I don't know, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.520 I mean, is anyone else dealing with a home It's 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.480 like a hundred and seventeen degrees in this room that 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.680 I'm in, and I mean getting needs to be a 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.600 quick episode. We need to get in and we need 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.479 to get out. Morson whistles and nonsense. Today you're looking 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.680 a little more Ted Kazinski like as the Beard Grannis. Yeah, yeah, 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.480 you know, and it's it's not gonna get any better. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.720 There's no improving any of this at this point. I mean, 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.200 I cannot contain the adrenaline pumping through my veins for 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.080 the schedule release. That's why you get alive Westling today, 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.480 we're we are twenty four hours of lay. It is. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.000 It is the new West of Us until Joe Burrow 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.520 gets Cincinnati back into the postseason. Yeah, it's not only 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:45.240 are we quarantined and and families stuck together in small spaces. 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.280 Now the heat is rising in southern California, but you 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.840 head over to Santa Monica, Greg in Paradise, So Greg, 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.680 probably another beautiful day for you with the family and quarantine. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.840 I mean it's it's not like the weather is that 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.560 much different here, although it's seven or eight degrees makes 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.280 it makes a nice difference. Yeah, so peaceful though in 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.560 tranquil it's really no one's been sleeping. Um My sun 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.639 Walker has not been sleeping in neither of eye for 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.120 now three days. But that's not unique necessarily to the 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.520 quarantine we've got. We've got again, we've got our we've 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.560 got our struggles. A lot of reading, a couple of days. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.400 It's too deep of a contra it's too long of 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.240 a conversation. I think where my mind is at. I 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.280 think this quarantine it like it like you know, I 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.280 think when we're just floating along doing our jobs, it's like, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.440 what what do you know? What's what's the purpose here? 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.440 Maybe I struggle with that a little bit normally, like 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.480 what's the purpose of what we're doing here in this lay? 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.200 But in the quarantine it kind of focuses your purpose. 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.880 You gotta take care of your family, you gotta do 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.480 your stuff, and that gives you a little more me, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.040 a little more calm. You know. How about that you 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:59.119 sept Us a photo of you sitting in the sunlight 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.440 on your back porch area with the children playing together, 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.800 A man at peace. Well, I thought the photo was 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.040 funny because I was reading and relaxing and my son, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.440 you know, Walker basically had Ellis in a total headlock, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.320 smashing her face into like a concrete ground, with me 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.280 doing like nothing, like two feet away. Did those children 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.440 often grapple with each other? Um in that way? That 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.000 kind of surprised me, Yeah, a little bit. I I 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.840 wrestled with Walker, certainly to try to get the energy out. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.040 He liked the wrestling. I thought about it a little bit, actually, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.200 Greg after the show on Monday, like this, for example, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.760 right now there he is there, He is the boy 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.000 who would be King Walker. He just came into the shot. 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.600 And uh, I think that you are just suited very 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.280 well to the quarantine, Greg, because if Jack burst into 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:57.400 the garage right now, Luke burst into Mark's little recording enclave, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.240 we would face anxiety and be worried about what we're 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.440 gonna how we're gonna handle a situation. You you're almost 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.320 like the zen Master. You welcome the child down your lap. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.080 Sit boy, be a part of this with me. This 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.680 looks like Philip Jackson with Robin on his lap. We're 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.840 talking about wrestling Walker, are you like, what do you 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:20.120 think about wrestling lately? Okay? See, so I love that. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.839 That's where I have. I have two of that situation. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.800 It was a velocit raptor that would send me into 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.839 a seizure of Jack did that on my lap in 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.120 the middle of the podcast. So I just think I think, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.600 after thinking about it personally Greg after the show Monday, 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.000 that maybe just your the way you're hardwired is kind 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:45.240 of perfect. For the quarantine and good for you, thank you. Yeah, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.600 I'm happy for you. I mean you're also Greg, You're 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.599 a food a noted foodie. I mean you and you 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.960 always seem to be um, you know, gallivanting around town 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.600 going to various eateries. I mean, what is that's been 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.560 taken away from you? Or or are you uh organizing 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.320 four star meals on the home front? This is a 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.760 lot about me. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. But well 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.200 we did I remember anniversary out on Monday, so we 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.520 did order. Like some of these restaurants are doing these 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.960 sort of family meals where you can you can get 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.520 a pretty fancy one. We did that on Monday. But no, 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.040 for the most part, it's it's home cooked meals. But Emmica, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:25.240 you know, she's a Institute of Culinary Education trained chefs, 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.240 so those aren't bad. You know what the pieces are 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.400 in place to succeed. I think on the in Gregg's house, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.480 can we please the longer Callivanti now I'm not feeling 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.240 now he just calivants through his own house during quarantine. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.000 No longer feeling, and he's got a trained chef on site, 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:50.520 all right? Coming up on today's show, Uh, Ricky, Hey, Ricky, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.640 what's up? You are the resident twenty something of the 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.760 group you know for a little while longer anyway, and um, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.440 as such, we need to connect with the youth. Now 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.919 that I've turned forty, it is not a good situation 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.680 for our show for white guys in our for a 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.720 middle age, So you need to like help us connect 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.080 with the youth. You do a great job of the 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.680 Social Today's segment come back season, we need you to 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.200 really push that out in the Social Universe Spelling season 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.160 as z N. You need that. Yeah, that's huge forgetting 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.159 this show out there to the audience and letting them 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.640 know that we have not lost touch. Okay, I mean Erico. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.480 One question is is sec N a bit of a 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.760 tired phrase itself at this point? Are we really on 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.840 the cutting? I mean, it's on its way out, but 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.479 I feel yeah, I feel like we're we're right on 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.240 the cusp where we might be able to get away 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.120 with it. Yeah, it's pretty late. It's it's kind of 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:50.880 an autumn right now. I feel like, as a phrase, 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.120 it's not as bad as I'm not gonna say. Who. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.280 I did see a beat writer much older than us 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:03.920 say that a team's position group was on fleek week 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.160 like the tight end group was on fleek, or you 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.360 have to who it was there, we'll bleep it out. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:16.840 Who was it? I'm that s you gotta text us, alright, alright, 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:22.800 you can bleep it out. It was. Oh no, well 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.120 spent it especially does not fit. It's not that's all right. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.760 So we're gonna share some players that are coming off 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:36.520 disappointing nineteen seasons. And I don't I don't know who 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.880 you guys are going with, but I kind of see 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.160 this as less injury related and more just a disappointing 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.600 season one where there were a lot of expectations and 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.600 maybe the person was a little beat up. But I 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.320 hope nobody has somebody that blew out in a c 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.240 L in week one. Uh, this is more people who 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.200 disappointed an hour on the comeback trail. Potentially we all 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.600 on the same page with us. All right, whatever, I gotta, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.560 I got a lot options. I like come back season. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:08.559 All right, let's do some news. Let us start with 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.160 my favorite football team, the New York Jets, who have 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:18.760 added a running back to their fleet. Their running back 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:24.600 group is on fleek after Frank Gore, the Inconvenient Truth 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.720 was signed to a one year deal on Tuesday. Obviously 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.400 huge ramifications, Greg, for you and I on this one. Gore, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:39.840 the forever veteran, UH was a big has bounced around 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.240 forever Adam Gaze, he played under Gaze in Miami. Gaze 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.319 was loved him. And in this time when Levy on 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.120 Bell is coming off a deeply disappointing season and there's 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.200 been talk that the Jets will like to um maybe 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.319 make it more closer to a committee situation in the backfield, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.280 Frank Or enters the fray thirty seven years old. UH 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.640 this month, Greg, your thoughts on Frank Gore entering the 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.000 picture for the New York Jets, Well, I immediately thought, 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.360 all your little Frank Gore. You know, how's the locker 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.880 room gonna survive without him? Jokes not so funny? Now? 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:18.880 Is it Hansas room? He's coming to save the Jets 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.880 locker room? I mean, look, I think it's a It's 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.360 no matter what you think of Frank Gore, it's incredibly 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.319 impressive he's been able to keep getting jobs. I mean, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.760 thirty seven year old running backs playing well enough that 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.640 people will keep giving them jobs. I don't think it's 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.120 going to change the Jet season. I think I think 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.520 he played like a fine backup last year. I know, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.320 uh West thinks I'm just being a homer there, but 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.520 I think he's a fine backup. It shows your boy 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:47.480 Billy Powell's not coming back. He's This is gonna sound 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.760 like I'm ripping on Levy on Bell, but Frank Gore 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.920 had more playmaking ability than Levy on Bell last year. Yeah, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.720 I mean, I think the Jet it was the Jets 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.160 have to make sure they come out of this next season. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.400 Whatever you get of this next season. With Levian Bell 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.960 not being one of the worst free agent signings of 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.840 the past five years, I mean, it's been a total 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.120 I am not knocking. It's not an anti Jets thing. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.120 It's just he's one of the more disappointing players league. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.400 Stick a pin in that Levan Bell conversation for a 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.960 little bit later. Right he fits into what where he 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.920 fits into that? For sure? I I want to say 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.200 this Greg very Greg centric, Pazza far I'm loving um. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.240 Let's just like, let's just go over where we're at 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.920 right now. First, the Jets draft your favorite wide receiver prospect, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.000 Denzel Mims in this year then they go out and 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:39.439 sign your favorite player of all time, practically Um, at 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.640 a time where it seemed like his career had reached 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.240 an end. I just want to add one more thing. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.839 You know, they also need a backup quarterback. Wait a second, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:54.160 Ricky and now another edition of sipping on Vena checking 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.320 on Gina. What if bear with me here the Jets 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.840 bring back ge know as their backup to Donald. At 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.719 what point did it just become your favorite team? I 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.240 mean your time of transition yourself with Tom Brady with 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.800 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, I mean I've got many 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.760 other candidates of fun teams to root for. First of all, 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.640 I don't even want Gino coming back to the Jets. 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.679 They don't deserve him um and Gino deserves better than 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.880 this segment. If this means that they're this segment is 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.880 coming back, I don't. I don't like this segment. This 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.679 it's disrespectful to Gino. I want him on it. He's 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.240 a guy who only goes to play goes with playoff teams. 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.280 And I do worry that Adam Gates has got to 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.679 ruin some of these players. I like, we gotta, we 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.440 gotta close that segment. Close the segment, and that was 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:46.440 another edition of si N checking on go ahead. I 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.360 mean that that was basically I think it's the same 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.839 thing Jets fans worry about two when when good things 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.800 seem to happen to them, you just worry is out 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.640 of gates gonna is gonna be able to capitalize on this? 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.920 It's fair. He's the one thing for Jets fan and um, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.719 it's an optimistic offseason that you feel like they might 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.280 be going in the right direction. But the one thing 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.920 for me and millions of other Gang Green supporters is 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.080 is the head coach the right guy? Um? And not 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.360 a lot of positive evidence in year one. I don't, 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.880 for the record, love the Gore signing. I never played 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.319 professional football, or college football, or really high school football, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.320 so I can't really tell you how important it is 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.800 to have like a badass veteran in the locker room. Um. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.760 But in terms of who they could have had to 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.160 potentially handcuff with Levy on Bell, I mean I probably 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.720 would have rather had Carlos Hide or a younger back. Um. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.760 They also, of course have a rookie, uh, Michael p 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.040 Rhyan at of Florida. I want I don't want him 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.800 to be buried on the bench this year because the 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.000 Jets are gonna move on from Levy on Bell next year. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.280 So that's um, that's my feeling on that. But you know, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.960 he brings a lot to the locker room. We know 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.920 that he was playing fine. He's a fine backup. It 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.880 makes me wonder a little bit as you're talking. I mean, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.240 if Bell actually did start out well, would he be 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.480 a guy that if someone gave him a fifth round 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.000 pick for him they would just trade him in Week six? 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.400 You know, in other Jets news, they placed wide receiver 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.280 Quincy and Nona on the reserve pup list with a 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.840 neck injury. And this is a sad story because he 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.520 was the one kind of uh draft hit for John 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:32.160 Iszi in the late rounds, back the sixth round pick 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.840 who really was developing into a nice player. He's kind 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.800 of a tweener, but in a good way where he 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.880 was really big and quarterbacks couldn't handle him, but he 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.640 was faster than linebackers. He was really developing into a guy. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.400 But the neck injury wiped out his twenty seventeen season. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.440 He played well in ten and got a four year contract, 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.400 and then the neck injury again got him in the 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.760 first game last season the Jets, by the way opened 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.240 last season and then lost um C J. Mosley and 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.360 Quincy Una for the year in that first game against 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.040 the Bills. Anyway, so noon with twenty seven years old, 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.640 his career is probably over. And it makes a lot 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.600 of sense. Why um, you heard during the ramp up 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.880 through the off season, Uh, Joe Douglas never committing to 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.280 a new one because this was never a good situation 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.720 with the next situation so unfortunate because I think when 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.560 you look at the way all receivers play, he has 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.680 one of the most fearless playing styles, like truly a 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.520 physical wide receiver. Um. And you just wonder, even if 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.280 he gets to play again, will will he be able 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.160 to play with that same style in two thousand one 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.320 or two thousand twenty two whenever he if he does 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.720 come back. I mean, we talked about Denzel Mims. He 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.040 a lot of receivers take a year or two to 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.680 really become what they are. He doesn't really have the 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.080 luxury of that with what they're dealing with at that position. Yeah, 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.120 that's true. Although if her if Chris Herndon is kind 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.880 of the forgotten guy feels like he's almost like the 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.200 key Weird the other than Darnal in that office, because 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.080 for a minute, I thought like Chris Hernon might be 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.560 an all pro type of tight end and if he plays, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.520 if he plays like that, then the receiver group looks 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.680 looks a lot better. Herndon is a guy that people 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.640 close to the team love. They see him as a 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.360 guy that could be a big star. He, of course, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.600 his entire season was wiped away by injury as well. Uh. Noon, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.000 by the way, landed a four year, thirty three point 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:18.800 four million dollar contract extension, played one game on that deal, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.280 and because Big Mac Mike mccagnan was not very good 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.040 at his job, there's really no injury protection for the Jets, 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.200 so he just carried on the roster for another year 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.680 and all the cap ramifications that go with it. Uh. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:41.040 In other news, Marshawn Lynch remember him, yes, vaguely? What 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.720 do you remember about Marshawn Lynch, Mark cecil? I remember 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.560 the story that I'll remember until I die is him 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.440 retiring in the middle of the Super Bowl and West 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.920 having to put down what he was doing and suddenly 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.840 bang out some absurd Marshawn Lynch retirement story while missing 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.560 like the second into third quarter of the biggest sporting 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:04.760 event we've ever been to the fourth quarter. This was 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.560 San Francisco, this was it was Panthers. That was kind 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.680 of a dud. Anyways, Yeah, I think he did yea well, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.320 Lynch retired, he came back, He went to the Raiders, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.360 played there a couple of years, wasn't resigned, disappeared again, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.680 and then reappeared when Seattle was hit by a ton 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.320 of injuries late last season and didn't do much to 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.040 move the needle, but fell into the end zone a 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.680 few times. Well. According to his agent Doug Hendrickson, he 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.120 has been in talks to rejoin the Eagles. He's now 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.400 thirty four years old. Oh, Seahawks, Sorry, he is now 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.960 thirty four years old. Chris Carson's got a hip issue 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.360 or shot Penny towards a c l uh, So there 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.920 is potentially a window here. They did draft a rookie 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.680 UH in the fourth round d J Dallas. They also 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.960 have Travis Homer in the building. So Lynch, have we 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:02.000 seen the last of him? Maybe not? Mm? Why why bother? 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.720 I don't know. I mean, that's a weird one. He 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.800 I think he averaged under two yards per carry, you know, 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.440 counting the two playoff games. Just it seems weird. It's 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.280 a good guy to have on speed. Now, I guess 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.040 if if emergency strikes, if Chris Carson is not coming 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.760 off a fractured hip and Kenny's not coming off the 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.040 a c L, I doubt they even mess around with 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.800 Marshawn Lynch. It does make you wonder about the Seahawks offense. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.760 So I feel like, just the way there Pete Carroll's 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.879 wired and Schottenheimer's wired, they shouldn't be so run depending. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.080 But they're never gonna stop running no matter who's back there. 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.640 We saw that with Lynz so he ran a lot 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.600 in the in the playoff game, which they won. Well, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.399 they'll go eleven and five, I mean with you know 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.720 eleven Raggedy Ann's on that side of the ball. They 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.360 always find a way. I mean, playoff team book it 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.159 it's so hot in this from there's something special about 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:58.760 Mark right now. The bed's beard has gone next level 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:00.960 and the heat. So there's a little bit of a 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:06.880 do do we look special? You know, I'm I am 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.600 openly struggling right now. I just I need we you know, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.840 we we're meandering NonStop and we need to get here 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.360 and move forward. This might you might enjoy this. Then. 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.320 In other Seahawks news, jadeveon Clowney says he quote loves 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.840 Seattle and isn't ruling out of return. Actually, you know 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.520 what this is for you? Mark Ricky, do you have 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:35.160 a do you have a match? That story was blasted 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.639 into the sun. Thank you. I have heard enough of 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:44.240 Pete Carroll or Jendamon Clowney's people or whoever saying that 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.800 these sides could sign a deal and get it done 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.439 and Clowney returns to Seattle. All right, when it happens, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.080 we'll talk about it. That's it. That's enough. Good leadership, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.440 thank you. What point? With all due respect to the 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.119 whole operation up there in the stific northwest, and they 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.080 do an excellent job. But you know, there's a there's 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.919 a term. It's called you know, piss or get off 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:12.119 the pot? Right? That's fair? I think this is unanimous. Listen, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.560 did I have the quote right? There was no if 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.320 if you're on the pot, you're not going number one. 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.040 I mean to be fair, I thought we I thought 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.880 we deep six this news item, and we're still going 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.760 on about it. Well, yes, that's not necessarily true. Depending 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.960 on gender or some weirdos well subsitters out there, the 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:36.000 saying would be the alternative to you're right or get 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.760 off the pot. And that's what's happening in the news. 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:45.280 All right, it's come back season. That's how the kids 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.760 say it too. They hit the Z. So we're gonna 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.160 go around the horn once or twice, depending on how 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.080 long it takes before Mark passes out and has a 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.240 heat stoke. Um, I'm not doing too well either. I 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:58.960 gotta be honest with you. See a little shine on 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:04.119 me today. It's getting hot in this non insulated garage. 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:07.840 Don't worry. It will be June soon in July, and 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.320 we will be we will die in our homes. Do 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.360 you guys remember what it's September is like in southern California. 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.520 It's the hottest month of the year. This has to end. 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:21.919 We need I know, we don't want to go back 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.840 to the office for some reasons, but this gotta end. Well, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.399 I gotta get an air condition on here, and it 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.680 could be expensed to Roger. Well, you're out in yeah, 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.320 your garage, to be clear, not in your house. Yeah, 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.240 that's that's troubly. All right, let's get to it. Let's 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.560 come back season. Mark. You're feisty, so before we lose, 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:45.199 you get us going. Well, yeah, I don't want to 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.160 go injury player, um route, as you suggested, but I'll 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:52.360 go David Johnson because I think his name overall has 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.879 been um soiled because he was attached to one of 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.000 the worst trades we've seen in years. And you know, 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.040 the overall question is is David Johnson even a shell 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.159 of who he was back in in the in the 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.720 middle of last decade, and it's really been years and 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.919 years since he's been productive, essentially benched last year for 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.359 Kenyan Drake, who the Cardinals went and prioritized and brought back, 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:20.560 and Johnson quickly became overly priced and tradeable, um weirdly 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.199 when you thought they never would be able to. And 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.679 he's he's he's basically a centerpiece in that offense at 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.399 the moment. I mean, they they have moved on from 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:30.960 certain running backs. I find it interesting that he would 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.560 be pairing with Duke Johnson to some degree, but um, 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.960 I have huge suspicions that David Johnson will be a 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:38.960 thing at all, that this was a smart move for 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.280 the Texans to make, and he has a lot to prove, 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.240 so we will see. But I liked it would be 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.520 interesting if he um thrived because I think that would 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.280 that would surprise many. M hmm. We're not. You're not 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.320 too confident it's going to be bounced back. So I'm 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.280 not confident, but I would. I don't wish ill on 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:57.800 the player. I mean, I think he's had a lot 0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.680 of bad luck. He had the broken wrist and never 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.879 really the same guy after. The idea here is to 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.439 nominate people who we believe has a have a comeback. 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:08.560 He's not well. I do think he has a chance 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.719 because he's not buried on the depth chart, he's not 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.879 in where he's he's a better chance than last year 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.359 when the Cardinals said he doesn't fit into what we 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.080 want to do and he essentially his his role diminished. 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.520 The Texans traded for him to use him a lot 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.840 um and so I think the comeback factor is real. 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:28.359
