Speaker 3: me the league year starting Wednesday is this big important

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: entre the whole weeks.

Speaker 4: It's the beginning of the week and now here later

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 4: in the week.

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: So he took Wednesday off and now we have a

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: much clearer picture of everything.

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Huzza. I mean to me, there is no larger force farce,

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: I should say, in all of pro sports than the

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: NFL calendar in March. It's like, none of it. It's

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: it's like, don't try to tell me that anything starts

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: at a certain time. I won't buy it because we

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: were It's day two of what we've been grinding since

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Sunday mid afternoon.

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 5: If I Heeart's not going to give us any credit.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: At least Dan did right to start off the show.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: Nailed it, nailed it. We're good at that.

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: This is yes, really, in reality, the fourth day of

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: the league year.

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: Don't listen to them, listen to us.

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: And that means many many of the big players that

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: were going into free agency looking for homes or looking

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: to stay with their team, just looking to do business

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: have done that business.

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: In fact, GREGI of your top one oh one, how

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: many like.

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: Who's the what number is the highest ranking player left?

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 5: Well, Tyron Smith has like a four next to his name,

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 5: But on the original, the original, yeah, he would have

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 5: been I think fourteen, And he also would have been

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 5: the only player on the original list of even the

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: top twenty that's unaccounted for, the only one. And then yeah,

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: so one O the Kendall Fuller, who I apparently valued

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 5: a lot higher than NFL teams, actually just came off

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: the board. He would have been thirteenth on the list

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 5: that when you know, kind of final on Monday, as

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 5: the as the negotiating period started, and he just went

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 5: off the board. To the Dolphins, who have actually made

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: it quietly a bunch of nice little moves.

46
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: We're still working on our list, and I think there's yeah,

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: a lot of question. No, it's no, it's it's it's

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: more like you know, we've we exhibit patients, what the

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: list will come when we feel it's time for it

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: to show up. I mean, what are we doing that

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: houses out of the horses side of the barn.

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: It's on the highwayax Mark, I did not tell you

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: that we did release it. Oh well, that's good, okay,

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: but load to hear that it's on the internet. Okay,

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: but it's we's why was I not brought into that process?

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: We've been because it was top secret. We dropped it

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: as an easter egg on the internet.

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: It was actually if you could find the url right

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: put out on the company, we could read it. That

60
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 5: company was recently bought by European investors and they told

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: everyone you know that there.

62
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: What I do love is we published it on dead

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: Spin and it was immediately around medic That's not our fault.

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: I love the Greg underneath the layers of you know,

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: deciding whether or not this was a real project. Greg

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: is a little annoyed that we continue to pump up

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: a little bit our list just a little time. You

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: never know.

69
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: I love it because it's showing how tough it is

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: to make that list.

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Where is your listen?

72
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: It's always surprising what actually annoys Greg like talking about

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: the pickstandings, or that football that the charity gave me

74
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: football from, or for some reason the free agency two thirteen.

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 4: That's just you could tell just a little bit of agitation.

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Why is that? Greg? Why is it certain thing? And

77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: then other things.

78
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: It's like, ah, nothing really matter.

79
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: The only thing that's bothering me about this is that

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: you actually believe what you just said.

81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I do.

82
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: I believe one hundred percent like Rogers. I believe everything

83
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: I say and I believe it to be correct.

84
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 5: You just don't believe anything anyone else says, at least

85
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 5: from like a large sort of organizational or societal stand.

86
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't now, I don't know what you're talking about.

87
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: We are going to be getting deep into a look

88
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: back and in terms of what has happened this week,

89
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: and also of course looking ahead to what's still to come,

90
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: with the great Bill Barnwell, who is a great person

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: to talk to this.

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: Time or year, really any time of year, but this

93
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 4: time of year especially.

94
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: So that's coming up a little bit later, but first,

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: let's get caught up on the news since we last

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: spoke with you. Hey, someone's going to ask you, so

97
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: have you had the little ass boy conversation with Max.

98
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, sure, not of son. He's a big ass boys.

99
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: What he is?

100
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: You gota?

101
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: I did not even connect the dots on that. Gardner

102
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: Menshew signs with the Las Vegas Raiders and do we

103
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: have that original sound from inside the NFL the for

104
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: context that Minshew in a game last year was repeatedly

105
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: belittled by Crosby on the field for his stature, to

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: the point where you cut to Minshew in the second

107
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: half and he's like, I'm not that small, maybe for

108
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: according to the football world, but.

109
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: Boy, well that boy, dude nice Crosby is so that

110
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm angry.

111
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Burke.

112
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 6: He just like the thing is like, he's not that.

113
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: I know, right, he just calls he keeps calling.

114
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 1: Everybody low lass boy, little ass boy.

115
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 7: Right.

116
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a little out here, but.

117
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: Not always, you know.

118
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: Gardner Minshew, the way he says it, he's really got

119
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 5: a McConaughey vibe to him. That's I gotta say, I

120
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of what you want out of

121
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 5: your quarterback. He could be pointing out John Candy in

122
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: the in the crowd right before he goes and has

123
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 5: a game winning Super Bowl.

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: Well, maybe that'll find out with any gardner Minshew, Joe Montana, Parafe.

125
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 6: If he beats out Aiden O'Connell, maybe that'll happen.

126
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: He's still perfect, perfect landing spot for Minshew. Let's see

127
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: if he can squeeze some more starts out of this.

128
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: All right, let's start though in Tennessee, where a surprise

129
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: on Wednesday the Calvin Ridley we had talked about in

130
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: our previous show, and in general, all the arrows seem

131
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: to be pointing to him returning to Jacksonville and circumventing

132
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: that the trade terms with Atlanta to avoid giving up

133
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: a second round pick, that he would just sign with

134
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: the Jags.

135
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: Who we spent last year with.

136
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: On the first day of the league year, No, all

137
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: that erroneous, Ridley signs a four year, ninety two million

138
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: dollar contract with the Titans that includes fifty million guaranteed.

139
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: He's now, in terms of.

140
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: Average value of salary at that position, a top ten,

141
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: which really jumps out to me. Mark is a little

142
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: rich for my blood with Calvin Ridley, a guy that's

143
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: twenty nine years old. He's got a suspension on the ledger.

144
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: He faded a little bit last year, was a little

145
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: hot and cold in general, and you're paying him as

146
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: a number one like that once again, the Dalton scale

147
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: of wide receivers. That is an off season episode that

148
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: is screaming at us. Where would Ridley fall? I think

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: on the other side of that, So let's talk about it,

150
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: because he's not being that.

151
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: That these wide receiver deals for a number of years

152
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: in a row have been have been wild. I I

153
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: would say this though about the Titans in general. I

154
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: don't know if Calvin Ridley is I'm with you. I

155
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: think the money is more than the man in this situation.

156
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: But this was a team that desperately needed to read

157
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: the man well the player the player. Okay, okay, that's

158
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know him personally, so that

159
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: that was out of bounds by me and I.

160
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: Not since you took down the entire insider culture have

161
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: I thought that you really made such a personal attack

162
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: more on that.

163
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: That was only a couple of days ago. But now

164
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: you add Ridley to DeAndre Hopkins, Traylon Burk's Nick Westprookakina,

165
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: It's like Will Levis is coming out of this as

166
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: somewhat of a winner because a they didn't Can you

167
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: say those again. Say those names again, Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins,

168
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Traylon Burks, Nick West, Prookakina. It's not that they couldn't

169
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: go draft someone else too, It's just that I'm just

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: saying they They were bottom of the barrel, one of

171
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the worst wide receiver groups in the league at times

172
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: last year. And it it's like, if Hopkins can still play,

173
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't hate Ridley and Hopkins as a duo. They

174
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: added Tony Pollard with Cushion Berry. It's like they are

175
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: at least active. They needed to do, They needed to

176
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: take steps, and they're taking steps.

177
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 5: It was one of the only contracts this offseason that

178
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 5: when they reported, I was like, wow, I did not

179
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 5: expect him to be that far above the rest of

180
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: the class of receivers that even got to free agency.

181
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: Markus Brown, for instance, hasn't even signed yet though, so

182
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: we'll see what he gets, but it's not going to

183
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: be anything close to this. When it was fifty million

184
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: dollars guaranteed. So you mentioned the average contract, I think

185
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 5: that actually does favors to the Titans. So unless the

186
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: reporting is extremely misleading, it's fifty million dollars guaranteed, which

187
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: I would assume is basically over the first two years

188
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 5: of his contract, so that's more like twenty five.

189
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: It is actually backloaded.

190
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: I don't think he gets to that third year anyways,

191
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 5: And that guaranteed money would be second among all wide receivers,

192
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: only behind Tyreek Hill.

193
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: Now the cap goes up.

194
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 5: Our friend Justin Graver and Titans fans are in their

195
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 5: feelings of people criticizing this move immediately pointed out off

196
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 5: a tweet I wrote of like, well that the percentage

197
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: of the cap is a lot less, and it's you know,

198
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 5: it's a lot if you average out what AJ Brown's

199
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 5: contract actually would have been now like that, that's a

200
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 5: bigger percentage of the cap from when it was signed.

201
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: It's like, and all these Titans fans who are all

202
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: comparing it, and it's like, yeah, this is gonna look

203
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: like a bargain when I signs and Higgins signs and

204
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 5: and all these top players, and my thing is like, yeah,

205
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 5: but really is not anywhere close to the category of

206
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 5: those players.

207
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 6: That that's our point. That's like, yeah, of course AJ

208
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 6: Brown takes.

209
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 5: Up a bigger percentage of the cap, although he got

210
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 5: less guaranteed money, which again is a little crazy. Ridley's

211
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: just like a good player that's getting paid as a

212
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 5: great player, which is how teams historically have gotten into

213
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: trouble in free agency.

214
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: And he's not.

215
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 5: He's not a young player anymore either. He's twenty nine.

216
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: He's a little inconsistent.

217
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: He's like an older version with a little more, you know,

218
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: background than Christian Kirk. Like remember a few years ago

219
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: when everybody was getting nineteen millionaire at the time, and

220
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 3: that was that and it did so like you can

221
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: look at it that way is and if he listened,

222
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: if he has one hundred catches next year and thirteen

223
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: hundred yards and eight touchdowns, that's fine.

224
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: But you need him to be that guy.

225
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: And he hasn't really, other than very early in his career,

226
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 3: been on a trajectory.

227
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: As like a star slash superstar player. But I don't

228
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to. I don't want to.

229
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: So many guess on the surface.

230
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: So you're saying, are the Titans, at least on paper

231
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: better than they were four days ago?

232
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: I think so? Is Will Levis the guy?

233
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: I have some doubts about that too, But they're at

234
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: least giving him a chance and a corps around him.

235
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: And we'll see what happened.

236
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: I do wonder if they had to pay what they paid,

237
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: because along with the Jaguars, the Patriots were talked about

238
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: is looking after Ridley as well. There's maybe some sort

239
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: of a bidding war behind the scenes where you're having

240
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: to pay this money. Now.

241
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to get all Aaron Rodgers here, but

242
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 5: I do have a conspiracy on all this go ahead

243
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 5: that no one's been reporting out there so or that

244
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 5: you heard.

245
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: From no one's reporting yousiracy theories. No, it's just in

246
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: my head.

247
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 5: Yes, at no point did we ever hear the Titans

248
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 5: were in the mix.

249
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: It was a little strange.

250
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: It was like hardcore seventeen different inside Patriots, Patriots, Patriots, Jaguars, Jaguars,

251
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 5: blah blah.

252
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: He wants to see with the Jaguars.

253
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 5: My conspiracy theory is he maybe had a little bit

254
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 5: of a wink wink not not agreement with the Jaguars

255
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: that he wasn't going to sign until after that Wednesday

256
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 5: to help them with the draft picks in general. But

257
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 5: all along the Titans had this offer there and they

258
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 5: were probably the favorite. And again he's just doing the

259
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: Jaguars a favor by basically waiting till Wednesday and then

260
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 5: they get the better draft pick. I don't believe that

261
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: they just suddenly came into the mix in the last

262
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: second and then blew everyone.

263
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 6: Out of the water with a with a huge offer.

264
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 5: And Jacksonville fans, and this is to Calvin Ridley's credit,

265
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 5: are mad. Even though they weren't too happy with him

266
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 5: during the year when he ran a lot of weird

267
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 5: routes and had a lot of drops, the Jaguars did

268
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: really want him and the only reason that they couldn't

269
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: keep was because they had to use the tag on

270
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, which they should have signed him to a

271
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: long term deal before.

272
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: So little but that that also, that seems very plausible.

273
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: But that also tells you that even more of a

274
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: fraudulent entity. Is this like legal tamp Oh yeah, that's

275
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: part because it's like this stuff I've been going on

276
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: long before, you know, the legal tampering window opened so wide.

277
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 5: Please take you had a wild free agent spears. But

278
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: I'll put a pin in that we can talk about

279
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: that with Bill.

280
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

281
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if we mentioned Mason Rudolph also signed

282
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: with the team, so he will back up will Levis

283
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: and like Garden Minshew, I think that's a good spot

284
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 3: for Rudolph because I think there's an opportunity to play

285
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 3: there potential.

286
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 6: It's on the side of the league before those last

287
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 6: couple of starts.

288
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: Isn't it ironic that when he did close the season

289
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: well or at least better than Kenny Pickett and finally

290
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: played at a pretty solid level for the Steelers and

291
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: then they get rid of them finally, Like I.

292
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: Am happy to see him not on the Steelers.

293
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm certainly not like vouching for him staying

294
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh, but just the way where it felt like

295
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: he was on the team for fourteen years and did

296
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: nothing right then finally did a little bit of something.

297
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: They're like now young he appeared in four games.

298
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 5: If it had qualified, he would have been third in

299
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 5: the NFL in QBR it will stop long be forgotten.

300
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: Do we really need that statute make Mason Rudolph last time?

301
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: And I had to check this on Pro Football Reference

302
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: right now just to make sure he wasn't good even

303
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: though it was only two months ago. No that Mason

304
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 5: Rudolph started a playoff game in the year twenty twenty

305
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: four he was in the the NFL started the playoffs,

306
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 5: all the team's got to choose their starting quarter Mason

307
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 5: Rudolph was one of those quarterbacks.

308
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Put it this way, one of the more low wattage playoffs.

309
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: I can't even Rudolph throwing for nine hundred and forty

310
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: five yards, five touchdowns and two picks in his final

311
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: four games has a real hearty whiff of Desmond Rinder's

312
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: last four games in Atlanta and people being.

313
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: Like, hey, he's pretty good. He's pretty good.

314
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: Actually, speaking of Desmond Rinner, the former Falcons starting quarterback

315
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: is on the mood move. He was traded. How about this,

316
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: Rondell Moore upon a second round pick, I believe, once

317
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,359
Speaker 3: upon a time.

318
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.

319
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: So the Cardinals send Rondell Moore, their former second round pick,

320
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: to the Falcons for Ritter So a one for one swap.

321
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: Love these It's fun, you know, it's like old school

322
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: player for player. So the Cards get a new backup

323
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: and the Falcons at another wide receiver.

324
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons and I know they're going to

325
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: be like the sexy NFC South pick, and they should

326
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: be like, this is another team that has like recrafted

327
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: their offense from the couple of offseasons, Like you have

328
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Drake London, Darnell Mooney, I like him as in your

329
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver group, Rondel Moore, Cadarl Hodge, who's more helpful

330
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: than I think people realize. Then maybe you've got Kyle

331
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Pitts finally emerging b John Robinson like and Kirk Cousins like.

332
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: This offense on paper looks dangerous by the way.

333
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm so fantasy drafts aren't for months, but I am

334
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: one of the many, many thousands who will be back

335
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: in on Kyle Pitts.

336
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: But it feels like a shaky fantasy situation the Falcons general,

337
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: because who's I'm not going to a lot of people

338
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: to like.

339
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: I was in on him in year one and year two,

340
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: I took year three off and I'm all the way

341
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: back in.

342
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Then we know what happens with you. Then he doesn't perform,

343
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: and then you write him off as a person as

344
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: a man.

345
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 5: I'm sort of in on this, Like Kyle Pitts says,

346
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: this ide don't cost me. That is not a reality

347
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 5: that like if Kyle Pitts was who we thought Kyle

348
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: Pitts was, Like I think we would know more by now.

349
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 5: I don't think he's as explosive as as he looked

350
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 5: through some injuries, and he had some injuries. It's like

351
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: every but I mean everything on Arthur Smith and Ritter

352
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 5: I think is a little too simple. It's pretty rare

353
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: that you have a challenge trade these. These are both

354
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: players that were a little disappointing I think to their

355
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 5: their team.

356
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: Ritter, I mean more than a little. But he was

357
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: a third round pick.

358
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: Like if he turns into a decent backup quarterback, like

359
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 5: that's what you kind of expect that of a third

360
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: round pick. His coach fire more more can make people miss.

361
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: He is now the third wide receiver on the Falcons

362
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: roster that has caught a pass in the NFL in

363
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: the last three years.

364
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: So like they they only had two.

365
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: They only had one before Darnell Mooney and then they

366
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: had two and now they have three.

367
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: So they needed to progress. Yes, let's take a break

368
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 3: and then we will continue onward. Right, the Chargers making moves,

369
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: they say goodbye, and this one. You know, as a team,

370
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: I follow a team that needs wide receiver help and

371
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: maybe a playmaker that could stretch the defense. Mike Williams

372
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: is on the market. The Chargers release Williams. That Bolts

373
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: pushed a lot of pain into this offseason with some

374
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: restructures last year, and now they have to pay the bill.

375
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: And that's why Mike Williams is no longer on the team.

376
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: And that comes after he signed a three year, sixty

377
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: million contract, sixty million dollars contract after twenty twenty one.

378
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: He was having an awesome start to last season before

379
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: he tore his ACL And of course, Mark injuries and

380
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: Mike Williams, they are no strangers. So any team that

381
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: does sign up, I'm very curious to see what his

382
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: market is. I think there'll be a lot of teams

383
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: interested in him, but how much money he gets considering

384
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: his injury history. But he's still pretty young guy too.

385
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: I think he's sneaky young. Yeah, but maybe his body

386
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 3: sneaky old will be an interesting test in free agent.

387
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is like he's a juicy free agent wide

388
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: out sitting out there. But it is like how many

389
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: games you're gonna get ot him year after year? And

390
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: I know this team's gonna look so different. But when

391
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: Mike Williams was not on the field for the Chargers,

392
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: during this, justin Herbert era, they looked a lot different,

393
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Like I think he certainly made defenses have to pay

394
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: attention to him. Now they're down to Keenan Allen, Josh Palmer,

395
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: and Quentin Johnson. I think Quentin Johnson's got a lot

396
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: of pressure on him to be what they thought he

397
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: could be.

398
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: At this point, I think like ARPA is kind of

399
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: stripping it down a little bit and he's going to

400
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: be this year. You know, we'll see what happens this year.

401
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: But this I think this whole thing is starting to

402
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: be built, you know, stripped down to build back up.

403
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: But Gus Edwards, what do they call it? A controlled rebuild?

404
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: Is that what they call him? Something like that? I mean,

405
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: you could call it makes sense whatever you want.

406
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying I feel like that's a term that's

407
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: out there.

408
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: I am not sure because some of the reporting around

409
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 5: this right when it happened was they actually would maybe

410
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 5: try to get him back at a lower price, and

411
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 5: so they also renegotiated a deal for Khalil Mack.

412
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: To keep them. And then there's these and Joey Bosa

413
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: is that has that happened? Well, they're working on his

414
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: he's restructuring his deal too. He's a controlled But I

415
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: know that Greg was was working behind the scenes because

416
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: yesterday when we were deciding, like is there enough to

417
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: do a show or Greg kept being like, I think

418
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: there's gonna be big Chargers moves. I'm like, eight minutes later,

419
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure some big Chargers moves are coming in there.

420
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: At all.

421
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 5: It was obvious they had like the four. Everyone was

422
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 5: reporting that for weeks. That's something had to have. But

423
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 5: it just was like, you broke that BOSA news. To me,

424
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 5: I gotta admit is here. Yeah, well that he restructured

425
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 5: it to stay, So what do you mean you have

426
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: to admit that's what I do? I operate in the

427
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 5: news saying I have to admit that I was a

428
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: little off the grid on the way I ate a

429
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: little lunch.

430
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: I missed that.

431
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: You get do you really get beat on aggregating news,

432
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: like when you're not actually a reporter, you're saying he

433
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: beats you on that.

434
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he beat I'm saying I entered the

435
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: show that I actually was productive nothing with Mark. I'm

436
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: saying the insider Mark Sessler, I.

437
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: Entered the show without a key bit of information related

438
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 5: unlike something, and I don't feel good about it.

439
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: I guess who was there for you?

440
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 5: I'm surprised, Mark, I mean who was there for the

441
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 5: freaking listeners of the Around the NFL podcast that I'm

442
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 5: actually very surprised by that that Bosa's staying considering how

443
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 5: little he's played. But Mike Williams, would you rather have

444
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 5: him or Calvin Ridley?

445
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, Ridley if they're healthy, Mike Williams, if they're healthy,

446
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: Mike Williams.

447
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: I put Mike Williams is number twelve now in the

448
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 5: new one on one, which is confusing because half the

449
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: people about this, it's like I'm put ranking against people

450
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 5: that are already signed.

451
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 6: But to me, he's never an ex receiver, a true

452
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 6: difference maker.

453
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: When he's out there coming off an a cl he

454
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: might have to sign a prove it deal. But let's

455
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 3: say he gets a Fugeesi deals. Let's say you know,

456
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: it's a three year deal or four years, but it's

457
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 3: really two year deal. So two for fifty for Ridley

458
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: or two for thirty five for Mike Williams.

459
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: Give me Mike Williams.

460
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, And if I had to guess I'm gonna

461
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 5: go one for fourteen is like I think so too,

462
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 5: something like I'd be but you, Joe d I would

463
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 5: be all over that, especially if you're a team in

464
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 5: a win now window.

465
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: You take a check. We have prediction it's coming up later,

466
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: I believe in the show with Bill Barnwell and I

467
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: have a prediction of tied to Mike Williams. Great, okay,

468
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: so we'll just move on. So if you're listening, just

469
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: fast forward to this.

470
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, Joe Flacco got a job. We were

471
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 3: just talking about Joe Flacco last show. I was trying

472
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: to wrap my head around why you would ever sign

473
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: Jameis Winston in general, but to sign him to replace

474
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco, who is one of the great stories of

475
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: the NFL season as Deshaun Watson's backup took the Browns

476
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: to the playoffs.

477
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: The brown say bye bye.

478
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: So Flacco needs a job and he lands with the

479
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: Cults a one year, eight point seven million dollar contract.

480
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: How much of that all right in four point five

481
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: is guaranteed? According to Schefty and a good listen A

482
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: nice landing spot for Flacco. He is backing up a

483
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: second year quarterback who is a top five draft pick.

484
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 3: So unless Anthony Richardson gets injured again, Joe's not going

485
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: to see the field. I kind of want to see

486
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: Joe take the field again, but I also want to

487
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: see Anthony Richardson stay on the field this year. So

488
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: if anybody was like invested in the arc of this

489
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco end of his career renaissance, this could end

490
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 3: up be something that puts them in mothballs.

491
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 4: But good for him. He's in the league and he's

492
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: still making millions of dollars.

493
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 5: I just like that Anthony Richardson is a Shane Stiken quarterback,

494
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: and Joe Flacco is a Shane Stiken quarterback, and Gardner

495
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 5: Minshew is a Shine Steaken quarterback.

496
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 6: Like, get you a coach that could do both.

497
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 5: It's like, okay, let's just get the guy that's exactly

498
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 5: the same as the backup. No, like we've seen Shane

499
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 5: Stike and work it with Nick Foles to the tune

500
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: of one of the greatest Super Bowl performances of all time.

501
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 5: He was on the staff somewhere, wasn't he.

502
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Flaco will be the starter though.

503
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 5: During some of the off season, while Richardson recovers from

504
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 5: a torn aco and yeah, you would think he probably

505
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: will end up taking some snaps this year just because Richardson,

506
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 5: you know, had multiple injuries in those.

507
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Well and Richardson had concussion issues. And it's like the

508
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: way that he plays, you just have to wonder, like

509
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: it's kind of a wild man in the in that

510
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: month that he played, it really was. It's so important

511
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: to have backup. Yeah, I think we could see Flacco,

512
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 1: I'd say from the Browns perspective, And I mentioned the

513
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: other day, like they're operating in fear like this, it

514
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: would it was. It was too much of a distraction

515
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: to have, like a fan favored to merge behind the

516
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: quarterback who's the worst free agent.

517
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 5: It wasn't about his base salary is basically the same

518
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: as Winston got a little.

519
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: He was too popular and like, I don't I think

520
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: that's just another chapter in a team stuck in a

521
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: very dark situation at under center.

522
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: They might say, they might say that Flacco is potentially

523
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: a fluco If you ask them why they did it,

524
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: they'd say, yeah.

525
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: Winston, it's not it's not like you you have an

526
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: absolute I know Greg is hired than jameis Winston than some,

527
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: but it's like, right, Jameis Winston is about as hot

528
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: and cold as it gets.

529
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: Right, but his play was at such a high level

530
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: right that they say maybe more of a fluco.

531
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: I know, but it's it's like, I know where you're going.

532
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 6: I think, I think what you're bit of a story is.

533
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: Dans seven, forty fifth ranked bit Flaco Fluco over the

534
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 5: last ten years is having quite a renaisson.

535
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: It is.

536
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to do the bit and Mark

537
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: keeps on debating me.

538
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: I know, but it's like whenever, whenever, whenever we go

539
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: down Jets Avenue and you go, you go, you spin

540
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: the yarn about how everyone's against the Jets, and it's

541
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: always constant jokes and get like, this is my this

542
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: is my so called right and this is what I

543
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: liked about my team last week and they got rid

544
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: of it.

545
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: But what he's saying, though, is like he got that

546
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 5: comeback player of the year a war ahead.

547
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: He deserved it. But he could be a fluco. It

548
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: could be a bit of a pluco. I mean, I

549
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: get it. Am I supposed to find it as funny

550
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: as the two of you at the moment, I mean,

551
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: it's the apex of comedy.

552
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner his homecoming with the Seahawks was brief after

553
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: one season. And we have a middle school watching us

554
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: right now, so played at a high level. I just

555
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: don't look outside the fish pay.

556
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: I can't help it. And they're all taking photos and stuff.

557
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: They're outside the windows. He goes to that place.

558
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 3: Washington Man, the commander's been active, created terms with Bobby Wagner,

559
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: formerly the Seahawks and before that the Rams, and before

560
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: that the Seahawks on a one year deal, six million

561
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: guaranteed money worth up to eight and a half. So

562
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 3: they go a veteran hammer in the middle of that defense.

563
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: And Greg dare I say, at the risk of offending you,

564
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer, I.

565
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 5: Think that's a safe one. You're not gonna defend me

566
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 5: on that one.

567
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: Phew, all right, other news anything on that nice solid signing.

568
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn has added a lot. They've added a lot

569
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: of players to a defense that's gonna look.

570
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 5: For Their price is different, and I mean they weren't.

571
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 5: They aren't making long term commitments with most of their players.

572
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 5: They've been as active as any team. I kind of

573
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 5: like that. It forty nine Ers fans have pointed out

574
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 5: it's a little similar to what the forty nine ers

575
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: did when Shana Hammett showed up there. Just like he's

576
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 5: the base level with a bunch of professionals for a

577
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: year or two while you start figuring out who are

578
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 5: the core guys.

579
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: The Lines announced four year contract extensions for Jim Brad

580
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell.

581
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: That's a no brainer.

582
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: And finally before we take a break, and then we're

583
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: gonna welcome in Bill Barnwell.

584
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: I've got controlled fury. Thank you.

585
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: Dan kirk Cousins was officially introduced as the quarterback of

586
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons, and he looking sharp in his suit

587
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: in the Falcons call.

588
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: I feel like we all slept on a couple of things.

589
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, you had.

590
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: Florio getting into it with people in the media because

591
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: he had a source that said that Kirk was doing

592
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 3: some real estate shopping in Atlanta. But he also what

593
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: I read after the signing, I didn't know this. I

594
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: guess this is probably out there too, that his wife's

595
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: from there. Yeah, we got married. There was born there podcast.

596
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: I maybe missed that show, or maybe I wasn't listening

597
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: to There are a lot of a lot of tea

598
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: leaves there, and he went there. And here's Kirk Cousins

599
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: talking about why he decided to move on from Minnesota.

600
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 7: In Minnesota, it was trending over the last couple off

601
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 7: seasons to be in somewhat year to year, and as

602
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 7: we talked with Atlanta, it felt like this was a

603
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 7: place where, you know, if I play at the level

604
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 7: I expect to play, that I can retire a Falcon

605
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 7: And that was something that really excited me. And that's

606
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 7: certainly the goal.

607
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: Kirk has also been number eight, I believe his whole career.

608
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: That's Kyle Pitts's number. Here's a fun little waka waka

609
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: conversation about that.

610
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 7: He was funny about it. I said, I'll write a

611
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 7: check whatever, you know, foundation what. I'm not going to

612
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 7: let you just give me the number. I want to

613
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 7: make it worth your while. But then I make a

614
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 7: donation whatever needs to be. And he said, I just want,

615
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 7: you know, targets every game. You know, he said he

616
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 7: was joking. You know, he kind of winked, so I

617
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 7: joke at them. I said, good answer, good answers.

618
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: He winked, he winked, I'm telling you, Kyle Pitts, there

619
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 3: was no joke about that. He's like, you can throw

620
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: it straight right, you could hit in the chest with passes.

621
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: I love you.

622
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: I will give you anything, including the shirt off my back.

623
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: They're gonna say, Kirk Cousins looking sharp in that, and that's.

624
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: Does look good.

625
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: I think you gotta The Falcons have really leaned into

626
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 5: the whole chains thing, and it's like, I think you

627
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 5: gotta leave that in Minnesota and come up with your

628
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 5: own new new stuff. If I'm if I'm the Vikings scene,

629
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: he's bringing the Kirk co Chains things here. It's like

630
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: that was our thing. Come up with something new. He

631
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 5: did drop a little bit of news though, though, too,

632
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 5: which has been supported by reporting that the Vikings really

633
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 5: weren't committing to him long term, in the same way

634
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 5: that the.

635
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 4: Fact that there was a even within these negotiations.

636
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they were offering him good money, but

637
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 5: after the first year it maybe was gonna be a

638
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 5: little year to year and the Falcons were gonna make

639
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 5: it two plus. You know, they're really committing two and

640
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: a half, really three years probably to Kirk.

641
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: It does me wondering, like Kevin O'Connell, who on multiple

642
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: occasions came out very strongly saying we believe Kirk Cousins

643
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: should be our quarterback. I came here because of him.

644
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: We're working hard to get him back here. And then

645
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: in the end, like all all that's true is the money.

646
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: They weren't Well they yeah not.

647
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 5: I mean, like like Kevin O'Connell that I think that

648
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 5: is being pointed out that it's QUESSI.

649
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's that's I don't know, like if you're

650
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, and I know we're big on Sam Donald,

651
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: but it's like you're you have a challenge a quarterback? Now?

652
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: Is that a royal? Are you? Guys? In? Though I

653
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: don't hate the landing spot for Sam Donald, but I

654
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: think you're talking about someone who's a you know, little

655
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: team of aten vibes do No.

656
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 5: They save it for Bill, who's been listening to this

657
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 5: entire segment and tells me over text that he's actually

658
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 5: talking over our points making.

659
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: All right, so let's take a break because that sounds saucy.

660
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: He might come he might come on mad. We might

661
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: have said something out offended Bill, And now we're gonna

662
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: find that podcasting I hope. So all right, we'll be uh,

663
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: we'll take a break. We'll be right back.

664
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: Our next guest.

665
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 3: Really at this point, he's no introduction, but I'm gonna

666
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: give it to you anyway. ESPN star, podcaster, expert, analyst,

667
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: future general manager. I see it as possibility if he

668
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: wants that path, Bill Barnwell, Bill, what you could do it?

669
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: Future? I'm very skeptical. Uh, there are a lot of

670
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: people I would put ahead of me on the future

671
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: general manager list, including several of the people who was

672
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: the show.

673
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: Wow, several several, not all. I want to i's a

674
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: gm GM on your team.

675
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: I want you to look in the New York night

676
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: and say, was it me?

677
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: Oh? I'll be thinking about this for probably months, but

678
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: no idea what you did? Mark psych just now.

679
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 5: He is uh, he is a TV star. He's actually

680
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 5: between Sports Center hits right now. Hell ya insider information

681
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 5: and you see him on around the Horn more now

682
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 5: they're they're using him there since I was out on

683
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 5: the town like in the afternoon a couple of weeks ago,

684
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: and as Mark Sessler oft names well, no, just like

685
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: I up up on the television, you know, for all

686
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 5: the place to see was Bill Barnwell like chopping it up,

687
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 5: but of course no sound and then they don't put

688
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 5: the closed captions, so that's a that's a problem.

689
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: I spoke to management about that.

690
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: I I I try to be so eloquent and so

691
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: overly verbose or so underleaverbos. Maybe that you can read

692
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: my lips even if you're.

693
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: Not as service to the to the viewer.

694
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: You did you anything in our news segment that you

695
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: jumped on and you're getting set up that offended you.

696
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 4: We seem to be getting yeah, yeah, yes.

697
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, multiple things.

698
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Wait or what else? No, I would I.

699
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: Would have just watched the show. That would have been

700
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: frankly my dream of you just be to watch the

701
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 2: show from from behind the door, not have to come

702
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: up with original thoughts and just be like, yeah, I contributed.

703
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: I was a part of that show. I just never

704
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: got I was like, you know, the guy at the

705
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: All Star Game, we never got to play still an

706
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: All Star just because I've been got on the field

707
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: does not matter any things I want.

708
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: To ask you, Yeah, go ahead, let's get going.

709
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: Number one, the idea that Kirk Cousins needs to leave

710
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: the Kirko chains in Minneapolis, not saying you're wrong necessarily.

711
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: But it's not like Kirk left you like that in Washington,

712
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: like he brought that to Minnesota. And I think as

713
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: someone who does not have a lot of bits, like

714
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: Kirk has like two or three things. And that's it.

715
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: The things you know about Kirk Cousins the chains, we

716
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: know you like that, and that he does not know

717
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: how to grow food. Those three things he has to

718
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: bring from stop to stop because he doesn't have anything else.

719
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: That's true.

720
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: That's like the you don't abandon the bits, yeah, like

721
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: the like the Dad certain dad bits like if you

722
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: leave your keys behind and then Dad's like, hey, you're

723
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: not going to get too far without these, like he

724
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: needs to have, you know, some of his greatest.

725
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 5: Maybe it's the fact that social media giving me a

726
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 5: shirt list Kirko chains this morning with the caption woke

727
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 5: up Drippin'. It's just like, okay, well, these social media

728
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 5: handles need to so I was last year, and to

729
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: Kirk's credit, he pointed out, the chains aren't going to

730
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 5: be so cute if we're not winning winning games. So

731
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 5: if he actually looks like a thirty six year old

732
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 5: coming off with torn achilles, then then the bits are

733
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 5: gonna die, all right.

734
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: So what we're gonna do is we're gonna and unless

735
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: there was another thing, yeah, oh wow, keep going, let's go,

736
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: let's chop it up, let's figure things out.

737
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: The universal Sam Donald love. I wanted to make it

738
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: clear that even though I am a guest and respect

739
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: the opinions of the around the NFL broadcasters in the

740
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: round the NFL Show.

741
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: I do not want to be included as one of

742
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: you want to be excluded from that narrative, Taylors very much.

743
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: I am on the other side of this line. History

744
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: will proof be right?

745
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: You know what's good about that?

746
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: Because I am I don't know if you know, Bill

747
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: very much on the other side with you know, your

748
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: colleague and friend Mina chimes, amongst others, that I think

749
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: it's good because I don't need what The one thing

750
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: that Sam Donald Hive doesn't need is it to become

751
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: a tidal wave of everyone expecting.

752
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: Him to be good.

753
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: We still need dominate voices like Barnwell, like Rosenthal, like

754
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: the cestags. You're wondering if I was gonna leave you

755
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: out saying no, he sucks, because that will make it

756
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: all the sweeter.

757
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 4: So that is great news. No issue here, No issue here.

758
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: I agree. There's a lot of times where like people

759
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: will like the Lions. For example, there were no Lions

760
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: haters the last couple of years. Everyone thought the Lions

761
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: were going to get better. Everyone was excited about what

762
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: they were doing. Like I think that there's like this

763
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: like false hater thing that comes up and people like,

764
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: no one believed in us. Like no, everyone believed in

765
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: you to get better. Maybe you exceeded expectations, which good

766
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: for you, but everyone thought you were going to be better.

767
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: Everyone thought you did a lot to improve. Nobody was like,

768
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: this team's going to be terrible. So I feel like

769
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: you want to have some actual haters to just just

770
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: make your point, make it feel a little a little

771
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: more valid.

772
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: Will you are in fine form, I could tell, like

773
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: us even doing a lot of podcasts this week on appearances,

774
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: you should check out the Bill Barnwell podcast in addition

775
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 3: to this show, and you'll be all caught up. So

776
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: let's get into some categories. I know you did some

777
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: superlatives on your show. This will be slightly different but

778
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 3: kind of the same. Oh maybe we'll make it different.

779
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: That's different. Humans talking about football. Yeah, and I'll start

780
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: with the move that made the biggest impact. And the

781
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 3: reason I want to start with that one is because

782
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 3: I'll take the easy one, because I think Kirk Cousins

783
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 3: is that pick for me because of obviously the position

784
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 3: he plays, but also the recent history of the Falcons.

785
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: And I don't even really need to dig in too

786
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: far because you know how important just having a stabilizing

787
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 3: force that that position can be for a Falcons team

788
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: that might be ready to make the leap your thoughts

789
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 3: Bill on the Cousins Falcons fit, and then maybe if

790
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: you want to throw in one of your own biggest impact.

791
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: Guys, I do like the fit. I think the price

792
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 2: matters when we talk about free agency. I think, you know,

793
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: especially when you get the actual money here. And I

794
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: think great point with this out. I believe on on

795
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: social media it's not that big of a deal. It

796
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: feels big, and it's two garanteed years. But this is

797
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: basically the Daniel Jones deal, but with inflation making up

798
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 2: most of the difference. Daniel Jones got eighty two million

799
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed. With inflation from the cap, that's up to

800
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: ninety three million over two years, Kirk got a hundred.

801
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: I don't think that is an exorbitant amount for a

802
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: player who was I mean, what top ten would you

803
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: guys say last year before I got hurt in terms

804
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks around the league, lower half of the top

805
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: ten for sure, like nine to ten. Yeah, sure, that's

806
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: that's a good deal to me that. I think that's

807
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: a really solid price for a quarterback who, even if

808
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: he's coming off the Achilles, he's not a moble quarterback anyway.

809
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna be asking him to run

810
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: around a lot. A player who had a great injury

811
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: history before suffering the Achilles, had not even been on

812
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: the injury report for many years before suffering that injury

813
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: last year. I like the fit in Zach Robinson's offense.

814
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: I think the personnel they've added not only they had

815
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: in place, but also the guys they've added over the

816
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: past two days. Donald Mooney they trade for Ron dall

817
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: Moore today, I think those are exciting pieces to work with.

818
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: They play indoors again. I you know, maybe he doesn't

819
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: give you the ceiling you're looking for. Maybe you don't

820
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: get the you know, the the rookie quarterback ceiling. But

821
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: I think if their goal is to win the NFC South,

822
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: this was a logical move.

823
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think so too.

824
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 5: I just think people have this idea that they're just

825
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 5: like this ready made team and it's a totally different

826
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 5: coaching staff. People often like project forward of like how

827
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 5: is this offensive line going to be? For instance, it

828
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 5: actually was pretty disappointing last year. It's one of the

829
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 5: reasons I think they fell shure, how is their defense

830
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 5: going to be? Some of the numbers look pretty good

831
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: for the Falcons, but Dvoa they were twenty fourth because

832
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 5: they played such an easy schedule that was artificially inflating.

833
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 5: You look at their defense, the front sevens, you know,

834
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 5: especially the edge rushing positions, pretty lackluster. So it helps

835
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 5: their they look like the best team in that division.

836
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 5: But that's doing a lot of the work here. If

837
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 5: you're just lining up like who's got the best roster

838
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 5: in the NFC, they're right in the middle, and they

839
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 5: might be behind the Minnesota Ike. So it's like, I

840
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 5: don't think there's some great ready made team there, just

841
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 5: in a bad division.

842
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we'll take that, like play play the car,

843
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: play play it as it lays you are not going

844
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 2: to be stuck in the you know, in the NFC

845
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 2: West anytime soon. And you're an owner who's in his eighties.

846
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 2: You have a roster that's not one of the younger

847
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: rosters in football, especially after all the free agent signings

848
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: they made last year on defense. Like you, if you

849
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: want to go win ten eleven games, I think Kirk

850
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 2: can do that for.

851
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: Your biggest impact for you other or maybe it is

852
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 3: Cousins or is it someone else?

853
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: I would say cousins, but I'm trying to think of

854
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: a second person. And if you could hear me trying

855
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: to stall, we could give it too.

856
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: You don't have to force another impact.

857
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: No, No, because I think I think there's a conversation

858
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: to be had here. What about Sequon Barkley?

859
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: Okay?

860
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: Should Should we have the Saquon Barkley conversation? Because I

861
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 2: think it implies a couple of things. Number one, there's

862
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: the economic impact of Okay, we have found the point

863
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: where even teams like the Eagles were not typically investing

864
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: in running backs, are willing to go out and pay

865
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: for a premium running back. We saw that price tag

866
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: make sense. He's getting less than Gabe Davis which at

867
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: the end of the day, like I have to believe,

868
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: if you polled thirty two NFL diferens of coordinators and said,

869
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 2: are you more worried about Gabe Davis or Saquon Barkley,

870
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: you know if you're playing the next week, I have

871
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: to imagine most of them would say Saquon Barkley. And

872
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: I think it raises this really fascinating question about what

873
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: this Eagles offense is going to look like. Host Jason

874
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: Kelsey retiring and after they've now hired Kellen Moore to

875
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: be the offensive coordinator, are they going to be a

876
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 2: team that throws to the running back more the way

877
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: Morris offenses did with Tony Pollard and Austin because they

878
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: didn't do that much over the past couple years. Jaalen

879
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: Hurts Is Jalen Hurt's going to run less? Is he

880
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: going to be less a part of the designated running

881
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: back or quarterback running game? Is he going to be

882
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 2: the guy who was the tushbush. Are they gonna put

883
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: Saquon in the tush push spot? I think is a

884
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: viable possibility. I think there's all these different questions about

885
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: what Squon is going to do in that offense, and

886
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: it may work out that he's just a typical running back.

887
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: He gets thirty catches a year, and that's a pretty

888
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: boring answer, but I think there's a lot of exciting

889
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 2: possibilities for how the Eagles offense could evolve with Kellen

890
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: Moore and now with a different focal point in Saquon Barkley.

891
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: I love the fit. I'm with you. I think that

892
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at Saquon Barkley, a durability

893
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: was an issue in New York, but also the cast

894
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: around him and the quarterbacks durability, and the wide out

895
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: s durability, and the tight ends durability in the offensive

896
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: line being a shambles. Like He's in a much better spot,

897
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: and I think the Eagles have found a way, even

898
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: though their season ended in total chaos, to kind of

899
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: flip the switch a little bit where some of that

900
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: goes away. And I think Saquon Barkley is like a

901
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: new face who, like You're right, It changes the versatility

902
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: of what the offense can do. And I feel a

903
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: little bit different about the Eagles and him going to

904
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: another place I wouldn't have been big on. I like

905
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: it in Philadelphia for the NFC East rivalry side of

906
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: it too.

907
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: I absolutely do too, because I think my answer for

908
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 5: biggest impact a lot of the options would be on

909
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 5: the Eagles. I think Bryce Huff for them is going

910
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 5: to be perfect. I think Chauncey Gardner Johnson is in

911
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 5: that secondary. It just absolutely needed something. I think that

912
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 5: is a sort of an undervalued position, having that versatility

913
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 5: where you can play slot, you can play safety, and

914
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 5: they absolutely needed someone back there and they know what

915
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 5: they're getting in Chauncey Gardner Johnson. Like I look at

916
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 5: a lot of the moves this week, and a lot

917
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 5: of my favorite moves are the Philadelphia Eagles getting I'm

918
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 5: back in. Everybody's back in on the Eagles. How about

919
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 5: this pivot? Here's my yes, go ahead, here's my question

920
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 5: about the Eagles. This is the only part that worries

921
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 5: me about the Eagles in Chauncey Gardner Johnson. So they

922
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 5: could have signed him to a multi year deal last year,

923
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 5: did not do it. He misses the entire season basically

924
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 5: because of injury, and now they want to bring him

925
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 5: back on a multi year deal. Does that seem a

926
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 5: little worrisome to you? Maybe they're just trying to erase

927
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 5: what happened last year and just bring back, you know,

928
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 5: try to like just bring back the twenty twenty two

929
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 5: team at all costs. I think he just had a

930
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 5: certain number that he wanted to reach last year and

931
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 5: no one gave it to him. And the reporting was

932
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 5: just that they were going to spend that money somewhere.

933
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 5: But it's the first few hours of free agency. He

934
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 5: wasn't taking it, and they pivoted to Bradbury and that

935
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 5: turned to be a disastrous contract. They were not expecting

936
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 5: to keep Bradbury or pay him that much money, and

937
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 5: then Chohnzi Garner Johnson got left out in the cold.

938
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 6: I mean, he kind of did this year too.

939
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 5: None of these safeties got paid like monster money, but

940
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 5: he did better.

941
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I like it better than the relationship between Chauncey Gardner

942
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: and Dennis Allen, which was one of the funnier subplots

943
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: in the NFC a couple of years ago.

944
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 3: Somebody I'm looking for it on Twitter. Somebody sent it

945
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 3: to me. We've been talking. It's come up a couple

946
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 3: of times on the show's shows this week that the

947
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: idea of being careful with your friend that breaks up

948
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: with the girl and then you say something bad about

949
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: the girl and then the friend gets back with the girl.

950
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, troubled.

951
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: Apparently on the way out the door, Gardner Johnson buried

952
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 3: the city of Philadelphia and their fans.

953
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 4: That's a tricky one.

954
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 5: I think he's I think he sent some tweets out

955
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: to make up like the worst.

956
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 3: Part of playing there were the fans, Well, welcome back.

957
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 3: If I could find that quote out, I'll do it.

958
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: Pivot Greggy, what is the move where you were scratching

959
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 3: your head like, come in?

960
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: What? All right? Titans fans aren't gonna love this.

961
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 5: But they made a couple just swaps that to me,

962
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 5: didn't make a lot of sense. One of them was

963
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 5: as he's alsha, here goes to Houston and they bring

964
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 5: in Kenneth Murray from the Chargers, which feels like a downgrade,

965
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 5: and they paid it, paid more money for it. Another

966
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 5: one was Derek Henry leaves the building and you bring

967
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 5: in Tony Pollard, which is fine. I like Tony Potter,

968
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 5: so I'm not really killing this one, but it's just

969
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 5: like a swap. Is this an upgrade again for the

970
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 5: same amount of money. There's just a lot going on there,

971
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 5: And if you look at each move. I don't think

972
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 5: one by one that they were terrible moves by the Titans.

973
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 5: Like Lloyd Cushionberry gets a lot of money out center,

974
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 5: but they all screamed to me of a team a

975
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 5: little bit like the Patriots, although they spent on their

976
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 5: own guys. It's like at some point you have too

977
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 5: much gap space and you just feel like you have

978
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 5: to spend it, and you make marginal upgrades, like they

979
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 5: went from Aaron Brewer to cushion Berry at Center and

980
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 5: just spent twice as much money. It's like, historically that's

981
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 5: bad process and that sort of process doesn't work out.

982
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 5: So it's more of the Titans process in general. But

983
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 5: especially that Murray contract seemed bizarre to me because he

984
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 5: was kind of a fiasco and with the Chargers.

985
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no idea what he was, what that

986
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: market was like. That was going to be my pick

987
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: as well.

988
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: Whoa, I've got a situation that irks me. Okay, go ahead,

989
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: And it's more about just inactivity and I and I

990
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: you know the way this works. Probably by the time

991
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: people are listening to this, this could change. But the

992
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs needed a wide receiver. They needed to look for something,

993
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: and they've added IRV Smith, a you know, largely forgettable

994
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: tight end and nothing else. I know they're restructured the

995
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Mahome Steel and I think there's that to me suggests

996
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: or hintsat a bigger move to come, and I hope

997
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: it does. But it's like they're the draft is helpful too,

998
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: but their drop position isn't great, Like you need to

999
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: look around for something because you can't get I think

1000
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: they will, but it's like they have done nothing yet.

1001
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: And yet I speak against myself because I trust no

1002
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: team more to kind of figure it figure out their

1003
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: own issues. So still players that we just talked about,

1004
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Mike Williams in the news. You know, Odell's out there

1005
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: and there's the draft ahead. It could be trades. I'd

1006
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: like Mike Williams would be interesting.

1007
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 5: The Bengals ever trade t Higgins to them. I forgot

1008
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 5: the Chiefs, by the way for the Titans. There was

1009
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 5: a contract I liked even less on the Titans, which

1010
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 5: was which we never talked about in the pot, which

1011
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 5: is Chudobi a woozy which I just didn't get because

1012
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 5: he was coming off of torn acl last year and

1013
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 5: struggled pretty badly for the Bengals got benched more or

1014
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 5: less during that stretch run, and they like want to

1015
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 5: establish a veteran culture and they give all this money

1016
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 5: to him, So that's curious.

1017
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 3: During a live stream on Twitch last July, CJ. Gardner

1018
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 3: Johnson was asked about his favorite and least favorite part

1019
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 3: of his time in Philadelphia. Here's a quote, Philadelphia, Colleen

1020
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 3: will this is not me.

1021
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: This is the quote.

1022
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 3: My least favorite thing is the people. They're obnoxious. I

1023
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 3: can't stand the mother.

1024
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: All the people, not even just the fans.

1025
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, is that the right context? Like

1026
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 2: they could that could be like a out of context,

1027
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: that could be differently.

1028
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: Randy Chavez behind the glass, big funk, can you check

1029
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 3: in on the context?

1030
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: That's important. Bill, Bill's a journal at his.

1031
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 5: Heart, ironic may It's like like if the Eagles fans

1032
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 5: read that, wouldn't they recognize one of their own? And

1033
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 5: all like that is someone absolutely, I don't doubt. So

1034
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 5: that is hilarious because yeah, he he tweeted out flying

1035
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 5: home and put an Eagle thing up.

1036
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: He I don't think he's addressed these comments, all right?

1037
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah?

1038
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I just have a question. We also find

1039
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: out what his favorite thing was. Lea's favorite thing was

1040
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: with people. That's a really vague one that.

1041
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them too.

1042
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 5: He does say, I do it with the fans of

1043
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 5: Philly and apology regardless. This is an amazing place and

1044
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 5: we had some memories together. Let's go get us on.

1045
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: So we had let bygones be bygones, as they say,

1046
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.

1047
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: Really.

1048
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 3: How about this one the Vince Lombardi memorial what the

1049
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 3: Hell's going on around here?

1050
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: Bill? For you?

1051
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 3: The signing that really left your trade or whatever that

1052
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 3: left you scratch in your head?

1053
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 2: I would say the vikings with Sam. I don't want

1054
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: to have to rehash that though, because I really don't

1055
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: understand what's going on there. Maybe can we talk about

1056
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 2: the Raiders and Christian Wilkins, because on one hand it

1057
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 2: makes total sense, and on the other I don't think

1058
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 2: it makes sense. Like from the perspective of we need

1059
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: to upgrade this roster, they needed an interior pass rusher,

1060
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: and I think that makes total sense. But in the

1061
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: big picture, I think they're They think they're a lot

1062
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 2: closer to contention than they actually are. I really think

1063
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 2: they need to take a step backwards on a step forward,

1064
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: and kind of feels like they're just making the same

1065
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: mistake that twenty years of Raiders teams have done in

1066
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 2: years past. But I don't know, do you guys feel

1067
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 2: like there's a an obvious one that that I'm missing,

1068
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: because I feel like that's kind of cheating too.

1069
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Does it strike He was like the Dominican Sue of

1070
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: the Dolphins back when that happened and everyone thought that

1071
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: Miami was winning the offseason.

1072
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 5: That is a great great Wilkins is a great player,

1073
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 5: and I was surprised he got to free agency in

1074
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 5: the first place.

1075
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: It was one of the most surprising things.

1076
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 5: And I do like what they're building winning with defense

1077
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 5: first though. And you get fifty seven million dollars guaranteed

1078
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 5: to a defensive tackle in the same year that you

1079
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 5: signed Gardner Minshew as your presumptive starting quarterback. It's just

1080
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 5: it's weird process. But you know, he was one of

1081
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 5: the best players of AILA.

1082
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: I offer my theory on this, I think and this

1083
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: is a power of his personality. Culled the personality Antonio

1084
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 3: Pierce has an organization whipped up into an uproar they

1085
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 3: got him puffing out their chess. You heard the comments

1086
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 3: about the Chiefs and can't wait to give him the

1087
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 3: Jordan rules. They go and they they're in. You know,

1088
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: Antonio Pierce, a former linebackers like, yeah, give me that

1089
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: Max Crosby chess piece to pair with.

1090
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 4: Him, and we're gonna kick some more ass.

1091
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: And it's like, bring us in this guy and that guy,

1092
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 3: where even though it makes all the sense in the

1093
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 3: world to trade Devonte Adams and reset for the future,

1094
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 3: we're keeping him because we're the We're gonna, We're gonna

1095
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 3: continue to I think, And I don't think it's necessarily

1096
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: a bad thing.

1097
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for just positive.

1098
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 3: Vibes and why not they could win nine games next

1099
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 3: year and not and make the playoffs. But at the

1100
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 3: same time, maybe the Pierce and the energy around the

1101
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 3: end of that season and him getting hired is affecting

1102
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 3: more than just where they went ahead.

1103
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: Coach, No question, I think that is absolutely what's happening there.

1104
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 2: I'll throw up two more. I'll let you guys decide.

1105
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 2: It's more interesting. I will say the Packers swapping out

1106
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones for Josh Jacobs when I don't know what

1107
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 2: you guys feel. I think Aaron Jones is the better

1108
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 2: running back of the two. And the Patriots where they

1109
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 2: came out this offseason and they said we got money

1110
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: to burn. Jered Mayo was excited to spend money, and

1111
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: they have kind of just run it back with the

1112
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 2: old Patriots. They have only made too many additions outside

1113
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: of what they had previously, so a little intrigued as

1114
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: to what their short term plan is.

1115
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: I like those guys, I think for me because the Vikings,

1116
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, they you know, you move on with Daniel

1117
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: Hunter and you replace them with someone else. But it's

1118
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: like the Aaron Jones to the Vikings was one of

1119
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: my favorite moves, and I couldn't be more with you.

1120
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm just not as high on Josh Jacobs as some others.

1121
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: Have been really hot and cold season to season, and

1122
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: I absolutely think that was a steal from Minnesota and

1123
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay got worse at running back. I've actually liked

1124
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: what the Patriots have done.

1125
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up because I think it's

1126
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 5: almost been a little under the raidar. What a sea

1127
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 5: change it is that Elliott Wolf is running their team

1128
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 5: now and the philosophy that he brings from Green Bay

1129
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 5: is totally different. Even said they're changing their entire scouting

1130
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 5: language that they've had, so everything's going to be different.

1131
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 5: And that's just not a team that goes out there

1132
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 5: and spends crazy. So yes, Jerrod Mayo said that they

1133
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 5: had all this space to spend. I think they wanted to.

1134
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 5: Now look when we got a very competitive, good market,

1135
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 5: those are the types of deals. Actually, I would not

1136
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 5: have expected Bill Belichick to get done. So it did

1137
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 5: feel a little different that these players were coming back

1138
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 5: and then the Uce move just because we haven't hit

1139
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 5: it on this podcast is one of the craziest reported

1140
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 5: stories we've seen. That he literally had eleven million dollars

1141
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 5: guaranteed in a two year contract that he passed on

1142
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 5: for a one year, three million dollar contract with that

1143
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 5: can go up to eight incentives, which is wild. And

1144
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 5: you're seeing some buy in from the defensive players, especially

1145
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 5: on this team, of like maybe what Mayo's gonna do.

1146
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 5: But I thought, I think it's an ultimate bet on

1147
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 5: yourself moment that he's literally taking less money because he

1148
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 5: thinks he's gonna hit those incentives and more importantly, that

1149
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 5: he'll get to free agency next year, people say, like,

1150
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 5: bet on yourself passing on eight million dollars guaranteed, bet

1151
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 5: on yourself. I literally can't remember that happening, especially for

1152
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 5: a second round pick who's probably made what two three

1153
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 5: million dollars total in his entire career. It's almost unprecedented.

1154
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 5: Said now, I'm rooting a little extra for josh Ucci.

1155
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 5: I think it was a good movie. Had twelve and

1156
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 5: a half sacks two years ago.

1157
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 4: Good luck to him.

1158
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: Good luck.

1159
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, if I was his age, I'm serious. Agent wasn't thrilled.

1160
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: Does he have an agent? Yescause you could.

1161
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 5: Tell the way Tom p the Pell Raiser, tweeted it out,

1162
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 5: you could tell this is a rare case where a

1163
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 5: player went on their own and made the decision, like

1164
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 5: essentially he went against his agent's advice and did what

1165
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 5: he wanted to. I'm fine with the Patriot like they

1166
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 5: were in on really but they had a number. They

1167
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 5: weren't going to go too high, like what are they

1168
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 5: gonna do?

1169
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: Seven and ten?

1170
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 2: We we just we just came off a season where

1171
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: we were like, Okay, the Patriots need speed, they need

1172
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: they desperately need pieces. Where were their new quarterback's gonna

1173
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: be Yeah. The guy they've added is Antonio Gibson. Hmmm,

1174
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, all right, I don't know.

1175
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 3: A couple more minutes with Billy, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1176
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 3: combine two categories here. So best remaining player in your opinion,

1177
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 3: and let's tie that together with predictions for what's next,

1178
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 3: Bill Barnwell, who's a player that you you you're quite

1179
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 3: fond of that's on the market, uh, and a team

1180
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 3: that should be very interested in going after said player.

1181
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's let's go.

1182
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 3: Maybe not even a prediction, Bill, more just like in

1183
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: your mind, like what just makes so much sense?

1184
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: You know, for you, I'll throw a prediction out there.

1185
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead, not scared, go for it. I'd put

1186
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 2: a team out there. I think a Greek Armstead makes

1187
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 2: a lot of sense, a player who is really talented

1188
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: as a free technique San Francisco. It wasn't like he

1189
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: wasn't playing well, had some injury issues, but still is

1190
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 2: playing at a high level. I think they had some

1191
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 2: some cap concerns. Maybe they could be a little a

1192
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: little less expensive after adding Hargrave on the defensive line,

1193
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa's deal is hitting and that's a significant contracts

1194
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: and maybe they're cutting back a bit.

1195
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 5: I put a pin in this for one second, Bill,

1196
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 5: I hate to interrupt you. We actually have developing news

1197
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 5: on the Armstead situation. You are not allowed to look

1198
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 5: at your computer because it sounds like we know where

1199
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 5: he's gonna go.

1200
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: If you can.

1201
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 5: Guess what an opportun where he ends up landing. You

1202
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 5: actually win around the NFL podcast twenty twenty four.

1203
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: You're the like like those shows you're on ESPN. Here

1204
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: we go.

1205
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't win very often. I the team I was

1206
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 2: going to put out there was the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1207
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: Whoa are you serious? Stops? Did he get it? He

1208
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: gotta road? Who I told you on the podcast? What

1209
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: I told you this? This guy should be a GM

1210
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: But that's it. Time he sees things.

1211
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. I did not look

1212
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 2: they were my pick. I kind of figured if they

1213
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 2: got count seated, go for that kind of move it.

1214
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: Actually, he's a Northeastern graduate. He's got integrity for you.

1215
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: They don't have like a television directly in front of

1216
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: you that's off to the side. That okay, I and

1217
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 1: I believe you. I believe you because you're You're that's

1218
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: the ilk of type of the journalists that you are.

1219
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: You would have you've nailed that wonderful job.

1220
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: No, I would either have made a funny pick that

1221
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: was wrong as opposed to a card. So why is

1222
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 2: that such a great move? Now for the Jacks, they

1223
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,479
Speaker 2: made a couple of cots. Put it Hazio. They needed

1224
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: some pieces up front. They needed to make an addition

1225
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 2: to the defensive side of the ball. They are, you know,

1226
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 2: they're set on the edge with Walker and Josh Allen.

1227
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 2: They cut Darius Williams. I think they're gonna maybe address

1228
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 2: corner in the draft. But it kind of felt like

1229
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 2: once they lost Calvin Ridley, they had money to burn.

1230
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: I think they were budgeting to bring him back, and

1231
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: once they lost in Tennessee, they kind of had this

1232
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 2: big chunk of money, didn't really have a lot to

1233
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: do with it. It wasn't really any you know, a replacement

1234
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 2: for Ridley on the offensive side of the ball that

1235
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: made sense. They already signed Gabe Davis. I think they'll

1236
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 2: probably draft a wide receiver, but Armstead was the best

1237
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: player left and address the position of need for them.

1238
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: I think they were weak up front. I think they

1239
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 2: needed another piece on the interior arms s it's a

1240
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 2: great player. Thought it made a lot of sense.

1241
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: I love me. He's like six foot eight, could barely

1242
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: walk the fit through a door. Still playing well.

1243
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 5: He was actually the first large fifth highest graded interior

1244
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 5: pass rusher last year according to PFF. Just miss snaps

1245
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 5: for the first time and missed thirteen games over the

1246
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 5: last two years. It does remind me a little bit

1247
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 5: of though, the Rams signing Alan Robinson just because they

1248
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 5: had so much money when they couldn't get Von Miller

1249
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 5: that they just like, well, we got to spend that

1250
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 5: money the next day, and so that's the Jaguars do

1251
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 5: this with the Calvin Ridley money. But Armstead's a good player.

1252
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 2: But did they was Trent balky the guy who drafted

1253
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: Eric Armston?

1254
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: Ooh was he was?

1255
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 2: He still there?

1256
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: I believe he was. That was back in twenty fifteen,

1257
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: seventeenth over.

1258
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 5: I think Trent Balki lasted it until fifteen or sixteen.

1259
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 5: So you've really sleuthed it once again. You win, Yeah,

1260
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen he was there until So he did draft

1261
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 5: Eric ham said, you can often connect these little dots

1262
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 5: the well he can.

1263
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't.

1264
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,960

00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: other two people on this show.

1274
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,440

Speaker 3: was looking like was a a lot of trouble. And

1296
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 3: then they went in the tank and finished at eleven

1297
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,160

1328
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 4: Pretty good. Let's take a break and uh, let's finish

Speaker 2: So as Tom and I are reporting, we have a trade.

1334
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 5: It's always confusing to me which tweets you put both names,

1335
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 5: and then some tweets it's only one name. I don't

1336
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 5: know how that all works.

1337
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: He was second was.

1338
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 4: Greg Greg Rolls a doll on the air. NFL Network

1339
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 4: saying what.

1340
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: Needs to be shd that there's heat. I don't even

1341
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: need to say it.

1342
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 5: That clip if you re listen to it on the

1343
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 5: podcast or you or you watch it on YouTube. Tom

1344
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 5: starts to break the news. He has like a half second.

1345
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,959
Speaker 5: He starts speaking and Ian literally cuts him off.

1346
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: That's the game. But when we went down this avenue,

1347
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: that's the game back in Austin. Like I said that,

1348
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: there is a bit of a flashpoint focus elements and

1349
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: it's just mounting and growing and bubbling.

1350
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 3: Just we're just heading into draft season. This is all

1351
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 3: coming to a head. That's what flashpoint focus is all about. Yep,

1352
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 3: do we have another clip or is it we do it?

1353

Speaker 1: We do listen to that.

1354
00:59:55,040 --> 01:00:03,000

Speaker 1: Greg really quick before we let you go.

1356
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,080

01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 5: for vice.

1380
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 3: We would be comfortable if you want to join the RFK,

1381
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 3: take a just a sabbatical here, we'd be.

01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: It's like antlers.

1383
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 5: By the way, while I was saying that, I was like, oh,

1384
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 5: I'm clipping this for the show.

1385
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 3: Really good hell, good work. I like it all. Pell

1386
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 3: Raiser coming after you. He was trying to make a

1387
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 3: fool of you on live television.

1388
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 6: I could work on that backdrop. There's a lot going

1389
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 6: on it.

1390
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 5: It's not a it's not as smooth as some some

1391
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 5: out there.

1392
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 6: Dan's looks great, you know, Mark's is good.

1393
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Mine mine is about as stark as it gets. I'm

1394
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: still working on that space.

1395
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 3: The key to a good background, I find is to

1396
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 3: have more depth. But it's hard to have depth of

1397
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 3: space here in uh Los Angeles, right.

1398
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 5: I tried to talk Amica into I would set it

1399
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 5: up on the like that the camera would be showing

1400
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 5: the whole rest of the garage, and she thought that

1401
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 5: looked insane to show like the back of a garage.

1402
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Then there would be depth, Like, Greg, we get it,

1403
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 3: you're a feminist, like Liz pharised sitting on the shelf.

1404
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: We get it, dude. Well that's side champion.

1405
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 6: Birthday present from Liz says Happy birthday, Greg.

1406
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: It used to be in your bedroom. You could have

1407
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: switched that up.

1408
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 5: Big Wait, that's as signed Liz phari cit not only

1409
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 5: you know, individually signed uh. When she was a guest

1410
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 5: of the Tonight Show and I was a page there, right, I.

1411
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: Thought maybe she went to your wedding too.

1412
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a little bit of a past there,

1413
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 3: because there's more to it than just look at me.

1414
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 4: I mean'd give you I'm a champion.

1415
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 6: So Gabe Kapler is in the mix there back there,

1416
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 6: that's signed.

1417
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 3: Us that he is a a Jewish star of a

1418
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 3: Boston sports team.

1419
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 5: Who enter that who was batting? I believe eighth for

1420
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 5: some team in Japan? Uh and what I guess you

1421
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 5: could call it would be the first time I really

1422
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 5: ever met my wife Emica.

1423
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,479
Speaker 1: How about that Greg is relling autographs? Apparently I didn't

1424
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: realize that about him autograph hunting.

1425
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 3: I've seen him at the President elbowing sharp elbows to children.

1426
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Also get a lot of presents. It seems like a

1427
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 1: lot of people were giving you gifts left.

1428
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 5: Well, that was from the best man at our wedding.

1429
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 5: He brought us to that game. It was when we

1430
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 5: first met at it was your.

1431
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: Cousin who was stung by one hundred and twenty b's

1432
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: at the wedding? Did he give you?

1433
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 6: That was not at the wedding. That was when we

1434
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 6: were ten years old.

1435
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 5: In the breaking news Forrests of Wilbraham breaking.

1436
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: News, what was it again? I forgot?

1437
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 5: The Seahawks are acquiring Sam Howell Washington Commanders. They also

1438
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 5: get a fourth round and a sixth round pick in

1439
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 5: the deal the Commanders actually move up. I mean, man,

1440
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 5: if i'm Sam Howe, I'm like, wait, it's only a

1441
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 5: move up. The Commanders move up to the third and

1442
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 5: the fifth round of the draft. So essentially two pick

1443
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 5: swaps where the Commanders move up one round and the

1444
01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 5: Seahawks get Sam Howell for I'll say it virtually nothing.

1445
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of love it for Seattle.

1446
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 3: Oh well, it depends on your opinion of Sam Howell.

1447
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I actually think like that. I think it's good in business.

1448
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: I know that Gino Smith is just like likely your

1449
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: start at this point, but like McDonald, not good news

1450
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: for Gino Smith.

1451
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 5: It is good news Gino could have had a tougher competitor.

1452
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 5: I still think actually a rookie will be there too,

1453
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 5: and it might be one of those three headed battles

1454
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 5: where it was Remember it was like Whitehurst Russell Wilson,

1455
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 5: and was Matt Flynn there.

1456
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn and Matt Flynn had been the big free

1457
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: agent signing then lost his job.

1458
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 5: But if this is their veteran competition for Gino, you

1459
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 5: know he's he's gonna be over Sam Howise, certainly. And look,

1460
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 5: if you can just get a third year quarterback who's

1461
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 5: shown that he's decent, and all you have to do

1462
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 5: is move down twenty four spots from the third to

1463
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 5: the fourth round. I mean, sure, any cheap way to

1464
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 5: get a quarterback, I'll take it.

1465
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Solid trade.

1466
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's easy to forget now because he had

1467
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 3: such a disastrous second half. There were a real conversation

1468
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 3: about how being the answer there and watching now a

1469
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: regime change occurs, so all of a sudden, he's no

1470
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 3: longer a favorite son. But he absolutely torpedoed his future

1471
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 3: there with some reckless bad play. So he's looking to

1472
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 3: kind of become a more consistent player. Maybe he can

1473
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 3: get he's kind of got a little bit of Ryan

1474
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick DNA, and then maybe he can have opportunities along

1475
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 3: the way life.

1476
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: And thanks to his late season swoon, they won four

1477
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: games and are in position to get a new quarterback.

1478
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: True obviously the Greggy and the Pats there.

1479
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 5: It was a good I had to It was a

1480
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 5: lesson on stats don't lie, but they need context. I

1481
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 5: believe he was benched at the time that he was

1482
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 5: leading the NFL in passing yards. That's we're close to it.

1483
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 5: My son walked or maybe it was fantasy points or

1484
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 5: something among quarter because Walker was was blown away. He

1485
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 5: was like, how could they bench the guy that is

1486
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 5: leading the NFL in passing?

1487
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 4: He was throwing for an ass ton of passing yards?

1488
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 3: I remember that. All right, let's finish out the news.

1489
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 3: How many passing yards?

1490
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 4: Nast he was on pace for like a five thousand yards.

1491
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I love you know dirty words or phrases that are

1492
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: spun that way where it's like, that's not you just

1493
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: created a term.

1494
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 5: For the most part, thank you Randy for letting me

1495
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 5: know that Kapler was playing for the Yomi or he Giants.

1496
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 6: By the way, struggled badly.

1497
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Was kind of what's that mark to say that? I

1498
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: didn't say that. Heavens to Betsy, my grandmother used to

1499
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: say that. So that's rapid, yes.

1500
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 3: Like everyone that was born in eighteen ninety eight used

1501
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 3: to say that. All right, here we go, let's spin

1502
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 3: through the rest of the news. Here the Cowboys finally

1503
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 3: get in the mix. They signed Eric Kendricks to a deal.

1504
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 3: Kendricks had backed out of an agreement or it was

1505
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 3: heading toward.

1506
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Where was it? Yeah, he had agreed with the forty nine.

1507
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 3: Ers Niners, and he changes his mind and goes to

1508
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. The Raiders finally feels like it's been something

1509
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 3: that's been percolating for a couple of years.

1510
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Now.

1511
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 3: They say goodbye to Hunter renfro So they cut ties

1512
01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 3: with the slot receiver and Ronnie Stanley stays with Baltimore

1513
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 3: the guard. He gets a haircut, which means a pay cut,

1514
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 3: and they trade Morgan Moses to the Jets for a

1515
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 3: late pick swap. Actually, I like that trade for the

1516
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 3: Jets as well. That was a he was on the

1517
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 3: Jets then signed with the Ravens, now the Jets getting

1518
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 3: back for some late round picks.

1519
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: Anything on those moves. I like Stanley staying in Baltimore

1520
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: because they've lost offensive lineman, they've lost Patrick Queen, they've

1521
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: lost Geno Stone, they lost Ronald Darby. You know, it's

1522
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham's out the door. And you mentioned the Cowboys

1523
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: rimerently talked about it. I feel like everyone is so

1524
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of like we get it. But for the

1525
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones telling us that this is going to be

1526
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: like the all in team that gets super active. They've

1527
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: lost almost forty five hundred snaps in terms of personnel

1528
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: off the roster, and in some of those and key positions, they're.

1529
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 3: In a tricky financial place, and I think that's playing

1530
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 3: into They got this dack thing hanging over the team.

1531
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 3: You got the CD Lamb contract hanging over the team.

1532
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 3: You got you know, Michah Parsons down the road. I

1533
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 3: think get they run any kind of in a tough

1534
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 3: spot a little bit.

1535
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, they also had I don't know if it was

1536
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 5: ever confirmed that it was actually Tyrone Smith's a Twitter

1537
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 5: account that was like saying, call me up, Cowboys, I

1538
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 5: don't really want to leave. I also think though the

1539
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 5: Cowboys do have a heart. There is a draft analyst

1540
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 5: out there by the name of like Connor Connor NFL

1541
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 5: draft analyst, and he said he's a big Cowboys fan,

1542
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 5: apparently that he would start doing meth if the if

1543
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 5: the Cowboys don't freaking sign a free agent in the

1544
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 5: next hour, And within that hour they signed Eric Kendrick.

1545
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 5: So I think they saw that out there and they wanted.

1546
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: To save somebody. Yeah, that's that's that is That's a

1547
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: caring move.

1548
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 3: Tyrone Smith, by the way, veteran left tackle thirty three

1549
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 3: years old, coming off a big season with them. He

1550
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 3: was He's always been a really talented, uh you know,

1551
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 3: borderline Hall of Fame level talent for the Cowboys. I'm

1552
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 3: surprised he doesn't have a hotter market. He's hanging out

1553
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 3: there still. Maybe does that have a hot market. He's

1554
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 3: just taking his time to make the decisions. But like

1555
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 3: nudging the Cowboys and be like, hey, guys, you want

1556
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 3: to think this over two weeks after it was widely

1557
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 3: reported that they.

1558
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Were moving on.

1559
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 3: I kind of love if there's some type of red flags,

1560
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,759
Speaker 3: you know some I think medical history.

1561
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 5: He's not getting the contract that he was hoping for,

1562
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 5: some big guaranteed money, and teams must be worried about

1563
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:19,919
Speaker 5: the injuries.

1564
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, can you understand, like I do, get the

1565
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: I kind of want to just stay with the Cowboys

1566
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: in Dallas because it's annoying to move.

1567
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm sure he could get a move.

1568
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 3: At least it seems fun to play for the Cowboys.

1569
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 3: I know, Cowboys. I hate the Cowboys. Don't want to

1570
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 3: hear that. But you're on Prime time all the time,

1571
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 3: You're treated well by ownership, You're in a beautiful stadium,

1572
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 3: everybody's always watching.

1573
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: You probably live.

1574
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 5: On a ranch, although Schultz pointed out how state income

1575
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 5: tax Dalton Schultz pointed out how sometimes when you're working out,

1576
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 5: they are like taking tours past you and they can

1577
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 5: see through the glass to you working out, and he

1578
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 5: was just like, what's you know, kind of reminded me

1579
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 5: of your situation mark where the doors are going by

1580
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 5: your Now imagine that, except you're doing like squats and whatnot.

1581
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 5: I mean, the last thing I think you would want is.

1582
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a little difference between me doing squats

1583
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,520
Speaker 1: and Dalton Schultz here. It was impressive.

1584
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 3: You're saying like you're concerned you might you know, be

1585
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 3: for something when you're doing squats and someone.

1586
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 5: I just mean, like, you don't want people staring at

1587
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 5: you while you're lifting, you know, doing weights and stuff.

1588
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 3: And you got you know, that's certainly a consequence as well. Potentially, Yeah, you're.

1589
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Right, that's one of the that's that's that's that could

1590
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: happen to you. That would be problematic.

1591
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 4: Go to Terry Blacks right before middle school class.

1592
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: They keep they must have nowhere else to go because

1593
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: they've gone back and forth.

1594
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 3: I should at times journalistically, a downside of playing for

1595
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 3: the Cowboys is that you physically cannot advance past the

1596
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 3: divisional round of the playoffs.

1597
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 1: But there's a little bit of a yeah, but your

1598
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: off season starts sooner.

1599
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 4: Glass ceiling as well.

1600
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: It's true.

1601
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,839
Speaker 5: You don't really get paid extra for the playoffs. It's sneaky,

1602
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 5: it's true, I mean a little bit.

1603
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

1604
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 3: In other news, Willie Gay goes to the Saints. The

1605
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 3: Bucks bring Jordan I'd had the safety back home after

1606
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 3: a couple of years with the Jets. The Bengals get

1607
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 3: Sheldon Rankins, who I've always liked Von Bell.

1608
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: They cut ties with Nick Scott.

1609
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 5: Also, while we were taping, the Lions picked up DJ Reader,

1610
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 5: who is coming off a torn quad, but it was

1611
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 5: a very good player when he is healthy, to a

1612
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 5: pretty sizey contract. Some of these contracts for defensive lineman

1613
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 5: Rangkins is a good example, went way up. Like he's

1614
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 5: a guy that Williams injuries. They had been signing like

1615
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 5: one year. Yeah, I know, torn quads. I'm surprised that

1616
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 5: I want to look at the particulars if they have

1617
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 5: some protection injury wise, because you're often not the same

1618
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 5: player off a torn quad. But Rankings got two for

1619
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 5: twenty six Like that just shows how much cap spaces

1620
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 5: out there because he's the same player. He's a very

1621
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 5: good player, the same player as he's been the last

1622
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 5: couple of years, but now is getting almost like double

1623
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 5: the money that he was getting from Houston or from

1624
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 5: the Jets.

1625
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 3: Should be clear that Adams had a torn quad tendon,

1626
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:55,679
Speaker 3: which is different than the muscle.

1627
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 4: So I think it's the tendon.

1628
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 3: Is the one where it's like, uh oh, maybe in

1629
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 3: the muscle terrors not quite as we're boding. All right,

1630
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 3: that's what's happening in the news.

1631
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: You get everything. Well, I think we had a couple

1632
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: of predictions ye out there.

1633
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, let's go, let's cycle back to that.

1634
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 3: So I asked the Bill to offer a prediction, and

1635
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 3: not only in real time did he offer a sound one.

1636
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 3: It was confirmed via the news seconds later that he

1637
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,440
Speaker 3: was correct in uh uh getting.

1638
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: Who was it?

1639
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 3: It was to the Jaguars, Eric, Eric Armstead, So Eric Armstead,

1640
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,480
Speaker 3: So Brian.

1641
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: He just had a stroke. Mark.

1642
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 3: I don't know who Brian is. Mark, who could be Brian?

1643
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 3: If you give us a prediction.

1644
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: So, Mike Williams, I've been looking around at a couple

1645
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: of these wide out rooms, and I think Mike Williams.

1646
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: I think the former owner of this team would have

1647
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: liked the Mike Williams concept a lot. But the Las

1648
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders right now have DeVante Adams who are there

1649
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: obviously this, you know, I don't think the idea of

1650
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: the trading him is gone because they got behind him. Yeah,

1651
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers. And then you've got guys like Trey Tucker,

1652
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: DJ Turner and Christian Wilkerson. They have nothing at wide receivers.

1653
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: So I feel like Mike Williams to Las Vegas, you know,

1654
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 1: in your in the same division. It kind of takes

1655
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: away from the Chargers, Adds to the Raiders they need

1656
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and right Church, wrong Pew.

1657
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 3: Why so it's so on brand for where this team

1658
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 3: is right now, and this player, Odell wants to play

1659
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 3: in Vegas. Odell Beckham to the Raiders, I guess better

1660
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 3: a little more money than you think.

1661
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: You're Odell though, and you literally shredded your relationship in

1662
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland because of what you can deemed to be and

1663
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: your father deemed to be shaky quarterback play. Do you

1664
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: sign up with a team that right now is Gardner

1665
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.

1666
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 4: He'll go who offers him money.

1667
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 3: At this point, I could just see the Raiders being

1668
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 3: wanting to get in the Odell business.

1669
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Put it that way. I mean, we went angle the Super.

1670
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 3: Bowl at uh in Vegas this year. You know, did

1671
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 3: the walk around the concourse. I always like to do

1672
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 3: that and see what these stadiums look at. Beautiful facility,

1673
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 3: Allegiance Stadium. But the Raiders are insane with who they retire,

1674
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 3: the numbers they retire. They retired Randy Moss's number.

1675
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: They didn't retire his number.

1676
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 5: They had He's in the ring of whatever they had

1677
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 5: they had.

1678
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 6: I guess what it was that didn't even go.

1679
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 5: Well, it was like any raider that has ever made

1680
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame gets their picture even though they

1681
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 5: count they counted Jerry Rice as a Raider to.

1682
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 3: Come on, Well, that's actually tricky because Beckham he should

1683
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 3: be he should be going to the Hall of Fame,

1684
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 3: but he just kind of his career he didn't. Injuries

1685
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 3: played a role, but he never reached the full potential

1686
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 3: of what he was, which was a beautiful, perfect wide

1687
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 3: receiver early in his career. So but I still like

1688
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 3: they love big name brands. They always have al loved it.

1689
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 3: His son Mark loves it. So that's my prediction.

1690
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 5: I'm going to go with the trade. I'm going to

1691
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:53,520
Speaker 5: go with Marshawn Lattimore go into the New England Patriots

1692
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 5: in a deal. I think Ron Wolf I feel better.

1693
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 5: It feels like there's an adult in the room now

1694
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 5: with the Patriots in terms of how to run a team.

1695
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 5: And I think their defense looks quite good on paper,

1696
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 5: and they're going to look for any value and they

1697
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 5: can afford it.

1698
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: Like they didn't.

1699
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 5: They didn't find the right players to spend a lot

1700
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 5: of money. But Marshawn Lattimore, let's say you give up like.

1701
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: A when there's some there's something about Latimore hit hitting the.

1702
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 5: I think Latimore is going to get traded at some point.

1703
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 5: Uh maybe maybe what happened the next week, Maybe it

1704
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 5: would happened closer to the draft, but you might be

1705
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 5: able to get away with giving up like a third

1706
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 5: round pick for Lattimore or maybe I don't know.

1707
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: You know what's going you know Greg's gonna nail this

1708
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,879
Speaker 1: and then ours are gonna go by the wayside.

1709
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 3: That's all. That's that's all. The earth is a new year,

1710
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 3: New Year. It's a new chance for us. How about

1711
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 3: I believe it was a draft class mate. Was Alva,

1712
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 3: Kamara and Latimore in the same class.

1713
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I think that's right.

1714
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 3: Both that Mega twenty seventeen class that revitalized Sean Payton's

1715
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 3: career in New Orleans. How about another Saints Oneamara up

1716
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,840
Speaker 3: to Denver read team with Sean Payton, Peyton trying to

1717
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 3: trying to kind of get some elements that are familiar

1718
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 3: to him as he looks to reboot the machine posts

1719
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 3: Russ truly in his vision, and it's not gonna cost

1720
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 3: you much because I think Kamorrow at this stage won't

1721
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 3: command something big, so like Kamara for a fifth round or.

1722
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: Something like that, wow, fourth rounder. Maybe how about this one?

1723
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: The g men and Justin Fields after a bunch of

1724
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: no one really wants them, we get it. Like at

1725
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: this point, I'm wondering if the Bears just hold on

1726
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: to him, it's like he's not a child. If they

1727
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: draft a rookie, they can coexist. And then when a

1728
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: team has like their star quarterback have his knee destroyed,

1729
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,679
Speaker 1: like in Week three, Justin Field's value goes up because

1730
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: right now his value is very low. But the g

1731
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: men feel or even the Patriots feel like a potential fit.

1732
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

1733
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 5: If I was the Bears and I don't get offered

1734
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 5: anything better than like a fourth and I feel shaky

1735
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 5: during the draft, then I would rather just keep Justin

1736
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 5: Fields and make everyone be a grown up and maybe

1737
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 5: he'll get traded later on.

1738
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 3: I think that's a good one. I don't know about

1739
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 3: to the Giants because there just there aren't that many

1740
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 3: teams that make sense for Justin Fields. The Giants are

1741
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 3: done with Daniel Jones after this season. They get Drew Locke,

1742
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 3: but true Locke is it? But if you hold on

1743
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 3: to them, yeah, that makes sense. I think we'll be

1744
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 3: telling if you see the Bears add another backup to

1745
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 3: the room in the coming days and weeks, that they

1746
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 3: might be thinking about keeping Fields and then having someone

1747
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 3: in the building when they move fields.

1748
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,679
Speaker 1: Maybe in October you just can't have I think Justin

1749
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: Fields is a tricky QB two because any I think

1750
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: what fans love them. I know these teams don't seem

1751
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: to love them or something about them, but like teammates do.

1752
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: Teammates do? But like if Justin Fields is sitting behind

1753
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: any quarterback, that's struggling on any level. It's like there's

1754
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem for the coaching staff.

1755
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 6: We still got stuff out there, but not as much.

1756
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 6: It was fast. The insiders were talking, you know, as

1757
01:17:59,200 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 6: part of their.

1758
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 3: Seemed today you were on the program today, did did

1759
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 3: did they seem to let you in?

1760
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 4: Or was there was there any coldness to it?

1761
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 1: Like? How was it?

1762
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 5: I mean it was they let me in. Certainly they

1763
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 5: were friendly. I mean it was pretty much whatever interactions

1764
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 5: we had was on the air, because you know, it

1765
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:22,520
Speaker 5: wasn't too much before that. But yes, they were great,

1766
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 5: and they were talking about how this really was the

1767
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 5: fastest moving I don't know how they could prove this,

1768
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,759
Speaker 5: but the fastest moving free agency that had ever happened

1769
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 5: in terms of the most players and the most signings

1770
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 5: coming off the board.

1771
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 1: The faster fast. Yeah, because people have been tampering for

1772
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: like forty five days. I don't want to hear about

1773
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: this idea that that's you know, cone of silence until

1774
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 1: this false deadline is ushered in.

1775
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 5: I've got eleven players left off of my top one

1776
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 5: O one and that was the top one on one

1777
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 5: for Monday. If you had gone back to the original

1778
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 5: less to be way, way way.

1779
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: People are tracking it at this at this pace, Greg,

1780
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: I know they're looking at every transaction on the NFL

1781
01:18:58,600 --> 01:18:59,560
Speaker 1: dot com website.

1782
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 3: Didn't get him a chip, should have gotten into a

1783
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 3: super Bowl, but they got robbed by the officials. But

1784
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 3: that twenty seventeen Saints draft class Marshawn Lattimore first round,

1785
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 3: Ryan Ramcheck first round, Marcus Williams second round, Alvin Kamara

1786
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 3: third round, Ray Hendrickson, third round, Alex Anzeloni and the

1787
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 3: sixth pick.

1788
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 1: The Saints have also had a couple of disastrous first

1789
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: round selections in.

1790
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 6: That is that it really is an all time draft, ultimate.

1791
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: Reset that whole organization with Drew Brees.

1792
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 5: Finally, I mean Hendrickson's the third round pick, Muhammed, Actually

1793
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 5: you meant just mentioned as this. Even the sixth round

1794
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,520
Speaker 5: pick had a nice career who ended up being in Indianapolis.

1795
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: But like that's it's a crazy draft. It's like Mickey

1796
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 1: Loomis actually is focused on the team at Verse Junk

1797
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: it was back then.

1798
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 5: You know who's playing well right now? The Pelicans. I

1799
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 5: guess that's our time to.

1800
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, whenever the Pelicans come up.

1801
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 3: All right, thank you everybody, We'll be back on Friday

1802
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 3: if something warrants it.

1803
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: But don't hold your breath.

1804
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 4: It's gotta be big, gotta be. We had for president.

1805
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 6: We had a Deshaun Watson one a couple.

1806
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Of years ago. He's not stealing my Friday. He's a

1807
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: call

1808
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 7: H
