1 00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,666 Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the 2 00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:23,786 Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:28,306 --> 00:00:30,866 Speaker 2: The one player in the twenty twenty five draft that 4 00:00:30,986 --> 00:00:34,426 Speaker 2: you think is a sure thing is who Peter kick 5 00:00:34,466 --> 00:00:36,106 Speaker 2: it off. I'm going up to Penn State, and you're 6 00:00:36,106 --> 00:00:39,426 Speaker 2: probably thinking of Dual Carter. I'm going as teammate Tyler Warren, 7 00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:41,786 Speaker 2: the big tight end, the guy who does everything like 8 00:00:41,946 --> 00:00:44,906 Speaker 2: quarterback in high school, played h back and then moved 9 00:00:44,906 --> 00:00:47,626 Speaker 2: to tight end and basically leads Penn State in every 10 00:00:47,666 --> 00:00:51,786 Speaker 2: offensive category that is cumunly possible and dominated. 11 00:00:51,306 --> 00:00:53,386 Speaker 3: In college football playoffs. Top ten pick. 12 00:00:53,666 --> 00:00:55,266 Speaker 2: For some reason, I don't have the buzz that he's 13 00:00:55,266 --> 00:00:56,466 Speaker 2: getting Top five. 14 00:00:56,546 --> 00:00:57,906 Speaker 3: He might when it's all said and done. 15 00:00:58,106 --> 00:01:00,346 Speaker 2: Absolute beasts and a team leader who can do it 16 00:01:00,346 --> 00:01:01,986 Speaker 2: both in the blocking game. 17 00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:03,386 Speaker 3: And in the receiving game. 18 00:01:03,586 --> 00:01:06,386 Speaker 2: The ultimate tight end coming out of college, Tyler Warren. 19 00:01:06,426 --> 00:01:09,746 Speaker 3: And it's a sure thing in my eyes. I like it. 20 00:01:09,746 --> 00:01:13,186 Speaker 2: It's been long ten weeks for Giants fans waiting and 21 00:01:13,226 --> 00:01:16,706 Speaker 2: watching it went from dreams of Stafford, to dreams of 22 00:01:17,146 --> 00:01:21,146 Speaker 2: Rogers too, then thoughts of Jameis and to now being like, 23 00:01:21,186 --> 00:01:23,626 Speaker 2: all right, it's Russ and what version of Russ are 24 00:01:23,626 --> 00:01:25,146 Speaker 2: we getting we get in the version of Russ that's 25 00:01:25,146 --> 00:01:27,226 Speaker 2: the first ten weeks of last season that looked like 26 00:01:27,266 --> 00:01:29,106 Speaker 2: a guy who was a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback, or 27 00:01:29,186 --> 00:01:32,106 Speaker 2: the last five weeks where the Steelers offense faltered. Either way, 28 00:01:32,106 --> 00:01:34,786 Speaker 2: it's an upgrade from last year's quarterback room. Right now 29 00:01:34,786 --> 00:01:37,866 Speaker 2: you've got Jamis Winston and Russell Wilson, two competent quarterbacks. 30 00:01:37,906 --> 00:01:40,226 Speaker 2: You leave the door open if you want to draft 31 00:01:40,226 --> 00:01:43,706 Speaker 2: a quarterback at three. Now that means that Shador Sanders 32 00:01:43,706 --> 00:01:45,746 Speaker 2: would likely have to fall to three, but you're not 33 00:01:46,066 --> 00:01:49,026 Speaker 2: tied to drafting Shador Sanders. You could still get a 34 00:01:49,066 --> 00:01:51,706 Speaker 2: franchise cornerstone and build brick by brick in. One of 35 00:01:51,746 --> 00:01:54,386 Speaker 2: those franchise cornerstones could be Abdul Carter, it could be 36 00:01:54,466 --> 00:01:57,306 Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. I will say this, there is very little 37 00:01:57,666 --> 00:02:01,386 Speaker 2: sizzle or buzz around the Giants now. I mean you're 38 00:02:01,426 --> 00:02:04,186 Speaker 2: talking about something that the Maras might not be excited about, 39 00:02:04,226 --> 00:02:07,146 Speaker 2: which would mean being on the fifth crew on or 40 00:02:07,186 --> 00:02:09,786 Speaker 2: being on the sixth crew on CBS opening week and 41 00:02:09,946 --> 00:02:12,866 Speaker 2: one o'clock games every single week and not getting those 42 00:02:12,906 --> 00:02:17,146 Speaker 2: primetime ratings, not getting everyone talking about the Giants Russell 43 00:02:17,186 --> 00:02:20,546 Speaker 2: Wilson and Jamis Winston are competent quarterbacks. They are not 44 00:02:20,786 --> 00:02:24,186 Speaker 2: going to have fans buying jerseys tomorrow and saying I 45 00:02:24,266 --> 00:02:26,466 Speaker 2: need to be a part of this wave. That means 46 00:02:26,466 --> 00:02:28,466 Speaker 2: it's gonna be about the football, and it's gonna be 47 00:02:28,506 --> 00:02:30,946 Speaker 2: about the draft, whether they can get the guy or not, 48 00:02:31,386 --> 00:02:33,026 Speaker 2: and if they want the guy or not. 49 00:02:33,546 --> 00:02:34,266 Speaker 3: You don't want to. 50 00:02:34,386 --> 00:02:37,146 Speaker 2: Overreach for a quarterback. We saw that in so many 51 00:02:37,226 --> 00:02:39,826 Speaker 2: drafts before. And I look at like the Zach Wilson 52 00:02:40,066 --> 00:02:42,786 Speaker 2: draft that the Jets were part of, and then teams 53 00:02:42,786 --> 00:02:44,866 Speaker 2: were like, all right, we need Trey Lancet three. Okay, 54 00:02:44,906 --> 00:02:46,546 Speaker 2: well we need to jump up and get I don't 55 00:02:46,546 --> 00:02:48,946 Speaker 2: think you want to be desperate for a quarterback. Russell 56 00:02:48,986 --> 00:02:50,906 Speaker 2: Wilson led a team to the playoffs last year. Whether 57 00:02:50,946 --> 00:02:52,506 Speaker 2: you think he was great or not, he did it. 58 00:02:52,586 --> 00:02:55,626 Speaker 2: He's confident enough. It's not gonna have anyone doing flips. 59 00:02:55,626 --> 00:02:57,106 Speaker 2: And it might be on the New York Post front 60 00:02:57,106 --> 00:02:59,986 Speaker 2: cover for one day, not twenty like the Rogers signing 61 00:03:00,026 --> 00:03:02,546 Speaker 2: would have been. But they've got their two quarterbacks and 62 00:03:02,586 --> 00:03:04,466 Speaker 2: they leave the door open if they want another one too. 63 00:03:05,466 --> 00:03:07,626 Speaker 2: It's now like if you want to take Tyler Schuck 64 00:03:07,866 --> 00:03:09,546 Speaker 2: who is out of louis Ville and he's a twenty 65 00:03:09,546 --> 00:03:11,866 Speaker 2: five year old quarterback who's that Texas Tech for You 66 00:03:11,866 --> 00:03:13,546 Speaker 2: don't have to sit the three pick. You can say, Okay, 67 00:03:13,586 --> 00:03:16,986 Speaker 2: we could draft Abdua, Carter, Travis Hunter, one of those 68 00:03:17,026 --> 00:03:17,946 Speaker 2: two guys at three. 69 00:03:17,986 --> 00:03:18,666 Speaker 3: They will be there. 70 00:03:18,666 --> 00:03:20,586 Speaker 2: They have to be because if Ford's going one, one 71 00:03:20,626 --> 00:03:22,266 Speaker 2: of those two guys are at three, and then we 72 00:03:22,306 --> 00:03:24,426 Speaker 2: can get a guy that maybe we like as a 73 00:03:24,466 --> 00:03:26,066 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, but we don't have to draft him at 74 00:03:26,106 --> 00:03:27,786 Speaker 2: three with all the pressure and the expectations. We could 75 00:03:27,786 --> 00:03:29,706 Speaker 2: take him in the second round with the thirty fourth 76 00:03:29,706 --> 00:03:32,426 Speaker 2: pick or the third round. That gives him that opportunity. 77 00:03:32,746 --> 00:03:34,986 Speaker 2: I also look at the Giants when they laid out 78 00:03:34,986 --> 00:03:37,506 Speaker 2: their chessboard. I don't think they this was a goal. 79 00:03:38,186 --> 00:03:41,666 Speaker 2: I think Stafford, I think Rogers this is option C 80 00:03:41,826 --> 00:03:44,786 Speaker 2: and D. So you can't be overwhelmed with joy right now. 81 00:03:44,786 --> 00:03:47,106 Speaker 2: It's more settling than anything, especially with the fact that 82 00:03:47,186 --> 00:03:49,826 Speaker 2: Russell was, you know, taking this tour, going to Cleveland, 83 00:03:49,826 --> 00:03:52,106 Speaker 2: going to who's selling his wares and you're like, I 84 00:03:52,146 --> 00:03:54,906 Speaker 2: get so. My last point is this, the Giants fan 85 00:03:54,946 --> 00:03:57,546 Speaker 2: base has been so miserable the last few years, so 86 00:03:57,866 --> 00:04:00,066 Speaker 2: sad everything is doom and gloom. 87 00:04:00,346 --> 00:04:01,746 Speaker 3: You just had two of. 88 00:04:01,706 --> 00:04:06,106 Speaker 2: The most optimistic, positive players in the entire NFL join 89 00:04:06,186 --> 00:04:09,226 Speaker 2: that locker room and joined that quarterbacks room, where at 90 00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:11,946 Speaker 2: the very least there is a light in there is 91 00:04:11,986 --> 00:04:14,386 Speaker 2: a positivity with Russell Wilson and Jameis wins and these 92 00:04:14,386 --> 00:04:15,106 Speaker 2: are two guys who have. 93 00:04:15,066 --> 00:04:16,346 Speaker 3: Never had a bad day in their lives. 94 00:04:18,186 --> 00:04:21,266 Speaker 2: Well, the carousel was going around and around and around, 95 00:04:21,306 --> 00:04:23,506 Speaker 2: and there was a couple of seats available and now 96 00:04:23,546 --> 00:04:25,266 Speaker 2: there's really just one. And I don't think this is 97 00:04:25,306 --> 00:04:27,546 Speaker 2: because the Giants were like, you know what, We've had enough, 98 00:04:27,586 --> 00:04:30,466 Speaker 2: We're going I think the Giants got the message and 99 00:04:30,466 --> 00:04:32,426 Speaker 2: the writing was on the wall that Aaron Rodgers wasn't 100 00:04:32,466 --> 00:04:34,186 Speaker 2: coming to them, So they were like, let's pivot. We'll 101 00:04:34,186 --> 00:04:36,906 Speaker 2: do Jamis and then we'll do Russ for a combined 102 00:04:36,946 --> 00:04:39,546 Speaker 2: cost that'll be way less than it would have been had. 103 00:04:39,386 --> 00:04:40,466 Speaker 3: They brought in Aaron Rodgers. 104 00:04:40,546 --> 00:04:43,066 Speaker 2: But there is a moment of sadness here because I 105 00:04:43,106 --> 00:04:46,346 Speaker 2: think the Aaron Rodgers Giants thing was at least tantalizing 106 00:04:46,346 --> 00:04:48,226 Speaker 2: from a New York City perspective, and what it could 107 00:04:48,266 --> 00:04:50,866 Speaker 2: have meant and to have Aaron Rodgers throwing to neighbors. 108 00:04:51,546 --> 00:04:54,266 Speaker 2: But now there's really just one place left and that's Pittsburgh. 109 00:04:54,506 --> 00:04:58,146 Speaker 2: The other place left is Rogers exploring other things and 110 00:04:58,146 --> 00:05:01,626 Speaker 2: other opportunities outside of football, so as retirement or the Steelers. 111 00:05:02,186 --> 00:05:03,746 Speaker 3: You know, what's the hold up? What's the way? 112 00:05:04,586 --> 00:05:07,786 Speaker 2: We mentioned Pat McAfee last last hour to Cam Hayward. 113 00:05:08,146 --> 00:05:11,426 Speaker 2: He's got that big event next Wednesday, I believe in 114 00:05:11,466 --> 00:05:15,066 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh that he's hosting, Like, is Rogers gonna do a 115 00:05:15,546 --> 00:05:17,986 Speaker 2: big announcement? Is this gonna be one of these deals 116 00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:21,146 Speaker 2: where Rogers unveils us to a crowd of Steelers fans 117 00:05:21,186 --> 00:05:21,626 Speaker 2: that has. 118 00:05:21,546 --> 00:05:22,746 Speaker 3: A big live event in Pittsburgh. 119 00:05:22,906 --> 00:05:25,786 Speaker 2: Yes, that Rogers may show up and be like, is 120 00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,106 Speaker 2: that not a great way to like unveil this thing. 121 00:05:28,106 --> 00:05:30,386 Speaker 3: It might not be because what if the Steelers fans boom? 122 00:05:30,466 --> 00:05:34,946 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually fascinating. Like Flourio put a poll out 123 00:05:34,986 --> 00:05:37,306 Speaker 2: there and he's like, Steelers fans, straight up, you want 124 00:05:37,306 --> 00:05:40,066 Speaker 2: this or not? And I think most of you at 125 00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:42,266 Speaker 2: this point, I think it is. It's like where what 126 00:05:42,306 --> 00:05:43,346 Speaker 2: are we doing? Otherwise? 127 00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:43,666 Speaker 3: Right now? 128 00:05:43,666 --> 00:05:46,186 Speaker 2: If you ask them at the start of the you 129 00:05:46,186 --> 00:05:47,946 Speaker 2: know they started the whole free agency think maybe not, 130 00:05:47,986 --> 00:05:50,546 Speaker 2: but like at this point I think Rogers to the Steelers, 131 00:05:50,786 --> 00:05:53,066 Speaker 2: whether it makes sense or not, from both sides, it 132 00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:55,706 Speaker 2: seems like it's the most natural fit and it might 133 00:05:55,746 --> 00:05:58,226 Speaker 2: be the last fit unless there's a wildcar team. I 134 00:05:58,226 --> 00:06:00,306 Speaker 2: have said this team time and time again, and no 135 00:06:00,346 --> 00:06:02,666 Speaker 2: one has has has has backed me up. 136 00:06:02,586 --> 00:06:04,306 Speaker 3: And knowing that, I can't wait, what was it? If 137 00:06:04,306 --> 00:06:05,666 Speaker 3: you're the New Orleans Saints. 138 00:06:05,466 --> 00:06:07,466 Speaker 2: Do you not make a play like you got Derek 139 00:06:07,506 --> 00:06:10,626 Speaker 2: Carr there? Do you not say let's just go for 140 00:06:10,746 --> 00:06:13,186 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's two veteran quarterbacks who are 141 00:06:13,186 --> 00:06:14,906 Speaker 2: a brand new coach and a brand new coach with 142 00:06:14,946 --> 00:06:16,546 Speaker 2: Calm Moore, But like, I just think that's a market 143 00:06:16,586 --> 00:06:18,866 Speaker 2: that could use like some buzz, and it gets. 144 00:06:18,626 --> 00:06:20,106 Speaker 3: A guy that's a veteran quarterback for a. 145 00:06:20,106 --> 00:06:23,146 Speaker 2: Team that's actually filled with veterans, Like the Saints are 146 00:06:23,146 --> 00:06:24,106 Speaker 2: all veteran guys. 147 00:06:24,146 --> 00:06:26,386 Speaker 3: Now, it's not like Alvin kamaras a second year guy. 148 00:06:26,426 --> 00:06:28,506 Speaker 3: It's not like, you know, you've. 149 00:06:28,186 --> 00:06:30,706 Speaker 2: Got that defense with Tomorrow Davis and of course our 150 00:06:30,706 --> 00:06:32,986 Speaker 2: guy Cam Jordan, but like they are veteran guys all 151 00:06:33,066 --> 00:06:34,706 Speaker 2: up and down that Saints team. Do you not bring 152 00:06:34,706 --> 00:06:36,426 Speaker 2: in Rodgers and try to win the NFC South? But 153 00:06:36,826 --> 00:06:38,466 Speaker 2: maybe they just tied to Derek Cole. 154 00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:42,186 Speaker 3: I'm going way off the board here talking about Saints 155 00:06:42,186 --> 00:06:42,666 Speaker 3: and Rogers. 156 00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:44,546 Speaker 2: But you're trying to ask me to do some heavy 157 00:06:44,586 --> 00:06:47,106 Speaker 2: lifting here, and that's just me speculating throwing darts. There's 158 00:06:47,106 --> 00:06:49,746 Speaker 2: been no buzz around that one at all. That's two 159 00:06:49,786 --> 00:06:51,906 Speaker 2: things for you. Little nuggets from the combine that I 160 00:06:51,946 --> 00:06:54,546 Speaker 2: have in my notebook that I'll like bring out here. Abuka, 161 00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:56,746 Speaker 2: the first guy right there at number seventeen, who is 162 00:06:56,826 --> 00:07:00,466 Speaker 2: amazing throughout the college football playoffs. I asked a longtime 163 00:07:00,546 --> 00:07:03,986 Speaker 2: GM who I've become very close to when it comes 164 00:07:04,066 --> 00:07:05,946 Speaker 2: to draft stuff and boards and all that. 165 00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:10,066 Speaker 3: All right, straight up best interview, the best. 166 00:07:09,746 --> 00:07:13,106 Speaker 2: Person you met in the most Likable prize a buc 167 00:07:13,146 --> 00:07:16,466 Speaker 2: Ohio State. And that same GM a few years back 168 00:07:16,506 --> 00:07:18,226 Speaker 2: when I asked him that same questions, I always go 169 00:07:18,266 --> 00:07:21,346 Speaker 2: through the same list of questions, told me Terry McLaurin 170 00:07:21,386 --> 00:07:25,426 Speaker 2: Ohio State. So you're talking about great leaders, great men, 171 00:07:25,826 --> 00:07:28,026 Speaker 2: that is who you're getting in that wide receiver. And 172 00:07:28,026 --> 00:07:31,466 Speaker 2: then the guy who didn't work out yesterday, Judkins out 173 00:07:31,506 --> 00:07:35,186 Speaker 2: of Ohio State is one of the most awesome players 174 00:07:35,226 --> 00:07:37,066 Speaker 2: in this draft. And what I love about him was 175 00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:40,546 Speaker 2: ran for sixteen hundred yards of the freshman at all 176 00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:43,826 Speaker 2: Miss sixteen hundred yards in the SEC, won Freshman of 177 00:07:43,826 --> 00:07:47,266 Speaker 2: the Year, then straight because nil portal World. It's like, Blach, 178 00:07:47,826 --> 00:07:48,426 Speaker 2: you gotta get out. 179 00:07:48,466 --> 00:07:50,026 Speaker 3: I guess after. 180 00:07:49,826 --> 00:07:52,106 Speaker 2: Two years of dominating the SEC, he spends one year 181 00:07:52,146 --> 00:07:54,306 Speaker 2: at Ohio State and goes and wins the National Championship, 182 00:07:54,386 --> 00:07:56,706 Speaker 2: runs for less yards because he's sharing carries. 183 00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:59,026 Speaker 3: But in every interview that he gave. 184 00:07:58,866 --> 00:08:00,946 Speaker 2: When I was asking questions, he was like, oh, I 185 00:08:00,986 --> 00:08:01,946 Speaker 2: just wanted to win the CHIP. 186 00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:02,986 Speaker 3: I wanted to win the chip. 187 00:08:03,026 --> 00:08:06,626 Speaker 2: And maybe there were some chips A dollars signed to 188 00:08:06,666 --> 00:08:07,506 Speaker 2: it that helped as well. 189 00:08:07,746 --> 00:08:09,466 Speaker 3: But if not, like old Miss was one of these. 190 00:08:09,346 --> 00:08:12,106 Speaker 2: Mid majors, he left the SEC where he was dominating, 191 00:08:12,386 --> 00:08:15,186 Speaker 2: and that when dominated the Big ten, it was probably 192 00:08:15,506 --> 00:08:18,106 Speaker 2: the best player on that team when they needed most 193 00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:20,586 Speaker 2: in those big moments. So I look at both Judkins 194 00:08:20,666 --> 00:08:22,346 Speaker 2: and I look at Abuka, and I think both those 195 00:08:22,346 --> 00:08:24,306 Speaker 2: guys our first round picks, and both those guys are 196 00:08:24,306 --> 00:08:25,666 Speaker 2: going to be superstars in the NFL. 197 00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:29,346 Speaker 3: Peter, how do you feel about Ashton Genty in the NFL. 198 00:08:29,586 --> 00:08:32,666 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's this guy's the limit. And you know, 199 00:08:33,226 --> 00:08:35,306 Speaker 2: you think about every year it's like here's b Jon 200 00:08:35,466 --> 00:08:38,026 Speaker 2: Robinson and then you know one other year it's. 201 00:08:37,906 --> 00:08:40,706 Speaker 3: Gonna be here's Adrian Peterson. There are these few names 202 00:08:40,786 --> 00:08:41,626 Speaker 3: that are like we've been. 203 00:08:41,506 --> 00:08:44,866 Speaker 2: Hearing about Geny all season and the numbers are outstanding. 204 00:08:44,906 --> 00:08:47,106 Speaker 2: It's working to make an immediate impact because I think 205 00:08:47,106 --> 00:08:49,186 Speaker 2: he is a top ten pick, But like, what team 206 00:08:49,266 --> 00:08:51,266 Speaker 2: can he lift on his shoulders and say I'm. 207 00:08:51,106 --> 00:08:51,626 Speaker 3: Gonna get you there? 208 00:08:51,666 --> 00:08:54,106 Speaker 2: When you think about it, if he's the number one 209 00:08:54,226 --> 00:08:57,706 Speaker 2: pure player in this draft, regardless of position, if you're 210 00:08:57,826 --> 00:09:00,946 Speaker 2: Cleveland at two, or if you're the you know, the 211 00:09:00,986 --> 00:09:03,466 Speaker 2: giant Tep Tracy, I guess. But like you start thinking 212 00:09:03,466 --> 00:09:05,106 Speaker 2: about these teams in the top five and it's like 213 00:09:05,386 --> 00:09:08,866 Speaker 2: this is not the greatest top to bottom as far 214 00:09:08,946 --> 00:09:11,146 Speaker 2: as like these, why not just say this is the 215 00:09:11,226 --> 00:09:12,546 Speaker 2: year I'm just gonna take a running back like the 216 00:09:12,586 --> 00:09:15,146 Speaker 2: old school days where you would take a Marshall Fulk 217 00:09:15,186 --> 00:09:16,266 Speaker 2: in the top five. 218 00:09:16,146 --> 00:09:18,906 Speaker 3: Or you would go and just go and Leonard fourte 219 00:09:18,986 --> 00:09:19,266 Speaker 3: rab a. 220 00:09:19,266 --> 00:09:21,586 Speaker 2: Leonard Fournette if you have to, and you're like top ten, 221 00:09:21,626 --> 00:09:23,786 Speaker 2: I'm taking a running back. I think I think this 222 00:09:23,866 --> 00:09:25,586 Speaker 2: might be one of the shockers of the draft if 223 00:09:25,626 --> 00:09:29,506 Speaker 2: he goes I don't know, five to Jacksonville, you know, 224 00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:33,266 Speaker 2: top four to New England, like six of the Raiders 225 00:09:33,266 --> 00:09:35,426 Speaker 2: sticks to the Raiders, like to me, the sky's the 226 00:09:35,426 --> 00:09:37,106 Speaker 2: limit and I'm excited to see where he ends up 227 00:09:38,226 --> 00:09:40,866 Speaker 2: the nickname. Last night, Russell and cr are sitting a 228 00:09:40,986 --> 00:09:44,026 Speaker 2: courtside like there was some buzz and there was some action. 229 00:09:44,426 --> 00:09:47,186 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson like New York City. I don't know. There's 230 00:09:47,226 --> 00:09:49,266 Speaker 3: Chris Rock in the in the foreground, you could see 231 00:09:49,306 --> 00:09:51,266 Speaker 3: like thek my guy, Maddie Moden in the back.

He's 240 00:10:10,346 --> 00:10:12,026 Speaker 3: not looking at a mentor rookie at. 241 00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:13,586 Speaker 2: The Staria that he will you know, but it wasn't 242 00:10:13,586 --> 00:10:15,546 Speaker 2: one of those where it's like whatever you do, I'm 243 00:10:15,546 --> 00:10:17,666 Speaker 2: now for him, just happy for the opportunity, like Russ 244 00:10:17,706 --> 00:10:19,706 Speaker 2: wants to rock and roll, and Russ wants to do this. 245 00:10:20,066 --> 00:10:22,626 Speaker 2: There was a buzz and for for even a minute, 246 00:10:22,626 --> 00:10:25,266 Speaker 2: even if it was just yesterday, it was like, Okay, 247 00:10:25,346 --> 00:10:27,306 Speaker 2: that's a quarterback. And I hate to just keep on 248 00:10:27,346 --> 00:10:29,146 Speaker 2: piling on Daniel Jones that he's no longer here. But 249 00:10:29,386 --> 00:10:32,026 Speaker 2: at no point with Daniel Jones like let's go, I'm 250 00:10:32,066 --> 00:10:35,026 Speaker 2: the guy, let's rock and roll. Daniel Jones never had 251 00:10:35,066 --> 00:10:37,866 Speaker 2: that or I never had that presence. And whether Russell 252 00:10:37,986 --> 00:10:39,866 Speaker 2: is the same guy he was in twenty seventeen and 253 00:10:39,906 --> 00:10:42,026 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen when he was competing for MVP Awards and 254 00:10:42,066 --> 00:10:44,706 Speaker 2: getting the Seahawks through the playoffs or he's this different 255 00:10:44,786 --> 00:10:47,506 Speaker 2: version of himself, I think at the very least there's 256 00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:50,186 Speaker 2: a presence. And I'll add this, you know, I'm looking 257 00:10:50,186 --> 00:10:51,986 Speaker 2: at the numbers yesterdays they were coming in and it's 258 00:10:52,026 --> 00:10:53,626 Speaker 2: ten and a half million, and he can make up 259 00:10:53,626 --> 00:10:56,826 Speaker 2: to I think fifteen million with incentives, and Jamis will 260 00:10:56,826 --> 00:11:00,906 Speaker 2: make eight. Duk Trescott's going to make sixty million, dollars 261 00:11:00,946 --> 00:11:02,226 Speaker 2: to be the Cowboys quarterback. 262 00:11:02,346 --> 00:11:06,066 Speaker 3: Sixty that's sixty six, ohs. Russell Wilson will make ten. 263 00:11:06,586 --> 00:11:07,866 Speaker 3: So for one sixth of. 264 00:11:07,946 --> 00:11:10,906 Speaker 2: What you're paying Dak Prescott, you get your starting quarterback. 265 00:11:11,386 --> 00:11:14,186 Speaker 2: And I don't know if Dak Prescott is six times 266 00:11:14,186 --> 00:11:17,826 Speaker 2: the player that Russell Wilson is. So we'll see and 267 00:11:17,946 --> 00:11:21,186 Speaker 2: go to the giant situation Rogers. They had to at 268 00:11:21,226 --> 00:11:22,986 Speaker 2: some point and be like, we're not going to justcend. 269 00:11:22,786 --> 00:11:23,346 Speaker 3: Here and wait. 270 00:11:23,746 --> 00:11:25,586 Speaker 2: They go on, Rogers is going to likely be either 271 00:11:25,586 --> 00:11:27,706 Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh or not playing at all. And now I 272 00:11:27,786 --> 00:11:29,986 Speaker 2: have Russell Wilson, a competent quarterback, and you still leave 273 00:11:30,026 --> 00:11:32,346 Speaker 2: the door open for that third. Overall, I feel a 274 00:11:32,346 --> 00:11:34,946 Speaker 2: lot better today about it. 275 00:11:34,946 --> 00:11:37,066 Speaker 3: Seeing kind of Russ and hearing Russ and. 276 00:11:37,026 --> 00:11:39,426 Speaker 2: Seeing him in New York being well received than I 277 00:11:39,426 --> 00:11:41,626 Speaker 2: did yesterday, where I was like, all right, Russell Wilson, 278 00:11:41,626 --> 00:11:42,306 Speaker 2: what's next?
