Yes, 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: during annual league meeting week and you've done the league meeting, Shook, 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: what was your time at a. 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: League meeting like it was in Phoenix. It was at 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: a quite a resort and it was a fantastic don't 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: think I got a swag bag though, but definitely a 10 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 2: higher air of luxury, and you know, you're around some 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: real decision makers, some real power players in the NFL. 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: There's always a little bit of awkwardness that we work 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: for the NFL and you're when you're covering the NFL 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: and you're like staying at the same hotels or you know, 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: seeing them around. 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: But it's no more awkward than at this. 17 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Owner's meetings, where you just feel like, why why am 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: I at this hotel with the billionaires because there's a 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: ton of other reporters there, but they don't let them 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: stay in the hotel. They have to stay like somewhere 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: nearby and then drive in every day. But no, we 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: are not there, but the rest of the league is. 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: And this is going to be a tight news show, Nick, 24 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna kind of clear the decks of a lot 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: that's happened over the weekend. Just a lot of little 26 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: drips and drabs. But if you want to stay on 27 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: top of the NFL a lot of stuff. I think 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: you want to know. The sixteen AFC coaches all spoke 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: to the media for anywhere between thirty and fifty minutes 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: on Monday morning, So we'll go over a lot of 31 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: what they said, and then we'll get you on your way, 32 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot's coming on Tuesday with 33 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: all the rules changes, the NFC coaches are happening. We'll 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: actually get Jordan rod Rieg of The Athletic and also 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: NFL Daily, who's there. She's going to come on the 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: show along with me and Patrick and Colleen and so 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: Eric always laughs at me, shook When I say it's 38 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: going to be just like a tight show. I think 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: we can do it. 40 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: I mean we've been known to be keep it tight 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: sometimes and go a little bit longer sometimes. 42 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we need a vamp. Today will be fine, Okay. Also, 43 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: Nick looks great. He's wearing his NFL Pro shirt. You 44 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: can't really totally see it, but he also his background 45 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: looks great, so good job moving in. Congratulations to you 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: and your friends. It looks fantastic. 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: I got to give a shout out number one to 48 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: Bill Smith or slide me the shirt you know, always 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: down to promote NFL Pro. Check it out. It's a 50 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: very useful two tool. And then number two to the haters, 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: to everybody who might hate, including you, Greg on my 52 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: half apparent background last week in the middle of moving, 53 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: I've now put the hard set in. We're back to normal, baby, 54 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: and it looks fantastic. 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: Least, you know, sometimes constructive criticism, it's just motivation. So 56 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: I think the YouTube commenters if they were getting on you, 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it looks great. It doesn't always 58 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: look great when you're looking at these coaches by the 59 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: way at the breakfast, because they're just surrounded by guys 60 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: and girls are just like over the top of them, 61 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: but they're sitting there supposedly supposed to be eating breakfast, 62 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: but no one really usually does that. And then there 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: are some coaches who are on the hot seat and 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: it feels like they are on the hot seat, and 65 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: then there's just a weird vibe at a time of 66 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: year that shouldn't have weird vibes. That was the vibe 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: I got from Mike McDaniel today. He answered a lot 68 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: of questions about Tyreek Hill, including one about, you know, 69 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: whether Tyreek Hill was going to still be on this 70 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: roster after some social media we'll talk about. 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: After listening to McDaniel. 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 4: I can certainly say with certainty that at this certain moment, 73 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: you know. 74 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: I think that that's uh. 75 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: There a lot of things can happen in the National 76 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: Football League. So you throw absolutes out there, and then 77 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: I'm one, hey, you said this, I mean, but yeah, 78 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: we are fully planning to move forward as a better 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: version of our of our relationship with Tyreek and the 80 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins. So I have no reason to think otherwise. 81 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: Like a lot of McDaniel's quotes, it's a fun journey 82 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to get there. The part that struck me other than 83 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: him repeating the word certainly five times at the beginning, 84 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: was that they want to move forward with a better 85 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: version of their relationship with Tyreek Hill. So like that 86 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: right there is saying like, well, the version of our 87 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: relationship last year what wasn't the best, then we're hoping 88 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: to move forward with this better version of it. 89 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: Now. Yeah, it's been a weird you know, talk about 90 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel answers, which are can be weird journeys in themselves. 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: It's been a weird journey for the Dolphins in Tyreek 92 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: over the last year because it wasn't too long ago 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: that he was the focal point of the most explosive 94 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: offense in the NFL and he was the center of fun. 95 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: He was catching touchdown passes, doing backflips and grabbing a 96 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: phone on the sideline and doing a selfie video that 97 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 2: went viral. And then the next year he was not 98 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: really like a parent in the offense at times. He 99 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: didn't get the targets and the looks that he had. 100 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: He had that incident where he was handcuffed before game, 101 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: like it just seemed like he was never healthy. There 102 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: was just a lot of things that went off track 103 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 2: for them, outside of losing to a tongue of a 104 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: little early in the season. So if there ever were 105 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: a time to have a bounce back year, it is 106 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: now for the Dolphins, and I think it starts with 107 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: a guy that makes a lot of money is a 108 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: focal point of your offense. And Tyreek Hill, is that 109 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: going to happen? Is that guaranteed? I don't know. I'm 110 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: not going to bank on it. I don't really trust 111 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: them at this point, but at least they're working toward it. 112 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 3: We'll see if they are. 113 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: Even the way he got to the answer like, look, 114 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: a lot of things could happen in the NFL. It's 115 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: not totally up to Mike McDaniel either. But the reason 116 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: it's popped up more in recent weeks is or over 117 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: the weekend, Tyreek Hill had a tweet in response to 118 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: over the Cap actually was asked the question is just 119 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: some part of some Twitter mailbag of like, hey, who 120 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: do you think is like a possible big name that 121 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: could get traded over the weekend? 122 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: Who's to be the most likely? 123 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: And he wrote out tyreek Hill, and I think he's 124 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: just spitballing based on contracts, based on everything we've seen. 125 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: And tyreek Hill, you know, quote tweets that with with 126 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: a peace side and lets everyone interpret that how they wish. 127 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: And McDaniel's getting grilled by it about it, and he's saying, well, 128 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: Tyreek's an entertainer and it's just like, I don't know, man. 129 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: He has been known to throw out the deuces when 130 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: he scores touchdowns. 131 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: Sure, but he's just like, yeah, don't take what he 132 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: says seriously on social media. But I am and I 133 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: think that deal could happen, by the way. He also 134 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: was asked Mike McDaniel about Kalais Campbell and Tron Armstead. 135 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Armstead is their left tackle still on their roster, but 136 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: they're not sure about his status whether he's going to 137 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: keep playing football or not, and McDaniel said they're hoping 138 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: to get a conclusion to that soon. And then Kalais Campbell, 139 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: he mentioned, is in a great position where they would 140 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: love to have him back, but that Kalais Campbell is 141 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: at the point of his career he might have options 142 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: after playing so well. So Kalaius Campbell I think is 143 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: kind of figuring out where he wants to go, but 144 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: Miami would like to get him back. 145 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: He could take this the straight hand approach too, just 146 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: skip training camp entirely and sign somewhere. 147 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: Yes, I think that would be a good move. 148 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: I think Aaron would Aaron Rodgers do that, but just 149 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: with the mini camp and OTAs. 150 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a little bit. 151 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: The Bills, they signed Kristin Benford over the weekend four years, 152 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: seventy six million dollars. It's really been a focus of 153 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: their offseason, signing guys two long term deals that were 154 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: already on the roster. James Cook, however, according to the GM, 155 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean will not be getting a new contract anytime soon, 156 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: but they do lock up Christin Benford. A nice development 157 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: story for a guy that was taken on the third 158 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: day of the draft. 159 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, this speaks to their philosophy and when you know, 160 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: Sean McDermott kind of retained or regained control of the defense. 161 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: They were shifting back toward the defense last year. And 162 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: it doesn't answer a screaming need that we had talked 163 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: about for them, but it kind of does because we 164 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: talked about depth in the secondary. He was already on 165 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: the roster, but they lock him down and at least 166 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: get that taken care of before addressing other areas. So 167 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: it makes a lot of sense. And then I think 168 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: you said it when we talked about it last week, 169 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: which is the James Cook felt like a guy that 170 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: they were going to extend, So not a surprise there. 171 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: But then again, if he has a great year, does 172 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: the price go up? You know, it's kind of a 173 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: precarious position when it comes to planning out your offense 174 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: unless you just view running back as an interchangeable position. 175 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: You could also use the franchise tag on him, which 176 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: isn't too crazy at running back. 177 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: So that's always out there. I not to pat ourselves at. 178 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,119 Speaker 1: The back, but I go back to our off season 179 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: previews for these teams, and part of the exercise was 180 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: looking at guys that could sign long term, and we said, wow, 181 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: it's crazy how the Bills, like so many of their 182 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: good players are up for free agency. If you made 183 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: a list of the best free agents in twenty twenty six, 184 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: a lot of them are Bills and we went through it, 185 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: so we said it maybe makes sense for them to 186 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: start signing these guys early. Since then, they have signed 187 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: Greg Russo, Khalil Shakir, Terrell Bernard, and Kristin Benford for 188 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: long term contracts. So if you're wondering, not to mention, 189 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: you opened up cap space by somehow paying Josh Allen 190 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: even more money, So good job on that too. So 191 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: if you're wondering how team like the Eagles, And I've 192 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: heard this like, how do all these good players like 193 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: fit under the cap? It doesn't make any sense. This 194 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: is how like teams like the Bills planning a year ahead. 195 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: So so good on the Bills, even though they weren't 196 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: crazy in free agency. They made a couple of nice pickups, 197 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: but their best pickups were what they did in house. 198 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: Let's talk about your Browns. It's Brown season, which means 199 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: draft season. They have a high pick. They came out 200 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: and said, weirdly, let's just start with this part of 201 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: the equation that it's unlikely that they will trade up 202 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: for Kim Ward. That's what Andrew Berry said, and then 203 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: Stefanski said it as well. 204 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: Andrew Berry, their GM. 205 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: You just don't normally hear team say it's unlikely we're 206 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: going to make that trade up. 207 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: Why why do you think they did that? 208 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: Nick? Well, first off, there's no precedent for a team 209 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: going from two to one in the history of the 210 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 2: NFL in the common draft era, So that's probably the 211 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: first point. You could just say, well, it's never been 212 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: done before, and so we're not likely to do that. 213 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 2: I also think that if you admitted that you were 214 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: likely to are you we at least interested in it, 215 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: give up a little bit of leverage, and ultimately, and 216 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: most importantly, I just think they're not gonna do it. 217 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna let the draft come to them. 218 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: Even at number two. Maybe you see them trade down 219 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: if they don't want a quarterback or if they go 220 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: with a dual carter. All the options are on the table. 221 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: I've been saying this for weeks, and I think it's 222 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: gonna be more and more true as we get close 223 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: to the draft. It will be one of the more 224 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: unpredictable drafts we've seen over the last decade. And it 225 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: starts at number two with what the Browns can do 226 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: because frankly, even though we know they need a quarterback, 227 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: we really have no idea in which direction they're gonna proceed. 228 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: I hear you, and it's true. 229 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: All options are available, and they could just be saying 230 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: that to say something. 231 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: But it's just weird that they said that. 232 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Usually they say all options are on the table, but 233 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: they were kind of saying this option is not on 234 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the table. My read of that was aire they wouldn't 235 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: say that unless it was true. I don't think they 236 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: would go that hard actually even though I know it's 237 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: lion season. And then b they're they're almost saying, don't 238 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: use us as as potential bait, like if they hear 239 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: it like the Titans, like we're sending in a signal 240 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: like we're not moving up, so don't try to use 241 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: us to make it sound like they're moving up. Who knows, 242 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: or maybe they're trying to tell teams out there. The 243 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: draft starts at two, like you did come to us, 244 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: don't come to Tennessee. 245 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: And this follows Tennessee kind of putting it out there 246 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: slyly last week, which is like, hey, you know, we're 247 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 2: not set on what we're going to do. Like they 248 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: didn't explicitly say it, but they were like, we take calls. 249 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: If you wanted to trade up, you want to give 250 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: us King's ransom. 251 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Okay, Now that's part one of the Browns equation. Part 252 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: two is that Kirk Cousins was taking pictures at a 253 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland area Chipotle tohook. I thought of having you do 254 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: the show from that Chipotle, but we don't have a sponsorship. 255 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're really a Chipotle guy. You 256 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: take care of your body somehow, I doubt it Yeah. 257 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: Actually, here's the thing. If you're taking care of your 258 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: body and looking for something pretty clean, you can go 259 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: to Chipotle and get a meal of solid meal that 260 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: that'll fit into your macros. I go to Chipotle all 261 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: the time. When I found out about this, I first 262 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: wanted to know which Chipotle because I frequent a few 263 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: of them in the Cleveland area. And number two, how 264 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 2: was I not there? Because I'm there all of the time. 265 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: So missed opportunity for me. But interesting, for sure, it. 266 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: Would have been amazing it really, I mean, he was 267 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: probably meeting with the Browns. There was a report that 268 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: he wants to be traded after the draft. That's been 269 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: consistent for a couple of months. It was presented as 270 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: new this last week, but actually our insiders had that. 271 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: Garatfolo said that back before free agency. I got to 272 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: think that when Miles Garrett was saying he had an 273 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: idea of what they were doing at quarterback, I gotta. 274 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: Think it's Kirk Cousins. 275 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: K he was meeting with the Browns and he just 276 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: wants to get past the draft and make sure that 277 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: they don't take a quarterback, and then he's going to 278 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: be a Cleveland Brown so I'm not buying you Stefanski, 279 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: when you're talking about Schadur and what a great impression 280 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: he's making and they are going to work him out 281 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: by the way. 282 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, And when Miles nodded with that interview with Andrews 283 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: Siciliano and looked pretty confident he knew it was going 284 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: to be quarterback. Immediately in my head, I was like, 285 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: it's Kirk Cousins and the picture sets off. You know, 286 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: everybody texts me. 287 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 3: What do you know? What's going on? 288 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm telling you guys, just wait. Wait 289 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: for April, late April. I think that's when something potentially happens. 290 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: It just I can't fathom a scenario in which they 291 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: go into the season with Kenny Pickett and a rookie 292 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: quarterback and those are their only options. It just makes 293 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: too much sense, and I think something does get done eventually. 294 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: The part of their. 295 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Public statements I didn't buy this week was Kevin Stefanski's 296 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: total belief in Kenny Pickett. He was bringing up unprompted, 297 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: though he did bring him up up prompted, like we 298 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: love us some Kenny Pickett, And to me, that's maneuvering 299 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: to see if teams will come up and potentially trade 300 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: with them, who knows, I don't know. 301 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 3: You better not do that. 302 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: And if you're bringing in Kirk Cousins, obviously it's not necessary, 303 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: but they also know they could in theory they could 304 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: have competition for Kirk Cousins. 305 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 3: I really doubt it. 306 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: I think he is going to be the Cleveland Browns 307 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and it just makes sense by the way 308 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy has them. Their owner spoke on Monday and to 309 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: the Cleveland brown reporters. 310 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: I just thought this was interesting. He said. 311 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: The organization was still recovering from quote a swing and 312 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: a miss on Watson. Deshaun Watson, hold me and Dee, 313 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: his wife, who also co owner accountable. He's calling Deshaun 314 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: Watson a swinging a miss, recognizing the obvious, but also 315 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: a different change in tone from the owner of the 316 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, almost putting him in a past tense like 317 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is somewhere on Monday and reading that the 318 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: owner of the Browns just called him a swing and 319 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: a miss, and. 320 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: Not just a swing and a miss, but a big 321 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: swing and a miss. Finally, for the first time, the 322 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: organization admits, yeah, we screwed up. We blew that one, 323 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: and it's in the past. I mean, two achilles injuries. 324 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: I can't imagine he'd be healthy enough to play for 325 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 2: any substantial portion of this season, And why would you 326 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: want him to play with given what you've gotten from 327 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: him in the last couple of years anyway, injuries aside. 328 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: When he was healthy, he only looked good for a 329 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: half in Baltimore two seasons ago that carried everybody's belief 330 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: this season. 331 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: That half is like the most fo overrated half I 332 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: can think of because even that it was like a 333 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: bunch of schemed up like screens and it's. 334 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: Like, not one nice for a touchdown like that? 335 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 5: Was it? 336 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 337 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: It was like. 338 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting though that those injuries, him tearing the achilles 339 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: to begin with, and then he had a recurrent uh 340 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: setback sometime during this offseason or during the end of 341 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: last season. 342 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 3: It's almost taken the Browns off the hook. 343 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: But it's also funny because I don't think you're supposed 344 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: to be saying this stuff publicly. They almost have to 345 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: pretend like it's a good faith effort for him to 346 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: return because there's insurance money involved and they're. 347 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 3: Not going to cut him any times soon. Just just 348 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: a total mess. 349 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: Let's flip to the organization that used to be in 350 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: Cleveland and unfortunately for Browns fans, has been run very 351 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: well since moving to Baltimore. John Harbaugh signed a three 352 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: year contented extension to remain the Ravens head coach, which 353 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: is like, it's not even big news, but it just 354 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: feels like, Wow, this guy is now sixty two years old, 355 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: like the sneaky oldest coach in the league. He has 356 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: been there so long, I believe the second longest ten 357 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: yurre head coach behind Mike Tomlin. And he's signed up 358 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: for another three years. And before that they had Billick. 359 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: They've had some largely a lot of continuity at the 360 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: head coaching position since they've been in Baltimore. And what 361 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: better way to ring in your thirtieth season in Baltimore, 362 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: which they're wearing a commemorative patch for this year. They 363 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: announced that today than by giving the guy who is 364 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: the patron Saint of special teams coordinator to head coach 365 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: roll 'ro out in the NFL a three year extension. 366 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: They are I think they've overtaken the Steelers as a 367 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: model of continuity because unlike the Steelers, they've been able 368 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: to figure out quarterback and make the right moves to 369 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: stay competitive on a year by year basis and not 370 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: just get into the playoffs. That's what keeps that rivalry strong. 371 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: Right, I was gonna say, unlike the Steelers, they win playoffs. Now, 372 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: it's not nearly enough in the Lamar era to satisfy everyone, 373 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: but going into those playoffs, the reason people are disappointed 374 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: is because they're legitimate championship contenders and the Steelers just 375 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: haven't been. And the Ravens, you know, they do have 376 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: two Super Bowls since moving to Baltimore. It's now been 377 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: what thirteen years since the Flaco season, so it's been 378 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: a little time there. Due John Harbaugh, though at different 379 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: points in his tenure in Baltimore, has been on just 380 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: like the slightest of hot seats. There was one year 381 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: before they drafted Lamar where he absolutely was, and then 382 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: even a couple of years ago at this very league meeting, 383 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: there was a report that Lamar Jackson had asked for 384 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: a trade and at that point it just everything in 385 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: Baltimore felt a little up in the air. And what 386 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: have they done since then? Remember they were coming off 387 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,239 Speaker 1: a ten and seven season there, which was coming off 388 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: an eight and nine season, so it wasn't the same vibe. 389 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: Since then, they've won thirteen games twelve games, had the 390 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: best offense in the league, and now Harbas says they're 391 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: actually already talking internally about giving Lamar another extension, which 392 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: makes me think they must be kind of far along 393 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: on that. 394 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 3: Why is he saying that publicly? 395 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: But maybe they saw the Josh Allen thing and they 396 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: were just going to give Lamar a raise. 397 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the new precedent for how to extend a 398 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: quarterback early and follow the Howie Roseman approach of team building. 399 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: And also it avoids the drama that we dealt with 400 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: for like two years regarding Lamar's contract situation. So that'd 401 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: be a load off of my shoulders, as somebody who's 402 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: monitoring news constantly. Sure extend Lamar. He's obviously got two 403 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 2: MVPs to his name. He probably should have won one 404 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: last year, although Allen won it and deservedly, So why 405 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 2: not extend him? He is the face of your franchise. 406 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: Well, I guess the answer would be he has a 407 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: long time left on his contract. I guess three more years. 408 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: It's not do you think he's overcome the whole like, 409 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: oh he gets hit too much and worried about his longevity, 410 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: Because I think he has and I don't think that's 411 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 2: a concert anymore. 412 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: Yes, he has made He's made that transition where where 413 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: this offense under Todd Monkin just fits him so better 414 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: and seems so much better of a long term fit. 415 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: And he was in better shape last year in terms 416 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: of having lost weight and just move faster. But I 417 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: think now you see, even if he's not giving you 418 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: the rushing value that he used to long term, that 419 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: his passing value is so off the charts and so 420 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: improving in a stable offense that it's going to be fine. 421 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, part of the stability is that 422 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: he has Mark Andrews. And John Harrabaud did have some 423 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: news saying Mark Andrews will remain. 424 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 3: With the Ravens. That is expected. 425 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: He signed a contract that had a bonus in it 426 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: that came due recently, and yeah, the plan is to 427 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: keep Mark Andrews. So, just in case you were curious, 428 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned the Titans, they haven't said anything too interesting. 429 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: They just said at the league meetings, look, if you 430 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: find a franchise quarterback, you take him. So evidence I 431 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: don't know four thousand and eighty that they're probably taking 432 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: cam Ward here. 433 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine there's been enough hemming in hauling 434 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: about is it abdual card or do they trade out? 435 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: But I feel like the momentum has built toward cam 436 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: Woard really since Indianapolis, and it just makes the most sense. 437 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: This is a franchise that gave a swing at Will Levis. 438 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: They suffered for it, especially last year. If you're going 439 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: to get on the right track with a new head 440 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: coach who encountered all the difficulties that come with not 441 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: having stability at the quarterback position last year, you get 442 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 2: him the quarterback. You get him the guy that he wants, 443 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: that this front office wants, and then you let them 444 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: work from there, because then the clock starts. It starts 445 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: taking when you draft that quarterback. Prior to this is, 446 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 2: you know, kind of a mulligan. You didn't have. This 447 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: wasn't your guy, this wasn't your team. You needed time 448 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: to put your stamp on the franchise. This is the 449 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: first step toward doing that. 450 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 3: All right. 451 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts in the same division Shane Steichen says 452 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: that they will split reps at quarterback throughout the entire 453 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: course of the offseason. Your reaction, Shuk says, it all 454 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: but for the listening audience, what is it? 455 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: It's just we have come so far from where we 456 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: were last year. You know, we got a month of 457 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson as a rookie. We saw all the potential 458 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: in the world. We saw some misfires, but we just thought, well, 459 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: you know, an off season of work, he's healthy, they'll 460 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: be able to put together. That's not what we got 461 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 2: last year. And now they've taken a pretty aggressive approach 462 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: to this, I think, and the fact that they're now, 463 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: you know, considering not starting him at all if the 464 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: competition wins out. And it's just such a crazy change 465 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 2: from where we were at this time of year ago 466 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 2: for a guy that you spent a top five pick 467 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: on so quickly. But that illustrates the lack of patience 468 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: in this league when it comes to the quarterback position. 469 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: If you don't produce, they're going to find somebody else. 470 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: And they just keep being so transparent in what they mean. 471 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: A light of fire over Richardson. We want him to 472 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: be better on a daily basis. We need him, he said, 473 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: specifically to get his completion percentage up. But I just 474 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: think if the idea is to develop Anthony Richardson, having 475 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: him split reps as early as the OTAs in mini 476 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: camp is such a bad idea. So I think by 477 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: making that decision, you are prioritizing developing Daniel Jones, and 478 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: you're giving Daniel Jones. 479 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 3: A leg up. We will see. Let's talk about the Jets. 480 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn is always awesome whenever he talks behind the mic, 481 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: and I like the way that he's been talking about 482 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: his new quarterback justin fields. 483 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 3: Listen. 484 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 5: Obviously, we want to utilize his legs right, but we 485 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 5: also want him to play quarterback this offseason. We're going 486 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 5: to allow him doing oas to go out there and 487 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 5: running offense, and we're going to make sure we surround 488 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 5: him with the right type of people he's going to 489 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 5: make him successful. 490 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he went on to say, I'm not saying they 491 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: didn't let him play quarterback in other places. That's not 492 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: my issue. But if you go back to look at 493 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: his Ohio State tape, you can see him processing that 494 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: I think he's underrated that we want him to play quarterback, 495 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: and we want to give him the tools to do 496 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: so in an offense we think is really gonna work 497 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: for him. I think they do have a vision for 498 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: him as an Ohio State guy. 499 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 3: Schuck, do you agree? Oh, this speaks so near and 500 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 3: dear to. 501 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: My heart as somebody, as one of the last few 502 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: remaining people in the fields camp, I am so glad 503 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: to hear a franchise throw all their full weight and 504 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: support behind a guy who has a ton of talent 505 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: and I feel has never been in the right situation 506 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: to show that off now. In Chicago, he didn't have 507 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 2: the offensive line. In Pittsburgh, the offense was kind of 508 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: simplified to maximize what he was able to do. He 509 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: wasn't supposed to be the starter of there. He ended 510 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: up being the starter because Russ was injured. This is 511 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: the first time in which he's going to go into 512 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: a job where it's clear that he is the priority 513 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: and that they are going to build around him and 514 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 2: they are going to try to support him. And Oh, 515 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: by the way, he has one of his favorite receivers 516 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: from college on his team in Garrett Wilson, and I 517 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: think there's no better situation for him. To walk into 518 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 2: than a team coached by Aaron Glenn, a guy who's 519 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: done it, who's played, who understands what it's like to 520 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: be out there in the heat of battle and knows 521 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 2: how challenging it is, and wants to give this guy 522 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 2: the best opportunity to prove who he can be. He's 523 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: got the talent that we just don't like. Where would 524 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: he be in this draft right now if we knew 525 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: nothing about his pro career, in just his college career, 526 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: where would he be in this class? He'd be the 527 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: first quarterback off the board. I think, yeah, it'd be 528 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 2: him in Ward one and two very closely, So why 529 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 2: not give him that run when he's on an affordable deal? 530 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 2: I like it. 531 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'd be him and Ward. I really 532 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: like Ward, So that's coloring my view. But I liked 533 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: Fields a lot coming out as prospects. You're right, I 534 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: think more teams would have had Field. What that quote 535 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: says to me, and some of the ways he talked 536 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: about the offense at Ohio State specifically and the processing 537 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: and everything else is just they gave Tanner Engstrom, the 538 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, the job to run this new offense, and 539 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: when they brought in Justin Fields. I think they targeted 540 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: him and they really believed if we build this specific 541 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: offense and we'll have to see what it looks like 542 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: around him, we can make this work. And so I 543 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: think that's really encouraging for all those like Nick Chuck 544 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: that still has stock in Justin Fields. By the way, 545 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: they did mention Elijah Arrah Tucker will remain at guard 546 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: their GM Darren Mugie said that first time he's spoken 547 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: in a while, and that means they need a right tackle. 548 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: But Vera Tuka has been very good at guard. People 549 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: wondered maybe he'd move out to Wrighte Techo. They also 550 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: signed Josh Reynolds over the weekend and gave him two 551 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: and a half million dollars guaranteed, which means he's making 552 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: the team. He was with Glenn and Detroit. They said 553 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: they really value him for his blocking, but that's gonna 554 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: be their their fourth or fifth receiver, So just something 555 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: to be aware of. 556 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 3: All Right, I thought we'd go fast. We haven't gone 557 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 3: fast enough. 558 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: We do indeed need to take one quick break and 559 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: we're going to come back on the other side. We're 560 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: gonna talk Gino, We're gonna talk Stefan Diggs. We're gonna 561 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: talk Rogers. Of course we're gonna talk here. 562 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: Rodgers back on NFL Daily. Oh, Eric's like, oh yeah, 563 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: you said you were going to do it tight thirty minutes. 564 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 3: Had that work out for you? 565 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 2: Whatever, it's my fault. It's my fault. Now. 566 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: We just we just like talking to each other. Nick, 567 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: we like talking ball. It's been too well, we don't. 568 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: We don't get this. 569 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 2: You know, we're across the country from each other. Excuse 570 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: us for having a good time hanging out virtually right. 571 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter had a report that Brandon Ayuk is likely 572 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: locked into San Francisco for next season because of a 573 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, bonus that's coming up in his contract. And 574 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: the thing that struck me was that he said, I, 575 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: you could be ready by mid season, and I thought, oh, 576 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: by mid season. 577 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 3: That doesn't sound great. 578 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: And it's just funny that he's even thrown he keeps 579 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: throwing this one out there. Oh he's likely locked in. 580 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: It was almost like a last ditch effort. I've really 581 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: felt the forty nine ers have been totally open to 582 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: listening on Bran and Nyuk. I can't think of any 583 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: other circumstance like it where a trade was reportedly worked out. 584 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: It was to the Pittsburgh Steelers at the last second. 585 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: Ayuk kind of changed his mind. In the forty nine Ers, 586 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: h and Kyle Shanan reportedly like ran upstairs and helped 587 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: like keep him in San Francisco, and then it co well, 588 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt and then he's immediately back 589 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: on the trade block. Supposedly, John Lynch explained it shook 590 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: by saying, well, some of the teams and I'm thinking 591 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: about the Patriots when that's again some of the teams 592 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: that were kind of in on him last year, they 593 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: were just circling around and so we'll always listen. 594 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 3: But it's fine. 595 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: It's like if it was any other player that you 596 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: gave a huge long term deal to a year ago, 597 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't you you just shut that conversation down, wouldn't you. 598 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, sharks are in the water. Number one. 599 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: You always got to be paying attention to the fins 600 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: and where they're at. Be aware of your surroundings. But 601 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 2: this is a rare example of a franchise that typically 602 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: does not get played by contract situations. They usually handle 603 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: these really well. Getting played by this the drama that 604 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 2: was this whole contract situation because the leverage point that 605 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: he had going into last season, it made sense where 606 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 2: you could see him asking for more money, but it 607 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 2: felt a little outlandish at the time. They were not 608 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 2: keen on giving him that money right away. That's why 609 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 2: it was dragged out for so long. And then they 610 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 2: finally acquiesced and it almost felt like they were just 611 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: kind of their arms were twisted into doing this. And 612 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: then he gets hurt, which just complicates matter further. But 613 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: they're also at a crossroads right now where guys have left. 614 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: They're in a bit of a transition period because of 615 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 2: all the injuries they dealt with last year, and who 616 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: are they as a franchise right now? What do we 617 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: expect from them that they probably think, well, we put 618 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: this much money into them already, Let's at least see 619 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: what we can get out of him before we decide 620 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: that this was a bad decision or not. 621 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: His contract's untradeable unless they wanted to take up on 622 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of money. It just doesn't make end for 623 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: what it doesn't make sense. The thing that makes me 624 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: think about is what I did way back when these 625 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: two guys took the job together. It's just going to 626 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they work when the coach 627 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: has the juice. Kyle Shannon is the most important part 628 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: of the organization, and there's been times over the years 629 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: where you've since they were not on the same page 630 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: in certain things, which is healthy, like for too smart 631 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: football people to disagree on things, whether it was the 632 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: Mac Jones trade, lance draft, whether it was this situation 633 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: where you do get the feeling that John Lynch was 634 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: probably disappointed that in the end, I didn't just get 635 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: traded to the Steelers, whereas Kyle Sanahan, who had developed him, 636 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: wanted to keep him. And so this is what can happen. 637 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: But John Lynch, I don't think he's going anywhere as 638 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: far as I can tell. And they've had a ton 639 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: of success together. So for the most part, it's been 640 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: very productive. John Spytech and Pete Carroll are hoping to 641 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: have a similarly productive partnership. Let's listen to Carol talk 642 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: about Gino Smith my guy, and hit what he's going 643 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: to bring to the Raiders. 644 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 6: Taking Gino is an immediate to fix for us. It's 645 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 6: going to last us. We're going to get a number 646 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 6: of years from Gino at his very best. He's as 647 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 6: healthy and ready to go. She's as tuned in as 648 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 6: he's ever been. But that doesn't mean that we don't 649 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 6: see you guys. There's some guys coming out that it 650 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 6: was tremendous potential and we'll just take a look at 651 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 6: at each spot and the opportunity that's presented and the 652 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 6: guys with the choices that we had, but we're not 653 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 6: excluding taking any position. A. 654 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not surprising to me that he would say that. 655 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: It wouldn't be shocking to me if, yeah, they took 656 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: a third round quarterback maybe like a Will Howard, like, 657 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: it's not that crazy. He was with Chip Kelly and 658 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: Ohio State. You're making a face or fourth round wherever 659 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: he falls to. I'm just making the connection of the 660 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: coaching staff. I'm just saying that level of young quarterback. 661 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: But is interesting, he said, you know, they're expecting to 662 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: have him multiple years. It's also addressing Gino doesn't have 663 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: a contract still. John Spytech, their GM, though, said that 664 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: one is coming fairly soon. It's interesting, Nick, both Gino 665 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: Smith and Matthew Stafford, the two biggest quarterback decisions of 666 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: the off season, actually don't have contracts still, they're just 667 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: like they just trust their bosses and they worked it 668 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: out and they're they're fine for now. 669 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 3: I guess I don't know. 670 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Stafford and Lestina McVeigh bridge the gap and they 671 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: just you know, trust that it's going to get worked 672 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 2: out and it will. Gino, on the other hand, didn't 673 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 2: really have as much of us say, but he's with 674 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 2: the new team and is just going to let the 675 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: chips fall where they made. But the bigger question I 676 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: have who's healthier and readier to go for multiple years 677 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: of success, Gino Smith or Pete Carroll Because Pete looks 678 00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 2: like like he had that year off really refreshed him. Man, 679 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: they're ready to go. 680 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: He does, and I think he'll be happy actually to 681 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: have less to say. 682 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 3: When it comes to the front office. This time around. 683 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: He was really running that Seahawks organization and sometimes in 684 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: life it's sometimes good to have less responsibility. Could he 685 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: could just go in and coach and trust the front 686 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: office and obviously he's contributing to that a lot. He 687 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: actually mentioned, by the way, though maybe he would answer 688 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: it Gino, because he said Gino is not like a 689 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: normal player his age. He didn't take any hits all 690 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: those years, and that's why he's more athletic now and 691 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: he's faster now than he's ever been in his career, 692 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: which is true. I do believe Gino looks faster now. 693 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: I think he's probably taken that part of his game 694 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: even more seriously. But he also hasn't really played that 695 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: much football overall over the years. All right, let's move 696 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: on to the Patriots. I just wanted to mention they 697 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: cut Juwan Bentley, who's been a captain for them for 698 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: a long time, an inside linebacker, a move that makes 699 00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: some sense when you think about that. They brought it 700 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: and Robert Splaine. They also brought in another former rabtor, 701 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: Jack Gibbons, by the way, and they want to get 702 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: faster there at linebacker. And then the details came out 703 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: of the Stefan Diggs contract. So remember it was supposedly 704 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: three for sixty nine initially, and we just didn't really 705 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: trust that. And it said twenty six million guaranteed initially, 706 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, it's probably one for twenty 707 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: six It's actually one for eighteen million, with a bunch 708 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: of per game roster bonuses that could get it up 709 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: to like twenty two, and then some other incentives of 710 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: making a Pro Bowl, which is very unlikely. So it's 711 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: really more like a one for eighteen million dollar deal, 712 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: and it's very much a year by year deal that 713 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: goes up slightly and they have no financial pain if 714 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: they want to move on after this year, or if 715 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: he wanted to move on for whatever reason. 716 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a contract built on a player's past. 717 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: The roster bonuses tell me everything, because like, if it 718 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: goes really badly, then they're going to save themselves some 719 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: money if they just partways mid season a la Odell 720 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 2: Beckham junior with the Browns. And it's also health wise 721 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: coming back from the ACL. We don't know where you 722 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 2: are right now. You say you're ahead of schedule, but 723 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 2: we don't really fully know if you're still going to 724 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 2: be that guy. So they protect themselves. It's a smart 725 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: contract built out by them, and then it looks good 726 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: on face value for the agent who negotiated, so everybody wins, 727 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 2: and I guess it's lower risk than the average deal, 728 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: but then again we don't win. 729 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: Shook. 730 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm sick of having news reports, sports news reports. I'm 731 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: used to it in general with news reports, but news 732 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: reports that you have to be like, well, we'll actually 733 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: have to find out the real story. 734 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 2: This is the ecosystem which we live. We live in 735 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: this world. We are now to these types of things. 736 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 3: We can these people. 737 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: I want to push back and I want to talk 738 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: about this with Ian Rappaport or some insider on the 739 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: show because it's ridiculous. 740 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's like a one for twenty. It was 741 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: actually as a good deal for Diggs. 742 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a fair deal for him, and it's 743 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: a good deal for the Patriots because it's not it's 744 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: not my money. Who cares if they have way too 745 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: much cap space as they've been saying all off season long, 746 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: and if it works out, then they'll have them under 747 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: contract for a couple of years. They also expect Christian Barmore, 748 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: who had those blood clot issues that made him miss 749 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: most of the last season, but then he played, but 750 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: then they popped up again, so I was wondering about 751 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: his future. They said he will be in the building 752 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: and he's cleared for OTAs I believe, so that's a 753 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: great sign for them. Sean McDermott is the public enemy 754 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: number one right now in Philadelphia, I just wanted to 755 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: mention this quickly. You don't even need to comment that 756 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: he is leading the brigade to try to abolish the 757 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,959 Speaker 1: Push Push. I don't want to talk about it because 758 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: we're going to find out the answer whether it is 759 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: abolished or not on Tuesday, So this is going to 760 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: be old quickly. But I just happened to look, I've 761 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: been I went through every coach and was just searching 762 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: on Google and on Twitter especially, like you know where 763 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: what people were saying and anything. Sean McDermott is just 764 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: seventy five Joe bananas from Philadelphia burying this guy saying 765 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: take away his residency from being born in Pennsylvania. They 766 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: don't claim Sean McDermott anymore. He also worked for the 767 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 1: Eagles back in the day. They Sean McDermott. 768 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: Chrissy Cheese Steaks all upset because Sean McDermott wants to 769 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: outlaw the Touchhbush. What's funny as them and the Eagles 770 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: with only two teams that ran it at like a 771 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: really high rate, and it still goes back to the 772 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 2: AFC Championship game in which they ran it off the left, 773 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 2: which they always did and got stuffed, you know, controversially, 774 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 2: did they not get it? You know, it's just funny 775 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 2: that they are now the proponent behind outlawing it. 776 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: Well, and a lot of the Eagles fans pointed out, 777 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: yet you use it a ton and one of the reporters, 778 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: they're asked, well, if you're so worried about health and safety, 779 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: because what's what McDermott says is what's driving him, even 780 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: though there's no stats about it being bad for your health, 781 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: would you commit to not using it. 782 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 3: In the future, and he wouldn't commit to it. 783 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, because if it works, it works. 784 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: That's a great question. Whoever did it? I don't know 785 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: who did it. On the Aaron Rodgers front, it's taken 786 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: this long to get to him in the show. I 787 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: consider that growth deserving. He threw a DK metcalf over 788 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: the weekend and man, that's another sign that this thing 789 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: is is probably happening. And Mike Tomlin, you know, was 790 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: asked about Aaron Rodgers and didn't totally reveal anything, but 791 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: I do think he revealed some things and how he 792 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: talked about it, let's listen to him and thought a 793 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: lot about it. 794 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 3: There is no drop dead date specifically in my mind though. 795 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: Okay, also, yeah, he said therein and then they followed 796 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: up a little bit and he said, well, training camp, 797 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: that would probably be the line of demarcation where you're 798 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: really feeling like you're losing recipes as it were, you know, 799 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: along the way. So maybe maybe they're like, hey, don't 800 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: worry about it. You don't have to you don't have 801 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: to like show up for ots. 802 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 2: It makes me think about his first year with the 803 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 2: Jets though, and he didn't show up for OTA's and 804 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 2: mini camp and stuff like that because and it was 805 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: like everybody was worried about that, and because there was 806 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 2: a calf issue at the time and everything else. That 807 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: leads to the Achilles. You're with a new team, you'd 808 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 2: think you'd want to get, you know, there during the install, 809 00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 2: no matter how old you are. 810 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: So you could have been at the Chipotle with Kirk Cousins. 811 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: In theory, I could have been at the UCLA field, 812 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: although it's probably yeah, not accessible security. Might maybe I 813 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: could have seen DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers over there UCLA. Yeah, 814 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: shout out to the to the Lady Bruins here Final 815 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: four first ever ever and yeah, like one of my 816 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: favorite tennis players, Osak Naomi Osaka is always playing tennis 817 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: over there. Like UCLA, that's just the place to see 818 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: some big time athletes. 819 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 2: It's premier athletes out of Westwood. 820 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: Poor Tomlin, by the way, Eric, let us know our producer, 821 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, just how just sweaty Tomlin 822 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: looked and just it's not a comfortable situation, like everyone 823 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: is around him, and in general, these breakfasts are a 824 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: tough spot. We saw Mark Coboli, who works for Pat 825 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: McAfee show now, looking like he was falling asleep, like 826 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: these are early morning breakfasts, and some of these coaches 827 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: shook look like they weren't quite ready for that seven 828 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: am wake up call. And I got to say, having 829 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: been there a lot, Tomlin is high on that list 830 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: of guys that maybe aren't totally ready for you. 831 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 2: It's a rough setting to walk into. I am notoriously 832 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 2: a blear eyed individual early in the morning. If you 833 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 2: ever run to me at the Combine, you've probably seen 834 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 2: that before, so I understand. It's also tightly packed, and 835 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 2: he's got studio lighting on him. Those lights get hot 836 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: and a bit in a room packed with a lot 837 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 2: of body heat that early in the morning, you could 838 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 2: be disorienting. You can make you a look out of sorts. 839 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 2: So I understand. 840 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: It's humid there in Florida. I know they're inside and everything, 841 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: but it travels. 842 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 2: That was the setting in which I first discovered that 843 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: Freddy Kitchens would wear the quarters at with nothing on underneath. 844 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, did you forget a shirt? 845 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: That was the setting where after the coaches interviews happened, 846 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 1: I was not so subtly threatened by another NFL figure 847 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: who not like what I had been saying on the. 848 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 3: Around the NFL. Was it in a Starbucks? 849 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm no, it was right there in that in that 850 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: breakfast room or whatever. As as I was like wrapping 851 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: up uncomfortable, but you know, early I got out of it. 852 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 3: Let's let's kind of close the circle. On Rogers. 853 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting to hear Kevin O'Connell first 854 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: really talk up you know, his guy JJ McCarthy on 855 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: Kevin Clark's podcast, and so that was interesting to hear. 856 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: And then he was asked about the Aaron Rodgers talk 857 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: and he said, multiple things can be true, we could 858 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: believe in Essentially, I'm paraphrasing him here, But essentially, we 859 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: can believe in JJ McCarthy and we can look at 860 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: the unique opportunity that is Aaron Rodgers, a four time 861 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: MVP winner who we have a relationship with, being interested 862 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: in talking to us. Kevin O'Connell pointed that out, that 863 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: he wanted to talk to us and at least considering 864 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: that and having conversations about it. And my big takeaway 865 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: from all that was, I think Kevin O'Connell's hanging out 866 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: with Jordan Rodrigue too much now because he's doing the 867 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: multiple things can be true line and that's her line. 868 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel I feel like it's contagious and 869 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: he got it from. 870 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 3: Her that And I think, what is another one? 871 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 2: Hat hot, where like you look better when you're wearing 872 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 2: a hat like Cliff Kingsbury's sunglasses hot for example. Uh, 873 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 2: it's in the whole array of it. Yeah, But also 874 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 2: that's his phrase that who knows that's that's a Jordan phrase? 875 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 2: Is hat hot? Like you look better in a hat? 876 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 2: And I'm a subscriber to the idea that some people 877 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 2: look better in sunglasses than not. But it also speaks 878 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 2: to the fact that he even framed it as Rogers 879 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 2: was interested in us, not necessarily the other way. And 880 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 2: it does speak highly about where we are as a 881 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 2: franchise right now. Pat myself on the back a little bit. Yeah, 882 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 2: that's a pretty good job. 883 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if that that's it's a good point 884 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: that he did point that out. And I thought you 885 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: were saying that O'Connell is hat hot. 886 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 2: No, he's just a good looking guy. 887 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 3: Actually, he would be a candidate to be hat hot, I. 888 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 2: Hate, especially if his hair is thinning. 889 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: Which is I would say the number one characteristic and 890 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 1: hat hot would be your hair. 891 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 2: The hairs strug. Honestly, you could probably call me hat 892 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 2: hot now that I think about it. 893 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,919 Speaker 3: No, because you look good. 894 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: Shaved bald, that's all I've seen, but you look great 895 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: in it. The fitting is the bigger issue. And you know, 896 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: I lie awake and fear of it happening. You know, 897 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: it happened to almost everyone. It happens to almost everyone. 898 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: I'm okay so far. Their owner is Ziggie Wolfbaile the Wolf, 899 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: by the way, said they're working on an extension for 900 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: Questa of Dofamensa. So just something to keep an eye on. 901 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: Interesting though, that Kevin O'Connell got his ODOFAMENSA did not. 902 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 1: But if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. 903 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: Just a couple very quick items, and we are going 904 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: to say goodbye. Brad Holmes, the Lions GM, who will 905 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: see his coach speak tomorrow at the NFC Coaches Breakfast, 906 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,359 Speaker 1: said they are heading in the direction expected to pick 907 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: up a fifth year option for Jamison Williams, so a 908 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: nice career development for him after a few disappointing years. 909 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: It's only fifteen point five million. It's funny we're so 910 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: far removed from this CBA being sign that the salaries 911 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: have spiked so much. One year fifteen point five million, 912 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,479 Speaker 1: that's barely more than like two two at well money. 913 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: So of course you're given that to Jamison Williams. So 914 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna probably add one year to his contract. And 915 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: then two people we used to cover quite extensively on 916 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: around the NFL, Frank Reich and Andrew Luck, they're joining 917 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: forces again. It's Frank Reich is going to be the 918 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: interim head coach at Stanford where Andrew Luck is the GM. 919 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: He's going to be the interim coach for one season, 920 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: which is weird. But they're in a weird situation because 921 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: they had to fire their coach at this point in 922 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: the off season because of some allegations from students there, 923 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,439 Speaker 1: the female students at Stanford. So it's just a tough 924 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: situation for the college to be in, and that's what 925 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: they decided to do. 926 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of a shock that I saw 927 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 2: Andrew Luck listed as the general manager of Stanford and 928 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 2: I was like, WHOA, when did that happen? Number one, 929 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 2: and I thought, he's still doing his book club And 930 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 2: number two, how do you recruit when you have a 931 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 2: coach there for a year? Hey, come here, but you're 932 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 2: not going to play for me. We will find a 933 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 2: guy that you will like to play for. You're just 934 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 2: not going to meet him yet because we don't know 935 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 2: who he is yet. 936 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 3: See. 937 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: I was all over the Luck announcement. It was right 938 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. I believe it was 939 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 1: a little after Thanksgiving but before Christmas, somewhere in that area. 940 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 3: Because I just love me some Andrew Luck. 941 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm always tracking what he's up to, and it was 942 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: good to see him trying to find some fulfillment in life. 943 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: All Right, that's it. For today's show, Eric was right 944 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: once again. He's undefeated. Le's play the music. My fault, No, 945 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: it's nobody's fault. It's definitely my fault. 946 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 2: Background back and just go long. 947 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: If it's anyone's fault, it's always my fault. So that shook. 948 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: That was today's show. Colleen Patrick and Jordan Rodrigue all 949 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: part of our next show. We're going to be finding 950 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: out what are the new rules of twenty twenty five 951 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: and yeah, when we're honking too long in the garage, 952 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 1: you know football is back.
