Speaker 1: it's around the NFL Free Agency Frenzy edition. Dan hands

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: us here with Mark Sessler, Greg Rostal and the great

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf. They have stripped the need for us to

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: literally do the show. They just just about the free thing.

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I figured, we just talked for five minutes and then

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: we're out here a little bit of a life back there.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be tough to top. John new

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: Smith getting into the rundown right there at the top

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: of the show is the biggest upset of the season.

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Sizzle for seventh round. Pick into the top of the show,

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: he goes, don't have to talk about it now, former Titan,

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Now I get it. Welcome there, it is, welcome, Welcome,

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to a big week on the NFL calendar. The

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: the tampering period has begun started at one pm Eastern today.

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Was it was it a one? They caught the negotiating

35
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: period they're trying to get rid of legal tampering nomenclature. Yeah,

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: now you said it wrong too, one Eastern. Actually it

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: was after Pacific and we have been tracking it for

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: hours and hours, and obviously you heard that at the

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: end the the Aaron Rodgers of it all. Despite its

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: seeming like it's a thing that's gonna happen between the

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: Jets and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers moving forward as

42
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: we're taping right now. That's not official, but it feels

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: like it's gonna happen. I'm not even I don't even care.

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, Dan, why are you even saying that

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna jinx it? If it's not gonna happen, that's

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: fine too. Honestly, We're gonna pivot and figure something out

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: as Jets fans, because if if this turns out to

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: be Aaron Rodgers hasn't made a decision yet and he

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: sent both of these teams into free agency without knowing

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: the plan for Rogers. If he ends up chicking it

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: out and retiring or whatever, or forcing his way back

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: to the Packers, have fun. I'll deal with that. But

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: it's just amazing that we couldn't just get the news

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: and have a part of the show. But this is

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: part of the Rogers experience. It's he specializes in this

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: type of march drama. And I mean just to be real.

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: We were you know, we care about the news and itself,

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: and there's there's a Jets angle to it with you

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: Dan for our show. So it's like all weekend long.

60
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: It was like, if this thing happens wherever you are

61
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: in your weekend plans, if you're with children, or wherever

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: you were going to be dropping what you're doing to

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: talk about Aaron Rodgers and so I just like it

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of created this weekend long tension where it's like,

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: when does Mark pursue his own activities? When do I

66
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: pursue my own passions and you actually not do anything

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: you intended to do? Would absolutely say that that is

68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: that is the case. He gave some examples. Well, I

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: would just say, it's a Saturday afternoon, like what if

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: I want to go do things around the city that

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: would be you know, Mark esque or something that someone

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: my age would want to go do. It's like you

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: you have to sit around and wait to find out

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: if this guy is gonna join the Jets. He was

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: trying to stay as you know, clean and sober as Yeah,

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: and then you know, so Aaron Rodgers in a way

77
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: promoting healthy living, I guess, but I really appreciate it.

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, there are a couple of times when Graver

79
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: sort of stepped in and said, well, I need to

80
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: be at a like an Oscars party and four pm

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday, providing a clear cutoff and then you know

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: we don't have to do that was the only thing

83
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: that was made clear by anyone over the weekend. Graver

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: was like, I'm hosting an Oscars party, so FYI Sunday

85
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: from about three pm Pacific onward is not going to

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: work right, And we had no choice. We were hamstrung.

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh we would have made We would have made him

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: do it or found someone that could. I could have

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: dropped everything for that. How about Greg? Greg on Saturday

90
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: was just like I'm out Saturday. Sorry. I was our appreciated.

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: I had a hotel room going to Indian Wells to

92
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: watch the tennis, which was that every year I wasn't

93
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: staying okay to have a life. I had Keith Hansas

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: on retainer. If the Rogers thing happened over the weekend,

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: we would have knocked out some type of reaction show

96
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: and then hit it harder today. But going back to

97
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the main point, we're still waiting, so that maybe it

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: was going to happen. Once I saw all of the

99
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Jets players tweeting Garrett Wilson, I can finally enjoy my

100
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: vay k now he said, y'all should see the smile

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: right now that I have on my face. I think

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner tweeted something else like a tipping point and

103
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: then no speeding here, creating like it's happening. I've thought

104
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: all along, it's happening. Uh. That's why when Dan was

105
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: sending out these fake trades for Ryan Tannehill and this

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: morning was a little tough Matthew Stafford, which were suspiciously

107
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: favorable to the Jets in terms of the terms. It's like, oh,

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a John who Smith's corpse and

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: like a seventh round of pick for for your quarter.

110
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: I think a third for Ryan Tannehill is out of

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: bounds and maybe not, but story Davis back to Nashville,

112
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the Stafford one seemed a little outrageous. But when Trey

113
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Wingo sent the tweet out, and uh, we should move

114
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: on to everything that has happened, because we're gonna do

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: a full Rogers pot at some point, are we? Yes,

116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: we know anything. Everybody keeps on making a very good

117
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: point on Twitter. It's like, what is the most Aaron

118
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers way for this to end? Probably to just hear

119
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: draw this thing out until like August, here's a thing.

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I think those Jets players, Scott Pioli

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: will explode on the set somewhere. They were not happy

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: about this today. They were reacting night. I believe off

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: of Trey wingos report. And I don't know if they

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: know Trey Wingo's history with reporting Rogers news, but we do,

125
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: and I think he's proven he has he has the beat.

126
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: He has, he is the Rogers beat. He had the

127
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: news he was returning last year. He had the news

128
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: last week that he was going to be able to

129
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: talk to the Jets. So that's two massive stories that

130
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: this guy who never breaks anything, because that's not really breaks.

131
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust that it is happening. It's two hours

132
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: ago or was it two hours ago? Wingo had hearing

133
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers to the Jets is done. History about to repeat

134
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: itself between New York and Green Bay. Time is indeed

135
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: a flat circle. And yes, I him plugged in enough

136
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: on this that um Scott Pioli, who was They did

137
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 1: a great job all through the morning on NFL Network

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: with Andrew and Move the Sticks and Steve and Cynthia

139
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: and Scott and they had a whole segment based off

140
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: my hypothetical trade tweets, which was pretty surreal to be

141
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: watching that on the couch happening. And then I was

142
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: talking to Paoli in the newsroom and he was like,

143
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: he's like so many other people that are just like,

144
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm sick of talking about this guy. It's like a

145
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: hypothetical this or that, like make a decision to move on.

146
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: We get that. Yeah, I get that. I'm frustrated about

147
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: it as well as everyone can imagine. And and I

148
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: think everybody is now because everybody wants to kind of

149
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: move forward. So we'll see if it. Greg No, I

150
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: think this is this is happening. It's like they're figuring

151
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: this out. That'd be my guest. I have to say,

152
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: Scott Pioli a real gentleman. Um. I sneezed twice over

153
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the once and then an hour and a half later,

154
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: in both times from a you know, a couple of

155
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: cubicles away. Uh, God, bless you, he said to me twice,

156
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Like no one else from a couple cubes away. I

157
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: heard him ask Cynthia, what is that howling noise? Which

158
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: was Dan howling and making all sorts of different noises. Justly,

159
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: we had to we had to get them out of

160
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: the newsroom to get them in here. Routine that I

161
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: sometimes go through. It's not totally something I can control,

162
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: and I wish that can we get a little people

163
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: would have sampling of it. I don't even know. I

164
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: don't even know you're getting that, you're getting the energy

165
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: energy chords that where we were having I just felt

166
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: like an old school news day because you know, I

167
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: was telling our newsroom now. It's very nice. It's very

168
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: technologically sound, but it has a little bit of a

169
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: third rate death star feel to it where there's little

170
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: weird energy. It's a first rate death star. Well, I

171
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: mean it's very expensive rights blowing up other planets, and

172
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: this is like basically just like in terms of their

173
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: intentions against enemies, it feels just sort of like empty

174
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: sometimes and then you bring in a soundboard that's called

175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Dan Hanss the full slate of talent in there. Today

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: it felt like a real news day for what you like.

177
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: You finally got back at Scott Helie for drafting Todd

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Brady and all the pain that he brought you did he? Oh,

179
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: he was there. Good for him. I like Scott good dude.

180
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: Um Eisen, by the way, Rich Eisen, who's also a

181
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: well known Jets fan, pulled into the parking lot. I

182
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: think he was going to his car to get something,

183
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: and he sees me to pull in. I said, I

184
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: rolled down my window. He's like, well, I wonder, what's

185
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: this gonna happen? Rich, Maybe he's waiting for you to

186
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: get on air. And he goes, Man, you gotta relax,

187
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: no sap. He's like, Dan's gotta stop tweeting all this stuff.

188
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: He's spiraling out of control. Basically, it's a radar. It's hard.

189
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: It's hard, all right. So that's the Roger situation. But

190
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: let's dig into everything else that's going on in this

191
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: first day of the legal tampering window. The league year

192
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: begins officially on Wednesday. You're not gonna hear anything, or

193
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: you shouldn't hear anything about Lamar Jackson before Wednesday because

194
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: the other huge name, uh Lamar Jackson, of course, is

195
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: without an agent. So and this seems weird, but I

196
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: don't even care. I don't want to talk about this

197
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: stuff anymore. With the agent stuff, he can't negotiate with

198
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: other teams because he doesn't have a representative formally, So

199
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff is going to really pick up, I

200
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: guess on Wednesday hypothetically. So let's get into it now.

201
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Let's get into the things that we do know. Let's

202
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: not about a quarterback for instance, that we have a

203
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: clear idea. What's going to happen. Jimmy Garoppolo, He's going

204
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: to be a member of the Las Vegas Raiders. He

205
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: gets thirty four guarantee, thirty four million guaranteed on a

206
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: three year deal from Vegas to play for Josh McDaniels. Again,

207
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: none of the stuff can become official until Wednesday, but

208
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: this is going to happen. We having a good authority

209
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: Greg starting right here, you can clearly make an argument

210
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: that Derek Carr is as good or better than Jimmy G.

211
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: But Jimmy G is also a guy that's had a

212
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: good winning pedigree, and he's, let's face it, much cheaper. Yeah.

213
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: I think it's forty seven in the first two years

214
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: of this contract, and they owed car close to set

215
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: D and so two for forty seven is a little

216
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: less than Geno Smith money. It's threading that needle. Thirty

217
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: four guaranteed, and like all these I want to see

218
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: what that guaranteed really means. It might just be a

219
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: one year contract, kind of like Derek Carrs was a

220
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: year ago with the Raiders, where it's one for twenty four.

221
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: It's like right in between that. To me, they're very

222
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: much in the mix to draft a quarterback. They're reporting

223
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: out of Vegas is that they will draft a quarterback. Now.

224
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: If the right one doesn't fall to them at seven,

225
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: maybe they won't be as anxious to trade up for

226
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Maybe they'll be taking a guy in rounds

227
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: two or three. We've seen McDaniels do that over the

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: years too. But they have a guy in Jimmy G

229
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: who I always thought and it's really stupid because it's

230
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: based on like one start, practically the second start of

231
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, when Tom Brady was suspended and West and

232
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: I went nuts for this game he had against Miami.

233
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: That was like Jimmy G throwing a perfect game, and

234
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: he looked so good in that system that maybe he's

235
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: going to be better in the Josh McDaniels system. He

236
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: just probably won't stay healthy because he never stays healthy.

237
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there was you know, the Raiders and Aaron Rodgers.

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Thing went quiet pretty quickly, and I think that if

239
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: you want to, i'd want to know what exactly Josh

240
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: McDaniels and company thought where they thought they'd wind up

241
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: when they let Derek Carr fade away. I don't think

242
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: this is too far from what this is it? This

243
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: is it. I don't I think Tom Brady. Tom Brady

244
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: would have been an option. I think there was there

245
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: was whispering and reporting around that it being there's interest,

246
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: but this was one B. And I don't think it

247
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: stops you from drafting anyone, because I think the whole

248
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: reason you don't go chase Aaron Rodgers I think, I

249
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: do you want to develop someone and this gives you

250
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a stop gap to some degree.

251
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: But I think it's easy to hate on Jimmy g

252
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: where I thought he looked good with the Niners last year.

253
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: I do wonder though, because yes, he fits with Josh McDaniels,

254
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: But any quarterback under Kyle Shanahan, what do you what

255
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: version of that quarterback do you get when you go

256
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: to the next system. This is probably the next best

257
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: fit for Jimmy G. Yeah, Jimmy G. I mean, look,

258
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders they also lost their backup quarterback, Jared Stidham,

259
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: so they need to put more into this position and

260
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: almost every other position on the roster because they have

261
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: so many needs. But the familiarity I think really helps.

262
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: And if Jimmy G did not have the season that

263
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: he did with the Niners last year, if Trey Lance

264
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: did not go down and get hurt, we I don't

265
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: know would be having this conversation because Jimmy G got

266
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: the opportunity to show that he still can be valuable

267
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: to an organization. Now how much that has to do

268
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan and what he does to this offense

269
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: to manufacture points, that's a totally different story. Yeah, I

270
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: think it makes all the sense in the world, Greg,

271
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: what you were saying, like, to get a quarterback in

272
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: this draft, be aggressive, perhaps add a high level backup.

273
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I just think with Garoppolo, it's like, yeah, the best

274
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: case scenario is how he played in San Francisco, and

275
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Shanahan, it was incredible weapons and to

276
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: his credit, when he was on the field. Most of

277
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: the time he was good and sometimes even looked great.

278
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: So I don't think you're going to get that level

279
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: of production. And he can't stay on the field, he's

280
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna miss time because we've seen enough evidence over the

281
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: years that this guy is not a starting quarterback that

282
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: you can count in. When Tom Brady was suspended, he

283
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: didn't make it through those four games. They have to

284
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: bring in old Jake brisk and I just wonder if

285
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: and I understand the not to reletigate the Derek Carr

286
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: of it all. I understand at a certain point the

287
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: organization decided it was time to kind of transition and

288
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: go in a different direction. I just don't know if

289
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: this is going to work out the way they hope

290
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: it will, because I just don't think he's somebody you

291
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: could trust as your QB one. And also, look at

292
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: the defense that Jimmy G was playing with in San Francisco.

293
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: This is vastly different in Las Vegas. I mean, do

294
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: you think that Jimmy G is an upgrade over Derek Carr?

295
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: I actually do in this system, and I actually think

296
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: he could be an upgrade over Jimmy G. In San Francisco.

297
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Not pure numbers wise, but I think with McDaniels, what

298
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: he does well, he could play a little better. But again,

299
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: the ceiling on that is like thirteenth best quarterback in

300
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: the league, and you still might want to be I

301
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: worry less of injury prone, his ability to produce, and

302
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: more about his ability to play. I mean, I worry

303
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: more about where the waters are right now. Just in general,

304
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna you can. He could play at

305
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: the same level, but you're in your environment compared to

306
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco's is a minus. They need to be very

307
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: active and they will be. They haven't yet. They're not

308
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: jumping into free agency, but they have a ton of

309
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: money available, a ton of needs. And I think this

310
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: was a perfect kind of thread the needle. Keep it cheap, Hey,

311
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Grave Digger. I was just thinking the breaking news drop

312
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: has been in a bit of a slump on the show.

313
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be the ultimate slumpbuster for the Rogers news

314
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: or something else huge to come across the wire over

315
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: the next hour or so. That's something to be excited about.

316
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: That would be you guys should check our messaging client

317
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: frequently in case something happens. Thank you. That's what I'll

318
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: send it in. Well, Graver has provided something which we

319
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: can get to down his Titans asks. Yeah, but thank you.

320
00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Oh um, here we go here so we know the ah,

321
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: there you go. I thought you're gonna use the colleen

322
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: related drop in that realm. That would have worked too. Um.

323
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? That sounds kind

324
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: of like a porn There you go. So we know

325
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Raiders good may or may not be

326
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: in the business for a quarterback still in the draft,

327
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: but we know the Panthers are in business. I mean

328
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: we didn't know already, but now we know. NFL Networks

329
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: Ian Rapport had it and it is official. The Panthers

330
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: acquired the number one overall pick from the Bears on

331
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Friday Night, one of the great Friday News dumps of

332
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: all time, in exchange for DJ Moore. I don't think

333
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: that was the intense anything. They probably are annoyed they

334
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't get much pop from it. Um an exchange for

335
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver Dj Moore, a very good player, number nine

336
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: overall pick in this draft, the two thousand twenty three

337
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: second round pick, a two thousand, twenty four first round pick,

338
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: and to two thousand and twenty five second round pick.

339
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: So Mark, that gives Frank Reich the chant he's the

340
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: new head coach of the Panthers, the chance to hand

341
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: pick anyone from this college class. And I know, Mark,

342
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people were saying, oh, what a trade

343
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: by the Bears, and it was. It was a great

344
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: trade for the Bears. They get all those draft assets

345
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: we talked about, and you get a potential Pro Bowl

346
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: level wide receiver and more to play with justin fields.

347
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: But if you've been tracking our league the last few years,

348
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: you know the Panthers been dying. Every time they try

349
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback they want, people say no and

350
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out. They made this trade so they

351
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: could get who they want and nobody could tell them no. Yep.

352
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if you are like David Tepper,

353
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: you swung and missed on Matthew Stafford and watched him

354
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: go win a Super Bowl somewhere else. They were in

355
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: on to Shaun Watson and that didn't work out for them.

356
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: They have been on it. Well. I think you could

357
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: argue at this point, yes, but they but they put

358
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: themselves out there and they kept being like not they

359
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: were not able to seal the deal. So it does

360
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the trade to me look a little bit um desperate

361
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: and bears rich. Yes, but I think if you're again,

362
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: if you're David Tepper like you are, you have Frank Reich.

363
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: You cannot settle Frank Reich with like the third or

364
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: fourth best choice. And now it's like you can. You

365
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: can scout these quarterbacks all you want and have total

366
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: buying on who you pick. And so from that angle

367
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: in terms of being aggressive, and there's a lot of

368
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: a sense around the league and quotes for multiple reports

369
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: that it's c J. Stroud, but that they can change

370
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: their mind. If that's not the case, they can pick

371
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: their guy. It seems crazy they don't know who it

372
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: would be. Well, I think you'd have to, but I

373
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: think it's c J. Stroud is who they're point out to.

374
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm not conspiracy theorist. That's Mark's um corner on this spot,

375
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: is it. I'm not maybe not this conspiratorial. Just what

376
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is here here is one conspiracy. I

377
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: do buy that the NFL doesn't want the number one

378
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: overall pick out there. Oh of course, and uh, well

379
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: this info get out in the in these streets, right

380
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: because he'd be insane not to know who you want

381
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to take with the number one over I'll pick. Was

382
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: that a rock with a message tied around it with

383
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: rubber band thrown through Frank Reig window? Find out? Yeah?

384
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't blame the Panthers. I'm saying,

385
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: like the league, you know, like, hey, let's let's not

386
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: let this get out there. I'm cool a little mystery, Yeah,

387
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. I don't like And the purple

388
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: effects of this, too are so interesting. With the Texans

389
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: sitting at number two, they thought that they would have

390
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: their pick of any quarterback that they want, and now

391
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: they don't have to make that decision because the Colts

392
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: are going to take that with the first pick. The Panthers. Yeah, yeah,

393
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Also, that's what I think this is about,

394
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: because the Panthers are kind of putting it out there

395
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: too that like we could even trade down right, and

396
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: we're still evaluating. And I think that's where they're gonna

397
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: see what information they can get between now and then,

398
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: and there's like an outside chance they could feel confident

399
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: enough if they're not taking Bryce Young that that okay,

400
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: let's make the bear let's make the Texans trade up

401
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: for Bryce Young and we end up picking up an

402
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: extra pick, and we still get our guy at number

403
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: that being an option all the way up to the

404
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: final hour. I think it will be now. I kind

405
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: of think it will be. Um and Mark you said

406
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: that you know, could look or perhaps is a little

407
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: bit desperate by Carolina. I agree because they did give

408
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: up so much, including a star player and more. But

409
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: if the guy that they get turns out to be

410
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: a decade plus answer or whatever. Wait, I looked at

411
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: the other trade run that were similar Ish Wentz, you know,

412
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: near the top of the draft trade lands near the

413
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: top of the draft RG three. This is they're all

414
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: like the same. They all just they just copy each other.

415
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't anymore. If anything, I would say they paid

416
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe less like the forty nine ers paid essentially the

417
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: same just to get up to the number three pick.

418
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: I think for the Bears is the number one pick

419
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: all the way from nine in terms of the timing

420
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: for the Bears, because absolutely you needed more wide out power,

421
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: more star power around fields, and to have DJ Moore,

422
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, Darnell Mooney and Cole Commet. That is a

423
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: nice four pack of targets, and it came during a

424
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: free agency period that is not wide out rich in

425
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: a draft class that is not necessarily strong at wide out.

426
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: So it was for Ryan Poles. I think it was

427
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: a home run to have DJ Moore be part of

428
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the deal. That's a great haul for them to get.

429
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Dj Moore, he has more career receiving yards

430
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: than any player in Bears history. Like they're getting al Yeah,

431
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: that's more career receiving yards than any player in the

432
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Bears one hundred plus year history. He's played like five

433
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: years and he's not even one of the top fifty

434
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver. It's still still it's still crazy. I would

435
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: rather have Dj Moore at his salary and he's under

436
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: contract for three years fifty two million dollars than a

437
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: first round pick. And that's how they looked at it.

438
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: By the reporting afterwards, it was like they looked at

439
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: it like he is as good as a first round pick,

440
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: if not better. And so then you look at it,

441
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: you're basically just trading back eight picks. You still get

442
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: the number nine pick, you get a first, you get

443
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: two seconds, and you get DJ Moore. And I think

444
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: Claypool might end up being a little bit of a

445
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: bust for them, but if he's like their number four

446
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: sever year in a great trade and for more, this

447
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: is probably one of the best quarterbacks he's played with. Wow,

448
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, So we don't even know we're gonna see

449
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: and then you're seeing more about the Panthers quarterbacks. Sure

450
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: I would like to, like, you know, anybody wants to

451
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: join me, like declare war on the who won the

452
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: blank of the offseason? Like who won the press conference?

453
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: Who won the trade? It's like we need not weeks

454
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: or months, but years to know how it worked out

455
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: with the quarterback for Carolina. What's gonna happen with Justin Fields?

456
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: What's the DJ more Er look like? How do these

457
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: draft kicks picks pay out? For? Right now, both sides

458
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: I think are happy with the outcome, and right I'll

459
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: get it to be enough for now. I'll give it

460
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: a final grade right now, that's how I look. What

461
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: is it? What is it? I give an aid to

462
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: the bears and a B plus to the bad like that.

463
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: I just feel like this is a grade it right now?

464
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: Same people people I'm with Dan though, just that like

465
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: they're so quick to be like, oh the Bears, what

466
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: a haul they gain? It's like, yeah, that's that's the

467
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: same haul everyone gets. Well they're a nice yeah people us.

468
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: What do you think about the quarterback they got? I

469
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know who it is. I just think that they

470
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: got good Catherine receiver in a market where you don't

471
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: have a lot of options. I think yet, well, I

472
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: was gonna say, you don't have to take a chance,

473
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: right if you don't have to give out a grade

474
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: on a trade where we don't even know who's involved

475
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: with it fully and how these guys play. Well, we've

476
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: just done that. So I'm like Scott Pioli right now

477
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: on the days during the NFL now, just like amateurs.

478
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: If the Bear, if the Bears are wrong about Justin Fields, though,

479
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: then it's a bad trade and they'll look at it.

480
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: And I've heard this too that like, well, if we're

481
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: wrong about Justin Fields, and I don't think they will be,

482
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: then we have the resources to go have a backstop

483
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: before they fire everyone with all these picks, I would say,

484
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: a weird way to view it, Like the Panthers are

485
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: here because they didn't pick Justin Fields too. I mean

486
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: there's a whole alternate universe where it's someone like Chicago

487
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: having to trade up to do all this business, but

488
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: it's the Panthers having to do it because they didn't

489
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: pick the quarterback the chance. You know who leads this

490
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: alternate universe? Who created everything in the end, the Daniels,

491
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: Rodney Thomas, fourth and twenty at the Colts twenty in

492
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: Mills all alone in the backfield. Here's the snap. Davis

493
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: looking who scrambles out to the life, gotta get rid

494
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: of it, throws it to the ends on end, caught

495
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: it toward nakeds. My goodness, fourth and twenty, Hey, kids,

496
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: with the catch. Rodney Thomas misjudged it. I'll never forget

497
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: sitting next to Greg that day, and Greg was loving

498
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: that whole situation. Crazy. Yeah, but if you're a Texans fan, like,

499
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: there's no way you found any real joy in that

500
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: watching your team slipped to number two overall. Some of

501
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: those throws by Davis Mills and that came, including that

502
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: last one. I know it should have been picked, but

503
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: he was like rolling right and got it there. It

504
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: was a tough throw. He's an NFL court He got

505
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: it made after right through the hands of a defender. No,

506
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: I get it, but he was rolling right and the

507
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: pressure was coming. Just to even give it chance on

508
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: that play was a good job by him. Davis smells

509
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: want to start. Can we stay actually on the Bears,

510
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: even though I know there's we'll get to the j

511
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Just take a break. We're going to take a break.

512
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: Everybody relaxed. We're just getting warmed up here. Um, we'll

513
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: be right back after this. All right, we are back.

514
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: We're just digging into the first day if you're just

515
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: tuning in, which again, very strange if you were to

516
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: do that with a podcast. But we're going through the

517
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: first day of free agency. Unofficially, Greg, we're sticking with

518
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: the Bears before we move on. We Yeah, they spent

519
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: so much money on Monday, they announced their intent to

520
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: kind of be that team this offseason. They have the

521
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: most salary cap space and they have to spend some

522
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: of it. And they were the first team to agree

523
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: to a contract this morning on the West Coast. TJ. Edwards,

524
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean sixteen minutes. They somehow worked out like a

525
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: very complicated three year contract with t J. Edwards in

526
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: like sixteen minutes, and TJ. Edwards was the first player

527
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: off the board, and then later in the day they

528
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: gave a huge deal to Tremaine Edmonds, who I think

529
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: is getting what forty eight or something over the first

530
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: two years of his contract. It's a four year deal overall,

531
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: he got paid. And they also paid a former Titan,

532
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: Nate Davis at guard pretty good money. So the Bears

533
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: are that team this year. And it's just a little

534
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: weird because off ball linebacker not a premium position. You

535
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: didn't pay Roquan Smith. I saw someone kind of make

536
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: the point. Roquan Smith and Jack Sandborn your guy maybe

537
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: greater than Tremaine Edmonds and t J. Edwards. I think

538
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: you could agree or disagree with that, but it is

539
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: a curious couple of players I think to start your

540
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: free agency. But it's like the Chicago Bears have been

541
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: like prioritizing off ball linebacker since the Mesozoa clear. I

542
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: think this is the eighth incarnation of like them having

543
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: two of these guys and their defense, and it's like

544
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: a little bit of with the Matt Eberflus experience, like

545
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: he is, you hired him because of his defensive acumen,

546
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: but then money is allocated towards that where maybe in

547
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: a different situation somewhere else here too, and it ended

548
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: up being the worst defense in the league. Edmonds will

549
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: receive fifty million and guaranteed money on the deal. I mean,

550
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: how much did the Bears having Caspace here? It's like

551
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: we got after the Jaguars are spending willy nilly with

552
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: their excess cat money last year and send it up

553
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: well for them with their second year quarterback. But I

554
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: like spending on offense. I mean, that's part of it.

555
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: And I think tremade Edmonds specifically, you're buying high. He

556
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: was in a perfect situation in Buffalo for five years.

557
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: Great each of those acquisitions in real time. No, I'm

558
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: just kidding. Edwards is a B. It's fine B minus

559
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: when you really looked at the money. He was like

560
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: the first deal that already looks phony in terms of

561
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: what the agents told the reporters. It really is like

562
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: a one for eight type of deal. It's not even

563
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: twelve million guaranteed. Uh. And so that's that's fine. TJ.

564
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Edwards tremade Edmonds. I'm gonna give like a C minus

565
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: because you're investing in him out of high He's coming

566
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: off the best season end of his career by far.

567
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: He was the first round pick of the Sean McDermott era,

568
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: and he was up and down, like he had one

569
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: really good year and that was last year, and he's

570
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna go into a much tougher situations. He's twenty four

571
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: years old. R Yeah, he's six four, two fifty and

572
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: runs a four point five. So like I think that

573
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: if you're ebra Flus, you're thinking, like, I'm gonna get

574
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: as good a version of Men's the Bills? Did you hope?

575
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: You hope? But you're not surrounded by as much talent.

576
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: And it's just like they lost out on Mike McGlinchey

577
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and what we'll get to that later earlier, like a pivot,

578
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend on someone a lot of money regardless

579
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: we didn't get one. That's spending too much money at

580
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: those positions specifically, I think League would say, yes, yes,

581
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: those are that's like one of the cheapest positions. Like

582
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: for instance, the Eagles had Kaizer White last year playing

583
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: their whole season for a you know, two point five

584
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: million on one year. But especially though after you said

585
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: we don't want real U, We're not doing this with

586
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: real quand Smith, so we gone and spend almost as

587
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: much over with this with the position. I'll just let

588
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: you guys keep going on the Bears hate. I'm enjoying this.

589
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a hate. How far can we

590
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: take it? Keep going trebad Edmonds was like a top

591
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: minus top fifteen free in this crap. He just got

592
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: that huge bump that happens every couple, every part. I

593
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: don't mind just going for it from another angle. I

594
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: do agree that building up the offense with pieces of sexier,

595
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: but their defense heads think I think it's smarter. I

596
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: mean in terms of like it's safer and it's it

597
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: goes up and down less. I think Edmonds and Edwards

598
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: are kind of good examples, like if they were free

599
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: agents a year ago at this time, would if they've

600
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: gotten paid much at all, they were also Edmonds agent.

601
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: Please and make sure it gets to the player. Well,

602
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: he did a good job. Oh yeah, he'll get it

603
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: to the player and then we'll have him on the

604
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: show in the middle of June in the studio. Sounds good.

605
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: The another big move that happened while we are away,

606
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: The Dolphins make another big blockbuster move. Jalen Ramsey is

607
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: coming to Miami for a twenty twenty third third round

608
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: pick and tight end Hunter Long. I'm pretty sure not

609
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: to Barry harrowitz this, but I'm pretty sure I said

610
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Ramsey makes I could see him as a Miami Dolphin.

611
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: That felt like something that made sense. And it does

612
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: specially make sense when you know where the Dolphins see

613
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: themselves right now as a team that's all in. So

614
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: after they went and got Bradley Chubb in a mega

615
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: trade a few months back, now they add Ramsey to

616
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: the backfield, Colleen and you factor, and they pick up

617
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: the fifth year option for Tua. They go and get

618
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: Mike White in free agency to be the kind of

619
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: backup safety net. The Dolphins are looking to get to

620
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: the super Bowl with this roster right now. Yeah, they're

621
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: They're making moves and they should. At this point, I'm

622
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: already wondering if they're going to go after a running

623
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: back like Miles Sanders considering the way that the run

624
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: game ended last year and Daniel former run game coordinator

625
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: with San Francisco, like, I think that they're really putting

626
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: all of these pieces together. But for Jalen Ramsey, I

627
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: just felt like he was going to be back in Florida,

628
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: in my head, I kind of liked the idea of

629
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: him going back to Jacksonville with a totally different scenario,

630
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: but right, but going to Miami, I like it even

631
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: more because of the past heat between himself and Tyreek Hill.

632
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: If you guys remember back in twenty eighteen when he

633
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: was saying that Jalen Ramsey was saying that Tyreek Hill

634
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: was more of a punt return specialist, a return specialist

635
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: than a wide receiver. So those two, that'll be fun

636
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: to see them play together. But the Miami secondary was

637
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: the biggest area of weakness. It was something they needed

638
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: to address. And so now that Byron Jones won't be returning,

639
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: it looks like when you have Jalen Ramsey across from

640
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard, you have two pieces that you can really

641
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: build with. I mean, we've seen we've seen the Dolphins

642
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: in asked free agency incarnations go nuts and like it

643
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: always had this feel of like it's not going to

644
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: go right, and it often just didn't. This feels different

645
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: to me because of the coach, because of how quickly

646
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: the offense responded to his coaching. The play the parts fit,

647
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: and I think you got a different type of aura

648
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: here in Miami. I like this, Um, if I'm the

649
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: Rams from a flip side and you still hanging to Matthews,

650
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: what are you telling Matthew Stafford in general about how

651
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: this season and maybe next season? I just I don't

652
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced Matthew Staffords even on this team. Who

653
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: is on this team at this point? They cut Bobby Wagner, right,

654
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: they cut um Leonard Floyd, Leonard Floyd. Now I'm wondering

655
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with Aaron Donald because he almost

656
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: didn't return last year after they won the Super Bowl,

657
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: and now all of when you have Jalen Ramsey out

658
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: of there too. I mean, this team, the three guys

659
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: they're building around cup Donald. No, you can say that,

660
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: but you're you're you're removing a lot of the team

661
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: that made this a special team a couple of seas

662
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: and ago last year was a disaster. But like this

663
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: feels like a projecting a couple feels like this season

664
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: they're taking a step back to set up for next season.

665
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: You can't take too far a step back. I mean

666
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: the step back would be, let's try to have a

667
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: winning record and compete uh in the next year. We

668
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: go try to win a Super Bowl. Was anyone else

669
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: stunned how little Dalen Ramsey got around the league? I mean,

670
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on what's going to have left

671
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: in the tank and internally what people are talking about,

672
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: what whether they think he'll age well. Like I think

673
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: he fits in the Fangio system perfectly. Brandon Stanley learned

674
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: under Fangio. He used him dynamically, like even if he

675
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: plays a little more safety or you know, near the

676
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage in the slot, like, that's still worth

677
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: a lot. He didn't like that's the case for the

678
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: GM APP that's that's for damn sure. But I'm sure

679
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: they asked around. No one wanted him. Yeah, surprising. I

680
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: thought they could have gotten more than than they did,

681
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: but they they're importing. Yeah, I don't think they could

682
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: have because I mean, maybe maybe you had set it

683
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: up if they traded him last year. Certainly, Yeah, Jordan

684
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: Rdrieg mentioned at The Athletic that there were five teams

685
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: in the mix that they were trying to trade him

686
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: out of the NFC. I do get Sean McVay is

687
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: a little Mike Shanahany vibes that like Sean McVay is

688
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: the one running this team. You know, Less Sneed is

689
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: involved and executes the vision. But I think Sean McVay

690
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: is making the vision. I mean we heard reporting that,

691
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: like when they couldn't get Bond Miller, Sean mcvay's on

692
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: the phone to other guys on the team being like,

693
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: what do you think of Alan Robinson? All right, let's

694
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: go get Alan Robints. Like, I think it's McVeigh And

695
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: I was just surprised they couldn't get more for Ramsey,

696
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: Like Ramsey didn't get that much more money. The whole

697
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: idea was like, well, Ramsey wants more money, he wants

698
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: more guaranteed money. We're not going to give it to him.

699
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: He didn't really get it from Miami. He got twenty

700
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: twenty four guaranteed, so that that's a big deal. Think

701
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: that's so two years guaranteed instead of one. But you

702
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: obviously have this year guaranteed because sure you don't trade

703
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: for him, by the way, so you got your year guaranteed.

704
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: But he didn't get like a raise, He just kind

705
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: of got what was in there. I think it's thirty

706
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: seven over two years, pretty reasonable for a top shelf cornerback. No,

707
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: I want to know who those other teams were. And

708
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if every team in the league signs

709
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: up for the Jail and Ramsey experience, it's gotta be

710
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: you gotta set the table well for to Adam to

711
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: that like narrative though, just kind of got blown out

712
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: of proportion when he was in Jacksonville, and I don't

713
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: know that how much of it is. These trade terms

714
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: make me think it's a little true. I was surprised

715
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: that a team wouldn't give him more money and that

716
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: a team wouldn't give up more draft picks. It just

717
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: didn't happen for him. Like I think Jalen Ramsey's thrilled

718
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: to be back in Miami, but I think going into

719
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: this the Rams have to be really disappointed with what

720
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: they got for him, and I suspect Ramsey and his

721
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: agent are disappointed with the money that they got. And

722
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: as far as the Rams go, where they stand now,

723
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: I just would like to see, and I know they

724
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: did the whole, the whole showcase press conference saying these

725
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: three guys are our pillars and all that show case.

726
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: When the chips are down and one of these teams,

727
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: hopefully not mine, doesn't have the quarterback that they thought

728
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: they were going to get in this game of musical chairs,

729
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Let's see how much of a pillar Matthew Stafford is

730
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: if the phone call, if the phone rings totally with you,

731
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: and for a team like the Rams that is still

732
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: trying to build up, because I hear and I think

733
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: there is value, sneaky value to be like, yeah, we're

734
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: not viewed as a superpower, but you know, we could

735
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: win nine or ten games and that will put people

736
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: on the seats and we might get a playoff game

737
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: out of it, like and we'll still have star power.

738
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: I think from from like Stan Cronky's view, like making

739
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: that kind of a goal for next year, it makes sense.

740
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: But what also makes sense is if you have an

741
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to truly do a rebuild where you get a

742
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: bunch of premium picks, maybe that's kind of like the

743
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: smarter long term play if you want to win super

744
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: But these rebuilds, typically, if it's now the new fashional

745
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: rebuild is like a year for the well run teams, right,

746
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: but you come out of it quick. You come out

747
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: of it typically with a young quarterback to build around. Yeah,

748
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see or it can envision

749
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford being the guy on the other side of

750
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: this rebuild two years, three years from now. He was

751
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 1: brought here for something else that he accomplished. I don't

752
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: see the vision ahead from Matthew Stafford. I think if

753
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: you said about we just oh, we just learned, we

754
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: didn't trade Jalen Ramsey at the height of his powers,

755
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: and you're after giving so much for him, you gave

756
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: up so much for Matthew Stafford and sent him away

757
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: for a year from now for a third round pick

758
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: or something like. I feel like the Jets losing Rogers

759
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: would have been the only team desperate enough to give

760
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: up a haul that would be worth it, especially considering

761
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: the contracts that Donald and cup and Stafford signed a

762
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: year ago kind of locked them in and locked the

763
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: team into having to pay them for a few years

764
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: ago because they got paid after the Super Bowl. And

765
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: that's why they are quote weight bearing walls, so what

766
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: they were, they're weight very walls. It's kind of like,

767
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: what do you want to be called? Similar to pillars,

768
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: but not the same thing different. Well, like they said,

769
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: a table with three legs problematic? Typically all right, Colleen,

770
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: this is it's really good. That's a good sound draft,

771
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: though could be very sturdy in the right a triangle

772
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: type table. But absolutely sure. I mean I own one

773
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: of those feels. In fact, that's in that case he's

774
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: stark about a square table. I'm talking about square table.

775
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: Spot tough spot it is. How about this AFC ST

776
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: though they're loading up there. Let's let's hold on that

777
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: combo until we get the news on the other thing. Uh, Connie,

778
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: I I do want to check in with you. Let's

779
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: talk about Jason Hargrave, Javon Hargrave. Let's talk about Jason, Yeah,

780
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: you talk about him. Um, it's going to the forty

781
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: nine ers arrival. I don't like it. Thirty years old.

782
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: What a study was on the inside of that incredible

783
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: record setting defensive line for the Eagles eleven sacks? Eleven

784
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: sacks from the interior? Are you kidding me? And now

785
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: it was beautiful. He will be pushing that pocket for

786
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine Ers, getting forty mill to

787
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: do so. For some reason, it feels extra personal that

788
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: he's going to the Niners because they faced them in

789
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship. Top dogs on the conference. I don't

790
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: want to be like, you're a trader. It's gonna be

791
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: great for him. Dallas, San Francisco back in the day

792
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: vibe a little bit a little bit. It's the thing is,

793
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles just have so many good free agents available,

794
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: especially on the defense, but he was undoubtedly the best.

795
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: So you lose him. And the fact was this Eagles defense,

796
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: especially the defensive line, was so I had so much depth,

797
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: so they were able to just like rotate and they

798
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: were able to stay fresh. And that was such a

799
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: big part of their success was this pass rush that

800
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: they were able to generate a pass rush from the

801
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: interior with him, and they're just they're going to miss him.

802
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: They're going to miss him a lot, and I don't

803
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: know how you replace his production, but they're gonna have to.

804
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: I think it was sept Under the Raider that the

805
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers last year were like Bosa Defensive Player

806
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: of the Year, arm Eric Armstead great when he's out there,

807
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: but missed a lot of last year and the rest

808
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: of the group was like, Okay, you know, it wasn't

809
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: as deep as good a group as they have had

810
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: in the past. They cycle through these one year guys

811
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: like Epacom played well for them, but he's a free

812
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: agent again. And it made me think because I looked

813
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: at the list of the top five highest paid defensive tackles,

814
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: it made me think they should have just never made

815
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: that DeForrest Buckner trade everyone loved at the time. They

816
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: drafted Javon Kinla to replace him. He hasn't really worked out.

817
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: And on that list it's Hargrave, Armstead, Aaron Donald, dron Payne,

818
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: and Buckner. And so you know two of those guys

819
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: that are now play for the forty nine ers. You

820
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: see what they value one of them used to in Buckner,

821
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: who's in Indiana. I love it for Steve Wilkes because

822
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: you're going through a lot of like you're losing coaches

823
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: in San Francisco on both sides the ball year after year. Wilkes,

824
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: though we know can do it, and like he's sitting there,

825
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: is the big winner. If you're Shaun to say in

826
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia their new defensive coordinator, like it needs to be

827
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: understood inside the building that there's a real uphill climb

828
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: for him to come in and repeat the dynamic like

829
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: quarterback nightmare situation they created a year ago with their

830
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: front not all bad news for the Eagles. They get

831
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey returns. Yep, that's nice. I definitely thought he was

832
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: going to retire just because the podcast is doing so well.

833
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: But maybe it does even better if you're playing, because

834
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: Travis is still playing. Sirianni said he's just been plying

835
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey with like kegs of beer and will continue

836
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: to do so as long as he stays. Like McAfee

837
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: retired and he that thing was a rocketship his podcast,

838
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: And it just felt like this Kelsey Brothers pod is

839
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: doing so well that it's like it's a good time

840
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: to go away. I like the video of Howie Roseman

841
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: and Jason Kelsey and like Kelsey tells him that he's

842
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: not retiring, He's going to return, and Howie has like

843
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: some moscato out and these poor and shots and I mean,

844
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: I mean, and by the way, how about this Kelsey.

845
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: Here's the tweet. I'm going to read the whole one.

846
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: I put much thought into whether it makes sense to

847
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: play another season. After talking it over with my wife,

848
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: wife and many other friends and family, I've decided to

849
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: return for another year. Thank you to all my supporters

850
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: and attractors for fueling me. I ain't done yet. And

851
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: guess what, and guess what, Aaron Rodgers, it could be

852
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: that easy, Right, here's the model. It doesn't make. It

853
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: doesn't make Jason Kelsey less swaggy or less mysterious or mystical.

854
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: It makes it just makes life easier for everyone. And

855
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: it's just like, bro, it's football like it's You're not

856
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: that important, You're not that special. It's very unattractive. I

857
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: like someone who is decisive, and to me, the Aaron

858
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: Rodgers situation, even the fact that it's taken him this

859
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: long to make a decision tells me that is his

860
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: decision that he should retire, but he doesn't. It's someone

861
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: who like, make a decision, rip off the band aid.

862
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: Let's go be confident in it, and if it doesn't

863
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: work out, it doesn't work out. But like, let's stop

864
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: dragging our talking about it. Yeah he tormented my weekend,

865
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: and yeah, make a decision last week and you know,

866
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: get us out of this. Miss. I'm with you. I

867
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: learned a life lesson Okay, struggling to make a decision.

868
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't It didn't have as much interest

869
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: at the time of Aaron Rodgers, but when I was

870
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: coming to the NFL trying to decide if I was

871
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: going to leave Pro Football Talk. I'd worked at NBC

872
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: for like eight or nine years, and I loved it there.

873
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: The only thing I regretted in the whole process was

874
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: at the very end, Ultimately, I just I couldn't make

875
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: a decision. And I generally in life, I feel like

876
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty decisive. And I knew afterwards right away almost

877
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: that that was my regret and I would never do

878
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: that again. But in that situation for the first time,

879
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: I sort of made like a mistake. What was your

880
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: big hesitation? Well, just like I was very comfortable and

881
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: liked a lot of things there, and the money was

882
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: basically the same, and do you take this chance on

883
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: doing this? It was just it was just going back

884
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: and forth, going back and forth. Couldn't decide what I mean,

885
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: I met you at the combine before and it was

886
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: sort of a recruitment dinner. Did I did I help?

887
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: Do you feel maybe? Uh, the final brick in the

888
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: wall that just said the NFL dot com feels like, well,

889
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: it really was. The couple of weeks I would go

890
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: back and forth, but then I thought, yeah, that's justin Halfaway.

891
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: He's a closer. I like this guy. Do love half Away. Uh.

892
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: Eagles got Brandon Graham back too. Uh. Let's move on

893
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: to the Broncos, who are making moves. Uh. Let me

894
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: go through it, let me tell you all about it.

895
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: So they got Mike McGlinchey, nice big contract, big right

896
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: tackle UM fifty million guaranteed, five years, eighty seven and

897
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 1: a half million fifty guaranteed, So they make a big

898
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: offensive line move. They also add left guard Ben Powers,

899
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: formerly of the Ravens, four years, fifty two million. Uh.

900
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: They also, as we mentioned, signed Jard Stidham to be

901
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson's backup, and that's interesting to me and makes

902
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: ends to me. Stidham as a guy who's flashed a

903
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: little bit. He was originally with the Patriots and then

904
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: went to the Raiders and played a little bit at

905
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: the end of the last season, and kind of a guy.

906
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: I think that works mark for the Broncos and Sean

907
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: Payton here because you can first of all, building up

908
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line very smart, because I do think they

909
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: are invested. I think they are serious about giving Russell

910
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: Wilson a chance here to write the ship and it's

911
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: not fair necessarily to Wilson everybody else if you don't

912
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: have a blocking front that works. So you do that,

913
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: and now you have a backup that you could put

914
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: in where you're not spending a ton of money on

915
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: your backup. You're not hedging your bets necessarily. And I

916
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: would think they could very easily start over next year

917
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: if either of these guys cannot play the guitar. Yeah,

918
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: I kind of view everything that Denver is doing as

919
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: not Russell Wilson centric, just because I think Sean Payton

920
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: is secure enough to know that if that doesn't work out,

921
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: you're just going to build a team around him and

922
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: get that other quarterback. And I mean they needed to

923
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: fortify the offensive line McGlinchey. There's a lot of zone

924
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: blocking elements to Sean Payton's offense. I think they want

925
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: to want to have more of a power run element.

926
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: I think back to the days of mark Ingram when

927
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: he really started to shine under Sean Payton in New

928
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: Orleans and Alvin Kamar after that. But like, you just

929
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: want to be able to have that as a huge

930
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: part of an offense that might not have a quarterback

931
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: that can play right now and I liked how it

932
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: was put out there a little bit, like with each

933
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: of these pieces, you're removing excuses away from Russell Wilson

934
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: if he does not turn into the player he once was.

935
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: It's like you have to build an argument to move

936
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: on from him if that's the case a year from now.

937
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: Sun Payton's always coached good offensive lines, like knowing how

938
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: to coach them up and hire the right offensive line coaches,

939
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 1: but generally like spending this much money on slightly above

940
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: average starting offensive lineman or like the worst thing you

941
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 1: can do in free agency. He was also the top

942
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: right tackle though on the market right now. They needed

943
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: it absolutely, but like the forty nine ers didn't show

944
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of interest in keeping him. Ben Powers kind

945
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: of had a career year for the Ravens a guard.

946
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: I think you'll make like twenty five twenty six million

947
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: in his first two years. Like they're spending a lot

948
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: of money trying to get to average in the end right.

949
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: But you're a specific issue if you're Denver, because you've

950
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: given away a bunch of draft picks you're not gonna

951
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: get necessarily and all pro tackle in freed andcy because

952
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: they don't typically exist and then you don't have the

953
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: way to go get them through the draft. So you're

954
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: you kind of were backed up into a corner here.

955
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: And McGlinchey, he's up and down, but it's like I

956
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: think he fits, yeah, and they they like aren't going

957
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: to be afraid of spending. I still get like Sean

958
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: Payton a little bit like Bill Parcels in Miami vibes

959
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: just I think there's like a chance, you know what

960
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it's kind of at the end, let's

961
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: just like go a little crazy and maybe it's not

962
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,959
Speaker 1: going to be as good as it was in New Orleans,

963
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: but we'll see in other news, Hey, the Chargers, let's

964
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: go on with the Chargers. Feel good about the Chargers.

965
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: The vibe around the Chargers, they share your suspicions. Brandon Staley,

966
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: uh still there as the head coach or replace both coordinators.

967
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: They blew a twenty seven nothing lead in the playoffs,

968
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: and now Austin Eckler is requesting permission to seek a

969
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: trade after he was met with a cold shoulder um

970
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: after contract extension talks with the Chargers. With the Chargers,

971
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 1: so it's like, and we had him on the show

972
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. To his credit, he didn't hint

973
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: at any type of discord or concerns, but well maybe

974
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: to his credit, had he we would have broken news

975
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: on the show. So it's all kind of powerful to

976
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: maybe not be turning over a couple of stones there

977
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: when he had back to back twenty touchdown seasons and

978
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: he's probably paid in the back half of starters body

979
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: questions in a row. It's like, what is the purpose

980
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: of let's use this as a teaching moment for the

981
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: for the podcast. But anyway, uh yeah, so he's he's

982
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: requesting permission for a trade, so we'll see if that happens.

983
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: And I thought it was also instructive Greg on this.

984
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, like I said, moved the sticks was on

985
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: NFL Network all morning and he kind of said in

986
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: a way like and you know, the Chargers are not

987
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: going to top the market or not going to meet

988
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: his demands for his position. He calls the games of

989
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: course as the analyst. So it's kind of like if

990
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: the if the Chargers are serious about not paying him

991
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: and he's requesting a trade, this feels like something that

992
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: could happen and perhaps soon. Yeah, he wanted a raise.

993
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: I think he had one year left on his deal

994
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: making six million, Like, get it now while you can,

995
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: you're still healthier numbers are I get it, But I

996
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: also get the Chargers being like, actually, we're getting the

997
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 1: best Austin Ekeler right now. We don't want to pay

998
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: for the next Austin Ekeler. We like this contract, and

999
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: if you can go, you know, get a deal, we'll

1000
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: let you go. We like you enough, we think we

1001
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: have other priorities. Good draft for running backs too. Yeah,

1002
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: this is Austin Ekeler just try trying to ensure his future.

1003
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if he gets hurt the season in his

1004
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: the final year of this four year contract that he's on,

1005
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: then he's kind of screwed. So he needs to If

1006
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers are not willing to give him a long

1007
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,959
Speaker 1: term deal, which they aren't, which is prudent on their part,

1008
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: he should be able to explore other options if they're

1009
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: out there. He really stinks getting was he undrafted? Like

1010
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: you really get banged over and over just by being undrafted.

1011
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: Like his career has been better than Saquon Barkley's. Not

1012
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: like he would have gotten Saquon Barkley's contract necessarily, but

1013
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: because he was undrafted. He had to take a deal

1014
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: that was really good for him at the time three

1015
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: years into his like his you know, undrafted rookie deal,

1016
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: but now looks very below the market and you're always

1017
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: like trying to catch up to the money that you

1018
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't make in the first place, and so you don't

1019
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: you don't blame him, But I think he'll be elsewhere.

1020
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: There's a I think they were gonna have a lot

1021
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: of trades. Laramie Tunsel's another player that requested permission to

1022
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: seek a trade. The left tackle of the Texans one

1023
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: of the very best in the league, and the Texans,

1024
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: despite speculation last year, held on to him. He delivered

1025
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: another high quality season mark and if he goes on

1026
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: the market, he could fetch quite a pretty penny given

1027
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,959
Speaker 1: the premium position. It's kind of the opposite of running backs.

1028
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: A left tackle right immense value, both in a trade

1029
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: value and in salary. He's been linked, you know, here

1030
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: and there to the Chiefs who have moved on from

1031
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown. But they went and got John Taylor, who

1032
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: has been a right tackle career wise with Jacksonville, but

1033
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: they're going to move him over to left tackles according

1034
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: to James Palmer or a friend. So that's a lot

1035
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: of money if you then go try to sort all

1036
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: this out. But I think they lost Andrew Wiley the

1037
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs the right tackle, so they still have to find

1038
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: someone to protect Patrick Mahomes. So Taylor, you know, you

1039
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: could put him on the on the right side if

1040
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: you got Lamrie Tonsil. He got. Yeah, huge money from

1041
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but not as huge as what Orlando Brown

1042
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: was gonna make. They would be scary as hell with

1043
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsil, that's their left tackle. And but do you

1044
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: think they paid him as a left Juwan Taylor as though?

1045
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean when I see that contract as but it

1046
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it's totally shut down. I tend to

1047
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: think that getting floated out there might be like, well,

1048
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily need you Laramie Tunsil, um. But it

1049
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten shot and down that this could happen. I

1050
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: did go to Tunsil's Twitter page like checking it out.

1051
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: It's always an interesting the likes and whatnot. Aaron Rodgers

1052
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: had a funny like today of like Razul Douglas saying

1053
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: Rogers's phone um, and so the last tweet from Laramie

1054
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: Tunsil is lmao, man, and that was yesterday. That uh,

1055
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, for the kids laughing my ass on. So

1056
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: I just feel like, Okay, something happened. That's I feel

1057
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: like that's been in the lexicon for a while. Thank you,

1058
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: Thank you for the kids, for the children out there

1059
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: for that. H. That was a joke human. That feels like, Okay,

1060
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm reading that. It's like I'm

1061
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: not going to be a Texan anymore. They won't pay

1062
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: me what I want to make h And then immediately

1063
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: retweets Patrick Mahomes saying NFL is gonna be wild this

1064
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: next week. And that's back to back and it does.

1065
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: These guys are all talking to each other. Come on.

1066
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: Cycling back to Eckler, by the way, he has thirty

1067
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns in the past two seasons. Um, he's coming

1068
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: off a career high and targets. He has made twenty

1069
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: one million total in his career. What I'm talking about,

1070
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: and that is not to say that twenty one million

1071
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: is anything to sneeze it. I would love twenty one million.

1072
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: I'd love a million, but twenty one million for you

1073
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: guy who had thirty eight touchdowns in the last two years.

1074
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: You see where it gets a little jankie, like when

1075
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: we talked about some of these other players getting the

1076
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: money they're getting. Eckler is a machine. What about him

1077
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills? They're there. That's spicy, right. Joan

1078
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: Taylor plays a premium position. I get that Taylor hadn't

1079
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: been lighting it up for most of his career an

1080
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Dude developed late. But he gets sixty million

1081
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: and guaranteed money in echoleracy and just can I have

1082
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a raise. That's a spicy meat ball.

1083
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 1: The Falcons are doing some work. They signed Jesse Bates safety,

1084
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: they said, David on Yon mada uh twenty four and

1085
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: a half over two. They're not done yet. They give

1086
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: Chris Lynch from their star guard, one hundred and five

1087
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: million to stay put uh Connie. That is a lot

1088
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: of lifting on the first day of free agency for

1089
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: a team that is looking to make a move. They're

1090
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: just out here flexing, flexing their muscles, um giving out

1091
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: the bag. Jesse Jesse Bates. I like this one because

1092
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew that he was going to be gone,

1093
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: from which she would just would have stopped after that.

1094
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: That was the analysis for the kids. When she says, bag,

1095
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: it's talking about money, money he's bringing I think the

1096
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: kids know this. It's the the geriatrics, yeah, I mean

1097
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: theoriatric millennials. I know. I think I'm one of those.

1098
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't know what the when someone one of

1099
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: you was talking and when it's a drop, um, it

1100
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: feels like this, um, But Jesse Bates last year, I

1101
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: remember again, you're you're firmly a millennial, by the way, Okay,

1102
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: thank you, I'll take it. I feel like my soul

1103
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: is honestly, I'm on the border line. I don't know.

1104
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like this generational stuff is nonsense

1105
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe, yeah, um, should we talk about Jesse.

1106
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't describe to any of that, by the way,

1107
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. When I was at

1108
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals training camp this summer, Jesse Bates still was

1109
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of like we didn't know what he was going

1110
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: to do, sort of like hadn't hadn't signed the tag yet,

1111
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: hadn't reported to camp. Um. So we knew that, you know,

1112
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: he was out of there and he's going to really

1113
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: help out this Falcon's past defense, they allow the eighth

1114
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: most passing yards last season. They desperately needed some help

1115
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: in that department, and Bates second team All Pro in

1116
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourteen interceptions. I mean, he's a really good

1117
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: player and I think that he'll add a lot of

1118
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: value to this team. Lindstrom getting one hundred and five

1119
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: is wild, Like, yeah, he's another example of offensive lineman

1120
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: and he's always been good, but he went to another level.

1121
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: He was second team All Pro this year. They do

1122
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: develop slower than other positions that I'd truly buy. I

1123
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: think other some positions are up and down, like cornerback,

1124
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: maybe off ball, linebackers, stuff like that. Running backs you'd

1125
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: rather have early. Offensive lineman you'd rather have in the middle.

1126
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: Too late, they get better and better, and he got better,

1127
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: and that Bates contract was awesome for him. You like

1128
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: seeing a guy who bet on himself, like with the

1129
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 1: one year deals, never took the long term contract from

1130
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals, be rewarded. Usually it's phony where it's like, oh,

1131
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: the four year sixty four. I was like, oh, that's

1132
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: too much for him. It's actually almost phony. The other way,

1133
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: he gets thirty six million in the first two years.

1134
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: It's it's frontloaded. He should get all that money, like

1135
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: he is going to get paid it is. You know,

1136
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: Dean P's has gone retired, so Ryan Nielsen is a

1137
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: stepping into that role for the first time in Atlanta.

1138
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't fully I've trusted Atlanta's defense in like half

1139
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: a decade plus at this point. And if you're the Bengals,

1140
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: you also lost von Beld to the Panthers, so you

1141
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: have a you have an issue at safety on your

1142
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: might have got way too much money. Twenty four million

1143
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: dollars over two is is wild for a guy who's

1144
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: thirty one, who looks incredible for three or four straight

1145
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: games and then kind of disappears. He's had a very

1146
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: like an up and down career. But like you mentioned,

1147
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: they have a new defensive coordinator who was in New Orleans.

1148
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: Their GM used to be in New Orleans, and you

1149
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: always like, go get the guys you used to love, right.

1150
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: They they targeted aggressively to make a move like this

1151
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: this quickly, and they believe he's a perfect scheme fit

1152
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: for what they do. And you got to spend that

1153
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 1: cap space I do. I'm talking out of both sides

1154
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: of my mouth on some level, because it's a waste

1155
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: to just be rolling over all that cap space. You're

1156
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna take one more break and then we are going

1157
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: to hit the rest of the news is all right,

1158
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: we're back. Um. During the break, um Mark pulled me

1159
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: aside into a private room and he said, it was

1160
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: a long break. Dan, I'll this talk about like where

1161
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: you want to put me? How do you categorize who

1162
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: I am? I'm Generation Next? That is a direct quote

1163
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: of our conversation during that that um, you know, leisurely

1164
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: lengthy break. We just and I looked you right in

1165
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,479
Speaker 1: the eyes that I said, okay, I respect that. Thank

1166
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: you for honoring my uh my needs. Who else is

1167
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,959
Speaker 1: in Generation next? Mark? Literally just one person. It's just Mark,

Speaker 1: all PEPSI drinkers. I think we need Well, No, it's

1169
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:43,840

1170
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's get to the rest. Everyone. Check out

1171
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: colleague's instagram for some great sponsors about this. Oh you

1172
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: didn't hear them talking about it for fifteen minutes in

1173
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: the news room. At least finally stopped Dan from honking.

1174
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: I have noticed result. So one of you, like on

1175
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: a beach drinking. The product that you know, I pulled

1176
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: over to the side of the road. It's organic. Yeah.

1177
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: The Disney story real quick. Yes, I have another upcoming

1178
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: Pepsi post for you guys. And I was like, guys,

1179
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: are my fans out there next to the rest of

1180
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: them for generation next? Uh? So I went to Disney

1181
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: for the first time ever a couple days ago, and

1182
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that could be perfect. There's so

1183
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: many things going on at Disney. I could figure out

1184
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: some way to like integrate a pepsi or market there.

1185
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: So I am going in through security at Disneyland, and

1186
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: I get through security with the Pepsi. I didn't even

1187
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: think it would be a problem because whatever, You're a

1188
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: pitch woman, so of course it shouldn't bet And I'm

1189
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: gathering all of my things and it's very chaotic and

1190
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: hectic because our friend that took us to Disney really

1191
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: loves Disney, she's a Disney person, and we needed to

1192
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: be there for rope drop, which I didn't even know

1193
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: what that's a thing. So we are rushing to get

1194
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: through and I don't like to be rushed, and so

1195
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm already like kind of like in a in a

1196
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: space that is not great for me. And I gather

1197
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: all of my things as I'm walking away from security

1198
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: and I hear something crash onto the ground and it's

1199
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: the Pepsi can and it explodes everywhere. It's like dollar

1200
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: signs coming out of it, starts spraying the security guard. Yeah.

1201
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: So then I had pepsi all over me the rest

1202
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: of the day and we were there for like fourteen hours.

1203
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: That's a great symbolism. You're post captured. We'll capture all this. No,

1204
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: because we were going to miss the tram, so I

1205
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: have fun and then you would have missed rope drop. Yeah.

1206
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I think that this story. Yeah, huge platform. I didn't

1207
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: realize that was a crutch for me, which I'm just realizing,

1208
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: my honor. Just we've got some developing news. I'm not

1209
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: going I linebacker David Long ranked in the top twenty

1210
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: five of my top one on one free and is

1211
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: signing with the Miami Dolphins two years, eleven million dollars.

1212
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: Love that deal compared to the tremade endmonds. Yet that's

1213
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: all I was saying. That's all I was saying, Like

1214
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: he's a I know he doesn't have the forty time.

1215
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: Maybe not quite as much. But he's a football player.

1216
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: He has great instincts. This is a great value you guys.

1217
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Hear something not something I haven't heard anything. I pleaded

1218
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: like multiple episode right, Um, I just always your entryway

1219
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: that David Long is a great linebacker and um he's

1220
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: like he's a little limited in coverage, but he's pretty

1221
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: dang good. And the Dolphins got a great deal here.

1222
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean looking at the other linebacker signings, like what

1223
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: the Bears did today, that's a pretty nice deal forever

1224
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: THEFC really is uh looking pretty go hold on that, Okay,

1225
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: I come to I get it. Great Covo coming up.

1226
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Maybe cut to like Titans headquarters and like it just

1227
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: ran Carthon like taking a massive nap in like an

1228
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: office somewhere. The Titans signed. Titans are not like there

1229
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: are no pillars. They signed. They signed somebody. I don't

1230
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: know if we'll get to it on this episode. Maybe

1231
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: it's just like it's like a circus tent when they

1232
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: have they they're beginning to take it down. They take

1233
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: out the big pole in the middle. It's just like

1234
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: a big flat like giant big top on the on

1235
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: the turt on like the hard dirt ground depressing. Meanwhile,

1236
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: the Titans right now now, I support that, though I

1237
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: think the Titans should try to win zero games. It's like, yeah,

1238
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: I feel that there are no weight strategies, there are

1239
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: no weight verying walls. It's like a FEMA trailer that

1240
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: they gave out. It's like that never worked. Way to go, Brownie.

1241
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Remember then it's just like Ryan Downhill and Derek Henry

1242
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: like gasping for air under this gigantic big top, like

1243
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: let us out, let us escape. Meanwhile, he's trying to

1244
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: do some cop coping mechanism here, being like, I don't

1245
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: know if you're gonna get but I did like this

1246
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: deal that they signed later in the day. Yes, they

1247
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: got the former first round of Philadelphia Eagles tackle Andre Dillard,

1248
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: literally the only player who's ever played on the offensive

1249
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: line for the Eagles that didn't work out and end

1250
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: up being one of the great trying to get hurt.

1251
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Jordan is really good played. He was like five you know, okay,

1252
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: it was it was. I looked up his PFF grades

1253
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and that's not the end shot. I'm just saying like

1254
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: they've had a lot of people go through there and

1255
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: they all end up doing great. Except for this one guy.

1256
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: That's the guy nine and a half million a year.

1257
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: It's like, not a huge deal for us. What's going

1258
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: to be their starting left tackle? Right? That was your

1259
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Oscars party. Let's talk about something plus the pressing. It

1260
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: was super fun good. Yeah it was at your place.

1261
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Uh not exactly, no, but I thought it was correct

1262
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: because yeah, you you I thought you were hosting an

1263
01:03:56,080 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Oscars right, pize someone else's hospital. It's different. I know

1264
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers happened, we would have done a pot.

1265
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: It would have been where is your commitment to the show,

1266
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: It would have happened. What did you bring it to

1267
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: the party, like like Jica, Well, Jessica was there. We

1268
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: brought a bottle of wine, two folding chairs, and a

1269
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: lot of themed foods, so we made chair well we

1270
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: need extra chairs, apartment doesn't have billion chairs. And uh,

1271
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: all the foods were named after puns. So we brought

1272
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: the everything everywhere, all at buns, which were cinnamon rolls.

1273
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: They were great. I'm so upset that Dan ask you

1274
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: what you brought. I adore it. I love that. I

1275
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: love it. I've never changed which one of you came

1276
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: up with that with the pun or did you just

1277
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: seamlessly come up with the ta. No, they said it

1278
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: like they're like, what should we say? And then they

1279
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: said it at the same time, and then they just

1280
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: like cat passionately kissed in the kitchen as like a

1281
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: heart went around them as like a what do they

1282
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: call those things? The wipe the next love their great

1283
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: life there. That is exactly how it went out. It's

1284
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: like I do on three cinnamons. What's it called? What

1285
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: was it called? Everything everywhere, all at buns? Okay, okay,

1286
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: can you remember that? Yeah? What should we call it?

1287
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everything everywhere, all at buns? Big swoop,

1288
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: fade out to the next perfect scene of you guys

1289
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: in your life again? Yeah? Folding chairs? What do we

1290
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: need on three folding chairs? No? All right, let's move on.

1291
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: That is weird though, because no one has furniture, so

1292
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: they needed someone to bring folding chairs. But people that

1293
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: don't have why do you have folded I was wondering

1294
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: about that water too, and any other like survival blankets,

1295
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: no batteries. Did you consider everything everywhere all at prunes?

1296
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: That's light. That's what Greg came up with with his

1297
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: significant Is this where we tell Greg. We were all

1298
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: off the party. Yeah, there was meat balls quiet on

1299
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: their western front. That was a pretty good one. You

1300
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: guys should have been at the man Cheese of Innish

1301
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: year and was a cheese. Yeah. I can't remember someone

1302
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: tar and it's literally just like a wet bull. There

1303
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: was a tar pun, but I don't remember chips with tar.

1304
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: It's pretty good tartara chips like someone's dead on the floor.

1305
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, he actually holds the prop. All right,

1306
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Uh, where we finished things up?

1307
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Kale Blair, kale a healthy dish. I like that? All right, Sorry,

1308
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: go we're back to the what we're doing. Former Steeler

1309
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: Cam Sutton heads to the Lions. He gets twenty two

1310
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: and a half million guaranteed. The Steelers then turn around

1311
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: and signed Pat Peterson, the veteran cover man. Uh you

1312
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh comes out? Okay, there is Peterson? Have anything

1313
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 1: left to the tank? Where we at there? Peterson feels

1314
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: like one of these Steelers signings that I just trust

1315
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: will work out. But they really needed cornerback help. So

1316
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: after losing Sun young man, No, it's a young man's position.

1317
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: He played pretty well last year. These are the type

1318
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: of guys that weirdly get undervalued in free agency. It's like, oh,

1319
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: just let's pay Pat Pete seven million dollars. He'll be

1320
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: a fine starting quarterback. You don't have to go crazy.

1321
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: But I think they were disappointed. It sounded like they

1322
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: were trying to keep Cam Sutton, who they developed into

1323
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,479
Speaker 1: a nice player. He got twenty two and a half

1324
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: million guaranteed from the Lions, who definitely needed another quarterback.

1325
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: I think that makes them a little less likely to

1326
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: take a cornerback at six. A lot of people had

1327
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: that mocked as them taking the top cornerback off the board.

1328
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Witherspoon maybe Now it's like a little more Anthony Richardson,

1329
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: possibly if you ever slipped there. But either way, like

1330
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,919
Speaker 1: they needed a cornerback. I like that Steelers can still

1331
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: take a cornerback, though sure. Ian's tweet when it happened

1332
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: was ba ba Patrick Peterson a surprise, A perennial star

1333
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: headed to a historic franchise to beef up. They're back end.

1334
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Have you noticed this thing? It's starting to gain more

1335
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: momentum with the insiders, Ian and Mike and the pell

1336
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: raiser um the guys on live television with the phones,

1337
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: and we're now we're treating these men of the media,

1338
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: these insiders, as if they're carrying bayonets during the Revolutionary War,

1339
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: and they're just these like fearless heroes that will do

1340
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: anything to defend them defend their country and get the

1341
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: story like they're fighting each other too. They're fighting each other.

1342
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: In fact, I like this, I had justin cut this.

1343
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: It's real. I mean, the battle is real, and the

1344
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: battle is sometimes within your own platoon. Listen right and

1345
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: listen to uh, Mike g getting a phone call when

1346
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: they just threw it to him to deliver something from

1347
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 1: Denver to the Seahawks. And if you remember, James Palmer

1348
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: did a tremendous I'm on the air, I'll call you

1349
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 1: right back. Don't give it to anybody else. Bye. Um.

1350
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: The Shelby Harris was part of that trade. He did

1351
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: a phenomenal interview with our James give it to you.

1352
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: And then Ian got a phone call and what happened

1353
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: justin he ripped, he ripped off his headset and he

1354
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: was out of there. Yeah, he was Tom Pellicero like

1355
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 1: faked like he was getting a phone call just to

1356
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: mess with Mike. And then he got a real phone

1357
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: call and had to bolt off the side. I was

1358
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: watching this live, and I can confirm to you, having

1359
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: worked with Mike Garafolo closely for so many years, if

1360
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: you don't know Mike and just heard that sound drop like,

1361
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: you'd be like m I feel like he was just

1362
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,839
Speaker 1: putting on for like the camera, because it's free agency.

1363
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: That's literally almost every single production meeting I've had with

1364
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Garafolo that has happened. Also a man of high integrity,

1365
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 1: so I don't think he would fake things. Yeah, and

1366
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: I also liked that the person he was speaking to

1367
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: totally disregarded what Mike said as he should have be like,

1368
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: no loyalty for you. I'm not waiting, I'm calling rap

1369
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: sheet of you beats it by fifteen seconds of the other.

1370
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: There was also about a fifteen minute period where Jane

1371
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Slater's dog in the background um sounded as if it

1372
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 1: had taken six times. What's listening to that too? They're

1373
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to put that one in the garage has

1374
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: two dogs? Yeah, that was one of the two. Whoever

1375
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 1: the culprit and I thought it was in our newsroom

1376
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: for a minute that a dog had escaped into us.

1377
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: It sounded like Birdie. It did sound like Birdie. Yeah,

1378
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: I think the first thing, and knowing Ian, the first

1379
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: thing Ian saying when he picks up the phone is

1380
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: why did you call him first? Oh? Of course? Question like,

1381
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: all right, now, what is it? Interesting? World? I think

1382
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: they're just getting called because the agents are seeing them

1383
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: on TV and they want to say, what a sandbox

1384
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: to live in and play in? And we've given, you know,

1385
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: pel Raiser a great nickname. And he seems to not

1386
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: have any concept this has occurred in his life. Have

1387
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: you told him yet? I don't really have a chance.

1388
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: I don't speak with him ever regular but we weren't

1389
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 1: once yesterday. I think it's something we should personally talk

1390
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: um unless you want to be our ambassador on it.

1391
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: Do you want to? That would be weird, That would

1392
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: be weird. But I don't think I have another show

1393
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: with him for a while, So it's on you guys.

1394
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,759
Speaker 1: It's a great nickname. Maybe they'll send us to the draft.

1395
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if that happens. Simply to provide the message, well,

1396
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,600
Speaker 1: then we can. That would give us the opening to

1397
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: have the conversation. Would in the hotel lobby, Hey, fhy

1398
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: um got you a bit of an elite nickname brand

1399
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: and maybe get rich off. It's a it's a masculine nickname.

1400
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: I think it's one that suggests that he's great at

1401
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: what he does. Yeah like that. There's he's got a

1402
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: better nickname than it's a better nickname than rap sheet. Right,

1403
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: and also makes people think of the cinematic classic hell

1404
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: raisor starring Pinhead and hell Rais two, three, four, and

1405
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: I think four. It does make them think of all

1406
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: five of those, but like the whole the kind of like, hey,

1407
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: I'll call you back. Don't give it to anyone else,

1408
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: like pell Raiser is like, right, you don't give it

1409
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: to somebody else, You give it to pell Raiser, right

1410
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 1: or else? And and for the kids out there who

1411
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: weren't familiar with the movie, his name was Pinhead because

1412
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 1: he literally had pins in his head. I like that.

1413
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: You're just describing everything for the for the kids kids. Yeah,

1414
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: there's a lot of explanations from Greg on today's episode.

1415
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I like it. It's informational and that's what today's episode

1416
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: is about. Uh dron Payne. Hey, guys, the play commanders

1417
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: have them in their building. They don't let him get

1418
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 1: out the defensive lineman gets a four year, ninety million

1419
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:27,560
Speaker 1: dollar contract, reportedly via rap sheet sixty million and guarantees

1420
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: he had gotten the franchise tag, so they wasn't going anywhere.

1421
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Good news for my guy, Quinnin Williams. If Dron Payne's

1422
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: getting that, that's at least Quinn Williams gets. Well, oh sorry,

1423
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons. If the Titans decide to feel the defense

1424
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 1: this season, like he that's another framework there for that

1425
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: con That's a lot of money. They got a dragon.

1426
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 1: It is really good to time your very best season

1427
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: of your career in your contract here, which was what

1428
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: DNS do. Good weekend for quinnin Williams too, because his

1429
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: brother got paid yes see by the Jets. I like

1430
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: that move, but let's make sure we get the better

1431
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Williams speaking of jets to, Speaking of Jets's, I really

1432
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: like Naice Sam Darnald Sam Donald. Yeah, he is not

1433
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 1: on the Greg Rosenthal top one oh one, but he

1434
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: is now the property of Kyle Shannon, who knows an

1435
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: unpolished gem when he sees one. With Brock Party recovering

1436
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 1: from elbow surgery with Trey lance A big old question mark.

1437
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: The Niners signed Sam Darnel or agree with Sam Darnold

1438
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: on a one year contract, giving them a little bit

1439
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 1: more stability in that QB room and potentially and here

1440
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: this is my sincere hope, because this is somebody who

1441
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: thought that Donald was wronged earlier in his career, and

1442
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: I thought he got some sense of self respect in

1443
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: the league back during his Carolina tenure. It would be

1444
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: full circle for him to now be on a loaded

1445
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,680
Speaker 1: offense with a gifted play caller, just to see what

1446
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: would happen. I hope he gets meaningful snaps and that

1447
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: would be fun. Maybe he becomes who imagine how rich

1448
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: would it be, Greggy if Sam Donald was the geno

1449
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Smith of two years. It takes as an opportunity and

1450
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a high level play. I mean,

1451
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: the Darnold heads out there are there, you DJ, the

1452
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: people who said Darnold was like one of the great

1453
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: prospects ever, including DJ, and there were plenty of them

1454
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: out there. I think I've believed in him throughout if

1455
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: you could just get into the right situation. And last

1456
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: year it was like, look how it's going, and then

1457
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: he had like the worst game any quarterback had all

1458
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: season and weekend seen and to kind of wipe them

1459
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm just saying, I mean, how many

1460
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: times you're gonna bring that up? Too many? They didn't

1461
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: say the money on this deal, but it is a

1462
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could ever get on the field

1463
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,680
Speaker 1: for them, it would be an incredible opportunity. When they

1464
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: don't say the money, it means it's not much money.

1465
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: But that's not a surprise. He's gonna be the third quarterback,

1466
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: I think if everyone's healthy. But if Perdie's not ready,

1467
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 1: and then Lance is even taken as the thing. It's

1468
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: a contract that probably has some incentives, but he can

1469
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: be the third quarterback. If he doesn't en. He's not

1470
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna be Obviously, he wasn't gonna be in the Panther's plans.

1471
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: He wants to play, but I would think he would

1472
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: might he might be open to waiting things out a

1473
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: little bit unless the Niners were like, hey, the way

1474
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,440
Speaker 1: things are set up right now, you're gonna have an opportunity.

1475
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be third string in week one. I

1476
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: think this might tell you more about Purdie's timetable that

1477
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: or like there is this world where if you're going

1478
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,879
Speaker 1: to ride into the season and even might before Darnald

1479
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: with Purdie and Trey Lance, Like, are you really keeping

1480
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: both of these guys? I mean, there's a reason you

1481
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,560
Speaker 1: would maybe, but you could potentially trade someone like Trey

1482
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:43,879
Speaker 1: Lan Lance get traded. I'm just saying wild anymore. Nothing's

1483
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: wild him. But I think with Purdie is the future

1484
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: there that they bought in on him. Darnald is the

1485
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: backup they're comfortable with. And let's I think they're just

1486
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: scared because Josh Johnson entered an NFC Championship grant for them,

1487
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: and I get that it's a great landing spot for

1488
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Darnold and it goes back to California. It's like, I

1489
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: kind of like it for him a lot. If you

1490
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: got to get a couple of spots starts early, you

1491
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: get a different version of him in an offense that's competent.

1492
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy for Sam all Right and Bucks News. They

1493
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 1: resign Jamel Dean the cornerback four years, fifty two million,

1494
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: twenty six guaranteed via rap sheet. They also have an

1495
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: eye out Baker Mayfield. Speaking of interests. Lass of twenty

1496
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: eighteen quarterbacks, Mayfield was potentially on the radar of the Niners. Obviously,

1497
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: they went in a different direction with Darnold number one

1498
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: oh one on the top one oh one. There's been

1499
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: some talk that they could eye him as potentially a

1500
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: guy who could start for them week one if he

1501
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: could beat out Kyle Trask in a camp battle. It

1502
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: doesn't sound promising like this is. I understand that this

1503
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: is the situation that the Bucks are in right now

1504
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: now that Tom Brady has retired, but bringing in Baker

1505
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 1: Mayfield to compete with Kyle Trask is not something that

1506
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: is really selling me on the team right I am

1507
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 1: curious what else they'll do. Baby, They'll draft a quarterback.

1508
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: They are this team that's just floating out there. Their

1509
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: new coordinator was the Seahawks quarterbacks coach last year, Dave Canalis.

1510
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: But they still have players there. I mean, I don't

1511
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,719
Speaker 1: think Godwin's going anywhere. They had a good offensive line,

1512
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: they got players. I wonder if if I would I'd

1513
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: rather be in Sam Darnold's shoes though, and just have

1514
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 1: a chance to play in San Francisco, then just try

1515
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: out Baker Mayfield. If Baker's destiny is becoming more Fitzpatrick

1516
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,879
Speaker 1: in where he ends up hanging around longer than anyone expected,

1517
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: and he pops once or twice almost every year when

1518
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 1: he gets opportunities, and sometimes that ends in like a

1519
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: starting job that may last or may not last. What

1520
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: if that's kind of Baker's arc And would he signed

1521
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: off on that. I'm sure he might if he as

1522
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: much upside as well. So Ryan Fitzpatrick. I know Ryan

1523
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick had. Ryan Fitzpatrick had went through a lot of valleys.

1524
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we got the full like version

1525
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: where he just was so comfortable in his own skin

1526
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: and so having so much fun at the end of

1527
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: his career. Like too, I could too, because I think

1528
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Baker's had sort of a shadow of him for a while.

1529
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: And I'm not pitching him as a starter, but like

1530
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,480
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of interest reportedly in Jacoby Brissette

1531
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: in Tampa, but I think, like I'm glad they're not

1532
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 1: a week ago it was like Kyle Trask or nothing.

1533
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: It's like, don't even try that on us right now.

1534
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: So like Baker, I think is someone you could bring

1535
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: in as like a patch and he's not going to

1536
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: cost you a ton of money. I think I don't

1537
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: know if he has the people skills that Fitzpatrick has.

1538
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: I think to have that type of career, you need

1539
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 1: to be that dude that can fit in any situation

1540
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 1: and that everyone loves in any situation, whether he's the backup,

1541
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: whether he's the starter. I mean, he threw for thirty

1542
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 1: five thousand. There's not a lot of yards in his

1543
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 1: grider and a lot of Ryan Fitzpatrick's. There's still a

1544
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: bunch of front offices that have their scouting report on

1545
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,640
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. And when you're a first overall pick, you're

1546
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna get just many more chance than if you were

1547
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: third or fourth round. Yes, Robert Woods signed with the

1548
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Texans formerly of the Titans for more money than I

1549
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: personally expected. What was the money on that twelve and

1550
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: a half or two? I just I don't know. It

1551
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: seemed rich considering he gave the Tennessee nothing coming off

1552
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: an ACL injury and he's north of thirty right, great digger,

1553
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,799
Speaker 1: my little are Were you a little surprised to see?

1554
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 1: I was? Yeah, And so I mean before free agency

1555
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 1: even started. Is like the Texans prioritize getting That's what

1556
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: the timing was interesting too. He finished with the fewest

1557
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: yards of his career. I think the ideas you're maybe

1558
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 1: better the one more year away from that surgery. Maybe

1559
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: he was getting a little better at the end of

1560
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: the season to get that money suggest that there was

1561
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 1: some sort of bidding. And I wouldn't be surprised if

1562
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: the Rams were the team that we're trying to bring

1563
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 1: him back, wouldn't extending like shopped around. It is interesting

1564
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: that Robert Woods and Cooks are back on the same

1565
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 1: team again like they were in All Rights. Beat writer

1566
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Paul Kuharsky tweeted, he will be a quarterback's best friend

1567
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:08,640
Speaker 1: if your quarterback loves slow receivers. Wow, he was on

1568
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the show, right. He wasn't angry about Yeah, he was

1569
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: really annoyed with a lot was salty about that name. Ye,

1570
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: you and him went at it. We really we really

1571
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: want toe to toe hands his v Kuharsky uh The

1572
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: Patriots sign bit cornerback Jonathan Jones. The Falcons acquired John

1573
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,600
Speaker 1: WHO Smith from the Patriots. It turns out that the

1574
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Johnah Smith Hunter Henry like spending spree was weird when

1575
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,600
Speaker 1: it happened, and J J. JOHNA. Smith did nothing with

1576
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: the Pats and they get a seventh round pick uh,

1577
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: and then you start task, Well, Falcons just got Johnny Smith?

1578
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: What Arthur Smith reunion there? What about Kyle Pitts? Is

1579
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 1: he still is? He's somebody that's floating out there. I

1580
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean he had one touchdown for the Patriots,

1581
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: not that touchdowns or everything, but that was how style

1582
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,600
Speaker 1: Pits have in two years with the Falcons three. You know,

1583
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: it's toughest tight ends coming into the league that position

1584
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: when you are who is this Elizabeth right before she

1585
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: tests positive for COVID like John Smith. I don't understand

1586
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: what happened. I don't understand what happened to Johnah Smith.

1587
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 1: I used to love him with the Titans. So he'll

1588
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: be a perfect second tight end, not asked to do

1589
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: too much. What is he was so bad for the Patriots?

1590
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: So bad? I'm still trying to figure out what Colleen

1591
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: was doing there. Who's the actress in a show where

1592
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: she plays like an amateur detective. It's very hot right

1593
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: now in Peacock Grave Digger Man. That's tough that, you

1594
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: know what, Digger It's also tough for Dan Natasha Leone, Yes,

1595
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Natasha Leone. What's the name of the show. I mean,

1596
01:21:55,920 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: you guys don't know this with you? Excellent show. Every

1597
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: I didn't have to face I can't. I can't like

1598
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: lock in that name. That was very leone. Yes, I

1599
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: love right. I was like, what is going on? Who

1600
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: is talking to me? I didn't position, I didn't hate it.

1601
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: It was just a little jar all right, odds and

1602
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: ends hit it Connie, okay um the singing part like

1603
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: the music, yeahs ends odds and ends, say everybody tell

1604
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 1: your friends it's odds and ends? Who did you? Just

1605
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,520
Speaker 1: did you double track her vocals? And she was harmonizing

1606
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: with herself because the last time she did it, she

1607
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: nailed it so perfectly that I clipped it. I thought

1608
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: it was just like sometimes you need to do next

1609
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: time yourself. You gotta sing in a different key next

1610
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: time so you can harmonize himself, so I can practically

1611
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: graver next time. Play the one of her harmonizing with

1612
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: herself until we can have three colleagues. Just gonna keep

1613
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: building colleens, like I'm not even joking everyone, and we're

1614
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna get it untill it's basically a full choir, a

1615
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 1: noble quest all right, Delight The Texans signed case Keenum

1616
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: formerly of the Bills, so he is going to be

1617
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a back up there when they get their new quarterback.

1618
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 1: The Bucks will trade or cut Shack Mason keep an

1619
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: eye on his market. The Brown signed agbo Ocacaraquo twelve

1620
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: and a half million guaranteed. There you go, Marquis. The

1621
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: Bengals bring back Jermaine Pratt on a two year deal.

1622
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern leaves the Jets for the Bills ads their line.

1623
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: Uh Matt Milano gets a new deal from the Bills.

1624
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd back to the Giants and a one year deal.

1625
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: We'll see if that ever becomes anything. O'Dell works out

1626
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: for a bunch of teams. He's reportedly looking for twenty

1627
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: million dollars. The Jets, as we said, resigned Quincy Williams,

1628
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: and the Lions bring back Isaiah. I will tell you

1629
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:03,600
Speaker 1: one little thing I was talking to Greg that like,

1630
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: if you go back to the early days of our

1631
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: show when Case Keenum was a Texan and had a

1632
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: couple of spicy spots starts here and there, and that

1633
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: was Chris Westling favorite for just how aggressive he was.

1634
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, didn't think he was a perfect quarterback, but

1635
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,639
Speaker 1: he would talk about letting your case Keenum flag fly

1636
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: and now he's back in Houston, and that made me

1637
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:31,639
Speaker 1: think of fo your keen Chase a little accent though, Yeah,

1638
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel a little bit, just in terms of like backups.

1639
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 1: And Chase Daniel was in the green room here at

1640
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: work yesterday after we finished the show and I walked

1641
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 1: in and I was like, Oh, who's this new producer

1642
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: in my head? And I introduced myself and I didn't

1643
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: catch his name. And so there's a bunch of people

1644
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: in the green room, I mean Scott Pioli, Steve White,

1645
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones, Drew and I was like, oh, I'm sorry,

1646
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 1: what did you say your name is again? And he

1647
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: was like, um, Chase Daniel the corner. Oh, I just

1648
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: have never seen you with your helmet off. Then just

1649
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 1: like run to your car and drive them. Yea, but

1650
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: I have the wrong Connor McGovern. Yeah, not the Jets,

1651
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern, the Cowboys, connorc got it. It's confusing. They're

1652
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: both in the AFC East now half of it. Connor

1653
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: McGovern's that were available still available, half of them are

1654
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: now there. Clarity, good clarity. It is one of the

1655
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: great things about Twitter. You know, on some level Twitter

1656
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: has changed our minds, maybe in a negative way. But

1657
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you can bring up this case

1658
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:36,639
Speaker 1: Keenum flag fly, put it in with an at Chris Westling,

1659
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 1: and you can find about seventy different tweets of people

1660
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: tweeting at west about it, or west tweety about it,

1661
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: and it going on and on for years and years.

1662
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: All of us are spotting in different things. And so

1663
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: I love that good was that little left from you?

1664
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: Just I was just thinking about Chris. It was freak flag.

1665
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: It made me giggle, maybe giggle like a schoolgirl thinking

1666
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: about how much you loved Case Keen. Well, that's sweet.

1667
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 1: We won't make fun of you. Then, covered thank you,

1668
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 1: safe wherever you are. I always think about that whenever,

1669
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: whenever Case Keenum gets into a game and he just

1670
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: gets back there and then there's that one moment where

1671
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: he's about to get crushed and he thinks like, Hm,

1672
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: should I throw it out of bounds? Should I take

1673
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: the sack? No, Let's just throw it as hard as

1674
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: I can, as far as I can and see what happens.

1675
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: Like that's letting your case Keenum flag fly. It is

1676
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: And now the opposite side of Twitter, which is now

1677
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: owned by an oligarch M. You must remove text message

1678
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 1: two factor authentication by March nineteenth or your account is

1679
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: shut down. Oh I got that too. About that, I

1680
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't like that. I guess they're gonna

1681
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 1: shut my account down. Shut it down? Then do you

1682
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: lose like everything you like? I hope that all we

1683
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: were told is you need the two factor the case

1684
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 1: trying to get you to pay for that. Uh yeah,

1685
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: so I gotta is upstairs? Well or what is our

1686
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: company doing about it? I would say my questions to

1687
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: someone who is high up in that department, and they

1688
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 1: said they'll get back to me. Well, March nineteen, six

1689
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: days from now. So it looks like all accounts are

1690
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: going to be wiped out a race from the internet

1691
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: in six days. All right, that's it is that it

1692
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: We did ninety minutes and no Aaron Rodgers news. No,

1693
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 1: but the Giants signed a linebacker. Do we care? I

1694
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a you put it in our

1695
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: messaging clienting. Yes, I think it's important, breaking news, not developing.

1696
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 1: Go for a graver. This is your time to shine

1697
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: the Giants. According to Ian Rappaport have signed former Cults

1698
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: linebacker Bobby Okaka, giving them a new face in the

1699
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: middle of their defense. Four years, forty million with twenty

1700
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,480
Speaker 1: two million guaranteed. Again, I want to see the details.

1701
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's funny. Money might be a one year deal.

1702
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: But also Mike greg he plays defense. Yuck. That's not

1703
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. But a lot of these offball linebackers

1704
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: are getting a lot of money on day one because

1705
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 1: there's not many other positions out there. They've needed that

1706
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: position for a long time. They were completed. After there,

1707
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: giant seem to get better. They're really gonna make that leap,

1708
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: so we'll see. I like, he played really well, you

1709
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: can do something there anything else before we uh and

1710
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: today's program and just as you I imagine could imagine,

1711
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: we're going to be all over um your podcast outlets

1712
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 1: of choice this week. We'll have a show Monday through Thursday,

1713
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: and if we need to drop a Friday pod, we're

1714
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,679
Speaker 1: gonna do it. No more oscar parties to worry about

1715
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: whatever about we need to drop a like Monday late night.

1716
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: Because Rogers just wants to give a big middle finger

1717
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,600
Speaker 1: to the media establishment. What do you what do you

1718
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: think I'm here, I'm ready. Let's do it. To be

1719
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: determined TBD. What about you, Connie, You've said it all. Yeah,

1720
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: that's there more to say. Perhaps, No, not If I

1721
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: said it all, that's it. It's it's time to get

1722
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: out of here. All right, let's do it, shall we?

1723

1724
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: I've been waiting all weekend. Now it's finally my time. No,

1725
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: apparently not, because we're gonna do an Aaron Rodgers show

Speaker 1: in four hours. L
