1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two. 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: On this Tuesday, Dan and the Danist Dan Patrick Show 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: come on in stay a while, spend a lot of time, 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: maybe too much time, talking about one report that came 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 2: out about Shudor Sanders being arrogant and brash in one 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 2: of the interviews at the combine. Also, we have a 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 2: couple of draft analysts, including Matt Miller from the Mothership. 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: He'll join us. He said the following that he hasn't 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: heard anyone talk with conviction about Shudor as quarterback one 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 2: in the top ten or even as a first rounder. 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 2: He'll explain coming up in about twenty minutes from now. 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: While we were having this conversation about Shador Sanders and 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: is it kind of a smear campaign or keep in 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: mind it's only one team that said this off the record, 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: so you don't even know which team feels this way. 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: Peter King got a hold of Fritzy. Peter will join 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: us coming up here in a moment and get his 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: thoughts on this conversation. Eight seven seven three DP Show 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: Warriors at the Knicks Coming up tonight. Kyrie Irving got 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: injured last night, the same day the MAVs decided to 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 2: raise ticket prices. The thunder dropped, the Rockets shake Gilgis, 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: Alexander goes for fifty again, fourth time this year. You 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: can't spell tag without tea. The Bengals have tagged T 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: Higgins and I don't think he's too happy about that. 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: He hired I believe Jamar Chase's agent, So how about that? 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: Maybe I don't. You're not gonna get a bargain because 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is probably feels like he's going to want 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: a number in the starts with a four with his contract. 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: And it goes back to these owners when if you 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: make the move earlier, you say yourself from making a 33 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: bigger mistake later. Look at the Cowboys could have signed 34 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: up Dak earlier. Now you got Michael Parsons and his 35 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: number is going to probably start with a four. They 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: already had to overspend with CD Lamb because they waited. 37 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: And I'm sure that there's you know, salary cap issues 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: or timing issues, all of that, but it feels like 39 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: owners weight. If Michael Parsons is a sure thing, then 40 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: can you pay him something commensurate to what Miles Garrett 41 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: gets or you know TJ. Watt. Now he's gonna want 42 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: more than those guys, Ced Lamb, could you have gotten 43 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: him for a little less? I believe so. Dak Prescott. 44 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: I think Dak Prescott's cap hit or number is like 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: ninety million dollars this upcoming season, like something like crazy, 46 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: and he's the highest paid quarterback. Feels like you could 47 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: have gotten that done earlier. If you're going to sign him, 48 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: then sign him earlier. It's not like you go, you 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: know what, let me wait one more now. I agree 50 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray, I would have waited one more year, Like 51 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: there's quarterbacks that I go, I'd like to see one 52 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: more year with you. Yeah, Paulin, you exaggerated a little bit. 53 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: Dan Prescott's cap hit is eighty nine million, nine hundred thousand, 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 3: damn very very cool. 55 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: But I'm sure that you know Jerry Jones, brilliant businessman 56 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: that he can he can rectify this. I mean, Michael Parsons, 57 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna want a four. Jamar Chase is 58 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: gonna want to four. But I mean that second contract, 59 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: if you've decided or you go, you know what, that 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: guy's probably the best receiver in the game, then why 61 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: don't you sign him up? But you almost get to 62 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: feeling these owners like, damn, that guy turned out to 63 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: be really good, and now I gotta pay him. Michael 64 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Parsons is really good. Now I gotta pay him. Jamar Chase, 65 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: he turned out to be really good. But these guys, 66 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: these non quarterbacks, man o, man o, man, they are 67 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: creeping up, creeping up on the quarterbacks there, all right, 68 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: eight seven seven to three, DP show email address Dpadanpatrick 69 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: dot com, Twitter handle at dp show seat and poll. 70 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: Question for hour two is going to be one. 71 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: Let me update you here on our one first Dan, 72 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 4: which percentage of pre draft news do you believe your 73 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: options are one hundred percent, seventy five. 74 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: Point fifty or twenty five? 75 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: All right, right up, people, fifty three percent of the 76 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 4: audience believe twenty five percent of the news. 77 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: All right, Well, you do try to separate fact from fiction, 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: but you know that's difficult sometimes, even when you're a 79 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: great reporter like Peter King. Peter King formerly with NBC 80 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: Sports and the Monday Morning Quarterback and well retirement and 81 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: now look at him. A contributor to the Dan Patrick 82 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: show here, not sk but great seeing you Pete. What 83 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: riled you up? 84 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 5: Dan? 85 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 6: I was just walking the dog. I was just walking 86 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 6: Chuck here in Brooklyn, and I was listening to your 87 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 6: show with all of the falderol around Shaduur Sanders and 88 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 6: I don't know, I just I just wanted to address 89 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 6: a few things. And I'm you know, I said to Todd, said, 90 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 6: happy to talk to Dan off the air. But I mean, 91 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 6: there's just a few things, like, for instance, wearing the 92 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 6: hat backwards. The coach of the Year in the NFL 93 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 6: this year was Dan Quinn. He wears his hat backwards. 94 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 6: I think it looks a little bit twenty one ish, 95 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 6: but that's the way Dan Quinn likes to wear his hat. 96 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 6: Who cares. That's one Number two. Dion Sanders. I remember 97 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 6: this specifically in nineteen eighty nine when he was in 98 00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 6: the draft and he came out like Gangbusters time time cover. 99 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: Of SI. 100 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 6: You know, being very very counter NFL culture. And over 101 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 6: the years one of the things that I grew to 102 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 6: respect incredibly about Dion Sanders is that he knew that 103 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 6: a cornerback in the NFL was not going to make 104 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 6: Troy Aikman Barry Sanders money unless he wasn't just your average, 105 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 6: everyday great player in the draft, and so he made 106 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 6: himself into something that he knew would make him more money. 107 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 6: And he was smart. And look, I have no idea. 108 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 6: I didn't go to the Combine. I don't cover the 109 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 6: NFL right now, so I don't know anything. Okay, I 110 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 6: just know this that the Shadeur Sanders who met teams 111 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 6: at the Combine, he probably probably can basically play the 112 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 6: game the way he and his dad think is best 113 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 6: for him. Like, let's just say that Dion and Shadour 114 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 6: believe that I don't go to Cleveland. Man, it is 115 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 6: a graveyard. And so when you go into Cleveland, when 116 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 6: you go into your meeting with Cleveland, you don't have 117 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 6: to say, oh, man, I'd love to go to Cleveland. 118 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 6: Here's what I'll do. I'm going to help you change 119 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 6: your culture. 120 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: All that. 121 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 6: Suppose he's just a little bit passive and or you 122 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 6: seem like he does he seems like he doesn't care. 123 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 6: And again, look, I come from the stance that I 124 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 6: know nothing other than what I've read a little bit 125 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 6: on social media, and I don't so I don't have 126 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 6: any firsthand knowledge of this, and Dan, I think the 127 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 6: one last thing I would say is that, you know, 128 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 6: you talk about guys who are arrogant maybe and you 129 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 6: talk about you know, like a Marino or Brady. You know, 130 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: you can be any way you want when you win, 131 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 6: any way you want. And there's something about the fire 132 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 6: from Dan Marino. You know the day I covered in 133 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 6: ninety one or ninety two, maybe ninety five, I forget 134 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 6: when it was Dan Marino broke Fran Tarkenton's all time 135 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 6: record for passing yards in his career and they lost 136 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 6: the game. Harvey Green, the PR guy, goes up to 137 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 6: Dan Marino after the game and says, here, hands them 138 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 6: a stat sheet from the game, figuring that he said, 139 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 6: you know, I figure you might want to have this, 140 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 6: keep saying and Marino looks at it. 141 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 7: He goes. 142 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 6: And he wasn't being a jerk to Harvey Green. He 143 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 6: just said, we just lost the fen football game. I 144 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 6: don't give two blanks about stats and about records, you know, 145 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 6: and so those things are okay. 146 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: But all I'm saying is that, and is. 147 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 6: That the narrative? 148 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 4: You know? 149 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 6: I think the player has a chance to control before 150 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 6: the draft, and has anybody thought that maybe Shador Sanders 151 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 6: is just trying to control his own narrative. 152 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned that maybe he doesn't want to go 153 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: to Cleveland if that's the team. We don't know the team, 154 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: and maybe he's like, hey, I can be arrogant because 155 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 2: I don't want you to draft me. You know, there's agendas. 156 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: We understand that, and you know, as reporters, I'm sure 157 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: you're fed information sometimes by somebody who has an agenda, 158 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: and whether you see through it or not, but you 159 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: know who benefits from Shadoor Sanders falling out of the 160 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: first round. A couple other quarterbacks could benefit from that, 161 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: or a team may want to get him at a 162 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: cheaper price. You know how this works, Pete, he did 163 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: it for over forty years. Where people have agendas and 164 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: maybe that's what it is. But you know, to be 165 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: called arrogant, is that that's that's We're okay with cocky, confident, brash, arrogant, 166 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: arrogant probably you know sounds some alarms for people, teams 167 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: And you know what. 168 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 6: I remember before the twenty I guess it was twenty 169 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 6: ten draft. That was the Cam Newton draft writer, or 170 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 6: was at twenty eleven whatever it was. But I remember 171 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 6: I interviewed Newton who was on a little bit of 172 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 6: a press tour, and at one point during the interview 173 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 6: he said to me, I want to be not just 174 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 6: a great quarterback, but you know, I want to be 175 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 6: an entertainer. And he used some other oh yeah words 176 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 6: that you say. Well, you know, boy, imagine a guy 177 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 6: who wants to be drafted very high in the draft 178 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 6: saying he the other word was icon. I just remembered it. 179 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: I want to be an icon and an entertainer. Well, 180 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 6: you know, and again I'm not I'm not saying that 181 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 6: that should be the death nel and certainly was it. 182 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 6: He was the first overall pick in the draft. But 183 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 6: I put out on Twitter and I wrote, some teams 184 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 6: are not going to like a quarterback saying I want 185 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 6: to be an icon and an entertainer. They're just not. 186 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 6: So some of the stuff that, you know, you have 187 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 6: to ask yourself if you were in an interview, a 188 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 6: fifteen minute interview with Dion Sanders and he is either 189 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 6: passive or looking at his watch, or it seems like 190 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 6: he doesn't care, a lot of people would say, don't 191 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 6: pay any attention, And I just look at his body 192 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 6: of work. 193 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 2: Well, hang on a minute, are you. 194 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 6: The one who's going to stake the future of your 195 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 6: franchise on a guy you're just really not too sure about? 196 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 6: And I'm not suggesting that people should or they shouldn't. 197 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 6: I'm just simply saying you'd you'd be naive to think 198 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 6: that that doesn't go into the pot of what you 199 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 6: considered doing with that pick, and that it shouldn't go 200 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 6: into it, because I think all things should go in 201 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 6: into the mixing bowl when you consider what you do. 202 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: Anytime you get riled up, Pete, you can always call in. Okay, 203 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: I'll give you an outlet, all right, Dan, that sounds 204 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: like fun than Thank you, Peter. That's the Hall of 205 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: Famer Peter King joining us. Glad we could entertain Pete 206 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: when he's on his walk here now in semi retirement. 207 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: Let's see Kevin in Austin. Hi, Kevin, what's on your 208 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: mind today? 209 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 7: BP? 210 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 8: Kevin. 211 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 9: I'll get to the point a little quicker. 212 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 7: Than at WARDO here. Peter basically stole my thunder. I 213 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 7: just all a conjecture with shador stuff and all that 214 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 7: stuff just wants the tape. Like Sean McVay said to you, yesterday. 215 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 7: But the real question I want to pose to the group, 216 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 7: and especially to the Minister of Humor, is could you 217 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 7: imagine if there was a combine for sportsbookers and Todd 218 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 7: had fit teen minutes to explain. 219 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 9: Himself, he would come off, that's out arrogant, and I'm 220 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 9: a little talkie. 221 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Kevin. I know about arrogant, certainly long 222 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: winded in not getting to the point that's true arrogant. Yeah, yeah, 223 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think you're although sometimes if we 224 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: push your buttons a little bit, then you know you're 225 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: very cocky. 226 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 8: I'll stop reciting my resume. 227 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've worked with places I've been. 228 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 8: I might do that a little bit. 229 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: Hawk in Phoenix, H Hawk, what's on your mind? And 230 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: Hawk can't. I can't hear you. David in Oklahoma? Hi, David, 231 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: what's on your mind today? 232 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 8: Hey David, what's up? 233 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 10: Dad. 234 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 11: I'm from the Oklahoma State University, and I would like 235 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 11: to say it's nice to hear Paul Harvey's voice on 236 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 11: the radio this morning in a while, because I heard 237 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 11: that guy. But as partner standards and a life ball 238 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 11: Raider fan and to I'll take him. I mean the 239 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 11: drama we bring anyways with like Henry Rose and Screwden 240 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 11: and everything else. We have a lot as well, like 241 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 11: what else we haven't won in twenty five years? Might 242 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 11: as well start from scratch and bring all that sweag, 243 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 11: all that beeping is try time? Why not man make 244 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 11: it exciting and vegas Like, wait, guys, not to dude. 245 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 11: There's no one on the free agent market that we 246 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 11: can use it the fridge quarterback and we've done that 247 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 11: for ten years, sixteen years now, I mean, go ahead 248 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 11: and go it all out there and move them. 249 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: Well, you might get that opportunity to get shoot or 250 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: because after that, you know, Vikings aren't going to franchise 251 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. He's going to be out there. Aaron Rodgers 252 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: needs a home. Atlanta says they're keeping Kirk Cousins, which 253 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: I get that. Kirk will be a wonderful mentor of 254 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: all the quarterbacks. Now he's getting guaranteed money too. That helps. 255 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: He's going to be a really, really, really expensive mentor. 256 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,359 Speaker 2: But you know, is Daniel Jones going to be available? 257 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: It starts to get a you know, Jimmy Garoppolo starts 258 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: to get a little dry when it comes to the 259 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: quarterback market there. That's why cam Ward and Shadoor Sanders 260 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: and Jackson Dart Jalen Millroe are probably more highly regarded 261 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: than they should be. But the market bears that out 262 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: there are no quarterbacks and you got teams that need quarterbacks. 263 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if cam Ward's a franchise quarterback, but 264 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: it certainly feels like he's going to be treated as such, 265 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: and maybe he goes number one overall. I don't know 266 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: if Shudoor Sanders is a franchise quarterback. I can only 267 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: go by and the person that I speak to, who's 268 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: an NFL scout, he said he would probably have a 269 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 2: better opinion next week, do his due diligence, because I 270 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: did reach out to him this morning. I'm like, where's 271 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: this coming from? And then he viewed it as this 272 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: is just sort of the this week, it's this guy. 273 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: Next week, it's going to be that guy. Next week, 274 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: it's going to be that guy. And it could be Shador, 275 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: then it could be cam then it could be Travis Hunter. 276 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: Oh do you want a guy who's going to play, 277 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: you know, demands to play both ways or you have 278 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: to pay him to salary. You know, these are the 279 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: things that are going to come up. Cam Ward, why 280 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: did he go to three different schools? I mean, whatever 281 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: it is, there's going to be a narrative here where 282 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: they try to break you down a little bit, and 283 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,239 Speaker 2: it happens every year, and it happens you see to quarterbacks. 284 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 2: We'll take a break. Coming up, we'll talk to Matt 285 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: Miller from the mother Ship. He sent a note to 286 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: Fritzie saying that that he has not heard anyone talk 287 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: with conviction about Shador Sanders even being a first rounder. 288 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: So we'll talk to Matt how he came to that 289 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: conclusion after. 290 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: This, Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup 291 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: in the name.

We had some comments that Trevor Sikima, 318 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: he is the lead draft analyst at Pro Football Focus, 319 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: and he sent Fritzy some talking points saying that he 320 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 2: has not heard anyone talk with conviction about Shudor Sanders 321 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 2: being a QB one in the top ten or even 322 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 2: as a first rounder. We attributed that to Matt Miller, ESPN, 323 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: NFL Draft analyst. So, Matt, I don't know, why don't 324 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 2: you tell us how you feel about Shudor Sanders. Do 325 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 2: you think he'll be a first round quarterback? 326 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 8: You can attribute that to me. I've heard all the 327 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 8: same things. I think all of us have, especially come 328 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 8: out of the combine, Dan, where you all kind of 329 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 8: everybody goes to the same three restaurants in Indianapolis and 330 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 8: talks late at night. We're all kind of hearing the 331 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 8: same stuff. But I would agree with that. I think 332 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 8: it's hard to find a team right now. This says, yeah, 333 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 8: that's our guy. Crazy. And I just put an article 334 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 8: out last week before the Combine, or during the combine actually, 335 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 8: and it was ranking the quarterbacks from the past five years. 336 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 8: Shudor Sanders was second to last. Kenny Pickett was the 337 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 8: only quarterback with a lower grade than him coming into 338 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 8: the NFL. So that is in line with what I've 339 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 8: seen watching the tape over the last years. Is what 340 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 8: I here talking to as many scouts and coaches and 341 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 8: general managers as I do this time of year, a 342 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 8: lot of people want to like Shadoor Sanders. I don't 343 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 8: get the feeling that teams love him not the way 344 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 8: that they do cam Ward. There's a sizeable gap right 345 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 8: now to where like it's I think you could easily 346 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 8: say this year there is a consensus number one quarterback, 347 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 8: which is rare that doesn't often happen. Even last year 348 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 8: with all the Caleb Williams love. There are teams that 349 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 8: like Jadon Daniels. There are teams that like Drake May. 350 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 8: We have a true consensus number one quarterback this year 351 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 8: and it's cam Ward from Miami. 352 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 2: Okay, is this just football that we're talking about with 353 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders. Now cam Ward, we can get to him 354 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: in a moment, But is there a smear cam pain 355 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 2: with Shador Sanders or are people just being honest with 356 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: the talent or you know, performance that they saw. 357 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 8: So I think it's both. I do think that it's 358 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 8: about football. He is six foot one. He put on 359 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 8: some weight for the combine. He got up to two 360 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 8: hundred and twelve pounds. He played closer to two hundred pounds. 361 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 8: He doesn't have the biggest arm. He's not the greatest 362 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 8: athlete I know. For folks who didn't watch Colorado play, 363 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 8: he might be Deon Sanders' son, But he got his 364 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 8: mom's feet right. He's not a four or three athlete, 365 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 8: but he is incredibly tough, and he's incredibly accurate, and 366 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 8: he's willing to stand in the pocket and make some place. 367 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 8: I do think on the other side of that is 368 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 8: there are going to be people that are gonna see 369 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 8: players differently. I've talked to young scouts who loved their 370 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 8: interviews with Shudor Sanders. I've talked to older scouts and 371 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 8: general managers who were put off by him. And I 372 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 8: think that's going to be the case for a lot 373 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 8: of the new era of athlete coming into the NFL, 374 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 8: where guys are making millions of dollars in college football now, 375 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 8: it has prepared them for life a little differently, and 376 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 8: so I think you are going to get a disconnect. 377 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 8: I tend to not put a ton of stock into 378 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 8: those quotes from scouts and gms of oh, we didn't 379 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 8: like this interview. It's different if everyone tells you the 380 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 8: same thing. I remember asking about Will Levis, and everyone 381 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 8: I talked to said the same thing, was like, this 382 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 8: guy is just like pent up, like he's trying to 383 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 8: be a perfectionist. He's not smooth, he's not fluid. The 384 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 8: conversations feel like he's gonna have a heart attack. Well, 385 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 8: guess what, he plays the same way on the football field. 386 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 8: So that's when I think it matters, is when those 387 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 8: interviews match with a play style. She dore is a 388 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 8: hell of a player. There's just there's not that love 389 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 8: for him out there right now in the NFL. 390 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: Is cam Ward being elevated because there is no competition 391 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 2: so he might? 392 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 8: Absolutely? 393 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, absolutely. 394 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 8: If we were talking about last year's drafts, cam Ward 395 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 8: would have been the sixth or seventh guy drafted, probably 396 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 8: at quarterback, not overall, at quarterback, and that might still 397 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 8: make you a top ten pick, right because those guys 398 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 8: flew up the board last year. But I do think 399 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 8: he's being elevated. It is interesting both quarterbacks Sanders and Ward, 400 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 8: they have some bad habits that are gonna need coach 401 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 8: out of them. Pam Ward's kind of get dismissed because 402 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 8: he has a strong arm. It's like, well, you know, 403 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 8: he stands in the pocket way too long. He takes 404 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 8: a lot of sacks he doesn't need to. He very 405 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 8: often waits for the open man. But he's got a 406 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 8: strong arm, so you kind of like you make those 407 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 8: excuses for it, Whereas I think both guys are going 408 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 8: to need coach pretty hard when they get to the 409 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 8: NFL just to learn to play on time. Both guys 410 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 8: have a little bit of that Caleb Williams mentality where 411 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 8: they think they can stand back there and drift and 412 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 8: drift and drift to wait for somebody to pop open 413 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 8: and then they'll throw it. What we saw last year 414 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 8: for Caleb, who I still love, like, that doesn't work 415 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 8: in the NFL, and guys who can play on time 416 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 8: are going to have a lot more success early. Both 417 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 8: these quarterbacks have to figure that out. 418 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, in college, you can wait, wait, wait, wait, and 419 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: then throw. In the NFL, you can wait wait and 420 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: then you better throw. So I mean, it's it's just 421 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: so much quicker. You have to throw guys open. And Caleb, 422 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 2: you know, was doing all this at USC And I 423 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: remember talking to a friend of mine who's the scout, 424 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: and he goes, that won't last long in the NFL. 425 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: He won't last long in the NFL if you think 426 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: you can escape and you know, improvise, And this scout 427 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 2: said that he always goes back to Peyton Manning and 428 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 2: Tom Brady when the when the play was over, it 429 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 2: was over. They went down in a fetal position. You know, 430 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 2: live to play another day. But these college quarterbacks are 431 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: so you know, Johnny Manziel, he was always going to 432 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 2: get out of something. You know, it helped having a 433 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 2: great receiver there. But I think that you know, is 434 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: Tennessee going to take Cam Warden. 435 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 8: I don't think so. I didn't get that sense. Okay, 436 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 8: And I think it's very telling that they are having 437 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 8: these guys in for private workouts this week. This is 438 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 8: the earliest I've ever heard of a team bringing players 439 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 8: in after the combine. And I think they're doing that 440 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 8: because they want they want to date with these guys 441 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 8: so they can trade this pick, but they want to 442 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 8: they want to have that meeting first so they can say, 443 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 8: just in case, just in case we missed something, was 444 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 8: bring in Cam. They're bringing in Shouldher Sanders. They're going 445 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 8: to have an Abdill Carter. And I think you make 446 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 8: that decision probably very soon after this week of Okay, 447 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 8: Cleveland Brown's New York Giants, whoever it is, We're now 448 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 8: open for business, and not only for business. We're far 449 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 8: enough along in the process that we can make kind 450 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 8: of an educated decision. But I don't get the sense 451 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 8: right now that the Titans feel like cam Ward is 452 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 8: going to turn this football team around. 453 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: He's Matt Miller, ESPN, NFL Draft analyst. I always look 454 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: at teams where coaching staffs that they split this season 455 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: like it's the first eight or nine games, because they 456 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: may not survive after eight or nine games. The Giant situation, 457 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 2: they have to win in those first eight or nine games, 458 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: and that's the tricky part. Aaron Rodgers gives you a 459 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 2: better chance than cam Ward will or should or Sanders. 460 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 2: There's probably a few other coaching staffs that have if 461 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 2: you're in your second or third year as a head coach, 462 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: you know, not your first year like Aaron Glenn. But 463 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: that's where I don't know. So do the Giants play 464 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: it safe from the coaching perspective, trying to keep your job, 465 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 2: and you take Aaron Rodgers instead of cam Ward? 466 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 7: I think so. 467 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 8: I think that's why I think we're so all in 468 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 8: on Matthew Stafford, and it was no surprise. I expect 469 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 8: they'll be in on Sam Darnold to some degree as 470 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 8: long as he's not franchise tag today, which sounds like 471 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 8: you won't be And I don't know if Sam wants 472 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 8: to go back to New York. Right, there's that whole 473 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 8: other element of it. But I think what you know, 474 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 8: in most years, you would say, you know what, draft 475 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 8: the young quarterback and if he shows promise, you keep 476 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 8: your job because then you have the hope of, well, 477 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 8: we got to develop this quarterback. I don't know that 478 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 8: the quarterbacks this year are to that level that if 479 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 8: you're Brian Dable or even Kevin Stefanski necessarily where you 480 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 8: say I'm gonna put my job on this guy. Who 481 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 8: did you feel at any point during the college all 482 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 8: season that cam Ward orshe Door Sanders were the best 483 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 8: quarterback in college I know they led college and touchdowns, 484 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 8: but I never watched on a Saturday and thought, God, 485 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 8: this guy is the best quarterback in college football, like 486 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 8: I did Jayden Daniels or like I did Joe Burrow. 487 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 8: You know, you don't get that level of conviction with 488 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 8: these guys. So I do feel like that's where we're 489 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 8: getting teams that are saying Cleveland's different, they have to 490 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 8: draft a quarterback because of Deshaun Watson. But with the Titans, 491 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 8: the Giants it's yeah, maybe we just bring in some 492 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 8: competition here. Maybe we tried to bridge quarterback situation for 493 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 8: another season, and then if we keep our jobs, then 494 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 8: we'll worry about what twenty twenty six might look like. 495 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 2: The big reason why we wanted to have you on 496 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 2: is obviously hand size. Jalen Milrose hand sized. His hands 497 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: got bigger since the Senior Bowl. How does that happen? 498 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 8: Almost an inch bigger, not like an incremental He grew 499 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 8: out his fingernails an inch bigger. I don't I've talked 500 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 8: to hand surgeons this week. How quickly could you do 501 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 8: a finger extension? I don't know. You know what's going on. 502 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 8: The honest answer is I think what happened at the 503 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 8: Senior Bowl is they measured his left hand, for example, 504 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 8: and at the combine they measured his right hand. That 505 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 8: will happen. That's the only thing I can come up with. 506 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 8: You see measurement disparities, and there's some gamesman shit to this. 507 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 2: I think it was. 508 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 8: Was it Brandon Allen come out of Arkansas like ten 509 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 8: years ago that was doing the hand stretches to get 510 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 8: his hands bigger and it actually worked. So I want 511 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 8: to talk to cam Ward I want to find this out. 512 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 8: I have a message into his dad, Calvin, to find 513 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 8: out the answer to this, because I excuse me to 514 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 8: Jalen Milroe, I haven't a message into his agent to 515 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 8: find this out. I got to find out because it's 516 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 8: I've never I've never heard of an inch. That's that's 517 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 8: a lot, that's that's a big time hand growth. 518 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: And I'm wondering about NFL teams who fell in love 519 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: with the running game, if other teams will follow suit 520 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: in the draft, will we see an uptick in that 521 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: you won't be afraid to draft a running back or 522 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: two in the first round. 523 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 8: I think you will be afraid, and you also will 524 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 8: get the public backlash, except for from mel Kiper, who 525 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 8: says you should never draft a running back in the 526 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 8: first round. Otherwise you know you're not going to get 527 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 8: your beat reporters in there saying, oh my god, I 528 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 8: can't believe we took Ashton Genty in the top ten, 529 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 8: or we took Omarion Hampton in the top thirty. I 530 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 8: think you can point to Bjeon Robinson and Jamier Gibbs 531 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 8: even as examples of drafting a guy in the first round. 532 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 8: They can come in and be the backbone of your offense. 533 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 8: I think more importantly if you have your quarterback, if 534 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 8: you're a team that has that figured out, that's the 535 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 8: time to draft a running back now, because you have 536 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 8: that position solved and you can go back to being 537 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 8: a balanced team. But this is one of the best 538 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 8: running back classes of not the best running back class 539 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 8: I've ever seen. I've been doing this for fifteen years, 540 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 8: so I think we've got a shot to have a 541 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 8: record for the modern era, which would be thirty running 542 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 8: backs drafted. The last time that happened was twenty seventeen, 543 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 8: which was Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, players like that. So 544 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 8: I don't know that we see three fly off the 545 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 8: board in the top fifteen necessarily, but feel pretty confidently 546 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 8: we could see three in the top thirty picks. 547 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if Travis Hunter or his agent has 548 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: said anything, but is there going to be any blowback 549 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: if he doesn't want to go to a team because 550 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: of how he thinks they would use him or not 551 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: use him. 552 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 8: I haven't heard anything about that. That would be fascinating. 553 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 8: I think the sense that I've got is that Travis 554 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 8: just loves football, so much, which he does want to 555 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 8: go Smarre where he can play both ways, and it 556 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 8: truly is like his belief that he will make that 557 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 8: team better by doing both. But I think that is 558 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 8: an important part of the next forty five days is 559 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 8: him having those conversations with teams. And I said before 560 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 8: the combine, my number one question of him to him, 561 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 8: if I was a general manager, would be what if 562 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 8: we said you can only play one way? Which side 563 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 8: is that? What do you prefer? I personally think that 564 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 8: he would be better as a wide receiver. I have 565 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 8: friends in the league who think you would be better 566 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 8: at corner. So there is kind of this polarization about 567 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 8: which side would he be better at. But I think 568 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 8: ultimately it comes down to which side. Do you have 569 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 8: a love for one side more than the other or 570 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 8: do you care that wide receivers make double with corners? 571 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 7: Dude? 572 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 8: Has that factored into your decision making process or the 573 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 8: longevity you know he's he's one hundred and eighty eight 574 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 8: pounds six foot one hundred and eighty eight pounds. I 575 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 8: don't personally want him tackling AJ Brown fifteen times a game. 576 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 8: I would rather him be trying to evade those guys 577 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 8: than go out and initiate contacts. So there is a 578 00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 8: lot to that. 579 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 5: I know. 580 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 8: He says he can play both ways. I think he 581 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 8: can try. My statement has been it is very hard 582 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 8: to be great at one position in the NFL, just mentally. 583 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 8: It's so hard. So now we're going to divide that 584 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 8: time to a rookie and say, hey, not only welcome 585 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 8: to the NFL, but but now you got to learn 586 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 8: two very very hard positions to transition to the NFL, 587 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 8: where we don't see guys as rookies oftentimes have great 588 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 8: years as corners, sometimes at receiver. But we're asking him 589 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 8: to learn two very hard positions at the same time. 590 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 8: I don't know how feasible that is. 591 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: He said that it's tougher to do what he's trying 592 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: to do than what Sho heeo Tani does by hitting 593 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: and pitching your thoughts, I. 594 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 8: Think hitting a baseball is the hardest thing in sports. 595 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 8: So I'm going to respectfully disagree as someone who could 596 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 8: do neither right. It's easy to sit here in my 597 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 8: quarter zip and say one's easier than the other. But 598 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 8: I think hitting a baseball when it's one hundred miles 599 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 8: an hour is the hardest thing is sports, and then 600 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 8: to turn around to be a dominant pitcher. Now to 601 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 8: Travis's point, he said, show Hey only pitches once every 602 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 8: five games. That's five days. By the way, Travis only 603 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 8: have to play football once every seven days. So if 604 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 8: we're being honest about the statements, they're both getting some 605 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 8: breaks in there. But I think we'll show Hey does 606 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 8: he's unprecedented. 607 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. Is there anybody that we 608 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 2: should keep an eye on that you would consider given 609 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: what happened at the combine that really affected their draft status. 610 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 8: I think Nick even worry the safety from South Carolina 611 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 8: went from being a late first rounder to maybe a 612 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 8: top fifteen pick to be six three two twenty toront 613 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 8: of four to three. He looks like Derwin James out there. 614 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 8: He has ball skills. He had four picks five pass 615 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 8: breakups this year. He's a great tackler as well. So 616 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 8: I still think as we try to figure out how 617 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 8: to handle mobile quarterbacks, defenders like him are the answers. 618 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 8: So he's I think he's the biggest riser coming out 619 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 8: of it all. 620 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. We'll talk to you again. 621 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 2: Thank you, Matt. Thanks An that's Matt Miller, ESPN NFL 622 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 2: Draft analyst. So the Pro Football Focus lead analyst Trevor 623 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: Sikima did say that he does and even see should 624 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: Or Sanders as a first round pick, and Matt kind 625 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 2: of back that up. I don't know. Now, once again, 626 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: this is what happens. Everybody has a consensus until the 627 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 2: people get paid to have a consensus. You know, those 628 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: who are the scouts, those who are the gms, the coaches. 629 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 2: Now you're starting to hear real, real conversation about this 630 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 2: instead of how many times have we watched a game 631 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: and you go, godie, that guy he could play in 632 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: the NFL, And then all of a sudden you realize, no, 633 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 2: maybe he can't play in the NFL, or if he does, 634 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 2: he'll be a backup in the NFL. College, you know, 635 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: can inflate you. The NFL deflates you. You can be 636 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: in college and you're like just whipping it around and 637 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 2: they're like, this is easy, and all of a sudden 638 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: you realize it's not easy. And that's where these scouts, 639 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 2: the people who are looking at these prospects, now, this 640 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: is real, not you know, drive by innocent advice to 641 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 2: and hey, yeah, that guy's gonna be he could, He's 642 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: gonna be number one on my board. Look, I love 643 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: Mel Kuiper, but when you look at somebody's draft board 644 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 2: during the season, and then you look at it after 645 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 2: the season, and then you look at it as we 646 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: get ready for the draft, it changes dramatically. Well what happened? 647 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 2: It's you get people who are paid to do this 648 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: to break down these prospects because their job depends on it. 649 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 2: Mel's not getting fired for his draft board, but a 650 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 2: guy who says, let's take Shador Sanders number two overall 651 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 2: could get fired. We'll take a break. Your phone calls 652 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 2: coming up. 653 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 654 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 655 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 656 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 2: Stat of the Day is always brought to you by 657 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: Panini America and the official trading cards of the program. 658 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 2: Speaking of it, Shay Gill just Alexander has scored at 659 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: least twenty points in fifty six consecutive games.
