WEBVTT - Make or Break Playcallers 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:08.879 Be Around the NFL Podcast really support Josh Rosen. Welcome 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.000 to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast presented 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.400 by Sirius XM. My name is Dan Hansis and I 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.360 am joined in a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.439 Chris Westling, and Gregg Rose withal What is up? Boys? Hey, 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.479 danno up? By the way, Josh Rosen, can I just 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:31.080 say and keep those Matt money drops coming? The chosen one, 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.120 the Rosen one. It's not a good look. By the 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.800 way that he's buried on this death drop behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.279 It's not like he's an actual rookie anymore. Go win 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.280 a job against the thirty six year old Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.400 and training camp and it's already being set up by 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.400 floors in Miami. I know we jumped into the fish 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.880 tank real quick tonight, but it's being set up. Is 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.839 this is like a done deal, like he's their backup quarterback. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.160 It's not a great look. I agree with you, it's 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.880 not a great look. This should be an open and 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.960 chuck case for Josh Rosen. If he's as good as 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.280 everyone said he was coming out. He's a young man. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.880 Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Fitzpatrick was quoted this week saying, I 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.400 feel more comfortable with myself and my game right now 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.440 than I ever have. And you know what, when it 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.319 comes to I don't doubt it. I I think he's 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.399 always felt comfortable with himself, but now he's just he 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.520 loves his life, he loves being Ryan Fitzpatrick, and maybe 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.840 it's showing up on the field. We shot something today 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.760 with Neil Reynolds over at the nfl UK, our friend 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.319 from Sky Sports, great man Neil, and I noticed in 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.919 the studio lights a glistening off nicely manicured Greg Rosital beard. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:45.520 It's like, why is it glistening? So the product confirmed, Yeah, 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.600 little beard oils in there, WHOA keeps it from getting 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.000 you know, itchy and whatnot. So you have a special 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.000 comb aim directly for your beard exclusively. I know I 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.440 don't have any combs. Put the oil on your hand 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.920 and then so they say, yeah, yeah, but if you're 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.840 a good time buddies from tu Lane, so you probably 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.280 spent some time behind bars with What would they think 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.600 about this new trend towards your hipster identity. I mean 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.040 I think they would embrace it. Really, It's I don't 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.760 know if that's my wife does not embrace it. So 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.040 I think it has a short shelf life and it's 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.080 gonna be gone for the season. What was her complaint? 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.480 We know, because she told you to go on a 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.959 show and tell everybody that you wear the pants in 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.040 the relationship, that you wear the pants in the relationship. Well, 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.800 I've it's it's made it. You know, I've done it 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.400 despite her wishes for months and months. But I feel like, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.480 what doesn't she like about it? Well, you know, mommy, 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:50.240 coming back from you're like, when you're like that when 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.560 you're playing tonsil hockey with your wife, that you got 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:58.840 a promontory point for that one. All right, propatory point. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.040 I think. I think it's just the great thing about 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.320 this podcast is like their friends, even off the here, 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.720 they'll be having this conversation downstairs. Listen to those bros 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:14.120 chop it up all right. Coming up on today's show, 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.840 the Wednesday edition of the Around the NFL podcast, UM, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.919 Chris Westling wrote a banger and you know, he was 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.960 a little sheepish about his banger the last banger we 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.240 spoke about, but this one he pounds a table for. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.600 He believes in it. Yeah, you're a Absolutely. I think 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.560 that banger has been thrown around loosely lately, especially towards 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.520 my work, but this one is is a certifiable banger. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.280 Five new play callers with make or break potential. Uh. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.160 That does sound like a saucy banger. So we're gonna 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.200 dig into that and the coaches that WES will be 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.200 tracking closely in the twenty nineteen season. But before that, 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.920 here's what we're hearing, presented by Sirius XM. Let's do 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:12.800 some news for key and now in the sib NFL 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.720 Pro Football's Most Informative Hour with your host Latn Dawson, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:24.360 Nick Boncani, and Chris Collins. Word yes. First of all, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.920 that's Harry callis yes from Philly, absolutely, who was the 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.520 voiceover guy for HBO Films Forever h HBO Sports. And 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.240 um yes, Nick Bonacani, who had an incredible playing career 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.359 in the NFL. He was a member linebacker of the 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.919 nineteen seventy two undefeated Dolphins. He was inducted into the 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.280 Pro Football Hall of Fame. Played with both the Miami 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.599 Dolphins and the Boston Patriots. He passed away at the 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.800 age of seventy eight UM on Tuesday, and uh, I 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.240 just wanted to say in the reason I played that 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.159 is I grew up. How I became an NFL fan 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.039 really was you know, watching the Jets with my dad. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.279 But then also where I learned about the NFL was 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.800 HBO and Inside the NFL and Bonocantti and Len Dawson 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.800 and later Collinsworth. They were your guide to take you 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.880 through all the games. Is before the internet, you know, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.720 this is before you would have easy access to what 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.160 was going on around the league and you would have 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.800 NFL films going through each game. And in fact that 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.240 I feel like that show was the blueprint for our 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.800 podcast and going through every game on Sunday nights are 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.960 flagship show. So Inside the NFL very important show for 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.039 me and a lot of people. Mark, I know we've 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.760 talked about that show before and and Bonacatti was a 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.360 big part of it. Uh So, I'm sure he will 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.960 be missed. At the age of seventy eight, Nick Bonacatti 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.760 passes away, I feel the same way you do about 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.599 that show, and it was you know, that was back 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.839 during a time when you know, my brother and I 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.880 would fight over the sports page in the morning because 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.880 it's the only content out there now. That feels like 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.640 an absurd that anyone would fight over a newspaper of 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.200 any level. But but but kind of like he he 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.400 was a great communicator. And you know, we're we're too 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.920 young to have known him as a player, But think 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.320 of how many like young people now will know Tony 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.479 Romo for the next fifteen twenty years because of his 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.359 ability to communicate. And so you know, he he also 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.720 he had a son that was paralyzed at age nineteen, right, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.119 and he raised he went on to raise a ton 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.360 of money for research and paralysis. So there was a 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.599 lot of angles and and factors and Nassett's hundreds of 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.880 millions of dollars for the Miami Project a cure paralysis. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.000 A great Patriot too, I mean, it was part of 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.000 a bunch of all NFL teams. Was part of their team. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.839 It was the they did make a championship game in 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.040 the sixties and the a f L. He was part 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.760 of that team. And he's from Springfield, the town right 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.200 next to where I grew up. So I mean he 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.840 had he had a great Patriots career and a great 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:57.680 Dolphins career. Awesome, all right, let's get into it. The news. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.520 Michael Thomas and the Saints. They get it done. Thank God. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.159 The worst, the worst headlines, the worst storylines to talk 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.640 about in July and August are the holdouts. There's just 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.800 no there's no juice to it. But it's important to 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.680 talk about because they're superstar players. So whenever the deal 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.040 gets done, it's good for everybody. A five year, one 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:21.760 million dollar contract extension UM that includes sixty one millions 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.800 a million and guarantees that from rap sheet UM. Thompson 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.000 sat out the start of Saints training camp. He wanted 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.720 a new deal. UM. Instead, he jumps out of that 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.680 hold out list that still includes Zeke Elliott, Melvin Gordon, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.520 uh Trent Williams and others. Twenty six years old, now 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.520 sits a top wide receiver market, surpassing what Odell Beckham 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:48.480 makes eighteen million per year average. Greg Thomas um, he 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:53.239 has really exploded onto the scene and he certainly deserves 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.560 to be in that conversation of the best wide receivers 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.600 in the league. Maybe he's not always brought up, but 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.720 he certainly should be there. He should be has not 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.680 many people match the physicality that he has, and he 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:08.760 has maybe one of the the like most physical bodies 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.360 just in terms of cornerbacks can't get around him and 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.840 he can just box him out with deep speed with 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.000 you know, I think that's what was surprised a lot 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.960 of people in the NFL. That's why he felt to 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.200 the second round that he could be such a big playmaker, 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.840 and he is. He He breaks up a lot of 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.200 the when they don't leave a safety deep. Thomas will 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.040 kill you over the top and he's earned it in 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.600 the age of analytics. He's He's a guy who's nickname 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.000 could be positive outcome. He was the most reliable past 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:38.800 completion positive play in football last year as the security 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.959 blanket for Sean Payton and Drew Brees. I think he's 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.160 battling with DeAndre Hopkins to be decide which one is 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.400 the new Larry Fitzgerald. I just want to mention who 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.120 has taken in front of him in that in that 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:57.560 at wide receiver out, Corey Coleman, Josh Dotson, Lakwan Treadwell. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.960 Those are at least the first round picks, with tom 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.560 Us going midway eight through the second round. You remember 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.400 in the eighties, UM in early nineties speaking of inside 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.280 the NFL in that era when they had the NFL posters, 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.360 and it would be you know, ridiculous, like Dome patrol 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.800 for the Saints, or like the Giants would be the 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.360 bad fellows and they'd be dressed like gangsters West. You're 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.079 positive outcome, can't you just picture Michael Thomas would be 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:27.679 like calculators everywhere, spreadsheets, spreadsheets all around on your bedsheets, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.800 and he's just wearing like a sleeveless shirt in his 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:35.040 football pants. Can make that for us. The artistic listeners 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.640 out there help us out, positive out. It will never 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.720 beat the Donny Ball game, the hit Man, which hangs 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.920 in my garage to this day. Anyway, the and just 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.679 so you know, I mean, if you're not aware, if 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.720 you don't know, now you know Michael Thomas last season 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:55.760 one six nine t d s and no wide receiver 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.560 ever has had as many UM catches in his first 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.760 three years three So he entered the league as a star. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.280 He's got nuclear now he's a superstar. Now he's paid 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.560 like one pretty good player, pretty first time they've really 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.719 had a guy like that in all the years of 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.480 Sean Payton, a guy dominate that didn't never have the 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.720 numbers like that though nothing close ms I'm saying dominating 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.680 the ball and being a top of fight again. You 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.840 always thought it was a spread the wealth type of offense. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.760 They didn't need a number one receiver. Jimmy Graham had 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.880 some years. They were every bit as good as Michael 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.480 Thomas his last year. Scientists going at it in a 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:38.120 big spot. Um, West, you know what, You're gonna get 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:39.800 a little uncofortable in your chair right now because I'm 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.559 gonna talk about something dangerous around the Indianapolis Colts Andrew 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.480 lux calf injury. It's lingering. The Colts quarterback sat out 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.440 Tuesday's practice session. Uh. Frank Reich, the Colts coach, said. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.760 Reporter said, Uh, Luck will not participate in the next 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.200 two practices and ruled him out to play in the 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:03.360 team's first preseason game. Um, it's a nagging injury. It's 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.920 been around for three months. Per NFL Networks Tom Placero, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.400 there are no more doctor appointments, scans or surgery skeltered 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.400 for Luck. Um, but it's been labeled a castring and 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.880 kind of a setback that he's not ready to play 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.160 football yet. Where's your peace scale? At West? One is 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.560 completely dry? Ten underpants soaked. I was hoping you would 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.720 ask this exact question. The peace scale, it's about a one. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.960 I don't know. I mean compared last year when it 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.680 was a nine point nine because of his shoulder. This 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.680 is this pales in comparison to last year. Is concerned. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:40.240 He said he's played through worse pain. Basically, they said 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.120 if he had to play tomorrow, he'd be he'd be 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.520 all right to play. He's got five or what five 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.839 or six weeks before the season starts out. It doesn't 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.840 bother you at all that he's had an injury for 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.600 three months that has not gotten better. It doesn't bother me. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.720 I mean, especially when they said, like previously that he 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.880 would be ready for training game and we're very confident. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.480 I would put it higher because Andrew Luck sounds like 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.040 he's higher. He sounded practically dejected when he said it's 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.560 going backwards. He said the injury was going backwards, and 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.560 he was frustrated because it's been it's been months and 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.240 it doesn't seem like it's serious. But it's like a 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:19.280 four one. There's still some still some triples of your 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:26.760 one that's on the rise, so West, you know, I 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.240 would Jake Brisket, I'd say just get him loose and 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.280 keep him ready. God, I hope I don't have to 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.400 watch him play for a whole year, but this is 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.439 obviously something to watch and we talked about it on 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.720 the show that they cited the Kevin Durant injury. Um 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.280 as you know, a template in terms of be extra 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.800 careful with this. Last thing we need is Andrew Luck 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.280 suffering another serious injury. So it makes all the sense 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.920 in the world to bring him along extra slow. But 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.960 how about some positive development? I just feeling nice. Nothing 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:58.720 good comes from training camp at all, just negative which 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.439 on that very top like a j Green. Yes, he 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.160 was injured in the first or the practice of training 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.960 camp at that field with all the pebbles on it. Uh, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.400 he will miss regular multiple regular season games, which is 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.520 not the outlook that was originally presented. He underwent ankle 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.199 surgery on Tuesday, and when they went in there to 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.120 check it out, they realized the damage is a little 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.200 bit more uh severe than anticipated. So it went from 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.240 the hope that he would be ready for Week one 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.679 to expected to miss multiple regular season games. Rap Sheet reported. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.040 Zach Taylor, the new Bengals coach, confirmed UH that it 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.559 is going to be a bit of time on the 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.520 shelf first superstar wide receiver. Uh and yes, by the way, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.480 Cincinnati follows an opening a week one trip to Seattle 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.800 with games against the Niners, Bills, and Steelers, so they 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.200 could use their best player and they're not gonna have 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.760 him for at least the first couple of games. It 0:13:55.800 --> 0:14:01.559 looks like maybe more. I was taken Isaac Taylor immediately 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:07.079 putting that timeline out there, almost as um away to 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.360 send the signal to Green like take you know, we're 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.679 behind you, and it's like a player friendly move. We're 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.120 gonna put this timetable out as far as possible. Coaches 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.520 usually don't do that, saying, oh, he's definitely gonna miss 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.520 some games in the regular season, Like don't rush it. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.640 You know, if he comes back earlier than that, then 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.080 then you can look like a hero and that'll be 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.520 a pleasant surprise. But I thought it was interesting he 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:31.800 went out of his way to kind of take the 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:37.520 pressure off. Moving on, Trent Williams, where is he out 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.360 with the Redskins. It's not good. Everything we're hearing is 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:44.240 negative that it is a um relationship that is fractured 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.440 beyond repair. Well the athletics. Jeff how reports that the 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:53.080 Redskins are quote having trade discussions regarding Williams. Um and 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:57.080 how added that the Patriots Greg give Boys expected to 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.680 be in the mix if Williams does hit the market. Uh, 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.840 he's on the record, Williams saying he's not gonna play 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.360 for the Redskins anymore. So if this is as bad 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.520 as it seems, we could see a trade coming where yes, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.280 he's thirty one, he's had some issues, injury issues, but um, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.440 these type of offensive lineman west don't typically you know, 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.160 wiggle free this close to the start of the season. 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.160 I would imagine it would be a very healthy market, 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.440 especially for a contender or a team in dire straits 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.240 at offensive line like your Cincinnati Bengals that would never 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.000 do that, but teams that could use a left tackle. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.560 It's gonna be a market if he's out there. Houston 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.520 Texans come to mind, the guy they drafted in the 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.280 first round has been playing guard, not tackle, uh, Titus Howard, 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.640 So they come to mind. Um, it seems that in 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:45.480 the past forty eight hours finally not dawned on the Redskins, 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.120 but they've accepted the fact that Trent Williams is probably 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:49.800 not gonna play for them, so we might as well 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.960 start listening to trades. They signed Donald Penn, and when 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.240 Donald Penn spoke to the media, he said, I didn't 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.600 like playing right tackle last year. I wasn't comfortable with it. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.640 I'm coming to the Redskins to play left tackle. They 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.920 must know something that we don't know that Trent Williams 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.120 isn't coming back. Man, it's just a terrible situation for 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.880 Dwayne Haskins for whoever is playing quarterback for that team, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.200 because I already view the Redskins is one of the Offensively, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:14.920 there's just not a lot to love. There's not a 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.440 lot of weapons, and last year I feel like they 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.480 were basically a run a running team with a tight 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.080 with a with heavy you know, passing options to the 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.080 tight end. They didn't did nothing going on. It's not 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.160 a good situation for a rookie quarterback. I would go 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:28.720 as far as to say Greg that this would be 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.400 a blessing in disguise for the Redskins to trade Trent Williams. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.640 But and certainly one of these are the circumstances. It 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.560 deflates your you know, your ability to get high value 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.680 back for him. But he's a thirty one year old 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.560 left tackle for a team that's probably at least a 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.720 couple of years away. The idea of trading him and 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.680 getting good value back is not the worst things for 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.680 a Redskins team in transition. Depends what's good value. Though 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.080 he's their best player or he has been there is this? 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.920 Is this playoff team next year or this year? No, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.560 but he's their best player. And okay, are the Texans 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.760 going to give up a first round pick for him? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.240 A second round pick? Maybe? I mean with health concerns. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.240 I mean to me, I wouldn't trade Trent Williams unless 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.560 you got a second round pick. He's too Like what 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.920 why is that helping? You? Just let him sit out 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.120 all you see what happens. I don't know they call 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.840 call the bluff on that. I think they could get something. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.800 I mean, Dwayne Brown got a second round pick at 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.520 mid season. Why can't Trent Williams. Trent Williams, who do 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.720 we trust to win the have a have forty million? 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.600 Why all these teams have so much cap space, spend it? 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.160 Spend it on Trent Williams. If it's if it's the Patriots, 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.120 who do you trust to win the deal? Here? Bill 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:41.479 Belichick or Bruce Ellen. Doug Williams is on the phone too. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.760 You know you got trust Doug. I'm a little surprised 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.720 that if the Patriots got in there, but their first 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.439 round pick from a year ago, Isaiah Win still not practicing. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.639 So right now they have uh Joe Tooney, who's their 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.919 left guard, playing left tackle for the most part, so 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.600 it could be a problem. And the other news to 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.879 take out of this that yes, it does continue to streak. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.560 It's been going on for the last seven forty seven 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.720 high level veterans that hit the trade market to immediately 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.119 be attached to the Patriots as a potential suitor. Just 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.960 the record, it's a record that will never be It's 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.159 it's Cal Ripken baseball and baseball. It's the Yankees and 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.760 they that's been the case since the nineties, that they 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.040 been the case since that's that's true. Although your boy, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.840 you know, what are you doing trading for Trevor Bauers? 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.560 Did you want him? I forgot every superstar in Major 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.320 League Baseball is ultimately ticket for the Yankees because they're 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.520 the only game in town. And it's cute that you 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.159 guys fancy yourself contenders, but you know, stay out of 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.240 the you know, big playbox. Well, the oldest team in 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:49.399 baseball thinks it's allowed to win games too. Unexpected British here, sorry, 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.720 furiously googling and Trevor Bauer right now. I don't know 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.240 if you're gonna like Trevor Bauer. I read up on 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.199 him a lot last night, and you could not create 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.440 in a lay any anything or anyone with a more 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:08.240 galling personality than this guy. Yeah, he's a real menace 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.000 on Twitter as well. Oh my god, I think he's 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.600 a sociopath from the very absolutely. It's just gonna be 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.160 hard to root for a shutout from that guy every 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.639 time out. Alright. In other news, Mark, why didn't you 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.719 jump in there? You've been active on Twitter with baseball 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.680 stuff recently. You know, my baseball content it arrives when 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.520 it arrives, not when it's asked for. Although that that 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.800 reminds me of interaction we had walking up here where 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.240 uh Andy, Greg who's big time direct giant, exact giant, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.720 uh you know, because he's so tall of his nickname, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.719 just walked this by and he's like Sessler. I've been 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:49.200 tweeting out some weird lately. Well, you know, I love. 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.760 The people think that I only know about football and 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.040 that I don't have a rich history covering baseball as well. 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:03.440 Moving on the Cowboys back in business with Alfred Morris. Uh, 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.199 this deal comes of course at a time uh when 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.879 Dallas could use more bodies in their backfield at running 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:15.240 back as a potential protracted hold out with Zekiel Elliott 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:19.040 goes on. So thirty years old, alf Morris, you know 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.320 he's he's had moments, He's had moments, and it's been 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:26.320 thirty years old for seven years. That's fair. Uh. Yeah, 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.040 I accidentally called him Albert Morris our last show and 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:31.800 that we're talking about his rookie season that was two 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.480 thousand twelve, But it feels like he's been in the 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.879 league since about He's one of those guys. But he 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.640 actually did some things a couple of years ago with Dallas. 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:44.080 Um in um limited duty and you could do worse. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.520 Probably probably could do better, but you do worse. Also, 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:51.800 nice little insurance policy. He knows that knows the system there. Um. 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:57.120 James later reported something interesting on Tuesday that her sources 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.480 from Dallas told her the Cowboys do not like the 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.880 way Todd Girl's contract was structured and they want to 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.879 reset the market rather than set the market. And she 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.440 had she said they're not close that you know, there's 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.000 you know, some chatter about they didn't love the look 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.320 that he's in Cabo right now working out this. It 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.240 is a good test case of whether Levan Bell really 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:24.399 did uh potentially changed the way players are are thinking, 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.440 because Gordon and Zeke in theory, you know, could could 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.399 do the Bell playbook, not the whole season, but maybe 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.240 actually missing some games in theory, if he actually has 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.000 changed their minds at all, I mean, I think it 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:37.760 was the other show a couple of a couple of 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.679 shows ago when I mentioned that the only holdout that 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.840 had me concerned at all was not this one. And 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.679 I am this is starting to get on my on 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:51.640 my radar a little bit as a nettlesome issue. Well, 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.880 put Mark, that's what's happened, like making just you gotta 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:59.720 make a comment at some point, but the topic, that's 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:04.600 what's happening in the news, all right, So uh, it's 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.960 like crap, now I have to say something. It's like that. 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.399 It's like a window into Marks in turn like interior. 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.159 Oh shoot, I better say so soon they're gonna know 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:18.280
