Triple back alert triple back alert triple back alert triple bag alert folks
That's right
I had already recorded the episode prior to these other two bag alerts and I'm thinking to myself
Okay, everything is gonna be personally fine
But guess what we got smacked with two more bag alerts to make it a triple bag alert
Okay, DJ more gets paid Tristan works gets paid and David got chow got paid
We're gonna talk about all three of their contracts. Okay, as well as is this a historic offseason
for wide receiver contracts as well as my predictions on who will get paid next
Okay, as well as the details have finally come out about Matthew Stafford's
Restruction do we have to go over it
We have to talk about it and what does this mean moving forward between him and the Rams all of this and more
On what the 20th? That's right. We have made it to 20 episodes folks. Thank you everybody for your support
We got a lot more coming down the road. So get so get ready cuz guess what?
We ain't stopping. We'll never stop. All right. We're gonna keep on going. We're gonna keep on giving the bag alerts
We're gonna keep on giving the analysis in the fix that all of you junkies need. I am your host
Kale who currently is in Malibu, California
sipping a
Long Island looking at the beach and the dolphins go by who's ready lock it. I am let's go
All right folks, okay, you know what? We're just gonna jump right into the news. Okay, we're gonna go right into the bag alerts
We're not gonna delay anything. We're not gonna try to stall. We're gonna go deep into these bag alerts
Okay, first bag alert. Okay, DJ more receiver for the Chicago beers
Ain't a four year one hundred and ten million dollar deal. Okay, eighty two point six million in total guarantees
And he's making twenty seven point five million a year, right? So when you look at it, that's a really good deal
Honestly speaking here, right now, let's look at his stats before we go a little bit deeper into
The bag alert, okay, so when you look at DJ Morris twenty twenty three stats, right?
He had a hundred thirty six targets for ninety six receptions for one thousand three hundred sixty four yards eight touchdowns
seventy point six catch percentage and
And and and and and and I'm forgetting about this, but I'm glad so on of my notes
5.6 receptions per game as well as
80.2 receiving yards per game and when we look at this here, right?
DJ more has been a dynamic receiver since coming into the league. Okay, I
Remember when he was coming out of Maryland, there was a lot of people that were speculating like okay
He's a first-round pick. He's a second-round pick is a third-round pick
I would have easily taken him in the first round simply because of the skill set that he was bringing into the league
Okay, you're talking about somebody who is able to create separation at a very high level
You're talking about someone who can be a deep threat
You're talking about somebody who you know once he gets the ball in his hands
He's trying to go for the he's trying to go for the touchdown that that's his end goal his end goal is the end zone
It's not to just get the first down or to get 15 yards or 20 yards
No, he is trying to score every single time he gets the ball in his hands, right?
And that is what the Chicago Bears are
Basically keeping at this point because let's be real here folks the best thing they probably could have ever did
Was get DJ more and then give the Panthers
You know the first pick of that draft because honestly speaking it's looking like so far that
Things are going to pay off pretty well for the Bears, especially for the offense because when you look at it
They got the quarterback in Caleb Williams. They have the Andre Swift now
They have Keenan Allen Roman Dunes a and DJ more that's a really potent offense folks
I don't care what anyone says that is a sleeper of an offense that people are going to have to worry about
Especially once Caleb Williams gets his feet wet and he really starts to understand
You know the ins and outs of different defenses and whatnot man, you are talking about a big
Problem, alright, so well actually, you know what? Let's let's actually give a little bit more detail into DJ more, right?
So so far he has had four one thousand yard seasons, right and since 2019
More has had over 100 targets in every season
You are talking about a baller of a player
You're talking about somebody who the Bears knew that they that they were gonna have to lock him up
Okay, he he is a great player on and off the field. He doesn't get in trouble
He's a dynamic, you know player and you know, basically
He is who he he is what you see on tape
You're talking about somebody who can do it all and he contributes at a very high level
And you know, he's always wanting to make the big play. That's who DJ Morris
So congratulations to him right in his bag alert now moving on to David gotcha, right defense attack before the Patriots
He ain't a two-year
21 million dollar deal. He gets 16.5 million guaranteed now when we look at this deal, right?
You know, this is someone of a you know, just I wouldn't say like a like a small deal
I would say this is sort of like an insurance policy
Honestly, and the reason why I say that is because with things unveiling with
Christian Barmore, correct?
The Patriots are in a situation where they have to figure out exactly what are they going to do moving forward because
There is no timetable for Christian Barmore coming back
It's not because he has blood clots and blood clots can be a little bit difficult to you know to deal with it
What now right and so the Patriots are trying to figure out exactly?
You know, what can they do to somewhat quote unquote stop the bleeding when it comes to the defensive line position?
Right because Christian Barmore was literally their best defensive tackle. Okay, and you know, David gotcha
He is
Hey, he's not someone where like his stats are gonna are gonna woo you over and whatnot
He's somewhat of a complimentary player who you know, he he can get his hands dirty
That's who David got a gotcha is and so, you know, they basically, you know, we're thinking to themselves
Okay, we'll give him this small extension probably bring in somebody which they did they brought in Mike Purcell and
you know, just go from there and try to see what happens now and
You know and this this this wasn't in my notes, but I think it definitely does need to be talked about
The Patriots are somewhat in in a contract situation with
Matthew Jodon now for those who don't know Matthew Jodon is looking for more money, but the problem is I
Don't think the Patriots are trying to pay him the money that he probably wants and what you're starting to see now is a trend
Where a lot of teams are not?
I'm trying to
Let go of their players and you know, I had this conversation with you know with with Luke
You know shout out shout out to Luke because he definitely brought it up, you know players like Brandon IE
We drew it on
T Higgins and whatnot are basically being held captive, right?
And in a way where you know, the team doesn't want to pay them, but they don't want to trade them
So it's like exactly what the hell do you want to do, right? Especially for someone like a Brandon IE
We're if we're being real here folks
There is no reason under the Sun that the 49ers should still be able to pay a lot of their players
There's just no way they have lyric
They have multiple players on that team on both sides of the ball that they have reset at their markets
Okay, Deebo Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle if I'm not mistaken
Nick Bosa
Fred Warner if I'm not mistaken as well, you know when when they had Eric Armstead and the Forrest Buckton, right?
So I just don't understand
Why is there so much of a holdout hold in type of situation with a lot of teams now?
Like if you guys aren't willing to pay the player let him go
Let him go just let him go recoup a draft pick or draft picks in return and use those draft picks to try to figure out
What you want to do moving forward because if you don't guess what's gonna happen the longer that this holds down
The worst is gonna look on y'all and guess what as the days go by
That value that was once in place is now going is now dissipating
We literally saw that with Justin Fields because remember
When when the word was going out that you know that the Bears are going to trade Justin Fields
A lot of people were speculating that the Bears were going to be looking for this boatload of picks and you know
High draft picks and whatnot
He didn't even go he didn't even go he didn't go to the Patriot
I mean not the Patriot excuse me. He didn't even go to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a third round pick, right?
Justin Fields didn't even go for a third round pick. So as the days go by
The value for someone like a Junon or Brandon are you is going to fall and you won't have as much leverage
I don't care who the player is. I don't care what their stats say. I don't care what major accomplishment
They have achieved over their career
It still does not stop the fact that they have to do something
Now instead of trying to play the long game, okay
Now it may work for certain players who may not have a whole lot of leverage who may not have
Achieve the things that these type of players have achieved
But when you're someone like a Junon who you know that if you go on to any of these any of these other playoff
Calibre caliber teams like the Ravens like the Lions like the 49ers or even the Chiefs
Guess what? Oh, you're a difference maker. Oh that changes the whole
Playing field because why you are someone alone who can who can go and create and can be a
Disruptor and create a big play when a big play is needed not to mention guess what?
Offense are now going to have a problem on trying to game playing you and the other pass rusher that you're going up
That you're teaming up with right?
So I say all that to say this
Patriots if you guys are not going to pay Jude on you might as well
Just want to let him go at this point the team is still going through rebuild team is still trying to you know
Figure themselves out. They they don't even know what's left and right and what's right and left
They don't know any of that. They're still going through, you know, the heartaches of you know of a very tough rebuild
So just let him go just let him go. It's not gonna hurt you guys
It's not now granted
It'll be different if he gets traded within the division then it's like that's gonna be bad because you have to see him
Twice the season, but if you trade him outside of the division who really cares at this point, right?
So I mean hey it is what it is at this point if you guys if you guys aren't going to pay
Then you have to figure out what's the next step?
At this point and I'll just leave it at that now on to the mega bag alert
Okay, the mega bag alert, you know what I was waiting. I was waiting
I literally woke up the next day when you and I was looking at my phone
I'm like, all right cool. I'm going on a walk with my dog and whatnot. Next thing I know I kept on hearing my phone
Like what's going on is someone calling me something going on no
Tristan worse got paid
Tristan worse got paid folks. Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy Tristan worse got paid?
You know, we have we also have something we also have to talk about that as well, but let's just get into the details first
Okay, now Tristan worse. Okay tackle for the buccaneers
Ain't a five-year
140.6
$3 million deal. He gets eighty eight point twenty four million in
Guarantees, okay now when we look at Tristan worse Tristan worse already has had someone of a really good career
So far, right?
You're looking at someone who was an all-pro who was a Super Bowl champion who has played both left tackle and right tackle at an
Elite level, right?
This is someone who is one of the best right tackles. Well, I don't even say right time
I would say one of the best tackles, right?
When you when you look at someone like a Pinesu well Tristan worse is right there with him
You know pretty this is what I was saying me personally
I had a feeling that something was going to come down the pipeline sooner or later because
The buccaneers realized that you know, they need someone like a Tristan worse on their team
You can't let someone like that go you just can't you're talking about someone who can play right tackle at the elite level and
Left tackle at the league level that is rare
That is rare. That is rare. You don't just see that, you know every single draft
You don't no matter who the person is no matter what school they went to. Okay, you don't see that. That's a very rare
Okay, what we are we are witnessing right now is someone who is able to be a swing tackle
And an all-pro level on both sides of the ball, right? That's what we're seeing and you know
They finally were able to fairly compensate him and you know now he is the highest pay tackle
In the league now me personally when I when I was putting down my notes and I was going to do a prediction
You know for for his deal
Originally the deal that I had for Tristan worse was four years 120 million which would be 30 30 million a year
He got 28.1
Petty right. I know 28.1
Million so I say all that to say this, you know congratulations to the Buccaneers you guys, you know, definitely prioritized
Making sure that you take care of your own players, which is great. Honestly
But you know who is to say that you guys won't be somewhat of a dark horse within your division
Because as of right now in my opinion
The only other team that they really have to worry about is the Falcons and that's not even a whole lot really
Honestly speaking here. Okay, they can do something the buccaneer
The buccaneers could definitely make some noise
especially if they if they try to maybe you know make a splash and maybe free agency or a trade or something
They might be able to make some noise now granted. I understand that they've lost, you know, some people and whatnot and you know
Every team does but they can still do they can still make some noise
Now isn't going to be on the offensive side of the defensive side. I don't know again
I keep telling you guys my crystal ball is on recall
I have to return it back to the crystal ball store in order for me to get a refund or a
replacement now moving forward, okay
We have to talk about this offseason when it comes to the receiver position, right?
We just have to talk about that
Because in my years of watching
Football now, I know I probably sound very old when I say this I have never seen so many so many players in one position
Get paid big money. I'm talking about big
Money, right? So let's just go over some of the notable receiver contracts as happened in this offseason alone, right?
So you have Justin Jefferson, right?
So you have Justin Jefferson four years 140 million. I'm on Ross St. Brown four years 120 million
Jalen waddle three years 84.75 million
Nico Collins three years 72.75 million AJ Brown three years 92 million
Devonte Smith three years 75 million Michael Pittman three years 70 million Jerry Judy three years 52.5 million
And now you have DJ more right now all great deals, you know in their own, you know respect us, right?
But you still have four contracts that are lingering that out of those four contracts if we're being real here
Two of those might get close to resetting the market or they will reset the market, right?
I'm really care at this point, but
Basically what I have been well not know I've been seen but basically what happened was there was a video circuit
you know circulating on social media and
basically it was brand-new at practice and
You know, he walked up to John Lynch and you know, he was dapping up John Lynch
Everybody was smiling and then Kyle Shanahan dapped him up like in a really, you know, happy
You know, not happy pose, but like in a really happy
Move right so in your mind, you're thinking oh shoot a deal just got done
Someone's about to get paid or oh he got trade or something like that. No
No, I don't know. I literally waited. I literally waited an entire day
Just to see if anything crazy was gonna happen and nothing happened
But there were a lot of conflicting reports because you had some people speculating and basically saying, you know from their side that
You know a deal could be coming soon. You have some people saying a trade could be happening soon
You have people like Adam Schefter basically saying like there's you know, there's no deal imminent
You just have a whole bunch of better and better
And it's it's basically gotten to a point where nobody really knows I don't care if you have an insider
That's you know, that's been working with the 49ers for 20 plus years
You can't even really believe them at this point. You just can't you can't I don't know what's going on
I don't know what to say about it, but again, that's not my team. So I could really care less now
Let's get into my predictions and then spot racks predictions
For these next four receiver contracts, right? And this this will probably be a relatively short
Episode because I want to save the longer episodes for when the regular season starts
And I want to be able to go a little bit more in-depth
About certain things because there's gonna be more news to talk about there's gonna be more information coming out
There's gonna be more just things just overall just to
Discuss honestly speaking here now. Let's get into these predictions, right?
So for CD land me personally I predict a four-year
137.8 million dollar deal which would be 34.45 million dollars a year now
We look at spot racks market value, correct spot racks is four years
136.1, which would be 34 point
Not 34 point but 34 million a year, right?
So we sort of have the same idea honestly
I just boosted minds up just a little bit. They kept theirs at you know, just 34 flat, right now for CD
Lam situation CD Lam is a little bit
You know awkward because he is fighting for a deal
while
Dak is looking for a deal and Michael Parsons looking for a deal and
To add the sweet cherry on top
Michael is looking to reset the market as well as CD Lam is looking to reset the market. So you you're he's in a situation
Where he's where he's trying to figure out like you know, am I gonna get paid am I not gonna get paid because
Jerry's tone lately has somewhat been a little bit confused
But at the same time, I think he realizes that you know a major change
Needs to occur at this point because you know, they've basically been doing the same thing for the past
You know 10 or 15 years and hasn't gotten him anywhere, right?
You know, you continue to say this is our year. This is our year
This is our year gonna be better this year than the last year
We're gonna be better than this year than the last two years when it's like no you're just not you're going you are going to suck
You are not going anywhere the last time you were relevant. Guess what? I was only one years old. I think
Was I was I I don't know don't care about it
Moving forward, okay
That was the last time that everyone was like, whoa
Gotta be careful with the cowboys man. They're gonna give us problems this no, man
Ain't nobody worried about no dad on cowboys
Especially now you got to pay that 60 million
You got to reset the market for CDLM and you got to reset the market for Michael Parsons
Ain't nobody worried about no dad on cowboys
I'm gonna be the first to say it and we got to face the cowboys this year
So guess what when we beat the cowboys best believe I'm gonna do an entire episode
Dedicated to that one game you heard it here for you heard it here first. Yes. I am that petty your GM is that petty
I will literally call it
Cowboy the team that always loses
That's gonna be the title for that for that game and I cannot wait to make it
Who I might even make a compilation about it of all the things that happened during that game
Okay, that's what I might do now moving back to the conversation. Okay
Let's be real here Jerry's Jerry realizes that you know
Nine times out of ten. He's probably gonna fire Mike McCarthy, right?
Nine times out of ten. He's probably gonna let one of those three players go right because again, you cannot pay all
Three of them you just can't okay, but it also doesn't help that
Next year's draft class is not an offensive draft class, right as well as okay
Walk with me. Okay, the quarterback class is not good either. Well, I wouldn't say it's not good
Let me let me rephrase that before everyone starts. Oh, you're you're just gonna shoot down all of those college kids
No, let me let me explain. Okay, the quarterback class is not as strong as it has been
You know a few years prior, right? This this quarterback draft class sort of reminds me of that Kenny Pickett
Sam Howe Brock Purdy type of draft class. Okay, where it's like
It's not really the best. It's a lot of you know, second to third tier quarterbacks
These guys are really your franchise quarterbacks and guess what we got Kenny Pickett in the first round, but I'm not gonna do it
Not gonna do it. I was not going to do it, but just know I called it and I was right now
Back to the situation that came okay
So that's just my prediction for CD lane. Okay moving forward to brand IU brand IU it for me
My prediction is a four year 125 point six million dollar deal, which would be about 31.4 million
Spot racks market value for him is four years 104 point six million, which would be 26 point two million a year now
When we look at that number, right, especially spot racks number
Um, there was a report, you know, I think maybe like a few weeks one
I'm a few weeks. I think maybe like a month or two ago
I mean and I talked about it in previous episodes
Basically saying that the 49ers had had an offer on the table and it was 26 million a year and brand and I you did not want it and
You know brand IU it you know is trying to get that 30 plus million a year type of deal now
The thing that works in brand IU ex-favor is he's a really good route runner, right?
His route tree is very diverse. So that so that sort of sticks out, you know
For for his skillset and for him to get paid
However, the problem is he's in a situation where he's bumping elbows with Trent Williams because Trent Williams guess what?
He's in a holdout and guess what they'll probably prioritize Trent Williams over
Over brand now you look unfortunately
I'm just I'm just being honest here folks because whether we want to admit or not
It is easier to replace receiver than it is an elite left tackle. It is okay
There's not just it's not a bunch of you know elite left tackles just sitting home either eating Doritos playing Rainbow Six siege
Okay, it's just not it's just not okay. So I think it'll be it'll it's still gonna be a difficult, you know
Negotiation between Brandon I you and the 49er assembly because there's been a lot of confusion, right?
You have one minute. He doesn't want to be there, you know, doesn't want to be there and you know, he's letting it be
No, he's being on the table. Let me go trade me trade me trade me next thing, you know
Guess what? He wants to go to Washington wants to team up with his boy Jane and Daniels, okay?
next many you know, he's liking he's liking pictures of Mike Tomlin in his pose and then he's you know liking other things with
Steelers and whatnot that he got Steelers fans all up in a bunch and you know rooting for him and everything
So it's a bunch of back-and-forth a lot of confusion on his end and again not to mention guess what?
They have to pay Brock Purdy next year and that's not gonna be
Somewhat of a of an easy feat as well because guess what he's been a really good quarterback
I could make a strong case that he's probably been a better quarterback than Jimmy Garoppolo was when they got up
And I'm willing to die on that hill. I'm willing to die on that hill because
If they if Brock Purdy wins the Super Bowl, right?
And it doesn't necessarily he doesn't necessarily have to have this crazy season
I mean this crazy game in the Super Bowl, but if he wins just the Super Bowl
That is 60 plus million that you have to automatically dedicate to Brock Purdy
I don't care who you have to cut who you have to restructure
I don't care if you have to give everybody restructures and everybody makes only 2.6 million a year
Brock Purdy is gonna get his he is going to get his mark my words
You heard it here first on episode 20 the 20th episode catch a pass win a bag episode
Okay, that is the title. I love that title. It got a little ring to it moving forward
Okay, now which Marge chase the situation, right?
So for me personally, this is my this is my prediction for years
124.5 million which is 31.12 million a year
Okay, spot racks market value for him is three years 91.5 million which is 30.5 million a year now again
The bangles are in a situation like all these others where you know, they're trying to figure out who are they going to prioritize, right?
So they've already taken care of Joe Burrell cool, right?
but at the same time you have two of your best receivers who are also looking for money, right and
And you know Jamar Chase is the one he is the alpha in that receiving room
But the problem is T Higgins can also do the same thing as well. So it's like who do you prioritize first?
Because
Whether we want to admit it or not. Okay, they the bangles are in a situation where they cannot let both of them go
Because they know if they let the both if they let one or even both of them go that is it
Because guess what everybody has mainly feared the bangles because of the offense. It's never been the defense
It's only been the offense because you had you know that that tandem of Burrell
Jamar Chase T Higgins then Joe mixing at the time, but now that Joe makes has been traded
It's mainly Burrell Higgins and Chase, right? So it's a very, you know, rocky situation
And also doesn't help that, you know, the owner has sort of like
Said but not really said like, you know, we're not really, you know talking about contracts, you know
This this offseason. There's a time and a place for it blah blah blah
I talked about it in a previous episode and made a whole rant alert about it
But um, you know, do I do I think something might be able to get hashed out? There's a possibility
Do I think it's gonna be drawn out and I think it's probably gonna get ugly before it gets good? Yes
because I mean come on here the this is probably the best receivers that we have seen since AJ Green, right and
You you have to compensate them. You just have to there's not a bunch of Jamar chases and T Higgins
Just sitting around sitting on the hands of saying, oh pick me pick me. It's not that so they have to figure out exactly
What are they going to prioritize? Who are they going to pay first and how they're going to get a deal done now for a Tyree kills
situation I
Really couldn't come up with a number and there wasn't no market value for him
Because he's already making 30 million a year. So the question is how would how an extension look for him?
Because whether we want to admit or not
He is still a top five receiver in the league
He is still a dynamic receiver and he is still someone that is going to give teams problems. Okay, but the question is
How much how much money is he looking for like that?
That is that is the number one thing that sort of like irritates me as a fan
but also as a
podcaster because
Okay, you have all these players they're in holdouts, but it's like what is the number, right?
The insiders will talk about anything and everything else, but it's like what is the number?
What is the ballpark that the player wants and what is the ballpark that the organization is willing to do business with?
Right because you know for someone like a Tyreek Hill, how much money can you really give him?
Right, they just paid to a they just paid Jayla waddle now. They're getting ready to figure out what they're gonna
Be with you like, you know, if you're a dolphins fan
You have to be concerned because they're really trying to put a mortgage, you know on this offense and thinking that it's going to
Just win them a Super Bowl when it's like no
Defense wins championships that mantra will continue to stand and withstand the test of time
Defense will always win
Championships now moving on to the Matthew Stafford
Restructure details right because they finally were able to come out so we can finally, you know talk about them and whatnot, right?
So essentially it is a one-year 40 million dollar deal according to Tom Pellecero
Shout out to who Tom Pellecero. Thank you so much for the information. All right
Matthew Stafford gets a 12.5 million dollar signing bonus. He gets 23.5 million guaranteed this year
He gets four million guaranteed
For a March roster bonus and he has forfeited his 2025 guarantees
An important note with all of this as well as both sides will reassess
Once the season is over now when we look at this situation, this could be this could be one or two things, right?
They are they have come to terms that this could be possibly the last year that you know that they're going to you know
Work together and that Matthew Stafford may want to go to another team may want to retire or whatever the case may be right as
Well as you know, the Rams are continuing to move forward. They are still trying to
You know pass themselves up and continue to be competitive
while at the same time moving forward because yes, they've won the Super Bowl they won it recently
You know who's in highs for raise for raise, but at the same time
They they still need to continue to move forward, right?
And they've done that with you know, the picks that they made and you know
Moving off of people and people walking away from the game case in point and redondo then Andrew Whitworth and in company
So it's just right that you know that they basically make sure that he is
compensated and basically they move that money from next year to this year so that it doesn't really necessarily affect them if
He you know decides to retire or anything like that. So, you know
Just a little bit of housekeeping notes. Nothing really major to really discuss now. This is the last thing I'll talk about
Well, actually, you know what? No, it won't be lie
I
So before be before Tristan works got his deal my prediction for him was a four-year
$120 million deal, which would be 30 million a year
But clearly I was wrong so I apologize, but it was definitely close though, right now
We do have to talk about what happened last night with the Hall of Fame game now
for those of you who do not know the Hall of Fame game has definitely had a lot of
Infamy then notoriety, okay?
It has been a game where a lot of people have gotten like, you know
Seasons ending injuries because of how bad the the field was and you know, you see the legends and you see how the legends have like
You know, they've gotten so big and you know, they went from you know being this dude is like
Oh, he looks he he's alright. And that's the you know, this dude got a gut. Okay. He got a beer belly. Okay, um
But you know that the kickoff I think personally I just I
Don't know. I just I have to see more. I have to see more. I think that that's the that's the best way for me to look at it
I'm not gonna bash and say oh, this is the worst thing in the world
This is horrible the NFL needs to take it back to what it used to be. No and the reason why I say that is because they
Realize that the older well that the traditional kickoff has caused more major injuries
Than what they like to see right a lot of times when those kickoffs happen
People are getting knocked out. They are getting what have not moved
You're talking about very scary situations and you know the league probably as best as possible
And was the best way to do that with implementing a new kickoff and it shows now. I will say this
If you are a team that has someone that is super fast, there's a guarantee
He could probably score almost every single time if the blocking is correct and whatnot it
It's gonna get done. I guarantee you by the playoffs
one of those coaches are
Going to do something super crazy when it comes to the to the kickoff watch what I say
Watch what I'm gonna be surprised if it's either Andy Reed Kyle Shanahan
Sean McVeigh one of those guys or even Mike or
Or Mike McDaniels one of those one of those guys they're gonna do something crazy with this
I know they are because there's no way that you know if you got someone like I'm gonna say necessary like a Tyree kill
But if you have someone that can run at least a 4-2 or maybe like a 4-3. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah
They're they're taking that to the crib. They're taking that to the crib almost every single time, especially if that blocking is on point
Good Lord
Good God of mine, but you know the the game of force they didn't in because of inclement weather
but
You know, let's just wait and see what happens next week whether we have a actually a full
List of teams are playing because guess who is playing next week folks the six time
six time
Six time Pittsburgh Steelers. That's right. We play next Friday. Cannot wait
We have so much to talk about that might be an entire bonus episode for that
I am so hyped for now. I want to thank you guys so much for all of you guys support
Okay, I want to especially thank my parents for supporting me with this journey
Because if it wasn't for them, I definitely wouldn't have went went through with this because you know this this all
started because
I and I remember it very vividly. I
I think we were taking we were taking my mom out for
for her birthday and you know news news was circulating that
The the Panthers were trying to get the number one pick and you know
The Bears were shopping in and whatnot and then like literally as I was getting ready to eat
News broke that you know the trade had happened basically that you know
The Panthers now had the number one spot and whatnot and you know my parents and as well as my friends
I forgot about them as well. But you know my parents and my friends basically said like you know, why don't you start a podcast?
You know you this is something that you you definitely love talking about
And you know you cover it a lot, you know a lot of information about it
So why don't you do it? And you know for the longest time? I definitely put you know put it off
I was like nah, I just don't really want to do it and whatnot. I don't think I could do it
I don't think I could you know listen to myself talk and whatnot and I don't know how I'll be able to do it
but you know
For me to be able to get to the 20th episode and to I don't understand
There's probably some that you know to think oh, it's just a 20th episode
But this this means a lot to me because I didn't expect for me to make it to 20 episodes
I just did it, you know, and if you don't want to listen to this you can skip it all the way to the end and
That's perfectly fine
But I just feel like I have to do this and I have to
Recognize the people that definitely you know supporting me and have been supporting me
Throughout this entire process. So
This is an amazing feeling
To anybody out there that is you know looking to do something different looking to do something new looking to do something out of the box
Do it
Just do it and I must don't look at the support
Don't look at the people that's not liking your post
Don't look at the the people that that say that you're that they're your friends and whatnot and you know
They're not liking your stuff. Don't look at that stuff
Be laser focused on what you want to create be laser focused on what you want to put out be consistent with it and
Let your voice and let your you know creativity shine and because guess what there's gonna be somebody out there
That's gonna be attached to it. That's gonna love it. That's gonna be you know an avid follower of
Of whatever you do. Okay, if you would have told me that I have a consistent, you know following in Europe and Brussels
You know on the West Coast of America on the East Coast of America in the Midwest
I think a little bit in Canada shoot even in the Philippines. I would have called you a liar
But you know, it's happened. So I want to think every single person
From the bottom of my heart for this
This is you know, this is the first 20 episodes and you know, we're gonna keep going till we get to 40 and
60 80 to 100 and you know moving forward. So
