My first pipe down is... I'm going to go with this one first because it's what inspired me to want to do this segment, and also it's very similar to yours. This is to the Packers fans out there to pipe down about, Caleb Williams hasn't proven anything yet. I put something out there that was like, it must be a little weird for Packers fans to finally recognize, Hey, after 100 years, the bears, they finally got one. We've been blessed with our quarterback after quarterback after quarterback, and we got another. I'm not saying anything about Jordan love, but hey, you got this other one. And yes, every single reaction was like, It was one pass, man, because I did it off a quote tweet. Let's see some of the responses that I got that annoyed me. I will address them one by one. One was like, Ha ha, bro. They said the same thing about Trubisky and about field. There was a lot of that. Just wait. He'll learn his place soon.Oh, his place?I.

[00:00:57]

Learned his place.

[00:00:57]

What? There was a lot of weird packers. There's some codes in there.

[00:01:00]

Red flag.

[00:01:01]

Yes. Packers paternalism. And hey, news flash. He's not Mitchell Trubisky. It's not one throw. And I like Justin Fields. I always defended him. He's not Justin Fields. He's the best prospect that a lot of people, including myself, believe we've ever seen. All you got to do is see all those throws. He's incredibly talented. He's not going to be one of those guys. So get that out of your head.

[00:01:23]

Honestly, that dovetails very nicely into one of mine.

[00:01:27]

Wait, I got more tweets. I want to throw them up before others. Let's Let's see him in Mall. Let's see Mall. Let's see another one.

[00:01:32]

I don't want to shame anyone. I do.

[00:01:33]

I do. This was the point. Same tweet as the past 30 years. Okay, I got that, too. Then It's early days great. Just wait till he breaks a painted nail. I went and checked and made sure these were all packers fans. They were all packers fans. It's just like, you need to do better than that. Also, it annoys me all the people. There was a million of them that was just like, We don't care. We don't care at all, bro. It's like, by responding and saying you don't care, that's saying how much you care.

[00:02:03]

It's all on yourself.

[00:02:05]

If you didn't care, you wouldn't respond with exclamation points.

[00:02:09]

What is the implication there with the painted nail? Just so we're clear, is that we're making commentary on people's fashion choices?

[00:02:17]

I think that's it.

[00:02:18]

That he's not-How tough and strong you are.

[00:02:20]

He's not a tough guy.

[00:02:21]

You're on Twitter, dog. I'm exhausted about that.

[00:02:24]

Anybody. I have enjoyed him on Hard Knocks, Caleb Williams. Yeah. Been a little light A little light on substance this Hard Knock so far. Like, they haven't had the best access or something. But I do enjoy just getting the vibe of Caleb Williams, of what he's like as a teammate and leader.It's.

[00:02:42]

A nice little window.All.

[00:02:43]

Right, let's go to yours.

[00:02:44]

Well, It's perfect because everyone who gets so overhyped about the rookie quarterbacks, how they looked in the preseason, we see what? One drive, maybe two drives. And usually it's against maybe not even the first team team defense, and a lot of times they don't even have all of their first-team offensive linemen. It's just such a mismash of all of the things that you're not going to see in the regular season. And they make the expectations people do so high off of such a small sample size that a lot of times it sets up, I think, players in general for failure instead of success because you're basing it off of the preseason, which is basically an NFL placebo. If you think about last year, C. J. Stroud, he threw a pick on his second pass of the preseason. His completion percentage, I looked it up, was 55% at a 62 passer rating. Then he went on to have the best rookie season, offensive rookie of the year. Just for comparison, wasn't a rookie last year, but Kenny Picket, he completed 13 of 15 passes in the preseason. They won every single game. He had a perfect passer rating.

[00:03:54]

He was anointed. And then look what happened. Now he's in Philadelphia.

[00:03:58]

Colleen, but that It doesn't mean people shouldn't check out nick Shook and I's week two preseason recap, which is going to look through the mess and find out what actually matters.

[00:04:08]

Exactly. We don't get too high. We don't get too low.

[00:04:10]

In the depth chart stuff, that's what I learned the most. It's what NFL teams are watching, in terms of watching other teams, they look to see, okay, who's playing with the starters? For their week one opponent, who is getting the most snaps with Josh Allen. Buffalo's first week opponent is looking, okay, those are the receivers we need to prepare That type of stuff you can learn.

[00:04:31]

It's an evaluation for everybody in the preseason. They're not just looking at the quarterbacks. You have to fully contextualize and get your expectations from fully contextualized sources.

[00:04:44]

I think it's just such a tease. I'm just like, I just need to get to the season.

[00:04:48]

But it's like sometimes the expectations-You need to warm up, though.

[00:04:52]

You've been in summer mode.

[00:04:54]

I don't like a warm up. That's why I get hurt all the time.

[00:04:58]

Patrick, give me something else. You want to pipe down. Yeah, pipe down.

[00:05:02]

People who are taking poorly contextualized camp one-on-ones where somebody's literally covering half the field and then one player, and it's like Xavier worthy, and Patrick Mahomes is throwing them the ball. And we're looking at it from an offensive point of view, and it's like, Oh, wow, I'm excited about this. And then it's like, Oh, that poor defensive back is getting toasted.

[00:05:23]

There's no chance.

[00:05:25]

There's no chance when you see just how much field people are working with, especially in these seven-on-sevens and quarterbacks are out there. I sat there and watched Joe Burrow dice up the bangles defense. You would think these guys had no chance.

[00:05:38]

Except for at Raiders Camp. Yeah. That was the one camp where I was just like, Devante wasn't there that day. And it was like, They We weren't winning the one-on-ones and seven-on-sevens. I was like, Oh, this is a little different. But you're absolutely right. That especially one-on-ones, but even the seven-on-sevens, it's just a different sport. Everyone at Patriots camp is like, If you just watch seven-on-sevens, Drake May is by far Maybe not by far, but he's the best quarterback because he can just go sling it, but that's not football.

[00:06:06]

Yeah. I mean, guys, it's the preseason. I have a bunch of little ones, smaller ones. But honestly, the Cowboys, the fact that everyone is getting upset about them potentially blowing up the core after this season, I'm not sure that that is actually what is going to happen here. I just don't really see a world where Jerry Jones is going to just let Dak walk away after this season.

[00:06:35]

Much to do about nothing, Piper. That's good.

[00:06:36]

That's good. Ceedee Lamb, too. It just feels like the cowboys are the parents that take away your phone when you're in trouble, and then they just give it right back to you. At the end of all of this, they're probably both going to get exactly what they want because Jerry wants this team to succeed, and he knows that he has this talent here right now. I just don't he... I can't imagine him blowing this up right now with both of them here.
