5
00:00:35,748 --> 00:00:38,068
Speaker 1: case of the mondays. I'm very excited to be here,

6
00:00:38,148 --> 00:00:40,868
Speaker 1: happy to be back in the Northeast, Excited to be

7
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:44,388
Speaker 1: back on this show, a morning show action. I forgot

8
00:00:44,428 --> 00:00:46,988
Speaker 1: how much I love sleep, but we're dealing with it.

9
00:00:47,988 --> 00:00:51,628
Speaker 1: Let's go. Time for the lead block. Okay, So, the

10
00:00:51,788 --> 00:00:55,588
Speaker 1: last time we saw Joe Burrow and his Bengals, they

11
00:00:55,628 --> 00:00:57,948
Speaker 1: were falling to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the

12
00:00:57,988 --> 00:01:01,468
Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game. Mahomes was the better quarterback that night,

13
00:01:01,588 --> 00:01:05,268
Speaker 1: but that fact didn't stop former Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer

14
00:01:05,308 --> 00:01:09,068
Speaker 1: from making this claim with his brother Jordan on the

15
00:01:09,228 --> 00:01:13,348
Speaker 1: Quarterback Room Podcast. I think Joe's the best quarterback in

16
00:01:13,388 --> 00:01:16,908
Speaker 1: the league. And I think I know Patrick is phenomenal,

17
00:01:17,188 --> 00:01:20,108
Speaker 1: but I just think Joe's more consistent. Joe is just

18
00:01:20,308 --> 00:01:24,908
Speaker 1: talking about not having a weakness. Mentally strong, physically tall, accurate,

19
00:01:25,148 --> 00:01:28,148
Speaker 1: can throw it, fire enough, fast enough, gets the ball

20
00:01:28,148 --> 00:01:30,468
Speaker 1: out quick and then he can actually do a lot

21
00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:33,508
Speaker 1: with his legs. He just rarely shows it and it's

22
00:01:33,548 --> 00:01:36,908
Speaker 1: not I think he's his athletic outside the pocket with

23
00:01:37,188 --> 00:01:38,988
Speaker 1: you know, and can do a lot of the same

24
00:01:39,028 --> 00:01:42,228
Speaker 1: things Patrick Mahomes has done. He hasn't done it and

25
00:01:42,388 --> 00:01:46,428
Speaker 1: showed it yet. He's played more within his system and style.

26
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:51,468
Speaker 1: But I think he's the best quarterback in the league. Wow. Okay, So,

27
00:01:51,588 --> 00:01:54,548
Speaker 1: by the way, the Carson Palmer family gene, the Palmer

28
00:01:54,588 --> 00:01:58,228
Speaker 1: gene is strong. They look exactly like So that is

29
00:01:58,268 --> 00:02:00,868
Speaker 1: an interesting take from Carson Palmer. What do you make

30
00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:03,988
Speaker 1: of him saying that Joe Burrow is the best quarterback

31
00:02:04,108 --> 00:02:07,708
Speaker 1: in the league, better than Patrick Mahomes. I think it's

32
00:02:07,748 --> 00:02:11,068
Speaker 1: personal for Carson Palmer. I think Carson Palmer has real

33
00:02:11,188 --> 00:02:14,268
Speaker 1: scar tissue from the Cincinnati experience and on the way

34
00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:17,148
Speaker 1: out had no kind words to say about the organization,

35
00:02:17,508 --> 00:02:20,068
Speaker 1: and when Joe Burrow was a draft prospect, urged at

36
00:02:20,108 --> 00:02:23,228
Speaker 1: Burrow do everything he can to avoid going to Cincinnati.

37
00:02:23,588 --> 00:02:25,708
Speaker 1: So I think when you think of the delta of

38
00:02:26,068 --> 00:02:30,188
Speaker 1: what Carson Palmer's expectations were for this franchise and what

39
00:02:30,268 --> 00:02:32,108
Speaker 1: anyone could do in that building as a former number

40
00:02:32,148 --> 00:02:34,028
Speaker 1: one overall pick taken to the Bengals. I think he

41
00:02:34,068 --> 00:02:36,228
Speaker 1: respects the hell out of what Joe Burrow has done

42
00:02:36,428 --> 00:02:39,588
Speaker 1: and turning this Bengals franchise, which is historically viewed as

43
00:02:39,628 --> 00:02:41,748
Speaker 1: the Dulgrums of the NFL, a place where career is

44
00:02:41,748 --> 00:02:43,868
Speaker 1: going to die, to now being the hot new team

45
00:02:43,868 --> 00:02:46,388
Speaker 1: of the NFL where the fan base is engaged. And

46
00:02:46,468 --> 00:02:49,268
Speaker 1: I think Carson Palmer really respects it. He really does,

47
00:02:49,388 --> 00:02:51,068
Speaker 1: and I think that might be clouding his judgment just

48
00:02:51,188 --> 00:02:53,628
Speaker 1: the tad Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL.

49
00:02:53,668 --> 00:02:55,188
Speaker 1: And I was one of those people who came out

50
00:02:55,228 --> 00:02:59,188
Speaker 1: before the AFC Championship game and said, if Burrow beats Mahomes,

51
00:02:59,188 --> 00:03:01,748
Speaker 1: we have to have the conversation, and everyone from Eric

52
00:03:01,788 --> 00:03:05,788
Speaker 1: stone Street to the Chiefs bloggers to the folks in

53
00:03:05,788 --> 00:03:09,588
Speaker 1: the Kansas City media crushed me for even suggesting such

54
00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:12,268
Speaker 1: a thing. And then Mahomes came out and he outplayed

55
00:03:12,268 --> 00:03:15,188
Speaker 1: Burrow in a game that the Chiefs absolutely needed, and

56
00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:17,588
Speaker 1: Mahomes needed to put his foot down and say no, no no, no.

57
00:03:20,148 --> 00:03:22,028
Speaker 1: He thought there were some penalties, some book calls very

58
00:03:22,028 --> 00:03:24,348
Speaker 1: turned down. I know it was the officiating has been

59
00:03:24,388 --> 00:03:27,628
Speaker 1: discussed at length, especially by the Cincinnati fans, but would

60
00:03:27,628 --> 00:03:30,588
Speaker 1: have mattered most. Mahomes did make the most out of

61
00:03:30,588 --> 00:03:34,108
Speaker 1: a wide receiver situation that had everyone injured. It was

62
00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:37,308
Speaker 1: basically Valdez scaling and nobody else left, and Mahomes used

63
00:03:37,348 --> 00:03:40,548
Speaker 1: his wheels, he used his guile, he used his experience,

64
00:03:40,868 --> 00:03:42,988
Speaker 1: and he got the Burrow. I think it's these two

65
00:03:43,068 --> 00:03:45,148
Speaker 1: right now, and Josh Allen gets a lot of my respect,

66
00:03:45,148 --> 00:03:47,588
Speaker 1: and of course Rogers is still looming, and we can

67
00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:49,388
Speaker 1: go through all the names and what about what about

68
00:03:49,388 --> 00:03:52,548
Speaker 1: what about Jalen Hurts? No, to me, it's these guys

69
00:03:52,628 --> 00:03:56,948
Speaker 1: right now, and Carson Palmers, my character is person on

70
00:03:57,028 --> 00:04:00,268
Speaker 1: Twitter fan of team. What about Ryan Tannet When Tanneh

71
00:04:00,308 --> 00:04:03,148
Speaker 1: Hill's healthy, he actually has more quarterback waggle stats and

72
00:04:03,228 --> 00:04:05,428
Speaker 1: all of those guys. No, the second time in the

73
00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:08,508
Speaker 1: show that you've referenced people on social media passive aggressively.

74
00:04:08,668 --> 00:04:10,788
Speaker 1: Is something going on? Yeah, I'm just I just feel

75
00:04:10,788 --> 00:04:13,068
Speaker 1: like it's a real negative place these days. And there

76
00:04:13,148 --> 00:04:15,548
Speaker 1: a clipper? Is there anything like that? People are coming? No?

77
00:04:15,748 --> 00:04:17,548
Speaker 1: I just I need a straw man, so I say

78
00:04:17,628 --> 00:04:20,188
Speaker 1: people on Twitter when in fact they are biggest fans,

79
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:22,828
Speaker 1: So we love you guys. I'll tell you I usually engage.

80
00:04:22,828 --> 00:04:27,068
Speaker 1: It's mostly positive. But I'd say after getting buried by

81
00:04:27,148 --> 00:04:30,828
Speaker 1: Kansas City fans for a week before that game happened,

82
00:04:30,868 --> 00:04:32,948
Speaker 1: and then for Mahomes to win and have to come

83
00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:34,708
Speaker 1: in and say, you know what Mahomes did, prove it,

84
00:04:34,748 --> 00:04:36,988
Speaker 1: I think I've got a double down on it. Mahomes

85
00:04:36,988 --> 00:04:39,348
Speaker 1: to me is number one, Burrow is number two. Justin

86
00:04:39,388 --> 00:04:41,708
Speaker 1: Herbert has to win a playoff game, Josh Allen needs

87
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:43,668
Speaker 1: to win a bigger playoff game. You go right down

88
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:45,628
Speaker 1: the list. These guys right now are one. What about

89
00:04:45,708 --> 00:04:49,868
Speaker 1: Jaylen Hirk? What about Jaylen Hurt? This isn't a conversation.

90
00:04:50,148 --> 00:04:53,228
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything that Patrick Mahomes has done

91
00:04:53,308 --> 00:04:55,988
Speaker 1: hasn't done that takes him out of the number one spot.

92
00:04:55,988 --> 00:04:57,948
Speaker 1: I like what you just said. It's probably personal for

93
00:04:57,988 --> 00:05:00,908
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer as he watched Joe, as he watches Joe

94
00:05:00,908 --> 00:05:03,508
Speaker 1: Burrow and what he's doing, and Sinci, his brother trains

95
00:05:03,628 --> 00:05:05,628
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is well, so all of that kind of

96
00:05:05,668 --> 00:05:08,668
Speaker 1: adds in the mix. And he talked about Patrick Mahomes.

97
00:05:08,668 --> 00:05:10,908
Speaker 1: He gets outside of the pocket and he said, hey,

98
00:05:10,948 --> 00:05:13,428
Speaker 1: if you're calling the place Joe Burrow does with the system.

99
00:05:13,428 --> 00:05:15,668
Speaker 1: So if you're a coach, you love that. But when

100
00:05:15,708 --> 00:05:18,108
Speaker 1: I hear hey, when Patrick Mahomes he gets outside the

101
00:05:18,108 --> 00:05:20,228
Speaker 1: pocket gets sacked, Like, that's not the first thing I

102
00:05:20,308 --> 00:05:23,148
Speaker 1: think of what Patrick Mahomes is on the scramble. I've

103
00:05:23,148 --> 00:05:25,588
Speaker 1: had to play against this guy. When he gets outside

104
00:05:25,628 --> 00:05:28,508
Speaker 1: of the pocket on your own defense, you are scared

105
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,108
Speaker 1: to death. I don't even care what his stats are

106
00:05:31,148 --> 00:05:33,468
Speaker 1: outside the pocket, how he's number one in this and

107
00:05:33,588 --> 00:05:36,308
Speaker 1: all of those other things. When you just watch these

108
00:05:36,428 --> 00:05:39,588
Speaker 1: highlights and you see the magic, the wizardry, if I

109
00:05:39,628 --> 00:05:42,308
Speaker 1: may say, of what Patrick Mahomes is able to do

110
00:05:42,428 --> 00:05:45,308
Speaker 1: when he's running around, his ability to find whether it's

111
00:05:45,308 --> 00:05:48,748
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey uncovering Jerick McKinnon who takes it now sixty

112
00:05:48,828 --> 00:05:52,308
Speaker 1: yards and scores a touchdown, It is untouchable and there's

113
00:05:52,348 --> 00:05:54,468
Speaker 1: so much fun to watch. But I think on top

114
00:05:54,508 --> 00:05:56,788
Speaker 1: of the excitement and the fun you get seeing him

115
00:05:56,828 --> 00:05:59,748
Speaker 1: do it, it nets results. This guy has won two

116
00:05:59,748 --> 00:06:03,708
Speaker 1: Super Bowls MVP. What he does inside the pocket, outside

117
00:06:03,748 --> 00:06:06,588
Speaker 1: the pocket is second to non Patrick Mahomes has been

118
00:06:06,668 --> 00:06:09,588
Speaker 1: unbelievable and has not to take away from anything Joe

119
00:06:09,588 --> 00:06:12,908
Speaker 1: Burrow does. But even at Cincinnati won that playoff game,

120
00:06:13,068 --> 00:06:15,788
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was still going to be the best quarter

121
00:06:16,068 --> 00:06:18,628
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. I love that Carson has a take,

122
00:06:18,908 --> 00:06:20,948
Speaker 1: you know, and I love that there's it's a contrarian take,

123
00:06:20,988 --> 00:06:22,868
Speaker 1: and that's great no matter what his motivation may be.

124
00:06:24,308 --> 00:06:26,068
Speaker 1: The only problem I have with Mahomes is that it

125
00:06:26,108 --> 00:06:28,068
Speaker 1: is exhausting how dominant he is. And you know, it's

126
00:06:28,068 --> 00:06:29,668
Speaker 1: like you grew up and it was like every once

127
00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:31,668
Speaker 1: in a while someone could say, yeah, Michael, Michael, but

128
00:06:31,788 --> 00:06:35,188
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Grant Hill could, or maybe Anthony Hardaway could,

129
00:06:35,308 --> 00:06:37,788
Speaker 1: or maybe Tracy McGrady could, or maybe early in the

130
00:06:37,828 --> 00:06:41,028
Speaker 1: day Domini and inevitably it was just going back to Jordan.

131
00:06:41,388 --> 00:06:43,348
Speaker 1: I think what's fun now as we go off season

132
00:06:43,428 --> 00:06:46,188
Speaker 1: off season, every year someone takes a turn tagging in

133
00:06:46,228 --> 00:06:48,988
Speaker 1: as the one who could challenge Mahomes. Like two years back,

134
00:06:49,028 --> 00:06:52,228
Speaker 1: it was Lamar or Mahomes, Who's the future? Last year

135
00:06:52,268 --> 00:06:55,188
Speaker 1: it was six months of Alan or Mahomes. This year

136
00:06:55,228 --> 00:06:57,788
Speaker 1: we're gonna do Burrow or Mahomes. See how the same

137
00:06:57,908 --> 00:07:00,468
Speaker 1: name is always in the second column. It's always Mahomes.

138
00:07:00,468 --> 00:07:02,668
Speaker 1: That gives you the answer. I love the Carson has

139
00:07:02,668 --> 00:07:04,988
Speaker 1: a take and he gets into it. With quarterbacks, Let's

140
00:07:05,028 --> 00:07:07,828
Speaker 1: just go objectively though, because I say, you know, quarterbacks

141
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:09,748
Speaker 1: of the statue don't really even enter their prime until

142
00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:12,508
Speaker 1: like you're five, sometimes you're six. So but let's look

143
00:07:12,548 --> 00:07:15,548
Speaker 1: at the start of where Mahomes was his career, where

144
00:07:15,588 --> 00:07:17,948
Speaker 1: Burrow is right now, that's forty nine starts for burw

145
00:07:17,988 --> 00:07:20,988
Speaker 1: Let's say where Mahomes after forty nine starts. Way better

146
00:07:21,028 --> 00:07:25,108
Speaker 1: win percentage, way more passing yards, way more touchdowns, way

147
00:07:25,148 --> 00:07:28,548
Speaker 1: fewer interceptions, playoff records. Fascinated, especially that one of those

148
00:07:28,548 --> 00:07:31,348
Speaker 1: wins for Burrow was in Arrowhead. It was an amazing

149
00:07:31,388 --> 00:07:34,148
Speaker 1: win four and one they only lost for Mahomes to borrow.

150
00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:37,668
Speaker 1: But to even try to say, like it's you're really

151
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:39,948
Speaker 1: on a wire trying to make a case for Burrow

152
00:07:40,188 --> 00:07:44,188
Speaker 1: better than Mahomes. You consider what Mahomes stepped into the

153
00:07:44,508 --> 00:07:47,028
Speaker 1: built situation with the Hall of Fame head coach, and

154
00:07:47,148 --> 00:07:49,868
Speaker 1: having obviously Alex Smith as a mentor to Burrow, who

155
00:07:49,908 --> 00:07:51,548
Speaker 1: has just thrown into the mix. First of all, Alex

156
00:07:51,548 --> 00:07:53,588
Speaker 1: Smith is the way in immediately because he's the Carson

157
00:07:53,588 --> 00:07:56,508
Speaker 1: Palmer in this conversation about representing the Chiefs. But I

158
00:07:56,508 --> 00:07:58,628
Speaker 1: would also look, let's bring it up to the modern day.

159
00:07:58,748 --> 00:08:01,508
Speaker 1: You talked about what Mahomes had to work with last year.

160
00:08:01,828 --> 00:08:05,348
Speaker 1: It was he works. There's a work personnel Burrows coming

161
00:08:05,388 --> 00:08:08,028
Speaker 1: at and it's Chase, and it's Higgins, and he's had

162
00:08:08,068 --> 00:08:11,148
Speaker 1: a great surrounding cast too, and Zach Taylor, who's turns

163
00:08:11,148 --> 00:08:13,108
Speaker 1: out as a really, really good coach who's going places.

164
00:08:13,148 --> 00:08:15,148
Speaker 1: So look, I love Burrow. It's not a slight to Burrow.

165
00:08:15,388 --> 00:08:17,548
Speaker 1: But that's the NFL we're in right now. It's Mahomes

166
00:08:17,548 --> 00:08:20,068
Speaker 1: and it's everybody else. I don't want to hear anybody else. Guys,

167
00:08:20,188 --> 00:08:22,708
Speaker 1: you're gonna slip a disk in your back reaching trying

168
00:08:22,788 --> 00:08:24,348
Speaker 1: to get it. And I respect to Carson, Believe me,

169
00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:26,308
Speaker 1: I've reached many times in the show. I just can't

170
00:08:26,348 --> 00:08:29,428
Speaker 1: reach for this. Yeah, it's it's tough to even. I mean,

171
00:08:29,548 --> 00:08:31,588
Speaker 1: who is the better quarterback? I don't know. They're both

172
00:08:31,588 --> 00:08:34,988
Speaker 1: so good, and we've seen them both win under difficult

173
00:08:35,028 --> 00:08:38,548
Speaker 1: circumstances too. We've seen Joe Burrow behind an offensive line

174
00:08:38,548 --> 00:08:40,708
Speaker 1: that's completely fallen apart. He still stays up and he

175
00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:43,948
Speaker 1: still can make those throws. We've seen Patrick Mahomes play

176
00:08:44,108 --> 00:08:46,548
Speaker 1: while he's limping around and you think, oh my god.

177
00:08:46,668 --> 00:08:49,348
Speaker 1: Before halftime of the Super Bowl, this is not the

178
00:08:49,388 --> 00:08:51,028
Speaker 1: way that I thought it was going to go down.

179
00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:53,068
Speaker 1: This is not the way I want this to go down.

180
00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:56,548
Speaker 1: As an Eagles fan, I was saying that, and it's true,

181
00:08:56,628 --> 00:08:59,108
Speaker 1: because I don't want to see any of these quarterbacks hurt.

182
00:08:59,148 --> 00:09:00,788
Speaker 1: I want them to live forever. I want them to

183
00:09:00,828 --> 00:09:03,508
Speaker 1: play forever. I need them in my life. But I

184
00:09:03,548 --> 00:09:05,908
Speaker 1: think that Carson or two. I mean, look, they're both

185
00:09:06,028 --> 00:09:09,188
Speaker 1: he and Burrow, they're both Heisman Trophy winners, they both

186
00:09:09,228 --> 00:09:12,428
Speaker 1: have the Bengals connection. I think that it's just natural

187
00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:17,028
Speaker 1: for Carson Palmer to ride with Joe Burrow, but it's

188
00:09:17,028 --> 00:09:19,708
Speaker 1: got to be Patrick Mahomes until you're looking at Super

189
00:09:19,748 --> 00:09:22,708
Speaker 1: Bowl rings. I mean, how are we weighing this? They're

190
00:09:22,708 --> 00:09:26,948
Speaker 1: both really talented, and I think that their ceilings we

191
00:09:26,988 --> 00:09:29,108
Speaker 1: don't even know yet. I think the interested in debate

192
00:09:29,188 --> 00:09:31,348
Speaker 1: is is Burrow the second best quarterback in the NFCY.

193
00:09:31,628 --> 00:09:34,668
Speaker 1: Like if we're all saying is Burrow that guy? Because

194
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:36,468
Speaker 1: then there's like six dudes they're like, oh excuse me,

195
00:09:36,548 --> 00:09:38,188
Speaker 1: hold on, with you know, then you're an Alan and

196
00:09:38,188 --> 00:09:40,588
Speaker 1: then Jalen. Like I still think that I would rather

197
00:09:40,628 --> 00:09:42,748
Speaker 1: have Alan, just because I think he is more talented

198
00:09:42,788 --> 00:09:44,188
Speaker 1: and I think he has more stuff going on with

199
00:09:44,188 --> 00:09:46,148
Speaker 1: the running and everything. But now we'ren't in a debate. Yeah,

200
00:09:46,148 --> 00:09:47,908
Speaker 1: I mean you can go into Herbert and Hurts like

201
00:09:48,348 --> 00:09:52,948
Speaker 1: both the same draft class and we're tremendous talents. Did

202
00:09:52,948 --> 00:09:56,948
Speaker 1: you see Joe Burrow was at the UFC event, so everybody, Yeah,

203
00:09:56,948 --> 00:09:59,468
Speaker 1: they weren't telling guys, and he was bookended by I

204
00:09:59,548 --> 00:10:01,708
Speaker 1: was just sitting next to because Mel Gibson was there

205
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:06,708
Speaker 1: for President Joey Bosa. Both bosas the big Ohio contingent.

206
00:10:06,748 --> 00:10:09,028
Speaker 1: Those guys already Ohio a state together and he was

207
00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:11,188
Speaker 1: hangling both of those guys. That's some crew there. H

208
00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:14,108
Speaker 1: It's a lot of contingents. That's just so high. Wow,

209
00:10:14,148 --> 00:10:17,828
Speaker 1: that's amazing. I'm also thinking about the the NFC and

210
00:10:17,988 --> 00:10:21,468
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks there because we're really only talking about Jalen

211
00:10:21,588 --> 00:10:23,988
Speaker 1: Hurts and then and then where do you go? Who's

212
00:10:24,628 --> 00:10:29,788
Speaker 1: I have a Stafford resurgence coming. I feel like, you know, resurgence.

213
00:10:29,828 --> 00:10:31,788
Speaker 1: I thought about it over the weekend. What you think

214
00:10:31,948 --> 00:10:34,988
Speaker 1: I think Stafford's coming back strong, dude, Cooper and like,

215
00:10:35,148 --> 00:10:38,908
Speaker 1: oh McVeigh, yeah, yeah, all right, I love it all right.

216
00:10:39,068 --> 00:10:41,788
Speaker 1: The way it's coming, it's upon us. It is Will

217
00:10:41,788 --> 00:10:43,668
Speaker 1: Selva that is the wave. He is the title wave.

218
00:10:43,788 --> 00:10:46,468
Speaker 1: He has the news that we've been talking about all

219
00:10:46,628 --> 00:10:50,108
Speaker 1: morning long. O b J. Now a raven that went

222
00:10:57,308 --> 00:11:02,188
Speaker 1: expected to host ob J for a visit today. As

223
00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:04,348
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, where are you supposed to take

224
00:11:04,548 --> 00:11:07,868
Speaker 1: a physical and talk about the offense with Aaron Rodgers?

225
00:11:07,948 --> 00:11:12,508
Speaker 1: But those plans were scrapped as Baltimore just swooped in

226
00:11:13,148 --> 00:11:16,788
Speaker 1: and landed the free agent. As you mentioned, Obj Green

228
00:11:19,348 --> 00:11:22,308

232
00:11:32,708 --> 00:11:35,908
Speaker 1: it to the eighteen million dollars mark. Now the story

233
00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:38,868
Speaker 1: turns to what does this mean for Lamar Jackson's return

234
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:43,708

Speaker 1: superstars and just four questions. Our next guest was an

254
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:18,908
Speaker 1: absolute problem for every dB in the nation. Please give

255
00:13:18,948 --> 00:13:22,228
Speaker 1: a warm welcome to former Boston College wide receiver. They

256
00:13:26,428 --> 00:13:28,348
Speaker 1: what we're doing. Good man, It's good to see you.

257
00:13:28,548 --> 00:13:30,468
Speaker 1: I got a chance to you guys first game. I

258
00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:33,908
Speaker 1: was on the field watching you destroy my Rutgers guys

259
00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:36,948
Speaker 1: in a defensive backfield. And since then, you just continue

260
00:13:36,988 --> 00:13:40,388
Speaker 1: to surge up the draft and your stock is skyrocket

261
00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,788
Speaker 1: and a lot of people will considering the best wide

262
00:13:42,828 --> 00:13:45,348
Speaker 1: receiver in this draft. I want to know in your

263
00:13:45,388 --> 00:13:47,988
Speaker 1: own mind what stands out about your game that separates

264
00:13:47,988 --> 00:13:49,748
Speaker 1: you from the pack. I just feel like I'm a

265
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:53,548
Speaker 1: complete receiver. I can do everything from any position and

266
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:57,148
Speaker 1: score anywhere on the field. I feel like I'm just

267
00:13:57,188 --> 00:14:00,068
Speaker 1: the most complete receiver in this class. I feel like

268
00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:03,148
Speaker 1: that's what're separating He's confident. I like it. I like

269
00:14:03,308 --> 00:14:06,748
Speaker 1: it a lot. And listen day our own Steve Smith Senior.

270
00:14:06,908 --> 00:14:11,508
Speaker 1: He has been NonStop raving about you all off season long,

271
00:14:11,628 --> 00:14:13,908
Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say when asked about

272
00:14:13,948 --> 00:14:16,908
Speaker 1: your size. In particular, I don't care how tall he

273
00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:19,948
Speaker 1: is or how tall he is. That young man can

274
00:14:20,028 --> 00:14:23,228
Speaker 1: play football like them. Actually, I love him see, I

275
00:14:23,268 --> 00:14:27,108
Speaker 1: like Quentin. I like Quentin uh Johnson Johnson, and I said,

276
00:14:27,228 --> 00:14:30,068
Speaker 1: make me love them Zay Flowers, I like them, I

277
00:14:30,228 --> 00:14:37,148
Speaker 1: love them. Okay, So see beaming went from like to

278
00:14:37,268 --> 00:14:39,748
Speaker 1: love very quickly there. So what would you say to

279
00:14:39,788 --> 00:14:42,588
Speaker 1: anyone in the league who has any type of misguided

280
00:14:42,628 --> 00:14:45,588
Speaker 1: concerns about your stature. It's a lot of guys my

281
00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:48,588
Speaker 1: size doing it, Tyreek, Killed Jen and Water Brandon Cooks.

282
00:14:49,148 --> 00:14:51,268
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of guys that best successful in

283
00:14:51,428 --> 00:14:54,548
Speaker 1: my size in the league. So I don't really think

284
00:14:54,588 --> 00:14:56,868
Speaker 1: that's a problem. It's just you gotta say something bad,

285
00:14:56,908 --> 00:14:59,148
Speaker 1: so you gotta use something that right, I hear you. Man.

286
00:14:59,428 --> 00:15:02,028
Speaker 1: Combined season is draft season. We talk about size. The

287
00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:03,468
Speaker 1: game tape is amazing, so we have to go to

288
00:15:03,508 --> 00:15:05,588
Speaker 1: the size they're gonna be. Man. And there's so many

289
00:15:05,588 --> 00:15:08,308
Speaker 1: things about your upbringing, your background that are really incredible too.

Speaker 1: You have four sisters and nine brothers siblings, big, beautiful,

291
00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:16,468
Speaker 1: happy family. I hope what was it like growing up

292
00:15:16,508 --> 00:15:18,868
Speaker 1: like that? And what did you learn being one of thirteen? Yeah,

293
00:15:18,908 --> 00:15:22,628
Speaker 1: honestly competitive. We used to wake up eight o'clock in

294
00:15:22,708 --> 00:15:25,268
Speaker 1: the morning, my big brothers, just to see if we

295
00:15:25,268 --> 00:15:27,068
Speaker 1: can run each other over, trying to make each other

296
00:15:27,148 --> 00:15:31,468
Speaker 1: miss see who was the fastest. So it was like competitive.

297
00:15:31,508 --> 00:15:33,628
Speaker 1: It was competitive every day. You know, you're the pride

298
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:37,188

299
00:15:37,348 --> 00:15:39,908

300
00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:43,428

00:15:43,548 --> 00:15:45,468
Speaker 1: just got recent word that you'll be visiting with the

302
00:15:45,508 --> 00:15:47,748
Speaker 1: Giants this week, and of course Patriots fans love you

303
00:15:47,788 --> 00:15:50,268
Speaker 1: from your Boston college days. Would you be happy to

304
00:15:50,348 --> 00:15:52,308
Speaker 1: play for the New York Giants if they were to

305
00:15:52,348 --> 00:15:54,948
Speaker 1: select you in the first round or their pick? I mean,

306

307
00:15:56,868 --> 00:15:58,788
Speaker 1: chance of going that first as a dream come true.

308
00:15:58,908 --> 00:16:01,148
Speaker 1: So no matter what team you get me or wherever

309
00:16:01,228 --> 00:16:03,148
Speaker 1: I go, it's gonna be a blessing and I'm gonna

310
00:16:03,148 --> 00:16:05,668
Speaker 1: put my foot down and go to work every day. Okay, Zay,

311
00:16:05,868 --> 00:16:07,948
Speaker 1: I like that answer. Giants fans are watching know when

312
00:16:07,948 --> 00:16:10,308
Speaker 1: the visits coming, and they're hoping forward to wide receivers.

313
00:16:10,428 --> 00:16:12,628
Speaker 1: They love to look ahead to future matchups. And my

314
00:16:12,708 --> 00:16:14,308
Speaker 1: guess is that you are no different. So why don't

315
00:16:14,308 --> 00:16:16,908
Speaker 1: you give us a cornerback that you would say you

316
00:16:16,908 --> 00:16:19,468
Speaker 1: would look forward to that matchup to finally going up

317
00:16:19,468 --> 00:16:21,708
Speaker 1: against one on one, a corner that you've been watching

318
00:16:21,788 --> 00:16:24,788
Speaker 1: your entire life. Honestly, ready to go against all of them.

319
00:16:24,788 --> 00:16:26,788
Speaker 1: I'm just ready to go play, but I had to

320
00:16:26,828 --> 00:16:28,388
Speaker 1: TuS one. It's always gonna be like the best. You

321
00:16:28,468 --> 00:16:31,068
Speaker 1: don't want to play so like Jayalen Rams Xavier Howard,

322
00:16:31,108 --> 00:16:33,708
Speaker 1: I mean they're on the same team now, so right,

323
00:16:33,788 --> 00:16:36,188
Speaker 1: get that chance. I love the short as you've mentioned

324
00:16:36,268 --> 00:16:38,268
Speaker 1: New England. Both of those guys are. I'm saying the

325
00:16:38,468 --> 00:16:40,388
Speaker 1: Vision could get a chance to go against those guys.

326
00:16:40,468 --> 00:16:42,868
Speaker 1: A awesome to have you in this morning. Good luck

327
00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:45,148
Speaker 1: and the draft will be watching you, not only on

328
00:16:45,268 --> 00:16:47,188
Speaker 1: Draft Day but then for years to come back. Keep

329
00:16:47,268 --> 00:16:50,108
Speaker 1: killing it. Say thank you, thank you, thanks for having me.

330
00:16:50,508 --> 00:16:53,228
Speaker 1: See you later. Take care. What a draft party he

331
00:16:53,268 --> 00:16:57,108
Speaker 1: would have thirteen siblings. I can't imagine holidays. That must

332
00:16:57,148 --> 00:17:00,948
Speaker 1: be super fun at his house. Za is such a

333
00:17:00,988 --> 00:17:04,828
Speaker 1: cool name. I true, most opportunity. All right, we'll let's

334
00:17:04,828 --> 00:17:07,748
Speaker 1: get him back on the horns. Bucky Brooks's top five

335
00:17:07,788 --> 00:17:10,748
Speaker 1: wide receivers is A. Flowers is second on the list,

336
00:17:10,788 --> 00:17:13,668
Speaker 1: So Jason I know that you like see Smith senor

337
00:17:13,828 --> 00:17:16,308
Speaker 1: also big Za fan. I think we all are now

338
00:17:16,348 --> 00:17:18,828
Speaker 1: after talking to him. What kind of impact will he

339
00:17:18,908 --> 00:17:21,708
Speaker 1: make with a team? What are strengths? What can teams

340
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:24,268
Speaker 1: expect from him? Yeah, I think when you look at Steve,

341
00:17:24,268 --> 00:17:26,548
Speaker 1: when you hear what he's saying, it's accurate. When you

342
00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:29,148
Speaker 1: turn on the film and you watch Za Flowers, he's

343
00:17:29,228 --> 00:17:31,388
Speaker 1: making guys miss catching a ball on a two to

344
00:17:31,468 --> 00:17:33,908
Speaker 1: three yard pass and then turn it into a forty

345
00:17:33,988 --> 00:17:36,908
Speaker 1: yard game because of his ability run after the catch

346
00:17:36,988 --> 00:17:39,708
Speaker 1: and he stops on a dime and when you're watching

347
00:17:39,748 --> 00:17:42,068
Speaker 1: his route running, you're seeing him in and out of breaks.

348
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:44,428
Speaker 1: But I think beyond that, he talked about being a

349
00:17:44,468 --> 00:17:46,988
Speaker 1: smaller receiver and guys at the next level doing it.

350
00:17:47,268 --> 00:17:49,268
Speaker 1: He's not only a guy who's catching a pass for

351
00:17:49,308 --> 00:17:51,548
Speaker 1: two or three yards, but this guy is going deep

352
00:17:51,588 --> 00:17:53,908
Speaker 1: down the field, going up top to catch the ball

353
00:17:53,948 --> 00:17:56,588
Speaker 1: over dbs. And he's a guy who can work at

354
00:17:56,628 --> 00:17:59,508
Speaker 1: each and every level of new offense, whether it's going deep,

355
00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:02,668
Speaker 1: intermediate or short pass. That's what you want. You want

356
00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:05,028
Speaker 1: a guy that you can insert him into the receiver room,

357
00:18:05,268 --> 00:18:07,828
Speaker 1: into the offense and he can make an immediate impact

358
00:18:08,068 --> 00:18:10,388
Speaker 1: and go out there and make guys miss and just

359
00:18:10,508 --> 00:18:13,068
Speaker 1: route the entire offense up as his ability to go

360
00:18:13,188 --> 00:18:15,628
Speaker 1: and make exciting plays all over. You saw him in person,

361
00:18:15,948 --> 00:18:18,668
Speaker 1: and when you're watching player in person, they sometimes can

362
00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:20,868
Speaker 1: stand down. I remember seeing Laviisca Chel in the USC

363
00:18:20,948 --> 00:18:22,908
Speaker 1: Colorado game in person, and I was like, Oh, that

364
00:18:22,948 --> 00:18:25,708
Speaker 1: guy's body is built differently he need did you know

365
00:18:25,828 --> 00:18:27,748
Speaker 1: from the second he's on floor like, this guy is

366
00:18:27,788 --> 00:18:29,668
Speaker 1: better than the Rutgers players and better than everyone else

367
00:18:29,668 --> 00:18:32,148
Speaker 1: on BC. I'm at BC one the game. We're standing

368
00:18:32,188 --> 00:18:34,548
Speaker 1: on the Rutgers sideline and we're watching my brother and

369
00:18:34,628 --> 00:18:36,508
Speaker 1: myself and I don't know who a lot of the

370
00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,388
Speaker 1: college guys are. And as the game's go, I'm like,

371
00:18:38,428 --> 00:18:41,708
Speaker 1: who the hell is number four? This Flowers kid is unbelievable.

372
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:44,708
Speaker 1: Had ten catches over one hundred yards or two touchdowns

373
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,468
Speaker 1: in that game. So there was no way if you

374
00:18:46,508 --> 00:18:49,268
Speaker 1: were a fan anybody in the building that day that

375
00:18:49,388 --> 00:18:51,668
Speaker 1: you don't watch that game and know exactly who Zay

376
00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:54,028
Speaker 1: Flowers is. I go up Matt Hassell, but he's a

377
00:18:54,068 --> 00:18:55,828
Speaker 1: big time guy. He had a sweet small out at

378
00:18:55,828 --> 00:18:57,668
Speaker 1: the game, and I go up there and I'm talking

379
00:18:57,708 --> 00:18:59,268
Speaker 1: trash to him, and then I go down on the

380
00:18:59,308 --> 00:19:01,988
Speaker 1: field and Zay Flowers makes another catch, then another cash,

381
00:19:02,028 --> 00:19:04,948
Speaker 1: then another catch. So this guy was just unbelieving. But

382
00:19:05,028 --> 00:19:06,868
Speaker 1: of course in the end we did win the game,

383
00:19:06,908 --> 00:19:10,348
Speaker 1: so they had a day, but ruck as one. Rucker's one.

384
00:19:10,428 --> 00:19:12,348
Speaker 1: I'm like, meanwhile, I'm looking at all of the different

385
00:19:12,348 --> 00:19:14,548
Speaker 1: mocked drafts on NFL dot Com and seeing like where

386
00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:17,228
Speaker 1: he was mocked to. Of course the Ravens it was

387
00:19:17,268 --> 00:19:20,868
Speaker 1: a popular spot before. Oh no, Beckham, Um, I don't know,

388
00:19:20,948 --> 00:19:23,548
Speaker 1: and the Giants as well, obviously, as we just talked

389
00:19:23,628 --> 00:19:25,628
Speaker 1: with him about. So I'm trying to find a Boston

390
00:19:25,628 --> 00:19:28,188
Speaker 1: college wide receiver who get drafted high. It's not there.

391
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:30,308
Speaker 1: It's a very unusual thing. I think it's very it's

392
00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:32,788
Speaker 1: not there. They just it's been years and years and

393
00:19:32,828 --> 00:19:35,188
Speaker 1: years and years. First round wide receiver from Boston College,

394
00:19:35,188 --> 00:19:38,388
Speaker 1: which I think makes him cool. It's fresh twenty twenty three.

395
00:19:38,548 --> 00:19:43,628
Speaker 1: That's the year it happens to our next guest, Speedster

396
00:19:44,108 --> 00:19:47,508
Speaker 1: Blazer at the University of Minnesota. He's intercepted c J. Stroud.

397
00:19:47,588 --> 00:19:50,028
Speaker 1: He's got that one. His nickname is Tea Time. Please

398
00:19:50,028 --> 00:19:53,148
Speaker 1: welcome NFL Draft prospect quarterback to Durell Smith, what's up, team,

399
00:19:54,788 --> 00:19:56,828
Speaker 1: what's up? Thank you for having me this morning. You

400
00:19:57,508 --> 00:20:00,148
Speaker 1: Oh thrilled to have you. You look great. We're so

401
00:20:00,308 --> 00:20:02,508
Speaker 1: glad you could be here, and especially since you've coming

402
00:20:02,508 --> 00:20:04,908
Speaker 1: off this great year out in college Footbay only seven

403
00:20:04,908 --> 00:20:07,188
Speaker 1: games going back few years between twenty nineteen and twenty

404
00:20:07,188 --> 00:20:11,028
Speaker 1: twenty win last year all thirteen games, career high and interceptions.

405
00:20:11,228 --> 00:20:13,508
Speaker 1: You played the East West Shrine Game. Tell us what

406
00:20:13,708 --> 00:20:16,828
Speaker 1: changed between those previous three years and then this incredible

407
00:20:16,828 --> 00:20:18,908
Speaker 1: season you had last year. I would say, just like

408
00:20:18,988 --> 00:20:21,668
Speaker 1: my mindset, I feel like just going into it like

409
00:20:21,708 --> 00:20:24,188
Speaker 1: I was way more confident this past season. I just

410
00:20:24,268 --> 00:20:28,868
Speaker 1: felt I felt like everything clicked together this past off season.

411
00:20:28,948 --> 00:20:31,668
Speaker 1: I was able to put it all together during the season.

412
00:20:31,828 --> 00:20:34,348
Speaker 1: I just feel like my confidence was like at all

413
00:20:34,388 --> 00:20:37,388
Speaker 1: time high and I was able to just go out

414
00:20:37,428 --> 00:20:39,428
Speaker 1: there and share everybody what I could do. Oh, don't

415
00:20:39,508 --> 00:20:41,588
Speaker 1: change that confidence out of all time high. That's the

416
00:20:41,628 --> 00:20:44,028
Speaker 1: thing you love to hear a dB say, no matter

417
00:20:44,028 --> 00:20:46,068
Speaker 1: who you're lined up against, you know you're going to

418
00:20:46,068 --> 00:20:49,148
Speaker 1: win that rep. And there's been some other Minnesota dbs

419
00:20:49,188 --> 00:20:52,148
Speaker 1: in recent history that have had a lot of success

420
00:20:52,348 --> 00:20:56,108
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you're following and those guys footsteps,

421
00:20:56,108 --> 00:21:00,308
Speaker 1: guys like Benjamin Saint just and then also Antoine Winfield Junior.

422
00:21:00,348 --> 00:21:02,628
Speaker 1: As you see these guys out there having a ton

423
00:21:02,668 --> 00:21:04,988
Speaker 1: of success, what does it mean to you now following

424
00:21:05,108 --> 00:21:06,988
Speaker 1: up and looking for your opportunity to do that too?

425
00:21:07,188 --> 00:21:09,468
Speaker 1: For sure, I feel like they just showed everybody, like

426
00:21:09,508 --> 00:21:12,108
Speaker 1: the ropes and like just showed everybody how to be

427
00:21:12,148 --> 00:21:14,988
Speaker 1: a professional and how to just like take care of

428
00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:18,268
Speaker 1: yourself and like treat yourself as a professional in college

429
00:21:18,308 --> 00:21:20,748
Speaker 1: before you get to the NFL. That was something that

430
00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:23,388
Speaker 1: I definitely did this past year, like when it comes

431
00:21:23,388 --> 00:21:26,828
Speaker 1: to like my body and things like that, just working

432
00:21:26,828 --> 00:21:30,028
Speaker 1: on my body, flexibility, mobility, other things like that just

433
00:21:30,148 --> 00:21:32,988
Speaker 1: to stay good for the season and everything. And I've

434
00:21:33,028 --> 00:21:35,468
Speaker 1: been talking to ben a lot during this process, just

435
00:21:35,948 --> 00:21:38,068
Speaker 1: because he already went through it, so he was able

436
00:21:38,108 --> 00:21:41,348
Speaker 1: to give me some insight on this entire process and

437
00:21:41,348 --> 00:21:43,268
Speaker 1: it helped me out a lot. He's a really cool

438
00:21:43,348 --> 00:21:46,068
Speaker 1: dude too, Benjamin. I talked to him a couple years

439
00:21:46,068 --> 00:21:47,388
Speaker 1: ago before he came out of the draft, and he

440
00:21:47,388 --> 00:21:49,268
Speaker 1: was telling me about how he gave a pair of

441
00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:52,668
Speaker 1: Jay's to the Pope, so he's gone. He's got a

442
00:21:52,708 --> 00:21:58,388
Speaker 1: lot of stories. Yes, but I did you know? I

443
00:21:58,468 --> 00:22:01,908
Speaker 1: know that Kyle covered the fact that you are a speedster,

444
00:22:02,148 --> 00:22:05,508
Speaker 1: You're a burner, you are a high school track champion

445
00:22:05,748 --> 00:22:08,468
Speaker 1: in the one and the two and back in twenty fifteen,

446
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:11,548
Speaker 1: you tweeted that you ran a ten to three two

447
00:22:11,668 --> 00:22:15,788
Speaker 1: in the one hundred. Let's go okay, So last month

448
00:22:15,788 --> 00:22:19,508
Speaker 1: at the combine, we saw you run a four four one.

449
00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:22,308
Speaker 1: It was so fast. If you blinked, you missed it.

450
00:22:22,348 --> 00:22:25,028
Speaker 1: So if you could race anyone currently in the NFL,

451
00:22:25,348 --> 00:22:28,028
Speaker 1: who would it be? What's the race about? Like? Help

452
00:22:28,148 --> 00:22:30,188
Speaker 1: kind of paint the picture for me? I would have

453
00:22:30,268 --> 00:22:32,748
Speaker 1: to go with the big dog, tyry Kill, just because

454
00:22:32,948 --> 00:22:35,868
Speaker 1: he the fastest in the league. So I would just

455
00:22:35,908 --> 00:22:38,388
Speaker 1: have to I'll probably I don't know, I probably want

456
00:22:38,388 --> 00:22:39,988
Speaker 1: to race him in one hundred meters because he has

457
00:22:39,988 --> 00:22:43,348
Speaker 1: a track background too, so I'll see what he's about

458
00:22:43,348 --> 00:22:45,588
Speaker 1: in a hundred. Let's go come up here. I love it.

459
00:22:45,588 --> 00:22:47,788
Speaker 1: I mean tyry Kill used to race. I was saying bolt,

460
00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:50,468
Speaker 1: So that's a big time. There tea time versus Cheetah

461
00:22:52,708 --> 00:22:55,508
Speaker 1: actual cheat does a third lane um Back in twenty

462
00:22:55,548 --> 00:22:57,948
Speaker 1: twenty one, you guys played Ohio State and you picked

463
00:22:57,948 --> 00:23:00,668
Speaker 1: off CJ. Stroud. He's being talked about as a top player,

464
00:23:00,708 --> 00:23:02,188
Speaker 1: but you went up against him and you had to

465
00:23:02,268 --> 00:23:05,588
Speaker 1: defensively game plan against him. When you see these top

466
00:23:05,668 --> 00:23:07,708
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming out, is that do you get a rise

467
00:23:07,748 --> 00:23:09,348
Speaker 1: out of that? Do you want to see the Mahomes,

468
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:12,308
Speaker 1: the Rogers and you want to see exactly what Joe

469
00:23:12,348 --> 00:23:14,508
Speaker 1: Burrow and those guys get or are you fine facing

470
00:23:14,508 --> 00:23:16,628
Speaker 1: whoever whenever or do you feel like you step up

471
00:23:16,668 --> 00:23:19,188
Speaker 1: when you face those best quarterbacks? Definitely, I want to

472
00:23:19,188 --> 00:23:21,548
Speaker 1: play the top people all the time. I just want

473
00:23:21,548 --> 00:23:23,948
Speaker 1: to be able to go out and show everybody what

474
00:23:24,388 --> 00:23:26,988
Speaker 1: I can do against all like the top prospects and

475
00:23:27,068 --> 00:23:31,068
Speaker 1: things like that. So it's definitely I'm definitely always up forward, challenging.

476
00:23:31,308 --> 00:23:33,668
Speaker 1: I definitely want to go against those those top guys

477
00:23:33,668 --> 00:23:36,868
Speaker 1: in the league, top guys in the league to compete against,

478
00:23:36,948 --> 00:23:39,428
Speaker 1: to race against guys that get to pick next years

479
00:23:39,748 --> 00:23:41,548
Speaker 1: tea time. You put the pinky up like that and

480
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:44,508
Speaker 1: you let everybody know game time is TEA time thrill.

481
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:45,988
Speaker 1: You're a really good guy and can't wait to watch

482
00:23:45,988 --> 00:23:47,948
Speaker 1: you play this year. Thanks for joining the show. Thank you,

483
00:23:48,188 --> 00:24:05,948
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. See you later, man Ian Rappaports.

484
00:24:06,908 --> 00:24:10,508
Speaker 1: He interrupted our Sunday evenings, tweeting out along with Mike

485
00:24:10,548 --> 00:24:13,988
Speaker 1: Garifolo and Tom Palisero the Odell Beckham Junior. He's going

486
00:24:14,068 --> 00:24:16,588
Speaker 1: to Baltimore on a one year deal worth up to

487
00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:20,708
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars. Tom Paliso adding some details here that

488
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:23,868
Speaker 1: the deal consists of an almost fourteen million dollars signing

489
00:24:23,868 --> 00:24:27,468
Speaker 1: bonus on top of a million dollars plus Bass salary,

490
00:24:27,628 --> 00:24:32,468
Speaker 1: along with three million in reachable incentives, so OBJ will

491
00:24:32,588 --> 00:24:37,148
Speaker 1: make at least fifteen million at as much as eighteen million.

492
00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:41,468
Speaker 1: Shortly after the news ob J and Lamar Jackson they

493
00:24:41,548 --> 00:24:44,708
Speaker 1: posted or Lamar posted this to his Instagram story. They

494
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:47,588
Speaker 1: were facetiming each other. You can see they look very happy,

495
00:24:47,868 --> 00:24:51,988
Speaker 1: both of them. So should the addition of Odo Beckham

496
00:24:52,068 --> 00:24:57,028
Speaker 1: Junior change Lamar Jackson's thoughts on the Ravens Peter is

497
00:24:57,028 --> 00:25:01,708
Speaker 1: Odell paying Lamar? Yeah, thing, I think it does change

498
00:25:01,868 --> 00:25:05,548
Speaker 1: the conversation a little bit for the Ravens to Lamar

499
00:25:05,628 --> 00:25:07,988
Speaker 1: and it's hey, we went and got you the number

500
00:25:08,028 --> 00:25:09,948
Speaker 1: one wide receiver on the market, and whether or not

501
00:25:09,988 --> 00:25:11,668
Speaker 1: you believe that at home. He was paid that way,

502
00:25:11,668 --> 00:25:13,388
Speaker 1: and they went and they landed him and a guy

503
00:25:13,428 --> 00:25:17,428
Speaker 1: that was courted by different teams, including obviously the teams

504
00:25:17,428 --> 00:25:20,308
Speaker 1: in the New York market. The la Rams were interested.

505
00:25:20,348 --> 00:25:22,108
Speaker 1: There have been teams all throughout the last few weeks

506
00:25:22,108 --> 00:25:25,188
Speaker 1: we've been hearing, but the Ravens landed them. They got O'Dell.

507
00:25:25,228 --> 00:25:28,748
Speaker 1: And now if you have this conversation with Lamar, it's

508
00:25:28,788 --> 00:25:31,508
Speaker 1: we have a different offensive coordinator, we got you a

509
00:25:31,628 --> 00:25:34,708
Speaker 1: new eyed receiver, We've got some changes on the roster.

510
00:25:35,068 --> 00:25:37,108
Speaker 1: We're doing everything we can to support you and maybe

511
00:25:37,188 --> 00:25:39,188
Speaker 1: upgrade our team in a way that might help you.

512
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:41,828
Speaker 1: Does it get him signed today? I don't know, but

513
00:25:41,868 --> 00:25:44,588
Speaker 1: I would say this, I don't think Beckham is just

514
00:25:44,628 --> 00:25:48,188
Speaker 1: signing blindly without some sort of assurance from Lamar that

515
00:25:48,308 --> 00:25:50,268
Speaker 1: he will be there. Like, I don't know how much

516
00:25:50,268 --> 00:25:52,548
Speaker 1: you can trust Lamar's word in that if you're Odell.

517
00:25:52,628 --> 00:25:54,588
Speaker 1: But I think if the money's right and Lamar is

518
00:25:54,588 --> 00:25:57,028
Speaker 1: already faced time and we're getting something going here, that's

519
00:25:57,148 --> 00:26:01,508
Speaker 1: enough for me to decide that over another unknown soppen

520
00:26:01,988 --> 00:26:04,548
Speaker 1: what might happen today. I don't think O'Dell Beckham sign

521
00:26:04,748 --> 00:26:07,948
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore ravens if it's Tyler Huntley under center,

522
00:26:08,028 --> 00:26:09,828
Speaker 1: and he thinks that's who it's gonna be week one,

523
00:26:09,988 --> 00:26:13,068
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be Joe Flacco or some other veteran

524
00:26:13,148 --> 00:26:15,988
Speaker 1: quarterback that they signed at this point. If Lamar is

525
00:26:16,028 --> 00:26:19,268
Speaker 1: not there, you could bring in a million different veteran quarterbacks.

526
00:26:19,428 --> 00:26:21,068
Speaker 1: I just don't know. Everyone says, well, he took the money,

527
00:26:21,068 --> 00:26:22,348
Speaker 1: he took the money, he took the money. He took

528
00:26:22,348 --> 00:26:24,668
Speaker 1: the money, but he also is Odell Beckham Junior. Don't

529
00:26:24,668 --> 00:26:26,868
Speaker 1: want to mean an relevant player on an irrelevant team,

530
00:26:27,148 --> 00:26:29,228
Speaker 1: And I think the quarterback position is huge in Baltimore,

531
00:26:29,268 --> 00:26:31,548
Speaker 1: So I do think it was a carrot in a

532
00:26:31,588 --> 00:26:35,948
Speaker 1: way too. Obviously, Lamar saying we're making moves everything we

533
00:26:35,988 --> 00:26:39,308
Speaker 1: possibly can. We're trying to support you everything short of

534
00:26:39,308 --> 00:26:41,548
Speaker 1: giving you that the shan wantson money, we're gonna do.

535
00:26:41,908 --> 00:26:43,708
Speaker 1: And I still think the offer that whatever it is

536
00:26:43,708 --> 00:26:46,268
Speaker 1: on the table is still pretty handsome. It's whether Lamar

537
00:26:46,348 --> 00:26:48,468
Speaker 1: wants to bend and say, Okay, that's enough and hey,

538
00:26:48,628 --> 00:26:51,308
Speaker 1: O'Dell Monkin, these are different changes that I need to

539
00:26:51,348 --> 00:26:53,988
Speaker 1: become a Baltimore Raven for the long term. I do

540
00:26:54,108 --> 00:26:57,468
Speaker 1: think this is them trying to entice him. If I'm Lamar,

541
00:26:57,948 --> 00:27:00,388
Speaker 1: you look at this and just from his Instagram yesterday

542
00:27:00,428 --> 00:27:03,068
Speaker 1: shows you that he's at least excited that Odell Beckham

543
00:27:03,148 --> 00:27:05,868
Speaker 1: Junior has joined the team. Man Kyle has said it

544
00:27:05,908 --> 00:27:08,868
Speaker 1: for weeks. We have no idea what Lamar Jackson is

545
00:27:08,908 --> 00:27:11,508
Speaker 1: asking for. Part of what he's asking for obviously has

546
00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:13,468
Speaker 1: to do with money in the contract, but there could

547
00:27:13,468 --> 00:27:15,348
Speaker 1: be a whole other part of it where I want

548
00:27:15,388 --> 00:27:18,188
Speaker 1: a veteran receiver, a guy that can possibly be a

549
00:27:18,228 --> 00:27:21,268
Speaker 1: difference maker for me in this offense. And that could

550
00:27:21,268 --> 00:27:22,908
Speaker 1: have been one of the things where you take off

551
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:24,948
Speaker 1: the board where all right, we got the veteran wide

552
00:27:24,988 --> 00:27:29,428
Speaker 1: receiver now because they signed Odell Beckham. Whatever Lamar Jackson

553
00:27:29,708 --> 00:27:32,468
Speaker 1: is asking for, does he come in now and change

554
00:27:32,508 --> 00:27:34,228
Speaker 1: it and say, all right, I was asking for this

555
00:27:34,268 --> 00:27:36,828
Speaker 1: price point. Now I'm gonna take it down because you

556
00:27:36,908 --> 00:27:39,228
Speaker 1: got Odell Beckham and now you can only have to

557
00:27:39,228 --> 00:27:41,348
Speaker 1: pay me this. I'm not gonna go that far and

558
00:27:41,748 --> 00:27:44,228
Speaker 1: think that. I do think Odell Beckham went to the

559
00:27:44,308 --> 00:27:46,668
Speaker 1: highest bidder. I don't know if he had those conversations

560
00:27:46,668 --> 00:27:49,028
Speaker 1: with Lamar. I think he has to assume, Hey, Lamar

561
00:27:49,108 --> 00:27:51,708
Speaker 1: Jackson was franchise tag. Now. I think Lamar might have

562
00:27:51,748 --> 00:27:54,548
Speaker 1: told him hey, either way, I'm playing this year. Now.

563
00:27:54,588 --> 00:27:57,268
Speaker 1: Whether his deal gets done and how that kind of happens,

564
00:27:57,548 --> 00:27:59,388
Speaker 1: that's yet to be seen. But I do think the

565
00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:02,188
Speaker 1: fact that he is franchise tag hasn't signed it yet,

566
00:28:02,228 --> 00:28:05,268
Speaker 1: at some point Lamar does play for the Baltimore Ravens

567
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:07,708
Speaker 1: this season, unless in fact, there's an offer seat and

568
00:28:07,708 --> 00:28:10,428
Speaker 1: they go through that entire process. But I don't think

569
00:28:10,508 --> 00:28:12,948
Speaker 1: Lamar is going to just sit out this year. So

570
00:28:13,548 --> 00:28:15,908
Speaker 1: if nothing else happens, I do think he comes back.

571
00:28:15,908 --> 00:28:18,468
Speaker 1: He plays, even if it's just one season with Odell

572
00:28:18,548 --> 00:28:21,428
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. I'm not gonna say the signing makes him

573
00:28:21,428 --> 00:28:24,148
Speaker 1: now sign a long term deal, but I do believe

574
00:28:24,228 --> 00:28:26,508
Speaker 1: those two do take the field together and they do

575
00:28:26,588 --> 00:28:28,308
Speaker 1: get it too. Can you speak to the star power

576
00:28:28,348 --> 00:28:31,188
Speaker 1: though of Odell, Like Odell's different than Alan Lazard, Odell's

577
00:28:31,188 --> 00:28:33,708
Speaker 1: different than Sammy Watkins, Odell, you name the free agent

578
00:28:33,708 --> 00:28:36,308
Speaker 1: that signed, do you think that Lamar as someone of

579
00:28:36,348 --> 00:28:39,108
Speaker 1: that generation season and is like, all right, that changes

580
00:28:39,108 --> 00:28:40,628
Speaker 1: things a little bit more than differently than if you

581
00:28:40,668 --> 00:28:42,268
Speaker 1: sign one of these other free agent wide receivers. I

582
00:28:42,268 --> 00:28:44,228
Speaker 1: think it's cool as hell. I think Lamar came into

583
00:28:44,228 --> 00:28:47,108
Speaker 1: the league in twenty eighteen, we think about the start

584
00:28:47,108 --> 00:28:49,108
Speaker 1: at Odell Beckham came. If you're a kid in high

585
00:28:49,148 --> 00:28:51,948
Speaker 1: school in college and you're watching that, you're fascinated by

586
00:28:51,988 --> 00:28:54,788
Speaker 1: Oldell Beckham. So now you get in the NFL. Odell

587
00:28:54,868 --> 00:28:57,108
Speaker 1: was playing for the Cleveland Browns. I'm sure they've shared

588
00:28:57,228 --> 00:29:00,908
Speaker 1: moments of having conversations and possibly even talking about joining

589
00:29:00,908 --> 00:29:03,548
Speaker 1: and playing together. So I do think it's cool as hell.

590
00:29:03,588 --> 00:29:06,388
Speaker 1: I just think Lamar has waited so long to get

591
00:29:06,388 --> 00:29:09,548
Speaker 1: his deal. Does he just flip no? But that is

592
00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:12,548
Speaker 1: awesome to walk in and say, Odell Beckham's lockers right

593
00:29:12,588 --> 00:29:14,348
Speaker 1: next to mine. I get a chance to talk to

594
00:29:14,428 --> 00:29:16,988
Speaker 1: him about winning a super Bowl, about playing with Eli

595
00:29:17,588 --> 00:29:20,588
Speaker 1: Manning in New York, making that big play, about everything

596
00:29:20,628 --> 00:29:23,748
Speaker 1: he's been through, from injuries to dealing with front officers,

597
00:29:23,748 --> 00:29:25,868
Speaker 1: to trying to get a contract for the past year,

598
00:29:26,068 --> 00:29:28,668
Speaker 1: and everything that he's dealt with to finally get the

599
00:29:28,748 --> 00:29:30,908
Speaker 1: money that he was asking for. You get a veteran,

600
00:29:31,148 --> 00:29:34,428
Speaker 1: another superstar to be able to share those moments because

601
00:29:34,468 --> 00:29:36,228
Speaker 1: to your point, the different guys that are in that

602
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:39,548
Speaker 1: locker room. Lamar can actually talk to Odell Beckham of

603
00:29:39,628 --> 00:29:42,548
Speaker 1: what it's like to be an absolute star in the NFL.

604
00:29:42,628 --> 00:29:44,588
Speaker 1: Everybody can't say that. That's the part of it that's

605
00:29:44,588 --> 00:29:48,348
Speaker 1: so massive is that Odell is a superstar. But is

606
00:29:48,348 --> 00:29:51,828
Speaker 1: he a great reliable receiver right now? Like he's very famous?

607
00:29:52,068 --> 00:29:53,988
Speaker 1: That does nothing for me on third and nine. You know,

608
00:29:54,108 --> 00:29:56,028
Speaker 1: it's like when it's in the red zone, I got

609
00:29:56,068 --> 00:29:57,548
Speaker 1: to throw him in the corner. I don't care what

610
00:29:57,588 --> 00:29:59,148
Speaker 1: his Harry used to look like back when he beat

611
00:29:59,148 --> 00:30:01,428
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and ten years ago. And that's awesome and

612
00:30:01,468 --> 00:30:03,228
Speaker 1: I really like it. But I just think there are

613
00:30:03,228 --> 00:30:05,748
Speaker 1: so many players who would rather have right, I'd rather

614
00:30:05,828 --> 00:30:08,068
Speaker 1: have DJ Moore, I'd rather have Chris Godwin. I can

615
00:30:08,148 --> 00:30:09,708
Speaker 1: keep going down the list. The guys have been more

616
00:30:09,748 --> 00:30:11,988
Speaker 1: productive recently. It's nothing personal. It's just what have you

617
00:30:12,028 --> 00:30:14,268
Speaker 1: done for me lately? But I see the Ravens working

618
00:30:14,348 --> 00:30:16,708
Speaker 1: like this and desperate times, and I think this is

619
00:30:16,988 --> 00:30:18,948
Speaker 1: throw a little bait out there. Why the hell not.

620
00:30:19,068 --> 00:30:21,508
Speaker 1: We're doing everything we can. It's parenting one oh one,

621
00:30:21,588 --> 00:30:24,868
Speaker 1: Like you're there's an adult child relationship here, Like your

622
00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:27,068
Speaker 1: kid won't do something and that you really need them

623
00:30:27,068 --> 00:30:28,308
Speaker 1: to do. What do you do? You bribe them and

624
00:30:28,348 --> 00:30:31,548
Speaker 1: maybe you're kind of ashamed of it, but it usually works. Listen.

625
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:34,028
Speaker 1: Last summer, my daughter, my six year old, did swim team.

626
00:30:34,188 --> 00:30:36,068
Speaker 1: We practice, we practice. She was ready. On the day

627
00:30:36,108 --> 00:30:38,228
Speaker 1: of the first meet, she would not dive in, she

628
00:30:38,268 --> 00:30:40,748
Speaker 1: would not get on the block. She was paralyzed. Everyone's like,

629
00:30:40,748 --> 00:30:42,188
Speaker 1: we gotta start the race. We gotta stop there. As

630
00:30:42,228 --> 00:30:43,268
Speaker 1: I walk over right, come on, you can do it,

631
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:44,908
Speaker 1: you can do it. I encourage her everywhere. In my

632
00:30:45,108 --> 00:30:46,908
Speaker 1: most desperate moment, I said, if you do this, when

633
00:30:46,948 --> 00:30:48,308
Speaker 1: we go home, you can watch Netlix. You can watch

634
00:30:48,308 --> 00:30:50,148
Speaker 1: that netflicks for five hours. She jumped right in the pool. Again.

635
00:30:51,268 --> 00:30:54,068
Speaker 1: This is the Ravens saying, if you sign it, you

636
00:30:54,108 --> 00:30:56,428
Speaker 1: can watch Netflix for five hours. We'll go get your

637
00:30:56,428 --> 00:30:59,668
Speaker 1: friend and someone who's really fun, someone who's really talented. Now,

638
00:30:59,748 --> 00:31:01,548
Speaker 1: will you sign this deal that's been on the table

639
00:31:01,548 --> 00:31:03,868
Speaker 1: for over a year and there's two there's five very

640
00:31:03,868 --> 00:31:06,708
Speaker 1: powerful words. When this is over. If this thing goes

641
00:31:06,748 --> 00:31:11,148
Speaker 1: disastrously and Lamar is traded, doesn't sign, holds out five

642
00:31:11,268 --> 00:31:13,668
Speaker 1: very powerful words we will hear from the Baltimore Ravens.

643
00:31:13,908 --> 00:31:17,268
Speaker 1: We did everything we could, and that is how you

644
00:31:17,308 --> 00:31:18,828
Speaker 1: play it to your fan base. That is how you

645
00:31:18,868 --> 00:31:21,428
Speaker 1: play it in the pr thing. We did everything we

646
00:31:21,508 --> 00:31:24,308
Speaker 1: could for Lamar and he was not comfortable with it,

647
00:31:24,348 --> 00:31:26,068
Speaker 1: so there's nothing else we can do. I think it's

648
00:31:26,068 --> 00:31:28,148
Speaker 1: savvy if I was Lamar, though, I'm not changing my

649
00:31:28,188 --> 00:31:30,988
Speaker 1: course because a one year deal for guy who's gonna

650
00:31:30,988 --> 00:31:32,948
Speaker 1: catch sixty one balls then play for another team the

651
00:31:32,948 --> 00:31:34,908
Speaker 1: next year and maybe the last few games of the year,

652
00:31:34,908 --> 00:31:36,508
Speaker 1: he's disgruntled and it all goes to hell. I mean,

653
00:31:36,508 --> 00:31:38,388
Speaker 1: we're not talking about some receiver in the vacuum here.

654
00:31:38,388 --> 00:31:40,308
Speaker 1: This guy's a lot of body of work to go by.

655
00:31:40,468 --> 00:31:44,148
Speaker 1: I'm not blinking because of that. Yeah, I mean, but also,

656
00:31:44,188 --> 00:31:46,908
Speaker 1: if you're Lamar and you can't get the money where

657
00:31:46,908 --> 00:31:48,508
Speaker 1: you want the money to be, but you know that

658
00:31:48,548 --> 00:31:51,588
Speaker 1: the options and the time is ticking away and you

659
00:31:51,668 --> 00:31:55,668
Speaker 1: don't have the leverage that you do, maybe this is okay, fine, Like, well,

660
00:31:55,708 --> 00:31:57,708
Speaker 1: then go get me one of these guys that's still

661
00:31:57,708 --> 00:32:00,388
Speaker 1: out here, because there's not a ton of guys just

662
00:32:00,508 --> 00:32:02,868
Speaker 1: hanging around still. And he sees what's going on with

663
00:32:02,908 --> 00:32:06,708
Speaker 1: the Jets and Aaron Rodgers having Ellen Lazard come in.

664
00:32:07,068 --> 00:32:09,228
Speaker 1: That's also not like you know a guy that's going

665
00:32:09,268 --> 00:32:11,668
Speaker 1: to make a ton of waves, but it's his guy,

666
00:32:11,788 --> 00:32:15,188
Speaker 1: and we know the Lamar and Odell they have a relationship.

667
00:32:15,228 --> 00:32:18,588
Speaker 1: And also for the Ravens, this gives them draft flexibility.

668
00:32:18,788 --> 00:32:22,028
Speaker 1: Now they don't have to right away take a wide receiver.

669
00:32:22,228 --> 00:32:24,788
Speaker 1: They can get that cornerback if they want that. They

670
00:32:24,788 --> 00:32:27,748
Speaker 1: can trade down and pick up another second round pick

671
00:32:27,828 --> 00:32:30,428
Speaker 1: if they want. Maybe they get Joey Porter Junior. I

672
00:32:30,468 --> 00:32:32,468
Speaker 1: don't think he'll still be there when they're on the

673
00:32:32,508 --> 00:32:35,028
Speaker 1: clock if they stay put, but maybe and then get

674
00:32:35,028 --> 00:32:38,388
Speaker 1: a wide receiver later. But this really helps them out

675
00:32:38,428 --> 00:32:41,508
Speaker 1: because they don't have a great track record with wide

676
00:32:41,548 --> 00:32:44,948
Speaker 1: receivers at the draft. So this is a nice situation

677
00:32:44,988 --> 00:32:47,788
Speaker 1: for them to bring someone in on a one year deal.

678
00:32:47,948 --> 00:32:50,348
Speaker 1: See if he can still move around. He's thirty years old,

679
00:32:50,428 --> 00:32:52,828
Speaker 1: he's had two bad acls. You don't know what you're

680
00:32:52,868 --> 00:32:55,508
Speaker 1: going to get. It behooves them to give him a

681
00:32:55,548 --> 00:32:58,468
Speaker 1: short term contract like this. Yeah, I look at it.

682
00:32:58,508 --> 00:33:00,308
Speaker 1: From the other teams that were involved. As I mentioned,

683
00:33:00,308 --> 00:33:03,068
Speaker 1: the Rams were interested. The Jets had a visit planned

684
00:33:03,188 --> 00:33:06,748
Speaker 1: for today doesn't happen, and are the Jets sitting here

685
00:33:06,748 --> 00:33:09,068
Speaker 1: like kicking themselves saying, ah, we missed out on Odell.

686
00:33:09,108 --> 00:33:10,828
Speaker 1: I think he was a nice to have for the Jets.

687
00:33:10,908 --> 00:33:13,348
Speaker 1: It was a luxury for the Ravens. I think if

688
00:33:13,348 --> 00:33:15,908
Speaker 1: it helps getting Lamar Jackson, it's a must have and

689
00:33:16,028 --> 00:33:18,348
Speaker 1: that's why you pay the extra money. And he say, Okay,

690
00:33:18,588 --> 00:33:20,788
Speaker 1: to your point, Kyle not only checked the box public

691
00:33:20,788 --> 00:33:24,948
Speaker 1: relations wise, he's immediately I'm sorry, all respect to Rashad Bateman.

692
00:33:24,988 --> 00:33:27,428
Speaker 1: I think O'Dell's the number one wide receiver. Yeah, I

693
00:33:27,468 --> 00:33:29,348
Speaker 1: think he is. And Bateman just hasn't been healthier enough

694
00:33:29,388 --> 00:33:31,868
Speaker 1: and hasn't produced enough in the NFL to say that

695
00:33:31,948 --> 00:33:35,068
Speaker 1: he's worthy of that title. So Colin, you mentioned DeMarcus

696
00:33:35,108 --> 00:33:37,428
Speaker 1: Robinson had the best stats in their wide receiver's room.

697
00:33:37,708 --> 00:33:40,668
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham is now a legit number one wide receiver

698
00:33:40,708 --> 00:33:43,228
Speaker 1: for Lamar. So if he starts rattling off, well, the

699
00:33:43,308 --> 00:33:44,988
Speaker 1: offense hasn't changed in three years. Well we got a

700
00:33:44,988 --> 00:33:47,468
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. I don't have the wide receiving options

701
00:33:47,468 --> 00:33:50,028
Speaker 1: and the other contemporaries at quarterback half, well we got

702
00:33:50,068 --> 00:33:53,388
Speaker 1: you Odell Beckham. To your point, public relations wise, they

703
00:33:53,428 --> 00:33:55,468
Speaker 1: did everything they kind of had to do. To kind

704
00:33:55,468 --> 00:33:58,028
Speaker 1: of satisfy his needs as far as everything outside the money,

705
00:33:58,108 --> 00:34:00,028
Speaker 1: I still can't see though. Ja to your point, if

706
00:34:00,068 --> 00:34:02,508
Speaker 1: I was someone who's advising Lamar, I can't tell him

707
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:04,588
Speaker 1: to sign that one year deal. I just can't. You

708
00:34:04,588 --> 00:34:06,228
Speaker 1: sign a one year deal. You make thirty some million

709
00:34:06,268 --> 00:34:07,788
Speaker 1: bucks and then week six you get a high uncle

710
00:34:07,828 --> 00:34:09,668
Speaker 1: sprain and you missed six weeks, and then now it's

711
00:34:09,668 --> 00:34:11,588
Speaker 1: like you're more injury proning, you're a year older, and

712
00:34:11,628 --> 00:34:13,348
Speaker 1: the next year we're going through all this. In fact,

713
00:34:13,388 --> 00:34:15,628
Speaker 1: your value is even less next year. I just I

714
00:34:15,628 --> 00:34:17,508
Speaker 1: can't see him doing it either. I don't. I think

715
00:34:17,548 --> 00:34:19,188
Speaker 1: he'll go to the nuclear efferen just and it's not

716
00:34:19,268 --> 00:34:22,348
Speaker 1: show up, possibly with a new offensive coordinator, a weapon

717
00:34:22,428 --> 00:34:25,188
Speaker 1: like old Ell Beckham. To add, possibly Lamar plays the

718
00:34:25,268 --> 00:34:27,588
Speaker 1: season this year? What was the question marks? Now? All right,

719
00:34:27,788 --> 00:34:29,628
Speaker 1: any team can sign up, but hey, the offense that

720
00:34:29,708 --> 00:34:31,748
Speaker 1: he plays in it limits him. He's a running back

721
00:34:31,748 --> 00:34:34,948
Speaker 1: blah blah blah as ai and a passing offense with

722
00:34:35,108 --> 00:34:37,668
Speaker 1: a better receiver out. Why and we fast forward to

723
00:34:37,788 --> 00:34:41,468
Speaker 1: next season, it's a line of eight teams. Who knows Peter,

724
00:34:41,548 --> 00:34:45,708
Speaker 1: It's going to be all about Todd munkin. That's it.

725
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:50,628
Speaker 1: It's coming through a hundred times on our show. We're

726
00:34:50,628 --> 00:34:52,788
Speaker 1: wrapping up the show, and it was one of the

727
00:34:52,908 --> 00:34:56,908
Speaker 1: more shocking name drops in a press conference at the

728
00:34:56,948 --> 00:35:00,388
Speaker 1: Masters that you've ever seen. So John Rom, Spanish born

729
00:35:00,508 --> 00:35:03,308
Speaker 1: John Roum, who went to Arizona State, wins the Masters.

730
00:35:03,348 --> 00:35:05,508
Speaker 1: Comes a fourth Spanish war player to ever win the Masters,

731
00:35:05,788 --> 00:35:07,468
Speaker 1: gets in front of a press conference in front of

732
00:35:07,908 --> 00:35:11,508
Speaker 1: thousands of media and all the fans, and he reveals

733
00:35:11,508 --> 00:35:16,748
Speaker 1: a story that of all people, zach Ertz. Zach Ertz

734
00:35:17,588 --> 00:35:21,388
Speaker 1: sent him a text as he was walking up to

735
00:35:21,428 --> 00:35:24,348
Speaker 1: the first hole and said, I'm watching this and you've

736
00:35:24,388 --> 00:35:27,148
Speaker 1: got it. Here's the turn. The first green is looking

737
00:35:27,188 --> 00:35:29,548
Speaker 1: like a walk in the park and John Rom said, no,

738
00:35:29,988 --> 00:35:33,188
Speaker 1: thank you, zach Don't ever do that again. Please. He

739
00:35:33,388 --> 00:35:36,308
Speaker 1: absolutely botched the first hole on the first tee of

740
00:35:36,388 --> 00:35:39,668
Speaker 1: the first day, and his comment commentary is hilarious because

741
00:35:39,668 --> 00:35:42,708
Speaker 1: it's of all people, zach Ertz gets brought into this thing,

742
00:35:42,948 --> 00:35:45,108
Speaker 1: and Arts of course would tweet back to John Rom

743
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,148
Speaker 1: afterwards and be like, see, I knew you had it, dude,

744
00:35:47,188 --> 00:35:49,588
Speaker 1: Like it was all you. Yeah. John Rom, a Spanish

745
00:35:49,588 --> 00:35:54,068
Speaker 1: born golfer, sets up there big fixed mentioned zach ertzs football.

746
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:57,788
Speaker 1: It's everywhere, folks it zach Ertz set this whole thing up. So,

747
00:35:57,988 --> 00:36:00,668
Speaker 1: I mean the double bogie on the first hole and

748
00:36:00,708 --> 00:36:03,508
Speaker 1: then he comes back to win it all. Zach Ertz

749
00:36:03,548 --> 00:36:05,668
Speaker 1: kind of gave that energy out to the world. He didn't.

750
00:36:05,668 --> 00:36:08,588
Speaker 1: And I want to understand the first hole of seventy

751
00:36:08,588 --> 00:36:11,148
Speaker 1: two double bogie. And it wasn't just a double bogie.

752
00:36:11,188 --> 00:36:12,988
Speaker 1: It was a four putt double bogie. It's not like

753
00:36:12,988 --> 00:36:14,508
Speaker 1: he went out of bounds or in the woods. He

754
00:36:14,548 --> 00:36:17,108
Speaker 1: was just hacking it up. Only the second player ever

755
00:36:17,228 --> 00:36:19,188
Speaker 1: to double bogie the first hole of the tournament and

756
00:36:19,268 --> 00:36:21,548
Speaker 1: win it, and the first one is decades and decades ago.

757
00:36:23,028 --> 00:36:25,028
Speaker 1: What I love is this morning we're talking about there

758
00:36:25,068 --> 00:36:27,508
Speaker 1: like he double bogie, it was four putts, and this

759
00:36:27,668 --> 00:36:30,148
Speaker 1: was only saying I'm like, no idea what the double

760
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:31,948
Speaker 1: boll is with the four putt? So I had to

761
00:36:31,988 --> 00:36:34,828
Speaker 1: go research. That's why I spent I figured it out.

762
00:36:34,908 --> 00:36:36,988
Speaker 1: It looked like many golf where he just kept missing.

763
00:36:37,468 --> 00:36:40,148
