1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast survived the swift E takeover

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: from the Chris Westling podcast studio.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: It's Around the NFL. I am Dan Hans's heroes here.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler. Yes, she did six shows and

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: seven nights here at Sofi Stadium, and now it is over.

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: No more cars in the parking lot, no more maniacal fans,

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: no more screaming.

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: It's well, I mean we were here typically in the

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 3: morning to early afternoon hours. I didn't even notice it.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: I mean I drive in and out. Did you what did?

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 3: Was there something happening?

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: Some extra grinding from daddy.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: Daddy was at the Hard Knocks stuff on Tuesday, which

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: took us right into another Swifty explosion.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: Right, you are the daddy in this case, Well.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Obviously are daddy. I could if you want. We got

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: that conversation.

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: I don't know you are young.

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm already a daddy to two sons. I don't the

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: whole dynamic would make me. I'm not looking for you

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: to be my father, Greg request.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: No, I'm not either.

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: It's just confusing because technically we are all father right,

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: two children?

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: Well, yes, you know, yes, true? You know one other

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: note that I didn't mention about that concert. The second

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: song is the song that's a huge fan favorite called

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: Cruel Summer. And now I know what it was like

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: to see the Beatles. Seventy five thousand people in that

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: building every and many women and girls, as I told

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: you yesterday, screaming at the top of their lungs, either

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: the lyrics of the song or just screaming out of

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: control screaming.

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: Couldn't hear Taylor Swift.

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I could see her, you could hear the bass stumping,

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: but you actually couldn't hear her because the crowd was

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: going that ballistic.

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw lots of video of like girls crazy,

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: breaking down, crying like literally melty, it's nuts to tears.

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: You should have tried to buy them down. You're like

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: trying to listen.

42
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: By Doddie's trying to enjoy the show.

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: That's weird too.

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: You know who I saw in the huddle yesterday. It's

45
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: kind of reminded me of old NFL times where you

46
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: just see random athletes in the huddle. Chris Johnson, the

47
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 4: Great Titans Russia, and I told him he was once

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 4: on the because he was walking around with their friend

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: David Singer, and we were talking and told me he

50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: was once on the cover of a magazine I produced,

51
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: the old fantasy magazine. And it reminded me the roador World.

52
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 4: Now you told him that I did.

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: What was his react? Was it a Taylor Swift typer?

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: We were talking fantasy just how like how crazy people were.

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: I mean, he was like a superstar in the NFL. Yeah,

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: that's a wild thing. Like, hey, do you know you

57
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: were on the cover of a magazine once?

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: I was just like, it reminded me, how you know

59
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: we're here in the Chris Westling podcast studio that Chris

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: Wesseling at least partly made his name on Roadorworld dot com.

61
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: I would say a solid brick in the foundation of

62
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: Roadorworld dot Com was on Chris Wesseling's Chris Johnson take

63
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: that he that. I think it was his rookie and

64
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: it reminded me with this training camp coming up, it

65
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: was his rookie training camp that Chris planted a flag

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: as hard as you could possibly plant a flag that

67
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: not only will Chris Johnson like be a factor, but

68
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 4: he will win you your fantasy league and as he's gonna

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: be like one of the fantasy stories and he couldn't

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: have been more aggressive about it. And it's like putting

71
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: him like aggressively atop the rankings and everyone's like, okay, wow,

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: Chris weistle, and then it came so true. I feel

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 4: like even for years he was living off the fumes

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: of his Great.

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: Christmas and his personal website had some incredible Chris Johnson

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: write ups, and I think in general, like around this

77
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: time when the game, these preseason games would get started

78
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: and you could argue to their relative meaninglessness compared to

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: what comes next, but he would always have one or

80
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: two running backs, especially at that position, that say, I'm

81
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: watching them, I see how fit they are, they look

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: different than ever before. They're going to explode. And then

83
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: you're in week three, week four, and he's completely right.

84
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: Like you with Toby Gerhart a few years back.

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: Well that was like, you know, to making the lead

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: articles on Toby Gearhart didn't push him over the finish line.

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Two thousand and nine Chris Johnson two thousand and six yards,

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: fourteen touchdowns, rushing sixteen total, averaging one hundred and twenty

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: five yards per game. He won Offensive Player of the Year.

90
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: For twenty five hundred yards from scrimmage is that the

91
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: most Ever.

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: It's if it's not the most, it's it's it's close,

93
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: I you know, And it's cautionary tale of course, because

94
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: he had let's see fifty catch it. Yeah, yeah, four

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: hundred touches, had one Pro Bowl the next year, and

96
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: then was never a Pro bowler again or an All Pro.

97
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: It is by the way that I mean, that's kind

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: of an underrated record as record's going, gaining the most

99
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: amount of yards of anyone in the history of the

100
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: sports record.

101
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Marshall Fulk, Marshall Fox, Christian McCaffrey's number three.

102
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, and I early in our tenure, Mark he

103
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: was kind of like the first running back to fail

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: in his attempt to get paid. Remember that totally ponderous

105
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: holdout that became a major storyline throughout the twenty eleven

106
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: off season or twenty ten offseason. Going into twenty eleven.

107
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: He wanted quarterback money. Think about that and how much

108
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: the league has changed. He wanted quarterback superstar money coming

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: two years off his I mean, he was their quarterback

110
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: for half right, coming off his two thousand yard season,

111
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: and he had to settle for a nice deal, but

112
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: nowhere near quarterback money.

113
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: Now these guys are just trying to get like safety money.

114
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gone south. It's going in the wrong direction.

115
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: Six straight years of fourteen hundred yards from scrimmage. I mean,

116
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: I guess he's not even getting considered at all for

117
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame stuff.

118
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: But that's pretty good. That's better than he peaked early.

119
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be the only thing anyway. Good

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: Chris Johnson talk. What did he say when you said

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: you were on a magazine?

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way I put it, either way I put it.

123
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 4: I was just like, I don't even know how we

124
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: were talking for a few minutes, Like it was taken

125
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 4: a while for that sandwich to come to the point

126
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: where I was like, I think we all were ready

127
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: to move on in our lives. But he was very cool.

128
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: We were having good talk.

129
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't remember, do you think, Mark, do you think

130
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: he remembers the conversation ed with Greg.

131
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: I think it's probably you know, if he sort of

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: scans this entire trip to the West Coast, it's got

133
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: to be in the top two or three things that

134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: occurred to him and.

135
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: A bunch of squares at that NFL network. That little

136
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 4: guy that was pretty cool in the lunch room that

137
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: one dude.

138
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's it. That's uh, the Chris Johnson tail.

139
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: We have some fun stuff to get to. We have

140
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: Eric Edholm coming up to talk power rankings.

141
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: How about that.

142
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second. We also have

143
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: football games kind of starting this weekend, starting tonight in

144
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: fact Thursday, a couple of games tonight and then games

145
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: through Sunday, the first full week of preseason action, and

146
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: we're going to kind of spin through the schedule of

147
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: games and share some things that we're looking forward to.

148
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: Some of us are looking forward to.

149
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we don't have We don't have the same

150
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: take on the preseason. And I'm surprised that I'm the

151
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: guy not even the most cynical preseason observe in this room.

152
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: Like if I could like the bit you did where

153
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: you just got up and left the room during our

154
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: quarterback conversation, it's.

155
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 4: Not a bit, then why are we doing this segment?

156
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: Because I am not a monster, and I know how

157
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: much you guys.

158
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: I think you might have suggested it.

159
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: No, I was like, yeah, yesterday it was like you did,

160
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: should we do so?

161
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: Hit the preseason is like part of the show tomorrow

162
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: and everybody's like, yeah, good. And then we got on

163
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: the phone and I was like, Mark's like, I have

164
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: seven hundred takes to share it for the preseason.

165
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: I would argue this because I think normally, I think

166
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: the preseason starts and you're like, oh, wait a minute,

167
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: this is terrible.

168
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: But and it is right.

169
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: But this time around, I think that you got a

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: lot of rookie heat at wide receiver, at quarterback, and

171
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: it's a little bit different. You got some teams. Save

172
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: it a little bit different.

173
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Save it.

174
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: That's all. Save it. Not only do we have that

175
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: this is our product, pedal. I appreciate the product. I

176
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: actually have a gift.

177
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.

178
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: It's a little out of character for you to fall

179
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: the line with the corporate machine, and I like it.

180
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: We need more of it.

181
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: This is not on I think if you go and

182
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: look at every the hours leading up to the first

183
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: week of preseason, I'm jazzed up. But I do admit

184
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: that about ten minutes into you know, Patriots Texans at

185
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: four ten pm on the West Coast and be like,

186
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: this is not a real product.

187
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: That's what kills me getry. I've done it before. I

188
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: try to get in excited about the preseason, right, and

189
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: trust me what we're going to talk about. And that's

190
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: why I wasn't a jerk about it yesterday. I was

191
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: even like, yeah, let's do it. I like the idea

192
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: of the stories and who's gonna win this job and

193
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: that job. But then the games start and I'm like,

194
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: oh boy, I shouldn't say too much. Actually, all right,

195
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: we'll be back monday. Yes that the games are still

196
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: better than nothing.

197
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: I mean, are our boss? Are they?

198
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: Who was also in the huddle yesterday, Roger Goodell was

199
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 4: there to not get a chance to speak with him,

200
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: tell him that he's been on a magazine and he

201
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: was walking around talking to some interns.

202
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: So I had I had a near Goodell running. But

203
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: as Patrick Claibone was coming up the stairs from our yes,

204
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: the book the basement level makeup area, and he said

205
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: Goodell's down there, and so I had a like a

206
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: hobo's paper bag of clothing that you know now I.

207
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: Noticed that bag, well yesterday it looked a little you.

208
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: Put it in the bag. And then it was said like,

209
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: so I'm walking down the corridor, there's a gaggle of

210
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: like high high looking officials, and I was not allowed

211
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: into the men's locker room because apparently Goodell was in

212
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: there changing. So I was told by someone that I'm

213
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: not going to say it was, was like, please come

214
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: back later, not for you right now, of course. So

215
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: my sad little paper bag, and I turned around.

216
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: Picturing you with like the the hobo stick, with the bandana,

217
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: with the stuff far from it walking down the highway.

218
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: Like if I had not had the bag, they would

219
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: have let me in the room.

220
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: I brought him up and we didn't get a chance

221
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: to talk. Unfortunately. I've actually never really spoken with Roger

222
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: Goodell in my life.

223
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: So we have multiple comers, but good ones good one. Yeah.

224
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 4: Really, but he tried. He tried to squash another week

225
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: out of the preseason.

226
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: I remember.

227
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 4: I mean he was moving hard and he got so

228
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: much pushback, so I mean he kind of shared your view.

229
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: He was trying to get it down there.

230
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Do we have a preseason promo? Read later?

231
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 3: We do?

232
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: Okay, I want the Shadowy League figures to know that

233
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: I'm going all the way in. I'm going hard on

234
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: that read.

235
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Because I like it.

236
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: Here, right before we get to Eric at Home, let's

237
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: hit one bit of news. Not a bunch going on,

238
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: considering we just did a show yesterday. But you know,

239
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: the defending world champion Chiefs are a team that need

240
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: Chris Jones in the building, and he's not because Chris

241
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: Jones is a holdout. He wants to be paid at

242
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: the highest levels in terms of defenders in the NFL. However,

243
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: Red Veach, who you mocked famously a few years back,

244
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: but then walk that back and apologize.

245
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: And the whole thing was I just liked I just

246
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: made a funny voice and pretended.

247
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: To be Yeah, it was a little.

248
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 4: Less about him personally, and just you know, he just

249
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: got caught in the comedy cross fire.

250
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes when it's pure comic genius, like I guess, sometimes

251
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: you just catch.

252
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: Astray and you know, it's all in the game, no surrender.

253
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: It's all the game.

254
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: GM Red Beach told The Athletic on Wednesday, do not

255
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: expect Chris Jones to be sent out of town. They

256
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: have no intention Here's the quote. We have no intentions

257
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: of trading Chris since the start of the offseason. Chris

258
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: has been right at the top of our priorities. Every year,

259
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: it's a different scenario and a different dynamic. One of

260
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: the dynamics this year was the fact that some of

261
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: the players in that position group didn't get done until

262
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: late so there was a natural holding pattern. He's entering

263
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: the final year, Chris Jones, of his four year, eighty

264
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: million dollar contract. He wants a big time extension.

265
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: The highest paid.

266
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Player, by the way, at his position is Aaron Donald,

267
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: who got three for ninety five last summer. Quentin Williams

268
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: most recently got the bag four for ninety six. So

269
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: you could figure out again different angle than Greg. You've

270
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: been on the agents recently. I'm more like, why we

271
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: it's all just all the contracts now are built out. Yeah,

272
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: so you're if you're the if you're Chris Jones, be like,

273
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: excuse me, management, I'm good. And I go back to

274
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: the chiefs and I say, Quinn Williams four for ninety six,

275
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: I would like four.

276
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: For one oh four.

277
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: That's all you do. A total snooze fest of a situation,

278
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: because of course he's gonna get paid.

279
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: And he keep the commission right, it's a bonkers financial strategy.

280
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna get paid. We're just just we'll just check

281
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: back in a fortnite here. I believe. I believe so.

282
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 4: I think I want to just give a round of

283
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: a pause to us the football coknas SENTI ah that

284
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: how little attention this has gotten. Nick Bosa is a holdout,

285
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: Chris Jones is a holdout. These are two of the

286
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: best players in the league that certainly would be the

287
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 4: best two free agents in the league next year if

288
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: they were free, if they got to free agency, and

289
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: yet there's almost been no attention. I mean, back in

290
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: the day we were writing daily stories about Javon Walker.

291
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: I don't know why the Javon Walker hold out is

292
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: the one that really scarred me. It's probably because they

293
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: don't play quarterback, and people ultimately just don't care about

294
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: non quarterbacks. But like Nick Bosa, Chris Jones, and then

295
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: I would throw Josh Jake in there, holding out has

296
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 4: gotten almost no attention.

297
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: I remember back in the day writing roughly like four

298
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: hundred and twelve like meaningless updates about Matt Fourte trying

299
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 3: to get paid with the Bears was just like gun

300
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 3: to head, toughy, and then it just happened. It's like

301
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: just now I think we are learning just stay silent,

302
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: put head to ground and it will happen at some point.

303
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 4: There's like an outside chance. I feel like, you know,

304
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: these could go into like the week before week one

305
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: and be a little surprising. If he would miss time,

306
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: maybe Josh Jacobs would be the one dead.

307
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: That one feels a little angry enough.

308
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: The only thing that.

309
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: As a chiefs and I wouldn't be concerned, the only

310
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: thing that would concern me slightly. Of course, he's an

311
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: elite athlete whose production tells you he busts asked to

312
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: be who he is. But if he's out of camp

313
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: and doing his own thing and then he comes back

314
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: in a week before the game start, is he gonna

315
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: be kind of ready to go? Is he susceptible to injury?

316
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: You want your guys in the bill and you want

317
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: to feel like, yeah, that.

318
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 4: Part's and he's older. Yeah, this is his third contract.

319
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: This is not as he's already gotten one big contract.

320
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 4: And I think that probably is what's complicating it a

321
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: little bit, because he's the best at what he does,

322
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: basically at his particular I know he's a different player

323
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: than Donald. He might get paid like it, but he's

324
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: got to be thirty two to thirty three by the

325
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: end of this contract.

326
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a little news item. Anything else. It's the

327
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: last time we had one news item. Well, you had

328
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: one you wanted to add, No.

329
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: I was would mention that the Browns added Shelby Harris.

330
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: So you would mention that, wouldn't you.

331
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think they've done a nice job this offseason.

332
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: That was a huge weakness all last year. You could

333
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: run right through them like an open barn door, and

334
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: they've shored that up.

335
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: You think they've done enough. How are you feeling about

336
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: the Browns offense? I was pretty stunned off side that defense.

337
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: Rather that the Football Outsiders have their ninth in defense.

338
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: I thought that was high too, because for me, it's

339
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: always like, let's see it first. But I think they've

340
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: got a pretty elite group of cornerbacks. They've got some

341
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: young safeties. You've you've put someone across from Miles Garrett,

342
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: and the interior defensive line has been patched up. So

343
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: they did about as much as you could do. And

344
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: you get these August signings and like Shelby Harris like

345
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: has been a really consistent player.

346
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: I think so right, all their draft picks haven't worked.

347
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: I guess they just drafted someone siaki Ika, so he

348
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: can play there. But you're right, it's kind of like

349
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 4: the old the old big guy group, Dalvin Thomas and

350
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 4: Shelby Harris, da Darius Smith. Probably they all they all

351
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: won't work out. But defense to me is a little

352
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: less about talent a little more just about like coaching

353
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: and attitude. Are they playing hard?

354
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: You know?

355
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: So if Schwartz can get him to do that.

356
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the coordinator was a big problem the last two years.

357
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: You're bad. Don't just do your job. Do your job

358
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: and more right, that's where football is.

359
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: That slogan on Tuesday after seeing that on Hard Knocks

360
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: from the.

361
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: I can't wait to, you know, see Belichick shake Jeff

362
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: Ulbrick's hand after the eleventh graate Patriots victory over the Jets.

363
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: And be like, little.

364
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: I knew more about football before you were even born.

365
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Good stuff, all right, Transition, I remember you was a.

366
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: Player on the forty nine ers.

367
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: You were a jack transition, you know.

368
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: I one, it's not a criticism of Hard Knocks, and

369
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go dungee here, by the way,

370
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: but the Jets are the hard knocks team and my

371
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: son Jack is really starting to get into football. In fact,

372
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: it's his birthday this weekend, and he asked his grandmother

373
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: for an Aaron Rodgers jersey and that's arriving on Saturday.

374
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: And he previously out of Sam Darneld jersey and a

375
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson jersey. So there are times to charm. How

376
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: do you watch that with the eight year old? When

377
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: jeth Oldbrick is going off with f bombs? How do

378
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: I do it? What's the what's the play?

379
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: So I brought that up because Walker wanted to watch

380
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: it and he's watched Quarterback, and I said, well, there's

381
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 4: there's a lot of bad words there, and he's very

382
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: Whenever I say a bad word something that's not even

383
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: a bad word, like dumb, he'll be like, that's a

384
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: bad word.

385
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's not it.

386
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: That's not really a bad word, not in the array

387
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: of bad words anyways. So I said that, I said,

388
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: there's a lot of, you know, bad words on that show.

389
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 4: He's like, I already know all the bad words, So

390
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 4: what's the difference.

391
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's a big deal. I was like,

392
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: that's a.

393
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: Strong bombs are pretty heavy though, No.

394
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 4: But my he's like, I know the worst ones I

395
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 4: was like, I know, I nobody.

396
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: My kids know them all. There doesn't seem to be

397
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: a compulsion to say them out loud in our house.

398
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: They're a little older, but yeah, they're a little older.

399
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: But I watched like the first half hour of Saving

400
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: Private Ryan with him yesterday, which I know is intense.

401
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: Wait wait, well no, because like they're really into World

402
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 3: War two and stuff, and I was like, well, I think.

403
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: You got a ring. That one of the most savage depictions.

404
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 3: It's insane, it's insane, but they handled the beautifully and

405
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: like we're going to continue to watch it. Like it's

406
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: like I think you ripped a band aid off at

407
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: some point and start showing real things. I tried. There

408
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: is a man that carries his own arm at one point,

409
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: but like there's a lot of other things that happen.

410
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: It's not that's nothing.

411
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: They not judging your parenting. I just think that movie

412
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 2: I think of the opening scene being as horrifying as

413
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: any depiction of it.

414
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: It is ever it is, But like they weren't, they were,

415
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: they were in app attention.

416
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: Now I don't feel so guilty about Yeah, I.

417
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: Think he can handle It's like he's gonna you know

418
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: it's a guy in a chair saying a bad word.

419
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: Jack got into his first fight last week at a camp.

420
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: Differing differing items of reporting on this, but Jack said

421
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: the kid in front of him his hat fell off,

422
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: and Jack said he stepped on it, but accidentally m.

423
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

424
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 2: The boy then turned around, gave it to Jack and

425
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: said I thought you were my friend.

426
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: Why'd you do that?

427
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: And then kicked him and on the playground it was

428
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: like kicking him and calling him the B word, and

429
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: then Jack called him the B word back, and then

430
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: the counselor say the B word.

431
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: I don't think you need to worry about the jet Steve, Yeah, exactly,

432
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: he's already well, this is my point.

433
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: And I actually didn't even come down too hard on

434
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: him about getting busted by the counselor because he's now

435
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: at that age where you're gonna have dust ups with

436
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: kids sometimes. I had it when I was I remember

437
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: Saint Margaret's in the Layup line with Tommy O'Hara, him

438
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: going back and forth with him, that that was right

439
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: around that age, and the language starts to ramp up

440
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: around his age. I was just like, maybe, again, I

441
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: don't want to dongify this, but maybe.

442
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: There's a it's HBO Max.

443
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: You can do anything on that streaming platform. You could

444
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: put the belief version and the uncensored version.

445
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: You could also fast forward through that part too. Great

446
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: part you the parent Well, I know, but then's and

447
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: that's not just that.

448
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Part obviously, you know.

449
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's get to a very important matter here,

450
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: vitally important.

451
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: For the past.

452
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: And I think I have to address this because I

453
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: was getting some stuff on social that seemed to there

454
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: are people that were curious if this was.

455
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Went down a different way.

456
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: We've had some let's face it, we've had some unnecessary

457
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: drama involving turnover connected to this podcast in this offseason

458
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: and the transfer of duties. I will no longer be

459
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 2: doing power rankings NFL dot com this year. This was

460
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: my idea, It was our idea collectively, because we are

461
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: really excited to do some more stuff connected to this show,

462
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: specifically with NFL Plus. We're gonna have to kind of

463
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: announce our plans to the audience soon on that, but

464
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: we're working on like multiple new shows connected to the

465
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: universe of A ten. So it was time to get

466
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 2: Power Rings up the plate and it's so important.

467
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: I think in any.

468
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: Kind of group or organization for a nation, what have

469
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: you a peaceful transfer of power, right because without that

470
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: you have chaos.

471
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: Like when one president's chanding it off to another president.

472
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: We need that peaceful transfer of power.

473
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 2: And with that set, I want to welcome on a

474
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: highly qualified individual who has taken the scepter of not

475
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: just the Power Rankings. This is what Eric and I

476
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: spoke last week, the Power Rankings. Eric at Holme Writer

477
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: NFL dot com. The Power Rankings got.

478
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 5: Your handwritten note in the top desk drawer, you know

479
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: in the presidential office.

480
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 6: Thank you for that. Was a nice touch.

481
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: But and I do sorry about all the F bombs

482
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: in it. You know that. You know I've been watching.

483
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: This is such a parenting show. I didn't know that

484
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 5: that was such a big topic. But I'm I'm going

485
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: to tune into every format you guys have going forward

486
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 5: to make sure I'm.

487
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 6: Knowing when to screen Shindler's List for my kids. You

488
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 6: know that sort of thing.

489
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: That's what happens when you have one news item.

490
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: So yes, right, right, right, yeah, that was Dad in June, right, Yes, Eric,

491
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: who is a lead draft writer for US here at

492
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: NFL dot Com does awesome work there, and and yeah,

493
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: after four years of Power Rankings, it was time for

494
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: me to graduate do something else. And and who's more

495
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: qualified than at home? Who's done it in the past,

496
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: different in different places, And the first one.

497
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: Was a banger in fact.

498
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: And I point everyone over to his Power rankings because

499
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: one thing, for example, Eric's he's streets ahead of me

500
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: in terms of this time of year, especially because he

501
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: can tell you, all right, here's my rankings, and the

502
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: ranking especially this time of year, arbitrary of course, however,

503
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: the rookie classes and how they're going to look and

504
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: what we're going to be looking for in these upcoming

505
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: preseason games. Eric does a great job in the first

506
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: Power Rankings diving into that side of these teams, which

507
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: is so vital.

508
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: So good job, Eric, And terrible job putting the Chiefs

509
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: number one. I just don't see it.

510
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: It's time to get after some people on Power rankings.

511
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, good stuff, Bud, a great start.

512
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you.

513
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 5: It's funny that one of the last Twitter replies I

514
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 5: just got was somebody imploring me to be different, to

515
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: be bold, to be creative, to think outside of the

516
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 5: box and not.

517
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 6: Just put two last year's two Super Bowls to top

518
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 6: the list. But I didn't want to break the news

519
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 6: to him.

520
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: If I if I did that, I would have you know,

521
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 5: I would have had Bengals Cowboys at the top. I

522
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: would have gotten more you know, garbage from that too.

523
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 5: So I have been indoctrinated into the the fan response thing.

524
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 5: The last two days have given me a kind of

525
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 5: a tiny snapshot of what you've gone through for four years.

526
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 5: So it's gonna be a ride. It's gonna be a ride.

527
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: I'll say that it'll be fun.

528
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 3: I'd ask you this because I know that Dan took

529
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: a lot of heat. No matter what you do, you

530
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: got big groups of people coming after you, and like,

531
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: what is your confrontational style? Are you someone that's just

532
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 3: gonna absorb it and like it, you know, go water

533
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: off a ducks back, or do you get on Twitter

534
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 3: and start telling people you sit down? I'm the writer.

535
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, the old at home would would have would have

536
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 5: fired back and thrown haymakers as best I could.

537
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: I think I've melted a little bit.

538
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 5: I don't know if if that's a having kids saying

539
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 5: or getting married there, I don't know.

540
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 6: Just being in the business for for a while thing.

541
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 5: But I do save up some little, quick, pithy responses

542
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 5: whenever I have them in my back pocket. But these days,

543
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 5: I mean, you can look. I think I've responded about

544
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: five or six people. The other two hundred and thirty

545
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 5: six are gonna have to wait.

546
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: I'm trying to guess, and you can tell me if

547
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 4: I can guess right, because it's I'm trying to guess

548
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 4: who has already been going after you the most that

549
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 4: weren't happy with these rankings.

550
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: I'll throw the Seahawks out there.

551
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, they're like a nicer fan base in general.

552
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: They're smart, but they might not be happy with being fourteenth.

553
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: I mean, I was trying to think other than that,

554
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 4: I don't see anything popping too too much.

555
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, in fact, a lot of right above them, the

556
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: Browns mark. You can weigh in on this if you

557
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 5: have a strong feeling. I was gonna put the Browns

558
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: a little higher than thirteenth. I had Seattle fourteenth, Cleveland.

559
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 5: I know, I know, and I said to myself, I

560
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 5: don't think I can do it. In fact, I had

561
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 5: just read Greg your little tantalizing nugget about what Collinsworth

562
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 5: was saying about Deshaun Watson.

563
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: I hadn't seen it yet.

564
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 5: I hadn't I hadn't watched the TV broadcast. Was that

565
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 5: for the face all Greg could probably set it up

566
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: better than I can, but basically kind of questioning whether

567
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: Watson was a fit in this offense.

568
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was Thursday night and we didn't really ever

569
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 4: hit it on the podcast, but it was interesting reading

570
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 4: between the lines. It sounded like Collinsworth had talked to

571
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: the coaching staff and to Watson and there was a

572
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: little bit of a disagreement of the direction of the offense.

573
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: That you know, Stefanski does one thing and Watson wants

574
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: to freestyle and do a little more spread and a

575
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: little more running, and that maybe the Browns weren't going

576
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 4: to change their offense as much as Deshaun Watson was hoping.

577
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 4: And the way he said it was couched, but it

578
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 4: knowing how these things work, I don't think it was

579
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 4: out of nowhere. And that was just like a little

580
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 4: a little something to file away where if they're four

581
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: and you know, seven and they fire Stefanski, I'll remember

582
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 4: that was you know, Watson's gonna be there next I.

583
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: Was going to say, there's one guy that has a

584
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed contract and one

585
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: guy entering his fourth year who hasn't made the playoffs

586
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: in two and there're one playoff when he was on

587
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 2: the couch on his in his basement.

588
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: Isn't that why it's totally fair to have Cleveland at thirteen.

589
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: I love it because I.

590
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: Shared number thirteen real quick, just setting you up this

591
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: way mark that to me, and we didn't talk about this.

592
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: Eric. Thirteen was always my twilight zone.

593
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: That spot thirteen was where I couldn't quite figure out,

594
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: and it was always natural fit.

595
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: So I think it works for the way you kind

596
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: of came up with it too.

597
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: When I couldn't quite buy in on a team, but

598
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 2: I also couldn't I couldn't think I can't bury them

599
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: fifteen sixteen, seventeen. Thirteen was like this is my I'm

600
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: gonna park him here because I don't know what to do.

601
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can't be offended if you're a fan

602
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: of a team sitting at thirteen. I think Cleveland just

603
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: has this variance because we don't know what's going to

604
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 3: happen with the most important position. They're talented, you can

605
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: see it on paper. But that's been true for a

606
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 3: number of years and the wins haven't come. So I

607
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: have no issue with them being where they are.

608
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 5: I that twelve through probably let me look at my

609
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 5: list here.

610
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 6: Eighteen, seventeen eighteen. I would say I had the Giants

611
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 6: at eighteen. That got some people gathered up.

612
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: Steelers at nineteen got was really yeah.

613
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 6: That one set people off, and I understand it, right.

614
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 5: I just think the division's brutal, and the same could

615
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 5: be said for the NFC.

616
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: So that's where has the Steelers a pin for nineteen

617
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: wins this year?

618
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: I set up a double digit wins, But I don't think, well, yeah, well,

619
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 3: I would ask you a question because I so I

620
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: did QB index Greg Greg has done in a number

621
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: of times. I always felt like when I'm writing that

622
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: thing and you get from like twenty two to twenty

623
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: eight and like I'm staring at quarterbacks that I'm not

624
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: even sure she should be in the league based on injuries.

625
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: It's like, you, what sort of substances do you and

626
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: buy at that point just to get through that lurky

627
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: area that's just like undefinable.

628
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's usually cold coffee by that point because I'm

629
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 5: so dialed in. You know, this is a piece, and

630
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: I've sort of realized quickly that you know, you can

631
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 5: do in small chunks, or you can just try to

632
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 5: sit down for a three hour chunk and knock.

633
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 6: Out as much as you can.

634
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 5: That's what I did, and I didn't refill my cups,

635
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 5: So it was it was the cold coffee taste in

636
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 5: my mouth that I was like, We're getting to the

637
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 5: point where I'm going to make some people mad, and

638
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 5: I don't really know what I'm doing here, because like

639
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 5: you said, there's so many unknown, so many variables.

640
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 6: It's a lot of dark throwing. Some of these picks

641
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 6: are gonna look ridiculous in a couple.

642
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: I think that based on my time writing, especially last

643
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 2: season and the way Justin Fields broke out in some

644
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: ways last year, and then the very busy offseason for

645
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: the Bears, the Chicago fans coming after you, a little

646
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 2: bit of having them at twenty five.

647
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was funny because I think I had him.

648
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 5: I did some shuffling and I think I started him

649
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 5: at twenty three and then just kept kind of saying, well,

650
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put right commanders ahead of Yeah, I mean

651
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: the defense of the commanders, Mike Rabel for the Titans.

652
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: You know, Green Bay could surprise people whatever. I kept

653
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 5: sliding people ahead of them. So yeah, I got a

654
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: little heat from my hometown folks. And you know, I'm

655
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: just trying to be realistic about it where I think, Look,

656
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: they still have a ton of issues to figure out.

657
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: Am I optimistic? Is the arrow point in the right way?

658
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 6: I think so?

659
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: But there were still enough kind of reports about fields

660
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 5: and having some some up and down practices that it

661
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 5: made me think I can't really graduate these guys up

662
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 5: to contender status just because Aaron Rodgers in the AFC

663
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 5: East Right now.

664
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: I should say, bad host job.

665
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: Here's the top ten Chiefs, Eagles, Niners, Bengals, Bills. You

666
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: could move maybe the back end of the top five

667
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: round you want, if you want, But I think that's fine.

668
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: Cowboys six, Ravens seven, Jets eight. See I'm a little

669
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: bit relieved I don't have to get killed for being

670
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: a Homer. Sure, but I would have the Jets right

671
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: in that zone as well, Dolphins nine, Jags ten, and

672
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: then right on the outside looking in Lions and Chargers

673
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: eleven twelve.

674
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: I have no issue with that, except I think the

675
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: Ravens are coming in a little higher than I would

676
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: have thought.

677
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 5: Yes, I think that's another team that I had some

678
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: regret on and probably would have put a little bit higher.

679
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, look, it happens, Greg, it happens,

680
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: and you send it in or you know, you have regrets,

681
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: no weight.

682
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think it's strange though, that we've

683
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 5: gotten some some some real frustration out of Ravens camp

684
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 5: about the offense.

685
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: Not strange, I shouldn't say that. You know, these things happen, right,

686
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 6: I mean, but I.

687
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 5: Really was expecting there to be a little bit more

688
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 5: of a smoother runway, that they would kind of get

689
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 5: this thing rolling and then kind of branch it out offensively.

690
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's it's not as if he

691
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 5: hasn't been an offensive coordinator before, but it's a different thing.

692
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 5: So it seems like there's been a little bit of

693
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 5: frustration from Lamar and the receivers aren't quite fitting in yet.

694
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, I might have gone a tiny bit higher

695
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 6: if I had a redo.

696
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 4: Right below kind of the six. I feel like there's

697
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: six teams this year Chiefs, Eagles, forty nine, Ers, Bengals, Bills, Cowboys,

698
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: where if like they don't make the playoffs, right, it's

699
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 4: a catastrophe, And I do think there's sort of a

700
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: cut after that.

701
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: Now.

702
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure Ravens fans or Jets fans.

703
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: Will feel like it's a catastrophe if they don't make

704
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: the playoffs too, But it's like, not everyone can make

705
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: the playoffs. But those first six I suspect are kind

706
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: of a consensus for six though, But looking at the

707
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: power in general, like, I feel like the bottom of

708
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: the league isn't as bad as it's been in some years.

709
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: The Cardinals, yes, and and some other teams will pop

710
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: in there. Maybe it's the Colt so you have a

711
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: little higher than expected twenty six. But like, looking at

712
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 4: teams like the Raiders and the Bucks, I can't kill

713
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 4: you for making them twenty ninth and thirtieth. But it's

714
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 4: like those teams have a lot of players for the

715
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: twenty ninth and thirtieth team. And that's why the NFL

716
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: is the greatest sports league in the world.

717
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: Here comes a one hundred dollars Just stuff.

718
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: Where's my MVP coin? Are we still giving you?

719
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 6: Get free usage of the locker room.

720
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: It is crazy.

721
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 4: Well, it's like the Raiders, I get I get it.

722
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 4: They're at twenty nine. It's like, man, the Raiders have

723
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: a lot of players for twenty nine.

724
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: Same with the Buck It's an optimistic time of year

725
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: obviously for almost every team except for the Cardinals. And

726
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: that's when this is so hard, because it's like somebody's

727
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: got to be thirty twenty thirty one, twenty nine, twenty seven,

728
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: and you know, then the games start, and Eric, that's

729
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: when it gets really fun and really busy and really contentious.

730
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: But I think you're the right man for the job.

731
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: I appreciate that the scepter has been passed for and

732
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: the one thing I would say, if you can continue

733
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: to carry on the legacy of just unearned confidence and

734
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: letting people know that there are many power rankings, but

735
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: there is only one that truly matters, and it's the

736
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: one that comes from the NFL itself, and now it

737
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: is you in control.

738
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: Good luck, sir.

739
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 5: I'm a little nervous all of a sudden, the way

740
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: you painted it that way, but yeah, all right, I'm

741
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 5: in I hope you guys willow me back on to

742
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 5: talk power rankings sometime and yeah, I appreciate everything you've done.

743
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Remember what RG three said, the grind is the fine.

744
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 4: Dan every every Tuesday before he pressed published would actually

745
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 4: bow to this shrine of of Vic Carriucci, the first

746
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: person to George Washington of power ranking.

747
00:32:59,760 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: True.

748
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 5: That's sure, get his mug behind me as a tribute.

749
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: Going after it turned the rev. All right, Eric, thank

750
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: you very much, buddy, good luck, will be in touch.

751
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 6: Thanks Eric, all right, boys, thank you.

752
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: See Eric, of all the great things connected with power

753
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: rank is the most annoying thing that the only thing

754
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: that really got me pissed is if, like I don't

755
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: do as much, but if I posted on Instagram, like

756
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: a shot of me and my sons or something, and

757
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: then some bonehead would do that, Yeah, yo, Rams at

758
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: twenty four, you suck. You should be fired. It's like bruh.

759
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

760
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: I think the greatest insult I ever got was underneath

761
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: one of an article you're dumb and your kids are dumb.

762
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: And I only had one child at the time, like.

763
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: Well you have the daughter too, maybe reference maybe that

764
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: was stepfather and perhaps because you were compared to the

765
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: absentee until she was eighteen, I mean it stuck with

766
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: me a time. All right, let's take a break and

767
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: then we'll get into preseason Week one promo time. Welcome back,

768
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: and this is an important one. My employment hinges on

769
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 2: how much I put into this week free two one.

770
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: Football is back and NFL Network has every preseason game,

00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 2: social the year, big names putting new cities on their backs,

773

00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: New England Patriots will see j Stroud. Vikings at Seahawks,

783
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: Is that? Yeah? Texans at New England at Patriots winch me.

784
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into why don't we do it

785
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: like this?

786
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: You killed that read by the way, genuine zeal was

787
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 3: kind of pouring out of you.

788
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a big, big mom. I mean, Walker has

789
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 4: been counting down. He's he's into the preseason. I think

790
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 4: it's he's a boy. Yeah, he don't know anything. Well,

791
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 4: the adults are the adults are too thin. I mean,

792
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: I don't think what adults talking out of school. I

793
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 4: mean the Hall of Fame game got higher ratings than

794
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: like like NBA.

795
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: Playoff games, MLB playoff game.

796
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: It's our it's our biggest couple of weeks of the

797
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 4: year on NFL network because we're just preseason all the

798
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 4: time and tons of people watch it.

799
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: You're right, but Greg, you're suggesting that Dan and I

800
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 3: aren't totally we're bought in, we're involved.

801
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: Yes, the the popularity of say, the Hall of Fame game,

802
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 2: which is outrageous, that game from a competitive stamp point

803
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: competition standpoint, just shows you how the juggernaut the NFL

804
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: is that that we have and we're you know, very

805
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: lucky to cover this sport that could that could garner

806
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 2: numbers like that for a game in which virtually no

807
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: starters are even on the field. We're going to see

808
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: starters on the field, not not everybody.

809
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of big names.

810
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: Very rare that you see big names, especially a quarterback

811
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: position playing, but We're going to see a lot of

812
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: players that are going to matter. And let's start with

813
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 2: the let's just go and Ond Vikings at Seahawks, Mark, you.

814
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: Got a whole list of stuff. What are you looking

815
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: for in this game?

816
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't say when game by game. This way,

817
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 3: I've got them sprinkled throughout. Vikings, I think they sort

818
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: of said no one's going to play, but Jordan Addison,

819
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: the rookie wide out, is someone i'd point to. And

820
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigbuff for the Seahawks. I mean, these

821
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 3: guys are going to be counted on right away from

822
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: from week one, and especially I just think that Seattle

823
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 3: like wide receiver group is insane, and I think that

824
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna get like Jackson's gonna I just had this

825
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: feeling the way he looked to me on tape that

826
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 3: he's just gonna step right in and fit with them.

827
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: And so if you get a little bit of them

828
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: literally hours from now, I would be excited to see

829
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 3: what they look like.

830
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: He's too good to play in the preseason, I'm a

831
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 4: little disappointed, and some teams do play their starters more.

832
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: And because Pete Carroll has historically done a lot of.

833
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: That right he has.

834
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: It's when Russell Wilson won his job. Yep, was really

835
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 4: in the preseason. I'm a little disappointed Devin Witherspoon's had

836
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 4: a second a hamstring injury. He's their top five pick

837
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: at cornerback, who they picked over Jalen Carter, and so

838
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 4: he's had one of those camps where he started a

839
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 4: little late because of the contract, then the hamstring, and

840
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: he actually wasn't taking starter snaps for the most part.

841
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: And that's maybe it's Pete Carroll making him earn it,

842
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 4: but he's playing inside. It just one of those things

843
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 4: that could already fast forward to next year and here

844
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: deb had some Devin Witherspoon puffy saying like I never

845
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: really fully caught. So I'd like, because I'm really excited

846
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 4: about him. I'm excited about that secondary, excited about that

847
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: that defense. But I don't know if we'll see much

848
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 4: of him in the preseason.

849
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, DJ Dallas, you would think is going to get

850
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: a good run here potentially with all the injury Seattle

851
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: has in. Yeah, Smith and Jigba hits the ground running,

852
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: and Lockett has been as underrated as any receiver the

853
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: last ten years. And of course metcalf Is I think

854
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: is a superstar. As long as Gino doesn't create here,

855
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna score points.

856
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna do very well. Their turnaround to like less

857
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: than a year.

858
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: Stroud is the is the headliner for the Thursday night

859
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 4: games that we get to see Stroud because it according

860
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 4: to xens at pats right the reporters there, he started

861
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 4: camp a little slower like like most rookies do, and

862
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: has really come on and trading camp, I mean preseasons

863
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 4: for rookies, and so him in Tank Dell. Tank Dell

864
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 4: is the third round pick. Kind of that shifty slot

865
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 4: receiver Mold getting wide open like that.

866
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: That should be fun to watch.

867
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,479
Speaker 2: On the Patriots side of things, what are we seeing

868
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: mac Jones today?

869
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 4: I don't think so he is. They never say ahead

870
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 4: of time all the you.

871
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: Know, we didn't dwell on it too much.

872
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 2: But any speculation through the spring and into early summer

873
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: about the Bailly Zapi Mac Jones QB battle, there is

874
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: no battle.

875
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: Mac Jones is the guy. He's getting the first team reps.

876
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: I would say, if Jones isn't playing a lot, Zappi

877
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: is gonna get some playing time. It is an opportunity

878
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: to put a bug in Belichick's ear, you know, if

879
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: he lights up a bunch of practice squad guys and

880
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 2: future FedEx stra ZAPPI, Yeah, Zapi.

881
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 3: I think Belichick Gordy has a bit of a Zappi fascinating, right,

882
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: So yeah.

883
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 2: This is an opportunity for him to further dig into

884
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: that infatuation.

885
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: I mean I would I would play Mac Jones. I

886
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 3: mean it's series or two because like they used to,

887
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 3: Tom Brady would roll out during the preseason more than

888
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: you'd think, right, I fould have said, I have no

889
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 3: idea if he's played right, we'll see if this is

890
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 3: a new offense. In theory, it's been corrected a lot.

891
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 3: But like the reports out of New England, especially at

892
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: like that very thin, unelegant UH wide RECEI position, have

893
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: been kind of disastrous. So it's like, what are we

894
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: holding Mac Jones back for? Like it's like that it

895
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: doesn't get hurt well, sure, but like at some point,

896
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: I mean, I would just they gotta get this thing

897
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: going with Ben Deminton, who's healthy on the line, I

898
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 3: think I think they'd say play two quarters. I think

899
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: they've they've seen their offense kind of come to life

900
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 3: two over the last week.

901
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 4: That's the thing. You get so fixated. It's crazy to

902
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 4: take much away from those non padded practices. To Mario Douglas,

903
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: is that how you say his name, an undrafted rookie

904
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 4: smells like a patriotsy guy that he might be their

905
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 4: starting slot receiver. They might have an undrafted guy playing

906
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 4: a lot of snaps, so he is someone where the

907
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: preseason matters for him. They had a second rounder last year,

908
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 4: Taekwon Thornton they got all excited about, and he might

909
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 4: already be passed by this undrafted kid.

910
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: Douglas, You're right about Belichick and the Patriots being unpredictable.

911
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: I kind of remember vaguely, like year fifteen for Brady

912
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: or around there, him playing with the first team off

913
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: out until like the second half. Oh yeah, yeah, just

914
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: letting it rip.

915
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: And it's now with the three weeks, so it's also

916
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 4: unpredictable which weeks starters will play because there's less and

917
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of teams aren't using that

918
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: third week that actually some might use the first and

919
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: second week almost as what used to be the second

920
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 4: and third week, Like those are the kind of the

921
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 4: two main weeks. So every team approaches it a little differently,

922
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: depends if you had the joint practices, like, for instance,

923
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 4: the Jets Panthers second joint practice got rained out, and

924
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, you wonder if they might play a

925
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 4: little more starters.

926
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: I doubt Aaron Rodgers.

927
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 4: Is playing, but maybe Bryce Young plays a little more

928
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 4: because they didn't get that second joint.

929
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: They seem to like those practices so much more because

930
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 3: you can work with the other coach to set up

931
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: what you actually want to do.

932
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: We're in a game, like you a little more control.

933
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you may not get to the red zone in

934
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: a game with the people you want to have there.

935
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: Let's move to Friday Jummon at Detroit lines from Ford Field,

936
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: I would say from the Giant side of things, we

937
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: all know Darren Waller is going to be they hope

938
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: will be the focal point kind of their passing attack

939
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 2: and their red zone offense. They have a bunch we've

940
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 2: talked about on the show, just a bunch of guys,

941
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: A wide receiver and if I'm a Giants fan, you

942
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: know we're looking at Isaiah Hodgkins, Darius Slayton, Paris Campbell,

943
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: Jalen Hyatt a rookie, Sterling Shepherd's there, Wandell Robinson even

944
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 2: though he's on the pup list right now. You want

945
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 2: some of these guys to kind of establish a role

946
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: or find themselves and be able to put together an offense.

947
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 4: We just saw Connie Fox outside. I waived her to

948
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 4: come in, so we'll see if that happens. So sometimes

949
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 4: it's like about who does and doesn't play in the preseason,

950
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 4: but the reports in camp.

951
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 3: I think Hodgens is a starter.

952
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 4: I think Jalen Hyatt, their third round rookies, had a

953
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 4: nice game, and I think Paris Campbell might have wormed

954
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 4: his way into playing time there. So basically, all the

955
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 4: guys who have been around, like Sterling Shepherd and Wanda

956
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 4: like they might be getting left.

957
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: But I want to see Jamison Crowders in that camp.

958
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: Is that true?

959
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 3: He is there as well.

960
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 4: Cole Beasley's there, Like they're not gonna need those guys

961
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 4: if the Paris Campbell's and the Jalen Hyatts end up performing.

962
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: Eric, can you give your head said to Connie, say hello, yeah.

963
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 3: I'm one that like waved her forward. Yes, Greg, yes,

964
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: the job. I'm just saying it. You did a great job.

965
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 3: It seems like, uh, she didn't want to come.

966
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 7: This is not great for the hair. Right now, it's.

967
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, how are you, Colleen?

968
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 7: I'm great?

969
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: Are you?

970
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 7: I just got back from Seattle last night.

971
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 1: You loved it there.

972
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 3: You suggested you might not leave.

973
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 7: I love Seattle.

974
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: They put you on Puget Sound.

975
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 7: Over there Lake Washington that looks tranquil.

976
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: Is that a real lake? Because you say George Washington

977
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: might not be real? What about Lake Washington?

978
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 3: I mean it depends what mental state and where Connie

979
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 3: was and what she was doing.

980
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 8: Well, I was working, so I was in a very

981
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 8: straight lace state. But it was still superla what reality

982
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 8: got it got it?

983
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 7: Miss you guys. Great to see you.

984
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: Great to see you. What do you got going on

985
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: right now?

986
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 7: I'm here to just do the double header today?

987
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: Oh beautiful?

988
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah?

989
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: You got any any take?

990
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 2: We just hit on the two games and he takes.

991
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 7: I can't prepare. We went home at ten o'clock last night.

992
00:43:58,800 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: We were thorough for five weeks.

993
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 4: Did you did you have a I saw you gave

994
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll like a pair of you know, air Carrols

995
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 4: or whatever air monarchs.

996
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 8: So Pete Carroll gave us Bucky and I Bucky got

997
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 8: some monarchs because Pee Carroll gave the whole team monarchs,

998
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 8: but they didn't have monarchs in my size, so they

999
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 8: gave me some air maxes.

1000
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: What is your shoes?

1001
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 7: I'm a six and a half in women, so I

1002
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 7: can fit in a five youth Like, what is.

1003
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: That in the range of women's shaking your head in

1004
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: smaller stun disbelief that a foo could be that small.

1005
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's great.

1006
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 8: I can I can buy boys shoes, so they're cheaper,

1007
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 8: so jays are and like more availability.

1008
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: To Yeah, that's good. That's good.

Speaker 1: You've said it all, and it's good.

Speaker 4: Her out on the NFL network. I mean we did

1019
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 4: extra promo.

1020
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I definitely in the clear.

1021
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: We had a corporate meeting that started two minutes ago,

1022
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: and we're just sticking it to the corporals because we're

1023
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 3: still here at doing this bang.

1024
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 4: I had two corporate meetings at the exact same time scheduled.

1025
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: All right, here we go.

1026
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: So we talked about the Giants, anything, guys on the

1027
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: Detroit side that you're looking.

1028
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 3: For, Sam Laporta, who has been like the rave reviews

1029
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: all camp. I don't know how much we'll see of them, but.

1030
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay, this is the most uninspiring quarterback

1031
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: competition since.

1032
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: What's the Chief's hard knock season? You remember those guys Brody.

1033
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 4: Coyle and yeah that's Tyler? Think Ben was that?

1034
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: Iggy?

1035
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 3: Was that one? Or was Castle in there? There's Matt

1036
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 3: Castle and Brady Quinn one year but you both you

1037
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 3: knew it was over for both.

1038
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 4: It's a tough one when you sign Baker to a

1039
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 4: one year, three million dollar contract, which is like less

1040
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 4: than good backups make. But then he's your favorite to

1041
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 4: start Week one. Problematic, I feel like he has a chance.

1042
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 4: I also I actually feel like if John Walford had

1043
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: a huge preseason, like it will increase the chances that

1044
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 4: we see John Walford playing NFL football.

1045
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: This inch me, uh, let's move on to Green Bay.

1046
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: At Cincinnati, well, I don't know what we'll how much

1047
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 2: we'll see of Jordan Love, but I mean that's these playing.

1048
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 3: There's that. I mean, there's the Bengals are just probably

1049
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 3: they've been practicing against each other the past couple of

1050
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 3: days and they've been intense practices where a couple guys

1051
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 3: got kicked out of practice for fighting. And you know,

1052
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: Jordan Love reports in general that he's been sort of

1053
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 3: up and down, that he's like in those scrimmages there

1054
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 3: was a lot of sort of conservative play and checkdowns

1055
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 3: and stuff. So I want to see how they use him.

1056
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 4: He's playing, I mean, and I think he'll play at

1057
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: least the first two weeks of preseason, maybe all three.

1058
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 4: They have so many rookies that matter on a team

1059
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 4: that I think actually will matter this year, that they

1060
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 4: are one of the teams to watch I think in

1061
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 4: the preseason. Like Jaden Reid it sounds like is going

1062
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 4: to be their slot receiver.

1063
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 3: He's a rookie.

1064
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 4: Why am I spacing on the guy that I'm not

1065
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 4: totally must crave Their tight end, rookie tight end has

1066
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 4: had a big training camp, so they those guys will

1067
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 4: be out there, and like the Bengals, I do wonder

1068
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 4: if their backup quarterbacks continue to play like you would

1069
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 4: expect Jake Browning and Trevor Simons play. It's like, what

1070
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: are we doing here? You're trying to win a super Bowl?

1071
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 4: You're really gonna be one heartbeat away from Jake Brownie

1072
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 4: and Trevor Simeon. Like I think if they struggle in

1073
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 4: the preseason, they might start kicking the cans on who's

1074
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 4: out the same. It's like a famous or a Carson.

1075
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: Hey, you on a second.

1076
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, but if Joe, if something

1077
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: happened to Joe, Bro's over any But I'm saying, like,

1078
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who you get off the it does.

1079
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 4: Because if you misses two or three weeks and the

1080
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 4: difference between Jameis Winston and Carson Wentz and freaking Jake Browning,

1081
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 4: it's like you got no chance with Jake brown You

1082
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 4: throw Wentz or Winston or someone like that.

1083
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: On a I thought you meant more like a long

1084
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: term affair. You call it, Matt Ryan, But you're right,

1085
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: you should have something. We'll get to Winston because that

1086
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: jumped out to me. And doing some reading this morning.

1087
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: Uh.

1088
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 2: The Packers thing, by the way, just the theory, because

1089
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of positive buzz around love and

1090
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: I wonder how much of that is Packers fans trying

1091
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 2: to kind of will this into a happy outcome for

1092
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 2: the team at a time when Aaron Rodgers is on

1093
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: this wild honeymoon romp with the Jets that features no

1094
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 2: absolutely zero carnal boundaries.

1095
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 4: It is a crazy Arnold boundary. Yeah, I see what

1096
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 4: he's saying. It's it's like the best honeymoon period ever.

1097
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: Like they're not leaving the room, the Jets and Aaron

1098
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: Rodgers right now, and it's like, well the Packers, like

1099
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: I love you so much, Jordan love We're not going

1100
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 2: anywhere either.

1101
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1102
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 3: But there was a there was to get a report

1103
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 3: that like finally Aaron Rodgers got agitated at his at

1104
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 3: his teammates and some of them, wow, well you know

1105
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 3: he's been really kind and patient with but it's you know,

1106
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 3: can turn a little bit. So maybe they one of

1107
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 3: them did leave the room.

1108
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: It gives me a Rogers on TV is a lot

1109
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: there you go, So they could cross that off the list.

1110
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 3: Oh okay, it gives me t O and Philly vibes.

1111
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 4: When to arrived in Philly, it was like the greatest

1112
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 4: honeymoon period ever and it and it remained that way

1113
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 4: for an entire year. That's kind of It's kind of

1114
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 4: what I expected.

1115
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 2: Uh, Atlanta at Miami. How much were we going to

1116
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: see a be John Robinson Miami? That's what everyone's excited about.

1117
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 2: I think this is this is like the Falcons. There's

1118
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 2: something about them right now that's exciting.

1119
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,439
Speaker 4: I think Ritter might might play some I'm curious Dave

1120
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 4: Devon a chain the running back, rookie running back for

1121
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 4: the Dolphins, because as we mentioned kind of with Wes

1122
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 4: at the top of the show, I feel like rookie

1123
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 4: running backs you can't see it. Practice reports on running

1124
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 4: backs just don't matter. But this is where like those

1125
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 4: mid round guys, and there's a there's a few in

1126
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 4: this class, uh that I want to see this weekend.

1127
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 2: You know, I like the Falcons better this year than

1128
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: the last two years, right, but I did. I was

1129
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 2: at the barbershop on Saturday and I looked up and

1130
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: the TV had Desmond Ridder practice reel and then underneath

1131
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 2: it his his numbers in the final four four starts

1132
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: of the season, he threw for seven hundred and fifty

1133
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns and four starts. I thought he

1134
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 2: got better during those four I know that's such a

1135
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,479
Speaker 2: small sample sizing two random stats, but I mean, wasn't

1136
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 2: exactly a light in the world on fire.

1137
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: And now he's the unquestioned Q.

1138
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 4: I went back and watched those you know how many

1139
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 4: interceptions he had zero.

1140
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 3: Zero, and they talked about very accurate during this campus.

1141
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 3: I don't know seem to love him. I mean, I know,

1142
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 3: I just wonder if there's some convincing going on in

1143
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 3: that building as well. That's all they also could runs

1144
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 3: think it's like we're not going to learn too much quarterbacks.

1145
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 4: It's fun to watch, but that's where I think the

1146
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 4: preseason can get a little fake. Sometimes like Bordos pops.

1147
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 4: Sometimes some pretty great rookie quarterbacks have struggled in preseason.

1148
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: Washington, do you have anything else from Miami side of things?

1149
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 2: Washington at Cleveland, we're gonna see you'd like to see

1150
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 2: if you're the commander, especially after that story slash non

1151
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 2: story around you know, Eric the enemy is too mean.

1152
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: You'd like to see Sam Howe go out there and

1153
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 2: lead a scoring driver too, just to get some good

1154
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: vibes in that building about what their quarterback situation is

1155
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: right now. And you know, I don't I would imagine

1156
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 2: that in general, very few established qbs are gonna play

1157
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 2: snap in these silly games. But like Deshaun Watson, it

1158
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: would make sense for him to get as many reps

1159
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: as possible.

1160
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 3: There was some reporting that he'd play a little bit.

1161
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: He's one guy that I would think it makes a

1162
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 2: lot of sense based on his underwhelming clothes last season he.

1163
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 3: Played last preseason. I mean, I think you got to

1164
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 3: like this again. This is another one of these teams

1165
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 3: where if it's if you're like, you know, Russell Wilson,

1166
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 3: like get out there and play, like take some of this.

1167
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: A kind of fun.

1168
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: He had just signed that huge contract. Why did he

1169
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 2: even play in the preseason last year? If he was

1170
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 2: going to disappear for twelve weeks? Like, what was the

1171
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: point of that other than risking a blown ACL It's

1172
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: their centerpiece.

1173
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.

1174
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, are they making good decisions the.

1175
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: Well? Was it? Yeah?

1176
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: Denver at Arizona, go ahead, I got I got a

1177
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 2: take on the Broncos in this one.

1178
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: This one matters to me.

1179
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,959
Speaker 4: Well, this game matters to me because it's it's time

1180
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 4: for the Clayton Tune Express to start cranking it up.

1181
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 4: I mean, we got a chance to have a fifth

1182
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 4: round rookie possibly start Week one. That's outrageous. I gotta

1183
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 4: think it's Colt McCoy, but maybe it's Clayton Tune. And

1184
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 4: this reminds me. I actually brought in a gift today

1185
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 4: was that the Last Bookstore Downtown. Los Angeles are a

1186
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 4: city home to one.

1187
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: Of the world's great bookstores.

1188
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: Last bookstore.

1189
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 4: Really good classic and I saw in the sports section

1190
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 4: the nineteen Actually I don't know when this was released,

1191
00:52:54,600 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 4: the twenty eleven classic Growing Up Cult by Colt McCoy

1192
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 4: and Brad McCoy with Mike Yorkley, a father, a son,

1193
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 4: a life in football. Just think of the wisdom you

1194
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 4: can get from well, twelve years ago.

1195
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 3: I assume you're not gonnit. This is from Mark so

1196
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 3: number one. That's really nice. Appreciate that about like in

1197
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 3: twenty or twelve or so.

1198
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 2: Look at his open Look at his I'm a good

1199
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 2: old boy with my damn shirt.

1200
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: No book wrote it with his dad.

1201
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 3: I've actually read this book.

1202
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: Is that a John already read it.

1203
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 3: I read it when it came out, and so I wait,

1204
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 3: this is this is an incredible get to white like

1205
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: the Five. It's one of the It's one of the

1206
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 3: reasons that I named my son Colt, because it's really

1207
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: actually a good book if you're a dad. But secondly,

1208
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 3: I was at a Browns bar once, had the book

1209
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 3: with me and gave it to a Browns fan who

1210
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 3: I thought i'd see the next week, and he never

1211
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: showed up again. So I've not had the book for

1212
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 3: a decade, and now you that's really nice.

1213
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 4: I got to take it back that you had already

1214
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 4: read it.

1215
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no, I'm gonna put on my bookshelf.

1216
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 2: I got a feeling and I'm passing no judgment, but

1217
00:53:58,520 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 2: just just the vibe.

1218
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Jesus stuff in that one.

1219
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 3: It's they are a religious family. There's no doubt.

1220
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 1: I love football, I love family.

1221
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: I love my John Deere truck that I put on

1222
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 2: the cover of my book on Jesus Christ.

1223
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: But they kind of raised him to be kind of

1224
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 3: a you know, a tough kid out of the gate and.

1225
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: Stuff I want growing up. Colt Sessler. I want that one.

1226
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a while. That's that novel comes out

1227
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 3: about fourteen years from now, and there could be some

1228
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 3: there could be.

1229
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he's about the same age as Colt McCoy

1230
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 4: was when this book came out. There is always something

1231
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 4: funny to me about, like biography as of a twenty

1232
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 4: one year old.

1233
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, calm down about that. Uh.

1234
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 2: The the Jared Stidham of it all matters me, just

1235
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: because Sean Payton obviously likes him, and maybe Stidham can

1236
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 2: light up these FedEx drivers and turn a curiosity into

1237
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: an obsession for a head coach who's you know, egomaniacal

1238
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 2: and wants to put his stamp on his new team,

1239
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 2: and that would start with the quarterback that I brought

1240
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 2: in when I got here. My take is, I don't

1241
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: think we're gonna see Russell Wilson much but or at

1242
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 2: all today or this weekend. But like, I don't know

1243
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 2: if Russ even realized how much danger he's in. I

1244
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,720
Speaker 2: think Russ has to be closer to great than good

1245
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 2: to stay in this lineup because I think Peyton might

1246
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 2: be in a rush to kind of really start his.

1247
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 3: He's got to be the old Russell Wilson this season.

1248
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 3: I think the experiment my Week six or seven.

1249
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,919
Speaker 2: And my thoughts on the Cardinals. Clayton Tune, I don't care.

1250
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: Jeff driscoll, I don't care. David Blouse, I don't care well.

1251
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 4: The second two David Blau I understand, although we do

1252
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 4: have a co host, uh writing a newsletter about him,

1253
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 4: so that's kind of rude. I don't think there'll be

1254
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 4: factors in the battle. But uh, Clayton Tune, they drafted him,

1255
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 4: he's their guy.

1256
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Chicago.

1257
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 4: You know Chicago, they have a rookie running back Roshan

1258
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 4: Johnson justin Fields is going to play in this game.

1259
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 4: I think he's going to play potentially in all three

1260
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 4: preseason games.

1261
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: So good.

1262
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

1263
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 4: Ros Johnson is one of those guys that, like the

1264
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 4: draftnicks get super excited about and the fantasy heads are like,

1265
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 4: no one else is really there. It's Khalil err but

1266
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 4: they just like pencil him in as a potential starter

1267
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,720
Speaker 4: and then you hear like, actually he's not past protecting

1268
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 4: that well in camp and like so that he's one

1269
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 4: of those guys that's like needs to get playing time

1270
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 4: in the preseas.

1271
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 3: I think Tennessee, I want to see will Levis, I mean,

1272
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 3: any of these rookie quarterbacks. It's like, let's watch the

1273
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 3: entire play for what it's worth.

1274
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 4: They're still listing Malik Willis as the backup on those

1275
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 4: depth starts, but those depth stats don't mean much.

1276
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 2: Nice move by the way, Mike Frable naming DL the

1277
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 2: defensive line coach Trell Williams the acting head coach for

1278
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: this game. That does tell you a little bit about

1279
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:36,959
Speaker 2: how much this game means.

1280
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they should do that.

1281
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: But also a great job by a guy who's trying to,

1282
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 2: you know, pump up one of his dudes that he

1283
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 2: believes deserves.

1284
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 4: It's funny plot for him because I hear you in

1285
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 4: terms of what it means in the wins and losses,

1286
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 4: and that's right obviously. But whenever, whenever they on hard knocks,

1287
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 4: like are wired, and this is true all throughout the

1288
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 4: preass like they care so much they get like Aaron

1289
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 4: Roddy was going absolutely nuts just because they're competitors and

1290
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 4: they're playing football and people that they know are literally

1291
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 4: fighting for their livelihoods. Like that, they get super fired

1292
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 4: up for even though in the end. They also know

1293
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 4: that the result sorda doesn't matter. It's like it's a

1294
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 4: fascinating thing.

1295
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: True Indy at Buffalo Anthony Richardson not a surprise, barring injury.

1296
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't think there is any scenario in which Jim

1297
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 2: or excuse me, Shane steich In doesn't go with the

1298
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 2: first round rookie.

1299
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: In week one.

1300
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 3: We're starting this game too. I mean, I think they're.

1301
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 2: You're right, how do you keep What would he have

1302
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: to do, like, honestly, would Anthony Richardson it be through

1303
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 2: an interception in every one of these games and didn't

1304
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 2: move the ball.

1305
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: I still think he's starting week one.

1306
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:49,959
Speaker 3: He'd have to go like a wall for ten days

1307
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 3: and no one knows where he is, and it's like,

1308
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 3: we're not sure we can count this guy. But he's

1309
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 3: not gonna do that.

1310
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 4: Minshe's reportedly, you know, played really well practice. I actually

1311
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 4: think if he was really struggling in practice, if he

1312
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 4: was Zack Wilson as a rookie in practice, I actually

1313
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 4: do think they would be more hesitant. But there hasn't

1314
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 4: been that feel. It sounds like everything is on track

1315
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 4: enough and yeah, he's starting this game.

1316
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 3: That kind of stays and you talked about the Bengals

1317
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 3: backup QB scenario. But like these reports out of Buffalo

1318
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 3: that Kyle Allen and this is not a big surprise

1319
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 3: if you watched much Kyle Allen, like they have a

1320
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 3: serious issue at backup quarterback in Buffalo. That like if

1321
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 3: and you know Josh Allen, the same thing. If Josh

1322
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 3: Allen goes down, check you later. But they could be

1323
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 3: looking around.

1324
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 4: Didn't we see Kyle Allen uh win a football game overseas?

1325
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 4: Only so many quarterbacks have done that. Did they win

1326
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 4: that game? I can't even remember anymore. Jamis through like

1327
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 4: five interceptions in the Panthers.

1328
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, those bad performance, Mark Jonathan Taylor. A wall just

1329
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: clears the runway. Because it's Jake funk season.

1330
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 3: Baby exciting.

1331
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's.

1332
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 4: This is fun.

1333
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: That's good, that is fun.

1334
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 3: This is your time, baby, I mean to speak over

1335
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 3: this music is a tough, tough ad. But I know

1336
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 3: Jake Funky note flamed out with the Rams. Surprisingly, I

1337
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 3: think everyone was surprised that he didn't thrive there and

1338
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 3: everyone everyone, But now I think he's got a whole

1339
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 3: new opportunity. And look at like your star running back

1340
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 3: is obviously a little bit cowed by the idea of

1341
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 3: going up against Jake Vanished practice.

1342
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: Eleven funk seasons. Love those what running back?

1343
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 3: That is not what's happening here in a mondable.

1344
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 4: It's funny with all the budget cuts we could just

1345
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 4: afford such a quality session player back there.

1346
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 2: Just that's actually Eric Light got a keyboard and from

1347
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: He's like a guy that went viral on TikTok. He's

1348
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 2: a New York City guy and he's in his uh

1349
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 2: like his tidy whities in a bathroom rebel a love

1350
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 2: that guy.

1351
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 4: I will give credit to Randy though, He's the one

1352
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 4: he dug for that big.

1353
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Spot.

1354
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 2: For me, not surprising that Randy would be the guy

1355
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 2: that found the.

1356
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Funk that guy. That guy is funk.

1357
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 2: Jets at Carolina Panthers, Bryce Young, Rice Young, and you

1358
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: know he'll be up against the Jets defensive line is

1359
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: pretty wild. They they're deep, they got a lot of

1360
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 2: rotational rushers. I'm excited to see some of these guys,

1361
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: including their first round a pick Will McDonald and you

1362
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 2: look good last week too. Tremaine Johnson flashed is the

1363
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 2: first round of last year. He was like the other

1364
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: first rounder that was kind of forgotten, but he made

1365
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 2: an impact for them, and he's gonna have a bigger

1366
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 2: role this year. So those guys, I'm excited to kind

1367
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 2: of see them on the field getting after Young whose

1368
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 2: mobility is part of his game.

1369
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 3: How long do you like play Bryce Young? I think

1370
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 3: that's interesting because like the it's not the old school preseason,

1371
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 3: it's like the holes season. Your whole franchise pivots around

1372
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 3: this guy. Do you not treat him more?

1373
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Like?

1374
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: I want to see him too, because the whole yeah

1375
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 2: thing about his size and everything. Now we're gonna see

1376
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 2: him in an NFL game kind of with giant offensive

1377
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: linemen and huge front seven coming at him, like is

1378
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: it is it going to be jarring? Is he gonna

1379
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be one of those things like with

1380
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 2: Kyler for instance, or it was like, whoa, this guy's

1381
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 2: small as hell.

1382
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 3: Except his head. Yeah, it'd be like except jes will

1383
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 3: be like that.

1384
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 4: Like Jonathan Mingo was listed as a starter, one of

1385
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 4: my favorite rookie receivers, so they're not wasting any time

1386
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 4: with him.

1387
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 2: Jacksonville at Dallas, we didn't see a lot of Dallas

1388
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 2: receivers making plays with Ceedee Lamb out of practice on Monday.

1389
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: The guy really I want to see is Michael Gallop,

1390
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 2: but I just don't know what their plan is for him, but.

1391
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Would be interesting to see if he flashes.

1392
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 4: East Vaughn feels very much like a preseason since I

1393
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 4: can see that happening, Tank bi Bigsby. What a name?

1394
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 4: Tank Bigsby h and could it be a sneaky fantasy

1395
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 4: factor this year? He's almost certainly their backup running back

1396
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 4: in possibly their red zone. Guys had a nice camp

1397
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 4: and I feel like you need someone with Etn. I

1398
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 4: don't want to give Etn three hundred touches, so he's

1399
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 4: someone you don't like that much. I like him fine,

1400
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 4: but I don't think you want to give him three

1401
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 4: hundred touches. I feel like he'd be nice in a

1402
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:20,959
Speaker 4: in a chair.

1403
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby's real name Cartavius Bigsby.

1404
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 4: That's pretty good, though you should have just kept cartables.

1405
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 3: Tank is not a bad name too. You're so right

1406
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 3: a red zone hammer.

1407
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 2: Duce Vaughn is so the favorite to be preseason MVP

1408
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 2: because he plays for the Cowboys. They're trying to figure

1409
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 2: out things. His size leads to all that Deuce porn

1410
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 2: as we heard on Monday, he's gonna run for like

1411
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 2: seven hundred yards and that.

1412
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 3: You know, like you get to like to go to

1413
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 3: these practices in person, like you did mention the Bryce

1414
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 3: Young thing, like Douce Vaughan the human being compared to

1415
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 3: everyone else on the field, Like it's a reason to

1416
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 3: watch a Cowboys game alone.

1417
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: You don't see this very Just don't.

1418
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 2: Ask him to pick up a blitz with Dak Prescott

1419
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: behind center.

1420
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all. That doesn't go so well with Eagles

1421
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 3: at Baltimore Ravens. How about the Ravens. Uh, you know

1422
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 3: the way they treat the preseason and they're incredible. Oh streak,

1423
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 3: great call, Yeah, the dynasty.

1424
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: What is the streak? What are we up to?

1425
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 2: Let's see Ravens winning three. This is kind of what

1426
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 2: they're known for at this point in their franchise.

1427
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Twenty three straight. Think about this.

1428
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 2: This is I think unbreakable records in pro sports, Like,

1429
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, you throw them.

1430
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: Out there, you know, I don't know.

1431
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 2: Joe Diamagia fifty six game hitting streak, twenty three straight

1432
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: exhibition games, winning across what five or six years when

1433
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 2: you're not playing your starters, and and there's all sorts

1434
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 2: of things that can happen that that really don't matter

1435
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 2: and would end a game.

1436
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Imagine how many of these games have gone down.

1437
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Greg to the last couple of plays, because that's just

1438
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 2: how a lot of these preseason games go because nobody ties,

1439
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 2: so you just start doing crazy stuff and they've won

1440
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 2: them all.

1441
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 4: The streak is so long I would I would have

1442
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 4: to fact check, but I'm pretty sure Robert Griffin the

1443
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 4: third is like a big part of this streak as

1444
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 4: the Ravens.

1445
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 3: I like how they bring up Dustin Tucker to win

1446
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 3: the close ones. That is wild.

1447
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 4: The Eagles quietly signed a couple veteran linebackers this week,

1448
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 4: Myles Jack and Zach Cunningham. They clearly weren't happy with

1449
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 4: what they were seeing at linebacker. And I've seen some

1450
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 4: reports that Nolan Smith has really had a nice camp

1451
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 4: the rookie and if they've actually played him at off

1452
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 4: ball linebacker a little bit, which is kind of shocking

1453
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 4: because he's such a fast pass rusher, kind of like

1454
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 4: a Hassan Reddick guy. So he's some he's someone to

1455
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 4: watch because he could play a little more than maybe

1456
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 4: he was expected on a on a deep Eagles defense,

1457
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 4: but they're they're searching a little bit at linebacker.

1458
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 3: I would maybe, I mean, with with these reports that

1459
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 3: you know, Lamar is a little the fuddled in the offense,

1460
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 3: isn't looking that sharp, Like, I don't know, do you not?

1461
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 3: Do you just wait till week one to see how

1462
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:00,439
Speaker 3: things go with him?

1463
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: We just keep Odell and shrink wrap until September.

1464
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would do that, but I mean, there's something

1465
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 4: about this favorite group. I mean, Rashad Bateman just came

1466
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 4: off pop. I'm afraid Dave Flowers has supposedly been as advertised.

1467
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 2: Raven's just a little more context on this the streak

1468
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 2: the last loss September third, twenty fifteen.

1469
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 4: On that day, twenty fifteen.

1470
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 2: On that day, Ravens star quarterback. This is from Fox Sports.

1471
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson made his debut for the Louisville Cardinals two

1472
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 2: days after that twenty to nineteen defeat to the Falcons

1473
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 2: to finish the twenty fifteen preseason on A three.

1474
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: This game is huge.

1475
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 2: They're laying wood six points to the Eagles, so they're

1476
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: they're a pretty heavy favorite.

1477
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 4: And it'd be funny if he continues because they I

1478
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 4: think they play Washington every year. It's just like, you

1479
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 4: know local, why not Belt? It'd be funny if Attle

1480
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 4: at the Belt with RIVERA just was like, I'm sick

1481
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 4: of this freaking streak. I'm sick of and just like

1482
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 4: played all of his starters.

1483
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 2: Sam Just like Sam Howe, you're giving me four quarters

1484
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 2: and forty pass to day, I'm gonna win this game.

1485
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 4: They lose, right, I guess the quarterback wouldn't be great either,

1486
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 4: But like you play your entire awesome defensive line for

1487
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 4: three quarters, you're calling trick plays.

1488
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: Someone should do that. It's time for somebody. It cannot

1489
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: extend through this year.

1490
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:25,919
Speaker 2: In fact, I might go the other way and route

1491
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 2: against the streak, just for the drama of it. At

1492
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 2: this point, the second longest winning streak, by the way,

1493
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 2: is the Buffalo Bills, who.

1494
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: Have won ninth straight. That's a lot too.

1495
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 3: Is that tells you how tough this this Shore would.

1496
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Be a battle.

1497
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,479
Speaker 2: That's so far Chargers at Rams think about in terms

1498
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 2: of energy and electricity. Six Taylor Swift shows in seven nights,

1499
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:48,919
Speaker 2: and then you go straight to the battle for Los

1500
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Angeles Chargers Rams preseason.

1501
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 3: It just gets more I'm going to this game, so

1502
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 3: I can't wait game getting paid for that. No, I'm

1503
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 3: gonna go. As for myself, it's rude. You're going with

1504
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 3: your kids, right, I'm.

1505
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Taking them to a different Rams game.

1506
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: This one. I am going in a different, different situation.

1507
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 3: But I just want to go see what it's like.

1508
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 4: I've been to I believe I've been to three Rams

1509
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 4: Chargers games since so far is open. Maybe it's only two.

1510
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 4: You know that these are two teams. I don't play

1511
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 4: a lot of starters. Unfortunately, Kyrin Williams is maybe someone

1512
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 4: who watch the back up running back. The Rams are

1513
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 4: gonna have to play more guys that are going to

1514
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 4: be starters because they don't know who their starters are.

1515
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 3: Well, they're kind of if you're a Rams fan, it's

1516
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 3: like it's not it's sort of depressing time a little bit,

1517
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 3: but like you're kind of relearning an entire roster.

1518
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember so many guys.

1519
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 4: Josh Palmer had a big game in this in this

1520
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 4: Battle of l A last year, and you know what

1521
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 4: he ended up having it.

1522
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: I'll sell this one.

1523
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any team in the league that

1524
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: fashions itself competitive and potentially a playoff team where the

1525
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 2: preseason is more important than it is for Sean McVeigh

1526
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: and the Rams to find some bodies on that defense

1527
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 2: and establish some type of cohesively.

1528
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 3: I wonderful get to see people walking around in the

1529
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 3: sh it's with the and and the ambersons like the

1530
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 3: slogan trick if you're on the side.

1531
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and let's see if they've Let's see if they've

1532
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 4: upgraded the concession situation, because this is the nicest stadium

1533
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 4: in the league. It's beautiful. Can the food's terrible?

1534
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 3: What about the the lady with the axe? Is she

1535
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 3: going to be there?

1536
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: Is it that's a RAMS thing or a Chargers thing?

1537
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 2: Well, it's Rams and it's a game, then you got

1538
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 2: you should have her unless she's on tour.

1539
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: She's very successful.

1540
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 3: I don't know if she does preseason though, but she

1541
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 3: would have to start to practice and.

1542
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 2: Get and I would say, Mark, if you're if you're,

1543
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 2: if you're going to the game, which you are, bring

1544
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 2: your shoulder pads. You might like they might be like,

1545
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: I need I need a body to get out there,

1546
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 2: and I need a safety.

1547
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I need a free safety.

1548
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh if they'd let me in with that kind of stuff.

1549
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 1: I'll bring them in uh chiefs at Saints.

1550
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 2: How about this the Derek Carr goes to New Orleans

1551
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: and there he is right right back to playing uh

1552
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 2: Andy Reid in Kansas City and showdown.

1553
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if we'll see him on Sunday.

1554
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 3: We'll see.

1555
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 4: We'll probably see some Jamis.

1556
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 3: They might.

1557
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 4: I think they might be trying to advert ties Janey.

1558
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 4: If they like Jake Hayner enough their rookie quarterback, and

1559
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 4: if he plays well in the preseason, I feel like

1560
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 4: Winston could be had for a song if anyone is

1561
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 4: out there.

1562
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of that surprised me, but I read Eric

1563
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 2: at Holm, who we just had in the show, did

1564
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: a nice kind of ramp up to preseason week one

1565
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 2: on NFL dot Com Check it out, and he noted that,

1566
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, there's a real battle here for QB two

1567
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 2: and if Winston goes from starting quarterback to can't even

1568
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 2: be the backup. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense

1569
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 2: for a bunch of teams who are looking for a

1570
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 2: guy that has experience in some level of skill.

1571
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 3: It just seemed like this between him and Dennis Allen,

1572
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 3: like last year, things just seem a little weird behind

1573
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 3: the scenes. I'm almost surprised he's even I still there.

1574
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 4: I am very surprised he's still there. Chiefs actually have

1575
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 4: like a decent amount of interesting position battles. We mentioned

1576
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 4: generic Prince Rishie Rice, Rookies justin.

1577
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Ross first, Jake at quarterback since Locker Plumber Locker was

1578
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 2: after Plumber Dell home, Jake alone, Brisket, Cha Kobe, but yeah,

1579
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 2: he's Jake Brisket.

1580
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah it's us anyway.

1581
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 2: Finally San Francisco at Las Vegas. Yeah, there you got Sam.

1582
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 2: This is it, Bud Trey Lance versus Sam Donald. Is

1583
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 2: how I see this? Who's gonna be the backup slash

1584
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 2: waiting in the wings if Rock Party struggles or isn't

1585
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: physically right and then hold on tight if you got

1586
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:37,919
Speaker 2: a chance to play in a game that matters.

1587
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

1588
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 2: And the Trey Lance of it all is remains to

1589
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 2: me intriguing because of his pedigree.

1590
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 3: And I'm not like I've become almost convinced that Shanahan

1591
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 3: prefers Sam Donald at this point that like I you know,

1592
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 3: not unlike Jameis Winston, is the whole endgame here to

1593
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 3: maybe move Trey Lance because you know, other teams know

1594
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 3: nothing about him, but there's all this potential and like,

1595
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 3: if they're gonna one of them, it could be him.

1596
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 3: But uh, won't see brock Purty. But I'm actually really

1597
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 3: interested to see Sam Darnold after you know, his head

1598
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 3: coach called him a Steve Young look alike in the offense.

1599
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 3: Is that just hyperbole to try to stir up Trey

1600
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 3: Lance or what know?

1601
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 2: You guys would get mad at me when I ever

1602
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 2: even brought him up in recent years. But Kyle Shanahan

1603
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 2: starts talking him up, and now it's like, yeah, but

1604
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: we got to see this guy.

1605
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when you pair him with Shanahan, you've.

1606
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,560
Speaker 2: Gotten Gregg's out here saying that Sam Donald is the

1607
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,560
Speaker 2: biggest bust in the history of the quarterback position in

1608
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 2: the NFL.

1609
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 3: A couple of good movies that.

1610
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 4: I said he was on the list.

1611
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I never was on the list, but you said he

1612
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 1: was on the list.

1613
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 3: He still is.

1614
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 4: The numbers say it. The numbers say he's been one

1615
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 4: of the very worst quarterbacks in the league since the

1616
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 4: minute he got drafted. And he was a top five pick.

1617
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 4: So what more do you need?

1618
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 2: Because it's not very at some point beyond the just

1619
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 2: the statistics, it's the where he was.

1620
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 4: Well, you think, like Jimmy Clausen and all these other

1621
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 4: guys that are thought of his huge bus were like

1622
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 4: in great situations.

1623
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,879
Speaker 2: Now, well, I'm just saying in nuance that he actually

1624
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 2: can play. I think he can if he gets the opportunity.

1625
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't think Laston could play no matter where you play.

1626
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 2: I think consistent, but you can see it.

1627
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 4: I think he had a five He had a five

1628
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 4: game stretch last year that was easily better than any

1629
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 4: five game stretch of his career where he looked like

1630
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 4: a decent backup.

1631
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: Well, I hope he gets a job and I hope

1632
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: he sticks it.

1633
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 4: Well, his numbers will be great. Nick Mullins, you know,

1634
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 4: has has like a higher yards per attempt to start

1635
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 4: his career than any quarterback in NFL history. It's like

1636
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 4: you walk out of the get out of bed with

1637
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,719
Speaker 4: the eight yards per attempt in this offense.

1638
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was kind of I'd mentioned that last week.

1639
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't know whoever is the quarterback this offense is

1640
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: going to be good, but Steve Young that throws righty,

1641
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 2: so it's like, maybe go with him.

1642
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Sam Donald, I always said was why couldn't he be

1643
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 4: another Steve Young, which is like, yeah, why couldn't have

1644
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 4: already four or five years into his career. It was

1645
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 4: a little like people didn't think of Steve.

1646
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 2: You know, given how easy it is quarterback to thrive

1647
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 2: in this offense, makes Sam Donald throw lefty, really make

1648
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 2: him Steve Ye?

1649
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: Sure?

1650
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,560
Speaker 3: Well, Steve Young was also kicking butt in the USFL.

1651
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't like he had right.

1652
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 4: In the and the forty nine ers actually gave up

1653
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 4: I believe a lot for Steve Young, whereas Sam Darnold

1654
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 4: was freely available for low price.

1655
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: I'll give you something freely available, all right. That's it.

1656
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 2: So we'll be back on Monday with kind of a

1657
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 2: look back at all all of these games and uh.

1658
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll see what we could take from them.

1659
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna step into the competition cauldron on Monday. I'm

1660
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:33,759
Speaker 4: excited for exactly.

1661
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:43,160

Speaker 1: Right?

1664
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 4: I don't think so.

1665
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: I thought we moved it up to Wednesday. Yeah, I

1666
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: missed that.

1667
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 3: A lot of guests, a lot of guests, bigger summar.

1668

Speaker 1: Reason.

1669
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:56,919
Speaker 4: I thought it was the following week.

1670
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: Well originally was, and then we kind of said, maybe,

1671
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 2: will set it up to make sure we give as

1672
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 2: many people the chance to listen to it before the draft.

1673
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 2: So we we we have that show coming up with
