A couple of 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.640 days I was going to this, had me left. I 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.720 saw a white walker standing out in front of the store. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.440 Like I'm telling you like now it was and it 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.600 was dusty, you know, it was like dusty where it 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.720 flies around. And now it was like, all right, this this, 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.600 this is real snow. Because you know, I did live 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:13.240 in Minnesota. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.640 So you know, I'm saying, Minnesota, you've seen, you. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.240 Seen minutes thirty minutes. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.720 It don't take but sixty second to learn where you shouldn't. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.280 Be it in the winter time. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:25.880 So I had a buddy who lived in Minnesota for 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:27.959 a little bit. Yeah, and he said, if you didn't 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.640 have the automatic car starter on your car and you 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.319 walk out and it's like negative forty, like you just die. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.600 He didn't tell you the truth that we don't. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.200 You can't park outside like every garage, every house, no 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.640 matter how ugly the house. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.240 Is, it's heated garage. 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.800 Because if my pickup truck outside not listening to the 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.200 Minnesota guys, tell me, don't leave you the here guyside. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.120 I went outside, tried to open it, froze shut. I 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.960 can't pour water on it because it'll crack the winders. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.440 It's too cold, so you have to really wait on 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.320 it to throw out and they could take days. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.640 I also heard that the uh it can get so 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.200 cold they're the anti freeze or the no no, the 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.000 electric starter sometimes doesn't work so you can't even start 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.240 the car it's so coold. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.040 Well, if the MISSISISPPI really is freezing, so it's not 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.440 moving anything else free. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.880 Okay, So I mean so basically, you mean tell me schools. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.760 Schools are not going to be in there. They are, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.079 They're gonna close down stores because. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.920 I mean like that. But that's the crazy about Minnesota 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:22.440 is they're. 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.360 Just why fully nothing. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.000 We still go out downtown like they did a good 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.000 job of connecting all the buildings downtown so when it's 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.000 blizzard outside you can just walk all hold downtown and. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.519 Just be cool and one woman stuff. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.240 So no, they are fully functional, very Canadian like in 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.560 that way. Snow does not bother minneapolies between cities at all. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.840 And now you guys know that about Minnesota.

But and then there's also 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.600 the ability to free some of that up with restructures 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.599 and cutting the veteran PA players. So let's look at 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.200 the notable unrestricted free agents for this team. There are 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.880 a lot of them, so I'm just gonna hit kind 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.360 of some highlights. Okay, you got Curtis Samuel, you got 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:28.560 Cam Croll, Kenda Fuller, Jacoby Brissett, and you've got Cornelius, Lucas, Khalek, Hudson, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.560 Cody Barton, and then there was one more. I wanted 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.680 to hit all the defensive ends our free agents, except 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:34.200 for the young. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.560 Guys w James hype and use it. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.400 So obviously there are some good football players on this list, 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.640 guys that I think are important to re sign because 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.440 you need to add depth. Right, is there anybody you're like, Man, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.280 Obviously we're not talking money on this show, but you're 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.359 just saying it'd be important if we got this piece 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.200 back or a guy to to kind of mimic this piece. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:55.720 Cam Currel. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.120 Cam Crollroll is the initial piece I see here did 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.480 to be negotiations, Like, this is a real contract you're 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.000 about to do. He's never made a ton of money 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.599 in this league. This is gonna be his second contract. 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.640 He's been playing at the Pro Bowl level for a 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.839 couple of years. He's the guy that you had to 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.720 really negotiate with on here. So Cam Curl would be 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:16.120 that guy. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.880 Yeah, and I agree, Cam Crow. But also, just just 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.320 for Devil's advocate argument's sake, Kyle Dugger from New England 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.240 is also a free agent, say too. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.279 Also just with Cam Curll being up knowing that, yeah, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.479 he's a guy that we basically homegrown. But if you 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.640 have another guy out there, yes, a free agent like 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.599 Cam that's sitting a little higher, would you take a 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.760 shot at that guy and you know, cut loose with 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:44.800 your homegrown guy? 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.400 Like how does that you know? 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.479 And again we have to also acknowledge that this is 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.280 a really hard conversation to have because we don't know 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.760 who the defensive coordinators. Yeah, like we're just trying to 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.560 identify talent, and so just talent talent. Cam might really 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.120 fit a certain defensive scheme at a high level, not 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.560 fit another one. And then the defensive coordinator that come is, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.320 you know, comes in has a conversation with Adam Peters 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.440 and says, you know, I don't really see the value here, 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.200 and then they go to different directions. So that's why 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.080 this conversation is so hard. But I think to Fred's point. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.560 Yeah right, no, he's that guy. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.880 Cam's a very talented football player. I think the one 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.240 thing that kind of falls a little bit short is, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.599 you know, he tackles always in the right spot. Never 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.640 been a guy that makes a ton of interception son 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.279 a big place. Ye yeah, And that's the thing. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.520 And when you bring up a Cole Dugger, a guy 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.200 that goes out there and make plays an anti one 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.479 in Winfield. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.880 Junior, you love you. He's also a free agent. 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.360 Yeah, I'm just saying, so you just see it. Who's 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:34.400 stealing is higher. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.120 And when we're talking about the safety market, it doesn't 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.080 vary much. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.599 Like a like a wide receiver. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.200 A ConA market the fifth corner in the number one corner, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.640 I'm not making exactly the same, but I think in 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.799 the safety position it varies. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.000 I only buy a couple of dollars, so I have 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:49.720 to say. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.960 I want to keep a homegrown guy like Cam Curroll, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.960 but it'll be hard for me not wanting to put 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.040 anto One Winfield Junior right beside him. 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.760 Yeah, and I think Antoine Winfield Junior is interesting too 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.520 because he did play that nickel roll in college. She'll 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.680 give you some flexibility and again, a defensive coordinator. I 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.320 don't know who it's going to be, obviously, but they 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.680 come in here they say that flexibility is more important, 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.880 or we really want Cam to be our buffalo nickel linebacker, 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.240 and Cam would fit that role great. He did a 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:15.600 great job with that early in his career. So that's 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.160 an interesting one. Kendall Fuller is interesting to me too, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.160 a guy that you know. Last year, I was kind 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.160 of ready to say, hey, it's ready to move on 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.120 from him. But he had an excellent year this year, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.440 played really good football, and I kind of feel like, 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.600 if if the numbers right, you know, why not, why 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.400 not bring it? Bring the old veteran back and stuff 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:30.760 he's got. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:32.400 I mean, I mean he's one of those guys. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.400 I mean when he's a veteran and you know the 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.520 number probably not going to be too crazy like him, 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.880 so you always want to keep that piece around. He 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.800 was solid last year, and you can look at you 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.320 having young talent. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.840 And sometime a young talent don't pan. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.760 Out as planned as yeah, as planned, or as soon 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:49.760 as you want it to. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:50.760 Uh. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.640 He's one of those guys I would say, I will 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.880 hope that at least he comes back to two of 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.840 the other guys, if you know, worst case, he. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:58.920 A universal piece. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.520 He one of these guys that make every roster on 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.080 all thirty two teams on his league. He's gonna to 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.720 make it with his character, his talent. So he's one 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.840 of those guys you won't in the locker room he 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.880 wanted to bits, I'd be like, like, you say, listen, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.400 negotiate a way for you to stay here. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.760 Let's find a way for you to stay here. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.240 And I can't promise you to start and drab, but 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.560 I promise you will play. But I need you to 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:20.880 be more than just a play. I need you to 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.400 be a teacher. I need you to be an anchor. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.720 Yeah. Yeah, So those are interesting, and obviously I think 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.280 it's important to point out that there is no middle 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.440 linebacker at the moment on this team, right there's no 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.439 middle linebacker. There's really no edge depth. So you look 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.720 at a guy like Cody Barton, who I thought played 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.760 better near the end of the maybe you bring him 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.240 back because you know Jami and Davis I think had 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.400 a good year, but coming off the injury where he's at. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.520 And then obviously there's guys like Casey Twohill and James 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.920 Smith Williams. And I think that's again a position where 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.640 like the GM isn't a really UH is in a 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.920 really interesting spot with those guys specifically, What are your 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:53.360 thoughts on that. 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.400 I just think you got to have depth at the 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.760 pass rush, especially when you don't have your anchor guys. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.760 But like you said, you got a clear dick right there. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:01.960 And I think two. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.080 Heel is a guy that I look in and say, hey, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.600 I might want to bring this guy back, James Smith 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.120 william I might want to, like I want. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:09.640 To have some a death piece. 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.360 Yeah, I got to have some guys on this team 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.080 if he bought it, like he want of those guys 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.080 that didn't play a lot because he was hurt this year, 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.280 but he can play inside. He can play outside. Like 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.960 you said, we probably got three D line for d 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.439 sign for the whole year. Yeah, So now I need 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.719 I need regulatory depth. And some of these guys I 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.000 want to keep because they were part of this team 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:29.760 and they do know E werebody. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.040 In this life. And I think the other reason, just 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.960 to point this out real quick, is we talk about 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.440 Casey and James, is the edge rusher depth in this 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.280 year's draft class is not great, But there are a 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.240 couple of free agents that are really high naming and 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:42.600 I just wanted to go through a couple of those 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.280 real quick. You got Josh Allen, Josh, He's he's been fantastic. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.040 Danelle Hunter is another guy that's sent a great job. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.360 Bryce Huff, Brian Burns, Brian Burns. Yes, those are the guys, 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.480 and obviously Chase Young's another guy. So there are some 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.240 pieces in free agency that you could look to acquire 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.320 again to supplement some of the lack of talent in 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.560 the draft to edge. Right, But I think that's something 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.560 that needs to be considered here, Right. Do we need 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.080 to get those guys like Casey and James back just 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.480 as a safety net? Yeah, in case we can't get 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.880 a big free agent and the team can't get a 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.680 free agent. Okay, and there's not a ton of he's 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.600 Isn't he a defensive. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.320 Tactic I've been saying, but he plays, Yeah, he can. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.880 Tell a bit of both. But again, and then scheme 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.320 dependent too, like one of these guys. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.640 I was trying to say, you know all about scheme 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.600 lives too, because we don't know going forward what we're 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.360 going to be defensive. Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.840 So hopefully we don't change too much because then you 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.800 have the guys here that's our staples, like true Hill 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.320 and James Hyphen. Then you can say, okay, we at 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.400 least worst case in there, we can bring those guys. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.280 But but you will hopefully hope that we. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:41.640 Can land one of these guys out here in for 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.200 agency because we saw what things was like when we 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.760 didn't have those I guess you can say stars. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:47.959 At that position. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.080 And we also was afoord three defense base wise, and 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.959 now what do we flip to a three four? Now 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.840 we don't need as many defensive line we need more linebackers. 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.400 And this win I think the college Hudson's in world 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.560 and the rest of those guys come into the folk. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.600 Then you look at a guy like Brian Burns from 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.120 Carolina and say, you know what, you could play rushian 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:07.800 four three. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.839 Three four, probably as better as a fourth three. 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.400 Yeah, you bring the guy in the Niahna. He's older, but. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:14.960 You know what I'm saying, like you's got some ability. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.400 He got you, like he can rush the pass. So yeah, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.320 most definitely this is what you're gonna have to look at. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.000 And again you would prioritize that because there's not you know, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.040 there's a lot too from UCLA. There's the two kids from. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:26.640 Chop Chop Robinson. 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.719 I get a friend first round guy, but a small, undersized. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.480 Guy Dallas from Alabama Dallas. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.160 And then the other guy's name is escaping me at 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.280 the moment from Alabama. Both both those those are kind 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.360 of the four top edge rushers in the draft, and 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.600 I have a feeling they're going to go quick, quickly, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.720 and then we go early and then they're not all 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.600 global scheme fits. I think it's the other thing that's 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.760 tough about that group, right, So I think I think 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.080 you want to see the Tannis point. You want to 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.240 make sure you have a stud and it looks like 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.040 the best way to get that taken care of is 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.719 free through free agency. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.280 Right, Josh Hadden to be the guy that I covet like, 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.560 you always got to have a guy that you cover. Yeah, 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.240 he would be out of this group of past rushers. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.920 I love Brian Burns. I think he can make plays, 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.720 but Josh Allen, I think can dictate game. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.360 Definitely grew up a lot this year. And I think, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.280 you know, looking at Peters and the things he prioritized 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.559 in San Francisco. Yeah, obviously paying joe and Bosa, paying 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.760 Joey Bosa, making sure they always have talent across that 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.920 defensive line is a big thing, just about where you 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.200 find it. Another reason we talked about Kendall Fuller, and 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.680 I defer to Fred here on this is not a 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.480 uber deep cornerback draft. It's not, so you got to 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.680 make sure you get the pieces where you can get them. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.920 I think that's why those free agent names are so 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.120 so valuable because it's not a deep free agent class 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.760 and there's not a ton of guys in the draft, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.520 So you got to make sure you have your pieces 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.920 when the chair settle. You know what I'm saying, Tanna, the. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.040 Jerry's believe you, and then we have so many other 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.679 spot bots feel yeah. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:47.360 I mean, I mean you. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.600 Can look at this whole sheet and be like, who, 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.360 we need a guy from every position? 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.400 I go get these one guy for your position. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:55.960 You need you well, I mean you have to make 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.480 your team up like this is. I remember coming into 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.400 the league, and the league was one of those things 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.240 at the time we came in in two thousand and 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.640 one where the veterans filled the team. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.079 So free agency was always bigger than the draft. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.520 You're gonna draft that first round of because he's going 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:11.839 to be somebody that's gonna help us. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.520 They don't guarantee he gonna start. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.280 You're not saying that he's gonna play that now. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.960 Now now you're talking about teen years later, first round 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.040 as a playing now, second round as I playing now, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.320 third round, even seventh rounds. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:25.640 It's a different league. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.440 So now you know, teams who need those first round 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.480 or that kind of caliber of young player, they go 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.400 get him in a draft. 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.480 But I think we need we both. 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.320 We got to build our team up with some veterans 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:39.839 and then go out there and pick pick one in 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:40.200 the drafts. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.240 I mean, all teams need free agency. It's just about 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.000 the level of what you're going to employ that and 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.040 I'm just we're just identifying areas. I think that defensive 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.160 line not great in the draft. For agents, there are 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.800 some names right corner not great in the draft free agency. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.160 You gotta make a move, right it's I think that's 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.880 where you look. And that's why Kendall Fuller might be 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.040 back with the team. You know, some people say Curtis 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.480 Samuel is even what are you gonna do a receiver? 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.960 This is one of the at least in the top 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.280 very deep fifteen receivers. They're all sick. Like it was. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.079 I was watching film getting ready for the Senior Bowl 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.800 and I was like, no way, this kid is the 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.080 seventh guy, and you go watch it the seventh guy guy, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.120 Yes he is. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.080 It's like twenty of them football year round. Yeah, seven 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.200 on seven is at an all time high. You're gonna 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.680 see way more receivers than you see anything else, like twenty. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:25.400 Deep in wide receiver. 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.640 And I'm not one of them guys that like one 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.880 thing about Curtis Samney. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.360 I think he had a hell of a year. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.320 But the only reason I can't bring him back because 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.640 of him gonna not because of the money. Because him. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.560 Johann and Terror are too similar, Like I need I 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.440 need the six four guy to catch bad pass. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.440 I need to him to the group. I need the 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.240 burner need to add to. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.800 This also scheme dependent to scheme dependent. But I think 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.600 when you look at like look at the playoff game 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.440 last week, right, there was a ton of guys, you know, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.680 look at Detroit, different skill sets, look at Houston, different 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.080 skill sets, Bay. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.520 Mike, Mike Evans, and then they got the short guy, 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:03.680 like you got the head. 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.080 Diversity in it room, Like that's the only way to 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.600 make us as dbs respect y'all because if y'all got 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.480 three guys and they all like Tanna, my playing for 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.880 Tanna works on him and works on him. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.000 Also, Yeah, And I think that that's what you saw 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.280 is that you know, obviously they have Detroit specifically, they 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:20.960 got a bunch of studs. You know, you were you 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.920 were talking about this before. We're talking about the Detroit game. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.560 Amara Saint Brown is the guy you expect, but the 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.440 guy early is Reynolds making the plays. And then eventually 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.520 Amanas Saint Brown comes and then Williams, the kid from Alabama, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.640 Jameson william makes it right and it all kind of 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.200 shows up when you can maximize those playmakers. That's super important. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.760 So that's something I don't think you need to hit 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.280 on offensive lines really deep this year. So I think 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.760 Cornelia Slucas is excellent. I think if you can resign him, 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.160 you probably try to. But again, there's a lot of 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.720 pieces in the draft this year, so kind of a fun, 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.040 uh fun offseason program, I guess, you know, kind of 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.760 coupling the free agency with the draft. Now to me 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.760
