It's not always guarantee you. 42 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 6: Pinky toe is small, and you know what, I'm thirty five. 43 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: Maybe I got a future ahead of it. You never know. 44 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: The Saints draft of the twenty five year old cores 45 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: you never know. 46 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 4: There's always a chan fully guaranteed contract, all right, But 47 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: from what as far as I can tell, in the NFL. 48 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: There's a few different ways that you can get a job, right. 49 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 4: You can either win that job out, like through just 50 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 4: being better than the other person who's ahead of you 51 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: in that position. That person who's ahead of you in 52 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 4: that position can get hurt or do something disciplinary to 53 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: where they're no longer they're suspended for that game. Then 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you step in, you have three interceptions, 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, that person is now demoted. 56 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 57 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: Mo Lewis Hits, Drew Bloodsholl, Tom Brady late round pick 58 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: walks into you know, Foxborough and history after that. 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: Right, you see this all the time. Kirk Cousins was 60 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: a fourth. 61 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: Round draft pick in Washington who, in the same draft 62 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 4: where a guy was drafted with the in the first 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: round three three right, ended up Kirk Cousins is the 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 4: guy that ended up getting the multiple and obviously to 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 4: get a long term but the multiple franchise tags he 66 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: got paid in Washington and then went on to have 67 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 4: the long career. 68 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: The last one I can think of. 69 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: Dak Prescott was not a starter in the NFL until 70 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 4: Tony Romo's back hurt ah and then once Tony Romo's 71 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 4: back stopped hurting. 72 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: Tony Romo was then a backup. So when I perused. 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: The Internet and Elon Musk's Twitter and the various sports 74 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: television shows, and I see people of repute saying that 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 4: Dion Sander, I mean Shador Sanders, he's being sabotaged because 76 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: he is getting the opportunity to start Friday. It doesn't 77 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 4: necessarily square with what I believe to be true. But again, 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of NFL experience, and my 79 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: NFL experience r NFL experience pales the comparison to mine. 80 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 6: Is this a possibility sabotized? That sabotized is an interesting. 81 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: Word, like break that down for me. 82 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 6: So the way that I see it, the way the 83 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 6: reports have come out, can he Piickett is dealing with 84 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 6: the hamstring injury. Dylan Gabriel is also dealing with the 85 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 6: hamstring injury. Joe Flacco is the presumptive. 86 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 3: So he's got an injury when he gets out of 87 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: the bed. 88 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 6: But they want him to be the starting quarterbacks, so 89 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 6: they want to keep him available. Well, if the other 90 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 6: two guys are down, that moves Shador Sanders up. So 91 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 6: it's not a To me, it's not a sabotage situation. 92 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 6: It's a tremendous opportunity national TV. Everyone's been clamoring to 93 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 6: see him. Whether you love him or hate him, everyone 94 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 6: wants to see him. He has an opportunity to kind 95 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 6: of change some of the narrative around him and his 96 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 6: game if he shows up and shows out, because now 97 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 6: he creates a conversation that they have to deal with 98 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 6: in the building, because if he plays well, that conversation 99 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 6: now comes inside the building because everything at the pressor 100 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 6: is going to be always he compete for the job, 101 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 6: right is he that? So to me, this is a 102 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 6: great opportunity to me, is actually a no lose situation 103 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 6: for Shudr Sanders. 104 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 3: Okay, break down. 105 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 4: Why do you say it's a no lose situation because 106 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: I definitely see a way that there could be losses here. 107 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 6: Now there's no lose. So he comes in. He was 108 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 6: fourth on the depth chart already, right, he was a 109 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 6: fifth round pick, so he's the last one to the table. 110 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 6: So if he falters, then everyone is like, well, this 111 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 6: is why we took him in the fifth round, because 112 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 6: he wasn't better than Dylan Gable in the third can 113 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 6: he pick up was a free agent and Joe Flacco 114 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 6: is to whatever? So that that's worst case, that's where 115 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 6: he started. 116 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 5: He wasn't getting rest with the ones anyway. Okay, can 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 5: I see what he's saying? Why what if he plays 118 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 5: right and plays well? 119 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 6: Now it changes the pecking quorder a little bit and 120 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 6: it puts more pressure on the other guys to play well. 121 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: Because that's the thing that I find too. There's two 122 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: things here that I've find that I think that people 123 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: missing this conversation. The first one is Joe Flacco is 124 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: the starter. He has been named the starter, if not 125 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: already officially named the starter. You could write it in pen. 126 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: They just haven't turned the card in yet. You know 127 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: what it's like, seriously, And the only reason why is 128 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 4: because the deadline hasn't come. He's the starter, you know, 129 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: Hawaii know he's the starter because he doesn't have to 130 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 4: compete like everybody else does. That's how you know he's 131 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 4: the starter. When the starter can go, he's gonna be 132 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: our guy. Now they've decided that that guy is Joe 133 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 4: Flacco for what Hey whatever, I just I'm reporting the facts, 134 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: all right, for the facts. Now, if it's and I'll say, 135 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 4: if it's true, I'm not debating the reporters. 136 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like this, in this scenario, right, if. 137 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: It's true, he's not getting any reps with the ones 138 00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: at practice. It seems to me that the best opportunity 139 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 4: and honestly maybe. 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 3: The only opportunity. 141 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 4: That shit Door Sanders would have to make this roster 142 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: as a backup quarterback as the two is in preseason 143 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: games on TV, because if it's happening, it apparently is 144 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 4: not getting the opportunity in practice earned sabotaged whatever right 145 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 4: for whatever reason, when they got how many guys they 146 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: got out there, not like seventy five now or so 147 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: like out of those ninety guys, they've decided that if 148 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 4: three people they'd rather be playing quarterback before him, now 149 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: they're not available. This is the But the conversation if 150 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: he comes out and just does I say, just does, 151 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 4: like I could go out there and do it. But 152 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: he goes out there and plays like Trey Lanceton in 153 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 4: the first half, that conversation is going to Monday morning 154 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 4: is going to be the front page of the Cleveland 155 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 4: Playing Dealer is going to be Send Joe Flack on 156 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 4: to carpool lane. I want this guy to be my 157 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 4: starting quarterback, right, and that puts the pressure on now. 158 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: I really only think he really has to play better 159 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 4: in this competition than Dylan Gabriel, right, Like. I think 160 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: like cause they're kind of fighting again for that third spot. 161 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: And I get where you're saying it's a no lose 162 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: situation because going to play four, Lea's in the same 163 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: spot he's in. That's the spot I feel like he's in. 164 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 4: They're fighting for that third spot in Cleveland. It's kind of, 165 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: in my opinion, keeping their fingers crossed that somebody would 166 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: call them and be like, I will offer you a 167 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 4: sixth round pick for Kenny Pickett. You know, I'll offer 168 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 4: you a seventh thrown pick for Kenny Pickett. Yeah, So, 169 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: I mean the there definitely is that ten the Macks. 170 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: Prior to Kenny Pickett's injury, I felt like there were 171 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: two quarterback competitions going on, not one. It was between 172 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett and Joe Fla go to be the starter, 173 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 4: and then who's going to be a QB two between 174 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 4: Dylan Gable and Shooter or sin Right. My expectation is 175 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: both the rookies are gonna make the team, Dylan Gabriel, 176 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: you draft them in the third round, you're paying them 177 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 4: too much to cut them right out the gate. 178 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 5: Sudrea Sanders. 179 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 6: If you were going to cut him, you're not gonna 180 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 6: be able to entertain the possibility of bringing them back 181 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 6: to the practice well, because somebody else will snatch them up. Sure, 182 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 6: because now all these stuff, the draft stuff is done, 183 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 6: like now you can take him and just like he's 184 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 6: a bargain basement deal. 185 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: He's in the system now. 186 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: So also to that point real quick, the salary cap 187 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: number and not the nerd out at quarterback is so 188 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: great for the Browns with the Sean watching that that 189 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 4: also is just heavily as son of my reason to 190 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: keep two rookie contracts. 191 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 5: Two small ones. 192 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 6: Joe Flacco is on a one year Like I mean, 193 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 6: it's it makes sense for them to be like we're 194 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 6: gonna go with an older guy and then two younger guys, right, 195 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 6: and for Kenny Pickett or whoever loses between those guys, 196 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 6: somebody hopefully will call because inefinitely there's going to be 197 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 6: an injury in the preseason, somebody's gonna need some depth, 198 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 6: or someone underperforms or whatever, and so that'll create an 199 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 6: opportunity for them someone to trade Cleveland for one of 200 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 6: the older arterbacks, which is what they were likely hoping 201 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,359 Speaker 6: for when they got through the draft. 202 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: Right and so and but the thing here what I 203 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: find now, tell me if this is off base, because 204 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: I don't think it is. But one of the things 205 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: they talk about, like an NBA summer league, it's like, oh, 206 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 4: you're really auditioning for all the teams, like you might 207 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 4: play for the Magic on Thursday and then you waved 208 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 4: and then by Friday, you're now suiting up for the 209 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: Heat like type of deal in the summer league, and 210 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 4: it was because you're trying to get a spot into 211 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: the league. 212 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: Shit door. Sanders obstensibly is trying. 213 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 4: Out for everybody on Friday, and it's gonna be like 214 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 4: it'll be the highest out, go out and the lim 215 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: it'll be the highest rated preseason at least first half 216 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: and ten years, right like, like without a doubt, Like 217 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 4: people are going to be locked into this, yes, and 218 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 4: so every like not just us, but fans, haters, media 219 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 4: and everybody like y'all scouts looking for another arm And 220 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 4: when I see him, like when I saw him in college, 221 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 4: I did not see a fifth round pick. Now, I 222 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 4: also get paid to evaluate talent, but I didn't see 223 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: a fifth round pick. 224 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 3: I thought it was a stretch at first, but like 225 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,119 Speaker 3: third round felt. 226 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 5: Right, So it's worst. 227 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, So to me, I saw him as a bottom 228 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 6: of the first round talent. I thought, look, I assume 229 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 6: and still believe that he's gonna be the best of 230 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 6: all the ones in the class. That's what I felt 231 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 6: like when I watched him in Colorado. I continue to 232 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 6: feel that way. I won't I won't get off of that. 233 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 4: Well, that's not that's not a hot like it may 234 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 4: sound hot, but it's really not. 235 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not. 236 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 6: I'm just saying, like, based on what every coach and 237 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 6: everyone has always talked about. They talked about two things 238 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 6: that are really important at quarterback, accuracy and decision making, 239 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 6: And to me, he was best in show in acrecy 240 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 6: and decision making. Arm Talent is not what caam Ward's 241 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 6: was or some of the other guys. Athleticism isn't what 242 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 6: some of the other guys. But in terms of doing 243 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 6: the things that everyone has told us our most important 244 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 6: to the success at quarterback, he does those things really 245 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 6: well and not that we're counting stats in training camp 246 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 6: or whatever. But people have said he's been on the 247 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 6: mark in training camp. So my expectation is if he's 248 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 6: been on the mark playing with threes and fours against 249 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 6: the two defense or whatever, he's gonna play against the 250 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 6: twos and threes in the preseason game, he should look 251 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 6: won't say great, but he should be looking really really 252 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 6: good based on how he's performed. He's playing against backups, 253 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 6: vanilla coverages, he should be My expectation is he's gonna 254 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 6: play really really well against that because it's gonna be 255 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 6: very vanilla static. 256 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 5: Looks nothing crazy. 257 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: Okay, So take me inside the mind of the coaches 258 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 4: front office as they're watching him Friday night. What are 259 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 4: they looking for to see? Okay, this is an improvement? 260 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: Oh what? Oh? 261 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 4: He missed this, So that's why we're knocking him down 262 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 4: a peg, Like, how can he have raise his status 263 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: on the death chart Friday night even though those guys 264 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 4: are hurt. 265 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 5: Well, here's what I say. 266 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 6: The most movement that you're on the depth chart is 267 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 6: after this game, and it's because everything that we've done 268 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 6: prior to this in the offseason. OTA's MENI camp workouts 269 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 6: that's all great in shorts, but now we're playing real ball, 270 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 6: and in real ball, people change, some people show up, 271 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 6: some people fall back, and so this is a chance 272 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 6: for him if he shows up for people. 273 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 5: To be like, oh, he is a legit baller, like 274 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 5: he literally. 275 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 6: Can play, and that will change the natter and that 276 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 6: will start the reconfiguring in the tweaking of the depth chart. 277 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 6: Because remember there are only three preseason games, so this 278 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 6: is a big one. The last one is not even 279 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 6: really ad dress rehearsal. The second one is the dress rehearsal. 280 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 6: So he has an opportunity to head a stage to him, say, 281 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 6: he may play the whole game, right, he might play 282 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 6: the entire game, and so he has the entire stage 283 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 6: to himself. 284 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 5: That is significant for him if he's able to show and. 285 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: Prove that's what That's the way I take it, and 286 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: it I thought it was that I saw people saying 287 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 4: that this was sabotaged because he had in practice with 288 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 4: those guys, and I'm gonna. 289 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 6: Figure you gotta figure out now that some of this 290 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 6: is you gotta figure out because guess what if you're 291 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 6: a backup quarterback in the National Football League, exactly you 292 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 6: don't get many reps in practice. 293 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 5: Exactly, make it four or five. 294 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 6: Starter goes down, Hey, get up, you ready, and you 295 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 6: have to figure out how to operate, how to go, 296 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 6: how to make this work. And this will be I mean, 297 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 6: he's lucky that he has a few days to prepare 298 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 6: his mind for being the starting quarterback. Most guys don't 299 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 6: get that when you're the backup. So this is we'll 300 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 6: get a chance. 301 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: To see how he handleson I mean, you know, I 302 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 4: watched Baker Mayfield be a Carolina Panther on Monday and 303 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 4: win a game and lose me a bet for the 304 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 4: veager of the Rams. 305 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 6: Because you went to the Rams and you didn't bet 306 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 6: on them. You didn't think, no way Baker Mayfield is 307 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 6: gonna come off the streets. 308 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: You know what, Bucky, I'm not. 309 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: I don't consider myself a great handicapper, but I am 310 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 4: pretty good. 311 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: You know what. But I silly me. 312 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: I thought that, well, the other team's quarterbacks only been 313 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 4: on the team for two days. The team that had 314 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 4: the quarterbacks this training camp should probably win mm hmm. 315 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: But then I forgot they were coached by Josh McDaniel. 316 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 5: Here's a lot of super Bowls. 317 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: Understand, Yeah, how many was he the head coach for? 318 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 5: I mean yeah, whoops? 319 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: All right? 320 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: Coming up, XT dive into some more of these training 321 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 4: camp battles, because there's like there's sometimes there's battles. 322 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 3: This is like more of a training camp argument. 323 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 4: And I want to get Bucky's take on this as 324 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: a guy who would have some knowledge on it. 325 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: We'll get to that in just a minute. 326 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 4: Martin Weiss Bucky Brooks in for Rob Parker and Calvin 327 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 4: Washington on the couple. 328 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 329 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: the nation.

I hope the audience does 342 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 4: as well when you actually have somebody who is like 343 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 4: in the business of the NFL, especially in the like 344 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: the front office, scouting and working around in that business 345 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 4: and guys who are doing the evaluations all the time, 346 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 4: because that's what I find to be one of the 347 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 4: more fascinating ways of just team building and how you. 348 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 3: Decide where to go here, where to go there. 349 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 4: Like just in the last segment, we're talking about how 350 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: just financially, whether it was Joe Smith and you know 351 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 4: John Smith, it makes more sense for the Cleveland Browns 352 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 4: to take two rookies at quarterback because the Deshaun Watson's cabinet, 353 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,359 Speaker 4: right you know what I'm saying is just just and 354 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: the way the Sheba and all these things work is 355 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 4: essentially the rules for teams, right like like obviously each 356 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: team when they're playing a game has rules. And remember 357 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 4: Bill Belichick used to manipulate the rules in a way 358 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 4: or find loophole famously and be able to do like okay, 359 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 4: and don't even I'm not talking about the videotaping. I'm 360 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 4: talking about legitimately special team things are like, oh, if 361 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 4: you if you get two delay of games that actually 362 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 4: reverts back to this or that, and you know, things 363 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 4: that the NFL may not have checked on or hell, 364 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 4: the tush push, for example, kind of against the rules 365 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 4: sort of but maybe not right. And until then, we're 366 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 4: gonna keep doing it until somebody tells me. And so 367 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 4: when I'm looking at the way that these camp battles 368 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 4: are evaluated, had hard knocks launched yesterday, the Buffalo Bills 369 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 4: obviously no competition at their quarterback position. 370 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: They'd like it to be less. 371 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 4: No competition that running back, but you go, he's holding out, 372 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 4: and then you have all these other competitions along the board. 373 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 4: I'm wondering, like, how realistic, generally is it that you 374 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 4: could see a seventh round undrafted guy beating out or 375 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 4: getting the opportunities getting the reps to beat out a 376 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 4: second round or first round guy. 377 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 5: It has to be a legitimate. 378 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 6: Conversation and situation between the front office and the coaching 379 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 6: staff where part of your philosophy, your mission statement is 380 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 6: we provide opportunities to everyone who walks in the door. 381 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 6: We don't have a roster that's already set when we 382 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 6: head to training camp. We are legitimately giving guys chances 383 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 6: to make the roster. Years ago to Seattle, Seahawks operated 384 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 6: off of that, Pete Carroll will say, hey man, we'll 385 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 6: give anybody an opportunity to play. Don't worry about those things. 386 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 6: Whatever you come in as, it doesn't matter. Once you 387 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 6: get here, we're gonna judge you based on the merit 388 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 6: of what you've done here. Baltimore Ravens used to operate 389 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 6: like that. Most teams don't operate under that premise, though 390 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 6: a lot of teams are guarding their desks. If you 391 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 6: could use that term, if I draft you, you're gonna 392 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 6: make the team, because if I drafted and I cut you, 393 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 6: then it looks like we didn't do a good job 394 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 6: of drafting. So everyone who's drafted has to make the team, 395 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 6: or I'm a practice squad or whatever. So it is 396 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 6: really dependent upon if the coaching staff in the front 397 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 6: offs really believe in an open competition. That doesn't matter 398 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 6: what your pedigree is. You come in here, you have 399 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 6: to earn everything. Everyone doesn't operate under that. 400 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 4: So how as somebody from the outside how am I 401 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 4: supposed to identify who's you know what I'm saying, like 402 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 4: the reality of these situations, right, because I know famously 403 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 4: Pete Carroll is like that. 404 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: That's how you end up with Russell Wilson. 405 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 4: Again, maybe he was sabotaged as well, but he wasn't 406 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 4: taking the reps with the ones until he was and 407 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 4: then he got the job, yes, right, and he beat 408 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 4: out Matt Flynn, who had thrown for five touchdowns on 409 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 4: the hapless Lions as a backup and made more money 410 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: than he did like his whole career in that one 411 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 4: moment and never even started for the Seahawks because he 412 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 4: got beat out in training camp. 413 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 3: I don't think that's happening this year though for the 414 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: Sea Yawk. Like where else is that? 415 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 4: How can I, as a fan who's locked in, be 416 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 4: able to evaluate where that's happening and where it's not. 417 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 6: I mean, it's a rarity, and in terms of watching 418 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 6: it happen, I would say two places where at quarterback 419 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 6: the competitions were three phrases. It would be Cleveland. I 420 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 6: feel like it would be a legit competition. 421 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 5: New Orleans. 422 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 6: They have no idea who's gonna start Tyler Shutt, Spencer Ratler, 423 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 6: and then you talk about the Indianapolis Coast. Anthony Richardson 424 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 6: is starting, but he and Daniel Jones. The money tell 425 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 6: you that Daniel Jones might be the starter based on 426 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 6: how much they're pan them, but Bridgeton is the first 427 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 6: one with the ball. So those appear to be legitimate competitions. 428 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 6: But there's so many things that are baked in the 429 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 6: cap when you're trying to determine who wins the job. 430 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 6: It's not just the game that practices happits that you 431 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 6: exhibit in the film room. How does the team respond 432 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 6: to each player at the position. 433 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 5: There's a lot to it. 434 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 6: So when you make that, I mean, it's the biggest 435 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 6: decision that you can make, But when you make that, 436 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 6: you have to make sure that you feel great about 437 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 6: how the team is going to receive that decision. 438 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: That's the other thing I think about what like, not 439 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 4: necessarily directly with Shador, but a lot of these later 440 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: around or backup quarterbacks. 441 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 5: It's like, after a while, like with the forty. 442 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 4: Nine ers, for example, I didn't believe in brock Party, 443 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: But you know what did make me believe in Brock 444 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 4: Party is the way that. Literally all of them were like, nah, 445 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 4: I know he's just having thrown pick. I am making 446 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 4: allowances for the fact that you may doubt him, but 447 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 4: this guy can get us to the super Bowl. And 448 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 4: I was still like, wow, you know, yeah, he's not 449 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: very fast, had arms under you know. They're like, look, 450 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: I don't care. He can do it. And sure enough 451 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 4: he was able to. And is he like a top 452 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 4: level like is he in the Mount Rushmore top quarterback? No, 453 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: but he's good enough and he's what they like and 454 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 4: he's doing for them. 455 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 6: And those teams that are willing to take a chance 456 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 6: on a player like that, let's say San Francisco, they 457 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 6: go all in because they believe in what they believe in. 458 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 5: They don't worry about. 459 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 6: What the outside world says about their picks, their opinions 460 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 6: and those things. And like brock, Priddy is the biggest 461 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 6: and anomaly, the biggest surprise. But in a brock Pretty situation, 462 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 6: it allows. 463 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 5: You to be like, all, r I brock Pretty did it. 464 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 6: I certainly can see Sudew Sanders coming and being a 465 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 6: fifth round pick and eventually being the guy that does 466 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 6: a franchise quarterback. 467 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 4: I mean, stranger things have happened. Definitely, stranger things have happened, 468 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 4: but you know what's also strange, and Minnesota Twins have 469 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 4: traded their entire roster and in the last few days 470 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: have smoked the Detroit Tigers. 471 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: So Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup 472 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: in the nation.

Listen, 483 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford is thirty seven some years old, right, thirty 484 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 4: eight years old, nearly forty. What Joe Flacco is doing 485 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 4: is just not working out, and they're not just giving 486 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 4: them They just saying, look, it's just because they might 487 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 4: as well put. 488 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 5: In Brethes Oldo. That's what we're talking about. 489 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 4: Old That's what I feel like we're talking about with 490 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford right now. Like I get the report that 491 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 4: he had an epidural in his back, and I'm not 492 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 4: downplaying that at all. I'm not saying that it's light 493 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 4: work or anything like that. But just I will not 494 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 4: be concerned about Matthew Stafford until I see that he 495 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 4: is not like an actual actually doubtful for week one, 496 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 4: and week one has to be like two weeks away. 497 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, now it's time. It's time. 498 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 6: I mean, here's what we know about the Rams. The 499 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 6: Rams don't want to play their stars in the preseason. 500 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 6: They want to get to the starting line with everybody 501 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 6: ready and available to play. So that we understand that 502 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford, whatever he's dealing with, rest assured. There's a 503 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 6: there's a confidence that he'll be back for Week one, 504 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 6: ready to go. And when he goes, man, this offense 505 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 6: is gonna be.

I understand everything I just said. 528 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: But remember it's August sixth today, correct, Yeah, August sixth, 529 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 4: you're telling me about Matthew Stafford's back. 530 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 3: Unconcerned Now we. 531 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 5: Get into the twenties, Yeah, I'm a little more worried. 532 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 4: Right as we're approaching labor day. If he's still taking 533 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 4: up for thirs like he's in labor then a word. 534 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 6: You said it, You said it perfectly. Matthew Stafford. Oh one, 535 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 6: I just just put it out. Everyone is like, Okay, he. 536 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: Just but this is also what I just. 537 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 4: Humor me because again, we are going to watch the 538 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 4: most jude preseason game in the history of preseason on Friday. 539 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: And I think that Jimmy Garoppolo has what three football 540 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 4: games four football games left in him in a row? 541 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying. 542 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 4: Like, I'm not saying he might be able to play 543 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 4: one here and it take a couple weeks off to 544 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 4: play another, but a row, you know what I'm saying, Like, 545 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 4: in a row, I don't think he got that much 546 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 4: more left. And I don't think Tedtson Bennet's got NFL 547 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 4: football in them at all. No disrespect to anybody all 548 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: parties involved, but Rams do have two first round picks. 549 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 3: I've heard the scuttle but that they're all locked in 550 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: on arch Manning. 551 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 4: I've only seen arch Manning shake one safety from UTSA 552 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 4: so far in his college career, so I don't know 553 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 4: that's going to turn out. 554 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 3: Apparently they have. 555 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 4: Canceled the Heisman Trophy ceremony because arts Man he's got 556 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 4: it right. But if Shador goes out there and plays, well, 557 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: I'm not worried about Stafford now, but again conceptually, I 558 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 4: am always worried about Stafford because he's old, I mean 559 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 4: years old, and so. 560 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: You got two first round picks. Youre all types of ammunition. 561 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 4: I could see the Rams trying to be one of 562 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 4: those teams to acquire a quarterback before week one of 563 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 4: the season. And I mean, interestingly, I love it if 564 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: Shador was one of them. That'd be just fun for 565 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 4: me and RTR rooting for radio. But am I off 566 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 4: on that because it feels like they should be on 567 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 4: in on this. 568 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 6: It feels like they should be but for whatever reason, Yeah, 569 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 6: but these are interesting times when it comes to quarterback 570 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 6: play and who crushes it, who's next coming or whatever. 571 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 6: And with these older quarterbacks, you ain't counting them like 572 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 6: that's just what it is. With the young guys, it's 573 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 6: not only are they experience enough, but enough around them 574 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 6: to elevate their games. Can you challenge them in different 575 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 6: ways to not be long ball hits, but can tend 576 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 6: to not always go for the big stuff and take 577 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 6: the check down and manage the team and do all 578 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 6: this other stuff. It's a very unique situation that I'm 579 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 6: be honest with you, These preseason games don't shed enough 580 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 6: light on what you need to see to make the 581 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 6: determination and who's going to be the best one for us? 582 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 4: And so am I putting words in your mouth to 583 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 4: say that you find that out during these joint practices. 584 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 6: Yes, because in joint practices, which are better than preseason games, 585 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 6: you get the intensity of a game because you got 586 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 6: ones versus one's best versus breast. 587 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 5: But it's a controlled environment. 588 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 6: So I get all the ratcheted up stuff that I 589 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 6: get when I see another team, but I'm protected because 590 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 6: we're not taking people to the ground, We're not unleashing 591 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 6: way less shots on quarterbacks and receivers in those things. 592 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 5: It's really the best of both worlds. 593 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 6: Quality work in an environment that should be really injury preventative. 594 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: So I mean, look, you got friends in high places, 595 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

You 697 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 8: will as one in the quarterback. When you're a quarterback 698 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 8: in your backup, you get no apparently, and so for sure, Door, 699 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 8: it's how is this cadence gonna be well? The well 700 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 8: the starters be playing because they're not used to us 701 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 8: cadence because you're not really getting rest with him, and 702 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 8: so will he be playing with the that he's been 703 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 8: practicing with, because again, you may get routes on air, 704 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 8: you don't get seven on seven reps, you don't get 705 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 8: team reps. So there's just so many little things that 706 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 8: it's almost as if do they want him to succeed 707 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 8: almost because now this week of practice, are they now 708 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 8: going to give him reps with the one it? 709 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 9: Will he get a ton. 710 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 8: Of or just get get the reps with the guys 711 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 8: you're gonna play with. Let me not say the ones, 712 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 8: because the ones may not play. Are you getting a 713 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 8: ton of reps with the guys you play with? But 714 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 8: for Shador, you got to take advantage of every little 715 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 8: opportunity you get because by them doing this that they're 716 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 8: almost counting out. Go show them why you transform Jackson State. 717 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 8: Go show them why you transformed Colorado. 718 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 9: That's what you want to know. 719 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 3: J So tell me why they're why are they showing 720 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 3: a out? Huh? 721 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 8: They I've never seen anything like like number one? Why 722 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 8: why are you still signing quarterbacks? 723 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 9: Kenny Picky get hurt? 724 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 8: Big deal is Kenny hell tja. 725 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 6: They gotta play four quarters on front out somebody. 726 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 8: You ain't been giving Shadur no reps. You don't think 727 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 8: he want to go three quarters and let Tyler helly 728 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 8: do want the whole game? 729 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 3: I mean he might. 730 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 5: I think this is I think it's a chance for 731 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 5: him to me. 732 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 8: It was you Drave Dylan Gabra on the third round 733 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 8: and you turn around. It was just like, what are 734 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 8: they doing? What are they doing? But sure can play? 735 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 8: I have noe just his and Buckie. You guys know 736 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 8: this man, when you believe in yourself and you had 737 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 8: that confidence, that's gonna carry you a long way. Now 738 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 8: you gotta go out there and do it. But he's 739 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 8: not gonna be overwhelmed by the moment. The moment is 740 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 8: not gonna be too big for him. It's going to 741 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 8: be just right for him. It's just the Cleveland gonna 742 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 8: be one of the worst teams in the National Football League. 743 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 8: We all know that that defense is going to be tough, 744 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 8: but offensively they're going to struggle. I don't care who 745 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 8: the quarterback is. And so Shadul will be given an opportunity. 746 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 8: He just has to take advantage of it. And this 747 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 8: is his first opportunity this weekend to take advantage of what's. 748 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 6: The number one thing you're looking at when you watch 749 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 6: and play on Friday night? 750 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 9: Timing? 751 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 8: Are we getting the ball out with timing and anticipation 752 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 8: if protection isn't there, but we know all that goes 753 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 8: out the window. But I want to see play all time. 754 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 8: Can we play from the pocket? Can we hit our 755 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 8: fifth step and the ball comes out? Or are we 756 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 8: hitching and looking and looking at the pass rush? If 757 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 8: you can get the ball out on time, and that 758 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 8: shows me he knows what's going on. That shows me 759 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 8: he's recognizing defenses. And when you play with the starters, 760 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 8: that translates. 761 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 4: So oh, I do want to go back to this 762 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 4: idea that because you did say they're almost setting them 763 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 4: up to fail, because does it? Almost everybody in the 764 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 4: NFL get their opportunity due to injury, whether or not 765 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 4: are not almost everybody, but enough people get their opportunity 766 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 4: due to injury, whether or not they're repping with the ones, 767 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 4: twos or practice squad. And that's just kind of how 768 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 4: it goes. And you step in and your you try 769 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 4: it your best to do what you can. 770 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 8: That's how I got my opportunity was because of injury. 771 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 8: Peter Worke broke his leg against the New York Jets, 772 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 8: and I pretty much was the starter the rest of 773 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 8: the way. 774 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying. 775 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 4: But nobody was setting Nobody was like, who you know what, 776 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 4: we gotta stick. 777 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 5: It to whosh. 778 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 8: But I was getting reps. I was still getting reps 779 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 8: with Carson here and there. I will still get reps 780 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 8: with the ones here and there, because you're a receiver 781 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 8: when you're a quarterback, Bucky, tell me how it worked. 782 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 8: Seven on seven, we got fifteen plays. The starter is 783 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 8: going eight, the backup is going four. The starter may 784 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 8: come back in for the last two or three. Third 785 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 8: string don't even get reps alone foor Stream. And so 786 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 8: when I say you're being set up, you're only being 787 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 8: set up if you're playing with guys that you haven't 788 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 8: been practicing with. And he's still gonna get out there 789 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 8: and make it do what it do. But it just 790 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 8: makes it harder. It makes it so much harder. And 791 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 8: so this week you announce he's going to be the starter, 792 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 8: I'm almost certain he will be getting all the reps 793 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 8: with the guys he's playing with. And so he should 794 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 8: be fine. It just it just seems kind of weird that, oh, 795 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 8: he's doing very well in practice, but he still can't 796 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 8: get any reps with the starters. That just it just 797 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 8: seems odd. 798 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, TJ, thanks for coming on and joining us. 799 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 4: I have a conspiracy theory on why that was the case, 800 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 4: why he wasn't getting reps with the ones, because I 801 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 4: feel like as soon as he gets any any run 802 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 4: with the starting offensive line and wide receivers there, all 803 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 4: the questions are going. 804 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 3: To be, well, he's never going back to too, is he? 805 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 5: He's a guy from now on? 806 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 9: Right? 807 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 3: Coming up next? 808 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 4: You want to talk about somebody being sabotaged. It ain't 809 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 4: s your door, Sanders, but it's another star in the NFL.
