1
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Why Eagles Fly has been replaced by Ride Eagles Ride.

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles had their Super Bowl victory parade today.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: It involved babies. There were a lot of beers being thrown.

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: There were some curses at the stands with Cherrelle Parker,

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: the mayor of brun I don't know. Come in and

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: find out. We'll get to a lot of that. Meanwhile,

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: we will dig in on free agency, hit the free

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: agency focus with our good friend Bridget Condon. I know

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: it seems early. The super Bowl just happened yesterday. It's

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: not that early. Free agency is coming. We want to

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: make sure you are ready. And then is there a

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: new number one for our good friend Adam Rank He

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: of course breaks down his quarterback rankings the post super Bowl. Addition,

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Patrickhomes struggle a little bit. Is he still number one?

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Way to find out? Welcome inside with the insiders or

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: should I say insider?

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: It's only wanted me today.

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Everyone else has gone on vacation, which.

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: I will be there very soon, but not yet.

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: Also joined by my good friend Steve Weisch kind enough

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: to hang out with us today.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: Steve, you'll look great. Welcome inside with us. I appreciate you.

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: Let me just kind of hang around and be a

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: fringe benefit right now. Ian And by the way, the

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: way you describe that Eagles parade, that's exactly how they

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: get down in.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: The il adelf I was it was something.

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: It was something, So uh, let's get to it, because

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear this was the biggest thing

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: happening today. The crowds were insane gentlemen. Andrew Howie Roseman

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: got hit in the head with a beer and wore it,

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: creating a legendary moment the kind you could really only

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: dream of in cad Fake Sae Kwon Barkley went into

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: the crowd and grabbed a baby. Post your picture. There

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: was a ball boy being hoisted onto shoulders. Anyway, hear

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: some of the highlights for some incredibly memorable speeches from

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles.

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: I bleed for.

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: This city, Go Eagles.

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: I told myself that when I got drafted then I

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: wouldn't come to the Rocky Steps until I won a championship.

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: And now we're here, our football team.

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: Man, we couldn't do it without you, guys. We just

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: want to tell you, man, we love you, and we

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: support y'all. We thank y'all so much. Man, I got

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: about that. I said I was a dealer. I said,

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: all I care about the stats. You're gonna get all

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: those things wrong about me, but one thing you can

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: get right.

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 5: I'm not wrong for speechies, but I know how to sing,

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna need some help. I want to sing

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: the songs that everyone here shouldn't. Kind of sounds like this,

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 5: we are check yes, my friend there, we got.

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 6: To come off. We keep on foot here, we are

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 6: check yes, we.

56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: Ch no.

57
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 7: Kill us, we.

58
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Yes, come off Philly.

59
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 6: Go bads.

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: You know that was a cool shot, But Jordan, my

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: lone of actually being able to sing makes that hit

62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: a little different. It was more like, you know, Freddie

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Mercury had live aid vibes as opposed to like just

64
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: some guy out there with a microphone.

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: Uh, Steve never heard him on the Christmas album. He

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: was the guy on the Christmas album. I love how

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: it's the Eagles offers of lineman who take over these raids.

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: By the way, Ian dude, the Eagles, did you watch

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl?

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: The egos offensive lineman takeover everything, literally everything, and look,

71
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: those guys are going to be back, right. I mean,

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: I would say basically the entire Philadelphia Eagles offensive line

73
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: is going to be back. But they start to get

74
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: to a point now where we wonder, right, because you know,

75
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: the egos have been I would say, except for last year,

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: pretty consistently good. Over the last several years, they've built

77
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: a monster. They're tough and they're physical, and they are

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: now getting to the point, Steve, where some of the

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: guys whose contracts are up and some of the guys

80
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: whose contracts are not yet up, we're gonna want to

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: get paid. Like Milan Williams, big time free agent would

82
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: be one. Zach Bond came to Philly and kind of

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: approve it deal and proved it in your mind, where

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: do the Eagles stand as a team that can replicate

85
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: this next year and kind of give this some staying power.

86
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the main thing you said, Ian is

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: the offensive line is staying healthy. The majority of their

88
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: team stayed healthy, especially down the stretch, and we often

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: say the Super Bowl victors tend to be the healthiest team.

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: So if they keep that offensive line intact, Remember this

91
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: was Cam Jurgen's first year as a full time starter

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: at center. He's only going to get better, right, sa

93
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: Kwon Barkley has got that Convoy to block for him.

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: We know they've got young receivers and AJ Brown, Devonte Smith.

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: They've got younger talent offensively and defensively. Zach Bond resign him.

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: He's somebody that Vic Fangio found to be a star.

97
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: The big question is he's not a high volume sack guy.

98
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: He's not necessarily a pass rusher. But he fits into

99
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: what they do defensively, so we'll see what his contract

100
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: numbers would look like in terms of how he fits

101
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: that scheme or others elsewhere. Again, he's not a pass rusher,

102
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: so I don't know how many other teams are going

103
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 3: to say, well, he's a great player, but he's not

104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: someone who affects the quarterback. I disagree, because he's very

105
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 3: good in every other asset. Some of the other players

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: we'll see, maybe they got a little age and the

107
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: secondary will slay be back. But remember Nikobe Dean, the

108
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: linebacker who got her. He's coming back. They've got some

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: young players they've drafted so well, what's made not make

110
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: you think they're going to draft well again? As long

111
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: as they don't get the big head right. The disease

112
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: of me and they seem to be humble enough. With

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: guys like Saquon and Jalen Hurts, they've got a damn

114
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: good shot it being right back where they are right now, you.

115
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Know, just listening to I mean, if if I'm an

116
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Egos fan, I beck, well, obviously you should resign everyone.

117
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: The toughest part to all of this. And there's a.

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Lot of reasons that Howie Roseman besides just being resilient

119
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: to take a beer can to the head, a lot

120
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: of reasons he's really good. One of them is to

121
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: know when to be like, all right, we're not re

122
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: signing that guy, but we are signing this Guy's Like

123
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: this is one of the toughest things is you might

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: have there's not endless money. You might have to let

125
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: some guys go. And they also, by the way, you're

126
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: going to need to replace Kellen Moore, the new coach

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: of the Saints. Where do they go at offensive coordinator

128
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: and ken whoever they hire continue what Nick Sirianni has

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: built on offense.

130
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: A lot of big questions for.

131
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: The Eagles, but they get to do so knowing that

132
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: they got that ring, so I think they'll probably be fine.

133
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: What the Eagles did has led people on other teams,

134
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: stars on other teams to say, you know what, why

135
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: can't we do that? It was interesting listening to Micah

136
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: Parsons discuss the talent being there. As he said, this

137
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: is a quote, we just got to be aggressive the

138
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: same way some other teams did. I don't want to

139
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: sit back and watch these other teams building us stay

140
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: the same. Definitely a call to action, which Steve I

141
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: took note of that because Micah Parsons he's not a

142
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: free agent, but he is up for a new deal.

143
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I talked about with colleague Tom posts Erro on Super

144
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday game day morning that internally, Cowboys have had

145
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: some discussions about whether to keep Micah, whether or not to.

146
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: He wants them to be aggressive, He wants them to

147
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: spend Last year they spent zero zero. What do the Cowboys,

148
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: in your mind, need to do to kind of get

149
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: where the Eagles and the other consistently really good teams get.

150
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: They've bought them.

151
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 3: They've boxed themselves in a little bit against the cap

152
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: by playing this better late than never to sign guys

153
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: to extensions where they're paying players at the top end

154
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: of the market as of right now. I believe there

155
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: are roughly three million above the cap. Now there's all

156
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: kinds of ways to maneuver to make space. But they've

157
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: got to figure out a lot of things. One is

158
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: Zach Martin, their start offensive lineman, even coming back, he's

159
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: a free agent, got a bad ankle injury. How do

160
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: you replenish that.

161
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: They've got to figure out something to do with the

162
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: run game.

163
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: And then defensively, it's not just Micah Parsons they've got

164
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: to bring back.

165
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: There's several holes to fill.

166
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: So they've drafted well, yes, but they've got to figure

167
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: out other ways to maneuver with not as much cap

168
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: space as a team like Washington in its division, which

169
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: of course jumps right up to the top to make

170
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: a playoff team behind Philadelphia and the NFC East. So

171
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: it's going to be intriguing just because of their cap constraints.

172
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really do wonder like where they find

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: the money from, right, I mean, Zach Martin may retire.

174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: I think you know, that help a little bit.

175
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: But they have so much high priced talent because they

176
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: drafted so well, it's a problem. And how do they

177
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: manage and how much do they push forward? The Cowboys

178
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: have recently not really been willing to do that. We

179
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: did get a little bit of coaching news today. I

180
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: mentioned Kellen Moore as the new Saints coach. The fallout

181
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: from that, Darren Rizzy, the Saints' interim coach, was officially

182
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: named the special teams coach, also assistant head coach for

183
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. I think once it was clear was

184
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: not getting the Saints' job, that's obviously where he was going.

185
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: That is a big pick up for Sean Payton. The

186
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars have been in the market for a general

187
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: managersince firing Trent Palky.

188
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: Have done a slew of interviews.

189
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: John Eric Sullivan, executive from the Packers, was one in

190
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: Cunningham with the kind of senior yearbook style picture. Was

191
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: another from the Bears. Chad Alexander second GM interview. Another

192
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: rising talent, he's from the Chargers. John Robinson, former Titans

193
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: general manager. He got a look as well, some big

194
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: time talent that I know the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking

195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: at general manager wise. I bring all this up to

196
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: note that over the last couple of days there was

197
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: kind of a rumor slash report going around about the

198
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: teams were calling the Jaguars about Trevor Lawrence. Now it's

199
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: not true, as Tom Pelserro mentioned, I don't believe the

200
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: Jaguars are trading Trevor Lawrence at all. But did make

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: me think Steve about this quarterback trade market. If Trevor

202
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Lawrence is staying in Jacksonville, certainly that's one of the

203
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: reasons Liam Cohen took that job. You have uncertainty elsewhere.

204
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: You have Matthew Stafford, who I believe wants to go

205
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: back to the Rams. The Rams want him back, they

206
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: have not yet agreed on a contract, which means other

207
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: teams might be interested in him.

208
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: Obviously.

209
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: You have Derek Carr, the Saints starter, who Kellen Moore

210
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: was not exactly definitive with yesterday as far as like, yeah,

211
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: we definitely wanted back, we want it back.

212
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: He may be gone.

213
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: How does this quarterback market shape up? And in your mind, like,

214
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: who's who's kind of the big ticket guy here?

215
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's not forget Kirk Coussins too.

216
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: He could be on the move too from Atlanta since

217
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: he's been relegated to the bench.

218
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: But Matthew Stafford is a big ticket guy. I mean,

219
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: let's not forget.

220
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: No team played better against the Eagles all postseason than

221
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: the Rams. The Rams had them, except they had some

222
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: turnovers late in the game. So Matthew Stafford, the Rams

223
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: have got to figure out what they want to do

224
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: contractually with him, Like you said, Without Matthew Stafford, where

225
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: do they go next?

226
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: There's no Plan B.

227
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: And that's kind of where a lot of these teams sit,

228
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: which is why Matthew Stafford could potentially have a market.

229
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: It depends on what his financial demands are. If they're

230
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: too high for the Rams, they will let him go,

231
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 3: or they will make a move and trade him away

232
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: to where we'll see.

233
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: But I think they should figure out something right there.

234
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: In terms of Derek carr Ian, you know he's got

235
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: that no trade clause, So we'll see. We'll see exactly

236
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: what happens with New Orleans because Kellen Moore said a

237
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: lot of positive things about him, like.

238
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: You said, though also noncommittal.

239
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Right, we love him, He's done great things.

240
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: As far as you definitively keeping them. We'll see.

241
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: Both sides gonna have a say in this one. More

242
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: on that coming in the next couple of weeks. The

243
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins did some salary cap cuts today where he mostered

244
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Star the last couple of years.

245
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: Officially released.

246
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller, veteran cornerback, also officially reached You're going to

247
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: see each team do their version of this over the

248
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks as they try to get under

249
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: the cap, just like the Pittsburgh Steelers did. Remember Preston Smith,

250
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: big time trade acquisition for them, former sack master from

251
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, traded from.

252
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: At the deadline.

253
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Thought would come in and have a big impact, was

254
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: what it was.

255
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: He now has been released. We're coming for Yeah, you

256
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: know who we're coming for.

257
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 8: Jenna Hurst, bossmun Now zero zero, that's that's you.

258
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: That's you, that's you. All of us, man, I know

259
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: it's all of us. But you don't understand the difference

260
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: you made. You know you right down. But you like

261
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: that last piece.

262
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 5: Man, it's over now.

263
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 7: I'm told no, not weekend not.

264
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: We do that every time Super Bowl MVP, super.

265
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: Bowl twnis right.

266
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: Hold on, that just happened, man.

267
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 4: Congratulations, mass probably don't get way do it?

268
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 7: Go join you?

269
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I miss that. I've seen that a

270
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: couple of times. I missed that until just now where

271
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: they say the PR staff says Jalen super Bowl MVP,

272
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: and he goes Super Bowl Champ clarifies.

273
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: Kind of cool.

274
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: Steve Weiss joining me once again, Adam Rank welcome inside

275
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: with the insiders. So you have your past Super Bowl

276
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: QB rankings. Now, this is available in NFL dot com,

277
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: but don't read it yet because I want you to

278
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: unbuil all of it for us.

279
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: Start with number five. Yeah, this was a really interesting

280
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: conversation because a lot of people are asking based on

281
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: what Jalen Hurts was able to do, and I want

282
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: to let it ready, if your guy is number five

283
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: or number four, I'm not hating on him. These are

284
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: five amazing people. Okay, five great quarterbacks. You should be

285
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: happy to have them. Unfortunately, somebody's got to be number five,

286
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: and it's weird to say that. It's Lamar Jackson, but

287
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: that's who I went with. I know he's a multi

288
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: time MVP, he's a much better passer then people give

289
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: him credit for it. I truly do believe he is

290
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,479
Speaker 2: one of the best in the game. But for this exercise,

291
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: when you got it, I know a lot of people

292
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: will hesitate and be like well, wins are not a

293
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: quarterback stat. They sort of are, and unless you're Eli

294
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: Manning going for the Hall of Fame, But for most people,

295
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: quarterback stats are wins and it's one of those things.

296
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: I have Lamar at number five, even though he's coming

297
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: off a truly incredible season. Well, well, Adam, I like

298
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: how you we preface. This is your postseason rankings, and

299
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: this is a regular season. He'd probably be at the

300
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: top of the food chain, in the top two, but

301
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: his team did not get there. So no argument here.

302
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Anyone who says wins or not a QB stat just

303
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really know what you're talking about, right, good stuff

304
00:14:59,400 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: on number five.

305
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: Give me a number four. Oh, this is another tough one.

306
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, who was the regular season MVP, who went

307
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: out there and again we didn't think he could do

308
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: much better, but he's done. During the course of his

309
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: career Head they got rid of Stefon Diggs and he

310
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: was still able to go out there and be the

311
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: regular season MVP. And I love him. I think he's great.

312
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: He's tremendous. However, when you get in these playoff situations,

313
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: at some point you're going to have to knock off

314
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs. I know it's not fair, but

315
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: it is going to be one of those things that's

316
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: going to hang over him. And it happens to a

317
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: lot of great quarterbacks. I think back to Steve Young

318
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: during his time in the nineties where he had to

319
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: go out and beat the Dallas Cowboys before he was

320
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: truly embraced, especially by forty nine Ers fans. So I

321
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: think for Josh Allen it could happen. At some point.

322
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: It still needs to happen. It's not fair, but it's

323
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: also the reality of football. If you want to be

324
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: in that conversation, you got.

325
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: To beat the big dog, and they have come agonizing

326
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: and close, but not yet.

327
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: Give me number three. I know, well, this is going

328
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: to be unusual because this is a postseason ranking, but

329
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: I've got to throw Joe Burrow in here and I'll

330
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: tell you why. Now, obviously they did. The Cincinnati Bengals

331
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: did not make the playoffs. However, it seemed a little

332
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: bit like the Kansas City Chiefs, like Kevin Nash against

333
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: hul Cogan back in the nineteen nineties, took the finger

334
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: pulk of doom, so the Bengals couldn't reach the postseason.

335
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Because the one thing that I love about Joe Burrow,

336
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: and you see the numbers right there, over forty touchdown passes,

337
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: less than ten interceptions. The one guy in the AFC

338
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: who has been able to stand up to Patrick Mahomes,

339
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: look him in the eye and beat him the Cincinnati Bengals.

340
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: And I think that if the Bengals had made the playoffs,

341
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: that was my pick to go to the super Bowl.

342
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: But unfortunately they didn't make it. But I still think

343
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: that Joe Burrow third best quarterback in the NFL.

344
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Right now, Oh, you said this is postseason. They didn't

345
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: make it to the postseason. My good friend, I think

346
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: that's a stopper right here. Oh, wins matter, it matter.

347
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: He didn't have enough of them. That's why he's not

348
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: number one. Hext the discount.

349
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: We're not there yet. Hold on, we're not there yet.

350
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: We still got number two to go.

351
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 5: Now.

352
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: By the way, I also am of the line of

353
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: thinking that had burrowin, the Bengals got in would have

354
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: done some serious damage.

355
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: One of the big what ifs of this season. Give

356
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: us number two. Well, this one is very difficult because

357
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go through complete recency bias. So

358
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: I still have Jalen Hurts at number two, and I

359
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: think that this has been a long time coming for him.

360
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: I think that for a lot of people, even coming

361
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: into this season, he was not getting the respect that

362
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: he deserves as an NFL quarterback. I thought this way

363
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: of him coming out of Oklahoma. I was shocked that

364
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: he was a second round draft pick. The Eagles were

365
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: able to go out there and get him in the

366
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: second round, similar to the San Diego Chargers years ago

367
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: being able to steal Drew Brees away. But Jalen Hurts

368
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: is actually, if you want to get down to it,

369
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: he's actually Outplayedatrick Mahomes in the last two Super Bowls,

370
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: and you can make a definitive case for him being

371
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: the number one guy. The rushing touchdowns and everything about

372
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: him is magnificent. But at this moment, right now, I'm

373
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: still factoring in a couple of seasons here. I know

374
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: it's a postseason ranking. He's my number two guy. He's

375
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: my number two guy.

376
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: Well, just the fact that we're having this conversation of

377
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: is Jalen Hurts one or two means that he really

378
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: has solidified himself as one of the stars of this league.

379
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm not that that smart, right, but

380
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: I've gone through the list and there's only one elite

381
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: quarterback that we have not gotten to.

382
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: So number one is there's got to be Matthew Stafford. No,

383
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, h No, it's obviously it's Patrick Mahomes. That

384
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: was No. This is the thing, And like again, I

385
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: don't want everybody to overreact by what happened in the

386
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. He yes, they did not look good, but

387
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: still when you look at some of the other quarterbacks,

388
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning got blown out in two of his Super

389
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: Bowls and nobody ever holds out against him. I think

390
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: for Patrick Mahomes, he's won two out of the last three,

391
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: I think we can give him a little bit of grace.

392
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: I think what we do pull back on is the

393
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: greatest of all time conversation. Tom Brady is still firmly

394
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: the leader in that category. You might even want to

395
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: throw Joe Montana back into that mix as well. But

396
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: the current quarterbacks right now, even after what happened in

397
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, he's been to three three consecutive Super Bowls.

398
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: I think that were I think that brings in a

399
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: lot of credence. Patrick Mahomes is still gonna be the

400
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: number one guy, but it's getting closer with Jalen Hurts.

401
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that right now.

402
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: I actually kind of like this because you are adding

403
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: the wins and your little aggregate career some things in

404
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: the criteria that you have here. What is interesting is

405
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: in this top five only one NFC quarterback. That's what

406
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: I found about this, so really intriguing stuff there Adam again,

407
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: but Joe Shisty, who's my favorite guy at number three.

408
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: It's so see, I had to go over multiple seats.

409
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: I did include multiple seasons. I did with it a

410
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: little bit, and again like Ian and I like Ian

411
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: was saying, like, if you factor in the possibility of

412
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: the Bengals being in the playoffs, I truly believe they

413
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: would have. I truly believe they would have won the AFC.

414
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: We'll never know. I would like to know, but we'll

415
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: never know. Rank the idea of ranking all time great

416
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: playoff quarterbacks actually google them. Maybe we'll have you on

417
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: later in the offseason for that. For now, thank you

418

439
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: we are so so close to NFL free agency, another

440
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: star studded free agency. We've got Sam Darnold, got Russell

441
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: Wilson once again, Aaron Rodgers enter the fray after the

442
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: Jets released him. We got star running back Nick Chubb.

443
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: Of course, T Higgins one of the top guys. Stefan

444
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: Diggs still right there, let's get into it. Bridget Condom

445
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: joins the party along with my good friend Steve Weisch.

446
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: So Bridget, I will start with you. We mentioned T

447
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: Higgins coming into this thing. I think it's no doubt

448
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: that he is one of the top free agents and

449
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: most intriguing free agents. Where how does it all stack

450
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: up for T Higgins and the Cincinnati Bengals.

451
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 9: Well, look, we've heard T Higgins, Jamar Chase, the entire

452
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 9: Bengals core continue to say they'll do whatever it takes

453
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 9: to get that core back. I remember being at that

454
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 9: last game that the Bengals played against the Pittsburgh Steelers

455
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 9: in Pittsburgh, and I asked Joe Burrow, what does it

456
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 9: feel like knowing you could have just played your last

457
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 9: game as a trio? And he said, you don't want

458
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 9: to make your career out of watching good players leave

459
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 9: the building. And he said he will do what it takes,

460
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 9: and whether that means restructuring his contract, Steve or what

461
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 9: they want to keep this together. And he alluded to

462
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 9: the fact that it was he, T and Jamar that

463
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 9: really changed the Cincinnati Bengals. Remember that Super Bowl run

464
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty one. And the interesting thing though, is

465
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 9: how they get this done Because you have Jamar Chase's contracts,

466
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 9: you have Trey Henderson who's going to be wanting an extension,

467
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 9: and any other team. T Higgins is a wide receiver

468
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 9: number one. You know, he might be number two behind

469
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 9: Jamar Chase technically on this Bengals roster, but he almost

470
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 9: has one thousand yards ten touchdowns this season.

471
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 7: He is a threat on the field. So how do

472
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 7: they make it work?

473
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 9: But one thing that's interesting, Joe Burrow and Michael Parsons

474
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 9: from the Cowboys said that this week they kind of

475
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 9: looked at the Eagles and how they managed to pay

476
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 9: all their top guys and it worked. So how can

477
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 9: maybe players influence in front office work itself out and look.

478
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 7: To say, hey, they did it. They want a championship.

479
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: One thing with the Eagles that they've done for years,

480
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 3: even back when Joe Bannon was GM, is they extend

481
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 3: guys after their second or third year, so they get

482
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 3: them early in the process. The Bengals are not there.

483
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is making a top shelf contract. Yeah, he

484
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: may want a restructure, but Jamar Chase, he still want

485
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: to be paid one dollar more than Justin Jefferson. That's

486
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: in the thirty five million average average per year range.

487
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: To do that with T Higgins and put that much

488
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: money into one position when their defense needs that much help,

489
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: it's going to be very difficult, no matter how much

490
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: they want to for Cincinnati to keep both those wide receivers,

491
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: especially when I could see team like New England throwing

492
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: money at T Higgins at just unmatchable.

493
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: If he gets free. By the way, still good franchise.

494
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: Tag T Higgins a second time our bridget. Let's stay

495
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. One of the biggest trades

496
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: this year during the right around the time of the

497
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: trade deadline, Amari Cooper going to the Bills left his

498
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: contract untouched, so he is now a free agent.

499
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: Where does it stand for him?

500
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 9: An interesting trade, Ian, and I know you talked about

501
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 9: it a lot. When Amari Cooper went to the Bills.

502
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 9: It kind of felt like that was the missing piece,

503
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 9: right and they were going to become this incredible team

504
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 9: with Amari Cooper. He had that first game and really

505
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 9: showed off, but since then he didn't really do much

506
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 9: for the Bills. He wasn't a big threat in the postseason.

507
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 9: Of course, it came out that he was dealing with

508
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 9: a wrist injury. He had just twenty catches, less than

509
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 9: three hundred yards two touchdowns for the Bills during his time.

510
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 9: Of course, when you get traded mid season, you're dealing

511
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 9: with a playbook, a new playbook. So maybe a whole

512
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 9: offseason with this Bill's playbook, we'll see a different Amari Cooper.

513
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 9: Remember he's just a year removed from a thousand yard season.

514
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 9: So it's about do the Bills feel like they can

515
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 9: get that Amari Cooper that we saw with the Browns

516
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 9: years ago, or do they feel like maybe it's time

517
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 9: to move on. I mean, they still have other guys

518
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 9: and they were able to make a deep playoff run

519
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 9: with some of those other guys, So do they feel

520
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 9: like they need him.

521
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 7: We'll find out here shortly.

522
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: I think that part is a swing vote.

523
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: They made a deep playoff run without him putting up

524
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: big numbers, and.

525
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: Look, it all depends.

526
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: They might say, go test the market and if nobody

527
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 3: really comes with that big offer, let's not remember, let's

528
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: not forget he turns thirty one in June. So if

529
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: nobody comes with that crazy money, then maybe they can

530
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 3: bring them back at an affordable rate. But if it's

531
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 3: an affordable rate, does he really want to be there

532
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: or does he want to go to a different team,

533
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: possibly a team like the Rams who could be moving

534
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: on from Cooper Coupp.

535
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: Speaking of older dudes who are still really awesome, Khalil

536
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Knack is wants to play. There's some doubts at the

537
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: end of the season. Still wants to play. Multi year

538
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Pro bowl Er. Where does it How does it stack

539
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: up for Khalil Mack?

540
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: Where's he going with it?

541
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 7: This is interesting.

542
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 9: Khalil Mack one of my favorite players, such a great

543
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 9: guy on and off the field. He has a long

544
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 9: resume of accomplishments, Defensive Player of the Year, four time

545
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 9: First Team All Pro, nine Pro Bowls. The one thing

546
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 9: he doesn't have Ian and Steve is a Super Bowl.

547
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 9: And I know that when guys are playing late and

548
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 9: a player like him that is a household name, they

549
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 9: want to add that to the resume. Remember Aaron Donald

550
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 9: before he retired, that was the one thing that he wanted.

551
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 9: Khalil Mack's same thing. He wants to get that Super Bowl.

552
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 9: So it's going to be really interesting. Does he believe

553
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 9: and do the Chargers find a way of course with

554
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 9: Joey Bosa, I don't see a way where they keep

555
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 9: Khalil Mack and both Joey Bosa. But do they have

556
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 9: conversations and Khalil believes, you know, the Chargers could be

557
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 9: there a team competing for the Super Bowl. Or is

558
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 9: he going to say, you know, I'm talking to these

559
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 9: other teams. They're offering me money and they're knocking on

560
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 9: the door of a Super Bowl.

561
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 7: But I don't imagine.

562
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 9: He's going to a team with a rebuild. He's going

563
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 9: to go to a team where he thinks he can

564
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 9: win a Super Bowl.

565
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 6: Right.

566
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: If he wants to win a Super Bowl, it's either

567
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 3: the Chargers or he looks at a team like the Ravens. Right,

568
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: they play a very similar scheme, something that he's thrived in.

569
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: So we'll see. If it's not about the money, it's

570
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: about the ring. He's going to create a lot of

571
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: options for himself.

572
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 7: And defense wins championships.

573
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 9: We heard Jalen Hurt say it today, So he might

574
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 9: be a name even though he's older Ian where a

575
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 9: lot of people might throw some money at him.

576
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's probably going to do fine.

577
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Maybe that finisher that we've seen in fregency, like really

578
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: good veteran dudes sometimes can be one more guy. I'll

579
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: get to Sam Donald, obviously, one of the biggest names

580
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: in free agency, someone who we're going to be talking

581
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: about here for the next month or so. I mean, look,

582
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is someone who I know the Vikings have

583
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: interest in keeping. It's just really a matter of price,

584
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: and the question is can they keep this championship level

585
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: team around him and still pays Sam Darnold what he deserves.

586
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: That's obviously the big question for the Vikings this year

587
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: is a big question for the Vikings last year. We

588
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: will see over the course of the next couple weeks

589
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: where this all ends up. Meanwhile, for the Philadelphia Eagles,

590
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: their free agency last year, guys, was something that took

591
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: them from a team that was a little bit in

592
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: distress just being honest, to a team that just celebrated

593
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Saquon Barkley massive signing, massive impact, Zach Bond,

594
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: really under the radar signing, massive impact.

595
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: CJ.

596
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, massive impact. Bryce Huff I would say, you know,

597
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: probably not as much but still made a lot of money.

598
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: So for the Philadelphia Eagles, they hoped to replicate that

599
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: again to get here, which is at the parade where

600
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: we saw Saquon Barkley. I believe that is a ball boy,

601
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: a ball boy that he saw in the crowd that

602
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: he grabbed and said, you know what, you should be

603
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: joining us.

604
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: Saquan is the best.

605
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: Let's hear from him, Philly.

606
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 8: I want to say thank you so much for the

607
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 8: love and support that you guys showed to me and

608
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 8: my family, especially being the newcomers here. I want to

609
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 8: thank mister Loriie. I want to thank Howie, the whole

610
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 8: Eagles organization. My teammates want to thank you guys, especially

611
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 8: for us being world champs. One thing that I've learned

612
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 8: from being here for a short period of time is

613
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 8: that you guys are tough. O.

614
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: Good friend Bucky Brooks joining us. So let's get into

615
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: the next Bucky, right, I mean, Eagles did it this year?

616
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: Who is going to have next?

617
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Take me through the teams with the biggest and widest

618
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl windows?

619
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when you're looking at teams that have

620
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: a wide window, I think it's important to look at

621
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: not only the talent today, if here with a young

622
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 4: talent that's in the pipeline. That's why the philography Eagles

623
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: could be poised to make a long and extended run

624
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 4: out side of contenders. When you look at what they've

625
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 4: done and how they structure the contracts with Jalen Hurst

626
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 4: and aj Brown and DeVante Smith. You have Saquon Barkley

627
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: in the backfield, but really on defense, all those young

628
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: dominant people on the front line, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith,

629
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: Jordan Davis.

630
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: You have Nakobe Dean who's gonna come back off an injury.

631
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 4: The two young corners Quinn Mitchell, Quinnyon Mitchell and Cooper

632
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: dejan This is a team that is loaded.

633
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: They're going to continue to be loaded because the philadelph

634
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: Eagles do a great job of drafting Biggs early.

635
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: This is a team that we should see in the

636
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 4: Final four for the next few years. The Detroit Lions

637
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 4: are another team that can also enjoy an extended run.

638
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: The job that Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have done

639
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 4: assembling a blue chip roster with marquee names and marquis positions.

640
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: Jered Golf, Jamia Gibbs, David Montgomery, Amana Saint Brown, Jamison

641
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 4: William Sam Laporter, that talented offensive line, Aiden Hutchinson, and

642
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: some of the other young defensive stars like Allen McNeil.

643
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 7: This is a team that also has the talented and.

644
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: When you think about it, remember they had like.

645
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 4: Sixteen guys on ir but still finished with the best

646
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: record in the NFC. It's a dominant team and a

647
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: team that should continue to be dominant despite the coaching changes.

648
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 4: And then the last team that I'll talk about, which

649
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: is kind of like one of those launch shot teams

650
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: to be there. But how about the Green Bay Packers

651
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 4: and the reason why the Green Bay packs are there?

652
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: This is the youngest team in the league. They've had

653
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: a lot of success the last couple of years since

654
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: Jordan Loved been taken over.

655
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: He will continue to.

656
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: Climb the ranks as an elite quarterback, but he's surrounded

657
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: by really good players. Now Josh Jacobs's own record, seeing

658
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 4: they need a number one receiver, maybe that is true,

659
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 4: but I know on defense, Jeff Afflee has his way

660
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 4: with seven former first round picks in that lineup, they

661
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: got some other guys in the hopper waiting to happen.

662
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: The Green Bay Packers are a team that believe in

663
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: a home grown philosophy. That philosophy has played out really

664
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: well for them and it's one of the reasons why

665
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 4: they have an extended run as a Super Bowl contender.

666
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, young studied quarterback probably does not hurt them.

667
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: They have done an incredible job in Green Bay.

668
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Slash Scouts notebook, Bucky, thank you very

669
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: much for joining us as always. Meanwhile, today is Valentine's Day.

670
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you did know that it's a little known fact.

671
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: Today is Valentine's Day. So let's play matchmaker just a

672
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's try to figure out where Shador, Sanders

673
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: and cam Ward not only where they land, but where

674
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: would be the best landing spot for them. Will put

675
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: a prospect together with a team coming up next on

676
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: The Insiders, the NFL Scouting Combine presented by Microsoft Copilot

677
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: is just a.

678
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: Few weeks away.

679
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I cannot wait see all the action from the forty

680
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: yard line, from the forty yard dash, the field drills,

681
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: and much more. February twenty seventh through March second, on

682
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: NFL Network and on NFL Plus. I will be there

683
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: the entire time come hang out with us. One of

684
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: the best weeks of the entire football calendar. Let's go

685
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: inside with Fantasy Live. Adam Rank joining us once again.

686
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: So a lot of.

687
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: People don't know this. Today is Valentine's Day. Okay, So

688
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're going to play matchmakers.

689
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: So here's the game. I will give you the prospect

690
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: and you tell me what team he's definitely going with. Okay,

691
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: so we'll start with Miami quarterback cam Ward.

692
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: Camp Ward, though, should go to the Tennessee Titans. We're

693
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: looking for him to get an opportunity to go to

694
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: a place where he's going to start from day one

695
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: and be able to build. And I think that you know,

696
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: last season when you watch the Titans, I really sort

697
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: of liked their offense. They ran them ball pretty well.

698
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: They've got some big names at wide receiver, and it

699
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: really was if the quarterback play would have been a

700
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: little bit better. We were trying to make Will Levis

701
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: a thing and it just wasn't going to happen. Cam

702
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Ward could go in there and be the kind of guy.

703
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to be Jade and Daniels,

704
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: but similar to like c J. Stroud two years ago.

705
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 2: I think you're going to have that kind of impact.

706
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what this guy has, but take me

707
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: through Travis Hunter and where his best landing spot is.

708
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really a discussion of where he's going to

709
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 2: be playing in the NFL. Is he gonna play both ways?

710
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: He's just gonna play wide receiver. As a fantasy enthusiast,

711
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say wide receiver. I kind of want him

712
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 2: to go to the New York Giants. You know. It's

713
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: one of those things too where you're like, you look

714
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: at what happened last season with Malik Neighbors. I feel

715
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: like if you could get Travis Hunter to play wide

716
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: receiver for the New York Giants, this could be a

717
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 2: similar type situation like they have in Cincinnati with Jamar

718
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: Chase and T Higgins for so long, those two guys

719
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: complimenting each other, and regardless of who the quarterback is,

720
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the kind of guy who

721
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: can excel. Whether it's Matthew Stafford on a trade, which

722
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: I don't think is likely, maybe it's Sam Darnold, who knows,

723
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: but I would love to see the Giants make a

724
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: run and put in Travis Hunter opposite of Malik Neighbors.

725
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 2: Now we got one more for your rank.

726
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: This is one of the most fun prospects of the

727
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: entire draft. Ashton Genty in a year where the running

728
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: back is having a re emergence.

729
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: Where's he going? You know, I'm going to say the

730
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders Just so number one, so all the

731
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: Bears fans will stop talking about drafting them, because like

732
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 2: the Bear's need offensive lineup, they don't need a running

733
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: back right now. But I was thinking about this, Ashton

734
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 2: Genty makes a lot of sense for the Dallas Cowboys. However,

735
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: when I'm thinking about Pete Carroll coaching the Las Vegas Raiders,

736
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: and I think about the longevity of Pete Carroll's career,

737
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: going back to his time at USC when you had

738
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: Reggie Bush and Lendale White and Silas Red, or you

739
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 2: go to Seattle and he's got Marshawn Lynch and even

740
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: Kenny Walker j the third over the last couple of years.

741
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: I really do believe the Raiders want to run the football.

742
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: And if they go out there and they drop in

743
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: Ashton Genty in this often similar situation of the New

744
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: York Giants. We don't quite know who the quarterback is,

745
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 2: but I think Genti could be good when you pay

746
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: them there. I got Brock Boers from last season. This

747
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: can end up being a nice little offense. If they

748
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: add gent.

749
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: It's no longer that crazy to take a running back

750
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen or top ten. They're coming back rank,

751
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: They're coming back all right. Next week, the patch of

752
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: the draft continues with two events designed to help HBCU

753
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: athletes get their shot at the NFL. Monday, it's the

754
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: HBCU Combine with coverage here on The Insiders at seven

755
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: pm Eastern. Then next Saturday, it's the All State HBCU

756
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: Legacy Bowl, as two teams are draft eligible players square

757
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: off in front of NFL scouts live at four pm

758
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: Eastern on NFL Network. Steve Weis will be there covering

759
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: the two events in New Orleans. Next week, Steve break

760
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: it down for us who we watching.

761
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, first off, Ian, this is a great

762
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: showcase for players from HBCUs.

763
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: The majority which we do not get invited to the

764
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 2: regular draft Combine.

765
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 3: A player like Brandon Codrington, the part returner for the Bills,

766
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 3: played in this game last year, but We're going to

767
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: the running backs this year, and we are starting with

768
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: Virginia Union's Jada Buyers Now Buyers. He led Virginia Union

769
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: to the CIAA Championship. He rushed for two and twenty

770
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: seven yards on the season. This is one of the

771
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 3: most prolific rushers ever in black college football, and that's

772
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 3: saying a lot. Remember Walter Payton played at Jackson State.

773
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 3: This is also somebody we're going to be looking out for.

774
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 3: Twenty eight catches last year, and I'm sure the NFL

775
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: scouts in attendance all thirty two teams will be represented.

776
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: We were looking at his return skills also.

777
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: Because as you can see from this video, he's only

778
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: five to seven about one hundred and ninety pounds. He's

779
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: incredibly strong. He's a breakaway threat. Again, another player to

796
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: You know why the Eagles' Super Bowl victory parade is

797
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: just a gift that keeps on given. I feel like

798
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: we're going to see these highlights all around Philadelphia for

799
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,879

00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: stud an event, millions of people. We had Shenanigans, We

801
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: had kids being brought out. We had beer being thrown

802
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: at the Jet general manager right there. That is how

803
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: we rose him, by the way, taking a beer off

804
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: the noggin and then delivering an iconic line about how

805
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: he bleeds for the city, how we crushes it. Of course,

806
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: we also heard from another legendary member of the Philadelphia Eagles,

807
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham and what is perhaps his last time as

808
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: a member of the Eagles.

809
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: They we worked too hard.

810
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,799

00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,640

00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 10: thankful to have been here. And I'm just I love y'all.

819
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: I love how they brought both Lombardies. They also brought

820
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: children not into the parade except Saquon did.

821
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: That's a three year old whose birthday.

822
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: It is twenty seconds of love in Saquon's arms. I

823
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: would imagine that three ye old will probably cherish those

824
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: photos and that moment forever.

825
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 2: Cooper Dejan had his moments.

826
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: He also had this selfie. He's got a bend his

827
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: hat a little bit. And are kids wearing their hats

828
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: like that? No one told me. I never got the

829
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: memo on that I still bend my brim like a

830
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: regular person. Anyway, Cooper Degene with a big moment. Fans

831
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: loved him, could not get enough of him, so much

832
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: so that they thought read blanket ship was Cooper Dejene.

833
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: So had to literally tell fans, I'm actually not him,

834
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm the other guy.

835
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 2: That's that guy. I'm this guy. Anyway.

836
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: It was like, it's tough for crowds. And I understand, Steve.

837
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: They were all drunk, so you could say literally anything,

838
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, man, I've been drinking

839
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: bud lights for six hours waiting here, all right, So

840
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: all of those highlights brings me to what I really

841
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: want to bring you back in to talk about. And

842
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: I watched the parade, and I watched all the different characters, right,

843
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: and so what I'm wondering is like, what would your

844
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: role in a parade be? Would you be like running

845
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: on the street guy, would you be crazy speech guy

846
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: like Jason Kelsey?

847
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: What would you do in a parade? Oh, I'm the

848
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 2: less sneed speech guy.

849
00:40:59,440 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: Right.

850
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: You know you got the gray hair. So it's a

851
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: little sage wisdom.

852
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go up there and this I'm gonna

853
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 3: talk a little trash. If I'm a little loubed up,

854
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 3: I may say, you know, blank them picks, surprise everybody

855
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,479
Speaker 3: with a little, you know.

856
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: Foul language.

857
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: But again, I gotta keep in my lane because again

858
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: the great hair. I can't play off of player. I've

859
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 3: got to be an executive, so I got to play

860
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 3: that role.

861
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: So because you're older, you're taking yourself forget player, you're

862
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: taking yourself right to executive.

863
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, man, I'm well past that young stuff.

864
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm still young. I'm actually not young. People think I'm young,

865
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: but I'm really not. What I would do, I would

866
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: be chilling on the float smoking cigar guy right, like,

867
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: I see the fans, but I'm not crazy. Not I

868
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: get offensive lineman who's like yelling at high five and

869
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm soaking up. I'm smoking the cigar and I'm just

870
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: enjoying winning a super Bowl. None of us are gonna

871
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: win super Bowls at all. I'm just saying it's fun

872
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: to pretend, right anyway, Steve Weis, thank you very much
