I'm Jad's birthday, all right. 12 00:01:01,348 --> 00:01:03,668 Speaker 1: All thirty two teams were in attendance when Malik Willis 13 00:01:03,708 --> 00:01:07,748 Speaker 1: showcased skills yesterday. It was Liberty's Liberty's Pro day. So 14 00:01:07,828 --> 00:01:09,788 Speaker 1: after the workout, Malik took some time to speak with 15 00:01:09,868 --> 00:01:12,548 Speaker 1: Steve Weiss, our guy. What happened? And Malik, we just 16 00:01:12,548 --> 00:01:15,308 Speaker 1: saw a fantastic workout. What about them when we saw 17 00:01:15,308 --> 00:01:17,748 Speaker 1: you celebrating with your teammates, even if it's a short throw, 18 00:01:17,988 --> 00:01:20,108 Speaker 1: definitely the big the big bomb at the end. Just 19 00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:23,068 Speaker 1: what about the happiness you guys share together during this workout. 20 00:01:23,108 --> 00:01:25,348 Speaker 1: I mean blood, sweat and tears together. I mean we 21 00:01:25,348 --> 00:01:27,308 Speaker 1: worked hard together all these years. I've been here for 22 00:01:27,348 --> 00:01:29,948 Speaker 1: three years. I mean being that disposition and having all 23 00:01:29,948 --> 00:01:32,428 Speaker 1: these people here to watch us, and just the opportunity 24 00:01:32,428 --> 00:01:33,948 Speaker 1: that we have. I feel like we just got to 25 00:01:33,948 --> 00:01:35,348 Speaker 1: take advantage of it. When you think you showed you 26 00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:36,988 Speaker 1: some of these teams, because they're all here looking at you, 27 00:01:37,068 --> 00:01:38,988 Speaker 1: I was just trying to show them anything they wanted 28 00:01:39,028 --> 00:01:40,428 Speaker 1: to see. I'm just trying to come out here and 29 00:01:40,428 --> 00:01:42,228 Speaker 1: put it all on the table. It is what it is, 30 00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:44,188 Speaker 1: and you know, guy gonna handle where I go, So 31 00:01:44,468 --> 00:01:46,548 Speaker 1: it don't matter even if I don't go, because you 32 00:01:46,588 --> 00:01:48,188 Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna get drafts yet, you don't 33 00:01:48,268 --> 00:01:50,228 Speaker 1: know the position you're gonna get drafted. So I just 34 00:01:50,228 --> 00:01:52,548 Speaker 1: try to stay down and focus on getting better to day. 35 00:01:53,268 --> 00:01:56,068 Speaker 1: What a pro day for him. There are some quarterback 36 00:01:56,188 --> 00:01:58,628 Speaker 1: hungry teams in the market that we'll be looking in 37 00:01:58,668 --> 00:02:01,228 Speaker 1: just over a month in Las Vegas. I've never heard 38 00:02:01,268 --> 00:02:04,548 Speaker 1: a pro day described as happy, a joyous occasion, but 39 00:02:04,588 --> 00:02:06,388 Speaker 1: it was that, and he put his name on the map. 40 00:02:06,428 --> 00:02:08,228 Speaker 1: He could move up these boards still a couple of 41 00:02:08,228 --> 00:02:10,828 Speaker 1: big name guys Baker, Michael Jim Garoppolo who could be 42 00:02:10,868 --> 00:02:13,828 Speaker 1: available via the trade guys. But MJD birthday boy. We'll 43 00:02:13,868 --> 00:02:16,108 Speaker 1: start with you. Do you think we'll see a team 44 00:02:16,188 --> 00:02:18,748 Speaker 1: find their starting quarterback in this draft? When we should 45 00:02:18,748 --> 00:02:21,188 Speaker 1: remind you Matt Correll is up today his pro day 46 00:02:21,188 --> 00:02:23,988 Speaker 1: at four pm Eastern with illness. Oh yeah, kay, if 47 00:02:23,988 --> 00:02:25,468 Speaker 1: we can go back and look at it. A lot 48 00:02:25,508 --> 00:02:27,388 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks are drafted in the first round because you 49 00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:29,308 Speaker 1: have that fifth year option. But there's some starters in 50 00:02:29,348 --> 00:02:31,388 Speaker 1: the National Football League who were drafted in the second round, 51 00:02:31,468 --> 00:02:34,068 Speaker 1: possibly the third, and obviously Russell Wilson. You're gonna find 52 00:02:34,108 --> 00:02:35,708 Speaker 1: a guy or a caliber guy. And I love what 53 00:02:35,748 --> 00:02:37,948 Speaker 1: Malik Willis did it his PRODA. I thought it was awesome. 54 00:02:38,148 --> 00:02:40,548 Speaker 1: The energy, you know, people love that. These are the 55 00:02:40,548 --> 00:02:42,428 Speaker 1: throws that you look for at the pro day, right 56 00:02:42,508 --> 00:02:45,148 Speaker 1: all into your left, throwing it back right. You know, 57 00:02:45,228 --> 00:02:47,228 Speaker 1: the ooze and the ozz. That's what you're looking for. 58 00:02:47,428 --> 00:02:49,788 Speaker 1: Now I have to talk about a guy that I've 59 00:02:49,828 --> 00:02:53,668 Speaker 1: worked with who I think will be a starting caliber QB. 60 00:02:53,788 --> 00:02:56,908 Speaker 1: And Carson Strong He's going He's my baby. I coached 61 00:02:56,988 --> 00:03:00,628 Speaker 1: him when he was seventeen years old. And watch this guy. 62 00:03:00,668 --> 00:03:02,468 Speaker 1: He has a rocket arm as well. He can let 63 00:03:02,468 --> 00:03:04,108 Speaker 1: it go as well. He was out there and Rino 64 00:03:04,148 --> 00:03:06,348 Speaker 1: in the elements. This is another guy that I think 65 00:03:06,388 --> 00:03:08,868 Speaker 1: has the ability to be a starting quarterback in the 66 00:03:08,948 --> 00:03:12,948 Speaker 1: National Football League. Strong arm guy, not as mobile as Malik. 67 00:03:13,188 --> 00:03:15,108 Speaker 1: But again we talk about winning from the pocket. He 68 00:03:15,148 --> 00:03:17,228 Speaker 1: did that at the University of Nevada, and I'm just 69 00:03:17,268 --> 00:03:18,908 Speaker 1: happy to see. I want to give him his flowers. 70 00:03:18,908 --> 00:03:21,508 Speaker 1: I'm happy to see him compete at the highest level after, 71 00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:24,628 Speaker 1: you know, being under some good tutelage in high school. 72 00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:27,908 Speaker 1: So hopefully it works out for him. Due respect to Nevada. 73 00:03:27,988 --> 00:03:31,268 Speaker 1: I'm very fired up. But we saw from Malik Willis. 74 00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:33,788 Speaker 1: I really am, because you know what, the throws and 75 00:03:33,868 --> 00:03:37,188 Speaker 1: the celebration and the jubilation and the personality was awesome 76 00:03:37,268 --> 00:03:39,828 Speaker 1: and we love that. But did you notice the second 77 00:03:40,148 --> 00:03:43,428 Speaker 1: he stood with Steve Weisch went, it went all business 78 00:03:43,468 --> 00:03:45,628 Speaker 1: like he has a different gear and wish is even 79 00:03:45,628 --> 00:03:48,268 Speaker 1: trying to say where did that joy come from? His note? 80 00:03:48,508 --> 00:03:50,988 Speaker 1: All business, blood, sweat and tears. I work to get here. 81 00:03:51,108 --> 00:03:53,788 Speaker 1: I like that because anybody can throw a party. Do 82 00:03:53,828 --> 00:03:55,708 Speaker 1: you have the different gear when it's time to meet 83 00:03:55,708 --> 00:03:57,828 Speaker 1: the media or when it's third and long. I loved 84 00:03:57,828 --> 00:03:59,388 Speaker 1: what I saw from in the answer to the question, 85 00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:02,348 Speaker 1: of course, yes, there's gonna be a team that finds 86 00:04:02,348 --> 00:04:06,428 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. They always do. Look at last year alone. 87 00:04:07,028 --> 00:04:10,428 Speaker 1: Last year the guys that started, These guys started in 88 00:04:10,428 --> 00:04:12,828 Speaker 1: the NFL last year. It's not just Lawrence and mac 89 00:04:13,388 --> 00:04:16,788 Speaker 1: Ian Book got on the field, Trey Lance, Fields, Mills. 90 00:04:16,828 --> 00:04:19,788 Speaker 1: Seven dudes out of just thirty two teams had a 91 00:04:19,868 --> 00:04:23,428 Speaker 1: rookie starting quarterback. They will find one, not just for 92 00:04:23,468 --> 00:04:26,548 Speaker 1: the future, they will find one that will start next year. 93 00:04:26,788 --> 00:04:29,988 Speaker 1: Davis Mills, it was on the field. Malique Willis will 94 00:04:30,028 --> 00:04:32,028 Speaker 1: be on the field. In fact, think about think over 95 00:04:32,028 --> 00:04:35,188 Speaker 1: the last three years. Can you think of a first 96 00:04:35,268 --> 00:04:39,028 Speaker 1: round quarterback who just straight up sat the entire season? Now, 97 00:04:39,108 --> 00:04:40,908 Speaker 1: Jordan Love is the outlier because it was the most 98 00:04:40,908 --> 00:04:43,828 Speaker 1: bizarre draft pick of all time. Mahomes was really the 99 00:04:43,868 --> 00:04:45,748 Speaker 1: only one years ago we hadn't got on the field 100 00:04:45,748 --> 00:04:49,148 Speaker 1: of last year, Trey Lance because of injury. All of 101 00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:52,308 Speaker 1: these dudes play. You do not sit anymore. And it's 102 00:04:52,308 --> 00:04:54,388 Speaker 1: a credit to them, and it's they're more prepared and 103 00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:57,148 Speaker 1: they're more professional. There will be a team that takes 104 00:04:57,188 --> 00:04:59,988 Speaker 1: Malique Willis in the first round. I guarantee it, and 105 00:05:00,068 --> 00:05:02,388 Speaker 1: he will get on the field next year. Is they 106 00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:04,668 Speaker 1: the long term solution. We'll see if he can play. 107 00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,668 Speaker 1: But I like this guy. If you want to see 108 00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:09,628 Speaker 1: him when he's all about, watch his game against All 109 00:05:09,708 --> 00:05:12,708 Speaker 1: Miss in college, in which he was sacked ten times 110 00:05:12,988 --> 00:05:15,068 Speaker 1: and it could have been thirty if he could not 111 00:05:15,108 --> 00:05:17,428 Speaker 1: have in his escapability. I like what he's made of 112 00:05:17,468 --> 00:05:19,228 Speaker 1: and I think he will be on the field starting 113 00:05:19,308 --> 00:05:21,108 Speaker 1: next season for a team. Kyle. I got a chance 114 00:05:21,108 --> 00:05:23,828 Speaker 1: to spend some time with Malik Willis at the Senior 115 00:05:23,868 --> 00:05:25,508 Speaker 1: Bowl and it was interesting because on the first day 116 00:05:25,508 --> 00:05:27,548 Speaker 1: of that week, has set down with all six quarterbacks 117 00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:30,828 Speaker 1: who were in the game for interviews on that Monday, 118 00:05:30,908 --> 00:05:33,028 Speaker 1: Malik was the last one in. He had, as I 119 00:05:33,068 --> 00:05:35,988 Speaker 1: told him, the quietest voice of all the guys. He 120 00:05:36,108 --> 00:05:38,508 Speaker 1: got kind of those that same juice from him anyway, 121 00:05:38,548 --> 00:05:40,788 Speaker 1: even though he's not allowed talker and he doesn't have 122 00:05:40,828 --> 00:05:42,668 Speaker 1: to be super demonstrative. And that's what he told me 123 00:05:42,788 --> 00:05:45,388 Speaker 1: was because different guys need different types of leadership. Sometimes 124 00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:46,948 Speaker 1: you got to get on a guy. There's other guys 125 00:05:46,988 --> 00:05:49,148 Speaker 1: you need to love him up. That sort of emotional 126 00:05:49,228 --> 00:05:52,108 Speaker 1: intelligence is something that's probably going to serve Malik Willis 127 00:05:52,108 --> 00:05:55,068 Speaker 1: well at the next level. You can obviously see huge arm. 128 00:05:55,228 --> 00:05:57,668 Speaker 1: He's a really good athlete. He's not the tallest, he's 129 00:05:57,708 --> 00:05:59,748 Speaker 1: like a hair over six feet tall, but when you 130 00:05:59,788 --> 00:06:02,028 Speaker 1: meet him in person, like he's rocked up. He's got 131 00:06:02,068 --> 00:06:04,708 Speaker 1: big arms and big legs, and he's helped him self 132 00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:06,788 Speaker 1: here through the course of this process. We can talk 133 00:06:06,828 --> 00:06:09,388 Speaker 1: all we want, and I have two scouts about none 134 00:06:09,388 --> 00:06:11,148 Speaker 1: of these guys should start now to say one of 135 00:06:11,148 --> 00:06:12,948 Speaker 1: these guys should be on the field as rookies, there's 136 00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:15,508 Speaker 1: no walk in the door starter. Maybe Kenny Pickett just 137 00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:18,228 Speaker 1: because people really buy into the leadership and things with him. 138 00:06:18,348 --> 00:06:20,188 Speaker 1: But building up what Kyle said, I want to show 139 00:06:20,188 --> 00:06:22,548 Speaker 1: you the names, or at least the list of the 140 00:06:22,628 --> 00:06:25,828 Speaker 1: numbers of rookie quarterbacks who have started going back to 141 00:06:25,868 --> 00:06:28,908 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. So twenty fifteen was the Jamis Winston goes one, 142 00:06:29,028 --> 00:06:32,828 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota goes two. Year. Every year since at least 143 00:06:33,028 --> 00:06:37,108 Speaker 1: six rookie quarterbacks have started a game. That is forty 144 00:06:37,428 --> 00:06:41,868 Speaker 1: over six years seven on average per year, and you 145 00:06:41,908 --> 00:06:43,748 Speaker 1: can't even name all the guys in this list, I 146 00:06:43,908 --> 00:06:46,348 Speaker 1: had researched. Send me the list. I didn't remember. Some 147 00:06:46,388 --> 00:06:48,468 Speaker 1: of those names got on the field as rookies. So 148 00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:52,268 Speaker 1: odds are just based on pressure, based on injuries, based 149 00:06:52,268 --> 00:06:54,708 Speaker 1: on things that happened in the NFL seventeen game season. 150 00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,708 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna end up seeing a bunch of these 151 00:06:56,828 --> 00:06:59,308 Speaker 1: guys start games in twenty twenty two. Like it or not. 152 00:06:59,468 --> 00:07:02,188 Speaker 1: Incredible info there. I didn't know that at GMFE. Yeah, 153 00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:04,908 Speaker 1: of course somebody's gonna have a starting quarterback. Lake Willis 154 00:07:04,948 --> 00:07:07,068 Speaker 1: is so interesting. We should mention his Wonderlook score. I 155 00:07:07,108 --> 00:07:09,108 Speaker 1: don't know the Wonderlook score of any of the other quarterbacks. 156 00:07:09,188 --> 00:07:10,828 Speaker 1: That one was floated out there because it was very 157 00:07:10,868 --> 00:07:13,948 Speaker 1: good and he dazzled at the combine anything you want 158 00:07:13,948 --> 00:07:16,068 Speaker 1: to see on tape. It's all super tantalizing. And then 159 00:07:16,108 --> 00:07:17,628 Speaker 1: you look at other teams outside of the ones that 160 00:07:17,668 --> 00:07:20,468 Speaker 1: we know, right Panther Stalkins and Seahawks. They pick sixth, eighth, 161 00:07:20,468 --> 00:07:22,108 Speaker 1: and ninth. Then you sort of look at what are 162 00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,348 Speaker 1: the Lions doing? Guys? What are the Lions doing? It? Too? 163 00:07:24,508 --> 00:07:26,668 Speaker 1: Is Jared Goff the long term solution they're doing? Do 164 00:07:26,748 --> 00:07:28,668 Speaker 1: they take a Malik Willis a guy who's got all 165 00:07:28,668 --> 00:07:31,388 Speaker 1: the physical attributes. He's intelligent, he carries himself. Well, there's 166 00:07:31,388 --> 00:07:32,988 Speaker 1: a lot to like there. I'm going to float this 167 00:07:33,028 --> 00:07:35,748 Speaker 1: out there just for some drums here. How about the Giants, Kyle, 168 00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:37,988 Speaker 1: I'd love your opinion on this. I have no information 169 00:07:38,028 --> 00:07:39,468 Speaker 1: on this at all, but I'm looking at them. They've 170 00:07:39,468 --> 00:07:41,508 Speaker 1: got the fifth and the seventh. You're telling me that 171 00:07:41,588 --> 00:07:44,308 Speaker 1: Shine and Dabel, guys who did not draft Daniel Jones, 172 00:07:44,348 --> 00:07:47,508 Speaker 1: had no attachment to Daniel Jones whatsoever. You think they're 173 00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:49,548 Speaker 1: scared to take a guy from a smaller school. No, 174 00:07:49,588 --> 00:07:51,548 Speaker 1: they're not. They took Josh Allen they know what that's sorry, 175 00:07:51,548 --> 00:07:53,988 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Malik Willis is Josh Allenott. If 176 00:07:53,988 --> 00:07:56,548 Speaker 1: there were two dudes, you know in Dabel, there's a 177 00:07:56,588 --> 00:07:59,028 Speaker 1: small group of decision makers that are a pro small 178 00:07:59,068 --> 00:08:02,028 Speaker 1: school college quarterback. It's probably them, and I'd like to 179 00:08:02,028 --> 00:08:04,548 Speaker 1: see the Giants make that move for Malik Willis. Be 180 00:08:04,548 --> 00:08:07,148 Speaker 1: exciting because the company line is always that type of 181 00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:09,868 Speaker 1: thing about Well, Daniels had so many different coordinators and 182 00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:11,868 Speaker 1: so many different coaches, and it's un been unfair to 183 00:08:11,988 --> 00:08:14,068 Speaker 1: Daniel and I respect that and maybe it has been. 184 00:08:14,228 --> 00:08:16,188 Speaker 1: But we gotta get busy within some games right here. 185 00:08:16,228 --> 00:08:18,188 Speaker 1: If they're not interested in any of the free agents, 186 00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:20,308 Speaker 1: they're just going to go to war with Daniel Jones. Again. 187 00:08:20,708 --> 00:08:22,948 Speaker 1: Maybe they are, and maybe he turns into a pro bowler. 188 00:08:23,028 --> 00:08:25,108 Speaker 1: But I think what we saw yesterday is very interesting 189 00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:27,428 Speaker 1: to them, to many other teams, and I think it 190 00:08:27,468 --> 00:08:29,948 Speaker 1: was bad news for guys like Baker Mayfield and Jimmy 191 00:08:29,948 --> 00:08:32,908 Speaker 1: Garoppolo because these young pops look good and they're working 192 00:08:32,908 --> 00:08:36,148 Speaker 1: out well and they seem professionals. So giants are fascinating. 193 00:08:36,268 --> 00:08:37,908 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of teams out there. We're like, yeah, 194 00:08:37,908 --> 00:08:40,588 Speaker 1: we have a guy, but that looked like a dude 195 00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:44,308 Speaker 1: we saw in Lynchburg yesterday. So absolutely crazy. High ceiling 196 00:08:44,348 --> 00:08:48,188 Speaker 1: for Milik willis what can Matt Corral do. He's very interesting. 197 00:08:48,188 --> 00:08:50,348 Speaker 1: He's a compounding finger. I'm hearing good, I'm hearing bad. 198 00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:53,308 Speaker 1: He's got a huge opportunity. He also didn't go at 199 00:08:53,308 --> 00:08:56,308 Speaker 1: the combine, so he was injured. This is huge. It's 200 00:08:56,388 --> 00:08:59,588 Speaker 1: all on his shoulders and it's all happening today. You'll 201 00:08:59,588 --> 00:09:02,468 Speaker 1: see young Matt Correll throwing session half to the job. 202 00:09:02,548 --> 00:09:04,948 Speaker 1: Pro Day Special for p and Eastern right year on 203 00:09:05,188 --> 00:09:08,388 Speaker 1: NFL Network. We've got some top free agents according to 204 00:09:08,468 --> 00:09:11,388 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com that we are still looking for Holmes 205 00:09:11,388 --> 00:09:14,468 Speaker 1: and Tom. I bring it back to you because one 206 00:09:14,468 --> 00:09:16,428 Speaker 1: of them did the one that I've been talking about 207 00:09:16,468 --> 00:09:19,108 Speaker 1: week in week out, Tron Armstead to Miami. What do 208 00:09:19,148 --> 00:09:21,228 Speaker 1: we now? This was a huge priority k for the 209 00:09:21,268 --> 00:09:25,588 Speaker 1: Dolphins in this offseason, get the offensive line right finally, 210 00:09:25,628 --> 00:09:28,468 Speaker 1: and they got the top one on NFL dot COM's list. 211 00:09:28,548 --> 00:09:32,388 Speaker 1: Tron Armstead, the longtime Saints left tackle, headed to Miami. 212 00:09:32,428 --> 00:09:34,588 Speaker 1: It's a five year, seventy five million dollars deal. It's 213 00:09:34,588 --> 00:09:37,948 Speaker 1: worth up to eighty seven point five million with incentives. 214 00:09:38,068 --> 00:09:41,548 Speaker 1: He's reunited with the new Dolphins offensive coordinator, Frank Smith, 215 00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 1: who years ago was Armstead's offensive line coach in New Orleans. 216 00:09:45,948 --> 00:09:48,708 Speaker 1: You think Mike McDaniel might want to run the ball. 217 00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:52,268 Speaker 1: His free agent signing so far Toron Armstead, a guard 218 00:09:52,348 --> 00:09:55,788 Speaker 1: Connor Williams, two running backs Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert, 219 00:09:55,828 --> 00:09:57,868 Speaker 1: and a fullback alec Ingold is now one of the 220 00:09:57,908 --> 00:10:00,868 Speaker 1: highest paid fullbacks in the game. McDaniel is a run 221 00:10:00,948 --> 00:10:03,268 Speaker 1: game guru, and what better way to take pressure off 222 00:10:03,308 --> 00:10:05,548 Speaker 1: your young quarterback to a tongue of law, then run 223 00:10:05,588 --> 00:10:07,788 Speaker 1: the heck out of it with a much improved offensive line. 224 00:10:07,828 --> 00:10:09,628 Speaker 1: And now I wonder what the Colts will do at 225 00:10:09,668 --> 00:10:12,628 Speaker 1: left tackle. Do they renegotiate with Eric Fisher try to 226 00:10:12,628 --> 00:10:15,108 Speaker 1: get him there because they need some help. Matt Ryan 227 00:10:15,228 --> 00:10:18,908 Speaker 1: spend fourteen seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. He was an MVP. 228 00:10:19,068 --> 00:10:21,668 Speaker 1: He is an MVP, of course, and he spent that 229 00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,988 Speaker 1: time trying to get the Falcons to the top of 230 00:10:23,988 --> 00:10:26,188 Speaker 1: the NFC, which he did as a Super Bowl appearance, 231 00:10:26,228 --> 00:10:27,428 Speaker 1: and I was going to try to do that with 232 00:10:27,508 --> 00:10:30,508 Speaker 1: the Colts over in the AFC. He spoke yesterday at 233 00:10:30,548 --> 00:10:33,108 Speaker 1: his intro press conference and he talked about his transition 234 00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:36,628 Speaker 1: from Atlanta to Indie. I had been there, it, loved 235 00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:38,828 Speaker 1: every minute of it, There's no question about it, and 236 00:10:38,908 --> 00:10:41,068 Speaker 1: worked really hard to try and do everything I could 237 00:10:41,228 --> 00:10:43,268 Speaker 1: do to help them win. And at the same time, 238 00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:45,588 Speaker 1: you know, understood whether it was this year, next year, 239 00:10:45,628 --> 00:10:48,588 Speaker 1: or whenever, there might be a time where something different happens. 240 00:10:48,668 --> 00:10:50,428 Speaker 1: And so you know, you talk about it with Tom 241 00:10:50,428 --> 00:10:53,468 Speaker 1: Brady or Peyton or any of those guys. They've had 242 00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:55,868 Speaker 1: times where they've had to transition and both of them 243 00:10:55,948 --> 00:10:57,988 Speaker 1: have had tremendous success with that, and that kind of 244 00:10:58,108 --> 00:10:59,868 Speaker 1: in the back of my mind. That's what I'm thinking 245 00:10:59,908 --> 00:11:02,868 Speaker 1: about right now, is this opportunity that I have for 246 00:11:03,348 --> 00:11:04,948 Speaker 1: you know, the rest of my career to try and 247 00:11:05,028 --> 00:11:08,628 Speaker 1: catch that sport so interesting from Matt Ryan there. So 248 00:11:09,028 --> 00:11:12,228 Speaker 1: are we underplaying the impact and Matt Ryan could make 249 00:11:12,268 --> 00:11:15,508 Speaker 1: on the Colts. Kyle Probably, it's just so not sexy 250 00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:18,228 Speaker 1: in this offseason where we've got Russell Wilson to the 251 00:11:18,228 --> 00:11:21,748 Speaker 1: Broncos and DeVante Adams to the Raiders, Matt Ryan to 252 00:11:21,788 --> 00:11:24,948 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, and it's it's solid, but it's it's 253 00:11:25,188 --> 00:11:28,548 Speaker 1: humus on a rice cake. It's just not terribly tantalizing. 254 00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:31,108 Speaker 1: But I do think we're probably underestimated because let's play 255 00:11:31,148 --> 00:11:33,948 Speaker 1: a very dangerous game that sometimes turns into total bs. 256 00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 1: Let's play the if Matt Ryan had been on the 257 00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:40,108 Speaker 1: Colts the last couple of years game. Last year they're 258 00:11:40,148 --> 00:11:42,108 Speaker 1: in the playoffs of Matt Ryan is a quarterback, they 259 00:11:42,148 --> 00:11:44,868 Speaker 1: just are. They were one game away, they couldn't beat Jacksonville. 260 00:11:45,028 --> 00:11:46,548 Speaker 1: I think if Matt Ryan is in there instead of 261 00:11:46,548 --> 00:11:48,588 Speaker 1: Carson Wentzon doesn't come down to that game. The year 262 00:11:48,668 --> 00:11:52,188 Speaker 1: before the phil Rivers year, they were two throws away 263 00:11:52,188 --> 00:11:55,388 Speaker 1: from beating the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs in Buffalo. 264 00:11:55,588 --> 00:11:57,668 Speaker 1: I think they probably beat the Bills of Matt Ryan 265 00:11:57,788 --> 00:12:00,628 Speaker 1: is on that team. Point is, yeah, they're sitting there 266 00:12:00,668 --> 00:12:02,748 Speaker 1: in that cute little AFC South. And if you go 267 00:12:02,748 --> 00:12:05,268 Speaker 1: to a head coach, an owner, a quarterback, anybody, and say, 268 00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:07,908 Speaker 1: here's the deal, guys, your biggest obstacle to a home 269 00:12:07,908 --> 00:12:10,908 Speaker 1: playoff game is beating Ryan Tannehill. I think you're good 270 00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:13,508 Speaker 1: to go. I think you're in a pretty good position. 271 00:12:13,828 --> 00:12:16,188 Speaker 1: And as they sit there, it's sort of like Buffalo 272 00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:20,068 Speaker 1: in their cute little Lakeside division and just watch from 273 00:12:20,068 --> 00:12:23,028 Speaker 1: AFAR as the West and the North are turned to ashes. 274 00:12:23,388 --> 00:12:26,508 Speaker 1: You sit there and win ten games, shoot nine games, 275 00:12:26,708 --> 00:12:28,668 Speaker 1: and you get a home playoff game. Why do you 276 00:12:28,708 --> 00:12:31,348 Speaker 1: think the Titans weren't just in the playoffs, but we're 277 00:12:31,388 --> 00:12:34,148 Speaker 1: the one seed last year. It's because they're set up 278 00:12:34,148 --> 00:12:36,988 Speaker 1: in the AFC South, And I do think we're probably underestimate. 279 00:12:37,188 --> 00:12:40,108 Speaker 1: It's just not that fun to talk about when there's 280 00:12:40,148 --> 00:12:44,068 Speaker 1: a million We see the northern lights, Aurora, borealist, whatever 281 00:12:44,068 --> 00:12:46,148 Speaker 1: the hell it's called. Going on in the other divisions. 282 00:12:46,148 --> 00:12:48,348 Speaker 1: That's why I don't think it's getting that much hype. Kyle. 283 00:12:48,388 --> 00:12:51,228 Speaker 1: I think we are adequately playing this. I think that 284 00:12:51,308 --> 00:12:53,988 Speaker 1: there is ample reason to believe that the Colts can 285 00:12:54,068 --> 00:12:57,028 Speaker 1: be better. With Matt Ryan. You're gonna lose a certain 286 00:12:57,068 --> 00:12:59,428 Speaker 1: mobility element that you had with Carson Wentz. But that 287 00:12:59,508 --> 00:13:01,748 Speaker 1: was also the problem with Carson Wentz was at times 288 00:13:01,788 --> 00:13:03,868 Speaker 1: he's trying to do too much. He's running around, he's 289 00:13:03,868 --> 00:13:05,948 Speaker 1: throwing the ball tandon from his own end zone. Matt 290 00:13:06,028 --> 00:13:08,628 Speaker 1: Ryan is very much going to play within the system. 291 00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:12,228 Speaker 1: Let's look at the longest active streaks of throwing for 292 00:13:12,268 --> 00:13:14,068 Speaker 1: at least thirty five hundred yards and to see if 293 00:13:14,108 --> 00:13:15,908 Speaker 1: this one was suggested to me. It wasn't even my idea, 294 00:13:15,908 --> 00:13:17,948 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna use it anyway, just for you. John 295 00:13:18,028 --> 00:13:20,828 Speaker 1: Brady thirteen years in a row, Matt Ryan with twelve 296 00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:22,828 Speaker 1: years in a row. Kirk Cousins the next longest one 297 00:13:23,028 --> 00:13:26,348 Speaker 1: at seven years. It's the consistency with Matt Ryan. Nobody 298 00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:30,188 Speaker 1: games Matt Ryan has missed in his career three Carson 299 00:13:30,228 --> 00:13:33,268 Speaker 1: Wentz had two springing ankles by week two last year. No, 300 00:13:33,388 --> 00:13:35,668 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan can't get himself out of trouble. But he'll 301 00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:37,748 Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands. He'll play within 302 00:13:37,828 --> 00:13:40,148 Speaker 1: the offense. I know what the sack numbers were in Atlanta, 303 00:13:40,308 --> 00:13:43,108 Speaker 1: but the line wasn't very good. They're playing with junior 304 00:13:43,188 --> 00:13:45,988 Speaker 1: varsity type receivers for most of the last season. Put 305 00:13:46,068 --> 00:13:49,548 Speaker 1: him now in Indianapolis, with a run game with Jonathan Taylor, 306 00:13:49,748 --> 00:13:52,908 Speaker 1: with that offensive line, with what they could do defensively, 307 00:13:53,108 --> 00:13:55,468 Speaker 1: there's absolutely a reason to think that they're gonna be better. 308 00:13:55,508 --> 00:13:57,708 Speaker 1: Does that mean they're gonna win the Super Bowl. We'll 309 00:13:57,748 --> 00:13:59,748 Speaker 1: see exactly what it does for them. But I think 310 00:13:59,748 --> 00:14:02,708 Speaker 1: that we're playing this right down the middle should be better. 311 00:14:02,868 --> 00:14:06,308 Speaker 1: And I understand Kyle's point. Necessarily get excited about Matt Ryan. 312 00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:07,668 Speaker 1: He is who he is. We know who he is. 313 00:14:09,548 --> 00:14:12,028 Speaker 1: I definitely think we are. I feel like solid is 314 00:14:12,108 --> 00:14:14,948 Speaker 1: amazing in this league. I hate, like I told you yesterday, 315 00:14:14,948 --> 00:14:18,268 Speaker 1: I hate roller coasters. I like to be calm and collective. 316 00:14:18,308 --> 00:14:20,068 Speaker 1: I don't need the highs and the lows. I think 317 00:14:20,108 --> 00:14:22,668 Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan, you're gonna get even killed going throughout. 318 00:14:22,748 --> 00:14:24,388 Speaker 1: You know how many games you win with even kill. 319 00:14:24,628 --> 00:14:27,148 Speaker 1: You may win thirteen fourteen games with even kill. With 320 00:14:27,148 --> 00:14:29,188 Speaker 1: this type of roster because you know what you're gonna 321 00:14:29,228 --> 00:14:31,148 Speaker 1: get as a coach. I know how I can coach. 322 00:14:31,348 --> 00:14:33,228 Speaker 1: I know what plays that he does well, I know 323 00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:35,228 Speaker 1: what he doesn't do well, and we can excel at that. 324 00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:38,148 Speaker 1: Sometimes we love the sexy, right, we love the Russell 325 00:14:38,148 --> 00:14:41,228 Speaker 1: Wilson because he's gonna improvise and run all around and 326 00:14:41,308 --> 00:14:43,708 Speaker 1: throw all these passes. But he also turns the ball 327 00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:45,788 Speaker 1: over a ton as well. And I think again, if 328 00:14:45,828 --> 00:14:48,188 Speaker 1: you look at what happened with Mahomes during that stretch 329 00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:50,828 Speaker 1: last year, is there throwing the ball off your back 330 00:14:50,828 --> 00:14:52,388 Speaker 1: foot and down and he was throwing picks and they 331 00:14:52,428 --> 00:14:56,908 Speaker 1: were losing games. Sometimes sexy is solid, and I love solid. 332 00:14:57,548 --> 00:15:00,588 Speaker 1: I think it's amazing that Matt Ryan gets his opportunity 333 00:15:00,628 --> 00:15:03,268 Speaker 1: with the team that's built like this. Normally this doesn't happen. 334 00:15:03,268 --> 00:15:06,028 Speaker 1: It happened with pay Man in Denver, they did, it 335 00:15:06,108 --> 00:15:08,988 Speaker 1: happened with Tom Brady, and now it's happening here. I 336 00:15:09,028 --> 00:15:11,748 Speaker 1: think Matt Ryan has an awesome chance of taking this 337 00:15:11,788 --> 00:15:14,268 Speaker 1: team further than we expect. And let's not forget this. 338 00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:17,028 Speaker 1: The Colts have beaten the Chiefs multiple times in the 339 00:15:17,028 --> 00:15:20,668 Speaker 1: regular season with this roster. With Jacoby percent at quarterback, 340 00:15:20,908 --> 00:15:23,068 Speaker 1: with other guys playing, can Matt Ryan be that guy 341 00:15:23,068 --> 00:15:25,148 Speaker 1: to help them? I believe he can. And like you 342 00:15:25,148 --> 00:15:27,268 Speaker 1: guys said, with the offensive line in the running game, 343 00:15:27,428 --> 00:15:29,148 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan can go back to be possibly be in 344 00:15:29,148 --> 00:15:30,828 Speaker 1: the MVP of the league again. That's what he had 345 00:15:30,868 --> 00:15:34,428 Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan. Wow, we're on the outside. I love 346 00:15:34,628 --> 00:15:38,108 Speaker 1: undersell over deliver, Kyle nosis. I think we're playing it right. 347 00:15:38,148 --> 00:15:39,588 Speaker 1: I wanted to blow me out of the water. I 348 00:15:39,588 --> 00:15:42,228 Speaker 1: don't need to have high expectations. He certainly doesn't feel 349 00:15:42,228 --> 00:15:44,788 Speaker 1: that way. He's with m j D. Kyle. He's bringing 350 00:15:44,868 --> 00:15:47,468 Speaker 1: up Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, two of the best 351 00:15:47,468 --> 00:15:50,188 Speaker 1: to ever do this. He's likening himself to them and 352 00:15:50,228 --> 00:15:53,228 Speaker 1: saying I want to be that. I do think Tom 353 00:15:53,228 --> 00:15:55,908 Speaker 1: it's somewhere in between that MVP season and what we 354 00:15:55,948 --> 00:15:58,628 Speaker 1: saw last year. I think at thirty seven, it's unreasonable 355 00:15:58,668 --> 00:16:01,388 Speaker 1: to think he's going to be near his MVP form 356 00:16:01,468 --> 00:16:02,948 Speaker 1: that he had years ago, and I don't see the 357 00:16:02,988 --> 00:16:05,068 Speaker 1: support around it. I'd like to liken him to the 358 00:16:05,068 --> 00:16:08,188 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford experience, but this indie squad, as great as 359 00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:09,908 Speaker 1: it is, as great as the coaches are. It's not 360 00:16:09,948 --> 00:16:12,028 Speaker 1: the Rams, it's not the support system he has there. 361 00:16:12,068 --> 00:16:14,348 Speaker 1: Cooper cup on fire. No matter who's throwing him the 362 00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:16,708 Speaker 1: ball in that offense, does he have that there? Who's 363 00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:19,188 Speaker 1: the guy? Who are they bringing in the secondary? Oh, 364 00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:21,548 Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions here. So they're not the Rams. 365 00:16:21,788 --> 00:16:24,548 Speaker 1: He's not Manning and he's not Brady. So what is he? 366 00:16:24,748 --> 00:16:26,708 Speaker 1: We'll see and I think I still need the Colts 367 00:16:26,948 --> 00:16:29,988 Speaker 1: to sort of add more around him and go all 368 00:16:30,108 --> 00:16:33,348 Speaker 1: in allah Rams did last year. Got lots to get 369 00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:35,028 Speaker 1: to here on the show with Maurice Jones. You the 370 00:16:35,068 --> 00:16:37,508 Speaker 1: birthday boy, send your wishes to him on Twitter and Instagram. 371 00:16:37,548 --> 00:16:39,428 Speaker 1: Tom Pelisera's going to get us all the last news. 372 00:16:39,548 --> 00:16:41,868 Speaker 1: What's going on with Baker Mayfield. That's all at the 373 00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:45,108 Speaker 1: other side of this break with Kyle Bland myself as well. 374 00:16:45,108 --> 00:16:48,068 Speaker 1: Stay right here. Matt Correll's pro day, We'll talk about that. 375 00:16:48,268 --> 00:17:06,868 Speaker 1: What's the value? Where's he going? I get? Good Morning 376 00:17:06,868 --> 00:17:13,108 Speaker 1: Football and happy birthd to Maurice Jones. Drew. What's all 377 00:17:13,148 --> 00:17:15,468 Speaker 1: he's ever wanted was to wake up at three in 378 00:17:15,508 --> 00:17:17,908 Speaker 1: the morning on the West Coast and be on our show, 379 00:17:18,028 --> 00:17:21,268 Speaker 1: right yep. Best birthday I've ever had. I'm jd is here. 380 00:17:21,428 --> 00:17:24,428 Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero is here with us as well. It's time 381 00:17:24,468 --> 00:17:26,068 Speaker 1: to leave Block eyes. Let's get right into it. So 382 00:17:26,188 --> 00:17:28,668 Speaker 1: much good Block. Let's talk to you Tom Pellisero and 383 00:17:28,668 --> 00:17:31,748 Speaker 1: talk about the Browns they traded. Of course, Deshaun Watson 384 00:17:31,868 --> 00:17:33,908 Speaker 1: was a bit of a domino effect around the league. 385 00:17:33,908 --> 00:17:35,748 Speaker 1: We were waiting for that piece to drop and then boom, 386 00:17:35,828 --> 00:17:38,228 Speaker 1: the Mariotas and the Matt Ryan start getting shumpled around. 387 00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:40,508 Speaker 1: We saw the Colts, the Falcons and Saints either trade 388 00:17:40,548 --> 00:17:43,988 Speaker 1: or signed quarterbacks back. Where does it leave Baker Mayfield. 389 00:17:43,988 --> 00:17:46,748 Speaker 1: It's a good question, okay. All expectations continue to be 390 00:17:46,828 --> 00:17:49,748 Speaker 1: that the Browns ultimately are going to trade Baker Mayfield. 391 00:17:49,828 --> 00:17:52,468 Speaker 1: He wants a fresh start and there's no room for 392 00:17:52,548 --> 00:17:55,668 Speaker 1: him or his eighteen point eight million dollars fully guaranteed salary. 393 00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:59,268 Speaker 1: Now that Deshaun Watson is headed to Cleveland, the question 394 00:17:59,428 --> 00:18:02,988 Speaker 1: is where, and there are fewer and fewer seats available. Also, 395 00:18:03,028 --> 00:18:06,148 Speaker 1: Cleveland's initial asking price for Baker Mayfield was high. They 396 00:18:06,148 --> 00:18:08,388 Speaker 1: were looking for a second round draft picking more. You 397 00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:10,388 Speaker 1: would expect that that price is going to come down, 398 00:18:10,388 --> 00:18:12,628 Speaker 1: perhaps substantially and maybe they even have to eat a 399 00:18:12,748 --> 00:18:16,268 Speaker 1: good chunk, if not the majority of mayfield salary, in 400 00:18:16,348 --> 00:18:19,188 Speaker 1: order to get some kind of value. Mayfield, when he 401 00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:22,068 Speaker 1: first made the trade request, wanted to go to the 402 00:18:22,108 --> 00:18:25,468 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. They wanted a different direction with Matt Ryan. 403 00:18:25,548 --> 00:18:27,668 Speaker 1: He's got some other fans in the league. John Dorsey, 404 00:18:27,668 --> 00:18:29,628 Speaker 1: who was a Browns GM when he was drafted number one, 405 00:18:29,788 --> 00:18:33,268 Speaker 1: is now an executive for the Detroit Lions. The Seattle Seahawks. 406 00:18:33,268 --> 00:18:35,868 Speaker 1: There GM John Snyder, who is close with John Dorsey, 407 00:18:35,908 --> 00:18:37,828 Speaker 1: also liked him coming out in the draft. But for now, 408 00:18:37,948 --> 00:18:41,908 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, just like Jimmy Garoppolo, among others, continues to wait, 409 00:18:42,028 --> 00:18:44,508 Speaker 1: I like to fit for Baker Mayfield in Seattle. I 410 00:18:44,548 --> 00:18:46,308 Speaker 1: like that connection as well. Kyle, what do you make 411 00:18:46,308 --> 00:18:48,508 Speaker 1: of it? Where do you think he should go? And 412 00:18:48,588 --> 00:18:51,108 Speaker 1: will he be a starting quarterback? It's gotten tough. I've 413 00:18:51,148 --> 00:18:54,028 Speaker 1: always liked. Tom's mentioned a few times this week musical 414 00:18:54,108 --> 00:18:56,868 Speaker 1: chairs and Baker Mayfield is playing it right now, and 415 00:18:56,908 --> 00:19:00,148 Speaker 1: the chairs are going. Jamis is sitting down, Marcus Mariota 416 00:19:00,228 --> 00:19:02,988 Speaker 1: has a chair, Matt Ryan has a chair, And honestly, 417 00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:05,308 Speaker 1: if you're looking for Baker to start next year, Week one, 418 00:19:05,388 --> 00:19:08,508 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield starting quarterback. Just start going through the thirty 419 00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:11,308 Speaker 1: two find a team out of the thirty two teams. 420 00:19:11,828 --> 00:19:14,108 Speaker 1: I've come up with two still, and we keep saying 421 00:19:14,148 --> 00:19:17,668 Speaker 1: the same names. We've sent them over and over, Carolina 422 00:19:17,828 --> 00:19:20,788 Speaker 1: or Seattle. I don't see any other viable option. And 423 00:19:20,828 --> 00:19:23,508 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Caroline is in this weird position with 424 00:19:23,548 --> 00:19:26,588 Speaker 1: Sam Donald where they can't trade them. I don't think 425 00:19:26,588 --> 00:19:29,428 Speaker 1: they have any trade interest and to cut them would 426 00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:32,148 Speaker 1: be really expensive. So are you bringing in Baker Mayfield 427 00:19:32,148 --> 00:19:34,548 Speaker 1: would be the Carolina Panthers quarterback and sit there in 428 00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:36,828 Speaker 1: the same room with Sam Donald, who's from his same 429 00:19:36,908 --> 00:19:40,828 Speaker 1: draft class and was drafted just slots after. Very strange. 430 00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:42,988 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the fit. So are we 431 00:19:43,028 --> 00:19:45,508 Speaker 1: saying to answer the question, the only way Baker is 432 00:19:45,548 --> 00:19:48,108 Speaker 1: starting Week one in twenty twenty two is with Pete 433 00:19:48,108 --> 00:19:51,588 Speaker 1: Carroll Seattle Seahawks. I guess if they like them. I 434 00:19:51,588 --> 00:19:54,228 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be Garoppolo coming from San Francisco. 435 00:19:54,468 --> 00:19:56,948 Speaker 1: So who's Seattle's are they going to roll with? Through Locke? 436 00:19:57,228 --> 00:19:59,708 Speaker 1: I just don't believe that either. Less than two years 437 00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:02,548 Speaker 1: removed from beating the Steelers in the playoffs. Baker Mayfield's 438 00:20:02,588 --> 00:20:05,348 Speaker 1: only hope maybe that Pete Carroll. It's evany plus wants 439 00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:07,708 Speaker 1: to go to battle with him for his final act, 440 00:20:07,828 --> 00:20:11,228 Speaker 1: which doesn't sound probable either. So then he's looking at 441 00:20:11,228 --> 00:20:13,588 Speaker 1: the Jamis formula where a number one overall pick goes 442 00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:17,548 Speaker 1: and sits behind somebody. I think there's one viable chair, laugh, 443 00:20:17,628 --> 00:20:19,348 Speaker 1: and I think it's the Seahawks. And if somebody sits 444 00:20:19,348 --> 00:20:21,508 Speaker 1: in it, Baker is sitting back up. Kyle. This is 445 00:20:21,548 --> 00:20:23,788 Speaker 1: the thing. When you request a tray, which I did 446 00:20:23,828 --> 00:20:26,228 Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, it takes the other teams to come 447 00:20:26,228 --> 00:20:28,348 Speaker 1: out and say, hey, we want him. Now. I don't 448 00:20:28,348 --> 00:20:30,148 Speaker 1: know if teams went to the Browns and said, hey, 449 00:20:30,188 --> 00:20:32,868 Speaker 1: we want Baker Mayfield. But in this situation, you wanted 450 00:20:32,908 --> 00:20:34,668 Speaker 1: to go to the Colts. The Colts didn't want you, 451 00:20:34,948 --> 00:20:36,908 Speaker 1: So now where do you go? And if you want 452 00:20:36,908 --> 00:20:39,028 Speaker 1: to play, You're gonna have to swallow your pride because 453 00:20:39,028 --> 00:20:40,668 Speaker 1: it's not going to be in the team you wanted 454 00:20:40,708 --> 00:20:43,068 Speaker 1: to go with that was stacked. If you go to Carolina, 455 00:20:43,268 --> 00:20:44,628 Speaker 1: like you said, you're gonna have to sit in there 456 00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:46,428 Speaker 1: and compete with Sam Darnold. If you go to the 457 00:20:46,508 --> 00:20:49,268 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. You're not gonna throw the ball the way 458 00:20:49,308 --> 00:20:51,348 Speaker 1: you want to. They don't have an offensive line the 459 00:20:51,388 --> 00:20:53,908 Speaker 1: way you had in Cleveland. They want to run the ball. 460 00:20:53,908 --> 00:20:56,028 Speaker 1: You're gonna have some weapons, but they want to run 461 00:20:56,068 --> 00:20:58,348 Speaker 1: the ball and play defense. And I think we said 462 00:20:58,348 --> 00:21:00,948 Speaker 1: this earlier. The grass is not always greener, and I 463 00:21:00,988 --> 00:21:03,108 Speaker 1: think Baker Mayfield is starting to figure that out. Now. 464 00:21:03,588 --> 00:21:05,908 Speaker 1: Is that your market that you thought you had is 465 00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:09,428 Speaker 1: not there anymore? And so in this situation, this is 466 00:21:09,548 --> 00:21:11,228 Speaker 1: a little bit of humble pie, a little bit of 467 00:21:11,268 --> 00:21:14,468 Speaker 1: looking in and doing some self scouting, saying, how can 468 00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:16,948 Speaker 1: I be a better player? And am I willing to sit? 469 00:21:17,388 --> 00:21:19,868 Speaker 1: Which is most likely the best option for you now? 470 00:21:20,148 --> 00:21:23,348 Speaker 1: To sit, learn the Mitchell Drubisky way or the Jameis 471 00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:26,108 Speaker 1: Winston way, and then have another chance to be a 472 00:21:26,188 --> 00:21:29,948 Speaker 1: quarterback next year. Let's also remember this. The Browns after 473 00:21:29,988 --> 00:21:33,028 Speaker 1: the season had the normal exit meetings Kevin Stefanski with 474 00:21:33,068 --> 00:21:35,388 Speaker 1: all the different players. He spent time with Baker Mayfield 475 00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:38,108 Speaker 1: and said, we're going to move forward together here. Everything 476 00:21:38,108 --> 00:21:40,748 Speaker 1: that happened last season, obviously, Mayfield dealt with a tony injuries, 477 00:21:40,748 --> 00:21:42,828 Speaker 1: including that shoulder that kept popping in and out. He 478 00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:44,468 Speaker 1: has some kind of a lower body thing going to 479 00:21:44,628 --> 00:21:47,108 Speaker 1: that was actually a more substantial injury. Did not play 480 00:21:47,148 --> 00:21:49,308 Speaker 1: his best. But if the Browns had not gotten to 481 00:21:49,348 --> 00:21:53,148 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, their hope and their plan was to go 482 00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:55,948 Speaker 1: back to Baker Mayfield, even though Mayfield made abundantly clear 483 00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:57,708 Speaker 1: to them that he wanted nothing to do with it. 484 00:21:57,748 --> 00:21:59,628 Speaker 1: In other words, it's not as if the Browns are 485 00:21:59,628 --> 00:22:01,748 Speaker 1: in a position where they've decided Baker Mayfield camp be 486 00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:05,468 Speaker 1: an NFL starting quarterback. If Deshaun Watson head not taking 487 00:22:05,548 --> 00:22:07,868 Speaker 1: them up on their offer the second time. Remember initi 488 00:22:07,828 --> 00:22:09,868 Speaker 1: he told Cleveland they were out there was a chance, 489 00:22:09,948 --> 00:22:11,988 Speaker 1: and certainly in the Brown's mind, their hope was that 490 00:22:12,068 --> 00:22:14,068 Speaker 1: Mayfield was still going to be the quarterback. They have 491 00:22:14,068 --> 00:22:16,708 Speaker 1: a distressed asset on their hands at this point. You 492 00:22:16,748 --> 00:22:19,148 Speaker 1: can't get full value for him a second round pick 493 00:22:19,228 --> 00:22:20,988 Speaker 1: and more plus a team to take on the whole 494 00:22:20,988 --> 00:22:23,348 Speaker 1: eighteen point eight million dollars salaries. So there's a lot 495 00:22:23,348 --> 00:22:26,268 Speaker 1: of different permutations of this that they'll probably explore here 496 00:22:26,308 --> 00:22:28,708 Speaker 1: in the coming days and weeks. It's just a matter 497 00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,148 Speaker 1: of exactly where this thing lands, and quite frankly, it 498 00:22:31,188 --> 00:22:33,268 Speaker 1: might take a while, Kyle, I think the Seahawks are 499 00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,428 Speaker 1: the best fit. I don't. But it all depends on 500 00:22:35,588 --> 00:22:38,028 Speaker 1: what is the leeway or what is the pressure that 501 00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:41,268 Speaker 1: Schneider and Pete Carroll specifically, as you're mentioning his final act, 502 00:22:41,748 --> 00:22:43,548 Speaker 1: how long does he want to stick around? Because if 503 00:22:43,548 --> 00:22:45,948 Speaker 1: it's a long time, then you go to the draft 504 00:22:45,988 --> 00:22:47,748 Speaker 1: and find somebody in build and go that way. But 505 00:22:47,788 --> 00:22:49,788 Speaker 1: if you don't have that leeway or that leash, or 506 00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:51,988 Speaker 1: that self imposed pressure of winning now so you can 507 00:22:52,028 --> 00:22:54,708 Speaker 1: walk away and enjoy your retirement, then Baker to me 508 00:22:54,788 --> 00:22:57,028 Speaker 1: that that makes Baker the fit. And that's the factor. 509 00:22:57,068 --> 00:22:59,708 Speaker 1: It's it's Schneider and Pete Carroll and how much pressure 510 00:22:59,748 --> 00:23:02,028 Speaker 1: is given to them by ownership and how much pressure 511 00:23:02,028 --> 00:23:04,228 Speaker 1: they're putting on themselves, with other personal factors of course 512 00:23:04,268 --> 00:23:06,148 Speaker 1: included in which way they want to go. If it's 513 00:23:06,188 --> 00:23:08,588 Speaker 1: a short window, then Baker actually is a nice little 514 00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:11,428 Speaker 1: fit for them up there in Seattle. I ask you, Tom, 515 00:23:11,508 --> 00:23:13,748 Speaker 1: what if this is my worry all along? When he 516 00:23:13,828 --> 00:23:15,588 Speaker 1: sent the thing out, I go, Okay, Man, I don't 517 00:23:15,588 --> 00:23:17,508 Speaker 1: know what your market is, and I don't know who's 518 00:23:17,508 --> 00:23:20,068 Speaker 1: surrounding you, who's advising you, and telling, and maybe he's 519 00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:22,668 Speaker 1: beyond advisement. And I understand it's probably probable if there 520 00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:25,188 Speaker 1: isn't a trade partner, I imagine they're not going to 521 00:23:25,268 --> 00:23:27,108 Speaker 1: keep him around. They're going to have to cut him. 522 00:23:27,108 --> 00:23:29,708 Speaker 1: What are the ramifications if that happens to be the 523 00:23:29,708 --> 00:23:31,388 Speaker 1: case and nobody wants them? Well, first of all, I 524 00:23:31,428 --> 00:23:33,908 Speaker 1: think that somebody's gonna want Baker Mayfield. It's a matter 525 00:23:33,948 --> 00:23:35,908 Speaker 1: of the price. He was the number one overall pick 526 00:23:35,988 --> 00:23:38,508 Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen. As Kyle mentioned, he want a 527 00:23:38,548 --> 00:23:40,228 Speaker 1: lot of games in twenty twenty he played at a 528 00:23:40,228 --> 00:23:42,508 Speaker 1: pretty high level and want a playoff game too. If 529 00:23:42,548 --> 00:23:44,388 Speaker 1: in the event that they did cut him, they all 530 00:23:44,508 --> 00:23:47,028 Speaker 1: eighteen point eight million dollars fully guaranteed. I do not 531 00:23:47,108 --> 00:23:49,188 Speaker 1: anticipate that that's the direction this is going to go. 532 00:23:49,388 --> 00:23:51,468 Speaker 1: It could end up being, as I mentioned, the Browns 533 00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:53,628 Speaker 1: have to eat a bunch of his salary, maybe most 534 00:23:53,668 --> 00:23:55,748 Speaker 1: of his salary, and get some kind of a draft 535 00:23:55,788 --> 00:23:57,588 Speaker 1: pick for him. It's always tough when you get in 536 00:23:57,628 --> 00:24:00,788 Speaker 1: these situations and everyone knows that it's not viable for 537 00:24:00,828 --> 00:24:03,148 Speaker 1: you to keep him on the roster. That really takes 538 00:24:03,148 --> 00:24:05,828 Speaker 1: out a lot of your leverage. But is Baker Mayfield 539 00:24:06,268 --> 00:24:08,468 Speaker 1: worse than the thirty second quarterback in the league. No, 540 00:24:08,748 --> 00:24:10,868 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would argue that he is a 541 00:24:10,908 --> 00:24:14,108 Speaker 1: starting caliber quarterback in the NFL. You can debate at 542 00:24:14,108 --> 00:24:17,668 Speaker 1: what level he's a starting quarterback within the NFL. Somebody 543 00:24:17,748 --> 00:24:19,788 Speaker 1: is going to need somebody, whether it's to come in 544 00:24:19,828 --> 00:24:23,188 Speaker 1: and compete, to start, to be a backup, whatever. And 545 00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:25,228 Speaker 1: the price point, both terms of the trade and the 546 00:24:25,388 --> 00:24:28,108 Speaker 1: financial compensation, is going to tell us a lot about 547 00:24:28,148 --> 00:24:30,388 Speaker 1: how that next team used Baker Mayfield. And there's of 548 00:24:30,428 --> 00:24:33,468 Speaker 1: course very few musical chairs available right now. Injuries a 549 00:24:33,508 --> 00:24:35,588 Speaker 1: part of our game, so there's always that factor and 550 00:24:35,628 --> 00:24:41,428 Speaker 1: that show to drop down the line. Unfortunately, very curious 551 00:24:41,468 --> 00:24:43,748 Speaker 1: about what Matt Correll looks like today. It is pro day. 552 00:24:43,748 --> 00:24:45,668 Speaker 1: The last time we saw him he had an injury 553 00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:47,988 Speaker 1: in the Sugar Bowl against Baylor. In this installment of 554 00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:50,308 Speaker 1: First Draft, you'll see that he's one of the top 555 00:24:50,428 --> 00:24:54,028 Speaker 1: quarterback prospects and he explains why opting out of that 556 00:24:54,148 --> 00:24:57,868 Speaker 1: game was never an option. He explains what leadership means 557 00:24:57,908 --> 00:25:03,508 Speaker 1: to him as well. Take a look Correll, Let's fly 558 00:25:04,428 --> 00:25:11,748 Speaker 1: shot into the answer on Matthew Corrall quarterback ole miss 559 00:25:11,748 --> 00:25:18,228 Speaker 1: Stamp to Corral. He's going I would describe my style 560 00:25:18,268 --> 00:25:24,868 Speaker 1: of play as control digression. I always put my team first. 561 00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:31,508 Speaker 1: I'll call myself a servant leader. No job too big 562 00:25:31,588 --> 00:25:33,668 Speaker 1: or too small. I would to ask anybody to do 563 00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:41,148 Speaker 1: anything that I wouldn't do. Corral pumps pressor him. Corral 564 00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:44,188 Speaker 1: is struggling to get to his feet. He is in pain. 565 00:25:44,908 --> 00:25:46,908 Speaker 1: You know, it was never really a decision to opt out, 566 00:25:46,988 --> 00:25:49,908 Speaker 1: just because I've never crossed my mind. You know, I 567 00:25:49,988 --> 00:25:51,708 Speaker 1: kind of got concerned because I thought the whole team 568 00:25:51,868 --> 00:25:53,628 Speaker 1: kind of thought I wasn't going to be playing, and 569 00:25:53,788 --> 00:25:55,428 Speaker 1: I just let them know that I wouldn't be here 570 00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:57,948 Speaker 1: in this position without them, and I'm just gonna give 571 00:25:57,988 --> 00:26:00,188 Speaker 1: him everything I got till it's over. Yeah, I think 572 00:26:00,388 --> 00:26:01,988 Speaker 1: there's really two ways you can go to about it. 573 00:26:02,108 --> 00:26:03,628 Speaker 1: You know, when it gets real tough, you got your 574 00:26:03,668 --> 00:26:06,588 Speaker 1: teammates selene on and your brothers from the right and 575 00:26:06,668 --> 00:26:08,228 Speaker 1: left of you that put it in the work with 576 00:26:08,268 --> 00:26:10,308 Speaker 1: you every single day, being on the same page as 577 00:26:10,308 --> 00:26:11,788 Speaker 1: then to understand what you want to get out of 578 00:26:11,988 --> 00:26:14,268 Speaker 1: not only life but the sport that you're playing. And 579 00:26:14,508 --> 00:26:18,388 Speaker 1: straight up the gun goes Corral realistically that's what pushes 580 00:26:18,428 --> 00:26:23,108 Speaker 1: me through the game. I remember I was six years 581 00:26:23,108 --> 00:26:25,788 Speaker 1: old and I was watching Arizona State versus USC on 582 00:26:25,828 --> 00:26:27,668 Speaker 1: the couch with my dad, and my dad was kind 583 00:26:27,668 --> 00:26:29,068 Speaker 1: of explaining the rules to me, and I told him 584 00:26:29,068 --> 00:26:30,388 Speaker 1: I wanted to play next year, and they just so 585 00:26:30,468 --> 00:26:32,988 Speaker 1: happened that the next year I was able to start 586 00:26:33,068 --> 00:26:35,708 Speaker 1: playing draft. They would be a lot of tears and 587 00:26:35,748 --> 00:26:39,388 Speaker 1: emotions from my family, But for me, journey is just beginning. 588 00:26:39,908 --> 00:26:42,068 Speaker 1: All has to do with my family. My grandma's name 589 00:26:42,148 --> 00:26:44,708 Speaker 1: is Rosie, so I got a roast. Everything revolves around her. 590 00:26:44,748 --> 00:26:46,908 Speaker 1: I got Marion Joseph at the top, and I got 591 00:26:46,948 --> 00:26:49,628 Speaker 1: Isaiah forty thirty one. Well, you can expect for me 592 00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:51,748 Speaker 1: when I get to the NFL is someone that's going 593 00:26:51,788 --> 00:26:53,828 Speaker 1: to be a key on that team. My biggest trade 594 00:26:53,828 --> 00:26:56,468 Speaker 1: of my leadership and being able to be that person 595 00:26:56,508 --> 00:26:59,068 Speaker 1: that could talk to anybody from whatever background they're from. 596 00:26:59,268 --> 00:27:04,108 Speaker 1: That's what makes a team a team. He is that person, 597 00:27:04,548 --> 00:27:06,468 Speaker 1: is a leader. That team would run through a wall 598 00:27:06,468 --> 00:27:08,148 Speaker 1: from him, and he wouldn't asked them to run through 599 00:27:08,148 --> 00:27:09,908 Speaker 1: a wall if he wasn't going to do it himself. 600 00:27:09,908 --> 00:27:12,428 Speaker 1: As he just said, I'm really intrigued by this prospect 601 00:27:12,508 --> 00:27:14,388 Speaker 1: because he's a bit of a wild card. We haven't 602 00:27:14,428 --> 00:27:16,548 Speaker 1: seen him yet. We'll see him today at four pm 603 00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:19,508 Speaker 1: right here on NFL Network Pro Day at Old Miss. 604 00:27:19,588 --> 00:27:21,268 Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to and what do you 605 00:27:21,308 --> 00:27:23,548 Speaker 1: need to see from Matt Corrall? Okay, I think one 606 00:27:23,548 --> 00:27:25,268 Speaker 1: thing that the scouts you're going to be looking for 607 00:27:25,428 --> 00:27:26,868 Speaker 1: is how big is he? He wighed in a two 608 00:27:26,948 --> 00:27:29,508 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve pounds. He's six foot one five ace 609 00:27:29,868 --> 00:27:32,388 Speaker 1: at the combine. That's a lot higher than what teams 610 00:27:32,388 --> 00:27:34,188 Speaker 1: think he actually was playing at at Old Miss. They 611 00:27:34,188 --> 00:27:35,668 Speaker 1: think he was right around, if not a little bit 612 00:27:35,748 --> 00:27:37,948 Speaker 1: under two hundred pounds. So has he kept that weight on? 613 00:27:38,028 --> 00:27:40,668 Speaker 1: And then presuming that he is a full participant in 614 00:27:40,748 --> 00:27:43,588 Speaker 1: terms of the throwing session and potentially the drills, it's 615 00:27:43,588 --> 00:27:45,148 Speaker 1: how well is he moving on that ankle? I mean, 616 00:27:45,148 --> 00:27:46,948 Speaker 1: you go back and watch the tape of that ankle 617 00:27:46,988 --> 00:27:49,908 Speaker 1: injury and people immediately feared the worst. I was told 618 00:27:49,908 --> 00:27:53,188 Speaker 1: it was a really significant high ankle sprain. He had 619 00:27:53,228 --> 00:27:56,068 Speaker 1: a six to eight week recovery, so he didn't even 620 00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:59,668 Speaker 1: resume light throwing until mid February. The hope was he 621 00:27:59,748 --> 00:28:01,908 Speaker 1: was going to be able to ramp up and be 622 00:28:02,028 --> 00:28:05,388 Speaker 1: ready to be full go at this Pro day. Yeah, Tom, 623 00:28:05,548 --> 00:28:08,788 Speaker 1: I think look more than anything, Like the last couple 624 00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:11,988 Speaker 1: of guys we've talked about, Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, you 625 00:28:11,988 --> 00:28:13,268 Speaker 1: want to go out there and show what you have. 626 00:28:13,428 --> 00:28:16,748 Speaker 1: And he's an athletic guy, a Southern California kid. To me, 627 00:28:16,828 --> 00:28:19,508 Speaker 1: he has an explosive arms, he can run, and you 628 00:28:19,548 --> 00:28:21,508 Speaker 1: want to show all those attributes. You want to show 629 00:28:21,548 --> 00:28:23,148 Speaker 1: what you can do. Now. I don't know if he'll 630 00:28:23,188 --> 00:28:24,868 Speaker 1: run the forty or due a lot of the cutting 631 00:28:24,908 --> 00:28:27,108 Speaker 1: drows because he didn't do much of anything obviously because 632 00:28:27,108 --> 00:28:29,028 Speaker 1: at an ankle injury. But you want to show when 633 00:28:29,028 --> 00:28:31,548 Speaker 1: you're planning and you're throwing off that foot that you're 634 00:28:31,388 --> 00:28:33,348 Speaker 1: you're you're showing that it's strong and able to make 635 00:28:33,388 --> 00:28:35,068 Speaker 1: those throws. You want to show that you could throw 636 00:28:35,108 --> 00:28:37,828 Speaker 1: the ball outside the numbers consistently. You want to show 637 00:28:37,988 --> 00:28:40,468 Speaker 1: the deep throws that we saw at other pro days. 638 00:28:40,468 --> 00:28:42,508 Speaker 1: You want to show off and again it goes back 639 00:28:42,548 --> 00:28:44,828 Speaker 1: to what we saw last year. When you watch I 640 00:28:44,908 --> 00:28:48,428 Speaker 1: actually saw it on Instagram or Twitter Zach Wilson's throw 641 00:28:48,428 --> 00:28:50,548 Speaker 1: where he's backpedaling to the left and he launches it 642 00:28:50,588 --> 00:28:52,708 Speaker 1: to the right. You want to make those guys want 643 00:28:52,788 --> 00:28:55,508 Speaker 1: more of you. And I think Matt crowse his career 644 00:28:55,548 --> 00:28:57,948 Speaker 1: has been really good at Old Miss, and he's done 645 00:28:57,948 --> 00:29:00,308 Speaker 1: some great things. Now it's time to show you who 646 00:29:00,308 --> 00:29:02,028 Speaker 1: you really are and what you can bring to a team. 647 00:29:02,188 --> 00:29:04,908 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by the interviews, whatever he has to say, 648 00:29:04,908 --> 00:29:07,628 Speaker 1: and how he conducts himself. This guy is an open 649 00:29:07,708 --> 00:29:11,228 Speaker 1: book and a fascinating book, and has way more things 650 00:29:11,268 --> 00:29:13,868 Speaker 1: going on than your average college kid. I would encourage 651 00:29:13,868 --> 00:29:15,948 Speaker 1: everybody to read a piece by Dennis Dodd that he 652 00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:18,828 Speaker 1: wrote for CBS in twenty twenty one in which Matt 653 00:29:18,868 --> 00:29:22,428 Speaker 1: Correll talks openly about you name. It's about going through 654 00:29:22,508 --> 00:29:25,908 Speaker 1: therapy for depression, about giving up drinking, about the way 655 00:29:25,908 --> 00:29:28,468 Speaker 1: that he won over his teammates at Ole Miss by 656 00:29:28,628 --> 00:29:32,028 Speaker 1: speaking to them in the wake of George Floyd's murder 657 00:29:32,068 --> 00:29:34,388 Speaker 1: about his high school experience when he was an Oaks 658 00:29:34,468 --> 00:29:38,268 Speaker 1: Christian in LA and fought with Wayne Gretzky's son and 659 00:29:38,308 --> 00:29:41,068 Speaker 1: had to leave the school and said about the school, 660 00:29:41,348 --> 00:29:43,508 Speaker 1: it's a bunch of rich kids who flash money, who 661 00:29:43,508 --> 00:29:45,228 Speaker 1: will never have to work a day in their life. 662 00:29:45,468 --> 00:29:48,948 Speaker 1: This guy has convictions. He's got depth, he has takes, 663 00:29:49,028 --> 00:29:52,228 Speaker 1: he has a big personality with really strong convictions. You 664 00:29:52,228 --> 00:29:55,308 Speaker 1: saw on the piece there. He's got the tattoos memorializing 665 00:29:55,348 --> 00:29:57,628 Speaker 1: different people. This is not just a college kid who 666 00:29:57,628 --> 00:29:59,948 Speaker 1: can chuck a football. He has a lot going on. 667 00:30:00,188 --> 00:30:02,308 Speaker 1: He is a little bit loose with it sometimes, which 668 00:30:02,348 --> 00:30:04,588 Speaker 1: I like. But we'll see what he has to say 669 00:30:04,188 --> 00:30:05,988 Speaker 1: to what he has to say going into his career. 670 00:30:06,028 --> 00:30:09,308 Speaker 1: Because this guy's different and I'm here for it, so 671 00:30:09,348 --> 00:30:11,708 Speaker 1: the concerns aren't loose with it. That's what I keep hearing. 672 00:30:11,788 --> 00:30:14,588 Speaker 1: And of course the size, which you're talking about, Tom, 673 00:30:14,628 --> 00:30:16,388 Speaker 1: what do the measurements look like. He's a bit shorter 674 00:30:16,428 --> 00:30:18,828 Speaker 1: than some teams might like. But if we're talking wow 675 00:30:18,908 --> 00:30:21,788 Speaker 1: factor Kyle outside of Willis this is it. This is 676 00:30:21,788 --> 00:30:24,388 Speaker 1: a guy who at eleven rushing touchdowns last year. This 677 00:30:24,428 --> 00:30:26,988 Speaker 1: is a guy who's probably one of the more accurate 678 00:30:27,148 --> 00:30:29,468 Speaker 1: passers that are in this draft class who can sort 679 00:30:29,508 --> 00:30:33,148 Speaker 1: of get it going. He is fun to watch. He 680 00:30:33,228 --> 00:30:35,908 Speaker 1: has an exciting skill set. He has that sort of 681 00:30:35,908 --> 00:30:38,228 Speaker 1: thing that you know you're gonna have memories potentially from 682 00:30:38,228 --> 00:30:40,748 Speaker 1: this pro day today, So check it out. And I'm 683 00:30:40,788 --> 00:30:42,468 Speaker 1: excited to see how he does. And I like when 684 00:30:42,468 --> 00:30:44,748 Speaker 1: we haven't seen somebody at the combine and there's a 685 00:30:44,788 --> 00:30:46,868 Speaker 1: lot of pressure, and you'll sort of see what that 686 00:30:46,948 --> 00:30:48,948 Speaker 1: looks like, what he looks like. I mean, of course 687 00:30:49,028 --> 00:30:51,388 Speaker 1: those interviews, like you're saying, all right, we've got Morgan 688 00:30:51,428 --> 00:30:56,068 Speaker 1: Morning Football on the way, Tom and MTD and Kyle 689 00:30:56,108 --> 00:30:58,868 Speaker 1: Brandt and mgd's birthday and I have to tap dance 690 00:30:58,948 --> 00:31:03,908 Speaker 1: for ten seconds, so let's do it.

So let's get two 701 00:31:54,948 --> 00:32:01,708 Speaker 1: guys the lead Lee block block nice and quick. All right, KB, 702 00:32:01,948 --> 00:32:04,348 Speaker 1: it's been a pretty busyday offseason for the defending CHAMPI 703 00:32:04,428 --> 00:32:07,188 Speaker 1: The Rams made a big signing with Alan Robinson, of course, 704 00:32:07,188 --> 00:32:10,108 Speaker 1: to the delights of mister Brant, but they did lose 705 00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:14,988 Speaker 1: Von Miller to the delight mister Brant to the Buffalo Bill. 706 00:32:15,428 --> 00:32:17,708 Speaker 1: Now yester're a general manager, lest need gave us an 707 00:32:17,788 --> 00:32:20,628 Speaker 1: update on two other key pieces to their championship run. 708 00:32:21,188 --> 00:32:23,228 Speaker 1: What's up with Aaron Donald's Does he have a shirt on? 709 00:32:23,428 --> 00:32:25,348 Speaker 1: Is he signing a deal? Is he coming back? O'Dell? 710 00:32:25,428 --> 00:32:28,268 Speaker 1: What's the story? Trying to come up with a win 711 00:32:28,348 --> 00:32:32,548 Speaker 1: win solution to reward Aaron, but still definitely be able 712 00:32:32,548 --> 00:32:35,708 Speaker 1: to continue trying to compete as a team at the 713 00:32:35,788 --> 00:32:38,148 Speaker 1: highest level. So then where did thinks stand with the 714 00:32:38,548 --> 00:32:41,348 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. I think he's someone that we definitely 715 00:32:41,428 --> 00:32:44,548 Speaker 1: won't back. I think a little bit more complex situation 716 00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:49,428 Speaker 1: based on injury will not get into that. All right, 717 00:32:49,548 --> 00:32:52,508 Speaker 1: let's get to it, gentlemen. They're working to extend Donald. 718 00:32:52,588 --> 00:32:54,668 Speaker 1: If we take a look at what they've done, presignificant 719 00:32:54,668 --> 00:32:56,828 Speaker 1: stuff compared to what we've seen over the past two weeks. 720 00:32:57,628 --> 00:32:59,428 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's enough. Is it enough to 721 00:32:59,468 --> 00:33:02,708 Speaker 1: be the top dog? Let's take a look, Dan Hans says, 722 00:33:03,228 --> 00:33:06,708 Speaker 1: enough am, He's says, the latest rankings drop them. How 723 00:33:06,748 --> 00:33:10,988 Speaker 1: about that the Rams below the Buffalo Bills after the 724 00:33:11,028 --> 00:33:13,708 Speaker 1: first wave of free agency. So it's the Chiefs at three, 725 00:33:14,108 --> 00:33:16,468 Speaker 1: the Bengals in the fourth bomb all right ahead of 726 00:33:16,468 --> 00:33:19,708 Speaker 1: Brady's Bucks, which is interesting. The Niners are a spot 727 00:33:19,708 --> 00:33:22,788 Speaker 1: ahead of the Packers to the Chargers, as we see 728 00:33:22,828 --> 00:33:27,708 Speaker 1: they are above the Broncos with new ad Russell Wilson. Interesting. 729 00:33:27,788 --> 00:33:29,748 Speaker 1: You can start out the full rankings over at NFL 730 00:33:29,788 --> 00:33:32,068 Speaker 1: dot com slash power rankings, So MGD will start with 731 00:33:32,108 --> 00:33:34,468 Speaker 1: the birthday boy. Looking at this list of Dan Hans 732 00:33:34,508 --> 00:33:36,428 Speaker 1: his power rankings, what sort of sticks out to you? 733 00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,068 Speaker 1: I think it's the Rams being at number two. Yes, 734 00:33:39,108 --> 00:33:41,668 Speaker 1: they lost a lot, but we have to remember Aaron 735 00:33:41,748 --> 00:33:44,428 Speaker 1: Donald's still there. Defensively. You talk about the big names 736 00:33:44,428 --> 00:33:47,148 Speaker 1: of von Miller being leaving, or Darius Williams with a 737 00:33:47,188 --> 00:33:50,428 Speaker 1: starting corner, they've actually drafted to replace him. Johnny Hacker, 738 00:33:50,908 --> 00:33:53,508 Speaker 1: one of the best punters in the National Football League. 739 00:33:53,508 --> 00:33:55,748 Speaker 1: He leaves, but they still have the nucleus that helped 740 00:33:55,748 --> 00:33:57,868 Speaker 1: them win that Super Bowl, and they'll continue to do that. 741 00:33:57,908 --> 00:34:01,108 Speaker 1: They're still a young roster, and as we heard, less 742 00:34:01,188 --> 00:34:03,148 Speaker 1: need to talk about, they're finding a way to pay 743 00:34:03,188 --> 00:34:05,588 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's money because of what he was able to do. 744 00:34:05,748 --> 00:34:07,628 Speaker 1: I still believe the Rams are the top team now. 745 00:34:07,708 --> 00:34:09,708 Speaker 1: I know the Buffalo Bills went out and address some 746 00:34:09,788 --> 00:34:12,148 Speaker 1: things free agency and they're trying to buy a ship, 747 00:34:12,268 --> 00:34:14,548 Speaker 1: but they still have to get past the Kansas City Chiefs. 748 00:34:14,988 --> 00:34:16,868 Speaker 1: And to me, if you look at the NFC, and 749 00:34:16,908 --> 00:34:19,428 Speaker 1: we've talked about this with Kyle, it's only really two 750 00:34:19,468 --> 00:34:21,228 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC right now, it's just gonna be 751 00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:23,148 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Buccaneers. I was gonna say the Packers, 752 00:34:23,188 --> 00:34:25,668 Speaker 1: but they lost Avante Adams. So to me, I think 753 00:34:25,668 --> 00:34:27,708 Speaker 1: the Rams should be the number one team until they lose, 754 00:34:27,788 --> 00:34:32,948 Speaker 1: until someone else defeats him in the playoffs. Well, this 755 00:34:33,028 --> 00:34:35,348 Speaker 1: is where if Dan was on the show, he would say, 756 00:34:35,748 --> 00:34:39,668 Speaker 1: it's not power standings, it's power rankings. And I know 757 00:34:39,748 --> 00:34:42,188 Speaker 1: he's at home somewhere doing that. I'm proud of Dan, 758 00:34:42,308 --> 00:34:44,468 Speaker 1: first of all, because this is difficult, and to take 759 00:34:44,548 --> 00:34:47,948 Speaker 1: Buffalo and put them number one, you thereby incur the 760 00:34:47,988 --> 00:34:52,668 Speaker 1: wrath of Chiefs fans, Bengals fans, all those teams that 761 00:34:52,708 --> 00:34:55,628 Speaker 1: were alive beyond the Bills and the playoffs. But I 762 00:34:55,668 --> 00:34:57,828 Speaker 1: do like it, and I like it because I have 763 00:34:57,948 --> 00:35:00,428 Speaker 1: seen the takeout there from several media members who I 764 00:35:00,428 --> 00:35:02,748 Speaker 1: won't name, who said after the Super Bowl was over 765 00:35:02,828 --> 00:35:05,348 Speaker 1: and the Rams beat the Bengals, I've heard them say 766 00:35:05,828 --> 00:35:07,668 Speaker 1: the Bills were the best team in football this year, 767 00:35:07,708 --> 00:35:09,868 Speaker 1: they just didn't win, which I don't subscribe to. But 768 00:35:09,908 --> 00:35:12,308 Speaker 1: I do think a lot of power rankings could come 769 00:35:12,308 --> 00:35:14,428 Speaker 1: out to sports to start the season, and even if 770 00:35:14,428 --> 00:35:16,788 Speaker 1: the Bills hadn't gotten von Miller, I still think they 771 00:35:16,828 --> 00:35:18,308 Speaker 1: would have been number one on a lot of them, 772 00:35:18,348 --> 00:35:20,948 Speaker 1: just based on the Josh Allen expressed. So I love 773 00:35:20,948 --> 00:35:23,028 Speaker 1: that Dan did that. By the way, people, especially as 774 00:35:23,068 --> 00:35:24,988 Speaker 1: a Jets fan. He is a Jets fanning with Bills. 775 00:35:25,028 --> 00:35:28,148 Speaker 1: But what's curious to me is the Niners. He's got 776 00:35:28,228 --> 00:35:31,388 Speaker 1: the Niners up there really high, and he doesn't Maybe 777 00:35:31,468 --> 00:35:35,148 Speaker 1: Dan knows something about Trey Lance that we don't, but 778 00:35:35,268 --> 00:35:37,908 Speaker 1: that is a huge enigma in their season. We know 779 00:35:37,988 --> 00:35:40,188 Speaker 1: it's not going to be Jimmy, can this dude play? 780 00:35:40,908 --> 00:35:44,108 Speaker 1: I don't know the returns last year. We're just flashes 781 00:35:44,148 --> 00:35:47,228 Speaker 1: of promise with some real trouble. Troubling things too, and 782 00:35:47,268 --> 00:35:48,908 Speaker 1: maybe you spend the whole year with Shanahan and the 783 00:35:48,908 --> 00:35:51,828 Speaker 1: talent comes over. Fine, But to have them as high 784 00:35:51,828 --> 00:35:54,428 Speaker 1: as he does in the top six out of thirty 785 00:35:54,508 --> 00:35:58,508 Speaker 1: two teams with a woefully unproven quarterback. I like Deebo 786 00:35:58,548 --> 00:36:00,908 Speaker 1: as much as the next guy, but six seems pretty 787 00:36:01,028 --> 00:36:03,228 Speaker 1: rich to me, especially since look at the guys he's 788 00:36:03,228 --> 00:36:05,108 Speaker 1: in front of it. He's got Ray Lance in front 789 00:36:05,148 --> 00:36:09,708 Speaker 1: of Rogers Herbert Russell Wilson, like he must know something 790 00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,468 Speaker 1: that I don't. Because the Niners, while they may be 791 00:36:11,468 --> 00:36:15,028 Speaker 1: a good team, six is rare air pellasero. Let's keep 792 00:36:15,068 --> 00:36:16,788 Speaker 1: that top ten on the screen for a second here, 793 00:36:16,788 --> 00:36:20,028 Speaker 1: because we've talked so much about the AFC West. It's 794 00:36:20,028 --> 00:36:22,188 Speaker 1: the All Star League. I want to look through the 795 00:36:22,228 --> 00:36:24,788 Speaker 1: AFC West. How big this all? Right? To the Chiefs 796 00:36:24,908 --> 00:36:28,148 Speaker 1: right number three, still giving them top dog territory, the 797 00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:31,388 Speaker 1: Chargers coming in, number eight, the Broncos and number nine, 798 00:36:31,428 --> 00:36:35,788 Speaker 1: who's missing? Where are the Raiders here? You bring in 799 00:36:35,948 --> 00:36:40,468 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, You make a monster trade for Davante Adams, 800 00:36:40,588 --> 00:36:43,708 Speaker 1: You add Chandler Jones to Max Crosby to go chase 801 00:36:43,748 --> 00:36:48,348 Speaker 1: around Patrick Maholmes and Justin Herbert and Russell Wilson, Hansas. 802 00:36:48,388 --> 00:36:52,108 Speaker 1: You do not want the wrath of Raider Nation in 803 00:36:52,268 --> 00:36:54,508 Speaker 1: your DMS. I'm gonna try to take care of this 804 00:36:54,548 --> 00:36:56,188 Speaker 1: for you. Actually, I'm gonna draw a lot of attention 805 00:36:56,228 --> 00:36:58,228 Speaker 1: to us now. Maybe you will get more messages. The 806 00:36:58,428 --> 00:37:02,668 Speaker 1: Raiders not in the top ten highly controversial at this 807 00:37:02,788 --> 00:37:05,708 Speaker 1: particular stage in the offseason. I'm sure he very much 808 00:37:05,708 --> 00:37:08,628 Speaker 1: referred to its you're pointing that out on narstional television. 809 00:37:08,748 --> 00:37:13,468 Speaker 1: Tom two quick notes the Titans. Who's the number one 810 00:37:13,588 --> 00:37:16,028 Speaker 1: seed in the AFC last year? Where are they sitting 811 00:37:16,028 --> 00:37:18,948 Speaker 1: on this list at ten? It's a little low. I'm 812 00:37:18,948 --> 00:37:20,788 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and say it. They were one and 813 00:37:20,828 --> 00:37:23,148 Speaker 1: done in the playoffs. I know that that wasn't inspiring 814 00:37:23,228 --> 00:37:25,708 Speaker 1: to anyone, But you cannot tell me that a healthy 815 00:37:25,828 --> 00:37:28,228 Speaker 1: Derek Carr Ryan tanne would play a little more like 816 00:37:28,228 --> 00:37:30,548 Speaker 1: he did in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty instead of 817 00:37:30,548 --> 00:37:33,068 Speaker 1: what he looked like last year. This team is going 818 00:37:33,108 --> 00:37:35,548 Speaker 1: to be in the mix yet again. I don't know 819 00:37:35,548 --> 00:37:37,828 Speaker 1: if this is the Ryan Tannehill factor, the one and 820 00:37:37,908 --> 00:37:40,948 Speaker 1: done kind of stuff. This team is always overlooked and 821 00:37:41,028 --> 00:37:44,388 Speaker 1: this kind of a ranking. Dan Hans. This is why 822 00:37:44,508 --> 00:37:46,908 Speaker 1: Titans fans are in my mentions day in day out 823 00:37:46,948 --> 00:37:50,308 Speaker 1: talking about how much respect they don't get there. Yeah, 824 00:37:50,308 --> 00:37:53,348 Speaker 1: they're the sixth ranked team in the AFC. On this list, 825 00:37:53,388 --> 00:37:55,508 Speaker 1: they were the one seed I don't get it. Also, Kyle, 826 00:37:55,548 --> 00:37:57,548 Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you. Are you surprised that a 827 00:37:57,588 --> 00:38:00,908 Speaker 1: notable team not on this list is the Cleveland Browns. 828 00:38:01,108 --> 00:38:04,908 Speaker 1: First of all Titans fans, you got nothing to say. Stop. 829 00:38:05,108 --> 00:38:07,228 Speaker 1: I think he gave you a credit giving number ten. 830 00:38:07,348 --> 00:38:08,908 Speaker 1: I put my neck out for you made me look 831 00:38:08,988 --> 00:38:12,028 Speaker 1: terrible the last time we saw you. Your quarterback through 832 00:38:12,068 --> 00:38:13,908 Speaker 1: an interception on the first play of the game, on 833 00:38:13,988 --> 00:38:15,588 Speaker 1: the first play of the second half, and on the 834 00:38:15,628 --> 00:38:18,028 Speaker 1: last play of the game, you sacked Joe Burrow thirty 835 00:38:18,028 --> 00:38:19,908 Speaker 1: seven times. And you're still lost. Like, I think you 836 00:38:19,948 --> 00:38:22,468 Speaker 1: should be thankful to be at ten. As for the Browns, 837 00:38:22,628 --> 00:38:24,948 Speaker 1: it's a good question because all we heard was that 838 00:38:25,188 --> 00:38:27,548 Speaker 1: Baker's got the sweetest gig in the NFL. Sit there, 839 00:38:27,548 --> 00:38:29,188 Speaker 1: hand at the chubb and hump behind that old line 840 00:38:29,228 --> 00:38:31,308 Speaker 1: and throw it to those whiteouts. It's easy. And now 841 00:38:31,348 --> 00:38:34,868 Speaker 1: they just added a more talented, more established guy, and 842 00:38:34,948 --> 00:38:37,628 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson not even the tenth best team. I wonder 843 00:38:37,668 --> 00:38:39,148 Speaker 1: if that one was a little hot for hands us. 844 00:38:39,188 --> 00:38:41,028 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear his name. I think it would 845 00:38:41,028 --> 00:38:43,428 Speaker 1: probably crack the top ten for me, probably over Tennessee. 846 00:38:44,108 --> 00:38:46,548 Speaker 1: I will say they had a really good podcast right 847 00:38:46,588 --> 00:38:49,188 Speaker 1: after the big trade happened. Mark sec Lary, long time 848 00:38:49,228 --> 00:38:52,348 Speaker 1: Browns fan, lifetime Browns fan. So I would urge everybody 849 00:38:52,348 --> 00:38:54,348 Speaker 1: if you haven't yet this week that around the NFL 850 00:38:54,388 --> 00:38:57,628 Speaker 1: podcast is incredible as always and it was a powerful conversation. 851 00:38:57,708 --> 00:39:00,668 Speaker 1: We do Pro Days today, Matt Correll doing his things. 852 00:39:00,708 --> 00:39:03,388 Speaker 1: Your passengers will be out there, can't wait to see him. 853 00:39:03,468 --> 00:39:05,788 Speaker 1: He is a fiery character. You want to see that 854 00:39:05,868 --> 00:39:09,028 Speaker 1: throwing session.
