That's Kyle Brent, Peter Schrager, Jason mccordy. We 7 00:00:33,668 --> 00:00:36,428 Speaker 3: just had a friend of the show in studio, Ross Tucker, 8 00:00:37,108 --> 00:00:39,708 Speaker 3: Princeton grad. But I think honestly leader in the clubhouse. 9 00:00:39,828 --> 00:00:42,828 Speaker 3: Fact about him is that he was roommates with Kyle 10 00:00:42,868 --> 00:00:45,788 Speaker 3: at Princeton. Sures that ensued and you got to. 11 00:00:45,748 --> 00:00:46,668 Speaker 2: Do a segment each week. 12 00:00:46,708 --> 00:00:48,148 Speaker 1: We'll just take one week for each of us to 13 00:00:48,188 --> 00:00:51,428 Speaker 1: bring in your old college roommate, college bro, or college friend. 14 00:00:51,548 --> 00:00:54,028 Speaker 1: I'll just go down memory lane. You got somebody lined up? 15 00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:58,188 Speaker 1: I got multiple Yeah, I bet you do, buddy, memory 16 00:00:58,308 --> 00:00:58,908 Speaker 1: stand up. 17 00:00:59,148 --> 00:01:00,228 Speaker 2: No, I don't. 18 00:01:00,068 --> 00:01:01,748 Speaker 4: Remember, but it's it's okay. 19 00:01:01,908 --> 00:01:02,668 Speaker 2: We have photographs. 20 00:01:02,668 --> 00:01:04,348 Speaker 3: I have a couple from Peter, and we could just 21 00:01:04,588 --> 00:01:05,468 Speaker 3: dev back if you want. 22 00:01:06,748 --> 00:01:08,348 Speaker 4: Yeah, who was your college room? 23 00:01:08,588 --> 00:01:11,708 Speaker 5: Taekwon Underwood right now, receivers coach pass game coordinate at 24 00:01:11,708 --> 00:01:12,828 Speaker 5: the University of Pittsburgh. 25 00:01:12,868 --> 00:01:14,548 Speaker 4: Oh that's so cool, fell wide receiver. 26 00:01:14,748 --> 00:01:15,988 Speaker 6: Yes, indeed very cool. 27 00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:20,468 Speaker 3: All right, Ian Rapport, You've been on Stamboi for the 28 00:01:20,548 --> 00:01:24,588 Speaker 3: latest from around the league. Because it's unfortunately cut down 29 00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:27,188 Speaker 3: day to fifty three four pm Easter in this afternoon, 30 00:01:27,228 --> 00:01:28,908 Speaker 3: we'll have a lot of names that we got to 31 00:01:28,948 --> 00:01:30,628 Speaker 3: keep track of where people are going and what's the 32 00:01:30,668 --> 00:01:32,428 Speaker 3: latest and last hour since we've chatted. 33 00:01:34,268 --> 00:01:34,708 Speaker 6: That's right. 34 00:01:34,788 --> 00:01:37,428 Speaker 7: Cuts are now ongoing and basically the way it works 35 00:01:37,468 --> 00:01:39,868 Speaker 7: is very simple. General manager coach calls in a player 36 00:01:40,348 --> 00:01:42,668 Speaker 7: and says we are moving on without you, and from 37 00:01:42,748 --> 00:01:44,068 Speaker 7: that point there are plenty of options. 38 00:01:44,108 --> 00:01:44,868 Speaker 5: There's the players. 39 00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:46,948 Speaker 7: There are a lot of players, hundreds of players who 40 00:01:46,948 --> 00:01:49,388 Speaker 7: will never play football again. There are sixteen players per 41 00:01:49,428 --> 00:01:51,948 Speaker 7: team who end up on practice squads. Then there are 42 00:01:51,948 --> 00:01:55,108 Speaker 7: other players who end up on various reserve lists NFI, 43 00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:58,508 Speaker 7: which is the non football injury list, was which Hendon Hooker, 44 00:01:58,908 --> 00:02:02,148 Speaker 7: the Lions quarterback, ended up on yesterday. There is the 45 00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:05,708 Speaker 7: PUP list, which is when a player offers a football injury. 46 00:02:05,788 --> 00:02:08,868 Speaker 7: Caleb Farley, the Tennessee Titans former first round pick, starts 47 00:02:08,908 --> 00:02:12,108 Speaker 7: the year on the reserve PUP list. That is another example, 48 00:02:12,188 --> 00:02:15,788 Speaker 7: similar to Kyler Murray the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback. 49 00:02:15,828 --> 00:02:18,508 Speaker 6: He also starts the year in the reserve pup. 50 00:02:18,668 --> 00:02:21,308 Speaker 7: That means players are out the first four games of 51 00:02:21,348 --> 00:02:24,268 Speaker 7: the season that can begin practicing after that. That is 52 00:02:24,308 --> 00:02:27,548 Speaker 7: what's going on today as teams go from ninety to 53 00:02:27,708 --> 00:02:30,348 Speaker 7: fifty three, a not fun day in the NFL, but 54 00:02:30,388 --> 00:02:33,388 Speaker 7: an important and in consequential day. It is also a 55 00:02:33,388 --> 00:02:35,388 Speaker 7: lot of times the day when you get some trades, 56 00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:37,348 Speaker 7: and that is why all eyes now are focused on 57 00:02:37,428 --> 00:02:40,828 Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor, the star running back still as of now 58 00:02:40,868 --> 00:02:43,708 Speaker 7: for the Indianapolis Colts. They have been in talks with 59 00:02:43,788 --> 00:02:47,308 Speaker 7: a couple teams, including the Miami Dolphins. There is interest, 60 00:02:47,748 --> 00:02:52,108 Speaker 7: there are offers, from my understanding, enough interest where Jonathan 61 00:02:52,108 --> 00:02:53,468 Speaker 7: Taylor would in fact be. 62 00:02:53,468 --> 00:02:54,308 Speaker 4: Able to get traded. 63 00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:57,708 Speaker 7: Genlemaner Chris Ballard has said he wants what he said 64 00:02:57,788 --> 00:03:00,388 Speaker 7: was essentially a first round pick. We'll see if it's 65 00:02:59,908 --> 00:03:02,828 Speaker 7: a probably more like a late first round pick, A 66 00:03:02,868 --> 00:03:06,788 Speaker 7: couple twos. In a lot of ways would potentially be 67 00:03:06,868 --> 00:03:08,788 Speaker 7: able to get that done. A lot of different ways 68 00:03:08,828 --> 00:03:10,868 Speaker 7: you can get to it. The Christian McCaffrey trade package 69 00:03:10,868 --> 00:03:14,068 Speaker 7: would certainly be one example. Either way, it is I 70 00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:15,868 Speaker 7: would say possible that by the end of the day. 71 00:03:15,948 --> 00:03:18,908 Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor, who has had a longgoing saga with the 72 00:03:18,908 --> 00:03:23,388 Speaker 7: Indianapos Colts, finally finally on another team with a new contract. 73 00:03:24,548 --> 00:03:24,748 Speaker 6: Ian. 74 00:03:24,828 --> 00:03:26,428 Speaker 3: I want to put you on the spot quickly because 75 00:03:26,468 --> 00:03:28,748 Speaker 3: Peter did bring up a good point last hour. The 76 00:03:29,508 --> 00:03:33,348 Speaker 3: graphics as teams plural, Yet you're only listing the Miami Dolphins. 77 00:03:33,348 --> 00:03:36,388 Speaker 3: We're not begging you to say who the other teams are. 78 00:03:36,588 --> 00:03:39,108 Speaker 3: Is it a team that we're obvious in need. 79 00:03:39,028 --> 00:03:40,508 Speaker 4: Of a running back or would it. 80 00:03:40,428 --> 00:03:41,148 Speaker 1: Be a shocker? 81 00:03:44,028 --> 00:03:46,908 Speaker 7: I would, first of all, if I knew for sure, 82 00:03:47,108 --> 00:03:50,788 Speaker 7: one hundred thousand percent that this team was definitely in 83 00:03:50,828 --> 00:03:52,708 Speaker 7: it and willing to trade for him, then I would 84 00:03:52,828 --> 00:03:55,108 Speaker 7: absolutely name him. I don't really care, I would do it. 85 00:03:55,508 --> 00:03:58,388 Speaker 7: This is one where I know where they stand and 86 00:03:58,428 --> 00:04:02,188 Speaker 7: I'm not one thousand percent sure where it all is, 87 00:04:02,388 --> 00:04:04,708 Speaker 7: so I will keep them unnamed. And if they are 88 00:04:04,708 --> 00:04:06,228 Speaker 7: the team, I would say it would probably be a 89 00:04:06,228 --> 00:04:09,428 Speaker 7: big surprise. But the dogage of the team right now 90 00:04:09,428 --> 00:04:10,708 Speaker 7: that I know for sure. 91 00:04:10,588 --> 00:04:14,508 Speaker 3: For sure, Okay, he only goes with it when he's 92 00:04:14,548 --> 00:04:18,668 Speaker 3: for shut to come back anytime. Inter rep Good Morning 93 00:04:18,668 --> 00:04:20,708 Speaker 3: Football today. When you are one thousand percent sure about 94 00:04:20,748 --> 00:04:22,268 Speaker 3: something that we want to hear about a right rap sheet. 95 00:04:22,268 --> 00:04:24,308 Speaker 3: We'll talk to you a little bit. Let's check in 96 00:04:24,548 --> 00:04:27,508 Speaker 3: on the reigning NFC champions Philadelphia Eagles. A. J. Brown 97 00:04:27,548 --> 00:04:28,908 Speaker 3: helped the Eagles make it all the way to the 98 00:04:28,908 --> 00:04:32,308 Speaker 3: super Bowl in his first year in Philadelphia after he 99 00:04:32,468 --> 00:04:34,868 Speaker 3: arrived from the Tennessee Titans, and he was asked yesterday 100 00:04:34,868 --> 00:04:37,628 Speaker 3: about his relationship now with his quarterback Jalen Hurts and 101 00:04:37,628 --> 00:04:40,508 Speaker 3: how it's evolved since his arrival before last season. 102 00:04:42,108 --> 00:04:45,708 Speaker 8: Just seeing stuff at the same exact time and communicating 103 00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:50,548 Speaker 8: on another level. You know, the play may be whole 104 00:04:50,588 --> 00:04:52,028 Speaker 8: another play on the other side of me and Jay 105 00:04:52,028 --> 00:04:54,748 Speaker 8: communicated something and we're doing on with things. And I 106 00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:57,508 Speaker 8: think that's the beauty of this offense. That's why I 107 00:04:57,508 --> 00:05:00,068 Speaker 8: love playing with him. That's why he's my favorite quarterback 108 00:05:00,068 --> 00:05:01,748 Speaker 8: because it's that's the only offense I've ever been able 109 00:05:01,788 --> 00:05:03,428 Speaker 8: to do that with, you know, And I think planning, 110 00:05:03,988 --> 00:05:06,548 Speaker 8: I think playing the game is that much easier when 111 00:05:06,588 --> 00:05:13,948 Speaker 8: you can't do those things like backyard footballs. 112 00:05:11,388 --> 00:05:13,628 Speaker 3: All right, Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown. It's the connection 113 00:05:13,668 --> 00:05:16,868 Speaker 3: that worked well last season for the Eagles, but how 114 00:05:16,948 --> 00:05:19,548 Speaker 3: could it grow in twenty twenty two. Now Here is 115 00:05:19,588 --> 00:05:24,028 Speaker 3: how their division rivals in the Dallas Cowboys ranked offensively 116 00:05:24,108 --> 00:05:27,628 Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty two season. Fairly similar, but those 117 00:05:27,668 --> 00:05:29,908 Speaker 3: pass yards per game obviously could be one of the 118 00:05:29,948 --> 00:05:32,348 Speaker 3: difference makers that carried the Eagles all the way to 119 00:05:32,428 --> 00:05:35,348 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl appearance. But after some off season of 120 00:05:35,428 --> 00:05:37,788 Speaker 3: changes really in both cities, you got to play call 121 00:05:37,828 --> 00:05:40,268 Speaker 3: her departure with the Cowboys, and now Mike McCarthy takes 122 00:05:40,268 --> 00:05:43,548 Speaker 3: over coordinator's leave Philadelphia and personnel changes. Who will have 123 00:05:43,588 --> 00:05:46,508 Speaker 3: the better offense this season? Is it Jason the Eagles 124 00:05:46,588 --> 00:05:47,388 Speaker 3: or the Cowboys. 125 00:05:47,588 --> 00:05:49,228 Speaker 5: Well, you asked a question like this, The first thing 126 00:05:49,268 --> 00:05:52,188 Speaker 5: I look at is the quarterback position, and Jalen Hirsch, 127 00:05:52,348 --> 00:05:54,508 Speaker 5: Jalen Hirts, jail and Hurts, and I'm going with the 128 00:05:54,548 --> 00:05:57,508 Speaker 5: Eagles because of him. Ross Tucker was just on here. 129 00:05:57,588 --> 00:06:00,468 Speaker 5: He's in Philly's called their games, he's been in their practice, 130 00:06:00,548 --> 00:06:03,388 Speaker 5: and he said Jalen Hursts looks even better this year 131 00:06:03,428 --> 00:06:05,708 Speaker 5: throughout the preseason and then he did last year. And 132 00:06:05,708 --> 00:06:07,908 Speaker 5: this is having in practice, joint practice. 133 00:06:07,508 --> 00:06:08,308 Speaker 2: Throwing the ball off. 134 00:06:08,428 --> 00:06:11,508 Speaker 5: And obviously Devonte Smith's down there somewhere. Aj Brown's down 135 00:06:11,508 --> 00:06:14,428 Speaker 5: there somewhere and I have no reason to believe he's 136 00:06:14,468 --> 00:06:16,588 Speaker 5: going to fall back. He has his weapons back on 137 00:06:16,628 --> 00:06:19,308 Speaker 5: the outside, His offensive line is still intact. They'll have 138 00:06:19,428 --> 00:06:21,508 Speaker 5: plenty of running backs to hand the ball off too 139 00:06:21,828 --> 00:06:25,708 Speaker 5: when necessary. Shane Sikeing is left, he's an Indy. There's 140 00:06:25,708 --> 00:06:28,468 Speaker 5: a great opportunity for his quarterbacks coach, Brian Johnson, who 141 00:06:28,508 --> 00:06:31,148 Speaker 5: now became the offensive coordinator. These guys have been in 142 00:06:31,188 --> 00:06:33,788 Speaker 5: the same room for the past two years. You look 143 00:06:33,788 --> 00:06:35,748 Speaker 5: at the jump that Jalen Hurts has had from his 144 00:06:35,828 --> 00:06:38,388 Speaker 5: rookie year to year two, then obviously being the runner 145 00:06:38,468 --> 00:06:41,428 Speaker 5: up to the MVP this past season. Brian Johnson has 146 00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:43,428 Speaker 5: been a guy in the meeting room coaching him up 147 00:06:43,508 --> 00:06:46,468 Speaker 5: every single day. Now we get a chance to see 148 00:06:46,468 --> 00:06:49,748 Speaker 5: on Sundays these two guys working together to continue to 149 00:06:49,788 --> 00:06:52,908 Speaker 5: develop that relationship, with now Brian Johnson being a play 150 00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:55,508 Speaker 5: ball with the guy in his ear each and every play. 151 00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:58,348 Speaker 5: So I'm excited as hell to see this combination go 152 00:06:58,468 --> 00:07:00,068 Speaker 5: to work, and I think it's going to have a 153 00:07:00,108 --> 00:07:02,228 Speaker 5: really good impact and this office is going to continue 154 00:07:02,228 --> 00:07:04,148 Speaker 5: to be good. We said it after last year. Jalen 155 00:07:04,188 --> 00:07:07,068 Speaker 5: Hurts has had the one really good year. Can he 156 00:07:07,188 --> 00:07:09,908 Speaker 5: do it again. Everything he has shown us from his 157 00:07:09,988 --> 00:07:12,708 Speaker 5: college day so since he's been in the prolls continues 158 00:07:12,748 --> 00:07:15,348 Speaker 5: to point to him, just continue to get better day 159 00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:17,148 Speaker 5: in and day out, and game in and game out. 160 00:07:17,148 --> 00:07:19,268 Speaker 5: So I'm excited and I'm going with the Eagles as 161 00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:20,828 Speaker 5: far as an offense that's going to be better this 162 00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:21,628 Speaker 5: upcoming season. 163 00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,348 Speaker 4: Brian Johnson has known Jalen Hurts since he was four 164 00:07:24,428 --> 00:07:26,988 Speaker 4: years old. Wild four years old. 165 00:07:27,388 --> 00:07:30,148 Speaker 9: Jalen's father was a high school coach and Brian was 166 00:07:30,188 --> 00:07:32,468 Speaker 9: a member of that team, and they've known each other forever. 167 00:07:32,508 --> 00:07:35,988 Speaker 9: So it's his incredible connection. So everyone thinks that, well, gosh, 168 00:07:36,068 --> 00:07:37,308 Speaker 9: you know, Shane Stikeen's gone. 169 00:07:37,508 --> 00:07:38,948 Speaker 4: The whole thing's gonna go fall apart. 170 00:07:39,028 --> 00:07:39,188 Speaker 1: Right. 171 00:07:40,348 --> 00:07:42,028 Speaker 9: There are people in that building who will tell me 172 00:07:42,068 --> 00:07:45,628 Speaker 9: that Brian Johnson was the most important part of Jalen Hurts' 173 00:07:45,748 --> 00:07:48,628 Speaker 9: ascension last year. I think the scary thing is I 174 00:07:48,628 --> 00:07:50,308 Speaker 9: think the Eagles offense is gonna be better this year. 175 00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:51,468 Speaker 4: I honestly do. 176 00:07:51,548 --> 00:07:55,348 Speaker 9: And I think my guy is not aj Brown and 177 00:07:55,388 --> 00:07:57,828 Speaker 9: it's not Jalen Hurts. I think DeVante Smith is going 178 00:07:57,868 --> 00:08:00,668 Speaker 9: to step into that conversation as like one of those 179 00:08:00,748 --> 00:08:03,428 Speaker 9: number one guys we talk about with Justin Jefferson and 180 00:08:03,508 --> 00:08:05,268 Speaker 9: Jamar Chase, it's. 181 00:08:05,108 --> 00:08:07,228 Speaker 4: A major jump. I'm doing these breakout players list. 182 00:08:07,348 --> 00:08:09,028 Speaker 9: I want to put Davonte Smith at number one, but 183 00:08:09,028 --> 00:08:10,868 Speaker 9: I feel like he's already broken out, so he. 184 00:08:10,788 --> 00:08:12,588 Speaker 4: Doesn't qualify for this. 185 00:08:13,068 --> 00:08:15,148 Speaker 9: I think what he's done in his short career has 186 00:08:15,188 --> 00:08:17,948 Speaker 9: been incredible, and I think this year, I think he 187 00:08:17,988 --> 00:08:21,348 Speaker 9: takes an even bigger lea. Now we know AJ Brown's abilities, 188 00:08:21,348 --> 00:08:23,588 Speaker 9: Now we know what we can do with the run game, 189 00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:26,108 Speaker 9: Now we know what we've got with Jalen Hurts. Davante 190 00:08:26,188 --> 00:08:28,828 Speaker 9: Smith is amazing. He was amazing in Alabama. He's been 191 00:08:28,868 --> 00:08:31,028 Speaker 9: great for two years. I think this is the year 192 00:08:31,068 --> 00:08:33,468 Speaker 9: we start talking about DeVante Smith in the same conversation 193 00:08:33,868 --> 00:08:39,028 Speaker 9: as Jamar Chase, Stefon Diggs, Davante Adams, and of course 194 00:08:39,148 --> 00:08:41,228 Speaker 9: Justin Jefferson. That's my statement on this one. I think 195 00:08:41,268 --> 00:08:43,188 Speaker 9: he takes a major leap, and I think the Eagles 196 00:08:43,508 --> 00:08:45,508 Speaker 9: are gonna be lights out on offense. The problem is 197 00:08:45,548 --> 00:08:48,548 Speaker 9: their schedules really difficult. Really, last year, their schedule was 198 00:08:48,588 --> 00:08:50,788 Speaker 9: not really difficult. They the easiest schedule in the league, 199 00:08:50,908 --> 00:08:52,548 Speaker 9: and they took care of business. They beat the teams 200 00:08:52,588 --> 00:08:53,948 Speaker 9: they had to beat, and they had home field and 201 00:08:53,948 --> 00:08:55,708 Speaker 9: they railed that all the way through. They're gonna have 202 00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:58,388 Speaker 9: to go into some really tough adverse situations this year. 203 00:08:58,908 --> 00:09:00,428 Speaker 4: Can they have as good a year record year? I 204 00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:00,708 Speaker 4: don't know. 205 00:09:00,748 --> 00:09:02,028 Speaker 9: I think their offense is gonna be just fine. I 206 00:09:02,028 --> 00:09:04,588 Speaker 9: think they will be better than the Cowboys. Like ooh, 207 00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:05,308 Speaker 9: I love Devonte. 208 00:09:05,308 --> 00:09:07,028 Speaker 1: I remember like when Pippin used to make first team 209 00:09:07,028 --> 00:09:08,788 Speaker 1: All NBA and it's like, you know how good Scotty's 210 00:09:08,788 --> 00:09:10,548 Speaker 1: having a Hall of Fame career too, Like it's not 211 00:09:10,628 --> 00:09:13,068 Speaker 1: all about twenty three, Like he's incredible. 212 00:09:13,028 --> 00:09:15,028 Speaker 4: Again, I'll go on our. I think DeVante Smith is 213 00:09:15,108 --> 00:09:16,468 Speaker 4: like that, dude. 214 00:09:17,068 --> 00:09:19,868 Speaker 3: I think it's also to his Alabama days. It's important 215 00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:21,228 Speaker 3: to speak to the fact like he's always been a 216 00:09:21,268 --> 00:09:23,548 Speaker 3: wide receiver that operates in a room with stars, like 217 00:09:23,588 --> 00:09:26,828 Speaker 3: he was on a team with Jalen Waddle, Henry Ruggs, 218 00:09:26,908 --> 00:09:29,268 Speaker 3: Jerry Judy and Tua was throwing in the ball and 219 00:09:29,348 --> 00:09:32,908 Speaker 3: DeVante Smith, Like that's that's an insane wide receivers room. 220 00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:34,948 Speaker 3: And so the fact that I'm sure he's happy to 221 00:09:35,028 --> 00:09:35,868 Speaker 3: work alongside A. J. 222 00:09:35,988 --> 00:09:38,388 Speaker 1: Brown, I'm sure too. I think he's used to it 223 00:09:38,428 --> 00:09:40,468 Speaker 1: as well. I have to go back to Jason. I 224 00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:42,428 Speaker 1: just look at the quarterbacks and you guys know here 225 00:09:42,468 --> 00:09:44,828 Speaker 1: at the table, I've been talking about this, this character 226 00:09:44,868 --> 00:09:46,348 Speaker 1: in the league that people are getting to know, and 227 00:09:46,388 --> 00:09:50,308 Speaker 1: his name is Dak Cousins. Kirk Cousins gets a lot 228 00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:53,028 Speaker 1: of crap for his play or inability to do this. 229 00:09:53,988 --> 00:09:56,508 Speaker 1: I still can't find a reason that Kirk Cousins and 230 00:09:56,588 --> 00:09:59,108 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott are actually different people. It's like it's the 231 00:09:59,148 --> 00:10:01,188 Speaker 1: same picture, and is it just me talking or like, 232 00:10:01,228 --> 00:10:02,988 Speaker 1: are their numbers actually bear that out. 233 00:10:02,788 --> 00:10:06,708 Speaker 2: And going to sack a Look, guys, you can tell me. 234 00:10:08,028 --> 00:10:11,108 Speaker 1: Tell me this has since Dak entered the league in 235 00:10:11,148 --> 00:10:11,948 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. 236 00:10:12,108 --> 00:10:12,628 Speaker 4: It's crazy. 237 00:10:12,748 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 1: Sixty one wins on the nose were a difference from 238 00:10:16,588 --> 00:10:20,668 Speaker 1: a six six tenths of a completion percentage exactly the 239 00:10:20,708 --> 00:10:23,348 Speaker 1: same yards of attempt, not like one seven five one 240 00:10:23,388 --> 00:10:27,868 Speaker 1: seven six we stuck the damn landing passer rating negligible. 241 00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:29,908 Speaker 2: Those are the same guys. 242 00:10:30,148 --> 00:10:31,228 Speaker 4: It's Kirk Prescott. 243 00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:34,188 Speaker 1: So if you think, like, well, the Cousins, they will 244 00:10:34,188 --> 00:10:36,628 Speaker 1: never do this, blah blah blah. You're entitled to your opinion, 245 00:10:37,108 --> 00:10:39,828 Speaker 1: But are you telling me that Dak can like is 246 00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:43,468 Speaker 1: there any difference at all? And I feel weird because 247 00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:45,748 Speaker 1: there's so much positive with Dak. He has literally the 248 00:10:45,788 --> 00:10:49,148 Speaker 1: Walter Payton Man of the Year. He's a really good quarterback. 249 00:10:49,188 --> 00:10:50,668 Speaker 1: I think he's a top ten quarterback. 250 00:10:50,748 --> 00:10:51,308 Speaker 2: That's a win. 251 00:10:51,908 --> 00:10:54,988 Speaker 1: But there's just this sort of like limit, Like when 252 00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,468 Speaker 1: you look at him, do you do you see Burrow? 253 00:10:57,708 --> 00:11:00,188 Speaker 2: Do you see Allen? I don't. 254 00:11:00,708 --> 00:11:02,988 Speaker 1: Here's what I see and bring it to my home. 255 00:11:03,148 --> 00:11:04,948 Speaker 1: You know what a movie I had never seenuntil recently 256 00:11:04,988 --> 00:11:06,548 Speaker 1: that this hot right now in my house. 257 00:11:06,588 --> 00:11:07,908 Speaker 2: You ever see this movie Enchanted? 258 00:11:08,228 --> 00:11:12,068 Speaker 1: There's Amy Adams and James Marsden and then mc McDreamy 259 00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:12,508 Speaker 1: and all that. 260 00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:13,348 Speaker 2: It's everywhere. 261 00:11:13,788 --> 00:11:15,268 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring it to a guy who comes up 262 00:11:15,308 --> 00:11:18,108 Speaker 1: at the table a lot James Marston. Normally Peter reference 263 00:11:18,148 --> 00:11:20,748 Speaker 1: to twenty seven dresses great, but James Marston, all right, 264 00:11:21,508 --> 00:11:24,508 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is like the James Marston character of quarterbacks. 265 00:11:24,548 --> 00:11:25,268 Speaker 2: Let me tell you why. 266 00:11:26,108 --> 00:11:32,268 Speaker 1: Great looking guy, likable, wholesome, supportive, so much positive, but 267 00:11:32,388 --> 00:11:35,508 Speaker 1: there's this other guy like James Marsen was like fifty 268 00:11:35,908 --> 00:11:38,788 Speaker 1: X Men movies, and Geen Grave was always like, I 269 00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:40,868 Speaker 1: like you but I love Wolverine. 270 00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:42,828 Speaker 2: Tough to compete with Wolverine. 271 00:11:43,268 --> 00:11:45,948 Speaker 1: He's in the Superman movie and Lois Lane's like, I 272 00:11:45,988 --> 00:11:47,908 Speaker 1: love you, but I love Superman. 273 00:11:48,548 --> 00:11:48,948 Speaker 2: He's in the. 274 00:11:48,948 --> 00:11:51,388 Speaker 1: Notebook and mcgahns like, I love you. 275 00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,828 Speaker 2: We got Ken. I mean, I love you. You're great. 276 00:11:55,908 --> 00:11:58,268 Speaker 1: But so Dak, there's nothing wrong with him. In fact, 277 00:11:58,268 --> 00:12:00,708 Speaker 1: there's so many things right with him. But he's in 278 00:12:00,748 --> 00:12:05,068 Speaker 1: a league of Wolverines and Superman and kend that he 279 00:12:05,228 --> 00:12:07,548 Speaker 1: just doesn't quite sat stack up with. 280 00:12:07,708 --> 00:12:10,148 Speaker 2: So like, you can win a lot of games. 281 00:12:09,828 --> 00:12:13,828 Speaker 1: With Marston or you know whoever it may be, competing Cyclops. 282 00:12:13,868 --> 00:12:15,948 Speaker 1: You know that's this guy. You can win a lot 283 00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:18,228 Speaker 1: of game Cyclops. I don't know if you're winning the soup. 284 00:12:18,428 --> 00:12:20,228 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're getting to the soup. So 285 00:12:20,468 --> 00:12:23,428 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with Dak. I think Jalen Hurts has 286 00:12:23,468 --> 00:12:25,388 Speaker 1: that Wolverine thing in it, though, Like I think the 287 00:12:25,468 --> 00:12:28,948 Speaker 1: Eagles have Superman. I think the Eagles have Ken, and 288 00:12:29,108 --> 00:12:31,748 Speaker 1: they have to play them twice. So I love Dak. 289 00:12:31,828 --> 00:12:33,788 Speaker 1: It's just we're bumping our head on the ceiling a 290 00:12:33,828 --> 00:12:35,948 Speaker 1: little bit. I don't think that ceiling's breaking. He's gonna 291 00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:37,908 Speaker 1: win a lot of games for you, and I don't 292 00:12:37,908 --> 00:12:40,308 Speaker 1: see it between Kirk Cousins and I think he's in 293 00:12:40,348 --> 00:12:42,828 Speaker 1: a divisional superman, So it's tough draw, tough draw. 294 00:12:42,868 --> 00:12:43,068 Speaker 2: Hell. 295 00:12:43,068 --> 00:12:45,268 Speaker 5: To your point, Jerry Joneses came out and said they 296 00:12:45,268 --> 00:12:47,708 Speaker 5: were gonna draft Jaalen Hurts, So you're saying the other 297 00:12:47,788 --> 00:12:50,308 Speaker 5: guy for Dak Prescotte, Hey, if Jealen Hurts was there, 298 00:12:50,348 --> 00:12:51,228 Speaker 5: they were gonna take me. 299 00:12:51,388 --> 00:12:53,148 Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. The lighting of the 300 00:12:53,188 --> 00:12:57,428 Speaker 3: fire underneath to somebody like a Dak Cousins. Uh, you 301 00:12:57,468 --> 00:13:00,588 Speaker 3: think bringing in Trey Lance maybe does a little something 302 00:13:00,668 --> 00:13:04,748 Speaker 3: something for Dak Cousins in Dallas because we see Aren 303 00:13:04,868 --> 00:13:06,988 Speaker 3: Jalen a lot because of what he's been through on 304 00:13:06,988 --> 00:13:09,428 Speaker 3: the football field. Do you think maybe there needed to 305 00:13:09,428 --> 00:13:12,348 Speaker 3: be something hot seat essentially put under maybe? 306 00:13:12,468 --> 00:13:14,468 Speaker 1: Is I just don't think it happened, like I think 307 00:13:14,588 --> 00:13:17,308 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's like, Wow, you brought in Trey Lance. 308 00:13:17,388 --> 00:13:18,148 Speaker 6: Like what am I gonna do? 309 00:13:18,148 --> 00:13:20,068 Speaker 1: I've better played better now or my job's gone. 310 00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:20,188 Speaker 8: No. 311 00:13:20,268 --> 00:13:22,748 Speaker 2: I think that. I think that's fun to talk about. 312 00:13:22,788 --> 00:13:24,588 Speaker 1: But like I was saying yesterday, I just can't jump 313 00:13:24,588 --> 00:13:26,868 Speaker 1: on that Dack's in trouble because Trey Lance is here. 314 00:13:26,908 --> 00:13:28,228 Speaker 4: I can't do it that. 315 00:13:28,388 --> 00:13:30,188 Speaker 3: That full screen is mind boggling. 316 00:13:30,308 --> 00:13:32,668 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's Wins the Winds six. 317 00:13:33,108 --> 00:13:35,548 Speaker 4: You're talking about Larsden. Gorgeous guys, great looking guy. 318 00:13:35,588 --> 00:13:39,348 Speaker 2: There's nothing but James Morrison is awesome sonic. I like 319 00:13:39,428 --> 00:13:40,868 Speaker 2: the Jack Lyon and Anchorman two. 320 00:13:41,068 --> 00:13:41,308 Speaker 6: Yeah. 321 00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:49,868 Speaker 3: So the big news from over the weekend, though that 322 00:13:49,948 --> 00:13:52,108 Speaker 3: raps sheet of course was all over, was that Trey 323 00:13:52,228 --> 00:13:55,028 Speaker 3: Lance was finally on the move from San Francisco to 324 00:13:55,108 --> 00:13:58,948 Speaker 3: the Cowboys. His now former teammate Brendan Ayuk spoke about 325 00:13:58,988 --> 00:14:01,108 Speaker 3: the trade that went down Friday night yesterday. 326 00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:04,348 Speaker 10: I mean, it's still surprising just because it's a close 327 00:14:04,428 --> 00:14:07,188 Speaker 10: friend of mine that he came in. He came in 328 00:14:07,228 --> 00:14:09,508 Speaker 10: here after me. I've been with him this all tart time, 329 00:14:09,908 --> 00:14:16,148 Speaker 10: and then to see him go and what two seasons. Yes, 330 00:14:16,228 --> 00:14:18,628 Speaker 10: so I would say surprising that standpoint, But just in 331 00:14:18,708 --> 00:14:21,628 Speaker 10: terms of how stuff goes, I can understand how it goes, 332 00:14:22,588 --> 00:14:24,668 Speaker 10: and I understand the competitor that he is, so he 333 00:14:24,708 --> 00:14:26,668 Speaker 10: wants to compete and go out there and give a 334 00:14:26,748 --> 00:14:29,188 Speaker 10: chance to show who he is to himself into the world. 335 00:14:29,308 --> 00:14:32,988 Speaker 10: So not surprising that aspect. That's the craziness of this league, 336 00:14:33,428 --> 00:14:35,668 Speaker 10: you know how it is. But yeah, for Sorret, seeing 337 00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:38,028 Speaker 10: him in a in a Cowboy uniform is different, seeing 338 00:14:38,068 --> 00:14:39,908 Speaker 10: the edges and stuff on social media is a little bit, 339 00:14:40,228 --> 00:14:42,108 Speaker 10: a little bit weird. But for short, happy for him, y'all. 340 00:14:44,748 --> 00:14:47,588 Speaker 3: So it's both ends the surprise spectrum for Brandon Ayuk 341 00:14:47,708 --> 00:14:50,068 Speaker 3: when you consider the move between the forty nine Ers 342 00:14:50,148 --> 00:14:52,628 Speaker 3: and the Cowboys. But at some point we're gonna find 343 00:14:52,668 --> 00:14:55,148 Speaker 3: out about how these teams really feel about the moves 344 00:14:55,148 --> 00:14:57,988 Speaker 3: that they made. Do you think Peter either team will 345 00:14:58,028 --> 00:15:02,188 Speaker 3: ever regret making this move? For trade lance, trade lance, 346 00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:02,788 Speaker 3: trade lance. 347 00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:06,068 Speaker 9: You know, all last last seventy two hours, different people 348 00:15:06,148 --> 00:15:10,108 Speaker 9: have been unpacking, like how the tree lance trade got made, 349 00:15:10,548 --> 00:15:13,868 Speaker 9: Like well, it was actually Shanahan who didn't want him, 350 00:15:13,868 --> 00:15:16,588 Speaker 9: and John Lynch and Adam Peters and those guys were 351 00:15:16,628 --> 00:15:18,428 Speaker 9: the ones convincing him at the last second to do it, 352 00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:20,668 Speaker 9: and it's his hands are clean. And then the other 353 00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:22,148 Speaker 9: side of it was like, well, Kyle Shannan at the 354 00:15:22,228 --> 00:15:23,508 Speaker 9: end of the day, like just was like I need 355 00:15:23,548 --> 00:15:24,508 Speaker 9: to have that extra weapon. 356 00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:25,028 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. 357 00:15:25,268 --> 00:15:27,028 Speaker 9: I don't have any clear stuff. I know the Niners 358 00:15:27,028 --> 00:15:28,868 Speaker 9: guys as well as anyone. And to this day, I 359 00:15:28,908 --> 00:15:31,868 Speaker 9: don't know who made the code read of saying let's 360 00:15:31,908 --> 00:15:36,228 Speaker 9: get Trey Lance. I also think that they weren't expecting 361 00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:39,228 Speaker 9: a fourth round pick to be offered, knowing that they'd 362 00:15:39,268 --> 00:15:42,188 Speaker 9: already deemed this guy a third round a third quarterback. 363 00:15:42,228 --> 00:15:44,028 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say no. 364 00:15:44,828 --> 00:15:47,828 Speaker 9: They are in looking at this thing now in hindsight 365 00:15:47,868 --> 00:15:49,588 Speaker 9: and they're like, you know what, he was our third 366 00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:52,628 Speaker 9: string quarterback. We decided that I don't care if Trey 367 00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:55,388 Speaker 9: Lance goes on and is it a superstar, then that 368 00:15:55,468 --> 00:15:59,468 Speaker 9: only justifies them taking him at third. Overall, their situation 369 00:16:00,308 --> 00:16:03,988 Speaker 9: made these happen. Their circumstances made this trade happen. Brock 370 00:16:04,028 --> 00:16:07,308 Speaker 9: perty their hands down number one. Sam Donald out played 371 00:16:07,308 --> 00:16:09,948 Speaker 9: Trey Lance for the number two job. I'll add this, 372 00:16:10,788 --> 00:16:14,028 Speaker 9: They're at practice every day. The players are at practice 373 00:16:14,028 --> 00:16:17,308 Speaker 9: every day. No one is crying bloody outrage when Sam 374 00:16:17,348 --> 00:16:17,948 Speaker 9: Donald doesn't know. 375 00:16:17,948 --> 00:16:20,268 Speaker 2: What we do too, how could we do this either? 376 00:16:20,868 --> 00:16:24,148 Speaker 9: It People know when you're there, and it's like we're 377 00:16:24,148 --> 00:16:25,028 Speaker 9: trying to win a super Bowl. 378 00:16:25,028 --> 00:16:26,228 Speaker 4: Whoause is the best chance to win? 379 00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:31,468 Speaker 9: Sounds like Purty and then Darnald and then Lance, and 380 00:16:31,508 --> 00:16:32,948 Speaker 9: in this case a fourth round pick. 381 00:16:32,988 --> 00:16:34,908 Speaker 4: That's a legitimate pick. That's like the first pick of 382 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:35,948 Speaker 4: the third. 383 00:16:35,788 --> 00:16:37,268 Speaker 9: Day of the driver or second day of the draft, 384 00:16:37,268 --> 00:16:38,348 Speaker 9: I think, or third day of the draft. 385 00:16:38,348 --> 00:16:41,028 Speaker 4: Sorry, I don't think they'll regret this. 386 00:16:41,228 --> 00:16:43,668 Speaker 9: As for the Cowboys side of it, the only way 387 00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:45,268 Speaker 9: they would regret this is if Dak is in his 388 00:16:45,308 --> 00:16:47,428 Speaker 9: feelings and is completely said askew. And if that's the case, 389 00:16:47,428 --> 00:16:49,468 Speaker 9: it reveals something about Dak and his insecurity and I 390 00:16:49,468 --> 00:16:50,748 Speaker 9: don't think that's going to be the case. 391 00:16:51,108 --> 00:16:52,188 Speaker 4: But I'm not in that building. 392 00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:55,868 Speaker 9: From what we heard yesterday, maybe Dak and McCarthy weren't 393 00:16:55,908 --> 00:16:58,308 Speaker 9: given heads up when this trade was made and weren't 394 00:16:58,308 --> 00:16:59,188 Speaker 9: asked for their approval. 395 00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:01,028 Speaker 4: We'll get more clarity as that goes on. 396 00:17:01,788 --> 00:17:03,708 Speaker 9: Maybe the communication could have been better, But then again, 397 00:17:03,828 --> 00:17:05,748 Speaker 9: Jerry Jones was the Cowboys. He can do whatever he wants, 398 00:17:05,788 --> 00:17:08,268 Speaker 9: and if he viewed Trey Lance says someone worthy beforeth 399 00:17:08,348 --> 00:17:08,788 Speaker 9: round pick. 400 00:17:09,348 --> 00:17:10,788 Speaker 4: You guys are employees. You'll deal with it. 401 00:17:11,188 --> 00:17:12,268 Speaker 2: But is that not odd? 402 00:17:12,828 --> 00:17:15,948 Speaker 5: One thing to not inform Dak Prescott. He's a player 403 00:17:15,988 --> 00:17:17,748 Speaker 5: on your team. You may not feel as though I 404 00:17:17,788 --> 00:17:19,628 Speaker 5: have to tell him I'm going out and getting somebody, 405 00:17:19,988 --> 00:17:20,948 Speaker 5: But if you don't. 406 00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:22,268 Speaker 6: Inform Mike McCarthy. 407 00:17:22,588 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 5: I mean that is, he's the head coach, but he's 408 00:17:24,508 --> 00:17:27,028 Speaker 5: also would be the guy if Trey Lance enters a game, 409 00:17:27,188 --> 00:17:29,668 Speaker 5: talking to him in his helmet just seems to be 410 00:17:29,748 --> 00:17:32,028 Speaker 5: a little odd. To your point with Trey Lance in 411 00:17:32,068 --> 00:17:34,428 Speaker 5: the forty nine ers, he loses out and he's the 412 00:17:34,508 --> 00:17:36,188 Speaker 5: number three quarterback, and I think that goes all the 413 00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:38,268 Speaker 5: way back to last year he was the started office 414 00:17:38,348 --> 00:17:41,028 Speaker 5: was designed for him, blah blah blah. To your point, yes, 415 00:17:41,068 --> 00:17:43,468 Speaker 5: he's a thirston quarterback. You get a fourth rounder from you, 416 00:17:43,508 --> 00:17:45,868 Speaker 5: don't regret that. I'm gonna focus on the Cowboys part 417 00:17:45,868 --> 00:17:48,028 Speaker 5: of it, because I think that's the more intriguing part 418 00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:50,868 Speaker 5: of You bring this guy over. And I'm with you, Kyle, 419 00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:52,668 Speaker 5: you said earlier in the show. I don't think Trey 420 00:17:52,788 --> 00:17:55,508 Speaker 5: Lance is brought in there to outplay or take Dak 421 00:17:55,548 --> 00:17:58,228 Speaker 5: Prescott's job, and he's lining up for the Cowboys at 422 00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:01,348 Speaker 5: some point in this season, let alone moving from three 423 00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:04,188 Speaker 5: up to two and surpassing Cooper Rush. But I do 424 00:18:04,468 --> 00:18:06,588 Speaker 5: think at the same point, when you make this move 425 00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:09,748 Speaker 5: and you don't inform Dak Prescott, you don't inform Mike 426 00:18:09,828 --> 00:18:11,548 Speaker 5: McCarthy and you go out and get this guy. I 427 00:18:11,548 --> 00:18:14,908 Speaker 5: think this is Jerry's way of saying, hey, like, we 428 00:18:14,988 --> 00:18:17,788 Speaker 5: got to get something done. And if not, maybe he's 429 00:18:17,828 --> 00:18:20,988 Speaker 5: the answer. Maybe it's not Dak. Maybe the future could betrayed. 430 00:18:21,028 --> 00:18:23,788 Speaker 5: Maybe three years from now he develops and he learns 431 00:18:23,868 --> 00:18:27,028 Speaker 5: under Dak Prescott and we're able to play pay pay 432 00:18:27,068 --> 00:18:29,508 Speaker 5: Trey Lance and play him out there on the field. 433 00:18:29,668 --> 00:18:32,388 Speaker 5: Am min A very alarming not to tell Mike McCarthy 434 00:18:32,748 --> 00:18:36,588 Speaker 5: not even Hey, we're looking at Trey Lance. Maybe this 435 00:18:36,668 --> 00:18:38,828 Speaker 5: gets done in the next day or two. Maybe it doesn't, 436 00:18:38,828 --> 00:18:40,908 Speaker 5: but hey, what are your thoughts on him as a player? 437 00:18:40,908 --> 00:18:43,028 Speaker 5: Do you think we have something there? Is he worth 438 00:18:43,028 --> 00:18:45,588 Speaker 5: bringing in our quarterback room? How do you evaluate that 439 00:18:45,708 --> 00:18:48,348 Speaker 5: quarterback room? If we're letting a Will Greer go, do 440 00:18:48,388 --> 00:18:50,108 Speaker 5: you think that'll destroy the room. How do you think 441 00:18:50,188 --> 00:18:52,548 Speaker 5: Dak will handle us bringing in a Trey Lance. Do 442 00:18:52,548 --> 00:18:54,628 Speaker 5: you think he'll welcome in with open arms, show him 443 00:18:54,628 --> 00:18:57,028 Speaker 5: the ropes? I think those that would be a small 444 00:18:57,108 --> 00:18:59,988 Speaker 5: conversation even if he still decided, And Mike McCarry's like, nah, 445 00:18:59,988 --> 00:19:01,668 Speaker 5: I don't think so. He may still decide to do 446 00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:03,788 Speaker 5: it's his team, but it's very odd to me if 447 00:19:03,788 --> 00:19:05,188 Speaker 5: they didn't have that common but. 448 00:19:05,108 --> 00:19:07,708 Speaker 9: If he's guarding McCarthy from that responsibility, so that when 449 00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:09,308 Speaker 9: the players look at him and say, hey, coach, what 450 00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,268 Speaker 9: the heck, can you say it's Tom Jerry and not me. 451 00:19:12,468 --> 00:19:14,268 Speaker 5: I think that's the way it goes. No matter what, 452 00:19:14,308 --> 00:19:16,348 Speaker 5: there's only a few. I think Bill Belichick is a 453 00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:19,108 Speaker 5: guy Andy Reid. There's a certain head coaches where you 454 00:19:19,188 --> 00:19:21,708 Speaker 5: know those are the guys manipulating and doing the roster. 455 00:19:21,748 --> 00:19:24,548 Speaker 5: I think when it comes to Dallas Cowboys, there's no 456 00:19:24,588 --> 00:19:27,388 Speaker 5: doubt in our mind that Jerry Jones is designing this roster. 457 00:19:27,508 --> 00:19:29,908 Speaker 5: So from a player standpoint, if I'm in the locker room, 458 00:19:30,188 --> 00:19:32,628 Speaker 5: you can tell from a coach's expression, hey, look, this 459 00:19:32,708 --> 00:19:33,708 Speaker 5: is the moves that we're made. 460 00:19:33,748 --> 00:19:34,788 Speaker 4: Guys, we deal with it. 461 00:19:34,948 --> 00:19:35,668 Speaker 2: We're down here. 462 00:19:35,668 --> 00:19:37,908 Speaker 5: Those guys are up there making those decisions. We go 463 00:19:37,948 --> 00:19:39,148 Speaker 5: out there and play with what we got. 464 00:19:39,788 --> 00:19:43,428 Speaker 1: This story has these seductive little hypotheticals that move the needle. 465 00:19:43,988 --> 00:19:48,068 Speaker 1: The Niners let a star get away, or the Cowboys 466 00:19:48,108 --> 00:19:51,268 Speaker 1: brought in Dak's air apparent those are fairy tales. I 467 00:19:51,308 --> 00:19:52,788 Speaker 1: think this is the last time we're gonna talk about 468 00:19:52,788 --> 00:19:54,308 Speaker 1: Trey Lance in a long time. I really do, and 469 00:19:54,308 --> 00:19:56,148 Speaker 1: I hope so, because that means Party plays well and 470 00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:58,828 Speaker 1: Dak plays well, and we have a quarterback three for 471 00:19:58,908 --> 00:20:02,268 Speaker 1: a Cowboys team. I'm gonna say this one more time. 472 00:20:02,988 --> 00:20:06,348 Speaker 1: I am not above needling Dak Prescott or questioning him 473 00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:08,908 Speaker 1: on the field. The idea that Trey Lance is gonna 474 00:20:08,948 --> 00:20:12,268 Speaker 1: take his job is so stupid and so ludicrous. Understand, 475 00:20:12,468 --> 00:20:16,508 Speaker 1: the difference between Dak Prescott and Trey Lance is significantly 476 00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:19,268 Speaker 1: greater than the difference between Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson. 477 00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:21,108 Speaker 2: Like by far, Zach. 478 00:20:20,908 --> 00:20:23,468 Speaker 1: Wilson's thrown some touchdowns, Zack Wilson has played a bunch 479 00:20:23,468 --> 00:20:26,748 Speaker 1: of football. Zach Wilson looks good in training. It's not 480 00:20:26,828 --> 00:20:29,308 Speaker 1: a thing I know. Dak is this thing we like 481 00:20:29,348 --> 00:20:31,388 Speaker 1: to pick and pick at, and I do it myself 482 00:20:31,428 --> 00:20:33,548 Speaker 1: all the time. Trey Lance is not taking his job 483 00:20:33,588 --> 00:20:35,308 Speaker 1: tomorrow or next year or ever. 484 00:20:35,428 --> 00:20:37,108 Speaker 2: I just don't think it's ever ever happening. 485 00:20:37,228 --> 00:20:39,228 Speaker 1: It's fun to think about it because it's a soap 486 00:20:39,228 --> 00:20:41,428 Speaker 1: opera and the stands through the hourglass, But I don't 487 00:20:41,468 --> 00:20:42,148 Speaker 1: think so at all. 488 00:20:42,348 --> 00:20:42,788 Speaker 2: And will the. 489 00:20:42,868 --> 00:20:45,868 Speaker 1: Niners regret trading him the Niners regret drafting him. 490 00:20:46,348 --> 00:20:46,668 Speaker 2: That's it. 491 00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:49,788 Speaker 1: They're thrilled that they got a fourth ron pick. I 492 00:20:49,788 --> 00:20:52,668 Speaker 1: think Peter's point is spot on. Like Trey Lance, for 493 00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:55,068 Speaker 1: as little as he's played, it was in three Kyle 494 00:20:55,108 --> 00:20:58,228 Speaker 1: Shanahan training camps, three in which every single day he's 495 00:20:58,228 --> 00:21:00,428 Speaker 1: out there throwing and running around, and we have not 496 00:21:00,508 --> 00:21:03,468 Speaker 1: so much as seen a deleted tweet from a Niners 497 00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:06,228 Speaker 1: player that says what are we doing? Or an emoji 498 00:21:06,268 --> 00:21:08,868 Speaker 1: face That stuff always happens when there's a surprise trade. 499 00:21:08,908 --> 00:21:11,868 Speaker 1: There's been none of that because they all agree, and 500 00:21:11,908 --> 00:21:14,548 Speaker 1: because every single day they're standing there being like, well, 501 00:21:14,588 --> 00:21:16,868 Speaker 1: obviously he's the third best guy here, Like I don't 502 00:21:16,868 --> 00:21:18,548 Speaker 1: even know if he's if he is the third, but 503 00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:18,948 Speaker 1: it might. 504 00:21:18,868 --> 00:21:19,388 Speaker 2: Be the fourth. 505 00:21:19,668 --> 00:21:22,308 Speaker 1: For whatever reason. Trey Lance, I have nothing personal against him. 506 00:21:22,308 --> 00:21:23,988 Speaker 1: He is a sympathetic figure. He didn't do anything wrong. 507 00:21:24,028 --> 00:21:25,828 Speaker 1: He doesn't have it, he hasn't had it. Then Niners 508 00:21:25,828 --> 00:21:27,508 Speaker 1: aren't going to regret trading him. They're going to regret 509 00:21:27,548 --> 00:21:31,348 Speaker 1: drafting him, and the Cowboys listen, Jerry Lake, sizzle, Trey Lance. 510 00:21:31,468 --> 00:21:33,308 Speaker 1: Maybe the one thing he's bringing to the table is 511 00:21:33,548 --> 00:21:35,988 Speaker 1: he was a top five pick and he's exciting, and 512 00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:38,188 Speaker 1: he can run around allegedly even though we've never seen it. 513 00:21:38,388 --> 00:21:40,348 Speaker 1: Just bring him in. That'll be fun. People will talk 514 00:21:40,388 --> 00:21:42,148 Speaker 1: about it. I'm not making that up. I do think 515 00:21:42,148 --> 00:21:44,668 Speaker 1: he thinks that way. Was Mike McCarthy like, we should 516 00:21:44,668 --> 00:21:46,748 Speaker 1: get Trey Lance in our quarterback room instead of the 517 00:21:46,748 --> 00:21:49,588 Speaker 1: guy who just threw thirty six passes and four touchdowns 518 00:21:49,588 --> 00:21:50,948 Speaker 1: in their last preseason and bring him in. 519 00:21:51,028 --> 00:21:51,628 Speaker 2: It's sizzle. 520 00:21:51,748 --> 00:21:54,988 Speaker 4: You talk about regretting trading for him. He went third over. 521 00:21:54,988 --> 00:21:56,868 Speaker 9: Obviously they traded up and they were getting a quarterback 522 00:21:57,028 --> 00:21:59,548 Speaker 9: just for the viewers at home, not the Niners. 523 00:21:59,628 --> 00:22:00,468 Speaker 4: Right now, just think it. 524 00:22:00,948 --> 00:22:01,708 Speaker 2: I know where you're going. 525 00:22:02,188 --> 00:22:06,868 Speaker 9: They passed on Jamar Chase pinas Sewell, Michaeh Parsons, Rashaan Slater, 526 00:22:07,428 --> 00:22:11,668 Speaker 9: Jalen Waddle, j C Horn, Devonte Smith. That was all 527 00:22:11,988 --> 00:22:14,388 Speaker 9: the guy's taking, just right after Tree Lance. And you 528 00:22:14,428 --> 00:22:17,788 Speaker 9: think about with that roster they just taken anyone else, 529 00:22:18,308 --> 00:22:19,268 Speaker 9: how much better they might be. 530 00:22:19,348 --> 00:22:21,988 Speaker 3: Right, Kyle, remind the good people that stat that you 531 00:22:22,268 --> 00:22:24,668 Speaker 3: I think read about Yestoray on PFF where it was 532 00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:25,708 Speaker 3: the combination. 533 00:22:26,188 --> 00:22:28,988 Speaker 1: You take Trey Lance's entire football career, every pass that 534 00:22:29,028 --> 00:22:32,188 Speaker 1: he has thrown in high school, college, preseason NFL and 535 00:22:32,228 --> 00:22:33,908 Speaker 1: regular season NFL all the way out to high school. 536 00:22:34,028 --> 00:22:36,628 Speaker 1: It's still fewer pass attempts than Gino Smith threw last 537 00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:37,828 Speaker 1: year alone in the NFL. 538 00:22:38,268 --> 00:22:40,628 Speaker 5: That's such an amazing stat and I think that Sam 539 00:22:40,668 --> 00:22:43,548 Speaker 5: monson that stat alone is why you can't say we 540 00:22:43,668 --> 00:22:46,148 Speaker 5: won't be talking about Trey Lance in the near future, 541 00:22:46,188 --> 00:22:48,628 Speaker 5: because hell, Gino Smith we just talked about for an 542 00:22:48,748 --> 00:22:50,828 Speaker 5: entire season when we watched them with the Jets and 543 00:22:50,988 --> 00:22:53,188 Speaker 5: was just like, well, this guy stinks and he played 544 00:22:53,228 --> 00:22:55,348 Speaker 5: a ton of football. Trey Lance hasn't even played a 545 00:22:55,388 --> 00:22:57,708 Speaker 5: ton of football, So it be insane to say right 546 00:22:57,748 --> 00:22:59,988 Speaker 5: now like he's not a good player. Yes, you may 547 00:23:00,028 --> 00:23:01,948 Speaker 5: regret moving all the way up to three trading so 548 00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:04,108 Speaker 5: many assets to get him because he hasn't panned out 549 00:23:04,108 --> 00:23:06,428 Speaker 5: for your team. But I think for the Dallas Cowboys, 550 00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:08,388 Speaker 5: for maybe a team in the future, we have no idea. 551 00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:10,348 Speaker 5: Who knows what this kid can kills me. 552 00:23:10,668 --> 00:23:11,828 Speaker 4: He doesn't need to be Steve Young. 553 00:23:12,188 --> 00:23:13,668 Speaker 2: He can't be the quarterback too. 554 00:23:15,748 --> 00:23:18,268 Speaker 5: I think that says more about the offense that you're running. 555 00:23:18,468 --> 00:23:20,988 Speaker 5: Trey Lance and brock Perty are two totally different quarterbacks. 556 00:23:20,988 --> 00:23:22,908 Speaker 5: So if brock perty is our guy, if something happens 557 00:23:22,908 --> 00:23:24,708 Speaker 5: to him and we put Trey Lance in, we have 558 00:23:24,788 --> 00:23:31,548 Speaker 5: to now design the offense. But why not we see 559 00:23:31,588 --> 00:23:34,708 Speaker 5: with Justin Fields he becomes QB one. PJ Walker didn't 560 00:23:34,708 --> 00:23:36,228 Speaker 5: make the team, but they went out and signed PJ. 561 00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:38,148 Speaker 5: Walker because he was more in the mold of a 562 00:23:38,348 --> 00:23:40,988 Speaker 5: Justin Fields. It makes no sense to have Lamar Jackson 563 00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:43,748 Speaker 5: as a starting quarterback and something happens to Lamar and 564 00:23:43,748 --> 00:23:46,308 Speaker 5: now we're bringing in a Tom Brady as type quarner back. 565 00:23:46,388 --> 00:23:48,868 Speaker 5: Who are two totally different quarterbacks that need a different 566 00:23:48,908 --> 00:23:51,028 Speaker 5: offense to go out there and succeed. I think that 567 00:23:51,108 --> 00:23:53,868 Speaker 5: says more about coaching or I'm placing a player in 568 00:23:53,868 --> 00:23:55,788 Speaker 5: a position that when I put him out there, this 569 00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:58,148 Speaker 5: guy can win with what we have. No different when 570 00:23:58,228 --> 00:24:00,588 Speaker 5: Jimmy G was there, they ran in office, they decided 571 00:24:00,628 --> 00:24:02,268 Speaker 5: to go with Trey Lance in twenty one because it 572 00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:04,348 Speaker 5: was like, all right, he's we can design this off 573 00:24:04,668 --> 00:24:06,308 Speaker 5: He may not be better than Jimmy G right now, 574 00:24:06,468 --> 00:24:08,548 Speaker 5: but we think in the future he will be. Didn't 575 00:24:08,548 --> 00:24:10,508 Speaker 5: work out, and now you go back to brock Purty. 576 00:24:10,588 --> 00:24:12,748 Speaker 5: But I don't think those two quarterbacks fit in the 577 00:24:12,748 --> 00:24:13,228 Speaker 5: same mole. 578 00:24:13,388 --> 00:24:15,788 Speaker 3: And this decision making tree by Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, 579 00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:18,628 Speaker 3: like this isn't done by people that are like unscorned 580 00:24:18,668 --> 00:24:21,028 Speaker 3: by these people have seen rain on their wedding day, 581 00:24:21,108 --> 00:24:23,588 Speaker 3: Like they know what it's like to drop quarterbacks like 582 00:24:23,708 --> 00:24:26,668 Speaker 3: flies last season, and yet they still made that decision. 583 00:24:26,708 --> 00:24:28,748 Speaker 3: It's not like they've had a guy healthy for ten years. 584 00:24:28,788 --> 00:24:30,748 Speaker 3: They're like, we can move along because nothing bad ever 585 00:24:30,788 --> 00:24:32,948 Speaker 3: happens to us. They know the worst of the worst 586 00:24:32,988 --> 00:24:35,228 Speaker 3: that can happen to a quarterback room. Yet they're still 587 00:24:35,268 --> 00:24:37,468 Speaker 3: signing up for Sam darl and Brandon Allen as their 588 00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:38,388 Speaker 3: QB three. 589 00:24:38,588 --> 00:24:40,308 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's easy to redraft all the time when your 590 00:24:40,388 --> 00:24:41,908 Speaker 1: name and all this guy. Yeah, I still would love 591 00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:45,588 Speaker 1: to hear why Trey Lance over justin fields? Like what 592 00:24:45,748 --> 00:24:47,588 Speaker 1: is the case there? You got this Ohio State thing, 593 00:24:47,628 --> 00:24:49,668 Speaker 1: Bac Jones? What was it that Kyle saw? Like if 594 00:24:49,708 --> 00:24:51,908 Speaker 1: you want a guy who's an athlete take fields, it's like, 595 00:24:52,108 --> 00:24:55,428 Speaker 1: you know what's overrated? Like they say, I'm playing chess, 596 00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:58,388 Speaker 1: not checkers. Play checkers. Just play checkers. Sometimes it's simple, 597 00:24:58,388 --> 00:25:01,268 Speaker 1: it's effective play checkers. Enough with the chess, Like imagine 598 00:25:01,268 --> 00:25:02,868 Speaker 1: if they had justin fields right now, like we got 599 00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:10,388 Speaker 1: a guy. 600 00:25:07,148 --> 00:25:07,908 Speaker 4: All right today. 601 00:25:07,908 --> 00:25:09,708 Speaker 9: It's an exciting day here at the show, but it 602 00:25:09,748 --> 00:25:13,468 Speaker 9: also could be a really jarring day for thousands of 603 00:25:13,588 --> 00:25:14,428 Speaker 9: NFL players. 604 00:25:14,428 --> 00:25:16,228 Speaker 4: It's roster reduction day. 605 00:25:16,268 --> 00:25:18,628 Speaker 9: Teams need to get their teams down to fifty three 606 00:25:18,708 --> 00:25:20,468 Speaker 9: and it all has to happen by four pm Eastern. 607 00:25:20,508 --> 00:25:21,868 Speaker 4: There is a deadline here. 608 00:25:21,908 --> 00:25:24,148 Speaker 9: To tell us more, who's been on the front lines 609 00:25:24,188 --> 00:25:26,388 Speaker 9: for all these kind of days. Our NFL network front 610 00:25:26,388 --> 00:25:28,908 Speaker 9: office analyst, mister Scott Peel Scott, how. 611 00:25:29,188 --> 00:25:31,668 Speaker 6: On good morning? You're going? Good morning? 612 00:25:33,108 --> 00:25:35,908 Speaker 9: All right? So Scott, it's different this year. Rosters go 613 00:25:36,028 --> 00:25:40,548 Speaker 9: from not ninety to seventy five, now ninety to fifty three. 614 00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:43,188 Speaker 9: It's it's forty guys can get cut in a day. 615 00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:45,308 Speaker 9: That's a lot of names to keep track of. Talk 616 00:25:45,348 --> 00:25:47,988 Speaker 9: about thirty two teams. Now the players are going to 617 00:25:48,028 --> 00:25:50,388 Speaker 9: be available that you might not have expected to be available. 618 00:25:50,588 --> 00:25:53,428 Speaker 9: How does a logistically speaking, how does the front office 619 00:25:53,988 --> 00:25:56,548 Speaker 9: keep track of all the player movement? And how do 620 00:25:56,628 --> 00:25:59,468 Speaker 9: you deliberate between who's doing what and making calls to 621 00:25:59,508 --> 00:26:01,428 Speaker 9: which players who might be able to be added to 622 00:26:01,428 --> 00:26:02,668 Speaker 9: your practice squad? 623 00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:04,188 Speaker 6: So Peter. 624 00:26:04,228 --> 00:26:06,548 Speaker 11: We talked a little bit about this a couple of 625 00:26:06,548 --> 00:26:09,548 Speaker 11: weeks ago, but this is where the good pro personnel 626 00:26:09,588 --> 00:26:13,828 Speaker 11: departments and the good overall personnel departments are going to shine. 627 00:26:14,068 --> 00:26:16,188 Speaker 11: Everyone knows that this is going to happen. So the 628 00:26:16,268 --> 00:26:19,468 Speaker 11: teams that have the really good and organized player personnel 629 00:26:19,508 --> 00:26:22,668 Speaker 11: departments actually know most of the cuts before they're going 630 00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:26,708 Speaker 11: to happen, because they're listening, they're watching, they're reading, they're 631 00:26:26,748 --> 00:26:30,228 Speaker 11: gathering as much information as possible as to who is 632 00:26:30,308 --> 00:26:32,908 Speaker 11: going to be on the bubble. You put your bubble 633 00:26:32,948 --> 00:26:35,988 Speaker 11: list together, you start watching tape, so you're somewhat prepared. 634 00:26:36,308 --> 00:26:38,548 Speaker 11: The other thing that good personnel departments are doing, they're 635 00:26:38,588 --> 00:26:42,828 Speaker 11: communicating with their counterparts at other teams because you want 636 00:26:42,868 --> 00:26:44,828 Speaker 11: to talk about who might be on the bubble because 637 00:26:44,868 --> 00:26:47,948 Speaker 11: that would lead to a potential trade, because again, what 638 00:26:47,988 --> 00:26:49,988 Speaker 11: you would love to do is get ahead of having 639 00:26:50,028 --> 00:26:52,708 Speaker 11: to claim a player on waivers and maybe just make 640 00:26:52,748 --> 00:26:56,588 Speaker 11: a small trade to acquire a player. The other unknown 641 00:26:57,028 --> 00:27:00,068 Speaker 11: in this is the agents. The agents are usually one 642 00:27:00,108 --> 00:27:03,348 Speaker 11: of the best sources and resources as you're preparing for 643 00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:05,988 Speaker 11: final cuts because their primary job is to make sure 644 00:27:06,028 --> 00:27:09,508 Speaker 11: that their players have jobs. So agents are out there 645 00:27:09,548 --> 00:27:12,228 Speaker 11: talking to NFL teams giving them a heads up, letting 646 00:27:12,268 --> 00:27:15,068 Speaker 11: them know which players are going to be cut or 647 00:27:15,108 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 11: are on the bubble or in a bad situation. This way, 648 00:27:18,628 --> 00:27:22,068 Speaker 11: the agent can supply the information before the actual waiver 649 00:27:22,148 --> 00:27:23,068 Speaker 11: wire comes out. 650 00:27:24,708 --> 00:27:27,428 Speaker 1: It's got the Trey Lance situation for a front office 651 00:27:27,468 --> 00:27:29,988 Speaker 1: analyst and gooler like yourself has just got to be catniped. 652 00:27:29,988 --> 00:27:33,788 Speaker 1: That's an incredible thing that happened. Do the Niners deserve 653 00:27:33,988 --> 00:27:36,748 Speaker 1: a flogging for how they handled this? Since the draft? 654 00:27:36,828 --> 00:27:39,068 Speaker 1: And as Trey Lance now in a better situation in 655 00:27:39,148 --> 00:27:40,428 Speaker 1: Dallas than he was in San Francisco. 656 00:27:42,548 --> 00:27:44,828 Speaker 11: Here, here's what I'll say, Kyle is I think that 657 00:27:44,908 --> 00:27:47,908 Speaker 11: he's absolutely in a better situation because here's what you 658 00:27:47,948 --> 00:27:49,948 Speaker 11: look at. If you're the forty nine ers. They gave 659 00:27:50,028 --> 00:27:53,988 Speaker 11: up a kings ransom to draft him. They spent time, money, energy, 660 00:27:54,188 --> 00:27:57,468 Speaker 11: every resource you can imagine to develop him over two 661 00:27:57,548 --> 00:27:59,188 Speaker 11: seasons and three training camps. 662 00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:01,668 Speaker 6: It didn't work out. That was clear. 663 00:28:01,868 --> 00:28:03,588 Speaker 11: When you end up number three on the depth chart, 664 00:28:03,668 --> 00:28:05,628 Speaker 11: they know that it's not going to work out. There's 665 00:28:05,628 --> 00:28:07,788 Speaker 11: going to be too much noise. He needs to move on. 666 00:28:08,588 --> 00:28:11,268 Speaker 11: For me, when I look at this situation. I absolutely 667 00:28:11,268 --> 00:28:14,028 Speaker 11: think that Trey Lance is in a better situation because 668 00:28:14,108 --> 00:28:15,548 Speaker 11: now he has hope. 669 00:28:15,668 --> 00:28:16,708 Speaker 6: He's in a situation. 670 00:28:17,188 --> 00:28:19,668 Speaker 11: Understand, Dak Prescott is the quarterback for at least the 671 00:28:19,668 --> 00:28:22,268 Speaker 11: next two years where his contract, you know, he has 672 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:25,308 Speaker 11: two more years of a contract. But now Trey Lance 673 00:28:25,388 --> 00:28:27,548 Speaker 11: is in a situation there's a different kind of pressure 674 00:28:27,628 --> 00:28:30,708 Speaker 11: because Dak is the starter. But he's got a circumstance 675 00:28:30,708 --> 00:28:34,028 Speaker 11: and a situation where he can potentially develop better with 676 00:28:34,148 --> 00:28:35,308 Speaker 11: less noise around him. 677 00:28:35,428 --> 00:28:36,188 Speaker 6: And we all know this. 678 00:28:36,428 --> 00:28:40,028 Speaker 11: When you have hope emotionally and mentally, there's a much 679 00:28:40,068 --> 00:28:42,748 Speaker 11: better chance that you'll be in a situation to develop 680 00:28:42,748 --> 00:28:45,588 Speaker 11: into whatever your top game is going to be. 681 00:28:47,188 --> 00:28:49,468 Speaker 5: There's another guy looking for a newfound hope and a 682 00:28:49,508 --> 00:28:52,228 Speaker 5: new home, and that's Jonathan Taylor, still looking to be 683 00:28:52,308 --> 00:28:56,388 Speaker 5: traded after requesting that from the Indianapolis Colts. In this situation, Scott, 684 00:28:56,428 --> 00:28:58,668 Speaker 5: how does a fun office go with the pros and 685 00:28:58,748 --> 00:29:00,948 Speaker 5: cons of spending that big money and going for a 686 00:29:01,028 --> 00:29:04,388 Speaker 5: trade for a superstar like Taylor versus filling smaller home 687 00:29:04,668 --> 00:29:05,188 Speaker 5: on a roster. 688 00:29:07,308 --> 00:29:11,348 Speaker 11: Jason, That's a great question because unfortunately for the player, 689 00:29:11,468 --> 00:29:13,828 Speaker 11: if you are a high priced player, or a potentially 690 00:29:13,908 --> 00:29:16,308 Speaker 11: high priced player and a high level player. 691 00:29:16,708 --> 00:29:18,508 Speaker 6: This is the worst time of the year that you 692 00:29:18,628 --> 00:29:19,748 Speaker 6: can be available. 693 00:29:19,948 --> 00:29:22,588 Speaker 11: And I say that because what we have to remember 694 00:29:22,788 --> 00:29:25,588 Speaker 11: at the cutdown, every team in the NFL is going 695 00:29:25,628 --> 00:29:29,108 Speaker 11: from counting their top fifty one against their top fifty 696 00:29:29,108 --> 00:29:32,348 Speaker 11: one players against their cap to counting all fifty three 697 00:29:32,788 --> 00:29:36,748 Speaker 11: plus the sixteen practice squad players plus anyone that's injured. 698 00:29:37,068 --> 00:29:40,428 Speaker 11: So teams lose cap space during this time. When you're 699 00:29:40,468 --> 00:29:42,868 Speaker 11: Jonathan Taylor and you want to go to another team 700 00:29:42,908 --> 00:29:44,908 Speaker 11: and you want to get paid, there's not a lot 701 00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:47,388 Speaker 11: of money laying around. So this is a very difficult 702 00:29:47,468 --> 00:29:52,588 Speaker 11: time for Jonathan Taylor financially to make a move. I think, well, unfortunately, 703 00:29:52,588 --> 00:29:54,668 Speaker 11: what he's going to have to face and think about 704 00:29:54,748 --> 00:29:56,868 Speaker 11: is what is the best situation that I can get 705 00:29:56,948 --> 00:29:59,788 Speaker 11: myself into where I'm going to be the most successful 706 00:29:59,908 --> 00:30:02,148 Speaker 11: or be the best version that I can be, where 707 00:30:02,188 --> 00:30:05,708 Speaker 11: I can win football games to elevate myself for the 708 00:30:05,748 --> 00:30:10,028 Speaker 11: next contract. This is where again, the teams, the team's 709 00:30:10,068 --> 00:30:13,068 Speaker 11: needs and the players needs are in conflict. 710 00:30:12,588 --> 00:30:16,228 Speaker 3: Right now, Scott, Let's go to the NFC West. The 711 00:30:16,228 --> 00:30:18,628 Speaker 3: Cardinals are also having a difficult time Kyler Murray's been 712 00:30:18,628 --> 00:30:21,308 Speaker 3: placed on the physically unable to perform lists to start 713 00:30:21,348 --> 00:30:24,228 Speaker 3: this season after tearing his ACL late last year. He'll 714 00:30:24,228 --> 00:30:27,508 Speaker 3: miss at least the first four games. Put yourself in 715 00:30:27,548 --> 00:30:30,268 Speaker 3: the shoes of the Cardinals young front office and any 716 00:30:30,308 --> 00:30:32,508 Speaker 3: other team really that's dealing with an injury to a 717 00:30:32,628 --> 00:30:36,548 Speaker 3: key player. How do you go about your business now? 718 00:30:36,588 --> 00:30:38,308 Speaker 3: And what are you going through at this point in 719 00:30:38,348 --> 00:30:41,188 Speaker 3: the year as you prepare to not be thought of 720 00:30:41,228 --> 00:30:43,948 Speaker 3: as just like a week duckling to start the season. 721 00:30:46,188 --> 00:30:48,748 Speaker 11: Jamie, this is a tough one, you know. The fact 722 00:30:48,868 --> 00:30:50,588 Speaker 11: is the Cardinals knew that this was going to be 723 00:30:50,588 --> 00:30:52,828 Speaker 11: the situation. They knew they were going to be without 724 00:30:52,908 --> 00:30:55,108 Speaker 11: Kyler Murray and this injury for the first four seasons. 725 00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:57,948 Speaker 11: I'm sure that they tried to make moves to acquire 726 00:30:58,028 --> 00:31:01,508 Speaker 11: a quarterback prior to the last minute, but they made 727 00:31:01,548 --> 00:31:03,028 Speaker 11: this trade for Joshua Dobbs. 728 00:31:03,428 --> 00:31:04,908 Speaker 6: And there's not a whole lot time. 729 00:31:05,188 --> 00:31:06,788 Speaker 11: But what's clear is I looked at this a little 730 00:31:06,788 --> 00:31:09,428 Speaker 11: bit deeper, is they went after a quarterback that they 731 00:31:09,468 --> 00:31:12,988 Speaker 11: have some familiarity with. General manager Money Austin Ford was 732 00:31:13,068 --> 00:31:16,548 Speaker 11: at Tennessee with Dobbs last year when he started those 733 00:31:16,628 --> 00:31:20,228 Speaker 11: last two games of the season. Their assistant general manager, 734 00:31:20,348 --> 00:31:22,948 Speaker 11: Dave Sears, was with him when he was on the Lions, 735 00:31:23,308 --> 00:31:28,468 Speaker 11: and also their offensive coordinator Drew Petsing was his quarterback 736 00:31:28,548 --> 00:31:30,628 Speaker 11: coach last year at the Cleveland Browns. 737 00:31:30,708 --> 00:31:31,588 Speaker 6: So here's what they did. 738 00:31:31,948 --> 00:31:35,068 Speaker 11: They relied on putting a player in the position that 739 00:31:35,188 --> 00:31:38,108 Speaker 11: they think that they know the strengths, they know the limitations, 740 00:31:38,388 --> 00:31:40,628 Speaker 11: and hopefully be able to put a player in a 741 00:31:40,708 --> 00:31:44,028 Speaker 11: situation for four weeks that won't blow up the season 742 00:31:44,148 --> 00:31:45,468 Speaker 11: and won't lose games for them. 743 00:31:45,628 --> 00:31:47,228 Speaker 6: I think that's what they're trying to do at this 744 00:31:47,348 --> 00:31:48,108 Speaker 6: point right now.
