1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:27,148 Speaker 1: partnership with Iheartradioyning Football. Hey, welcome to Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:27,348 --> 00:00:29,428 Speaker 1: We're live in New York City. It's a special Wednesday, 4 00:00:29,428 --> 00:00:31,388 Speaker 1: April fifth. I'm Jamie yurt All because I get to 5 00:00:31,428 --> 00:00:34,028 Speaker 1: say this. That is Kyle Brand, that is Peter Stringer, 6 00:00:34,148 --> 00:00:36,108 Speaker 1: is that is Jason mccordy. Because it's went on a 7 00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:39,148 Speaker 1: seven weeks, A wall has been A wall feels good 8 00:00:39,228 --> 00:00:41,228 Speaker 1: in back. He's going to see these three faces right 9 00:00:41,268 --> 00:00:43,028 Speaker 1: in front of how's your view, Jamie? It feels great. 10 00:00:43,108 --> 00:00:45,988 Speaker 1: Everyone is where they are meant to be. And I 11 00:00:46,068 --> 00:00:47,748 Speaker 1: never know what you're gonna say, but at least I 12 00:00:47,788 --> 00:00:51,148 Speaker 1: know where it's coming from. Block Clients are a lines 13 00:00:51,188 --> 00:00:53,868 Speaker 1: Bock draft three point on dropped yesterday, and this one's 14 00:00:53,868 --> 00:00:55,948 Speaker 1: a doozy kind of through it for a loop yesterday 15 00:00:55,948 --> 00:00:58,468 Speaker 1: when we were talking about these possibilities. He's got three 16 00:00:58,508 --> 00:01:01,188 Speaker 1: quarterbacks going in round one, but not in a way 17 00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:04,028 Speaker 1: that anyone else is suggested thus far. He's got the 18 00:01:04,028 --> 00:01:07,348 Speaker 1: Panthers taking brycey Young at one, followed by some wild 19 00:01:07,428 --> 00:01:10,628 Speaker 1: trades that actually send CJ. Stroud to the Ravens at four, 20 00:01:10,908 --> 00:01:13,548 Speaker 1: and then will Levis heading to Las Vegas to play 21 00:01:13,588 --> 00:01:16,228 Speaker 1: with the Raiders at seven, Texans trading up to get him, 22 00:01:16,348 --> 00:01:18,988 Speaker 1: Texans trading up to get it to will excuse me 23 00:01:19,668 --> 00:01:22,308 Speaker 1: for that Raiders pick. His final first round quarterback Anthony 24 00:01:22,388 --> 00:01:26,428 Speaker 1: Richardson lands with the Patriots of fourteen. Here's Lance explaining 25 00:01:26,508 --> 00:01:31,908 Speaker 1: the pick on last night's mock draft Fly. Let's see 26 00:01:32,068 --> 00:01:35,068 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Mac Jones. Supposedly there were some issues 27 00:01:35,068 --> 00:01:37,388 Speaker 1: when between the two of them. I think where there's smoke, 28 00:01:37,468 --> 00:01:40,028 Speaker 1: there's fire, and if Bill Belichick is not on board 29 00:01:40,068 --> 00:01:42,388 Speaker 1: with Mac Jones, this really wouldn't be a hard one 30 00:01:42,428 --> 00:01:44,788 Speaker 1: for me. It might even it might even necessitate a 31 00:01:44,868 --> 00:01:47,788 Speaker 1: trade up where Bill Belichick says, hey, Bailey's happy year 32 00:01:47,828 --> 00:01:50,588 Speaker 1: one and Anthony Richardson year two, and that's how we're 33 00:01:50,588 --> 00:01:52,308 Speaker 1: going to do this, and Mac Jones we move for 34 00:01:52,348 --> 00:01:54,268 Speaker 1: a second round pick. I think there would be some 35 00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:57,228 Speaker 1: value on the market for Mac Jones as a potential 36 00:01:57,308 --> 00:02:01,588 Speaker 1: quarterback this year, in the draft or even after the draft. Okay, 37 00:02:01,948 --> 00:02:04,308 Speaker 1: all right, that's a theory. It's interesting one put fourth 38 00:02:04,468 --> 00:02:08,708 Speaker 1: by Lance and quite the injury hypothetical outcome. So thoughts 39 00:02:08,748 --> 00:02:11,748 Speaker 1: on off season rumblings out of Fox world, particular when 40 00:02:11,748 --> 00:02:15,268 Speaker 1: you consider that Lance has New England, Will Belichick's selecting 41 00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:18,428 Speaker 1: a quarterback when Peter they have one going into his 42 00:02:18,508 --> 00:02:21,628 Speaker 1: third ear the word I got last year last off season. 43 00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,108 Speaker 1: I was one of those who was like Mac Jones 44 00:02:23,188 --> 00:02:27,028 Speaker 1: sneaky MVP, like you know, dark, like course they're in 45 00:02:27,068 --> 00:02:30,028 Speaker 1: the off season, because everyone's just raving about mac Jones 46 00:02:30,348 --> 00:02:32,948 Speaker 1: last summer. It was as if, all right, he had 47 00:02:32,948 --> 00:02:34,948 Speaker 1: this great stretch to end the season, takes the playoffs, 48 00:02:34,948 --> 00:02:36,788 Speaker 1: they get blown out by Buffalo, but like, oh my god, 49 00:02:36,788 --> 00:02:39,148 Speaker 1: this guy's the limit. And there wasn't even a debate. 50 00:02:39,228 --> 00:02:42,268 Speaker 1: It was Mac Jones was the best quarterback of that 51 00:02:42,388 --> 00:02:44,908 Speaker 1: draft class that year. And that included Trevor Lawrence, included 52 00:02:44,948 --> 00:02:48,668 Speaker 1: justin fields, that included Trey Lance. Mac Jones was you 53 00:02:48,708 --> 00:02:51,588 Speaker 1: couldn't picture a different one eighty from the whispers we 54 00:02:51,668 --> 00:02:53,068 Speaker 1: hear out of five Rod. And that might not be 55 00:02:53,108 --> 00:02:55,748 Speaker 1: from Bill Belichick, that might not be from the players. 56 00:02:55,788 --> 00:02:57,588 Speaker 1: That might just be from the local media saying, well, 57 00:02:57,628 --> 00:03:00,988 Speaker 1: we're hearing things from this person, and this Mac had 58 00:03:00,988 --> 00:03:03,308 Speaker 1: a rough year last year. I don't think the Patriots 59 00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:06,348 Speaker 1: did much to help that last year. It seemed like 60 00:03:06,388 --> 00:03:08,908 Speaker 1: they didn't have a successor ready for when Josh McDaniels 61 00:03:08,908 --> 00:03:10,788 Speaker 1: took the job in Las Vegas. And it wasn't a 62 00:03:10,788 --> 00:03:13,228 Speaker 1: shocker that McDaniels would someday take a head coaching job. 63 00:03:13,268 --> 00:03:16,308 Speaker 1: He's offered interviews every single year and turned them down. 64 00:03:16,948 --> 00:03:19,148 Speaker 1: And then they said, let's do this two headed monster 65 00:03:19,268 --> 00:03:22,108 Speaker 1: of maybe it's Matt Patricia and maybe it's Joe Judge, 66 00:03:22,108 --> 00:03:24,988 Speaker 1: and we already have people in house. When Josh McDaniels 67 00:03:25,028 --> 00:03:27,148 Speaker 1: took that job in Las Vegas, he not only went there, 68 00:03:27,148 --> 00:03:30,188 Speaker 1: he took mich Lombardi, he took several different offensive coaches 69 00:03:30,228 --> 00:03:33,188 Speaker 1: with him, took several players that were veterans leave, and 70 00:03:33,188 --> 00:03:36,668 Speaker 1: it was like, all right, Mac, you're two figured out pal. 71 00:03:37,788 --> 00:03:40,308 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Mac Jones the stuff that you're hearing 72 00:03:40,428 --> 00:03:42,868 Speaker 1: that they might be looking to shop him whatever. I 73 00:03:42,908 --> 00:03:45,348 Speaker 1: haven't heard that. But when he comes off the league 74 00:03:45,388 --> 00:03:48,388 Speaker 1: meetings where every single media member is there, and you've 75 00:03:48,388 --> 00:03:50,788 Speaker 1: got Belichick there, and you've got Kraft there, and you've 76 00:03:50,828 --> 00:03:53,148 Speaker 1: got Jonathan Kraft there, I'm not gonna poo poo any 77 00:03:53,188 --> 00:03:56,428 Speaker 1: of that stuff either, because the timing is, hey, we're 78 00:03:56,468 --> 00:04:00,108 Speaker 1: all together. Houston, Nick Kossario, you worked for US Las Vegas. 79 00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:03,148 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, you worked for US. Yeah, conversation might happen. 80 00:04:03,548 --> 00:04:05,308 Speaker 1: What do you think on that, Jones? What's the court? 81 00:04:05,668 --> 00:04:07,628 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that there's no smoke to 82 00:04:07,708 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 1: that fire. And if Richardson's sitting there at fourteen, just 83 00:04:11,468 --> 00:04:15,148 Speaker 1: as Mac Jones was sitting there at fifteen, I would 84 00:04:15,188 --> 00:04:17,508 Speaker 1: not be surprised that Friday morning we come out of me. 85 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:20,268 Speaker 1: I can't believe that. I wouldn't say it. Richardson's a prospect, 86 00:04:20,308 --> 00:04:21,828 Speaker 1: and I think Mike go in the top five. If 87 00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:24,268 Speaker 1: he slips to fourteen, yeah, the Patriots should take him, 88 00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:26,068 Speaker 1: or they should at least consider it. But all the 89 00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:27,948 Speaker 1: smoke coming out of there, I don't think Mac has 90 00:04:27,948 --> 00:04:30,228 Speaker 1: done many favors last year. And if suddenly you're like, hey, 91 00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:31,548 Speaker 1: he's not what we want, well, why don't we give 92 00:04:31,588 --> 00:04:33,868 Speaker 1: him a year with some actual coaching and some surrounding 93 00:04:33,868 --> 00:04:35,828 Speaker 1: pieces that we say, all right, this is a fair 94 00:04:35,828 --> 00:04:37,868 Speaker 1: shot at it. In your number three, thank you, the 95 00:04:37,908 --> 00:04:39,508 Speaker 1: way you just ended is where I want to pick 96 00:04:39,588 --> 00:04:42,028 Speaker 1: up from. I think for Mac Jones, you look at 97 00:04:42,068 --> 00:04:44,148 Speaker 1: last year and you just talked about it. Matt Patricia 98 00:04:44,188 --> 00:04:46,388 Speaker 1: and Joe Judge being asked to coach on the offensive 99 00:04:46,388 --> 00:04:49,188 Speaker 1: side of the ball and just kind of figure things out. 100 00:04:49,428 --> 00:04:52,188 Speaker 1: And obviously he struggled. I think any player would only 101 00:04:52,188 --> 00:04:54,548 Speaker 1: in his second year, still learning what it means to 102 00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:57,188 Speaker 1: be a pro, and you lose the main voice that 103 00:04:57,268 --> 00:04:59,468 Speaker 1: you heard in your rookie year. And when we look 104 00:04:59,468 --> 00:05:01,268 Speaker 1: at Mac Jones, I want to take a look back 105 00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:03,548 Speaker 1: to his rookie year because it's not only the smoke 106 00:05:03,588 --> 00:05:05,588 Speaker 1: of the reports come out of Fox Bro, but there's 107 00:05:05,628 --> 00:05:07,628 Speaker 1: a lot of fans as well, like we need to 108 00:05:07,628 --> 00:05:10,628 Speaker 1: play Zappy, we need to go get Lamar Jackson. Mac 109 00:05:10,708 --> 00:05:13,188 Speaker 1: Jones was really good as a rookie. He came in 110 00:05:13,508 --> 00:05:16,108 Speaker 1: after Brady Leves, Cam Newton comes from a year, took 111 00:05:16,188 --> 00:05:18,388 Speaker 1: him on his seven game win streak, and look at 112 00:05:18,388 --> 00:05:20,908 Speaker 1: where his numbers play some of quarterbacks in the NFL 113 00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:23,588 Speaker 1: during that street. Mac Jones had ten wins in his 114 00:05:23,668 --> 00:05:27,268 Speaker 1: rookie season. Let all rookies in passing yards and touchdowns. 115 00:05:27,508 --> 00:05:30,428 Speaker 1: This guy was unbelievable and skies was a limit after 116 00:05:30,428 --> 00:05:33,188 Speaker 1: his rookie year. And I love Joe Judge and I 117 00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:36,068 Speaker 1: love Matt Patricia. They're two really good football coaches, but 118 00:05:36,108 --> 00:05:38,468 Speaker 1: as they take over an offense and they were kind 119 00:05:38,508 --> 00:05:41,508 Speaker 1: of co coordinators, quarterback coaches positions that they hadn't held. 120 00:05:41,868 --> 00:05:44,708 Speaker 1: It's not fair to Mac Jones. And we've heard Robert 121 00:05:44,788 --> 00:05:46,548 Speaker 1: Kraft come out as the owner and say he really 122 00:05:46,588 --> 00:05:48,868 Speaker 1: likes Mac Jones and he said we didn't do him 123 00:05:48,908 --> 00:05:51,668 Speaker 1: any favors in his second year. So I think these 124 00:05:51,748 --> 00:05:54,028 Speaker 1: rumblings and everything we're here, we need to slow down. 125 00:05:54,308 --> 00:05:56,828 Speaker 1: Let's see what Mac Jones does in year three with 126 00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:59,028 Speaker 1: a guy like Bill O'Brien coming back, who is a 127 00:05:59,028 --> 00:06:01,748 Speaker 1: ton of experience, a ton of success in the NFL, 128 00:06:01,868 --> 00:06:04,188 Speaker 1: in the college ranks, and let's see what Mac is 129 00:06:04,188 --> 00:06:07,268 Speaker 1: able to do in his third year as quarterback for 130 00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:09,988 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Let's see how he overcomes all 131 00:06:10,028 --> 00:06:12,988 Speaker 1: this adversity of all the conversations being had and all 132 00:06:13,028 --> 00:06:15,388 Speaker 1: of these different things. But be careful what you wish 133 00:06:15,428 --> 00:06:18,068 Speaker 1: for and hopes of there's something better on the other side. 134 00:06:18,068 --> 00:06:20,708 Speaker 1: That the grass is greener because Mac was really good 135 00:06:20,748 --> 00:06:22,428 Speaker 1: in his rookie year. Let's see what it can become. 136 00:06:22,628 --> 00:06:24,988 Speaker 1: We were at the annual meeting. They're still entertaining the 137 00:06:24,988 --> 00:06:27,668 Speaker 1: Bailey Zappie conversation. And so everyone will get a chance 138 00:06:27,708 --> 00:06:29,988 Speaker 1: to play. Wow. I think it's fascinating that we are 139 00:06:30,028 --> 00:06:32,508 Speaker 1: headed into this football season and the Patriots are projected 140 00:06:32,548 --> 00:06:35,028 Speaker 1: as fourth in the division. They're also the least interesting, 141 00:06:35,148 --> 00:06:38,908 Speaker 1: least dangerous team the division that goes back twenty five years, Like, 142 00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:41,828 Speaker 1: we have not talked about that, maybe even since the nineties. 143 00:06:42,188 --> 00:06:43,908 Speaker 1: I full love a headline from two thousand and one. 144 00:06:43,948 --> 00:06:45,468 Speaker 1: Of course, the Patriots want to win the Super Al 145 00:06:45,508 --> 00:06:47,148 Speaker 1: that year, but the headline going to the season from 146 00:06:47,188 --> 00:06:50,028 Speaker 1: the Gazette Journal was in Boston, baseball and basketball are 147 00:06:50,028 --> 00:06:51,948 Speaker 1: the only things that matter. Football is just a little 148 00:06:51,988 --> 00:06:54,708 Speaker 1: diversion between the Red Sox and the Celtics season. The 149 00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,828 Speaker 1: Celtics right now are second in the East, Jason Tatums 150 00:06:56,828 --> 00:06:59,588 Speaker 1: putting up thirty points the Bruins of one eleven of twelve, Like, 151 00:06:59,748 --> 00:07:01,668 Speaker 1: is there any buzz at all about the New England 152 00:07:01,668 --> 00:07:04,788 Speaker 1: Patriots right now? Devin mccordy, an all time player, just tired, 153 00:07:04,788 --> 00:07:06,788 Speaker 1: and it's like, maybe we'll start over and then the 154 00:07:06,868 --> 00:07:08,748 Speaker 1: leather teams are just gonna run rough shot on us. 155 00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:11,508 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen on Belichick's watch. I'm watching a 156 00:07:11,548 --> 00:07:16,508 Speaker 1: succession last night that's Belichick. He's Logan Roy, that's the guy. 157 00:07:16,668 --> 00:07:18,868 Speaker 1: He built this empire. He's at the end of the line, 158 00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:21,508 Speaker 1: and you got these kids just nipping at him. And 159 00:07:21,548 --> 00:07:24,868 Speaker 1: the Bills are Kendall like the kind of prince in waiting. 160 00:07:25,228 --> 00:07:28,628 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are Shiv planning, smart, savvy, which you make 161 00:07:28,628 --> 00:07:31,148 Speaker 1: the Jets Roman a lot of jokes about them, But 162 00:07:31,228 --> 00:07:32,828 Speaker 1: you know he might have some tricks up his sleeve 163 00:07:32,868 --> 00:07:35,508 Speaker 1: at the end they explode any rockets, I don't know. 164 00:07:36,428 --> 00:07:39,988 Speaker 1: But the kids all basically just want the dad to die, 165 00:07:40,508 --> 00:07:42,308 Speaker 1: just light down and die and let us take over. 166 00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:45,108 Speaker 1: And he bleeping won't. And he's rolling up his sleeves 167 00:07:45,148 --> 00:07:47,108 Speaker 1: and you know what, Belichick's not gonna do. He's not 168 00:07:47,108 --> 00:07:49,388 Speaker 1: gonna do nothing. There's something coming And it was a 169 00:07:49,388 --> 00:07:51,348 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. It was a spend spend, spend, 170 00:07:51,348 --> 00:07:54,108 Speaker 1: spend spend, and that didn't really work out. If he 171 00:07:54,228 --> 00:07:57,348 Speaker 1: doesn't think that the mac Jones deal is going to 172 00:07:57,388 --> 00:07:59,308 Speaker 1: get him a title, is going to get him back 173 00:07:59,348 --> 00:08:02,468 Speaker 1: where he belongs, get him out, get busy living, to 174 00:08:02,508 --> 00:08:05,028 Speaker 1: get busy dying. I do not think the last chapter 175 00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:07,548 Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick's career is going to be him lying 176 00:08:07,628 --> 00:08:10,508 Speaker 1: around lazily going to seven and ten and letting the 177 00:08:10,548 --> 00:08:12,948 Speaker 1: Bills and Dolphins and all these young coaches, young quarterbacks 178 00:08:12,988 --> 00:08:15,348 Speaker 1: just usher him out the door. Like this is like 179 00:08:15,468 --> 00:08:17,468 Speaker 1: Richard the Third type stuff going on here, where like 180 00:08:17,548 --> 00:08:19,668 Speaker 1: he will have his revenge and he will do something, 181 00:08:19,668 --> 00:08:21,708 Speaker 1: even if it's nuclear, even if it's trading up and 182 00:08:21,748 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 1: getting the quarterback and cutting this person. These guys don't 183 00:08:24,188 --> 00:08:26,388 Speaker 1: take losing. Well, look what McBay just did, just cleaned 184 00:08:26,428 --> 00:08:28,708 Speaker 1: house and his entire coaches. You're out. You're out for 185 00:08:28,748 --> 00:08:30,428 Speaker 1: one losing seasons. You know who I think is more 186 00:08:30,428 --> 00:08:32,828 Speaker 1: restless than even Logan Roy Bill Belichick. I think Bob 187 00:08:32,908 --> 00:08:35,228 Speaker 1: Kraft is more restless. I think Bob Kraft is looking 188 00:08:35,268 --> 00:08:36,868 Speaker 1: at this team and it's saying, I don't enjoy this 189 00:08:36,908 --> 00:08:38,428 Speaker 1: at the moment. I don't like being the team in 190 00:08:38,468 --> 00:08:41,388 Speaker 1: the middle of the pack. And the patriarch is obviously 191 00:08:41,428 --> 00:08:43,668 Speaker 1: in the coaching staff Bill Belichick, but I also think 192 00:08:43,708 --> 00:08:45,708 Speaker 1: the owner is like, let's get it going here, so 193 00:08:45,748 --> 00:08:47,188 Speaker 1: there might be some pressure to do it. We had 194 00:08:47,268 --> 00:08:49,788 Speaker 1: Judon here, Matthew Judon set here for two days and 195 00:08:49,828 --> 00:08:51,988 Speaker 1: we're just asking him, can you win the division with 196 00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:54,748 Speaker 1: Mac Jones? Seriously? He's like, our defense is really good. 197 00:08:54,948 --> 00:08:56,668 Speaker 1: That's not what I ask Matt. I know your defense 198 00:08:56,748 --> 00:08:58,988 Speaker 1: is good. This is this is a little regime here 199 00:08:59,028 --> 00:09:02,108 Speaker 1: of defense and running the ball, gonna beat that Bills, 200 00:09:02,188 --> 00:09:04,068 Speaker 1: And I don't know, there may have to be some 201 00:09:04,548 --> 00:09:07,628 Speaker 1: madic things done, and there's nothing more dramatic than switching quarterbacks. 202 00:09:07,788 --> 00:09:10,508 Speaker 1: I really chuckle when Devin mccorty retired, not because he retired, 203 00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:13,908 Speaker 1: but because of ten immediate tweets following one of the 204 00:09:13,948 --> 00:09:17,188 Speaker 1: congratulatory announcements that the Patriots put out about Devin mccorty 205 00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:19,868 Speaker 1: and his illustrious career in New England. Nine of those 206 00:09:19,868 --> 00:09:22,988 Speaker 1: tweets were fans calling would do something in free agency. 207 00:09:23,028 --> 00:09:25,108 Speaker 1: It was like, we get it, he's retired. We love 208 00:09:25,188 --> 00:09:27,268 Speaker 1: the guy, but he's not our guy anymore, and he's 209 00:09:27,308 --> 00:09:29,828 Speaker 1: choosing that and that's okay. But it was incredible that 210 00:09:29,908 --> 00:09:32,308 Speaker 1: in that moment in time, this was a few weeks ago, 211 00:09:32,588 --> 00:09:35,548 Speaker 1: how restless the fans were. I also found it incredibly 212 00:09:35,548 --> 00:09:38,268 Speaker 1: compelling at the league meeting that you have John Harbaugh 213 00:09:38,348 --> 00:09:41,788 Speaker 1: sitting there answering, I love Lamar Jackson two hundred percent, 214 00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:43,188 Speaker 1: a guy that he doesn't even know if he's going 215 00:09:43,228 --> 00:09:45,628 Speaker 1: to have back. And when you choose to not say 216 00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:48,788 Speaker 1: something about somebody, and how Bill Belichick says, everyone's gonna play, 217 00:09:48,828 --> 00:09:50,628 Speaker 1: and I've had twenty five years of this, Trust me 218 00:09:50,668 --> 00:09:52,948 Speaker 1: with what I'm doing. He chose not to speak Kylie 219 00:09:52,948 --> 00:09:54,828 Speaker 1: of mac Jones in a situation like that, I'm sure 220 00:09:54,868 --> 00:09:57,828 Speaker 1: he was asked. But when something, especially somebody is cunning 221 00:09:57,908 --> 00:10:01,628 Speaker 1: as him Bill Belichick, when he chooses to not rain 222 00:10:01,748 --> 00:10:04,468 Speaker 1: down adoration of one of his players, I think he 223 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:07,188 Speaker 1: does it with intention. Mac Jeons doesn't help himself either. 224 00:10:07,228 --> 00:10:08,988 Speaker 1: I think with some of his stuff that they're single 225 00:10:09,228 --> 00:10:11,028 Speaker 1: had a curiosity's sake. What do you think do you 226 00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:12,988 Speaker 1: think there's a market, like you say, Lamar Jackson, is 227 00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:14,308 Speaker 1: there a market? Do you think there's a market for 228 00:10:14,388 --> 00:10:15,548 Speaker 1: mac Jones? Do you think if you were to say, 229 00:10:15,588 --> 00:10:17,188 Speaker 1: let's put Martin mac Jones on the block, do you 230 00:10:17,228 --> 00:10:19,748 Speaker 1: get anything back? Or is that a third fourth round pick? 231 00:10:19,748 --> 00:10:21,908 Speaker 1: At this point, I'm looking around the FC and I'm like, 232 00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:23,628 Speaker 1: I got to compete with Burrow and Ali my homes 233 00:10:23,628 --> 00:10:25,428 Speaker 1: Like am I loading up with mac Jones and having 234 00:10:25,468 --> 00:10:27,388 Speaker 1: him to throw forty five? It doesn't entice me If 235 00:10:27,428 --> 00:10:29,268 Speaker 1: there's one team that I saw on the list that 236 00:10:29,348 --> 00:10:32,148 Speaker 1: I think would work was the Texans because again I say, 237 00:10:32,148 --> 00:10:34,668 Speaker 1: I feel that Demika Ryans could create a jugger and 238 00:10:34,708 --> 00:10:37,028 Speaker 1: out there defensively for what he is equipped with doing 239 00:10:37,028 --> 00:10:39,188 Speaker 1: in his history. Go out and get a quarterback like that. 240 00:10:39,228 --> 00:10:41,388 Speaker 1: You don't have to waste that top pick on a quarterback. 241 00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:43,268 Speaker 1: Mac is young enough that I feel like there are 242 00:10:43,308 --> 00:10:45,388 Speaker 1: still people that were in love with him coming out 243 00:10:45,428 --> 00:10:47,748 Speaker 1: for the draft that may believe, hey, from what he 244 00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:50,388 Speaker 1: did his rookie year, if we get him in our system, 245 00:10:50,468 --> 00:10:52,788 Speaker 1: we think sky's a limit for him. He doesn't jump 246 00:10:52,828 --> 00:10:55,268 Speaker 1: off as that talented to me. I mean, he's talented, 247 00:10:55,268 --> 00:10:57,468 Speaker 1: of course, but he's just he's going against these unicorns, 248 00:10:57,548 --> 00:10:59,708 Speaker 1: no doubt about one. There's just only a few of them. 249 00:11:00,108 --> 00:11:02,948 Speaker 1: So it's just unless you believe Anthony Richardson is that 250 00:11:03,108 --> 00:11:05,228 Speaker 1: unicorn and not just a good player that can start 251 00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:08,388 Speaker 1: for our NFL team, but a Joe Burrow, a Patrick Mahomes. 252 00:11:08,628 --> 00:11:11,708 Speaker 1: Once we insert him, he's changing the entire franchise. Is 253 00:11:11,748 --> 00:11:14,748 Speaker 1: just like this has been Mac Jones's lot in life. 254 00:11:14,788 --> 00:11:17,828 Speaker 1: Though at Alabama he played behind Jalen Hurtz and to 255 00:11:17,908 --> 00:11:20,228 Speaker 1: a tongue of violoa, he was the fifth quarterback I 256 00:11:20,228 --> 00:11:21,948 Speaker 1: think on the list at one point when he was 257 00:11:21,948 --> 00:11:23,468 Speaker 1: at Alabama, and then for him to come out and 258 00:11:23,508 --> 00:11:25,948 Speaker 1: have a single season that earned himself away into being 259 00:11:25,948 --> 00:11:28,348 Speaker 1: a top round pick. I mean, he's not uncomfortable I 260 00:11:28,348 --> 00:11:31,108 Speaker 1: think whatsoever with being a guy without a ton of weapons. 261 00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:32,508 Speaker 1: It's not like he was throwing a ball at a 262 00:11:32,588 --> 00:11:35,708 Speaker 1: Randy Moss out there in his room last year. Right now, exactly, Yeah, 263 00:11:35,908 --> 00:11:38,708 Speaker 1: it's time out for a big deal or no big deal. 264 00:11:38,748 --> 00:11:41,468 Speaker 1: We're going to start with Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. He 265 00:11:41,508 --> 00:11:44,508 Speaker 1: has been talk of the draft since the combine. Richardson 266 00:11:44,548 --> 00:11:47,428 Speaker 1: expected to meet with a few teams ahead of the draft, including, 267 00:11:47,788 --> 00:11:51,428 Speaker 1: drum roll, the Baltimore Ravens. Anthony Richardson meeting with the 268 00:11:51,508 --> 00:11:54,748 Speaker 1: Ravens in light of everything going on with Lamar Jackson situation. 269 00:11:55,108 --> 00:11:56,748 Speaker 1: Is that a big deal, Peter or is that no 270 00:11:56,788 --> 00:12:00,268 Speaker 1: big deal? Big deal? You don't meet, you only get 271 00:12:00,308 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 1: thirty visits. You don't meet with a quarterback if you 272 00:12:02,868 --> 00:12:05,228 Speaker 1: have one in your security. Use those thirty visits to 273 00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:08,148 Speaker 1: look at different positions that you might want to address. 274 00:12:08,188 --> 00:12:09,988 Speaker 1: You know, the Ravens, they have a lot of needs 275 00:12:10,028 --> 00:12:12,268 Speaker 1: other than quarterback as well. And I would think that 276 00:12:12,348 --> 00:12:15,148 Speaker 1: the meeting with Richardson is not only a statement within 277 00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:17,508 Speaker 1: the building of hey, we've got to consider different quarterback options. 278 00:12:17,548 --> 00:12:20,228 Speaker 1: It's a statement to Lamar. It's a statement to Lamar saying, hey, 279 00:12:20,468 --> 00:12:22,988 Speaker 1: we need to start thinking about continguency plans as well. 280 00:12:23,028 --> 00:12:25,108 Speaker 1: I think it is a big deal. I don't poo 281 00:12:25,188 --> 00:12:27,468 Speaker 1: poo just visits because hey, they want to take information 282 00:12:27,468 --> 00:12:29,348 Speaker 1: from the guy. No, the Ravens, they have no chance 283 00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:31,508 Speaker 1: of getting Anthony Richardson where they are right now, sitting 284 00:12:31,508 --> 00:12:33,268 Speaker 1: at twenty two. They have to move up to do it. 285 00:12:33,588 --> 00:12:34,988 Speaker 1: And if they're gonna move up to do it, that 286 00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:38,868 Speaker 1: probably means he's their starting quarterback moving forward, not Lamar Jackson. Yeah, 287 00:12:38,908 --> 00:12:40,828 Speaker 1: I'm ready with Peter. I think this is a huge 288 00:12:40,868 --> 00:12:44,148 Speaker 1: deal for Baltimore. The whole entire offseason, the conversations I've 289 00:12:44,188 --> 00:12:47,188 Speaker 1: been sentering around them and their quarterback and Lamar Jackson. 290 00:12:47,228 --> 00:12:49,348 Speaker 1: So if they're taking the time to bring in Richardson, 291 00:12:49,548 --> 00:12:51,428 Speaker 1: and he already said he says he's looking forward to 292 00:12:51,468 --> 00:12:54,428 Speaker 1: April twenty seven, because Lord knows what can happen the 293 00:12:54,588 --> 00:12:57,388 Speaker 1: day and night of the draft. So this is exciting 294 00:12:57,428 --> 00:12:59,708 Speaker 1: to see I still do think Lamar has to be 295 00:12:59,748 --> 00:13:01,828 Speaker 1: a priority for them. I don't think Richardson is a 296 00:13:01,828 --> 00:13:03,908 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna come in and just take over and 297 00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:06,548 Speaker 1: start one a ton of games right away. But it 298 00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:09,348 Speaker 1: kind of brings the reality that Lamar may not be 299 00:13:09,468 --> 00:13:11,348 Speaker 1: back and they may have to move on and get 300 00:13:11,388 --> 00:13:13,108 Speaker 1: a guy like Richardson. Let me ask you, you're Lamar 301 00:13:13,188 --> 00:13:14,868 Speaker 1: Jackson this morning, you got our show on, you got 302 00:13:14,908 --> 00:13:17,748 Speaker 1: your Twitter open, of course you're watching this. Does it 303 00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:20,868 Speaker 1: a do anything? Is it move the needle at all 304 00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:22,348 Speaker 1: to you that you see that they're bringing in ball? 305 00:13:22,668 --> 00:13:26,908 Speaker 1: You know Richardson? B Does it shake you up at all? C? 306 00:13:27,628 --> 00:13:30,628 Speaker 1: Does it piss you off? Ah? Doesn't shake me up 307 00:13:30,668 --> 00:13:32,828 Speaker 1: at ALLF I'm Lamar Jackson. I think for him, the 308 00:13:32,908 --> 00:13:35,268 Speaker 1: proof is into putting what he's already done on the field. 309 00:13:35,388 --> 00:13:37,188 Speaker 1: Is just like, Hey, if they go get Richardson and 310 00:13:37,228 --> 00:13:39,028 Speaker 1: I'm out the door, I'm gonna be somewhere. I'm gonna 311 00:13:39,028 --> 00:13:41,468 Speaker 1: be balling on Sundays and I'm gonna make some franchise 312 00:13:41,508 --> 00:13:43,508 Speaker 1: a lot better when I step in the door. He's 313 00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:45,388 Speaker 1: getting his workout in right now with the entire gym. 314 00:13:45,468 --> 00:13:47,708 Speaker 1: He's got us on that little, a giant pad thing 315 00:13:47,748 --> 00:13:50,588 Speaker 1: that's dished. I love the entire gym. Peter, You've missed it. 316 00:13:50,588 --> 00:13:52,508 Speaker 1: It's no big deal if they just you know, meet 317 00:13:52,548 --> 00:13:53,988 Speaker 1: with him. Nice to meet you. How are you a 318 00:13:54,028 --> 00:13:55,628 Speaker 1: great player? It's a big deal if they turn it 319 00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:57,628 Speaker 1: into a war tactic. I want them to go big 320 00:13:57,668 --> 00:13:59,788 Speaker 1: on this. You know who's really operative in this, whoever 321 00:13:59,868 --> 00:14:02,988 Speaker 1: runs Baltimore Ravens Twitter. I want pictures, I want video, 322 00:14:03,308 --> 00:14:05,148 Speaker 1: I want hand shade because I want them to do 323 00:14:05,188 --> 00:14:07,788 Speaker 1: the whole Like walk into M ANDT Bank Stadium now 324 00:14:07,868 --> 00:14:11,708 Speaker 1: at quarterback Anthony Richards just completely college style. Yeah, I know, 325 00:14:11,948 --> 00:14:13,748 Speaker 1: I know. That's why I'm here for it. I want 326 00:14:13,788 --> 00:14:15,988 Speaker 1: to see this produced and I want this put out, 327 00:14:16,028 --> 00:14:18,028 Speaker 1: Like look at us, We're going on a date and 328 00:14:18,068 --> 00:14:20,148 Speaker 1: maybe we'll go out with this person long term. You 329 00:14:20,188 --> 00:14:22,228 Speaker 1: want to get back in here negotiations. I think you 330 00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 1: have to sell it. I think it is a war tactic. 331 00:14:24,508 --> 00:14:26,348 Speaker 1: I think it is. We're in it now, we're weeks 332 00:14:26,348 --> 00:14:28,308 Speaker 1: away from the draft. The gloves are off. I think 333 00:14:28,308 --> 00:14:29,948 Speaker 1: you meet with them, and I think you let everyone 334 00:14:29,948 --> 00:14:31,868 Speaker 1: know you're meeting with them and you love them. Mine 335 00:14:31,948 --> 00:14:34,308 Speaker 1: is a very specific big deal as well, if the 336 00:14:34,428 --> 00:14:38,828 Speaker 1: Ravens trade up and that trade involves shipping Lamar Jackson 337 00:14:38,948 --> 00:14:41,628 Speaker 1: out with that trade to go to the tech Hey 338 00:14:41,868 --> 00:14:43,908 Speaker 1: go to the Texans. Texans will take your pick and 339 00:14:43,948 --> 00:14:46,468 Speaker 1: we'll take Anthony richardson ers. If it's a big deal 340 00:14:46,508 --> 00:14:50,468 Speaker 1: to me. If this visit then implies it green lights 341 00:14:50,468 --> 00:14:53,068 Speaker 1: something that involves Lamar going somewhere else, That's why I 342 00:14:53,068 --> 00:14:54,708 Speaker 1: would fire me up a while Somemar jacks would be 343 00:14:54,708 --> 00:14:57,788 Speaker 1: like great options, Please keep the options coming, because it 344 00:14:57,788 --> 00:14:59,988 Speaker 1: would imply also that the feelings have been too hurt. 345 00:15:00,028 --> 00:15:02,108 Speaker 1: The burges have been burned in Baltimore. But a story 346 00:15:02,148 --> 00:15:06,828 Speaker 1: coming up, the countdown, your prospects is rising and who's 347 00:15:06,868 --> 00:15:09,068 Speaker 1: this falling? We're going to dig into that later on. 348 00:15:09,268 --> 00:15:12,268 Speaker 1: Watch the draft on Friday night. What are we doing right? 349 00:15:12,348 --> 00:15:29,468 Speaker 1: Don't take away from corego what's up? We're back in 350 00:15:29,508 --> 00:15:32,348 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, signed for a whiteboard Wednesday. Our GMFB 351 00:15:32,548 --> 00:15:35,508 Speaker 1: band is back together on our reunion tour and I 352 00:15:35,508 --> 00:15:37,388 Speaker 1: can't get rid of us. Now. How did the NFL draft? 353 00:15:37,508 --> 00:15:40,708 Speaker 1: Chiefs running back Pecko had an impressive or key season, 354 00:15:40,948 --> 00:15:43,228 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he's slowing down as he should not, 355 00:15:43,268 --> 00:15:46,268 Speaker 1: Pocheco told reporters recently quote I still think there's more 356 00:15:46,348 --> 00:15:49,268 Speaker 1: to improve when asked about his goals for his second season. 357 00:15:49,468 --> 00:15:52,148 Speaker 1: The player that you think entering his second year will 358 00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:55,308 Speaker 1: have the biggest improvement is as follows Peter. I think 359 00:15:55,308 --> 00:15:58,268 Speaker 1: there's such a difference from year one as an NFL 360 00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:01,588 Speaker 1: player to year two. You start to get your grip, 361 00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,868 Speaker 1: you understand your way around the facility, you understand the 362 00:16:03,868 --> 00:16:05,668 Speaker 1: grind of the season, and in a lot of cases, 363 00:16:05,668 --> 00:16:08,148 Speaker 1: you're finally getting the number one reps. The NFC South 364 00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:09,868 Speaker 1: is wide open, and the Atlanta Falcons could have done 365 00:16:09,868 --> 00:16:11,668 Speaker 1: a lot of things at quarterback, and they're sticking by 366 00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:15,148 Speaker 1: their guy. I'm going with Desmond Ritter, their third round 367 00:16:15,148 --> 00:16:18,628 Speaker 1: pick from a year ago, who Arthur Smith is putting 368 00:16:18,748 --> 00:16:21,308 Speaker 1: his name behind and saying, we don't need Lamar Jackson, 369 00:16:21,388 --> 00:16:23,748 Speaker 1: we don't need to go make a play for Jimmy Garoppolo. 370 00:16:23,828 --> 00:16:26,548 Speaker 1: We're not out there looking a trade for Tannehill, who 371 00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:30,508 Speaker 1: Arthur had in Tennessee for years. I think Desmond Ritter 372 00:16:30,948 --> 00:16:33,148 Speaker 1: not only is he gonna make an improvement, he has 373 00:16:33,228 --> 00:16:35,948 Speaker 1: to be much improved because there are expectations in Atlanta 374 00:16:35,988 --> 00:16:38,028 Speaker 1: that with what they brought in and clay Is Campbell 375 00:16:38,068 --> 00:16:39,988 Speaker 1: signing this week like a veteran player looking for a 376 00:16:40,068 --> 00:16:44,428 Speaker 1: ring going to the Atlanta Falcons. Desmond Ritter has to 377 00:16:44,468 --> 00:16:45,988 Speaker 1: be better, It has to be more improved. He showed 378 00:16:45,988 --> 00:16:48,228 Speaker 1: flashes at the end, but he was by no means 379 00:16:48,668 --> 00:16:51,508 Speaker 1: a no brainer. This is our guy. They must know 380 00:16:51,588 --> 00:16:53,468 Speaker 1: something that we don't from based on the film last year, 381 00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:56,428 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter, I expect massive improvement. Otherwise they would have 382 00:16:56,428 --> 00:16:58,668 Speaker 1: made a move this Mangy. Yeah, we all were sitting 383 00:16:58,668 --> 00:17:00,708 Speaker 1: there saying, hey, Lamar Jackson would be the perfect fit 384 00:17:00,748 --> 00:17:03,228 Speaker 1: for Atlanta, and they stayed put. I'm going up in 385 00:17:03,268 --> 00:17:07,108 Speaker 1: Buffalo and I'm going with the Jim Bow aka James Cook. 386 00:17:07,428 --> 00:17:09,788 Speaker 1: This is a guy they drafted out of Georgia last year. 387 00:17:09,828 --> 00:17:12,748 Speaker 1: And we've already heard Sean McDermott say, hey, my quarterback 388 00:17:12,788 --> 00:17:15,628 Speaker 1: can't keep playing the way that he plays the game, 389 00:17:15,828 --> 00:17:17,868 Speaker 1: so hey, why not hand the ball off a little 390 00:17:17,868 --> 00:17:20,148 Speaker 1: bit more and get the ball in the hands of 391 00:17:20,228 --> 00:17:22,788 Speaker 1: James Cook. He had switched from twenty eight to number four, 392 00:17:22,908 --> 00:17:26,628 Speaker 1: matching his brother Dalvin up in Minnesota. And I know 393 00:17:26,708 --> 00:17:29,548 Speaker 1: they signed Damian Harris over from the New England Patriots, 394 00:17:29,588 --> 00:17:32,068 Speaker 1: but I still think there's an opportunity for James Cook 395 00:17:32,148 --> 00:17:34,348 Speaker 1: to be the guy. When they drafted him in the 396 00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:37,388 Speaker 1: second round last year, they knew Singletary was going into 397 00:17:37,388 --> 00:17:39,268 Speaker 1: the last year of his deal, and this is an 398 00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:41,748 Speaker 1: opportunity for Cook, who came on later in the season 399 00:17:41,868 --> 00:17:44,428 Speaker 1: last year, to really take the reins of this RB 400 00:17:44,588 --> 00:17:46,748 Speaker 1: one position. And he's a guy in the open field. 401 00:17:46,748 --> 00:17:48,948 Speaker 1: When he gets it, he's dangerous. So I can't wait 402 00:17:48,988 --> 00:17:51,028 Speaker 1: to see what he does this upcoming season. Both your 403 00:17:51,068 --> 00:17:53,468 Speaker 1: guys to start both feel like a they better kind 404 00:17:53,508 --> 00:17:56,508 Speaker 1: of guys. I don't know if this is that scenario 405 00:17:56,588 --> 00:17:58,188 Speaker 1: for the Lions, but the Lions have a lot of 406 00:17:58,188 --> 00:18:00,388 Speaker 1: heat on them right now, and it would be better 407 00:18:00,508 --> 00:18:02,708 Speaker 1: for the Lions if Jamison Williams came on hot in 408 00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:04,988 Speaker 1: the second season. The wide receiver out of Ohio State 409 00:18:05,028 --> 00:18:07,988 Speaker 1: transferred to Alabama towards acl at the end of Alabama's 410 00:18:08,028 --> 00:18:10,268 Speaker 1: championship year, so they took him a beat to come 411 00:18:10,308 --> 00:18:13,468 Speaker 1: back through his first season. But recently he's been posting 412 00:18:13,468 --> 00:18:15,228 Speaker 1: pictures on Instagram that he's working out with I'm on 413 00:18:15,348 --> 00:18:17,668 Speaker 1: Ross Saint Brown his I'm and Ross Saint Brown's dad 414 00:18:17,668 --> 00:18:20,188 Speaker 1: as a trainer, and we always formed a universe of course, 415 00:18:20,188 --> 00:18:22,588 Speaker 1: so he feels like he's in the right hands. I 416 00:18:22,588 --> 00:18:24,268 Speaker 1: think it's a good thing, Jay, if guys are hanging 417 00:18:24,268 --> 00:18:26,548 Speaker 1: out in the offseason and getting work in. He's a 418 00:18:26,908 --> 00:18:28,628 Speaker 1: great talent, but we didn't see a lot of him 419 00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:30,788 Speaker 1: last year, and man, it would be great for Jared Goffe. 420 00:18:30,948 --> 00:18:33,108 Speaker 1: James Williams came on in a sophomore season. Hell. Yes, 421 00:18:33,548 --> 00:18:35,428 Speaker 1: I was in a hotel at the Super Bowl and 422 00:18:35,508 --> 00:18:37,748 Speaker 1: I was in the elevator and there's a guy I him. 423 00:18:37,788 --> 00:18:39,588 Speaker 1: Who's that Who's I know that player? I know that player, 424 00:18:39,588 --> 00:18:41,068 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at him, looking him and after a 425 00:18:41,108 --> 00:18:42,828 Speaker 1: while in the door up as he goes, Hey Kyle, 426 00:18:42,868 --> 00:18:45,068 Speaker 1: I'm on ra, how are you doing? Man? Love the show? Yeah, 427 00:18:46,148 --> 00:18:48,988 Speaker 1: I knew that said love the show. I thought it 428 00:18:49,028 --> 00:18:51,148 Speaker 1: was so cool. Don't forget every once in a while, guys, 429 00:18:51,308 --> 00:18:53,788 Speaker 1: don't forget to check in on the Steelers. Kenny Pickett 430 00:18:53,868 --> 00:18:56,348 Speaker 1: right here, guys, it is a there's a lot more 431 00:18:56,468 --> 00:18:59,868 Speaker 1: interesting teams right now, little sex year teams, just understand them. 432 00:18:59,868 --> 00:19:01,908 Speaker 1: In the last eight games of the season, we weren't 433 00:19:01,948 --> 00:19:04,308 Speaker 1: talking a ton of Steelers. Last eight games. Kenny pick 434 00:19:04,468 --> 00:19:06,668 Speaker 1: Through one interception in eight games and they went six 435 00:19:06,708 --> 00:19:08,908 Speaker 1: and two and they are poised. They got the seventeen 436 00:19:08,948 --> 00:19:10,708 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. It's one of these middle picks 437 00:19:10,748 --> 00:19:13,428 Speaker 1: that doesn't get talked about much. Don't ever forget to 438 00:19:13,588 --> 00:19:18,268 Speaker 1: check on Carnegie and Rockefeller in the NFL. They are 439 00:19:18,308 --> 00:19:21,028 Speaker 1: always strong, they always matter. You go ahead and chase 440 00:19:21,108 --> 00:19:23,268 Speaker 1: the crafty teams drafting at the top and talk about 441 00:19:23,268 --> 00:19:25,428 Speaker 1: the really great teams from last year. Draft at the end. 442 00:19:25,588 --> 00:19:27,468 Speaker 1: Don't forget Kenny pick and he played really well at 443 00:19:27,468 --> 00:19:28,908 Speaker 1: the end of the last year and Steers came tearing 444 00:19:28,988 --> 00:19:31,108 Speaker 1: down the stretch. Kenny Pickett, big jump. Jason, I think 445 00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:33,188 Speaker 1: you would agree that, especially in our first year on 446 00:19:33,228 --> 00:19:35,308 Speaker 1: the show. Anytime that Kyler Peter say to you like, 447 00:19:35,308 --> 00:19:37,068 Speaker 1: oh that was a good idea, Like oh you really 448 00:19:37,108 --> 00:19:42,228 Speaker 1: deliver that, well, it's like a badge of honor me. Yesterday, Yeah, 449 00:19:42,268 --> 00:19:45,708 Speaker 1: I said garage door defense and Kyle looked at me 450 00:19:45,708 --> 00:19:46,868 Speaker 1: and said, did you just come up with that? And 451 00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:48,628 Speaker 1: I was like it was word vomit and that's what 452 00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:51,508 Speaker 1: came out. So it's in reference to teams that have defenses. 453 00:19:51,548 --> 00:19:53,588 Speaker 1: Now just slam the garage door in a team. Awesome. 454 00:19:53,588 --> 00:19:55,548 Speaker 1: I'm using put him in the garage shut them down. 455 00:19:55,588 --> 00:19:58,068 Speaker 1: You ain't going anywhere. So let's have everybody make up 456 00:19:58,068 --> 00:20:00,068 Speaker 1: a football term. I don't get to go because I 457 00:20:00,108 --> 00:20:01,828 Speaker 1: already came up with mine. What would you like Peter 458 00:20:01,908 --> 00:20:04,668 Speaker 1: to introduce to the football lexicon? Yeah, for you who 459 00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:06,668 Speaker 1: be doing the show. When there's one of these great shootouts, 460 00:20:06,668 --> 00:20:09,028 Speaker 1: So there's big offensive games, I'd say, like, this reminds 461 00:20:09,068 --> 00:20:12,068 Speaker 1: me of a Mountain West game, or this reminds me 462 00:20:12,148 --> 00:20:14,548 Speaker 1: of an Air Corrielle offense. I've got a new one, 463 00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:16,708 Speaker 1: and it's an honor of the passing of one of 464 00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:18,708 Speaker 1: the great college coaches of all time. I'm gonna go 465 00:20:18,748 --> 00:20:20,508 Speaker 1: with this. Anytime we get one of these big shootouts, 466 00:20:21,028 --> 00:20:23,748 Speaker 1: that's a Mike Leach game. That's a Mike Leach game. 467 00:20:23,788 --> 00:20:26,988 Speaker 1: I'm talking about twenty eighteen, the Monday night football game 468 00:20:27,028 --> 00:20:29,468 Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and the Rams that was like fifty 469 00:20:29,548 --> 00:20:33,788 Speaker 1: four fifty one. Any of these big shootouts, let's give 470 00:20:33,948 --> 00:20:36,148 Speaker 1: a shout out to one of the greats, and let's 471 00:20:36,228 --> 00:20:38,708 Speaker 1: always keep his name, and I will I will hold 472 00:20:38,748 --> 00:20:40,468 Speaker 1: myself to this. If we get one of these big 473 00:20:40,548 --> 00:20:42,948 Speaker 1: offensive shootouts next year, you better believe that Monday morning, 474 00:20:42,988 --> 00:20:44,908 Speaker 1: I'm like, this was the Mic Leach game because Mike 475 00:20:44,988 --> 00:20:47,228 Speaker 1: Leach would have appreciated it. And it's also all we 476 00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:49,308 Speaker 1: love about what he brought to the air Raid and 477 00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:51,988 Speaker 1: all that. To say, a Mike Leach game just means 478 00:20:51,988 --> 00:20:54,268 Speaker 1: a ton of points. And of course we miss one 479 00:20:54,308 --> 00:20:56,748 Speaker 1: of the great coaches and personalities that we lost last fall. 480 00:20:56,948 --> 00:20:59,788 Speaker 1: I'm all for that. I'm on another coach. My term 481 00:20:59,828 --> 00:21:03,668 Speaker 1: is going to be smoke and mirrors. Trick plays a plenty, 482 00:21:03,748 --> 00:21:06,668 Speaker 1: and a guy I'm talking about is Andy Read. The 483 00:21:06,748 --> 00:21:09,068 Speaker 1: plays that he comes up with for the defense, we 484 00:21:09,148 --> 00:21:12,028 Speaker 1: call the smoking mirrors because you have no idea what's 485 00:21:12,068 --> 00:21:14,868 Speaker 1: going to happen. And the term smoking mirrors came back 486 00:21:14,908 --> 00:21:18,748 Speaker 1: in seventeen seventy of Johann George Stroufer. He was a 487 00:21:18,828 --> 00:21:21,628 Speaker 1: guy that was conning people possibly I have no idea, 488 00:21:22,028 --> 00:21:23,708 Speaker 1: we'll look it up in the in the break he 489 00:21:23,868 --> 00:21:26,148 Speaker 1: was conning people with coming up with ways of an 490 00:21:26,148 --> 00:21:28,628 Speaker 1: illusion that there was an object floating. He was really 491 00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:32,148 Speaker 1: doing it with a projector screen. That is Andy Reid 492 00:21:32,268 --> 00:21:35,388 Speaker 1: coming up with these amazing plays from snow globe to 493 00:21:35,668 --> 00:21:38,668 Speaker 1: all in between, where you have no idea where the 494 00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:40,868 Speaker 1: ball is gonna be, where's gonna snap and the next 495 00:21:40,908 --> 00:21:43,668 Speaker 1: thing you know, somebody's running at you full speed. Shout 496 00:21:43,708 --> 00:21:46,708 Speaker 1: out to Andy Reid smoking mirrors, Great the creator. I 497 00:21:46,788 --> 00:21:48,668 Speaker 1: think that's some problematic views back in the day on 498 00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:50,628 Speaker 1: a variety of this. Who knows my favorite thing about 499 00:21:50,628 --> 00:21:52,548 Speaker 1: watching Red Zone? You know, I love watching Red Zone. 500 00:21:52,588 --> 00:21:54,908 Speaker 1: Their whole algorithm and their whole operation is based on 501 00:21:55,068 --> 00:21:57,468 Speaker 1: such and such team is getting close. So let's go 502 00:21:57,508 --> 00:21:59,828 Speaker 1: to Carolina, or let's go to Detroit where they're knocking 503 00:21:59,828 --> 00:22:02,028 Speaker 1: on the door. What I love is when they are 504 00:22:02,028 --> 00:22:05,308 Speaker 1: completely caught and prepared and there's a seventy Aaron touchdown 505 00:22:05,468 --> 00:22:07,028 Speaker 1: which I want to call a long TV as a 506 00:22:07,028 --> 00:22:09,988 Speaker 1: Red Zone breaker. Yeah, because then they go and it's 507 00:22:09,988 --> 00:22:13,028 Speaker 1: like alarm, alarm, breakaway from Pittsburgh. We have to take 508 00:22:13,028 --> 00:22:15,748 Speaker 1: you to Green Bay where Aaron Jones and it's like 509 00:22:15,988 --> 00:22:18,948 Speaker 1: Hansen is just like completely frazzled and he locks in 510 00:22:18,988 --> 00:22:20,988 Speaker 1: and you know that producers just say, go to Green Bay. 511 00:22:20,988 --> 00:22:23,268 Speaker 1: Go to Green Bay. It's so fun and it makes 512 00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:25,708 Speaker 1: Red Zone alive. You know, when they punch in another 513 00:22:25,748 --> 00:22:27,668 Speaker 1: one yard touchdown, which I'm all waves from the Lions. 514 00:22:27,668 --> 00:22:29,788 Speaker 1: That's great and it goes for your fantasy squad. But 515 00:22:29,868 --> 00:22:32,348 Speaker 1: I like the long ones that they're not prepared for 516 00:22:32,548 --> 00:22:35,148 Speaker 1: a long touchdown. This sucker broke red zone. It is 517 00:22:35,148 --> 00:22:37,348 Speaker 1: a red zone breaker. That is my new term. I 518 00:22:37,468 --> 00:22:40,628 Speaker 1: like it. I perfectly deliver. All right, Well, let's take 519 00:22:40,668 --> 00:22:42,468 Speaker 1: a look at the top ten picks in the twenty 520 00:22:42,508 --> 00:22:45,628 Speaker 1: twenty three NFL Draft. Our experts are experts, are delivering 521 00:22:45,668 --> 00:22:49,468 Speaker 1: comprehensive breakdowns of every draft need for all thirty two teams. 522 00:22:49,548 --> 00:22:51,428 Speaker 1: Let's focus on one of those teams right now, though. 523 00:22:51,548 --> 00:22:54,308 Speaker 1: Our crew from Path to the Draft take it away 524 00:22:54,348 --> 00:22:57,028 Speaker 1: when we look at it. Friends, welcome to the Path 525 00:22:57,268 --> 00:22:59,668 Speaker 1: to the Draft, set Lewis, Bucky Brooks back here with you, 526 00:22:59,668 --> 00:23:03,348 Speaker 1: and we get to welcome Daniel Jeremiah to the party today. 527 00:23:03,428 --> 00:23:07,268 Speaker 1: As we assut, gentlemen, what the Cardinals are gonna do 528 00:23:07,348 --> 00:23:10,588 Speaker 1: at number three? So obviously the Bears once they moved 529 00:23:10,588 --> 00:23:13,588 Speaker 1: down at number one, Cardinals became maybe a big trade 530 00:23:13,628 --> 00:23:15,308 Speaker 1: target there at three, DJ. What do you think they 531 00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:17,108 Speaker 1: should do? Yeah, I think that's where the draft starts, 532 00:23:17,108 --> 00:23:19,068 Speaker 1: and I think that's what they should do as trade. 533 00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:21,548 Speaker 1: When you look at the roster of the Arizona Cardinals 534 00:23:21,628 --> 00:23:23,348 Speaker 1: might be the worst in the entire league. They are 535 00:23:23,348 --> 00:23:25,588 Speaker 1: in rough shape. They are not one player away. As 536 00:23:25,668 --> 00:23:27,588 Speaker 1: much as I love some of the options they would 537 00:23:27,628 --> 00:23:30,108 Speaker 1: have their picking at number three, assuming two quarterbacks go 538 00:23:30,148 --> 00:23:31,868 Speaker 1: one and two, they need a lot of help, and 539 00:23:31,908 --> 00:23:33,868 Speaker 1: I think if you can slide back, you'll be able 540 00:23:33,868 --> 00:23:36,028 Speaker 1: to get help on both sides of the ball. Especially 541 00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:37,628 Speaker 1: as you look at Kyler Murray's going to be coming 542 00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:39,028 Speaker 1: back from injury. It's going to take a while to 543 00:23:39,068 --> 00:23:40,828 Speaker 1: get him back up and running. I want some more 544 00:23:40,828 --> 00:23:42,828 Speaker 1: pieces in front of him when he does come back. 545 00:23:43,188 --> 00:23:46,308 Speaker 1: And take the Caller Murray conversation, because you talk about 546 00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:47,868 Speaker 1: a team that needs a lot of help, and so 547 00:23:47,988 --> 00:23:49,788 Speaker 1: I just think of your money awesome for it. Maybe 548 00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:53,268 Speaker 1: you have to consider taking a quarterback there, not because 549 00:23:53,348 --> 00:23:55,628 Speaker 1: Cayler Murray isn't a good player, but we talk about 550 00:23:55,668 --> 00:23:57,868 Speaker 1: the best way to build a Super Bowl team is 551 00:23:57,908 --> 00:24:00,628 Speaker 1: with a young quarterback on a cheap deal. So maybe 552 00:24:00,628 --> 00:24:03,068 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity at three to get a dynamic player. 553 00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,068 Speaker 1: Maybe you go for Anthony Rich and find a way 554 00:24:05,108 --> 00:24:07,708 Speaker 1: to auction off Calum Murray, and then you have an 555 00:24:07,708 --> 00:24:10,708 Speaker 1: opportunity to get some assets back to build up your team. Look, 556 00:24:10,748 --> 00:24:13,468 Speaker 1: it may seem far fetch it. Maybe Pine Sky stuff. 557 00:24:13,588 --> 00:24:16,268 Speaker 1: But if you feel like Anthony Richardson is going to 558 00:24:16,308 --> 00:24:18,428 Speaker 1: be a special player, you can make the move now. 559 00:24:18,548 --> 00:24:20,988 Speaker 1: And remember, Jonathan Gannon was a part of the Philadelphia 560 00:24:20,988 --> 00:24:23,868 Speaker 1: Eagles that benefited from having a quarterback in Jalen Hurts 561 00:24:23,948 --> 00:24:26,468 Speaker 1: who replaced Carson Wentz one year. If to sign, he 562 00:24:26,908 --> 00:24:29,988 Speaker 1: signed a big money deal. Seatbelt sign is already on 563 00:24:30,188 --> 00:24:32,628 Speaker 1: at the third overall pick. If that happens in me 564 00:24:32,748 --> 00:24:35,508 Speaker 1: some turbulent water. I'm just saying in Kansas City on 565 00:24:35,548 --> 00:24:38,268 Speaker 1: April twenty seven. Look, I'm only hey, reset the whole 566 00:24:38,348 --> 00:24:40,628 Speaker 1: dang thing. Mal No, it's Buckey's voice goes up in 567 00:24:40,708 --> 00:24:44,948 Speaker 1: octave when he swings for the Fens like this. Well 568 00:24:44,948 --> 00:24:47,708 Speaker 1: he always hits two, so it's not a strikeout guy 569 00:24:47,748 --> 00:24:50,868 Speaker 1: over here. That was good. Just a couple of quick teams, 570 00:24:50,948 --> 00:24:53,268 Speaker 1: by the way, that might trade up if you're the 571 00:24:53,508 --> 00:24:55,148 Speaker 1: Cardinals looking to get out of there, what do you think? 572 00:24:55,188 --> 00:24:57,388 Speaker 1: I think five, seven, eleven. You look at Seattle, you 573 00:24:57,428 --> 00:24:59,548 Speaker 1: look at Vegas, then you look at Tennessee. Those are 574 00:24:59,548 --> 00:25:01,388 Speaker 1: the three teams you can make a strong argument to 575 00:25:01,428 --> 00:25:04,708 Speaker 1: get up and trying to get quarterback three, perhaps at 576 00:25:04,788 --> 00:25:07,508 Speaker 1: number three right there with the Arizona Cardinals. A lot 577 00:25:07,508 --> 00:25:10,948 Speaker 1: of options on the table for the Cardinals franchise. Be 578 00:25:10,988 --> 00:25:13,868 Speaker 1: sure to join us each and every weekday, six pm 579 00:25:13,908 --> 00:25:17,308 Speaker 1: Eastern time right here on path to the draft. Now, 580 00:25:17,548 --> 00:25:19,788 Speaker 1: all right, Peter, let's pick out apart we think about 581 00:25:20,388 --> 00:25:22,988 Speaker 1: in particular what the Cardinal should do at three. Yeah. Look, 582 00:25:23,028 --> 00:25:25,228 Speaker 1: that comment by Daniel Jeremiah is not a hot take 583 00:25:25,308 --> 00:25:27,188 Speaker 1: that he says they have one of the worst rosters 584 00:25:27,188 --> 00:25:29,268 Speaker 1: in football. It is bare bottom right now, and their 585 00:25:29,308 --> 00:25:31,468 Speaker 1: situation is a complete rebuilding. That you have a new 586 00:25:31,508 --> 00:25:34,228 Speaker 1: general manager, a new coach, you've got a quarterback coming 587 00:25:34,268 --> 00:25:37,228 Speaker 1: off an ACL. There is zero expectations for the Cardinals here. 588 00:25:37,308 --> 00:25:39,868 Speaker 1: So to me, I'd say it's take the best player available. Now, 589 00:25:39,948 --> 00:25:42,068 Speaker 1: I don't think Kyler Murray is a tradeable asset at 590 00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:44,468 Speaker 1: the moment. He's got a torn ACL and his contract 591 00:25:44,548 --> 00:25:46,228 Speaker 1: is as big as anybody's in the league. I'm not 592 00:25:46,268 --> 00:25:48,428 Speaker 1: sure anybody's trading for Kyler. So I would think you 593 00:25:48,508 --> 00:25:51,308 Speaker 1: take the best player available, and that's either Will Anderson 594 00:25:51,468 --> 00:25:53,748 Speaker 1: or it's Jalen Carter, whatever you do on their board, 595 00:25:54,188 --> 00:25:55,948 Speaker 1: or your trade back and collect some picks and try 596 00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:58,468 Speaker 1: to build. But quarterback, to me, they're not a quarterback away, 597 00:25:58,468 --> 00:26:00,628 Speaker 1: and I certainly don't think quarterback isn't eat. But I 598 00:26:00,628 --> 00:26:02,108 Speaker 1: like that buck he went for. Yeah, I respect the 599 00:26:02,108 --> 00:26:04,308 Speaker 1: take it. I don't think it's outrageously there the idea 600 00:26:04,428 --> 00:26:05,868 Speaker 1: would do it. The only thing I disagree on is 601 00:26:05,908 --> 00:26:08,388 Speaker 1: they would do it only for reasons of finances that well, 602 00:26:08,428 --> 00:26:10,308 Speaker 1: because you can get a chief quarterback as a rookie. 603 00:26:10,348 --> 00:26:11,788 Speaker 1: If that was the case, then the Bengal should draft 604 00:26:11,788 --> 00:26:13,268 Speaker 1: a quarterback. And there's a lot of stuff that comes 605 00:26:13,308 --> 00:26:15,428 Speaker 1: with Kyle that has nothing to do with his finances, 606 00:26:15,428 --> 00:26:17,108 Speaker 1: and I think if that happened, I think that would 607 00:26:17,108 --> 00:26:18,788 Speaker 1: play a huge role in it. It would be huge. 608 00:26:18,828 --> 00:26:21,028 Speaker 1: And I think to your point where Kyler, we don't 609 00:26:21,068 --> 00:26:22,908 Speaker 1: know what he's gonna be, not only with the injury, 610 00:26:22,948 --> 00:26:24,508 Speaker 1: but kind of what he's shown us on the field. 611 00:26:24,508 --> 00:26:26,988 Speaker 1: We keep saying about the potential. Now, John than Gannon 612 00:26:27,028 --> 00:26:28,348 Speaker 1: did say when he got there, we need to get 613 00:26:28,348 --> 00:26:31,468 Speaker 1: some weapons, and he had gone all over the field. 614 00:26:31,628 --> 00:26:33,948 Speaker 1: So to that point with Daniel jerryma is talking about, 615 00:26:34,108 --> 00:26:35,948 Speaker 1: I think you go for you trade back and you 616 00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:38,228 Speaker 1: get more assets. They're not going to be good next year, 617 00:26:38,388 --> 00:26:40,548 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's playing quarterback. Whether it's a rookie and 618 00:26:40,588 --> 00:26:43,868 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson or obviously when Kyler Murray comes back, get 619 00:26:43,868 --> 00:26:45,868 Speaker 1: as many good players you possibly can. Yeah. For as 620 00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:47,548 Speaker 1: highly as I think of some of the defensive guys 621 00:26:47,548 --> 00:26:50,148 Speaker 1: available in the top five, I think having more options 622 00:26:50,188 --> 00:26:52,108 Speaker 1: than just one guy, they have a lot more problems 623 00:26:52,108 --> 00:26:54,068 Speaker 1: than just getting one edge rusher. And that's what's going 624 00:26:54,148 --> 00:26:56,468 Speaker 1: to change the game. We're still in our game. Things 625 00:26:56,468 --> 00:26:58,508 Speaker 1: will look a lot different for Derek Carr into thus 626 00:26:58,548 --> 00:27:01,708 Speaker 1: twenty three. Which team will have more success is as 627 00:27:01,708 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 1: old one as though. To get to some news out 628 00:27:18,588 --> 00:27:21,788 Speaker 1: of Vegas yesterday, the Raiders signing Brian Hoyer to a 629 00:27:21,788 --> 00:27:26,188 Speaker 1: two year contract. He's heading into his fifteenth season after 630 00:27:26,228 --> 00:27:28,428 Speaker 1: spending the last three in New England, will of course 631 00:27:28,828 --> 00:27:32,788 Speaker 1: be backing up offseason arrival Jimmy Garoppolo. Another newcomer, former 632 00:27:32,908 --> 00:27:35,908 Speaker 1: NFL wide receiver and returnment Danny Mendola, joins the Vegas 633 00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:39,588 Speaker 1: coaching staff. Yer and a Mendola both very familiar with 634 00:27:39,708 --> 00:27:41,948 Speaker 1: Raiders head coach Josh McDaniel's, of course, as his time 635 00:27:41,988 --> 00:27:45,868 Speaker 1: workie for Phil Belichick. Of course, the most noteworthy exit, 636 00:27:45,948 --> 00:27:48,388 Speaker 1: though from Las Vegas, was that of Derek Carr, who 637 00:27:48,388 --> 00:27:50,788 Speaker 1: now calls New Orleans home. It was a very clunky 638 00:27:50,868 --> 00:27:53,708 Speaker 1: exit for Car, and the Raiders certainly hope that they 639 00:27:53,868 --> 00:27:56,428 Speaker 1: got the right guy this time. That led us to wonder, though, 640 00:27:56,468 --> 00:27:59,348 Speaker 1: between these two, the Saints and the Raiders, which team 641 00:27:59,348 --> 00:28:02,068 Speaker 1: has a better shot at immediate success? Is it Berek 642 00:28:02,068 --> 00:28:04,748 Speaker 1: Car's old team his new team? Kyle, we gotta get 643 00:28:04,788 --> 00:28:06,468 Speaker 1: Danny Amndola on the show. It's been way too long 644 00:28:06,548 --> 00:28:08,948 Speaker 1: now coaching. I mean, let's go. Let's go Danny getting 645 00:28:09,108 --> 00:28:10,508 Speaker 1: Let's talk about some Raiders. To watch him on that 646 00:28:10,548 --> 00:28:12,388 Speaker 1: Fox show where he was he was like a he 647 00:28:12,508 --> 00:28:14,868 Speaker 1: was in training for the military and he's competing. He 648 00:28:15,268 --> 00:28:17,708 Speaker 1: knocked out Dwight Howard in the octagon they had they 649 00:28:17,708 --> 00:28:19,788 Speaker 1: were doing this thing where they were military training and 650 00:28:19,868 --> 00:28:22,268 Speaker 1: he knocks out Dwight Howard and like and Adola's like 651 00:28:22,268 --> 00:28:25,508 Speaker 1: half his size, six foot eleven. It was incredible. It 652 00:28:25,588 --> 00:28:30,508 Speaker 1: was great body beat up. Yes, we get Danny on 653 00:28:30,788 --> 00:28:33,988 Speaker 1: Special Forces World's Toughest d House. I saw him running 654 00:28:33,988 --> 00:28:35,428 Speaker 1: around on the beach with Brady and he looks all 655 00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:37,908 Speaker 1: ripped and everything. They were in Bahamas. Yeah, it's pretty good, 656 00:28:38,188 --> 00:28:40,348 Speaker 1: all right. So he's coaching the Raiders. I'm also gonna 657 00:28:40,348 --> 00:28:42,828 Speaker 1: say Derek Carr's a new team. Sorry, Dany, I'm looking 658 00:28:42,828 --> 00:28:44,468 Speaker 1: at the Saints. Saints are one of the most interesting 659 00:28:44,468 --> 00:28:46,588 Speaker 1: teams from last year. It's just a bizarre season in 660 00:28:46,588 --> 00:28:48,988 Speaker 1: which they just stuck with Andy Dalton and stuck with him, 661 00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:50,748 Speaker 1: and they just Jamis never went in and they just 662 00:28:50,868 --> 00:28:52,708 Speaker 1: kind of died on a vine and weren't good and 663 00:28:52,748 --> 00:28:55,148 Speaker 1: finished seven and ten. But I'm more optimistic than that 664 00:28:55,188 --> 00:28:57,028 Speaker 1: because I'm just at this place with the Raiders where 665 00:28:57,028 --> 00:28:59,028 Speaker 1: they're so exciting and they're so fun and they're so sexy. 666 00:28:59,228 --> 00:29:00,988 Speaker 1: So but like, you have to do something about Mahames 667 00:29:01,028 --> 00:29:02,868 Speaker 1: where we can talk about you doing anything in the playoffs, 668 00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:05,508 Speaker 1: there's an issue with the Raiders. You cannot talk about 669 00:29:05,548 --> 00:29:09,508 Speaker 1: the Raiders without talking about this guy. He's nine and 670 00:29:09,588 --> 00:29:11,828 Speaker 1: one against you. This his quarterback radio is like one 671 00:29:11,908 --> 00:29:13,948 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve. And I'm Raiders fans for like, shot 672 00:29:14,028 --> 00:29:17,988 Speaker 1: up should I he's in your division. This is not 673 00:29:18,028 --> 00:29:21,788 Speaker 1: like Josh Allen's issue or Burrows, like where they have 674 00:29:21,828 --> 00:29:23,908 Speaker 1: to face Mahomes eventually in the player you got to 675 00:29:23,908 --> 00:29:26,468 Speaker 1: face them twice a year and he just kills you 676 00:29:27,228 --> 00:29:29,508 Speaker 1: more so than he does everybody else. It's a special 677 00:29:29,508 --> 00:29:32,188 Speaker 1: thing for them, So listen, we'll see what happens at 678 00:29:32,188 --> 00:29:34,068 Speaker 1: the draft. And Max Crosby had a hell of a 679 00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:36,668 Speaker 1: season and it just didn't mean anything against the Raiders 680 00:29:36,708 --> 00:29:39,868 Speaker 1: because I cannot get excited about the Raiders right now, 681 00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:42,148 Speaker 1: and when I still see that the player of mass 682 00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:44,548 Speaker 1: destruction is in their division, just doing whatever the hell 683 00:29:44,588 --> 00:29:47,108 Speaker 1: he wants at least twice a year. So please come 684 00:29:47,148 --> 00:29:49,948 Speaker 1: up with something new against this man. Jimmy Garoppolo, that's great. 685 00:29:50,668 --> 00:29:52,908 Speaker 1: Damanta Adams, that's great. Neither one of them are touching 686 00:29:52,948 --> 00:29:55,588 Speaker 1: fifteen and red. And I'm sorry if it's defeatist and 687 00:29:55,628 --> 00:29:58,308 Speaker 1: it's not optimistic. It's practical though. It's real talk, man, 688 00:29:58,348 --> 00:30:00,948 Speaker 1: he said, I don't like saying it, but come on, 689 00:30:01,228 --> 00:30:04,908 Speaker 1: am I wrong? Tell me I'm wrong. No, it's not, Mahomes. 690 00:30:04,908 --> 00:30:06,908 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at these two teams, the team 691 00:30:06,908 --> 00:30:08,588 Speaker 1: he just left and the Raiders, in the team that 692 00:30:08,708 --> 00:30:10,708 Speaker 1: Derek Carr joined in the Saints, and you look at 693 00:30:10,788 --> 00:30:13,508 Speaker 1: quarterback play, because when you're trying to determine success, it 694 00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:16,348 Speaker 1: all starts at who's taking the snap from the center, 695 00:30:16,388 --> 00:30:18,428 Speaker 1: and you look at the quarterbacks in the division that 696 00:30:18,508 --> 00:30:20,548 Speaker 1: he just left in the quarterbacks in the division that 697 00:30:20,828 --> 00:30:23,588 Speaker 1: he just joined, and who they're going to be playing against. 698 00:30:23,748 --> 00:30:26,628 Speaker 1: It's just like, oh, my goodness, take your pick. Who 699 00:30:26,668 --> 00:30:28,308 Speaker 1: do you want to play against as a team. I mean, 700 00:30:28,308 --> 00:30:31,708 Speaker 1: you have MVPs, Super Bowl, MVPs, a ton of Pro Bowls, 701 00:30:31,748 --> 00:30:34,988 Speaker 1: all pros. Russell Wilson, Yes, he struggled last year, but 702 00:30:35,108 --> 00:30:37,068 Speaker 1: you looking throughout his career in the potential of what 703 00:30:37,108 --> 00:30:39,148 Speaker 1: he can become if he can get back to who 704 00:30:39,188 --> 00:30:42,308 Speaker 1: he was, a Super Bowl himself, justin Herbert Rookie of 705 00:30:42,348 --> 00:30:44,428 Speaker 1: the Year, a Pro Bowl, a guy that's up and coming, 706 00:30:44,788 --> 00:30:47,188 Speaker 1: and it's just like nothing against these guys. I've played 707 00:30:47,188 --> 00:30:49,708 Speaker 1: against some of them, but I'd much rather play against 708 00:30:49,708 --> 00:30:52,468 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Andy Dalton, and I think I like 709 00:30:52,628 --> 00:30:54,308 Speaker 1: my chances of what they're gonna do if from an 710 00:30:54,348 --> 00:30:57,468 Speaker 1: offensive standpoint, if I'm game playing defensively, and then a 711 00:30:57,548 --> 00:30:59,948 Speaker 1: young guy and Desmond Ritter. So you look at who 712 00:31:00,028 --> 00:31:02,748 Speaker 1: Vegas has to go against potentially in their division and 713 00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:05,108 Speaker 1: try to win weekend and week out, and for Derek 714 00:31:05,188 --> 00:31:08,308 Speaker 1: Carr joining the South the NFC, it's just like, my goodness, 715 00:31:08,708 --> 00:31:11,588 Speaker 1: the Saints, you definitely have to win this division and 716 00:31:11,668 --> 00:31:13,628 Speaker 1: take advantage of who your opponents are going to be. 717 00:31:13,828 --> 00:31:16,388 Speaker 1: If I'm just looking at this on paper, it's hard 718 00:31:16,428 --> 00:31:18,148 Speaker 1: to say. Even though you can like the moves that 719 00:31:18,228 --> 00:31:21,548 Speaker 1: the Raiders did, bringing Garoppolo, bringing back Josh Jacobs, and 720 00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:24,028 Speaker 1: some of the signings that they've had, it's very hard 721 00:31:24,028 --> 00:31:25,668 Speaker 1: to say, oh, yeah, I see the Raiders being an 722 00:31:25,708 --> 00:31:28,668 Speaker 1: extremely successful team next year. You know. I find the 723 00:31:28,668 --> 00:31:30,828 Speaker 1: Saints really interesting also because this could have been a 724 00:31:30,868 --> 00:31:32,508 Speaker 1: good time for them to rip the band. They'd off 725 00:31:32,548 --> 00:31:34,428 Speaker 1: turn the page and say let's go into a rebuild. 726 00:31:34,428 --> 00:31:36,268 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of those veterans are aging right now, 727 00:31:36,348 --> 00:31:37,868 Speaker 1: and you look at they don't have a first round pick. 728 00:31:37,908 --> 00:31:40,068 Speaker 1: They traded that away last year and they went seven 729 00:31:40,108 --> 00:31:41,708 Speaker 1: to ten last year. So you're like, you know what, 730 00:31:42,148 --> 00:31:44,308 Speaker 1: let's just tear the whole thing down. Sean Payton's no 731 00:31:44,348 --> 00:31:46,228 Speaker 1: longer here. Let's build it up with some new guys 732 00:31:46,228 --> 00:31:48,188 Speaker 1: and let's build for the future. They didn't do that, 733 00:31:48,348 --> 00:31:51,268 Speaker 1: Like they doubled down. They went and they gave Derek Carr, 734 00:31:51,268 --> 00:31:54,468 Speaker 1: a veteran, a huge contract to come in. They wooed him, 735 00:31:54,508 --> 00:31:56,908 Speaker 1: they courted him, They traveled to Indianapolis to meet with him, 736 00:31:56,948 --> 00:31:59,108 Speaker 1: and they signed that deal immediately after the combine, and 737 00:31:59,148 --> 00:32:02,108 Speaker 1: then they reworked contracts with like veteran I'm talking Cam 738 00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:05,828 Speaker 1: Jordan and Damario Davis in turn Matthew and Alvin Kamara 739 00:32:05,908 --> 00:32:08,708 Speaker 1: and Lattimo Are. They reworked and restructured all these contracts 740 00:32:08,748 --> 00:32:10,748 Speaker 1: where it was no, let's not cut these guys, let's 741 00:32:10,788 --> 00:32:13,308 Speaker 1: bring them all. Taysoon Hills coming back, Like all of 742 00:32:13,308 --> 00:32:16,028 Speaker 1: these guys are coming back. It was as if last year, Okay, 743 00:32:16,028 --> 00:32:18,428 Speaker 1: it didn't work, but what if we added a quarterback 744 00:32:18,468 --> 00:32:22,148 Speaker 1: to all that core? Would it work? It almost feels 745 00:32:22,148 --> 00:32:23,748 Speaker 1: like what the Jets are doing in a way where 746 00:32:23,788 --> 00:32:27,228 Speaker 1: it's we've got this core and we're just a quarterback away. 747 00:32:27,508 --> 00:32:29,068 Speaker 1: And that's what the Saints viewed it. As I look 748 00:32:29,068 --> 00:32:31,508 Speaker 1: at Mickey Loomis, who's a general manager of the New 749 00:32:31,628 --> 00:32:33,348 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints and has been there, was part of the 750 00:32:33,348 --> 00:32:36,668 Speaker 1: group that hired Sean Payton way back when in two 751 00:32:36,748 --> 00:32:40,308 Speaker 1: thousand and four, and he's still the GM, and he's 752 00:32:40,308 --> 00:32:42,748 Speaker 1: still making moves, and like, I think he's looking at 753 00:32:42,788 --> 00:32:45,868 Speaker 1: what you're looking at, Jason, And it's not just the quarterbacks. 754 00:32:45,908 --> 00:32:47,628 Speaker 1: They're looking at teams that all right, The Panthers have 755 00:32:47,668 --> 00:32:51,268 Speaker 1: the first overall pick. The Falcons. They're in complete rebuild mode. 756 00:32:51,348 --> 00:32:53,628 Speaker 1: The Buccaneers are in this depressive state right now where 757 00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:56,388 Speaker 1: it's either Baker Mayfield, Kyle Trask or whatever. We don't 758 00:32:56,388 --> 00:32:58,548 Speaker 1: even know we're coming up with Tom Brady. I think 759 00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,828 Speaker 1: the Saints general manager Mickey Loomis looked at USA. I'm 760 00:33:00,828 --> 00:33:03,308 Speaker 1: not rebuilding, I'm doubling, tripling down. And for that I'll 761 00:33:03,308 --> 00:33:06,388 Speaker 1: always take the veteran tea over the question of the Raiders. 762 00:33:06,388 --> 00:33:08,708 Speaker 1: I just don't know what it means. Like Dennis Allen, 763 00:33:09,028 --> 00:33:11,188 Speaker 1: one of the most low profile coaches in the league 764 00:33:11,188 --> 00:33:13,508 Speaker 1: by far, take thirty seconds and that society about that, 765 00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:15,908 Speaker 1: what is it? What is defensive coach that they're saying, 766 00:33:15,908 --> 00:33:17,788 Speaker 1: we're gonna be in another shot. And like Dennis Allen 767 00:33:17,868 --> 00:33:20,428 Speaker 1: obviously had great success as a defensive coordinator in the 768 00:33:20,548 --> 00:33:21,948 Speaker 1: league and then gets the head job and now has 769 00:33:21,948 --> 00:33:24,468 Speaker 1: been bouncing everybody's in New Orleans. That was their decisions. 770 00:33:24,548 --> 00:33:26,308 Speaker 1: No talk about him at all. No, it wasn't on 771 00:33:26,348 --> 00:33:27,868 Speaker 1: the hot seat. They were like, he's our coach, no 772 00:33:27,868 --> 00:33:30,468 Speaker 1: matter what. After last year he looked at that coaches picture, 773 00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:32,588 Speaker 1: I mean, who was there was nothing you know, nothing 774 00:33:32,588 --> 00:33:36,708 Speaker 1: to say last year's Monday Night game in Tampa where 775 00:33:36,828 --> 00:33:38,468 Speaker 1: they had him the whole game and at the last 776 00:33:38,508 --> 00:33:40,308 Speaker 1: second Brady comes back and there were so many head 777 00:33:40,348 --> 00:33:41,828 Speaker 1: scratching things. He's like, is this the year you go 778 00:33:41,868 --> 00:33:43,548 Speaker 1: to an offensive coach? Now, they just said let's stick 779 00:33:43,548 --> 00:33:45,788 Speaker 1: with Nis and then let's get him a quarterback. So 780 00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:48,908 Speaker 1: Derek Car's never won a huge game in his NFL career. 781 00:33:48,948 --> 00:33:50,668 Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. In the Week eighteen 782 00:33:50,708 --> 00:33:53,908 Speaker 1: game against the Chargers and that's fine. But in that division, 783 00:33:53,948 --> 00:33:55,788 Speaker 1: to your point, and in the NFC, which is wide open, 784 00:33:56,068 --> 00:34:04,188 Speaker 1: Saints are very, very funny
