00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: in the form of a dog with separation anxiety.

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: It's Colleen Wolf.

Speaker 3: I'm a contestant on this show where we will crown

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: the most important championship of all.

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 5: Is that a conflict of been the off season champion?

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 5: I do feel like we ran into We only have.

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: So much talent, all though you know Eric could handle it.

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: Those pipes are absolutely fantastic. And we'll get to how

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: the production room is going to be a part of

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: this show in.

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: Just a second.

29
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 3: But yes, the Eagles, they got their title, their second one,

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: Colleen three months ago or so. It's been a great

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: run and now it's time to crown the off season Champion.

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: I love champions, I love talking about champions. I like

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: hanging out with champions, I like supporting champions. So this

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 5: is a segment for.

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: Me, and it's an important championship. I remember the Dolphins

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: used to win it a lot back in the day.

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: The Bears have won it many times recently. When you

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: win it, they actually put a little printed out piece

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: of paper in the facility. Off Season Championship, kind of

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: like that Lakers in Season two title.

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: It's got to be simple. Here are the rules.

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: We each present a team to be considered as off

43
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 3: season Champion. You give a little spiel, We'll maybe give

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: that person some questions, have a little discussion afterwards, and

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 3: then we each score whether that team one to ten

46
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: how we evaluate whether they should be off season Champions.

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: The production room, led by our friend Eric Roberts, will

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: have one vote. You cannot vote for your own or

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: not score for your own team. I think it should

50
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: be pretty simple.

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 6: Yes, it should be pretty simple.

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 7: And we have gone over the rules and the math

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 7: many times, hunting many times in advance. So this has

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 7: potential to not be anything like Quarterback Island.

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 8: This has potential to work.

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: This has potential to be a running segment or not.

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: It's up to you, Colleen. I'm gonna talk to me.

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: Get you going, okay, colleague AKA.

59
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: Whenever I have the ponytail in, I am Colliana Grande.

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 8: I would like to be you know, talk to us

61
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 8: that way. It's clear what I'm looking for.

62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: I hold space for that nickname.

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 8: Thank you.

64
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: We're going to two teams, by the way, so we'll

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: go around the room a couple of times.

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 8: Okay, all right.

67
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 5: So for my off season winner, the Indianapolis.

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 8: When was out just kidding, I'm not gonna do it again.

69
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: This year, I swear, all right, Okay, good the Chicago Bears.

70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 8: I love what the Bears have done with the place.

71
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: They've made this entire off season all about setting up

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams for success. Ryan Poles is building a roster

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: like a man who just got designated DJ at the party.

74
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 5: He's aggressive, he's confident, he's just committed to the vibe.

75
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: At this point of everything that's happening in Chicago, Ben

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 5: Johnson was the bell of the coaching cycle ball I

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 5: love that higher the most. He's modern, he's creative, and

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: maybe the Bears first head coach that knows actually how

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: to score points on purpose.

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: We haven't seen it.

81
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 5: Want the offensive line looking like a group that can

82
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: give Caleb Williams an extra second to breathe. That's, you know,

83
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: recently seemed like a foreign concept.

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 8: Caleb. He was sacked a league high sixty eight times.

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: We know that.

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 8: So what did they do?

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 5: They went out, they traded it for Joe Toney and

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 5: Jonah Jackson. They paid the center, Drew Dolman a nice amount,

89
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 5: and then they drafted another offensive lineman in the second round.

90
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: They're hoping that he can eventually be the starting tackle

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 5: for them. Like that is how you protect your quarterback,

92
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: quarterback of the future, your franchise quarterback with lineman, not

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: just like Prayers.

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 8: At this point. Defensively, they have Grady.

95
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 5: Jarrett now that they brought in, and Deo at a

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 5: baying yell, a ding bo Okay, we're gonna work on

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 5: that came over from Indy and I like Shamar Turner

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: to the second round rookie who at that point, I mean,

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 5: he's gonna He's I think gonna.

100
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 8: Have a huge impact.

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: But the bottom line, I feel like the Bears, if

102
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 5: everything goes right for them, they could be vying for

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 5: the division in the most difficult division in all of football.

104
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 8: It's just it just got that much more talented.

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: I love it.

106
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: I think it makes a lot of sense. Are you

107
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 3: concerned at all that the Bears and their fans claim

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: offseason championship status basically every season? And this could be

109
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: a fun document and look into the future of NFL daily.

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: We'll see how the off season champions actually do in

111
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: the season. It's like they've they've gotten us hype before

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: any concerns there.

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: You know what, I would like to go back and

114
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: see how many times offseason champions have hit and made

115
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: marginal kind of progress, because I feel like the Lions

116
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 5: that year, like the second half of the season when

117
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 5: they finally started to turn things around. Yes, was that

118
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 5: a huge off season for them? Were they one of

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: the off season winners then? Or were they still just

120
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 5: like a team that was downtrodden. I'm trying to remember,

121
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 5: but I mean, you're right. You bring up a great

122
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 5: point because these teams are perennially in the conversations, and

123
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 5: you know what, inevitably you end up talking about them

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 5: so much during training camp and they're the teams that's

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: when they shine during the off season, and then once

126
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: the regular season begins, it's like businesses usually.

127
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 7: I think what helps the Bears here is somebody who

128
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 7: always is like so on board with the Bears in

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 7: like March and April, and while they drafted well, and

130
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 7: oh they brought in the right free agents and you know,

131
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 7: all of.

132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 6: This is that their floor is that they are a.

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 7: Team that hasn't put it together on offense yet, that

134
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 7: has a really solid defense, and now they have the

135
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 7: added teeth of having a head coach who knows how

136
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 7: to win, who gives them an edge unlike previous regimes

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 7: recently have and somebody who and Ben Johnson, who I

138
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 7: do think is a legit, bona fide person to take

139
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 7: what this offense was looking like and sort of flailing

140
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 7: and miss and you know, direction list and take it

141
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 7: into having an identity, having a cohesive plan, and you

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 7: can already see that he's working really well with the

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 7: front office in communicating that plan. You could see it

144
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 7: by how they attack the draft, the types of skill

145
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 7: players going after Colston Lovelin versus.

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 5: So that was the one thing that I forgot, and

147
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: that's my favorite move of the entire offseason is drafting him.

148
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: So now they can have those two tight end sets

149
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: with Cole comet.

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: I also, you know, I prepped this one a little

151
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 3: bit because peek behind the curtain.

152
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: I was ready to go for the Bears.

153
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: No, No, I like it, and I actually kind of

154
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: think Dennis Allen is a sneaky good defensive coordinator who's

155
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: going to be good in that role.

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: That's part of it too.

157
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: It is the upgrade from Eberflus to Ben Johnson, huge,

158
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: Like the biggest thing to me, I think if you

159
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: were going to pick any knits, it's this idea that

160
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: they fix the offensive line, like we got to see it.

161
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: Jonah Jackson was a complete bust. We'll see if he

162
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: helps add all Jue Dollman ultimately was a guy that

163
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: the Falcons didn't want to keep even though there was

164
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: a competitive market for him. Like we'll see the history

165
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: of guys changing spots like they have to prove that.

166
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: But the rest of it, I went into it. I'm

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: into the continuity with pace. Let's score it. You cannot

168
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: score it, Colleen Jordan and I will and the producers

169
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: in the backs score.

170
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 6: This is just offseason.

171
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: This is just who do we think won the off

172
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: season on a one to ten basis? I think Colleen

173
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: made a really strong case.

174
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 8: Thank you.

175
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: I will announce my score first. It is an eight

176
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: point nine.

177
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 8: Got it? It's like a B plus.

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 7: Oh I am second, nine point two smiley face.

179
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 4: Okay, like that.

180
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: Like that, and then we are going to Eric and

181
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: the producers in the back for the final score.

182
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: Here, Eric, what do you got?

183
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean? Chris decided a seven?

184
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: Seven, A solid seven, okay, fine.

185
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: It's also it's also you went first, and you know,

186
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: maybe you don't want to set the bar too high.

187
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: Back there, Eric and the crew will be adding up

188
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: all the numbers to the determined who are the offseason champions.

189
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: We've come out strong.

190
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 7: I'm also writing down my personal grades to the left

191
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 7: on my whiteboard so that certain people don't try to

192
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 7: pull a fast one mid show.

193
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: Oh wow, And what changed the scores and change the dude,

194
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: that's terrible.

195
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: That's terrible.

196
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 8: Check in your work, watch out.

197
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: I'll go Vikings.

198
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: I'll go Vikings with my candidate as off season champions.

199
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 4: So there's going to be a lot of talk. I

200
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 4: have a feeling today.

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: We already started it with Caleb Williams of like supporting

202
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: the young quarterback. Like supporting the young quarterback. You know

203
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: what the best thing you can do is to support

204
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: a young quarterback. Take a couple of the guys from

205
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: one of the best offensive lines in the league in

206
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: the Aannapolis, and bring them together. They already know how

207
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: to work together, Will Fries and Ryan Kelly interior lineman.

208
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: After they signed Will Fries, we actually heard excuses from

209
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: all over the league. Seattle said, oh, we tried to

210
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: sign offensive line, but Will Fries he was too expensive

211
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: for us. The Giants were really in on Will Fries,

212
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: but they're like, hey, the price got too much. You

213
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: know who didn't care about price, Vikings. There's not too

214
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 3: much money you can spend on Will Fries. They also

215
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: in the first round took Donovan Jackson, who is really

216
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: like the last good interior offensive line.

217
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: So I like a vision.

218
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell at the end of the playoffs said, our

219
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: interior line needs to get better.

220
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 4: They did it. I think they did it better than

221
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 4: anyone else.

222
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 3: Then you flipped to the other side of the ball,

223
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: and you think this defense is already loaded. We don't

224
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: even need anything more on this defense. How about we

225
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: add more beef up front there too. We don't have

226
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: a lot of draft picks, so we get Javon Hargrave,

227
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: who a couple of years ago was the number one

228
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: free agent in the league on a discounted price. We

229
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: get Jonathan Allen, a former All Pro, to fit in,

230
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: and you're not asking him to be an All Pro.

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: You're asking him to fit in to a defense that

232
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: was arguably already the best in the entire league. While

233
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: other teams are like spending second round picks on running

234
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: backs first round picks, that's fine, Hey, let's just bring

235
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: in Jordan Mason for a very small price from San Francisco.

236
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: He's gonna be just as good as the second round picks,

237
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: I promise you.

238
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: Like, if there's not that big a difference between running backs,

239
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: we're good at running backs. And then finally, here's what

240
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: you don't want to do if you want to support

241
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: your young quarterback, and that's sign Aaron Rodgers. They stayed

242
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: away from signing the deal with the Devil, and they

243
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: supported JJ McCarthy in every way emotionally, physically, and then

244
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: of course in the room with all these big beefcakes

245
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: up front.

246
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: So the Minnesota Vikings, to me, they won the off season.

247
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 6: I think that's you make really good points.

248
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 7: Your last one especially is sound because you don't want

249
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 7: that sort of presence lurking over your shoulder the young player.

250
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 7: From everything I've read and heard about JJ McCarthy, it

251
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 7: is something that I believe he would have handled well

252
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 7: or relatively well, considering the context of what the situation

253
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 7: would have been in terms of his mental process and

254
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 7: his mental health process specifically big meditative guy. But I

255
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 7: will say the most important thing the Vikings could do

256
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 7: this offseason, after all of the sort of noise around

257
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers connecting with them and sort of his desire

258
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 7: to go to Minnesota was unearthed, was for the Vikings

259
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 7: to double and triple down with all the moves they

260
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 7: made in the draft and all of the things that

261
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 7: they kept doing in free agency to adamantly basically support

262
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 7: JJ McCarthy, not just with their words but also with

263
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 7: their actions and especially getting that interior line. I mean,

264
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 7: he is not a massive framed quarterback, so he can move,

265
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 7: but he does not a big framed quarterback, So having

266
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 7: that offensive line around him, particularly that interior of his

267
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 7: pocket upgraded from the disaster that it turned out to

268
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 7: be at the end of last season, I think will

269
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 7: be super important. And I am interested in seeing if

270
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 7: Kevin O'Connell is also going to build in more outlets

271
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 7: using a couple of their different weapons.

272
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 6: For JJ McCarthy.

273
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: Added a couple guys.

274
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: Ty Felton's a fun little third round pick a little

275
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: after the catch guy ron Dale Moore, I don't like

276
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: me some Rondale Moore and a wide receiver for role

277
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: like Brandon Powell used to have there.

278
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: Like they got a lot of weapons.

279
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I like the backfield like you mentioned bringing

280
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 5: back Aaron Jones and then adding Jordan Mason. That's going

281
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 5: to be great for JJ McCarthy as a young quarterback

282
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: to be able to lean on some semblance there of

283
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 5: a run game, especially with the upgraded offensive line. But really,

284
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 5: what did it for me is nobody likes fries and

285
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 5: beefcakes more than me.

286
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 8: This team has a lot of both.

287
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: A noted fry lover Colleen Wolf. All right, let's let's

288
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: put our scores out here. Colleen, you could subtract one

289
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: point from me because I kind of forgot that Aaron

290
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 3: Jones the most part of the offseason. I should have

291
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: mentioned that too, because he was a free agent. Let's

292
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 3: actually start in the back here, Eric and the crew.

293
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: What is your score?

294
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: We're going with eight?

295
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh, you'd like the no Aaron Rodgers of it all

296
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: back here audition by subtractioniate, I appreciate you scoring mine

297
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: higher than Colleen's.

298
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 4: I'm looking at you, Colleen.

299
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 5: I gave you initially an eight, but then when I

300
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: heard that they gave you an eight, I wanted to

301
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 5: do a little bit better.

302
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 7: So okay, right, and Jordan I did any Wow, eight

303
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 7: point seven. I would have gone even higher with the

304
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 7: Vikings off season, except the quarterback is still so unproven

305
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 7: and such an unknown variable.

306
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

307
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: But that was Yeah, he's there that they did everything

308
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: that they.

309
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 6: Could last off season.

310
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: That's last off season.

311
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, he was. That's when he got there.

312
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: If you want to knock them for their quarterback off season.

313
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: You could, Yeah, Sam Howell as a backup. He does

314
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: fill the role of not threatening to JJ McCarthy. He

315
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: also fills a role of like probably not winning a

316
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: lot of games for you if he does play.

317
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 7: All right, I'm interested with what Colleen thinks. So do

318
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 7: you know Steve from Stranger Things?

319
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: Yeah?

320
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 7: So me and Patrick were talking last show about how

321
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 7: JJ McCarthy looks just like Steve from Stranger Things.

322
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Holy Joe, I think you're right, Oh

323
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: my god, so much.

324
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 8: Right, that's what what.

325
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 7: Especial goal without his hat fishing a little bit right here,

326
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 7: especially without the hat.

327
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 6: The lettuce is like long and strong.

328
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: Really Yeah, a very hilarious young looking man, JJ McCarthy.

329
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: A lot of people's livelihoods in that cheng Lan. All right, Jordan,

330
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: you are up with your first contestant.

331
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 6: I'm going to start with the Arizona Cardinals.

332
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 7: For almost three hundred and sixty five days now, I've

333
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 7: been honking about the Arizona Cardinals, a team brimming with

334
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 7: ideas and possibility and all the joyful hubris of a

335
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 7: twenty two year old journalism grad sending dozens of resumes

336
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 7: off into what they don't know yet to be the void.

337
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 7: I have to believe that this is the year that

338
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 7: they put everything together after their off season. I believe

339
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 7: they think so too, and they have to or else

340
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 7: everyone could be gone. They're a rare team with actual

341
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 7: continuity at all their major coaching positions into their third

342
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 7: season with the first time head coach Jonathan Gannon defensive

343
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 7: coordinator Nick Ralis. They've been sort of orchestrating what equates

344
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 7: to me like mad scientists working out equations on a

345
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 7: whiteboard where they're trying to add different variables, different letters,

346
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 7: different symbols here and there, seeing what actually works, what

347
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 7: makes this defense actually go. And when you have a

348
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 7: roster as limited as it has been over the past

349
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 7: couple of years on that side of the.

350
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 6: Ball, that's where you have to also verify what you need.

351
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 7: And this offseason I think that they were super aggressive

352
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 7: in actually going out and getting what they need. They

353
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: also have continuity at quarterback, running back, actual continuity along

354
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 7: the offensive line, which is someone who was born and

355
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 7: raised in Phoenix is not something we could always say

356
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 7: in that town. High profile skill positions, and at offensive

357
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 7: coordinator of course, where Drew Petsing will return, and I

358
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 7: thought they were aggressive, like I said, in free agency,

359
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: with not just low risk backups and depth players like

360
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 7: Jacobe Brissett I think is quietly a great backup quarterback

361
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 7: for them to have brought in. But also they made

362
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 7: splashes like Josh Schwett on a four year deal, and

363
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 7: then they brought back core culture guy Kaleis Campbell, who

364
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 7: I mean beaming at his press conference being back him

365
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 7: in the valley.

366
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: I just I loved it so much. I love that

367
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 6: front line. I love their draft.

368
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 7: Walter Nolan, their first round pick defensive tackle, is a

369
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 7: total scheme fit, and I think that he represents the

370
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 7: next era of their defensive line rebuild, which is a

371
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 7: mixture of veterans and also really talented and ascending maybe

372
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 7: still a little bit under the radar players. So all

373
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 7: in all, I think this team has substance and they

374
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: have plenty of ideas, and I think they've been overlooked

375
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 7: because they've been less exciting than the rest of the

376
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 7: NFC West and they've self inflicted imploded a couple of times.

377
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 7: But they also even when they lack talent, they play

378
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 7: really hard and they're smart, and that's why. I think

379
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 7: that putting all the pieces together to match their ideas

380
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 7: that they clearly have showed is what wins them the offseason.

381
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 5: Well, their defense is absolutely going to make a huge jump. Also,

382
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: they brought in Dalvin Tomlinson too, but that defensive front,

383
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 5: all of the moves I absolutely loved. Joshua was the

384
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: best available edge rusher they got them. I feel like

385
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 5: I was one of the people that was overlooking the

386
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 5: team and now I'm reassessing things.

387
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 4: I look at like they're a good team.

388
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: Where if you look at their hour Lads depth chart,

389
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: there's just so much red and I don't know what

390
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 3: the other color is because I'm colorblind, maybe blue or something.

391
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 5: That's all the new starters.

392
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: I love what Will Johnson, you know, their second round pick,

393
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: who could have gone in the first round. UH said

394
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 3: this week that teams are going to pay. They're going

395
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: to pay for this UH for passing on him in

396
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: the draft. Arizona is getting a dog there, and I

397
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: totally agree that they were my favorite draft team in

398
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: terms of the talent that they added. And then you

399
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: also they also get to return like some of their

400
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: injured players. Bj Ojulari was a good player, a couple

401
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: of years ago. They're another year removed from injury for

402
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: their first round pick, Darius Roberson.

403
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 4: Sweat was a weird one.

404
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: There was some like talk about like maybe teams weren't

405
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: going in on him as much because of some like

406
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: long term injury concerns.

407
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 6: I don't get that, because, yeah, it would be Jonathana.

408
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 7: And then they extended Dray McBride, who is a franchise

409
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 7: pillar at this point and one of the most productive

410
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 7: players in the NFL. And you gotta love that in

411
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 7: combination with Marvin Harrison, and then really getting serious and

412
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 7: getting physical and getting ready to make sure that they

413
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 7: don't just fizzle out mid season. All of their moves

414
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 7: this offseason have pointed toward a team that is finally

415
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 7: actually aware of its potential and wants to meet it.

416
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 3: It's year three, It's go time. I like you're giving

417
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: them a little extra credit for how they've played. We're

418
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: trying to look at this in just the vacuum of

419
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: this off season.

420
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 6: Ideas have no season, But I'm with.

421
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: You that they are a team that like they didn't

422
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: quite have the personnel and now they did. Year three

423
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 3: of the program is the big year and I'm going

424
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: to get us going here.

425
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 4: I'm going big. I'm going nine point five.

426
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 6: Walter Nolan, bump right there. You like that I mentioned

427
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 6: your favorite player?

428
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: You love me that, Walter Nolan, and I love that secondary.

429
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: I think this is a team on the right. They

430
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: feel like off season championship worthy nine point one.

431
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 5: Wow, although I am slightly concerned that the Cardinals are

432
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: going to be your Indianapolis Colts, so just be careful.

433
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: For some reason, it been my entire life right. For

434
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: some reason, it.

435
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: Took me until now to realize, like, oh, Jordan's a

436
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 3: closet Cardinals fan.

437
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 4: I didn't.

438
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 8: Oh that's right, man.

439
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 3: I'm not such a professional and talks about the Rams

440
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: so much that.

441
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 6: I cover stories. I don't follow teams.

442
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: Eric, give us a final score here from the back.

443
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: I want to breakfast this that I'm in a room

444
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: back here with a Rams fan. Okay, several weeks ago. Okay,

445
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: so you have something for you win the division?

446
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 4: Okay.

447
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: So I go to him, Hey, what are we scoring this?

448
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: He said? Six guys?

449
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: He said, a team on the rise doesn't just give

450
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: him a score.

451
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: You just do whatever. Chris Babona says, you're the boss.

452
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 4: Back there.

453
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: I am not the boss. We are peers.

454
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: It's a collaboration, Greg, You're dead to me. Collaborations means

455
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 3: meeting in the middle man. I'm annoyed.

456
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 7: I brought you a patch from the Los Angeles Fire

457
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 7: Department Air Operations that is a RAMS patch, and this

458
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 7: is what you do.

459
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: That's what he did, he.

460
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 8: Before the show.

461
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 4: All right, we are halfway through nominations.

462
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: We are going to be back in just a second

463
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 3: on NFL Daily, a very special.

464
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 9: Episode back on, and the winner is China.

465
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: Determine our off season champion.

466
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: We can update our scoreboard and tell you two teams

467
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: that are not going to be off season champions. Sorry, Bears,

468
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: I was kind of surprised one of the favorites coming

469
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: into today bringing up the rear very close in the

470
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: scoreboard standings right now, but they have twenty four point

471
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: two total points, the Cardinals not going to be off

472
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: season champions twenty four point six points total, and the

473
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: Vikings right now in the lead at twenty five points.

474
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: But to discuss his decision controversy torpedo the Cardinals' champion

475
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: chip aspirations. Here, let's talk to Chris Bobono. You're a

476
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: rams fan that the Cardinals are the only team to

477
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: get scores over nine. They got it from two of

478
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: the judges and you gave them a six, and so

479
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: they're not going to be offseason champions.

480
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: Now.

481
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 10: I think the Cardinals are going to be fantastic. I

482
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 10: told Eric they might win the division next year, but

483
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 10: under like the constraints of it being the offseason. I

484
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 10: think what Jordan said, the continuity of the team, it's

485
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 10: good enough to put them over the edge. I thought

486
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 10: that their additions weren't necessarily to the level of some

487
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 10: of the other teams that we've seen, like the Bears.

488
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 10: The level of talent they added specifically in the offseason

489
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 10: might not be to par with the other teams.

490
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: So you're disrespecting Klais Campbell, You're disrespecting Josh Sweat who

491
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: got a lot of money. You're disrespecting our draft analysis,

492
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: and frankly, you're disrespecting Eric Roberts, who's produced the show

493
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: a lot longer than you have. And yet are you

494
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: losing any respect for him? That you said six? He

495
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: said nine, and then he just wrote down six.

496
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 4: What is that?

497
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 10: I don't Arizona fashion like John McCain, I don't mind

498
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 10: being the maverick having the Wow.

499
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 7: Hey Chris, I do have one question. Yeah, how dare you?

500
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 4: Yeah?

501
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: I kind of was hoping they would be off season championship,

502
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 3: you know, I was putting my finger on the scale there.

503
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: But no, Chris.

504
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 3: With the biggest setback since Colleen's dog took it on

505
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: her table or whatever a couple of weeks ago.

506
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 8: No, no, this was a couple of days ago.

507
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 4: I don't know why I'm swearing in this show. I

508
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 4: shouldn't be doing that.

509
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 8: It wasn't just what.

510
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 6: Happened again, I quickly speaking of.

511
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 5: I was on one of the days that I was

512
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: hosting GMFB. I left her home alone, and she previously

513
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 5: the day before had ripped a mirror off the wall

514
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 5: and shredded the jacket.

515
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 8: But like you know what, tros it owned her up.

516
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 5: So it was fine, got home an angel.

517
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 8: Nothing was out of place, everything.

518
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 5: Was perfect, And I'm praising her and I'm giving her treats.

519
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 8: I'm like, look at you, and then I go to grab.

520
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 5: The remote on the coffee table in a tray, and

521
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 5: next to the remote on this tray, she took a

522
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: sh like on.

523
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 8: The coffee table. Perfect placement.

524
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 5: I don't even understand how it's possible how she did this.

525
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 8: It felt personal.

526
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 7: I think she is an artist who is making a

527
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 7: profound state about the status of modern media and programming.

528
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 3: We could have just said poop, you went back to it.

529
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: I feel I feel self conscious because we have a

530
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: new producer, Quab in the back, who's going to be

531
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: helping out on the video side.

532
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: We're not usually like we're going blue.

533
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 3: All right, let's go around the room one more time

534
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 3: and let's start with Colleen again.

535
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 8: Oh okay, great, Hold on a second.

536
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: So, yes, the Minnesota Vikings right now have a chance

537
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: to be the off season champions. It's not going to happen,

538
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: but it's an honor to be nominated. Cardinals and Bears

539
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: your top six.

540
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: That's pretty good.

541
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 8: Okay. I don't want to say that the.

542
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 5: Commanders made a deal with the Devil, but there absolutely

543
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 5: is a Commander's fan down there right now because they

544
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 5: crushed the offseason after flipping an entire franchise and ending

545
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 5: up in the NFC Championship Game in one year. Now

546
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 5: they're here, Adam Peters and Dan Quinn. I don't know

547
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: what kind of like illuminati war room they're working in.

548
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 5: But I like it because of the disaster that was

549
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: left by Dan Snyder. This was a franchise that immediately

550
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 5: rose from the Ashes to become a contender with Jaden Daniels.

551
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 5: Now the offseason they built around him, and it's just

552
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 5: like the Bears is just like the Vikings are doing.

553
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: Like that's what teams do with young quarterbacks, especially while

554
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: they're on their rookie deals. But the Commanders were especially

555
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 5: aggressive about it. They traded for Laramie Tunsel, top tier

556
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 5: left tackle. Then they grabbed Deebo Samuel during the combine

557
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 5: that stole all of the headlines at Combine and had

558
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 5: everyone talking he can turn a five yard pass into

559
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: a fifty yard touchdown. And then just for good measure,

560
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 5: they use their first round pick on another bodyguard, another

561
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: offensive lineman, Josh Connerly. So that's on the offensive side

562
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 5: of things. Then on the defense, I feel like they

563
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 5: got a serious steal in the cornerback that they selected

564
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 5: in the second round, Trey Amos. He's a perfect fit

565
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 5: opposite Marshawn Lattimore and Mike sarn Reel. Still Saron Sandr's

566
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 5: still listen.

567
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 8: I don't say these names a lot.

568
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 7: I do like how you emphasize Reel in there, though,

569
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 7: because like that used your respect for this.

570
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: Man, real, real Mike Reel is holding it down all

571
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: right in the slot. So I think that that secondary

572
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 5: really will be a problem and that Mike Reel will

573
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 5: become a house name. But bottom line, I feel like

574
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 5: they're loaded. Their front office is moving in such a

575
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 5: fast paced direction, and I feel like they will within

576
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 5: the next five years be like probably at the top

577
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: of the division.

578
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 6: For me, two things are true about this ty years.

579
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 4: That's you know, maybe it's a long time.

580
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 8: I know, well, the Eagles are still really good.

581
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not very generous of you.

582
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, just statistically each team would win once every four years.

583
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: In the next decade, they could get a division title.

584
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 6: Bold.

585
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 7: Okay, So I love I love this team. You guys

586
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 7: know this. We had so much fun watching these guys

587
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 7: all year. I will say two things are true here.

588
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 7: While I like their offseason moves on paper, and I

589
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 7: do think that they clearly showed they believe they'll still

590
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 7: be a contending team because they of the way that

591
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 7: they approached free agency, a way that the way that

592
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 7: they're approaching team building, especially when they're limited with their

593
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 7: draft capital right now. I also don't totally love continuing

594
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 7: to add older players at the level that they have,

595
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 7: players that they were all over their defense last year.

596
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 7: There is continuity on that defense. We all know we

597
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 7: love the linebackers on that team. I think Trey Amos

598
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 7: was one of my favorite draft picks slash matches to

599
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 7: team in the entire draft because of how well he

600
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 7: fits there. But I don't love immediately have to flip

601
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 7: Josh Connerly over to the right side if he is

602
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 7: the heir. I can definitely see the vision there at

603
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 7: left tackle, but I don't necessarily love again going older

604
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 7: at the at pretty you know, on both sides of

605
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 7: the ball.

606
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 3: I feel like it was a high risk off season.

607
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: Laramie Tunzel great player, yeah, a guy that the Texans

608
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 3: wanted to get rid of on some level because of

609
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 3: culture and in Washington can can help with all that.

610
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 4: And then you mentioned the Connory pick was weird to me.

611
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: Deebo feels very boom or busty at this time of

612
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: his career. And I got to say, just the Javon

613
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: Kinlaw contract that they had in free agency was probably

614
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: my least favorite free agency contract. So when you started

615
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: this case, I'm like, I'm just going to bury her clip.

616
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to bury the commanders personal. Let me finish,

617
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: Let me finish.

618
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 6: Oh, Greg wants to finish a sentence.

619
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: You made such a good case that I'm going to

620
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: bump it up from two to four. Yeah, or maybe, actually,

621
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: now that I remember that you mispronounced Mike sant Russell,

622
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: actually I'm going.

623
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 8: To go three sandrsll. I just needed to hear it when.

624
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: I go three for the Washington Commanders, but it would

625
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: have been a one.

626
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: You just made such a great case. I bumped it up,

627
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 4: san Russell.

628
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 7: Okay, well, I actually think I bumped her up because

629
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 7: we did actually get a really great nickname out of

630
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 7: this process.

631
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 6: I gave her a six, Mike.

632
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 4: Really okay. I love giving her And it's not you.

633
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 6: That's goodding No, No, I'm giving the commanders.

634
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 8: That's all right, it's a command I can take it.

635
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 8: Are you saying that I can't handle it?

636
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 4: I mean you're built for this.

637
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 8: Coliana Grande is here for it.

638
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: Let's go to the back room and see what they're scoring.

639
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: Doesn't really matter.

640
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: Why they're giving her ten guys all the additions they got,

641
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: they got a new stadium, they got the draft, Like,

642
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: come on.

643
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 8: Oh my god, lunch on me, guys.

644
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: You just gave you gave Chris crap for torpedoing the Cardinals,

645
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: and you just torpedo the Commanders for no reason.

646
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't no reason. I just disagreed with the take.

647
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: But she did a good Jebb presenting it.

648
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: They got that draft, that's a total of nineteen.

649
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: Unfortunately I torpedo them right into last place in this exercise.

650
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: They will not be off season champ.

651
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 7: I think we all know what Greg's actual strategy is here.

652
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 7: You guys will learn about it in the coming presentation.

653
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: I want to hear next.

654
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going next. I'm gonna go rams. I've been

655
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: given high scores. You guys buried my bears, my bears

656
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: nine point.

657
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 8: Nine point two point nine. You know what, I kept

658
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 8: the receipts just for that.

659
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 6: No, this is exactly what we knew was gonna happen.

660
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: You presented the Bears, you didn't score them at all.

661
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: You don't know what you're talking about.

662
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: I'm doing the Rams just because someone should, and I

663
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: was surprised no one was gonna.

664
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: Take them month.

665
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: Okay, they have less players that they added, but when

666
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: you really look at big off season hauls, a lot

667
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: of the times, the teams that win the off season

668
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: are not the tea that add a ton of flashy

669
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 3: players because it ultimately doesn't usually work out. It's the

670
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: team that added one incredibly important piece and knew the

671
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 3: right pieces to hold on to. That's what the Rams did.

672
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams will be the most important player added from

673
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: another team in the entire NFL this offseason. Not only

674
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: is he a huge upgrade on where Cooper cup was. Sorry,

675
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to work out for Seattle.

676
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: I think there's a reason the Rams let him go.

677
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: I think DeVante Adams is exactly what this offense needs

678
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: and is still a top twenty receiver.

679
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 4: If he.

680
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: Was five years younger but played the exact way that

681
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: he plays, I think he would have gotten like seventy

682
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed.

683
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: I don't understand how they got Davante A. Adams in.

684
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: How the rest of the league let the Rams get

685
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: him in at that salary.

686
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: It's amazing. Matthew Stafford.

687
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: His contract details came out over the last week. They

688
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: didn't have to give him any guaranteed money into the

689
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: second year. He's only getting already only getting forty four

690
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: million dollars this year.

691
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: That's great for.

692
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 6: And four million of that was paid last year.

693
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: Right like normal people. That's good, But that's like the

694
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Gino Smith area a little less. That's the fifteenth highest

695
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: paid quarterback in the entire league. And not only did

696
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: they get them for that, but they're like, we're not

697
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: going to guarantee you any money next year, even though

698
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: the Raiders and the Giants are going to guarantee you

699
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: like ninety million dollars over two years. He's taken less

700
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: money to give them more flexibility so that they can

701
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: quietly keep their offensive line together. Alec Jackson was a

702
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: nice resigning considering what was out there. They got off

703
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 3: the Jonah Jackson contract. That was painful, but it was

704
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: a mistake, and they want to stop the run. They

705
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: bring in Punaford, But to me, it's more about those

706
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: two guys. It's a clear vision. It's DeVante Adams, it's

707
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford. It's building up such a good culture and

708
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: a coaching staff that Matthew Stafford even wants to stay

709
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: over getting more money elsewhere.

710
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 4: That is why they won the offseason.

711
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 7: The joining thread between both of those players that you

712
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 7: mentioned in you alluded to this was the recruitment and

713
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 7: the pursuit by Sean McVay of both players, Davante Adams.

714
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 7: You can read about this at the Athletic dot com expensively.

715
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 7: By the way, Davante Adams was in Japan with and

716
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 7: thought that his like phone was broken because he saw

717
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 7: he had gotten a video from Sean McVay that was

718
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 7: taking forever to load, and he was like, oh my gosh,

719
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 7: what could this possibly be? Is my phone broken? Restarted it, like,

720
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 7: updated everything whatever. No, the video was taking that long

721
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 7: because it was seven minutes long, and it was one

722
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 7: of two videos that Sean McVay sent him, narrating Davante

723
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 7: Adams highlights while holding his phone to a TV and

724
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 7: playing Davante Adams cut ups.

725
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 4: I gotta cut up the video a little bit though,

726
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 4: narrating and if.

727
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 8: Baldy breaked down, he had cut ups.

728
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 6: They were he had them made for this exact recruitment.

729
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 6: It was.

730
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 7: It was so interesting how he like, he was like,

731
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 7: I don't care how this looks. I'm going after this guy.

732
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 7: You know, and like he it was. So it's the

733
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 7: same thing with Matthew Stafford, getting him in a room,

734
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 7: sitting down talking about the short term and the long

735
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 7: term future.

736
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 6: After Matthew Stafford has two offers.

737
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 7: With huge amounts of guaranteed money on them from other teams,

738
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 7: getting him into a room at unhinged hour behavior five

739
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 7: point thirty in the morning, six thirty in the morning

740
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 7: on a Friday, and saying, Okay, this team wants to

741
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 7: win a super Bowl and laying out a plan of

742
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 7: how they're going to try to get this second super

743
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 7: Bowl with Matthew Stafford, solidify a Hall of Fame case,

744
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 7: solidify you know, all the things that come with that.

745
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 7: And I think that that's an important thing with his

746
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 7: head coach, who commands the belief to do it.

747
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and their top pick the tight end, Terence Ferguson.

748
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 5: He was the top tester at the tight end position

749
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 5: at the combine. And I feel like the poon Afford

750
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 5: replacing Bobby Wagner was a necessity and I like it.

751
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: I love that they addressed the poon Afford thin because

752
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: they needed a run stopper, and yeah, they've been wanting

753
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: that second tight end.

754
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 4: Thank you for helping me out.

755
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: Terrence Ferguson, I'm going to give myself a ten on that,

756
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 3: just because I think you're fired up. Self love is important,

757
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: but I'm not allowed to grade myself, So I'll start

758
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: with Colleen. Colleen, what is your score for the Rams?

759
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 8: A seven?

760
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 4: Okay, what do you got?

761
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 6: I want to hear why she gave them a seven.

762
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 5: Because I actually think the Cardinals had a better off season,

763
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 5: and I gave you a higher grade, so now I

764
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 5: have to go lower that.

765
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 6: I love that explanation.

766
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Jordan, Okay, I gave them a nine

767
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 7: point five.

768
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 6: Certainly no bias here.

769
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 3: I was going to say, you made a strong case

770
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 3: for them in support, so yeah, it's good to see that.

771
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 7: So but also the reason why I didn't give them

772
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 7: actually even higher because I thought they had the exact

773
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 7: off season that a team that thinks it's going for

774
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 7: a super Bowl this year has, including stocking future first

775
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 7: round picks that they may or may not even have

776
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 7: next season.

777
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 6: They may use it before the trade deadline.

778
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 8: To build up good let's need this is cooking.

779
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 6: Back to FM picks era.

780
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 7: They've sent the signal, so this is a worry for

781
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 7: me is the second, and they may add Jalen Ramsey still,

782
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 7: but the secondary is thin, and they've taken a strategy

783
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 7: of late of adding plug and play veterans and sort

784
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 7: of patching the outside the perimeters of the secondary together

785
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 7: and playing really talented young safeties in the middle of

786
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 7: the field and in the box, but then having sort

787
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 7: of like these patch and play vets on the outsides

788
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 7: that they think are assisted by their pass rush, which

789
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 7: sometimes can work and sometimes can really make you pay

790
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 7: so and it did at times last season when quarterbacks

791
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 7: could break contain and work out a structure against them.

792
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 7: So that's still an area that I'm concerned about with them.

793
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 7: They may change that before the summer is over. But

794
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 7: I gave them a nine point five.

795
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: All right, We are on the edge of our seats

796
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 3: here waiting to find out you have to get over

797
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: the top at twenty five. We're at sixteen point five

798
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: now using my brain, I think it needs to be

799
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 3: over eight point six to find out whether the Rams

800
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: could get into First, we're going to the producer room.

801
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 4: Oh what's the score here?

802
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 6: You already see it.

803
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: Ten guys, perfect ten, perfect ten, not the eleven that

804
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: Chris wanted to handle out.

805
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 8: Wow, what's going on back there?

806
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: No, this is I mean, it makes sense. This is

807
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: the only team you guys are talking Super Bowl with.

808
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: Then they thought they're one away from last year from

809
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: making you.

810
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: Know, clapping here you go, hold on, Wow, the Rams

811
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: into first place at twenty six point five because it's

812
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: being the headset off of Eric.

813
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like the signing dominancepector.

814
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 10: The pick swop and they're building a city in Woodland Hills,

815
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 10: like everything's going.

816
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 3: Okay, we're not going to give it off. Isn't giving

817
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: them any extra credit for building a facility? Okay, like

818
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 3: more than a decade after they moved here. What's taken

819
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: so long? You let the Chargers beat you at that?

820
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: All right, let's go, let's move on. Please ye too much?

821
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 7: I just want I'm next. So I just want to say, okay,

822
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 7: I just want to say I'm still going to be

823
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 7: the one that gets trolled, even though we have a

824
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 7: literal Rams homer behind the booths.

825
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: Right, although you did give them a nine point five.

826
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 6: I deserved a nine point five.

827
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 4: I agree.

828
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: Let's wrap things up and uh, let's do it with

829
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 3: Jordan Rodrick.

830
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 7: This team could actually at the end of the day

831
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 7: to take the lead, and I think they have among

832
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 7: the strongest cases of any team in the NFL, especially

833
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 7: relative to what last season looked like overall and how

834
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 7: much of a difference this offseason so far has made.

835
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 6: I have the New England.

836
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 7: Patriots to somewhat grivicingly present for your consideration, and yes,

837
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 7: I do believe, and this is why, as someone who

838
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 7: doesn't necessarily talk up the Patriots a lot, I happily

839
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 7: present them because the best move they could have possibly

840
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 7: made overall was hiring Mike Vrabel as their head coach.

841
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 7: That alone gives them a ton of points, because Mike

842
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 7: Rabel is also the type of coach who will be

843
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 7: seen and heard in every part of the building, bringing

844
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 7: a cohesion and also like getting adult decision makers in

845
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 7: every part of that building, including the front office. And

846
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 7: look no further than their off season as proof. It

847
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 7: is natural and normal that bad teams have to overspend

848
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 7: in free agency to get above average players to lift

849
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 7: the floor of their roster. So be it as long

850
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 7: as they also, and I want to emphasize this, also

851
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 7: nail the draft and compliment and it especially helps to

852
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 7: already have your quarterback figured out, which they do. New

853
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 7: England does owe a league leading one hundred and ninety

854
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 7: seven point eight million dollars in guaranteed money on contract

855
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 7: signed this offseason, including winning a few bidding wars in

856
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 7: Milton Williams and losing a couple of ones Chris Godwin, Coleman, Shelton.

857
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 7: And I'm not judging about that amount. Why because they

858
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 7: did nail the draft. I can actually see the vision

859
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 7: for every single pick, and especially with their first four picks,

860
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 7: how they specifically maximize the help outlets, protection and production

861
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 7: for quarterback.

862
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 6: Drake may Well.

863
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 7: Campbell, a top offensive lineman who literally said he's willing

864
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 7: to fight and die for his quarterback, though, is now

865
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 7: one of the sort of captain material young core players

866
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 7: on that roster. Treveon Henderson also a captain material core

867
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 7: player on that roster, a pass protection expert and a

868
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 7: great outlet for Drake Mae especially a great runner especially

869
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 7: outside the guards and in the passing game. Kyle Williams

870
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 7: one of the sneaky best receivers in this class. All

871
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 7: he does is get open. And Jared Wilson, who eventually

872
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 7: is going to take over for Garrett Bradburry if that

873
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 7: investment at center does not work out, and I could

874
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 7: see that happening sooner than later. My only question that

875
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 7: actually remains about this team is how they go about

876
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 7: sorting out all of the pieces that they added this offseason,

877
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 7: And also still a little bit of hesitation about Josh McDaniels, who,

878
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 7: outside of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, has question marks

879
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 7: about his communication, his style of coaching, and the way

880
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 7: that he can teach and communicate his offense. But here's

881
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 7: where I also think they won. Mike Vrabel set about

882
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 7: hiring a staff of people who are really solid teachers

883
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 7: and communicators, almost making up for the fact that he

884
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 7: understands he's self aware of how difficult that offense is

885
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 7: to pick up and understanding that in order to actually

886
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 7: build a functional group that lifts the entire floor of

887
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 7: this team together and raises the ceiling, they're going to

888
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 7: have to all be on the same page, from how

889
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 7: he hired a staff to who we added and who

890
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 7: all of this team. How this team is overhauling and

891
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 7: overturning in one off season. I think it is special,

892
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 7: and whether or not their record reflects it, at the

893
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 7: end of the year. It is a new day in

894
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 7: New England.

895
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 8: You should be a lawyer. That was beautiful, he really was.

896
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they win just off that they win off of

897
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 3: the most like people added, I mean that's usually it

898
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 3: kind of wins in terms of off season championships, and

899
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: then it usually doesn't look good in the end.

900
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 5: But I'm a little concerned about mac Hollins not wearing shoes.

901
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a problem.

902
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 6: Like they might have just it in Buffalo.

903
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: If you just counted like the news starters that they have,

904
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 3: it could be like nine, like Will Campbell, Garret Bradbury,

905
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: both of those might be below average starters.

906
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 6: Morgan, most you hate Will Campbell so much.

907
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 3: I'm just saying a rookie, how many rookie tackles have

908
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: been above average starters as rookie, He's a top five pick.

909
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 3: It's not too often. Sure, so was Neil and a Kanwu.

910
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: They were top ten picks a few years ago. I'm

911
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 3: just saying, as a you can't expect Garrett brad Barry

912
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: and Will Campbell to like be plus players necessaria. But

913
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: in terms of new starters, Campbell, Bradbury, Morgan, Moses Stefan

914
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 3: Diggs eventually Kyle Williams, maccollins, Ish, Milton Williams, Carlton, Davis, Roberts, Fulane,

915
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 3: Harrol Landry. It's a totally different team. So whether it does,

916
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 3: if you need it to be, it had to be

917
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: a totally different If you hit on five of those,

918
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 3: then I think you did well. The McDaniel's point is

919
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 3: a is a good one that he needs to show.

920
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 6: But I think there are enough people in that building

921
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 6: that make up for him.

922
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 3: I mean, he he also you know he had the

923
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 3: he had the Matt Castle season. You know, was he

924
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 3: still there? I don't remember. No, he was in Denver

925
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 3: at that time. All right, Colleen, let's go to your

926
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 3: score first.

927
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 8: Perfect even from the Russian judge.

928
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: Let's go to the back here, and Eric gives in

929
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 3: eight strong eight in interesting You get the coach right.

930
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: That's a big thing, guys.

931
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: You know what. I an interesting score there, Eric.

932
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 7: That's an honorable thing to do, because we know where

933
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 7: your allegiances lie in buff.

934
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 2: Maybe they're still going to finish like third in the division.

935
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 2: But it was.

936
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: As a subtweet, Chris, yes, because I think you know

937
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 3: now that it's down to the last vote here and

938
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: what they're.

939
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 6: At Oh shocking, they're in the New England Patriots.

940
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: They're at eighteen.

941
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: He's doing the meth.

942
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 4: I'm trying to do the mat I did it last

943
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: time too.

944
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 8: You're counting cards, But do you really.

945
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 4: Want to be off season championship?

946
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: I mean that might be like a scarlet letter a

947
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 3: little bit, you know for these New England Patriots. The

948
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: Rams are sitting at twenty six point five, and so

949
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 3: the Patriots would need what over eight point five to

950
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 3: be the official off season you.

951
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 8: Play to win the game champion.

952
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 6: R No, I know what you're doing.

953
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give them an eight point four nine. The

954
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 4: Rams are off season champions for gratulations.

955
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 6: Wow, Rag just wants my men s flooded.

956
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 4: With Oh no, I don't, no, I don't.

957
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they have the potential to win both the

958
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 5: off season and the season.

959
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: I you know, even though I'm having a little fun

960
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: there with the Patriots, if I was ranking these teams,

961
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 3: it is why I chose the Rams. Like I believe

962
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 3: in the Rams, and I would have put the Cardinals

963
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 3: and Bears maybe ahead of them too, But you know,

964
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: to each his own, they're all great candidates. Do we

965
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 3: have any honorable mentions.

966
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, this was so fun, by the way, congrat

967
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 7: love to all the contenders, Congrats to all.

968
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 4: The offers, the Rams.

969
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 8: This is yeah falling right now.

970
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 7: Whether or not everything completely implodes through whatever supernatural force exists,

971
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 7: it's going to be fun. Every year that I've covered

972
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 7: that team, it's either been a complete disaster or the

973
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 7: absolute highest of highs. And there's no in the middle.

974
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 7: And I call that the reverse Jeff Fisher. There's just

975
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 7: there's no middle space that they existed anymore. So my

976
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 7: honorable mention for off season champions. I love the Denver

977
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 7: Broncos off season. They were already a strong team. They

978
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 7: made their defense stronger. I just they were already such

979
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 7: a quiet threat to really watch. I love that they

980
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 7: added running back in the draft. I just think that

981
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 7: they are going to be a team to seriously watch

982
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 7: out for. And they're in such a tough division. I know,

983
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 7: but it just is going to be so much fun

984
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 7: watching how they continue to build off of a strong

985
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 7: first season. And I had so much fun watching that

986
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 7: defense last year. And I don't I said this on

987
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 7: the other show, like I don't know who the hell

988
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 7: opposing quarterbacks are going to throw at right. That entire secondary.

989
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 7: It's full of players you want to avoid. Now.

990
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 3: I love that their off season the Chiefs were the

991
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 3: hardest one for me to leave UF. I think they've

992
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: had an incredible offseason to get two potential left tackles

993
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: in an offseason where it's impossible to get it. I

994
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 3: like their backup quarter. I get like that they brought

995
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown. I think they quietly were awesome.

996
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 4: The Colts. If it wasn't for Daniel Jones, I would throw.

997
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 6: The Raiders were another honorable mention for the Jets.

998
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: I've liked in general with just the approach that they've had.

999
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 8: I like the Jets.

1000
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 5: Okay, Jack Collen and Travis Hunter doesn't even have to

1001
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 5: leave Jacksonville.

1002
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 8: It's like the first time that someone is happy to.

1003
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 6: Stay in a bold new era in Jacksonville and a.

1004
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: Bold new era on this show. The first ever off

1005
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 3: season championship surprisingly won by the Los Angeles Rams. I

1006
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 3: did not expect that coming into today.

1007
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 6: But yeah, what could go wrong?

1008
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 4: It's an off season of change. Yeah, maybe it is.

1009
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 3: They are the team of the ones that we talked

1010
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 3: about that I think has the best chance to go

1011
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 3: deep in the playoffs, So maybe it's good for the

1012
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 3: off season champion manners branding h to go with a

1013
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 3: team that we think could have some postseason championship as well.

1014
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 4: It really show that we were ahead of things. Okay,

1015
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1016
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,960

00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 6: don't give a shit.

1026
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 3: some collateral damage after the draft. Always loved having Patrick back.

1027
