1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Wednesday, Dan and The 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Once again, to reiterate what I 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: said to open the show, I'm celebrating Tiger today. Tiger's alive. 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: What happened a year ago, in three weeks, that was 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: when Kobe passed away. Celebrate Tiger today. He may never 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: play golf again. We'll get to that conversation. We'll get 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: to that. It's an unanswerable question today, Tiger going to 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: play today. It used to be it's not a question 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: of if he's going to play again, but when he's 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: going to play again. I don't even want to ask 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: that question today. But historically he's all set. To me, 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: he's the greatest golfer of all time. It's not like 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: he's twenty five. He's forty five. And what happened yesterday, 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: I think we all had that moment where where you 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: were and trying to get information and you weren't quite 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: sure what was going on. And I remember that we 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: were texting amongst ourselves here, the Danets, and we were 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: just trying to get any information whatsoever, and then all 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was non life threatening, and that's 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: all I needed to know. And if he doesn't play again, 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: I have certainly been lucky to be around this to 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, have the ability to you know, from the 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: start of his career maybe to the end of his career. 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: He owes us nothing. He's given us everything, and he 26 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: gave us the twenty nineteen Masters, and that's what I wanted, 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: one more time, one more trip down Victory Lane, and 28 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: he gave that to us. Hopefully he's healthy to be 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: able to have a normal life, and I don't know 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: what he's thinking. I don't know if Tiger goes boy 31 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back out there, or I'm 32 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: going to prove them wrong or whatever, you know, determination 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: he needs incentive. I don't think he's thinking about golf today. 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm not speculating one iota on 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: any of this. Police report will come out, We'll find 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: out what was going on in the car, how fast 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: he was going, misjudged a turn. He's alive today, and 38 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: that's why we should be celebrating, because it felt like yesterday, 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: even when we knew that it was non life threatening, 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: it felt like this obituary, this eulogy, and I kept thinking, 41 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: he's alive, he has two beautiful kids. I believe he 42 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: still has a long term girlfriend, and he's got the 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: rest of his life. And that's the key word life. 44 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: And I was you know it, I've been around this 45 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: so long, and there's so many times where the Cleveland 46 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: Indians spring training and you had three pitchers who were 47 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: on a boat and they died, Steve Olan, Tim Cruise, 48 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: Bobby Ohida survived. And I remember going on the air 49 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: that night and just thinking about their children. You know 50 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: what happened with Kobe the Oklahoma State plane crash a 51 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Like you just have these moments. 52 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: Dale Earnhart Senior, Dale Earnhart Junior's plane crash and he survived. 53 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: His dad did not. So when it comes to this 54 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: and we always want them to come back, you hope 55 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: they come back. I'm just glad they're back in the 56 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: truest sense of being alive. And that's why if we 57 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: have information, I'll certainly bring that to you, But until then, 58 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: I hope that we just celebrate that's all, that we 59 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: just remember great things about Tiger Woods, but also remember 60 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: as a person, because that's what this is all about today, 61 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: not Tiger the golfer. Tiger the person. Tiger Woods is 62 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: alive today. I'm okay with that. May never play golf, 63 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: may never play high end golf, I don't know, but 64 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: he's alive today. Eight seven seven three d P Show 65 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle 66 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: at DPS show. Coming up, Mike Florio will join us 67 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: on loan from Pro Football Talk. There is a lot 68 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: of talk about this seventeenth regular season game, but we 69 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: still don't have any of you know, finalized details terms 70 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: on this. And I was told this morning this is 71 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: all about TV money. How much money is going to 72 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: be available for the players, and the players will get 73 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: a seventeenth check during the regular season, a seventeenth game check. 74 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: And still trying to finalize their new TV deal, but 75 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: that's what I was told it comes down to. So 76 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: we'll talk to Florio about that coming up. Also, it's 77 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: really special and I'm glad that, you know, Sandler and 78 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Christopher McDonald are still joining us, because I didn't know 79 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: if they were worried about the sensitivity of what happened 80 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: with Tiger and joining us and celebrating the twenty fifth 81 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: anniversary of Happy Gilmore. So I'm happy that Shooter McGavin 82 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: and Happy Gilmore are going to join us coming up 83 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: in a little more than an hour from now. That's, 84 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, approaching this show today, I wasn't sure how 85 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: to approach it, and you know, we kept sorting through, 86 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, the sensitivity part of this is there somebody 87 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: to have on to talk about Tiger. And then the 88 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: more I thought about it, I don't need to reminisce 89 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: about Tiger. He's still here. I got my memories. You 90 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: have your memories. That's powerful, and I thought, I don't 91 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's going to advance the story for us, 92 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: And that's why I thought, let's just approach the show 93 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: like we would normally approach the show. And Fritzie did 94 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: a great job in getting Christopher McDonald, Shooter McGavin, and 95 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler to join us. And we'll reminisce about that 96 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: movie and have some laps coming up in the final 97 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: hour of the show. But those are some of the headlines. 98 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger plans on playing. I don't know if the 99 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: Steelers plan on Ben playing for them, but Eddie greatly 100 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: reduced salary. Seems like Ben is coming back. The NFL 101 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: Network reported yesterday Ben is expected to return to the 102 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: Steelers for the twenty twenty one season. The story was 103 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: confirmed by Big Ben's agent. I guess the Steelers wanting back. 104 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: They're going to figure out how to make the numbers work. 105 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: And the major question was, you know, Ben going into 106 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: this season a massive cap hit, but it sounds like 107 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: he'd gone from forty one million dollars maybe down to 108 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: nineteen million dollars. He had decent numbers last year. I 109 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: just never thought they were threatening on offense. Now it 110 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: would help if his receivers held onto the football. But 111 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: they started out eleven and oh last year, and then 112 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: they lost in the wild card game against the Browns, 113 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: and Ben had his moments, but by the end of 114 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: the season, he just looked old and tired. He looked 115 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: like and somebody his age playing quarterback in the NFL. 116 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: Not everybody as Tom Brady. But the first couple of 117 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: months Steelers look good, but it felt hollow when they 118 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: went to eleven and oh. And Ben used to be 119 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: so dangerous with big plays, but now everything in the 120 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: NFL is underneath. Tom Brady may have won a Super Bowl, 121 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean quarterbacks don't get old and act old. 122 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: And you know the shape of Ben's arm next season, 123 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: the shape of Ben next season. If the reports are true, 124 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: then we'll see him in a familiar uniform at least 125 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: one more time. And look, I'm on record is saying this. 126 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: I think this sets the Steelers back. I think the Steelers. 127 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Steelers need to decide what direction are we going in 128 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: with our next quarterback. You got to find your quarterback. 129 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: And it feels like now I know that there's a 130 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: rush to judgment. There's very little patience going on in 131 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. You get two years, maybe three years to 132 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: prove yourself and that's it. I mean, Josh Rosen didn't 133 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: even get that. Two of may not even get that. 134 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: In Miami, it's did we get our guy? Not sure 135 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: about our guy? Okay, now what do we do? Look 136 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: at the Eagles, Carson Wentz. We're gonna go up and 137 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: get him. All in on Carson. We're not all in 138 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz. Now we got to get rid of 139 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Now it's Jalen Hurts. Well maybe not. Now 140 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: you get reports that the Eagles might be taking a 141 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: quarterback with the sixth pick overall? Did the Steelers take 142 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: our quarterback? That's what's going on in the NFL, and 143 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: it feels like teams would rather act too soon than 144 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: too late. And like, what's Tampa do with Tom Brady? 145 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: As strange as that may sound, like do you extend Tom? 146 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: What are you doing with your future? Here is Bruce 147 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: arians attached to Tom Brady? Like do you does any 148 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: what do you think about what you know Tampa is 149 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: going to do? Is Tom going to be able to 150 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: play three more years? I don't know. I mean we 151 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: assume he will, but at some point you gotta go. 152 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: Do we need to have a backup quarterback? What is 153 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: our plan? The Saints at least had one in processing, 154 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, in progress with Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill. I 155 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: don't know if Tampa needs When do you do that? Yeah? 156 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: He did? You see yesterday Shifter a bunch of waves 157 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: saying that if Drew Brees had retired that Tom Brady 158 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: would have probably signed with or might have signed with 159 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: the Saints instead, Which I don't know if that was 160 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: he saying that he's hearing that or is he just 161 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: saying it's possible that he did there's a little blurry 162 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: there about is he reporting that or is he speculating that. 163 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: I don't know, But if Jay Glazer said it, then 164 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: I would know that it came from Sean Payton. You know, 165 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: So there's certain like if something happens with Steelers and 166 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Jay Glazer reports it, then I believe it because I 167 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: believe there's a pipeline there to Mike Tomlin. I believe 168 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: there's a pipeline there to Sean Payton, certain teams, certain reporters, 169 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: certain insiders. Then I go, there's you know, there's a 170 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: little more credibility there. Yeah, McLevin. So the Saints missed 171 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: out on Patrick Mahomes in a draft by one pick, 172 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: you said, yes, and they missed out on Brady this year? Well, 173 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: I wondered if Drew was coming back. But then with Sean, like, 174 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: how do you how do you tell your franchise quarterback 175 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: who means so much to that city? I mean, imagine 176 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: if if Sean Payton knew that Tom Brady could be available, 177 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: having that conversation with Drew Brees and with Shawn view, 178 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady as that much of an upgrade over Drew Brees. 179 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think that Sean Payton is 180 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: always you know, like what's next, Who's next? What do 181 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: we do? We gotta the fact that he was good. 182 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: He was going to draft Mahomes three years ago. How 183 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: crazy would that be? And then what do you do 184 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: with Drew Brees? Yah? See you imagine that moment of 185 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: Sean Payton sitting there and he's just like, I don't 186 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: know do we want Brady? We got Jamis sitting here. 187 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: I just don't know. Yeah, Paul. The other team I'm 188 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: fascinated by is where you got a good quarterback. You 189 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: have a good quarterback, but you don't have a great 190 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: quarterback the Atlanta Falcons, you know, after the loss in 191 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Matt Ryan has not been a Pro 192 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: Bowl quarterback. He hasn't made the Pro Bowl and he 193 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: was MVP in sixteen. But seven and nine, seven and eight, 194 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: four and twelve, they happen to have the fourth pick 195 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: of the draft, but they have Matt Ryan under contract 196 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: and he's thirty five years old. Which direction would you 197 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: lean if you were that GM, I would lean towards 198 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback and you remove Matt Ryan, or I have 199 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan for one more year. But if I get 200 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: my guy that I don't want a quarterback. I want 201 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: my quarterback. And teams make this mistake, you know, do 202 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots go, hey, We'll take whatever quarterbacks left over 203 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: or at the fifteenth pick overall. If I'm the Patriots, 204 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: I want to know who is my guy? And can 205 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: I go get my guy? Can we do the It's Wednesday, 206 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: but we usually do the Tuesday mid morning. Most people 207 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: do a Monday morning quarterback. We do a Tuesday mid 208 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: morning quarterback, but we forgot to do it yesterday. Can 209 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: we do Tuesday mid morning quarterback on Wednesday mid morning? 210 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm ready. Okay, here's against the grade. It doesn't matter 211 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: what time a week it is, Dan, I can annoy 212 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: you with a system quarterback argument as you can. It 213 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: could be Saturday night, it could be a New Year's Eve. 214 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: I've done that before. I have a new reverse system. 215 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: QB theory that Deshaun Watson last year was amazing, like 216 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: he was Leather League in passing yards, was second rating 217 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: behind Aaron Rodgers. He had the worst system out there. 218 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: They gave away DeAndre Hopkins and he got Therefore by 219 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: having a bad system and still being good, that proves 220 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: that he is elevated beyond the system and worth four 221 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: first round picks. If I'm another team and I say 222 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: he could do that with those guys last year with 223 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and knocked DeAndre Hopkins thrown to Chad Hanson, 224 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm all in. I'm like, that's why I'm given four 225 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: or five whatever first round picks. See what you're saying. 226 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: So he was good enough to overcome his system right 227 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: where Carson Wentz his system fell apart and he mentally 228 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: shut down. Deshaun seemed to get better somehow when everything 229 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: around him was bad. But I don't know, maybe that's 230 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: his psyche. But if I'm the Panthers, I'm like, whoa. 231 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: If he could do that there, well for first rounders, 232 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to overcome the system in Carolina as 233 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: well because they're not going to have anybody when he 234 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: gets there. That was actually my question. I'm like, why 235 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: does everyone say I said it yesterday? Well, Carolina's could 236 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: be in the super Bowl eventually with Deshaun, but they 237 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: need wide receivers too, So what's a spot wait running 238 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: out by me again? Yeah, but they don't, I would say, 239 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: And yesterday I said I guaranteed Carolina would be in 240 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: an NFC title game with DeShawn But they need to 241 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: build fast. Well, they need to get him first. Yeah, 242 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: that's easy, Yeah, they need Yeah, but how can Carolina 243 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: build around Deshaun Watson when they just sent away four 244 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: first round draft picks free agency? Because that always works 245 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL? Spend money. Now. I think last year 246 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: he proved a lot. I think that's his most impressive year, 247 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: even though he's four and twelve. Is that possible or 248 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: is all right? So sum up your point, Nick Lemon. Yeah, 249 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: just the fact that he can overcome that bad of 250 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: a system in Houston, man, every team that anybody who 251 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: says the Jets shouldn't give up four first round picks 252 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: is crazy to me. So Shaun Watson is not a 253 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: system quarterback. No, he's not. Okay, Joe Montana is a 254 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: system quarterback. So yeah, if I'm the Jets, I don't 255 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: want Joe Montana. Seriously. Yeah, he's sixty five exactly, Yes, seton. 256 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: I love that we're just sort of setting up the 257 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: worry line in say, three years, like, well, how are 258 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: you supposed to build a round him? He gave up 259 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: all the tram picks to get him. I mean it's 260 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: so obvious. Ill. Yeah, I fully holding on to what 261 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: Sean says. If this doesn't work, then it's a system. 262 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: By the way. Art Rooney, the Steelers president, said the 263 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: following issuing a statement. Ben Roethlisberger and I met yesterday morning. 264 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: We had a productive meaning we were able to discuss 265 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: a lot of things to relate that that relate to 266 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: where we are and where we want to go. Ben 267 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: assured me that he is committed to coming back to 268 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: help us win, and I told Ben that I would 269 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: like to have him back to help us win a championship. 270 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: We both understand that the next step is to work 271 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: out Ben's contract situation. I would like to I would 272 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: like what if he said, hey, I'm committed to coming back, 273 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: but didn't say I'm committed to coming back to win. Hey, 274 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm committed to coming back here. What does that mean? 275 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,119 Speaker 1: You're committed to coming back. I'm going to do everything possible. 276 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that just doing yoga is 277 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: gonna do it. Like Ben needs to really, he needs 278 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: to go TV twelve. He needs to he needs to 279 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: go all in, get healthy, get in shape. Wasn't big 280 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: Ben like big big Ben, he was great, Well he 281 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: was bigger Ben. Yeah, maybe he needs to go the 282 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: opposite blow it out. No no, no, no, get bigger. 283 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: So I remember the guys hanging off of a big, 284 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: bigger Ben. Yeah. Point it wouldn't it be great if 285 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: once in a while these PR staffs would put out 286 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: a statement that was a little more honest, like Ben 287 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: Ashrman is committed to coming back to help us win. 288 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: And I told him Ben that we would like to 289 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: have him back unless we get a better option in 290 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: the next few weeks or find someone in the draft 291 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: late that slide. We would love to have him come 292 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: back to help us win a championship. If he takes 293 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: a whole not less money than what he was was paid, 294 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: we wish him all the best. Uh. Let me see here, 295 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: Kevin and Utah. Hi keV, what do you have for 296 00:16:53,920 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: me to do? Hey? Kevin? Hey keV? Last week miss chef, Well, 297 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: thank you, Kevin. I've got two things, and I hope 298 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: you like my choice award. I want to stay with 299 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: the narrative that mclovin hates everything in Utah. Um. See 300 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: mcleven I told you you've going down this road when 301 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: you were picking on my Utah Jazz. Yeah, but are 302 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: they really even interesting enough to hate? Though? I think 303 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. And the second thing 304 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: is I want to do a shower of shame bet 305 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: with mclovin. Okay, all right, now, it got interesting, all right, 306 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: let me hear the bed here, keV. Well, I want 307 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: to see what you guys think. It's fair because they're 308 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: not known as a playoff team and aren't built for 309 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So do we just go they make it 310 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: to the Western Conference Championship or the NBA finals? Shower 311 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: of shame? All right? Let me let me go, let 312 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: me see that. Let let's start out with the Western 313 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: Conference championship. McLevin, are you willing? So the Utah Jazz 314 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: have to play in the Western Conference title game? I 315 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: think those are that's fair? Okay, a shower shame, Kevin. 316 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: It's on that your Utah Jazz have to get to 317 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals. Perfect. I look forward to it. Okay, 318 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: but what, like, you know, what's the twist? Like? What 319 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: kind of food is Utah known for? You know, like 320 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: you jello? We've got jello, We've got other big things. 321 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, you didn't invent jello. It's like a 322 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: hospital fo Yeah. Yeah, Utah, Oh God, I gotta get 323 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: to Utah. They're known for their jello. We didn't invent jello, 324 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of jello that is consumed here. 325 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: I think it's like one of the largest consumers of 326 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: jello in the world. Yeah. See, maybe we could play 327 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: off like a salt lake situation.

The Epic Speed is for 401 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: most players. The Epic Max has additional forgiveness.

Okay, update the results. Which team would be 429 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: best served by replacing their current quarterback? The choices were 430 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: the Vikings, Jimmy g and the Niners, Matt Ryan, the 431 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: Falcons or Big Ben fifty eight percent? Big Ben second 432 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: is Kirk Cousin at sixteen percent, so Ben by him 433 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: a large margin. All right, let me bring in Mike Florio, 434 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: pro Football Talk Live co host. You can see his 435 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: show on peacock every morning Monday through Friday. Let me 436 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: start there, Mike, out of those quarterbacks, which team should 437 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: be moving on? Well, I think without question it's the 438 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: forty nine is from Jimmy Garoppolo, He's missed twenty three 439 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: games over the past three seasons. He's got a twenty 440 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: five million dollars compensation package this year, and I think 441 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: back to the playoff run in twenty nineteen. He freaked 442 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: out Kyle Shanahan in the game against the Vikings, throwing 443 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: three balls that could have been intercepted by Eric Kendricks. 444 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: One of them was That's when they shifted to Bob 445 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: Greasy mode for the rest of the postseason at least 446 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: until the Super Bowl, and had him just hand the 447 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: ball off. That great stable of running backs they have 448 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: and also receivers who can run the football, but I 449 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: think they'd be far better off if they upgraded at 450 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback position and would be a Super Bowl contender, 451 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: if not a Super Bowl favorite, with a better quarterback. 452 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: Do they have plans on doing that well, They're keeping 453 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: their cards close to the vest right now because of 454 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: the cap consequences of trading or cutting Jimmy Garoppolo. It 455 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: would not be a significant blow to their overall structure 456 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: for other contracts and other players. I think they just 457 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: need to find a better quarterback before they make a 458 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: move on Jimmy g I don't think they trade him 459 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: because I don't think anybody wants to pay him twenty 460 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: five million dollars for next year. I think they will 461 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: look for somebody better, and if they find somebody better, 462 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: they'll go get that person, maybe try to trade him. 463 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Ultimately potentially just cut him when you can't find someone 464 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: else to take on that commitment, all because of the 465 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: inability to stay healthy, Dan, does it make sense for 466 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: the Steelers to bring Ben back because it's money based 467 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: that hey, well have you come back, but only if 468 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: you know you're going to play at a reasonable salary here? 469 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: Or does it make more sense to be moving on 470 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: to start with whatever you know the new era, next 471 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: generation is with this team, Dan, My understanding that is 472 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: that this is not about trying to pay Ben Roethlisberger 473 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: less than what he's doue to make this year. Now 474 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: that they're at the point where they've decided they want 475 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: to continue this relationship, you have to take his contract 476 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: one year left, forty one point two five million dollars 477 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: cap charge for this year twenty two point two five 478 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: million is counting against the cap no matter what they do, 479 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: if he retires, if he's cut, if he restructures, his 480 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: contract that twenty two point two five is going nowhere. 481 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: The question is, with the nineteen he's do to make 482 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: this year, what do you do to shrink the cap 483 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: charge this year push some of those dollars into future years. 484 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: It's very easy to do. It should only take an hour. 485 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: That part of it is easy. And now that they're 486 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: at the point where that's the next step, assuming the 487 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: Steelers are willing to pay nineteen million for this year, 488 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: it's something that literally could be done in an hour. 489 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: I don't know why it's taken so long to get 490 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: to this point. I think some of it was the 491 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: Steelers asking themselves, are we going to be good enough 492 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: this year to justify one more year with Big Ben? 493 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: And I think from his perspective, he has to look 494 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: at it and say, is the team going to be 495 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: good enough for me to give it one more run? 496 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't think this is quite two thousand and five. 497 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: Jerome bettis where just that close away from the Super Bowl. 498 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: Let's try to do it one last time and walk 499 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: off into the sunset with a trophy. I really do believe, 500 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: and I know I may eat these words later in 501 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: the year. I think come November and December. Both sides 502 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: are going to regret this one more year. This feels 503 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: like Brett Farve in two ten. I think both sides 504 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: would be better off moving on. Has anybody's seen Deshaun Watson. 505 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't. I think there was a photo of him, 506 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: like in Miami or something. He's really handling this in 507 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: a quiet, private and discreete way. The Texans know where 508 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: he's coming from. He's yet to go public. I suggested 509 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: last week that at some point he may have to 510 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: go public to put pressure on the Texans to do something. 511 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: He's making it too easy for them to just hang 512 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: up the phone whenever anyone calls with an offer and 513 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: just take the position that they believe. At some point 514 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: he's going to change his mind about not wanting to 515 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: be there. And there was a great item in The 516 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: Athletic last week about this situation. Now it got to 517 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: this point and one of the comments about his nature, 518 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: he's very stoic by design. He was inspired by his 519 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: mother's cancer fight that she handled everything very very even keeled, 520 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: and I think that that's who he is. He doesn't 521 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: want to have to go public. He doesn't want to 522 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: have to throw grenades at the Texans in an interview 523 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: or somewhere else. He wants them to figure out on 524 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: their own what their best move is and we'll see 525 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: if they do. Yeah, you start to wonder if you're 526 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, and you go, Okay, I'm gonna go to 527 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: a team that I might deplete their roster or their future. 528 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: Do I want to go to Carolina? And all of 529 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm going to You know, it's a lateral move. 530 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: Now I get out from underneath whatever he's bothered by 531 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: with the Texans. But it's not like he's going to 532 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: go to a place where they're gonna go, hey, Adwater 533 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: and stir, We're ready to challenge for a championship here. Yeah, 534 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: that's the problem. I mean, the herschel Walker type trade. 535 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: You end up being the guy who gets traded to 536 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: the team that doesn't have any first round draft picks 537 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: for the next three years, or second or third, or 538 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: give up this guy and that guy. The greater the 539 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: package to get to Shaun Watson, the harder it is 540 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: for that team where he lands to compete. And that's 541 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: part of the challenge in finding the right team here. 542 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: The Texans, if they're going to trade him. They're gonna 543 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: want maximum compensation before to Shaun Watson, waves is no 544 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: trade clause. He's gonna want to feel like he's not 545 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: jumping from one bad situation into another. If you were 546 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: going to handicap this, give me the teams in order, Well, 547 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: I really think what's going to happen is the Texans 548 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: aren't going to entertain offers, and the team that would 549 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: be there right now are going to begin to scatter 550 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: as they make other plans. See, that's the problem with 551 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: not realizing your best move is to get all interested 552 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: teams to the table now and play them against each other. 553 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: Stanford exactly, Now, now here's the time. Let's go. Let's 554 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: do this now, because if they don't and you decide 555 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: to do it in August, when he doesn't show up, 556 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: and then you realize, oh he was serious about that, 557 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: Yeah he was. Well, how many teams are you gonna 558 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: have in August, September, October trade deadline. That's what Dwayne 559 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: Brown did four years ago. He held out he wanted 560 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: to be traded. They said no, no, no, no no. 561 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: He finally shows up and then they trade him to 562 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and they don't get nearly as much as 563 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: they would have gotten if they just would have done 564 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: it back in March or April. D Look, I the 565 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: only way I can make sense of this because look 566 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: at all the changes the Texans are making the new culture. 567 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: Firing this person. This person doesn't fit the culture, doesn't 568 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: fit the culture. You got a franchise quarterbacker, says, I 569 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: don't want to be part of the culture. Well, then 570 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: why don't you trade him? I keep going back to 571 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: the catchphrase that the late Bob McNair gave the NFL 572 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: during the anthem controversy, the founder of the Texans. We 573 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: can't have the inmates running the prison. I feel like 574 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: that's the attitude that's being sent and directed it to 575 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. Is a message to him and all the 576 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: rest of the players. You guys just work here. We 577 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: can't have the inmates running the prison. We decide who stays, 578 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: We decide who gets traded, We decide who gets what 579 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: they want. You don't make that decision. That's the only 580 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: way any of this makes sense to me. Yeah, I 581 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: thought Wench would be traded, but I didn't think to 582 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson would be traded. But if they're not, I 583 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: don't know who's making it public that they're not taking offers. 584 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: It feels like the Texans mightn't be telling the media, hey, 585 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: we're not taking offers, so it gets out that, you know, 586 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: teams can still Hey we haven't heard the off coming. 587 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: We haven't heard the offer that we want. Ye, I 588 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: mean your best leverage. I think about it. Somebody shows 589 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: up at your door and wants to buy your house, 590 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: your best leverages, I ain't sell them. Well, then the 591 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: offer goes up. I really want this house. Well I'm 592 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: not selling. Offer goes up. I really want this house. 593 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm not selling. If you can if you can sell that, 594 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: you get more. The Eagles weren't in a position to 595 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: sell that because it was obvious the Eagles were going 596 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: to move on from Carson Wentz With the Texans, you know, 597 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: even though it seems dumb that they wouldn't do this 598 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: thing and get the best offer they can. Now, if 599 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: they can make people think they really are committed to 600 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: holding on to Deshaun Watson, maybe what happens is somebody 601 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: gets a little desperate and when they're at that pivot 602 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: point where they either have to go get to Shaun 603 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: Watson or move on to Plan B. Instead of moving 604 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: on to Plan B, they throw something else onto the 605 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: pile and the Texans come out of it even better. 606 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: When Nick Casserio addressed the issue during the press conference 607 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: that introduced their new coach, David Culley, I didn't read 608 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: Casserio as being lying in the sand, no way in hell. 609 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: I interpreted some things he said as meaning that they 610 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: were going to realize that it's in their best interest 611 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: to take the best package. Now that assumes he's he's 612 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: got the authority to convince anyone there to do it. 613 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: You never know what Kal McNair, as as influenced by 614 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: Jack Easterby, is going to do. Talking to Mike Florio 615 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk, you can see the show every morning 616 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: money through Friday Long with Chris Simms. I also wondered 617 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: about this with Dak Prescott that Jerry Jones could have 618 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: stumbled into a situation that might benefit him and that is, hey, 619 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: I tag him one more time at what thirty thirty 620 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: seven million dollars and he's coming back from an injury. 621 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: If it doesn't go well, I get out from underneath this. Now. 622 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: If it does go well, then we signed him to 623 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: a long term deal because I don't think you want 624 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: to do a tag him at fifty million or fifty 625 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: two million dollars. So it could either be really really 626 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: good for Dallas or it could be really really bad. 627 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: Give me, give me Jerry Jones strategy through all of this, well, 628 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: the strategy has been wait for Dak Prescott to finally 629 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: realize that he should do a team friendly deal. That 630 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: strategy has not been effective, and the more they wait, 631 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 1: the more the price goes up. Because think about this scenario, 632 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: Dan one more year, thirty seven point six to eight million. 633 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: First of all, the caps going down this year, this 634 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: is not the year to have thirty seven point six 635 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 1: to eight million in cap dollars tied to one player. 636 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: But let's say that works and he's healthy and you 637 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: want to keep him. The problem is when you go 638 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: to sign him do a long term deal next year, 639 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: he's got all the leverage because the only way to 640 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: keep him from the open market is to use the 641 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: franchise tag again at a forty four percent raise fifty 642 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: four point two five million. He's getting to the open 643 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: market next year if you don't sign him do a 644 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: long term contract this year. And you know there's been 645 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: this lingering question, what does Dak Prescott really worth? We 646 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: don't know what he's really worth yet because the Cowboys 647 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: want to let him go to the open market. The 648 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: entire franchise tag, you know, they've tried to spin it 649 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: as it's some sort of an honor. That's bs. This 650 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 1: is a device that the teams have to keep players 651 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: from getting fair market value because they don't get to 652 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: find out what other teams will pay next year if 653 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: they don't do a long term deal. Now Dak Prescott 654 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: gets to find out what other teams would pay. But 655 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: why don't they just let him go to market. If 656 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: somebody wants to sign him, you get two first round picks. 657 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean, well, and they crossed this bridge last year. Dan. 658 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: All they had to do was used the non exclusive 659 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: franchise tag. It would have been twenty seven million, twenty 660 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: six millions, something like that instead of thirty one point four. 661 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: It was thirty one point four because they used the 662 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: exclusive tag. It's a higher price for most positions, especially 663 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: it is for quarterback. The way the formula is different, 664 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: and it seals off the opportunity for someone to sign 665 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: him and give two first round picks this compensation. They 666 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: and because someone said to me last year, oh, look, 667 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: next year, they won't use the franchise tag. My reaction was, 668 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: and this was before the broken ankle. Why wouldn't they. 669 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: They've already used the highest possible level of the tag 670 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: to keep him around. They are committed to this guy. 671 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: The problem is they've always believed that there's going to 672 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: be this lightning bolt where Dak Prescott says, you know what, 673 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: I've built leverage, and I've built leverage, and I've built leverage. 674 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and give it up and 675 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: do you guys a favor and sign a contract that 676 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: doesn't reflect the leverage that I've accumulated. When do we 677 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: find out about the seventeenth regular season game? I think 678 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: it's tied to the TV contracts. There was a monet. 679 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: Maybe the TV contracts were being finalized so they could 680 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: move some money around and bump up the salary cap. 681 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: My understanding is they're trying to get the TV contracts 682 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: done before they make an official with seventeen games. And 683 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: I saw a report from the Washington Post seventeen and 684 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: three preseason games, which makes sense. You want to hold 685 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: that third preseason game, so the next move is eighteen 686 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: and two. They've had twenty games forever. Back when when 687 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: in the seventies, I remember six preseason games in fourteen 688 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: regular season games. It was ridiculous. But I think eighteen 689 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: and two at some point down the road is where 690 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: we're headed. They won't go seventeen and two. They'll go 691 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: seventeen and three and then eighteen and two. Oh boy, Yeah, 692 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: I was told this morning it's all tied to TV dollars. 693 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: You know. I got to get the contracts done and 694 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: then everybody knows what they're gonna make, and then we're 695 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: gonna have that seven teenth game. More inventory, more stuff 696 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: to bet on. I think they need to have more windows. 697 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if there's some sort of a doubleheader 698 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: package in the next Monday Night football deal. More standalone 699 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: games where people can bet on those games, especially as 700 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: the technology improves to the point where what you see 701 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: at home on your TV is happening at the exact 702 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: same moment, so you can pick up the cell phone 703 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: device and make a bet on whatever the next play 704 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: is going to be. When JJ want to make his decision, well, 705 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: I think I think that that teams won't know what 706 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: they can offer him until they know what the salary 707 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: CAP's going to be. And I think we're probably a 708 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: week week and a half away from figuring out what 709 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: the CAP's going to be. First, the teams have to 710 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: figure out what they want it to be. Some want 711 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: it to be lower, some want it to be higher, 712 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: and then they have to work out the agreement with 713 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: the union is to what it's going to be. But 714 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, when he got his freedom two weeks ago, 715 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: the first thing I thought of it, Hey, he gets 716 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: the thirty three day head start to the open market, 717 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: and I thought about it's like, nobody knows what the 718 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: CAP's going to be. You don't know what you can 719 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: pay him. And the other side of it, too, is 720 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: if you give at five six seven million, whatever it 721 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: is to JJ Watt, you may find out later that 722 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: another team unexpectedly cut a guy to get under the cap, 723 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: and you look at him and say, man, I could 724 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: have spent that money on this guy instead, because even 725 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: though what you know, great player, Hall of Famer, three 726 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: time Defensive Player of the Year, he's thirty two and 727 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: he's had an injury history, there may be other guys 728 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: out there. When you take the name off the back 729 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 1: of the jersey. The teams will look at and say, 730 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: I'd kind of rather have him. We played the JJ 731 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: Watt game yesterday. A quick recap there. Paulie I went 732 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: with the he would play in Los Angeles for the 733 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: Chargers of the Rams. Fritzie went with the Cowboys. McLevin 734 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: went with Packers, Seaton Steelers. I went with Buffalo. I 735 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: like Buffalo. I'm with you on Buffalo Buffalo. Every tweet 736 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: from JJ Watt two gets analyzed to see where there. 737 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,919 Speaker 1: It's like it's like, you know, we used to spin 738 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: the record backwards. I buried Paul like, where's the clue? 739 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: Where's the clue on the on the day JJ Watt 740 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: Twitter page as to where he's gonna go.

McLevin, which team would be best served to 754 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 1: replace our quarterback runaway Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers? Yeah, 755 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: I agree with Florio. I think you've got to start 756 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: looking to the future. If you're Pittsburgh, and unless you 757 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: think Mason Rudolph is the future, than I would strongly 758 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: consider doing something in the draft. But you know, the 759 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,959 Speaker 1: key is to find your quarterback. The guy who fits 760 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: what you want to do is the key, not just 761 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: hey we got to get a quarter back. We got 762 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: to get our our guy and then if we don't, 763 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: then we draft somebody else. Yeah, the club, but they said, 764 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: like I imagine twenty one or twenty two, you never 765 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: get the guy there, or do you it's a hard 766 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 1: spot to find a short thing quarterback. Well you're gonna 767 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: have to move up, Okay, so package up. Yes, Yeah, 768 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if if there's somebody you really want, teams 769 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: always make the mistake of drafting a quarterback instead of 770 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: drafting the quarterback that probably is best suited for their needs. 771 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: What about I've seen the thrown out there before, t J. 772 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: Watt and a package for Deshaun Watson, like throw a 773 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 1: bunch of first rounders? Is that is that a home 774 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: for Deshaun? I don't think he's on the DeShawn odds, 775 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: but I have not heard Pittsburgh involved in. Then I 776 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: saw on Twitter somebody speculated, well what if they throw 777 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: t J. Watt at at the Texans? Well, t J 778 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: Watt and what and then does three first round Texans 779 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: want to bring in another Watt after they just said 780 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: goodbye to JJ. That doesn't seem likely. Brandon and Georgia. Hi, Brandon, 781 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? What's going on? Dan? I 782 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 1: was just wondering what you thought about the Atlanta found 783 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: is making a move and dew Watson maybe trading um 784 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,479 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I mean, you're hearing all this stuff about 785 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: Carolina making a move Um, and I feel like it's 786 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,439 Speaker 1: a great division to go ahead and get the guy. 787 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's getting old and that division and I 788 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: would like to move off with Matt Ryan. What do 789 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: you think Uh, well, you can trade Deshaun Watson to 790 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: Carolina and get Teddy Bridgewater and that's that's your bridge quarterback. 791 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan would not be your bridge quarterback in my opinion, 792 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,240 Speaker 1: and he's more expensive there. But I think Deshaun Watson 793 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: was seen in New York with an Atlanta Falcons jacket 794 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: on a couple of weeks ago, which is certainly confusing. Hey, 795 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: he's in New York and he wants why he's got 796 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: a Falcon's jersey or jacket on. I thought that was 797 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. You know how he got to New 798 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: York a jet? I see what you do? Oh my gosh. 799 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: It just keeps getting even more and more. And I 800 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: think he's looking at buying a panther. I think, so 801 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: a giant panther. Jeff and Detroit, Jeff, what do run 802 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: down for? Chat? Raw? Hey, listen Monday's show. I'm getting 803 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: a card with a friend of mine. We're going to 804 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: breakfast and we over here you talking about how you 805 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: google how to stack your wood. She looks at me, 806 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: and then you say, oh no, Fritzie, we're not going 807 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 1: to you. We don't need to know how you stack wood. 808 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: So she asked he says, well, why can't Fritzie talk 809 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: about stack in Wood. I said, listen, Sweetie, Fritzie talking 810 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: about stacking Wood is like going down to Interstate the 811 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: one way you don't go down that road.
