Speaker 1: It Quick Books, the official sponsor of the NFL. My

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis. I'm coming to you from a

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: city filled with heroes in bunkers. Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Boys? Hey Dan, Hey buddays,

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: how are you doing. Dan. It's reports that you've filed

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: to us throughout the day sound like things are on

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: the edge to some degree. I have, for reasons not

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: necessary to dig into much of taken on all parent

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: bearing child rearing responsibilities here in the home as of

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: about seven pm last night. And um, it's interesting, I

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: have a I have a monitor set up right now

14
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: to keep my eye on my children while my wife sleeps.

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: She has come down with an illness, not the illness,

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: but a different one. So things are pretty terrible here

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: at the old Zeus or manor as as it's known

18
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: by nobody. This is where the real challenge is coming in.

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Now Here we are global pandemic, nowhere to run, nowhere

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: to hide. And if Dad gets put in a spot

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: where he's got to do it all and then Dad

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: doesn't even have things like you know, run to the

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: grocery store to get a like a quick dinner or

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: even really feel comfortable with a delivery situation for the kids,

25
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: uh and foods running out in the house, and the

26
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: grocery store has a line out the out the door

27
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: going down the sidewalk, and the children just never never

28
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: anybody with young children, especially young boys, they never stop

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: eating their sharks. They just keep moving and they keep eating,

30
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: and they always want to be entertained. So when you

31
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: throw in um hosting a popular NFL podcast in the

32
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: middle of that day, it's been it's been quite a

33
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: run for the old Zuser here at Zuser Manor. Well,

34
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: we can take this offline later. But I got a

35
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: freezer full of like pasta's and chilies. I can make

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: it like a Santa Claus drop down your chimney. I mean,

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: that is a very nice uh thought and offer West.

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: And if if it comes to the situation where the uh,

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: the cupboard is bare and the children are in danger,

40
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: I might hit you up on that. We are not

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: that far off. Things are unstable at Zuser Manor. I mean,

42
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm ready to break into West's house to steal any

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: sort of paper, toiletry items that he has without him knowing.

44
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at at this point. I mean, I

45
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: hear you. There is there Like yesterday felt like an

46
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: upbeat day, Um, I felt I think that our show

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of portrayed some of that. I woke up this

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: morning just feeling like I don't know why, but things

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: feel weird and pressing today. Then you get out of it,

50
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: but that our houses hit various elements of breaking point tension,

51
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: and then you've gotta somehow grasp on a reality and

52
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: get out of that. But it has been a weird,

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: um couple of weeks. It's a great call. There is

54
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: a sense I've been on a bit of an emotional

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: roller coaster with this as well, where you kind of

56
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: look at the bright side of it one day and

57
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: then the next day it just seems like there's no

58
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel. Uh, this is

59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: one of those days for me. But then tomorrow, you know,

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Emily's feeling better, maybe the kids are

61
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a little calmed down, and I have a little extra time,

62
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like well, I like being

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: at home and I like spending time with my children

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. It it is kind of like

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: this this push and pull to be in the middle

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: of this scenario. Yeah, this feels like a universal thing

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: where some days you feel bright and sunny and other

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: days it's like anything can set you off. You know,

69
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: when I hear somebody's not taking this seriously, it really

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: depresses me. When I hear things coming from our leaders

71
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: that they're not taking it seriously, it really depresses me.

72
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: And then you wake up another day and the neighbors

73
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: are great. You walk out and get around the neighborhood.

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's treating each other exceptionally friendly, and everybody's getting along well.

75
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: So I think we're all just on that same ride

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: where every day is a little bit different. My strategy

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: with with my son has been to just do anything

78
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: possible to tire him out because that will just leave him,

79
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: um easier to handle. But then that just tires you out.

80
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: It's not it's not necessarily a full proof strategy. But

81
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: we have, um we have been those people that I

82
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: think other uh Angelino's have been annoyed at. I have

83
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: been to the beach. I think five out of the

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: last Here's the thing, though, here's the thing we're not.

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: We're never anywhere near anyone. I mean, we go to

86
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: a go to a remote part. We're walking by ourselves.

87
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: So it's it's like we walk around our neighborhood a lot,

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: like quite a bit in our neighborhood is more crowded

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: with people walking around than than the beach area ever is.

90
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: We're very what about what about Greg? Germs in the

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, the sea breeze air? What am I? What

92
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: am I touching? Were don't we don't know what you're touching,

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: we're taking we don't know. We're talking a hermit crab.

94
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: We brought a hermit crab home for a couple of days,

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: then brought it back to the ocean today and Walker

96
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: sadly cried when he I said, you gotta let him,

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: you gotta let him be home. Well, if you heard

98
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: that the the COVID nineteen can be transmitted through canines

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: as well, how do you know that hermit crabs are

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: not also um prone to it? And then you dump

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: that into the sea. Feel like Greg didn't research that.

102
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm just our turtle. It is pretty lethargic these days,

103
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: and we're a little worried. I think that This is

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: a good lesson for you men to just be appreciative

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: of how much your wives do. Dan, I mean, I

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 1: think right now, you help out a lot, of course,

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: but when you know, the maternal role is normally in

108
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: most families the main role, and I think it's good

109
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: that you acknowledge that. And I hope you treat Emily

110
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: with a bunch of hugs and kisses when she's feeling better.

111
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: It is a very nice thought, and I agree with you.

112
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: I sometimes cringe when eight year old single people tell

113
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: me how I should be dealing with my family situation,

114
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: which is a fairly complex, uh scenario, But I do,

115
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: at the same time absolutely agree with you. Emily runs

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: the home very well, and it doesn't really it doesn't

117
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: hum too efficiently without her, So it's just kind of

118
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: like a stay alive scenario for the children and myself,

119
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: right you. Meanwhile, Eric was like virtual Rave kicks off

120
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: at three pm. It's kind of my specific time. Well, no,

121
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I don't know what it's like now.

122
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: You don't mean Thor only has his heartwarm medication. He's

123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: down to seven pills. He might run out by the

124
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: end of August. My favorite thing is when Dago Earths

125
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: talk about what it's like having a kid, it's nothing

126
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: like having a kid. Well, you have good perspective. There

127
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: are people out there, uh, Colleen Wolf who do think

128
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: it's like having a kid. Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.

129
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: But you also, I mean, I went to school to

130
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: be a teacher for the longest time. So I was

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: in a preschool all day, five days a week, taking

132
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: care of three and four year old like fifteen of them.

133
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: And I had my own third grade class my senior

134
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: year of high school that I was a student teacher.

135
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: So I don't live with them. I get to drop

136
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: them off, but I do feel like I'm very versed

137
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: in the world of children. Yeah, I can see that

138
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a great mother one day, Erica, I hope. So, yeah,

139
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I could see that. All right. Today's show, UH is

140
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: a good one because we're gonna hit a lot of news.

141
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: There is a solid amount of news that has come

142
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: in over the last twenty four hours, so we're gonna

143
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: hit all of that, including the official end of the

144
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: cam Newton era in Charlotte UH and some movements on

145
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: the before Tuesday's staggnedant wide receiver market, So let's get

146
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: into all that also a little bit later. UM, I

147
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: have a new power rankings up. I was asked by

148
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: our editor Phil Specter to put together a post first

149
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: wave of free agency power rankings, which I have a

150
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: bit of a fundamental issue with, but listen, it's my job,

151
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: so I do it. And UM, I don't want to

152
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: go through the numbers because I don't think, um the

153
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: numbers mean anything at all on March, but some things

154
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: and doing research on thirty two teams that jumped out

155
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: to me that I just wanted to share with you.

156
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: So we'll hit that at the end of the show.

157
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: But first, let's do some news. It's funny to hear

158
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: female talk about routes like alright, Like I said, Cam

159
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: Newton is officially unattached, the number one overall pick of

160
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the two thousand NFL Draft, the most uh successful quarterback

161
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: in the history of the Carolina Panthers, is no longer

162
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: part of the team. They make it official, releasing the

163
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: former MVP. After trying to get a trade done with

164
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: multiple teams, it just was not happening, so the Panthers

165
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: felt their hands were tied. They had to move on.

166
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: They didn't want it to get UH any messier than

167
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: it already was. And UH as we know, has has

168
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: been made very clear by what we've seen in the

169
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: actions of the new management and head coach. They're looking

170
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: for a fresh start that does not include Cam Newton.

171
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: So he is now um a free agent. According to ESPN,

172
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Newton took and passed a physical on Monday, which is

173
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: good news, Greg Rosenthal, um as he now hits the

174
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: open market, and now the question begins, how long does

175
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: he stay on the open market? Yeah, the fact there

176
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: was no trade market for him makes me think he

177
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: could be out there in free agency for a while

178
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: until players and life at in general starts going back

179
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: to normal and they can, like a team can visit

180
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: with him. Because the fact that Kyle Allen had more

181
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: trade value than Cam Newton among Panthers quarterbacks is one

182
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: of the most surprising things, Like I think that's happened

183
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: since we've started doing this show. And maybe I'm an optimist,

184
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: but I do believe there's a real chance for Cam

185
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: Newton to have a good second act of his career.

186
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the things that are happening

187
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL in terms of scheme and the way

188
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: offense is played fits Cam Newton's strength. He's only thirty

189
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: years old. The shoulder injury is is the bigger concern.

190
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: It's two years ago now though, and like I can

191
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: imagine him having a totally resurgent act on a different

192
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: team in I found the semantics of this whole exercise

193
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: a little baffling. He was given permission to seek a

194
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: trade he did not want. He didn't want a trade,

195
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: but you know, and then he had no interest there.

196
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: He was unable to drive interest because of the uncertainty.

197
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to pay nineteen twenty million for him at

198
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: a time when he hasn't played well since his armage,

199
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: since his shoulder injury, shoulder surgery, then he had the

200
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: foot surgery. So there's so much uncertainty there um And

201
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: to me, the Chargers make so much sense. But they

202
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: seem to be fine with Tyrod Taylor. So I think

203
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: unless the Chargers go get him, he's gonna be a

204
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: guy who's fighting for a job in training camp. Yes

205
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: to your to your point, and you said the mechanics

206
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: of the trade were a little or the mechanics of

207
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: the situation we're a little odd. I agree when Cam

208
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: Newton gets permission to seek a trade. Is that how

209
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: this works? I thought the teams work with other teams

210
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: for a trade. Cam Newton was what gonna be his

211
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: management was gonna be reaching out to other teams saying, hey,

212
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: trade for me. I don't I don't understand that that's

213
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: an all a brinch. They would allow Cam Newton to

214
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: go somewhere that he wanted to go. I mean that

215
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: does happen pretty frequently, versus them shipping Cam Newton to uh,

216
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, another world like situation that he'd hate. I

217
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: guess my point. Maybe it's just a matter of just

218
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: parsing of words. But why didn't you work with your

219
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: current team and then that team would reach out to

220
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: a team you were interested in. I just the whole

221
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: thing like a start, And Cam was obviously angry about

222
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: it because he had no interest in doing any of that. Sometimes,

223
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, an agent does drive the entire trade process,

224
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: and then they they bring it to the team that

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: they have and here's you know, and they work together.

226
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's the other way. I heard before the scouting

227
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: combine that the that the Panthers were trying to trade

228
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: Cam Newton way before they ever put this statement out

229
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: there and that they had no bites. And when they

230
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: put this statement out there, to me, it was an

231
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: admission that we're probably gonna cut him. We know no

232
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: one really wants him. This is our last hail Mary

233
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: as free agency starts to see if we can scare

234
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: up any interest when the market might be changing a

235
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: little bit, and that we can get something for it.

236
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: They didn't play it well, but ultimately no other teams

237
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: want I believe them that no other teams wanted him,

238
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: or else we would have seen seen a trade, like

239
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: every team out there just wanted him to be a

240
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: free agent and deal with him. Then, I mean again,

241
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bears have selected a lesser uh

242
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: starter with way more injury uh mystery like scenarios in

243
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Nick Foles than Cam Newton. And you at this point

244
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton, because there's too many quarterbacks, has to

245
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: look as a for a backup job. I think he's

246
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: just a tough guy to have as a backup because

247
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: your average NFL fan is gonna want to see the

248
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: minute trouble strikes Cam Newton on the field. And if

249
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: if that weren't the case, if there weren't a lot

250
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: of that kind of potential tug drama, tug on Cam

251
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: Newton to put them out there. I could look at

252
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: a team like the Bills, where you have Sean McDermott,

253
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: who knows Cam Newton right, They've got Matt Barkley behind

254
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: a guy and Josh Allen, who is still a bit

255
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: of a wild card. Cam Newton is is not Josh Allen,

256
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: but they have some similar traits and do some similar

257
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: things on offense. I mean, there are landing spots, but

258
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: I just think it's a lot for a coaching staff

259
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: to handle if he's your number two, because he's still,

260
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: to Greg's point, I think has a whole second part

261
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: of his career and as an alluring athlete, how do

262
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: you hold him down? If you're in trouble in week six?

263
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: Do it, John Elway, do it. You're you're the team.

264
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: This is it. I'm totally with you guys. In fact,

265
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: in the latest Power Ranks, I'm getting killed. Uh. In

266
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: my mentions by Broncos fans, I had them a little

267
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: low in the mid twenties, and it's because I just

268
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: quite simply don't like their QB set up right now,

269
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: and I think it could lead to run potentially for

270
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: that team. They need a little more insurance at the

271
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: game's most important position. In other news, Trent Williams, Oh,

272
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: you know they set Camfrey in Charlotte. Now do the

273
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: same for Trent Williams. Williams and landover uh. ESPN's Adam

274
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Schefter reports that Williams agent Vincent Taylor told the Redskins it's,

275
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: in quote the best interest to trade or relate or

276
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: release him. Here's more of the quote. The relationship between

277
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: the Redskins and Trent Williams has reached a point where

278
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: it's been the best interest at the Redskins trade to

279
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: release him. Uh, and it is time to move on.

280
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: So is it gonna happen? Is this gonna do any

281
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: thing to push the Redskins and nudge them forward? So

282
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: far it's been a total stalemate. I feel like this

283
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: happens every Tuesday, right the weekly Trent Williams trader release

284
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: request happens every Tuesday. Hasn't happened yet, We'll see. I

285
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that now it's with this new regime,

286
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: where like there was this initial sense that Ron Rivera

287
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: is gonna come in and do what the totally ridiculous

288
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: Redskins front office could not do for years, which is,

289
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, keep veteran players from wanting to exodus. I

290
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: mean Quentin Dunbar is another guy that basically said, get

291
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: me out of here, and so you know, it's Trent

292
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Williams to me. The one thing I find interesting is

293
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: that some of these teams that have been just not penciled,

294
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: but like permanent markred in to take a tackle in

295
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the first round, if you gave up a second rounder

296
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: and got Trent Williams, you maybe can go find someone

297
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: else in the draft. That's some of these teams that

298
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: are slotted. I think of Cleveland, the Jets, others that

299
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: are like we're we just say you're gonna take a

300
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: tackle no matter what. What if you give a second

301
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: for Trent Williams who's there for two or three years

302
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: probably and you go get a different type of player.

303
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: But no one's biting on that. And to the to

304
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: that point which you're making mark that there are teams

305
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: in the first round, in the first ten, twelve, fifteen

306
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: picks that are all thought to be heavily in the

307
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: market for alignment. There's there, according to Draft Knicks, out

308
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: there there are three and perhaps four real blue chip

309
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: tackle prospects, and there's a chance that they're all off

310
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: the board before let's say the Jets pick at eleven.

311
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: The Browns are picking a ten, and a lot of

312
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: people have circled them in permanent marker mark mark like

313
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,479
Speaker 1: you're saying, and it makes me think that the Redskins

314
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: might be better off. And this isn't probably great news

315
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: to Trent Williams or his agent uh to kind of

316
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: wait this out. And if one of those teams that

317
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: are in desperate need of line help end up getting

318
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: banged by the draft process where they don't have the

319
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: guy they were hoping was sitting there, maybe Trent Williams

320
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: becomes the plan B that they make somewhat of a

321
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: panic transaction for and you do end up getting the

322
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: higher end draft pick that the Redskins obviously want out

323
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: of this. This is the longest stand still I can remember,

324
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: and in terms of a player team like fighting each other.

325
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson, I feel like I went fourteen fifteen years

326
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: that was going on, took forever back with the San

327
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers, But man, this this thing needs to end,

328
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: if if only for our rundown we don't need another Tuesday.

329
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Trent Williams just put him on another team. In other

330
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: NFC East offensive line news, the Cowboys lose Travis Frederick,

331
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: who announced his retirement from the NFL after seven seasons

332
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: just twenty nine years old, turned twenty nine last week.

333
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: He missed all the season with gillian bar syndrome. Uh.

334
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: He started last last season, he came back, started sixteen games,

335
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: went to the Pro Bowl. But this is a type

336
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: of affliction that uh lingers from what I understand west

337
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: I I read an old timey Chris Westling piece when

338
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: this first went down. Uh that, you know Frederick is

339
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: something he perhaps was dealing with for the rest of

340
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: his life. And maybe that's what's behind this. Maybe there's

341
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: something else, But Frederick is done with the NFL, and

342
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a hole in the middle of their

343
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah, that had to be part of the

344
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: factoring in. And he joins a list of Luke Keickley,

345
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: Andrew luck Gronk, Calvin Johnson, Patrick Willis, Chris Borland, guys

346
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: who all retired at thirty or or underage thirty UM

347
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: in the last half decade or so. Uh. The Cowboys

348
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: did draft Connor govern And what are the odds, um

349
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: that there are two Connor McGovern's in the NFL at

350
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: the same time playing the same position. Uh, he's um.

351
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: He sat out all of last year with a torn

352
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: pectoral muscle muscle, but they drafted him in third round.

353
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: He was a pretty good prospect, um, so they've got

354
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: a plan there. They played Joe Joe Looney at center

355
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen, and Zeke Elli actually had a

356
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: better year with Joe Looney at center in two thousand

357
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: eighteen than he did with Travis Frederick last year. So

358
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't think this is some dire situation for the Cowboys.

359
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: It's massive, though, just because you never got in Frederick

360
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: thought he played at a diminished level last year, and

361
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: he said he did say, battling the illness, it was

362
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: really hard to you know, get to his full strength

363
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: and he didn't want to play at this level, Like

364
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: you're never getting that Travis Frederick back, which, like Patrick

365
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: Willis and Gronk and some of the people you mentioned list,

366
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: was on a Hall of Fame trajectory. I mean, he

367
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: was the best center in the league for much of

368
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: his time in the league. So that whole the whole

369
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: reputation of the Cowboys is this great offensive line, and

370
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: they still probably were last year at a top five

371
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: or six offensive line. They're gonna have some work to

372
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: do now to to keep up that reputation. I think

373
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: it's interesting that, like, you know, I would imagine that

374
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: percent of people covering the NFL have no concept of

375
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: what Gillian Barr syndrome does to your body. And Frederick

376
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: has gone out of his way multiple times to try

377
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: to explain what what that is, and I how can

378
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: anyone No one's critiquing them, but like he just simply

379
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: talked about facing a struggle every single day, a struggle

380
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: that no one else from the outside really saw. And

381
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: so it's too bad because he was an incredible, you know,

382
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: part of a line that was the best in the NFL.

383
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: But this is happening to more and more players, and

384
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: we're seeing more and more saying that there's any health issues.

385
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: I'm not going to continue to toil like it's and

386
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: in the off season I work at a meat packing plan.

387
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: It's like, no, they've built their wealth and you have

388
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: to consider your future. Who else is in the same name,

389
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: different dude club. There's famously Adrian Peterson, the Bears defensive back,

390
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Cam Newton Newton, he wasn't Adrian Peterson a

391
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: running back? Yeah? The oh wow, I thought it a

392
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: dB down back. So he's on, He's on. Matt Rushmore

393
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: are those guys. But there's Cam Newton the quarterback and

394
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton I think what was like a pudgy right

395
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: regard or something. Yeah. The problem with Tom Brady that

396
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: our former NFL colleague. That's problematic the NFL media executive

397
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: in the quarterback exactly. The problem with the same name,

398
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: different dude, Mount Rushmore is you can only put two

399
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: sets on and then we've got our two. So yeah,

400
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: I love Vernon Tom Brady the NFL media. Tom Brady

401
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite guys that worked with at

402
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: this company. So I'm gonna like push hard to have

403
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: him on there. Some people are gonna be confused, but

404
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: you put TV twelve the goat Tom Brady, NFL network,

405
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: and then what do we want to throw on the

406
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: Newton Peterson or McGovern not mcgovernen Peterson McGovern is you know, well,

407
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: Peterson and Newton have similar strengths, both very you know,

408
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: attractive young men. I think Adrian Peterson, the fact that

409
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: they were both running backs for a while. When you

410
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: were in fantasy drafts, like you did not want to

411
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: be the person that drafted the wrong Adrian. That happened,

412
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: I mistake, but you definitely happened. That happened. Um, alright,

413
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: moving on. The wide receiver market is finally moving, so

414
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: let's go through it. We mentioned the Panthers moving on

415
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: from Cam Newton. Well, they welcome former Jet Robbie Anderson

416
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: on a two year, twenty million contract. Um schefter had

417
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: it his twelve million in two thousand twenty. Uh. He

418
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: reunites with Matt Rule, which a little bit of connected

419
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: dots that nobody else really had done, at least I

420
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it. Uh. Anderson was undrafted at a Temple,

421
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: but his coach at Temple was Matt Rule. So uh,

422
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: this is a I think, a quality signing for any team,

423
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: especially at that price. Uh. The word throughout December and

424
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: into January and then leading up to free agency was

425
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: that Robby Anderson thought he could get anywhere from thirteen

426
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: to fifteen million. He doesn't really come close to that.

427
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: But the Teddy Bridgewater led Panthers now have a deep

428
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: thread who can do some damage. I think Panthers fans

429
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: are confused about, like what's going on here, because like

430
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fans out there there for some reason

431
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: obsessed with the idea of tanking, as if that really

432
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: works in the NFL, Like they want their team to

433
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: be bad, and they're like, why are we even bothering

434
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: to sign like Teddy Bridgewater right now, Robbie Anderson. That's

435
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: just not how the NFL works. And I'm intrigued to

436
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: see what Matt Rule does with his offense in his

437
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: first year. I'm not expecting them to go to the

438
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl or anything, but you should be trying to

439
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: win some games and see who you're gonna have long

440
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: term and for that money and the familiarity that he adds.

441
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: And I think that receiving group needed one more player

442
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: to really make it dynamic that I think they're gonna

443
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: want to have four receivers on the field a lot

444
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: of snaps. I think it's a great pickup. I'll tell

445
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: you one person who did connect the dots between uh,

446
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Matt Rule and Robby Anderson. That was Peter Schrager, who

447
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: put very very effective information late in tweet the minute

448
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: this move went down, And a part B to that

449
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: is that when we were at the Combine, Dan, you

450
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: and I had that UMA did but wait, did the

451
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: nugget come out after the move went down or in

452
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: the weeks leading up to the movie. That's fair, But

453
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to give Peter Schreeger points here because he

454
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he was sitting on that. It was

455
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: too explosive. You're trying to get back in goods. I

456
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: just think that, No, I'm not. I I am an

457
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: open mind, so I can see the incredible skills that

458
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: that Peter Schreeger brings. The table part be to this, Dan,

459
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: you and I had a very I would label an

460
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: excessive night um at the Combine. Erica was part of

461
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: that early on in the evening and we actually, I

462
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you were in the room when we

463
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: were around U a a square shaped bar when none

464
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: other than Matt Rule, well I was by myself, walked

465
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: up to me and just said, you know, I've seen

466
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: your show. I just think you guys do good stuff.

467
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: I'm Att Rule, I'm the coach of the Panthers. I

468
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I am familiar with who you are.

469
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: Why are you walking I'm thinking like this is the

470
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: coolest thing any coach has ever done. So he could

471
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: go and burn down the city of Carolina. And I

472
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: would say, would move Matt rules City of Carolina? Well

473
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: fair enough that the region? All right? The region? He

474
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: could he burnt the whole region down, see you, Charlotte

475
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: by by Carolina, I'd say this coach has a plan. Well,

476
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: look at through skill position town. There aren't many teams

477
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: who have more interesting skill position talent than Christian McCaffrey,

478
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Curtis, Samuel Robby, Anderson, Ian Thomas. I think,

479
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: look at that whole division. Who's let's play a game

480
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: of would you rather Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Hayden Hurst,

481
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, Emmanuel Sanders, Michael Thomas, the Panthers group, and

482
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: who's the other team? Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, O J. Howard, Cameron,

483
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: Brad mm Saucy division goes back to the dirty South

484
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: always Uh yeah, Greg's NFC South fascination is suddenly looking

485
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: right on point it is. And and for the Teddy

486
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: Bridge Riter fans out there, man, he could not have

487
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: fallen into a better situation. I mean, I don't know

488
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: if he it was all by like his excellent play.

489
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: But this is his chance. I mean, if he's ever

490
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: going to have a chance, this is it. With all

491
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: these weapons around him in an offense, I think that's

492
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a little different than some others. With a

493
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: guy with a limited rout tree but ability to make

494
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: downfield plays, you definitely want to pair him with a

495
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: quarterback who averages six yards per ten. I think it's

496
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: gonna go. I think it's gonna go. Six air yards

497
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: per used to throw great, air yards, used to throw great.

498
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: We all love Eddy, we all want him to do well.

499
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: And I and um, I've been on record on this

500
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: podcast that I wanted Anderson back with the Jets, and

501
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Jets fans are disappointed about it.

502
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: But I do take a little bit of solace in

503
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: that Joe Douglas, the general managers, he's exercising some prudence

504
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: and he's doing it a little differently than past g

505
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: ms of the Jets have done, where they just bombed

506
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: the draft and then try to make big splashes and

507
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: free agency are overpaid to keep a guy or get

508
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: a guy they used to have like a Durell reevas

509
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: or in this case Robbie Anderson. They set a price

510
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: tag on Robbie. It turned out that that was just

511
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. And that's it. So I'm putting my

512
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: face eight and Big Joe d and I think Jet

513
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: Sven should do the same. It's time for it to

514
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: be done differently. UH in Floren Park, the state of

515
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Floren Park. UM other wide receiver note news Philip Dorsey

516
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: he leaves the Patriots for the Seattle Seahawks. UH last

517
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: year UM he had nearly four yards receiving. The Patriots

518
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: couldn't move the ball through the air for much of

519
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: the season, especially as it UM went down the stretch.

520
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Doorset never really emerged. Greg. Will he emerge with Russell

521
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: Wilson and Brian Schottenheimer. Probably not, But he's a nice

522
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: like fourth receiver role player. I'll always have a lot

523
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: of UM appreciation for the catch Philip Dorset made in

524
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship against the Chiefs. That is

525
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: one of the great UH Patriots catches of this of

526
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: their run that they had. Snort. Come on, it's like

527
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: I have a lot of time. I see a lot

528
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: of people like honking about that. Tom Bray he didn't

529
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: have to do anything in the Super Bowl to beat

530
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: the Rams. It's like they dragged him to that Super Bowl.

531
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: It's like, go watch the game where he put up

532
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in a row to get them to the

533
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Philip dor Set stepping up. Big good

534
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: job by you taking the attention off of that game

535
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: and putting it on another one. There you go another.

536
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: But the game before that where they put up forty points,

537
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean they were they were doing all right. It's

538
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: all over now you ate special. No ball rose at all.

539
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: It's like curtains, I'll be it does it does change

540
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: the bar, Like it will be a lot more exciting

541
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: when they go ten and six and the Jets roster

542
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: that is like among the least talented in the league

543
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: goes five and eleven, Like it'll be way more satisfying

544
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: than a normal tenant three starting players on the rosters. Exactly,

545
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: I can't say anything until things change. So but just no,

546
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: you knowin't special. Another middling wide receiver news Travis Benjamin,

547
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: formerly of the Charges. He's now a member of the

548
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: forty niners. Uh now thirty years old. Funny how it

549
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: sneaks up on you. Um so he enters that wide

550
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: receiver room. Uh, the day after Emmanuel Sanders exits. Well,

551
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: I think it's easy to draw the connection between him

552
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: and Taylor Gabriel and the old Falcon's offense. That speak guy.

553
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: Just have him run those go routes and beat people deep,

554
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: especially on play action passes. That's what I would see

555
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan doing with him. I think Shanahan worked with

556
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Benjamin in Cleveland. I'd have to. I think he was

557
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: still there at that point, so that I believe he

558
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: knows him. And you're right, he plays that similar role. Oh,

559
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: we gotta dispatch from the players Tribune. Oh that newsroom

560
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: is going wild right now? Are they even allowed to

561
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: be together? Play Jeter? Jeeter just swung the door open

562
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: with a big cigar in his mouth, and he said,

563
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy, you're on deadline. Give me something about Tom

564
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: Brady and the fallout I wanted ten minutes ago. And then, Uh,

565
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: mccorty wrote a post on the Player's Tribune and part

566
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: of it read like this. People are going to say

567
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: that because Tom's gone, the dynasty is over. They're already

568
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: burying us as far as I can tell. And that's fine,

569
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: this is how he talks. We've never listened to the noise,

570
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: and we're not about to start now. But the task

571
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: is definitely taller this coming year than it has been

572
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: in years past. There's more work to do and it's

573
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: not going to be so easy this time around. That's

574
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: where the new challenge comes in. I mean, I think

575
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy might command a room a little bit more

576
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: than you port. That was actually Ricky played the SoundBite

577
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: that was I want Ricky to send that just those

578
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: twenty seconds out as a social video. That's it. We

579
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: don't need any context, nothing else that has read the quote.

580
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: I just read the quote anyway. So, and it's mid March.

581
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: Devin mccorty thinks the Patriots are still special. I disagree.

582
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: Isn't that the flip side though? That like their their

583
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: motivation is we can even if they they all love

584
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to show that they can still go twelve

585
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: and four. The biggest thing about the about Devin mccordy

586
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: is these are he has a twin. We all get that,

587
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Uh they are twins where a shared Twitter account. I

588
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: there's more to attack in this situation, but that to

589
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: me feels Um, like, it's not a bit, but it's

590
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: certainly it's I'm not I'm not a huge fan of it,

591
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: but you guys can hit the like their charity foundation,

592
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: it was the mccority Foundations. Well, I'm sure that's then

593
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: not then I can't say anything about it because it

594
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: was for a nice cause. But I just you know,

595
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: it's from the Twitter angle. It kind of bugs me

596
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: if they're sharing a social media account. What's happened with

597
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: the d m s by the way, Yeah, what else

598
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: is being shared? Rick they do? Maybe they share a room, roommates.

599
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: They both have a big families, and they're getting to

600
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: now grow up next to each other in uh cold

601
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: state of Massachusetts. Twins have that special connections, So I'm

602
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: not gonna try to tear Other news, Quentin Dunbar traded

603
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks from the Redskins in exchange for a

604
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: fifth round pick. Veteran defensive back Jimmy Smith signs a

605
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: new one year deal to stay with the Ravens, and

606
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: running back Peyton Barber, formerly of the Buccaneers, signs of

607
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: the Redskins two years, three million dollar contract. Uh, anyone

608
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: else have anything to add on those players? Well, I

609
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: think Seahawks fans are excited about Dunbar. P f F

610
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: graded him number two among cornerbacks last year UH in

611
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: coverage and he I think he allowed under a six

612
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: passer rating. He's a big corner six to Pete Carroll

613
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: loves him. Um. But the Redskins are Ron River and

614
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio or his own coaches, so they're not

615
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: gonna have as much use for Dunbar. There makes a

616
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: little sense for everyone involved. Someone explained to me how

617
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: the Redskins have gotten any better under Ron Rivere at

618
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: this point, I did. I I see players wanting out.

619
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's gonna take time. But this

620
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: is once the what maybe the most low wattage team

621
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: in all of sports a year ago. Uh. Other than

622
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: the fact that I love the fact that they finished

623
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: games in about one hour and fifty eight minutes. That

624
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: was pleasant, But I mean, what's what's the sea change

625
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: so far? They've added Peyton Barber. Ah, it was that

626
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: they have a Kendall Fuller. I do love me some

627
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller. They added him. That was a good bargain

628
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: uh in free agency, but yeah, they losing outut of

629
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: MARII Cooper. I think that's going to be the defining

630
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: moment of their off season, that that Amari Cooper took

631
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: less money from the Cowboys to stick it to the

632
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: old red Smarts. It's smarts. Uh. And finally in the news,

633
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 1: an interesting wrinkle to the Marcus Mariotta signing by the Raiders. Uh,

634
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: it's a two year, seventeen point six million dollar contract

635
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. However, Uh, there's kind of more heat

636
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: to it than what um we originally thought because he'll

637
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: get seven and a half million guaranteed in which is Greg,

638
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: you're the source of these things. But that's pretty good

639
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: backup quarterback money. Correct. Yeah, that's that's good. It's pretty good,

640
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: pretty good, better and with better and with incentives. And

641
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: this is what really jumps out to me anyway, Mariotta

642
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: connet over million. So a good job by his agent

643
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: that gave him not some bum I got. I lost

644
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: my job and I have to reset my whole career

645
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: deal where I'm signing for two years and seven million

646
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: or something. He has a deal that really does give

647
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: him an opportunity to get some guap if he does

648
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: overtake the quarterback And I would imagine if this worked

649
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: out for him, other guys like him would try to

650
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: get the same deal in the future. It's a deal

651
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: that got some criticism though I know. Um, I think

652
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: agents and reporters were surprised he did anything more than

653
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: a year. Basically that if that they they thought the

654
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: Raiders really got him under control in a way that

655
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: like the Titans didn't with Tannehill, because if Riota does

656
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: come in and is a standout for half a season,

657
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: he's still not getting many incentives, and then they have

658
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: him for very cheap next year, when if it's a

659
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: one year deal, you can go back in the market,

660
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: you get the franchise tag um. So it got some criticism.

661
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was fine. I didn't have a big

662
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: take on it either way. I think Mariota had a

663
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: pretty good market, Like that's why he got some money, haven't.

664
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: We also learned though that if if he has a

665
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: great year this year, players have leverage and it's he's

666
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: not locked in forever to that second year or whatever

667
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: it would end up being. That's not backup quarterback contract.

668
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: That's saying we expect you to play at some point

669
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: contract and you'll see bridge quarterbacks get something like them,

670
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: But there are no backups making seven point five million

671
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: guaranteed on their bass salary in their first year. Just

672
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: doesn't You might see that once in a blue moon

673
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: if we last year was pretty similar. But you're right,

674
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: it's pretty rare. If we traveled through next season and

675
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota is starting ten eleven games for whatever reason,

676
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton is sitting on the on the bench,

677
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: I I don't know what's happened here. And if i'm

678
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm car I'm a little bit annoyed by the specifics

679
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: of the contract because again it fuels that feeling that

680
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: my team secretly doubts me or not so secretly doubts me. However,

681
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: I still I'm very happy or with how it turned out.

682
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: I have a middling in house competition in my building.

683
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: If I play well, I should be okay. There's not

684
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: even he himself is middling. So it's I I don't

685
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know. I find it to see. Well,

686
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: that's a I have a moderate disagreement that I think

687
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: he is a step above middling, not that high up,

688
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: but I think he's better than Mariota and his numbers

689
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: over his career. I just think the Gruden. It's the

690
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: X factor there, because you know you're going to at

691
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: some point Gruden is going to be frustrated with car

692
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: and it may not be an injury, it maybe just

693
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: flat out I'm done with this situation if he throws

694
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: some killer pick at the end of a game, and

695
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: let's see what we have with Mario. I mean, Gruden

696
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: just seems like again the endless wandering I with the

697
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: quarterback hand, I don't like enjoy that. Yeah, turned to Mariota,

698
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: enjoy those lawn dark It's well, I mean, none of

699
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: us are huge Mariora guys, so I you know, fair,

700
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: but that's what's happening in the news. Hey, Ricky for

701
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: um for this seg where I'm just gonna kind of

702
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: go through some things that I, uh, colonels that I

703
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: came across. I could go with comeback colonels with Mark Sessler,

704
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: but let's actually go with essentially, like I'm gonna leave

705
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: this up to your ability to find like a walk,

706
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: a springtime walk. It's early spring now, so I'm taking

707
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: a walk through, uh the thirty two teams of the NFL.

708
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: While he was putting together the power rankings. Uh so

709
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: here are some tidbits that I came across. Let's begin

710
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: our walk, Ricky. I will start right at number one

711
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: on the list. With the Kansas City Chiefs, Sammy Watkins

712
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: still in the building. Um, and he's scheduled almost fourteen

713
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: million in salary this year. Brett Veach, the GM is

714
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: already on on the record that they're probably gonna have to,

715
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, correct that for him to remain a part

716
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: of the team. And you wonder when that's happening. And

717
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: you would think perhaps Watkins, although typically a player and

718
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: when he's asked to take a haircut industry jargo, uh

719
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: is gonna say, F you cut me, I'll go get

720
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: money elsewhere. But given the market, a veteran wide receivers

721
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: in that second tier, which, let's be honest, despite how

722
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: he's been paid in his career, he's in a second

723
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: tier place. Uh, he might be better off getting the

724
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 1: haircut and and sticking around. Maybe that's why nothing's happened here. Yeah.

725
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: It reminds me a little bit of the Cowboys with

726
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: a Mari Cooper, where both sides want each other. You

727
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: just have to find that middle ground. You have to

728
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: find that money that works. I don't see him making

729
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: fourteen million. Greg might have a better read on that,

730
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: and I think maybe the Chiefs thought that what to

731
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: your point, Dan, the timing of it, keep that they

732
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: didn't need to cut him. They want to keep them,

733
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: and they're kind of making it to a point where

734
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: at some point there's no way he's gonna want to

735
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: be a free agent in August. You you wouldn't think so,

736
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: and that they'll just work it out, which makes sense

737
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: for a guy that it put up almost five yards

738
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: in the last almost six hundred yards in the last

739
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: two playoffs like that that should count for something. I mean,

740
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: that guy, if he never signs another half decent deal,

741
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: did very well in this league. When you correlate his

742
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: overall production, he's kind of like the Jadeveon Clowney of

743
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers, is right, But if, like, if another position

744
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: stepped up as much as he's stepped up in the

745
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: playoffs in two straight years, like we would give that

746
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: guy a lot of credit for being clutch, whatever that means.

747
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: Like he was their best receivers in multiple big games,

748
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: two a f C Championship, he played well the Super Bowl.

749
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: He ripped a huge fart on Richard Sherman in a

750
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: big spot in the Super Bowl? Is that more industry?

751
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: Why is ESPN not talking to you about this Monday

752
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: night football spot? I don't know. I don't know. Let's

753
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: keep let's keep going on the stroll. Uh. Smell that

754
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: fresh air. That's that COVID nineteen air quality here in

755
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I love it. Uh, let's check in with

756
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: the goals who, by the way, what's going on with

757
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: the offense. Everyone agrees they need to do better. I

758
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: had I had written my notes earlier this morning. Robbie Anderson,

759
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: question Mark went to temple. You know, sometimes you try

760
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: to connect dots. Uh, that's not happening obviously. But here

761
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: we are. Carson Wentz still has al Shon, Jeffrey and

762
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: de Sean Jackson as guys that he needs to count on.

763
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's most most likely, given the state of

764
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: the market at this point after today, going to be

765
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: something Howie Roseman addresses in the draft, hopefully addresses in

766
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: the draft. Meanead was, well, no, I was gonna say,

767
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm being told that they've signed B M. Javon Hargraves,

768
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: so they're gonna go fifteen and one. That that's the

769
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: word on the streets. So not number nine feels a

770
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: little high. Hardgrave has gotten on your radar that we like.

771
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just you know, I think, I think

772
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: you know there is a he's out there as a

773
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: talking point. But I don't see the Eagles as the

774
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: ninth best team in the league. I know your numbers

775
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: are not meant to be exact right now, but I

776
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: see a few teams should be should that should be

777
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: on their radar. I think a little bit. It's so

778
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: low on my priority list right now. I can't even

779
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: begin to tell you. I mean, it is the assignment.

780
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: The assignment is ranking these teams, so it's it can't

781
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: be They're fine, They're fine. It is. It's a little surprising.

782
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: Jeffreys still there. Yeah, he's hanging out. He wanted out,

783
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: He's hanging around, all right, Let's keep strolling. Oh look,

784
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm passing Mark's Airbnb. There's a swat team outside and

785
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: everyone has their guns drawn on the sidewalk. I guess

786
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: they want you to come out, buddy, I mean, not

787
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: there at the moment, so that I don't feel guilty

788
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: of anything. Uh, let's check in with the rams. This

789
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: is something we've kind of touched on, but uh kind

790
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: of hits hits home. When I was going through the

791
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: additions and departures, five of their five members of their

792
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: starting eleven defense gone just gone. Half the defense basically

793
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: is out the door, and it's just a minder of

794
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: that windows closed, and now it's on snead and McVeigh

795
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: to find a way to reopen it and retool this

796
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: whole roster and Wade Phillips. Look, they'll they'll tell you

797
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: that they have Aaron Donald, one of the greatest defensive

798
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: players of all time, Jalen Ramsey, and some other players

799
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: and a coach that now in Brandon Staley that is

800
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: kind of one of the big X factors of the

801
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty season. Like if he's bringing something to

802
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: the table, like could they be average defense? Sure? Why not?

803
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: You think the Rams would ever um ever ever again?

804
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: If they could dial back in a time machine, do

805
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: that Jalen Ramsey deal again? I just I mean, I

806
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: like Jale. You think they would give two first round

807
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: picks for Jalen Ramsey again? I do? I simply do not.

808
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: I do because as a long term move, and I

809
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: don't see why their evaluation would have changed between now

810
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: and then. I think they were happy with what he

811
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: gave them. I don't think it was a move to

812
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: save last season. I think it was a move to

813
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: have Jalen Ramsey a ram for a long time. I

814
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: just feel a little top heavy to me, where it's

815
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: like they're too Dan's point, there's a lot of supporting

816
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: cast not around. Uh. Let's dip into the cul de

817
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: sac here of believe land Mark and UH do not

818
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: think I am trolling you Mark in anyway. It's just

819
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 1: something again that caught my eye. I don't buy into

820
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: anything anybody that's trying to do talking head things about

821
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's job security. But case Keenum got more money

822
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: than I realized three years, eighteen million, including ten million guaranteed,

823
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: and in the building Kevin Stefanski, it was the same

824
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: guy was in the building in Minnesota when Keendom had

825
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: his best year for the Vikings. Just jumped out, I'll

826
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: give you this. I think that it is um coming

827
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: off of last year's altered disaster. Baker Mayfield is is

828
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: not someone with a lot of excuses around him right now,

829
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: and I think it starts with Baker Mayfield. How much

830
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: do you want to be Cleveland's franchise quarterback in a

831
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback in the NFL? If not more, that's

832
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: what people thought he'd be a year ago. I think

833
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: he has all the talent to do it. But it

834
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: is a huge year for him. And I think that

835
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: what was going on in that quarterback room a year ago, um,

836
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: the coaching, the coaching on that offensive side of the

837
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: ball was not strong in case Keenum. I would imagine

838
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: another team or two, Uh, we're interested in bringing someone

839
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: like case Keenum into the building. So I don't have

840
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: a big problem with the contract. But no way does

841
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: any front office worth their salt think that case Keenum

842
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: is a better option than Baker Mayfield long term. But

843
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is under as much pressure, uh as any

844
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league because you also wrote, and I

845
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: think you're right, they've shored up some of their issues

846
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: roster wise, and you know he really does have. He

847
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: has no excuses with the pieces around him not to

848
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: have a major comeback season. The guy they draft at tackle,

849
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: if that's indeed what ends up happening at number ten,

850
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: if he can play, they did a good job. In fact,

851
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: they could turn the offensive line into a position of

852
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: strength quickly because they had to take three years to

853
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 1: do that. They got who's the guy on the interwo

854
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: are Year that's a really good player. Uh, they have

855
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: the platonio, they got Conklins now Trader and now if

856
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: you can get a left tackle, you can play there.

857
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: There's no excuses anymore because all the playmaker talent obviously

858
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: on the it could be a great offense at the

859
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: quarterback can play. Um, we'll see. Finally, West, your former

860
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: teams the West side of Cincinnati. Look, everyone waving so

861
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: friendly with their little barbecue grills and uh playing their

862
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: transistor radios five nights a week, listening to Don McLean

863
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: and wondering why West keeps burying them on a very

864
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: popular global podcast. Well this is interesting West, so we

865
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: want to use people, by the way, on the West

866
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: side of Cincinnati are actually Bengals fans. Okay, defensive tackle

867
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: DJ Reader, cornerback Trey Wayne's big money deals with the Bengals.

868
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: We all know they never do big money deals. Uh

869
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: million committed uh to the two veterans. Now, well they

870
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: actually get nine five million, but just stick with me.

871
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: According to ESPN Stats and Information Research, Cincinnati had not

872
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: committed more than twenty six million to a single free

873
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: agent since two thousand fifteen. So yes, the numbers back

874
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: it up. They have not spent uh like this in

875
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: half a decade. Uh so, Joe Burrow, Yes, pay attention,

876
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: they're trying maybe just a little. Yeah, I go west.

877
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: Sorry they had to. Um. This is a team that

878
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: since the creation of NFL free agency in they are

879
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: the team that drives up the price for another team

880
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: to sign a free agent. They don't actually sign the

881
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: free agents, they signed their own. But this is a deviation,

882
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: as you said. All right, I'm back in front of

883
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: my home. A children are staring at me, wanting me

884
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,479
Speaker 1: to play with them for nine straight hours and feed

885
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: them and bade them to breaking to sleep. So I'll

886
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: end my walk here. I do have one, uh someone

887
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: that wants to say something about the Saints being number

888
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: four here? Oh yes, Luke, this is our house. Is

889
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: I am your real father? How do you feel about

890
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: Dan hands this uncle Dan putting the Saints at as

891
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: the fourth best team in the NFL? You like that?

892
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 1: What do you want them to be number one? I'll

893
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: see if they're number one. But that's pretty good actually

894
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: to be here at number four. But you're a huge

895
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: Saints fan and you love Drew Brees. Right, all right, well,

896
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: good luck to you than your dad. Who's better at

897
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: the power rankings, Dan hands Us or Elliott Harrison. All right,

898
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: that's my boy. You did a good job. Thank you

899
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: A plus. Yeah, you're good, thank you. Bye? All right,

900
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: that was nice. I feel like a tradition is coming on.

901
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: I gotta get the boys in here. So yeah, where

902
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: are they? I don't know. That's why we gotta in

903
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: the show. They could be anywhere. Was not expecting any

904
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: Luke Sessler, Elliott Harrison heat, but no, he doesn't know

905
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: what time say. Didn't always see eye to eye. I

906
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: know that, and that's why I talked during the Bengals

907
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: question that you threw a west because Luke was about

908
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: to come charging into the scene and I was trying

909
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: to slow him down there. But there we go. All right,

910
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: Well good effort there. We will be back tomorrow with
