Speaker 1: appreciate to drop them by. That lots to get to today. Yeah,

17
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: first thing I wanted to do is get to the

18
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Pro Football Writers of America, of of which I remember

19
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: UM put out there or started putting out their awards. Yeah,

20
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: I haven't paid enough attention to them, but I've just

21
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: seen a couple of headlines. Yeah, t J Watt winning

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. No true surprise there. Uh

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: for people who don't know, that's not the one that matters.

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: It's yeah. They used to always the league always used

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: to acknowledge these things. Um, but then it became you know,

26
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: the u p I and all these difference Associated Press

27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: at one point. Yeah, the Associated Press one is the

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: one that that's the one. Yeah, that's the one that's

29
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: announced the couple of days before the Super Bowl. Uh.

30
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: And that's the one that is actually acknowledged as being

31
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: the award. The reason it matters, though, is because the

32
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: Pro Football Writers are voted on it, and several of

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: the people who are voting for the AP Award are

34
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: on the Yeah, there's there's over one or the other

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: in terms of voters. Okay, very cool. Um, I guess

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: there's no surprise there. It's a good first omen that

37
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, good things are going to happen for t J,

38
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: which I think are deserved. Um. A couple of thoughts

39
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: on that is, I think Myles Garrett kind of lost

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the award with his play the last month, the six

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: weeks down the stretch that he can't really be in

42
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: in the conversation anymore. I can't at all condone digs

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: in Dallas just because he put up a lot of interceptions,

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: but he was also picked on a lot. The receptions

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: almost give up a thousand yards receiving, right, I mean,

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: as much good is bad. I mean he's Marcus Peters,

47
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: that's fine. I mean there's a game changing plays. I

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: do think frankly, you can make an argument for Aaron

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Donald every year, and I think he's a better football

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: player than Watt or any defensive player on the planet

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: right now. But um, it wasn't a down year for him.

52
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: There's no you know, there's no negatives to Donald, and

53
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: he could get it again. But you don't hear his

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: name thrown around this year like last. If you tie

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: the all time NFL sacrad, you tie a league record,

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: right right, particularly that one that that's a big number.

57
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: The sack number, the sex in the NFL, like interceptions,

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: to me, isn't is impressive because I mean you're throwing

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: your way, you know what I mean. Sacks. Um, it's

60
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: kind of like the home run record in baseball, Like

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: who led the league of sacked? Okay, that that's that's

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: like home it's it's home run hitters in baseball. Oh

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: you know who? Did you know who did that? Nobody

64
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: knows who. Who led the league in interceptions last year,

65
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the last five years, I don't know. I couldn't tell you.

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the best corners don't It was never revis

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: it was that's never those guys because it never gets

68
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: your own ats exactly. And the sack leaders. Everyone schemes

69
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: around you to not allow more sacks. You know, the

70
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: cats out of the bag halfway through the season, if

71
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: not way earlier. That this guy's a stack master. Like

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: the year Shack Barrett went crazy. You know what. People

73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: weren't scheming around him to start the year, but by

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: the end, you know, they absolutely were. I like in

75
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: watching t J. Watt this year, like watching these game

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: shows where they have them do all the crazy stuff. Yeah, yeah,

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: run across the jump, across this pond, and then you know,

78
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: swinging across the rope and through the river a chocolate

79
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: This is what t J. Watt had to do on

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: a regular basis to get to the quarter of that quarterback.

81
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: If it was well, then we'll align you from like

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker type position off the ball to try

83
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: to make your path to the quarterback a little easier.

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: But it's not what you're accustomed to do, right, you know,

85
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: you're still a two fifty pound linebacker going against three

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: pound guards exactly. I mean, so I do hope he

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: wins it. I think he's deserved. I mean, if you

88
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: were to make an argument against them, it's just total

89
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: snaps played, you know. I mean, he missed some time,

90
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: but boy didn't make the most of them. Actually, the

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: time miss makes it more impressed. I mean, he would

92
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: have even sacks this year if he doesn't miss the

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: time that he missed. I mean, you can't use that

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: as an argument of that's why he should get the award, right,

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: because this is what he would have done. But it

96
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: makes his season more impressive to me. You know that

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: on a per I'm sure we can find this information

98
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: even but on a per snap count, how disruptive he

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: was has to lead the lead. I think it was

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: one of the most in terms of sacks per play. Yeah,

101
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: I think it might have been the highest in NFL history,

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: which would make sense. Right again, that would add up.

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like they're playing tons more snaps

104
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: than mineus the ones he missed, So that's great. I mean,

105
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: that would be a wonderful sign of things to come.

106
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Maybe for him, maybe he puts the strings a couple

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: of them together, kind of like big Brother did, kind

108
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: of like Donald did. I mean, I think he's that

109
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: class of player and they have a true foundational piece

110
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: in him. Without questions. Yeah, it's still just twenty seven

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: years old. Um. He one, he's gotten better to this

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: point in his every year in his career. I don't

113
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: know that there's another step that he can take that,

114
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: but he just maintains this level for the next couple

115
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: of ones, happy and you're making your money and it's

116
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: still a great investment. Yeah, I mean, I mean the

117
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: next step will be okay, guess thirty sacks and intercepts,

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, five balls or something. A year from now.

119
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: We're like he's better than Lawrence Taylor, clearly, and that's

120
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the next step. Really, there isn't much higher to go,

121
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: um without being you know, a superhuman. But I mean

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: I do think availability isn't something he needs to work on.

123
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: But I mean hopefully, and if his name was Williamson

124
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: or Lawley, I might not say that, but just looking

125
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: at big and not not that he broke down, but

126
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: he missed a lot of time late twenties, early thirties.

127
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping we don't see that these weren't the

128
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: same kind of injuries though J J. J J was

129
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: like suffering torrent pectoral muscles and things like those were

130
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: those were you know, serious injuries. These were just kind

131
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: of a couple of things here and there. And wasn'

132
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: there a COVID one time one of them was? You know?

133
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: So no, I mean, we know he's gonna take care

134
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: of himself. You know, the work ethic and preparation her

135
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: off the charts, and he's already at a very very

136
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: high level. Yeah. He he affects every game that he

137
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: plays in, Yeah, in a massive way. Every We were

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: pretty deep into the season when you had mentioned, well,

139
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: they won every game that Watts played start to finish,

140
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: and they've lost everyone. He didn't. You know, that was

141
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: like week fourteen or something. You know, I think you

142
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: finished up at like pretty good nine and three or

143
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: something like that. When he when he you know, played

144
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: the full game, which there you go. I mean, he's

145

00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania by j D Power for JD Power two

156
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: Award Information visit JD power dot Com Slash Awards. So

157
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: that when you have that guy you have make of Fitzpatrick,

158
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: you have you have Cam Hayward, you have some foundational

159
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: players on defense. UM, I'm looking at what happened here

160
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: in New Orleans Sean Payton. Sean Payton resigned yesterday. The

161
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: story comes out today on NFL dot com, uh CAP

162
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: Casualties and Trade Chips Ten ten New Orleans Saints players

163
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: who could move be moved this offseason. This is not

164
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: a coincidence that Sean Payton just stepped away there in

165
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: cap hell again this year and this. They managed it

166
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: this year by pushing things to next season, as they

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: always do. They match out their credit cards time and

168
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: time again. Well, now it's it's at a point where okay,

169
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: we just gotta stop. Yeah, it's time. A couple of

170
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: things I wouna mentioned there. First of all, I think

171
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is at that Tomlin level of outstanding body

172
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: of work, probable Hall of fame, or would get my

173
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: vote considered as good an offensive mind as the league's

174
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: really ever seen. Um. When a lot of things I

175
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: look at when I analyze coaching vacancies are who's the owner,

176
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: what's the culture already that's really strong? Um, who's my quarterback?

177
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: Don't have one? What's my ability to you know, gain

178
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: talent through cap and draft? Don't have any? And to

179
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: that point, you then wonder about the culture that you

180
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: just mentioned. Because the coach is now leaving, I'm looking

181
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: here at the ten players. This is an nick it's

182
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: worth bringing up because it's crazy the guys that he's

183
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: talking about, who could be cap catchy. I throw in

184
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: one thing. The one other thing I look at is

185
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: how winnable is this division? But what if Brady retires?

186
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: That division could be a disaster. But anyway, um, their

187
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: caps situation, and the Packers are second worst or way over,

188
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean like eighty millions. The Rams are also they

189
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: have a hundred and nine thousand dollars of cap space,

190
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: hundred thousand million, hundred ninety thousand. They have one per

191
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: cent the cap. The cap is gonna be you know,

192
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: they have less some were you know, and there's a

193
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: handful that are over already right now. But the Saints

194
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: are the worst as always. So this is an interesting list.

195
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I did see it. So they Michael Thomas. I don't

196
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: think he's gonna a satan no matter what. Here's the problem.

197
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: His cap numbers twenty four point seven million. His dead

198
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: cap number it's twenty two point seven million. So releasing

199
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: him only only saves you two million dollars. Uh. If

200
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: they post if it's a post June first cap savings thing,

201
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: it only gets you down to fifteen point eight. That's

202
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: more better, better, You're still but you're still saving words

203
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: to get June one. To be cap complian, you gotta

204
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: beat Yeah, you have to handle that way around. Um,

205
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan's still very good football. There's some really good

206
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: names on this list. His twenty three point one eight

207
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: million dollars. But he can't. He counts his dead cap

208
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: pre June first, it's twenty one point four four. You

209
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: can't do anything with him before June one. You don't

210
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: save enough money post post tune. These guys, though you could,

211
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: you would have to make it so that they're that

212
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: thing will be. Nobody's gonna trade you from Michael Thomas

213
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: right now, not at that price. Not play seven in

214
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: the last forty games. Um, yeah, Cam Jordan's doing it

215
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: at post June one makes it fifteen millions, So you're

216
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: saving eight million dollars. But still that's I mean, that's

217
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: not that much. Taysom Hill, who's the only quarterback on

218
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: their roster right now, the only one of those who's

219
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: the only quarterback on their roster right right. The whole

220
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill contract from day one is mind bodiling. They

221
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: did this one to themselves. His two cap numbers twelve

222
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. To release him pre June one,

223
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: it would cost him nineteen million dollars against the cap

224
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: post June one it's eight point nine. So even if

225
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: that you're not saving enough. That's it's unbelievable. The situation

226
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: they're in, and it was he if he's released, they

227
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: don't save anything. If he's traded, it saves him ten

228
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: point one. Who's gonna trade you for Taysom Hill with

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: that contract? People to offer you something form before Taysom Hill.

230
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is he lists potential teams that

231
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: might do it, as the Steelers are on that list

232
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: because they don't have a quarterback, and you trade for

233
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: Tasom Hill, you still don't have a quarterback. No, that

234
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: that's the Saints. I really like Sean Payton is in

235
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: the negative calling for coach Payton the whole Hill experience.

236
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: You know how many snaps did he take when Drew

237
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: Brees has lined up a receiver? Like, come on man.

238
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is as they list him as having

239
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: high end QB two cap number, really high end. That's

240
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: almost low end starter. Absolutely, it's not a huge I mean,

241
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: I think he's like thirty two years old by the way,

242
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna forget that young. He he's not young. If

243
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 1: you want your quarterback to and play special teams and

244
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Okay, really good personal protector Damario O'Davis,

245
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: who's thirty three, really good eleven million dollar cap hit

246
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: pre June one ten point five million. Can't do anything

247
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: with that. Post you in first is seven point five million.

248
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: But again, you do that. You the guys who were

249
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: tradeable here are Cam Jordan and Damario Davis. Post you

250
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: in first, your defense is gonna be awful. Oh, it's

251
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna be a terrible team this year. I

252
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: think they have to come to that realization no matter what,

253
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: and not try to put a band aid on it.

254
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, like they signed Marcus Williams last year. They

255
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: franchised him when they were in this type of situation

256
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: because they almost made the playoffs and they competed, and

257
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: maybe if Jamie stays hurt from or stays healthy from

258
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: start to finish, that they win ten eleven games. Maybe, Um,

259
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: but I think it's blow it up times the other

260
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: guys herete people probably like why Kamara, Well, when you

261
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: hit twenty seven or so, it's you don't build around

262
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: him anymore, you know, like this could happen in Minnesota

263
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: with Dalvin Cook. If they blow that up, you're not

264
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: building around to seven. You're running back David An your

265
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: mata Malcolm Jenkins, who's thirty four Bradley Roby, who's thirty,

266
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: lots a kicker, kickers the kicking the dome and he's okay.

267
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: But I saw that one too. He'll be employed next year,

268
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: but you have to cut him. I bring this all

269
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: up because Sean Payton is now gone. They're gonna be

270
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: blowing this thing up. I think Jamis Winston wants to

271
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: go back to that. I was gonna bring up two

272
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: angles there. That's the first one is does the new

273
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: staff even care about Jamis one thing? Who knows? And

274
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: is that attractive to him? On the open market, It's

275
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: going to be attractive to anybody. And they have no receivers.

276
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: And I don't think Thomas comes back if they had

277
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: a million dollars in caps phase or you know, a

278
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in caps phase. I think he wants

279
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Saints and has burned that

280
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: bridge anyway. So they need everything, you know, I mean

281
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: in terms of weapons. I think Winston is absolutely gonna

282
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: be on a different team. In my hope is it's here,

283
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. And then the other thing

284
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: I one mentioned too is would you consider trading for

285
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: any of those players? Not at those costs like Pete. Okay,

286
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: he's a quality guard. Quality. He's still twenty eight, hasn't

287
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: been as good the last couple of years, has missed

288
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: some time with injuries, tackle background as well. He's CAPTA

289
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: members fifteen point four five million, So correct me if

290
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. But if you trade for any of those

291
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: guys today or whenever, you gotta take on that whatever

292
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: he may salary is right, and you could restructure because

293
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: there's a couple of names on there. I'd be interested in.

294
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: Tomorrio Davis is the one that comes to mind. Thirty

295
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: three year old inside linebacker playing great and as nasty

296
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: as could be. But that's a short term fit captain

297
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: of your defense type thing, right right right, nasty downhill player.

298
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: He's clearly a rental right right? Um? I mean I

299
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: really like on your MADA. I don't know if he

300
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: fits here. Thomas would be really interesting if he was

301
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: on the open market. I mean that the numbers, you

302
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: can't touch him, you know, like, would you rather sign

303
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin or Michael Thomas? You know, I mean I

304
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: really can't afford you. Somebody asked me today, if you know,

305
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: would you why don't the Steelers go, you know, go

306
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: sign Chris Godwin or Mike Williams. Both of those guys

307
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: are gonna get fifteen plus million a year. Williams, to me,

308
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: would not be in the equation. He's to Claypool similar.

309
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: But if you're I actually was gonna bring Godwin up

310
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: to you too, So I can't lie. If Juju's eight

311
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: or nine and Godwin's fourteen to sixteen, I'm listening, you know,

312
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: just he's but he's also a guy's gonna be coming

313
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: off a major injury. He's also injured though too. I mean,

314
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: he has a Super Bowl ring. There's a lot of

315
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: things I like about the player. I think he's a

316
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Tier one receiver, but he's right below that. And I

317
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: don't think he's a Jamaar Chase, you know, shot in

318
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: the artem injection to the offense what exactly. He's not

319
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: as explosive, but he's good. He's good. Yeah, it's not

320
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: really good, you know, right, But then you're also going

321
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: to have to pay Deante Johnson and do you want

322
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: to you know, have all of a sudden have twenty

323
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: and you you know, because clay pools up after the

324
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: year after that, I'd still rather go the rookie route

325
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: and take my chances and the other needs and worldey

326
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: piece bass salary this year is ten eight five. It's doable.

327
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Tamario Davis is seven point five, also doable. Yeah, those

328
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: two would be of interest, but I don't know that

329
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: they're going to be in a market to give up.

330
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: Like much like the quarterback conversations, I can't give you

331
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: a day one or day two for those guys. No,

332
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: you're not getting any a premium draft, doing your favor,

333
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: helping your books in fact, you know, in fact, that

334
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: would probably be factored into everything. Okay, if it's a six,

335
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: now we can talk. If it's anything above a six, sorry,

336
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: I ain't doing vision. Not to the Steelers, folks. I

337
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: envisioned Michael Thomas getting traded for a six round pick

338
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: to some team that has a ton of cap space,

339
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, and they're they're basically the trading cap space.

340
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's unhappy he has to go. The problem

341
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: is you don't even know if he can play. He

342
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: hasn't played in two years. Who knows. But I mean,

343
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: those are the deals they're gonna have to make. There

344
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: are a couple of those type of moves. But I

345
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: really think for the Steelers just comes down to the

346
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston thing. He's not going He's not going back

347
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: to New Orleans unless that's the last musical chair standon.

348
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that somebody else wouldn't want to tell me,

349
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: like Denver wouldn't want Jammes Winston. Washington wouldn't wan Jamis Winston.

350
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, even like teams like Atlanta, h he's better

351
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: than Donald in Carolina, I don't. I don't see like

352
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta being a player for him that I know he's

353
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna want to start at least have a chance to start.

354
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: He's done that route, go sit behind the veteran guy,

355
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: and I think it served him really well, which is

356
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I'm highly interested in him. But no,

357
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna want to be one of the

358
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: starting thirty two on opening day, and he deserves to be.

359
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: He's one of the best thret two quarterbacks on the planet.

360
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: But I think the Steelers situation he's my target for sure,

361
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: would be attractive. I mean, I'd rather compared to Denver Washington.

362
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: I mean, and some of those teams are gonna be

363
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: after the Wilson's and Rogers and they're gonna shoot higher,

364
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna shoot for the moon. I mean,

365
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: I don't know that Houston would be excited for him.

366
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Indie can go go fight with Wentz. Wentz is

367
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: he gonna want to do that? And no, I'm not

368
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: fighting with that. You're basically telling him you're the starter,

369
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: right And if you do that, I wanted. I want

370
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: as much money, if not more than what he's getting.

371
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he's think Wentz is like sixteen millions.

372
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: He's making a lot. Yeah, I think Winston is playing

373
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: on like a five billion dollar deal now right. I

374
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: think maybe I'm talking on the wrong area here, but

375
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean I think you could get him on like

376
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: a two year eighteen million dollar deals. And even if

377
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: it's twenty two years, twenty millions, whatever, it is maybe

378
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: highly incentive laden you know, if you played thirty two

379
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: games over these two years, you get another five million

380
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Take us the playoffs. I've got

381
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: no problem when he became, when he was on the

382
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: free agent market, when he was released by the UH

383
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: he was free agent right with the Tampa Bay. Yes,

384
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: I didn't want him then because you still had Roethlisberger. Yeah, right, right, right,

385
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: this it just didn't make sense. Why would you bring

386
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: in that guy at at four or five million dollars

387
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: to be your backup? First of all, they were up

388
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: against the cap. We had the bank up conversation a

389
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: million times. It wasn't going to play. That wasn't where

390
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: you can spend your money that season. You know, Now

391
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: it makes sense, makes all the sense in the world,

392
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: the most sense of any solution I've heard yet. I mean,

393
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: that's my favorite one. That's what I would. I would

394
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: be on his phone with his agent right now, you know.

395
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's and I'm sure Williamson don't.

396
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: You know, he throws a million interceptions and he's not

397
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: as good as the first overall pick should be. And

398
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of people out that that

399
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: don't like the player. Yeah, I mean, you're not gonna

400
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: get Aaron Rodgers for that price. I mean, but I

401
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: do think there's first overall talent there. I think going

402
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: to learn from Peyton and Breeze and mature a little

403
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: without being so much asked of the first overall pick

404
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: on a not great bucks team early in his career,

405
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: did him a lot of good. He's lost like twenty pounds.

406
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's really worked hard on his body and

407
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 1: his craft. From what I understand, people that know him

408
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: say he's one of the most competitive human beings on

409
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the planet, and his TV and his teammates love playing

410
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: for him. And yeah, he threw a ton of picks

411
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: and he probably will not be a low pick guy

412
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: ever in his career. But when he was with Arians,

413
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: I did you know my dorky spreadsheets I did, average

414
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: depth was far the highest in the league. So if

415
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: you do what I would do is I would multiply

416
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: completion percentage times average depth of target. And he was

417
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: at the top of the league in a good way

418
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: because he was completing a high number of passes and

419
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: they were deep, deep down field where you're gonna throw

420
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: more picks. This season for the Saints, I remember he

421
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: played really well this year too. Saints had no wide receivers.

422
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: None he completed. Uh, he was of one. That's about

423
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: a sixty percent completion percent It's not great, but not

424
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, again, the receivers were getting no separation. No separation.

425
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: I will say, though, the Saints are at the bottom

426
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: of the league at average, at the target yea on

427
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: purpose because they're a short, control, get it out passing game,

428
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: which is why he went there. Fourteen touchdown passes, three interceptions, right,

429
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: he played really really well. The average a hundred and

430
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards of game, fourteen touchdown passes on completions. Yeah,

431
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: you know that. Both of us aren't huge fans of

432
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: PF ratings and stuff like that, but his PF rating

433
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: is qb R. His um what's the traditional one. The

434
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: passer rating all really really good too, you know, like

435
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: and he passes the eyeball test. You watch him play

436
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: with the Saints. He was, dare I say, a top

437
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: fifteen type quarterback this year. I was a short sample size,

438
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, but he's considering who he's throwing too. He

439
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: played really well. That would be a movie. He might

440
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: be getting better. That would be a move I make

441
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: on if the Steelers are going to make a splash,

442
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: that's the move in free agency, that's the move to make.

443
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Ye I mean, I would set I would be aggressive

444
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: with the quarterback, would be aggressive with him. You know,

445
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: if that doesn't work out. I've mentioned Mariota and Trabisky.

446
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: They're not as attractive to me. But it's a similar conversation,

447
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: and i'd pay them less, but I wouldn't mind them

448
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: being the consolation prize and see what a good organization

449
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: can do with those guys. You know, if you bring

450
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: in a Jamis Winston, do you automatically say we're bringing

451
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: you in as a starter. Yeah, I think so too

452
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: the other guys. I'm not Grabinsky and Mario. I'm saying

453
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna compete with Mason Rudolph and you'll have a

454
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: great shot. Jamis Winston, I'm saying you're going to be

455
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: our starter. It's part of the recruiting pitch, and it's

456
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: he's deserved it, right, Yeah, I mean he's the starting quarterback.

457
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what the guys here are right now,

458
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, Jamis, you're the starter unless he's screwed up.

459
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: You know your team that I can mentioned his name

460
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: hundred times. Yeah, I never get an answer of boy,

461
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: that's that's great. I love it when you when you

462
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: weigh all the options. You still have your first round pick,

463
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: you still have a lot of cap space. You can

464
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: go build your lines however you want, you know, I mean,

465
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't the rail the rest of the team building

466
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: much at all. If it doesn't work out, you could

467
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: plug Mason back in. You can deal with it a

468
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: year from now, and you're it doesn't kill you financially either.

469
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: But it might work out better than ever. I mean,

470
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: he might look like the first overall pick. The problem

471
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: again is he's coming off in a C What does

472
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: that look like for him? That was suffered in week eight.

473
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Let's say it was reasonably late. It wasn't the first

474
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: month of the season. Now there's some people, well, he's

475
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: not very mobile his last two games for the same

476
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: so I mentioned he cut weight. He moves a lot

477
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: better now. He did rushing in each of those two games.

478
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: So you're gonna want to do more than mobile or not. Yeah,

479
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to do the medicals on him and

480
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: do it and those kind of kind of things. He's

481
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: got a big rocket arm. He's a big, strong guy.

482
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Toughness could be um. He will stand in there and

483
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: take hits. So, I mean, there's there's a lot of Roethlisberger,

484
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: oh very much. So you know in that big I

485
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: bet he'd be very impressive at practice. And you look

486
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: at him compared to the two guys here, and you know,

487
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: and be like that guy. I mean, you're not the

488
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: first overall picked by accident and still just twenty eight

489
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: years old, and he's still pretty young, right, which is

490
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: nothing in quarterback just turn right. I mean, he's way

491
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: more talented than Mayfield is the first overall pick or

492
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He's the first round your

493
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: first overall type talent and in the right situation. Again,

494
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: I think Tomlin would handle him perfectly. I think so

495
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: as well, and I think tom One would love him.

496
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: He likes the high pedigree. Guys never has a chance

497
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: to draft him, of course, right right, but this is

498
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: this is how you get there. And if he doesn't

499
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: work out, try it again with the next first overall

500
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: pick that flops or ye, Marioder, he doesn't work out,

501
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in a in a situation next year

502
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: where he can draft one. Right, he's better than any

503
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: quarterback coming out in this draft. That's my last point.

504
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: And he it doesn't cost me a first round pick

505
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: this year, alignment, you can continue to build your roast one, right, Yeah,

506
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: it's to me, it's the first and most important thing

507
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: of the off season, and he's the name I would

508
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: do it with. Yeah, let's just make us GM will

509
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: be co GM forward this to the right people. Let's

512
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: and they'll say it's called jameis is aging up right now?

513
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,320
