1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: What is up, Straight Firefan, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight

Speaker 2: Boyer for Tuesday, March the tenth. I know everybody's locked

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: in on March, but oh my gosh, this is gonna

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: be an NFL podcast. I cannot believe what has happened

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: on Monday and free agency obviously March madness. You know,

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: I love it. It's one one month out of the year.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: It's less than that. It's really like eleven days right

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: when you count the first couple of weekends. But today's

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: slate of college basketball starts nine thirty AM, Yes, nine

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: thirty Baylor, Arizona State in the Big Twelve. I mean

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: there's games all day. I'm sorry, actually at eleven yeah,

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: and then at eleven Pittsburgh, Sanford, Sanford, Stanford as a

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: pro maybe a first round pick. You got the Big twelve.

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: As I mean it, really, the fun begins on Tuesday.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: There is a lot of games, and then Wednesday and

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Thursday there's a million games. It's so fun. I love it.

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: And you guys know, I'm a hoophead. Got a big

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: men's league game tonight. Let me get thirty second vent here.

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: I know you don't care. So we're in first place

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: for the last like four weeks. We beat the defending

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: champs in the regular season finale. We were missing our

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: big they were missing their best guy, and we're feeling great.

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: We get to buy semifinals tonight, and all of a sudden,

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: guys are like dropping like flies, and I'm just sitting here, like, guys,

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: it's all about the playoffs. You know, you got a

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: show for the playoffs, so I don't think we're gonna

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: pull it off. And you know I'm in another league

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: and we also semifinal game, same situation. Now this one's

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: a little different. He's got a work thing he doesn't

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: know if he can get out of. But oh man,

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: it's just painful, bro. Anyways, nobody cares about that. What

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: you care about is SGA step back three over Spencer

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Jones for the thunder win over the Nuggets. Actually pretty

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: good game. Lou Dort got a little goony there at

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: the end, clobbering Djokic and then okay, see kind of

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: melting down. But so many guys were missing from that game.

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: I think Caruso was out. Chet JDub Aaron Gordon's first

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: game back. I don't put too much stock in any

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: of it. It was just a great shot by SGA.

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: But this podcast is going to be all about the

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: NFL because so much happened. It was wild. Like historically,

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: NFL free agency has not mattered, but I think what

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: changed the game. You guys remember two years ago the

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: Eagles had a really good free agency. They added Saquon

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: Barkley and they won the Super Bowl. And I was like, oh, well,

47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: maybe free agency isn't a joke. The old adage was

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: you can't win the Super Bowl in March, which is

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: when free agency is right, that used to be it.

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: Then the Eagles did that last year. You know who

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: spent the most money. Oh yeah, New England Patriots whered.

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: They end up in the Super Bowl, didn't win it,

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: but they got there and it was a bit of

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: a surprise. So I wonder if the recent calculations, Hey,

55
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: teams are getting smarter. There's way more data, way more

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: more information out there. Perhaps teams are saying, you know what,

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: if we spend wisely in free agency, maybe we can

58
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: make a run. Now it's early, very early, and I'm

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: not gonna start with these teams, but the teams that

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: are spending the most. It's early, but we're not done.

61
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: There's gonna be more stuff happening all day and probably

62
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: the rest of the week. Tennessee Titans and the Raiders

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 2: seem to be early on spending the most money. But

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to start there. I want to start

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins. I thought, and a lot of

66
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: people piggybacked off this that they were tanking. Once they

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: start shedding guys, they start dumping, you know, Tyreek Hill,

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: let's dump Chubb. Yesterday they traded Minka Fitzpatrick to the Jets,

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: and it's like everybody's moving off guys. And the Dolphins

70
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: want to contend by going for the bottom and they

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: want to contend for arch Manning. It seemed like that

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: was the vibe. And then seemingly out of nowhere, the

73
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins decide we're gonna go get our guy, Malik Willis. Now,

74
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: usually when people make predictions, they're way off, especially for

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: like a Malik Willis, but there were some breadcrumbs. The

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: new head coach came from Green Bay defensive coordinator, but

77
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: he was able to see Willis in practice all the day.

78
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: Knows his war habits knows the effort he puts in,

79
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: don't knows what kind of guy he is. And the

80
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: GM also came from Green Bay, so very familiar with Willis. Now,

81
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: initially they didn't have the money. So what do you

82
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: do if you want something and you don't have the money?

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: You just start selling everything not nailed down. And now

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: suddenly boom, the Miami Dolphins come out with again. I

85
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: think this is a bit of a surprise. They grabbed

86
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: Malik Willis three years, sixty seven and a half million.

87
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna make you do the math. Essentially, forty

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: five million g guaranteed boils down to a two year

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: deal for forty five mil. Cut forty five and a half.

90
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: Malik Willis got twenty two and a half million per year.

91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: Remember the nonsense about thirty mil thirty five mil. Remember

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: that crap that was agent's feeding reporters, nonsense that was

93
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: never gonna happen. Essentially he got slightly more than Justin

94
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: Field's got with the Jets. Now, I don't know how

95
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: good Malik Willis is. I don't think anybody can know

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: how good he will be. This is what we know.

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: He threw thirty five passes last year, guys, that's it.

98
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: If you could make a judgment on thirty five passes

99
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: in an offense led by one of the sharper offensive

100
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: mines in the league, probably top ten offensive mine right

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: in Lafloor as a coach on a pretty good unit

102
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: with guys like Christian Watson, Dobbs. They had the great

103
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: tight end Tyler Kraft before he went down or sorry, Tuckerkraft,

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs. I mean, they had a great offense, and

105
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: when he came in in limited playing time, he did well.

106
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: The year prior through fifty four passes, got two wins.

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: So Malik Willis, guys, in four years in the NFL

108
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: too in Tennessee to in Green Bay has thrown one

109
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five passes. That's insane. That's like five

110
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: games worth of passes. That's it. That's why he couldn't

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: command top dollar. He just can't. I mean again, could

112
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: he gain manage his way to doing well with the

113
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: Packers in limited action? Yeah, coming off the bench, he's

114
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: top three backup in the league as a starter. I

115
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: don't freaking know, guys, I just don't. It doesn't make

116
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: sense to me that you'd pay him thirty thirty five.

117
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: I think the Dolphins got a great deal. Outstanding deal

118
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: for the Miami Dolphins. Here's the question, though, where are

119
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: you going with him? What's around him that makes you

120
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: excited about? So? Right now? The offensive line a lot

121
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: of questions, right, Devon Aschan, we like Jalen Wattle, we

122
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: like the rest of the wide receiver room has someone

123
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: named and Theo Weiz, Junior Des Gridge, Cedrick Wilson, Junior

124
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: Malik Washington, tight end room, Darren Waller, Greg Dulich, Julian Hill. Yeah,

125
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: offensive line is not worth writing home about. It's it's unproven.

126
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what the Miami strategy is. Is Willis

127
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: gonna get you enough to get you out of the

128
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: running for a top three pick. He might. Jets don't

129
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: have a quarterback yet, And as I record this late

130
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: Monday night, it looks like I mean the Jets honestly,

131
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: guys they're talking about like Spencer Rattler or Andy Darnold,

132
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Okay, Malik Willis is better than those guys.

133
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: I think we can agree. But the bottom line is,

134
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what the game plan is for the Dolphins.

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: Are they cleaning up their books. Well, I don't know.

136
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: Maybe they now absorb the largest dead cap hit in

137
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: NFL history for Tua ninety nine point two million dollars.

138
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: That is a lot. Reminds you of the great line

139
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: from Moneyball where Brad Pitt aka Billy Bean in the

140
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: movie tells David Justice, Oh no, this is how much

141
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: the Yankees think of you. They're paying you to play

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: for us. They don't want you on their team. They're

143
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: paying you to play for us. Tua, of course, then

144
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: goes and signs in Atlanta. A quick story on that

145
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: in a second. For the minimum one point two MILI.

149
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: So essentially, the Miami Dolphins said we would rather so

150
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: their quarterback room. They're paying quin viewers. Zach Wilson. I

151
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: don't know what's gonna happen with him. Maybe he's the

152
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: third guy and Tua all those guys on the books.

153
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: That is a metric ton of money sunk into quarterback.

154
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: So if they want to give the appearance of tanking

155
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: while starting Milik Willis, go for it. I don't know

156
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: what that's going to get you. They have three good

157
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: players in Milik Willis, h Hn and Waddle After that,

158
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: I have no clue. But the funny story about Tua

159
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: so early Monday morning, like I think one of the

160
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: first things I saw when I woke up was Tua

161
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: Is talking or I don't know how Schefter and all

162
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: these guys framed it, but they all had the same thing. Basically,

163
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: Tua is taught in talks with the Atlanta Falcons. You

164
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: guys know what that means. You don't leak talks. If

165
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: it's going your way, you want to keep that quiet,

166
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: get the deal done, sign make your money. Obviously, Tua's

167
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: agent was trying to get more than the minimum, trying

168
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: to get a bidding more started. So they float this

169
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: to the reporters, Hey, Tua's talking to Miami, and essentially

170
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: the rest of the league shrugged their shoulders. It was

171
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: like great, have fun or sorry to is talking to Atlanta,

172
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: and the rest of the league collectively just was like, eh, meh,

173
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: don't care. And so Tua ends up signing for the

174
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: minimum in Atlanta. They announced it later on Monday, That's

175
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: how the game is played. That's how your sausage is made.

176
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: When players aren't getting the deal they want, their agent

177
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: floats it in hopes of getting a bidding war, getting

178
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: other people to say, oh wow, this is just Trey

179
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: hendrickson this. Oh oh, you know Daniel joneses. That's how

180
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: the game is played. And obviously, you know, two just

181
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: didn't really have a market, so two it goes to Atlanta.

182
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: He'll battle Michael Pennox when Penix is healthy. Unfortunately, I

183
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: saw some not nice jokes about the quarterback room in Atlanta.

184
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: You know, obviously Tool with concussions and Pennix with like

185
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's had like five surgeries on his knees.

186
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: It's not great. But actually, I don't even think Atlanta.

187
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: You know, I love to back Atlanta in that division

188
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: like an idiot. They kicking my teeth every year. I

189
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: think you've got to go to Carolina. But believe it

190
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: or not, the Carolina Panthers, folks, big freaking winners. I'm

191
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: not even capping. Hold up. They got two high impact

192
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: starters on defense, Devin Lloyd, who was an All Pro

193
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: linebacker last year. Now did you buy at the top

194
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: of the market. Probably he was unbelievable. Had to pick

195
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: six against Mahomes on Monday Night Football. That really made

196
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: his year. But he got twenty five guaranteed. And then

197
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips, the edge rusher from Philly, they stole him.

198
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: So you just plug it into you know, an all

199
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: Pro and a high end guy in Phillips. Now, Phillips

200
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: is interesting because he's never had double digit sacks. He's active,

201
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: he's disruptive, but he also had the achilles, he had

202
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: the ACL so he's had some injuries. If he could

203
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 2: stay healthy and he was last year, you know that

204
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 2: there's something there. But I think the Panthers, remember their

205
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: offense was cooking. They lit up the Rams twice. I

206
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: think the Panthers are the team to beat in that division.

207
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: That would be my only takeaway from that awful division.

208
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: Now I'll start talking about good teams. I think way

209
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: too much is being made of the Kansas City Chiefs

210
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: a signing Kenneth Walker to the most money guaranteed ever

211
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: for a running back in free agency. I think way

212
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: too much is being made of that guys. I mean, sure,

213
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: it enables defenses to not stack the box and against

214
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: the Chiefs because you know we can still go out

215
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Mahomes will beat you over the top, and so you

216
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: gotta go lighter boxes and Walker can have it can

217
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: kind of sort of cook. Interestingly, I don't know what

218
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: made me dig into this. So Walker played a lot

219
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: his first year, a little also second year. Then last

220
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: year he was hurt, and then this past season was

221
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: his biggest one. So he had two hundred twenty one carries,

222
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: sixty five in the postseason. Kase Charboney was hurt forty

223
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: catches total three hundred and twenty six touches, most of

224
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: his career by a significant amount. Okay, one of the

225
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: reasons I don't want to I'm not trying to hype

226
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: myself as a fantasy football guy. But I correctly nailed

227
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: Saquon two years ago going to the Eagles, and correctly

228
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: nailed Christian McCaffrey this past season with the Niners. They

229
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: were coming off light seasons in terms of carries. Now,

230
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they were both coming off injuries Giants

231
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: Saquon and Seamac as well. I'm telling you now I'm

232
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: not touching Seemac next year in fantasy. You guys see

233
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: the usage he had, it was off the charts, bouncing

234
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: back from that at his age, I just don't see

235
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: it happening. We'll we'll get to the Mike Evans thing

236
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: in a second, but essentially the Chiefs signed Kenneth Walker.

237
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 2: Everybody's all geeked. I get it, Okay, sure, so I

238
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: guess that means you're not taking Jeremiah Love You don't,

239
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: you don't need him? At nine and then Travis Kelce's back,

240
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: which is I think a surprise, but everybody's acting like,

241
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: oh the oh pro Travis Kelce's back. Guys, take a

242
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: look at his freakin' numbers. Cool, look at Travis Kelce's

243
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: numbers the last five years, totally declining in every category, targets, receptions, touchdowns.

244
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he's a depreciating asset. Is he a Hall

245
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: of Famer? Yeah? Is he a top seven tight end

246
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: in the history of the port? Certainly top five? Maybe?

247
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'm saying right now, is Travis

248
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: kelcey really gonna help you next year? Like, I'm sure

249
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: he's a great to have him as a locker room leader.

250
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: He didn't want to go out and missing the playoffs.

251
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: I mean Kenneth Walker and Travis kelce returning. This is it.

252
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, the wide receiver room. They

253
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: traded McDuffie and then they lose Jalen Watson, both of

254
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: those guys going to the Rams. Now, I will defend

255
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: the Chiefs a little bit here. They famously Brett Veach.

256
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: The GM has never signed a Chiefs cornerback that they

257
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: drafted to a second contract. Lugerius sneed, Tarvari's Ward, now McDuffie,

258
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: and now Watson. He just doesn't believe in that. I

259
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: guess he feels you could just go out and grab cornerbacks.

260
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: Our scouts are awesome. We get good cornerbacks and we

261
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: plug a man and they're effective. Okay, you're now replacing

262
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: both starting cornerbacks.

263
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: Geez.

264
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, maybe maybe Kenneth Walker is amazing. It's

265
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: possible that Travis kelcey recaptures his old form. You know,

266
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: he's a married guy now he's living in the gym

267
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: in the offseason instead of vacationing, and Kelsey returns to

268
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: all profile. That's possible, and they're good. I saw they

269
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: re signed Taekwon Thornton. You know, they got Rashid Rice

270
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: if you're I'm just telling you, guys, I'm I still

271
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: need to see a lot from the Chiefs. I actually

272
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: think the Chargers had been having a great offseason. I

273
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: don't make this make sense, folks. So the GM of

274
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: the Chargers drafted Charlie Kohlar, tight end out of Iowa

275
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: State when the GM was in Baltimore. So now Coohlar,

276
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: who was a third string tight end behind Andrews and

277
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: likely mostly a blocker, becomes a free agent. These are

278
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: his stats from last year, and that reminder he's a

279
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: blocking tight end, so obviously he's not going to pad

280
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: the stats. Ten catches, one hundred and forty two yards,

281
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: two touchdowns for this season. I mean that's like Kyle

282
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Pitts against the Bucks. He got seventeen million dollars guaranteed.

283
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Is that an overpay? I don't

284
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: understand that at all. So they did lose Will Disley.

285
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: They've got Gadsden, who looked good. They must know something

286
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: about Cholie Colar that nobody else does. Maybe he can

287
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: be a sixth offensive lineman. Essentially, he's that good of

288
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: a blocker. We'll find out. And they got alex Ingold

289
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: the fullback from Miami. He reunites with Mike McDaniel, and

290
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: they got a guard from Miami, Cole Strange. So essentially

291
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: they're loading up now. I did see it. Don't love this.

292
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: The Chargers dump mcguy Beckton, and they lost Zion Johnson,

293
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: so they lose both guards and their center retired, so

294
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: they're replacing the entire interior offensive line. Now. They got

295
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: Tyler Biadzy. I can't say his name. He was at

296
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: Washington and Dallas. He's fine, okay, And then you get

297
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: one guard in Cole Strange, and then you got to

298
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: find another guard, probably in the draft. I don't know, guys,

299
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: the offensive line just get the Chargers ever figure the

300
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: damn thing out. I don't have the answer to that.

301
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do Seattle because they are hemorrhaging players

302
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: at this point. I think they've lost or five or

303
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 2: six starters. It's not one thousand percent clear to me obviously.

304
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: Uh And they lost their offensive coordinator, which is huge.

305
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,239
Speaker 2: I mean, not a hot take. I don't see them

306
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: repeating next year. The tight end room is back. The

307
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: they re signed Rashid Shaheed, which is good. Looks like

308
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: Cooper Cupp is staying. I believe they will have one

309
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: new offensive lineman. I'm not certain because again everything's moving

310
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: and fluid. They definitely lost a safety, they lost Boye

311
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: Mafe the edge rusher, they lost a linebacker, and we're

312
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: tbd on Tyreek Woolen and who didn't end up being

313
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: a starter at the end of the year. But essentially

314
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: they've lost a lot of guys and they're oc. Yeah,

315
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: let's go to the Niners who signed Mike Evans. So

316
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: everybody's freaking out, Oh my gosh, Mike Evins, Are you

317
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: really paying that much money for an old wide receiver?

318
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: Mike Evans, Yeah, he had a great career, but what

319
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: do you do with Niners? Well, Mike Evans is thirty two.

320
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: He's gonna be thirty three in August. Mike Evans got

321
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: three years forty two point four mil, but only sixteen

322
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 2: point three million guaranteed, So essentially you could argue this

323
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: is a one year, sixteen million dollar deal. I don't

324
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: hate that. I mean, Mike Evan's probably gonna replace Jennings

325
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: and we know they hate him. He's gone. Guy didn't

326
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: show up, took the bag, literally ran and never showed

327
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: up again. So now you've got Evans, the guy who

328
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: got shot. I'm spacing on his name. Obviously, Kittle's coming

329
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: off of major injury. I don't know what to do

330
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: with the Niners next year. I'm nervous about c mac Oh,

331
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 2: it's Ricky Pearsall's the guy who got shot. Kittle obviously

332
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: coming off of major injury. Trent Williams is old. It

333
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: kind of sort of feels like a last hurrah. Maybe

334
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: I saw they have the most travel yard miles in

335
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: the history of the NFL that we go to Mexico

336
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: and Australia. So tough one for the Niners. What other

337
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: notes do I have here? Oh, this is kind of

338
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: more funny than anything. But you know, I'm bullish on

339
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: the Titans. Now. I was a little early on them

340
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: this past year. Remember I wasn't wrong. I was just early.

341
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes a year early. It cost me in some futures.

342
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: Robert Sala head coach, Brian Dabole OC And then they

343
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: go out and they get Wandale Robinson, who thrived in

344
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: Brian daboles offense, especially when Neighbors went down. Wondale Robinson

345
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: looked pretty damn good last year. Anybody who plays Fantasy

346
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: definitely picked him up because he was cooking for like

347
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: the last half of the season. So I guess he's

348
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: your two in Tennessee. Io Minor the wide receiver from Stanford,

349
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: probably their three. Maybe Wandale goes to the slot Ao

350
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: Minor outside. I don't know. Calvin Ridley's doesn't sound like

351
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: he's long there. I would not be shocked if they

352
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: went Carnell Tait at four, the receiver from Ohio State.

353
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: I think they'll have that in my next mock. But

354
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: they also went and got a former Robert Sala guy

355
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: in Franklin Myers from Denver play inside and out. Remember

356
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: Sala got one of his other guys, Jermaine Johnson from

357
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: the Jets. So Salaw is going to get his guys,

358
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: Brian Dable's going to get his guys, and they're kind

359
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: of joining forces in Tennessee. I think that's fun. And again,

360
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: you work with this is not that different from work, right,

361
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: You work with somebody and then you get a new

362
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: job and you're hiring a team, and you go hire them.

363
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: My brother deals with this all the time in his

364
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: pharmaceutical sales gig. And this works in sports television, you know,

365
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: you work with producers, then you get a show and

366
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: you bring those producers like this pretty standard operating procedure.

367
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: And obviously, if you work with this coach this closely

368
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: and you have success and you think they're good, you

369
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: want to go play for them. There is an inverse

370
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: which you may like.

Speaker 1: listen live.

375
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: So I was surprised that the Colts traded Michael Pittman.

376
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: It came on the heels. The Colts are a bit

377
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: of a mess, and it listen. I don't want to

378
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: be too harsh on the Colts because at some point

379
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: you've got to applaud teams for swinging. They went all

380
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: in last year going after Sauce Gardner. They were hot,

381
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: and then it all fell apart. Daniel Jones gets hurt,

382
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: the team craters and they missed the playoffs. They decide,

383
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: you know what, the coach in the GM did a

384
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 2: good job. We're bringing it back. And so now they

385
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: have a decision to make with Daniel Jones. And according

386
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: to some reports and incredible people this isn't like fly

387
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: by Night garbage. The Colts essentially presented they had the

388
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 2: tag situation right that you could do the franchise tag

389
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 2: or the transition tag. Transition tag is hey, you can

390
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: go out and get another offer. If you do, great

391
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: more power to you take that offer. You can bounce.

392
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: So the Colt's plan, I think, had been to franchise tag,

393
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: pierce the wide receiver, and they would offer Daniel Jones

394
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: a contract, he would sign it and then they're great.

395
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: So according to the reports, the Colts said, hey, DJ,

396
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: three years, one hundred million. You know, we'll give you,

397
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, fifty million guaranteed, whatever the number is.

398
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, who remember, drove a hard bargain with the giants.

399
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones came back to them and said, I want

400
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: fifty million a year. And at that point the Colts

401
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: are like, bro, you're coming off on Achilles. We like you,

402
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: but come on, that's insane. So what happened transition tag.

403
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones now has permission to go try to get

404
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: his fifty million on the market. He ain't gonna sniff that.

405
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: So now you use the transition tag. You can't franchise

406
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: tag Peers, So you got to pay him, and they

407
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 2: overpay Piers slight overpay for one hundred and sixteen mil

408
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: four years, hundred sixteen mil. And listen, he's good, but

409
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean he's getting like twenty eight million

410
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: dollars a year, guys, again, more power to him. You know,

411
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: he was a contested catch legend last year deep ball

412
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: maven I was digging into the yards per route run.

413
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: And he was great against zone, just great. He was

414
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: good against man, not great, good. And now there's no

415
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 2: Pittman underneath. Now maybe you can find find a Pittman.

416
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: I thought Pittman was a really good receiver, which brings

417
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: us to Pittman. So anyways, the Colts are kind of

418
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: up the creek, right. So now they got a quarterback

419
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: who wants a lot of money. He got transition tagged.

420
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: They've got Saft Gardner, They've got Peers who they overpaid,

421
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: they got Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren. Like, they got a

422
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: good team.

423
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't.

424
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: I think they entered the season third in the division. Right,

425
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: They're not better than the Texans and the Jags, even

426
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 2: though they lost Etn and Lloyd. Jags are so better.

427
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: So that's a tough one for the Colts. I would

428
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 2: not be surprised if they finished in a cellar Tennessee Titans.

429
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: Like I just said, erow pointing up for them. Anyways,

430
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: So to Michael Pittman. So last year Pittman had a

431
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: good year, not a great year.

432
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: He's good.

433
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: I mean again, is he a top ten receiver in

434
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: the league? I fringe ish. I like him. The guy's good.

435
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: But his season last year, if you look at the numbers,

436
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: you're like, this is a top ten receiver? J mac

437
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: on what planet? He had eighty catches for seven hundred

438
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: and eighty four yards seven touchdowns. Drilled down a little deeper, guys,

439
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: are you ready for this? How many one hundred yard

440
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: games did Michael Pittman have last year? I'll spoil it

441
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: for you. He had one. It just so happened to

442
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: come against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had nine catches on

443
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: twelve targets for a buck fifteen in that loss to Pittsburgh.

444
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: They could not guard him. So what do you do?

445
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: You got your trade for him, and now you got

446
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman opposite DK Metcalf, which is actually I don't

447
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: hate that at all. Dk Metcalf stretches the field like

448
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: Pierce did, and Michael Pittman's kind of you're underneath guy.

449
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: That's not bad, right your running back room? You got better.

450
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: You got Rico Dowdell to join with Jalen Warren kind

451
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: of a doubt, a little bit of a thumper, Warren

452
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 2: kind of a do it all guy. They lose Kenneth

453
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: Gainwell and the wide receiver pairing Metcalf at Pittman, solid

454
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: Friarmuth at tight end, Darnel Washington, a big kid from Georgia.

455
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: It's like, oh wow, something here, and then you look

456
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: at the quarterback situation and Aaron Rodgers is currently in

457
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: parts unknown and it's gonna be either Duck Rudolph or

458
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: Will Howard. Now maybe that maybe this gives them an

459
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 2: opportunity to say, Hey, Aaron, we're gonna play some hardball

460
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: with you. We don't have a lot of money, but

461
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: we got a great team. You want to come play

462
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: with us, or you want to go out with your

463
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: last past being a pick six. If not, fine, we'll

464
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: just pop Will how in there. We'll be fine because

465
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: Will Howard's gonna have some some dudes to throw to

466
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: and a couple good running backs. And I'm not gonna

467
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: lie that the Doubtle Warren pairing is good and Metcalf

468
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: Pittman is is good as well. Now on defense, you know,

469
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: we'll see. Didn't love the defense last year. TJ wat

470
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: getting old defensive line not that impressive. I still don't

471
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: know how they made the playoffs with then that lucky

472
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: ending to the season against the Ravens. But I don't

473
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: know what to make of the Steelers quarterback will be

474
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: big for them. So I think we covered most of

475
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: the chaos. Cowboys stupid trade for Rashaan Gary. I mean,

476
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what they were thinking there. That was

477
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: Rashaon Gary essentially went online and posted, yeah, it was

478
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: a great run in Green Bay. Thank you. I'm out,

479
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: and within like everybody's like, whoa, I guess they're cutting

480
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: Rashaan Gary within like twenty minutes they had he had

481
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: to take it down, and then what do you know,

482
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 2: like a day or two later, the Cowboys trade for

483
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: a guy who is gonna get cut. I mean it

484
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: is just embarrassing stuff. Embarrassing They give up a fourth

485
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: round pick for a guy who is gonna get cut.

486
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, this is good, this is Dallas.

487
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones just he doesn't get it. We'll talk to

488
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: Rob g about the Raiders. They did a lot. They

489
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 2: overpaid Linderbaum, highest contract for a center in NFL history.

490
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 2: I don't think it's the worst deal in the world

491
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: because your quarterbacks on the rookie deal, and you want

492
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: your quarterback to start with one of the best in

493
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: the sport, and he's got that at center. They got

494
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: a couple good defenders. They're shopping in the SEC with

495
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: Kawi Walker and Nikobe Dean. They picked up a couple

496
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: of corners, Tarron Johnson Eric Stokes for the top sixty

497
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: seven picks. I'm not saying they're gonna make a Patriots

498
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: type leap, but there's a world where this team wins.

499
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: I gotta see the schedule, But like, eight games, is

500
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: that crazy? I like Mendoza, but if they win seven

501
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: or eight games, I would not be shocked. But you

502
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: know what that means. That means either the Broncos or

503
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: the Chargers or the Chiefs they're not delivering like everybody

504
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: thinks they are. So that division's tough, Both Western divisions,

505
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: very very tough, all right, that's it for a jam

506
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: Pack Tuesday. You're back tomorrow, probably back to college basketball tomorrow,

507
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 2: but we'll see, we'll see. I'll talk to you then
