00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. I'm your host, Colleen Wolf, and I'm

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: joined by a room that has a couple of heroes

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: in it, Mark Sessler and sixty cent Rosenthal. What's up?

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: It's actually Si? I like sixty Yeah, all right. I

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: thought it's got like fourteen nicknames at this stage, and

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: I've always been a big nickname guy. Is that right, Rosie?

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: You do have a lot. Well. Dan is off on

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: vacation fighting the good fight against Little C. I don't

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: know if we've heard anything from him, and it's cold

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: or not. If he's he sent a message over text

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago to Gregg and West and he

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: seems to be doing well. That's all I'll say. That's right, Well,

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: that's good. I'm glad Wes is not with us today. Um,

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: but we're going to power through and uh, you know,

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: I keep I keep texting him and offering to bring

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: over milkshakes because, like, mostly because I really want a

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: milkshake too. He hasn't taken me up on that, but

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: I feel like probably after the show, I'm just going

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: to bring him a milkshake anyway, so we'll see how

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: that was like that plan or just like buy a

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: milkshake for yourself and leave one for him outside his

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: place on the doorstep. So it's like all nasty when alright,

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: So um uh, it's the last weekend of June, everybody,

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: this is so awesome. Finally we're gonna get to July

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: four and then we'll start maybe having a little bit

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: of news to get to actually not much. It is

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: a good time though, to mention, you know, because of

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: U four, we're off official Roger Goodell holidays. The next

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday, we might drop a little bit of

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: a surprise uh episode, and you know in the meantime,

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I guess it's no longer surprise, but just one show

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: next week for those who are planning one new fresh

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: show on Thursday. Okay, something to look forward to there.

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: We do have some news items that we're going to

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: get through. But do you have any do you have

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: any big time fourth of July? No, I got a car.

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I got a new car. I traded in my car. Yeah,

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: and we got a Jeep and it's a stick shift.

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: So I've been re teaching myself how to drive stick

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles. I am incredibly impressed. I know, but

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: we don't really drive that much, so it's like it's

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: not like I'm sitting in that traffic I shift car

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Terrible. Yeah, there was like a couple

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: of miscommunications yesterday getting on the freeway in terms of gears,

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: But you know, we're good now. I think we're on

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: the same be a little more encouraging about the multi

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: thousand dollar dollar purchase she just made it. It's a

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: least okay, well, it's still I'm sure more than a

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, so it's a multi thousand sally. What's up,

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: my man? Not much? That is a bold strategy callag.

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I know I stalled in the parking lot earlier. It's

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: fine traffic. I'm sure it is super fun. Yeah, I mean,

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: so far, so good. I don't even really drive that much.

56
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I put like twelve thousand miles on the car that

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: I had for three years, so it's that's pretty low. Yeah,

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm usually just in an uber somewhere. I'm I I

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: put about the same on mine because I could walk

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: to my house from from NFL network. But if I

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: if someone asked me to drive a stick shift, even

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: from my driveway to the road, it would be resulting accident,

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: no idea how to drive this? Really, how can you

64
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: call yourself a grown man? YEA, well, you know, I

65
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: don't know the answer. I mean, that's ridiculous. Sound something

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: that he does that I didn't do, and now he

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: goes in that direction. But I just didn't learn on one.

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: I didn't learn on one, and so and then it

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: got to the age where at one point, I remember

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: I had some girlfriend and I was trying to drive

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: around like an abandoned school parking lot to learn stick shift,

72
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and like got about eight minutes in that I hate.

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't even like this really so abandoned fun outside

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: the parking lot. But yeah, I also just didn't own

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: cars for like seven or eight years in a row,

76
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: so it's like I'm not getting back in with a

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: stick shift at that point. That's yeah, that's actually a

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: good thing. The first day we got it, I said

79
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: to John before we went and did any like test drives,

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to do it. I

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: don't want to like hop in and try and drive

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: stick after like not having done it for like ten

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: fifteen years or whatever it is in Santa Monica with

84
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: like the salesman in the backseat judging, And so we

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: got the car and he drove home, and then we

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: got to Santa Monica and I'm like, all right, here

87
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: we go. I'm gonna try it, and like I wasn't

88
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: probably in the best frame of mind to get in

89
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the car. Yes, of course, I mean that's as you will. Well,

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: that's partly why she no longer. She barely drives at all,

91
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: because exactly it did not go well. And hey, listen,

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm a safe driver now. Um, but yeah, the after

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, we're in a good spot. I think,

94
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: me in the car now. So hopefully, yeah, hopefully it'll

95
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: it'll survive. July fourth weekend. All right, let's do some news.

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Linebacker Zach Or's retirement was a brief one. Five months

97
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: after announcing he would be playing no more football. He's back.

98
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: So he was diagnosed with a spine and neck condition

99
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: where his C one vertebrae was not fully formed. It

100
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: was something that he was born with, and I guess

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: the doctor he had talked to had said that this

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: would lead to a better chance of paralysis or possibly

103
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: death when he was playing just because of the condition.

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: So he retired in January, and apparently being away from

105
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: the game only made him want to be back more.

106
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: He got some more opinions, and now he's a free

107
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: agent since the Ravens didn't tender him in March. Greg,

108
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: it's very strange. I mean, I've never heard of such

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: a thing happening. And my immediate reaction was, did the

110
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Ravens screw this up? Like if it was anyone, if

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the Browns had done this, for instance, wouldn't everyone be

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 1: making fun of them? Sure? Because but but with Azzi

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: knews and it's like measure okay, But I I looked

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: into it. I asked around a little bit. It's a

115
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: confusing situation. It sounds like there's some hesitation from the

116
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Ravens whether they would medically clear him. Now reading between

117
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: the lines that they were aware of this conversation with

118
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: zach Or over the last few weeks, and on some level,

119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it was partly their decision, uh not to

120
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: jump into it. So it's confusing. They probably wish they'd

121
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: put that tender on him because or put him on

122
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: the retired list, because it wouldn't have hurt, but he

123
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: still has to get cleared by teams. Just because he

124
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: wants to play it again doesn't mean he's going to

125
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: play again. There are multiple teams interested, but there was

126
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: this immediate, uh concerned Well, wait, is this a way

127
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: for let's say you're stuck on a crappy team, you retire,

128
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: and then you retire and you're a free agent. It's

129
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: only because the Ravens didn't right next time. If if

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: any time this happened again, they the team will put

131
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: him on the retired list. They wouldn't have hurt them

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: at all to do so, and they would retain his

133
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: rights and in theory they could trade him right now.

134
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Because that Carl was pretty good. Yeah, I mean he

135
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: played really well. And it's interesting because I was like, well, what, like,

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: how serious is this? Because when he retired I remember

137
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: it was like a very somber thing where he talked

138
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: about how this was it for him, and the doctors

139
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that he was still playing with it. So

140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: I actually talked to a spine specialist. Yes, uh huh,

141
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: and oh, maybe let's do it. So what he said

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: was there's no real medical data on the matter, but

143
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: an unfused C one does not really carry any more

144
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: risk of paralysis than affused SEE one. So he said,

145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: really that just because there's not a lot of cases

146
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: of it, it's super super rare. But zach Or had

147
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: said that there was a college football player who had

148
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: the same condition and he played and was totally fine.

149
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: It was his former bail or quarterback. I guess, wait,

150
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: did you just yelp doctors to try to think No,

151
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: I know an orthopedic surgeon, and then he put me

152
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: in u in touch with a spine specialist who wanted

153
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: to talk more about it at four o'clock this morning,

154
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: a Pacific time, and I was like, I think this

155
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: is good enough. So well he was like because he's

156
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: on the East coast, and he was like, I can

157
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: explain it. Well, like, I can can explain it a

158
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: little bit better to you, the reason why there's not

159
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: any more or less risk with a fused or unfused disk.

160
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: And it would be good if I shake you from

161
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: sleep at four am over continue the alarm. I like

162
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: set my alarm too. I was like, well, maybe maybe

163
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: i'll like do it because it's seven o'clock there. For yeah,

164
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: I can do math seven o'clock on the East Coast,

165
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: So I guess, like before surgery, yeah, I was like,

166
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: that's not happening. But you have to be a pretty

167
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: big time athlete to be the most athletic or in

168
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: the family. And when he pasked Connor, that's when we

169
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: knew Zach was legit. When he when he picked off

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. People forget that that moment in weeks at Steen,

171
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: I thought that was the moment that the Ravens were

172
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna win the division last year. I mean, he could

173
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: totally he met with the Lions first, he would totally

174
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: change that team. A weakness at linebacker would suddenly be

175
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: a strength with with him and Jared Davis both together. Yeah.

176
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: I think I've read about eight different teams that contacted him,

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: but it feels like the Lions would be a good

178
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: fit considering their linebackers were. I mean that group was

179
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: really weak last year. I think that they added about

180
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: three linebackers in the off season that could be starters.

181
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with that. Let's move on

182
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys front seven. We have some news on

183
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: both ends here. So first up, David Irving, the Cowboys

184
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: will be without him for the first four games. It's

185
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: official for violating the p D policy. We first talked

186
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: about it in May, but it was pending appeal. The

187
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: appeal was denied, so now it's official. This is quite

188
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: a trend for the Cowboys too. This is the fourth

189
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: straight year now that they're going to be starting the

190
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: season without a defensive starter. Mark It's I was just

191
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: about to say the same thing that this field is

192
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: like a disturbing year after years scenario and I irving

193
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: this podcast loved him last year and he really was

194
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: one of their most effective pass rushers. It puts a

195
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Taco Charlton to step up from

196
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: deuce right away. And you know our our concerned with

197
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the Dallas defense. I mean, it kind of is at

198
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: every level. It's especially in the secondary. We've talked about

199
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: that on multiple network hits, I feel like twenty two

200
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: times by the time we got to this point, but

201
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: it's it's almost at every level at this point, and

202
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: there's just more pressure on the offense to do what

203
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: they successfully did last year, which is hold onto the

204
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: ball for the second most amount of time of any

205
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: team in the league and score points on almost every drive,

206
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: he could move inside it out. I mean he was

207
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: not only are they missing him, I mean people forget

208
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: about Randy Gregory. That was, you know, their next great

209
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: pass rushure. I don't know if we'll ever see him

210
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: again at all. I mean, you don't have a great

211
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: pass rush. I don't really have any almost natural pass

212
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: rushers unless Tackle Charlton comes out, you know, swing and

213
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is finely solid, and you don't have a

214
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: great secondary. It's a bad combination. Yeah, I mean one

215
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: will will definitely expose the other for sure. But I

216
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: think the thing with David Irving is he was banged

217
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: because it was an over the counter substance that are

218
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: used in an attempt to endorse the product. I feel

219
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: like there's a major so I read that too, and

220
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: that through me that like at some point, like there

221
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: were not enough boxes checked here and he is essentially

222
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: endorsing a product that got kicked and kim kicked out

223
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: of the league. That's awful. I feel like in some

224
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: way the league needs to better protect the players from

225
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: something like this, And I don't know, I don't know

226
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: what that is, but there's so many like supplements and

227
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: things that you can the people are using now, and

228
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if the list that they give the

229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: players is that definitive. Well, they're gonna have a tough

230
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: time finding another player to endorse them. At this point,

231
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: I say, it's a tough run for that company. Yeah,

232
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: it's just also coming from like sort, there's always there's

233
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: always these reasons. Who knows, I don't. I don't necessarily

234
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: believe you know that they over the counter supplement decisions

235
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: or explanations whenever they come out. It comes out every time.

236
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: And trying to pay attention to what you were saying.

237
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: But Sully came in the room and he was about

238
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: six inches from your neck. He was dropping the means

239
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: read for a little later in the show. Yeah, wow,

240
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: I've never done this. There seems to be a lot

241
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: of instructions. Great okay um. On a positive note though,

242
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, Jalen Smith has apparently one healthy and

243
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: bawling out. That's according to cornerback Byron Jones, who spoke

244
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: glowingly of him on a Total Access here him in

245
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton that he was talking about So Jalen Smith,

246
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: as everybody knows, he missed his rookie season because of

247
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: that a c L and m c L tear and

248
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: the nerves that weren't firing drop foot, all of that

249
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: um and this is after people were saying that he

250
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: might not even ever be the player that he once was.

251
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: He looks like he's going to be a good asset

252
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: to the team. The players are saying it, and Jerry

253
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: Jones seems like he's pretty sold on a too. I mean,

254
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a player that's it's great because he himself,

255
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith talked with extreme confidence a couple of weeks

256
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: previous to this story coming out, and they did go

257
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: through ot as they went through mini camp, and there

258
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: were also reports that you could occasionally see something of

259
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: a limp when he wasn't on the play itself, kind

260
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: of coming back to the to the defensive huddle. But

261
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: it's it's I guess the arrows pointing up. It's certainly

262
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: someone that you need to see it happening in games

263
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys before you fully feel confident about this.

264
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: But it's great story. Or playing football again, I mean

265
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: they're kind of playing football. They're not tackling, they're in shorts.

266
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: It's different now by all accounts like in this was

267
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: his reputation at Notre Dame. Like he's really intelligent player,

268
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: kind of a natural leader, you know, Sean Lee talked

269
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: about sort of he was like asking questions and meeting

270
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: rooms last year, like really intelligent questions, which made Sean

271
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Lee study things. Where so it seems like a guy

272
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: everyone would root for and if if he's physically all right,

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: that he'll be a big time help. But it's this

274
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: time of year. I'm not getting carried away. It's June everybody.

275
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: It's cool for him, though, I mean not to rain

276
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: down on his parade. It has been a long process

277
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: to get to that point where you thought you might

278
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: be a top five NFL pick, and to have that

279
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: sort of injury in a bowl game. I mean that

280
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: was now what sixteen eighteen months ago. That's a long

281
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: process to get back out there doing what you love again.

282
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: And if you're Jerry Jones, this is a second round pick.

283
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: You've had, you had second round. You've had some risky picks,

284
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: and you've taken some players now with Jalen Smith's but

285
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: with other guys with character then yeah, and it's like

286
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: on offense, all these things have worked out on defense.

287
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: A lot of this stuff's up in the air. That's

288
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: got to be so frustrating for him to just like

289
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: having to talk about it all the time and just

290
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: like read about it all of these stories. So hopefully

291
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: he can get back out there and help them. That

292
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: defense is is kind of en shambles a little greater press.

293
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: You know that, Colleen, what you don't want to read

294
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: your own press? You know? Never? You know that very well?

295
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: All right, how about this? This is such a crazy

296
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: story Clinton portis uh Sports Illustrated has an insane deep

297
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: dive right now on like the darkest corners of Clinton

298
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Porter's life. He thought seriously about murdering the investors who

299
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: drove him into bankruptcy. He lost about eleven million dollars

300
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: with these guys. And in the story he talks about

301
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: sitting outside an office building in Washington waiting to confront

302
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: someone and saying it wasn't about beating them up, it

303
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: was to kill I mean, this is this is a crazy,

304
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: crazy story. This was money for you know, he said,

305
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: his retirement taking care of his mom and his kids.

306
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: But it came right after the whole Bernie made Off thing,

307
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Right after Bernie made off was arrested. Uh this they

308
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: started their own Ponti scheme and it involved a ton

309
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: of layers NFL and I think NBA two. There was also,

310
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, he admitted a terrible uh tendency to spend

311
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: his own money before that. I mean Santana Moss's teammate

312
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: talked about that. So there was like a lot of

313
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: layers to this Clinton Portis thing that was sad, but

314
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: him talking about that, he was serious. That he was

315
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: sitting outside waiting, you know, to potentially murder this person.

316
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: And he had a friend I think that had some

317
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: family therapy background that ended up like talking him out

318
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: of this. But if circumstances had a different he's it's

319
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: it's crazy because you think of Clinton ports is kind

320
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: of like the happy clown, funny guy, like that was

321
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: his his thing as a as a player, and to

322
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: see this after his career is you know, it's sad.

323
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: It happens. You read these stories occasionally where these players,

324
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: if they've been wiser not with their money, they do

325
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: have these money managers and a couple of them occasionally

326
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: get totally fleeced out of crazy amounts of cash. And

327
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: imagine that though like the desperation you would feel. I

328
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: don't think murder would be the answer, but like simply

329
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: watching someone going like six years in jail, that doesn't

330
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: feel like the answer either. When you you've saved this

331
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: money up for your family and your children. It's I

332
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think these players some of the

333
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: post career stuff is tricky. Yeah, I mean just just

334
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: thinking about being driven to that point where you're actually

335
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: sitting you have driven, You've gotten in your car and

336
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: you drive, You've you've gone to the place where this

337
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: person works, and you're sitting outside waiting for them with

338
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: thoughts of murdering them, like the place that you have

339
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: to be for that is just insane. And his former

340
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: managers didn't even you know, part the reason he was

341
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: partly so frustrated is didn't no jail time, like they

342
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: can't financial advisors anymore, but no jail time, no prosecution,

343
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: zero punishment. They took the money. I was on the

344
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: East coast last week and found out around like ten

345
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: at night that I had lost my credit card. And

346
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: so immediately I'm thinking someone you know, a it probably

347
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: an irresponsible move by me, left it somewhere in which

348
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: that's true, and then someone is now draining my family's

349
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: bank account. And I started to get up step and

350
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: I realized I only have about six hundred dollars in there,

351
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: so there's not how much damage can they possibly do?

352
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Where was the card? Never found? It? Had to cancel it? Oh, no,

353
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: did anybody put any charges on it? Well, I mean

354
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: there were charges that I assumed were mine. It was

355
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: a hazy I was on vacation. Things were very hazy.

356
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: Not not by someone else as far as I could tell.

357
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: So I once got a call. I had a corporate

358
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: card at my old job at NBC. I know they

359
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: don't even do that at the NFL, And I once

360
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: got a call for you, at least for me. For me,

361
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: once got a call that said, did you just spend

362
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand dollars at at jfk uh like like the

363
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: terminal three. I was like, no, that wasn't me. They're like, okay, yeah,

364
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: someone somebody clean house of duty free. Basically I think

365
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: they did some an airplane. They basically did something where

366
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: they went crazy at duty free stuff and then they

367
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: returned the money to get cash or what are you buying?

368
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: How much stuff are you buying? A duty free. You

369
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: would think that, yeah, you would like the right side

370
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: of the shop. You would think around the you know,

371
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: five hundred bottle of Johnny Walker black or wow wow. Yeah.

372
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I I remember I was going through one of my

373
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: credit card statements one time and there were all of

374
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: these charges at Abercrombie and Fitch. And this was like

375
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: two years ago, and I was like Abercrombie and Fish like,

376
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever bought anything, like yes, I

377
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, this is still an active chain. Yeah,

378
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: so it pending since from the mall. It's weird though,

379
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: like how they can get your information, Like there was

380
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: somebody in the store using my card, so I don't know,

381
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: idea they somehow it contacted the credit card company and

382
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: got a copy of it. The very dumbest thing I

383
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: did recently with this group was we were at a

384
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: um like a podcast meet up in San Francisco before

385
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty and someone asked to sign like a

386
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: her hat and it was a it was a football.

387
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: I signed it with my social Security number. I thought.

388
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: Then I thought later like wait, why on earth? Really? Yeah,

389
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: why would you do that? I don't know. Yeah, it's

390
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: very cly a trusting fan. Nothing's come of it as

391
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: far as right she It's not like she was asking

392
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: for anyone's social security. He was just like and he

393
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: he signed his name. I believe it's just like everyone

394
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: else you know, gives the full name. He just goes

395
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: like Mark, you know, m A R. But then he

396
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: puts his social security very this took place, this part.

397
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: This happened at a bar, so that could explain part

398
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: of the thinking. Well, I'm glad that another thing has

399
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: come of it. Hopefully that fan will never sell it

400
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: on eBay or something like. All right, um, oh, one

401
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: last story I saw this. I didn't really get to

402
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: dive into it, but Mark, I know that you're sort

403
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: of an expert on the subject. Russell Wilson is on

404
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 1: a new diet and it's showing it. Uh it is.

405
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of you know, it's it's it's the very

406
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: end of June and I was searching everywhere for some

407
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: story to write, just to prove that I had actually

408
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: been at work today. Yeah, and I thought it would

409
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: just be another one of these things where he's you know,

410
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: cut down on his the food intake and he's changing

411
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: his exercise. But it's this guy that's right here in

412
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: Santa Monica, and I believe it's Philip either Gogglia or Golia.

413
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: But he is the uh, same trainer that worked with

414
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt, the actor who remember in like Parks and Wreck.

415
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: He was kind of like lovably a big, little pudgy,

416
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: but in a great way. But then he by the

417
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: time he was in Guardians to the Galaxy, he was

418
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: like ripped like some sort of and I don't mean

419
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: like pudgy in a bad way. I feel like people

420
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: are going to come after me for that. Like he

421
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: just like wasn't like shredded up. No, he was just

422
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: like a dude basically. Side note though, Zach Dresser, one

423
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: of the old podcast producers, he yeah, exactly. One of

424
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: the many uh was that he's at BuzzFeed now and

425
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: they did a did a whole video and like that

426
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: was over five months and he got with the same

427
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: dude that guys like it's pretty close and Dressler lost

428
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: like fifty. He looks great, he's looks he looks absolutely great.

429
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: So basically like Russell Wilson was, he was he felt

430
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: he wanted to trim down and basically, like you know,

431
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: Eddie ankle and the issues last year, and he wanted

432
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: to change his kind of body makeup for this season,

433
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: and so this guy put him on a daily calorie

434
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: count that went from previously like hundred, which is kind

435
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: of what like a lot of athletes would eat and

436
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: even regular people, to forty eight hundred per day on

437
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: a nine meal plan that includes like it's almost like

438
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: what you think Hobbits would eat in Lord of the

439
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: multiple breakfasts and lunches, but tons of snacks. Oh my god,

440
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: I want to go on this diet. It's you. You

441
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: should take a look at it. It was you just

442
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: need to have the time to work out, like three

443
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: hours a day. Can you do that? College? Yeah, that's

444
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: the thing. It's definitely for It's definitely for like the

445
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: athlete who is constantly like body crafting all day long

446
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: and like has somewhere right, that's true, yeah, or an actor,

447
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: same deal, but it works. It works. That's kind of

448
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: what it's like at the Wolf Gonzo House. Well, like Socraft,

449

00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: gained weight on this diet. I cut bread and like

460
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: grains out a diet. No, no, not not eating any

461
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: carbs really at all, Like no carbs and no sweets

462
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: or desserts, and I've gained weight. So I'm going to

463
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: go back to just like drinking and eating recklessly because

464
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: that seems to really work. That was working, well yeah, yeah,

465
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: Or you could do this forty eight hundred calorie thing.

466
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: Wilson has lost eleven pounds and went from sixteen body fat.

467
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: It's only it's only about a mile from our from

468
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: where we live. I should we go? Should we go

469
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: together and just check it out there? Wait? So I'm

470
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: sure it's affordable to hundred calories a day? Are you

471
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: just like eating all day, Like, well, there's a pre breakfast,

472
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: to breakfast, to snack, than a lunch, than a second lunch,

473
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: then a snack and a snack than what's this is

474
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: it does the food like, does it give you what

475
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: the food is? I think it would be shaped for you.

476
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: It would not. You would probably not be eating Russell

477
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: Wilson's exactly shaped for for your knee. It's so not

478
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe more bread, more beer, more, yeah, more

479
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: of everything, just like I just want to go on

480
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: a carb diet. We'll see how that goes. He's like,

481
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: look into it, Like, give me some food that will

482
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: make my Instagram account even cheesy. Greg not buying into this,

483
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: but it's the results, you know. He They showed a

484
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: picture of him from like O t A or from minicamp.

485
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: Looks felt wow. Good for him. All right, we'll see

486
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: if it actually changes anything on the field. That's that'd

487
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: be awesome. So I got a text from Sessler a

488
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: couple of hours ago, and he said, for the show today,

489
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: I had wicked bad insomnia last night and wrote down

490
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: something that was keeping me up in the middle of

491
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: the night, A theory I was I was bothering Greg

492
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: with with the I on, I am earlier than I

493
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I honestly came to work with like twenty three hours

494
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: of twenty three minutes of sleeping me And how are

495
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: you like up and running not talking? I'm not doing good,

496
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: but I was writing down something. What was keeping you up? Though?

497
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: I feel like usually there's something something's on your mind

498
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: can open up to. We won't tell anybody generally, like

499
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: guys stress, dad's stress like work life stuff. But you know, guys,

500
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: stress sounds like something that no one could fully criticize.

501
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: Half the population does not claim to know what I'm

502
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: talking about, so I can. But a this was on myself,

503
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: and I wrote this down on you know, just typing,

504
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: and I want you just to be open minded to

505
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: this because this is where I was. Is there multiple pages? No,

506
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: it's one page, he says. Do do we really know

507
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: that someone like George Washington ever existed? Think about this?

508
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: During July four we were told that he was born

509
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: in seventeen thirty two and died in seventeen nine. This

510
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: is the story passed down to us. But it feels

511
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: equally possible that the entire idea of George Washington is

512
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: a complete creation it's logical and accepted for someone to argue, well,

513
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: of course he exists, because that's what was shoved into

514
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: our heads from the earliest days. And the people who

515
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: taught us this narrative were taught at the same thing

516
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: and the same song and dance when they were children.

517
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: And it's comfortable to up this. And people get very

518
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: angry if you suggest otherwise, meaning it's all going according

519
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: to plan. People get angry. Have you been I'm just thinking, well, okay,

520
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: this is the textas not. I don't think I fully

521
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: flushed this out. But honestly, when you think about George Washington,

522
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: it's just these paintings of him crossing the river and

523
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: surprising that there's like a lot of history books and

524
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: stuff like, but what's that? What is all that? It's

525
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: just been passed about the ones that were written back then?

526
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: What about I guess we're assuming that was you have

527
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: to believe that. My reporter question would be, then, at

528
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: what point how did this come about? How did the

529
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: myth of George Washington start? Because at some point it

530
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: has to come, you know, has to begin. I that

531
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: i'd agree with you, I don't have the facts on

532
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: when I think that would have happened. But I do

533
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: sometimes think that all of this, like deep American myth,

534
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: is just complete fabrication. There's there's a if you just

535
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: think about it, not say yes or no, that it

536
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: could be all just a story that we were told

537
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: and we came here at some other time and in

538
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: more in a different type of way. Well would the

539
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: Wooden Teething story. I mean to me, you're you're going

540
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 1: beyond George Washington. You're essentially questioning all of recorded human history,

541
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: all of them, at least of them. Could you trust

542
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: anything real, at least all of American I'm not saying

543
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: that I'm questioning. I'm just saying that I was thinking, like,

544
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: why do we automatically buy that George Washington isn't a

545
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: very neat creation. I think the good point. I think,

546
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: even if even if I won't go as far to

547
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: say that, you know, he didn't exist or these things

548
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: didn't happen, I think your point still raises. It raises

549
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: good questions of how how much of it is true

550
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: and what's changed. I mean, because the Zero History, I mean,

551
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: what's the most popular book, and you know, the history

552
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: of the world, the Bible, I mean that that was

553
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: something that was just kind of talked about it down

554
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: for ages. That was oral history. So someone wrote it.

555
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: This feels like the podcast. I just don't buy the

556
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 1: George Washington like little wigs. I think it just popped

557
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: into my head that it's just seems something about it

558
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: seems a little patent on the nose. Save it for

559
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: the Heat and Light podcast. Great episode this week. Everyone

560
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: should check out episode four. Well, they're all, they're all.

561
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: What's on episode for We discussed mail fraud. One of

562
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: the two of us had been charge class story. If

563
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: you mark it's one of my favorite story stories. So

564
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: check it out. That's great. Um, sorry to totally stop

565
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: the show with that. Now that was I'm thinking about

566
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: like history books, I'm thinking about wigs, like I'm thinking

567
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: how false teeth. I wasn't thinking that's already there's a lot.

568
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, all it takes is to read three history

569
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: books on the same person and they're vastly different. I

570
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: mean that alone will get you thinking very concerning, you

571
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,719

00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, mind troubled, Like what did I say?

611
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: And so I went over and he was in the

612
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: middle of another meeting and he just like reaches behind

613
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: him and grabs this box and says that he didn't

614
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: want to email me and ask what size I was,

615
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: so I could just pick out of whatever was in

616
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: the box, So he didn't want to avoid the awkwardness

617
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: of an elder male superior handing you a box of

618
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: female underwear. My god, So I I grabbed a pair

619
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: of underwear out and then I was like, all right,

620
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna walk across like this campus to

621
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: wherever I'm going with a pair of underwear in my hand. Yeah,

622
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I hope, I hope I

623
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: don't drop these. I hope I don't run into anybody

624
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: with these, like I need to hide these by Basically

625
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: I got them safely to my car and uh yeah,

626
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: so that happened. Thumbs up there, But we got something

627
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: more important. Weather Underground website indicates the temperature and I

628
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: ran today hit a d nine point two degrees, tied

629
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: for the highest recorded temperature. Are you just trying to

630
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: get on the board of breaking news. I mean, that's

631
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: that's relevant to some people. You need you need to

632
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: come up and I just broke news that the president

633
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: that George Washington just not exists. Potentially. I think that's

634
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: has a little bit more attached to just trying to

635
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: figure out a way to move on from the end,

636
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: right that was good getting their money worth talk a

637
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: little making the leap. Oh wait, do you want to

638
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: do tag talk? I forgot about t do a little

639
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: tag talk? Yeah, Thursday, tag talk. Um okay, So the

640
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: deadline was moved up, so it's now or moved back?

641
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah back because back two days. It's now July sevent

642
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: for teams to sign France Ehies tag players. We have

643
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: a couple still out there Redskins. They are in talks

644
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins. I and Rappaport said that things are,

645
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: you know, more positive now between both sides. Uh. And

646
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: I think that Derek Carr signing his deal will obviously

647
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: just help things with him. Charlie Castlely was on our air.

648
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: He's saying he didn't think this Cousin's deal could happen.

649
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see anyway. That's that's my that's and I

650
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: there's no reason to doubt Charlie. I I don't know.

651
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: I feel like if they I still think the way

652
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: that the last Redskins season ended is been under played.

653
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: That two of their last three games, really three of

654
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: their last five, which they lost, Cousins played poorly. They

655
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: didn't score, they scored one touchdown and two of you know,

656
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: combined in week fifteen, weeks seventeen, and they've always been hesitant.

657
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just feel like they're fine

658
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: going with this year to year thing. I'm with you.

659
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Chefter also can still called it a long shot,

660
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: and I just it there would have been a way

661
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: to somehow get this done at this point. I think

662
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: if they if they really mutually wanted to do it,

663
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: and I just I don't see what happening. Yeah, it's

664
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: it'll probably happen to night. Now that we've said that,

665
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna that's that's definitely gonna happen. We

666
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: put that out in the universe, UM and then Levian

667
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: Bell and the Steelers. That's sort of The talks are

668
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: going slow, but both sides expect to push before UM

669
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: before the deadline to get the deal done, which makes sense.

670
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: It looks like his groin injury is okay after that

671
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: basketball little basketball video the hoops bid that he posted,

672
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: so that would make sense. If I mean, I don't

673
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: know what they're waiting for. They need to just sign him.

674
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I think he's just a uniquely difficult player to sign

675
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: because the running back market is so low, but he's

676
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: so valuable. But he also has an injury history and

677
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: a suspension history, and the and the tag number here's

678
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: where they were cousins get some problems to tag numbers

679
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: so high it's over twelve million for Leviandell that it's like, well,

680
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: he's not gonna sign it unless he's making on average

681
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars over the next two years, because that's

682
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: what he would get with two more tags. And so

683
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen, and we think they're

684
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: ready to do it. I don't think there's much more

685
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: to say on that one. I just you know, uh,

686
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: And what about Tremaine Johnson. That's he agreed to play

687
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: under the tag for the second straight year. And everything

688
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: that we're hearing is nothing is going to get done.

689
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: Can you believe that this guy is going to potentially

690
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: make thirty one million dollars over to the Rams? Just

691
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: don't seem bought? And well I think they find is

692
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: he a scheme fit? Wait? Phillips like they have the

693
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: thing though, like Aaron Donald's potential new deal is kind

694
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: of tied into it loosely where you could help the

695
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: cap if you maybe signed Johnson to a deal that

696
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: helped the cap this year or next. But they don't.

697
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: You don't get the feeling that they really want him

698
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: around long term. I mean, RAMS fans can tell me differently,

699
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: but did did they feel like they got fifteen million

700
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: dollars worth that at Tremaine Johnson last year? I think

701
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: I think generous Jenkins leaving created some sort of schism

702
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: within that RAMS team of who wanted to keep him

703
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: who didn't, and that, you know, you gotta look at

704
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: it that as a possible regret letting him go. Yeah,

705
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: he slipped a little last year. He had a good season.

706
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: That whole defense fell apart last year too. I mean,

707
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: but it's they've got other they've got other priorities. Well

708
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: that was tag Talk, brought to you by me Andy's.

709
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,959
Speaker 1: They got a sponsored segment to apparently that's what Sally said.

710
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: Um okay, now let's get to making the leap. I

711
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: feel like Dan, this is on purpose. Dan isn't here

712
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: to do making moa like is this was this a

713
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: strategic thing? Now, we just didn't know what to talk about.

714
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: Was searching for a topic. But it's a good time

715
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: to do this topic. I like this one I thought this,

716
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: this is great. I have a couple, we all have

717
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: a couple. Let's go around and talk about who we

718
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: think is going to make the leap once again this year. Mark,

719
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: well already I'll go first. But this ties into a

720
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: series that that Greg is working on four NFL dot

721
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: Com by Away. Just thought i'd throw that out there,

722
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: um and thankful because I'm not working on it this year.

723
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: Once was forty was once forty players. Now it's just

724
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: five and actually I'm mostly doing like groups teams or

725
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: groups it up. Yeah, that's good. If I had to

726
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: do one. I one player that I love watching last

727
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: year was Jamison Crowder, and I with making the leap

728
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: to one of the reasons that I always got tricky

729
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: for me because it's like, what is making the leap?

730
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder you could argue could have been a pro

731
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: bowler last year for a special team skills and what

732
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: he can do a wide receiver. Didn't he leave the

733
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: team in touchdown? He did? Any? I mean That's the

734
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: thing is I think though you can talk about making

735
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: the leap doing even more now the different types of leaps,

736
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: there's different types of LEAs one he can make a

737
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: leap to a whole other leaves. He's never made the

738
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, So it's like, I mean not that that means,

739
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: that's a whole different conversation, but you have to yards.

740
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: Let's not get care exactly was exactly. I do think

741
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: that he showed at times to be in so incredibly

742
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: game changing and dangerous for that all fence. And now

743
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: the question is they're putting him outside. He was a

744
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: slot guy and he's gonna have to face different types

745
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: of coverage. Um, you got Terrell prior to obviously take

746
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: people away from you, but you have no DeShawn Jackson,

747
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: Pere Garson's gone. They're gonna still throw the ball a

748
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: ton and I think he has a chance. If he

749
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: shows that he can match up with number two sometimes

750
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: number one coverage and succeed, it could be a really

751
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: special player for the Redskins. So it's a leap candidate

752
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: in my mind. And if he made a leap, I

753
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: mean that, I think we're talking year and I don't

754
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: think that's crazy because you think, what is Kirk Cousins

755
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: good at. It's it's not going deep on the edges

756
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: of the field. I know he had better success last

757
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: year throwing vertically, but it's it's throwing two guys in

758
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: the slot and you've got Crowder and I know a

759
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: play outside some too, but also be in the slide.

760
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: You got Crowder and Jordan Read both in the slot.

761
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: Maybe they're next to each other, maybe they're on opposite sides.

762
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: That's a lot to handle. And Cousins his best strength

763
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: is picking out the open receiver and just getting to

764
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: a and letting them make place after the catching crowd

765
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: is awesome. Yeah, especially with DeShawn Gone and Pierre Garson. Yeah,

766
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: that opens it up for Crowder. Maybe it'll be a

767
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: career year for him. All right, Greg, I mean, I

768
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: like Mark used to get very stressed. I feel about

769
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: like everything. You didn't up all night last night washing.

770
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: I think it was about to bring up a sore subject,

771
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: but I think it was Toby Gerhardt back into that.

772
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: That really that really hurt you because you you put

773
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: a lot into him, a lot of research, watched him

774
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: quite a bit, You wrote a very compelling piece. You

775
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: really put your name out there. Uh, and then you

776
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: heard a lot about it throughout the season. And I

777
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: think that and in seasons afterwards and emotionally scarred you. Yeah,

778
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: it was. It was this this, this effort was ultimately

779
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: not worth it on any level. Greg, Greg Greg Greg's

780
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: out for Mark today. I think he was. I think

781
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: that was that was very fair, very fair. Have you

782
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: hit on any of your making the leaps, Greg, I

783
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: get like one out of four right or whatever? I mean,

784
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like, yes, I jinx is ridiculous

785
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: compared to what we have done with some crazy stuff

786
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: fit plenty. But it's a little secret I learned um

787
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: when I was writing Fantasy football full time. It's a

788
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: lot easier. This was that roadal world. It's a lot

789
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: easier you write. If you're the guy who writes the

790
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: busts list, you're gonna look like a genius. You're gonna

791
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,479
Speaker 1: get most of those right, because in the end most

792
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: people write up being disappointing. If you're the guy who

793
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: writes the sleepers list, it's hard to get those right.

794
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: And you know, not that many people really uh overachieve,

795
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: and that's that's harder to predict. So that's why, Well, yeah,

796
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: in our next and next week, we have you know,

797
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: dirt nap teart players ready to take a total dirt

798
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: nap Alright, So for my making the leap my first one,

799
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: which I really believe in. Uh, it's a team and

800
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: a uniform that Toby Garhart wants or and it's a

801
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: team that's snickerd us before and then almost every year

802
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: it's like, now I'm taking the you know, turn doing

803
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offseason hype piece. But here's what I'm hyping.

804
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: Just their defense. I I don't know, who knows if

805
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: Blake Portles of the offense will be any good. They

806
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: might be a mess, doesn't matter. The Jaguars defense is different,

807
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: I think this year because never before in the past

808
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: have they had Jalen Ramsey entering his second year. Now,

809
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: Ramsey's a guy who Mark loved early last season and

810
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: he was he was ahead of the curve because Ramsey

811
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: was great and feisty early, but he was just good late.

812
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he was arguably the best cornerback in the

813
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: league late in the season. Was talking with Steve Smith

814
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: that that was early and he was great, Like he

815
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: has the I've watched it, you know, getting ready to

816
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: write this piece this week, and he just has this

817
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: competitive arrogance that's like amazing to watch. There was one

818
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: play where I swear he baited Marcus Mariotta into throwing

819
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: across his body so he could try to pick it off.

820
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: He didn't pick it off, but he knocked the ball

821
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: down almost a pick, and you can almost see him

822
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: back and off for a little bit. And then when

823
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: he sees the receiver break or the quarterback up, you

824
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: know Matt Castle and another play in that in that

825
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: same game where he got a pick, the guy just

826
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: breaks and he is big. I mean he can he

827
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: can cover to Marius Thomas. He shut to Mary's Thomas

828
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: down one game. He's a very physical receiver, but he's

829
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: fluid enough where I watched him really shut down t

830
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: Y Hilton for a large portion of that game and

831
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: then Hilton got his and it was competitive back and forth.

832
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: But he can cover all sorts of different types of receivers.

833
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: He can lay people out, which not a lot of

834
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: cornerbacks love to do. And so he is, to me

835
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: the difference of this Jaguars defense than before. Then suddenly, okay,

836
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: a j Bouyer comes in. It's not as big of

837
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: a risk. I don't think to give him all that

838
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: money because he's paired with such a good player in

839
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. Now Collas Campbell comes in, he's up there

840
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: in age on the defensive line, but that's not as

841
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: big a risk because they're so deep on the defensive line.

842
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: Malik Jackson played incredible down the stretch last season. They

843
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: have done the fault Fowler they have in gock Way. Uh.

844
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: The guy who really stuck out for me watching this

845
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: was this guy, Abrey Jones. If you didn't know Abrey Jones,

846
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just saying and I'll stop my

847
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: right now. But if you didn't know him, if you

848
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about them and just watch that last

849
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: month of their play, you would say he might be

850
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: the best player on their defense. He might be a

851
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: pro bowler. Him and Ramsey are a kind of the

852
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: two key guys you have Kelvin Smith. There's a lot

853
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: of fun to watch. I just think their defense is

854
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: loaded and they can't screw it up, and that the

855
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: defense will be really good. Time have you spent watching

856
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: JAG's film lately? I mean I've watched a bunch this week.

857
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: I can I can feel it. I can sense that. Yeah,

858
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: you know a little yeah, a little we got time

859
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: in the oboe, A little coaches film a little game

860
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: pass game passed by the way, you know, nice remodeling.

861
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: I like what they've done. I'm starting to come around

862
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: on this. Locked out of my account right now. I'm

863
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: with you, Greg really struggle because of how burned I

864
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: feel by the Jags. But but part of it is

865
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: I maybe maybe never been in on them totally. I

866
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: used to love Bardles, but not like as a team.

867
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: It's like a fun thing to do every offseason. It's

868
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: just like talk about how great the Jags could be.

869
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: But you can't let like that. That's just an emotional

870
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: response what I'm feeling like logically, like they're they have

871
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: at a pieces. I think if you kind of believe

872
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: in the switch, the coaching switch to which which there's

873
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: something around that, right, I'm with you. I mean, I

874
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: think the defense has all the pieces. If they if

875
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: it's if they somehow, if it doesn't materialize and they

876
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: go three and thirteen again, I'm shipping this team to

877
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: Mars like they are leaving the Earth. Yeah. The difference

878
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: is now, I think like Kelvin Smith really stood out.

879
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: He's in his third season, so I think he's he's matured,

880
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: and Fowler and gock Way they're getting better. Malik Jackson

881
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: took him a little while to get, you know, up

882
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: to speed, but he was great. So it just feels

883
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: like a nice team where there's some veterans, there's some youth. Yeah,

884
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: and Dante Fowler too. I mean that first season it

885
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: was completely derailed with the injury. I mean, he's a

886
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: first round pick. Last year he had a shoulder issue

887
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: that was bothering him, and I think he was bench

888
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: midway through the season a couple of times. Because of

889
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: his play. I think that this will be the year

890
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: for him if he as long as he can stay healthy.

891
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean that that'll that'll be great. If the offense

892
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: is lousy, but I don't think the defense will be

893
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: the reason that they're badness. I think they'll be a

894
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: top ten, top five type of defense. I like that.

895
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: How about this one. I'm kind of playing the odds

896
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: here because at some point the starter just has to

897
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: he's so old and he's so good. But I'm just

898
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna keep making this by making the leave candidate every

899
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: year because at some point it's going to hit Hunter Henry.

900
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: How many more years is Antonio Gates going to be

901
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: in there? He's been like the number one guy for

902
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: a decade. Him and Philip Rivers have this amazing connection.

903
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: But I think Hunter Henry last year he led the

904
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: team and receiving touchdowns. He was tied with Michael Thomas

905
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: for the most touchdowns out of rookies. He really doesn't

906
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: make any drops. He runs good routes. He was awesome

907
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: in the red zone last year. Look, it's a second

908
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: round pick, and I think at some point Antonio Gates

909
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: is going to his age is going to catch up

910
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: with him and we're going to see that on the field.

911
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: So I think that Hunter Henry might get some more

912
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: snaps this year, and they're going to try and get

913
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: him those reps to groom him. Because I wouldn't be

914
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: surprised if this is Antonio Gates last season. How how

915
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: old does Antonio Gates think? If Antonio Gates had caught

916
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: this touchdown that I witnessed uh during the Chargers last

917
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: game in San Diego where they tried to get him

918
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,959
Speaker 1: the all time record for tight ends, UH might be gone.

919
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: It was broken up. Who knows, maybe he wouldn't have

920
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: retired because he clearly loves the game. He's thirty seven.

921
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: I think that was the reason to definitely come back,

922
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: and he's talked about kind of seating ground to Henry,

923
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: that's a great sign that he said, Look, I don't

924
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: need to be out there every single snap, but it

925
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: is amazing the chemistry that him and Philip Rivers have.

926
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: They've played together for so long. It's almost I would

927
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: see those two guys like finishing each other sentences. I

928
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: think with Henry, I mean, the tight end position is

929
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: one that year one is really tough, and even like Bronx,

930
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: year one stats were not crazy and Henry shows, you know,

931
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: statistically as much promise as really any of these guys,

932
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: and he really grew last season. So that's a very

933
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: logical candidate to have a much bigger role this year.

934
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: I thought he was awesome. I mean, it's really pretty good.

935
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: Right in some games, their their whole you know, their

936
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: whole skill position group. Is that is I didn't you know, Colleen,

937
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: you didn't know this, but that is that is one

938
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: of my my making the things. So I'm not just

939
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: limited to Henry, but it's kind of that whole young

940
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: group together. You can throw Keenan Allen in there, you

941
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: can throw Melvin Gordon in there, you can throw Tyrrell Williams.

942
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: Just like this, this young little charge. This Charger's core

943
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: certainly has been been injured in the offseason, so we'll

944
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: see if he like gets up to speed. But that's

945
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: like a fun young group. You like the Chargers, you

946
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: like the Jags. I feel like that saying the Jags

947
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: as a whole team, just the defense half of it.

948
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, should we do with speed? Round? Should

949
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: do one more? Sure, let's go around. Do you have another?

950
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: The second one I picked was Noah Spence for the

951
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers. Um, I had to do an article

952
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: of trying to find for like first time Pro bowlers

953
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: for each team, and the Bucks have so many Pro

954
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: bowlers actually, so I went and picked Spence. But there's

955
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: more to it than that, Like his own teammates are

956
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was my only argument. It

957
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: would be rather weak. But Gerald McCoy's he's the guy

958
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: he picked as a breakout year with Spence, and Robert

959
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: Ayers said the same thing. He called him like a

960
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: fifteen plus SAT guy in this defense this season, And

961
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: you know he had some I watched a little bit

962
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: of him for this piece and just showed some flashes.

963
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: I think that like, along with you know, Kwan Alexander.

964
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent on that defense that down

965
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: the stretch. The Bucks they were overall not a great unit,

966
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: but they had some games where they were really stinging

967
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: down the stretch and I think Spence will I'll put

968
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll put that one on the line there, Yeah, and pops,

969
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: he pops off the screen, just his speed and his

970
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: quickness and cut ten towns. Like they said, how hard

971
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: he's working in the office. I like players that like

972
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: he's he's like in the film room all the time.

973
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: They say they cannot get him out of the facility.

974
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: So these things sometimes with the DNA of a good

975
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: year tight end in defensive ender, I think are two

976
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 1: of the hardest positions to make an impact as a rookie.

977
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: So if you can make an impact like Henry did,

978
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: like uh, like Spence did. Yeah, and he was playing

979
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: with torn laborum, which he was able to do all

980
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: of that and not be one. So when he's one hundred,

981
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to be so much better. This

982
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: might be the first time we're talking Bucks without the kicker.

983
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: Kicker bad, Well, you just did mention the kicker anymore? Yeah, well,

984
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: let's hear it. Let's hear it. Then we haven't heard

985
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: an Aguayo update. The biggest cliffhanger since that one episode

986
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: of Friends. When Rachel went to meet Ross at the

987
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: airport after his work trip to China. It was stunned

988
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: to see Ross cuddling up to his new squeeze Julie.

989
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't get old, ridiculous. It's okay. They are there

990
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: for Hard Knocks. After being saddled you know, I'm sorry

991
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: Amazon and NFL Films, But after being saddled with the

992
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: rams for Hard Knocks and all or nothing back to back,

993
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: I am excited for a little hard knocks. Tampa Bay

994
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: Bucks they picked up. Yeah, especially with DeShawn there. I

995
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: don't like having covered him in Philly. That's he'll be

996
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: a good character. There's a lot to like. I mean,

997
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: Mike Smith back in the mix. Wow, Yeah, hot to

998
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: the touch. Al Right, Greggy another I do. I'm gonna

999
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: go again with an entire defensive unit. Bend in the

1000
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: rules a little bit here, huh. I don't know, there's

1001
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: there there's no rules, there are no rules. I'm going

1002
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: with the Falcons defense. I know they were in the

1003
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowl past, year, but that they're the reason they

1004
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: didn't win the Super Bowl last year. They weren't a

1005
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: good defense. We spent a lot of the Super Bowl

1006
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: week trying to bend over backwards saying, Okay, you know,

1007
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: dan Quinn's really getting his you know, mojo going, and

1008
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: they've they've improved, and it's it's like, no, they gave

1009
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: up a ton of yards, a ton of points. Yes,

1010
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: they did better, uh in the NFC playoffs, certainly against

1011
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Packers. But the reason they won those

1012
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: games were was offense. Offense, offense, and for the most

1013
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: part it was a problematic defense throughout the year. Yet

1014
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: I think they were so young and they had a

1015
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: lot of injuries. They didn't have Desmond Truffont, and I

1016
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: just like the mix of them, and I do like

1017
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. I think it takes a while people don't

1018
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: think about it, to really get your own system going.

1019
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: This is dan Quinn's third year in Atlanta. These guys

1020
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: have now been with him in between Dion Jones and

1021
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: Kean O'Neil, and I really like Grady Jarrett upfront. You

1022
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: bring in don Terry po it's just Vic Beasley. You

1023
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: draft McKinley. It's just a lot of young pieces who

1024
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: I think have a lot of speed and they'll be

1025
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: helped out by that offense. And I think that defense,

1026
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: this team has so much room for improvement because the

1027
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: defense was not in the top twenty tow defenses in

1028
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: the league last year, and yet they were still that

1029
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: good as a team. The players that they have drafted

1030
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: under Bradley have they've developed quickly. Right, that's a great

1031
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: sign and right, and that's let's you know, it's the

1032
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: same system nineties something percent as Gus Bradley's and that

1033
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: wasn't happening in Jacksonville or Gus Bradley. So I think

1034
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: that that I think this is a great pick for

1035
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: that because they if what they if they can keep

1036
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: growing from where we saw in the playoffs into this

1037
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: season half season three quarters through h Yeah, dan Quinn,

1038
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: I think he's done a really good job just like

1039
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: grooming these guys. They're they're so young and they have

1040
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: so much talent, and there was a lot of rookies, right,

1041
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean that they expected a lot out of to

1042
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: be on such a big stage with not a lot

1043
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: of experience and pretty deep in the secondary, like Robert

1044
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 1: Alford has a big contract. He was you know, injured

1045
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: as well. Jalen Collins, Like, it's just a group. I

1046
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: think they're kind of buffeted or I don't know what

1047
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: the word is, that they're not at that big of

1048
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: a risk of falling off because I think a buffer,

1049
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: have a buffer, even though the offense has got to

1050
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: fall backwards. I think the defense is naturally like they

1051
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: can't help but improve this year. Yeah, alright, so you went.

1052
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: You went double defense though, Okay, I'm going double Oh,

1053
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: I'm going. When was the last time we talked about

1054
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: the Colts on the show? A lot of Chris Ballard

1055
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: talk about the team. How about a little Dante Moncreef.

1056
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: I think he was probably on the list last year,

1057
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: and that makes that makes total sense because everybody was

1058
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: really high on him last year, and I think that we're, yeah,

1059
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: we're Oh, that makes me feel even better. So we were.

1060
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: I think we were all in agreement that the expectations

1061
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: for him were really high and that he was talented,

1062
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: but um he I think he would have made the

1063
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: leap if he didn't get hurt. Last year. He only

1064
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: had a three and seven yards, but he scored seven

1065
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: touchdowns in nine games hundred yards last year. Yeah, and

1066
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: two of those nine games he didn't even finish because

1067
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: he got hurt. So he scored in every single game

1068
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: that he finished when he was healthy. He's a super

1069
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: physical guy. He should be. Andrew Luck's probably favorite red

1070
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: zone target, so I would expect a lot of scores

1071
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: from him. And if Andrew luck shoulder is good, I

1072
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: think Dante Moncrief will be too. Yeah. I mean, you

1073
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: want to see the whole offense get back to what

1074
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: they were doing if if that's what's going to happen here,

1075
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: and I think they they've they've finally addressed the line

1076
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: to some degree, and if they can keep Luck healthy,

1077
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: then it's a huge arrow up for a guy like Moncrief.

1078
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: And he's only turning in August. He was a young

1079
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 1: player entering the league. So the fact that he's entering

1080
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: his fourth season and just turning, I'm with you. I

1081
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: think there's nothing that really should stop him from making

1082
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: that leap. It doesn't hurt to have the NFL's leading

1083
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: receiver on your team either, No, No, that can only

1084
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: help it away a little bit of attention, that's right,

1085
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: all right, So that's it for making the leap. Guys,

1086
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: when is your article coming out? I have a Steelers

1087
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: one up already thinking the leap, So they're coming out

1088
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: a couple couple of weeks, so you're not five of them.

1089
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 1: There's another Jaguars one coming out, so it's a full

1090
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: article for each leap candidates as a group. That's how

1091
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: we do it. That's how we used to do it,

1092
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: most of us. So Greg, does it now? Got me

1093
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: off that shore? Does anybody have July four plans? No?

1094
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: Not really? Its snuck up this time. I know. Figure

1095
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 1: it out, alright, not get arrested something. Let's let's uh,

1096
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: let's figure this out. Get arrested. That's a star. That's

1097
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: not get arrested by some firearms that are across the

1098
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: street from the NFL media fireworks, fireworks, go to the beach,

1099
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: some beer, get crazy. That sounds danger risk, but I'll

1100
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: like it four July. So let's do this all right,

1101
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: let's wrap it up. This has been great. When are

1102
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: we back again? Back again? Monday too, backing in with

1103
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: a fresh show? Thursday? Oh Thursday, that's right, and it's

1104
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: a surprise. Get excited, all right, everybody. Amount I'm spent

1105
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: that's it until next week.
