Guys, you see 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: him here, but the listeners are about to find out. 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: He is an NFL media columnist, Miami resident newsroom, fashion icon, 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: potential member of the Luminati. He is Jeff Darlington the Luminati. 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: How come your enthusiasm you guys did not match the 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: opening enthusiasm there. That's true. I usually do get excited it. 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: But the best part about that was like the second 12 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: before it was not that enthusia before the show started, Like, 13 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, really are at the podcast? Yeah, you're saying 14 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: that we're not inherently authentic? Is that what you're going 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: for me? That is what I'm saying. Well, he's when 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: he says, what up boys, I feel like that is 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: such an inane question. It doesn't really deserve an answer. 18 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: So that's why I don't respond. And you answer the question, 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: by the way, Illuminati, yes or no, No, you're not 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: just sat down in Miami. Maybe things are going to 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: How about how about fashion icon of the news room? 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: You are that's like being that's like being the least 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: guilty criminal. That's very true. Um, Jeff Darlington is here. 24 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: We are very excited. Uh, Jeff, what is new with you? 25 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: What is going on in the off season. I'm sure 26 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: you're very busy man. You've come and come to California. 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: High level meetings going on right now. Yes, you know, 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: we just had the owners meetings in Orlando, which Greg 29 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Rosenthal was working the room like a magician. Did you 30 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: get a lot out of that? In Sussler to crack 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: me up? So, you know, a lot of a lot 32 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: of the times when you're in the field and like 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: you hear about guys like getting close to different people, 34 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: and then usually in the newsroom there's a little bit 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: of like resentment toward that, like, oh, he's just biased 36 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: because he's you know, r G three's boy, or he's 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: tight with this guy. Well, so he comes in there, 38 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: and you know I sensed that from him. Sometimes he 39 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: comes from yeah a little bit, you know, not really 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: not not in a bad way, but he comes in 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: there and I see him and he's like he met 42 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: all the guys from the Browns. He's like, man, I 43 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: am so sold on these guys. It's gonna be great. 44 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: All because they accepted him into his circle for like 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: a three minute conversation, and now he's you know, do 46 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: you think they're manipulating him? I think I think that 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: he's just getting a dose of the field. He did. 48 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: He did go speak with everyone during the NFL party. 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: What we're talking about, that's exactly what I'm talking about. 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: He became so excited about the future of the Browns. 51 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: I guarantee you a week before he was probably ripping them, 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: just crushing the Browns for everything that you're saying. Cessler 53 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: is flying high on borrowed wings right now. I think, well, 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: what I have signed Wesseling and Sessler to a team 55 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: each during the Super Bowl, and by the end of 56 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: the week they were both sold on that team. You 57 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: guys get a little bit upset with the people in 58 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: the field for being a little bit biased based on relationships, 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: and the second you guys get, you know, a little 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: dose of the I like, that's what it is we're creating. 61 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm creating tensions candidates at the Super Bow. I won't 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: even try to object to that. It's what happens. It's 63 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: a scary thing, and it takes it honestly takes a 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: long time before you can really get over that. Interesting. 65 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: Most guests come in here and they let us set 66 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: the tone. But I like that Jeff is coming straight 67 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: at it, so I'm gonna come right back at you. 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: I walked by a room you were in today and 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: I heard some some frightening sounds coming out of it. 70 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on, but it basically 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: sounded like you were having the most uncomfortable love making possible. 72 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: That if that if you define that in any way 73 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: as lovemaking to your wife, for we didn't explain this, 74 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: but what was going on here, Jeff, Well, this is 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: called vocal awareness. Greg's part of what brings me out 76 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: here to the Los Angeles area. And what is that? 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: The Great Arthur Joseph his UH as a a unique 78 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: way of teaching UH both on air talent really CEOs 79 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: across America. This is it's actually pretty impressive stuff, but 80 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: superficially it sounds ridiculous and in fact, like the first 81 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: few times I did it. And what Greg's referring to 82 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: are these different hut noises, vocals can sample. I mean, 83 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: I can't do it in the microphone, but he'll critique. Mean, 84 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm just getting an example. It's like, has that you 85 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: heard it? That's great. I heard some more sounds like 86 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: ha ha, yeah I heard that. That was not a 87 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: good example. It's not a good example of it, but 88 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: that that is essentially arresting my tongue and it's coming 89 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: from mine. It was so great. I had Dan walk 90 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: by just to go listen to. Is that like when 91 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: you like your roommates and with something some female and 92 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: you want to there's a scrunchy on the door, now scrunchy, um, 93 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: scrunch the scrunch on the door, always the scrunchy.

Maybe you 105 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: guys just have it already, right. I think my voice 106 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: is so soothing and meliflus that they doesn't need anyway. 107 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: Just walked through the newsroom and say that man needs 108 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: some help. And they walked right past your desk saying helpless. 109 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, busy man, he's got a high powered 110 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: lunch to go.

Said that I don't think I 116 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: don't think those are the words, but I got the job. 117 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: So that's the big boss. So before you go to 118 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: that punch where I hope does away, he started to 119 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: he is on top of it. Oh yeah, oh yes, 120 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: let us go through the news because Jeff Darlington is 121 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: plugged in. He is one of the insiders really of 122 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: the NFL media team. We're gonna go through some news 123 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: and then Jeff's gonna get out of here. We're gonna 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: do some go through some free agents that are still 125 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: out there, veteran big names, talk a little bit more. 126 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: But why don't we start there the gold standard behind 127 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: the glass. Where are you, buddy? Let's do some news, alright. 128 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: The big news de Sean Jackson and the redskin strike 129 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: a three year, twenty four million dollar deal. Uh. The 130 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: contract includes sixteen million guaranteed. According to NFL media insider 131 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, Jeff Darlington, I ask you, uh, this wasn't 132 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: a shocking move the scene that seemed to be coming 133 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: to play. Was this a smart move by the Redskins 134 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: in your mind? We'll see I like obviously, I like 135 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: it from I'll tell you exactly. Uh, I'll name drop it. 136 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: For a moment here with Robert Griffin, the third was 137 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: discussing this situation, saying to him, look, it seems like 138 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: a really good weapon. The question is, I don't know 139 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the guy personally, you know, what do you think about 140 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: that aspect? And Robert met Deshaun and got great vibes 141 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: from him, and you know, it's off to a great start. 142 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: And and from a weapon standpoint, that's great. From a 143 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: chemistry standpoint, it seems to exist. The question, of course, uh, 144 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: will be whether or not they can co exist when 145 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: things aren't. Jackson had his introductor introductory conference call on Wednesday, 146 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: and he said that r G three reaching out to 147 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: him immediately after he became a free agent and then 148 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: staying in contact was a big reason why he went there. 149 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he said that in the conference call, but 150 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: that sounds to me like this guy r G three 151 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: played a big role. He did. And Uh, I think 152 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: it's important too to maybe distinguish the fact that I 153 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: think when at this point, after what we went through 154 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: with with Griffin last year in the whole Mike Shanahan 155 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: situation and Kyle Shanahan that anytime you suggest that Griffin 156 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: had a role in an acquisition, it immediately comes with 157 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: what you know, who's running the show there. But I 158 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: do get the sense from people I've spoken to within 159 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: the organization and and and Griffin himself that it's not 160 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: a it's it's it's not a bad situation. It's not 161 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: a situation where he's overstepping his bounds, but did instead 162 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: make it known that he would love to see de 163 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson on the team. Uh. And I think that 164 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: that courtship certainly helped give Jackson the conviction to to 165 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: make the move. But still comes down to money. I 166 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: know I was gonna yeah, let's get down to it. 167 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Of course, the quarterback is important. But you know the 168 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: iss You tell us about this it in, but now 169 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: the mad scientists about to chime in, tell us about 170 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: the the The upside is the ceiling off for this 171 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: offense with all these all these guys they have in 172 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,479 Speaker 1: place now for a free agency. I made two bold statements. 173 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: Third will win comeback Player of the Year award, Yeah, 174 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: like that. The other one that the Eagles have a 175 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: stranglehold on the NFC East. One of those statements is 176 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: no longer true. The Eagles don't have a stranglehold anymore. 177 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: They lost their best part of their aerial attack and 178 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: the Redskins got him. So now the Redskins have two 179 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: of the fastest wide receivers in the NFL, an elite 180 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: move tight end in Jordan Read, a good slot receiver, 181 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: and Andre Roberts, fastest quarterback in the NFL. Alfred Morris, 182 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: a guy that till could use a nice right tackle, 183 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: but they could use the rest of the offensive line. 184 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: Maybe they need a few pieces on defense, at least 185 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: a few pieces. But this this team looks pretty frisky, 186 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: don't they. Here's my question, though, is that I understand 187 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles the brain trust got together. They had to 188 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: have thought, Okay, if we were released this, what's the 189 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: worst case scenario? He signs with the div as your rival, 190 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: So this couldnot have come to like as a shock 191 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: to them that this type of scenario could have played out. 192 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: But still, but that doesn't make it good necessarily, like 193 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: the right answer, right, But to me, it makes the 194 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: move that was already a little shaky to start with, 195 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: now it really seems bad. But they would have had 196 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: to been prepared for this as a possibility. I guess right. 197 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't really understand it. I get that de Sean 198 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: Jackson is can be a headache, But I also subscribe 199 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: to the theory that there are so few it's it 200 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: kind of goes along with that Billichick theory there's so 201 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: few big men when you talk about nose tackles, walking 202 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: the earth, the whole planet theory that Billichick has. There 203 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: are so few men of that that have that type 204 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: of gift, that type of speed, that type of of 205 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: presence on the field that sometimes you have to manage 206 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: those guys. And I'm not going to get into the 207 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: NJ dot com about the Gang Ties thing. Maybe the 208 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: Eagles do have more information on that, uh than than 209 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: we know. But if this is strictly from a locker 210 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: room standpoint, I think you've got to manage a guy 211 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: like that, especially look, Chip Kelly, these athletic guys, I 212 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: mean you gotta. You just you have to somehow make 213 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: sure that you get them in the locker room and 214 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: you you just figure out how to make them fit 215 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: your system rather than going out and just trying to 216 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: find guys that already do. And he probably couldn't have 217 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: done it a year ago because Chip Kelly wouldn't have 218 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: the history and the AMMO to say, basically, look at 219 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: my offense. It just turned Riley Cooper into a good 220 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: starting wide receiver. It just turned Nick Foles into a 221 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl or whatever you wanna call it. My offense 222 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: is more important, Jackson. I think the truth is somewhere 223 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: in between. I mean, obviously his offense is great. But 224 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: the Sean Jackson was a very top three receiver right 225 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: statistically speaking, I mean I wouldn't put him that high 226 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: in general in the NFL, but he's a huge I 227 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: mean he's not Calvin Johnson or des Brian, but he 228 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: is a he's a huge weapon. He was before and after. 229 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: Having him on the field enabled Riley Cooper to face 230 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: single coverage all that time. Look, but the most important 231 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: part about this one as it pertains to the Redskins, 232 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: is going to be the chemistry of this team. On paper, 233 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: they look great right now. Statistically when you talk about 234 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Pierre Garson, I mean, if you had said two years 235 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: ago that they're gonna have Pierre Garson, Robert Griffin the Third, 236 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Alfred Morris, and DeShawn Jackson on the same field at 237 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: the same time, there's no way you could convince anybody 238 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: that that was going to be the case. And I 239 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: like Roberts too, And by the way, Robert Griffin the 240 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: Third really lobbied for Roberts to really like the idea 241 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: of Andre Roberts. So right now, the chemistry exists, but 242 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: it's it's about more than just on paper. This this 243 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: has to has to mesh it has to it has 244 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: to come together j Gruden. I mean, we've seen this 245 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: before in Washington. Things look good in March and April, 246 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: and if if they don't go well this year, it's 247 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of criticism reigning down on r 248 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: G three and Gruden and Gruden in Cincinnati. Let's face 249 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: it was not a guy you thought, well, there's a 250 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: creative but but I think that Gruden is the type 251 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: of guy that, in some weird way, we'll be able 252 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: to manage this roster a little bit almost from the 253 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: standpoint that he's got a little bit of a laid 254 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: back demeanor. He's got he's got this swagger, the Gruden 255 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: family swagger, but he also doesn't have that uh that 256 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: very I don't know, he doesn't. He doesn't seem to abrasive, 257 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: doesn't just have to put his claws into something. I 258 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: get the sense that he's got a little bit more 259 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: of the Pete Carroll vibe, which is going to be 260 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: really important when you consider all of those personalities in 261 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: one locker room. Will be interesting to see how it 262 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: turns out. It would be great if they have the 263 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: number two pick overall. Also, that would have just to 264 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: if they had the number two pick, they couldn't have 265 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: signed you town de Shan Jackson or would they have 266 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: had Robertin We're going down like a butterfly effect. We're 267 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: just tumbling through. Well. You know what it's crazy is 268 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: that we did an instant debate today on the website 269 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: and the question was who's going to have a better year? 270 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Nick Foles or r G three? And that would have 271 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: just been in an insane question to ask a year ago. 272 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: First of all, most people answered falls really, can you 273 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: just imagine Hard two was coming off Rookie of the 274 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: Year over and your lack over Russell Wilson. Now he's 275 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: got all these guys. I picked r G three because 276 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: I want that to be right, because I want to 277 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: lead where this team is fun. The third is going 278 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: to have a bounce back, Yere. I completely agree with 279 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: your assessment. I mean, and I don't. I'm not saying 280 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: that I believe that Griffin will last fifteen years in 281 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: the league and be a perennial pro bowler. I don't know. 282 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm not. It's just there's too much to be told. 283 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: But I do believe that the person we saw his 284 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: rookie year is far more the player than we saw 285 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: last year. That that's the that's the guy that I 286 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: think will be the player that we see that just 287 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: because your buddies with him, I'm not buddies and the 288 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: person that's what I was, the person we saw his 289 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: rookie year. There's only a handful of people in the 290 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: NFL that can do that right right, and Nick Foles 291 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: is not one of them. But Nick Foles looked pretty 292 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: good too. It's just two different, different players too. I 293 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: want to move on to another big Pennsylvania wide receiver signing. Okay, 294 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh's Heelers announced Wednesday they have signed fifty year 295 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: wide out Darius Heyward Bay to a one year deal. 296 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: D HB obviously one and done with the Cults last year. 297 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: The dynasty is right back. It didn't work out in 298 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: Indy as the stone Hands came back to haunt him 299 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: once again. Now he gets another elite quarterback. But I 300 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: don't even know where does he even factor in? Is 301 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: he guaranteed a roster spot? What kind of players? D HB? 302 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: What kind of future does he have? He was benched 303 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: late in the year for Levon Brazil and Derek Rogers 304 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: and sent to special teams in India. I don't think 305 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: he's guaranteed anything in Pittsburgh and look, Andrew luck Man. 306 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: If he's the kind of guy who made those players better, 307 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly believe that he made the guys around and better, 308 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: which is that is what you look for in these quarterbacks. 309 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger is capable of doing it, though in a 310 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: similar vein because they both get out they make things 311 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: happen when the play is seemingly dead. But if if, 312 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: if DHB couldn't do it with the Colts, I don't 313 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: know why it's going to be different. But he's got 314 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: to make them a lot better because after Antonio Brown 315 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: is one of the best receivers in the league, it's 316 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: Lancemore and Hayward bay As the next two guys, right, 317 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: sweet and don't sleep, let's see him do something. But yeah, 318 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're gonna take a wide receiver high 319 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: in this draft. You have to assume, right. The Beat 320 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: writers have been saying Mike Evans and Kelvin Benjamin are 321 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: two prime candidates. They're they're looking at how do you 322 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: pronounce his name? Dark HEAs Denard? Yeah, and the guy 323 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: from Oklahoma State cornerback, and those four guys are the 324 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: guys are looking at according to the beat, right, they 325 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do. Yeah, nine drops 326 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: last year for d HB before that's terrible. Let's keep 327 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: rolling with um underperforming UH wide receivers. Yes, Kenny Kenny 328 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: Britt has found a new home. UH Ian Rappaport reported 329 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: Monday that the wide receiver has agreed to a one year, 330 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: one point four million dollar deal with the St. Louis Rams. 331 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: Britt obviously got off to a nice start in his 332 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: career in Tennessee despite you know, some personal off the 333 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: field struggles, but now knee issues have have taken to 334 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: the forefront, and it's really hard to say what he is. 335 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: That's said, that's potentially a steel if he gets his 336 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: stuff together and he proved himself healthy. Right, potentially called 337 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: them the worst player in the NFL last year when 338 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: at the end of September after three weeks he was 339 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: the worst player I saw on tape in the NFL, 340 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: and he got worse, he dropped past his committed How 341 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: much how much was that a product of everything that 342 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: was going on there though? I mean, do you do 343 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: you think that that that's the guy. I think that 344 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: played a lot into it. But even the year before, 345 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: coming off of surgeries to both knees, he couldn't separate 346 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: from coverage. I agree. I mean, look, I'm just throwing 347 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: that out there. I tend to agree. I don't. I 348 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: don't see this one as being I mean, I think 349 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: he still sees himself as like a number one receiver. Right. 350 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: He speaks about himself in the third person on Twitter, 351 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: so he definitely that's a sign you think very highly 352 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: of yourself. Oh wait on Twitter? On Twitter he speaks 353 00:18:53,640 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: does he like do the that that that's that level 354 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: is next level? He's still only twenty five years old. 355 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: There's nothing saying he can't bounce back. But I wouldn't. 356 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: I would guess that Hakim Nicks has a much better 357 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: chance of bouncing back than CANADITHA find like Steve Smith 358 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: back in the I don't know. They have a lot 359 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: of Yeah, they have a lot of guys who are okay. 360 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: They have given Chris Gives and Tavon Austin who should 361 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: be pretty good, and then they are in quick three 362 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: or four guys that are Bailey. What happens with that 363 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: team too, because everybody's with everyone there. Man, I'm friends 364 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: with all the people in Greg. You gotta hustle, not friends. 365 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: Let's come on, Sessler. I can't wait till he's like, 366 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: oh my god, it was assassinated on my own podcast. 367 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: He was like a kid in the candy shop. Oh 368 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: my god. You wouldn't believe the conversation. And just add 369 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: with the Browns organization. They talked to me. Jimmy Haslum 370 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: is the greatest, very earnest jump in Mark Greg. That 371 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: Mark is the intrepid reporter of a t on the 372 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: on the on the floor when when we're out there 373 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: to be careful to bias and not in the party 374 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: situation or whatever. If it's the not the team that 375 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: he roots for, he's the one that's angling in there 376 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: just asking the question. He know he's got that pitbull quality. 377 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: But the second that these guys gave him the time 378 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: of day, it was over. He was he mush, Well, 379 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: he's a fan. Yeah, he admits it. Yeah, alright, moving on. 380 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: I loved it, by the way, you know, I wish 381 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I was there. That wasn't even invited he was. He 382 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: was really actually fun to be around the owners meetings. 383 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: He was every time I saw him. He was really 384 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: I swear he was really fun to be around at 385 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: the owners meetings. That's why we call him the Sizzler. Yeah, 386 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: moving on, we have some more news. John Iszac the Glacier. 387 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: That's what we call him, the Glacier because everything moves 388 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: very slowly with John Isazac made some big moves. He's back, 389 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: he's hunting in the bargain the bargain alley, and he 390 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: signed Jacobe Ford wide receiver cornerback to Pitri Patterson, both 391 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: joining the team's filling voids on the rock there that 392 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about anymore. Right, guys, we've 393 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: reached the damaged wide receiver portion of the ship. And 394 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: it's incredible about Deshaan Jackson being among this group. I mean, 395 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: it's it is pretty wild. I don't mean to just 396 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: hijack your conversation about who we're talking about again, for 397 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: this wouldn't have made the show if it wasn't the Jets, 398 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: Dan the Jets fans. But but when you consider that 399 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson and even go back to like to to 400 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: Marcus Ware to Jared Allen, think about some of the 401 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: players that ended up available unexpectedly after the fact, after 402 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: free agency had be gone. I mean, it's wild and 403 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: and to to have a guy like DeShawn Jackson in 404 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: the same conversation as Kenny Britten. Right, he was the 405 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver of any of them. He didn't 406 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: get as much money as he didn't Philadelphia, but he 407 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: got more than Eric Decker one one million more guaranteed. 408 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: I like Ford, by the way, of all these three 409 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: random gambles that we've just mentioned that special teams too. 410 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean, he's still got the goods to be a 411 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: return man. Yeah, Liz Frank injury and then last year 412 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: started the season with a knee injury. But he's one 413 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: of the fastest players in the league when he saw 414 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: Florida too. By the way, and I have another group 415 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: of people. You're biased towards South Floridians. That's the best part. 416 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: You can find bias for everybody. The problem is, I'm 417 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: like an eternal optimist, you know, like I'm like, oh, 418 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Fire will be great, John Beck Hall of Famer, 419 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: Rex Grossman, that's my guy, John. I missed John Becks 420 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: so much. So does Mike Shanahan, Right, I remember Shanahan's 421 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: most crowning moment I staked my reputation on John Beck 422 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: or Rex Grossman on these two guys. The next year, 423 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: after saying that that was during the lockout, he said that, right, hey, 424 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: look guys, John Beck's got some real potential in this 425 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: league to see, and Rex and Rex don't even get 426 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: me started. And and since you and since you are 427 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: close to the Miami Dolphins, Jeff, I'm curious what you 428 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: think about to meet you, Patterson, I'm not just as 429 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: a Jet fan. I'm asking you a que uh No, 430 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, he was pretty effective. The injuries were the problem, though. 431 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: I think he'd still be with the Dolphins if he 432 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: if he wasn't so prone to because I mean, look, 433 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: that guy had what three am I thinking the right? Kid? 434 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: Like three picks in the first four interceptions with the 435 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: bad groin, and then the only played six games, right, 436 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: But so that that was clearly the problem. But I 437 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: mean he was a real surprise for the Dolphins earlier 438 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: in the season when you considered that you had Patterson 439 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: and Grimes really making some plays. So look, if they 440 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: could keep healthy, I'm shocky, do you kid? Does anybody care? 441 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: But they gave him essentially the same contract the Cardinals 442 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: gave Antonio Cromarty, and I would much rather have Cromarty 443 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: than Dmitri pa. Look if Dmitri Patterson can stay healthy 444 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: the way Brent Rhymes did this year after coming off 445 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: of an Achilles situation with the Falcons. Hey, maybe you're 446 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: gonna get something decent. All right, Jeff Darlington, do you 447 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: have to go?

How much are we 450 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna edit out? Zero seconds? There is no editing that 451 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: goes on all the Well, we have got the love 452 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: making conversation stand and you leave that in and then 453 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: you wait to see if there's an angry email that follows. 454 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: Would the angry email come from your wife's not listen?

So Champ Billy obviously, uh spent many 493 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: years with the Denver Broncos after starting his career in Washington. 494 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: Um obviously showed some tread and where on his tires 495 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: last year with the foot injury, then came back and 496 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: wasn't the same guy. We saw him get toasted during 497 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and now he's a free agent. Billy 498 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: visited with the Saints on Tuesday. We don't know if 499 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: that is going to lead to something yet, but um, 500 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: I guess do we assume that he will be in 501 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: the league next year? See a guy that has enough 502 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: left I do. I don't think we know what he 503 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: has left because last year was ravaged by a basically 504 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: a chronic foot injury that he couldn't get rid of 505 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: until the playoffs, and by then he wasn't in really 506 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: game ship. So I don't think we know what he has. 507 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans would be a perfect spot for him in 508 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: a defense, in a defensive coordinator that can creatively use 509 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: him and his intelligence, and he'll play a little cornerback, 510 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: a little safety. I think he still has a chance 511 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: to matter. I definitely think he'll get a job. I 512 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: like that Saints fit as you mentioned, and they don't 513 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: have behind Keenan Lewis, they don't have any proven cornerbacks, 514 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: and you could get I think he's one of those 515 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: guys or you will not see him signed with the 516 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders or a team like that. You know, being 517 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: up close with him during Super Bowl Week, Um, this 518 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: was a guy that wants the ring. He wants it badly. 519 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: The Saints to me, make a lot of sense as 520 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: a team where he could land, and they don't. They're 521 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: not they don't have a lot of depth in their secondary. 522 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: I could see him as a rare guy like Rod 523 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: Woodson or Charles Woodson or even Darryl Greene, who does 524 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: have a useful mid thirties. There aren't many in the secondary, 525 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: but just where they're out there, they're kind of a 526 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: coach on the field, and they're how upen out? All right? 527 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: What about Ed Reid? Obviously won a Super Bowl with 528 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens, went to the Texans, had the bad hip, 529 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: It didn't work out there. I went to the Jets, 530 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: had a few interceptions, but clearly wasn't Ed Reid anymore. 531 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: He is also on the street and we have heard 532 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: nothing about Ed Reid. This is one guy where I'd 533 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: be comfortable saying I think it's over for Red Reid. 534 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to get another job. 535 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Wouldn't stun me if you got 536 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: a job. But I think you're right. I think both 537 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: him and Champ Bailey are first ballot Hall of Famers. 538 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't think there's there shouldn't be much of a question, 539 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: and I think Reid will get in first because I 540 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: I agree I don't think he'll play this year. Well, 541 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: we've all heard that clock, We've all heard the Bill 542 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: Belichick clip calling him the best safety he's ever seen. 543 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: That's first five years ago he said that now right right, 544 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: he's not that guy. I mean even the Patriots don't 545 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: seem to worry. But I mean, that's first ballot Hall 546 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: of Fame when when Bill Belichick tells you you're the 547 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: best safety every Yeah, I think we all agree. He's 548 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: definitely that. I thought, Greg, you made a good point 549 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: in your post again if you want to see it 550 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: on the website. The headline big name NFL veterans still 551 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: looking for odd job. Ed Reid went from out of 552 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: football right now, it's really the a job job. It's 553 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: a bad headline. Ed Reid went from a press conference 554 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: last offseason where he was seated at a Dais with 555 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: Bob McNair, the Texans owner, next to him. That means 556 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: you're a big shot signing to now being on the 557 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: street and not getting a whiff of interest. It just 558 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: shows you that's how this league is. This is the 559 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: first time I've heard his name since the free agency began. Right. 560 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: I tried to look for any scrap of anything with Reid, 561 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't there. And it does show you this is 562 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: such a year to year league. I think he got 563 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: a helicopter at some point in that hole. There was 564 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: a helicopter involved, and if he took it or it 565 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: was an owner that took it to go see him, 566 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: it was something. It was just a helicop um. Also 567 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: another assante. Samuel's a guy that made close to five 568 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: million last year. Also, you haven't heard a lot about 569 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: him either. I would think he if he wants to 570 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: play in the NFL, should be able to find a job. 571 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: He was a starter last year, maybe not a great one, 572 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: but I would think bring him back to New England 573 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: for one year, one million. Let's do it for him. Now. 574 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: Who wouldn't like another assante Samuel Run. I think his 575 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: problem is I don't remember a week that's gone by 576 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: in the last two years where he's not been on 577 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: the injured list. That's a problem. All right, let's go 578 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: through some other names. We'll start at the quarterback position, 579 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: uh and we will start with Josh Freeman, one time 580 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: future star of the Bucks, now out of work. This 581 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: one is kind of weird to me because I would 582 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: have thought I would have guessed I would put almost 583 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: anything like seventeen different high octane sandwiches on the possibility 584 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: of Freeman quickly catching on with some team as a 585 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: backup in Brandon Weed and hanging out there. But instead 586 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: Weed and immediately signs with the Dallas Cowboys. And it's 587 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: Josh Freeman that can't find a job. And now maybe 588 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: he has to wait until after the draft and his 589 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: future is very much in doubt right now. Josh Freeman, 590 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: where is he going to be? It might not be anywhere. 591 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: That's crazy. I think when people look for backup quarterbacks. 592 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons why Tim Tebow is 593 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: not in the NFL. They want reliability and they don't 594 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: want to circus. And Josh Freeman now is stained, but 595 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: he's not he has a reputation. Now is a guy 596 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: who's not committed, doesn't have the work ethic and football 597 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: is not his first priority a malingerer. Malingerer implies a 598 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: guy like Jared Gaither or whether he had a reputation 599 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: of faking an injury to to not play football. We 600 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: don't think that is. I mean, Dan mentioned Brandon Weeden signed, 601 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: which is very surprising before Josh Freeman. How about Curtis Painter. 602 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Curtis Painters in the NFL. Luke McCown Charlie Whitehurst not 603 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: only signed, he got a great job for Jesus great 604 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: money Derrik Anderson and is a starting quarterback for O 605 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: t S at least in Carolina. I mean, give Freeman 606 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: a shot quick. Aside. By the way, we're going to 607 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: not having a job. This is crazy. He uh. He's 608 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: another example of why you should never use Pro Bowls 609 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: as an evaluation for things like the Hall of Fame. 610 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: Josh Freeman pro Bowl quarterback as a replacement. By the way, better, 611 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: is there a better marginal player pastor present with a 612 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: better nickname um than clipboard Jesus, that's a great nickname. 613 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: The beer Man was pretty marginal as a player. Do 614 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: you remember the beer Man? Michael Lewis? Michael Lewis the 615 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: Saints guy because he had once driven a beer truck. 616 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: Maybe this should be maybe this should be called the 617 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: he Hate Me All Stars. I smell a post and 618 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: I think you're the news cycle slowing down. I already 619 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: announced the Greg that I'll be doing a Eric Decker 620 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: and Jesse Jane Um reality show on the Post coming 621 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: up in the next couple of weeks. Jesse Jane the 622 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: adult film Store. I don't know what her name is. 623 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: She's married to Decker. They have a different they have 624 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: a stupid e show together. Maybe it's not Some Maids brilliant. 625 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: I haven't watched it yet, called like great Catch the 626 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: Eric Decker story. I don't even remember what we were 627 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: talking about anymore. Oh but yeah, he hate me might 628 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: be the best nickname for a bad player. But clipboard, Jesus. 629 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: It would be funny though, if you threw out that idea, 630 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: and then we also were like, well, who should write it? 631 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: Maybe let's give it to Wesley. He hates he was 632 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: self monickered, wasn't he? Yes? Yes, maybe that should be illegal. 633 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: That's like Kobe calling himself Mamba. We should do we 634 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: should do some type of like freaky Friday thing where 635 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: I write a post on the fifteen best interior lineman 636 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL and West something on Eric Decker and 637 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: Jesse Jane um More quarterbacks Kevin Cobb and Colt McCoy. 638 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: Greg you wrote in your piece you want to be 639 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: surprised if both of their careers are over West. Do 640 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: you agree that those guys are out of the league. 641 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: I'll be shocked if I ever see Kevin Cobb again 642 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: because of his concussion history quote McCoy, I would put 643 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: it fifty fifty. I think Greg and I have talked 644 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: about this before. We could both see him coaching at 645 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: Texas next year, some entry, entry level job, something like that. 646 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: And here are two guys we figure we'll have jobs, 647 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: but it just hasn't happened yet. Rex Grossman and Matt Flynn. 648 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: What what's more likely? Oh? Oh oh why from Culver City, California. 649 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: It's America's favorite game. Gold Center one, you know, sometimes 650 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: hold that thought one second. Sometimes when something happens during 651 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: a podcast and a perfect time for a drop, and 652 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: gold Center is working on another thing and he doesn't 653 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: have it ready. But for this, Gold Centers like, oh, 654 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: I got my voice, send him. It's going right up. 655 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: I like it West. What's more likely? No, wait, wait 656 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: no it what more likely? Matt Flynn resigns with the 657 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: Packers before anyone on this list signs with anyone else. 658 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: It would make sense, right what Why would the Packers 659 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: play with fire again after the nightmare of last season 660 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: with Rogers where they couldn't have anyone that could do 661 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: anything until they got Flynn back in the building. Frankly, 662 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm surprised he hasn't been signed yet, which makes me 663 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: think that they're overthinking the situation once again. Well, they 664 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: said they want to bring him back. Maybe they're just 665 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: waiting for the draft for some reason. So I'm gonna 666 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: say I'm taking the field. Party always takes the field. Partly, 667 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: it just there's a lot of names in the field. 668 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: We haven't gotten to model out for you on Arthur 669 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: Jones not too well, but Sydney Rice, Antonio Holmes, Kevin Williams. 670 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: We have a bunch of names. And then secondly, you know, 671 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of bored with life and I need 672 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: just a little more action to keep it spicy. Alright, 673 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: that's a real uh reveal, Right there, do what we 674 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: gotta do to get by. You know, I got you, 675 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: I got Yeah. If I were a GM, I would 676 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: sign Matt Flynn. Know that the Packers will get in 677 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: a bad way at some point and get a six 678 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: round pick out of it. But that's where I'll never 679 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: be higher. Is nob Nobody's gonna give up a draft 680 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: pick for Matt Flynn. But that's exactly um and Rex Grossman. 681 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: He will get a job. You think he's going to 682 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. I think get excited, sizzler. Um, all right, 683 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: I got what's more likely? How about that? All right? 684 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: What more likely? Sydney Rice, Santonio Holmes, and Miles Austin. 685 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: Of those players, who's more likely? So that's what's more 686 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: likely is the game. So it's messing it up a 687 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: little bit. But who's more likely to have anything close 688 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: to what you might call an impact season? We all 689 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: three might pick different guys on this. We've had this 690 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 1: debate down in the newsroom at least two or three 691 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,760 Speaker 1: times different forms. But yeah, I'm sticking with Miles Austin, 692 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: only one year removed from sixty six catches, nine d 693 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: sixty yards, five tds. It reminds me a little bit. 694 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: This is show in my age. When I first started 695 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: playing fantasy football in the mid to late nineties, two 696 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Curtis Conway were written off 697 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: because they have back to back years with hamstring injuries 698 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: where it ruined their seasons. They came back strong, they weren't. 699 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: They weren't sentenced to the rest of their career with 700 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: hamstring injuries. West West supports argument with twenty year old 701 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: fantasy advice. I like that they get Curtis Conway often 702 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: in our newsroom works for the network. Now you could 703 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: bring up this story to him, to him next time 704 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: I see him in the hallway. Why not just be like, 705 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: remember when everyone gave up on you in your fantasy 706 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: leagues and he'd be like, what are you talking about me? 707 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: Next time I see some fit man walking through the 708 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: news room. I'm not sure who could I tend to 709 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: agree with Wes on this. I don't think I can't 710 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: trust Antonio Holmes ever being motivated enough, and we don't 711 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: know if he's healthy enough to be a big time guy. 712 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: Sydney Rice. You know, whenever somebody goes to Switzerland have 713 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: stuff put into their body, I never think it's a 714 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: good sign. So that was before you're right, that's a 715 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: good point. And that was before he blew out his knee. 716 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Austin makes the most sense if 717 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 1: he lands in a place where he has a nice role. 718 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm taking Sydney Rice, and I hope that Seattle resigns 719 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: him because I think that would be a good spot 720 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: for him to make a nice impact. He got at 721 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: least six or seven more seasons of five and fifty 722 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,760 Speaker 1: yards and four t d s. He is the youngest. 723 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: He is the youngest one of this group. So I 724 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: like that, and it's crazy that none of them, other 725 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: than I guess homes in Austin like Ed Reid, but 726 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: they're not thirty five years old, have had no interest. 727 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: Rice has had some story written about him that Seahawks 728 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: Patriots showed a little interest. There were some teams that 729 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: sniffed around. We haven't heard anything about Miles, Austin or 730 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: homes Well. You know what, Listen to those receivers that 731 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: just we talked about, Jacoby Ford and Hayward Bay and 732 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: Britt they all got It speaks to what you were 733 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: saying about Josh Freeman West, which is I think these 734 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 1: guys get a little steak on them and then people 735 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of write them off prematurely. It's a fair point, 736 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: and sometimes NFL teams are all wrong, all thirty two 737 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: of them. Look at Laurent Robinson two years ago, nobody 738 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: wanted him. He's sitting there in September for the Cowboys 739 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: to take ten touchdowns yards he gets what twenty million 740 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: the next year? Uh, there are all kinds of guys 741 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: like that. Did you say your own point was a 742 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: fair point, which is awesome if you did. I don't 743 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: know that. Well, they basically pointed out your point, and 744 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: then you're like that I didn't even know. Uh. Look 745 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: at a guy like Mark Tellis. Bennett was available for 746 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: the Giants, got paid peanuts. Nobody wanted him coming out 747 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 1: of Cowboys. He has one decent year for the Giants. 748 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: Now everybody wants him. He was the same player. Sometimes 749 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,280 Speaker 1: teams get every every team in elite get a player wrong. True. 750 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: Moving on, speaking interior linemen, Uh, Davin Joseph who's a 751 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: two time pro bowler cut by the Bucks only thirty 752 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: years old, still in the street. Um, another guy Travell Wharton. 753 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: Are two guys, interior guys that are not employed right 754 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: now but have shown to be useful in the past, 755 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: even high end players, and now they don't have a job. 756 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: What about these guys? Travell Wharton reportedly now leaning towards retirement, 757 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: joining Jordan's gross, which means the Panther's offensive line is 758 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: in a world of her. Then there was another Panthers 759 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: offensive lineman that retired to write like a lower level one. 760 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: Jeff hand Gartner of the organization retired organization including front 761 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: office officials, groundskeepers, the guys that you know rip the 762 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: tickets up and scan the tickets. Among the not retired 763 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: Mike Shula still running that off and among that group 764 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, who will be going to a new team 765 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: in a couple of years. Oh wow, just sending daggers 766 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: to the Panthers. David from our newsroom is a resident 767 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: Charlotte fan, really has taken issue with you just dumping 768 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: all over and have no problem with the Panthers are 769 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: the people of Charlotte. It's the team's ways and just 770 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: mark my words. After they go six and ten or 771 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: seven and nine this year, you will start hearing whispers 772 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: about Cam Newton and him being unhappy and potentially wanting 773 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: to trade. And you're gonna have NFL media inside of 774 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport sitting in front of a bookcase saying Cam 775 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: Newton is unhappy in Carolina and is looking for a trade. 776 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: Like something like that's gonna happen suspiciously, like a very 777 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: accurate Sessler. That is I thought you're gonna say that 778 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: sounds like an accurate happens to the sessler. Bring it back, 779 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: very quick, bring it back, bring it back. It does 780 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: sound like an accurately, and I could see him in 781 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 1: front of the bookshelves definitely. Uh, here's another one, Jamichael Finley. 782 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: This thing seemed like it was gonna be a done deal. 783 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: He went to Seattle, I think on like the first 784 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: day of free agency, and it was just a matter 785 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: of the physical checking out. But I guess he's not 786 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: cleared yet from that spinal fusion surgery and that, you know, 787 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: put a pin in the plans, So he's still out there. 788 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: I he probably still gonna end up with the Seahawks 789 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: if he gets cleared, but as of right now, it's 790 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: not done. Correct about jare Michael Finley, Daniel hanss was 791 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: I you said before free agency? How do you how 792 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: do you guys have him ranked? That he's got a 793 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: neck injury? Four? He might never play again. I think 794 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: he is one of those has to wait until he's 795 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: healthy to sign. But as long as he's healthy by 796 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: training camp, who really cares. There's other guys out there 797 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: like that Anthony Spencer's This isn't a strained groin though, 798 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: Greg this was you know his can up was telling 799 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,839 Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk a month and a half ago. He's 800 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: gonna be cleared in two weeks and now he Seahawks 801 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: won't sign him because they can't clear him. They'll probably 802 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: sign him in a couple of months, although if they 803 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: were sniffing around at other options, that would be a 804 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,919 Speaker 1: bigger concern. True. Alright, let's go quick through the last 805 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: few of him. Anthony Spencer twice two time franchise player 806 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: for Dallas on the street after microfracture knee surgery. He 807 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,919 Speaker 1: gets a job once he proves he's healthy. Right, Yeah, 808 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 1: you would think so. Like Finlay, he's got to pass 809 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: the physical and maybe he'll sign in right before camp microfractures, 810 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,240 Speaker 1: no joke, right. Two tight ends here of note, Owen Daniels, 811 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: a longtime Texans uh pass catching tight end. Dustin Keller 812 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: former Dolphin and Jet suffer that awful knee injury last preseason, 813 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: both out there. I think Keller as long as he 814 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: proves that he's back to his old self, but I 815 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: don't know if that's gonna happen, that he's ever going 816 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: to be back to his old self. The Ravens, John 817 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: Harbaugh said they're interested, you know, and Daniels at the 818 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: owners meeting, and then when we were getting up from 819 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: the end of the session at the owners meeting. Actually 820 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: heard him pull a reporter who knows Owen Daniels well 821 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: to the side and was like, so, does Owen have 822 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 1: anything left? Which is it's funny to just think that 823 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: the head coach, they'll get information wherever it's from, that 824 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: they'll pour the reporter aside and be like, what do 825 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: you think about this Daniels fellow? My guess is that's 826 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: a matter of money. He's also been connected to the Packers, 827 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: so I think teams have been doing their homework on 828 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: him and maybe have contacted him, but maybe they haven't 829 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: settled on Maybe he thinks he's worth more than they do. Alright. 830 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: And finally three, uh, what I like to call Jag 831 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: running backs just another guy Philip Felix Jones, Ronnie Brown. 832 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 1: And this is unfair to Willis mcgay. He has had 833 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: some nice years former first round picks. Uh don't have jobs? 834 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 1: Are all three of these guys done in the NFL? 835 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: Willis mcgay, he never touches a football again on on 836 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: an NFL field, I was gonna say, where is he going? 837 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: Ronnie Brown probably should never play another down in the NFL. 838 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: A good, good role player, but just the speed is 839 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: no longer there, and I think Felix Jones has been 840 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: kind of a detriment the last couple of years. I 841 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 1: take offense to Colleen. Ronnie Brown a jag. First of all, 842 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: he had some very nice years in Miami. You're just 843 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: thinking that one Patriot game in the Wildcat whatever. Second 844 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 1: of all, you're just saying he doesn't have the speed anymore, Westling. 845 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: Can I remind you of a little fifty eight yard 846 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: scamper through the second area of the Bengals during the playoffs? 847 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: That was pretty exciting. Ronnie Brown gets a big playoff touchdown, 848 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 1: probably got cut from behind by Demato Pico. No, he 849 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: got into the end. Believe Ronnie Brown just got you 850 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: out of your chair. Greg. That was interesting. Maybe he doesn't, 851 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: but I used to be, and I think he's had 852 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: a great career, but I think he's probably hung on 853 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: a little too long. All right, gentlemen, That is it 854 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: for Wednesday's edition to the Around the League Podcast. We 855 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: will be back on Friday. We have a special guest 856 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: lined up.

Okay, I just sort of like to stockpile them. 865 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: I have the fort knox of money tags in my computer. 866 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: And yeah, I know it's it's the more the merriers. 867 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: So what's the hashtag? It's hashtag money tags. I thought 868 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: it was money intros. No money alright, excuse me, I'm 869 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: so hashtag money tags. You know what's weird is I 870 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,439 Speaker 1: started following that hashtag when this came up, and there 871 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: were a decent amount of hashtag money tags that were 872 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: not from around. That's part of the people did a 873 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: great job. By the way, hopefully if you've been list 874 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, you've heard your money tag. 875 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 1: Pretty much every tag that we've used in the last 876 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: couple of weeks have been from our listeners. So do 877 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: we want to explain what the money tag is for 878 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: new listeners? Yeah, basically, yeah, it sounds like this. The 879 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: around the League podcast is the cure for locker room cancer, 880 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:29,760 Speaker 1: or like this, the Around the League podcast could beat 881 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: Dante Whitner and what And to your point, Greg, you 882 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: had said that sometimes we go through the hashtag and 883 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: you see strange things. I remember one a couple of 884 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: weeks ago. It was kind of like Latrelle ran my 885 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: car into a ditch hashtag money tag? What does that 886 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 1: even mean? Who knows? The was like? It had nothing 887 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: to do with our show. Is just someone used the 888 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: money tag as a hashtag related to some life crisis 889 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,240 Speaker 1: to solve the mystery that I've been wanting to crack. 890 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: What What's Latrelle s pretty well with doring with his life. 891 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: These things let's do.
