Speaker 4: have you here. Bro. It's always nice.

45
00:01:45,988 --> 00:01:48,108
Speaker 9: When when I get to feel like a little veteran

46
00:01:48,148 --> 00:01:49,828
Speaker 9: in my short time here on the show.

47
00:01:49,908 --> 00:01:52,428

49
00:01:53,548 --> 00:01:53,868
Speaker 6: Jamie.

50
00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:55,348
Speaker 5: I want to say, Cody and I this is off

51
00:01:55,388 --> 00:01:57,428
Speaker 5: the script. It's not in your Wikipedia page, not on Google,

52
00:01:57,468 --> 00:02:00,468
Speaker 5: But I remember, weren't you also like a nasty high

53
00:02:00,508 --> 00:02:01,628
Speaker 5: school basketball player?

54
00:02:02,068 --> 00:02:04,468
Speaker 4: Yes, I like talk about.

55
00:02:04,468 --> 00:02:06,668
Speaker 6: A high school b ball career because I remember that coming.

56
00:02:06,548 --> 00:02:08,748
Speaker 5: Out of high school it was like football and basketball.

57
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:11,148
Speaker 8: Yeah, this was my claim to athleticism in the locker

58
00:02:11,188 --> 00:02:12,988
Speaker 8: room at USC was okay because I was a pro

59
00:02:13,028 --> 00:02:14,468
Speaker 8: style quarterback, right, but I could.

60
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:15,348
Speaker 7: Hoop a little bit on the side.

61
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:19,028
Speaker 8: And high school freshman year played varsity average fifteen sophomore

62
00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:21,068
Speaker 8: he went about twenty four my junior year. We can

63
00:02:21,148 --> 00:02:23,828
Speaker 8: check the tape, Peter, I appreciate it. Average thirty a game,

64
00:02:24,508 --> 00:02:28,068
Speaker 8: junior thirty a game as a point guard. So that's

65
00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:31,388
Speaker 8: the only time. Yeah, I didn't pass a whole you

66
00:02:32,068 --> 00:02:32,988
Speaker 8: can tell it was.

67
00:02:33,068 --> 00:02:33,868
Speaker 2: It was respect.

68
00:02:33,948 --> 00:02:35,508
Speaker 7: Kick a couple of the corner. If they're not hitting them,

69
00:02:35,548 --> 00:02:36,988
Speaker 7: then I were going I a the rest of the game.

70
00:02:37,028 --> 00:02:39,148
Speaker 8: But yeah, that was my sence. I wasn't a dual threat.

71
00:02:39,148 --> 00:02:40,588
Speaker 8: I couldn't really run. I had the knee brace on

72
00:02:40,668 --> 00:02:43,468
Speaker 8: in college. My high school basketball tape was my claim out.

73
00:02:43,548 --> 00:02:46,228
Speaker 3: So what happened, Like the money is like footballs were

74
00:02:46,228 --> 00:02:48,748
Speaker 3: the money or whatever, Like why not basketball why not

75
00:02:48,788 --> 00:02:50,068
Speaker 3: playing in the NCAA tournament.

76
00:02:50,108 --> 00:02:51,468
Speaker 8: You know what, I had to make that decision to

77
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:53,828
Speaker 8: Jamie in my junior of high school. It was down

78
00:02:53,908 --> 00:02:56,588
Speaker 8: which with my head coach, Brian Nixon at Centennial High School,

79
00:02:56,588 --> 00:02:58,948
Speaker 8: and we were talking about do we want to go basketball?

80
00:02:58,948 --> 00:02:59,748
Speaker 7: We want to go football?

81
00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:01,588
Speaker 8: And sure enough I went to the camp circuit for

82
00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:03,948
Speaker 8: high school's mantaios and you go all over the country

83
00:03:03,988 --> 00:03:05,268
Speaker 8: and to all that, I started getting a lot more

84
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:08,548
Speaker 8: offers for football than basketball. Went that route and then

85
00:03:08,548 --> 00:03:09,868
Speaker 8: it ended up working out for me a little bit.

86
00:03:09,868 --> 00:03:11,628
Speaker 8: But yeah, it was tough to leave. I didn't play

87
00:03:11,668 --> 00:03:13,748
Speaker 8: my senior year of high school and basketball. I had

88
00:03:13,748 --> 00:03:15,428
Speaker 8: to walk away from it because I went to USC early.

89
00:03:15,468 --> 00:03:16,948
Speaker 8: But I feel like I made the right decision.

90
00:03:17,028 --> 00:03:18,748
Speaker 3: All right, Well that's Cody Kesler in the nutshell, But

91
00:03:18,748 --> 00:03:19,748
Speaker 3: you're here all week with us.

92
00:03:19,668 --> 00:03:22,188
Speaker 8: Right Yeah, No, Kyle's on vacation, so hopefully I.

93
00:03:22,188 --> 00:03:22,948
Speaker 4: Can do him justice.

94
00:03:22,988 --> 00:03:26,388
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Cody tom Pellisero, do you feel

95
00:03:26,428 --> 00:03:29,428
Speaker 3: like we should go back to the Cody Kessler combine

96
00:03:29,468 --> 00:03:31,188
Speaker 3: era or do you want to set the stage for

97
00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:35,068
Speaker 3: us as our NFL Insider assigned this week at Lucas

98
00:03:35,068 --> 00:03:37,348
Speaker 3: Soil Stadium, at least for today. I know Peter Fregger

99
00:03:37,428 --> 00:03:38,468
Speaker 3: is going to get out there in a couple of

100
00:03:38,548 --> 00:03:39,548
Speaker 3: days to Indianapolis.

101
00:03:39,548 --> 00:03:42,668
Speaker 2: But Tom Pete, what's happening this morning, buddy? What are

102
00:03:42,708 --> 00:03:43,188
Speaker 2: we looking at?

103
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:45,748
Speaker 6: Well? And I started out with my favorite Cody Kessler fact,

104
00:03:45,748 --> 00:03:48,228
Speaker 6: which is the fact he had an agent named Andrew

105
00:03:48,268 --> 00:03:51,028
Speaker 6: Kessler who was not his father, not even related, just

106
00:03:51,108 --> 00:03:53,908
Speaker 6: one of the statistical odds of that you selected agent

107
00:03:53,908 --> 00:03:57,188
Speaker 6: who's got the exact same last name. The workouts here

108
00:03:57,428 --> 00:04:00,308
Speaker 6: inside Lucas Oil Stadium not going to get going till Thursday.

109
00:04:00,388 --> 00:04:02,188
Speaker 6: Right now, It's just it's me and the guy with

110
00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:05,588
Speaker 6: the vacuum cleaner sucking up the extra rubber, preparing that

111
00:04:05,748 --> 00:04:09,428
Speaker 6: turf to get the fastest possible forty times that we've

112
00:04:09,428 --> 00:04:12,988
Speaker 6: got here. The defensive linemen, linebackers, and the specialists started

113
00:04:12,988 --> 00:04:16,748
Speaker 6: coming into town yesterday. Today the defensive backs arrived, as

114
00:04:16,788 --> 00:04:19,188
Speaker 6: do the tight ends, and of course we're all looking

115
00:04:19,228 --> 00:04:21,748
Speaker 6: forward to those on the field sessions starting on Thursday.

116
00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:25,068
Speaker 6: The quarterbacks receivers they get out there on Saturday exclusively

117
00:04:25,148 --> 00:04:28,668
Speaker 6: on NFL Network. A lot of the news though at

118
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:32,308
Speaker 6: the combine every year, occurs in the restaurants and bars

119
00:04:32,308 --> 00:04:35,228
Speaker 6: and hotels around town. I already saw some GMS when

120
00:04:35,268 --> 00:04:37,468
Speaker 6: I was out to dinner last night. Here we've got

121
00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:41,668
Speaker 6: some really high level, unresolved situations will begin to take

122
00:04:41,668 --> 00:04:43,988
Speaker 6: steps forward through the course this week. Let's start out

123
00:04:43,988 --> 00:04:46,588
Speaker 6: at the quarterback position. Aaron Rodgers right now has not

124
00:04:46,588 --> 00:04:49,028
Speaker 6: been officially released by the Jets, but based on them

125
00:04:49,228 --> 00:04:52,348
Speaker 6: announcing that they were partying ways, other teams are allowed

126
00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:55,308
Speaker 6: to speak with his agent. You've got the fluid situation

127
00:04:55,388 --> 00:04:58,508
Speaker 6: involving Kirk Cousins and the Falcons right now. He's got

128
00:04:58,668 --> 00:05:01,908
Speaker 6: a looming guarantee vesting in mid March. Here are they

129
00:05:01,908 --> 00:05:04,348
Speaker 6: going to release him? Could they potentially try to keep

130
00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:07,028
Speaker 6: He's got a no trade clause that still needs to

131
00:05:07,068 --> 00:05:09,788
Speaker 6: be sorted out here. And then Matthew Stafford as well,

132
00:05:09,908 --> 00:05:12,948
Speaker 6: his future in LA at this point in doubt, the

133
00:05:13,068 --> 00:05:15,788
Speaker 6: Rams recently granting permission for his agent to speak to

134
00:05:15,828 --> 00:05:18,708
Speaker 6: other clubs get a feel for what should the contract be,

135
00:05:18,748 --> 00:05:21,868
Speaker 6: whether Stafford ends up returning to LA or potentially going

136
00:05:21,908 --> 00:05:24,548
Speaker 6: elsewhere in a trade. There's a whole lot more. Miles

137
00:05:24,548 --> 00:05:27,028
Speaker 6: Garrett's trade request is still hanging out there. The Cooper

138
00:05:27,068 --> 00:05:30,228
Speaker 6: Cup and Deebo Samuel Talks are hanging out there as well.

139
00:05:30,348 --> 00:05:33,068
Speaker 6: This is the time where teams and agents and teams

140
00:05:33,108 --> 00:05:36,268
Speaker 6: and teams gms actually get together, speak face to face

141
00:05:36,308 --> 00:05:38,308
Speaker 6: and maybe laid the groundwork for some of the big

142
00:05:38,348 --> 00:05:40,148
Speaker 6: news we're going to see over the next couple of

143
00:05:40,188 --> 00:05:43,508
Speaker 6: weeks with the free agent negotiating window Jamie opening two

144
00:05:43,508 --> 00:05:45,668
Speaker 6: weeks from today, Tom, can you answer.

145
00:05:45,468 --> 00:05:47,428
Speaker 3: A burning question I've had about the combine? I got

146
00:05:47,468 --> 00:05:49,588
Speaker 3: to go the last two years. I'm not going this year.

147
00:05:49,668 --> 00:05:52,308
Speaker 3: You talk about the face to face interaction the GMS

148
00:05:52,348 --> 00:05:55,908
Speaker 3: have some of these coaches. How much dealing is actually

149
00:05:55,988 --> 00:06:00,788
Speaker 3: done at the tables amongst medium rare stakes in Indianapolis?

150
00:06:01,148 --> 00:06:04,388
Speaker 3: Or is this is draft talk? You're talking about players

151
00:06:04,548 --> 00:06:05,348
Speaker 3: they were there this week?

152
00:06:05,428 --> 00:06:07,428
Speaker 2: Like how much in the weeds do we get when it.

153
00:06:07,348 --> 00:06:09,548
Speaker 3: Comes to free agency and guys that are available?

154
00:06:09,868 --> 00:06:12,348
Speaker 6: I would say this, and Peter certainly correct me if

155
00:06:12,348 --> 00:06:14,508
Speaker 6: I'm wrong, because you spend a lot of times around

156
00:06:14,508 --> 00:06:17,588
Speaker 6: town here working your sources as well. I believe the

157
00:06:17,708 --> 00:06:20,268
Speaker 6: dinners because everybody can see you at dinner. You go

158
00:06:20,348 --> 00:06:22,388
Speaker 6: to a place like Saint Elmos, you can look across

159
00:06:22,388 --> 00:06:24,668
Speaker 6: the room see who's having dinner with who. Those are

160
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:26,388
Speaker 6: a lot of times just the oh, I'm catching up

161
00:06:26,388 --> 00:06:29,068
Speaker 6: with friends. The real meetings. The important stuff is happening

162
00:06:29,268 --> 00:06:32,348
Speaker 6: in room six't eighty two at the Embassy suites where

163
00:06:32,428 --> 00:06:34,988
Speaker 6: nobody can see exactly what's going on. And then Hey,

164
00:06:34,988 --> 00:06:36,788
Speaker 6: we're gonna jump on the phone over the next couple weeks.

165
00:06:36,788 --> 00:06:38,268
Speaker 6: By the way, I don't know who's stayed in room

166
00:06:38,268 --> 00:06:40,188
Speaker 6: sixt eighty two. Nobody going knock on the door. That's

167
00:06:40,188 --> 00:06:43,428
Speaker 6: a made up number, a real hotel. Please nobody go there.

168
00:06:43,948 --> 00:06:46,228
Speaker 3: Vacuuming up the pellets, Peter on the in the turf

169
00:06:46,268 --> 00:06:46,748
Speaker 3: behind Tom.

170
00:06:46,908 --> 00:06:49,068
Speaker 6: He's got to quiet it down out there. I would

171
00:06:49,068 --> 00:06:50,148
Speaker 6: say this, and Tom's right.

172
00:06:50,508 --> 00:06:53,068
Speaker 5: We've had many stories in the past two wheres during

173
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,588
Speaker 5: the drills, everyone has focused on what rich Eysen and

174
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:58,228
Speaker 5: Daniel Jeremiah are saying and what this shuttle time is.

175
00:06:58,388 --> 00:07:02,668
Speaker 5: These teams are all there in the actual Lucas Oil corridors,

176
00:07:02,748 --> 00:07:05,268
Speaker 5: and that's where a lot of these conversations happen because

177
00:07:05,308 --> 00:07:07,508
Speaker 5: there's dead time. So Tom can attest to this. We

178
00:07:07,548 --> 00:07:09,948
Speaker 5: have heard of trades that have been executed of one

179
00:07:09,988 --> 00:07:12,788
Speaker 5: general manager walking over to the suite of another general

180
00:07:12,828 --> 00:07:15,388
Speaker 5: manager while the linemen are running forties and everyone's watching that.

181
00:07:15,428 --> 00:07:18,188
Speaker 5: There's actually deals being going on around veterans being traded.

182
00:07:18,228 --> 00:07:21,428
Speaker 5: So there's legal tampering, there's non legal tampering, there's all

183
00:07:21,468 --> 00:07:24,828
Speaker 5: sorts of things, but there are always conversations happening, and

184
00:07:24,868 --> 00:07:27,428
Speaker 5: that's what makes the combine so juicy. In addition to

185
00:07:27,428 --> 00:07:29,068
Speaker 5: the great drolls that we'll be showing on the network

186
00:07:29,068 --> 00:07:29,868
Speaker 5: all week.

187
00:07:30,028 --> 00:07:33,228
Speaker 6: And we will be here throughout the week, full coverage

188
00:07:33,388 --> 00:07:35,628
Speaker 6: every half hour on the hour. I don't know if

189
00:07:35,628 --> 00:07:37,428
Speaker 6: that's a phrase, but I'll be here. I'm not allowed

190
00:07:37,428 --> 00:07:38,748
Speaker 6: to leave. Actually, I'm just going to be in the

191
00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:40,348
Speaker 6: stadium all the way through Thursday.

192
00:07:40,428 --> 00:07:43,468
Speaker 3: We appreciate everything Tom, especially when it comes to the

193
00:07:43,548 --> 00:07:45,268
Speaker 3: high level stuff, and even all the way down to

194
00:07:45,308 --> 00:07:48,388
Speaker 3: the low level. Those little turf pellets are aniacle. You

195
00:07:48,428 --> 00:07:50,988
Speaker 3: find them in your suitcase after the combine, like weeks later.

196
00:07:51,308 --> 00:07:53,908
Speaker 3: Where do these come from? Indianapolis is the answer? All right,

197
00:07:53,948 --> 00:07:56,108
Speaker 3: we are entering the off season. The Tennessee Titans are

198
00:07:56,108 --> 00:07:59,388
Speaker 3: officially on the clock. We are talking teams in twenty

199
00:07:59,468 --> 00:08:03,028
Speaker 3: twenty five that this summer. Over the next couple of months, Peter,

200
00:08:03,428 --> 00:08:06,388
Speaker 3: you find have the most intrigue when you are looking

201
00:08:06,388 --> 00:08:08,948
Speaker 3: at what they could possibly accomplish ahead of next year.

202
00:08:09,348 --> 00:08:13,308
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, you've got now a solid two three week

203
00:08:13,348 --> 00:08:15,548
Speaker 5: span where teams are gonna look to find their free

204
00:08:15,548 --> 00:08:18,308
Speaker 5: agent pieces, and then you have another solid two to

205
00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:20,268
Speaker 5: three week span where they build their draft board. That

206
00:08:20,348 --> 00:08:21,748
Speaker 5: it's the draft, and then you got your roster and

207
00:08:21,748 --> 00:08:23,508
Speaker 5: you're good to go. And as Tom said, there are

208
00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:26,788
Speaker 5: so many unresolved issues, specifically at the quarterback position. The

209
00:08:26,868 --> 00:08:28,908
Speaker 5: team that I'm looking at as a team that seems

210
00:08:28,948 --> 00:08:31,268
Speaker 5: to get to the playoffs every year and has a

211
00:08:31,428 --> 00:08:35,268
Speaker 5: giant question market quarterback, that's the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Pittsburgh

212
00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:38,828
Speaker 5: Steelers decided to Jennison Kenny Pickett last year and said, Okay,

213
00:08:38,828 --> 00:08:41,468
Speaker 5: we're gonna cut bait On on a twentieth overall pick

214
00:08:41,468 --> 00:08:44,508
Speaker 5: and we're gonna go with the Justin Fields Russell Wilson

215
00:08:44,548 --> 00:08:46,468
Speaker 5: do Well. It was great to start off, they were

216
00:08:46,468 --> 00:08:49,508
Speaker 5: ten to three, and then the season hit the skids.

217
00:08:49,548 --> 00:08:51,188
Speaker 6: And what happened in.

218
00:08:51,148 --> 00:08:53,628
Speaker 5: The end, Well, it was the same Steelers that we

219
00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:57,348
Speaker 5: have seen every time they've been in the playoffs since

220
00:08:57,388 --> 00:08:58,228
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen.

221
00:08:58,268 --> 00:09:00,028
Speaker 6: It ended with a loss. Take a look at how the.

222
00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:03,828
Speaker 5: Steelers seasons have ended once they've reached a postseason the

223
00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:08,988
Speaker 5: last seven years. Twenty seventeen lost, twenty twenty lost, twenty

224
00:09:09,028 --> 00:09:12,828
Speaker 5: twenty one lost, twenty twenty three lost, twenty twenty four lost.

225
00:09:13,188 --> 00:09:16,548
Speaker 6: And now you don't have a quarterback.

226
00:09:16,148 --> 00:09:20,268
Speaker 5: Under contract going into combine week. That includes Justin Fields,

227
00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:23,148
Speaker 5: that includes Russell Wilson, and of course Kenny Pickett is

228
00:09:23,148 --> 00:09:26,268
Speaker 5: over in Philly now, So I look at this Steelers team,

229
00:09:26,788 --> 00:09:27,348
Speaker 5: what are you?

230
00:09:27,508 --> 00:09:30,628
Speaker 6: Are you a team in transition? Are you in rebuild mode?

231
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:32,828
Speaker 6: Or are you a team that has TJ.

232
00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:37,228
Speaker 5: Watt on one side, Alex heide Smith Alex Tidsmith on

233
00:09:37,268 --> 00:09:40,948
Speaker 5: another side? And the ability to say, are we the

234
00:09:40,988 --> 00:09:43,108
Speaker 5: team that's gonna go and get Matthew Stafford.

235
00:09:43,228 --> 00:09:45,388
Speaker 6: Are we the team that's gonna get Aaron Rodgers?

236
00:09:45,468 --> 00:09:48,068
Speaker 5: Are we the team that's gonna get Kirk Cousins. Are

237
00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:50,748
Speaker 5: we the team that's gonna get Derek Carr? There are

238
00:09:50,828 --> 00:09:53,588
Speaker 5: so many viable veteran options out there.

239
00:09:53,988 --> 00:09:56,348
Speaker 6: They did this dance last year. They decided on.

240
00:09:56,508 --> 00:09:59,828
Speaker 5: Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, but with the twenty first

241
00:09:59,868 --> 00:10:02,988
Speaker 5: overall pick, and what I would say is an underwhelming

242
00:10:03,148 --> 00:10:04,268
Speaker 5: quarterback class.

243
00:10:05,268 --> 00:10:07,948
Speaker 6: I would think they're going to go veteran again, or

244
00:10:07,948 --> 00:10:08,828
Speaker 6: do they bring.

245
00:10:08,628 --> 00:10:11,348
Speaker 5: Backfields and say we're four and two and we decided

246
00:10:11,388 --> 00:10:13,668
Speaker 5: to throw in Russ Or do they bring back Russ.

247
00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:15,748
Speaker 6: Steelers are fascinating.

248
00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:19,308
Speaker 5: A good team, not a great team, but that's been

249
00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:22,188
Speaker 5: their story for nearly a decade in Pittsburgh.

250
00:10:22,548 --> 00:10:24,428
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the New England Patriots. I

251
00:10:24,468 --> 00:10:26,708
Speaker 8: love the Mike Rabel hire. I think that's a home

252
00:10:26,788 --> 00:10:29,228
Speaker 8: run hire, one of the best acquisitions this offseason. I

253
00:10:29,308 --> 00:10:31,548
Speaker 8: love where Drake May left off the season right going

254
00:10:31,588 --> 00:10:33,788
Speaker 8: into year two. Now we have some tape and we

255
00:10:33,828 --> 00:10:35,548
Speaker 8: talked about that jump from year one to year two

256
00:10:35,588 --> 00:10:37,588
Speaker 8: as a quarterback and how big that is. He has

257
00:10:37,588 --> 00:10:39,388
Speaker 8: some self scout tape to go back and watch.

258
00:10:39,228 --> 00:10:39,828
Speaker 7: And learn from.

259
00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:41,508
Speaker 4: It's going to be his first full year as a starter.

260
00:10:41,588 --> 00:10:43,828
Speaker 8: But the most intriguing thing for me is that they

261
00:10:43,868 --> 00:10:46,308
Speaker 8: own more cap space than any team in the NFL

262
00:10:46,348 --> 00:10:48,468
Speaker 8: by thirty million. Right, they have a ton of money

263
00:10:48,468 --> 00:10:49,788
Speaker 8: to work with this offseason.

264
00:10:49,828 --> 00:10:51,228
Speaker 4: They just have to use it in the right places.

265
00:10:51,228 --> 00:10:53,308
Speaker 8: And for me, what does that look like going out

266
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:56,068
Speaker 8: and getting a star wide receiver right surrounding Drake May

267
00:10:56,068 --> 00:10:57,388
Speaker 8: with some guys on the perimeter that can go out

268
00:10:57,388 --> 00:10:59,028
Speaker 8: there and play well. Go find some guys on the

269
00:10:59,068 --> 00:11:00,468
Speaker 8: offensive line, some pieces.

270
00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:00,908
Speaker 7: That you need up front.

271
00:11:00,988 --> 00:11:02,908
Speaker 8: Go find somebody else on the trenches on the other

272
00:11:02,988 --> 00:11:05,388
Speaker 8: side on defense. Right on that front, seven developed a

273
00:11:05,428 --> 00:11:07,548
Speaker 8: depth on that side in football, play some Mike Grabel

274
00:11:07,828 --> 00:11:10,348
Speaker 8: New England Patriots a type of football on the defensive

275
00:11:10,348 --> 00:11:12,108
Speaker 8: side of the ball, which I think is so important.

276
00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:14,388
Speaker 8: But also they have the fourth overall pick too, so

277
00:11:14,428 --> 00:11:15,428
Speaker 8: they can go somewhere with that.

278
00:11:15,548 --> 00:11:17,388
Speaker 7: Now what's interesting for me is what do they do

279
00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:17,868
Speaker 7: with that pick?

280
00:11:17,948 --> 00:11:18,068
Speaker 4: Right?

281
00:11:18,068 --> 00:11:20,348
Speaker 8: Do they go get Will Campbell, left tackle at LSU.

282
00:11:20,348 --> 00:11:22,628
Speaker 8: Do they go get Mason Graham, who's a defensive lineman

283
00:11:22,788 --> 00:11:25,028
Speaker 8: over at Michigan. Do they go get Travis Hunter? You know,

284
00:11:25,068 --> 00:11:26,388
Speaker 8: you get a two for one type player with him,

285
00:11:26,428 --> 00:11:28,588
Speaker 8: who can play offense, who can play defense. And you know,

286
00:11:28,628 --> 00:11:31,388
Speaker 8: all these things look great on paper. But if you

287
00:11:31,428 --> 00:11:32,988
Speaker 8: don't go out and get the job done right, if

288
00:11:32,988 --> 00:11:35,708
Speaker 8: you don't make the right picks in the offseason in

289
00:11:35,748 --> 00:11:37,468
Speaker 8: the draft, if you don't got there and make a

290
00:11:37,548 --> 00:11:40,308
Speaker 8: huge impact in free agency, then it's all window dressing, right,

291
00:11:40,308 --> 00:11:41,868
Speaker 8: and you're right back to where you started, and the

292
00:11:41,908 --> 00:11:44,028
Speaker 8: New England fans are hungry to get back to that success.

293
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,668
Speaker 8: They've struggled since Tom Brady has left. Like I said,

294
00:11:46,668 --> 00:11:49,028
Speaker 8: everything looks great. I love Mike Grabel, Drake May, all

295
00:11:49,068 --> 00:11:51,068
Speaker 8: the money that they have and for free agency and

296
00:11:51,108 --> 00:11:52,948
Speaker 8: all the draft capital they have, But they've got to

297
00:11:52,948 --> 00:11:54,988
Speaker 8: get the job done this offseason and make a huge

298
00:11:54,988 --> 00:11:56,188
Speaker 8: impact if they want to get back to where they

299
00:11:56,228 --> 00:11:56,548
Speaker 8: need to run.

300
00:11:56,748 --> 00:11:59,588
Speaker 3: It feels like the Patriots right now are maybe similar

301
00:11:59,588 --> 00:12:02,348
Speaker 3: to what the Browns went through for a long time,

302
00:12:02,428 --> 00:12:04,908
Speaker 3: which is it feels like every single position you could

303
00:12:04,908 --> 00:12:07,828
Speaker 3: add a guy besides Drake May, who is their star?

304
00:12:07,988 --> 00:12:09,508
Speaker 2: Who do you put on the poster board?

305
00:12:09,628 --> 00:12:11,708
Speaker 3: So when you're on a team like that, which you

306
00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:14,748
Speaker 3: were in Cleveland when you were playing, how infuriating is

307
00:12:14,788 --> 00:12:17,108
Speaker 3: that to be in a system where you're like, my lord,

308
00:12:17,188 --> 00:12:19,548
Speaker 3: we need to fix everything or we need to add

309
00:12:19,588 --> 00:12:20,948
Speaker 3: to every single position group.

310
00:12:21,028 --> 00:12:22,988
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was naive as a rookie, so I got

311
00:12:23,068 --> 00:12:25,628
Speaker 8: drafted third round of Cleveland. Those where the years we

312
00:12:25,628 --> 00:12:27,868
Speaker 8: went one in thirty two over that two year stretch.

313
00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:29,508
Speaker 8: That second year though, I didn't start a game, so

314
00:12:29,668 --> 00:12:32,228
Speaker 8: that owned sixteen year. I try not to Okay, get

315
00:12:32,268 --> 00:12:34,468
Speaker 8: my name on of that. Well, well brings over that there.

316
00:12:34,508 --> 00:12:36,268
Speaker 7: But but yeah, that was tough.

317
00:12:36,308 --> 00:12:36,468
Speaker 4: You know.

318
00:12:36,588 --> 00:12:38,588
Speaker 8: We had RG three starting and he ended up getting

319
00:12:38,628 --> 00:12:40,548
Speaker 8: hurt the first game. Josh McCown's backup. He gets hurt

320
00:12:40,548 --> 00:12:42,748
Speaker 8: the second game. The plan for me was to NFL

321
00:12:42,788 --> 00:12:44,548
Speaker 8: red shirt. Yep, I'm thrown it as the starter of

322
00:12:44,588 --> 00:12:47,148
Speaker 8: Week three against Miami, and it was tough. My leading

323
00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:50,108
Speaker 8: receiver was Trell Pryor, who was a former quarterback, right,

324
00:12:50,148 --> 00:12:51,828
Speaker 8: So we just didn't have the pieces in play sheet

325
00:12:51,828 --> 00:12:54,228
Speaker 8: and we understood talking with Sashi Brown, who was the

326
00:12:54,468 --> 00:12:56,908
Speaker 8: quote unquote GM at the time, Paul de Podessa, guys

327
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:59,388
Speaker 8: like that, we're kind of explaining to us that rookie

328
00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:01,468
Speaker 8: class of what the vision is for the next couple

329
00:13:01,508 --> 00:13:03,868
Speaker 8: of years. It's just it's tough to sit there and

330
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:06,748
Speaker 8: be patient when you get thrown out and I'm taking

331
00:13:06,748 --> 00:13:08,748
Speaker 8: these hits. And then Joe Thomas was left tackle. Love

332
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:10,548
Speaker 8: playing for Joe Thomas or playing with him. There's a

333
00:13:10,588 --> 00:13:11,868
Speaker 8: lot of great linemen on that team, and I don't

334
00:13:11,868 --> 00:13:13,988
Speaker 8: want to throw anybody under the bus, but it was

335
00:13:14,188 --> 00:13:16,388
Speaker 8: the definition of a rebuild and being a rookie quarterback

336
00:13:16,388 --> 00:13:18,868
Speaker 8: in that situation is tough. You just you have to

337
00:13:18,868 --> 00:13:20,668
Speaker 8: be patient. You've got to be there. I love that

338
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:22,268
Speaker 8: they went out and got Mike Grabel. They bring Josh

339
00:13:22,348 --> 00:13:25,068
Speaker 8: McDaniels back as the offensive coordinator for Drake May. He

340
00:13:25,148 --> 00:13:26,748
Speaker 8: got a lot of experience a year ago. But yes,

341
00:13:26,788 --> 00:13:28,868
Speaker 8: they have to add pieces around him. But when you

342
00:13:28,948 --> 00:13:31,668
Speaker 8: have that much money to use in salary, you've got

343
00:13:31,708 --> 00:13:33,508
Speaker 8: to go out there and make big time plays for

344
00:13:33,748 --> 00:13:34,868
Speaker 8: you know what to translate to the field.

345
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:35,188
Speaker 6: Totally.

346
00:13:35,308 --> 00:13:36,228
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like the Patriots.

347
00:13:36,228 --> 00:13:38,068
Speaker 9: I like the fact that Cody you broke down that

348
00:13:38,188 --> 00:13:41,348
Speaker 9: their biggest need is from personnel. The team that I'm

349
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:45,308
Speaker 9: going to talk about, their biggest blessing is their personnel,

350
00:13:45,348 --> 00:13:47,468
Speaker 9: their their players, And the team I'm talking about is

351
00:13:47,468 --> 00:13:51,388
Speaker 9: the Chicago Bears. The biggest question they had was from leadership.

352
00:13:51,428 --> 00:13:53,908
Speaker 9: It was from the coaching staff. Obviously, we know Ben Johnson,

353
00:13:53,948 --> 00:13:56,708
Speaker 9: we know that he's this elite play caller, but there's

354
00:13:56,788 --> 00:14:00,708
Speaker 9: questions about can he is instill a culture, a winning culture.

355
00:14:00,828 --> 00:14:02,628
Speaker 9: Does he have the ability to stand in front of

356
00:14:02,628 --> 00:14:06,468
Speaker 9: an NFL locker room and command that presence, command that respect. Well,

357
00:14:06,508 --> 00:14:09,108
Speaker 9: then he goes and he hires Antwan Randall.

358
00:14:09,068 --> 00:14:11,108
Speaker 4: L who was with him in Detroit Lions. And I

359
00:14:11,148 --> 00:14:11,628
Speaker 4: don't know if you.

360
00:14:11,628 --> 00:14:15,188
Speaker 9: Guys remember that that scene of him running down literally

361
00:14:15,268 --> 00:14:18,068
Speaker 9: like talking about the combine, Like this man was literally

362
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:20,788
Speaker 9: running a forty yard des Look at him go just

363
00:14:20,948 --> 00:14:23,028
Speaker 9: running down a side. Look at the energy, look at

364
00:14:23,108 --> 00:14:25,948
Speaker 9: the passion. Look that's called culture. So he goes and

365
00:14:25,988 --> 00:14:28,428
Speaker 9: he brings him in and then you understand that they

366
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:31,948
Speaker 9: have questions from the offensive line. Can they keep Caleb

367
00:14:31,988 --> 00:14:34,188
Speaker 9: Williams on his feet? Well, they go on. They sign

368
00:14:34,788 --> 00:14:37,708
Speaker 9: signed Dan Rochar. Now, Dan Roschar was the offensive o

369
00:14:37,828 --> 00:14:40,828
Speaker 9: lineman coach when I was in New Orleans for the

370
00:14:40,868 --> 00:14:43,388
Speaker 9: three years that we are there, we gave up the

371
00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:48,548
Speaker 9: least amount of sacks sixty five. The next was fifteen

372
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:52,268
Speaker 9: sacks more than that. So that's how great our offensive

373
00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:55,668
Speaker 9: line was under Dan Rochar. They signed Dennis Allen. What

374
00:14:55,708 --> 00:14:58,548
Speaker 9: I like about the Dennis Allen defensive coordinator move and

375
00:14:58,588 --> 00:15:01,948
Speaker 9: that fit is Dennis Allen runs a very similar scheme

376
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:02,868
Speaker 9: to what they've ran in.

377
00:15:02,828 --> 00:15:03,828
Speaker 4: The past with Iberflus.

378
00:15:03,828 --> 00:15:06,828
Speaker 9: He's a two high safety quarters cover two, so there's

379
00:15:06,868 --> 00:15:10,548
Speaker 9: carry over. But the playmaker, the X factor that they signed,

380
00:15:10,588 --> 00:15:12,788
Speaker 9: in my opinion, is Al Harris and if you don't

381
00:15:12,788 --> 00:15:15,748
Speaker 9: know who Al Harris is, guys, for the past five years,

382
00:15:15,788 --> 00:15:17,828
Speaker 9: Al Harris has been in Dallas.

383
00:15:17,908 --> 00:15:20,028
Speaker 4: When he was with Dan Quinn, that.

384
00:15:19,988 --> 00:15:23,508
Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys defense was the best defense in the National

385
00:15:23,508 --> 00:15:25,788
Speaker 9: Football League for the past three four years that they

386
00:15:25,828 --> 00:15:30,108
Speaker 9: were there. While under Al Harris, Trayvon Diggs had a

387
00:15:30,228 --> 00:15:34,108
Speaker 9: league high eleven interceptions in twenty twenty one, his first

388
00:15:34,148 --> 00:15:37,948
Speaker 9: all pro season. In twenty twenty three, d ron Bland

389
00:15:37,988 --> 00:15:41,188
Speaker 9: had nine interceptions, another league high, and set an NFL

390
00:15:41,268 --> 00:15:44,708
Speaker 9: record with five pick sixes. So you imagine what that

391
00:15:44,748 --> 00:15:48,588
Speaker 9: marriage between Al Harris and those dbs over there in Chicago.

392
00:15:48,268 --> 00:15:49,028
Speaker 4: Is going to look like.

393
00:15:49,268 --> 00:15:53,028
Speaker 9: Jalen Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Jakwan Brisker, Kevin Byern.

394
00:15:53,348 --> 00:15:55,308
Speaker 4: Imagine what that defense is going to be.

395
00:15:55,428 --> 00:15:58,428
Speaker 9: So for me, it's been so intriguing to watch the

396
00:15:58,468 --> 00:16:02,228
Speaker 9: Bears and watch Ben Johnson surround himself with the caliber

397
00:16:02,268 --> 00:16:04,348
Speaker 9: of coaches that he's bringing in over there in chicag

398
00:16:04,708 --> 00:16:09,508
Speaker 9: So it's quite the contrast between the Patriots and the Bears.

399
00:16:10,028 --> 00:16:12,148
Speaker 9: So I'm so excited to see what they got going

400
00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:12,788
Speaker 9: on in Chicago.

401
00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:15,308
Speaker 3: I like the way you flip clubbed that because it's

402
00:16:15,348 --> 00:16:18,348
Speaker 3: exactly right. The intrigue sometimes doesn't just have to come

403
00:16:18,348 --> 00:16:21,228
Speaker 3: from players being signed. I guess mine is a little

404
00:16:21,228 --> 00:16:24,228
Speaker 3: bit of both, because I'll tell a small story from

405
00:16:24,308 --> 00:16:26,628
Speaker 3: Radio Rogue. What feels like a month ago, but it

406
00:16:26,668 --> 00:16:29,388
Speaker 3: was like ten days ago during Super Bowl Week, I

407
00:16:29,548 --> 00:16:31,388
Speaker 3: sit down, I did a bunch of different stops on

408
00:16:31,468 --> 00:16:34,228
Speaker 3: Radio Row, and I sit down with the Raiders. And

409
00:16:34,428 --> 00:16:36,868
Speaker 3: I was not prepared in this interview for how in

410
00:16:36,948 --> 00:16:39,308
Speaker 3: depth the Raiders wanted me to go on their draft

411
00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:42,988
Speaker 3: prospects and what direction at the number six pick, Jamie,

412
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:45,068
Speaker 3: do you think they could take somebody from the SEC?

413
00:16:45,188 --> 00:16:48,308
Speaker 2: And I was like, WHOA, Like, we're talking to egos

414
00:16:48,388 --> 00:16:49,468
Speaker 2: chiefs here? What are we doing?

415
00:16:49,548 --> 00:16:51,028
Speaker 3: I almost feel like now I want to answer those

416
00:16:51,068 --> 00:16:53,588
Speaker 3: question Raiders, because I spent some time thinking about how

417
00:16:53,668 --> 00:16:55,748
Speaker 3: you are the most intriguing team this offseason.

418
00:16:56,068 --> 00:16:56,748
Speaker 2: We talked a.

419
00:16:56,708 --> 00:16:59,388
Speaker 3: Lot last summer about how Harbaugh is going to change

420
00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:02,268
Speaker 3: the culture in LA and what he can represent in

421
00:17:02,308 --> 00:17:05,348
Speaker 3: the AFC West. This division now sent three teams to

422
00:17:05,348 --> 00:17:07,948
Speaker 3: the playoffs last offseason. I'm not saying the Raiders are

423
00:17:07,988 --> 00:17:09,788
Speaker 3: going to be a playoff team next January. What I'm

424
00:17:09,788 --> 00:17:12,748
Speaker 3: saying is that man Pete Carroll, who is a legend

425
00:17:12,828 --> 00:17:15,788
Speaker 3: amongst men at the college level and in the NFL.

426
00:17:16,228 --> 00:17:18,068
Speaker 2: He was brought in for a reason. And then the

427
00:17:18,108 --> 00:17:19,788
Speaker 2: decision for him to hire.

428
00:17:19,588 --> 00:17:22,628
Speaker 3: Chip Kelly a couple weeks back as his offensive coordinator.

429
00:17:22,948 --> 00:17:25,068
Speaker 3: What is this team going to do at quarterback? They

430
00:17:25,108 --> 00:17:27,548
Speaker 3: have the number six pick, now could they jump up?

431
00:17:27,548 --> 00:17:29,148
Speaker 3: We're going to top quarterbacks that are going to be

432
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:30,588
Speaker 3: working out at the combine this week.

433
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:33,228
Speaker 2: They have the second most cap space behind Cody.

434
00:17:33,028 --> 00:17:35,708
Speaker 3: Kelser's New England Patriots, and they got to figure out

435
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:37,588
Speaker 3: what they're doing with Max Crosby, who has two years

436
00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:40,268
Speaker 3: left on his deal with zero guaranteed money. And after

437
00:17:40,308 --> 00:17:43,268
Speaker 3: having that man in on set on GMFB, makes me

438
00:17:43,308 --> 00:17:45,188
Speaker 3: feel like pay that man his money. He is the

439
00:17:45,308 --> 00:17:48,308
Speaker 3: ultimate leader, the quintessential defensive line than that you have

440
00:17:48,388 --> 00:17:52,028
Speaker 3: on that roster. So I am very intrigued. And that

441
00:17:52,108 --> 00:17:55,348
Speaker 3: might be not a positive word that I'm using. It's like,

442
00:17:55,348 --> 00:17:57,308
Speaker 3: you guys got to do right by this head coach

443
00:17:57,348 --> 00:18:00,708
Speaker 3: that you brought in, by this potential and an offensive coordinator,

444
00:18:00,948 --> 00:18:03,628
Speaker 3: and the fact that you have a star on defense

445
00:18:03,868 --> 00:18:05,908
Speaker 3: and now you got to build, oh, by the way,

446
00:18:06,148 --> 00:18:08,388
Speaker 3: with a team and your division that is constantly in

447
00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:10,708
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, and that is your barometer, which is

448
00:18:10,788 --> 00:18:13,668
Speaker 3: brutal if you are looking all the time, Peter at

449
00:18:13,708 --> 00:18:15,628
Speaker 3: your opponent in the Kansas City Chiefs.

450
00:18:15,908 --> 00:18:17,868
Speaker 5: Yeah, I went through the Steelers and I said, hey,

451
00:18:17,908 --> 00:18:19,348
Speaker 5: is this where this guy ends up? This where this

452
00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:21,548
Speaker 5: guy ends up. The Raiders have a giant void at

453
00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:23,788
Speaker 5: quarterback unless you think Ada O'Connell's the guy, which I'm

454
00:18:23,788 --> 00:18:26,308
Speaker 5: not sure they do, which leads me to the question

455
00:18:26,388 --> 00:18:30,388
Speaker 5: of if you're a Stafford or a Rodgers or a Cousins,

456
00:18:30,908 --> 00:18:34,468
Speaker 5: when you see that Raiders logo, is that retirement village

457
00:18:34,548 --> 00:18:36,868
Speaker 5: last stop on the tour? Or is there a legitimate

458
00:18:36,948 --> 00:18:40,788
Speaker 5: chance that you can potentially compete with Sean Payton and

459
00:18:40,788 --> 00:18:43,428
Speaker 5: bow Nicks, and with Justin Herbert and Harbaugh and of

460
00:18:43,428 --> 00:18:44,468
Speaker 5: course Mahomes and Reid.

461
00:18:44,508 --> 00:18:45,788
Speaker 2: It's a very hard division.

462
00:18:45,908 --> 00:18:46,868
Speaker 6: It's an uphill.

463
00:18:46,588 --> 00:18:49,028
Speaker 5: Battle, but there are a lot of veteran quarterbacks and

464
00:18:49,068 --> 00:18:50,708
Speaker 5: the carousel's going to be going around.

465
00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:51,948
Speaker 6: Someone's going to end.

466
00:18:51,908 --> 00:18:54,668
Speaker 5: Up in Vegas unless they draft someone like Shador or

467
00:18:54,708 --> 00:18:55,948
Speaker 5: cam Ward Man.

468
00:18:56,028 --> 00:18:58,108
Speaker 3: And the fact that you have Pete Carroll, who feels

469
00:18:58,108 --> 00:18:59,708
Speaker 3: it could be linked to a lot of different names,

470
00:18:59,748 --> 00:19:02,428
Speaker 3: makes it all the more fun in free agency next month.

471
00:19:02,468 --> 00:19:04,148
Speaker 2: But this week we have the NFL Combine.

472
00:19:04,188 --> 00:19:07,388
Speaker 3: It is presented by Microsoft Copilot, where a dream that

473
00:19:07,548 --> 00:19:11,188
Speaker 3: starts small can get really, really big, and a name

474
00:19:11,268 --> 00:19:13,868
Speaker 3: that's unknown can become the future of a team. Next

475
00:19:13,908 --> 00:19:16,508
Speaker 3: is here. It's the twenty twenty five NFL Combine. It's

Speaker 6: Pe shregs, Yeah, Jamie, you're wearing the shirt.

487
00:19:45,988 --> 00:19:48,788
Speaker 5: The Titans fans should be alert and should be on

488
00:19:48,868 --> 00:19:52,988
Speaker 5: board this entire month. They have the first overall pick

489
00:19:52,988 --> 00:19:54,668
Speaker 5: and they've got some decisions to make.

490
00:19:55,188 --> 00:19:56,388
Speaker 6: We're talking draft.

491
00:19:56,468 --> 00:19:56,828
Speaker 4: Baby.

493
00:19:59,628 --> 00:20:00,588
Speaker 7: It's Combine week.

494
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:03,708
Speaker 3: Let's go send me to re stuff Fantasy Night on

495

00:20:05,628 --> 00:20:18,748
Speaker 10: Please good mornall, Welcome back to GMFB.

497
00:20:18,908 --> 00:20:20,948
Speaker 5: It's time for a segment we call we interer we out.

498
00:20:20,948 --> 00:20:21,908
Speaker 6: Here's how it works.

499
00:20:22,148 --> 00:20:24,228
Speaker 5: I say a statement and then my co hosts in

500
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:26,268
Speaker 5: La tell me whether they agree with it or they

501
00:20:26,348 --> 00:20:29,988
Speaker 5: veheminently disagree with it. It causes great debate. And we

502
00:20:30,028 --> 00:20:31,628
Speaker 5: start with the draft. Let's take a look at the

503
00:20:31,668 --> 00:20:34,948
Speaker 5: draft order as we head into drafts season here on

504
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:35,908
Speaker 5: NFL Network.

505
00:20:36,868 --> 00:20:38,868
Speaker 6: Let's look at the top. It's the Titans.

506
00:20:38,988 --> 00:20:41,028
Speaker 5: Then it's the Browns, and it's the Giants, and it's

507
00:20:41,108 --> 00:20:43,188
Speaker 5: Cody Kessler's aforementioned team.

508
00:20:42,988 --> 00:20:43,828
Speaker 6: The Patriots.

509
00:20:44,068 --> 00:20:47,828
Speaker 5: Then it's Cody Kessler's other aforementioned team, the Jaguars. And

510
00:20:47,948 --> 00:20:51,548
Speaker 5: we got the Raiders, the Jets, the Panthers, Mantai Teo, Saints,

511
00:20:52,108 --> 00:20:55,508
Speaker 5: and then the Bears. And then we've got Daniel Jeremiah's

512
00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:59,548
Speaker 5: latest mock draft. This was twenty twenty five's two point

513
00:20:59,668 --> 00:21:03,588
Speaker 5: zero and he actually has the top pick, being a

514
00:21:03,668 --> 00:21:07,348
Speaker 5: pass rusher Abdul Carter out of the Big Ten in

515
00:21:07,428 --> 00:21:12,828
Speaker 5: Penn State. Tennessee Titans first pick overall, they don't trade out,

516
00:21:13,268 --> 00:21:14,868
Speaker 5: and they take a pass rusher.

517
00:21:16,228 --> 00:21:17,508
Speaker 6: Let's already get into it.

518
00:21:17,548 --> 00:21:17,868
Speaker 7: Guys.

519
00:21:17,908 --> 00:21:21,748
Speaker 5: Here is my statement and Titans, if you're watching, we

520
00:21:21,908 --> 00:21:26,348
Speaker 5: appreciate your viewership. Yes, the Titans can afford to skip

521
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:30,068
Speaker 5: on taking a quarterback with the first overall pick. Are

522
00:21:30,068 --> 00:21:32,668
Speaker 5: we in or are we out? We will start with

523
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:35,468
Speaker 5: our lovely co host, who is wearing a Titan switch.

524
00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:37,748
Speaker 2: Let's do it, miss Jamie or Jamie?

525
00:21:37,788 --> 00:21:38,228
Speaker 5: What do you think?

526
00:21:38,388 --> 00:21:40,868
Speaker 2: I don't know why. No, I'm going first. I always

527
00:21:40,908 --> 00:21:42,188
Speaker 2: go first. We in reapp.

528
00:21:43,788 --> 00:21:47,308
Speaker 3: No, no, no, Peter's right, okay, we always. It doesn't matter

529
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,628
Speaker 3: what that says. We don't pay attention to the prompter.

530
00:21:49,788 --> 00:21:52,388
Speaker 3: We look at what Damie goes first, and we canna react. Frankly,

531
00:21:52,428 --> 00:21:54,428
Speaker 3: I get so, I get so caught off guard during

532
00:21:54,468 --> 00:21:56,788
Speaker 3: We and We ott, I was I prepared for this segment.

533
00:21:56,988 --> 00:21:58,868
Speaker 3: There is an article from that I was reading on

534
00:21:58,948 --> 00:22:01,708
Speaker 3: the Tennessee and Nick Sus I like your take, Nix Sus.

535
00:22:01,748 --> 00:22:04,868
Speaker 3: It says the Tennessee Titans should call all trade partners

536
00:22:04,868 --> 00:22:05,948
Speaker 3: and hulking linemen.

537
00:22:06,108 --> 00:22:08,308
Speaker 2: So yet, Peter, I am in.

538
00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:10,268
Speaker 3: On the fact that they can afford to skip on

539
00:22:10,388 --> 00:22:13,028
Speaker 3: quarterback with the first overall pick. They can either trade

540
00:22:13,028 --> 00:22:15,588
Speaker 3: back for a team that is oh so desperate for

541
00:22:15,948 --> 00:22:19,028
Speaker 3: a quarterback or I like that passworder take and I

542
00:22:19,068 --> 00:22:21,788
Speaker 3: will pretty much take anything, Daniel Jeremiah says to the bank.

543
00:22:21,908 --> 00:22:23,628
Speaker 3: So I like the fact that they are going to

544
00:22:23,948 --> 00:22:26,428
Speaker 3: skip at least what DJ says on the number one

545
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:28,628
Speaker 3: overall pick with quarterback trade sus, you are allowed to

546
00:22:28,668 --> 00:22:30,268
Speaker 3: go trade us, Jamie, No, no trade?

547
00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:31,508
Speaker 4: Is that the person's name?

548
00:22:31,588 --> 00:22:32,148
Speaker 7: Nexus?

549
00:22:32,228 --> 00:22:35,308
Speaker 4: Nix sus, next us, next US. I'm with you, nix Sus.

550
00:22:35,308 --> 00:22:37,188
Speaker 4: I like it. I am totally in on this. And

551
00:22:37,228 --> 00:22:39,028
Speaker 4: the reason being is if you look.

552
00:22:38,868 --> 00:22:41,708
Speaker 9: At this year's draft class as far as quarterbacks are concerned,

553
00:22:41,868 --> 00:22:44,188
Speaker 9: it's not like the past two draft classes. Last year

554
00:22:44,268 --> 00:22:47,788
Speaker 9: we had Caleb Williams, we had Jaden Daniels, Boone Nicks,

555
00:22:47,868 --> 00:22:50,388
Speaker 9: Drake Made. The year before that, we had Bryce Young, CJ.

556
00:22:50,468 --> 00:22:50,868
Speaker 4: Stroud.

557
00:22:50,988 --> 00:22:53,388
Speaker 9: This isn't that type of year. And your right side

558
00:22:53,388 --> 00:22:55,188
Speaker 9: of your O line needs some help. So there's some

559
00:22:55,228 --> 00:22:58,428
Speaker 9: good offensive linemen that you could draft number one overall.

560
00:22:58,628 --> 00:23:00,628
Speaker 9: Because I don't know if you watched the Super Bowl,

561
00:23:00,988 --> 00:23:03,588
Speaker 9: but the Philadelphia Egos were able to just torture our

562
00:23:03,588 --> 00:23:05,908
Speaker 9: offensive line, which four guys, So if you don't want

563
00:23:05,908 --> 00:23:06,308
Speaker 9: you could.

564
00:23:06,228 --> 00:23:07,828
Speaker 4: Have a future Hall of Famer at quarterback.

565
00:23:08,068 --> 00:23:10,028
Speaker 9: But if you don't have the ability to keep him

566
00:23:10,028 --> 00:23:12,028
Speaker 9: on his feet, it don't matter who's back there.

567
00:23:12,388 --> 00:23:14,028
Speaker 4: He's not going to be He's not going to do anything.

568
00:23:14,068 --> 00:23:16,828
Speaker 9: So I will I'm totally on this up people.

569
00:23:16,868 --> 00:23:17,628
Speaker 4: What's up? Strikes?

570
00:23:17,788 --> 00:23:19,988
Speaker 5: They took an offensive lineman in the first round of

571
00:23:20,028 --> 00:23:21,628
Speaker 5: the top ten last year, they did it the year

572
00:23:21,668 --> 00:23:24,268
Speaker 5: before with Scoronsky. They're not taking offensive line So the

573
00:23:24,348 --> 00:23:27,148
Speaker 5: question is do you take a pass rusher.

574
00:23:26,828 --> 00:23:28,628
Speaker 6: And then and then you got Will Levis?

575
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:31,508
Speaker 5: You're taking a right tackle first overall, that's not happening.

576
00:23:31,588 --> 00:23:34,788
Speaker 5: So let's reinsest this from you. Could you pass on

577
00:23:34,828 --> 00:23:36,668
Speaker 5: a quarterback? Could you roll with Will Levis? Or go

578
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:38,468
Speaker 5: with a free agent quarterback? Is that how you look

579
00:23:38,468 --> 00:23:38,708
Speaker 5: at it.

580
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:40,108
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you roll with Will Levis.

581
00:23:40,148 --> 00:23:42,308
Speaker 9: I'm saying there's a lot of free agents out there

582
00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:45,508
Speaker 9: right now at the quarterback position that will be a

583
00:23:45,548 --> 00:23:48,228
Speaker 9: better fit for your for your program. I'm just saying

584
00:23:48,268 --> 00:23:51,388
Speaker 9: with the first overall pick, I don't think there's a

585
00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:55,068
Speaker 9: first overall pick caliber quarterback in this draft class. There's

586
00:23:55,108 --> 00:23:57,268
Speaker 9: nobody that I could look at that say a camera

587
00:23:57,428 --> 00:23:59,548
Speaker 9: or should There's nobody that I can look at it

588
00:23:59,588 --> 00:24:02,908
Speaker 9: say you're my franchise quarterback if I am the Tennessee Titans.

589
00:24:02,948 --> 00:24:06,268
Speaker 9: I do love Abdull Carter. I saw him just torture

590
00:24:06,508 --> 00:24:08,908
Speaker 9: my Notre Dame fighting Irish with only one arm. He

591
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:11,388
Speaker 9: had a right shouldered injury. And this guy was still

592
00:24:11,428 --> 00:24:13,388
Speaker 9: getting pressure. He's still making plays and I think in

593
00:24:13,428 --> 00:24:15,348
Speaker 9: the first series he had like three out of the

594
00:24:15,388 --> 00:24:18,348
Speaker 9: four tackles out of that first series. So I really

595
00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:20,188
Speaker 9: like Abduall Carter in this regard.

596
00:24:20,228 --> 00:24:22,028
Speaker 3: Okay, Cody, here comes your first test. If you go

597
00:24:22,148 --> 00:24:25,468
Speaker 3: all in three across the table, then Kyle Branton's usually

598
00:24:25,468 --> 00:24:26,628
Speaker 3: here throws this pen at the camera.

599
00:24:26,748 --> 00:24:28,108
Speaker 2: So are you going to go three? And oh on

600
00:24:28,148 --> 00:24:28,948
Speaker 2: the are you in on this?

601
00:24:29,148 --> 00:24:29,228
Speaker 3: No?

602
00:24:29,348 --> 00:24:31,828
Speaker 7: I wow, disagree on this one. I'm going to go out.

603
00:24:31,868 --> 00:24:33,748
Speaker 8: And maybe because I'm a quarterback, I'm a little biased

604
00:24:33,828 --> 00:24:36,068
Speaker 8: on this question here, Peter, but I think they take

605
00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:38,108
Speaker 8: a quarterback, and I agree with Manta I think Abduall

606
00:24:38,148 --> 00:24:39,908
Speaker 8: Carter is a very good football player. He's a red

607
00:24:39,948 --> 00:24:42,068
Speaker 8: dot player when we're on offense, right, Mantinos, When you

608
00:24:42,108 --> 00:24:43,868
Speaker 8: get in the film room, you put the red laser

609
00:24:43,868 --> 00:24:45,828
Speaker 8: pointer on a the coach does and says, Hey, this

610
00:24:45,868 --> 00:24:48,548
Speaker 8: guy can disrupt a game plan like an Aaron Donald, right,

611
00:24:48,628 --> 00:24:49,268
Speaker 8: like TJ.

612
00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:51,988
Speaker 7: Watt on the edge. I think Abdul Carter is that

613
00:24:52,148 --> 00:24:53,148
Speaker 7: caliber of a player.

614
00:24:53,428 --> 00:24:55,548
Speaker 8: But the reason that I think the Titans go quarterback

615
00:24:55,748 --> 00:24:57,588
Speaker 8: is because of their new head coach, Brian Callahan.

616
00:24:57,668 --> 00:24:57,788
Speaker 4: Right.

617
00:24:57,788 --> 00:24:59,828
Speaker 8: What he's been able to do the last five years

618
00:24:59,908 --> 00:25:02,428
Speaker 8: is the offensive coordinator for the Bengals with Joe Burrow,

619
00:25:02,548 --> 00:25:05,428
Speaker 8: and his development has been very impressed. He took Joe Burrow,

620
00:25:05,468 --> 00:25:07,868
Speaker 8: who had two injuries during that time, right, who one

621
00:25:07,948 --> 00:25:10,588
Speaker 8: comeback player of the Year, who had to overcome adversity,

622
00:25:10,748 --> 00:25:12,308
Speaker 8: and he allowed him to become the quarterback that.

623
00:25:12,268 --> 00:25:12,748
Speaker 7: He is today.

624
00:25:12,788 --> 00:25:12,908
Speaker 4: Right.

625
00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:14,508
Speaker 8: And Zach Taylor was a big part of that in

626
00:25:14,548 --> 00:25:17,548
Speaker 8: the pieces around him. But Brian Callahan was instrumental in

627
00:25:17,588 --> 00:25:19,628
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow's success. I think if he goes out and

628
00:25:19,668 --> 00:25:22,548
Speaker 8: the guy I'm taking to be more upfront is cam Or,

629
00:25:22,948 --> 00:25:24,268
Speaker 8: I would go out and take cam Ord.

630
00:25:24,308 --> 00:25:26,308
Speaker 7: I think his arm talent is off the charts.

631
00:25:26,348 --> 00:25:27,828
Speaker 8: I think he can make every throw that you can

632
00:25:27,868 --> 00:25:31,148
Speaker 8: ask him to make from a platform, right from throwing sidearms,

633
00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:33,228
Speaker 8: getting over the top with without getting his feet involved.

634
00:25:33,228 --> 00:25:35,188
Speaker 8: There's a throw in the Bowl game where he's standing

635
00:25:35,188 --> 00:25:36,668
Speaker 8: flat footed and just flicks it to the back of

636
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:39,948
Speaker 8: the end zone. He just has that natural thrower ability

637
00:25:39,948 --> 00:25:42,108
Speaker 8: which is very impressive. He just needs to learn when

638
00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:43,628
Speaker 8: to play hero Ball and when not to when to

639
00:25:43,668 --> 00:25:45,868
Speaker 8: be Superman, and when it's okay to be Clark Kent,

640
00:25:46,068 --> 00:25:48,508
Speaker 8: and I think Brian Callahan can help him do that.

641
00:25:48,628 --> 00:25:48,788
Speaker 4: Right.

642
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:51,148
Speaker 7: But if I was to say that I'm in on

643
00:25:51,188 --> 00:25:51,948
Speaker 7: that and that.

644
00:25:51,868 --> 00:25:53,548
Speaker 8: They don't go that route and they go free agency,

645
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:55,948
Speaker 8: like Manti said, fifty million in cap space, they could

646
00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:58,028
Speaker 8: go out and get a bridge quarterback if they want

647
00:25:58,068 --> 00:25:59,788
Speaker 8: to take some time and then maybe wait till later

648
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:03,068
Speaker 8: drafts to find their rookie quarterback or their future franchise player.

649
00:26:03,068 --> 00:26:04,348
Speaker 8: But yeah, I'm disagreeing on this on I'm going to

650
00:26:04,428 --> 00:26:05,668
Speaker 8: go out and I think they take Camboy.

651
00:26:05,868 --> 00:26:06,748
Speaker 2: I like it.

652
00:26:07,868 --> 00:26:10,908
Speaker 5: I love that Cody's talking quarterback play because here he

653
00:26:11,068 --> 00:26:14,188
Speaker 5: is a great USC quarterback and the guy that succeeded

654
00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:16,508
Speaker 5: him might be a free agent. I look at Sam

655
00:26:16,628 --> 00:26:19,788
Speaker 5: Darnold as a real possibility for Tennessee if the Vikings

656
00:26:19,868 --> 00:26:22,388
Speaker 5: let Sam Donald walk is. It's not perfect. They have

657
00:26:22,508 --> 00:26:25,788
Speaker 5: the offensive line, they have the young quarterback coach. They

658
00:26:25,788 --> 00:26:28,868
Speaker 5: have Nickoles an offensive coordinator. To me, Sam Darnald and

659
00:26:28,908 --> 00:26:30,668
Speaker 5: doing that on like the first day of free agency,

660
00:26:30,708 --> 00:26:33,028
Speaker 5: take all the money go, and then you get Abduall Carter.

661
00:26:33,468 --> 00:26:36,308
Speaker 5: You could have both another quarterback to watch. You mentioned Callie,

662
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,348
Speaker 5: and I haven't seen this anywhere and I'm not really

663
00:26:38,548 --> 00:26:41,028
Speaker 5: as up to date on Titans dot com and the Titans.

664
00:26:40,748 --> 00:26:41,668
Speaker 6: Reddit message boards.

665
00:26:41,668 --> 00:26:44,068
Speaker 5: But you talk about Callahan, He's got a lot of

666
00:26:44,108 --> 00:26:46,468
Speaker 5: success with Derek Carr in his career. If the Saints

667
00:26:46,508 --> 00:26:49,068
Speaker 5: are looking to ship Derek Carr somewhere, I would think

668
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:52,708
Speaker 5: Tennessee as a bridge quarterback situation could make sense reuniting

669
00:26:52,828 --> 00:26:54,028
Speaker 5: Brian Callahan and Derek Carr.

670
00:26:54,028 --> 00:26:54,508
Speaker 4: But I'm with you.

671
00:26:54,548 --> 00:26:57,308
Speaker 5: I don't think you take a quarterback first overall. If

672
00:26:57,308 --> 00:26:59,748
Speaker 5: there's all these veteran quarterbacks and there's a guy like

673
00:26:59,788 --> 00:27:01,788
Speaker 5: Abdul Carter available, Mantai.

674
00:27:01,508 --> 00:27:03,428
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give you another whack at this.

675
00:27:03,468 --> 00:27:05,468
Speaker 5: Because you said that you take a guard first overall.

676
00:27:05,508 --> 00:27:06,548
Speaker 4: What do you think he.

677
00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:09,828
Speaker 9: Might not shrikes right tackle that they need the right

678
00:27:09,868 --> 00:27:10,388
Speaker 9: side strikes.

679
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:11,908
Speaker 4: I know you just said they had to line the

680
00:27:12,028 --> 00:27:14,028
Speaker 4: right side. Is that I don't know?

681
00:27:14,108 --> 00:27:16,868
Speaker 2: Maybe does ever more offendive shregs you.

682
00:27:17,188 --> 00:27:19,708
Speaker 9: It was like a personal insult on that they have

683
00:27:19,748 --> 00:27:22,868
Speaker 9: an a line and.

684
00:27:22,828 --> 00:27:26,548
Speaker 8: Man times the defensive guys saying take offense first, we

685
00:27:26,588 --> 00:27:27,348
Speaker 8: can give me anyway.

686
00:27:27,428 --> 00:27:29,308
Speaker 9: I wanted to ask Cody this. I know you brought

687
00:27:29,348 --> 00:27:31,348
Speaker 9: up cam Ward and I really like him. He's my

688
00:27:31,348 --> 00:27:34,348
Speaker 9: favorite quarterback in this draft. Now, the thing about cam Ward,

689
00:27:34,348 --> 00:27:37,068
Speaker 9: and I'm really asking you because you you know this better.

690
00:27:36,908 --> 00:27:38,508
Speaker 4: Than me, I don't know.

691
00:27:38,828 --> 00:27:43,068
Speaker 9: With cam Ward's lack of experience under center, how that

692
00:27:43,308 --> 00:27:46,388
Speaker 9: will you know, maybe kind of hurt him or his

693
00:27:46,468 --> 00:27:50,108
Speaker 9: development in the NFL? Is that something from a quarterbacks perspective,

694
00:27:50,148 --> 00:27:52,868
Speaker 9: when you're under center compared to when you're in shotgun?

695
00:27:52,988 --> 00:27:55,108
Speaker 9: Majority of time I look back at his Washington State

696
00:27:55,628 --> 00:27:57,748
Speaker 9: highlight tape, A lot of it is shotgun. You look

697
00:27:57,788 --> 00:27:59,428
Speaker 9: at all his Miami stuff shotgun?

698
00:27:59,508 --> 00:28:00,028
Speaker 4: So how is that?

699
00:28:00,468 --> 00:28:01,908
Speaker 3: Before you answer this, know that you were here for

700
00:28:01,948 --> 00:28:04,748
Speaker 3: four more days and you don't have to in your

701
00:28:04,788 --> 00:28:05,388
Speaker 3: cam Ward take.

702
00:28:05,428 --> 00:28:08,308
Speaker 8: Right now, I'll tell you right now just a little

703
00:28:08,348 --> 00:28:11,108
Speaker 8: preview for later on this episode tomorrow, we are going

704
00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:12,748
Speaker 8: to talk a lot more about quarterbacks and where I

705
00:28:12,748 --> 00:28:14,188
Speaker 8: found that. But I do I will say what I

706
00:28:14,228 --> 00:28:15,948
Speaker 8: agree with is. I do think cam Ward is the

707
00:28:15,948 --> 00:28:17,988
Speaker 8: first quarterback in this draft. I think he's a very

708
00:28:17,988 --> 00:28:20,308
Speaker 8: good player. Even before Washington State, I'll razy when he

709
00:28:20,308 --> 00:28:22,628
Speaker 8: went to Incarnate word right and they were a shotgun

710
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:24,508
Speaker 8: pretty much ninety nine point nine percent of the time

711
00:28:24,628 --> 00:28:25,468
Speaker 8: goes to Washington State.

712
00:28:25,548 --> 00:28:25,948
Speaker 4: Same thing.

713
00:28:26,188 --> 00:28:28,548
Speaker 8: I think if we're talking maybe five, six, seven years ago,

714
00:28:28,588 --> 00:28:30,788
Speaker 8: mantid that makes a little bit more sense. In today's

715
00:28:30,788 --> 00:28:33,548
Speaker 8: era of the NFL. There's not a ton of under centered.

716
00:28:33,548 --> 00:28:35,828
Speaker 8: They're getting away from that pos style type of offense, right.

717
00:28:35,868 --> 00:28:39,428
Speaker 8: And then Brian Callahan when you see him back in Cincinnati,

718
00:28:39,508 --> 00:28:39,868
Speaker 8: the same thing.

719
00:28:39,908 --> 00:28:40,908
Speaker 7: There's a lot of shotgun right.

720
00:28:40,908 --> 00:28:42,748
Speaker 8: It's a lot of situational football. But I don't think

721
00:28:42,788 --> 00:28:44,428
Speaker 8: it's going to hurt him too much. I think where

722
00:28:44,428 --> 00:28:47,028
Speaker 8: teams really excel, especially with the number one overall pick,

723
00:28:47,188 --> 00:28:49,508
Speaker 8: is when they tailor their team to the quarterback that

724
00:28:49,548 --> 00:28:50,988
Speaker 8: they just brought in. Instead of bringing a guy in

725
00:28:51,028 --> 00:28:52,468
Speaker 8: and saying, all right, you better fit in our scheme

726
00:28:52,588 --> 00:28:53,948
Speaker 8: or it's not going to work. Right, it's just a

727
00:28:54,028 --> 00:28:56,108
Speaker 8: lose lose in that situation. You just got to be

728
00:28:56,148 --> 00:28:57,788
Speaker 8: able to if you're going to bring a quarterback in

729
00:28:57,868 --> 00:28:58,188
Speaker 8: to make.

730
00:28:58,068 --> 00:29:00,108
Speaker 7: Your offense work for him like a cam Warden.

731
00:29:00,188 --> 00:29:02,548
Speaker 5: Sure, okay, I love this and it's going to be

732
00:29:02,588 --> 00:29:04,188
Speaker 5: all week. We're going to be talking cam Ward. We

733
00:29:04,268 --> 00:29:06,788
Speaker 5: are going to talk Shandor Sanders, we will talk Jackson Dark,

734
00:29:06,868 --> 00:29:09,468
Speaker 5: we will talk all of these guys because it is

735
00:29:09,508 --> 00:29:12,548
Speaker 5: a draft and it really starts this week at the Combine.

736
00:29:12,548 --> 00:29:15,788
Speaker 5: All right, sticking in that division, you know, the Jaguars

737
00:29:15,788 --> 00:29:18,508
Speaker 5: made a pretty splashy hire last week while our show

738
00:29:18,628 --> 00:29:20,068
Speaker 5: was off the air for a week, and it was

739
00:29:20,148 --> 00:29:24,788
Speaker 5: James Gladstone, thirty four year old as their general manager.

740
00:29:24,948 --> 00:29:28,428
Speaker 5: Thirty four years old, comes from the Rams organization. Take

741
00:29:28,468 --> 00:29:30,068
Speaker 5: a look at this tweet that I put out here.

742
00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:33,348
Speaker 5: This is just the facts, Hirium Gladstone. They now have

743
00:29:33,428 --> 00:29:35,988
Speaker 5: a thirty nine year old head coach and Liam Cohene

744
00:29:35,988 --> 00:29:38,508
Speaker 5: a thirty four year old GM, and James Gladstone, a

745
00:29:38,588 --> 00:29:42,308
Speaker 5: twenty nine year old offensive coordinator in Grant Newdnsky forty

746
00:29:42,348 --> 00:29:46,428
Speaker 5: two year old d C Anthony camp Campanel, and all

747
00:29:46,468 --> 00:29:49,348
Speaker 5: of them are in the first years in their respective roles.

748
00:29:49,348 --> 00:29:52,548
Speaker 5: So all first time, first time head coach, first time GM,

749
00:29:52,588 --> 00:29:56,988
Speaker 5: first time OC, first time DC. My statement is this,

750
00:29:57,908 --> 00:30:00,548
Speaker 5: with the hiring of a first time head coach GMOC

751
00:30:00,708 --> 00:30:04,508
Speaker 5: and DC Jacksonville. This is a little worries some with

752
00:30:04,548 --> 00:30:07,508
Speaker 5: the lack of experience and guys who have been there

753
00:30:07,508 --> 00:30:09,868
Speaker 5: and done that. Jamie, we start there with you as

754
00:30:09,868 --> 00:30:11,468
Speaker 5: we are a young show and we always like to

755
00:30:11,548 --> 00:30:14,228
Speaker 5: roll the dice on you. Yes, this is a really

756
00:30:14,348 --> 00:30:15,028
Speaker 5: young group.

757
00:30:15,308 --> 00:30:15,628
Speaker 7: Yeah.

758
00:30:15,708 --> 00:30:17,468
Speaker 2: I had never hosted a TV show before and they

759
00:30:17,508 --> 00:30:17,868
Speaker 2: hired me.

760
00:30:17,948 --> 00:30:20,108
Speaker 3: It was great a couple of years back, and here

761
00:30:20,148 --> 00:30:21,148
Speaker 3: I am three years later.

762
00:30:21,148 --> 00:30:23,028
Speaker 2: They can't get rid of me. I like the blind

763
00:30:23,108 --> 00:30:24,068
Speaker 2: leading the blind concept.

764
00:30:24,108 --> 00:30:24,308
Speaker 7: Peter.

765
00:30:24,428 --> 00:30:26,668
Speaker 3: This doesn't streuss me out at all. I guess I'm

766
00:30:26,708 --> 00:30:29,668
Speaker 3: out on this. This is their first time in these roles,

767
00:30:29,708 --> 00:30:33,188
Speaker 3: and that's a technicality because oftentimes guys like this get

768
00:30:33,268 --> 00:30:35,668
Speaker 3: hired a year or two after they will probably do

769
00:30:35,908 --> 00:30:38,948
Speaker 3: these certain jobs. And maybe these guys were available because

770
00:30:38,988 --> 00:30:41,668
Speaker 3: they were being picky, because they're good at these certain jobs.

771
00:30:41,668 --> 00:30:44,588
Speaker 3: The Liam Cohen experience has been a fascinating watch. The

772
00:30:44,628 --> 00:30:47,628
Speaker 3: fact that he bounced between Kentucky and LA and back

773
00:30:47,628 --> 00:30:49,588
Speaker 3: to Kentucky and the Baker Mayfield experience.

774
00:30:49,668 --> 00:30:50,548
Speaker 2: I love that hire.

775
00:30:50,708 --> 00:30:52,748
Speaker 3: And then to go after that, I don't know the

776
00:30:52,788 --> 00:30:54,188
Speaker 3: other guys as well as Shregs does.

777
00:30:54,228 --> 00:30:55,388
Speaker 2: But this doesn't worry me at all.

778
00:30:55,468 --> 00:30:56,908
Speaker 3: I think if you see this team all of a

779
00:30:56,948 --> 00:30:59,388
Speaker 3: sudden take back the division and division that is ripe

780
00:30:59,548 --> 00:31:02,908
Speaker 3: for overtaking at times in the AFC South Cody, this

781
00:31:02,948 --> 00:31:05,788
Speaker 3: doesn't truss me out at all that after this first

782
00:31:05,788 --> 00:31:08,228
Speaker 3: season together, maybe, but like at this point, it's just

783
00:31:08,228 --> 00:31:10,108
Speaker 3: like roll the dice out and play with these young guys.

784
00:31:10,188 --> 00:31:12,828
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm in on being worried Oka. I couldn't. I

785
00:31:12,868 --> 00:31:14,428
Speaker 7: don't really know how to worry ording this one, but

786
00:31:14,468 --> 00:31:15,468
Speaker 7: I'm in on the worrisome part.

787
00:31:15,908 --> 00:31:18,628
Speaker 8: I just yeah, I'm worrisome a little bit with the

788
00:31:18,708 --> 00:31:21,268
Speaker 8: young hires because it's just it's now, if you hire

789
00:31:21,268 --> 00:31:23,468
Speaker 8: a young head coach and Liam Cone and you surround

790
00:31:23,508 --> 00:31:26,388
Speaker 8: him with experience, maybe not as much worried, right, because

791
00:31:26,428 --> 00:31:27,868
Speaker 8: you have guys that he can learn from, that he

792
00:31:27,908 --> 00:31:30,348
Speaker 8: can lean on. But you have Udinsky first year, right,

793
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:32,548
Speaker 8: you have Campanelli first year, and then like Peter mentioned,

794
00:31:32,588 --> 00:31:34,948
Speaker 8: you have Gladstone, who's thirty four year old general manager. Now,

795
00:31:35,028 --> 00:31:36,948
Speaker 8: the upside of that is he was with Lesneed with

796
00:31:36,988 --> 00:31:39,228
Speaker 8: the Rams for the last nine years. He saw some

797
00:31:39,308 --> 00:31:41,788
Speaker 8: blockbuster trades, right, He saw the Stafford the golf trade,

798
00:31:41,788 --> 00:31:44,228
Speaker 8: he saw that went down. He understands how it or

799
00:31:44,228 --> 00:31:46,188
Speaker 8: what it takes to build a Super Bowl winning roster.

800
00:31:46,308 --> 00:31:47,788
Speaker 7: So those things all work for him.

801
00:31:47,828 --> 00:31:50,068
Speaker 8: Just the thing for me is that if this isn't

802
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:51,668
Speaker 8: right right, if this doesn't get them over that hump,

803
00:31:51,668 --> 00:31:52,708
Speaker 8: because they've been close before.

804
00:31:52,748 --> 00:31:53,548
Speaker 4: We go back to Doug.

805
00:31:53,428 --> 00:31:55,788
Speaker 8: Maron and I was on that twenty eighteen twenty eighteen team.

806
00:31:55,828 --> 00:31:57,748
Speaker 8: But before that, they go and play the Patriots in

807
00:31:57,748 --> 00:32:00,148
Speaker 8: the AFC Championship right a year away. This is our time.

808
00:32:00,148 --> 00:32:02,588
Speaker 8: We're going to take over the AFC South. Slowly, you know,

809
00:32:02,668 --> 00:32:05,108
Speaker 8: slowly regress. They go down and they go back and

810
00:32:05,388 --> 00:32:06,028
Speaker 8: kind of breeze over the.

811
00:32:06,108 --> 00:32:06,628
Speaker 7: Urban my heart.

812
00:32:06,668 --> 00:32:08,828
Speaker 8: But then we go to Doug Peterson, you have Trevor

813
00:32:08,868 --> 00:32:10,708
Speaker 8: Lawrence right then we see them win or go to

814
00:32:10,748 --> 00:32:12,548
Speaker 8: the playoffs and they have a chance to really take

815
00:32:12,548 --> 00:32:15,228
Speaker 8: over the AFC South again. Then they slowly digress again

816
00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:17,748
Speaker 8: and have a regression and go backwards. It's just frustrating

817
00:32:17,748 --> 00:32:19,068
Speaker 8: for all the fans out in New Ball. They want

818
00:32:19,108 --> 00:32:20,788
Speaker 8: to see it, you know, really turn the page and

819
00:32:20,788 --> 00:32:23,148
Speaker 8: take that next step. I just don't know if hiring

820
00:32:23,148 --> 00:32:25,788
Speaker 8: an all rookie staff, including your GM is going to

821
00:32:25,828 --> 00:32:26,628
Speaker 8: get him over that hump.

822
00:32:26,748 --> 00:32:27,788
Speaker 4: I'll ask you a question.

823
00:32:28,348 --> 00:32:30,708
Speaker 9: If they're fifty three man roster and they're all rookies,

824
00:32:30,708 --> 00:32:33,468
Speaker 9: would you be worriedsome would you?

825
00:32:33,628 --> 00:32:34,188
Speaker 7: Yeah?

826
00:32:34,228 --> 00:32:35,348
Speaker 6: Of course, Yeah, So.

827
00:32:35,308 --> 00:32:38,068
Speaker 4: That answers that's me. I'm in on that, Peter.

828
00:32:38,468 --> 00:32:42,548
Speaker 9: I am so worrisome that these are all rookie guys

829
00:32:42,668 --> 00:32:45,868
Speaker 9: at their positions. Now, Liam Cohen, I was worried. Worries

830
00:32:45,908 --> 00:32:48,748
Speaker 9: some from his his presser when he said, dude.

831
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:50,148
Speaker 6: I was waiting.

832
00:32:49,508 --> 00:32:54,068
Speaker 9: I was wried from we don't hear that, but from

833
00:32:54,828 --> 00:32:56,948
Speaker 9: the fact that there's all first year guys.

834
00:32:56,948 --> 00:32:58,188
Speaker 4: There's no veteran presence.

835
00:32:58,228 --> 00:33:00,308
Speaker 9: Whenever you have a first year head coach, you want

836
00:33:00,348 --> 00:33:03,148
Speaker 9: to make sure that you have somebody surrounding them that

837
00:33:03,188 --> 00:33:04,828
Speaker 9: can teach them, that can lead them to say, hey,

838
00:33:04,868 --> 00:33:07,228
Speaker 9: don't go down this path, don't make that call, don't

839
00:33:07,228 --> 00:33:09,748
Speaker 9: make this decision. Whatever it is, whether there's a head coach,

840
00:33:09,788 --> 00:33:12,748
Speaker 9: whether it's a linebacker, you want to make sure that

841
00:33:12,828 --> 00:33:14,828
Speaker 9: you have a veteran presence that kind of show him the.

842
00:33:14,868 --> 00:33:15,588
Speaker 4: Ropes a little bit.

843
00:33:15,868 --> 00:33:19,108
Speaker 9: So, Peter, for this subject, I am definitely a little

844
00:33:19,148 --> 00:33:21,588
Speaker 9: worrisome for the Jacksonville jag Wars.

845
00:33:21,748 --> 00:33:24,068
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fair, it's very it's different, and it's one

846
00:33:24,108 --> 00:33:26,948
Speaker 5: of those deals where when they got Liam Cohen from Tampa,

847
00:33:27,028 --> 00:33:28,548
Speaker 5: it is basically like, we got to give Liam the

848
00:33:28,628 --> 00:33:30,948
Speaker 5: keys because we need him to leave Tampa and being

849
00:33:30,948 --> 00:33:33,388
Speaker 5: the highest paid offensive coordinator in football and take a

850
00:33:33,468 --> 00:33:35,668
Speaker 5: risk on us, and in doing so, they gave away

851
00:33:35,708 --> 00:33:36,988
Speaker 5: a lot of the power and a lot of the

852
00:33:36,988 --> 00:33:39,748
Speaker 5: decision making. And I love that he says, you know what,

853
00:33:39,868 --> 00:33:41,748
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do what Sean McVay did and

854
00:33:41,868 --> 00:33:44,468
Speaker 5: hire Awaye Phillips. I'm not going to do what a

855
00:33:44,508 --> 00:33:46,708
Speaker 5: Stefanski didn't hire a Jim Schwartz.

856
00:33:46,748 --> 00:33:47,548
Speaker 7: I'm coming in there.

857
00:33:47,828 --> 00:33:49,788
Speaker 6: I'm hiring camp, who.

858
00:33:49,588 --> 00:33:52,268
Speaker 5: Is one of like the fiery defensive coordinators, but as

859
00:33:52,308 --> 00:33:54,828
Speaker 5: a first year coordinator, and it's forty two, I'm hiring

860
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:59,188
Speaker 5: Grant new Dinsky. Guys, his twenty nine nine. Grant is

861
00:33:59,228 --> 00:34:02,988
Speaker 5: twenty nine, twenty nine. And I have heard from from

862
00:34:03,148 --> 00:34:05,828
Speaker 5: various people who with him in Minnesota and they're like,

863
00:34:06,028 --> 00:34:08,868
Speaker 5: he is the brightest young offensive mine in football.

864
00:34:08,908 --> 00:34:09,788
Speaker 7: This guy is sharp.

865
00:34:10,068 --> 00:34:14,268
Speaker 6: He's from Doylestown, PA. Like he's football football, football. That

866
00:34:14,348 --> 00:34:16,628
Speaker 6: dude's twenty nine, twenty nine.

867
00:34:16,748 --> 00:34:19,468
Speaker 5: And then to say, oh in gm we'll interview all

868
00:34:19,508 --> 00:34:21,228
Speaker 5: these other but we're also going to go with a

869
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:24,748
Speaker 5: thirty four year old who when we mention his name

870
00:34:24,748 --> 00:34:26,828
Speaker 5: on NFL Network, there's not a lot of b roll

871
00:34:26,868 --> 00:34:27,308
Speaker 5: of him.

872
00:34:27,148 --> 00:34:28,628
Speaker 6: Because he's on the road so much.

873
00:34:28,668 --> 00:34:31,708
Speaker 5: So I think it's really interesting that the Jaguars right

874
00:34:31,788 --> 00:34:34,028
Speaker 5: this direction. I also think it's pretty cool. This is

875
00:34:34,028 --> 00:34:37,028
Speaker 5: a youth movement in Jacksonville. They've done the Urban Meyer thing,

876
00:34:37,068 --> 00:34:40,028
Speaker 5: They've done the Doug Peterson thing in liam We trust,

877
00:34:40,028 --> 00:34:42,548
Speaker 5: they're basically saying, and it's in his hands. This is

878
00:34:42,588 --> 00:34:45,548
Speaker 5: the organization and the I guess the model that he

879
00:34:45,668 --> 00:34:48,148
Speaker 5: envisioned when he left Tampa to take this job in Jacksonville.

880
00:34:48,188 --> 00:34:48,868
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Peter.

881
00:34:49,068 --> 00:34:51,028
Speaker 3: We love you, AFC South, all right, don't say that

882
00:34:51,068 --> 00:34:52,788
Speaker 3: we don't talk about you. Here we are day one

883
00:34:52,788 --> 00:34:54,788
Speaker 3: of the offseason. We got your back. We're going to

884
00:34:54,868 --> 00:34:56,828
Speaker 3: check in with Tom Pellisera. We are checking in with

885
00:34:56,908 --> 00:34:58,908
Speaker 3: Indianapolis after this on our show.

886
00:34:58,948 --> 00:35:00,228
Speaker 2: It's Combine week, everybody.

887
00:35:00,308 --> 00:35:21,348
Speaker 11: We want to know how things are feeling.

888
00:35:13,268 --> 00:35:17,588
Speaker 5: Good Morne Football, Welcome back to GMFB. We are happy

889
00:35:17,588 --> 00:35:20,548
Speaker 5: to be joined live in Indianapolis. One of the top

890
00:35:20,588 --> 00:35:23,148
Speaker 5: in the game at what he does, and he's there

891
00:35:23,188 --> 00:35:25,788
Speaker 5: to see a lot of the top college prospects perfect

892
00:35:25,868 --> 00:35:30,268
Speaker 5: their NFL opportunities at the Combine. Tom Pelasera, Tom, we

893
00:35:30,348 --> 00:35:32,548
Speaker 5: got a little news yesterday on one.

894
00:35:32,388 --> 00:35:33,268
Speaker 2: Of the quarterbacks.

895
00:35:33,308 --> 00:35:37,108
Speaker 5: Set the stage on the QB's going into the Combine

896
00:35:37,108 --> 00:35:39,188
Speaker 5: and the workouts as with now just Monday, and they're

897
00:35:39,188 --> 00:35:41,188
Speaker 5: gonna be working out on Saturday, as we know.

898
00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:44,908
Speaker 6: That's right. Pere Schadur Sanders is our Ian Rappaport reported

899
00:35:44,988 --> 00:35:47,548
Speaker 6: yesterday not planning on throwing. He is going to go

900
00:35:47,668 --> 00:35:50,348
Speaker 6: through the interview process and extension of what he did

901
00:35:50,348 --> 00:35:52,388
Speaker 6: at the East West Shrine Bowl here, but not doing

902
00:35:52,428 --> 00:35:54,828
Speaker 6: any of the on field testing, not participating in the

903
00:35:54,828 --> 00:35:58,828
Speaker 6: throwing session. That's not entirely unusual. We've seen top quarterback

904
00:35:58,868 --> 00:36:01,828
Speaker 6: prospects through the years not participate out here and save

905
00:36:01,908 --> 00:36:04,628
Speaker 6: it for Pro Day. That's the direction that chadors going

906
00:36:04,628 --> 00:36:07,508
Speaker 6: to go. The other top quarterback prospect, cam Ward, who

907
00:36:07,508 --> 00:36:10,628
Speaker 6: of course initially committed to the Senior Bowl, then decided

908
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:12,908
Speaker 6: that he was not going to go. He is expected

909
00:36:13,148 --> 00:36:14,508
Speaker 6: to be here so the first time the team will

910
00:36:14,508 --> 00:36:16,708
Speaker 6: sit down with him. Not clear yet if he is

911
00:36:16,788 --> 00:36:18,708
Speaker 6: going to throw, though, I would tell you teams are

912
00:36:18,748 --> 00:36:21,868
Speaker 6: not expecting him to. As for the rest of the quarterbacks,

913
00:36:21,868 --> 00:36:24,868
Speaker 6: I would anticipate the UC most if not all, the

914
00:36:24,908 --> 00:36:27,868
Speaker 6: top quarterback prospects throwing one of them. Jackson Dart from

915
00:36:27,908 --> 00:36:30,028
Speaker 6: Ole miss I got with a big chance to help

916
00:36:30,108 --> 00:36:33,108
Speaker 6: himself continue what he did at the Senior Bowl. Here

917
00:36:33,348 --> 00:36:36,308
Speaker 6: does sound like he plans to throw. So that is

918
00:36:36,348 --> 00:36:37,908
Speaker 6: one of the names we're going to be watching really

919
00:36:37,908 --> 00:36:39,748
Speaker 6: closely when those guys got out here on the field

920
00:36:39,788 --> 00:36:40,148
Speaker 6: on Saturday.

921
00:36:40,228 --> 00:36:43,108
Speaker 5: Peter a follow up on Shador because last year Caleb

922
00:36:43,148 --> 00:36:46,468
Speaker 5: Williams didn't compete, but he actually met with all the teams,

923
00:36:46,628 --> 00:36:48,468
Speaker 5: was super present, and then on the Saturday of the

924
00:36:48,588 --> 00:36:51,748
Speaker 5: drills was there with the quarterbacks. Shador Sanders is going

925
00:36:51,788 --> 00:36:52,548
Speaker 5: to be at the.

926
00:36:52,508 --> 00:36:54,828
Speaker 6: Combine though, and he will meet with the teams. Correct,

927
00:36:55,508 --> 00:36:57,148
Speaker 6: he is going to be here, He's going to go

928
00:36:57,228 --> 00:37:00,388
Speaker 6: through the interview process. You know, it's interesting you say that, Peter,

929
00:37:00,468 --> 00:37:01,628
Speaker 6: because then it's okay, is he going.

930
00:37:01,588 --> 00:37:01,988
Speaker 4: To show up?

931
00:37:02,068 --> 00:37:03,268
Speaker 6: Is he's going to be on the field during the

932
00:37:03,268 --> 00:37:03,948
Speaker 6: throwing session.

933
00:37:04,508 --> 00:37:04,748
Speaker 4: He not.

934
00:37:04,908 --> 00:37:07,428
Speaker 6: I had one GM say this to me yesterday. He goes,

935
00:37:07,668 --> 00:37:10,228
Speaker 6: I always believe that a guy is going to do

936
00:37:10,268 --> 00:37:12,948
Speaker 6: something when he does it. In other words, whatever the

937
00:37:12,988 --> 00:37:15,748
Speaker 6: guy says on a Tuesday when you're interviewing him, we'll

938
00:37:15,748 --> 00:37:18,468
Speaker 6: find out on the day of the event exactly what

939
00:37:18,508 --> 00:37:20,108
Speaker 6: the guy decides to do, because there's a lot of

940
00:37:20,148 --> 00:37:22,988
Speaker 6: different pressures and pushing him pulling that goes on beyond

941
00:37:22,988 --> 00:37:23,788
Speaker 6: the scenes of this thing.

942
00:37:24,308 --> 00:37:27,348
Speaker 5: Sure, all right, So last year, Xavier Worthy stole the

943
00:37:27,348 --> 00:37:29,828
Speaker 5: show at the Combine, running the fastest forty of all time.

944
00:37:29,868 --> 00:37:33,548
Speaker 5: In recent years, we've seen Jordan Davis and Tristan Wurf's

945
00:37:33,548 --> 00:37:36,108
Speaker 5: do amazing things as big man. Who are some of

946
00:37:36,108 --> 00:37:37,788
Speaker 5: the names that you think are going to stand out

947
00:37:37,788 --> 00:37:39,908
Speaker 5: in the drills this week at the Combine.

948
00:37:40,228 --> 00:37:43,668
Speaker 6: Let's start out with Schamar Stewart. He's an edge player

949
00:37:43,708 --> 00:37:46,908
Speaker 6: from Texas a and m absolute physical freak. I was

950
00:37:46,948 --> 00:37:48,868
Speaker 6: with him at the Senior bow when he said next

951
00:37:48,908 --> 00:37:51,628
Speaker 6: to him he is built like Jadevian Clowney. He is

952
00:37:51,668 --> 00:37:54,428
Speaker 6: a big dude. I would not be surprised if we

953
00:37:54,468 --> 00:37:57,148
Speaker 6: see Shamar Stewart put up similar numbers to the ones

954
00:37:57,188 --> 00:37:59,748
Speaker 6: that Trayvon Walker put up a few years ago that

955
00:37:59,868 --> 00:38:01,668
Speaker 6: ended with him being the number one pick. I'm not

956
00:38:01,748 --> 00:38:03,908
Speaker 6: saying Shamar Stewart is going to be the number one pick,

957
00:38:03,908 --> 00:38:06,348
Speaker 6: but he's a little with taller than tray Von Walker.

958
00:38:06,628 --> 00:38:09,828
Speaker 6: Fully would anticipate that Shamar Stewart could be one of

959
00:38:09,828 --> 00:38:12,868
Speaker 6: the guys who really helps himself through this process when

960
00:38:12,868 --> 00:38:15,588
Speaker 6: it comes to going through the drills and particularly the

961
00:38:15,628 --> 00:38:18,388
Speaker 6: forty yard dash. Another name I would mention, there's always

962
00:38:18,428 --> 00:38:20,828
Speaker 6: some blazers that come out of nowhere here at this event, Peter.

963
00:38:21,188 --> 00:38:24,228
Speaker 6: But Max Harston, the Kentucky cornerback, he is going to

964
00:38:24,268 --> 00:38:26,468
Speaker 6: be one of those guys to watch. He can absolutely fly.

965
00:38:26,548 --> 00:38:28,628
Speaker 6: Another one that really stood out at the Senior Bowl.

966
00:38:28,628 --> 00:38:31,348
Speaker 6: I spent some time around him. He's a really bright personality,

967
00:38:31,588 --> 00:38:34,308
Speaker 6: super fun guy, goes by mad Max on social media.

968
00:38:34,348 --> 00:38:36,748
Speaker 6: What we'll see if he's also fast Max when it

969
00:38:36,788 --> 00:38:38,748
Speaker 6: comes to the forty yard dash. For these dbs, Peter,

970
00:38:38,988 --> 00:38:39,628
Speaker 6: we love this.

971
00:38:39,788 --> 00:38:42,308
Speaker 5: Kentucky has had a nice little couple of years here

972
00:38:42,428 --> 00:38:46,068
Speaker 5: putting NFL talent into the league, and we appreciate you

973
00:38:46,108 --> 00:38:46,908
Speaker 5: always being.

974
00:38:46,708 --> 00:38:47,348
Speaker 2: There on the scene.

975
00:38:47,388 --> 00:38:50,068
Speaker 6: I'll be joining you tomorrow. Tom So get.

976
00:38:49,908 --> 00:38:53,028
Speaker 5: Ready and we're gonna go nuts wild on Indianapolis, folks.

977
00:38:53,268 --> 00:38:55,988
Speaker 5: And we've got all of it here, NFL Network and

978
00:38:56,148 --> 00:38:59,228
Speaker 5: NFL Plus. This is the schedule for the week. Just

979
00:38:59,308 --> 00:39:00,868
Speaker 5: leave it here an NFL network, folks.

980
00:39:02,228 --> 00:39:04,628
Speaker 3: During the playoff run, we were paying a lot of

981
00:39:04,668 --> 00:39:06,668
Speaker 3: attention to the Eagles and the Chiefs.

982
00:39:06,708 --> 00:39:07,308
Speaker 2: But in the.

983
00:39:07,308 --> 00:39:10,548
Speaker 3: Meantime, there were five first time head coaches hired in

984
00:39:10,628 --> 00:39:12,868
Speaker 3: this latest hiring cycle.

985
00:39:13,268 --> 00:39:15,148
Speaker 2: So let's look at those names.

986
00:39:15,268 --> 00:39:18,468
Speaker 3: Let's kick the can around the field here, and I

987
00:39:18,468 --> 00:39:20,188
Speaker 3: already forget who's supposed to go first.

988
00:39:20,228 --> 00:39:22,868
Speaker 2: I think it's Peter. Peter, puts your name.

989
00:39:22,748 --> 00:39:25,028
Speaker 3: On somebody that you find most interesting in this latest

990
00:39:25,028 --> 00:39:25,708
Speaker 3: head coaching.

991
00:39:25,508 --> 00:39:26,828
Speaker 2: Here it's Liam Cohen.

992
00:39:26,988 --> 00:39:29,468
Speaker 5: He took this job in Jacksonville and he burned all

993
00:39:29,508 --> 00:39:31,948
Speaker 5: the boats to Tampa and this, Yeah, what I mean

994
00:39:31,948 --> 00:39:33,428
Speaker 5: by that is he said he's.

995
00:39:33,268 --> 00:39:34,228
Speaker 6: Coming back to Tampa.

996
00:39:34,388 --> 00:39:37,948
Speaker 5: Agreed in principle, and then under the guides of like

997
00:39:37,988 --> 00:39:40,628
Speaker 5: the Mayflower ship, went and go met with the ownership

998
00:39:40,668 --> 00:39:42,228
Speaker 5: at Jacksonville and they said, well, we're gonna give you

999
00:39:42,228 --> 00:39:43,828
Speaker 5: this amount of money and you can basically hire whoever

1000
00:39:43,868 --> 00:39:44,108
Speaker 5: you want.

1001
00:39:44,148 --> 00:39:45,548
Speaker 6: He's like, I'm sorry, Tampa, I gotta go.

1002
00:39:45,908 --> 00:39:46,468
Speaker 9: And he did.

1003
00:39:46,708 --> 00:39:49,028
Speaker 5: And it rubbed a lot of people wrong, and maybe

1004
00:39:49,148 --> 00:39:52,508
Speaker 5: it was done in a clunky fashion communication wise.

1005
00:39:52,548 --> 00:39:55,988
Speaker 6: That said, he becomes the head coach of Trevor Lawrence,

1006
00:39:56,108 --> 00:39:57,508
Speaker 6: who has won a.

1007
00:39:57,428 --> 00:39:59,868
Speaker 5: Playoff game before in a division.

1008
00:39:59,468 --> 00:40:00,228
Speaker 6: That is down.

1009
00:40:00,708 --> 00:40:05,548
Speaker 5: And besides, Houston really has three rebuilding team in that division,

1010
00:40:05,828 --> 00:40:09,468
Speaker 5: between the Titans, the Jaguars, and of course you've got

1011
00:40:09,548 --> 00:40:11,548
Speaker 5: the Texans and then the Colts. So I look at

1012
00:40:11,548 --> 00:40:15,308
Speaker 5: Liam Cohen, young fresh offensive mind with a quarterback that

1013
00:40:15,348 --> 00:40:16,948
Speaker 5: we thought was gonna be the best product to come

1014
00:40:16,948 --> 00:40:19,388
Speaker 5: into the NFL since Andrew Luck. So let's see what

1015
00:40:19,428 --> 00:40:21,308
Speaker 5: we got, and let's see if Trevor Lawrence can work

1016
00:40:21,348 --> 00:40:23,348
Speaker 5: with them and they can make actual magic happen.

1017
00:40:23,428 --> 00:40:24,268
Speaker 4: I like that Triggs.

1018
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:28,268
Speaker 9: I got Aaron Glenn, I know him as AG now.

1019
00:40:28,268 --> 00:40:31,628
Speaker 9: I had the great experience and honor of playing for

1020
00:40:31,748 --> 00:40:32,908
Speaker 9: him when he was in New Orleans.

1021
00:40:32,948 --> 00:40:34,388
Speaker 4: I was in New Orleans for three years. He was

1022
00:40:34,428 --> 00:40:35,428
Speaker 4: a secondariest coach.

1023
00:40:35,908 --> 00:40:38,348
Speaker 9: I've seen this man stand up him from the whole team,

1024
00:40:38,388 --> 00:40:40,828
Speaker 9: in front of the whole defensive unit and command the

1025
00:40:40,908 --> 00:40:43,908
Speaker 9: respect of the guys in that room. I'm so excited

1026
00:40:43,948 --> 00:40:45,908
Speaker 9: for AG and his time in New York. He used

1027
00:40:45,948 --> 00:40:48,508
Speaker 9: to play at New York and I talked to Alex Anzeloni,

1028
00:40:48,548 --> 00:40:50,788
Speaker 9: who everybody knows he's a little brother than me. And

1029
00:40:50,908 --> 00:40:53,628
Speaker 9: Alex said, Man, if it wasn't for ag, my career

1030
00:40:53,628 --> 00:40:56,028
Speaker 9: wouldn't be what it is. So that's just goes to

1031
00:40:56,068 --> 00:40:58,428
Speaker 9: show the type of leadership that this guy has.

1032
00:40:58,708 --> 00:40:59,348
Speaker 4: I love him.

1033
00:40:59,588 --> 00:41:01,428
Speaker 9: And to top it all off, he brought my boy

1034
00:41:01,508 --> 00:41:05,628
Speaker 9: Chris Banjo over from Denver, who was also with me

1035
00:41:05,708 --> 00:41:08,308
Speaker 9: and New Orleans. We played together his special teams captain.

1036
00:41:08,508 --> 00:41:10,988
Speaker 4: He is now the special teams coach in New York.

1037
00:41:11,068 --> 00:41:12,988
Speaker 4: So a g I'm excited for you.

1038
00:41:13,108 --> 00:41:15,428
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm going with not a first time head coach,

1039
00:41:15,468 --> 00:41:17,348
Speaker 8: but I'm going with Pete Carroll technically in that category

1040
00:41:17,348 --> 00:41:18,668
Speaker 8: because he's been out of the game for a little

1041
00:41:18,668 --> 00:41:20,268
Speaker 8: bit and now he's back. I'm going Pete Carroll. I'm

1042
00:41:20,268 --> 00:41:22,268
Speaker 8: a USC guy. I'm always going to root for Pete Carroll.

1043
00:41:22,268 --> 00:41:23,908
Speaker 8: I'm excited to see what he's going to do in

1044
00:41:23,988 --> 00:41:26,108
Speaker 8: Las Vegas. Obviously, Jamie talked about this earlier. I think

1045
00:41:26,148 --> 00:41:28,108
Speaker 8: the biggest question is who's going to be under center.

1046
00:41:28,308 --> 00:41:29,588
Speaker 8: Are they going to go out and find someone in

1047
00:41:29,628 --> 00:41:31,268
Speaker 8: free agency? Are they going to are we going to

1048
00:41:31,268 --> 00:41:33,748
Speaker 8: start the Russell Wilson talks already this early in the offseason.

1049
00:41:33,788 --> 00:41:35,148
Speaker 4: Is he going to show up in Las Vegas?

1050
00:41:35,188 --> 00:41:37,308
Speaker 8: But either way, I love the move because you know,

1051
00:41:37,548 --> 00:41:39,388
Speaker 8: in that division, like you talked about, it is a

1052
00:41:39,428 --> 00:41:41,708
Speaker 8: lot of veteran coaches in there. You got Champayne, you

1053
00:41:41,788 --> 00:41:43,788
Speaker 8: got Andy Reed, you got Jim Harball. They go out

1054
00:41:43,828 --> 00:41:44,468
Speaker 8: and play chess.

1055
00:41:44,628 --> 00:41:46,548
Speaker 7: Get Pete Carroll speaking and Pete with these coaches. But

1056
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:47,228
Speaker 7: if I'm going with.

1057
00:41:47,188 --> 00:41:48,748
Speaker 8: A new faced, new head coach, another guy that I'm

1058
00:41:48,788 --> 00:41:50,628
Speaker 8: very excited about is Kellen Moore with the Saints.

1059
00:41:50,748 --> 00:41:53,428
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, that is that's the opposite end of

1060
00:41:53,468 --> 00:41:55,708
Speaker 3: the spectrum in terms of Kellen Moore arriving in New Orleans.

1061
00:41:55,788 --> 00:41:57,068
Speaker 2: I like the fact that we got Pete.

1062
00:41:56,868 --> 00:41:58,348
Speaker 3: Carroll on this list, and I like the fact that

1063
00:41:58,388 --> 00:42:01,108
Speaker 3: Peter the Liam Cohen experience. To your point, I feel

1064
00:42:01,108 --> 00:42:03,868
Speaker 3: like we just didn't give that whole situation enough time.

1065
00:42:03,948 --> 00:42:05,348
Speaker 2: In jan Was this.

1066
00:42:05,428 --> 00:42:09,108
Speaker 3: Maybe a top three most awkward handling of just from

1067
00:42:09,148 --> 00:42:12,668
Speaker 3: an outsider's perspective, the public perception of how this thing

1068
00:42:12,708 --> 00:42:15,228
Speaker 3: went down looked really looked really strange.

1069
00:42:15,508 --> 00:42:16,988
Speaker 6: Yeah, it happened on a Friday afternoon.

1070
00:42:17,028 --> 00:42:19,268
Speaker 5: That's why it was kind of like you know, five

1071
00:42:19,428 --> 00:42:21,548
Speaker 5: thirty news dump almost that he took that job, but

1072
00:42:21,548 --> 00:42:24,028
Speaker 5: he went missing for twelve hours didn't talk to Tampa,

1073
00:42:24,068 --> 00:42:27,108
Speaker 5: didn't communicate with Tampa, and then eventually resurfaced and he

1074
00:42:27,148 --> 00:42:29,548
Speaker 5: was with Jacksonville. So it was a little clumsy, but

1075
00:42:29,628 --> 00:42:30,988
Speaker 5: when you get an opportunity to be one of the

1076
00:42:30,988 --> 00:42:33,308
Speaker 5: thirty two head coaches, you can't spite the guy. Yeah,

1077
00:42:33,348 --> 00:42:35,308
Speaker 5: maybe the communication could have been a little bit.

1078
00:42:35,228 --> 00:42:37,388
Speaker 3: Better though, Sure, But to your point, to go from

1079
00:42:38,548 --> 00:42:42,668
Speaker 3: Baker to Trevor, it's a gift of quarterback whiches, if

1080
00:42:42,668 --> 00:42:45,188
Speaker 3: you will. Leaven Collen, congratulations and everybody else's got that

1081
00:42:45,228 --> 00:42:46,188
Speaker 3: new head coaching higher.

1082
00:42:46,468 --> 00:42:47,828
Speaker 2: We're in the headset next season.

1083
00:42:47,868 --> 00:42:49,668
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about you a lot on GMFB.

1084
00:42:49,788 --> 00:42:52,268
Speaker 2: Cody Kessler here with us this week. Everybody, well, very

1085
00:42:52,388 --> 00:42:52,548
Speaker 2: back
