Good Morning, Welcome to Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:27,748 --> 00:00:29,628 Speaker 1: We are live in New York City, where the clouds 4 00:00:29,668 --> 00:00:31,988 Speaker 1: had finally lifted. It was our rainy one This week 5 00:00:32,028 --> 00:00:35,028 Speaker 1: We've got sunshine and big ideas here on the show. 6 00:00:35,428 --> 00:00:38,268 Speaker 1: It's Friday, April eighth. My name is Jane Slater, alongside 7 00:00:38,308 --> 00:00:41,428 Speaker 1: Kyle Brand, Peter Scheger, a two time pro bowler, The 8 00:00:41,628 --> 00:00:47,028 Speaker 1: X Factor, Dante Hall. How are you guys all right? 9 00:00:47,148 --> 00:00:49,908 Speaker 1: We haven't really heard too much from Aaron Rodgers since 10 00:00:49,948 --> 00:00:53,468 Speaker 1: he signed that huge contract extension, but then yesterday here 11 00:00:53,468 --> 00:00:55,748 Speaker 1: he is a backstage in a conference with none other 12 00:00:55,788 --> 00:00:59,348 Speaker 1: than Sir Williams called her the goat and declared himself 13 00:00:59,348 --> 00:01:01,988 Speaker 1: a hype man for her comeback at Wimbledon. I gotta 14 00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:05,148 Speaker 1: love the Mandoline. That's a ton of town for one 15 00:01:05,308 --> 00:01:08,508 Speaker 1: ig story, so that God is thinking here. As far 16 00:01:08,548 --> 00:01:11,708 Speaker 1: as the Packers, they traded a pretty talented player out 17 00:01:11,708 --> 00:01:15,268 Speaker 1: of their wide receiver room, Davante Adams, who is now 18 00:01:15,348 --> 00:01:18,588 Speaker 1: in Vegas. And here's what they've got left just three 19 00:01:18,668 --> 00:01:22,948 Speaker 1: weeks until the twenty twenty two NFL Draft. Randall Cobb 20 00:01:23,028 --> 00:01:26,748 Speaker 1: al Bazzard Molik Taylor. So Green Bay has two first 21 00:01:26,788 --> 00:01:29,948 Speaker 1: round picks, twenty second and twenty eighth. Overall, some nice 22 00:01:30,028 --> 00:01:32,428 Speaker 1: draft capital to work with. But guys, I present this 23 00:01:32,508 --> 00:01:35,788 Speaker 1: question to you this morning. Should the Packers draft a 24 00:01:35,908 --> 00:01:39,188 Speaker 1: wide receiver in Round one? No matter what? In other words, 25 00:01:39,188 --> 00:01:41,068 Speaker 1: I don't care what's on the board, They're picking a 26 00:01:41,108 --> 00:01:42,908 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Why are we all smiling? There's something I'm 27 00:01:42,988 --> 00:01:45,068 Speaker 1: using about this question because it's going to come up, 28 00:01:45,068 --> 00:01:47,628 Speaker 1: and I know I like this question. The chips are 29 00:01:47,628 --> 00:01:49,388 Speaker 1: going to fall this way where they are going to 30 00:01:49,428 --> 00:01:51,628 Speaker 1: be one or two wide receivers out on the board, 31 00:01:51,628 --> 00:01:54,588 Speaker 1: and it might be Treylon Burks, it might be Chris o'lavy. 32 00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:56,628 Speaker 1: And we're gonna go right back into thing. What does 33 00:01:56,708 --> 00:01:59,108 Speaker 1: Rogers want? What do you do to appease Rogers? And 34 00:01:59,148 --> 00:02:01,988 Speaker 1: would Aaron have a voice in this thing? I think 35 00:02:01,988 --> 00:02:03,828 Speaker 1: you have to just stay the course and do it. 36 00:02:03,908 --> 00:02:06,668 Speaker 1: The Packers due, and that's draft the best player available 37 00:02:06,948 --> 00:02:08,748 Speaker 1: and draft the guy that they think gives him the best. 38 00:02:09,068 --> 00:02:10,988 Speaker 1: I think the proof is in the pudding. They go 39 00:02:11,068 --> 00:02:12,908 Speaker 1: thirteen and three every year, and it's the guys that 40 00:02:12,988 --> 00:02:15,228 Speaker 1: they draft in the first round who seemed to be 41 00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:18,388 Speaker 1: major contributors. Look, people freaked out when they took Rashawn 42 00:02:18,468 --> 00:02:22,788 Speaker 1: Garry twelfth. Overall really good, jayar Alexander really good last year, 43 00:02:22,908 --> 00:02:26,428 Speaker 1: Eric Stokes really good. This front office, for all their 44 00:02:26,428 --> 00:02:28,828 Speaker 1: faults and communication and maybe with the way they handle 45 00:02:28,908 --> 00:02:31,588 Speaker 1: Rodgers and maybe the way they do their business outside 46 00:02:31,588 --> 00:02:34,348 Speaker 1: of the building, they draft really well. These guys are 47 00:02:34,348 --> 00:02:37,748 Speaker 1: really good top to bottom. That roster's really talented. I 48 00:02:37,788 --> 00:02:43,028 Speaker 1: would suggest this though, as we enter draft season and 49 00:02:43,148 --> 00:02:46,388 Speaker 1: draft Frenzy put it out there to Rogers, hey, are 50 00:02:46,508 --> 00:02:49,708 Speaker 1: there any guys in this draft you've had your eye on, 51 00:02:50,308 --> 00:02:52,668 Speaker 1: because after the fact, we don't want to have to 52 00:02:52,708 --> 00:02:56,388 Speaker 1: deal with Well, Rogers actually really really liked Garrett Wilson 53 00:02:56,428 --> 00:02:57,948 Speaker 1: and they didn't trade up to get him, and he's 54 00:02:57,988 --> 00:03:00,508 Speaker 1: pissed about that. Or Dotson from Penn State was on 55 00:03:00,508 --> 00:03:02,468 Speaker 1: the board and Rogers loved him. He talked about it 56 00:03:02,508 --> 00:03:04,788 Speaker 1: afterwards to McAfee. They wish they took Why don't you 57 00:03:04,908 --> 00:03:06,908 Speaker 1: not have Rogers reached out to you give the olive 58 00:03:06,908 --> 00:03:10,028 Speaker 1: branch to Roger the best friends reach out to him, say, hey, 59 00:03:10,308 --> 00:03:12,428 Speaker 1: take a look at the wide receiver class. We have 60 00:03:12,468 --> 00:03:15,228 Speaker 1: two picks twenty two and twenty eight. If there's somebody 61 00:03:15,348 --> 00:03:17,708 Speaker 1: in that group that you think might slip to us 62 00:03:17,708 --> 00:03:19,548 Speaker 1: that you have an eye on, let us know so 63 00:03:19,628 --> 00:03:21,668 Speaker 1: we have your voice. Doesn't mean they're gonna take him 64 00:03:21,748 --> 00:03:23,748 Speaker 1: through the decency to at least reach out to him. 65 00:03:23,788 --> 00:03:26,428 Speaker 1: But gosh, if you have a run on wide receivers 66 00:03:26,508 --> 00:03:29,388 Speaker 1: in the teens, don't just take a guy because he's 67 00:03:29,388 --> 00:03:31,268 Speaker 1: a guy and say, look, Aaron, we did what you 68 00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:32,988 Speaker 1: told us to do. That doesn't get them any closer 69 00:03:33,028 --> 00:03:34,748 Speaker 1: to a championship because I don't know if the rookie 70 00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:37,268 Speaker 1: wide receiver is gonna be the number one anyway. Well, 71 00:03:37,388 --> 00:03:40,148 Speaker 1: and the Jordan Love Draft. Rogers came out afterwards and 72 00:03:40,268 --> 00:03:42,628 Speaker 1: was talking about the draft and he's like, yeah, you know, 73 00:03:42,668 --> 00:03:45,628 Speaker 1: I liked the kid from LSU, who was Jefferson. I 74 00:03:45,668 --> 00:03:48,548 Speaker 1: liked he's talking about he had takes on the wide receivers, 75 00:03:48,588 --> 00:03:50,268 Speaker 1: especially because they traded in that draft. He thought they 76 00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:52,308 Speaker 1: were gonna grab one. They took a quarterback. I find 77 00:03:52,308 --> 00:03:54,788 Speaker 1: this amusing too, because they got twenty two and twenty eight. 78 00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:56,988 Speaker 1: If they don't take a wide out at twenty two 79 00:03:57,268 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 1: and they're on the clock at twenty eight, everyone's gonna 80 00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:00,428 Speaker 1: be on the edge of their seat, being like, are 81 00:04:00,428 --> 00:04:02,228 Speaker 1: they gonna do that? Are they seriously gonna go over 82 00:04:02,308 --> 00:04:04,268 Speaker 1: to head? And they might, they might not. The two 83 00:04:04,468 --> 00:04:08,148 Speaker 1: strangest things I think Belichick's inability to draft a wide 84 00:04:08,148 --> 00:04:12,148 Speaker 1: receiver and the Packers refusal too. It's Lizard, it's Geronimo, 85 00:04:12,308 --> 00:04:14,948 Speaker 1: It's those type of guys. So I would say, Peter, 86 00:04:15,068 --> 00:04:18,708 Speaker 1: typically it's like, yeah, unless you love a guy, unless 87 00:04:18,708 --> 00:04:21,788 Speaker 1: it's this situation, because you're saying every year it works, 88 00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:25,708 Speaker 1: does it? It sort of works it most team works, 89 00:04:25,748 --> 00:04:29,108 Speaker 1: it doesn't Rogers work. So the fact and now he's back, 90 00:04:29,108 --> 00:04:31,628 Speaker 1: you're gonna get two years of him guaranteed, maybe more, 91 00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:33,548 Speaker 1: But you're gonna get too, get one of these guys, 92 00:04:33,548 --> 00:04:36,068 Speaker 1: not not too, just one. If they go through that 93 00:04:36,108 --> 00:04:37,868 Speaker 1: first draft on too and they take a guard in 94 00:04:37,908 --> 00:04:40,428 Speaker 1: the linebacker, my head's gonna explode. And I have a 95 00:04:40,428 --> 00:04:42,268 Speaker 1: feeling the guy with the greasy man bun's head. Will 96 00:04:42,588 --> 00:04:45,628 Speaker 1: I really do I'm not at the Crypto convention with Serena. 97 00:04:45,748 --> 00:04:48,868 Speaker 1: I'm really not. You guys, However, we will have mutual 98 00:04:48,868 --> 00:04:52,028 Speaker 1: heads exploding, but not from surprise. I won't be surprised, 99 00:04:52,028 --> 00:04:54,588 Speaker 1: will you. I would be very surprised, right, because I'm 100 00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:58,308 Speaker 1: with you. I think they should definitely choose a receiver. Yes, 101 00:04:58,388 --> 00:05:01,548 Speaker 1: at twenty two, come on, take the best available, But 102 00:05:01,588 --> 00:05:03,708 Speaker 1: at twenty eight, you better go get a guy because 103 00:05:03,748 --> 00:05:06,508 Speaker 1: I don't see any one on this roster currently that 104 00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:09,588 Speaker 1: is a game changer. Look at the last five Super 105 00:05:09,628 --> 00:05:11,988 Speaker 1: Bowl winners and this day and aids with the way 106 00:05:12,028 --> 00:05:14,788 Speaker 1: the game is played today, you need a go getter 107 00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:18,228 Speaker 1: on the office. Evevent Cooper Cup obviously was a MVP 108 00:05:18,348 --> 00:05:21,948 Speaker 1: as well as Julian Element. The reason maybe Rogers hasn't won, 109 00:05:22,628 --> 00:05:26,228 Speaker 1: it's because he hasn't had a constant influx of talented players. 110 00:05:26,268 --> 00:05:28,748 Speaker 1: I just don't think you can win in today's league 111 00:05:28,908 --> 00:05:32,108 Speaker 1: with just average guys at the wide opposition. You need 112 00:05:32,348 --> 00:05:35,148 Speaker 1: that person on offense that's gonna be a game changer. 113 00:05:35,188 --> 00:05:38,308 Speaker 1: And at twenty two, yes, you take the best available player, 114 00:05:38,388 --> 00:05:40,988 Speaker 1: but doesn't matter size and speed does? It doesn't matter 115 00:05:41,028 --> 00:05:43,628 Speaker 1: because I think anyone in this draft this year, any 116 00:05:43,628 --> 00:05:45,588 Speaker 1: one of those guys, it's better than they than they 117 00:05:45,628 --> 00:05:48,308 Speaker 1: have currently on the roster. I think the Rogers offense 118 00:05:48,388 --> 00:05:50,868 Speaker 1: would digress if they don't go get a game changer. 119 00:05:50,908 --> 00:05:52,268 Speaker 1: And you're not gonna get a guy in a free 120 00:05:52,268 --> 00:05:54,148 Speaker 1: agency you just put up the list of the guys. 121 00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:55,948 Speaker 1: They don't do it, Fred, no one is going to 122 00:05:55,988 --> 00:05:58,348 Speaker 1: sign there, so you gotta go get it in a draft. 123 00:05:58,508 --> 00:06:00,948 Speaker 1: Because of the reason you said, well, I just even 124 00:06:00,948 --> 00:06:02,428 Speaker 1: look at what we've seen in the free agent and 125 00:06:02,588 --> 00:06:05,188 Speaker 1: the free agent market and how teams are going aggressively 126 00:06:05,188 --> 00:06:07,628 Speaker 1: after some of these wide receivers to have a complimentary 127 00:06:07,668 --> 00:06:10,108 Speaker 1: piece to their quarterback. In other words, the teams that 128 00:06:10,148 --> 00:06:12,588 Speaker 1: are winning now have got a guy exactly. And I 129 00:06:12,588 --> 00:06:15,068 Speaker 1: don't know that Packers has a guy now. Randall Cobb 130 00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:19,068 Speaker 1: is his guy, but he needs more guys. And so 131 00:06:19,188 --> 00:06:21,188 Speaker 1: to answer the question, I don't think that they have 132 00:06:21,268 --> 00:06:23,828 Speaker 1: to draft in the first round, but they better do 133 00:06:23,908 --> 00:06:26,908 Speaker 1: it multiple times than if we're looking at the second third. 134 00:06:26,948 --> 00:06:30,068 Speaker 1: You can find quality wide receivers in the mid round, 135 00:06:30,268 --> 00:06:31,908 Speaker 1: but then you're also I think you're gonna have to 136 00:06:31,908 --> 00:06:34,428 Speaker 1: address it in free agency to so you got to 137 00:06:34,508 --> 00:06:36,828 Speaker 1: find a wide receiver. You've got to find a guy. 138 00:06:37,068 --> 00:06:39,268 Speaker 1: I just don't know where they're going to find that guy. 139 00:06:39,308 --> 00:06:41,268 Speaker 1: I don't think just at twenty two. If some of 140 00:06:41,308 --> 00:06:43,908 Speaker 1: the best wide receivers we've talked about, the Chris Laves, 141 00:06:44,028 --> 00:06:47,028 Speaker 1: the Jamison Williams, the Treylon Burks. If they're not there 142 00:06:47,028 --> 00:06:48,788 Speaker 1: at twenty two, I don't think you just pick for 143 00:06:48,788 --> 00:06:51,468 Speaker 1: the sake of picking. But I think if they're there, 144 00:06:51,628 --> 00:06:55,588 Speaker 1: you absolutely have to one of those guys would be there. Yeah, 145 00:06:55,628 --> 00:06:57,108 Speaker 1: I agree, you have to take a guy. I don't know. 146 00:06:57,108 --> 00:06:58,348 Speaker 1: There might be a run of the teams and then 147 00:06:58,388 --> 00:07:00,228 Speaker 1: you're all a sudden, My gosh, we have a second round, 148 00:07:00,308 --> 00:07:03,628 Speaker 1: great home up, So get a guy. How about this one? 149 00:07:03,628 --> 00:07:06,828 Speaker 1: How about your package? Those? And you call Seattle? You 150 00:07:06,988 --> 00:07:10,188 Speaker 1: all a Washington Terry mclaurin's a good wide receiver. He's 151 00:07:10,188 --> 00:07:12,188 Speaker 1: in the end finary. He han't going. There's plans to 152 00:07:12,188 --> 00:07:13,948 Speaker 1: get an extension. But I don't know, like they've got 153 00:07:13,948 --> 00:07:16,268 Speaker 1: to be creative here. And I think, Jane, to your point, 154 00:07:16,308 --> 00:07:18,908 Speaker 1: there are free agents out there. But if you sign 155 00:07:19,028 --> 00:07:22,548 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham or you signed Jarvis Landry, is that getting 156 00:07:22,548 --> 00:07:24,228 Speaker 1: you over the top. I don't know, because those are 157 00:07:24,308 --> 00:07:27,428 Speaker 1: number twos to me right. Maybe not Odell, but he's 158 00:07:27,428 --> 00:07:29,508 Speaker 1: coming off the ACL. You won't even have him for 159 00:07:29,588 --> 00:07:31,268 Speaker 1: half the year. You have to spend a lot of 160 00:07:31,268 --> 00:07:33,428 Speaker 1: time talking about think Metcalf and should they go get him? 161 00:07:33,468 --> 00:07:35,748 Speaker 1: And they have the capital to do it. Mclaurin's interesting. 162 00:07:36,028 --> 00:07:37,748 Speaker 1: So with what they got, they got those two picks, 163 00:07:37,748 --> 00:07:38,988 Speaker 1: what do you just off top of your herd, what 164 00:07:39,028 --> 00:07:40,308 Speaker 1: do you think it would take to get Terry McLaren 165 00:07:40,308 --> 00:07:42,508 Speaker 1: from Washington one of those picks, the twenty eight. Well, 166 00:07:42,548 --> 00:07:44,548 Speaker 1: I think that's fair to offer, and if you're and 167 00:07:44,668 --> 00:07:46,468 Speaker 1: if that's if Washington doesn't want to break the bank 168 00:07:46,468 --> 00:07:48,588 Speaker 1: on Terry McLaurin. I think Terry McLaurin is going to 169 00:07:48,628 --> 00:07:51,308 Speaker 1: get that deal by someone. But you know, he goes 170 00:07:51,308 --> 00:07:52,868 Speaker 1: to the final year, he's a third round pick, the 171 00:07:52,908 --> 00:07:55,148 Speaker 1: whole thing. And Terry was also the captain of the team, 172 00:07:55,188 --> 00:07:57,148 Speaker 1: so it's like you're getting a whole other kind of player. 173 00:07:57,308 --> 00:07:59,388 Speaker 1: I would give the twenty second for Terry McLaurin. Put 174 00:07:59,428 --> 00:08:01,588 Speaker 1: it to Twitter. If you were Washington, would you accept 175 00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:04,068 Speaker 1: the twenty second overall pick for Terry McLaurin. But the 176 00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:06,948 Speaker 1: only problem that these teams have been doing something like 177 00:08:06,988 --> 00:08:09,748 Speaker 1: that is it's you give away equity and then you 178 00:08:09,868 --> 00:08:12,188 Speaker 1: have to still pick up their contract and sign them 179 00:08:12,228 --> 00:08:13,988 Speaker 1: to a new deal, and look, a free agent like that, 180 00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:15,908 Speaker 1: it's better to go find a guy in the draft. 181 00:08:16,148 --> 00:08:19,508 Speaker 1: You've got essentially five years with and with Rogers exactly 182 00:08:19,588 --> 00:08:23,228 Speaker 1: two years, and I get it paying them Vante Adams. 183 00:08:23,748 --> 00:08:26,428 Speaker 1: It's true. It's true, all right. There were some developments 184 00:08:26,428 --> 00:08:29,628 Speaker 1: and Brian Flores his lawsuit against the NFL yesterday. Our 185 00:08:29,668 --> 00:08:33,868 Speaker 1: own NFL network insider Ian Rappaport has the latest. On Thursday, 186 00:08:33,908 --> 00:08:37,188 Speaker 1: there was a significant development regarding the class action lawsuit 187 00:08:37,268 --> 00:08:40,188 Speaker 1: filed by former Dobbin's head coach Brian Flores against the 188 00:08:40,268 --> 00:08:43,628 Speaker 1: NFL and several of its teams, alleging racial discrimination in 189 00:08:43,708 --> 00:08:47,468 Speaker 1: its hiring practices. Most notably, two new plaintiffs have now 190 00:08:47,548 --> 00:08:51,708 Speaker 1: joined the lawsuit, which the amended version totals one hundred pages. 191 00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:55,948 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes and Ray Horton have now joined the cause 192 00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:59,668 Speaker 1: along with Brian Flores. As far as Wilkes's allegations go, 193 00:09:00,148 --> 00:09:03,228 Speaker 1: in this lawsuit, he determined that he would discriminated against, 194 00:09:03,228 --> 00:09:06,628 Speaker 1: like he says, may any black coach's face in the NFL. 195 00:09:06,708 --> 00:09:10,308 Speaker 1: He describes himself as a bridge coach with no chance 196 00:09:10,348 --> 00:09:14,308 Speaker 1: to succeed. By contrast, take a letting situation surrounding his 197 00:09:14,508 --> 00:09:17,668 Speaker 1: former boss Steve Kahn, who's found guilty of a DUI, 198 00:09:18,228 --> 00:09:21,948 Speaker 1: was not fired and instead got a raise. As far 199 00:09:21,988 --> 00:09:25,668 Speaker 1: as the case surrounding Ray Hordon, he alleged that his 200 00:09:25,868 --> 00:09:28,428 Speaker 1: interview for the Tennessee Titans head coaching job in twenty 201 00:09:28,748 --> 00:09:32,308 Speaker 1: sixteen was actually a sham interview. Don't just take his 202 00:09:32,388 --> 00:09:35,148 Speaker 1: word for it. Mike Mularkey, who ended up being the 203 00:09:35,148 --> 00:09:38,028 Speaker 1: head coach of that team, also called it a sham 204 00:09:38,108 --> 00:09:41,228 Speaker 1: interview in a recent podcast, saying he knew he was 205 00:09:41,268 --> 00:09:44,348 Speaker 1: getting the job, they had to interview Ray Hordon. He 206 00:09:44,548 --> 00:09:47,788 Speaker 1: participated in this, and it is one of Malarkey's biggest 207 00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:50,508 Speaker 1: regrets in the NFL, letting the Titans go through that 208 00:09:50,588 --> 00:09:53,988 Speaker 1: process knowing he was going to get the job. And finally, 209 00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:58,588 Speaker 1: Brian Flores adds to his own lawsuit saying that he 210 00:09:58,668 --> 00:10:01,468 Speaker 1: actually has a memo that he wrote in twenty nineteen 211 00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:05,268 Speaker 1: right after the meeting that allegedly who did owner Stephen 212 00:10:05,348 --> 00:10:09,388 Speaker 1: Ross trying to incentivise them to tank during that season 213 00:10:09,468 --> 00:10:12,268 Speaker 1: to get the number one overall selection. So all in all, 214 00:10:12,348 --> 00:10:16,588 Speaker 1: Thursday a very big day for this lawsuit. All right, 215 00:10:16,628 --> 00:10:19,668 Speaker 1: thank you, Anne Well. The Cardinals issued this statement saying, quote, 216 00:10:19,748 --> 00:10:22,428 Speaker 1: the decisions we made after the twenty eighteenth season were 217 00:10:22,548 --> 00:10:25,028 Speaker 1: very difficult ones, but as we said at the time 218 00:10:25,148 --> 00:10:28,148 Speaker 1: they were entirely driven by what was in the best 219 00:10:28,228 --> 00:10:31,948 Speaker 1: interest of our organization and necessary for team improvement. We 220 00:10:32,068 --> 00:10:35,348 Speaker 1: are confident that the facts reflect that and demonstrate that 221 00:10:35,428 --> 00:10:39,428 Speaker 1: these allegations are untrue. Meanwhile, the Texans also made a 222 00:10:39,468 --> 00:10:41,308 Speaker 1: statement from the Houston Texans, the search for our head 223 00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,868 Speaker 1: coach was very thorough and inclusive. We enjoyed our multiple 224 00:10:43,868 --> 00:10:47,068 Speaker 1: conversations with Brian regarded his vision for our organization, which 225 00:10:47,068 --> 00:10:49,668 Speaker 1: included an in person meeting with the McNair family and 226 00:10:49,868 --> 00:10:52,508 Speaker 1: GM Nick Kasserio. In the end, we made the decision 227 00:10:52,468 --> 00:10:54,028 Speaker 1: to hire Levy Smith as a head coach, and we 228 00:10:54,068 --> 00:10:56,468 Speaker 1: believe he is the best fit for our team moving forward. 229 00:10:56,628 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 1: We are proud of our decision and will vigorously defend 230 00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:02,668 Speaker 1: our process. Finally, the Titans also released his statement and 231 00:11:02,668 --> 00:11:05,308 Speaker 1: they said this our twenty sixteen head coach search was 232 00:11:05,348 --> 00:11:08,228 Speaker 1: a thoughtful and competitive process, fully in keeping with the 233 00:11:08,308 --> 00:11:12,388 Speaker 1: NFL guidelines and our own organizational values. We conducted detailed 234 00:11:12,468 --> 00:11:15,868 Speaker 1: in person interviews with four talented individuals, two of whom 235 00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:19,268 Speaker 1: were diverse candidates. No decision was made, and no decision 236 00:11:19,308 --> 00:11:22,668 Speaker 1: was communicated prior to the completion of all of those interviews. 237 00:11:24,628 --> 00:11:26,588 Speaker 1: All right, as you saw last week when richel Banda, 238 00:11:26,628 --> 00:11:28,628 Speaker 1: Shawn O'Hara, we're here, we got to do this very interesting, 239 00:11:28,748 --> 00:11:31,708 Speaker 1: very puzzling discussion about who's really the fourth best team 240 00:11:31,788 --> 00:11:33,348 Speaker 1: the NFC. You know, you got the Rams and the 241 00:11:33,388 --> 00:11:35,308 Speaker 1: Bucks and then the Packers kind of get that respectas 242 00:11:35,348 --> 00:11:37,388 Speaker 1: of Rogers. But which team would you stake your life 243 00:11:37,428 --> 00:11:39,948 Speaker 1: on to make it to the NFC title game next year? 244 00:11:40,068 --> 00:11:44,228 Speaker 1: AFC loaded NFC, So sign to figure out which NFC 245 00:11:44,348 --> 00:11:47,028 Speaker 1: teams we're most confident. This is called first draft. We're 246 00:11:47,028 --> 00:11:49,668 Speaker 1: getting into it now. It's draft season. You settle everything 247 00:11:49,668 --> 00:11:51,548 Speaker 1: with the draft. Heres, what's gonna happen right now? We 248 00:11:51,628 --> 00:11:53,508 Speaker 1: are going to do at the table a four round 249 00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:56,428 Speaker 1: draft of teams in the NFC. There's sixteen of them, 250 00:11:56,428 --> 00:11:58,828 Speaker 1: all right, we have fifteen seconds to make a pick 251 00:11:58,868 --> 00:12:01,148 Speaker 1: and all the teams for grabs. What we're drafting on 252 00:12:01,348 --> 00:12:04,228 Speaker 1: is saying, I believe most confidently that this team I'm 253 00:12:04,268 --> 00:12:06,948 Speaker 1: about to select we'll make it to the NFC title 254 00:12:06,988 --> 00:12:10,108 Speaker 1: game this next season. All right, So I'm gonna go first, 255 00:12:10,388 --> 00:12:12,548 Speaker 1: and then we'll snake back around. Everyone will have an eat. 256 00:12:13,668 --> 00:12:15,828 Speaker 1: That's right, we'll snake. So here we go to the 257 00:12:15,908 --> 00:12:18,268 Speaker 1: title game, and you should have heard Slater's commentary and 258 00:12:18,308 --> 00:12:20,628 Speaker 1: the commercial break about the NFC. I'll keep that confidential, 259 00:12:20,628 --> 00:12:22,868 Speaker 1: but that's the fun of the segments. Ro It's rough. 260 00:12:23,028 --> 00:12:27,108 Speaker 1: It's really rough. So first pick of the twenty twenty 261 00:12:27,108 --> 00:12:28,988 Speaker 1: two who's gonna go to the NC Title Game Draft? 262 00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:31,308 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep this nice and simple. I'm gonna go 263 00:12:31,388 --> 00:12:34,108 Speaker 1: with the Los Angeles Rams. I'm gonna do it. Um. 264 00:12:34,228 --> 00:12:38,428 Speaker 1: They brought everybody back more or less all on Robinson, McVeigh, Stafford. 265 00:12:38,828 --> 00:12:40,908 Speaker 1: This is the easy pick right now. This is Trevor 266 00:12:40,988 --> 00:12:43,188 Speaker 1: Lawrence last year for the Jags. I take the Rams. 267 00:12:43,468 --> 00:12:45,828 Speaker 1: Rams are off the board, Jane, you are on the 268 00:12:45,868 --> 00:12:50,308 Speaker 1: clock at least surprising picks. I take the Cowboys. Oh 269 00:12:50,348 --> 00:12:52,788 Speaker 1: my gosh, wait too, hold on, Jane, I used to second, 270 00:12:52,988 --> 00:12:54,948 Speaker 1: don't make a mockery of this segment. When I'm looking 271 00:12:54,988 --> 00:12:58,548 Speaker 1: at the NFC and they may not have Ready Gregory, 272 00:12:58,588 --> 00:13:00,348 Speaker 1: they may not have a Maury Cooper, but I have 273 00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:01,788 Speaker 1: no reason to believe they're not going to get a 274 00:13:01,788 --> 00:13:05,068 Speaker 1: wide receiver through the draft. They're gonna upgrade their offensive line, 275 00:13:05,108 --> 00:13:07,628 Speaker 1: and I saw what Dan Quinn did with that defense 276 00:13:07,708 --> 00:13:09,908 Speaker 1: last year. Give him another year, and I think Mike 277 00:13:09,988 --> 00:13:12,068 Speaker 1: McCarthy and all those guys have got a really hot seat, 278 00:13:12,148 --> 00:13:15,268 Speaker 1: more than the Bucks, more than Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All Right, 279 00:13:15,348 --> 00:13:19,228 Speaker 1: Jay a shocking pick. I don't know how he's coming back. Okaymazing, 280 00:13:19,348 --> 00:13:23,228 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys drop so sprinting to the podium, sprinting to 281 00:13:23,348 --> 00:13:28,268 Speaker 1: select the Tampa Baby. Okay, Sampa Bay off the board. Peter, 282 00:13:28,548 --> 00:13:31,028 Speaker 1: give me Keny, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Baby. I'll 283 00:13:31,028 --> 00:13:34,948 Speaker 1: take them. Okay, and Peter, you get to double dip here. 284 00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:36,508 Speaker 1: There are several you might want to take over there, 285 00:13:36,548 --> 00:13:38,028 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take a team that only won eight 286 00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:41,548 Speaker 1: games last year. I believe the fifth best team in 287 00:13:41,588 --> 00:13:45,308 Speaker 1: the NFC is the Minnesota Viking. Heiter a little bit, 288 00:13:45,508 --> 00:13:47,428 Speaker 1: a little bit. I love the Kevin O'Connell hire. I 289 00:13:47,428 --> 00:13:49,908 Speaker 1: think they needed fresh new blood. And I think they 290 00:13:49,948 --> 00:13:51,988 Speaker 1: still have a quarterback who looking at all the rest 291 00:13:52,028 --> 00:13:54,028 Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks. Something, This thing can sling the rock. 292 00:13:54,108 --> 00:13:56,868 Speaker 1: Give me Kirk Cousins something everyone's always said. Now, Dan, say, 293 00:13:56,948 --> 00:13:59,468 Speaker 1: were you saying you were about to take the Vikings? 294 00:13:59,668 --> 00:14:02,148 Speaker 1: Who do you got for this? San Francisco? San Francisco 295 00:14:02,748 --> 00:14:06,028 Speaker 1: with Trey Lance right to the title game off. It's 296 00:14:06,028 --> 00:14:08,548 Speaker 1: not tres but if they have game changes, that's it, 297 00:14:08,828 --> 00:14:11,948 Speaker 1: all right, Jane, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get wild. Okay, 298 00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:15,308 Speaker 1: give me the Giants and Brian Dabelt New York Giants, 299 00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:20,428 Speaker 1: all right, so weak, Okay, I'm gonna go right now. 300 00:14:20,468 --> 00:14:22,308 Speaker 1: And there's some there's some low hanging fruit that I 301 00:14:22,348 --> 00:14:23,988 Speaker 1: do not want to pick. But I'm gonna just look 302 00:14:24,028 --> 00:14:25,908 Speaker 1: like I have two picks now. First of all, I'm 303 00:14:25,908 --> 00:14:28,948 Speaker 1: gonna take last year's playoff team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, 304 00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,508 Speaker 1: postseason with a first year head coach. We'll see what 305 00:14:31,548 --> 00:14:32,788 Speaker 1: they do in the draft, but they got all kinds 306 00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:35,588 Speaker 1: of capital. I'm gonna take the Eagles. I feel really 307 00:14:35,668 --> 00:14:37,708 Speaker 1: good about my pick so far. I have rams Eagles, 308 00:14:37,748 --> 00:14:39,628 Speaker 1: and now I get to double them. You know, the 309 00:14:39,668 --> 00:14:43,508 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are sitting there, and I just it's tough 310 00:14:43,628 --> 00:14:45,308 Speaker 1: to get the taste out of my mouth from that 311 00:14:45,308 --> 00:14:47,628 Speaker 1: thing last year. But then am I gonna go Jameis Winston? No, 312 00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:50,268 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Cardinals. I don't love that pick, 313 00:14:50,308 --> 00:14:53,188 Speaker 1: but I ran up against the buzzer. Uh, mister kime, 314 00:14:53,188 --> 00:14:56,228 Speaker 1: mister Kingsbury. Make me look good, Jane, I'm back, I'm 315 00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:59,668 Speaker 1: the clock. I'm going to Saints here. Saints, Okay, Dante 316 00:14:59,708 --> 00:15:01,828 Speaker 1: wanted them all right, Jane, that's a good fill close it. 317 00:15:01,948 --> 00:15:04,108 Speaker 1: They got last year or squeaking of the playoffs, going 318 00:15:04,148 --> 00:15:07,708 Speaker 1: through four different quarterbacks. They had issues with their running 319 00:15:07,708 --> 00:15:10,708 Speaker 1: back even defense. I think, especially if they got Tyron 320 00:15:10,708 --> 00:15:13,068 Speaker 1: Matthew this offseason, that could really put them over the edge. 321 00:15:13,068 --> 00:15:17,668 Speaker 1: So I got Saints, okay, Nante ha nitty grinny now yeah, um, 322 00:15:18,148 --> 00:15:20,988 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Washington Commanders. I think Carson 323 00:15:21,068 --> 00:15:23,308 Speaker 1: witz makes a difference with that football team. They had 324 00:15:23,308 --> 00:15:25,628 Speaker 1: a decent defense early in the season, and I just 325 00:15:25,668 --> 00:15:29,068 Speaker 1: think the frustration of not having a guy quarterback cost him. 326 00:15:29,108 --> 00:15:32,428 Speaker 1: Carson witzon makes a difference an hour down to the 327 00:15:32,468 --> 00:15:35,188 Speaker 1: slim pickings portion here. And if you're an NFL coach 328 00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,868 Speaker 1: or GM, I'm sorry, I'm just looking at the records 329 00:15:36,868 --> 00:15:39,628 Speaker 1: from last year. We're looking at Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago, Carolina 330 00:15:39,628 --> 00:15:42,788 Speaker 1: and Detroit title game. Give me the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons 331 00:15:42,948 --> 00:15:46,148 Speaker 1: Art Smith, who's Mario? Mario is not a rookie. I 332 00:15:46,188 --> 00:15:48,668 Speaker 1: don't think a rookie, Okay, and then give me the 333 00:15:48,708 --> 00:15:54,348 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I'm the strength of the strength of culture 334 00:15:54,748 --> 00:15:58,148 Speaker 1: and Campbell. And let's if the Babels did it last year. 335 00:15:58,668 --> 00:16:00,388 Speaker 1: Let's yo. They don't have Joe Burrow, they don't have 336 00:16:00,428 --> 00:16:03,268 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase said, if anyone I don't think your last pick. 337 00:16:03,468 --> 00:16:07,068 Speaker 1: We have three teams remaining. We have the Seahawks, the Bears, 338 00:16:07,388 --> 00:16:10,588 Speaker 1: and the Carolina Panthers. Which one would you like? Seahawks 339 00:16:10,668 --> 00:16:14,948 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. The Seahawks are off the board. I tend 340 00:16:15,028 --> 00:16:17,108 Speaker 1: to lean on the coaches and my confidence in them, 341 00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:20,668 Speaker 1: so Eberflus in the Bears. Eber I wanted the Bears, 342 00:16:20,788 --> 00:16:24,588 Speaker 1: which means all right, Plus you got untapped Justin Field's 343 00:16:24,628 --> 00:16:29,548 Speaker 1: second year, big strong athlete, which means by default the 344 00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:33,828 Speaker 1: messieurs and messieurs Mademoiselle's irrelevance of our draft will be 345 00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:37,308 Speaker 1: the Caroline Synths. The last started off three and o 346 00:16:37,468 --> 00:16:42,228 Speaker 1: last year. McCaffrey defense, Salnge Jerseys. This team was taken 347 00:16:42,388 --> 00:16:46,468 Speaker 1: behind the Lions, way behind the Giants behind and there 348 00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:49,748 Speaker 1: is our squad, Peace Drakes. What do you think? This 349 00:16:49,828 --> 00:16:52,748 Speaker 1: is a fascinating study. I would I would challenge every 350 00:16:52,788 --> 00:16:55,348 Speaker 1: group of friends who have four people. I don't try 351 00:16:55,388 --> 00:16:58,748 Speaker 1: to do this and you'll find a different combination. Jane, 352 00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:01,268 Speaker 1: it was not the Cowboys, there was the Giants. Blew 353 00:17:01,308 --> 00:17:02,988 Speaker 1: me away, and I love that about Joe Way to 354 00:17:02,988 --> 00:17:05,468 Speaker 1: go on a limb. Where are we going next? Where 355 00:17:05,468 --> 00:17:07,828 Speaker 1: could we possibly be going? It's fun. So as Jimmy 356 00:17:07,868 --> 00:17:11,068 Speaker 1: g still a forty nine er and now superstar receiver 357 00:17:11,148 --> 00:17:25,468 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, he's in follow the team's up that It's 358 00:17:25,508 --> 00:17:28,028 Speaker 1: been quite the off season for the forty nine Ers. 359 00:17:28,068 --> 00:17:31,508 Speaker 1: It began with Jimmy Garoppolo's future in doubt with the organization, 360 00:17:31,668 --> 00:17:33,708 Speaker 1: and here we are now in April and he's still 361 00:17:33,708 --> 00:17:37,268 Speaker 1: on the roster. Now, Deebo Samuel has changed his Instagram 362 00:17:37,308 --> 00:17:40,548 Speaker 1: profile picture to a black circle. It's no longer him 363 00:17:40,548 --> 00:17:43,428 Speaker 1: in a Niners jersey, scrubbed some of his posts and 364 00:17:43,628 --> 00:17:46,988 Speaker 1: unfollowed the forty nine Ers Harry Taylor Swift. Maybe it's 365 00:17:46,988 --> 00:17:50,028 Speaker 1: a rebrand, guys, but San Francisco is coming off. In 366 00:17:50,108 --> 00:17:53,228 Speaker 1: ten and seventh season reached the NFC Championship Game before 367 00:17:53,308 --> 00:17:56,108 Speaker 1: ultimately falling to the Rams, and last year's number three 368 00:17:56,148 --> 00:17:59,188 Speaker 1: overall pick Trey Lance is believed to be the future. 369 00:17:59,308 --> 00:18:01,588 Speaker 1: So what's the biggest issue the forty nine ers need 370 00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:04,548 Speaker 1: to address? First? Guys, is it Jimmy Garoppolo stat to 371 00:18:04,548 --> 00:18:08,908 Speaker 1: the organization or Deebo Samuel's contract situation? Peter your thoughts. 372 00:18:08,948 --> 00:18:10,948 Speaker 1: I think it might be a little bit of a 373 00:18:11,228 --> 00:18:14,668 Speaker 1: leads to be because Jimmy Garoppolo on the books right 374 00:18:14,708 --> 00:18:17,188 Speaker 1: now is costing them twenty five million dollars. If you 375 00:18:17,268 --> 00:18:19,668 Speaker 1: were able to get that twenty five million dollars off 376 00:18:19,668 --> 00:18:22,148 Speaker 1: the books, that's twenty five million dollars you could potentially 377 00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:25,028 Speaker 1: spend on Deebo Samuel. And I'll go back to the 378 00:18:25,348 --> 00:18:28,148 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray situation that we had at the combine, where 379 00:18:28,148 --> 00:18:30,828 Speaker 1: it's like pay me now or else, and the Niners 380 00:18:30,868 --> 00:18:33,868 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals were like or else, like or else? 381 00:18:33,948 --> 00:18:37,748 Speaker 1: What Deebo Samuel if he's upset, we don't know for sure, 382 00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:40,348 Speaker 1: but we do know he's scrumbling, like why should it 383 00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:42,708 Speaker 1: be now on your time when there's other things that 384 00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:46,908 Speaker 1: they've got going on, like the draft, like like Jimmy's contract. 385 00:18:47,068 --> 00:18:50,148 Speaker 1: And also, quite frankly, Debo was the entire offense at 386 00:18:50,228 --> 00:18:52,748 Speaker 1: point flash here, but I would argue that Nick Bosa 387 00:18:52,908 --> 00:18:54,748 Speaker 1: might be the more valuable player on that team, and 388 00:18:54,788 --> 00:18:56,988 Speaker 1: he might want to get his money too. So there 389 00:18:56,988 --> 00:18:59,348 Speaker 1: are a lot of things to handle, and the Niners 390 00:18:59,348 --> 00:19:01,468 Speaker 1: are not historically a team that just gives out their money. 391 00:19:01,468 --> 00:19:03,788 Speaker 1: You gotta earn it, and you've got to wait your turn. 392 00:19:03,868 --> 00:19:06,788 Speaker 1: The last who offseason, they've had stars on their team, 393 00:19:07,108 --> 00:19:08,828 Speaker 1: and take a look at the timing of when they 394 00:19:08,868 --> 00:19:11,868 Speaker 1: got their extensions. It wasn't in March, it wasn't in April. 395 00:19:12,028 --> 00:19:16,388 Speaker 1: George Kittle and Fred Warner in consecutive years. Fred Warner 396 00:19:16,468 --> 00:19:22,028 Speaker 1: last year didn't get paid until July. George Kittle he 397 00:19:22,068 --> 00:19:25,748 Speaker 1: didn't get paid until August training care So when you've 398 00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:28,988 Speaker 1: got Kittle, who was coming off the Super Bowl, not 399 00:19:28,988 --> 00:19:31,548 Speaker 1: getting paid until August, and Fred Warner, who's in the 400 00:19:31,548 --> 00:19:33,668 Speaker 1: competition for Defensive Player of the Year, not getting it 401 00:19:33,788 --> 00:19:36,348 Speaker 1: till July, it's hard for you to then say, yeah, 402 00:19:36,348 --> 00:19:38,548 Speaker 1: but Debo in his final year, we got to get 403 00:19:38,548 --> 00:19:42,388 Speaker 1: it done in February or March. I would just preach patience. Obviously, 404 00:19:42,508 --> 00:19:45,188 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers know how important Deebo Samuel is 405 00:19:45,188 --> 00:19:47,428 Speaker 1: to this team. When the games mattered most, he was 406 00:19:47,468 --> 00:19:48,748 Speaker 1: the guy I thought he was right up there with 407 00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:50,508 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup for offensive Player of the Year when this 408 00:19:50,508 --> 00:19:52,188 Speaker 1: thing was all said and done. But if Kittle had 409 00:19:52,188 --> 00:19:54,108 Speaker 1: to wait, and Warner had to wait, and Trent Williams 410 00:19:54,148 --> 00:19:55,988 Speaker 1: had to wait, and youth Check had to wait, and 411 00:19:56,108 --> 00:19:58,228 Speaker 1: Nick Bose is waiting now, like, I don't know to 412 00:19:58,228 --> 00:19:59,628 Speaker 1: tell you, I don't know if you have to rush 413 00:19:59,668 --> 00:20:01,748 Speaker 1: to pay Deebo Samuel. They do a thing, They've got 414 00:20:01,748 --> 00:20:03,428 Speaker 1: a process and you kind of have to be Patient's 415 00:20:03,428 --> 00:20:05,668 Speaker 1: pretty good to be a Niner, especial your Deebo Samuel 416 00:20:05,708 --> 00:20:08,508 Speaker 1: and how they utilized him the last couple of years, Well, 417 00:20:08,588 --> 00:20:11,428 Speaker 1: said Peter, all of that is very true. But this 418 00:20:11,508 --> 00:20:14,748 Speaker 1: is a big deal that he scratched his Instagram account 419 00:20:14,748 --> 00:20:17,348 Speaker 1: when Tyreek Hill made a decision and the Chiefs made 420 00:20:17,348 --> 00:20:19,508 Speaker 1: a decision to trade him to the Miami Dolphins a 421 00:20:19,548 --> 00:20:21,388 Speaker 1: week and a half or so prior, I had a 422 00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:24,148 Speaker 1: bunch of people from Kansas City reaching out to me, Hey, 423 00:20:24,188 --> 00:20:26,788 Speaker 1: what's up with this tweet that Tyreek he was thinking 424 00:20:26,868 --> 00:20:30,308 Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom, basically insinuating that he was gone. This was 425 00:20:30,348 --> 00:20:31,908 Speaker 1: a week and a half before the news broke. So 426 00:20:31,948 --> 00:20:34,588 Speaker 1: when these guys, especially this dayna is on social media, 427 00:20:34,708 --> 00:20:37,108 Speaker 1: do something on social that's sending a message, and I 428 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,268 Speaker 1: think this message to the forty nine is is hey, 429 00:20:39,348 --> 00:20:41,708 Speaker 1: christ the Kirk got paid, Fante got paid, all its 430 00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:44,628 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs has got paid. I want to get paid. Sure. 431 00:20:44,748 --> 00:20:47,508 Speaker 1: The process for the forty nineers has always been to wait, 432 00:20:47,668 --> 00:20:50,068 Speaker 1: you'll get paid later in the offseason whatever. But if 433 00:20:50,108 --> 00:20:53,028 Speaker 1: I'm Deebo Samuels and I'm looking at all of these 434 00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:56,828 Speaker 1: guys get paid historical amounts, I want my money right now. 435 00:20:56,948 --> 00:20:58,548 Speaker 1: I want it now. I don't want it in August. 436 00:20:58,588 --> 00:21:01,468 Speaker 1: So because negotiations are not going well. But to answer 437 00:21:01,508 --> 00:21:03,468 Speaker 1: the question the most pressing need, I think it's to 438 00:21:03,548 --> 00:21:06,188 Speaker 1: sign Nick. So I would agree with that. You ever 439 00:21:06,228 --> 00:21:07,708 Speaker 1: have one of these things when you get a little 440 00:21:07,748 --> 00:21:09,588 Speaker 1: older and you're seeing this thing that younger people are 441 00:21:09,628 --> 00:21:11,468 Speaker 1: doing that you're like, I know this isn't going anywhere, 442 00:21:11,468 --> 00:21:13,148 Speaker 1: and I detest it, but I got to warm up 443 00:21:13,148 --> 00:21:14,948 Speaker 1: to it because I know it's relevant. The social media 444 00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:17,548 Speaker 1: scrub drives me crazy, and I know it's it's the 445 00:21:17,548 --> 00:21:19,908 Speaker 1: shot across the bout and it's the de facto move, 446 00:21:20,068 --> 00:21:22,468 Speaker 1: and Kyler did it and Debo's doing it and it 447 00:21:22,508 --> 00:21:24,628 Speaker 1: gets everybody's attention. It just reminds me of like the 448 00:21:24,668 --> 00:21:26,948 Speaker 1: early days of Facebook, when you follow someone and all 449 00:21:26,988 --> 00:21:28,868 Speaker 1: they would post it's just a frowny face and just 450 00:21:28,908 --> 00:21:30,828 Speaker 1: so everyone will flock around them and say, what's wrong, 451 00:21:30,828 --> 00:21:33,868 Speaker 1: what's wrong? Yeah, yeah, Like it's just it drives me crazy. 452 00:21:33,948 --> 00:21:35,788 Speaker 1: It's it's you know, it's like someone taking their singing 453 00:21:35,788 --> 00:21:37,948 Speaker 1: for another's clothes and throwing them out the front window 454 00:21:37,988 --> 00:21:40,668 Speaker 1: on the front hosting a dashboard confessional song, just the 455 00:21:40,748 --> 00:21:46,428 Speaker 1: lyric song. It's very irritating to me. However, the Niners 456 00:21:46,428 --> 00:21:48,228 Speaker 1: get the attention of it and you just delete them. 457 00:21:48,268 --> 00:21:50,148 Speaker 1: And I understand why he's doing it. I didn't like him, 458 00:21:50,188 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 1: Kylie did it, so I have to be fair and 459 00:21:51,348 --> 00:21:53,508 Speaker 1: do it. The Debo, I think Debo's deal is like 460 00:21:53,548 --> 00:21:56,868 Speaker 1: I am just mister Leveridge right now now my stock 461 00:21:56,988 --> 00:21:58,668 Speaker 1: is never going to be higher. We have thirty one 462 00:21:58,708 --> 00:22:01,588 Speaker 1: other teams who are sitting around having meetings about how 463 00:22:01,628 --> 00:22:04,828 Speaker 1: can we find our Debo? Like that's the talk right 464 00:22:04,828 --> 00:22:07,028 Speaker 1: now in the league, that's the talk in the draft. 465 00:22:07,308 --> 00:22:09,708 Speaker 1: So if you are Debo, you're saying, like, due respect 466 00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:12,668 Speaker 1: to Fred warrener some linebacker, I'm Debo. No one is 467 00:22:12,668 --> 00:22:14,468 Speaker 1: going around the league saying, well, how can I get 468 00:22:14,508 --> 00:22:17,868 Speaker 1: that linebacker. I'm the guy, so I don't want to wait. 469 00:22:18,108 --> 00:22:20,268 Speaker 1: I don't want to sit around and be patient. I 470 00:22:20,268 --> 00:22:22,308 Speaker 1: don't care what the Niner way is. I'm a superstar. 471 00:22:22,308 --> 00:22:23,788 Speaker 1: I le gonna say something else if you're gonna go 472 00:22:23,828 --> 00:22:26,468 Speaker 1: to battle with Trey Lance, like you need me more 473 00:22:26,468 --> 00:22:28,908 Speaker 1: than you need Nick Bosa. All right, I love Nick, 474 00:22:29,028 --> 00:22:32,148 Speaker 1: but I'm more important. I don't like the social media scrub. 475 00:22:32,188 --> 00:22:34,508 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of rude, dear employer, and it's 476 00:22:34,548 --> 00:22:37,028 Speaker 1: just like this quick attention grab. But I think it's effective. 477 00:22:37,108 --> 00:22:39,108 Speaker 1: And I think he has all the leverage, not only 478 00:22:39,228 --> 00:22:41,228 Speaker 1: most of the Niners. He's got like top five in 479 00:22:41,268 --> 00:22:43,668 Speaker 1: the league leverage right now. And I do not think 480 00:22:43,668 --> 00:22:45,948 Speaker 1: the Niners will make them wait that long. No not 481 00:22:45,988 --> 00:22:48,828 Speaker 1: having insight or talking to John or Kare Kyle. I 482 00:22:48,908 --> 00:22:50,708 Speaker 1: just I'm watching this play out, and I think you'll 483 00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:52,468 Speaker 1: have a deal before long. I'm with you, Kyle, But 484 00:22:52,508 --> 00:22:54,908 Speaker 1: I'm also equally guilty of it, right Like when things 485 00:22:55,028 --> 00:22:58,228 Speaker 1: aren't going well and you guys haven't dated in this era. 486 00:22:58,428 --> 00:23:02,388 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Jaye tell us. A guilty of wings are 487 00:23:02,428 --> 00:23:04,348 Speaker 1: not when I'm not feeling like I'm getting the commitment 488 00:23:04,388 --> 00:23:07,068 Speaker 1: at level that I deserve that. I will scrub the 489 00:23:07,108 --> 00:23:09,188 Speaker 1: media now I've learned an archive and bring it all back. 490 00:23:09,628 --> 00:23:12,548 Speaker 1: But it is so childish and it hurts relationships. So 491 00:23:12,748 --> 00:23:15,668 Speaker 1: Debo and I said this to Kyler, don't do it. 492 00:23:15,748 --> 00:23:18,468 Speaker 1: I've learned not to do it. It's it's childish, it's 493 00:23:18,508 --> 00:23:20,948 Speaker 1: acting out. But in the off season, we don't have 494 00:23:20,988 --> 00:23:23,588 Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. As it relates to NFL news, 495 00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:27,588 Speaker 1: you do something like this, and now every single website 496 00:23:27,668 --> 00:23:30,308 Speaker 1: is aggregating the content and we're talking about it on 497 00:23:30,348 --> 00:23:32,388 Speaker 1: this show. And then what we're doing is we're talking 498 00:23:32,428 --> 00:23:34,628 Speaker 1: about the merits of signing that guide your show. So 499 00:23:34,708 --> 00:23:37,708 Speaker 1: we are in fact acting as de facto agents for 500 00:23:37,748 --> 00:23:40,868 Speaker 1: this player and we're helping them gauge their interest in 501 00:23:40,908 --> 00:23:45,028 Speaker 1: their importance to their organization. I would also submit that 502 00:23:45,148 --> 00:23:47,308 Speaker 1: it's better for these teams to get a deal done 503 00:23:47,308 --> 00:23:50,548 Speaker 1: with these guys sooner rather than later, right yeah, because 504 00:23:50,588 --> 00:23:52,668 Speaker 1: if the further you go along, it's the further you're 505 00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:55,628 Speaker 1: risking of having losing leather age and that he's actually 506 00:23:55,628 --> 00:23:57,068 Speaker 1: going to miss time in the season because he might 507 00:23:57,068 --> 00:23:58,828 Speaker 1: deal with a hold out and the salary caps only 508 00:23:58,828 --> 00:24:00,988 Speaker 1: going to go up, up, up in the future years. 509 00:24:01,028 --> 00:24:02,988 Speaker 1: So like, take care of Debo now. If you have 510 00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:06,028 Speaker 1: it in the old days, like five years ago, you 511 00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:08,788 Speaker 1: would leave something to a local beat reporter. You would 512 00:24:08,788 --> 00:24:11,868 Speaker 1: put a press release out. You would find some reporter 513 00:24:11,948 --> 00:24:13,588 Speaker 1: on one of these blogs. There's anything to be like, 514 00:24:13,708 --> 00:24:15,428 Speaker 1: can you write a puff piece about how good Deebo 515 00:24:15,468 --> 00:24:18,108 Speaker 1: samuels and here the message points, here's why you should 516 00:24:18,148 --> 00:24:19,988 Speaker 1: pay Deebo Samuel, and here are all the other teams. 517 00:24:19,988 --> 00:24:22,788 Speaker 1: That doesn't still go on, Peter, It does to a point, 518 00:24:22,948 --> 00:24:25,948 Speaker 1: like but the most part it's now these players have Instagram, 519 00:24:25,988 --> 00:24:29,508 Speaker 1: they have control where by even the leading images, you 520 00:24:29,548 --> 00:24:32,388 Speaker 1: can now say, hey, there's something right now, we're gonna 521 00:24:32,388 --> 00:24:34,548 Speaker 1: talk about it. Peter, Is this not so simple? You've 522 00:24:34,588 --> 00:24:36,228 Speaker 1: you've you've been talking to this for three weeks now. 523 00:24:36,988 --> 00:24:39,148 Speaker 1: Jimmy's got all this money. They don't need Jimmy right now. 524 00:24:39,228 --> 00:24:41,268 Speaker 1: Is it's so simple as we have to trade or 525 00:24:41,348 --> 00:24:43,708 Speaker 1: cut Jimmy and then we pay Debo and Nick, is 526 00:24:43,708 --> 00:24:45,788 Speaker 1: it that clean? Because it's not that clean, but it 527 00:24:45,828 --> 00:24:49,188 Speaker 1: does free up money or they can accelerate those conversations. 528 00:24:49,268 --> 00:24:51,028 Speaker 1: They don't have the money right now to necessarily give 529 00:24:51,068 --> 00:24:55,228 Speaker 1: them one hundred million dollars because they're in their backup quarterbacks. Like, 530 00:24:57,468 --> 00:24:59,148 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier if you don't have a twenty 531 00:24:59,148 --> 00:25:02,468 Speaker 1: five million dollar anchor of Jimmy Garoppolo's contract on the books, 532 00:25:02,468 --> 00:25:05,148 Speaker 1: Like they gotta pay Jimmy twenty five mill debo is 533 00:25:05,188 --> 00:25:07,788 Speaker 1: not laking for twenty five million. It just doesn't help 534 00:25:07,948 --> 00:25:11,028 Speaker 1: when you see some of these teams getting deals done 535 00:25:11,348 --> 00:25:13,388 Speaker 1: despite the cap. In other words, if you're a player 536 00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:14,588 Speaker 1: and you feel like you're a marque guy, I can't 537 00:25:14,588 --> 00:25:15,828 Speaker 1: tell you how many people would reach out to me 538 00:25:15,948 --> 00:25:18,468 Speaker 1: during the playoffs and say, see, he's the guy, he's 539 00:25:18,508 --> 00:25:21,028 Speaker 1: their guy. Well, if he's their guy, make an investment 540 00:25:21,068 --> 00:25:23,108 Speaker 1: in that guy. And I don't doubt that, as you 541 00:25:23,148 --> 00:25:25,388 Speaker 1: pointed out there, that they're going to make that investment. 542 00:25:25,428 --> 00:25:27,388 Speaker 1: It's just not now. So I think it's sort of 543 00:25:27,548 --> 00:25:30,588 Speaker 1: premature move on his part. But it's a good, good 544 00:25:30,628 --> 00:25:35,828 Speaker 1: discussion for us this morning. Thanks Tebo. I'm to talk 545 00:25:36,908 --> 00:25:40,988 Speaker 1: a little special teams. So third, as I'm joined by 546 00:25:41,028 --> 00:25:43,028 Speaker 1: one of the greatest to ever do it. This guy 547 00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:46,388 Speaker 1: right here is Dante Hall for Kansas City Chiefs legend 548 00:25:46,428 --> 00:25:48,828 Speaker 1: at two time pro bowler known as the X Factor, 549 00:25:48,908 --> 00:25:50,868 Speaker 1: known as the human joystick, and as a guy when 550 00:25:50,868 --> 00:25:53,028 Speaker 1: I was just starting to cover the league, was viewed 551 00:25:53,068 --> 00:25:56,228 Speaker 1: as the most dangerous return man in the NFL. We're 552 00:25:56,228 --> 00:25:58,468 Speaker 1: gonna do our top three favorites. I'm gonna start off 553 00:25:58,468 --> 00:26:01,188 Speaker 1: with my number three, and it's Brian Mitchell. I thought 554 00:26:01,228 --> 00:26:03,668 Speaker 1: Brian Mitchell was the ultimate gamer, and he did it 555 00:26:03,748 --> 00:26:06,148 Speaker 1: for three day different teams. You might look at him 556 00:26:06,148 --> 00:26:07,948 Speaker 1: as a Washington player, you might look at him as 557 00:26:07,948 --> 00:26:11,148 Speaker 1: an Eagles player, but I know NFC opponents would look 558 00:26:11,188 --> 00:26:13,948 Speaker 1: at him and they would strike fear in their hearts. 559 00:26:13,988 --> 00:26:15,548 Speaker 1: This guy did it all, and we want to talk 560 00:26:15,588 --> 00:26:20,028 Speaker 1: about just the reliability, the consistencies. Put up Hall of 561 00:26:20,028 --> 00:26:22,068 Speaker 1: Fame numbers and take a look at the company. When 562 00:26:22,068 --> 00:26:25,548 Speaker 1: we talk about all times scrimmage yards, Jerry Rice's number 563 00:26:25,588 --> 00:26:28,388 Speaker 1: one in the league's history, just less than three hundred 564 00:26:28,468 --> 00:26:32,988 Speaker 1: yards behind Brian Mitchell. Brian Mitchell doing it for Washington, 565 00:26:33,108 --> 00:26:35,068 Speaker 1: doing it for the Eagles. Loved the way he carried 566 00:26:35,148 --> 00:26:37,348 Speaker 1: himself and loved the way he brought it in the 567 00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:40,188 Speaker 1: biggest games in the NFC East and cold weather when 568 00:26:40,188 --> 00:26:42,948 Speaker 1: they needed him most. Not the flashiest guy, but maybe 569 00:26:42,948 --> 00:26:45,028 Speaker 1: the most durable and the most reliable who's your number. 570 00:26:45,108 --> 00:26:48,108 Speaker 1: That's impressive. Look at the other guy, know my number three. 571 00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:51,628 Speaker 1: We're gonna go with Male Gray. Oh the best, the best. 572 00:26:51,668 --> 00:26:53,428 Speaker 1: I had the pleasure of meeting Male Grant a couple 573 00:26:53,468 --> 00:26:56,268 Speaker 1: of golf tournaments. Really loved the guy. From nineteen ninety 574 00:26:56,308 --> 00:26:58,628 Speaker 1: to ninety six. He led all came. I look at 575 00:26:58,668 --> 00:27:00,228 Speaker 1: him as a lion. I don't remember the time. That's 576 00:27:00,268 --> 00:27:04,188 Speaker 1: when I'm yeah. So he was one of the first 577 00:27:04,188 --> 00:27:07,028 Speaker 1: of little guys to get it done. Here we go. 578 00:27:07,468 --> 00:27:11,268 Speaker 1: He was the demon Hester. He was the guy doing 579 00:27:11,308 --> 00:27:13,628 Speaker 1: his era. And you have the numbers, back it up, 580 00:27:13,708 --> 00:27:16,588 Speaker 1: number two and this is kind of an obvious one. 581 00:27:16,828 --> 00:27:19,828 Speaker 1: I just Dion is mine, like, and I'm talking Falcons, 582 00:27:19,908 --> 00:27:23,508 Speaker 1: Dion on the dirts fall field, the old Fulton County Stadium, 583 00:27:23,628 --> 00:27:26,108 Speaker 1: his legs, Dion. I remember going to a Monday night 584 00:27:26,148 --> 00:27:29,668 Speaker 1: football game Giants versus Cowboys as a fan in the 585 00:27:29,748 --> 00:27:32,868 Speaker 1: late nineties, and this was like Dion's end of the 586 00:27:32,948 --> 00:27:36,668 Speaker 1: Dion Dallas heres and Dion just taking back a kickoff, 587 00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:39,148 Speaker 1: breaking the Giants fans hearts and just doing it because 588 00:27:39,188 --> 00:27:42,588 Speaker 1: that's what Dion did. Um. This is the game right here. Actually, 589 00:27:42,668 --> 00:27:44,908 Speaker 1: this is it unbelievable it's ninety seven. I think here's 590 00:27:44,908 --> 00:27:47,668 Speaker 1: the thing with Dion, greatest corner of all time. Great. 591 00:27:47,788 --> 00:27:50,148 Speaker 1: I could argue he's the greatest return man of all time. 592 00:27:50,588 --> 00:27:52,188 Speaker 1: And when he had the ball, there might be anyone, 593 00:27:52,428 --> 00:27:55,068 Speaker 1: no one who's more electric? Uh Dion? Of course on 594 00:27:55,188 --> 00:27:57,788 Speaker 1: this list, Dante, who's your number two? Well, let me 595 00:27:57,788 --> 00:27:59,428 Speaker 1: just say this about Dion. The thing you just hit 596 00:27:59,468 --> 00:28:01,788 Speaker 1: on it. The thing about Dion senders he would go 597 00:28:02,028 --> 00:28:04,708 Speaker 1: cover your number one guy, and then he even go 598 00:28:04,748 --> 00:28:06,708 Speaker 1: back and take the kick to great point. That's why 599 00:28:06,828 --> 00:28:08,428 Speaker 1: for me he's at the top of the list. If 600 00:28:08,428 --> 00:28:10,508 Speaker 1: it wasn't for deferent esther, he'd be by number one. 601 00:28:10,548 --> 00:28:13,268 Speaker 1: But we're talking about our favorites, and my favorite number 602 00:28:13,268 --> 00:28:16,828 Speaker 1: two is Eric Metcalf. There is other guy that I 603 00:28:16,908 --> 00:28:20,308 Speaker 1: learned about and played with. He probably has the prettiest stride. 604 00:28:20,348 --> 00:28:22,828 Speaker 1: Can I get some Brown Metcalf? Why show it? Don't 605 00:28:22,908 --> 00:28:25,388 Speaker 1: remember him on washing it's a hell of a play 606 00:28:25,788 --> 00:28:29,828 Speaker 1: roll on the Brown Falcons. Falcon if even browns ever 607 00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:31,828 Speaker 1: Metcalf was the bet, Yeah he was. He really was 608 00:28:32,108 --> 00:28:36,788 Speaker 1: a great player though, and he yeah, it's like a ballerina, 609 00:28:36,868 --> 00:28:38,948 Speaker 1: doesn't he look at the flu is just so graceful 610 00:28:38,988 --> 00:28:41,308 Speaker 1: and light on his feet, goes to the Falcons and 611 00:28:41,308 --> 00:28:44,348 Speaker 1: the plays wide receiver, pets a hundred catches in the season. 612 00:28:44,588 --> 00:28:48,468 Speaker 1: That's true. Why this guy that error? He was amazing. 613 00:28:48,708 --> 00:28:51,788 Speaker 1: Eric Metcalf was amazing. I loved him. This guy his 614 00:28:51,908 --> 00:28:53,908 Speaker 1: name Bradley comes up, but look at that the numbers 615 00:28:53,948 --> 00:28:56,108 Speaker 1: back is up. Can I ask this? There's this weird 616 00:28:56,268 --> 00:29:00,188 Speaker 1: debate about his relation to DK Metcalf, which used to 617 00:29:00,228 --> 00:29:02,508 Speaker 1: be a thing that people do for Granted, he has 618 00:29:02,508 --> 00:29:05,348 Speaker 1: come out and said no, we're not We're not blood 619 00:29:05,348 --> 00:29:09,188 Speaker 1: related to him. Yet his uncle is also named Eric, 620 00:29:09,308 --> 00:29:11,268 Speaker 1: like there's a different Eric or something. It's like, we 621 00:29:11,268 --> 00:29:12,708 Speaker 1: did a whole segment on it once, but I do 622 00:29:12,748 --> 00:29:17,588 Speaker 1: not think they're in relationship. Uh. Finally, my favorite returner 623 00:29:17,628 --> 00:29:19,908 Speaker 1: of all time is a no brainer from me? And 624 00:29:20,308 --> 00:29:22,708 Speaker 1: can we roll the Devin Hester highlights? Please be on Bears, 625 00:29:22,708 --> 00:29:27,108 Speaker 1: Please be on Bear. I wanted the Ravens and this 626 00:29:27,228 --> 00:29:29,748 Speaker 1: is this is the Monday night game that he obviously 627 00:29:29,788 --> 00:29:32,028 Speaker 1: had against the Cardinals, one of the all time great 628 00:29:32,068 --> 00:29:35,108 Speaker 1: performances when he's single handedly with earl Acker. They came 629 00:29:35,148 --> 00:29:38,148 Speaker 1: all the way back. Uh, anytime he was on the field, 630 00:29:38,188 --> 00:29:40,708 Speaker 1: I can do a four hours show on Devin Hester, 631 00:29:40,788 --> 00:29:42,868 Speaker 1: and what excitement he brought Super Bowl. First play of 632 00:29:42,908 --> 00:29:44,988 Speaker 1: the game, of course, that's when he became to go. 633 00:29:45,148 --> 00:29:47,068 Speaker 1: That was it. That was it, That was it. And 634 00:29:47,108 --> 00:29:48,828 Speaker 1: he should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer. 635 00:29:48,908 --> 00:29:51,068 Speaker 1: He wasn't. Even he didn't get him in the Hall 636 00:29:51,108 --> 00:29:54,388 Speaker 1: of Fame. He's been on one nomination. Now I can't 637 00:29:54,428 --> 00:29:58,068 Speaker 1: imagine it's gonna go two years. Devin Hester the greatest 638 00:29:58,068 --> 00:29:59,548 Speaker 1: to ever do it, I think, in the history of 639 00:29:59,548 --> 00:30:03,668 Speaker 1: the d and also my favorite story. He's one of 640 00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:06,428 Speaker 1: my favorites. He's definitely the greatest. But I gotta go 641 00:30:06,908 --> 00:30:12,628 Speaker 1: for my favorite. Who's gonna do Billy white shoes? Johnson? Baby? 642 00:30:12,908 --> 00:30:17,228 Speaker 1: I mean this guy was doing Dante Hall. He enjoystick 643 00:30:17,268 --> 00:30:21,188 Speaker 1: things back in the sixties and seventies, and he played 644 00:30:21,228 --> 00:30:25,028 Speaker 1: for so many teams. But what it's one particular return. 645 00:30:25,148 --> 00:30:29,228 Speaker 1: I hope they put up what he goes three sixty 646 00:30:29,388 --> 00:30:33,348 Speaker 1: three times with here it is what we look style. 647 00:30:33,548 --> 00:30:36,348 Speaker 1: But this is the pit of me. Billy white shoes. 648 00:30:37,108 --> 00:30:39,748 Speaker 1: Billy white shoes. Kidding me, it was like a Benny 649 00:30:39,868 --> 00:30:46,868 Speaker 1: Hill commercial. But to have that style and and that 650 00:30:47,028 --> 00:30:50,748 Speaker 1: in those days was just and the celebrations like they 651 00:30:50,748 --> 00:30:52,508 Speaker 1: didn't do that back then. He's one of the first. 652 00:30:52,588 --> 00:30:56,748 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask you about the chicken chicken with 653 00:31:00,108 --> 00:31:06,028 Speaker 1: this split move, I might split my jeans, but anyway, 654 00:31:06,628 --> 00:31:09,308 Speaker 1: Billy white shoes. John, Let's see the list favorite all time. 655 00:31:09,548 --> 00:31:12,948 Speaker 1: Here are favorites, not the best, our favorites. I went 656 00:31:13,068 --> 00:31:15,628 Speaker 1: kind of chalk. You went with kind of nostalgic guys. 657 00:31:15,668 --> 00:31:17,948 Speaker 1: That gosh, when I hear Melgray's name, I think of 658 00:31:17,948 --> 00:31:21,028 Speaker 1: those Barry Sanders Lyons teams. Eric Metcalf, you think of 659 00:31:21,068 --> 00:31:25,508 Speaker 1: those early nineties and late eighties Browns teams. Coolest here 660 00:31:25,628 --> 00:31:27,228 Speaker 1: are you at home? Have somebody if you want to 661 00:31:27,268 --> 00:31:28,948 Speaker 1: get in for Tameric van over you let us know. 662 00:31:29,108 --> 00:31:31,948 Speaker 1: Come on, let's do it. There's our list, all right, Well, Bump, 663 00:31:32,068 --> 00:31:36,748 Speaker 1: we got about Breakupump, gotta get the pretty decent, funky chicken. 664 00:31:37,068 --> 00:31:51,548 Speaker 1: I've thought it was okay. Peter Peter a giant football. 665 00:31:53,228 --> 00:31:55,708 Speaker 1: We are live in New York City and we're exciting 666 00:31:55,708 --> 00:31:58,748 Speaker 1: because the sun's finally out. It's beautiful here. We're talking 667 00:31:58,748 --> 00:32:01,668 Speaker 1: about Friday, April eighth. My name is Jeans Slater alongside 668 00:32:01,668 --> 00:32:05,428 Speaker 1: culprit Peter Schrager two time pro bowler, the X Factor, 669 00:32:05,508 --> 00:32:08,988 Speaker 1: the Joystick, Dante Hall. No, what's going on, Dante. We 670 00:32:09,108 --> 00:32:12,948 Speaker 1: just got a tweet from Eric Metcalf saying game recognized 671 00:32:12,988 --> 00:32:15,068 Speaker 1: his game and he was watching our show and wanted 672 00:32:15,068 --> 00:32:16,588 Speaker 1: to shout you out and said you're one of the 673 00:32:16,588 --> 00:32:18,548 Speaker 1: best ever to do it as well. That's love. That 674 00:32:18,748 --> 00:32:20,788 Speaker 1: is love. He was one of my favorites, so to 675 00:32:20,828 --> 00:32:24,748 Speaker 1: hear him person that basically gave me inspiration as a 676 00:32:24,788 --> 00:32:27,908 Speaker 1: return man. That means a lot. All Right. Bill's receiver 677 00:32:27,948 --> 00:32:31,068 Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs signed his new four year, ninety six million 678 00:32:31,068 --> 00:32:33,428 Speaker 1: dollars extension yesterday, and here's what the two time pro 679 00:32:33,468 --> 00:32:36,628 Speaker 1: bowler said about his relationship with Josh Allen and their 680 00:32:36,628 --> 00:32:39,628 Speaker 1: potential as a duo. I kind of want to hone 681 00:32:39,628 --> 00:32:41,468 Speaker 1: it and spend a little bit more time with Josh. 682 00:32:41,468 --> 00:32:43,788 Speaker 1: You know, we spent a lot of time, and yes, yes, 683 00:32:43,828 --> 00:32:45,668 Speaker 1: that is one of my best friends, but I feel 684 00:32:45,668 --> 00:32:47,548 Speaker 1: like we got a lot more work to do. Two 685 00:32:47,628 --> 00:32:50,148 Speaker 1: years is not six years or five years. So as 686 00:32:50,148 --> 00:32:52,468 Speaker 1: far as I scratching that potential and building that relationship 687 00:32:52,588 --> 00:32:54,708 Speaker 1: quarterback and receiver, I feel like it came now so 688 00:32:54,868 --> 00:32:56,788 Speaker 1: natural to us, but it's so much more out there. 689 00:32:57,428 --> 00:32:59,348 Speaker 1: Allen and Diggs are set to make plays together for 690 00:32:59,468 --> 00:33:01,988 Speaker 1: a long time now, and they finished the regular season 691 00:33:02,028 --> 00:33:05,028 Speaker 1: as the three seed behind Tennessee and Kansas City. So 692 00:33:05,068 --> 00:33:09,028 Speaker 1: first down, all the girls, the class, the class of 693 00:33:09,068 --> 00:33:11,948 Speaker 1: the AFC heading into the twenty twenty two season. Kyle, 694 00:33:12,068 --> 00:33:16,508 Speaker 1: see what this is paper, It's thin, it's got things 695 00:33:16,548 --> 00:33:18,988 Speaker 1: printed on it's this. You take this and you put 696 00:33:18,988 --> 00:33:22,388 Speaker 1: it next to the beautiful two foot sterling silver trophy. 697 00:33:22,468 --> 00:33:23,788 Speaker 1: Let's give him out the end of the year. This 698 00:33:23,908 --> 00:33:27,468 Speaker 1: is nothing, This is paper, This is fun, this is kindling. 699 00:33:27,548 --> 00:33:29,228 Speaker 1: You light an off season fire, you put your a 700 00:33:29,268 --> 00:33:31,148 Speaker 1: little at great. The Bills are amazing and they won 701 00:33:31,148 --> 00:33:34,668 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. We're gonna break sure offseason Sure offseason 702 00:33:34,748 --> 00:33:37,268 Speaker 1: champs you hand went out every single year many years 703 00:33:37,308 --> 00:33:40,508 Speaker 1: it's it's Jacksonville or it's Carolina that it doesn't build 704 00:33:40,508 --> 00:33:42,828 Speaker 1: to anything. I'm trying to temper the excitement, and it 705 00:33:42,948 --> 00:33:46,148 Speaker 1: is very exciting, especially one's been thirty years for Buffalo 706 00:33:46,188 --> 00:33:48,708 Speaker 1: and two I think we're still just a little bit 707 00:33:48,748 --> 00:33:51,468 Speaker 1: intoxicated off of Bills Chiefs and we're talking to that 708 00:33:51,468 --> 00:33:53,868 Speaker 1: that game that was maybe the greatest football game ever played. 709 00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:56,348 Speaker 1: There's the sense of like the best player in that 710 00:33:56,388 --> 00:33:58,588 Speaker 1: game was number seventeen for the Bills, and now you've 711 00:33:58,588 --> 00:34:01,228 Speaker 1: got his receiver in their contract, you added von Millery. 712 00:34:01,228 --> 00:34:04,908 Speaker 1: It's all there except for the fact that they can't 713 00:34:04,908 --> 00:34:07,508 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs, not when it matters, not in the playoffs. 714 00:34:07,508 --> 00:34:08,828 Speaker 1: And I know they're going to be sick and tired 715 00:34:08,868 --> 00:34:10,988 Speaker 1: into hearing that, so do something about it. You can't 716 00:34:10,988 --> 00:34:14,308 Speaker 1: do anything in April, but you know, Dan, say your 717 00:34:14,388 --> 00:34:17,828 Speaker 1: Chiefs guy, your Chiefs Royalty, if you're a Chiefs fans 718 00:34:17,868 --> 00:34:20,028 Speaker 1: sitting around for the next six months saying the Bills 719 00:34:20,028 --> 00:34:22,628 Speaker 1: the Bills, like you're gonna throw off because okay, they 720 00:34:22,628 --> 00:34:24,228 Speaker 1: had a von Miller, who hasn't you know what I mean? 721 00:34:24,268 --> 00:34:27,228 Speaker 1: Like it's they got a great quarterback, they got received 722 00:34:27,228 --> 00:34:30,108 Speaker 1: who doesn't it's the AFC. So look, I could sit 723 00:34:30,148 --> 00:34:31,908 Speaker 1: here and do a parade every day for the Bills 724 00:34:31,908 --> 00:34:33,708 Speaker 1: and say it's been a long time and they have 725 00:34:33,868 --> 00:34:36,268 Speaker 1: to beat Kansas City and until they don't, paper for 726 00:34:37,268 --> 00:34:39,508 Speaker 1: throw a parade for them. Lost room. I'm just so confused. 727 00:34:39,668 --> 00:34:42,508 Speaker 1: I threw one when they destroyed New England in that 728 00:34:42,668 --> 00:34:44,508 Speaker 1: first playoff game, and it looked like they were just 729 00:34:44,508 --> 00:34:47,068 Speaker 1: going to search through the playoffs, and then what happens is, see, 730 00:34:47,108 --> 00:34:49,148 Speaker 1: we decide these things in this league on the field 731 00:34:49,188 --> 00:34:51,068 Speaker 1: of play, and the Chiefs had more points than them 732 00:34:51,068 --> 00:34:53,148 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. So sorry, they're not 733 00:34:53,468 --> 00:34:56,668 Speaker 1: authentic too in the moment, Kyle like looking at it now, 734 00:34:56,788 --> 00:34:58,828 Speaker 1: he could have his opinion. Now, it doesn't get through 735 00:34:58,868 --> 00:35:00,828 Speaker 1: in one If you just say year round like I'm 736 00:35:00,868 --> 00:35:03,228 Speaker 1: a cheerleader for the Bills, that's obnoxious and that's not 737 00:35:03,268 --> 00:35:07,748 Speaker 1: what I am. You know, I'm out you tried to be. Yeah, 738 00:35:09,348 --> 00:35:11,308 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it very simple. I'm gonna go My 739 00:35:11,388 --> 00:35:14,108 Speaker 1: answer is no, I don't think they are because I'm 740 00:35:14,148 --> 00:35:16,188 Speaker 1: like you, you have to do it on the field. 741 00:35:16,468 --> 00:35:18,948 Speaker 1: Last I checked the AFC champion, the top of the 742 00:35:18,948 --> 00:35:22,068 Speaker 1: tier in the FCS, the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bills have 743 00:35:22,228 --> 00:35:24,588 Speaker 1: yet to beat the Chiefs. Let's just say they do 744 00:35:24,788 --> 00:35:28,428 Speaker 1: this year. We still got to go Beatins exactly, and 745 00:35:28,468 --> 00:35:31,508 Speaker 1: maybe the Raiders are maybe the Chargers. So yes, the 746 00:35:31,668 --> 00:35:35,668 Speaker 1: Bills on paper look phenomenal. Um, They've made some great additions, 747 00:35:35,708 --> 00:35:39,028 Speaker 1: they signed their top receiver. But like you just said, 748 00:35:39,068 --> 00:35:41,508 Speaker 1: it's all on paper, go do it. Until then, they're 749 00:35:41,508 --> 00:35:43,868 Speaker 1: not the top two. Are they the class of the AFC. 750 00:35:43,988 --> 00:35:45,468 Speaker 1: If we were to do a draft of all the 751 00:35:45,508 --> 00:35:48,388 Speaker 1: AFC teams right now, am I taking them first overall? Yeah? 752 00:35:48,428 --> 00:35:50,988 Speaker 1: I am, I am. I'm taking the Bills first overall. 753 00:35:51,028 --> 00:35:52,588 Speaker 1: I think they've got it all going on. But to 754 00:35:52,628 --> 00:35:55,908 Speaker 1: your point, it means squat. It means nothing until they 755 00:35:55,948 --> 00:35:57,908 Speaker 1: actually get the job done. They played it in an 756 00:35:57,948 --> 00:36:00,028 Speaker 1: AFC championship game two years ago and got the doors 757 00:36:00,028 --> 00:36:01,708 Speaker 1: blown off and by the Chiefs. They played in an 758 00:36:01,708 --> 00:36:04,148 Speaker 1: AFC divisional around last year that if the rules were 759 00:36:04,148 --> 00:36:06,868 Speaker 1: maybe what they are now in the overtime, they potentially 760 00:36:06,908 --> 00:36:09,308 Speaker 1: do win that game. But they had thirteen seconds to 761 00:36:09,348 --> 00:36:11,468 Speaker 1: stop Patrick Mahomes. They had to make a stop and 762 00:36:11,508 --> 00:36:13,708 Speaker 1: they didn't. I can't say that they are the best 763 00:36:13,708 --> 00:36:15,468 Speaker 1: team in the AFC, but I could tell you right 764 00:36:15,468 --> 00:36:17,348 Speaker 1: now going into it, I think they are my favorites 765 00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:20,068 Speaker 1: going into the AFC this season. I mean, we talked 766 00:36:20,068 --> 00:36:22,588 Speaker 1: about the Bengals this week. When we're talking about this division, 767 00:36:22,868 --> 00:36:25,268 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Dante. I have no reason to believe 768 00:36:25,268 --> 00:36:27,228 Speaker 1: that they're not poised to make another run at this 769 00:36:27,468 --> 00:36:30,108 Speaker 1: and particularly when I look at guys like Joe Burrow 770 00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:32,588 Speaker 1: in his third year coming off the injury that first year, 771 00:36:32,588 --> 00:36:34,668 Speaker 1: and then you got Jamar Chase's second year as wide receiver. 772 00:36:34,788 --> 00:36:37,068 Speaker 1: We typically see wide receivers like Jamar Chase just go 773 00:36:37,228 --> 00:36:39,308 Speaker 1: up and up and up. And they really needed to 774 00:36:39,388 --> 00:36:41,548 Speaker 1: upgrade the offensive line and they've addressed that and they'll 775 00:36:41,548 --> 00:36:43,748 Speaker 1: probably continue to address that in the draft. So I 776 00:36:43,788 --> 00:36:45,668 Speaker 1: just think it's going to be really really fun to 777 00:36:45,708 --> 00:36:48,908 Speaker 1: watch these teams for the next couple of years. We're lucky. 778 00:36:48,988 --> 00:36:52,068 Speaker 1: Let's just say that good morning football on a Friday 779 00:36:52,188 --> 00:36:53,748 Speaker 1: only if you watch from the NFL Draft for only 780 00:36:53,748 --> 00:36:55,748 Speaker 1: a few minutes from ending the show and Peter, we 781 00:36:55,868 --> 00:36:57,388 Speaker 1: at the table.
