00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: This is the Action Network Podcast.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 2: It's good all.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 3: Right. Here we go from there, throwing out job spec

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 3: I'm sitting.

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Up to cash.

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 3: We'll see most gamble is when they go to gamble,

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: they go to win.

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 4: That's incredible.

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: Big bank, small banks. I like to make money.

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: All right.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 4: This is the ultimate combine.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: You want to pull.

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 4: And we are underway.

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 5: Welcome into the Action Network Podcast. Today we discuss twenty

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 5: twenty two NFL Free Agency. We will first dive into

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 5: the AFC. Chris Raybon is here NFL analyst. I am

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 5: Brendan Glasheen. We will go division by division, team by

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 5: team in the AFC today, Chris and folks at home.

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 5: If you have a specific team, you have an allegiance

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 5: to a team you want to learn more about. There

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 5: are listings and stamps for each division, each team. We

22
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 5: will touch on all of it in this episode. We

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 5: will be utilizing our voiceover Queen Tina and she will

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 5: help us announce each team as we transition from one

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 5: to the next.

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's do this.

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 5: Free agency starts on March sixteenth at four pm. As

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 5: of March fourteenth, teams are allowed to contact and enter

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 5: negotiations with unrestricted free agents whose contracts expire at four

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: pm March sixteenth. Then the new league gear begins March

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 5: sixteenth at four o'clock, so we are just under a

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 5: week away from that. Approaching the draft is April twenty eighth,

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 5: and then we get to rookie mini camps in May

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: and June, mandatory mini camps OTAs, and then training camps

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 5: in July. There's the map for you in terms of

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 5: new league year. But again, Chris, next week NFL free agency,

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 5: we will start in the AFC. I can't think of

38
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: a better place to start than.

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: The AFC West.

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 5: Because of the Denver Broncos acquisition of Russell Wilson. We

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 5: can start with the Broncos if you'd like, because they

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 5: are the talk of town right now. They are the

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 5: talk of the NFL.

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,279
Speaker 1: Town, Denver Broncos.

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: What do you look at as it pertains to the

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 5: Denver Broncos. What else can they do to better their

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 5: roster and be a contender in this division because as

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 5: we probably it's going to division for the entire season.

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 3: Well, you know, going into last year, even you looked

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: at their roster with Teddy Bridgewater and you said, you know,

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: they're probably a quarterback away. I mean that roster was

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: just strong up and down, and they gave up a

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: boatload of picks for Russell Wilson, a couple of players,

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: you know, Shelby Harris, no off. But this is still,

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: I think now one of the strongest rosters in the NFL.

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Russell Wilson changes it that much. So I'm

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: looking at edge rusher for Denver. You know, they still

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: have a decent amount of cap space. They're in the

59
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: middle of the pack, so you know Von Miller that's

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: been kind of a rumor that he may go back there.

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: You know, Chubb has been hurt a lot.

62
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: So I think what this team should do is not

63
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: break the bank for anyone, but I think some short

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: term deals for some of these edge rushers to hire

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: maybe a Melvin Ingram, a Jerry Hughes justin Houston, all

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: of those guys can probably be had for under ten

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: million year, and especially with this team, I think they

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: would be willing to sign, you know, a one year deal.

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: So that's where I'm looking for them. And I also

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: really like the Denver futures right now because again I think,

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, this roster could still even get a little

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: bit better. It's already a Super Bowl contender on paper.

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: But they're plus six fifty to win the AFC plus

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: two hundred to win the West, which I think is

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: great because it's going to be a gauntlet with Mahomes

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: and Herbert and Casey and La and the Raiders always

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: kind of hang around. So I think it's anyone's division.

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: So I'm loving the Broncos futures, but looking for them

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: to get in Ed Rusher to kind of fortify that

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: that defense.

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: Now you almost think with that model you just presented,

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: it's very similar to what the Rams did. Of course,

83
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: you go out get the quarterback, pay what you got

84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: to pay to get the quarterback, multiple first round picks.

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 5: You let the Lions swallow Jared Goff's contract to get Stafford.

86
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: But then, as we saw throughout the course of the season,

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: they go out and make moves. They get a von Miller,

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 5: they get an Odell Beckham Junior. So the other suggestion

89
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: might be the wait on Denver, because what if they

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 5: have some lopsided loss early in the season and folks

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: freak out and think, oh, maybe this won't work, Maybe

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: they don't have enough. As we saw at the Rams,

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: when they hit a little bit of a rut, they

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: went out and made moves during the season. But yes,

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 5: there is value to be had as of right now

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: before the league year begins. So next question is we

97
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: move on to our next team, the Kansas City Chiefs,

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 5: the favorite to win the AFC West at plus one twenty,

99
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: the second favorite at plus seven hundred behind the Buffalo Bills,

100
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: the second favorite the AFC. What do the Chiefs do

101
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 5: now or what can they do? In response to what

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 5: Denver is.

103
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Up to Kansas City Chiefs, they.

104
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: Kind of gotta do the same thing.

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: I think they got to go after Ed Rushers because

106
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: you look at Frank Clark. They could actually save a

107
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 3: boatload of money if they let him go, and he

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: just hasn't been good these last couple of years. He

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: has not played up to his reputation, so I could

110
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: see that happening. We don't know if they're gonna be

111
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: able to bring Ingram back, but I do think if

112
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: they don't bring Ingram back, we've got to bring somebody

113
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: like that back. You know, Jones is still good on

114
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: the inside, but I think you need an Ingram. A

115
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: use a Houston, and Houston could be a possibility given

116
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: the familiarity there. But you saw how much better that

117
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: Chiefs defense got last year once they acquired Melvin Ingram,

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: and I think they need to kind of.

119
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: Keep that going.

120
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: They're gonna need that pass rush again. It's gonna kind

121
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: of be the same story in this division. It's gonna

122
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: be you know, cornerbacks. It's gonna be pass rushed because

123
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to face you know, two quarterbacks or

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: if you're the Raiders, you're gonna have to face three

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: E week quarterbacks, you know, twice a year each. So

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: I think edge rusher for the Chiefs. They don't have

127
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: much cap space, but again that's why I think Frank

128
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: Clark probably you know, is a cap casualty at some point,

129
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: and that's how they kind of do things because they

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 3: were able to rebuild the O line. So I think

131
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: they're good there, but I do think they they really

132
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: need to be able to rush the path in.

133
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 5: They also earlier in the week franchise tags to Orlando Brown.

134
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 5: They like you said, offensive line they've shirt up the

135
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 5: last couple of years. But what I would my counterpoint

136
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 5: to you would be cap space can be maneuvered in

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 5: ways and they're gonna have to do that right going

138
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 5: forward with now talking more big picture with them with

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 5: with Mahomes, if indeed they lock up other big deals

140
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: with their offensive pieces, do you sense that it all?

141
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 5: Does Kansas City have any players that they might want

142
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: to move off of or cut before the year begins

143
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: to create some flexibility during the season.

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I just go back to Clark. I mean,

145
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: you're staying. I think it's twelve point seven million. You know,

146
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: that's the guy for me. I mean, I don't know

147
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: if you have somebody else in mind, but for me,

148
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: that's the guy that kind of sticks out like a

149
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: sort thump.

150
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: Now that makes a lot of sense. And again I

151
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: don't know if we can consider them big spenders, but

152
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 5: to your point, you can get guys on those one

153
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: year contracts very much like Denver, So it's compelling. I

154
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: think it's appropriate to mention those two teams first as

155
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: it pertains to.

156
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: How they will be.

157
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: It's going to be a tuggle war throughout the course

158
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 5: of the offseason as to how each team tries to

159
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: become better than the other.

160
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers.

161
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 5: Then you have the Los Angeles Chargers who have expectations

162
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: with their new quarterback, their newer quarterback in that I

163
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: mean justin Herbert Younger quarterback nine and eight season. Last year,

164
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: they play a compelling Week eighteen game against the Raiders.

165
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: We all know how that went down, so you kind

166
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: of weave into the discussion here. They've got Brandon Staley

167
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: back at coach, so I think did a pretty good

168
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: job running the offense, but some question calls down the stretch.

169
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 5: There's pressure on him coming into the season. But personnel wise,

170
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: what can the Chargers do to better their roster a lot?

171
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Right now?

172
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: They are at the top of the league in terms

173
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: of cap space.

174
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: So I mentioned the Broncos and how I kind of

175
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: like their futures. I love the Chargers futures. I mean

176
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: they're plus four hundred to win the division right now

177
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: because you know, the Broncos obviously jumped and the Chiefs

178
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: are still the favorite.

179
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: I think that's great value.

180
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: I think these teams are still when it's all said

181
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: and done, going to be very close, because yes, the

182
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: Broncos and the Chiefs have the better rosters on paper

183
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: right now, but the Chargers have the quarterback, and the

184
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: Chargers have the cap space, and I think they have

185
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: a pretty good coach. I know he's been criticized at times,

186
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: but I like, you know, he's thinking outside the box,

187
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 3: which I think is good. But I look at the

188
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: cornerback position for the Chargers. You know, you know, Samuel

189
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: wasn't that good. He could make a jump, but you know,

190
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: Davis ranked near the bottom of the league in PFF grades.

191
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: Chris Harris as well, passed as prime as a free agent,

192
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: so he probably won't be back.

193
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: They were nineteenth and pass the defense Dvoa.

194
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: Everyone talked about their run dye, but a lot of

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: these teams they're conceding the run nowadays. And I think

196
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: the bigger issue is that if you're going to be

197
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: bottom three against the run, you can't also be below

198
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: average against the pass. And you can't be below average

199
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 3: against the pass in this division. So I'm looking at

200
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: them with this cap space, go after J. C. Jackson

201
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: like you were, you know, outside the top twenty interceptions

202
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: last year. This guy has seventeen in his last thirty

203
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: three games over the past two years. Darius Williams is

204
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: another guy played with Staley in Los Angeles, so I

205
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: think they'll go after him. Bryce Callahan a guy who

206
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: can play in the slot, can play some man zone

207
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: inside outside.

208
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: He's familiar with that Fangio Staley scheme.

209
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: So I'm looking for them to really make a splash

210
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: at cornerback here with all this cap space, because I

211
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: just think it's going to be unacceptable for them given

212
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: their scheme trying to limit big plays.

213
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: Can see the run.

214
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: It's going to be unacceptable for them to finish with

215
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: the Bolow average pass defense again in twenty twenty two.

216
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: If they want to make a postseason.

217
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: Run, makes makes a lot of sense. And I think

218
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 5: you know they they map out to me. They feel

219
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 5: very similar. And it's easy to say this now because

220
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: of what happened last year, but they almost feel like

221
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 5: last year as Arizona Cardinals, a team that has odds

222
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 5: that are high in their division, a loaded division, they

223
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: didn't make many moves. Now they go out and get

224
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: JJ Watt, AJ Green, some lower key veteran moves, but

225
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: no one was talking about them to be a potential

226
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: threat to win their division. Justin Herbert year three, Kyler

227
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 5: Murray last year year three, it's just very similar, and

228
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: I think Herbert's got more of an upset in terms

229
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: of the passing game than Kyler does. But it feels

230
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: like a team that will not be let off the hook.

231
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 5: Even though they play in the same division as Russell

232
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 5: Wilson and Patrick Mahomes. The Chargers do have serious expectations,

233
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 5: so keep an eye on that as well as it

234
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: pertains to their office and Brandon Staley as the coach.

235
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: And you know, it's interesting about the Targers. I mean

236
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: not that they're going to get a quarterback because they

237
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: have one, but they.

238
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: Could be this year's Rams.

239
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Brandon Staley and you have cap space

240
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: and LA like cap space in southern California go very

241
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: well together, especially when you have a quarterback. So I

242
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a very attractive destination in free agency.

243
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Fifteam Las Vegas Raiders.

244
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 5: So now we move on to a team in the

245
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: Las Vegas Raiders, the fourth team in the AFC West.

246
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 5: And look, a lot of folks are going to think

247
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 5: this team does finish four out of four, and they've

248
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 5: got a pretty good team, middle of the pack in

249
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 5: terms of cap space, They've got a middle of the

250
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 5: pack quarterback, they've got a new head coach. What is

251
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 5: the outlook of the Las Vegas Raiders very different in

252
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 5: terms of their coach with Josh McDaniels and you're one, I.

253
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: Think he's gonna want to get another wide receiver. You know,

254
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: they have ren for they have Waller, but I think

255
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: they need another guy the outside of A Jones is

256
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: going to do it.

257
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 2: Brian Edwards obviously not.

258
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: But also they're they're going over a major scheme change,

259
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: going from Gus Bradley and that you know, single high

260
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: safety to Patrick Graham, who's gonna do a little bit

261
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: of some different things. And so I think cornerback is

262
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: also going to be a need for them because again,

263
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: you have to play these three now a week passing

264
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: offenses that all have talent on the outside. And you

265
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: got really good play out of Casey Hayward last year,

266
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: but that was kind of scheme specific to Gus Bradley.

267
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: So I think now with Patrick Graham, you have to

268
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 3: go get a guy that can, you know, kind of

269
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: play and get them what Hayward did, you know in

270
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: terms of production, but as a scheme fit. So I'm

271
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: thinking maybe a guy like Stefan Gilmour, you know, one

272
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: of the top corners on the market, getting older but

273
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: rebounded really well. From a down twenty twenty and played

274
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: well last year when he was in the lineup and

275
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: has that familiarity with Patrick Graham from their days in

276
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: New wingmin So. I think Vegas, I think cornerback is

277
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 3: going to be their most pressing need and I think

278
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: Gilmore would be a great target.

279
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: Yeah. As much as we talk about offenses in the

280
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 5: in that division and the upside of those offenses, it's

281
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 5: important to shure up the defensive backfield and the corner

282
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: The corner depth in terms of unrestricted free agents is

283
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 5: not I don't think it's its best, but a guy

284
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 5: like Gilmore can cash in like he did when he

285
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: cashed in with New England a handful of years ago.

286
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: Joe Hayden is on that list. You already mentioned j C. Jackson.

287
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: He wants top of the market money. He will not

288
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 5: settle for anything else not tagged by the Patriots.

289
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: That's a good call.

290
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 5: Moving from the AFC West, who will go back east

291
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 5: to the AFC East to get we let off with

292
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 5: AFC West. With all the news coming out this week

293
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 5: on Russell Wilson, even Mike Williams signing a new contract

294
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 5: with the Chargers, let's go to the East, and we

295
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 5: will start with the reigning AFC East champions once again,

296
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: the Buffalo Bills.

297
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, The Bills.

298
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 5: Not a ton of cap space for them. There about

299
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 5: Cole Beasley maybe moving on from him, What can the

300
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: Bills do to take that next step and be in

301
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 5: the AFC Title game again and finally get to the

302
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 5: Super Bowl.

303
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: People have got a lot of pieces in place. They

304
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: don't have too much cap space. They're kind of in

305
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: that bottom quarter of the league, bottom third of the

306
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: league in terms.

307
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: Of cap space.

308
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: But I think for them, it's just kind of focusing

309
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: on on some of the littler things that could kind

310
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: of prevent them from going all the way. At the

311
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: defensive line, you know, Jerry Hughes, he's a guy that

312
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: might not be back. You know, that's that's some pass

313
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: rushing that they're going to lose right there. You know,

314
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: Shack lost in there's some mutual interest. Maybe he goes there.

315
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: I think defensive tackle, you know, they were pretty weak

316
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: up the middle.

317
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: You could run on them.

318
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: At times, even though they started the year very well

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: against the run. So maybe a guy with Kalais Campbell

320
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: comes in signs a one year deal you can get

321
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: him for I think under ten million, and then if

322
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: Beasley's moved especially, but even if he's not, I really

323
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: like to fit for Christian Kirk.

324
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: We'll see if they can and you know, pay him.

325
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: I think he's going to command a pretty good salary,

326
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: maybe twelve mill or so. But I really like Kirk

327
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: as a replacement for either Sanders or Beasley because Kirk

328
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: is a slot guy, can play inside outside, played really

329
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: well against man coverage last year, and can get vertical

330
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: from the slot, so he can still give you some

331
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: of that underneath stuff, but can also get vertical from

332
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: the slot, and I think that really fits Josh Allen

333
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: and what they do, especially with the emergence of Dawson Knox.

334
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: You know, he can also handle some of that underneath stuff.

335
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: They can go to singletary if they want so. I

336
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: like to fit for Christian Kirk there. But yeah, I

337
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: think it's defensive line and then just figure out, you know,

338
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: how to keep at least you know, three deep at

339
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: wide receiver, if not four deep.

340
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins.

341
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 5: How about the Miami Dolphins. They've got a ton to

342
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: spend as well. They've got a new coach coming in

343
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 5: of course they've They've got some. There's a lot of

344
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: questions too, if they want to upgrade a quarterback with with.

345
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 4: Tua, do they end up moving off to him?

346
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 5: They're running out of time based on the stars that

347
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 5: are going away with Rogers and Wilson their decisions earlier

348
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 5: this week. But what are some things the Dolphins can

349
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 5: do to shore up their roster and what does their

350
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: cap out look look like before free agency?

351
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm a ton of cap space.

352
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: I believe as we record this their number two in

353
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: the league, they have over fifty million dollars in cap space.

354
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: I think they are going to stick with two.

355
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: I think that was part of McDaniels kind of signing

356
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: on and they kind of said they're out on Watson

357
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: and I really don't know who else would be a

358
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: major game changer for them. So I think it's going

359
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: to be about kind of helping Tua. And one of

360
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: the things he struggled with was pressure. His thirty four

361
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: point two PFF great under pressure with thirty three or

362
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: forty qualified quarterbacks, just three touchdowns seven picks under pressure.

363
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: So I think that you need to go out and

364
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: make sure he's protected. I think, you know, they have

365
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: enough cap space to break the bank for toront Armstead.

366
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: I think they should throw money at him if you know,

367
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't want to go there, but I mean

368
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: it's Miami. You know, it's Miami. It could be a

369
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: lot of money.

370
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 4: Why not.

371
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: So I think he's a guy that you want to.

372
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: Target, you know, Iikemberg and Davis just not getting it

373
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: done at the tackle position, and Miamis you know, they've

374
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: been in the news. They've been linked to a lot

375
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: of top end free agents just because of their cap space,

376
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: their interest in J. C. Jackson, which would really be

377
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 3: crazy because they also have you know Howard. I think

378
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: that would make a great, even better cornerback combination there

379
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: Ryan Jensen at center.

380
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: You know, they're old line.

381
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: It's pretty weak almost all the way across, So I

382
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: think he would be a huge grade for them. And

383
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: then Amari Cooper because remember they they had to failed

384
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: Will Fuller experiment, still got Waddle KASICKI was franchise tag,

385
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 3: but still probably need one more guy to truly kind

386
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: of take some of that pressure off to a you know,

387
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: Parker's probably going to be on the outside, but another

388
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: receiver could really help. So but I really like them

389
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: to just go after toront Armstead. I think that's what

390
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: they need to do first and foremost.

391
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: New England Patriots.

392
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: Let me go to the Patriots. New England Patriots thirteen

393
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 5: million dollars in cap space.

394
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 4: They do not tag J. C. Jackson. That's a team.

395
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: I wonder if they try to make changes to well,

396
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 5: we don't even know what their staff looks like, Like

397
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 5: who's going to call the place for the Patriots next year?

398
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 5: Because they lose McDaniels, who a lot of folks figured

399
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 5: would be the next guy behind Belichick. You hear rumblings

400
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 5: anytime a big name wide receiver becomes available, Amari Cooper

401
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 5: or Robbie Anderson. Who have they been in discussions with?

402
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: What are the Patriots do? Because they look at it

403
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 5: now like we got to find a way here to

404
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 5: maintain our offensive prowess. We've got to match Buffalo. We

405
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 5: have a shot at this division.

406
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: Interesting on offense because the line is still pretty strong.

407
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: You know, Trent Brown looks like he's going to be back,

408
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: which I think is important. I think they should resign him.

409
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: You got your quarterback of the future. The wide receivers,

410
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: I think Myers is decent I think Bourne could be

411
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: a third guy, But yeah, I think they need a

412
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: Cooper or Robbie Anderson. That's kind of underwhelming, but they've

413
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: been winked to him as a trade target. But if

414
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: Cooper's released from Dallas, I think that's the guy they

415
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: should go out and get because remember New England drafting

416
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: wide receivers not very not very good. And I'm also

417
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: a little worried about you know, Bill Belichick and just

418
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: is he gonna finally be spread too thin?

419
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he lost, He's lost so many.

420
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: Coaches over these past few years, and now they're talking

421
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: about he might call offensive players, and we know he's

422
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: like the genius on the defensive side of the ball.

423
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: So I actually think that, you know, they need to

424
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: make sure their defense is fortified as well. They're gonna

425
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: lose a very, very impactful player in J. C.

426
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: Jackson.

427
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: It looks like, I mean, seventeen picks the last thirty

428
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: three games over these last two season.

429
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: That's tough to replace.

430
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 3: So I have an interesting one, a little bit under

431
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 3: the radar, but Travarious Ward I think will be a.

432
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 2: Good fit there in New England.

433
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: He was twenty first in PFF's cornerback grades last year

434
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: above average each of the last three years.

435
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 4: He can play man coverage.

436
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 3: He's just twenty six years old, and the action's probably

437
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: gonna get you know, twenty million year. Gilmore probably is

438
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 3: going to take you know, twelve to fifteen. I think

439
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: you could get Ward for around ten million year. So

440
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: a travarious Ward is kind of the fit that I

441
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 3: have kind of circled here for New England on the

442
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball.

443
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Gilmore's not going back there. He he ain't Goldmer.

444
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 5: That didn't end well. And yeah, I mean it's another

445
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: big offseason. I thought last year would have been bigger,

446
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: but and by bigger, I mean they answered the call spending.

447
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 5: They spent one hundred and eighty million dollars. But now

448
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: it's another offseason where Bill Belichick will be challenged to

449
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 5: figure out who the next guy is at corner. And

450
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 5: just to quickly wrap here on the Patriots, they've had

451
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 5: a guy at corner for the last decade. I mean

452
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 5: you go back to they did it with Rebus, they

453
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: did it with Malcolm Butler, they did it with a

454
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 5: Sante Samuel, they did it with Keith Tale. They've had

455
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: a guy yes, shutdown corner. So we'll see what they do.

456
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 5: Let me go to the Jets, New York Jets. I

457
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: don't I hate doing this to the Jets, but like

458
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 5: Robert Sala, job security is always.

459
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: On the line.

460
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: You're a head coach with the Jets, right, So something

461
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: to consider. They've got a boltload to spend as well.

462
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 5: What do the Jets do to spend or not spend?

463
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 5: What do the Jets do here?

464
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 3: You got to spend on that pass defense, specifically a corner.

465
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: They were thirty second in pass.

466
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 3: Defense DVOA a year ago, so I think, you know,

467
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: you just got to start at the top here at corner.

468
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to throw.

469
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: You gotta throw whatever J. C.

470
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: Jackson wants.

471
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: You got to throw that money at him, and if

472
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: he doesn't want it, you just kind of go down

473
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: the list from there. You know, Gilmore and Ward and

474
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: all those guys like you need cornerbacks, that's what you need,

475
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: you know, in in New York first and foremost. Obviously

476
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of holes on the roster on offense.

477
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: You know, I think it'll be interesting to see who

478
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: they kind of want to surround Elijah Moore with, you know,

479
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: to grow Zach Wilson and you know, probably could still

480
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: use a little bit of help on the interior, but

481
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: I think cornerback has to be the priority. So I

482
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: just think you make a you know, the best offer

483
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: that you think is gonna entice Jackson, and then you know,

484
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: if he doesn't want to go there, and.

485
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: He probably won't want to go there because he's gonna have.

486
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: His choices, I would think you just go down the list.

487
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: I mean, Gilmore, Carlton Davis, you know, Hayward probably not

488
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: because he's more of a I think he's gonna be

489
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: more of like a one year deal guy. But you

490
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 3: would really like to get you know, one of those

491
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: top three Jackson, Gilmore or Carlton Davis if you're the

492
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: jetson and then even supplement that, you know, with maybe

493
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: an award a Steven Nelson Hayden you mentioned, I think

494
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: he goes to a contender as well, but Dante Jackson,

495
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: maybe you know whoever you can get, Like, you need

496
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: multiple corners, but you especially need one and preferably a

497
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: guy like Davis or Jackson who's young that because this

498
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: is a rebuild, this is gonna take some time. You

499
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: do want a guy that's young here. But you know,

500
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what's gonna happen with Zach Wilson. Will

501
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: he be able to take them even to the playoffs

502
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: on his rookie deal?

503
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: Is he?

504
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 2: You know? Who knows? But I think you.

505
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 3: Want to go youngest because you're in rebuild mode here

506
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 3: at cornerback if you're the Jets, but you can't be

507
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: dead last in pass defense in the passing league in

508
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two.

509
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 5: No surprises here at Jets are the fourth favorite in

510
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 5: the AFC East, Bills your favorite Patriots second, then the Dolphins.

511
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 5: Two divisions down, two to go, and just a reminder,

512
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 5: tuned into the Action Network podcast, we are talking NFL

513
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 5: free agency preview. We're looking at the AFC Chris Raybahn,

514
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 5: NFL analyst Brendan last Sheen. We move on to the

515
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 5: AFC North and the reigning AFC.

516
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: Champs, Cincinnati Bengals.

517
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 5: Plus twenty two hundred right now to win the Super Bowl.

518
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: They are co favorites. The Ravens betted twenty two hundreds.

519
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: Come on, like, are are you serious? Like this team

520
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 5: has cap space. That's what's what's crazy about the fact that.

521
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: The Bengals you know, got to the super Bowl in

522
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: year two of Joe Burrow. Is they still have Joe Burrow,

523
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 3: a super Bowl quarterback now on his rookie contract. They

524
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: have Jamar Chase good like yeah.

525
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, like hear the.

526
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: Sell the time, Chris, I'm sure you just too. Well, hey,

527
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 5: he's on his rookie contract. Yeah, but the quarterback has

528
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 5: to be good, right, See, like the Rams, they had

529
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 5: Jared Goff on the rookie contract. Then they realized, oh

530
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 5: it's not enough. We got to the super Bowl and

531
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 5: we didn't win it, so they moved off them and

532
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 5: went out and got a real quarterback.

533
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: Continue Sorry, yeah, no, I totally agree. And it's March

534
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: right free agency hasn't even started yet. We're sitting here

535
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: on a betting podcast trying to give people any advice

536
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: we can about what to do. Now. There's not many

537
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 3: things I'm gonna recommend that you go out and bet

538
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: in March for the NFL. But the Bengals, you know,

539
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: twenty two to one to win the super Bowl with

540
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: the sixth most cap space in the league, with Joe

541
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: Burrow and Jamar Chase on rookie contracts, take that, uh,

542
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 3: you know, ten one to win the AFC.

543
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: Take that, you know, they're not.

544
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 3: Even the favorites to wait, yeah, yeah, they're co favorites, right, Yeah,

545
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: they're call favorites to win the division. I mean that's

546
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: kind of absurd, just giving their quarterback situation in their

547
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: cap space, because again, they got by with a very

548
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: poor offensive line, and now they're going to be able

549
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: to throw some money at some of these top guys

550
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: out there. You know, Toront Armstead, they may have a chance,

551
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, he's gonna have his kind of

552
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 3: pick and teams are gonna be throwing money out at him,

553
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: but they're gonna have a chance at him. The top guard,

554
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: Brandon Sheriff, they're gonna have a chance at him. Ryan

555
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: Jensen at center, they're gonna have a chance at him.

556
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: So they're gonna have a chance at all these guys.

557
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: I mean, heck, we're hearing that they're interested in J. C.

558
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: Jackson. I think that's you know, I don't think that's

559
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: gonna happen.

560
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: But if I'm Jackson and they're throwing me enough money,

561
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: why wouldn't I go there?

562
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 5: So I mean they're in play for just.

563
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: All of these elite free agents and This is a

564
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: team that went to the Super Bowl and has quarterback

565
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: under control, and not only that, but has one of.

566
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: The best receivers in the game.

567
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: So ah yeah, this is a team that I think

568
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 3: you want to bet on now because they're only going

569
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 3: to get better from here on out, Like free agency

570
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 3: is only going to make them better.

571
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: With you know, over thirty million dollars in cap space.

572
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: I love how Chris is fired up.

573
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 5: He jumped right in there on the Bengals, the disrespect

574
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 5: as it pertains to their number to win the Super Bowl,

575
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 5: as he said, twenty two to one. They're the fourth

576
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 5: favor in the AFC, as we discussed earlier, though only

577
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 5: my only caution would be maybe Waight get a better

578
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 5: number during the season if they get off to a

579
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 5: slow start. Those super Bowl hangover thing. That's really I mean.

580
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.

581
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: But like the people who listen to this podcast, they're

582
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 3: not trying to wait. That's why they're listening. I know it.

583
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: We gotta give him.

584
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: There's that many again, like you're not gonna hear me

585
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: throwing out a bunch of these recommendations. I just think

586
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: the Bengals are one of the few that you look

587
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: at and you say, oh, you know this team is

588
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: gonna get better, Like yeah, like the Dolphins are gonna

589
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 3: get better, but like is it gonna matter? Probably not,

590
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: you know, because it's going to be too a tongue

591
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: of IOA. But the Bengals, you know, with Joe Burrow's like, okay,

592
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow and thirty four million dollars a cap space,

593
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 3: Like that's what you're looking for if you are listening

594
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 3: to an NFL betting podcast in.

595
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 5: March, fair point, we have an audience here. You're right,

596
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: Chris again. Free agency starts next week. We move now

597
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 5: to the Cleveland Browns.

598
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns.

599
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: If I was being fair, we'd go in order by

600
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 5: how they finished in the division, which would be Pittsburgh next.

601
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 5: But come on, the Browns. They are more fun to

602
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 5: talk about, the questions surrounding what they do with Baker Mayfield,

603
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 5: what they do with their whole scheme, personnel. Offensively, it's

604
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 5: a great roster. I'm not sure what else they can do.

605
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 5: They have about eighteen million dollars to spend. Your outlook

606
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 5: for free agency and the upcoming off season for the

607
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns.

608
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a great roster. It's some spots not

609
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: at wide receiver. And now we're hearing that Jarvis Landry

610
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: may be on the outs as well, so they're in

611
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: real trouble at wide receiver. You know you're gonna hear

612
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 3: me say this a lot. Amari Cooper's an option if

613
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: he's released by Dallas. Uh just, I'm not really impressed

614
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 3: with the wide receiver class this year, to be honest,

615
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: I actually like the guy who excites me the most

616
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: is probably Christian Kirk, which tells you all you need

617
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: to know. You know, I think guys like Cooper Robinson's

618
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: pretty risky, but he's gonna be in play for Cleveland

619
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 3: because right now, I mean, you're looking at probably not Landry,

620
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 3: and then you have people's Jones and you have Schwartz.

621
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: You know, Higgins is not going to be back, so

622
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: it's ugly at wide receiver. You're probably going to draft

623
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: the guy in the first or you know, early in

624
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: the draft if you're Cleveland at wide receiver, but you

625
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: still need maybe at least one, if not two more

626
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: So every big name wide receiver. I think that's that

627
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: you know they're going to be linked to as they should,

628
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: and then you know they're in the middle of the

629
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: packing cap space, so they do have some flexibility on defense.

630
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: I think one thing I would like to see them

631
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: do is upgrade the interior of the wye. You know,

632
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: we know that you're going to have Garrett on the outside,

633
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: but I was just not impressed with their arior defenders

634
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: last year. Malik Jackson ranked ninety ninth of one hundred

635
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: and ten interior defenders in PFF grades. MO Weekly Dow

636
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 3: was ninety third, Jordan Elliott was one hundred and third.

637
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: So maybe a guy like a Keen Hicks, you know,

638
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: kind of stays in the general area but comes over

639
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: from Chicago to Cleveland. I think he could get him

640
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: for under ten mill a year, you know, falling off

641
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: a little, but I think still would be an upgrade.

642
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: BJ Hill is another option, and then probably gonna still

643
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: need another pass rusher opposite Garrett as well, so I

644
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: like to I would like to see him make some

645
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: moves on the defensive line and then wide receiver. It's

646
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: you know, it's really just going to come down to,

647
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: you know, who they draft and who's going to be available.

648
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: I think rob I wouldn't like break the bank for Robinson.

649
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: I see the contracts I'm seeing for him, the projections

650
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 3: are like, you know, fifteen mili.

651
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

652
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: I mean, he's don't get me wrong, he's a good receiver.

653
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: I don't think last year was a complete reflection on him.

654
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: But we've seen him have these really down stat and

655
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: sometimes with bad quarterbacks. And I don't know where Baker's

656
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: at at this point, especially because we're he doesn't have receivers.

657
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: So you know, if you if you're the only guy

658
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: there for Baker, it's still gonna be tough. So and

659
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a tight end centric offense. So yeah,

660
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: it's it's wide receiver and it's d Wine for Cleveland.

661
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 5: Do you really think you think there's a strong possibility

662
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: Landry's out?

663
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: I mean at first I did it, especially you know,

664
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: once Beckham went. But the more I you know, read

665
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: into it, and the more I'm hearing is that you know,

666
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: he's unhappy. They might be unhappy, you know, the contract, they.

667
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: Don't like it. So I think it's possible.

668
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: And you know he's he kind of you know, he's

669
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: Odell's boys. So I mean, I don't I don't think

670
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: he is too thrilled with playing with Baker either.

671
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: To be honest, that's just the sense I get.

672
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know if that's been like an

673
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: actual rumor or not, but yeah, I think there's a

674
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: real chance that Lander's.

675
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: Up Baltimore Ravens.

676
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens very limited in terms of what they have

677
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 5: available to spend this offseason. What else do they put

678
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: around Lamar Jackson and what else can the rape? What

679
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 5: can the Ravens do in this free agency period.

680
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: I think Lamar Jackson just has to carry them, Like

681
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't think like we've you know, we've kind of

682
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: talked about every year, what are they gonna do on

683
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: offense to kind of help Lamar? And you know they

684
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 3: got Bateman and they Watkins last year though he didn't

685
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 3: really pan out, But you have Brown, Mark Andrews is

686
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: a stud might even be the best pass catching tight

687
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: end in the league. Now you know that Kelsey's getting

688
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: a little bit older. So you know, I think Jackson

689
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: Jackson is their guy. He's their money franchise quarterback. I

690
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: think he's got to just carry them on offense. I

691
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 3: think you have to fix the defense. Uh, you know,

692
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: they were thirtieth in DVOA against the pass uh and

693
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: they were thirty first over the middle. So I think

694
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 3: a slot corner would help a lot. You know, they're

695
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: gonna you know, obviously get healthier on the outside, but

696
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 3: maybe a Bryce Callahan what a ninety six percentile slot

697
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: grade from PFF I also played some outside corner, you know,

698
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: played in a man heavy scheme before. I think, you know,

699
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: a guy like that can help. But I just think

700
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: the secondary. You know, maybe you're gonna need a safety

701
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: as well, but I just think the secondary is gonna

702
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: have to be better, and you know they're also gonna

703
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: help it out, but they're probably not gonna blitz quite

704
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: as much. So maybe you need a little help in

705
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: the past rushing department. But yeah, that that pass defense

706
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: has to get better, and I think some depth in

707
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: the secondary would go a long way, because we saw

708
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: it happened to them last year and it was not pretty.

709
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers.

710
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 5: Finally, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who did finish second in the

711
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 5: division at nine to seven and one in twenty twenty one.

712
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 5: The big question with them is who's their quarterback going

713
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: to be next year? Do we have faith in Mason

714
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 5: Rudolph to be the guy that can't be Mike Tomlin's answer, right,

715
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 5: with the talented receiver, with what they are building on defense.

716
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 5: This is also another pretty good roster, the Aaron Rodgers.

717
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 5: There was connections there about going after a big names.

718
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: That's not gonna happen, but they to me feel like

719
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 5: a team and Chris, I think you're on the same

720
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: page here. They got to make an upgraded quarterback because

721
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 5: they can still they can still contended for a wild

722
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 5: card spot at the minimum, maybe the division.

723
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look at them last year.

724
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: They got to the playoffs with that whatever that was

725
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: of Big Ben, the ghost of the ghost of Big Ben.

726
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: Broken, right, So I think an interesting one.

727
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: And this is you know, obviously there will be some

728
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: trade potential potential with Jimmy g but I think if

729
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: you're talking a free agency, I think Jameis Winston would

730
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: make a lot of sense here because he's a guy

731
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: that he finally started to cut down in his turnovers

732
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: a little bit. He showed that he could be in

733
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: that kind of game manager role with the Saints. You know,

734
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: very low volume guy. I think he was career low

735
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: interception rate. I think he would cost like under ten

736
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: million year, probably maybe could even get him on a

737
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: one year deal and he can get the ball down

738
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: the field and that would help Chase Claypool, that would

739
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: help Deontay Johnson. So for me, I think Jameis Winston

740
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: would be interesting. Now the ownership has expressed you know

741
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: that they you know, could be interested in.

742
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: A guy that has some mobility. And because this team was.

743
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: Able to win you know, what was it, nine games

744
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: with Roethlisberger last year, they can win with kind of

745
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 3: a low volume, a game manager type of guy, and

746
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: so if he's mobile, maybe they get like a Mariota,

747
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 3: a Tyrod Taylor, Mitch Drew Bisky, somebody like that. I mean,

748
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 3: they could ruin another nine games and sneak into the playoffs.

749
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 3: At one of those guys. They won't be pretty, it'll

750
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 3: be probably just as ugly, but there's not much out there.

751
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's got to be quarterback. I like Jamis,

752
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: but if not, I'm looking at Tyrod, Mariota, Trubisky.

753
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 5: Finally, we make our way to the AFC South again.

754
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 5: On this episode, we highlight the AFC today as well.

755
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 5: We'll have an episode out on the NFC. In terms

756
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 5: of our twenty twenty two NFL Free agency Preview. We'll

757
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 5: start with the reigning division champion, number one seed in

758
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 5: the AFC last year, the Tennessee Titans.

759
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans.

760
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 4: What can the Titans do?

761
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 5: What's your outlook of the Titans and how they can

762
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 5: road nap their way to another one seed and contend

763
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 5: And what is now again we keep saying it all

764
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 5: low to AFC.

765
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're still squarely in their window of contention.

766
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: So I think they're gonna try to, you know, probably

767
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: go after some you know, some cost effective veterans on.

768
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 2: One year deals. Here.

769
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 3: They don't have a lot of cap space, you know,

770
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: so it's not you know, they're twenty seventh in the league.

771
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 3: I think they're still over the cap as of now,

772
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: so they're gonna have to do some things to kind

773
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: of kind of make some room here. But one thing

774
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 3: I noticed with them was that this pass offense slipped

775
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: at twenty first in DVOA. And you know this team,

776
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: Yes they're run first with Derrick Henry, but they counted

777
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 3: on that pass offense to be extremely efficient because of Henry,

778
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 3: and so twenty first is not gonna get it done

779
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: for them. And one of the things that I think

780
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: they were was John hu Smith, and I know he

781
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 3: didn't do much in New England, but I think the

782
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 3: tight end position, given how much they use it, I

783
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 3: just think they didn't get enough from it. So I

784
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: wonder if a guy like maybe like a Gronk would

785
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: be willing to go there on like a one year deal.

786
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: You know. I think he would really be a good

787
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: fit in a play action game. He could block, you know,

788
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 3: but they need.

789
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: Somebody over the middle.

790
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: Chester Rogers not going to get it done. Nick Westbrook

791
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: Akda not going to get it done. We saw how

792
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: that ended in the playoffs. So I'm looking at, if

793
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: not a tight end a Gronk an Ertz, maybe a

794
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: slot receiver like a Jamison Crowder. I think Braxton Burrios

795
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: actually would be really interesting. I think he's an underrated

796
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: guy who can play inside, and he would also be

797
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: able to step into that return role that Rogers had,

798
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: So it wouldn't be a big splashy move, but it

799
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 3: would be an upgrade on Rogers, especially the way they

800
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: kind of use that offense, where you know they do

801
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: use a lot of tight ends, so that third receiver

802
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 3: does and have to be like this super expensive week guy.

803
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: But I just think they need more production over the

804
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 3: middle of the field, given that they're so dependent on

805
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: play action and because Julio you can't really count him

806
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: to be healthy.

807
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 5: Wouldn't surprise me if John hus Smith becomes available out

808
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 5: of New England, he can go back because it didn't

809
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 5: go well his first year in New England, which happens

810
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 5: with that playbook and a new offense, So keep an

811
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 5: eye on that.

812
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts.

813
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 5: We go to the Colts, and folks remember the Colts

814
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 5: now for how they collapsed the last week of the

815
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 5: season against the Jaguars, and now, amazingly you would not

816
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 5: have thought this last year at this time, but their

817
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 5: head coach and their GM could could be two guys

818
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 5: on the hot seat, and Frank Wright and Chris Ballard

819
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: for how they constructed this roster and more so how

820
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 5: they trusted Carson Wentz to be their guy at quarterback.

821
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 4: What do the Colts do to get back on track, Well,

822
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 4: they do.

823
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: Have cap space.

824
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: They're kind of dangerous a little bit because they do

825
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 3: have some caps to where they're top five right now

826
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: in cap space. So they do need a quarterback that's

827
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: first and foremost there's just you know, I don't mean

828
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: to beat a dead horse, no pun attended, but there's

829
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 3: just no real great options out there, you.

830
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 2: Know, they're you know, like especially in the free agent market.

831
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: So can this team get a guy who can give

832
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 3: them maybe what Philip Rivers gave them a couple of

833
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: years ago. I mean, Jimmy g could definitely do that

834
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 3: if they trade for him. Could anyone else on that

835
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: free agent market?

836
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

837
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Winston's still in the most intriguing

838
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: just because like if you kind of say, okay, if

839
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: he can be as efficient as he was last year,

840
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 3: but just like a little more volume. You know, the

841
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 3: Coast still have this run game, right, they still have

842
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: this this run game that's gonna be great, And so

843
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 3: they don't need a high volume passing attack. But obviously

844
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: they need quarterback. They need another receiver because you know,

845
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: they can't trust any of these guys to besides Pittman

846
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: to be good or healthy really, so they obviously need that.

847
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: And then but what I really think the cold the

848
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: outside of quarterback is a pass rusher. Because they were

849
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 3: thirty first, second to last in pressure rate a year ago,

850
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: around eighteen percent they were twenty fifth with thirty three sacks,

851
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: so I'm looking at them to go after one of

852
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: the better edge rushers. I think Shandwer Jones would be

853
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: an interesting fit. He had eleven sacks last year. I

854
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: think he could play the Leo or the Sam and

855
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: Disgus Bradley defense. But I really think they need a

856
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: pass rusher or maybe even two. I know they like

857
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: Quitty Pay, but they definitely need to increase that pressure rate.

858
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: And then Xavier Rose has probably gone, so I think

859
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: Casey Hayward's a real logical fit. Had a really good

860
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 3: year for Bradwi in Vegas last year, so I think

861
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 3: that's just kind of a logical replacement for Rhodes.

862
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 5: In the South, Titans are the favorite at plus one hundred.

863
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 5: The Colts file in behind at plus one forty. Let's

864
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 5: spend a few moments on these next two teams because

865
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 5: there's a lot Well, the Jaguars will go Jaguars first

866
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 5: because there's a little bit more known, but same situation,

867
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 5: I think more so in this.

868
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: Case Jacksonville Jaguars.

869
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 5: Balkey the GM he better have got this right with

870
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 5: Doug Peterson. He's the new head coach.

871
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 4: But Bulkey.

872
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 5: I think going into last year, middle of last year,

873
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 5: would he keep his role as head as general manager.

874
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: I think he remains on the hot seat going into

875
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 5: this year. With Trevor Lawrence in year two, you actually

876
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 5: think though there might be an angle for them to

877
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 5: go out and get another weapon for Truvor.

878
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: They need to get weapons for Trevor Lawrence. And again

879
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 3: I'm not I look at Christian Kirk. I think he

880
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: because the Jaguars they just kind of need to get

881
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 3: better all around, so they don't need Kirk to come

882
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: in and necessarily be that like number one guy, although

883
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 3: I think he could emerge as such. But I just

884
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: think that versatility of being able to play inside outside

885
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 3: beat man coverage you get deep. I think that would

886
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: be a good receiver. And he's young, you know, he's

887
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: only twenty five, you know, to have him there for

888
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 3: the next you know, three four years with Lawrence, you know,

889
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 3: I think that would be beneficial for them. They're probably

890
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 3: still gonna need, you know, one more wide receiver. Looks

891
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 3: like Channault is a bus but you know, they'll probably

892
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: use ETN in the spot. No, they can do a

893
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: lot of things, but I think Kirk is an interesting one.

894
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: You know, I doubt Alan Robinson's gonna be up for

895
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 3: a reunion there, so so Kirk kind of stands out

896
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 3: to me. They are fift in cap space, so they

897
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 3: are a team that I think they can get better

898
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: pretty much at every position. I think the defense is

899
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 3: ahead of the offense. Even though you have Lawrence, I

900
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 3: still think the defense is a little better. So yeah,

901
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: I'm looking for them to just kind of add weapons.

902
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: I think Kirk makes sense, but this team is I

903
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: would go at for them. I would just kind of

904
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: go after maybe not every like the elite free agents

905
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 3: because they're probably not gonna want to go there, but

906
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: get a lot of solid guys that are young that

907
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 3: you can kind of build around. That makes sense here

908
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville to kind of plug these holes because this

909
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 3: is a winnable division. So it's like, I don't think

910
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 3: you want to put all your eggs in one basket,

911
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 3: especially at this stage. I think you want to kind

912
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 3: of keep that cat flexibility and just kind of shore

913
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 3: up the roster because this is a division that I mean,

914
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 3: the way the way it's looking, you know a lot

915
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 3: of people liked them last year.

916
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: I wasn't a believer because of urban Meyer.

917
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know, this year things break right,

918
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: they could be right there with like a eight and

919
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: eight record, you know, and be in positioned it to

920
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: maybe or eight and nine or nine and eight whatever

921
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: it is to to win this thing.

922
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 5: Jags plus seven fifty to win the AFC selth which

923
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 5: is the third best odds of the four teams. And also,

924
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 5: I mean, really, just folks, remember Doug Peterson Nick Foles

925
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 5: that combination in the Super Bowl. Keep in mind he

926
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 5: got an MVP season out of Carson went to won

927
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 5: thirteen games. So perhaps you can get the same out

928
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 5: of a young, more promising quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. And

929
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 5: I like to call it receiver because I'm pretty sure

930
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 5: DJ Shark is a numberstricted free agent too. Yeah, get achieved.

931
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: He's not going to be back, I doubt it. Yeah.

932
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 5: All right, let's go to the Texans, of course, a

933
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 5: team that it's really hard to figure out what is

934
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 5: going on there. Nick Cassario has been dealt a tough

935
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 5: hand with the just John Watson's story, and they make

936
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 5: a change coach.

937
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: And we've just got breaking news.

938
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 5: That we can discuss in our next our next show

939
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 5: which actually works out well in the NFC, which is

940
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 5: that also was dropping today folks. We'll get to that

941
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 5: as it pertains to the former quarterback of the Colts,

942
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 5: Carson Wentz.

943
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 4: I met it here on the Texans.

944
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 5: What do you think the Texans do?

945
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: Houston Texans?

946
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean Texans.

947
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 3: They can stand upgrade pretty much every single position on

948
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 3: their rosters.

949
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm not going to go through them all.

950
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 3: You know, we all kind of know who the top

951
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: free agents are at each position. They're kind of middle

952
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 3: of the packing cap space. Obviously Deshaun Watson plays into that.

953
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 3: But one position that I would kind of circle here

954
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 3: is that when we talk about too much but Guard,

955
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: I mean like their interior line was just so bad

956
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 3: and their run game was just so bad. You know,

957
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 3: Howard was the worst run blocking guard in the league

958
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 3: last year, thirty second in rushing Dvoa, Connor Williams, James Daniels.

959
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 3: You know, these guys are gonna be available, both top

960
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 3: twenty run blockers at GUARD. I think those guys make

961
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 3: a lot of sense. But I just think this roster

962
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 3: is gonna have to get upgraded all around. But like

963
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 3: you have to be able to get like you know,

964
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: a cup a yard when you need it at some point,

965
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 3: Like you can't just run for like thirty yards every

966
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 3: single game when you're a team that probably has to

967
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: kind of shorten these games because you're gonna be the

968
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 3: underdog in every game, So you can't be that bad

969
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: at running, even though running is obviously not as important

970
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 3: as passing. So I think you need to upgrade the

971
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: interior line.

972
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 4: That's gonna do it for us.

973
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 5: On this episode of the Action Network podcast, again, folks,
