1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Thea Around the NFL podcast is full of heart from

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: start to finish. Welcome back to another Dish Around the

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: NFL podcast. My name is Dan Hansas, and I am

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: joined by a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: and Greg Rostal. What's up, boys, It's the gift that

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: keeps kidding well. I spent the last episode suggesting that

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: we need to be thanking and giving gifts to Matt

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: money Smith. That's off the table when he portrays me

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: by putting that line back out there again for the

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: eighteenth time in the past ten days. Money on the

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: radar at the top of the show. This is the

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: earliest anyone's ever gotten on the radar before, very early.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Don't wrong me. It's quite possible Money was just handed

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: a list of things to say. Well in the real

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: culprits behind the glass right now, those big eyes Sydney

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: once again, it's not mad money Smith, it's you, is

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: Sydney in the reve enge bucket. She's kind of like

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: spiraling down through the atmosphere and the bucket is big

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: on the ground and she's heading right towards it. Not

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: in there yet. Maybe a change of course. There was

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: a Shadowy Leak figure that was disappointed that he didn't

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: come into the office to Hornet's nest. Is that what

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: it was? Yeah, there was a promise that the Shadowy

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: We're dealing with an issue with our sponsors, and I'll

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: be reading sponsorships all through the show. Get excited um

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: about an individualized offer code. It's what we're looking forward

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: instead of a general offer code that covers all the podcasts.

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: We're trying to differentiate ourselves as a business model. Greg

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: shaking his head, it's the business side. How gonna make

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: things happen? You know? Well, this guy's gonna this Shadowy

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: League figure might find himself in the revenge bucket. How

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: about that? Maybe he's already there. Well, we don't know

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: who you're referring to, but it could be any he's

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: had two more days. Do we have an official statement

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: from the Shadowy League figure? Uh? About why we do

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: not have our own offer code for either of our sponsors.

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: Nothing new on that front remains a hard declined statement.

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: Is that a good look? In the pr rome was

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: You don't want my honest opinion on this today. You'll

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: be down to three man podcast if you have If

41
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: you are caught up. You know, you know what's happening here.

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: On Tuesday's show, we we went around the a f

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: C in forty eight minutes. Now would it be weird

44
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: if we didn't go around the NFC? Like, what kind

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: of podcast would that be? It would be an incomplete podcast.

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: We are a complete podcast. The NFC is one of

47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: the topics that I was on my list to not

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: report on or right about this off season. So weird

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: for the three of you. Yeah, that's true. Have you

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: been able to do that until now? And now you're in?

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: Now you're in. You just when you thought you were out.

52
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there is an easy way I can fact

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: check this statement of years go look through your archive.

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Should we do it? I'm gonna do it real quick.

55
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean I even reported anything all off season, so

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: let's start right there. So any writing at all, it's

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: just reporting on anything having to do with the NFC.

58
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: But that was a little tough. Okay, looks like you

59
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: got Cowboys ad slot receiver Ryan Switzer day. I was

60
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: trying to help out my coworkers by doing that. Niners

61
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: trade to number thirty one select Alabama's Ruben Foster helping

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: coworkers but it's funny because most of these are a

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: are you trying to do that? He has stated, that's

64
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: my intention. I don't have any power X Saints guard

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: gyra Evans to sign with Packers. That's almost it's almost

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: such a random stance to take. I would think your

67
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: bosses would have to go along with it. Yeah, that's

68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: not been their stance at all. It's not random, right

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: that you you have the stance for a reason that

70
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the same teams in the NFC or are good every year.

71
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: Nothing changes. So you're gonna focus on the conference that

72
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots are in and the Steelers. I really was

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: just sort of tired of the NFC in general. That's

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: where it came from anyway. So yes, we are going

75
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: to devote three let's figure it out, thirty two teams,

76
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: but only sixteen in each division. If you give conference conference,

77
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: give three minutes to each team in the conference minutes

78
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: three minutes per team. We'll go through all the teams

79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: in the NFC, and when we're done, we'll have covered

80
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: the entire league in one week. Beat that competitors. Let's

81
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: get to it a little little. Let's give us something said,

82
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: give us something to get us excited about us. There

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: it is around the NFC, gives some hype music and

84
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: eight minutes mark, just like Tuesday will start with you,

85
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: this time in the NFC East, Let's start in Dallas.

86
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys added six new defenders through the draft.

87
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: They went right after what they said they needed to do,

88
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: including a pair of projected starters. I know we talked

89
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: about Dallas we on this podcast all times. Is every

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: other year they completely crumble and disappear, and then they

91
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: come back the next year and do the little playoff thing.

92
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: Why can't this be the tear that the Dallas Cowboys

93
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: stay consistent, a lot of the same players on offense,

94
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: same exact situation. Why that the doom and gloom around

95
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Well, you're large this theory. Well I'm

96
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: only I'm just saying that the theories should not exist.

97
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: I'm a data man, and I look at the big time.

98
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: I go into my my my little hold my little

99
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: knob in the tree, and I and I and I

100
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: have all my machines and I crunched my data say

101
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: hello to boom. Yeah, you're the year the around the

102
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: NFL's Billy Bean over there. And my point is is

103
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: that history which is instructive. Greg tells us that the

104
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys will stink this year and every other year. Brainy

105
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: acts that the Cowboys stunk in the last like five

106
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 1: years when they were coming off a good season. People

107
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: weren't predicting it. I'm just saying it could happen this year,

108
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: but there's nothing I could from what you're The point

109
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: you're making is a good one. It's sound that their

110
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: offensive line is still great Dak Prescott year to Zeke

111
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Elliott playmakers, it makes sense. It should be safe. They

112
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: should be about as safe as it gets because of

113
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: that offense. The case against them, though, is that they overachieved.

114
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: That their defense wasn't that good anyways, And even then

115
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: they may be overachieved last year, lost a lot in

116
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: the secondary, still aren't very exciting in terms of their

117
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: pass rush. They really did not address that problem at

118
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: I know they took Taco Charcolate, all right, they tried

119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: to address it. I'm looking at the Marcus Lawrence and

120
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton and you know, Tyrone Crawford and whatnot, and

121
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking that's one of the better gass rushers

122
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: or even an average way. I think what helps Dallas

123
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: Rod Miranelli incredible defensive coordinator. He's gonna they got a

124
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: lot new not a lot new defensive guys to work with.

125
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: I like this. I think they they drafted as well

126
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: as you could expect the last couple of years, after

127
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: all the flak Jerry Jones took. That organization is structured

128
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: differently now smart drafts. They should be heading shoulders favorites

129
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: in this division. I don't think their pass rushes any

130
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: worse than it was last year, and in fact it's

131
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: probably better. And guys like David Irving, we're making a

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of plays at the end of last year, even

133
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: though he's not a household not tell you where he

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: wasn't making plays in that playoff game, one game, one game,

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: a couple of games going up to that for him specifically,

136
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: But their pass rush in that game and their defense

137
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: in that game, it was a reminder of how far

138
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: they had to go that they were not close. I

139
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: don't think to a championship level. They have the single

140
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: most valuable asset in the NFL, A starting quarterback, franchise

141
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: quarterback making about four and and continuity on the best

142
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: offensive line in all day. I mean that's the thing

143
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: where you kind of can't see them crumbling because of that.

144
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Every they went right last years. We spent the month

145
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: of March handwringing the Washington Redskins. Scott McLuhan unceremoniously dumped

146
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, trade rumors every other day to Sean Jackson

147
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: and Pierre Pierre Garson out the door, what's going on

148
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: with their defense? And a month and a half later,

149
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if their wide receiver corps that much worse.

150
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is not going to be traded. They have

151
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good draft, they're building up this defense. Can

152
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: the Redskins actually be improved over last year's team? I

153
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: don't like that idea. That's not fun. Well, you hate

154
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: the Redskins. That's part of why you don't think it's fun. Uh,

155
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: the off season so long that we end up like

156
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: contradicting what we were saying. Everything you're saying makes sense.

157
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: I think in this division you can kind of make

158
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: a case for any team good or bad, say the

159
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: non Cowboys teams. But no, I think this is a

160
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: team on defense that is likely to be poor, and

161
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: nothing they've done has really changed my mind on that,

162
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Allen like adding that when it comes to

163
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: the Redskins, I feel like with Jake Cruden, from the

164
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: minute he got there and inherited the Cousins r G

165
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: three scenario, he's had to deal with chaos and a

166
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: lack of harmony in Washington from the very beginning, and

167
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of done a pretty good job with it.

168
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: I think last season I thought around Thanksgiving they were

169
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: the one team that could go into the NFC playoffs

170
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: had they been can kept that together and caused some

171
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: serious issues. I don't see that they've completely changed. Had

172
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: they gone down the route of getting rid of Kirk

173
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Cousins to try to solve that a different way and

174
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: then you draft some Wookie quarterback, anything could have happened. Negatively,

175
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: I I kind of see them as a team that

176
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: in this division can hang around. I agree that it

177
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: probably wasn't as much doom and gloom, and on paper

178
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: it's a it's a good overall team. I think it's

179
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: worth mentioning every now and then that Kirk Cousins, who

180
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: you know, at this point we've built up so much

181
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: because he's worse so much in terms of trade value,

182
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: was absolutely terrible, and their offense was absolutely terrible twice

183
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: in December when the playoffs are on the line. I mean,

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: people forget that Giant's game was a fiasco. The Panthers

185
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: last was a fiasco. So they've got talent, and I

186
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: think Kirk Cousins kind of like Alex Smith in Kansas City,

187
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: has a ceiling and I don't know, like, I don't

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: know if they get past that. I do wonder if

189
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior translates more positively than he did last year,

190
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: or if that is something that says that sustainable. I

191
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: wonder I expect him to do much better with a

192
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: better quarterback. That yeah, that is actually say that the

193
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: whole signing was a bit under the radar. I think

194
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: that if he continues to progress, that's a major playmate.

195
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder is totally fantastic and totally emergent. So they've

196
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: got weapons. I mean, they have a new starting running

197
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: back potentially in somaj Preen. Their fourth round pick's gonna

198
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: challenge Fat Robbed. They get Trent Williams back healthy. There

199
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: are a lot of things. If you're a Redskins fan,

200
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: I think you can make the case that you know

201
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: to feel good about that they're a playoff type of team. Totally.

202
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I totally reversed myself there, Big Blue, the New York Giants.

203
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, ya, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Eli Manning

204
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: the biggest punching bag in this room. I am a defender.

205
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: We all know that it's not easy. It's not easy,

206
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: especially with attorney at law Chris Westling to my left.

207
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: But let me say this. ELI had a bad year

208
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: last year. Uh, even if statistically it doesn't look that bad,

209
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: it was not a good year. And what do the

210
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: Giants do. They went eleven and five and they went

211
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Uh, they went and they got Brandon Marshall.

212
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Maybe they could have done better to protect Eli in

213
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: the offensive line, maybe they could use some backfield help.

214
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: But eleven and five off a bad ELI year. ELI

215
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: plays better next year, aren't they the biggest threat to

216
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? And then have ceased. I will say this

217
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: is little faith, as I had an Eli Manning who statistics,

218
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: depending on which ones you're using, will tell you how

219
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: bad he was last year. I thought they were one

220
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: of the biggest threats to all the superpowers going into

221
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year and had to scare team silly.

222
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: That defense was playing at such a high level, and

223
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: you Knowdell Beckham can go off in any time. I

224
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: absolutely think that the biggest threats to the Cowboys. Logically,

225
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: this is a really good division. It's funny how fast

226
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: things change, because I think the on paper, to me,

227
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: this is the best Giants roster since oh eight. I

228
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: mean maybe maybe you can make a case for eleven

229
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: when they when they won the Super Bowl, but they

230
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: were a pretty balanced team. And I think the offensive

231
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: line is a huge problem and it could totally sink

232
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: this team. They're counting on Eric Flowers and Bobby Heart

233
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: to just get better and if that doesn't happen, you know,

234
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: it could ruin everything. But the receivers are deep. The

235
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: defensive line, uh is deep. The secondary is awesome. Like

236
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: they have a lot. They have a lot to like

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: ev Ingram tight end. They needed to upgrade. That was

238
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: a weird pick to me, They needed to address it.

239
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: But yes, because you have They've never They've never used

240
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: that kind of tight end in the ELI years. They

241
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: always have some big six ft six pound guy that

242
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: they also Brandon Marshall is no more than a one

243
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: or two years patch yeah, I guess I just was

244
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: thinking they have guys to throw the ball to, their

245
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: offensive line, their linebackers. You know, I was expecting to

246
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: get it was a guy they liked. You're a fan

247
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: of fourth string tight end Matt Lacosse. I understand understandable.

248
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the defensive changes they made last

249
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: offseason still translate. There's a There's a lot to like

250
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: with the Giants. They're also one of these freaky teams

251
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: that whether you like ELI or not, they get streaky

252
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: and they become someone you didn't predict on any level,

253
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: and that that division does feel like go right down

254
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: to the last week like it always does. They can

255
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: beat any team in the league in a given week,

256
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: including the Patriots and Steelers and and Packers and whoever else.

257
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: I think Spagnola. Spagnola did a good job last year.

258
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm not all in on Ben McAdoo as a great

259
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: offensive coach. I mean, we'll see. I'm not I'm not

260
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: saying he's ruled himself out. But I don't know if

261
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: this guy's, you know, a guy that we're gonna be

262
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: speaking highly of the worst dancer of head coaches. There's

263
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: got to be some competition three and Joe Philbin until

264
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Mike greg Every year I find a way to convince

265
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: myself that the Philadelphia Eagles are the team to beat

266
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. This year very under the radar,

267
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: I would say, as as Eagles teams go, there's always

268
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: some attention. Is there any way looking at what they've

269
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: done this offseason and in the draft, that I can

270
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: in good conscience make that case again for the Eagles

271
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: to win their division. I mean, let's let's say I'm

272
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: doing it with a little green colored glasses. I'm trying,

273
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: you know. I I kind of just like what they're about.

274
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I like Carson Wentz, but I know it's a bit

275
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: of a launch shot. But can I even make the case?

276
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't even make sense that this could be the t

277
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: that wins the division. I mean, just with all this

278
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: offseason stuff we do. Their biggest issue last year, along

279
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz still developing, was a lack of weapons,

280
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: reliable weapons for Carson Wentz. You add Allshelan Jeffrey, you

281
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: had Tori Smith right there. You went out and completely

282
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: changed your wide receiving corps. So there's a case to

283
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: start with. For me, it starts right there, Timmy Journ again,

284
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Chris Long, couple players on the defensive line. Derek Barnett

285
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: was a guy people who were split on in the

286
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: scouting community, but he had incredible numbers in college and

287
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be looking at him to be a pass rusher.

288
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's like an exciting defense. There's like,

289
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: there's still parts here that cornerback and running back position

290
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: to me are a little confusing. Unless the Cowboys runaway

291
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: and hide again, which could happen, or it may not happen.

292
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: You can make a real case. It feels like for

293
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: any of these teams in the division. That goes back

294
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: to what you're saying about how this is all of

295
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: a sudden became a really good division. If if Carson

296
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Wentz makes a year two jump and they did a

297
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: nice job strong with the weapons, that means they're gonna

298
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: score points, and if they their defense plays up to

299
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: their potential, they're gonna get some stops, and then then

300
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: you're talking eleven wins again. This is a team that

301
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: could do that. I think I have maybe I have

302
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: three major hang ups about this team. Last year, they

303
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: were undone by a backfield that was inconstistent and unproductive

304
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: cornerbacks that were burnt too often, and a quarterback whose

305
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,479
Speaker 1: mechanics devolved throughout the season. And I see no solutions

306
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: to any of those three hang ups. I think you

307
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: could win. He needs to make a step up. I

308
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: mean it's like a lot. I think there's a lot

309
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: to like, and it almost falls into the Blake Borders

310
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: rookie category, where there's so much to like about the

311
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: physical makeup and what he brings. I love Wentz, but

312
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: you it's like Bordles. You have to see it on

313
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: the field. I think Whens what certainly compared the Borders

314
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: this rookie year did not show show as many red flags.

315
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: But I guess you can make the case. Again. I'm

316
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: confused that they're they're reportedly still gonna cut Ryan Matthews,

317
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: which makes their backfield Darren Sproke now pump free and

318
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Wendell Smallwood For a team that I think would want

319
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: to run the ball a lot, it's weird. It's a

320
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: tiny backfield, weird looking backfield. Well, Greg, you've talked yourself

321
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: right out of it. That's it. On the Eagles. Funny,

322
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: it used to be a team that got people going

323
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: they get Lane Johnson back, that's gonna change things. Drop

324
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: final ten seconds to the Eagles. In fact, I think

325
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: it's time to take a break after that. You've perfected

326
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: your wardrobe, But what about this stuff? Not everybody gets

327
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:37,320

00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,080

359
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: And now what Mr bossy pants NFC North, let's started

360
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: the most exciting locale in the NFC North, the Detroit suburbs.

361
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: The Lions used to drink listen. So here's what, By

362
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the way, did you draft them by choice or was

363
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: that fell to me? Are right in downtown Detroit. Let's

364
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: start in downtown detroits the Lions. I do like this.

365
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: They use the draft to address really probably their biggest

366
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: need at linebacker. They use free agency to improve that

367
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: offensive line. Finally, does any of this does anything they've

368
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: done at all since last week's seventeen ended change the

369
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: way we feel about their ceiling anything at all? Nothing.

370
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: They were a team that was losing in the fourth

371
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: quarter of sixteen of seventeen games. They weren't as good

372
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: as their record, and they're like, when I see what

373
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: they do at linebacker. Sure, they picked up one of

374
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: the best linebackers in the draft, but he's also just

375
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: replacing DeAndre Levy, just like the Jets are just replacing

376
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Calvin Pryor. It's hard for me to get excited about that. Well,

377
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: hopefully the Jets are upgrading on Calvin Pryor, and you,

378
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: Dared Davis isn't really replacing Levy anymore because Levy hasn't

379
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: been there for two years, So he's replacing white Head,

380
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: who's okay and stays in the starting lineup. At least

381
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: you're hoping that that that improves that position. I would hope.

382
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: It's just interesting because I look at their their weapons

383
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: on offense too that it's it's strange. I'm wondering if

384
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: I get stuck in this thing where I just think

385
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: that the Lions are boring, but they're actually last year

386
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: their games were the definition of exciting. Like on one hand,

387
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: I agree West, they were not a good they were

388
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: lucky to get the record they had last year. And

389
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: the other Matt Stafford played well, has played well with

390
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooter. They add Ricky Wagner and t J.

391
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Lank to free agent signings. I think we liked upgrade.

392
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: But are they any better than the guys they replaced.

393
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: I think I think so. I mean maybe I would

394
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: think they I both would think they are. And if

395
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Stafford's playing well, Marvin Jones, they need to get a

396
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: little more out of him. Abdullah is the guy who

397
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: fascinates me because they really believe in him. I think

398
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: they think, you but you have to stay healthy. And

399
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: who's running the ball inside? I hope it's not Zack Center.

400
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: I think it's Abdullah. It is the third year people

401
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: have talked with optimism about right, Yeah, I mean it's

402
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: just you got that. That's a fact of life that

403
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: he needs to now start turning that promise into real production,

404
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: because they do seem to be missing something to really

405
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: get excited about. I let Golden Tate will make an

406
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: exciting play every once in a while, Matt Stafford's got

407
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: a hose, but they seem to be missing like a

408
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: real guy to energize that the whole building and and

409
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: make game defining compliance. I feel like they're running back situation.

410
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Even though there's this promise, these guys can't stay on

411
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: the field has been the same way for half a decade.

412
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones needs to be better. I don't know if

413
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: he is. I don't know if I think he has

414
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: a higher ceiling than he showed last year. And I

415
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: think I'm Duela can be a number one type of back.

416
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: Maybe not three hundred carries, but three hundred touches when

417
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: you count the passing him too. He was great in

418
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: that game and a half before he got hurt the

419
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. What a fun run by the Packers

420
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: last year. We all enjoyed watching him, even Mark out

421
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: a little excited. I did a little bit when they

422
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: started to surge. I gave in I just gave into

423
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: what they are. I knew they would make the playoffs,

424
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: and I rode. I just went with the ride. And

425
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: then after that, um amazing when in Dallas they went

426
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: and they got spanked by the Falcons. Some people saying

427
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: they used up whatever juice and moja. They had no

428
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: The Falcons just had a once in a decade type

429
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: off passing offense or offense in general. And the Packers

430
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: had no stop, no way to stop, and they had

431
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: one of the worst past defenses in the league. So

432
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: what are they do. They're going to get Kevin King

433
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: uh with their first round pick, to take a safety

434
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: in the in the second round, uh, they take a

435
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: linebacker UH and a defensive tackle in their third and

436
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: fourth rounds. So they used their first four picks on

437
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. So they make it

438
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: clear what they think they need to do. Is that

439
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: the only thing this team that is separating this team

440
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: from getting back to the Super Bowl is that defense

441
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: kind of taking that next step and getting kind of

442
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: in the middling area. Is that it I think they

443
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: have to do better than middling. We know that the

444
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: offense by the end of last year was scoring over

445
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: thirty a game aim every week. They had the longest

446
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: stretch of thirty point games I think in Aaron Rodgers career.

447
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: So it's I think you can assume that they are

448
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: good enough on offense, but the defense always undud the Packers,

449
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: and it's not enough to be middling. They've been middling before.

450
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: They weren't even middling last year though, so at least

451
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: that would give him a chance. That secondary the cornerback

452
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: position was a disaster. I think, uh their second round pick,

453
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: Kevin King, first pick of the second round, is about

454
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: as important a rookie that I can think of on

455
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: a contending team. He is a lock to be starting,

456
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: barring any barring a disaster. He even't know about the

457
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: I think they would be really disappointed if he was

458
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: not starting, because Randall at this point has been a disappointment.

459
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: But he don't think they want to start Gunter. I

460
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: don't think they want to start these guys. I think

461
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: they want brought in Devon House, who knows the system,

462
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: and rookie cornerbacks struggle. They just about almost always struggle.

463
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: I like the addition to more tell Us Bennett. That's

464
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: great for Aaron Rodgers. I still don't understand what's happening

465
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: in the backfield with this team. They said time Montgomer

466
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: he's their starter. I mean, what's fun. Teams don't really

467
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: worry about inside running now that you think of, like

468
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: now that I'm thinking about, I mean, the Lions don't.

469
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: It's like they look at that as a role player,

470
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: kind of like third downbacks maybe. But they drafted Jamal Williams,

471
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: who who for what it's worth, is a guy that

472
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: some people loved and they think is going to play.

473
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: And the comparison is James Starks. I love Jamal. I

474
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: think you will all come to love as well if

475
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: you ever watch an interview with him. He's one of

476
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: the funniest I love. I love Jamal. But isn't he

477
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: kind of a power He's not gonna make you miss

478
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: He's just gonna run straight ahead, short yard. I mean,

479
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: he can hold his own way. He's leading Russia right there. Interesting. Yeah,

480
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: but alright, their backfield is not the best best thing

481
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: in the world. But they're still probably gonna score, you know,

482
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: thirty points a game in most weeks. Their defense needs

483
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: to get better. That's the only thing that's holding him back.

484
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they could really use come on exactly, like

485
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: who who is the premier? I mean, they need Nick

486
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: Perry to be just as good as he was last year.

487
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: That would help. They need a time Minnesota Vikings the

488
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: team of around the NFL. Don't try to pretend it

489
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: didn't happen. You know, we haven't done that well with

490
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: these picks. Between the Chargers the year before and the

491
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: Vikings last year. I'm I'm not giving it's philip us through.

492
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up on this team after adding Dalvin Cook.

493
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: Can't you make the case. I know the offensive line picks,

494
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: I was a little critical of him, but at least

495
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: they should be better in terms of Mike Rammers in

496
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: Reef with Dalvin Cook, couldn't this offense be pretty good?

497
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: Couldn't this defense show back up and be the defense

498
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: we thought it was gonna be last year. I do

499
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: not think this offense will necessarily hold this team back.

500
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Tell me, I'm rock I I agree with you. I

501
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: think people are sleeping on the votes and nobody thinks

502
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: that Riley Rife and Mike Rammers and who's the center

503
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: they drafted elf line? I mean, nobody thinks these guys

504
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: are all pros, but they are so much better than

505
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: Jake Long, and that's the Hall of Famer. He's going

506
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: to the Ring of Honor of the Gray Beards. Bro

507
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: the two thousand and sixteen version of Jake Ring of

508
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: Honor is not the same as being a holl of

509
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: Their offensive line was one of the worst I've ever seen,

510
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: so it doesn't take much to get a little bit better.

511
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: And Sam Bradford, I know that people are skeptical, played

512
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: better than he's ever played in his career and was

513
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: the best downfield passer in the NFL according to statistics,

514
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: And what if Lawan Treadwell steps up and actually contribute.

515
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: S Bradford was the number one downfield pastor in the NFL.

516
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: Do you believe that? You believe that to be true?

517
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: And in reality, the film shows that he was excellent downfield.

518
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: He was on point and extremely accurate. I think the

519
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: defense underachieved too. So Dalvin Cook comes in and replaces

520
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: a very milk toast starter in Latavius Murray. So that's

521
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: a pretty good one to punch with McKinnon to us.

522
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, theory is also a placing Adrian Peterson, but

523
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: he wasn't there. Yeah, you're right, but he was right.

524
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't there last year, and I just think this

525
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: defense should be better Lynval, Joseph Everson, Griffin, Anthony Barr,

526
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks, a nice little secondary with Harrison Smith and Rhodes.

527
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: It's like those guys that Zimmer got us excited for,

528
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: they're all still there. I mean it really were from

529
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: a like an emotional side and kind of what happened

530
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 1: to them, a really sort of snake bitten team last year.

531
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: So much put was put on to the play of

532
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: that coaching staff, and it's I don't see why they'd

533
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: be worse. I just still seem as a team in

534
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: the mix in the NFC, but I would not be

535
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: there in the NFC champions I know. But I'm not

536
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: going to do that again. I just I don't. I

537
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: don't see that they progress us enough to do that again.

538
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: You loved Mike Zimmer and their coaching staff, do you

539
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: still feel strongly about I really think Mike Zimmer actually

540
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: did a very good job last year with all the

541
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: stuff that got thrown at him. He's not the issue.

542
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the things we liked are

543
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: still there. So it's kind of like the year after

544
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: maybe maybe to nar the NFC South. Do you mind

545
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: if we discussed the Bears? We can talk about the Bears?

546
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: I think are you planning to just? I think that's

547
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: a good You went past West, you know that got

548
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: on West's radar. Little It's fine, probably got un bearsed.

549
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: I figured the Bears should be in the last place anyway,

550
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: all right? Was I apologize? Uh? Year? Up? The Chicago

551
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: Bears spent more money than any team in free agency.

552
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: They overpaid to move up to get Mitch Drubisky. They

553
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: drafted a bunch of small college guys. They make moves.

554
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: They are all of the map with their moves. Is

555
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: there any reason to believe this roster is better than

556
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: last year's. I here's the thing that sticks out with me.

557
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: No um. And secondly, where there there has to be

558
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: a suspicion that no one in charge there is gonna

559
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: be there a year from now. And it's the kind

560
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: of set up where you've left whoever comes into this position.

561
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: If that happens with a lot of problems. You know,

562
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: sometimes the conventional wisdom, when everyone is piling on the

563
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: team and like this is gonna be a joke, sometimes

564
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: it's right. Think about the Browns. Last year, everyone said

565
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: they would be the worst team in the league. They'd

566
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: be lucky to win a game or two. Hey, that's

567
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: what happened. The Bears are the Browns this year. I

568
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: think everyone is right. I think Glennan could be okay

569
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: if it was given that that should be there. Glennan,

570
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's Howard, and Cameron Meredith are three players. I like.

571
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Long and a couple of their offensive linemen are okay.

572
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: I think everything surrounding them and Fox and the GM

573
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: and drafting Drabinsky and the defense isn't too excited. That's

574
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: all gonna sink any of that promise. They are the worst.

575
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: You know what they need. They need Kevin White to

576
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: turn into the player they thought they were getting desperately.

577
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: That is asking a lot, though, because you look, I

578
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: mean from their skill players was I mean, Eddie Royal,

579
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna get excited there, Marcus Wheaton, he was the

580
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: odd man out in Pittsburgh. Kendall right, Zach Miller. I

581
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: think Camaron Meredith can be a quality starter. It can

582
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: be like I got the makings of a four win

583
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: team with a couple of young guys like that that

584
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: I just I think that you've left that fan base

585
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: absolutely spinning, because it's not just the decisions they made,

586
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: it's the fact that they're so clearly this toxic working

587
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: environment and that typically always ludes leads to complete doom.

588
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: There's so much pressure. First of all, Mike Lennon, as

589
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: we talked about on Tuesday, completely got hosed by the organization.

590
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: There can't be any trust, trust between quarterback and franchise anymore.

591
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that won't play out poorly, uh in

592
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: the in real time once you get to the season,

593
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: and then once Drabinsky gets in the in the lineup,

594
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: what he's going to he's gonna start games most likely.

595
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: You would think, so much pressure on this kid, and

596
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: we don't even know if he's even good, and he's

597
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna be tasked with saving jobs and and getting this

598
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: team to respectability and he might not be ready for

599
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: You still got free agent busts from the last GM,

600
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Houston and Peno McFee who haven't really lived up.

601
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's just a weird, weird team, Jakes. Now

602
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: we will move to the NFC South and West. I

603
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: will go in the proper order. I don't care in fact,

604
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: West will go first this round, that West will go

605
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: last again. Marcus our leadoff hitter, Mark get us going.

606
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lead off down in Tampa Bay. I think

607
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks, come on. You gotta look at what they

608
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: just did in the draft. They are going all in

609
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: on offense. It reminds me of when the when the

610
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: when the Peyton Manning led cults. That front office will

611
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: just get Peyton Manning more weapons every single offseason and

612
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: you hope the defense catches up. They get O. J.

613
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Howard tight end at pick nineteen. That is an absolute

614
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: value at that pick. They already have Cameron brad at

615
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: tight end. You can do a lot with that. Chris

616
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Godwin falls to them at wide receiver. I think he's

617
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: an interesting looking player too. You've got all sorts of

618
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: stuff going to Sean Jackson. Mike Evans is set to

619
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: have a huge year. There's talking about Doug Martin is

620
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: looking as good as he's ever looked after we didn't

621
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: know a couple of months ago what would happen with him.

622
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: Here's the question. Our last year's are this year's Falcons,

623
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: not even last year's falcons at this point? Are this

624
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: are the Bucks, last year's Falcons, and Atlanta just goes

625
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: get swept away by what's happening with the Tampa Bay

626
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: Buccaneers offense. WHOA, you are fired up about the Buckos

627
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: how to deliver it? I am fired up there. There's

628
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: a lot of reason to be there's a lot of

629
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: but I guess my one fear is there's always that

630
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: one team where people are absolutely blown away by their

631
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: offseason and maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't. But

632
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to make a case against how this team

633
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: won't take the next especially on the offensive side of

634
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: the ball. When you look at great offenses, it's usually

635
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: because they are stacked at every position. So you can't

636
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: just pay attention to the running game. You can't just

637
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: lock down the number one receiver, you can't just take

638
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: away the tight end. They have so many weapons, and

639
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: the Bucks are looking like one of those teams. They

640
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: might be a year away. Maybe the offensive line is

641
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: bottom third. Maybe O. J. Howard, just like most rookie

642
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: tight ends, is going to be inconsistent and he'll be

643
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: another year away, and Chris Godwin might be a year away.

644
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: So maybe they're just a very good offense instead of

645
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: like graduating to the Falcons of last year. But there's

646
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: so much promise here and I love the job that

647
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: Jason Light is doing with this team. I I agree,

648
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: and I think the offensive line, like a lot of teams,

649
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: is a huge problem. I think it was worse than

650
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: it was commonly believed last year. I mean, he was

651
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: always under pressure Jamis Winston last year, and that's part

652
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: of the reason I think he made so many mistakes,

653
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: forcing things because they couldn't protect him. One bit of

654
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: a trope alert came from Jason Light who said that

655
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: Doug Martin has quote looked as good as I've seen

656
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: him during the off season program. But maybe, just maybe

657
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: that's true because he's got his head on right and

658
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: he's moved past those problems. They still gotta figure out

659
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: what to do the first three weeks if they decided

660
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: to move forward Doug Martin, because he'll be suspended. But

661
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: just imagine if you get two thousand fifteen Doug Martin

662
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: with all these weapons and Jamis Winston in year three, Well,

663
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: my one question would be, what is what Winston's got

664
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: so much around him? Is he going to be the

665
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: guy that takes a step to a whole another level

666
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: of quarterback play. Yeah, he's gonna get better and Dan.

667
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: The trope is usually the players saying it about himself, right,

668
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: in this case it is a GM saying it. Cameron

669
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: break the tight end was also echoing that sentiment. Well,

670
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: you know when they said that all off season huge

671
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: hype was before the two thous everyone was saying, oh

672
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: my god, Doug Martin looks like a new guy. And

673
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: guess what, he was a new guy that you went over. Greg.

674
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: That was not right. You're breaking the rules of the game.

675
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: All right, I'm leaving now, stay here. It's okay, alright.

676
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: Panthers became the first team to win back to back

677
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: NFC South titles in the history of the division. In fact,

678
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: they won three went fifteen and one. Cam Newton got

679
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: the m v P. They were a superpower in the

680
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: NFL and then they have a disappointing season. But they

681
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: go out and they upgrade the offensive line, which was

682
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: ravaged by injuries last year. They picked up Julius Peppers

683
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: for a front seven that looks good. They round out

684
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: the secondary with Mike Adams at safety. They pick up

685
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel for some speed and playmaking ability.

686
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: Is everyone sleeping on the panthers potential to return to

687
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: superpower status in the NFC? I think so. And part

688
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: of the reason, and this is a good thing for

689
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: the entire division, is that this division was a little

690
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: bit of a train wreck a couple of years ago.

691
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: And now you've got you look up and down and

692
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: you say, I don't know the the Panthers will be

693
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: a very very good team and finished third in this division,

694
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: the sexy division. Say you're China, say, because you know,

695
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: I've been on this corner before, trying to talk up

696
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: the NFC South and Half. He used to get on

697
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler's radar. It's like, oh, well, it wasn't true that.

698
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: Well I saw the quarterbacks. You know you got quarterbacks

699
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: and you got a chance. I think people are sleeping

700
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: on it West because I trust that the defense is

701
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna be good. And if you have a defense with

702
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and enough playmakers around him, you're gonna be

703
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: in every game. Like they're not gonna teams are gonna

704
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: be blowing out the Panthers. They do have some question marks.

705
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: Matt Khalila left tackle, that's a problem. Their right tackle

706
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: situation with Michael or having concussion issues. Kelvin Benjamin is

707
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: overweight and doesn't appear to take his job seriously. Yeah,

708
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: that's a problem. This keeps popping up. Devin Funcchius didn't

709
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: exactly blow up the way that I thought he would.

710
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: Both of those guys drafted high disappeared in the second

711
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: half of last season. Well it's funny because they were drafted,

712
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, one after another, very similar guys, and then

713
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: they drafted the exact opposite type of offensive players in

714
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Samuel Maybe that makes them hard to defend.

715
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: I think this is a great spot for them to

716
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: be and also because I think by the time, because

717
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 1: there's another like what three or four months before games

718
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: start again. Still, so at some point the Panthers will

719
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: start getting talked up again in some circles. But at

720
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: the same time, there's just they're not dealing with that

721
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: crushing level of expectation or the Super Bowl hangover, which

722
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to in a second. They seem to be

723
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: a good spot for the bounce back season. I mean,

724
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: the bounce back needs to start with Cam Newton, right,

725
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's getting healthy and playing back. It's easy

726
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: for us to look at Cam Newton say, well, we

727
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: know he has the ability to be what he was

728
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: two years ago, but he has the same ability to

729
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: be what he was down the stretch last year. It's

730
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: on Mike Seula and Cam Newton. I mean, Cam Newton's

731
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to get healthy in time for the season.

732
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be easy. I think Mike Seula has

733
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: enough of these parts. I don't know if I always

734
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: have trusted Mike Seul. He's had some good moments. You

735
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: have to make it out. Are you putting them back

736
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: on your radar after you got squarely off the radar?

737
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: If he doesn't do it with this team, he's on

738
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: the radar, that's for sure. So yeah, he's on the radar.

739
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: It's like eating drops. Even Steve Spagnolan just switched spots

740
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: every other year onto the radar. Sehn Fox always there.

741
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: I said, super Bowl hangover, I believe in it. History

742
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: is instructive, and uh, the Falcons are coming off the

743
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: worst Super Bowl loss that there's ever been. Uh. We

744
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: don't need to get into the specifics there, but I

745
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: did like in the off season there was no panic

746
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: to their game planet scenes and that and that went

747
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: straight through the draft where they at the top of

748
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: their draft they added more kind of speedy, playmaker guys

749
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: on defense. He had Tack McKinley. Loved that tack McKinley,

750
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: I can not love me on Draft day number one

751
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: overall draft pick and locker rooms speeches, I would imagine exactly. Uh.

752
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: Duke Riley, I'm not familiar with his work, but he's

753
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: a highly touted UH defender. Uh. But no panic moves.

754
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: They didn't blow the thing up. Made some coaching staff changes,

755
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: of course. But do we think the Falcons, with the

756
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: potentially improved defense and still have Matt Ryan and that

757
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: great offense are hangover proof after their Super Bowl devastation.

758
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: I do, and I'll tell you why. When people put

759
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: out the list of coaches power rankings for coaches, Dan

760
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: quinn is so underrated. I believe he's already one of

761
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: the best coaches in the NFL. And what he's done

762
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: to build that defense, the speed and athleticism they've added,

763
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: and then you continue it with the guys you mentioned,

764
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: Tach McKinley and Duke Riley. They are a fast, playmaking

765
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: defense now they are for real and Kyle Shanahan. You

766
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: can't overstate the loss there. He was phenomenal. But they

767
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: have the talent on offense too. I just think when

768
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: you look at the roster now, you could go enter

769
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: last season and say, all right, their defense has holes.

770
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: It's one of the best rosters in the league now.

771
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: It's the opposite of what Gus Bradley could not do

772
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: when he left Seattle for Jacksonville. Where we know what

773
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: kind of scheme you want to run. You're even finding

774
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: players that fit it in theory, but they're not producing.

775
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: The Falcons very quickly have shown that they can draft

776
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: the kind of players that this coach needs and get

777
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: it done. And there's no reason to think they wouldn't grow.

778
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: Also that he he went out and he spoke to

779
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: tons of coaches in other fields that have been through

780
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: the same thing. I really do think emotionally they will

781
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: get over the Super Bowl loss. We'll see it was.

782
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: It was such a bad loss, and and you wonder

783
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: how it could linger. But you know that he was.

784
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: That's why if you're a head coach and you're coming

785
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: in a great position or a coordinator, a great position

786
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: of power in terms of picking a potential coaching job

787
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: always go to the place where the quarterbacks set. So

788
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: he got to go to Atlanta that had a franchise guy.

789
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: And then you're a defensive guy. You get to build

790
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: the defense and start, you know whereas Gus Bradley went

791
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: into a tire fire and Gus Bradley had a wide

792
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: birth to get that done. I don't think you can

793
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: make any logical case against this Falcons team other than

794
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, you lose Shanahan and Sarkisian, which we haven't

795
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: really talked about. We don't really know much about him,

796
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: who to me is a little bit of a red flag.

797
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: If a player had basically ruined his career because of

798
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: a drinking problem, we would have no problem talking about it,

799
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: and yet no one wants to talk about it when

800
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: it's the coordinator. There's really no logic against this team.

801
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: I do say that the defense has to step up,

802
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: it has to produce. It was not a good defense

803
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: last year and had a lot of potential. You got

804
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: better that. It wasn't good. It wasn't good. It wasn't good.

805
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: You gotta end at that moment, all right? Did we

806
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: get everybody in the NFC South? No, the Saints are

807
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: still going to come on. We've been doing this for

808
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: four hours and just the way it feels marathon like

809
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it though. All right that the New Orleans Saints, Wow,

810
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: this this division really is amazing. You can make a

811
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: case for any of them, because I think this New

812
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints team on offense has a chance to be

813
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: on that list. Did they make your list of the

814
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: five best offenses? West? They're overrated in your eyes because

815
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: you refuse to acknowledge that Ted ted Gin is not

816
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. Ted Gin is not Brandon Cooks. But I

817
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: love a backfield that's mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara.

818
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: You are cooking with gas there. Drew Brees, Michael Thomas

819
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: was a great rookie wide receiver, can be a Number

820
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: one Willie's needs good Brandon Coleman again, whatever their role players.

821
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Don't you think this team could just score enough to

822
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: be a fun Saints team again. Everyone seems to be

823
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: sick of this Saints team. I think they could be

824
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: a fun, scrappy team that does win. So I think

825
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: they were fun on offense last year and I think

826
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: they will be again. But the dynamic has not changed.

827
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: And it's a stale dynamic that annoys me and continues

828
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: to you're gonna go seven and nine, you're gonna go eight? Well,

829
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: because I think the offense could be so good that

830
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: it can make up for that. And how about it's

831
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: a bad dynamic. You have to score thirty eight points

832
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: a game to win eight games? All right? This second

833
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: throw for six thousand yards this year? Like what are

834
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: we doing? All right, let's just this secondary. Tell me

835
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 1: if it sounds passable. Delvin bro Kenny Vaccaro, Von Bell,

836
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore, and a little p J. Williams, that's pretty

837
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: good pass on bowl. That's a that could be a

838
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: top ten, top five type of secondary. It could stop

839
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: rookie cornerbacks struggle. That's one one rookie cornerback, but p J.

840
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: Williams not good. Stop ten secondary. Stop who's getting to

841
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: the cornerback on this secondaries helped up five pass rushers

842
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: which don't exist, and you get to the quarterback. The

843
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: secondary is gonna get banged in the end, especially in

844
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: this division. Why did they not address linebacker there so

845
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: because you had to have that shiny new Alvin Kamar

846
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: in your back. It's really crazy that they did not

847
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: address linebacker or or pass rusherman. They picked up some

848
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: slow ones in free agency. Hearing from you on this, Gregg,

849
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: because you should be frustrated with the Saints, because the

850
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: potential with what they have on offense would be wonderful

851
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: if they were to build a defense, but Mickey Loomis

852
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: refuses to do so. They're like the Packers, only less

853
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: um ceiling to me. But if they could just get

854
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: into that, if we're the eighteenth best defense, we can

855
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: win double digit games. But I don't know if they

856
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: can get there. They made a big jump last year

857
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: to number thirty outsiders because they were number thirty two

858
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: by a long shot, and now they're up to like thirty.

859
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: They gotta get to about him in the top ten.

860
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: What team do they did they stop in their own division?

861
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: What who did they hop scotch in their own division?

862
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: That's the question. If you can't seal yourself up with

863
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: two or three teams, we can't get that excited. Its

864
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: divisions loaded. I can't wait for the oral history down

865
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: the road where we find out who's really calling the shot,

866
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: Sean Payton or Mickey Loomis on these transactions and trades

867
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: and drafts. Greg Mark, what are your thoughts on Mickey

868
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: Loomis running two teams. It's obnoxious and it's not enough.

869
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, Now, finally the NFC West get to finally

870
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: get marked. Take on a Loomis Pelican. Yeah, I've not

871
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: hammered that home enough. It's really big. Disappointed we did

872
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: not get a chance. Maybe in another show, fresh idea,

873
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: whether it's a first or seventh round pick, Drafting the

874
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: right player is the key to success. That's six foot

875
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: four wide receivers, speedy edge rusher can take a team

876
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: to New Heights. Same goes for your business or department.

877
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: Finding the right talent makes all the difference. When you

878
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: need to hire, where do you go to scout talent?

904
00:47:53,280 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 1: It's new copy alright, that's who. Let's go to Seattle.

905
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: I look at Seattle. I actually think they had an

906
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: interesting draft. They kept trading down and they if you

907
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: look at what they're trying to do, they have completely

908
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: restocked their defensive backfield four dbs taken in the draft,

909
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: and they did their best to address the offensive line

910
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: in round two with the Ethan posting. I believe it's

911
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: how you say his name at center, and they got

912
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: another lineman down the road. Look at you're in a

913
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: division where you could probably be a middling team and

914
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: take sweep up with the other junk that's in the

915
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: NFC West right now. But the Seahawks, their offensive line

916
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: last year was an achilles heel. Have they done enough?

917
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: Are the weaknesses that exist at the end of last season.

918
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: Do we think they've done enough to return to that

919
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: NFC championship type team that can go twelve and four,

920
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: get like a home field advantage type things situation lined

921
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: up or are they fading? M hmm. I don't think

922
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: they're fading. I will never roll out the Seahawks. I

923
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: do question the offensive line. So he picked up a center,

924
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: which was your best offensive line last year with Justin

925
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: britt so I assume they're moving him to guard. But

926
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: you really, what did you do to improve your tackles?

927
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: You brought in Luke Jokal eight million dollars. Yeah, I'm

928
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: not convinced that this offensive line is any better than

929
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: they've been in the past, So you, to me, that's

930
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: still their achilles heel. But I don't I don't disrespect

931
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks by saying that they're fading. They're always in

932
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: the knicks. I feel like ever since they traded Jimmy

933
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: Graham from Max Younger, this has been something that's been

934
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: a year after year and they're not doing a good job.

935
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: Because this continues to be the conversation everyone has going

936
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: into September, is why aren't the Seattle Seahawks are doing

937
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: a better job protecting uh their quarterback Russell Wilson and

938
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: getting the running game going if that hasn't changed. And

939
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with a little sick of the Seahawks.

940
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: I hated them last year. I hate like they're sick

941
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: of themselves. Yeah, that you can make that argument, like

942
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: it does seem like it's things are maybe starting to

943
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: get a little stale, and maybe the Seahawks feel the

944
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: same way, and that's why this Richard Sherman drama has

945
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: been going on that maybe they need to spice things

946
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: up a little bit, but they seem to be going

947
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction a little bit. I think they

948
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: see a big turnover happening soon that Richard Sherman and

949
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: Camp Chancellor is a good chance they're not on the

950
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: team as early as next year, so they draft a

951
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: couple of guys. A lot of things went wrong for

952
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: them last year though, I mean, they didn't have Rawles

953
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: healthy for too long or price procise, and now you

954
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: bring in Lacey and the receivers were a little banged

955
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: up last year. Lock It obviously went down in a

956
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: big spots, Like a lot of things went wrong for them,

957
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: and they were still okay. I would never rule them out,

958
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: but to me, to me, it seems less like a

959
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: roster problem and more of like a metaphysical thing, just

960
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: you know, which is like a team team unity and

961
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: teamwork and and wanting to be great after being at

962
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: the top, because that's that's tough to do. That was

963
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: supposed to be their strength. They were. They were the

964
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 1: team unity team. But maybe it's a if. They never

965
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: really wanted to trade Richard Sherman. It was about, hey man,

966
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: we need you to be on the right side of this.

967
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: I tried to make the argument a month ago that

968
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have missed their window because they lost a

969
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: lot in free agency. Some key players like Carson Palmer

970
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald are getting older and are not as

971
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: good as they were a couple of years ago. So

972
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: they had a pretty good draft. But why should I

973
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: believe that they fixed their two biggest problem areas, which

974
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: were cornerback number two cornerback and the offensive line. Why

975
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: should I believe those are not going to do them

976
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: in in the long run. Well, I would start with

977
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: the fact that they in a Again we've said this

978
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: over and over with these around the league swirls. But

979
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: they picked too offensive linemen round four, Round five, A

980
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: garden and tackle. I don't know it's it wasn't up top,

981
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: but they're at least addressing it. They're not ignoring the

982
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: problem when we were told that the offensive line was

983
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: terrible this class. When you take a guy in the

984
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: fourth and fifth round, what are the chances one or

985
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: totally Some some teams like said we need lineman and

986
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: they took none. They're at least trying. It's just about minimizing,

987
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 1: like how bad it is. They think d J Humphries

988
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: will be better at left tackle. They're gonna move Jared

989
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 1: Bell dude right tackle. I don't know that they would

990
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: seem to be in a position to know that better

991
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: than me, whether that's first they've mis evaluated d J.

992
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: Humphries for two straight years, right, I think the secondary

993
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: has some potential. I mean, having Buddha Baker, you think

994
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: you can get a bit much better year from Honey Badger.

995
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: You're you're certainly hopeful of that that Justin Bethel played

996
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: better at the end of last year, that you that

997
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams gets better in his second year. I think

998
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the things we liked about the Cardinals

999
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: are still there, Like it's just minimizing. Maybe there is

1000
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: no answer to your question, like they're not gonna win

1001
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl because of those, But I think they

1002
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: can be a good team, especially in this lousy division.

1003
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 1: David Johnson was as good as anyone in the league

1004
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: last year, right, you kind of need him to be

1005
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: at that similar level because now I don't know what

1006
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: the passing game is. Something you could trust the way

1007
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: you could in pass years you can't. And Michael Floyd's

1008
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: gone on. Larry Fitzgerald doesn't make plays down the field

1009
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: anymore and average under tan yards of reception, which is

1010
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: one of the three or four worst. Face It's still

1011
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: he's very good in in possession situations, but he's not

1012
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: a playmaker to the extent that he was. The offenses

1013
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: we're seeing that are blowing up now, just like we

1014
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: talked about with the Bucks and the Falcons, you have

1015
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 1: so many different places to go to attack a defense.

1016
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't like. I don't like offenses. Johnson is incredible,

1017
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: but where it's all coming from one buy this midseason

1018
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: stat where one guy has more ball production than anyone

1019
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: in the league. It's like that's also sometimes the sign

1020
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: of an unhealthy offense. Maybe the key to their team

1021
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: is really John Brown and J. J. Nelson playing well,

1022
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 1: having good seasons, And I don't know if that's gonna happen.

1023
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: They're talented guys, because I don't think we can underplay

1024
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: the David Johnson thing. I think he's on track to

1025
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Fame type of guy and right

1026
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: in the middle of his prime, so that is a

1027
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: huge deal. Well, and then you have Honeting Badgers. The

1028
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: other part of this, like we will probably know by

1029
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: the end of September. If we're ever gonna see that

1030
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: guy again, second major knee surgery. If he gets back

1031
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: to his old form, we'll get a trope on that

1032
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: very soon. I'm thinking, who's up my turn? Yes, my turn?

1033
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: Forty Niners. They didn't take a quarterback until the third round.

1034
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 1: See j Beathard. Yes, I you could also say beat hard.

1035
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: I think he is. Is he the grandson of Bobby

1036
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: bette nephew? Just relate one of the best general managers

1037
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: in NFL history. Maybe becomes something, maybe he doesn't, but

1038
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: we'll see. But after collecting a bunch of some day

1039
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: extra day to draft picks and not addressing quarterback until

1040
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: beat Hard, all right, are they the ones that are

1041
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,760
Speaker 1: all in for hashtags? Scam for Sam? All this hope

1042
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: around the Niners and some surprising success for John Lynch?

1043
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: According to some people? Um, are they the ones that

1044
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: are really lined up for this? When you look at

1045
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: Shanahan specifically, he is so super loyal to pass quarterbacks

1046
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: that he's worked with where wherever he's stopped, He's brought

1047
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: in guys well passed their prime just to be on

1048
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: the roster that if he really feels that next offseason's

1049
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: quarterback class also includes Kirk Cousins. Then I would say

1050
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: that he would have a tough decision because I think

1051
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: he really seems to side with the guys he knows

1052
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: will fitness system that he knows will be productive right away.

1053
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they're necessarily scanning. They're certainly not trying

1054
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: to lose, and I don't think they're necessarily going to

1055
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: be one of the three or four worst teams in

1056
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: the league. It's a well, it's a hard team to

1057
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: predict because I think they have one of the best

1058
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: offensive coaches in the league, but allowsy offensive roster and

1059
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: then a total unknown coaching their defense. And honestly, if

1060
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: you look at their starters on defense, it's not bad.

1061
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of an average defense. It's not a bad defense.

1062
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some potential really at every level, maybe

1063
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 1: even better an average talent. So I kind of think

1064
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: if Shanahan can cook up some sneaky ardis with this

1065
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: team has a chance to to win six games and

1066
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: have everyone talking about, Wow, what a great job by Shanahan.

1067
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: I like that. But we've got an update to your

1068
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: scam for Sam. Let's we're now hearing that Wyoming quarterback

1069
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the favorite to go number one overall.

1070
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: That's fine. Now you got Josh Rosen from u c

1071
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: L A Zen for Rosen, scam for Sam. What's this

1072
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: guy's name? Josh Allen, Fallon for Allan Flin Brallen reach.

1073
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, give me got Lamar Jackson. You gave me

1074
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: a break. You get a nice Jewish boy like Rosen

1075
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 1: playing quarterback in New York City? Well what did total

1076
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: see change? And all these teams that have never had

1077
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are going to get them, and the Patriots and

1078
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: the rest are gonna crumble. We totally forgot to talk

1079
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: about the Yeah. Oh anyway, so yeah, uh that is

1080
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: that is if they if they were hashtag scam for

1081
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: Sam Solomon, Thomas arc Armstead, DeForrest Buckner, Aaron Lynch, Navarro Boman,

1082
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: shut shut up no more. Some players, Oh you can't

1083
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: say some players. I was talking about this next team

1084
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: there are okay, watch it nice hit him with some

1085
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: Morrison trying to scam the system. I think the more

1086
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: likely team if it wasn't for the presence of Wade

1087
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: Phillips to be scamming for Sam. And still I think

1088
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: they're going to be in the mix. Is the Los

1089
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Their draft remind so much of previous weren't

1090
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: they already off? Why why have they earned the benefit

1091
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: of the doubt. That's let's say, Cooper Cup or their

1092
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: second round tight end Gerald Everett are gonna be any

1093
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: different than the millions of their wide receivers and tight

1094
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: ends that they've drafted over the years that have not

1095
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: panned out well, Because I think one thing under the

1096
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher era there was a very clear it was

1097
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: sending it out into the ether was quite a bit much.

1098
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean it, there was such a clear issue with

1099
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: developing offensive talent that started at your off on the

1100
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. It started with the fact they drafted four

1101
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: thousand wide receivers, not one of them developed that. We

1102
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: saw Todd Gurley for multiple reasons, fall off a cliff

1103
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: last year. Everything under Fisher didn't turn to gold, it

1104
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: turned to the opposite. Yeah, unlike my flamboyant friend Greg Rosenfeller,

1105
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: I see reasons to like Cooper Cup. Okay, he he

1106
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: might have played at a small school, but every time

1107
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: he played against a big school, he dominated, and a

1108
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of guys liked him as as one of the

1109
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: guy who could develop into one of the best slot

1110
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. Gerald Everett seems like an athletic

1111
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: move tight end, and I think you're similar to Tyler

1112
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: Higbee who they just drafted, right, but also similar to

1113
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: maybe Jordan Reed, who Sean McVeigh had in Washington, and

1114
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: I think you're starting to see his fingerprints on this

1115
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: roster a little bit. I think the the I guess

1116
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm answering your my own question would be the coaching

1117
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: staff would be just much better. I mean, that's what

1118
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: they're be I think so. I think that's what they

1119
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: defensively and offense. I mean, it would be fascinating with

1120
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: this whole first round draft thing if they wound up

1121
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: with the number one pick, because in theory, you're not

1122
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: going to draft another quarterback. You've got to stick with Goff,

1123
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean in theory. But then it becomes who can

1124
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: offer the most the most to the rams. You could

1125
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: change your whole franchise by someone giving you a giant bounty,

1126
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: and it won't be the Jets. It wasn't so long

1127
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: ago that we were talking about Scoff for Goff. You know,

1128
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: everyone in the football Cognis sent d tells you how

1129
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: little of a sure thing? This next it was like, uh,

1130
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's time to be arid. For Jared, it

1131
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,959
Speaker 1: wasn't so long, but he talked about those guys until

1132
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: the March before the draft. I just made those up.

1133
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: But uh, if he stinks, by the way, if he stinks,

1134
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: if he if Jerry got stinks, they will absolutely be

1135
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: in the market to take a quarterback number one if

1136
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: they if they go in the tank, because I would

1137
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: think under a new regime there's not a lot of

1138
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: loyalty there for him anymore. Drafted golf. Yeah, but he'll

1139
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: be gone maybe. I mean, what do you have to

1140
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: if they go to and fourteen again? You're telling me

1141
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: that the Mr Hansom still gonna be there. We'll see.

1142
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: I guess well, it's wait, huge offs, a huge season

1143
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: for golf. Wait. Wayne Phillips has got some players to

1144
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: deal with with Donald and Ogletree and so did the

1145
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: last way. Yeah, but he wasn't wait four Wait. Phil

1146
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: liked him this morning. Waite Phillips is a Hall of

1147
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Fame type of coordinator. We did it, did we are

1148
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: we done? There's a fifth division. We did it. We

1149
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: did it around the Canadian Football League, thirty two teams

1150
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: and two shows, everyone getting all time. Because that's the

1151
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: type of show we don't you know, don't come at

1152
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: us and the pages of the that person has more

1153
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: pressing issues, then it's complained. Maybe he stopped smoking because

1154
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: for two shows a year, we give every team perfect

1155
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: amount of time. We could do We could do that again.

1156
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: You know, we should do another show right after this show.

1157
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Just do it all again and then integrate different takes

1158
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: and we'll put Sydney into an edit bay for like

1159
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: seventeen hours, splicing together like multiple hours of shows into

1160
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 1: one compact, one hour program. What do you think, Well, yeah,

1161
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: I love staying here seventeen hours. She deserves better. We

1162
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: will be back. We'll be back on Monday. How about that.

1163
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Monday with three shows, back to

1164
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: our normal schedule. Now that we're out of the the

1165
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:06,560

Speaker 1: get back to it and we'll give you three shows

1167
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: a week, probably through June. About get into the June

1168
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: area and then through June, well you know into June.

1169
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Well we'll figure it out probably, Yeah, through those mini

1170
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: camps kind of mid June. Let me dial it back,

1171
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: pull back, pull back the reins, and then once camp

1172
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: start will be back to three shows a week. But

1173
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so we got a lot more coming for

1174
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: you guys, and thank you to everyone that listens. And again,

1175
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: remember what I said on Tuesday. We want to get

1176
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: that subreddit up to five thousand subscribers. It's not that hard.

1177
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: It's all I get to go there and and craft,

1178
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: uh carefully written screeds about our show. Just to go

1179
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: sign up for the reddit, which is a nice fun website,

1180
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: and and hit the old subscribe button for around the NFL.

1181
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: We get to five thousands, the five thousand subscriber on

1182
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: the subred it's gonna get something special. And I will

1183
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: leave it to Greeby to be able to calculate and

1184
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: figure out who number five thousand would be. Seems like

1185
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,439
Speaker 1: a tough job, kind of parachuting this into his lap

1186
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: without any prior discussion, but I know he's very good

1187
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: at what he does over there. He could also hand

1188
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:23,479
Speaker 1: us and we wouldn't argue. Five thousand subscriber gets one

1189
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: of our family's Super Bowl tickets from next year. More specifically,

1190
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: Greg's okay, how about a ticket to the Metropolitan Ball,

1191
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: the met Ball, big deal, fashion industries, oscars. People say again, celebrity,

1194
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: reddit board cares about. We'll figure it out. That's a good,

1195
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: good brainstormy on the fly, thrown against the wall. Greg.

1196
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a bad idea. But let's

1197
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: just narrow this down and really get something. Are all

1198
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: the same, and then we have a we have a

1199
