And then Schenetti, the head coach who said, I believe at his press conference, any coach that says Google me. Who said that? The head coach for the Hoosiers when he was being introduced, being like, hey, I win. Like, win, my boy

Kevin Whitell, who used to work with me, is now with the Ravens, is one of their top scouts. Yeah, so look, it's Charlotte. He's a significant guy. Yeah, so who knows?

Hoosiers? I mean, you type in, I tried to Google, I Googled Hoosiers head coach today and it came up Mike Woodson. So.

Google me. I

love that. We need to increase his awareness there a little bit.

I'll give you another screen. Okay. Screen me up. I can't beat Google me. But I don't know, I get, I get, maybe I'm just an 80s baby and I'm intrigued to see, and it's not like a prove it game or anything like that, but I just wanna keep a close eye on Miami this year. 7 p.m. ESPN at South Florida. South Florida can be pesky as we've seen. 3-0 Miami, this is the kind of game where Miami, in the whole, this like 20 year path of the U is back and all this shit, this is the kind of game where Miami can come out and do something stupid, right? Miami's, in the great years they've had, they'll go lose to the good program and it'll look ugly. But in those like mediocre years, they'll have a game against South Florida, where everything's exciting. It's early in the season. They're 3-0. They got to... Let's look at their schedule. I want to see their schedule real quick. Virginia Tech's next. Cal, Louisville. So it's not like they have anything... This schedule is

alarming and

easy. Yes. Yes. So you trip up in these types of games on the road South Florida kind of a tricky pesky opponent they've got Virginia Tech at home at Cal at Louisville Florida State at home Duke at home at Georgia Tech Wake Forest and Syracuse like you can't screw this up They could easily go undefeated. I hate to say that but like this is no No, tell me what game that they're gonna be underdogs in none none of them So I'm just saying like this this has one of those fields to before they look it's already gotten easier. I mean,

Virginia Tech. He started the year going, okay, they're in the mix. They lose the Vanderbilt. Although Diego, like harder, in my opinion is

Georgia Tech. Maybe Syracuse, Comma Corps. Yeah. Yeah. Light show, laser show. I'm telling you, he was so good

two weeks ago. Yeah, he was so good two weeks ago. All right. Um, let's do a little NFL here because you have Foxworth jumping. So we don't have to go give me, um, give me the three things that you want to do. And then we'll run through them. Like the things that you most want to talk about. Is it Kyler first? Um, can you want to go? You want to go young QBs? Go? Whatever you want to do, dude. We've been doing this long enough.

Yeah. Alright. First thing I'm going to throw it. Wait a second. Hold up. Everyone stop. Are the Saints good? The

offense is out of control right now.

Are the Saints good? Because I'm looking at this touchdowns on the first six drives last week, Clint Kubiak has come in and they're running that same offense, you know, the zone, the zone offense, exploiting, exploiting the numbers games upfront, making the every, every average running back looks really good. Every good running back looks great in this system for the most part. If you look over the years, like obviously it's the Denver, now it's Shanahan in San Francisco, Minnesota is running it with Kevin O'Connor, Johnson's running in Detroit, Green Bay, the Rams, like this system is proven and it works and Clint Kubiak comes in and it's 47 points in the first week. What's your complaint if you're a Saints fan in the first week? Ah, we kicked four field goals. You know, we didn't finish drives. They come in this week, they finished drives. What was it? Six touchdowns on their first six drives of the week. And they set a franchise record by starting the season with points on nine consecutive possessions in that 47 to 10 row of Carolina. But after week one, we're like, yeah, the Carolina sucks. Like the story was Bryce Young. Carolina's not any better. No one was talking about New Orleans. And now it's Dallas. And I get it. Dallas didn't get better. They just paid their star players more money right before the season started.

Yeah, but doing that to Cleveland's defense in week one, which I think we all would agree Cleveland's defense is going to be one of the better defensive units. they're healthy. And we saw that proof of that against Jacksonville. It's why I pointed it out, you know, going like, yeah, I think that was just nice for them to feel right. You know, because there's nothing worse than when you know, you have all this defensive talent, but you feel like you have no shot on offense. And now statistically, people will point to the defense for going like, Oh, what happened to that unit? And you're like, they gave up, like not, they didn't quit as competitors, but they were just like, this is fucking pointless. Because we can't do anything on this side of the football. So I think Dallas, putting it on that unit, like, I don't think Dallas is going to be bad all of a sudden. And as New Orleans is running away early, I'm thinking, well, they'd have CD, you know, Ferguson was out the tight end, but still, like, it's the NFL, You're gonna have to figure out a way to move the football without some of your guys. It's gonna happen to every single team. But then it just kept getting worse. And it's Kamara, like back on the scene, going, okay, we've got this dude who, when he first showed up, you're thinking like, is this one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in the NFL? Age can always be part of that. But I don't feel like they've used them so much. Like it still feels like there's a lot of tread there. And maybe it's early. It wasn't used that

much in college either.

Yeah, right. And maybe, well, because they were stacked at Tennessee, they were stacked at running. There were like four awesome guys that you had to hand the ball off to, but maybe this is going to happen again. And Carr feels like I, I've already done this too much but like I look at Mark Stoops and Mark Stoops will have hey what's going on with this guy then he has like a nice season in Lexington it's like let's re-sign him all right and by all accounts he's really good coach all right but there's never really anything that great with Kentucky football in a stack conference but it's enough at the right time but

it's the most winning the most winning that Kentucky's program's ever done and so it's right it's nice. So we're winning nine every year. But like Auburn can be the weirdest team ever because

Auburn will bring in the new coach, want them fired, and then they beat Bama and then he gets all this money. And then they want them fired again. And then maybe they fire them and then bring in somebody else. And then like last year where they lose to New Mexico, although I love their quarterback this year, Dampier. But when you look at Auburn season, it's like, we're gonna be super disappointing and have some bad losses or lose to Cal in 24 on top of everything else. But we're gonna almost beat Georgia and then almost beat Alabama. Okay, but the rest of it's going to be super, super annoying. So Derek bring the Titanic

back now bring

right now this is this is the lead up is that Derek Carr is a bit like that whatever that is, we're just when you think you're over them. I thought the Saints are gonna be really good last year just based on the opposing quarterbacks they were going to face. It was a dreadful of quarterbacks they were going to go up against. Didn't happen. But coming in this year, like maybe Derek Carr's due for one of those seasons, because he's had some of these in the past. Yeah, I've

never been a Derek Carr guy got me in a lot of trouble. He's coming out in the draft. He played really well early on. Everyone said I told you so. We had an awkward meeting meet and greet at Bristol when he came to campus. He keeps receipts. He wanted to fight Kellerman.

Yeah. Yeah. He keeps receipts and that's good. That's why I like him. He was a huge fan of SVP and Rosillo. So I just started and I didn't want

to fight him. Yeah, and you're a sellout. But I played the long game with Derek Horn, so far so good. But I'm watching him now and I'm like, Hmm, okay, new system. Systems good. Like this system fits him. Kamara seems like he's really comfortable in the system. Makes sense. It's a running back friendly system and like the play action, get the running backs involved in the passing game. Chris Olave, 37% of targets and through the first two games, making big plays, contested catches, great route runner. I don't know. There's a lot to be intrigued by and honest to God, there's like always coming in the season, there's like 10 teams, whatever the number is, like seven, 10 teams, they're like, they got a legitimate chance. Then there's like six, seven teams, you're like, they got no chance. And then there's a bunch of teams in the middle, whatever that number is, 15 or so, 20, 17 teams where they're like, you can break them up into maybe they got a chance to be good and show improvement. And like they're promising, or they're just going to be a middling team. They're going to win six to eight, nine games somewhere in that range. We know it's going to happen. And by the, for whatever reason, whether it's playing in the dome, maybe it's their ugly uniforms, in my opinion, they're just dreadfully boring to watch. You tell me like Saints Panthers inside the dome is on on Sunday. I'm out. You don't like their uniforms? I don't. Come on. That's just me. And I and the don't and I feel like their domes dark on

TV. Yeah, but it's awesome in there. Here's the thing. I don't really like going to NFL games as much as college. Everybody knows that. But when I've done the LSU Saints double header.

Oh, it's the best. Right. You're peeling yourself off the hotel bed. You got to drive 90 minutes down the road. What highway is it? Straight shot into New Orleans. You get to the game. You're licking your wounds, but you're there and now the crowd's going. You're excited. And like you wake up. I wake up. I love doing that. You get you get bat and ruse New Orleans weekend. Like any football fan out there, please do it. I beg of you. But I'm watching a 1 p.m. game of the Saints over the last five, seven years. Not the most pleasurable thing. So all I'm saying is one of my biggest takeaways and saying like, wait, are they they good? They might be good. So keep an eye on that. Two other two and no teams that impressed me. Minnesota, they just beat San Francisco. Yeah, I saw it.

My boys dealing at quarterback. Admit it. Okay, let me ask you this question because I asked it at the beginning. It's not about prospects. It's not about ceiling. But you're a GM. You need a quarterback. You can have Sam Darnold or Anthony Richardson from this day forth. Yeah, just blow your mind.

Sam Darnold. Oh, look out. I think I'm taking Sam Darnell. But I've got to, but he's got to be, he's got to be in this system. How unfair is that? How unfair is that to Richardson? Very, very unfair. I just worry about it. And another note of Anthony Richardson, like, gosh, he's so talented. I mean, there's nothing I can say right now that's not obvious. So, but there's 13 starts in college, does not translate very well in the NFL. And we still see like that first interception, he threw lazy footwork. This is 19th career start he just made this past week. Losing the green bay with that. College and pro combined. Yeah. And so you see it. Yeah,

the physical stuff. Like it's like watching a lag wave from Florida split reps. I'm

certain this is going to be clipped off. I'm certain I'm going to be wrong about those. Anthony Richards is going to like, you know, it's, it's going to take one full year of starting and then coming back the next year for him to start to show consistency and all that. And how do you bet against all that talent? But I'm telling you, I know, I'm seeing Sam Darnold. He never had the ceiling by any stretch of the imagination of Anthony Richardson, but he's been through the grind. He's failed in terrible places. He knows what it's like. He's on this redemption tour now. He's been coached well now the past what, two, three years. He's like finally been coached well. He's familiar with this system. I just, I love what he's playing with. He's not like, he's not the rich guy. Everything comes easy anymore. He's not that first round pick where he's plugged in and expect now he's the guy that everyone's counting out. And I like Sam Donald in that situation better than, you know, playing and trying to carry an organization that just couldn't be carried in two different places in New York and Carolina. Last

thing on the NFL, whatever you want to do.

Young quarterbacks struggling. Anthony,

we're going to be our young quarterback guy this year. What about Caleb last night? So I'll give you a positive and a negative.

And it was interesting when in the broadcast they were talking about at one point, they were talking about, you know, how encouraged they were by the offense and how he was handling the offense. And it was just the play before that jumped out, like how quickly he was getting everyone lined up, identifying things, setting his protection, had the running back was on the right side, moved over to the left. Like, I think mentally he is far more advanced than people think, physically from a in the pocket being that like drilled in reps, that's just not where he is. Here's the question I posed to myself when I was watching it last night. Is this, Caleb Williams, think about this for a second. Is this what Mahomes would have looked like if Alex Smith wasn't in Kansas City that year and they threw him in there? Well,

it's advantage Andy Reid, right, over Iberfluis. So that can't be debated. No, I- No, it's an awesome question. I totally get your saying. Yeah,

I'm supposed to say yes. Because if you ask my homes and I've told you this story before when I talked to him, I did the preseason game for the Chiefs when I talked to him. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I couldn't identify the mic, but he like expanded upon it. Just like I needed last year desperately. Like thank God I got last year. Thank God that Alex Smith was here. Thank God I had time to learn and sit back. So I just wonder, and is this gonna ruin him or is it gonna make him stronger? Is he gonna advance? Who knows what the progression's gonna be, but it's so easy to look out there and say, oh gosh, you missed that screen pass. You know, like after, after they were being, they were praising him for how quickly he's taking everything on and his footwork's not where it needs to be. He's so used to running around playing that style of football. He's trying to be a system quarterback and work within the pocket, which he's going to have to do to succeed. And Mahomes has transitioned to that and got better and better at that each and every year. I'm just wondering, okay, like pump the brakes. Everyone's so concerned. The Belichick clip that I told you about two weeks ago or last week is going to keep re-erroring. Like he's just not accurate. He's not very accurate. I don't know why everyone's so excited. Yeah, he's not right now. But when he like gets a,

you dropped it back Jones.

When he gets, I wasn't going to go there. When he gets more reps and he starts to, you know, gets through his first year and has an off season to look and study his footwork and all like, I don't think we get the highs can't get too high. The lows can't get too lows, get too low with with Caleb this year. The line is, he could have sat out a year and watched behind a really good veteran and maybe that would have helped him, but he's gonna learn on the job now and there's gonna be some moments like this. Yeah,

you're right. You're right, it's the Mahomes thing is really good, but I think if you're gonna be really good, you can get beat up for a year and still be really good.
