1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Ye, welcome back to the Drive. 3 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lally here with Matt Williamson and Matt I'm 4 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: looking here at an article that's on nfl dot com 5 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: written by Mark Sessler. Is the biggest remaining offseason priority 6 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: for each a f C team. Okay, uh, so let's 7 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: go through this team by team in the a f C. UH. 8 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: The first team up is the Baltimore Ravens. So their 9 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: biggest priority, according to Mark Sessler, is lean on your 10 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: rookie class. That's your top situation. Well, it is the 11 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: first thing for his first round Why that was shot? 12 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: Bateman was brought on board to start right away inside 13 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: an offense, looking to expand our profile and play with 14 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: a kind of balance that we really want to play with. 15 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: According to Greg Roman. Uh, fourth round receiver Tylan Wallace 16 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: is back to Sessler talking here feels like a raven. 17 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't get that means. I don't know if I 18 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: want to know what that means. While third round guard 19 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: Ben Cleveland has a shot to win a starting job 20 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: way if that happens, and I would guess always going 21 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: to be in the mix. Yeah, on defense, first round 22 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: pass usher uh oh day fay oh Way. Now, I 23 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: guess it is all but locked in for a lead 24 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,919 Speaker 1: role in Baltimore. For Baltimore's other edges, highest bowser Phenom 25 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: McFee and Jalen Ferguson collectively piled up seven sacks to 26 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: play everything. This is a problem for them, all right. 27 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: There's three guys who are there. One of them is 28 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna be starting at least one maybe two of them 29 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: had seven combined sacks last year and they played and 30 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: they played. I mean, I know they had other guys 31 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: that left, but it wasn't like they weren't on the 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: field a fair amount, uh you know, pretty draft. I 33 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: like the o Way landing spot in Baltimore from this perspective, 34 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: fits with what they want to do. If it's what 35 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna do. They developed talent, well they're smart organization, 36 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: but they kind of need somebody. Now, yeah, they who's 37 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: who's Like Even in previous years they always had at 38 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: least one guy who could get there on his own, right, 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that any of these guys can get 40 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: their own and they, I mean they scheme it up 41 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: as well as anyone. They're gonna probably blitz more than ever. 42 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: But that's a dangerous way to live, you know. Interesting. Yeah, 43 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: they are pretty reliant on their rookie class, though they 44 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: are a quote contending team goes you know, Buffalo is 45 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: not Cleveland's not you know, they're not relying on them. 46 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: I agree Buffalo top priority hammer out in the extam 47 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. I thought that might have been the 48 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Lamar one too, that could have been there the draft class. 49 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: This exact same situation, which is kind of why they 50 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: can't really trade for Julio Jones right now because they're 51 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna give Lamar a big chunk of money. Baltimore doesn't 52 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: make sense to me for j They I think they 53 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: have I want to say they have. They have like 54 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: a bit of cap space. They're not right up against it. 55 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: But if you sign Lamar to an extension, which they 56 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: want to do, there goes a lot a large, you know, 57 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: chunk of what you had. Yeah, I mean, I I'm 58 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: not sure if they could make more cap space by 59 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: an Allen or a Jackson deal for now, but I 60 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: mean it makes it harder to keep Julio under next year. 61 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: And you know, those type of things. I do know 62 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: next year. They've got million dollars in cap space. But 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: that doesn't include a Lamar Stace right exactly. And it's 64 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: not a great group of receivers in Baltimore, but they 65 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: have a lot now. I mean, they're not gonna cut 66 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: Watkins or dubern A or boy Kin or Brown or 67 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Bateman or Wallace. Are you gonna keep eight receivers on 68 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: the on the roster that did you never throw to? 69 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: So right now the court is according to h over 70 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: the cap dot com, the Ravens have five point nine 71 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: million dollars in cap space to play with right now. 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: So they're not trading. Yeah they're not. Yeah, I think 73 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: they're done the receiver. Yeah. No, the teams that to 74 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: get back to that real quickly. The Jaguars have this 75 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: is what they're calling effective cap space because this this 76 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: means you haven't signed your rookie class yet. Uh. The 77 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: Jaguars with twenty ninety eight point nine, the Jets with 78 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: fifteen point five, The Bengals was sixteen point eight, Broncos 79 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: was seventeen. They're holding out hope for a certain quarterback. 80 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: The Browns was seventeen point nine, Washington was seventeen point six, 81 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: which is even more reason. Why would they cut Morgan Moses. 82 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: They could have just kept understand that the Colts in 83 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: the same boat as as Baltimore. They're gonna have to Yeah, 84 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: you get a pay your quarterbacks, the Colts, the Chargers, 85 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: the Lions. Thet is the Patriots have twelve million. So 86 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: if they if they made it trade for Julio, they'd 87 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: have to do something else to know if it's restructure 88 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Gilmore or maybe releasing or maybe conclude him in the 89 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: package you get Julio. Amazingly, New England doesn't have many 90 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: stars that you would restructure, you know what I mean, 91 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: who's that guy? It's not cam So right now, the 92 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: Steelers have six point five million dollars in available cap space. 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: The Chargers actually were rumored to be in the Julio thing. 94 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: The Chargers have sixteen point five million, so they can swing. Yeah, um, 95 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: just where's Atlanta? They at the bottom Atlanta had they 96 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: are Actually they have four thousand dollars in regular cap space. 97 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: Effective cap space is six point uh seven million minus 98 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: six point seven molliska, which is the most they can't 99 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: sign the rookie class right now. Yeah, and you're seeing 100 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: these contracts going around and none of them are from 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: the Falcons. Yeah, so Josh Allen, they need to get 102 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: hit a new contract for him, and what's what's that 103 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: going to be? That's the that's the question. Is he 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: is he worth more than them are or less? See, 105 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: that's right, he's a better passer. I would rather invest 106 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: in Allen and Lamar right. I think that's the Baker 107 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: will be third if we're including those guys that are 108 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: coming up. Yeah. But what's funny about how that works 109 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: is you'd probably rather be the agent that signed second, right, 110 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: because somebody's gonna set the market right and then well, 111 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna start with the Allen contract and maybe you 112 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: get the same, maybe get a little less, but it'll 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: be similar, you know, like my homes kind of screw 114 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: screwed things up because everyone knew he was worth the 115 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: most and he signed for us. So you go in 116 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: there saying, well, I'm that's a hard bargating champ, you know, right. 117 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: So spot Track estimates the extension will be worth a 118 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty eight million, with seventy eight million dollars 119 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: guaranteed over fourty years. That's a slightly higher than what 120 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson got I would think that's a reasonable neighborhood. 121 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: With inflation forty two million dollars a year, that's expensive 122 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: neighborhood to be shopping. It is Lamar's one an m V. 123 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: P Allen was second or third of that ballot this year. See. 124 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: The thing that made Mahomes deal so interesting is that 125 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: it was ten years. Yeah, so you didn't have to 126 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: eat all that early. You could spread that out and Lamar, 127 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I'll signed a ten year deal with him. 128 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm not that confident. Yeah, the Bengals top priority ponder 129 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: trading for a premium lineman. They had an opportunity to 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: draft a premium lineman. Instead they went with Jamar Chase 131 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: and if they would be gone with Penny Seul, maybe 132 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: this would be consider trading for Julio Jones. They had 133 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: the opportunity in the second round to draft. They traded 134 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: down alignment. They did. They traded out this button. They 135 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: ended up taking Jackson Carmen at forty six, who will 136 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: be a guard tackled the guard from clepson Um, but 137 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: not a premium lineman. No, I don't know. I mean 138 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings of what I would have done 139 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: Chase vers soul because I do think this year more 140 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: than ever, that familiarity with Chase and Burrow is really important, 141 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: you know. And I read something today and they were 142 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: talking about um premium targets and is more fantasy related, 143 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: and they were talking about how bad a j Green 144 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: hurt this offense last year. I mean, what a liability 145 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: peppered him with targets and he just didn't produce where 146 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: if Chase were in that role or it's kind of 147 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: like the Steelers running back conversation we've had, just if 148 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: he had slightly a big, average guy there, it would 149 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: have been a lot different. I'm not a big proponent 150 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: of doing this in general, but I might have called 151 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and say, do you want to tack or 152 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: the receiver? You know, and even the familiarity thing aside, 153 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, which one is more valuable? And if he's 154 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: as smart as people think he is and can check 155 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: out of the right protections and whatnot, you'd prefer the receiver, 156 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning would rather the receiver. Yeah, you know 157 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: in that situation, Um, they're not gonna be a team 158 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: to mention offensive lineman Morgan Moses doesn't fit there because 159 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: they went and signed Riley Reef. They need they need, Yeah, 160 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: and I don't even know who those guys are. I mean, like, 161 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: that's nice. You can trade for a premium guard, but 162 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: who who? Yeah, what's on the market? What's a premium guard? 163 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's top priority, Stay humble, stay deadly. Now he 164 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: admits Mark Sessler does that he's a Browns fan. He's 165 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: from Cleveland, because here's what he said. Will they live 166 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: up to the hype? Where can we only count on 167 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: the brown on the Browns to spend magic during an 168 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,599 Speaker 1: international pandemic. Reasons to believe Number one, cool as a 169 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: cucumber head coach Kevin Stefanski, number two, crafty general manager 170 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: Andrew Barry, number three, and the offensive line is rugged 171 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: as any front five in pro football. M A defense 172 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: that adds as the number four defensive adds heady safety 173 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: John Johnson, ball hawking coverman Troy Hill, Jadavion Clowne, Anthony Walker, 174 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: and potential potential upside and edge tack McKinley and Blair. Yeah, 175 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: throw rookie corner Greg Newsom in a freakishly versatile second 176 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: round of Jeremiah was a coremora Jeremiah's Cormore and you've 177 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: got a beast on paper, do you. I don't know 178 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: that you have a beast because you still got I'm 179 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: not counting on Davin Clowney, Anthony Walker and Tack McKinley 180 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: do not make you a good defensive front. I'll put 181 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: a trip down right now that the Brown's first round 182 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: pick next year has been a defensive I agree. Garrett's awesome. 183 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: He makes he makes sure what would be otherwise a 184 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: a below average defensive line at least an average. I mean, 185 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: it's it's it's Miles Garrett and the Pips to me. Yeah, 186 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: here's what he says. Okay, there's no logical reason for 187 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: him meltdown. The Browns fan of me, though, is begging 188 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: for the roster to a shoe hyper Braggs guarantees verbal 189 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: slapdowns of a c North foes, boast for reveries, or 190 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: anything resembling fat cat behavior. Put it on ice until 191 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,599 Speaker 1: the whistle blows. We saw this two years ago the 192 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: offseason that they traded for They were supposed to be 193 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: the team, and and you go to Vegas and they 194 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: were the odds favor to win the North. Easier said 195 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: than done, because there is an art to winning in 196 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: this league consistently, and two teams in the division know 197 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: how to do it, you know, and one of them 198 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: happens to be in this home town. But I'm also 199 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: open to the fact, and I've been on this many 200 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: times since the Browns of Inception, including when I was 201 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: on the team or with the team, that maybe this 202 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: head coach is different. Maybe Stefanski does keep them humble 203 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 1: and grounded and all those things. I thought he was 204 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: a deserved Coach of the Year last year, but becoming 205 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: a winner in this league is hard. Here's the thing. 206 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play Devil's act here. Okay. So John 207 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: Johnson and Troy Hill were both good players last year 208 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: with a great pass rush. That was the best defense 209 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: in the league, by the way, and they knew you 210 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: had the number one cornerback in the league playing opposite you, 211 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: and he was going to take away half the field, 212 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: so now everything was kind of broken down. Okay, we 213 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that half of the field. 214 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: So if I'm John Johnson, I go, okay, I could 215 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: focus on this. Yeah, And that defensive coordinator became a 216 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: head coach because he did such a because he did 217 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: such a good job. Right, we just talked about the 218 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: front guys, the Clownie, Walker and McKinley. I'm not sold 219 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: on that being an upgrade at all. Greg Newsome is 220 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: a rookie. Clownies play five games. Rookie cornerbacks struggle in 221 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: this league. All the Akuda had a really rough year 222 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: and still looks great. And Newsome's Newsome was not the 223 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: prospect Kuda, right, same with Henderson and Jacksonville, all of them. 224 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: And what was what's the one thing that you hear 225 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: about freakishly versatile Jeremiah Wilson Corramoa. Well, there've been also 226 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: other freakishly versatile guys that have come into the league. 227 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: What are you yeah? I mean Myles jack really struggled 228 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: right away. Isaiah Simmons is the obvious, you know, I 229 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: don't think he'll be in every down play. So these 230 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: guys look great on These guys look great on paper, 231 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: making it all work on game days a little harder. 232 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: It's a little bit, you know, it's a little different. 233 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Like I'm not I'm not I'm not sold that those 234 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: especially the rookies, are going to make those guys. That's 235 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: this team, a better team, and there'll be encountered on 236 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: they are they are. I mean, I like their moves. 237 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: I respect this team. I like to move his long 238 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: term as well. I mean, you know these are I 239 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: think maybe the defense is better in two than it 240 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: is if Newsom's the guy or but then you gotta 241 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: get you know, word cast, you too much money, and 242 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: this clowney is still gonna be there, probably not probably 243 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: not right. Probably a first round pick defensive line and 244 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: something like that. I think their their defense will be average. 245 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be great, but it was bad 246 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: last year. It was bad. I mean, I think it'd 247 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: be better than last year, but I think it'll be average. 248 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm not so. I'm not solding that being a top 249 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: ten unit, which is way some people are talking about. 250 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: Their defense, is really gonna be a strength this year. 251 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. And I do think you've 252 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: a good point about looking at it on paper, it 253 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: looks better than you know, a WOLASU core more playing 254 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: sixty steps a game. Everybody plays thirty steps a game, 255 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: which he might be a great player a year or 256 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: two from now, but it's gonna take some time. Look, 257 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean, just look at what happened in Arizona last year, 258 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: and he was considered a way better prospects the draft. Yeah, 259 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: couldn't get on the field until Week twelve. Yeah, I 260 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: think he was a healthy scratch early on for the 261 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos top priority shoot the moon for Aaron Rodgers, 262 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what would you give up? He's seven. 263 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't think his contracts that crazy. It's not. Um, 264 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: what do you need if you're Green Bay and if 265 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm Goodencost and you're if need like your next three 266 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: first round draft picks? Because this draft is over, you know, 267 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: if if I trade, if I'm if I'm Green Bay 268 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: and I trade Aaron Rodgers, Now, I don't see any 269 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: return on that until next year unless you start giving 270 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: me players. I would say, what about certain in Courtland Sutton? No, 271 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: we can talk right, right, but that makes Denver worst team? Right, 272 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: they can overcome the certain I mean, Rogers makes them better, 273 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: but you're weakening what you have you want to insert 274 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: him with that offense? Yeah, I mean there's something what 275 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: if what if they say we don't want, we don't want, 276 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: we want Judy instead. That's fine, I mean to me, 277 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: their equal value now you've given up essentially Well, okay, 278 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: so we want to we want those two players, and 279 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: we want your first round pick next year in the 280 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: second round or a third round or something like that, 281 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: because you're trading away to two ki secutive first round picks. 282 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: I think Rogers is worth three three first I mean, 283 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: so that's essentially entertaining Counts is one, Yeah, and next 284 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: year's first. Denver might do it. They might, but man, 285 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that's that's a big price. It's a 286 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: big price, and Teddy, I don't want Teddy. Give me, 287 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: give me a lock, throw throw a lock into the 288 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: deal to give one of the quarterbacks. Yeah, I don't know. 289 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: I think they could make it. I think Denver could 290 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: make a deal for Rogers. Yeah. I think so too, 291 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be expensive. What if it was just 292 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: flat out next three first round picks? M If I'm 293 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: green Bay, I don't know if I do that. I 294 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: think green Baby would be bad without Rod, green Bay 295 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: would be very bad. And I think I think they'd 296 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: be lucky to be an eight and eight team Lucky, 297 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: nine team lucky, and Love maybe a good player. I 298 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: don't think he will be, but I think He's gonna 299 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: really struggle if he's a starter this year and he 300 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: raises all the ships in Bay. Yeah, you know, is 301 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: Davante Adams and gonna be happy he just be on 302 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: my fantasy team. He's gonna go from catching a hundred 303 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: pass passes to the Robert Toni and people forget his name? Right? 304 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: Why do we pay Aaron Jones again? And you know right, 305 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans top priority operate in reality? There you can 306 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: go so many directions with that one. I mean to me, 307 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: it would be try to get the Watson situation. You 308 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: got to figure out something with that. I don't think 309 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: he'll ever take a snap as a Texan again, but 310 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: you at least need to know take does he take 311 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: another snap in the league? I think so a lot 312 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: of guys have done far worse. I mean, I hate 313 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: to say it's that that got back on the field, 314 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: but he's taking several years and it's not always right away. 315 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's This isn't one accusation of very 316 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: sexual assault. We haven't talked about it much. It's all 317 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: this is multiple accusations of sexual assault, like I know, 318 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: and probably won't be done soon. Just just you keeping 319 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: it just a football. For a team to want to 320 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: take that on, is you this is the face of 321 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: your franchise. I mean you're Carolina or Denver. I don't 322 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: think you make that trade. Indianapolis Top Priority look hard 323 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: at Julio Jones Part one. Obviously, more teams like that. 324 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: It would be great for Pittman. I think that would 325 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: be mentioned in an earlier show today. I think that 326 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: would make them clearly the best team in the South. Yeah, 327 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: I think so. Um, I think it would. I think 328 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: it would help make Carson Wentz at least a league 329 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: average quarterback. Yeah, which I don't know that he is 330 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: right now. He wasn't last year. He wasn't last year. No, 331 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean he gets benched. I mean your second round 332 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 1: pick next year for Julio straight up again, if I'm 333 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: the Falcons, I don't know if I I want more. 334 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: I don't think you get it first, but I don't 335 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: know if they can. I mean I think he only 336 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: played six games last year too. Well, that's the question 337 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: his feed and he plays through all that stuff, but 338 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: his durability is an issue. Jacksonville Jaguars Top Priority embraced 339 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: the weirdness that they're taggling to this season. This season 340 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: could read interesting at last. The Jaguars suddenly house a 341 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: must watch young quarterback in Trevor Lawrence, a college coaching 342 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: legend and urban meyer, and a shotgun from the Wilderness team, 343 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow at tight end. I don't know if he's 344 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: gonna make the team. Uh, Their first round running back 345 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: Travis a t n is playing wide receiver in minicamp, 346 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: and the entire soup is beginning to look delicious. I 347 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: don't know about that. The Jaguars weren't as bad as 348 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: last year's record one in fifteen suggested. Well, I think 349 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: they were. They lost fifteen straight, but that's not the point. 350 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: The club offers elements of bizarre with fast ending plot 351 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: outlines our plot lines yet to be revealed. I get 352 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: vibes of Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman starting out their 353 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: journey together in Dallas. I do not I don't trust 354 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: this franchise at all. The Cowboys are the Cowboys. This 355 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: is not that this is not the Cowboys. That the 356 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: Jaguars have never been the Cowboys. Jaguars will never be 357 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: the Cowboys or a franchise that you will trust. They 358 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: probably couldn't be any more difference, just in terms of 359 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: what the organization is the value of the organization, you know, 360 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: I mean they signed Tim Tebow to sell jerseys and 361 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: and draw fan interest. Yeah, and he got no guaranteed money. 362 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: He might make the theme, but I bet he doesn't 363 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: deserve to make the team. Um. They are interesting though 364 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: they haven't been interesting for I mean, he could run 365 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: from mayor of Jacksonville right now. I'm win and win 366 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: right in the landslide. My buddies is texted me the most. 367 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: The things selling most on NFL dot com is Tebow apparel. 368 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: That's why they signed him. Folks. The people trying to 369 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: equate this to Colin Kaepernick still not being in the 370 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: league is ridiculous. Um, if Colin Kaepernick came back and said, yeah, 371 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: I want I'll do this. I want to I want 372 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: to play. Uh, you know, I'm gonna try to come 373 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: back as a wide receiver, somebody might take it. You. Okay, 374 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: we think maybe calling you can do that. But I mean, 375 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: as a rule of thumb, I think all that stuff 376 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Tebow is not getting old. Don't change position. 377 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: Tebow is not getting a chance to come back as 378 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Here. If the Jaguars as signed Tebow is 379 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback, which something that has already failed, that would 380 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: be one thing. They're signing him to try another position. 381 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: A position oh by the way that a lot of 382 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: people thought, well, maybe he should have been that to 383 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: begin with. I think he's a personal protector on punts. 384 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: I really do. Yeah, and maybe that's what he ends 385 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: up doing. Yeah. I wouldn't even want him to take 386 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: him hill it up. No, not with Trevor Lawrence in 387 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: the bill. Any snap that goes to Tim instead of 388 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: Trevor is not good for good. Kansas City's tough priority. 389 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: Don't let the honey badger scurry away. See I was 390 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 1: a free agent after this year. I guess. Yeah, him, 391 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: he's ending the final season of his three year, forty 392 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: two million dollar deal. Uh, he's also getting up in 393 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: age player. Not the biggest guy to invest in the 394 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: way he plays and throws his little body around. Good 395 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: for him, but they've got cap issues moving forward to Yeah, 396 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: see the Bob Sanders career path, you know what I mean. Yeah, 397 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: tough guy to invest in. I think I'd rather just 398 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: franchise him after the year. And Las Vegas Raiders. Don't 399 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: worry about Derek Carr's feelings. M hm. The Raiders are 400 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: stuck in a similar fixes. Is Denver desperately desiring to shine, 401 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: but mired into division with high flying flying Patrick my 402 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: Homes in the Chiefs, trapped there for another decade plus 403 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: or longer than even John Gruden's contract. Shaking things up 404 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: requires a move worthy of the Devil May Care Sea 405 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: fiery seafaring pirate, one that beats Denver. The punch would 406 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: be go to Gopher Broke at Aaron Rodgers. I'm fine 407 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: with that. I mean, if you can land Rogers, great, 408 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: But by no means is call are the problem there? No, Like, no, 409 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: he's not my homes, but he's not the problems. But 410 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if they do a move like that, and 411 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: there are a dozen teams in the league that would 412 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: love to have Derek cars or quarterback, including maybe this 413 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: one a year from now, Like I would be fine 414 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: with car being the replacement for bad. I mean, if 415 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: Derek Carr was in India Indianapolis right now, the Colts 416 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: would be yeah, and people will be talking about them 417 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: as a potential Super Bowl team. Yeah. And like in 418 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: the Denver trades, we talked about with Green Bay. If 419 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: you give me car and two first, now I'm in 420 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay, is still pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, so that 421 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: maybe the car if if Las Vegas does decide to 422 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: go that route, they can they can beat what Denver 423 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: can offer because car has value, because car has more value, 424 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: like they the Broncos can't give Packers anything close to that. 425 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: Bridgewaters are close. Yeah, agreed. I also think Denver with 426 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: Rogers is probably a lot better than the Raiders with Rogers. Yes, 427 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: they defense, yes, but the Raiders might be a playoff 428 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: team with Rogers. Yeah, yes, I mean Henry Ruggs will 429 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: be Yeah, they have to give something up. They probably 430 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: give a player or two defensively, they would still be 431 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: pretty bad. Well, they would score a lot of points. 432 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: They score a lot of points. The Chargers, please don't 433 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: mess up justin Herbert. Well, their offensive line moves sure 434 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: imply that they know what they're doing in that regard. Yeah, 435 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: signed Corey Linsley, drafted for Shawn Slater um at Matt Feiler. Uh. 436 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: They had PF Pro Football Focus is worst ranked offensive 437 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: line last year. Yeah. And by the way, they're running back. 438 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: Eckler had a pretty good year back to our conversation 439 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: two segments. Yeah, Kelly didn't confect almost anybody they put 440 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: in there produced something Caitlin Blage produced didn't play bad 441 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: behind a works line in the Steelers. But side note, 442 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have co offensive nators and that's never a 443 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: good thing. That's never a good thing. George Godsey and 444 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: Eric Studsville live in a shared apartment with TUA. That 445 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: would be a new THREECE company. I guess I think 446 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: how they're handling it. And Atlanta did this with a 447 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator year or two ago. One of them is 448 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: early downs and one has laid that that's stupid. I 449 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: think it's too many coaches. You can there's too many, 450 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: too many cooks in the kitchen because eventually somebody has 451 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: to be the final decision maker. Not to mention, I 452 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: mean if you're a play call or not that I'm 453 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: a play call or ever been down that road. My 454 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,239 Speaker 1: first down play is setting up my call on set night, 455 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: and then I'm getting into you know, I got got 456 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: them leaning one way and then I throw them the 457 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: cover ball, you know what I mean. Like it's just 458 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: like any other sport where you set people up and 459 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: this has to be a lot of communication with a 460 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: clock that's taken quick between those guys to make that work. 461 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: And those guys better be. They better be on the 462 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: same page always, always, especially on game day, because if 463 00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: they're not, the next thing, you know, you get a 464 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: fist fight going on up in your you know right right, 465 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: it's just not a good idea, and your head coach 466 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: the defensive guy. He's not gonna be the Andy Reid 467 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: situation where just you know, given two guys a title. Yeah, 468 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: I think it's dumb. The New England Patriots look hard 469 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: at Julio Jones Part two. I agree, Yeah, I mean 470 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: that's I mean they would scare me with Julio. I 471 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: think the receivers are jonesy. Yeah, they're bad, But how 472 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: many games is Julio gonna pay? Like you're trading You've 473 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: you just got rid of Edelman who couldn't stay on 474 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: the field as your number one receiver. Now you're gonna 475 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: add Julio there. I don't think it's a clowney situation. No, 476 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: the games he plays, he produced, he's really really good 477 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: and he fights through it and he's toughing, but he 478 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: just hasn't He doesn't play as much as he used to. 479 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: I don't think you can count on him for seventeen. 480 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: The New York Jets do not engage in funny business 481 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson. You're gonna have to explain that one. Yes, 482 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: he looks sixteen. Yes, his rosy cheeks and a little 483 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: blonde hair suggests a boy guest starring, and that's so raven. 484 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: He'll be sitting at the adult table. Though. After America 485 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: watches Zack Wilson ripping lasers to would be Guild Patriots defenders, 486 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: the excitement surrounding the number two overall part of the 487 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. So essentially what they're saying is 488 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: they kind of blew it with Sam Donald. Don't don't 489 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: do the same thing with with this kid that you 490 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: did with Sam Donald. I mean, I think that's safe 491 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: for any of these young quarterbacks. Probably the same could 492 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: be true for Justin Fields and whatnot. Um, this guy 493 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: scares me a little because maybe some of it's a 494 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: misconception that he looks like, you know, my fourteen year 495 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: old son, but it's kind of built like him. But 496 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think this front office Joe Douglas has 497 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: done that. They have adequate or better receivers right now. 498 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some potential studs on the line. 499 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: Brings us to the Pittsburgh Steelers right top priority. Pray 500 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: offensive line coach Adrian Clem can pull this off. Okay, everybody, 501 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: everybody nationally is really concerned about the Heeler's offensive line. 502 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: I listen to so many podcasts and read as many 503 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: articles I can, and the to your point, the national 504 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: feel is this is a bottom five line because they 505 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: don't know the names, you know, and I'm guilty of that. 506 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I may not know the Rams left guard 507 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: as well. As we went through we went through the 508 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: in the previous segment that the Vikings offensive line last 509 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: year other than Bradberry and Reef, I hadn't heard him 510 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: any of those guys. Well, Neil you probably remember from 511 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: pick pick, But but then there was a bunch of 512 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: dudes that were not good. And I think the Steelers 513 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: guards will be above average, may be better. Um, I 514 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: think the tackles will be average. I mean, and that's okay. 515 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot hinges on the center position. 516 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: But I'm also a believering more and more sure you'd 517 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: love to have the Brown's offensive line. But if you 518 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: can't have any major weaknesses, right, if it's not terrible, 519 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: which I don't think it's terrible. I mean, sure I'd 520 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: love to throw Orlando Pays on there, but it doesn't 521 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: worry me as much as others. I don't think they'd 522 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: be blowing blocks left and right. The Steelers are eleven 523 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: and two in thirteen in the thirteen games of b J. 524 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: Finney has started right, right right, and they've had some 525 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: of their best running games with b J. Finne at center. No, 526 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that it's gonna be the problem. 527 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: And again I think Anjia Harris that you know, raises 528 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: all boats in the water, and Ben has to be 529 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: smart mentally about getting in the right protections and the 530 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: hot reads and knowing where everything's coming from. And he's 531 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: gonna do that. Yeah, the Tennessee Titans top priority unearthed 532 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: additional weapons. I thought he was gonna say, Julio Part 533 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: three could have been. It's just I think they're in 534 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: the mix. Yeah, I mean, I really think their loss 535 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: of offensive coordinator is worrisome. Um, we often talk about 536 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: Henry is awesome, but is he for can he hold 537 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: up um Tannehill does not raise all ships. What are 538 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: you doing it? Right? Tackle? Right? You know? And I 539 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: think that'll be the North d cootstake it. Yeah, but 540 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: he's a rookie. But he's a rookie and he's not 541 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: he's not overly physical. He's not their style. He's not 542 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: like the Saffolds and guys they have, you know, like 543 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: I kind of like Josh Reynolds. I do think they 544 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: need another receiver. I mean it's Firk Sir and Reynolds. 545 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: That's not Johnny Smith and Corey Davis. That is definitely not. 546 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: I like Reynolds as well, but when he was the 547 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: number three the three years, right, not as the number 548 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: two and as great as Brown is, Like if we 549 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: threw every wide receiver in the league in the pool, 550 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: when I get to pick one, I think I take 551 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: a J Brown for now going forward agent in the mix. 552 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: But he's gonna be triple cover. Yeah, it's gonna be 553 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: a different world for him, right. Yeah, I agree, But 554 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: that's the entire a f C. Mark Sessler interesting to 555 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: get that national perspective on things, and we agree with 556 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: a lot of it. I mean, yeah, and I do 557 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: think there's a chance will Leo ends up in the 558 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: a f C. Probably, I think if you're the Falcons, 559 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: you probably want to trade him too. Somebody that you're 560 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: not going to see on a regular basis. New England 561 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: makes too much sense to me. The Colts with their 562 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: caps phaves. I would be very aggressive if I were them. 563 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that would complete the offense to me. Yeah, 564 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: you know. And if I'm the Packers and I want 565 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: if I want Aaron Rodgers backing on the Packers, that's 566 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: a move that I may Oh man, yeah, I think he. 567 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: I think he's backing on Okay, I can I can 568 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: handle this? Then, Aaron, we need you to, you know, 569 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: probably restructure, but for this, yeah, right, because we love you, 570 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, and you're gonna throw the Adams and Julio 571 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: or even bringing up all the time and maybe it 572 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: isn't feasible, but send Jordan's love to Atlanta for Julio 573 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: and that makes him happy right away? Now, loves all 574 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: here anymore? We got your Julio Jones. Are we buddies again? Right? 575 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: We'll give you a big check now to restructure and 576 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: what more do you want? Let's go win it all. 577 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: You're our guy, You're a guy right, We love you, 578 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: but that's gonna do it for this segment.
