1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. What

2
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: is up straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire

3
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: for Wednesday, January third. Boy, it is such a comedown

4
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: when you have so many good sporting events back to

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: back to back. I mean we had NFL Saturday Night,

6
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: Sunday was NFL New Year's Eve, Monday college football, and

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: then Tuesday night. You look at the schedule, You're like,

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: oh one Binyama against Jahn Moran. Oh wait, the Spurs

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: are a dumpster fire, I mean poor. You look around,

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: oh OKC Boston, It's like, maybe maybe I don't dive

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: fully into sports. Unfortunately, we have a good couple stories

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: we can dig into here in a midweek podcast. I'm

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: kind of fascinated by the NFL Draft obviously before we

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: get to that, and I'm gonna be doing a mock

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: draft for Fox Sports next week. So I've started to

16
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: dig in and text out the usual suspects who I

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: reach out to to get their gauge on some people,

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: and I did text with Daniel Jeremiah. He will be

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: coming on the podcast next week after the Natty. A

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: day or two or three after the Natty, but starting

21
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: New Year, very very strong. But first I need to

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: get to this David Tepper fine. The Panthers owner was

23
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: fined three hundred thousand dollars for tossing a drink at

24
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: a fan or a group of fans. It was pretty unclear,

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: but it was certainly in the direction of Jaguars fans

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: at the stadium in Jacksonville. And of course the NFL

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: announced that, hey, this is terrible blah blah blah, and

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Tepper said. Tepper, who did not do anything until the

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: fine was announced, said he should have let the stadium handle,

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: stadium security handle the issue. I respect the code of conduct,

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I didn't know he was a second

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: richest owner in the league net worth of twenty point

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: six billion. Oh my goodness, that is insanity. Second richest

34
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: owner in the league. Don't ask me who the richest is.

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: It might be the guy who owns the Rams. I

36
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I damn. I should not have brought that

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: up without researching it at any rate. All these people

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: got upset with me because of my initial take, Like

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: what did the guy say to get a drink thrown

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: on him? Everybody instantly, you don't even want to hear

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: what the guy said, and I'm like, well, okay, yes

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: it was wrong of him to throw a drink, clearly,

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: but don't you want to know what the guy said?

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Was it a harmless comment which I think make Temper

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: look even more like a clown? Was it something personal?

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Did this guy maybe do his research on Temper and

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: then come at him in such a way that he

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: knew Temper was gonna come back in him with something.

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how vile this guy got,

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, Unlessen fans could get pretty rude. And it's

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: funny anytime I asked like, well, what did the guy say?

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: Nobody has given the response, but all they want to

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: say is, well does it matter? Like, well, if somebody

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: said something to you, you can't throw a drink on him.

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: But I'm like, well, yeah, I shouldn't throw on a

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: drink on him, But I don't know what I'm gonna

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: do in that situation. I've never been in a weird

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: spot where I'm like with my family and I've got

59
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: some guy coming up talking trash. I hated that take

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: you had on Michael Jordan. How could you do that?

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: And it's like mouthing off in cursy. I've never had that.

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that anyone would get that crazy, but

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: people are weird. I don't know. You know, if somebody's

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: making personal comments, listen, it could be tough to walk away. Now.

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: I can honestly admit that I haven't been anywhere near

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: or anything like that, so it's tough for me to answer.

67
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: And David Tepper can just sit back and flex and

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: be like, I'm the second richest owner in the number

69
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: one sport in America, you know, and it can follow

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: whatever comments he was, but he was fired up, and listen.

71
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Apparently this came after a Bryce Young interception or a

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: terrible Bryce Young decision, which is a shocker. And at

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: this point, you think, you know, Tepper's seventeen sixteen games

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: in and he knows he made a bad decision with

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: Frank Reich to hire him, to force Brice Young on

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the guy to fire him, and it just looks like

77
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: he's totally lost control. He's kind of out of his depth.

78
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: You can't you don't feel bad for this guy. Obviously, Hey,

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna pay the fine, he's gonna move on whatever.

80
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's something in the ledger. I'm

81
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: not acting like I know anything about the guy other

82
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: than he's incredibly wealthy. I just I'm I can't believe

83
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: more people aren't curious what he said, because I think

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: there's a there's a case where Temper even looks dumber

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: based on the comment, or possibly doesn't look that dumb.

86
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: I I really don't know, and I'm not defending a billionaire.

87
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: You guys know that. I just I wanted to get

88
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: the fine out of the way. Now, what I think

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: is a real interesting story is that the Jets parted

90
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: ways with Dalvin Cook on Tuesday so that Dalvin Cook

91
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: could join a contender, Dalvin Cook, who basically came to

92
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: the Jet I think as Aaron Rodgers wanted it to happen.

93
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Is that is that what we're calling it, And Dalvin

94
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Cook proceeded to look totally completely washed. Now there is

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: an argument j JJJ. Look at the offensive line the

96
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Jets had. They couldn't protect any of their quarterbacks and

97
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Brice Breece Hall. Breece Hall could do nothing with the

98
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: run game. He's just making people miss and you swing

99
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: passes and all this craziness there. I mean, Dalvin Cook

100
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, was in uniform, didn't play a single snap

101
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: for the first time in his career. That's a little weird.

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Cook is only twenty eight. Now here's the weird thing.

103
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: He had sixty eight sixty seven carries this season. That's it.

104
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: Is that not crazy? I mean, I listen, I'm sick

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: of talking about the Jets. I want to make this

106
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: about Cook. Is there a world where Dalvin Cook is

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: not totally washed? I mean, he's only twenty eight years old.

108
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: There's no tread on his tires this year. I mean,

109
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: he's had injuries in his career. Apparently he really wanted

110
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: to play with Aaron Rodgers. Rogers gets hurt on the

111
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: fourth play of the season. I'm sure at that point

112
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Cook was like, geez, what the hell did I get

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: myself into? And it just didn't He was a total

114
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: non factor. Now, if I'm looking at options where Dalvin

115
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: Cook could possibly land, I mean, I think it begins

116
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: at ends. Well that begins, it ends, but begins certainly

117
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens. And some will say we got

118
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches. We good? Just okay, Keaton Mitchell, JK.

119
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: Dobbins you're down to Justice Hill and Gus the bus. Now,

120
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Justice Hill had a hell of a good game against

121
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Miami out of the backfield, catching passes or kicker or

122
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: punt return. I think it was a kick return. He's

123
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: not totally between the tackles guy. That's more of Gus.

124
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: And you know, the inclement weather, you're gonna need a

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: run game and injuries happen. I think for sure, if

126
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: i'm Dalvin Cook, I'm ring chasing with the Baltimore Ravens.

127
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: Now the Dallas Cowboys obviously Jerry Jones, like stars, Tony

128
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Pollard has really struggled this year as the number one

129
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: bell cow so to speak. They got a couple of

130
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Deuce Vaughn's a young guy. An the other running back

131
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: whose name is Casey. He's not terrible. Like they got

132
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: dudes on that team. They're not They're not a They're

133
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: not totally devoid. The offensive line has been something of

134
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: an issue for the run game. It's protected well enough

135
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: to that Dak has had arguably the best season of

136
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: his career. Like I think, I think for sure Baltimore

137
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: is tops in the Dalvin Cook race, and my guess

138
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: would be the Dallas Cowboys are second Rico doubt Dell,

139
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: that's the guy was thinking of. He's been more of

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: a thumper, goal line carry guy, as Tony Pollard is

141
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: just struggled immeasurably this season. I saw my boy Ta

142
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: who we got to get back on the podcast for

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: the postseason. All these Brown fans are like, we gotta

144
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: get him. We got it. We got Ford and one

145
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: other guy, but we really missed Nick Chubb and Kareem

146
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Hunt has juice left. He's like a gold line guy.

147
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's go get him. And Tia was like, are you

148
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: kidding me? Why on earth will we get involved? A

149
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: lot of people look at the season Dalvin Cook had

150
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: and said, no, there's nothing there. It's over for him.

151
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. I'm not

152
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna sit there and pop. But we have

153
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: seen guys who have not played a lot and then

154
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, boom. Zamir White or whatever his

155
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: name is in Week fifteen for the Raiders goes off.

156
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: Even Pierre Strong looks like he has some juice with

157
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: the Browns, like some of these guys who are totally

158
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: rested versus guys, who are you know, two hundred pushing

159
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: three hundred carries like that's a big load to carry.

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: And some of these guys just look super fast. Now,

161
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Cook is gonna fall into that category.

162
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what shape he's in, but you know,

163
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey needs some time off here. Kyrien Williams looking

164
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: at how good he looked after going on the IR

165
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: bouncing back. James Cook has really a surge. DeAndre Swift

166
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: has looked good. There's some good running backs in this league,

167
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: and I'm just I know people are down are running

168
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: backs January. Football is different. Coaches are not going to

169
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: be slinging it as much as you think they are.

170
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: You get inclement weather, although less so in the NFC

171
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: given the forty nine ers, maybe Tampa Detroit all hosting

172
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: playoff games. Football is back. No more preseason games. The

173
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: regular season is here. While we all love watching our

188
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: weather in KC, the weather in Baltimore, if Buffalo's hosting it,

189
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna need a run game. And we've seen, you know,

190
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: you get Howling wins in January, and it's like, you know,

191
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco had a good run, but come on, dude,

192
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: where's a run game. Brown's offensive lines really beat up?

193
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: I haven't. I know. Some people are like, what about

194
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: the lines? Have you looked at the week eighteen? Guys?

195
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: At Week seventeen was just so bad. I'm just kind

196
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: of down in the dumps over it. Now. He did

197
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: bounce back, you know, for the IG followers. Three to

198
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: zero College hoops last night felt really good. But if

199
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: you look at the games this weekend, it's like, well,

200
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I don't know who's playing. Like Cincinnati's just six point

201
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: favorite over Cleveland. Obviously Cleveland's playing nobody. They're gonna be

202
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: in the wildcard round next weekend, right, They're obviously playing nobody.

203
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: Why does that automatically mean you about Cincinnati. I mean,

204
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of Cleveland guys called up from the

205
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: practice squad or gonna be like, yo, this is my shot.

206
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm going all out, and Cincinnati like they don't have

207
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: anything to play for. I mean, I guess technically they're

208
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: not fully eliminated, but come on, they got no chance

209
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: of getting in. Then you look at like Arizona nothing

210
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: to play for. Usually in the final week of the season,

211
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking to bet on teams with nothing to play for,

212
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: like Chargers in East and Stick are favored over Kansas City.

213
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, If I'm KC, I'm playing Rashid

214
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: Rice and all these receivers and just praying they catch

215
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: actual passes. You know, It's just it's extremely bleak out

216
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: there this week. In week eighteen, Green Bay somehow favored

217
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: by three over the Bears. I don't know what that's about.

218
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: The Bears are playing as good a football as anyone

219
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: in the league. And since I brought up the Bears,

220
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: let's pivot to the NFL Draft, which I'm so excited about.

221
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's much of a discussion around Justin

222
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: Fields and who he's not who I'm gonna do my

223
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: little on here shortly. I don't think there's much of

224
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: a decision with Fields. Again, if you want to look

225
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: at wins and losses and say, oh, look, he cobbled

226
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: together some wins at the end of the season and

227
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: they looked, okay, folks, here's the reality, Like, Justin Fields

228
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: isn't putting up great numbers. I mean, if you want

229
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: to count the wins and say that's reason to not

230
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: take a quarterback first, you just don't get the NFL.

231
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: How long have we talked about how you hack the NFL?

232
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Right now, it's your quarterback as cheap, your quarterback on

233
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: a rookie deal, and you've got a shot to build

234
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: around him. Josh Allen got paid, bills, tried the best

235
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: they could to build around him, and that team was

236
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: struggling and on the verge of missing the playoffs. Patrick

237
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes got paid. They had to come from somewhere. Look

238
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: at their wide receiver room, the weakest he's ever had.

239
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: Mahomes now having his worst year, Chiefs look extremely, extremely vulnerable.

240
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to worry Eagles fans, but Jail Hurts

241
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: has been on the struggle bus. Not terribly bad. Obviously

242
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: the defense is primary, but Hurtz is regressed a little

243
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: from last year. He got paid. This passed offseason hasn't

244
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: kicked in yet, but when it does, they're gonna have

245
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: to start chopping from somewhere. And you see a guy

246
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: like AJ Brown complaining, and you're like, oh, we got

247
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith waiting in the wings and he needs to

248
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: get paid. You got an aging you got aging Lane Johnson.

249
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: Like the Eagles could fall apart fairly quickly. Here. I'm

250
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: not gonna get into rumors about Sirianni. I cannot imagine

251
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: that would be the case. But again, you don't want

252
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: to be paying your quarterback a lot. By the way,

253
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott jumps to I believe the second largest cap

254
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: hit in the league. Next year, they paid Micah Oh no,

255
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: they didn't pay Micah they paid an offensive lineman, and

256
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: I think they've got to pay Ceede Lamb and Micah

257
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, where are you cutting from? You know,

258
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: a windows shrinking Trayvon Diggs got his money, but I

259
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: mean he was out all season with the injury. So

260
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: it just gets way tougher when you got to pay

261
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Fields you could say, well, you don't

262
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: have to pay him yet. Okay, sure not this year,

263
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: but let's say you keep him, and let's say let's

264
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: look at the positive. Justin Fields has an awesome next season. Great,

265
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: so then you got to pay him top dollar and

266
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: it's like your windows closed once you got to pay him,

267
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: say good night, unless you've got a mahomes An Allen,

268
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: like it's going to be extremely difficult. And then let's

269
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: look at the other side of the coin. Let's say

270
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: you do trade the pick you any up around Fields

271
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: and he still is in the fifty nine percent completions

272
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: and is dropping his eyes and his panicky in the

273
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: pocket and wants to run all the time. And oh,

274
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: by the way, he gets dinged up again, and it's like,

275
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, why didn't we take a quarterback first?

276
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, Fields is going to be. You know, let's

277
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: say Fields is not good and there is six seven

278
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: win team. You're not drafting in the top five, so

279
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: you the opportunities are few and far between to get

280
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: the number one pick. I think that they have it

281
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: from Carolina. I think, without question, the Bears have to

282
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: analyze the quarterbacks and take the best guy. Now. I

283
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: don't know if it's Kaleb Williams. I don't know if

284
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: it's Drake May. I don't know if it's Jadon Daniels.

285
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's way for Michael Paddox. I

286
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: think it's I think right now the favorite has to

287
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: be Kayleb Williams. But I haven't I haven't met with

288
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams. I don't know how he does on the tests.

289
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how he is in the room, the

290
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: locker room. I'm not doing the diligence on him from

291
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: just watching football. Guy's incredible. Now the offensive line is

292
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: pretty good. By the way. Rebooting at quarterback allows you

293
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: to now go out and spend you want to go,

294
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: spend money on a left tackle, go for it. Now,

295
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: that's not a slam dunk as we saw with Burrow.

296
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: And I believe Jonah Williams and some of these other quarterbacks, Oh,

297
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: we'll just go pay for a left tackle. I mean,

298
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence went and got that guy. Whoever the left

299
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: tackle was, Cam Robbinson. I believe, I forget who the

300
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: offensive line is. They go and pay him. He gets

301
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: suspended and then he's done the struggle bus all season,

302
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence doesn't have a good year, so nothing's guaranteed. Obviously,

303
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: first round first pick over could be a bust. Spending

304
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: on lineman also could be a bust. But you gotta try,

305
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: you gotta shoot your shot. And I think the Bears

306
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: at this point it's essentially Caleb Williams or or Drake banking.

307
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go go Jayden Daniels. Now. The

308
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: real guy I want to talk about in a fascinating scenario,

309
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: revolves around Michael Pennox, the Washington quarterback who had a

310
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: scintillating performance against Texas. Heavily not heavy under They were

311
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: heavy underdogs against Oregon, but considerable underdogs against Texas. Pennick

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: has I think it was the best performance outside of

313
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: playoff pennis four hundred and thirty yards two touchdowns outright win. Now,

314
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: they did have to hang on I get it, and

315
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: you know clock management from the coach, and there was

316
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: it was a dumb penalty on special teams, like, yeah,

317
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: that's not on Pennis. If you just assess Michael Pennox,

318
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: He's making every throw, moves well in the pocket. I know.

319
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: One of the biggest knocks on him is his age.

320
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: He's twenty four right after the draft in May. I

321
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: believe the two ACL surgeries and then the other knock

322
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: on him as he's a lefty. And this is where

323
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: it gets weird with Michael Pennox. The NFL season is

324

00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: me be clear, I am as big of a Michael

348
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Pennix fan as there is, and I do believe he's

349
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: going to be immensely successful in the right fit in

350
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. So let's look at the history of left

351
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: handed quarterbacks in the NFL in the modern era. Okay,

352
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: You've got Steve Young, was Hall Famer, incredible player. You

353
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: got Mike Vick who's very very good. You got boomerasiasin

354
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: he was an MVP, took the Bengals to the Super Bowl.

355
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: You have Mark Brunell, and that's pretty much it. I mean,

356
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: somebody want to throw in Kenny Stabler, go for it

357
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: before my time. And you got to a tungua I

358
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: loa in Miami. And this is where it gets fascinating.

359
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: If you watch Pennix closely, Michael Pennox looks like a bigger, faster,

360
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: stronger Tua. He's six three, really mobile in the pocket,

361
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: looks durable, has an incredible arm that can, and this

362
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: is important, make all the throws. Tua primarily targets the

363
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: middle of the field. We saw the Chargers last year,

364
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: we saw the Ravens this season take away the middle

365
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: and say two A we double dog. Dare you to

366
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: beat us on the outside. And he can make those throws,

367
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: but he would prefer not to. He doesn't have the

368
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: arm strength for those deep outside throws. And it's not

369
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: a knock. Not everybody has that, right. Michael Pennox has

370
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: that we saw Michael Pennix against Texas may every throw

371
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: in the book. If you watched him this season in Washington, heck,

372
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: you want to go back to the Indiana days. Michael

373
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: Pennis can make every throw. And I bring up Pennix

374
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: and Tua for one reason, what if Mike McDaniel wants

375
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: to be that guy. We love Tua. He's had an

376
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: amazing season. Over four thousand yards passing, He's probably gonna

377
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: get thirty touchdowns. Two has been tremendous. However, we would

378
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: like to reset our quarterback clock and start over with

379
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix, and we want to move Tua to make

380
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: room for Pennis. And as a result, we will not

381
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: have to lose Tyreek Hill, We'll be able to pay

382
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Wantall, we won't have to worry about any of

383
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: that stuff, because folks, I did the diligence, and I

384
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: looked at the cap stuff next year for Miami not great,

385
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill taking up the biggest chunk of the cap

386
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: twelve percent next year, Jalen Ramsey eleven percent, Bradley Chubb

387
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: ten percent, Xavi and Howard ten percent, and then Tua. However,

388
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: she was gonna want the money. If you don't want

389
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: money this offseason, you gotta pay Tua. Now, maybe you

390
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: could argue, let's franchise tag him and wait, okay, fine,

391
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if do you think there's gonna be another

392
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: guy Michael Pennis lefty looks like Tua, throws like Tua, bigger,

393
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: better version of Tua, who would fit Mike McDaniels system perfectly.

394
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: Or does Miami say, you know what, maybe we could

395
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: put together a package to move up in the draft

396
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: and go get Michael Pennix. Then the question becomes how

397
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: high do you have to go, and let's quickly go

398
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: through it. Bears at one. I don't see Penis going one,

399
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: Washington at two. Possibly now we'll see what happens in

400
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: week eighteen. Maybe there's some movement. Unlikely Washington goes Michael Pennis.

401
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who their coach is gonna be. If

402
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Belichick, we'll see. I don't think Pennix

403
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: would be thrilled to go to the Bill Belichick offense

404
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: with Bill O'Brien. Frankly, I don't even think Pennocks would

405
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: be successful there. They'll go four Arizona. As of now,

406
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: they like Kyler Murray a lot. We'll see what happens.

407
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: New York Giants at five is interesting, However, Brian Dabole,

408
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: if you look at where he was success Josh Allen,

409
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones for a year, sturdier, more mobile quarterbacks. I

410
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: don't think the Giants are a great fit. So you

411
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: look at six Chargers, they got their quarterback. Seven Titans,

412
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: no weapons, no offensive coach, no offensive line. I hope

413
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: Michael Penix doesn't go to the Titans. I know some

414
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: Titan fans like Will Levis, enjoy Will Levis. Guys have

415
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: fun with that. I like Will Levis coming out. I've

416
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: seen enough. Not that guy, my Jets listen. I'd entertain

417
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: it with the right offensive coach. I do not wish

418
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett on Michael Pennix. And then we get to

419
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: where it gets spicy for Pennocks Atlanta and nine. I'll

420
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: let Falcons fans chew on this one. You guys want

421
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: justin Fields for maybe a second round pick, Michael Pennocks.

422
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot depends on what happens to the

423
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: Falcons in Week eighteen with their coach Arthur Smith. Smith

424
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: we know is a cautious guy loves the run game.

425
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: They got Bijon, they got Algiers. They are a ground

426
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: heavy team. Penix would have weapons there. There's spicy. We'll

427
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: see number ten Chicago. Obviously we went over the Bears.

428
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening eleven Vegas. I think you

429
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: need to circle Las Vegas with the right coach. Why

430
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: can't he thrive there? Right offensive coach? We know Antonio

431
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Peers the leader to get the job new We'll see

432
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: what happens. Baby Horball's in the mix. I think PENICX

433
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: coould work there. And then twelve is the most interesting

434
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: perhaps for Penix, and that's the Minnesota Vikings. Kevin O'Connell

435
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: nearly made the playoffs with a hodgepodge after our Cousins

436
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: went down. Of Nick Mullins, Josh Dobbs and Jaren Hall.

437
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: I like O'Connor a lot. None of them have delivered.

438
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: It makes you wonder do they bring back Kirk Cousins

439
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: on a on a one year, twenty million dollar deal

440
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: coming off the Achilles. I don't know, or do you think.

441
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell says, bring me Pennix. I can turn him

442
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: into a superstar with Justin Jefferson to Jordan Madison. Now

443
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: this is where it gets really interesting. What if Miami said, hey,

444
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna go up. Let's just hypothetically say

445
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: we go up to five Treye with the Giants, we

446
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: go up to six. Whatever the we're going up and

447
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: getting Pennix, and you're looking for a landing spot for

448
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Tua from Miami. What about the Minnesota Vikings? Would you

449
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: pay Tua? Hey, hey, hey, they didn't want to pay you,

450
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: so we're not paying your top dollar, but we will

451
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: pay you because Kirk Couzins is coming off the injury.

452
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: We got Hockinson, we got Jefferson, we got Addison. I mean,

453
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: I think the Kevin O'Connell offense, any quarterback could become

454
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: a star. That's why I had Russell Wilson in the

455
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: mix there. Because if Mike McDaniel does get balls and

456
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: go for Pennix, where does Tua land? I think the

457
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: only thing that you got to look at here is

458
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: key teams that are in the mix, because Tua could

459
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: come in and listen, this guys put up good numbers,

460
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: leads the NFL in passing yards whatever that's worth. I

461
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: think two but is without question, a kind of guy

462
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: who can go and turn a team that's kind of

463
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: in the midst of being close and put them over

464
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: the top. Now, a team like Pittsburgh they got they

465
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: just have problems with the offensive coordator. You can't put

466
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: two in Pittsburgh. It's not gonna work. I would like

467
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: to see Tua in warm Weather or Dome. Obviously, teams

468
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: like the Texans and Colts they have quarterbacks. They're not

469
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: going after Tua. I think the Raiders could make sense

470
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: for Tua. I think the really really interesting one is Denver.

471
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: But is Sean Payton gonna like an undersized quarterback? He

472
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: just had the Russell Wilson experience. I don't know. Now

473
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: this all of this hinges upon Mike McDaniel being ballsy

474
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: as hell and saying, I like you, Tua. We had

475
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: a good one. But you know what, I'm gonna be

476
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: that guy. I'm gonna pull it off, and I'm gonna

477
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: reboot the quarterback clock and I'm going with Pennox because

478
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: I think you can recapture ninety percent of two of

479
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: this year with Michael Pennix, even if it's eighty percent.

480
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: The key is you get to keep Tyreek Hill. You

481
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: get to keep Jalen Waddle. You don't have to worry.

482
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you probably end up dumping Xavian Howard, but

483
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry. Like Van Grinkle is one

484
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: of the best head dressers in the league this year,

485
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: He's a free agent. Jerome Baker's a free agent, Cedric Wilson,

486
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Connor Williams, Christian Wilkins. In the middle, somebody's gonna get tagged.

487
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: Obviously it might be Tool, but and you just wonder

488
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: if you don't wantally want to cut anywhere because you

489
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: like what you got just tour becoming the fall guy,

490
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: and you go up and get Michael Pennix, whatever it takes,

491
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: get your quarterback, fit him in the system, and you

492
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 1: get to keep Tyreek Hill Waddle in that dynamic, incredible offense.

493
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this offseason is gonna be so freaking good.

494
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. Everybody's in play or do something crazy

495
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: except my Jets, who are staying the course because they're

496
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: my Jets. All right, that's all for today, everybody, We'll

497
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow. Out
