9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: Mark took some heat on Twitter a couple of days

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: ago for not being in. Somebody said that you were

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: the Johnny Carson of the show, and I thought that

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: was a little I think it's misunderstood that if we're

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: not here on a Monday, it's because we're on vacation.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: It's actually because we work on Saturday, the weekends and whatnot. No,

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited and I've been looking towards This show in

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: particular is the one that Mark is going to lead

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the way. He's had a key to this whole podcast.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: We're talking about leadership skills. To your time, Mark, alright,

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: let's do it. I don't know what to tell you.

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where that's coming from all right by

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited about Mark today. There is a salty Sessler

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: in the air, and you never know what happens, and

00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and t D I would say, keep on your toes.

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh yes, when that happens, everything's up in the air.

00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: here because as we get closer and closer to the draft,

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,760

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: down all different elements of free agency and the post

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,280

00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,920

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: last year. Let's do this. A good musician never never

43

Speaker 1: on pop culture. But you don't force feed us the

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: superhero because who could Who would hear about this this

60
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: big indie movie, The Avengers without you promoting it? By

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: the way, the latest because there's been too many of them. Well,

62
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: it's been two trailers and this is the third one.

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: I didn't realize our podcast audience is eight year old.

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Well they are, according to wes you know, just saying.

65
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: But by the way, man, I do like that one.

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's start be better to come up. Let's start

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: with Lashawn McCoy. The big news that broke on Tuesday.

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy out of Philly traded to the Buffalo Bills

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: for Kiko Alonso, the linebacker. One of the biggest, you know,

70
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: player for players swaps we've seen in and years, perhaps

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: a decade, going back to Mark I think you pointed

72
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: it out on Twitter. It was exactly ten years to

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: the day prior that there was the big Clinton portist

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: for Champ Bailey trade. So now Lashawn McCoy headed up

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: to Orchard Park, Kiko Alonso to Philly. Start with Chris

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: Wesling who won this trade? I I think both teams won,

77
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: but I really I know the Eagles caught more flak

78
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: for it, and I see this from their point of view,

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: and to me, Chip Kelly is sort of in a

80
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: situation where Bill Belichick was when he came to New England.

81
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: He's going to institute his system, he's gonna make unpopular moves.

82
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: But twelve million dollars against the cap for a running

83
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: back who declined across the board last year, and to me,

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean he averaged. Greg had this stat earlier in

85
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the day. Of the nine team players with two fifty touches,

86
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: he had the lowest per touch average in the NFL

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: four point three yard for touch Darren Sproules average seven

88
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: point four behind the same offensive line. He just wasn't

89
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: as productive as he needed to be to be drawing

90
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars against a cat. I don't think any

91
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: running back is. I think that's part of it is

92
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: that that they must have asked. There must have been

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: some conversation behind the scenes where they said, listen, you're talented,

94
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: we want to keep you around, but not at that

95
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: price tag. And they balked, and NFL Media's Michael Silver

96
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: says that they called up the bills and the conversation

97
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: was twenty minutes long. That's how great is that. That's

98
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: how it should be. That's terrific. It's like, we like

99
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso and they're like, really, we could get McCoy. Hey,

100
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: rex you like lost. Yeah, yeah, let's do it like

101
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: that was pretty much it. You know, one thing I

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: think is a little unfair. I know McCoy wasn't as

103
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: good last year, but he's still I think he's gonna

104
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: be as his age twenty seven season coming up. Uh

105
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: do Isn't It seemed a little premature to say that

106
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: he's in decline and sometimes players don't always have uh

107
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: they can't top each year prior, and he was the

108
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: best running back in the lead two years running before

109
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: this best season, which was still total yard uh season.

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: He wasn't a bad running back and behind a line

111
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: that used eleven lineman last year, they were not what

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: they were the year before. That was a factor. That

113
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: was a factor, and that's why I think it is

114
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a win win. I don't think that's so crazy. We

115
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: don't have to have a hot take. I think Philly

116
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: has the safer side. It's hard to see this going

117
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: too poorly for them because I think Chip Kelly believes

118
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: he can plug in another running back into his system

119
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: and have it work. And I kind of believe it too.

120
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he got rid of the Sean Jackson. He's

121
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: creating yards. It's a deep running back crop in the

122
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: draft and free agency. I think that'll be fine, But

123
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if Lashawn McCoy continues what has

124
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: so far been on track for a Hall of Fame

125
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: consideration type of career. We don't. We don't think of

126
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: McCoy like that, and he's gonna have to keep going

127
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: in this trajectory. All I'm saying is, if you look

128
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: at his six first years in the league, he's been

129
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: one of the twenty five, let's say, best players at

130
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: any position. And so if you're gonna be and take

131
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: a risk with the guy, It's not like his salaries

132
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: that crazy. It's eight million dollars a year. Both the

133
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Bills have plenty of cap rooms, so

134
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: they could fit that in, and it's it's not crazy

135
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: to imagine McCoy having two really good seasons with them.

136
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: I think this trade is about resource allocation. You know

137
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: you have a competitive advantage allocation corporate Chip Kelly's offensive

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: system gives them a competitive advantage, So why not allocate

139
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: your resources to defense, sir? They know need they need

140
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: to overhaul the secondary. You put Keiko Alonso along with

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks. You have possibly the Leak's fastest inside linebacker duo,

142
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: and you've got a good defensive line, so you build

143
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: up a better defense and put all your money on

144
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. And we know that he

145
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: values We've heard this over and over the last spring

146
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: for hours. It's quarterbacks and offensive lineman is what he

147
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: puts his That's where he wants his money if anything.

148
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: And it is interesting though from a from an angle

149
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: of is he under pressure like Belichick was to some

150
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: degree even in that first Super Bowl season in New England,

151
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: they got off to a bad start and people wanted

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: the chick's head. And if it happens in Philly in

153
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: two back to back seasons where you've left to Sean

154
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Jackson and Lashawn McCoy walk out the door, if you

155
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: get off to an ugly start, people in that city

156
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: are crazy. But they would no matter what in Philly.

157
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: That's why I love Chip Kelly. He doesn't care, he

158
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: doesn't care about taking the criticism. He he just does it.

159
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: He has a strong vision and a singular philosophy, and

160
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: that's why I think he's similar to Belichi that But

161
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: the one thing is, and I've talked about this about

162
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: him being the genius and and no one can outthink

163
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: the great Chip Kelly. Uh but let's just let me

164
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: because calm down a little bit. He hasn't shown anything

165
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL beyond a couple of decent seasons. So

166
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: if I'm an Eagles fan, I'm not getting I'm not

167
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: completely all in a Chip Kelly definitely making the right

168
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: decisions here. He's hanging his onions here a little bit,

169
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: and I respect that, and I think Greg it's part

170
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: of the reason why you like what he's doing here,

171
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: because he he doesn't care what other people think. But also,

172
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: this is pretty risky. You're giving away the best deep

173
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: threat in the league arguably last year, and now you're

174
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: getting rid of one of the best running backs of

175
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: his generation in this year. He took over a bad team.

176
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they had talent, but they weren't

177
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: a winning team. And he's won ten games with him,

178
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: so I think you have to give them credit. He

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: turned Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez and anyone that can

180
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: turn quarterbacks that are mediocre into very useful quarterbacks. I

181
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: think that's a legit skill. We have seen it. Not

182
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: to worry, he's got Riley Cooper locked up for five

183
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: million a year bottom line, though it is risky also

184
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: to go into a season paying or running back twelve

185
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: million a year. If they went to him and tried

186
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: to say, let's do something here and he wouldn't do it,

187
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: they almost had no other move than to move than

188
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: well that was the LEAs summer trade him. I I

189
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: don't agree with that. If they if McCoy had a

190
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: good year and he ran the way that Chip Kelly

191
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: wants his running backs to do it, which is a

192
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: little more north south. I think it was a lot

193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: about McCoy not really having a great season, not being

194
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: great along the goal, and I think you'd pay him.

195
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: It was eight was something going on because he Bruce

196
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: arians on nfl Am said, oh we we knew that

197
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: this was there was something going on here. I think block, yeah,

198
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: they were looking to trade him, But I think it

199
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: was more about how McCoy played than it even was

200
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: about the salary, because eight million dollars is not that crazy.

201
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: They have fifty million dollars now in cap room. If

202
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: he was if he was one of the best two

203
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: or three running back in the league, thought he was lost.

204
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: Everything ties back to money and I think this ties

205
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: back to money in a large way. What about Kiko Alonso,

206
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: by the way, do we want to talk about him

207
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: at all? Yeah? Yeah, I just want to say real quick,

208
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: it goes beyond what both of you guys said money

209
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: and how he played, because Ladanyan Thomason and Ian Rappaport

210
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: both said Lashawn McCoy and Chip Kelly the relationship was

211
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: strained by the end of the year. They just weren't

212
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: getting along. McCoy didn't like Kelly's practice schedule and thought

213
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: his legs weren't good enough shape on game day. I

214
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: mean with Alonso, Kelly's getting a guy that he's coached

215
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: before that's shown he can be great at the NFL level.

216
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: And West mentioned that Kendricks and Alonso is going to

217
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: be the identity of that defense, those two guys in

218
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: the middle flying around. I mean, that could be pretty fun.

219
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: The thing I'd worry about if I'm an Eagles fan

220
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: is man Chip Kelly has a lot of power like

221
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: he We know he's a good coach, but I don't

222
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: know that he's a good GM. They spent a lot

223
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: of the last couple of weeks cutting guys that Chip

224
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: Kelly signed. Not just that Howie Roseman signed James Casey.

225
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Not big time sign is carry williams uh Todd Harriman's

226
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: was was that Howie Roseman Bradley Fletcher they had no

227
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: interest in. Let's see Tip Kelly's wildly aggressive. I think

228
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna spend like crazy and they're gonna be a

229
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Cut more of their own players, Reggie

230
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: Mackenzie or Chip Kelly. But a battle from Buffalo's side though,

231
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: it's easy to see why they got rid of Alonso.

232
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: They have linebackers coming out of their ears, and they

233
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: want David Harris in free agency. So you've got Preston

234
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Brown and Nigel Bradham, who both played like above average

235
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: starters last year, and if they moved to a three four,

236
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: those two guys would be ticketed for the inside, not

237
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: the outside. And then David Harris is also an inside linebacker.

238
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: And let's give credit to Connor Or, our New Jersey

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: based correspondent, who was on this very podcast two days

240
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: ago and said that Rex Ryan has the ability to

241
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: get gms to act, maybe not impulsively, but to make big,

242
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: splashy moves. And that's exactly what happened I mean they

243
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: haunted soul. Well they don't have a quarterback. What was

244
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: that the shot that is going to be especially funny

245
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: in three years they play that like when they introduced

246
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: the Matt Castle trade. Well, we're gonna get to Castle

247
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: in a second. When you don't when you don't have

248
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you have to make everything else as amazing

249
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: as it can be. And on paper, at least this

250
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: Bill's team with Rex Ryan and all that defensive talent

251
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: and now adding McCoy to a skill position group that

252
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: was already pretty fun. I mean, that is a fun

253
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: looking team in Buffalo. Before before Greg gets too excited

254
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: about the Bills, so let's talk about the quarterback trade

255
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: was agreed to only gonna make me Mark on Wednesday. Uh,

256
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, there was no secret the Bills have been

257
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: looking to upgrade the position, or at least find an

258
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: alternative to E. J. Manuel. They try to get Josh McCown,

259
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: but you know, the Browns wanted him too bad. Mark.

260
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: The Browns wanted to get mccount in their building, so

261
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: they signed him. Talk about it team that always swings

262
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: for the fences. So the Bills instead they would hit

263
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: the trade market and they land Matt Castle from the

264
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings uh in exchange for some deep deep draft

265
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: picks and next year and this year and the Vikings

266
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: now are excuse me, the Bills now have what we

267
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: assume is their starting quarterback for the season. Matt Castle

268
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: will be the guy. Mark you're shaking your head. Why well,

269
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: part of me a little bit is like, wait, you

270
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: you are the This almost feels like when the Browns

271
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: drafted Manzel. Then the Josh Gordon news hit like twenty

272
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: four hours later. It's like, you have made the trade

273
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: that has the NFL talking, and you're exciting. We were

274
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: talking about Rex Ryan Lashawn McCoy and then bang, hey,

275
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: guess what your quarterback is Matt Castle. So all of

276
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo suddenly back in a major midwinter de Prest disagrees.

277
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: You know, Tweeto Domond, tweet o d over here, Weston

278
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Sessler are on NFL now just killing this year. How

279
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: could they do this? Of course t D yeah, d

280
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: D bounce. They gave up nothing in the trade, so

281
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: it's basically a free agent pick up. It only cares

282
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: about the soundbites. That's all he's They're paying him the

283
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: same amount of money or less that Chad Henny and

284
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: Matt Moore and plenty of backups have made over the

285
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: last few years. And it's my advantage. And obviously you

286
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: disagree that the difference. I would take Castle over McCown

287
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: and Hoyer and even Jake Locker in their situation. I

288
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: think Castle is a better option than those guys. But

289
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: to my larger point, what is the difference between all

290
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: those guys. They had to sign someone, They had to

291
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: pick up a veteran. So if you're you know, saying,

292
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: oh Man Sanchez, that was the way that they were

293
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: really going to get it done. It's like we were

294
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: killing every one of these quarterbacks and all you're saying

295
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: is he's He's the best of a bunch of You

296
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: have to do something. You have to pick up someone,

297
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: so I can't kill him. Kyle and Buffalo, You're gonna

298
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: love Kyle Orton light Because Matt Castle was benched for

299
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn two years ago. The Chiefs decided at the

300
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: end of the year they would rather watch that was

301
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: a different situation. They were losing. They wanted to see

302
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: what Quinn could do. Give him his first chance. Ever,

303
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Castle was not work, which tells you what what they

304
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: thought of Matt Castle, who One of my favorite quotes

305
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: and collusion low crossers, WENK Martindale, the old Broncos defensive coordinator,

306
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: said Matt Castle couldn't hit black beauty in a field

307
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: of white mice. I still don't get that. Well, if

308
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: he can't spot black beauty in the field of white mice,

309
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: how is he gonna find an open receiver so he can't? Oh,

310
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: he sees it. I thought it was more like an

311
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: accuracy thing. I think that's included in it. But yeah,

312
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: it's about reading the field. It's hard to keep up

313
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: in a good quarterback heard Wink Martindale. Yeah, what a

314
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: what a vanguard of quarterback evaluation telling that guy is

315
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: where is he at right now? I'm just I don't

316
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: know why I'm taking chat a lot of shots the

317
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: tweedledee tweels Greg. Let's open the floor up for an

318
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: apology right now that I I officially apologize, I guess

319
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: I was not offended, but I was preemptively attacking you

320
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: guys because I knew you you both hate Matt Castle

321
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: with an behind the scenes at the I've already been

322
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: arguing for hours about that at the News desk before

323
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: while right while Mark and West are doing their NFL

324
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Now hit, and I was with Greg and I wrote

325
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: up the post. Greg even said like, you know, because

326
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: he was happy. He thought it was a good deal

327
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: for the Bills. And he's like, oh, I know West

328
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: is gonna come back, and you know bury this sure enough,

329
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: the first thing West gets back, he's something just taking

330
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: down Matt Castle. So this was all in the stars.

331
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Gregg has this image of the Bills. There's a fascinating

332
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: fun team to watch. You can't pay me to watch

333
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Matt Castle play quarterback. They're gonna be boring to watch.

334
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: Here his reality. He was five and four with a

335
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: lousy Vikings team a couple of years ago, and he

336
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: had a couple of good a couple of really good starts,

337
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: one with I think forty points against the Eagles, four

338
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: hundred yards against the Steelers. He's good enough to play

339
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: six or eight decent games. I think he's slightly better

340
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: than the other. Yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do?

341
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: But we knew that there was there was no one

342
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: out there. Go trade for Mike Glann and go trade

343
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins. Let's talk about a slightly better quarterback.

344
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: His name is paid Manning. He's gonna be on the

345
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, most likely. ESPN's Chris Mortenson reports that Manning

346
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: has agreed to take a four million dollar pay cut,

347
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: reducing his salary from nineteen million UH in two thousand

348
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: fifteen to fifteen million, which, uh, Greg will start with you.

349
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: You were initially under the belief that there's no way

350
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: that Peyton Manning would take a pay cut. This isn't confirmed,

351
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: this is a report, but it looks like he might

352
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: have been. Perhaps that will clear the way for some

353
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: signings for the Broncos and they could shake and Baker. Yeah,

354
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: I'm I'm eating Crow on that one. More power to

355
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning that he would do this. I expect when

356
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: we see the details that he'll be able to make

357
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: the money back in incentives. There's some sort of bonuses, pac.

358
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'll have to have a great season

359
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: or off to play stay healthy for sixteen. We'll see.

360
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we don't know the details, but more

361
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: power to him. It helps out the Bronco. It's not

362
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: like it's it's a bad move, and it makes sense

363
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: all along, and it was always unfair to me, by

364
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: the way, just as an a side that when Tom

365
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Brady signed those deals that were you know, tricky how

366
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: you actually can figure out what how much he was making,

367
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning was painted as this selfish guy. You know,

368
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: he's just getting paid. He's trying to get the paid

369
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: mostly ken. Hopefully now people give the guy respect for

370
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: taking a pay cut, did actually take less money than

371
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks. We're supposed to respect him now

372
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: because he did something in response to everyone criticizing him.

373
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: But that's that's the way. And I think Tom Brady,

374
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: tom Brady's contract is greg you were saying in the

375
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: in the cafeteria today. He ended up getting plenty of

376
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: money with his deal too. It's not like he was

377
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: still a competitive advantage for the Patriots, whereas Mannings was

378
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: not a competitive Bradys was just a little misleading and

379
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: that he did take more short term money. It's like

380
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: he got a raise on the the initial years on

381
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: the contract that was there, but then he tacked on

382
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: years where he was a total bargain. And any quarterbacks

383
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: in general are underpaid. So I don't think you can

384
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: paint paint what Peyton Manning did for Indianapolis and what

385
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: he's done for Denver. He's not made enough money, right,

386
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: So I not to mention killing him on that front,

387
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: not to mention that Papa Ginos or Papa John's commercial

388
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: he'll make up that four million and uh two creepy commercials.

389
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: To me, it's like, all right, what are your priorities?

390
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: You're thirty nine years old, You're only playing to win

391
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. You've made more money than any player

392
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: in NFL history. What are your priorities? Do you want

393
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl? Do you want to give

394
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: your team the best chance to win a super Bowl?

395
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: Then take a pick, cup Dan. You made an interesting

396
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: point though that you thought the Broncos have had Manny

397
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: over a barrel, really that they sort of had the

398
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: leverage in this situation, which was interesting that that implies

399
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: that they were ready to cut him. I think they were.

400
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: They knew that. How that's really interesting. I just want

401
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: to know more about I don't think that they were

402
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: prepared to cut him, but I think that they knew

403
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: that what could he really do? They were gonna back

404
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: him in the corner. It's like, listen, take a pay

405
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: cut man, and then his options then were to ask

406
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: for his release and start fresh at age thirty nine somewhere,

407
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: or uh not just take the money and force them

408
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: to pay him. Then you look like a selfish guy.

409
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean that. I think they were in a good

410
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: spot and Manny had no choice but to copulate. I

411
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: think John Elway is one of the most headst wrong individuals.

412
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: You had no problem moving on from Tim Tebow copulating.

413
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: Copulating would have been a weird movie. You did well,

414
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: I have the real story, that's you're you have a

415
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: great point though, on Elway. On Elway well, the copulation

416
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: we had to at least sorry, I thought maybe I

417
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: should note that. I just think it's I I do

418
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: think that the Broncos if it came to an ugly,

419
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, head to head thing, they would have moved

420
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: on from from potentially and like it's absolutely that they

421
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: would have just let him dictate the scenario at all.

422
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: If John Elway was the kind of want to stare

423
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: down like that and he was ready to move, I mean,

424
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: he really is the man I don't know he got

425
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: he got Peyton Manning to go there. He's made a

426
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: lot of gutsy moves, but but making one of the

427
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks of all time take a pay cut and

428
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: having sort of a game of chicken where they're almost

429
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: threatening to cut him at and they don't resign Julius Thomas.

430
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a little peeved about that, right. They

431
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of guys who do who else do

432
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 1: they have Ortlanta Franklin they want to give to Marius

433
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: Thomas contract, Raheem More, Terence Knight, And there's about five

434
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: or six Broncos in our top one list, which, by

435
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: the way, we've now put into a fancy new look

436
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com and you can go to NFL

437
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: dot com slash free agents. Let's check that out and populated. Uh,

438
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: moving forward, this is the news. They came down Tuesday

439
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: evening Andre Johnson or Monday evening, Andre Johnson has been

440
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: granted permission to seek a trade from the Texans. The

441
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Texans approached Johnson said, You're not gonna have the same

442
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: role in this offense anymore. You might catch forty balls

443
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: instead of eighty next year. Andrew Johnson said, what trade

444
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: me or cut me? And uh, from what we're hearing, greg,

445
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: trade is probably not gonna happen. So Andre Johnson is

446
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna end up hitting free agency finally after I feel

447
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: like we've been writing uh, Andrew Johnson's landing spot post

448
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: for two years. Mark did right when last year and

449
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: it holds up very well if you read it right now.

450
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: All the teams you put on the landing spots market

451
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: pretty much all apply. Yeah, that's what we're Yeah, we're

452
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: talking about this morning, Like for for two, two or

453
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: three years, Andrew Johnson was talking about how he wasn't

454
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: happy here here and there, and now finally this is

455
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: the end of this partnership after twelve years or whatever.

456
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: What's what? What's the last I don't know. I'm just

457
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: laughing for no reason. All right, that's good. That's good.

458
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: That's a good podcast. Uh So, Greg Mr funny Bone

459
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: explained to us where Andre Johnson fits in the NFL

460
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: landscape in two thousand fifteen. I think he'll get a

461
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: and this is sad to say because it's Brian, I

462
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: mean it's under your I think he'll get like a

463
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: Brian heartline. He'll he'll be right around the heart line

464
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: in terms of in terms of contract, which is like

465
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: what six seven million dollars a year. I think he'll

466
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: get more than Steve Smith got last year. For sure,

467
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: I think teams will look at him as a solid

468
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: legit starter. I mean there's a million teams that would

469
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: want him, right, I think only certain teams really though,

470
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: would he? Would he ever entertain going to It's got

471
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: to be a Seattle Seahawks, potentially Greg's team, the Patriots,

472
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: who Dan hates whenever he's mentioned in a free agent

473
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: but reality that's always seemed to come up up. It's

474
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: because when we talk about big names that are at

475
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the end of their career that want to win a

476
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: sup Bowl ring, there's a short list of teams. You're

477
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: not gonna take a risk and go to the Bears.

478
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: Here's one that kind of I think it's interesting. Dan's

479
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: favorite team, the San Diego Super Chart. Their borderline contender,

480
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is a great quarterback. They don't have a

481
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: number one receiver. Really, I think that might make sense

482
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: good they have some mark You have a thought on this,

483
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: don't you know? On the Seahawks. Oh, we just mentioned

484
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I was too busy looking up the charges roster.

485
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: Can you play anymore? Though? I mean there are numbers

486
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: beyond just the statistics that per target. He was one

487
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: of the least effective receivers. He was targeted almost constantly

488
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: in the red zone whenever Houston got down there. One touchdowns, Yeah,

489
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: he's never had ten touch ons and season, um, you know.

490
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: So it's just one of those things where be careful though.

491
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: If you signed Andre Johnson, I think you're getting two

492
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: thousand eight Andre Johnsons, You're not. I I think they'll

493
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: be careful of evaluating him when you know Ryan Mall

494
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tom Savage are throwing him the ball.

495
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: That kind of like Steve Smith. But I think he

496
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: has a little more juice left. And Steve Smith was

497
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: a really good pick up for the Ravens. Overall, I

498
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: think Johnson has a little more juice left than Smith

499
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: did a year even just two years ago and it

500
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: was short lived, but him in case Keenum looked good

501
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: on some of those deeps. I mean, they found a

502
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: way to get him more involved when the right quest

503
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: was in there. No, I I agree with Mark and Greg.

504
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: You have to think about the quarterbacks. And it was

505
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: his first year in Bill O'Brien system. Maybe Bill O'Brien

506
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: just didn't want to emphasize can he succeed though away

507
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: from case Keenum, that's a good question. I think you

508
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: could ask that about a lot of wide receivers. All right,

509
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about Troy Paula Malu. NFL media insider Ian

510
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Rappaport reported Wednesday that the organization the Pittsburgh Steelers believe

511
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: the celebrated safety has played his last game him uh

512
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. According to two team sources, UH, the

513
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: defender is not in the Pittsburgh's plans for two thousand

514
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: and fifteen. The only question is how the exit will

515
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: play out. Will he retire, will he be forced to

516
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: release him? And if that happens, will Troy Palmo trying

517
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: to continue his career? West is Troy Palmo, Troy Polamalu shot?

518
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: I think he is, and I think, um, we saw

519
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: that in the Ravens playoff game when he was watching

520
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: from the sidelines as Will Allen, a journeyman took his

521
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: spot on the field, and you know, and I think

522
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: he's just a liability and coverage now and it's not

523
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: his fault. He played with abandon his entire career and

524
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: his body's failing him. I don't like that the Steelers

525
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: want him to retire. I get where they're coming from.

526
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: They want to put a nice bow on this and

527
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: make it nice and neat, and he'll retire as a Steeler.

528
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: But you know, if he still wants to play, what

529
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: about Dick Lebo down in Tennessee taking him a Nike

530
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: tailor and having them come in and teach that defense.

531
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: What is it with the Steelers always like trying to

532
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: force people to retire by the way, you know, they

533
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: tried to work with Bruce Area. They tried to do

534
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: it with Bruce Arians and then were we read we

535
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: read today Ed Bouchette was they're very hopeful that Paula

536
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: Mally will retire so they don't have to release him.

537
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: But they have as many salary cap problems as any

538
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: team in the league, and the deadline to get under

539
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: it is Monday, so it seems like he's going to

540
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: be released in the meantime. Ian Ian our NFL media insider,

541
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: I referred to him that is earlier, so on second match, okay,

542
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: just call me interrap Well I hadn't mentioned it though,

543
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: So okay, I feel like I don't want to give

544
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: him his due. There is an answer to the question.

545
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: He he he thinks that Paula Mally will retire if

546
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers cut him. Basically, there's an answer to the

547
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: question you asked, why are the Steelers always trying to

548
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: do this. They're not some mega conglomerate corporation running the team.

549
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: It's a family run team and they consider this kind

550
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: of stuff valuable that his legacy would be only with

551
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm not saying it's right or wrong,

552
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: but that's why they That's good some dry cleaning operation

553
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: on the corner. I mean, how much money are they

554
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: making by now? They've has to be figuring it out.

555
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: They definitely put a lot of stock and in there

556
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: that this has only ever been in the Rooney family

557
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: and it's a family run and I think the players

558
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: know that. Don't you think they have points on Kate

559
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Morrow's acting career that that's probably dollars coming in. That's yeah,

560
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: that's a good point. And Um, finally, Randall Cobb and

561
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, this is I mean, this is crazy. Mark,

562
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: is this really gonna happen? That Cobb and the Packers

563
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: are not going to get a deal done? Uh. Cobb's

564
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: agent Jimmy Sexton has rejected the Packers offer of a

565
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: five year deal worth eight million between eight and nine

566
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: million annually, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Getting closer

567
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: to free agency where a lot of teams are gonna

568
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: be very interested in Randall Cobb. Are they're gonna botch this.

569
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: They gotta stay together. I don't know if it's a

570
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: botch because it may not be the way that they operate.

571
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: They I think they just handed a giant contract to

572
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, who they don't want to have Cobb's contract,

573
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, supersed that by a big amount. It's a

574
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: lot of money to pour into a position group. And

575
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: if Cobb, you know, he's about to hit the free

576
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: agent market and someone wants to go crazy and now

577
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: bid him. And I think Cobb knows the teams like Oakland,

578
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: Jacksonville or what he could potentially break the bank for him,

579
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: that he's not going to agree to UH Town friendly

580
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: green Bay friendly deal. I hope common sense prevails here.

581
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: They need each other. The Packers have watched uh They've

582
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: had the rate of attrition at wide receiver of the

583
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: last three years, where they've watched Donald Driver, James Jones,

584
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings and Jamichael Finley walk out the door and

585
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Jeff Janis, Jared Aberdaris, and Richard Rogers walk in?

586
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Who was after Janice? Richard Rogers, Jared Aberdaris, Jeff Janis.

587
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: That's the first Jared Aberdaris mentioned in the party. These

588
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: are the guys who were replacing legends. And if you

589
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: lose Cob on top of that, to me, your wide

590
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: receivers go from a strength to a liability. Well, let's

591
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: back off calling James Jones and Jamichael Finley legends here,

592
00:28:53,320 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean legends is Reggie mckenzieh helped guys. He may

593
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: be the one to go after Cob. Well, if you're

594
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, great, you you signed a contract for two

595
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: or three million more per year. You end up on

596
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: a team going nowhere with a quarterback who won't be

597
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: nearly as good as Aaron Rodgers, and you're the youngest

598
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: free agent on the market in another four or five years.

599
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: If you stay with Rogers, you've got a chance for

600
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: another mega contract. If you go to Jacksonville or Oakland,

601
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen to your market value. It's

602
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna be tough with for guys like Ted Thompson who

603
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: don't usually spend free agency and they want to be

604
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: fiscally responsible. Because I think just new pay scales are

605
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: going to be set this year. You have to forget

606
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: what you think Randall Cobb is worth. He's gonna make

607
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars. And if you really think Randall cops

608
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: that important to your team, I mean, the Packers are

609
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: forty million dollars under the cast. And it's like the

610
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: post that Dan wrote over the weekend on Vincent Jackson

611
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: where they didn't go for a pay cull with him,

612
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: that that kind of jacked up the wide receiver market

613
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: right there by the way. Just uh circling back to

614
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: the Payton man if the rap sheet NFL Media Insider

615
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: Ian rap report also now reporting that it's a four

616
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: million dollar paycut, and it is not clear at this

617
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: time Greg if there are any incentives to make up

618
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: that lost money. So it'll be interesting to see how

619
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: that shakes out. And I guess no one's crying for

620
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's bank account or anything. Yes, and that's what's happening. Hey, TD,

621
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: is Bucky Brooks rolled in yet he's on his way? Okay, okay,

622
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: right there he is by the way. All right, so

623
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: we have a couple of minutes. By the way, you said,

624
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: this is a big podcast for Mark, Greg, where do

625
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: you stand. I think Mark has been doing an incredible

626
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: job at everything so too, I don't think so he's

627
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: you don't think you're doing well. You're asking him a lot.

628
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: You said you want him to carry this show. I

629
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: wrote that down. I don't know. Mark says he doesn't

630
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: know where it was coming from, and I don't either.

631
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: I just it's good to be random, keep keep people

632
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: on their toes. I also threatened to stab you at

633
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: the Plastic Fork earlier at the London at the huddle

634
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: today thinking and I could give you a ticket to HR.

635
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: So the record, I want to keep that on the

636
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: down low. Well, while we wait for Bucky, why don't

637
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: we just move on to our next segment, And we

638
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: talked about Greg's big time free agency rollout um session

639
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: that is all over the website right now. Uh. Well,

640
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about the biggest team needs in free agency

641
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: and we'll break this down into two categories, just the

642
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: biggest overall needs and we all each of us for

643
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL group wrote one that jumped out

644
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: to us. Uh, and then also one the need that's

645
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: under the radar, so maybe nothing. You know, when they

646
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: say under the radar, Greg, I mean you know, and

647
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm not right on the surface obvious, not obscure necessarily,

648
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: just under the radar. So we'll go through those. So

649
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: why don't we start, gentlemen, Chris Westling, you are the scientists.

650
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna throw it to you to get going here.

651
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: You actually, because you do, you have to you here, Wes, No,

652
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 1: you have just have one, all right? So your biggest

653
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: need that you see right now for a team Tampa

654
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers offensive line, which was the worst in the

655
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: NFL last year, and they're set to release Anthony Collins

656
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: if they can't find a taker for him. Per NFL

657
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: media insider Ian Rappaport, that will well, as he should.

658
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: That will leave the blind side wide open for the

659
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: number one overall draft pick at quarterback if it's Jameis Winston.

660
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: So you've got no left tackle, you don't have a

661
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: right guard, and you had the worst offensive line in

662
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: the NFL last year. You can't put a quarterback behind

663
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: that offensive line. And unfortunately, there are no great left

664
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: tackles in free agency this year. So what are they

665
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna do? Uh, maybe try to shoehorn Brian Bulaga in there.

666
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, Orlando Franklin, Doug Free those are not

667
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: attractive options. That's quite a major need. Mark Sessler. I

668
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: look to Cleveland in the wide receiver position and I

669
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: think it's it's It puts a lot of pre sure

670
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: on Ray Farmer, the general manager, because last year he

671
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: went into the pre jaft process squawking about how teams

672
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: like the Seattle Seahawks don't need to draft wide receivers high,

673
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: and that he held it that same philosophy. And then Cleveland,

674
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, with the first round that they had decided

675
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: to pass up the greatest wide receiver draft in many

676
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: many years. I didn't even think about that. So there's

677
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: another good draft, but there's also a good crop of

678
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So you know, outside of the concept of

679
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: growing your own talent, they need to they need to

680
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: get better at this position right away. And it's uninspiring

681
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: for Browns fans that out of the gate to talking

682
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: to Brian Heartline that if he's going to be a

683
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: starter in Cleveland, that's that's as hard as selling Matt

684
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: Castle to the Buffalo Bills. You've got to do more

685
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: than that, and they've got to they have two number

686
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: one picks. Again, one of those has to be a

687
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Heartline is okay as a rotation E player

688
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: as long as it all depends on the contract. If

689
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: he's their third or s and the quarterback going to

690
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: get to work up. Your goal is not to make

691
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: plays Brian Heartline, as you're I mean, what is their

692
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: first round by the way, twelve twelve, So you might

693
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: be able to get one of those three. You know,

694
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: DJ really loves DeVante Parker. He's been linked to them

695
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: multiple mock draft Parker. I like that Brian heartlinees um

696
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: splits the season where some of the worst split you'll

697
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: ever see from a wide receiver I think was sixteen

698
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: games West. Can you help me with those sixteen games?

699
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: I think less than five hundred yards yards he has averaged.

700
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: He's played six years, He's averaged two touchdowns per year

701
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: as an NFL starter. That's not getting it done. It's

702
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: not a good fit for that offense. I take back

703
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: what I said. You don't want to sign Brian Hartland,

704
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: not just because of everything you said here, but because

705
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: how much. If you're going to spend money in free agency,

706
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: this is a good year to get someone that's a

707
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: legit player. Don't aim for the middle because you're not

708
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna sign heartline and the top of they have like

709
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: sixty million exactly, this is the year to do it.

710
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: They could draft someone, get someone, got Howkins in the middle,

711
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: and then you're good. Let me throw out one need

712
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: The Chargers need running back. Uh. Philip Rivers through the

713
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: wall a lot last year and he got hit a

714
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: lot last year. And he's still a very effective quarterback

715
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: at great quarterback, but you need to give him some help.

716
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: And Ryan Matthews, you know, he had the one really

717
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: good year, but he's always hurt. He's a free agent now.

718
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: I think gotta let him go out the door and

719
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: go get a running back that you could put behind

720
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers that you can count on. And as we know,

721
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: this is a nice little year for some running backs

722
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: in the fold. I I liked the idea and I

723
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: made a point of it in our write up that

724
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: I thought the Cowboys did a really nice job protecting

725
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: Romo another thirty Southern quarterback with de Marco Murray, Marco Murray.

726
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: But maybe he goes to San Diego and he becomes

727
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers security blanket. That's my I think there's been

728
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: some worry from the DeMarco Murray camp. Maybe maybe what

729
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: this market's gonna look like for him, that he's such

730
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: a star, but are they really gonna be able to

731
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: get him a star like contract? But then you think

732
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: about the teams that could be out there looking for

733
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: a starting running back San Diego, Indian Polus, maybe even Philadelphia.

734
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna want to spend a

735
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: lot of money Arizona. I mean, these are teams that

736
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: could really use a between the tackles guy that would

737
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: be a great fit. I'd love to see the Chargers,

738
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: who we didn't really enjoy as the team of around

739
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. I didn't. I'd still like them to bounce

740
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: back and kind of be that next you know, they'll

741
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: live up to it a year later, kind of like

742
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 1: are making the leap. Guys are always good. Two years later,

743
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: maybe they'll be more fun. They were most attractive two

744
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: seasons ago down the stretch when they were running the

745
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: ball forty times a game down people's throats, they knocked

746
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: off the Broncos in prime time by doing that, that's

747
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: when Matthews was excellent. They've got to get someone back

748
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: in the right. Dan, by the way, I love, I

749
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: would like to sign Ryan Matthews. Would I would like

750
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: the Patriots to sign him. Well, I'm sure you'll get him.

751
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: Get rid of La Garret, get rid of La Garrett Blunt.

752
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: You know that was nice. Get Ryan Matthews in there.

753
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: Then bring Blunt back in next December again exactly. I mean,

754
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: come on, it's just like you're just gonna get everybody

755
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: you want and then they're all gonna revert back to

756
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: their greatest form. You guys, act, it's not the people

757
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: have rivus on the brain. They It's not like they've

758
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: signed many. Climb right back up to your throne of

759
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: ease as the as the minstrels play. I do know

760
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: that fed directly into the the harp is strum gently.

761
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: I do know that we are living on a throne

762
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: of ease. When I was texting with another Patriots fan

763
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: today and we were talking about how we kind of

764
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: enjoy Rex and Buffalo kind of loading up like this

765
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: because it makes it more fun. You guys should all

766
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: be in jail. It does make it all fun. Is great,

767
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: have nothing to worry about. They just traded for mac Castle.

768
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: You should be sent to Australia like the British one.

769
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: This is why Greg loves the Castle signing. Yeah, just

770
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: simply removes an a FCS contender, all right under the

771
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: radar needs So I don't know, I don't get to

772
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: throw any need out there. You just you just went

773
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. I thought you used yours up with your

774
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: Matthew seeds. But go ahead, Oh it's okay. I was

775
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna just do the most obvious, you know, kind of

776
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: like Brown's receiver Chiefs receiver, kind of overly obvious. I

777
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: actually had a contest at the desk the other day

778
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: if anyone could name who had the second most amount

779
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: of snaps that wide receiver for the Chiefs last year.

780
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: Chris Westling got the right answer. Stunner. Already forget the

781
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: answer because it was so junior. Hemingway two hundred and

782
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: sixty snaps was second on the team, and two hundred

783
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: and sixty yards by Albert Wilson was second on the team.

784
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: And you're probably gonna cut the guy who was number

785
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: one on the team Dwayne Bow So that's pretty Greg

786
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: was really surprised that West knew that. But then he's

787
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: forgetting that West as a toaster legend t D. Everything

788
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: going good over on that front at Producer TV hashtag

789
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: w WT we need three to four hardcore contesting. Yeah,

790
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: how's Bucky doing? By the way, is he gonna make it? Okay?

791
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: So it might be too late. A lot of podcasts

792
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: on him. He's like the podcast for Agent right now.

793
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: This is this is kind of like his rock star move.

794
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: And you know it's where twenty one minutes past as

795
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: a scheduled arrival times the way to get him decide,

796
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: Bucky know that we just passed ten million podcasts with

797
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: this episode. I mean, is that the type of podcast

798
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: you want to let him know when he gets here?

799
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: Under the radar needs and I don't know if I

800
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: discussed this earlier, Greg, you have you have, you have

801
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: your obvious needs, and then you have your other types

802
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: of needs that are way under the service, right under

803
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: that radar. You went way under the rate waiter with yours.

804
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: I went pretty far into the raid. But let's start

805
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: took it. You took it, alright? I like, I'm just

806
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: looking at the Chicago Bears every since Earl Bennett left

807
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: down the Chicago Wait, why are you laughing at me?

808
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: You don't like Mark Marcus Wilson. I guess look at

809
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears who have two tall wide receivers but

810
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: somehow still have a limited offense. And I guess you

811
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: could say Jay color stinks, but a lot of people

812
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: seem to think Jay Cutler is a good guy. How

813
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: about you get somebody, a slot guy that could go

814
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: underneath and really open that offense wide open. And if

815
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: you get one guy that makes everything connected dots, that

816
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: offense can go from the middle of the pack unit

817
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 1: to top three. In my opinion with Matt Forte, they're

818
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: also if if this new coaching staff can finally tam

819
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: j Cutler. Although I'm not necessarily holding my breath on

820
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: that little Randall Cobb you steal that you want a

821
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: short receiver under the radar. I mean, listen when when

822
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: you're I'm getting bullied by dorky scientists football scientists that

823
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think it's crazy because Marshall

824
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: be out of there. You put Marcus Wilson in as

825
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: a starter, and you need a slot guy. Um, so

826
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: screw you guys. Who's next? Well, I'll try to not

827
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: getting ripped to shreds uh. Well, I feel like everything's

828
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: not under the radar because all we do all day

829
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: long as just read this nonsense from every team. But

830
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm going Oakland pass rushers, you know, and actually it's

831
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: kind of a burning need. You've got Khalil mac in

832
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: your front seven, who was outstanding last season. But Reggie

833
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: mc henzie, we talked about this earlier on the show,

834
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: already in the process of getting rid of the free

835
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: agent bounty he picked up last year because there were

836
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of whiffs. One of them,

837
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Wood Lee. He's out of the building, justin Tuck,

838
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: the two of them. You know, all this offseason nonsense

839
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: about how they've brought these veterans in and this defense

840
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be edgy. Twenty two sacks a franchise low

841
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: last season. You gotta get some young guys to rush

842
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: the passer. But I'm gonna say, Mark, I'm not I

843
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: will never laugh at your thing, because I think that's rude.

844
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't call this under the radar. I feel

845
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: like Dan, I'm the only room that did not dig

846
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: my claws into you as your football analysis was unleashed

847
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: two minutes ago. And your move is to turn around

848
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: sacks sacks don't move, is to turn around and be

849
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: that guy. Well, it's difference between taking criticism and being

850
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: laughed at. That's all I'm saying. I'm just saying obvious

851
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: need for them, not under the radar. You failed. I'm

852
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: sorry that a lot of people are talking about the Raiders,

853
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: but that's probably just in general. I guess alright, I'm

854
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: just hitting out now. Mark don't don't know it's it's evident,

855
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, whatever you say is wrong, but go ahead. Well,

856
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: I think it's evident that the Titans need a quarterback,

857
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 1: but their fans are under the delusion that Zach Mettenberger

858
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: is the answer, and they are joined by several high

859
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: octane football analysts who believe Mettenberger is some kind of

860
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, even though he couldn't finish his last year

861
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: at l s U, couldn't finish his rookie season, and

862
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: frankly couldn't move the offense when he was under center.

863
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: If they, like Marcus Mariota, would be foolish to pass

864
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: on him. Quarterback is a major need for the Titans

865
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: at the combine, though it's sure sound like it was

866
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: in Hunt at coach and also Rust and Webster, who

867
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: is Mr or Excitement by the way at GM they

868
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: both paid. It sound like a they really really do

869
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: just want a quarterback at number two, that it was

870
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: an opportunity that might not come again, or be they're

871
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: openly inviting teams to think that so they'll come up

872
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: and trade with them. I think it's that second part

873
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: which is weird, because Zach Mettenberger is their starter. They'll

874
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: they're probably I'm looking at who's gonna sign Ark Sanchez?

875
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think there's many options out there.

876
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 1: Titans are kind of the rough riders, the one team

877
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: that still need a one B starter option, right, they do,

878
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: but that's how they see it at least one. All right, Greg, Finally,

879
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: well we get closed with a bang. You know, but

880
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore might have won two Super Bowls in three years

881
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: if they had a better secondary. You got uh Anthony

882
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: Levine and Rashaan Melvin playing big time snaps in a

883
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: game where they outplayed the Super Bowl champion Patriots. Uh

884
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: Darius web might have to be cut because he's paid

885
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Jimmy Smith's coming off a thing.

886
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: They have no safety, So get some coming off, get

887
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: some defensive acts. What he's coming off a thing like that?

888
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: The line was under the radar? Not under the radar? No,

889
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: that was cool. I thought Greg's was great coming off

890
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: a thing. What is it torn achilles? I was trying

891
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: to remember Cliss Frank surgery. That's it. Those were the

892
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: under the radar. Wow, what the tension in the room. Not.

893
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't like to do laughed at exactly. I thought

894
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: that was rude. I apologize for laughing at you, Dan,

895
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: I didn't drop a tweedlede and tweedle dumb today. I

896
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: don't apologize for not laughing at you. I don't know

897
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: why you went after me Mark on this. I wasn't

898
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: really like I'm the one that didn't go after I know,

899
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: but I wasn't attacking you when I just just saying

900
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: that maybe that wasn't under the radar. I stopped listening

901
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: like ten seconds. I stand by everything I said. I

902
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: demand what's going on? Bucky Brooks. By the way, that's

903
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: a better heat dropped than the actual heat. All right,

904
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: we'll we'll make that same Bucky is taping NFO now

905
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: right now, so he said, and um, we're taping here.

906
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: It's a guys like Howard here. Well, we'll figure out

907
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: when we have Bucky on next alright, apologize, apologies to

908
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: the listeners who were expecting Bucky. Maybe we'll get him

909
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: in later this week, maybe down the line. Let's be honest.

910
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: We just filled up a whole show anyways. Yeah, and

911
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: it was awesome. Oh and and let's and save your

912
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: tweets about us arguing with each other. We all like

913
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,800

941
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: little too clubby. It's a bit of a low grade recording.

942

944
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of gets you fired up, then have to have

945
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: the word celebrating it. Why can't it be like a

946
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,520
