1
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're always designated to return

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: the next day. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm with Evan Silva.

3
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: I was thinking back to my days back at Rhoda World.

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Cutdown day, a tough day in the NFL for a

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: lot of players, a compelling day for front offices where

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: you're putting together the roster and you're watching the rest

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: of the league. But I was thinking back to when

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: I was starting out in this business at Rota World,

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: and it was a very busy day. You would have

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: to just watch the transactions and pump them out, you know,

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: minute after minute you're waiting for the fifty three to

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: get reported. And who would be with me in the

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: trenches back then, but Evan Silva. So I thought, no

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: one better to do this day and go over what

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: we find interesting today. How you doing, Evan?

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: How's it going? Greg? Yeah? A lot has changed, especially

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: from the like from a rule standpoint, since those days

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: used to be like three rounds of cuts, there were

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: definitely two. Now there's always three.

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Three back in the day.

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: Now now there's only one. And I remember, like the

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: night before especially final cuts, like I'd be rooting please

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: teams like release some cuts early so we could just

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: start shipping away at them because we knew that the

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: next day was going to be absolute hell. And the teams,

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: they were supposed to have all their cuts out by

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: like four pm or five pm Eastern Time or something

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: like that, but they would always be one or two teams.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: They wouldn't release their cuts until like hours afterwards. And

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: by that time we're I'm punch drunk on the internet.

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: You know, had been blurbing all day waiting for the

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: freaking Raiders to release.

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: It was always the Raiders, the Raiders in the Seahawks.

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: But I got to give some props to the Raiders.

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Maybe with Tom Tellesco in the building, something changed. They

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: were one of the first teams out. There are still

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: a few straggling teams out there, but we'll make sure

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: they're all covered. We wanted to get going. You're a

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: busy man, you're running so.

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: In the blurbs though, I mean I would just take

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: a flamethrower to the braids, just blasting them for not

42
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: releasing their cuts on time. But yeah, we can jump

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: into this.

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: No.

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: I remember that I love the caustic Silva Blurbs, and

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: they weren't they weren't labeled with who wrote them, but

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: you could always tell which one was a Silva blurb.

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's how I look at today's show. Look,

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: there weren't gigantic headlines, just little nuggets. They're different flavors

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: of these NFL daily shows. We got some big previews

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: coming up this week, but this is more of a

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: housekeeping day where we're looking at what happened around the league,

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: trying to have our takeaways as we really get ready

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: for the season. And so yeah, let's just dive right

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: into it. I could start in a million different places here,

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: but I'm going to start with OBJ, just because I've

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: been tracking this story for a while. He was placed

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: on pup to start the season, and so you mentioned

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: how the rules have been changing. Evan, pup means you're

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: out for four games now you're eligible to return at

61
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: that point. You're gonna have to be activated at some

62
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: point in there. And the Insiders, of which I'm having

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: one on later in the show, maybe I'll ask him

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: about it. Ian Rappaport said, Oh, this was a possible

65
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: you know outcome the whole time with Obj, But give

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: me a break. They weren't saying that publicly. It's pretty

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: disappointing for them. They really want to run an eleven

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: offense here with three wide receivers. They wanted Odell Beckham

69
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: to be a big part of the team, and he's

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: just not going to be.

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he opened the camp, he opened camp on

72
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: active pup though, and he never got obviously, never got

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: in the practice field. I feel like the Beat writers

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: were talking about how they would barely even see him

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: around the facility. I think it could be potentially a

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: positive for Odell Beckham. He's not gonna have to play

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: the whole season. When they get him back in week

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: five or week six or week seven, he's going to

79
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: be healthier than he is now, and at that point

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: maybe he can join their three receiver set. I think

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: one guy who's kind of interesting here to see what

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: kind of a role he can earn, and I think

83
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: it's Braxston Barrios is going to open the season as

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: the number three, but Molik Washington the sixth round pick.

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,559
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of interesting all of a sudden.

86
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're banged up. Jalen Waddle hasn't been healthy, River

87
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Craikcaft hasn't been healthy, and I'm just curious, Well, I

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: got you, like, what are you viewing for this Dolphins offense?

89
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Because usually they start like a house on fire, but

90
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: their offensive line, the receivers are banged up, the running

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: backs look awesome, Like what's your fantasy outlook right now?

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, people get over to establish the run. It's

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: draft season. I got a draft on Wednesday. My kids

94
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: have a draft on Friday. Like it's time. It's time

95
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: to be to be getting that subscription and getting your

96
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: money's worth it.

97
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I have Tyreek Hill as a top five

98
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: overall pick number three right now in my top one

99
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: fifty rankings. You know, seventeen hundred plus yards in both

100
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: of his seasons under Mike McDaniel. I'm not too worried

101
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: about his injury stuff. And then Jalen Waddle last year

102
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: was like a consensus second round pick. This year, you

103
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: can get him in the fourth because he's not coming

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: off as great as season. He was banged up a

105
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: lot last year. But I love him. I love taking

106
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: him in the third round. If something were to happen

107
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: at Tyreek Kill, Jayalen Wattle is going to win your

108
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: fantasy league.

109
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh I like that, so that's the Dolphins on Tuesday.

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: The Packers started making moves on Monday, including the trade

111
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: for Malik Willis from the Titans for a seventh round pick,

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and then they cut Sean Clifford, who was their backup

113
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: quarterback last year. They also cut my guy from Tulane,

114
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: Michael Pratt. A tough day out here for the Pratt

115
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Pack because there was a report on si dot com

116
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: that he might not even get back to the practice squad,

117
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: that they want to keep Clifford there. I mean, seventh

118
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: round pick out of Pratt. I mean, Malik Willis being

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: one snap away from playing for a contender is a

120
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: little surprising to me.

121
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that former what number he

122
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: was supposed to be the number three overall pick and

123
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: went in the third round Malik Willis and he just

124
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: never showed anything. I mean, obviously he's athletic, he's got

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: a strong arm, but just in terms of consistency, ball location,

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: I mean, he just really never put anything together. Even

127
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: in preseason games. He was largely unimpressive.

128
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know for fantasy AJ Dillon going on injured

129
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: reserve for the season, that was a surprise. Yes, it

130
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: might be something where they can work out an injury settlement.

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: At some point he had a stinger and then Marshawn

132
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Lloyd is not on IR, not on POP. He's on

133
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: the active roster. I guess he's the backup. I don't

134
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: know if he's healthy, Like, what's the fallout there in

135
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay?

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: Marshall Lloyd has been out for two and a half weeks.

137
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: There was actually a report that he would end up

138
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: opening the season on a list. Probably it would be

139
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: short term IR, but for now he is there. I

140
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: think Emmanuel Wilson would be on track to be the

141
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: Packers number two running back. This is a player that

142
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: maybe the Packers like more than we know. But to me,

143
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: the biggest beneficiary is like they are going to open

144
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: the season with Josh Jacobs as a true warhorse behind

145
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: a pretty good run blocking offensive line in an offense.

146
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: So I think the arrow was pointing up. I think

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs awesome third round fantasy pick with very little

148
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: competition in the backfield.

149
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: I love Jacobs. He's very hit or miss. He's kind

150
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: of due for a hit year. I would just worry

151
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: our producer, Randy's a Packers fan. Here. If I'm Randy,

152
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you're one injury away from like Emmanuel Wilson

153
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: RB one maybe Week one, and one injury away from

154
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. Obviously, everyone you know would be a problem

155
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: if you lose your quarterback, but just a little thin

156
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: at those positions. They also cut their draft pick from

157
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: a year ago, Andrews Carlson, so they have their new kickers,

158
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Greg Joseph at least for now. And we might as

159
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: well say the public service announcement that everyone feels the

160
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: need to say this time of year. It's true though

161
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: these are not the final rosters. There's going to be

162
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: more moves. If there was a team that was going

163
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: to pick up a veteran running back, Green Bay would

164
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: probably be high on the list. Absolutely another veteran move

165
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: on Tuesday trade. Ernest Jones been tracking this the last

166
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: couple of days. The Titans trade for the Rams captain

167
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: on defense. Weird. They only had to give up a

168
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: pick swap of a fifth and a sixth round pick,

169
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: so basically the Rams said we're getting rid of this guy.

170
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: We'll take whatever we can get. Shocking to me, because

171
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: like when Aaron Donald retired, he was literally quoted saying

172
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: to Ernest Jones, this is your defense now, And like

173
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Ernest Jones is a guy the Rams have you know,

174
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: talked up a lot as kind of a leader and everything,

175
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: and now he's just gone for nothing. Strange, I think

176
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent they really like Omar Spates is

177
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna start, But just a weird camp for the Rams

178
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: losing a bunch of players and Ernest Jones. It sounds

179
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: like maybe he's not one hundred percent healthy or fit

180
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: after surgery this offseason, but a good pickup for the

181
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: Titans who were not looking good at linebacker.

182
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Omar Spates went undrafted out of LSU, so you

183
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: know every game that he plays in is a huge

184
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: million scouts there. You know, I feel like NFL teams

185
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: don't usually miss on a guy like that because there's

186
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: so much tape on him. But you know, obviously you

187
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: look good in training camping. Right now he has slotted

188
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: in as a starter at off ball linebacker.

189
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're They're a strange team. I don't know, I

190
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about that.

191
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: They are a strange team. And every year I'm kind

192
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: of like, what are they doing? And then you know,

193
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the time it works out.

194
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for for fantasy, Pooka Akua's injury is

195
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. Cooper Cup has looked

196
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: really healthy. I think it remains to be seeing how

197
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Pooka Nikoua comes off this injury. Just because he's back

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: at practice. We just don't know. So that's a that's

199
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: a little worrisome. Like where do you have those two guys?

200
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to hit you up for some fantasy nuggets

201
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: while we're doing this. Why not, Like, where are you

202
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: see in Puoka Cooper go off the board? I would

203
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: have said they're nowhere near each other in my mind

204
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: a Cup weeks ago and now for value, I might

205
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: rather have Cooper Cup just because I'm a little freaked

206
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: out about the Pookah injury and how.

207
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: To be I would tend to agree with you. Pooka

208
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: Nakula right now though, is my twelfth overall player. But yeah,

209
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 2: I mean I haven't really heard any any substitute, substantive

210
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: or positive report on his health since he went down,

211
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: which was a while ago. I mean, I'm just not

212
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 2: really sure I have Cooper Cup like number twenty three

213
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: or twenty four overall, But I think that for value,

214
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: I mean Pokinakua kind of regularly goes in the first round.

215
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: At the end of the first round, I think for value,

216
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm leaning toward Cooper Cup right now.

217
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just give my tip here is I'm fading

218
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: Pookinakua right now, just based.

219
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: On okay, based on the vibes.

220
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: I'll leave it there. Charles Amena, who is on the

221
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: pup list. He is on the Chiefs. He's a he's

222
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. There are a lot of moves for

223
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, so I'm just going to go through the

224
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: defending cham By the way, the Titans also cut Caleb Fairley,

225
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: who was a first round pick a couple of years ago,

226
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: so I thought that one was interesting. He just was

227
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: never healthy enough to stay on the field for the Chiefs.

228
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Charles Amnahu on the pup NFI list. He was heard

229
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: of course late last season in the playoffs, and so

230
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: he's not going to be back for a while. They

231
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: traded a seventh round pick for Cam Thomas, who was

232
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: a third rounder from the Cardinals. It's kind of weird

233
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals are giving up on an edge rusher

234
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs want because the Chiefs are so much

235
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: better at that position. The Chiefs also traded a late

236
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: pick for tight end Peyton Hendershot. I would be afraid

237
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Evan to trade with the Chiefs at this point. Brett

238
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Viach has kind of reached my standard of what the

239
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Patriots used to be. Just be like, I don't want

240
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: to trade them players. So maybe they know something we

241
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: don't know. They're going to make us look bad.

242
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: Also, the Cardinals moved on from Cam Thomas after losing

243
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: bj Ojalaari for the season. And do you know what

244
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: the deal is with Darius Robinson, their second round pick.

245
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is on injured reserve, designated to return.

246
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: You know, these are the kind of moves like when

247
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm building my matchups column for Week one, Like there's

248
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: a cluster situation right now going on with the Cardinals

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: at I actually kind of like it. For their offense,

250
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be in a lot of shootout

251
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: situations this year because on defense they're just so shorthanded,

252
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: especially up front. Their best cornerback is Sean Murphy Bunting.

253
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna and I like Jonathan Gannon as

254
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: a schemer, but it's gonna be hard to scheme around this.

255
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Right I took an early look at the Week one lines.

256
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I only sounded like two, and immediately I saw Bill's

257
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: minus six, and I was just thinking, well, fantasy, and

258
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: that Bill's are going to put thirty five on this team.

259
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the Cardinals can kind of keep up and Kyler

260
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: and the offense will be fun too, and it'll just

261
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: be a fantasy score fest. But they're putting up thirty

262
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: five on that Cardinals team. They do not have much

263
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: all right here, here's other things the Chiefs did. They

264
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: so they traded for Peyton Hendershot. He's like their fourth

265
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: tight end. They cut Kadarius Tony, and then Carson Steele,

266
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: the running back, makes the team. They only keep I

267
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: think four running backs and he's a fullback running back.

268
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: You are you into Carson Steele in like the deepest

269
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: league possible.

270
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: I kind of want to see how it plays out

271
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: over the next couple of days and if they add

272
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: another running back. Yeah, Carson Steele showed a lot in

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: the preseason. You know, he kind of gives me vibes

274
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: of is Peyton hillis the old Brown's running back who

275
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: was actually on a Madden cover one year. Carson Steele

276
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: ran four seven to seven coming out of college. You

277
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: do not see running backs that run that slow make

278
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: it in the NFL. But I mean, you know, he

279
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: couldn't have done more in the preseason to earn this

280
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: roster spot.

281
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Andy Reid loves him. They love having fallback.

282
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of there's only a few left in the league.

283
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: The Cowboys kept one too. They have a rookie fallback,

284
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: Hunter Lipke. Now that would be a very deep league

285
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: if you drafted Hunter Lipkey, although I think he's going

286
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: to be on the field the sneaking out. They also

287
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: kept douce Vaughn, the diminutive sun of their running backs

288
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: coach in Dallas or their position coach in Dallas. They

289
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: kept Ryan Flourney. I thought that was interesting, a rookie receiver.

290
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: They kept Andrew Booth, who they just traded for and

291
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: got cooked by East and Stick the other day. So

292
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: that's not a good sign for their cornerbacks. And they

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: might sign Dalvin Cook, Like what are you doing with

294
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: this Cowboys backfield? Like Lipkey's gonna be in the mix.

295
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: You got Dowdell, you got Zeke. I don't know if

296
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's gonna sign because at this point it's been

297
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty four hours since that report came out and he

298
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: hasn't signed yet. I don't know. I'm just fading all

299
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: of it.

300
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I generally am as well. I'll take Rico Dowdell

301
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: late if you know, if he's there, and you know,

302
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: I need a running back or something. But I'm not.

303
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: There's nothing to be excited about that. The Cowboys roster

304
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: is so thin, man.

305
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: They really are.

306
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: They They're so thin. It's kind of like, I feel

307
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: like this could be a season where just the bottom

308
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: falls out on him, like they lose like seeding LAMB

309
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: for an extending period or I mean, you know, let

310
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: alone Dak Although their backup quarterback situation isn't terrible, Cooper

311
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: Rush like has been solid in past opportunities, but I

312
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: just feel like they're hanging by a thread if you're

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: relying on rookies to start it on the offensive line,

314
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: just I don't know, I'm with you.

315
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: They also cut Karl Lawson, who I mentioned. They kept

316
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: signing all these veterans in the last week or two.

317
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Most of them stuck. Karl Lawson, who used to be

318
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: a great pass rusher for the Bengals but just never

319
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: was the same after injuries was cut by the Cowboys.

320
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: It's a weird team. By the way, Ceedee Lamb's not

321
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: even on their active roster. They have a commissioners they

322
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: are not a commissioner's exempt, but he's on an exemplest

323
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: for now before he gets fully back into it, so

324
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: they're kind of using a roster spot that way. The

325
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: Vikings are not using a roster spot on their first

326
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: round pick from just a couple of years ago. Lewis

327
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Seen did not make this team. I mentioned Andrew Booth

328
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: got traded by the Vikings, so that means quessi adopha

329
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: mensa who's done a good job otherwise says it g

330
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: That means his first two draft picks, first and second

331
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: round picks are no longer on the team. It was

332
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: only two years ago. They also cut Kenny Nuangu, which

333
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: I was really surprised about, one of the better return

334
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: guys in the league. I actually think he will be

335
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: a guy that gets claimed on waivers. Nikhil Harry did

336
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: not make this team. Any thoughts on the Vikings on

337
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: lewis Seen what's going on there. I kind of like

338
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: their backfield, even though it's only I think it's only

339
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: two players right now. They might add a running back.

340
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: They only have two running backs right now.

341
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, when we were talking about this a little bit

342
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: before the show, but when they drafted Andrew Booth and

343
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: Lewis seen in that first QUESSI draft, like, they probably thought, man,

344
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: this is we have the making, you know, this is

345
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: the foundation of our secondary for the next at least

346
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: four years. And they really got nothing out of either

347
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: of those guys, even like from a positional draft standpoint, like, yeah, dude,

348
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: taking taking DB's high makes sense. Those guys were both

349
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: very highly touted. Booth a lot of people thought he

350
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: would be a first round pick that that year. Just

351
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: a complete disappointment. Quest he has struggled in the draft.

352
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's be real. Quest he has and

353
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: I still kind of believe in him, but he struggled

354
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: in the draft. The release of Kenny nuang Wu is

355
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: interesting for ty Chandler as a late round fantasy sleeper.

356
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: I actually really like Aaron Jones in the middle rounds

357
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, people don't want to draft him. I

358
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: like him getting a decent amount of him, and then

359
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: ty Chandler late as a guy that hey, you know,

360
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: if Aaron Jones has durability issues, which he has had

361
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: a decent amount in the past, ty Chandler becomes, you know,

362
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: explosive second option that you could get for really cheap

363
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: in fantasy.

364
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: I like both of those guys. You know, I would

365
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: handcuff and we're still using handcuff as Alex you know

366
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy lexicon. Sometimes Levaton on your podcast, and

367
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: one thing I like about it is you guys just

368
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: you guys get to it. You get through it so fast.

369
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: But sometimes Levaton Levitan uses uh words I don't even

370
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: know anymore. Although I caused everyone dust everyone. It always

371
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: delights me when I'm just like hoping to never be

372
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: dust in my career. Yeah, all right, let's go to

373
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: the Panthers. They put Jonathan Brooks that this is some

374
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: fantasy impact here on the pu P list. Also dj Wanham,

375
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: who's an edge rusher. They just have no one at

376
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: the edge, and yeah, I guess it's Tuber Hubard in

377
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: the backfield and Jonathan Brooks is someone Yeah you can

378
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: stash in fantasy, but he might not be really all

379
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: the way back till pretty late in the season.

380
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've got him, see I have to right

381
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: after we did the show. I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna

382
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: make a bunch of changes. All the changes are like

383
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: from player eighty five overall to like one fifty overall.

384
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: You know, but but I mean those mid round and

385
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: late round picks matter. I have Jonathan Brooks like right

386
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: around number ninety and he needs to go into like

387
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: the one twenties or something like that. I'll figure that out.

388
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: But you know, there wasn't It seemed like there was

389
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: a chance to give you back by week three or

390
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: week four. But right now, I mean he's definitely out

391
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: through week won't be eligible to come back until week five,

392
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: and then who knows he's even going to get that

393
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: full time role. The Panthers could be going four by then.

394
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they're going to be any good.

395
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: And you know, how would they be incentivized to give

396
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: the ball to Jonathan Brooks a lot?

397
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Right? I liked how he played in college, but they're

398
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: all about twenty twenty five and they're not gonna want it.

399
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: It seems like he's behind schedule. When they drafted him,

400
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: they were saying that he would be ready for training camp.

401
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: This happens a lot though. That's the thing with OBJ

402
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: and a lot of times you know, everything's optimistic and

403
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: then you get to cut down there, you get the

404
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: training camp and these guys aren't ready, but it makes

405
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: sense to be careful with him. The Broncos tried to

406
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: trade Tim Patrick and Samaj p Ryan, but no one

407
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: wanted them, so they just cut them. They also cut

408
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: little Jordan Humphrey. They did keep all three of their quarterbacks.

409
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: Samaj p Ryan is a guy that could land elsewhere.

410
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: The Eagles cut Paris Campbell, who initially was going to

411
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: be their third receiver, but then they trade for Johan Dottson.

412
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: They kept James Bradberry, who converted to safety. He's getting

413
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: paid twenty million dollars to be like their fifth safety,

414
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: but it's guaranteed money, and they just figure like, well,

415
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: why not keep him. He's a good guy. The Browns

416
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: are keeping all four quarterbacks, so this is one to watch.

417
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: I think over the next few days. They cut down

418
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: to foreman at running backs, so they're very thin at

419
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: running back right now. What do you see about the

420
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Browns backfield? And I can't imagine they're going to keep

421
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley and Dorian Thompson Robinson and Jameis Winston. But

422
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: it was a little interesting. There were reports that came

423
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: out that's saying they're looking to trade Huntley or Winston,

424
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: that they're going to keep dtr and that maybe even

425
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: Winston's available. So that's just something to watch the next

426
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: couple of days. Are you buying Jerome Ford now because

427
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: they only have two running backs on the roster right now?

428
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 2: I am I've kind of always been buying Jerome Ford.

429
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: But you know, today, like after they cut Jontay Foreman,

430
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: a bunch of people were saying, like, well, he could

431
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: definitely be back. He just gives him an element that

432
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong do not, and that he's

433
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: like a big back who can run with power, who

434
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: has like legitimate production on his resume in the NFL.

435
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: So I think there's a possibility that he could come back.

436
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: The Brown's better not trade Jamis Winston because he's going

437
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: to be their starter at some point this year. If

438
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 2: anything happens to Deshaun Watson, which Deshaun Watson has already

439
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: struggled with, you know, some with soreness in his throwing

440
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: arm or whatever, I would be terrified. I do wonder

441
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: that because Jameis Winston is such like he can be

442
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: a galvanizing presence. You know, you see the the pregame

443
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: stuff that he leads. I mean he's the backup quarterback.

444
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: He's leading the pregame stuff. Do they think that, oh, well,

445
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: he you know, he might be encroaching on Deshaun Watson.

446
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: You know, do we need to get rid of them? Yes,

447
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: because like like the team could like start to rally around,

448
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: like you remember when like no one would sign Cam

449
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: Newton even to be their backup because he can he

450
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 2: has this this charisma and presence Like if something is

451
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: going wrong with the you know, mediocre starter, like the

452
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: team is going to turn to Cam.

453
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that could be a factor.

454
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Derek Carr totally loved all the love

455
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: that mus Winston was getting in New Orleans. I don't

456
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: think they brought they even considered bringing back Joe Flacco

457
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: because because at about the locker room, the city, let's

458
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: love Joe Flacco so much that you like, couldn't have

459
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: them around it. It's a whole thing. And Tyler Huntley

460
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: look good enough in the preseason that maybe they'd be

461
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: willing to. I don't know. Let's take a quick break.

462
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: We have a few more items to get through, uh

463
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 1: with Evan, I'm looking forward to that, and then I'm

464
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna have Ian rappaport on to wrap up this news

465
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: based show. We're a news show sometimes news back on

466
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: NFL Daily. I mean, this is this is all protein

467
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: on this one? What is that? Is that? What's the

468
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: all protein diet? And now I'm now I'm blanking keto. Yeah,

469
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: this is this is the Keto of shows. It's just

470
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: like all protein, no filler, no pasta, no, not even

471
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: any fruit. We're just getting to the cuts and letting

472
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: you know which ones matter so you're smarter than the

473
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: people around you. Forty nine ers had some interesting ones.

474
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell's out for the season immediately that that has

475
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: fantasy implications. Their backup is who Jordan Mason? Who is

476
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: their back?

477
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: Yes?

478
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: Yes, And Christian McCaffrey right now is dealing with a

479
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: calf strain. Now we have we have a pretty high

480
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: level of confidence that he's going to be all right.

481
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: But it's something to keep in mind. I mean, running

482
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 2: backs get hurt in the NFL, especially when they're utilized

483
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: as workhorses, like Christian McCaffrey has been in San Francisco

484
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: and will continue to be. But Jordan Mason, by all

485
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: accounts like he used to have like a sort of

486
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: contentious relationship with Bobby Turner the Broncos or the Broncos

487
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: used to be the Broncos Rby's coach, forty nine ers

488
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: RB's coach, and now Bobby Turner has been like praising him,

489
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: and he's like locked in as the number two right now,

490
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: especially with Eli Mitchell out for the season. Eli so

491
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 2: open training camp as like a draftable guy obviously, I

492
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: mean he's done.

493
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: I like that Jordan Mason pick because I guess the

494
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: history of Christian McCaffrey. I know he's been healthy the

495
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: last few years, but softissue injury in August, all the

496
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: workload he had last year, just from a fantasy perspective

497
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: freaks me out a little bit. Also, it's a team

498
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: that September through November only matters so much. They can

499
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: be careful with Christian McCaffrey. This is a team that's

500
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: worrying about December and especially January and hopefully February for them.

501
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: With that in mind, some big players not active on

502
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: the team right now. Hufunga goes to the pup. Their

503
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: safety Brandon Ayuk is on the roster. I expect that

504
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: thing to happen. Trent Williams is not because he's on

505
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: the reserve list right now, and they'll longer this goes.

506
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: The more I'm wondering if he actually does miss a

507
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: game or two. And then Dre Greenlaw is on the

508
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: pup list. So a lot of talent there. The Texans

509
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: actually cut a lot of players I recognize, which is

510
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: always a good sign. It's like, oh, your roster's so

511
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: good that they were able to cut Noah Brown, decent player,

512
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: Desmond King, CJ Henderson, case Keenan went to IR. We

513
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: talked about him with Nick Shook the other day. He's

514
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: not healthy, so he's on IR. Tim Boyle was cut.

515
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: Kristin Harris goes to IR return their starting linebacker Cam

516
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: Akers made this team like that, Damian Pierce made this team.

517
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: John Metchi made this team. Is a fun team. Like

518
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: who's your kind of favorite value type guy from the Texans.

519
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I love all the starters on the Texans,

520
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: and it's hard to sift through their backups. There was

521
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: at one point in time where I wanted, really wanted

522
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: to like Damian Pierce, but he was atrocious all preseason.

523
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: I actually wonder if they're holding onto him to try

524
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 2: to get a seventh round pick from him or something

525
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: for him. Cam Akers looked great in the preseason. Yeah,

526
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: he really really good, and I wonder if he might

527
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 2: end up being the number two back for Houston.

528
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, something to watch week one between those two guys.

529
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think one of these wide receivers could

530
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: get traded still at some point. Noah Brown, there was

531
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: some question whether one hundred percent, but he's going to

532
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: be on a roster somewhere just because he's better than

533
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: He's not great, he's a journeyman, but he's better than

534
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: half the Steelers wide receivers that they have rostered. The

535
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: Falcons kept Taylor Heineke thought that was interesting. In one

536
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: of the teams keeping three quarterbacks and no trade there,

537
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: the Lions did not keep three. They cut Nate Sudfeld.

538
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker is their number two. That could be a

539
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: situation where Sudfeld goes to the practice squad and becomes

540
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: the backup. We'll see. They cut Donovan People's Jones. They

541
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: only have fifty two players on the roster, which is weird,

542
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: and so I do wonder if they're going to add

543
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: a receiver. They feel like a team that needs to

544
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: add a receiver. An undrafted free agent named Isaiah Williams

545
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: made the team and he is right now wide receiver

546
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: four for the Lions.

547
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder if Tim Patrick might end up there.

548
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: I mean as like, you know, a big, physical receiver

549
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: who can very least block and give him something in

550
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: the possession game. I love Jamison Williams. They have really

551
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: cleared the deck. Yeah, Jamison Williams like he like essentially

552
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: has faced no competition the number two receiver. Well, I

553
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: do think that's a little risky. I think they add

554
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: a veteran at some point.

555
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be interesting. The Saints cut our guy,

556
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: the Irish kicker, Charlie Smith. You know, they tried to

557
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: not play him at all in the preseason so no

558
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: one would take them. But then he hit a sixty

559
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: five yarder at my Alma Mata Yuelman Stadium from at

560
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: TWU Lane in an open practice that they were taping,

561
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, what, who's this Irish kid that just

562
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: booted a sixty five yarder, but they cut him anyway,

563
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: so I doubt another team will claim him, but he'll

564
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: be on their practice squad if not, and maybe replace

565
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: Blake Groupee. By the way, I know we have a

566
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: lot of international listeners, and I think sometimes the international

567
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: media and maybe the listeners too, like they freak out

568
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: when these guys get cut, like Lewis rees Zama in Kansasity.

569
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: It's all part of the process, and you get a

570
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: free roster spot if you're part of this ipp So

571
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: it happens. It takes years to develop sometimes before they

572
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: make their mark, so it's all part of the process.

573
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: Kendrey Miller went to injured reserve. One thing I was

574
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: going to say about this team, if you have any comment,

575
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: just four undrafted free agents make the team, And like,

576
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: this is what happens when you never have any draft

577
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: picks and you don't develop any good players with the

578
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: picks that you have. They're just like so thin at

579
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: so many positions. They're just counting on undrafted guys to

580
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: come in and make an impact.

581
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: Well, you remember they had that one sick draft. I

582
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: think it was only like a five man draft, and

583
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: it like saved a franchise.

584
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: It was twenty seventeen.

585
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: Now, yes, yeah, but they haven't drafted anything like that.

586
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: You know, over the course of time, the draft is

587
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: kind of like a crap shoot. I mean, that's kind

588
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 2: of been determined. So when they crushed that one draft

589
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: that wasn't necessarily everyone's like, Oh, Jeff Ireland's going to

590
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: get a GM job again at some point, and then

591
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: like they can't draft for the next five years straight.

592
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Marshall Lattimore was part of that draft. He is

593
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: on the roster. I yep, don't know what's up to

594
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: believe in practice all camp. Yeah, I don't know what's

595
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: up with him. I do believe you can draft and

596
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: develop well at certain positions with continuity on the coaching staff.

597
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: Like some teams are better at certain positions. I would

598
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: say the Saints are excellent at identifying and developing cornerbacks

599
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: as much as Dennis Allen, you know, I make fun

600
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: of him, like that's that's what he does well, and

601
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: they're great at that and they've done it repeatedly. After that,

602
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't really know what's going on. They cut Equanymia

603
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: Saint Brown. Dennis Allen said he won't announce who the

604
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: backup quarterback is which is just stupid that he just

605
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: wants to continue the competition. I mean, you're gonna have

606
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: to announce it once Week one gets here, So just

607
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: just what are we doing here? Jordan Mims made the

608
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: team as a running back. He could be, you know,

609
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: a fantasy pick up during the year. Wouldn't be surprised

610
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: flying through the rest of these because you know, not

611
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: big headlines here, Evan, But just if you have any

612
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: thoughts jump in. The Pats cut Chad Ryland, who was

613
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: their fourth round pick. They traded up for him with

614
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's last draft last year. Bailey Zappie's gone. But

615
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: Joe Milton made the team and Joey Sly made the team.

616
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: How about that?

617
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Well, Joe Milton is a developmental guy worth hanging on

618
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: two and the Patriots are very much in sconstin a rebuild, so.

619
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: They look he looked pretty good in the preseason. Kishon

620
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: Booty made the team, which I was interested to see

621
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: because he played well. And so they're keeping a ton

622
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: of receivers and just see new sticks, all right. Only

623
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks from the twenty twenty four draft are currently

624
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: on an active roster of the team that drafted them

625
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: only two in their entire class. This is only you

626
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: know and a two years and three months later. I'm

627
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: saying that now because Bailey Zappi was cut, although he'll

628
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: probably end up on the practice squad. But right now,

629
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: can you name who those two players are? What draft

630
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two only two years ago? One of them?

631
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: The only first rounder was Kenny Pickett. Yeah, then another

632
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: quarterback didn't go to the third round.

633
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: I think Malik Willis was one of the third rounders, Yes,

634
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: mister irrelevant. Of course, Brack Purty is in that class,

635
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: and you know is now a plus quarterback. And then

636
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson is the only other one. It was actually

637
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: the last two quarterbacks drafted two seven red picks, so

638
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: it is a crap shoot. Sometimes. The Bills made their

639
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: moves today. They cut Frank or Junior. I was disappointed

640
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: to see that, no surprise, but he had a nice preseason,

641
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: so he might end up having an NFL career, which

642
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: would be cool. They cut Kareem Jackson, Lyle Collins, some

643
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: some veterans, Tyrrel Shavers, who was a young receiver I

644
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: was keeping an eye on. I just want to give

645
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: you the names of the Steelers wide receivers Evan before

646
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: we let you go that didn't make the team, that

647
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: did make the team. Rather, this is their group. George

648
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: Pickens okay, and then wide receiver two through five Van Jefferson,

649
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Roman Wilson who hasn't been healthy all camp, Calvin Austin,

650
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: Scottie Miller. Is that the worst? That's worse than the Patriots.

651
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: I know they have George Pickens, so maybe that makes

652
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: it better. But wide receiver two plot on, that's.

653
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: Layable individual play like playable individuals. You know, the Patriots

654
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: have a better receiver court. I think the Steelers having

655
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: George Pickens puts him over the top. But you know,

656
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: maybe may maybe Jalen Polk can become eighty five percent

657
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: of George Pickens.

658
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: I just mean like wide receiver two on that. Yeah,

659
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: that's the worst group in the league. I would say,

660
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't even.

661
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: Know if it's gonna matter the way that Arthur Smith

662
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: calls offense.

663
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's a fair point. Who is the wide

664
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: receiver too?

665
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: And land they're going to be playing a lot of

666
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: Darnell Washington this year.

667
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: It looks like I wouldn't be surprised they'll play like

668
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: three tight ends. All right, Let's let's wrap it up

669
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals cutting Desmond Ritter, who they traded Rondell

670
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: Moore for, who's a Week one starter at quarterback last year.

671
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: Now he didn't even make the Cardinals. They also caught

672
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Michael Carter at running back, who's had some moments. The

673
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Jags cut a bunch of veterans that you might know,

674
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, Adrian Amos, Terrell Edmonds, Jerry Rice's son. Made

675
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers like what do you make of this Chargers

676
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: receiver group?

677
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: Well, again, it's a team that just is going to

678
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: run the piss out of the ball. And you know,

679
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: it's like, what what receiver receivers can block the best

680
00:32:59,320 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: on the field.

681
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: I think that and that might not we'll see on

682
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: lad McConkey, but seeing him in person, like as you

683
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: know as NFL players go, just he's gonna struggle crashing

684
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: down on those outside linebackers sometimes just you know, not

685
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: a not a heavy guy. The Chargers also kept Tony Jefferson,

686
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: who had that big preseason finale wrapping up with the Bears.

687
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: You know what struck me with the Bears cuts was

688
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: like hard Knocks has done such a bad job getting

689
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: me invested in these teams this year. I just feel

690
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: like it's been like a music video of watching preseason

691
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: games this year that usually when there's cuts, I'm like, oh,

692
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: that guy from Hard Knocks gets cut, and I've watched

693
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: them all and this year I'm just I'm not I'm

694
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: not invested. I know it's not your team, but you

695
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: do live in Chicago, Silva. Where are you at with

696
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: the Bears with Hard Knocks, with their offense, anything.

697
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I have a lot of thoughts on the Bears.

698
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: They have like the easiest first half of the schedule

699
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: in the entire league. I think they're going to come

700
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: out of the gates five and two, six and one,

701
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: something like that, and the city is just gonna go

702
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: absolutely insane, to the point where like I'm gonna stop

703
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: liking the Bears at all and rooting against them because

704
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: they could just get so annoying. But I think they're

705
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: gonna be good. I mean, I think they're gonna win

706
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: ten games this year. There They're win total at on

707
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: sportsbooks is eight and a half. I think that nine

708
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: is a is a slam dunk. I think they're gonna be.

709
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Good having Silva on for this day. The meat and potatoes,

710
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: the Keto diet of days was a great decision. It

711
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: was a slam dunk. I loved it. Silva one of

712
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: the few men I know who truly doesn't root for

713
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: a team, unless you're hiding it from me. It's just

714
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: he's just a black hearted individual who's just all about

715
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: the fantasy value and making that money for you. So yeah,

716
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: if you if you want some help doing that in

717
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: your fantasy league'es go over to establish the run. Thanks Silva,

718
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Thank you. See man, all right, we're going

719
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: to wrap up NFL Daily. It's late August day, my

720
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: brother Dean rosenthal fiftieth birthday. By the way, he would

721
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: never listen to a football program. He just doesn't care.

722
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: But you know who does care a lot about roster cuts.

723
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: It's Ian Rapaport, fresh off a post roster cuts workout

724
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: and dressed down for the occasion. If you're watching on

725
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: YouTube just to just to see what a post workout

726
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: Ian looks like, you should like and subscribe on YouTube

727
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: to the show. Thank you Ian, what's going on?

728
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the great pleasures of my job

729
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: is when a deadline happens, we do some TV and

730
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: then I get a workout in and I know my

731
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 3: phone's not gonna buzz like it's been buzzing for the

732
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: last seventy two hours. So very nice and very cathartic.

733
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: Really, because I feel like it's still could buds.

734
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 3: First of all, No, there'll be some things, but it's

735
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: not like the flurry of like who do you hear

736
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: is getting traded? Is this guy available? Like, yeah, the

737
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 3: team's interested in this guy. Like that. Stuff is basically

738
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: NonStop for the whole week, so that you know there

739
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: will still be some trades the next couple days, but

740
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: that mostly ends.

741
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about a pox on the teams? As we record,

742
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: they still haven't even put their cuts out, which is

743
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: there's like four or five of them still out there.

744
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: Very annoying, but we know that the moves haven't finished

745
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: for the day. Anything that surprised you today, Ian with

746
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: all these cuts.

747
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that there's ever that many

748
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 3: things that are surprising on cutdown day. You know, teams

749
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 3: have been so much more proactive when it comes to trades,

750
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 3: Like I remember it was like six years ago or

751
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: something Gideveon Clowney got traded on cutdown Day from I

752
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: think it was the Texans to the Seahawks. That would

753
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: never happen now, that would be that would be at

754
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 3: the start of training camp. The Judon trade years past

755
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: would have been cut down day. Now, It's like teams

756
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: are way more proactive. They do things earlier, and I

757
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: think there's more real, honest conversations happening earlier. So you know,

758
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 3: we got a couple trades. I mean, we got an

759
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 3: Ernest Jones trade, we got a Malik Willis trade yesterday.

760
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: I mean, we've got some stuff. But I don't know

761
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 3: that it's anything's that surprising. I think Cadarius Tony getting cut.

762
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: How about OLBJ. I saw the way you put it

763
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: out and I'm not pushing on the insiders here, but

764
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: you said like this was always a possibility when when

765
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: they first signed OBJ. And I don't know, I heard

766
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism this offseason from OBJ. And maybe

767
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: it's more from like the fans and some of the reporters,

768
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: but it was it felt like to me this whole time,

769
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: when he's not on the field, Oh, he'll be fine,

770
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: He'll be fine. It's no big deal. Ob they really

771
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: seemed like they were carving out a big spot for

772
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: him on this team. I think it's pretty disappointing that

773
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: he's not going to be ready for the season.

774
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I would say, first of all, you know

775
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: the way I put it out when when something like

776
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: that happens, Like I do that intentionally right, like I

777
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: like to. You know, there'll be times when I'll add

778
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 3: context to a tweet and I will not get it

779
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: out fast enough and someone will beat me. And I've

780
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: done this for thirteen years and I am okay with that.

781
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: I really am like the OBJ thing. I knew somebody

782
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 3: might beat me on it, but I'm like, I would

783
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: like to put it out in the most context full

784
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: way possible. So like sources Beckham out the first four games,

785
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: like that's pretty splashy. But the reality is he had

786
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: a procedure surgery. I never got the sense it was

787
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: particularly close. I got the central offense didn't really want

788
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: to talk about it, and so I think that's why

789
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: it was sort of sort of shrouded in secrecy. Because look,

790
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 3: when a guy hasn't practiced all camp, they almost always

791
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 3: start on pup, especially when he's not been with the team.

792
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: I would also say some realism of where Odell is

793
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: in his career definitely helps. Like he's not you know,

794
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 3: Odell joining the Browns, which was like the world shook

795
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: when that trade happened, Like it's different now, he's a

796
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: complementary piece to an offense that's already very, very good.

797
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 3: So I think he'll play. I think he'll contribute. I

798
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 3: think it'll be helpful. There'll be some moments, but it's

799
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: not prime Odell. It's kind of what it is at

800
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 3: this point.

801
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: I do like that we get Ian Rappaport part analyst here,

802
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: not just the NFL insider. Your your boss, t'sy told

803
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: me to point that out, that you're here as a

804
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: role of providing some analysis, not just the hard news.

805
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: Give me some analysis on the forty nine ers. So

806
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: Brandon Nayuk is on the roster, no surprise, seems like

807
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: that's just a matter of time. And yet still nothing

808
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: and then uh Williams is not on the roster. What

809
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: is your what is your level of like do you

810
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: believe that Trent Williams will play Week one for the

811
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers at this point?

812
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 3: Hold on, Brandon Ayuk has to be on the roster,

813
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 3: like there's no I know there was not, Like I

814
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 3: know we were talking, like you know, conversations on insiders

815
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 3: all the time about like you know, you know, is

816
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 3: he going to hold out? He can hold out when

817
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: you there are benefits to holding in in other words,

818
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 3: you don't get fined. That's good generally, But the opposite

819
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 3: thing is like you have to play. So if Brandon

820
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: Ayuk doesn't have a deal, if he doesn't have something

821
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 3: that he likes, he's contractually obligated to play unless he's

822
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: going to like fake an injury. In that case, the

823
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 3: forty nine ers can start finding like he has to play.

824
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: Whereas Trent Williams is getting fined, is holding out but

825
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: he cannot play. That's his progat and he'll get fined,

826
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 3: but he can still not play. So it's a different situation.

827
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 3: I would say this about Trent Williams, and I am

828
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 3: in I think it's possible it gets done. I don't

829
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: know for sure that it is.

830
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: Right now.

831
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: I wish I know they have been talking. He is

832
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 3: a different dude. And if you were to say to me,

833
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: is there any player who would simply say, yeah, I'm

834
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 3: just not playing without a new deal like he would

835
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: be it. He does not like he is. He sat

836
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 3: out half the year with the you know team now

837
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: known as the Commanders because he didn't like the way

838
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: they treated his medical situation. Like he is a different dude,

839
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: So absent a new deal, Like yeah, I don't think

840
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 3: we're going to see him for a bit.

841
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: That was that was a pro move from you. There

842
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: almost said said it, but you didn't say it.

843
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 3: That's why I haven't said it on air since they

844
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 3: made the change.

845
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: That's why you've lasted so long. You've outlasted I know.

846
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: I remember when you were at the Boston Harold and

847
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: you're coming up to me. You and bre are both, hey,

848
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: there any stuff available at Pro Football Talk and stuff?

849
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: And now now look at you, you've outlasted them.

850
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: All that seems fake.

851
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: The dead the dead bodies of insiders that you've left

852
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: in your wake. I love it. What else do I

853
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: want to get to today? Do you have anything on

854
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: like the russ I know it has nothing to do

855
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: with what happened today, but just the russ Fields thing

856
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: and kind of the belief maybe in that building of

857
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and maybe how that that situation plays out

858
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: because here's what I would just point out. It's going

859
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: to be a tough situation for either quarterback. I don't

860
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: love that offensive line. I don't really love the wide receivers,

861
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: and I just think that what do you think the

862
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 1: feeling of the building is there?

863
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: Well, here, nobody cares about the offensive line. But let

864
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 3: me just say this first, I think we see week

865
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: one is not going to be what we're going to

866
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: see week like eight. I think they they are talented,

867
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: they're probably gonna not probably, they're gonna start two rookies.

868
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 3: I think they are going to get better. So yes,

869
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 3: it's important. It's sort of like the Cowboys, Like I

870
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 3: could see the Cowboys struggling in the offensive line week

871
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 3: one and everyone will lose their brains. But they are

872
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 3: young and talented, like they're gonna get better, and no

873
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: one cares about the offensive whatever. I don't think it's

874
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: a tough situation for Justin Fields. I don't. I think

875
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: he got traded to a place that is good for him,

876
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 3: best place he could have got traded for. He has

877
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: played well in the preseason practices, he's played okay in

878
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 3: preseason games, and he is the guy who would sort

879
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: of theoretically come in for the upset, and he is

880
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 3: very talented and I know has made a really positive

881
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: impression in the building, just as far as how smart

882
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 3: he is, work ethic, how engaged he is. Like you know,

883
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: the thought of Arthur Smith kind of making him his

884
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 3: Tannehill but more talented, Like that's pretty real, Like that

885
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: would be pretty good go for us. And look, he's

886
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 3: made so much money and had a lot of success

887
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: and so like, no one feels sorry for no one cares.

888
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: But he was sort of annoying.

889
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: Saying no one cares. I mean, people care, people care

890
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: about some people care about the nobody.

891
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: So sorry for Russell Wills. Yeah, but it is tough

892
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: because he was sort of anointed as the would be starter.

893
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 3: He had a calf injury, he watched fields play well,

894
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 3: he's played again, okay, And the fact that he hasn't

895
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 3: sees the job now yet is not like a great

896
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 3: great sign. So we'll see what happens. Are still a

897
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: really tough decision, but I don't think it's as easy

898
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 3: now as maybe it sort of should have been if

899
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: you had asked everyone on like July twenty seven.

900
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I'm using my rap sheet translator there and

901
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: picking up some vibes what you're putting down last one

902
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: just quickly. This could be a yes or no if

903
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: you want. But there's been no reporting on it, Which

904
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: is is there any chance Marsha and Lattimore like I did?

905
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: That seems so quiet and such a situation that I

906
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: don't understand. He hasn't been on the field at all.

907
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: I guess he's been hurt, but is there anything going

908
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: on there that he could get delt or something could happen.

909
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 3: I don't believe he's going to get dealt I believe so. Look,

910
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 3: it's an odd situation. I believe he and Dennis Allen

911
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: had a really good talk before camp. I thought he

912
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 3: was going to get traded this offseason. He did not.

913
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 3: He is an awesome player when he's on the field, awesome,

914
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 3: like really really really good. So if he goes out

915
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 3: and plays great, then I think there are no issues.

916
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 3: If he goes out and plays great and the team

917
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 3: is really struggling, then I'm sure we're going to be

918
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: talking about him with the trade deadline again. But I

919
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: don't get the sense that there's an injury now that's

920
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 3: going to keep him off the field. I think it's

921
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 3: more of he is very specific with his body and

922
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 3: his preparation. I think it's more of the team being like,

923
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 3: get ready, do your thing. See week one. I think

924
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: it was handled well. You know, these things can go

925
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 3: different ways, Like you know, would the Saint should be

926
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 3: better off with a third rounder or marsh On Latimer.

927
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 3: I would probably marsh On Latimore because he's very, very good.

928
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: I just sort of hope it stays that way.

929
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: I like it. Again, I used my rap sheet translator

930
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: that that was a good nugget. I'm glad I asked.

931
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: You gave me something that you know. Normally I might

932
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: text you and who knows if you'd tell me. But

933
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm picking up what you're putting down the vibes. We're

934
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,640

935
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: and there throughout the course of the season. I'm looking

936
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: forward to that possible. Yeah, I mean anything is possible

937
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: until next time. Yeah, football is back. We're excited about it.

938
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: We're back doing an AFC preview with Nick Right, that's

939
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,200
