm sure the garlic infused oil is going to be amazing.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Probably some great garlic bread. But then we're going to get into the, try my garlic lemonade, my garlic ice cream. Like this is like 70% of it is going to be like, don't need that at all. And it's like, I'll be. over the shit in 25 minutes and it's going to be a two-hour round trip. So that's, I think I'm, I'm actually gaining a little ground with this argument. Garlic Legos. Right. Exactly. There's going to be so much, useless novelty, you know, for a full, whole festival, you know, come on. That seems to be a very specific lane, Kyle. I'm on your side, but I still hope you go. Okay. All right. So back to our guys. You can tell I'm pretty picky. All right. Maybe that's a me issue, but I've always said that I'm
Starting point is 01:21:12 open to marriage, but it has to be the right person. I think that makes sense. The last thing I would want is be in a relationship, get married, and have half my assets get taken a divorce. I'll tell you right now, that mindset will keep you single for quite a while. Hand up. People, too, are like, I'm open to marriage, and it doesn't even have to be the right person, just anybody. Like, okay. Thanks, Guy. Yeah, all right. With the area I live in, cheating is a very real thing, and he is right about that. Also, I wouldn't want to stay at home wife with the area I live in, most women just want to get married and stay at home. I'm a career guy, so I'd like her to have a career too,
Starting point is 01:21:47 but also with my measurables, can I afford to be picky? This guy is really honest about what 5-8 brings to the table. Morally, I'm not sure it's right for me to end the family tree because I care too much about the things I want to do. I do all right financially, but I can't just adopt a kid, right? That would be strange. Maybe for you, maybe not for others. I think you're allowed.
Starting point is 01:22:07 If you get them young enough, you might be able to change the name. Is that true? Maybe I didn't want to say it that way But I just mean like if there's like a brand new baby It's like could do you have any young ones that are not that into like a vague like a Smith or Johnson? Yeah. Want something maybe stand out all right. That just was poor delivery but I think you understand what I'm trying to say No it has to be a little too set in his ways probably a farmer's market.
Starting point is 01:22:36 Yeah. All right. I've got a couple friends women that I know that haven't had the best luck and are still available. should I just lay this out to them and be like, hey, you're getting older, I'm getting older. This isn't about us, but we should give this thing a shot. Well, if that doesn't scream true love on an Instagram post. I'm sorry to believe this is fake. There's too many red flags here, do you?
Starting point is 01:23:02 Like, what are we doing? Or maybe another solution is getting a dog as a test run and seeing if that changes my way of thinking. I'm in a bit of a pickle morally and would love to hear from y'all. Sorry if this was long. it's just a lot going on in here, which I think kind of gets to our original point is you may need a bit of a reset onto like, what is it that you want? And you admitted that you're being picky. You're in a high density area right now for women, but it's a little wild where you're at. And maybe that's part of the problem, that it's a little too wild, a little too show off, a little too real housewives. And maybe that's messing you up. You know, maybe you need to get back to some Midwestern roots, even if you don't have roots there. Like, hey, this is this is a little different. speed. I don't, I don't, I don't, reading that email, honestly, so Rudy, I don't know what he wants. I mean, I think I do, but I'm not sure if he even wants anything other than, is it bad if my last name ends? And then it's a bunch of, like, very specific things that I think would make
Starting point is 01:23:58 it harder to find that person. Clearly, he doesn't want to do any of these things. He just is worried about the name thing. So I would say, I would say if all of the signs that you gave us are, you should not pursue that. And the name should just end. And that's it. I don't think, I don't think, Like, you don't, like, if you want to sit in the couch all day Saturday, you don't like farmers markets, you're talking to, like, you know, about these two friends you have who are still available and just for convenience, let's figure it out. Just keep living your life. I don't think the name thing is going to be a problem for you.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Yeah, if your dad's not bothering you about it, you know, I guess it's fine. I don't, it doesn't sound like there's too many things. Like the fact it was like the breakups past two months because they're talking about farmers markets or whatever, you know, that was probably like, probably other things like that he just doesn't want to do. And you want to be left alone on the weekends and you want your wife to have a job, but also, I don't know, take care of the family. And like, it's a very, I think you might have to move to the south, dude.
Starting point is 01:24:54 I don't know. I don't know where you. You may be, you know, new pool with, you know, women that may be. But he's like, not ready yet. But he's like, he's living like a 16 year old's dream, right? And like, so you're going to, you're going to do that into your like 40s and 50s. And like, I'm telling you, I'm not trying to lay it down. here but like that that might get old you know there might be a time when you regret this just
Starting point is 01:25:19 think about that preach he's only 30 and it's a great point sure you like i would say to this guy just go through whatever you're going through here and then maybe at 35 it'll kick in dudes are playing c's 75 too dude like there's guys out there with old dads well like al pachino is but not the average guy it's probably no that's not cool i'm just saying people say it to me all the time they're like well pachino just had another and i go what the fuck Right. What do you think is the oldest you would allow yourself to be when your kids in high school? Tell that dog to stop making all that noise.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Like it's 70, too old if your kid's like graduating high school. It's older than you want, but like, I don't know, I went to school, the guy whose dad was like 72. And it was just like, yeah, you know, dad was still out there. But 72 is still like with it, you know? 72 is with it. Yes. You are with it. But you are.
Starting point is 01:26:12 Like there's a line somewhere, you know. I'm trying to think, add I'll be what, 50, no, what do I be? 37 now. Yeah, I'll be like in my early 50s. Yeah, that's,
Starting point is 01:26:23 that's pretty awesome. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's kind of the dream. I'll take that. But I feel like now, I mean, I guess if you're like,
Starting point is 01:26:31 famous, it's different. Like, you can just be, like, you just kind of look younger and your cool words. Start a bank count and whatever.
Starting point is 01:26:36 But like if you're a normal dude, yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, thank you, but. Nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:45 That'll do it for the, show today. Thanks to Steve, thanks to Kyle, thanks to Tom, thanks to Kevin. All of our episodes available on Netflix, the Ryan Rosillo Show, Rastal Sports.
