what are the Cowboys doing this off
season Professor brard yeah gives
another grade in about 7 Minutes
meanwhile the one quote ugly suggestion
that Cam Newton has for Lamar what does
it mean and will it work and finally
well oh my goodness Dusty bring out the
bulletin board burrow says the Bengals
are built to beat the Chiefs wow okay
alongside Coach man jeie I’m Kevin Wilds
Brew are you going to ride with
Cincinnati this year well I’m from there
several places late in the season if
they’re looking good I might hop on that
bandw we’ll see right now no not right
now okay we start with a Tom Brady Super
Bowl prediction now this is a very
specific prediction courtesy of deep the
deep cut podcast with Vic Blends uh
which ringless quarterback will get a
Super Bowl ring first Brady’s answer
this guy Josh Allen take a
listen next quarterback to win a Super
Bowl that hasn’t won
yet I like Josh Allen a lot I think he’s
i’ I pick Josh Josh yeah I like Josh a
lot as a guy as a leader um but you know
he’s got to get past the Chiefs and
that’s hard cuz Patrick’s incredible in
the way he leads that team yeah okay
Brew are you surprised Brady went with
Josh uh well first of all I think it’s
clear at least to me he went with Josh
because he likes Josh are they buddies I
mean he even said I like him as a guy
like a lot of this was that’s my guy I’m
hoping he does it and I will say this
coach if they’re that close and Josh
doesn’t always listen to Tom right that
we’ve seen that on on their interviews
he should be Josh should be picking his
brain about 12 Personnel right that was
huge for New England with gr kowsky and
Aaron Hernandez and they got two
talented tight ends in Buffalo obviously
your receiving core is in flux at least
right now they should be running that a
lot and I think you should be picking
Brady’s brain on that but I am from a
football perspective coach I’m very
surprised because obviously the off
season that the bills have had I think
this is at least to date we’ll see what
they do in the draft and and other moves
but to date this is I think the worst
team they’ve gone into the season with
in the last three or four years all
right you you lost your two best
receivers you lost five of your eight
captains defensively you lost some you
know critical pieces I think they’ll be
good defensively because mcder is good
on that side of the ball and last year
despite a lot of injuries they were good
defensively but still I mean saying that
unless you are saying Mahomes is gonna
win it this year and then next year
maybe Josh can come back these are I
would put these quarterbacks ahead of
Allen as far as winning their first
Super Bowl him right now Lamar burrow CJ
stra just I mean I’m not saying he’s
going to win it this year but right now
I’d put him ahead of uh Allen because of
the team and then in on the NFC side
just because of the team is great pie
correct uh Jordan love Jared G and M and
maybe Jaylen Herz I’m just saying ahead
of Josh Allen right now because of the
team so tough one for Dak tough list for
Dak yeah d d got another list back will
be on but got displ but yeah coach so
football from a football sense I’m very
surprised it it’s funny you said Tom
whether or not Tom likes uh Josh because
that’s the first thing I looked up does
Tom Brady golf with Josh yes and and he
does and and buddies and that’s exactly
what this felt like it’s like okay I’m
going to go with my buddy and when you
look at it Josh has to get over the 18
interceptions that’s a problem they get
rid of Diggs and and whenever you get
rid of a player and you’re going to pay
him $3 million more on the cap than you
would if you had him obviously that’s a
problem so now the chemistry gets better
in the building but you can’t replace
that talent that that he brought on
Sunday then he loses four out of his
five receivers so from a from a forc
multiplier perspective this is the big
test for him whether or not he can
Elevate the offense losing his best
weapon losing all that continuity and
and it’s it’s a big if and and from a
salary cap perspective this is a cleanup
year their 29th in s in salary cab this
is not the year that you would predict
them to go super now that being they’re
in a division that’s going to give a
chance to get to the playoffs because
there’s so much flux they’ wed what four
years in a row last year they won five
games in a row won the division won a
playoff game so there is some resilience
in the organization Stefon digs wasn’t
that big a part of that end of the
season run for him but this did
definitely feel like hey I’m going to
throw my buddy a a nod here um let me
show you a graphic of uh because
obviously Brady was talking first in
perspective so the idea that momes is
the new Brady in terms of dominating uh
Brady is 12-2 in the playoffs Mahomes 5
and three three Super Bowl appearances
for Brady four for Patrick Mahomes his
rival Payton was two for four didn’t go
to the Super Bowl till year nine Josh
Allen five and five so do you think
coach momes and Brady kind of alluded to
it is the biggest obstacle in his way or
is there some other thing that’s
preventing Josh from getting over the
hump yeah momes is the biggest obstacle
in the whole NFL’s way of winning a
Super Bowl and and you know that’s
that’s an issue that everybody’s got to
figure out and overcome and teams are
going to they’re going to structure
their team to be able to beat them
especially if you’re in the AFC but the
bills the bills have had a lot of
problems in the last few years and
especially last year there there was
always some kind of there was something
Brewing underneath that that they had to
deal with uh and and they put they made
that push financially to get over the
hump and they did and now you got to pay
those bills and it’s going to be a
little bit of time I think before
they’re really competing at the highest
level and I think you know I’m big on in
tangs at quarterback and Josh has to
show that he has those we know there was
there were issues with his best receiver
so that is that somewhat on Josh I put
it more on Diggs but still a little bit
some of it’s on the quarterback right
you got to be able to control that and
work it out little bit so yeah a little
un Josh I don’t little I think it’s just
Josh I think that it’s a head coach too
in the ad the administration when you
make that decision but I just mean even
being able to control like again you
would like your quarterback to be able
to handle difficult guys in a locker
room especially if they’re as talented
as Stephan digs is and figure out a way
to make him work so that you can at
least get him to Sunday okay uh let’s
head to Dallas where one NFL executive
told Jordan Reed that they didn’t
totally get how Dallas is is building
their roster this off season I don’t
really understand the plan they are so
far this off season but there’s a lot
Weighing on this draft and they seem to
be confident about finding a bunch of
starters now they have had some success
in the draft before obviously with uh CD
lamb and M the Parsons but Brew can you
put a grade on the Cowboys off season
well first of all I’m glad this
executive watches the show CU I’ve been
saying this all right so grade you know
I look through everything I’m thorough
with my grades let’s see coach first
first of all they tell us they’re Allin
we’re 10 toes down and they knew we
thought that meant Allin for a Super
Bowl it may have meant all in to just
tear this thing down eventually we
were’re tired of paying all this money
and no results as far as Super Bowl wins
maybe that’s what they meant but after
that they lose several key starters two
of your best offensive linemen all right
your defensive coordinator one of your
best defensive pass wresters in dorren
Armstrong your best running back in Tony
p all right so that’s an issue then you
you uh your wi receiver CI lamb is
talking about holding out now there are
leaks these are leaks that you you don’t
like your best player all right Michael
Barson and now you’re not going to pay
Dak then there’s another leak oh we
might just look for another quarterback
all right so I just think coach the way
they’re handling this entire offseason
you got worse on paper on the roster
whatever chemistry you had whatever Good
Vibes you had at least for now those are
in question and you’re a worse team than
you were when the season ended so I’m
Fair he’s fair so when I get when I get
my grve it’s it’s falling which is
appropriate because it’s an F what else
can I give them w i mean the D minus no
they they have they have fallen way
behind the Eagles all right behind the
Eagles got Squan Barkley I know you
think that funk coach I I think the
Eagles Funk was just I don’t know what
the heck was going on but is gonna solve
all you think K Moore big Fano look I
I’m not as harsh a greater as you are
but there’s not there’s not much I can’t
I can disagree with you on and when you
look at it it’s the qu the head coach is
going to the final year his contract so
he’s going to play it out so there’s
uncertainty there all the changes that
going to have defensively because
whenever you bring in a new defensive
coordinator philosophically you’re going
to change as much as you may want to
stay you may want to stay the same you
can’t your two best players now are are
not are disenfranchised a little bit
they they’re they’re unsatisfied so
you’ve got that component of it you’ve
already got all the the negative energy
from the embarrassing loss to Green Bay
you’ve got the expectations that you
built with your fan base where you tell
them you’re going all in you lose so
many key players I I don’t know as a
head coach how you s what do you say
when you stand up in front of the team
in terms of hey this is why we’re going
to be better this year than we were last
year now you can get an influx of of
talent from the draft you hope you can
but you can miss just as easily in the
draft as as as as you can hit so what do
you say if you’re standing up in front
of those guys in terms of this is why
we’re going to win the division and this
is why we’re going to win the Super Bowl
it’s It’s A Hard Sell at any point and
they’ve only got three draft picks in
the top 150 or really 170 well they got
174 okay three in the top 173 four in
the top
175 that’s not a lot Kevin wants to give
him that
D fair and Zimmer the defensive
coordinator oneye deal I mean think
about that onee deal so I think all in
meant this is it you guys have this year
and if not we may be cleaning completely
and I like Mike Zimmer a lot and I think
he’s going to do a good job but from a
from a personality standpoint he’s very
very different than what they were
dealing with with Dan so those players
are going to have to get used to that
too Mike has a little bit more of an
edge than than Dan did not that Dan
wasn’t disciplined but Mike has an edge
um random prediction time you didn’t
prep for this at what point what week in
the season will we say what do you think
about Bill bellich to Dallas
if things are going swimmingly I don’t
think we ever talk about it yeah I it’s
hard for me to imagine that things are
going to go
swimmingly early on and knowing the way
that people treat the Cowboys we could
be talking about it week four week three
what do you think so you sound they’re
in danger of missing the Playoffs yeah I
I think that the nfc’s gotten better I
think it’s a combination of when you
when you lose Talent like that and then
you combine that with transition then
you’ve got uncertain yet head coach
quarterback and your two best players
both offensively and defensively that’s
that’s a lot of gunpowder that’s that
can go off in that locker room at any
point okay uh let’s talk about I’m week
four or five week four okay Cam Newton
sat down with Shannon and shared some
advice for the reigning MVP one thing
that Lamar and the Ravens organization
have to figure out is how to win the
ugly games stop thinking you know as a
chef you can prepare this meal in so
many different ways but everyone knows
your signature you’ve got to find a way
to win the ugly games now we’re trying
to interpret that what the ugly games
are uh here’s where the Ravens rank this
year overall pretty strong they got to
the playoffs and didn’t run the ball
enough but coach what’s your take on the
ugly games uh aspect and Cam’s advice
well I’m going to say something that I
don’t think I’ve said very often as I
totally agree with Cam Newton wow I I
absolutely agree with what he’s saying
and I think cam brings really unique
insight for for Lamar because there are
similarities between the way the two
players played and and what he’s saying
is and I I find this a lot from from
Baltimore you know they make the move at
offensive coordinator they didn’t want
Greg Roman and his offense tended to be
a run first build play action off of
that so now they’re going to go make a
change and now it’s going to that we’re
going to focus on on how well of a
passer Lamar is and and Lamar has done
some good things throwing the ball but
that’s not necessarily his greatest
strength and he can continue to improve
that but he has a very unique way of
playing that’s hard to deal with that
that very other very few other
quarterbacks can can ever present those
challenges but there’s this it seems
like this need from either Baltimore’s
perspective or from Lamar’s perspective
to to change the narrative and and to
say that he can he can be this or he is
this Elite pocket passer and I don’t
think that’s what you should focus on
just figure out whatever you have to do
to win that game and if it means you run
the ball 40 times and if it means that
he’s running quarterback driven runs to
get over the hump then then do that it
it just there there’s been so many times
where it feels like they’re trying to
prove a point instead of trying to to to
do what what really is what they do best
I think that certainly was a problem
against Kansas City I mean we may be
having a whole different conversation if
they just run the ball what I disagree
look I think Baltimore’s culture is
about winning ugly like they’re always
good defensively they they’ve generally
been a run team they won their Super
Bowls with Joe flacko I know he was hot
that postseason Trent dilford the other
super like to me they went ugly like
Lamar this year was six and0 he he was
six and0 when he didn’t throw for 200
yards and in none of those games did he
even run for 100 so like but do you ever
hear him talking and embracing that do
you ever hear him saying like hey this
is what we do this is our break and this
is our we’re going to own it we’re going
to embrace no it’s hey we got to move on
from Greg Roman because he definitely
wanted to go in a different direction
initi yeah we got to throw the ball more
we got to get better receivers in we’ve
got to build up the P it’s always about
about proving people wrong in terms of
of of the narrative related to Lamar and
Lamar is great at what he does and and
he’s getting better in a lot of areas
but just embrace the things that you do
really well and give opponents a lot cuz
they can’t handle it I would think this
year they’re going to like they had to
learn coach from that that AFC title
game cuz it was just blatantly obvious
to everybody that they went away from
the run too much and I think they got to
find that sweet spot because I like
Lamar you know throwing it the way he
did this year but when he needs to run
he’s got to he’s got to lean into that
but but how sick are you that you had to
learn that lesson in that in that
scenario and and you can hope that
you’re going to get back to that game
but there’s no guarantee and remember
Lamar’s come off a couple of Seasons
where he finished the season injured so
this is a season where he’s healthy they
have that opportunity and now we’re
going to prove a point and and all it
did is is end up sending you home um
Brew speaking of the playoff game do you
think Lamar needs to reach the Super
Bowl to silence all doubters he needs to
win it not just reach it win it yeah
he’s won two MVPs everybody there’s 10
other guys that have won MV MVPs all
quarterbacks ascept for Jim brown but
every one of those 10 guys has won at
least one Super Bowl so that’s the class
you put yourself in and so he has to not
just reach a Super Bowl win it like if
he doesn’t win a Super Bowl he’s going
to finish his career yeah he’ll be a
Hall of Famer because of the MVPs and
the winning but we will look at it with
disappoint but he never got that one
ring that’ll help Define his career just
like it does kind of damn marinos now In
fairness even if he didn’t have two MVPs
coach I think he’d still be you got to
win a Super Bowl because he’s that good
and Wilds you know I’m I’m I made the
sbob famous of for teams for franchises
here’s the sbob quarterbacks coach all
right look there’s there’s two different
categories sbob quarterback Super Bowl
or bus because of their individual
greatness this is just this year well
this is going forward for for yeah I
guess this year momes you know obviously
about winning Super Bowls Lamar’s got to
win one Allen’s got to win one Burrow’s
got to win one the bottom next under
that these guys are approaching that if
they have the seasons this year that
they had last year or Herbert typically
has then they will become sbob
quarterbacks where it’s like okay Jordan
love so good now he’s got to win the
Super Bowl that’s what we’re going to
judge him by and the same for St and
Herbert the other three on the bottom
are because of their team’s greatness
not that they’re not very very good py
obviously I like but with he’s in an ASB
situation like no they’ve been to the
Super Bowl even with Jimmy garoo so P’s
got to win a Super Bowl Dak because he’s
with America’s team has to win a Super
Bowl and Herz is kind of floating in
between cuz maybe he is that great maybe
pery too but herds has to win one
because that team is built to win now
they got a lot of pieces you know I
always love your stuff I don’t know if I
love you love this he’s not as putting
putting CJ CR there after there question
marks putting Jordan love there after
one year I struggle with that and then
your boy Brock pie after all he’s not in
a a Super Bowl or bus situation no no I
agree but all the stats that you quote
over and over again he doesn’t even make
the second row well no the second would
be so happy with this with this graphic
and this chart right now I can’t I I
can’t believe P’s there and stoud and
love up on that one it’s more strength
of the team okay and again the question
marks do I want the question marks goof
is not on go is not esbo is that good
for him or is it problematic for him is
he is he ASB I I would think if you were
going to talk about the greatness of a
team Detroit’s got a pretty a pretty
talented team right now yeah maybe and
and golf GF is really I think you want
to be espo no you definitely her cousins
ask Bob I think we need to Workshop this
a little bit come back Bob just keeps
growing get it look let it marinate next
week you guys will be like Eureka the
style of that when we put up that style
of graphic with some amorphous pyramid
shape and there there a lot of Nick did
you’re going to end up redoing it like
Nick was the same template that is that
is an offse graphic right there is burl
eyeing another invite to the arrowhead
Invitational that’s next I should have
called him for on
FS1 that I love it I would
have hey college football fans Joel
clatt here and over on my podcast the
Joel clatt show we discuss the best
teams players and story lines in all of
college football any questions then send
them in to the Joel clat show mailbag
and I’ll answer them tap the banner to
follow the Joel clat show on
Spotify uh welcome back to the show Co
man Genie’s in for Nick Joe burrow and
the Bengals start their offseason
program on Monday bit of a new look Joe
Mixon gone and T won’t be there he’s not
thrilled about that franchise tag
nevertheless Joe is ready to challenge
the Champs here’s what he said about
Mahomes and the Chiefs we both work
really hard at what we do they’ve got
great players we’ve got great players I
think we match up pretty well with them
we’re kind of built to beat them the
question the script coach was should
Nick be worried but BT dubs I’m also a
Chiefs fan my second favorite team
so should all chiefs fans be worried
yeah I think this is I think this is the
team that they need to legitimately
worry about and and when you look at Joe
burn he’s been healthy they’ve been top
10 in almost every offensive category
and and really top five in a bunch of
offensive categories he’s three and one
against the Chiefs so when when we were
in New England and we had it rolling
there were teams that were that would
come in and we knew we had them beat as
they came in and they kind of bowed down
to to the UN form and the A and all that
stuff and then what give me one of those
teams I mean we we beat up on a lot of
teams we can probably look it up we we
we beat up on a lot of teams at that
point but but then there were other
teams and and I think even Tom struggled
with the Ravens after I left I feel like
that was a team that he kind of like the
the chief or Cincinnati is for Kansas
City they they were difficult for New
England to deal with and and so there’s
that component and and Cincinnati’s not
intimidated at all by Kansas City and if
anything they feel like they’ve got a
little bit of an edge on Kansas City so
that’s that’s impactful they’ve got
almost all their offensive weapons back
they they keep or they added gaseki
they’ve got 10 draft picks so they got a
chance to get better in the draft
they’ve got the 10th most salary cap
space so there is flexibility to still
do some things here you know as as we
move on and guys become available that
weren’t available so as long as Joe
burrow can stay healthy I think he’s got
a real they’ve got a real opportunity
now the one denim I’ll say is that
division is rough so Cincinnati’s got to
get out of that division in order to
even get to the Chiefs and and that’s
not going to be easy at all but you will
be battle tested if you’re the team that
emerges look I I get that this is this
kind of burrows how he is his
personality and everybody loves it but I
don’t like this I don’t like the talking
like this all right I get that they’re
three and one against the Chiefs and
have played them well
but they did lose that that one loss was
in the AFC Championship game and then
now it was a SE a year and a half ago
and they’re they’re losing probably
going to lose T I still don’t think they
have to trade T but you know they may
lose him Tyler Boyd may be gone I know
they got some picks but burrow you you
said a few times if he’s healthy burrow
this is now a real this is like an
Anthony Davis type thing where it’s like
every quarterback of course they have to
be healthy but there are a few players
where that’s really an issue and he is
one of them so I’m saying coming off a
year where he got you got hurt in
rolling out in practice M and you lost
you lost some players or will lose some
players I just think you don’t need to
be talking about Kansas City like this
when they were talking about burad
Stadium it didn’t work out well so I I
again that’s their personality but I I
just I don’t think this should have with
Joe bur do you feel like when he says
those things he’s saying it because he
believes it or he’s saying it because
he’s trying to convince himself that
that that’s the case I think he believes
it I think and you can say okay he’s got
to go prove but I just you’re giving
you’re putting fuel to the fire with
Kansas City but to me that’s the
difference is he legitimately believes
what he’s saying there’s a lot of guys
that say stuff and put it out in the NFL
Universe because they’re trying to
they’re trying to convince themselves
that that could happen where with him he
truly believes it and then when your
quarterback believes that everybody else
in the room believes that because they
know you can make it happen quickly
about Joe’s injuries first rookie year I
don’t think anyone says that’s his fault
then he plays 16 back to back plays he
played 10 this year the first four he
wasn’t himself he threw two touchdowns
his calf hurt couldn’t throw the ball
down the field he’s one of the worst
quarterbacks statistically in the league
and then uh all of a sudden he shows up
with a wrap and then he can’t hold the
ball week 10 is any of this on him
conditioning wise a style of play we
talked so much about Lamar’s style of
play is an injury risk two is obviously
an injury risk Josh Allen’s an injury
risk meanwhile he’s missed a ton of
games and is it just like nah it’s just
bad luck that you get bitten by the
injury bug the only one that that really
stood out was when he was rolling out
and and pulled the muscle or or whatever
that that initial one where it’s a soft
tissue it was a soft tissue injury those
are the ones that you look at and you
say okay well what what was he doing
leading up to that because that’s
usually when you get it is early in
training camp or early in the season
where you get those injuries and and
it’s it’s usually related to some sort
of offseason conditioning component to
it but I I haven’t heard anybody talk
about him as not being a hard worker or
not doing all the things that you know
that the expectation some guys are just
injury prone yeah there’s definitely
some guys that that are injury prone and
sometimes
you’re unlucky and you go through one or
two years where you get dinged up I mean
Lamar is a great example two years back
to back this year fully healthy okay uh
let’s head down to Miami former former
Buffalo Bill and new member of the
Dolphins Jordan puyer optimistic about
taking the Dolphins to the next level
take a
listen a lot of respect and love for the
for the City of Buffalo but you know New
Beginnings out here in South Florida I’m
excited about it I’m excited about the
opportunity a good a football team that
they have and I’m just just you know
here to help to see if they can get over
the home okay here’s the projections of
win totals I don’t totally agree with
bills are at 10 1/2 dolphins are at 9
and 1/2 the Jets who are led by a
quarterback who hasn’t thrown for 300
yards in 23 games at 9 and 1/2 and then
the Patriots on the drive for five at 4
and A2 now uh we’ll start with you brew
is this the year Miami gets over the
hump no no I me everybody’s talking
about the off seon acquisition oh they
Tyron Smith he’s not going to be healthy
these guys can’t stay healthy Mike
Williams Shaq Barrett Jordan p puer is
gonna be 33 and he’s had some injury
issues same thing with Barrett like I I
think that’s a concern and the bottom
line is this Tua has yet to prove he can
play well against good teams all right
one in six last year against playoff
teams and it wasn’t just that they lost
it was that his production plummeted and
then coach
in most cases to get where you want to
go in the playoffs you have to be able
to win in cold weather it’s not even
colda it’s brisk it’s just a little
brisk all right 46 degrees and under to
is 0 and six I mean if you g to have to
beat buffalo in the playoffs we know
have to worry about New England but
Buffalo Cincinnati Kansas City maybe
even Baltimore as far as weather like
you have to go through through some cold
weather teams so no they’re not getting
over the hump yeah be all I didn’t love
last year how they how they faded down
the stretch and you look at the last two
games of the Season throws four picks in
those two games he’s got the two worst
quarterback ratings in in in those two
games and and the team as a whole losing
Vic fangio and I’m not saying he’s he’s
a savior but he’s a very good defensive
coordinator and I thought he brought
some balance to that team because being
a former head coach and being an older
coach I think that’s a good mix to have
in the room and his system is solid so
there’s that transition that they’re
going to go through defensively they’ve
got salary cap issues so there’s not a
lot of room to to improve there
thankfully they’ve actually got some
draft picks for the first time in a long
time so that’s good but there’s it’s a
it’s a star studded team it’s it’s a
little bit unconventional in the way
that that it’s being run and and you
know there’s good things about it but
let’s see whether or not it it can hold
up year and year out and then the injury
issue two is a concussion away from
being being out and potentially out long
term so there’s that and now he doesn’t
have a new contract so you’ve got this
team full of stars that are highly paid
especially the offensive guys and you’ve
got a quarterback that the organization
is saying we don’t believe enough in him
to where we want to extend him at this
point that doesn’t add a lot of cop it’s
it’s not what you want the message you
necessarily want to be sending do you
believe in organizational momentum where
we’ve seen the Packers o they won a
playoff game let’s see what they do the
the Lions finished two years ago
finished hot got hot in the playoffs
this year we hope they take the next
step the Texans won a playoff game maybe
this year they can take the next step
the Dolphins when Jordan por is talking
about getting over the hump the hump is
winning one playoff game this Century it
was it was December 30th 2000 I was
still getting carded at bars I was 24
years old uh so do you think they
they’ve lost 1 2 3 4 five six games
since then like do they just need to win
one game but good news we’re building
something might we got a game this
Century I organizational momentum can be
a real thing but look at the Giants they
go to the playoffs and then then they
take a step back and and there’s that
there’s that component of it too and and
how well you deal with success how much
you learn how much you change all all
those things the great thing for the
Dolphins is
this division is in such flux New
England’s got got regime change and and
all the problems that they’re going
through Buffalo who knows where they’re
going to end up and and there’s a lot of
question marks for a lot of reasons
there and then with the Jets what is
Aaron Rogers is Aaron going to be able
to play if he plays how well is he going
to play so that’s the great thing
different than what we were talking
about with with Baltimore and Cincinnati
being in that division this is a great
division for Miami to be in and that
gives them the best chance to to get
over the hump and and win the division
and and have a chance to to be and play
a playoff game no that’s true break
dancers or no yeah
absolutely the perfect that’s the
Perfect Analogy that’s what they are
flashy fun to watch but they just break
need I need prote what if you what if
you put a cold Jack or like a heavy
jacket on them will that be
okay too
brisk less than two weeks away from the
draft Caleb Jaden and Drake the
consensus top three but hold on stop the
pressers coach man Genie has been
grinding the all 22 and his top three is
a little bit different coach tell us who
you like and why so as you look at the
quarterbacks a little different
evaluating just off tape as opposed to
being a head coach we actually get to
spend time with the guys and and meet
with the guys there’s there’s a whole
process that goes into it where you get
to know their personality how well they
understand the offense so there’s
there’s that element of it but from from
just watching the tape really what I’m
looking for is I’m looking for the plays
that the guys should make okay the the
standard plays whether it’s wide routes
shallow crosses Slants the rout Tre
plays that you you would expect a a
Frontline quarterback to be able to make
then there’s the plays that the guy
shouldn’t make so how many decisions
does he throw it into double coverage
does he uh take chances that that are
unnecessary chances those those plays
that where you look at that could lose
the game and you want to see what kind
of decision maker he is there and then
there’s the plays that that the guy
makes that others can’t make and and
those are those are the special plays
and the more those that show up the
higher the guy goes because you know
that he has a chance to win the game on
his own and he has a chance that to to
change the dynamic of the franchise with
with his unique skill set and so it it
pains me in a way to give you my first
guy and and look I’m not unique in this
but I know that Nick’s been putting him
on Mahomes Mountain throughout the
course of the season and it’s very
difficult
to agree with him wholeheartedly but but
Caleb is a great example of the guy that
can make all the standard throws and he
makes a bunch of throws that other
people can’t similar to Patrick Mahomes
those those off schedu out of the pocket
incredible plays where you’re thinking
okay those are going to go win games for
us now where my greatest concern comes
with Caleb is is the plays that he
shouldn’t make and and there right now
in college football he gets away with a
lot of that but in pro football the
windows are smaller the guys are better
the EXP the the uh level of defenses
you’re playing against are a lot more
complex and what you’re asked to do is a
lot more complex so I hope that he
doesn’t just become a make something
happen Guy where he’s making something
happen for for the bears but he’s also
making something happen too frequently
for their opponents but from a pure
skill set standpoint he was my number
one my number two was Jaden Daniels and
and I didn’t know what to expect going
into this and and and after putting on
the tape he made a bunch of the plays
that that you should make and and the
plays that you should make there weren’t
very many of I I thought processing and
and decision making was very good throws
a catchable ball and then there’s a
bunch of those plays that are that are
unique those wow plays that you see from
Caleb Williams you see from him as well
and I don’t know what his 40 time is but
but this he’s fast he’s ridiculously
fast so when he escapes from the pocket
the amount of ground that he can cover
is impressive and he makes the wild
plays with his arm and he makes the wild
plays W with his feet as well now he’s
64 210 so he does get blown up sometimes
when he gets hit and there’s a concern
about that but you can’t you can’t make
a guy grow anymore but you can put
weight on them you can lift weights you
can get you can get up to 220 225
without losing
a ton of speed and and and he was
exciting to watch and I could see why
why people are excited to have him my
third guy is is different than I think a
lot of people I like Michael penx from
from Washington wow and and it
interesting I read an article recently
about how um how much disagreement there
was between coaches and Scouts on this
player where coaches tend to lean into
him where Scouts tend to like Drake May
a a little bit more from a potential
standpoint but I watched him against
Michigan and after watching the game was
like uh weren’t totally wasn’t sold on
him and and was a little bit
disappointed with what I saw but
Michigan made a lot of quarterbacks look
disappointing but then you throw on the
Texas tape and it’s like he’s lighting
them up and and Texas was I think 13th
in the in the nation in scoring defense
but it’s play after play of not just
really good decisions and good throws
but some of those throws where you’re
thinking I can see this guy winning a
lot of games for us now the the the
concern I have is is he streaky is he
one of those guys where when he’s off
he’s really off and when he’s hot he’s
he’s red hot and and you don’t want that
but if you like this guy and and you
want just watch the Texas game and and
you can easily fall in love with it wow
wow well I I like your list coach I
agree on the first two and for those
reasons and pennic also the health is a
concern yeah that’s been a concern
he got a clear bill of health at the
combine re check in the combine um but I
got number three it’s not Drake May It’s
JJ McCarthy
because he I think is on time coach like
he’s on schedule and I think some people
looking at the success of a brock py I
think they’re looking at this guy you
know Kevin o’ Conor if he gets him in
Minnesota he’s from the McVey Shanahan
tree and they want guys go out there and
do what I’m asking asking you to do and
I think he’s got the athleticism where
he can make some plays here and there
off schedule but I I just think I I got
him third may now it’s good for a lot of
these guys to sit for a year but there’s
a lot of talk about May needs to sit a
year we know he’s got the strong arm
some of the mechanics you know you may
question and we’ve seen a lot of guys
with strong arms but lacking in other
areas and they don’t pan out to be great
quarterbacks and when you bring a brock
that’s a good comparison but remember
what what you paid for them and and for
me like a franchise quarterback is like
going to a good restaurant when I leave
I want to be able to tell my friends
about some of the courses I had I want
to be excited about having those courses
again because you paid a lot of money
for it so if you’re going to take a
player like that that high and you’re
going to pay that price you want to be
able to get some things you you want to
be excited about the things that he can
create and not just take a step back and
say well he can deliver the ball on time
and I like Jim Harbaugh a lot and
respect him but in watching the national
championship game I felt like they won
maybe a little bit in spite of him as
opposed to well they they didn’t throw
it where do you have McCarthy ranked in
I I you know that that group is kind of
together and with Drake mate it felt a
little bit like um Sam darnold okay so
Sam darnold his last year had 29 sacks
Drake May has 29 sacks darnold had like
26 touchdowns and 13 picks and I think
Drake May has like 24 touchdowns and
nine picks so there’s some similarities
there where I I just you know you watch
it and and that’s that’s a feeling I had
coming away from quickly we have 15
seconds panx will be 24 in May is that a
plus or a negative for you I would you’d
always want your quarterbacks a little
bit younger but his journey was
different because of the injuries and
you know it’s not like I forget who it
was that the Browns drafted he was 8
years old it’s not that situation yeah
Weeden so at 20 yeah Weeden so at 24 I
don’t think that’s I don’t think that
maturity and coming into a locker room
that’s going to be filled with men is
the worst thing in the world okay I like
that coming up next we’re talking about
the Lakers and why Brew wants them to
face the Warriors and a very small Alan
Iverson
[Music]
statue uh welcome back to the show
Warriors down the Blazers last night
Steph led the dubs with 22 and a lowc
scoring Fair clay Draymond rested let’s
take a look at the Log Jam in the west
Clan standings here Pelicans trying to
escape Suns also trying to escape Kings
Warriors Lakers pretty much locked in uh
in fact not pretty much definitely
locked in so Brew who should the Lakers
be looking to play Golden State or
Sacramento well this is a great question
because just let’s keep it real the
Lakers haven’t had success against
either this year they’re 1 and3 against
the the Warriors and they’ve lost eight
of their last nine against Sacramento so
you might just look at that and say oh
they they should want the Warriors um
and you know what that is my answer wow
now I look a one and done is dangerous
and we just saw it the other night
especially against the Warriors who can
get as hot as anybody and in a one game
situation they could take you out now I
would definitely pick the Lakers in
seven games but in one and done it’s
dangerous but I think
Sacramento their speed particularly with
dearon FOX NOW Malik monks out so that
would help the Lakers but dearon Fox
speed kills LA and that opens things up
for sabonis inside sabonis is 9 and0
against Anthony DAV and I think the
Lakers size with ad and even LeBron and
not to mention haimura that’s a problem
for the Warriors so I just think Anthony
Davis and LeBron with their size their
ability to score and side and dominating
the paint I think that would be too much
for the the warrior so if I’m the Lakers
I know it sounds crazy to say I want
Steph but I want Steph if I’m La go into
Golden State Steph’s going to be like oh
it’s Steph magic time and Clay’s been
playing great so you want sack I think
so I don’t want to play you know a
championship team in a one and D it’s
don’t like it all right moving on to the
smallest story that we saved for last uh
a bit of a semantics issue in Cy New
Jersey Media reporting today was a
statue unveiling for Iverson when it was
actually a sculpture unveiling alongside
several other small
statued I had
it alongside other small statured
statues darn it that is tough to say
well I tried I think Iverson’s even
laughing like ion loved it he’s he was
very emotional about it uh Bruce so
they’re all kind of smallish statues do
you think the Sixers should give Iverson
a fullon statue it’s tiny it it
definitely T I mean you see uh Ivon is
taller than the statue I I want to see
it it’s on Legends walk right I want to
see it next to some of the other Statue
it’s going to be smaller yeah and I get
it he’s kind of bending down but yeah to
answer your question they should have a
statue of irvis outside of the Arena
this is at The Practice Facility I
believe outside of the Arena I mean come
on Allan Iverson is one of the not only
he’s a legendary player in the NBA
period but certainly one of the
legendary Sixers will Dr J Iverson Moses
Moses and Moses was there is long as
Ivon obviously but Moses you want to
throw Barkley in there eventually it’ll
be embiid but yeah Iverson definitely
deserves a bigger I don’t want to down I
don’t want to be little this one it’s
it’s cute I get it no wait no it’s a
night it was more of just how it was
advertised to us it was expectations
over reality everybody said it was going
to be an Iverson statue Nick nurse was
calling Iris statue and then we’ve got
this large starting lineup figurine
outside but they’re all kind of small
but we just I think if anything there’s
some momentum to get a larger statue
absolutely are we are we going do we
think that is the Jordan
crossover oh I don’t know if it is
bet you it is I would either take the
Jordan crossover as the model I believe
he was with it was with the left he went
back to the I think I would also take
the tyo step over I’m I’m not sure when
the Clippers came to town it be a little
bit rough that would have been nice
overall the tyo step over would be
excellent so that’s it for us we’ll be
back on Monday right now you’ve got the
NASCAR Craftsman truckers qualifying
live from Fort Worth and then we’re back
on Monday and we’re going to be counting
down to the NFL draft ni will be back
