1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: This is the best of two pros and a couple

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Joe with Lamar arings and rating Win and Jonas Knox

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: on Boxorts Radio.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: We opened up the show talking about the latest on

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs. Reportedly, according to Ian Rappaport, the expectation is

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 2: they will not release Stefon Diggs, which would make some sense.

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 2: He was at OTA's wave to reporters there. Nice to

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: see you, guys. Uppere do not have any sort of

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: a pink substance with him in possession of him. While

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: at OTA's Frank Ragnow has decided to call it a

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: career For the Detroit Lions, that's another loss for them

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: and everybody's kind of monitoring and tracking what is happening

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. A very fascinating storyline where the Cleveland Browns

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: have decided, you know what, why just focus on one

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: quarterback when we can just have a bunch that all

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: do different things and all have different storylines. Joe Flacco

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: is in his forties, trying to give it another go

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: here after winning a Super Bowl a few years back.

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett's trying to revitalize his career because things didn't

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: go well in Pittsburgh. But he did get a Super

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles. You've got Dylan Gabriel there,

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: who was drafted in the third round. You've got shad

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: Or Sanders who was drafted in the fifth. Meanwhile, off

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: in the distance is Deshaun Watson. Uh, you know, rehabbing

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: or making another TikTok video, which I believe, by the way,

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: is he did they get married? Is that is that happening?

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: Look like they got engaged, and so it looks like, well, hey,

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 3: you know there, you go. Listen, we listen.

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: We've all uh, we've all had to overcome something, and

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: so it's good to see that he overcame whatever.

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: Go and touch it. Yeah, I'm not going touch No,

32
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: don't worry.

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: They already did so, not mary yet, Nope, just just

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: engaged as of right now. Okay, Well, good for them,

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: that's good for the for the happy couple there, and

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 2: hope everything works out for him.

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: But while everyone's focused.

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: On the future, in the quarterback room with the Cleveland Browns,

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders did take time to talk about his son,

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders and sort of the conversation and narrative that

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: was surrounding him going.

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: Into the draft.

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: And he was on the Say What needs to be

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: Said to podcast and he spoke about the perception and

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: what it did for not only Shador but also Shiloh

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: as well.

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 5: The Bible says God uses the foolish things to confound

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 5: the wise. So it was some foolish stuff that went on,

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: but you know what, that that gave them something that

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 5: they needed, Like this gave them something that they said,

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 5: I you know that, like that, like the edge that

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: Tom had, Like that edge. It gave them that edge

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: that you had. It gave them the edge that I had,

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: you know, say we're gonna be that we want to be.

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 5: We had to prove that that gave them the edge

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: that they needed. When you sit up there and and

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 5: say something like he went in a meeting unprepared, like dude,

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: chadors Anders, who's had six different coordinators, who has still

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 5: function and went up, leveled up every time we brought

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: somebody new end and you're gonna.

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: Tell me every situation.

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 5: You're gonna tell me he had on headphone, chaud or

63
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 5: anybody know my son, I understand he's a professional. Like

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 5: he's gonna go into a meet with headphones on, like.

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: YO, come home.

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: So that was Dion Sanders defending his son and some

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: of the various reports that were out there.

68
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: Following uh the draft slide that took place, and I mean, look,

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: he does.

70
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: I was waiting for him to be more vocal about

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: defending his son because I think I actually expected him

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: to talk more openly about it. But I think he's

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: just sort of taken. I'm gonna take a step back.

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: It's my son's career. Maybe I don't want to interject

75
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: too much, but I'm calling it right now. If shaud

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Or Sanders has the type of success that they believe

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: that he could have, and apparently the reviews out of

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: OTAs have been very, very good for shaud Or Sanders,

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: now he's performed. If he ends up getting that starting

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: job and ends up playing well, Dion Sanders is going

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: to have something for everybody, Like he's going to have

82
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: something for everybody who questioned his son's commitment, his preparation,

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: his ability, so on and so forth. Based on all

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: of that, I think he's just letting it marinate, letting

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: it all sit there, and he's going to have something

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: for all the naysayers and the haters out there of

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: shoud Or Sanders going and going through the draft process,

88
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: all right.

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: What Dion said is what a parent would say about

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: their their child, because of parents knows their child better

91
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: than anybody else does, so I think he was speaking

92
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: from a parent perspective in that SoundBite, not from a

93
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: coach's perspective. Is what I would offer to that as

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: it applies to where Shador is now and what that

95
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: situation looks like. Again, I'm going to continue to maintain

96
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: what I've maintained, and not reports, not reviews, or anything

97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: else is going to change how I see this. It

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 3: is an uphill battle for Shador Sanders, and for what

99
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: it's worth, it's not like like just thinking sensibly of

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: it and practically about it. If a kid gets drafted

101
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: in the fifth round of the draft and that very

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: team took a player earlier in the draft in the

103
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: third round at the same position, it is going to

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: be a very very hard task for anyone take that.

105
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: Remove the name, remove the name, remove the reasonings why

106
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: like you want you want to say, the reason why

107
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: he went in this round is because of X, Y

108
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: and Z. Remove all of those things and just look

109
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 3: at at look at this from a face value perspective,

110
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: you have a quarterback that's worth over two hundred and

111
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: thirty million dollars that isn't even going to be ready

112
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: to play. You bring in two vets ahead of the draft.

113
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: One of those vets played very well for the Cleveland

114
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: Browns a year removed from that, played well in his

115
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: spot duties where he was at last year in Indy.

116
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: Gets called to come back and to compete for the job,

117
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: and made it very clear he's going to compete for

118
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: the job in his interview he's not interested in being

119
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 3: a role model. Canny Pickett is like, he's the one

120
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: that's the one element, that's the one piece of this

121
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: puzzle that is the most undefined piece as it applies

122
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: to why would you bring him? Because he wasn't successful

123
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: As he was not successful as a starter in Pittsburgh,

124
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: he took on the role of being a backup, gets

125
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: a super Bowl in Philly. But what does that lead to,

126
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: Like does his time in the league equate to him

127
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: being prepared to now be a starter in Cleveland? I

128
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: don't think so. So your problem probably looking at Kenny

129
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: Pickett as being a backup. That's what you're probably looking

130
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: at and projecting Kenny Pickett to be I do not

131
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: think you're projecting him to be a starter for your team.

132
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: So you bring in Joe Flacco to compete to be

133
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: the starter. Who is he competing to be the starter with?

134
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: Are we basically saying there are going to be enough reps,

135
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: which this conversation has already been had plenty of times.

136
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: There's going to be enough reps between four players to

137
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: be able to find your way to the starting position

138
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: from the last position drafted. Now, I will say this

139
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: is daunting a task as it is for a fifth

140
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: round draft pick that has a third round draft pick

141
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: in the same exact draft class with two vets. This

142
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: could be And this is where what when you bring

143
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: up Dion and how you say he'll have something for

144
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: everybody if if Shador Sanders pulls through and is able

145
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: to somehow defy the odds. Because this is one hundred

146
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: percent of defying of the odds situation for Shador Sanders,

147
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: whether people want to admit that or not. That's the truth.

148
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: The faith element of this, you know, it's like the

149
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: spiritual element of this. It's such a major part of

150
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: Dion Sanders's life. It's such a major part of Shador

151
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: and the Sanders families' lives. It's it's a major part

152
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 3: they're god fearing people. Well, it's it's one of those moments.

153
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: Is the one that was last going to end up

154
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: being the one that's first? You know, It's like Bob

155
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: mar really had a song and one of the lyrics

156
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: in the song was but the stone that the builder

157
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: refused shall be the head corner stone.

158
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 6: Right.

159
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: So basically, Shador Sanders, in the situation that he is

160
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: he is in, finds himself with an interesting opportunity because

161
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: if he were to become the starter, that is probably

162
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: the biggest story in all of the National Football League

163
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: when it happens.

164
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: And wouldn't you say that if that's the case.

165
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: And he ends up being as good as Dion thinks

166
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: he's going to be, and he ends up giving Dion

167
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: the opportunity to shout and talk about you guys were wrong,

168
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: so on, it doesn't that call into question the draft

169
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: process and evaluation process of everybody else who did pass

170
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: on him, because if the if the idea was well,

171
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: we passed on him not because of maybe skill set,

172
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: but more how he acted in meetings and how he

173
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: came across why. I can understand that to a point,

174
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: but five rounds, there's going to be.

175
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: A lot of people come out. Mel Kiper's going to

176
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: come out thumping. There's going to be a lot of

177
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: people that come out and have something to say. If

178
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: it plays out where Shador Sanders ends up being a

179
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: superstar and you know, in Cleveland, I would just ask

180
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: the question, Lee. Look it up. How many fifth round

181
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: draft pick quarterbacks end up starting their rookie year.

182
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: I can think of one off the top of my head.

183
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: Who Kyle Orton due to injury? I mean, that was

184
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: that was due to injury and he had to play.

185
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he was a fifth round pick if

186
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, But.

187
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 4: That was, you know, that was. I don't know that.

188
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: It's not like he won the job. That was due

189
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: to injury.

190
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: He had, he had an opportunity to play and going

191
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 2: there and the second that Rex Grossman was back, they

192
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: made the move to go to Grossman, so that I

193
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: didn't even think that this was a him.

194
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: Just winning the job outright. But other than that, it's.

195
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: I can't I can't think of. According to ESPN's mel

196
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 3: Kiper Junior, none of the QB's picked in the fifth

197
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: round have become regular starters over the last thirty years.

198
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: I just don't. Again, I hate to be the one

199
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: that kind of injects some just logic to the scenario.

200
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: But it's a daunting task, man, and it's a task

201
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: that won't It just doesn't seem like that'll work out.

202
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: And correction, Kyler was taken to the fourth round, fourth round,

203
00:12:59,160 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: not the fit.

204
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: And for what it's worth, how did his career go?

205
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: Well?

206
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 4: Was it not bad? You know?

207
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: Well?

208
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: How long did he make it in? How long was

209
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: he a starter for?

210
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 4: Uh?

211
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: I remember him being pretty good out of Purdue. It

212
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: was a really good quarterback at produe, like really good.

213
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: He ended up playing nine years.

214
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: It's not bad. Yeah, how many did he start?

215
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: He had eighty two starts in nine years, forty two

216
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: and forty record, one hundred and one touchdown, sixty nine picks.

217
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just hate the round pick. I

218
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: hate to be the bearer of bad news fifth round

219
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: draft picks. It's just it's especially again, especially with a

220
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: third round draft pick in the mix, it's not enough, Like,

221
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: how can you sit here and people say we're going

222
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: to justify downgrading and downplaying the fact that Dylan Gabriel

223
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: is the third round draft pick for this like Dylan

224
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 3: Gabriel is a non factor in the conversation.

225
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: All right, So let me ask you this. If we're

226
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: talking about quarterbacks drafted by a team in the same

227
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: draft at different points in the draft. You were in

228
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: Washington when they took RG three and then took Kirk

229
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: Cousins later in the draft, what was the conversation like,

230
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: Because I remember at the time when they did that, thinking, well,

231
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: that's interesting. That seems a little uh, it seems kind

232
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: of interesting that that's how that would play out. This

233
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: is third and fifth, so it's a little different. But

234
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: that was also a situation in a scenario where I

235
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody got the feeling going into it

236
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: that maybe Kirk Cousins had a real shot or if

237
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: this was just a best player available.

238
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: But that was a debate day one, and it was

239
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,359
Speaker 3: a debate day one because of all of this dysfunction

240
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: that was taking place in Washington. And that was one

241
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: of those deals where it was like one of the

242
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: picks was Shanahan's and one of the pick was was

243
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: Dan Snyder's. And from what I heard it was a

244
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: matter of he was an insurance policy to RG three.

245
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: I don't remember it off the top of my head,

246
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: but I feel like I feel like it wasn't Kirk

247
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: Cousins was the insurance policy based off of if RG

248
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: three was going to be able to do it at

249
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: the pro level. Like that that was how how I

250
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: got it, Like somebody, somebody didn't want to take RG three.

251
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: I just don't remember off the top of my head.

252
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to mess it up, but I would

253
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: assume I would assume that kirk Cousins would have been

254
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: the one that the Shanahans wanted. I would have assumed.

255
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: I would assume that, But I could be wrong.

256
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 4: What's that supposed to mean?

257
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think people felt like some people felt like

258
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins came in with more of a skill set

259
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: that would fit what the Shanahan's offense. What it was. Wow, Wow,

260
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: RG three was more of a you know, more of

261
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: a mobile quarterback.

262
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: I do wonder on that point, because listen, we don't

263
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: know who's going to be the quarterback. I mean, we're

264
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: you know, we can kind of speculate. I think it's

265
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: going to be Flacco. We don't know who the starter

266
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: is going to be. We know Deshaun Watson still got

267
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: more time left on his deal, whatever the hell happens there, Like,

268
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: the one thing that we do know is if the

269
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: Browns are bad again this year, Kevin Stefanski's probably gone,

270
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: like this is probably it. And I just wonder Stefanski,

271
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: which is why I believe he's going to ultimately go

272
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: with Joe Flacco as a starter, because he looks at

273
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: this and goes, Man, if I have another bad year,

274
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm out, yes, and I got to save my job.

275
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: And I just wonder how he felt about the decision

276
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: to take another quarterback with my fifth round pick after

277
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: we just took one in the third, whether he looks

278
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: at that and goes, look, I need all the help

279
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: I can get. We can only start one quarterback. What

280
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: are we doing? Like, what's what's the plan here? Because look,

281
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: you you saw the faces in the room and they made.

282
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: The decision no real real emotion, So you know.

283
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe this, Maybe this is another example of

284
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy HASLM getting involved and being like, well, I like

285
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: the storyline, much like maybe Dan Snyder got involved in

286
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: wanting to take RG three.

287
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: When he did.

288
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: I mean, they're just it's still is a strange.

289
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: Move to me.

290
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: Was a huge success though, Yeah, and they had and

291
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: they had great success with him. He was the rookie

292
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: of the year. RG three just got hit by a

293
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: sledgehammer and a steam engine by the name of Hellodi

294
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: not and and Dangaire knocked his leg off of his body.

295
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 3: I've seen it with my own two eyes. It was

296
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: an injury. It was an injury that that allowed for

297
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 3: as you mentioned with Kyle Orton, it was an injury

298
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: that allowed for for Kirk Cousins to get the opportunity

299
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: to even play. It wasn't in the cards. It wasn't.

300
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: It wasn't set up for kirk Cousins to be a starter.

301
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: He was going to be a backup until he probably

302
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 3: left in free agency and went somewhere else after he

303
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 3: was done in Washington. It just happened to be. You know,

304
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: RG three injured his knee and couldn't stay healthy after that.

305
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: Like literally, he could not stay healthy after he injured

306
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: his knee in that in that playoff game. So it

307
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: was it was an opportunistic moment for Kirk Cousins. Does

308
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: that opportunity come for for Shador Sanders, it's it's to

309
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: me if it plays out where again, like Q isn't

310
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: here to say it, but we've said it enough. If

311
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: one of these guys doesn't get the starting job, are

312
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: they really gonna actually ask to be released to go

313
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: somewhere else? Like to me, I don't see how that

314
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 3: makes sense. If I'm Kenny Pickett, if I'm on this

315
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: roster and I'm set to be a backup on this

316
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: roster to an old ass Joe Flacco, why would I

317
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: ask for Why would I ask for a release to

318
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: go somewhere else? And what's the guarantee that you're gonna

319
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 3: get picked up by another team that's gonna put you

320
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: in a situation that could be as advantageous as the

321
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: one you're in right now? How has that happened? So,

322
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: if I'm Kenny Pickett, I'm not asking for a release.

323
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna play my role as the backup

324
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: until I get an opportunity. There's two ways I can

325
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: get on this field right now. One Joe Flacco doesn't

326
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: hold up. Two Joe Flacco doesn't play well. That's how

327
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: I can get on the field. So I'm gonna just

328
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 3: buy my time. But as it applies to the two rookies,

329
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm just I cannot I cannot rest logic on the

330
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: idea that a fifth rounder is going to outperform and

331
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: play and get enough time and enough reps to outperform

332
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: the third rounder. The third rounder is going to be

333
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 3: given the reps, the backup is going to be given

334
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 3: the reps, and the starter is going to get the

335
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: lion's share of the reps. So I don't see how

336
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: the odd man out is the fifth round pick. They're

337
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: going to have to play him because he's the on

338
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: Oh he's e'sha door Sanders, and the situation is what

339
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: it is, but it's it's got to be considered a

340
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: long shot for him to be able to make this

341
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: meteoric rise up the depth chart to being the starting

342
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 3: quarterback in Cleveland like that, to me, it's a pipe dream,

343
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 3: if I'm being totally honest.

344
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: And if you just take a step back and look

345
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: at it, it all goes back to ground zero, which

346
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: is everybody's been putting a tough spot. So Kevin Stefanski's

347
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: been putting a tough spot, Joe Flacco's been putt in

348
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: a tough spot. Kenny Pickett's been putting a tough spot.

349
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 2: Shod Or Sanders and Dylan Gabriel been putting a tough spot,

350
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: and they've all been putt in a tough spot because

351
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson put everybody in a tough spot.

352
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 4: And it was Jimmy.

353
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: Haslam who put everybody involved in the tough spot by

354
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: making the move to bring in to Shaun Watson and

355
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: it failing completely from the get go, Like it just

356
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: so now they're just sort of scrambling to try and

357
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: figure out what direction to go, and they've got a

358
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 2: bunch of the same thing all in the room and

359
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: everyone looking around and going, Okay, I guess this is

360
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: how we're doing it.

361
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: It's just it's bizarre, man, really.

362
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: All if all this and that and the way things

363
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: have been handled leads to Shador Sanders starting as the

364
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns at face value, it

365
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: will be the biggest story in all of the NFL,

366
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: and good luck to him. Like it's a great situation

367
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 3: in the sense that if you're a fifth rounder, this

368
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 3: would be the situation I would want to be in.

369
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: Like you got an old man, you got a backup unproven,

370
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: and he Shador probably feels like he's a better ball

371
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 3: player than Dylan Gabriel. So but Dylan Gabriel is a baller,

372
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 3: and maybe he's undersized, but the dude's a baller. He

373
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 3: won the Big Ten, made it to the college playoffs,

374
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 3: like was a successful quarter back in college. Like like,

375
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: let's not downplay Dylan Gabriel for the sake of, you know,

376
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: trying to hype up, you know, Shador Sanders, Like, let's

377
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: see who wins the job.

378
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and

379

Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

382
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts, the tight end for the Atlanta Falcons, is

383
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: dealing with a little bit of an issue, and Raheem Morris,

384
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: Raheem Morris, he actually spoke about Kyle Pitts and not

385
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: being available dealing with some sort of an undisclosed injury

386
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: yesterday at OTA's extremely.

387
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 7: Cautious with Kyle right now and what's got what's got

388
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 7: going on? Obviously, you know, talk about injuries this time

389
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 7: of year, but definitely being cautious with them so you

390
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 7: won't see him. He's been here. He's done such a

391
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 7: great job of all stuff that we'd asked him. He's

392
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 7: been in every single meeting, he's been in every single

393
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 7: thing that we've done other than the field, and he's

394
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 7: been absolutely outstanding to be around.

395
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting, all of a sudden, an undisclosed injury

396
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: for Kyle Pitts. And then you look around and you go, gosh,

397
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: sure are a lot of trade rumors involving Kyle Pitts

398
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: around the league, A guy who was drafted very high

399
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: but just hasn't quite lived up, even though he's shown

400
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: flashes to his potential there in Atlanta.

401
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 4: And I just wonder, is.

402
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: This undisclosed injury that he's dealing with code for Well,

403
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: we just don't want to get him hurt before we

404
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: end up trading the guy. And we're having conversations with people.

405
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: Maybe he's got the uh. Maybe this is the hyper

406
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: extended trade bait injury that's going on here. Maybe that's

407
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: what it is. Because I don't buy for one second

408
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: that Kyle Pitts has got some sort of an undis

409
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: closed injury. I think the Atlanta Falcons are trying to

410
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: make a deal and they're just keeping him out of

411
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: harm's way so they can execute this deal sooner rather

412
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: than later.

413
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 4: What do you think of that?

414
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: Bar Uh, it's not a horrible it's not a horrible theory.

415
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: Can I get a little bit of an endorsement?

416
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: It's not a horrible theory. I'll say this full awareness.

417
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: His contract does run out this year, and I think

418
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: that it's a matter of getting a contract extension done

419
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: at the least an extension or a new contract deal

420
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: done before you start putting him out there. I think

421
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: it might be as simple as that. So you think

422
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: it's more of an extension and not it's a negotiation.

423
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he's speaking very highly of him, and listen,

424
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: Rahiem is a players coach. The players love him. He's

425
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: a relatable dude. So he's not going to say anything

426
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: crazy about col Pits unless it was really necessary. So

427
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: it could be a smoke screen to be able to

428
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: keep his value high and maybe see that a trade

429
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 3: suitor would would jump at it. I mean, there's certainly

430
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: people that could use him, there's teams that could use

431
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: use his services. But I think that he would be

432
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: one hundred percent valued as an Atlanta Falcon. And you

433
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: know he doesn't have a contract beyond this year. His

434
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 3: contract runs.

435
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 4: Out, so you think he's going to get a deal.

436
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: I think he's going to get a deal. His sticks

437
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: picks bam.

438
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 4: I think he's going to get traded.

439
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: I mean they picked line, they picked up his they

440
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: picked up his fifth year option in twenty four in April,

441
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: they picked up his fifth year option. So I just

442
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: you know, I think he's going to he wants a deal.

443
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: I think he'll redo a deal. I think that that's

444
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: what they're waiting on it. They'll have a deal done.

445
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: By the way, one of the great fantasy football team

446
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: of all time as Kyle Pitts. You just assume he's

447
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: going to put up monster numbers and for some reason

448
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: it has not worked out. It is just not panned

449
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: out the way everybody thought it was. So we'll keep

450
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: you posted. But those are our picks, calling our shot

451
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: and Kyle Pitts.

Speaker 6: You know how long?

468
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: A little while at.

469
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 6: Wile You know what, LeVar, You get a lot of

470
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 6: airtime that way. Then, because I know Brady, I know

471
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 6: Brady Brady. You know, we used to call it like

472
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 6: Brady would intercept. It would go okay, the host would

473
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 6: say something, then Brady would say something, and then it'd

474
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 6: come to me or whoever on the end. And then

475
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 6: always before it went back to the host, Brady had

476
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 6: intercept it and make his final points. You know what

477
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 6: I mean. He never played he never played dB in

478
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 6: his life, but he always knew how to intercept when

479
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 6: he was when it comes to sit on the deck,

480
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that right now. You know what I say, LeVar,

481
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 6: what's good for me is good for me, and so

482
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 6: Brady's not there, it's good for you. You get more air.

483
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: Right, So, Pete, I got like listening to Jonas, you know,

484
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: that's all Pete.

485
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: I got to ask you a I got to ask

486
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: you a question because I wanted you to just further

487
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: explain something that you put on social media. I was

488
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: looking at one are your tweets from from Pete Prisco

489
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: Prisco CBS on X quote, it's that time of the year.

490
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: Every player at OTA's is in the best shape of

491
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: his life. Every surgery they had has been a success.

492
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: They are all ready to take the next step. And

493
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: even lollipop throws on air make this app droole. It's

494
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: boys of summertime, no pads, no tell I mean, what

495
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: sets you off in that direction?

496
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 6: Because every single day on Twitter or x every single day,

497
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 6: somebody is getting lauded for the way they look, or

498
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 6: how great or shape they're in, or this through they

499
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 6: put the video of a throw. Look at this guy,

500
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 6: he's throwing great, He's throwing one on one with nobody

501
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 6: covering anybody. I mean, give me a break. And so

502
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 6: it's just always been that way. I remember way back

503
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 6: in the day when I covered the Jaguars in the nineties,

504
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 6: this guy showed up and he was a wide receiver

505
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 6: and he came in and he was making all these

506
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 6: plays and he's talking all this smack, and then the

507
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 6: veterans came in. They said, wait, we get them in pads.

508
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 6: And as soon as you got him pads, he disappeared.

509
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 6: And so I just think that we get so enamored

510
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 6: with what's going on, and the reality is you can't

511
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: read anything into this. Nobody can hit, nobody can get

512
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 6: real physical. We don't know what they're doing because you

513
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 6: don't know if and I have many a quarterback when

514
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 6: I traveled around my training camp tours and talking to

515
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 6: guys and saying, look, if I don't know why they

516
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 6: chart passes in training camp, I might work on something

517
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 6: here where I wouldn't even do it in a game,

518
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 6: just to see if it might work and if it's intercepted,

519
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 6: oh well, And yet here we are charting plays. I

520
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 6: saw the other day at a Cleveland Browns camp they

521
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 6: charted the throws of the quarterbacks. What are we doing?

522
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: It's crazy, they say, look like Tarzan Gang like Jane

523
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: that was.

524
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 6: You know, LeVar you know how it is. And by

525
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 6: the way, and by the way, having said all that,

526
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be at Bucksmith of Ota practice today was

527
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 6: here go get it.

528
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: Think another Bucks practice. There's a Sanders on the Bucks team,

529
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: so that'd be interesting to see how you know he's performing.

530
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: But I guess I want to ask you, Pete in

531
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: terms of am I wrong? You know, the coach Dion

532
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: Sanders came out, had to say what he had to

533
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: say about the situation with with Shador Am I wrong

534
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: for saying? Can we take the name out of the pick?

535
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: You're the fourth or fourth? I would want to say

536
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: fourth pick of the fifth round? There was a quarterback

537
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 3: taken in the third round they brought into free agents.

538
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: There's Deshaun Watson. That's like whatever his situation is? Am

539
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: I wrong for saying? If you take out and you

540
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 3: remove the name from that fifth round pick? What is

541
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: the likelihood of a fifth rounder surpassing a third rounder

542
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: that's first, first, and foremost, which is the largest one,

543
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: that's the biggest one. How does a fifth rounder overtake

544
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: a third rounder for one and then two? How does

545
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: a fifth rounder overtake that third rounder then overtake the

546
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: backup then overtake the starter to become the starter of

547
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: the team. How I mean, if you take the name

548
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: away from it and you look at it at its

549
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: bare minimum and exercise common sense, it doesn't make any sense. Pete,

550
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: Can you make it make sense for me? How should

551
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: we be looking at this Because to me, I'm not

552
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: going to look at it as it's Shador Sanders. I'm

553
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: going to look at it as this was a fifth

554
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 3: round draft pick. What are his his you know, possibilities

555
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: in terms of being a player on this team.

556
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 6: And I can guarantee you LeVar sentence exactly how the

557
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 6: Cleveland Browns are looking at it. I mean you made

558
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 6: the point. Look, Dylan Gabriel is picked in the third

559
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 6: round ahead of him for a reason. They clearly thought

560
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 6: he was a better prospect and a better player and

561
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 6: had the attention to be a better quarterback. Now that's

562
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 6: not to sit here and say that mishad Or Sanders

563
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 6: can't go in there and now play them. He can

564
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 6: and he has that opportunity. But when you look at

565
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 6: it on the surface, if his name wasn't Sanders and

566
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 6: it was something else, he'd be a fifth round pick

567
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 6: that everybody would sit there and say, oh, boy, I

568
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 6: hope he plays well enough to maybe even make the team.

569
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 6: That's the reality of it. And now they're talking about,

570
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 6: like you said, going past Dylan Gabriel, going past Picket,

571
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 6: going past Joe Flacco. I mean, let's get real. And sometimes,

572
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 6: you know, we put so much into this stuff before

573
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 6: the process, and when the guy goes in the fifth round,

574
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 6: everybody goes, oh, he got it. Nobody they didn't draft

575
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 6: him because of his dad. They didn't draft them because

576
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 6: of this. They didn't draft them because it fits around,

577
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 6: because that's what they thought of them. You know, I

578
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 6: was on with a guy when they did draft him,

579
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 6: one of our analysts, and he said, oh, they got

580
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 6: one over on Pittsburgh. I said, they got one over

581
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 6: on Pittsburgh. If Pittsburgh wanted them, they could have drafted

582
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 6: him anytime they wanted to. Nobody wanted to pick him

583
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 6: until the fifth round. And that's why the fifth round

584
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 6: pick period.

585
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 2: He is Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio,

586
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: CBS Sports HQ analyst, also a columnist for CBS Sports

587
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: as well too, and you can get him on ex

588
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: at Prisco CBS. All right, so then let me ask

589
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: you this because Russell Wilson, speaking of Pittsburgh, was the

590
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: Steelers quarterback last year. He goes on with this podcast

591
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: with Carmelo Anthony. He's talking about all the reasons that

592
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: he liked the Giants. You know, he's familiar with the

593
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: locker room because that's where he won a super Bowl

594
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: at MetLife. Malik neighbors Brian Dayball and his you know,

595
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: his acumen when it comes to calling plays as an

596
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: offensive mind. Isn't though, the real reason that he's in

597
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: New York with the Giants because the Steelers didn't want

598
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: him anymore.

599
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 6: Nor did anybody else except for the Giants. I mean,

600
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 6: let's be real. And by the way, the whole locker

601
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 6: room thing, give me a break. I won a super

602
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 6: Bowl there, so I'm familiar with it. Well that's why

603
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 6: you went there, Come on, But he said some of

604
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 6: the weirdest stuff. It makes no sense to me. He

605
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 6: went there because they gave him an opportunity to play

606
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 6: and be a quarterback on their team. And maybe not

607
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 6: for the long haul, but for right away he will

608
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 6: be probably be their starting quarterback on opening day. And

609
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 6: so that's why you went there. Why can't you just

610
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 6: say that. Why can't I just be honest about it.

611
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 6: I didn't have a lot of opportunities elsewhere. The Steelers

612
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 6: didn't want me back, and I decided to go to

613
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: the Giants. And that's fine, that's what you did. But

614
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 6: don't say it's because of the locker room and you

615
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 6: had elite neighbors and everything else. They wanted you. You

616
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 6: came to a deal, you went there. It had nothing

617
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 6: to do with anything else.

618
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 3: Pete bringing that fult today.

619
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: I mean, let's what did Russell Wilson do to you, Peet?

620
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 6: Nothing? I just I just I just always look, I look,

621
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you. Back in the day, I

622
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 6: always thought he was a little overrated. And uh and

623
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 6: and you know, I kind of stood in that hill

624
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 6: and he had a couple of good years and people

625
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 6: came back at me, and and then the reality is

626
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 6: is he has been overrated. So just you are what

627
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 6: you are. You know, look, he's a good, solid quarterback.

628
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 6: I never thought he was a great quarterback. And so sometimes,

629
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 6: like I say, he had the top scoring defense in

630
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 6: the league four straight years in Seattle. You know, the

631
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 6: last team to do that was the fifties dynasty of

632
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 6: the Browns. I mean, it makes playing quarterback a lot easier.

633
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 6: And and based on that, one time I went around

634
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 6: asking a lot of quarterbacks that summer, what would you

635
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 6: rather have the top rank scoring defense, or or two

636
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 6: good wide receivers, And every single one of them said

637
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 6: the top rank.

638
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: Scoringah, it makes your life easier, absolutely. Pete uh speaking

639
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: of top scoring, what's your take on Stephan diggs Man? Like,

640
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: start wherever you want to start, and wherever you like,

641
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: you know, you take it how you want to take it.

642
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, tucy man, come.

643
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 6: On, come on, what is he doing? First off, why

644
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 6: would you even be around if that is indeed what

645
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 6: that was? And we don't know that's what it was.

646
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 6: It sure looked like it. But if it was, why

647
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 6: even be around it? I mean, they you know, if

648
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 6: he was not doing it, which is you know, probably

649
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 6: maybe he did. Maybe he'll testament find out. But why

650
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 6: would you if that's what that was, why would you

651
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 6: be in your even be around it? It makes no sense.

652
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 6: Why would you be the one handing it out? I

653
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 6: don't get it. And I know, look, you get caught

654
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 6: up in the in the whole Hollywood lifestyle and whatever,

655
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 6: and and you get two enamored into that and maybe, maybe,

656
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 6: just maybe he wasn't doing it. He just got caught

657
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 6: up in and handed it off. Who knows, But he's

658
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 6: got to be better than that. And not only that,

659
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 6: you're coming off the thirty one and you're coming off

660
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 6: a major injury, I mean thirty one and coming off

661
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 6: a major injury wide receiver is never a good thing.

662
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 6: It's never a good thing when you have stuff going

663
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 6: on as well. So it was an ugly look for him,

664
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 6: h you know, And should it have happened? No, But again,

665
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 6: we don't know what that was. We have an idea

666
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 6: you think it is, but we I'm you know, I've

667
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 6: never seen that stuff, and neither of any of you,

668
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 6: I would imagine, So I just you know, who knows.

669
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 6: And by the way, I did do research on it,

670
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 6: just to look it up. It didn't cocaine. You know,

671
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: people think it's pink cocaine. That's not what it is.

672
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: Well, I was going to ask your pete, like when

673
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 2: whatever you do to see like, what are the side effects?

674
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 4: Is it similar to what you know?

675
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 6: All right, party all night and get up the next

676
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 6: day and do it all over again. I mean, it's

677
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 6: like you know, no, I read, I read, I read,

678
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 6: I read what it was. You know what it is.

679
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 6: It's it's like some synthetic drug that has ketamine in

680
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 6: it and like Molly, and it keeps you up all

681
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 6: night partying and everything else. And I just don't know.

682
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 6: I don't understand why he would even be around that.

683
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 6: It makes no sense to me. So, I mean, I

684
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 6: could see when he gave it away. I saw how

685
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 6: happy is his audience was, so maybe that had something

686
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 6: to do with it. But I just don't understand why

687
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 6: he would even be around that. And by the way,

688
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 6: I want to see how the Patriots handle this, because

689
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 6: remember it's Mike Rabel. It's a whole new regime, and

690
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 6: you know they're not going to tolerate anything. Well, we'll see,

691
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 6: because he wandered onto the practice field yesterday and didn't

692
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 6: seem like there are any repercussions, did there.

693
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 2: Jordan Schultz's buddy Ian Rappafort said that they're not expected

694
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: to release Stefon Diggs. You know, they don't expect for

695
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: him to get cut or anything like that.

696
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

697
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 6: I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't. But the only thing that

698
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 6: would get him cut would be if he didn't look

699
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 6: like Stefan Diggs. Yeah, that's real. I mean that the

700
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 6: reality is, you know. And look, he was in Buffalo.

701
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 6: He was a pain of the ass. And I can

702
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 6: tell you this from being there and last summer they

703
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 6: were thought it was additioned by subtraction. When he was gone,

704
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 6: I mean, he became, you know, a guy that wanted

705
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 6: the ball all the time, and Josh Allen would you know,

706
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 6: lock in on him and he'd hear it from him

707
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 6: all the time. And not that they didn't have a

708
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 6: good relationship, because they liked each other. But that gets

709
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 6: annoying after a while, and then it bleeds over to

710
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 6: the other receivers. I mean, go back to Gabe Davis,

711
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 6: by the way, go back to Gave Davis in that

712
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 6: playoff game against the Chiefs way back in the day.

713
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 6: Remember how he looked like he was going to be

714
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 6: an emerging star. Yea, Well, well what happened to him? Well,

715
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 6: you know, I think he got Digs a little bit.

716
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 6: I think he got into that, you know, in the

717
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 6: fact that he was like, you know, I thought he

718
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 6: had arrived and he didn't. And so he goes to Jacksonville,

719
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 6: and you know, gets heavy, he got hurt a little bit,

720
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 6: and one of the same player now he's out there,

721
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 6: and so I think sometimes, you know, you like having

722
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 6: a wide receiver who wants the ball. And by the way,

723
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 6: they all want the ball. I mean, you know, I

724
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 6: go back to when I covered Jacksonville back to day

725
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 6: they had Jimmy Smith. It was a great, great, great,

726
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 6: great receiver who would have been a Hall of Famer

727
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 6: if his career and did derailed by you know, failed tests.

728
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 6: And Keenan McCardell. And Keenan was great too, And I

729
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 6: used to tell Keenan, I go, you're meaning because he

730
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 6: wanted the ball time. Then he went to Tampa and

731
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 6: it was keys Sean and Keenan and they won the

732
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. And I always used to say it was

733
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 6: me Sean and Meanan playing wide.

734
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 3: Hey, howing Jimmy Smith together was pretty wild though. That

735
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: was pretty much.

736
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 6: God they were. They were fantastic. Keenan McCardell, by the way,

737
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 6: now the wide receiver coach who but who actually was

738
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 6: there when a big part of Stephan Diggs development is

739
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 6: a wide receiver coach of the Minnesota Viking's one of

740
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 6: the best in the business. Uh, and he still would

741
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 6: complain about not getting the football.

742
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: That's the coach, Pete, Pete, I want to ask you

743
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: because this seems like a bunch of crap to me.

744
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts has an undisclosed injury and is not working

745
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: out with the Atlanta Falcons. And I think they're keeping

746
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: him safe because they're trying to trade him.

747
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: What say you?

748
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 6: They are trying to trade him and uh, but you

749
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 6: know what, there there's I don't think there's going to

750
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 6: be as a robust to market as they think it

751
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 6: might be out there. And look, everybody thought Kyle Pitts

752
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 6: had the tools, the talent, the skills to be a

753
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 6: big time tight end in this league. But he's not tough.

754
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 6: Let's be real. I mean that that's the knock on

755
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 6: him around the league. He's not tough, and that they

756
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 6: concerned about that, and so I want you want to

757
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 6: you know, he gets knocked around a little bit and

758
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 6: that's that's that's the knock on him around the league.

759
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 6: And so yeah, I don't think he has an injury.

760
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 6: I think they're sitting him on the sideline and uh

761
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 6: and letting them hope somebody makes a move. To go

762
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 6: get him. And and by the way, there's some guys

763
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 6: that you know, Jalen Ramsey's sitting there to be traded too.

764
00:42:54,920 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 6: I mean, Miami totally bots Miami boughts that situation. Miami did.

765
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 6: Miami gave him a new contract last year, then paid

766
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 6: them a four million dollar roster bonus in March, and

767
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 6: now they want to trade them. Miami's a disaster that team.

768
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 6: They gave out all these extensions last year, threw them

769
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 6: around like nothing, and they're a disaster. And now Jalen

770
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 6: Ramsey is sitting there. Who's going to trade for Jalen

771
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: Ramsey in that contract unless Miami eats a bunch of it?

772
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 6: And will they be willing to eat a bunch of it?

773
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? H Pete. Did you see the question that was

774
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 3: asked to the receiver and Jamar Chase and Cincinnati about

775
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: preseason and the correlation of slow starts based off of

776
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 3: this new trend of how preseasons are being handled, Like

777
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: what what do you subscribe to?

778
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 6: Like?

779
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 3: What was your takeaway on that? Because to me, I've

780
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 3: always felt like preseason is a necessary evil. You gotta

781
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: feel what it feels like to tackle, you gotta feel

782
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: what it feels like to beled. You got to feel

783
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: what that the physicality of the game feels like in

784
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: order to get yourself ready for the regular season. Now,

785
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: I say that limited, right, first, first game limited, you know,

786
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: second game a little more. Third game you've you've played

787
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 3: into the second half and then you know you come out.

788
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 3: Now there's not the same amount of games anymore. But

789
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 3: what's your take on on how the preseason should be

790
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 3: handled by these pros and these coaches.

791
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 6: You're one hundred percent spot on. By the way, they

792
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 6: don't hit in camp anymore, barely. They don't tackle in

793
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 6: camp ever. And so if you don't play in the preseason,

794
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 6: by the time you play an opening week, that's the

795
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 6: first time you're having any contact or tackling. And that's

796
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 6: why if you look at the tackling in the first

797
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 6: month of the season, horrible. And they can do all

798
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 6: the drills they want on angles, and you know they

799
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 6: have dummies and electronic dummies they work on angles. Give

800
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 6: me a break, it's not the same. And you played

801
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 6: the game of our you know that you got to hit,

802
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,479
Speaker 6: got to be and I think you know they've gotten

803
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 6: away from that. The fear of injury is become magnified

804
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 6: to the point where they're not getting the good fundamentals

805
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 6: in and I think it's hurtinged the gate. I mean,

806
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 6: when was the last time you've gone to a practice

807
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 6: in training camp and watched nine on seven the middle drill.

808
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 6: They don't do it anymore.

809
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: They don't.

810
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 6: Nobody lined up on the goal line and hits nobody.

811
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 6: It's it's minimal hitting, it's pass and tapping. But I'm

812
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 6: talking about a full on hitting drill. They don't do it.

813
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 6: And then so then they wonder what's wrong with the

814
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 6: offensive line. Well, offensive lines have to work together and

815
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 6: again go back to the dummies. You can work a

816
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 6: double team to the next level when you're working against

817
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 6: the dummy or your fellow offensive linemen who's standing there

818
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 6: like a load of a lump of you know, large there,

819
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 6: and you can get to them easily instead of a

820
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 6: two hundred and eighty pounds defensive tackle who can move.

821
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 6: Let's see how you handle that when you're trying to

822
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 6: get off him. Hope, you're you know, you're the tackle.

823
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 6: You get off him, get to the next level and

824
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 6: you think your guard has them handled, but he's quick enough.

825
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 6: The nights through and make the play. You don't know

826
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 6: how you're going to handle that, And so I think

827
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 6: that all the fundamentals of football have gone out the

828
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 6: window because we're so protective of the players now. Sometimes

829
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 6: you need to just go hit, you need to just

830
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 6: go tackle, and if you're not going to do it

831
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 6: in the preseason, you have to find a way to

832
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 6: do it somewhere, because I think when you get the

833
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,479
Speaker 6: Week one and you have it tackled and you haven't

834
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 6: been hit, and you haven't been jammed at the line

835
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 6: of scrimmage and thrown to the ground, I think that's

836
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 6: where we're losing a lot of the good football early

837
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 6: in the season.

838
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: Pete, before I let you go, just wanted to get

839
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 2: a prediction from you. Obviously, the your Florida Panthers are

840
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: taking on my Edmonton Oilers, and I know Lebar and

841
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 2: I are big Oilers fans, so I just wanted to

842
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: know how you thought that's you are?

843
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bar and I.

844
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 6: Both No, you're not. LeVar is not LeVar is not it.

845
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 6: LaVar is not an Edmonton Oiler. Say he couldn't name

846
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 6: one player on it.

847
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: Penn and Caps, give me, give me, give.

848
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 6: Me, give me an Edmonton oiler player, LeVar.

849
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 3: I told you I'm Pins and Caps, I'm Penguins, okay.

850
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 6: But you still shouldn't be able to give me an

851
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 6: ed You still should be able to give me an

852
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 6: Edmonnton oiler player.

853
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 3: No, I shouldn't. I don't, I don't watch.

854
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 6: He's the best player in the world.

855
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 3: Connor McDavis, I'm today years old when I knew that,

856
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 3: today years old.

857
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 6: He's the best player to work And Jony, you're not

858
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 6: You're not, You're not a Edmonton oiler.

859
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: No.

860
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just trying to get you get your okay.

861
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 4: By the way, bitting fire.

862
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 6: Off, how long has it been since Canada won a

863
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 6: Stanley Cup?

864
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: Was it ninety three? Was it the Canadians last time.

865
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 6: It's been a long, long, long, long time. And you

866
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 6: know what, it's going to be another long, long year

867
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 6: because Florida is a better team. They're tougher, they're more physical,

868
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 6: and we saw last year what happens when you're physical

869
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 6: that the Edmonton Oilers team, they go hide and they're

870
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 6: going to beat him up. No, Zach Heyman is big

871
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 6: for Edmonton. Uh And the depth of the Florida Panthers

872
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 6: is way too much and they beat him up, they'll

873
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 6: beat him in six six games, not gonna go seven

874
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 6: this time around to beat him in six.

875
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 2: Look at that hockey analysis, Pete, Prisco there, I will.

876
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 6: Tell you about Kinner. The goalie has been playing well.

877
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 6: I'm a little he's played well for for Edmonton. But

878
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 6: you know what, before he started playing really well, he

879
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 6: was going really bad. So I think he's gonna gave

880
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 6: a chance to go really rotten. And Lebroston never goes.

881
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 4: Are you going to get to a You're going to

882
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 4: get to a game in Sunrise? There, Pete? You get

883
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 4: a ticket too?

884
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 6: Maybe because I'm going out to training camp, I mean

885
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 6: the mini camp next week, so I don't know. Maybe,

886
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 6: but I will definitely be glued to every single one

887
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 6: of them. I love it. I can't wait.

888
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: There he is, get him on x at Prisco, CBS,

889
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 2: your NFL Calumnist, the CBS Sports CB Economy.

890
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 6: That's in the world of our Connommicavid.

891
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 3: I won't remember people will I will not use my

892
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 3: my brain cells to commit that to memory.
