It was like the other day. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.440 I walked in and I realized, Oh, I don't have 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.800 a code. I don't need one. Hey, I didn't need 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.479 this one. Yeah, it's too much. I'm glad you wore 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.200 it though, yes, yes, And so here we are. It 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.520 is well. The combine has been going on in Indianapolis 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.759 all week. But but as far today, but as far 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.120 as those of you at home who can watch what's 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.839 going on, we are t minus three and a half 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.200 hours in counting before NFL Network coverage begins of the 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:33.759 quarterbacks running forties. Quarterbacks is quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.080 end tight ends. So what have they been doing before? 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.920 Now you said it's been going on, but they've just 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.360 they've been measuring them physicals. Okay, winter reviews, which brings 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.280 up one of the notes. I had the guy, the 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:52.360 quarterback from is it Pitty Kenny Pikett, Yes, eight and 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.520 a half inch hands that Wow, that would be the 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.720 smallest on the NFL. He throws such a good ball. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.080 And so when I've heard that, I'm looking at my hand, 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.760 I go, no, wonder, I can't throw a football. I'm 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:10.280 not sure minor even seven inches? Right? I got an 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:15.480 excuse eight and a half inches. And so the smallest 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.320 the story I read, the smallest in the NFL right 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.720 now is eight and three quarters and it was Taysom Hill. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.360 And supposed we saw him against the Cowboys in December. Yes, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.919 we did. Of course he had an injured hand too, 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.880 and he still threw the ball against him. To all 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.079 the ladies out there, you know what they mean. I 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.880 think I wondered how long it's go? Four? Everson went 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:46.040 there glad, right, and so which, by the way, that's 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:52.280 not always true. Is here to tell you that? Yeah, yeah, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:58.320 speaking from so, I think I think it was Taysom Hill. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.160 It was one of the quarterbacks that had their hand 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.000 hands were small. They said they did exercises and they 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.680 got they stretched them out a quarter of watch. Come on, man, 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:18.919 it's like eight and a half to eight and three quarters. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.280 So so Picket said, yeah, I guess I got to 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.400 start doing some exercises hand. That's like what the ones 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.200 who they're not tall enough, Okay, you need to be 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.440 a certain height to be a quarterback. Whatever, they're there, Yeah, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.080 they're they're stretching themselves. So they had So that's the 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.720 main that's the biggest story coming out so far, right, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.600 because everything else has been interviews with the coaches, GMS 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.480 and and and then the biggest thing is is the 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.520 medical Yeah on everyone, right, and seeing that's what people 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.400 don't understand, they go, well, why why have the combine? 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.840 Some of the guys don't work out, You got tape 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.880 on them. They want to work out on their pro day. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.040 But the key thing at the combine is the physicals 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.760 that go on the measurements because they're legitimate, right, every 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.760 school measures their guys differently. And it's the interviews that 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.840 the teams can go through with the players, because at 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.960 the pro day they don't, you know, if there's thirty 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.640 two teams there, they don't get thirty two interviews. So 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.680 that this is this is that's what's most important. It's 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.040 not who can run a cone drill or anything like that. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.480 They can't do that in their pro day. Who are 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.080 you looking forward to? Like, if you're gonna say, I 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.520 want to look at this guy, I'm not sure I 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.039 know enough since it didn't start yet. But that's why 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.920 we got to green green notebook. And I have in 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.680 my big green notebook so far I got names. I 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.080 got names, and that's it. Well, who are you looking 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.520 forward to? Who? Yeah, I don't have anybody yet. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.559 no one has. You know, no one has top building. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.080 Now look out for this guy. As a matter of fact, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:03.799 like Kenny pick It uh is probably and there's Malik Willis, 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.120 the quarterback from Liberty. Uh. There's some other quarterbacks to 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:16.000 uh corral, Matt Carrall uh Um, Daniel Jeremiah, who is 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.599 well respected. Of course, used to be a scout in 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.000 the league, so he's done this for a living. Okay, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.560 and he's uh. I think he does a great job 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.880 for the NFL network. His pre Combine mock draft has 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:34.320 Kenny Pickett I think going number eighteen overall quarterback first 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:41.120 quarterback off. So that there's the and then he had 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.279 Willis going twentieth to Pittsburgh. Obviously Pittsburgh needs a quarterback. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.800 Most of the better quarterback I've already come out. So 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.200 contrast that to this past year. Yeah, and the quarterbacks 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.479 were these story and you've got teams that are trading 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.360 up and into the top five. San Francisco traded what 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.680 they did to get up to get trade lance and 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.479 you know, so last year was the big year for 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.520 and that that happens a lot when the quarterbacks quarter 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.320 There'll be a quarter quarterbacks who are top ten picks 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.919 one year and then the next year not so much. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.560 How many went in the top fifteen? Four? Last year? 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.400 Was it four or five? For mac Jones went number fifteen? 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.279 So what about what about the class of the quarterbacks 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.400 eighty three? There you go, my man? How many went 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.760 in the top fifteen then that would be interesting. Well, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.200 I'll have to go there was at least six or 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.960 seven I think went in the first round Yeah, that's 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.840 that was impressive. And let me brag on nineteen eighty one, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.080 even though I wasn't drafted me or Mike Downs, but 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:45.600 nineteen eighty one considered the best defensive class in the 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:50.800 history of the NFL, Hugh Greene and lt topping the list. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:57.080 Kenny Easley, h Ronnie lott Wright, Carlton Williamson, good guys, 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.479 Wright University of Missouri. That's right, all right? You asked 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.200 about quarterbacks. In nineteen eighty three, John Elway went number 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.719 one overall, and who is he? Who is he? Drafted 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:15.320 by Cockles Baltimore. Coles got Baltimore. Next quarterback taken was 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:21.160 number seven, Todd Blackledge to Kansas City and yep. And 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.520 then the next quarterback taken number fourteen overall out of 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.840 the University of Miami, Jim Kelly to Buffalo. So there's 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.040 three in the four of the top fourteen. Tony Easton 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.480 went fifteen to New England University of Illinois. That's right. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.320 So there's four in the top fifteen. And next quarterback 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.320 was Ken O'Brien to the Jets at twenty four. There's 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.520 five out of twenty in the first twenty four. Yeah, 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.320 there you go. Where's Ken O'Brien from. You'll never get it. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.760 You'll never ever ever ever get it. No way, Okay, 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.360 I won't try to California School. I thought it was 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.560 Sandy Go State. No cal Davis, Oh wow, cal Davis. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.520 So there's five in the first twenty four. And then 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:14.560 a guy went number twenty seven overall to Miami from 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:24.160 Pitts Busy Italian Dan Marino goes twenty seven overall to Miami, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.800 And so that's six in the first round, and I'm 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.240 looking to see the first second tapping it off with 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.559 Dan Marino. That's pretty good. Yeah, right. Guess who went 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.440 after Dan Marino? Twenty eighth overall, not a quarterback but 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:43.640 a cornerback twenty eight, twenty eighth overall, ninety three in 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.400 nineteen eighty three out of Texas A and m Kingsville 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.400 or Texas A. And I probably back there. Daryl Green. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.640 Daryl Green talked to him last night. Did you realize? Man? 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.520 We talked for like an hour? Can I say come? Yeah, 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.920 you can. He's just one of those times where you know, 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.360 you just I say pandemic, But you know, like I 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.360 did when we were really on lockdown, I would call 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.480 certain people that. I just know I hadn't called in 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.480 a while. I got the number. I was doing that. Yeah, 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.160 checking on people, man, my entertainment, me too, Me too, 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.880 got bored. I started making phone calls to people and 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.560 didn't hopefully they were born too. So now we just talked, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.040 he said, he asked how his cousin was doing Roy Green, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.160 which they're not cousins, but we just talked about so much. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.240 And you know, I have a foundation ethos education, and 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.400 we were talking about you know, it got kind of deep. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.960 We were talking about sports, h kids that having sports, 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.120 having suicide problems, and just so happened. He grew up 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.240 with two people that committed suicide. So kind of putting 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.360 a little damp on this, but that just happed to 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.040 me one of the things we talked about. And I'm 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.240 going to invite him onto my podcast because we have 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:57.520 a panel that discusses that. All right, Okay, So seven 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.840 Hall of Famers. In the first round of the nineteen 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:04.760 eight three draft, alway Eric Dickerson went number two to 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:10.160 the Rams, Jimbo Covert Chicago six pick offensive tackle. Bruce 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.040 Matthews twent to Houston at a usc offensive tackle. So 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.360 there's one two three. Four out of the top nine 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.880 picks were hall of famers. Jim Kelly at fourteen. There's 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.120 five out of the top four team we're hall of famers, 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.199 and then Marino and Darryl Green to close out the 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.280 first round. It's pretty good first round. Now, that's that's 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.760 the hell of a draft. Uh huh, Well that ain't 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.640 get the quarterbacks just hall of fame. That's not going 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.079 to happen this year. No, See, as you go, you're 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.200 such a down now. I think if you look at 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.760 when you you know, the projections or mock drafts, there's 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.840 a lot of offensive linemen in the top ten um, 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.040 which is not good for the Cowboys. But by the way, 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.520 I see there's a rating service that the Cowboys don't 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.719 need an offensive line. Oh wow, Okay, before we go there, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.240 before we go there, mickey my tongue since since Everson 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.240 brought it up, before you talk offensive line whatever you 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.920 top defensive Draft nineteen eighty one. Okay, three of the 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.840 top eight picks hall of famers from the on the 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.400 defensive side of the football. That would be Lawrence Taylor 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.960 number two overall, Kenny Easily number four, and Ronnie Lott 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.680 number eight. Sorry, I knew what he was talking about. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.760 So there are only three Hall of Famers in the 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.520 first round. Wow. But there were three more Hall of 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.720 Famers in the second round, all defensive players. Mike Singletary 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.160 number thirty eight to Chicago, Howie Long number forty eight 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.240 to Oakland, and Ricky Jackson fifty one to New Orleans. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.000 So there you go. There's six defensive Hall of Famers 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.560 in the first two roun. Guess whose name is not 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.280 mentioned on that who was one of the greatest college 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:51.720 football players to ever play? Everson Walls? Well, Hugh Green, 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.880 Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, I mean he was up. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.000 He was the first linebackground for the High So no 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.920 wonder get in the Hall of Fame, right, yeah? You 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.720 Green went number seven to Tampa Bay. Yeah all right, Mickey, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.640 go ahead. You're offensive line, offensive lines. I saw the 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:16.880 ratings service that supposedly grades every player every play, every game. Uh. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:22.160 They rank the offensive line offensive lines in the NFL 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:27.160 for the twenty twenty one season, number one, Your Dallas Cowboys. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:33.040 What do you think they watch? What? Come on, man, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.760 this is what service. It starts with a Homer. Homer service, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.400 that's where it starts. That's where Is this the one 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.880 that you're always on? Yeah?

Zeke did not a run and 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.080 the hole and Dad couldn't read defense because he must 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.440 have been holding the ball getting sacked all the time. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.560 I was like, I was flabbergasted. Wow. And I heard 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:18.040 someone say the other day the line must be doing well. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.080 My other conclusion was offensive lines in this league aren't 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:28.400 very good. Now. I'm not saying they were terrible, but 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.079 maybe in the top ten, but not number one. No, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.360 we're not that offensive line anymore. I mean we used 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.200 to be that line. And I believe they had Connor 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.240 Williams ranked either the second or ninth best guard in 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:48.640 the league. Wait that's wait so okay, I said second, 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.360 seventh or ninth somewhere in there. Right, So each team, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:58.560 each team's got two guards starting right, that's sixty four. Wow. 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.520 I guess they didn't dock him for penalties maybe, And 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.920 you know what, if you get away from the penalties, 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.320 he wasn't that bad. I mean, he's not perfect. That 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.960 sounds funny. It's like, you know, if it wasn't for 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:19.480 Niagara Falls, I could walk through Buffalo. Somebody signed him 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.560 in free agency. I bet he gets signed and probably 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.800 for some decent money. Yes, yeah, more than the Cowboys 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.000 will want to pay. Wow. So anyway, Yeah, that one 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.760 caught my eye and I was like, huh, you know, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.480 I gotta say, guys, I was doing pretty well this week. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.320 This past weekend, I had a couple of gigs where 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.680 I was able to make a little money. Sound a 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:48.480 few other graphs. And one place that I went was Batavia, 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.640 New York. I've heard of it. I've never heard of it. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.800 It's right in between Buffalo and Rochester. Yeah, okay. It 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.720 was so much snow on the ground it was ridiculous. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.280 But I met some of the nicest, coolest people out there, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.840 and they told me to tell you, guys high because 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.520 they listened to me. Why well, I didn't know anybody 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:16.280 listened to us. And the people in in uh Batavia 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.360 are listening to us, Like, man, you must be boring 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:29.840 right here. That's great nobody I know really, that's one Wow. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.800 Hello to the people in Batavia. I had several people 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.880 come up to me and say they love to hear 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.840 us all mixed up, you know, the the and not 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.760 to you know, pat ourselves on the back. But I 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.360 think it was the reception Star Sports Tour reception before 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.960 the playoff game San Francisco U the night before or 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.400 the day before. Um, I had a bunch of people 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.360 come up and say thank you, but well, you know, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.080 we get there all the time when we when we 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.840 do a little bit a little gig. Yeah, so that 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.360 not that that after there was a bunch of guys 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:08.880 they were probably all our age too. Well these guys weren't. Yeah, okay, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:14.040 these are younger people. I'd say around fifty much younger, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.800 much younger enough. So anyway, go back to the quarterback thing, 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:25.119 because this this just kind of hit me. Um, Cowboys, 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.200 we sit here and talk about the problems in free agency, 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.200 and I was thinking, well, at least they've got a quarterback. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.920 And I was looking at teams that have quarterback problems, 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.560 like they don't know maybe who the starter is going 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:50.480 to be. Carolina, they're not sure, Denver has no idea. Detroit, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Detroit, Detroit, Yeah, 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.520 what what what What do you mean is that anything new? 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.360 On the first round? He took a team to the 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.000 Super Bowl? Mickey, you think they're sinking his teeth into him? 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.840 Then gonna get rid of him next year? Well, they 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.480 might they find some if they find a replacement that 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.920 you need. Take that one off the list. Okay, Indianapolis, 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:15.399 there's another one. They're no, they're right. I'm with it 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.080 because I watched Hard Knocks. That was brutal. It was 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.679 brutal watching those last two episodes and the Saints. What 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:25.919 if Jamis isn't totally healthy every time he looked up, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:31.800 he's hurt. Now, how about this one? Houston and I 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.439 looked up to Shaun Watson's contract for the twenty twenty 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:44.120 two season, thirty five million dollars base salary. It's already guaranteed. 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:52.119 So if they get rid of him before June first, 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:58.439 his dead money fifty one point two billion dollars. Wow, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:03.040 and that means cut or trade. Now you know they 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.879 can make him a post June one cut. So what's 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.840 year some of it? Next year? What does he count 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:16.359 against the cap as a suspended player? What's his capt number? 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.879 What's his captain But he hasn't been suspected. What is 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.440 his guy, I didn't write down that. Wait, Bill, this 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.359 thing about what he just said. He has not been 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.520 suspended and we have not seen him all year long. 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.200 All sridiculous. So he counts against the cap whatever his 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.280 cap number. They have to if they want to get 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.600 ease that they got a restructure or do something with 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.880 the contract. And if he's on the roster March twentieth, 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.959 permission to restructure, right, Bill, No, they can just do 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.960 they just damn money, okay, yeah, yeah, no, And so 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:52.280 he will accept that money. Yeah. And if he's on 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:59.520 the roster like Amari Cooper on March twentieth, his twenty million, uh, 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.679 his base salary of twenty million is guaranteed for twenty 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.719 twenty three, and they have to pay him his roster 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:13.040 bonus of seventeen million. This is if they don't do anything. Yeah, 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.600 if he's on the team, yeah, okay, So, which is 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.280 why Houston has to go the economical route at quarterback 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.720 with a young quarterback, because they're already paying a quarterback 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.320 that kind of money, right, and if they have that 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.040 and if he's not playing, yeah with Mills, so who 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.120 by the way, if he was in this draft might 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.359 be the top quarterback taking in the draft because he 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.399 was an early third round pick last year. Well, if 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.359 it's not just a bunch of bs the coach is 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.720 talking about, this is going to be my guy. Oh 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.760 and I forgot one team Washington. M and Ron Rivera 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:50.440 this week says he feels like they need a veteran quarterback. Yeah. Now, 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.840 if Garoppolo he's got he had the shoulder surgery and 0:19:55.359 --> 0:20:00.080 if he and I don't know how that affects his 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:05.280 trade status whatever, but Garoppolo seems like he would be 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.520 a good fit in Washington. Yeah. Good defense. They've been 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.800 able to somewhat run the football and they don't have 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.680 to over expose him if he can stay healthy. Right, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:24.920 and he's San Francisco. His guarantees have expired, Okay, so 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.560 he's not. They don't owe anything if they let him go. 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.920 And so, yeah, and so, which is another reason why 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.840 they went ahead and drafted their quarterback of the future 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.280 last year, thinking young player Trey Lance. He'll red shirt 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.080 and then they can get Garoppolo off the books this 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.280 year or he would have been really expensive if they 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.679 got rid of him this last year. Yeah, yeah, this 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:50.000 past season and then the other one I noticed is 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:54.800 his name keeps bouncing around. Russell Wilson in Seattle his 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.800 captain this year thirty seven million, but if they move 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:03.640 on from him, twenty six million dead, so everybody goes 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:11.280 one more. The Cardinals, Oh yeah, right, now he would 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:16.920 be movable. Kyler Murray, Uh yeah, because he's he's basically 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.040 in the last year of his contract if they have 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.120 if they don't pick up the fifty year option, right, 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.159 which is why he's doing what he's doing exactly. You 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:30.960 know my note in mix shots today on Dallas Cowboys 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.680 dot Com. You know that his agent released this long 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:37.320 That's what I was talking about. He wants to be here, 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.960 he needs to develop. And I said, right, and the 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:47.240 and the GM basically, uh, what was his comment? His GM. 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:51.119 The GM's comment was something like pretty simple. It was simple. 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.960 It's like, yeah, we have to work, you know, And 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.720 basically it was about money, right, he wants a new 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.320 country and and so I wrote, I said, so this 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.400 kind of reminds me of uh was it Rod Tidwell 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:09.080 in in in the movie Jerry McGuire. Oh yeah, right, 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.840 show me the money. That's what he might as well. 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.000 Just he could have saved that long tweet he had 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.159 out there and just put the stay on the team. 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:28.080 Who's that till now? Bidwell did Wells? That's good? Do 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.880 they stay alone them? They stay on the Michael Bidwells 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:32.879 still still because they were known at one point is 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:36.600 one of the cheapest organizations. And they just extended Kingsbury 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:41.479 in the G seven. Yea, So take that all right? 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:45.960 So does Kyler Murray? Does his style fit with every 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:51.840 NFL offense? I would say no, especially what narrows the 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.760 field down down the shot. They have surrounded him with 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.359 some good people. I mean, I don't know what the 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.080 excuses are. The second half of that season. Well, I 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.920 mean Hopkins got hurt at Hopkins yeah yeah, but even 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.440 with even with Hopkins, if I'm not mistaken, they had 0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.840 their faults in the latter part of the season. Well, 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:11.560 he was gone when they started. Was that when it happened? Yeah? 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.800 It was halfway through the season, wasn't it when he 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.520 got hurt because they started off ten and two? Yeah? 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.800 Well then and then Murray was out and McCoy started 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.119 three games I feel right, like three games in mid season, 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:26.679 and so um and he came back and they weren't 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.399 quite the he weren't the same and he was just 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:33.879 making bad decisions. But yeah, because I know. But the 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.120 GM said, yeah, this is just business, and it's like, yeah, 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.040 like it's about money because he doesn't want him. He 0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:41.960 doesn't you know, if they don't pick up that fifth 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.480 year option and he's playing the last year of his 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.480 contract and he don't want to take that chance, well 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.320 then Russell can leave. They can just switch. Russell can 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:52.600 come to Arizona and he can go up to Seattle, 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.639 right just and that would be hand off kind of cool. 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.320 It really wouldn't be kind of cool. Everybody wants, right. 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:04.840 I can't imagine Seattle, especially within the division. Yeah, oh 0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.639 my good. If we just came up with something that's drama, 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:11.600 that's drama that that there would bring the NFL probably 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:16.200 a billion. Okay, So the perspective of the two fan bases, 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:20.600 how much would Arizona like Russell Wilson over Kyler Murray. 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.560 First of all, Russell would be closer to Los Angeles 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:26.880 and he can be he and his wife can not 0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:30.600 how much Russell would like The Cardinal fans like it. 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:33.200 Oh oh, the Cardinal fans would love it, don't you think? 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:36.840 And then how about Seahawk fans Kyler Murray over Russell 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.439 was just as excited, but right, just as excited. The 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.119 grass is always greener on the other side. But if 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:44.800 you trade, they would both be both fan based, would 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:48.159 be extremely If you trade for him, you better have 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.359 a buttload of salary cap space because that's going to 0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:55.840 count the salary. And he's only got after this coming season. 0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.080 He only has one more year on his contract, So 0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:01.240 Russell is more U it's safer to take as far 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.840 as financially well less if a financial risk for us anybody, 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:06.840 if I mean, if you look at it, you know, 0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.040 thirty seven million dollars cap hit. Who is he on 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:13.320 this contract? He's got this year and next year, which 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.240 is why Kyler has two if they picked up the option. Yeah, 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.359 so it's a match, I'm telling you man. We just 0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.919 we just made a deal, right, a deal, all right? 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:27.800 And one more Okay? Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay. Yeah, he 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.119 says he stayed. His base salary this year is twenty 0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:36.600 six point four million, and if he's not there and 0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:40.600
