Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, always Triple Sources. Welcome back

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis and I'm joined by Room Failed

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. What's

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: up boys? Happy Monday, everybody, Happy Monday. And to you,

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: you know do you? Classic rock fans are probably aware

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: of this, are music fans. John Lennon's Lost Weekend. It's

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: when he was estranged from Yoko, and I think a

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of drug use was involved and the weekend was

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal in his growth as a man.

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: According to John Lennon, Rest in Peace. I had a

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: similar lost weekend this weekend, but nothing exciting, no heroin,

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: no Yoko figure involved, no growth as a man, no

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: growth as a man at all. Just I don't remember

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: anything about the weekend and it's gone, and I'm just

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: starting to accept that this is my life and it

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: was to to like pleasant, adventurous excess. I feel you.

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: On the some of these weekends were suddenly it's it's

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: it's not just Sunday night, it's Monday morning at four

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: fifty am, and like you can feel a week staring

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: down at you. You're three days older and you've got

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: nothing to show for nothing. How was your weekend? Guys?

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: That was good. I was meant to hang out with

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Dan on St. Patrick's daying around four pm. I texted

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: and said, it's not happening. It wasn't happening on my

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: wasn't happening. It just wasn't gonna happen. And that was it.

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: And then Sunday happened yesterday. Don't barely remember Sunday. The

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: last weekend inertia is I barely remember anything. It's kind

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: of a nice way to go through life. What's gonna

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: happen when you actually start getting old, Greg, and you

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: know the ravages of time, Uh start to zap your

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: mind a little bit and your memory gets let I'm

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: a little worried about that. I think it's it's I

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: were already there. Yeah, we're there. I view it more

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: as like a lifestyle choice. There are certain things I

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: choose to mark as meaningful. I'll keep that, but pretty

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: much everything out. So you're in a you're like a

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: memory elitist. Maybe so. I mean like I was having

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: a good time this weekend. I was enjoying it, you know,

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of time with the kids

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: and stuff. But yeah, it's just gone good stuff, good stuff, alright,

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: good good chat guys on the week and uh, let's

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: talk about football now, because a lot to talk about. Uh.

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: We're now just hitting like the week mark since the

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: legal tampering period began, so free agency. Free agency has

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: definitely settled down, but there are still some chips falling

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: into place. So we're gonna get caught up. Uh since

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the last time we spoke to you, which was uh

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: or recorded for you, which was Friday morning. Uh, So

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: we will get into it, and we'll start with big

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: talk at the top of the draft board around Oh yeah,

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: my favorite team, that New York Jets. All right, let's

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: get into it. Alright. So the big news over the weekend,

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: and it was on St. Patrick's Day that the Jets

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: announced that they had acquired the number three overall pick

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: in the draft with the Indianapolis Cults. The Jets and

57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: their sixth overall pick, the thirty seventh overall pick, the

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: forty ninth overall picks, so both their second round picks

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: as well as a second rounder in twenty nineteen to

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the Cults. Uh So the Jets move up, get into

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: prime quarterback real estate. Maybe not as high up Mark

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: as they wanted to because they guess placed the phone

63
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: call to the Cleveland Browns. They're never gonna do business

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants. That is a relationship fraught

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: with pitfalls throughout the years. Uh so they move up

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: to three box out the bills. I'm real happy as

67
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: a Jets ven your thoughts on this move, Mark, I

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: think it's we're seeing more and more of these trades

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: where I guess you want to come out and say, oh,

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: one team a fleeced team B and it's evident to everyone.

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I think this is a deal where the Jets win

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: because according to what we're hearing from the Jets, they're

73
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: comfortable with in theory getting the third quarterback on the

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: board or their board, that they would be okay with that.

75
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: And and the Colts, who I incorrectly pained on Friday

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: for being too inactive, it really they want to build

77
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: through the draft and this allows Chris ball Or to

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: do exactly that. So you can pick a winner in this,

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: but for me, both teams got what they needed. The

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Jets have needed a quarterback forever, and they have a

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: chance to get one. This is a fascinating trade on

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: so many levels. They put the Bills and Checkmates six

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: weeks before the draft. It turns the giants number two

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: pick into one of the most interesting pick scenarios we've

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: ever seen. And I've never seen a trade like this

86
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: where a team gives up what they gave up nearly

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: two bucks on the dollar according to Chase Steward of

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Pro Football Reference, compared to some other trades like Golf

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: and Wentz that were much less on the dollar, And

90
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: they don't have a specific target in mind. You could

91
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: trade up on some level, but you can't because the

92
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: right you can only say that one of these three

93
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks I'm fine with or okay with that, But they

94
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: don't have an r G three, a Golf or a

95
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Wentz that specifically trading or or in theory they love

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: let's say Rosen and Mayfield, like those are their top

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: two guys, and they just feel really good and they

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: could be wrong that one of those two will be

99
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: there at three. It's it makes sense. I agree with

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: everything both of you guys said. The thing I'd be

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: worried about is the idea that ultimately all of these

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: moves are being made by the Jets and a general

103
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: manager who I'm not confident is going to be there

104
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: a year from now. And do the Jets avoid getting

105
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: into the same cycle that they've been in over and

106
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: over and over where different people are drafting players for

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: different parts of the franchise, Because will the Jets have

108
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: enough patients to withstand another three and thirteen, four and

109
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: twelve season and not change their general manager who just

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: spent a ton of money on mid level free agent

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: players and now is making all of these draft picks.

112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of draft picks. I mean, it's

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: it's four players for one, so you're you're trading four

114
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: players for one and including the number six overall pick

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: in this draft and three pretty high level picks. It's

116
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: virtually no risk, amazing move for the Colts, and it

117
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: all works out for the Jets if they pick the

118
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: right quarterback. But the trick is, it's not just about

119
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: picking the right quarterback. It's providing that quarterback with enough

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: structure from ownership to coach to general manager to the

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: players and having a plan to make that quarterback look good.

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: And if if they're five and eleven years now, if

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: they're five and eleven a year from now and they

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: fire all that, then it's a that's a it's a

125
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: dumb you're speaking, You're speaking a lot of sense, But

126
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: it's also it's one step of the time here. And

127
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: I think that they have some pieces in place on

128
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: a roster that's not ready for the playoffs. But I

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's as bad as last year, certainly not

130
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: when they had a lot of people are predicting Ode sixteen.

131
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: So I think there are some pieces there. I think

132
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: that if you get the quarterback and he shows flashes

133
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: um ability to play and be a franchise guy, which

134
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: it has to be too if you're gonna trade up

135
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: this high and give up this much, if you get

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: that guy in place, then I think mccagnut buys time.

137
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: The only way it doesn't work out is if they

138
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback that completely bombs in year one, like

139
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Deshaun Kaiser, which there was a lot of factors in

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: that in that but even he was a second rounder.

141
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: So it's like they if they can just get a

142
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: guy that flashes, I think it buys mccagnet sometime. Uh

143
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and and it should because I think he's had a

144
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: good offseason after the Kirk. I think that's tough to

145
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: evalue at a rookie quarterback. Of that, look at Jared

146
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: goffin his rookie season. There's plenty of them. But then,

147
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: what do you do not swing for the Jets? I

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: think if anything correctly assessed that there was a possibility

149
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: that if they stayed where they were at six, that

150
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: not only the third quarterback wouldn't come to them, that

151
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: maybe four or five could go, and then you'd be

152
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: stuck could not right, you'd be stuck with Josh McCown

153
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: and a wait and see Ted A Bridgewater. That's how

154
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: you get fired. If this works, Mike mccagnet could be

155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: there for the next ten, right, but he would also

156
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: be four years into I guess the thing which is

157
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: worth raising is he struggled drafting quarterbacks so far. It's

158
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: been much lower picks, but whether in Houston or New York,

159
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: and he hasn't really at this point shown anything for

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: his three years running the Jets for this process, right,

161
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think they sort of have

162
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: to buy into mccagnet and bowls again long term, which

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: is a crazy It's a crazy spot because usually you

164
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: do want to see progress after two, definitely three years

165
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: of a run, and they haven't shown it relevant to

166
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: the number six overall pick. Since Joe Flacco was selected

167
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: number eighteen overall in two thousand and eight, quarterbacks have

168
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: been drafted in the first round. Tim Tebow is the

169
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: only one from pick six to thirty two who's won

170
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: of a playoff game in the past decade. And I

171
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: thought that the Bills, Um, I don't know. I mean,

172
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: I understand that the Bills were aggressive to move up

173
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: to twelve, but I thought they telegraphed this a little

174
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: too much, too much and gave mccagnet if you needed

175
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: any more, uh, window to no, you need to make

176
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: this move before the Bills do. And maybe the Bills

177
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: do get to number two and then they're okay as well.

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: But I think that I think with Cagnet did what

179
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: Buffalo didn't, which was sees the moment there. And now

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: it leaves the Bills in a super desperate spot because they,

181
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: yes they have. Like West said, it's hard harder to

182
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: find a true difference maker later in the first round,

183
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: and you have in the Bills. They have two first

184
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: round picks, but then a j mccarrott, and which is

185
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: no one's example of a guy you want to lead

186
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: the franchise and Nate Peterman so they they are almost

187
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: in a desperate ste If I'm a Giants fan or

188
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: if I'm in the Giants organization, I'm thinking really hard

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: what i want to do here. If I'm if I

190
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: do I want to stay in the pick or move.

191
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: I feel the same way about the Colts, who now

192
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: we're in six. But if you wanna see how the

193
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: draft plays out and maybe spin that back with the

194
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Bills if they have someone they like, you could really

195
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: clean up off this pick. You've already done it. Yets

196
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: the cults traight up trade back again if someone's there

197
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: on the draft. I'm just and the culture still in

198
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: a very goods. Speller told Peter King that they would

199
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: be opened. I mean, of course you'd be open to

200
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: it. It It depends what comes your way. But that's how

201
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: you play the draft. If you're the Hey they want

202
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: to avoid free agency and they want to stockpile and

203
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: stacked one draft after the next for three years, that

204
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: that's how that's build. That's a safer and generally how

205
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: you win doesn't mean it always works. Certainly, the Browns

206
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: haven't used the picks and the Carson Wentz trade particularly well.

207
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: So it all depends on Again, I think the structure

208
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: sort of that you have in place. Do you have

209
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: an offensive philosophy that that can groom a great young

210
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: quarterback in New York that the Colts thing is safer.

211
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: I do find it interesting that I think people around

212
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: the league, and you saw in the Peter King article,

213
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: and I've heard other things. I don't know if everyone

214
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: really buys the whole Giants aren't taking a quarterback thing

215
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: at two that that that is very much up in

216
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: the air, whether they're going to take specially now, well,

217
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: why would you not trade to six if you weren't

218
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: going to take a quarterback? I mean outside of Sequon Barkley,

219
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: and if you were that fascinated with him, you can

220
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: get almost the best outside of the quarterback position player available.

221
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: It's six, right, they're gonna get They're gonna get Chubb,

222
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: or they're gonna get Barkley or there. It's a top

223
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: pick for the Colts. You have to surmise. I know

224
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: the Jets and Giants don't do business, but it would

225
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: be malpractice if Mike mcagnet didn't make that call to

226
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: the Giants. I mean it would be. It hasn't been

227
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: reported yet. It has been with the Browns, but it

228
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: would be absolutely insanely going out of your way to

229
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: do your job poorly if you didn't see if the

230
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Giants would take this offer. And they've never traded before

231
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: and they never will, right but they But of course

232
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: you would to see if the Giants to do it.

233
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: I don't, we don't know. Probably did, but I'm just

234
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: they should be fired if they's a serious reason why

235
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: this trade with the Giants would never happen, because the

236
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: Jets and Giants don't do business together. Dave get him,

237
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: and seems like of the thirty two gms, the least

238
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: likely want to care about what's on the back page

239
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: of the New York Post or any other newspaper. But

240
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: if the Jets stay at three get the quarterback of

241
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: the future, it turns out to be great. And the

242
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: Giants bypass a quarterback eli many successor don't go quarterback,

243
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna get absolutely destroyed. And even more still because

244
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: it's the Jets. So that's how the Jets can stick.

245
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I think the Giants. The Giants are boxed in, I

246
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: think in that sense with the quarterback position, because even

247
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: if Gettleman and this regime, like Sea Lion, thinks he

248
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: has a couple of years left, which the jury is

249
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: obviously out on that you can't risk. What if the

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Giants are four and six he just came back. Actually, yeah,

251
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: they just they've reached the verdict, right. What if they're

252
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: four and six on Halloween and they didn't draft the

253
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: quarterback and Sam Rosen has twenty touchdowns for the Jets

254
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: like that with a Fox analyst, Sam Rosen suddenly played

255
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: for the Debts. Um. I think that in that situation,

256
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: the Giants would get killed. And the Giants are smart organization.

257
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll ever go down that road. I

258
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: mean that Leman's played it well so far. He's got

259
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: everybody thinking he could take a quarterback or se Kwon Barkley,

260
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: and he wants to train box Cleveland into taking a

261
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: quarterback at one or risking incredible pr fallout as well,

262
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: because they can't wait till four now to see what happens. No,

263
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: because yeah, even if they wait, never could I don't

264
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: think I think they never quarterback all along. But if

265
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: they wanted to get cute and you found out someone

266
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: else really wanted to play a you know, Chub or

267
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley at two or three, you could maybe wait

268
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: till four of your quarterback. They could deal with that

269
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: luxury now because of what the Jets and I think.

270
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: I think, and this is not something that's unconsidered with

271
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: the Jets or in New York in general. I think

272
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: since the Johnson family has taken over this franchise, is

273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: they can sell this like this gets the Jets fans

274
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: excited at a point at the lowest point possible in

275
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: terms of fans, in terms of buying tickets, in terms

276
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: of excitement about the franchise, and it's like they had

277
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: to sort of do this to re engage their fan

278
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying that's a good reason to make decisions,

279
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: but I think it goes into the decisions. It's also

280
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: shows how one side of the relationship is between a

281
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: fan and a team, because as a fan, you have

282
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: no choice but to give yourself over to the team

283
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: and the guys who are stewarts. Mike mccagnet, he's the

284
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: steward of your fandom. He and Todd Bulls they're they're

285
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: charged with basically a public trust, but they're what they're

286
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: doing is saving their jobs, like all other moves are

287
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: intended to save their job, not to not to reward

288
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: your fandom. I do wonder what's what's the difference, And

289
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: there's no way to know of Woody Johnson being in

290
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: the UK, but I think that probably makes the different

291
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: there are there's Chris Johnson as his brother, it's in

292
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: charge of things, and from the reports that you hear,

293
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson has been more open, more communicative with the team.

294
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: It's been a better culture around there. Obviously it's a

295
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: short term thing with Woody in the working for for Trump,

296
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: but we'll see how it all plays out. You brought

297
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: up the fans um uh one thing on on this.

298
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: Albert Breer reported on this that wood he was he

299
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: was on board with this decision before he left, that

300
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: they had talked about this quarterback plan a year ago

301
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: and he was already on board with do whatever you

302
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: can to get it. He knows what they've been missing

303
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: for his entire tenure there, and mcagnet needs some hits.

304
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: These are his top five paid players on the team.

305
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: Account is number one, amazingly only ten million. Jermaine Johnson,

306
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: good player, Kelvin Beach and Buster Screen and Brian Winters.

307
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean those are your top five page debts. They

308
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: need to bring in big time talent. And he the quarterbacks,

309
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: the two quarterback with it's not really petty as much,

310
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: but obviously Hackenburg stick with him and deservedly so, so

311
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: he gets one more shot to get a quarterback, uh,

312
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: and make it work. And what we can say, well,

313
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: you you described you opened the show by describing yourself

314
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: as having a lost weekend that went from A to

315
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: Z with no human memory your team in the middle

316
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: of this weekend. I did it not spice it up

317
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: a little bit? You're Saturday or Sunday woke up. I

318
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: woke up to that. So that was very good and

319
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: I think it's good too. Um, we haven't heard from

320
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: a while. I wanted to see how Keith Hands has

321
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: thought about the Jets the first week of free agency

322
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: about this trade, and I asked him, I want a

323
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: report card time with Keith Hands. His name is Keith out. Well,

324
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: you go to I think the Jeffs and made a

325
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: good trade to move up in the end draft position. Uh.

326
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for Donald to be their top picks as

327
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: the best scenario, but I think Rosen would be very

328
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: good as well because he's a drop back pasture from

329
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: pro style offense. UM. I'm also happy with the fact

330
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: that they missed out on the Cousins deal. I think

331
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: that that's the basketball Cousins and the Jets and goodbye

332
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: to uh both Teddy and hacked all right, Uh, that's

333
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be missed. I think also as far

334
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: as the the move that mechanical, it was pretty good. Uh.

335
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: The signing of McGown and Bridgewater, Claire one and Avery

336
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Willenson has also been a good to pick up. So

337
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: my grade so far is a B plus, but they

338
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: need an eight plus with QB he makes this a successful.

339
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Uh season. You have to you have to remember, thank you, Dad.

340
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: You have to remember how hopeless last offseason was. So

341
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: Jet fans are pumped right now and maybe mcadney's not

342
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: the answer. Greg. I don't think any Jets fan is

343
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: all the way in on him because of what happened

344
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: with Hackenburg mostly, but I like what they've done this

345
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: past week and I'm really excited for the draft. So

346
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: they're doing their job. As an organization. At least right now,

347
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: fans have hope and they're excited for the future. I

348
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: like how Keith delivered. He knows that you you want

349
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: great to get clicks, you gotta you gotta hand out grade.

350
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: That's what the that's what the customer wants, and he's

351
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: doing it. By the way, Brand's Bills General manager Brandon

352
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: Being told Peter King he's quote not ready to move

353
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: up in the draft for a quarterback. His quote to King,

354
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: I haven't spent enough time to have an opinion about

355
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: any of them yet. Honestly, well, now he doesn't know

356
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: where to move up to. I think that it became

357
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: a lot trickier for him. That's interesting because it's such

358
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: a different It's the inverse of the Jets approach. The

359
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: Jets traded up without a specific target in mind when

360
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: they haven't had a chance to sit down and meet

361
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: with any of these guys, and the Bill's GM has

362
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: basically said, I want as much data as possible. I

363
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: want to meet with these guys. I want to know

364
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: who I'm trading up for. It's the exactly at the

365
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: combine for minutes, not like not spending a whole day

366
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: with him, putting them up on the blackboard, seeing what

367
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: makes him tick. But they've also the Jets have been

368
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: scouting these quarterbacks for two years, and I I they

369
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: have to feel confident with what they're gonna get. Organizationally,

370
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: not just mcagnet, but the scouts and everyone else have

371
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: been sent out to track every one of these players

372
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: moves for seven hundred days. Going back to that birth

373
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: rear piece. Plan A was actually to draft a quarterback high,

374
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: assuming would be a night or seventeen would be a nightmare.

375
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: Last season, then the Cousins they went to the Cousins race.

376
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: That didn't work out. So they're back to the Plan A,

377
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: which was planed B or Plan B which was playing today,

378
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be okay. I think that's right, that's right.

379
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: It just it shows you how costly those winds of

380
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: brutal and like. For instance, the Bills should have lost

381
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: that that game in the snow against the Colts and

382
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: then the Colts have another win. I don't know what

383
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: the tie breaker would have been, but they would have

384
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: had the same record as the Jets. Who knows. You

385
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: might have just said, you might have just been in

386
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: the number three spot if that game. There's just so

387
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: many crazy factors, and now the Colts get, you know,

388
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: four second round picks out of it because because you know,

389
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: Chuck Pogano decided not to get closer for an Adam

390
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: in military field goal. It's just so strange. Dan, we

391
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: spoke Friday about you're saying that you like Lombardi's quote

392
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: about football being the perfect team sport except for the

393
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: imbalance at the quarterback is too important. And that goes

394
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: hand in hand with another one of my favorite quotes

395
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: from Thomas Dimitrof. When you don't have a QB, the

396
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: search for one consumes you. But my new favorite to

397
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: describe the value of a quarterback in the NFL David

398
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Letterman at the Peyton Manning ceremony when he said, this

399
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: guy changed the skyline of the city. This is the

400
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: goal of every NFL team to have a quarterback in

401
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: place for two decades. That makes you one of the

402
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: eight or ten franchises who are relevant to ESPN, NFL Network,

403
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: and everyone else who covers football because two thirds of

404
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: the league. Here's a dirty little secret doesn't get reported on,

405
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: and it is irrelevant to most of the major networks.

406
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: Most of the most of the media. You do not

407
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: want to be on the Bills, Jets and Brown's hamster

408
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: wheel of irrelevance for two decades. You want the quarterback

409
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: who changes skylines, gets buildings built, make sure you sell

410
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: out every game like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and

411
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: changes the skyline. That's the goal and that's what the

412
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Jets are trying to do. And if Peyton Manning doesn't

413
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: have that one lost season due to the neck injury

414
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: where the Cults conveniently out of nowhere go what one

415
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: in fifteen, they get Andrew Luck, then the Colts are

416
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: one of these teams that couldn't have made this deal.

417
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: The only reason that we can praise Chris Ballard, and

418
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: he should deserve He deserves praise. But you're you. You're

419
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: able to make this move because assuming Andrew Luck doesn't

420
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: have more health issues, you've got that guy and so

421
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: you can accrue draft picks and build around it. We haven't.

422
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: It's randomness that goes into it. Tom Brady lasting until

423
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: pick one, randomness. We we haven't. We hadn't heard from

424
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: Keith Handerson, while how about how about Chris Ballard? I'd

425
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: like to hear from him. What's your favorite type of frog?

426
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: He still I mean, he doesn't have a lot of

427
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: different things to say, but it's always interesting his questioning anyway. UM,

428
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: so that's what's going on. So is it possible? Is

429
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: it really possible, by the way, that the first five

430
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: quarterback draft picks would be quarterbacks? That's not possible. I

431
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: think it's ever happened Cleveland. Do you won't have to

432
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: trade out because Cleveland's got the fourth pick, So four

433
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: of the top five because you go to Denver. Three. Yes,

434
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: there have been three. There have been three. I don't

435
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: think there's ever been top four. I don't when was

436
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: the last. Hit me with an absolutely, Oh no, I

437
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: think there's been. There's been three. I've spent a couple

438
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: of times when they were top three. When you hit

439
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: somebody that absolutely, I want the facts. No, I thought

440
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: you asked if the top three could be no quarterbacks

441
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: this time, and that's what I would be. It's an

442
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: interesting scenario. I haven't I haven't heard anyone. No Pine.

443
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: Could it be all four, you know with the Browns

444
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: and so it would be Donald Rosen, Allen Mayfield and

445
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: who would be the fifth? Well? F R. Jackson could

446
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: come off at some point after that, because listen to

447
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: the other player in this if they if they have

448
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: any way to do it. I think Miami realizes, as

449
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: they should have a month ago. They're not going to

450
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: get Biger Mayfield or any of these guys they like

451
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: at eleven. They're gonna have to try to win. You

452
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: got three a f C East teams trying to get

453
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: into the top five. For it's also such an inexact science.

454
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks was talking last week. Some teams have Mason

455
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: Rudolph ranked first or second, second or third, and I

456
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: don't think it's like some crazy like they're just out

457
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: on a crazy ledger. They're like, no, we like him

458
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: about third for for those reasons. And so that makes

459
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: me think, well, he's getting taken in the first round,

460
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: and maybe he's going to be a guy that Arizona

461
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: and Miami looks at. I don't know if those are

462
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: those teams that like him. I wonder how many qbs

463
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: go in the first round. I mean Baltimore. Baltimore has

464
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: been talked about as a sneak team to grab a

465
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: quarterback there at their one pick after the after the

466
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals FIFTI Cardinals US Dolphins in addition to all the

467
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: teams we've been talking about. Patriots probably not in the

468
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: first round, but nothing would shock me with them. The

469
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: crazy thing is because the quarterback absence is right now

470
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: about five or six quarterbacks around the league. And if

471
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: if this will not happen, you know that two of

472
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: these guys will work out, the rest will completely ask

473
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: the bed and it will be an utter nightmare for

474
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: three franchises. But if it ever, if it ever did

475
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: work out, and this was the draft that for a

476
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: certain amount of time brought us to the point where

477
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: we finally in our lifetime have thirty two functioning, enjoyable

478
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: starting It won't up and but one of these big

479
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: smith another one's gonna be k McNown doubt it could

480
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: be two thousand four with three either hall of fame

481
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: or borderline hall of fame quarterback would change the differences.

482
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: Back in two thousand four, people weren't going as crazy,

483
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: and guys like Ben Roethlisberger could slip to eleven, or

484
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: a team like the Chargers continently con trade down when

485
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: guys like Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson slipped. That's fair. Yep.

486
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to put them right there, right there.

487
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: One Jets Brown's AFC title game sound good. I mean

488
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: it sounds great. As long as my team wins. It

489
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: could be even more painful to lose to the Jets.

490
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: And after They'll take a lot now, because then I'll

491
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: know the quarterback is good. That last time they played

492
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, it was one of the longest games

493
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: in NFL history. Not possible with ten minute overtime. I

494
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: would guarantee doubling. Uh the combined Jets and Brown Super

495
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances. There was a game like that, right, oh, Gret, Okay, okay,

496
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: all right, let's get into the rest of the news

497
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: around the league, and we'll start with Yes, the honey Badger,

498
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: he finds work. It happened on Friday after we UH

499
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: finished our show, UH, the Houston Texans signed the former

500
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals defensive back UH Tyrone Matthew. Uh. The deal is

501
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: for one year and seven million. According to Tom Palcero,

502
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: who had the report for us UH, the deal was

503
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: official on Monday. West. I am really surprised that he

504
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: essentially signed for approved deal, were you, Yeah. I think

505
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: part of that's the safety market, which has been non existent. UM.

506
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: I think he was the first big name at all

507
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: the safeties to sign. There's been no Earl Thomas trade um.

508
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: I think that was a big part of it, and

509
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: probably teams wondering, is Tyrone Matthew ever gonna be two

510
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen all pro Tyron Matthew Again? He wasn't quite

511
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: that even at the end of last year. But this

512
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: Texans defense is variant freaking because they have so many

513
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: question marks. He's one of them. Will J. J. Watt

514
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: ever be the same player? Will Whitney Merciless come back

515
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: to what he was? Can there are other additions really

516
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: bolster a secondary that needed it last year. They seem

517
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: like a fascinating defense. If half of those answers are no,

518
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: they're in big trouble. But they were not a good

519
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: secondary last At the upside with Clowney Merciless wat Honey Badger,

520
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty exciting, especially especially the pass rushers and Matthews

521
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: at a different level. I was. I was really surprised,

522
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: and this maybe is a case where we allowed, you know,

523
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: a player that we really love watching play. We certainly

524
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: love his personality, color, how we thought his market was

525
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna be. Although I don't think we were the only ones,

526
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: because that was surprising. I think his judging by his words,

527
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: his agent was expecting something better. But I did ask

528
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: around a little bit about this one, and I didn't think.

529
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: I guess there wasn't what you said in terms of

530
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: the health, whether he's ever gonna be all the way

531
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: back physically. And I think the question with him was

532
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: he has to prove that he can cover wide receivers

533
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: out of the slot. I think there's some question whether

534
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: he really is a cover guy, and if he's not,

535
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: then what is. He's sort of a box safety, So

536
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: I think there's some question if he can show that

537
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: he can cover guys one on one in human he

538
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: might be resigning in Houston for a lot of money.

539
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean, free safeties cover wide receivers more now, and

540
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: they get the ones that get big contracts. They're usually

541
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: covering running backs and tight ends out of the back field.

542
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: I mean they can do they can do zone. You know,

543
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: he might be more of his own guy either way.

544
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: I think there was question obviously that that he could

545
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: get back to the level he was at, and he'll

546
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: have a chance to prove it. I mean Don Terry

547
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: po and Alison Dreffrey are great examples of guys who

548
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: settled for prove it deals last year and ended up

549
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: getting paid. This stat from Bill Barnwell of ESPN that

550
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: speaks to the statistical drop of Honey Badger Uh. He

551
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: had uh five interceptions, eleven tackles for a loss, knocked

552
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: away seventeen passes in fourteen games before suffering that second

553
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: tour in a c L in three years in the

554
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: twenty six games and two in sixteen seventeen two interceptions,

555
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: nine tackles for lost eight past breakup. So maybe not

556
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: as productive a guy, and they and a team like

557
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: the Texans was smart to be able to um sign

558
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: a guy that has a chance and a chip on

559
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: the shoulder to get back to that level, or maybe

560
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't. I guess if you're the Texans, you wish

561
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,239
Speaker 1: you had him for more than one year because if

562
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: he's if he's a monster again this year, then he

563
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: hits the open water and you do what Jeffrey. You

564
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: do what Jeffrey did with the Eagles, I think showed

565
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: a nice blueprint of what to do with some of

566
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: these high risk guys high reward Jeffrey and Timmy journ

567
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: again were both brought in on one with one year deals.

568
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: One was a free agent, one was a trade, and

569
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: by late in the season they were like, these are

570
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: our guys and you can get those long term deals

571
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: done during the season. Yeah, Matthew is gonna look at

572
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: him and say, this is the team that took a

573
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: shot on me. I don't know how. I don't know

574
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: who else try to recruit him, but JJ Watt was

575
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: a huge reason that he went there. Moving on Kyle Fuller,

576
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: He's staying with the Bears, but another team made a play.

577
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers had signed Fuller, the cornerback, to

578
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: a offer sheet UH, and Chicago quickly matched it. So

579
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: the deal is fifty six million over four years, eighteen

580
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: million and guarantees. Rap sheet reported, Um, Greg, can you

581
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of make sense of this to me? I'm just

582
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: a little confused about the way they play this, UH Packers,

583
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: the the Bears basically let another team negotiate for them

584
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: and then immediately matched the deal, And what was what

585
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: was behind all this. I'm a little confused to of

586
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: the reaction to it, which has been suspiciously similar across

587
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: the outlets, as if they're getting talking points from someone

588
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: inside the Bears building. Ultimately, yeah, the Bears can argue that, Hey,

589
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: the Packers kind of negotiated for us. It was tough

590
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: to get a deal done. We didn't want to, you know,

591
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: set his number really high by giving him the franchise tag.

592
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: I still look at it like you're paying Kyle Fuller

593
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: as much money in the next two years as almost

594
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: any cornerback in football. A that's questionable and be if

595
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: you had been a little more aggressive to begin with,

596
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: certainly if you gave him the fifth year option. I

597
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: understand the reasons they didn't do it, but I would

598
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: have rather kept him on the franchise tag than than

599
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: do this deal, because they basically gave him a two year,

600
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine and a half million dollar deal, and they

601
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: had that. They had the Packers negotiate for him, but

602
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: I think they could have had them for lass isn't start.

603
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: If you start with the franchise tag number of fifteen million,

604
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: then this deal goes even higher. Maybe, I mean that's

605
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: they want him their long term, but I I think

606
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: that they wanted to find out what his market was.

607
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: They honestly didn't know what his market was. And part

608
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: of it is he wanted to find out maybe what

609
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: his market was too, instead of just accepting a deal

610
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: before going to free agency, and he found out. It

611
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: makes sense that they matched it right away. Why let

612
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: a good player go away? To me, the confusing part

613
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: was why did the Packers make it so easy to

614
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: match that? Did they really think the Bears weren't going

615
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: to match that? Maybe they're just getting them to pay it.

616
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean, why not do it? You know what, It

617
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt. It's like ask and it's like asking for

618
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: a raise. I think it's a reason you don't see

619
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: the transition tag used very often at all because the

620
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: reactions by everyone are kind of just like, excuse me.

621
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: It is crazy though. And in the fifth year option thing,

622
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: I I really think if you're keeping a player on

623
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: your roster, give him the fifth year option. There there

624
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: is so little downside. Kyle Fuller would be on their

625
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: team for I think a third as much this season

626
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: as he will wind up being. I think he's getting

627
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two million dollars this year. Now, speaking

628
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: of proven deal, Sheldon Richardson has found a home. It

629
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: is with the star studded Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota announced Friday,

630
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: that the former Seahawks and Jets defensive lineman Uh signed

631
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: a one year, eight million dollar packed worth up to

632
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: eleven million in incentives Uh to join a stack defense

633
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: defense in Minnesota. Mark the rich get Richer and Richardson,

634
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: who's still just twenty seven years old, gets a chance

635
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: to really re establish his value. Uh. A great defense

636
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: from a Viking standpoint, reminds me a little bit with

637
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks up until before this offseason, where they were

638
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: adding these big name defenders to what they thought was

639
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: a team still in its super Bowl window and keep

640
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: adding strength on strength the Viking. The Vikings right now

641
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: have Sheldon Richardson and Lindvald Joseph a tackle and Everson

642
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: Griffin and Danielle Hunter, and that is an incredible defensive

643
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: line if they stay healthy, and they're basically saying our

644
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl window is wide open, We're gonna keep adding

645
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: these guys and they in the one thing for all

646
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback chatter Mike Zimmer and Rick fieldmand did talk about,

647
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: we cannot lose what is the heart of our team,

648
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: which is our defense. We have to keep these guys

649
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: around for the extent of this run. Um. I think

650
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: the the NFL said a message to Richardson too, which

651
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: is like, we don't trust you. Yeah, so because he

652
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: is such a talented guy. I mean I saw it

653
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan when he was at his peak

654
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: and around two thousand four two fifteen before he started

655
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: getting into trouble. The guy was a terror on defenses.

656
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: But people don't want to give him a long term

657
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: deal because there's been too many red flags. So this

658
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: is what he's gotta live with. He kind of paid

659
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: for that, and if he can't succeed, it's a great

660
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: position to look great because if you can't succeed on

661
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: that defensive line, and you're gonna be on television national

662
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: television pretty much every other week and a lot of

663
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: prime time games, and you can be part of a

664
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: quote unquote winning culture that goes to the playoffs and

665
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: like all that stuff I think helps your bottom line.

666
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: As as Malcolm Butler and Nate Solder. I mean, if

667
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: he if he can't get it done there, he's not

668
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna get it done. Would stick to the speed limit

669
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: please in Minnesota on the streets in Minnesota, spart It's why,

670
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: and Dominicans should sign with the Rams. Just just go

671
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: to go to the Rams, play next to Aaron Donald,

672
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: you be on TV every week, and you can go

673
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: back into free agency next year to sign a one

674
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: year deal and wreck wreck. The league can't wait for

675
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: an offseason full of who has the best defensive line

676
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: in football? With Michael Bennett saying things like, I think

677
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: we can have the greatest defensive line in the history

678
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: of the NFL. They're pretty good, comparing it to the

679
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, as if he learned nothing from Vince Young. Um,

680
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson. We were just in Minnesota, so we can

681
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: and give you some tips how to stay out of

682
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: trouble but still have fun. I think it begins and

683
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: ends with the t j I Fridays. Just lockdown, get

684
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: a nice coke and some hall openion poppers. Great. Wait

685
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: stuff there? Who's the waiter again that we love? That

686
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: was his name? Uh? What was his name? Damn? It

687
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: was something unique. I've got a guy. I've got two

688
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: three more words for it for him. Just as a recommendation,

689
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: long sleeve undershirts, it's time makes a big time different.

690
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: How about long john underpants? It called up there? Moving on,

691
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Legarry speaking of cold locations. Uh, he signs with the

692
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions like that. Everybody knows him as just one

693
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: the former Eagles running back, the former Patriots running back.

694
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: He is on a two season Super Bowl championship streak,

695
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: and now he goes to a team that's never even

696
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: went to the super Bowl. But anyway, Blunt un it's

697
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: with Matt Patricia, who of course was with New England

698
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: for the last several years. But but Greg Rosenthal, Uh,

699
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: there's a lot of buzz percolating that the Lions are

700
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: going to add someone else to go with Lagary as

701
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: soon as the draft. Well, that shows there's not a

702
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: lot of faith in amer Abdullah who's there. I was interested,

703
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: He got a lot of he got a lot of runs,

704
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: did any had his chance to himself right, and the

705
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: regime still likes him. I don't know where this buzz

706
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: is coming from about the draft because everything they've said,

707
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: Amer Abdula is still in our plans. I I was

708
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: really intrigued by Blunt saying, Uh, he had a really

709
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: strong bond with Matt Patricia. Any time I ever saw him,

710
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm quoting um now any part of the building, whatever

711
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: the circumstances, it was always laughs and jokes, we got

712
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: really close to get serious. I just like this idea

713
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: of that matt Patricia is sort of this uh man

714
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: about town that like everyone loves, and it was it

715
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: was just Belichick kind of constraining him publicly, and now

716
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: we're learning that he's the life of the party. I

717
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: think we act like the offense and defense in these buildings.

718
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: Never you know, rattenized or see each other. These guys

719
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: are locked down in the billion twenty four hours a

720
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: day teams. You remember Collisional Low Crossers that showed how

721
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: separated those two worlds can be. But maybe Mattie Patricia

722
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: is just one of his exceptions that everybody you know,

723
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: he right, He lights up a room, Maddie. This is

724
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: a position they've needed for a long time, a power

725
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: back in Detroit. But I'm a little interested to see

726
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: how it works out, because these backfields where they have

727
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: the power guy and the passing down guy often don't

728
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: work out because there's so much of a tell about

729
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: who's coming into the game what you're gonna do. The

730
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: Saints have guys like Ingram and Kamara who can do both.

731
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: One of them is a passing down guy who runs well,

732
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: and the others, a running down guy who catches well.

733
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: Blunt is one of the least effective receiving backs in

734
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. And who's the theo Rittic is one of

735
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: the least effective running running backs in the NFL. So

736
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: it's a tell. And that's why they have to keep

737
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: a mirrorup Doula because he can do both. Just when

738
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: you thought it was safe to go back in the water,

739
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: the trade tsunami strikes once more. Oh my goodness, or

740
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: even on land, it's not even safe there. Yeah. Yeah,

741
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: the nature of the tsunami is it's attacking the land

742
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: from the sea. But obviously being if you're looking to

743
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: just you know, hang out in the water, go to

744
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: the sixth floor of your local tall building. Yeah. The

745
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: Patriots acquired kick returner slash wide receiver Cordurel Patterson as

746
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: well as a sixth round pick in this year's draft

747
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: from the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a fifth round pick.

748
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Uh this season and uh, greg, this is a move

749
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: for the Pats that obviously they had a hole after

750
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis left for Tennessee and their kick return game.

751
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: I would need to be convinced that he's Cordell Patterson

752
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be a part of their offense, but who knows. No,

753
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he will. I mean, just looking at Edelman,

754
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: Hogan Cooks, Malcolm Mitchell, Kenny Britton theory. I mean, he's

755
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: at best fifth or six, but they I like that

756
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: the Patriots put such an extreme value on special teams.

757
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: Is kind of part of their secret sauce that they

758
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: invest more in special teams than just about any team

759
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: in the league. And it shows up every year. They're

760
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: always one of the top six or seven special They're

761
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: gonna lose your boy, Matthew Slater, it looks like that.

762
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: I thought the timing was interesting because cor Darryl isn't

763
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: just a return or. He's also a gunner. Yeah, he's

764
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: really good at point there. There's a pretty strong argument

765
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: that we made he's the best special teams player in

766
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: the NFL. So why did the Raiders give up? Because

767
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: they thought he's he's a terrible wide receiver and he

768
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: is apparently, and I think that was what they were focused.

769
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: John Cruden determined to go five and eleven aotball and

770
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: other Raiders news Beast mode is gonna be sticking around

771
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: it looks like because he will get that one million

772
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: dollar roster bonus um. According to rap Sheet, he's scheduled

773
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: to make about six million in two thousand and eighteen.

774
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: So Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin Mark Sessler will be

775
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: the two lead guys. It looks like, uh, do you

776
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: like that pairing? I mean, they've got a deep roster

777
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: because DeAndre Washington, you got jal and Richard as well.

778
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I was not huge on Marshawn Lynch last year.

779
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: I thought he played better than I thought he would.

780
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: I think it depends completely which Doug Martin you get.

781
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: I I I'm kind of surprised they're keeping Lynch. I Greg,

782
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: I believe you had a sandwich on this and gone.

783
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I took you up on that.

784
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I did for just for the game itself. But Friday,

785
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't. It's it's an interesting move.

786
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'd want Lynch is my starting

787
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: guy into the bust is the way I would I

788
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: would look at their backfield if I'm a fan of

789
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: another a f C West team, I like everything I'm

790
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: here and coming out of Oakland I agree. Do you

791
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: think he was one of the best running backs in

792
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: the league in the last To me, it was solid.

793
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: Last is building a Jeff Fisher team so that I

794
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: would love for an a f if I'm a Church

795
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'm thrilled with this. Your Chiefs fan watching that

796
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs reload have a whole different type of quarterback, and

797
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: you're looking at the Raiders insane, and I'm watching the

798
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: way Andy Reid runs that offense going up against philosophy

799
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: with John Gruden, and I'm happy with Andy Reid. I'm

800
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: also seeing the Broncos going this way down they are

801
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: The Chargers are always going to be the Chargers that

802
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: everybody gets excited to win seven to nine games. Probably,

803
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a path of the Raiders to

804
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: be fighting in that an f C West for that's

805
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: the Chargers division to lose. They have the best roster

806
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: in that division. Here we go again and at the year,

807
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: I'll put my money down on him again. I'll do

808
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: it again to believe in talent over randomness. If you

809
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: just stick with the same teams the year after your year,

810
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: then you end up being right the Eagles. With the

811
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: Eagles finally came around for you. Uh and another Patriots moves.

812
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: They signed Adrian Clayborne two year, twelve million dollars. Uh,

813
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: so he gives them another guy on the edge. They

814
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: also signed a running back. Uh oh, this is gonna

815
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: work out for annoying Jeremy Hill all over. Once upon

816
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: a time where one of the young power backs in

817
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: the league everybody was excited about. And ever since that

818
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: fumble in the playoff game against the Steelers, it seemed

819
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: like his career went in the tank the last two years.

820
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 1: And now he gets a chance at redemption in Bill

821
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: Belichick's offense. That's Cincinnate to New England running back pipeline.

822
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: You've got Rex burkhead, Corey Dylan, now you got Jeremy Hill.

823
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: The Bengals gotten out of that pipeline. Anything going Jarvis

824
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: green ellis they got bent tated Tate. I don't think

825
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: the pipelines should work properly. It's supposed to be like

826
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: both ways. Things should be coming in a positive way

827
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: to the sewage just floated down from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati

828
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: on the Ohio River, and the Bengals would sign everyone

829
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: cut by the Steelers. This this is the part of

830
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: free agency. Lewis Riddick for what it's worth, kind of

831
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: a Belichick disciple put it out on Twitter today that like,

832
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: this is the key part of free agency. This is

833
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: when the best signings happened. I don't know if that's

834
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: that might be over stating a little bit, but we

835
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: do get caught up in many sounds smart, We do

836
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: get caught up in like really reacting after a couple

837
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: of days, and now the Patriots and many other teams

838
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: are gonna keep filling in their rosters. And it's like,

839
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: at this point, one of the Patriots really lost Nate

840
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: Solder to me is a huge loss, uh, And you

841
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to fix that, and they'll

842
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: probably resign one of their guys like le Adrian Waddle.

843
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: But that's that's not necessarily a total. But after that,

844
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, you're filling in your roster with

845
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: some guys and you can totally see them making hill

846
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: work in Clayborne at least providing pretty cheap, solid defensive

847
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: ends snaps like he did a year ago. And it's like, Okay,

848
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm always interested in who, especially on offense for me,

849
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: who they decide to zero in on that other teams

850
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: did not see. Now, Jeremy Hill, I think he kind

851
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: of just ran. The team ran out of patience with him.

852
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: But this is the team that turned Rex burke Head

853
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: into a ten times better player than he was. Chris

854
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: Hogan with the Bills, I mean they are they're playing

855
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: these teams scouting, okay, but that's because they have five

856
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: other running backs that work. But yeah, no, your point,

857
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Chris Hogan, come on, Buil just brought up.

858
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that the last three years.

859
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: Now on the offseason, the Patriots have made a second

860
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 1: tier pick up that everybody's like, oh, that's gonna work,

861
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: Hogan Birkehead. Although Burkehead wasn't like a home run left

862
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: he looked about offense. He blew his knee and you

863
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: can't tell what running backs are gonna do and who's

864
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: in there. Burkhead's perfect for that. Uh. And other news,

865
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are having a nice little couple

866
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. I think Vinny Curry agrees to a three

867
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: or twenty three million dollar deal with the Bucks. He

868
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: was released by the Eagles. But the pipeline told us

869
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: that the pipeline could be a lot of different things.

870
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: We were told via the pipeline that that was not

871
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: for performance reasons. The Eagles just had salary capishes, so

872
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: Curry had to go. The Bucks paid like they wanted

873
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: a guy that or they believe there's this guy that

874
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: could make a real impact. You like this move, West,

875
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: I do. I kind of like what the Bucks are

876
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: doing so far. Uh Curry, I think is an upgrade

877
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: on a declining agen Robert Airs, and they desperately needed all.

878
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: I thought offensive line was their biggest need. Secondary probably too,

879
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: but Ryan Jensen helps him put Ali Moore Pett back

880
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: at guard. Still have an issue at left tackle, but

881
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: I think Jamis Winson is going to be running out

882
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: of excuses soon. I'd wear I'd be wary of almost

883
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: any offensive line signing this offseason because history tells us

884
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: half of them are gonna be bussed. I mean, these

885
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys I put. I kind of

886
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: put them as a group in in a in a

887
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: Worse Contracts of Free Agency column. And Ryan Jensen, who

888
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 1: started sixteen, played sixteen games at center in his life.

889
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: It was a backup for five seasons basically in Baltimore.

890
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: Is now the highest paid center in the league. Justin

891
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: Pew and Weston had a vigorous market. People loved him.

892
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: He had a great year. But I'm just saying a

893
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: guy that the the Ravens literally never trusted to be

894
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: a starter, including last season, until injuries started and he

895
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: played great. Maybe it'll work out. I have none of

896
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: us really know. Justin Pugh and Weston Richberg, both coming

897
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: off serious injury concerns, got paid full price. Your guy

898
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: Hubbard on Cleveland's like, if you needed an offensive lineman,

899
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: you just had to pay them like stars. Now, my guy,

900
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: I would ay that. I mean, Peter King, Well, you're right,

901
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: because I order all the jerseys because they cost about

902
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty dollars each and I'm just flushed

903
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: with cash. But like the Jensen got as many calls

904
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: as Kirk Cousins from the according to his agent early on.

905
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: So and the one thing about the Bucks, if they

906
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: get good, I need you. If we're gonna have additional games,

907
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: you must change the uniforms immediately. I cannot watch an

908
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: extra one, two or three games of the boxing these outfits.

909
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: I think there's some type of amount of time they

910
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: must stick with. You know, it's five years, and that's

911
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: five years too many with these outfits. Stick it out,

912
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: Stick it out, guys hanging there by the way, nice use.

913
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: They're a vigorous, vigorous market, usually vigorous lover. It's one

914
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: of those words that connects with another one. I feel

915
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: like I've heard Damn Check say that about himself. Yes,

916
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: he calls himself a vigorous lover. Waiting for a second

917
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: or a third source on that um On Check, he's

918
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: acting as his own source. That's that's Orlando. Scander spent

919
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: nine season with the Dallas Cowboys. He stays in the

920
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: NFC East and lands a two year deal worth up

921
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: to ten million with the Washington Football Club. Mark Sessler,

922
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: excuse me, Oh, you wrote the post, don't it to you?

923
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I I guess they needed they needed cornerbacks.

924
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: Breland goes to market, Kendall went to market. I mean,

925
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: you have to you. He'll step in and play the slot.

926
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: But he's he's not young. And what's going on with

927
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: another failed physical scenario failed in Dominican Republic? All right,

928
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: did that happen after our last podcast? I think it happened.

929
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: Now the details came into details that I feel like

930
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get a deal for that guy. Well, let's

931
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: see how bad is the cut? If I need more details,

932
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: it required more than a band aid. That's like heart

933
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: that's heartbreaking luck. I don't know, Beshad Brelan, but to

934
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: think that like you might have one big pay day

935
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: in your in your entire life, I mean in terms

936
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: of just like all focused on this one time and

937
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: he cuts his foot, also baring it being a why

938
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't the team say, we know this cut's going to

939
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: be fine, like four four weeks from now. From counterpoint,

940
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: Greg wear a pair of shoes. Oh maybe it's the

941
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: thing that he's not the most intelligent vacation er. I

942
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: think he was wearing those gloves for your feet. I'm saying,

943
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: if I was about to make like thirty million dollars

944
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: whatever his contract was, I don't like to go anywhere anyway.

945
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: But put me in the bubble man. Yeah, I know

946
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: you're right, and give me take the vacation after the

947
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: season should end and you should just stay in one

948
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: room until you start even allowed in the dance philosophy,

949
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: I'll vacation outside of the United States when I'm dead. Uh.

950
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: And finally, in the News a UH tweet speaking of

951
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: soon to be dead Levy on Bell. The Steelers UH

952
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: star running back tweeted this out to his followers on Saturday.

953
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: Should I get a pet alligator or should I get piranhas?

954
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: Which would be more lit? Boy Mark, We'll start with you.

955
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: Let's give him honest advice here. Um, I would go

956
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: piranhas because for me, you can it's a dangerous animal.

957
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm a bit more lit. Give me a break, but

958
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: like you can keep it kind of cage. We're just

959
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: trying to help level. I'd go I'd go paranhas because

960
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a flashy, attractive item. When you have

961
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: like people over to the house, they can stand around

962
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: and look at the fish tank alligator, you gotta track

963
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: where that. Maybe you were comfortable with the slang, but

964
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: you're hitting out exactly what he's asking. What would be more?

965
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: I think that would be That would be That's what

966
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you'd be people come over and look at

967
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: piranhas in like an awesome fish tank. I think that's

968
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: a sort of a Jimmy Johnson type thing. I'd be

969
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: interested to dive deeper into the connection between professional athletes

970
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: and aggressive pet because it takes an aggressiveness sometimes to

971
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: excel in a sport like football. But like you see

972
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: so many athletes, if you're getting a dog, they're getting

973
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: a rot isiler or a pit bull. Like you don't

974
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: see him ever. Getting a poodle sounds like a long form.

975
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if our features editor Ali bon purist

976
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: to listen to the show, but I think this this

977
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: has a West long form. I mean, least welcome it's

978
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: time West and uh. The first reply, by the way,

979
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: to this tweet is from some dude named Isaiah bro

980
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: Please don't get eight, we need you. And then Cole Right,

981
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: our own Cole Right. He just said eight man like

982
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: the number eight or eight he spelled a t uh,

983
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: and Cole Wright chimes in alligator man, beside, take to

984
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: take cool big on the alligator. Um, you know, whatever

985
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: happened to cats, that'd be pretty lit? Just get a

986
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: cat safer attempted at this past season did not go well.

987
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: Cats not lit. Though far from litz, I would say

988
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: piranha is to be safe. You don't you know what

989
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: is the upside of having an I just like an alligators,

990
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: either one of them upside to paranhas. I think right,

991
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: And if you have a badass tank like in your

992
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: in your foyer, great talking point every two anyone whoever

993
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: walks in your home alligator, it's like, oh, suddenly it's

994
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: not in its like little cage by someone's bed. Where

995
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: is it? We're screwed. Your whole day, your whole spind

996
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: your hold. You get like it's a talking point. Yeah,

997
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: you walk in, whoa these these piranhas And then he's

998
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: like yeah, man, like I always connected with piranhas as

999
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: a pack. And they attack and they're fearsome. And then

1000
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I get this guy. But if you

1001
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: got an alligator that you have to hit, hide it

1002
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: in like a back shed in your garage or back

1003
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: it's bigger and it just ate your lip. Cat cats

1004
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: aren't with all Right, that's it for today's show. We
