I'm like, alrighty, no, where is it? 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: So anyway, they were really cool. People appreciate the fire 80 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: department in Redondo. Beach Man shouts out to them, men 81 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: and women that service first responders. But we we we 82 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: put the around. 83 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 4: Did you have a solo stove. 84 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: It's like it's one of the ones, you know how 85 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: like recycles the heat. It keeps it in and it 86 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: spins the heat around and then circulates it around and 87 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 2: warms the whole area. I mean that it was warm. 88 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: It's all get out, bro. It was nice. It was warm. 89 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: It was just too big of a fire. And I 90 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: think like that, you know, we'd be having them wildfires 91 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: out here. So I think people were kind of in 92 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: a little bit of a panic. But anyway, all right, 93 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: let's let's get to some one who or or a 94 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: topic where people could be panicking or not panicking. 95 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 4: Uh. 96 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: We we will get TJ in a moment, I believe, 97 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: but we'll we'll see see how that plays out. But 98 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: plex your Pittsburgh Steelers as a team, Mike, Pittsburgh Steelers 99 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: as a fan. 100 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: Uh. 101 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: We didn't get an opportunity to talk about this since 102 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: this has happened, But a trade took place where the 103 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: Dolphins sent John new and and and Ramsey to Pittsburgh 104 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: for Fitzpatrick uh to Miami and and now you bring 105 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: in John new Smith, you bring in uh Ramsey Jaalen Ramsey. 106 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 2: This has been a very active offseason for the Steelers, 107 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: and in fact, it's been an active off season where 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: they've addressed the offense where generally, you know, it's known 109 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: that the Steelers put their money in and make key signings, 110 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 2: generally on the defensive side of the ball. Now they 111 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: brought in Jalen Ramsey. 112 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 113 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: People may be aware of the fact that an aging 114 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: Darius Slay has also joined the team. Uh. They made 115 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: some other quiet additions, uh, the departures being Preston Smith 116 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: on a Joby was released, Larry Larry Yrjoby was released, 117 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: Minka Fitzpatrick, which traded, so now you don't have him, 118 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: but you've added Aaron Rodgers, You've added Darius Slay, You've 119 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: added gang Well, Kenneth Gangwell, You've added Malik Harrison, which 120 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: gives you debt. But the big signings obviously being DK Metcalf. 121 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: Now they have Jalen Ramsey and now they have John 122 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: new Smith that they've added to the team. 123 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: Is this enough? 124 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: They just gave American and a contract extension for three years. 125 00:06:52,240 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: Seemingly that is a congratulatory reward for his efforts. Do 126 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: you think that's what it is? And do you see 127 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: that Steelers team going in the right direction. 128 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: I think the first thing is that Mike Tomlin and 129 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 5: this organization are recognizing that they need to get better. 130 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 5: Because I can't remember the Pittsburgh still is making this 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 5: many moves in free agency. They all wanted a very 132 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 5: few organizations that they don't make big splashes in free agency. 133 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 5: They build up their guys, they scout them, they draft them, 134 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 5: and guys in Pittsburgh for ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen years. 135 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 4: That's the way this organization is built. 136 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 5: But I think they're realizing that, you know, listen, the 137 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 5: AFC North is probably the most competitive division in all 138 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 5: of football. You got Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase. 139 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 5: They know that they need to be able to slow 140 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: these offenses down. 141 00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 4: So what do you do. 142 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 5: You signed Jayalen Ramsey, you signed Darry your slave, and 143 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 5: obviously you go out and get Aaron Rodgers. You add 144 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 5: DJ Metcalf. You have to be able to compete in 145 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 5: this division offensively and defensively. And they know that because 146 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 5: I mean, we can sit right here and agree that 147 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 5: the Stillers are probably, you know, the third best team 148 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 5: in the division. Yeah, nobody's going to put them ahead 149 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 5: of Baltimore or Cincinnati regardless. So they had to find 150 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 5: a way to get better. But I really did not agree. 151 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 5: I don't like to make a fixed patch of train. 152 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 5: I really don't. I think he fits what Pittsburgh wants 153 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 5: to do only. I mean, he's only had one of 154 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 5: exceptions in the last two years. But he's a run 155 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 5: for safety and you knew that when you bought him there, 156 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: So find some pieces around him, try to keep him 157 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 5: in the house, keep him in that secondary. Because the 158 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens are gonna run the football. You're going to 159 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 5: have to have some guys on that second level to 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 5: be able to defense the run if you're playing in 161 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 5: the AFC North. 162 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: So I didn't like the trade. 163 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 5: I think Mica Fitzpatrick's fits what the Pittsburgh Steelers want 164 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 5: to do defensively, and they're going to miss him. I mean, 165 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: obviously you got Jaalen Ramsey and Darius Slay. You got 166 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 5: two pretty good corners. Derri Slay, you're getting a little older, 167 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 5: but in the back end, man, you're gonna need you. 168 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 5: Pittsburgh has always had a safety that canfield a run, 169 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 5: and you know, we don't know who that person is 170 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 5: going to be now, but I think they recognize that 171 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 5: we have to get better. 172 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 4: If not, then we're not going to be able to 173 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 4: compete in this division. 174 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: It's interesting. Darius Slay is thirty four years old. He's 175 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: been in for a little little bit, and they it's 176 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: projecting that he may start maybe the starter, and that 177 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: they're going to figure out where Jalen Ramsey, where he 178 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: he makes his entry. It could be at safety conversion 179 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: from corner to safety. He's at thirty years old, so 180 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: he's not out of his prime yet. You'd say he's 181 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: probably maybe hitting you know, in the middle of his prime, 182 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 2: maybe towards the end of it, if we're looking at 183 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 2: that position, and also the ability for them to switch 184 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: positions and possibly play that safety's position. I think that's 185 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: an interesting point you make. Pittsburgh has always had a safety. 186 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: In fact, they may have had two safeties that would 187 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: come up and hit you. You know, from the times 188 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: that they had you know, Darren Perry back there, to 189 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: when you know Cornell Lake was back there, to you know, 190 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: having Ryan Clark and having Troy Polamalu back there. I mean, 191 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: pick your poison. Both of them will hit you in 192 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: the mouth in the run game or anywhere else on 193 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: the field. So they have had a physical defensive backfield. 194 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 4: You know. 195 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: My biggest concern that I've been raising during the course 196 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: of the week plex has really been based around the 197 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: the personality of what the Pittsburgh Steelers have represented through 198 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: the years has always been somewhat of a conservative, maybe 199 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: quiet type of movement, may maybe considered to be less 200 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 2: chaotic in the off season, very very subtle deals that 201 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: may have made, you know, made things happen for their team, 202 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: but never two off seasons back to back where you 203 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: sit there and you may find yourself scratching your head 204 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 2: just a little bit, if not more. Last year, you 205 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: bring in Justin Fields and you bring in Russell Wilson. 206 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: You didn't pay either one of them. You got a 207 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: year with them before you were going to decide what 208 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 2: you were going to do, and they're gone. That just 209 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 2: doesn't seem very steeler like. How quickly they're moving in 210 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: and out of players, and then you trade in one 211 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: for you trade in two really for one that comes 212 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: in that's potentially only going to give you one year 213 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: in Rogers? How much I mean to me? How much? 214 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: How much weight does Aaron Rodgers carry on his shoulders 215 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,119 Speaker 2: to have a good season for for this team before retiring? 216 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: How much pressure does a newly signed Amir Khan or 217 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: excuse me, uh, what's what's CON's first name? Am I 218 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 2: Blanke's first name? Omar? Yes, thank you sir? 219 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 6: Uh? 220 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 2: How much pressure is on him? Now you get a 221 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: new contract. But if this doesn't work, how does how 222 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: is this perceived? 223 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 4: How does this? 224 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: How does this play out for Mike Tomlin? I continue 225 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: to have the conversation about how much pressure this brings 226 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 2: to Mike Tomlin? How do you see this? If it 227 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 2: doesn't happen to work out with all of these seemingly 228 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: one year contract Guys. 229 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest with you, man, I think that 230 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 5: the writings on the wall. You know, I really do 231 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 5: for Mike Tomlin. I played for him for two years. Man, 232 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: He's a he's a hell of a coach. He's a 233 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 5: great man. But right now, the moves that have been 234 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 5: made over the last you know, two years for this organization, 235 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 5: like you said, it's not still alike. And I, uh, 236 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 5: when I came in as a rookie in two thousand, 237 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 5: it was it was Omar's first year there, so we 238 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 5: all came in together. I know that Mike Tomlin is 239 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 5: uh invested in and the and every all these trades 240 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 5: and everything that's being made. He's in the room, he's 241 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 5: agreeing with it and for this organization. But I'm just 242 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 5: looking at right now. I mean, you look at Aaron Rodgers. 243 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 5: It's for one year. So you can't you can't build 244 00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: an organization, you know, moving forward if you just signed 245 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 5: in quarterbacks for one year. 246 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 4: I mean that this is what it is right now. 247 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 5: The Pittsburgh still is a just saving face with Ann Rogers, 248 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 5: We're gonna try to get through this year not be 249 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 5: a terrible football team, and we're just going to put 250 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 5: a product out there on Sundays that can win a game. 251 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 4: I mean, you can't look at. 252 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 5: This football team right now say, you know what, they're 253 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 5: competing in the division and they're going to get to 254 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 5: the playoffs. 255 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 4: They're not. 256 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 5: So they're not going to put a They're putting the 257 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 5: team out there basically right now that that could go 258 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: out and produce some wins. But nobody really expects this 259 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 5: team to get into the playoffs, especially with the division 260 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 5: that they're playing in. 261 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: Mm hmmm uh. Those are some some strong words from 262 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: Plexico Burst there, who would probably know just as well 263 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: as anyone knowing that you you know, the inner workings 264 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: of the franchise from being there. It's an interesting conversation. 265 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: And there's also the other sides of these trades that 266 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: take place. The Miami Dolphins, they were the recipient of 267 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: the trade partner of the Pittsburgh Steelers plex and they 268 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: received Minka Fitzpatrick, as you mentioned, on the other side 269 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: of that break on that trade. But they actually made 270 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: an acquisition that I want to discuss a little bit 271 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: further along with the Minka Fitzpatrick acquisition as well with 272 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins.

All right, pletch, We were talking about 355 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 2: the Steelers and how it may impact the Steelers. I 356 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 2: don't know that the prognosis is positive for the Steelers. 357 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 2: It's just hard. It's a it's a tap bit confusing 358 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: because it's outside of the realm of what the Steelers 359 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: generally do. It seems to be a little bit more 360 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: chance taking, risk taking for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But on 361 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: the other side of it, we look at the recipients 362 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 2: of what took place in this trade, and you have 363 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins who have well they get Meka Fitzpatrick 364 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 2: where that is where Menca actually started his career. So 365 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: he's heading back to where it all started. How do 366 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 2: you see, you know what took place with them and 367 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: where they're at right now. I mean they you know, 368 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 2: they they lost some some key guys, you know, they 369 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: they lost uh what uh Tyron Tehran, I'm blanking on 370 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: Why do always blank on names? But anyways, they added 371 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: they added Javon Holland, they they added a guard and 372 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: Robert Jones. 373 00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 374 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: They brought in the tight end, but the bigger name 375 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 2: at tight end we'll get to in a second end 376 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: and obviously Waller. They added to Shaun han who was 377 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 2: you know, defense tackle, pretty good ball player. They got 378 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 2: some guys, they added Raheem mostert to to the to 379 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: the scenario. They've kept the Cheetah, they got Jalen Waddle. 380 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: They have players, you know, they have some players. But 381 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 2: there's been a lot of speculation that this team may 382 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: not be maybe their window to being a Super Bowl 383 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: contender has closed. I mean, I don't know that it 384 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: was ever open. 385 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 4: But in a. 386 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 2: Surprising move, right, in a surprising move from from losing 387 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: John new Smith, they signed Darren Waller from from being 388 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: you know, retired, he retired. Here Here's what Here's what 389 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: Waller had to say, maybe no more than two weeks 390 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: or so, two or three weeks ago ago in an 391 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: interview when he was talking about when he knew it 392 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: was the end of his career. This is who they 393 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 2: brought in to replace what they lost in their trade 394 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: with Johnny Smith. Take a listen. 395 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 4: I almost just lost my life. 396 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 7: And I don't know if I really feel like if 397 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 7: I would have died that I would have felt great 398 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 7: about how my life was going if I died at 399 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 7: the time. I'm doing something that I found a lot 400 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 7: of joy in and have had amazing moments with, but 401 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 7: the passion has slowly been fading. I've made the decision 402 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 7: that I'll be retiring from the NFL. You know, there's 403 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 7: eternally grateful for the game of football. I wouldn't be 404 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 7: able to have this conversation, or to think things through 405 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 7: or be self reflective if it wasn't for an opportunity 406 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 7: to save my life and go to rehabs the NFL 407 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 7: offered me. They also gave me an opportunity to you know, 408 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 7: re establish myself, to you know, come back into the 409 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 7: world and do something productive. 410 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 2: That's a different quote than what I put in, but 411 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: that's okay, It's still relevant to the conversation. I Mean, 412 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 2: he basically right there, he's letting everyone know that, you know, 413 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 2: he needed to take some time for himself, and maybe 414 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: that's just the biggest key to all of this was 415 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 2: him taking some time off to get himself back together. 416 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 2: I mean, there was a more focused approach to him 417 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 2: saying he didn't want to play anymore. He was in 418 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 2: a game. They were using him as a full back, 419 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 2: he was a lead blocker. He's like, Wow, the hell 420 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: am I playing the game? I'm done? And now a 421 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: year later, after taking a season off, he's back. Do 422 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 2: you see this as a good move by the Dolphins? 423 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: Is it much to do about nothing. It's a guy 424 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: you bring in you see if he can do it. 425 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: If he can do it, you keep him. If he doesn't, 426 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: then you let him go. What's your take on it? 427 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 2: You know what? 428 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 5: Man, I had the opportunity to, you know, meet Darren 429 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 5: waller Man when he came here to the New York 430 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 5: Giants and to sit down and speak with him and 431 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 5: have a conversation. And uh, he's a very you know, intelligent, 432 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 5: passion passionate young man. 433 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 7: Man. 434 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 5: He's been through a lot in his personal life. If 435 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 5: you don't know her story, look it up. You know 436 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 5: all the things that he's overcame and giving back to 437 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 5: the community and you know, you know, helping people who 438 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 5: are homeless and all of those things. 439 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 4: Uh, he's a great young man. So I think I 440 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 4: think he was going through a lot personally. 441 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 5: Outside of football that he needed to take a step 442 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 5: back from, you know, from from from where he was 443 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 5: when he was in New York. 444 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 4: And you know, going back to his quote and and 445 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: to what he said, he's he came. 446 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 5: He came from Las Vegas, he came from the Raiders, 447 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 5: he came to the he came, he came to the Giants, 448 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 5: and he had him back there playing fullback. 449 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 4: I mean, you're a tight end. You're not You're not built. 450 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 5: You know, psychologically or mentally as a tight end to 451 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 5: be running up in the two and four hole taking 452 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 5: on middle linebackers and and and and and uh, you know, Aligneman, 453 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 5: that's not how we are built as players. So I 454 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 5: think it had more to do with, you know, a 455 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 5: lot of things that he had going on outside outside 456 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 5: of football. And I don't I don't. I don't really 457 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 5: think he wanted to be here in New York playing 458 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 5: playing for Brown day Ball. I mean, I really honestly 459 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 5: believed that it wasn't a good situation. Uh, James Dames 460 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 5: Jones is that quarterback. Uh, they weren't using him as 461 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 5: a tight end and what they bought him here for. 462 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 5: So he told to step back. And now that you know, 463 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 5: he was traded, traded to traded to the Dolphins. But 464 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 5: I really believe that, you know, he's a good young player. 465 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 5: He may not be the great tight end that he 466 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 5: was in two thoy nineteen and twenty when he was 467 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 5: playing with the Raiders, because when this young man was healthy, 468 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 5: he was one of the best tight ends in all 469 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 5: the football, so hopefully he can get back to some 470 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 5: of that kind of form. Obviously, the Miami Dolphins are 471 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 5: going to throw the football. He's going to get a 472 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 5: lot of single coverage over the middle of the football field. 473 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 5: So I really expect for him to go out and 474 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 5: you know, play well. I mean, he's a great talent. 475 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 5: When he's healthy, he can run and play with the 476 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 5: best of them. But he just has to stay healthy 477 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 5: because he's had a lot of lower extremity injuries, you know, 478 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 5: hamstrings and growings and different things like that. But when 479 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 5: he's healthy, I know he can really go out and 480 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 5: you know, dominate that part of the football field, especially 481 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 5: when you put him out there with jaylen'wallall Tyree Hill 482 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 5: and you know, all of these fast young men. He 483 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 5: can really just go out and play ball. 484 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 7: Mmmm. 485 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: They got Nick Westbrook, I king they got that. They 486 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 2: got they got some guys now. But there has been 487 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 2: a lot of speculation that again, maybe the window of 488 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: opportunity is closing for for this team. I mean, you 489 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: look at their quarterbacks. It's it's kind of interesting. You 490 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 2: got Zach Wilson slated as the backup. You got Quinn Yours, 491 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 2: who I think that's an interesting name to pay attention to. 492 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: It doesn't seem as though they are lacking talent with 493 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: what it is that that they're doing. You know what 494 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 2: what they have going on, and and you know, listen 495 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: you look at their defense. They they have Chop Robinson 496 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: coming back. They have some guys that that can play. 497 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 2: You know, you throw Minka Fitzpatrick into the mix. You know, 498 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: you got Marshall, you know you got you got Benito, 499 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: Benito Jones, who's a big interior lineman. You know, they 500 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,959 Speaker 2: could have a very formidable defensive front. I mean, they 501 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 2: lose kalay As Campbell. I doubt he's coming back. I'm 502 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: pretty certain he's done. You have some interesting names, not 503 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 2: big big names. I mean, Bradley Chubb is a name. 504 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: Yeah they may recognize and know, But I mean, do 505 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: you think that this is a team where they're at currently, 506 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: is one that can compete and contend and try to 507 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 2: knock off the Buffalo Bills to win the AFC South, a. 508 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 4: FC East East East. 509 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the AFC East, But I mean, I think 510 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 5: this is really one of the one of the divisions 511 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 5: in football that's wide open. I can't sit here and 512 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: say that the Buffalo Bills are just going to go 513 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 5: out and completely dominate this division. I mean, obviously, Josh 514 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 5: Allen was giving the MVP award last year, nobody really 515 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 5: agrees that he was the MVP of the league. But 516 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 5: I really believe that the Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills 517 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 5: are neck and next for winning this division. I mean, 518 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 5: it's just one of the one or two games that 519 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 5: you just have to be able to win. When you 520 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 5: go against each other and win the football games that 521 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 5: you're supposed to win. That's always serious. I don't see that. 522 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 5: I just don't see it. But it's always been that 523 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 5: way for the Miami Dolphins. They're like one or two 524 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 5: games out of not making the playoffs. They go on 525 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 5: these stretches where they win three to four in a 526 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 5: row and then they lose a game of two games 527 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 5: that they're not supposed to lose. And that's just been 528 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 5: the history of what they've been doing for the last 529 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 5: twenty five years since I've been in the league. They've 530 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 5: always had a lot of talent. I mean, you're playing 531 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 5: in Florida, you should be one of the best in 532 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 5: shape football teams in all of football. But you can't 533 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 5: find a way to get into the playoffs and to 534 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 5: make a deep run. So when you talk about the 535 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 5: window closing, I don't think that never was a window, 536 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 5: to be honest with you. I mean it was a window, 537 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 5: but it had blind curtains. 538 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 4: Every day. Get the window open the window they couldn't. 539 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 4: But hey, man, they have a lot of good, good 540 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 4: young talent. 541 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 5: But I just really believe, man, and we always talk 542 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 5: about this, it comes down to quarterback play in this business. 543 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 4: Man. 544 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 5: If you don't have a quarterback that can go out 545 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 5: and manage the football game, not turn the football over 546 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 5: and make good decisions, you can't win in this league. 547 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 5: And time again, I don't believe that's tool. I just 548 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 5: I really don't. 549 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 4: Wow. 550 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: Well, there you go, another high take, and I'll tell 551 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: you who else gives us hot takes.

Maybe 667 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 9: it's return to the JPP. 668 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 2: There we get thus the song coming back in from 669 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 2: the break, plex, How do you feel about JPP making 670 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 2: a turn at this point in his career, Man. 671 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 5: It doesn't even seem like to me that JPP is 672 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 5: an old man. It just seems like yesterday that he 673 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 5: came in and you know he was lighting the league 674 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 5: up man, getting around the edge and second quarterbacks and 675 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 5: doing all those great things when he was playing. But man, 676 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 5: Tom waits for no man, And I really do believe 677 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 5: that if he wants to go out and play, if 678 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 5: he's inspired and motivated, I mean, he can go out 679 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 5: and have a football team. I mean he's a street 680 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 5: his athleticism is through the roof, maybe a little older. 681 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 5: But if he wants to come back and play, Man, 682 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 5: if I'm a football team back and you know, bring 683 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 5: them in and you know, uh, you know, paying Morris, 684 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 5: he wants to be paid. Man, I really think that 685 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 5: he can go out and contribute to a defensive line, 686 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 5: you know, in this league. I mean he knows how 687 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 5: to play. Super Bowl Champion. Obviously he didn't play last year, 688 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 5: but I mean he can still go out on the 689 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 5: football field in Sundays and have an impact. 690 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's actually thirty six years old, so by the 691 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 2: stretch of what a pass rusher would be, he's really 692 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 2: not crazy old. You could probably get about two three 693 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 2: more years of really really productive football, depending on the 694 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 2: shape that you're in. But it'd be interesting to see. 695 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 2: He's an interesting story. He's had his ups and his downs, 696 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: but he is a two time Super Bowl champ, one 697 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 2: time first first team All Pro, which is pretty big. 698 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 2: He's had a pretty decent career by all stretches of 699 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 2: the imagination. Been made Pro Bowls three times, and yeah, 700 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 2: he's had a pretty pretty nice career. It would be 701 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: interesting to see what happens there. We'll keep an eye 702 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 2: on that. But before we wrap up this segment and 703 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 2: get to hour two where we start talking round ball 704 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: instead of basketball, I mean instead of football, we will 705 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 2: be talking basketball Kenny Pickett. It came out that, you know, 706 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 2: the coaching staff is looking at Kenny Pickett as the 707 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 2: guy that maybe is in the lead to start and 708 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 2: and kind of gave way to the conversation of Flacco 709 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 2: looking as though he is set up to be the 710 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 2: backup to Kenny Pickett based upon Kenny Pickett's ability to 711 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 2: run the ballplex the mobility that gives them some options 712 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 2: to do more than what they would do with Flacco. 713 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 2: But now it continues to raise the questions one is 714 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett the answer for this? Cleveland Browns team two. 715 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 2: What does that mean for Gabriel and Sanders in terms 716 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 2: of what they're going to do? They already have one 717 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: and Deshaun Watson that even though he's not on the 718 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 2: active roster, he you know, he's still a quarterback that's 719 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 2: on the team. So they in effect have five quarterbacks, 720 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 2: but for that are are active. Do you think there? Again, 721 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 2: do you think that the conversation will continue to be 722 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 2: they're going to carry four quarterbacks? How do you see 723 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 2: this playing out? It's a long jam. 724 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't see how you can carry four quarterbacks. 725 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,959 Speaker 5: I've never seen or witness it before on an NFL team, 726 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 5: But you know what, it just seems like to me 727 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 5: over the last twenty five thirty years that the Cleveland 728 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 5: Browns has just had a problem finding a franchise quarterback. 729 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 5: And I don't believe anything that comes out of there 730 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 5: Cleveland from a quarterback and standpoint unless I see it 731 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 5: on the football field. Because Kenny Pickett, this is his 732 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 5: third team in the last you know, four or five years, 733 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 5: So you're saying that now Kenny Pickett is going to 734 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 5: be the guy. He's going to be the guy, He's 735 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 5: going to be the start of mobile and all of 736 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 5: those things. But until he really gets out of the 737 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 5: football field and is able to navigate an offense and 738 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 5: move them up and down a football field, I just 739 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 5: don't believe anything that the Cleveland Browns have to say 740 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 5: from a quarterback standpoint. I will say that just over history, 741 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 5: that Joe Flacco is probably going to be the best 742 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 5: quarterback that you have in the building right now. Black, 743 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 5: I don't know what Dylan Graber is. We don't know 744 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 5: what Shador Sanders is right now as a quarterback. So 745 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 5: everybody's just going to have to sit and wait to 746 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 5: see who's going to be the next starting quarterback for 747 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 5: the Cleveland Browns because I don't know who is going 748 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 5: to be out of the four. 749 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 4: I mean, I really don't. 750 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 2: I just don't know how you get to transitioning from 751 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 2: a starting quarterback all the way to the third string 752 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 2: or fourth string quarterback of a team. That to me 753 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 2: is the biggest conundrum or brain brain teaser. How are 754 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 2: you going to get the one that those guys. It'll 755 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 2: be interesting to see how that plays out. We'll continue 756 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 2: to give updates on that as well. We are rounding 757 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 2: out our one hitting and the Hour two cuffs the 758 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 2: Legends in a short fuge seconds. This is up on 759 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 2: game Fox Sports Radio. Will be right back
