And the wait continues. Welcome to 3 00:00:27,428 --> 00:00:29,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. We are live in New York City. 4 00:00:29,708 --> 00:00:32,548 Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, March fifteenth. My name is Sarah Walsh, 5 00:00:32,588 --> 00:00:35,468 Speaker 1: alongside Kyle Brand, Jason mccordy. And you may not know this, 6 00:00:35,508 --> 00:00:38,588 Speaker 1: but that is two phones. James Palmer, there's two of 7 00:00:38,588 --> 00:00:40,948 Speaker 1: those over there. I learned that the other night. All right, 8 00:00:40,948 --> 00:00:43,388 Speaker 1: down to business. The twenty twenty three league year, an 9 00:00:43,508 --> 00:00:47,988 Speaker 1: NFL free agency officially officially begins today at four Eastern 10 00:00:48,028 --> 00:00:51,428 Speaker 1: and that is when unrestricted free agents are formerly permitted 11 00:00:51,708 --> 00:00:54,948 Speaker 1: to execute those contracts with new clubs. It's a marathon, 12 00:00:55,108 --> 00:00:59,188 Speaker 1: and the race always starts with one in Rappaport's rap 13 00:00:59,268 --> 00:01:01,788 Speaker 1: sheet in here to give us the very latest, and 14 00:01:02,348 --> 00:01:04,948 Speaker 1: Ian I say, good morning, and we're going to get 15 00:01:05,028 --> 00:01:08,468 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers and Lamar in just a second. Please 16 00:01:08,588 --> 00:01:12,388 Speaker 1: talk to us about something that actually did happen. Yeah, 17 00:01:12,428 --> 00:01:14,868 Speaker 1: there actually were real free agents that are agreed to 18 00:01:15,028 --> 00:01:17,148 Speaker 1: terms on deals. Guys. We've heard of guys who are 19 00:01:17,188 --> 00:01:21,508 Speaker 1: really good, including David Montgomery, the now former Chicago Bears 20 00:01:21,508 --> 00:01:23,148 Speaker 1: starting running back, and a lot of people thought he 21 00:01:23,188 --> 00:01:26,028 Speaker 1: would end up resigning in Chicago. Instead, he goes to 22 00:01:26,108 --> 00:01:29,508 Speaker 1: a division rival. It is a three year, eighteen million 23 00:01:29,508 --> 00:01:32,548 Speaker 1: dollars deal with the Detroit Lions. So of course, the 24 00:01:32,588 --> 00:01:35,668 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions now have a pairing at the running back position. 25 00:01:35,708 --> 00:01:38,748 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift and David Montgomery. Was considered to be top 26 00:01:38,788 --> 00:01:40,828 Speaker 1: of the market for running back. He ends up getting 27 00:01:40,868 --> 00:01:43,348 Speaker 1: that on his deal. There were plenty more big deals yesterday, 28 00:01:43,348 --> 00:01:47,028 Speaker 1: including the Philadelphia Eagles, one of these Super Bowl participants, 29 00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:50,748 Speaker 1: retaining a key part of their defense James Bradberry, one 30 00:01:50,748 --> 00:01:53,348 Speaker 1: of their star corners, one of the top cornerbacks in 31 00:01:53,428 --> 00:01:55,668 Speaker 1: free ancy. He agrees to terms to go back to 32 00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:59,068 Speaker 1: Philly on a three year, thirty eight million dollar contract, 33 00:01:59,068 --> 00:02:02,628 Speaker 1: gets twenty million dollars guaranteed. The explored plenty of options 34 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:05,348 Speaker 1: another one, but most people assumed just based on where 35 00:02:05,348 --> 00:02:07,228 Speaker 1: the Eagles were moneywise, they would not be able to 36 00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:09,948 Speaker 1: bring them back. Instead, that's exactly what they do in 37 00:02:10,228 --> 00:02:13,228 Speaker 1: It is great to hear about James brad Barriott truly is. 38 00:02:13,268 --> 00:02:16,628 Speaker 1: In the meantime, we're hearing that the Sisteen Chapel in 39 00:02:16,628 --> 00:02:20,348 Speaker 1: the Vatican will release white smoke from its Chimney. When 40 00:02:20,388 --> 00:02:24,468 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers announced of his future, can you confirm and 41 00:02:24,548 --> 00:02:27,348 Speaker 1: where do we stand with the sort of quarterback of 42 00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:30,228 Speaker 1: the Packers. I did take note when Pat McAfee, our 43 00:02:30,308 --> 00:02:33,388 Speaker 1: good friend, posted a tweet yesterday saying that Aaron Rodgers 44 00:02:33,428 --> 00:02:36,228 Speaker 1: is going to come on one pm today, That's pretty interesting. 45 00:02:36,348 --> 00:02:39,108 Speaker 1: You know that Rodgers would not schedule that unless something 46 00:02:39,228 --> 00:02:41,548 Speaker 1: was happening. Here's where we are in the Aaron Rodgers situation. 47 00:02:41,548 --> 00:02:44,188 Speaker 1: I think it is essentially a foregone conclusion that this 48 00:02:44,228 --> 00:02:46,708 Speaker 1: will happen. It is not happen yet. I want to 49 00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:48,708 Speaker 1: be clear, I am not saying it is happening yet. 50 00:02:48,748 --> 00:02:51,868 Speaker 1: There's been several different reporting fall starts in this with 51 00:02:51,948 --> 00:02:56,188 Speaker 1: everyone thinking it's happening, momentum, excitement. It is not happen yet. 52 00:02:56,388 --> 00:02:59,068 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that feels like where it's going. Where 53 00:02:59,108 --> 00:03:01,268 Speaker 1: finally he will be a member of the New York Jets, 54 00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:04,108 Speaker 1: and all parties have been in communication. There is a 55 00:03:04,388 --> 00:03:06,588 Speaker 1: fel to be made here, There is an adjustment to 56 00:03:06,668 --> 00:03:09,388 Speaker 1: be made to Aaron Rodgers contract. None of that has 57 00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:12,348 Speaker 1: happened yet. The hope, though, the hope is that it 58 00:03:12,388 --> 00:03:15,268 Speaker 1: does end up happening today. Our long national nightmare will 59 00:03:15,308 --> 00:03:16,988 Speaker 1: be over and we will begin to focus on Aaron 60 00:03:17,068 --> 00:03:20,308 Speaker 1: Rodgers being the quarterback for the Jets. Meanwhile, the Jets 61 00:03:20,308 --> 00:03:23,468 Speaker 1: are also signing some of his friends. Alan Rozard, one 62 00:03:23,468 --> 00:03:26,108 Speaker 1: of the top receivers in free agency, expected a four year, 63 00:03:26,188 --> 00:03:29,828 Speaker 1: forty four million dollar deal. And obviously when this came 64 00:03:29,868 --> 00:03:31,748 Speaker 1: to light, when it became clear that Lazard was talking 65 00:03:31,788 --> 00:03:34,628 Speaker 1: to the Jets all the discussion, well, obviously Rodgers is 66 00:03:34,628 --> 00:03:37,548 Speaker 1: getting his guys. Maybe they may bring random cop too. 67 00:03:37,588 --> 00:03:40,268 Speaker 1: We'll see if that ends up happening. Despite having Elijamore 68 00:03:40,268 --> 00:03:43,548 Speaker 1: and the roster who's younger and faster. Anyway, Alan Lazard 69 00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:45,868 Speaker 1: was a teographer the Jets no matter what, considering they 70 00:03:45,868 --> 00:03:50,228 Speaker 1: will still run Nathaniel Hackett's offense in New York. Ian 71 00:03:50,348 --> 00:03:53,668 Speaker 1: Rappaport with the very latest, He'll be with us all 72 00:03:53,868 --> 00:03:57,148 Speaker 1: morning long. Sure Ian loves to hear that. Oh, don't 73 00:03:57,188 --> 00:03:59,388 Speaker 1: go anywhere. Ian has been in that seat for like 74 00:03:59,588 --> 00:04:01,708 Speaker 1: days on end. If we think we're talking about the 75 00:04:01,748 --> 00:04:04,788 Speaker 1: same things. So it feels like it feels like this 76 00:04:04,908 --> 00:04:08,988 Speaker 1: potentially could happen today. Nothing is official for the record here, 77 00:04:09,028 --> 00:04:10,948 Speaker 1: but it feels like Aaron Rodgers could be on his 78 00:04:11,028 --> 00:04:13,268 Speaker 1: way to New York. Guys will start with this, how 79 00:04:13,308 --> 00:04:16,308 Speaker 1: should Jets fans be feeling right now? Two phones? You're 80 00:04:16,388 --> 00:04:18,268 Speaker 1: up first. I just thought of this. This wasn't what 81 00:04:18,308 --> 00:04:20,508 Speaker 1: I prepared, but this, you know, the Vatican, the smoke, 82 00:04:20,588 --> 00:04:22,948 Speaker 1: it's kind of got me going on. This here's kind 83 00:04:22,948 --> 00:04:24,988 Speaker 1: of reminds me Jets fans are like the group of 84 00:04:24,988 --> 00:04:28,468 Speaker 1: people standing outside of Wonka's factor. Sure, and Willy Wonka 85 00:04:28,548 --> 00:04:30,988 Speaker 1: is going to come out aka Aaron Rodgers and he 86 00:04:31,108 --> 00:04:33,668 Speaker 1: is now there. Now who's getting a golden ticket to 87 00:04:33,668 --> 00:04:36,188 Speaker 1: come along with him? Is the interesting part. And it's like, 88 00:04:36,468 --> 00:04:39,348 Speaker 1: you know already, we know Lazard has a golden ticket. 89 00:04:39,468 --> 00:04:41,468 Speaker 1: Is Randall Cobb getting the Golden team? We'll see, We'll 90 00:04:41,468 --> 00:04:43,828 Speaker 1: see what ends up happening. But the interesting part about 91 00:04:43,868 --> 00:04:46,988 Speaker 1: all of this is that now the coaching staff that 92 00:04:47,028 --> 00:04:49,188 Speaker 1: I talked to yesterday, a couple of guys on it 93 00:04:49,228 --> 00:04:52,068 Speaker 1: were like, I don't really know, but I'll tell you this, 94 00:04:52,068 --> 00:04:54,748 Speaker 1: this would be the greatest ruse of all time if 95 00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:56,988 Speaker 1: he doesn't come in Land with us. I mean, that's 96 00:04:57,028 --> 00:04:59,028 Speaker 1: the mentality of guys. They're on the staff right now 97 00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:01,188 Speaker 1: and they're sitting there kind of like just waiting for 98 00:05:01,228 --> 00:05:04,308 Speaker 1: all this to happen like everybody else in the Jets organization, 99 00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:07,548 Speaker 1: because they're going, Okay, now we have to pivot and change. 100 00:05:07,748 --> 00:05:11,348 Speaker 1: And I think that part I'm curious about because you 101 00:05:11,428 --> 00:05:13,788 Speaker 1: go from what I think Joe Dubbin's company and put 102 00:05:13,828 --> 00:05:17,028 Speaker 1: together or they're in the right direction, like they're building 103 00:05:17,028 --> 00:05:19,068 Speaker 1: it the right way, and you're looking at this young 104 00:05:19,188 --> 00:05:22,668 Speaker 1: core and these guys on rookie contracts that are really talented, 105 00:05:23,028 --> 00:05:26,348 Speaker 1: and now you're going, but maybe for the next year, 106 00:05:26,748 --> 00:05:30,188 Speaker 1: we're all in and we're gonna change this this line 107 00:05:30,188 --> 00:05:32,948 Speaker 1: of thinking of how we're gonna build this team. Maybe 108 00:05:32,948 --> 00:05:35,348 Speaker 1: it's gonna last two years. I don't know how long 109 00:05:35,388 --> 00:05:37,908 Speaker 1: it's gonna last, but it's almost like we're gonna try 110 00:05:37,908 --> 00:05:39,548 Speaker 1: to go for a super Bowl and then maybe what 111 00:05:39,588 --> 00:05:42,948 Speaker 1: do they do? Go back, Jason to to what they 112 00:05:42,988 --> 00:05:46,348 Speaker 1: were doing, and you make sure in this period you 113 00:05:46,468 --> 00:05:49,268 Speaker 1: don't mess up what you were doing for the long haul. 114 00:05:49,548 --> 00:05:52,188 Speaker 1: You say, it doesn't matter, Kyle, if it feels a 115 00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:54,188 Speaker 1: lot like Tampa. We're gonna get Brady and we're gonna 116 00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:55,388 Speaker 1: try to win a super Bowl and then we'll figure 117 00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:57,268 Speaker 1: out the rest. Lay. Yeah, you know, it's exciting. I'm 118 00:05:57,268 --> 00:06:01,348 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's Augustus Gloop. You know this 119 00:06:01,468 --> 00:06:09,868 Speaker 1: just started, This just started four hours. I'm forget about 120 00:06:09,868 --> 00:06:11,548 Speaker 1: the rest of what he said, Like, we're just stuck 121 00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:15,268 Speaker 1: on Willy Wonker. I look at Jets fans and Rogers. 122 00:06:16,228 --> 00:06:19,468 Speaker 1: There you go. You're like nervously excited.

Like I just this fan 168 00:08:21,628 --> 00:08:24,388 Speaker 1: base in this organization, there's so much negativity and cynicism, 169 00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:27,268 Speaker 1: and this is an exciting day, like this is prom, 170 00:08:27,268 --> 00:08:29,588 Speaker 1: like you're going to prom because there's been so many 171 00:08:29,668 --> 00:08:31,628 Speaker 1: dates they've been on and there's been so many times 172 00:08:31,628 --> 00:08:34,228 Speaker 1: when the girls shown up and they're like, whoa, I 173 00:08:34,228 --> 00:08:37,188 Speaker 1: gotta go, Meaning like you're a Jets fan for years, 174 00:08:37,268 --> 00:08:40,188 Speaker 1: last last handful of years, and you've got your game 175 00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:41,788 Speaker 1: tickets and you got your jersey, and you bring your 176 00:08:41,828 --> 00:08:43,748 Speaker 1: kids and you drive down the turnpike in your park 177 00:08:43,788 --> 00:08:45,908 Speaker 1: and you walk in and under center. You got you 178 00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:48,908 Speaker 1: got these guys, and it's not a four time MVP. 179 00:08:49,348 --> 00:08:52,188 Speaker 1: This is a different deal. The Jets have had one 180 00:08:53,188 --> 00:08:56,868 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl quarterback this century. Just as a way of comparison, 181 00:08:56,948 --> 00:08:59,588 Speaker 1: the Lions have had two. Rogers has won the Most 182 00:08:59,668 --> 00:09:03,068 Speaker 1: Valuable Player Award four times. No Jet has ever won 183 00:09:03,148 --> 00:09:06,388 Speaker 1: it ever. Of a few franchises with like the Jags 184 00:09:06,388 --> 00:09:08,268 Speaker 1: and the Texans and some other guys, it just never 185 00:09:08,308 --> 00:09:10,828 Speaker 1: won an a VP. You're getting a guy. You guys 186 00:09:10,868 --> 00:09:14,188 Speaker 1: have been through some really rough days, weeks, years, decades. 187 00:09:14,348 --> 00:09:16,908 Speaker 1: This is not one of them. Mister Wonka, you're coming 188 00:09:16,948 --> 00:09:18,788 Speaker 1: to town. None of those guys are playing Wonka now. 189 00:09:18,828 --> 00:09:21,868 Speaker 1: They're not. They're they're Mike TV at best. Violet Beauregard, 190 00:09:22,108 --> 00:09:24,588 Speaker 1: I got a blueberry for our quarterback. Like that, that's 191 00:09:24,628 --> 00:09:27,628 Speaker 1: what you're getting. The guy. He's runs the factory, he's coming, 192 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:30,468 Speaker 1: he's bringing his friends. Is a positive day for Jets fans. 193 00:09:30,508 --> 00:09:32,628 Speaker 1: Be excited. You guys have earned it. Putting that way, 194 00:09:32,748 --> 00:09:35,748 Speaker 1: this is very reminiscent for me of three years ago 195 00:09:35,948 --> 00:09:38,668 Speaker 1: living in Tampa. Yeah, when Tom Brady came there. The 196 00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:41,188 Speaker 1: biggest difference, I would say between the Jets and the 197 00:09:41,268 --> 00:09:44,508 Speaker 1: Box is the Jets being in New York, whether they're 198 00:09:44,508 --> 00:09:47,188 Speaker 1: good they're bad, they're always in the media. They're nationally 199 00:09:47,228 --> 00:09:50,628 Speaker 1: they're in the media. Tampa is a smaller market, never 200 00:09:50,668 --> 00:09:52,668 Speaker 1: in the national media. Even when they were good on 201 00:09:52,948 --> 00:09:55,108 Speaker 1: a different Super Bowl run, they you're not a national team. 202 00:09:55,148 --> 00:09:58,108 Speaker 1: The way that the Jets typically are so brady coming 203 00:09:58,108 --> 00:10:01,188 Speaker 1: to town changed all of that. What it does is 204 00:10:01,228 --> 00:10:04,268 Speaker 1: it changed expectations overnight. Here's the other thing. He was 205 00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:06,188 Speaker 1: nowhere on the radar of you know, there was that 206 00:10:06,268 --> 00:10:08,268 Speaker 1: was you're going to go back to the Patriots. Never 207 00:10:08,468 --> 00:10:10,908 Speaker 1: were you ever thinking, as someone who and I grew 208 00:10:10,948 --> 00:10:12,468 Speaker 1: up in the Tampa by area, are you thinking that 209 00:10:12,468 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 1: this is a possibility? And so when you talk about 210 00:10:15,108 --> 00:10:16,708 Speaker 1: you've been flirting with this girl, you want her to 211 00:10:16,748 --> 00:10:18,428 Speaker 1: go to prom if we go back six months ago, 212 00:10:18,548 --> 00:10:22,428 Speaker 1: was this on the radar, that that Rogers could realistically 213 00:10:22,468 --> 00:10:24,188 Speaker 1: go to the Jets? So you wake up, I think 214 00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:25,788 Speaker 1: if you're a Jets fan and I know this is 215 00:10:25,788 --> 00:10:28,668 Speaker 1: how people in Tampa felt the day that the rumors 216 00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:31,428 Speaker 1: started percolating, and then after it became official. I mean 217 00:10:31,428 --> 00:10:33,628 Speaker 1: even after it's official, you can't believe it, Like you 218 00:10:33,668 --> 00:10:36,868 Speaker 1: can't believe that this is finally going to happen. But 219 00:10:36,948 --> 00:10:40,068 Speaker 1: what I will say is is it changes expectations overnight. 220 00:10:40,108 --> 00:10:42,988 Speaker 1: And I know, obviously Jets, Giants, New York fans like 221 00:10:43,028 --> 00:10:45,148 Speaker 1: you always think like this has got to be things 222 00:10:45,148 --> 00:10:47,268 Speaker 1: have got to change us. It is going to change 223 00:10:47,268 --> 00:10:50,228 Speaker 1: immediately what people think you can and should do. And 224 00:10:50,228 --> 00:10:53,228 Speaker 1: this is potentially the toughest best division in all of 225 00:10:53,268 --> 00:10:54,988 Speaker 1: football that the Jets play it. And you look at 226 00:10:55,028 --> 00:10:56,948 Speaker 1: what the Dolphins have done so far in free agency, 227 00:10:56,988 --> 00:10:58,868 Speaker 1: you look at the Bills and what they are, and 228 00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:01,748 Speaker 1: by the way, the Patriots. There's still the Patriots, but 229 00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:05,348 Speaker 1: immediately you bring Aaron Rodgers there, you bring a different 230 00:11:05,388 --> 00:11:09,348 Speaker 1: twelve there. It is the same amount of expectations and 231 00:11:09,548 --> 00:11:12,068 Speaker 1: overnight you were expected to win. And by the way, 232 00:11:12,228 --> 00:11:13,988 Speaker 1: the Box did it. I mean, so this is what 233 00:11:14,028 --> 00:11:16,148 Speaker 1: makes it a little bit difficult. They did it. And 234 00:11:16,188 --> 00:11:17,708 Speaker 1: then you could also go okay, and then look what 235 00:11:17,748 --> 00:11:20,188 Speaker 1: the Lions did a year later they send Stafford over 236 00:11:20,228 --> 00:11:23,388 Speaker 1: Stafford does it? I think unfortunately they set a pretty 237 00:11:23,428 --> 00:11:25,628 Speaker 1: tough precedence, both the Bucks and the Rams. And then 238 00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:27,068 Speaker 1: one other thing I want to say about the Boxes, 239 00:11:27,108 --> 00:11:28,828 Speaker 1: people are like, well, you know, like they blew it up, 240 00:11:28,828 --> 00:11:30,508 Speaker 1: and you know last year wasn't good. But what people 241 00:11:30,548 --> 00:11:32,588 Speaker 1: forget is they almost did run it back. I mean 242 00:11:32,628 --> 00:11:35,428 Speaker 1: they were a field goal and a couple of great 243 00:11:35,508 --> 00:11:38,708 Speaker 1: plays to Cooper Cup away from potentially hosting that NFC 244 00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:40,828 Speaker 1: Championship game. Brady brought them all the way back. I 245 00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:43,268 Speaker 1: mean they were really good again that second year. So 246 00:11:43,468 --> 00:11:45,948 Speaker 1: there not only was there a window and they succeeded 247 00:11:45,988 --> 00:11:49,028 Speaker 1: in that window, but they until last year like it 248 00:11:49,188 --> 00:11:50,908 Speaker 1: was working for them. And that's what the Jets are 249 00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:52,948 Speaker 1: going to have. I'm just curious because there's going to 250 00:11:52,988 --> 00:11:56,028 Speaker 1: be higher expectations. It's New York. It already happened and 251 00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:58,668 Speaker 1: worked in Tampa, it already worked in LA. This might 252 00:11:58,668 --> 00:12:00,508 Speaker 1: turn out to be a slug worse sizzler and not 253 00:12:00,548 --> 00:12:04,188 Speaker 1: a Wanka bar. Really, that's what I'm nervous about. Yeah, 254 00:12:04,788 --> 00:12:08,948 Speaker 1: that's nuts or work for me if you want to 255 00:12:08,988 --> 00:12:12,148 Speaker 1: view paradise. The Frenzy continues an NFL Network as you 256 00:12:12,228 --> 00:12:15,028 Speaker 1: covered with live breaking news on every transaction from our 257 00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:19,508 Speaker 1: insiders and expert analysis of every blockbuster deal. Free agency Frenzy. 258 00:12:19,668 --> 00:12:23,428 Speaker 1: Keith Rolling Today on NFL Network, take a look at 259 00:12:23,468 --> 00:12:27,228 Speaker 1: what has been going on in the NFC East this week. 260 00:12:28,228 --> 00:12:31,388 Speaker 1: A lot of moves happening there. Obviously, the Eagles lost 261 00:12:31,468 --> 00:12:34,988 Speaker 1: some folks. Jason Kelsey coming back, you jus, James Bradberry, 262 00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:38,468 Speaker 1: that was a huge news yesterday. The Commanders, we haven't 263 00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:40,548 Speaker 1: talked to so much about them this week. We will 264 00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:43,268 Speaker 1: dive into that next though. So, guys, when you look 265 00:12:43,308 --> 00:12:45,588 Speaker 1: at what's been happening in the NFC East, what are 266 00:12:45,628 --> 00:12:47,748 Speaker 1: your early takeaways from the moves that we have seen 267 00:12:47,868 --> 00:12:51,188 Speaker 1: so far in this division? James, we'll start with you. Listen. 268 00:12:51,668 --> 00:12:53,628 Speaker 1: List wasn't an alphabetical order. We could throw it back 269 00:12:53,628 --> 00:12:55,508 Speaker 1: off if we want Eagles right there at the top. 270 00:12:55,548 --> 00:12:58,268 Speaker 1: And I don't think that's changed with what the moves 271 00:12:58,308 --> 00:13:01,188 Speaker 1: that have gone on in this division. Because specifically it's 272 00:13:01,308 --> 00:13:04,268 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey coming back and being the center for Jalen 273 00:13:04,428 --> 00:13:07,068 Speaker 1: Hurts another year is huge. They're gonna put Cam Jurgen's 274 00:13:07,148 --> 00:13:08,908 Speaker 1: right next to him, the center of the future. The 275 00:13:09,068 --> 00:13:11,748 Speaker 1: entire group stays together. Yes, Miles Sanders not coming back. 276 00:13:11,748 --> 00:13:14,428 Speaker 1: When you saw Rashod Penny, Boston Scott, the Giant Killers 277 00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:17,068 Speaker 1: coming back and they love Kenneth Gainwell. This is an 278 00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:20,788 Speaker 1: offense that was top five in total offense, scoring offense, 279 00:13:20,988 --> 00:13:26,428 Speaker 1: third down turnovers, rushing number one in big plays, top 280 00:13:26,428 --> 00:13:28,588 Speaker 1: five in red zone. None of that is changing. So 281 00:13:28,628 --> 00:13:31,308 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what changes in terms of anybody, maybe 282 00:13:31,388 --> 00:13:34,428 Speaker 1: unseating the Eagles to the top of the NFC East, 283 00:13:34,468 --> 00:13:37,468 Speaker 1: as well as you get maybe the biggest leader outside 284 00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:40,348 Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts on this team back in Brandon Graham, 285 00:13:40,588 --> 00:13:42,788 Speaker 1: and he sends a message when he comes back about 286 00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:45,988 Speaker 1: the reason he came back. James Bradberry says the exact 287 00:13:46,028 --> 00:13:48,508 Speaker 1: same thing, that he was offered more money elsewhere but 288 00:13:48,588 --> 00:13:51,308 Speaker 1: wanted to come back to Philadelphia. There's a message that's 289 00:13:51,348 --> 00:13:54,908 Speaker 1: being sent by these two guys that have already returned, 290 00:13:55,308 --> 00:13:57,028 Speaker 1: saying I left some money on the table because I 291 00:13:57,028 --> 00:13:58,988 Speaker 1: want to win a super Bowl in Philadelphia, because I 292 00:13:59,028 --> 00:14:01,388 Speaker 1: like what we've built in what we're doing here. I 293 00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:03,588 Speaker 1: like the rest of the moves. We're gonna break them 294 00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:06,828 Speaker 1: all down. But I still think Philly and I think 295 00:14:06,868 --> 00:14:08,588 Speaker 1: Howard were talked about at the beginning of week. Kyle 296 00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:12,948 Speaker 1: will surprise some people. I think Bradberry coming back surprising people. Yeah, definitely. 297 00:14:13,028 --> 00:14:15,028 Speaker 1: I think for Shure, I thought Bradbury was out the door. 298 00:14:15,108 --> 00:14:17,588 Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson still hasn't signed back, and they've lost some 299 00:14:17,748 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: guys on defense as well. If I'm a Giants fan, 300 00:14:20,748 --> 00:14:22,868 Speaker 1: I'm excited. I mean Dabel now will be in his 301 00:14:22,948 --> 00:14:26,308 Speaker 1: second year, got his quarterback back in Daniel Jones franchise 302 00:14:26,388 --> 00:14:28,668 Speaker 1: sa Quon Barkley, so he'll be back. And all we 303 00:14:28,788 --> 00:14:32,108 Speaker 1: talked about last year was how well Daniel Jones performed 304 00:14:32,188 --> 00:14:34,868 Speaker 1: with the weapons that he had around him. And now 305 00:14:34,908 --> 00:14:36,748 Speaker 1: you go out and get Darren Waller. And I know 306 00:14:36,788 --> 00:14:39,068 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's gone through some injuries the 307 00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:41,748 Speaker 1: last season, but he was a back to back thousand 308 00:14:41,788 --> 00:14:45,228 Speaker 1: yard receiver in nineteen and twenty and he's a mitchmatch problem. 309 00:14:45,228 --> 00:14:47,228 Speaker 1: When you put a dB on him, he's too big, 310 00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:49,748 Speaker 1: he's too strong. When you put a lineback around him, 311 00:14:49,748 --> 00:14:52,628 Speaker 1: sometimes even the safety, he's just too fast. So now, 312 00:14:52,668 --> 00:14:54,908 Speaker 1: if you're Giants fans, you get a guy who can 313 00:14:54,948 --> 00:14:58,788 Speaker 1: potentially be Daniel Jones's number one target. And now Dabel 314 00:14:58,828 --> 00:15:01,708 Speaker 1: gets an opportunity to move him around and put him 315 00:15:01,748 --> 00:15:04,988 Speaker 1: in places to get open and go against guys cannot 316 00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:07,468 Speaker 1: cover him. And then on the defensive side of the ball, 317 00:15:07,668 --> 00:15:09,908 Speaker 1: you get Bobby O Karakay. This is a guy that 318 00:15:10,228 --> 00:15:13,388 Speaker 1: is just a tackling machine the last two years, two 319 00:15:13,468 --> 00:15:17,148 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine tackles, and sometimes in free agency, 320 00:15:17,188 --> 00:15:19,868 Speaker 1: the way you perform against a team can dictate that 321 00:15:19,908 --> 00:15:23,588 Speaker 1: team going to get you. The Giants, Yeah, seventeen tackles 322 00:15:23,628 --> 00:15:26,188 Speaker 1: and a force fall ball. They gave Daniel Jones a 323 00:15:26,188 --> 00:15:28,468 Speaker 1: little bit of a shot in that game as well. 324 00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:31,708 Speaker 1: But now you've added potential leaders to the team, guys 325 00:15:31,748 --> 00:15:34,308 Speaker 1: that can now quarterback to defense. You have Daniel Jones 326 00:15:34,348 --> 00:15:36,388 Speaker 1: on the other side. So if I'm a Giants fan, 327 00:15:36,508 --> 00:15:38,828 Speaker 1: this is a time to be excited. He was surprised 328 00:15:38,908 --> 00:15:41,308 Speaker 1: last year with how well the team has done, and 329 00:15:41,348 --> 00:15:43,668 Speaker 1: now here we are early on in free agency. You're 330 00:15:43,668 --> 00:15:46,028 Speaker 1: excited about designings that your team has gone out there 331 00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:48,628 Speaker 1: and may the Commanders were the other team. They're the 332 00:15:48,668 --> 00:15:51,068 Speaker 1: other team that was not there, not in the playoffs, 333 00:15:51,188 --> 00:15:53,668 Speaker 1: and so far in the off seasons, there's just no 334 00:15:53,748 --> 00:15:57,268 Speaker 1: buzz like we're sitting here in this strange period in 335 00:15:57,308 --> 00:15:59,308 Speaker 1: the history of the franchise where who the hell knows 336 00:15:59,388 --> 00:16:01,028 Speaker 1: was happening with ownership, Who the hell knows what was 337 00:16:01,068 --> 00:16:04,428 Speaker 1: happening free agency. It's promising they have draft picks, the 338 00:16:04,508 --> 00:16:07,108 Speaker 1: quarterback room, is Sam Howell and Jake from That's you're 339 00:16:07,148 --> 00:16:09,668 Speaker 1: in a division now with Jalen and Dak and they 340 00:16:09,708 --> 00:16:12,308 Speaker 1: just extended Daniel Jones. I'm not saying they should have 341 00:16:12,348 --> 00:16:15,188 Speaker 1: spent everything not nailed down in Washington and brought everything in. 342 00:16:16,188 --> 00:16:19,228 Speaker 1: Is that your quarterback Week one? Because last year we 343 00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:21,108 Speaker 1: did the one done with Wentz, the same thing the 344 00:16:21,148 --> 00:16:23,348 Speaker 1: coast of the year before. What are we doing here? 345 00:16:23,508 --> 00:16:25,988 Speaker 1: I love Ron. I would love to see everybody at 346 00:16:26,028 --> 00:16:27,988 Speaker 1: the table in this division, But right now they're at 347 00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:30,308 Speaker 1: the kids table. They're sitting over there in the chocolate 348 00:16:30,348 --> 00:16:32,868 Speaker 1: turkey and the jello and the chicken fingers, and the 349 00:16:32,868 --> 00:16:35,588 Speaker 1: other three teams all are a city with adults. Yeah, 350 00:16:35,588 --> 00:16:38,988 Speaker 1: it's making themselves Sundays, whereas the Eagles, Giants and Cowboys 351 00:16:39,108 --> 00:16:41,788 Speaker 1: drink at Scotch. So it's not time yet, Like it's fine, 352 00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:44,188 Speaker 1: he's got a long offseason. Please come and join the 353 00:16:44,188 --> 00:16:45,828 Speaker 1: rest of the division at the table. We'd love to 354 00:16:45,868 --> 00:16:47,348 Speaker 1: have four for four and we don't right now, you know. 355 00:16:47,348 --> 00:16:49,388 Speaker 1: And I was listening to Judy Batista on NFL Network 356 00:16:49,468 --> 00:16:51,788 Speaker 1: last night and she's talking about Washington. She said, they 357 00:16:51,908 --> 00:16:54,148 Speaker 1: want him, say to be the starter. They're like they're 358 00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:56,068 Speaker 1: gonna bring somebody in, but like they want him to 359 00:16:56,108 --> 00:16:57,868 Speaker 1: be the number one guy. They don't want someone to 360 00:16:57,868 --> 00:17:00,148 Speaker 1: take And that's what she was saying last night. Maybe 361 00:17:00,148 --> 00:17:01,988 Speaker 1: that's the plan right now. I don't know if that 362 00:17:02,028 --> 00:17:04,068 Speaker 1: stays as the plan. I want to talk about the Cowboys. 363 00:17:05,068 --> 00:17:06,708 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big deal that they get him 364 00:17:06,708 --> 00:17:09,388 Speaker 1: over there. That's one of the best like cornerback duos 365 00:17:09,468 --> 00:17:12,148 Speaker 1: I think in the league between him and Trayvon Diggs 366 00:17:12,148 --> 00:17:13,708 Speaker 1: and then oh, by the way, drown Bland had five 367 00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:16,588 Speaker 1: interceptions to lead this team. I mean, that defense looks 368 00:17:16,708 --> 00:17:18,868 Speaker 1: as good. It's sort of it seems or it feels 369 00:17:18,868 --> 00:17:20,828 Speaker 1: similar to me the Niners, and we were talking about 370 00:17:20,828 --> 00:17:22,548 Speaker 1: it earlier this week that the Rich got richer on 371 00:17:22,588 --> 00:17:25,028 Speaker 1: defense there and they were already very good on defense, right. 372 00:17:25,068 --> 00:17:27,268 Speaker 1: We loved Dan Quinn over there. They've done amazing things. 373 00:17:27,268 --> 00:17:30,548 Speaker 1: They get Layton Vanderesh back. The defense looks great. The 374 00:17:30,588 --> 00:17:33,548 Speaker 1: defense is probably not why they exited the playoffs, right, 375 00:17:33,548 --> 00:17:36,668 Speaker 1: And so I think there's that idea of Okay, this 376 00:17:36,748 --> 00:17:39,708 Speaker 1: is awesome. They're they're loading up over there. What's this 377 00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:42,028 Speaker 1: team doing to get better on an offense? And there's 378 00:17:42,068 --> 00:17:45,308 Speaker 1: been so much talk about OBJ a year ago in 379 00:17:45,348 --> 00:17:47,708 Speaker 1: the middle of the season that he's going there, and 380 00:17:47,748 --> 00:17:50,388 Speaker 1: then we have that workout and I'm not sure what's 381 00:17:50,428 --> 00:17:52,028 Speaker 1: going on. I mean, I feel like we sort of 382 00:17:52,028 --> 00:17:54,428 Speaker 1: feel like that move. It would surprise me if that's 383 00:17:54,468 --> 00:17:57,748 Speaker 1: not the move, right, Like it would surprise me? Yeah, yeah, 384 00:17:57,828 --> 00:18:00,308 Speaker 1: Like I feel like he's going to go Would that 385 00:18:00,388 --> 00:18:02,548 Speaker 1: surprise you know? He's just excited to tell, Like I 386 00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,868 Speaker 1: feel like it has to. I feel like the Cowboys 387 00:18:04,868 --> 00:18:06,748 Speaker 1: fans think that that's going to happen. And if it doesn't, 388 00:18:06,748 --> 00:18:08,948 Speaker 1: if it comes out today that O'Dell's going somewhere else, 389 00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:11,108 Speaker 1: I think if you're a Cowboys fan, aren't you like, wait, 390 00:18:11,188 --> 00:18:13,268 Speaker 1: what aute? Isn't he going here? Like I feel like 391 00:18:13,308 --> 00:18:16,308 Speaker 1: he's been there guy the whole talking Yeah to me O'Dell. 392 00:18:16,508 --> 00:18:18,788 Speaker 1: Adding O'Dell to Dallas Cowboys is like, you know, you 393 00:18:18,868 --> 00:18:20,828 Speaker 1: have a Long Island iced tea and it has like 394 00:18:20,988 --> 00:18:23,148 Speaker 1: six liquors and juices and it's just like grabbing one 395 00:18:23,188 --> 00:18:25,388 Speaker 1: more and pouring another liquor and they're like, I'm already 396 00:18:25,468 --> 00:18:27,148 Speaker 1: gonna get drunk and still the same product. It just 397 00:18:27,188 --> 00:18:29,508 Speaker 1: slightly changes the flavor they got eliminated fro the playoffs 398 00:18:29,548 --> 00:18:32,388 Speaker 1: because Dak Prescott was woefully outplayed by Bruck Purdy. Like 399 00:18:32,428 --> 00:18:35,068 Speaker 1: that that's the reason that happened. I don't think O'Dell 400 00:18:35,108 --> 00:18:37,348 Speaker 1: fixes the Cowboys woes of twenty seven years. There'll be 401 00:18:37,388 --> 00:18:38,908 Speaker 1: a sell a lot of jerseys, I guess, but like 402 00:18:39,148 --> 00:18:40,868 Speaker 1: that's not the answer to me. No, I'm not sure 403 00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:44,948 Speaker 1: it fixes anything. Defense looks great though, defense Billy Luck. 404 00:18:45,788 --> 00:18:48,748 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson might want to keep his phone on today 405 00:18:48,788 --> 00:18:51,628 Speaker 1: which teams could be calling they're finally allowed to call him. 406 00:18:51,628 --> 00:18:54,348 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you some possible scenarios coming up next 407 00:18:54,348 --> 00:18:56,748 Speaker 1: four o'clock today. Tell us what it says on his 408 00:18:56,788 --> 00:19:14,028 Speaker 1: outgoing message I want to hear, Welcome to the morning football. 409 00:19:14,148 --> 00:19:16,788 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Rap Caves in Parts Unknown, New York. 410 00:19:16,828 --> 00:19:19,308 Speaker 1: And it is seven thirty am. I'm sure your boys 411 00:19:19,348 --> 00:19:21,828 Speaker 1: are waking up about now upstairs somewhere up in the meantime, 412 00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:23,748 Speaker 1: people are waking up to hear about Lamar. Can you 413 00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:26,228 Speaker 1: tell those people why they may have to wait until 414 00:19:26,308 --> 00:19:28,508 Speaker 1: four pm today and what that means? Well, then I'll 415 00:19:28,548 --> 00:19:30,508 Speaker 1: have to wait to hear about Lamar. We've been talking 416 00:19:30,548 --> 00:19:33,588 Speaker 1: about him all week and actually last week too, and 417 00:19:33,628 --> 00:19:35,948 Speaker 1: really for the last several months and actually the last 418 00:19:35,948 --> 00:19:38,828 Speaker 1: several years. But at four o'clock today, officially teams are 419 00:19:38,868 --> 00:19:42,348 Speaker 1: allowed to contact Lamar Jackson himself about potentially signing them 420 00:19:42,388 --> 00:19:44,548 Speaker 1: to an offer sheet prying him away from the Ravens 421 00:19:44,548 --> 00:19:48,548 Speaker 1: for a huge, multimillion dollar, potentially fully guaranteed deal giving 422 00:19:48,548 --> 00:19:50,588 Speaker 1: the Ravens two first round picks for the right to 423 00:19:50,628 --> 00:19:53,068 Speaker 1: sign him. It just doesn't seem like that is something 424 00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:56,068 Speaker 1: that is going to happen, unless I've completely misread the market, 425 00:19:56,108 --> 00:19:58,748 Speaker 1: which I've guessed theoretically could be possible. It just doesn't 426 00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:01,228 Speaker 1: seem like teams are scrambling to sign him. And the 427 00:20:01,228 --> 00:20:02,828 Speaker 1: reason why, by the way, you have to wait till 428 00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:05,868 Speaker 1: four o'clock is because Lamar Jackson does not have an agent, 429 00:20:05,988 --> 00:20:09,108 Speaker 1: so teams are not allowed to discuss anything like this 430 00:20:09,148 --> 00:20:12,148 Speaker 1: with him before that. Similar, I would say to Jacoby Brisset, 431 00:20:12,228 --> 00:20:14,908 Speaker 1: similar to Bobby Wagner, all do not an agent's teams 432 00:20:14,948 --> 00:20:18,228 Speaker 1: cannot contact them before four pm today. As far as 433 00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:20,148 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you know, this kind of got interesting a 434 00:20:20,148 --> 00:20:23,028 Speaker 1: little bit yesterday. Maybe add a little fired to this 435 00:20:23,148 --> 00:20:26,348 Speaker 1: conversation that we've been discussing. He talked about a offer 436 00:20:26,428 --> 00:20:28,388 Speaker 1: that he got for the Ravens three years, one hundred 437 00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:32,148 Speaker 1: thirty two million dollars fully guaranteed. They tried various options 438 00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:34,428 Speaker 1: to try to get this thing done. It has not 439 00:20:34,628 --> 00:20:37,748 Speaker 1: gotten done. To release today four pm mikapanet officially what 440 00:20:37,868 --> 00:20:40,588 Speaker 1: his market is. It really as exciting and we appreciate 441 00:20:40,628 --> 00:20:43,188 Speaker 1: you and the tweet just added a little kindling to 442 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:45,188 Speaker 1: that fire that we've been smoking at and we'll get 443 00:20:45,188 --> 00:20:48,108 Speaker 1: back to ian belief very shortly. Thank you rap sheet 444 00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:50,788 Speaker 1: last week, So follow the timeline here. The Ravens placed 445 00:20:50,788 --> 00:20:53,948 Speaker 1: the non exclusive tag on their franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson. 446 00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:56,268 Speaker 1: What that means is other teams can make him an 447 00:20:56,268 --> 00:20:58,668 Speaker 1: offer and the Ravens have a chance to match those 448 00:20:58,708 --> 00:21:01,428 Speaker 1: offers if they even come. So we were talking about 449 00:21:01,468 --> 00:21:04,348 Speaker 1: this earlier in the week that since Lamar is self represented, 450 00:21:04,588 --> 00:21:05,908 Speaker 1: we don't know how you get in touch with them. 451 00:21:05,988 --> 00:21:07,708 Speaker 1: Do you actually call him? And if you call him, 452 00:21:07,828 --> 00:21:09,668 Speaker 1: is there just a voicemail box? Is it full? Like 453 00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:11,948 Speaker 1: we're actually genuinely curious about this and you're not going 454 00:21:12,028 --> 00:21:16,308 Speaker 1: to believe this. We have secured some made up voicemails 455 00:21:16,388 --> 00:21:18,628 Speaker 1: that some of the teams could could be interested him 456 00:21:18,908 --> 00:21:21,948 Speaker 1: have left him making an offer. Now you might not 457 00:21:21,988 --> 00:21:24,308 Speaker 1: believe this, but these are first recal calls, but they're 458 00:21:24,308 --> 00:21:27,868 Speaker 1: probably some representative Lest anyone think that these are real, 459 00:21:27,988 --> 00:21:31,108 Speaker 1: you'll find out shortly that these are satirical. But here's 460 00:21:31,108 --> 00:21:33,228 Speaker 1: the Lamar Jackson voicemail box. Guys, we're gonna play something 461 00:21:33,188 --> 00:21:35,108 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna react to it. First voicemail, This 462 00:21:35,148 --> 00:21:38,828 Speaker 1: one comes from the South Atlanta Falcon's head coach Arthur 463 00:21:38,908 --> 00:21:42,468 Speaker 1: Smith talking to Lamar's voicemail. Hello, no one is available 464 00:21:42,508 --> 00:21:47,148 Speaker 1: to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone. Hey, Lamar, 465 00:21:47,468 --> 00:21:49,868 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith here, we here down in Atlanta are ready 466 00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:52,108 Speaker 1: for you to be our new franchise QB. We've got 467 00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:54,348 Speaker 1: the money to back it up. Think about this. You 468 00:21:54,628 --> 00:21:58,348 Speaker 1: could be the next Falcons QB legend, alongside guys like 469 00:21:58,588 --> 00:22:03,748 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Michael Vick and the others. Anyways, call me 470 00:22:04,668 --> 00:22:06,748 Speaker 1: all right. So that was Coach Smith leaving the message 471 00:22:06,788 --> 00:22:09,108 Speaker 1: on a Lamar's answering machine. Let's just go around if 472 00:22:09,108 --> 00:22:10,828 Speaker 1: we heard that. If you're Lamar listening to that, what 473 00:22:10,868 --> 00:22:12,348 Speaker 1: do you think about that as a landing spot. Let's 474 00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:15,108 Speaker 1: start with you, Jay, I'm excited, all said Michael Vick. 475 00:22:15,188 --> 00:22:18,388 Speaker 1: He said Lamar Jackson and the same statement. And if 476 00:22:18,428 --> 00:22:20,588 Speaker 1: I'm Atlanta, you look at what they did last year 477 00:22:20,628 --> 00:22:23,268 Speaker 1: with not many parts, and Arthur Smith was able to 478 00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:25,188 Speaker 1: string some wins together, but he was able to run 479 00:22:25,228 --> 00:22:27,588 Speaker 1: the ball week in and week out with so many 480 00:22:27,628 --> 00:22:30,348 Speaker 1: different formations, and it's had a ton of not a ton, 481 00:22:30,388 --> 00:22:33,588 Speaker 1: but it's had success with Mariota's starting in Tennessee and 482 00:22:33,628 --> 00:22:36,348 Speaker 1: then last year in Atlanta. So you add a guy 483 00:22:36,428 --> 00:22:39,268 Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson who had a ton of success with 484 00:22:39,468 --> 00:22:42,588 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, and you pairing with a guy like Kyle Pitts, 485 00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:45,628 Speaker 1: and they have the money, they can give him the 486 00:22:45,668 --> 00:22:48,268 Speaker 1: guarantees that he wants, and he can go to Atlanta. 487 00:22:48,628 --> 00:22:51,948 Speaker 1: Go there be the franchise quarterback and somebody that can 488 00:22:51,988 --> 00:22:54,068 Speaker 1: take them to the next level. So I would be 489 00:22:54,108 --> 00:22:56,668 Speaker 1: fired up if I was an Atlanta fan. Arthur Smith's 490 00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:59,388 Speaker 1: on the voicemail and get Lamar there. I'm surprised Arthur 491 00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:02,068 Speaker 1: Smith didn't say, do you understand the number of flights 492 00:23:02,068 --> 00:23:04,548 Speaker 1: out of Hartsfield Jackson that we have to Miami? Just 493 00:23:04,628 --> 00:23:06,708 Speaker 1: a battle chump. You should have said that down there 494 00:23:09,308 --> 00:23:11,428 Speaker 1: close we are to the amount of time you spend 495 00:23:11,428 --> 00:23:13,268 Speaker 1: in Miami. This would be a monster selling. But but 496 00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:15,108 Speaker 1: you're right to Jason's point, they were third in the 497 00:23:15,188 --> 00:23:18,188 Speaker 1: NFL and rushing with Marcus Murder. They are built. Honestly, 498 00:23:18,268 --> 00:23:20,668 Speaker 1: if if, if this was real, they're actually not in 499 00:23:20,788 --> 00:23:24,708 Speaker 1: Lamar contention. But as we're playing these hypotheticals, they're actually 500 00:23:24,748 --> 00:23:27,308 Speaker 1: the only offense that's really built for him. They are 501 00:23:27,348 --> 00:23:29,948 Speaker 1: built big down the middle. That's the way Arthur thinks. 502 00:23:30,068 --> 00:23:32,588 Speaker 1: That's why he was looking at Uh. You know, Drake 503 00:23:32,668 --> 00:23:34,788 Speaker 1: wasn't look at London right in the in the draft 504 00:23:34,828 --> 00:23:37,108 Speaker 1: of a season ago as opposed to all those other 505 00:23:37,108 --> 00:23:39,388 Speaker 1: receivers because they like bigger body guys to work the 506 00:23:39,428 --> 00:23:42,068 Speaker 1: middle of the field with Kyle Pitts us. Also, I 507 00:23:42,108 --> 00:23:43,428 Speaker 1: just have to say this, he should have said it. 508 00:23:43,468 --> 00:23:46,228 Speaker 1: They have had a very good free agency off season, 509 00:23:46,308 --> 00:23:48,308 Speaker 1: bringing back some of their own the addition of Jesse 510 00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:51,468 Speaker 1: Bates on that defense. They are they would be if 511 00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:54,188 Speaker 1: they were interested, actually a pretty good fit. Okay. The 512 00:23:54,308 --> 00:23:57,548 Speaker 1: difference in the Falcons, who finished last in the division, 513 00:23:57,588 --> 00:23:59,308 Speaker 1: and the rest of the division. The Bucks won the 514 00:23:59,348 --> 00:24:03,108 Speaker 1: division at eight nine, everyone else in the division seven. 515 00:24:03,388 --> 00:24:05,508 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a division that's why they were last, 516 00:24:05,628 --> 00:24:07,548 Speaker 1: could have been first if a game goes a different way. 517 00:24:07,548 --> 00:24:09,708 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how crazy close that division was, and 518 00:24:09,788 --> 00:24:12,548 Speaker 1: you don't go, hey, here's the obvious obvious leader in 519 00:24:12,588 --> 00:24:13,988 Speaker 1: the clubhouse. I mean, I think they're going to say 520 00:24:13,988 --> 00:24:16,268 Speaker 1: car because he's the most experienced quarterback. Now that went 521 00:24:16,308 --> 00:24:18,508 Speaker 1: to the Saints. They just locked up their guard down 522 00:24:18,548 --> 00:24:21,828 Speaker 1: there in Atlanta to a monster deal. Atlanta fans would 523 00:24:21,868 --> 00:24:24,228 Speaker 1: lose their minds and be fired up if you had 524 00:24:24,308 --> 00:24:26,708 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in that building. I mean, like the great 525 00:24:26,708 --> 00:24:29,548 Speaker 1: building this is, this is the quarterback they deserved. They 526 00:24:29,588 --> 00:24:31,668 Speaker 1: would be so excited by the way Arthur Smith he's 527 00:24:31,668 --> 00:24:33,348 Speaker 1: a lineman. You don't think that like at a former 528 00:24:33,388 --> 00:24:35,268 Speaker 1: offensive linement. I remember Matt Ryan telling me back in 529 00:24:35,268 --> 00:24:36,988 Speaker 1: the day that Arthur Smith said in an every single 530 00:24:37,068 --> 00:24:39,068 Speaker 1: quarterback meeting, you don't think that he would love to 531 00:24:39,188 --> 00:24:43,228 Speaker 1: mastermind what this offense could look like around Lamar Jackson. 532 00:24:43,308 --> 00:24:46,828 Speaker 1: So for Atlanta fans just alone, I mean I think 533 00:24:46,868 --> 00:24:49,628 Speaker 1: they would lose their minds if that came out. Well, 534 00:24:49,668 --> 00:24:53,108 Speaker 1: bad news for them. There's more voicemails. Oh not just 535 00:24:53,188 --> 00:24:55,748 Speaker 1: the one team show. I'm sorry about that. Sorry about that. 536 00:24:56,068 --> 00:24:59,068 Speaker 1: We got a voicemail from the Colts and a new 537 00:24:59,108 --> 00:25:02,148 Speaker 1: head coach on the block. Shane Steiken is going to 538 00:25:02,228 --> 00:25:04,868 Speaker 1: shoot his shot and leave a message for la Jackson. 539 00:25:04,868 --> 00:25:08,108 Speaker 1: Go ahead, coach some big hit. Hello, no one is 540 00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:11,468 Speaker 1: available to take your call. Please leave a message after 541 00:25:11,508 --> 00:25:15,628 Speaker 1: the tone lamar Shane Steichen here, and boy, do I 542 00:25:15,668 --> 00:25:17,868 Speaker 1: have an offer for you. You see Jalen Hurts ball 543 00:25:17,908 --> 00:25:20,668 Speaker 1: out this season. Well, guess what, I'm the guy who 544 00:25:20,788 --> 00:25:22,788 Speaker 1: was coaching him, so I think I know a thing 545 00:25:22,868 --> 00:25:26,348 Speaker 1: or two about utilizing mobile qbs. If that's not enough, 546 00:25:26,628 --> 00:25:28,708 Speaker 1: how does being teammates with one of the best running 547 00:25:28,708 --> 00:25:31,228 Speaker 1: backs in the league sound? You know, Jackson and JT 548 00:25:31,508 --> 00:25:33,228 Speaker 1: has a nice ring to it, and if you come 549 00:25:33,228 --> 00:25:35,268 Speaker 1: to Indy, we could get you an actual ring too. 550 00:25:35,948 --> 00:25:38,428 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is think about the division and who 551 00:25:38,468 --> 00:25:42,068 Speaker 1: you're up against. Ryan Tannehill more like Ryan over the Hill, 552 00:25:42,268 --> 00:25:46,788 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence more like Trevor Borrens, Davis Mills. Need I 553 00:25:46,828 --> 00:25:49,108 Speaker 1: say more, Give us a call back and let's make 554 00:25:49,188 --> 00:25:55,868 Speaker 1: this thing happen. Electric Factory from a lot, JP, I 555 00:25:55,908 --> 00:25:58,428 Speaker 1: hope you have information about flights from Indianapolis to Miami. 556 00:25:58,588 --> 00:26:01,028 Speaker 1: If not, what do you think about the Colts potentially 557 00:26:01,108 --> 00:26:03,348 Speaker 1: saying we're going for it. That's a cute little airport 558 00:26:04,508 --> 00:26:06,068 Speaker 1: like a lot of the other ones like Charlotte and 559 00:26:06,188 --> 00:26:08,508 Speaker 1: Nashville that they're building. Yeah, they all look about the 560 00:26:08,548 --> 00:26:10,668 Speaker 1: same in that group. I will say this, if you 561 00:26:10,708 --> 00:26:14,268 Speaker 1: make the pitch as Shane Steak and Chris Ballard, you're 562 00:26:14,308 --> 00:26:18,988 Speaker 1: not pissing off your quarterback because you don't have so 563 00:26:19,268 --> 00:26:21,548 Speaker 1: there is that that they have in their favor that 564 00:26:21,588 --> 00:26:23,548 Speaker 1: they can sell it to him hard and they're not 565 00:26:23,588 --> 00:26:26,468 Speaker 1: offending the guy that's already on their roster. That's that's a, 566 00:26:26,548 --> 00:26:28,548 Speaker 1: you know, a decent spot for them to be in. 567 00:26:28,588 --> 00:26:31,348 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't really, I don't know. 568 00:26:31,428 --> 00:26:34,388 Speaker 1: I don't think Shane's the salesman type you got. He's 569 00:26:34,388 --> 00:26:36,388 Speaker 1: got to get you in the room to work with 570 00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:38,228 Speaker 1: you a little bit, to sell you a little more. 571 00:26:38,668 --> 00:26:41,508 Speaker 1: Imagine Lamar watching this segment. The joke is he's actually 572 00:26:41,508 --> 00:26:43,508 Speaker 1: going to get calls. We think this afternoon, I heard 573 00:26:43,548 --> 00:26:45,428 Speaker 1: we had a message from somewhere in New England, but 574 00:26:45,428 --> 00:26:47,388 Speaker 1: I think the tape got all scrambled. In What Happens 575 00:26:49,388 --> 00:26:54,948 Speaker 1: ape Gate, it is time for Whiteboard Wednesday. While the 576 00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:57,708 Speaker 1: Free agency signing period officially starts this afternoon. I'm in 577 00:26:57,708 --> 00:26:59,788 Speaker 1: the middle of working right now. We've seen lots of 578 00:26:59,988 --> 00:27:03,148 Speaker 1: players already agreed to deals with new teams. Your favorite 579 00:27:03,308 --> 00:27:06,948 Speaker 1: move of free agency so far is and this is 580 00:27:06,948 --> 00:27:09,548 Speaker 1: what you're about to write out of a whiteboard, So James, 581 00:27:09,588 --> 00:27:11,268 Speaker 1: go ahead. I used the commercial break to write it. 582 00:27:11,348 --> 00:27:15,748 Speaker 1: So Broncos on day one, that's my favorite move so far. 583 00:27:15,828 --> 00:27:18,668 Speaker 1: Spent more money than anybody else in all of football, 584 00:27:18,948 --> 00:27:20,908 Speaker 1: and it's really there on the offensive line. I think 585 00:27:20,988 --> 00:27:23,348 Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking at because in two thousand and five, 586 00:27:23,388 --> 00:27:25,668 Speaker 1: Sean Payton comes to New Orleans and hero it's one 587 00:27:25,708 --> 00:27:28,828 Speaker 1: of the worst offensive lines in all of football. In 588 00:27:28,828 --> 00:27:32,588 Speaker 1: two thousand and six, in just one year, he transformed 589 00:27:32,588 --> 00:27:35,468 Speaker 1: that group. It was a completely different alignment in front 590 00:27:35,508 --> 00:27:37,388 Speaker 1: of Drew Brees, which he probably played a part in 591 00:27:37,428 --> 00:27:39,548 Speaker 1: it as well, as he arrived quickly as he gets 592 00:27:39,548 --> 00:27:42,148 Speaker 1: front of the football. Fourth in the NFL in sacks 593 00:27:42,188 --> 00:27:45,388 Speaker 1: allow they transformed that offensive line. It's something that Sean 594 00:27:45,428 --> 00:27:48,108 Speaker 1: Payton is very very good at. They go get Mike McGlinchey, 595 00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:51,228 Speaker 1: they go get Ben Powers to monster moves on that 596 00:27:51,308 --> 00:27:54,068 Speaker 1: offensive siloline, and then Zach Allen on the defensive side. 597 00:27:54,268 --> 00:27:56,188 Speaker 1: That was a move that they had dating back to 598 00:27:56,268 --> 00:27:59,508 Speaker 1: the interview with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph who said, I 599 00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:01,548 Speaker 1: think I can bring this guy with me. Maybe it 600 00:28:01,588 --> 00:28:03,468 Speaker 1: was part of his sales pitch, but I love what 601 00:28:03,548 --> 00:28:05,828 Speaker 1: the Broncos did on Day one. That's my biggest move. 602 00:28:05,908 --> 00:28:08,948 Speaker 1: I'm going with possibly the best free agent that was available, 603 00:28:09,348 --> 00:28:12,428 Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave. Then you see, you know, this guys leaving 604 00:28:12,468 --> 00:28:15,588 Speaker 1: Philly had eleven sacks last year, and you're thinking, all right, 605 00:28:15,588 --> 00:28:17,828 Speaker 1: he's gonna end up on a team that it's probably 606 00:28:17,868 --> 00:28:19,988 Speaker 1: not a great team but has a ton of catspace. No, 607 00:28:20,468 --> 00:28:23,028 Speaker 1: he goes to the best defense in football, to the 608 00:28:23,108 --> 00:28:25,428 Speaker 1: forty nine ers to be paired on the other side 609 00:28:25,428 --> 00:28:28,308 Speaker 1: of Eric Armstead and then oh yeah, Nick Bolsa's on 610 00:28:28,348 --> 00:28:30,788 Speaker 1: the outside for them. You look at them last year 611 00:28:30,908 --> 00:28:33,908 Speaker 1: eblcom have five sacks and Omana who have four and 612 00:28:33,948 --> 00:28:36,308 Speaker 1: a half. Both of those guys are gone and they 613 00:28:36,308 --> 00:28:39,428 Speaker 1: were the next ones after Nick Bolsa. Now you add 614 00:28:39,428 --> 00:28:42,228 Speaker 1: a guy like Hargraven there at that three technique to 615 00:28:42,468 --> 00:28:44,468 Speaker 1: nix it up in the middle but also be able 616 00:28:44,508 --> 00:28:47,308 Speaker 1: to get after the quarterbacks. Eagles fans are sick, but 617 00:28:47,388 --> 00:28:51,308 Speaker 1: forty Niners fans are rejoicing. Niners Gang Bang Bang Got 618 00:28:51,308 --> 00:28:55,268 Speaker 1: Hargrave love it. Jacobe Myers, Jacobe Meyers to the Raders, 619 00:28:55,308 --> 00:28:57,788 Speaker 1: just roll the damn clip. I'm not gonna say this 620 00:28:57,908 --> 00:29:02,188 Speaker 1: is like Bill Buckner signing with the Mets, or Chris 621 00:29:02,228 --> 00:29:06,748 Speaker 1: Webber signing with UNC or Missus Lincoln joining the cast 622 00:29:06,748 --> 00:29:08,748 Speaker 1: of that play. I'm not gonna say any of those things. 623 00:29:09,268 --> 00:29:11,868 Speaker 1: I cannot believe that they did this because this chip, 624 00:29:12,068 --> 00:29:14,748 Speaker 1: I'm so glad they did. This play is Jim Marshall 625 00:29:14,788 --> 00:29:16,908 Speaker 1: for this generation. If you know what I'm talking about. 626 00:29:16,988 --> 00:29:19,108 Speaker 1: Jim Marshall and the Vikings ran the wrong way and 627 00:29:19,228 --> 00:29:21,108 Speaker 1: he is eighty five years old and he will never 628 00:29:21,148 --> 00:29:22,788 Speaker 1: live it down. He was in a hell of a player, 629 00:29:23,068 --> 00:29:24,748 Speaker 1: but he once picked up the ball and ran eighty 630 00:29:24,828 --> 00:29:26,988 Speaker 1: yards the wrong way and then threw it into the 631 00:29:27,028 --> 00:29:29,708 Speaker 1: air to cause the safety. The difference is Jim Marshall 632 00:29:29,748 --> 00:29:31,868 Speaker 1: and the Vikings won that game. So who gives a 633 00:29:31,948 --> 00:29:35,348 Speaker 1: damn the Jacoby Myers Patriots, excuse me, now he's on 634 00:29:35,428 --> 00:29:38,348 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Its incredible, It's I think it is one 635 00:29:38,388 --> 00:29:41,348 Speaker 1: of the greatest passes in Raiders history. With due respect 636 00:29:41,348 --> 00:29:44,068 Speaker 1: to the Raiders quarterbacks Jacoby Myers then a Patriot, to 637 00:29:44,268 --> 00:29:46,428 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, a Raider. I'm so excited now they can 638 00:29:46,468 --> 00:29:48,228 Speaker 1: be teammates and that play will never be forgot. It's 639 00:29:48,228 --> 00:30:04,148 Speaker 1: not even close for me. Houston fell out of the 640 00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:06,668 Speaker 1: number one spot in the twenty twenty three NFL Draft. 641 00:30:06,708 --> 00:30:09,908 Speaker 1: Houston currently holds the second overall pick thanks to that, 642 00:30:10,148 --> 00:30:12,268 Speaker 1: and last week the Bears traded that top pick two 643 00:30:12,308 --> 00:30:15,028 Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers. But we want to focus right 644 00:30:15,068 --> 00:30:17,788 Speaker 1: now on the Texans because we got two phones. James 645 00:30:17,828 --> 00:30:21,868 Speaker 1: Palmer here all week, which means he knows stuff. Yeah. 646 00:30:22,108 --> 00:30:23,788 Speaker 1: If he doesn't know what he's on one phone. If 647 00:30:23,788 --> 00:30:25,068 Speaker 1: he doesn't get an answer there, he goes to the 648 00:30:25,108 --> 00:30:27,228 Speaker 1: other phone. That's how it works. We want to talk 649 00:30:27,268 --> 00:30:29,708 Speaker 1: state of the Houston Texas. It's a new era there. 650 00:30:30,148 --> 00:30:32,828 Speaker 1: Former Texans A linebacker Demiko Ryan's now the head coach. 651 00:30:32,868 --> 00:30:36,108 Speaker 1: So what will the identity of a Demiko Ryan's Texans 652 00:30:36,148 --> 00:30:38,348 Speaker 1: look like? Jameson They may have missed out on the 653 00:30:38,468 --> 00:30:41,788 Speaker 1: number one overall pick, they did not miss out on 654 00:30:41,868 --> 00:30:44,468 Speaker 1: their choice in terms of the head coach in the future. 655 00:30:44,508 --> 00:30:46,668 Speaker 1: Identity of the Houston Texans move forward. Let me take 656 00:30:46,668 --> 00:30:48,788 Speaker 1: you back to the year I started on the beat. 657 00:30:48,868 --> 00:30:50,708 Speaker 1: It's tarn the Houston Texas. It was a year after 658 00:30:50,788 --> 00:30:54,268 Speaker 1: Demiko Ryan's left that locker room and went to the Philadelphias. 659 00:30:54,508 --> 00:30:58,588 Speaker 1: I have never heard players talk about a former player 660 00:30:58,628 --> 00:31:02,108 Speaker 1: in their locker room the next season more than players 661 00:31:02,148 --> 00:31:04,428 Speaker 1: like JJ Watt and Brian Cushing would come up to 662 00:31:04,628 --> 00:31:07,348 Speaker 1: be like Demiko was here, we'd be doing blank not 663 00:31:07,468 --> 00:31:09,708 Speaker 1: on the field, but this locker room would be doing 664 00:31:09,828 --> 00:31:12,468 Speaker 1: back or we would be together doing They missed him 665 00:31:12,628 --> 00:31:15,988 Speaker 1: so much. He is such a smart individual. Andy Reid, 666 00:31:16,228 --> 00:31:18,628 Speaker 1: who coaching for a very brief period of time, said 667 00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:21,588 Speaker 1: he was one of, if not the smartest players he's 668 00:31:21,668 --> 00:31:24,748 Speaker 1: ever coached, and John Lynch raved about him at the 669 00:31:24,828 --> 00:31:26,748 Speaker 1: combine to a lot of us just talking about how 670 00:31:26,788 --> 00:31:30,148 Speaker 1: players would do anything for Demiko Ryans, and I think 671 00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:32,788 Speaker 1: that is going to show you that also, with all 672 00:31:32,828 --> 00:31:34,948 Speaker 1: of that said, the Texans have a lot of confidence 673 00:31:35,028 --> 00:31:38,268 Speaker 1: in him, giving him a six year contract. The other 674 00:31:38,308 --> 00:31:40,628 Speaker 1: part of it is Bobby Slowik, who used to be 675 00:31:40,668 --> 00:31:44,508 Speaker 1: a defensive QC guy sharing an office with Demiko Ryans, 676 00:31:44,588 --> 00:31:47,108 Speaker 1: is now the offensive coordinator there. I've never heard an 677 00:31:47,108 --> 00:31:51,468 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in their opening press conference, talk more about 678 00:31:51,588 --> 00:31:54,988 Speaker 1: the defense in my entire life, and that stems back 679 00:31:55,028 --> 00:31:57,228 Speaker 1: to the way Demiko's wired. Let me take you up 680 00:31:57,268 --> 00:32:00,788 Speaker 1: to San Francisco this past year. Every single Saturday night, 681 00:32:00,828 --> 00:32:04,188 Speaker 1: do you know what they watched as a team defensive highlights? 682 00:32:04,428 --> 00:32:08,068 Speaker 1: They didn't watch a single offensive highlight on Saturday night 683 00:32:08,388 --> 00:32:10,308 Speaker 1: as a team. They want to be fast, they want 684 00:32:10,308 --> 00:32:12,308 Speaker 1: to be physical, they want to be aggressive. That's the 685 00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:15,188 Speaker 1: identity that Demiko Ryans wants to build with this team. 686 00:32:15,548 --> 00:32:19,508 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that that tradition isn't going to 687 00:32:19,508 --> 00:32:21,828 Speaker 1: continue down in Houston where you trail. You have to 688 00:32:21,828 --> 00:32:24,588 Speaker 1: show better highlights with the defense Texans have, But that 689 00:32:24,668 --> 00:32:27,388 Speaker 1: kind of mentality is what Demiko Ryans wants to bring. 690 00:32:27,468 --> 00:32:30,628 Speaker 1: I miss Brian Kush right like I watched the gay play, 691 00:32:30,748 --> 00:32:33,108 Speaker 1: you know, I like to watch the play. Oh is 692 00:32:33,108 --> 00:32:35,748 Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? Jersey, Yeah, that's awesome. Listen. I'd love 693 00:32:35,748 --> 00:32:37,548 Speaker 1: to talk about Brian Kush. We have talked about quarterback. 694 00:32:37,708 --> 00:32:39,748 Speaker 1: So they do have the number two overall pick. As 695 00:32:39,828 --> 00:32:42,068 Speaker 1: very dramatically we saw what do you think, JP? You 696 00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:44,668 Speaker 1: think where do they go? They're obviously gonna take somebody 697 00:32:44,668 --> 00:32:46,828 Speaker 1: any inkling about where this franchise might lean. Well, yeah, 698 00:32:46,828 --> 00:32:49,548 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna take a quarterback. The thought process 699 00:32:49,588 --> 00:32:52,068 Speaker 1: this offseason was they weren't going to just add a quarterback. 700 00:32:52,068 --> 00:32:54,388 Speaker 1: They were going to add multiple quarterbacks. And we saw 701 00:32:54,428 --> 00:32:58,388 Speaker 1: what they did in the very start of free agency 702 00:32:58,508 --> 00:33:01,108 Speaker 1: was bringing in case Keenom. I think that's very telling 703 00:33:01,308 --> 00:33:03,828 Speaker 1: about what you want to do with the number two pick. Yeah, 704 00:33:03,828 --> 00:33:05,468 Speaker 1: I was there, bring him home. I was there when 705 00:33:05,468 --> 00:33:07,988 Speaker 1: he pendentally got I think Eric Kubeck fired in a 706 00:33:08,028 --> 00:33:10,748 Speaker 1: sense for the arguments they had whether he was going 707 00:33:10,788 --> 00:33:13,108 Speaker 1: to play or not down there in Houston. But listen, 708 00:33:13,268 --> 00:33:16,068 Speaker 1: bringing him in immediately shows me what you want to 709 00:33:16,068 --> 00:33:18,108 Speaker 1: do with that number two pick, and you possibly want 710 00:33:18,108 --> 00:33:20,548 Speaker 1: to play a rookie right away. They're comfortable, I'm told, 711 00:33:20,748 --> 00:33:24,148 Speaker 1: playing a rookie right in week one if that player 712 00:33:24,228 --> 00:33:26,028 Speaker 1: is prepared and has the skill set to do it 713 00:33:26,108 --> 00:33:28,308 Speaker 1: week one. I think case Keenum is telling in a 714 00:33:28,348 --> 00:33:29,908 Speaker 1: sense of what you want to do, because I think 715 00:33:29,908 --> 00:33:32,388 Speaker 1: that is another coach in the quarterback room. This is 716 00:33:32,428 --> 00:33:34,948 Speaker 1: kind of a Davis Webb type of situation of one 717 00:33:34,988 --> 00:33:37,868 Speaker 1: of those guys that just knows offenses so well to 718 00:33:37,908 --> 00:33:40,948 Speaker 1: help a young quarterback. They do feel and slow should 719 00:33:40,988 --> 00:33:43,348 Speaker 1: know this. They've played a lot of quarterbacks in San Francisco, 720 00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:45,428 Speaker 1: played three in one year last year. They can move 721 00:33:45,508 --> 00:33:48,508 Speaker 1: that system around to play to the strengths of whichever 722 00:33:48,588 --> 00:33:51,108 Speaker 1: guy they end up landing, and they could still land 723 00:33:51,188 --> 00:33:53,748 Speaker 1: their favorite. Say the Panthers are in love with c. J. Strout, 724 00:33:53,788 --> 00:33:55,628 Speaker 1: but but the Texans are in loved with Bryce Young. 725 00:33:55,748 --> 00:33:57,748 Speaker 1: Well they're at two and they still get their guy. 726 00:33:57,628 --> 00:34:00,108 Speaker 1: That is possible, and it could be vice versa. Yeah, 727 00:34:00,148 --> 00:34:02,508 Speaker 1: what I loved about case Keenum Lasha and Buffalo He's 728 00:34:02,588 --> 00:34:06,228 Speaker 1: dressing up darn was treking guys into autographs and all 729 00:34:06,228 --> 00:34:08,908 Speaker 1: of that. But aside from case Keenum, they've made some 730 00:34:08,988 --> 00:34:10,948 Speaker 1: moves in free agency. Do you have a favorite one 731 00:34:10,988 --> 00:34:13,148 Speaker 1: so far that they've done. There's two. I'll start with 732 00:34:13,188 --> 00:34:15,588 Speaker 1: my favorite. It's Jimmy Ward. And I had heard this 733 00:34:15,788 --> 00:34:19,308 Speaker 1: rumbling at the combine that some players in San Francisco 734 00:34:18,948 --> 00:34:22,308 Speaker 1: would want to join Demko Ryans essentially what I told 735 00:34:22,308 --> 00:34:24,348 Speaker 1: you in the first answer, just because they want to 736 00:34:24,348 --> 00:34:27,188 Speaker 1: be around him. He is a guy that is so versatile, 737 00:34:27,468 --> 00:34:30,588 Speaker 1: has played pretty much every position in that secondary and 738 00:34:30,628 --> 00:34:32,548 Speaker 1: when you look at the youth that they have in 739 00:34:32,548 --> 00:34:35,628 Speaker 1: that secondary with a star corner and Derek Stingley, who 740 00:34:35,748 --> 00:34:38,108 Speaker 1: was all the talent in the world. This system's gonna 741 00:34:38,108 --> 00:34:40,548 Speaker 1: fit him. I'll bring this up a lot better than 742 00:34:40,588 --> 00:34:43,468 Speaker 1: what Lovey Smith's system fit him in. He was hurt, 743 00:34:43,508 --> 00:34:45,628 Speaker 1: missed about eight games I think last year. This is 744 00:34:45,628 --> 00:34:47,748 Speaker 1: gonna be big for him. Jalen Petrie, I'll get to 745 00:34:47,788 --> 00:34:49,708 Speaker 1: him in a minute. In the safety position as well. 746 00:34:49,908 --> 00:34:52,108 Speaker 1: This is a big move to have some veteran leadership 747 00:34:52,108 --> 00:34:54,468 Speaker 1: in the secondary and the other one. It's strange, but 748 00:34:54,548 --> 00:34:56,988 Speaker 1: like Robert Woods, you're going to be relying on young 749 00:34:57,068 --> 00:35:00,908 Speaker 1: receivers in John Mechi and Nico Collins, and he'd have 750 00:35:00,948 --> 00:35:03,628 Speaker 1: a veteran in there, especially with a rookie quarterback. I 751 00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:05,188 Speaker 1: think it was a need to move early and you 752 00:35:05,228 --> 00:35:07,748 Speaker 1: didn't overpay to get that guy that has played in 753 00:35:07,868 --> 00:35:10,468 Speaker 1: very similar systems, playing in Los Angeles, playing in that 754 00:35:10,468 --> 00:35:12,828 Speaker 1: Shaw mcface system. It's very similar to the Kyle you know, 755 00:35:12,908 --> 00:35:14,708 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan type of stuff. That's slow, we run it. 756 00:35:14,748 --> 00:35:16,188 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk so much Texans on the next six 757 00:35:16,188 --> 00:35:18,708 Speaker 1: Weeksn't just any likelihood they move in the draft up 758 00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:21,028 Speaker 1: down otherwise I don't think so, because they're still sitting 759 00:35:21,028 --> 00:35:22,748 Speaker 1: there with that other first round pick, and I think 760 00:35:22,748 --> 00:35:24,428 Speaker 1: you can get your quarterback, and I think you can 761 00:35:24,468 --> 00:35:27,388 Speaker 1: get defensive line help as well. I think was it twelve. 762 00:35:27,428 --> 00:35:29,148 Speaker 1: I think they're sitting out with that other pick. Where's 763 00:35:29,148 --> 00:35:32,348 Speaker 1: the sheet which was right here? And so I do 764 00:35:32,428 --> 00:35:34,148 Speaker 1: think they have the ability maybe they move that to 765 00:35:34,428 --> 00:35:36,508 Speaker 1: add some picks, but with the draft capital they had 766 00:35:36,548 --> 00:35:37,628 Speaker 1: and the number of picks had, this is one of 767 00:35:37,628 --> 00:35:40,628 Speaker 1: the most interesting teams to follow go this offseason. You 768 00:35:40,668 --> 00:35:42,148 Speaker 1: know what we said when you said, where's the sheet? 769 00:35:42,188 --> 00:35:44,668 Speaker 1: We have a sheet on the desk that's got lists. 770 00:35:44,668 --> 00:35:47,108 Speaker 1: We need the quarterback, we need any things in the headman, 771 00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:49,228 Speaker 1: if we were all wearing the arm band, yeah, can 772 00:35:49,228 --> 00:35:50,948 Speaker 1: we get a wristband because we're going to be doing 773 00:35:50,988 --> 00:35:53,028 Speaker 1: this like every day for hours on end for a reason, 774 00:35:53,108 --> 00:35:55,308 Speaker 1: which I mean like, if if he would have just 775 00:35:55,308 --> 00:35:57,868 Speaker 1: said that, I would have said, oh, James confirmed twelve. 776 00:35:57,948 --> 00:35:59,748 Speaker 1: So if we could just get some quarterback wristbands, that 777 00:35:59,748 --> 00:36:02,228 Speaker 1: would be good. Ideas great coming up. You never know 778 00:36:02,268 --> 00:36:04,348 Speaker 1: where life is going to take you. Sometimes we're shot 779 00:36:04,828 --> 00:36:07,068 Speaker 1: to understand that when the crew is going to explain 780 00:36:07,748 --> 00:36:11,828 Speaker 1: next Yeah,
