00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast has no prior head coaching experience.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another desition of the Round the League Podcast.

00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: room filled with some heroes, Mark Sessler and Greg Rosenthal.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: What up? Boys? The disappointment level in your voice about

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: just some heroes and the lack of Westling was even

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: more apparent today than Monday. When do we get Chris

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: Westling back in the studio? I was thinking that just

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: before I started speaking there is I thought he'd be

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: back by now, and I know we've talked about west

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: went on his romantic getaway up the coast. He's not back,

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: and what does that mean? Was he scheduled to be scheduled?

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: He had today off? I have been in contact with him.

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: He is going to be making his way back down

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: the coast today, probably on his way right now, and

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: he can regale us with tales of the northern climate.

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: His his his woman friend Aaron was on the podcast

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: over the phone for a few seconds on Friday, So

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: we'll see if that love connection holds up. I'm excited.

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of positive Facebook posts, so it

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: seems like it's going well well at least you knew

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: her name this time veron with any and an R

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,919

Speaker 1: Doing great? Than I want to thank you. Before I

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: came into the studio today, you you stopped me and

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: showed me a clip of Kieren Pollard making a stunning

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: catch at the boundary line for Solitaire fifty six? Is

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that was that all? Correct? You know? I had that

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Timbers extra time shootout last week. Now I

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: got some cricket. You're really expanding yeah, hashtag broadened horizons, right.

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: You know gold Center is like one of those guys.

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Until you said cricket right then, I didn't know what

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: you were talking about, and neither did the listeners. I

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: would think the Timbers, Well, I do know, Timbers an

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: overrated entity? Right? Am I wrong? You're right? I mean,

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: of course what I follow other sports? You know, I'm

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm plugged in. You certainly don't know you're talking about

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: the industry. Industry? Um, alright, good, so thank you? And Greg.

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: I did notice that today you have gone um business

40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: shirt tucked into jeans with sneakers, which is an unusual

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: look for you. So you're mixing it up today. I

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: always noticed my employees how they're dressed. Yeah, I didn't

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: know I was one of your employ h Yeah, I

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: mean my wife was not a fan of in general

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: the whole business shirt with the jeans look. Doesn't matter

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: about the shoes, which is very popular on here. I

47
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: try to avoid it, but you know, I'm just like it.

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: You like it? I really do. I think it's a

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: good look. What do you think that's fetching? I could

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: see why the wife would be you're saying she is

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a fan or she is now she doesn't like She

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: thinks either you go business or or not. I could

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: see her point of view as well. And just to clarify,

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: Greg is actually my boss, not my employee. You can't

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: come in here and read to the ORG chart. Alright.

56
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: So okay, so we got a good show today, West.

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I think we'll be back our our next show, you know,

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: but we don't know. So we're gonna sold you on

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: another show without him. We will um talk about some

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: good rookie chatter. We love talking about the rookies and

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: how they're going to impact. Uh Mark, you wrote a really,

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: really good piece on rookie wide receivers. Greg, you wrote

63
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: a piece on rookie running back, so we're gonna get

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: into both of those. We're also going to get into

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: something that we're calling rookie camp Whisper, based on all

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the camps this weekend. And Mark Cecil, you were manning

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: the ship and you wrote some you know, nice nugs,

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of juicy nugs, and we're gonna go over

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: some of them. I like it involved. But before we

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: do any of that, the gold centered behind the glass?

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: What do you think, man? Should we do some news? Alright?

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: So Andre Johnson, we know UH is unhappy with the

73
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, the direction of the franchise. He came out

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: last week and said he wasn't sure if Houston was

75
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the place for him. Bill O'Brien, the new Texans coach, um,

76
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: spoke out this weekend and Uh he had this to say.

77
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: I'll let Andre speak for himself, and he added, the

78
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: conversations that Andre and I have had have been very

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: positive about what we're doing here as a team, obviously

80
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: offensively what we're doing here. We've had good communications. But

81
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: as far as what Andrea said, I'll let him speak

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: for himself. Gentlemen, what do you make of this? Situation.

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Do you think Andre Johnson is not long for the Texans? Well,

84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: there is a report out Monday from ESPN Adam Schefter

85
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: that suggested people around me don't expect Johnson to be traded,

86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: and everything we've heard so far indicates the Texans don't

87
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: really want to trade Andre Johnson. So even though he's

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: not happy, what's he gonna do about it? Is he

89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna hold out the whole offseason? I mean skipping voluntary work,

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: that's one thing. Could he really force a trade? Ultimately,

91
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: it's up to the team what they do and why

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: would they want to trade him? I think that's the

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: better part of it right there, because if you're the Texans,

94
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: you've got DeAndre Hopkins, a good young player. But if

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: you dump and well you dump Andre Johnson under the mix,

96
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: you're suddenly that team that's really thin at that position.

97
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: And I don't think that Suddenly Bill O'Brien wants to

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: go into the season with questions at quarterback and you

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: just let your star wide receiver out the door. Yeah,

100
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to sell Ryan Fitzpatrick as you're starting quarterback

101
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: throwing to DeAndre Hopkins and Keyshan Martin or de vere Posey.

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: They're already thin it at wide receiver. And I don't

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: think this is a case of a guy towards the

104
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: end of his career and you're just trying to squeeze

105
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: out another year or two. He had three thousand yards

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: combined over the last two years. We we were debating,

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: uh downstairs, Dan, what we thought his value would be

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: if he was open for I thought it'd be a

109
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: second round pick at least, because this is a pretty

110
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: good player. Still. I think we all kind of agreed

111
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: he's turning thirty three this summer that based on what

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: he's done in recent seasons, this is a guy that

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: has one monster year left in a maybe to something

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: around there. So what's that worth to a team that's

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: looking to get over the humb I mean, the second

116
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: round pick makes a lot of sense. Well, and this

117
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: is a guy that in theory, he's troubled because he

118
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: wants to go to a contender. So suddenly you needed

119
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: to be a contender with a lot of cat money

120
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: and ability to give up a pick and a place

121
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: to Andre Johnson's gonna want to go to. I don't

122
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: see what that is. Ryan Mallett, Oh boy, here we

123
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: go well, and a fourth round pick for Andre Johnson.

124
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how it all fits in with the

125
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: salary cap, but does bring him on over? Uh? You know,

126
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: it's it's funny that everyone is immediately like pinging him

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: to the Patriots just because the Patriots need another star

128
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: from another team. But uh, Albert Brier boarded last week

129
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: eleven point nine six million and dead money against the

130
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Texans cap if they were uh to get rid of Johnson,

131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: and then of course any team that took him on

132
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: would have to take on Johnson's contract, which is fairly immense,

133
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: So any possible deal it would seem to be a

134
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: long shot. Yeah, I think it. That's being safe. I

135
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: don't think there's much of a chance to happen because

136
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: of what you just said. That dead money the Albert reported,

137
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a killer. So not only are you

138
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: getting rid of such a talented player, you're taking all

139
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: this money and you're getting it for a pick that's

140
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: not until next year. Is dravving the drafts already over.

141
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: You can't get a pick for this year's draft. It

142
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: would be a shock to me if he was traded.

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: And not to say that, we don't understand where Andre

144
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: Johnson is coming from, because he sees the writing on

145
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: the wall here here that he's got a couple of

146
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: years left, and all of a sudden, he's set up

147
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: with a team that's coming off two and fourteen catching

148
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: mortally wounded ducks from potentially Case Keenum in play. This

149
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: is where West would jump in and say, this isn't

150
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: such a bad situation at all, but it is by

151
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: the way he get West. I'll let him, Well, you

152
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: have plenty of time this offseason, but West is still

153
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: holding out hope that Case Keenum is their Week one starter.

154
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: That is a thing. Yeah, but West jumped off the

155
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: case Keenum train long before, constructed the entire railway track

156
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: of the case Keenum train in addition to the train itself,

157
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: and then pushed it off the rails after about five weeks. Yes,

158
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, we miss you so much

159
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: that we're now including you in the conversation even though

160
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: you're not here. We're pretending you're here. I lock him,

161
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: That's all I could say. Alright, Moving on another wide receiver,

162
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. This was kind of a weird move the

163
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Chicago Bears wide receiver signed a three year,

164
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: thirty million dollar extension. That's not so weird, that makes sense,

165
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: but he did it. Did it during a live taping

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: of The View on ABC, which was strange, But this

167
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: locks him in. NFL media inside Ian Rappaport reported that

168
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: the deal, which takes him through the two thousand seventeen season,

169
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: includes twenty three million and guarantees, per source informed of

170
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: the pact. Yeah, I mean, it's the first time that

171
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: I can remember that. Whoopi Goldberg beat Rappaport to an

172
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: NFL news story by minute by full minutes. I'm furious

173
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: with our news desk that they were not watching the

174
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: View at the time, because I gotta be honest, we

175
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: were chasing this story. No one saw, No one had

176
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: it right off the bat. Oh yeah, hey, there's Marshall

177
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: signing his contract next to uh Jenny McCarthy. Yeah, speaking

178
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: Jenny mc I don't think she's on this year's version

179
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: of the show. Actually, I have not really ever seen

180
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: the View, but of course we saw clips of it

181
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: this morning because of what happened on the show. It

182
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: was a bit sobering to see Jenny McCarthy um at

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: this stage of the game, looking a little different than

184
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: she did. For men of a certain age, Jenny McCarthy

185
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: was an absolute comment of the mid nineties. You know,

186
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: a playboy playmate star of singled out, which might have

187
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: sent me through puberty of that show. Uh, and now

188
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: he's here and there's a whole different situation going on. Yeah, Greg.

189
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Greg flipped it around and said that actually it's a

190
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: victory for Jenny McCarthy, that it's a very solid, consistent

191
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: landing spot. The word that came to mind for me

192
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: was wasteland, because suddenly you're a woman who's on the view.

193
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: To regular you're disconnected on this So I don't know

194
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: how you can walk around and hold your head high

195
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: and say I'm on the View. Well, we wouldn't. We

196
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. Brandon Marshall did. Not only did he

197
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: want to join the ladies there, he wanted to break

198
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: some news. I mean, it's rare enough for a player

199
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: to break their own contract extension news anywhere on Twitter

200
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. He said, Where can I go the View?

201
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: They'll take care of me. Mark. What's wrong with strong

202
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: opinions from a woman and females on a daytime television show?

203
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: That's not at all. My issue with the show, I

204
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: don't feel I haven't watched it enough to to say

205
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: that that's not happening on there. I feel that the show.

206
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to go down this. I

207
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: don't like the view. I don't have to do. I'm

208
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: fine with it this way. For Jenny McCarthy, who went

209
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: from she thought she was the next Lucy and then

210
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: she kind of faded into the ether and made babies

211
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: of Jim Carrey and then said weird things about vaccines.

212
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Now she's on the top rated daytime television show, you know,

213
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: at age forty five whatever. That's a good spot for

214
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: a former playboy girl. So I have to be impressed. Yes,

215
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: do you know that it's top rated or you're just

216
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: saying that the view it's a juggernaut, you know, Gold Center, huge,

217
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: every I was actually the first person on it at

218
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: media because I had it on my internal monitor. Show.

219
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: The show does well the Nielsen's I'm just gonna go

220
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: out on a relatively to other programs. All right, let's

221
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: move on unless we want to keep top mark. Do

222
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: you have anything else? Can actually say something about Brandon

223
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: Marshall if we want to? Oh? Yeah, that would that's

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: that would be good, although I don't know that makes

225
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: it makes all the sense of the world. The guy's

226
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: a great receiver. You put him with Jeffrey and it's

227
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: arguably the best tandem in football. Right Well, it's interesting

228
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: that he's moved around in his career so much. He's

229
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: never signed two contracts with the same team. The Broncos

230
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: got rid of him. This contract that he was on

231
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: still was from the Dolphins. They got rid of him.

232
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: And now that he's older and we had him in

233
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: studio and he was delightful. It seems like he's matured.

234
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: And Mark Trestman, it's like, Okay, now he's finally setting in.

235
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: He gets that contract to stick around with one team

236
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: for a while, and it couldn't be a better spot

237
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: with Mark Well and they some people talk about, oh,

238
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, you cross thirty and suddenly you're in trouble.

239
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Back to back seasons with a hundred catches, thousand yards,

240
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. The only player right now in the league

241
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: that's done that two years in a row. He's in

242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: an offense it's perfect form where I think his soulmate

243
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jake The only concern with him is he said,

244
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: so many surgeries over the year, and he's not a

245
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: receiver that builds his game around speed anyway. It's kind

246
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: of like an an Kin Bold and he's turning into

247
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: a better version of that. But you still wonder as

248
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: he gets older all those surgeries. He's had six, seven,

249
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: eight surgeries in his career. That's true, But I also

250
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: view him at the same time as one of those

251
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: money in the bank guys. And if you're a fantasy

252
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: football player, you could, if you take Brandon Marshall in

253
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: the third round of a draft or whatever, you could

254
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: basically pencil him in for that type of production that

255
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: you've you've come to expect it now with Jeffrey becoming

256
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: a star. You know, it's just that's one of the

257
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: best wide receiver group duos in the league. I'd say

258
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: it's the best. How about that pivot off of McCarthy

259
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: straight into Marshall hardcore football? What other podcasts are giving

260
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: you that? Good luck with that? Challengers to the Throne? Uh?

261
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Stephen Alright? Moving forward? Uh? Teddy Bridgewater the number thirty

262
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: two overall pick in the two thousand four NFL draft.

263
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: We'll take first team reps at O. T. A s.

264
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: Here is a line from Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, not

265
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: the Mike Zimmer that's signed with the Vikings today. I

266
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: just want to make that thank you. Yeah, that's a linebacker, Mike.

267
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: This is the uh. Teddy's been great. He's had a

268
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: good command of the offense. I like his leadership, I

269
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: like his determination. He's throwing the ball. Well, he's got

270
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: good quick feet. He is a god. I made that up.

271
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I think he is a good athlete. So he's progressing

272
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: at a good pace mark as you alluded to. And

273
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into it later with these rookie mini caaps.

274
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks that everyone is awesome at this stage, but

275
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings perhaps they need Teddy Bridgewater to pan out

276
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: for them to have any chance. Well, I mean some

277
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: teams are getting massacred on the media front for you know,

278
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: hedging about the quarterbacks they drafted and where they'll wind

279
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: up in September. The Vikings can't say that about them.

280
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: They've been everything coming out of Minnesota tells us they

281
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: want Bridgewater to be their guy from week one on,

282
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: and who can blame him? Well, teams handled these first

283
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: round quarterbacks in a couple of different ways. They either

284
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: say he's got to earn every rep in practice and

285
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: for now he is the number three quarterback and any

286
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: movement he makes is going to be up or you

287
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: can just be up front and honest about it the

288
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: whole time instead of playing this game and say we're

289
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: going to give him some first team reps. Castle get

290
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: some first team Christian Ponder will probably get some first

291
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: team reps. Who's that? But why even pretend that he's

292
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: not in the mix. He's in the mix right away.

293
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: It's good to see he's got he's got a shot

294
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: now for a week one. Has any quarterback fell from

295
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: Grace in a faster manner than Christian Palmer. He's almost Ponder.

296
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: He's almost like an NFL afterthought. Last year he was

297
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: like their guy and he had the great Week seventeen

298
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: and they had the high hopes. Now he's like not

299
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: even an option anymore. I think the Ponder has been

300
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: a lightning rod for criticism from the very beginning, with

301
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: the way he plays well. Dan asked the question has

302
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: any quarterback fallen from Grace faster? There is a correct

303
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: answer to this. I'm wondering Mark, if you're you could

304
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: guess the same wavelength that I could think of five quarterbacks.

305
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, in the last ten years, there there was

306
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback that a certain Mr. Hands don't think four

307
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: thousand yard it's for going into last season, Mr Brandon Weedon,

308
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: But I thought you were going with Mark Sanchez. Actually,

309
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: but how about Tim Tebow? Yeah? Yeah, but he was terrible.

310
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Come on, society, we all knew that. Alright, this is

311
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: news from Friday, but we didn't get a chance to

312
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: touch on it. Then Indianapolis UH Colts outside linebacker Robert

313
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: Mathis was suspended four games for violating the league's performance

314
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: enhancing drug policy. Mathis released a statement through NFL media

315
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: insider Ian Rappaport in which Mathis said the Fell test

316
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: came from and this is the worst one. Fells taking

317
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: fertility drugs. Tough break for the cults. This is a

318
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: big time player. His explanation was so in depth and

319
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: just everything that you know about Mathis and the fact

320
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: that he and his wife are now pregnant and they've

321
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: had twins before. I usually don't give the benefit of

322
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: the doubt. It doesn't really matter if we're giving the

323
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt or not. But this is one

324
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: that it's see him to be believable. Is that fair

325
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: to say? I would agree with you. I mean we

326
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: and when we were just sort of learning piece by

327
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: piece on Friday as the news was coming out in

328
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: the details, it lined up that matthis was had had

329
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: a very detailed account about why he believed this was

330
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: an incorrect ruling. I agreed with him. Here's the thing though,

331
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: there he had a problem at that position before this suspension.

332
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: They who are their pass rushers other than Robert Mathis.

333
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: He is so valuable to that team because they're trying

334
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: to trot out Eric Walden and their first round pick

335
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: from a year ago, Bjorn Werner, who hasn't done anything yet,

336
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: and they're not sure if he's really so it's a

337
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: big loss for them, is my big take. Especially and

338
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: they play Denver week one, and it was Mathis primarily

339
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: that put Peyton Manning on the ground last time they played.

340
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: I think that he completely disrupted Manning's play. That's that

341
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: the Colts don't have anything special at any layer of

342
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: their defense. When you take him away nineteen and a

343
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: half sacks last season, I don't like that defense. It's

344
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be a defensive type of team with Pogano

345
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: and if you just look up and down, it's not

346
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: It's not a defense to get excited about, especially if

347
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: Mathis is out. Finally, we went this far into the

348
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: news and I was starting to get nervous nothing about

349
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: the Browns. But Mark pulled it off. Greg Little, the

350
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: former Brown's wide receiver cut by the team last week?

351
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: How did I what I had to not pull this

352
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: left didn't actually happening? The show claimed on waivers by

353
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Greg Little, former Brown, now a current Raider.

354
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: Mark I would classify that as a Raiders story. Well,

355
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: what is Greg Little gonna be on that roster week one? Well,

356
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: talk about a team with without a whole lot special

357
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: the position they've got James Jones, Denarius More still waiting

358
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: for Denarius More to become that guy that right, God Streeter,

359
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: He's got a pretty good chance to make the team,

360
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: I would say as a fourth or fifth wide receiver.

361
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: After that, it gets grizzly. Well, they tried Josh Cribbs

362
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: last season, so I'm sure a year from now they'll

363
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: another former Brown. Just keep going down that road. Al

364
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: Davis is you know I've not been with us now

365
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, but they still signed these

366
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: guys that feel like they would fit in on Al

367
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: Davis teams. They used to major in receivers that are

368
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: physically talented but could not catch the ball, which seems

369
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: like a factor in Greg Little. Would all right, gentlemen,

370
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean we have more to say on Greg Little.

371
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: I'm stunned he made it into the uh docket. We

372
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: got all angles covered, Greg Little, Jenny McCarthy, Robert mathis

373
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: everything on the docket moving forward. We mentioned Mark rookie

374
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: camp um, you wrote up a bunch of little nuggets

375
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: based on uh, you're glancing around the league. So we

376
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: figured I'll throw it to Mark now, and Mark maybe

377
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: uh you know, mentioned a couple of things that he

378
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: that he read and wrote about, and we will then

379
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: make comments based off what Mark says. And that's how

380
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: podcasts work. The reason I actually put this together was

381
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: because on a Sunday morning, all these beat writers suddenly

382
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: have on field observations to make and they're talking to coaches.

383
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: Everything is exceedingly and painfully positive. Not a single negative

384
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: word about any rookie drafted. Everyone's an all star. Well,

385
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: all the rookies practiced over the weekend. For the most part,

386
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: almost every team, about three quarters of the league had

387
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: their rookie minicamps, so they were out there for the

388
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: first time. I think for fans exciting. It is exciting

389
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: because suddenly you're getting some return on the guy that

390
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: you went out and picked last week in the draft.

391
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: The thing I saw Saturday night that jumped out for

392
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: me because the Arizona Cardinals interesting offense under Bruce Arians.

393
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: They drafted this guy John Brown, who you look at

394
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: what Arians did in Indianapolis when he had t Y Hilton.

395
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: John Brown is uh. They're calling him an explosive sudden

396
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: player who has the same four three four speed is

397
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton and almost exactly the same build, and

398
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna dip him into that offense that already has

399
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: some interesting, very interesting receiving talent. I like him. I'm

400
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: what He's on my radar. All of a sudden, he's

401
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: on Gold Standards radar too. Totally big John on your

402
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: radar too. We're doing a series on the site projecting

403
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: starting lineups for Week one around the league, and for

404
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, I had Ted Ginn in there as their

405
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: third receiver. Logical but now this John Brown guy, if

406
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: you think about what they're doing, get almost works better

407
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: as a return guy and a number four if you

408
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: if this John Brown gives him anything with Fitzgerald and

409
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: Michael fot and Dan came flying into the office today

410
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: to point out that I had spelled the school he

411
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: went to in correctly, Pittsburgh State, telling me that I

412
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: had h off he came from Pittsburgh State in Kansas. No,

413
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: h you know what, I really gave you a lot

414
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: of credit for getting that right, and I'm sorry forever

415
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: judging you or questioning your abilities. If we had a

416
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: power rankings of the least amount of typos, Sessler might

417
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: be number one. I think, I'm not sure. I've talked

418
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: to the desk and then Instely said that Mark and

419
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: I put forth the cleanest copy. This is true if

420
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it, and then throwing himself

421
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: in and then somewhere somewhere West and Greg. You know

422
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: they heard Greg's making a lot of improvements as time

423
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: has gone up. What about Patra? He didn't even mention him.

424
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: Patra's solid is just steady. That's what I hear. That's

425
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: what I heared. Talk to your clean copy does not

426
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: equal compelling copy. Here's one interesting thing that I want

427
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: to just say about this whole rookie camp thing. And

428
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people get sucked into these

429
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: initial things. We're getting excited about John Brown now leaving

430
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Uh to two words. Tyler Wilson, Raiders quarterback.

431
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: I believe it was the rookie camp last year where

432
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: there was a lot of buzz about him being there

433
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: a week one starter and being the future in Oakland,

434
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, and he wasn't even on the

435
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: team by about six or seven weeks. So Doug Maron

436
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: had a good quote which speaks to what you're talking about,

437
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: talking about Sammy Watkins, who dominated as you would expect

438
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: over the weekend. He said, he's a first round pick.

439
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: If I came out here and he dropped five balls

440
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: and he fell down five or ten times, would be pissed.

441
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins's dominated a bunch of undrafted guys and fifth

442
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: round picks. He's Sammy Watkins. Mark spin Us through Berea,

443
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: the Johnny Manzielle circus. Uh, Well, I like this. Someone

444
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: came away with one comment about manziel calling him tiny

445
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: that's a great character, that's all. This one beat writer

446
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: came away with just a tiny figure, a tiny individual

447
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: like six inches tall. I don't know, I mean well

448
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: comparing him basically to uh, the rookie running back Terrence West,

449
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: who did break a little news mentioning that he was

450
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: or his agent was on the phone with the Ravens

451
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: who wanted to draft West five spots later, which reminds

452
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: me of another ill fated scenario which we reported on

453
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: how the Ravens wanted Brady Quinn as well. I hope

454
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: this one works out a little better for this team.

455
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, did we are the Browns reporters allowed to

456
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: talk about me and theell? Or they? Is that very fully? They?

457
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: From what I saw from the footage, they were fully

458
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: allowed in the building and on the sideline. Do we

459
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: have any proof through this weekend mark that Tom Savage

460
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: is a real person? I've seen none, although there was

461
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: a post written about Tom Savage I believe by Kevin

462
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: Patra I think a day earlier on Saturday. So is

463
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: that proof? It leads us closer to proof? And how

464
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: about my boy Jets rookie tight end Jay Somorrow told

465
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: reporters he wants to be a tight end that catches

466
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: one hundred balls a year a bang, which is great,

467
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: although I do remember Kellen Winslow Jr. Saying something very

468
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: similar last summer that didn't work out. They've always like

469
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: saying a hundred passes. I've noticed that rookies or free

470
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: agent pickups, I'm gonna catch a hunt. Not many people

471
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: are catching a hundred passes jas. Why don't we set

472
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: these goals a little more. Let's go for sixty. We'll

473
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: start at sixty would be nice too, and we'll see

474
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: where we go from there. But Rex Ryan, according to

475
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: the Mark Sessler post here set offensive cording and Marty

476
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: Morning wig quote, thinks we've got a new toy and

477
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: we're trying to feature him. I'm very excited about the

478
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: Jace era, and I don't want him to bite into

479
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: hashtag Cumbies production or playing time. But I think there's

480
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: enough room for both of them, because I don't know

481
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: if Amorrow could block at all, but it sounds like

482
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: he can catch. Not to burst your bubble, dam but

483
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: I actually just made that bullet up that's weeks to

484
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: an integrity issue for you, So that multiple quotes Marty

485
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: Morning Wick quotes to you you made those up, as

486
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. All right, give me one more, Mark,

487
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna move on. The most absurd quote

488
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: of the weekend coming from new Redskins coach Jake Gruden,

489
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: who took a look at a fifth round wide out

490
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant and said that he plays already like a

491
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: ten year veteran. Come on, give me a break. How tiresome.

492
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: It is a little bit tiresome. It's like these kids,

493
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: they don't know anything. Yeah, I don't care what you

494
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: look like. Come on, let's be fair. Maybe this speaks

495
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: to Gruden's struggles to evaluate talent Cincinnati. He thinks Andy

496
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: Dalton looks like a Super Bowl champion correct firing shots

497
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: from the corner of the room. Just there was a

498
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: second of empty air, so I just felt it had

499
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: to be filled with sound. Um. All right, So, gentlemen,

500
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed both of you guys wrote great pieces

501
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: on rookie players, rookie skill players, on offense, Mark on

502
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You asked, you know, you kind of laid

503
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: out who will gain the most yards? Greg in a

504
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: different around the League post which you could find on

505
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: NFL dot com, backslash a t L you get all

506
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: our posts in a neat scroll. Function wrote about which

507
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: rookie running backs will get the ball the most. So

508
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: I guess that's a touches prediction from Greg. So why

509
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: don't we Why don't we get into this because I'm

510
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: very curious who's going to make an instant impact. We'll

511
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: start with the running backs. Greg, you are the boss

512
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: uh tell us, who is the leader in the clubhouse

513
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: for most touches as a rookie? Well, my Bishop Sanky

514
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: Love has been repetitive on this program. If you look

515
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: at all the rookie running backs, there's no one else

516
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: that's really set up to get over two d and

517
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: fifty touches. I have Sankie at to seventy five, and

518
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I think that's conservative. He could be over three hundred.

519
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of harkening back to my old days

520
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: at Rhoda World Fantasy Projections that's based what this is.

521
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: And and to me, Sanky he was the leader by

522
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: far more than a hundred touches over any other rookie

523
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: that I wrote down. I think he's going to get

524
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: the ball a ton and be a factor. I'm curious

525
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: how many running backs in the last ten years have

526
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: gotten over three touches in a rookie season. Gregg has

527
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: the answer right here, you go go sevent Zack Stacy

528
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 1: did last year. So there's one I think you did

529
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: gold standard behind the glass. Can you do some research

530
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: and find out Geo Bernard's touch it would be under

531
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: three hundred? Who else? Uh? Mark? In the excuse me?

532
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: Who else? Greg? Do you see getting let's say more

533
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: than well? The number two on this list was Mark's boyle.

534
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: We just talked about Terence West, and I think if

535
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you're in fantasy leagues, I'm sure this isn't a news flash.

536
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be someone. It's a sleeper. He's won't even

537
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: be a sleeper. He's gonna be a very popular guy.

538
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: Because you look at their situation. They want to run

539
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: the ball, have a young quarterback. You have Ben Tate

540
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: who may or may not be a true lead back,

541
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: may or may not stay healthy. And this guy West,

542
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: he looks like Kyle Shanahan type of back. You're excited

543
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: about him, Well, I mean he ran behind the same

544
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: they have to find running backs with the zone blocking scheme, experience,

545
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: and when he was drafted he's from Taos and the

546
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: a couple of their assistants are too, and I guess

547
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: some of the Brown staff stood up in Pipeline. I

548
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know sang the house and fight songs. So I think,

549
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of in house sense that

550
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna play a role. I agree with you, Gregor.

551
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: He he is being compared to Alfred Morris in some circles.

552
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Gotta like that. I could see like this concept of

553
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: like circles of of men and women standing around comparing

554
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Terence West out best best best running back in tows

555
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: and history. I'll throw it out to you. I know

556
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: the answer. I just want to see if you guys

557
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: do Are you serious? I'm gonna go Terrence West just

558
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: because he's the only one I know. I'm gonna go

559
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Walter Frauds. Alight, that's incorrect. The answer is David Meggatt, Dave.

560
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: I've got to give him, not to West. I'm sticking

561
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: with my answer, all right, give us one more and

562
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: then we're gonna swing over to wide receivers. I think

563
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Andre Williams is a guy who I have number three

564
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: on Bliss, who could be an even deeper sleeper in

565
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: fantasy league, because you look at his situation right now,

566
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: and who does he have to beat out? They shot

567
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: they signed Rashad Jennings, who's bounced around the league. Does

568
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: not get me excited at all. They have Peyton hillis

569
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: forget him. Might as well be off the team at

570
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: this point. David Wilson, we don't know if he's ever

571
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna play again. Meanwhile, Williams, he's from Boston College, just

572
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: like Tom Coughlin likes it, and he's the type of

573
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: running back Coughlin dreams of these pounding guys on the

574
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: first couple of downs, breaks a lot of tackles. He

575
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: seems like a guy who could emerge from the fourth

576
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: round to surprise a lot of people. I like that.

577
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: The only thing there with New York is they don't

578
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: often with the rookie running backs use them that much.

579
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Jacobs was a factor as a rookie, maybe not

580
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty carry type of factor, but this

581
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: is a team that always talks about wanting to return

582
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: to the running game and they haven't been able to

583
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: do it. And he seems like a guy that his

584
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: skills will translate and you could be on the Field

585
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: a lot, and one name I found interesting just because Greg,

586
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: you are such a huge fan of the Inconvenient Truth.

587
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, Carlos Hide. Do you have him flirting with

588
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: a hundred touches? Is a rookie? Yeah that you know,

589
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: that's seventy runs, maybe twenty catches or yeah, that's a

590
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: backup type of level. Kendall Hunter will be a factor there.

591
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of backups in this draft. I mean,

592
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: Trey Mason should be a clear backup. Jeremy Hill and

593
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati will We'll see what he does. Jerick McKinnon in Minnesota,

594
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: he'll probably be Adrian Peterson's backup. Codeem Carry in Chicago.

595
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: A lot of true backups, not a lot of guys

596
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: that should be challenging to start. And then fresh from

597
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 1: the Goldman uh All of Sports Bureau Bernard Geo. Bernard

598
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: had two d and twenty six touches last year. And

599
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: then just a bunch of info from a gold Standard

600
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: force that combined forty four miss tackles, hashtag elusive, hashtag slippery,

601
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: hashtag like butta. This is all stuff Zach just sent

602
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: to me an instant messenger gold Standard stepping up big

603
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: total package. Total packages are producers. Zack Stacy by the way,

604
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: two D and seventies six touches so felt just short

605
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: of three D last year. All right, mark which rookie

606
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: receiver will gain the most yards. I looked at this

607
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: the way Greg did. I think part of it is

608
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: fit and what else you're competing against? System blah blah blah. Uh.

609
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks for the New Orleans Saints, to me just

610
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: stands out as a guy a You've got a franchise

611
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: quarterback there, You've got a coach that knows how to

612
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: use players that are young and get them their talents out.

613
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: Cooks is a guy that thinks gonna see a lot

614
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: of touches based off of where Darren Sprowles would have

615
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: in space, uh, set up to win. I think they've

616
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: they've basically told him before they drafted him, if we

617
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: take you, you're gonna see they he said a ton

618
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: of an instant, instant contributor was the quote or something

619
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: like that over the weekend. So I think Cooks is

620
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: my number one pick, close behind him Mike Evans Tampa Bay.

621
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: That's a bold choice. Cook's number one. That's very bold.

622
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: And I and I'm gonna say you have Evans at

623
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: number two the Buccaneers and makes sense there. But Sammy Watkins,

624
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, is the best wide receiver

625
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: prospects since Megatron. You're putting them at number three here.

626
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: You think it's not gonna happen immediately, and I think

627
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: I know where you're going with it. Well, the minute

628
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: you published something like this, you got people hitting you

629
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: up saying, why are you saying Sammy Watkins isn't the

630
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: best wider severing why are you saying that Sammy Watkins

631
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: isn't people from Buffalo so much? Mark and women, the

632
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: question was who will have the most women? What is

633
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: the coming from earlier? From earlier? I think the view

634
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: is consulting to consulting to thinking women. That's what I

635
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: would say to recap. Mark hats women in bills and market.

636
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: It's called the callback in the industry. Okay, go ahead. Wow,

637
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: he put it on a defensive here. I don't like that.

638
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't like the spin on the view because the

639
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: view is an insult to women who think critically about

640
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: the earth. That's fair. That's a pretty logical take Sammy

641
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: Watkins number three on your list. Mark, I think Watkins

642
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: might be the most talented receiver here. I mean that's

643
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: not that, it's that, it's that who's your quarterback in

644
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: that system? Do we even know that e J. Manuel

645
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: is going to be the start of five weeks in?

646
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: And is that a team that isn't going to have

647
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: three or four different quarterbacks play like it did last year.

648
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: Here's one thing I think and if if you're correct

649
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: with your assumption here or prediction that Kelvin Benjamin will

650
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: be the sixth most productive rookie wide receiver, I think

651
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: that's very bad news for the Carolina Panthers who need

652
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: an instant impact from him. One thing to mention that

653
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: of the twenty wide receivers picked last year, they averaged

654
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: as a group two forty six yards. Bad class though

655
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: for skill play is just not a position though that

656
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: you often see rookies come out and dominate early. You know,

657
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen was the only guy that crossed a thousand

658
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: yards like I think general wide receiver, but transition. I

659
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: mean when we get down to the Kelvin Benjamin and

660
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: Beckham at six and seven, we're looking at maybe four

661
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: or five yards. See if I if I did this

662
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: list I'd have Beckham much higher. I think he has

663
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: a chance a chance to be a pretty big impact player,

664
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: whereas Jordan Matthews and Cody Latimer, to me, they have

665
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: a bigger uphill climb to instant relevance. Who knows how

666
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: Beckham will translate, but I think the Giants would love

667
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: it if he was their number two receiver right away

668
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: with Jordan Matthews. Kelly has already said he's going to

669
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: be a starter in the slot, and I look at

670
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: that offense and just the way that Riley Cooper's numbers

671
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: from last season tell me that an average receiving talent

672
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: can be pumped up statistically, and that's why I put

673
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: him four. Got a sleeper on this list, Mark and um,

674
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: maybe we'll do this as the last one. Paul Richardson

675
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, you have him as a guy that

676
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: makes the top ten here. If I could go back

677
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: and make a change on this list, I might put

678
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: uh Davontae Adams for Green Bay and at number ten

679
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: or even higher, because you know, green Bay, that's a

680
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: team that gets a lot of receiver production, but so

681
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: did the Seahawks, and Richardson's a super fast deep threat

682
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of guy, and I kind of think that he

683
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: could have two or three big games yardage wise at

684
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: the end of the year and be at the nine

685
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: or ten spot yardage wise. I think he's got a chance.

686
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: I was just doing that NFC West depth chart starting lineups,

687
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, so they drafted Richardson to replace

688
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin. Eventually he's that sword of receiver. Then you

689
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: have Sidney Rice, who they were fine if he left,

690
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: so I don't know if he's going to be much

691
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: of a factor at all. Then you have Percy Harvard,

692
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: who's never healthy. Richardson could wind up being on the

693
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: field and be a pretty big factor. Alright, good job, Fells.

694
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: Except for the Cook's part. Cook's number one. That would

695
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: be an upset. And we should go back to this

696
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: one because if you get that one right, that will

697
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: truly have been That's Assessler right there. We'll see that

698
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: background music. That's where West has been. I think for

699
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: the last two or three days, he's been up in

700
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: the big sur wilderness. You know, I don't. I'm not.

701
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed to say that I had some wonders

702
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: or some negative thoughts about how this weekend would play out.

703
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: But now that I had no idea this was, this

704
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: was going into the next week. This could really be,

705
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: this could be the stars, something big for Chris Wesley.

706
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking wedding Tybee Island. We're all there, we're doing

707
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: the podcast there at the reception. You've You've done a

708
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: complet your last predictions about this. When a weekend trip

709
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: extends to Monday, it changes, Okay, all right, before we go,

710
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch on one last bit of it.

711
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: Could have put it in the news, but I wanted

712
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: to give it its own, uh separate area that Seahawks

713
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: running back Marshawn Lynch is set to star in his

714
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: own biographical film UH about life growing up in Oakland,

715
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: titled Family First and the Always Verbose. Lynch told the

716
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: San Jose Mercury News, just trying something new. Alright, well,

717
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: he's trying something movie. Um so I asked my wife, Emily,

718
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: the beautiful and expecting Emily Hansis, who works in casting

719
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: for a major network. I'll say that in Los Angeles,

720
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: if there wasn't around the league podcast movie, a biography

721
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: about UH life growing up in Culver City, who would

722
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: play each of the roles. Uh, because we want to

723
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: play ourselves. You know, we're not complete egotists like Seth McFarlane.

724
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna get somebody to play us. We're

725
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: not gonna play the mosselves. Little Steth McFarland family guy

726
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: Burn deal with it, um while I sleep on your

727
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Al right, So I'll just go through the

728
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: list real quick. And this is uh unimpeachable because it

729
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: comes from a professional and also my wife, so you know,

730
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: be respectful. Uh, Chris Westling, who's that here? Anybody want

731
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: to take a guess and gold Centered you can as well.

732
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: M hmm. Has to be someone that's somewhat missing thropic,

733
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: if that's a word. Jason Stathun Uh, Emily chose Woody Harrison.

734
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, that's perfect. See that's why she

735
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: gets the big bucks. And you couldn't come up with anyone.

736
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: I I initially thought in my mind maybe Billy Bob Thornton,

737
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: but then Harrison came and I thought that Housing, especially

738
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: after seeing True Detective, you could handle a little. Oh well,

739
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: they're both of them to say the least. But see

740
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: I would have gone were you alive, Philip Seymour Hoffman.

741
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I don't know. I don't think they have

742
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: the he can do anything, You could do anything. I

743
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: guess that's true. You could play you. Um, Greg Rosenthal,

744
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: how about Greg? What do you think? Well? Gregg and

745
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: planted a thought into my mind on this front at

746
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: another time, which basically Kevin Arnold wonder years, I can't

747
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: go anywhere else after he dread, Yeah, Fred savages to

748
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: me an ideal pick. That's the late worst pick he

749
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: could possibly have. Well, well, he got Winnie Cooper now

750
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't mind being him as a character. But

751
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't know about Fred's that. He hasn't been in

752
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you have part of it. It's a

753
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: question of where he is at his career. There is

754
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: a likeness in theory between you, and that's not an insult.

755
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: By the way, I get that from Twitter a lot

756
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: in a in a perfect world, Uh, Seth Cohen of

757
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: the you've gotten that before. I've gotten that a lot.

758
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: He's very handsome guy. I don't really have one. I

759
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: would say early early Michael J. Foxy basically just basically

760
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: we're just looking for a short act. There's a lot

761
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,680

Speaker 1: associate said Ben Stiller. M all right, well the casting

763
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: person is also thinking box office, right, especially like reality

764
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: reality bites, ben Stiller, I would say, because she asked, like,

765
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: is what about ages? I said, you could be a

766
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: little bit. That was met with crickets. Though, let's be honest,

767
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: that was we're still pondering. That's fair. I like him. Listen, listen,

768
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: I guess you can't hit it. You can't hit all

769
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: home runs. Mark Sessler, um Around the League writer and

770

Speaker 1: also podcast stalwart Mark Sessler, any thoughts. First one that

771
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: came to my mind was James Franco and I don't

772
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: know why, but that's what came to mind from me.

773
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: I could see that, I could see that I was

774
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna go a meal. Hirsch. M that's a very good one.

775
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: Do you know who that is? Yes, he played into

776
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: the wild. I think that's why I mark going in

777
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: to the wild. That's basically the connection. Mighty. I don't

778
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: know if that's get her at but I enjoy it.

779
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: Who's like fifty five right now? I think, all right,

780
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: this this one was. I like that Emily chose such

781
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: an unlikable star for me too. That shows that shows

782
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: where her vind's at. I got it. What do you mean?

783
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: Ben still is unlike a little lot of likable I

784
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: think to the average person, is this gonna end with

785
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,959
Speaker 1: me losing my job? Casey Affleck was her first thought,

786
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: and that you thought about it, and she said she

787
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: wanted to go with Jacquem Phoenix and her explanation jaquin

788
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: stupid name and asked why And this is her quote

789
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: on instant Messenger. A lot of layers there. I liked it.

790
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: Emily when it came to my role had too came

791
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: up with an answer. Then it's had to stop, reboot

792
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: the machine, think deeper about it, and come back with

793
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: something else. I don't know what it says about Cessler,

794
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: but you know the other options and would thrown out one.

795
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: It's like Cessor, we can think of five or six

796
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: good ones. Maybe he's a shape shift there. Yeah, um

797
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: Zach Goldman, the gold standard behind the glass. Um. Emily

798
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: does not really know you enough, so I didn't really

799
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: she didn't want to venture a guest with you, but

800
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: I did come up with one. The kid from almost Famous. Oh,

801
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. What's his name? I

802
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: think that is his name? Change his name to the

803
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: kid I'm gonna go with a meal? Hersh again? Is

804
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: that the kid from Almost Famous? Though? Is that the

805
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: same person? No, it's not the same person. That's good.

806
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: I've gotten. Uh, that's a good one, though. I've gotten

807
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: breck and Meyer quite a bit. Oh not sure that's

808
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: ever a good thing. But no road trips star breck

809
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: and Meyer. That is unfair. And also not a helicopter

810
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: piloting rat race. Tons of big roles and like seventeen fails,

811
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: it comes and Kevin Patrick coming at you. Our Chicago correspondent,

812
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: a t L writer, Emily has not really gotten to

813
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: know Kevin at all either, so she didn't want to

814
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: venture a guest. Lucky for you, Yeah, unlucky for Emily.

815
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: Patrick is a great character. But we will take a

816
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: shot at it, right, why don't we? And I would

817
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: like I'll throw this one out there because I was

818
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: thinking about it downstairs. Somebody a little salt of the earth,

819
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: kind of masculine. Mark Wahlberg, m hmmm, I like that.

820
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: I can't top that. That that fits. That's good all.

821
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: I can't think of anything except for Jake Johnson in

822
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: the movie Drinking, So that's really just a character the

823
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: New Girls star Jake Johnson. But I could totally see

824
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: that because they kind of have some personality traits that

825
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: they share as well. Salt the but also salty salty

826
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: out there in my mind, and I I feel like

827
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: we've kind of missed the boat on this one. For

828
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: your job, Emily with that one, oh yeah. And then

829
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: finally my wife said, I was John ham alright, so

830
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: come on what because it is your wife, what's wrong?

831
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: Is that really? Or is that your your joke? Listen?

832
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: She said that, and I think she just didn't want

833
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: to go down that road with me, and I understood it. Okay,

834
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: you know the best casting dishesn't she ever made in

835
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: your life? Casting you as a husband. We all killed

836
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot older. Is this us like in seven or

837
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: eight years? On the podcast, I said, you could be

838
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of keep it flexible at the age I would

839
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: have maybe for you and your this is gonna go

840
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: straight to your head. Um Baldwin, well, he's my spirit animal.

841
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of think, hey, I'm thinking

842
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: box office too. Well, you can't go more to his

843
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: head than John Hamm. She basically chose like whose universal

844
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: best looking I knew exactly what the score was. When

845
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: she wrote that, that did not go to my head.

846
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, let's keep moving. Another holiday would

847
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: film with no female roles? Yeah? Is there? Like am

848
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm the vanguard on that front. It can tell us

849
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: who we oh we should look at, should do that,

850
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: and then we'll post the results anyway. That's that was

851
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: the casting of the A T L. Move. Well done

852
