1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:26,948 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio Football. Welcome to Good Morning Football. We 3 00:00:26,948 --> 00:00:29,068 Speaker 1: are live in New York City. It is a Monday, 4 00:00:29,148 --> 00:00:33,028 Speaker 1: March twentieth. I'm Sarah Walsh alongside Jason mccordy from the 5 00:00:33,148 --> 00:00:37,348 Speaker 1: basketball powerhouse that is Princess because it is Kyle Brant 6 00:00:37,628 --> 00:00:39,668 Speaker 1: and from the great state of Minnesota. We got Tom 7 00:00:39,708 --> 00:00:43,868 Speaker 1: pellas studio. I don't even recognize you without the suit 8 00:00:43,908 --> 00:00:46,828 Speaker 1: of it. I don't recognize the hoodie. After the week 9 00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:48,908 Speaker 1: in the basement for free agency friends, he had to 10 00:00:48,948 --> 00:00:52,108 Speaker 1: come here to dress it down, to try to breathe 11 00:00:52,108 --> 00:00:55,068 Speaker 1: for a moment, to have actual human contact. That's always up. 12 00:00:55,948 --> 00:00:57,828 Speaker 1: Takes us right into this. It's time now for the 13 00:00:57,988 --> 00:01:00,908 Speaker 1: lead block, Tom. A couple of wide receivers on the 14 00:01:00,948 --> 00:01:03,668 Speaker 1: move over the weekend, and another big name still looking 15 00:01:03,748 --> 00:01:06,548 Speaker 1: for a home. What can you tell us? Adam Feelan 16 00:01:06,748 --> 00:01:09,828 Speaker 1: headed to the Carolina Panthers and former Vikings wide receiver. 17 00:01:09,908 --> 00:01:12,468 Speaker 1: It's a very legit deal. It's three years, twenty five 18 00:01:12,468 --> 00:01:15,428 Speaker 1: million dollars. He gets ten million dollars this season, fourteen 19 00:01:15,468 --> 00:01:17,708 Speaker 1: million dollars fully guaranteed and signed a lot of times 20 00:01:17,748 --> 00:01:20,108 Speaker 1: you're thirty two years old, you hit the free agent market. 21 00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:22,428 Speaker 1: It's hard to get that real money. But this shows 22 00:01:22,468 --> 00:01:26,228 Speaker 1: how much Caroline among other teams valued Adam Feeling. You know, 23 00:01:26,228 --> 00:01:28,108 Speaker 1: they got the number one pick. They're going to draft 24 00:01:28,108 --> 00:01:30,828 Speaker 1: a young quarterback, bringing in that vetteran receiver. Not on 25 00:01:30,868 --> 00:01:32,988 Speaker 1: a one year here, put on a multi year deal 26 00:01:33,028 --> 00:01:35,988 Speaker 1: to help that young quarterback grow into it. That's part 27 00:01:35,988 --> 00:01:38,268 Speaker 1: of the value for Adam Feeland, who's still got plenty 28 00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:41,588 Speaker 1: left in the tank. Meanwhile, Brandon Cooks on the move 29 00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:44,108 Speaker 1: yet again the annual story, this time being traded from 30 00:01:44,108 --> 00:01:46,828 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans to the Dallas Cowboys. This is a 31 00:01:46,908 --> 00:01:49,548 Speaker 1: pure salary dump for the Texans. It's for a twenty 32 00:01:49,548 --> 00:01:53,228 Speaker 1: twenty three fifth round pick, a twenty twenty four sixth 33 00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:55,828 Speaker 1: round pick. The Texans also eat six million dollars of 34 00:01:55,948 --> 00:01:59,908 Speaker 1: Cooks eighteen million dollars guaranteed salary for the Cowboys, though, 35 00:01:59,908 --> 00:02:01,708 Speaker 1: they get a guy who's sumhowt Brandon Cooks? How old 36 00:02:01,748 --> 00:02:07,068 Speaker 1: is he? Kyle thirty twenty nine? Brandon Cooks has somehow 37 00:02:07,188 --> 00:02:10,628 Speaker 1: nice Jason about twenty nine years old. He can still run. 38 00:02:10,868 --> 00:02:12,748 Speaker 1: It gives the Cowboys something he didn't have, which is 39 00:02:12,788 --> 00:02:15,268 Speaker 1: just a pure vertical speed threat. So that's why they 40 00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:17,228 Speaker 1: were willing to make the move for Brandon Cooks. And 41 00:02:17,268 --> 00:02:19,828 Speaker 1: it also means that in all likelihood, the Cowboys are 42 00:02:19,828 --> 00:02:22,708 Speaker 1: out on Odell Beckham Junior. He of course, had been 43 00:02:22,988 --> 00:02:26,148 Speaker 1: Jerry's fancy for quite some time here he envisioned with 44 00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:27,748 Speaker 1: the star on his helmet. They brought him in for 45 00:02:27,748 --> 00:02:29,588 Speaker 1: a visit last year. It wasn't quite ready to play. 46 00:02:29,868 --> 00:02:31,988 Speaker 1: Odell's ready to go now. He worked out for teams 47 00:02:31,988 --> 00:02:34,148 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. There were a bunch of 48 00:02:34,148 --> 00:02:37,228 Speaker 1: teams that attended that workout. The Cowboys actually wanted O'Dell 49 00:02:37,308 --> 00:02:40,588 Speaker 1: to come in and work out just for them in Dallas. 50 00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:42,628 Speaker 1: It doesn't end up going in that direction. There's still 51 00:02:42,668 --> 00:02:45,188 Speaker 1: going to be competition for Odell. You saw his tweet 52 00:02:45,188 --> 00:02:46,748 Speaker 1: over the weekend saying, I have still have seen the 53 00:02:46,828 --> 00:02:49,228 Speaker 1: quote where it says I'm asking for twenty million dollars 54 00:02:49,268 --> 00:02:51,748 Speaker 1: a year. He's not the numbers, not that high. But 55 00:02:51,828 --> 00:02:54,108 Speaker 1: he's not coming on the cheap either here. So where 56 00:02:54,188 --> 00:02:56,708 Speaker 1: is the best fit for Odell? We'll find out that 57 00:02:56,788 --> 00:02:58,428 Speaker 1: in the weeks to come. You know, it's great, you're 58 00:02:58,428 --> 00:03:01,268 Speaker 1: not on delay. Wait, you know what I mean. We 59 00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:02,788 Speaker 1: usually see Tom in the box and then we say 60 00:03:02,788 --> 00:03:05,548 Speaker 1: hang around, don't go anywhere, and you're not going anywhere 61 00:03:05,588 --> 00:03:07,828 Speaker 1: for the next three hours. So anytime anything happens, we're 62 00:03:07,868 --> 00:03:10,708 Speaker 1: just going straight across the desk. The addition of Brandon 63 00:03:10,748 --> 00:03:14,628 Speaker 1: Cooks has just won several recent personnel decisions by the Cowboys. 64 00:03:14,628 --> 00:03:17,108 Speaker 1: They have also acquired former defensive Player of the Year 65 00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:20,508 Speaker 1: Stevon Gilmore. They tagged running back Tony Pollard. On the 66 00:03:20,548 --> 00:03:24,308 Speaker 1: flip side, they released Ezekiel Elliott. They lost Noah Brown 67 00:03:24,388 --> 00:03:26,628 Speaker 1: to free agency. So guys, what do we make of 68 00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:30,628 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offseason plan of attack so far? Jason, I've 69 00:03:30,708 --> 00:03:33,428 Speaker 1: enjoyed it and I think we just hit on Brandon Cooks. 70 00:03:33,428 --> 00:03:36,468 Speaker 1: We talked about Stefan Gilmore coming over, But for Dallas, 71 00:03:36,548 --> 00:03:39,228 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed them keeping their guys in the house. We 72 00:03:39,268 --> 00:03:41,668 Speaker 1: saw some of them. They obviously cut Ezekiel la We 73 00:03:41,668 --> 00:03:43,868 Speaker 1: saw Noel Brown leaving some of those guys. When we 74 00:03:43,868 --> 00:03:45,988 Speaker 1: look at some of their notable free agents, it started 75 00:03:45,988 --> 00:03:48,908 Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard then tagging him and being able to 76 00:03:48,948 --> 00:03:51,348 Speaker 1: bring him back. But look all we had to bottom there. 77 00:03:51,428 --> 00:03:55,308 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith a restructured deal keeping him there. Keeping the 78 00:03:55,428 --> 00:03:58,828 Speaker 1: offensive line intact will go a long way. Cooper Russia, 79 00:03:58,828 --> 00:04:01,628 Speaker 1: guy that stepped up for them, and Dak Prescott's absence 80 00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:04,868 Speaker 1: last year, and then solidifying the defense, Van Esh and 81 00:04:04,908 --> 00:04:08,348 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson coming back for them. I think most importantly 82 00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:10,428 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the off season, they were able 83 00:04:10,468 --> 00:04:13,388 Speaker 1: to keep dan Quinn on the defensive side, his genius 84 00:04:13,388 --> 00:04:15,468 Speaker 1: and him drawing up the schemes. And now you look 85 00:04:15,468 --> 00:04:18,188 Speaker 1: at this Dallas Cowboys team who won twelve games last year, 86 00:04:18,428 --> 00:04:20,988 Speaker 1: and now you're adding a few pieces, but you're keeping 87 00:04:20,988 --> 00:04:23,308 Speaker 1: your guys that had that success. And I know the 88 00:04:23,348 --> 00:04:26,548 Speaker 1: playoff drought and how they've been doing not performing well, 89 00:04:26,628 --> 00:04:28,628 Speaker 1: losing back to back years to the forty nine ers 90 00:04:28,628 --> 00:04:31,108 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But if you're Mike McCarthy, you're taking 91 00:04:31,108 --> 00:04:33,748 Speaker 1: over the office this year. You kept dan Quinn, You're 92 00:04:33,748 --> 00:04:36,428 Speaker 1: bringing your guys back, You've added a few pieces. This 93 00:04:36,508 --> 00:04:38,468 Speaker 1: is a team where you start to feel good about them. 94 00:04:38,468 --> 00:04:40,988 Speaker 1: I know every all season we do, but for them, 95 00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:43,908 Speaker 1: adding veteran pieces that can help you figure out how 96 00:04:43,948 --> 00:04:45,908 Speaker 1: to win in those crucial moments, I think will go 97 00:04:45,948 --> 00:04:48,628 Speaker 1: a long way for this Dallas Cowboys team. So I'm 98 00:04:48,628 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 1: excited at the moves that they've made this off season, 99 00:04:51,428 --> 00:04:53,828 Speaker 1: as every Cowboys fan is around this time of the year. 100 00:04:53,908 --> 00:04:56,108 Speaker 1: But you should be excited. You've made the right moves 101 00:04:56,108 --> 00:04:57,988 Speaker 1: that you were supposed to make, and we'll see where 102 00:04:57,988 --> 00:04:59,828 Speaker 1: it lands them. They want a playoff game. Last Yeah, 103 00:05:00,028 --> 00:05:01,748 Speaker 1: it was great. There was a really good sison for 104 00:05:01,748 --> 00:05:03,868 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Tim, do you have any information is the 105 00:05:03,868 --> 00:05:07,228 Speaker 1: package for the Cooks included any of the future therapy 106 00:05:07,268 --> 00:05:09,948 Speaker 1: he's going to need for being traded? Over and over? 107 00:05:10,188 --> 00:05:12,748 Speaker 1: What does Brandon Cooks deal? Why does no one want him? 108 00:05:12,748 --> 00:05:14,268 Speaker 1: Why does no one love him? You know, he's been 109 00:05:14,268 --> 00:05:17,668 Speaker 1: traded four times? All he does every time is get traded. 110 00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:20,388 Speaker 1: Show up, be five foot ten, route people up, people deep, 111 00:05:20,428 --> 00:05:23,268 Speaker 1: be a professional, never says squat, puts up numbers, and 112 00:05:23,348 --> 00:05:25,948 Speaker 1: yet nobody wants him. Let's save this clip right now. 113 00:05:25,908 --> 00:05:28,228 Speaker 1: It's for a year from now when Brandon Cooks is 114 00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:30,508 Speaker 1: traded again and you report it and we will look 115 00:05:30,508 --> 00:05:32,308 Speaker 1: back on are you into it? They've been trying to 116 00:05:32,668 --> 00:05:34,828 Speaker 1: trade Brandon Cooks for a year now always, which is 117 00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:38,388 Speaker 1: amazing because the Texans they initially redd his contract, they 118 00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:40,588 Speaker 1: shaved off the last year because he was unhappy there. 119 00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:42,668 Speaker 1: A year later, he's unhappy again, so they extended his 120 00:05:42,668 --> 00:05:45,188 Speaker 1: contract him a bunch more guaranteed money, which made him untradable. 121 00:05:45,188 --> 00:05:47,388 Speaker 1: Now you finally have to do basically just a complete 122 00:05:47,428 --> 00:05:49,828 Speaker 1: salary dump on the guy. He still can run. That's 123 00:05:49,868 --> 00:05:53,188 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. Very skill. He's got speed and you cannot 124 00:05:53,188 --> 00:05:55,268 Speaker 1: buy speed, well you can. You can give twelve million dollars. 125 00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:58,388 Speaker 1: He's a professional and they got one. That's exactly what 126 00:05:58,428 --> 00:06:00,428 Speaker 1: he does. So is that going to work out for 127 00:06:00,468 --> 00:06:02,948 Speaker 1: the Cowboys? We'll find out. He's not the typical Mike 128 00:06:03,028 --> 00:06:06,108 Speaker 1: McCarthy receiver you through all the years, Like in Green Bay, 129 00:06:06,148 --> 00:06:08,588 Speaker 1: it was James Jones, it was Greg Jennings, it was 130 00:06:08,588 --> 00:06:10,828 Speaker 1: these guys who had these They were long levered, they 131 00:06:10,868 --> 00:06:13,068 Speaker 1: were bigger types of receivers, they had really good hands. 132 00:06:13,108 --> 00:06:16,188 Speaker 1: Bredon Cooks is a smaller type of a guy. Is 133 00:06:16,228 --> 00:06:18,308 Speaker 1: he going to fit the way that Dallas wants to play? 134 00:06:18,348 --> 00:06:19,828 Speaker 1: That might be the biggest part that wasn't on that 135 00:06:19,868 --> 00:06:22,508 Speaker 1: board of the Cowboys offseason here, which is party ways. 136 00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:25,668 Speaker 1: With Kellen Moore Mike McCarthy taking over the offensive play calling, 137 00:06:25,788 --> 00:06:27,508 Speaker 1: this is going to not just be a different play caller, 138 00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:29,908 Speaker 1: This is a different scheme. They're going back to Mike 139 00:06:29,988 --> 00:06:32,588 Speaker 1: McCarthy's version of the West Coast offense. Here. They are 140 00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:34,868 Speaker 1: going to play differently. It's not going to be this 141 00:06:35,068 --> 00:06:37,428 Speaker 1: that quote that got taken completely out of context about 142 00:06:37,468 --> 00:06:39,228 Speaker 1: running the football. Look at the run numbers from twenty 143 00:06:39,268 --> 00:06:41,468 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty one to twenty two. They ran a 144 00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:43,628 Speaker 1: lot more. McCarthy was talking about twenty twenty when they 145 00:06:43,668 --> 00:06:45,908 Speaker 1: were completely passed first and they got way out of whack. 146 00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:48,988 Speaker 1: He wants to be balanced. They brought back Tony Pollard, 147 00:06:48,988 --> 00:06:51,028 Speaker 1: who's econom MC government was a big deal to the Bills. 148 00:06:51,068 --> 00:06:52,788 Speaker 1: That was one that they wanted to keep around here. 149 00:06:52,828 --> 00:06:55,028 Speaker 1: So you're still gonna need probably another offensive lineman who 150 00:06:55,068 --> 00:06:56,668 Speaker 1: knows what they're gonna do with tight end. They drafted 151 00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,068 Speaker 1: all those guys, but no Dalton Schoulzre now, so you 152 00:06:59,148 --> 00:07:02,108 Speaker 1: got some questions there. There's some other pieces they need 153 00:07:02,148 --> 00:07:04,508 Speaker 1: to put into place, But for me, the biggest over 154 00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:08,348 Speaker 1: the entire offseason is a stylistic shift in terms of 155 00:07:08,388 --> 00:07:10,788 Speaker 1: their offense. We'll see how it looks, but I would 156 00:07:10,868 --> 00:07:13,268 Speaker 1: bet you the Dak Prescott's gonna be really efficient with 157 00:07:13,268 --> 00:07:15,588 Speaker 1: the way that they do I always get accused them 158 00:07:15,628 --> 00:07:18,588 Speaker 1: not saying anything positive about the Cowboys and directfully so 159 00:07:18,908 --> 00:07:20,388 Speaker 1: I like the stuff. You know what I like is 160 00:07:20,548 --> 00:07:23,708 Speaker 1: I feel like responsible choices are being you know those 161 00:07:23,748 --> 00:07:25,628 Speaker 1: thing back in the eighties they had those bug lamps. 162 00:07:25,708 --> 00:07:27,388 Speaker 1: Dude hang on a front portion and be this blue 163 00:07:27,428 --> 00:07:29,068 Speaker 1: electric thing and the bugs would just fly into it 164 00:07:29,068 --> 00:07:31,188 Speaker 1: and die. Yeah, they can't help themselves. The light is 165 00:07:31,228 --> 00:07:33,148 Speaker 1: so beautiful. They know they're gonna die. They watched fifty 166 00:07:33,148 --> 00:07:35,028 Speaker 1: of their friends. I was like, I'm gonna try dead. 167 00:07:35,868 --> 00:07:37,908 Speaker 1: They didn't find the bug lamp. O'Dell is a bug 168 00:07:37,948 --> 00:07:40,868 Speaker 1: lamp for the Cowboys. Ezekiel Elliott is a bug lamp 169 00:07:40,868 --> 00:07:43,148 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Ezekiel Elliott had morphed into a short 170 00:07:43,228 --> 00:07:44,868 Speaker 1: yards running back who was paying a lot of money. 171 00:07:44,868 --> 00:07:47,068 Speaker 1: They are rid of them. I'm proud of them. O'Dell 172 00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,508 Speaker 1: is born to be a Jerry Jones player, the star. 173 00:07:49,628 --> 00:07:51,588 Speaker 1: We did the photoshops and all that big time bug 174 00:07:51,628 --> 00:07:53,948 Speaker 1: lamp coming off an injury. They didn't get them, and 175 00:07:53,948 --> 00:07:58,428 Speaker 1: they got something such more practical and prudent and responsible 176 00:07:58,468 --> 00:08:00,788 Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks. It's like they're all growing up. I'm 177 00:08:00,868 --> 00:08:04,148 Speaker 1: very proud of the Cowboys. I'm impressed responsible choices that 178 00:08:04,428 --> 00:08:07,068 Speaker 1: are not boring. They're still bold. Pollard and Cooks are 179 00:08:07,108 --> 00:08:09,268 Speaker 1: still bolding in mail and in. They did the non 180 00:08:09,268 --> 00:08:11,148 Speaker 1: cowboy thing, and maybe that i'll work this year. I'm 181 00:08:11,188 --> 00:08:13,468 Speaker 1: into it. It's the minivan of Rosters, is what you're 182 00:08:13,468 --> 00:08:16,268 Speaker 1: saying here. It's not flashy. Just get the thing with 183 00:08:16,348 --> 00:08:18,788 Speaker 1: the sliding door. The kids like it, easy in and out, 184 00:08:18,868 --> 00:08:20,548 Speaker 1: easy to clean, It's got a couple of screens in 185 00:08:20,588 --> 00:08:22,748 Speaker 1: the back. Just do the right thing because you've got 186 00:08:22,788 --> 00:08:25,428 Speaker 1: all the other talent in place. They do between Dak Prescott, 187 00:08:25,428 --> 00:08:28,908 Speaker 1: they tagged Tony Pollard. You've got Ceedee Lamb, who's a superstar, 188 00:08:29,068 --> 00:08:31,188 Speaker 1: got it when he's on. You've got a pretty good 189 00:08:31,188 --> 00:08:33,628 Speaker 1: offensive line, and defensively they're the best that they've ever been. 190 00:08:33,908 --> 00:08:36,668 Speaker 1: Yad Stefan Gilmour. Yeah he was also flipped for a 191 00:08:36,668 --> 00:08:38,948 Speaker 1: fifth round pick, but that was not just a dump 192 00:08:38,988 --> 00:08:40,828 Speaker 1: by the Cowboys. It's just a matter of having respect 193 00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:43,108 Speaker 1: for Stefan Gilmour, who at this stage is look at 194 00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:45,548 Speaker 1: the Colts and saying this is probably a rebuild type 195 00:08:45,588 --> 00:08:47,908 Speaker 1: of a situation. Here. I'm in this. I want my 196 00:08:47,988 --> 00:08:49,908 Speaker 1: legacy to be a certain way. I want a chance 197 00:08:49,948 --> 00:08:51,788 Speaker 1: to win big let me go someplace else. So to 198 00:08:51,868 --> 00:08:53,708 Speaker 1: the credit of the Colts and Chris Ballard, they were 199 00:08:53,748 --> 00:08:56,588 Speaker 1: willing to work with him on that. So he's still 200 00:08:56,908 --> 00:08:59,188 Speaker 1: he's still really really good. Is he Defensive Player of 201 00:08:59,228 --> 00:09:02,148 Speaker 1: the Year Stefan Gilmour. We'll find out, but he's still 202 00:09:02,188 --> 00:09:04,628 Speaker 1: an awful good player. Nicole's playing about responsibility. I think 203 00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:07,908 Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that it's not Odell and it it 204 00:09:08,068 --> 00:09:10,628 Speaker 1: was the most obvious choice. And I think the reason 205 00:09:10,748 --> 00:09:14,068 Speaker 1: I'm more surprised is because this was happening last year, 206 00:09:14,268 --> 00:09:16,668 Speaker 1: Like in the middle of the season last year, Odell 207 00:09:17,148 --> 00:09:19,268 Speaker 1: was going to the Cowboys, and I feel like it 208 00:09:19,348 --> 00:09:21,948 Speaker 1: was such a predominant storyline for the longest time. And 209 00:09:21,948 --> 00:09:23,748 Speaker 1: then we get to the offseason. They don't pull the 210 00:09:23,748 --> 00:09:26,708 Speaker 1: trigger in last year and bring him there. Odell continues 211 00:09:26,748 --> 00:09:28,548 Speaker 1: to work out, he shows up, he's in great shape, 212 00:09:28,548 --> 00:09:30,548 Speaker 1: he does the workout, Everyone's like, Okay, it's ob j 213 00:09:30,748 --> 00:09:33,188 Speaker 1: he's back. And I just thought it was like a 214 00:09:33,308 --> 00:09:36,708 Speaker 1: done deal to the Cowboys, And so I'm really surprised. 215 00:09:36,708 --> 00:09:38,748 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it was the wrong thing that 216 00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:41,268 Speaker 1: it didn't happen, but it's just the very uncowboys like 217 00:09:41,428 --> 00:09:43,268 Speaker 1: thing to not have that deal go down the way 218 00:09:43,308 --> 00:09:45,468 Speaker 1: it did. And now when you look at Odell, I mean, 219 00:09:45,588 --> 00:09:47,508 Speaker 1: Tom White, didn't it happen? I mean, what was it 220 00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:50,228 Speaker 1: when Jerry seemed to want this guy so bad months 221 00:09:50,228 --> 00:09:52,788 Speaker 1: into last season and then he's sitting there this offseason. 222 00:09:53,068 --> 00:09:55,428 Speaker 1: I'm just surprised and made him do it. Kyle's right, 223 00:09:55,548 --> 00:09:58,828 Speaker 1: there's a counterbalance to Jerry Jones in that building right now, 224 00:09:58,868 --> 00:10:01,348 Speaker 1: and it's Stephen Jones, it's Will McClay, it's Mike McCarthy. 225 00:10:01,828 --> 00:10:04,308 Speaker 1: If Jerry were just running this the way that Jerry 226 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:08,028 Speaker 1: did ten years ago. Odell's absolutely on the team, But 227 00:10:08,148 --> 00:10:10,228 Speaker 1: you have to look at the overall roster building part 228 00:10:10,228 --> 00:10:12,828 Speaker 1: of it. McCarthy comes from a background of you build 229 00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:15,468 Speaker 1: through the draft. You pay your own guys, you don't 230 00:10:15,468 --> 00:10:17,548 Speaker 1: go out and you trade high draft picks. You don't 231 00:10:17,548 --> 00:10:19,668 Speaker 1: trade first rounders for people. The fact that they gave 232 00:10:19,748 --> 00:10:21,468 Speaker 1: up they give up two fives in the six and 233 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:24,428 Speaker 1: they got Stefan Gilmour and branding's great, that's pretty good 234 00:10:24,508 --> 00:10:26,428 Speaker 1: value you have to pay them, But that's cash. To 235 00:10:26,508 --> 00:10:28,188 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, It's gonna be fine, but you don't give 236 00:10:28,268 --> 00:10:30,268 Speaker 1: up the draft capital here. I think that's the reason 237 00:10:30,308 --> 00:10:32,228 Speaker 1: that it doesn't happen here, which is they're looking at 238 00:10:32,268 --> 00:10:35,268 Speaker 1: the overall team, how the parts fit together, what you 239 00:10:35,308 --> 00:10:37,868 Speaker 1: get the best value for. They've done a pretty good 240 00:10:37,908 --> 00:10:39,148 Speaker 1: job of that and that's why they got a good 241 00:10:39,188 --> 00:10:43,428 Speaker 1: roster before the draft. Be sure to stream all the 242 00:10:43,428 --> 00:10:46,228 Speaker 1: biggest pro days on NFL Plus. On Wednesday, you can 243 00:10:46,228 --> 00:10:50,268 Speaker 1: catch CJ. Strouds Pro Day, followed by Bryce Young on Thursday. 244 00:10:50,308 --> 00:10:52,388 Speaker 1: Will Levis is going to be on Friday, and then 245 00:10:52,428 --> 00:10:56,308 Speaker 1: Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson closes us out on March thirtieth. 246 00:10:56,308 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 1: It is only on NFL Plus, so it is time 247 00:10:59,788 --> 00:11:02,708 Speaker 1: out to play a game. Believe it or not. We've 248 00:11:02,708 --> 00:11:05,348 Speaker 1: got a slew of big name quarterbacks that are gonna 249 00:11:05,348 --> 00:11:08,228 Speaker 1: be working out for NFL scouts this week during their 250 00:11:08,228 --> 00:11:11,308 Speaker 1: school's pro day, including the Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, 251 00:11:11,508 --> 00:11:14,588 Speaker 1: who did not throw at the NFL Combine earlier this month. 252 00:11:14,628 --> 00:11:17,988 Speaker 1: So given that Bryce Young is the quarterback with the 253 00:11:18,028 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 1: most at stake during his pro day, guys, believe it 254 00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:23,748 Speaker 1: or not, I'm going with not on this one. I 255 00:11:23,828 --> 00:11:25,908 Speaker 1: know Bryce Young didn't go out to Combine, so everybody 256 00:11:25,948 --> 00:11:27,708 Speaker 1: will be watching them, all eyes will be on him. 257 00:11:27,708 --> 00:11:29,908 Speaker 1: But I look at Anthony Richardson, I look at his 258 00:11:29,948 --> 00:11:31,948 Speaker 1: Pro day and what he did at the Combine. I mean, 259 00:11:31,948 --> 00:11:34,788 Speaker 1: this guy measured in sixty four two hundred and forty pounds, 260 00:11:34,868 --> 00:11:37,948 Speaker 1: ran a four four three vertical of forty inch and 261 00:11:37,948 --> 00:11:40,548 Speaker 1: then broad jump like at ten nine or something like that. 262 00:11:40,548 --> 00:11:43,708 Speaker 1: That level of athleticism. You leave the combine, every scout, 263 00:11:43,788 --> 00:11:45,588 Speaker 1: every team a lot. You know, we got to go 264 00:11:45,588 --> 00:11:47,988 Speaker 1: back and rewatch this guy's tape. Let's see what he's 265 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:49,708 Speaker 1: showing us, to see if he's the player that we're 266 00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:52,228 Speaker 1: seeing here at the combine. A guy like Bryce Young, 267 00:11:52,308 --> 00:11:54,588 Speaker 1: he is who he is. Yes, there's question marks on 268 00:11:54,628 --> 00:11:56,588 Speaker 1: his height, but you know he can throw the ball around, 269 00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:59,828 Speaker 1: you know his leadership, you know the intangibles that he possesses. 270 00:12:00,068 --> 00:12:02,588 Speaker 1: To me, a guy like Anthony Richardson is that outlier 271 00:12:02,668 --> 00:12:05,708 Speaker 1: of like all right, his film he splashes, He shows 272 00:12:05,708 --> 00:12:08,428 Speaker 1: you some great plays with the consistency all of those 273 00:12:08,468 --> 00:12:11,268 Speaker 1: different things. So I think when you go into pro day, 274 00:12:11,308 --> 00:12:12,828 Speaker 1: you want to see the accuracy. You want to see 275 00:12:12,908 --> 00:12:15,228 Speaker 1: him throwing the ball to his receivers and things of 276 00:12:15,228 --> 00:12:18,028 Speaker 1: that nature. So for me, he possibly has the most 277 00:12:18,028 --> 00:12:20,668 Speaker 1: at stake because who knows where he can end up 278 00:12:20,828 --> 00:12:23,748 Speaker 1: and how much he impresses everybody watching. It's Bryce Young 279 00:12:24,188 --> 00:12:25,988 Speaker 1: one of the most at stake. I believe it. And 280 00:12:26,028 --> 00:12:28,868 Speaker 1: here's why, because whenever you have a player in any position, 281 00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:33,028 Speaker 1: but particularly quarterback, who doesn't fit the normal mold, everybody's 282 00:12:33,028 --> 00:12:35,348 Speaker 1: gonna be looking for a reason not to draft the guy. 283 00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:38,988 Speaker 1: Can we see some of the classic undersized quarterback Pro 284 00:12:39,108 --> 00:12:43,348 Speaker 1: days from years past? Here, Let's start out with Johnny Manziel. 285 00:12:43,748 --> 00:12:45,868 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush was at this one on a 286 00:12:45,948 --> 00:12:48,268 Speaker 1: golf cart. Okay, this was one of the all time. 287 00:12:48,428 --> 00:12:51,308 Speaker 1: He was wearing shoulder pads for reasons that weren't entirely clear, 288 00:12:51,508 --> 00:12:53,628 Speaker 1: probably to make himself look a little bit bigger. That 289 00:12:53,788 --> 00:12:57,268 Speaker 1: helped him out. You had Baker Mayfield, you had Kyler Murray. 290 00:12:57,588 --> 00:12:59,668 Speaker 1: When you see these guys up close, the reason that 291 00:12:59,788 --> 00:13:03,268 Speaker 1: scouts and coaches still go to Pro days is because 292 00:13:03,308 --> 00:13:04,748 Speaker 1: you want a body type guy. Do you want to 293 00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:06,548 Speaker 1: see what the quarterbacks how the ball comes out of 294 00:13:06,588 --> 00:13:07,988 Speaker 1: his hand. They also just want to see what he 295 00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:11,348 Speaker 1: looks like moving around. It's not just the hike for 296 00:13:11,508 --> 00:13:13,868 Speaker 1: Bryce Young, it's also the size he had bolted up. 297 00:13:13,988 --> 00:13:15,868 Speaker 1: It was two hundred four pounds at the Combine at 298 00:13:15,868 --> 00:13:18,388 Speaker 1: five ten and one eight. He was playing last year 299 00:13:18,388 --> 00:13:21,268 Speaker 1: at like a buck eighty six at Alabama, So what 300 00:13:21,348 --> 00:13:23,548 Speaker 1: does he wait? What does he look like? I wouldn't 301 00:13:23,548 --> 00:13:25,468 Speaker 1: have thrown either if I were Bryce Young At the Combines. 302 00:13:25,468 --> 00:13:27,628 Speaker 1: You're standing next to Will Levis and they're going, that's 303 00:13:27,628 --> 00:13:29,428 Speaker 1: what the quarterbacks supposed to look like. But then he 304 00:13:29,468 --> 00:13:31,108 Speaker 1: talked to the coaches and the sketch who have watched 305 00:13:31,108 --> 00:13:32,828 Speaker 1: the tape, and they say, Bryce Young throws it as 306 00:13:32,828 --> 00:13:34,828 Speaker 1: well as anybody, So get on the field. He's the 307 00:13:34,868 --> 00:13:37,268 Speaker 1: one guy who hasn't thrown. Let's see what he looks like. 308 00:13:37,308 --> 00:13:41,348 Speaker 1: They're isolated, just him showcasing what he does best, and potentially, 309 00:13:41,468 --> 00:13:43,548 Speaker 1: despite all the measurables, could end up being the number 310 00:13:43,548 --> 00:13:46,308 Speaker 1: one pick. I've watched playoff games that were less exciting 311 00:13:46,348 --> 00:13:48,948 Speaker 1: than the Johnny Menzel pro day. It was not unbelievable events. 312 00:13:48,948 --> 00:13:52,068 Speaker 1: It was non stop Drake being played. The President was there, 313 00:13:52,588 --> 00:13:55,508 Speaker 1: he was wearing shorts that matched your sweatshirt, like camouflage 314 00:13:55,508 --> 00:13:58,148 Speaker 1: shorts and pat It was so strange and such a thing, 315 00:13:58,188 --> 00:13:59,988 Speaker 1: and he was such a massive deal at the time. 316 00:14:00,028 --> 00:14:02,148 Speaker 1: It's a great pole. Tim. I'm also gonna I believe 317 00:14:02,148 --> 00:14:05,388 Speaker 1: this completely. This monster that is the NFL draft process 318 00:14:05,628 --> 00:14:08,988 Speaker 1: wants Bryce Young to miss some throws. They want him 319 00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:11,068 Speaker 1: to come back to the path. It's more compelling when 320 00:14:11,068 --> 00:14:13,068 Speaker 1: there is not a consensus. Number one. I look all 321 00:14:13,068 --> 00:14:15,148 Speaker 1: the time at the twenty eighteen draft was my favorite 322 00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:17,188 Speaker 1: draft of this era, and it's Sam Donald. That's Sam 323 00:14:17,268 --> 00:14:19,708 Speaker 1: Donald at Sam Donald over enough time and enough dolls, 324 00:14:19,828 --> 00:14:21,908 Speaker 1: enough this and that Baker Mayfield willed himself to be 325 00:14:21,948 --> 00:14:23,788 Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. This thing could change. 326 00:14:23,788 --> 00:14:25,708 Speaker 1: It could change twice, it could change three times. This 327 00:14:25,788 --> 00:14:27,868 Speaker 1: is not Trevor Lawrence. This is not Andrew luck. If 328 00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:30,468 Speaker 1: he shows up and throws perfectly, maybe he does separate. 329 00:14:30,668 --> 00:14:33,108 Speaker 1: If there's a little this like the doubter is gonna 330 00:14:33,108 --> 00:14:34,668 Speaker 1: be out there, look at this, Look at the arm release, 331 00:14:34,668 --> 00:14:36,868 Speaker 1: look at blah blah blah. It comes back to the masses, 332 00:14:36,868 --> 00:14:38,868 Speaker 1: and then we have a who done it basically moving forward. 333 00:14:38,908 --> 00:14:40,308 Speaker 1: I think it's a huge deal for him. He could 334 00:14:40,308 --> 00:14:41,828 Speaker 1: put it away or he'd come back to the pack. 335 00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:43,548 Speaker 1: I'm at Jason on this one in terms of it. 336 00:14:43,588 --> 00:14:45,028 Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's gonna make a difference for 337 00:14:45,068 --> 00:14:46,828 Speaker 1: him because I don't think he's gonna miss throws. I 338 00:14:46,868 --> 00:14:48,988 Speaker 1: don't think he's got he's gonna do everything that he 339 00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:51,948 Speaker 1: is scripted to do. I mean, it's a controlled environment. 340 00:14:51,988 --> 00:14:54,028 Speaker 1: They're playing to his strength. And then the other thing 341 00:14:54,068 --> 00:14:56,348 Speaker 1: is when you say that they they're gonna knock his height. 342 00:14:56,548 --> 00:14:58,748 Speaker 1: He's not gonna get bigger or smaller at this prote 343 00:14:58,828 --> 00:15:01,588 Speaker 1: on Friday. He's just not sting, is what it is. Like. 344 00:15:01,588 --> 00:15:04,108 Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do. He's going to do what 345 00:15:04,108 --> 00:15:07,028 Speaker 1: you think he should do in an environment that has 346 00:15:07,028 --> 00:15:09,508 Speaker 1: been controlled for him. And when you talk about isolated, 347 00:15:09,588 --> 00:15:12,428 Speaker 1: it's just him. Well yeah, but when he steps out 348 00:15:12,428 --> 00:15:14,268 Speaker 1: there on a football field in front of sixty seventy 349 00:15:14,308 --> 00:15:16,708 Speaker 1: thousand people, it's not just him. It's these other guys. 350 00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:19,268 Speaker 1: It's huge defensive linemen that are coming at him that 351 00:15:19,308 --> 00:15:21,548 Speaker 1: he's got to work round. I mean, it's just to me. 352 00:15:21,668 --> 00:15:23,588 Speaker 1: I just don't think that that changes. I think we're 353 00:15:23,628 --> 00:15:25,988 Speaker 1: going to go into this draft not knowing the clear 354 00:15:26,068 --> 00:15:28,828 Speaker 1: number one, which is awesome, it's exciting, it's drama filled. 355 00:15:28,868 --> 00:15:30,348 Speaker 1: But I don't think you're gonna watch him on Pro 356 00:15:30,428 --> 00:15:32,028 Speaker 1: Day and go, oh, well, now, it's clear this is 357 00:15:32,028 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 1: the guy. The guy want to hire him a trophy. 358 00:15:33,508 --> 00:15:35,428 Speaker 1: I just don't think there's any It's not gonna dazzle 359 00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,388 Speaker 1: you at a pro day in the sense of you're 360 00:15:37,428 --> 00:15:39,588 Speaker 1: going to see what you expect to see from him 361 00:15:39,588 --> 00:15:41,788 Speaker 1: when it comes to controlled environments. Though I do remember this. 362 00:15:41,868 --> 00:15:43,908 Speaker 1: It feels like a million years ago. I was in 363 00:15:43,988 --> 00:15:46,748 Speaker 1: Nashville at Jay Cutler's pro day and it was a nasty, windy, 364 00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:50,548 Speaker 1: terrible day outside, and he was just throwing lasers, which 365 00:15:50,588 --> 00:15:52,228 Speaker 1: you know Jay Cutler can do, but that was an 366 00:15:52,268 --> 00:15:54,068 Speaker 1: invironment they couldn't control, like the weather, and it was 367 00:15:54,108 --> 00:15:57,228 Speaker 1: just terrible out because he just crushed everything. Everything was 368 00:15:57,268 --> 00:16:00,548 Speaker 1: on a dime in bad conditions. I remember the scouts 369 00:16:00,588 --> 00:16:02,508 Speaker 1: back then, we're like, oh my god. And then Jay, 370 00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,868 Speaker 1: you know, Cutler was, you know, going up the drafts. 371 00:16:04,988 --> 00:16:06,868 Speaker 1: But I remember being at that pro day. People were 372 00:16:06,908 --> 00:16:09,188 Speaker 1: so impressed by that because it wasn't that Cutler like 373 00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:10,988 Speaker 1: versus Vince Young like that was the I think I 374 00:16:10,988 --> 00:16:14,188 Speaker 1: have the class right. Great draft class was six draft right. 375 00:16:14,308 --> 00:16:16,708 Speaker 1: I think if you if you ask scouts and coaches 376 00:16:16,748 --> 00:16:18,828 Speaker 1: gms around the league, like the greatest pro days of 377 00:16:18,828 --> 00:16:21,908 Speaker 1: all time? Sam Bradford is going to be in there, interesting, 378 00:16:21,948 --> 00:16:24,468 Speaker 1: and Zack Wilson is going to be in there. Well, 379 00:16:24,908 --> 00:16:26,988 Speaker 1: remember that one. If you get dazzled solely by the 380 00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:30,148 Speaker 1: Pro Day, you're potentially elevating that above some other things 381 00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:32,828 Speaker 1: in terms of the factors here, Daniel still press about 382 00:16:32,868 --> 00:16:35,668 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Oh my gosh, I think Zach Wilson os DJ. 383 00:16:35,868 --> 00:16:38,108 Speaker 1: Some money DJ was happening one that day and it 384 00:16:38,108 --> 00:16:57,228 Speaker 1: wasn't was impressive. Jimmy Garoppo, Yeah, and he joined NFL 385 00:16:57,348 --> 00:17:01,108 Speaker 1: Total Access and was asked about facing Kansas City twice 386 00:17:01,308 --> 00:17:05,228 Speaker 1: a year. It's exciting. Whatever you get to play against 387 00:17:05,268 --> 00:17:06,788 Speaker 1: the best, that's what you want to do. You want 388 00:17:06,788 --> 00:17:09,988 Speaker 1: to be measure yourself, see your team's at And obviously 389 00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:11,748 Speaker 1: this division is as good as it gets. So he'll 390 00:17:11,788 --> 00:17:13,628 Speaker 1: be a good test for us out the entire year 391 00:17:13,628 --> 00:17:16,268 Speaker 1: and get us ready for the playoffs. All right, So 392 00:17:16,388 --> 00:17:21,068 Speaker 1: Garoppolo has already had Josh McDaniels Raiders making the playoffs. 393 00:17:21,108 --> 00:17:23,948 Speaker 1: If you want to listen to some folks ken Josh 394 00:17:24,188 --> 00:17:31,788 Speaker 1: and Jimmy's Raiders really challenge the Chiefs in twenty twenty three. No, Jason, 395 00:17:31,788 --> 00:17:34,468 Speaker 1: what do you think I mean? Challenge, like how like 396 00:17:34,988 --> 00:17:38,828 Speaker 1: playing competitive game at the two matchups are like challenge, 397 00:17:38,868 --> 00:17:42,508 Speaker 1: like they're challenging for the division, like there's levels to 398 00:17:42,548 --> 00:17:45,028 Speaker 1: this thing. They're not gonna challenge them to win the 399 00:17:45,068 --> 00:17:47,388 Speaker 1: AFC West by no mean are they're gonna have a 400 00:17:47,428 --> 00:17:51,988 Speaker 1: close game. I mean yeah that COSI the NFL given Sunday, 401 00:17:52,308 --> 00:17:54,148 Speaker 1: so they could be a close game. But I look 402 00:17:54,228 --> 00:17:57,268 Speaker 1: back to Jimmy G and Josh McDaniel's connections. Jimmy G 403 00:17:57,428 --> 00:17:59,668 Speaker 1: had two starts and as New England Patriots days, and 404 00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:02,068 Speaker 1: that's what I'm more excited to see what they're able 405 00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:05,068 Speaker 1: to put together in Vegas. Can they gonna go back 406 00:18:05,108 --> 00:18:07,308 Speaker 1: into what Jimmy's two starts because I think sometimes we 407 00:18:07,308 --> 00:18:08,748 Speaker 1: look at his New England times and it was just 408 00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:10,788 Speaker 1: like Jimmy was really good for the Patriots. It was 409 00:18:10,788 --> 00:18:14,228 Speaker 1: two starts. It wasn't this long history. Two starts. Yes, 410 00:18:14,308 --> 00:18:15,868 Speaker 1: it was two wins and he played great. I think 411 00:18:15,868 --> 00:18:18,868 Speaker 1: it was four touchdowns, zero interceptions all that, and he 412 00:18:18,948 --> 00:18:21,828 Speaker 1: got hurt and that was it. Jacoby Brissette got in 413 00:18:21,828 --> 00:18:23,308 Speaker 1: the game and they had a game where he really 414 00:18:23,308 --> 00:18:25,908 Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback. So to me, I just wanted 415 00:18:25,908 --> 00:18:28,668 Speaker 1: to see what they're able to put together, these two 416 00:18:28,748 --> 00:18:32,108 Speaker 1: as they reconnect down here in Vegas. But when we 417 00:18:32,228 --> 00:18:35,268 Speaker 1: started talking about playoffs and challenging the Chiefs and playing 418 00:18:35,308 --> 00:18:37,268 Speaker 1: against the best, it's it's like, all right, let's just 419 00:18:37,308 --> 00:18:40,588 Speaker 1: try to become the better version of ourselves. The Raiders 420 00:18:40,588 --> 00:18:42,588 Speaker 1: weren't great last year, but now I was gonna be 421 00:18:42,668 --> 00:18:45,068 Speaker 1: year two under McDaniels and Dave Ziegler is a GM. 422 00:18:45,348 --> 00:18:47,828 Speaker 1: Let's see what Jimmy can add to this team. Because 423 00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:50,468 Speaker 1: Carl was a really good quarterback throughout those nine years. 424 00:18:50,508 --> 00:18:52,268 Speaker 1: Was he elite and all of those things, No, but 425 00:18:52,308 --> 00:18:54,348 Speaker 1: he was a good quarterback for this franchise. So let's 426 00:18:54,388 --> 00:18:56,188 Speaker 1: see where Jimmy g can take him. I think we're 427 00:18:56,188 --> 00:18:58,388 Speaker 1: selling the Raider short here, and that's how to say that. 428 00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:00,748 Speaker 1: I'm betting against Patrick Mahomes. She saw last year. We 429 00:19:00,788 --> 00:19:02,068 Speaker 1: talked about it when I was on this show a 430 00:19:02,148 --> 00:19:05,388 Speaker 1: year ago. We talked about every team sept the Chiefs 431 00:19:05,548 --> 00:19:09,068 Speaker 1: all week. It was the big Raiders moves, big Russell Wilson. 432 00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:12,748 Speaker 1: The Raiders still have Max Crosby, Chandler Jones, Pat Russell 433 00:19:12,828 --> 00:19:15,268 Speaker 1: the passer, They still Davante Adams, they got the league's 434 00:19:15,308 --> 00:19:17,948 Speaker 1: leading Rusher in Josh Jacob's back, You're going to be 435 00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:20,868 Speaker 1: a year further into building that program with Josh McDaniels, 436 00:19:20,908 --> 00:19:23,588 Speaker 1: which you know is it's hard to replicate the New 437 00:19:23,628 --> 00:19:27,068 Speaker 1: England program any place else. And you bring in Jimmy 438 00:19:27,028 --> 00:19:30,588 Speaker 1: Garoppolo as we came into the free agency period with 439 00:19:30,748 --> 00:19:33,348 Speaker 1: two names a quarterback that everybody was talking about, Lamar 440 00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:38,468 Speaker 1: Jackson Jimmy Garoppolo. Now, obviously they are completely different styles 441 00:19:38,588 --> 00:19:41,068 Speaker 1: of players, and obviously they're both guys who have missed 442 00:19:41,068 --> 00:19:43,588 Speaker 1: some time. Lamar particularly over the last two years. Jimmy 443 00:19:43,748 --> 00:19:45,668 Speaker 1: injuries have been the only thing that stopped him. But 444 00:19:45,788 --> 00:19:48,948 Speaker 1: look at the winning percentage. Look up many games, Jimmy 445 00:19:48,948 --> 00:19:51,388 Speaker 1: Garopolo has been a part of winning. And I understand 446 00:19:51,468 --> 00:19:54,268 Speaker 1: wins are not a quarterback stat. That's all fine. But 447 00:19:54,388 --> 00:19:57,388 Speaker 1: whatever they're asking him to do, he's done at a 448 00:19:57,468 --> 00:20:00,028 Speaker 1: high level when he's been on the field, and he's 449 00:20:00,068 --> 00:20:02,868 Speaker 1: got the history with Josh McDaniels, which Derek Carr didn't 450 00:20:03,148 --> 00:20:05,788 Speaker 1: knowing how Josh wants to play football. I think that 451 00:20:05,828 --> 00:20:08,348 Speaker 1: it's the perfect fit. And oh, by the way, we're 452 00:20:08,348 --> 00:20:11,148 Speaker 1: talking about Lamar and whether somebody should give him fifty 453 00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:13,468 Speaker 1: million dollars a year on a fully guaranteed contract and 454 00:20:13,508 --> 00:20:15,988 Speaker 1: give up two first round picks. Jimmy got half that. 455 00:20:16,108 --> 00:20:18,188 Speaker 1: Jimmy's not a deal that's worth about twenty five million 456 00:20:18,228 --> 00:20:20,348 Speaker 1: dollars per yor which allows you to go get Kobe Myers, 457 00:20:20,468 --> 00:20:22,788 Speaker 1: you go get Marcus Epps. Use those two first round 458 00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:25,308 Speaker 1: picks on something else. Again, I'm not saying don't go 459 00:20:25,348 --> 00:20:27,828 Speaker 1: after Lamar. Jimmy's the better quarterback, but we're talking about 460 00:20:27,868 --> 00:20:30,708 Speaker 1: overall team building and roster building. Getting a quarterback who 461 00:20:30,748 --> 00:20:32,668 Speaker 1: has done what he's asked to do at a really 462 00:20:32,748 --> 00:20:34,868 Speaker 1: high level for a long time. It makes a lot 463 00:20:34,868 --> 00:20:36,548 Speaker 1: of sense for a team that already has a bunch 464 00:20:36,548 --> 00:20:40,148 Speaker 1: of star power around the quarterback. Yeah, Jimmy got half. 465 00:20:40,148 --> 00:20:44,868 Speaker 1: He did half the quarterback really, but he's won. You've 466 00:20:44,908 --> 00:20:47,108 Speaker 1: been a part of winning. Yeah, it allows you to 467 00:20:47,148 --> 00:20:49,708 Speaker 1: team build, for sure. You've commit that much to one quarterback, 468 00:20:49,788 --> 00:20:52,188 Speaker 1: for sure, it's harder to put the pieces around. That's it. 469 00:20:52,388 --> 00:20:54,468 Speaker 1: I'm not comparing. I'm not saying that he's a better 470 00:20:54,508 --> 00:20:56,628 Speaker 1: player than the bar I'm just saying for what he 471 00:20:56,788 --> 00:20:59,228 Speaker 1: is and for what he costs you, he has won 472 00:20:59,308 --> 00:21:02,108 Speaker 1: a lot of games in the NFL. It's not the 473 00:21:02,228 --> 00:21:05,868 Speaker 1: Lamar comparison, it's the Homes compared. The question can they 474 00:21:06,068 --> 00:21:08,308 Speaker 1: challenge the ship? I'm not getting pulled into this this year. 475 00:21:08,348 --> 00:21:10,228 Speaker 1: You're time about maybe the greatest player of all time. 476 00:21:10,588 --> 00:21:12,828 Speaker 1: So should the rest of the AFC West just fulled up? Shot? 477 00:21:12,908 --> 00:21:15,348 Speaker 1: They should try? They should try. This is not an 478 00:21:15,348 --> 00:21:18,188 Speaker 1: anti Raiders thing. Everything you're saying is right. I love 479 00:21:18,228 --> 00:21:20,188 Speaker 1: the Raiders. I'm not getting pulled into this last year. 480 00:21:20,228 --> 00:21:22,388 Speaker 1: I slipped a disc last year trying to support the 481 00:21:22,388 --> 00:21:24,788 Speaker 1: Broncos and charge it was embarrassing. He won the MVP. 482 00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:26,908 Speaker 1: He ran right over and won the Super Bowl. Raiders 483 00:21:27,108 --> 00:21:29,068 Speaker 1: Chiefs guys, I'm sure the Raiders will be better this year. 484 00:21:29,108 --> 00:21:31,508 Speaker 1: I love McDaniels. Do you know that one loss was 485 00:21:31,548 --> 00:21:34,188 Speaker 1: against It was a fifty generations ago is where the 486 00:21:34,308 --> 00:21:36,788 Speaker 1: Raiders head coach who's been disavowed and they were beat 487 00:21:36,788 --> 00:21:39,028 Speaker 1: deep by a Raiders receiver who's in prison. Guy. Like 488 00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:41,628 Speaker 1: times have changed since that loss. Other than that, it's 489 00:21:41,628 --> 00:21:44,188 Speaker 1: absolutely perfect. I'm not getting pulled into this this year. 490 00:21:44,268 --> 00:21:47,108 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have a player of mass destruction. That's it. 491 00:21:48,348 --> 00:21:51,108 Speaker 1: That's kalisive with the Dragons, Like you're losing I'm sorry 492 00:21:51,428 --> 00:21:53,628 Speaker 1: you were born in this era. But the Chiefs drafted 493 00:21:53,668 --> 00:21:55,908 Speaker 1: a quarterback several years ago out of Texas Tech, and 494 00:21:55,908 --> 00:21:58,108 Speaker 1: he doesn't lose to the Raiders, doesn't lose the most players. 495 00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:01,508 Speaker 1: So God bless your Raiders. I love Jimmy, I love Josh, 496 00:22:01,588 --> 00:22:03,268 Speaker 1: love Max blah blah blah blah blah, and I hope 497 00:22:03,268 --> 00:22:05,588 Speaker 1: they have a lot of wins. No, can they catch 498 00:22:05,668 --> 00:22:10,268 Speaker 1: up with the Chiefs? No, no, no, sah. When you 499 00:22:10,308 --> 00:22:12,348 Speaker 1: talk about not getting sucked into things, I think it's 500 00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:14,988 Speaker 1: really important right to learn from the past mistakes that 501 00:22:14,988 --> 00:22:16,908 Speaker 1: you've made in the show. The first time I ever 502 00:22:16,948 --> 00:22:18,708 Speaker 1: did this show, it was last summer. It was Jason's 503 00:22:18,708 --> 00:22:21,388 Speaker 1: first show, and we were all hyped on the Denver 504 00:22:21,468 --> 00:22:25,348 Speaker 1: Broncos and I remember sitting in those studios out at 505 00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:27,788 Speaker 1: NFL Films and we put up we put up the 506 00:22:27,828 --> 00:22:29,628 Speaker 1: division behind us, and we were like, oh my god, 507 00:22:29,708 --> 00:22:31,788 Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be so difficult to pick 508 00:22:31,828 --> 00:22:34,828 Speaker 1: apart because now Russell Wilson, are they going to be 509 00:22:34,908 --> 00:22:37,508 Speaker 1: like right up there with the Chiefs, And what are 510 00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:39,508 Speaker 1: the Chargers going to do? And then look at the 511 00:22:39,588 --> 00:22:41,948 Speaker 1: Raiders that we're not discounting them. We put up the 512 00:22:42,028 --> 00:22:44,548 Speaker 1: entire division and all of us hemmed In had we 513 00:22:44,548 --> 00:22:47,148 Speaker 1: didn't know we're gonna do. I learned from my mistakes. 514 00:22:47,268 --> 00:22:50,388 Speaker 1: You cannot go up against Patrick Mahomes. There is no competition. 515 00:22:50,668 --> 00:22:52,348 Speaker 1: And then if you and if you want to And 516 00:22:52,388 --> 00:22:53,908 Speaker 1: by the way, I don't like going against Jimmy G. 517 00:22:54,108 --> 00:22:55,548 Speaker 1: I mean anybody, I don't. I don't want to go 518 00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:59,948 Speaker 1: like we love Jimmy G. But he has never beaten 519 00:22:59,948 --> 00:23:03,148 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And the margin of defeat there the average 520 00:23:03,188 --> 00:23:06,428 Speaker 1: losing margin seventeen and half points. That's not that's not closed. 521 00:23:06,948 --> 00:23:09,788 Speaker 1: And that is not necessarily an indictment on Jimmy G 522 00:23:10,108 --> 00:23:12,308 Speaker 1: or the Raiders. It is to your point, he's a 523 00:23:12,348 --> 00:23:14,588 Speaker 1: player of mass destruction. I mean, there's just no way 524 00:23:14,628 --> 00:23:17,108 Speaker 1: around it. So we can try to make it interesting. 525 00:23:17,268 --> 00:23:19,588 Speaker 1: You can and when you said try, I mean you 526 00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:23,508 Speaker 1: could still potentially get into the playoffs. Sure, it's just 527 00:23:23,548 --> 00:23:27,508 Speaker 1: the can the Raiders challenge the Chiefs specifically, it's quite 528 00:23:27,548 --> 00:23:30,668 Speaker 1: possibly the greatest player of all time. Patrick Mahomes right now, 529 00:23:30,708 --> 00:23:33,548 Speaker 1: five years in his accomplished more than any quarterback ever has. 530 00:23:33,548 --> 00:23:35,508 Speaker 1: At the stage, he might be the best player we've 531 00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:39,348 Speaker 1: ever seen. That's just an objectively true back. Yeah, so 532 00:23:39,348 --> 00:23:41,468 Speaker 1: what do you do? How do you challenge that? How 533 00:23:41,508 --> 00:23:43,588 Speaker 1: did everybody in Was it the AFC Central at the 534 00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:45,868 Speaker 1: height of Peyton Manning, wasn't the FC South yet? What 535 00:23:45,868 --> 00:23:47,988 Speaker 1: did they do? You tried to figure out ways do 536 00:23:47,988 --> 00:23:49,308 Speaker 1: you'd be able to slow them down. You tried to 537 00:23:49,308 --> 00:23:50,988 Speaker 1: counter what they did to They had a men's speed 538 00:23:51,028 --> 00:23:53,668 Speaker 1: on the field team, the receiver revision. They mugged the 539 00:23:53,708 --> 00:23:55,588 Speaker 1: receivers and work and then they change the rules. Yeah, 540 00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:57,548 Speaker 1: so that's what they did, and you can't do that anymore. 541 00:23:58,628 --> 00:24:00,628 Speaker 1: The Super Bowl is a microcosms too. These guys faced 542 00:24:00,668 --> 00:24:03,868 Speaker 1: off Jimmy versus Mahomes, and Jimmy was a little bit 543 00:24:03,908 --> 00:24:05,828 Speaker 1: limited and the Homes was unstoppable, Like that was the 544 00:24:05,868 --> 00:24:11,148 Speaker 1: perfect under threw one pass wouldn't. So maybe we're being 545 00:24:11,148 --> 00:24:13,108 Speaker 1: too hard on the Raiders. But Raiders fans aren't just 546 00:24:13,108 --> 00:24:15,668 Speaker 1: saying the same thing, like, I don't know, like it's tough, 547 00:24:15,748 --> 00:24:17,508 Speaker 1: it's tough with the thing. I don't think Raiders fans 548 00:24:17,508 --> 00:24:19,228 Speaker 1: are aiming for the Chiefs right now. It is just like, 549 00:24:19,348 --> 00:24:23,268 Speaker 1: let's get better. You know. Obviously the Broncos struggled mightily 550 00:24:23,348 --> 00:24:25,348 Speaker 1: last year. But if I'm a Raiders player, I mean 551 00:24:25,348 --> 00:24:27,188 Speaker 1: a Raiders fan. I'm looking at this team. Now we 552 00:24:27,228 --> 00:24:29,868 Speaker 1: have Jimmy. We have a quarterback that Josh McDaniel is 553 00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:32,228 Speaker 1: comfortable with. All right, now, let's take the next step. 554 00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:34,588 Speaker 1: Maybe we don't beat the Chiefs in our division this year, 555 00:24:34,668 --> 00:24:36,948 Speaker 1: let's finish a second. Let's make sure we beat the Chargers, 556 00:24:36,988 --> 00:24:38,748 Speaker 1: we beat the Broncos, and we take care of them 557 00:24:38,828 --> 00:24:41,028 Speaker 1: and take the next step as an organization. Jimmy an 558 00:24:41,068 --> 00:24:43,468 Speaker 1: upgrade from Derek Carr. I think in this system he's 559 00:24:43,508 --> 00:24:46,628 Speaker 1: an upgrade. I don't think overall he's a better quarterback 560 00:24:46,628 --> 00:24:49,668 Speaker 1: than Derek Carr, but I think understanding McDaniel's system and 561 00:24:49,748 --> 00:24:52,428 Speaker 1: his ways, his personality, I think that may give their 562 00:24:52,428 --> 00:24:54,388 Speaker 1: offensive upgrade With Jimmy g there. Yeah, that was one 563 00:24:54,388 --> 00:24:56,228 Speaker 1: of our hot topics last week. Are they any different? 564 00:24:56,308 --> 00:24:58,108 Speaker 1: I know, I feel like they're the same guy. You 565 00:24:58,188 --> 00:24:59,708 Speaker 1: like to do as many segments as possible with that 566 00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:01,708 Speaker 1: banner back there. Yeah, I love it. Just the aesthetics 567 00:25:01,748 --> 00:25:03,868 Speaker 1: of this step. Just just keep it. It's a great 568 00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:06,028 Speaker 1: I want to print out that banner back there if 569 00:25:06,068 --> 00:25:07,428 Speaker 1: we go to the area, where would you put it? 570 00:25:08,508 --> 00:25:10,548 Speaker 1: I just I'm picturing this picture like this is me 571 00:25:10,628 --> 00:25:12,588 Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day and Jimmy's like, I bought this for 572 00:25:12,668 --> 00:25:14,668 Speaker 1: you and it's like a little neck la Jay, I'm 573 00:25:14,668 --> 00:25:17,628 Speaker 1: gonna wear like that's It's just absolutely beautiful. I love 574 00:25:17,708 --> 00:25:19,428 Speaker 1: that picture. I love you guys. I'm just gonna staring 575 00:25:19,428 --> 00:25:20,468 Speaker 1: at the picture of the whole sec. I did not 576 00:25:20,468 --> 00:25:22,068 Speaker 1: think we were gonna say you were gonna be wearing 577 00:25:22,108 --> 00:25:26,868 Speaker 1: yet there a couple of minutes. That's it, okay. So 578 00:25:26,948 --> 00:25:30,868 Speaker 1: obviously Jimmy G was one of our favorite moves last week, 579 00:25:30,948 --> 00:25:33,028 Speaker 1: if only to put up the picture of Jimmy G 580 00:25:33,268 --> 00:25:36,348 Speaker 1: behind us. So good, bigger than life size Tom, You've 581 00:25:36,388 --> 00:25:38,708 Speaker 1: been on top of all the stories here in free agency, 582 00:25:38,908 --> 00:25:40,508 Speaker 1: Jimmy G being one of them. What can you tell 583 00:25:40,588 --> 00:25:42,148 Speaker 1: us now? We's talk about a deal that got done 584 00:25:42,228 --> 00:25:43,948 Speaker 1: late last night. I was about to get in bed 585 00:25:44,028 --> 00:25:46,348 Speaker 1: before the early wake up call for the show C J. 586 00:25:46,548 --> 00:25:50,028 Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson about it. The veterans safety formerly of the Eagles, 587 00:25:50,068 --> 00:25:53,428 Speaker 1: signing a one year, eight million dollars deal with the 588 00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:57,148 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. It includes six point five million dollars guaranteed. 589 00:25:57,228 --> 00:26:01,308 Speaker 1: This was negotiated confirmed by his agent, Kevin Connor. Obviously, 590 00:26:01,348 --> 00:26:03,508 Speaker 1: when you've got a young player like John's gardener Johnson, 591 00:26:03,508 --> 00:26:05,468 Speaker 1: you're thinking it's going to be a long term type 592 00:26:05,508 --> 00:26:08,068 Speaker 1: of a pack. But in this one year deal in Detroit, 593 00:26:08,148 --> 00:26:10,788 Speaker 1: he reunites with Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn. He was 594 00:26:10,828 --> 00:26:13,668 Speaker 1: with them in New Orleans, and he fits into that 595 00:26:14,068 --> 00:26:17,588 Speaker 1: doggie dog type of mentality that they've got into Detroit. 596 00:26:17,668 --> 00:26:20,468 Speaker 1: He fits an exact mold that they were looking for 597 00:26:20,628 --> 00:26:22,548 Speaker 1: in terms of the player he tied from league leading 598 00:26:22,548 --> 00:26:25,908 Speaker 1: the interceptions last season. It makes a lot of sense. 599 00:26:25,908 --> 00:26:28,668 Speaker 1: And by the way, he just turned twenty five next year, 600 00:26:28,708 --> 00:26:31,108 Speaker 1: he will just turn twenty six back out there. If 601 00:26:31,108 --> 00:26:33,148 Speaker 1: he puts up another huge year, he's gonna get that 602 00:26:33,228 --> 00:26:35,508 Speaker 1: long term, huge money deal. Tom. How many phones do 603 00:26:35,548 --> 00:26:37,188 Speaker 1: you have, because James Palmer was here last week had 604 00:26:37,188 --> 00:26:39,188 Speaker 1: two phone. I don't talk about I have no clue 605 00:26:39,908 --> 00:26:42,868 Speaker 1: the Palmer two phones. I believe it's just he who 606 00:26:42,908 --> 00:26:45,308 Speaker 1: doesn't want his business on the company phone. I don't know. 607 00:26:45,388 --> 00:26:47,468 Speaker 1: I can't say what he is or is not doing, 608 00:26:47,988 --> 00:26:50,428 Speaker 1: called us the three stooges last week. So I'm just saying, 609 00:26:50,628 --> 00:26:53,308 Speaker 1: we don't know. No one's saying he's got anything bad 610 00:26:53,348 --> 00:26:56,108 Speaker 1: on that phone. No one is sitting here saying, James 611 00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:59,268 Speaker 1: Palmer has some deep dark secrets on that second phone. 612 00:26:59,548 --> 00:27:02,028 Speaker 1: I can't tell you what's on that second phone. But no, 613 00:27:02,108 --> 00:27:03,668 Speaker 1: why why would you have more than one phone? I 614 00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:05,148 Speaker 1: got two hands? You know. Well, I was thinking, I 615 00:27:05,188 --> 00:27:07,428 Speaker 1: was thinking this when you were going through the list 616 00:27:07,428 --> 00:27:09,548 Speaker 1: of free agency news, and I'm thinking, I picture you 617 00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:12,348 Speaker 1: last week and I report basically in a bunker, right 618 00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:14,428 Speaker 1: and you're just your phone's going crazy. And then I 619 00:27:14,468 --> 00:27:15,988 Speaker 1: was wondering as you were talking, do you have your 620 00:27:16,028 --> 00:27:18,468 Speaker 1: buddies also texting you, like, hey, tell me, like there's 621 00:27:18,508 --> 00:27:19,788 Speaker 1: got to be text coming in that You're like, I 622 00:27:19,828 --> 00:27:21,068 Speaker 1: don't have time for this. I don't have time for this. 623 00:27:21,428 --> 00:27:23,148 Speaker 1: You haven't high school friends that are hitting you up 624 00:27:23,228 --> 00:27:25,548 Speaker 1: left and right like this is my questions about free agency. 625 00:27:25,548 --> 00:27:27,148 Speaker 1: And then there'll be, you know, text from my wife. 626 00:27:27,428 --> 00:27:30,108 Speaker 1: Sarah's wonderful and does so much, and I must say 627 00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:33,588 Speaker 1: that that she's a tremendous asset to the family, handles 628 00:27:33,588 --> 00:27:36,988 Speaker 1: everything during that week. But yeah, sometimes there will be 629 00:27:37,028 --> 00:27:39,628 Speaker 1: a text about like, hey, signing up for swim lessons. 630 00:27:39,668 --> 00:27:42,028 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, maybe not now, but I certainly will 631 00:27:42,068 --> 00:27:44,788 Speaker 1: look at this on midnight when I'm done.

Take a listen about what 650 00:28:55,948 --> 00:29:01,348 Speaker 1: Foreman had to say since joining Chicago. Okay, we coaches 651 00:29:01,348 --> 00:29:03,068 Speaker 1: didn't you know what the plan that they have. I 652 00:29:03,188 --> 00:29:05,548 Speaker 1: came here to try, you know, be the guy. If 653 00:29:05,588 --> 00:29:07,188 Speaker 1: I didn't come in here with that mentality, and I 654 00:29:07,188 --> 00:29:09,068 Speaker 1: would be doing myself with the disservice. I think I'll 655 00:29:09,108 --> 00:29:11,828 Speaker 1: be doing a team with disservice, all due respect, humble 656 00:29:11,868 --> 00:29:15,388 Speaker 1: confidence by trying to make it seem like anything other 657 00:29:15,428 --> 00:29:17,388 Speaker 1: than you know exactly just what it is. That's just 658 00:29:17,428 --> 00:29:20,428 Speaker 1: me being confident in myself and feeling like that I 659 00:29:20,428 --> 00:29:22,868 Speaker 1: could come in and be the guy and also be 660 00:29:22,908 --> 00:29:24,868 Speaker 1: a guy that people calling on it. I could help 661 00:29:24,948 --> 00:29:26,708 Speaker 1: us win. You know I didn't. I didn't come here too. 662 00:29:26,988 --> 00:29:30,148 Speaker 1: I guess you would say take a back seat to anybody. 663 00:29:31,228 --> 00:29:33,388 Speaker 1: I like it. Deontae believes that he can be the 664 00:29:33,508 --> 00:29:36,228 Speaker 1: man in Chicago. So we ask you, guys, which player 665 00:29:36,268 --> 00:29:39,428 Speaker 1: do you believe can be the man on their new team? Jason, 666 00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:41,828 Speaker 1: go with a guy we just talked about last segment 667 00:29:41,828 --> 00:29:44,588 Speaker 1: on a blockbuster trade coming from Vegas to the New 668 00:29:44,668 --> 00:29:46,868 Speaker 1: York Giants, and that's Darren Waller. I think he has 669 00:29:46,908 --> 00:29:49,508 Speaker 1: to be the man for this Giants football team. We 670 00:29:49,628 --> 00:29:51,588 Speaker 1: talked about it a year ago. For Daniel Jones, it 671 00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:53,948 Speaker 1: was just a he's not throwing the many targets out there, 672 00:29:53,988 --> 00:29:56,108 Speaker 1: and he's still finding a way to get it done. 673 00:29:56,188 --> 00:29:58,868 Speaker 1: Darren Waller comes over and he has the potential to 674 00:29:58,908 --> 00:30:01,308 Speaker 1: be his number one target at that tight end role 675 00:30:01,588 --> 00:30:04,188 Speaker 1: of being able to stretch the field, catch and run passes. 676 00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:06,028 Speaker 1: And I think for while you look at his career 677 00:30:06,028 --> 00:30:08,468 Speaker 1: in the last two years, he's dealt with a ton 678 00:30:08,508 --> 00:30:10,508 Speaker 1: of injuries, and if he can get back to where 679 00:30:10,508 --> 00:30:13,228 Speaker 1: he was before that back to back thousand yards seasons, 680 00:30:13,468 --> 00:30:16,628 Speaker 1: had thirty catches of twenty plus yards in twenty nineteen 681 00:30:16,828 --> 00:30:19,388 Speaker 1: and at twenty twenty, that's the guy that they need 682 00:30:19,468 --> 00:30:21,108 Speaker 1: him to be. I also think he's going to be 683 00:30:21,188 --> 00:30:24,188 Speaker 1: motivated coming over from the Raiders. Tom Pee talked about 684 00:30:24,188 --> 00:30:26,028 Speaker 1: it last seven. They were trying to trade him a 685 00:30:26,108 --> 00:30:28,788 Speaker 1: year ago and they finally got him out of the building. 686 00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:31,028 Speaker 1: This is a guy that when he's motivated, he's one 687 00:30:31,028 --> 00:30:33,588 Speaker 1: of the fastest and biggest tight ends in the game. 688 00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:35,388 Speaker 1: And if he can get back to where he was before, 689 00:30:35,548 --> 00:30:37,868 Speaker 1: watch out. I think he's a huge, huge weapon for 690 00:30:37,908 --> 00:30:40,148 Speaker 1: the New York Giants. I'm gonna go with Jesse Bates, 691 00:30:40,428 --> 00:30:43,028 Speaker 1: the former Bengal safety signed by the Foulers to a 692 00:30:43,028 --> 00:30:45,828 Speaker 1: four year, more than sixty four million dollar deal. This 693 00:30:45,908 --> 00:30:48,428 Speaker 1: was the plan for Arthur Smith and Terry Final. They 694 00:30:48,548 --> 00:30:50,708 Speaker 1: spent a couple of years clearing all that cap space, 695 00:30:50,748 --> 00:30:53,108 Speaker 1: getting things right in terms of their resources. They wanted 696 00:30:53,148 --> 00:30:56,028 Speaker 1: to pump those resources into the defense. When you pay 697 00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:59,148 Speaker 1: a safety that type of money, you are expecting him 698 00:30:59,308 --> 00:31:01,308 Speaker 1: to be the man, not just on the field. And 699 00:31:01,348 --> 00:31:03,628 Speaker 1: Shirley Bates is a really good player, but it's off 700 00:31:03,628 --> 00:31:06,668 Speaker 1: the field, the locker room, and it's the leadership. Ryan 701 00:31:06,788 --> 00:31:09,748 Speaker 1: Nielsen's the new defensive coordinator there. There's obviously going to 702 00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:12,188 Speaker 1: be a growth process that goes into that. They need 703 00:31:12,308 --> 00:31:14,908 Speaker 1: veteran players to get that thing up to speed quickly. 704 00:31:15,348 --> 00:31:18,788 Speaker 1: Bates is absolutely in position to be the man in Atlanta. 705 00:31:18,908 --> 00:31:20,828 Speaker 1: Bas is an awesome player. Yeah, I love him. I'm 706 00:31:20,828 --> 00:31:22,588 Speaker 1: gonna bring this home. I'm gonna go to Chicago. DJ 707 00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:25,348 Speaker 1: Moore Chicago Bears wide receiver one. That is kind of 708 00:31:25,348 --> 00:31:28,228 Speaker 1: a loaded title and an infamous title, just like quarterback one. 709 00:31:28,548 --> 00:31:30,668 Speaker 1: DJ Moore is always this guy who would look at 710 00:31:30,708 --> 00:31:34,028 Speaker 1: in Carolina, who's playing with this I don't know, carousel 711 00:31:34,068 --> 00:31:36,388 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks and some teams that aren't that good. You're like, Wow, 712 00:31:36,428 --> 00:31:38,348 Speaker 1: he's really good. He's that guy when you do the 713 00:31:38,348 --> 00:31:41,068 Speaker 1: fantasy draft, who like all the super big names are 714 00:31:41,068 --> 00:31:43,188 Speaker 1: gone and you're like, I went running back early. Now 715 00:31:43,188 --> 00:31:46,388 Speaker 1: I'll get DJ Moore. Now you're going to really high 716 00:31:46,388 --> 00:31:49,148 Speaker 1: profile man. You're not in sleepy little Carolina with such 717 00:31:49,148 --> 00:31:51,708 Speaker 1: and such a quarterback. You're in a massive market in 718 00:31:51,748 --> 00:31:54,548 Speaker 1: a pivotal year with your job is to come in 719 00:31:54,588 --> 00:31:57,028 Speaker 1: and make Justin fields great. It's a lot of pressure 720 00:31:57,068 --> 00:31:59,188 Speaker 1: on him. I don't think he's been in this situation before. 721 00:31:59,228 --> 00:32:01,188 Speaker 1: I love his game, I love him as a person, 722 00:32:01,588 --> 00:32:03,708 Speaker 1: but you were brought in to come and put fourteen 723 00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:06,468 Speaker 1: hundred yards on the field many. DJ Moore at this 724 00:32:06,468 --> 00:32:08,828 Speaker 1: point is twenty six years old and already has more 725 00:32:08,828 --> 00:32:11,508 Speaker 1: career receiving yards than the all time Chicago Bears leader. 726 00:32:11,588 --> 00:32:14,108 Speaker 1: I'm not joking. It's Johnny Morris. He has five thousand 727 00:32:14,188 --> 00:32:16,508 Speaker 1: yards receiving. DJ Moore's twenty six and he has more 728 00:32:16,548 --> 00:32:18,588 Speaker 1: than that. That's the Bears all time leader. Where the 729 00:32:18,628 --> 00:32:21,228 Speaker 1: Galt more than Peyton, more than Marty Booker, all Sean Jeffer, 730 00:32:21,308 --> 00:32:23,548 Speaker 1: you name it. You are representing something like the future, 731 00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:26,708 Speaker 1: the expectations, the yardage gotta deliver you cannot show up 732 00:32:26,708 --> 00:32:28,428 Speaker 1: this year. Maybe I put up eight hundred yards and 733 00:32:28,428 --> 00:32:30,308 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. No, no no, no, no no, they need wide 734 00:32:30,308 --> 00:32:32,908 Speaker 1: receiver one stuff in twenty twenty three. That's big numbers. 735 00:32:32,948 --> 00:32:36,028 Speaker 1: It's a lot. You mentioned carousel quarterbacks, Yeah, in Carolina, 736 00:32:36,068 --> 00:32:37,828 Speaker 1: And when you have a carousel quarterbacks and you don't 737 00:32:37,828 --> 00:32:39,148 Speaker 1: know who your quarterback is going to be, and the 738 00:32:39,188 --> 00:32:41,228 Speaker 1: Panthers still don't really know because they got that number 739 00:32:41,228 --> 00:32:43,068 Speaker 1: one overall picking this upcoming draft. So what are you 740 00:32:43,148 --> 00:32:44,828 Speaker 1: going to do when you have that instability? You're gonna 741 00:32:44,868 --> 00:32:46,748 Speaker 1: run the football? So how about Miles Sanders? How do 742 00:32:46,868 --> 00:32:48,228 Speaker 1: to be the man? And I know that right now 743 00:32:48,268 --> 00:32:50,508 Speaker 1: Carolina is not the sexy team to talk about outside 744 00:32:50,548 --> 00:32:52,348 Speaker 1: of the draft and that division is down right now. 745 00:32:52,388 --> 00:32:54,428 Speaker 1: But Miles Sanders coming off a year where he ran 746 00:32:54,468 --> 00:32:57,468 Speaker 1: for more than twelve hundred yards eleven touchdowns, and now 747 00:32:57,548 --> 00:33:00,828 Speaker 1: the Panthers ship out Christian McCaffrey Deontay Foreman, who just 748 00:33:00,948 --> 00:33:03,108 Speaker 1: left Carolina to go to Chicago. I mean, this guy 749 00:33:03,228 --> 00:33:04,948 Speaker 1: is going to get the workload, and he should get 750 00:33:04,948 --> 00:33:07,108 Speaker 1: the workload, and he's coming off a career certainly, as 751 00:33:07,148 --> 00:33:08,428 Speaker 1: this team is not going to be set up like 752 00:33:08,468 --> 00:33:10,508 Speaker 1: the Eagles was right. I mean, he's coming off a 753 00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:14,588 Speaker 1: hugely successful season in Philadelphia, but I believe Frank Reik's 754 00:33:14,588 --> 00:33:16,828 Speaker 1: gonna write that ship down there. They're going to figure 755 00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:19,508 Speaker 1: out who their quarterback is that real soon coming up here, 756 00:33:19,508 --> 00:33:22,068 Speaker 1: and whether that guy can start right away whether they 757 00:33:22,068 --> 00:33:24,868 Speaker 1: have to wait and Andy Dalton starting. Miles Sanders is 758 00:33:24,868 --> 00:33:26,268 Speaker 1: going to get the workload there. So when you talk 759 00:33:26,308 --> 00:33:30,788 Speaker 1: about a situation where there is a need that by default, 760 00:33:30,828 --> 00:33:33,308 Speaker 1: this guy has to be the man, like that's Carolina 761 00:33:33,388 --> 00:33:35,108 Speaker 1: to me and Miles Sanders. And this is what you 762 00:33:35,148 --> 00:33:37,228 Speaker 1: love about free agency because you sign these guys with 763 00:33:37,268 --> 00:33:39,628 Speaker 1: that expectation of all of them to be the man. 764 00:33:39,908 --> 00:33:42,708 Speaker 1: But you never know New City, new culture, how it's 765 00:33:42,748 --> 00:33:44,868 Speaker 1: going to happen. So I love, I love to see 766 00:33:44,908 --> 00:33:46,988 Speaker 1: these guys and how's all. And Bears fans are openly 767 00:33:47,068 --> 00:33:49,588 Speaker 1: rooting against the Carolina Panthers big time all season because 768 00:33:49,628 --> 00:33:51,588 Speaker 1: their draft pick will become your draft pick. You do 769 00:33:51,628 --> 00:33:53,588 Speaker 1: not want Miles Sanders to work out, but hopefully it 770 00:33:53,628 --> 00:33:57,508 Speaker 1: does come up. Still no official deal in place to 771 00:33:57,628 --> 00:34:01,028 Speaker 1: bring Aaron Rodgers to New York. What should the Jets 772 00:34:01,028 --> 00:34:09,828 Speaker 1: be willing to give up for him?
