1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Be around the NFL podcast is mentally still want to 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: be each in Mexico. It's true from the Chris Westling 3 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: podcast studio. It's around the NFL. I'm the guy still 4 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: in Mexico, Dan Janzas. Here were some heroes, Mark Sessler, 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: Great Rosenthal, and it was jut. I was just made 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: aware that even though I was on vacation, the world 7 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: went on right. I mean, I wasn't in Mexico. Who 8 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm not ready for this. I've only been 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: to Mexico a few times, and I drove across the 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: border those times. Badass boys drive badass toys. Actually, I uh, 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: I also went into Mexico and that voyage I went 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: from Colorado to in Theory l A. We got stuck 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: in Arizona, but we dipped into Tijuana for a bit 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: um and some unspeakable things occurred. Now we've been told 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: last time I mentioned Colorado not to bring up color 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: Auto anymore. Really or is that Arizona? I think that 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: was Arizona. Happiness was in Colorado, so he's happy to 18 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: Greg has a factual history based on no facts. Camp 19 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: Happiness was a place of Mark's adolescence and that Greg 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: actually asked the question about it during art with Greg 21 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: and I spent the most the whole weekend together, I'll 22 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: tell you that much. Yeah, we did a lot of 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: a lot of good quality time. We were down at 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: the the Wolf Mansion and then we saw you at 25 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: Keisha's on on Sunday night. So it was it was 26 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: a nice, very nice weekend. And I'd like to say 27 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: that I missed you guys. I did miss you guys 28 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: while I was on vacation. But when you guys are 29 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: digging into you know, is the a f C East 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: fourth place schedule actually harder than the NFC North's first 31 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: place schedule. While I'm toes in the sand sipping on 32 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: mescal down in he called, I don't think I didn't 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: miss I didn't miss some things of what I missed. 34 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Put it that way. I feel like you stumbled into that. 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: But now it's gonna become an every year thing. Like 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: Dan missed schedule release week and now suddenly that's going 37 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: to become his thing. What no no one else can 38 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: leave schedule releasing that. I don't like that trend. You 39 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: know what it was? Okay, it's fans, Yeah, fans love it. 40 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: We got you know, Rachel Bennett, you're you're dismissing the 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: great guests we had on that because obviously it's not 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: sure about came on and Collin. It was great. We 43 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: had a ball. You had Rachel on the show. We 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: had a ball. It was it was a robust um 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: enterprise and Rachel was on the show, and I know 46 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: there was that controversy. She declared vengeance on you, and 47 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: I imagine my co host on the show came to 48 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: my defense on program. Absolutely, I was somewhat confused by it. 49 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: I was saying, we're here right now. What more inner 50 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: circle do you want? This is the show. That was 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: all I said about it. I think it's assumed we'd 52 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: fend would defend you. We don't need to say anything. 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: She was a little offended that you weren't here. Yeah, 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: she thought that was somehow I like that part of it. Yeah, okay, good, Well, 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: I like Rachel. You had Claibon involved County Fox. Of course, 56 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: that's great. We got a nice show today, We got 57 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: another show coming up with later in the week. We 58 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: got a nice guest coming up later. Mark, you are 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: heading out yonder. Won't even ask where you're going. This 60 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: is your last show of the week, so let's make 61 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: it count uh and um coming up a little bit later. 62 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: There are certain presumed truths of the NFL kin of 63 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: sent this time of year, post free agency, post draft 64 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: h and I say we deep we debunked some of 65 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: those presumed truths because sometimes the assent is actually the 66 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: cony sent nailed it. That's usually where a Dan sound 67 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: drop comes in. I thought there was a special Sometimes 68 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: you just let that, Thank you, Paul Rudd. But first 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: let's do some news. Zach looks good. Uh, he's definitely 70 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: hit the way. Room looks beefy, uh in a good way, 71 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: in a good way. Well, you can tell Dan is back. 72 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: He's wearing a Zach Wilson his good shirt. That maybe 73 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: that's number one on your condescent day list, that Zack 74 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: Wilson is good because I don't think the cognizent is 75 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: on on that yet. No, But I I will say 76 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: this about Zachie. He was a little boy last year 77 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: in every way physically. That is a that's a trope 78 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: all the way. Obviously, Um, offseason guy beefs up, but 79 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: he really needed to beef up. And I hope that's true. 80 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: And it does look like a thick boy. Now he 81 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: looks slight. He he looks like a thick boy. I 82 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: think it's time for him. Maybe he still looks like 83 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: a child, So we're are we going to the th 84 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: h I C C B O only T I T 85 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: H I C C B O I B O I. 86 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: I'm in love if he turns into a thick boy. 87 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: I feel like if Zach Wilson we're on any other team, 88 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: you would be shredding him. But because he's on the Jets, 89 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: somehow he's hit. The way he presents himself is getting praised. 90 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: But it's good to be back. Let's get into it. Yeah, 91 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: let's talk about your quarterback. I don't have a quarterback. 92 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: You're almost quarterback. Sports Illustrators Albert Breer Burt Brier believes 93 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: the NFL is likely quote wrapping things up close quote 94 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: in the Deshaun Watson investigation. NFL reporter Josina Anderson reporter 95 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: that league officials are meeting with Watson this week in 96 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: Texas after lengthy invest the gagetion into more than twenty 97 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: allegations of sexual assault against the former Texans quarterback, signed 98 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: to a massive guaranteed deal by the Browns after a 99 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: trade in March. Brier says that the NFL investigators usually 100 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: talked to the player last. So here we are there, here, 101 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: we are at this stage, and it makes sense at 102 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: a certain point everyone needs to know what's the situation is. 103 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, you really did get me thinking, Greg a 104 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, when you're talking about this, I 105 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: was thinking, oh, you know, I'll probably get dinged hard here. 106 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: But now I don't know. The more I think about it, 107 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: and it's like, is this gonna be a slap on 108 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: the wrist relatively? Um? And what's that gonna mean? And 109 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: what's that story gonna be in the league? Um? How 110 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: do you feel about this? And this does seem like 111 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: it's coming down now Finally, Yeah, I don't have any 112 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: predictions or any feel of how this is gonna go. 113 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: And NFL discipline has been very hard to predict over 114 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: the last ten years just in general. But I just 115 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: thought this story is certainly noteworthy that it is likely 116 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: wrapping up and it is time for it to wrap up. Um. 117 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: The civil lawsuits are not going to be wrapping up 118 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: according to the timeline that we've seen, Like if there's 119 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a trial. They're still going through all these processes. 120 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: It could last through the year, it could last into 121 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: next year. So the NFL by medium seems to be 122 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: indicating they are not on that timeline. Uh. Pro Football 123 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Talk put out different possibilities. One could be a suspension 124 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: and maybe they'll be more later, or not a suspension 125 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: and maybe they'll be more later. But either way, this 126 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: is the biggest X factor of the season. It's like, yeah, 127 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable talk about. I don't think there's a ton 128 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: of analysis, but it's absolutely the most important piece of 129 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: information that we don't know about this upcoming season. We 130 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: have no idea what Watson's availability is gonna be like, 131 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: and I would think that that has to be coming 132 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: to a head soon. Yeah, I mean, if you the 133 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: reason I think everyone's saying it's coming soon is because 134 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: this is how these investigations playout. They do all their 135 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: work and they go to the subject typically of the 136 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: investigation as the final note in the case, and then 137 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: we will probably at some point and who knows, this 138 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: could be a little bit down the road, but it 139 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: feels like a nice summertime Friday news dump. When they 140 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: dropped their result on this, and you know he's he. 141 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: The other thing I noticed about this is that Deshaun 142 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: Watson right now has flown thirty members of the Brown's 143 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: offense to the Bahamas. And that's fine. Um. You know 144 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: what that tells me is that the players don't care 145 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: at all about any of this. It's just like their 146 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: teammates now and they're signing up to this. I mean 147 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: not that I expected them too, but it's like there 148 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: when you go into the actual Yeah, what are you 149 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: gonna do with that? I know, I I guess so, 150 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: and like I I see more and more of the 151 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: fan base drifting back to the team if there were 152 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: issues as well. So tells me that money that first 153 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: signing bonus hit, not that he was doing poor, but 154 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: like or does he go to the Bahamas and never 155 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: returned with the guaranteed money? That's another option the Browns say, Hey, 156 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: let's lay low on some type of extravit in Bahama's 157 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: trip when this is still pending right now. I mean, 158 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: they don't seem to care to that. There are elements 159 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: of the story, like the headline at ESPN dot com. Really, 160 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, just just like this bottomless sinkhole of filth 161 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: sources colon Deshaun Watson to meet with NFL. Comma also 162 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: will bring Cleveland Brown's offensive teammates to Bahamas to bond. 163 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: Just the story is just still so sloppy and messy 164 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: and um unfortunate obviously as well. And it's funny, Like 165 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: I tweeted about that headline and I thought it was 166 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: kind of notable in my replies that there are a 167 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: lot of Browns fans like you, Mark, that were turned 168 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: off by the organization and have turned their back on them. 169 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Browns fans that I'm sure 170 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: feel don't feel good about this at all and are 171 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: kind of laying low because what do you say? But 172 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: then there's the vocal, whether it's a minority or the 173 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: majority of the other type of Browns fans, they're like, whatever, 174 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: shut up, you baby, I'm happy my quarterbacks here. We 175 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: got a QB one now and that that Again, there's 176 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: so many levels to the story Browns fans. It's such 177 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: a great friend uh fan base and a franchise that 178 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: everyone was kind of intrinsically rooting for. That Now, those 179 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: type of bone heads, those bozos are like the mouthpiece 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: of the organization. On social media. It just got mark. 181 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: We talked about this privately too. There's so many layers 182 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: of the story that are disappointing and what it meant, 183 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: what his means to the Browns as an organization, both 184 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: in the short and the long term. We're just beginning 185 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, And it's like it's funny because 186 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: says we were walking in here. NFL Network was replaying 187 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: the pretty crazy Brown's Chargers game from last season, where 188 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: you know, the Browns put up a ton of points 189 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: and barely lost to another great offense in Los Angeles, 190 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: and uh man, that feels like a long time ago. 191 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: It's kind of the last great Baker Mayfield moment because 192 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: we certainly didn't leave that game being like Baker Baker. 193 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: He was sensational through large parts of the game, but 194 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: he did not. He had a chance to win it 195 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: and he couldn't. And I think that's part of the 196 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: d n a of why he's not with the team 197 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: right now. I do think it's interesting that Ian Rappaport 198 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: on Pat McAfee even this week and he said this 199 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: twice now, and I don't understand how this could ever 200 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: happen that it makes sense He's not saying this would happen, 201 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: but it would make sense at some point for Baker 202 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: Mayfield and the Browns if Deshaun Watson is suspended for 203 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: a long time, to just basically put it behind them, 204 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: come play, get his money, and maybe get traded midseason 205 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: if he plays well. I mean, it makes logical sense 206 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: that they he would be an upgrade over the guy 207 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: that's in the house, and he's already under contract and 208 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't have any doubt. All that makes sense. I 209 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: guess that's probably why Ian's coming from on that. But 210 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: obviously it's a poisoned Jake Briskets starting those games. If 211 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: if Watson is uh, let's now talk some contract news 212 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: and let's do it with a little time for news 213 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: and notes and contract heat presented by up work where 214 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: you can build the team that will build your business. 215 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Learn more and upwork dot com. The Packers couldn't find 216 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: a way to make it work with Davante Adams, but 217 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: they do with Jaire Alexander, the cornerback. He signs a 218 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: four year, eighty four million dollar contract extension that includes 219 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: thirty one million two and a cornerback record thirty million 220 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus. You may remember when Jalen Ramsey got 221 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: the Bag a year or two ago, and that was 222 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: twenty million UH in annual pay. So cornerbacks um mark 223 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: not the hottest market earlier in free agency. But we're 224 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: seeing this now with some deals with some in house 225 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: superstars Denzel Ward another getting paid by the teams that 226 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: no how important they are to their defense. Yeah, and 227 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: the beat writers covering the Packers, they were on this, 228 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, months ago that they knew this was happening. 229 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: This is something Green Bay wanted to do. I know that. 230 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: You know, Alexander missed all but uh four games of 231 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: the regular season, came back to play in the playoffs, 232 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: which actually are in a ton of street cred with 233 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: the coaches, with his teammates. Aaron Rodgers called him one 234 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: of the most interesting players he's ever been around. So 235 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: he's beloved in the locker room, the team loves him. 236 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: And if you look at this secondary, because I know 237 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: we've talked about the Saints, we've talked about the raven As, 238 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: you know, top one two secondaries in the league right now. 239 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: This Packers team is there because you've got Eric Stokes, 240 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Darnell Savage, Adrian Amos, Roswell Douglas who blew up blew 241 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: up last year. There's a lot to like here, and 242 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: it's you may get to the point where this would 243 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: be a weird site. The defense might finally and slowly 244 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: have a small edge over the offense on this team. 245 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: I think this was a top eight coverage unit a 246 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: year ago, and I think they could be better if 247 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: Alexander plays the whole year. I think so. I think 248 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: on paper they have one of the better defenses in 249 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: the league. And the Alexander contract was interesting to me 250 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: for the money purposes, because the cornerbacks got to be 251 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: seeing these wide receivers making all this money. And to me, Gira, 252 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: Alexander is absolutely at the same level of in A. J. Brown, 253 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: and he's not far off of Davante Adams, like he 254 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: should be potentially the highest paid cornerback in the league 255 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: and he and he is basically, but it's still way 256 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: below the wide receiver numbers. Uh. I think it's Eric 257 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: Eager does this war type value um stat at PF 258 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: E had j I R. Alexander is the most valuable 259 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: cornerback in the league in so that's the type of 260 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: player he is. Cornerbacks aren't making that sort of money yet. Um, 261 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: but the Packers showed like it wasn't about money with 262 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. You mentioned that like they could have gotten 263 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: that done. They still have one of the most amount 264 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: of cap space in the entire league, and yet they're 265 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: spending a ton of cash. They're like in the top five. 266 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: So all those little fake um, what is it the 267 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: stock the stock sales that they do, or they just 268 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: like print cash and everyone gives them. Those are all 269 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: part owners. Well it must be helping because they're you know, 270 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: they're a small market and they're spending more cash than 271 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: just about anyone. And this this is a smart way 272 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: to be spending your money. A player you know that 273 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: is this good? He is one of you're pretty plugged 274 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: in on the salary cap stuff. And if you're telling 275 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: me they still had a could have had a way 276 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: to keep Davante Adams in the building, I still I 277 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: don't buy it. To listen, they lost, but in actually 278 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: on that same appearance, I heard him talking about they 279 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: offered Davante Adams more cash in the first two years 280 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: of his deal than the Raiders wanted to and it 281 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: was like the highest receiver contract of all time. So 282 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: what maybe it could have been handled a little more 283 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: definitely in the earlier stages of his career with the team. 284 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: But whatever, maybe he just wasn't meant to be and 285 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: it was not the defense that knocked him out of 286 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Last year, they gave two field goals in 287 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: the NFC Divisional playoffs. There was a blocked punt and 288 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers in the offense with Davante Adams down 289 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: their legs. If you knew that, would you not have 290 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: bet your house, Dan that you own a bank? Well, okay, 291 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: but I mean would you if you knew that's what 292 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: they were they were going to give up that that 293 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: kind of defensive performance, There's no way they lose that game. 294 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: I was locking up my lock title, I locked up 295 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: the pack. I said this is in the bag and 296 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: I needed a late Rams touchdown to hold onto the trophy. 297 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: That was a stunning locked defeat um Because yeah, that 298 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: didn't make any sense. I keep his town in location 299 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: in there and let people just investigate if you're in 300 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: the area or if you're not and you want to 301 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: come to the area. Uh. In other news, Jarvis Landry 302 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: is now a member of the Saints. The Saints signed 303 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: the former Brown and Dolphin wide receiver, so he now 304 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: slots in nicely. Slot nailed it, Michael Thomas, Chris Lave 305 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: the rookie Jarvis Landry, and I think the thing that 306 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: really jumps out to a lot of people, Greggy was 307 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: the money. Rap Sheet reported that Landry's base salary is 308 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: just three million dollars. Tom pell Sera said it's worth 309 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: up to six million. That's a great deal for a 310 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: very good wide receiver. Yeah, there clearly was very little 311 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: market for Jarvis Landry. I don't think Will Beckham will 312 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: be the same. I'm curious if the Saints might try 313 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: to keep this LSU thing going and bringing o b 314 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: J still after getting Honey Badger in Landry. But I'm 315 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: really thinking this Saints team looks pretty good on PAPOR. 316 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they won a lot of games last year 317 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: with some pretty lousy quarterback play. Maybe Jamis hasn't gonna 318 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: be much better, uh coming off the tourn a c 319 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: l or not. But suddenly you go from Marcus Callaway 320 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: being your number one receiver and he did get over 321 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: eight hundred yards, to Marcus Callaway being your number four 322 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: receiver behind those three guys you mentioned, and that's a 323 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: nice a nice set up with a really good looking defense. Yeah, 324 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: they handled their needs and there you know their thin 325 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: position groups as well as anyone. There's something about the 326 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: Saints because this was a you know, in a year 327 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: where suddenly you don't have maybe a home run at quarterback. 328 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: Their attitude was, we're going for it. We're going back 329 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. We're gonna knock Tom Brady and the 330 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: Bucks out of one of those two regular season games, 331 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: if not both, like last year. Jarvis Landry totally fits 332 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: and he's already tweeting at Odell Beckham, and I think 333 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: that has real sway the idea that you know, they 334 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: were together in Cleveland. It went sour to go to 335 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: the Saints, their hometown and to bring back Honey Badger. 336 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: There's something about this New Orleans team that um is 337 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: spicy as I look for a team to root for, 338 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: maybe just in spirit for a year. They were in 339 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: the top three for me at this point. And they 340 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of cap space too. They cleared all 341 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: that space for Watson and then didn't get him, so weirdly, 342 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: they have a lot and there are another team. I 343 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: like teams that are just trying to win, like you 344 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: don't always have to take a huge step back. They won, 345 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, they had a winning record last year and 346 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: I think they should again. The if you were a 347 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: Saints fan this year they were a finalist for Deshaun Watson, well, 348 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: you're right, I don't. I'm not trying to be some 349 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: sort of school in the arm about the whole thing. 350 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: The Browns thing to me, that was if it was 351 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: a cake, that is a big part of the cake. 352 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: And there were other things in that whole Browns thing. 353 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: It is this weird thing because like you know, we 354 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: know Saints fans, and there was a lot that were 355 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: rooty against Watson. But the second that you don't get him, 356 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: it's like, well it didn't matter, Like, yeah, they went 357 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: for him, but they didn't get him. He's not the 358 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: guy you have to root for. Dana. Dana is a point. 359 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: It is. It makes you look like you're all over 360 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: the map. So and it is a little bit of 361 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: a Saints fan club in here, and I'm sorry that 362 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm not part of it. But I think everything they've 363 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: done and the roster looks good. I think the division 364 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: is certainly competitive. They have a chance to win that division, 365 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: but questions a quarterback and head coach or it's fair 366 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: to ask how that's all gonna work together in two. 367 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: But other than that, the roster is pretty good and 368 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: quarterback and head coach are not small things, pretty bad 369 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: looking good except for the old quarterback and head coach. 370 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: All Right, that was News and Notes presented by upwork, 371 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: the world's work marketplace. Learn more at upwork dot com. Alright, 372 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is done. Yeah, speaking of Saints and legends 373 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: and maybe the quarterback in two. Drew Brees uh is 374 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: out at NBC. By the way, big guest book booking 375 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: this week. Andrew Marshan, who's taken the sports media beat. 376 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: And he's just like like a dog with a bone, 377 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: and if anybody even comes near a bone, he flashes 378 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: those teeth and the people run away. The other dogs 379 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: run away. It's it's notable that it's almost all NFL bones. 380 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: It's not the other. No one seems to care about 381 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: who's announcing the baseball game of the week or the 382 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: NBA playoffs for the most part of my stuff, though 383 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: he does, he does, but I mean, does it get 384 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: on any of you guys follow all this does it? 385 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk about with Andrew. But it's a perfect storm 386 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: where he's definitely plugged in. And this just happens to 387 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: be this revolution in that industry of announcers being paid 388 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: like star quarterbacks. Now just like, yeah, it's his be 389 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: what is the what is this drop? It feels revolutionary 390 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: more thank you. I had asked Grave Digger behind the 391 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: scenes about forty seven seconds ago on our I Am 392 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: client to have the miss of music ready, and then 393 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: he played it and I didn't know what it was, 394 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: so that little vacation fog there. I could have learned 395 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: from you. Uh. One thing I missed out on when 396 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: I was in the host chair was to check my 397 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: my computer. Man, I forgotten a complete segment with Connie 398 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,239 Speaker 1: on the show because I didn't check Gravers. I am 399 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: the one. You should do that thing where you get 400 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: in the host ear. You could have done that. Yeah, 401 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: that's what I wasn't sure if Greg was just like, well, 402 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: we've been going for an hour or so, I'll just 403 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: get it. You don't know, it's unpredictable, Turf. I thought 404 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: you did an excellent job those days, and then it 405 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: was not on you it's on me, all right. So 406 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: that's a great point. Mark. There you go, Mark, alright. 407 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: Breeze is forty three years old. He retired from football 408 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: last March. Spent last season as an NFL analyst for NBC. 409 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: The musical Chairs game that we're gonna get into with 410 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: Marshawn left him without his seat, so he tweeted Sunday 411 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: in response to the New York Post Andrew Marshawn Marshawn article, Look, 412 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: Marshawn is, I'll save it for tomorrow. I'll save it 413 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: for this week. Here we go, later this week, here 414 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: we go. Here's a Briese had to say. Now, the 415 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: missive music, It's really kind of caught me off guard 416 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: there too. He was just trying to push the show. Yeah, 417 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: he was trying to get me to my meeting. Despite 418 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: speculation from media about my future this fall, I'm currently undecided. 419 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: I may work for NBC. I may play football again. 420 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: I may focus on business and florent This is always 421 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: a tough one for philanthropy. I may train for the 422 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: pickle Ball Tour, Senior golf Tour coach. My kids are 423 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: all the above. I'll let you know that laughter was 424 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: my laughter in an editorial note. So and then Uh, 425 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, speaking of Dennis Allen said of that cryptic tweet, Uh, 426 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: it was likely made in jest about a potential return 427 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: to football. Uh. We could save the the analysis of 428 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: his broadcasting career for later in the week. But do 429 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: you guys think there's any way we see breeze again 430 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: on the field. No, because I think this a The 431 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: Saints aren't don't sound interested on any level. I don't. 432 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: I think that what we saw of Drew Brees was 433 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: the right time for him to leave the field. The 434 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: only thing I'll say about broadcasting real quick is I 435 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: won't be here for that. One is that that tweet 436 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: is a point blank explanation of why Drew Brees is 437 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: not going to be with NBC anymore. He is not funny, 438 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: he is not interesting. I don't find that quote um 439 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: in any way entertaining, right. I don't. I don't think 440 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: he was just Also that the tweet before it was 441 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: about signing a uh Landry and Honey Badger, and and 442 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: he said makes me want to come back and play again. 443 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this doesn't seem that subtle. But I'm with Mark. 444 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't think there's much of a chance that he 445 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: will play because the Saints are the only team that 446 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: you could imagine him playing with, and they seem to 447 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: be putting out the word through the reporters and even 448 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: Allen's comments that they're just not that interested. The fact 449 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: that he started it with with I may work for 450 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: NBC after the report was that they are moving on 451 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: was a tough, a tough scene. It felt like it 452 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: mind me that you know that drill tweet where it 453 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: gets retweeted a lot, It's about a decade where it's 454 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: like I'm not owned, I'm not owned. I continue to 455 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn 456 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: cup just like that. That's that's the meme that the 457 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: Drew brees. He's like, I'm not owned, I'm not on. 458 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: I was not fired, Like uh yeah, it was a 459 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: bad year. But you also, you know there's something that 460 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: said about developing your talent and he didn't give much, 461 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: get much run. I guess that's got a bad vibe. 462 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: Can I make one little note about the missive music? Um, 463 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: could you just play it for a second because I 464 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: just want you to think about this. This is this 465 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: is like I'm not saying this was recorded during the 466 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: Revolutionary War. It's obviously it's a new band has come 467 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: and done this, but in real wartime scenarios there were 468 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: boys like the tasked with wearing like the tight clothing 469 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: and playing on a flute while everyone else has a cannon. 470 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: It's like every like you're walking around with a musical 471 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: instrument on a war field. It sounds like one of 472 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: the worst possible tasks. Now, what is it about the 473 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: tight clothing on small boys that stands out? Now that 474 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: maybe what's standing out so much. They were all in 475 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: that clothing. But it's like you're in your award and 476 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: everyone else is getting a musket and like you know, 477 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: hand revolver and you know, a club or whatever, and 478 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: then you're like, here's a flute. Yeah, here's to the 479 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: front of the Wait, we're also here for our enemies entertainment. 480 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: Let us play music for them as well. It just 481 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: feels slightly off key. I wonder I would definitely watch 482 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: a Netflix documentary on that, Not that any of the 483 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: participants are with us to tell us how it really worked, 484 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: but you would imagine they would take the physically weaker 485 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: UH soldiers maybe the more musically inclined but not most 486 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: that partically gifted the artists, maybe the the you know, 487 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: the the the the offshoot of the NFL painter here 488 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: that that has to finish it in two hours or less, 489 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: potentially us it's coming back for that. I would tell 490 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: on the Saints paintings soon. Yeah, No, that that that's 491 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: absolutely fair. Mark. Let's um, let's ponder. That's take a 492 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: break and ponder it. We'll be right back to finish 493 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: the news and then we'll get to our sex. All right, 494 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: let's spend through the rest of the news real quickly 495 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: here because we've got to get things done here, all right. 496 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram Edge, I think he was on a he 497 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: was a gray Beard too, so he comes out of 498 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: gray gray Beard purgatory to sign with the Dolphins formerly 499 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. You like that move, Greggy, I do. 500 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: I think he could wind up starting for them their 501 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: top three. I'm I'm banging through the projected Starters series. 502 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: The NFC is going out this week, gavec next week. 503 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: I believe they have Andrew Van Ginkel and Jalen Phillips, 504 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: who actually that's a good young duo. But Ingram comes 505 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: in there. Those three probably share the snaps. It's a 506 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: good looking roster on paper, this Dolphins team, and I 507 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: think that was one of their biggest weaknesses. That was 508 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: a nice move. All right, you got something else. No, 509 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: I was pointing to you that you can we have 510 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: business do you can keep going. It's like, did a 511 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: great job with that. But now because we had that miscommunication, 512 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: it's filling in the void. What would have been a 513 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: take for you that would have well, we need to 514 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: do another shows to get that kind of thing ironed out. 515 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy legal trouble. Colorado sheriff has announced that Jerry 516 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: Judy's arrest UH this week or last week is on 517 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: second degree criminal tampering with a domestic violence enhancer. The 518 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: Sheriff's took department in arab Pahoe County, Colorado. Listen, he's 519 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: a native. I actually lived on a Rapaho road for 520 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: a bit, so there was no act of violence before 521 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: Judy's arrest on the charges, and he will be released 522 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: on bond, or has been released on bond. So some 523 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: criminal issues uh for Jerry Judy. We'll see how those 524 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: charges play out. Falcons acquire wide receiver Brian Edwards in 525 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: seventh round pick from the Raiders in exchange for a 526 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 1: fifth round pick. This has got you hot in the pants, Greggy, 527 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: it really doesn't um. But they had another move, I 528 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: mean some revelations. It's it's as like thin a receiver 529 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: position front. It was as thin a position as they have, 530 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: so Edwards could potentially start. But they also made a 531 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: signing this week that caught my eye knit Quitkowski who 532 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: I U. Who I always will remember is that West 533 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: was a big fan of his in his last year 534 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and then the Raiders signed him. He kind 535 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: of fell up the map when he went with the Raiders. 536 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: But that was only interesting because it really looks like 537 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: Dion Jones is not going to be back with the Falcons, 538 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: something I didn't realize until I was doing this Projected 539 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: Starters series that even their UH team website basically indicated 540 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: that they expect him to be traded or released. That 541 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: there's three different options of what they're gonna do with 542 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: Dion Jones, and option three was, well, he could stay here. 543 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: So it sounded like a guy who I was writing 544 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: about at halftime of the Super Bowl as like the 545 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: key piece of a defense that was shutting down the 546 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: Patriots and was certainly a core player for that Falcons 547 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: team for a while and made a lot of money. 548 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: And it's still young, only twenty seven. Will probably not 549 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: be a member of the Falcons by the time we 550 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: get to the season. I don't know if they'll be 551 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: able to get a late round pick or what they'll 552 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: get for him, but he's a good young That is 553 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: a rough roster. M hm. You had something there, Greggy. 554 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean you, you don't think that was show worthy? 555 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: The real player? Hey, listen, you were passionate about it. 556 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: The Falcons don't always get the most coverage. I'm very umm, 557 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm on board with it. You had written in your 558 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: potential news rundown the event um next to Brian Edwards 559 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: and Nickikowski. I have a connected take and all we 560 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: better get that. Well, here's why, because every once in 561 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: a while you'll see a pretty low level news item 562 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: and I have a connected break. I don't blame you, 563 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: but you just take it out of the show because 564 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: it's like we go too long and you see Quickkowski 565 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, why are we talking quick Kowski? Just like, 566 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: let's get this in there for the Dean. They signed 567 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: Rashaan Evans, by the way, too, so they have two guys. 568 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: He also drafted someone there, so it does broadcasting move 569 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: grave digger, Um, where's your drop? By the way, that 570 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: doesn't go away because I want to vacation. UM put 571 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: it in the list of potential segment ideas. I have 572 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: a connected take there. For a second, I thought you 573 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: were gonna make fun of me and say like, we're 574 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: gonna do Dion Jones landing sponsor something later. And now 575 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: we were letting you have that. You're your passionate And 576 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: finally in the news, Matt Rule, the yes, I'm gonna 577 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: say it, No, not moribund coach, the embattled Matt Rule. 578 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: It's his turn. He's got You know, we always like 579 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: who's gonna be in the next coach who has to 580 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: each for four straight months and then get fired or 581 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: eight straight months. Last year, of course is Matt Maaggie. 582 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: The year before it was Adam Gaze and Natty Rule 583 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: you get the crown. Earlier last week, a report came 584 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: out that Panther's owner David Tepper is interested in potentially 585 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: hiring former Saints head coach Sean Payton next season. UM. 586 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: After Payton tests interest interest in doing television and uh, 587 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: Joe Person has covered the Panthers there forever. On the 588 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: Panthers eyeing Sean Payton report, Matt Rule said Dave Tepper 589 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: called him to tell him the story was coming out 590 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: and there was nothing to it. And and yet Mark, 591 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't feel true. It does not feel true at all. 592 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: Number one, the statement that the Panthers issued read reads 593 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: as such, we would not talk to or consider it 594 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: back to the missive and for an embattled coach, Greggy 595 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: take the flute. We would not talk to or consider 596 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: a coach who's under contract with another team. Uh. Now, 597 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: hold on, They doesn't even mention, by the way, uh, 598 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 1: we love Matt Rule, like we believe in that rule. 599 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: It's like we just wouldn't do that, like you you 600 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: already And by the way, are the Saints in any 601 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: scenario who owned the rights of Sean Payton gonna ever 602 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: trade Sean Payton a at all? Probably not, but be 603 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: inside their own division to the Panthers, Are you nuts? 604 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: I um thought this report had validity to it. That 605 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: was only emboldened by that phone call to Joseph Person 606 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: that you mentioned. And by the statement, I mean that 607 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: it's like you're protesting too much. It also was a 608 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: random but reputable source like out of nowhere, and when 609 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: reports happened like that with someone that's credible but like 610 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: doesn't usually break into phone knows like this guy knows 611 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: like he has some inside information, and it totally makes 612 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: sense to me. And I take offense that you get. 613 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: You say I'm the flute guy, um like a No, 614 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: I was reading the statement so not artistic at all. 615 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm terrible at music and I'm sneaky athletic, So put 616 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: me up on the front lines. I'll get I'll get 617 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: stuff done. You know I'm not gotta be you were Gregg, 618 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: you were a vocalist in a goth Man. It's fair 619 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: it was not a well, I mean that you've given 620 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: us no other proof that it wasn't. I mean, we're 621 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: not gonna put you with all the barbarians like the 622 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: back row. You know you gotta have a I think 623 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: you would make sense as like the fast like guy 624 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: doing like Ninja moves up front. If we're gonna just 625 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: if you insist endurance, I don't need to even state 626 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: my credentials. But that's actually probably beneficial for the flute 627 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: players in that realm to be athletic and inside you know, 628 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: it's inside of your brother is an accomplished guitar player. 629 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: He's a composer, but it's not inside me. I composer 630 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: for Christ's sake, And it's in you. It's in you somewhere. 631 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, I have some I have a 632 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: little sound um from the future. Do you want to 633 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: hear it? Yes? All right? This is from January mat 634 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: Role running out of the team facility at being fired. 635 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: That's going to the airport we just landed in Austin. 636 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: International's renting a car and he's signing a huge contract 637 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: with a big twelve team where he'll be the head 638 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: coach and be happy again. One thing, remember the Panthers 639 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: signed him to like a seven year deal and annoyed everyone. 640 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: He could be paid to do nothing for like the 641 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: next four years. It annoys David never else. I also 642 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: noticed that Sean Payton, in his TV deal that we've 643 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: heard like has been percolating for a while, is gonna 644 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: be with Fox and he's just filling in on days 645 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Johnson isn't there. So it's not like this 646 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: is this is clearly sort of a hit it and 647 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: quit it scenario for him in the media. He seems 648 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: very much angling already to be getting back into coaching. Right, 649 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: It's like, how many days does Jimmy Johnson missed that's 650 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: a whole job. Maybe it is, maybe it's like seven days, 651 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: but it's it can't be like that many days are 652 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: going to come to the production meeting. I don't care. 653 00:34:54,239 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: That's that's damnash X impression of we all right, that's 654 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. All right. Now, it's time 655 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: to debunk some presumed truths of the football cognisant day ellipsy, 656 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: ellipsis ellipsy or should I say con yes, Sunday, I'm 657 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: gonna start one one that's very unpopular. And again, this 658 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: is not necessarily uh my feelings personally that I'm dooming 659 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a team that they have no chance, or you know, 660 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: whatever this is gonna be. It doesn't mean this is 661 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: how I feel. It's just more about, like, let's toned 662 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: down the rhetoric. Let's tone down group think is a 663 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: crazy thing on in the NFL and on on Twitter, 664 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: and everybody seems to get hyped up about the same teams, 665 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: and I just want to bring the temperature down a 666 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: little bit. In Detroit. Let's start there. Um, the presumed 667 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: truth is the Lions will be good. It's gonna bring 668 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: that down. I think they're much closer to the Bears 669 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: than they are to the Packers. And for what it's worth, 670 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: Vegas agrees DraftKings has there over under its six and 671 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: a half wins. But wouldn't that indicate it's not a 672 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: presumed truth at all. That's sort of the best draft kick. 673 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: But DraftKings is separate than the football I can you 674 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: sent it? You hear it. I'm with you, especially of late. 675 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: And it's funny before I with Greg's help, of course, 676 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: because he had to send me the link where to 677 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: find this information. Um, I went through their schedule and 678 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: I did it with a generous eye, and I saw 679 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: and then they're gonna be on hard knocks and that's great. 680 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: I can't wait. I see seven and ten, which is 681 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: a big jump forward for the team. So I would 682 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: bang the over. But if you look at a schedule 683 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: of team and you see whatever the record is, you 684 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: can make the case for two extra wins, which would 685 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 1: make him nine and eight and probably a playoff team. 686 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: But you also can go the other way, and you 687 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: can say well, they can go five and twelve too. 688 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: I think that's within the realm. Um. The bottom line 689 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: for me is they're probably a year away at least, 690 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't rush to make them a thing. You've 691 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: seen a little bit that with the Jets right now 692 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: too on in the a f C. There's no need 693 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: to rush. They can improve without being the next Bengals, 694 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: and I think that's the best case scenario, um, and 695 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 1: I have some reasons why, but I just want to 696 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 1: throw it to you guys and get your initial feelings 697 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: on that. I'm with you. I think that there's a 698 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: there's were conflating the idea that the Lions are finally 699 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: not like raging Lee Dull. There's interest around them. Um. 700 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: The way they finished last season I think has a 701 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: lot to do with the way people think they might 702 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: just pick up where they left off. They have their 703 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: wide receiver room compared to where they were a year 704 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: ago this time is juicy. They've got parts on offense. 705 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: I think they're good on both lines. There's a lot 706 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: to like about the way they're building the team, and 707 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 1: they're competent finally. But the idea that they're gonna hop 708 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: scotch the Bears. I can buy that because the Bears 709 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: are gonna rebuild. The Vikings and the Packers no, and 710 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: so are you gonna be the third team in that 711 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: division to make a wild card or go win nine 712 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: games and then balance out with the rest of the NFC. 713 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: I think they're a year away, but I do think 714 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: there's a reason for optimism find where I think the 715 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: excitement is just about the process. Though. I think when 716 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: we get to August and we see that list of 717 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: like the thirty NFL dot Com analysts, they'll be about 718 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: to that actually pick them to the playoffs. So now 719 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 1: we're pushing back against the excitement, and I'm I am excited, 720 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: But to me, it's more about the build, and I 721 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: think people like to get on for the ride. So 722 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: to your point, you're right, everyone's excited because it's like, Wow, 723 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: they're making smart decisions, Their coaches seem like they get it, 724 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: their front office seems like they get it, their teams 725 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: coming together. And yet I think most of the people 726 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: even saying that, including me, are totally on board with everything. 727 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: The two of you guys just said that it's it's 728 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: coming up. If things broke really well for them, maybe 729 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: this year, Like you said, could be interesting you get 730 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: a winning record, but it's more like we're getting in 731 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: on the ground floor. This is gonna be fun. It's 732 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna it's like the process in Philadelphia. People love to 733 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: get into the rebuilds, and this is actually a rebuild 734 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: that looks like it's in a steady year two. Client, 735 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: you know what's happening, because here's here's to your point 736 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: in like you're gonna start to see this with certain 737 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: people out there that it's it's may you want to 738 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,879 Speaker 1: make an impact as any in the list. I could 739 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: go on a long two minutes speech talking about how 740 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm on the Lions bandwagon right now. They're going to 741 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You've done it in the past, Well 742 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: I did two years ago, and I couldn't have been 743 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: more wrong. It's not not even because of that that 744 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it, but it's like there's a 745 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: lot of that packaging, the idea that you're the Lions person. 746 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: It goes out on Twitter, a bunch of people start 747 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: to rally around you, and it's a product for the 748 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: the analyst more than reality. And it would be shame 749 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: on me if I'm pushing back against the excitement because 750 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: look at my family, Agians. That's what I have right now, 751 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: the idea that you're building something ute team right now. Yeah, 752 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: quote unquote the right way and all that. Um, but 753 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: it's not that I think there is a contingent within 754 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: the inner circle of the conescent a that is seeing 755 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: this is maybe more like they could shock people this year. Right. 756 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't even want to have takes right now because 757 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: I realize I usually like change my takes between May 758 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: in August and by August I probably start like reacting 759 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: to the other takes that are out there. So I've 760 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: just gotta like withhold my takes. That's good. I think 761 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: that's smart. I think for them to get to get 762 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: to that nine and eight, you know, golf has to 763 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: stay healthy and be pretty good. James, you think nine 764 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: and eight is doable though, because I think golf has 765 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: to play well. Jameson Williams has to make an impact. Um, 766 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: you need this offensive line to hold up, which I 767 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,280 Speaker 1: think it will looks good. The running back rooms exciting, 768 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: but you need health in that realm Aidan Hutchinson should 769 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: make it an immediate impact, but you kind of need 770 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: him to. Jeff A Couta's back, But is he going 771 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: to be a guy that lives up to his draft stock. 772 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that have to go right there. 773 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: The back seven on defense, their linebackers, and then their 774 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: secondary is certainly the weakest part of their team. And 775 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: I think they coached them up well last year. Um, 776 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: but they're a year away too. In addition to golf, 777 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: Hutchinson though, is joining a really exciting front group, Like 778 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: I think that is a pass rush that goes six seven, 779 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: eight deep. Uh, And that's that's a nice And we 780 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: do love Dan Campbell. Everybody loves Dan Campbell and he 781 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: was the per to kind of face of that team 782 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: during that season. I would like to see him and 783 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: the coaching staff with a better roster. Do they play 784 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: the guitar Eric Rosenthal? I mean, how dare you Dean Rosie? 785 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: What's his middle name? Stewart? Okay, so you didn't even 786 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,959 Speaker 1: get the men will never forget that again, I'm sorry. 787 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: And there was a part in like high school going 788 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: into college where he either was considering or actually did 789 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: go by the art like by the name Dean Stewart. Well, 790 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: that sounds like it sounds like something, but I felt 791 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: like it's a little like you're throwing off the Jewey 792 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: Rosenthal of it all. Probably entertainment that move. So it's 793 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: not like he went I don't think he felt bad 794 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: about it. He went back, you know, all right, what 795 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: do you got? Mark? Uh? Okay, this probably won't be 796 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: very popular in this room. Um. I just feel that 797 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: the wrongnessenti or NONNISCENTI have CONNSCENTI have crowned the Buffalo 798 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: Bills a little early, very rich and deep AFC. And 799 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: do I think that they're a playoff team? Absolutely? Are 800 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: they probably gonna win their division? Absolutely? Are they are? 801 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: They will see the way they do from there they 802 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: were They lost six games a year ago, going five 803 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: and one against a putrid a f C. East. I 804 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: think the Dolphins are a different team. They're gonna be 805 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: tougher to defend than ever before during all of this business. 806 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: I think the Jets are the kind of team that 807 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: can split with the Bills the Patriots can split. I 808 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 1: really do think that if the Jet unless the Jets. 809 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: But if the Jets can't beat the Bills and they 810 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: can't beat the Dolphins, then what are we twire? We 811 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: talking about the Jets so much there's got to be 812 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: a step at some point. Well, that's that's fair, But 813 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: I would just say, you went five and one in 814 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: your division last year and still lost six games. They 815 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: open with the Rams, the Titans, the Dolphins, who they're 816 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to see them early before they have a 817 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: lot of tape on what they're doing, the Rave and 818 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Chiefs and the Packers. The schedule opens 819 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: up from there, but they don't have the easiest of slates. 820 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: And I would just say over the last two years, 821 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 1: a they've done an awesome job building up the team. 822 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: They did an awesome job growing Josh Allen. Brian Dable 823 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with that. You have to 824 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: project and hope that Ken Dorsey, who has been there 825 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: for a while, it's a seamless transition. I think it's 826 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: a good guy to take over, but he's never done 827 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: what Brian Dable has done before in the same capacity. 828 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: There is difference right there. That does take away the 829 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: quarterback relationship. And everything went right healthwise, mostly for the 830 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: Bills over the last two seasons. They it wasn't a 831 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: team that had to deal with a ton of adversity. 832 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 1: Does that happen three years in a row to NFL 833 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: teams typically not. I'm just saying I'm not projecting them 834 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: in the A s C title game without putting any 835 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: mental thought to the fact that the A s C 836 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: as a thorny mess right now. That's where your argument 837 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: to me lands, that there could be eight teams that 838 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: you could see being in the a f C Championship 839 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: and just assuming that the Bills, who I think on 840 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: paper are the best team on paper and finished last 841 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: season so strong, are just gonna be right back there. 842 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 1: We we know that's just not how it always works. 843 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: But just because of that doesn't make me really believe 844 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: in them left. It's more just the a f C. 845 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: You're right, some of those teams that aren't the Bills 846 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: essentially or the Chiefs are gonna step up and probably 847 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: be a superpower too. I just think they'll be with 848 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: the Bills. I think the Bills will be alongside whoever 849 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: those other teams are. And even before Brian day Ball 850 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: left town, we were talking for weeks on this show 851 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: during the regular season last year out what happened to 852 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: the Bill's offense. It's it's not impossible if they could 853 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: have as similar or even worse issues as they kind 854 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: of start this new era. I will point out because 855 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,439 Speaker 1: Buffalo fans are probably yelling at their player right now. Uh. 856 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: They did lose Tradevious White to torn A c l 857 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: last December, which was a crushing loss for that defense. 858 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: Um the year before, I think they were far more healthy, 859 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: but that was a huge loss. You get him back 860 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 1: like nothing went wrong, but in general it wasn't like 861 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: that what happened to the raider so big on the 862 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,959 Speaker 1: Bills two years ago. But I like them, I think. 863 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: I think it's just that when everyone became a Bills 864 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: fans sudden, it was like, because they were ready to 865 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl last year, that's a fair he 866 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: likes to get in before. That's why late period Browns 867 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: fanning for you was so difficult. I imagine. I wonder 868 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 1: if that played apart and you're jumping off. All of 869 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: a sudden, there were Browns fans literally everywhere you look, 870 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, wasn't so special to be 871 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: a Browns fan anymore. Even in our building. There was 872 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: a time when I was like, there are like twenty 873 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: seven Browns fans inside NFL network. It's just like, okay, 874 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: I get it. The thing with the Bills though, why 875 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: so many people including myself, are so high as I 876 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: just think they had a great offseason. On top of that, now, 877 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 1: dealing with expectations is difficult, but this is a team 878 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: that added von Miller and on top of that Dai 879 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: Kwon Jones, Tim Settle, which I think we're smart. Moves. Uh, 880 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 1: they take a cornerback and you get white back at 881 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 1: in the first rounding and you get white back. Just 882 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: the moves all made sense to me this offseason that 883 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: they took a great roster. They were satisfied, and it 884 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: looks a little better even too. That's fair floutest loudest, 885 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 1: he's a lout ist. I tried. I tried to be 886 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 1: a good musician. I could not live up to d 887 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: You know this is your chance seeing shadow. How cool 888 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: would it be to be a good musician. I don't. 889 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 1: It wasn't. It wasn't in me. I tried. I talked 890 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: to we. I think Ricky played a sound drop on 891 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: this message I left for Colleen. If if you just 892 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: learned that acoustic guitar, if I could just kind of learned, 893 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: wonder wall, if I could I learn a couple of 894 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,760 Speaker 1: Pete yourne songs. In two thousand one, what would have happened? 895 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: You would have been on fire at at party, exactly 896 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: like that room off the main room in a party, 897 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: the sky's playing this little wonder wall. Wasn't Hoboken with 898 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: my buddies years old, and we come back from Washington 899 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: and I got the acts. Then what happens? I'll give 900 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,280 Speaker 1: you some lessons sometime. What is it me? He's always 901 00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: got to insert his swarthiness into the episode. You know, grape, 902 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna use that for the blonde paramore. That is 903 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 1: not to be spoken of on the show any longer. 904 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: Oh no, he doesn't want that. Oh here's a song, 905 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: a little song. Yeah, it's it's it's a romantic special. 906 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: It really break in the lady. But throughout this I 907 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 1: think Dan, you would have married a Hoboken area bartenders disappeared. 908 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: Lyrics were not what people were into with Bush. It 909 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: was that that dude was hot, you know. I think 910 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 1: they helped. He was not a thick boy either. He 911 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:39,959 Speaker 1: was a life, live live. He was a live boy. 912 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 1: All right, Um, let's take a break and continue. All right, 913 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: you're up, all right, I'm gonna base mine on stupid 914 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,400 Speaker 1: my mentions, and and I'm just gonna assume like my 915 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: mentions are somehow indicative of consensus. Jalen Hurts is like 916 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: the biggest question when it comes to the Eagles out 917 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: there to me. But what I'm pushing back against is 918 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: the idea that Jalen Hurts needs to take this big 919 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: step for the Eagles to be a really good team. 920 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 1: He to me, he doesn't. He's already there. He's better 921 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: than people think. He definitely had his worst or second 922 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: worst game of the year in the playoffs, and that's 923 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: absolutely a concern. But he's also a second year starter. 924 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,319 Speaker 1: Who uh to me, you know certainly that happens. It 925 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: happened to Josh Allen. Not saying he's gonna be Josh Allen. 926 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: He is close to being a league average starter or 927 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: already a league average starter right now. And like my 928 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 1: belief in the Eagles, And you mentioned the over unders 929 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,439 Speaker 1: for the Eagles, it's an eight and a half, which 930 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 1: seems crazy to me. To me, I think they can 931 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: be And this is one take I don't mind getting 932 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: there early. I'm not going to back off it. I 933 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 1: think they can be a ten eleven win type of team. 934 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,840 Speaker 1: Because their team is really strong and all they need 935 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: is Jalen Hurts to basically repeat what he did a 936 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 1: year ago, except now you're gonna have a little more 937 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: help with a j. Brown. But keep that running game 938 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: going with with him as a huge part of it. 939 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: Keep being efficient enough as a passer and getting the 940 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: mismatches that a Lamar Jackson gets in the passing game, 941 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: and he is going to be just fine. The rest 942 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: of the team can help him out and that they 943 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: can be a contender with Jalen Hurts being the guy 944 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 1: he was a year ago. I think the I have 945 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue with them the conceit 946 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: on this one because I think within the realm of 947 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: the football COGNISENTI it seems to me like Jalen Hurts 948 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:51,360 Speaker 1: is a popular figure um and it's fans, including Eagles fans, 949 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 1: a lot uh times it seems that somehow or sometimes 950 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 1: seem to have doubts about his ability. I feel like 951 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: the general vibe about and maybe I'm wrong. Mark, You 952 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: tell me what you think is that Hurts is a 953 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: young ascendant quarterback that's not as talented maybe as the 954 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: top tier guys. But put him in the right offense 955 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: and let him use his legs and his arm. He 956 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: can be a guy that's a top twelve starter potentially, 957 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 1: Like is I feel like that's where most people are 958 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 1: at it. Well. I think also that there's two different communities. 959 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 1: There's the football fan, but then there's the fantasy community 960 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 1: that are all over Jalen Hurts. They love him because 961 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: I think his floor is so high, right, and I 962 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: so that sort of I kind of think his floor 963 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 1: as an NFL starting quarterback is similarly high. Like to me, 964 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,720 Speaker 1: he's a tick above where Teddy or two Ah, we're 965 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: a year ago and that team is strong. That's why 966 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: I like the Eagles. It's not because of Jalen Hurts. 967 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 1: And there is a chance here because Jalen Hurts got 968 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,320 Speaker 1: so much better. I think from college to his rookie 969 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: years to second year, there's certainly a chance he could 970 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: mature and continue to become a better passer and go 971 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: up another level. And then you're really healthy and gas 972 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,760 Speaker 1: you're cooking with grease. That's actually sounds dangerous. That sounds 973 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: like a house exploding. The Jalen Hurts health issue, because 974 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 1: if he's got to be a guy that moves around 975 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: a lot. He had ankle surgery in the off season. 976 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: It kind of wiped out his UH ceiling throughout the 977 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: end of the season. In the playoffs, he does his 978 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: style play match up with what the big man upstairs 979 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: gave him BodyWise. Staying healthy is a skill set, it 980 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: really is. That's fair because I I think he is 981 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 1: not ready to be transitioning away from his running game 982 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: being a huge part of that offense. That's what made 983 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 1: that offense. And I think they still need to run 984 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,399 Speaker 1: him a lot. It's maybe year four or five, whatever, 985 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,399 Speaker 1: you start backing off a little, We're not there. That's 986 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 1: the one thing with A. J. Brown is like they 987 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: you love the idea of them adding him, but that 988 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: wouldn't have necessarily made the team what they were last year, 989 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 1: like they were in a typical type of offense. But 990 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: one thing, you've been on the Eagles thing and you're 991 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,560 Speaker 1: projecting them to win ten games. They won ninety year ago, 992 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 1: So you gotta go a little stronger if you want 993 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: to be in this Eagles When it comes to it, 994 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the over under was eight and a half, 995 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 1: so yeah, clearing that, I think they have a chance 996 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 1: to be really, really good. That type of team. All right, Uh, 997 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: let's see, let's do a quick one. Okay, Um, Greg's 998 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,240 Speaker 1: got this meeting coming up, so many we've got plenty 999 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: of time. I'm concerned about your schedule. How much time 1000 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 1: do you have We'll be done well thirty two. If 1001 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: they were coming to you, I guess you'd have to 1002 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,880 Speaker 1: travel in the building somewhere. So no, it's just a 1003 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: phone call. It's just the phone thirty two minutes. All right, 1004 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,879 Speaker 1: here it is. This is the general kind of consensus 1005 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:52,359 Speaker 1: statement slash bit from the football Cogney sent they Tom 1006 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 1: Brady will take the top analyst job in the NFL 1007 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 1: on Fox Booth upon his retirement. So I guess that 1008 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: will be about six. West love that soon. Five. This 1009 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 1: is Tom Brady's last year. And if you can't see that, 1010 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 1: you're not paying attention this. This is not all your 1011 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 1: bits about. He'll be playing forever. No, like he tried 1012 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: to retire this year, he couldn't bring himself to it. 1013 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: He didn't have things quite set up how he wanted to, 1014 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 1: uh in terms of post NFL. Something to take up 1015 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: his time, something to focus on. This huge deal. And 1016 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it with Andrew Mishan. I know you 1017 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,320 Speaker 1: guys talked about it last week, where he gets paid 1018 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,320 Speaker 1: Bonker's money to be the number one booth guy for Fox, 1019 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: who's two super Bowls in the next three years. All 1020 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 1: this stuff ties in like they want him in the 1021 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: booth for the Super Bowl in at least one of 1022 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: those years. Uh and maybe both uh. And that's why 1023 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 1: you kind of can connect the dots here. This is 1024 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: tom Brady's final season in the NFL, and I've been 1025 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 1: wrong about a lot of things at the end of 1026 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: tom Brady's career, but this one, I will pound the 1027 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 1: table on the football Kanya CENTI could take all their 1028 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: bits and stick them where the sun dn't shine. You're 1029 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 1: not paying attention, I will say, at least um, I 1030 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,360 Speaker 1: hope this makes you happy. When we talked about this 1031 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady news, there were no none of those two 1032 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 1: jokes that I kept. There was a lot of Twitter bits. Uh. 1033 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,320 Speaker 1: And I agree with you, Dan and I that news 1034 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 1: that popped up today, uh Tuesday as we're taping that 1035 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,720 Speaker 1: there is a roast planned on Netflix for Tom Brady 1036 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 1: next year. Like it's all setting up, He's setting all 1037 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: these things up. I totally agree that this is gonna 1038 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: be it, and it adds It adds a fun element 1039 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: to this Buck season because it's a good looking Bucks team. 1040 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: They got a chance to do it again. I hope 1041 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: he stays healthy. Alright, one more go ahead, mark Uh. 1042 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: This one annoys me because this has been happening for months. 1043 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: I understand that all four teams in the a f 1044 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 1: C West are juicy that they are all. If we're 1045 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 1: all in different divisions, they might each win those divisions. 1046 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: But when I'm hearing you know, oh, this could be 1047 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,879 Speaker 1: the division that offers up four playoff teams or at 1048 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 1: least three. First of all, they play each other. We 1049 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: all know that that's gonna be a problem because when 1050 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: you have the inflated record, it's because you're the Packers 1051 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,880 Speaker 1: playing the Vikings, the Bears, and the Lions in this division. 1052 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: These types of teams they are. But secondly, they also 1053 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 1: play the schedule. They played the NFC West on top 1054 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: of it. Now, I know the NFC West with you know, 1055 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,640 Speaker 1: Seattle situation, Arizona up and down, but like they were 1056 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 1: that division a year ago and they didn't get three 1057 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 1: playoffs exactly. Well, I just think that the a f 1058 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: C West, I wouldn't be shocked if in the end 1059 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: they're all kind of same type records and you get 1060 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: one playoff team and maybe save that for the It 1061 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: could be one because it's it's I'm not saying that 1062 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 1: they might be better than the records. Three of the 1063 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,360 Speaker 1: three of the four teams might be better than the record. 1064 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 1: Just pump the brakes on the blind optimism that there's 1065 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 1: four superpowers in that division. I think that's fair. I 1066 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,319 Speaker 1: think that's fair. The Raiders look better on paper, but 1067 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 1: are really You're right, one of those teams we'll probably 1068 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 1: take a face plant and be totally disappointing. It's a 1069 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 1: little hard to predict because they no never the Chargers. 1070 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: That's a whole other pressing the charge. This is the 1071 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: year that they nothing could potentially go wrong for the 1072 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 1: Chargers every year since two I don't think so. I mean, 1073 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: but listen, so you're right, somebody will definitely start nap it. 1074 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,840 Speaker 1: Who's the most likely team. It's probably the Raiders or 1075 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: war One of the teams loses their quarterback and then 1076 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, there's some unknown to me, it's the 1077 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 1: Raiders because because the quarterback is Yeah, I like Derek Carr, 1078 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 1: but I trust the other three better. M Daniels can 1079 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: be gonna say, you're Russell Wilson. Slander can extend to 1080 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 1: this conversation, Greg if you want them. And I'm trying 1081 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 1: not to give out too many takes, alright, back up on, 1082 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,800 Speaker 1: back off on good alright, that one does make sense 1083 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,839 Speaker 1: to me. My last one Residents. I struggled with this 1084 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 1: one because it's like I was trying to figure out 1085 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: what is the consensus right now? I don't know, but 1086 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,879 Speaker 1: you know what is the consensus when you put some 1087 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: cold hard numbers two things, and that's fantasy football. So 1088 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm putting on my fantasy football hat and looking at 1089 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 1: all these guys who are doing the best ball leagues 1090 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: in the off season. They're already they're already picking leagues 1091 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: right now with big money at stake, and I'm looking 1092 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 1: at where players are getting drafted, and to me, that's 1093 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 1: as consensus as it gets. Like, I don't know if 1094 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: it's the COGNISENTI, but it's the fantasy heads out there. 1095 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: And I got a lot of takes, but I'm gonna 1096 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 1: start and I'll go through him quick. Derrick Henry is 1097 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 1: the is the second pick. In the draft. What Derrick 1098 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,480 Speaker 1: Henry's saying? What? What is happening here? They don't they 1099 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,080 Speaker 1: just Greg's what? Yeah, I mean they don't have any 1100 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. He we know about his usage over the years. 1101 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 1: He's turning seven. H Scott Pianowsky had this great threat 1102 00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: of like running backs who do well in fantasy when 1103 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: they seven, like, it goes bad pretty often. I'm not 1104 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: saying he's gone, but that doesn't say much about that community. 1105 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: Does he should be going from the top ten? I 1106 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 1: agree with that, okay? And then there were some other 1107 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 1: ones like Davante Adams still has a first round producers 1108 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: should call on him. Sure, I mean I don't want 1109 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: this to be coming to a speed. Every episode I 1110 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 1: say something negative about the Titans and then Graver like 1111 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: sends it out to all his Titans. He's like, check 1112 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: this out. Gregg Rosenthalf around the NFL podcast is yeah that? 1113 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: Um Marcus Mosher, who I respect on Twitter, tweeted four 1114 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: hours ago, there's no reason Henry should fall further than 1115 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 1: number three in your fantasy like that. Henry was on 1116 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 1: pace for yards and twenty touchdowns last season. Yeah, that's 1117 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: only about pace. When you broke your foot. That is true. 1118 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 1: That's the big concern. Will he wear down but over 1119 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: his last thirty and they're not gonna be leading games 1120 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: as much potentially maybe not, maybe not. BLUs mileek will 1121 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: is gonna be running the football a lot, that's true. 1122 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 1: Other guys that really stood out to me on this 1123 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 1: realm of being a little over over Davante Adams, Like 1124 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: why would his numbers go up in Las Vegas with 1125 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,080 Speaker 1: Derek Cartent whatever in way more competition and now he's 1126 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 1: like a top ten pick. Clyde Edward, Hilary, we're still 1127 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 1: doing this with Clyde Edwards get drafted super high. And 1128 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 1: then because because because fantasy guys draft on opportunity, even 1129 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 1: in May, and they see the opportunity. But it's like 1130 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 1: someone else will come on that team and take those carries, 1131 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 1: or someone already on the team will take this because 1132 00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 1: he's not that great. But I didn't want to be 1133 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 1: all negative. So two guys that really intrigued me that 1134 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: we're way too goow was Jalen Waddle still has like 1135 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: a late fourth round pick.
