The Junkies reaccionan a que el padre de Chase Young llame a Grant: JP lo llama

After Valdez dijo "no importa lo amable o respetuoso que pareciera, el hecho de que lo haya hecho es embarazoso en sí mismo", JP Flaim calificó el segmento de 'muy poco profesional' por parte de Greg Young.

After Valdez dijo "no importa lo amable o respetuoso que pareciera, el hecho de que lo haya hecho es embarazoso en sí mismo", JP Flaim calificó el segmento de 'muy poco profesional' por parte de Greg Young.

An interesting topic as the Junkies Hit the Skins on Wednesday – we actually heard, in perhaps a radio first, from a player’s father when Chase Young’s dad, Greg, called 106.7 The Fan Tuesday afternoon to debate Grant Paulsen about Chase’s play and numbers?

Indeed, if you missed it, the clip is above, and the Junks just couldn’t help but play some of the interview…and had issue with some of the stuff Greg Young said, including his comparison of Chase to Deion Sanders in terms of ‘cutting the field in half.’

“Look, Chase Young is an impactful player, but to compare him to Deion Sanders at this point in his career, I think is, let's just say it's a bit of a stretch,” Cakes said. “It’s a stretch to say that other teams are just saying all that part of the field is off limits because Chase Young is over there.”

“Well, he's certainly a disruptor,” EB replied, “but we just expected more, and there are players in the league that are way more disruptive. Micah Parsons comes to mind – you notice him on every play, and I promise you they're not super excited to run his way, and yet he finds a way to get through double teams and is involved in every defensive snap.”

To be fair, JP pointed out that Young has just one less sack than Parsons this year, which led into Greg Young’s thoughts that sometimes, the disruption is just as good as a sack.

“When you watch a game who jumps out at you more Micah Parsons or Chase Young?” EB asked. “Who is all over the field?”

“Here’s what I know about those two players: one of them is going to be in Canton in about 15 to 16 years and one of them is not,” Cakes replied. “I’ll let you come to the conclusion as to who's going to be getting the gold jacket.”

JP once again tried to plead Chase’s case based on PFF metrics, but even Cakes, ‘usually an analytics guy,’ had to agree with EB that Parsons’ presence on the eye test ‘is more important than all of those goofball metrics.’

“Micah Parsons jumps off the screen at you. Chase does every once in a while, Micah does it basically all the time,” Cakes said. “Maybe he is close in a lot of the pressure rates and whatever sack win rates, but every GM in the league would take Micah Parsons over Chase Young.”

The guys then played another clip, where Greg Young called Chase a generational talent simply because he made it to the NFL, even as Grant said people expect more because of Chase’s status as a No. 2 pick – and, yeah, what.

“That doesn’t make you a generational talent – that means everyone in the NFL is a generational talent?” Bish asked. “That logic is way off. His definition of generational talent is different than most other people.”

“He has made it and it's great that he's set his family up for life and he's an elite athlete and all of that, but he just hasn't accomplished what people had hoped for, based on what we perceive his ability to be,” EB said.

“They drafted him number two over Tua and Justin Herbert because they thought he could eventually be a defensive player of the year, a la TJ Watt, Miles Garrett and Micah Parsons,” JP replied. “When you look at all those guys, when they win DPOY, they're doing it with like 20 sacks.”

“The expectation when you take a player at No. 2 overall is that every year, you should be like flirting with 12 to 15, if not more, sacks per season,” Cakes added. “That’s the expectation.”

And then, the producer’s room came off the top rope to finish off the rants.

“Is no one gonna call this what it is? This is embarrassing, dude,” Valdez chimed in. “Everyone mocked RG3 for having his dad involved…calling into sports radio, which is bottom of the barrel? It’s embarrassing, and if you were Chase, you should be embarrassed.”

EB tried to stick up for Greg Young a little bit, saying he sympathizes with his plight, but Valdez doubled down using a Bickel child!

“If the Cornell student newspaper wanted to call Megan Bickel the worst libero in history, you’re not gonna write an op-ed piece defending her, are you?” Valdez asked. “It doesn’t matter how nice or respectful he came off, the fact he did it is embarrassing in itself.”

“It felt very bush-league,” JP replied. “Like, I can’t be above it: your son is making millions, that’s part of the deal that you can be criticized.”
