1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Daily, where we would never request 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: a trade out at a Chris Westling podcast studio. 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: I'm here talking about a lot of news. 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: It's happening, Patrick Claybond, We're doing it. 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 3: We're doing it. 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 4: And I love that there's a distinction between requesting a 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 4: trade because that's that's when it. You know, people report 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 4: to somebody who requests the trade, and then there's the 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 4: secondary somebody has formally requested yes trade, which I always 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 4: wonder is that does that involve papyrus? 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: Hmmm? 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 3: Is there a quill in this process? But I love it. 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 3: I love it no. 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: Matter what, just like someone delivering a handwritten letter I 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: would I would. 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 3: Have is are you John Schneider, Yes, you're served. 17 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: Spoiler alert it's DK Metcalf talk at the top of 19 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: this podcast. So I'm here with Patrick, and when I'm 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: saying like we're doing it, it's happening. The free agency frenzy, 21 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: I feel like it starts earlier and earlier every year, 22 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: it started to bubble up more. Tuesday was a pretty 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: busy day. Wednesday we got even more news, including this 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf trade request, which was not a shock but 25 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: a surprise. I would say that it's out there in 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the sense that the Seahawks seem very open to it, 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: and we'll get into that in a second. And then 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: later in the show, we're going to listen to myself 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: and Allie Connolly, one of the best minds in the business, 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: and we're going to go through the free agency list 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: and we're just got to talk about guys we'd want 32 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: on our team, guys that we would want to sign. 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 4: So it's a pack show, and it's ahead of all 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 4: of this, ahead of the frenzy, to get everybody a 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 4: chance to evaluate as long as again, you have a 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 4: representative to call and discuss with teams, because if you 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 4: want to do it yourself, that's tampering hm hmm, and 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 4: that's bad. So players, we're sorry, op at fans and 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 4: you know, people who have representation, this is the podcast. 40 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: That's a great point you that it is a little 41 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: a favorite to the people that then have the agency. 42 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Early I have been having to update my top one 43 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: oh one. Now DK Metcalf is not going to be there, 44 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: but one of his teammates might be Tyler Lockett. Let's 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: start though with the DK Metcalf news. But I wanted 46 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: to mention that the Seahawks are releasing Tyler Lockett because 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: I think these things can be talked about in tandem, 48 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: because suddenly, if they're both not on the team, that's 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: a totally different Seahawks offense. So the DK Metcalff trade 50 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: request report comes in. He reportedly prefers to be dealt 51 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: to a contending team, which who amongst us would not. 52 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: The compelling part of it is a that it's so 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: formal and at B that the Seahawks are letting him 54 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: explore those options. Let's start with just do you think 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: this deal ends up happening? 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 4: Well, the letting explore thing, I truly think we've seen 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 4: it right with Matthew Stafford, where there already is a 58 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 4: relationship and you're able to go out and determine what 59 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: your value is, what the circumstances can and so much 60 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: of this, especially when we're evaluating players positions. 61 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 3: They get tagged as. 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 4: Mercurial or whatever and DK plays wide receiver and the 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: conversation is about is this person happy? Well, it gives 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 4: them a chance to say, what's the market, what could 65 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: these particular situations be, and if the situation is better 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 4: here in Seattle with Gino than perhaps it is, but 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: it at least gives him an opportunity to get that information, 68 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 4: as well as the Seahawks a chance to get information 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 4: about how other teams view Decay. 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: Right and similar to Stafford, but not quite the same. 71 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: The contract is a big part of it. So DK 72 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: has eighteen million dollars in base salary this season, which is, 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: you know, a good bargain, a four million dollar option bonus. 74 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: The cap number is quite higher because they had pushed 75 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: out that he is already on his second contract and 76 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: this would naturally be the off season where he would 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: be looking for a third contract. Now if he has 78 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the feeling and maybe they were conversations with the Seahawks, 79 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: that's not happening in Seattle, or it's not going to 80 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: be at the level that he wants. But it actually 81 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: is a logical time that these two sides would part 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: ways because Seattle could presumably get a better trade offer, 83 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: even maybe than Stafford was getting. 84 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: He was a second round pick. 85 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Maybe not, maybe it's just a second round pick quote unquote, 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: but it'd be a good pick, and DK would make 87 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: that premier wide receiver money not only a year earlier, 88 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: but presumably it would be more elsewhere. I wrote down 89 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: some potential landing spots, but I have to admit after 90 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: doing the exercise, it was it was harder to come 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 1: up with the teams where DK metcalf didn't make sense, 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Like a lot of teams could use a. 93 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: Number one wide receiver. 94 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: And as I've been mentioning on the show, there's a 95 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: lot of cap space out there. Half the league has 96 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: almost fifty million dollars in cap space, more than half 97 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: as forty million dollars, So a lot of teams could fit. 98 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: DK metcalf in who stuck out to you which teams 99 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: has potential landing spots? 100 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 4: Well, there's we've discussed right the Green Bay Packers and 101 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 4: their need for having a in actual number one. 102 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: There's been reports that that those conversations have already happened, 103 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: although they've been dismissed by different people, but that's been 104 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: out there that that could be a thing. 105 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 4: And again the teams with space and with the need 106 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 4: at the spot. Right, you've got a. 107 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: Denver Broncos team that. 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 4: I think services as you mentioned, Greg, like the number 109 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 4: of teams that would be out right, because I'm also 110 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: thinking about the Indianapolis Colts with their thirty four million 111 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: dollars in cap space where it's it's easy to see, well, hey, DK. 112 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 3: Playing primarily on the outside and being a big. 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 4: Target, is that one where there's only fourteen or fifteen 114 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: of these guys on planet Earth, and so behoove almost 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 4: everybody if they have the money to do it, to 116 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 4: take a shot at getting. 117 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: Broncos wouldn't make sense. And yet they didn't even make 118 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: my list. Like, he wants to go to a contending team, 119 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: We'll see how much he can control the process. The 120 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: Patriots were interested in him and Brandon Ayuk a year ago, 121 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: you would assume that they would they've got the most 122 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: cap space. 123 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: The Raiders would make some sense. 124 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's there certainly could use a wide receiver. Dave 125 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: Canalis was with DK metcalf, so I tried to make 126 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: the connections. The Carolina Panthers could certainly use a number 127 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: one wide receiver. Some of the contending teams that I 128 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: think could maybe fine room for maybe the Chiefs if 129 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: they wanted to get a little crazy, they did open 130 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: up some room today. Maybe the Ravens. Would they be 131 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: willing to give long term money. I could just see 132 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: him in a Ravens uniform. They love the big, physical 133 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: type players who wouldn't love DK mccalf. The Bills might 134 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: be a little tough, but you wouldn't totally shock me 135 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: the Giants. Could the Dolphins get involved with like a 136 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: Tyreek swap? I mean, the options are endless. I'm going 137 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: to answer my own question from before. I didn't tend 138 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: to think this is going to happen, because I do 139 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: think there will be a good market for him, and 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I don't think it's getting 141 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: out there in such a way. And John Schneider was 142 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: evasive when asked about DK netcalf last week. If they 143 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: already weren't somewhat on board with this and open to it, 144 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't like the idea from the Seahawks perspective. 145 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 4: Now, from the seahawkspective perspective, it doesn't necessarily make a 146 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: ton of sense, unless, of course, you've already made the 147 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: decision down the road and you're honest with DK about 148 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 4: it that this third contract is not coming from Seattle, 149 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: and so DK has an opportunity to see where is 150 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 4: that third contract coming from, or is it better to 151 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 4: play this year in Seattle and then try to procure 152 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: that contract. 153 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, so but you get rid of DK and 154 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: you cut Tyler Lockett, Like. 155 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: Within an hour we found out. 156 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, essentially the Seahawks were receiving core non JSN. 157 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: Shake, you know, shout out to Tyler Lockett. One of 158 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: the best, you know, team runs of the last decade, 159 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: just kind of the classic Seahawks fans know how much 160 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: he meant to them in a way that maybe the 161 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: national media didn't. You arrive there in twenty fifteen immediately 162 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 1: as a contributor, always one of the more underrated players. 163 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: I think eventually people caught up to what a great 164 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: route runner is. Smaller thirty three coming off a six 165 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: hundred yard season, I. 166 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: Didn't put him in the top one on one. Should 167 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: I feel bad about that? I don't know. 168 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if you should feel bad about it. 169 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 170 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: In terms of like evaluating age being a factor. The 171 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: falloff of last season and kind of it comes along 172 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: with the ascension of Jackson Smith and Jigbo where, you know, 173 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: maybe if the targets are there, Tyler Lockett, you know, 174 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: has a season where he gets into the one. 175 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: Right. 176 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: He's a guy who almost immediately goes down after catching 177 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: the ball because he's trying to avoid contact, which you know, 178 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,599 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison did his whole career and went to the 179 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame that way. It's one of the reasons 180 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: why Tyler Lockett, who people thought was too undersized to play, 181 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: is still playing every game at his age. 182 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: But not a yack guy. 183 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, if they trade Dcalf DK Metcalf, it's Jake 184 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: Bobo as your number two receiver right now. And I 185 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: don't even know who's number three. They don't even have 186 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: a number three. I kind of like Jake Bobo. 187 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,239 Speaker 4: I got Jake Bobo's nice, but nice when viewed alongside 188 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and Jaxona's within Jigbo. 189 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: Yes, I think he fits as a three or a 190 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: four in a four man rotation. I think he is 191 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: due like a step up, a chance to be a 192 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: red zone type of guy. So that's just two receivers 193 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: a lot to watch there. I'm curious where Lockett will go. 194 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll go to some of those teams I mentioned, 195 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: which with Seattle Connections, Carolina or Las Vegas. I thought 196 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: we were going to be leading the show with a 197 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: big surprising trade. Joe Tooney is going to the Bears 198 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: for a twenty twenty sixth fourth round pick. Two time 199 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: All Pro including this year. Hell, he got Offensive Player 200 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: of the Year votes from his ex teammates that are 201 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: in the media. I don't know about that, you know, 202 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Rodney and Tom Brady. Let's take away those votes. Four 203 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: time Super Bowl champion between the Patriots and the Chiefs. 204 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: Football's cruel though, because you know he's compensating well and everything, 205 00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: but ultimately, his end in Kansas City was getting steamrolled 206 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, as your team got steamrolled in 207 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He did individually, had a rough game, 208 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: and then you get traded. 209 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: Who knows if he knew this was coming or not. 210 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: It's a bit of a shock to the system for 211 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: a really great player who's gonna have a Hall of 212 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: Fame resume at some point. And I actually think this 213 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: is a win win for both sides, as much as 214 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: it sounds crazy for it to be a win for 215 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. 216 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 4: What do you think, No, it's definitely a win for 217 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 4: Joe Toney because, let's be honest, you talk about the 218 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: way things ended, he got moved around and put in 219 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 4: that spot. 220 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: Right it wasn't his fault. He was playing well at guard. 221 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: He was playing well at guard. 222 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 4: And so like he gets essentially sent on a mission 223 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: and now it almost with the trade kind of could 224 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 4: retroactively feel like blame. I don't know that that's necessarily 225 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 4: the case, but you know, maybe when all the dust settles, 226 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 4: the Bears are going to end up with two members 227 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 4: of the Chiefs offensive line after this, you know, get 228 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 4: free agency and get Trace meth a spot. 229 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: Why in a trade they're going to get him too, Just. 230 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 3: Just go ahead and just make it happen. 231 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 4: Wow, But essentially right, it makes sense for the Bears, 232 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 4: and it makes sense for Joe Touney. And you know, 233 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 4: if the Chiefs can keep this thing going with continuing 234 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 4: to shuffle spots on the offensive line, I'm not as 235 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: confident as I would have been. 236 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: Well, tot, he's not that old either. 237 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: He's thirty two, which you know for a guard is 238 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: you still have good years left. He hasn't really shown 239 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: any decline at at guard, and I think it was 240 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of a sign of someone who wasn't 241 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: necessarily watching when they were given Tony a lot of 242 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: pop for how he played at left tackle, because he 243 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: got he was one of their biggest issues. Their entire 244 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: line was an issue. But essentially they chose to keep 245 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: Tray Smith and you can't keep everyone, and they chose 246 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: Tray Smith, who's five years younger, over Joe Toney, and 247 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: that makes sense. Bill Barnwell shout out to him on 248 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: our Trades to watch podcast, Eric, we got to keep 249 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: track of how many of these players get traded. He 250 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: had Joe Toney and I thought he had a little 251 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: too much dip on his chip for that one, Like 252 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: he just that out there, out of nowhere. There was 253 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: no buzz about this possibly happening. But he put the 254 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: he put the pieces together, and he said he's one 255 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: year away from his contract ending. They're probably not going 256 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: to be able to afford Joe Toney and Trey Smith 257 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: in a year. So if you want to keep Tray Smith, 258 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: then maybe you try to get something for Joe Toney 259 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: now and you make that choice. And that's exactly what 260 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: they did. So good job by Bill kind of sleuthing 261 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: that together. If you're listening to NFL daily regularly. 262 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 5: We also had Ryan Poles on and yeah, he told 263 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 5: you that they're ready to start spending on the offensive line, 264 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 5: Connect the Dots, NFL. 265 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: Daily break in the News, and of course, if you 266 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: missed it, Jonah Jackson was traded from the Rams to 267 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: the Bears on Tuesday. It seems like a long time 268 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: ago now. So they have two guard spots now taken up, 269 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: they still need to fill their center spot. And it's crazy. 270 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: They actually probably could draft a guard too. Because Tony's 271 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: on the last year of his contract. Maybe you want 272 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: to extend them, but Jonah Jackson, who knows what's going 273 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: to happen with him, Like, you need to have some 274 00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: young players there too. 275 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 4: So if you want to chart the Bears offseason, there 276 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 4: is a before Greg had a conversation with Ryan Poles, 277 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 4: and then there is an after Greg had a conversation 278 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 4: with Ryan Poles, and the offensive line is significantly better 279 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 4: that there's no disagreeing with that. 280 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: Let's go. 281 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: And for all the Chiefs fans that are upset, you 282 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: only got a fourth, you only got a fourth because 283 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: no one in the league was willing to give up 284 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: more than a fourth. I actually think it's a sign 285 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: that they would have considered cutting Joe Toney if they 286 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: got nothing for him, because they reportedly want to spend 287 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: some money at wide receiver. There's other spots in the 288 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: roster that they want to spend and that they just 289 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: ultimately chose a couple of people, Tray Smith and Travis Kelcey. 290 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: Now that's where the sentiment comes in. You know, Joe 291 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: Tuney he got that first Super Bowl with the Patriots, and. 292 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: So you know they're loyal to Travis Kelcey. 293 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: If you were asking me which one would provide more 294 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: value in twenty twenty five, I might make. 295 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: The case for Joe Touny. 296 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: Wow, you're never going to get rid of Travis kelce 297 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: so you keep him at a big salary. 298 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: It was pretty is it? This feels spicy? 299 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 300 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean maybe it's it's the last thing that's in 301 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: your mind, which Travis Kelcey struggling really in that playoff 302 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: run in general, but especially in the Super Bowl. All right, 303 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: let's let's stick in the division. Max Crosby gets another extension. 304 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: How this guy just keeps getting extensions? Three years, one 305 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: hundred and six million, ninety one million dollars guaranteed. The 306 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: Raiders also signed Alex Kappa on Wednesday. Alex Kapa was 307 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: just released earlier this week by the Bengals. He has 308 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: a history with their new GM Also a guest of 309 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: NFL Daily John Spytech, who said they would be intelligently aggressive. 310 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: I believe at quarterback. 311 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: Love it. 312 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, they haven't gotten their quarterback yet, but they 313 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: did get Alex Kappa, who is with him in Tampa. 314 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: Tough player. 315 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, Crosby is now the highest paid non quarterback ever. 316 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: Pretty cool. 317 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very cool, especially looking over at the situation 318 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 4: in Cleveland where a guy who's going Campton one day 319 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 4: decided he no longer wants to be a part of things. 320 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: Things have been very frustrating for Max in Las Vegas. 321 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 4: So yeah, go go ahead and get this done, secure 322 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: a long term partnership, and. 323 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 3: Make it happen. 324 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: And I do want to mention if I sound a 325 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: little nervous today, it's because the Girl Scouts of America 326 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: are here and they're watching the show.

Remember it was like, how 338 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: could you seventeen million dollars a year? And all these 339 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: deals end up looking okay in the long run. Not 340 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: only did he play well the first year he got 341 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: I think eleven hundred yards, but seventeen million dollars quickly 342 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: didn't look like nearly as much receiver. Now that said, 343 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't doing that much more than that this year, 344 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: and it totally made sense. I think from their perspective, 345 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: they're saving over ten million dollars against the cap because 346 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: he just couldn't stay healthy the last couple of years. 347 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: He had a broken collarbone, he had a muscle core 348 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: injury the year before. And it's a new regime that 349 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: these things happen with a new regime. But unlike Tyler Lockett, 350 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: he is on my top one on one, he's in 351 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: my top fifty. 352 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: I think Christian Kirk can help your team. He's about 353 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: forty six. 354 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 4: Clear difference No Christian Kirk with Christian Kirk before the Jags, 355 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: throughout his entirety, including when he was coming back from 356 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 4: that core muscle injury where they got banged up and 357 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 4: there really wasn't a replacement for it. Despite the ascension 358 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: of BTJ right, there still wasn't that Christian Kirk value 359 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: in the offense. 360 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: Like he's a little straight line and he's not a 361 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: number one receiver, but he can give you pop running 362 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: down the seams. Definitely kept his speed there in Jacksonville. 363 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: A broken collar bone is not an injury you want 364 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: to suffer, but also is an injury that's not going 365 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: to affect your speed, and that's something people come back 366 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: from and they're basically all the way back, and so 367 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be an attractive option for 368 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: maybe if the Ravens weren't going as high as a 369 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: d K, maybe a Christian Kirk to throw in the mix, 370 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: Like he he'd be a perfect whether he's a two, 371 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: whether he's a three. To me, wide receiver rooms are 372 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: now their rotations. He's obviously not the one, but he 373 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: fits in a three to four, two to four rotation 374 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: as a as a quality player. 375 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, just in terms of getting talent on the field, 376 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 4: and he's not hurting you like his numbers against press, 377 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 4: ability to play out wide or we're in the slot 378 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 4: right where the majority of the snaps are coming in 379 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 4: the ladder there, but still like he can do it 380 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 4: and he's got tape out to do it. 381 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 3: So yeah, he contribute in a lot of plays A week. 382 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: One starting quarterback was released on Wednesday. Gardner Minshew kind 383 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: of forgot he was still on the Raiders. He's not 384 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: been a free agent. He was released. They had to 385 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: guarantee some of that money into the second year, so 386 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: they are eating some of that guaranteed money. But ultimately 387 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: they don't see him even as a potential backup with 388 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: the team. 389 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: So he is out. He's not on my one on one. 390 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: And yet if your team signs him to be your backup, 391 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: depending on the situation with your starter, he's a very 392 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: good backup or a good enough backup. So Minshew will 393 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: continue to get work and get checks. Sam Hubbard retired. 394 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: I expected him to be cut this offseason just because 395 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: he just has not been the same player. Unfortunately, suffered 396 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: a really serious injury on a touchdown. I can't think 397 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: of a career ending this way. A defensive player makes it, 398 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: catches a touchdown from his buddy Joe Burrow. They're very close. 399 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: Hubbard's a local guy, by the way, Ohio guy, and 400 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: he's decided to retire. I think he's only twenty eight 401 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: years Old's happy trail to Sam Hubbard. 402 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, a nice career where you know, they came very 403 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 4: close to accomplishing that ultimate goal and he's I mean, 404 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 4: do you highlighted it with the touchdown? He's done a 405 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 4: lot in this league and why go past wy Goa's 406 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 4: the exploration? Congratulations. 407 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a few different things. It was a 408 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: PCL injury. Anyhow, Hubbard had gotten a big second contract 409 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: from Mike Brown and them. They if they don't bring 410 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: back Trey Hendrickson this year, like we'll see, they are 411 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: starting over at that position. We learned on Wednesday that 412 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: Tank Dell was having ACL surgery, and I just thought 413 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: that was notable because just thinking about a timeline for 414 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: him to return. We're going to talk AFC South on 415 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: our next show, Patrick, and They're gonna need wide receivers 416 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: because if he's only having this surgery on Wednesday after 417 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: having another surgery I think it was on his PCL 418 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: six weeks ago. Then it's going to be a long recovery. 419 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: The Texans also re signed dary Ogunbowale, their versatile fullback. 420 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: Running back Mason Crosby, the longtime Packers kicker, retired, Happy 421 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: trails to him. Joel Buttonio is returning to the Browns, 422 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: so that's good news for them. He is not going 423 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: to retire Zach Martin his official retirement. He's going into 424 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: the ring of honor, and DAK and CD both restructured 425 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: their contracts and voila. The Cowboys dolling up thirty seven 426 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: million dollars in cap space. 427 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 4: The CAP's not real, Yeah, no, it's it's all you know, 428 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 4: it's all relative. And so congratulations to Jerry Jones and 429 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 4: the Cowboys and now that could be all in Greg. 430 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 4: So they're not though they're going to take that money. 431 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: They're going to spend it on players now, right. 432 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: He said that he wouldn't use the word aggressive to 433 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: describe how they were going to be. So see Cowboys 434 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: now have fifty four million dollars in cap space. I'm 435 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: tracking this when we get to the point where half 436 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: the league has fifty million dollars, that is just the 437 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: unprecedented amount of cap space. I would like the research 438 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: group to go back and check because over half has 439 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: at least forty six million dollars. 440 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 2: It's too much money. 441 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: Now, it's not too much money, but I'm curious how 442 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: they're all going to find ways to spend. 443 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 4: It when when half the league has fifty seven million dollars. 444 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 4: Perhaps that's a good time to tell your team that 445 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 4: you would like to seek options regarding the trade. 446 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: Hmmm, that's a very good point. 447 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams that can make this 448 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: thing happen with other teams players and their own players. 449 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break, but I do 450 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: what to mention. As a preface, Olli Connelly and I 451 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: talked about guys we would want to sign in free agency. 452 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: Part of the reason I wanted Ali Connelly on the 453 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: podcast was because he had Zach Bond as his defensive 454 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: Player of the Year. I thought he spoke and wrote 455 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: very eloquently about how and why Zach Bond was so 456 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: important to the Eagles defense. Was really the lynchpin brought 457 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: it all together that Vic Fangio was not going to 458 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: let this guy leave the building. That informed my own analysis, 459 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: and I wanted to hear it, you know, straight from 460 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: the horse's mouth. We tape that before Zach Bond signed 461 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: a three year deal for fifty one million dollars with 462 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: thirty four guaranteed. He is the fourth highest paid off 463 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: ball linebacker in the league. Hell, I think that Eagles 464 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: got a pretty good deal considering how great he was, 465 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: but I understand him wanting to stay in Philadelphia where 466 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: he was so productive. And what a come up, what 467 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: a story of development. Zach Bond has been going from 468 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: an afterthought in New Orleans to one of the best 469 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: off ball linebackers league. I wanted to leave the start 470 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: of the segment, we said free agents we wanted to sign, 471 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: and the first one that came out of all his 472 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: mouth was Zach Bond. So that is going to start 473 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: our conversation which will start after the break, and I 474 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: think that part of it will inform you to the 475 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: reason why Zach Bond is worth all that cheddar. Thank 476 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: you Patrick for your contributions to today's program, but you'll 477 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: be back. 478 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: Later this week. 479 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 3: Thank you. 480 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: Greg Here with Ali Connolly, one of my favorite guests. 481 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: You know him, you love him from podcasts such as 482 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: what If Kirk Cousins doesn't work out? We look pretty 483 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: smart on that one. He looks like Kirk Cousins. Yes, 484 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: he is the author of the Read Optional and the 485 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: host of the Reader Optional podcast with John Ledyard Olly Connolly, 486 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: welcome back. 487 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 5: Thanks for having me back. 488 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: Are you you're in on the Boston Red Sox now 489 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: again they spent some money. 490 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: You're wearing a hat for our YouTube listeners. 491 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 5: I am hortiously putting my toe back in.

The football team is top of the league, 494 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: so I will give mister Henry maybe one less chance. 495 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: Okay, you know, they did have a lot of success 496 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: since since John Henry took over the Red Sox and 497 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: hopefully for you for your football slash soccer team as well. 498 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: Okay, free agencies coming up. 499 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: And we've been talking about, you know, looking at it 500 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: from a team by team perspective, but I hadn't really 501 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: gone through my top one oh one and beyond and 502 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: just talked about the guys like I would want the 503 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: guys that I think would be great to sign in 504 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: free agency. So we're going to keep this pretty simple. 505 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: Alis is one of my favorite football minds out there. 506 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how our listeners delivered.

Depending on 525 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 5: where Fred Warner's career goes next season, maybe the best 526 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 5: all around linebacker in the NFL, and I get all 527 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 5: the which is different system, different spot. Do you bet 528 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 5: on one year production? One year? I'll put age profile 529 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 5: having to pay that kind of money for guy who's 530 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 5: only done it for one season, changing schemes if we 531 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 5: go somewhere else. But if I was the Eagles, I 532 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 5: wouldn't let him out of the building. And if I 533 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 5: was another team, I would be doing anything I could 534 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 5: to try and send him up. 535 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 536 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: I have been influenced by your analysis and my eyeballs 537 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: when it comes to Zach Bond and my strong stance 538 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: that like, they're not going to let this guy leave. 539 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 2: If they can't let this guy leave, I don't think. 540 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: I know they haven't paid off ball linebackers in the past, 541 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: but just watching their defense this year, other than Jalen 542 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: Carter and certainly putting Cooper de gene in helped solidify 543 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: the secondary. 544 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: But he seemed like. 545 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: The guy who kind of made it all work, and 546 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: there's not really any reason why it can't continue to work. 547 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: I know he didn't do much in New Orleans, but 548 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: that's old news. 549 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 4: Now. 550 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: Him in Philadelphia is something like you can see it 551 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: with your eyes to kind of explain maybe to the 552 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: listeners what you think he did for that Eagles defense. 553 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, he kind of changed the whole front structure of 554 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 5: the group where I essentially they were able to move 555 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 5: them and walk them around. And usually when you get 556 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 5: these kind of like defensive chess piece weapon ties, people 557 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 5: talk about that all the time, right, particularly with the 558 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 5: secondary guys or the safeties, and how we can put 559 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 5: him in this spot and that spot, and it's just 560 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 5: really difficult to do when you don't set the terms 561 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 5: of engagement. You don't know what's coming out of the huddle, right, 562 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 5: what the offensive formations are going to be, where guys 563 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 5: are going to motion and shift to. So really with 564 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 5: those kind of players, if it's not in the front 565 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 5: in the pass rush where you can kind of set 566 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 5: the protection in certain senses, where you put guys, you 567 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 5: just want problem solvers, a guy who can move around 568 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 5: to you and take as many problems off your plate 569 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 5: as possible, where it's moving and shifting the formation in 570 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 5: some sense, and we've borne they essentially put him into 571 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 5: what's like a walking linebacker role where you play off 572 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 5: the ball or you can walk down to the edge, 573 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 5: and it's just really difficult to find one. We have 574 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 5: like a linebacker crisis in the league. There's like six 575 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 5: good ones. He's one of them. It's really difficult to 576 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 5: find a guy who can play off the ball soundly, 577 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 5: who can go down to the edge and a thumb 578 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 5: in the wrong game, who can give you some pass 579 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 5: frust sauce off the edge as well, and then truly 580 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 5: who can drop from there into coverage to pick up 581 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 5: all the crosses and all the things the league's trying 582 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 5: to attack people with. And he's just the all around 583 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 5: guy who can do that. To me, it's really similar 584 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 5: to when Jamaine Prapp was with the Bengals. And I 585 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 5: know no one cares about Jermaine Prep, but he was 586 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 5: kind of the secret thoughts that made the Bengals defense 587 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 5: go when they were making it to the Super Bowl. 588 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 5: But he was never the kind of pass for sky 589 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 5: or blitz the ball in is. So he really is 590 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 5: in terms of coverage, fit in the run, and then 591 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 5: just making plays on the ball, whether it's false footballs 592 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 5: and deceptions. For where the league is at right now, 593 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 5: if you want to run a defense somewhat akin to 594 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 5: what Vic Fango is running, God what Vic's running in Philadelphia. 595 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 5: Having that move piece you can play off the ball 596 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 5: and on the end is like the number one gotta 597 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 5: have thing. And he was just the best at it 598 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 5: by far in the NFL A season. 599 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: That's bold, and yet I buy it, like you just 600 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: have the proof of concept and you say there's an 601 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: off ball linebacker crisis, and I hear that. And yet 602 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: that's the one one of the positions in free agency, 603 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: which is pretty strong. At least there's five or six 604 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: guys that you can make a case for. But Bonn 605 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: is a top the list because of what he did. 606 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: And I shouldn't be totally influenced by this, but I am. 607 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: Did you happen to watch the miked up of the 608 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Zach Bond at all? Like he's heavily 609 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: featured in that, I have. 610 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 5: Not seen that. 611 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: I Well, first of all, I mean you you expect him, 612 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: I guess, to kind of be a general and a 613 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: leader of that defense, and he's just so fired up 614 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: and all you can just see how much he takes 615 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: command of that defense and how important he is just 616 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: as a leader. And yet just the mental side of things, 617 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: like after the Cooper dejen interception. He clocks that, hey, 618 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: you saw me over there, and now now I'm forgetting 619 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: the total details. 620 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: And he's like, and you knew I basically. 621 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: Had the flat covered and that there were two guys 622 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: over there, so you just decided to do your own 623 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: thing and peel off and watch them right And and 624 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: the Gene was like, yeah, that's exactly. He's like, ah, 625 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: that's that's a veteran shit, you know. And I was 626 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: just like so impressed. He knew everything that was happening 627 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: in the moment. And it's just such a perfect fit. 628 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 5: It's truly impossible to overstate how much they change that defense. 629 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 5: In like Week three, men when they crushed the Saints, 630 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 5: the Saints we like housing everyone for two weeks. What 631 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 5: a fun time. That was the completely defense because they 632 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 5: moved Zack Boorne's position essentially, and it does completely transform 633 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 5: into being the best defense quite comfortably in the league. 634 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 5: And to have that kind of impact when you've been 635 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 5: a special teams guy, a situational pass rushing where the 636 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 5: Saints like there is no situation will let you rush 637 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 5: the passer for some reason, become truly the best all 638 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 5: around linebacker in the NFL last season, I thought he 639 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 5: was the defensive player of the year, and he's available 640 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 5: in freezy. The age concerns If you've got to pay 641 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: big money for the twenty nine year old he's got 642 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 5: one year production, it's a real concern. I can't imagine 643 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 5: that someone like Mike Vrabel, who has all kinds of 644 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 5: cash full, you know, fallen out of his park agency, 645 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 5: wouldn't be tempted to go and give it a try 646 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 5: as a kind of cultural reset, knowing you're snagging. As 647 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 5: I said, I think there's maybe six seven difference making 648 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 5: linebackers in the league right now, and he would be 649 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 5: one of them. 650 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: Sneaky old. I didn't realize that he's twenty eight. He 651 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: will turn twenty nine at the very end of the 652 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: upcoming season. But I didn't realize that it would be 653 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: funny because I was thinking Vic Fangio teams out there, 654 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of who runs a similar defense. 655 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, he'd fit with the Saints. But yeah, 656 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: they don't really, they're not going to welcome it back 657 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: that that would be insane. They also don't have any 658 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: cap space to sign Zach Bond. All right, I'll go 659 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: next We got it, we'll pick it up. But I 660 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: want to spend a lot of time about Zach Bond. 661 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: He was high on my list. One that I would 662 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: want is Charvarius Ward. He is a free agent this year. 663 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: He's been in the NFL for seven years. He's about 664 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: tenth on my total list, and he's coming off a 665 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: bad year, which needs context. He lost to his young child, 666 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: and that's the most horrible thing that you can imagine 667 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: a person having to go through. And he talked about 668 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: and he was away from the team, how much that 669 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: affected him. And it was really a year long process 670 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: of unfortunately after his daughter was born, dealing with that, 671 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: and he wasn't there, and he says he needs to 672 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: get out of California. And I do want to put 673 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: that there because I think it adds a little context 674 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: to that. He didn't look like himself this year. He 675 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: was still like an NFL cornerback. He wasn't terrible, but 676 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: he didn't look like himself. But then I think back 677 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: to the last few years before that. In just twenty 678 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: twenty three, led the NFL and pass breakups had five interceptions, 679 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: was sixth in that category in terms of pass breakups 680 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: in twenty two, like I was trying to think like 681 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: I was trying to think of big Charvarius Ward moments 682 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and the Conference Championship and leading up, 683 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: and I went back and looked its like, well, yeah, 684 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: he was never targeted. He got targeted once in those 685 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: two games combines. And when I watch him, he always 686 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: seems to know the coverage so well. An incredibly smart player, 687 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: an incredibly tough player. There's that touchdown by MVS actually 688 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl where he's calling out to like 689 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: the rest of his defense, he kind of knows they're 690 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: in the wrong defense before it happens, he's not the 691 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: one that's supposed to be covering it. And just a 692 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: very heady player and the type of player I often 693 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: look for in free agency, who's a really good player 694 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: that's coming off a bad year, but he's still young 695 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: enough that you believe he has a high level of 696 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: play to him. And it's Charvarius Ward, who I think 697 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: might be at a little bit of a diminished value 698 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: because of the year that he just had, but it's 699 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: just an awesome, excellent player, right A former undrafted free agent. 700 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: I forgot what the Cowboys initially before the Chiefs picked 701 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: him up, but he helped that Chiefs defense so much. 702 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: He helped the forty nine ers. I think he'll help 703 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: some team out there this year. 704 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, you mentioned it. Intelligent, plays the ball in the 705 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 5: air really well. I do just wonder what is the 706 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 5: value going to be because I look through this cornerback 707 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 5: class and I think you can go all the way 708 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 5: down the list to your ending bari's and your hubbs, 709 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 5: and there's some real great value to be at, particularly 710 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 5: if you just want to have a true run around 711 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 5: pressman corner all over the place. Do you want to 712 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 5: go to that top of the market. It just feels 713 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 5: like every year people get burned trying to pack at 714 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 5: the hind of the market. I like him as a 715 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 5: bi low candidate if you think that the money's going 716 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 5: to be down that, but I imagine every team will 717 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 5: be thinking along the same lines you are, and the 718 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 5: once Biran Murphy goes, maybe DJ Reed goes. I think 719 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 5: he's going to be the top of most people's lists. 720 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Carlton Davis I think might get more money than him, 721 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: and then he'll be in that Asante Sammon Junior might 722 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: get more money just because he's younger. We'll say you're right. 723 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: I hope you're not right, you know, because then I'm 724 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: just basic. Every team is thinking the way I'm thinking. 725 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 2: But a debo. 726 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: There's about seven eight guys who are more top of 727 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: the cornerback market. I have a feeling he's not gonna 728 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: get crazy big money. But I could be wrong, and 729 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: maybe he'll have to settle for kind of a one 730 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: or two year type of deal. 731 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: All right, you give me someone else. 732 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 5: Trayvon Morig. Okay, worry to fun player in all the football? 733 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 5: I think the work in Man's Buddha Baker, the guy 734 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 5: who plays all over the formation, plays behind the line 735 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 5: of scrimmage, and absolutely heat seeking missile, hits everything that 736 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 5: moves as hard as he physically can. And if we 737 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 5: can get him, ideally to one of these teams, he 738 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 5: wants to have fun. Who isn't boring and stale? Okay, 739 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 5: get into Vans, Joseph Brian Flores, maybe buying them leaves 740 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 5: the Vikings, and he's looking for a safety. You can 741 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 5: do everything for him. Maybe even the Cardinals say, what 742 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 5: if we had Moregan Baker together? 743 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: What fun? 744 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 5: Just that level of versatility playing all over the formation 745 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 5: with that kind of fierceness. I want that guy on 746 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 5: my team. 747 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 748 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: So Trevon morrig who was I feel like it was 749 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: pretty quiet the first couple of years of his career. 750 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: And you are not the only one who gave me 751 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: some feedback that I had moreg too low. Actually heard 752 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: from someone inside the league that would have him much higher. 753 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: I ended up settling on him between twenty and twenty five, 754 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: and I probably should have had him higher because I 755 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: think a lot of people agree with you. Ali, What 756 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: did he improve on? Because you know he was in 757 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: that last Mike Mayock class. Maybe a little quiet the 758 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: first couple of years. I don't think much of America 759 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: knows what Tron Morrigg's really been doing the last couple 760 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: of years. 761 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,479 Speaker 5: What he's been doing is hitting everyone in the face 762 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 5: as hard does humanly possible. Exciting. Doesn't that sound like 763 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 5: a Mike Mayo play he would have draft? Yeah, because 764 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 5: he is crazy explosive downhill. They use him essentially in 765 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 5: the like pressure and blitz packages. They'll just sub the 766 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 5: linebacker ound and put him in the kind of muddies 767 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 5: up what's happening on the back end. But they get 768 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 5: the same kind of umphuff the ball and he just 769 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 5: makes so many plays behind the line of screamers that 770 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 5: pass which she vanished off a cliff when Christian Wilkins 771 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 5: went out when they lost Max Crosby, and they kind 772 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 5: of hit on the solution off what have we just 773 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 5: sent Trayvon every single time that we can, I think 774 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 5: against the Chiefs, he blitzed like fifteen times an all 775 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 5: from depth. Paul Guy had a cardio workout and still 776 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 5: has the bigger body, can kind of match tight ends 777 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 5: in man coverage for you. He is often lost and 778 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 5: clueless when he's deep and off the ball. So if 779 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 5: he goes to somewhere like Baltimore or something like that, 780 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 5: we may be in trouble in terms of having blitzing 781 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 5: attack mode type defense. He's the ideal fit. 782 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's weirdly a bunch of teams that don't have 783 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: any safeties right now. The Jets don't have any safeties. 784 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: The Dolphins actually would I think would be maybe a 785 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: nice home for him. 786 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 2: The Bengals could use him, but I don't know if 787 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: Al Golden. 788 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know enough about Al Golden to know if 789 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: he's going to be that creative. It would be fun 790 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: to see him in a Cardinals type defense where they 791 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: totally unleash him. 792 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 2: I like that one a lot. All Right, I'm gonna go. 793 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 2: Let's go. 794 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: Let's stay at off ball linebackers at least, I don't 795 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 1: mind being risky. I want to go Drake green Law 796 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: at this point in his career, Let's just get him 797 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: on a one year like so many teams have so 798 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: much cap space. If he's not going to sign a 799 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: deal unless he gets a bunch of guaranteed money, just 800 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: give him a ton in one year and see what happens. 801 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: And I am inordinately affected by the like three quarters 802 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: of football he played in twenty four because he's coming 803 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: off a torn achilles stending. 804 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: That's very worrisome. 805 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: The fact that he reinjured it and it was a 806 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: calf injury after that very worrisome. And Yet, if you're 807 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: looking for a tone set or you're talking about more 808 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: like Dray green Law in those three quarters made as 809 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: many like monster hits and looked like the best linebacker 810 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: in football for those three quarters as some linebackers hit 811 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: all year. So I like taking a chance on him. 812 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: You're a year more removed from the injury. Obviously, didn't 813 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: play a lot last year, so you're not spending top 814 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: of the market money like you would with Zach Bond 815 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: or even with the Nick Bolton. I don't necessarily think 816 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: green Law is going to get that kind of deal, 817 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: but I think these are the types of chances that 818 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: are okay to take in free agency if you have 819 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: enough cap space and you're not doing a bunch of 820 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: years on it, like add Drake Greenlaw to your defensive 821 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: mix and just kind of see what happens. 822 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 5: I like that if it's a team who is maybe 823 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 5: trying to change the culture slightly, let's get some veterans 824 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 5: in here who know where to be. I can see 825 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 5: that intence you mentioned, the tone setting thing. He's he's 826 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 5: he was pretty limited at the best of times. The 827 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 5: ideal foiled to Fred Warner, but Warner was kind of 828 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 5: the guy who's covering up all kinds of stuff in there, essentially, 829 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 5: and every time they put someone next to Fred outside 830 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 5: of the season, everyone looks pretty good. So Achilles injury, 831 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 5: cough injury, I would be it's it's it's pretty risky, 832 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 5: but if it's if it's a have everyone feel good 833 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 5: when we go to training camp and we got some. 834 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: Well, no, you could just say you don't like the pick. 835 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're trying to dance around it here, 836 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: you don't like it. 837 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 5: I know, I know, I think he's a really good player. 838 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 5: I just don't know of coming off an Achilles injury. 839 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 5: If you're a team who needs the position filled, if 840 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 5: you like the Books who are crying out, we got 841 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 5: to get some linebackers in here. I'd be really worried 842 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 5: if that pick was let's go for Drake Green law 843 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 5: of a Jamin Show what uor something like that. 844 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: Okay, it is fair to point out there there are younger, 845 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: safer options at the position. Ernest Jones is an interesting one. 846 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: Nick Bolton is another one. Jamie and Sherwood. I think 847 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: from the Jets is going to be a popular choice. 848 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: But you know, I don't mind taking a chance, all right, 849 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,439 Speaker 1: Go give me another one. Ali gon Afford Okay, yeah, 850 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: he was on my list too. 851 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 5: The stoutest run stuffer we have in the league right now. 852 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 5: I don't think the Chargers should let him anywhere out 853 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 5: of the building, but I imagine some semblance of a 854 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 5: bidding war. This is his best season by far in 855 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 5: terms of giving you some kind of astrosh umph to 856 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 5: go with the kind of early down run defense stuff. So, 857 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 5: particularly where the league is at right now, with how 858 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,439 Speaker 5: many teams are trying to basically crowd up the line 859 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 5: of scrimmage early in the down and distance, which is 860 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 5: not where we were at even a couple of years ago. 861 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 5: Teams are so split now with five men along the 862 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage to kick things off with a couple 863 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 5: of deep safeties. Having someone who can at least be 864 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 5: an effort guy in the play action world, that's the 865 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 5: only thing you need from him is can you sit 866 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 5: down in the gaps early on and hold up against 867 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 5: the running Can you give us some effort and some 868 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 5: push in the passing game? And he is to me 869 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 5: is like as the Bowling Bowl body type where it's 870 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 5: just like plunb that guy down seal off some gaps 871 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 5: for us. He is he is right there at the 872 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,479 Speaker 5: top of the league based on less season. 873 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and not have to have it, you know, as 874 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 1: many down linemen like you mentioned. The only small concern 875 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: I've always loved poona Ford want to mean a Kaimes's 876 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: favorite players. You know, the Chargers had this magical way 877 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: of taking these guys that I personally always thought were 878 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: underrated and suddenly turning their careers around when they would 879 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: just look like about over. Like there was like five 880 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: of them last year. I Christian Fulton is another guy 881 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: that's on my list. We might as well just mention 882 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: him now. So Poona Ford is one Elijah Molden who 883 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: they just re signed actually, but would have been a 884 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: good free agent pickup for someone. Tierre Tart suddenly popped 885 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: up on the Chargers and was pretty good, and then 886 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: Poona Ford. So I don't know, is this there's some 887 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: like magic Jesse Minter pixie dust that worked on Poona 888 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: Ford that wouldn't translate elsewhere because he's coming off a 889 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: season where he basically didn't get on the field much 890 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: for the Bills and didn't get any money in free agency. 891 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 5: That's true in Jesse Mint to maybe a. I think 892 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 5: he's about as good as we have right now. But 893 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 5: I also go one on one and embarrassed Joe Toney 894 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 5: go one on one and embarrassed Chris Linstrom makes Caesar 895 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 5: Orwiz have night mess. 896 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 2: The rest of his life. 897 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 5: So I get put on good competition. He was not dominant, 898 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 5: but pretty damn good, and then he embarrassed lower level 899 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 5: competition and that was all one on one, so I 900 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 5: don't think it was necessarily just meant it. 901 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's also you know, you're playing with these 902 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: other great players, you're playing for an organization that expects 903 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: the best, and you raise your level. That's how I 904 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: feel like I had to do today knowing Alli was 905 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: coming on. So I actually went back and like watch 906 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: some more Christian Fulton tape this year, and I was 907 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: actually a little less impressed than I was hoping to 908 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: be because there was like an eight game stretch with 909 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: the Titans I always hold on to where it's like, wow, 910 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: he really looked like a number one corner I feel 911 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: like he's a little undervalued. 912 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 2: Watching the Chargers. 913 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: A little more at length, you know, he had some 914 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: tough matchups over the years, like t Higgins gave it 915 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: to him for most of that game. Competitive guy. What 916 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Christian Fulton? Maybe I'm not quite 917 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: a sigh after going back in watching, but I do 918 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: think he's a serviceable, solid cornerback that won't be at 919 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: the top of the market. 920 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think a serviceable guy. It's more of a 921 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 5: zone based system and it's a lot of deep drops 922 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 5: and a lot of make sure Christian gets the depth 923 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 5: and keeps his eyes in front of the ball. I 924 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 5: think that you're okay there it is, you're playing more 925 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 5: matched up and we've got more one or more responsibilities. 926 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 5: That's when he gets into trouble. I mean all those 927 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 5: charges corners, you go through them, the rookies, everything, Everyone 928 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 5: had a good middle stretch of the season. They were 929 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 5: doing so many unusual things coverage why Its kind of 930 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 5: freaked everyone out, annoying to go, and it gamified some 931 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 5: of the covered stats in particular side that back end 932 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 5: would be the one where I'd be like, I don't 933 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 5: want to be paying for Minta's work on the back end. 934 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 5: The guys up front of the ones, I'd be comfortable 935 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 5: giving Mac the deal for the deal. 936 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting too. 937 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: They valued Moulden or Molden maybe just didn't want to 938 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: see what was behind door number two and got a deal. 939 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't think we mentioned that on this podcast. But 940 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: a nice little slack corner. All right, give me your next. 941 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 5: Pick, Brandon Shove. 942 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 2: Okay, surprising. 943 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 5: Have you seen the tackle market in this for aging class? 944 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 2: I mean the offensive line in general, it's pretty rough. 945 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 5: Yes, a disaster situation. All these teams need tackles, all 946 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 5: these team needs guards. You go to the draft and 947 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 5: there's probably gonna be four guards selected in the first 948 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 5: round at this point because everyone just needs any lineman 949 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 5: that can help out. Brandon Schurf last year under the 950 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 5: radar because the Jags season completely fell apart. He was 951 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 5: healthy this year for the first time in a long 952 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 5: time where he's been able to get for a season. 953 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 5: I think it'd be pretty cheap to get him out 954 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 5: of there, and I know that the Bears have made 955 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 5: a move for Jonah Jackson. But somewhere like Chicago where 956 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 5: you can get a little bit more run centric, a 957 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 5: really deep, vertical play action type game the way Ben 958 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 5: Jonson wants to play. I thought by the middle part 959 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 5: of last year he was playing at pretty much an 960 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 5: All pro level compared to the press, probably on the thirteen. 961 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 5: All Pro doesn't really have the juice anymore, can't really 962 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 5: give you some of the fun pull Brandon's chef stuff 963 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,439 Speaker 5: we used to get, but just a one on one 964 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 5: guy to enforce in the wrong game and then give 965 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 5: you just enough in the passing game to hold up 966 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 5: I think it's a probably going to be a pretty 967 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 5: cheap low fly bet on that guy. 968 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is why I I love having you on 969 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: because I think his uptick last year and he's managed 970 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: to stay healthy the last few years for the Jaguars 971 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: is pretty under the radar. And look he's getting up there. 972 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: He's almost what is he thirty three to thirty four? 973 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: He's actually the last guard. He's thirty three years old 974 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: right now. To be taken in the top ten, right, 975 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: there hasn't been a guard since him. 976 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 5: Zach Martin went six. 977 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 2: Right at the time, though they tried to tackle first. 978 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: So a guy that you knew was going to be 979 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 1: a guard, which I think Shurf was like that at 980 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: the time. Maybe Will Campbell will be that guy for 981 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: some team they honestly, he could get taken in the 982 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: top ten and just put him at guard right away, 983 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: depending on what team it is. I don't think that 984 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: will happen, but that's possible. But that's interesting. Yeah, while 985 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: we're here, we don't have to just stick to the 986 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,400 Speaker 1: same format the whole time if I don't want to, Like, 987 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: are there, because I'm curious if there's any other takes 988 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,280 Speaker 1: you have on the guards that are available, Tevin Jenkins, 989 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, Makai Becton's going to be out there. Will 990 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: Fries from from the cold, you know, Kevin Zeitler is 991 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: coming off like a halfway decent year. 992 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 2: Though that's like the top of the market. 993 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: Maybe Patrick McCarry, who you move him back to guard, 994 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: who is with the Ravens, But he was probably better 995 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: at tackle when he was there, Like, is anyone getting 996 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: you going out of this class? 997 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 5: It's a time McCary I thought was pretty much a mess. 998 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 5: James Daniels, I know again, he played really well in 999 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 5: the short snaps were able to see if him. Fries 1000 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 5: is really really intelligent. If you could just pull away 1001 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 5: Fries and Kelly together, you would actually have a come 1002 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 5: with an offensive line off you're the Patriots, for instance, 1003 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 5: saying hey, Drake, may we need to get some adults 1004 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 5: around you. Pulling off the double deal would be something 1005 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 5: that'd be interested in if I was a team. They 1006 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 5: probably will miss from week six onwards for you and 1007 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 5: be with the medical team, but you'll feel really good 1008 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 5: for those first six weeks. But it's a pretty rough market. 1009 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 5: Even Tray Smith I thought that was a ludicrous thing 1010 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 5: to tag him at that price. I thought it was 1011 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 5: ludicrous the contracts being floated around for Tray Smith. So 1012 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 5: it's just a pretty ropey tackling god market. 1013 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: You thought Smith was worth it because when he got 1014 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: attacked a little bit that down the stretch there by 1015 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs a. 1016 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 5: Little bit is being very kind, Okay. I think it 1017 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 5: is a really talented player. I think that he flashes 1018 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 5: a lot in the wrong game, in the screen game, 1019 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 5: and we get the best screen coach in the NFL 1020 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 5: put in the really special talent out in space, and 1021 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 5: that stuff really pops and is good. He's just been 1022 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 5: inconsistent his entire career in pass pro. He don't pay 1023 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 5: someone over twenty million dollars a guard to be inconsistent 1024 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 5: in pass pro. And when they moved two Ney to 1025 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 5: left tackle, teams teed off on him. They set their 1026 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 5: entire pass first plan to attack a guy who's going 1027 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 5: to be the highest paid guard in the NFL, and 1028 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 5: he Folded gave up sixteen pressures in the final three 1029 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 5: games after Tony moved to left tackle. Once you take 1030 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 5: away the three of them together, Creed, Trey and Tony, 1031 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 5: Creed always helps the tray side and once you moved 1032 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 5: Tuny outside and they bought Caliendo and they started having 1033 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,919 Speaker 5: Creed help towards Caliendos side, and so teams just teed 1034 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 5: off on Trey and it was a bit of a 1035 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 5: mas I just wouldn't I love the player of the talent. 1036 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 5: I get it, there's only so many cards in the NFL. 1037 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 5: He would probably still be in the top ten. But 1038 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 5: I thought it was a really inconsistent down year for 1039 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 5: play who's supposed to won the three or four best 1040 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 5: his position. 1041 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: Wow, you know, don't let the dulcet tones distract you 1042 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: from Ali just you know, massacrering Tray Smith right there, 1043 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,479 Speaker 1: just just an assassin. Let's let's stick on the chiefs. 1044 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Sean Wharton. I thought you might 1045 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: take him, maybe maybe he would be on your your 1046 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: list at some point, but he's definitely on my He 1047 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: just plays with a nastiness that is obvious when when 1048 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: you see him on the coaches film too, Like he's 1049 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 1: always that guy like yelling after a play and like 1050 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: screaming as he goes to the sideline, screaming at the opponent, 1051 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: screaming at his players. I like that there was that 1052 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,920 Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl, which you know is in 1053 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: my mind because because I was there that like, Tyler 1054 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: Stein came in for one play and then to shun 1055 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: Wharton like got past them with a great inside move 1056 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: and Stein like literally didn't touch him. 1057 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 2: It was the first place Stein was in. 1058 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,280 Speaker 1: There was actually a bunch of plays where he flushed 1059 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,879 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts out very quickly. He pushed Lannon Dickerson back 1060 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: on a couple of plays. Unfortunately, you know, Hurts got 1061 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: out and off and made the play. But really a 1062 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: great playoff run in general. There was a play at 1063 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,959 Speaker 1: the goal line where he just plants Josh Allen into 1064 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: the ground. He walked back Titus Howard, I'm really thinking 1065 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: about the playoff run in general. But a young player 1066 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 1: a lot of moves for a guy who's two hundred 1067 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: and eighty pounds, I just think plays with a lot 1068 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: of energy and fits a very rare, you know type 1069 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,839 Speaker 1: in free agency, which is that he's young, he has 1070 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 1: enough experience but not too much experience. So a guy 1071 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 1: hopefully that's on the ascension at a position where guys 1072 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 1: continue to get really better and better at defensive tackle 1073 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 1: kind of in their fourth, fifth, sixth, year. 1074 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, one of my favorite plays, one of the sneaky, 1075 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:43,359 Speaker 5: dirtiest plays in the NFL. You mentioned this joint, and 1076 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 5: you don't really normally get the ascendant young guys who 1077 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,840 Speaker 5: I think is actually attainable and gettable from the Chiefs. 1078 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 5: So I'm sure they'll make a good offer. And he 1079 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 5: was undrafted and has made no cash in his life, 1080 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 5: so you can go and probably get him for what 1081 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 5: would be an affoordable right. You may have to go 1082 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 5: a Milton Williams absolutely through the nose right to get 1083 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,280 Speaker 5: him out of Philadelphia that it seems like he's gone, 1084 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 5: But they'll probably be a bidding war for Milton Williams. 1085 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 5: Whereas Wharton I think is the next band down that 1086 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 5: is not really that much for a drop off different 1087 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 5: style of player. One is much bigger, thicker, longer. Wharton 1088 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 5: is kind of the short, more explosive, light penetrating type 1089 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 5: upfield Russia. I actually think he gives you slightly more 1090 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 5: on the rundowns than even Williams does do at this 1091 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 5: stage in his career. So I would be really surprised 1092 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 5: that it wasn't like four or five teams really trying 1093 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 5: to get on Walterton. 1094 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I ranked him too low. I mean you're saying 1095 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: there's not that huge of a gap. I mean, I 1096 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,399 Speaker 1: love me some Milton Williams. He's on my list too. 1097 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 1: I'd certainly want to sign him. The price might get 1098 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 1: a little out of control. I should have had Wharton higher. 1099 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: Who do you got next? 1100 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 5: I have Nate Hobbs. 1101 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that makes me feel well because I've looked 1102 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: at some other lists out there they didn't even have 1103 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: Hobs on it, and I have had him pretty high. 1104 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 2: I like me some Nate Hobbs. 1105 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,240 Speaker 5: Nate Hobbs is just a bumper and run follow someone 1106 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 5: everywhere they go, and you'll have three brain thoughts a 1107 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 5: game and we'll all get really frustrated. Star right, we'll 1108 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 5: get those ninety percent reps where he just gives all 1109 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 5: I think the injury concerns of but twenty six years old. 1110 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 5: You mentioned not in a lot of people's lists. I 1111 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,760 Speaker 5: think people can get him really really cheap this season. 1112 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 5: And he's not a vestyle player. He does what he does, 1113 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 5: but for teams he want to be true man coverage 1114 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,919 Speaker 5: teams again, the Jets who Arren Glenn going and trying 1115 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 5: to find some extra pieces, they can put the I 1116 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 5: think Hubbs would be a really good bug and pick up. 1117 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that pick a lot. 1118 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 1: Similar age in terms of coming out of his rookie 1119 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,959 Speaker 1: contract for me, as Levi Onwuzurique big risk in terms 1120 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: of his health that he could not stay on the 1121 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: field his first three years. You know, I listened to 1122 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 1: Lions podcasts and they talked about maybe it was a 1123 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 1: little bit of approach to professionalism and a little bit 1124 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: of injury, the combination of the two, and Dan Campbell 1125 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: started talking him up kind of going into his third 1126 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 1: year he didn't quite stay healthy, that he's really had 1127 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: an epiphany in terms of how he's going to approach 1128 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: being a pro, and then had a really good year. 1129 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 1: I thought, from my eyes in his fourth year, like 1130 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 1: a lot of pressures sneaky high on the QB hits 1131 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 1: list if you just search by all defensive tackles own Wizourique. 1132 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: Is there just a big dude in a league that 1133 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 1: needs more big dudes. So you're hoping that the improvement 1134 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 1: that he made in terms of taking care of his 1135 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,839 Speaker 1: body carries over. 1136 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 2: The Lions can't pay everyone. 1137 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,880 Speaker 1: I think they'd like to keep him if they could, 1138 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: But he's kind of a similar type to me. Is 1139 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: there's only so many young guys coming off a good year. 1140 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: And again I keep mentioning with the defensive tackles, but 1141 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: it is a position where it does seem to take 1142 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 1: about three years to get used to being in the pros. 1143 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: And right now he is playing his best ball that 1144 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: we've seen by a good amount. 1145 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 5: He definitely is. It does terrify me when you say 1146 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 5: the guy got himself into shape and cat when he 1147 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 5: was a contract season. I hadn't thought about That makes me. 1148 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 5: It makes me pretty worried that the light only just 1149 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 5: went on. So if there's going to be a batting war, 1150 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 5: I think I would look elsewhere. I think the defensive line. 1151 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 5: Klus Hay is really deep in the defensive line. Glass 1152 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 5: in the draft is outreached deep. So I think it's 1153 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,800 Speaker 5: it's gonna probably suppress this middle band of the market. 1154 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 5: I would have thought. So if you can get him 1155 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 5: on a decent contract, he would probably just return to 1156 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 5: the Lions and you end up just trying to outpit 1157 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 5: the Lions for not a huge needle mover. He's one 1158 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 5: of the all time, Like arrived to high five everyone 1159 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,959 Speaker 5: that the quarterback wasn't late. But then he just turns 1160 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 5: up in high fives. Everyone says, good job. If there's 1161 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 5: a guy he doesn't have that level of impact and 1162 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 5: he only got you know, himself in shape for the 1163 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:28,800 Speaker 5: contract year, that would. 1164 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,720 Speaker 2: Make me a bit concern that that is a little 1165 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 2: a little concern. 1166 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: I think Gambell started talking off a little bit going 1167 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,479 Speaker 1: into the third year that he was turned in the corner, 1168 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 1: but then he didn't stay healthy. And then let's do 1169 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of names quickly here at the end, I 1170 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: kind of speed around any other fun ones that are 1171 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: out there. I noticed none of it. We didn't pick 1172 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: any receivers. I didn't have any receivers in my list. 1173 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 5: I really like Nick Westbrook, Aikine. You know there was 1174 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 5: Westbrookikinny and Josh Parlimer. If you're looking for some kind 1175 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 5: of down the field juice, essentially, I think Akine has 1176 00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 5: real gas and I could see him sliding to the Chiefs. 1177 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,880 Speaker 5: And then we get to third and forever against the 1178 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 5: Bills in January again and he goes west Brokakinni behind 1179 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 5: the secondary and mahomes fine. If you're looking for a 1180 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 5: cheap a fly down the Field. I think that's the guy. 1181 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: You like him more than Darius Slayton or Marquise Brown 1182 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,280 Speaker 1: or Dammy Brown or just because of the value. 1183 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 5: Because of the value, Jammy Brown probably the one ahead 1184 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 5: of him. But other than that, I think i'd been 1185 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,760 Speaker 5: on Westbrookakine with the age and the speed. 1186 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, when I was doing this exercise, it's like, yeah, 1187 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: I like Stefan Diggs, but he's coming off a major 1188 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:31,359 Speaker 1: injury and. 1189 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,280 Speaker 2: God God, when of course you like Godwin. 1190 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get to the open market, 1191 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 1: but he's coming off a serious injury. And I do 1192 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: remember the last time he was coming off when it 1193 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: took a while to get going there. There's other names 1194 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: like Elijah Moore out there. One name I threw out 1195 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: there was and this is just I have a hard 1196 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: time quitting him. Is like Mike Williams. Mike Williams and 1197 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,879 Speaker 1: Marcus Davenport would fall into the category of like, you're 1198 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 1: not the dumb team that paid him last year. Okay, 1199 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: so if you're gonna do this, actually they're a year 1200 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 1: you know healthier. In theory, Davenport comes up with like 1201 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 1: a new way to get hurt every but this is 1202 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 1: the their value is going to be so depressed that 1203 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 1: it really is truly just a flyer. Do they have 1204 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 1: anything left in their career? Would it shock me if 1205 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: Mike Williams is a better version of himself this year 1206 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: and helps you out as a third or fourth and 1207 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: Marcus Davenport helps you out with four hundred and five 1208 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: hundred snaps for like two or three million, it would 1209 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 1: not surprise me, because these guys, Yeah, they were pretty 1210 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: talented in their in their peaks, they were pretty good. 1211 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 5: William I mean, Williams never have that any evolution to 1212 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,120 Speaker 5: his game as he agescy. If you'll the Ravens all 1213 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,439 Speaker 5: someone who's a contender things, could we steal this guy 1214 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 5: pretty cheap and we we least get certainty and what 1215 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 5: the player is. I like that for the contenders, for 1216 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 5: the Bills and the Ravens. 1217 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to be like a fourth receiver. I'll 1218 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: throw out my my final just sort of speed round guys. 1219 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 2: Third round. 1220 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 1: But you know, you don't usually pick up third down 1221 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 1: backs and free agency, but like if Ty Johnson or 1222 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,920 Speaker 1: Kenny gain Will only costs you like two or three 1223 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 1: million dollars, just like Okay, let's settle that position. Those 1224 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: are two good players. It's like one last thing that 1225 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 1: you have to work about, worry about. And then of 1226 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: all the backups, I always rank Jameis Winston too high, 1227 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 1: and I stand by that, but it's actually I wouldn't 1228 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: hate getting Jimmy g as my backup this year. 1229 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 2: I feel like he's a pretty good backup. 1230 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 5: Are you sure? 1231 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's that Week eighteen game against Seattle 1232 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: where you got you saw the McVeigh sprinkle on him 1233 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: and the fact that they were sneaky. Okay, I think 1234 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,959 Speaker 1: with going into this year with Jimmy Garoppolo and a rookie, 1235 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,360 Speaker 1: if they didn't keep Stafford, I was like, okay, maybe 1236 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: like a Garoppolo that's had a couple of years to 1237 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: just be healthy as your backup. Can he come in 1238 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: for three or four games? I'm okay with that, but 1239 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:37,799 Speaker 1: maybe you're not. 1240 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 5: I would know. I would just draft to guys that 1241 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 5: guy in Canada who's playing. I just take two guys 1242 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 5: to draft and hope to the best. Let me throw 1243 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 5: a couple more aways. I think josh Ucca well the 1244 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 5: stringest freeze AND's available last season for the Patriots of 1245 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 5: the year before I should say, unbelievable production off the edge. 1246 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 5: Then he basically isn't interested in play this season. He 1247 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 5: gets traded to the Chiefs. I really thought you would 1248 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 5: have a serious third down impact for them in the playoffs. 1249 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 5: Just one of those. It's flashing up on. Collinsworth is 1250 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 5: losing his mind, like how did they get this guy? 1251 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 5: Where's he come from? And just nothing happened. I'm sat 1252 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 5: there thinking, would I rather a Hassam Reddick fifty million 1253 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,839 Speaker 5: dollars or take josh uj for three million dollars and 1254 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 5: see if there really is the player from the Patriots 1255 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 5: two years ago in there. 1256 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 1: Okay, it's a little worry Simmy could just not get 1257 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 1: on the field for the Chiefs and not like shocking 1258 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: he couldn't get on the field for the Patriots a lot. 1259 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:29,959 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there. 1260 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 5: It is peculiar. Noah Enigbari, the corner for the Commanders, 1261 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 5: I think is going to be hidden lost corner in 1262 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 5: the free aging class. He is consistently lost on the 1263 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,440 Speaker 5: field all the time, which I know sounds concerning, but 1264 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 5: they do run some pretty complex stuff. He looks confused there. 1265 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 5: But if you just again have a true man to 1266 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,760 Speaker 5: man corner. If you're a man heavy system like Nate Hobbs, 1267 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 5: I think that he is a good cheap pick up there. 1268 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,320 Speaker 5: Then Baron Browning with the Cardinals. He gets traded to 1269 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 5: the Cardinals out. 1270 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 2: Of no way. 1271 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,799 Speaker 5: He's having an unbelievable year off the edge. You look 1272 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 5: at some of the pressure rate and pass fish win rate, 1273 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,879 Speaker 5: Stuffie's right there with Miles gowert and the very best 1274 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,320 Speaker 5: in the league. I don't think that's necessarily true of 1275 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 5: the play he is, but he has real, real juice 1276 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 5: off the edge. So I think I'd probably rather do 1277 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 5: the Uch Browning pair and see who's healthy he wants 1278 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,800 Speaker 5: to play football than I would sign maybe some of 1279 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 5: the top guys. 1280 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Red be out of a job. 1281 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 5: I'd lose my mortgage. I would I would run a franchise. 1282 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,840 Speaker 1: I mean spending money on Hassan Reddick or whoever. It 1283 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 1: would be, even a Josh Sweat who's gonna be reliable 1284 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,919 Speaker 1: but probably overpaid. That that traditionally hasn't worked that well 1285 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: in free agency. Redicks a fascinating case that people just 1286 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,239 Speaker 1: throw out that year not. I can't believe we made 1287 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 1: it through this whole thing without mentioning Kaisier White. I 1288 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: feel like it's the north Star for both of us. 1289 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 5: We've lost cells now if anything. 1290 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,240 Speaker 1: I know there's there's too many off ball linebackers available. 1291 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:51,919 Speaker 2: There's too many names. But I'm glad we got through. 1292 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 1: Like there's the big names on top of the market, 1293 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 1: we had a couple of those. Oh I forgot one 1294 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,760 Speaker 1: of my favorite ones. I'm throwing them in. It's Malcolm Koons. 1295 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: I know he's coming off of torn acl which is 1296 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 1: pretty major, but man, that last eight games of the 1297 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 1: season that he had for the Raiders, the way he 1298 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,919 Speaker 1: like dipped around the edge. It was against really good 1299 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 1: players too. It is like against Rashwan Slater and some 1300 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 1: really good that he just made look silly. So that's 1301 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 1: that's a young pass rusher. In theory, he got injured 1302 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: so early last year he missed the whole season that 1303 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: he's had some time to get ready. That's one where 1304 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: I always think injured players, like, why not sign them 1305 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: for like a two year deal. It's going to be 1306 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: cheaper than other teams and give a shot for a 1307 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: pretty young, good pass rusher Malcolm Coons. 1308 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 2: I'm ending with. 1309 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1310 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 5: I moved on that one as well, structure the contract 1311 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,520 Speaker 5: the way you do the two year deal. You mess 1312 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 5: around with the numbers however you want. If it hits, 1313 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 5: you've got a cheap guy for the second season. I'm 1314 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 5: all on that. One of all true dip and rip 1315 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 5: pass for shatists, which guys don't really win that way 1316 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 5: in the league that much anymore. They used to get 1317 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 5: shame rate out of the league. You kind of have 1318 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 5: to play with more power. It's funny though, as we 1319 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,479 Speaker 5: went through the list, I've well, together, we have three 1320 00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 5: guys that have young raiders, guys for you that we 1321 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 5: defensively though.
