1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast predicted this would happen. We 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. 3 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hands. It's coming to you from 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: a country filled with heroes, different time zones. Greg Rosenthal 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: from California, Ricky Hollywood, and New Hampshire. What's up, lady 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Yeah, he was up. This is the ultra 7 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: rare Thursday night show. You know, a couple of things 8 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: we we had toyed with the idea of doing a 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: third show this week, but there were some complications. I mean, 10 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: we were gonna do our network show, then they got 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: preempted because NFL Network pulled programming for the Juneteenth celebration 12 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: on Friday. Uh, and then we were thinking, oh, maybe 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: we'll do a third podcast this week to give some 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: content to our fans if we're not gonna do an 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: at work show. And then but again, juneteent Juneteenth, so 16 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: we can't do it Friday. But some news popped up 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: on Thursday today, and Greg, it just felt like the 18 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: right thing to do rather than let this news just 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: get stale through Friday and then through the weekend. So 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: we're gonna hit on a few things going on in 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: the NFL world that are somewhat important to very important 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: varying levels.

All right, 51 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: So Rickie's here, she's alive. She's gonna stay out of 52 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: the sun. And how you feel alive? Dan, I mean, 53 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: that's the reason we're here is and now, and I'm 54 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: the same way like you know, we have all these 55 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: days between podcasts. It's nice to think about, Okay, we 56 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: have time off with our families, but the only time 57 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: we really feel alive is when after that record buttonets. 58 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I feel that a ten percent, And especially 59 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: when the big news story is about my favorite player 60 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: wanting to get my favorite best player on my team, 61 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: wanted to get the hell out of town. But that's 62 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: that's the world we live in. So before we dive 63 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: into this a t N podcast News after Dark audition. Uh, 64 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: let's throw it officially to the news sector with a 65 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: nice drop from Ricky Hollywood. Oh, I guess they must 66 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: have cut a real here too. More innocent times for 67 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, the great safety of the New York Jets. 68 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: Who a couple of years back, that was him being 69 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: locked out of the Jets facility and it was all 70 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: fun and games. But the fun and games are over, um. 71 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: ESPNS Adam Schefter reports that Adams wants a trade. He 72 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: wants out of New York. He's unhappy with the status 73 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: and tenor of the contract extension talks with the Jets, 74 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: doesn't believe they are being upfront with them. Believes the 75 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: Jets are dragging their feet. Uh so he wants out. Actually, 76 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: his ESPNS rich some meuni with the original report. He's 77 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: informed the team he wants to be traded. Chef there 78 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: later followed up that Adams would welcome a trade to 79 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: seven teams, including the Ravens, Cowboys, Texans, to Eagles, forty 80 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Niners and Seahawks. Greg while you left, well, just the 81 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: shot in the you know, in the face of the Patriots. 82 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: At this point, they can't even get on this list 83 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: of like would be contenders. I assume that's I assume 84 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: that's the thinking thinking that he have. I like how 85 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: these stories now evolved because I think his his Instagram 86 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: response to a fan came first and it was like, 87 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: who does Jamal wat Adams want to be traded? And 88 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: then you know, within hours there's a national report. Yes, 89 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: indeed he's he's officially asked for it. Yeah, and we've 90 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: talked about it on this show. That he is in 91 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: the third year or he's entering the third year. Correct, Yes, 92 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: he was a two thousand and seventeen first round pick. 93 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: So he's entering the fourth year of his UM rookie 94 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: contract with the Jets, which means the Jets have contract 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: control over him this year next year, when they would 96 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: inevitably if they didn't do a new deal, pick up 97 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: the fifth year option, and then beyond that, even if 98 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: they wanted to keep him around, it did not want 99 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: to extend him with a longer deal that would be 100 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: three years of team control the Jets have. Jamal Adams 101 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: wants nothing to do with that UM and believes his 102 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: status is one of the best safeties and arguably the 103 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: best safety in football means he gets to rook rip 104 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: up his rookie contract. And I don't think Greg, this 105 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: is happening. And tell me if you agree. If Christian 106 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: McCaffrey doesn't get the heel from the Panthers, I don't 107 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: think Adams would feel as emboldened. Put it that way, 108 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: if there wasn't some evidence of someone from his draft 109 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: class that had outperformed his contract already getting paid. I 110 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: wonder if that is in play here? What do you 111 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: think about that? Yeah? He and he mentioned in that 112 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Instagram response to just some Jets fan who got, you know, 113 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: put on blast poor Jonathan Abrons out there, same name 114 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: as the Raaders safety. Yeah, he he used you know, 115 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: he used McCaffrey as an example. He used Mahomes, you know, 116 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: having his negotiations as an example. And Adams puts himself 117 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: in that class and he should. And this kind of 118 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: happens every year with guys, you know, on the rookie 119 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: deal entering the fourth year, that's the time that the 120 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: really great ones get paid. So that's that's not out 121 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: of ordinary. What is out of ordinary is that we're 122 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: going through a pandemic right now, and there is some 123 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: thought that contracts are not being done in part because 124 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: the NFL brass wants to see what what shakes out here, 125 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: because yeah, McCaffrey got his money. But that that's been 126 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: about it. There. There's been almost no um long term 127 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: deal signed for for young veteran players, certainly not from 128 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: from that draft class done, you know, since the big 129 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: free agency push, and I think that is a factor 130 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: in Adams is frustrated that he he believes the Jets 131 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: are maybe hiding behind that. He mentioned that in the 132 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: post too. But I also think it's like this, this 133 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: is what's going to happen if you're a third year 134 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: safety looking for huge money, Like it would be shocking 135 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: if that deal was done before, you know, the the 136 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: week before training camp. I mean, that's just what happens. 137 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: It's like deadlines for actions is the cliche. And it's 138 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: like it's not surprising that the Jets are dragging their 139 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: feet a little bit in the middle of June. I'm 140 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: not gonna call a Jet for this. Put it that way. Yeah, 141 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: if you, if you'd allow me here, Greg, I just 142 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: to get my thoughts out there on this because I 143 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: love I love Jamal Adams, I love the guy. I 144 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: love the way he plays. I love the way he 145 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: carries himself. I love the passion on and off the field. 146 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: He's obviously, you know, a foundational piece for them. I 147 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: love him, but I don't. I just I don't like 148 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: how he's handling his business here, and I think he's 149 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: got this twisted and it's poisoning the well. I as 150 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: a Jets fan of a certain age, I remember a 151 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: similar type situation happening with Keyshawn Johnson once upon a time, 152 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: a great player, maybe not at the highest premium position, 153 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: but he wanted to get paid and didn't and ended 154 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: up getting to the point where the Jets had to 155 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: make a move and they traded Keishan when he was 156 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: in his prime too. And I think this all started 157 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: when the Jets answered the phone. And there are I 158 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: guess disputing reports in this, but the phone. There was 159 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: a phone call jug Joe Douglas. I guess had a 160 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: chance to tell the Cowboys last season that Jamal Adams 161 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: is totally off limits, but instead he listened to what 162 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys had to say, and nothing ever came of. 163 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like there was anything close to a 164 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: deal happening, And you could say Oh, bad business by 165 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: the Jets to ever pick up the phone there, same 166 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: old Jets. What a joke. But I I don't see 167 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: anything wrong with listening to an offer, having a dialogue. 168 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: I think Joe Douglas seems like a smart guy that 169 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: knows how this game works. And I think Adams is 170 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: naive to be honest to the realities of the sport 171 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: in terms of how he thinks he should be viewed. 172 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a strong safety, and he's kind of 173 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: putting himself in the same place as Patrick Mahomes a 174 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: guy when he talks about Mahomes, and I know McCaffrey 175 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: as well, who's off to a record breaking start to 176 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: his career. And I just think safety and safety when 177 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: you look at is not a premium position. It will 178 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: never carry the same value or status as a quarterback 179 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: or a cornerback, or a left tackle or dominant edge rusher. 180 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: And I don't want to like denigrate what Adams is 181 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: or what he means or what he can be, UH, 182 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: but I just think given the global pandemic, given the 183 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: contract control that the Jets have, UH, and the pandemic, 184 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: like you said, it could be a salary cap big 185 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: time issue for the Jets. If they extend him to 186 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: a big deal, they could put himself in a situation. 187 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: Why would they Jets ever do that? Why would they 188 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: ever put themselves in that situation? In this time of uncertainty. 189 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: And he wants to be the highest paid player on 190 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: the Jets, A Meani reported, he wants be higher than 191 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: that would be. He wants to be paid higher than 192 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: c J. Mosley and that's seventeen million a year. Well, 193 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: guess what. C J. Mosley stayed healthy, he played out 194 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: his rookie deal, got to free agency, and got seventeen million. 195 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: That's how this this works. So go do it, stay healthy, 196 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: keep balling out, and you'll get paid. I don't like this, 197 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: and it's going back to the same thing with Jalen 198 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Ramsey Greg last year. I see where this is going 199 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: and everyone, especially in the media, and I don't want 200 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: to sound like some pro ownership guy, but it's always 201 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: it's the player that's right. The ownership is wrong always. 202 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: But this idea that a player can be a star 203 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: and then hold a team hostage when he's under contract, 204 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: I I just don't think it's a good look. I 205 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: love the guy, I love him, but I don't think 206 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: it's a good look. I don't think he's holding them hostage. 207 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: He's making it uncomfortable. Yeah, but it's getting there, and 208 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: in that direction, he's making them uncomfortable publicly. But that's 209 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: his leverage. You know, he's not missing anything, and if 210 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: he misses some training camp whatever like that, I'm not 211 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: really you know, I wouldn't be worried about him long term. 212 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: I think if I was a Jets fan, the concern 213 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: would be this has been bubbling for a while. And 214 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: so the whole trade rumors thing, I don't think started 215 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: with Joe Douglas. It felt like it started with Jamal Adams, 216 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: Like it felt like his agent has been pushing this 217 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: idea of either getting out of New York or he 218 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: needs to you know, you know, priming the pump that 219 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: he needs to get this big time deal sooner than later. 220 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: And that goes back even to last year, because it 221 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: seemed like Adams was already you know, having I don't 222 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: know if it was mixed feelings or whatever, that his 223 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: agent is playing two sides of the fence here and 224 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: and that's his job to do. I I wonder what 225 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: the back and forth, like the background info is because 226 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: the part where I would disagree with you is like, 227 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: you know, third year. You know, great players like him 228 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: going into his fourth year get huge contracts all the time. 229 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: Happens all the time, happens every year. So that so 230 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: that that's like par for the safeties. I mean, it's 231 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: it's a unique thing. I'd have to go back. Yeah, 232 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: but whether he like is resetting the safety market or not, Yeah, 233 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: that that makes I'm not saying it's not complicated. It 234 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: is complicated because the fifth year option, ultimately, I think 235 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: is bad for players that are as good as Jamal 236 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: Adams because that's like another bit of leverage against him 237 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: that maybe isn't like totally his worth. But yeah, I 238 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: would say all pro players get big time extensions going 239 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: into their fourth year, and I kind of figured he's 240 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: got to get his extension going into his fourth year. 241 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: And if I had to guess, I still would guess 242 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: he would get his extension from the Jets going into 243 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: his fourth year. I want to know, like what's happening 244 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: though for him to blow up like this, And if 245 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: I if I had to totally irresponsibly, irresponsibly speculate, I 246 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: guess it's that just nothing's happening, and you know, why 247 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: else would you be getting this frustrated, Like they don't 248 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: even want to put a number out there that's gonna 249 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: make him mad. Uh. They know the kind of money 250 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: that he wants, and he's getting radio silence at this point. 251 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: And then and then you can see it from his side, 252 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, well, well do they see me as 253 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: like the one of the best defensive players in the league. 254 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: Do they value me that way? Because Joe Douglas didn't 255 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: draft me, you know, Adam Gateston. Adam Gates didn't draft me, 256 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: and that that makes it complicated. But it's not like 257 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: the Jets are getting that that first. I think they 258 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: asked for two first and a second to me, and 259 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: he was the first, the first and to seconds. They 260 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: didn't get that last year. They're not gonna get it 261 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: this year. They're not gonna get it before the season, 262 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Right. I just would hate to see 263 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: this turn into like a Yannick and Gockway situation, because, 264 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: like I said, he is such a fun guy to 265 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: root for and watch play and I and they I 266 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: loved Keyshaw Johnson. I used to wear Keishaw Johnson Jersey 267 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: to high school. Uh, number nineteen for the Jets, and 268 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: that stunk. But you know what, when they did trade Keyshawn, 269 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: that ended up being a big deal for them. That 270 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: brought back first round picks that built the team for 271 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: the next decade. So I don't think Joe Douglas is 272 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: going to look at this and say I need to 273 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: cave and trade this guy. I would imagine, like you 274 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: were saying, he didn't draft him either, So it's like, 275 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's open to do in business. Um, so 276 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: we'll see how it's all turns out. But uh, I 277 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: mean the pandemic thing, though, is the pandemic thing is like, 278 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: is a real thing that business is getting clogged up 279 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: right now? I mean you see that in all sorts 280 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: of businesses like that. That is a real thing that 281 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: I uh think is gonna keep having an impact. You know, 282 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: as we get closer to training camp, we're still so 283 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: far away that it's a little surprising to hear this 284 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: like right now, Like why right now? Where does he 285 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: make his home in the off season, Because there's a 286 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: lot of parts of this country that do not believe 287 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: there's a pandemic going on anymore. Well, that's fair. I 288 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: don't know. He's probably uh Florida, Florida guy. Um all right. 289 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: And other news bad news for the San Francisco forty Niners, 290 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: who lose one of the most promising young players to 291 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: a broken left foot. It's Deebo Samuel, who injured himself 292 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: during a workout with teammates on Tuesday. He's gonna be 293 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: sideline three to four months. According to rap sheet Uh 294 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: it is a Jones fracture. It's that foot fracture that 295 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: really causes issues, and it's a big timetable. Um, So 296 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: twelve to sixteen weeks he's out, which almost certainly puts 297 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: him on the pup list, you would think, and might 298 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: be a situation if the NFL season plays as scheduled, 299 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: and who knows, and we'll get to that in a 300 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: little bit, um that it would keep him out probably 301 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: until some time in October. Not ideal, and especially with 302 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: a guy with his skill set as fast as he is. 303 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: It's a concern obviously that he has now a serious 304 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: foot injury. He uh was a guy I thought they 305 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: were almost counting on a little too much, you know, 306 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: when you look at their receiver group and and there's 307 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about, Okay, well you got Deebo 308 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: Samuel as your number one, and then you you know, 309 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: you slide in IUK who's their first round pick. And 310 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: then you have a lot of a you know, a 311 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: bunch of similar guys. You got Jalen Heard, you got 312 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Trent Taylor, uh is coming back, Um Donte Pettis, who 313 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: knows Kendrick Borne is a pretty good slack I but 314 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we got Dievo Samuel as their number one. 315 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: And I heard that and I thought, well, here's a 316 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: rookie who I love watching play. Reminds me a lot 317 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: of an Kuan Bold and but and came on at 318 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: the end of the year, but maybe not a totally 319 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: complete receiver yet. And um really kind of flashed at 320 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: the end of the year. And that's the kind of 321 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: guy a lot of people just project. Suddenly you're gonna 322 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: put up fourteen hundred yards. I don't know if he 323 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: was going to be at that point and of his career. 324 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: And then you take him away and the receiver group 325 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: isn't isn't too good. I mean, Shanahan always finds a 326 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: way to scheme it up. And they've got their first 327 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: round pick I you you know, I did like, um 328 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: what I saw out of Kendrick Borne at the end 329 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: of the year, But otherwise it's like it's a receiver 330 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: by committee and it's not a great group. Yeah, I mean, 331 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: they have the right coach, like you're saying, to figure 332 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: this out. Mark. On our last podcast, he was even 333 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: talking about Kyle Shannon could end up being one of 334 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: the best coaches ever. At the very least, he's one 335 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: of the top minds in the league right now, so 336 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: you would think he's gonna be able to find something 337 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: or they're gonna go out and get somebody. Uh. It 338 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: makes me wonder. I know, I think their cap situation 339 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: is pretty tight, but maybe Emmanuel Sanders was a guy 340 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: they should have thought about trying to keep in the 341 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: building who instead went to the Saints and not a 342 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: very big deal as I recall, maybe it's two years, 343 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: not anything too crazy. Uh, that would have given them 344 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: some more depth and wouldn't leave them as vulnerable as 345 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: they appear to be here. They still have, of course 346 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: George Kittle as well, so there's it's not like they're 347 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: completely up Poops Creek right now, but it hurts for sure. 348 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: They they let Jimmy Garoppolo throw the ball deep less 349 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: than any quarterback in the league, lowest percentage of deep throws. 350 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: You always make fun of uh Teddy Bridgewater for his 351 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: air yards per tempt Dan six yards. You know he's 352 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: even lower j Garpolo only player in the league that's lower. 353 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: Um And Deebo Samuels is a guy that's keeping that 354 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: low because he's a guy. You give him to him 355 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: short and you hope he runs long. But it does 356 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: make you think like Jimmy Garoppolo has got to be 357 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: a part of this solution to where he makes the 358 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: receivers around him better. Um And and Kyle Shanahan's managed 359 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: the way to cook up like a lot of production 360 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: without big time receivers the last few years, so I 361 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: figure he'll do it again. But this this is a 362 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: huge loss. Deebo Samuel from Week ten onward last season 363 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: was twelfth in the league and yardage, so he did 364 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: really come on. But he was a lot of pressure 365 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: on Auk and you you mentioned Um, you know, not 366 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: signing Samuel's and and I think you're right. They had 367 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: tough decisions to make. They you know, they had to 368 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 1: bring bring back our Armstad. They traded, Yeah, they traded 369 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: Buckner in part because of the capsule, and I think, 370 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, because of the trades of they made. They said, hey, 371 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna use our draft, you know, capital on receiver 372 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: instead of spending money on receiver. Yu was like the 373 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: one guy who he very much had draft Twitter split 374 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: and I was not a fan. I'm not like a 375 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: big draft nick, but I did look at like the 376 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: top eight or nine guys, and he was the one guy. 377 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: I was like, Man, I don't see it. Kyle Shanahan 378 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: is a lot smarter than me. To me, he seemed 379 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: like a poor man's Deebo Samuel, and so so they'll 380 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: have him try to fit that rule. God, I would 381 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: have loved for you to go up to Shanahan at 382 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: the scouting combine and say, I do not know what 383 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: you see in this guy. I would I would like 384 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: to know. I just tell me, like what it is. 385 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't get it. I'm not all right. And we're 386 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: all this, we're talking about the season, but who knows 387 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: if there's gonna be season. There continues to be a 388 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: lot of concern, uh and rightfully so, about how the 389 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: ongoing coronavirus pandemic could affect the NFL season or even 390 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: wipe it out entirely. And Dr Tony Fauci Anthony Faucci 391 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious 392 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: Diseases and UH, one of those dudes in the White 393 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: House that you can trust. People like Fauci believe in 394 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: what he has to say. Well, he told cnn UH 395 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: this week that football players would need to be isolated 396 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: from others and tested regularly to make this work. Here's 397 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: what he had to say. Unless players are essentially in 398 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: a bubble, insulated from the community and they are tested 399 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: nearly every day, it would be very hard to see 400 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: how football is able to be played this fall. If 401 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: there is a second wave, which is certainly a possibility 402 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: in which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, 403 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: football may not happen this year. Pro basketball, if you're 404 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: paying attention, the NBA is going down to Atlanto Orlando, Florida, 405 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: or at least that's the plan, and putting themselves in 406 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: a bubble. But that's a two month playoff structure with 407 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: only some of the teams involved in the Teams will 408 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: dwindle obviously throughout the postseason, NFL totally different deal. I 409 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: don't even Foucci man. I love Fouchi, but I don't 410 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: even know you throw something like that out there. It's 411 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: not feasible. We're talking about thousands of people for a 412 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: three to four month season. I don't even know how 413 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: this is a solution. Well, I think he was, you know, 414 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: if you if you listen and read all of it, 415 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think he was trying to say, if 416 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: if a second wave comes, it's like, the virus doesn't 417 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: care about the NFL. So if you want me to 418 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: just be honest, you know, if you're if you're like, 419 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: the virus isn't gonna be on the NFL's schedule. And 420 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: so he's thinking in terms of the bubble. I thought 421 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: he may be meant like within sort of each team, 422 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: like they're they're in their own cities and they're trying 423 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: to stay as contained, you know, just team practicing together 424 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: and everything. But then you of course have the issue 425 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: of traveling and playing the other teams. And we're seeing 426 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: it right now, not that we're experts and not that 427 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: we have any idea where this is going, but that 428 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: sort of the point that the places that were the 429 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: worst in March, like New York City are in great 430 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: shape right now in terms of the coronavirus. I mean, 431 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: the cases there are are down so much. And some 432 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: of the places that we're in good shape early on, 433 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: like Florida and Arizona and where you are, Texas, are 434 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: getting worse. And it's not even the second wave that 435 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: that people have been talking about in all these places. 436 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: It's the first wave. California, which is done in a 437 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: decent job. Where we're at has just been a slow, 438 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: uptick climb this whole time. I mean, my my kids, 439 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: Walkers School preschool is reopening next week, and it's just 440 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: interesting to think about because right now the cases are 441 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: actually are a little higher than they've ever been, you know, 442 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: And that's it's not the mindset people are in, and 443 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: people have figured out, how how are we going to 444 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: live around this? Because you can't. People aren't. You can't 445 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: say that you're just gonna stay locked in your house. 446 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: But it's I mean, the NFL season just to me, 447 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: requires so many things happening that some skepticism is understood, 448 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah. Ben ben Volin for 449 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: the Boston Globe, he wrote a story uh in reaction 450 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 1: to this, and he he brought up some reporting he 451 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: did last month where he spoke with seven infectious disease experts, 452 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: two former NFL doctors, and one former NFL team trainer 453 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: about what will take for the NFL to play this fall. 454 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: None of them thought a bubble scenario was feasible. Uh. 455 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: They said their consensus was that a combination of frequent 456 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: testing and quarantining, plus strict social distancing inside team facilities 457 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: could mitigate the spread of the virus enough to allow 458 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: the NFL to make it through a season. That that 459 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: to me, and you're right. I'm not an expert. Nobody 460 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: nobody on our podcast is. But that's the only way 461 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: this is gonna work. I mean, you could. You're gonna 462 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: take the fans out of the stadium, that's a no brainer. 463 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: And then you're gonna have to test regularly because there 464 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: isn't there isn't an option to be here. There's no 465 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: other way to make it happen. There's no big bubble. 466 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: You can't pull that off. And this one's this one's 467 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: got me a little shook. I gotta be honest with you. 468 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: Faucci coming out and saying that and seeing these cases 469 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: on the rise. Uh this week, it's starting to become 470 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: a bigger and bigger story that this thing is. This 471 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: is supposed to be the quiet down time in the summer, 472 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: and instead of feels like it's ramping up, it feels 473 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: like a coin flip to me right now. Well, you know, 474 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: it's how it feels. Well, I think it's. One of 475 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: the most important parts of this story was that the 476 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Alan Sills and the NFL 477 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: p A. So this is a case where the NFL 478 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: players and the NFL medically are on the exact same page. 479 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: Both of them released the statement today and they said 480 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: essentially that they respect um Dr Fauci, but the issues 481 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: that he you know, that there that that that he's 482 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: been talking about. First of all, the you know, the bubble, 483 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: I think they recognizes is not feasible. But they have 484 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: been developing a protocol that we've heard a report from 485 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: our reporters Tom pel Sero and Ian that they're going 486 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: to test three times a week that they've had some 487 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: protocols and they're gonna come out with more of them. 488 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: That they've been working on this and that that is 489 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: the best way that you know, working with the White House, 490 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: the CDC, other sports league, that it's not gonna be easy, 491 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: but that they, you know, they're coming up with the 492 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: protocol to get this done and they think they can 493 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: do it. I just wonder that, and and it's true 494 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: when I think about the restaurants and everything, it's sometimes 495 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: it's like it's less about the businesses and like can 496 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: they figure out a way to do it? It's just 497 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: like can our country. It's like if the country can 498 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: get it under control in some way, like a lot 499 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: of other countries, like most you know, like most of 500 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: the like industrial world, like are doing a better job. 501 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: Like if the country can do it, then then everything 502 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: can happen. But if the country's in terrible shape. The 503 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: NFL is in the country, and it's part of the country, 504 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 1: and so it's like it's a bigger issue. It's at 505 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: some level, it's unfit. It's unrealistic for to expect the 506 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: NFL that, you know, it's like it's like it's a 507 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: it's a greater societal thing than the that the NFL 508 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: can figure out. And I think one thing that's kind 509 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: of under the radar, and it's obvious, but also sometimes 510 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: you don't even think of it. It's how big this 511 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: country is and how big it is compared to other countries. 512 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, you have all these different 513 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: areas hotspots in this vast you know, three thousand mile 514 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: across country and it's gonna be hard, you know. And 515 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: the NFL teams are spread out all across the country. 516 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: So we're gonna see what's gonna happen with this. I 517 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: did see Ricky just flashed it up on the screen 518 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: here that I do like the COVID nineteen helmets. I 519 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a real thing, if they forever, Yeah, 520 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that they look amazing. I hope it's 521 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: something because everybody would look like fighter pilots, like badass 522 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: airwolf pilots. Uh. Let's hope that happens. That would be 523 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: some something good that comes out of this. Right. Neil 524 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: Reynolds is concerned, He he he was. He was like, 525 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: what is going on there in the US right now? 526 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: Like are they gonna be able to figure this out? 527 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: Because I think, you know, the Premier League's back, you 528 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: know that the the U K's you know, what are 529 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: they doing? The UK per capita model, right, the UK 530 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: per capita has more death has had more deaths than 531 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: the US. But their wave kind of came and you know, 532 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: and it's died down and they're already playing you know, 533 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: pro sports again. In their cases are microscopic compared to 534 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: where we're at. And you said it all it takes 535 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: is like a couple of cities where there are teams, 536 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 1: and that becomes a big problem. You know, wear a mask? 537 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: Will you wear a mask? You listening? Are you wearing 538 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: a mask? Wear a mask? Well not, you don't have 539 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: to wear one to listen to us, you know, you 540 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: know where to listen to. Just get used to it. 541 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: It might take some time, apparently, because some people, according 542 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: to and the Walmart that I'm there. We're here in Texas. 543 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's not even a thing, Ricky, we're playing 544 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: football in the fall? Yes or no? Yes? All, well, 545 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: I'll see. I was getting nervous and now I feel better. 546 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: The one you know, plus, Ricky, if you want to 547 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: be like petty about it is like, you know, wouldn't 548 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: it be funny if like Brady and Gronk don't even 549 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: get to play for the Bucks? Yeah? I mean that's 550 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: a good, good joke. It's a bad joke. You're sick man, Greg, 551 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: because I know you actually do think about it. No, 552 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: I do not. The last thing I want is no football, 553 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 1: please please, I am. I am joking that it's like 554 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: a Patriot transition season. You wipe that out. That would 555 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: have never happened. Stid never has to be the pretend quarterback. 556 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: It's gallows humor. But it's fair to be worried. All right, Um, 557 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: that's happening in the news. Before we go, Greg, let 558 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: me just um, we talked about it on Monday show 559 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: when we uh, we're predicting some team MVPs. And now 560 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: both the f C and the NFC columns are up 561 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: on NFL dot com if you want to check out 562 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: the Jousters predictions. Congratulations. Lton vander Esh leads the column, 563 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: and uh, well he doesn't. It's not it's not like 564 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: he gets eight graphs off the top. But I go 565 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: by division and the Cowboys are up fair and they 566 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: put I don't know why, but the editors moved it 567 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: up and put Dallas first even though they didn't win 568 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: the division. I don't know why it worked out that way. Uh. 569 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: And then the way it turned out, I start the 570 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: blur by Around the NFL with this Around the NFL 571 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: podcast College Greg Rosenthal put it well in a recent 572 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: write up on key homegrown players and on the point. 573 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: So the fact that you actually lead the column is 574 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: a little bit annoying to me, but you know it 575 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: offer shows what a big man I am to give 576 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: you the credit you deserve. Um, let me throw a 577 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: couple more team MVP sneaky ones at you tell me 578 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: if you like it. Miles Sanders and Philly that's fun. 579 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: I I I think it really happy with the lack 580 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: of receivers. Yeah, did you know that he had six 581 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: over six d all purpose yards last year? Was a 582 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,719 Speaker 1: different player down this stretch. I think they are really 583 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: excited about Miles Sanders. So that's a good one. Let's see. 584 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: I have Kenny Golladay with the Lions. How about Golliday 585 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: and that Stafford getting sixteen games in a contract year 586 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: for Golladay and he goes nuts. How here's the fun fact. 587 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: Only Mike Evans averaged more than sixteen point seven yards 588 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: per reception. That's what Colladay has put up. Since he's 589 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: ahead of Tyreek Hill. He league can touchdown catches. Last year. 590 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: He's due for a new contract if I'm if I'm 591 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: not mistaken, and people people kind of sleep on how 592 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: good Stafford played in a new system with Daryl Bevil, 593 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: who who had been shamed out of Seattle, actually was 594 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: off to a great start in Detroit. Um, let's see 595 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: and one more with the Rams, you know who have 596 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: thrown out Cooper Cup. Yeah, Cooper Cup quietly and what 597 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: was a bummer season for the Rams and the offense 598 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: he went and that was his first season off an 599 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: a c L tear. I gotta stop worrying about a 600 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: c L s because if you if you look at 601 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: some of the highlights Cooper Cup had last year, you 602 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: hear those reports sometimes in training came it's like he 603 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: looks like he looks better since his a c L. 604 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: He's more explosive, and it's like, yeah, he was some 605 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: of the places he made after the catch, which is 606 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: not you know what you first think of with Cup, 607 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: We're just ridiculous. Last year. We'd have to get like 608 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: a physical therapist on to find out about the different 609 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: levels of an a c L tear. Maybe he had 610 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: like a more simple one, who knows, or maybe he's 611 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: just gifted that way, but uh, you have Brandon cooks 612 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: now out of the picture. Robert Woods is great and 613 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: he's a target monster, but he doesn't find the end zone. Uh, Cup, 614 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: you could see him in year four. A lot of 615 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: these guys are there around this age, around year three 616 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: or four. Uh that kind of makes sense that they're 617 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: in their prime. So and has a legit has a 618 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: legit sort of Edelman to Brady vibe with with go 619 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: where they truly are on the same page because he 620 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: truly does make him better. I appreciate the link. It 621 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: reminds me of our old you know around the NFL 622 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: blog we never did. We used to call it a blog. 623 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's like our blogging days. We struggled with 624 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: what to call it. Yeah, I was, but it kind 625 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: of was a blog. Yeah, you know, I don't know 626 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: if you know what blogs are, Erica, but you know, 627 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: Dan and I both came up, you know, well before 628 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: we were at the NFL just rights big time to 629 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: just you know, you link out to other sites and 630 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: then you track who was linking to you, and it 631 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: was just sort of like a beautiful blogging community, you know. Yeah, 632 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: like Tumbler. You seem like a big Tumbler guy. I 633 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: did not have a tumbler, but I did have a 634 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: blog spot and it was a baseball blog. Nice. That's cool. Guys, 635 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: don't bring up baseball either. I can't deal with all this, 636 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: all this negativity in my life right now.
