1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: What's up?

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 3: Everybody's Bucky Brooks and Lance z represent to day on

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 3: the Movie six podcasts.

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 4: Lance, what is going on? How you hold it up?

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: In this free agent friends?

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 5: Oh? Man, it started off hot and heavy.

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: I was like, man, it didn't with all the trades

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: that got it kicked off.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 5: I was like the pre pre free.

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Agency, and you got DK moving, and you got Geno moving,

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: and the quarterback carousels shuffling. And then here in Houston,

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, you got off of Laramie Tunsel and the

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: trade and all these free agent signings are coming in.

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 5: It's crazy to see, like how quickly.

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: The money has escalated at so many positions. It's like,

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: I can't even process Daniel Jones getting fourteen million. But

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: then when you look, you know at backup rates, especially

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: backups who may have a chance to start.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 5: Like, that's what backup quarterbacks make.

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Now you get at you get fourteen million, that's not

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: a problem.

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what they make. That's what they're

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: always gonna make.

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy, right because you think about the

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 3: money that Justin Fields got from the Jets, which puts

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: him at twenty million per Look, you gotta guaranteed I

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: love it. But he is the lowest paid starter of

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: anyone that's not a rookie. And then Daniel Jones goes

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: into Naptown competing with Anthony Richardson, and you got to

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: think that he is on the inside track to win

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: that job. He's making fourteen million dollars. You have Geno

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: Smith swapped out in the Pacific Northwest. Sam Donald comes

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: in to Seattle and basically signs the Baker Mayfield contract

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: plus a little a little extra little sprinkle on top.

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: It's Look, it's crazy to think about, like the quarterback carousel,

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: how it's spinning and we're still waiting to see what

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and New York are going to do respectively. In

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: the names that you hear out here, Russell Wilson, you

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: have Aaron Rodgers. I mean, I don't know if there's

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: anybody else outside of that. If I'm Russell Wilson, I'm

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: you know how we used to play that musical chairs, Yeah,

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: on the yard and they get the one chair and

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: they're spinning around. Yeah, they better hurry up and figure

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: it out because not many seats left for the dance.

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: No, no, there's not, and you know, they gotta they

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: gotta get this thing, like Rogers going to Pittsburgh. It

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: feels like it's a done I mean, I don't, I

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: don't want to say done deal, but it's feeling like

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: there's just you're out of you're out of spots, you're

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: out of chairs, as you said, and you're out of

52
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: people playing the game.

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 5: So if Aaron gets that last spot, I.

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Don't I don't know what happens to uh, you know,

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what happens to to Russell Wilson.

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't.

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 5: I don't know where Russ Russ goes.

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: He'll have to go somewhere where he's got a chance

59
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: to compete as a starter, or he's got.

60
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: A chance to be a really above average.

61
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: Backup, a good backup who can step in and start

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: and maybe win some games for you. So it'll be

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: interesting to see. I know this though, but it's you know,

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the Geno Smith move for the Raiders.

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: I thought that was interesting. I don't know if that

66
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 5: says something about their thoughts.

67
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: About shod Or Sanders, if if they don't think Shador

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: is the guy that they want to target and they

69
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: want to bridge quarterback for the next you know, a

70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: couple of years, a year so that they can kick

71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: the can down the road for a quarterback, maybe in

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: a in a different round other than first round, or

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: maybe in a different year. I don't know if it means, hey,

74
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: let's put him here and we'll still draft Shad or

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Sanders sixth. You know, the conversations that I got into

76
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: at the combine, I just didn't find the NFL teams.

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't really about attitude. It was really about they

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: just they had a second round or third round.

79
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: Great on them, and that's that's that's bananas. But look

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: it only it only takes one, Yeah, it is. It

81
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: is funny though, because of the conversation and we'll have

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: this extended conversation on these quarterbacks. It's so interesting to

83
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: me to hear the conversation about Shador Sanders and people say, oh,

84
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't have this, but then the that Tyler Shutt

85
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: is getting over whatever, and I'm like, man, if you

86
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: look at their collech's careers, it's not even close in

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: terms of the production and what they've accomplished. But here's

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: where we are at this state of the process. And

89
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: it's funny you brought up Shaduur Sanders. I feel like

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: every podcast has to do it. But Lance, what if

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: I told you that, I'm looking at the move that

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns made to acquire Kenny Pickett. Yeah, and

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 3: it leads me to believe that Shaduur Sanders would be

94
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: the pick for them when they take a quarterback.

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 5: I could see it.

96
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: I don't know that they do it with the second pick,

97
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: but see in my last mock, I had them taking

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter and then moving back into the first because

99
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: they have two third round picks, So I had them

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: moving back in the first and taking Shador Sanders, you

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: know in the twenties.

102
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 5: I actually could see that. I actually could see that,

103
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: because then you.

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Got you got a chance to have a real competition,

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: and you really you want in that situation, I think

106
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: you would want Shador to win that job. A lot

107
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: of times you want quarterback, you know, to sit behind veterans.

108
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: That could be the case in Cleveland. It gives you

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the option either way if that were to happen, If

110
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: you draft should door with the second pick of the draft,

111
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

112
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

113
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: If it changes how you approach the quarterback situation. I mean,

114
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: it's never a bad thing for a rookie to get

115
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: sometimes with mental reps on the bench and kind of

116
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: but the one different, the thing that's different with Shaudors

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I think he's he's wired a little.

118
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: Differently than some of these other quarterbacks.

119
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: I think he's actually he's a guy who I think

120
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: has a lot of confidence. I don't think he's easily shaken.

121
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: So I mean, to me, I think should Or Sanders

122
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe could handle man. There's always the speed of the

123
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: game and the x's and o's and stuff like that.

124
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard for any any rookie. But sometimes

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I feel like should Or Sanders might be able to

126
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: handle a little more of the pressure of the glare

127
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: than maybe any of the other quarterbacks in this draft.

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: It's one of the things that I kind of like

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: about him. Doesn't have an elite arm, doesn't even have

130
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: I think he has a very average arm, but he

131
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: throws with accuracy. It's just it's gonna be interesting to

132
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: see where he goes. But I did wonder, though, to

133
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: keep it to put it back in free agency, Buck,

134
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: I did wonder how many of these moves were directly

135
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: tied to looking at this quarterback draft and saying, uh,

136
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna pass this year, or we're gonna pass in

137
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: the first round. Then all bets are off in the

138
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: second or third round. You know, I don't I don't know.

139
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how that plays out, you know.

140
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: So I do think the run on quarterbacks that we've

141
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: seen in free agency is a direct, kind of direct

142
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: reaction to what everyone had a chance to see from

143
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks of the combine.

144
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

145
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: The reason why I mentioned Kenny Pickett maybe paving the

146
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: way for shir Dr Sanders to go there had little

147
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: to do with the pick, whether it's the second pick

148
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: or whatever. Stylistically, a lot of times you see people

149
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: stacked a quarterback room with similar types. And so when

150
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: you see the Browns move off of dtr athletic playmaker,

151
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: they send him out, they bring Kenny Pickett in, who's

152
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: more of a.

153
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: Traditional pocket passer.

154
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: Maybe this is Kevin Stefanski saying, hey, let's ready our playbook,

155
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: let's ready our scheme for someone that is more of

156
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: a traditional passer as opposed to what we had in

157
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: the past, where we had these athletic quarterbacks, and you.

158
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: Know, they kind of had a Hodgepies.

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: They had Deshaun who was athletic, Jameis dtr and none

160
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: of the pieces fit. Maybe this is Kevin Stefanski saying, Hey,

161
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: I want to make sure everybody in this room is

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: kind of similarly skilled, so I don't have to do

163
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: multiple learning, create multiple playbooks for our offense to operate

164
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: if one of those guys is not in the lineup, Yeah.

165
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: Let's get intel. That's a that's a good way to

166
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: think of that, you know.

167
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: And you don't know. This is Kenny Pickett's fourth year.

168
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: I think he had two of Pittsburgh won last year.

169
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, Kenny kind of came out of nowhere. He

170
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: was one year wonder out of pit. The numbers is

171
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: last year didn't match.

172
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: Any of the other numbers. They were crazy.

173
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: And so maybe he's a guy that kind of gets

174
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: it a little bit now in year four. Maybe he's

175
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: ready to, you know, to be a bridge quarterback for

176
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: another quarterback coming. I don't know if he's ready to

177
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: pull a full on Saam Darnold, but you never know, I.

178
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: Mean you never know. I mean he did have some

179
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 5: talent coming out.

180
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: There was I thought the poise was something in the

181
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: pocket that kind of bothered me a little bit coming

182
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: out of college. I didn't think he handled it great

183
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, but that was a lot to put.

184
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: On his plate in Pittsburgh as well.

185
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: There are some really big wide receiver personalities in that room.

186
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: They can make it a little tougher on quarterbacks sometime

187
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: as well.

188
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 5: So you never know. You never know. But free agency

189
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: is off.

190
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: And running, and man, these numbers are crazy. What do

191
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: you think about Miles Garrett resigning? I thought he was like, oh, you.

192
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: Mean the guy who said he never gonna put the

193
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: uniform on.

194
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, funny Lance, It's funny when they slide that big

195
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: old check over there.

196
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: Amazing on a lot of things that you said, Oh

197
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 4: you know, I'm out of here.

198
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: I need to be with a winner.

199
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 4: That the contender got a Lance, we'll pay you.

200
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: For you for Hey, you know what, I'm back. I

201
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: love it here. I would never leave Lake Erie. This

202
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: is what I've always wanted.

203
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: Grace, guys and and snow like, this is a perfect

204
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 3: place for me to build a family.

205
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: And but Bruce down, I'm exact.

206
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 4: I think. Look, I never thought the Cleveland Browns were going.

207
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: To move off of Miles Garrett when you talked about

208
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 3: the kind of talent that he is. I mean, what

209
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: four straight seasons where he's had over fifteen fourteen or

210
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: fifteen sacks.

211
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: He's been a dominant player.

212
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: He is one of the guys that we absolutely can

213
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,479
Speaker 3: put the generational talent tag on. He's been as advertised

214
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: for the Browns, and I understand why they wanted to

215
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: pay him.

216
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: And I also understood why when.

217
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: They give you eighty eight million dollars to sign, why

218
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: you signed it right away And You're like, yeah, I

219
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm ever going win, but I'm certainly

220
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: gonna be uh rich rich and I may have a

221
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: chance to go down the street and and and and

222
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: kind of find a new bust in the Hall of Fame.

223
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: So I understand that part of it.

224
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 5: I've got.

225
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: You know, I really wonder if he just said, if

226
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: he came to the realization that Cleveland wasn't gonna move him,

227
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: and he just said, I might as well take a.

228
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,479
Speaker 5: Bunch of money, then, you know, I mean, because.

229
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: I do, I can't see how he would want to

230
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: get out and try and see what it's like to

231
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: win to win at a high a higher level, because

232
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It feels like Cleveland's got a lot of

233
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do right now there, so

234
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: give so many picks. I mean that Sean Watson stuff

235
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: was just such a killer for that organization. And I

236
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: can see him wanting to get out. Man, I can't

237
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: I understand it. He wants to go out and have

238
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: a chance.

239
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 5: But uh, I.

240
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: Mean, if you don't think you're going to you might

241
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: as well take you might as well take that that payday.

242
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 3: I guess it's time for the lead block presented by

243
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: T Mobile for Business.

244
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: Football needs a network willing to go the extra yard.

245
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: So do you go further with T Mobile for Business?

246
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: Lance, I'm gonna get on you because I know this

247
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: used to be your man before he became the.

248
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: GM of the Chicago Bears. The Bears have gone all

249
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: in on trying to upgrade their squad.

250
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: So let's talk about what the Bears have done in

251
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: free agency, whether you like it or not. The first

252
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: thing they went out and did they upgraded the offensive line.

253
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: Acquired Jonah Jackson be a trade from the Rams for

254
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 3: a six round pick. Joe Thuni comes over in a

255
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: trade from the Chiefs for a fourth round pick in

256
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Drew Dolman his son three year, forty

257
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: two million dollars contract, twenty eight million guaranteed.

258
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 4: Lance Your boy Ryan Poles has been listening.

259
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: He's been listening to X He's been listening to the streets.

260
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: He's trying to fix the offensive line so that this

261
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: team can pop.

262
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: What do you think about what the moves?

263
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, protect Kayla Williams or you're gone

264
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. I mean, I think

265
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the gms that is in

266
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: the crosshairs right now and he needs to win. He

267
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: needs to show growth. And the best way to do

268
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: that is show that the guy you drafted first ahead

269
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: of Jayden Daniels is up there in the same category

270
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: with Jayden Daniels. And the best way to do that

271
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: is before you can tell if he is or not,

272
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: you got to protect him and you got to give

273
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: him a chance.

274
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 5: Now, he's got to stop hanging on the ball so.

275
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: Long and all that.

276
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 5: But you know, you you added good football players.

277
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I think Jonah Jackson is solid.

278
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 5: You know, Joe Toney is a good guard. He'll be

279
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: a good player for you.

280
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Drew Dolman allows you to He's a zone scheme center

281
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: who can get out in space and get to angles

282
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: and and I think he can help the run game

283
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: from his own scheme standpoint. Ben Johnson, I would assume

284
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: had maybe some say in these guys.

285
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 5: I don't.

286
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if he really got in there, and

287
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: if he even has an opinion on offensive line, I

288
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: don't know. But you know, because Drew Dolmen is a

289
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: is his zone scheme center, I think that that kind

290
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: of tells you what they're going to uh, what they're

291
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: going to be heavy into in Chicago. But I like

292
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: it for Ryan Pols because you didn't give up any

293
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: first round picks, you had a lot of money to spend.

294
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: You immediately went after the offensive line. If you want

295
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: to really swing the sword, you can go at the

296
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: first You can go at an offensive lineman in the

297
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: first round with the UH with the tenth pick, or

298
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: maybe Trey Back still get a left tackle if you

299
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: want to put competition over there at the left tackle spot.

300
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: Or you know now you are close enough to being

301
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: where you need to be that you can maybe wait

302
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: a full round, maybe even two rounds before you attack

303
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: another tackle position. I still think I still think they

304
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: need competition at the left tackle spot. So it wouldn't

305
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: shock me if they looked at tackle with the first

306
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: round pick.

307
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 5: But I like it.

308
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's given us, he's given himself a chance,

309
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: he's got some weapons on offense. Polls I'm talking about

310
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: and now Caleb Williams. Now now I will say the

311
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver spot. It will also be interesting to see

312
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: what they do a wide receiver because DJ Moore didn't.

313
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: Do a whole lot. Keenan Allen's best days are gone obviously.

314
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 5: Roma Dunza is the dude, you know.

315
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: I think they'll look I think they'll look at tightening

316
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: up the wide receiver spot as well.

317
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 5: But I like it for me.

318
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you knew it wasn't where it needed to be.

319
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: We got money to spend, let's go get some guys.

320
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: No, So I like it.

321
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: In terms of Ben Johnson leaning into what made them

322
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: successful in Detroit, I think it's really important as a

323
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: head coach and play caller that you know the ingredients

324
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: that served you well in Detroit. Detroit became the monster

325
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: because of that offensive line being able to dominate. They

326
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: have versatility up front that could go from zone scheme

327
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: to gap skiing. They could bully you at the point

328
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: of attack because they had some monsters and these are

329
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: solid players.

330
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: I can't say that they're the bullies that he left.

331
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: In Motown, but it certainly gives them an opportunity to

332
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: be who they want to be. On offense, you're playing

333
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: in the Windy City. You're dealing with the elements. You're

334
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: also dealing with the division that prize itself in physicality

335
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: and toughness. The only way to beat the bullies is

336
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: you got to be able to hit the bully in

337
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: the mouth.

338
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: A better served to hit the bully in their mouth.

339
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, they might have set their

340
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: quarterback up for more success because they finally have an

341
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: offensive line and they may have a commitment to the

342
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: running game. They should allow Caleb Williams to have success

343
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: and Grady Jarrett.

344
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 5: They added Grady Jarrett in the middle too, So I

345
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: know it's I know it's not.

346
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: It's on the other side, we're still talking trench football

347
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: because the Lions, you know, build the trenches.

348
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: Build the trenches both sides of them.

349
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: And let's go get a Jamier Gibbs and A and

350
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: A and a MC David Montgomery, let's go wreck you.

351
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 5: And that's kind of what you know. They've got all

352
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 5: the right little pieces in place and so, but but

353
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 5: it starts in the trenches.

354
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: Man.

355
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: That's that's where the uh that's where the heart and

356
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: soul of teams a lot of times beat and you

357
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: got to get that right. And I think Ryan Poles

358
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: was doing everything he can't. It may it may work,

359
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: it may not work, but he needs it to work

360
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: right away for job security. I don't think there's any

361
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: question about that.

362
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: It absolutely has to work.

363
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: And I would say this, I think if you pair

364
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: uh DeAndre Swift with maybe a guy like Caleb Johnson

365
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: that blend someone that is more like David Montgomery to

366
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: Jamior Gibbs, that might work.

367
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: How about dreaming Me?

368
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't go wrong with triaging Henderson being

369
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: able to have the juice. So that's a rep for

370
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: the lead block presented by T Mobile for Business. Football

371
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: needs a network willing to go to extra yards. So

372
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: do you go further with T Mobile for Business lance.

373
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: I love having conversations. I have to make this an

374
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: abbreviated one because it's gotta go jump on free agent friends.

375
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: So here's what we can do.

376
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna work it out where we come back and

377
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: we kind of complete the podcast because I feel like

378
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: we kind of cheated the people.

379
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: There's so many moves.

380
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: But after Wednesday, we'll at least know where most of

381
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: the movers and shakers are going. So maybe late in

382
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: the week, me and you hop back on the podcast

383
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: and kind of scrimmage it all out and talk about

384
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: the moves that we're there and you.

385
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Too.

386
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 4: Until then, y'all make sure you're watching this from network.
