1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast has never played in the NFL.

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast,

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: presented by Into It Quick Books, the official sponsor of

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. My name is Dan hans As. I am

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: coming to you from a city filled with heroes and

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: Bunker's Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg Rose withthal What

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: is up? Boys? Hey? Dan, how's everybody done? You sound

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: like you're doing better. I mean when you break out

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: the classic Budweiser frogs, it's good times. Uh, it's just

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: like you gotta separate your life from your work. I'm

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: just grinding. It's been a long thirty six hours. But

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: hopefully my wife is on a soft reboot as of

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: right now. She's with the children. She's in the same

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: room as the children now, So UM, I think things

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: will slowly get back to normal, not in the world,

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 1: but at least in our house if we're lucky. From

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: what I know of Emily, Uh, she will be delighted

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: to find out that, you know, hundreds of thousands of

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: listeners have heard her described in a soft reboot mode.

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the woman, she's she's the light

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: of my life. But I actually that was the term

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: I used her. I said, Honey, listen, I'm gonna be

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: going back in the garage around twelve thirty. And I

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: know you're still not feeling close to but I'm gonna

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: need a soft reboot just just to be there because

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: these kids are not It's not going to survive. It

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: was basically Russian Roulette yesterday and I gotta have it

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: okay the kids to not destroy the house. The house

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: is a total mess when I got in, but no

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: one was missing an arm or trapped underneath, you know,

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: a bookcase or anything. But we just can't risk that again.

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: So Emily in a soft reboot right now. And what

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is, once we figure finish up the show, UM,

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: I will, like a good husband, UM, allow her to

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: return to her chambers and continue to rest. It's important

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: that you you need to have like one thing, I'm

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: finding and I'm enjoying actually my time with my kids,

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: but uh, something starts to happen intellectually when the only

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: person that you're interacting with is under the age of ten, essentially,

40
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: And I was thinking back to a couple of weeks

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: ago when Dan and West and I hung out with

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Colleen and Gonzo and Lakisha and others, and I thought

43
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: even that, oh, should I be home and you know,

44
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: doing the dad thing. And it's like, thank god we

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: actually got together that day, because I'm not sure when

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: any of us will hang out socially ever again. And

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm at the point where I'm just missing jukeboxes. Um,

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm missing just the luxuries of city life and life

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: in general and being able to go somewhere and you

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know who will be there. And now it's like

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: it's the same conversations over and over about uh, this

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: racing game that my two children obsessed with on the computer.

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm starting to burn out on the topic.

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: And they locked. They lack just basic you know, common

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: sense and logic. So you try to have a conversation

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: with him, and it's just like goes in circles or

57
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: goes off on a tangent. It's just like, can I

58
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: have an adult conversation with someone? You know? Can I

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: sit on a bar stool? You know? Can I just

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: go somewhere? But there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide,

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: speaking which I um of the shutdown and everyone being

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: inside quarantined essentially I did get out of the house

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: briefly to run an errand uh today and I was

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: driving in my car and I drove past the grocery

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: store and there's still a line to get into the

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: grocery store. And I'm a little confused about the line thing.

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: So we're being told by our local government that there

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: is no issue with food shortage. Okay, Um, people are

69
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: just keep going to the stores and buying out the stores.

70
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Where are they putting all this stuff they're getting? One,

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: if these are real questions, I'm not messing around. And two,

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: if I am not doing the same thing, Am I

73
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: putting my family in peril? Should I be just stocking

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: up here? What's going on? Are you guys stocking up?

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: What's going on here? Let's deal with these grocery stores.

76
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm not really stocking up. But I think the line

77
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: which I saw yesterday coming out of Sprouts, which was

78
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: next to office depot, it was a good long. I

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: presume that people are not allowed to queue up at

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the register. You're not allowed to stand so close to

81
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: each other. So I think they're just letting people in,

82
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 1: like a few people at a time. But I have information, Yeah,

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: they the Whole Foods next to my house has taped lines,

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: and the reason the lines are so long is because

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: you're supposed to stay six ft apart, so they're they're

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: queuing people out, and they're only allowed to have ten

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: people in the store at once. The store itself when

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: you get inside. I live across the street from the Bonds,

89
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: and I've been scouting out different ones, just seeing like, alright,

90
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: what's a little more. I had a guess that like

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: the more the expensive grocery store which is like a

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: mile away that I've only been to once, and I

93
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: really I know this was a different Bonds. Uh, this

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: was what the Bristol farms, and it's like you go

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: one time, You're like, why is everything so expensive? You

96
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: never go back again. I had a hunch that maybe

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: people weren't at that expensive one. That's like the written

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: and and I was right. It was like empty, but

99
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: even as Erica said, there are lines outside, but once

100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: you get in, it's actually the most pleasant shopping experience

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: I've ever had At Vons. It's empty, there's no lines

102
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: for the register. So that's the trade offs, like Greg

103
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: being like Jimmy Stewart in rear window, um you know,

104
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: binoculars on Vons for the right time to enter. Well,

105
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: you know it. Um. It hasn't been an asset living

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: here watching um all the accidents and bum fights across

107
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: the street for the last six years. But now we're

108
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: back being across the street from Vons has been good.

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: I decided when I turned probably about thirty two or

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: thirty three years old, that I would never wait in

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: a line ever again to get into get in somewhere.

112
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna whether it's a nightclub or a

113
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: bar or whatever, I'm gonna keep that policy with the

114
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: grocery store. So I'm just gonna wait till this dies down. Yeah,

115
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: waited out. Life's too short for lines. Yeah, but like

116
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: I need food, Like I haven't found chicken or meat. Sorry, Mark.

117
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: And you should really drive to Santa because even at

118
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: any time of the day, Uh, it's well stocked. Yeah,

119
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I told you the last night. Greg, I want you

120
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: to text me so I can go to your Vans

121
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: when it's like the coast is clear. I love I

122
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: love that Santa Monica. Is this like total utopia? No,

123
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's any better, but I'm just saying

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: they got they got meat it. It was like that

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: for the first three or four days, but now it's fine,

126
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Um okay, So today, Wednesday, hump Day, get over that.

127
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: Guess there's not It's probably not a functional Monday through

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Friday environment at the moment, So I don't know what

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: hump day. No podcast on the weekend, it will be different.

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what's on the other side of

131
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: the hump. There's no days anymore more. Sweatpants. We have

132
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: socially distanced from days of the week, but they are

133
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: like a searching for meat. Today show, Today's show, we're

134
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: just gonna do basically a news rundown and just get

135
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: you caught up on what's happened since we last spoke

136
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: to you on Tuesday, and there was a fair bit

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: of info. So so so unless anyone has anything else they

138
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: want to add, you want to just dive into it,

139
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: well just maybe as a tease like the Nicole Roby

140
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: Coleman news has rocked the NFL and we were texting

141
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: about it quite a bit, and so that will be

142
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: that will be our big sell of the show. Stay

143
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: tuned for that, and you you're gonna think because it's

144
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: the last news item it's the least important, but it

145
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: actually it's the other way around. It's like going to

146
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: Lallapalooza or something. It's our segment, coach, it's you know,

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the headliner, NFC arms Roby Coleman to the Eagles. Let's

148
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: do some news, all right. Let's start with a little

149
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: bit of league calendar information. The league years started on time,

150
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: as we all know, after much handwringing about whether the

151
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: NFL should push it back because of COVID nineteen and

152
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. They did not, as we all know. And

153
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that internally in the league that there's

154
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: still a push for this league calendar to have some

155
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: flexibility given the completely um unique circumstances that we're dealing

156
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: with right now as a society. ESPNS Adam Schefter and

157
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Diana Rassini reported that NFL gms are in favor of

158
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft being postponed, but Roger Goodell plans on

159
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: keeping the April start date. Um, I am on record

160
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: once again, that is my forty birthday. We're in the

161
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: middle of a global pandemic. How about you know things

162
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: are already kind of terrible. Just give me the day

163
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: off for my birthday. Uh, rog be cool about this.

164
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: It's already been kind of a rough Uh. That's where

165
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: I stand. All the gms agree, probably for a similar reason.

166
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: What do you guys come down on this? Do you

167
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: think there should be a postponement the the I should

168
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: explain what's behind beyond my birthday that because of all

169
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: the pro days being wiped away and the all the

170
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: scouts being taken off the road, essentially, it's put all

171
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: the NFL teams in a place where they feel very uncomfortable.

172
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: They're making huge decisions and they feel like they may

173
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: not be prepared by next month. Yeah. I hate to

174
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: be the houseboy here, but I'm fine with this being

175
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: in the hands of the people who are actually talking

176
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: to decision makers and higher ups. Out of all the

177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: things to be outraged about, I don't think that the

178
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: NFL Draft is really on on the top of my radar. No,

179
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I hear you. But I also understand why the the

180
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: gms are trying to have their voices heard. I think

181
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: there's an idea that there's a competitive disadvantage depending on

182
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe where you live and what what each team situation

183
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be. In what the world could look like

184
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: in in a month, uh, that your team could be

185
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: really in a place where you don't feel like you

186
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: can do the draft as well as as you can,

187
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: versus maybe another team in a city where it's not

188
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: as bad, it's not still in a lockdown. Like I

189
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: get it, Like the Olympics is a much bigger deal

190
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: the draft you can do just you know, calling in

191
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: a pick. But Mickey Loomis said, this isn't a fantasy draft.

192
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: What what is the rush? And I think it's the

193
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: GMS are kind of saying, like, what is the world

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: gonna be like in six weeks? Because you might just

195
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: be delaying the inevitable, which is which is canceling it?

196
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: Then I mean maybe that's Roger Goodell's ideas that like

197
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: by not canceling it now, you leave open the window

198
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: that you could do it, and that it's still up

199
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: for debate. But I think it's understandable to maybe want

200
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: to push it. Yeah, I don't have a problem with

201
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: waiting a little bit though, just to see I mean,

202
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like anything's really going to change between

203
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: now and in the draft from what you generally here,

204
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: But if you know a little bit more time before

205
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: it's sufficially moved UM. I defined it that to be

206
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the second sort of major UM league year event where

207
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: there is a strong voice from thirty to front offices

208
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: or at least a large majority of them saying, can

209
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: we hold off on the league gear? Can we hold

210
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: off on the draft? And uh, Goodell is pushing back,

211
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: which makes me wonder what the owners think, but you

212
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: know they are at this point. It sounds like shutting

213
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: down UM today. I believe all facilities. So that that

214
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: because initially it was like the teams in New York

215
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: and the teams in California distinctly had a were at

216
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: a disadvantage because they couldn't assemble in any way where

217
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: if you're you know, somewhere else, that was still possible

218
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: in some states. So that's meant to level the playing field.

219
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: Uh that that helps, but it still creates UM a

220
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: lot of issues on how to communicate and if you're

221
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: a first year front office and the first year coaching staff.

222
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: I just think that this season is gonna the mounting

223
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: UM complications and pressure to cohere as a team UM

224
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be incredible for the new for the new

225
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: groups versus say the Steelers are the Saints that have

226
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: been doing the same thing in the same operating the

227
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: same way forever. Roger Goodell, if you if you had

228
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: a looking and imagine very National Football League float chart,

229
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: he answers to the owners ultimately correct. Yes, So if

230
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: thirty two gms all agree, why wouldn't ownership just ramp

231
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: up the pressure on good old Rock and make this happen.

232
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: So that's one thing I was wondering. The other thing

233
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: is the gears of the machine have already been ground

234
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: to a halt. They cleared out the whole Vegas thing.

235
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: There's nothing to be postponed in terms of the actual

236
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: physical setting. So it does feel like something they could

237
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: probably change on the fly without there being a ton of,

238
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, logistical concerns. So yeah, that's true. And to

239
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: be clear about this report, there is something called a

240
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: GM subcommittee and they did take a vote um and

241
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: it was six to one in favor of pushing it.

242
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: So there's there's some level of of making this official.

243
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: I did talk to someone who works from a team

244
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: and like, once free agency ended, I think everyone in

245
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: the NFL that's in the front office just turned the

246
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: page and his straight into draft mode. Everyone is just

247
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: watching tape. They're just doing it at home, you know,

248
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: and they're probably talking like us on on zoom or

249
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: whatever whatever they want to or sending an email. But

250
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like like personnel departments. I think they're just

251
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: like on their computers watching tape. It's not for them

252
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: too different except you know, if you have families, they're

253
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: surrounded by their families just like we are. The one

254
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: other thing I would say that they need to think about,

255
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: and you know others are suggesting this too, that if

256
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: these if O t A s and training camps and

257
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: all this other stuff were wiped out. I mean, and

258
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: even before you have rookies involved in the process of

259
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: the offseason, that the ability to kind of like have

260
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: coaches share information with players where they put that big

261
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: freeze on that, I think they should loosen some of

262
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: that and say, this is a very unusual offseason. Let's

263
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: help all these teams have as much communication as they

264
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: can with their players about new schemes offense, defense. I

265
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: just again, I just think that there's we're going to

266
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: see a playoff fields so similar to last year. If

267
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: it's the same, if if new, if new teams and

268
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: new like you know staffs are forced to get it

269
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: done in like no time. I don't like this situation.

270
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: I'd i'd put a sandwich on that mark. Although your

271
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: logic is sound on on some level, I think there's

272
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: just turnover every year, and there was, I don't think

273
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: it would be I don't see a direct correlation to that.

274
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: Although maybe by the time you get to September and October,

275
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: like you are where you are, or even by the

276
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: end of August. But if there's no training camp, it

277
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: does it does It is gonna like f up certain

278
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: operations that are starting over with completely. I totally get that.

279
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: But also every year you see teams that are supposed

280
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: to be locked and loaded and look at hot and

281
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: dandy with their coaches and their personnel, and then they

282
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: just flatline anyway. So these conversations are so weird, Like

283
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: if you take a step back and put ourselves into

284
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: the mind that we were in a month ago and

285
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: that we're at home having a conversation how the global

286
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: pandemic is going to affect like pro days, it's just

287
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: like it's like and it's true like that. It is

288
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: something to think about because the NFL is just this

289
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: tiny little part of the world. But we can talk

290
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: about tiny part. But it is so freaking bizarre. Everything

291
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: is terrible. Um, let's get into some personnel moves. Will

292
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: start in No Orleans where the Saints and Generic Jenkins

293
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: agree on a two year, sixteen point seven five million

294
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: dollar extension UH takes him through two thousand twenty two.

295
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: Rap sheet had this UH. He came over to the

296
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: Saints jack rabbit off waivers from the Giants, had some

297
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: butting of heads behind the scenes with the g man,

298
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: and he played pretty well with the Saints, and now

299
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: they give him a new deal that if he stayed

300
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: employed for those two years, would be playing cornerback at

301
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: age thirty four potentially, and you line him up across

302
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: the Marshall Lattimore and that's not a bad combo. I'm

303
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: amazed by the Saints team's ability to stay so talented

304
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: this offseason, like this contracts I think a very team

305
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: friendly contract. He played well for the Saints last year.

306
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: They're they're getting an upgrade over Eli Apple you look

307
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: at their roster. I was thinking about it like that.

308
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: The hardest thing to do in the NFL is be

309
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: a top five team every year, and I think That's

310
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: one of the amazing things about the Belichick Brady run

311
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: is is that they did it. And and I think

312
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: the Saints have a chance to be a top five

313
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: team for the fourth straight year. And I don't know

314
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: any team other than the Patriots who who's had like

315
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: there haven't been many teams who has had a three

316
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: to four straight year run like that where there's no dip. Uh.

317
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Saints fans will obviously be the first to say, like,

318
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: it just doesn't feel like that exciting when when you

319
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: don't capitalize in it on it by doing anything in January.

320
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: It's funny because they had that string of like seven

321
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: and nine years over and over where people wondered if

322
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: maybe Sean Payton was running out of rope. And I

323
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: remember I used to wonder what Mickey Loomis was actually

324
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: doing as an NFL GM when he spent all his time,

325
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, coppling together the Pelicans. I didn't understand that arrangement.

326
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: But they have been one of those premier teams and everyone.

327
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: So the Bucks are loading up for you know, to

328
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: win the division in March right into the playoffs. Well

329
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: it's like, sorry, the Saints are doing the same exact thing,

330
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: and I right now, I don't care what's happening at

331
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: trust the Saints to be there at the end more

332
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: than I do the Bucks, no matter what. Together, which

333
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: take do you feel less confident about? In March? Mickey

334
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Loomis has too much on his hands and that's why

335
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: the Saints aren't winning, or Bruce Arians his heart isn't

336
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: in it with the Bucks. Well, I think that. I

337
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: think at this point, like they both, they've both been

338
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: proven false. There was a period where I think that

339
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: my Mickey Loomis concerns were that was when you were

340
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: That's when I was beating that trum. It's it was

341
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: cares about this team. You know sometimes, like you know

342
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman or Stephen Asman, it's not about whether the

343
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: take is right or not. It was a good take,

344
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: it was that was a great take. It was a

345
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: saucy take. It was a saucy take. Uh. In other news,

346
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: speaking of the Bucks and Dominicans, Sue uh is staying

347
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: in town. He agrees to a one year, eight million

348
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: dollar contract. The Bucks are all of a sudden a

349
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: place that people really want to be at because Tom

350
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: Brady is the quarterback. Uh So you got Shack Barrett

351
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: back there on the franchise tag. You've got j p

352
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: P who just resigned for to two years, and now Sue.

353
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: He's thirty three years old now, but he played a

354
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: ton of snaps last season. He's at least according to

355
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: metrics Advanced metrics uh PFF and the like, he's fine

356
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: too okay to find at this point in his career,

357
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: but a nice little piece and continuity along the defensive

358
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: line UH is a good thing as long as you're

359
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: not a progress stopper right west. He had a pretty

360
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: good year last year. The Bucks. Nobody can run on

361
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: them with Vita Vea, who I think might be the

362
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: best nose tackle in the NFL now and Sue. And

363
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: then you've got, like you said, JPP and Shack Barrett

364
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: the middle linebackers with Devin White and Lavonte David. This

365
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: is a really good front seven. And I don't think

366
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to run on in him again

367
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: this year if there is a this year. UH. Sue,

368
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: according to PF was the number thirty interior alignment out

369
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: of a hundred nineteen qualifiers. So yes, um, he played

370
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: at a high level. Bad for a guy that's been

371
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: doing it for what thirteen years or so. Its keeps

372
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: track of, you know, run defense, and there's some stat

373
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: I think like three of the of the top five

374
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: run defenses of the last twenty years Todd Bowles has

375
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: been associated with. So that that's what the Bowls of

376
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Sons gives you. It's a good thing too that Tom

377
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: Brady wasn't one of the people that Sue stomped dot

378
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: back in his bad boy days in Detroit. Because now

379
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna be, you know, hanging out with each other

380
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: eating spaghetti. I kind of missed that. Super I like

381
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: that Sue way better, like the the misunderstood ball player

382
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: who just likes to play hard and stop a guy

383
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: and kick a guy in the nuts every once in

384
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: a while. I like him better than the guy hanging

385
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: out with Lea I Coca and talking about Chrysler. I

386
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: once interviewed his mom for that celebrated Mother's Day piece

387
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned and uh, she went on a

388
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: long remember about she went on a long riff about

389
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: how um you know she She was like, Oh, when

390
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: he was a little boy, he loved playing with his legos.

391
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: I was like, I just can't really imagine, Uh, Madama

392
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: can sue as a lego master, but but apparently he

393
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: was very skilled. It's impressive how often you bring up

394
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: that mother. What's the link? How do we get what's

395
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: the link? What's the vanity? You r l you know

396
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: what he's go to NFL dot com backslash cessler and

397
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: you just scroll down and down and down. I don't

398
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: think it had a vanity you are. I just did

399
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Mother's Day, Mark Sessler. Let's see that will probably do

400
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: it well. I don't know. We don't need to invest

401
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: in it in too much more time into this what

402
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: it means to be the mother of an NFL star?

403
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: May eleven, two thousand seventeen. Oh, under the sidelines banner. Uh,

404
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: and they were hurting for content. Uh, you got as

405
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: you said, you had Bernadette Sue, Donna Kelsey under the

406
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: subhead before the lights. Two birds, one stone with that one,

407
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: because you know, you get two players involved there, two

408
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: champions sons. Now, maybe maybe you should get a little

409
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: credit for that. Yeah, it doesn't seem no one seems

410
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: to be willing to. Uh. Historicle was part of the

411
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: rise of the Eagles and Chiefs. Is there another mom

412
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: in here? I just see Bernadette and well there was

413
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: a controversial um bolden. Someone's mother was taken out of

414
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: the copy, Brandon Marshall's mom, if I'm not mistaken with

415
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: a different lesson. Yes, there was a there was a

416
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: mom who gave me a great interview and she was

417
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: pulled from the project because the son uh got into

418
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: some mischief that they didn't want to UH have advertising

419
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: in this story. Ricky will bleep it out out. Just

420
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: tell us all right, ye say no more, Okay, say

421
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: no more. Moving one question before we move on, one

422
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: question for the general group. Does anybody here all these

423
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: c poems were singing about the Bucks run defense. Does

424
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: anybody here have any idea how important run defense is

425
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: in today's game? I remember Greg saying last year that

426
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: teams like the Chiefs and the Patriots are almost inviting

427
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: other team used to run on them. Now, I just

428
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: don't know in today's NFL how important it is to

429
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: be able to shut down, say Ezekiel Elliott on a

430
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: given week. Also, that's fair, that's a fair question. And Greg,

431
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: you bring up the balls as sons so often. Did

432
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: you actually think they had a good year last year overall? Defensively? Yes,

433
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: because they ended so strong, and they've they've been trying

434
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: to develop some young players in the secondary forever and

435
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: they finally did it at the end of the year

436
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: and they had some star making um performances. So yeah,

437
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: I think they were pretty good defense. To answer your question, West,

438
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as it's not. It's not like

439
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: one third as important as stopping to pass. That's that's

440
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: the problem. Also, I mean, you when your quarterback is

441
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: giving the ball away at the pace that Winston did,

442
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: you're putting your defense with the pick six, is with

443
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: the bad field position in a terrible spot. So I

444
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: would I would almost look at that more than yards

445
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: allowed on the ground in some cases. Both We've got

446
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: people paid, Dan Jpp, Shack Barrett. He's getting making people funny,

447
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: good good. I'm happy when people make money. Speaking of

448
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: star making performances down the stretch for the Bucks, Breshad

449
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: Perriman really uh lit it up for the Bucks. After

450
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: Mike Evans went out for the rest of the season

451
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: in December last year, I think he had over five

452
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: yards and five touchdowns in the in December. So he

453
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: lands with the New York Jets who lost Robbie Anderson

454
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: the day before or the same day, and the Jets

455
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: lock Perryman up to a one year, eight million dollar contract,

456
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: six million of that guaranteed. So, Um, whether or not

457
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: you think that Robby Anderson is an upgrade, the Jets

458
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: essentially looked to have saved a little bit of money

459
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: here here gave give himself more flexibility. Boomer Sisson, by

460
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: the way, former Jet and now does he's a big

461
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: time New York radio guy. Um said yesterday that the

462
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: Jets offered Robbie Anderson four years for forty and he

463
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: took two years for twenties. So I guess they just uh,

464
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's a combination of betting on

465
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: himself a little bit, or just he wanted the Jets

466
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: to go up on that annual number and it just

467
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: never happened. But Perriman is in the building. I never

468
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: thought much of him as a player. I know he's

469
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: bounced around, former first round pick with the Ravens, but

470
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: obviously what he did at the end of last season

471
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: caught my eye and and gives me some optimism that

472
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: he can play. He was on my red flag wrist

473
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: list because he didn't play until the other receivers got injured.

474
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: And it's my theory that Jamis Winston Goose's wide receiver

475
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: numbers just because he's always throwing. He's not afraid to

476
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: throw in any situation, whether the guy's open or not.

477
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know if Jamis Winston wide receiver stats

478
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: transferred to other quarterbacks. I just don't know. And I

479
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: know he you know, Perraman is thought of really high

480
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: in the fantasy community because he did well during the

481
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy playoffs, But again a guy who didn't really see

482
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: the field much until those guys got injured in front

483
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: of him. Paraman also a couple of days ago, I

484
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: there was a paraman No nugget where he saying I

485
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: want to stay in Tampa. I mean not not even

486
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: it's to Tom Brady thing, but because I love the

487
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, you know, deep centric offense, and I wonder

488
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: what that happened, what happens to him in the Jets.

489
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: I actually thought in Cleveland two seasons ago, Um, that's

490
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: what helped him get that Tampa job was I thought

491
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: he played all right when the Browns, when before Baker

492
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, had last year's he was throwing the deep

493
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: ball pretty well. And Perriman did some good stuff. So

494
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: I think it's more like, do you trust the Jets

495
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: to get the most out of a player like this TBD,

496
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: And I think you definitely don't want him to be

497
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: your number one or one a guy, so you still

498
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: expect the Jets to go in the draft and and

499
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: go get a guy to pair with Jameson Crowder. Uh

500
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: And you've got Chris Harns to the tight end we

501
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: shall see mentioned and Dominicans sue um He was connected

502
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys as a possibility for Dallas, but they

503
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: settled on a different defensive lineman, Dontarry po um Rap.

504
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: She'd had this uh he signs uh he greased terms

505
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys leaving the Panthers. He's entering his age

506
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: thirty season. Like Gerald McCoy, greg a guy that maybe

507
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: was a bigger star two or three years ago, but

508
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 1: maybe this uh man you can still play the guitar.

509
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: I I think he's the type of signing they need

510
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: to have because I've been banging the drum. They just

511
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: don't have any defensive lineman. And I actually think like

512
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: these low cost short term veterans who can still play

513
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: or maybe the only people that are undervalued in free

514
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: agency because yeah, you're not getting him for like three years,

515
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: but you can go put him on the field and

516
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: that that has a lot of value, especially for a

517
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: team that for the like the Cowboys, he just don't

518
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: have any defensive lineman. They still need more. I mean

519
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: they they only have like four guys who I think

520
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: you could look at as someone that you would want

521
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: to put out on the field. So he's a good

522
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: addition alright. Moving on, Taj Sharp is now the new

523
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, who have a vacancy

524
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: to fill with Stefan Diggs now with Josh Allen in Buffalo.

525
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: It is a one year, one million dollar contract. He'll

526
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: start potentially opposite Adam Feeling. Uh. Like the Jets, the Vikings,

527
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: it makes sense that they will perhaps pursue this position

528
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: further in a highly rich wide receiver draft class, where

529
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: there could be I believe there was some absurd number

530
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: I read yesterday that twenty or thirty wide receivers could

531
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: be taken in the first four rounds. Is that even

532
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: possible or at least that they have first three round grades. Yeah,

533
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: but anyway, whatever that it might be wrong the exact

534
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: note there, But you could get a guy in the

535
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: top three rounds that you you're gonna feel pretty good

536
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: about based on the grades and the scouting from a

537
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: lot of these UH teams across the league. Taj Sharp

538
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: was a guy who was behind Adam Humphreys for most

539
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: of last year and played in December when Humphreys was hurt.

540
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: Play fairly well, but he's also a guy you're not

541
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna expect him to get more than five hundred yards

542
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: in a season, so he's not really moving the needle

543
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: for that Vikings offense. I mean that maybe that's one

544
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: of the worst receiver cars in the league right now,

545
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: behind Theland. I guess you have Theland, but after that

546
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: they don't have They don't have anyone. There were times though,

547
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: it seemed like by having sort of two stars and

548
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: in that specific offense, which was you know, run heavy

549
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot like at the top of the league in

550
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: terms of like multiple tight end sets, that that caused

551
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: some of the issues with digs. Uh. It's to me

552
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: with with Cousins and how the whole like attack flowed.

553
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: But I'd be shocked if they're not using that draft

554
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: pick from Buffalo to wheel and deal and move up

555
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: and get the wide receiver they want. I mean, I

556
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: don't know. You can't go into the season with a

557
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: fourth rounder added to Taj Sharp. Speaking of Stefon Diggs,

558
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler dropped the bomb on Twitter. Sam Bradford didn't

559
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: even know what hit him. Here's the tweet from Mark

560
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: Dahlia reminder that Sam Bradford made one nine million, nino

561
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: thousand five dollars to go thirty four forty eight and one.

562
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: He's not done yet, folks. Never made a Pro Bowl

563
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: or an All Pro team, never started a playoff game,

564
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: very possibly lives in a castle right now off the

565
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: coast of some majestic ocean. And the very Stefen Diggs

566
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: got into Mark's replies. Really yes, and I won't say

567
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: I won't. I won't say he clapped back at your Mark.

568
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: I didn't take it aggressively, but he I think he

569
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: wanted to defend a former teammate. Uh. This is what

570
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: Diggs wrote. But let's not forget the teams. Sam was

571
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: a part of one of the smartest qbs I qise

572
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: and one of the most accurate as well when healthy.

573
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: When healthy, one could argue he was pretty damn good.

574
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: So Mr uh you know Twitter warrior, Mr guy on

575
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: the sidelines never played a snap. This is the real

576
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: talk right here from a player from our league. Wait,

577
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm the Twitter war or that's how that's that's the

578
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: role I'm playing. Well, it's basically he's doing. Listen, if

579
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: you were actually there, you would know that there were

580
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: qualities to him that made him attractive as a player.

581
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: While not disagreeing with you that he probably two quick things.

582
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: So I think one that part, you know, you're not

583
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna go, I'm not doing of these like threads where

584
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 1: you're you know, adding fifty five things to it. But

585
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: he was the last, like no first overall pick that

586
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: got one of those ridiculous rookie deals and that sort

587
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: of set it off to begin with. So it's not

588
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford's it's not his fault that he got. You know,

589
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: he looks ridiculous paid. Why did Sam Bradford enter your

590
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: your mind yesterday? Because I have, like, you know, like

591
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, you're just you know, these

592
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: groups of friends and all these text threads going around,

593
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: and I have one friend that is very anti pro

594
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: athlete in general, making gobs of money when they're actually

595
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: sort of a lot of times stubgish or they don't

596
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: perform well. And I mentioned the Bradford contract is something

597
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: that would take from what's going on. What is that

598
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: a take from all these players with their duel rags

599
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: and their posses. Well, I don't you know. I was

600
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: saying that a lot of really actually good people in

601
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, but there are some contrasts that look ridiculous.

602
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: But my thing with Sam Bradford is like I always

603
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: struggled if you'd giving top five most memorable Sam Bradford moments.

604
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm not the person about that Saints game. I know.

605
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you know what, White Digs is

606
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: sticking up for him because he was there for that

607
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Week one Sam Bradford performance in two thousand and seventeen.

608
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: West you did that top twenty game pass games that

609
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: should have been number one on the list, Sam Bradford dealing. Yeah,

610
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: find me a game with better ball placement by a

611
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: quarterback than that game. But what would two through five

612
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: p I mean, I'm just saying it's not someone that

613
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: you just you know, there's not a lot of magical

614
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: moments created by this guy that made a hundred and

615
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: thirty millions there was. There was like a good tie

616
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: he had. I remember, I think when he was part

617
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: of the St. Louis Rams. It was a really good

618
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: and it was like, this is very typical Bradford that

619
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: he had his best performing to what who is it

620
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks I think where it ended up in

621
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: a tie. He was good for a couple of times

622
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: a year. Yeah. And also Mark, I was watching a

623
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: really kind of underrated TV series out there, whether you're

624
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: a fan of wrestling or not. It's called Dark Side

625
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 1: of the Ring on Vice, which is a real network

626
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: and I wasn't really aware of, but it was. They

627
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: did an episode yesterday on the death of Chris ben

628
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: Wah and it went through a lot of the that

629
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: period in wrestling history and you you dig into how

630
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: much abuse the pro wrestlers wait played again, Ricky, let's

631
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: hear the guys say, it's real to me, damn it,

632
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: it's still thank you, how much abuse they do to

633
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: their bodies. Sam Bradford Mark, he left his body on

634
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: the field of the NFL uh he and stadiums across

635
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: the country. That man's body will never be the same.

636
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: He laid it all out there trying to be a

637
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: great QB. It just didn't take. I don't doubt that.

638
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: And like I actually after I thought that, you know,

639
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: maybe thirty people would like on that thing, and it

640
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: kind of for some reason in the space where everyone's

641
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: just sitting in their houses kind of blew up. And

642
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: I then felt bad because the last thing I want

643
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: is like Sam Bradford and his like cousin like to

644
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: see it or something or his Why. I mean, it's

645
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: unless you're doing it daily. You said it's gonna be

646
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: a daily. It's waiting to hear it. It's it's quite

647
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: What about what about Ritchie Bradford, his nine year old son. Yes, yeah,

648
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna take a break from Twitter. I

649
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: feel like I crossed the boundary there. If you've made

650
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: a hundred forty three million, you name your son Richie too.

651
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: Oh we have Tyler Effort new sound, the Tyler Effort

652
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Alarm your boy, my boy. The former Bengals tight end

653
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: has signed a two year contract with the Jaguars so

654
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: he can make some magic with Gardner Minshew. Hopefully it's funny.

655
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: I have long been as you guys are alluding to,

656
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: and anybody that listens to the show been a supporter

657
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: of Tyler Effort. I loved him as a player. He

658
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: finally he was one of the more injury play guys

659
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the last decade in the NFL.

660
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: Finally played sixteen games last year, and I lost interest

661
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: in him. I just you know, I kind of lost

662
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: track of him, didn't care about him as much. So

663
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: I think I was always more intrigued by him playing

664
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: really well until Week seven and then suffering a you know,

665
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: gruesome ankle dislocation or a torn labor um or a

666
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: busted neck, all these different things he went through, uh,

667
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: and it kept him interesting to me. Once he had

668
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: a full sample size at his age, I kind of

669
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: got out on Tyler Eifford. But you know what, it's fine.

670
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's still casting paychecks. And good for him.

671
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: He got two years. This is up there with the

672
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: draft occurring on your birthday, it is. You can't really

673
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: fault if we're not grinding the two thousand nineteen Bengals tape. Yeah,

674
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: I would love to know what Efford's numbers were. Actually,

675
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: it's like forty for four or so. I mean, the problem,

676
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, after all of these injuries, it's hard to expect, um,

677
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, a guy to have the a potential that

678
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: that he had before all of them happened. That got

679
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: you so excited. Damn Yeah. I think it was a

680
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: foot injury and ankle injury, a leg injury, all sorts

681
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: of lower body stuff, and that takes a toll on

682
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: the big men. I don't think it happens at Jake Ruten.

683
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: I think Jake Ruden's there and he probably said, let's

684
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 1: this guy now cool the Bengals. Speaking of which, the

685
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Bengals signed Bell. I'm just gonna step out if you

686
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: don't mind. I don't have any reason to be here

687
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: at this point. Now you butted it up well, so

688
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: there wasn't much else to say. The Bengals signed safety

689
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: Von Bell, formerly of the Saints, three year deal. Uh so,

690
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati keeps spending money. I love it, West, Come on back, West,

691
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: get on the cornhole boards, crank up the bob Seeger,

692
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: fire up the grill, and let's get pumped. You know,

693
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: you alluded yesterday to the fact that over the last

694
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: five years they spent about fifty million, and now it

695
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: is up to this offseason. A hundred twenty seven million

696
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: they've spent on unrestricted free ah from other teams. They

697
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: really needed to overhaul the entire secondary. They bring in

698
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Trey Waynes and Mackenzie Alexander from the Vikings, Von Bell

699
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: from the Saints. They signed Lashawn Sims from the Titans,

700
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: and I'm a little worried about those cornerbacks, but the

701
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: safety duo of von Bell and Jesse Bates is really good.

702
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: Sean Williams, who have been starting at safety, looks to

703
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: me like a guy who can move into sort of

704
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: that nickel linebacker role. Uh, this is a much better

705
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: secondary than they had last year. You got a question

706
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: if they were picking nine and had no assurances at

707
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: all of getting any quarterback, would they be doing all

708
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: this or is this you know not unlike Tom Brady

709
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay, like they finally feel like we've got

710
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: our dude and we're we're stacking this up. I mean,

711
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: you gotta give Zach Taylor a chance. Right to me,

712
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: that's that's part of it. This guy came in and

713
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: it seemed like half the team got injured in his

714
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: first year there, and in the other half they're just

715
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: washing away. They're not even there anymore. You gotta give

716
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: this guy some players, and now he's got something. I

717
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: do wonder go ahead. No, I was just gonna say

718
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: it's It makes it seem like the Bengals are almost

719
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: self aware that they reviewed a certain way and they

720
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: need to make changes which would be highly welcome. Go ahead.

721
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: I just wonder if the effect of the that fan

722
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: base getting so apathetic. They probably right now have the

723
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: most apathetic fan base in the NFL. It no one's

724
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: in that stadium, And yeah, that is self awareness. Maybe

725
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: Mike Brown is looking at it and thinking, like, we

726
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: we cannot afford another one in fifteen season or else

727
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose this town. Maybe like maybe Paul Brown

728
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: appeared to him the way that like you know, like

729
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: Obi Wan Kenobi forced Ghost did does occasionally says clean

730
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: this up, son, Paul Brown appeared to him, he would

731
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: not be saying spend money. Oh well, fair, I didn't

732
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: get the reference mark, but I follow along. I knew

733
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: you didn't. It's a it's a it's an adventure science

734
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: fiction film that um came out in seven. Finally sequel

735
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: oh Devin Funcius uh Pelisero reports the Packers are expected

736
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: to sign Devin Funchius, so all their problems are taken

737
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: care of. Um Brian Guta Kans doesn't need to do

738
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: any more work on the wide receiver room because Devin

739
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: Funches is in the building. And now someone's gonna say yeah,

740
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: but he looked like he could have been a good

741
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: signing with the Cults until he broke his collar bone

742
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: in week one. All right, go ahead, get excited about

743
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: Devin Funches if I if I'm getting excited about Prescot Paramun,

744
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: you can get excited about Devin Funcis. Have fun with it,

745
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: had pass on both. How about that? Cool? I mean,

746
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: Funchs has some potential, but but does he really have

747
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: more potential than Alan Lazard? I don't know how much

748
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: more he does have the lizard. Finally, the news we've

749
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: all been waiting for. The Eagles signed cornerback Nickel Robi

750
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: Coleman n r C. So they pair and r C

751
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: with Darius Slay in their remade secondary And of course,

752
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: Ricky pop quiz your football nowled just really I would

753
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: imagine gone up tenfold since you joined our podcast. So

754
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you up with a little trivia. Nickel,

755
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman most famous and it's forever legacy in the

756
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: NFL will be the Saints game. The no call. Very good, Ricky,

757
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 1: that's my girl. Oh yeah, God love you. Anyway, he's

758
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: on the Eagles now. A nice, nice ball player, nice

759
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: ball player, a little aggressive. Yeah, you know yeah, another

760
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: team that made their secondary a little bit. They also

761
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: signed Will Parks from the Broncos, who had several teams

762
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: interested in his services. Can play either safety or nickel corner.

763
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: So they've got a pretty interesting secondary now, much better

764
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: than last year's. Hey, ultimately he helped you know, he

765
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: sent them to the super Bowl. I mean got a

766
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: little lucky with the no call there, but it's a

767
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: smart move, that's true. Um, Ricky, since you're you're let's

768
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: do a little heat check. Uh. Late last night or

769
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: early in the morning, the stimulus deal pasted in Washington.

770
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: Will we all be getting checks again? Not a joke?

771
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: I want to know. Does everyone get a check or

772
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: does certain people get checks? Who gets a check? Now

773
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: that this multi trillion dollar stimulus deal has been passed? Uh?

774
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just going to bail out the major companies,

775
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 1: right so they can pay their employees. Like I don't

776
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: Greg's shaking his head. Do you know more than I do?

777
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, Congress, Sorry, um no, they

778
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: families are getting it. You might get one there, Erica,

00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: because you don't you don't have a you know, a spouse. Yeah,

Speaker 1: hand into them and they're probably like, it's like a flat.

782
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: It's like a flat. Basically anyone that that filed you

824
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: the NFL the effects, this whole thing. So seven pm

825
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: Eastern on CNN. I was quarreling with the Cuomo brothers

826
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: on CNN on Monday night, so they they obviously said,

827
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: we've had enough of Dan. Let's try to get here.

828
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: I robbed a bank and went live on my Instagram

829
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: when I did it, Well, Mark and Dan, that practice

830
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: with Kaepernick in the sky Sports hit really has come

831
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: in handy for you guys. They must have seen that

832
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: and started to ask you about politics. Everything took off

833
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: the minute that we you know, we sat and completed

834
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: that eate minute assignment. Still to our heads, the most

835
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: surreal assignment, many surreal assignments at NFL media. But the

836
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: first year we went to London. Um, we went to

837
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: Sky Sports and they're obviously the four of us, and

838
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: they split us up into groups of two. Um Wes

839
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: and Greg Um sat on a couch with an attractive

840
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: woman who asked them questions about fantasy all fantasy questions

841
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: like what do you fancy most about fantasy football? Y'all experts,

842
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: and they were laughing it up and yucking it up,

843
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: and then we got sent down to this basement studio.

844
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: It was like a hardcore newsroom, and we got put

845
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: under these hotlights with the two head anchors of Sky

846
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: Sports to be asked about what mark it was. It was,

847
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: I believe in three or four questions in a row

848
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: about Kaepernick, but they were also pressed for time. It

849
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: was at the end of the hour, and so the

850
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: minute they asked these like a bomb Kaepernick questions, which

851
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: we were practiced not to you know, we were not

852
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: thinking that was coming. They're like, please go go like

853
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: without verbally, like nonverbally like move, move, moved through your answer.

854
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: So Dan and I were just like sting. And then

855
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: to make clear, it wasn't even Sky Sports, it was

856
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: just Sky It was part of the stage. So we

857
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: we basically we went back up at the elevator like

858
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: two guys that had seen too much in war. We

859
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: couldn't believe. But we were just basically being the mountain

860
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: for their billion dollar NFL about the health of the

861
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: league and concussions and Colin Kaepernick. And then as we

862
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 1: get back to the holding area, there's Greg and West

863
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: kick back with their hands on their heads back fantasy

864
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: is just the game and what we people realize that

865
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot better off. That that created a

866
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: division between the group that did not cease for the

867
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: rest of the trip. Yeah, we were drinking tea, I

868
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: believe at the time. And then the next year you

869
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: actually you made a made it clear that West and

870
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: I had to do the sky News hit that you're

871
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: thinking it was gonna be like ultimate payback, But it

872
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: was a totally relaxed situation there too. Yeah. They weren't

873
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: like hard hitting off. They were just like, hey, what

874
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: do you think about like football in England? That's great,

875
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,880
