00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast thinks s darn will really

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: take off. Welcome to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis, and I'm joined

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: in a room filled with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Wesley,

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: and Gregg Rose with all what is up? Boys? Hey? Dan?

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: M M. Friday. We've made it to the end of

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: the yellow brick road. Mark, It's a new day. Is

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: it starting to sink in a little bit more? Uh?

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Is what's starting to sink in? Are you serious well

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be covering the Browns at the Super Bowl?

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: The Browns? Where is it? Miami? So it's like Browns,

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: It's like the playoff field is set with the Browns

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: and eleven other teams. It is starting to sink in.

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: But I want to after I want to make it

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: very clear that if the Browns make the Super Bowl,

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: I will not be working that day. I will be there,

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: but I will be a I will be a human being,

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: running full speed ahead in the stands, doing what I

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: want to do. Right. I mean, it seems comical the

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: thought of the Jets being in the Super Bowl, But

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: if if that ever happened, I'm already on record, I'm

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: not working either. I would do a cameo on the

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: show if they won. Yeah, can we call you? Yes? No,

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: there would be absolutely that, But I did not appear

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: in the an event of a loss. But this is

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: all great problems. The idea of oh, the Browns losing

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? What a what a horrible thing that

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: would be? That mean you made the big game? Say

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: that that's giving up on you know, your team, not

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the Jets, are the Browns, but the team in this

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: room in what could be like the most rewarding moment

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: for the listener. I mean I definitely would rather be

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: cramped in one of those auxiliary press boxes where you

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: can't move your knees. They give you like a ham

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: sandwich wrapped in plastic in a stale cookie, instead of

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: enjoying the full experience that I've waited forty plus years

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: to enjoy. It's made as a Patrons fan, Greg. The

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: idea of the Patriots being insuscerabwl isn't even special at

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: this point. The idea the Browns or the Jets, that's

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: almost like it's impossible. I had to do. Ben't sing

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: three on each side? Now if they made a second

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: I would, I would go back to my media duties.

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: If the Bengals make the Super Bowl, you back in?

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Would you get back in? Laughing? You don't think that,

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Bobby Heart Uh John Miller Combo is going to pre

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: Let's let's start with winning a playoff game first. Um ah,

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: gun rack. There's a couple of things real quick. One

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: to hit. Number one related to Odell Beckham going to

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and the blockbuster trade of the year

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: maybe the decade. Um. A person on Twitter reminded me

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: of this, and I wish I remember their handle. But

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: you know who you are. Jake Glazer nailed it, Oh yeah,

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: in his mail bag, and we were, let's face it,

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: we were dismissive of it. You were we We were

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: in it all in facts editing. I was trying to

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: save you. You You were the one that said, let's not

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: talk about this anymore. I was trying to be I

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: was using the royal we. I was saying, if Glaziers

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: putting in there, it's it's I mean, Glazer is a

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: little different. That's what I said. Different. Cat Well, I think, well,

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm the guilty party who said if you look at

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: the context, he was just asked a question, right, And

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: when we at the combine, when Gettleman made his infamous

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: comment that we didn't sign Odell Beckham to trade him,

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: we were all kind of exhausted and put a moratorium

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: on talking about it anymore. It's right, but Jay Glazer

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: in a mail bag, mark is right in a mail bag,

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: tossed off that that could be a trade that would

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: shock people. I mean part of it was, I think

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: what Greg's referring to, because you do the mail bag

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: here at NFL dot com, a little mail bag on

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: mail bag heat, and I would just say, as a

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: challenge to you, as a friendly challenge, you have a

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: little bit of work to do in your next mail

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: bag to get sort of back onto par with what

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: It's the same way that Phil Simmons feels about hands us.

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: He was like, I was the mail bag guy. Don't

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: come on my corner. I don't like it. No Glazer

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: forever has my respect in the mail bag game. After that. Uh.

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: The other thing is we've talked about this on the podcast,

81
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and this is much far more esoteric, but that we

82
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: had the big mural outside at NFL Media headquarters and

83
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: we've been wondering for a long time. There's eight players

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: on the wall, um and we were saying, who is

85
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna be the first guy? It's gonna mess up the mural?

86
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: And J. J. Watt, Josh Norman, Aaron Rodgers, Von Miller,

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, Pat Peterson, Cam Newton and Antonio Brown bosses

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: inside the build shot on a on a on a

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: mural like place that it was never completed. It seems

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: like it's a great question, Dan, because we are moving

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: out of this building in two it's official. You can

92
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: now go into a room in the NFL dot Com

93
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: build waste office space where you can look at the

94
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: plans for the building we're moving into. So do they

95
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: even bother to fix it up? Are they they just

96
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: like kind of do it like a cheap version where

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: they just like right oak over the top of is like,

98
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: like why even bother fixing a question? Money into that

99
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: painter was here from months. You gotta get him back,

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: all right, jer Goodell, tear down that wall. Politics nailed

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: it for the political show, all right, save it for

102
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: the glass nost show, big show coming up. I don't

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. What's glass lost? What

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: wasn't it gorbage chows program to sort of like a

105
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: post Soviet reclamation project. I could be totally wrong about that,

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: but it was something like it was about the Berlin

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: Wall though, but it was Gorba chof and post you know,

108
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: iron curtain garbageof not getting a lot of pop these days,

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: considering like the massive figure he was at the time,

110
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he's just been a

111
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: little lost. Stuff has happened. Used to be a big,

112
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: big all right, coming up on today's show. We talked

113
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: about it on Wednesday that it was coming, so we'll

114
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: do it at the end of the show. Some over

115
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: unders for new uh players, uh players and new places,

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: old faces, new places. Uh. But we got some more

117
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: news to get to because this is the end of

118
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: free agency week. It is winding down in terms of

119
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: the hot and heavy action, but there's still important moves

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: being made. So we're gonna go spend through it all.

121
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: But we will start with a band another word for suspension.

122
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Let's get to the news. I know Dan han zeus

123
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: Jets fan number one in our building from the Around

124
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast, was just crying at his desk. Shout

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: out to Greg. I was not watching NFL network at

126
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: the time, but in a live interview with Anthony Barr,

127
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: uh the linebacker who agreed to join the Jets and

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: went back to the Vikings, Sin said he was crying

129
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: after he made the initials and um Andrew said that

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: to Anthony Barr, which I speaking of sterk. I imagine

131
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr did not know what the hell that was. Yeah, well,

132
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: what was his response? He seemed confused but or a

133
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: little uncomfortable by the whole interview, because I gotta say, Andrew,

134
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, pushed pretty hard on the whole decision, and uh,

135
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: he felt bad. He said it was one of the

136
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: worst days of his life. I think he ultimately wishes

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: he could have just been celebrating this great new deal

138
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. But it's like there's all these awkward

139
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: questions where he said he was literally kind of sick

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: to him, like when he said it, he started getting

141
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: the cold sweats and just felt like, oh my gosh,

142
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: I made this mistake. Also called the Jets. Had he

143
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: gone to the Jets akin to marrying the wrong woman,

144
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: which I found a little bit a little bit strong.

145
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: We didn't need to that. They were willing to offer

146
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: you a lot of money. You know, well, you know what,

147
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: he made the right move. Though as annoying it as

148
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: it was. Uh, if you were having second dots at

149
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: that level, you go back to where you came. And

150
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: like I said, and gar Folo on our UM Free

151
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Agency Live show this week, UM I asked him if

152
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: the Jets signed Bar, would they have not gotten Levy

153
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: on Bell? Gar Folo said that he thinks it's still

154
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: would have happened. But there's no doubt that Bar spurning

155
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: them and leaving all that money in their piggy bank

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: led to the Jets kind of going harder after Bell.

157
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: So I think it's okay in the end, I'm not

158
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: upset about I did not cry, but it was a

159
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: good bit. I mean, the only way to get paid

160
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: is to threaten your current employer that you're gonna leave. Well,

161
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: he's a rare guy, though, that took less money. I mean,

162
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, that's I mean, I think

163
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't right now, you're right, but

164
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 1: this is a rare case where he took less money.

165
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen too often in the NFL. And I

166
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: don't think it was like the Vikings stepped up and

167
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: gave him a great contract. But he you know, he

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: took less night. Might have been the Greg Williams factor.

169
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: You never know. All right, let's start with the band.

170
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: The Browns um the former employer of Greg Williams. They

171
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: know how long Kareem Hunt's going to be out. The

172
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: running back UH is out eight games, violating the NFL

173
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: Personal Conduct Policy. The league announced this on Friday. Hunt

174
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: has accepted the punishment and does not plan to appeal. UH.

175
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: He released a stat statement saying he apologizes for what happened.

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: What did happen? The Chiefs cut him in late November

177
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: after a video surface of the running back shoving and

178
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: kicking a woman during a February two thousand eighteen incident

179
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: at a Cleveland hotel. The message being put out by

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: the Browns this whole time has been we're supporting Kareem,

181
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: We're working with him toward a second chance. Well now

182
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: we know when he comes back. Mark, when he does

183
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: come back, if he could stay on the um, straight

184
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: and narrow, he will be another big addition to that office.

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: It's still feels to me like the one off note

186
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: of what has been a big offseason for them, where

187
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: I I get it that someone like Cream Hunt was

188
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: going to get a chance somewhere, Um, because he's just

189
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: talented enough. But you could have kept him out for

190
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: the entire year and found out where he was personally

191
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: next off season two. That would have been fine with me. Um.

192
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: From the football side, there's been all this uh whispering

193
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: is about Duke Johnson being openly available in a trade

194
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: because he's the odd man out. If they do use

195
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt, I my question would be if it keeps,

196
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: if it spurns them to keep him around, because then

197
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: you're one injury away from having nothing in the backfield

198
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: well and there, and it's a risk. I mean, it's

199
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: scheduled for eight games. You would assume that's what it is.

200
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: But the Browns have been through this in a in

201
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: a very different circumstance where you never you never know

202
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: because this wasn't for one incident. That's why it wasn't

203
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: six games. It was for two incidents. The NFL made

204
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: that clear. And you're right, it is the one off

205
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: note because this whole time, it's kind of awkward. This

206
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: week when everyone's like and everyone's gonna be so excited

207
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: for this Brown's off and Sodell Beckham. You know David

208
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: and Joki Kareem Hunt, and it's just like like it

209
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: doesn't feel something strange about just kind of throwing Hunt

210
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: into that mix right now. They could have I think

211
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: the end all NFL teams could have waited for this

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: suspension to go down, but the Browns couldn't wait to

213
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: sign him. They started this automatic six week thing a

214
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: few years ago, and we're still getting six weeks suspensions.

215
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: To me, that's not enough of a deterrent. The rate

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: should be zero percent. Make it a full year suspension.

217
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: I think I like that. Let's move on Teddy Bridgewater.

218
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: On our Wednesday show, we talked about it. He uh

219
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: looked like he was going back to the Saints. James later,

220
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: our own Jane's Leader reported that it was going to

221
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: happen and the deal was in place. Uh. Teddy got

222
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: cold feet. He met with the Dolphins, but at the

223
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, he ends up sticking with New

224
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, who signed the quarterback to a one year

225
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: deal worth seven to seven point to five million, fully guaranteed.

226
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Rap Sheet reported uh maximum value of twelve five. Uh.

227
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: You would imagine he'd have to get on the field

228
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: and play a lot in which would mean a Drew

229
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Brees injury, but seven point to five guaranteed as a

230
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: backup is very good money. Bridgewater remains. I suppose uh

231
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: the next in line New Orleans potentially if Drew Brees

232
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: walks away, he is forty years old. Mark Ultimately is

233
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: this a good signing for the Saints. Well, I've talked

234
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: about my feelings. I mean, I think Wes Ultimately uh

235
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: is correct on how he felt. Teddy Bridgewater viewed the

236
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: situation that it was a better way to keep his

237
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: career moving in an upward trajrectory, to be with a

238
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: team where he had a very good experience there and

239
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: to continue I'll say one more time that it would

240
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: I would rather see a player get back on the

241
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: field and play together have a better chance to the

242
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: long term contract. But the Dolphins are a weird uh

243
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: landing spot. So I totally think Teddy did what was

244
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: right for him, and the Saints are a great situation

245
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: if you have a chance to take over for Drew Brides.

246
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: There was one thing out there. There were there was

247
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: reports that Teddy Bridgewater was hesitant to sign with the

248
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Saints because of whispers that Sean Payton is basically tied

249
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: up to take the Cowboys job next year. Uh, and

250
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: it's a one year contract. I mean, the air apparent thinks, great,

251
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: he's got a foot in the door. He can learn

252
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: that system. But it's not like the Saints are like

253
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: closing off their mind to drafting young quarterbacks. I don't

254
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: think because Teddy Bridgewater is there. The most fascinating thing

255
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: to me, though, is what's Wrian Tannehill doing? Because Teddy

256
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: Bridgewater said he would. There was a report from ESPN

257
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: he would have gone to Miami if they offered him

258
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: quote unquote life changing money. Essentially, I would bet starting right,

259
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: so like start so that that's like a tanking tax, right.

260
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: And so Ryan Tannehill still on the roster, and the

261
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Miami Herald reported way back in December they're not keeping him.

262
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: I think Ryan Tannehill is the most likely guy now

263
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to be the Week one starting quarterback. I did check

264
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: with our insiders on did you get an apology? Country?

265
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think so, because at this point,

266
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: if you cut him, you're eating like thirteen million dollars

267
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: in dead money. Anyways, And yeah, he's gonna be on

268
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: your tax, for on your cap, for a lot. But

269
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: it's like, at this point, would you rather cut Ryan Tannehill,

270
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: eat a bunch of dead money and start Blake Bordles

271
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: or just like keep Tannehill because relationship at this point,

272
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: I you wonder if it's fractured and they need a

273
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: fresh start. But he's on the roster, so that tells

274
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: me there that they're considering it. It's an option. He's

275
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: not Listen, Ryan Tannhill is not a terrible quarterback. And

276
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: if he's a and he's a perfectly fun bridge guy,

277
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: in fact, probably maybe the best in the league if

278
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: you're looking at that time. I'd rather have Ryan Tannehill

279
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: than Eli Manning as a bridge guy to a rookie.

280
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: So it makes sense. It just matter. It's just a

281
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: question of whether the new coaching staff wants Tannehill in

282
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: the build. And but one thing is I read, you know,

283
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: think about oh, the seventh year quarterback is about us? Like, wait,

284
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: he's not been in the league for seven years? Said

285
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: yes he has. And I thought, name one memorable Ryan

286
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Tannehill moment that would lead his highlight film. I cannot

287
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: think of one. The way I used to feel about

288
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Stamp probably had the Miami miracle. It's not that is

289
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: not a miracle. He's Kenyan, but he was on the

290
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: field for that, right, But he's not. But he's he

291
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: What did he do? I remember this game is rookie

292
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Air against I remember this game is rookie Air against

293
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. And I think I've held onto this

294
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: memory for way too long where it was like he

295
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: went up and down the field with like a Nick

296
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Foles Super Bowl type performance, not on a great Cardinals team,

297
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, Ryan Tannehill is the future.

298
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: So that's my moment. My memory is five years worth

299
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: of Dolphins fans telling me he was better than Andrew Luck.

300
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: That wasn't alright. Moving on, that's a thirty one. He

301
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: came into the league kind of old. Moving on, The

302
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: Giants have their Odell Beckham Jr. Replacement. Oh, poor Giants fans.

303
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: That's a real thing we're talking about right now. And

304
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: it's Golden Tate who signs a four year, thirty seven

305
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: and a half million dollar deal to only three million

306
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed rap sheet reported. According to West and Greg's List,

307
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: this was the top wide out on the available free

308
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: agent list. Uh, and last year he split between Detroit

309
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: and Philly. He was a production machine with the Lions.

310
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: He got moved to phil He kind of disappeared in

311
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: that offense. Had a big touchdown in the playoffs, but

312
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: other than that did not really make the impact. Uh.

313
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: The Giants now Greg bring in a receiver at thirty

314
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: years old. Uh. It doesn't seem to fit in with

315
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: where this franchise is headed, but it does add somebody,

316
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: and they didn't need somebody with Sterling Shepherd. I I

317
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: don't understand all the criticism the Giants took for this

318
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: particular deal, like it, I get it, but everyone immediately

319
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: was like, what's the planner? What? They're not tanking? First

320
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: of all, if you thought they were tanking, you're not

321
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: paying attention. No one almost no one tanks. They're trying

322
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: to win. This was a wide receiver who we had

323
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: ranked number one. The contracts like a little more than

324
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: I expected at this in free agency, but it's not

325
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: much more than Adam Humphries or Jamison Crowder. I think

326
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: you can criticize a million other parts of this process

327
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: and other moves that they've made, but they do have

328
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: a pretty decent group of weapons. I mean Golden Tate,

329
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, Sae Kwon, Barkley, Sterling Shepherd is a nice

330
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: group of weapons. Whether whether I know, you know, if

331
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: you want to be a hater to get Dave Gottleman,

332
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: I totally get it. But this contract to me makes

333
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: them better. I got no doubt with it. So they

334
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: totally conceded outside the numbers in downfield to Eli Manning's

335
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: arm right now, you would love, you would love to

336
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: have a vertical threat. Yes they're they're only proven receivers

337
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: or slot receivers, right, but the Patriots have you know,

338
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of done that for for years. This I know,

339
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, adding Golden Tate to me doesn't

340
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: isn't a bad thing, I I would, you know, on

341
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: its own, it's fine, you know, And and had the

342
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham thing that happened, and you add someone like

343
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: Golden Tate even more so. But it's it's more like

344
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: the pr mess that the Giants can't get to navigate

345
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: for the first time in their franchise history three years running,

346
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: where it's just another thing that when you put the

347
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: whole ugly soup together, Giants fans are like, why am

348
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: I excited about next season or any season we'll get

349
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: Himan's desperate to be right, you know, they're desperate to

350
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: win nine Like I think this is a team that's

351
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: hoping they can somehow find a way to nine wins.

352
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: No one thinks they're winning a super Bowl. But he

353
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: loved for Eli Manning to have a decent enough season

354
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: and he's got a good enough players around him out

355
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: That is a horrendous plan. Hoping for nine wins with

356
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: an ugly, ugly expansion roster. It's a bad week to

357
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: be a Giants fan. Uh. Speaking of Dave gettleman Um,

358
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: he made a big move back in his Panther's day

359
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: days to bring in Matt Khalil. Uh I signed a

360
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: five year, fifty five million dollar contract. I think it

361
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: was one of the last big deals get him on

362
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: handed out Panthers days. It didn't work out at all.

363
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: Uh And after spending the entire seasoneen on I r

364
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. Uh Khalil, the left tackle was

365
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: released rap sheet first report of the transaction. So he

366
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: got he made a lot of money, did not do

367
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: a lot and now he's on the Street and the

368
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: Panthers still looking for help on the line. This was

369
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: a bad signing Matt Khalil. What they get one year

370
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: out of him and one bad year. That was one

371
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: that everyone first guest, you know, because he was a

372
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: pretty bad tackle in Minnesota overted the the tackle free

373
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: agency situation hasn't really changed over the last couple of years.

374
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Offensive lineman just get insane money and free agency, and

375
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: it seems like in most best case scenarios they're fine,

376
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: and then in worst case scenarios there Matt Khalil, I mean,

377
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: he was a disappointment with Minnesota. That's why it was

378
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: first guest. He was I think a top five draft pick,

379
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: was in that range when he came into the league,

380
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: and immediately he didn't really play at that level. But

381
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: sometimes I guess in this league, especially when you got

382
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: that funny money, just the pedigree and maybe some good tape,

383
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: you could talk yourself into, oh we can make this

384
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: guy um a stud on the line. But in this

385
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: case it did. They had line issues for a long

386
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: time too. It's like they were one of those candidates

387
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: to overspend, and like, I think it's just that where

388
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: will football be in twenty years from now when you

389
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: don't have like these farm fed, like gigantic people that

390
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: want to play you. No. I just I just think that,

391
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: like in general, the toughness factor of people is lowering,

392
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and that is going to impact someone that's asked to

393
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: play through knee problems for twelve years and take hits

394
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: from gigantic people versus becoming, um, you know, a hedge fund.

395
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: So individual better this week though, Matt Parrotis and Darry

396
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: Williams on the offensive line for pretty good cheap money.

397
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: I think so in this era Mark where the rich,

398
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: the elite our our Greece in the palms of people

399
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: to get their idiot children into high level institutions, higher learning. Uh,

400
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: this is the world you speak of. That it is

401
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: a slice of the of the cake that I speak

402
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The NFL has always drawn most

403
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: of their players from different types of people. I mean,

404
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: it's always been an opportunity to escape, uh, the life

405
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: that you're growing up. That was true in the fifties, sixties, seventies,

406
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: it's true today and there's more right, there's more inequality

407
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: now than there's ever been. I'm not saying that my

408
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: theory is rock solid. But it's just in general that

409
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I like your theory. I just think that offensive lineman

410
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: seemed to be like on the college level and the

411
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: pro level, it's hard and harder to find these people.

412
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: Do you also believe that the children are using iPad

413
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: type devices too often playing those video games into that

414
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: heavy metal? Do we have no long heavy metals the

415
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: iPad when like kids at five and six are using iPads,

416
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: we have no long term study on what that becomes

417
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: when they are get out there, push a sled, build

418
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: your lower body right, getting the gym. I don't know

419
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: want the gym. Just run around nature. It's not like

420
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: you can get a paper round anymore. Right, Any five

421
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: year olds that have iPads weren't generally the ones becoming

422
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: offensive would have been the type to become offensive linemen

423
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Anyways, I don't know that is. That

424
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: is as much of an assumption as every part of

425
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: my arguments, and how dismissive Gregg's being of what I

426
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: is a real thought provoking take on America. It's it's

427
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: just more of a question than a fact. I'm asking

428
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: a question. Will this Will football be changed by this

429
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: utter lack of toughness in human beings in America. Moving on,

430
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, He's got it tough in America. You know,

431
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: got a job no more because with Nick Foles installed

432
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: as the franchise quarterback in Duval County with the Jaguars,

433
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: bortles tenure with Jacksonville's over, they officially part ways as

434
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: the new league year kicked in and falls his contract

435
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: became official. Of course, another high high draft pick once

436
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: upon a time, third overall nearly got to the Super

437
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: Bowl a couple of years ago, and it led to

438
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: a um a terribly misguided contract extension last year at

439
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin defended and said he doesn't regret and doesn't

440
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: think he made a mistake the ELI this week, Tom,

441
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: take these giants, executives and giants. It's bad. It's bad.

442
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: You gotta take the l there. But Bortles hits the streets.

443
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: So there is another, Uh, there's another option. If you're

444
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: looking for a backup quarterback, West, does Bordles hold any

445
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: value to you if you're looking for somebody to fill

446
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: out a quarterback room. I think he's the perfect perfect

447
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Dolphins to start sixteen games. If you're

448
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: organically tanking. Are we jumping in the fish tag? I

449
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: would just say, Tom Ben, sign him up for that

450
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: adventure sixteen games and see where you end up in

451
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: next year's Draken we're jumping in the fish tank. Dude

452
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: gets to stay in the same state. People like the

453
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: income tax things people people do like people like to

454
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: talk about the income tax for Starr. If you really

455
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: are organic tanking, that what Blake Bortles is perfect though, Well,

456
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean you could just go you can cut Ryan

457
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: Tannehill and just go with the rest of the depth

458
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: chart you have right now that we're still there now

459
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: David fails he actually I think Jake Roddick Luke. I

460
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: am not maybe bring fails back. I'm just not doing

461
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: it bringing fails back. Brock's a free agent too, by

462
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: the way he's out there. I'd rather have Brock for

463
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: sure than Bords. I could see. I could see this

464
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: being a Ryan Fitzpatrick destination as well. This is going

465
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: to sign somewhere. That's a nice I'm not saying he's

466
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: he's coming off a nice year. Thinking about the NFL though,

467
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Like there's a decent chance you can stumble into seven wins.

468
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: That's one of the things. I believe in most it's

469
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: really not that hard to win five or six teams. Like,

470
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: would it really stun you if the Dolphins somehow found

471
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: a way to come in second in the a f

472
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: C East. I mean, just like you just get a

473
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: few things going your way. Flores turns out to be

474
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: a great coach. It's like a nice year where you

475
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: last achieve everything. They got so many breaks last year.

476
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: Their problems they haven't they were they were much worse

477
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: than they were seven and nine. They haven't been bad

478
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: enough to go get that quarterback number one. Overall, they've

479
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: always been this sort of six. They were a five

480
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: and eleven team that went seven or nine last year,

481
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: no doubt. So if that, I feel like five and

482
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: eleven might be their ceiling this year. But you're right though,

483
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a killer division outside the Paths

484
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: even with the improvements, Uh, with the other teams. Jordy

485
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: Nelson's done in Oakland one and done. The Raiders released

486
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Nelson on Thursday. Tom Pla Sera reported it. Uh. It

487
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: comes less than three months after John Gruden said the

488
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: White that would be back. They gave him a three

489
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: point six million dollar bonus for salary cap purposes. Uh

490
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: and and Greg, you were fired up on the Twitter

491
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: about this one. I was. I did learn after the

492
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: fact that that bonus was guaranteed as part of his contract.

493
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: It was not reported. In fact, it was reported in

494
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: an opposite fashion at the time last March and in

495
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: December when this was reported, But people uncovered that money

496
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: was guaranteed regardless. So that clarifies it to me. It

497
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: makes a little more sense why you would cut him now.

498
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: That said, it doesn't change the fact that it was

499
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: an awful contract and that Gruden Uh was uh misguided

500
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: by saying he's gonna be back, because you know, all

501
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders fans came in my mentions like, well, how

502
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: did he know he was gonna get into a new Brown?

503
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: He didn't know. This was unforeseen. It's not unforeseen that

504
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: you wanted to upgrade from Jordy Nelson. You just went

505
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: into free and See desperate to spend as much money

506
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: as humanly possible at wide receiver, Antonio Brown, Tyrone Williams,

507
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: even j J. Nelson. So it wasn't unforeseen. So you

508
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: don't tell a guy that he's say that he's going

509
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: to be back and talk about how Grady looked late

510
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: in the season. If you're gonna go and and you

511
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: don't sign him to that contract to begin with, we

512
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: made fun of that contract. It goes back to the

513
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: same thing I was saying on Wednesday, what with these

514
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: gms and the coaches and all that. I could deal

515
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: with the lives of a mission. That's part of the game.

516
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: But when you say something straight up in this case,

517
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: Jordy Neslon will be back three months later, you cut him,

518
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: It's like you're wasting everybody's time. This Come on, keep

519
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: it real. I mean Jordan's It's not a bad deal

520
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: deal for Jordy Nelson. He just got this guaranteed money

521
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: into two thousand nineteen. He go double dip sign another contract.

522
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: How about with the Packers. I'm not saying Jordy Nelson

523
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: can play anymore. He's thirty four years old, but Aaron

524
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers was annoyed that Jordy left without being consulted. The

525
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: Packers certainly need to fill out a wide receiver depth chart.

526
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's potentially they've got a bunch of

527
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: young guys that they seem to like. I don't know.

528
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: For me, that's it's not Jason Witten, but it's a

529
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: little bit too cute to bring Jordy Nelson back to Green.

530
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: But he's friends with Aaron Rodgers, so who knows. Uh,

531
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 1: John Elway has got things to say. I can't give

532
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: John Elway the benefit of the dad anymore. I'm sorry, everybody,

533
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: Broncos fans, and you get it. You understand because your

534
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: patients has been tested more than anyone. But he he

535
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: speaks with NFL Networks James Palmer, who's a good guy.

536
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: I like JP. Yeah. I mean when you do the

537
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: power rankings of if I'm going like, we're going to

538
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: Phoenix next week, We're going to Phoenix next week for

539
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: the UH and and it's gonna be nice. It's a

540
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: nice hotel, very nice hotel, um and then there's the

541
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: hotel lobby and everyone's there. I mean, you could you

542
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: can name any NFL network talent just about their belly

543
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: up at the bar talking eating. JP is high up

544
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: on my list. If I'm going to bump into somebody

545
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: at the bar and have a ten minute combo, JP

546
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: is up there easy. I mean, he could be a positive.

547
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: I will not tell you who I don't want to

548
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: be belly up with that would be do you have

549
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: people from our network that you that would be very

550
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: low on the list for you? Do? I just didn't

551
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: want you to release the whole power ranking. Well, no,

552
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: that's a that's a May episode. Uh tune in, Ian Rappaport,

553
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna want to hear this. I'd say

554
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: it's like a top three would be fine. That just

555
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: don't go any deeper than that. I haven't been on

556
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: the rap Sheet has Friends podcast yet supposed to do

557
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: a home and Home I have not been invited yet.

558
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Don't hold your breath. J J. James Palmer is one

559
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: of those guys you know, he's he's based in Denver.

560
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: So it's a weird thing in this industry, in this building,

561
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: especially if the Broncos are as relevant as possible, a

562
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: little more airtime, a little more relevant for James Palmer.

563
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: So he's in a tough spot here with el Way.

564
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: He needs some of these Elway signings to work out

565
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: because these Broncos teams the last couple of years not

566
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: on the ring in his back pocket though he is.

567
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: Also he doesn't actually attached to the Houston texts, but

568
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: he has been He's had to spend to spend a

569
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: lot of nons in case Keenum. I mean, you know,

570
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: and he's he's a good dad. So you know, if

571
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: you could, if you're if you're given the Broncos the coverage,

572
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: you don't have to leave home. You know. It's just

573
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: like and everybody at Denver, James family, at James Palmer

574
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Let him know Dan thinks highly of him personally.

575
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: It'll be fun alright anyway, So this is what happens.

576
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: Palmer talks to Elway and l Wait tell Swans that

577
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is quote just getting into his prime thirty

578
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: four years old. Now there's one man in the in

579
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: the studio, and it shocked me when this happened, when

580
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: the trade went down. That is the biggest Joe Flacco

581
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: fan in America right now, and it's Chris Westling West,

582
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: do you believe what the GM is saying about the quarterback?

583
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: I said something very similar at the time that I

584
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: fully expect Joe Flacco to have one of the best

585
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: seasons of his career and to enter a period where

586
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: the next couple of years go better than the last few.

587
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: Because when I saw him play last year, he was

588
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: moving and throwing much more smoothly, much more athletically than

589
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: he did in previous few years. I like the fit.

590
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he was surrounded by great talent in

591
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore the last couple of years on offense, and I

592
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: have no I know, everyone likes to get their snark in,

593
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: just like they did with Adrian Peterson and Amari Cooper

594
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: and everything else has been decided at some time. But hey, yeah,

595
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: I I do believe that Elway is onto something. One

596
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: thing about Flacco that I liked watching his introductory press

597
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: conference with the Broncos was he was very honest and

598
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: he basically you know you when he was in that

599
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: thing with Baltimore. You knew from the summer on that

600
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: he was gonna be pressed by Lamar Jackson. There were issues.

601
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: He basically acknowledged. It was one of the worst years

602
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: of his entire life. He didn't want to sit on

603
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: the bench. It wasn't like he was trying to be

604
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, Brett Favre Aaron Rodgers part two. But it

605
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: was just like he to me, the change of scenery

606
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: might really really be good for I hear us. My

607
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: thing is his health because he played two he got

608
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: a broken rib. Come on, no, I know, but he

609
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: played two seasons with a really two two and a

610
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: half seasons where he wasn't at games in almost every season, right,

611
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: and he was so limited, and he talked about it

612
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: that that he's I know, but that's just the thing

613
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: that you would worry about happens. That's the X factor.

614
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: And then sang the other X factor, Skanks could be

615
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: a genius and could fix this terrible offensive line, or

616
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, Skanks could uh you know, go the way

617
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: the last couple offensive I mean Rich Gangarrello, their offensive

618
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: coordinator that I brought it up on this podcast that

619
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: that was his nickname, according to Lay, I know, but

620
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: you were just killing people for using Goody at the combine.

621
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: Now you're using Skangs. Well that when you have a

622
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: nickname as um, it is kind of gross to say

623
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: as Skanks. I think you just say it, you know,

624
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: would be better. This is I feel like this now

625
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting like deja vo. How about skank Skank? I

626
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: thought gonna get this guy turned around. I think I

627
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: threw Skan g out. There is not bad about skank

628
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: Skanks a little he would appreciate that little hard edge

629
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: for a nickname. I'm looking at his photo right now.

630
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: I think it matches up pretty nice. No, that's not it.

631
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: That's how I put down. It seems nice. I love

632
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: James Palmer, moving on, k J Wright uh and the

633
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks staying in business together. Rap sheet reports two years

634
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: worth up to fifteen and a half million dollars. Greg

635
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: Bill say you're looking at the photo and you get it.

636
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: That's Skank right there, Hey, skank, drop up this game

637
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: plan sky shouting in that way inside the Broncos facility. Please,

638
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: he skank. I want a good game plan around. Flacco

639
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: right has spent his entire eight year career in Seattle. UH.

640
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: He missed eleven games due to a knee injury in

641
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, but prior to that he was a

642
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: tackling machine. We love tackling machines. Four straight seasons with

643
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: a hundred plus tackles. West good move. I don't think

644
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 1: anybody knows, because I don't think anybody knows what's going

645
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 1: on with his knee. He returned returned at the end

646
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: of last year. I couldn't really get a good gage

647
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: on whether he was the same player, and I don't

648
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: think he was quite as disruptive in those few games

649
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: that he played at the end of the year, and

650
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: he didn't get much attention on the free agent wire.

651
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: Compliments Bobby Wagner, Well, and I think that's kind of

652
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 1: the secret sauce for the Seahawks. They put pieces together

653
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: that complement each other well and know their roles. I

654
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: think the Seahawks Seahawks I see out there. I know

655
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: you're quiet and free. They kind of do this quiet

656
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: thing and free agency big. I don't like what they're doing.

657
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: You know, they add these offensive line and they bring

658
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: Fluker back. He got a Patty just taking a shot

659
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: on him, Michael Kendricks. You know, maybe he'll go to jail,

660
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: but if not, he's on the field. Their big offseason

661
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: was last year, shedding and adding a bunch of young people.

662
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: Moving on another player not going anywhere, Philip Door sets

663
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: as a one year deal to remain with the Patriots.

664
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: Um he had a nice season he had. He was

665
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: a part of that offense last year, but apparently not

666
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: a big market was waiting for him in free agency,

667
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: so he just sticks around in New England. I don't

668
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: see any money. Greg is just go back to year old.

669
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: It's a deal that no one's proud of. Who's what's that?

670
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. You said, like when you don't see

671
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: money being that, no one's proud of the deal. So

672
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, that's I mean, I think it's safe

673
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: to save their sets, not getting you know, paid too

674
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: much money and we're in the world or Devin Funch

675
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: has just got fourteen million for one year. I mean

676
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: Dorsa had had like two yards. But he will always

677
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: be the guy who caught Uh to me, the key

678
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 1: touchdown in the a f C Championship to lead them

679
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. It's just I think there are

680
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: sets worth bringing up, just because to bring up the

681
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: Patriots week, which I think Patriots fans are frustrated with.

682
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: You would think they would be over this by now

683
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: because this is kind of what the Patriots do. The

684
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: Patriots did want a slot receiver, though, and I think

685
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: that ended up being a big whiff. In this freegency period.

686
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: They really wanted Adam Humphries. Uh reportedly ended up offering

687
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: him more money than the Titans got, but it was

688
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: after he had already agreed with Titans and they were

689
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: in on Cole Beasley. They were lightly in on Golden

690
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: Tap didn't get any of them, and they signed the

691
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: ended up signing Bruce Ellington. Uh, they signed um who's

692
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: the guy from Washington, Maurice Harris who? And they signed

693
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of special team or Terrence Brooks. They bring

694
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: back Jason mccordy for a little more money. It's a

695
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: very kind of low wattage free agency period here for

696
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I think there's gonna be some more

697
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: moves to come. And the gronk thing hangs over the

698
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: franchise that it does, I mean I and over the

699
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: wall outside here at NFL media. Yeah, but if he

700
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: were to retire, I don't think you need to pull

701
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: his painting off the same way when you're Antonio Brown

702
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: and your melchown, it's like they're sending a message, but

703
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: it's the opposite of grandstanding. It's like Belichick goes to

704
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: Barbadis make sure people take pictures of him with his wife.

705
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: I think it was the UK, wasn't it. It was Caribbean.

706
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: Then they sign a bunch of special teamers while everyone's

707
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: going crazy with their money, and it's like, oh, hey,

708
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: we don't need to be active in free agency to

709
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: dominate this league. I really liked Martellis Bennett sent a

710
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: tweet out. I recommend everyone check it out. It was

711
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of a joking letter to Michael Bennett to let

712
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: him know what the locker room was like. He gave

713
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: me more information on the personalities in that locker room

714
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: in these tweets of what people are really like than

715
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: than some Beat reporters have for years. It was good.

716
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: It was good stuff. Um just kind of like the

717
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: different vibes, like like Julian Edelman, You'll probably want to

718
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: punch him at some point, Um, you know, don't do that.

719
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: He's kind of only got one speed. Uh. You you'll

720
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: vibe with High Tower. He's kind of the most like

721
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: just like business like you're kind of guy. Uh, you know,

722
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: Brady very down to earth into interior decorating. Uh. James

723
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: Devlin is like a guy like the Bennetts, who really

724
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: self growth is important to him that you can have

725
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: some pretty deep conversations. He wants to become a better person.

726
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check these out. Who's this from? It's from Martellis,

727
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: Ninki Martellis and that was the Patriots aren't resigning him now.

728
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: So Steelers have signed Dante Moncrief. They have a hole

729
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: in their depth chart with Antonio Brown no longer around. Uh.

730
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: That's not to say that Dante Moncrief becomes their number

731
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: one option. That's Juju Smith Schuster. But mon Creef after

732
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: one year with the Jaguars, Uh, didn't do much. He

733
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: bounces to Pittsburgh of course, started his career with the Colts.

734
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: Someone asked me yesterday on Twitter, how did I like

735
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: what the Steelers have done? And it was hard to

736
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: say that I was taking anything positive away. Dante Moncrieff

737
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: is talented, but he's been a tease and one of

738
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: the least efficient wide receivers in the NFL the last

739
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: couple of years. Every offense he's goes to is it

740
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the league and passing offense. Uh.

741
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: They also sent Stephen Nelson, gave him a lot of

742
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: money to be a starting cornerback. Bradley Roby turning them down. Yeah,

743
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: this is all kind of like little stuff, and we

744
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: got some big coming up. Give us something, little breaking news,

745
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: give it to us. Ryan Tanna has been traded to

746
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans and signed to a one year contract.

747
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: No other details at this moment. That Titans have a

748
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: there you go backup. I guess in Tannahill Dolphins decide

749
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: they interested turn in the page even if he contract

750
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: that would Yeah, they did, they said, and signed him

751
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: to a one year contract. That his agent broke the news,

752
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: so he clearly was willing to just take a backups contract.

753
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: I would assume. I bet it's a nice backups contract

754
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: Titans have playing Gabbard under contract. Heriota can never stay healthy.

755
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I very rarely have anything positive

756
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: to say about the Tytoons, but this is a perfect

757
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: landing spot. Their quarterback is never healthy, He's always got

758
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: something going on, and Towne Hill is to me now

759
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: one of the best backups in football. I I really

760
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: like the Titans first week of free agents too, might

761
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: be my favorite team here in free agency. Humphries Saffold.

762
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: I like wake I think there's some sort of under

763
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: like there's a market inefficient seeing some of these older

764
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: players that you can just get for a one year

765
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: contract like wake In Tannehill. I would actually even put

766
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: into that, like why not get Ryan Tannehill for one

767
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: year and just just same with Baker Mayfield and Josh

768
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: Allen are talking about he's a little bit older. But

769
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: Marcus Mario. It's all about the quarterback. Though. It's the

770
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: quarterback gonna be able to lift this game and take

771
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: the franchise to the next level. I haven't I haven't

772
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: seen any evidence other than a nice playoff win in

773
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City with the Chiefs team that kind of tripped

774
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: on its own moments moments here and there. But is

775
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: he the guy? Well, now you have not another aren't

776
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: we aren't we like massively less excited about Marcus Mariotta

777
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: as a room than we were three years ago. I mean,

778
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: is that the way you want the trajecture to go

779
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: as a quarterback? That's not the way you wanted to go?

780
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: Where we are? Are we going to edit out a

781
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: our Tannehill takes earlier in the show Organic where the

782
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: organic fish tank and that was organic? Okay, it happened earlier.

783
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: Nice discussion. People be like, oh, the show is a

784
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: little you know, behind the times, and then bang' gonna

785
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: hear this. You're like, whoa, these guys are capturing everything.

786
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: We're just gonna sit here through Sunday night. This this

787
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: this pod will be Week one starter. Jake Ruddeck The

788
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna be bad. They're gonna draft someone. It's

789
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough year. All right, sorry, Henry, not

790
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: really uh at the best? Who's the best guy's left

791
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: on the market, That's what's going on the news. Who's

792
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: left now? Justin Houston? I think the best in domic

793
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: and Sue? Uh is interesting? This isn't one of Ronald

794
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: Darby is out there who's coming off an injury, but

795
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: was a you know, a guy defensive? Rockie and Efford's

796
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: out there three not one of the best guys. But

797
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: I have not heard Randall Cobb's name all week. No,

798
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is out there. You know there's some there's

799
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: some big players out there. Um, all right, before we

800
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: get out of here, let's do some over unders. Let's

801
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: have some fun, some players that are new locations. Um,

802
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, let's start there West It's it's going to

803
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: be a fascinating subplot to watch how he does in Denver.

804
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: Let's throw some numbers out there. You tell me West

805
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: Over under? You ready a touchdowns five and a half?

806
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: That is well set. I will take the under because

807
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: I think that it will be Philip Lindsay And um,

808
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: who's the other running back there who is a rookie

809
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman in the red zone quite a bit yards passing.

810
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: Oh Mark shaking his head. I'm taking the under for

811
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: all Joe Flack. I don't believe he's gonna things just because,

812
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: like if if he misses three games, that alone you

813
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: win it. And to me, these are so well set

814
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: Dan that if he played sixteen games that you know,

815
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: one little minor injury and you are He's thrown over

816
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns two times in his entire career. I'm waiting for

817
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: West's answer. I'll take the over pass over, Okay, So

818
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: you you see a good season and not a great season,

819
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: but better than a middling season. I see a career

820
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: resetting season where he's going to be viewed differently. So

821
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: it's got a fourth round pick in this Ryan Tannehill

822
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: um trade, which indicates to me, no, not that he's

823
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna be battling to start, but that they're certainly thinking

824
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: of post Mariotas in the last year of his contract.

825
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Could Tannehill just be another option long term? It's not

826
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: a bad value, all right, We'll stick at quarterback Greg

827
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: nick Foles of the Jaguars and a half touch scenes.

828
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: That's really high though. That's that's what the dozen people

829
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: would saying. Well, not really, that's what I'm saying. It's

830
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: funny because I've consider myself a total falls acolyte. But

831
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm going under anyways because I think that's the smarter.

832
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: He could have a good year and throw fords. I

833
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna want to run the ball a lot.

834
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm going over that though. Alright, pass ready. I don't

835
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: believe in passerrating, but I'll go away. It's like enough

836
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: of passer ratings two thousands, nineteen, that's that's let's grow

837
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: up a little bit. I would I want to see

838
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: Nick Foles start sixteen games he's never started. Yeah. My

839
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: thing is more. I think it's gonna be like a

840
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: run first off. I don't necessary even. I think he

841
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: could play well and go under all of those you

842
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, It's possible. Um alright, Mark you ready,

843
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: big one for you, because it's a new day in Cleveland, dawn.

844
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: It's a new day. Odell Beckham Jr. Okay, is this

845
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: white snake good? Right? One catches under close and seventy

846
00:42:55,360 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: five yards receiving under way over Wow, twelve touchdowns twelve.

847
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: Well that's the push. You can't have twelve and a a

848
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: half touchdowns? Oh you said, he said twelve? Um the

849
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns sober. He's only done that once. But I'd

850
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: go over big time on the other two. So when

851
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: when you thought I said twelve, you said push. But

852
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: the when I told you twelve and a half, you

853
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: should have said under, but you went to I'm not

854
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: trying to veer negative. I just I So he's gonna

855
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: have a Pro Bowl season, but maybe not first team

856
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: All Pro. You just had a hundred catches once. I

857
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of other mouths to feed in

858
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: that offense. Is there were years in New York where

859
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: there weren't. It's a good no one else around. It's

860
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: a good thought now, you know, because he might be

861
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: more of a vertical receiver, a little less of those

862
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: short vertical receptions, maybe more yards. What would you say

863
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: his number is? West receptions yards touchdowns. Hit me with it.

864
00:43:53,640 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: Receptions fifty yards touchdowns. Okay, and I'm conservative, Greg, You're

865
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: freaking me out over here. I think he can set records,

866
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: all right? So that type of season another running back?

867
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: You ready? Mark? Sticking with you? Your boy Mark with

868
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: a K mark Ingram Mark would a c over a

869
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: thousand over barely h West your boy Adrian Peterson yards

870
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: und didn't like the way he ran for much of

871
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, and Darius guys will

872
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: be healthy this year. Tannehill, by the way, got the

873
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: exact same contract as Ryan as Teddy Bridgewater seven guaranteed

874
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: twelve with intentives Greg Ryan Tannehill just gotta put that

875
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 1: out there, Ryan Tannehill four and a half starts, I'm

876
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: going over whoa. I think there's a injurer performance or both.

877
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: That's it's That's the reason why I was decisive about

878
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: it was one one way or another. I'd take it.

879
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: I like that move. I think the Titans, the Titans

880
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: need options that that position. I agree they agree, Wow

881
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: West West John Smokey Brown up there in western New

882
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: York with the big armed kid yards per reception sixteen

883
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: mm over don't get a lot of white pr Yeah,

884
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. What did Sean Jackson

885
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: have last year? Okay, it's wild. You're taking me over,

886
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: So you think that's gonna work. That's a connection that

887
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: will works. Well. You could have four catches and have

888
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: you could average that eighteen point nine. I mean, that'll

889
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: that'll lead the league. You know, if you get around eighteen.

890
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Look at what Robert freaking Foster did at the end

891
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: of last year with Josh Allen. That's undrafted rookie and

892
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: John Brown's Smokey's better than Robert games for all these

893
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not I don't sleep on That's

894
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: what I don't sleep on. Rob five. That's your analysis.

895
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: My analysis. Smoke's way better than that guy was explicitive.

896
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying I kind of like Foster Brown Beasley. I

897
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: think Foster isn't a guy to be trifled with. When

898
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: you do that as a rookie, I'm gonna I want

899
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: to see what's next, my boy Lean Bell seventy seven receptions,

900
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: seventy seven and a half reception over twelve hundred and

901
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: fifty yards rushing set. Well, but I'm I'm you know,

902
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm bullish on Bell. So I'm going over. So you're

903
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: you're looking at You're saying, he's gonna approach two thousand,

904
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: totally yards. That's a home run signing. If he gives

905
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: you that, I mean, he's done this West. Where do

906
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: you come down on that? What's the question, Um, seventy

907
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: What did I say seventy? You know I would I

908
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: would say totally. I would say Artram Scrimmage, I would

909
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: put more around eight hundred. But yeah, who seven Bell? Yeah,

910
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: I love Bell. Let's set seventy seven and a half

911
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: receptions will start there underd and fifty yards rushing. That's

912
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: a good set. Yeah, I would push that. Seventeen That

913
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: would be a ridiculous That's just ridiculous. And he's allowed

914
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: to push that exactly. It's like it's like a losing

915
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: the yard on his last thing in ruins here his

916
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: last two active years here in for twelve six. So

917
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: twelve fifty is right in that world. Seventeen twenty total

918
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: yards offense under okay, mm hmm, whatever it, dude, Joe

919
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: Flacco sucks. All right, that's good. I don't need anybody else.

920
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: Want the world agrees with you. We'll see what happens.

921
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: Andybody also want to throw a name out there. They're

922
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna be hearing about this magical Joe flax about this

923
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: Sam Donald Dan twenty seven touchdowns, villain, bullish bro. But

924
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you nailed it. I think he's gonna

925
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: be between twenty six and thirty, so I'll take the over.

926
00:47:54,640 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: M Sam Donald fourteen interceptions, fourteen and a half interception,

927
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw about between ten and twelve, So I'll

928
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: take the under. New York Giants Winds m M. What's

929
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: the number four? Give us an over under on the

930
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: give us a half, give us a half. I'm going

931
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: over regards four and a half, I'll take the under.

932
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a mess. Wow, there there

933
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: aren't many teams. I wouldn't take the over. I think

934
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: i'd probably take the over on four and a half

935
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: for about thirty teams, and the Giants would be one

936
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: of them. Eli. Thing is so sloppy now, even to

937
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: the next level with the Beckham gone, I just think

938
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be. This is the wrong time to

939
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: be because everyone's gonna skew hyper negative and they've earned

940
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: at the brown the Giants, But I still think that's

941
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: not a good team. They're a bad team last year

942
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: and they got worse. If they go four eleven and one,

943
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: is that four and a half wins? No, we've had

944
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: this conversation as well. I'll give it to you. You

946
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: In this world, I'm going to push four winds in

947
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: a tie have more leniency on these things. Speaking of

00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: to be an incredible weekend. It's all very Christa Westler

970
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: and Lakisha's upcoming nuptials excited us. I am I like

976
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: Taking the train down the coast, it's a possibility. But

977
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: how are we gonna get the cornhole boards down? Crossed

978
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: my mind. We might have to take a car. For

979
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: that reason. We can reach out to the person renting

980
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: and ask if who renting? Friends they maybe they have

981
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,839
