Fun but one of the 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: great stories of the day, and we've been talking a 35 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: lot about the Pittsburgh Steelers, and well, the AFC North 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: gets a lot of our attention. It's an interesting division. 37 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. They unveiled those nineteen thirty three throwback uniforms 38 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: that'll be part of Week eight against the Green Bay 39 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 3: Packers when Rogers and his old team meet up. We 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: talked a little bit about the Ravens, but certainly a 41 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: lot has been focused on the Bengals, with some on 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: the Browns quarterbacking situation. By the way, the helmet reveal 43 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: for the Browns will do uniforms. We'll either get to 44 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: it today or tomorrow with all the changes and those 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: Gold Chargers uniforms whatever. I did enjoy that the Browns 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 3: did this giant unveiling of this massive brown helmet. Guy 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: falls into water. Everybody's focusing on that. I'm focusing on 48 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 3: the fact that the sponsor of it. 49 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: Is Dude Wipes and it's a giant brown helmet. 50 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 4: I was fixated on that. 51 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: They guys following in the water. That's fine, guys fall. 52 00:02:59,480 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 4: In the water. 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 5: I did not put too and two the games, but 54 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 5: I will say that I thought, yeah, this is odd. 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 5: This uniform reveal is sponsored. Now when you put it 56 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 5: in those terms completely different persons. 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: It's really dark brown helmet revealed, the first of its 58 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: kind for Cleveland. 59 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 6: Brought to you by Hey. 60 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: And there's the dancing package of works and it works. 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a product there, and you know, I'll 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: trust our plumbers to figure out, uh, you know, if 63 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: it all works in the ground grand scheme of things 64 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: in terms of biodegradeability and all. Uh you know, check 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: your your listings as you buy stuff. But one of 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: the stories that was circulating today and it becomes the 67 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: the fun fodder for the book of lists that we 68 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: love so much of. 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: TJ. 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: Watt, who's had a massive career, just signed a new deal. 71 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers has come in to town retool some things. 72 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin and the streak of winning seasons or I 73 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: guess seasons without a losing season, all of that stuff. 74 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: Wa joined the team in twenty seventeen. Steelers have not 75 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: won a playoff game. So he called it a point 76 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: of frustration for him in a conversation with Sports Illustrated, 77 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 3: calling it also unacceptable. 78 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: And so now he'll wear that right over the course 79 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 4: of the year. 80 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: It's unacceptable because even if he's playing well, part of 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: your unit isn't getting the job done. The team's not 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: getting it done, and I love the ownership of it. Right, 83 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: it becomes a me problem as opposed to a they problem. 84 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: They're not supporting my greatness and things of that nature. 85 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: Winning a Super Bowl no doubt motivating me, and winning 86 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: a playoff game is absolutely motivating me. It's something we 87 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: haven't been able to do since I've been here. I 88 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: think it's an absolutely unacceptable, and that's what's attached to 89 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: my name right now, because that's true. 90 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 4: Right we do that. Usually it's with. 91 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: Championships and the best to never win one. And then 92 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: you start thinking about, so, who are the best players 93 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: to never win a playoff game in some cases, to 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: never appear in a playoff game? And I immediately think 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 3: of two guys from Chicago, Sayers and Buckets, two of 96 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: the greatest players of all time Joe Thomas who went 97 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: into the Hall of Fame of the aftermentioned Cleveland Browns. 98 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: But it's just that kind of thing for the Steelers, 99 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: a reminder, and it's something we've banged on a lot. 100 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 3: And respect the hell out of Mike Tomlin, had some 101 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: great interactions with him over the years. He's great for 102 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: the business, gives us great sound bites, and they don't lose, 103 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: but they're always in that meaty part of the curve 104 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: you play meaningful December football. And I've made this point 105 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: I think with you a couple of times, and certainly 106 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 3: with Smith, I would love to know what that feels 107 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: like to have that kind of run where I know 108 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 3: my team is playing for something, whether I believe we 109 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: can actually win it all is a whole other question, 110 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: and you'd have to go individually and start polling people 111 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh year to year or put them on lie 112 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: detect in terms of how much they believe the team 113 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: can actually win win versus we're not behind Cleveland, we're 114 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 3: not clean. 115 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 4: Because they've never bought them down. 116 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: And I don't know if that's good or bad in 117 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: the grand scheme of things, but I'd like to try 118 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 3: that other world for a little while to where my 119 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: team is actually relevant. 120 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 4: Right. 121 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: We laugh about the White Sox. They win a couple 122 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: of games, they're scoring a lot of runs. Now it's 123 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: a nice week. There's still thirty games under five hundred, right, 124 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 3: whereas with Pittsburgh every year you're at five hundred or 125 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: better as a start. But for a guy like TJ. 126 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: Watt to say, you've been in the league since twenty 127 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: seventeen and even with all the team success and there's 128 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: a camera here so I'm just doing the air quote 129 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: thing for the radio audience, that you don't have one 130 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: of those in your long extensive resume is an amazing 131 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: thing too. 132 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 6: Tony Gonzalez. 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 5: A stop in Atlanta near the end of his career 134 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 5: to get that playoff victory to get that win. 135 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 6: They ended up beating the. 136 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 5: Seahawks in a divisional playoff game and he finally got 137 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 5: that playoff win. So there have been along with others 138 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 5: that you've named and just talking about one with wins 139 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 5: or just getting a win. 140 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 6: Tony Gonzalez is one. 141 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 5: So think of the names that we've mentioned, hall of Famer, 142 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 5: hall of Famer, hall of Famer, hall of famer. 143 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 6: And yeah, TJ. 144 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 5: Watt can say it's unacceptable, and I agree with you 145 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 5: that he is putting it on his shoulders. But I 146 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 5: don't think that there's anybody who thinks that one person 147 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 5: that is in a quarterback or one player that is 148 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 5: in a quarterback can get you to the playoffs. Maybe 149 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 5: Derrick Henry, maybe Titans days Dereck Henry, but still Ryan 150 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 5: Tanneil had to be, you know, doing some of that, 151 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 5: Like maybe that's that's the one. 152 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 6: But I just don't think that you can get what TJ. 153 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 5: Watt is saying in accepting the responsibility. But how I 154 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 5: read it is that it is unacceptable for the Steelers 155 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 5: organization to have that long considering how long he's been 156 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 5: in the National Football League. Even branch it out a 157 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 5: little bit more just within the division. It's actually one 158 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 5: of the reasons why I think the Bengals feel that 159 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: they don't need to pay Trey Hendrickson. As far as 160 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 5: ridiculous as it sounds, is was Trey Hendrickson the difference 161 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 5: last year for that defense that was a trouble. 162 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 6: That's it. 163 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: They were awful no matter how good he is. Yes, 164 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: great stats and maybe another three year run gets him 165 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 3: into the Hall of Fame consideration. A couple more Pro 166 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: Bowls Ano, they're all pro too, but we saw what happened. 167 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: Lou Adima, who was the heralded guy, was shown the door, 168 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: and they couldn't get eleven guys on the field to 169 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: look the same direction. 170 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: Like I play defense. 171 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 5: There are a lot of pieces missing from that Super 172 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 5: Bowl run when they ended up playing the Rams here 173 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 5: in LA that you got a first hand look. And 174 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 5: you've talked a lot about how the Bengals fans at 175 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 5: the time like felt like they were going to be 176 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: going to be back again. Yeah, and I think that's 177 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 5: it can even relate to this situation here. There's not 178 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 5: one player that is going to change it that isn't 179 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 5: a quarterback. And when you look at their quarterback play. 180 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 5: Outside of the first two years of TJ. Watts's career, 181 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 5: it hasn't been there for the Steelers. When Ben Roethlisberger's 182 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 5: elbow went out in twenty nineteen, that was it. So 183 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 5: the Roethlisberger situation hasn't worked. We saw how Kenny Pickett worked, 184 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: it didn't super Bowl, Mitchell Trubisky, all of these names 185 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 5: that have tried to come in and be the guy, 186 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: Russell Wilson, Justin Fields didn't work out. Didn't happen. It's 187 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 5: not TJ. Watt's fault. I know that he wants to 188 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 5: be there and needs it for his resume, but it's 189 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 5: not just it's not one player. And I think it's 190 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: more of an indictment on the Steelers. And I know 191 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 5: what you're saying as a Bears fan, and I don't 192 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 5: want to put words in your mouth because I don't 193 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 5: want to say that. At least, there's this this hope 194 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 5: if you have a higher draft pick, but when you 195 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 5: get Caleb Williams, you know, like there's like some hope, 196 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 5: there is this malay that lasts for a while. You know, 197 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 5: this is where like you're like, if you're the Steelers 198 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 5: and I just feel it as a Seahawks fan, not 199 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 5: really how realizing how long it actually was. In the 200 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 5: Pete Carroll era, they were good, they were going to 201 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 5: the playoffs, maybe they were a wild card, maybe they 202 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 5: making the divisional playoff. But once Russell Wilson was picked 203 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 5: off at the one yard line, there wasn't a lot 204 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 5: of fun. 205 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: Sure, they became a different animal. 206 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So like, so you're good enough, you're there, 207 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 5: there's some exciting games, but are you really a super 208 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 5: Bowl contender? 209 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 6: Are you not? 210 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 5: Are you just there? And ultimately I think that that's 211 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 5: the you know, that's the ultimate goal. I'm not saying 212 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: that your position is better than that. That's not what 213 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 5: I'm saying at all. But I feel like the Steelers 214 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 5: are in that situation where, yeah, it's not really fun. 215 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: There a couple of times I've been to Pittsburgh. I 216 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 4: was out there on a school visit with my daughter 217 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 4: and we're at a at a restaurant and talking to 218 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 4: some Steeler fans as I'm waiting for our table and 219 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 4: and and are in that weird spot. Like as much 220 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 4: as they respect and love Mike Tomlin, like to a person, 221 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 4: they were just kind of like at some point we 222 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: need to either blow it up or like and that's 223 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 4: the pragmatist. And I don't know if I. 224 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: Tried to convince them before they offered this, and maybe 225 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: I sold them on it, but it became, you know, 226 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: just a very much a it's great because we know 227 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: we're gonna win a bunch of home games and that 228 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: makes for a great time and a great night and 229 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 3: a better Monday and Tuesday at work. 230 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: Right, it's always better at work when your team wins. 231 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 6: Mm hmm. 232 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: Man. 233 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: Look, you know the Dodgers have been struggling, but around 234 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 3: these parts, we got a lot of Dodger fans, a 235 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 3: lot of injured players, a lot of bad defense, whatever else. 236 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 3: Even if you came off a World Series win, you're 237 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 3: still living and dying with it. 238 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 4: We're watching in the hallways, cursing up and down, salty this. 239 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: I it's like with the Bears, Like, keep trying to 240 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: sell me, hope I eventually, maybe I'll jump on board 241 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: once we get some wins. 242 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 6: Is TJ. 243 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: Watt being a hypocrite for signing a contract that makes 244 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 5: them the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL and 245 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 5: then coming out and saying it's unacceptable. 246 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 6: We haven't been to the playoffs. 247 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 3: No, because ultimately your GM and your your ownership have 248 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 3: to figure that out. Right, if that's going to put 249 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: it in a place where they can't win because you 250 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: decided to pay TJ. 251 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 4: Watt, well, then you made a bad choice. As much 252 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 4: as you may love TJ. Watt. 253 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: Right, everybody operates under the same financial rules, which we 254 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: got word today from the Packers. And this is the 255 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: other Mike Brown thing in terms of why do I 256 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: need to pay these guys the moneies keep going. It's 257 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: the Jerry Jones argument when people say, well he should 258 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: step away from this or whatever. 259 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 4: It's like he created this crazy ass world. Right. 260 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 3: Mark Murphy gave his first financial report taking over as 261 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: the president of the Packers is out of a report 262 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: from Rob Damofski one hundred and thirty eight million dollars 263 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: per team. The revenue share from the national revenues today 264 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty two point six million dollars per team. 265 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: So it's awful easy to just say, we could be great, 266 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: we could be right in the middle. 267 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: We could not pay these guys. The money's still gonna flow. 268 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 5: Sure, the money's still gonna flow, But if your TJ. Watt, 269 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 5: is it more important for you to get that playoff 270 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 5: win because it's unacceptable and again one person doesn't do it? 271 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 5: Or is it is it more important for you to 272 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 5: be the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL for 273 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 5: the second time in your career. 274 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 6: So that's where I think. 275 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 5: It's where where I'm a little I don't I don't 276 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 5: want to be in anybody's pockets. But obviously they're now 277 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 5: tied up with him for forty one million dollars a year. 278 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 5: And then you're saying, well, we you know it's it's unacceptable. 279 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 6: Well, one player isn't going to do it? 280 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 5: There does if you're now the highest paid non quarterback 281 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: the National Football League, maybe there is more added responsibility. 282 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 5: Maybe I'm wrong in that, but I also just find 283 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 5: an interesting It sounds a bit hypocritical because you're not 284 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 5: necessarily giving your team the flexibility. There's a reason why 285 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 5: he got forty one million dollars a year because it 286 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 5: would tops the other Miles Garrett tops. So yeah, so 287 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 5: you've got like there's a reason why that number was set. 288 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 6: And that's that's just the part that I that I 289 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 6: just wonder, I it is something to reconcile. 290 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: I get it, because now well is if you'd take 291 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: it a little bit of massaging, kind of. 292 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: Like the waven stretch stuff that n behavior. 293 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 5: It's thirty million a year, right like it's it probably 294 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 5: helps the Steelers. 295 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: You know what else would help? Right now, you're in 296 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: a leadership vacuum with the NFLPA, so nobody's there at 297 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 3: the office to yell at you that you're doing anybody wrong. 298 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: It's true because all those folks are getting wiped out 299 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: at Damn Bier on Fox where you find Dan, find 300 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: me over at Swollenome.

But all of that to say, the running 377 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: back position. Many espouse the zero RB philosophy with the 378 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 3: number of workloads, splits that we've seen, the injuries that 379 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: we've seen. Maybe folks going back to the well. In 380 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, Dan a little gun shy after going 381 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: back to the well on Christian McCaffrey a year ago 382 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: and wondering what transpires here in a new look NFL, 383 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: more and more of the passing game, Like we talked 384 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: about Caleb Williams little bit, and they put up the 385 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 3: he wants to complete seventy percent of his passes. Well, 386 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 3: guess what he's going to need running backs to catch 387 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: about one hundred and eighty five passes. 388 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 4: If that's going to happen. 389 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: Between them out of the backfield, Loveland a little bit 390 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: of comet, it's going to be a lot of well 391 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: zero minus five to five. Oh wait, that was his 392 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 3: shot chart a year ago. Looks much to say, if 393 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: you want to get to seventy percent, now, donet it. 394 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 3: But all of that to say, we've got some new 395 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 3: guys kind of breaking in. When you look at consensus rankings, 396 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 3: curious to see where you fall on this. As we 397 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: go back to the twenty twenty four season, you're king 398 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 3: and this is including week eighteen. So hang a star 399 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: because there's a very big performance that did it. Jamiir 400 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 3: Gibbs was the number one running back in PPR leagues 401 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 3: last year. Of course when you include Week eighteen, where 402 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: he ran for one hundred and thirty nine yards and 403 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: three touchdowns, also catching five balls out of the backfield 404 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: for thirty one yards and a touchdown. Yeah, that gave 405 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 3: you an extra forty six points. Means you pull him 406 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 3: back down. That would have put him fifth behind Saquon Barkley. 407 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 3: Jean Robinson had himself a big game too, so he's 408 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 3: in the mix. Derrick Henry finished fourth, and then Devon 409 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: Chen who we referenced earlier in our conversation about the 410 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins. On the strength of his seventy eight receptions 411 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 3: a year ago, he was the number five running back. 412 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: He had four games of at least twenty six and 413 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 3: a half points. 414 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 5: Well, I feel like the Gibbs thing was for as 415 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 5: great as he was Mike, you had to have a 416 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 5: couple of things happen. You had to have your defense 417 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 5: fall apart and have nobody healthy. You also needed David Montgomery. 418 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 6: To be hurt. 419 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 3: He got hurt and wasn't unavailable during the playoff weeks 420 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: where Gibbs really made his head. 421 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 6: Yeah. 422 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 5: So like I look at that and that's where I say, Okay, 423 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 5: not that he's not good to produce, but for the 424 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 5: number one overall rankings, because when I go into this year, 425 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 5: it's two guys. For me, it's either Barkley or it's Bijon, 426 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 5: Like that's where where I am in two terms of 427 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 5: the rankings and where we are at the top. But 428 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 5: Gibbs to me was the guy that you're hoping Henry 429 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 5: or CMC or someone maybe just moves up or would 430 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 5: want to take someone on the name brand value. 431 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 6: But what he did at the end of the year 432 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 6: now just makes him. I think. 433 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 5: I think a lot of people's favorites. I think that 434 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 5: there could be some hiccups considering the lack of what 435 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 5: they lost now for what you have in Chicago and 436 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 5: even in on Aaron Glenn's staff with the Jets. But 437 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 5: that's why I just think I think Barkley and bej 438 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 5: On are the top two for me. 439 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 3: It's funny when you take gibbs final four games off 440 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: the board, so no, David Montgomery defense falls apart, and 441 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: that giant forty six point performance week eighteen the other 442 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 3: fourteen weeks of the year, and obviously you got to 443 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: buy mixed in there. You're looking at about eighteen points 444 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 3: a week versus his twenty six plus and that giant 445 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: forty six week eighteen performance. 446 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 4: But I think you're right. I mean Atlanta's a team. 447 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 3: That everybody's jumped on board as a squad, still have 448 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: to figure out the quarterback position in terms of sloughing 449 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 3: off Kirk Cousins or just letting him sit there and 450 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 3: then break glass in case of emergency with Michael Pennix, 451 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: but seeing how tenable that is. I've not yet watched 452 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: the full Quarterback Show this time around. I'll get to 453 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: it eventually, made. 454 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 6: Obviously, I think I watch the first one. 455 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 4: I watched most of the first year. I was entertained. 456 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: Right now, I just I caught up on the Owen 457 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 3: Wilson Golf Show on Apple Plus. 458 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 4: That's pretty good. Mark Maron and he have a good 459 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 4: camaraderie and the kids are pretty fun. 460 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: And then Gilded Age because I love the growth of 461 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 3: New York City in the eighteen eighties. 462 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 4: That's what I'm all about right there. 463 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 5: Totally down with it showing my age right now, Jason 464 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 5: can sit back and talk about the eighteen eighty in 465 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 5: New York City and when it's like. 466 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 4: That, that why they had baseball in the last episode. 467 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 9: So there you go. 468 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 6: So you gotta check out this hot new game. You 469 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 6: never know, Buddy double days go a little bit. 470 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: Of pickle over there, So yeah, they in hilarity ensues, 471 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 3: but that's it. You know, stream a lot of streaming, 472 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: but quarterback just sits out there as a Do I 473 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: care enough? 474 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: Because with a lot of this stuff, and you know. 475 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: The Chiefs have their mini series thing coming out, like 476 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 3: if it's happened like right now, I don't care. Like 477 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 3: I like the stories from thirty years ago. I was like, god, 478 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: you remember that, you know this game? Oh yeah, this 479 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 3: guy was drunk as hell in the locker room and 480 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: wanted to fight everybody, and then we got out on 481 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 3: the field and we had to point him in the 482 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: right drum like stories like that. Okay, I want that 483 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: stuff as opposed to you know, we just won the 484 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: title six months ago. I just got off the buffet 485 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: line and we got to get back to work. Wait, 486 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: you want to pay me what to be part of 487 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: this interview? 488 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: Okay? Cool? 489 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, we won last year and now we're gonna try again. 490 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 4: There you go. Hey, that's great. I don't care. And 491 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 4: all the quarterbacks, Hey, look at Cousins. 492 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: The best thing about him was that his wife picks 493 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: out his wardrobe and he shops cheaply, and he had 494 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 3: a Harry Potter like cupboard for all his awards. 495 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 5: Like that was the highlight that I think, I think 496 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 5: and I think some of that I I don't know. 497 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 5: Sometimes it's difficult to tell what's real and what's not. 498 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 5: And to bring it back to the running backs. 499 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. The only reason I say this because I'm looking at. 500 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 5: Derrick Henry and his purple pants running over the Cincinnati Bengals. 501 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 5: More purple, more is better for everybody. I just I 502 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: can't bet against him. I'm curious on what your top 503 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 5: five is. But when I made my top five, I 504 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 5: know this is going to sound crazy, but I have 505 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 5: Derreck Henry number three. I just until he doesn't do 506 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 5: it anymore, until it's there's there's the drop that we 507 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 5: expect to see. I'll just I'll because I don't want 508 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 5: to bet against him. So I am down for for 509 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 5: Derrick Henry. I think it's going to be a huge 510 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 5: year for the Baltimore Evans. Quite honestly, I'm about to 511 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 5: pick them in the Super Bowl as we get closer 512 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 5: and closer, and. 513 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 6: I just think he's going to be a huge part 514 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 6: of it. 515 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 5: Now if if he falls down, wouldn't be the first 516 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 5: time it's happened to me did it with Michael Turner, 517 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 5: and I'm just wrong time there, cod right. 518 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: The wheels haven't come off. 519 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 3: And if you were to go back to last year, 520 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 3: as much as you love the offensive line and everything 521 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: that you knew Saquon Barkley could be, it was hard 522 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: to place a huge bet necessarily on him to go 523 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 3: through a full season. Yeah, let alone what he ended 524 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 3: up doing, right, Christian McCaffrey, we had how many cautionary 525 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 3: tales did we talk about during the pre season episodes 526 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 3: of the Eyewatch flex of going okay, if it breaks right, 527 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 3: then yeah he can replicate fine, but he's already been injured. 528 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 3: Does the body hold up again? And quite clearly it didn't, 529 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 3: And a lot of people crapped out right at the 530 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: top of their draft. 531 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 5: It may seem hypocritical because I think, I because I 532 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 5: put Jon number one on my list, with Sakwan two 533 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 5: and then with Derrick Henry three. I just think Bjon's 534 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 5: going to get his whether Tyler Algier is not. And 535 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 5: the reason why Michael Penis is so low in rankings 536 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 5: is because of Atlanta's ability to run the football, So 537 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 5: it may seem a bit contradictory. Mike where I think 538 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 5: that Michael Penix could sneak into a top ten as 539 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 5: a quarterback when a lot of people are having him 540 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 5: in twenty two to twenty four. In that sort of range, 541 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 5: I see Atlanta's going to be really good on offense. 542 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 5: They've got a good offensive line, and it's why I 543 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 5: put Bjon number one. And I just I don't think 544 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 5: that Barkley and the Eagles are going to match the 545 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 5: magic that it was last year, So I just imagined 546 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: some regression in that part. 547 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 3: So sixty one catches last year for Bijon out of 548 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: the backfield obviously, the explosive speed and they're a run 549 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: first team period. I mean, Penis will have his and 550 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 3: he's going to get shots downfield, there's no question about it, 551 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 3: and there's going to be some massive games. But from 552 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 3: Bijon week to week, Yeah, he's the guy. He was 553 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 3: caged a couple of years ago, so they saved him 554 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 3: for good. Like my mom used to do with all 555 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: the gifts we'd give her. Hey, Mom, what's this in 556 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 3: the back of the closet. Oh, that's what we gave 557 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: you five years ago. Thanks for using it, appreciate you. Oh, 558 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 3: by the way, White SOX eleven raise nine, mom U 559 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: long asleep but whatever, I'll text her again when the 560 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 3: show's over. But yeah, bijon number one for me. Number two, 561 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to a chan again. The explosiveness, the 562 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 3: ability to know Jehan new Smith. Yeah, so, dumping the 563 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: ball in the backfield, and again some of the jail 564 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: break screen opportunities. Although I have to go back and 565 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 3: look how good a pass blocker is Jalen Waddell or 566 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 3: any of these secondary wide receivers, because they're gonna need 567 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: to open up some stuff downfield. Because Tyreek Hill just 568 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: go run, go routes and take a couple of defenders 569 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: with you and give me that side of the field. 570 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 3: So I'll take a chance. Two number three, I go 571 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: back to your guy, Derrick Henry until the eels fall off. 572 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 3: Ronnie Stanley. They re signed he was. 573 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 4: Healthy and that that was the cog that made it 574 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 4: all work on a big level. Last year. 575 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: They finally got those guys in the trenches that had 576 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: They finally exercised all those demons and made plenty of 577 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 3: jokes through the years between the Chargers, Chargers and the 578 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 3: Ravens how many injuries they had between them that beyond 579 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 3: the staff, whatever deep cleaning you needed in the training facilities, 580 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: they finally did it. So there's three four, we got 581 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 3: Barkley and number five. I'm gonna bring in Ashton genty. 582 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 5: Mmm, just because because of Chip Kelly and they're his 583 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 5: his loving of running the football. 584 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: I think running the football. But again, you know, I 585 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: I like Gino. I don't love Geno, but Pete Carroll 586 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 3: loves Gino. Chip Kelly's gonna use They've got a couple 587 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 3: of widers and they're not all world beaters, right, you 588 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 3: got brock Bauers quite obviously, but your wide receivers are 589 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: all good BC guys. 590 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 4: There's nobody that's that's a number one. 591 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: But they're gonna distribute the ball well, spread it out, 592 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 3: feedbours as they will. I think Genti's touchcount just flies 593 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 3: through the roof. 594 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 6: I am. 595 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 5: I'm with you on beijon number one. I had Barkley two, 596 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 5: Henry three. I put Jumior Gibbs for. I put Jonathan 597 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 5: Taylor five for maybe. How we talked about the Colts 598 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 5: quarterback position. Yeah, Manzi's giving me the look on the 599 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 5: Colts quarterback position. I just I don't believe in it. 600 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 5: So I think you're gonna get a lot of Jonathan Taylor. 601 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 5: My wild card to break into the top five. Out 602 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 5: Chase Brown for what we talked about with the Bengals. 603 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: But it's funny, right, because he's a guy that excelled 604 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 3: once again despite a putrid offensive line. Yes, right, he 605 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 3: replaced Joe Mixon. He goes down to Houston, has himself 606 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 3: a magnificent year, no question about it. But Chase Brown 607 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 3: was everything and then he was supposed to be in 608 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: a workload split suddenly becomes the guy. And what did 609 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 3: he finish tenth I think last year? Yeah, or eighth, 610 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: ninth or tenth right behind Alvin Kamara. A few more 611 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 3: passes despite missing three games down the end of the stretch. Yeah, 612 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 3: p half PPR ppr. You know it's gonna move a 613 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 3: guy a spot or two. But anyway, the point is 614 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 3: guy excelled even with the robust passing game and no 615 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: O lines. 616 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 4: So yeah, Chase. 617 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 3: Brown's a guy that is intriguing. And I always love 618 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, right, but is this offense? Is the offensive 619 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 3: line good enough? 620 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 4: That? That is the billion dollar question? 621 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 5: The lost pieces via free agency, they all went to 622 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 5: Minnesota that's right, and injury is a part of it. 623 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 6: But bad division. 624 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 5: So we talked about earlier who else is going to 625 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 5: challenge him in Indianapolis? And if you have questions at 626 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 5: the quarterback position, why not rely in your running back? 627 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 3: Well you might also take direction and apps before it's 628 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: all said around, I mean, you have no idea. I mean, 629 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 3: we just put the ball in your best player's hands 630 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 3: as quickly as you get it. 631 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 5: It's risky because it's risky because of injury, and maybe 632 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 5: that's why Monzi's giving me the look. But I would 633 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 5: rather take that possibility than maybe sign up for someone 634 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 5: on a for different reasons. I was going to say, 635 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 5: I a bad team with the Colts, maybe bad as well, 636 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 5: which we think we could. So maybe I'm not making 637 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 5: my point as well as I would have hoped. But 638 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 5: I just think he's kind of the only thing that 639 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 5: they've got. 640 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you go back and look at some of his 641 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 3: weekly output. Obviously missed three games six, seven, and eight 642 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 3: Jacksonville where he really could have piled up some numbers. Again, 643 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: Tennessee and Miami last year. Taylor's a guy. I just 644 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: love to watch the guy work work behind Well, I'm 645 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 3: still three yards and a cloud of dust man. When 646 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 3: it's all said and done, the passing games all finding good. 647 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 3: Give me a good running game and a tough offensive line. 648 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 5: Missed three games and still had over three hundred carries. 649 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 5: Missed the three games, it was fifth in the NFL 650 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 5: and carries. 651 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 3: So just make sure you have an extra set of 652 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: tires on Boyeah because the tread might be done. 653 00:31:59,600 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 2: Ward. 654 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 5: I know you're thinking, gosh, Dan, he's gonna be worn down, 655 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. 656 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 6: Again, He's the only thing. 657 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 3: They have and he had a full off season to recover. 658 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 3: Let's go hyperbaric chamber get after it. That and the 659 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 3: Jaguars still stink. So he's Dan bire out my garment 660 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 3: here in Fox Sports rad and Tennessee like you've got 661 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 3: division games, you can go make Hay as he's done 662 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: in the past. Let's go over to the news desk. 663 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: Bonzi beladios, She's gonna give you her running backs? Or 664 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 3: why she hates Jonathan Taylor? No, I followed by the 665 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 3: scores of today. 666 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 2: I truly do not dislike Jonathan Taylor. 667 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 9: That was just a shocking name to hear. He, you know, 668 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 9: has not been as relevant as he was even let's 669 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 9: say two years ago. There's just so many running backs injuries. 670 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 9: Brown injuries.
