Yeah, if you want to retire, you 16 00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:02,188 Speaker 1: can do it right now on our show. And we 17 00:01:02,308 --> 00:01:05,188 Speaker 1: love the press. Well, I actually spoke about that and 18 00:01:05,508 --> 00:01:07,148 Speaker 1: they told me I couldn't get paid to do it. 19 00:01:07,228 --> 00:01:11,108 Speaker 1: And that doesn't work. Oh blummer, All right, deaf kick 20 00:01:11,108 --> 00:01:14,068 Speaker 1: it off for us. Do your thing. Here. Yeah, I 21 00:01:15,348 --> 00:01:17,428 Speaker 1: love the enthusiasm. He doesn't even go time for though. 22 00:01:17,468 --> 00:01:20,148 Speaker 1: It's just lead block to deaf. Tom Pellicero, you are 23 00:01:20,188 --> 00:01:22,588 Speaker 1: the lead block because you're already in Indianapolis setting the 24 00:01:22,628 --> 00:01:25,028 Speaker 1: scene for us talking quarterbacks, guys that will and will 25 00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:27,868 Speaker 1: not participate. Tom, it's so good. There's so much going on, 26 00:01:27,908 --> 00:01:29,908 Speaker 1: and of course the Bears of the number one pick, 27 00:01:29,988 --> 00:01:31,868 Speaker 1: and the thought is they'll either trade the pick or 28 00:01:31,908 --> 00:01:33,748 Speaker 1: they'll take one of these defensive guys, or who knows, 29 00:01:33,748 --> 00:01:36,348 Speaker 1: they will take a quarterback. But the defensive stars in 30 00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:39,748 Speaker 1: this draft, there are some top heavy names. What can 31 00:01:39,788 --> 00:01:41,748 Speaker 1: we expect to see from them at the combine? As 32 00:01:41,788 --> 00:01:43,828 Speaker 1: he just mentioned the quarterbacks, Well, let's start out with 33 00:01:43,828 --> 00:01:47,588 Speaker 1: Will Anderson Junior from Alabama, their star edge rusher. My 34 00:01:47,668 --> 00:01:50,548 Speaker 1: understanding is he is going to participate in at least 35 00:01:50,548 --> 00:01:53,588 Speaker 1: some of the drills in testing here in Indianapolis. It's 36 00:01:53,628 --> 00:01:56,588 Speaker 1: interesting Anderson is a pass rusher, but he's in the 37 00:01:56,788 --> 00:01:59,788 Speaker 1: linebacker group here. We've all seen some of the drills 38 00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:03,668 Speaker 1: that may not be exactly translating for a player who's 39 00:02:03,748 --> 00:02:06,188 Speaker 1: used to going down. He'll rushing the passer all the time, 40 00:02:06,188 --> 00:02:08,548 Speaker 1: and so we'll see exactly what Anderson does, but he 41 00:02:08,588 --> 00:02:10,188 Speaker 1: will be out on the field. A couple of guys 42 00:02:10,228 --> 00:02:13,988 Speaker 1: who will not participate Texas Tech Edge Tyree Wilson, still 43 00:02:14,028 --> 00:02:16,428 Speaker 1: recovering from his fractured foot. He got out of the 44 00:02:16,468 --> 00:02:19,348 Speaker 1: boot about a month ago, really started ramping up his 45 00:02:19,428 --> 00:02:22,348 Speaker 1: workouts just two weeks ago. He may do the bench 46 00:02:22,388 --> 00:02:24,428 Speaker 1: press here. That's about the only thing you can prepare 47 00:02:24,428 --> 00:02:26,468 Speaker 1: to do when you're spending a couple of months in 48 00:02:26,508 --> 00:02:28,708 Speaker 1: a walking boot. But as for everything else, he is 49 00:02:28,748 --> 00:02:31,508 Speaker 1: going to wait until his pro day and then Jalen Carter, 50 00:02:31,588 --> 00:02:34,228 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle from Georgia, another one of the top 51 00:02:34,308 --> 00:02:37,588 Speaker 1: candidates potentially for that number one pick. His agent informed 52 00:02:37,628 --> 00:02:40,508 Speaker 1: teams he also is going to wait for his pro day. 53 00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:44,068 Speaker 1: No injury for him, but just a matter of waiting 54 00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:46,828 Speaker 1: and being in that different environment back on campus, guests, 55 00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:49,468 Speaker 1: it's good to know Tom who will will not see 56 00:02:49,508 --> 00:02:52,748 Speaker 1: Will Anderson is an electric player to watch. His personality 57 00:02:52,908 --> 00:02:55,748 Speaker 1: is unbelievable. His smile is as big as his shoulders, 58 00:02:55,788 --> 00:02:59,308 Speaker 1: and that's a really big smile because he's a massive dude. Tom. Hello, Sarah, Thanks, 59 00:02:59,348 --> 00:03:01,228 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you in a little bit. There is 60 00:03:01,228 --> 00:03:04,388 Speaker 1: no offseason for these teams the combines. This week, free 61 00:03:04,188 --> 00:03:07,868 Speaker 1: agency frenzy hits right after that. Teams have some things 62 00:03:07,868 --> 00:03:10,548 Speaker 1: they got to figure out, all right, But as the 63 00:03:10,588 --> 00:03:14,708 Speaker 1: next week unfolds, Peter one team that has the most 64 00:03:14,748 --> 00:03:17,588 Speaker 1: to figure out. Looking ahead, I think the New York 65 00:03:17,668 --> 00:03:21,108 Speaker 1: Jets are fascinating this week because they have made it 66 00:03:21,348 --> 00:03:23,988 Speaker 1: known that they are in the market for a quarterback 67 00:03:24,028 --> 00:03:26,428 Speaker 1: and a veteran one and someone that's going to elevate them. 68 00:03:26,428 --> 00:03:29,428 Speaker 1: They won seven games with putrid quarterback play last year 69 00:03:29,428 --> 00:03:32,508 Speaker 1: on the whole, and that's nothing against Zach Wilson. He 70 00:03:32,588 --> 00:03:35,188 Speaker 1: might have been just an unfortunate circumstance. They just were 71 00:03:35,228 --> 00:03:39,068 Speaker 1: not good at the quarterback position. So now they've inquired 72 00:03:39,108 --> 00:03:41,508 Speaker 1: about other quarterbacks. They obviously had a great meeting with 73 00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:43,548 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, But like, what are the Jets going to do? 74 00:03:43,548 --> 00:03:46,668 Speaker 1: Do you just offer Derek Carr a massive deal and say, hey, 75 00:03:47,188 --> 00:03:49,188 Speaker 1: we want you, you're our guy, or do you wait 76 00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:51,428 Speaker 1: on Rogers or do you wait on Lamar Jackson and 77 00:03:51,468 --> 00:03:53,468 Speaker 1: see how that thing plays out. There is a scenario 78 00:03:54,148 --> 00:03:58,668 Speaker 1: where Lamar Jackson is franchise tagged by the Baltimore Ravens, 79 00:03:58,668 --> 00:04:01,228 Speaker 1: given the non exclusive tag, So the Jets can trade, 80 00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:03,508 Speaker 1: and the Jets might have to mortgage their entire future 81 00:04:03,668 --> 00:04:06,828 Speaker 1: and give Jackson, you know, all that guaranteed money that 82 00:04:06,868 --> 00:04:09,268 Speaker 1: he wants from Baltimore to come to the Jets. Do 83 00:04:09,308 --> 00:04:11,748 Speaker 1: you want that? Do you want to wait for that? 84 00:04:12,468 --> 00:04:14,508 Speaker 1: Or do you want to just get this thing settled 85 00:04:14,508 --> 00:04:16,108 Speaker 1: to be like, all right, we've got Derek car don't 86 00:04:16,188 --> 00:04:17,708 Speaker 1: way for free agency? We go way from the draft. 87 00:04:18,028 --> 00:04:20,268 Speaker 1: The Jets are so loaded on both sides of the 88 00:04:20,268 --> 00:04:24,268 Speaker 1: ball now, every position except offensive line and quarterback. I'll 89 00:04:24,268 --> 00:04:26,108 Speaker 1: go one step further with this. You know, we knew 90 00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:29,268 Speaker 1: they hired Hackett, who is the Rogers whisper over the break. 91 00:04:29,268 --> 00:04:32,348 Speaker 1: They hired Todd Downing, who was the former Tennessee Titans 92 00:04:32,388 --> 00:04:35,468 Speaker 1: offensive corner but spent three years with Derek Carr in Oakland. 93 00:04:35,628 --> 00:04:38,748 Speaker 1: So he's the Derek Carr whisperers. So you've got someone 94 00:04:38,828 --> 00:04:41,108 Speaker 1: there who could speak to Derek Carr and knows Derek 95 00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:43,708 Speaker 1: cars like and when he's for a bidge and all that. 96 00:04:43,828 --> 00:04:46,028 Speaker 1: So the Jets coaching staff they're not going to be 97 00:04:46,108 --> 00:04:48,228 Speaker 1: at the combine. They've already tell you know, I don't 98 00:04:48,228 --> 00:04:50,348 Speaker 1: know if that's news or whatever. They're not going they're 99 00:04:50,388 --> 00:04:52,588 Speaker 1: gonna be busy doing the work in their building and 100 00:04:52,628 --> 00:04:54,348 Speaker 1: focusing on that, and they're not gonna be out drinking 101 00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:57,468 Speaker 1: and eating and parting their way through Indianapolis. They're gonna 102 00:04:57,468 --> 00:04:58,908 Speaker 1: be getting to work. But I will tell you this, 103 00:04:58,948 --> 00:05:01,508 Speaker 1: they're gm Joe Douglas will be there, and Joe Douglas 104 00:05:01,508 --> 00:05:03,108 Speaker 1: and his team will be there, and those scouts will 105 00:05:03,148 --> 00:05:05,108 Speaker 1: be there. And I'm curious if they're working in a 106 00:05:05,148 --> 00:05:06,788 Speaker 1: trade or if they're sitting pretty on their hands there, 107 00:05:06,868 --> 00:05:08,428 Speaker 1: just gonna let this thing forward. It does the New 108 00:05:08,508 --> 00:05:10,188 Speaker 1: York Jets. Are they gonna be the first team to say, 109 00:05:10,228 --> 00:05:12,228 Speaker 1: you know what, we're putting all our cards on the table, 110 00:05:12,428 --> 00:05:14,828 Speaker 1: Derek Carr's our guy, let's go. Or are they gonna 111 00:05:14,828 --> 00:05:17,508 Speaker 1: wait on maybe a bigger fish. And that bigger fish 112 00:05:17,588 --> 00:05:20,068 Speaker 1: might be way more costly picks and the like than 113 00:05:20,468 --> 00:05:22,588 Speaker 1: just signing Derek Carr for what he wants, Which is 114 00:05:22,628 --> 00:05:25,588 Speaker 1: interesting because that Jets defense played so well last dazing. 115 00:05:25,748 --> 00:05:28,028 Speaker 1: They might sit there like, just give us a quarterback 116 00:05:28,148 --> 00:05:30,428 Speaker 1: and we'll do the rest. But the team I'm interested 117 00:05:30,428 --> 00:05:33,388 Speaker 1: in is the Raiders. Very similar situation. You get Josh 118 00:05:33,468 --> 00:05:35,868 Speaker 1: McDonald's in there last year, you get Dave Ziggler, they 119 00:05:35,948 --> 00:05:38,828 Speaker 1: make moves. You get Davante Adams, you signed Chandler Jones. 120 00:05:38,908 --> 00:05:41,468 Speaker 1: You went to the playoffs last year. Now it's time 121 00:05:41,668 --> 00:05:45,028 Speaker 1: all offseason. Jason and myself, we were at the broadcast bootcamp. 122 00:05:45,268 --> 00:05:47,548 Speaker 1: This was every topic. Who's gonna win? Then AFC West, 123 00:05:47,628 --> 00:05:49,668 Speaker 1: all of these teams. The Raiders go out there and 124 00:05:49,708 --> 00:05:51,988 Speaker 1: they don't have a good football season. It just doesn't 125 00:05:51,988 --> 00:05:54,668 Speaker 1: go well for him. Now what's next? Who's gonna play 126 00:05:54,748 --> 00:05:56,908 Speaker 1: quarterback next year? Is it gonna be Aaron Rodgers? And 127 00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:59,068 Speaker 1: if it's not Aaron Rodgers, do we gotta go sign 128 00:05:59,188 --> 00:06:01,348 Speaker 1: Jacob's back? The leading Russia? Do we have to make 129 00:06:01,388 --> 00:06:03,748 Speaker 1: sure we have the running game back. So now I'm 130 00:06:03,788 --> 00:06:06,428 Speaker 1: sitting here looking this team. You had a crazy offseason 131 00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:09,428 Speaker 1: last year, all season acquirements and free agency trades. Do 132 00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:12,508 Speaker 1: they do the same thing this year? Renthrow Waller, there 133 00:06:12,508 --> 00:06:14,988 Speaker 1: were rumors around the trade deadline they would get traded. 134 00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:17,148 Speaker 1: Are they now traded this summer? Do they try to 135 00:06:17,148 --> 00:06:19,988 Speaker 1: go in a different direction? How many moves is too 136 00:06:19,988 --> 00:06:22,308 Speaker 1: many moves? This team is a team I think the 137 00:06:22,508 --> 00:06:26,028 Speaker 1: fan base, the public, everyone expected to see as a 138 00:06:26,148 --> 00:06:29,188 Speaker 1: quote unquote contender. Now you have to not just make 139 00:06:29,228 --> 00:06:31,588 Speaker 1: the playoffs this year. You have to be that contender. 140 00:06:31,828 --> 00:06:33,868 Speaker 1: You have to be that team in December. Everyone's like, 141 00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:35,868 Speaker 1: this team has a chance of being the super Bowl 142 00:06:35,868 --> 00:06:37,948 Speaker 1: this year. So I'm very interested to see what do 143 00:06:38,028 --> 00:06:40,668 Speaker 1: the Raiders do. You're in Vegas. I played in Vegas 144 00:06:40,668 --> 00:06:43,068 Speaker 1: this year. They had tea paint at the halftime. It 145 00:06:43,108 --> 00:06:46,108 Speaker 1: was exciting. People want to see wins. They want to 146 00:06:46,148 --> 00:06:48,348 Speaker 1: see everything when you come. When you go to Vegas, 147 00:06:48,428 --> 00:06:50,588 Speaker 1: you don't want to remember what happened in Vegas other 148 00:06:50,628 --> 00:06:57,908 Speaker 1: than the Raiders won. I'm in love with the You're 149 00:06:57,948 --> 00:06:59,748 Speaker 1: lucky Kyle's not here because he'd want to talk about 150 00:06:59,748 --> 00:07:01,468 Speaker 1: that final play of that game. That was also I 151 00:07:01,548 --> 00:07:03,068 Speaker 1: do want to ask you. You were with Jimmy and 152 00:07:03,148 --> 00:07:06,348 Speaker 1: Josh together and McDaniels. Jimmy is gonna be a free agent? 153 00:07:06,548 --> 00:07:08,868 Speaker 1: Is that? Like everyone always said that, like Jimmy and 154 00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:10,868 Speaker 1: Josh of this special connection. Is that a real thing 155 00:07:10,988 --> 00:07:12,828 Speaker 1: or is that? I have no idea. I'll tell you 156 00:07:12,828 --> 00:07:16,228 Speaker 1: the true They worked well together when Tom had to 157 00:07:16,268 --> 00:07:20,508 Speaker 1: face this suspension obvious BS two. But um once that happened, 158 00:07:20,628 --> 00:07:23,068 Speaker 1: Jimmy went out there throwing the ball all around the field. 159 00:07:23,148 --> 00:07:24,708 Speaker 1: But it was a game and I hadn't call that 160 00:07:24,788 --> 00:07:28,468 Speaker 1: bs on this network. But you guys are you guys 161 00:07:28,468 --> 00:07:35,468 Speaker 1: are played by this? Yeah, Jacoby Bricent played for Josh 162 00:07:35,548 --> 00:07:37,508 Speaker 1: McDaniels too. He's a free agent as well, and I 163 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:39,708 Speaker 1: think to your point, he's gonna text me and be mad. 164 00:07:39,548 --> 00:07:42,868 Speaker 1: I say, for the Raiders, when you get rid of 165 00:07:42,908 --> 00:07:45,028 Speaker 1: a guy like Derek Carr, you can say whatever you 166 00:07:45,068 --> 00:07:47,948 Speaker 1: want to say about him, has nine years with the Raiders, 167 00:07:47,948 --> 00:07:50,228 Speaker 1: and say he was his ceiling was only this high 168 00:07:50,268 --> 00:07:52,908 Speaker 1: the playoffs, blah blah blah. But when you decide to 169 00:07:52,948 --> 00:07:56,028 Speaker 1: move on from him, you better have a guy ready. 170 00:07:56,068 --> 00:07:58,548 Speaker 1: So for a Ziggler and for McDaniels, this is a 171 00:07:58,628 --> 00:08:01,308 Speaker 1: huge offseason. But I'm gonna start where we started off 172 00:08:01,348 --> 00:08:04,908 Speaker 1: this segment. The Chicago Bears. At this point, the talk 173 00:08:04,908 --> 00:08:07,708 Speaker 1: of the conversation, the number one overall pick. Have you 174 00:08:07,748 --> 00:08:10,628 Speaker 1: found your quarterback? Do you keep justin Fields and now 175 00:08:10,668 --> 00:08:13,788 Speaker 1: building around him, or do you maybe trade justin Fields 176 00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:15,668 Speaker 1: and go to a guy like Bryce Young at your 177 00:08:15,668 --> 00:08:18,988 Speaker 1: first overall pick. Do you trade the first pick and say, hey, 178 00:08:19,028 --> 00:08:21,228 Speaker 1: now we can just get more draft pix and continue 179 00:08:21,228 --> 00:08:24,468 Speaker 1: to build through the draft and Justin Fields looked good 180 00:08:24,548 --> 00:08:26,588 Speaker 1: last season. I mean, he ran the ball well. You 181 00:08:26,588 --> 00:08:28,388 Speaker 1: can see when he had protection he was able to 182 00:08:28,428 --> 00:08:30,708 Speaker 1: make throws down the field and do some things. And 183 00:08:30,948 --> 00:08:33,588 Speaker 1: this is without a ton of talent around him. Yes, 184 00:08:33,828 --> 00:08:36,868 Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney is exciting to watch. Cole Commet has some 185 00:08:36,908 --> 00:08:38,748 Speaker 1: plays for them, But this is a team that if 186 00:08:38,748 --> 00:08:41,308 Speaker 1: you build around a guy like Justin Fields, maybe he 187 00:08:41,348 --> 00:08:44,628 Speaker 1: can make a leap that a guy like Jalen Hurts 188 00:08:44,668 --> 00:08:48,308 Speaker 1: made this past season for the Philadelphia Eagles. So for me, 189 00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:50,228 Speaker 1: I want to see what Chicago does. They have a 190 00:08:50,268 --> 00:08:52,548 Speaker 1: ton of cap space when free agency starts to be 191 00:08:52,588 --> 00:08:54,588 Speaker 1: able to make a ton of moves, but the first 192 00:08:54,588 --> 00:08:56,708 Speaker 1: thing that they have to decide is who's going to 193 00:08:56,748 --> 00:08:58,628 Speaker 1: be the quarterback and what they're gonna do with that. 194 00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:01,148 Speaker 1: And I know Ryan Poles didn't draft Justin Fields, but 195 00:09:01,228 --> 00:09:04,068 Speaker 1: at this point you had an entire season to evaluate him. 196 00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:07,188 Speaker 1: Whether they drafted or not is irrelevant. You're evaluating him. 197 00:09:07,228 --> 00:09:09,508 Speaker 1: You're seeing all right. I'm watching Justin Fields over the 198 00:09:09,508 --> 00:09:12,268 Speaker 1: past season and now I'm watching Bryce Young in college. 199 00:09:12,308 --> 00:09:15,268 Speaker 1: Do I think when he comes into the league, translation wise, 200 00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,748 Speaker 1: do I think his ceiling is hired? In justin fields. 201 00:09:17,868 --> 00:09:20,068 Speaker 1: That's what they have to determine to see what their 202 00:09:20,108 --> 00:09:22,468 Speaker 1: next move is going to be. And it's a fascinating 203 00:09:22,468 --> 00:09:24,868 Speaker 1: one for me because you look at how Chicago ended 204 00:09:24,948 --> 00:09:27,348 Speaker 1: up with that number one pick of what transpire for 205 00:09:27,428 --> 00:09:30,348 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and now they have decisions to make 206 00:09:30,388 --> 00:09:32,668 Speaker 1: on what they do next. It's fascinating to look at 207 00:09:32,708 --> 00:09:34,868 Speaker 1: the line in the sand with all thirty two teams. 208 00:09:34,868 --> 00:09:36,908 Speaker 1: You can clearly draw a line with the teams that 209 00:09:36,988 --> 00:09:38,868 Speaker 1: have an identity and the ones that two minds. And 210 00:09:38,908 --> 00:09:40,188 Speaker 1: I think we all just went around the table and 211 00:09:40,268 --> 00:09:43,228 Speaker 1: list of teams that we just can't quite figure them out. 212 00:09:43,308 --> 00:09:45,988 Speaker 1: And the next week and the draft and free agency 213 00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:48,628 Speaker 1: will help us understand what their identity is. No one 214 00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:50,428 Speaker 1: has less of an identity I think than the Houston 215 00:09:50,468 --> 00:09:53,348 Speaker 1: Texans going into this offseason. And that's okay because now 216 00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:55,388 Speaker 1: you have a clean slate. You have a brand new, 217 00:09:55,508 --> 00:09:58,868 Speaker 1: unbelievable coach, head coach Demiko Ryans, who was the namesake 218 00:09:58,948 --> 00:10:01,068 Speaker 1: of your franchise when he was playing. He brings a 219 00:10:01,148 --> 00:10:03,468 Speaker 1: defensive mindset. I was fascinated by who he was going 220 00:10:03,548 --> 00:10:05,948 Speaker 1: to find as an offense coordinator. And he brings his 221 00:10:05,988 --> 00:10:08,668 Speaker 1: guy from San Francisco over the last week in Bobby Sloweck, 222 00:10:08,748 --> 00:10:10,748 Speaker 1: the passing game coordinator for the forty nine ers, he 223 00:10:10,828 --> 00:10:12,788 Speaker 1: got Rock Party to where he needed to be. He's 224 00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:15,828 Speaker 1: worked with Christian McCaffrey. Where are the Texans going with 225 00:10:15,868 --> 00:10:19,748 Speaker 1: at number two and number twelve pick? Because that's an 226 00:10:19,788 --> 00:10:22,388 Speaker 1: identity question to me, Demiko, are you going to make 227 00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:25,508 Speaker 1: the Texans a nasty defensive team? Are you going to 228 00:10:25,588 --> 00:10:28,348 Speaker 1: make them so good that offenses are cowering in their 229 00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,388 Speaker 1: cowboy boots when they come to play you at home? 230 00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,468 Speaker 1: Or are you going to lean on a guy who's 231 00:10:32,468 --> 00:10:34,788 Speaker 1: a first time offensive coordinator, Go out and get a 232 00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:37,228 Speaker 1: quarterback with your number two pick, who's going to change 233 00:10:37,228 --> 00:10:39,508 Speaker 1: the face of your franchise and say, hey, we're gonna 234 00:10:39,588 --> 00:10:42,348 Speaker 1: lean on Damian Pierce. What an unbelievable rookie season as 235 00:10:42,348 --> 00:10:45,588 Speaker 1: a running back. But also Will Levis a bryce young 236 00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:48,388 Speaker 1: because a lot of teams, like the Colts, like any 237 00:10:48,388 --> 00:10:49,828 Speaker 1: of them, are going to try to jockey for that 238 00:10:49,908 --> 00:10:52,628 Speaker 1: number one you're sitting pretty at too. There's a lot 239 00:10:52,668 --> 00:10:55,948 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks available, But what direction do you go in? 240 00:10:56,068 --> 00:10:58,388 Speaker 1: I think with that number twelve pick, because to me, 241 00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:01,748 Speaker 1: that will help understand the identity that the Texans will 242 00:11:01,788 --> 00:11:04,308 Speaker 1: have moving forward because Demiko Ryan sits in a very 243 00:11:04,468 --> 00:11:07,668 Speaker 1: fascinating division as well, which, as some people say, is 244 00:11:07,788 --> 00:11:10,268 Speaker 1: supple for overtaking, which I hate saying the word supple, 245 00:11:10,308 --> 00:11:12,988 Speaker 1: but it's true because the division there could be a 246 00:11:13,068 --> 00:11:14,708 Speaker 1: change at the top. I disagree with you. I love 247 00:11:14,708 --> 00:11:16,828 Speaker 1: your take. I think if you like a quarterback, go 248 00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:18,668 Speaker 1: and get them like go and move up to one. 249 00:11:18,988 --> 00:11:21,628 Speaker 1: That's how more abund this franchise has been. So if 250 00:11:21,628 --> 00:11:24,068 Speaker 1: you love Bryce Young, the worst thing would happen is 251 00:11:24,108 --> 00:11:26,348 Speaker 1: if you love Bryce Young and you've been terrible for 252 00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:28,308 Speaker 1: all these years and that's your guy at two and 253 00:11:28,348 --> 00:11:30,468 Speaker 1: then the cult of division rival from four and move 254 00:11:30,508 --> 00:11:31,828 Speaker 1: up to one, and then you have to face him 255 00:11:31,828 --> 00:11:33,748 Speaker 1: twice a year every year. So to me, if I'm 256 00:11:33,788 --> 00:11:36,308 Speaker 1: the Texans, like Nickissario, you know him, well, this is 257 00:11:36,348 --> 00:11:38,388 Speaker 1: here three now Bud likes go get our guy. That's 258 00:11:38,428 --> 00:11:40,828 Speaker 1: what they did before with Rubisky. We love them, they 259 00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:43,188 Speaker 1: trade it up. The thing about Brace Young is a 260 00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:45,188 Speaker 1: lot of people are going to really really love Bryce Young. 261 00:11:45,268 --> 00:11:47,988 Speaker 1: How much is too much to give up to get him? 262 00:11:48,148 --> 00:11:50,268 Speaker 1: And if it's going to be too much just for 263 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:52,868 Speaker 1: one guy, and I never think it's worth it when 264 00:11:52,868 --> 00:11:56,308 Speaker 1: there's a richness of quarterbacks in this draft. In particular, 265 00:11:56,348 --> 00:11:57,988 Speaker 1: I think you have to be open minded with a 266 00:11:58,028 --> 00:12:00,548 Speaker 1: brand new slate of coaches and a direction that team 267 00:12:00,548 --> 00:12:02,228 Speaker 1: could go in. You could get at number two guy 268 00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:04,588 Speaker 1: and Will levi Us. All these quarterbacks play differently. Old 269 00:12:04,588 --> 00:12:06,108 Speaker 1: your team around the guy that you get. Don't become 270 00:12:06,108 --> 00:12:08,068 Speaker 1: obsessed with one guy and give up the house in 271 00:12:08,148 --> 00:12:10,348 Speaker 1: order to get him. I think it depends upon how 272 00:12:10,388 --> 00:12:12,548 Speaker 1: big of a gap you see from the number one 273 00:12:12,628 --> 00:12:15,028 Speaker 1: quarterback to the number two quarterback. If you think the 274 00:12:15,108 --> 00:12:18,268 Speaker 1: number one is head and shoulders above every other quarterback 275 00:12:18,308 --> 00:12:19,988 Speaker 1: in the class, didn't move up and go get it 276 00:12:20,188 --> 00:12:24,268 Speaker 1: the generational talent if you feel like it's talent, you know, 277 00:12:24,708 --> 00:12:26,468 Speaker 1: if you think it's close enough, then you all right. 278 00:12:26,468 --> 00:12:27,948 Speaker 1: If we don't get that guy, we get this guy, 279 00:12:27,988 --> 00:12:29,388 Speaker 1: even if we fall in love with him. But if 280 00:12:29,388 --> 00:12:31,068 Speaker 1: it's that much of a gap, I mean, that's the 281 00:12:31,068 --> 00:12:33,988 Speaker 1: difference between competing for Super Bowls. Yea, and I don't 282 00:12:33,988 --> 00:12:36,308 Speaker 1: care how good your defense is, you need that guy 283 00:12:36,348 --> 00:12:38,668 Speaker 1: at quarterback. Nick, like you said, was in New England, 284 00:12:38,708 --> 00:12:41,628 Speaker 1: we had great defenses, but the guy we had at quarterback. 285 00:12:42,068 --> 00:12:44,108 Speaker 1: Was the difference at winning a Super Bowl or just 286 00:12:44,188 --> 00:12:47,028 Speaker 1: being a team with a good defense and a chance 287 00:12:47,108 --> 00:12:49,388 Speaker 1: to be a debate, especially because of the team you're 288 00:12:49,388 --> 00:12:51,748 Speaker 1: talking about, Chicago. This is what's happening in every NFL 289 00:12:51,748 --> 00:12:53,308 Speaker 1: building right now. And also it's going to be on 290 00:12:53,308 --> 00:12:55,028 Speaker 1: our show for the next two months because I think 291 00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,388 Speaker 1: Chicago is gonna put that number one pick up there 292 00:12:57,428 --> 00:13:00,468 Speaker 1: and that fear of that. If you're the Texans, gosh, yes, yeah. 293 00:13:00,508 --> 00:13:03,108 Speaker 1: And then you think back to Week eighteen when they 294 00:13:03,148 --> 00:13:05,508 Speaker 1: want a meaningless game and you're like, we didn't have 295 00:13:05,548 --> 00:13:08,268 Speaker 1: to be in I'm sure the front office was mad. 296 00:13:09,268 --> 00:13:11,308 Speaker 1: We need to get these guys not wanting to play today, 297 00:13:11,468 --> 00:13:14,188 Speaker 1: right Exactly. It's a lot there. The NFL Combine, presented 298 00:13:14,188 --> 00:13:17,668 Speaker 1: by Noble, where a dream that starts small could get 299 00:13:17,668 --> 00:13:20,108 Speaker 1: big and a name that's unknown can become the future 300 00:13:20,188 --> 00:13:22,948 Speaker 1: of a team. Next is here. It's the twenty twenty 301 00:13:22,908 --> 00:13:25,428 Speaker 1: three NFL Combine.

We are just days away at speaking 310 00:14:01,108 --> 00:14:03,548 Speaker 1: of some of those top prospects to take the field 311 00:14:03,548 --> 00:14:06,788 Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stay different participation levels for each position 312 00:14:06,828 --> 00:14:09,748 Speaker 1: group and star whatnot. It's up to them, But how 313 00:14:09,828 --> 00:14:11,908 Speaker 1: much they show and how well they show was also 314 00:14:11,988 --> 00:14:13,668 Speaker 1: up to them. Players that we want to keep an 315 00:14:13,708 --> 00:14:16,148 Speaker 1: eye on. Thought Peter a kind of a tea up 316 00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:18,628 Speaker 1: to this week, Like here's a name. Just watch how 317 00:14:18,668 --> 00:14:21,068 Speaker 1: the narrative unfolds for this guy when he's last year 318 00:14:21,388 --> 00:14:24,068 Speaker 1: as a baseline, last year, at this point, everyone's talking 319 00:14:24,068 --> 00:14:27,548 Speaker 1: about Aiden Hutchinson, Aiden Hutchinson, Aidan Hutchinson, Travon Walker came 320 00:14:27,588 --> 00:14:30,788 Speaker 1: out and dominated the combine and went first overall. Tyree 321 00:14:30,788 --> 00:14:33,868 Speaker 1: Wilson is a Texas Tech defensive end. He's not going 322 00:14:33,908 --> 00:14:36,268 Speaker 1: to likely do much. He's got his foot coming off 323 00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:38,268 Speaker 1: an injury right now, and I don't know if athletically 324 00:14:38,628 --> 00:14:40,668 Speaker 1: he's going to feel right to go at the combine. 325 00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:42,668 Speaker 1: But I will tell you this, and if they're a 326 00:14:42,788 --> 00:14:45,948 Speaker 1: year of hearing about Will Anderson and Jalen Carter and 327 00:14:46,788 --> 00:14:49,668 Speaker 1: Miles Murphy, all these guys that we've been hearing about, 328 00:14:50,028 --> 00:14:54,268 Speaker 1: this is your quote unquote late rising prospect. Tyree Wilson 329 00:14:54,308 --> 00:14:56,788 Speaker 1: is an absolute beast off the edge and he's out 330 00:14:56,828 --> 00:14:58,908 Speaker 1: of the Big twelve at Texas Tech, which is not 331 00:14:58,948 --> 00:15:03,428 Speaker 1: a factory for pass rushers over historical times. Tyree Wilson 332 00:15:03,548 --> 00:15:05,428 Speaker 1: is the name I'm watching because every year we get 333 00:15:05,428 --> 00:15:07,908 Speaker 1: out of the combine and it's like, Okay, this was 334 00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:10,668 Speaker 1: the list beforehand, and now there's the list after. He's 335 00:15:10,668 --> 00:15:12,668 Speaker 1: not even gonna likely do much. He's gonna do the 336 00:15:12,668 --> 00:15:14,948 Speaker 1: bench is what Tom Pella Sero said. But the amount 337 00:15:14,988 --> 00:15:19,788 Speaker 1: of teams that I've spoken to have said yes, Carter, Yes, Anderson, Yes, 338 00:15:20,148 --> 00:15:22,948 Speaker 1: the Clemson guy, and oh what about Tyree Wilson. I'm 339 00:15:23,028 --> 00:15:25,868 Speaker 1: fascinating to see if he's this year's Trey Von Walker, 340 00:15:25,908 --> 00:15:27,988 Speaker 1: even without the workout, he's the guy that by the 341 00:15:28,068 --> 00:15:30,468 Speaker 1: end of this thing we're talking about. Tyree Wilson start 342 00:15:30,508 --> 00:15:32,308 Speaker 1: off at Texas A and m went to Texas Tech, 343 00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:35,268 Speaker 1: played outside linebacker mostly in the NFL projects to be 344 00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:37,828 Speaker 1: a defensive end, but at absolutely so. Where's number nineteen, 345 00:15:37,908 --> 00:15:40,028 Speaker 1: which is an unlikely number for a pass rusher and 346 00:15:40,068 --> 00:15:43,548 Speaker 1: he pops off the screen. Go google Tyree Wilson versus Texas, 347 00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:45,908 Speaker 1: and you're gonna see why scouts are doing flips over. 348 00:15:46,068 --> 00:15:48,188 Speaker 1: I like those kind of guys, the ones that not 349 00:15:48,268 --> 00:15:50,228 Speaker 1: everyone was talking about during the collar season. But then 350 00:15:50,268 --> 00:15:52,228 Speaker 1: after you digest a tape and say, we'll wait a second, 351 00:15:52,308 --> 00:15:53,988 Speaker 1: what about him? I wouldn't be shocked if he goes 352 00:15:53,988 --> 00:15:55,428 Speaker 1: in the top five. I wouldn't be talking he goes 353 00:15:55,428 --> 00:15:58,268 Speaker 1: in the top three. Tyree Wilson, a name we hadn't 354 00:15:58,308 --> 00:15:59,988 Speaker 1: heard all college season. He might be your guy that 355 00:16:00,028 --> 00:16:02,268 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about after the combine until your point, even 356 00:16:02,308 --> 00:16:04,868 Speaker 1: if he doesn't participate in a drills. This buying is 357 00:16:04,868 --> 00:16:07,228 Speaker 1: a great time for teams to get him in the meetings, 358 00:16:07,228 --> 00:16:09,468 Speaker 1: put him on the board, and ask him questions about 359 00:16:09,508 --> 00:16:11,668 Speaker 1: their defense. You get to see kind of behind the 360 00:16:11,748 --> 00:16:13,868 Speaker 1: curtain what a guy can pick up and learn in 361 00:16:13,988 --> 00:16:16,148 Speaker 1: those meetings, and you learn a little bit more about him. 362 00:16:16,188 --> 00:16:18,508 Speaker 1: And a guy I'm fascinated by and looking forward to 363 00:16:18,548 --> 00:16:22,468 Speaker 1: watching is Zay Flowers. The wide receiver out of Boston College. 364 00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:24,628 Speaker 1: Earlier in the season. I got a chance to go 365 00:16:24,748 --> 00:16:28,588 Speaker 1: watch the first game him going against Rutgers, my alma made, 366 00:16:28,628 --> 00:16:30,308 Speaker 1: and I'm in Boston. I'm going to the game and 367 00:16:30,348 --> 00:16:32,468 Speaker 1: I just want to see my guys. And this guy 368 00:16:32,588 --> 00:16:36,388 Speaker 1: number four is all over the field. Electric. Steve Smith, 369 00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:39,588 Speaker 1: our colleague from the network, referred to him as a jitterbug. 370 00:16:39,828 --> 00:16:42,548 Speaker 1: He's a guy when the ball is in his hands, 371 00:16:42,748 --> 00:16:45,108 Speaker 1: he's hard to tackle. But he's not just a catching 372 00:16:45,188 --> 00:16:47,588 Speaker 1: run guy. There's deep balls. He can do it all 373 00:16:47,988 --> 00:16:51,228 Speaker 1: over the field, a really, really good route runner. And 374 00:16:51,308 --> 00:16:55,308 Speaker 1: I saw one of his interviews. He's thirteen siblings. Thirteen, yes, 375 00:16:55,468 --> 00:16:58,228 Speaker 1: So that's where he got his competitive nature from, because 376 00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:01,348 Speaker 1: everything was a competition who was faster, who was better 377 00:17:01,348 --> 00:17:03,868 Speaker 1: at whatever given sport day we're playing. So he is 378 00:17:03,908 --> 00:17:05,588 Speaker 1: a guy I want to see because we watched the 379 00:17:05,628 --> 00:17:07,668 Speaker 1: film and you see highlights of them. You see him 380 00:17:07,708 --> 00:17:10,068 Speaker 1: running past people, you see him stopping on a dime, 381 00:17:10,308 --> 00:17:12,548 Speaker 1: hitting them with the dead leg, the stinky leg, whatever 382 00:17:12,588 --> 00:17:14,508 Speaker 1: you want to call it. This is the type of 383 00:17:14,548 --> 00:17:16,348 Speaker 1: guy you want to see at the combine because you 384 00:17:16,388 --> 00:17:18,628 Speaker 1: want to see what his forty is, how high he jumps, 385 00:17:18,628 --> 00:17:20,628 Speaker 1: how far he jumps into broad jump. You want to 386 00:17:20,628 --> 00:17:23,188 Speaker 1: see if that athleticism you see on the film, if 387 00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:25,348 Speaker 1: it shows up on the combine, because you already know 388 00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:28,108 Speaker 1: the kid can play, and he's underside a little bit. 389 00:17:28,188 --> 00:17:31,108 Speaker 1: But when you can make plays, that kind of grows 390 00:17:31,148 --> 00:17:33,428 Speaker 1: bigger than whatever you can do or whatever your side 391 00:17:33,468 --> 00:17:36,108 Speaker 1: shows up as a playmaker in the NFL. I agree, 392 00:17:36,108 --> 00:17:38,028 Speaker 1: and I see what you both did there. You're picking 393 00:17:38,068 --> 00:17:41,548 Speaker 1: guys are not everyone knows about, and I think the 394 00:17:41,548 --> 00:17:43,868 Speaker 1: same way. I'm gonna stay at wide receiver. I'm going 395 00:17:44,028 --> 00:17:47,348 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigbook because now everyone didn't get to 396 00:17:47,348 --> 00:17:48,908 Speaker 1: see him last year. You didn't see him in two 397 00:17:48,908 --> 00:17:52,868 Speaker 1: thousand and twenty, just three games, very limitation. But you 398 00:17:52,988 --> 00:17:55,628 Speaker 1: turned back on the film and you go, Noah Lave, 399 00:17:56,188 --> 00:17:58,868 Speaker 1: no Carrott. Wilson in the ball game, three hundred and 400 00:17:58,868 --> 00:18:03,268 Speaker 1: forty seven yards and three touchdowns against Utah goals nuts. 401 00:18:03,548 --> 00:18:05,508 Speaker 1: We keep talking about Strout and Strout those on the 402 00:18:05,548 --> 00:18:12,308 Speaker 1: ball against Wisconsin hit something. Oh that. I want to 403 00:18:12,348 --> 00:18:14,388 Speaker 1: see what he does at the combine. Now they say 404 00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:16,548 Speaker 1: he's not a top end speedy guy, but if he 405 00:18:16,548 --> 00:18:19,148 Speaker 1: goes and runs faster than everyone projects, then he goes 406 00:18:19,188 --> 00:18:21,068 Speaker 1: out there, he catches the ball, well, look's good, and 407 00:18:21,108 --> 00:18:23,748 Speaker 1: agility drills. Now we're sitting here like all right, Yeah, 408 00:18:23,828 --> 00:18:25,508 Speaker 1: he didn't play in two thousand twenty two, but when 409 00:18:25,548 --> 00:18:29,068 Speaker 1: we turn on twenty one, sixteen hundred yards and nine touchdowns. 410 00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:30,828 Speaker 1: So now we're like, all right, we got good film 411 00:18:30,828 --> 00:18:32,748 Speaker 1: on him. A last guy that did this goes in 412 00:18:32,788 --> 00:18:35,468 Speaker 1: the first round. Jamar Chase didn't play the year before, 413 00:18:35,988 --> 00:18:38,588 Speaker 1: opts out of the COVID year comes in just fourteen 414 00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:42,228 Speaker 1: hundred yards, eighty one catches, and thirteen touchdowns. So now 415 00:18:42,388 --> 00:18:44,628 Speaker 1: is a team looking like, oh man in Jigba, is 416 00:18:44,668 --> 00:18:47,028 Speaker 1: he the next Jamar Chase? And I think that's what 417 00:18:47,108 --> 00:18:49,788 Speaker 1: this combines is about. It's not about the kind of 418 00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:52,948 Speaker 1: blue chit foundation guys. Every team wants to seem Mike 419 00:18:52,948 --> 00:18:54,468 Speaker 1: in GM and head coach. They want to be like, 420 00:18:54,468 --> 00:18:56,228 Speaker 1: you see how good I am? I found this guy 421 00:18:56,228 --> 00:18:57,868 Speaker 1: and no one thought he was good. So I think 422 00:18:57,868 --> 00:19:00,708 Speaker 1: in Jigba falls in that category. Everyone's gonna go back 423 00:19:00,788 --> 00:19:03,148 Speaker 1: watch him. Everyone wants to talk to him. Now, what 424 00:19:03,228 --> 00:19:05,548 Speaker 1: does he know? What did he learn last year sitting out? 425 00:19:05,588 --> 00:19:07,668 Speaker 1: Did he still pick up the offense? Did he get better? 426 00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:10,068 Speaker 1: He played a lot in the slot. Can he play outside? 427 00:19:10,068 --> 00:19:12,028 Speaker 1: Can he do different things? And teams would get to 428 00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:14,628 Speaker 1: asking those questions throughout this A question with him is 429 00:19:14,628 --> 00:19:16,948 Speaker 1: like the top line speed. I'll never forget being at 430 00:19:16,988 --> 00:19:20,628 Speaker 1: the combine in twenty twenty. It's right for for COVID 431 00:19:20,708 --> 00:19:23,268 Speaker 1: and everyone's like, justin, Jefferson's good and had good numbers, 432 00:19:23,268 --> 00:19:25,668 Speaker 1: but he's gonna run a four seven four six. Then 433 00:19:25,668 --> 00:19:27,788 Speaker 1: he ran a four four and everyone's like, oh okay, 434 00:19:28,028 --> 00:19:30,228 Speaker 1: and those numbers and the production and he's a great kid. 435 00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:32,428 Speaker 1: That's what he has. What has he been doing all 436 00:19:32,508 --> 00:19:35,348 Speaker 1: year training? Training? Yeah, he might go and kill that combin. 437 00:19:35,428 --> 00:19:37,668 Speaker 1: He might run this thing like eighteen steps and people like, 438 00:19:37,708 --> 00:19:39,668 Speaker 1: whoa he worked on this four. That's the thing about 439 00:19:39,668 --> 00:19:41,508 Speaker 1: the Combine I think it should almost be renamed like 440 00:19:41,548 --> 00:19:44,668 Speaker 1: translation Day, because it's like, how do your skills and 441 00:19:44,748 --> 00:19:47,948 Speaker 1: your numbers translate? Because I'm watching you guys watch film 442 00:19:47,988 --> 00:19:49,988 Speaker 1: of college players that you probably don't have the time 443 00:19:50,028 --> 00:19:51,828 Speaker 1: to watch in the regular season, and that's great. You 444 00:19:51,828 --> 00:19:53,308 Speaker 1: watch him and I can see your eyes and your 445 00:19:53,308 --> 00:19:55,388 Speaker 1: brains are working, like, huh, that's interesting. I wonder how 446 00:19:55,388 --> 00:19:57,508 Speaker 1: that would play at the next level because you guys 447 00:19:57,508 --> 00:19:59,668 Speaker 1: would know best y'all want with names that you want 448 00:19:59,668 --> 00:20:01,628 Speaker 1: people to know about. A name that people have heard 449 00:20:01,628 --> 00:20:03,068 Speaker 1: a lot about, but I think they need to know 450 00:20:03,188 --> 00:20:06,708 Speaker 1: more of is Anthony Cherson. He's the quarterback out of Florida. 451 00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:08,708 Speaker 1: A lot of Will Levis and Bryce Young talk. But 452 00:20:08,788 --> 00:20:12,388 Speaker 1: here's the thing about Anthony Richardson. A Miami Bass product, 453 00:20:12,468 --> 00:20:14,548 Speaker 1: goes to the University of Florida Redshirts. His first year, 454 00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:16,788 Speaker 1: plays a couple of games at Red Shirts. His second 455 00:20:16,828 --> 00:20:19,268 Speaker 1: year has his first start ever. I did the game 456 00:20:19,388 --> 00:20:22,188 Speaker 1: Florida Georgia, going up against a number one defense in 457 00:20:22,228 --> 00:20:24,908 Speaker 1: Georgia at his first start. They get blown out thirty 458 00:20:24,908 --> 00:20:27,508 Speaker 1: four seven or something like that. But this young man 459 00:20:27,628 --> 00:20:31,868 Speaker 1: walking into that production meeting was as physically intimidating to 460 00:20:31,908 --> 00:20:34,468 Speaker 1: me as Will Anderson. That is a parallel that I'm 461 00:20:34,468 --> 00:20:38,628 Speaker 1: willing to make White Howard shoulders, I'm telling you across 462 00:20:38,668 --> 00:20:41,708 Speaker 1: the board. And then the situation was fascinating as well 463 00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:44,068 Speaker 1: because his best friend, the quarterback that he came in 464 00:20:44,108 --> 00:20:47,068 Speaker 1: with the Florida, Emery Jones, was starting to not play 465 00:20:47,108 --> 00:20:49,428 Speaker 1: well at Florida, and the entire fan base was calling 466 00:20:49,468 --> 00:20:52,228 Speaker 1: for Anthony Richinson to start over his best friend Emory 467 00:20:52,268 --> 00:20:56,068 Speaker 1: Jones walks into this meeting, handles himself impeccably an interesting 468 00:20:56,148 --> 00:20:58,708 Speaker 1: young man that this was clearly a hard situation for 469 00:20:58,788 --> 00:21:00,668 Speaker 1: him to be in. I think he's going to interview 470 00:21:00,708 --> 00:21:02,788 Speaker 1: well this week. I think he wants to show not 471 00:21:02,908 --> 00:21:05,748 Speaker 1: only his physical gifts, his skills, but the fact that 472 00:21:05,788 --> 00:21:07,468 Speaker 1: this is a person and a young man that you 473 00:21:07,508 --> 00:21:09,588 Speaker 1: can draft and in an organization is going to have 474 00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:12,268 Speaker 1: to stake their claim on them and make them maybe 475 00:21:12,308 --> 00:21:14,588 Speaker 1: not their guy tomorrow, but the guy of the future. 476 00:21:14,708 --> 00:21:18,148 Speaker 1: I think he's unbelievably gifted. A lot of comparisons are 477 00:21:18,188 --> 00:21:20,068 Speaker 1: being made, and I know it's always I did speak 478 00:21:20,068 --> 00:21:22,308 Speaker 1: with Gary Danielson about Anthony. We're just saying because he 479 00:21:22,428 --> 00:21:25,068 Speaker 1: watched the most Josh Allen is kind of is the 480 00:21:25,188 --> 00:21:28,828 Speaker 1: running capability and the athleticism that he was able to 481 00:21:28,868 --> 00:21:31,388 Speaker 1: see on film at least. The other interesting thing that 482 00:21:31,428 --> 00:21:33,388 Speaker 1: Gary pointed out to me was that in terms of 483 00:21:33,708 --> 00:21:36,428 Speaker 1: NFL translation and how it translates to the next level, 484 00:21:36,548 --> 00:21:40,628 Speaker 1: no one benefited more than Anthony Richardson from Jalen Hurts 485 00:21:40,628 --> 00:21:43,068 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl performance in terms of the ability to 486 00:21:43,108 --> 00:21:45,068 Speaker 1: tuck the ball and run, because that's where offenses are 487 00:21:45,148 --> 00:21:47,348 Speaker 1: going now. It's great. When he said that, I was like, yeah, 488 00:21:47,468 --> 00:21:49,708 Speaker 1: you're right, because Jalen Hurts blew people out of the 489 00:21:49,748 --> 00:21:51,228 Speaker 1: water with how he played in that Super Bowl. And 490 00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:52,708 Speaker 1: if that's how the quarterback play is going to go, 491 00:21:52,708 --> 00:21:54,468 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson as the kind of guy you had to 492 00:21:54,508 --> 00:21:56,588 Speaker 1: run against lsu I tweeted it out over the weekend. 493 00:21:56,628 --> 00:21:59,268 Speaker 1: It's an ADR runs and he's stiff forming guys and 494 00:21:59,308 --> 00:22:01,948 Speaker 1: he's just shaking people. And the athletic ability is all there. 495 00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:05,428 Speaker 1: The sizes, all the questions are the accuracy. But if 496 00:22:05,468 --> 00:22:08,108 Speaker 1: to your point, if Josh Allen's questions were about accuracy, 497 00:22:08,108 --> 00:22:11,668 Speaker 1: why can't someone else improve versus questions were about accuracy 498 00:22:11,668 --> 00:22:13,428 Speaker 1: as well, and he obviously if that's the thing that 499 00:22:13,428 --> 00:22:15,708 Speaker 1: you can put the work in on and fix, then 500 00:22:15,988 --> 00:22:18,028 Speaker 1: you're fine. He also had like an unbelievable fake for 501 00:22:18,068 --> 00:22:20,468 Speaker 1: a two point conversion that was fantastic. And I think 502 00:22:20,508 --> 00:22:23,468 Speaker 1: this combine gives these teams a chance to really dive 503 00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:25,348 Speaker 1: into that you talked about Joel and Hurts. He came 504 00:22:25,388 --> 00:22:27,908 Speaker 1: in his first year of starting. Going into this season, 505 00:22:27,988 --> 00:22:29,908 Speaker 1: we were all questioning that. But I think for the 506 00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:33,108 Speaker 1: Eagles being around him, doing your research. It was this 507 00:22:33,228 --> 00:22:35,588 Speaker 1: type of kid, this work ethic. We know he can 508 00:22:35,628 --> 00:22:38,428 Speaker 1: get there. And when you watch Anthony Richardson's highlights, I 509 00:22:38,428 --> 00:22:40,868 Speaker 1: mean they're just I also love the fact he's going 510 00:22:40,948 --> 00:22:43,108 Speaker 1: to compete, Like I might be old school in this. 511 00:22:43,308 --> 00:22:45,908 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson credit to Tom pellas haers like, I'll do 512 00:22:45,908 --> 00:22:49,228 Speaker 1: all the drills, I'll showcase everything. I'll never forget Josh 513 00:22:49,228 --> 00:22:51,988 Speaker 1: Allen unleashing one seventy yard bomb and it was any 514 00:22:52,028 --> 00:22:54,188 Speaker 1: complete in the combine, but everyone there being like, sure, 515 00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:56,668 Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah. When you have the opportunity to compete 516 00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:58,748 Speaker 1: the combine, it's different than the pro day, where it's 517 00:22:58,748 --> 00:23:01,028 Speaker 1: basically your own mixtape. You disagree, I'm not all in 518 00:23:01,108 --> 00:23:03,508 Speaker 1: on it. For a quarterback, I feel like it's so different. 519 00:23:03,508 --> 00:23:05,148 Speaker 1: Like if I'll show up and I'm a wide receiver, 520 00:23:05,428 --> 00:23:07,268 Speaker 1: I'm just running fast. If this is a bad pass, 521 00:23:07,508 --> 00:23:09,148 Speaker 1: it's just like, all right, the quarterback blew it. For 522 00:23:09,548 --> 00:23:11,988 Speaker 1: a quarterback, if I'm used to throwing a guy that 523 00:23:12,068 --> 00:23:13,908 Speaker 1: runs a four or five and now I have somebody 524 00:23:13,908 --> 00:23:16,028 Speaker 1: out there running four to three and I'm throwing a 525 00:23:16,068 --> 00:23:18,148 Speaker 1: gold ball, I may look a little bit different. So 526 00:23:18,668 --> 00:23:21,308 Speaker 1: I like the competition aspect of it. But if I'm 527 00:23:21,348 --> 00:23:23,708 Speaker 1: more comfortable where I'm back home and I'm throwing to 528 00:23:23,828 --> 00:23:26,468 Speaker 1: my guys, I think it kind of benefits you a 529 00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:28,548 Speaker 1: little bit more. Those guys do that now, Yeah, because 530 00:23:28,588 --> 00:23:31,068 Speaker 1: for a big name quarterback, they're they're all coming to 531 00:23:31,108 --> 00:23:33,548 Speaker 1: the protect anyway. If I'm drafting a little possible top, 532 00:23:33,628 --> 00:23:36,028 Speaker 1: I agree with that. If you're a limited talent wise, 533 00:23:36,188 --> 00:23:38,708 Speaker 1: if you have the talent that this kid has, Richardson, 534 00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:40,308 Speaker 1: you go and do it. Because, like you said, Josh 535 00:23:40,348 --> 00:23:42,628 Speaker 1: Allen missed for seventy yards, but people loved it. He 536 00:23:42,708 --> 00:23:45,708 Speaker 1: watched Zack Wilson. He's rolling left, throwing back in a 537 00:23:45,788 --> 00:23:48,268 Speaker 1: shorts and T shirt and people are like, oh, imagine 538 00:23:48,308 --> 00:23:51,068 Speaker 1: the next Mahomes. So for Richardson, for one, you're gonna 539 00:23:51,068 --> 00:23:53,068 Speaker 1: walk in these meetings and like you just said, Jamie, 540 00:23:53,148 --> 00:23:55,748 Speaker 1: all of the scouts gonna be like whoa. Then they're 541 00:23:55,748 --> 00:23:57,708 Speaker 1: gonna see you a short cent of T shirt. Hopefully 542 00:23:57,748 --> 00:23:59,988 Speaker 1: he goes and wears a tight shirt, goes out there. 543 00:23:59,988 --> 00:24:02,108 Speaker 1: It looks great because that's what the people care about. 544 00:24:02,348 --> 00:24:04,588 Speaker 1: And he's throwing the ball all around the field. We're 545 00:24:04,588 --> 00:24:06,428 Speaker 1: gonna go back and go man, this guy he has 546 00:24:06,468 --> 00:24:08,908 Speaker 1: more talent than I thought. If I get him or 547 00:24:08,988 --> 00:24:11,228 Speaker 1: we give him to this guy, and I think that's 548 00:24:11,268 --> 00:24:13,468 Speaker 1: what it's about. If I have the quarterback guru and 549 00:24:13,508 --> 00:24:15,188 Speaker 1: I put him in the room with him, he'll be great. 550 00:24:15,188 --> 00:24:16,868 Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna climb the boards. It's one 551 00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:18,548 Speaker 1: thing to go back and do your own Pro Bowl day. 552 00:24:18,588 --> 00:24:20,388 Speaker 1: You're standing next to guys that are on your team. 553 00:24:20,388 --> 00:24:22,468 Speaker 1: If you can do it in Indianapolis against the ten 554 00:24:22,508 --> 00:24:24,988 Speaker 1: other guys that are in your group, that also looks 555 00:24:25,108 --> 00:24:27,348 Speaker 1: very good. If you can compete well on a day light, 556 00:24:27,428 --> 00:24:30,188 Speaker 1: we call that guys all you got that doll and 557 00:24:30,508 --> 00:24:32,908 Speaker 1: yeah now? Or he is him? Where that's on our list? 558 00:24:32,948 --> 00:24:35,388 Speaker 1: I know. The NFL Combine present of a noble where 559 00:24:35,388 --> 00:24:37,348 Speaker 1: a dream that starts small it can get big in 560 00:24:37,388 --> 00:24:39,468 Speaker 1: a name that's unknown. We will discover it on the 561 00:24:39,508 --> 00:24:42,748 Speaker 1: show and we'll help your future. Hopefully next is here. 562 00:24:42,828 --> 00:24:46,628 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty three NFL Combine starts on Thursday. Players 563 00:24:46,628 --> 00:24:48,868 Speaker 1: and coaches are starting to arrive, but all the coverage 564 00:24:48,908 --> 00:24:52,068 Speaker 1: can be seen right here on NFL Network and NFL Plus. 565 00:24:52,068 --> 00:24:54,628 Speaker 1: A couple days to look ahead to defensive linemen and 566 00:24:54,788 --> 00:24:59,068 Speaker 1: linebackers on Thursday. Great names in that group. Defensive backs, 567 00:24:59,908 --> 00:25:03,708 Speaker 1: You're going to see your Teriq Woollins, your soft gardeners, 568 00:25:03,828 --> 00:25:06,788 Speaker 1: you're any of those names. Devin Weatherspoon this year, here 569 00:25:06,828 --> 00:25:08,908 Speaker 1: we go Devin Weatherspoon that you can see guys like 570 00:25:08,948 --> 00:25:11,588 Speaker 1: that emerging bubbles at the top. And then quarterbacks, wide 571 00:25:11,588 --> 00:25:14,868 Speaker 1: receivers tighten Saturday, offensive linemen and running backs on Sunday, 572 00:25:14,908 --> 00:25:17,788 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three combine. It's where it's at. It's here, 573 00:25:17,828 --> 00:25:19,468 Speaker 1: and you can see it all right here on NFL 574 00:25:19,548 --> 00:25:22,748 Speaker 1: Network and the Plus NFL Plus. We'll take a deep 575 00:25:22,828 --> 00:25:25,308 Speaker 1: dive into NFC West. This is the off season. This 576 00:25:25,348 --> 00:25:28,188 Speaker 1: is where every fan is hopeful for the upcoming year. 577 00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:31,268 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about which teams to make the most 578 00:25:31,308 --> 00:25:49,428 Speaker 1: improvement for twenty twenty three. With the off season fully underway, 579 00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:53,388 Speaker 1: teams around the league have one hundred and ninety two 580 00:25:53,468 --> 00:25:55,468 Speaker 1: days until the twenty twenty three season kicks up, So 581 00:25:55,508 --> 00:25:57,068 Speaker 1: we're gonna break it down. Oh, we have a little 582 00:25:57,108 --> 00:25:59,228 Speaker 1: bit of time to do, so we're gonna go all 583 00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:02,348 Speaker 1: thirty two teams in a new segment we have named 584 00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:04,988 Speaker 1: off Season two. Dous It's the honey do List. If 585 00:26:05,028 --> 00:26:07,188 Speaker 1: you will of the offseason. But we're gonna go division 586 00:26:07,268 --> 00:26:10,508 Speaker 1: by division over the next two weeks. We're gonna unpack 587 00:26:10,548 --> 00:26:12,668 Speaker 1: every team across the league and suggests some things that 588 00:26:12,708 --> 00:26:15,388 Speaker 1: should be on there to do list this offseason. Each 589 00:26:15,468 --> 00:26:17,548 Speaker 1: day a new division on the list. Starting today with 590 00:26:17,628 --> 00:26:20,188 Speaker 1: the NFC West, we each had to pick a team, Peter, 591 00:26:20,188 --> 00:26:21,548 Speaker 1: who do you want to start off? Let's got the 592 00:26:21,548 --> 00:26:26,188 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals ended in this array last year. Kyler obviously injured, 593 00:26:26,228 --> 00:26:29,068 Speaker 1: coach fire GM no longer there, Let's restart it. Also 594 00:26:29,148 --> 00:26:31,028 Speaker 1: monte asen for it. The new GM as a big 595 00:26:31,108 --> 00:26:33,068 Speaker 1: task ahead, and their first thing was hiring a coach. 596 00:26:33,108 --> 00:26:35,068 Speaker 1: I like the Jonathan getting hire. I found it fascinating 597 00:26:35,068 --> 00:26:37,748 Speaker 1: who they hired their offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator. They hired 598 00:26:37,788 --> 00:26:39,788 Speaker 1: a thirty five year old and a twenty nine year olds. 599 00:26:39,828 --> 00:26:41,788 Speaker 1: You have now one of the youngest coaching staffs in 600 00:26:41,828 --> 00:26:43,508 Speaker 1: the league, and they have the most needs as well. 601 00:26:43,708 --> 00:26:45,428 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a rebuilding year for Arizona and it 602 00:26:45,468 --> 00:26:47,468 Speaker 1: starts with the offensive line. Their offensive line was not 603 00:26:47,548 --> 00:26:49,268 Speaker 1: good last year. They're going to have to address the 604 00:26:49,268 --> 00:26:53,228 Speaker 1: offensive line to protect Kyler Murray. Whenever Kyler returns, we 605 00:26:53,268 --> 00:26:55,628 Speaker 1: don't know. Kyler could be back in October, coming back 606 00:26:55,628 --> 00:26:59,148 Speaker 1: in November, Kyler coming back in December. We don't know, 607 00:26:59,388 --> 00:27:01,868 Speaker 1: but we do know that whenever he's back, we're gonna 608 00:27:01,908 --> 00:27:03,748 Speaker 1: want an offensive line that can keep him upright and 609 00:27:03,748 --> 00:27:07,068 Speaker 1: not be under number two. Their past rush takes a 610 00:27:07,108 --> 00:27:10,108 Speaker 1: major hit. JJ Watt retiring was not just some ceremonial thing. 611 00:27:10,228 --> 00:27:12,468 Speaker 1: JJ Watt was their most disruptive defensive player last year. 612 00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:14,788 Speaker 1: J Watt was really good last year. J J Watt 613 00:27:14,828 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 1: finished the season crushing opponents and making plays ninety four. 614 00:27:18,628 --> 00:27:20,788 Speaker 1: They're alan he's gone too as a free agent. So 615 00:27:21,108 --> 00:27:23,788 Speaker 1: you have two different key positions that they have to address. 616 00:27:23,788 --> 00:27:25,948 Speaker 1: As a defensive line, they say football is one of 617 00:27:25,988 --> 00:27:28,548 Speaker 1: the trenches. So when you have a rebuilding offensive line 618 00:27:28,548 --> 00:27:31,348 Speaker 1: and rebuilding defensive line, a quarterback, we don't know about 619 00:27:31,348 --> 00:27:33,948 Speaker 1: a new coach, a new coordinator, and this is going 620 00:27:33,988 --> 00:27:36,148 Speaker 1: to be a rough, uphill battle. My last thing is 621 00:27:36,268 --> 00:27:37,988 Speaker 1: we know Buddha Baker's one of the best safeties in 622 00:27:37,988 --> 00:27:40,348 Speaker 1: the league. Byron Murphy had a really good season for 623 00:27:40,428 --> 00:27:42,908 Speaker 1: them at corner. He's a free agent. He's gonna make 624 00:27:42,948 --> 00:27:44,948 Speaker 1: a lot of money, and he might make that money elsewhere. 625 00:27:45,068 --> 00:27:47,828 Speaker 1: So you're talking about a total rebuild in Arizona with 626 00:27:47,908 --> 00:27:50,228 Speaker 1: a young coaching staff and a first year GM and 627 00:27:50,268 --> 00:27:53,508 Speaker 1: a quarterback Quandrick. I will say this, Jonathan Gannon addressed 628 00:27:53,548 --> 00:27:57,188 Speaker 1: it by being positive and being youthful, and I think 629 00:27:57,188 --> 00:27:59,308 Speaker 1: they're very self aware of what they are. But there 630 00:27:59,308 --> 00:28:01,028 Speaker 1: are a lot of needs on this roster and a 631 00:28:01,068 --> 00:28:03,588 Speaker 1: new culture. Mebil, Yeah, I'm fired up for them. I was. 632 00:28:03,788 --> 00:28:06,428 Speaker 1: I told you guys with Jonathan Gannon in Tennessee. Love 633 00:28:06,508 --> 00:28:08,828 Speaker 1: his energy, love them as a coach. I'm excited for them. 634 00:28:08,948 --> 00:28:11,148 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the La Rams. I think the most 635 00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:14,308 Speaker 1: important part of their off season already happened when Sean 636 00:28:14,388 --> 00:28:17,428 Speaker 1: McVeagh decided to come back and coach this football team. 637 00:28:17,668 --> 00:28:19,508 Speaker 1: But they won the Super Bowl two years ago, then 638 00:28:19,508 --> 00:28:21,628 Speaker 1: what they put on tape last season. There's a lot 639 00:28:21,668 --> 00:28:23,948 Speaker 1: to be fixed, and they don't really have the draft 640 00:28:23,988 --> 00:28:26,508 Speaker 1: picks to do so, so how they're gonna do it? 641 00:28:26,548 --> 00:28:28,108 Speaker 1: They don't have to figure that out. But I think 642 00:28:28,148 --> 00:28:29,988 Speaker 1: one thing they need to figure out is the edge 643 00:28:29,988 --> 00:28:33,228 Speaker 1: pass for us. I know Aaron Donald is a monster inside, 644 00:28:33,308 --> 00:28:35,628 Speaker 1: but on the edge, Leonard Florida a guy that has 645 00:28:35,668 --> 00:28:37,788 Speaker 1: a big contract and Like I said, they don't have 646 00:28:37,828 --> 00:28:39,868 Speaker 1: the draft picks, so what are they gonna do. They 647 00:28:39,908 --> 00:28:41,428 Speaker 1: don't not only have draft picks, they don't have the 648 00:28:41,468 --> 00:28:43,908 Speaker 1: cap space. So some of these guys who have these 649 00:28:43,948 --> 00:28:46,068 Speaker 1: big CAPPIs, they're gonna have to make decisions on Hey, 650 00:28:46,108 --> 00:28:48,548 Speaker 1: do we restructure them, do we try to trade them 651 00:28:48,588 --> 00:28:51,948 Speaker 1: straight over the breaks? I know what I bring to 652 00:28:51,988 --> 00:28:55,148 Speaker 1: a club. All I'm gonna say, we've heard from him, 653 00:28:55,228 --> 00:28:57,588 Speaker 1: We've heard from Jalen Ramsey. So there's a lot of 654 00:28:57,628 --> 00:28:59,788 Speaker 1: decisions to be made. And at the end of the day, 655 00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:03,428 Speaker 1: an edge pass rusher can change your entire defense, especially 656 00:29:03,428 --> 00:29:04,948 Speaker 1: when a guy mixing it up in the middle like 657 00:29:04,988 --> 00:29:07,268 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. If you have to get those double teams 658 00:29:07,268 --> 00:29:09,028 Speaker 1: off them and guys can get to the quarterback and 659 00:29:09,108 --> 00:29:11,348 Speaker 1: harass him, it goes a long way. And you mentioned 660 00:29:11,348 --> 00:29:14,468 Speaker 1: Floyd's tweet. Ramsey had tweets as well. Out to lunch 661 00:29:14,548 --> 00:29:16,628 Speaker 1: and next thing you know, his phone was buzzing. And 662 00:29:16,708 --> 00:29:19,188 Speaker 1: they don't decide to keep a guy like Jalen Ramsey. 663 00:29:19,428 --> 00:29:23,028 Speaker 1: They saw a little bit from Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant 664 00:29:23,028 --> 00:29:26,028 Speaker 1: a guy that flashed Durant, Sorry, Kobe Durant, a guy 665 00:29:26,108 --> 00:29:28,428 Speaker 1: that flash for them on the other side. But now 666 00:29:28,548 --> 00:29:31,188 Speaker 1: Troy Hill is a free agent, David Long Junior is 667 00:29:31,228 --> 00:29:33,468 Speaker 1: a free agent, and that back ind so is there 668 00:29:33,508 --> 00:29:35,468 Speaker 1: gonna be a cornerback? They still need to show up 669 00:29:35,468 --> 00:29:38,588 Speaker 1: the offensive line to keep Matthew Stafford up right this season, 670 00:29:38,628 --> 00:29:40,668 Speaker 1: have to dealing with the elbow this past year. So 671 00:29:40,948 --> 00:29:43,428 Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks in the Rams. And 672 00:29:43,468 --> 00:29:45,428 Speaker 1: we know two years you know they want a championship. 673 00:29:45,428 --> 00:29:47,948 Speaker 1: We know the type of coach McVeigh is. So do 674 00:29:48,028 --> 00:29:50,148 Speaker 1: they want to go into a full rebuild Molde not 675 00:29:50,268 --> 00:29:52,788 Speaker 1: with a quarterback like Stafford and a coach like McVeigh. 676 00:29:52,828 --> 00:29:54,508 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of decisions to be made for them. 677 00:29:54,588 --> 00:29:56,308 Speaker 1: I think it's so interesting when you look at a 678 00:29:56,348 --> 00:29:59,068 Speaker 1: team like the Rams, it reminds you how hard it 679 00:29:59,148 --> 00:30:01,988 Speaker 1: is to win year in and year on the NFL. 680 00:30:02,428 --> 00:30:04,788 Speaker 1: When Stafford got there, everyone was like, this team is 681 00:30:04,828 --> 00:30:06,788 Speaker 1: gonna be good for years. They had all this talent. 682 00:30:06,908 --> 00:30:08,868 Speaker 1: Now you look up, you're like, where are you gonna do? 683 00:30:08,908 --> 00:30:11,308 Speaker 1: They were so bad last year? But this is another team. 684 00:30:11,428 --> 00:30:14,188 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine is they've been sniffing around the 685 00:30:14,228 --> 00:30:16,788 Speaker 1: Super Bowl for a while now, played in the Super Bowl, 686 00:30:16,908 --> 00:30:20,948 Speaker 1: NFC Championships special defense. This year, a quarterback situation hurt 687 00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,068 Speaker 1: him a little bit with injuries. Now to do list 688 00:30:23,108 --> 00:30:26,068 Speaker 1: in the offseason, who's gonna play quarterback? Well, like, who's 689 00:30:26,068 --> 00:30:28,308 Speaker 1: gonna be the guy there? They have to figure out out. 690 00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:31,308 Speaker 1: Purdy stepped in, did a great job. Is he gonna 691 00:30:31,348 --> 00:30:34,068 Speaker 1: be your future six months? I don't know, do you 692 00:30:34,108 --> 00:30:37,588 Speaker 1: bring Jimmy Garoppolo back in shorts? Because the last time 693 00:30:37,628 --> 00:30:40,228 Speaker 1: you played a football game, you lost two quarterbacks in 694 00:30:40,228 --> 00:30:41,908 Speaker 1: the game. So now do you want to go in 695 00:30:41,948 --> 00:30:44,548 Speaker 1: there with three quarterbacks? Like? I don't know? And then 696 00:30:44,588 --> 00:30:46,908 Speaker 1: now one of the hardest things about being a good 697 00:30:46,948 --> 00:30:49,828 Speaker 1: football team in this league, free agency comes up because 698 00:30:49,868 --> 00:30:51,508 Speaker 1: when you're a good football team, it means you have 699 00:30:51,508 --> 00:30:54,108 Speaker 1: a lot of good players. Now you look at this list. 700 00:30:54,468 --> 00:30:59,068 Speaker 1: You have Molesley on this list, Gibson, Ward Alshare mcvinci, 701 00:30:59,388 --> 00:31:02,508 Speaker 1: You have so many players. Robbie gold who kicks for you? Now, 702 00:31:02,588 --> 00:31:05,668 Speaker 1: Jimmy Gene They have to figure out, Jimmy, who do 703 00:31:05,748 --> 00:31:08,268 Speaker 1: you bring back? Who are the key guys? Who's the 704 00:31:08,348 --> 00:31:12,188 Speaker 1: foundational pieces that you look up and you say, hey, 705 00:31:12,268 --> 00:31:14,508 Speaker 1: if we don't have this guy, we're not gonna be 706 00:31:14,588 --> 00:31:17,148 Speaker 1: the same. This guy's out of free agent. Do you 707 00:31:17,188 --> 00:31:20,588 Speaker 1: extend Nick Bosa? Do you make Bosa feel like, Hey, 708 00:31:20,828 --> 00:31:24,028 Speaker 1: you're our guy, You're gonna be here, Let's get this 709 00:31:24,108 --> 00:31:27,748 Speaker 1: done now, because really you don't have a high paid quarterback. 710 00:31:27,908 --> 00:31:30,868 Speaker 1: So the guy that really makes that team go is Bosa. 711 00:31:30,988 --> 00:31:32,468 Speaker 1: So you want to take care of them, like the 712 00:31:32,548 --> 00:31:35,868 Speaker 1: quarterback situations when you see those teams say hey, mahomes, 713 00:31:35,908 --> 00:31:37,788 Speaker 1: let's take care of you now and get this out 714 00:31:37,788 --> 00:31:39,948 Speaker 1: of the way. So I'm interested to see what do 715 00:31:40,028 --> 00:31:42,268 Speaker 1: they do with Bosa and these other free agents and 716 00:31:42,388 --> 00:31:44,948 Speaker 1: figuring some things out. It's interesting you can pull at 717 00:31:44,988 --> 00:31:48,148 Speaker 1: a shoelace and how easily like it can untie for 718 00:31:48,228 --> 00:31:50,188 Speaker 1: any team. Like I saw a list where the forty 719 00:31:50,228 --> 00:31:52,788 Speaker 1: nine ers work the most stable roster in the NFL. 720 00:31:52,868 --> 00:31:54,268 Speaker 1: Get the way I just listened to you, I was like, 721 00:31:54,268 --> 00:31:56,228 Speaker 1: blow it up, get rid of Like how are they 722 00:31:56,228 --> 00:31:58,148 Speaker 1: going to figure this all out? It's so interesting. I 723 00:31:58,188 --> 00:31:59,828 Speaker 1: go to the Seahawks. I'm not gonna get my scooter 724 00:31:59,868 --> 00:32:01,868 Speaker 1: out and roll around and try to make an argahole room. 725 00:32:01,948 --> 00:32:03,868 Speaker 1: I know I should have, but I won't. Do you know, Smith, 726 00:32:03,948 --> 00:32:06,188 Speaker 1: do you franchise Tag do you know Smith's quarterback? Do 727 00:32:06,188 --> 00:32:09,308 Speaker 1: you give him a big contract? Honestly, do you go 728 00:32:09,388 --> 00:32:11,668 Speaker 1: as far as do maybe you've tagged him and then 729 00:32:11,748 --> 00:32:14,628 Speaker 1: draft a quarterback. The Seahawks have four picks in the 730 00:32:14,628 --> 00:32:16,788 Speaker 1: first two rounds. A lot of that is a benefit 731 00:32:16,868 --> 00:32:19,028 Speaker 1: from the Russell Wilson trade with Denver last year. They 732 00:32:19,068 --> 00:32:21,548 Speaker 1: bubbled up to have a five pick and a twentieth 733 00:32:21,548 --> 00:32:24,028 Speaker 1: pick in the first round and then two more in 734 00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:26,028 Speaker 1: the second round. I think that's great. I think you 735 00:32:26,108 --> 00:32:27,468 Speaker 1: might have to go out and get a quarterback for 736 00:32:27,748 --> 00:32:30,188 Speaker 1: I know, the Geno Smith experience last year was unbelievable 737 00:32:30,188 --> 00:32:32,428 Speaker 1: and I'm happy for him, but it also wasn't great 738 00:32:32,468 --> 00:32:34,628 Speaker 1: for a couple of years before that, and for as 739 00:32:34,668 --> 00:32:36,908 Speaker 1: great as it went, it could also not go great 740 00:32:36,908 --> 00:32:38,668 Speaker 1: next year. What do you do with Drew Locke as 741 00:32:38,708 --> 00:32:41,668 Speaker 1: your backup quarterback? He also has a deal that needs 742 00:32:41,668 --> 00:32:44,228 Speaker 1: to get don't or do you let him walk away? Furthermore, 743 00:32:44,388 --> 00:32:46,508 Speaker 1: they need to get back to having a Seahawks pass 744 00:32:46,588 --> 00:32:50,148 Speaker 1: rusher that impresses people, especially in this division when you 745 00:32:50,188 --> 00:32:52,868 Speaker 1: talk about the quarterbacks that they're playing against. Lastly, you 746 00:32:52,948 --> 00:32:55,388 Speaker 1: have a rookie running back that had an unbelievable season 747 00:32:55,428 --> 00:32:57,588 Speaker 1: in Kenneth Walker the third. How do you bolster your 748 00:32:57,628 --> 00:32:59,908 Speaker 1: offensive line and free agency to make him feel more 749 00:32:59,908 --> 00:33:01,948 Speaker 1: comfortable and that's only going to help your quarterback. I 750 00:33:01,948 --> 00:33:04,028 Speaker 1: think the Seahawks had the makings they surprise a lot 751 00:33:04,068 --> 00:33:06,508 Speaker 1: of team last year when they dealt Russell Wilson. A 752 00:33:06,508 --> 00:33:08,668 Speaker 1: lot of people called, don't call it a rebuild a 753 00:33:08,788 --> 00:33:10,828 Speaker 1: per peek Carroll, Okay, Pete, if you don't want us 754 00:33:10,868 --> 00:33:12,028 Speaker 1: to do that, I think you have a couple things 755 00:33:12,068 --> 00:33:14,108 Speaker 1: you got to check off your listener to get better. Yeah, 756 00:33:14,108 --> 00:33:17,108 Speaker 1: look at their draft last year. Two starting tackles, two 757 00:33:17,148 --> 00:33:20,628 Speaker 1: starting defensive backs, the running back, the bride receiver made 758 00:33:20,748 --> 00:33:22,668 Speaker 1: like they have those picks again, like they can double 759 00:33:22,708 --> 00:33:24,948 Speaker 1: down and just up. But Gina Smith's the question, when 760 00:33:24,948 --> 00:33:26,828 Speaker 1: you do a geno franchise tag, let him walk or 761 00:33:26,868 --> 00:33:28,868 Speaker 1: give him a big contract. Seriously, Peter, do you franchise 762 00:33:28,868 --> 00:33:30,868 Speaker 1: tag him? And should they draft a quarterback? I don't 763 00:33:30,868 --> 00:33:32,268 Speaker 1: know if you franchise tag him even I think you 764 00:33:32,268 --> 00:33:35,268 Speaker 1: give him a decent contract for a couple of years 765 00:33:35,268 --> 00:33:36,548 Speaker 1: and then you can still drop the quarback. But like 766 00:33:36,588 --> 00:33:38,428 Speaker 1: franchis tack, you're paying him now thirty five million dollars. 767 00:33:38,668 --> 00:33:40,868 Speaker 1: Smith is not gonna They might do that though. Yeah, 768 00:33:41,148 --> 00:33:43,668 Speaker 1: and in the cap situation, I just think it helps 769 00:33:43,668 --> 00:33:45,988 Speaker 1: you to figure something out because you have a quarterback 770 00:33:46,028 --> 00:33:47,788 Speaker 1: that played well. And I know, like you said, Jennie, 771 00:33:47,908 --> 00:33:49,148 Speaker 1: you don't know the future, but we don't know the 772 00:33:49,148 --> 00:33:51,588 Speaker 1: future about a lot of these quarterbacks. Like it's good 773 00:33:51,628 --> 00:33:53,588 Speaker 1: to see a guy play well like Jail and Hurst 774 00:33:53,588 --> 00:33:55,788 Speaker 1: play really well this year. A year ago, they say 775 00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:57,868 Speaker 1: he wasn't good. Now all of a sudden, he's a 776 00:33:57,908 --> 00:34:00,028 Speaker 1: future for the next fifteen years. So I think you 777 00:34:00,068 --> 00:34:02,428 Speaker 1: give a guy like Geno Smith, give him another opportunity, 778 00:34:02,468 --> 00:34:05,108 Speaker 1: give him a contract, Like you just said, rafted guy. 779 00:34:05,548 --> 00:34:08,228 Speaker 1: See what the guy ends up being. Maybe Genos your guy. 780 00:34:08,348 --> 00:34:10,188 Speaker 1: You got to you draft with decent Bacco. Using the 781 00:34:10,188 --> 00:34:12,108 Speaker 1: word future for a quarterback is tenuous for the team 782 00:34:12,108 --> 00:34:14,468 Speaker 1: you just talked about. Trey Lance was the future until 783 00:34:14,548 --> 00:34:16,828 Speaker 1: one and a half games into the season that you 784 00:34:16,908 --> 00:34:18,668 Speaker 1: got to figure out a different future for at least 785 00:34:18,668 --> 00:34:20,228 Speaker 1: for a couple of months at the time. It's cool 786 00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:22,268 Speaker 1: that we're going to do that all week long with 787 00:34:22,388 --> 00:34:26,428 Speaker 1: Divisions heater hopefully flying to Indy today, snow incoming, so 788 00:34:26,508 --> 00:34:28,668 Speaker 1: let's get you to Indy because then what are you doing? Yeah, 789 00:34:28,708 --> 00:34:30,708 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. The combines also gives is a 790 00:34:30,708 --> 00:34:32,908 Speaker 1: great opportunity to meet these kids. And I remember last 791 00:34:32,988 --> 00:34:35,268 Speaker 1: year Sauce Gardener showed up in a suit and tie 792 00:34:35,348 --> 00:34:36,708 Speaker 1: to the combine and like it was like, there's a 793 00:34:36,708 --> 00:34:39,028 Speaker 1: business trip and I'm like, love them already.

We're gonna have to know the personalities 796 00:34:43,348 --> 00:34:45,468 Speaker 1: of these kids. Two years ago, or when it was 797 00:34:45,548 --> 00:34:47,588 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, I got to talk with him in a 798 00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:49,068 Speaker 1: hallway and I was like, I love this kid.
