1 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to forties and free Agents. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I 2 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: am with my friend Daniel Jeremiah, and we are talking 3 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: about maybe my favorite division in all of football. I 4 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: did a whole episode DJ about why we love the 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: NFC South on NFL Daily, which is a great podcast, 6 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: and I have a feeling people listen to both. 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: Do you love the NFC South? 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 3: I have to love the NFC South because Jason Lytill 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 3: give me a hard time if I if I somehow 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 3: disrespect the team or aren't aren't including them in some discussion. 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: So the albody, they're always front of mine. Yeah, I've 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 3: known Jason forever, so there was I don't even this happened, 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: maybe like ten years ago or something, but I some 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: list or one of these conversations and he gave me 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: a hard time about it. So then now anytime a 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: discussion comes up, I always still kind of think about 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: the Bucks, like can I forget because you just kind 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: of they're never that division's never really front of mine. 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: They don't get a lot of buzz or a lot 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: of attention, and then you kind of look up and 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 3: a team like Tampa has been very consistently good for 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: quite some time. 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: Now mine for me. 24 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: On top of that, I think there are Super Bowl 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: contenders this year, so I'll start there. And if you're 26 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: just joining us here on forties in free agent, what 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: we're doing. We're doing two shows a week leading up 28 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: to the NFL season. We're going through every single division 29 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: and we're talking about the top five impact players added 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: this offseason in terms of veterans, and then the top 31 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: five rookies, and we'll apply what we've heard and seen 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: so far in the offseason to that too, and then 33 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a couple of fun episodes previewing the 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: season right before that as well. I'm going to start 35 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: with the Bucks then, because Hassan Redick, to me, was 36 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: the type of signing Daniel that like, that's the type 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: of signing is maybe the cherry on top for a 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: potential Super Bowl contender. I really believe the Bucks are 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: that good. I think they have a lot of room 40 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: for improvement from where they were a year ago on defense, 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: they have the right coach for it. 42 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: And I think Reddick, who just had a. 43 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Totally lost year with the Eagles, I mean with the 44 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: Jets rather last years so forgettable you almost forget he 45 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: was there. 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: I think he can give them what they need. 47 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Which is a little more juice off the edge in 48 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: terms of their pass rush. 49 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that fit there too. You know, I 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 3: steeing this team last year live. It was one of 51 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: the most physical teams that I saw the whole season. 52 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: And when you have Videvea who was just a dominant player, 53 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: and then you got Kancy who can get up the 54 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 3: field as an inside rusher, those are hard to find. 55 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: And now you're able to compliment them with kind of 56 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: a fastball with Hassan Reddick on the outside to go 57 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: along with you know, Logan Hall Elijah Roberts who they 58 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: drafted are more physical kind of base players. So and 59 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: then Diabi's a freaking explosive another explosive player. 60 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 4: So they've they've got guys they can throw at you. 61 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: But to me, I think that we don't necessarily always 62 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: talk about them as the physical teams. But when you 63 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: have an offensive line like they have with Werfs and company, 64 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: they move people on offense on their front and defensively 65 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 3: they can reset the line of scrimmage. So I'm I'm 66 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: a fan of how they approach the game there. 67 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: Here's what I know about Todd Bowles defense. 68 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: You know he's always going to bring the heat and 69 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: that if they're coming off a bad year, he almost 70 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: always rebounds. If you look at his history as a 71 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: coordinator as a coach, and you look at the rankings 72 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: in terms of his defenses, it's not perfect every single season, 73 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: but if he has a bad year, he doesn't stay 74 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: bad for long. And I think they got younger in 75 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: the secondary, and then I think some of the additions 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: they made, you know, in the draft and then free agency, 77 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: and then I do think Redick is just a great 78 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: candidate to bounce back because he was one of the 79 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: most consistent pass rushers in the league for about three 80 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: years before that last year with the Jets. 81 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: All right, give me a rookie. 82 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: All right, I'll stay with that squad, and I'll go 83 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: to a Mecca Buka first round pick wide receiver red 84 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: of Ohio State. 85 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: Who's just to me like ready made. 86 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: There's some prospects when you draft him, and so here's 87 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: our development plan, and you're one's going to look different 88 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: than year two and year three. He is ready made. 89 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: This is a clear packaging. You know exactly what you're 90 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 3: getting with him. And when I pull up my notes 91 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: on him to me and everything out of train camp. 92 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 3: You tell me what you've read and heard, but everything 93 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 3: the feedback I've gotten is that he's been excellent in 94 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: camp thus far. But he's almost a little under six 95 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: to one two hundred pounds. He ran four four eight strong, mature, physical, 96 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 3: Those are the first three words that I wrote down. 97 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: He can work in traffic, He's tough, he tracks the 98 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 3: ball well down the field. He's really good with just 99 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: you know, with late hands. See guys put their hands 100 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: up early and get themselves in trouble with pass breakups. 101 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: He's really just instinctive and natural feel to it. And 102 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: my comparison was his former teammate in Jackson Smith and 103 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: Jigba same school. So I'm really excited about him. I 104 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: think he's ready to go. Those two receivers have played 105 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: at such a high level for so long. Can't do 106 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: it forever, Greg, and I'm excited to see this next 107 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: wave of guys they have, and he's going to be 108 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: the leader of the class. 109 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a single rookie in the 110 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: entire NFL that has more uniformly that have praised preseason 111 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: camp reports in him. And I think it starts with 112 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. 113 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 2: I mean, he was on. 114 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: I forget which podcast it was. I think it was 115 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: Busting the Boys, and they know it was. It was 116 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: New Heights and yeah, they asked him about camp and like, unprompted, 117 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: he just said, Buka is such a dog. 118 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: I'm so excited to play with him. 119 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: He's so smart, he's so physical, and it was just 120 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: an open ended question about anything that stood out to me, 121 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: and he was just like, I can't believe we got 122 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: to add this guy to what is already a really 123 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: good room, which by the way, has a nice young 124 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: player and Jalen McMillan who played really well late last 125 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: year's touchdowns. When Godwin gets healthy, he's the four. Like that, 126 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: that's what you want. You have a good tight end. 127 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: Kate Atton too, like they they're they're cooking with gas. 128 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: To me, I think they are right there behind the 129 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: Eagles as as like in the Lions are in that 130 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: group too, with as the favorites in the NFC. 131 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just he's a really good player. And if 132 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 3: you look at receivers are going to make an impact 133 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: right away. It's the guys who are smart, like you 134 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: start first there. If you can't learn it, you're not 135 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 3: going to be able to either be able to swallow 136 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: all the information to get on the field, or when 137 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 3: you're on the field, you're not going to play fast 138 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 3: because you're trying to process and think through all this stuff. 139 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: The smart guys tend to have an immediate impact because 140 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: they can they can play at full speed. 141 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 4: So that's that's a BUKA. 142 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why these types of guys tend to 143 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: fall in the draft. It's like the receiver that just 144 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, does everything well but isn't like quite as exciting, 145 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: and there's so much uncertainty in the NFL draft that 146 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: and I know even these players sometimes don't work out, 147 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: but he just seemed like worst case scenario, he's going 148 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: to help a lot. 149 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 2: So I'm excited. 150 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: And the com you know, for him, other than Jackson 151 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: Smith and JIGGBA, could be Chris Godwin and that's going 152 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: to be my second guy mentioned. So we're going really 153 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: bucks heavy here. But I just thought it was worthwhile 154 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: to point out that he had options to leave, and 155 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: so to me, he was a free agency signing because 156 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: we heard the offers that he was getting. The Patriots 157 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: were reportedly willing to go much higher on Chris Godwin, 158 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: and there were other teams I think that were going 159 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: to give more. Tampa Bay came up. They're paying him 160 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars a year. It was a great 161 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: story of a team really earning a player's trust and 162 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: vice versa. Because he's coming off a really serious injury 163 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: for the second time in his career, he's a little older, 164 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: and I think with ag Buka, to kind of connect 165 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: the two, they can be a little more conservative with 166 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: his recovery now DJ because he doesn't have to go 167 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: into the lineup right away and it does not sound 168 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: like he's going to be ready for the start of 169 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: the season. 170 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: To me, no, he's playoff. I mean to me, his 171 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: value is let's just let's get to the meaningful games 172 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 3: at the end of the year. Let's get him to 173 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: the postseason. I don't think they necessarily need him, which 174 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: is a nice luxury to have. But all the different 175 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: guys you mentioned, including an underrated tight end in Aught 176 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: and so to me, take your time, absolutely no rush 177 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: whatsoever to get him back out there right. 178 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: And the reason I went Bucks heavy was just all right, 179 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: prove me wrong. Rest of NFC South. When I'm thinking 180 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: of impact players, I'm thinking it was going to really 181 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: matter in some big primetime games late in the season, 182 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. 183 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: I think the Bucks are going to be in those games. 184 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: And so that's why to me, Reddick and Godwin really 185 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: stuck out. But maybe maybe the Falcons, maybe the Saints, 186 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: maybe the Panthers will prove us wrong and they'll they'll 187 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: be in that mix too. Like that, I'll just throw 188 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: one thing at you, like, which which of those three 189 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: teams you know, do you think has the best chance 190 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs other. 191 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: Than the Bucks. 192 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: That's too early for Carolina. I would say, you know, 193 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: Atlanta is there's a lot of talent there. I would 194 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: probably I'm probably going to lead towards Atlanta on that one. 195 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's feel the enthusiasm Falcons fans. 196 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: I mean inspired up. 197 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: No, I you know, I don't think they'll do anything 198 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 3: when they get there, but I could see them pushing forward. 199 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: And every time I talk about that, didn't they sweep 200 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: the Bucks last year? Did Atlanta beat them twice? 201 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 5: A Falcony, Yeah, yeah they did. They had that Curry. 202 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 5: I'm just not yards I can't. I'm just not enthusiastic 203 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 5: about them, and I can't fake it. So they you know, 204 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 5: they always come out, hey we swept them. We're right there. Okay, 205 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: all right, well you did. I can't. I can't refute that. 206 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 5: I just don't share quite as much of the optimistic 207 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 5: view there. So, and the Saints are Saints are not 208 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 5: gonna be good. So, but again, Falcons are the best 209 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 5: of that group. To me, I was just looking this up. 210 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 5: I didn't have a chance to pull this final number. 211 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 5: But the I'm putting these two guys together, the two 212 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 5: first round edge rushers for the Atlanta Falcons and Walker 213 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 5: and Pierce, So I think both these guys are really, 214 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 5: really talented. Last year, the Falcons had thirty one sacks. 215 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 5: I was curious to see. I don't think Walker and 216 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 5: Pierce get to that thirty one, but they came close 217 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 5: to putting a den in that with what they did 218 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 5: in college last year, just compared to what they've had. 219 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 5: And we've been begging them to take a pass rusher forever. 220 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: Every year we think they're going to do it, and 221 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 5: they never do. 222 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: And this year they actually did it, and then they 223 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: came back and got another one, so they paid a 224 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: steep price to do it. But I'm fascinated to see 225 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 3: these guys who had a lot of speed and athleticism 226 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: to go along with guys that know how to rush. 227 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: So they'll be there'll be guys. 228 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: I'm definitely keeping an eye on this year to see 229 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: how quickly they get integrated in how they use them. 230 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: So far, the reports are there's been ups, there's been downs. 231 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: I don't think anything is stuck out. Like Jalen Walker 232 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: sounds like a guy he's got a show that he 233 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: can play on the base downs and maybe maybe he'll 234 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: be ahead there, but he has more to learn in 235 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: terms of the pass rush, whereas Pierce has got that 236 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: juice and you could see it in the preseason them 237 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: kind of setting him up where they got three guys 238 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: on one side trying to create havoc and Walker is 239 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: one of them, and then Pierce is all one on 240 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: one on the other side. It's almost like they're setting 241 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: up Pierce to make that draft pick look good. 242 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: It's got to look good DJ and they gave up 243 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: a first round I know. 244 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: I know that's again add that into the intrigue here 245 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: of what that looks like for this team, but I can't. 246 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: I can't blame them on I thought they got tremendous 247 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: value on Walker and everybody's been begging them to do 248 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: something and they hammered it. They doubled down on it. 249 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 3: So this is an important year for them. That pick 250 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 3: is a top five pick, and that goes down as 251 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: an awful trade, so they need to have a good year. 252 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean even top ten is questionable. Now, I 253 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: Pierce is a great player, then no one's gonna complain. 254 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: But it kind of reminds me of Marcus Davenport in 255 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: New Orleans. Yeah, we always got trade stuck with that. 256 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: We paid two first for Marcus Davenport and he got 257 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: hurt a lot. But if he hadn't been hurt as much, 258 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: big if like, he was actually a totally solid first 259 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: round player, but people thought of him as two firsts 260 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: because that's what they gave up for him. 261 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 2: It's not really his fault. And James Pearce is going 262 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: to be that player for the Falcons. 263 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: All right. 264 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: I'm going to pick my enthusiasm up right now. I 265 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: just feel myself I got to get more excited about 266 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: this this NFC self. 267 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: So it's a challenge to myself. Youve got to coach 268 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: yourself up sometimes. So are you up? Now? Are you 269 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: up next? 270 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I thought you were firing yourself up. 271 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: Maybe just going to coffee. You just get a little 272 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 4: more coffee here. 273 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I will not go with a falcon by 274 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: by the way, I guess since since we're here, I'll 275 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: just bring this up. You're not on this show for me. 276 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: You didn't make any moves. What are you gonna You know, 277 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: it's a little weird. Actually it's actually a rebinder to 278 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: make a real point about it. This regime has been 279 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: there for a minute. They made a lot of moves 280 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: last year, like they got it. This is kind of 281 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: a go time year. They're they're saying they like this roster, 282 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: at least in terms of adding veterans like Leonard Floyd 283 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: or or Kirk took all the money. That's part of 284 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: it too. So I got no falcons. I do have 285 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: a couple of panthers, and I'll give you one here. 286 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: Trevon Morigg is a Mike Mayak special. You know we 287 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: love mentioning Mike Mayak on this show. Drafted back with 288 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders the Number one Guy DJ, where I send 289 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: out a rough draft of my top one hundred and 290 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: one free agents to a few people in the league 291 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: or smart smart writers analysts. I should do it to you, 292 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: but I just figure like, you're kind of busy, you 293 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: don't need you don't need any more extra work. Morigg, 294 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: who I had pretty low on my initial rough draft, 295 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: I got back more than any other person, like, oh, 296 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: you got to move him up. 297 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: He's a good player. He's got to get more than 298 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: you think. 299 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: He's maybe the best safety that's available in this class. 300 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: And I was like, Okay, I'm gonna listen to you all. 301 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: And they made me look smart because he got a 302 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: lot of money and he's going to try to upgrade 303 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: this Carolina secondary. 304 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 3: So if you go back to that draft, they took 305 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 3: Alex Leatherwood with the seventeenth pick and Married with the 306 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: forty third pick. And I remember on draft nights saying, 307 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: because there was a lot of criticism about the Leatherwood pick, 308 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 3: but I said, if they would have just flipped those 309 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: Married to me was a first round player who fell, 310 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: and Leatherwood was a second round player or a third 311 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 3: round player, one of the two who got pushed up. 312 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 3: So to me, it's kind of where you were picked. 313 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: But I thought he should have been picked as a 314 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 3: first round player. And if he just had that background 315 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: of as a first round pick, the way he's played, 316 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 3: especially as of late, we would be talking about him 317 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: a lot more as one of the better better not 318 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: just young states, one of the better safeties played really well. 319 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: It's a good point on attention. 320 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: Like guys who get taken later, not only do they 321 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: tend to suffer in terms of contract renegotiations. Although more 322 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: got all the way to free agency and then he 323 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: got paid well, like he really did get top safety. 324 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 4: It kills him in awards, it kills him in Pro 325 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 4: Bowls and all prices and all that stuff. 326 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and partly it's because, Yeah, it's hard for the 327 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: national media out here. I do my best, but to 328 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: follow all thirty two teams. I mean sometimes you see 329 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: some of these all pro votes. I was doing some 330 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: research on Justin Fields earlier this week and I learned, 331 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of this, TEJ that 332 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: Justin Field's got a fifth place MVP vote a few 333 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: years back when the Bears and I had to go check. 334 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: I was like, was that the year he had all 335 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: the Russian years. Yeah, yeah, okay, they went three and 336 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: fourteen that year. Someone who should have their vote taken 337 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: away voted him fifth for MVP. So not everyone is 338 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: covering the league really completely, or people are just homers. 339 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: I just know we going to all this, you know, 340 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: all the stats and analytics and all this formula. We've 341 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: got all this stuff. I think you're you're gonna end 342 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: up losing your vote. 343 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: Greg. This thing's gonna end up being computerized. 344 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: I want it. I've been pushing. I deserve a vote. 345 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: Todd Brady and Teddy Bruski voting for Joe Toney Offensive 346 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: Player of the Year last year because it was his 347 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: teammates take. 348 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: There, So do you you do not have a vote 349 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: then no, No, for some reason, I thought you did 350 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 3: him a vote. 351 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: I'm not allowed. 352 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: I believe as anflo that's right. You're right, and maybe 353 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: that's Hall of Fame. They wouldn't they wouldn't give it 354 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: to me. To make one last point on the Panthers 355 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: and more. Actually, I'll come bind my next one. Tashaun 356 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: Warton is a defensive tackle that they signed, and I 357 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: can talk about him a little if you want, DJ, 358 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: but my overall point is this Panthers defense needs to 359 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: get a lot better. There's a lot of believers in 360 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: the league. I know you know this that a Giro 361 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: Everro is a good coach, but they were not a 362 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: good defense a year ago, and Panthers fans will say, look, 363 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: if we can just improve the average on defense, this team. 364 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: Could be pretty frisky in twenty twenty five. 365 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: I remember talking to somebody there in that building before 366 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: the season and it was like, we got a great 367 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 3: corner and a great defensive tackle, and then he's just 368 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: like outside of that, like we're we're trying to piece 369 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 3: this thing together at this point in time. So yeah, 370 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: a lot of moves were made there, and we'll see 371 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 3: how that defense comes together. They are gonna be fun offensively. 372 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: Can that get me to my next one here? 373 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: No, I want to say one nice thing about Tashaun 374 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: Wharton because I think the average fan is like, who 375 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: is just to Shawn Warton? He got paid a lot 376 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: of money. First of all, he was kind of the 377 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: backup plant to Milton Williams. But he reminds me he 378 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: thought they were. 379 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 4: Getting Milton Williams. They thought that was done. 380 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: Yeah they did, and that's that's disappointing for them, but 381 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: Warton is a guy, and I gotta admit I watched 382 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: more of the like the playoff film, because you have 383 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: more time, there's less games. Warren popped throughout all last 384 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: year's playoffs, kind of like Milton Williams, like he is 385 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: a big boy who can move people around. And they 386 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: have some big guys there upfront. Derek Brown, who you 387 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: alluded to their defensive tackle is outstanding, and then they 388 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: brought in Patrick Jones from Minnesota, Bobby Brown from a 389 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: Shawn Robinson. These aren't household names, but just a lot 390 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: of big defensive lineman that if nothing else, can help 391 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: them stop the run, which. 392 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: Was disastrous a year ago. So Warren just keep an 393 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 2: eye on him. If this defense gets good, they could 394 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 2: be a very frisky team this year. 395 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: We'll see how they do. I go to the other 396 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: side of the ball with them for my next one 397 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: because their first round pick and Tetoa does not like 398 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: tet I've been told numerous times, So Tetoro, McMillan, T 399 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 3: mac He's okay with t Max, So you can go 400 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 3: that route. But you've already seen early in the preseason. 401 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 3: Bryce likes throwing in the ball. He gives them some 402 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: catch radius in room for air down the field, so 403 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 3: you're gonna be able to just put some balls up 404 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 3: and trust that he can go up there and get them. 405 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: I still have some concerns just with press, like how 406 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 3: he's going to do against physical press coverage. I'm sure 407 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: he's going to see a lot of that early on 408 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 3: to prove he can handle that. Not going to wow 409 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 3: you with separation down the field, but someone who can 410 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 3: who can win and tight aras and with Bryce, he's 411 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 3: someone who's comfortable in his accuracy, in his touch and 412 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: saying I'll give you a chance, man, go go make 413 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 3: a play for me. 414 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 4: And I think he'll give him those opportunities. 415 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: What do you think of that wide receiver room in general? 416 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: I know you you weren't low on McMillan. I got twenty. 417 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he just wasn't all the way up there. 418 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 3: And that was there was some urgency concerns with me, 419 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: Like I just didn't think he always dialed it up, 420 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 3: and I thought there was some some loafs. And I 421 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 3: didn't think he necessarily played to his size, like he 422 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: is a big guy, and I don't think he necessarily 423 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: played quite as physical as that. He's just got unbelievable 424 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 3: body control and the ability to make contested catches. But 425 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: to me at the line of scrimmage was a concern 426 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 3: and some of the urgents and stuff. Yeah, he was concerned. 427 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: You had him behind Golden, But then again, you had 428 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: him in the top twenty receivers I mean twenty players Flowers. 429 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, in a draft that's kind of that's totally 430 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: normal to have guys in that range go where he went. 431 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: It's a it's a weird room. So it's him, It's Get, 432 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: It's Adam Thielen, who still can play. It's Hunter ren 433 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: for who looks pretty good. Jalen Cooker is a young 434 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: guy who made some place one thing with McMillan. They 435 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: drafted Terrace Marshall pretty high. I know this wasn't the 436 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: same regime they drafted Lagette pretty high. 437 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: Those guys. 438 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: Didn't show up right away and practice in preseason and 439 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: camp and everything and kind of just stamp themselves out like, hey, 440 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm a starter. 441 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: We're counting on you everything. 442 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's not perfect, but we we like what 443 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: we see like right away, and it seems like McMillan 444 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: has like they are counting on him a lot. 445 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 4: I think he's, guys, just a better football player than 446 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 4: those guys. 447 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: Those guys were, you know, in Lagett's case, a little 448 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 3: bit tight, but height, weight, speed, a little bit raw. 449 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: Marshall just you know, wasn't a featured player there in 450 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: the group. He was at at LSU. So you know, 451 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: this is a more accomplished player. It's the better, better 452 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: football player who I think will have an impact. 453 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So that is that is our Panthers section of 454 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: the Showdy Saints fan, It's well, we'll talk about you 455 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: after the break. We are back on forties and free agents, 456 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: and it's Daniel Jeremiah's favorite division, the NFC. 457 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: Sath you are up, my friend for an impact rookie. 458 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 3: Well, you got a chance to see this guy live 459 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 3: week one, I guess right, not the I did Hall 460 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: of Fame game, so yeah, the second game for me, 461 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 3: but week one of the preseason. Tyler Shuck, quarterback for 462 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints, played well in the game we 463 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 3: were at. Greg had a pick six in that you 464 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: don't want to see that, but I thought he bounced 465 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 3: back well screen game. 466 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 4: He was comfortable with that. 467 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 3: Callum Moor did a good job of kind of giving 468 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 3: him some controllable plays, got him on the move a 469 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: little bit. He's big, he can move around, he's got 470 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: a live arm. There's gonna be to me. I think 471 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: it's a it's kind of funny because he's a more 472 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 3: athletic version to me of Jamis. But there's like, there's 473 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: there's a chance he could be a strong double agent. 474 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 3: He could run up both sides of the scoreboards. I 475 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: think he's, uh, that's the type of player he could be. 476 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: That's interesting because you know, when Jamis was coming out 477 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: and even young in his career, he got a lot 478 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: of credit for being able to see the field really well, 479 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: being able to anticipate, being able to read defenses. Now 480 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: he couldn't help himself being too aggressive, but you know, 481 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: he got a lot of credit for, you know, having 482 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: the whole picture. Peyton Manning would talk up Jameis Winston 483 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: and his you know, intellectual skills. Do you see Tyler 484 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: shuck like that in terms of being able to kind 485 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: of go through his progressions and see the field like that. 486 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 3: I think he's highly highly intelligent. I think I got 487 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 3: to see more at the NFL level in terms of 488 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 3: asking him to read the full field and do all 489 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 3: that stuff. But I mean, I'm just pull up my 490 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 3: notes on him. He's he's uh, he's got four degrees greg, 491 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 3: he's twenty five years old. He's big and sturdy and strong. 492 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: He can drive the ball. He does get to number three. 493 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: I've got that my notes. So I have seen him 494 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 3: get the number three in progressions, which is good, make 495 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 3: some big off balance throws. There's times where I think 496 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 3: pocket feel and awareness is a little bit of an 497 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 3: issue at times. So we'll see how he does there. 498 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 3: But gosh, the guy's in some almost sixty five two 499 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: and twenty pounds.

I worked for a show called Most Outrageous 515 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Game Show Moments four and. 516 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: Five, I believe. 517 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: And my job was to just watch old game shows 518 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: all day long, looking for outrageous moments, ten hours a 519 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: day DJ for weeks at a time. 520 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: People think that's a great job. It gets old pretty fast. 521 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: What was what was the most likely show to deliver 522 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 4: good content? 523 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: The best show by far, and the most likely show 524 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: was the Ices match Game Game Match Game. 525 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: They were drunk. It was fun. I'll ride for match game. 526 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 4: There was a lot of scrabble, a lot of was 527 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 4: it Brian Billock on Match Game? 528 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: I believe? 529 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: So we would have some old celebrities. But this is 530 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: this is what I did right out of college. Yeah, 531 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned Chuck four degrees? Do you know what the 532 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: degrees are in? That's insane my head. He went to 533 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: college for eleven, fifteen, seventeen years. The progress, by the way, 534 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: for him is exactly what you want out of a 535 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback that starts slow like it reportedly was not 536 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: good that there actually was quite a bit of separation 537 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: between him and Spencer Ratler, just in terms of being 538 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: able to run the offense. And every week, every practice 539 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: you saw it in the preseason, you hear that I. 540 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: Was Chuck's best practice. That was chuckspecks precice. 541 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: And it's getting better and better and he's getting more 542 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: and more comfortable. So we'll see he's the guy you 543 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: would think they want to win that job. I have 544 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: Justin Reid for the Saints as a good pickup. We 545 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: know he's got the job. He had the job even 546 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 1: before Honey Badger retired. If you remember, Honey Badger retired 547 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: right at the start of training camp and then they 548 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: brought in Julian Blackman. This team, it's a weird build. 549 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: They are definitely a veteran team for the most part. 550 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: On defense, you know you have Cam Jordan Granderson and 551 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: to Mario Davis and Pete Warner and you talk to 552 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: people there and Brandon Staley. With Justin Reid, I think 553 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: the entire team is already looking at him as a 554 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: leader and a guy who in that defense is going 555 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: to help get that secondary set. And if this team 556 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: has any pass to be competitive this year, it is 557 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: through that defense, and I've always thought he's an underrated 558 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: player one a couple of Super Bowl, has been to 559 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: another and has helped every team that he's been on, 560 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: and at the excitement level for him, I know inside 561 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: that building among the players and the coaches is very high. 562 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: They are very happy with who they have and justin 563 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: read the safety. 564 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, look to me, he's a dependable, reliable player. When 565 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: I look at this defense on a hole though, I 566 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 3: just you know, age wise, up front and impact wise, 567 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 3: what are you going to get? Percie's is a good player. 568 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 3: I just when I when I look at their group 569 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 3: at this point in time or where these guys are 570 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: in their careers, you know, with Chase Young again solid, 571 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 3: but I don't see anybody and Cam was that guy forever. 572 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 3: But I don't see kool Aid. 573 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 2: Kool Aid's getting a lot of pop. No, kool Aid's done. 574 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 4: Well in the second. But I'm just talking about the front. 575 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 3: And I used to have to work on the advanced 576 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: scouting reports when you're playing a team and we would 577 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 3: kind of just highlight the guy. He's like, Hey, you 578 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 3: don't want this guy to beat you? Like this guy 579 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: that is going to demand extra attention. Who is that 580 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 3: guy on that? On that front, I don't know that 581 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 3: they have one. 582 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd probably be Brissie if he took a big jump, 583 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: that would be your best hope. 584 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 2: But you're you're right, it solid player. 585 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 4: I just don't think you have to game plan around 586 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 4: anybody on that. 587 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: On that front, it's it's yeah, but it's Brandon Staley, 588 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: your old guy's revenge. 589 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 3: You know, he's I think he's going to try and 590 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: not give up big plays and just you know, try 591 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: and try and have a slow bleed there. 592 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: I do want to point out you said I got 593 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: to see Schuck in person, and that was through your largess. 594 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, he gives me all this grief here on 595 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: the show. And then when he hears that I'm going 596 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: to a Charger Saints game with my son, He's a 597 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: good human. 598 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 2: Dan. The first thing he does, he's like, oh, you 599 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: can have my tickets. 600 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: You can take my Chargers and employee tickets, Sit nice 601 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: and comfortable and enjoy some preseason action. 602 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 2: So I think I thank you for that. 603 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 4: DJ. 604 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 2: We got a new favorite player. 605 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, Marlo Axe, Baby, let's go the Uh there's two options. 606 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 3: How you look at that whole situation. 607 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 4: Greg. 608 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 3: Number one, I'm an underrated good friend to you and 609 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 3: looking out for you and wanted you and your son 610 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 3: to have a wonderful evening.

But the Chargers are more interesting. 618 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: They got they got Trey Lance. I would marl parents 619 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: out there.

Sure, go for it. 633 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to go to the same team and I'm 634 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: going to go Princely Uman me Yellen and I probably 635 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 3: messed that up. 636 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 2: I think that's very slow and uncomfortable, but yeah, you're right. 637 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 4: The best is at the Senior Bowl. 638 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: He they were doing it after practice, like one on 639 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 3: ones where they would highlight a couple of guys, and 640 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: he goes. Coach goes there, we have him miked up. 641 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 3: So he goes over to Princely and he's like, hey, 642 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 3: what's your last name? He goes Uman Meellen, and he 643 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: goes what he says it again, he goes all right 644 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 3: in this one on one, uh, Prince and he is 645 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: not even not even going to take a swing of 646 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 3: that thing. 647 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: That's what you guys let as broadcasters to. He's gotten 648 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: a little pop in the in the preseason reports. 649 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: I think he's wearing is he were in thirty three? 650 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 3: I watched I watched his playtime and took a peek 651 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 3: at him. I have to go back and double check, 652 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: but I think he was the one that I was 653 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 3: watching that. Yeah, he was, Yeah, Larry Bird, Larry Ledge. 654 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 4: I kind of like that. 655 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 3: He's long and lean and that thirty three actually kind 656 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: of look kind of cool on him coming off the edge. 657 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: But I guess someone, yeah, numbers meetings anymore? Did don't 658 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: we want numbers to have meetings? 659 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: It's confusing. 660 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 3: No, he looks like Kareem abdul Jabbar coming off the edge. Dude, 661 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 3: I absolutely am a fan of that. But long athletic, 662 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 3: he can win high side, so he wins at the 663 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: top of rushes. He's got a good feel for like 664 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: risk control. You'll see him just latch onto guys get 665 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 3: their hands off him. He can really close and cover ground. 666 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, if you just watched he's not a 667 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: real power guy. That's kind of the knock on him. 668 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: But if you if I put together twenty five play 669 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 3: highlights on everybody in the draft and you just watch 670 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 3: like his twenty five best plays, you'd like that guy 671 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 3: might be a top ten pick. Like he's got some 672 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 3: freaky stuff to him. So we'll see how that all 673 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 3: comes together. But again, I think with him and Scorton, 674 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 3: I'm those two young guys to watch the all. 675 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: Right, I think we're a little higher on the Panthers defense. 676 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: Maybe with all these additions, then I expect the kind. 677 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 4: Of talking myself and the thinking the Panthers might be 678 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 4: decent on defense right now. 679 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: I think so. 680 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: In Canal says that Pete Carroll vibe of like getting 681 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: everyone on the same page and certainly turned them around 682 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: by the end of last year in the offense. I'm excited. 683 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm also excited that my guy, Teddy Bridgewater is back 684 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: in the league. That's my wild card. 685 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 4: I just hope that's Coach Bridgewater to you. 686 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: Hey, he goes, he. 687 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: Wins a state championship for his high school, and then 688 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: he comes back into the NFL. I mean he was 689 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: back in it at the end of last year too 690 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions. And I'm saying this with a 691 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: tongue in cheek because I think he's, you know, an 692 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: underrated always a good you know. 693 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: Story and good player. But hey, if Baker. 694 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: Mayfield misses a game or two, this is a team 695 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: that I've said I think can compete for the Super Bowl. 696 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: So can Teddy Bridgewater keep them competitive for a few 697 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: games while Theaker Mayfield is out? So you know, if 698 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: it's not like a long term injury. I'm assuming he 699 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: gets the backup job over Kyle Trask. Give me some 700 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater back in my life in twenty twenty five. 701 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 3: So we always talk about comps, right, and you you 702 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 3: know they always like us. You know, I don't get 703 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 3: any pressure to this, but it's always with scouts. We 704 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 3: always challenge ourselves to do the cross racial line comps. Yeah, 705 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: that you don't just compare every white slot receiver to 706 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: Edelman or whatever. So I was thinking of who I 707 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 3: would want to play Teddy Bridgewater in the Teddy Bridgewater movie. 708 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Dennis Quaid. I'm gonna go Dennis Quaid 709 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 3: because he was in some baseball movie where he was 710 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: like a thirty five year old who then ended up 711 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 3: going and making his way into the major leagues. Like 712 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 3: had a whole separate life. Teddy was done with football, 713 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 3: had a whole separate life when I won a championship 714 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 3: as a coach, and now he's coming back. So I'm 715 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 3: gonna have We're gonnat dennisque might be a little old 716 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 3: to play this, but that's my that's my pick to 717 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 3: play Teddy Bridgewater in a Bridgewater movie. 718 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: I think that's a little confusing, maybe problematic. I'm not sure, 719 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: but I like the idea of that that was who played. 720 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 2: Actors. 721 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: Is maybe Teddy of quarterbacks underrated, like a higher success 722 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: rate than you realize. He shows up, You're happy to 723 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: see him there. Uh, and so that's where you have a. 724 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 3: Weird does I don't know if Teddy Bridgewater has a 725 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: brother who went off the reservation moved to Canada. 726 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: But uh, I mean, there's always you this you really 727 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, I make a joke about the dad jokes, 728 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: but we're the same age, and yet your references are 729 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: always way old. 730 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 3: I'm the youngest of four. I'm the youngest of four. 731 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 3: So like I love like, you know, eighties and early 732 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 3: nineties music. I was class of ninety six, but I 733 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 3: still like a lot because I was the guy who 734 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: my brother's seven years older than me. I was riding 735 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 3: around his Ford Ranger truck. Uh, you know, as a kid. 736 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 3: So that was the stuff that I that I dug. 737 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so that's why you're super into Randy Quaid and shot. 738 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 4: Big Big the Pop, Big little, big little House on 739 00:32:59,400 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 4: the Prairie. 740 00:32:59,800 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: Guy. 741 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 4: I mean, who doesn't love Perry Mason. 742 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, we're one year apart.
