27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: Now this stuff is changing by the minute. I think

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: my first takeaway is the money in the NFL. Now

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: there are guards making what quarterbacks did ten years ago.

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: The explosion of revenue in the NFL based on your DraftKings,

31
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: your sports gambling money, and your TV contracts is enormous.

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: I also think what's important to note anybody connected to

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback, a quarterback, protect a quarterback, or pursuing a

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to get paid. Safeties, the furthest from

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback are not getting paid. Look around right now, safeties,

36
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: pretty good safeties are being let go. They're the furthest

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: player from a quarterback. I mean, I don't know where

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams goes of the Seahawks formerly the Jets, who

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: pays for him, But yet guards are getting paid. The

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Rams now have two Pro Bowl level expensive guards. As

41
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: they'll move another guard to center, they're protecting an older

42
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: quarterback his knees. Quarterbacks need to be protected, and that's

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: where the money's going. The other thing of influence that

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: jumps out to me is that the influence of the

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: head coach. So a great example, Matt Lafleur is an

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: offensive coach. He goes and convinces the front office I

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: can make Josh Jacobs work. Now, Aaron Jones is very good,

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: he's let go probably too often banged up. Now Josh

49
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Jacobs has also had injuries, but he may view Josh

50
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Jacobs as a better version of a good player Aaron Jones.

51
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: So they make the call Rams offensive coach go get

52
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: another expensive guard, Jonah Jackson, who is a terrific young,

53
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: late twenty year old guard. Would a defensive coach pay

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: that kind of money or have that influence to want

55
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: two expensive guards. Antonio Pierce, defensive coach, goes to Mark

56
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: Davis and says, hey, get me in this division against

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: Herbert and Mahomes. Get me an expensive one hundred million

58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: dollar interior lineman Christian Wilkins eighty five million guaranteed. You

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: see the influence. Gabe Davis, an inconsistent receiver. Doug Peterson

60
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: offensive coach, convinces his front office, get me Gabe Davis,

61
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Let's pay him forty million dollars. Jim Harbaugh, this is

62
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: not a surprise. Harbaugh is willing. In fact, I think

63
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: we talked about this about two weeks ago. He wants

64
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: a running back, want some power football. He goes and

65
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: gives Gus Edwards Baltimore a two year deal offensive coach.

66
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: You see the influence. The guys making money in this

67
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: league are not general managers. It's quarterbacks and head coaches

68
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: are making fifteen million, ten million, twenty million, thirty forty

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. They have real power in the building.

70
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: Those defensive coaches they're gonna I mean, Mike Tomlin, look

71
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: at all the money the Steelers spend on the defensive side.

72
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: Now look at the look at the rams outside Aaron Donald.

73
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: They're not paying anybody on defense. They're gonna pay Cooper Cup,

74
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, two guards, Rob Havenstein. They're paying their their

75
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: tight end. See where the money goes, Mike Tomlin. It's

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: the defensive guys getting paid. So that tells you the

77
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: influence of the head coach in terms of moves that

78
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: will impact wins. Well, none of these teams are going

79
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: to pay this money if they don't think it makes

80
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: the team better, So we can all kind of admit that. Listen,

81
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: I think Kirk Cousins to Atlanta is it more than

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to pay. Yes, but the market for Kirk

83
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Cousins was going to be forty million up and he's

84
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: going to get about forty five million for Atlanta. He

85
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: has tremendous value in Atlanta, tremendous value defensive coach, weaker division,

86
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: He'll be arguably the best quarterback in that division. They

87
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: have young offensive players that need guidance. That's tremendous value.

88
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: But in Minnesota, where he's not his younger talent that

89
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: as Jared Goff looks like Jordan Love has a chance

90
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: to be more talented and more productive than him. Caleb

91
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: Williams is coming into the fold, and they look at

92
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: it in Minnesota and say, we have two good receivers,

93
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: a great left tackle, very good tight end, excellent offensive coach.

94
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: We don't need to spend forty five million dollars for

95
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, We're going to go get maybe a Sam

96
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Darnold on the cheap draft a quarterback kind of reset

97
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: our quarterback clock. So Kirk Cousins value in Atlanta is

98
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: pretty strong, young team, defensive coach, weaker division where you

99
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: drop twenty seven points, you can win a lot of

100
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: games in that division. In the NFC North, you got

101
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams coming in, and regardless of what anybody says,

102
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Bears have some talent, now Bears have some talent. You

103
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: also have Jordan Love and the Packers their talent overwhelmingly.

104
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: Now with Josh Jacobs on the offensive side, Detroit stacked offensively,

105
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: best offensive line in the league, Ben Johnson, great coordinator,

106
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: amer On Saint Brown, Piney Sewell, a tremendous young running back,

107
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. So the value for Kirk Cousins of Minnesota,

108
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: let's go get a JJ McCarthy, Let's go get a

109
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: Penix of bon Nicks, and then Sam Darnold reset the

110
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: quarterback clock. Sam Darnold on the cheap. So it just

111
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: depends on who the coach is. I think again, if

112
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback protecting the quarterback. Pursuing a quarterback connected

113
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, you're gonna make a lot of money

114
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: and the league is on fire. It's just I'm looking

115
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: at some of the moves. Gardner Minshew went to the

116
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Raiders in that division, good luck, But Antonio Pears is

117
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: going to spend a fortune on a defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

118
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: They get two years, twenty five million on the cheap,

119
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: they go and get a quarterback. I don't think Sean

120
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: McVay or Matt Lafleur not that they need Gardner Minshew.

121
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they would go sign a two year

122
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: deal with Gardner Minshew. That's not their answer. So you

123
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: just see the importance offensive coaches put on a valuable back,

124
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: a tackle, a weapon, a quarterback. All of it's fun, though,

125
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: isn't it. You know, one of the things the NFL

126
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: has created through the years is there's a lot more

127
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: young general managers. In years and years ago, you just

128
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: didn't see this kind of activity. Older general managers very

129
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: reluctant to take some swings on this stuff. But with

130
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the youth in free agency and the youth in coaches,

131
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot of these less sneed and Sean McVay and

132
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. You know, these guys are close,

133
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: They have each other's back. They work in unison, and

134
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: they're aggressive people. Younger people in society tend to be

135
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: a bit more some would say reckless, but more aggressive,

136
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, than older people. So I love what it is.

137
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Right now, we're seeing in the NFL some big swings

138
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: and there's not a single move. Let me look at

139
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: try to be critical here of a move. I don't know.

140
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking over again. We could have twelve new ones

141
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: by the time I'm done reading this. Gabe Davis three

142
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: years forty million to Jacksonville is pretty pricey. That probably

143
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: means they're moving off Ridley or a Christian Kirk, both

144
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: of who I like. That's a little pricey for me,

145
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: But it's Trevor Lawrence got a lot invested. Doug Peterson's

146
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: going to spend money on offense to make that work,

147
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: So I get it little pricey for my taste. Now,

148
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Rams pay Jonah Jackson, the former Lions guard, three years

149
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: fifty million. You say, oh, that's expensive. They already have

150
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Kevin Dotson, but they're moving the rookie guard last year

151
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna move him to center. So it makes sense, right,

152
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: you're not paying your left tackle, now you're not paying

153
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: your center. Yet you're paying your guards to protect Matt Stafford.

154
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: I get it. I guess those two you could say,

155
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: are at the higher end the price point. Nothing bothers me.

156
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: I will say, I like Aaron Jones with the Packers

157
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: a lot. I also like Josh Jacobs of Green Bay.

158
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is a good football player. Where do you

159
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: go with a running back like Austin Eckler free agent

160
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Congori wants to go. I like Aaron Jones

161
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: a lot. That's a really good player out there. These

162
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: young general managers, though, a lot of these guys if

163
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: not analytics. They're going to push back on safeties. They're

164
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: going to push back on off ball linebackers. They're gonna

165
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: push back on running backs. That's what they're gonna do.

166
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur goes the opposite way. He pays for Josh Jacobs.

167
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting one. So the Packers released David Bochtiari.

168
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: So he's missed forty one games in three years. He

169
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: was really good in his prime, but he can't stay healthy.

170
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: We know Aaron Rodgers has a history of wanting his

171
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: buddies to play with him, and not necessarily his great buddies.

172
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb at once very productive past his prime. I

173
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: guarantee you he'd love Backdiari to protect him for a

174
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: game Alan Lizard. So again, I could see Bocdari coming

175
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: over and the Jets still drafting a left tackle and

176
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Bochtiari being there for some reassurance, some guidance, almost a

177
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: coach to a rookie left tackle. Listen Andrew Thomas for

178
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: the Giants was a very good left tackle. He wasn't

179
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: ready to play when he came into the league. He

180
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: got overwhelmed a bit. That is not an easy position

181
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: to adapt to college to the pros. Left tackle, quarterback,

182
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: left tackle, that is a lot to put on a

183
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: twenty two year old's plate. I could see Boctieri going

184
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: to the Jets for a year again, can't stay healthy?

185
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: Would he take incredibly team friendly one year deal. Aaron

186
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: and David Bachtiari are close. Green Bay made a lot

187
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: of moves, but again, young aggressive head coach in a

188
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: division where Detroit's got real, real talent, stacked roster. They

189
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: add Josh Jacobs, they release Aaron Jones, they lose Darnhill

190
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: Savage and John Runyon. They released David Bachtiari, They add

191
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: a safety Xavier McKinney. A lot of movement in Green Bay.

192
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Not known as a team that does make a lot

193
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: of moves of note in the free agent period. So

194
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: there are some names out there that have not committed

195
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: yet or been signed yet. Justin Fields from the Bears.

196
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a tremendous market. You're going

197
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: to have to pay him within a year. Calvin Ridley

198
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars ride receiver is going to be out there. Leonard Williams,

199
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: defensive lineman for the Seahawks. Austin Eckler Chargers. Ryan Tannehill

200
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: quarterback Titans. You know, Tannehill is interesting, so big Mobile

201
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Accurate at one point was a number one seat in

202
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: the AFC. It's interesting if you had Ryan Tannehill or

203
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Now Tannehill's more expensive, who would you choose. Well,

204
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: kind of my belief is you can't worry too much

205
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: about cost at quarterback. I mean, it's obviously if you're Minnesota,

206
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: forty five's too rich On Kirk Cousins, but it wouldn't

207
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: be if he didn't have a surgery, was three years

208
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: younger and a little more mobile, then you'd just pay

209
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: it right. Tannehill's interesting. If Tannehill and Justin Fields are

210
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: your options, I mean, one has been a number one seed.

211
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: One can't win games. Sounds crazy. Derreck Henry of the

212
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: Titans again, I'd be interested one or two year deal.

213
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: The Justin Field scenario is really interesting. Right, he hasn't

214
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: been signed yet. There are certainly arguments in his favor. Hey,

215
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: it's the Bears. They can't get quarterback right. His first

216
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: year to year and a half, the offensive line was horrible.

217
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: He had a first year defensive head coach. You know,

218
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: the division has better teams and more experienced coaches, Dan Campbell,

219
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. There are certainly arguments to be made that

220
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: he could be better elsewhere. I think that's reasonable. I've

221
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: said before, Sam Darnold reportedly is going to get a

222
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: shot in Minnesota with the really nice offensive weapons. Is

223
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Justin Field's worthy of another shot? I think so now.

224
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I thought Atlanta was his best space, but Seattle's still

225
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, it does say something that Antonio

226
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: Peers took Gardner Minshew over justin fields. Now, what's scary

227
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: about Minshew is that he had one of the smartest

228
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: offensive coaches in the league, Shane Steiken. So is Minshue

229
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: a little overvalued based on a brilliant offensive coach and

230
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders aren't going to get nearly as good of

231
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: productivity out of him now with a defensive head coach

232
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: and a defensive culture, that argument makes a lot of

233
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: sense to me. You know, That's why I always worry.

234
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: So Kevin O'Connell is an offensive coach, they have justin Jefferson.

235
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Kirk Cousins was on fire before the injury.

236
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: Now he goes to young offensive weapons and a defensive coach,

237
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: it's realistic to think he won't be as productive. So

238
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: in free agency, when you get a quarterback or a

239
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: star receiver like t Higgins is out there right potentially

240
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: in a trade, Well, T Higgins is going to go

241
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: to a place. He's not going to Kansas City, I doubt. Now,

242
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: if he got Mahomes, then spend some money. But the

243
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: truth is he has Joe Burrow, okay, and then he

244
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: has an offensive coach, and then he has Jamar Chase

245
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: on the other side, drawing double teams. So T Higgins productivity,

246
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: you could argue for a number two receiver, he's in

247
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: a perfect space to be productive. Offensive coach, great quarterback,

248
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: star receiver. On the other side, Yeah, but what if

249
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: he goes to an average quarterback. What if T Higgins

250
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: ends up in New England and he is the dominant

251
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: one draws double teams if they have a rookie quarterback

252
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: it's a defensive culture, then T Higgins could disappear. Tyreek

253
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: Hill was lucky he went Andy Reid to Mike McDaniel

254
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: and Tyreek's great. But so much of this stuff is situational.

255
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: T Higgins is at the perfect place for a number

256
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: two receiver to eat Burrow. The offensive coach Jamar Chase perfect,

257
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: no guarantees he would do that if he went to

258
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now I don't think he's going to the Raiders.

259
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: But all this stuff is situational. Remember only about thirty

260
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: three percent. I think the number is a free agent's hit, right,

261
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: that's it. So a lot of times you see a

262
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: player and you look at him and go, well, how

263
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: good is it going to be? Like I think Saquon

264
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: Barkley to the Eagles could be productive. First of all,

265
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: better offensive line in Philadelphia. Both the Giants and the

266
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: Eagles have offensive coaches, but a better old line in Philadelphia.

267
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: You have a better quarterback in Philly, less reliant on

268
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, less predictable offen. You've also got two excellent

269
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers Devonte Smith and aj Brown. Eagles always have

270
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: good tight ends, so you can't glom onto and focus

271
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: on a Saquon Barkley like you could do with the

272
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: New York Giants. So I think Saquon Barkley could go

273
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and you lock up and you're like, oh,

274
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting the best version of Saquon Barkley. You know,

275
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: the wide receivers wide, keep the safeties out of the box.

276
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,359
Speaker 1: You have very productive pass catching tight ends in Philadelphia.

277
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: A quarterback that can move all of a sudden Saquon

278
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: Barkley in Philadelphia. Better offensive line. You may be looking

279
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: at a proll Bowl running back Saquon Barkley. If I'm

280
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley today, I am fist pumpin' get me to Philadelphia,

281
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: Get me the Eagles playbook, better a line, better weapons,

282
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: better quarterback. What's not to light. You could get fewer

283
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: carries and be more productive. So, you know, like a

284
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: lot of these guys, I look at and I think,

285
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes a good player is a good player.

286
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: But if I'm Josh Jacobs for the Raiders and I

287
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: get now an offensive coach over the last ten years,

288
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: better offensive lines, I would say a weaker defensive division. Okay,

289
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: so you know you start looking at that division. Minnesota

290
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great defense. Detroit is mostly about offense.

291
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: So I look at Josh Jacobs and I think, I

292
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: go to a winning culture with winning momentum and offensive coach.

293
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: I've got tremendous tight end and wide receiver weapons young

294
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: and it looks like Jordan Love. Again, here's a quarterback

295
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: that can move and now he's got some experience in

296
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: the system and starting. I'm Josh Jacobs. So Saquon Barkley

297
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Giants to the Eagles. Josh Jacobs Raiders are the Packers.

298
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm a running back. I should be much more efficient,

299
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: much more productive, perhaps even with fewer carries. Isn't that

300
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: a running back's dream? Fewer care more production, more touchdowns.

301
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: So there's an argument there that like a Barkley and

302
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: a Josh Jacobs. Those everybody's saying, you know, running backs

303
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: very sad nobody wants a running back. Satwuan Barkley and

304
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs got great landing spots. I'd be shocked if

305
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: both aren't more productive. I mean, green Bay doesn't make

306
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: moves in free agency, but Jordan loves twenty five, Jacob's

307
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: twenty six, must Grave the tight End twenty three, Read

308
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: the Receiver twenty three Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs. I mean

309
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: green Bay's offense is going to be dynamic for years,

310
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: and they don't spend money in free agency this this

311
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: they just want to make sure they can get a

312
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: running back that's healthy. If you don't like green Bay's offense,

313
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're watching because they got nothing

314
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: but young, dynamic, twitchy, fast, talented pieces. Tight end, running back,

315
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver, quarterback. Thanks so much for listening. If you've
