Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Monday. Come on in,
Speaker 1: stay a while. Gang's all here, ready to go recapping
Speaker 1: the weekend best and worst to the weekend which you
Speaker 1: saw that you liked you didn't like. We'll dive into
Speaker 1: the John Morant topic. Coming up. We'll hear from the
Speaker 1: Memphis head coach on his star player out indefinitely, the
Speaker 1: NBA looking at things, Dan Orlovsky from the Mother's Ship.
Speaker 1: Is Anthony Richardson Worth the hype? And will a team
Speaker 1: trade up to get Anthony Richardson. Also, we'll head to
Speaker 1: Memphis with more on John Morant coming up a little
Speaker 1: bit later on as well. Operator Tyler sitting by eight

Speaker 1: Will the Bank's Family are back in a new season
Speaker 1: The hit Peacock original series bell Air stream it now
Speaker 1: new episodes Thursday only on Peacock. Speaking of bell Air
Speaker 1: and Will, Chris Rock had a live special on Netflix,
Speaker 1: whoa Louser's He waited? And it didn't go well for
Speaker 1: Will Smith, that's for sure. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: numbers are for Chris Rock. I know it was a
Speaker 1: two special forty million dollars I believe for Chris Rock
Speaker 1: on Netflix. So they got twenty million for that, So
Speaker 1: he should give Will a cut of that. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, without that, We're not tuning in for a
Speaker 1: Saturday night live performance by Chris Rock. But Chris did
Speaker 1: not mince words. It came at Will Smith. He certainly
Speaker 1: hit Will a lot harder than Will hit him. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say that pole question for hour or two Seaton.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I knew what pole question
Speaker 1: was an hour one we had up there a very
Speaker 1: lopsided pull. Dan Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson's record breaking combine
Speaker 1: performance means dot dot dot I'd actually submitted this one.
Speaker 1: He's destined to be great or relatively nothing. M okay,
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the audience right now say relatively nothing.
Speaker 1: All it takes is one team, the Raiders, to fall
Speaker 1: in love with him, and he'll be a top ten
Speaker 1: draft pick. Perhaps. Go back to September and I reached
Speaker 1: out to a source and he said, give me your
Speaker 1: your sense. And the response I got from my source
Speaker 1: was he'sminds me of Roethlisberger in size, and you know
Speaker 1: he can take on hits. But the ability to run
Speaker 1: at that height, you would say Cam Newton. But the
Speaker 1: comparison I got was Dante Colepepper, and Colepepper was probably
Speaker 1: two sixty five, like you know, maybe six four sixty five,
Speaker 1: two sixty five. I mean he was That's as large
Speaker 1: as anybody has ever been playing that quarterback, playing that
Speaker 1: position and doing it with athleticism. And then he blew
Speaker 1: out his knee and then that was the end of
Speaker 1: Dante Colepepper. But he played for the Vikings, had a
Speaker 1: couple of really good years. But Anthony Richardson certainly had
Speaker 1: all the measurables. I don't care about the measurables. I
Speaker 1: just want to know, can you play football? Because the
Speaker 1: NFL has been littered with draft picks of and that
Speaker 1: guy four four forty, that guy vertical thirty eight. That
Speaker 1: guy did an X number on two twenty five twenty reps.
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. I want to know what
Speaker 1: did you do in a game? And when I sit
Speaker 1: down with you, are you healthy? And if we talked football,
Speaker 1: do you love the game? Do you want to be great?
Speaker 1: Those are the things that I would start out with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how much do you think coaches look at, say a
Speaker 1: player like that and just see raw talent and think
Speaker 1: I can like, I can work with that, you know,
Speaker 1: and we can make him into a great football player.
Speaker 1: I think every coach has to have that mindset of, oh,
Speaker 1: he didn't work out for that guy, or they didn't
Speaker 1: take advantage of that guy. I will, like, you know,
Speaker 1: Sean Payton with Russell Wilson, Hey all prove that I
Speaker 1: can make that guy great. Or what's gonna happen with
Speaker 1: Justin Fields with the Bears, or somebody's gonna take Bryce
Speaker 1: young ago. See, I don't care how short he is,
Speaker 1: small he is, he knows how to play football. You
Speaker 1: have to have that mindset of I could make a
Speaker 1: difference with that guy. I could be the coach that
Speaker 1: unlocks that potential. Yeah, Paul, I can't remember it was
Speaker 1: Charles Davids or someone else. They were discussing Anthony richardson
Speaker 1: a Florida thing. What team makes sense because they didn't
Speaker 1: want to use the word project, prospect, all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff upside, but they mentioned that Detroit Lions. Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions got that high draft pick out of nowhere from
Speaker 1: the Rams. They don't need a quarterback this year to
Speaker 1: lead them. They have Jared Goff to lead them at
Speaker 1: least in the near future under contract. Considered a good player,
Speaker 1: a guy like anthy Ritt. This is what they were
Speaker 1: saying at the combine. Anthy Richards can absolutely sit a
Speaker 1: year and would not need to play one down. And
Speaker 1: that could be a franchise that has been searching for
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for years and they may have both. Well. I
Speaker 1: would suggest that he sat down for a little while,
Speaker 1: because he didn't do anything in Florida that was consistent
Speaker 1: enough for me to say he should be competing for
Speaker 1: a job. He had highlights. But this is where we
Speaker 1: get fooled when you go, oh my god, you see that,
Speaker 1: and then you realize what did he do the rest
Speaker 1: of the time. I saw Kentucky play Florida. And if
Speaker 1: you would have said both of those guys are going
Speaker 1: in the top ten, I'd be like, nope, nope, don't
Speaker 1: see it. And they probably are both those quarterbacks. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, there's been reports now that Will Levis maybe
Speaker 1: played through injuries this past season, bad toe, turf toe,
Speaker 1: maybe something with shoulder. I get it, but you know,
Speaker 1: watching them, I just didn't see anything where I went okay.
Speaker 1: And you can talk on arm strength and all of them,
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter to me. Can you put the ball
Speaker 1: where you need to put it? And that position is
Speaker 1: so much about anticipation, it's not you know, when you
Speaker 1: quarterback in college and if you're really good, you're going
Speaker 1: to complete sixty percent of your passes and probably have
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns. Anthony Richardson didn't even have twenty touchdowns and
Speaker 1: completed fifty four percent of his passes. That to me
Speaker 1: is a concern. Now it might be something where you
Speaker 1: tweak it or you know what he was doing or not.
Speaker 1: Do you know what. I'll save this because Dan Orlovski
Speaker 1: is going to join us coming up a little bit
Speaker 1: and I'll get his thoughts on all of this. Is
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson going to be worth all of the hype
Speaker 1: that's attached to him. All right. Poll question for our
Speaker 1: two Seaton is what we have another one here from Todd. Actually,
Speaker 1: that's kind of a fun one. I would wear the
Speaker 1: franchise tag as a badge of a badge of honor
Speaker 1: or a scarlet letter. M can be taken both ways.
Speaker 1: Do I want I don't want the franchise tag. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of money though it is, but I want
Speaker 1: to get a big contract. By not getting that big
Speaker 1: contract now it's they're saying, yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're worth that big contract there, so I would shy
Speaker 1: away from that. All right, we'll get phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: John Morant, we know the story led the Memphis Grizzlies
Speaker 1: number two seat in the West last year. He's an
Speaker 1: All Star and you could see maturity on the court,
Speaker 1: but certainly not off the court. And there had been
Speaker 1: there had been stories where it was alleged that he
Speaker 1: did something or the guys his boys around him did things.
Speaker 1: Now there's no alleging. We saw what happened his Instagram
Speaker 1: account where he's in a strip club in Denver and
Speaker 1: he's showing that he has a gun, only he's got
Speaker 1: his shirt off. It's pretty clear there, there's no alleging
Speaker 1: anything there. He had a gun, and then the NBA
Speaker 1: got involved. Now the NBA is still investigating. The source
Speaker 1: just told me about twenty minutes ago. The Grizzlies are
Speaker 1: not using the words suspend in their statement and that
Speaker 1: Jaw is agreeing with Memphis to step away from the
Speaker 1: team for a couple of games. The NBA is still investigating,
Speaker 1: So there's no suspension. It's he said I got to
Speaker 1: step away, so he's out indefinitely. Says he has to
Speaker 1: get a better understanding in the situation. But you start
Speaker 1: to wonder about this and what is he twenty three
Speaker 1: years of age and he was a story that we
Speaker 1: rooted for And I'm not using this platform to condemn him.
Speaker 1: Now if this happens again or something else, then we're
Speaker 1: going to condemn him. This should be a footnote in
Speaker 1: three years. This should be gosh when we talked to him,
Speaker 1: and then you say, you know who was that person
Speaker 1: three years ago? You know what I was trying to
Speaker 1: be something that I'm not. I grew up. You know,
Speaker 1: my parents were there, I have a sister. You know
Speaker 1: I nobody wanted me out of high school. I proved
Speaker 1: them wrong. I'm here, I'm one of the best players,
Speaker 1: like all of these things we should be talking positive about,
Speaker 1: but we don't with Memphis, and you're wondering, is there
Speaker 1: And I wondered about this when we had all of
Speaker 1: those incidents on the floor. Who is that veteran who
Speaker 1: can grab those guys and say listen to me? And
Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was Steven Adams. But you
Speaker 1: need somebody who's gonna say, guys, don't do this, don't
Speaker 1: be that, that's not who you are. And you know
Speaker 1: John's dad is omnipresent, but I don't know if his
Speaker 1: dad went from being his dad to getting caught up
Speaker 1: in all of this. I mean, LaVar Ball, he got
Speaker 1: caught up and he wants to be the star and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on first take and interview me and
Speaker 1: it's about me and not that his kids have been
Speaker 1: in trouble except for one Langelo got caught for shoplifting
Speaker 1: at UCLA. But you know, you gotta have somebody who says,
Speaker 1: or if he doesn't understand it, now you've got a
Speaker 1: bigger issue here. But somebody who just says, look, be
Speaker 1: who we think you are, who you should be he
Speaker 1: should be the future of the NBA. Fabulous, fabulous talent.
Speaker 1: But if you think you're something, and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to put all of this on his boys, that'd be
Speaker 1: easy to do. It starts with him and mom and dad.
Speaker 1: You got a half a billion dollars waiting for you.
Speaker 1: You do. You got a shoe coming out April first, Nike.
Speaker 1: He's putting that out. You gotta everything you need, you
Speaker 1: got the city. You're a good team. You're you're a
Speaker 1: cockey team that hadn't accomplished anything. But we've discussed that before.
Speaker 1: But be a story that we talk about that you
Speaker 1: root for John Morant. That's what you want. You root
Speaker 1: for these stories. Nobody wanted him. They saw him accidentally
Speaker 1: that a basketball workout, and then he got a scholarship,
Speaker 1: and then he was a curiosity. Well that size and
Speaker 1: he can't shoot. Can he be a star? And he
Speaker 1: can be a star. Those are the positives. But if
Speaker 1: you're doing these knucklehead things, you still have time. Don't
Speaker 1: be the cautionary tale where somebody says, years from now,
Speaker 1: don't be like John Morant. Here's a John Morant's head
Speaker 1: coach Taylor Jenkins on John Morant, Well, I think he understands,
Speaker 1: you know, he's made some difficult decisions and poor choices
Speaker 1: in the past that he's got to account for. And
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, you see in a statement, it
Speaker 1: speaks for itself that he understands he's got to get
Speaker 1: helped to get into a better place, not just for himself,
Speaker 1: but also for his team. And you know, he's definitely embracing,
Speaker 1: you know, the mistakes that he's made. But only time
Speaker 1: will tell. We're gonna support him, as I said, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold him accountable to make those changes. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is that he's seeking, other than hey,
Speaker 1: just stop being stupid. Stop thinking that you know, people
Speaker 1: aren't looking at you. Everybody's watching you. And you go
Speaker 1: on Instagram and then you flash a gun. If you
Speaker 1: carry a gun, it's different than when you flash a gun,
Speaker 1: because if you flash a gun, you can get killed
Speaker 1: carrying a gun. People do it all the time. If
Speaker 1: you flash a gun and somebody takes that the wrong way,
Speaker 1: they don't care who you are. Yeah, Paul. One of
Speaker 1: the reasons the NBA is involved and there could be
Speaker 1: some issues for John rand his section nine of their
Speaker 1: rules with obsessing a firearm. A player is not allowed
Speaker 1: to possess a firearm while traveling on any NBA related business,
Speaker 1: whether on behalf of the team, NBA leave retated related entity.
Speaker 1: He was traveling to a game. Now, he wasn't at
Speaker 1: the game or at a facility during this post. But
Speaker 1: that's some dicey language because he was on a work trip,
Speaker 1: as they may say. So that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 1: A couple of people, like Bobby Mark's VSPN said this
Speaker 1: could be very interesting what the NBA does here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you need to have a gun to go
Speaker 1: to a strip club, don't go to a strip club
Speaker 1: or hire security. Did he have a gun when he
Speaker 1: was on the charter? I guess you could do it.
Speaker 1: The rules are pretty lax when you're doing private or
Speaker 1: did he get to Denver and somebody said, hey, you
Speaker 1: got to strap up here, we're going to a strip club. Like,
Speaker 1: does anybody say to him, gotta you know what? He's
Speaker 1: jeopardizing a lot here? Yeah? More is it hard when
Speaker 1: you become the breadwinner and no one is really in
Speaker 1: a position it's tell you what to do? Could be
Speaker 1: the case, absolutely, because what happens is you have. Yes, man,
Speaker 1: it's rare when somebody goes, I'm gonna play drug devil's advocate,
Speaker 1: you know what. Let's not, Hey, don't do that. Let's now.
Speaker 1: You might not be in the inner circle very long,
Speaker 1: but if you really care about John Morant, then you'll
Speaker 1: protect him from himself doing stupid things. Yes. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the thought of having the gun. But
Speaker 1: if you're going to do that, you just have to
Speaker 1: be more responsible with it. It's not it's not a prop,
Speaker 1: you know, for you to show off and and maybe
Speaker 1: at home it's you know, it's his and it's registered.
Speaker 1: It could be, but you're on the road and you
Speaker 1: gotta have a gun. We'll check in with the Grizzlies
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on when we come
Speaker 1: back as Anthony Richardson worth all the hype because it
Speaker 1: certainly feels that way. And once again, all takes is
Speaker 1: one team, one team to say that's our guy, that's
Speaker 1: the quarterback we want. We'll let him sit for a
Speaker 1: year or two. Dan Orlovski will join us on loan
Speaker 1: from the Mother's ship. More phone calls as well, Best
Speaker 1: and worst to the weekend. We'll give you hours coming

Speaker 1: you you gotta you can't stay here, um, something about
Speaker 1: can't go home, but you can't stay here. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think Stuart would have that with a cold third strike. Yeah.

Speaker 1: that was one of our favorite. Yeah, we'll get phone

Speaker 1: have Derek Carr breaking news sources? No? No, let's play

Speaker 1: Carr could be headed? Yes? Okay, let's play the Derek
Speaker 1: Carr is going to Todd. I'll start with you Saints,
Speaker 1: Marvin Carolina Panthers, all right, Paulie, Oh, Marv, just throw
Speaker 1: a curveball at me. Saints. I'm gonna go Saints as well,
Speaker 1: Seetan O'Connor. This team has emerged as a front runner. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: an agreement could be reached as early as today. Okay,
Speaker 1: not earlier than today, not earlier than today, but maybe
Speaker 1: as soon as today. Okay. And the words closing in
Speaker 1: on a closing in your New Orleans Saints. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I talked to u NFL scout and said,
Speaker 1: if I'm Derek Carr, I would take the easy way
Speaker 1: out and go to the NFC South and not go
Speaker 1: to the Jets. And I go, yeah, but if you
Speaker 1: win with the Jets, he goes, You're not gonna He's
Speaker 1: not gonna win with the Jets right away, yeah, Paul
Speaker 1: best starting quarterback today in the NFC South would be
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter with the Falcons, Derek Carr with the Saints,
Speaker 1: the Panthers, I guess it's it's technical, Sam Arnold still yeah,
Speaker 1: or the tam Bay Buccaneers with Kyle Trash. Derek Carr
Speaker 1: maybe the best quarterback in his conference. Oh he is instantaneously,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah. But if he had gone to
Speaker 1: the Jets, so he could be a first Battle Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame according to the Jets. All right, so he's
Speaker 1: they're they're closing in on on Derek Carr with the
Speaker 1: sake as earliest today, But there was a report earlier
Speaker 1: where he's leaning towards the Jets. Is that right? Or
Speaker 1: were the Jets leaning towards him? I can't get he's
Speaker 1: leaning away from the Jets. Didn't he Todd is Dan
Speaker 1: Orlomsky gonna join us? He is? We should be hearing
Speaker 1: from him in the next few minutes or so, Okay,
Speaker 1: I guess And he left where he had it was
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, justin Herbert and now look yeah,
Speaker 1: hey the offense. Yeah, he looks around. He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: the man in the NFC seal my conference. Yeah, who's
Speaker 1: the man? I'm the man? Yeah. Stat of the Day
Speaker 1: broad Tuba in the America the official trading cards the
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show mentioned earlier. Eighteen players have scored scored
Speaker 1: thirty or more points on Sunday, the most thirty point
Speaker 1: games in one day in NBA history, breaking a record
Speaker 1: that stood for a long long time. It was set
Speaker 1: last month, and uh, it feels like, come on down.
Speaker 1: Everybody gets thirty at least. And I can't can't blame
Speaker 1: all of this on the Houston Rockets or the San
Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs because they're usually coughing up. Certainly the Rockets
Speaker 1: a big game. All right, we'll talk to Orlovsky coming up,
Speaker 1: Sean and Florida while we wait. Best and Worst of
Speaker 1: the weekend Sean, Hey, good afternoon, Dan and Dan. That's
Speaker 1: six five, one eighty five. Just a shout out real
Speaker 1: quick to good. Good month to be a Florida quarterback.
Speaker 1: Kyle Trash is going to take over the NFC South.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Best and Best of the weekend all wrapped
Speaker 1: around a little hate of Draymond Green. But Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: went off for thirty nine on him. The average is
Speaker 1: a double double against Draymond Green because Draymond's trash. And then, uh,
Speaker 1: Chris Rock and the Special also made fun of Draymond
Speaker 1: So I thought that was great, all right, thank you, Sean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there's a few people who aren't afraid of
Speaker 1: Draymond Green. I mean, Russell Westbrook's not going to take
Speaker 1: a jumper, But Draymond's not locking people down. Hasn't locked
Speaker 1: people down in a while. Joe and Myrtle beach. Hi, Joe,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? First time? Long time? Five ten,
Speaker 1: one seventy five. I'm gonna share my I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: worse than best worst of the weekend. I got him
Speaker 1: sect to me end of the last week, best of
Speaker 1: the weekend of opened a twenty four waymon. How was
Speaker 1: the process of getting a best sect to me? You know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't too bad. One day of ice restaurant recovery,
Speaker 1: didn't keep kept the kids off of me. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: But another process went well. It was a state of
Speaker 1: wake for it, had good conversations with the doctor. Was
Speaker 1: kind of unsure if I should be looking at him
Speaker 1: in the eyes or not. Um. But they they numb you. Ah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like uh it's I mean, it's like getting a
Speaker 1: shine yarm, but it's in a little different sensitive area.
Speaker 1: When when can you resume relations? Uh? This is a
Speaker 1: dumb part, is they they say nothing more than ten
Speaker 1: pounds for seven to fourteen days. But hey, get back
Speaker 1: on the train after five Okay, all right. Uh, your best?
Speaker 1: Your best for the weekend was what but I opened
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour amusement park in Myrtle Beach. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um. I think the only person that's a lot
Speaker 1: to come as my wife. But um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think Tyler took my call. He ask if you could
Speaker 1: join next time he comes to Myrtle. I think he's
Speaker 1: got to sign a waiver too, right, Joe, are you
Speaker 1: still under medication? No, not on the medication anymore. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I just wanted to make sure there. But
Speaker 1: good luck there, Joe. Sounds like the light going on there.
Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky of the Mothership ESPN Football Analysts, you can
Speaker 1: watch him on NFL Live week days. It for like
Speaker 1: a smooth segue from a vast sect to me to
Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky, who joins us on the program? Who has
Speaker 1: Who has a lot of kids? Dan, good morning? Also
Speaker 1: a vasecto me, I do have a lot of kids.
Speaker 1: Oh you did do a vast sectomy. Yeah, funny story, Dan,
Speaker 1: So good morning. Great to be with you. We had
Speaker 1: we have my wife and I have triplet sons. They're
Speaker 1: eleven right now, so we have three boys. We had
Speaker 1: the three boys we had gotten to like they were
Speaker 1: three and a half years old, just about you could
Speaker 1: imagine having triplets three and a half years what that
Speaker 1: span of time was like. We had just like traveled
Speaker 1: with them and done it easily. They had just become
Speaker 1: like a lot of diapers all that stuff, and I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, we ate it. And my wife and
Speaker 1: I had kind of agreed, all right, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: have another kid because our big fear was a fourth boy.
Speaker 1: And then you're always the boy of the triplets. You're
Speaker 1: the brother of the triplets. And um, I had a
Speaker 1: vasectomy planned. We went on a trip to Napo with friends.
Speaker 1: I had a second planned for the week after. On
Speaker 1: the play right home, my wife's like, I don't feel good.
Speaker 1: I jokingly go, I got you're pregnant. You know, long
Speaker 1: story short, she was pregnant, and so the v sectim
Speaker 1: got delayed a year, but I finally got it done,
Speaker 1: a very potent dan Orlovsky joining us on the program m,
Speaker 1: speaking of which Anthony Richardson certainly came away as the
Speaker 1: combine darling. Here. I always getting nervous when we have
Speaker 1: these combine darlings. Here we fall in love with numbers here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you? Are you all in on Anthony Richardson? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I have been, honestly since the first game of his
Speaker 1: that I called in college football, Dan Like I called
Speaker 1: one of his first games college football at Florida, and
Speaker 1: I just remember being on air going, why is he
Speaker 1: not the starting quarterback? Yes? You know, and these coaches
Speaker 1: like Dan mull and I have a tremendous amount of
Speaker 1: respect for with the with the transfer stuff that goes on.
Speaker 1: In the end, it's such a delicate balance of trying
Speaker 1: to what quarterback. It's no longer just play the best,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like these they got a massage all
Speaker 1: these situations so much so, but every game I called
Speaker 1: of his, I was always just like, this kid is
Speaker 1: so super talented. And then the more you heard about him,
Speaker 1: how intelligent he is, how hard he works, the character,
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and I just think of kind of
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback in the draft. We know is you know,
Speaker 1: good luck roll the dice type of thing. If you're
Speaker 1: rolling the dice, if you're taking your chance. You're big,
Speaker 1: you're fast, you're strong, you're powerful, you're a natural thrower,
Speaker 1: you have great intelligence, you work really hard, You've got
Speaker 1: good leadership, skills and good character. Where where is the
Speaker 1: glaring Oh my gosh, he might fail, and I would
Speaker 1: I would say this about him. Everyone talks about the
Speaker 1: completion percentage, right fifty three if we broke it down.
Speaker 1: I did this for Josh Allen when he's coming out,
Speaker 1: because I thought that was a crock of crap as well,
Speaker 1: this is like two more completions a game. He's at
Speaker 1: like sixty one percent completion percentage. Two completions a game,
Speaker 1: we're talking a throwaway. We're talking to miss check down.
Speaker 1: We're not talking these glaring issues at least I don't see.
Speaker 1: And while I understand the combine pause on the numbers,
Speaker 1: we can't take it for granted either. I mean, what
Speaker 1: he is is incredibly talented. Okay, but you say this
Speaker 1: and you're you're gonna look at Josh Allen, But you're
Speaker 1: also using the same kind of comparison with Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson plays for Florida in the SEC and Josh
Speaker 1: Allen lost all of his receivers there that last year
Speaker 1: when he was at Wyoming, So I can't I can't
Speaker 1: buy into those comparisons between the two. Laurida had very
Speaker 1: little talent this year. I mean, I'm not, Well, they
Speaker 1: didn't have Wyoming talent. They had better talent than Wyoming did.
Speaker 1: Josh lost his receivers after his junior year. There it was,
Speaker 1: but but I mean, this is a kid who won
Speaker 1: new coaching staff with Billy Napier two, so he's learning
Speaker 1: a new system to their number one receiver was I
Speaker 1: think he was the transfer from Arizona State. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna go play in the NFL unlikely. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think he has a single offensive I don't think
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson had a single offensive player skill wise outside
Speaker 1: of Etn's little brother that is going to be an
Speaker 1: NFL player. Well, we know Josh Allen didn't have that, correct,
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen wasn't playing against Tennessee and Alabama and Georgia,
Speaker 1: and I mean Josh Allen wasn't playing against those guys either.
Speaker 1: So that's my like, that's well, I understand that we're talking,
Speaker 1: you know, like having very little help in the SEC Conference. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you see his player comp is Josh Allen. That's
Speaker 1: for me, yes, because that's where I think the path is,
Speaker 1: Like that's where every and I think Josh. Well, what
Speaker 1: I liked about Josh coming out of school was Josh
Speaker 1: was a very loose thrower, like it wasn't tight. That's
Speaker 1: why I keep saying, he's a very natural thrower, like
Speaker 1: you know a Daniel watching guy pick up a ball
Speaker 1: and throw. Yeah, he was born to do that. I
Speaker 1: think Anthony has that natural throwing motion. Okay, who takes him?
Speaker 1: Who should take him? If you were advising, you would
Speaker 1: say this team take him. Yeah, I'll give you three.
Speaker 1: I think Indy, Houston and Carolina should very much so
Speaker 1: be entertaining it taking him Dan. I said this this morning,
Speaker 1: and get up. If you're an AFC team and you
Speaker 1: don't have a really, really, really good quarterback, what are
Speaker 1: your chance is in the next eight years with Patrick, Josh, Joe, Justin, Herbert,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I mean, what are your chances with those
Speaker 1: teams you got? Those are five? I'm not even putting
Speaker 1: too what two will becomes war situation. So if you're
Speaker 1: if you're Indian, you're Houston, you're sitting there going if
Speaker 1: we don't have a really good player that is physically
Speaker 1: talented and can go tote tote those guys, what are
Speaker 1: our chances no matter what our roster is. And then Carolina,
Speaker 1: just because I think I could put any of these
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in Carolina, Dan. I just think it's a tremendous situation.
Speaker 1: It's the best situation for a rookie quarterback to go
Speaker 1: into this year. So I could put any guy at
Speaker 1: that spot. Would you take Richardson over Bryce Young? I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: If I was the general manager, I wouldn't. I think
Speaker 1: Bryce is a uniquely skilled player that has all the
Speaker 1: attributes that you look for, Like I think Bryce. The
Speaker 1: only way Bryce does didn't become a very good pro
Speaker 1: is because he can't can't hold up. And that's a
Speaker 1: real thing for people, like they're gonna they're gonna say, yes,
Speaker 1: we're okay with it or no we're not. And I
Speaker 1: understand that if you're in the no I'm not camp.
Speaker 1: If you're not okay with his size, then you probably
Speaker 1: take Anthony if you're okay with this size, because his
Speaker 1: tape is the best and most impressive tape since Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow's tape in college. He's the guy that does the
Speaker 1: most stuff. You go, that's what it looks like since Joe.
Speaker 1: But are you a believer in product of your environment
Speaker 1: that you're gonna can Can he hold up in Chicago
Speaker 1: or would he better be better served playing half of
Speaker 1: his game indoors in Houston or Indie. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think any quarterback is better served than indoors, you know,
Speaker 1: I think so. I definitely would say that, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: probably the benefit. And like, here's the big challenge for you,
Speaker 1: more than the weather, Dan is if you're an organization
Speaker 1: and that you think you can draft to develop good
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, then you're in a good place because you're
Speaker 1: gonna keep him clean. And just I've said this, go
Speaker 1: watch his Texas game. Just go watch that game. Go
Speaker 1: watch the Tennessee game, and watch how much he operates
Speaker 1: in like very small spaces and count the amount of
Speaker 1: big hits he takes in those games. I understand it's
Speaker 1: the different level in the NFL. I get all that,
Speaker 1: but just watch him move and it's almost the Lamar
Speaker 1: conversation a little bit. At Lamar doesn't take massive shots
Speaker 1: because of his short space, just feel and awareness. Rice
Speaker 1: has got that as well. I don't think he has
Speaker 1: to play inside, but I think it's a benefit. Sure,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr in the Saints, it looks like that could
Speaker 1: be close to happening. Your thoughts about that, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: always felt like the news from this morning of the
Speaker 1: Derek car leaning towards the Jets was a Jets kind
Speaker 1: of gamesmanship thing. Hey, Aaron, we need a decision here
Speaker 1: to get the ball rolling on this. I think Derek's
Speaker 1: a good player the same. Do you think the judge
Speaker 1: were playing They were trying to toy with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go, we need we need the time is of
Speaker 1: the essency. Okay, That's what I thought. It was a
Speaker 1: games and the ship play because it just seemed that
Speaker 1: they were attached to Aaron forever, and I knew Derek,
Speaker 1: you know, wanted to get a decision done. Um, the Saints,
Speaker 1: I think up the last week, and that might it
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a different number because
Speaker 1: I think they have reworked and contracts were fifty five
Speaker 1: million dollars over the cap. So while yes, I like
Speaker 1: Derek's fit there, what does the team look like because
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get rid of somebody or move
Speaker 1: money around somehow to fit his deal under there. So
Speaker 1: I just want to see what the makeup of the
Speaker 1: team is before sitting there and totally making a proclamation.
Speaker 1: But yes, the initial starting point is really good spot,
Speaker 1: very young offensive line in some spots that has talented.
Speaker 1: Alave is a superstar, So there's initially the like of
Speaker 1: that fit for sure. Yeah, I get it. And you're
Speaker 1: going to the NFC South where he's immediately the best
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFC South. Totally, that's not saying too much.
Speaker 1: Will Levis was talking a good game. He's got a
Speaker 1: cannon for an arm and he couldn't wait to show
Speaker 1: it off. Did you come away and pressed? I expected
Speaker 1: Will to throw it really well. The only thing that
Speaker 1: I get with Will is this, and I like Will.
Speaker 1: I talk to Will. He's obviously a Connecticut kid. I'm
Speaker 1: rooting for him, you know, Like, and I said this
Speaker 1: on the shows last week. I would play a couple
Speaker 1: specific clips of his game from last year, Like there's
Speaker 1: a clip where he misses some throws in my naked eye.
Speaker 1: When you watch, you're like, man, that's a bad miss.
Speaker 1: And I would want to play the play for him
Speaker 1: and just say, hey, tell me about what happened on
Speaker 1: this play. And I think you'll gather so much information
Speaker 1: from how does he see the field, What is he
Speaker 1: looking at? What is he being taught? How does he
Speaker 1: process information? Does he throw his receivers under the bus?
Speaker 1: Does he throw his coaching under the bus. Because there's
Speaker 1: some misses on tape where you go that looks weird
Speaker 1: and I want to know why that ended up looking
Speaker 1: that way? Um, And then I think you know for
Speaker 1: a guy that he's the a little bit different or
Speaker 1: like the contrast of the Anthony Richardson for me, because
Speaker 1: Anthony for six four, two forties loose, that's it's kind
Speaker 1: of Josh again. Like for as muscular as he is,
Speaker 1: he's loose. Will's a little bit stiffer. He's a little
Speaker 1: bit stockier, and I think you know that messes with
Speaker 1: his lower half and upper half being connected and rhythmic.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to work really hard to gain rhythm
Speaker 1: in his passing game. Super talented and can throw it
Speaker 1: with anybody. I just think you wanted to grow with
Speaker 1: the rhythm of the pass. Always good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the best sect of me. Thanks man, got
Speaker 1: it done. Played basketball the next morning? Did yeah? Just tough.
Speaker 1: Connecticut kids are tough, you know. I told Lewis Riddick
Speaker 1: about you with your forty yard dash. He did not
Speaker 1: know that you cheated to make yourself seem faster when
Speaker 1: you were recruited by Yukon. Lewis barely talked to me
Speaker 1: in Indie last week at the combines, so that's probably
Speaker 1: well his combine numbers. I think he ran a four
Speaker 1: seven forty Lewis. Yeah, at the combine. That's pretty good
Speaker 1: for a safety, right. I don't know. He's embarrassed by it.
Speaker 1: He was like, do not do not bring that up.
Speaker 1: Cut a leg off for four seven. But what did
Speaker 1: you run when you made it a thirty seven yard dash?
Speaker 1: I ran that day. I ran four eight combine and
Speaker 1: then at the combine they just did at this run,
Speaker 1: I ran four nine, I said, I told green I said, Greeny,
Speaker 1: that was like twelve years of wearing jump souls to
Speaker 1: school ankle weights, running with a parachute on my back
Speaker 1: just to get to four nine. So wait, you ran
Speaker 1: a four nine and Lewis Riddick ran a four seven two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Lewis is like twenty five years older than me.
Speaker 1: That's twenty five maybe fifteen. Sorry sorry, Lou, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: his time when he ran it, and when you ran
Speaker 1: it I mean it doesn't matter. You still ran a
Speaker 1: forty are done? You know. Basically what we're getting to
Speaker 1: is Lewis was not that fast, much faster than me. Yes, man,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna fly with Lewis that much. But you
Speaker 1: know what is so bizarre? Mina Kimes ran a four
Speaker 1: to six to four. There's no way. Yeah, she stirs unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she bench past two twenty five thirteen times and add
Speaker 1: a vertical thirty four. I mean we make fun of
Speaker 1: me all the time because she's liked, guys. I was
Speaker 1: such a good varsity soccer player, Like, yeah, good to
Speaker 1: talk to you. Thank you, budd, You're the best budd.

Speaker 1: all right? Derek Carr update. Looks like he's leaning towards
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Seems like there are a couple of reports
Speaker 1: now with Derek Carr. I'm curious about the contracts status here.
Speaker 1: How many years is he going to sign for with Orleans?
Speaker 1: What's he gonna make an average per year? They were
Speaker 1: kind him in a salary cap hell, but I'm guessing
Speaker 1: a four year deal for Derek Carr. Let's see if
Speaker 1: I go, let me do the math. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: do the Derek Carr. How much does his contract works? Yes,
Speaker 1: total value of Derek Carr's contract. Multiple reports, Ian Rapport
Speaker 1: and others that he is signing a contract today with
Speaker 1: the Saints for four years. Okay, total value of a
Speaker 1: four year contract. I'll go first. Okay, I'll go one one,
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty four million. That's a mcglove, that's
Speaker 1: a mcleve all right, Tod, how about you one sixty
Speaker 1: nine five Seaton O'Connor slightly higher at one eighty all right, Marvin,
Speaker 1: four years, one fifty who seaton one only up to
Speaker 1: forty five a year? Yeah that's the market then, well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's the market. That's what the market demands. I like
Speaker 1: Marm's four for one fifty. I like it a little
Speaker 1: over thirty five million dollars a year. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: one forty nine five, four years, one forty nine five. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 1: Every article I read is that the Saints are not
Speaker 1: in good shape cap wise and not at all and
Speaker 1: could not afford to blot blow one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: million out a quarterback. I don't know how they're gonna
Speaker 1: do this. That would be I should have looked that
Speaker 1: up before I made me a guess. Well, Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: is he gonna even be there? Boy? I mean god,
Speaker 1: it seems like it was a long long time ago
Speaker 1: he put up those big numbers when he had put
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty catches. Let me get Michael in
Speaker 1: Vegas in here, Hey, Mike, what's on your mind? Thanks
Speaker 1: for holding definitely, good morning, mister Patrick. People would be here,
Speaker 1: Thank you, hear you, guys. I called in to discuss
Speaker 1: Anthony Richard sin Obviously we've seen that he has the
Speaker 1: physical gifts of Cam Newton, maybe even better. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: on film he's missing throws by you know, easy throws
Speaker 1: by five yards, seven yards, and the NFL the margin
Speaker 1: for error is one to two yards, sometimes it's inches.
Speaker 1: So what I want to know, you know, from these
Speaker 1: from your guests, coaches and players that come on this week,
Speaker 1: is what does he need to do to be ready
Speaker 1: to throw in the NFL? What did Josh Allen do,
Speaker 1: What did Lamar Jackson do? They were ready to be
Speaker 1: in the NFL by the second season. They were ready
Speaker 1: to throw and what coaching staffs are best equipped to develop. Richardson, Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are all valid points. But there were times when
Speaker 1: I watched Josh Allen early and I didn't think he
Speaker 1: could play the position. I was like, and he's not
Speaker 1: ready to play. Now. Obviously he's an MVP candidate now,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't good, but they were willing to put
Speaker 1: him in and let him try to figure it out.
Speaker 1: I just thought that he'd have one read and then
Speaker 1: he would just duck, take the ball and duck and run.
Speaker 1: If you if you have that ability, that's you always
Speaker 1: know that you have to get out of jail. Card
Speaker 1: and Anthony Richardson will have that that he you know,
Speaker 1: the same thing with justin Field. It's not there, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go. Well, if you're a quarterback who's going to
Speaker 1: stay in the pocket, then you're going to You're gonna
Speaker 1: learn how to do your reads, your progressions there. If
Speaker 1: I have that ability, Michael Vick had that, Steve Young
Speaker 1: had that that ability of it's not there, I'm going
Speaker 1: and I can make something out of nothing. Okay, it
Speaker 1: works until you eventually have to be in the pocket.
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen proved that he can be in the
Speaker 1: pocket and be successful learning. Steve Young became a hold
Speaker 1: of famer because he learned how to, you know, process
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Yeah, po Josh Allen's first year, they
Speaker 1: were five and six. He was passer. He was the
Speaker 1: second lowest quarterback rating in the entire NFL. Ten touchdowns,
Speaker 1: twelve picks that changed rapidly. Yeah dude, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Final more phone calls will give you our best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend. More on John Morant stepping away
Speaker 1: for a couple of games, and my source says that
Speaker 1: it's not a suspension by the NBA or the Grizzlies.
Speaker 1: We'll get an update coming up.
