He told you 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: to support a winter beard. Yeah, that I did. Patrick 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: Patrick has a thick like Game of Thrones type beer, 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: like you were climbing the wall from the to escape 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,639 Speaker 1: the White Walkers. That's what we're working with. R It's 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: cold out there. It just snowed other day. You gotta 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: keep your face jacket on. What is what is snow? 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: It's true what west actually does not have a beard, 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: but he told me that when you moved out here 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: you did have one, which I don't remember, but I did. 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: Beards seemed to be encouraged on Tybee Island Georgia where 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: a lot of hippies hang out your previous residents end 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: of the road kind of place. But l A is 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: very image conscious and beards are not really uh part 25 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: of this scene out here. It doesn't seem like you though, 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: to sense that and then immediately reach for the razor. 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: I think it was more of a starting over kind 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: of thing. It wasn't really concerned with what people thought. 29 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: It was more along the lines of I'm going bald 30 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: all over my face head. You look great, though, buddy. Um. 31 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Patra in the studio. I can't tell you how 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: excited I am to have Kevin in the studio. We 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: have them on the phone during the season and then 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: occasionally in the off season, just because the the audience 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: deserves to know more about Kevin. I want to throw 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: something out there, a little getting to know you with 37 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick. One thing about yourself that no one on 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: the A t L team and by extension, society society, 39 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: like everyone I know, knows about you un exactly, maybe 40 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: your closest confidence. I'll give you an example, like I'm 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Patra and I'm a gifted bass player. I'm Kevin Patra. 42 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: I have a pet python named Doug. Things of that nature. 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Roommate's name is Doug. He's kind of like a python. Bang. Um. 44 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: One thing about me? All right, before I came out 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: to l A about five or six year you go, 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: I actually coached girls track and field. I didn't high school, yes, 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: how did you? Um? I was bumming around doing nothing, 48 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: and I knew the coach and he said I need 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: an assistant, so I had. I ran in high school, 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: so distance Wait, so I got. I got to be 51 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: in charge of the female distance runners. I was gonna say, 52 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: you were also the coach that the type of coach 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: that's also three years older than the students. One of 54 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: those situations. Yeah, like three or five years sounds a 55 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: little shaky. It's a very nebulous area, is it. But 56 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: that's good. That's interesting. That's something I didn't smile. Ever, 57 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: you're a strict disciplinary because well, I mean, and you're 58 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: five years old. You can't be. You can't be.

See what this is. 61 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: This is why it doesn't matter if you're in Tybee 62 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: or in l A. They don't let you within three 63 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: miles of schools for that type of commentary, and because 64 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: I dropped out of all of them, the gold Center 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: behind the glass, How are you buddy? Doing great? Thanks? 66 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: We a couple of things. Actually I should have said 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: this off the top.

We're gonna talk a little bit about 93 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a little spacey and talk about some 94 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: some potential possibilities that could happen but probably won't. UM 95 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: hypothetical game, if you will. But before that, we need 96 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: to if we're gonna talk about the NFL annual meeting, 97 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: we should get our two heroes from a t L 98 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: that are in Orlando on the phone, Mark Sessler and 99 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal on the phone. Talk to him. Can we 100 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: do that? Let's do it? Greg and Mark are you there? 101 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: We are here. We are standing now outside in beautiful Orlando, 102 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: and some kids are playing paddle tennis nearby. That sounds good. 103 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: It's roughly the same acoustics as a Kevin Patra regular 104 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: season bar restroom hit on the A t L podcast. Um, 105 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: that's trouble news, but honestly is the Uh. We've been 106 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: kicked out of about three rooms at this point, so 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: this is the best you're gonna get from us, all Right. 108 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: The NFL annual meetings in Orlando have wrapped up. You 109 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: gentlemen were on hand for all the actions. So I 110 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: guess why don't we start with Wednesday? What were your 111 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: big takeaways from the day. I know today was the 112 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: NFC coaches breakfast I believe, which started sometime around five am. 113 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Uh your time, Yes, there, but so much that happened 114 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: today before Dan Hands even think thought about waking up. 115 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: My takeaway from that was probably Jim Harbaugh that it's 116 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: doesn't it's a new day in Jim Harbaugh Land, where 117 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: he's funny, he's entertaining the media, he's politicking for Colin 118 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: Kaepernick to get a contract extension. He's talking about how 119 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: he laid awake at night wondering what it would have 120 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: been like the bash the Broncos, like the Seahawks did. 121 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: It seems it seems like somehow there's a new Jim Harbaugh. 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: How is that different than the old Jim Harbor. Well, 123 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: that's a fair question. I think, you know, I I 124 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 1: buy him for a couple of minutes. He seems to 125 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 1: enjoy the process of kind of going back in sports 126 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: with the reporters, maybe a little bit more than he 127 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: used to. But I agreed that some of the old 128 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: traits are still there. I'm not sure, Greg, what do 129 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: you mean by me? Like there was a moment that 130 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: you listened to Mark where he started going off the 131 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: rails a little bit, and then he made this new 132 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: ag guru phrase that like I'm losing my emotional center here. 133 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: Well he said, uh, he started to go, which essentially 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: is you know, all of us pretending to know how 135 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: football works. And he went down a rant. He's going 136 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: down a wormhole, and he just paused. He collected himself, 137 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: and he said, I'm not going to allow myself to 138 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: become emotionally hijacked. Emotionally hijacked. Is is a therapist? Is 139 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: he seeing a therapist? That totally sounds like a therapist 140 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: talk uh, you know, spit back out. Maybe him and 141 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: Bulky are having group therapy sessions together. One thing about 142 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: Balki is he he had a funny quote on that too. 143 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: He said that these little something like, these little mini 144 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: controversies that are just made up, have literally no meaning 145 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: to the forty niners, you know whatever. I'm not sure 146 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: we believe that at all, but he dismissed it completely. 147 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: I don't buy a word of enough. Alright. Also, I'm 148 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: looking through Greg I'm using as the guide on the 149 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: Around the League page, um Mark Sessler and Greg Rosenvelt 150 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: together twenty four takeaways from the NFL Annual Meetings last day. Uh, 151 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: this kind of jumped out to me. Ron Ron Rivera, 152 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers coach, admitted that Steve Smith probably could have 153 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: helped the Panthers this season, but the team made a 154 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: tough decision to let him go away. And then West, 155 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: you just wrote a post on something else, Rivera said, correct. Yeah. 156 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: He gave a very Billy bean Brad Pitt moneyball explanation 157 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: to his wide receiver problem, saying all we all we 158 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: have to do. We don't need a number one receiver, 159 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: We just need ten catches of games. So what's going 160 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: on with Ron Rivera in Orlando? Well, I was sitting 161 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: there for that, and all I could think was, well, 162 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: that makes sense if your defense is in the top 163 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: three in the league, and your Russian game is as 164 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: great as it is was last year, even better. But 165 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: the reality is that's probably not gonna happen again. It 166 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: was a strange back and forth. He was in a 167 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: good mood, you know, when the astimate Smith was a 168 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: distracts and he said, well, no, because Steve is Steve, 169 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: and that's generally exactly you know where I'm going with 170 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: That's the same the same thing when the guy's like 171 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: and someone's like that guy, I know you think he's 172 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, of a jerk, but he 173 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: would give you the shirt off it's his back if 174 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: it was the last one he had. That's code for 175 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's not a good guy, but he's he's loyal. 176 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: The saying that's Steven Steve means that you know that 177 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: he's manning ramires. It's not I also, it's in that realm. 178 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: He said that Jericho contry that they made a list 179 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: of all their free agent desires in Jericho. Cattr was 180 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: number one on that lift and they would have signed 181 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: him the first day of free agency, but Jericho was 182 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: not available because he was on a cruise with his family. 183 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: Was that handicapping, like who they thought they could get 184 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: and then they did it go away. I don't know 185 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: they're really aiming for the middle. I feel like right 186 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: now the Carolina Panthers. And tell me a little bit 187 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick. I know, Mark, you wrote a great 188 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: uh behind the scenes type post setting the scene. Belichick 189 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: seemed to be one of the lead characters in Orlando, 190 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: both and his behaviors and his his workout routines that 191 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: I know you guys got a glimpse at. Tell us 192 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: about a little bit about Belichick. The last couple of days, 193 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: I thought Belichick was on the whole rather delightful because 194 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: during that breakfast when you're forced to come and sit 195 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: and deal with the media people on otherwise sort of 196 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: a vacation for you and your family or for him 197 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: in his case with Lynda Holiday, it's he came in. 198 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: I thought that he was self effacing. He you know, 199 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: threw it back in the reporter's face, was a couple 200 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: of times. And then yeah, like we would see him 201 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: throughout the day, like wandering through and what looks like 202 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Bill Belishick's version of tennis clothing, which to anyone else, 203 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it was to another human being. 204 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: But it was the sleeve. Yeah, where the sleeves cut 205 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: off on the tennis clothing. Now, that was the weird thing. 206 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: It was like he had shorts on and one of 207 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: his patent advisors and then like a like what you 208 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of shirt like a three year old would wear 209 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: where it's like a long sleeve fake football type shirt 210 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: that you know, attached to no real team. And he's 211 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: wandering around the hallways and that. So I don't know, 212 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm not in charge of his workshop, 213 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: but they needed to fix. They were very sweaty and 214 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: they were clearly lost in the Labyrinzian hallways market. I 215 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: have been lost then as well, because they were going 216 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: for one direction. They pull the three sixty trying to 217 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: see if anyone looked. They were looking for water. It's great. 218 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: It was like a fun sport at this big NFL 219 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: party we went to on Monday night after we taped 220 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: the podcast, just checking out everyone's significant others and families 221 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: was half the fun. It sounds like you guys might 222 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: have been leering, I would say, evaluating and just what 223 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: going on. I don't know about leering. I don't know 224 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: it just it kind of checks out by the way 225 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. Just so you guys know, um, 226 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: what do you think about your name as a teams 227 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: or like that? You know, I'll let you in on 228 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: a little secret. Greg and I went jogging together yesterday 229 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: god minutes. It was the first time we had actually 230 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: been outside in three days and is happening solid Runner. 231 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: That's like the cheesy nineties commercials with were the key 232 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: malag On and U who was a check where they're 233 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: running a tandem bicycle together, the playing cheesy music in 234 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: the background, literally speechless right now, you guys got up 235 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: in the morning. No, no, not the morning, late afternoon. 236 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: It's six thirty and market Mark says the word literally 237 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: almost every sentence, but in this case he was telling 238 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: the absolute truth. We have not been outdoors because the 239 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: two hotels are connected since Sunday afternoon. At this point 240 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: it is Tuesday night, and I suggested, I think we'd 241 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: feel a little bit better with a little exercise, and 242 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: maybe if you guys could take this advice, your life 243 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: would be a little better as well. We need we 244 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: need the romantic comedy music montage in the background with 245 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: like cliffs of them feeding each other ice creams. Uh. Well. 246 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: By the way, we were inspired by the fact that 247 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: as we were walking back from the media area to 248 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: our rooms, uh, we passed Chip Kelly, who I believe 249 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: with his son. We thought someone looked Chip Kelly. Yes, 250 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: he was in like type jogging shorts walking around. So 251 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: we thought, listen, if this guy can take time out 252 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: of whatever his schedule is. I don't think he needs 253 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: to be wearing. I don't think anybody's making fun of 254 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: you jogging. I think it's the fact that you were 255 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: jogging together better better with other people. Tomorrow's point would win. 256 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: You would be in the top five of the sneaky 257 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: in shape and you're not a pleasant surprise. I listen, 258 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: all right, So Sessanthal was the one name and the 259 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: other one, the other one I had in mind was 260 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: Grack and that would be g R A C C. 261 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: I like, how about Rosler? We decided that was before 262 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: you guys go, and I'm again I'm rocked by the 263 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: jogging thing. That's gonna take some while to like, really, um, 264 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: can you give us a brief rundown greg Or? Or 265 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: maybe I should, And then you guys could chime in 266 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: and some of the new rules round up. Um. The 267 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: first up, the Patriots proposal to extend the goal post 268 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: five feet has passed. It is such a day that 269 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: so many kids and myself and Adam Carolla fans have 270 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: been dreaming up for years ago. You know, he had 271 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: this dream. Uh and the dream went through me and 272 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: it's meant so much, and now it's here. It's like 273 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: it was. It's pretty anating that of all the Belichick proposals, 274 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: this is the one to a pass. We talked to 275 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett after and he and he he kind of 276 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to go into detail that much of the 277 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: rule stuff, but he said this one passed very easily. 278 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: There was almost no discussion about it, right because it's 279 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: a no brainerd have been years now. They comes up 280 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: there like, oh yeah, of course, are they visit the 281 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: post getting longer or are they going with the lasers? 282 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: They're going to extend it five feet a little higher? Guys, 283 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be shooting a second the laser sound 284 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: effects soak in first, go ahead send you don't just 285 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: talk over that. I like that. I don't know what 286 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: the explosions though, all right, go ahead posts. I mean 287 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: I think the explosions in the sound effects really say 288 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: at all. Now, now it's onto my next PET project. 289 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: Oh you're gonna have a next PET I thought you 290 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: were gonna be like Alexander the Great and sit down 291 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: and cry because you had no world's left to conquer. Well, 292 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: this one was was a great victory, and I think 293 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: it'll change the face the NFL. Next is gonna be tougher. 294 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: It's my scheduling proposal to play an NFL game at 295 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: least one, possibly to every night from September through December. 296 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: Mark Cuban will not like that. For those who cover 297 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: the game. By the way, all right, I'm gonna go 298 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: through some other rules here. The Navarro bowman rule was past. 299 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: That is the rule that will allow officials to make 300 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: the covery of a loose ball in the field to 301 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: play a reviewable call. That makes sense. The game clock 302 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: will now continue. There's another rule. The game clock will 303 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: now continue after quarterback sack outside two minutes. I had 304 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: no idea that the clock had stopped at some point 305 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: and in the time of this game. Uh, let's see 306 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: failed proposals. All let's see, Sorry, Greg. The Patriots suggestion 307 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: that allow all plays to be reviewed not happening the Redskins. 308 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: The Redskins wanted personal fouls reviewed not happening. The proposal 309 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: to move a kickoff to the forty was shot down. Also, 310 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: the extra point proposal by your boy Belichick to move 311 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: the extra point back to that failed. But they're gonna 312 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: experiment with it in the preseason, So you know, those 313 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: are the kind of like the big takeaways from that. 314 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: Anything else, guys, A bunch of things were tabled, like 315 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: putting the cameras on the goal line in the sideline. 316 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: They're they're gonna vote on that later. I think there's 317 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: a chance that that eventually gets done. That's common sense 318 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: to me. A couple of the roster proposals to make 319 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: the practice spot bigger and bigger rosters on Thursday night, 320 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: that was tabled so later. What do you guys think 321 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: of the extra point kind of experiment that they're gonna try. 322 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: I think we talked about this in the last part 323 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: previous podcast. What's their experiment? We know the accuracy on 324 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: a thirty five or forty yard field goal, it's probably 325 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: gonna be around. There's your experiment. Yeah, I hate it. 326 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: On the data way, either do it or don't. Do it. 327 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: This doesn't make sense. I don't know why you need. 328 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: It's like the concept that they're gonna be so cautious 329 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: that is, we're gonna take two preseason games to try 330 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: to put this in the lab. I don't know who 331 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: that's sold on, because, as West says, it's such a 332 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: home run that these kicks are essentially good at a 333 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: high percentage, it's a little bit conservative. Al Right, guys, 334 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: thank you very much again for joining us. One second 335 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: before you go, yes, are you guys gonna go challenge 336 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: the kids to play battle pedal pedal on us? Now? 337 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: Is that what you're gonna so you can stay outside? 338 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: That would be of use in our eighties montage, along 339 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: with perhaps jumping slowly out of a pool. Honestly, the 340 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: only thing I took away from this phone call is 341 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: the jogging thing that will live forever as an image 342 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: in my mind. Thank you, gentlemen, and I have a 343 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: safe flight. We'll see if you'd will jogging together. Listen, 344 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with living a healthy lifestyle, and we 345 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, we should all try to to do that, 346 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: But when you when you step onto that asphalt together, 347 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of next level stuff. Picturing them in like 348 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: hot pink tank tops, by the way, amazing. Alright, alright, 349 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: gold standard. Let's get let's get through some other news. 350 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Some sad news that came out of 351 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday. Buffalo Bills owner Ralph 352 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: Wilson Jr. Died at the age of ninety five. Wilson, 353 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 1: of course, owned the Bills for uh many years and 354 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: was an original founder of the a f L, one 355 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: of the original owners, a member of what was known 356 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: as the Foolish Club. A lot of people thought the 357 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: a f L would fail up against the mighty NFL, 358 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: but obviously that was not the case. Uh one of 359 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: the league's pillars. And now he is has passed away. 360 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: And I guess if you get away from it a 361 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: little bit, um, this this really the Wilson family. They 362 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: are not keeping the team, They're gonna sell it. And 363 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: then the questions are are the Bills going to remain 364 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: in Buffalo? I mean that is that is the big 365 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: question now facing that franchise and the Bills are everything 366 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: up there? Almost all moves in the history of the 367 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: NFL relocations have been stadium related. The NFL's policy now 368 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: requires any owner to act in good faith and bargaining 369 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: good faith with the eat to see that a suitable 370 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: stadium gets built. That will be the next event on 371 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: the horizon here. I imagine if the Bills do move 372 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: out of Buffalo, it will be the longest any team 373 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: has been in one city and then ended up moving. 374 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: They've been there since nineteen sixty. Ralph Wilson originally was 375 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: a minority partner with the Lions and tried to go 376 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: to Miami, but they didn't have a stadium in Miami, 377 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: so he ended up in Buffalo, ended up spending the 378 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: rest of his life there for fifty four years. So 379 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: that's a long time to be in one city and 380 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: then uprooted. I would I would imagine they stay there. 381 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: He he really is the reason that they stayed so long. 382 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: His I mean, his family has already said they're gonna 383 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 1: sell the team that and to the highest bidder. So 384 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: whether that highest bidder wants to stay in a market 385 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: like Buffalo, what or I mean there's a chance that 386 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: a Toronto corporation could buy it move it across the border. 387 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: If if Buffalo Buffalo's however, if they want to look 388 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: on the bright side, market doesn't mean as much in 389 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: the NFL it that does in other sports, And it 390 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean as much into a's NFL as it did 391 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: twenty years ago because so much of the money now 392 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: comes from TV and internet. But is that? But so 393 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: now is it on the Bills fans to make sure 394 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: they sell out every game next year and support the 395 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: team to show, like a potential owner, new owner, that hey, 396 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: we're gonna come, We're gonna spend money at your state. 397 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna come down to attendance. It's 398 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: gonna come down to whether a new stadium gets built right. 399 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: And you know, Wilson was such a major figure there, 400 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: and you know, let's let's let's call it what it is. 401 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if they were to leave Buffalo, to me, 402 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: that would be a disgrace. I mean, you don't need 403 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: to move every franchise to a big market like West 404 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: is saying. You know that it could thrive in small markets. 405 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: Look at the Green Bay Packers. So hopefully whoever does 406 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: by the team does right by Ralph Wilson Jr. Because 407 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: he left behind a great legacy. Moving on the Eagles, 408 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, some news always news out of Philadelphia 409 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: right now in Orlando, we learned early Wednesday morning that 410 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: Evan Mathis the guard who really had a breakout season 411 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen. UM, the Eagles have made it 412 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: be known that Mathis is available via trade. According to 413 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: NFL media insider Ian Rappaport, and matthis has been placed 414 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: on the trade block due to his high salary of 415 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: five million five point one five million and the fact 416 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: that the thirty two year old is seeking a new 417 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: deal after a strong season. So I guess what if 418 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: you if you're an impact player on the Eagles and 419 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: you ask for a raise, is that your quick ticket 420 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: out of town automatically done? Son? I mean, Matt Mathis 421 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: is not a young guy, but he would probably have 422 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: a nice market if they put him on the block. 423 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: In earnest right has been Pro Football Focuses number one 424 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: ready guard for I think three years running now, and yeah, 425 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: I think as one of those players where the dichotomy 426 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: between Pro football focuses ranks in NFL teams ranks shows up. 427 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: I don't think Evan Mathis has probably be a Pro 428 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: Bowl level talent, but he's not quite as dominant as 429 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus makes him out to be and the 430 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: fact that the Eagles would trade him at five point 431 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: one five million is kind of evident of that. And 432 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: also Chip Kelly at the NFL NFC Breakfast in Orlando 433 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: sidestepped that the Sean Jackson comments, but I thought the 434 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: quote he had it was interesting. He said, I like 435 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: the Sean, but we're always going to do what's best 436 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: for the organization. Uh. He said he has no issue 437 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: with the Sean, but you know when he says that 438 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: we're always going to do what's best for the organization, 439 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: this still, to me seems like it's going down a 440 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: certain road, even if the Sean Jackson uh seems to 441 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: think he might not be going anywhere. All of it, 442 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: to me says that they're in backpedal mode because they 443 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: still want somebody to give them a third round pick 444 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: to trade for him. They they want to make it 445 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: seem now that they are willing to keep him, that 446 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: they have no problem, that it's a media driven problem, 447 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: and they're just asking another team to pony before they 448 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: cut him and make it seem like they're not going 449 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: to cut him. Yeah. I mean, this is what teams 450 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: do and players. They blame the media when there's something 451 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: actually going on here. Every national and local outlet has 452 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: reported these trades. I mean, the media didn't make it 453 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: all up. It came from the Eagles. Right. Moving on, 454 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: Jared Allen has a job. You know what, Wes, I 455 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: think we could breathe easy, because there was a time 456 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: when I was worried that Jared Allen might not get 457 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: the multimillion dollar contract that he's so richly deserved and 458 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: would be forced to head into the cold wilderness. But no, Wes, 459 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: Jared Allen and the Chicago Bears on Wednesday struck a 460 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: four year, thirty two million dollar contract. The team announced 461 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: it on Wednesday. Uh, this gives the Bears. They were, 462 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, looking to upgrade their pass rusher. Already got 463 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Houston. Now you get Jared Allen, who could really 464 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: you plug him in at where Julius Pepper's role is, 465 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: and the guy has proven over the last decade he 466 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: gets to the quarterback. Seems like a really smart move 467 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: and one that kind of came out of They got 468 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Willie Young too, yes, they And that's the interesting thing. 469 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: Like Willie Young, I think thought he was going to 470 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: start and no, sorry sir, but I think the three 471 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: of them upgrade that pass rush immediately, Shae McClellan moving 472 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: back to linebacker, where he probably should have been the 473 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: whole time. I think that the rotation between the three 474 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: of them, and you talk about Jared Allen's age, and 475 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: he still played. I mean, he played much better than 476 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: Peppers did last year on tape, so I still think 477 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: he has some productivity there. But I think that getting 478 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: those three in the rotation, Willie Young's never really been 479 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: in Detroit. At least he showed a lot of flash, 480 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: but he was never an every down player, so he 481 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: can kind of go back to that role again, so 482 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: I think. And so I think the Bears, whether while 483 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: cost him a lot in the short term, I think 484 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: in the long running, I've been assuming Lamar Houston slides 485 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: into the three technique tackle role. Well there you go, 486 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: then the role that Henry Milton was supposed to play. 487 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: So they're upgraded tremendously on the on the defensive line. 488 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: I think it's a great deal. Alan. You know, there 489 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 1: were there's the belief that he's maybe a step slower 490 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: than he was a couple of years ago, but this 491 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: is guy's just turning thirty two. The contract voids after 492 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: three years and twenty four millions, so you're not hung 493 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: up too deep into his mid thirties. Makes a lot 494 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: of sense to me, especially a Bears team that seems 495 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: to be um pretty close to being bumped into that 496 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: group of true contenders in the NFC. I think they 497 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: just got better. Yeah, I think they should compete with 498 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: the Packers have to be considered the favorites, but the 499 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: Bears should be right there in competition. Well, what this 500 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: also tells me is that the Bears brass basically said, 501 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: we're not gonna we haven't upgraded the secondary very much, 502 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: so we better get after the quarterback because M D. 503 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: Jennings to me, I'm sorry, and he's not the free 504 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: agent solution at safety, at least to me. So this 505 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: tells me that we gotta get off the quarterback at far. 506 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: Secondary isn't going to be much improved upon last year. 507 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: Moving on West, I thought we needed to touch on this. 508 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: On Tuesday night, I was sitting at the desk, UH 509 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: came across some quotes from Raiders GM Reggie Mackenzie. I 510 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: know we we gave the Raiders, as did a lot 511 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: of people, a lot of grief for UH left tackle 512 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: Jared veld Here and Lamar Houston letting them out of 513 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: the building. Those are homegrown guys. And according to McKenzie 514 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: and West, I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Uh, 515 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't an issue of not being able to realize 516 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: these are guys you wanted in the building. It was 517 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: an issue of these guys didn't want anything to do 518 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: with the Raiders. Here's the quote. Uh. He was asked 519 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: by Vic Tarfer of the Bay Area Newsgroup if uh 520 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: the botched Roger Saffold signing was a setback that hurt 521 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: the Raiders and the mackenzie pointed it back to beld 522 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Here and said, no, it really wasn't a setback. The 523 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: setback was the one that got away from us. Losing 524 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: veld Here was a blow to me. He didn't want 525 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: to come back. It wasn't about finances. The kid didn't 526 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: want to play for the Raiders Raiders anymore and I 527 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: struggled with that. And then regarding Lamar Houston, he said 528 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: that Houston was quote in the same boat as veld Here, 529 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: but was quote a little more sincere about wanting to 530 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: come back. In the end, it's the players decision. Do 531 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: we give him cut him any slack that these two 532 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: players didn't want to be Raiders. I could sort of 533 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: see both sides of this. I understand why they don't 534 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: want to be Raiders to be in a forever rebuilding mode. 535 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: And uh, part of that quote, Lamar Houston said he 536 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: wanted to go play with a team with a quarterback. 537 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: So I understand that. But Reggie Mackenzie, I could see 538 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: a lot of other general managers saying, sorry, but you're stuck. 539 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: We'll whip out the franchise, Tagg and you're here. Yeah. 540 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: If he if he felt that way, why didn't he 541 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: just tag him pack tag one of them? Lamar Houston, 542 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: If if there was any inkling that he might be 543 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: not be a pain if he came back, why wouldn't 544 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: you just tagging if you really did want it? Sounds 545 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: like it's about the principle. Reggie Mackenzie wants you to 546 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: be happy and eager to play for the Oakland Raiders, 547 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: right and the Yeah, the biggest problem for Mackenzie, if 548 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: this is true, is how do you change the culture. 549 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: Why is it the case that you have these guys 550 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: that should a lot of guys when they're drafted into 551 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: an organization, They get comfortable, they like it there, even 552 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: though the team maybe isn't hasn't thrived. But for whatever reason, 553 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: there's a culture in Oakland where guys don't want to 554 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: be there that needs to be changed. We'll take it further. 555 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: He can. You do you really believe Justin Tuck, Lamar 556 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: Woodley and Austin Howard really were dying to play for 557 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders They went where the most money was that 558 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: That could also explain why he paid those guys too, 559 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: because he wanted to change you want, I mean, people 560 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: would wouldn't mind playing along with the Charles Woodson or 561 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: Justin Tuck in the future, not not this year obviously, 562 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: but in the future. But and he he he didn't 563 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: tell Bill Dear in Houston that he was gonna go 564 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: out and get Matt Shop. That wasn't everything, obviously everything. 565 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: All right, that's it for news, gentlemen. I was thinkings 566 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: you wrote a post on Tuesday about the Cowboys situation. 567 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, a team owner, um was asked if the 568 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys would be ready to kind of conceive the NFC 569 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: East under the under the umbrella of this is a 570 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: rebuilding situation now in Dallas because they've lost some key players. 571 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: And Jerry Jones said, no, not at all. You don't 572 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: rebuild with Tony Romo. Got me thinking, think about a 573 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: transaction or a trade or or a draft move that 574 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: will never happen just because these things don't happen in 575 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, but would actually make some sense if if 576 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: the team's ever had the guts to do it. So 577 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go around the room. I'm gonna go to West. 578 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Kevin Patrick coming at you. Let me 579 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: bring up the rear. I've got one that might bring 580 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: the house down, build up, all right, So you're on 581 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: deck Patrick, I'll start, how about Tony Romo doesn't have 582 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: to be part of the Cowboys future. You trade your 583 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: quarterback and you cash in on what you would think, 584 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: even though the salary could be prohibitive in a trade. 585 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: He's a star quarterback. Cash in on that, You get 586 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: the pick, You rebuild the right way, none of this 587 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: halfway in, halfway out stuff. Romo's thirty threes and a 588 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: win now situation. You trade him, you get a whole 589 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: bounty bounty load of picks, and you build it the 590 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: right way. In Jerry Jones, who is now seventies, probably 591 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: last few years or last decade to really build a 592 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: championship contender. How how insane is that? Pretty instant? Where 593 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: is Romo getting traded again? Where's the bounty full of pis? 594 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to know. If this uh he's 595 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: now handing off to Adrian Peterson, Listen that I didn't. 596 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: I didn't I put him in Arizona for in place 597 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: of Carson Palmer. That's a super Bowl team, the Tony 598 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: Romo there. I don't. Well, it depends what you think 599 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: about to your point about it, it's not gonna happen, 600 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: isn't this Jerry Jones is saying it's because of Romo? 601 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: But isn't it because of Jerry Jones doesn't want to rebuild? Well, 602 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: I can see why he would not want to rebuild 603 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: with Romeo. He's still a top twelve NFL quarterback and 604 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: he's still a good player. If you have a quarterback, 605 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: you have to try to win. But I'm just saying 606 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that Jerry Jones would ever want to 607 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: use the words rebuilding in Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, I think 608 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: he ever would want to admit to that. At least 609 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a fair point. What kind of value 610 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: do you think Tony Romo would get on the open 611 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: market for a trade third round pick? Really, second round pick? Maybe, 612 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think anybody's giving up a 613 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: first round pick for a mid thirties quarterback coming off 614 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: back surgery with a pretty big I mean, he's not 615 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: mid thirties yet, and curious isn't look at his numbers. 616 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't he thirty four? I think he's thirty 617 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: three age thirty three season, he comes with a twenty 618 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: million dollar contract, there could be an issue. Well, listen, 619 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm throwing it out there. I think it would make 620 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: some sense. I think the Cowboys that would lead to 621 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: panic in Arlington, but ultimately it might be a smarter 622 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: way to rebuild with the young players they do have. 623 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna pass it over to Kevin Patrock. Now 624 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: your turn. I was that I was trying to go 625 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: away from being typecast as the Lions only guy by 626 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: our boss usually. But you know what, everyone on Twitter 627 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: is kind of getting annoying with the old Sammy Watkins 628 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: thing the Lions trading up. So I'm gonna have the 629 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: Lions trade up to the number two pick with the 630 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: Rams and draft Sammy Watkins because putting him on the 631 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: field with Golden Tate and Megatron with Matthew Stafford and 632 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: you've got a good offensive line and you have two 633 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: good running backs. I mean, I don't see how you 634 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: stop that offense. That that is fantasy football talk, but 635 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: I kind of like that. Can you imagine just saying 636 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: we don't care, We're going to score forty points a week. 637 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: That's our goal, score forty points a week, and if 638 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: we get outscored, we get outscored, sort of like the 639 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: cold Sold approach with Bill poo and we need to 640 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: add a new weapon for Peyton Manning every single year. Now. 641 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it will happen because I don't think 642 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: Mayhew's gonna give up picks. But I would make the 643 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: argument that his second round picks never uh pan out anyway. 644 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: But it's the jury still out on Darius Slay last year. 645 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: But you look at la Shore Delmas, who he got. 646 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: He didn't really didn't want to resign. He cut Titis 647 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,439 Speaker 1: young m If you're not gonna use it second round 648 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: pick anyway, you might as well trade it, give it up. 649 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: The first and second round pick this year, maybe a 650 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: second round pick next year. Get that number two overall 651 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: and the way we go, because I don't think Watkins 652 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: is making it past the Raiders at three or the 653 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: Jags at three, the Raiders, the Browns, the Bucks. I mean, 654 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: he's not getting there anyway. So I don't, right, how 655 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: good is Sammy Watkins. He's very good. He's athletic, he's quick, 656 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: he can, he high points the ball him. Mike Evans 657 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: might be a better high pointer than he than Sammy is. 658 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: But I think at this this stage, Sammy Watson is 659 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: a better What kind of what receiver is he most like? 660 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: In the NFL. I'm not gonna go there. You must 661 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: go there. I'm not going to leave the studio. Oh No, 662 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: I was just kidding. Yeah, I keep hearing like a 663 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: maybe a better version of Tory Smith. I think he's 664 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: better than Tory. Yeah, better version. It better be a 665 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: much better version of Yeah, he's good, All right, West, 666 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: that was good. Patrick. You know you come in here? 667 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: Are you coming from Chicago? Got a crazy beard? But 668 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: you came in and he made some salt. He's got 669 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: to bring the beard to the I mean, nobody in 670 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: the studio where's the beard? You cannot do it. Greg's 671 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: probably still got the razor from his burn mitzvah. So 672 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: it's true. I mean there's no west says he could 673 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 1: grow a beard. I believe him. You're a rugged man. 674 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: Sessler doesn't. He's not a beard type. Uh standard, definitely, 675 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: not even even Damna check you know Rich Yeah, No, nobody, 676 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 1: nobody in Studio SI using Studio sixty six is gold 677 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: Center has a little bit of a beer, but it's smart, awkward, 678 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: middle school or patche thing right now? Yeah, all right, 679 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: Chris Westling blow us away. Okay. Remember right after the 680 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: Bengals failed again in the playoffs, an owner Mike Brown 681 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: distanced himself from Andy Dalton and said, you know what, 682 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to draft Colin Kaepernick, but Jay grew didn't 683 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: wanted Andy Dalton to fit his offense. Andy Dalton first 684 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: round pick this year since the Redskins are missing the 685 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: first round pick, a second round pick next year for 686 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: r G three Wow three, And so the Redskins get 687 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: a quarterback the one that Jay Gruden drafted himself, a 688 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: first round pick to replace their missing first round pick. 689 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: A second round pick next year. The Bengals get a 690 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: dynamic quarterback that puts them clearly in the driver's seat 691 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: in the a f C. North that's a good one. 692 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: Who says no, I'd imagine the Redskins the Bengals would 693 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: have to have more draft picks, do you think? Don't 694 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: you think Jake rudin though secretly he'd never say this, 695 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: of course, but he jumped out of the uh jumped 696 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: off the Andy Dalton bandwagon just in time before a 697 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: kareemed off the road, Like he has to get the 698 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: feeling that maybe he got everything to get out of 699 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: that guy and instead he would make a trade to 700 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: bring that guy back behind him. That would be a 701 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 1: little shaky. I don't think he thinks that. I think 702 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: Mike Brown, if you listened to his comments at the 703 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: meetings this week, was a little shaky on his support 704 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: of Andy Dalton. Marvin Lewis was fully supporting Andy Dalt, 705 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: but Mike Brown was like, yeah, we got a little 706 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: bit of a problem here, right. I think Jake Gruden 707 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: has always supported Dalton and has always really liked him 708 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: and thinks he's perfect for his offense. I r G three, 709 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: to me is one of the most fascinating figures entering 710 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: the season seeing what version of that guy shows up, 711 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: because people forget it now because it was such a 712 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: horrible nightmare season and he was in the in the 713 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: press constantly and was always for a negative reason, but 714 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: that I was so special when he was um a 715 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: rookie and he went on. He had this that stretch 716 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: of play before he hurt his knee where he was 717 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: just outrageous on almost weekly basis. I don't know if 718 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: we'll ever see that guy, but if you give him 719 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: the full see that guy again in terms of that 720 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: speed and that ability in the pocket. Just because team's 721 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: adjusted and he's had another major knee surgery, but if 722 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: he gets a full offseason to get his mechanics right, 723 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: he could be a guy that doesn't he seem like 724 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: somebody that Hugh Jackson would rather work with in Andy 725 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: Dalton absolutely, but also to Dan's point, I don't think 726 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: you would be surprised by either his continual downslope or 727 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: him coming back and being phenomenal again. I don't think 728 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: either for r G three would be he don't even 729 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: need to play out this season. Just give him the 730 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: Comeback Player of the Year award. Right now, it's going, 731 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Yeah, no, it seems the stars 732 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: seem aligned, and I hope it happens because he was 733 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,240 Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch that first year. All right, gentlemen, 734 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: good work Kevin Patrick. You you really did a good 735 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: job here in the studio.

You know, I think you 742 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: earned your keep for another episode. It's well done. But 743 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: it was mostly the be anecdote about being a high 744 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: school coach, gotta get gotta get in early. You always 745 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: did have that glow about you and being like a 746 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: leader of tomorrow's leaders.
