Hello everybody, it's 2 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: me Jason McIntyre Straight Fire for Friday, April thirty. I 3 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: hope the draft was good to you, boys and girls. 4 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I did a five hour production for 5 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Digital. I walk off the set. You know, 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm a little tired, I'm sweaty um. You know, there 7 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: were no commercial breaks like during the drafts commercial breaks 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: for what we did for Fox Digital, no commercial breaks. 9 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: You're talking the whole way through and I'm just like 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: and they're like, this is the biggest thing we've ever done. 11 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: And they were so thrilled that I was happy. Listen. 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: It was fun. We got to break down every single 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: pick as it happened. Tons of gambling. I called Justin 14 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: Fields to Chicago for right after he got by who 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: was it at at nine Den? I was like, whoa, 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: somebody's got a trade up for him, and it was 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: Justin Fields to Chicago for four d U plus fourteen hundred. 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: We'll get the fields in a minute. A lot to 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: get through here. Um, you know, rob g we're taping 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: this after the first round, before the second round, like unfortunately, 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: overshadowing everything in the draft, was Aaron Rodgers, Like, I mean, 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: that news hit the NFL like a comment on Thursday. 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: And the first person I thought of was Charles Robinson 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: because on this podcast two weeks ago he called that ship. 25 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: He said Aaron Rodgers does not like or trust the GM, 26 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and you know, we pushed it out and I think 27 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: the podcast did well and it got some pick up 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: on social media, but ultimately it's like, oh, you know, 29 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. He's always unhappy, he's always ordinery. And 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: some random dude says that the fort is called and 31 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: offered Jimmy g and three and everything, and the packer 32 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: said no, and then everybody shoots the sky down and 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: then it comes out from Schefter, Hey, Aaron Rodgers is 34 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: extremely unhappy, Jay Glazer, Aaron Rodgers wants out, and it's 35 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: just snowballed and mushroom quickly, and you're like, holy cow. 36 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there are reports, folks from Thursday afternoon before 37 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: the draft, I would say, like six o'clock pm Eastern time, 38 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers does not want to go back. He 39 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: has told people he's not going back, and so there's 40 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: this big oh my gosh, there's the third pick to 41 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: get traded. What about the Denver Broncos. He says, that's 42 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: like one of his options. By the end of last night, 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: the GM of the Packers had to get to the 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: podium and say, we are not going to trade Aaron Rodgers. 45 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: It was kind of a definitive we're not trading him. 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: But Rob g I'm gonna be honest with you, Aaron 47 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: Rodgers is not that dude. If he wants out and 48 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: you say we're not trading him and he has made 49 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: it clear to you that there's a lack of trust 50 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: and he doesn't feel comfortable, I mean, is there a 51 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: chance Aaron Rodgers sits out next season? That's gotta be 52 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: on the table, does it not? Oh, it has to be. 53 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: And if I'm Green Bay and I'm their general manager 54 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try to say his name and I'm 55 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: gonna butcher it, Bryan Guntkust or something, it was front 56 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: office malpractice to not trade Aaron Rodgers during or before 57 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: the draft because once they made that Jordan's Love pick 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: last year, which I got some very interesting intel on 59 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: that decision during the Fox Board Radio draft broadcast of 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: Jake Glazer. I can't share it. Because it was told 61 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: in confidence. I'll tell you off the air. Come on, 62 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you off the air. But 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: it is juicy stuff. Um. And so once they made 64 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: that Jordan Love pick last year, you knew the writing 65 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: was on the wall to say, either it's going to 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: be at the end of this past season or after 67 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: next season that Aaron Rodgers was done. And so they 68 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: made the pick. They already piste him off there. Then uh, 69 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers says, Okay, well, I'm I'm willing to look 70 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: past this, but you've got to extend my contract. You know, 71 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to know that I'm with you guys for 72 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: the long term. Well, we're not gonna extend your contract. 73 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: We're just gonna play it out so that we had 74 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: this out after next season. So you pissed him off 75 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: a second time. So then he says, all right, well, 76 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, let's get me some some wide receiver help, 77 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: which I've been asking for now for a couple of years. 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: The Packers did absolutely nothing in free agency. At what 79 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: point do you just decide, Look, we've already laid our bed, 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: like we made our bed, why don't we just cut 81 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: the cord and and and go on with it. And 82 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: when the reports came out that San Francisco made a 83 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: legitimate offer, and Denver, I've been told, went really really 84 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: hard after Aaron Rodgers and they decided, no, we're not 85 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: going to trade him, Like I don't understand how you 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: can get the ball rolling downhill and then decide, you know, 87 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: I was gonna slow it down, I'm not gonna stop 88 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: it because I note what we know he's gonna be 89 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: gone eventually, but just let it go at that point, like, like, 90 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: what do you have to gain by trying to to 91 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: keep a disgruntled Aaron Rodgers in your friendship? I don't understand. Well, 92 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: the big screw up. And he admitted this the gm UH. 93 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: He said that he the one thing he regrets is 94 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: communication about last year's draft pick, and he's like, oh, 95 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: it happened so fast. Looking back, there could have been 96 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: some communication things we did better. So basically what he's 97 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: saying is they went in they were like, oh we 98 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: could do this, that or the other. But man, we 99 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: love that quote if Jordan's love can fall to us, 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: And then Jordan's love was just sitting out there and 101 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: they're like, let's go get him and they didn't like 102 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: run up by Aaron Rodgers. I mean we called this. 103 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we weren't not here on the podcast, 104 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: but like anybody was talking sports last year, was like, 105 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing? NFC Title game and 106 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: you're drafting a quarterback. Oh and in the second round 107 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: they drafted a running back when they already had Aaron Jones. 108 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, they extended Aaron Jones. So both 109 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback pick and the running back pick looking very idiotic. Okay, 110 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: So then fast forward this year and Rogers wins the MVP. 111 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: They go to the NFC Title Game again, and as 112 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: you said, no help on the outside, I will say 113 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: I did like their first round pick, the kids Stokes 114 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: out of Georgia. Uh in my final mock draft for 115 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: Fox Sports, and I had a good mock draft, um 116 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: of successful, good numbers, and I said, I can see 117 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: them going cornerback. I projected the other Georgia cornerback, which 118 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: doesn't help me. But the logic was, if you can 119 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: remember the NFC Title game, Tom Brady would get to 120 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and was just picking on King. 121 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: He would see wherever he was lined up and he 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: would attack him. They needed help at corner, so they 123 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: go out and get this kid from Georgia. Fine pick, 124 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: but again I'm with Rob. All you gotta do is 125 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: trade Aaron Rodgers by And here's here's the thing. I 126 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: know it sounds easy. All you gotta do is trade 127 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Tell the Broncos you gotta back up the Brinks. 128 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: Give us everything we want, Bradley chup we um, we 129 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: want your next two first round picks. And um, I'm 130 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: sure you want something else because those first round picks 131 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers and Denver are gonna be high twenties. 132 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: But here's the kicker. Green Bay already has their quarterbacks, 133 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: so you don't need a high pick. If you don't 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: need a quarterback, obviously you'd rather have a high pick, 135 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: like a ten than five. But I think you know again, 136 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: if you look at the Rogers contract, after next year, 137 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: he has the out. So all you're doing is pissing 138 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: off you know, arguably the greatest player in franchise history. 139 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: And next year you know they're gonna get out from 140 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: under it. So like, what are you doing? You're delaying, 141 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: delaying the inevitable. You have to do the proverbial Rob 142 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: g ship or get off the pot, extend me, or 143 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: trade him. It's that easy. If you don't want to 144 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: extend him because you believe in Jordan's love, then fine, 145 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: let him go. Trade him, get him to Denver, you 146 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: get him out of the conference. You wouldn't see him 147 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: until the super Bowl. And let's be realistic, you ain't 148 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: making the super Bowl with Jordan's love next year anyway. Like, 149 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: we don't even know what you have in Jordan's love. 150 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the Packers know what they have in 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Jordan's love. So this Rogers drama was was fascinating. I 152 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: personally don't think it's over just because the GM said, hey, 153 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: we are definitely not trading him. I'm just absolutely stunned 154 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: that they could bungle something this bad to the point 155 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: that their franchise quarterback is the headline story complaining the 156 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: day of the NFL Draft. This is the centerpiece of 157 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: the NFL offseason. Rob free agency is awesome, It's fun. 158 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: The draft is the show. I am gonna guess ratings 159 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: for the draft with through the roof our numbers on 160 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: Fox and they would tell us like, holy cow, the 161 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: draft is five minutes away and we have nineties. Six 162 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: thousand people just on Twitter. That doesn't include YouTube, that 163 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: doesn't include Facebook or Fox Sports. I mean, the numbers 164 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: were staggering. The interest level of could Aaron Jones get 165 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: traded was through the roof. Ultimately, I do think he'll 166 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: get dealt I'm not buying this forty stuff. I know 167 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: he wants to like apparently go home to the Bay Area. 168 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know. You know, if if 169 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: you were going to consummate that trade, it had to 170 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: be before they pulled the trigger on trade lance. So 171 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: I do believe Denver is one team. I can't even 172 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: think of another team in the in the a f 173 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: C that makes sense right now. I mean, you know, 174 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: the Raiders could try something splashy, because that's what Gruden does. 175 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: But do you think Aaron Rodgers wants to move to Vegas? 176 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: My guess is no. I do want to put a 177 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: bowl on this. If John Elway were to somehow pull 178 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: off Aaron Rodgers on the heels of a few years 179 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: back getting Peyton Manning winning a Super Bowl, he gets 180 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: Rodgers and wins the Super Bowl. Folks, just remember John 181 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Elway could not draft a quarterback to save his life. 182 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: He cannot handicap quarterbacks coming out of college. He has 183 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: no clue when he is doing. There is a rich 184 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: history of he's botching picks left and right. It's awful, 185 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: But oh my gosh, he's a closer. He's able to 186 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: go and get Peyton Manning to come to Denver fifty 187 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, win a super Bowl, and then later get 188 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to come to Denver and maybe win a 189 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That would be incredible. I mean, John always 190 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: already one of the greatest quarterbacks ever two super Bowls, 191 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: and if he does this, I mean, this just adds 192 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: to his legend. Listen, Tom Brady is the greatest of 193 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: all time, but John always going to have a really 194 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: good case when if he's able to get Aaron Rodgers 195 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: to win another Super Bowl.

I don't want to just focus on 200 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. There were other picks um that I liked 201 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: or did not like, And you know, obviously there's not 202 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: a lot to say about Trevor Lawrence at one. I 203 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: will say Rob Jacksonville Jaguars to win the a f 204 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: C South is something I am going to be looking 205 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: very very closely at. Okay, the Texans arrows pointing down. 206 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: The Colts do not have a left tackle, and I 207 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: don't know where people are on Carson Wentz. Okay, I 208 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: like their pick of pay the pass rusher they needed 209 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: to replace Autry Um culture good. I trust their coach. 210 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: I like their schemes. I don't know about Wentz. I'm sorry. 211 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: And again, if you look and we talked about this, 212 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: I've written about it for Fox Sports. It's always been 213 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: a thing. When their left tackle Costanzo was out, their 214 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: splits were really hot and cold. And he's now retired 215 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: and they did not address it in the first round 216 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: of the draft. Their left starting left tackle right now 217 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: is a guy named Sam Tevy, and Chargers fans will 218 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: remember him as a turnstile on the offensive line. They 219 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: just moved on from him because he can't block anybody. Um. 220 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: That's a major issue for the Colts. I'm not a 221 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: believer in the Tennessee Titans. I did love their pick 222 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: in Caleb Farley, kid out of Virginia Tech. I had 223 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: wanted the Jets to get him. He goes to the 224 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: Titans at twenty two. He probably won't be ready initially 225 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: because of the back surgery, but that kids a player. 226 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: I just Derrick Henry three hundred and seventy eight carries 227 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: last year. He's led the NFL and carries two years 228 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: in a row. This is not Derrick Henry is not 229 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: going to play the entire season next year. I'm not 230 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: wishing injury on him, but if you look historically, injuries 231 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: tend to happen when you overuse running backs. Henry goes 232 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: down and they are screwed. Not to mention new offensive coordinator, 233 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: I'm I'm lukewarm at best on the Titans. Rob G. 234 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: Jacksonville adds Trevor Lawrence, who in the most incredible stat 235 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: of the draft that I didn't hear many people talk about. 236 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: Do you know he has never lost a regular season 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: football game in his life. He did not lose one 238 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: in high school. He lost a state cham being ship 239 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: senior year, the last game undefeated in the regular season 240 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: in high school in the state of Georgia. Goes to Clemson, 241 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: three year starter, never lost a regular season game, freshman year, 242 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,599 Speaker 1: undefeated win the title, second year, losing the title to 243 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: l s U title game. Third year losing the semifinal 244 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: to Ohio State. Rob Trevor Lawrence has never lost a 245 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: regular season football game in his life. Jags pick up 246 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: Lawrence and his running back et n And if you 247 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: just look at the depth chart, and I know I'm 248 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: getting geeked out here in April on the Jags, there 249 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: is some excitement and I'm not even gonna bring in 250 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: this Tim Tebow stuff. Maybe he'll play tight end. I 251 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: don't know. Urban Meyer and the rookie coach bump. Here's 252 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: this one for you. Last year, rookie coach Kevin Stefanski playoffs. 253 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: Year before that, rookie coach La Fleur playoffs, year before that, 254 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: rookie coach Frank Wright playoffs. You go back a decade. 255 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I think this has happened nine out of ten years, 256 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: a rookie coach stuns everybody gets his team to the playoffs. 257 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: That probably is urban Meyer. Next year, you can get 258 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: good odds on Jacksonville to win the division. Now, the 259 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: defense is very spotty. Okay, Lawrence, he's gonna have to 260 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: put up big numbers, but I think he can in 261 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: that offense. Um, did I just talk you into the 262 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: Jags rob g uh to win the a f C 263 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: South next year? Uh? No, When you were giving those 264 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: fun facts about Trevor Lawrence not losing a regular season game, 265 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Uh what since high school? Never? O? Never? My first 266 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: thought was he's about to lose a lot of regular 267 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: season games here in Jacksonville, So good luck with that. No. 268 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, actually I didn't mind the e T N. Pick. 269 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: I knew Trevor was number one, but where I didn't 270 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: understand it was I thought the one thing that Jacksonville 271 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: did have offensively was a running back, James Robinson, so 272 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: that would come. So that was a little bit shocking 273 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: to me, a little bit surprising. But I don't blame 274 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: them at all for getting somebody that Lawrence comed doable with. 275 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Because anytime you have a franchise quarterback in place, you 276 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: either need to ensure you get his left tackle, which 277 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't think there was a tackle available that would 278 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: have made sense. You get him a a wide receiver, 279 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, a guy that's gonna be his go to guy. 280 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna grow together. They already got good receivers. I 281 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: think in Jacksonville they got a good young group of guys. 282 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: So getting his running back, who some would argue was 283 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: the big reason for a lot of yack yards for 284 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence, a lot of r P O action. 285 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: Dump off the E t N for seven yards, he 286 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: turns into a sixty yard touchdown. So I think that 287 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: that was a good fit. That was one thing that 288 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of um developed throughout draft night was there was 289 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: a lot of pairings going on. I don't know if 290 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: you can notice that, but like the Miami Dolphins deciding that, hey, 291 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: we got two a quarterback, let's bring in uh Jalen 292 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: Waddle his former receiver. You know that that that happened 293 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: a few times where you saw the Joe Burrow and 294 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. So I thought that was interesting, and I 295 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: think that that's something that you'll see more of going forward. Uh, 296 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: just the way to make these guys more comfortable. So 297 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is just gonna spread people out. Lawrence E t N, 298 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: d J Shark who if you play fantasy, he put 299 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: up monster numbers last year. Marvin Jones coming over from Detroit, 300 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: leavisca chanlt can line up everywhere. I mean, they've got 301 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: some players I even like Colin Johnson, the big receiver 302 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: out of Texas. You mentioned James Robinson. They picked up 303 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde. Uh in the off season. Again, can the 304 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: line hold up? We'll see the interior line grades out well, 305 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: the outside tackles need less. So defense again, they couldn't 306 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: stop a nosebleed. Next year, Um, we'll see C. J. 307 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: Henderson showed well as a rookie. Shaquille Griffin, We'll see. 308 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: I was a little surprised that Seattle cut them loose. Um, 309 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking. I've talked to myself into Jacksonville their season 310 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: win total over and winning the division. Um, we don't 311 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: need to do anything on Zach Wilson and the Jets. 312 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: I'll just quickly say, and we're not going through every pick. Uh, sorry, 313 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: we're not going through all thirty two picks. I didn't well, 314 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: I liked the pick of Vera Tucker, the USC offensive lineman. 315 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: Rob I didn't like trading up. They gave up two 316 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: thirds for a fourth and they moved up, uh like 317 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: nine spots to get a freaking guard. Like a guard. Now, 318 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: I know they're set up on the left side now 319 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: with Beckton and a V A VT, which is what 320 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: he's being called alja Vera Tucker. So the Jets left 321 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: side is set for Zach Wilson. Remember they never did 322 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: that for Sam Donald, you know. So Wilson's gonna come 323 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: in two young cornerstones on the left side. That's good. 324 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: But trading up for a team that has a ship 325 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: ton of needs, I didn't love it. And if you looked, 326 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: they were picking at twenty three. And I even I 327 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: said this during the Fox telecast. I was like, look 328 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: at the teams at fifteen. The Patriots, they were not 329 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: taking a guard. Arizona was not taking a guard. The Veggers. 330 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: They Raiders took an offensive lineman and they always do 331 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: dumb things. Sorry, Rob g, I'll let you defend them 332 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: in a minute. They took leatherwood. I very puzzling. Uh. 333 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: And then the Dolphins go defense, Washington defense, Giants go 334 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: receiver defense defense, and at the Jets possibly could have 335 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: stayed put and gotten their guy. So I didn't love that, 336 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna I'm not going in on Joe Douglas. 337 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: Overall a big win. Um before we hit the Niners, 338 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: why don't you quickly tell me what you think of 339 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders getting Alex Leatherwood in the fold. Well it 340 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: was a rough uh, it was a rough selection. And 341 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: now as you know I was doing I was doing 342 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: a yeah exactly, an NFL Draft podcast as well for 343 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio with Kevin Burke, Cahart, LaVar Aarrington, Bucky 344 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: Brooks and Jake Lazer. And you know, ja, he gets 345 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: all the picks several minutes before it's coming on, right, 346 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: and the where we're sitting in the studio, he's facing 347 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: me and I'm in the production studio and the Raiders 348 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: you're coming up. He looked down at his phone and 349 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: he just makes like this stink face, like like I 350 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: don't know about that one. And I'm like, oh, that's 351 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: a Raiders guy. I can already tell. So then we'll 352 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: start going into the draft, and you know, it's illegal 353 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: for him to tip the picks, but he'll do everything 354 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: he can to tip the pick. Yeah, he does. Like 355 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: the Woods Newski exactly. They are looking closely at Alex 356 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: Leatherwood exactly. So then we we get the pick that 357 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: comes out and it gets panned across the room and 358 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: and Jay's like, well, you know that's what the Raiders 359 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: mo is Undergrouden is they want to get brand name 360 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: collegiate players, you know, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama. Those are 361 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: the kind of guys that they want. And I was, 362 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I wasn't even upset because I 363 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: kind of figured that's how it was gonna go. It 364 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: was gonna be something stupid like that. I will say 365 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: this though, is that um our talent booker for Fox 366 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio is related to somebody in the Raiders front office. 367 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: And you could say her name Lee Mayock, so Mike 368 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: Mayock's daughter. And I was just like, I'm it's not 369 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: even gonna text Lee right I'm gonna ask for help 370 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: right now. That's how upset I am because I don't 371 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: even want to see a Mayok in my phone at 372 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: this point. It's incredible. So Gruden in seventeen Ohio State 373 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: eighteen u c l A twenty nineteen, he went Clemson, Alabama, 374 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Mississippi State, which is SEC Clemson, and in Alabama, Ohio 375 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: State SEC SEC, Clemson, Clemson. Like it's embarrassing. You know, 376 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: I feel bad for Mayok because you know this is 377 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: all Gruden. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And I actually, as 378 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: one of my buddies are one of the other guys 379 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: a Fox with radio. He was venting about it on Twitter, 380 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: and I responded with the jeff of Frank Callendo is Gruden, 381 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: and he said, look, man, leather and wood are both 382 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: tough materials. You gotta have toughs on the offensive line, 383 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: so it makes sense to get leatherwood. That's how I 384 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: imagine it in my head with John Gruden. All right, 385 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: let's get on and again we're not going through every pick, 386 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: but we need to discuss this forty nine or thing 387 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: at three. So earlier this week, did I think Rob 388 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: we dedicate an entire pod too? Should Tray Lance be 389 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: the guy? Correct? Okay? And then it came out that 390 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: like Cale Shanahan likes Mac Jones, and Adam Schefter reported 391 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: it was gonna be mac Jones rap aport. I mean, 392 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: almost everybody was reporting it was gonna be mac Jones. 393 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: And I wonder what went down because Trey Lance was 394 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: the pick, and if you looked at the gambling odds Thursday, 395 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: Lance all of a sudden was favored. So something, some 396 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: word got out somewhere. Now, according to trade, Lance, he 397 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: did not know until his phone rang if he was 398 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: going to be the guy. I feel like something went 399 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: down between Lynch and Shanahan, and I don't think it's 400 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: necessarily a good thing, because do you do you really 401 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: believe they traded up for Tray Lance to give up 402 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: to one. Are you asking me or I'm asking you? 403 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm perplexed. I was what we did 404 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: the pod and something's just not adding up here. We oh, 405 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: we are sorry. One more thing. All we heard was um, 406 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: oh yeah, Shanahan. Remember Kirk Cousins over r G three. 407 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: He loved Kirk Cousins. Oh yeah, Like it was almost 408 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: not a race thing. Some idiots tried to make it 409 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 1: a race thing, remember, and it wasn't. And now, oh 410 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: wait a minute, he took Trey Lance, who is African American, 411 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: so we can toss the race nonsense out. That being said, 412 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: I am still extremely perplexed here. Well, I will say this. 413 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: Before our draft show started on Fox Sports Radio and 414 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Jake Glazer walks into the room. The first thing he 415 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: says is everybody's mocks draft is going to be busted. 416 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: And then we asked why. I says, well, Mac Jones 417 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: is not going number three. I can tell you that 418 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: right now. And so we talked about a little bit 419 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: off the air. I can't tell you whether or not 420 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: the decision had already been made weeks in advance when 421 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: they made the trade, or if, like you're suggesting, maybe 422 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: they made it on Friday. But Jay made it seem 423 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: like they had known for a while now a lot 424 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: of whether it was twelve hours, twelve days, and that 425 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: it was going to be. You know, Schefter doesn't throw 426 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: shut up against the wall and hope it sticks. That 427 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: is not his reputation. That's not how he rolls. He's 428 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: very by the book, and you know that's what this. 429 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: Once you get to ESPN, you can't just be throwing 430 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: crap against the wall. So I want to know where 431 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: was all that coming from? Remember, uh Rappaport said Michael 432 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: Lombardi said Mac Jones, like everybody said Mac. And then 433 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: it was like, oh well maybe tray Lance. You know, 434 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: there's been some discent, Like I just put it out there. 435 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: I think something's going on in San Franz and I don't. 436 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of faith in in tray 437 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: Lance being ready anytime soon. And I wonder if Jimmy 438 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: G's look at this and saying, wait is it? They 439 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: were saying that like Matt Jones is processing was so 440 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: fast and all this stuff. So what does Trey Lance do? 441 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: Is he surely beating me out? Well, I mean you 442 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: would assume he will. We'll see he's definitely not being 443 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: him out this year. I I kind of rooting for chaos. 444 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: You know, that's what makes the podcast go round. So 445 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: give me san Fran making a run to the NFC 446 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: title game and then dumping their quarterback. Let me see 447 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: them do that. Um, what happened at for uh? Kyle Pitts. 448 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: We knew that was happening. Jamaar Chase, we knew that 449 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: was happening. So before this is the funny one. As 450 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: we're getting ready to the Fox uh Digital show. Um, 451 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm in this room with Jordan Palmer. Do you know him? 452 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: Rob at all on the pod? Super super cool guy. 453 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: We had him on the pod. We gotta get him back. 454 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: He's good. Ok So he uh? I was like, so 455 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: do you have any locks? He's like, yeah, Jamaar Chase 456 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: is going to going to Cincinnati. That's a done deal. 457 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: It's been done for a little while. And I was like, Okay, 458 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: I went and looked. You know, the odds were not 459 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: It's like minus three D, so I didn't put too 460 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: much on it, but um, I mean, the limits are low. 461 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: But it's like, hold up, hold up. He starts talking 462 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: about these quarterbacks and he's not keen on fields, and 463 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: he starts saying why, and I'm not gonna out him. 464 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: I'll have him come back on the pot and talk 465 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: about it. Um, and I'll just say this once we 466 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: get to the MOK and Rob, don't try to contain 467 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: your excitement. I'm doing it Sunday for Fox Sports. He 468 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: gave me some names at quarterback. I'm telling you you're 469 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: gonna be blown away. I tried to sell him on 470 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: Key Down Slovis of usc Keaton Slovis, and he's like, 471 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: there's some guys better than him, and I mentioned a 472 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: couple and it was obvious. But his number one guy 473 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: who he thinks he's a lock to go number one 474 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: next year, J T. Daniels from Georgia. I didn't totally 475 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: see it, but you know, again, this is a COVID year. 476 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: He did Daniel finished wrong. But he's saying, I mean, 477 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: he's comparing Daniels to the Joe Burrow leap that Burrow 478 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: made at um at l s U. Now the problem 479 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: is George's best receiver. This kid Pickens, who's top ten 480 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: talent towards a c L. So it doesn't look like 481 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna play this year. Um, but we'll see what 482 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: happens to Georgia. I've gone off topic at any rate. 483 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: Jamaar chasays a lot to sin see. I didn't like 484 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: Jillen wattle Man. I like good player, obviously super talented, 485 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: but six not a huge fan. Panas sue well to 486 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: the Lions. Lions are the worst team in the league. 487 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty clear. Houston will be right there 488 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: with them. Denver gets Patrick certain we did some Denver 489 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: stuff earlier. This Denver defense is pretty filthy, guys. They've 490 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: got some nasty players. For vic Fngeo had a quarterback. 491 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: Had a quarterback? UM called the Green Bay just called 492 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: Green Bancy. Happen Eagles trade up for DeVonta Smith. I 493 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in Philly, but I don't 494 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: I don't like it. Um. Now, Jalen Hurts was at 495 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: Alabama with Davonta Smith. Is that on another one of 496 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: your pairings? Ex Um, you're drafting small wide receivers in 497 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: the first round. Back to back years. I don't. I 498 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: don't know what the Eagles are doing. I don't and 499 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: then comes a big one, Justin Fields to Chicago. Now 500 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: we're gonna do a minute on this. Um. I just 501 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: want to rewind to March, and remember the Bears went 502 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: into this offseason. Everybody knew they lucked into the playoffs 503 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: with Drew Bisky, and their GM goes, we're going big 504 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: game hunting. We got a big off season ahead, and 505 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: next thing you know, there's just Russell Wilson chatter. Remember 506 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson puts the Bears on one of his team's 507 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: list and everybody gets all excited, and you know, it 508 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: fizzled out, and then they're like, all right, we're gonna 509 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: downshift to Ryan Fitzpatrick. And then didn't get Ryan Fitzpatrick, 510 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: and okay, we're gonna settle on Andy Dalton and the Bears. 511 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: Social media put out a picture, you know, Andy Dalton 512 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,239 Speaker 1: QB one and I think we made fun of it here, 513 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: right Rob we might have. I mean it's the red 514 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: rifle Andy Dalton UM. And now Justin Fields they trade 515 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: up to get him, and it's like, okay, so you've 516 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: got Nick Foles. Andy Dalton and Justin Fields. Did you 517 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: see the quote the GM said after the draft rob 518 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: did he say something along the lines of Andy Daltons 519 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: our quarterback. Yes, he said Andy Toltons are number one 520 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: quarterback and people are laughing. I just want to remind 521 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: you guys, Uh, Baker Mayfield did not start game one 522 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: as a rookie. H Lamar Jackson did not start game 523 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: one as a rookie. You could go back like the 524 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 1: last five years, Jared Goff did not start game one 525 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: as a rookie. Like there is a bit of a 526 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: learning curve. Uh. Justin Fields actually is you know, taking 527 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: a downgrade in his offense. Okay, he's going from Ohio State. 528 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: They got five star guys, Wilson um Olave, superstars all 529 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: over that Ohio State offense. He's down shifting to Alan 530 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: Robinson and a bunch of dudes. I think Rob g 531 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: is like the fifth string receiver for the Bears. Like 532 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: that's how bleak it is. Uh. In all seriousties, somebody 533 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: named Mooney, who had like a good five game stretch 534 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: is considered like the number two receiver. Like I don't 535 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: wish that on fields. Now here's the question, Rob did 536 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: pace and uh, the coach whose name escapes did naggy 537 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: that's right? Did they extend their careers in Chicago by 538 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: a year? Can they say, hey, hey, let's hold Fields 539 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: for the first half, have him come in as a 540 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: savior the second half of the season, and we'll say, hey, hey, hey, hey, 541 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: we got something here, give us and give us an extension. 542 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: I wonder if they did that. I think they might have. 543 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. And I think just 544 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, put a bow on all of this, 545 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: I think the Aaron add Your situation played a role 546 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: in their decision. I think that they were completely content 547 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: with Addie Dalton and draft next season, whether it's J. C. 548 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: Daniels supposedly or you know, Spencer Rather somebody like that. 549 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: But when Aaron Rodgers looking like he's won foot out 550 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: the door in Green Bay, suddenly that division is wide open. 551 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: And if you can get a young, explosive quarterback with 552 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: justin Fields, definitely is you give him half the season, 553 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: maybe the whole season, to to learn. And if Aaron 554 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers is out of town, then you suddenly have the 555 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: most talented quarterback in that division by a long shot. Yeah, 556 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: I I would lean Vikings over the Bears, not convincingly, 557 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: so I think the Vikings bounced back next year. I 558 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: thought they had a decent offseason. Um, and I think 559 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: that if Rogers is gone, I think the Vikings have 560 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: the best QB in the division. Lions are a dumpster fire. 561 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: The Bears will see. Um, I'm happy for Justin Fields. 562 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: You know, listen, you could have landed in worse spots. 563 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,959 Speaker 1: You know, if you went to Detroit, you would be 564 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: just like kicking rocks right now. Um, Chicago is a 565 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: town where, man, if you deliver, you're a freaking rock star. 566 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: So I kind of like that pick. I did not 567 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: like Michael Parsons to Dallas. I mean, how many linebackers 568 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 1: do they need? You know, they got the kid Vander Esh, 569 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: they got Jalen Smith. They take Keyan O'Neil in free 570 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: agency and they decided we're gonna make him a linebacker, 571 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: and then you draft Michael Parsons, Like, what are you doing? 572 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: This is just asinine, idiotic. They have no offensive line 573 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: pass rushes. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk 574 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: lineup in the nation.

Now, 577 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend time on this, but Gavin 578 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: who produced my Saturday show, has to love Ray Shawn 579 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: Slater to the Chargers. That is a home run. You 580 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: get a left tackle. If you guys, go on YouTube 581 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: and look it up Ray Shaw Slater versus Chase Young. 582 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: What Chase Young was at All State, Slater did better 583 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: than him. I believe in any tackle during Chase Young's career. 584 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: Now it's one game, but you now have your left 585 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: tackle in front of Justin Herbert. And if the Broncos 586 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: don't get Aaron Rodgers, I think the Chargers the second 587 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: best team in that division. Would you agree? And I 588 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: know you like the Raiders, but be realistic. I think 589 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: that I've said even before they made that pick, which 590 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: I think it was a great pick, that the Chargers 591 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: top to bottom roster is the most talented in that division, 592 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: even more so within the Chiefs. I think that their 593 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: roster is absolutely loaded. They just for whatever reason, kept 594 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: having brain farts in the end of games. You know, 595 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: and waitful, you just say the Chargers have a better 596 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: roster than the Yes there look at their rosters top 597 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: to bottom and just look at the Pro Bowlers or 598 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: All Pros or you know potential kind of guys that 599 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: they have. I mean, Derwin James hasn't even played in 600 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: two years and he might be the best defender all 601 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: of football. Oh, let's co Derwin James is awesome. How 602 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 1: many injuries is this guy? That's the problem? Is your 603 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: hottest take Chargers. This is the hottest since you said 604 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: the Lakers would go like one in fifteen whatever during 605 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: that stretch. It was like three days later You're like, 606 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: I lost that bed, damnit. Um. Yeah, listen, it's the Chargers. 607 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got talent, that's the thing. Just the 608 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: town mord than the Chiefs. The Chiefs got Mahomes, Kelsey, 609 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Chris Jones that they They're not loaded 610 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: anywhere really, els really, the Chargers have talent everywhere. They 611 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: just for whatever reason, they always find ways to blow 612 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: it at the end of games or maybe I don't know, 613 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: if it's coaching and now they've got a new coaching 614 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: things over, but their their roster is always stacked. Okay, 615 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: so let's quickly talk about Mac Jones. One of the 616 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: funniest pictures I posted on my Instagram stories dude, Mac 617 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: Jones after they won one of the championships. It wasn't 618 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: it could not have been this one. Um, I think 619 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: it was like three years ago or whatever. He has 620 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: a cigar in his mouth and he's shirtless. Guys, have 621 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: you seen the picture? Rob? I have, Dude, it's a 622 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: great picture. What the hell? He's a quarterback and somebody 623 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: of course put this next to Cam Newton flexing and 624 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, six pack galore looking just shredded and ripped, 625 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: and they're like, what a quarterback room in New England? 626 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: My big question, Rob, is mac Jones anything like Cam Newton, 627 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: even in style, in anything? Because Cam did a lot 628 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: of r p O s. I saw a crazy stat 629 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: that I retweeted from Pro Football Focus. Um Designed runched 630 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: rushing yards last year in college or in their college 631 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: football career. Mac Jones had zero, not one Design rushing yard. 632 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: How is he going to run the same offense as 633 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: Cam Newton? What am I missing? You're gonna have two 634 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: different offenses because what Cam does, and then you bring 635 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: in Mac Jones. He's not running r pos and holding 636 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: the football. He's just not So what am I missing? Well, 637 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna run the Patriots offense. They never even really 638 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: fully committed to the Cam Newton offense last year. They 639 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: did in the very beginning. Then he got COVID and 640 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 1: they kind of tried to make him a toned down 641 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: version of what he really is. But I think I'll 642 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: give you this. That a week and a half ago. 643 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 1: So we're comparing the Justin Fields Mac Jones um college 644 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: stats and Matt Jones actually got almost a quarter of 645 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: his passing yards of r p os. He just never 646 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: ran the ball. He never ran at It's not a 647 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: threat to run, but they would run an RPO and 648 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: he would just throw it because all his guys are 649 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: torching the ship out of bad SEC defenses. Good luck 650 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: with that in the NFL like that, I mean, we'll see. Uh, 651 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm a little surprised. That being said, Um, 652 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he took him a little scary because 653 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: Belichick knows Saban well, and the fact that Belichick didn't 654 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: go big game hunting for Tuah and he had Mac 655 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 1: fall to him feel has to feel like a win 656 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: if you're the Patriots. Um. Fun note, Patriots quarterback room 657 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: is Alabama's Mac Jones, Auburn Cam Newton and the other 658 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: quarterback also happens to be from Auburn, so that they 659 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: have three quarterbacks from the SEC. The other quarterback's name 660 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: which is escaping a Jarrett Stidham Auburn UM, so they 661 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: have Auburn Alabama Auburn in the Patriots quarterback room, Bill 662 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: Belichick going full sec. UM. So the second half of 663 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: the first round not that interesting. I did like the 664 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,959 Speaker 1: Xavan Collins get by Arizona. They back to back years. 665 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 1: Get Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins to like Swiss army 666 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: knife linebackers. You can line them up in the box. 667 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: They can cover tight ends. Isaiah Simmons can cover wide receivers. Um. 668 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: I like Arizona. I'm telling you, rob. I saw a 669 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: stat that they added five free agents who are like 670 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: veterans over the age of thirty. And you might say, oh, 671 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: they're over the hill, like A. J. Green and J. J. 672 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: Watt and the kid Hudson the Raiders center. Um, but 673 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: they're professionals and Arizona was just young and made a 674 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: lot of dumb mistakes last year. I like Arizona. UM. 675 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: Other picks I did not like. I didn't like Darius 676 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,280 Speaker 1: Tony to the Giants, like, what the hell are you doing? Gettleman. 677 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 1: You got Gola Day, you got Sterling Shepherd, you got 678 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, you got Kyle Rudolph, Evan Ingram, se Kwan Barkley. 679 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: That's what you add another weapon. I guess the pressures 680 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: on Danny Dimes, right, Rob, Like, if Danny Dimes doesn't deliver, 681 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs, You're getting a new quarterback. So 682 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: it's win win, Like, you get to the playoffs, awesome, 683 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: you failed miserably, you get a new quarterback. You know. 684 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: I I actually think they win the NFC East next year. 685 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Who's winning it? Don't tell me Dallas? Okay, 686 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: so Dallas has a really good offense, ship for defense. 687 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: Washington has ship for offense, amazing defense. What do the 688 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: Giants have? Really good defense and the potential for a 689 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: good offense if Danny don shows up, I mean, all 690 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: the players arounded are skills like se Kwon Barkley, Golladay. 691 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: Danny Dns is terrible, he's kind of he's not good. Um, 692 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: and then who I like to fairly pick to the 693 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: Titans already said that Nazi Harris to Pittsburgh kind of 694 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: like that I don't like Pittsburgh next year. Um Rashad 695 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: Bateman to Baltimore. This is another one. So Rob Lamar 696 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: Jackson last three playoff games, one touchdown, four interceptions. He 697 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: we saw Markey's Hollywood Brown remember last year in the 698 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: playoffs complaining or regular season, like I can't do anything 699 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 1: without the ball or some ship. Um so they're like, Okay, 700 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: let's add Sammy Watkins in free agency and let's draft 701 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: for Shot Bateman in the first round. I h I 702 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: know they're talking about paying Lamar forty mill and salary 703 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: caps gonna go up in two or three years. Anyway, 704 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: who cares? Rob, Let's be real like this is another 705 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: Like no excuses Lamar, Like you need to deliver for 706 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: us in the playoffs. Um let's see what he does 707 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: without his right tackle. Um Ah. I like Bateman, but 708 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: like they have three receivers, none of them are number ones. 709 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I think you would agree. Like Bateman, 710 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, Sammy Watkins, who's getting up there in age, 711 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't think any of them were number one. So 712 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 1: did they get that much better? It's hard to say 713 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: they got much better at all. I mean, how they 714 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: were able to get one of the free agent that 715 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: they went for Juju Smith. I know they went after 716 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, but both guys decided they would take less 717 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: money to go elsewhere, which I think is a bad 718 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 1: look if you're Lamar Jackson. And UM actually like Rashan 719 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: Bateman a lot. I think he would have been a 720 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: great player in a lot of other situations. I just 721 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: don't think that Baltimore is the offense is really gonna 722 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: showcase his skills, so it's gonna be tough. Baltimore's other pick, 723 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: I think is a potential home run. Jason oh Way, 724 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: the edge rusher at a Penn State famously zero sacks. Uh, 725 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: you know last year, the COVID year, but they needed 726 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: a pass rusher. They lost Jude On. They now will 727 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: go on the defensive line, Derek Wolfe, who's pretty good, 728 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: Klais Campbell, who's awesome, Brandon Williams, and then I'm coming 729 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: off the edge. They're gonna have Jason Away, who is 730 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's a freak, and Um, the potential 731 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: is there. Um, defensive backs are starting to get up 732 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: there in age. Jimmy Smith is getting old Humphreys elite. 733 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: Peter's still a bit of a head case. Um, this 734 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: is a good Ravens team. They're probably the third fourth 735 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: best team in the a f C. I want to 736 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: wrap up the pod with a team that I am 737 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: irrationally bullish on, and I don't think you have any 738 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: idea who it is. It's the Cleveland Browns. Can I 739 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: say I kind of love them this year? Yeah? Love 740 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: l O V. Now I did love them last year. 741 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: I put one of my better hits for Fox. I 742 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: put out Betty over on the Browns bet to go 743 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Got a lot of accolades for that. 744 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna it's coming to come down to Baker Mayfield, 745 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 1: which is not a surprise. And I was talking to 746 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer, former NFL quarterback, and his big thing is 747 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: how do guys handle adversity? So obviously I love to 748 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: bring up Carson Wentz and he goes, I'm curious what 749 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: happens with Baker. Baker in college basically was told like, 750 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: you're not our guy, and he was like, well, f you, 751 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna prove you wrong. And he goes out and 752 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: proves them wrong, right Texas Tech. And uh then when 753 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: he got like, no offers been out of high school. 754 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: It proves everybody wrong. So he gets to the league. 755 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: He has that good first year filling in. I think 756 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: he set the record for quarterback touchdown passes. What did 757 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: he do? How did he handle that adversity when it 758 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: was positive? He went out and led the league in 759 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: commercials and cratered it was awful. Well, what happens in 760 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: his third year? Baker Mayfield rebounds with the new coach 761 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: and was pretty damn good. And I know they handed 762 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: off a lot. How does Baker coming off a good 763 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: season handle that? Is it going to go to his head? 764 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: He's getting Odell Beckam back? How is that gonna work out? 765 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: We know they have Chubb and huntback. The offensive line 766 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: is fantastic. Willis was a home run left tackle for 767 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: out of Alabama Tellers. The probably the best guard in 768 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,439 Speaker 1: the league. Jack Conklin's on the right side. Like their 769 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: offensive line is loaded, And what's really the reason to 770 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: get excited about the Browns? And yeah, I might be 771 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: looking at plus I think it's get to the super Bowl, 772 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: maybe plus eleven two to win the Super Bowl. Their 773 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: secondary rob It's almost as if they looked at the 774 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: Chiefs and said that's the best team in the a 775 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: f C. They've been to three straight ANFC title games. 776 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: We need cornerbacks who can hang with them. So in 777 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: free agency they got two guys from the Rams, Troy 778 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: Hill and then the safety John Johnson Denzel Ward looks 779 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 1: like a home run pick. Uh, fantastic left corner. Remember 780 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: the leftover draft pick Greedy Williams. Another SEC guy, Grant Delpit, 781 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: safety out of l s U. He was hurt. And 782 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: then they go up and get Newsome out of Northwestern. 783 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: You are now looking at a secondary with seven pretty 784 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: damn good players. Now they're all very young, and we'll 785 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,240 Speaker 1: see I haven't even mentioned the addition to Clowney, Rob 786 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: Brown's over Brown's maybe to win the division. Brown's maybe 787 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl. Have I lost my mind? 788 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: Uh No, because you're not the first person I've heard 789 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: to say that. But I think I think that maybe 790 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: not the super Bowl, but then being a very very 791 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: good team next season. But I think you hit the 792 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: nail right on the head that it's gonna come down 793 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield and whether or not when you get 794 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: into these games against Kansas City. You know, we saw 795 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: it a little bit last season and I think it 796 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: was an epic Thursday night game against Baltimore when it's like, hey, 797 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 1: we need you to score. We can't run the ball 798 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: and play keep away all game. We need you to 799 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: put it on your right shoulder and get us into 800 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: the end zone repeatedly. And Baker, for whatever reason, only 801 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: seem to do that when Odell Beckham was not on 802 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: the field. When Odell was on the field, he would 803 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: kind of forcing the ball a lot, and he'd throw 804 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 1: it into a really bad coverage and a lot of turnovers. 805 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: And and so if Baker can take the next step 806 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 1: in his progression and become not even just a great quarterback, 807 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: but just you know, an above average order back, then 808 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: they should be really really good. Because that roster is loaded. 809 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: It's just gonna depend on him. So today is Round 810 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: is today, Round two and three, I think tonight, um, 811 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: and then obviously Saturday is the rest of the draft. 812 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 1: I will mostly be glued to it. Um. Obviously I 813 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 1: have my Saturday show coming up. I will have my 814 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: two first round mock draft for you to laugh at 815 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday.
