1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: They Around the NFL podcast, but in one of those

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Papa shot basketball games and has seen their productivity drop exponentially.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of Around the NFL. I'm Dan hanss.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: I got a virtual room filled with heroes. Greg Rosenthal,

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Colleen Wolf. Yes, Santa did import a Papa

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Shot into my home in December, and I've gotten quite

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: good at it.

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: A and B.

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: I do use it way more than my own children.

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: Mmm, I don't know you have.

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 4: A Paapa Shot. I'm gonna come over. That's great.

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the official one too. Okay, it's not

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: a knockoff.

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: Do you ever like gradually pete against them and talk

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: trash when they can't stand up to you because they're

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: just little kids?

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: No, because they I am so much better than them

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: that there's no way to actually compete in any meaningful way.

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of more solo private time for

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: old Zeuser and the Papa Shot. And then if whenever

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the kids have any interest in playing, I'll throw them

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: a bone and watch them and tell them they're doing great,

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: but they're really not. Like I'm so much better than

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: the matter.

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: This was my approach with the sport of tennis with

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: my children, which I've dialogued with you guys about before,

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: where it was like an absolute seek and destroy mission, right,

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: and like let's not leave any wiggle room about who's

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: the most dominant performer.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's exactly how I feel. I sometimes you

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: have to, like, all, my eldest son, Jack has really

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: gotten into playing basketball, and so we'll go across the street.

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: My neighbor has a hoop and we'll play, and you know,

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: I let them hang around in games. And then, as

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: an eight year old, boys want to do. Yeah, as

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: an eight year old boys want to do. You know,

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: if you start giving him some open looks and all

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden it looks like he's gonna win, then

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: I have to just actually drop the hammer and bring

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: him down to earth. And I think, if you if

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat your dad, you're gonna have to do

42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: it for real. I'm not handing out these fake dad victories.

43
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Come and get me for real. So I let him

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: get close and then take him down. That's my dad philosophy.

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: That's the only build up knockdown.

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: Can't let their heads get too big.

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he starts playing dirty starts elbowing you. That's

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: when you know he's a real man.

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: Exactly, Connie, how are you? You are under the weather today?

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: So we really do thank you, and today is an

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: important episode. We're going around the AFC in forty eight

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: minutes coming off draft week. You were there, of course,

53
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: and I was thinking, because it's always been kind of

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: weird to me, and I don't know how you guys

55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: feel about it, but like, we know one Colleen and

56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: then she shows up at these league events and she's

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: dressed like up like she's going to the oscars, and

58
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: it's just like it's kind of just jarring for me

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: in terms of cognitively, like when you are the dressed

60
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: up like a award show tent pole event, con is

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: that Colleen Wolf? Is that Connie Fox? Like who are

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: you right now? And who is that? You know?

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 5: I was actually thinking that is a totally separate representative

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: that I'm not even really that familiar with. She is

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: new to the scene and she only shows up like

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 5: maybe once a year, but she brings it and now me,

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 5: Colleen Wolf and Connie Fox, we have to suffer the consequences.

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: So my representative in Kansas City really did some great work,

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 5: but also my travels there. I got stuck in Denver.

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 5: I had to sleep on a bench in the airport

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 5: for an hour and then fly to Dallas to get

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: to Kansas City to do DJ's mock draft on like

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: an hour of sleep, and they lost my bags and

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: so I started off.

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: Really on a bad note.

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 5: And now I think everything has caught up with me.

77
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: So here we are. I'm actually not hungover. I'm sick.

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Colleen. When you were on our show last time, when

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: it was you and Clayban, you you mentioned that, you know, honestly,

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: it was a nice thing to share with the fans

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: that sometimes you deal with imposter syndrome, which which a

82
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: lot of people do. But do you find that that

83
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: the event Colleen maybe doesn't suffer from that, because maybe

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: that's your true self that comes out, you know, say,

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: like you said, two or three days a year, is

86
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: that the more authentic Colleen?

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: No, it's all an act. It's all truly an act.

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 5: Okay, it's still the genuine Colleen is inside.

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: That's like, what am I doing here? Why are they

90
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: sending me out on stage? Why am iy a hype man?

91
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: But here we go? So you it's it helps you.

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Do tremendous work. You didn't answer the question, though, is

93
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: that is that Connie Fox?

94
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: It has shades of Connie Fox for sure.

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: That's and and who's talking about I don't know.

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: I think it's a new you know, because I'm sick.

97
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: I think I'm just going in between all of the

98
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 5: different representatives right now. No one has the wheel for sure,

99
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: so the car is going to crash at some point.

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: And I don't know really who's right, So you.

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Have multiple personality. It's a disorder. All right, we're gonna

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna hang in there. Hopefully Aunt Doreen makes an appearance.

103
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: We're excited. So yes, let's get caught up on one

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: bit of news before we get dive into the AFC.

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: It came out of Green Bay. Of course, it's a

106
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: whole new era for the Packers with Aaron Rodgers now

107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: with the Jets and Jordan Love the quarterback. They had

108
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: a decision to make. It's a little clunky and awkward

109
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: the way it all came out where they took Jordan

110
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: Love as the first round pick three years ago. He

111
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: hasn't played yet, and now when he's about to take

112
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: over as the starter, the team has to make the decision,

113
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: as every team on first round picks do, on whether

114
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: they pick up their options. So instead of of the

115
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: fifty year options, so instead of doing that, the team

116
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: signed Love to an extension in which they greggie pay

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: him a different amount an actual a lesser amount, and

118
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: I suppose keep their options. What did you take out

119
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: of this? Why did the Packers go this route rather

120
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: than just pick up the fifth year option.

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: I was very surprised by this, Like a couple of

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: things can be true. It's absolutely a good move for

123
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: Green Bay. I think you know, they got him on

124
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: a very team friendly contract, and if you're Jordan Love,

125
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: I understand the idea of let's take some guaranteed money

126
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 3: right now. He got like a signing bonus that he

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: wouldn't have had otherwise. But I was just surprised that

128
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: they started at the point of like, actually, no, we're

129
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: not giving you a fifth year option. That's not something

130
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: we're interested in. That's like even twenty million dollars is

131
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: too much to guarantee without seeing you on the field.

132
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 3: And the fact that they are so committed to this

133
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: plan by getting rid of Aaron Rodgers, but they're not

134
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: committed enough that they even are confident enough to keep

135
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: Jordan Love into twenty twenty four. It's it's an eyebrow

136
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: razor and they're they're keeping their options and it means

137
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: he might not be on the team next season.

138
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 2: The one like for the lam Armie people that are

139
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: trumpeting the fact that you know, he did all what

140
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: he did without an agent and doesn't have to pay

141
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: those agent fees, which you know, I guess in the

142
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 2: rear view mirror that does look good. But I'm not mistaken.

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: It's David Mullagetta, who is Love's agent at least he

144
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 2: was a year ago, so he's able to both get

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: the highest guaranteed money for a quarterback ever in NFL

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: history and then go do this deal which looks sort

147
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: of like Love got slightly snowballed here, So quite a

148
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: versatile move from the agency.

149
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 5: I thought it was interesting on Saturday that Brian Gudakun

150
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: said it's when he was asked about Jordan Love whether

151
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 5: or not they would pick up his option, he said,

152
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: it's a lot of money for a guy who hasn't played.

153
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: But at the same time, obviously we're moving forward with him,

154
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: so we're going to figure it out by Tuesday, So

155
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: he kind of knew obviously that that was that sum.

156
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 5: It would have guaranteed him I think twenty point two

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 5: million dollars the fifth year option, So they save a

158
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: lot of money going thirteen point five now, and then

159
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 5: I guess, for love, if he does come out this

160
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: year and he does play well, he, in theory, has

161
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: more than one year to prove that he could be

162
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: the packer's future. So if he gets hurt or anything

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: like that, I guess it gives him a little bit

164
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: of insurance too. He's just not making the money he

165
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 5: could have.

166
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: It was sort of the opposite of betting on yourself.

167
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: That was the thing. He didn't want to bet on himself.

168
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: He wanted to take the money. And I totally get that,

169
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,239
Speaker 3: like it's some security, but it just starting at the point.

170
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: And I'm sure they told Mullageda this, like, you're not

171
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: getting that fifth year option, so will you take something else?

172
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: And if not, we'll we'll just roll with you and

173
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: you'll be on a one year contract.

174
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: A little weird, yeah, And the thing with the Green

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Bay cap situation, it's a little complicated because they have

176
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: over forty million in dead money from Aaron Rodgers' contract

177
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: on the cap this season, so this gives them some

178
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: relief on that end of things. And then I think

179
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: that it's thirteen million guaranteed either way for love next year,

180
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: which is I think it's a financial it's a cap move.

181
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: I think as well, there's a lot of maybe different

182
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: moving parts to it. One more thing about the Lamar thing,

183
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: I wish any of us would have thought, like literally

184
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: anyone else like in football, and it covers or would

185
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: have thought of it like this was always the way

186
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: he should have played it. Don't hire the agent, don't

187
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: communicate with the team, and then wait for one of

188
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: those other three guys and then just say give me that.

189
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: That would have been so eat And that's kind of

190
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: what happened. But with Jalen hurts his contract like that,

191
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: That's how I'm gonna do it going forward. If I

192
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: ever was in a similar situation, I'm just gonna wait.

193
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see who else is kind of on a

194
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: similar career trajectory or level in terms of our business,

195
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say, no, agency, give me that. And

196
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: even if I get a little bit less, I'm still

197
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: covering a making bank because I'm not paying the fee.

198
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing.

199
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is you don't have Tom Pelasero like

200
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 3: reporting the negotiations of like Will Brinson's contract at CBS

201
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: or anything.

202
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: That's right. That's the issue, all right. So either way,

203
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is the quarterback this year, and then they

204
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: have to see if he could play the guitar. That's

205
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. And Mark, if he could

206
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: play that guitar, he will play the guitar for a

207
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: long set in Green Bay. If not, they'll be on those.

208
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: It's also I mean, it's like from one angle and

209
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: I know this is so one you know, no one

210
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: on Twitter could handle this side of it. But it's

211
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: like Love isn't a weird situation. The Packers are in

212
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: a weird situation. They kind of compromise, Like, I know,

213
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: you didn't get as much money as you could have,

214
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: but you've also done nothing for the Packers. It's kind

215
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: of like you met in the middle here and we'll

216
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: see what happens. But I understand, like you've got to go.

217
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: It's all about the green Backs, and you got to

218
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: go get everything you can otherwise you're gonna get absolutely

219
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: destroyed verbally by everyone who covers the sport.

220
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: This is unprecedented, right, a player getting an extension without

221
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: ever doing anything.

222
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: Now, that was that was what was interesting, not the

223
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: not the not the the compromise, which does make some sense,

224
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: but more like, this has literally never happened with this

225
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: fifty option type. So they're they're setting a new uh

226
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: foundation for other teams to copy. If they're if they're

227
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: like feeling mixed, if like we kind of like you

228
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: sort of, maybe we'll see again.

229
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: If it's just about doing some cap tidy work, they

230
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: have to sign their rookie class, it's a different situation.

231
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: But if it's not really about that, I just would

232
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: have went with the Daniel Jones route. The Giants went

233
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: decline it, play out the fourth year and then see

234
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: where we're at. But they didn't do it. Let's see

235
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: what happens, all right, shall we shall? We dig into

236
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: the AFC post draft.

237
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: Let's go, yeah, like to get your own boys, Let's.

238
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Go exactly and if you want to take a overall look, Colleen,

239
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: I meant to tell you right after this, you and

240
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: I are going to do the Power Rankings podcast.

241
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Oh perfect.

242
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Check out NFL dot com slash Power Rankings or nfl

243
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: dot com slash handss to check out the latest power rankings.

244
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: So I've kind of I was underground working through all

245
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: this over the last couple of days, so I feel

246
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: pretty prepared for this. I hope you guys are as well.

247
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to spin through thirty two teams in two shows,

248
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: starting with the AFC thirty two, ninety sixteen and sixteen

249
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: teams to talk about let's do it justin. Starting out

250
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: for US is Mark Sessler on the Bills.

251
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: So I had a chance to watch a little bit

252
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: more of Dalton Kincaid and my takeaway and Greg, I

253
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: know you were talking him up a couple of shows

254
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: ago too, is I think he might wind up being

255
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: one of the best draft fits of any player in

256
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: the first round. I really it just fits exactly what

257
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: they need because he's, yeah, he's a tight end, but

258
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: he's really just basically their slot receiver. And I think

259
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: it shores up a wide out group that looked a

260
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: little thin after Stefan Diggs and Gave Davis, so you

261
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 2: know they were quiet in free agency. I think Damien

262
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Harris was a good pickup and they did resign a

263
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: bunch of their own guys, but we're also watching like

264
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: the Dolphins and the Jets totally level up before our eyes. Well,

265
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: this is largely still the same Bills team as last year,

266
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's easy just to pencil them in

267
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: for like the AFC title game year after year, but

268
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 2: I think it ignores like how often last year they

269
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: looked kind of asleep on offense and the Josh Allen

270
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: had an up and down year, and I just wonder

271
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: how the Bills enough, like are they ripe to be

272
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: overrated all off season or should I just clim it

273
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: with that concept?

274
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: They did the right thing in Kansas City. I mean

275
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: that was the move. I think getting a playmaker in there.

276
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people connected wide receiver to him. They

277
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: went tight end, but yes, like you said, he could

278
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: play in the slot. Do I still really imagine if

279
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: they You know, they also add to the offensive line

280
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: with Osiris Torrens, and that was important because they took

281
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: a step back on the line last year and Josh

282
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: Allen was sacked thirty three times. I like that move,

283
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: do I really what? I love them to put the

284
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: cherry on top of the Andre Hopkins. Yes, I still

285
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: think It makes so much sense, even if you're hearing

286
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: continued reports about Hopkins going back to Arizona. Imagine this

287
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: would be seen as a smashing success in Buffalo if

288
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: they topped it off with that, and they would go

289
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: just steaming into the season. But yeah, I do agree

290
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: with you, Kincaid. Makes made so much sense for them there.

291
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: I thought it was telling Caiden box right. The first

292
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: two picks on offense to me, like they came into

293
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: this draft, We're gonna help out Josh Allen. Four of

294
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: the top or four of their six picks were on offense.

295
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: The first two.

296
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: Picks T minus one minute.

297
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: Oh, forget about that.

298
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Fix it.

299
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: I am wondering though, with Stefan Diggs, like gonna be

300
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: an issue that's sort of like an off season storyline.

301
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: It's like, let's keep an eye on Steffundis Connie.

302
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: I can't believe that they didn't get a corner back

303
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 5: until what like the last round in the draft.

304
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: That was kind of shocking to me.

305
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 5: So I forget how this works with the T minus

306
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: Like that's why I stopped talking.

307
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 4: Are we is this one where you get started?

308
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: Or no? Okay, that was one minute?

309
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: Oh that's great.

310
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, your ass gets started if you.

311
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 5: Go over though, Okay, yeah, I just like I was

312
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: really shocked that I knew that they would end up

313
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: getting a pass catcher. Obviously they went tight end instead

314
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: of a wide receiver because the tight end class was

315
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: so deep this year and so talented. But the fact

316
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: that they didn't get a corner kind of bothered me

317
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 5: about this whole draft class five.

318
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: The Stephan Digson is on my radar two, but Brandon

319
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: Bean said he wasn't concerned. I don't believe anything though.

320
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins Greg Roseval.

321
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: All right, they had a quiet draft, you know, just

322
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: because they didn't have their picks because the old hanky

323
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: panky with old Tom Brady and what not a year

324
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: ago trying to get that done with Sean Payton. But

325
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: I think their draft kind of continued a theme for

326
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: them in that they're like really deep. Their two first

327
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: picks Devin A. Chain was the running back in the

328
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: third round, and then Camp Smith at cornerback. Like, those

329
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: guys don't need to go in and play right away.

330
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: But I like those picks and they'll probably have a

331
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: role during the season. And I started looking up and

332
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: down this roster, and I gotta say it's a trend.

333
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: Like they have backups I like throughout their defense, like

334
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: too deep, they got them at running back. I like

335
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: the backups and wide receiver, I like the backups. Offensive

336
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: line is maybe an issue, but overall I look at

337
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: this as one of the best rosters in the league.

338
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: Like to and the offensive line are a little bit

339
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: of an issue, but otherwise I think it's one of

340
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: the best rosters in the entire NFL.

341
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Quick story Friday morning last week after the first round,

342
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: I went golfing with my father in law, Bob baits

343
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: Dds and it was like a top golf place, so

344
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: there was a bar and I went to get a

345
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: couple of drafts before we hit the course and as

346
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm paying up the tab, the guy notices my name

347
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: and he goes man, So they didn't send you to

348
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: the draft, huh? And first of all, that coming hurt

349
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: a little.

350
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: Bit, a little bit of a dig there a.

351
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Little bit of a day got defensive, and I was like, oh, well,

352
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: we don't really want to go. But anyway, he.

353
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: Turns out you like a runaway, like they didn't send

354
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: Brinson either.

355
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Shut up, no, But it turns out he was a

356
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins fan, and we started chatting up a little bit,

357
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: and I agreed, even as a Jets fan where he's

358
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: coming from, where it's like Miami, Like remember before two

359
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: got hurt, they were humming almost on a historic level.

360
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: On offense, they have a lot of pieces on both

361
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Nobody's talking about the Dolphins, and

362
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's a good place to be the AFC East

363
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: sleeper sell here with all these other teams getting the hype. Yeah,

364
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. As a team. They could be a team

365
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: that wins eleven games this year. Easy.

366
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: Well, it is funny because it was a year ago

367
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: that everyone's like, oh, are we going to get four

368
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: teams from the AFC West and the playoffs? And two

369
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: of the AFC West teams didn't win more than six games.

370
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: So I'll wait and see what happens with the actual division.

371
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: But I am with you on the Dolphins. No one's

372
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: talking about them. I think. I really think in general

373
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: it's the two experience that there's just this general lack

374
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: of faith that Tua is one of those four or

375
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: five guys despite what happened last year. I'm not sure

376
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: it's fair, but I mean, you have to show that

377
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: you can get through a season with that quarterback or

378
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: like we have Mike White starting games, which I don't hate.

379
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, and when I look at what the Dolphins did

380
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 5: this offseason, even before the draft, the fact that they

381
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: only had four picks going into the draft, but they

382
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 5: made the trade for Jalen Ramsey, which is huge because

383
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 5: it immediately filled a need for them. And then I

384
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 5: liked the first guy that they got, another cornerback. They

385
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 5: got Cam Smith who was really really good in the SEC.

386
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: And you know, I'm a big college football girl.

387
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: So that's that's that. There we go right out the clock.

388
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call time out. I'm going to use their

389
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: first time out because I just want to cycle back

390
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: to interaction with the guy at the top golf bar.

391
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: It was a little bit and more more annoying too

392
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: because he kind of looked behind him at the TV

393
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: that was on NFL Network before making the comment, and

394
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: it was Jeremiah on the screen.

395
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: You're losing all over the place in that interaction.

396
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Now for you. So like when he goes, you know,

397
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: so they didn't send you the draft, huh? I was like,

398
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: my real response should have been well, you're not at

399
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: the draft either. Didn't think of it fair. That would

400
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: have really put him in his place.

401
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: Dan, did he by chance dig down and discuss, you know,

402
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: what he thought about the other characters on the show.

403
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: Thoughts and feelings about Red Mark Colleen.

404
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: What does he think about Mark?

405
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: He says he loves you, Mark, and he thinks you're

406
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: a special person and a beautiful boy.

407
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: You can make.

408
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: Well.

409
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: They did send more to the draft.

410
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: All right, Mark Ross, maybe time in the New England Patriots.

411
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: So mac Jones is going to be there. But as

412
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: mac Jones set up for success, it couldn't be possibly

413
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: worse than last year. But they used their first three

414
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: picks on defensive players. Bill Belichick obviously, who's asked about

415
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: that specifically, Hey what about the offense? Not a lot

416
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: of playmakers there, And you know Bill, he's a ground

417
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: grumble grumble. That was the board and he was the

418
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: best players there and all that stuff. But anyway, you

419
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: have Juju Smith Schuster there now, and it's like, man

420
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: if Juju Smith Schuster didn't take off with Patrick Mahomes

421
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: last year, we pretty much know who he is right now,

422
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: right and he's fine. He's pretty versatile but not really

423
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: a big playmaker. Necessarily a nice red zone target, but

424
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: not special. Mike Aseki, I think the Dolphins maybe misused

425
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: them a little bit or under used them. I like

426
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: him as a prospect, but they haven't proved that they

427
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: can get a tight end going since Gronk left. Is

428
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: there enough there? I mean, are they setting up mac

429
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Jones for failure again? But in a little bit of

430
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: a different way.

431
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: I think number one, Like I give them an automatic

432
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: sense of probably rising up much more than last year.

433
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: Just because Bill O'Brien, I mean, for all his issues

434
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: as a GM, he can run an offense. He and

435
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: mac Jones are super tight. I think that heals that

436
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: whole situation to some degree. But I'm with you, Dan,

437
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: Like when I look around at the other offenses in

438
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: the AFC, a super top heavy conference. I look at

439
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: the Patriots and it's just like at the end of

440
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: the rainbow, here's what I see. Zero when it comes

441
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: to that side of the ball, there's no way they're

442
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: gonna win with eleven twelve games. I trust their defense, but

443
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: it's like I think, Bill Belichick, it's like you've had

444
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: two off seasons to go correct this to course correct

445
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: a rather bland attack, and last year you went completely

446
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: in the direction and you're sitting in neutral this offseason.

447
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 4: Does he want to fix it?

448
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 5: Like, because it doesn't really seem that way when you

449
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 5: pass all of these tight ends that are supposed to

450
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: be so good and the wide receivers you don't You

451
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 5: don't draft a pass catcher until round six.

452
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: I mean that is kind of a slap to Mac Jones.

453
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: And I do though, like Christian Gonzales a lot, the

454
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 5: guy that they traded down for. He's a really good player,

455
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 5: and I feel like that's going to be a huge,

456
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 5: huge boon for that secondary.

457
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you draft Kaishan Ba in the sixth round,

458
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: you got to get excited about that. Boote was a

459
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: guy who's kind of interesting for a six round pick,

460
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: who people thought would be a top ten first round

461
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: type pick. He had a little Boote to the mix.

462
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: You're feeling good.

463
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: How about I'll put on my tinfoil hat. Now. Robber

464
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: Craft wouldn't let Bill trade Mac, so Bill says, I'm

465
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: just not going to build up the offense and get

466
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: him out of the picture next year and then build

467
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: up on offense after he's gone.

468
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 3: On a real note, I do think there's something too

469
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: like Bill wants to do it again. He wants to

470
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: do it with defense. He wants to dig when they

471
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: rest of the league. Zact. They were third and fourth

472
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: in DVOA the last two years with pretty lackluster looking

473
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: rosters going into the season on defense, and they had Gonzales.

474
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: They thought they got a great pick with Keon White,

475
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: and they're pretty loaded on their defensive line and their

476
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: defensive backfield. I think Bill thinks, if I make my

477
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: defense look number one, at least I look good and

478
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: maybe we read yeah.

479
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: But Greg the third and fourth and DVOA and went nowhere.

480
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 3: Right, Well, they're just I feel like they're just looking

481
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: for ten wins. They're the new Saints. I mean, they're

482
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: hoping to get to eight. Shoot me in the neck,

483
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: shoot it with defense them. I want him. This is

484
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: like my personal game of Bitie. This is the only

485
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: way I feel alive.

486
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 4: This feels like it should be behind a paywall.

487
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: Colleen, the New York Jets.

488
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: All right, Well, the highlight of the draft came days

489
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 5: before with Aaron Rodgers finally becoming official. It wasn't so

490
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 5: much about splash like it was last year. It was

491
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 5: more about necessity, so it wasn't as sexy, which I

492
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: thought their draft last year was the sexiest.

493
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 4: But I thought that they.

494
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 5: Would get an offensive tackle, but all of the guys

495
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 5: were pretty much already gone at pick fifteen. I think

496
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 5: there were four guys potentially already gone by that point,

497
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 5: but so fifteen overall, they went will McDonald, who he's

498
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 5: been pretty good over the past four seasons on the edge.

499
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: She has thirty three sacks. I like that.

500
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 5: Addition for Robert Sala, I'm hoping that he plays better

501
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: than like this noise. I'm hearing about all of the

502
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 5: doubters in him going too high, but that's that. And

503
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 5: then on the offensive line, they did get a center,

504
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 5: Joe Tipman in the second round. I think that that

505
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 5: could be a long term solution for them, and then

506
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 5: potentially someone who could help clear some lanes for Breese

507
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 5: Hall once he's back from his ACL So then the

508
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 5: right side of that line would be Tipman, Elijah Arah Tucker,

509
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: and then Makai Beck. The biggest question of all. I

510
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 5: thought maybe they would remedy that in this draft, but

511
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 5: they're gonna just have to figure it out because they

512
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: got in the fourth round Carter Warren the tackle from Pitt.

513
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 5: He's a Jersey guy, but I just don't know if

514
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: he's going to be a guy that can start right away.

515
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: He missed most of the last six months with that

516
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: knee injury.

517
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 5: A lot of people say that he could have been

518
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 5: like a Day two pick, but I don't know if

519
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 5: he'll be able to play right away, and they kind

520
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 5: of need someone to play it right away. And then

521
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 5: that backup plan that they did at running back, I

522
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 5: like with Breeshall coming off the injury and getting I

523
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 5: don't know how to pronounce his name. I'm not going

524
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 5: to try and pronounce his name, but I know that

525
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 5: they call him Izzy instead of Israel Izzy.

526
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah. So he's fast, and he's got big play threat,

527
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 4: and he could make an immediate impact.

528
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: So they went out and you know, they try to

529
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: push back on the idea that they got screwed out

530
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: of a tackle in round one, But then they went

531
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: out right after the draft and went and got Billy

532
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: turned Or, a veteran who used to start for the

533
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: Packers started games for the Broncos last year, and it

534
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: is that's the biggest vulnerability of the team right now,

535
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: my opinion is that they didn't add a blue chip

536
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: prospect at the tackle, and if they deal with injuries again,

537
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: you have a thirty nine year old quarterback and a

538
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: leaky offensive line. That's how bad things happen. That's how

539
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Rogers is either less effective or gets injured. And then

540
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: as of right now, Zach Wilson comes in. If Aaron

541
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers gets injured, that's another kind of weird subpotle around

542
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: this team. Zach Wilson is still there and you have

543
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: an elderly quarterback and it's like there is a scenario

544
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: where he ends up seeding time to Zach Wilson. So

545
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: there are some doomsday scenarios, but this has always been

546
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: a big swing for the Jets and there are risks involved.

547
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: I think that there are nothing but kind of positive

548
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: reports about Mackay Beckt in this offseason. There where a

549
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: year ago is like does this guy want to do this?

550
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: We're not sure and he gets hurt. I mean, you

551
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: have to hope that had they stayed healthy along the

552
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: line last year, they would have been fine. So it's

553
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: like if you get better, better luck on that front

554
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 2: and Beckton turns out eight, I think you're all right,

555
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: if you lose Rogers, like the whole plan goes to hell. Anyways.

556
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 3: Four three he's a durable old guy. He never misses games.

557
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: What do you mean? Sixteen sixteen, sixteen, sixteen, seventeen. Those

558
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: are his starts the last seven years.

559
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: Sixty good point. All right, hey man, old God, listen

560
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: from your lips to God's ears. He's going to be healthy.

561
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and we'll move to the AFC North.

562
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back AFC East End, the rear View

563
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: AFC in forty eight minutes. Up next is the AFC North,

564
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: and Connie, we're kicking it back to you to talk

565
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals.

566
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 5: All right, let's talk about the Bengals and what they

567
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 5: did here in Kansas City. They kind of went Day

568
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 5: one was best available. I really thought that Cincinnati would

569
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 5: draft a tight end or a dB in the first round,

570
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 5: and instead they went with an edge play Miles Murphy.

571
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 5: So they're going to just try and build that rotation

572
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: that they have with Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard and

573
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 5: then eventually Miles Murphy can be a starter.

574
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: But I don't know were.

575
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: You guys shocked about this, the fact that they didn't

576
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 5: get a tight end and one of the deepest, most

577
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: talented classes in a while.

578
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean it think it's sort of like a result

579
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: of like every mock draft suggesting they would and it

580
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: was in need. Like there's reports now that like Irv

581
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: Smith is sort of locked in as their guy, which

582
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: I don't love that because, if anything, Cincinnati has been

583
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: an embarrassment of riches all over the field, and like

584
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: going and getting a young one of those young athletic

585
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: tight ends would have been transformative I think for the offense.

586
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: So I'm with you. I was surprised that they avoided it. Essentially,

587
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: they they avoided the whole draft, and they don't have

588
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: a lot of answers. The one thing I do love,

589
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: I think the Orlando Brown signing was a great kupdeta

590
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 2: for them.

591
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: I see Joe Mixon now still on the roster, Lyle

592
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: Collins still on the roster, Joanah Williams still on the roster.

593
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: I think if the draft had falled fallen different, they

594
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 3: would take a tight end. But Kinkaid goes early. They

595
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 3: probably felt that that spot, like they're a premium position

596
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: type of team, like we're going to take the positions

597
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: that end up costing a lot of money in free agency,

598
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: and we're going to take them high in the draft.

599
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: And so you take Miles Murphy, who's very similar to

600
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: Hubbard and Hendrickson and replaces him, and then you take

601
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 3: dej Turner. I kind of love it's weird that they

602
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: went defense, defense, defense, but I do kind of love

603
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 3: that they're very Eagles like to me, and that they're

604
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: almost always planning a year out. They're always back drafting

605
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: for backups for guys that don't need to play right

606
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: away and then step into it. And they have a

607
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: really good history of like when they do step in,

608
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: that they're really good players and that they play a lot.

609
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: So it's a team that I think isn't as need

610
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: focused and is thinking long term, and they've kind of

611
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: deserved the benefit of the doubt.

612
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know what would have happened, but I

613
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: do wish we would have found out if Jamior Gibbs

614
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: was still on the on the clock when the Bengals picked.

615
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: Supposedly the Jets were maybe going to take him at fifteen,

616
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: which I don't know if I buy either, and the

617
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: pay would not have been happy with who knows, but.

618
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, like Gibbs when he goes off the board

619
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: and surprises everyone at twelve, that takes both of the

620
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: top quote unquote running backs in the class out of

621
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: the mix. They do go take Chase Brown in the

622
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: fifth round on Saturday. And you know the Joe Mixon situation.

623
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: You've heard so many comments about him from the team,

624
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: and you know he's facing criminal charges right now. But

625
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor got behind him a little bit after the draft.

626
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: His future is here with the team. I like Joe Mixon,

627
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: so I'm going to now operate under the assumption that

628
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: they're going to move forward with him. Does he have

629
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: a suspension coming? Is he still a good running back?

630
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: He took a step back last year. I think they're

631
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I'm cool with them focusing on defense.

632
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: Sy Dj Turner, Oh, she's already feeling ill and she's

633
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: just been shot by two darts that hit their target.

634
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: That is not Yeah, that's the immune system takes another hit,

635
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: all right. The Baltimore Ravens hey Man good times in

636
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Nest Lamar is paid, he's healthy right now.

637
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: He's surrounded by the best skill position talent he's ever had,

638
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: you have Beckham. You know, an opinions vary on what

639
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: Beckham's going to give you at this point in his

640
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: career with off his second ACL, but it's exciting. It's

641
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: an exciting signing. Rashad Bateman, Zay Flowers coming off the

642
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: board immediately, that's legitimately frisky Trio wide receivers. Mark Andrews

643
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: remains one of the best playmakers at tight end in football.

644
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like and don't underestimate Lamar Jackson with

645
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: a new contract that's all kind of out like from

646
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: the all the dark clouds that that brought with it.

647
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: Do we get like MVP level Lamar Jackson back this

648
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: year because he's been hurt of the last couple of years.

649
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: At times his play has not been as high a level,

650
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: certainly as it was in nineteen one of the the MVP.

651
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: Is he going to get back to that or will

652
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen ultimately be a bit of an outlier When

653
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: looking about at what he can.

654
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: Produce, I think, like, obviously it comes down to being there,

655
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: being present, because his lack of presence, his lack of durability,

656
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: took him out of that conversation and took the Ravens

657
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: out of the conversation in January as a serious contender.

658
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean, for me, there were moments last season trying

659
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: to think it was the I think it was the

660
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: Monday night game against the Saints where he made a

661
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: couple throws where it's like, this guy can do everything,

662
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: and like the way you have to plan form is insane,

663
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: and you've added Zay Flowers to add it. If you

664
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: get the good version of Odell Beckham, they're giving him

665
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: a chance, I think, to thrive through the air and

666
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: to do what he does on the ground, and you

667
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: got all the contract nonsense out of the way, So

668
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: you'd hope the head is clear, because I think it's

669
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: fair to question, like did he push as hard as

670
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: he could to play at the end of last year.

671
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that, but sort of

672
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: what everyone's talking about that doesn't happen this time around.

673
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's had really weird seasons of the last two seas.

674
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: I mean twenty twenty one, he looked like an MVP

675
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 3: for five weeks then kind of goes off a cliff,

676
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: gets hurt. Last year similar where it was like a

677
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: really fast start and then again kind of the injuries

678
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: in the play. I mean, it's a huge sea change

679
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: to have Todd Monk and the excuses are out. There's

680
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: no Greg Roman, there's receivers this team. There's too many

681
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 3: teams in the AFC that are going to be disappointed

682
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: because they feel like almost a super Bowler bus team

683
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: because everything's loaded. Their front seven on defense isn't amazing.

684
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: But other than that, man, they are like kind of

685
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: loaded for bear as much. And I'm excited that Greg

686
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: Roman is not there and they have a different coordinator.

687
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 5: Lamar is in good shape for this year, like adding

688
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 5: Odell Beckham but then adding Zay Flowers, who can do

689
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 5: a lot of different things on the field. You can

690
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: play him out of the slot, you can line them

691
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 5: up outside too, and like I mean, he's he's so good.

692
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: That's a great addition to that passing game. I was

693
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 5: really surprised that DaCosta. We didn't see him like moving

694
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 5: around at all either, Like usually we see him making

695
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 5: trades and being involved in some of these like more

696
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 5: splashy things. And I guess the splashy thing was getting

697
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 5: Lamar signed.

698
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: They didn't give a Patrick Queen a fifth your option

699
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 3: by the way.

700
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they declined that when was the Lamart has to

701
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: take a poop game.

702
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: End of two years ago, that that was.

703
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: The last time whatever put down the trank. That was

704
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: the last time that that he felt like a superstar

705
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: when he had a taken poop and he came out

706
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: and shredded the Browns in that great back and forth game.

707
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: That's the guy I want back. And in twenty twenty,

708
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: it looks like.

709
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: About that Dolphins game that was like fifty one, wasn't

710
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 3: that crazy? Last year? In Week two that was you know,

711
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, that's right, same game, back and forth.

712
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: But you're right, it's been hit and miss hit miss.

713
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: All right up next, you.

714
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: Know, we should have used the time out. Also, it

715
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: wasn't surprising Patrick Queen didn't get a fifth year option.

716
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: I misspoke, like he's kind of been on the outs.

717
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

718
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers Greg Rosenthal, all Right.

719
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: My question is just as Matt Canada and Kenny Pickett

720
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: up to the challenge, Like that's my big question because

721
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 3: it's another team that I really like their draft, I

722
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: like their offseason. I think they've added enough on their

723
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 3: offensive line with BROGERC. Jones, and they also had a

724
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: quiet move in free agency Isaac Saamalo, who's a good

725
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: pickup at guard. So like they have receivers, they have

726
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: the running backs. I think the offensive line is better.

727
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 3: But they kept Matt Canada and like Kenny Pickett was

728
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: a good rookie quarterback. I think he beat lowish expectations.

729
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: But the harder part is like, okay, you're you were

730
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: a decent rookie quarterback. Can you take that year or

731
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: two leap? Like if Matt Canada and Pickett are up

732
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: to the challenge, this is a fun little team.

733
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: We were pretty tough on Canada last year early on,

734
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: and you know, if you look back, he struggled with

735
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: a late career Ben Roethlisberger who was breaking down, and

736
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: then you had a rookie quarterback and you had Mitch

737
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: Trubisky and it was just like, not a great situation.

738
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: The offense took a while to grow, but by the

739
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: end of the year, I thought the whole thing looked

740
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 2: a lot better and I kind of stopped thinking about

741
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: Matt Canada the same way. But you know, handling the

742
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: a young career, like the young career of a quarter

743
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 2: is so important that if he looks if he stands

744
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: out is not creative enough or not really capable enough.

745
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 2: I think he's got one year. Matt Canada topproved that

746
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: he can make this offense basically sing.

747
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 5: I think that we could see Kenny Pickett make that

748
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 5: jump this year. We saw from him flashes of what

749
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 5: he can potentially do, especially with George Pickens making incredible catches.

750
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 5: I don't know what Alan Robinson has left and how

751
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 5: he'll look on this offense, but I mean, I just

752
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 5: remember being in Pittsburgh for that Christmas Eve game and

753
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 5: watching at the very end when I mean, obviously Derek

754
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 5: Carr helped them out with some of those interceptions, but

755
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 5: watching Kenny Pickett make that play Pickett to Pickens, I

756
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 5: believe it was and the whole place just erupted, and

757
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 5: it was the frank O Harris game, and it just

758
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 5: felt like they finally started to kind of get some

759
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 5: of that momentum late in the season.

760
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 4: And then their draft I like too.

761
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 5: I like Broderick Jones adding tackle there, and then of

762
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 5: course Joey Porter Junior, who was like the most exciting

763
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 5: guy to be mocked to them all off season long.

764
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: They really are moving forward. Of course, it's been a

765
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: couple of years now, but it really does start. They've

766
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: now rebooted post Big Ben. They've used their last three

767
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: first round picks on offensive players. It was Naj Harris,

768
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: then the quarterback picket now Broderick Jones and I agree.

769
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: This is you know, Pickett entering his second season. You're

770
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna want to see growth there, and I think there

771
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 1: he's set up better than he was last year.

772
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: So you know, it's like stands out to me.

773
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm down.

774
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: Like the good teams now they rebuild in one season.

775
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: There is no three yearly four year rebuild like the

776
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: good teams turn it around to go through transformation one

777
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: year and that's what the Steelers.

778
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why, like Daniel Jones was an outlier in

779
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: that sense. Usually it's your quarterback after two years track

780
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: me does feel good? Up next? You might have to

781
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: up the power of the trank because you've tranked this

782
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: so many times. Justin that is.

783
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 4: Can I get one? Can I get in on that?

784
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: Can I get a hit of that track?

785
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: Thanks? Yeah, I think I've been like exceedingly obedient and

786
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: I've been tranked. I think not once You've been a

787
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 2: good boy, Mark.

788
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: I think that caught you in the eye, right in

789
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: the eye. Put the patch on them up next, Mark Sessler.

790
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns.

791
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: I feel like nobody's uh talking about the Browns, and

792
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: it's like I even think I just like kind of

793
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: write them off as a seven win team for a

794
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: lot of reasons that are I think a little bit

795
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: unfair because, if anything, when I look at the roster,

796
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't think there's enough pressure on the Browns right

797
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: now because they have a win now offense. Like just

798
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: look at the names you got, Nick Chubb, David Nijoku,

799
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper. If Elijah Moore works out, Donovan People's Jones,

800
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: I really like Cedric t. Hillman, their third round wide

801
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: receiver David Bell might work out. Their offensive line is

802
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: still good, and imagine if like Deshaun Watson is a

803
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: little bit better. And I think on defense, which was

804
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: a huge issue Jim Schwartz took over, I think it's

805
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: gonna be their issue was coaching. I love that upgrade there.

806
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: They got better in the middle. And it's like, I'm

807
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: not calling them a Super Bowl contender, but how is

808
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: really anything less than a wild card berth anything but

809
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: a complete flaming disaster for Kevin Stefanski. The roster is

810
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: better than people realize.

811
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 3: I hear you, but there's like only so much trum.

812
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 3: But I kind of agree that if they were in

813
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 3: the AFC South, I would make them the favorites. They

814
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: were in the NFC South, they would make them the

815
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: favorites a couple other divisions, like they'd be co favorites,

816
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: like the NFC North or something, But they're stuck in

817
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 3: this division. They're stuck in the AFC where some teams

818
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 3: are going to get disappointed. I think it's fair, though,

819
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: to look at that roster and they addressed their biggest

820
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 3: problems this offseason and say, like, they don't really have

821
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 3: huge problems other than Deshaun Watson stunk last year. If

822
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: he gets back to being a top ten quarterback, which

823
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: is a huge if, but then they could be rolling.

824
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

825
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 5: And the fact that they went so defensive heavy in

826
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 5: the top with the draft here, I mean, what Andrew

827
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 5: Barry had in this draft, what he had to work with,

828
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 5: was not that much, but I thought that the picks

829
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 5: were really solid with what he did, and then adding

830
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 5: a guy on the edge and adding a defensive tackle

831
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 5: and inside linebacker, they needed more guys in the middle

832
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 5: that could actually stop the run, that could actually make

833
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: a difference on that defensive line.

834
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 4: So I liked what they did.

835
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to be reductive about this, but and

836
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Browns during Power Rank. He's

837
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: like they're laying in the weeds a little bit in

838
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: my opinion, because if Watson is a limited quarterback at

839
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: this point, yeah, they're done. They're not just done this year,

840
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: They're done for multiple years. And that was part of

841
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: the gamble of the contract they gave Watson. But if

842
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: Watson does come back and have his game back, they

843
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: can absolutely hang in this division and in my opinion,

844
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: any division, because he was that good before everything went

845
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: sideways in his life. So I think it's I think

846
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: it's one of the big if we look at maybe

847
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: we'll do it later in the summer. Like the big

848
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: questions of the twenty twenty three NFL season, who is

849
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson? That is to me one of the biggest

850
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: because it defines it's a huge question mark in the

851
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: whole conference. For me.

852
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like I mean, his performance over six games,

853
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: it's not like, I guess, super surprising, but it leaves

854
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: you completely mystified about who he is. That's part of

855
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: the last thing he wanted as a sample sizes. We

856
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: have no idea who he is right now.

857
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: If he lights up, if he lights up the league

858
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: in September six, you know, the Browns are legitimately dangerous three.

859
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: But we just don't know if that guy's coming back.

860
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 4: We haven't seen him in a while.

861
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: That's his fault, not ours. Let's take a break and

862
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: then we will hit the AFC South. All right, welcome back.

863
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: We are going around the AFC in forty eight minutes,

864
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: three minutes a team, and we now moved to the

865
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: suddenly interesting or I could say intriguing AFC South. Mark

866
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: get us going with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

867
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, from like a DVA angle. They finished last year

868
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: with the ninth best offense and if you look at

869
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 2: if you break it down to over like the final

870
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: six weeks or so, they were like the third best

871
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 2: passing attack in the league. And so obviously Trevor Lawrence

872
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: made about as big of a leap of any quarterback

873
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: not named Jalen Hurts. It went perfectly for them down

874
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: the stretch, and they gave the Chiefs a fight in

875
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: January and there's really nothing not to like, and they've

876
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: added Calvin Ridley to the mix. So I guess what

877
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 2: I would ask you is like, are you buying the

878
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 2: Jaguars as the NFL's next consistently awesome passing attack slash

879
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: offense or do you think, like you know what, there

880
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: might be a sneaky regression here that people aren't ready

881
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 2: to deal with. And I guess, you know, I just say,

882
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: if you can smell, like what the rock is cooking,

883
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 2: what does it smell like to you?

884
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Caught me off balance of that one.

885
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: Well, she just came to mind, like, I mean, what's

886
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: happening here? Like they're back there cooking something up, and

887
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: it's like everyone's assuming it's going to be next step up.

888
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's a lock?

889
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: Are you a big rock fan? Are you?

890
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 4: I didn't notice about Mark.

891
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: Super multi talented. I wasn't. I mean, I know that

892
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 2: was his sort of tagline. I didn't track that his

893
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 2: career as a wrestler overly heavy because I don't watch wrestling.

894
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 3: But I'm a little anxious.

895
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: Let's get back in the track.

896
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little anxious. Just if I'm smelling something

897
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 3: like it smells. It smells. It smells good, but it's

898
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: not the spiciest thing in the world. I'm a little

899
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: anxious that, like all the rookies they signed this year,

900
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: they're not projected to necessarily start. They kind of just

901
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: stood on what their team was a year ago. They

902
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 3: made so much improvement and they spent so much money

903
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 3: a year ago that they sort of didn't have to

904
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 3: and these things go in cycle. They couldn't. They need

905
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 3: improvement from within. I'm more concerned about the defense, So

906
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: I guess to answer your question, I think it's more

907
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: likely that their offense stays quite good, uh, and that

908
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: there's not much regression there. I'm a little more worried

909
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: about the defense. They need Devin Lloyd, Treyvon Walkers.

910
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 5: About it, yeah, better, Like especially when you have Cam Robinson,

911
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 5: who he's going to face that suspension at the beginning

912
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 5: of the year. But they drafted Anton Harrison, who is

913
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 5: probably going to have to be play right away in

914
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 5: that situation.

915
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 4: But he was really really good.

916
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 5: He allowed just one sack over the past two seasons.

917
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 5: So I think that this offense is just going to

918
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 5: grow and get better based on what they did last year.

919
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what the flavor of the offense

920
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: is going to be. I think the flavor of their

921
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: draft is like a potato salad served at a barbecue

922
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: in Orlando. It Yeah, it's it's maybe a little bit

923
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot of mayo in it. But Trevor Lawrence is

924
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: spicy as f and the rock can smell that cooking.

925
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: And I think he is going to continue to go

926
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: up in ability and production. I think he could be

927
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: an MVP this year.

928
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 4: So with Calvin Ridley, Calvin Ridley on Christian Kirk together. Yeah, wow.

929
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans.

930
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: Greg Rosenthal, Okay, I was looking at this team, They're

931
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: not more interesting, Like they're the one team in the

932
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 3: AFC South. That's just making me wonder are they just

933
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 3: boring or are they bad and boring? And my instinct

934
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 3: would be they're probably more just boring. They aren't necessarily

935
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: that bad. You look at their defense, it's actually, you know,

936
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 3: very similar, if not better to the defensive roster they

937
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 3: had when they were the one seed in the AFC.

938
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: They're going to get a lot healthier this year. Like

939
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: it's a good front seven and especially the defensive line

940
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 3: in a good defensive backfield if Tannehill's there, Yeah, they

941
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 3: have no one at wide receiver. But I think they

942
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: can reasonably expect that they're going to coach this team

943
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: up because they found a way to win games, and

944
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: like they might just be boring, but I'm not sure

945
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: that they're necessarily going to be that bad. They just

946
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: fit right in with the rest of the AFC South too,

947
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 3: if they traded Tannehill, which I feel like there's a

948
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: bigger chance. Still, people recognize than all bets are off.

949
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 5: They're wide receivers are trailing burks and you have Nick Westbrook,

950
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 5: A Kine and Kyle Phillips. I mean, this is a

951
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 5: rough wide receiver group. Like I feel like we can't

952
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 5: just brush that aside. I don't know, I don't really

953
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 5: have a ton of confidence in them. And then I mean,

954
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 5: thank god they have Derrick Henry there, but it's not

955
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 5: like they have any great tight ends either on this roster.

956
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you, where it's like they

957
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 2: they we can't brush off the wide receiver situation. They

958
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 2: seemed to be willing to do that. There was no

959
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: ability to go trade for anyone, draft anyone, and it

960
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: leaves like Will Levis if he ends up starting. If

961
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: they do move Tannehill at some point, like in a

962
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: rough spot for a rookie quarterback, I think, I mean, yeah,

963
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: you'll have Derek Henry, but I'm not totally sold that

964
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: Derek Henry's on this roster. If they're not way to

965
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: sell him at a point where you can sell high, I.

966
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: Think I'm just curious how they're gonna play this. They

967
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: obviously didn't value Levis enough to take him in the

968
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: first round, but they valued him enough to trade up

969
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: and get him in the second round. And if this

970
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: team is what pretty much everybody thinks they'll be, let's say,

971
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: even being somewhat kind, let's say they're four and four

972
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: in October, they're five and seven heading into November, Like,

973
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: at what point do you pull the ripcord if you

974
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: have Ryan Tannehill as starter and go look at Will Levis,

975
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: Because if you're going to keep Tannehill around and you're

976
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: gonna keep Dereck Henry around, that tells me you think

977
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: you could still compete and be a playoff team. So

978
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: that all makes sense to start the season with him,

979
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: But at what point do you have to pivot and

980
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: start spinning forward.

981
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: They're hoping. I think the coaching staff changes things. You know,

982
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: he brought in Tim Kelly, who was with him in Houston.

983
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 3: Maybe the most important guy in the roster or on

984
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 3: the staff is Jason Hutling. That's their new offensive line coach.

985
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 3: Their offensive line has been so bad, and they added

986
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: a couple pieces like Scronsky. But if you can get

987
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 3: good offensive line coaching, you can get a lot better.

988
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: They did six picks all on offense, so it's not

989
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: like they ignored their offense. It was an all offense

990
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: draft line.

991
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 5: When does will Lovis come in? Do we believe in Willlvis?

992
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 5: What is his role going to be?

993
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 4: That's my biggest question.

994
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 3: Dan took the time out.

995
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: See I had to save Colleen from a dart to

996
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: the jugular.

997
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 4: I know, thank you.

998
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: I feel like you guys want That's what I was

999
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 2: to land in your body. That's what I keep that

1000
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: from you.

1001
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 4: I would love a dart right here.

1002
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: That is also I had, I had, I had laid

1003
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: that out as well previously. Colleen, like, what is the

1004
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: plan with tan Hill? And when does the quarterback enter

1005
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: the equation? They're in? They're in an in between period.

1006
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: By the way, justin how weird is it to be

1007
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: Malik Willis now you are a third round pick of

1008
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: a prior regime and it just seems like he is

1009
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 1: basically floating throughout her space without a helmet on. Yeah.

1010
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 6: I don't think Milik Willis as long for the Titans,

1011
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 6: probably end of training camp type of cut, unless they

1012
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 6: decided to trace.

1013
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 3: Cut him.

1014
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: Definitely. People people sleep on how bizarre the end of

1015
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: the season was last year that they had this kid

1016
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: Willis that they brought in for Tannehill and then they

1017
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: were so out on him that they took Josh Dobbs

1018
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: off the street and what was essentially a playoff game

1019
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: like and then and then they draft a quarterback, but

1020
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: they didn't take them.

1021
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 3: They were out on Tannehill. They took him eighty sixth

1022
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: in the draft after like drafting four others.

1023
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: I don't you know, I don't think it's that weird.

1024
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that weird because John Robinson ejector

1025
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 2: seat out of there probably was his guy much more

1026
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: than Rabel's. Vrabel's comments on Malik Willis at the end

1027
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: of that year, when they opted for Josh Dobbs, who

1028
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: had like four days of practice with him told me

1029
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: all I needed to hear. Now they went and drafted

1030
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: someone else. Like the head coach who has buy in

1031
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 2: from the GM on this front has zero belief in

1032
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 2: Malik Willis, and Malik Willison his own play didn't give

1033
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: the fan much belief. And so I'm kind of with

1034
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 2: grave Digger, like there's a sneaky world where he doesn't

1035
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: make this roster.

1036
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 5: Wasn't Dobbs good in that game? By the way, Dobbs

1037
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 5: was like a Thursday night game. He came in that

1038
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 5: like was he.

1039
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 6: Did throw like a backbreaking interception, but like he was

1040
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 6: just trying to make a play. Malik Willis was one

1041
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 6: of the worst starting quarterbacks in the league last year.

1042
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 6: He completed like eight passes or something.

1043
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: It was horrible. Well my point, My point is he's

1044
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: a third round pick and then as a rookie and

1045
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,479
Speaker 1: he has two bad games and everybody's like, all right,

1046
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: he sucks. I think, well, a lot of quarterbacks suck

1047
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,959
Speaker 1: when they they're first learning the league. At this level,

1048
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not saying he was a third

1049
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: round pick. I understand, and it's a different GM now.

1050
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: I understand that, But the fact, if I'm Malik Willis,

1051
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like man, I thought I didn't really get

1052
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: a shot here and I'm already now done. Yeah yeah,

1053
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: I think from Malik's perspective, not enough people do.

1054
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 6: They were trying to make the playoffs at the end

1055
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 6: of the year and they just didn't believe that he

1056
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 6: was ready to get it done. Maybe they think he

1057
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 6: needed off season of development. Maybe he'll be the quarterback

1058
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 6: two and Will Levis will be the QB one, and

1059
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 6: you ship Bryan Tannehill off or save him and trade

1060
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 6: him at the trade deadline. That's what I would do.

1061
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 3: Josh Dobbs, by the way, is now Deshaun Watson's backup hopefully.

1062
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: You know, if I'm Watson, you don't want to miss

1063
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 3: any games or your backup might look better than you.

1064
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: For the second streets, it's the beach each television time

1065
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: out here it is now.

1066
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: We have one time out remaining, okay, and I'm not

1067
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: saying I have to call it, so just use it

1068
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: wisely though. Here we go the Houston Texans the old shuster.

1069
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: Do you, Connie, you think the Titans have issues a

1070
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver? The Texans pull the trigger on CJ. Shroud

1071
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: at too, then trade a first round pick to move

1072
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: back up to take a defensive end, Will Anderson at three,

1073
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: and then the draft ends and you look at their

1074
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: depth chart and it's like what their number one wide

1075
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: receivers Robert Woods. Robert Woods looks shot last year in Tennessee.

1076
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: He had five hundred yards receiving. He is their number

1077
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. They traded Brandon Cooks. The Dallas Cooks

1078
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: didn't want anything to do with that being there, So

1079
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do there? But they have here's

1080
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: some names. This is what I'm gonna call a segment.

1081
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 1: The segment's called some names. Nathaniel Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Nicocollins,

1082
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, who they picked up at free agency. Like

1083
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud is gonna struggle throwing in tight windows

1084
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be nobody who opened many weeks this year.

1085
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: I do like Nico Collins. You're right, they're in the

1086
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 2: short supply there. But Tank Dell, I think is someone

1087
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 2: who has already said he's like got a chip on

1088
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 2: his shoulder and looked at every wide out that was

1089
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 2: taken over him, like there's someone to like there. I know, Daniel,

1090
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 2: you'll never buy into that concept. But it's just like

1091
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: it's in need. They had need. They also, like a

1092
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 2: year ago, had needs everywhere, and I honestly think the

1093
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 2: one thing they did is they went and got a

1094
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: coach who's gonna I think Tomico Ryans is like coach

1095
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 2: of the Year material because I think they could sneaky

1096
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 2: win eight or nine games somehow and like it would

1097
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 2: be a feel good story after three years of total

1098
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: shipwreck and disaster.

1099
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 5: I mean short term, this, I guess is good with CJ.

1100
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 5: Stroud because this team went through two seasons with Davis Mills.

1101
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 5: They've had four head coaches in the last three years.

1102
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 5: Like they needed stability at the head coaching spot and

1103
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 5: at the quarterback position, and they will hopefully get it

1104
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 5: with c J.

1105
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 4: Stroud.

1106
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm totally concerned that they don't have any wide

1107
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 5: receivers for him to throw to the offense. Last year

1108
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 5: was Damian Pierce and just like a bunch.

1109
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 4: Of dead weight on his shoulders.

1110
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 5: So they need to upgrade the passing game and they

1111
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 5: only really got that one main piece for it.

1112
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 4: So how do you do it?

1113
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 5: I don't know, Demiico Ryans and I guess the OC

1114
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 5: there needs to figure it out.

1115
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: Demico Ryans too. I'm just saying, like, have you set

1116
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: up your young quarterback for success? It's not?

1117
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 3: Well, No, I think it's like raising the question what

1118
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 3: do you build? How do you build around a quarterback?

1119
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 3: Bobby Slowick brings it that Shanahan system. They have a

1120
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 3: pretty good offensive line, they have a pretty good running game.

1121
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 3: They're hoping to have a good defense, like that's another

1122
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 3: way to do it. They're looking at it like I

1123
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: think the Patriots are a little like this, and the

1124
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 3: Titans are right now too. They're zigging while the rest

1125
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: of the league is zagging. At wide receiver. I at

1126
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 3: least like the Texans options a lot more than the Titans.

1127
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean, Tankdell's kind of fun. Nego Collins could be fun.

1128
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 3: John Metchi was a second round pick. He had that

1129
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 3: cancer battle, but it sounds like he's going to play

1130
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: this year. Noah Brown was okay, like Robert Woods, You're right,

1131
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 3: is their wide receiver one? He might also be like

1132
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 3: their wide receiver four. I mean they have some names, they.

1133
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 2: Have some names.

1134
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: Somebody needs to emerge. I guess that's the point, because

1135
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: Woods should not be seen as the guy because he's

1136
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: just a guy.

1137
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 2: Well, we can't kill the Titans. I mean I can't

1138
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: kill the Titans. Then make a bunch of excuses for

1139
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: the Texans.

1140
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 4: That's fair.

1141
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 2: I refuse to do I'm just you know, I won't

1142
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 2: do it. No more excuses for the Texans. I just

1143
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: wanted that to happen.

1144
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: The Cults, Connie, the Colts.

1145
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 5: The top of this draft was so bonkers, with the

1146
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 5: Texans taking a quarterback at two, which everyone was thinking

1147
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 5: that they might take a defender, and then trading up

1148
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 5: then to take their defender and Will Anderson, and then

1149
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 5: having the Colts, who were picking four, take Anthony Richardson.

1150
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 5: That was one of the main questions about the draft

1151
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 5: was where Richardson would fall. And so now he goes

1152
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 5: to Indianapolis, which I was kind of surprised about because

1153
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 5: in so many of the mocks you would have guys

1154
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 5: talking about whether it would be Will Levis or Anthony Richardson,

1155
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 5: because Will Levis is supposed to be more pro.

1156
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 4: Ready, more of a day one guy.

1157
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 5: And now you have Anthony Richardson, where his ceiling is outrageous,

1158
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 5: like he has incredible traits, and you have Shane Stike

1159
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,280
Speaker 5: and there the offensive coordinator who worked with Jalen Hurtz,

1160
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 5: and we saw the development that Jalen Hurts went through,

1161
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 5: So that gives me some optimism about this pairing in

1162
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 5: the future. But were you surprised that they didn't go

1163
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 5: Will Levis here? And is Jim Ursay actually crowdsourcing picks?

1164
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 5: Because I could not believe that Ersay tweeted out Colts fans,

1165
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 5: would you take Will Levis at two if you're on

1166
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 5: the board for the Bolts in four hours from now,

1167
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 5: go Montana and Young for franchise?

1168
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 4: What what is he doing? Somebody needs to take Twitter

1169
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 4: away from him.

1170
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's like, yeah, I kind of enjoy him.

1171
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 2: I think he's like a pure wild card from me

1172
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: the NFL owner perspective, Ballard did say, and there was

1173
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 2: he he basically someone else came out of the record

1174
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: on the inside the building and said Ballard told me

1175
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 2: weeks ago that Anthony Richardson was the guy, and the

1176
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: reasoning was that all the quarterbacks for flawed viewed as flawed,

1177
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 2: But then why not then swing for the guy that

1178
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 2: could be like a massive home run versus Will Levis,

1179
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 2: who will see what he is. But I certainly think

1180
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 2: he'd be the safer pick. But I mean, the Colts

1181
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: love these big, powerful players at every position. I think

1182
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson I can see why Ballard fell in love.

1183
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 2: He just got to get it right because he's He's

1184
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 2: swung and missed on like eight quarterbacks one minute.

1185
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: Right.

1186
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 3: They love to run the ball. They have an offensive

1187
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 3: line where they've invested so much money poorly by the way,

1188
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 3: But Quentin Nelson's still there, Braden Smith is still there.

1189
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 3: They're still good. Ryan Kelly's making a lot of money

1190
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 3: at center. I want them to sign some more veterans.

1191
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 3: But they love to run the ball, and I know

1192
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 3: Steichen loves to run the ball, and I think they

1193
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 3: have the players to do it. And so you look

1194
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 3: at Richardson versus Levice that way, and that's a nice

1195
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 3: baseline to start with everything.

1196
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the what's the general vibe about the Colts

1197
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: offensive line? Is that was that a blip last year

1198
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: where everything went wrong Murphy's law? Or is that a

1199
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: group that's now should be seen as questionable.

1200
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 3: I think they're questionable.

1201
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is. It will be a new

1202
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 2: coaching staff that maybe an improved one. But I typically,

1203
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 2: like when an offensive line completely breaks down over like

1204
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 2: fourteen fifteen, sixteen games, I don't predict them to come

1205
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 2: roaring back seven, six, five.

1206
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 4: I thought two three when it was Michael pivan or

1207
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 4: last week.

1208
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 5: Passing game and the passing concepts that were being installed, and.

1209
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: Dam it was like when when there was like the

1210
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: countdown was at four and Collie is like, you know,

1211
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: I was also thinking. I was like, she's doomed.

1212
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 4: Where is the countdown? Where do you guys see the countdown?

1213
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 3: Oh you're hearing it in your ears? That explains to

1214
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: explains a lot.

1215
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 4: Man, I am really I'm playing hurt guys.

1216
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: You're grinder. There's one more division to go, Connie, Yeah,

1217
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: here we go. And you know, also not for nothing

1218
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: that the Sixers beat the Celtics in Game one.

1219
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 5: Without Oh my god, you see James Harden's alpha It

1220
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 5: was so if you want.

1221
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: To use a time out just to dunk on Greg

1222
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: and his favorite team, I would not have an issue

1223
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: with it. Just out there.

1224
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 4: I can't dunk on anyone right now.

1225
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 3: Connie, when when I when we hear the ten seconds

1226
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 3: and if you're watching and you can check out us

1227
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 3: out on YouTube. You know, for this great action, I'll

1228
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 3: give you a signal. I'll give you. This is the signal.

1229
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 3: I hold my hands up. When we get the ten seconds,

1230
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 3: that's it. Hurt me. I don't like getting hurt.

1231
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and when you're at back Weird Show.

1232
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. We have one more division. We

1233
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: have to get Colleen to an urgent care, so we're

1234
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna wrap this thing up. Connie, we were stunned to learn,

1235
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: despite us all having the same audio feed, that you

1236
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: have not been hearing a countdown clock at all. Do

1237
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: you want to justin play her the countdown so she

1238
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: just can hear it. Maybe it's just something she's been

1239
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: filtering out.

1240
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 4: I think that's the case.

1241
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 6: Oh I could, but we'd have to wait three minutes

1242
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 6: for it to get to the end of the clock.

1243
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 4: It's okay, I can do it, guys. I'm ready. All right,

1244
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 4: this is the division, and.

1245
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: Greg is going to give you a verbal warning or

1246
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: some type of visual. I also will give you your

1247
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: heads up.

1248
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 4: You know, right here.

1249
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 3: He's holding a sign that says, Connie, stop talking.

1250
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 4: This is this is why I love you, guys. This

1251
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 4: is why this works.

1252
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, we're here, we go, we move into

1253
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: the AFC West and yes it is Colleen Wilf kicking

1254
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: it up.

1255
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, So Kansas City Chiefs quick story. In Kansas City,

1256
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 5: I'm talking to Heidi Gardner, who is on SNL.

1257
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 4: She's a huge Chiefs fan, and.

1258
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 5: They have me interviewing her in front of everyone at

1259
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 5: the draft lover too, and I figure she's got a

1260
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 5: great personality, so I'm going to like throw this out

1261
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 5: to her. And so I was like, why did Kansas

1262
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 5: City have to win the Super Bowl?

1263
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 4: And why did they have to beat the Eagles? And

1264
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 4: it just like did not go as I had planned

1265
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 4: in my mind in my head.

1266
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 5: So I've been really working my way back since that moment.

1267
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 5: But I did really enjoy what Kansas City did here.

1268
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 5: Felix Enadique Uzama, this was so it was such a

1269
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 5: fun pick next to the Cowboys and the coach drafting

1270
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 5: his son. This was one of the heartwarming moments of

1271
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 5: Round one because Felix is from Kansas City. He grew

1272
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 5: up a Chiefs fan, like he went to their training camps,

1273
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 5: and now he gets to join this team that is

1274
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 5: celebrating a Super Bowl was still celebrating at the draft,

1275
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 5: and it's an obvious need for them too.

1276
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 4: With Frank Clark being cut. He's had nineteen and.

1277
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 5: A half sacks over the past two seasons. I think

1278
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 5: that really helps their pass rush and will that equate

1279
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 5: to another Super Bowl?

1280
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Yang?

1281
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 3: I mix, I feel like you left us on the

1282
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 3: ledge there. What did what happened with Gardner?

1283
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 2: She has a little dig into the awkwardness.

1284
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 4: It was so awkward. It was very awkward.

1285
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 5: It was not as funny as I wanted it to be.

1286
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 5: And I don't know if it was funny at all,

1287
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 5: and I like really wanted a trapdoor to just like

1288
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 5: kind of into but.

1289
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 2: She was despite being on SNL. Does she lack a

1290
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 2: sense of humor in person or No?

1291
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 5: No, she she is great and she is sweet and

1292
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 5: she is funny. But I just don't think I set

1293
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 5: set it up properly because.

1294
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 4: Maybe it was the head cold at.

1295
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 3: The time that you're an Eagles fan too, so that

1296
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 3: that could be.

1297
01:00:58,400 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Something I did say.

1298
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said that I'm an Eagles fan.

1299
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also maybe you were looking for that little

1300
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: sass back and forth with the crowd in the Kansas

1301
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: City folk. They're nice Midwesterners. It's not like a.

1302
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 4: Philly crowd so nice. Every time I tried to ras them,

1303
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 4: it just like never landed.

1304
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: I think Heidi Gardner is a great talent on SNL.

1305
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: My wife has met her too and said she's delightful. Yeah,

1306
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: and I think she's the best actor on SNL. She

1307
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: really watched this, watch her and any of those sketches.

1308
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: She's like blowing everyone away in terms of.

1309
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 4: And in shrinking. If you guys have started that, that's

1310
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 4: a great series.

1311
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs, the chief Sounds is gonna be mad,

1312
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Greg say something about the Chiefs.

1313
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 3: Racy Rice is a fun uh second round pick, just

1314
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 3: because he's a receiver that's going to be catching balls

1315
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 3: from Patrick Mahomes. We heard a lot about Zay Flowers

1316
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 3: maybe going there, that they tried to trade up but

1317
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 3: it was too expensive. He has going to have a

1318
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 3: chance Rice to step in right away because I think

1319
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 3: sky Moore was a little bit of a loss.

1320
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 2: I think you need to douse the roster with the

1321
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 2: waterfall of like barbituates to not make the super Bowl again.

1322
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: I think I'd see them winning two or three over

1323
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 2: the next five years.

1324
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 4: That so should I open up a new topic.

1325
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: Oh wait, I totally didn't give you your signal.

1326
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 2: No one signaled culling.

1327
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 4: No I know, I heard.

1328
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 1: One hundred and three catches and twelve hundred and thirty

1329
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: yards and seven touchdowns went out the door with Mikole

1330
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Hardman and Juju Smith Schuster. So Roshie, Rice Sky Moore,

1331
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Canarius Tony they gotta, they gotta do it mvs. Wow,

1332
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: you just think they're just gonna roll like a dynasty

1333
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: is gonna keep rolling.

1334
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 2: Mark, It's the only team that I'd point to right

1335
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 2: now where I just believe that they can have an

1336
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 2: imperfect season. Then you get the most heroic quarterback run

1337
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 2: by Mahomes that I can remember, and they a year ago,

1338
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 2: we're like, oh, can they handle the transition? So yes

1339
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 2: they can, and yes they can thrive, and yes they

1340
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl. They'll do it again.

1341
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 4: But also, does anything change the enemy being gone?

1342
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Who whoa whoa whoa Hey, Steph kirk Hey, Steph kurr.

1343
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: We don't have a time out, we're out.

1344
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 3: What happens now.

1345
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: The universe swallows itself.

1346
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 3: We just that's what happens. We don't respect the trink anymore.

1347
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 3: It's disappointing. They're bringing back Dereck McKinnon, by the way,

1348
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 3: that are they.

1349
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: And they declined the fifty year option on Clyde Edwards Hlaire.

1350
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: So whatever, all right, let's move on to the Denver Broncos. Hey,

1351
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: So listen, in some ways they've they've done well here

1352
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: in terms of trying to salvage this Russell Wilson thing.

1353
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Sean Payton entered the building. They spent a bunch of

1354
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: money on the offensive line after he got sacked I

1355
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: think fifty five times last year. It wasn't all the

1356
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: offensive lines fault, by the way, but it's worth noting.

1357
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, though, what's going on with their running

1358
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: back situation. This is the worst running back situation in

1359
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: the league right now. And I don't know if anyone's close.

1360
01:03:55,120 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: They have Sama jp Ryan, okay, but he's never had

1361
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: more than ninety five carries in his life. He's fine,

1362
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: just a guy. Javonte Williams. They're hoping that he plays

1363
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: this year at some point, but he had one of

1364
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: those knee injuries, like the tour multiple ligaments type knee

1365
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: injuries that you just don't know if he's ever going

1366
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: to be able to really come back, or if the

1367
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: next year is a total washout. I just wonder like

1368
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to run the ball a lot to

1369
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: help protect themselves from Russell Wilson, and I don't know

1370
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: if they can the way the roster is set up

1371
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: right now, unless p Ryan is way better than we're anticipating,

1372
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: or at least.

1373
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 3: I am he's solid. He's a solid back in Javontay

1374
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 3: Williams is exciting.

1375
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. They don't even know when

1376
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams is coming back.

1377
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair. This is a team full of like

1378
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,919
Speaker 3: kind of backup choices. Sean Payton was quietly their fourth

1379
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 3: choice at quarter at head coach. They wanted Damiico Ryans,

1380
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 3: they wanted Jim Harbaugh, they wanted Dan Quinn. It's weird.

1381
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 3: It's a weird thing sitting over them. And then I

1382
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 3: look at their roster and like, other than Russell Wilson,

1383
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 3: I think they've set themselves up pretty nicely. They're oh

1384
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 3: deep at wide receiver. I do think Courtland Sutton and

1385
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 3: or or Jerry Judy could still get moved, but they

1386
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 3: picked up the fifth year option on Judy.

1387
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 2: I think, to your question, Dan, like maybe they feel

1388
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 2: better about DeVante behind the scenes to not make a move,

1389
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 2: Like maybe they have a better track on where his

1390
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 2: recovery is. I mean, if he's healthy. I kind of

1391
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 2: like their backfield because I think p Ryan is a

1392
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 2: classic Sean Payton like pass catching guy that he's always

1393
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 2: had in his career that you can use in a

1394
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 2: certain way. I don't like him as the lead loan back,

1395
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: but little I wonder if someone like mark ingram is

1396
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 2: a free agent who has a long history with Sean Payton,

1397
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 2: could wind up there for part of the season if

1398
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 2: you need to get DeVante healthy.

1399
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 5: God, I really hope that Javante is healthy, because when

1400
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 5: he's healthy, he's so good.

1401
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,439
Speaker 4: His contact balance it's one minute, guys, one minutes left,

1402
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 4: I got it.

1403
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 5: His contact balance is insane, Like he is such an

1404
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 5: exciting player to watch.

1405
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 4: He just bounces off of people.

1406
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 5: And then they also have Tim Patrick coming back, who

1407
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 5: didn't even get a chance to have his big breakout season,

1408
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 5: which I thought he was going to have last year,

1409
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 5: so they have him, which almost feels like an extra

1410
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 5: pick coming into this pass catching room.

1411
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1412
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 5: I think that all of the additions that they are

1413
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 5: spending the big money on the offensive line. That also

1414
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 5: helps out too, protecting Russell Wilson. Like you mentioned off

1415
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 5: the top there, Dan So, I don't feel as pessimistic

1416
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 5: about the Broncos.

1417
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 3: Second round pick on Marvin Min's too. They're loaded, They're

1418
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:28,479
Speaker 3: they're very deep.

1419
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: They were loaded a year ago.

1420
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: How long is the leash on Wilson?

1421
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Eight games?

1422
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Up? Next is the Las Vegas Raiders with Greg Rosenthal.

1423
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 3: Okay, here's here's a hot take. Jimmy Garoppolo's weapons are

1424
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 3: as good in Las Vegas as they were in San Francisco.

1425
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 3: Let's go through that.

1426
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: What what what?

1427
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 5: What?

1428
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 3: All right? Number one receiver, you got Debo versus DeVante Adams.

1429
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 3: Big win for Devontae Adams. Number two receiver you got

1430
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 3: Jacoby Myers versus Ayuk. I'm giving that to Ayuk. Slot

1431
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 3: receiver whoever the forty nine Ers throw out versus Hunter Renfro.

1432
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 3: Given that to Renfro. Tight end you got George Kittle

1433
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 3: and a good backup versus Michael Mayer. I love that.

1434
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 3: Michael Mayer picking Austin Hooper. I'm giving that to San Francisco.

1435
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 3: But with mayor there At least, it's not like as

1436
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 3: big a blow as it would have been. We're split now,

1437
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 3: we're going to running back whoever. They're thrown out in

1438
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 3: San Francisco. It's Josh Jacobs versus against the forty nine ers.

1439
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm giving it to Jacobs. That's a nice group. Now,

1440
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Shanahan is definitely greater than McDaniels. The offensive lines both

1441
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 3: have questions, but it just in terms of weapons around

1442
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Jimmy g He's got some nice, nice weapons.

1443
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you mentioned the coaching situation because my

1444
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: biggest issue is, like, wait and see on a Josh

1445
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 2: McDaniels thriving as a play caller outside of New England

1446
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 2: historically that's not happened at all, but be getting through

1447
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 2: a season without controversy surrounding one of his own players.

1448
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 2: He doesn't seem to get along with his own players

1449
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 2: that well. And also, come on, I like this from

1450
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Graver in the chat here, Christian McCaffrey not better than

1451
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs.

1452
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 3: Okay, that was probably true. They'll give it a slight

1453
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 3: are competitive. These are competitive, but that's not as spicy

1454
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 3: a take.

1455
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: But your your point is also well made solidly made

1456
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Greg that he is not inheriting a much lesser situation.

1457
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: We'll say, I mean, you kind of got a need

1458
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Mayer to hit the ground running a little bit. I

1459
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: think in he certainly could. And Jacobs listen, he didn't

1460
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: get his option picked up before last year. Is he

1461
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna be able to have another season like last year

1462
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: that felt like a career best season? And then the

1463
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: health of Garoppolo hangs over everything, and they they still

1464
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of depth behind him. So I

1465
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: think they're one of those teams where everything breaks well

1466
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,600
Speaker 1: there and they could be a wild card team. But

1467
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: I don't I love the Raiders right now.

1468
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,440
Speaker 3: I don't now they're the Raiders.

1469
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 5: Are just hard to love though, Like I feel like

1470
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,719
Speaker 5: it's hard to trust the Raiders every year. I even

1471
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 5: when their roster looks good, I don't end up loving

1472
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 5: them because of the way that they end up playing.

1473
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 5: And a lot of that was Derek Carr. But I

1474
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 5: was even surprised during the draft that they didn't take

1475
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 5: Christian Gonzales who was still there, and you know, they

1476
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 5: went with Tyree Wilson, who was still really good.

1477
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 3: I mean, they're looking like they're trying to get into

1478
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,520
Speaker 3: scorefest like that. They'll be all offense, and I apologize

1479
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 3: to Christian McCaffrey. I would definitely take them over Josh Jacobson.

1480
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 3: That was great, and the offensive line. I'm surprised they

1481
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 3: didn't do anything there all off season.

1482
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Good news, Connie. We have one more, right, the Los

1483
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers with Mark Sessler.

1484
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 2: Well, the Chargers, I think they absolutely needed to add

1485
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 2: a weapon on offense, and they did it with Quinton Johnson.

1486
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 2: It's one of these guys I just cannot wait to

1487
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 2: see how he fits there. And you know the athletic

1488
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 2: essentially mentioned Daniel Popper does a great job with them.

1489
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: Said essentially, at this point, they really just need like

1490
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 2: a blocking tight end, a cornerback, a safety, which they

1491
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 2: you know, they did a nice job last offseason after

1492
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 2: the drafts showing up some weaknesses. So if they do

1493
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 2: all that again, I think we're back in this world

1494
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 2: where you look at the Chargers on paper and they're

1495
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 2: one of the better rosters league wide. I can't think

1496
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 2: of another like entity in the NFL like this team

1497
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 2: because you've got essentially premium talent all over the place.

1498
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 2: Check top flight quarterback, check new offensive coordinator after we

1499
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 2: were all complaining about the old one. They've done that,

1500
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 2: and despite all of it, I'm not does anyone here

1501
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 2: trust them to win fights with the Chiefs, the Bills,

1502
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 2: the Bengals, or even the Jaguars. Like I don't know

1503
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 2: if this is like a sneaky Super Bowl team or

1504
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 2: just another expedition into nothingness, which it feels like the

1505
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 2: Chargers due to us every year.

1506
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is al Michaels's fault and

1507
01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee's, but like, has any game been memory hold

1508
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: more than the Chargers losing a twenty seven nothing lead

1509
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: in a playoff game like that happened, I still can't

1510
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: pull it. And if there's maybe inside that building that's

1511
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of a mental warfare and shrapnel

1512
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: to deal with connected to that loss. But I think

1513
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: that's why everyone is Basically this is the first offseason

1514
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 1: in a couple of years where you don't feel a

1515
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: lot of like excitement from the outside about what the

1516
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Chargers can be. But like Connie, like when you do

1517
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: with the way Mark set that up there, there is

1518
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: plenty of reasons to be juiced about them, But this

1519
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: is a team that blew with twenty seven nothing lead

1520
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs.

1521
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 5: It's hard to forget that because it happened still recently too.

1522
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 5: But this could be a team that's also lying in

1523
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 5: the weeds because it's the Chargers and people doubt them

1524
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 5: so often because of their history. But I found it

1525
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 5: really interesting with their draft that they passed on a

1526
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 5: running back. They didn't take any so at this point,

1527
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 5: I guess that means that Austin Eckler will not be

1528
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 5: traded and they're gonna go forward with him.

1529
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 3: Well, not only that, they answered very directly after the draft,

1530
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 3: did anyone call about Eckler? And they're like, nope, we

1531
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 3: didn't receive this single call. He's gonna be there. Why

1532
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 3: are you laughing, Donnie?

1533
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: It was a little worried about you during that answer.

1534
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,600
Speaker 4: You know, I'm really worried about me right now. Just

1535
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 4: landing any type of plane is difficult to say.

1536
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 2: See teams, though, at least Connie.

1537
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: Can I say the charge and Chargers fans that might

1538
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: be annoyed with surfacing that playoff loss. There's only one

1539
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 1: way to blow a twenty seven nothing lead in a

1540
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 1: playoff game. It's to have a twenty seven nothing lead

1541
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: in a playoff game, so obviously there's a lot there

1542
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: to build on, but you got to get some of

1543
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: that scar tissue out of there and move forward.

1544
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 2: I'd also just say, remember why Mike Williams wasn't in

1545
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 2: that game because they put meaningless starters or starters out

1546
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 2: in a meaningless game the week before.

1547
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Well, they got the head coach out of there fresh start,

1548
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: so oh wait, no, poor brand I was like.

1549
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I'm much worse than I feel right now.

1550
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 3: He's still there, no two winning seasons. I feel like

1551
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 3: no coach who had back to back winning seasons taking

1552
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 3: over has endured more ridiculous ways to lose in criticism

1553
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 3: than Brandon Staley. I mean, mostly it's his fault.

1554
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, baby, but you're right, they think they.

1555
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 7: Need to get to the second round of the playoffs

1556
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 7: for him to have a job. After everything, I mean,

1557
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 7: it's over. There's no tranks now. By the way, the

1558
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 7: Bills signed Poona Ford today, who was one of the

1559
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 7: highest people ranked left on my top one oh one

1560
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 7: free agency. It is now sign a free Agenciason again

1561
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 7: because you don't have to pay the compensatory picks.

1562
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 3: Jerrick McKinnon got signed, so there's some decent players out there.

1563
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 3: As of yesterday, there were sixteen guys still left from

1564
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 3: the top one O one. Now it's fifteen.

1565
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Connie said it all. You fought through it. We're going

1566
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 1: to give you the final word.

1567
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 5: I just want to say that I did not like

1568
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 5: I was not looking for sympathy.

1569
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 4: I just didn't actually think I was going to be

1570
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 4: like this.

1571
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 5: I thought that i'd be a little bit better off

1572
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 5: for this show, and then moments before the show started,

1573
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 5: I realized that this could go sideways. So appreciate you

1574
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 5: guys dealing with me.

1575
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,000
