00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast is weary of shadowy league figures.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the League Podcast.

Speaker 1: of our photographers in Handsome Hank the Notorious DP, that

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: at a certain point it feels like, uh, Mark, I

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: believe you said it, that you're in a submarine that

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: is sunk to the bottom of the sea and your

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: trapped together water image. Uh. Well, we've got a lot

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: to talk about. We we did the first round picks

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. That feels like so long ago, so

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: we can We're gonna go over some big stories from

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: day two and three of the draft, and then we'll

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: get into the meat of the show, some winners and losers,

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll set Mark and Dan free into the

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: New York night. What what we're on the plans today?

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Karaoke night, gentlemen? Are you serious? What's your top? Twenty

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: seven Downtown getting together some old high school friends. Marks

26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna tag along. I'm hearing about this just now. Ryan, Maki,

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Yanna and I karaoke to Dumpty Dance the other night

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: at Jocks's. Daily Man, this sounds like an awesome plan

29
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: if I was twenty four? All right, why don't we

30
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: start with Michael Sam just because it's so it's so

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: fresh in our minds, and we're gonna get to the

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: big ball story soon. But it's rare that the draft

33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: ends with a big story, and this happened only a

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: few picks left in the draft. That it's kind of

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: the lasting memory that a lot of people have from

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the draft, certainly from day three, which was quiet. Michael

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Sam gets taken by the rams market Dan, what what

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: was the reaction there in New York? It was he

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: got a nice reaction. I think that once you've got

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: to the seventh round and it started to progress, um there,

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: you could kind of sense it that people were just

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: kind of keyed in on that, and uh, I believe

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: it was. The Cowboys had a pick earlier in the

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: seventh round and the first name of the player they

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: selected was Michael and the crowd made, you know, audibly

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: side or groaned when it wasn't Sam. And then when

47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: the Rams came up and it was Sam, it was

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: a really nice you know, there wasn't a lot of

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: people in the building at that point. This is an

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: event that stretches about six hours or so on on

51
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: the final day, Saturday, but the people that were in

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: the building, everybody got on their feet and there was

53
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: a nice applause and then a little bit of a

54
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Michael Sam chance. So it was it was a nice

55
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: moment to close the draft. The NFL avoided some bad press.

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: I feel like with this is whether it would have

57
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: been fair or not is not a conversation for this podcast,

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: but it would have gotten the NFL would have gotten.

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: We talked about this ruin this annount once Sam first

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: made his announcement, and you know, if and it maybe

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been the NFL sall because there's been

62
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: a lot of talk that this guy doesn't have the

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: measurables of the abilities to be a real competitive NFL player,

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: But that narrative would have taken off if he didn't

65
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: get picked. So the NFL, yeah, certainly dodged a Bill

66
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: bullet and by getting him on a roster, it it

67
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: saves a lot of headaches on Park Avenue. Well, he

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: would have. He would have been signed quickly anyways, but

69
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it just would have been a bad luck. And it's

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: not a surprise to me that Jeff Fisher, of all

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: people we talked about, the Giants and the Steelers might

72
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: have been teams that would take Sam for the good

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: of the league. I mean, no one is more of

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: a league guy than Jeff Fisher. He's the head of

75
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: the NFL's competition committee. He cares about the bigger picture,

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe that's a factor. And Michael Sam

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: with the school locally, so he's already accepted in that area.

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: And Fisher said, uh right away that he'd been thinking

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: about this for the last week. And it's kind of

80
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: like it's great Sam got drafted, but then again, if

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: he was undrafted, he could have picked this team that's

82
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough team to make with that With

83
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: that defensive line. It's about as loaded as it gets.

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was a cool moment. It certainly, you know,

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: they had him and the boyfriend, and it probably made

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: a lot of people uncomfortable around the country, and I

87
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: sort of like that. It's good for people to get uncomfortable. Thoughts.

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: I agree that it's good for people to get uncomfortable.

89
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the day two and

90
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: three highlights and just kind of go through them one

91
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: by one. Derek Carr really started the biggest news I

92
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: would say to start date to going to the Oakland Raiders.

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: You mentioned him Chris Wesley as a guy who could

94
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: play right away in Oakland, and you got you got

95
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: some Raiders fans. Upset. Raiders fans were born upset, modifications

96
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: were born upset at Chris Wesley. Well, maybe they should

97
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: be more upset at their franchise. That would probably be

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: better directed. But um, okay, So I think it's no

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: secret that I think Shop has done as an effective

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. So I don't see why the guy who

101
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: was drafted right around the same place as Andy Dalton

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: couldn't come in and start in a similar fashion. The

103
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: only reason I would be skeptical is that Reggie mackenzie

104
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: has drafted Tyler Wilson and signed Matt Flynn and signed

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Matt Shob So I'm waiting to see what he knows

106
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks. Not a promising track record when it comes

107
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: to picking your quarterback group. I would say one thing

108
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: because I could have seen a team do this, which

109
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: is take a guy like Derek Carr in the first

110
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: round much higher up, which just sets him up for

111
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: absolute speculation and the potential implosion. At least they didn't.

112
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: At least they got a great player at number one.

113
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: I I'm with you, Chris, though I Tarra Carr is

114
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: one guy that I would say, just by the pedigree alone,

115
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: I am suspicious of that might not be fair, but

116
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I that is so unfair. It is I wanted to

117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: see Houston double down and go car part two. It's

118
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: very fair in the sense that David Carr was much

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: more highly rated coming into the league and we never

120
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: really got a chance to see what David Carr could do.

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: In my opinion, that the what the situation he got

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: to put into one of the all time arguably the

123
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: worst situation a rookie was ever put into. So I

124
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: think we saw it. We got quite a chance to

125
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: see him play. I'm across the room from Dan here

126
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: and we are glaring at each other. Yea, yeah, this

127
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: is awkward. Dan's point is fair too. That was an

128
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: awful offensive line they put him behind. That he was

129
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: going to be a great quarterback. He would have become

130
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, but he did get gunshry. You could

131
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: see it in his play after that as well. Even

132
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: the owner admitted that. Right, But isn't that what bad

133
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks do. They are put in a bad situation and

134
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: it's snowballs, and some can overcome that. This is a

135
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: tough one not to be labor this, but difference between

136
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: a bad situation and David Carr's situation. So I just

137
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: I think he was in a uniquely bad situation. And

138
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: I just think this guy, Derek Carr, deserves the benefit

139
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: of data. It's ten years later, twelve years later, it's

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: a different dude, it's a different world, it's a different NFL.

141
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I I think too many people

142
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: have written this guy off is potentially a bust just

143
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: because something that happened in an NFL century ago. And

144
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: we do know he has some tools. He does have

145
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: a strong arm. Nobody's doubted that he does have some athleticism.

146
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I think he could be good. Whether he would be

147
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: good to come in right away for the Raiders remains

148
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: to be seen. We know that he other teams did

149
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: like him. The Titans were willing to take him if

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: he If the Raiders didn't, yeah, that and that would

151
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: have been another plug. It's one of those other things.

152
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I love thinking about this, and I love these stories

153
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: on draft weekend of what was going to happen and

154
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: just how that would change everything. Ian Rappaport reported the

155
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Titans were set to take Derek car And so he

156
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: would have been in competition with Jake Locker. He could

157
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: have been their guy for the future. Instead, they wind

158
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: up with Zach Mettenberger four rounds later. And for Raiders fans,

159
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: this is a rare draft where they're gonna get some

160
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: real hope and some love and some kudos from the

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: national press, which is worth about nothing. But you've got

162
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: Khalil Mackie, get car Uh, and you get a couple

163
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: of big guys in the next couple of rounds. And

164
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: then Mike Max says, look, the Raiders are four for four.

165
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: And picks. When when is the last time you heard

166
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: anyone say that about the Raiders. Well, one thing about

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: this Derek car thing. One last thing when you talk about, oh,

168
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders have done a nice job because they've drafted

169
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: a rookie that's not going to be thrown into the fire.

170
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Nothing about Matt shob has me convinced that he won't

171
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: be an utter train wreck by about a week four.

172
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: This guy car is going to be on the field

173
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: by Octo over. I could see that happening very easily.

174
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: He was one of the big stories early in that round,

175
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: but I think one of the other ones was another

176
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: guy that fell, Marquis Lee going to the Jaguars. Then

177
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: later they draft Chris Wesseling's favorite rookie wide receiver or

178
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: one of his favorite guys coming out, Alan Robinson. They

179
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: also say that Justin Blackman's career with the Jaguars is

180
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: probably over. They say he's done for this year, and

181
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: they certainly make it sound like he's never coming back.

182
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: Are the Jaguars a little frisky here with this receiver combination?

183
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: I think they are. All. You take both of those

184
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: guys and then cecil shorts their strength of their games.

185
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: All of them is run after the catch, their playmakers,

186
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: and I think it's fair to say if Marcus Lee

187
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: and Sammy Watkins both came out in two thousand thirteen,

188
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Lee could have gone ahead of Sammy Watkins. Absolutely, I

189
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: think he would have. This past year really dragged him down,

190
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that it was completely his fault.

191
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: He had some injuries and the quarterback play at USC

192
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: was awful, just terrible, so he didn't get any help.

193
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: And the and the nagging knee injury which scared some

194
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: teams off, is a partial concern, but I don't think

195
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the Jags have any concern. I think in today's NFL

196
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: with the bubble screens, I think it fits his game perfectly.

197
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: I think that was a great pick by the by

198
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and I think Jacksonville has done a nice

199
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: job in short order of revamping the entire offense. You've got,

200
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: in theory, a franchise quarterback and Blaine Gabbert is, you know,

201
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: three thousand miles away. That's good. You've got what they

202
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: what they're calling is their new franchise running back, you know,

203
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: their workhorse, and they're running their wide receiver corps, which was,

204
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, three days ago and shambles outside of the

205
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: with you know, at the loss of Blackman is suddenly

206
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: and completely intriguing. They've done a good job here in Jacksonville.

207
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: There's I think that fan base which is essentially had

208
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: nothing to cling onto for half a decade plus, if

209
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: not a full decade, they do Now you had me

210
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: with the three thousand miles, although I feel like it'd

211
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: be better if he was in Hawaii, you know, I

212
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: mean to make a couple of thousand miles just to

213
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: make sure, But then you lost me with the franchise

214
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: riding back. I don't know what Toby, I'm not calling

215
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: him that, but they're calling him. They're bell cow. Now,

216
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: just just keep doubting Toby Gearhart that we don't none

217
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: of us know how that will work. But but Gearhart

218
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: has done well and limited duty. I mean, it's like

219
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: they're just they're just hoping that works out. He's not

220
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: the only running back. But but all again, what all

221
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: bad teams. It goes back to the X the wild

222
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: card at quarterback, the X factor at quarterback. We don't

223
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: know what Blake Portles will give. We know what Chad

224
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: Henny's not going to be a good quarterback. We still

225
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: don't know about Blake Portles. By the way, I love

226
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: how much more comfortable we are talking about Allen Robinson

227
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: and Toby Gerhardt than we are talking about Michael Sam

228
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Put that on you. Greg. Yeah, I know, it's it's

229
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: my bad leadership and hosting. I guess I can't wait

230
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: till Dan gets back here. We need you. But but

231
00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: since I and then make eye contact and set everyone

232
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: at ease with your eyes. Oh you didn't see this,

233
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: that doesn't make it's not easy. Since since I am

234
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: in the host chair, we can talk about the Patriots

235
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: as much as I want. Jimmy GARAPLO. Forget Tom Brady.

236
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: We've got a new quarterback of the future. Brady's old

237
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: news or, as I like to call him, Rohan Davey.

238
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: There is a way you want to talk about draft losers.

239
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is certainly one of them. You know, instead

240
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: of building up the roster for one last crack at

241
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with Tom terrific, they invested their second

242
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: round pick on his replacement. The NFL is a cold

243
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: blooded league. But even Thomas would be like, come on, Bill,

244
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: I trusted you. What did it say? About damn that

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna say Tom Brady was the

246
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: biggest loser because Garoo was more hands just. I would

247
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: say Brady's probably hotter, still give up a little a

248
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: couple of years and to get his millions. You know,

249
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: rich people are always better looking. I thought you were

250
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: going to go somewhere I didn't know, but definitely non

251
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: football wife related. So we were all on the same page.

252
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: There's a difference. There's a difference between Garoppolo and Ryan

253
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: Mallett and who is the guy Kevin O'Connell who they

254
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: took it on. So this is something they've done before

255
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: Rohan Davy back in the day with a different quarterback.

256
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: There's a difference. Garoppolo will be under contract when Tom

257
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: Brady is forty years old. I mean, I love Tom Brady,

258
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: but there's a chance I think we can accept that

259
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: he's no longer the starting quarterback of the Patriots when

260
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: he's forty years old. And this is I'm still convinced

261
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: he's playing at fifty. And then they do when he

262
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: suffered you know, has like a major laceration and it's

263
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: just metal robotics underneath the skin. Wow. Even when Mark's

264
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: talking about a quarterback, iconic quarterback being a robot. It

265
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: turns out there's a major injury that lets us know

266
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: that that's the truth. Do you really believe he couldn't

267
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: play with the way he plays in the pocket and

268
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: he's not all about getting out, He couldn't play into

269
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: his forties. Yeah, years from what usually happens in these situations.

270
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: They can still throw fire, but they can't escape pressure anymore,

271
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: and they don't get they don't recover from injuries, injuries

272
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: nearly quickly, or you get happy in the pocket. Who knows,

273
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: maybe he could. He's got four guaranteed years. He has

274
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: the weirdest contract in the NFL, A fully guarant chick

275
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: who has has a history of taking you know, town

276
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: heroes and shredding them. Bernie Kozar cut that's the city

277
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: on fire. He got Drew Blette go out of there.

278
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I understand that, you know, the Brady

279
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: thing sounds crazy to let him go, but Belichick is

280
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: not an emotional guy. He's Belichick. Also. You know people

281
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: talked about, oh, he'll be gone in two years, three years. Yeah,

282
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: he would love to prove that he can win games

283
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: with the next quarterback. Yeah, I can't wait until Belichick

284
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: cut calls Brady into his office to cut him and

285
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: puts out his cigar right on his forehead, talking, my god,

286
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I am God. Well, well done,

287
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: gold Standard. How was your draft? By the way, do

288
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: you watch the NFL draft? I did. I watched all

289
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: of the NFL Draft. I was. I even threw out

290
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: some tweets for Dan he did. And I think it's

291
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: time that we start giving gold Standards some respect. That's

292
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: a football fan. He's been plugged in. He's been active

293
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: on social media, mostly with UM Sports on the other

294
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: side of the ocean. But you could tell he's putting

295
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: in the effort and you really got to respect that.

296
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Well, let's well, let's put you on

297
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: the spot. Then, what do you think is Jimmy Garoppolo

298
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna eventually succeed Tom Brady in New England? I see,

299
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't know my Eastern Illinois football well enough, but

300
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: I will say, hey, look at that, right, But I

301
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: will say that I think it was a really it

302
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: looked like it was the product of a ton of

303
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: soul searching from Belichick, Like you have all those quarterbacks

304
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: on the board. I thought he might wait till later

305
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: and get like an Aaron Murray, even though he's not

306
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady. I thought that might have been an

307
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: interesting move. All right. I've got a couple of things

308
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: to say based off of that, Mark and Dan, you

309
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: don't have to go home, Patra, you're fired, gold standard.

310
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna run the Around the League podcast and everything else.

311
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: But what do you what do you say that? Uh

312
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is also the least known quantity out of all

313
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: of them too, So it's kind of belichicking to take

314
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: that least known quantity and bury him for three years

315
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: and then try to weasel a third round draft pick

316
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: out of somebody as well. Yeah, it's just an insurance probably.

317
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I am the biggest Tom Brady

318
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: guy ever. But it's a possibility, and they wouldn't take

319
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: a guy this high. And I think maybe there's a

320
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: little bit of it's not too bad to stoke Brady's

321
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: fire as he's getting older and yours. And I think

322
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: there's definitely something to what Sessler said that it's a

323
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: it's a bit of an indication that, you know, maybe

324
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Belichick is thinking beyond just the Brady years. He said,

325
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: you gotta take a quarterback too early than too late,

326
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: and here he did. Let's get to a couple of

327
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: veteran wide receivers. He one one more point I need

328
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: to make Greg. I just want I just want you.

329
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: You're certainly aware of it, but I wanted to really

330
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: soak in that this weekend represented the beginning of the

331
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: end of the Tom Brady era and your little glory

332
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: rideally in the back end. You are in the back nine.

333
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: The sun's going down. You're on the seventeenth hole. So

334
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: just savor it. When I told you that Mark and

335
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: I were listening to The Living Years by Mike and

336
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: the Mechanics on Thursday night after the draft, there are

337
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: some parallels between Tom Brady and those que Patriots fans,

338
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: and it's all over. You love him. Make sure he

339
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: knows it before he's gone. A fide note. Here Dan

340
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: is dressed from head to toe in navy what I

341
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: would call like a jet screen with a green cap

342
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: on two. I don't know where he got this, but

343
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: this guy is rocking the Jets color. I don't know

344
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: of Marks. I've been, you know, amazed. The last couple

345
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: of years that it hadn't already crumbled. I am fully aware.

346
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed this all. When they lost the second Super

347
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: Bowl to the Giants, that was the moment where I

348
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: just thought, all right, well, they're not gonna get another

349
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: one with great so it's it's all been golden, it's

350
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: been fun. I'm ready. Yeah, I probably am right. Sadly,

351
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about a team that has a a good

352
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: chance to win a Super Bowl in the next couple

353
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: of years. The San Francisco forty nine has that for

354
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: a professional segue? Do we like the Stevie Johnson trade

355
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: to San Francisco? I do. I think when you're a contender,

356
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: you owe it to yourself to get proven players and

357
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: embrace your championship window, which they're doing. They needed a

358
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: third receiver. Stevie Johnson came cheaply. You don't have to

359
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: pay him a lot of money. As Greg pointed out,

360
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: he falls under the heartline for the acceptable amount of

361
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: money to pay for a second tier starting wide receiver.

362
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: Brian Hartline even responded to that tweet, which I appreciated.

363
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe he's even listening. Do you to explain

364
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: the heartline? Well, the Friend of the Round, like Around

365
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: the League podcast, was a great guest. The heartline is

366
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: really wide receivers. That makes six million dollars a year.

367
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: So if if you're under that and you're a starter,

368
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: that that's kind of like the baseline for a so

369
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: so starting wide receivers. So they have a pretty good

370
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: deal with Johnson. Why not? It seems like a nice

371
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: Does Stevie Johnson make the Niners his wide receiver corps better? Obviously?

372
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: So is he the speedy game breaker we all wanted

373
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: them to get. Not exactly, but he's a great guy,

374
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: gives them some some depth and and I think he'll

375
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: make some plays. I think that I like that move.

376
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was good hashtag analysis. There's so much

377
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: more improved in the passing game from where they were

378
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: in September and October of last year when Kaepernick was

379
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: throwing to either Bolden or Vernon Davis but rarely to

380
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: both of them. Right, they got a million guys, there's

381
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: no way Brandon Lloyd's making this team. By the way,

382
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: Quentin Patton might not make the team. It's fair point.

383
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a good movi uh in that he

384
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson is good at getting off press coverage and

385
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: running option routes, and those are two things of the

386
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks do well. So I think that's a good

387
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: move to counter what they've been doing. I think we

388
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: should just end it there. That's such a good point.

389
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 1: And they did take while I'm gonna add one little thing,

390
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: they did add a speeds there. Eventually it was the

391
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: fourth round, but it was Andre Ellington's cousin who's also

392
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: a speeds there, Bruce Ellington. So who knows, maybe he'll

393
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: he'll help out. Now let's get to uh, a little

394
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: bit of a downer for the week, and it concerns

395
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: your Brown's mark. You know where I'm going with this.

396
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: After the ecstasy of Thursday night, we got news that

397
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is facing a potential lengthy suspension. According to

398
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, we don't know anything more than that other

399
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: than he failed a drug test and it it sounds

400
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: like he could be out for a chunk of the season.

401
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: We'll see, we don't really know how long it's gonna be.

402
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: Describe after Thursday's high, uh, what that was like finding

403
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: out on Friday? Uh, you know, I would say that

404
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: the there was a period of waking hours of maybe

405
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: eight or nine waking hours of unbridled optimism quickly torched

406
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: to the ground like a dry wheat field, I mean

407
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: just utterly eradicated. And it with Gordon, it was always

408
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: a sense of there's no sense that this guy has

409
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: had some sort of Chris Carter turnaround. It was the

410
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: other shoe could drop at any moment, and somehow, because

411
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: it's Cleveland, the timing was it was so brown and

412
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: the just you know, the other shoe dropped, and there

413
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: were a lot of Browns fans in that Radio City

414
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Music Hall center, and you could just sense that they

415
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: were as the news was kind of spreading across the room.

416
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: And then when Cleveland doesn't take a wide receiver, which

417
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: I understand, they're gonna stick to the draft board and

418
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: they can talk about that until they're blue in the face.

419
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: But your fan base doesn't understand that sometimes, and I

420
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: think that the the trajectory of that hold draft went

421
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: down sharply from there and never really recovered. I felt

422
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: bad for Mark immediately when the news hit, but I

423
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: didn't really feel genuine pathos until he tweeted out watch

424
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: out for Charles Johnson seventh round draft pick last year

425
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: for the Packers. Yeah, I felt genuine pathos at that

426
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: point that Mark was tweeting about a guy who was

427
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: cut by the Packers, picked up by the Browns, and

428
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: the Browns didn't know that he already hit a torn

429
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: a c L you know that I'm just wandering the

430
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: dark for answers at that point, I felt awkward, to

431
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: be honest, like, I saw that and I almost I

432
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: couldn't say anything. It was kind of like the moment

433
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: in the video that Dan Handis was nice enough to

434
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: put up on YouTube, which is just amazing, Like, I

435
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: am so happy I didn't go to New York this

436
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: year just so Mark could be there and enjoy the

437
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: Johnny Man's I'll pick but it on YouTube, folks, It's

438
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: it's sublime. It was, and you're just looking at that,

439
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: And I immediately said when I saw it, it's like

440
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: it looked like Mark was watching his daughter, Not that

441
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: he has a daughter, but if he did walk down

442
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: the aisle at her wedding or something. It was beautiful.

443
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: So I could watch it anytime I get seasonal depression

444
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Like market, the video is simply iconic. Well,

445
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, then listen. One thing. Kevin Patter of all

446
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: people knows that when you root for a team that's

447
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: been in the gutter for decades on end, that there's

448
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: a laundry list of negative experiences. And this is a

449
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: bad one, and it's it's high up there because of

450
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: like the the Mountain Topics positive side that it came

451
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: off of. But Brown's fans will live. I mean they've

452
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: been through one thing after another. That's that's life. Dan,

453
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: you should tell the listeners what to search for on

454
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: YouTube for this video. Yes, I can do that. Uh

455
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: if you do a simple web search, Google will do

456
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: If you do a simple web search, title it the

457
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: Sizzler reacts to j F F two Browns, it will

458
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: bring it up and you can check it out. I

459
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: would think that most of our listeners are many listeners

460
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: I've seen it, but it is it's it's it's musty TV.

461
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: And in the greatest sense and news to uh Nate

462
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: burl the I think the saddest moment of the whole

463
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: thing was after this, Gordon, when we found out Nate Burlison, oh,

464
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: by the way, happened to break his arm again again,

465
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: same one he broke stop delivering. You know, uh, let's

466
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: go through one last couple of picks from the last

467
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: day and then we'll get into our winners and losers quickly.

468
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: Are quarterbacks that were taken on Day three. I'm gonna

469
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: throw out four of them, and you guys can just

470
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: pick one that strikes your fancy. A. J. McCarron winds

471
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: up in Cincinnati. Aaron Murray winds up in Kansas City,

472
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: backing up Alex it Those are both fifth round picks.

473
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: Tom Savage, Gil Brand's boy falls all the way to

474
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth round. He goes to Houston,

475
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: and then the Titans duke take a quarterback, but they

476
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: wait till the sixth round for Zach Mettenberger. How do

477
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: we want to frame this? Maybe which one of these

478
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: four do you think is a legitimate threat at some point,

479
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: maybe not right away, but at some point to start

480
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: some games for these teams? Can you say none of them? Yeah,

481
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: none of them is totally acceptable. Well, I'm still not

482
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: convinced that Tom Savage is a real person. I'm gonna

483
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: leave him out, and I don't think I think that

484
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: it's the thing I pick is that all three of

485
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: them are all four of them will be on a

486
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: different team four years from now, probably, but mccaren um

487
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: only because the Bengals seem obsessed with completely mid level,

488
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: mezzanine level quarterback play that he fits that bill perfectly.

489
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: And I could see that them making a big splash

490
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: move by replacing Andy Dalton with a G mccaren get excited.

491
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: That was a This was a very tough day for

492
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: a J. McCarron, the news breaking, and then Ian just

493
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: went down a laundry list of issues that front office

494
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: officials had in their pre draft meetings. One was his

495
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: the unknown factor of if he could handle adversity, which

496
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: is Another was if his teammates like him. Another one

497
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: was would can he lead his teammates? Another one was

498
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: that he didn't participate in the Senior Bowl in his hometown.

499
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: Another one was that he took part in a reality

500
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: show with his fiance. Did him a lot of a

501
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: lot of things that the team was kind of rubbed

502
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the wrong The teams are rubbed the wrong way about

503
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: It does not sound and it also ties back into

504
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: my theory from a couple of weeks back. He's that thug,

505
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: I tell you, did anyone call him Eddie? Haskell. That's

506
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: my favorite derogatory turn from Scouts. It's a it's a

507
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: reference to leave it to beaver. Eddie Haskell was a

508
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: kid who was always you couldn't trust him, you couldn't

509
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: take him at face value. Was always and to put

510
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: something over on somebody West. I completely know who you're

511
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: talking about. You watch that show and rerun format in

512
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: our youth when we were pretending to stay home. So

513
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's an awesome reference that nobody

514
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: possibly gets in. Scouts are still using it to describe players.

515
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: I know that reference. I remember watching that show on

516
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: NICKI Knight as a boy, and Eddie Haskell was a

517
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: so you know, you connect the dotment it and you

518
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: can see what the big problem is for uh, this

519
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: young gentleman. One last thing on mccaren. I think this

520
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: is probably the best possible landing spot for him. Is

521
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: a great landing spote for anyone he's any Dalton's Bengals

522
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: future is kind of up in the air. Uh A J.

523
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: Green is a true number one receiver. They have two

524
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: good running backs right now, they have good secondary receivers,

525
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: two good tight ends, a good offensive line. They have

526
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Brown's legend Jason Campbell in the way though on the

527
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: depth day Captain chick down. There's a rule in the

528
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: NFL that Jason Campbell can never be with a team

529
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: for more than three hundred and sixty one days. Though

530
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: he'll just wait that he will be working at Walgreens.

531
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 1: By next day, April, he will be hohoot and Campbell

532
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: a Walgreen's checkout art along at the job. It's just

533
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: he can't keep one. He will be working alongside McCarron's agent,

534
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: the guy who told him to not play at the

535
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. How did that work out for you? Don't

536
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: didn't want to hurt your draft stock by playing at

537
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. And then he goes to the fifth round. Yeah,

538
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: this should be a lesson to prospects. Unless you are

539
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney and you're once in a generation, were once

540
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: in a decade type talent, you know you should probably

541
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: get yourself out there and trust your abilities. I feel

542
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: like this happens every year. But why, you know, why

543
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't mccarroen have taken part in the Senior Bowl when

544
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 1: he was aware. But that's the other thing about him

545
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: is that he he thought he heard some people telling

546
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: him some chatter that he was going to go between

547
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: sixteen and thirty five. He ended up going a hundred

548
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: and sixty four, So I know this. This seems to

549
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: be a lot of disconnect with this guy. Yeah, don't

550
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: win too much either. I guess that's what people should

551
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: have learned, right. And he also did he blew the

552
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: Titans off for doing a workout for them at one point,

553
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: which just seems totally you know where I know Eddie

554
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: Haskell from a lot a rep in the eight Mile movie.

555
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: Sounds about right. That's their generational gap that we trickled down.

556
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Tay Diggs followed me on Twitter today to

557
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: me too, Why did I get one that about? He

558
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: must be a loyal podcast listener. I don't know. It

559
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: just seems really random that this fantastically handsome African American

560
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: actor would suddenly follow me on Twitter. I'm very excited

561
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: about it. Is he one of those weird celebs that

562
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: just follow seventy thousand people for some weird reason. I

563
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: have a feeling that that might be what actually happened.

564
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: But hey, Dick, I think he's got like a twenty

565
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: two year old assistant that's into football. This guy has

566
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: never even seen this on Twitter accounts. One last thing

567
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: on on the Texans and Tom Savings, Well, this guy

568
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: is a project in like a nineties uh nerdy chick

569
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: has to be reworked over kind of way. So and

570
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: not until the hour into the film will this guy

571
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: get better looking for the Texans, which means, let your

572
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: case keenum flag flow. Oh my gosh, that you know,

573
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: like I wasn't planning to do this. Let's just start

574
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: the winners and losers now off of that, because I'm

575
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: going to give the Houston Texans a big fat loser

576
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: for just inspiring that sentence. And the fact that Ryan

577
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick as a starting quarterback for the whole season is

578
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: a thing that may be happening. They looked at what

579
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars did last year with Henny and Gabber in

580
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: that coaching staff's first year, and they said, we can

581
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: be more depressing than that. I mean, how this is

582
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: not an exciting group, Houston, even though you get Fanny,

583
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: you get the loser. Let's go around little winners and losers.

584
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Why don't we start negative. Let's start with Mark Sessler.

585
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Get negative, all right? And I think It's tough for

586
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: me to come out and say this team is completely failed.

587
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: But I don't like the way that the Buffalo Bills,

588
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: with a shaky scenario, gave up next year's number one.

589
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: I like the idea of going out and getting the

590
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, but I think they got fleeced in that trade,

591
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of pressure on that organization to

592
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: make the playoffs next season. I can't analyze what they

593
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: did from the fourth round on them, and I'm not

594
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: sure who a number of those guys are, to be honest,

595
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: but rust Cockrell from Duke oh, yes, well he is out,

596
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: it's implied. I don't like that. I don't like the

597
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: way they started that off. There's a lot of heat

598
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: on that team to suddenly win a very tough division

599
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: when you've got the Patriots in there. If you kind

600
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: of break down what the trade was all about, and

601
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: then the trade to get Stevie Johnson, I mean the

602
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: the upgrade from Sammy Watkins um from Stevie Johnson should

603
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: be significant and it should help them for years and years.

604
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: But man, they gave up a lot to get that upgrade.

605
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean that, and it's a type of upgrade that

606
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: it needs to make an impact in the next year

607
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: or two, or this coaching staff in GM, they won't

608
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: enjoy those years of Sammy watch and some other staff will.

609
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to another losing team. How about Patra,

610
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Let's get a loser. Um. I don't know if I

611
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: like the term losers. Every added players. Losers not as

612
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: good of a draft. That's fair. If you're doing winners

613
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: and losers from draft weekend, you would have way more

614
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: winners than losers, because it's just kind of silly to

615
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: kill teams. One thing I one team I didn't think

616
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: that that addressed all their needs was the Chargers. Uh,

617
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: they didn't get a wide receiver till the seventh round.

618
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: Is slot, slim prospect that's not going to get off

619
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: a press coverage. So I think that that was a

620
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: big hole for them going in and a deep draft

621
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: with the wide receiver group, and they didn't address that

622
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: until very late. And I still think they're Keenan Allen

623
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: and who um they got a short cornerback when they're

624
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: going against taller receivers with the Denver Broncos. When you

625
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: look at their division, I think all the other teams

626
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: got her and they didn't or two of the two

627
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: of the teams definitely got better. And the Broncos and

628
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders. You can are you about the Chiefs all

629
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: you want. And then their second round pick outside linebacker,

630
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: he's I think he's a year or two away from

631
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: being an impact player. So I don't think they got

632
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: much impact in this draft. In true charges fashion, They're

633
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: they're kind of the team that gets noticed the least.

634
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: They're they're up there in terms of the NFL, and

635
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: they probably took the draft class that got noticed the least,

636
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: and no one knows Jason Verrett and Jeremiah Tatcho And yeah,

637
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: just not saying they're bad picks, they're just kind of

638
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: flew below the radar. Dan, give me a loser. I

639
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: think I think you have to know where I'm going

640
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: with on this one. Cowboys. And it's not just because

641
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: the coffee, multiple sandwiches. It's because, you know, Jarra, Jerra

642
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: lost his nerve. He had Johnny Football lined up at

643
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: number one at the fix sixteen. It was acknowledged that

644
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: that Manziella's on top of the draft board at that point,

645
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: and yet he listen, he wimped out. In my mind,

646
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: and he went with a tackle and Zack Martin, that's okay,

647
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: that that's nice. That helped fills the need. But I

648
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: think this was a Jerry getting gunshine on the worst

649
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: possible uh stage. And then he's even giving interviews after

650
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: the fact and calling Johnny Manziel, Elvis and all this stuff.

651
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: It's like, even, I mean, Tony Robo, I guess he

652
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: should feel better about this because obviously they didn't draft

653
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But at the same time, Jerry Jones is

654
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: basically telling you this guy is my hero and I

655
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: want to be with him, but I can't do it.

656
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: I just I need to stay with my current wife.

657
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: So a little down about that situation. And then you

658
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: go down the draft. You know, this was a team

659
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: we talked about it leading up to the draft with

660
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: a lot of holes. Um, all right, So they filled

661
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: the hole in the offensive line. Then they trade their

662
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: third round pick to move up thirteen spots. I think

663
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: it was in the second round they get to Marcus Lawrence,

664
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: the guy that you know can get to the quarterback

665
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: and maybe becomes the new star to Marcus. And then

666
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth round they picked Anthony Hitchens. I don't

667
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: know much about him, but um, Dennis Daniel Jeremiah Guy

668
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: I trust says that this was a stretch that they

669
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: could have gotten him further down the draft. So I

670
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: just thought it was kind of an underwhelming, uh draft.

671
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: Not not gutsy, I just I wasn't into it. One

672
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: counter to that, though, Jerry Jones, a man who has

673
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: always had money and likes making money. What kind of

674
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: dough becauld he had made had he brought Manziel to Dallas,

675
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean suddenly that whole thing explodes. He had the

676
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: fortitude to say, I don't need that cash for me.

677
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't okay, we got cowboy are right behind me

678
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: here for for me. It wasn't that he'd passed on

679
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: Johnny Football. It was that he didn't go defense in

680
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: the first round, which was clearly their weakest area, and

681
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: there was there was a lot of good secondary players

682
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: that went off the board after that, and their secondary

683
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: was terrible last year. I'm torn because it was a

684
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: very Unjerry move and supposedly reportedly they changed the structure

685
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: in terms of who's running the draft room that that

686
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones took a back seat, and maybe that really

687
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: helped make this decision, and even when Johnny Manzel was

688
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: on the clock. Albert B. Beer reports they discussed taking

689
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: the pick. So you you were that close, Dan, because

690
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: he was number one on the board, we shouldn't have

691
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: mocked you. There was a shot there, and he basically

692
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: made the rational decision, I think because you have so

693
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: much guaranteed money in Tony Romo, even though it's not

694
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: exciting and it's not very Jerry Jones like right, And

695
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: and for the record, I didn't I never thought it

696
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: was necessarily the greatest move for the Cowboys to make,

697
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: but I thought that what would have gotten it done

698
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: was just the temptation would have been too great. But

699
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, if what save him is them changing the

700
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: leadership a little bit in that room, I'm a little

701
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: dubious of that. I feel like Jerry, if anything, at

702
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: age one is going to really button down and and

703
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: be more involved than ever. But if that would save

704
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: them from making this move, well, Steven ends up being

705
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: thing they're happy about her they live to regret. I'm

706
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: hearing that that man, that gentleman that polishes his glasses

707
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: during Sunday and Monday night games, is now in charge

708
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: of the draftick process. His son in law. By the way,

709
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: as we're taping this, I get a couple of direct

710
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: messages that says you got to keep it off the record.

711
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: And this is rare that this happens. And we just

712
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: talked about this about my pick for the losing team

713
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: for the weekend, that the Houston Texans, that that Andre

714
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: Johnson is not happy about what happened this weekend. And

715
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: you know you shouldn't be too excited, too worried that, right,

716
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: you're too worried that your star player is upset. But

717
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: you know you're making Andre Johnson happy that a quarterback.

718
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: Someone told you to keep this off the record. No,

719
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: they didn't say keep They didn't say keep that off

720
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: the record. How about Johnson and reuniting with Kyle Shanahan

721
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: in Cleveland? Actually, Andrew Johnson sitting next to me right now,

722
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: so I will now hand him the phone. Well, he said,

723
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: don't attribute direct lead to the person. It wasn't uh

724
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: anything I couldn't say. How about West, Let's get a

725
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: pick for a loser or two if you feel like it,

726
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: all right, I like to take a bigger picture view

727
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: of this. UM, I don't think you can really separate

728
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: the draft from what else is going on in the

729
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: off season, so kind of looking like for playoff teams,

730
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: how has your off season compared to other playoff teams

731
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: and non playoff teams? Is your franchise any better within

732
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: the division? The Chiefs are much worse in the division,

733
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: and they're much worse compared to other playoff teams. They

734
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: lose six thousand snaps in free agency. The first round

735
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: pick is basically insurance for Tom Baie. They don't have

736
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: a second round pick. Their third round pick, Philip Gaines

737
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: will allow them to trade Brandon Flowers, so they don't

738
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: really gain much there. May I call them a developmental guy.

739
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,479
Speaker 1: Their fourth round pick dand Anthony Thomas called by Rhoda

740
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: World's Evans Silva a guy who basically will not have

741
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: an NFL career. We'll see, and a fifth round quarter back.

742
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: And if you listen to Phil Emory, the Bears general

743
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: manager last week, any quarterback drafted after the fourth round

744
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: isn't gonna make it. Phil Emory then drafted a quarterback

745
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: after the fourth round. Just yeah, I'm just saying the

746
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a much worse team right now, and they

747
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: don't have benefit of the easy schedule that they had

748
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: last year too. They they're not going to be a

749
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: playoff team this year. I think that's a little similar

750
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: to the Bengals, just because I feel like the a

751
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: f C North had a great weekend and overall has

752
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: had a great offseason, and the Bengals have been treading

753
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: water or backing up. So it is about what teams

754
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: are doing in your division. I agree with you on

755
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and I would throw the Titans in there too.

756
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: They entered the draft, they entered the off season with

757
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson is their most identifiable player and basically the

758
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: face of the franchise. They are now a franchise without

759
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: a face. They drafted a third tackle in the first round.

760
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: They already had two starting tackles, and then Bishop Shanky,

761
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: who who is fine, but he's not like an earth

762
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: shattering talent at running back. This isn't Adrian Peterson we're talking.

763
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Titans are are a boring team

764
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: now and they were before. It's more frustrating for a

765
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: fan base. Then Hey, we just used our first round

766
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: pick on a tackle and oh, by the way, we're

767
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: now looking to trade the current starting tackle, So you've

768
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: essentially not added any talent to the team. Have that

769
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: sounds that sounds like a tough sell to me. I

770
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: don't know why I've got to I've got a feeling

771
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: about Sanky though. If you want he's fun, I feel

772
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: like he could be. He could be your face of

773
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: the franchise. I feel like it's also medically unsafe to

774
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: not have a face. I mean that you're saying, forget it,

775
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: it's over. Uh, let's be positive here, Let's go to

776
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: some winners. But what draft did we like? What stuck

777
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: out to us? Why don't we start with you? Mark?

778
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: I liked? Uh, Yeah, I don't know. Ever, you know,

779
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: every year it feels for me like Ozzie Newsom is

780
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: patient and they're they're never drafting high, and so they're

781
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: very good about allowing they're bored to be they're guiding

782
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: force in the right players seemed to fall to him.

783
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: I thought getting C. J. Moseley at seventeen great thing

784
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: for them. They loved having him land there. That's the

785
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: quality pick, a lot of value. Then in second round

786
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: you get Timmy journ Again, it's this is just this

787
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: is the Ravens every season, and it's like their defense

788
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: which a couple of years ago was talked about. Is

789
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: you know in decline, they're getting younger, they're adding parts.

790
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: They had a free safety later on Terrence Brooks, I

791
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: trust the Ravens and I and not listen. I'ven't. I

792
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: haven't sat down and watched four hours of Terence Brooks

793
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: in the secondary. But Ozzie Knewsom has and this guy

794
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: continues to hit home runs. Greg gear the undisputed champion

795
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: of body language, but Cessiler just put on a show.

796
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: During that last monologue draft, he was leaned over his chair,

797
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: looking at his laptop, speaking like a president addressing the

798
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: nation after you know, as some major news is. So

799
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: you're telling me that I'm in charge of millions of

800
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: people and their safety and livelihood. Sure we could go

801
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: down that road. I like my trust you. Mark. I

802
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: would too. I think if I could elect any one

803
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 1: of us president of the United States, I would trust Mark.

804
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: Check would be it would be unanimous, prohibitive. Well, he

805
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: would also eliminate electricity and meat. So if there would

806
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: be there would be some sweeping changes that would affect

807
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: each of your lives. Zach, are you even eligible for

808
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: this after living in England or I am. I I am.

809
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm just exciting. I could be president, couldn't

810
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: I Zach would be another's true I can't do it yet,

811
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: that would be another strong option. I feel like he's smart.

812
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: While I can still do this, I could just I

813
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: might as well jump on. Hey, Zack, you and I

814
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: were the only two guys in the group that can't

815
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: run for presidents. Were so young? Like that? Like that

816
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm being ignored about Patra Patrick have fun trying to

817
00:42:51,920 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: get car insurance. Patrick looks like he's actually so Uh. Patrick,

818
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: let's get a loser, I mean a winner from you.

819
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: I like what the forty Niners did, just doubling down

820
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: on being on their tough style. Uh. In the last

821
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: two years they lost gold, Goldson, and Whittner and their

822
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: there their safeties. Last year they get read. This year

823
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: they get a hard hitter in the first round, Jimmy Ward.

824
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: I like Carlos Hyde. Sooner or later Frank Gore will

825
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: get overtaken even though he beats off all comers. He's immortal.

826
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. I like carl Hyde's game. He

827
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: could have gone a lot earlier. If if every NFL

828
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: team just didn't decide that the running back a position

829
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: was devalued um. I like Marcus Martin. They had a

830
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: need at center. He was Mayock's first number one center,

831
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: so I like what they did there. And Chris Borland

832
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite players to watch last year,

833
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: just at the Wisconsin inside linebacker, just always around the ball.

834
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: That is a Jim Harbaugh guy if there ever was one.

835
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: Not early athletic. There was some questions about his shoulder,

836
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: but if you watch any Wisconsin game, he was at

837
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: every play that was near the line. He was in

838
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Alden to play. It was ridiculous. So I really like

839
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: what they did. And then adding Bruce Ellington gives some speed.

840
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: And then we talked about team building all the time

841
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: and have been so good at it. They just started

842
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: drafting guys for next year. They got two guys that

843
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: are gonna start off the season on publist. So I

844
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: I really think what they did in the NFC West

845
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: was great. Patrick going deep there. I like that they

846
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: also led the draft in trading. I don't know what

847
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: that but they traded down like fifty times. They're they're

848
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: going to use them in Seattle. I think they're trying

849
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: to battle to see what happened to that San Francisco

850
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: pass rusher. Uh, the guy that like had never played

851
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: football and he was like either from Germany or Central

852
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: one last year from England. Yeah, I don't know. I

853
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: don't know if there was last he was on he

854
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: was on the practice squad last year. Yeah, get him going.

855
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, how does gold Standard dropped that name? He's British.

856
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: Gold Standard is on fire right now. By the way,

857
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: there's no height is not on every place him we

858
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: went through. We were just naming off the running backs

859
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: that that Frank Gore, the Inconvenient Truth has slayed, Glenn Coffee,

860
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: Michael James Kendall, Hunter guys show up, Anthony Dixon, guys

861
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: show up to San Francisco, all excited for their NFL career.

862
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: That's gonna be great. I'll learn under Frank or and

863
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: he basically destroys none of them as good as Carlos

864
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: Side was my takeaway? Gold Standard for yourmas Clayton May

865
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: I suggest, asked Jeeves, and this is the man you

866
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: want to be president. I'm more of a bing guy, Uh, Mark.

867
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: I had to enter doss into these computers before I

868
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: could get on. It's awesome. That's before your time, Dan, uh, Dan,

869
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: let's get a winner four from you. You know, I

870
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: know Patrick's not gonna like this, but I like with

871
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: the Bears. I like that the Chicago Bears didn't a

872
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: team that needs defense, so they just went straight forward

873
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: and they drafted four defenders in their first five picks.

874
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: They got some hot Molly's got some hot mollies up

875
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: in this mix. Kyle Fuller as a cornerback, who uh

876
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: uh you know when you're playing in that division with

877
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and uh, of course Teddy Bridgewater tearing it

878
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 1: up and Matthew Stafford, you need people to cover. Fuller

879
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: is gonna step in and have big role. Ego Ferguson,

880
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: how about that great name? I think they should wait

881
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: for his younger brother. How are you not going for

882
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: the Jets? I don't think they hadn't necessarily Let's stay

883
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: in the point, hang on Ego Ferguson and then Will

884
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: Sutton to defensive tackles stopped and run. I like it.

885
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: As for the Jets, I thought they had a solid draft.

886
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't spectacular. You're making it sound like all your

887
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: previous Jets analysis was sober and rational and fair and ballad. Well,

888
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: if you go back and listen to it, it usually

889
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: is to be honest. I like to pride myself and

890
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: not being a pie in the sky Jets fan, and

891
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: I take offense to what you're saying. I like the

892
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: Jets draft. I mean I if you yeah, if you

893
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Jets, I I did like it.

894
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: I did like the tight end. I thought that was

895
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: that was a nice pick up. And then they you know,

896
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: they went and finally addressed the wide receiver position on Saturday.

897
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're going to get out of

898
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 1: those guys, but I did notice a trend. Right this

899
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: is obviously a rex Trait Prior is known as a

900
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: physical safety that punishes a guy in the box. Uh.

901
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 1: And you know you have a huge tight end sky

902
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: tomorrow is six five to six. That's that's beastly. And

903
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: then Jalen Saunders, who they drafted today. Mayock said during

904
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: the NFL Network telecast, despite his size he's five nine,

905
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: that he's the toughest wide receiver in football. I don't

906
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: even know what that means, but it sounds like the

907
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: Jets we're going for physicality in this draft. You're burying

908
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: the lead. Bad news for Comby. Jeff Cumberland could be

909
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: in trouble here. You know what, I had a couple

910
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: of Twitter users that are aware of my affection for Comby.

911
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,439
Speaker 1: I think Comby is gonna be just fine. He's gonna

912
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: find his role, He's gonna find his niche and uh,

913
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: come seasons ens he will have six touchdowns and six

914
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: twelve yards and be like the sage, older veteran teaching

915
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: the young buck. So you're saying he's gonna lead the

916
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: team and receiving West at a zinger. You didn't even

917
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: hear it, Dan, That's a shame. I'm sure it was

918
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: very positive about the get wes. Uh, let's have some winners.

919
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: We've talked about these two teams leading up to the

920
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: off season, the Steelers and Falcons both kind of on

921
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: the precipice as teams did like to fancy themselves as

922
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: contenders but needed great off seasons. The Falcon's got so

923
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: much more physical, so much more tougher, adding guys in

924
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: free agency on both sides of the ball on the lines,

925
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,760
Speaker 1: and then the first two picks this year on the lines,

926
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: big tough guys. But the Steelers. I really love how

927
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: they were a team that Warren Sapp has said it

928
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: for two and a half years now old and slow

929
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: gotta go. They turned that around. Got the fastest linebacker

930
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: on the draft, the fastest player in the draft, and

931
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: dree Archer Uh, their second round pick, step onto it.

932
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: The Steelers believe he would have been a top ten

933
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: pick if not for a hernia that he played through

934
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: this past year. Fourth round, they get that big red

935
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: zone receiver they wanted, Martavis Bryant, who six four has

936
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: a Randy Moss frame deep threat. Uh has the most

937
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: yards per catch since Herman Moore in college, and Clemson

938
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: guys stay faster than Sammy Watkins. I like it. I

939
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: don't need to be convinced to get back on the

940
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger should lead this team to the playoffs bandwagon.

941
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: I agree with Pittsburgh Atlanta until they ripped the roof

942
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: off that dome. I don't care up them getting more

943
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: physical and more strong. They play in the most, by far,

944
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 1: the most tedious indoor environment. Have you have you missed

945
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: the Rams games? For the Rams Stadium looks like a

946
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: grade school hallway. That's very fair, and they've built a

947
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: roster on offense to suggest as much. But Atlanta right

948
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: now has me because Atlanta gets put in primetime all

949
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: the time. Just sit down for three hours. Have you

950
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: taken a sleeping pill? No, just come watch this affair.

951
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: They're building a new stadium though. That's, you know, to

952
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: their credit. In Mark's eyes, every time we did winners

953
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: and losers, then the Falcons would just be a permanent loser.

954
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: What was their record last year? The Steelers one of

955
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: your winners there? They did draft literally the fastest player

956
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: in the draft and the biggest player in the draft,

957
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty two pounds six seven defensive tackle

958
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: Daniel mccullars. How do you like to how do you

959
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: like to get into mix with him? They got a

960
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: lot bigger and a lot more athletic, which they desperately needed. Uh.

961
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: My favorite team I think this weekend was the Tampa

962
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. I mean they give us strength, and that

963
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: strength is defense, and they just decided we're not gonna

964
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: take any defense. We're just gonna aggressively fix this offense

965
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: as much as we possibly could. Mike Evans Austin Seferian

966
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: Jenkins were two of my favorite guys just because they're

967
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: the physical guys who can catch the ball the point

968
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: of attack. People compared Safarian Jenkins to Gronk. Uh. They

969
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: take a good third down back type in Charles Sims,

970
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: and then they just keep going offense. They matched up

971
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: a little bit what the Bears did in terms of

972
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: going for guys that seem like they'd be good in

973
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: the red zone. Now you got Jenkins, Evans and Safarian Jenkins. Uh, sorry,

974
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson, Evans and Safarian Jenkins, that's gonna be a

975
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: ridiculous team in the red zone. They were the worst

976
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: team in the red zone a year ago. It's flat

977
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: out identity theft. Well, that's good right where they said

978
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: with josh Ba Cown, look what he did with the Bears.

979
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: So they brought in Mike Evins, who was compared to

980
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey a little bit, Safari and Jenkins compared to

981
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: Mortellis Bennett, Charles Sims compared to Matt Forte. It's perfect.

982
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: They got the same offense. It's genius, smart, brilliant, it's smart.

983
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you? I mean, I think it's time to

984
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: go downstairs. Update the publish date and republished that Bucks

985
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, I wrote about a year. I am

986
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: glad you gave that segue, because I've been writing that

987
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: and fielding that all week. I don't know if they're

988
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 1: going to become a trendy team. I hope not, because

989
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: they are. I'm picking them to the playoffs. I like

990
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: the but I think they're already a trendy team. They are.

991
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: I think it's too late. Can't They can't be a

992
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 1: team if they're trendy. The day that Loves Smith got hired,

993
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: they were a trendy pick the day the one big

994
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: problem there, and by the way, they never traded. Uh,

995
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon, you have a little time left. You have

996
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: technically until Sunday, right, I have until the end of

997
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: the day tomorrow. Yeah, but most likely you're gonna lose

998
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: some sandwich, Isn't that I'm not holding my breath. Jason

999
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: Light said today that they had offers and that they

1000
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 1: want to keep Glenning good. Chris. You know, we'll we'll

1001
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: get into the go get my lunch standings in just

1002
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: a second, But for now, I'm just happy that Chris

1003
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: isn't awash and ten Sandwiches, which was on the table

1004
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: at one point this weekend the other team. We gotta

1005
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: at least throw out the Browns as a winner. I

1006
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: mean what Ray Farmer did in the first round. If

1007
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: you had said that ahead of time, that they could

1008
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: have gotten justin Gilbert Manzel and a first round pick.

1009
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't care what happened the rest of the draft.

1010
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: It's not their fault. Gordon got suspended. They're a winner.

1011
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: Anyone else have any winners the City of New York

1012
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night. Oh, it's time to go singing?

1013
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: I I agree this, So that'll just about wrap it up.

1014
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: But before before we go, we will update you on

1015
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: our standings for our sandwiches. And we're just gonna assume

1016
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: that Westling loses the Mike Glennon bet. Is that fair

1017
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: to say? Chris? I am not waving the white flag,

1018
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: but I am also not holding my breath all right,

1019
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: But let's say he does lose that by the end

1020
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: of Sunday. Hey, I don't like losing. Losing for losers,

1021
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: that's right, you get the sandwiches. If he somehow is

1022
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: traded by Sunday, we acknowledge that. But assuming he's not

1023
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: end up with Chris Wesselen getting four high octane sandwiches

1024
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: delivered to him. We'll get Mark Sessler tied for first

1025
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: in the standings, getting another for high octane sandwiches, getting

1026
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: him for lunches he doesn't want, donating mind to charity. Yeah,

1027
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: that's just that's just sad. That's why you're president material.

1028
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: That's exactly what the president would do. Zach, we went

1029
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: over the other day. You were already done. But let

1030
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: me say this. I would have paid two sandwiches to

1031
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: get to play in the big boy pool. So thanks

1032
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: for having, Thanks for having I feel great to be involved.

1033
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 1: You guys should see Zack's face right now. He either

1034
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: looks like a politician or a homicidal maniac. I don't

1035
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: know what. Soccer jersey from southern Germany just glowing right now.

1036
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: I also owe to sandwiches after this weekend, had a

1037
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: slight recovery to avoid disaster today and then Dan, you

1038
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: owe these, You owe the group four sandwiches. So that's

1039
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: that's a big price for you to pay. Well, you

1040
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: know what you gotta go. You go bigger, go home,

1041
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm proud of my effort. I went for

1042
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: something big. I went all in on Johnny Manziel and

1043
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: it turned out it was a smart uh, it was

1044
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: a smart gamble. It just didn't go my way. It

1045
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: was like one of those close but no cigar situations.

1046
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: So I look forward to reimbursing the gentleman with a

1047
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: different high octane lunch and which one of us can say,

1048
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: oh when we speak on the podcast, you know, twelve

1049
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: days later, suddenly Mike Mayock drops some mocked rap following

1050
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: that person's as to a yeah, I think there was

1051
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 1: a connection there. Honestly. Now you guys are cute sticking

1052
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: up for each other in the hotel room in there

1053
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: in New York. All right, I think that does all.

1054
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: We want to thank the uh at go get my

1055
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,439

Speaker 1: as duck tails summarizing the gunny sum to get my

1057
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: lunch standings. And I also I want to also thank Tristan,

1058
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: who also has been tracking. It's good to have multiple

1059
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: official scores, just kind of a check and balance, so

1060

Speaker 1: the Twitter handles great. Tristan as always our our best listener,

1061
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: our number one listener. He uh, he did a great

1062
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 1: job with it too, So you know, they I think

1063
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: we'll have to bring the game back right before the

1064
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: start of the season. Start saving up some money. Yeah,

1065
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,680
