1 00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,666 Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the 2 00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:23,546 Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, This is 3 00:00:23,546 --> 00:00:26,826 Speaker 1: Peter Schreger. This is the Season with Peter Schreger. And 4 00:00:26,826 --> 00:00:29,306 Speaker 1: as you know, our best shows are in the off 5 00:00:29,426 --> 00:00:32,986 Speaker 1: season when we are reacting to free agency and draft news. 6 00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:36,226 Speaker 1: Last week we had Mike Garatfolo on to set the table. 7 00:00:36,626 --> 00:00:39,346 Speaker 1: And now as I am recording this, it is three 8 00:00:39,466 --> 00:00:41,346 Speaker 1: hours into free agency. 9 00:00:41,466 --> 00:00:42,626 Speaker 2: So we started at twelve. 10 00:00:42,666 --> 00:00:46,026 Speaker 1: We're recording this at three pm Eastern, and we'll call 11 00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:47,906 Speaker 1: this an emergency pod, which. 12 00:00:47,746 --> 00:00:49,466 Speaker 2: Is something that Bill Simmons I think coined. 13 00:00:49,866 --> 00:00:53,586 Speaker 1: But it's our instant reaction to the first wave of 14 00:00:53,706 --> 00:00:54,786 Speaker 1: free agent moves. 15 00:00:54,986 --> 00:00:56,106 Speaker 2: And I will tell. 16 00:00:55,986 --> 00:00:59,826 Speaker 1: You the big one to me is what went down 17 00:00:59,986 --> 00:01:04,666 Speaker 1: just now with the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets. 18 00:01:05,506 --> 00:01:07,826 Speaker 1: And we have dominant that are still about to follow. 19 00:01:07,906 --> 00:01:11,026 Speaker 1: We'll be on Twitter throughout this show, so we're gonna 20 00:01:11,026 --> 00:01:14,426 Speaker 1: do good thirty forty minutes right now, and if we 21 00:01:14,506 --> 00:01:16,866 Speaker 1: get more quarterback news, we will report it. But I 22 00:01:16,906 --> 00:01:19,826 Speaker 1: said it throughout Good Morning Football this morning, and I 23 00:01:19,906 --> 00:01:22,986 Speaker 1: said it throughout the week. The first domino to fall 24 00:01:23,066 --> 00:01:26,826 Speaker 1: will be Stafford. The second domino to fall will be 25 00:01:26,946 --> 00:01:30,266 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. The third will be Justin Fields. And then 26 00:01:30,306 --> 00:01:34,426 Speaker 1: there is this see of names, and it includes Daniel Jones, 27 00:01:34,586 --> 00:01:38,586 Speaker 1: it includes Aaron Rodgers, it includes Russell Wilson, It quickly 28 00:01:38,826 --> 00:01:44,226 Speaker 1: includes a Carson Wentz, It quickly includes a mac Jones. 29 00:01:44,426 --> 00:01:47,946 Speaker 1: And there are seats to be filled. So my instant 30 00:01:47,986 --> 00:01:51,546 Speaker 1: reactions Sam Donald. All along the thought was he would 31 00:01:51,546 --> 00:01:55,226 Speaker 1: come back on a short term deal, two years, maybe 32 00:01:55,266 --> 00:01:59,066 Speaker 1: forty million, to go back to the Minnesota Vikings. But 33 00:01:59,106 --> 00:02:03,826 Speaker 1: when the Seattle Seahawks traded Gino Smith to Vegas, there 34 00:02:03,866 --> 00:02:05,946 Speaker 1: was a giant void at quarterback for them. They go 35 00:02:05,986 --> 00:02:09,666 Speaker 1: and they get Sam Donald. I like this deal. I 36 00:02:09,666 --> 00:02:13,346 Speaker 1: think the money's right. Three years, one hundred million, so 37 00:02:13,386 --> 00:02:16,746 Speaker 1: you're saying about thirty three million dollars a year, which 38 00:02:16,746 --> 00:02:19,106 Speaker 1: puts him in that middle tier of quarterbacks. He also 39 00:02:19,186 --> 00:02:23,586 Speaker 1: gets fifty five million dollars guaranteed. Finally, at this stage 40 00:02:23,586 --> 00:02:26,346 Speaker 1: in his career, Sam Donald gets the love and appreciation. 41 00:02:26,466 --> 00:02:29,426 Speaker 1: He's still wanted. He's the official quarterback one. There is 42 00:02:29,466 --> 00:02:32,826 Speaker 1: no debate there in Seattle. I don't know if Sam 43 00:02:32,866 --> 00:02:36,946 Speaker 1: Donald's great. I still don't seventeen weeks of amazing football. 44 00:02:36,946 --> 00:02:39,706 Speaker 1: But I will tell you this his best game. And 45 00:02:39,786 --> 00:02:42,146 Speaker 1: it could be debatable whether it was some of the 46 00:02:42,146 --> 00:02:44,106 Speaker 1: big yards he put up, or the comeback he had 47 00:02:44,146 --> 00:02:46,266 Speaker 1: against the Bears, or the overtime he had in Chicago 48 00:02:46,306 --> 00:02:47,106 Speaker 1: where he came all the way. 49 00:02:46,986 --> 00:02:47,626 Speaker 2: Back last year. 50 00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,626 Speaker 1: But I think his best game, his clutches game, his 51 00:02:49,706 --> 00:02:52,306 Speaker 1: gutsy his performance was Week sixteen in Seattle. 52 00:02:52,866 --> 00:02:54,986 Speaker 2: They're down twenty four to twenty. 53 00:02:55,066 --> 00:02:57,826 Speaker 1: Late, he leads them back, throws the touchdown to Justin 54 00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:02,146 Speaker 1: Jefferson in the end zone. Donald that day completed twenty 55 00:03:02,186 --> 00:03:04,546 Speaker 1: six passes for you know, I think it was like 56 00:03:04,586 --> 00:03:05,666 Speaker 1: twenty six to thirty one. 57 00:03:05,706 --> 00:03:08,826 Speaker 2: Did it in seat in the elements, with all. 58 00:03:08,626 --> 00:03:12,026 Speaker 1: Of the pressure in the world on him, and did 59 00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:16,146 Speaker 1: that while throwing three touchdowns no interceptions, having a fourth 60 00:03:16,226 --> 00:03:19,786 Speaker 1: quarter comeback on Mike McDonald's defense. Now, I don't know 61 00:03:19,786 --> 00:03:22,266 Speaker 1: if McDonald and John Schneider, we'll get the full story 62 00:03:22,306 --> 00:03:22,946 Speaker 1: in the coming day. 63 00:03:22,946 --> 00:03:24,826 Speaker 2: I don't know if they saw this three steps ahead. 64 00:03:24,826 --> 00:03:27,946 Speaker 1: But when their negotiations with Gino went off the rails 65 00:03:27,946 --> 00:03:30,546 Speaker 1: a little bit and Gino was talking million forty five 66 00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:33,346 Speaker 1: million at thirty five years old, it quickly made them 67 00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:36,186 Speaker 1: pivot and said, well, what other options are there? Donald 68 00:03:36,226 --> 00:03:39,186 Speaker 1: now goes up to Seattle, where he'll play at an 69 00:03:39,186 --> 00:03:42,306 Speaker 1: outdoor stadium in the weather, in the elements. 70 00:03:42,386 --> 00:03:45,186 Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes. Remember he's a West Coast kid. 71 00:03:45,306 --> 00:03:48,226 Speaker 1: His career in New York was not not anything to 72 00:03:48,266 --> 00:03:51,746 Speaker 1: write home about. He then bounced around from Carolina to 73 00:03:51,826 --> 00:03:56,586 Speaker 1: San Francisco to this dream season in Minnesota, which was mostly. 74 00:03:56,226 --> 00:03:59,066 Speaker 2: Done in that dome inside. 75 00:03:59,146 --> 00:04:01,466 Speaker 1: So we'll see how he reacts and how he responds. 76 00:04:01,506 --> 00:04:04,306 Speaker 1: So what are the trickle down effects of that? Well, 77 00:04:04,386 --> 00:04:08,586 Speaker 1: the Jets quickly, quickly, right after we got our news 78 00:04:08,626 --> 00:04:11,986 Speaker 1: out of Seattle, the Jets finally, you know, it's like 79 00:04:12,026 --> 00:04:14,026 Speaker 1: smoke coming from the Vatican because we haven't heard a 80 00:04:14,066 --> 00:04:17,106 Speaker 1: word from them since Darren Mugi and Aaron Glen took over. 81 00:04:17,146 --> 00:04:19,226 Speaker 1: As far as you know, what they wanted to do, 82 00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:21,386 Speaker 1: their intentions, there have been no leaks in that building. 83 00:04:22,146 --> 00:04:24,626 Speaker 1: They go and they signed Justin Fields for two years 84 00:04:24,906 --> 00:04:28,946 Speaker 1: forty million. So that's twenty million a year for Justin Fields, 85 00:04:28,986 --> 00:04:31,786 Speaker 1: it's thirty three million dollars a year for Sam Darnald. 86 00:04:32,746 --> 00:04:34,146 Speaker 2: Who would you rather have that situation? 87 00:04:34,186 --> 00:04:36,546 Speaker 1: I think you'd say Donald based on the track record 88 00:04:36,626 --> 00:04:38,546 Speaker 1: and the numbers that he put up last year, but 89 00:04:38,666 --> 00:04:42,906 Speaker 1: Fields provides a running element. Fields, of Course was college 90 00:04:42,986 --> 00:04:48,186 Speaker 1: quarterback to Garrett Wilson. Fields of Course has this upside 91 00:04:48,266 --> 00:04:50,786 Speaker 1: where you feel like the scratch of the surface just 92 00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:54,746 Speaker 1: has begun. So those are the first two dominoes to 93 00:04:54,786 --> 00:04:57,226 Speaker 1: drop at quarterback. I am going to bring on a 94 00:04:57,266 --> 00:04:59,266 Speaker 1: guest in a little bit, and we had him on 95 00:04:59,746 --> 00:05:02,426 Speaker 1: when the Jets were doing their their coach and GM search. 96 00:05:02,506 --> 00:05:04,546 Speaker 2: His name is Danny, and I call him Danny from 97 00:05:04,586 --> 00:05:04,906 Speaker 2: lot E. 98 00:05:05,066 --> 00:05:08,066 Speaker 1: Because that's where he tailgates with the kebab guy for 99 00:05:08,106 --> 00:05:10,546 Speaker 1: those Jets games. He gave up his Jets season tickets 100 00:05:10,626 --> 00:05:13,986 Speaker 1: after last year, in a fit of rage, gave him up, 101 00:05:13,986 --> 00:05:16,626 Speaker 1: So I'm not paying money to go see this team anymore. 102 00:05:16,906 --> 00:05:20,906 Speaker 1: They have since hired a new head coach, a new GM, 103 00:05:21,266 --> 00:05:24,026 Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator, a new defensive coordinator, have an 104 00:05:24,146 --> 00:05:27,386 Speaker 1: entirely new front office, and I'm curious to check in 105 00:05:27,426 --> 00:05:30,026 Speaker 1: with Danny on Howie feels about his new quarterback one 106 00:05:30,546 --> 00:05:33,466 Speaker 1: being justin Fields. But before we get there, what other 107 00:05:33,546 --> 00:05:36,706 Speaker 1: spots are still vacant? As we record this, the Giants 108 00:05:36,786 --> 00:05:40,746 Speaker 1: still do not have a quarterback. My insight tells me 109 00:05:41,386 --> 00:05:45,506 Speaker 1: that the plan was to go big on Rogers, all right, 110 00:05:45,706 --> 00:05:51,146 Speaker 1: and hopefully that's. 111 00:05:49,426 --> 00:05:51,026 Speaker 2: Still the plan, and my information wasn't wrong. 112 00:05:51,066 --> 00:05:53,346 Speaker 1: Go big on Rogers, whatever that means, but show Rogers 113 00:05:53,346 --> 00:05:56,106 Speaker 1: their intention on bringing him in, and if Rogers doesn't, 114 00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:59,426 Speaker 1: then we pivot. But even if there's Rogers, the thought 115 00:05:59,466 --> 00:06:02,786 Speaker 1: is you sign Rogers to a deal, or if it's 116 00:06:03,186 --> 00:06:05,746 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz or Russell Wilson, and then you also address 117 00:06:05,786 --> 00:06:08,026 Speaker 1: it in the draft, and that might mean third overall. 118 00:06:08,186 --> 00:06:11,666 Speaker 1: I would say it could mean thirty fourth overall, which 119 00:06:11,666 --> 00:06:15,666 Speaker 1: they have that pick quarterbacks who could be targets. I 120 00:06:15,746 --> 00:06:17,906 Speaker 1: don't see cam Ward unless you trade up for one 121 00:06:18,026 --> 00:06:21,026 Speaker 1: being there at number three. So you start going down 122 00:06:21,026 --> 00:06:23,626 Speaker 1: the list and it's maybe Shador Sanders. But I really 123 00:06:23,746 --> 00:06:26,946 Speaker 1: like the sound of Jackson Dart to the Giants, So 124 00:06:27,306 --> 00:06:30,426 Speaker 1: in a ideal world for Giants fans, I think it's 125 00:06:30,546 --> 00:06:33,426 Speaker 1: Rogers for a year with Jackson Dart in the room. 126 00:06:33,906 --> 00:06:35,946 Speaker 1: If you listen to Zach Wilson, if you listen to 127 00:06:36,026 --> 00:06:38,746 Speaker 1: Jordan love Rogers as much as a monster. The media 128 00:06:38,746 --> 00:06:40,506 Speaker 1: made him out to be not a bad guy to 129 00:06:40,586 --> 00:06:44,306 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, and definitely was not. Brett Farv to him 130 00:06:44,506 --> 00:06:47,746 Speaker 1: is a giving guy, is a mentor in many ways 131 00:06:47,986 --> 00:06:50,946 Speaker 1: and has always been good to those younger quarterbacks in 132 00:06:50,946 --> 00:06:53,466 Speaker 1: the room, whether it be a Tim Boyle or a 133 00:06:53,546 --> 00:06:58,306 Speaker 1: Matt Flynn or in this case in recent years, Zach Wilson, 134 00:06:58,746 --> 00:07:02,866 Speaker 1: Jordan Travis, who is it whoever? I would think the 135 00:07:02,866 --> 00:07:06,346 Speaker 1: Giants would be very happy with a Jackson Dart long term. 136 00:07:06,186 --> 00:07:08,746 Speaker 2: And Aaron Rodgers short term. 137 00:07:08,906 --> 00:07:11,226 Speaker 1: But as you're listening to this, that plan might go 138 00:07:11,266 --> 00:07:14,226 Speaker 1: awry because there's talked that the Steelers, with fields now 139 00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:17,906 Speaker 1: out the door to the Jets, could be all in 140 00:07:17,946 --> 00:07:21,066 Speaker 1: on Rogers. Darnold was a talking point for the Steelers. 141 00:07:21,146 --> 00:07:24,786 Speaker 1: He's not going there. Russell Wilson was there last year. 142 00:07:24,866 --> 00:07:28,266 Speaker 1: We hear that they're moving on from him. So right now, 143 00:07:28,266 --> 00:07:30,666 Speaker 1: if you're Aaron Rodgers and were again, our three oh 144 00:07:30,746 --> 00:07:34,226 Speaker 1: seven pm Easterns is an emergency podcast. Is three hours 145 00:07:34,266 --> 00:07:38,146 Speaker 1: into free agency? Are you going to the Steelers or 146 00:07:38,186 --> 00:07:41,746 Speaker 1: the Giants? If the money is the same with the Steelers, 147 00:07:41,786 --> 00:07:45,586 Speaker 1: the Pros are probably a better roster, probably a more 148 00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:50,266 Speaker 1: established franchise as far as recent years goes. And then 149 00:07:50,746 --> 00:07:54,706 Speaker 1: probably a coach that you've long admired for the Giants. 150 00:07:54,906 --> 00:07:59,226 Speaker 1: The Pros are Brian Dables, an offensive head coach, the 151 00:07:59,266 --> 00:08:04,266 Speaker 1: Giants have Molik neighbors, and the Giants, well, you don't 152 00:08:04,266 --> 00:08:05,346 Speaker 1: have to uproot your life now. 153 00:08:05,386 --> 00:08:07,866 Speaker 2: Look, does he live in Malibu full time? 154 00:08:08,266 --> 00:08:11,186 Speaker 1: Does he spend time in all these other countries, traveling 155 00:08:11,466 --> 00:08:12,466 Speaker 1: and finding himself? 156 00:08:12,546 --> 00:08:12,826 Speaker 2: Yes? 157 00:08:13,386 --> 00:08:15,706 Speaker 1: Do I think Aaron Rodgers owning a home in Montclear, 158 00:08:15,746 --> 00:08:18,346 Speaker 1: New Jersey is going to be what breaks the tie here? 159 00:08:18,506 --> 00:08:19,906 Speaker 2: No, Aaron Rodgers can buy and. 160 00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:22,466 Speaker 1: Sell homes three hundred and sixty five days of the 161 00:08:22,506 --> 00:08:25,386 Speaker 1: year's plenty of money left over. He's made more money 162 00:08:25,386 --> 00:08:28,106 Speaker 1: as an NFL quarterback than any person in the history 163 00:08:28,106 --> 00:08:28,546 Speaker 1: of the game. 164 00:08:28,946 --> 00:08:31,066 Speaker 2: That said, if he likes his. 165 00:08:30,986 --> 00:08:33,586 Speaker 1: Community, if he likes being in the spotlight of New York, 166 00:08:33,626 --> 00:08:36,826 Speaker 1: if he likes having the comforts of being able to 167 00:08:36,866 --> 00:08:38,626 Speaker 1: stay where he lives and not having to uproot his 168 00:08:38,626 --> 00:08:42,586 Speaker 1: life again, there is something too staying with the Giants. 169 00:08:42,866 --> 00:08:46,346 Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers goes from being this discarded quarterback of 170 00:08:46,386 --> 00:08:49,226 Speaker 1: the Jets to now potentially being able to choose his 171 00:08:49,346 --> 00:08:54,466 Speaker 1: next home between those two franchises. Some quick other thoughts, 172 00:08:55,066 --> 00:08:58,506 Speaker 1: I would say, I like what the Patriots did and 173 00:08:58,546 --> 00:09:00,546 Speaker 1: I know I've already gotten crushed in my timeline for 174 00:09:01,146 --> 00:09:03,666 Speaker 1: positively talking about the Patriots just because they're. 175 00:09:03,506 --> 00:09:04,226 Speaker 2: Shlling out money. 176 00:09:04,266 --> 00:09:07,746 Speaker 1: But I think Milton Williams was the top free agent 177 00:09:07,826 --> 00:09:10,706 Speaker 1: in this in this entire free agent class that was 178 00:09:10,786 --> 00:09:13,946 Speaker 1: left over as far as you know, guys who were 179 00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:15,306 Speaker 1: ascending at that age. 180 00:09:15,346 --> 00:09:15,986 Speaker 2: They signed him. 181 00:09:16,066 --> 00:09:18,666 Speaker 1: Now, yes, twenty six million dollars a year is a ton, 182 00:09:18,746 --> 00:09:21,786 Speaker 1: but the money at this point, guys, it's it's fungible 183 00:09:22,186 --> 00:09:23,946 Speaker 1: in a way that next year the salard CAP's going 184 00:09:23,986 --> 00:09:25,306 Speaker 1: to go up even more than the new year after 185 00:09:25,306 --> 00:09:26,226 Speaker 1: that's going to go even more. 186 00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:27,146 Speaker 2: Like, don't get caught up. 187 00:09:27,026 --> 00:09:29,146 Speaker 1: On the money when it comes to these guys, because 188 00:09:29,146 --> 00:09:32,226 Speaker 1: the money's a lot, and the salary cap was completely changed. 189 00:09:32,226 --> 00:09:34,346 Speaker 1: So the Patriots had money going in, and then they 190 00:09:34,386 --> 00:09:36,826 Speaker 1: had even more money after that. So did they offer 191 00:09:36,906 --> 00:09:38,146 Speaker 1: him the most I don't know, but I know there 192 00:09:38,146 --> 00:09:41,146 Speaker 1: were other teams involved. I know that the Cardinals were interested. 193 00:09:41,226 --> 00:09:43,346 Speaker 1: I don't think the Panthers were as interested. I know 194 00:09:43,346 --> 00:09:45,426 Speaker 1: there were some tweets saying there that he had signed 195 00:09:45,426 --> 00:09:49,026 Speaker 1: with the Panthers. That's not anything that was worth you know, 196 00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:51,906 Speaker 1: retweeting or commenting on because that wasn't the case, and 197 00:09:51,906 --> 00:09:55,346 Speaker 1: it ends up going to the Patriots. Splaine Long has 198 00:09:55,386 --> 00:09:58,066 Speaker 1: been a good player, they get him, Morgan Moses, they 199 00:09:58,106 --> 00:10:00,826 Speaker 1: bring him in, and you go through the names and 200 00:10:00,906 --> 00:10:03,106 Speaker 1: yesterday Harold Landry, these are guys. 201 00:10:03,426 --> 00:10:04,066 Speaker 2: These are guys. 202 00:10:04,106 --> 00:10:06,426 Speaker 1: Now. I would still look at the Patriots and say 203 00:10:06,866 --> 00:10:10,026 Speaker 1: they need more on the offensive tackle position, and I 204 00:10:10,026 --> 00:10:12,426 Speaker 1: guess they'll go offensive line in the draft with that 205 00:10:12,466 --> 00:10:16,026 Speaker 1: fourth pick. Gosh will Campbell. Are we sure he's a 206 00:10:16,106 --> 00:10:18,146 Speaker 1: left tackle? Are we sure he's even a tackle at all? 207 00:10:18,226 --> 00:10:20,586 Speaker 1: Or is he a guard? That's really rich at fourth overall, 208 00:10:20,626 --> 00:10:23,426 Speaker 1: But that's the top offensive lineman in this draft if 209 00:10:23,426 --> 00:10:27,426 Speaker 1: they go that way. As of this recording, Patrick McCarry 210 00:10:27,706 --> 00:10:29,706 Speaker 1: is still not signed anywhere. 211 00:10:29,826 --> 00:10:31,586 Speaker 2: He's a great Ravens player. 212 00:10:31,986 --> 00:10:35,546 Speaker 1: Perhaps he's the guy that they go with and they 213 00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:36,746 Speaker 1: fill these holes with. 214 00:10:39,426 --> 00:10:42,066 Speaker 2: Some other stuff. As we're going through this the Chiefs. 215 00:10:42,346 --> 00:10:45,306 Speaker 1: You hate seeing them lose Joe Toney, they had to 216 00:10:45,306 --> 00:10:47,466 Speaker 1: do it. But I love what they've done the last 217 00:10:47,506 --> 00:10:50,586 Speaker 1: few days. They've continued to add players, bring back guys. 218 00:10:51,106 --> 00:10:54,546 Speaker 1: Nick Bolton a huge addition for Kansas City. Not gonna 219 00:10:54,586 --> 00:10:58,466 Speaker 1: steal any headlines. That was a big one. I'm just 220 00:10:58,546 --> 00:10:59,866 Speaker 1: going through these real quick here. 221 00:10:59,906 --> 00:11:02,346 Speaker 2: I like what the Bears did bringing in my guy Deo. 222 00:11:02,506 --> 00:11:05,986 Speaker 1: If you listened to last week's pod with Mike Garatfolo, 223 00:11:06,026 --> 00:11:09,586 Speaker 1: we discover mister Doo And if you're wondering who mister 224 00:11:09,626 --> 00:11:13,546 Speaker 1: Doo is, it's Indianapolis Colts for a few years there 225 00:11:13,746 --> 00:11:18,186 Speaker 1: and his name is Deo odeya Ingbo. And I've butchered 226 00:11:18,226 --> 00:11:21,266 Speaker 1: that on national television. I've putchered that on podcasts. But 227 00:11:21,666 --> 00:11:23,626 Speaker 1: Bear signed him the big money and he is a 228 00:11:23,666 --> 00:11:26,386 Speaker 1: twenty five year old pass rusher that is ascending. 229 00:11:26,746 --> 00:11:27,146 Speaker 2: The Bears. 230 00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:29,706 Speaker 1: Of course, pick up Joe Toney. The Bears have done 231 00:11:30,546 --> 00:11:33,586 Speaker 1: good work the last few days and they continue to 232 00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,946 Speaker 1: add and I think deyo is was right up there 233 00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:38,666 Speaker 1: with Milton Williams as one of the top young ascending 234 00:11:38,746 --> 00:11:43,546 Speaker 1: defensive front seven players. All right, those are my initial takes. 235 00:11:44,346 --> 00:11:47,026 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans, I have nothing for you. I know they 236 00:11:47,026 --> 00:11:50,346 Speaker 1: brought back big Osa and they did. They let Jordan 237 00:11:50,426 --> 00:11:52,546 Speaker 1: Lewis walk out the door and they've been silent otherwise. 238 00:11:52,746 --> 00:11:53,546 Speaker 2: Sorry about that. 239 00:11:54,946 --> 00:11:59,826 Speaker 1: Bengals fans, you bring back everybody but Higgins, Hendrickson and Chase. 240 00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:03,906 Speaker 1: We'll see how Higgins and Chase go and if they 241 00:12:03,946 --> 00:12:07,106 Speaker 1: can figure out a deal, and oh yeah, one rant 242 00:12:07,426 --> 00:12:11,746 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. I have no animosity towards Miles Garrett, but 243 00:12:12,066 --> 00:12:14,426 Speaker 1: I do want a lot of time and energy back 244 00:12:14,546 --> 00:12:16,266 Speaker 1: if you can give it to me. I spent a 245 00:12:16,266 --> 00:12:18,226 Speaker 1: lot of time on Good Morning Football talking about you 246 00:12:18,306 --> 00:12:21,066 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I said it all along. There 247 00:12:21,106 --> 00:12:22,946 Speaker 1: was no way the Browns were trading them. They have 248 00:12:23,026 --> 00:12:26,186 Speaker 1: made that clear, and in hindsight, as we go through 249 00:12:26,226 --> 00:12:28,866 Speaker 1: all this, everyone who freaked out about Jimmy HASLM not 250 00:12:28,986 --> 00:12:32,506 Speaker 1: wanting to sit with Miles Garrett. Shame on you. You 251 00:12:32,546 --> 00:12:34,666 Speaker 1: can't be You can't have it both ways. You can't 252 00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:39,386 Speaker 1: complain about Jerry Jones meddling or Woody Johnson meddling and 253 00:12:39,546 --> 00:12:42,626 Speaker 1: then also want the owner of the Browns to suddenly 254 00:12:42,706 --> 00:12:44,946 Speaker 1: drop everything and negotiate with a player. I don't care 255 00:12:44,946 --> 00:12:47,346 Speaker 1: who the player is. We can't have it both ways. 256 00:12:47,746 --> 00:12:50,026 Speaker 1: Do you want your owners heavily involved or do you 257 00:12:50,106 --> 00:12:52,466 Speaker 1: not want your owners heavily involved? Is the first thing 258 00:12:52,506 --> 00:12:55,026 Speaker 1: we hear, that these owners get too much involved and 259 00:12:55,106 --> 00:12:58,106 Speaker 1: let the GM do his job. Jimmy Haslam the Browns 260 00:12:58,386 --> 00:13:01,506 Speaker 1: distanced themselves that I'm not meeting with Miles Garrett. We 261 00:13:01,506 --> 00:13:03,546 Speaker 1: have two years left on the contract and two years 262 00:13:03,586 --> 00:13:05,906 Speaker 1: after that. Let the GM do it well. The GM 263 00:13:06,026 --> 00:13:08,346 Speaker 1: found to make Miles Garrett happy. It wasn't with a 264 00:13:08,386 --> 00:13:10,866 Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring. It wasn't with more players. It was 265 00:13:10,906 --> 00:13:14,226 Speaker 1: with more money. Miles Garrett wrote a passionate letter about 266 00:13:14,226 --> 00:13:17,066 Speaker 1: how all he cares about is winning a Lombardi. Miles 267 00:13:17,066 --> 00:13:19,066 Speaker 1: Garrett went on the Rich Eisend Show and spoke about 268 00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:22,866 Speaker 1: how there's no dollar amount, there's there's no there's no 269 00:13:22,986 --> 00:13:26,146 Speaker 1: money that it could be spent. There is nothing having 270 00:13:26,186 --> 00:13:28,386 Speaker 1: to do with being the highest non paid player that 271 00:13:28,426 --> 00:13:30,786 Speaker 1: will even change his mind. He needs to be traded. 272 00:13:30,786 --> 00:13:34,306 Speaker 1: He wants to be traded. Well, here's the issue. Doesn't 273 00:13:34,306 --> 00:13:35,826 Speaker 1: have a no trade clause. So they could have sent 274 00:13:35,866 --> 00:13:38,546 Speaker 1: them anywhere. This could have sende the NFL oblivion wherever 275 00:13:38,546 --> 00:13:39,586 Speaker 1: that is besides Cleveland. 276 00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:40,546 Speaker 2: They could have sent them there. 277 00:13:41,186 --> 00:13:44,826 Speaker 1: And forty million dollars should us speak and Miles Garrett, 278 00:13:45,506 --> 00:13:47,746 Speaker 1: his agent, Nicole lind did a fine job getting him 279 00:13:47,786 --> 00:13:50,506 Speaker 1: this money, and whatever the conversations were, he seems to 280 00:13:50,506 --> 00:13:54,306 Speaker 1: have had a change of heart quote unquote, So Miles Garrett, 281 00:13:54,306 --> 00:13:57,146 Speaker 1: it's amazing how that works, and I don't spite you. 282 00:13:57,306 --> 00:14:00,226 Speaker 1: I just wish we didn't spend so much energy super 283 00:14:00,226 --> 00:14:02,626 Speaker 1: Bowl Week, not talking about the Chiefs and Eagles, and 284 00:14:02,706 --> 00:14:05,626 Speaker 1: so much energy at the combine, not talking about Shador 285 00:14:05,666 --> 00:14:09,106 Speaker 1: and Kim War and all those guys, and instead talking 286 00:14:09,106 --> 00:14:12,306 Speaker 1: about Miles Garrett and his steadfast desire to be a 287 00:14:12,306 --> 00:14:14,506 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion. He will go back to the Browns 288 00:14:14,586 --> 00:14:17,106 Speaker 1: where he'll make forty million dollars and the team is 289 00:14:17,146 --> 00:14:20,746 Speaker 1: even more financially strapped to give him more assistance and 290 00:14:20,826 --> 00:14:24,866 Speaker 1: help as they were before this whole entire experience. All right, 291 00:14:25,066 --> 00:14:28,546 Speaker 1: quick instant reaction from our guy Danny from Lottie right 292 00:14:28,546 --> 00:14:28,866 Speaker 1: after this. 293 00:14:37,706 --> 00:14:40,826 Speaker 2: All right, no further ado. This is our guy. 294 00:14:40,866 --> 00:14:42,706 Speaker 1: We talked to him earlier this season when they were 295 00:14:42,746 --> 00:14:46,586 Speaker 1: about to start their coaching in GM higher process. He 296 00:14:46,666 --> 00:14:48,746 Speaker 1: is the biggest Jets fan I know, and they have 297 00:14:48,786 --> 00:14:51,986 Speaker 1: a new quarterback and Justin Fields. They also signed Justin 298 00:14:52,026 --> 00:14:54,866 Speaker 1: Fields with absolutely no leaks out of the building and 299 00:14:55,226 --> 00:14:58,746 Speaker 1: not a single negative story of the past few weeks 300 00:14:58,786 --> 00:15:01,546 Speaker 1: as far as dysfunction in the building. He is no 301 00:15:01,626 --> 00:15:04,306 Speaker 1: longer a season ticket holder, but he is my dear 302 00:15:04,346 --> 00:15:06,266 Speaker 1: friend who I like to play a little paddle with 303 00:15:07,186 --> 00:15:10,746 Speaker 1: and now we're talking a little paddling of the Jets 304 00:15:10,786 --> 00:15:14,826 Speaker 1: topic here, Danny from Lattie, how are you feeling Justin Fields? 305 00:15:14,866 --> 00:15:18,066 Speaker 1: Two years, forty million, New York Jets, new quarterback? 306 00:15:18,106 --> 00:15:19,066 Speaker 2: Are you buying the jersey? 307 00:15:20,026 --> 00:15:21,026 Speaker 3: What's going on? Shrakes? 308 00:15:21,026 --> 00:15:24,066 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on this crazy opening day, a 309 00:15:24,186 --> 00:15:25,186 Speaker 4: free agency. 310 00:15:24,906 --> 00:15:26,866 Speaker 2: Historic day where Twitter went down. 311 00:15:27,186 --> 00:15:29,226 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, back to my college days. 312 00:15:29,226 --> 00:15:32,666 Speaker 4: A refreshing pro football talk to see you know who 313 00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:36,906 Speaker 4: I'm going to be disappointed about next. But look, I 314 00:15:36,946 --> 00:15:40,346 Speaker 4: think Justin Fields is a low risk, high upside signing. 315 00:15:41,026 --> 00:15:43,106 Speaker 4: I wasn't banging the table for Justin like our other 316 00:15:43,146 --> 00:15:47,066 Speaker 4: paddle buddy, Eric. You know, half his dream offseason is 317 00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:50,066 Speaker 4: complete now with Fields. You know, in his perfect world, 318 00:15:50,106 --> 00:15:54,506 Speaker 4: Fields will be throwing to Tyler Warren. But look, with 319 00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:57,786 Speaker 4: what was available, I think this is the best outcome. 320 00:15:59,106 --> 00:16:02,906 Speaker 4: We couldn't go into the season riding Tyrod Taylor. You know, 321 00:16:03,266 --> 00:16:07,426 Speaker 4: Tyrod's a good guy, good spots starter. But with Dustin Fields, 322 00:16:08,386 --> 00:16:10,266 Speaker 4: you know, I look at it as you know, I 323 00:16:10,306 --> 00:16:12,346 Speaker 4: don't want to say a lot of ticket, but maybe 324 00:16:12,466 --> 00:16:15,706 Speaker 4: maybe you hit here. The money's not so big, it's 325 00:16:15,746 --> 00:16:21,546 Speaker 4: not a big commitment and Look, he's explosive and he 326 00:16:21,986 --> 00:16:25,626 Speaker 4: makes exciting plays. Maybe he can bring some life back 327 00:16:25,666 --> 00:16:30,026 Speaker 4: into MetLife. I don't I'm not upset at the signing. 328 00:16:30,106 --> 00:16:33,266 Speaker 4: And if you can't get if you look at fields. 329 00:16:33,906 --> 00:16:36,826 Speaker 4: He ended twenty twenty three on a high note. The 330 00:16:36,866 --> 00:16:40,426 Speaker 4: last seven games he was four and three, threw for 331 00:16:40,586 --> 00:16:42,506 Speaker 4: five touchdowns, rush for another three. 332 00:16:42,666 --> 00:16:45,026 Speaker 1: They had a chance to do something in the last 333 00:16:45,026 --> 00:16:46,586 Speaker 1: week of the season and stop. 334 00:16:46,346 --> 00:16:49,146 Speaker 2: The Lions from from you know whatever. It went in 335 00:16:49,226 --> 00:16:50,906 Speaker 2: the line, and he's stunk when it mattered. I'll just 336 00:16:50,906 --> 00:16:52,706 Speaker 2: say that. Everyone points to twenty twenty three. 337 00:16:52,746 --> 00:16:54,906 Speaker 1: I remember his final weeks of the season with the 338 00:16:54,906 --> 00:16:56,826 Speaker 1: Lot with the Bears, the go on, sorry sorry. 339 00:16:56,546 --> 00:16:59,386 Speaker 4: Sorry, okay, and then look started out four and two 340 00:16:59,386 --> 00:17:00,106 Speaker 4: with Pittsburgh. 341 00:17:01,026 --> 00:17:03,186 Speaker 3: Wasn't fine, dude, benched in that game. 342 00:17:03,426 --> 00:17:04,066 Speaker 2: He wasn't. 343 00:17:04,146 --> 00:17:06,226 Speaker 5: He wasn't, you know, throwing it all over the lot 344 00:17:06,306 --> 00:17:09,066 Speaker 5: like it up. But he protected the ball. 345 00:17:09,106 --> 00:17:11,586 Speaker 3: He only had one interception in the six games. 346 00:17:12,946 --> 00:17:17,586 Speaker 4: He did, you know what it took to win, you know, 347 00:17:17,866 --> 00:17:20,266 Speaker 4: in four out of the six, and it looked like 348 00:17:20,426 --> 00:17:23,426 Speaker 4: he was you know, it looked like he you know, 349 00:17:23,506 --> 00:17:26,746 Speaker 4: he was progressing. So it would have been nice to 350 00:17:26,786 --> 00:17:29,026 Speaker 4: see him play a few more games with Pittsburgh and 351 00:17:29,026 --> 00:17:30,426 Speaker 4: see if he developed a little more. 352 00:17:31,826 --> 00:17:33,186 Speaker 3: But maybe we have something here. 353 00:17:33,466 --> 00:17:35,666 Speaker 1: Okay, what's it tell you that A I think he 354 00:17:35,706 --> 00:17:39,626 Speaker 1: did choose the Jets over Pittsburgh and b the fact 355 00:17:39,666 --> 00:17:42,586 Speaker 1: that Mike Tomlin two different questions. One he picked the 356 00:17:42,666 --> 00:17:44,506 Speaker 1: Jets over Pittsburg, which is rare to say, oh, I 357 00:17:44,586 --> 00:17:47,386 Speaker 1: want that situation. And then the second one, Mike Tomlin 358 00:17:47,906 --> 00:17:50,346 Speaker 1: went to Russell Wilson over him, and as Russell Wilson 359 00:17:50,386 --> 00:17:54,266 Speaker 1: began to go, you know, slide downwards and play poorly 360 00:17:54,306 --> 00:17:56,026 Speaker 1: down the rest of the season, did not go back 361 00:17:56,026 --> 00:17:57,226 Speaker 1: to Justin Fields. 362 00:17:57,746 --> 00:18:00,586 Speaker 3: Well, first off, why did he pick New York? You know, 363 00:18:01,266 --> 00:18:02,826 Speaker 3: I'm guessing that. 364 00:18:02,786 --> 00:18:05,626 Speaker 4: The money was a lot bigger with the Jets and Steelers, 365 00:18:05,666 --> 00:18:07,946 Speaker 4: and probably the Jets were giving him more of a 366 00:18:07,986 --> 00:18:09,546 Speaker 4: commitment level, saying you're the guy. 367 00:18:10,106 --> 00:18:12,786 Speaker 3: You know, you're the starter, here's the ball, let's go. 368 00:18:14,826 --> 00:18:18,986 Speaker 4: And obviously I'm sure Fields, you know, isn't too thrilled 369 00:18:19,026 --> 00:18:22,186 Speaker 4: with Tomlin after getting yanked, you know, starting out four 370 00:18:22,266 --> 00:18:22,626 Speaker 4: and two. 371 00:18:24,746 --> 00:18:28,666 Speaker 3: But you know what's not being talked enough about here is. 372 00:18:29,226 --> 00:18:31,986 Speaker 4: Maybe he wanted to, you know, get back with Garrett Wilson, 373 00:18:32,346 --> 00:18:35,906 Speaker 4: who he had that connection with at Ohio State. And look, 374 00:18:36,146 --> 00:18:39,426 Speaker 4: if you remember when we talked on the pod during 375 00:18:39,426 --> 00:18:42,866 Speaker 4: the coaching search and we were talking about Rogers and 376 00:18:43,386 --> 00:18:46,186 Speaker 4: you know, just the landscape of the team. What I said, 377 00:18:46,186 --> 00:18:49,066 Speaker 4: one of the most important things was is Garrett Wilson 378 00:18:49,146 --> 00:18:50,746 Speaker 4: gonna be happy if we bring back Rogers? 379 00:18:51,666 --> 00:18:53,706 Speaker 3: And I think we realized now the answer would have 380 00:18:53,706 --> 00:18:53,946 Speaker 3: been no. 381 00:18:55,306 --> 00:18:57,346 Speaker 4: So if you were going to bring anybody in to 382 00:18:57,466 --> 00:19:01,786 Speaker 4: make Garrett happy, Field was the guy. And maybe Fields, 383 00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:05,506 Speaker 4: you know, wanted to come back and play with Garrett 384 00:19:05,786 --> 00:19:07,866 Speaker 4: and on the Jets. I don't think there's any question 385 00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:10,226 Speaker 4: that he's going to be the guy and they're going 386 00:19:10,266 --> 00:19:11,706 Speaker 4: to ride it out and see what he can do, 387 00:19:11,906 --> 00:19:16,386 Speaker 4: and if it works out, you know, there's a good 388 00:19:16,466 --> 00:19:18,306 Speaker 4: chance he could be the long term solution here in 389 00:19:18,346 --> 00:19:18,746 Speaker 4: New York. 390 00:19:19,146 --> 00:19:23,746 Speaker 3: So I think that's why he picked the Jets. Why 391 00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:25,426 Speaker 3: did Tomlin stick with Ross? 392 00:19:26,346 --> 00:19:29,826 Speaker 4: Ross is a Super Bowl winning in that you know, 393 00:19:30,306 --> 00:19:33,146 Speaker 4: was protecting the ball. They were winning games, and yeah, 394 00:19:33,186 --> 00:19:36,386 Speaker 4: they hit that rough patch and where they were playing 395 00:19:36,386 --> 00:19:39,626 Speaker 4: playoff teams and they you know, they didn't win. But 396 00:19:39,706 --> 00:19:43,866 Speaker 4: I think Tomlin, you know, in typical Tomlin fashion, was 397 00:19:44,306 --> 00:19:48,666 Speaker 4: concerned about, you know, just getting into the playoffs and 398 00:19:48,746 --> 00:19:51,906 Speaker 4: having that another you know, playoff season on his resume, 399 00:19:52,746 --> 00:19:57,466 Speaker 4: probably knowing that whether it was Fields or Wilson, he 400 00:19:57,546 --> 00:19:59,026 Speaker 4: wasn't going to go very far anyway. 401 00:19:59,346 --> 00:20:01,586 Speaker 1: Okay, here, I'm gonna give you some updates in the 402 00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:04,186 Speaker 1: last five minutes, some news and if you're listening again, 403 00:20:04,186 --> 00:20:06,866 Speaker 1: we're recording this at three fifteen pm during there'll be 404 00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:09,146 Speaker 1: plenty more by the time this goes up and it's posted. 405 00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:13,666 Speaker 2: Josh Sweat leaves the Eagles for the Arizona Cardinals on 406 00:20:13,746 --> 00:20:14,626 Speaker 2: a monster deal. 407 00:20:14,826 --> 00:20:19,226 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's one Tellanoah Hufonga, who had a great 408 00:20:19,306 --> 00:20:22,226 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and has been missing on the field 409 00:20:22,226 --> 00:20:26,026 Speaker 1: from twenty three to twenty four, signs with the Denver Broncos. 410 00:20:26,866 --> 00:20:31,626 Speaker 1: And there is still no word on Aaron Rodgers to 411 00:20:31,706 --> 00:20:35,026 Speaker 1: the Giants or Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers. As 412 00:20:35,026 --> 00:20:38,346 Speaker 1: we record this, I believe that is going to be 413 00:20:38,346 --> 00:20:40,786 Speaker 1: the next domino to drop. And then you'll see Daniel 414 00:20:40,866 --> 00:20:43,146 Speaker 1: Jones sign somewhere, and then you will probably see Russell 415 00:20:43,186 --> 00:20:47,546 Speaker 1: Wilson sign somewhere. Could you believe it as a Jets 416 00:20:47,586 --> 00:20:50,506 Speaker 1: fan that Aaron Rodgers is being heavily quartered by the Giants, 417 00:20:50,546 --> 00:20:53,546 Speaker 1: and the Giants are more or less waiting on Aaron Rodgers' decision. 418 00:20:54,466 --> 00:20:57,026 Speaker 4: It feels like a couple of years ago with the Jets, 419 00:20:57,026 --> 00:20:59,146 Speaker 4: where you had a coach and a gm who are 420 00:20:59,186 --> 00:21:01,866 Speaker 4: fighting for their lives here and need to, you know. 421 00:21:03,146 --> 00:21:05,746 Speaker 3: Need to make the playoffs to keep their jobs. 422 00:21:06,986 --> 00:21:09,226 Speaker 4: And as tempting as it may be for Shane and 423 00:21:09,266 --> 00:21:12,106 Speaker 4: day Ball to get Rogers in there so they can, 424 00:21:12,346 --> 00:21:15,666 Speaker 4: you know, convince themselves that they're going to be competitive, 425 00:21:15,706 --> 00:21:16,906 Speaker 4: I just I don't think it's the right move. 426 00:21:16,946 --> 00:21:18,186 Speaker 3: I don't think it's the right move for the Giants. 427 00:21:18,186 --> 00:21:19,546 Speaker 3: I don't think it's the right move for Rodgers. 428 00:21:19,906 --> 00:21:21,946 Speaker 4: If I'm Rogers, I'm doing whatever I can to get 429 00:21:21,986 --> 00:21:26,906 Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh. Look, Pittsburgh seems like regardless of who plays quarterback, 430 00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:28,826 Speaker 4: they're in the hunt they make the playoffs. 431 00:21:29,306 --> 00:21:30,346 Speaker 3: And now with DK. 432 00:21:31,626 --> 00:21:35,346 Speaker 4: That defense and Tomlin, that's an attractive situation for any quarterback. 433 00:21:35,986 --> 00:21:39,786 Speaker 3: And Rogers didn't play terrible last year. I think a 434 00:21:39,786 --> 00:21:41,746 Speaker 3: lot of games. I think they lost a lot of 435 00:21:41,746 --> 00:21:43,626 Speaker 3: games because of the defense, not because of him. 436 00:21:43,786 --> 00:21:45,946 Speaker 1: And you fired a coach five weeks into the season, 437 00:21:46,066 --> 00:21:49,746 Speaker 1: and you fired the like it's complete this function. You 438 00:21:49,826 --> 00:21:52,986 Speaker 1: have to admit, as much as it's fun to have 439 00:21:53,106 --> 00:21:55,986 Speaker 1: stories and gossip like it is kind of a refreshing 440 00:21:56,426 --> 00:21:58,946 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks with Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn 441 00:21:58,946 --> 00:21:59,986 Speaker 1: and Rick Spielman that there. 442 00:21:59,946 --> 00:22:01,466 Speaker 2: Hasn't been a peep out of that building. 443 00:22:02,346 --> 00:22:05,626 Speaker 4: I think people just aren't so interested in the team, 444 00:22:05,906 --> 00:22:09,666 Speaker 4: and everyone is just down and really has no expectations. 445 00:22:10,186 --> 00:22:12,666 Speaker 4: So we're all just paying attention to other things. And 446 00:22:12,746 --> 00:22:15,866 Speaker 4: I think I think the media is as well. There's 447 00:22:16,106 --> 00:22:18,506 Speaker 4: no shortage of action elsewhere around the league that they 448 00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:21,426 Speaker 4: can focus on instead of, you know, beating the dead 449 00:22:21,466 --> 00:22:26,906 Speaker 4: horse of you know, this downtrodden franch. 450 00:22:26,746 --> 00:22:29,586 Speaker 1: I Metugi at the combine. I was impressed. I never 451 00:22:29,626 --> 00:22:31,266 Speaker 1: met him before. I was impressed. 452 00:22:32,506 --> 00:22:33,106 Speaker 3: We'll see. 453 00:22:33,186 --> 00:22:38,666 Speaker 4: I mean, if Sean Payton likes him, I like him. 454 00:22:39,386 --> 00:22:41,826 Speaker 4: He knows football, so we'll see. I mean, I think 455 00:22:41,826 --> 00:22:44,866 Speaker 4: it's Aaron Glenn's show. And I think the thing that 456 00:22:44,906 --> 00:22:47,546 Speaker 4: I'm probably do have some hope about is that it 457 00:22:47,546 --> 00:22:49,666 Speaker 4: seems like the GM and the cultural aligned and they're 458 00:22:49,666 --> 00:22:51,746 Speaker 4: on the same page, and you know they're going to 459 00:22:51,786 --> 00:22:58,706 Speaker 4: work together to you know, instill their vision here, not 460 00:22:58,866 --> 00:22:59,506 Speaker 4: what we've had. 461 00:22:59,386 --> 00:23:02,146 Speaker 3: In the past. But I have no expectations for Mugie. 462 00:23:02,266 --> 00:23:03,186 Speaker 3: I mean, we'll see. 463 00:23:03,386 --> 00:23:07,106 Speaker 4: I mean one thing, if I'm Mugie, I'm letting this 464 00:23:07,306 --> 00:23:10,466 Speaker 4: justin fields acquisition get in the way of drafting a quarterback, 465 00:23:10,866 --> 00:23:15,186 Speaker 4: you know, whether that's somebody at seven. If you believe 466 00:23:15,306 --> 00:23:18,866 Speaker 4: there's a guy there that you know could be a 467 00:23:18,906 --> 00:23:21,986 Speaker 4: franchise quarterback, then why not take them. If you want 468 00:23:21,986 --> 00:23:25,506 Speaker 4: to wait and maybe trade back into the twenties to 469 00:23:25,586 --> 00:23:29,546 Speaker 4: get somebody like Baltimore did with Lamar, and let's do that. 470 00:23:29,866 --> 00:23:32,026 Speaker 4: But I wouldn't just be going all in on fields 471 00:23:32,026 --> 00:23:33,546 Speaker 4: here and saying, Okay, we got our guy. 472 00:23:34,386 --> 00:23:34,746 Speaker 2: Okay. 473 00:23:34,786 --> 00:23:39,266 Speaker 1: In closing two questions, One, you have given up your 474 00:23:39,306 --> 00:23:42,426 Speaker 1: season tickets. Does any of this encourage you to want to, 475 00:23:42,506 --> 00:23:44,546 Speaker 1: you know, re up and go call the Jets ticket 476 00:23:44,666 --> 00:23:48,106 Speaker 1: line and invest your money again into Jets season ticket holding? 477 00:23:48,586 --> 00:23:49,306 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. 478 00:23:49,506 --> 00:23:53,146 Speaker 6: I need to see I need to see a I 479 00:23:53,186 --> 00:23:55,426 Speaker 6: need to see a product on the field that gets 480 00:23:55,426 --> 00:23:59,426 Speaker 6: me excited, that gets me to buy back in, that 481 00:23:59,586 --> 00:24:03,786 Speaker 6: just shows that we're a respectable team that is prepared, 482 00:24:04,226 --> 00:24:08,786 Speaker 6: that actually looks like they practice. 483 00:24:07,306 --> 00:24:10,626 Speaker 3: And you know, can compete against the better teams in 484 00:24:10,626 --> 00:24:13,866 Speaker 3: the league.

Now, 489 00:24:28,706 --> 00:24:32,466 Speaker 1: Andrew Schultz, the star comedian, has a big special on Netflix. 490 00:24:32,626 --> 00:24:35,586 Speaker 1: He went on Joe Rogan and started talking about our sport, 491 00:24:35,626 --> 00:24:37,786 Speaker 1: and Rogan had never heard of it. It's this good 492 00:24:37,866 --> 00:24:41,066 Speaker 1: for our small sport of paddle, which is two on 493 00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:42,986 Speaker 1: two tennis with glass walls, that we have. 494 00:24:43,026 --> 00:24:44,146 Speaker 2: Been playing for years. 495 00:24:44,786 --> 00:24:47,346 Speaker 1: Or is this now here come the unwashed masses into 496 00:24:47,466 --> 00:24:49,986 Speaker 1: our lovely little sport like an indie band that has 497 00:24:50,026 --> 00:24:52,266 Speaker 1: been discovered by pop radio, and now it's just going 498 00:24:52,346 --> 00:24:54,786 Speaker 1: to be overrun with new people that we that we 499 00:24:54,826 --> 00:24:56,506 Speaker 1: aren't familiar with playing our sport. 500 00:24:57,586 --> 00:24:58,386 Speaker 3: I think it's great. 501 00:24:58,506 --> 00:25:01,586 Speaker 4: I think more and more people are realizing that this 502 00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:02,386 Speaker 4: is something real. 503 00:25:02,506 --> 00:25:07,386 Speaker 5: This isn't you know, some you know, fly by night, 504 00:25:07,866 --> 00:25:09,826 Speaker 5: some version of pickleball. 505 00:25:09,306 --> 00:25:11,786 Speaker 3: That you know people talk badly about. You know, to 506 00:25:11,826 --> 00:25:13,626 Speaker 3: play paddle, you have to be a real athlete.

But if anything, you know, I 510 00:25:20,586 --> 00:25:23,426 Speaker 4: think it will bring more athletes to the space, more 511 00:25:23,746 --> 00:25:27,346 Speaker 4: fun people for us to play with, and you know, 512 00:25:28,346 --> 00:25:30,706 Speaker 4: hopefully more paddle facilities for us to test. 513 00:25:30,746 --> 00:25:32,866 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I will say this. 514 00:25:34,506 --> 00:25:37,306 Speaker 1: I've gotten so many text from people knowing that I 515 00:25:37,346 --> 00:25:40,346 Speaker 1: love this sport that Schultz even mentioned it on Joe 516 00:25:40,386 --> 00:25:43,626 Speaker 1: Rogan that I've got to say.
