Keys To Winning (Hour 2)

Now at number two of our radio program, that's right, it is the Zach Gelb show on CBS Sports. We're up at the top of the hour. Coach Dan Mullen will join us, formerly of Mississippi State and then also Florida.

He'll stop by the Zach Gelb show. You got two games tonight in college football that will generate some noise. A lot of people curious to see what Matt Rule is going to do year one at Nebraska going up against Minnesota and PJ Fleck has been a really solid coach now for a while. In college football and also later this evening you do have Florida up against Utah. A game that did go Florida's way last year and that was a big game for Anthony Richardson and unfortunately looks like no cam rising tonight for the Utes as you did have cam rising up against the Hickey's, Penn State Nittany Lions and that Rose Bowl unfortunately suffer the torn ACL and this is a big year for Billy Napier in the swamp so we'll see how this does go down between Utah and Florida. This game over at Utah's campus so looking forward for this one this evening and you do have Graham Mertz make it his debut for Florida after all those years at Wisconsin and some people are optimistic on Graham Mertz and I understand why there's been pushback to that but I will say a year ago who would have thought heading into this year that Bo Nix would have done what he did at Oregon. After what we saw at Auburn other than that first start there was a lot of disappointing moments for Bo Nix where you thought there could be more and then you look at Michael Pennix Jr. outside of that run really up against Penn State it was marred unfortunately with injuries he goes to Washington you don't expect anything and Michael Pennix Jr. made a heck of a case for a Heisman Trophy last year and is one of the better quarterbacks in the nation so looking forward to chop it up with Dan Mullen coming up at the top of the hour and then in the final segment of the show at 9 40 p.m eastern 6 40 p.m pacific we will preview the Seattle Seahawks a former Seahawks linebacker now a part of their radio broadcast in Dave Wyman but NFL season right around the corner we'll do some more college football throughout the show let's get a little NFL music going because we're going to do an offensive rookie of the year draft and I'm going to go here with the first pick and I'm going to start what I think is a trend for this year with the offensive rookie of the year my first selection will be a team that I have winning the NFC south I know people in WFNZ are probably already slamming their text line to mac and bone what's this idiot gulp saying what is he doing picking the falcons to win the NFC south well big reason is I think Bijan Robinson is going to win offensive rookie of the year so I will take Bijan Robinson with my first selection hickey what do you got I'll take the best quarterback from last year's draft number one overall pick Bryce Young he'll win the award look at that now you're trying to kill him with kindness on WFNZ where they were going after you for saying the Bucks were going to win the NFC south and then all of a sudden you try to sweeten up the uh the feelings of the of the folks that listen to us on WFNZ by taking their quarterback in Bryce Young who you wish was your quarterback always been a Bryce guy always been a Bryce guy size is the most overblown thing I've ever heard when it comes to someone coming out of college so that's fine and I think Bryce Young should be a really good quarterback I just don't expect that situation in Carolina to be good this year well I'm not going to say they're going to be horrible and you don't need to have a great team to an offensive rookie of the year a lot of these awards you have to have a great team you have to be in the playoffs to win the award I don't think that has to be the case with the offensive rookie of the year but when I like for example the Jets last year at seven Wednesday offensive rookie of the year and defensive rookie of the year but when it comes to Bryce Young that offensive line isn't as good as I thought it was and then the receiving weapons leave a lot to be desired and Miles Sanders I know we've been talking about a lot of teams that are underrated I think Miles Sanders is an overrated running back now you do have a coach in Frank Reich that knows how to coach a young quarterback that is for sure but let's see what Frank Reich does now with another opportunity as a head coach because last year was a disaster in Indianapolis last two years really a disaster in Indianapolis and those teams were just never prepared where he did not win a first half at all last year for the Indianapolis Colts alrighty my next pick here kind of teased what I was going to do I said running back is going to be a trend if it's not Bijan Robinson I will go with Jamir Gibbs that Lions team can be a playoff team this year I'm still curious how good Jared Goff can be no Jamison Williams the first six weeks I know you have Amara St. Brown who is a phenomenal football player but I think they're going to utilize Jamir Gibbs a lot to try to justify that 12th overall pick on him so I will go Jamir Gibbs as my next choice for offensive rookie of the year you keep your trend I will also keep mine of picking a quarterback I'm going to go with my guy Anthony Richardson running passing especially which I hope is not the case but at least early on without Jonathan Taylor if there's any sort of success it's going to be on him which only I think get him a little or garner a few extra votes his way I'll go the dual threat capabilities of AR where's your confidence with that offensive line because last year that was like the highest paid offensive line in football and they were just brutal where is the confidence of the offensive line heading into this year cautiously optimistic I still want to see more I'm not sure they're gonna have a huge bounce back year but so far there are steps that say I would be surprised if it's as bad as it was last year I can't get any worse so um I think they will have a bounce back season now it will be a top five offensive line no um but even getting to top 15 level is exponentially better than what it was last year that offense on paper stinks lines a question mark like I like Michael Pittman but I don't know if he's he has not shown me yet that he's a number one wide receiver Jonathan Taylor not there the running back position is a mess the reason why you could be right here is because the offense is all going to be Anthony Richardson it's either him throwing the football him running the football and if he's going to win this award I think it means that the Jonathan Taylor situation even gets messier which it probably will be and I saw the Justine Anderson report today that both the Dolphins and Packers are both willing to give running back Jonathan Taylor a contract that placed them among the highest paid running backs in the NFL entering the season but you had the other report from uh from yesterday from Mike Chappell that they don't think that this is going to get smoothed over anytime soon that's still a major question mark to me where I agree with you it doesn't benefit Jonathan Taylor to sit out more games but it's clear that yes he had a legit ankle injury but now him still being on the pup list and missing the first four games of the year is because the contract did not get worked out and did not get taken care of and I just don't know when Jonathan Taylor's going to come back for so for the sake of your argument even though I don't like this Colts team and I think the roster is horrendous Richardson's going to have to do everything and even when you get Jonathan Taylor back how many weeks is going to take for him to knock off some of the rust with games that he missed last year and really not being available at all at any point this uh this off season all righty my next pick I don't think this guy is the best wide receiver that was drafted this year but environment matters and it's not just because he he's sang a Kodak Black song the other night at the team dinner but Lamar Jackson keeps on talking so positively about Zay Flowers and you look at that receiving unit for the Baltimore Ravens there's question marks Rashad Bateman question mark Odell Beckham now question mark Zay Flowers has speed speed kills in that offense I think he's going to be a tremendous player for them this season and Lamar you could tell has already been won over by Zay Flowers I will go with Zay Flowers at a Boston College as my next pick for offensive rookie of the year I was hoping you go go with another receiver so I could take Zay here so you like the Zay Flowers pick I do I do it's a receiver and that's unproven which you would agree I don't think Zay Flowers was your number one wide receiver in this draft class no but it's all about situation like I said exactly I mean Jackson's with the jigba is a guy that's really good so you're gonna you know get a lot of targets in Seattle we'll see we'll see that's not where I'm going though I'm going Jalen Hyatt because I like that wider civil room in New York is unproven and wide open you get that deep threat built with Daniel Jones you now built some chemistry that's the guy that absolutely could demand a lot of targets going forward he's now wearing Odell Beckham's number 13 so maybe the confidence is there the swag is there I'll go Jalen Hyatt now I don't really know how that number process works do you think the Giants encouraged him to wear 13 I was talking to our buddy Marash who's now a big radio superstar down the hall at WFAN and Marash was kind of saying maybe this is the Giants wanting him to wear 13 so they could try to erase the Odell Beckham tenure which started off really strong but then it was so ugly at the end I don't think that like frankly I like the Giants care I think it's a player thing I agree with you like the team does not because it does also sure Jalen Hyatt plays well now maybe in like maybe in like four years you'll think of him first at 13 not Odell Beckham junior but that's him playing at an all pro level playing great for four years I think you only bring attention to it now because of the still recency of him wearing that number and if you look at the individual stats even if you are optimistic on Jalen Hyatt he's going to come nowhere close to touching the first three years of what Odell Beckham did like the way that we talk about Justin Jefferson now was the way that we talked about Odell Beckham through those first three years what he was able to do with the Giants and if you want to succeed like I know look everyone has pressure on him but you're only if you if the Giants are pushing it hey basically we want you to be OBJ 2.0 look the kids already got a hard job as it is you're just adding a pressure like I said you're adding expectations that are unrealistic do we ever get an answer on why josh jacobs changed his number from 28 to eight Alabama number but why change it after wearing 28 when you were you were in the NFL for last three four years that was one that I just didn't get maybe it's like a fresh new start he's kind of thinking at after what was a a tumultuous off season I think last year was the first year you can change without getting fined or having to pay whatever the jersey number so I maybe just I don't know was someone was sitem number eight he might have been I gotta look at the roster last year oh eight was taken last year I I don't think jared stood him even if he was eight was going to be the reason why josh jacobs wouldn't get uh get his way you're josh jacobs you want to pay you know I don't know pay for someone's dinner to get a number I found 28 I know he didn't get a new contract but I I think he could afford a jared sitem dinner that guy probably is like you he has bland uh food tastes I would imagine jared's no way yeah I'm sure I would imagine I eat fine dining too no you don't I eat well so that's a lie you have pasta every night that's because I eat here I can't eat with my hands I can't get this place dirty well what's the last fine dining place that hickey went to I went to I gotta think I don't know well like if I had the opportunity where I was not working nights and I was at home making dinner every night I would have I do have nice taste I just would be more creative with the meals it's more about efficiency here than trying to just eat well you eat like a toddler that's all trying to eat healthy pasta every night ain't healthy suspension yeah yeah pasta chicken nugget guy peanut butter and jelly sandwich guy those are the three hickey food groups oh in the morning don't forget that's healthy oh in the morning yeah you you eat the same thing I do it's simple I'm gonna map out Monday through Sunday what hot take hickey is devoured alrighty my next pick this team has a lot of weapons and they have a crowded tight end room but I will go to Buffalo where they will have a lot of big offensive numbers this year I will take Dalton Kincaid who was my favorite tight end in this draft class out of Utah got to stay healthy though this is a value picking number four I don't believe it but I'll just take it just for the chance of it I'll sweep the quarterback I'll go CJ Strout here again I don't think he's having a big year I think for me out of the three rookie quarterbacks he's gonna have the worst year but if I'm wrong if I'm dead wrong and he balls out I got him I'm not taking a quarterback because I don't think either of these three quarterbacks are going to win rookie of the year uh I will go wide receiver here now this is for me between Quinn and Johnston and Jackson Smith and Jigba both crowded wide receiving rooms where you have Mike Williams Keenan Allen you got DK Metcalf and you also got Tyler Lockett I know well you look at the quarterbacks here Herbert's a better quarterback than Geno Smith and then also Keenan Allen and Mike Williams miss a lot of games so I think Jackson Smith and Jigba is the best wide receiver out of all the rookies but just has that wrist surgery he's now back at practice we'll see when he's gonna be able to get on the field for a game I'll go Quinn Johnston here who I don't think is a better wide receiver than Jackson Smith and Jigba but it's not by leaps and bounds but it's more so the environment Herbert a great quarterback and those two wide receivers in front of him they do miss a decent amount of games this so I actually I would love I want to get spicy I'll be honest I'll give you a pick that I'm not gonna make I'll do the old Danny Age I would love to pick this guy but I'm not gonna do it who are you the Packers I would have loved to pick Adrian O'Connell here as to buy into the preseason hype Jimmy G's not gonna stay healthy he comes in like week four lights it up kind of Brock Purdy style I'm not gonna do that though can I try to guess who you're picking sure I don't I do I can give you five guesses I don't think you're gonna do it I'll even tell you the position okay what's the position wide receiver so then it's not JSN that's not Jackson Smith and Jigba too crowded it's not Jordan Addison same thing too crowded too many targets oh is it the the Kansas City receiver Rice Rashee Rice it is not Rashee I'm banking on a big Skymore breakout year here Jonathan Mingo it is not Jonathan Mingo Cedric Tillman not Cedric Tillman I think I'm out of guesses here AFC or NFC AFC AFC rookie receiver draft team drafted very good college career pretty good college career I would say I think one year's not his fault and you already and you already took Jalen Hyatt off the board a team I believe in this year that is getting ripped up by the injury bug Marvin Mims Jr out of Oklahoma you have every right now Denver receiver getting hurt Tim Patrick unfortunately is out again like the the wider series are dropping like flies so you know what Marvin Mims Jr is a damn good receiver at Oklahoma now all of a sudden he's going to be thrusted into the starting lineup or thrusted onto the field way more than he should have been because just for the the sheer body count that they're losing right now that's the guy I'm going to take a fly around with the fifth pick in this rookie offensive rookie of the year draft and that he has a big year and connects really fast to Russell Wilson so he was a second round pick he's good he's a good receiver but pause I'm looking at the odds right here on DraftKings and they list one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventy eighteen nineteen twenty players and on it that's fine I'm just saying I better value just not on it maybe you should put a few shekels down I think I might so here are the rookie of the year offensive rookie of the year picks in the draft I go Bijan Robinson, Jamir Gibbs, Zay Flowers, Dalton K K, Quinnen Johnson Hickey goes with Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, Jalen Hyatt, CJ Stroud and is the only person in radio in the history of radio because it's a one-year-old thing that will ever take Marvin Mims Jr. as offensive rookie of the year that's why you listen folks so I deem Hickey could be stupid at times in terms of his opinions but I think he watches the most college football out of anybody here at the network and he's the most knowledgeable when it comes to college football I'm going to be fascinated to see how we're talking about Marvin Mims Jr. at the end of the year because this is like a legacy moment for you this is this is a legacy career defining moment for you where if he ends up going on to have an insane rookie year not even win the award just be in the conversation we may have to retire the Hickey Hacks we may have to retire the hot take Hickey nickname because even though it would be a blind squirrel finding a nut once in a while this would be a pretty impressive and pretty impressive size acorn that uh that you did find there Hickey if that if that is ends up being a guy that's top five in the award three catches for 59 yards in the preseason get in early folks 19.7 yards per attempt that means get in early 20 yards per catch he's gonna light it up you know this works be heard in three weeks he'll stop in the water in denver these receivers can't sit healthy oh he'll be on the field stub his toe but that's gonna happen and the next thing you know he'll be out for like six weeks zach gilb shows cbs sports radio will come on back the biggest key for 10 teams this upcoming year in the nfl you're listening to the zach gilb show it is the zach gilb show on cbs sports radio hickey that rejoin cracks me up it's a guy calling in saying yeah i don't really get to listen that much but whenever i get to listen you know i appreciate what you're doing and i like the show yeah i guess it's a nice compliment but we want you to listen more obviously i get it okay i was thinking more like hey you know he's busy with life you know i don't you know we're on most nights or afternoons people are busy so i figured okay it's nice that at least when he listens in here and there he likes what he hears it's good for you okay we can i think we trashed that one okay i think we throw that in in the trash can the the we've thrown in the dumpster i'm not a fan of that that read well hopefully you don't change your mind it's already been deleted i already deleted it that quickly you say it happened what am i gonna wait for you could so let's just say if some idiot rounds here because tell i can guarantee this we work with enough of them just goes into the system and by mistakenly delete something that's it it's gone there's no like trash can for backup or anything there's a trash can you can find it but on this main computer i'm sure there's a lot of trash in there and depending how it's labeled you could find it fast or slow you know jack stern's gonna sabotage this show one day gotta go in and just delete all the files well most are backed up someone deleted all my well i don't say someone there was an issue with my show is that right a month ago where everything was deleted now doug or audio engineer wizard uh has everything for the most part saved as a backup so able to get it no problem now did you have a lot of files in there no nothing crazy i don't use a lot of imaging or you know don't have a ton built up yet since the show's you know only once a week um but it was i mean enough stuff to where show you know show was gonna sound different your key card was still working the next day you know still where i'm still here it was a month ago no one has said boo since do you think that's someone intentionally trying to to bring you down there or do you think that was by mistake because i know that you're also uh in the mix here right you interviewed for that uh da producing job replacing sean mirage and i wonder if maybe some other people are trying to get in get in your head a little bit to try to throw you off for the interview uh kind of like when teams on the road they they stay at a hotel and someone pulls the fire alarm at about four in the morning and disrupts the sleep pattern do you think someone's trying to sabotage hot take kicky i don't think so i mean it's i guess a a devilish way to go about it where i wouldn't expect it where it's one of those where you could have blamed audio failures or just a computer failure interesting though tactic i kind of like it actually if that i mean didn't work so sorry but i don't know carlos with k i gotta you know there's a lot of sabotage allegedly going on here so i gotta maybe me and maggie gray are on the case pat boil possibly you know carlos just shook my hand before we're changing shifts so hopefully wasn't someone who would shake my hand and stab me in the back i don't want to tell you there's a knife in your back right jeez what's the maggie gray sabotage line that you just someone's writing on her whiteboard go jets she's a big bills fan what's the whiteboard uh something about the bills uh oh that oh i see the bills yeah you're right but someone wrote on her board go jets knowing that she'd hate that as a big bills fan so i'm saying someone's sabotaging her trying to get in her head maybe that same person all of a sudden is now going in folders and deleting audio so maybe we have one saboteur trying to take down the entire cbs sports radio family so that's what i had no clue what she was saying in the newsroom when she said i'm watching you guys and i'm like what are you watching us for and she goes someone's messing with my board i just had no clue what it meant and someone's trying to get in her head so someone someone wrote what go jets on the board go jets and wide right i guess for the uh for the bills super bowl miss can i give you a long shot for that one sure the long shot would be con degree jet fan no nice guy too nice nicest guy ever but a very underratedly funny guy and i think he could he could pull a good prank he's the guy that you don't expect it that long shot i'll give you my my realistic culprit here let's think who's on before them it's not me it's not you but uh jr is in atlanta maybe amy but i don't think amy's gonna go to that level and i don't think amy is a jet fan i don't know i don't even know amy's a bronco fan right i think so i think you're right so i would say that it's down to to two people here rome's in la can't be him writer in la can't be him my two people that i would guess here andrew bogus i don't think it's the a but i could definitely see bogs that boards usually right where his seat is so maybe he got annoyed with the placement of the board so it could be bogus and then also this guy's not a jet fan but he likes to play some pranks he likes to stir the pot up a little bit could be act it could be rich ackerman i don't think so i could see act playing a little prank like that he's not the controversial type not the confrontational type but uh bogus is a good one it's definitely bogus i don't know if he's a jets fan i guess that doesn't really matter because you're not you know you're more doing it to needle maggie than you are let's say like root for your team that's why i don't think connor would do it i think he's too nice and i can see bogs doing it in in good fun pretty much driving under the influence by the way marijuana is illegal law enforcement officers can tell if you're driving high if you feel different you drive different drive high get a dui paid for by nitsa ack was that you are you drawn on the on maggie gray's whiteboard no you sure what i just gave you a resounding positive yeah i'm just doing my interrogation you better start telling me the truth and that finger's going off the uh there's no bright light in my face i you know this is not a tough entire i don't know ack you're looking a little suspect there ack's getting a little red uh if i didn't you'd know look at how i terrorize hickey every day well that's why i'm saying that's why i thought you were a culprit no so if i had to give you my power ranking sir and who's messing with maggie ray's whiteboard i'll give you another i'll give you another surprise name but here it is i'll give you my my uh i'll go top four names here i won't even give you a fifth one number one without a doubt bogeish two connor green three could be pearloff sabotaging his own show i think connor has been off this week oh okay do we need facts here i'm just saying why do we have to go to the old school of journalism you know let's just stream things on the radio and accuse people of things if he's in town he could just kind of slip in and you know and then four will be ack i don't know ack looks too red that devilish laugh that he has i don't know all right hickey uh give me the teams here and i'll tell you what their biggest key is for this upcoming season go ahead the dellis cowboys quarterback defense last year championship caliber really the last two seasons they keep on getting better and better they need their quarterback to step up in the big game which he did not do up against the 49ers last two post seasons the new york giants kavon tibbido i think the giants on paper have a good offense so they can stay healthy defensively they got to get more pressure on the quarterback uh dexta lawrence one of the better defense alignment in the league i like bobbie o'carriquet that's siding this off season but now it's time for kavon tibbido to be one of the better players um you know from that draft class where he was thought out to be he needs to have a breakout season in year two the minnesota vikings defense defense defense last year the 31st ranked defensive unit in football they just got to get to like 20th or 19th right now and that could be a team that their offense will easily win enough games the defense just has to be serviceable the miami dolphins to a tongue of i loa's health that team is so talented they're awesome a jaylen model you also have tyree kill uh that team has some serious potential i know you could also say the offensive line but i got to see to a tongue of i loa make it healthy throughout the entire season the detroit lions jared golf golf had a good season last year that's a team that they are well constructed i like some of the draft picks they made especially in the trenches adan hutchinson penne sule as well you have a good receiver to mara st brown jamir gibbs was a controversial pick but how the good rookie season i need jared golf to finish the job here and be a very good quarterback in back-to-back years too many times you see him vacillate between good and good and you need to be very good this year the san francisco 49ers you would agree hickey most people would say quarterback correct when you look at the san francisco 49ers yeah for me it's kyle shanahan because kyle shanahan is fully responsible for all this weird uneasy whatever word he wants to use quarterback situation in san francisco kyle's telling you it's his system it really doesn't matter who the quarterback is they'll still find the way to win i'm putting all the responsibility on on the quarterback on kyle shanahan because he's the reason why trey lance is no longer there the new york jets offensive line offensive line offensive line the jets are loaded the only thing that could hold them back this year is their offensive line the buffalo bills von miller last year that team started to go in the wrong direction when von miller got hurt when he was healthy off the edge got to mahomes mahomes throws the pick they beat kansas city i know he's not going to be there for the first four games of the year you need von miller for the end of the season to be that player that gets them to a championship uh you know type of moment and we've seen him before into super balls played great with the rams and we all remember the super bowl mvp won with the denver broncos los angeles chargers brandon staley you look at the chargers defensively they were hurt last year but they have enough talent offensively herbert eckler williams allen you have uh quitting johnston as well rashaun slater on the offensive line zion johnson on the offensive line that coach just can't mess it up he can but he can't mess it up this year the baltimore ravens the health of lamar jackson when lamar jackson is healthy he's one of the more electrifying players in the league and they're going to rely on lamar now more especially throwing the football you've had a bunch of injuries the last two years but i need to see just like the dolphins with tootung of eloah stay healthy i need to see lamar jackson stay healthy as well it is the zack gilb show on cbs sports radio we'll come on back we'll teach you some of the biggest stories in the world of sports with some audio we call that segment the news brief coach dan mullen is going to join us at the top of the hour at 8 p.m eastern 5 p.m pacific but now standing to my left is a man that we are investigating standing oh you're sitting you are you're not wrong this investigation you know we try to sound like we're a radio show here emeril anchorman professional standing by with the latest cbs sports radio update is a man that could be messing with maggie gray's white board he's that's a real creepy laugh you're gonna be getting investigated act we're gonna have spike eskin uh come on in and be be interrogating you hey my fingerprints are clean did you wipe them off you know that's a an erase board it doesn't get rid of your fingerprints though erase them yeah i i'm i'm we have to have a camera in here somewhere right yeah we have cameras all over the place oh yeah that's true they record us all the time i'm looking for like an old school security camera somewhere i got one two three four five six seven cameras that are always rolling and i'm sure cap has one like hiding somewhere else so i'll have to go investigate who's doing this um i'll place a phone call to cap i'll get right down to business here and figure out who's messing with maggie gray's whiteboard because we can't have that here at cbs sports absolutely not you will fail so what everybody does but your gym your watch your yoga pants they pretend you won't so when you miss a day eat the pancakes give up on a workout you failed seriously what the hell we're body we've been a part of that too but not anymore at body we're rejecting perfection and embracing reality not in a pizza monday kind of way in a loving your whole life kind of way in a this workout is fun and it's okay if i take a week off kind of way in an i'm eating healthy i'm eating healthy and it's okay if i indulge kind of way in a i like myself no matter what kind of way yeah you will fail we all will but we're not gonna let that be the end you see that we're already making progress so let's keep going we are body start your free trial at body.com that's b-o-d-i.com you're listening to the zach geld show time for your daily news brief we get you caught up on the rumors reports and reconnaissance from the day in sports so let's hear from kyle shanahan kyle shanahan has asked if the quarterback shuffling is coming to an end the era of change in is you know when we got here we we waited 10 weeks made a trade for a quarterback played five games and then we made him the highest paid quarterback of all time at the time um then he played two of the next five years and did really good in those two years it's his injuries for three of those five years were legit it was rough on him rough on us um and then we made a move to go to a younger quarterback and that's what we did we thought he'd be ready in two years and he wasn't and now we have a different younger quarterback so that's the situation so the answer is then no it's it's not coming to an end you got to see what that younger quarterback does in brock purdy who had a really successful eight games let's call it as a starting quarterback last year seven however you want to chalk it up and now it's okay we saw we were at jimmy then we saw where you thought we were going to be with trey and i think it's kind of see what you got with brock purdy that you could be confident with brock purdy but it doesn't mean that the shuffling here is going to end tiki because the brock purdy shows you why he was a seventh round pick and mr irrelevant this year and not the quarterback that he was last year then there'll be a new quarterback in san francisco next season absolutely if the injuries happen to stack up again and sam darnold plays well and basically mimics what brock purdy did last year this year then we'll have another quarterback next year it's not the worst idea play the guy that's playing the best kirk cousins uh you want to put an end to the quarterback carousel i guess that would do it mr durability be good until then you want to move off of him because you can't win a super bowl and then it's back to square one again well that team could win a super bowl with kirk cousins i would agree but just more just playing into the carousel just continuing to spin so i'm going to ask you a question off of this one i'll play the clip first kyle shanahan has asked if he agrees that the 49ers qb situation has been weird in past years based off what jimmy garoppolo said the other day yeah i think anytime you trade up and to the third pick in the draft and it doesn't work out that's the weird situation but that is the situation so that's what happened i don't think it's that weird it's unusual that doesn't work out but i wouldn't think that's weird i think that's unusual so he says it's weird in the beginning and then he says it's unusual is there really a difference between weird or unusual hickey i mean technically do i gotta get the you know the dictionary out technically probably but real realistically no is he the most arrogant coach in football now kyle shanahan head coaches for a while people thought like that was bill belicheck but is now kyle shanahan taking that that tag is the most arrogant coach in in the nfl only head coaches him and bill are right there i mean bill and at least patricia at oc last year and at least bills won six super balls no i mean bills earned the arrogance looking wrong i mean kyle shan with his offensive mind i would say is i mean not rings wise but offensive brilliance wise has earned the arrogance as well i would still say bill is more arrogant not that i don't think it's a bad thing either by the way but we've got some patricia defensive coordinators you're oc and thinking that's going to work that i think is a no one's going to cross that bridge it's shanahan almost makes me want to root against the 49ers this year hmm really yeah i don't know like i feel like there's always a stretch in the season for four or five weeks where i can't stand the guy and then he wins me back over maybe it's just because we're in that phase right now before it starts and it came earlier than than what you look at with him but there's always like a three to to five week stretch where i just can't stand the guy because he's one of those guys it's my system it's my system it's my system it's my sis i don't this is probably not a fair comparison but have you watched winning time on hbo not season two but season one okay so paul weston all he does now is talk about the system it's system system get to your spot get to your spot get to your spot he doesn't tell you the quarterback doesn't matter it's all about my system we'll find the way to to get the job done you've been right here is mike mccarthy he gives his early impressions of trey lance very hard working you know he's you know we have a quarterback meeting room there he's pretty much just kind of taking that over you know the boards in there the green sports look like beautiful mind i mean so he's he's really he's dove dove into it i don't know why hickey every time mike mccarthy speaks he just mumbles we're like you could understand what he's saying but i get so caught up in him mumbling i just don't even know what he ends up saying because i'm just focused on the on the mumbling and all the stumbling that goes on when mike mccarthy speaks i mean look i know it's someone who's been in the building for like what five days and what are you gonna say right but he just sound just from the sound forget what he said the actual words just the tone of his voice he did not like he could give a you know what he did not care well because he knows it's a distraction right and again it's more of a negative than a positive but right why is he playing the answer again because i got to now focus on what he actually said very hard working you know you know he's you know we have a quarterback meeting room there he's pretty much just kind of taking that over you know um the boards in there the green sports look like beautiful mind i mean so he's he's really he's dove dove into it he's already taken over the quarterback room and the board in the quarterback room and that makes sense in the sense he's trying to learn the playbook is that is that a skip Bayless take coming up on uh well i think skips a skip a fan of Dak Prescott to i'd be honest i don't know i don't care i don't think i go out of my way to not see anything from that show i don't think he is but this could probably be a skip Bayless take on tuesday actually because i think everyone's off on monday for labor day where he'll say this is why Dak Prescott isn't the guy look Trey Lance already marking his territory in that QB room coming up on FS1 like a dog what do you think what do you think Richard Sherman what do you think Rachel Nichols what do you think Justina Anderson anyone else they have Michael Arvin what do you think they add someone new to that show every day they're not gonna have enough seats at the desk small desk let's go to Jamar Chase on how he thought Joe Burrow looked after returning to practice with the calf injury i didn't see no hobble or nothing you know i didn't see really much but from what i've seen you know he looks good he doesn't look like he's having problems walking or nothing so that's a good sign that is a good sign remember Jamar Chase was the guy that led this whole push that Joe Burrow shouldn't play for the first few weeks of the season oh he's gonna be fine no doubt about it Joe Theismann who we love is riding the Zach Gelb train that the Seahawks could contend for the NFC west crown this year Pat McAfee show don't sleep once you like you like Pete you like Pete Carroll i like i like what Pete's done Pete has reloaded and Gino is recharged you know people don't realize Gino Smith had the the best completion percentage in football a year ago 70 and and i i think they got actually they got better i agree they got better now with that being said i think the Niners will win the NFC west but the Seahawks will be closer than what you think and i really do believe even they won't be the three seed because the Niners will win the division that the Seahawks are going to be the third best team in the NFC this upcoming year Kevin O'Connell is very excited to have TJ Hockinson around for the long haul thrilled to know we've got TJ here as a major part of our core on offense we've been able to build on TJ's role here really have a great process throughout the off season of you know really what it's going to look like with within our offensive system for a major player like TJ to be a part of it and just knowing our young core that we do have our quarterback where he's at coming out of training camp i'm very excited about our offensive side hey you should be excited about the offensive side i think TJ Hockinson's a good player not a great player i don't think he deserves record-breaking money but if you're good not great and you're up for a new contract you have that argument to make that you should reset the market i i get that um and how many times you see what quarterbacks good quarterbacks not great quarterbacks ends up resetting the market it comes down to that defense and can they just be a 19th or 20th defense in the league and i think the Vikings here to win a good amount of games this year and they'll be NFC north champions and then they'll disappoint in the playoffs kevin's the fan ski on why the players voted to sean watson as a captain that's very very natural for him to lead and i think he's comfortable leading from out in front i think he's comfortable from leading uh and letting his teammates get credit and that's just something that he's always done his whole life and just the way he's integrated himself into this football team uh is is impressive to watch uh for from the course of the moment he got here till now uh just seeing how he's gotten to know everybody on his team how he pushes them how he motivates them i think you're seeing a lot of uh examples of high quality leadership from deshawn in particular so it's a player's vote now if it was up to the coach if it was up to like the general manager they would have given him the captaincy anyway because kevin sephanski knows he needs to have a good relationship with deshawn watson this year it is just wild to me and i know talent wins out in this league with what deshawn watson was accused of off the field and then he got the contract that he did and then after five six games the next year he's a team captain i don't love that message but what am i going to do sit here and fight it we know deshawn watson is the man for the foreseeable future with the cleveland browns because of what the contract states with the fully guaranteed deal and finally deion sanders's players aren't backing down from anyone this year they came here because they wanted the light they wanted the smoke they wanted the attention they wanted the focus they wanted the love i mean but also you got to understand there's an opposite of that as well that you got to be willing to accept when you want all and desire those things these kids are ready so i like what i see on a daily basis i really do there's no high expectations for colorado this year but they'll be the most scrutinized team in college football or one of them because every week it's going to be what is deon sanders going to do what is deon sanders going to do and i think if this team wins four or five games this year it's a massive improvement but you know deon is one of the great entertainers great promoters of all time so he's always going to hype up his team he told us he's going to win and he can't wait to kind of clap back at the people that are counting them out right now but that's going to be a team that we're going to be talking about each and every week regardless of their record coach dan mullen joins us next
