all right colin right colin wrong on a monday here we go where colin was right aaron rodgers one year deal with the steelers we have said listen they don't have a plan so here they are with a guy that's going to turn forty three years old at some point next year in the season and it's a one year plan and the steelers you know they don't want to bottom out and i've been on this for five years like would you guys treat quarterback like it matters not an interior old lineman or a slot receiver so the steelers it's just perfect they'll lead the nfl in defensive spending for a fifth straight years and they have no future plan at quarterback that

is the steelers where colin was wrong

sga beat wemby for the most valuable player i'm happy for him but i pick wemby about a month ago it's interesting because sga doesn't lead the nba in any major category none now he's a great player but generally you got to put like a stamp on something and i thought wimby as the best defensive player of our lives and jokic just the best player probably had an edge but sga proved me wrong where

colin was right i can remember when

the media predicted during cte football is beginning to end the big the regression is starting and then the schedule came out thanksgiving eve thanksgiving day black friday that is easily the best schedule of my adult life and then the christmas schedule is going to clobber the nba i mean it's unbelievable the star coaches the star quarterbacks the star rosters everybody i know kaepernick the league is in trouble the holiday games and the international games are so much better than at any time in my life it's not

Fox Sports Radio Announcer
close where colin was wrong i thought

the pistons defensive effort intensity and consistency would beat the up and down cavs and it went seven and they went on the road in game six and looked impressive but what a bagel yesterday and the problem is when detroit gets down twelve it feels like twenty four when they're down fifteen it feels like thirty because after kate cunningham there's not a lot of offensive greatness i really like watching them play i'm not against great defensive basketball but i don't like ugly offensive basketball and they just didn't

have enough bucket getters where colin was

Colin Cowherd
right been on this for years international players have won eight straight mvp's why because the american basketball culture is stuck in a rut too much aau too much about everybody getting paid in the g league not enough about player development too much about me not enough about we the football hockey baseball cultures to me collectively are about the team and growth and development and the basketball culture is too often about the player in the moment being taken care of often

pandered to where colin was wrong after
- [06:02]
Colin Cowherd
winning game one i thought minnesota would still probably lose the series but i thought we were going to have a tug of war for the next ten days the spurs average winning margin in the games they won was twenty five and it's scary because if you look at that t wolves roster i doubt julius randle's there next year that that minnesota roster is long smart deep physical experienced and wemby after the ejection they just i mean he had aunt edwards in the huddle congratulating them with eight minutes to go it was lopsided where

colin was right i said when the

cowboys traded micah parsons they would be more flexible have more good players not one superstar and would be better well what do you know they're over under this year was higher to start the season than last year and now it has moved up a game because of scheduling benefits that dallas has like they will not endure a single short week road game and have at least eleven days off before their two toughest road opponents so again there was this sense that the roof was caving in when micah parsons was going to traded and i kept saying guys jerry jones is an oil maverick he is a deal maker if you sign micah jerry's going to have very little opportunity to make deals but when they let him go quinn and williams kenny clark rashawn gary caleb downs dallas's defense with downs and added depth and resources up front is a different defense than the last year

they had micah where colin was right

i predicted the number one change you would see when the bus family sold to the dodgers owners would not be on the court it would be in the front office i said that's going to be the first move they're going to expand the front office the bus family are good people and they worked hard but it was a mom and pop operation what did the dodgers and now the new laker owners do hired two new assistant vice presidents to work alongside for the time being rob pelinka so there's that that's always been my complaint with the lakers is guys rob palenka was an agent and now you're asking him to be sam presti he doesn't have a scouting background that's not who he is and and that's why i've said i mean rob palenque is not i mean he made some good moves the scouting department found like alex caruso or austin reeves undrafted they made moves but they let caruso walk and you know they missed another draft pick so the the key to the new owners is not lebron the key is they're going to have a big boy front office and in the nfl you see this all the time go look at the rams and the eagles front office money they spent and look how well they draft there's an it's not a coincidence the bengals don't crush the draft they have a tiny scouting department and don't spend money on the right r and d where colin was right where colin was wrong be sure to

nick wright first things first is joining us live on a tuesday so i said i remember two thousand seven it was late may lebron twenty five twenty five straight line this is the same
- [13:27]
JJ Redick
take i did this on the volume podcast network two hours ago hey i gotta check i gotta check your streaming history you might have stolen my take colin god dog it that's what i was about to say to you may thirty first two thousand seven twenty two year old lebron and i was like he's just the best player in the world that's right kobe fans get mad at me they're like how was kobe never the best player in the world when he won the mvp in zero eight the title in zero nine the title in twenty ten i'm like well because that happened after i saw lebron do that and from that moment forward until he tore his groin on christmas his first year with the lakers from may thirty first two thousand seven until december twenty fifth twenty eighteen that guy was the best player in the world he just was and it felt like a different twenty two year old in the conference finals had that moment last night so we have the exact same take on this i think i and again lebron at that moment colin had never won an mvp had not played in a finals game i wimy hasn't won an mvp and i don't know if they're going to win this series but that was his moment last night where he told everybody i'm better at this than everyone else i just am and i give him massive credit for it go ahead didn't mean to jump you i can't believe we're in the
- [14:42]
Colin Cowherd
same spot no i mean i remember lebron was twenty two lebron was on the road lebron facing a great defensive team that was a number one seed lebron had previously beaten an old veteran team it's the same thing the difference is i mean this is what i love about the nba every single star magic steph lebron bird they they're all it's an art it's an artist's league which is why i don't like repetitive three point shooting let the athletes be great athletes i i i'm okay with you know the guard shooting threes but you know here's the other thing that jumped out to me i i said this months ago wimy changes the calculus on both ends sga is great he doesn't did this validate my opinion which is it's called most valuable player lebron should have been at fifteen years in a row wemby's the most valuable player
- [15:37]
JJ Redick
in this league well he certainly looked at last night listen i have to be fair i thought i think mvp has to be given out based on the season you had with the only potential you know addendums being i do think it should be harder to win your second than your first and your third than your second like it should get increasingly difficult but shay's numbers were what they were his team's record was what it was when we missed time at the end of the year thirty two a game on fifty five percent efficiency i thought shay deserved to win league mvp but he's not the best player in the world and he might have had i think going into the playoffs colin most people myself i thought joker was the best player in the world same and then given what happened to joker in round one and given the fact that he hasn't been to forget the nba finals the conference finals in the last three years it felt like all right that door is open and then wimby throws that elbow he misses a game shay sweeps the lakers even though he's not brilliant in the series and it felt like yesterday around eight pm eastern shai gilgeous alexander became the best player alive he was handed his second mvp trophy his team was undefeated in the playoffs they were the huge favorite to win the championship and then by about eight fifty five pm eastern it's like nah he's not even the best player on the court and i i don't think so i don't think wimby got snubbed just like in two thousand seven lebron didn't deserve to win mvp of the league even if in the playoffs he showed you he was the most valuable player and best player in the league i also i thought so much of last night was so fascinating and i don't want to over i'm not i don't think any of the stuff we're saying about wimby is prisoner of the moment i do think if people are saying the series is over that's prisoner of the moment i think okc absolutely can still win it yep this might feel prisoner of the moment colin but one of my biggest takeaways from last night is the take wimby and shea out of it the best big three on the court last night was in san antonio yeah i like dylan harper moving forward more than i like chet and i like castle moving forward more than i like j dub and so when you have that and then also i think wimby is just going to get better it does feel like even if they don't get it done this year san antonio it's weird there's a scenario where okc wins the championship it's second straight our first repeat champion in a decade and the team to beat going into next year is not them it's the spurs i think that's really on the board
- [18:31]
Colin Cowherd
so it's interesting i had something else i thought of and i remember talking to bill polian years ago and he said well we knew when we had peyton manning we were going to lead in the fourth quarter in most of our games so we wanted to get edge rushers yep and i thought that's pretty smart i can remember talking to a gm it's like when you played brady you had to have a pass rush you had to get to tom early because he would lead late and they'd run the ball in belichick's defense and so the really smart teams can see years ahead i'm watching him last night and if you're the lakers new owners bringing the band back is not competitive i thought to myself the answer is giannis for about three years that's it luca and austin reeves are not competing again this is not the nets this is the lakers it's about titles i thought he was so impactful last night that he is going to everybody else seemed inconsequential in the league would this not make you if you're the lakers thinking lebron if you're coming back we have to get bigger so i
- [19:42]
JJ Redick
think for the lakers and for everyone in the league you are looking at it and saying okay if we're in the west we're going to have to go through him to get to the finals and if we're in the east we you know a lot of the time we'll have to go through him in the finals so how do we counteract him and that to me was it's less about the lakers and more about giannis like i think giannis over the last few months his trade value seems to be dipping yes because it's like oh his age yep the injury history but i have watched healthy giannis matched up with wimby and i'm like man that's one of the only guys in the league that has the requisite athleticism strength and length you're right to give him a little bit of trouble nope to where if i feel like i have like joker obviously can do it but joker's not going anywhere so if i am right like i do wonder if if the spurs become the standard instead of the thunder does giannis become more even more attractive listen then
- [20:57]
Colin Cowherd
the new go ahead i think milwaukee was the second team to win last night i there's no question watching that game i thought i believe too giannis going down and i thought oh no no no no no that is giannis i think giannis is one of the only bigs that's strong enough to compete with him i thought the milwaukee strong
- [21:18]
JJ Redick
enough and long enough and make him work on defensively to where he has a little less energy offensively listen the nuclear level take is this colin if what we saw last night and again i don't think it will i think the series is going to go seven i think okc is going to get there blows in but let's just say this is just wimby runs roughshod and chet is a shell of himself and they are guarding wimby with alex caruso because he's the only guy on the team you know up for the challenge even though he's a foot shorter than him i again this is i wish i'll whisper this but not actually the nuclear take is could all of a sudden one of the teams in the giannis sweepstakes be oklahoma city could they be like we have all the assets they all of this if we have to go through that guy yeah i know that's kind of very anti what pressy would do historically but san antonio's now beaten them five out of six yep if they and again i'm not predicting this but if they go on to win this series in five and it's like we played this team ten times they beat us eight times and our super tall skinny guy seems to have offended their super tall skinny guy in a previous life and he just eats his lunch every single game they play does that make giannis more attractive i think that is a fascinating at
- [22:48]
Colin Cowherd
least hypothetical well they always say for for rich people you can't take it with you you got to enjoy some of it while you're here and my take is you can't use your seventh eighth ninth tenth best player and all these draft picks okay what are you going to do with them at some point you can't afford them use them get give them give them four maybe give them a starter three benches three picks and chad holmgren i mean again having the deepest roster can't once you've won a title and then you see this enforcer down the road it's like okay we've got all this you know lack of a term money we've got all this draft capital it's time to use because i think i think the depth of okc is wonderful against everybody not name wemby and listen we'll see
- [23:36]
JJ Redick
like there is you know we'll see the injuries that happened maybe the depth plays a bigger factor there there's i'm not again i don't want to they were massive favorite twenty four hours ago to win the whole thing yeah and the san antonio it's so crazy the way this is what i love about sports wimby stat lines on the screen forty one twenty four three and three yeah with twenty seven seconds left in overtime he had twenty nine points and they were going to lose and then he hit a thirty footer lit him on fire and double overtime and now we're like do the thunder need to make massive changes that's how thin the margins are i want to throw something else at you since evidently you and i are of total like mind on what we were watching last night maybe we're not on this one biggest winner last night's obviously wimby and by proxy kind of the league because after the last three years were like anthony edwards john morant jayson tatum who's the face of the nba after lebron it's this guy so wemby and them are the biggest winner you said giannis slash the bucks second biggest winner third biggest winner again maybe and maybe this is a little too galaxy brain ish might be the new york knicks if we're right that this series is going to be a seven game war okc golden state twenty sixteen style where whoever wins it comes out of it a little less than whole and a little worn out meanwhile the winner of the east had been resting for a week i and keep in mind the knicks beat the spurs in the nba cup the knicks beat the spurs at msg one of the last games the spurs lost in the regular season that wouldn't be played i do wonder if there is if the knicks feel like man if we can keep on this role and dispatch of cleveland quickly and these two guys are throwing absolute haymakers for two weeks does that give us a chance to jump on whoever wins this series in game one again probably the nba finals is playing out right now in the west but i do think there could be a little bit of damage done to each other in that series and if the knicks can get out of the east quickly it opens up a small window for him it it does
- [25:56]
Colin Cowherd
feel a little seahawks rams like whoever wins this game those are the two best teams and good luck new england you know i think i think the knicks are here's the problem with the knicks if they face san antonio stefan castle takes jalen brunson and it's just a really he that kid is a
- [26:15]
JJ Redick
bullied unbelievable oh my god castle had the best eleven turnover game i've ever seen in my life yesterday how about this i heard them say on the broadcast they're like that was his eleventh turnover i was like it was i didn't even realize but he was still
- [26:29]
Colin Cowherd
impactful how about this dylan harper he's the best rookie point guard in a big game i've seen since magic he is unfaced seven steals one turnover twenty five this is the best defense in the league he's on the road it's his first start he's an ins to me i always thought it was wemby and castle i think i think this kid in wemby could be first email nba and castle second team and becomes their bully he becomes their backcourt bully
- [27:01]
JJ Redick
well and it also makes them have a lot of flexibility with the aaron fox down the road if they want to use some picks and a big contract to add another piece themselves i dylan harper finding out an hour before tippy starting and responding with twenty four points eleven rebounds like you said one turnover seven steals in a western conference finals at twenty years old was absolutely remarkable i thought he was spectacular i thought obviously in a losing effort but the best player on the thunder yesterday was alex caruso who was up for the challenge on both ends of the court and was sensational and colin you'll like this you could maybe have your producers pull it at some point there's a great clip floating around today of caruso from five years ago after the lakers let him walk where he's on a podcast and he's laughing about how the lakers low balled him after he won a championship with them and prioritized taylor horton tucker and that's why he ended up with chicago yeah and the host of the podcast can't believe it and is cackling about the mismanagement of rob pelinka the host of that podcast is jj redick he's so it's a nice little snapshot to twenty twenty one caruso and jj laughing at pelinka's expense now of course jj and palinka have a bit of a working relationship one
- [28:30]
Colin Cowherd
more thing i gotta ask a lebron question reports yesterday from shams blake griffin be nice to shams come on blake contenders are pursuing lebron you buy it
- [28:45]
JJ Redick
yeah well yeah i mean i think that i think every single team that matters has reached out i would imagine i'm not reporting this at all i haven't talked to anybody but this is what i would imagine has happened every single team has reached out to rich paul and said hey if the reports are true that lebron if he leaves the lakers would take the mid level maybe even the minimum yeah we'd like to be in the lebron james business if we can get lebron james you know lebron james on the team for what isaiah joe makes you know what sign us up i do imagine that is true that every that i think the nuggets i think the celtics i think every single team that is trying to win the title next year that is trying to find out is it true we can get lebron you know for ten cents on the dollar if so you know consider us we we'd like to have a meeting i imagine that is true i i want to
- [29:44]
Colin Cowherd
end with this i said as great as larry bird was i'd seen about eighty percent in the seventies as a kid it was rick barry i'd seen michael jordan be great but i saw about seventy percent of that called david thompson i'm showing my age but there are six players that have in my lifetime they are just different doctor j's highlights today would be as spectacular as any in thirty years magic a six nine point guard never seen it steph shooting range shaq's power and lebron at six nine and a half his speed to literally beat guards off the dribble shut down derrick rose chase down elite athletes and block the shot i've never seen anybody i mean he could be an nfl all pro tight end i don't even think we dispute that that's given and then wemby wemby last night i'm like okay there are things here literally the spurs lead the nba in three pointers from the corner people think he's a defensive player it's like folks you can't i mean he i think he's you don't have to be the league's never needed a face of the league but he's not only great he is so unique and i think those kind of legacies laugh last for i don't think there's that many players that literally are their games are unique i think he's one of six i really
- [31:06]
JJ Redick
do well the thing is i so here's i don't know if this is agreeing with you or disagreeing with you but there was some real poetry in last night because the player he's always reminded me of and the player that i have always felt before he tries to chase down lebron and jordan the guy the first guy he wants to check off the list is akeem olajuwon the best international player ever is akeem wemby's coming for that the best defensive player since bill russell is akeem wemby's coming for that and then once he passes akeem then you then he you know tries to move up the list to become one of if not the greatest player ever and akeem was while he didn't shoot threes because back then you know only a handful of players shot threes he was the best mid range shooting big man ever he was the best defender in the league while being able to give you thirty a night wimby has taken all of that added seven inches of height and twelve feet of range and has been a different player but the reason last night was special was because we talked about a day in may in two thousand seven well may twenty fifth nineteen ninety five akeem olajuwon sat across the court from david stern as david stern handed david robinson an mvp trophy that akeem was damn sure belonged to him and hakeem said to kenny smith and anyone that would listen to i'm going to show the world who the mvp is tonight and thirty one years later nearly to the day wemby did the same thing akeem that night had forty one points sixteen rebounds four assists two steals three blocks wemby last night had forty one points twenty four rebounds three assists one steal three blocks thirty years thirty one years almost the day later two guys international unprecedented big men saw someone else win an award that they actually didn't really deserve but they thought they did and then they went and embarrassed that guy on their home court it's

was naming the top ten players left in the nba we thought about it this morning who would be the top ten players left actually one of the harder spots is at the bottom i would probably do james harden at ten listen everybody can beat up on him this morning and he's a huge defensive liability but we have in his his turnovers have shot through the roof but there are times in playoff games where cleveland needs a basket and if donovan mitchell's in foul trouble or donovan mitchell's not on the floor he's an incredibly deft offensive player i would put hard net ten number nine is jalen williams again didn't play much this season very good player i'm not as high on him as everybody else though i think he's a very good player he's going to give you twenty points he's going to defend he's going to give you you know five rebounds i just always feel like the team is really centered around sga and their bigs people probably think i have this too low but my number eight player i would put above him one spot is donovan mitchell who gets criticized because he can't defend that's fair but he's the seventh highest point per game player in league history in the playoffs he's just behind lebron james donovan mitchell leads the cavs in virtually everything i mean like points steals assists three pointers donovan mitchell when donovan mitchell gets hot he can be on a class of very elite players in the league now he plays in the silo sometimes you give him the ball you never see it back he's not going to defend you he's not a perfect player i put him at eight you're going to go crazy but i would put twenty year old dylan harper at seven he's the best rookie guard i've seen since magic johnson i think he's going to be all nba either next year or the next year i mean he is an insane talent rebounds for his size incredible first step can use both hands he is a significantly better player today than four months ago i mean you he's got wemby's going to get all the discussion and wemby certainly improved especially on the offensive end this kid's exploding as a player i put him seven i would put carl anthony towns the new carl anthony towns at six the one that has tripled his assist numbers the one that has become a offensive initiator and hub now he's not much of a defensive player he can be a little kooky i mean he'll get four fouls faster than anybody but we got to be fair during this eight game streak when he has been a play initiator the knicks are eight no he's been sensational number five stefan castle he is a defensive bully just a tough heart now his his jumper can be a little streaky i love him though i think the thing about him that i love is he can be intimidating physically like he'll he'll go after your guys like that's why i think like he'd go after brunson he'll be like okay i'm gonna win you out for six or seven games i think he's a tremendous player he's a nineteen five and five guy he's shooting forty five percent this postseason so you gotta like that he's still working on that everybody loves stefan castle number four i think he's one of the most underrated players in the league og on an obi is he the best three and d wing in the league i mean last night's a great example he's playing at about seventy percent last night dominates overtime scores nine of his fourteen points get to the free throw line eight times if you talk to coaches and gm's in the league they think the knicks stole him from toronto he is a classy hard working big body tough three and d wing he was money last night he's just got that he mean like there are certain people you see in the elevator and you were like oh you must be a pro athlete that guy fills out the uniform he's planted about seventy five percent now i generally put him above jalen brunson but he's planted about seventy five percent so number three would be jalen brunson yes he can get worked but he is i mean if you look at his fourth quarter numbers since he has joined the knicks he's not only a good fourth quarter player he's got eighty nine more points than anybody else in the fourth quarter and because now he didn't have the ball in his hands as much with the new offensive offense with cat play initiating he's got great energy so yeah i mean he's just one of those guys it's just remarkable he's in dallas he's a good player but he didn't necessarily always fit with luca and it just was a springboard to let him be the quarterback of the knicks and now the knicks have said we love you so much we're going to protect you and take the ball out of your hands at times and it's been magic eight no since they started doing that number two two would be shea sga listen reigning mvp not a wildly vertical player not a great defensive player he can get hunted not like luca but he can get hunted not like harden but you know what he's i mean if you just look he's got an nba best twenty five games with thirty plus points over the last three postseasons he's your get a bucket guy we talk about the playoffs all the time got you need bucket getters i love the pistons they need another bucket getter sj is as good as anybody in the league at that number one i would have voted an mvp best defensive player arguably ever youngest player twenty two all time with forty points and twenty rebounds in the playoff game is he wilt well they have totally different games is he a young lu al cinder different games but closer i love everything about him unapologetically aspirational he wants to win every award i said he's steak free it may be traditionally french but it's steak and potatoes it's american too this kid is everything outspoken smart worker intimidating great teammate i even like the pose i'm sorry i think that's i love this it's a little american it's a little lost so what i love

now the athletic has a very interesting poll out today we'll talk about it tomorrow j mac it lists players in tier one tier two tier three tier four tier five and in every tier there's like tier one a tier two b tier one you know c very interesting where austin reeves lands okay whatever let's not get sidetracked host of out of pocket with rg three podcast fox sports college and football pro analyst is now joining us live i have defended the twenty fourteen playoff for a bunch of reasons one of them is you know i was told the twelve team playoff would kill the regular season and the attendance went up and the ratings went up because college football is a very parochial very provincial and this is what i love about it it's very tribal and auburn alabama is going to matter till the day they put me under i mean it's just it's texas oklahoma everybody hates texas in the state of texas right like baylor texas anybody and that stuff you got a plaque on the wall it's so tribal now what do i worry about not much okay let's just start with i don't worry about much i think i'd be okay with sixteen i get twenty four how does it all land for you yeah

colin i think for me the college football playoff has to expand and it's it's the reasons that no one is like truly addressing it's because of where we're at with nil and other college sports having to be taken away because universities can no longer afford to pay both the athletes and cover all these other sports that are non money makers
- [44:52]
Colin Cowherd
for them that's right most of them
- [44:53]
Guest Analyst (possibly RG3)
right most of them so i think so far there's been a thousand programs a thousand plus programs since twenty twenty one when nil became you know a thing or since twenty twenty five should i say when the the house settlement came came through that those programs have been eliminated it's because of the rising costs of college football right if your roster costs you fifty million to to spend that's that's fifty million that you're spending solely on football that's taking away from gymnastics men's women's tennis everything under the sun so what i put out today was my criteria of what if i was the commissioner of college football how would i structure the twenty fourteen playoff to kind of alleviate some of the concerns that fans have the number one concern i've heard is we don't want any four loss teams in the college football playoff cool make that a stipulation if you have four losses you don't get in yeah all right is it the power four and everyone else or is it the fbs because if it's the fbs college football playoff then i think there should be auto bids for all ten conference champions as long as they don't have four losses then you do fourteen at large bids for the teams that are the ranked the highest and you don't stipulate the big ten gets this many the sec gets this many whatever it is to me that's the best way forward and we can finish college football before the second week of january so there's not this confusion of less hype going into the national championship game like there has the past few seasons because you're competing with the nfl so i'm for the twenty fourteen expansion because i actually like college sports and i don't want to see those go away and college football is the one that supports most of these
- [46:40]
Colin Cowherd
sports anyway yeah it's been interesting to me like in government i know that a lot of government programs social programs they're not they're not built to make money like we all know that right but i've argued with my friends business is built to make money but government's not business but college sports has always been in the middle a lot of it's like well it's good for society to have a fencing team and my take is no college sports is business it's not government you can't have thirty six programs and thirty four hemorrhage money like at some point and the point was about three years ago bills are due okay so we've talked about i mean it's it's interesting when you went to washington you're a rookie quarterback and i look at mendoza and i'm like okay so with a college football he played sixteen games great schedule he started at cal he got a lot of starts they did enough things at indiana that had a pro vibe to it right also he's a pretty mature focus kid i think that matters he's he's you know he wouldn't even go to the white house he's like i'm not going to do that and then i look at the first team they play miami probably the weakest roster at home new coach new system new quarterback and i'm like i like starting my this is the layup this is the only layup on a schedule do you think that would influence a coaching staff that it's miami and it's at home i
- [48:08]
Guest Analyst (possibly RG3)
think coaching staff will tell you colin that they don't look at those things but they one hundred percent do and and what i feel about fernando mendoza is all the things that you just said he's got the experience he's got the right head on his shoulders and it's not like with kirk cousins in the roster they're just you know a quarterback away from making it to the super bowl so if you're trying to protect fernando mendoza away from bad scheduling or maybe getting too many losses on his record too early and maybe it crushes his confidence i don't think that's the case i think kirk cousins is there if you're going through the off season program you get into training camp and you're like you know what fernando's just not ready we're going to start kirk and then if it doesn't go well with him fernando can come in and he can be the hero but i think in in our experience and what we've seen even a guy from my own draft class with russell wilson when they brought in matt flynn in seattle and they thought to themselves all right we're going to start him he's going to be the guy but russell just outplayed him i think that's what you have to look at here with fernando mendoza and kirk cousins yes it's a hefty price tag to have him there being the backup with that amount of money paid to him but if fernando's the guy i believe he's the one that brings the mentality and brings the bravado and the confidence for the rest of those young guys the aston genties the brock bowers so they can grow together i'd rather see those guys go out there and play and start to build those bonds than to protect fernando if he's ready to roll so

years ago when sean mcvay got the job with the rams he didn't play any of his starters in the preseason and everybody said oh you got to build calluses it's a big mistake well rams go eight no everybody's copied him since is that i mean even the nfl is reducing games and the preseason's pretty awful college football doesn't even have a preseason and you're talking nineteen twenty year old kids so i think the preseason maybe i think you should do intersquad games i'd get rid of it if you're going to ask him to play eighteen i just get rid of it so it's interesting when i you know justin herbert's not at camp lamar is not at camp aaron rodgers is a mystery man you know he shows up is it possible that camps are
- [50:18]
Guest Analyst (possibly RG3)
overrated for quarterbacks for veteran quarterbacks who are established it's overrated like i totally agree with fernando mendoza skipping the white house and showing up because he's trying to show his teammates that it's not about what i did in the past it's about what i'm going to do in the future right that's just checks the box for you but i think this issue with lamar jackson is a complete non issue like you just brought up herbert's not at camp i remember brady wasn't at camp and and rogers wasn't at camp and you could say yes one hundred percent justified brady did it after he won super bowls rogers did it after he won super bowls but lamar jackson is a two time mvp he's a proven player they know what they're going to get from him and he's been there for the majority of the off season workouts so you know we're not talking about marlon humphrey not being there we're not talking about calais campbell not being there shout out to my guys i'm not trying to throw them on the bus it's just more of a situation of these are veteran players that are also leaders on the team and i get it you got declan doyle there the new offensive coordinator and you want him to work in with lamar and i think lamar has done that by being present and if lamar jackson is missing off season workouts that are voluntary i mean we both know allen iverson said we're talking about practice here practice yeah i'm okay with that if he's given back to the community which i've seen him be doing he got his jersey retired he's out there playing with the kids all those things i think trump going to a voluntary workout but at this point it is about perception and i think lamar has been aware of that which is why he's shown up more in recent years instead of skipping out on the entire program but i think it's a complete non issue so the two
- [52:00]
Colin Cowherd
schedules that jumped out to me one of them is the kansas city chiefs so this team when they let go of trent mcduffie and joe tuney the last two years those are two great players in their prime they are now old at key spots and unproven at others outside of creed humphreys right there's some old guys and unproven guys they face six pro bowl quarterbacks in a row late in the year that's a lot i mean if you go last year the lions and the giants had similar runs against pro bowl quarterbacks and it just unraveled their seasons and not only to the defense but if you're a quarterback and you look at that schedule you're like do you start pressing be like i this is i'm because let's be honest you're playing a great quarterback you're thinking about it all week when you look at i think the chief schedule is outrageously brutal do you think it matters i think it does
- [52:54]
Guest Analyst (possibly RG3)
matter and i think it was done on purpose you talk about like the mindset of a quarterback when you're going into a week and you know you're playing the creme de la creme it's a more competitive thing for you it doesn't mean if you show up there and you know the quarterback across from you is is you know not good at all like you're not going to work hard it's just more of like you take that competitiveness of i got a hall of famer or a pro bowl guy all pro across on the other side i want to show that i'm the best guy and coaches look at it that way too so yes it does matter to the players but i think this is even bigger for the nfl they they understand that patrick mahomes is coming off of a significant knee injury and they probably didn't want to load the schedule too early with those types of games but they know that as the season goes on if mahomes does play week one he's only going to get better and more healthy as the year goes on you would assume so backloading the schedule really puts the chiefs in a situation where yes you have to finish strong but hopefully your quarterback is now at one hundred percent when you go into those games and the offense is clicking on all cylinders so i think it's a very strategic move by the nfl to backload the schedule not knowing what patrick mahomes is going to be like early in

the year all right aaron rodgers just spoke to the pittsburgh media told him this will be his last year in the nfl what is your yeah what how's that land for you yeah i
- [54:22]
Guest Analyst (possibly RG3)
mean it's a fair world world tour you know i think aaron rodgers is one of the all time greats but i also think that him coming back to the pittsburgh steelers makes them legit afc north title contenders and legit super bowl contenders as well and i said that you know a few days ago to some you know maybe some pushback maybe some agreeance but i just think when you look at this steelers team last year they were abysmal throwing the football i mean they couldn't protect him he couldn't push the ball down the field and if you go look at who he had on the roster it was like god you know i kind of get it you know who is he throwing to now he's got dk metcalf they bring in michael pittman junior from the colts they draft jeremy bernard from the from alabama and now he's got six foot four six foot four six foot one wide receivers out there that he's used to throwing the ball to so colin as i was going through all this it's like yeah we can talk about the improvement of the offensive line and how this team is going to be their identity is going to be running the football with jalen warren and rico dowdle but really what this steelers team needs to be is they need to be the twenty fifteen denver broncos peyton manning was not he i know i'm pretty sure he hates when i say this or when other people says he was not great in twenty fifteen when they won the super bowl that's right but he was great at protecting the football on their playoff run he was great at late game execution and they had a hell of a defense in a running game that's what the steelers have to be with this version of aaron rodgers because he's not as mobile but i do think that there is hope and he wouldn't come back and partner with the guy that he won a super bowl with and mike mccarthy in green bay if he didn't feel like they could win

the best you bet college and pro stuff always thoughtful yeah aaron's last year i mean we said it yesterday if you look at the schedule they're going to start really well the question is the last eight games the first eight games if pittsburgh six and two or seven and one they're healthy remember they went out and got michael pittman so they got another they got another wide receiver i mean the roster's fine in that division it's fine we tend to think the bengals schedule plays into them they they short up their defensive line baltimore's got the best roster in division i still think should do her cleveland has drafted so well the last two years i think the browns are going to stumble into five or six wins i really do i think cleveland's got i think andrew barry's really smart as gm i think they draft really well he went and got four starters this year day one starters brought to you
