00:00I've got questions.
00:01Hopefully you guys have answers.
00:03Questions post-free agency, but prior to the NFL draft.
00:10Gentlemen, can Kyler Murray be Minnesota's, or really the NFL's, next Sam Darnold-Baker Mayfield?
00:21I think he can.
00:24What does that mean for McCarthy?
00:26Baker's interesting.
00:28I think McCarthy's done.
00:30Dude, did you hear how that tune changed from J.J. McCarthy is our quarterback to, oh, guess what?
00:36That changed immediately.
00:39And like I said, he had to do that.
00:41You have to.
00:42If you don't have a person in the building, you have to be like, well, the guy that I got
00:46in the building's the best.
00:47And then all of a sudden things change.
00:49I think he's got the arm talent.
00:51I think he's got the leg talent.
00:53I don't know if he sees the game.
00:57And that's, he now has a person that I believe can help him see the game.
01:02And I don't think he really ever truly had somebody that was that good at that before.
01:06Right.
01:07And so I do think that he can be.
01:10And I hope that he, whatever he, O'Connell does with him, I hope he takes it to the field
01:17and applies it.
01:18And doesn't just shake his head and be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:21And then get out on the field and be like, whatever, man.
01:23I forgot everything he said.
01:24Alec, there has been some questions about Kyler's coachability.
01:29Do you believe he has the potential to be Minnesota's next Sam Darnold?
01:35If I was coached by Jonathan Gannon, I'd probably play pretty miserably, too.
01:39Oh, OK.
01:41I mean, that guy cannot get anybody motivated, even if they pay him millions of dollars.
01:46I think Kevin O'Connell is the perfect guy to try to get this guy's headspace back in the right
01:52place because he's talented enough.
01:54We've seen it here locally.
01:55We've seen it on the national stage from Kyler Murray that he is uber athletically talented.
02:01He's got the football IQ.
02:03He really does.
02:04Does he want to show it?
02:05I think that whenever you're with a team that has shown in recent history that they can win with a
02:11revolving door at quarterback and that their coach is really good at getting through to these guys that do have
02:17very specific and notable inefficiencies.
02:20I think Kyler Murray has less inefficiencies than Sam Darnold does.
02:25So if he's able to tune into that and just say, hey, this guy's going to put me in the
02:28right position to win, then he's going to look great.
02:32Corey, is Aaron Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh and do you care?
02:38No and no.
02:40My answer would have been, I don't know, and no.
02:43I was just watching at the meetings.
02:46McCarthy's talking about his time as the Cowboys head coach.
02:49I'm sure he's going to be asked a ton of questions about Aaron Rodgers.
02:54And I just couldn't.
02:55I could care less.
02:58I couldn't.
02:58I could not care less.
03:01I don't want to know about Aaron Rodgers.
03:04Please, media, stop reporting Aaron Rodgers' words.
03:08Would you say media?
03:09Do you mean mostly Pat McAfee?
03:11Sure.
03:12Okay.
03:12I loved the version of Aaron Rodgers that won me multiple fantasy football championships.
03:19I thought he was one of the most aesthetically pleasing quarterbacks to watch for a long time.
03:23And right now, he is not.
03:26And I think he is done.
03:27And I think that he and Mike McCarthy should just go ahead and level that right now.
03:32Okay.
03:33All right.
03:34Next question.
03:34I'm sorry, Aiden.
03:35I know it's your favorite player of all time.
03:37Players get old.
03:39This next question is for both of y'all.
03:41I know it's all peace and kumbaya right now, but what's going to happen with Max Crosby?
03:48I know the Raiders are like, this is the greatest thing ever.
03:50We got Max Crosby back.
03:52Yay.
03:53What's going to happen with that?
03:55Nothing?
03:59Um, well, I think the Ravens saying what they said might have helped like galvanize him
04:03a little bit when they were just like, it was a slow media day, obviously.
04:07What a stupid thing for him to say.
04:09Um, but I actually think this might be a positive thing for Max Crosby.
04:14And he goes to the Raiders.
04:16He knows he can go anywhere.
04:17He's like, as long as my knee's proven to be okay, I can be traded to anybody.
04:22But, I did go to another team.
04:26I kind of went through the emotions of like, what it would be like.
04:30And then I'm back home and I feel like I'm excited to be back home again.
04:34So, it's not that they, I don't know, did they not want him?
04:37Is that the feeling that you think it is?
04:39Is there like, we didn't want you?
04:40Or they wanted the compensation so much?
04:42The Raiders wanted him.
04:44They just traded two first round picks for him.
04:46Yeah.
04:47I, um...
04:48Is that not...
04:49That's actually a good approach.
04:50Okay, yeah.
04:51Uh, but yeah, I think that, I think it's going to be fine, but he's going to always have
04:56this little chip on his shoulder about when I'm, I can go anywhere I want, as long as
05:00my knee shows I'm healthy.
05:02Alec, everyone is shiny, happy people.
05:05Is that the reality?
05:06Max Crosby just going to play there?
05:09I think it is.
05:10I think he's going to play there, but I would love if he just goes into every game, dominates,
05:16and then post-game, he kind of just stands at his locker, gives like a one-minute speech,
05:20and then doesn't take any questions and just leaves, because he's like, I hate this place.
05:24Yeah.
05:24Like, I don't want to be here.
05:25I don't want to talk to any of you.
05:26I wasn't supposed to be here.
05:28I was already looking at houses in Baltimore.
05:30Like, you know, I don't want to be here, so I'll give my little speech, kind of like Mike
05:35Tomlin at a presser, just like, here's what you need to know, and here's your
05:38quotes.
05:38I'm going home.
05:39See, I don't think he's thrilled to be back there.
05:42I really don't.
05:43I think he's kind of fed up with everybody there, as he should be, but I think he's going
05:47to play.
05:48I mean, he's a man of his word, and he's come out and said, like, no, this is where I'm
05:51supposed to be for whatever reason, so I'm going to ball out, and he's probably going
05:55to do just that.
05:57Corey, we go back to the quarterbacks.
05:59Is Tua going to be able to revive his career in Atlanta?
06:05How many quarterbacks do they have there?
06:08Him and Penix, and they're...
06:13Yeah.
06:14Chris Chandler.
06:15Chris Chandler retired like...
06:18Jeff George.
06:1930 years ago.
06:22I remember Chris Chandler.
06:24I honestly think it's going to be just kind of this, like, back and forth of which one,
06:29him and Penix, kind of like they were.
06:30They didn't know if they wanted Penix to be the quarterback.
06:33Right.
06:33And they're like, we kind of have to, though.
06:35We've spent a pretty high draft pick on him.
06:38So, and then they're looking at this one with Tua, and they're like, well, I mean, he's
06:42not that expensive.
06:44Yeah.
06:44Yeah, they get him for a million dollars.
06:46Yeah.
06:46So, I think they're going to...
06:49I think it's just going to be a back and forth that never satisfies anything, and they're
06:54probably going to end up looking at somebody else down the road.
06:57Gentlemen, question for both of you.
06:59If the numbers are good, will the NFL consider permanently switching to the Wednesday-Thursday
07:06opening combo?
07:08Hell yeah, they will.
07:08Okay, man, and you're fired up about that, because it gets us one day closer to football
07:13all of the time.
07:14I know they're like, oh, we had this game in Brazil, and that's why we had to...
07:18Lies.
07:19Tuesday night football is what we all are looking for.
07:21This was a test pattern for Wednesday-Thursday combo.
07:27Can't take Friday from high school.
07:28Exactly.
07:29I believe that it's actually prohibitive.
07:30But you can take Saturday from college.
07:32That you can.
07:33They've proven that a couple of different times.
07:35Alec, Corey says, hell yeah.
07:38If the numbers are good, will the NFL consider permanently switching to the Wednesday-Thursday
07:44opening combo?
07:45I'll double down on it, absolutely, because the numbers are going to be great, because
07:49we are all sick in the head.
07:51We all want football so bad throughout the year that we are going to watch the Browns
07:57versus the Jets at some point on Wednesday night, and we're going to like it for whatever
08:02reason.
08:02We are so addicted to NFL football, and we will willingly admit it by watching all of
08:08the games.
08:08It's going to be a success, and they're going to run away with it and start doing it every
08:13single year.
08:15Next.
08:15I can't wait.
08:16Okay.
08:17For 20 games.
08:19I mean, we've discussed this.
08:22You know, I think we're moving down that inevitable road.
08:24Are the Chargers doing enough to make Justin Herbert's life easier?
08:33His first was supposed to be Harbaugh, and then it's this and that, and obviously his
08:38offensive line was in shambles at times last year.
08:41He still has Quentin Johnson, huh?
08:44Does that automatically disqualify?
08:47He's got Ladd McConkie, so I guess he's doing all right there.
08:49No, I still think he needs a better weapon.
08:52Their offensive line, like that offensive line was problematic last year because it
08:57was built to be the next wall, and it turned out to be a very, like there were a bunch
09:03of
09:03holes that the, and the, the boy had to put the, you know what I'm talking about?
09:09You know the story?
09:10No.
09:11Tell me.
09:11There's the holes in the dam.
09:12Oh, I know.
09:13Otherwise known as a.
09:15Man.
09:16If you don't make it weird, you could have just said the expression.
09:21That wall is falling apart.
09:23And so.
09:23He wanted to say plug the holes in the dike.
09:26That is an accepted expression, but he made it weird and led up to it, and God.
09:33So, uh.
09:35So no, Kevin, I think is my answer.
09:37Alec, I missed the greater point.
09:40I'm glad he just cut right to the chase.
09:43Are the Chargers doing enough to make Justin Herbert's life easier, and are you going
09:47to make this super weird?
09:50Um, you know, Kevin, they once said.
09:53Son of a bitch.
09:54No, I'm kidding.
09:55They have not.
09:56If you want to make his life easier, you go and trade for Jalen Waddell.
10:00You go and trade for DJ Moore.
10:02You go and trade for AJ Brown.
10:04One of these names that, hey, it was pretty public that these guys could be had for the
10:08right price, you did nothing to try and add to that room.
10:12Like Corey said, I'm a TCU guy.
10:14I love Quentin Johnston.
10:15He's not that great.
10:17So if he's your number one option, you got problems.
10:20Like Corey said, they tried.
10:21They tried to address the offensive line.
10:23And on paper, it looked great going into last season.
10:26On paper, then injuries happened and they had no depth.
10:29And what does that do?
10:30It exposes how bad your pass catchers are.
10:33So one more, one last one for you guys, and this is something that comes up for every
10:38Super Bowl champion.
10:39How much will Seattle be affected by all of their losses so far?
10:46I think their defense, the philosophy, they're going to have to make sure they have the players
10:52to be smart enough to play in that defense because that defense is very complicated.
10:56It takes very intelligent players.
11:00They think that losing Kenneth Walker is not that big a deal because of the people that
11:04they have.
11:05It feels like they've been pretty upfront about that, right?
11:08Yeah.
11:09Kind of rude.
11:09Like he broke the game open for them multiple times.
11:13He's the reason they won the Super Bowl.
11:15In addition to how good that defense was.
11:17Like it was a good team.
11:20And I think, Kevin, at this point, they get the benefit of doubt for they made the decisions
11:26that got them to the Super Bowl last year.
11:28John Schneider put the team together.
11:30The coach coached his ass off.
11:32Things look pretty good.
11:33So I think that I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and everything's going
11:38to be fine.
11:39Alec?
11:40Okay.
11:40That segment is later about the draft.
11:43Overreaction.
11:44Damn it.
11:45Push.
11:45Oh my goodness.
11:47I am going to concede defeat.
11:49Oh, Alec, you weren't here for it yesterday.
11:51Go to the next segment.
11:51During the C Block Hits and Misses, we created a new category called Near Miss, where Jake
11:57Berger almost lost the weekend for us, but things turned out okay.
12:02Wouldn't a near miss be a hit?
12:04Because you nearly missed it.
12:06It's a near hit.
12:06You didn't.
12:07You hit it.
12:08Okay.
12:08You know what?
12:08Near miss, near hit.
12:10In between.
12:13T-M-N-T.
12:15T-M-N-T.
12:15We'll come up with it.
12:16Yeah.
12:16We'll come up with something.
