00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis and I'm joined by a room

00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg rosa Thal.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: What's up boys? Hey Dan, Welcome back from the weekend? Habbaba?

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: What a weekend it was? What happened? Mark can do anything? Fun?

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Next person? I did very little. You know. It's Sunday.

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: Your wife Simone a lovely woman. I really like Simone um.

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: She serves as a family photographer for Emily. Myself and

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: young Jack in a parking lot. I got a sneak

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: preview of some of the for a monetary face some

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: of the pictures. You know, we don't want to take

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: advantage of the sessslers. So he took out the checkbook.

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: So don't worry about that. Mark wasn't pushing that narrative,

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: but did a great job. You mentioned that your your

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: child was problematic during it. So that's not Simone Sesssler photography.

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: It's a side business. It's a business. You want to

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: hand out the earl right now in a big spot.

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: As he looks as he scrambles the I want to

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: make sure that the end is what I think. Continue on.

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: I'll drop it later anyway. So that was fun. That

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: was the highlight of my Uh Sunday. Yeah, my boy,

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: who's a very good child, and I've been very lucky

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: that he has not been, you know, a crazy kid.

35
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: But he had a rough day. Um, he beat us

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: this weekend. Like after he finally went to sleep last night, Uh,

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: my wife and I looked at each other, like, wow,

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: he won this war this weekend. We were dead, We're done,

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the house was destroyed, we were exhausted. He just took

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: us down. That's good. It's good job by Jack in

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: a big spot. Sometimes you gotta let the parents know

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: who's boss. You think it's too easy, I'm a kid.

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: It was other things that happened this weekend. I had West. Remember,

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: I jokingly was asking you what you look for and

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: what you don't look for in a woman on the

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: previous show, and you you know, we came back to

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: little banter. A woman on Twitter, uh went after me

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: saying I was sexist. It was about Miko Grimes, of course,

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: who I blocked that woman with immunity and guess what

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: guests who retweeted and favored of the tweet at me

51
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: that I was a sexist monster. I'm dead. I thought

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: it was really weird that this this woman found Miko

53
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Grimes to be the sympathetic figure here. I don't know

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: everything about it was off, but the fact that now

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm on Miko's grid less than twenty four hours after

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I said the one person I never want to be like.

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in the cross hull. Keep

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: your name, you know, don't talk about her? Are you

59
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna do? That's the first rule of the rule of Miko.

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: You you want to stay off for radar. Don't mention,

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: don't mention Miko's name and Dan's defense. He did invite

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: the young woman onto the podcast. Who Miko? Yeah, well

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: you're right. But an update from last week. By the way,

64
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Armando Saugero, the writer who was going to get bolted.

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: He's still alive now are you? We can add you

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: to this update. So Miko might be after me, but

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: I am still alive. We have a great show today

68
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: and Monday edition. This is the first week after the

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: starter free agency, so well there, maybe they're not gonna

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: be too many bombshells. Well though there could be a couple,

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: uh with some big name quarterbacks. Um, now we're gonna

72
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: get some real roster building. This is what you want, uh,

73
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: you want some really clear eyed analysis, and that's what

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: you got bring. I consider myself blessed just to be

75
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: here when you guys start just telling me about William

00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Hayes and why is Casey Hayward a great fit for

00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the charge. This is what I get excited. This is

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: what gets me jacked up. I'm not sure I believe

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: the word, but it was an un excellent in professional Uh.

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: So yesterday we will get into the news. What's happened

81
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,680

82
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: let's bring back the speed Round. If for no other reason,

83
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: I just like to hear the music eight o'clock Delight,

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: Love eight o'clock Delight. And also, um, one other thing

85
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: before we get into the news. It did come out.

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: It broke last week that Slack had entered into a

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: partnership with Bill Simmons. Uh, the famous podcast and former

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: ESPN columnists now has his own website. What's it called

89
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: The Ringer The Ringer. Uh, they have entered into a

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: business partnership with the Sports Guy, which um was confirmed

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: through several sources this weekend. And I spoke with someone

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: in our upstairs, a shadowy league figure that works in

93
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: the advertising realm upstairs said Hey, this shore, this can't fly.

94
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: And this was the exact line I received. Why by

95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the cow when you get the milk for free? Yeah,

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: well you know that's just like your opinion, man. So

97
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: she's right though, So from now on with this podcast, guys,

98
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: start slacking. Don't sign up for Slack today. How about

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: we just ignore? Yeah, that would seemingly be the move.

100
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: Start slacking. Ignore slack. Well, that's what I just said.

101
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: Did you not hear the news? I just mean never

102
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: to put it in? Greg was negative press? If you

103
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: just say nothing, how about negative though? How about we

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: go after negative goods giving him that's like, you know,

105
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: there's no press, is bad press. How about just start slacking.

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: At this point, we've essentially lifted up four or five

107
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: potential sponsors with you know, roughly thirty minutes spread over

108
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: multiple episodes, and add you know, mentions, and maybe the

109
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: point being we don't give anyone attention until they come

110
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: to us with money. It's a shaky business. It's a

111
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: shaky business plan. Continue to mention, it's it's probably a

112
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: shaky editorial plan to this running slack bit. Why well,

113
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying Slack's had enough time.

114
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying, starts slacking. Don't sign up for

115
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: Slack today unless you pay us. I think Greg, get

116
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Dan in a room and explain this later. Al Right,

117
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: my reviews coming up this week. Yeah maybe then, all right,

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Also, we're gonna West Road apiece

119
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: on the website. Five franchises on the rise will kind

00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: of pick into that a little bit. And also you

121
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,520

122
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: best work. And we'll get into that, but before that

123
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: we will do the news. And to do that we

124
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: gotta say hello to the irishman. Hello, how are you, buddy.

128
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: the Mondays today. You're feeling pretty good versus just all right? Yes,

129
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean I had a huge difference. I have my

130
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: new Polo on and I got about two comments on it,

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: so I will take a close look at it. You

Speaker 1: like a button down that would even be the bigger. Yeah,

135
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: you don't want to be showing your undershirt a lot

136
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: of wife talk. I agree with Emica. I'm kind of

137
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: more casual today though, I'm gonna go dressed up then

138

Speaker 1: In the wake of this development, one of Bryant's agents

154
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: said that the wide receiver plans to check into a

155
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: rehab UH into rehab and undergo and evaluation for depression.

156
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: UH So here's the and here's a statement from UM

157
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: that agent Brian Fettner were all stunned to me included,

158
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: we clearly miscalculated the issue. His isn't a party issue.

159
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: It's a coping issue and a depressing depression issue, and

160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: he's got to take care of it and depressing depressing news.

161
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: Chris Westling about Martavis Bryant, well, I don't want to

162
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: get into the whole weed discussion. I mean, everybody's got

163
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: thrown opinions on that. But from a on field perspective,

164
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I crunched some numbers yesterday because I was writing an

165
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: article on how Ben Roethlisberger was set up for the

166
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: first m VP run of his career. I think this

167
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: this is the most loaded offense in the league when

168
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant's on the team. Since he got Pittsburgh, they

169
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: have scored thirty points or more and roughly fifty of

170
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: the games he's played and of the games he has

171
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: not played, he's that much of a difference to them.

172
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: They averaged twenty nine points with him on the field

173
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: and twenty two points with him on the sideline. But

174
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: just in terms of pure talent, that's the most talented

175
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver duo in the league, and so you

176
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: lose half of that. In terms of pure talent, I

177
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: think you could put Bryant now among the top ten talented.

178
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: There's any question to Ted talented wide receivers in the league.

179
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: And it's it's just a shame because we love watching

180
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: that Steelers team play. They seem like they have had

181
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: it all going on going into the season. I still

182
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: think they're they're so good that they're they're gonna be

183
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: fine even without them. They added Ladarius Green, and yet

184
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: you'll just have this feeling the whole time that you're

185
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: not seeing the full Pittsburgh expert and that and that

186
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: happened last year too, with the injuries to Levy on

187
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: Bell and Ben Roethlisberger, and you start to think like,

188
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: maybe this is just like they're a little snake bit.

189
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: They have this potentially historic offense and we may never

190
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: see them all on the field together really thriving. Um.

191
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure that breaks your heart marks a Browns fan,

192
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: but it does set back the Steelers a little bit.

193
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're still gonna score a lot of points,

194
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: but you can't take out a guy of this guy,

195
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: this amount of talent, and he showed it last season,

196
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be worse off. You would think, well, I mean,

197
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: I guess the hope is that Sammy Coates can step

198
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: into a larger role. I mean, I think with Green

199
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: that addition of tight end is huge, and it still

200
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: feels like an offense that if Antonio Brown is healthy

201
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: the whole season, they're going to fry people still. But

202
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: but he had what's seventeen touchdowns Briant two seasons. I

203
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: mean that you can't just replace that. I mean this, um,

204
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: this is actually kind of serious. We do are making

205
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: the Leap series every year. We already did Ladarius Screen

206
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago in San Diego, but he's

207
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: got a whole new set up. And not to put

208
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: too much pressure on Green, but now that you take

209
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: Brian out of it, perhaps he has an even bigger

210
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: role in the offense. A second time on the making

211
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: the Leap list, what do you think we've done it before?

212
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: We did someone back to back years once someone was injured.

213
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: The only reason he hasn't made the leap has nothing

214
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: to do with himself and everything to do with the

215
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: presence of Antonio Game. I think the way he played

216
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: last year he made the leap For me personally, I

217
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: think he played much better last year Green than he

218
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: had previously in his career. Didn't all show up in

219
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: the stat sheets, but what a costly moment. It is

220
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: too for Briant. I mean, he has to give back

221
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: by rule over a hundred thousand dollars of his signing bonus.

222
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't get paid for the season. I mean, granted,

223
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's he's poor, but he's a guy

224
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: that's getting paid about five thousand dollars a year. After that,

225
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: he now has to about how to live for the

226
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: next year. He's dealing with depression and substance abuse problems.

227
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: Like it's not a it's not the most simple thing

228
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: for a twenty What is he twenty four year old?

229
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: UH to handle right now? UH. In other news, back

230
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: into the free agency market, Eric Weddle for nine years

231
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: was really the heart and soul of the Chargers defense.

232
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: They had a bit of a messy falling out as

233
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: we know, and now he has found a new home. UH.

234
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: It was learned on Monday per rap Sheet that Eric

235
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: Weddles signing with the Baltimore Ravens a four year deal

236
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: where twenty six million dollars thirteen million in guarantees, nine

237
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: million in the first year. UH. This was a three

238
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl UH player in San Diego, two time

239
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: first team All Pro selections, so that really tells you

240
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: how good this guy was Greg Rosltal and now uh

241
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: he is in Baltimore. Uh. This feels like the type

242
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: of situation where Wettal is gonna have a bunch of

243
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: good years that stick it to the Chargers. What do

244
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: you think, maybe I had a bunch of good years

245
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: because he's getting up there. But it's the perfect fit

246
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: for the next two years, Let's say in the in

247
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: a perfect team. They've obviously have the history of having

248
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Ed Reid there, but you put him next to Will Hill.

249
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: That's a nice little safety combination. You probably get rid

250
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: of Kendrick Lewis, that was a bad secondary a year ago.

251
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: You're hoping maybe Jimmy Smith returns to form, Ladarius Webb

252
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: gets healthier suddenly, you can you can just see the

253
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: Ravens are certainly not thinking like they're in a rebuilding process.

254
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you signed Ben Watson and Eric Weddle. Those

255
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: are not rebuilding type types of moves. They're expecting to

256
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: win the division and think they should. They're definitely not

257
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: in rebuild mode because any see what happened last year.

258
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: You lose flak of for basically the whole year and

259
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: you've got match shopping games. I mean, you've got it.

260
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: They weren't done by then anyway, they were done. Yeah,

261
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: but I mean they just if you're the Ravens, there's

262
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: no reason not to think what happened this season before

263
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: can't be duplicated. I like the signing for them, and

264
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: it feels like a very Ravens type. Addition, Osie Newsom

265
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really he's he's really choosing when it comes to

266
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: free agency. He doesn't really dive all in and uh

267
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: he usually comes away with something good. This seems to

268
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: me like the defensive version of Steve Smith, where you

269
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: get a couple of years where he stiff arms father

270
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: time and hasn't really hit his decline face just yet.

271
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: And this is a guy I think that's been waiting

272
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: to be on a better organization, maybe being the spotlight

273
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: a little more. I think he's gotta enjoy playing for

274
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: a team like the Ravens, who will be in prime

275
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: time a lot. The Ravens are a team that I

276
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: think we'll go into this season not the teams struggle

277
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: for motivation, but just seems like they're going to have

278
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: the eye of the tiger to to prove that last

279
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: year was really the last two years? People forget two

280
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: years ago. Wait? Am I crazy? What? They've had two

281
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: bad years in a row? As I'm confusing. This season

282
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: before the Patriots needed a pair of trick plays to

283
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: beat him. Does he have to keep the overly long

284
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: beard simply because it's his Twitter handle? Can you not?

285
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: You just can't shape it. I believe he shaved it.

286
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking of the eight and eight years, so

287
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: that's to two out of the last three years. They've

288
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: been mediocre or worse. But I think he shaved it.

289
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: I think it's gone. Didn't he? You said I had

290
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: the tiger earlier? Is that your turn of the phrase

291
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: or is that what an original that was? Like Philly

292
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: Roseen Rosenthal Rosie Well. I believe it was a popular

293
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: song back in the seventies or eighties. The artist was

294
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: hold on, give me, It'd be weird for me to

295
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: take credit for it. I was just checking Survivor. I

296
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: was gonna say, as we got a podcast in Dan,

297
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question real quick. Yes, Eric

298
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Wettell see what Rodney Harrison did when he left after

299
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: eight years in San Diego and said that could be me.

300
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: I like that I think wettell Uh probably did go

301
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: down the path of Rodney Harrison the Irison gun in

302
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: from Mount Rushmore. So you're telling me we aren't going

303
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: to get a Steeler super Bowl, but we're getting another Raven.

304
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: While we're wildly off topic, how about Peyton Manning in

305
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: his press conference Goodbye, where he was just listing the

306
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: all time great defensive players he played against, only listed

307
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: about seven or eight players. One of those players is

308
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison. I thought that was talent people. Rodney has

309
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: been under underrated. Give me a break. We knocked out

310
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: iboutly knocked down that pass and supero. You also mentioned

311
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan Peytman, but much. I'm sure it made Rex

312
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: a very happy man. Rank number eight. Eric Weddle was

313
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: on the top ninety nine and mark you they are

314
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: not rebuilding, We're like reloading. They are reloading. Makes me happy.

315
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a best remaining free agents. Eric, I

316
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: love that idea. But now he's off the list, so

317
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: we're not. We don't need this top ninety nine drop anymore.

318
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: If you have a problems for bad for your son, problems,

319
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: we just put that one in the garage until next March. Okay,

320
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: that's it's no longer accurate because they're only about eight

321
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: out of our top forty left, only about forty overall

322
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: out of the top. I can't say we didn't get

323
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: good use out of it. Over I was on Saturday

324
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: and Sunday for news coverage, and they were as slow

325
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: as any Saturday and Sunday in June and July it

326
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: was wild. Even by Friday, it was done within hours. Well,

327
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: what was the difference between this Saturday and Sunday in

328
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: your life and last Saturday and Sunday when you were

329
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: in Tybee? Multiple substances? You know, you keep on making

330
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: these illusions. The multiple substances. What could they be? Suntan lotion,

331
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: beer wine and liquor. Knowing West, it could be varied

332
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: suntan lotion. B J Raji is, let's just move on,

333
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, for your sake? Was b J Raji is

334
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: set to take a hiatus from the NFL. I didn't

335
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: see this one coming. The big man in the middle

336
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: of the packers of the defensive line for several years.

337
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: I think he's been with them, what seven seasons now,

338
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: Um announced Monday that he's taking a hiatus. Here's the

339
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: here's his uh statement, I am taking a hiatus from

340
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: the NFL. It will not play during the NFL season.

341
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: This decision was made after hours of conversation with close

342
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: family members and mentors and considerable self introspection and nice

343
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: and is one in which I am absolutely certain I

344
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: cannot rule out a return to the NFL in the future,

345
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: but I will definitely not be playing during the season.

346
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: There you go, twenty nine years old, Wes. What do

347
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: you think isn't the self extraneous in that sentence? Introspection

348
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: is already that's fired. Raji taken down statement. Whoever is

349
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: PR rap is, let's better think he's an expert on PR.

350
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: I like it. It's the guy I thought we would

351
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: have a much better career than he's had. He had

352
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: a good career, I mean nothing to be ashamed of that.

353
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: He started fourteen fifteen games I think six six different times,

354
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: five or six. But after the two thousand ten season,

355
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: what are you laughing at over I'm looking ahead to

356
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: the next news game like a point guard. I'm the

357
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: next plays when I'm ten season. He was great there,

358
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: and uh, you kind of thought he was going to

359
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: be one of those guys that are the best players

360
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: at his positioned for a little while and he just

361
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: was not that After you've got a big contank. He's

362
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: dealing well so with he's had a lot of injuries,

363
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: but I wonder if we might see more players do

364
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: this move. Now it's two big names in two years

365
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: where he had what a groin injury for a lot

366
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: of last year that he played through at a torn

367
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: pack that he missed all of tween because of get healthy.

368
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: So if you come back, he's not that old. The

369
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: trade off, of course, is that you're giving away perhaps

370
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: the final year of your prime potentially, but that's what

371
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: he's been signing one year contracts one after the next,

372
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: giving away the final year or your prime. But is

373
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: it your prime? If you're not yourself because your body's

374
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: beat up, will you be yourself after a year away

375
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: from the game. Well, it depends with the injury game

376
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: that it's a game that ravages your body. And if

377
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: you can take a year off and come back fresh,

378
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: that makes some sense to me. Davis did it and right, yeah,

379
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: it's especially at that position and his eyes. And I

380
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: remember when we were at the Super Bowl, there was

381
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of the discussion like who's the most valuable I

382
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: guess we weren't there together, but who's the most valuable?

383
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: Packers defends a player on that team? Is it Charles Woodson?

384
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Is that Clay Matthews, r B J Rodger? That was

385
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: a legitimate discussion. That's coming off Roger's best season. To

386
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: think they kind of fell off pretty hard from there.

387
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: If Wes came to you, Greg and said, I need,

388
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, a year off, he you know, he would

389
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: just had a busy weekend last week and I need

390
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: a year off just to get my body right, would you, uh?

391
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: What would your response? But if the NFL would support

392
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: I think it would hurt this podcast a lot, which

393
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't be good. But if the NFL was supported, I

394
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: kind of like it's not a crazy idea. It's called

395
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: how about I would not be able to support myself?

396
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: Well that's a problem. Will you get paid to be off?

397
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: How about you Mark wellcond one year, Um Simone, who

398
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: I really like, and everyone else close to you, Um

399
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: signs off on it. Greg signs off the shadowy league

400
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: figures and you get one half of your pay So

401
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: basically get you know, X amount of dollars. Where would

402
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: you go? This is totally I would go multiple places

403
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: where but I have a family, so I would bring them.

404
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: We'd have to probably all caravan across the country and

405
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: Simone's you know that happens. But you decide, you make

406
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: a decision, conscious decision to have a six week solo

407
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: sojourn before you know, I'd go to like Scandinavia because

408
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: I've never been anywhere like that. Like I would just

409
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: get out of the United States, have been all over

410
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: the States. Just goes somewhere. If you're gonna go off

411
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: the grid, I don't want to be like watching ESPN

412
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: in a bar and I want to go You go

413
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: way off the grid at a bar. I agree with you.

414
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: That's the last thing you ever America is all the same.

415
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: Feels like you just gotta getting go way out alright,

416
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: Who knows where? Maybe Africa? Sure, are you prepared to

417
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: go to Africa? I no, I mentioned where I would go,

418
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: but I mean, who knows. It could be multiple places,

419
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: just you know, travel around. Well, I limited to this planet. No,

420
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: that has to be realistic. Uh. In other news, Colin Kaepernick,

421
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: let's check in on his situation. We keep on hearing

422
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: that this trade is gonna happen either whether Kaepernick goes

423
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: to Denver or Cleveland or somewhere else. But it's gonna happen.

424
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: But here we go, and Kevin Patrick, you're asking why

425
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: I chuckled Greg The final sentence of Patrick's lead on

426
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: the most recent post on Monday, we sit in a

427
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: Mark in a in an amorphous cloud of uncertainty. That's

428
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: where we are, folks. And amorphous cloud of uncertainty. That's

429
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: where Mark wants to take his year off. And if

430
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: all media columns feel like Cessler's writing is now infecting

431
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the group, Mike concused from Cessli, that's good.

432
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: Michael Silver reports that all's quiet on the Kaepernick front,

433
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: with the Broncos holding firm in their belief that Kaepernick

434
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: is worth a fourth round pick. Uh, there's no movement

435
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: with the Browns personal over. The Niners are quote chilling, Well,

436
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: they can chill because like it's the it comes down

437
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: to killing on their interest in a trader like they're in.

438
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: He's trying to say, it's like it's like Jed York

439
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: and you know, Chip Kelly. They're just hanging out of

440
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: the couch watching watching some old movies. I mean Kaepernick's

441
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: holding up this whole flow of quarterback movements. So the

442
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: Niners don't need something to happen this minute. Now he

443
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: does have, doesn't some cont some money kicking for Kaepernick soon?

444
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: So they've got a April first before twelve million of

445
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: Kaepernick salaries guaranteed anyway, when nothing Something about this is

446
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: strange to me that the Broncos would be willing to

447
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: make him their starting quarterback and pay him all the money,

448
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: but they can't move off of a fourth round pick

449
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: to a third round They don't have a fourth round

450
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: pick if you, yeah, don't even have one, but they

451
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: would have to find one or use a two thousand

452
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: and seventeen pick or something. But if you're willing to

453
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: go that far, you're willing to pay him thirteen million

454
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: dollars next year, why wouldn't you be willing to just

455
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: bump it up. That's a pretty important Well, you've got

456
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: an excellent point, Greg. We do give Like on Friday Show,

457
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: we gave the Jets credit for knowing the market and

458
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: holding tight and waiting for it to come to them.

459
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe John Elways that confident that there's nobody else

460
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: that's going to step in well, the Browns don't make

461
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: sense to be either that they're willing to give up

462
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: a third round pick essentially, and that's the top of

463
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: the third round, and yet they want him to take

464
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: a pay cut, so they see him as a guy

465
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: that would be battling to start. I think so because

466
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: I know that it's March and so everyone is ultra

467
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: fascinated with Colin Kaepernick, but they already have two veterans

468
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: on the roster that if you just want to get

469
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: through a bad season with placeholders, they've got two guys

470
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: on our contract and you've got the number two pick.

471
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: Why do we need to turn everything around for Colin

472
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: kaepern That that's absolutely true. It's more just that are

473
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: willing to give up the draft pick in the first place.

474
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: I forgohing Josh McCown help played Colin. I would agree

475
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: with that. Well, the entire NFL, I'll played Kaepernick. I

476
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: think it's it's gotten forgotten that he looked just as

477
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: bad as RG three did the previous year, and RG

478
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: three people are thinking is just hands off. But Kaepernick,

479
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: for especially the back half of his season last year,

480
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: it was about it. He was about as lost as

481
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be for a starting quarterback. Moving on, Kobe Fleaner.

482
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: Um signed with the Saints and free agency crazy money.

483
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: I think he's making more guaranteed money than Gronk right now.

484
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner, That's that's the world that we currently live in.

485
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: It's good to be a mid tier player hitting free agency. Um.

486
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: That that ground contract he signed that too early million

487
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: gears Well, he was coming off a back surgery. I

488
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: get it. He should make a stink. I get it, though,

489
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: you know you're coming off a couple of back surgeries.

490
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: Team wants to buy low and they were smart. But

491
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: he is so underpaid the entire I just read this, Um,

492
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: Ben Violin, Volin, They're in almost their entire defensive corps

493
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: will become free agency next season. They're gonna have to.

494
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: If you're Gronk, you gotta get to work here. What's

495
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: so funny kissing Cousins Marks? Why? Ben Violin? Why? What

496
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: is it? What is it? Benolan? Hilarious? Which I was

497
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: perfect as you guys are. So you're saying because they

498
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: gotta pay Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins and whatnot, Well,

499
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: I would say it's not gonna now before half the

500
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: team is not gonna happen. Don't we feel like with

501
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: Brady and Gronk being massively underpaid, there must be like

502
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: a Swiss bank account somewhere. We're just collecting money for

503
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: them the minute they leave the game. From the Craft family,

504
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: numbers of the Brady deal came out. It wasn't so

505
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: bad for Mr Brady. I saw that he got a

506
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: nice signing bonus, which in the NFL the signings, he's

507
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. But it wasn't. It wasn't this thing where

508
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: he's now so much, you know, more underpaid than the

509
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: rest of the least. So I brought up Gronk because

510
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner is the topic of this news item. He's

511
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: he signed with the Saints and in a introductory conference

512
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: call with New Orleans No Orlans reporters so that he

513
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: felt that some players on the Colts last season we're

514
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: along for the ride. After Andrew lux uh injury. That

515
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: did not sit well with Darrell Freeman, who was with

516
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: the Colts last year, the linebacker. He had this to

517
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: say to w t h R dot Com Sunday night. Fleaner,

518
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: he didn't have the balls that pisces me off and

519
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: he must have been looking in the mirror when he

520
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: when he did the interview. I despise guys like that.

521
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: That's what little girls do talk about you when you're

522
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: not around. I'm a grown man. If I see something

523
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't like, I'm gonna have a face to face convo. Well,

524
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: that flies in the face of some of this rhetoric.

525
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: When you dropped convo in it with that player slash

526
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: players and we're gonna get an understanding. I feel like

527
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: I had a hand in building what's over there. So

528
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: he's flanking on me too, that's a blank move. Isn't

529
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: doing the same thing he's talking about Kobe Fleaner When

530
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner is not there, Well, I think, well, that's true,

531
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: but I think more the idea of your questioning guy's effort. Well,

532
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: but Kobe Fleaner does not feel like if you were

533
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: to line up the guys on the cults that could really,

534
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, squawk about last season, Kobe Fleaner would not

535
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: be high on that list. Why is he calling anyone out?

536
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: Just go go to work. I feel the exact same way.

537
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: I was surprised that Kobe Fleaner had the nerve to

538
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: say anything. That's a fair point. And they've been they

539
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: they were teammates for four years. This doesn't come out

540
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 1: without Drell Freeman probably having some opinions on Kobe Fleeer

541
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: going into this, that this set him off, that this guy,

542
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: of all the guys to talk, give me a break.

543
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: I earned it. I earned it undrafted out of Merry

544
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Hardened Baylor, first NFL player ever out of Mary Harden.

545
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that that exists. That's a school,

546
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: isn't oh that part of Baylor? No. I think it's

547
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: there was a combine quarterback last year that we all

548
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: fell in love with him forgetting on his I'm forgetting

549
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: his name right now. I think he went to that school.

550
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, great woman, Mary Harden Freeman getting six

551
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: million less uh you're actually no, sorry, twelve million less

552
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: guaranteed than Kobe Fleiner. Maybe that's where some of the

553
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: agitation is sourced from. Freething. I was a part of

554
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: our speed Round spoiler alert Belton, Texas. By the way, um,

555
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: do you think how long do you think will take

556
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: the the slack comments that were made today on the

557
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: show to get back to slack headquarters and just start

558
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: making waves. Well, I'd say fifty minutes after the show's up, Greg,

559
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: you were right started as the feed female department of

560
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: what is now Baylor University. Okay, that makes some sense.

561
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: I assume Slack has a regular meeting to discuss what

562
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: we say on this party Slack War. It's like they're

563
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: all right, you know, It's like the day after each

564
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: one of our podcasts, they have a big company wide

565
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: the free ad sales meeting. We're good enough for you, Slack.

566
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: We'll take your a act up the highway because we

567
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: don't want you no more. Stop slacking. Don't sign up

568
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: for Slack today. Let's go to the speed round. Drell Freeman, Yes,

569
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: is Mark Hitto that UH signs three year deal with

570
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, leaving the Colts. Mark, you have any

571
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: other thoughts on that? I mean him and Danny Trevathan

572
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: talk about a duo that Bears defense is gonna be interesting.

573
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: Also signed a Keem Hicks. They look a little more professional.

574
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: Saucy Casey Hayward signs with the San Diego Chargers, the

575
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: cornerback formerly of the Green Bay Packers. UH signed a

576
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: three year, fifteen point three million dollar deal. Former second

577
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: round pick. Ran Getland reports was it was the Packers

578
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: best corner last year. If Brandon Flowers has a bound

579
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: bounce back season, the Charges have a really nice cornerback

580
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: trio there with Jason Barrette Rams making oos. Mark Baron

581
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: will remain with the team in l A. He agrees

582
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: to a five year deal with forty five million, according

583
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: to Rap Sheep. Defensive end William Hayes also agreed on

584
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: a three year deal where twenty one million. Break it down, Sissler,

585
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can just keep asked, you know,

586
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: adding defensive lineman over and over to the Rams, that's

587
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. It did It wasn't Mark Barron

588
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: in our show like three shows ago. That was William Hayes.

589
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: William Hayes, good rotational end. Eugene sim signed over the weekend, though, Yeah,

590
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: that barely matters. The Indianapolis Cults have signed former Packers

591
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: quarterback Scott Tolzine. West almost than possibly wrote three fifty

592
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: words on it tells Moore Chris Scott Tolzine He developed

593
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: under Jim harborw and Mike McCarthy from undrafted to a

594
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: solid backup behind Aaron Rodgers, but They have Brett Hunley,

595
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: who led the NFL and passer rating last year, so

596
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: they're ready to make Huntley their backup. The coach swoop

597
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: in and get quality backup. Mcarthy loves him. The Jets

598
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: signed Jarvis Jenkins. Some depth there, baby, Gregg. Tell me

599
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: what I need to know for we're making the leap candidates.

600
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: Derris Jack it was number thirty six back in two

601
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen or something like that. We just signed

602
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Currie Robinson, another former making the leave candidate. It looks

603
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: like Big Mac is plugged in on NFL dot com.

604
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez press conference introduced with the Broncos. His haircut

605
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: is not good. I need to get in touch with

606
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: him about that. But his goal is to be the

607
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Broncos starter this year. He says it is a dream

608
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: come true to play for the Broncos. Mark, former Denver resident,

609
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: sounds good in March. Let's talk again in April, May, June, July.

610
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: You're not starting for this team barring a disaster. Michael

611
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: is to be a millionaire this year. How much time

612
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: do we have? Love about? Like a third really starts

613
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: on his hair looked all right? No, it looks terrible.

614
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's sharply dressed, very it's very tight and

615
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: high at the top, and the part isn't a weird spot.

616
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: He's an attractive man. Well, he's also he knows what

617
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: he's doing. He immediately puts it out there during his

618
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: press conference. Hey, I'm single. Here is the exact quote.

619
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot in this league. I'm not married,

620
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have kids. I

621
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: just want to play ball and I want to win. Wow.

622
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Really it came out of nowhere. The allusion to being

623
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: completely untied down, that's it's a veteran move. Speed round

624
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: complete makes it look like he's somehow some he's gonna eat,

625
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: like couched it in a thing that makes him look

626
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: like a hard worker. But really he's sending out there.

627
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: Greg's still discussing speed round topics post speed Round, the

628
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: whole Sanchez thing was not really speed Round, and you know,

629
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: people like to have fun with Sanchez that he hasn't

630
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: had a great career, and he certainly hasn't had a

631
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: great career, but he's made a lot of money. He's

632
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: now been in the National Football League. This will be

633
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: his seventh season and he's going clearly going the Jeter route,

634
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: or he's gonna wait until he's forty four and he

635
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: gets it all out of his system, then he'll settle down. Listen,

636
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: Marks says, everything's okay with Mark. Before we had like

637
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: he's a monk, you know, hidden away the guys. I'm short,

638
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: had plenty of good times and more to come, is

639
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's good to be Mark. He's still

640
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: in six all right now. West, oh man, I couldn't

641
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: believe it as I read it, each word better than

642
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: one before it. Uh, five franchises on their eyes NFL

643
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: dot com. You could see this at NFL dot com

644
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: slash Westling. That's a real thing. All of our content.

645
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: If you uh do NFL dot com slash and then

646
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: the last name, you could see our library of content.

647
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be near the top of the list. West. Uh.

648
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: You broke down five teams and um, none of these teams,

649
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: well one of them made the playoffs last year. But

650
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: you have, um, five teams on the rise and right

651
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: at the top. Well, you didn't really put them in order.

652
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: So why don't we start with one West that jumps

653
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: out to you, A team that was completely hopeless last year,

654
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: and I love this piece, by the way, completely hopeless

655
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: last year. This year, Hope has walked right into the building.

656
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: Which one of these teams are you referring to? Oh,

657
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: the one that, in your opinion last year was the

658
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: most hopeless. Now here comes Hope. Hey, Hope, come on in.

659
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get at the Jaguars. Go ahead. Oh

660
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: is that what it was? I didn't know which one

661
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: you wanted. Yeah, well, I think the Raiders are what

662
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: my lead in was um to me. They are the

663
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: best example of this. But the Jaguars and Raiders have

664
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: one thing in common. That the rebuild happens by nailing

665
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: a draft, and they both nailed the two thousand and

666
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: fourteen draft. The Raiders got Derek Carr and Khalil Mack,

667
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback and the defensive Player of the Year candidate.

668
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: The Jaguars got Blake Bortles and Allen Robinson, one of

669
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: the best ten receivers in the league right now, and

670
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. And once you have that structure in place,

671
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: you can go out and get a Julius Thomas and

672
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: then the next year you can go out and get

673
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: four of our top forty free agents on defense. You

674
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: you've erected your offense, go fixed defense, and that's what

675
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: they did. And the Raiders, they just went and got

676
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: three the top fifteen players on our list. And to me,

677
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: you're playing in the worst stadium in the league and

678
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: you're able to attract free agents into that thing you're doing,

679
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: You're doing something right. Listen. I don't know about the

680
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: ownership in Oakland. There have been questions about the front

681
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: office after Al Davis, but you know a lot of

682
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: I think people both in this room thought that Reggie

683
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: and outside this room thought maybe Reggie mackenzie got too

684
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: much rope. But maybe this is the story of letting

685
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: a guy and letting a guy see it through. And

686
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: now they got through all the cap hell they had

687
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: to deal with and being the biggest laughing stock in football,

688
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: and now they really seem to be perhaps turning the corner.

689
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: In Earnest, he earned our derision and now he's earned

690
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: ark credit. I think we're just being fair, and we've

691
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: been fair all along. It certainly helps to have top

692
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: five draft picks. Marc is there's something that Cleveland Browns

693
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: can learn from that standard? Well, I mean The thing

694
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: to learn is that these are the exact right teams

695
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: to be on this list. But they didn't just nail

696
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: a draft. They nailed a quarterback in the draft. I mean,

697
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: the whole a f C South outside of the Cults

698
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: is on this list. Texans did it a different way,

699
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: But the Titans and Jaguars have hope because we have

700
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: hope and Borders. We have hope and Marriott Mariota. And

701
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: so if you keep swinging and missing on quarterbacks, if

702
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: you're one of those teams that doesn't have one, you're

703
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be on this list. There's no team on

704
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: this list. Now. The Bears have Cutler. That's not that's

705
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: not too hot at the quarterback position, but there is

706
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: their hope here. It comes from the most important position

707
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It really hurts me to put Jay

708
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Cutler's team on this list. It's for every reason but

709
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: him though, And yeah, that's true. I'm actually stunned. I mean,

710
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Raiders fans are looking for for more attention from us

711
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: after last week. Got saw tweet about that. But they

712
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: they're at a point now on their defense that you

713
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: still look at it in the back seven and there's

714
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: still a whole. I mean, it's nice that they got

715
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: Seohn Smith. He I don't think he's gonna change your

716
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: entire team. I think he's a good cornerback. David Amerson

717
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: was one of the best waiver pickups in a while.

718
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: You gotta hope that he he does it again. You're saying, say,

719
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: are a little shaky your linebackers. You know, let's let's see.

720
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: I still have a lot of questions on that. On

721
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: that defense, how good they're gonna be? And then when

722
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: it comes to borders and cars, you're right that they're

723
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: providing all the promise in the world. We both think

724
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: really highly of them, but they're on finished products, Like,

725
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: we don't know how high their ceiling is. I think

726
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: we've we now know that their floor is pretty good.

727
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: That you can get by with those two guys, but

728
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: how good are they going to be? It's a it's

729
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: a big difference between being a top five guy, which

730
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: I think both of them have the potential to be,

731
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: or somewhere close. Don't you agree with that? We don't

732
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: know the ceiling. But when you were even in the

733
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: free agent process, because the Raiders it wasn't just draft

734
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: this time around, they were big players. With their they're

735
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: able to get better free agents, not just junk which

736
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: was the only option to add players a couple of

737
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: years ago. People looking other other NFL players, looking at

738
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: the Jaguars with Bordles, looking at the Radars Raiders with

739
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: car that is an attractive something attracted to latch onto

740
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: if they if one of these teams had taken Manzell,

741
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: for instance, and they wouldn't be on this list if

742
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: you don't have that quarterback. I I just I think

743
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: it's just they have money and they're paying it. And

744
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe it helped with the Raiders this year. But even

745
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Reggie McKennis, Reggie mackenzie said, people are calling us now

746
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: that the whole dynamics flipped, and money is always at

747
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: the core of it. But the Raiders actually look like

748
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: a team that players would want to go play for now,

749
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: not just gonna paycheck. Agree, And I like the moves

750
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville, I like Mukamart. Just adding respectable starting players

751
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: when you had way below league average talent starting for

752
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: your team helps a lot. So he's only there one year,

753
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: but I think they're ready to compete there there. They

754
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: have Kelvin Beecham in the house today. Maybe they'll wind

755
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: up signing him before they leave. That would be a

756
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: nice little move, I think the Jaguars, I mean, it's

757
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it, it's now time. I mean

758
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: they if they don't make the playoffs this year, it's

759
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: a disappointment, but good for them for not blowing it up, lad,

760
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: Like you're finally we were able to see Caldwell's plan

761
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: coming to place. And every one of the teams on

762
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: this list, the pair up of the coach and GM,

763
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: you don't hear a lot of garbage and in fighting

764
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: and you know derision there were. They're essentially partners each

765
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,959
Speaker 1: one of these teams. And that's a team that doesn't

766
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: have that though, Like if they they have Shriven them

767
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: a nice roster now, both guys coming in from other teams.

768
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: They have the drafts that have produced some nice players.

769
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: If you're still going to go four and twelve this year,

770
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: at a certain point, you gotta say, well, we gotta

771
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: go in a different direction. Up top, Yeah, because it

772
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: sounds like the Jaguars look like they can build a

773
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: good team on paper, but if the defense continues to stink,

774
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: if they if they blew that up, the next coach

775
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: or GM that comes in has a lot to work with.

776
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: It would be a very attractive I think if that ever,

777
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: if there was any change there, I just feel like

778
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: it would be the coach and not the general manager

779
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: called well and Bradley was a defensive coach, I mean

780
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: compared to last year. Now he can work with Malik Jackson,

781
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler, Gibson, Mukamara. I mean that's a lot of

782
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: extra So Mark's healthy for a whole year too. Valor

783
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: really is an X factor too, because he was supposed

784
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: to be a can't miss guy, and you never know

785
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: how somebody comes back from a knee injury, but some

786
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: people come back like they never missed us missed a beat.

787
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: So if he turns out to be a real like player,

788
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: this team could be a lot different. Am I gonna

789
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: get sucked in? Are they gonna be the team around

790
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: the NFL? I don't know, But oh, they're a strong candidate.

791
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: Are they a nominee? Potentially? I think I think the

792
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: Raiders are. I think I think the Raiders, the Jaguars,

793
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: the Rams, they're all candidates. The Rams A I like

794
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: the idea of the Rams, but it's it's hard with

795
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: the quarterments. Watch Case Keenum every week. I'm just saying

796
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: we're out here, how there's never gonna be a time

797
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: in our lives, or that a team is moving to

798
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles maybe next year. Other than that, this is

799
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: the first time the team is moving back here we

800
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: work for you know, we're here at the NFL there

801
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: like the new team who knows well their quarterback plan

802
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: might not be finished it West. Nothing is more discouraging

803
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: than how West has turned on Case Keenum. The team

804
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: of at L. Do you want to get down on

805
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: all Day Sunday cover in football and you're like, yeah,

806
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch Jeffer Jeff Fisher's team play

807
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: football when I get up and watch game pass, give

808
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: me a break. Hey, yeah, we're running into the same

809
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: wall we do every year, where at first it's like, oh,

810
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be like a fun like group dynamic

811
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: figuring out who the team of a t L is,

812
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: and then then we slowly come to realize it's just

813
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: whatever West wants. Hey, I didn't stick you guys with

814
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I was. I have no regrets about the Chargers.

815
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: I have I have regrets. Yeah, I went along for

816
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: the ride on that one. You certainly did not. You

817
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: weren't loyal to the cause, and people remember that was

818
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: because I was the one who made sense. Um. So anyway,

819
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about you want to get into the Chicago Bears.

820
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Maybe they could be a nominee. They could come back

821
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: from the dead in West's life. Well, I think you

822
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: they have a similar thing with Dante Fowler. Where you

823
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: get Kevin White, who was one of my favorite rookies

824
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: going into the summer last year and then he was

825
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: lost for this season. You've got all Sean Jeffrey as

826
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: your fan franchise player. That's a dynamic young duo there.

827
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the ball, I

828
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: think Ryan Pace their GM deserves a lot of credit

829
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: for overhauling that linebacker corps uh from a four three

830
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: into a three four that really suits Vic Fongio. And

831
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: he got pno Pernell McPhee last year who should have

832
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: been a Pro bowler, and then this year to get

833
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Danny Trevathan Darrell Freeman. That's a really good inside linebacker duo.

834
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: He's really remade this defense to suit Fongio. Well, it

835
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: was it was amazing how well they played last year.

836
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: With so few guys that have ever played in the

837
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,479
Speaker 1: NFL before. They just they just had a bunch of

838
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, slappy's, as they would say, are guys just

839
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: playing for the first time. And yet they were very competitive,

840
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: like they were just as good as plenty of defense,

841
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: as like the Bills, who had tons of million dollar plays.

842
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: I like Dravathan. That's one of my favorite moves of

843
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: the off season. I thought he was underrated in Denver.

844
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: Keem Hicks by the way, like he was an afterthought

845
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: when the Patriots trade for him. Now he gets two

846
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: years ten million dollars. Should be thanking Old Billy b

847
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: for getting them paid. Does it concern you the gas

848
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: is gone, though I think the Gates had a lot

849
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: to do with It was a watchable offensively at best.

850
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't great, but everyone loves gaze that's played.

851
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Gaye is the genius everyone says he is.

852
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: I guess I'll believe it when I see it. Ryan

853
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: Tannehill into a quarterback, I believe it if I'm a

854
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: Bearrass fan, though I'm worried that I think they overachieved

855
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: to win six games last year. So soft Sex you're

856
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: calling them, so I'm just saying they're gonna have to

857
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: be better just to win seven games, you know what

858
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean? The biggest Worrior is still Jay Cutler, that

859
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: he's their quarterback. Um. One more point I wanted to

860
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: make about this guy's now when it comes to time

861
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: for a Hard Knocks season, they like to pick teams

862
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: that are a little downtrodden, that has some juice. So

863
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: on some level, I like this. This group of five

864
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: teams is maybe a Hard Knocks Kenny. Which one of

865
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: these five teams would make a best fit on the

866
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: ground baking HBO documentary series, Easy choice. It's the Raiders.

867
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: It's overdue to have a Raiders Hard Knocks. It's just

868
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: just the Mark Davis alone. I want more Mark Davis

869
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: in my life. I mean, it's not want Vans the Van,

870
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: the box top Van, Raiders. It's it would be a

871
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: great wouldn't the Raiders want to do it too? Come on, Raiders?

872
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: Because you have to look at what you're you've got

873
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. That's a boring mix of individuals for the

874
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: most part. The Bears. I don't want to see John

875
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: Fox for five weeks. Jay Cutler Kristen Cavalery at Home Action.

876
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: Come on, please, I mean Raiders make sense less. J

877
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: Cutler in my life. I think they're gonna show. I

878
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: don't know gonna show, but I'd be interested to see

879
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: what happens. Just make it sounds Listen, it's HBO all

880
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: the Cutler Calvs action out all the young quarterbacks on

881
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: this list. Though I like Mariota the best. That's important.

882
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: Bords is my number one. I think has a chance

883
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: for like greatness. The Jaguars are like when you talk

884
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: about um hard Knocks. If you look at the NFL

885
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: as a classroom, the Jaguars of the team where the teacher,

886
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: which is like the HBO executive okay, who wants to

887
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: be the team, and their hands waving wildly and it's

888
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: like holding up the arms like me, me, me, and

889
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: they're like look around, pretend not to see the jen bars.

890
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: That's what happens every year. Maybe this is the year

891
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: they get a little Level'll see last great piece. I'm

892
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: looking forward to you reading at your big time Hard

893
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: Knocks fan. Do you remember the strange season that wasn't

894
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks but was that was the Jaguars? Yes, that

895
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: was weird. What was that It was an NFL Films

896
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: production and not mistakes, but it was an NFL network

897
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: aired NFL. It was Yeah, HBO did not have its

898
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: fingerprints on it. It was weird that very similar. It

899
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: might have been during that period where Hard Knocks went

900
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: underwater for a little bit. Was it was? Anyway? Good

901
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: good talk, good Hard Knocks history talk. Okay, so that's

902
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: it for today's show. You know we could we can't

903
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: do like seventy minutes is every every show. We gotta

904
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: get back to our roots where we like to do tight,

905
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: tight fifties whatever the material calls. Yeah, we don't have

906
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: to stretch things out all the time, right Mark? I

907
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: would agree. I mean, why not have a show that's

908
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of clipped and get right to business. It's like

909
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: the new you know, the new Kendrick Lamar. I'm just
