00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast, Making America great again. Welcome

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. I'm

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: your host, colleague Wolf, but Dan is here too. I

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: think he's trying to sabotage me. And we're joined by

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: room filled with some heroes, Chris Westling and Greg Rosenthal.

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: What's up? Dan? What the hell is going on here?

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: I am it is the off season, it is the

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: dark period. So to mix things up, I am behind

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: the glass today. Brandon is over my shoulder, but I

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: am running the show from behind the glass. Oh no,

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: so Dan basically is he seated behind the glass. It

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: literally just went over his shoulder to press something for

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: him as he was pressing it. He's in the shadows

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: right now and so far, these are the things that

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: I've heard from Dan. Oh that's a button. Can they

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: hear me? Oh? It's my world? Great? I love it.

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: So it's Dan in front of a soundboard and it's

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: the off season. I am very excited, you know. I

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: think this is a good way for me to look

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: at the show from a different angle, behind the glass,

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: see who the real contributors, Who's who's really carrying their weight,

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: who needs to work harder pick up the chisels on

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: that side. Great, So Dan is looking over our shoulders.

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: It's an excuse for Dan to play get your Dan

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: hands as as much as possible in the show. So

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: I said to him. I saw him earlier this morning,

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: he was getting makeup and he said, yeah, I don't

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: know about having the pod three times this week. Might

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: have been a mistake. And now all of a sudden,

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: he's not hosting. And he sent me a half hour

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: before we sit down to do this and he says,

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you're hosting, I'm producing. So uh, this is a great

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory, Colleen, Yes, you know, and putting the show together.

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: How do we jazz this one up? You know, the

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: third show of a very quiet week. But it wasn't

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: because I thought the show was gonna drown. So I

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: was jumping off the ship. If anything, I put myself

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: in an even more vital role here because so you're

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: more important than Brandon. I mean, Brandon McGinnis is more

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: important than you. You're saying, you know, that's interesting. Well

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: that's what Irish says to me. Wow, this is this

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: is a lot to handle right now, I think, And

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: can I just say that's why you change producers so often.

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: They're so valuable you don't want any one of them

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: to get too comfortable every seven months or so. That's

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: not nice. But Colleen, this is obviously you're running the

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: show here, but I do want to we should touch on.

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: We should touch on what's going on with the softball team.

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: I did I handed out the starting lineup didnesday afternoon?

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: You are not starting, and I know you're a little

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: upset about that. Yeah, I'm on the bench, but that's fine.

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to change my approach at all. And

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: you know it. I guess I just have to prove myself.

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: I feel like the Trent Richardson even though I never

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: really had a breakout year. So this is going well.

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: This is just Dan's desire to have as many drops.

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, although I found these these drops of

58
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: random baseball stuff, clearly it was it was recorded in Toronto.

59
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: Do you have a pre show grade? No, In fact,

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: you have to give them the producer. The host hands

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: out the pre show grade. So that's on you. Okay,

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty satisfactory right now, so I'm gonna go

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: with a C plus. That's pretty much my standard. Like

64
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I will set the bar really low. Yeah, and then

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: basically be surprised if it's better under you know, under

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: promise over deliver. You know, it's like my pre show

67
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: grade for the softball game tonight. That's a hot butt

68
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: sizzling of the host chairman. You are really just thanks

69
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: for putting me here in a bad position here. My

70
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: pre show grade for the softball game is D plus

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: because I feel like I feel like putting Colleen on

72
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: the bench. Somebody's gonna have to take him away from

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: the soundboard for real. She hasn't been here, she hasn't

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: been on the field for a while. You're you're causing

75
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: some consternation within the team. She's not handling it well.

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: She's already trying to bring alcohol to the game. She's

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna be on the bench. What's wrong with bringing alcohol

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: to the games? Yeah, that's the only way to play. Well.

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: I was going to bring it because I didn't want

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: to have to pay for Postmates, but someone else already

81
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: came up. I mean they came in and really saved

82
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: the day because they're bringing beer. So we're going to

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: sit on the benches right next to the beer and

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: drink it. I'm excited about the softball game, and I

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: give it a pregame grade of a kind of I think.

86
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: All right, Brandon, alright, very important game for the Shield.

87
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: We're three and four, a game out of the playoffs,

88
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: and the only thing with Colleen, we're glad to have

89
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: her back in the lineup. But you know, you can't

90
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: just parachute back into the picture and expected still starting job.

91
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: You've been gone for almost two months. Well for various reasons.

92
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of them work related. So I'm

93
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: not no excuses though. Okay, we'll see what happens tonight.

94
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: How about that. I like it. Okay, let's do Let's

95
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: do some news. How about that. Okay, let's do some news.

96
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: You and your comments. It's fun to save them. It's

97
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: fun to hear them. That's why I save them, and

98
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: that's why I listened. Alright, So first up, this is

99
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: a very good job. Dan ya wa Danny. It's constant

100
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: affirmation as a producer to alright. So guys, first up,

101
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: there's a quarterback in the league that cannot stop staring

102
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: at himself in the mirror. That's Matt Ryan. He's using

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: a mirror to improve his It is it is about

104
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks he's hoping to improve. It's timing and

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: it's ball placement, and um, what do you think about this?

106
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: Will it help? Do you care at all? How did

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: listen it is? Why do you think Dan is not

108
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: hosting this? So Dan sets this up as a shaky

109
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: uh news news operation at first news item? Yes, and

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: then I'm sorry. I was the only one that was

111
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: even slightly interested in planning the show today. And I

112
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: would have planned if I knew I was hosting it.

113
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Number two, number two. This is a way west as

114
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: a jumping off point to talk about Matt Ryan. If

115
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: you really need to, you know, let's pull back the

116
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: curtain a little bit. Go ahead, talk a little Matt Ryan. Sure,

117
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: what do we think? Bad year? Last year? Relatively a

118
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: little disappointing. I was disappointed. I think you'll have a

119
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: bounce back year. I think Matt Ryan's the same quarterback

120
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: he's always been. And I heard Nate Burlson say on

121
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Total Access yesterday that Mohamed Snow is gonna be one

122
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: of the best number two wide receivers in the league.

123
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: I think Nate and I are on an island on

124
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: this one. I think Sanu is going to exceed expectations.

125
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: He got lost in the shuffle in Cincinnati. Not enough

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: targets to go around for everyone, and I think he

127
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: felt a little left out when A. J. Green and

128
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones were injured for a month a month and

129
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: a half long stretch in two thousand and fourteen. I

130
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: thought Sano played lights out a lot of drops, a

131
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: lot of diving catches, a lot of a lot of

132
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: tough catches in traffic. I think when he's targeted consistently,

133
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: he's a good player. I also think second year in

134
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's offense, so that always helps. First year sometimes

135
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: it's a little shaky. We saw what happened with Eli

136
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Manning in Ben mcadoo's offense. It just takes a little

137
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: bit of time and then you sort of see when

138
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: it starts to click. So hopefully that happens with Matt Ryan.

139
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I also think that Shanahan and Ryan should have been

140
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: a much better combination than it was. Like we thought

141
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: that that was gonna be amazing, right, and it was

142
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: not good at all. It was I wouldn't say it

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: was not good at all because the running game worked

144
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: for Shanahan. It should be much better. I mean they

145
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: fell off though so so far the second half of

146
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: the season. It was weird that the defense wasn't really

147
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the problem for Matt Ryan. I mean for the Falcons,

148
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: I think being average on defense was about as good

149
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: as they could expect. It was really the passing game

150
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: declining was the problem down this admitute though, Greg, you

151
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: were all in on Matt Ryan last season. He disappointed you.

152
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: He maybe revealed himself to be no better than eleven

153
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: through fourteen in the quarterback rankings, and maybe that's just

154
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: who he is. Maybe he'll never become the top five guy. Well,

155
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: I think this year when he is going up against

156
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: the Nolin Saints, you know, Dan's not even listening, right,

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: I'd have to. I'm producing. I'm saying, when he is

158
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: going up against you know, Jariss Bird in the New

159
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, stay stay with me Jaris Bird, Yeah, Bird, Yeah.

160
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: I think stop. No. I think he started putting down

161
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: these timing there. I don't want this fixed in editing.

162
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: How are you gonna expect Matt Ryan to keep playing

163
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: at the same level, keep posting the same numbers when

164
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: he loses Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White is a shell

165
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: of himself. Yeah, basically he had Julio Jones and the

166
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: slowest wide receiver corps in the NFL. Yeah, but he

167
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: gets to play Jared's bird twice a year. All right.

168
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Moving on, how about de Marco Murray. He's happy to

169
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: get his groove back. He's gonna be running downhill again.

170
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: He told the Jim Rome Show. He likes the fit

171
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: with the offense. It's strictly downhill and that's what he's

172
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: been accustomed to his entire life. He said nothing against

173
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: last year or what happened. It just didn't work out.

174
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: But he's super excited about the upcoming season. He's really

175
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Do you think that DeMarco Murray

176
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: will bounce back in the Titans offense? I do. I

177
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be two thousand fourteen DeMarco Murray.

178
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: That guy's gone. But as I've said several times, when

179
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: you look at guys with extremely heavy workloads, extorically heavy workloads,

180
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: they often are terrible the next year and then bounce

181
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: back to of what they were the year before that.

182
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: So to me, that's reasonable. He's in a bet. He's

183
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: in an offense. It's more suited to his style now

184
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: too well, but he doesn't get the Cowboys offensive line

185
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: like that. That's the biggest reason why he had that

186
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: breakout season. He's a good he's a good runner. Yeah,

187
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: for half a season behind the best offensive line in

188
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: the league for at least thirteen games that season. Scientist here, Yeah,

189
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: what's happening right now? Not quite at that level. We're

190
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: not going down to the lab. Do you want to

191
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: go down to the lab? We can, yeah, I think

192
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: there was some There could have been some buns and burner, blowtorch,

193
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: but you know, we don't need to. I don't just

194
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: hand this out willy nilly. There's been a lot of

195
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: willy nilly drops here. Uh. The Titans offensive line remains

196
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: to be seen how good they are. You know, they've

197
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: got some pedigree there, but they certainly were in a

198
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: great group last year and they still got you know,

199
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: offensive mastermind Mike Malarkey running this. By the way, West's

200
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: theory holds water to me that after you know, at

201
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: at times a dynamic four teen season. Fifteen was that

202
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: down season, tied to the workload, and maybe he bounces back.

203
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: But there's the other side of it where it's just

204
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: gone that he had He had usefulness for a period

205
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: of his career and he got he got worked to death,

206
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: and now his career is in a can't it can't

207
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: be coming back coming back from that. It could be over.

208
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: If that's the case, he'll quickly find himself on the

209
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: bench in favor of Derrick Henry. Yeah. The thing that

210
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: I really didn't like about last year was when he

211
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: talked with Jeffrey Lorri about the fact that he needed

212
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: more touches and he needed to be in there more.

213
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: And I don't like a player that sort of complains

214
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: about that classic locker room lawyer behavior. Got to get

215
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: rid of the locker room lawyers. We've seen that for years.

216
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: You just get a locker room lawyer. Drop Dan, can

217
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: you work on that? Yeah? Yeah, after the show, guys. Great,

218
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: By the way, everyone's going to get a shot at

219
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: this at some point. It's not as easy as it looks.

220
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: A shout out to the Irishman and and you know

221
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: all the people before him, because not only have to

222
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: listen to what's going on, gotta mind the board. Yeah,

223
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: and you just gotta be plugged in on the levels,

224
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: which I'm not even doing well. Dan what's the hardest

225
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: part about this transition. I just explained all the different things.

226
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: The hardest one. I think the hardest one would be

227
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: would be getting emails five minutes before the show from

228
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Dan Hansas of all the drops in preparation that you need.

229
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: Brandon is agreeing with. But you know what, that's what

230
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: makes the show great. Alright. What else is going on?

231
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: All right? So Patrick Peterson, he's pumped up about second year.

232
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: You were J J. Nelson, he said on NBC radio.

233
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: He's going to have a great year now. He was

234
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: in that limited role last season. And Kevin Patrick actually

235
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: wrote up this article so shout out to him, um,

236
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: and he described him as a petite five ft ten

237
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: one dred and sixty pounds he's talking about on there. Yeah, um,

238
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't like to see him called J. J. Nelson

239
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: petite to his face. That's classic NFL player here, Patrick,

240
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: who up in the winter and now is cutting weight

241
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: in the summer, is now calling professional athletes petite. Nelson

242
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: is five ten one sixties, so he and patra about

243
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: the same size. So look, I mean he has Larry Fitzgerald,

244
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd, and John Brown on that depth chart. He

245
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: has to get in front of one of these guys.

246
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: How do you see this playing out, Greg, Well, He's

247
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: not get in front of any of those guys. Although

248
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: between Floyd and Brown, especially the the odds of one

249
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: of them being hurt at some point is certainly possible,

250
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: so that they're gonna need J. J. Nelson. And I

251
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals throw the ball enough. They don't really

252
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: use the tight end that much, as we talked about

253
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: in the last show, that they can use a fourth receiver.

254
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, even in his role last year, you saw

255
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Nelson flash. He certainly looked good in the preseason a

256
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: couple of times, made some big time plays in the

257
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: regular season. Bruce Arians and Steve come have been talking J. J.

258
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: Nelson up all offseason. I remember at the scouting combine

259
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: when they were talking about him, and somebody asked if

260
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: who's fastered between John Brown and J. J. Nelson and

261
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: ariansaid his not even close. Nelson's faster and John Brown's

262
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: one of the fastest wide receivers in the league, And

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: they said, and he also talked him up during the

264
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: O t A s about just how good he is

265
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: tracking the ball, that he has something special about tracking

266
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Over his shoulder, which is just a tough

267
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: thing for young receivers to do, and he's got that

268
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: skill set. It's amazing how they find these guys. Where

269
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: did J J. Nelson went to go to college? Anybody

270
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: so much optimism in the off season? How much of

271
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: it is true? Well? J J. Nelson in yeah, the

272
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: in fairness by the way, he went to U A. B.

273
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: I believe they eliminated their program for a little while

274
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: after he left. Although I think it's back the first announcements.

275
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's not. It's not a good sign

276
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: when you eliminate the program. He probably not a great

277
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: but this is the time of year where guys like J. J.

278
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: Nelson lightweight guys when there's no tackling. You know, this

279
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: is kind of there? Are you calling Kevin Patra lightweight? Wow? No,

280
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: I would never do that. I I would never insult

281
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: another man's body. I'm built like a twelve year old girl.

282
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: Um By the way, so one of the things that

283
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: um Dan does when he hosts the show is keep time.

284
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: So far, made some mistakes in my timing, don't doubt yourself.

285
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: And no, I'm only at five minutes so far, and

286
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: it's definitely wrong. A great producer serves as a backup,

287
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: and I have us at perfect okay, so I'm ten

288
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: minutes off great. I'm also really good at math okay.

289
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, let's move on to our next

290
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: story here, Oh, the next story. Oh, Dan, you should

291
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: be in here for this one. This is so much wreckage.

292
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Dan also wearing his Jet shirt today too, So Eric Decker.

293
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: He's tired of Ryan Fitzpatrick and the whole contract situation. Um. Actually, tonight,

294
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: at seven pm on Total Access, Tiffany Blackman has a

295
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: one on one interview with Eric Decker, and he said

296
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: that he's so tired of answering questions about Fitzpatrick. I

297
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: know everybody's tired of hearing about it, he said. On

298
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: a scale from one to ten, he's at a ten

299
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: right now. We've talked about it at nauseum. Here. Everyone

300
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: feels the same way. The Jets players feel the same way.

301
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: The coach feels the same way, the GM feels the

302
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: same way. West feels the same way. I feel the

303
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: same way. And I, you know, not to toot my

304
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: own horn, but months ago I predicted this was gonna

305
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: get ugly if they didn't take care of it, and

306
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: God forbid it went into training camp and guess what

307
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: that the goddamn Jets. So what happens? This is going

308
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: to go into training camp and it's gonna continue to

309
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: haunt the franchise and create ugliness and again points to

310
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: an ugly season in New York for the Jets. I

311
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: am not excited right having you literally did your own

312
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: horn during this podcast, like multiple times, and you have

313
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: multiple horns. I don't know, that's it more of a bell.

314
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like a clown car horn, is your

315
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: own horn, Dan Hand, this song is like tooting your

316
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: own horn, all right? Uh no, I I honestly I'm

317
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: sick of it too. It's moving at a glacial pace

318
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that just like it

319
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: makes me not like the Jets, and it makes me

320
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: sick of Ryan Fitzpatrick. And I don't really want to

321
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: do that. I don't want to feel like that, but

322
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: I have no choice. I feel sorry for poor NFL media.

323
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: Tiffany Blackman, one of one of my favorite of our

324
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: team reporters who knows ahead of time. Eric Decker, is

325
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: fed up with this question, and she also has to

326
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: ask the questions stuff. So one of the I actually

327
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: went down to the comments section on this article and

328
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com and Admirable Lord Ken says, give Mo

329
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: that money and move on already. What do you think

330
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: about that? Giving the money to my Wilkers instead? It's

331
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: fair are It's at a certain point Ryan Fitzpatrick might

332
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: have overplayed his hand and the team just gonna say

333
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: screw it. You know, I hope that doesn't happen. Patrick

334
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: sitting there with a pair of threes in his hand. Yeah,

335
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: trying to push more money to the center. I don't

336
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: want to be on the Gino coast there. But this

337
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: is getting ridiculous. This is a false it's false comparison.

338
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: But if the false choice, I suppose. But if the

339
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: two choices were forget Ryan Fitzpatrick, just roll with Gino Smith,

340
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: see what happens this year, and give Moe Wilkerson the

341
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: money he wants and Moe Wilkerson has signed long term,

342
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: or it's you get Fitzpatrick, you get Mo Wilkerson back

343
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: on a one year contract, but it's probably his last

344
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: year in New York. If I'm a Jets fan, I'm

345
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: taking the long term Mo Wilkerson contract. And rolling the

346
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: dice with Gino. He's more important long term. Are those

347
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: two situations related to each other. Maybe not. Maybe they

348
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: have to be somewhat related. They're on the same team

349
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: and they're strapped for cap you know, cap room, they

350
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: should be somewhat related. Like I said, it's probably a

351
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: false choice. But if you have to make the choice there, Dan, Oh, well,

352
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: I've are you know the fact that they have a

353
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: killer schedule this year and they're you know, one of

354
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: those in between teams where they're not you know, a

355
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: jugg or not, and they're not bad. If there was

356
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: a season to look ahead, I would say this could

357
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: be it. So yeah, but I don't think it's that simple.

358
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: I wish it. Well, I'm sensing people are getting on

359
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: the Gino coaster with me. Well, you look at what

360
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos did last year, and it was the defense

361
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: and not Peyton Manning. So if Gino Smith could just

362
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: be a serviceable quarterback and import the Broncos two thousand defense,

363
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: yes help Yeah? All right? Well, Um, just to sort

364
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: of pull the curtain back a little bit before the show, Um,

365
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: Dan came in here and he was dancing and like

366
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: he was in a really good mood. Normally, when I'm

367
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: always been here, he's always in a good mood. But

368
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: I can always see he's like a little stressed sometimes,

369
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: like he's just he wants to get all of his

370
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: stuff together and he to plan it out so before

371
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: the show when we all come in here, he's usually

372
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: like kind of in the zone. And and just like

373
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: in his computer today he waltz is in, he's dancing,

374
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: he's making jokes. But we were also listening to Lemonade,

375
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Beyonce's lemon and that sparked a little bit of a

376
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: conversation about album of the Year. So I like this.

377
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I said that I think Beyonce's Lemonade should

378
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: get Album of the Year. I think it will. I

379
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: love Chance the rapper, I love Kanye, but Beyonce, you

380
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: can't top it for me. I want to hear West

381
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: Chiman first Blood on the track here. Have you listened

382
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: to West? How old are you pretty to? Have you

383
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: listened to any music recorded in relief that was released

384
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: this year? Yes, I've listened to Kanye's album. Okay, tried

385
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: to listen to Beyonce's but they make it awfully hard

386
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: to find it. Yeah, come back to us. Get on,

387
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: I thought you liked Chance to Know. I like the

388
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: song that played in the podcast studio. That was good. Well,

389
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: what else is out there? What would be? I mean,

390
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: we gotta represent other rock or pop or Bear's only

391
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: half of what is that? And what are those things? Yeah,

392
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Lemonade is fantastic. I've never listened to

393
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: any Beyonce album more than a couple of times. It's

394
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: just not my not my cup of tea, but this,

395
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: but Lemonade I've listened to constantly. It's very enjoyable. And

396
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: it's like it's like art, you know, with a capital A.

397
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: You throw in the you throw in the films. It's

398
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna win everything. That's That's the point is it doesn't

399
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: matter what we think. That's that just seems like something

400
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna win every single Grammy whenever that comes up.

401
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: And well, and it's gonna be very strange. Everyone's gonna

402
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: be commenting on how awkward it is that jay Z

403
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 1: is just sitting there, you know. Next I know, well,

404
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: I thought it was awkward that he was in the video,

405
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: like in the actual Lemonade. Oh, come on, visual components

406
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: all a ruse, but it's all it's all for show.

407
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: I never before this for the record, so this changed

408
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: everything for me. Interesting alright, but no, I'm going Chance.

409
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean definitely my I mean the song that we

410
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: played on Song of the Summer All Night that would

411
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: that would maybe be my fifth favorite song on that album.

412
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's if you if you want, like, just

413
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: in terms of pure talent, he's got to be in

414
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: the in the upper echelon of the most talented rappers

415
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: of all time already. Wow, I don't think it's that.

416
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's that bold. And it's a

417
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: very joyous, enjoying, like it's a happy album. It's gonna

418
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: make you happy. Dan, what do you think I like

419
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: that We've got I've got I don't know chime in

420
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: on Chance of Rappers, So I would have to study

421
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: what I've been listening to this year, But I do

422
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: like I didn't like the Kanye lap, but I think

423
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: that he is h you know, the Academy, the Grammys,

424
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: they don't like him, so I don't think they'll give

425
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: it to him. Beyonce is kind of a Riddicks darling

426
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: and the the darling of you know, the listeners of

427
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: the world, so I would go with that. This is

428
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: Chance by the way again. Oh, I like this a

429
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: strange startup. I like his actual voice too. Well, he's

430
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: not going to get in until thirty seconds into this song.

431
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: It's unfortunately, but it's coloring book the name of the album, right,

432
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be listening to that all right. Oh, this

433
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: is great. This is a great song. This is Will

434
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: this be played at WrestleMania? Yeah? Alright, this is that

435
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: song is so much better than the crappy justin timber

436
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Lake song. You really hate that so much. Just now

437
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: Brandon is dancing, but it's kind of catchy, and I

438
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: don't want it to be catchy. It's brand unoriginal. All

439
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: My prediction was like, what do you have such shine

440
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: in your pocket? And wanted to get on the board.

441
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: I had to swap because he didn't get around. Alright, alright,

442
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: move on, um, so let's talk about let's talk about

443
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: football again. Maybe we could do that. Football is happening,

444
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: I mean it will be happening soon at least. Yeah.

445
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: So we have a Comeback Player of the Year candidates

446
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: for Seen. So we have a nomination from every single

447
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: person here, including Dan behind the Glass Okay, so, uh West,

448
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: let's start with you. A lot of wide receivers coming back.

449
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: He could go Des Briant, Jordie Nelson, Calvin, Benjamin, I

450
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: will I won't even say Victor Cruz, but no, I'm

451
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: going to Andrew Luck. He was the first guy I

452
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: thought of. It was just last offseason that we're hearing

453
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: from Frank Gore and Andre j some guys who have

454
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: been around the league for a dozen years saying, this

455
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: guy's a football god, best quarterback we've ever seen, runs

456
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the team like a coach. He's he was one. He

457
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: was coming off leading the NFL and touchdowns and finishing

458
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: third yards, and we just act like he's just some

459
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: guy who might be good. Now he's clearly great. We're not. No,

460
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: we're not saying who is We're not. Players ranked him

461
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: number ninety two. Well, that list is a little odd.

462
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: I can't use that as a strum in argument because

463
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: we know that terrible. In our last podcast, Greg asked

464
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: if maybe we're a little skeptical that he can recapture

465
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: that point. Well, what what I said was I think Russell.

466
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: All I said, was it surprising to me that Russell

467
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: Wilson seems like a sure bet. And I think you

468
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: agree with that. Who did you rank higher in your

469
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: top one hundred west, So I think on some level

470
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: you agree with that that he's just like a safer,

471
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: safer bet. That's all I'm saying. I I'm with you

472
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: that I do think Luck is going to bounce back,

473
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's a great choice. I think that's

474
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: if you're going to uh where they where they take

475
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: your money, for where they take your money that chake

476
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: on these sort of things. It's hot there a lot

477
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: I would get if they have such a pepper room.

478
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: But to al Michaels, I would guess the Andrew Luck

479
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: is one of the top choices there for this award.

480
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: If there is such a yeah, that's a that's a

481
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: really good I would almost think that magical City in

482
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: the Desert, we're spice rack n NHL. Yeah, they might

483
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: even take that quarterback off the board because I mean

484
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: he's obviously not pretty weird. I mean he's clearly whatever

485
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the names we're going to say here, Luck,

486
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: I think everyone agrees as a Hall of Fame talent

487
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: that just had a bad injury marred year. Everyone does

488
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: not agree. I wish they would. Well they'll they'll find

489
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: out soon enough, thank you. And they focused to on

490
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: fixing or hope. I mean, hopefully they're fixing that offensive line.

491
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: But they did put a lot of resources into it,

492
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: so hopefully that helps luck as well. I like that

493
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: one west I went with a tight end. I feel

494
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: like people sort of forget about this guy a little bit,

495
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas. I thought, you're going Jimmy Graham. No, no,

496
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: And I thought about Jimmy Graham. But I the way

497
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: that they looked at the Seahawks offense looked when Jimmy

498
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Graham went down, they just looked so much better that

499
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm staying away from him. But I

500
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: like Julius Thomas because you know, he he was injured

501
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: in the preseason, so he missed a lot of time there.

502
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: He missed the first quarter of the season, and he

503
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: was with a new team. He's a new offense, new quarterback,

504
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: and missing time that's crucial time, especially when when you're

505
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: in his position and it's like you can't really build

506
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: chemistry with the guys around you and your quarterback when

507
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: you're not in there and you're not getting the reps

508
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: and stuff, and he really did start to improve the

509
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: second half of last season. And so I think that

510
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: that now that he has a full off season and

511
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: he's able to spend time with Blake and just kind

512
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: of get into the rhythm there, I think that he's

513
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: going to be a lot better this year, even even

514
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: with the disappointing year last year. He leads all NFL

515
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: tight ends and touchdowns every last three years. I saw that,

516
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: and I was so surprised. I had to double check that, because,

517
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Peyton Manning those two years were incredible. Well,

518
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: I use that as maybe West when you you like

519
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: to say that the wide receiver makes the quarterback in

520
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: a lot of cases. I mean, Julius Thomas is a

521
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: perfect example to me of the quarterback making the receiver.

522
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: He's never gonna be a ten touchdown guy again, is

523
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: he really? I would push back major lea against him. Alright,

524
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: great target and bordles through touchdowns. And furthermore, I don't

525
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know what are the rules. I know

526
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: it's hazy the rules for which is why it's what

527
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: is he coming back? I know he heard his finger

528
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the season back from a back he's coming

529
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: back from a bad season and missing missing time. He

530
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: looked a little chunk by the way at the end

531
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: of last season. That's something the track as well. This

532
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: is a guy that I think West jumps off the

533
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: tape when you watch him, that he's really He's also

534
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: a guy with as many seasons over five hundred yards

535
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: is Jared Cook or someone that probably less than that.

536
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: And he has one season in his NFL career with

537
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: right but he didn't play play the first two years.

538
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: He had one great year and then he had the

539
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: weird year the last year in Denver. So it's a

540
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: guy that hasn't consistently produced for whatever reason. The knock

541
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: on him is the same one as Jimmy Grand Toughness,

542
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: that if he gets a nagging injury, he's not going

543
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: to produce at the level shoot yeah, but you know,

544
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: I feel like with the success that he had in

545
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Denver and then the fact that he went to Jacksonville

546
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: and it was such just such a down year for him,

547
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: I feel like that's got to eat away at you

548
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I would hope that he would

549
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: come back and just that that would at least fuel

550
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Um also because they have Allen

551
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Robinson Alan Hearns defenses. I mean the way that Robinson

552
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: was last year, defenses are going to have to cover them.

553
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: So that will help Julius Thomas as well. That's true,

554
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: all right, who's years Rosie? Well? I thought about you

555
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: know your your pick for uh when you had to

556
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: really hang some onions days ago when I was gone,

557
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 1: I thought about Kaepernick because I'm thinking, you know, narratives

558
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: work with this comeback Player of the Year award. Yes, big,

559
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: big point. It's all about the narrative. And except except

560
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: for when Philip rivers one and I was just like,

561
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: what was he coming back from being the eighteenth quarterback

562
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: in the league. And then I thought about, well, that's

563
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: similar to that. Maybe it could be uh, my guy,

564
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, just because I want to mention my my

565
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: article going up today the case for Ryan Tannehill. But

566
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: now he does not really make any sense as comeback

567
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: player here. So I chose what I really would would

568
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: pick if I was putting down sandwiches in this mythical

569
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: desert town that we speaked about, and that's des Bryant.

570
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean, des Briant is someone I think that's gonna

571
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: be highly motivated to prove that last year was uh

572
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: an aberration, and I think it's gonna be highly motivated

573
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: to be in as good shape as possible, which he

574
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: has admitted that was not the case last year, coming

575
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: off of his holdout and some injury issues obviously, and

576
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: then you you get this. I don't know how many

577
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: more years we're gonna have Tony Romo, but I don't

578
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to run the playbook that

579
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: they did a few years ago where he didn't throw

580
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: the ball that much. I think they're gonna be throwing

581
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: the ball a ton and they got a great offensive line,

582
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: and that's a recipe for dest Bryant to get to,

583
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, almost two thousand yards something like that. Um,

584
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: I think with that quarterback, with that offensive line, with

585
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: that young running back, and with Dez Bryant, the ceiling

586
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys on offense. I mean, I'm not gonna

587
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: put it. I agree with I think the general consensus

588
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: here that the Packer is probably the best offense in

589
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: the league if everything is clicking, but the Cowboys they're

590
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna be in contention if everything clicks and people stay healthy.

591
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: I agree and I don't think that defense is gonna

592
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: be very good, but I think that helps out does

593
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: Briant's case. I think they're gonna be unlike a couple

594
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: of years ago. I think they're gonna be in a

595
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: lot of games that it's six or thirty four, thirty one,

596
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to score a lot of points. Greg.

597
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: How about the idea that he could be breaking down

598
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: physically at age? The only person I've ever heard that

599
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: claim is Dan Hans. Well, I'm just saying that he's

600
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: got a lot going on with his body. He's been

601
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: around a while now, it's certainly possible. I can't wait

602
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: to see Dez Bryant Josh Norman. I mean, oh that's true.

603
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't like the I don't like the feet. Don't

604
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: like the feet, don't like a back. He left it.

605
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: You left the stadium in a wheelchair for no reason.

606
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: I love this, Brian, I'm surprised. I do love Wait,

607
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: why do I have to be a blind fanboy about something.

608
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's two sides of the coin. With

609
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: the conversation, well, his uh, his guy that he should

610
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: follow his Brandon Marshall because no one Knowing is more

611
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: physical and had more surgeries than Brandon Marshall, and yet

612
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: he's had some great longevity in his career. Aff do

613
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: you have a comeback player of the Year? Do you

614
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: not count because you're a producer. Well, let's be honest.

615
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: In in a normal situation, the producer would not We

616
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't trust the football acumen of a You don't trust

617
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: my football acumen at yet? Please? All right, wait, but no,

618
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: I'll let you. Of course you have Tom kidding Uh,

619
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Kevin White, I'll throw out there as a guy that's

620
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: a little off the grid, and in general, I'd like

621
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: to say I have ad that the Bears and Vikings

622
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna switch fates this season and it will be the

623
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: Bears getting back to the playoffs. And a big reason

624
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: why is that j Cutler, of all people, will turn

625
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: into a big time passer with Alshon Jeffrey dynamic. Kevin White,

626
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: a guy who's been compared to Andre Johnson by his

627
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach. A guy who's looking very strong and

628
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: healthy in the offseason workouts. Look out for Kevin White.

629
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: Baby come back trop alert, troupe alert. Okay, nailed it.

630
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: You're believing all the officer is in hype about Kevin White.

631
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: You haven't even seen him play at staff, but all

632
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're he's your comeback of the year candidate. Yeah,

633
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait till Brian Hoyer wins come Back Player

634
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: of the Year with this wide receiver corps. Right. Uh, sorry, guys,

635
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm too busy hanging onion onion, I don't know. I like,

636
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: I've got a play ball. I got guys back there

637
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: saying Andrew Lux the comeback player of the year. I'm

638
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: hanging on get over here that the goal is to

639
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: get it right? Well, has there ever been I like

640
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: Kevin White? That's an interesting pick. Has there ever been

641
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: a guy who missed his rookie year, never played in

642
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: the NFL and still one comeback player of the year?

643
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: Good question? Probably not right, I would guess not. Could

644
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Irishman just ran it? Could you be a Rookie of

645
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: the Year and comeback player of the year? Couldn't he?

646
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it can be a Rookie of the

647
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: year in your second Could he be both? By the way,

648
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: we should now move it where it's no longer called

649
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: the Sessler, It's called a playball. When you when I've

650
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: got a play ball. Ah. Yeah, Brandon has sent me

651
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: multiple notes during the podcast. Yeah, what is Brandon doing?

652
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: The latest one is that I that we owe him.

653
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: I owe him a sandwich for his knowledge. Don't challenge

654
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: his producer knowledge. He did win a sandwich. Brand I

655
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: would put if I had a rank one to tend

656
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: how well Brandon's handling this, which isn't really a demotion,

657
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: just more a little changeup with the guard here. It's

658
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: like how you how you did to Colleen and softball? Yeah,

659
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: basically I would think he's in eleven right now. He's

660
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: jumping around there like he's a cheerleader today. I think

661
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: he's like on a sugar rush right now, very proud,

662
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: jumping all over the studio and they're whispering to each other. Now,

663
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on Sugar Ray Rush. Guys, I've

664
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: never seen Brandon. We need to have an intervention with

665
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: the sugar Rette. Yeah. I thought you guys were talking

666
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: about Sugar Ray Leonard the other day before the pod.

667
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: You were talking sugar Rotte and I was like, oh,

668
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: I guess I missed this whole conversation whatever not. No,

669
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: it was Sugaray the artist Okay, So, Chris, you wrote

670
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: an artist air quotes and article that's up right now

671
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com that everybody can check out. So

672
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: it's about the most valuable non quarterbacks entering the season,

673
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: and question did you rank these? Are they in order?

674
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Are they like you have I know their number? No,

675
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: I have it right here, and I do observation. That's

676
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: what banger, that's what hosts after artcore Banger not read

677
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: Chris's articles, but you're looking at them and you have

678
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: them numbered one through ten. I didn't know if one

679
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: was like the top once the top right, Okay, I

680
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: will confirm, got it, so, but I was like, I

681
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: don't know if you're just lying to cover up for

682
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: the fact that you haven't read it, Colleen, but you

683
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: kind of you could use some context clues here. When J. J.

684
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: Wattson number ten, I just number one, Patrick page number ten.

685
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: You know you can kind of figure it out. I'm

686
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: a terrible liar, all right, So let's let's get to

687
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: this list. It's a really great, all encompassing list. Um,

688
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: but now that I'm looking at it one through five,

689
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: you only have one offensive player. Interesting, well, all the

690
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: best offensive players play the guy behind the center. Yeah,

691
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: do you think that it's just like a great time

692
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: for defensive players or just well, you're saying defense, A

693
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: great defensive player inherently you're saying is more valuable than

694
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver or skill position or now I'm

695
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: not saying so it's just saying J. J. Watt is,

696
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: Mike go Down is the best defensive player of all

697
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: time when it's all said and done. Aaron Donald played

698
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: on his level last year. Von Miller is the Super

699
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: Bowl m v P and will be the highest paid

700
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: non quarterback in the NFL soon. And Luke Keickley I

701
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: think is he's going to be a first ballot Hall

702
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: of Fame middle linebacker. So that's who you're dealing with.

703
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: And Gronk is in their class. Gronk is number two

704
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: on your list, number two. So you have no backs

705
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: on this list? No bell, I mean, can he stay

706
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: off the suspended list and out of the trainers room.

707
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: The one that stands out to me the most is Keikley,

708
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: And I guess I'd like to hear you explain, like

709
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: why you think he's at that level, um where he's

710
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: that valuable to their team. I think you could look

711
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: at the Panthers and argue Kwan Short last year was

712
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: as valuable as Keickley. Is that that crazy? Really? I

713
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: would point you in the direction of the Dallas Cowboys

714
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game, which is the best game I've seen by

715
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: an inside linebacker in the past half decade, and his

716
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: playoff run, which was overshadowed by Von Miller's but equally

717
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: as impressive in a different kind of way. I thought

718
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis. I guess it's just there's so many good

719
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: players in the defense that you maybe you don't think

720
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: of Chickley standing apart that much. Like, for instance, in

721
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: the conference championship game, I thought Thomas Davis before his

722
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: injury was the most was the best guy on the field.

723
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: That's nothing against Quickly is just Thomas Davis was insanely good.

724
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: Uh So, it's he's surrounded by a great talent, but

725
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: you shouldn't count that against Luke le Um West. Yes,

726
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: I like your list, Thank you, Dan. I think it's

727
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: very strong. I like Aaron Donald. Aaron Donald is number three.

728
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people would put him there,

729
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: but West is a real football head, so I I

730
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: believe in him. When he puts him in the top three.

731
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: There the one question I will say, you got a

732
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: p on the just missed portion of this Uh, isn't

733
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: that kind of I know you said earlier this week

734
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: that maybe lost a half step, but you get on

735
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: people for doubting. Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Peterson is one of

736
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 1: the greatest running backs of all times. Shouldn't we give

737
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: him a little more room and shouldn't be on this

738
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: top ten still until he really falls off. I love

739
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. I think he's great, but I'm not gonna

740
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: put a thirty year old running back up there who

741
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: doesn't really do much in the passing game. This would

742
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: be probably the first time in his entire career that

743
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be on a list like this. I would

744
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: rank Levyan Bell over Adrian Peterson, and he did, and

745
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: I I agree because of what you said about past

746
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: seen downs, like he he has a role, but you

747
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: also don't have any two down defensive tackles on this list,

748
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: and at this point in his career, You're right, he's

749
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: not a gigantic acid on third downs, which is like

750
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: every other down is a passing down. Well, for all

751
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: the weirdos on the Vikings reddit Board. Look, Adrian Peterson

752
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: is the best running back of his generation. He's one

753
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite players of all time. But he's not

754
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: what he was three years ago. He's still great, he's

755
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: just not like the two thousand and ninety seven yards

756
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: in a single season guy. Now, Tyron Matthew, he's also

757
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: on the just miss list. If he stayed healthy, where

758
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: would he would he have moved at all? I think

759
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: he'd be in the top ten if he had stayed healthy. Really,

760
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: so he'd be ahead of his teammate Peterson, maybe neck

761
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: and neck. Right there you have Antonio Brown, Julio Jones,

762
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham six seven eight, And it does get

763
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: me thinking about just this era of wide receivers is crazy.

764
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's it's I don't think

765
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: it's just that the numbers are inflated, because if you

766
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: throw in DeAndre Hopkins and A. J. Green and Des

767
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: Bryant into that mix and they didn't quite make your

768
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: top ten. Uh, that's just a crazy top heavy like

769
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: stars stud number one receiver group right now? Yeah, I

770
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: think you can. I mean you look at the numbers

771
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones had the second most receptions and yards

772
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: ever last season, and part of that is because of

773
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: the era they played in. But Antonio Brown was right

774
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: behind him. And I think you can make the argument

775
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: that Odell Beckham is the best wide receiver in the

776
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: game since he entered the starting lap, since he played

777
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: his first NFL game in Week five of two thousand fourteen.

778
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: Gronk is the only player within six touchdowns of him.

779
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: But you have Julio. You have Julio ranked higher than him. Yeah,

780
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: and Julio has more yards than him, I mean yards

781
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: and receptions count two day? Do you think uh? In

782
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: one two? Here? Do you think if Rick Smith picked

783
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: up the phone and called Belichick and offered what for Gronk? Oh? God,

784
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: what would Belichick? I don't think either of those guys

785
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: would take it. They like what they have. That would

786
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: be so weird. It would be weird. And yet I

787
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: think Belichick would take it, really, I mean not, I guess.

788
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: I guess in a real real world, are you dot?

789
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: You don't just want to mess up your team? But

790
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: I think in Belichick would agree with West that J. J.

791
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: Watt is a more valuable player, not to mention he's

792
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: a healthier player over and and let I feel like

793
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: less of an injury risk. I know he's coming off

794
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 1: an injury right now. But there were also multiple reports

795
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 1: that Belichick fell in love with J. J. Watt before

796
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: that draft. Oh that's a good point. If I was

797
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: Dan right now, I would chime in with its convenient

798
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: how those Patriots stories always come out. Belichick was out,

799
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: you know you want you wanted after one came out

800
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: before the draft. Okay, yeah, and Phil Belichick's infallible, Greg.

801
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: That's how I see it from behind the I love

802
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: this list. I really have no problems with it. I wanted.

803
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear what you said with Kik Lee.

804
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: I would put Miller higher, uh than Aaron Donald. But

805
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: that is a small quibble. And that is basically just

806
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: when I look at this list, I kind of think

807
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: it's not just last year. I don't think you're basing

808
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: it just the last year. You're based on all data

809
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: available to us, right, and to me, the fact that

810
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: von Miller has been so great year after year, really

811
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: since the day he entered the league would give him

812
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: a slight edge because I want to see Aaron Donald

813
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: do it again, you know, I mean, you're talking about

814
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: reason he won Defensive Rookie of the Year the year

815
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: before that, so it's not like we're talking about a

816
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: guy without a pedigree. That's fair. And then, I mean,

817
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: that's a small quibble. I would put him. I would

818
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: still have Donald on the topic. I also want to

819
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: point out you always between the top one hundred list

820
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: and this list, you always have a lot of love

821
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: for Geno Atkins, which always which I appreciate. I think

822
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: you're the biggest Geno Atkins truth are out there about

823
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: what what a great player he is. He's right up

824
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: there with Aaron Donald. Really, I mean, I think they're

825
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: neck and neck for the best defensive tackle in the league.

826
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: And Gino and two of the past four years has

827
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: been one of the best defensive players in the league.

828
00:43:55,360 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: He's a different alright, dud Dan, if this article how

829
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: to vanity you are, what would it be? NFL dot

830
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: com slash West ain't all about the QBS. This game

Speaker 1: So everybody can check that out there. It's a great

834
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: article I've basically written. I haven't written any of it.

835
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm reading it right now. You're trying to take credit.

836
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: Should point out what prompted this article with Dan. You're

837
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, as a producer, you're supposed to be making

838
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: the talent feel better and and you're doing strike three

839
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: at this point. You're doing this sad you know. Now,

840
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't strike three and west this point I hit

841
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: the button by accident. I'm not good at this. No,

842
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: you're great. I think you're great. It's been a lot

843
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: of the chisels have been thrown away. Wait, so what

844
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: spurred this article? Well, Fletcher Cox just got a new

845
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: contract which made him the second highest paid non quarterback

846
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: in NFL history, and all the talk is that von

847
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: Miller will soon become the highest paid non quarterback in

848
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: NFL history. So it seemed like a good time to

849
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: write this up. Great timing, good content, well written, good read,

850
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: got my words together. Yeah, it's gonna be a metrics banger,

851
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. They're gonna arrive this thing through

852
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: the weekend. Yeah, but who's they? That's the big question

853
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: the d P. That's true, Dan, I want to thank

854
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: you for throwing me in the seat unprepared. I think

855
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: I learned a lot, you know, what. I think we

856
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: all learned a lot here, because I learned a lot

857
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: behind the glass on what goes into producing and how

858
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not an easy job. And I just

859
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: want to say, Irish now sitting to my right, Uh,

860
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: pick up the chisels. Does this mean that he's officially

861
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: on Mount Rushmore? Now you've been back there. I don't

862
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: think I not yet. It's not a done deal yet.

863
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: Keep dangling the carrot. Yeah, you gotta dangle that carrot.

864
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: What does he have to do? Dan, Let's just let

865
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: let this whole thing play out. Translation. If it's gonna happen,

866
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a production out of it and have

867
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: some elements. We're not just gonna throw it into the

868
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: end of the show where Ben's not even on a microphone.

869
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: That's a good job producing by Dan Hans. I've never

870
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: seen Brandon so happy. Is like the wacky sidekick on

871
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: the radio show that keeps on handing little notes of bits. Uh.

872
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: This one says, how to get on Mount Rushmore? Get

873
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: four hits tonight? Yeah, Brandon's first ever leadoff appearance. I

874
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: will be doing scouting reports for everybody from the bench,

875
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: all right, didn't take over the Sessler social media rule.

876
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: Oh perfect, all right, great, we're gonna miss Mark. I

877
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: know I haven't been at a game yet with Mark,

878
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: but then I've only been to three games, and one

879
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: of them you try to order beer from the outfit,

880
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: and the other one there was no umpires, so it

881
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: wasn't really an official game. I had three in that one. Well,

882
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: now the pressure is on. This time it counts. We

883
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: Miss Mark is going to be back with us. Is

884
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: he back on Monday? He is back Tuesday. Whenever we're

885
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 1: doing on vacation on Monday, it's not the same without

886
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: him here. No, you need that, you need that energy.

887
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: That that's Sissler energy. So yeah, he's gonna come back refreshed.

888
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. I'm excited. All right, what do

889

Speaker 1: We will be back for another show on Monday. Two

891
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: shows next week. We'll probably do it Monday Thursday. That

892
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: sounds really okay, great, Well, everybody have a great weekend.

893
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,000

00:47:39,440 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: cop with a nickname Field tusir still Monday, nicely alright.

896
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,520

897
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: the program and it's good just being the producer, you know,

898
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: and Dan, like every producer, don't be afraid to get

899
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: in my ear. I don't know how to do that.

900
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: So okay, wait, that's a button, Connie, do you hear me?

901
