1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten touched up.

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: What's Up?

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Guys. Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly,

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: as always, joined by the voice of the Chargers man

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Money Smith. Super Bowl Week. Don't really want to talk

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: about the game, Money Eagles Chiefs, Right, we didn't want

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: this matchup.

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: I mean no, this is the matchup that we got.

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: The matchup we wanted Commander's Bills is not what it

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: ended up being. But you know what, you think back

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: to the I was thinking about this, You think back

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 3: to that last Super Bowl and went a great super Bowl.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: It was a couple of years ago, and then I

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: remember the way it ended with the penalty, and I

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: was like, oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot it was

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: a third and eight and the Eagles might have had

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: an opportunity to win that game, but no, there's a

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: flag and the Chiefs win. So yes, it was again

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: just remarkable that the I saw funny tweet earlier today

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: that said, yes, mister bookmaker would like to take the

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: money line and the Eagles for the first fifty eight

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: minutes of the game.

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: It's like, that's pretty much mean know how this is

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: gonna go.

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen. Then you know, the Chargers have

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: to deal with this Kansas City Chiefs team who is

27
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: on the verge of a three peat and h we

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: ask for questions, We got like forty questions. So I

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll get to start burning man, but

30
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: we started burning through him. A lot to do with

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: just the rumors out there with free agency in the

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: draft and how the Charges could eventually surpass those Chiefs.

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: But let's just start with some of the big news

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: this week. You know, Miles Garrett requested a trade. Yeah,

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: so I think that means all thirty one teams are interested.

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: This is from Bandar. Would you let go of Mac

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and Bosa to get Miles Garrett? And then number two?

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Is our cap space enough for Slater new contract plus

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett plus T Higgins? So a lot first of all,

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: a lot of T Higgins and Miles Garrett rumor questions.

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: Let's just hit those.

42
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Let's just hit those now.

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: So one to answer the question about cap, absolutely, they've

45
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: they've got plenty of room for all those guys, for Garrett,

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: for Higgins, for Slater. And then some remember, you you

47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: can build contract however you want. It's you know, you

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: can front load it, you can backload it, you can

49
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: do a bigger signing bonus, you can do guarantees that

50
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: are easily attained that help you massage that. You can

51
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: rework contracts to lower their numbers that are already on

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: the books. So there's a million ways to get around that.

53
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: But just the simple answer to that is, yeah, they

54
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: could totally absorb you know, three salaries in the average

55
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: you know, annual average of twenty eight to thirty one

56
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: million dollars, which is what you're talking about with Garrett,

57
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: Slater and Higgins, and be fine because the first year

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: is not going to be thirty one minutes. It's not

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: how it works. You know, they're backloaded. And the idea

60
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: is you're either going to re you know, you're going

61
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: to restructure, you're going to redo a deal, all of

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: those sort of things to make it all work when

63
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: you kick it down the road. So that's number one

64
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: two to the Miles Garrett question. Yeah, he's he's the

65
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: best defensive player in football. So you said it, Chris,

66
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: all thirty one teams are gonna line up. I would

67
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: assume I heard our friend DJ, and it's funny. I

68
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: was thinking the exact same thing as I was listening

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: to his pod. Because the good news for a team

70
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: like the Chargers. I don't think the Browns want capital

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: for twenty five. You know, it's not a quarterback draft,

72
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: so I could totally see them if that dual Carter's there,

73
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: take him, Travis Hunter, take him, t Mac take him.

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean there's a number of ways they could go

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: Mason Graham like, just and load up for next year

76
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: like they want next year because next year, Arch Manning like,

77
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: you're you're talking about a quarterback draft. So Chargers could

78
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: still keep their one this year, offer up future twenty

79
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: twenty six, you know, one and how it's one to one,

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: if it's two ones, if it's a one and two

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: two something like that, it lines up, so you know,

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: and then the third part of it, would you get

83
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 3: rid of Mac and Bosa? I don't think those two

84
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: things are are necessarily joined together. I think, you know,

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: they definitely want him back, so see if they can

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: make that work. And Bosa, you know, is right now

87
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: with thirty six million dollar number. That's something that's going

88
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: to have to get figured out.

89
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Ye Andrew Barry is playing to write whether or not

90
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: he wants to drive or let go of Miles Garrett.

91
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: He says he doesn't, right, Yeah, so that means that

92
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the price is going to go up. And for some reason,

93
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if the Browns are really

94
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna trade him in the conference. I think if he

95
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: goes anywhere and maybe the NFC, and it's going to

96
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: be a lot of picks, and there's there's just other

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: teams with ammunition that I think maybe superior to the

98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: Chargers in terms of cap Listen, you can give up anything.

99
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you could kick picks down the road. I'd

100
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: love to see Miles Garrett and powdered Blue, no doubt.

101
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: I just don't know the likelihood of that happening. When

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: you see other teams in the conference or in the

103
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: NFC rather that may have more cap space, that may

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: have more picks to give, And at that point it's like,

105
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: all right, well, what does Cleveland do? I agree with you,

106
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: though I do think that they need to on this year.

107
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: If they draft up Dual Carter in the top three,

108
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: there's your Miles Garrett Michael Parsons clone. But I I

109
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: just don't know where Miles Garrett is going to go.

110
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: I I would think the NFC would be the more

111
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: likely NINGX spot.

112
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: Now, No, I think to me, it's just it's not

113
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: gonna be in division, Like it's not gonna be Cincinnati, Baltimore,

114
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh right once. You just if you're just trading him

115
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: in conference, you know, think about the Chiefs trade and

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins. It's like, Okay, we might

117
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: see in the playoffs, we might see you, you know

118
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: once every few years. It's it's not as big of

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: a deal.

120
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: It's the best thing.

121
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I think it's who's gonna come up?

122
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: And you know, that's where the question comes in. If

123
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: you're a team like Detroit and you feel like you're

124
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: a piece away, and it's like, if we can pair

125
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: Aiden Hutchinson with Miles Garrett to go with our offense

126
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: and all of these weapons in Jumior Gibbs and Saint

127
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: Brown and Laporte in this offensive line, and like they

128
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: may just give up three ones or something like that.

129
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: So that's to me, that's the bigger competition is what

130
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: is someone willing to give up for someone who clearly

131
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: demonstrated man he plays football unlike I mean, unlike ninety

132
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: nine percent of the people in the league. He is

133
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: a true difference maker.

134
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Let's keep this theme going and I'm gonna just kind

135
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: of bundle some questions together power GOA. Is Cooper Cup

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: an option, Richard? Do you think we land DK and

137
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Higgins or just one of them? Okay, So just to

138
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: kind of to put a button on the wide receiver rumors.

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: First of all, Cooper Cup, I think there's a reason

140
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: why the Rams are trading him because they think he's

141
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: lost a step and he's got a pretty big cap number.

142
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: So I don't think that they're going to be able

143
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: to just straight up trade him. They're gonna have to

144
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: pay some of this salary, and at that point, I'd

145
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: prefer to have keenan Allen over Cooper Cup. As far

146
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: as T. Higgins is concerned, that's another guy who There's

147
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: five or six teams in the league that are wide

148
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: receiver desperate with a lot of cap space. I don't

149
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: know if the Chargers one of those teams it's going

150
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: to pay thirty million dollars for T. Higg If I

151
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: could be wrong, I just don't know if that's going

152
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: to be realistic. I think a DK Metcalf trade or

153
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: a Tyreek kill trade or a trade of a veteran

154
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: that has maybe a smaller cap number, a little bit

155
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: of a smaller cap number with a couple of years left,

156
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: maybe the more realistic avenue. But I'm curious to hear

157
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: your thought.

158
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: Sure.

159
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Popper and I got into this last week

160
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: pretty extensively, and we both you know, for lack of

161
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: a better term, just you know, got ear to ear

162
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: grins when it comes to Higgins. He's just he's too perfect,

163
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: he's young, he's exactly he is the exact piece that

164
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: would fit into this wide receiver room where Lattice in

165
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: the slot. T is your ex Now Q can be

166
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: your Z. Q is never your downfield fifty to fifty

167
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: guy because T is one of the best in the

168
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: league at that. So you have that and Q can

169
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: get back to doing what he's really good at, and

170
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: that's you know, using him in motion and those quick

171
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: hitters and those slants and you know, the things that

172
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: really he excelled at all season long, as opposed to

173
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: asking him to kind of you know, fit into you know,

174
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: to drive in a lane that's not necessarily a strength

175
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: when he has other strengths. Is T Higgins is that guy.

176
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: He can beat press, he's fast, he's he is a

177
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: nightmare for defensive backs because he's a giant. I mean,

178
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: he is a massive human being and he's twenty five.

179
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: So like that's the other Like Cooper Cup is on

180
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: the other side of thirty, Tyreek Hill is on the

181
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: other side of thirty situations with situation with DK, and

182
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: like here's the thing with t is he can.

183
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Choose the Chargers.

184
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: You know, the Seahawks have power over where Dick DK

185
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: goes because it's gonna have to come with a you know,

186
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: with with the right package. So the same thing with Tyreek.

187
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: You know, that's a trade. So you now have to

188
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: give up assets, draft capital to go get them. The

189
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: team has to be willing to engage with Tea is

190
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: just I want to win a Super Bowl. I'm gonna

191
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: catch pass from Joe Burrow. I'm gonna go catch him

192
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: from Justin Herbert. I saw what he and Mike Williams

193
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: did and those downfield balls, and I got Ladmac running

194
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: underneath and and you know, dealing. They got to deal

195
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: with him in the slot. So you can't double both

196
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: of us. It could lead you know. So that's The

197
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: thing about Tea as far as DK goes, you know,

198
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: he'll probably want an extension. So he's going in the

199
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: last year of his deal. So when you trade for him,

200
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: you're also going to now have that conversation of what

201
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: would you pay T Higgins versus what are you willing

202
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: to pay DK Metcalf and how does all of that

203
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: line up? But if you know and look and if

204
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: those two things don't work out, you know, the thing

205
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: with Cooper Cup is he just he works out of

206
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: the slot.

207
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: That's what he does.

208
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: He's a big slot, you know, like Keenan was a

209
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: big slot, and and that's kind of where you're at.

210
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: And you're talking about someone who has missed a lot

211
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: of games and feels feels like he's, you know, a

212
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: pretty pretty good distance away from the triple crown year

213
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one.

214
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: If T Higgins is available, would would you pay him thirty.

215
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: More whatever he wants?

216
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

217
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, to me, that's that's my That would be my

218
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: absolute number one priority because it just it changes everything,

219
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 3: It sets everything up. You cannot crowd the box with

220
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 3: him because look what they did the lad in the

221
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: Houston game. Like when you think about Lad and how

222
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: effective he became once he really hit his stride, and

223
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: teams were just committing all these resources to him because

224
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: they knew there was they just weren't. They didn't feel

225
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: they had to really commit resources anywhere else. It's like,

226
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: we've got to stop this guy. So now imagine Ladd

227
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: with none of that ever, because you can't do it

228
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: with tea, you just you can't. He will torch one

229
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: on one coverage. So all of that falls into place

230
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: if that's the guy that you signed, So to me,

231
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: it would be my after Rashaan Slater gets his extension

232
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: squared away, next in line would be t Higgins. And

233
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: then look again, he's got thirty thirty one other teams

234
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: that he can choose and that may not line up.

235
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: That nothing against Joe Ortiz and the charges that they

236
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: don't land him, But I would imagine their looking at

237
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: that and saying, you know, the exact same thing, like,

238
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: let's figure out a way and look, Cincinnati may just

239
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: give him another franchise tag and say screw it, we're

240
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: gonna eat it.

241
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: Let's see That's what Burrow. Burrow was on First Take

242
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: this morning and said that we need to find a

243
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: way to keep everybody. Yeah, and that's easier said than done,

244
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: especially if if you're the Bengals and you have Jamar Chase,

245
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: who's going.

246
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: To have to it's gonna make thirty five million bus.

247
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the best, Yeah, the highest paid receiver

248
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: of football. So how can you give two guys a similar.

249
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: Let's oh they can't.

250
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: It's possible. It's just hope they can't.

251
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: But they're gonna try because He's like, it's I mean,

252
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 3: that's the Cincinnati offense.

253
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: That's that's what it is.

254
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: It's you know, when you think about when it was Boyd,

255
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: Higgins and Chase, they were unstoppable. And that's kind of

256
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: the vision that I have, you know, with think about

257
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: what that looked like when you put Higgins here. Well,

258
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: now it's Higgins, Maconkey and Q, and you know you

259
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: can get there, You can get to a similar place.

260
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: It goes to that that that five year window that

261
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: they had with with all those guys on rookie contracts, right,

262
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: they got to a super Bowl because of it, and

263
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: then how quickly things change with economics and and now

264
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any possible way that te Higgins

265
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: goes back to Cincinnati at that number, knowing that you

266
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: have to give Jamar Chase something, so that gives the

267
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Charges a lot of hope in terms of getting a

268
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: guy like that. From a tight end perspective, this is

269
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: from yeah, hey, br what's the Charger's biggest need outside

270
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: of wide receiver? This offseason? Seems like tight end is

271
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: a need. But the tight ends they had last season

272
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: were decent. Where do you fall in line as far

273
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: as tight ends are concerned.

274
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: It's a good draft. It's a good draft for really

275
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: good draft.

276
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Free agency not so much.

277
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: No, there's no one in free I think Cocklan's like

278
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: the number one guy in free agency. So now there

279
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: are some rumors that George Kittle may be made available,

280
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: you know, so that there's always the trade market. And

281
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: obviously Kittle is like your prototypical Jim Harbaugh ge or

282
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: T style tight end, right, someone that can block effectively

283
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: but is also an incredible receiver downfield. Those guys are

284
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: hard to find, so you happen to have two of

285
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: them in the draft.

286
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: You have.

287
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: You know, Tyler Warren will not be there at twenty two.

288
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: We'll see if Colston Lovelin is.

289
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: That's where DJ has them mocked now to the Chargers.

290
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, so you see that, And it's

291
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: funny because he always points out, you know, the the

292
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: top fifty are how I value guys based on you know,

293
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: those are my evaluations when I watched film and I

294
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: put my board together. This is my board one through fifty.

295
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: The mock draft is what I think teams will do,

296
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: like what their needs are, how their front office operates,

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: the positions they invest in in the first round, those

298
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: sort of things. So he's got Colston Lovelin as his

299
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 3: number seven player that he's evaluated, and yet he's got

300
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: them going all the way down at twenty two. And

301
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: to me, you know, the situation in Vegas doesn't help

302
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: the Chargers out, Like I think when you see and

303
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: neither of these guys, they're both really really good.

304
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: They're not Rock Bauers. Nobody is.

305
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: That's why we were talking about them two years ago

306
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: before the draft. But I think you saw that production

307
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: and what a tight end can do even on an

308
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: offense that didn't have a running game, that didn't have

309
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: a quarterback, that had a leaky offensive line, that really

310
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: had s Jacobe Myers and nobody. And here's brock Bauers

311
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: going for twelve hundred yards and six touchdowns and breaking

312
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: records all over the place. And that's the sort of

313
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: vision general managers can have for those two. Now you look,

314
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: you know, kind of coming out of Senior Bowl and

315
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: you're starting to feel pretty good about that group. I know,

316
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: Mason Taylor's got a ton of buzz right now. So

317
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: you could, you know, if you don't if neither of

318
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: those guys makes it to you in the first round,

319
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: I think you can realistically, as I'm kind of looking

320
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: through it now, Gunner Helm, Elijah Royo, they're all like

321
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: it's a deep class down to even Harrold Fannin from

322
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: Bowling Green Ferguson from Oregon, Jess, I'm looking at this.

323
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: I mean, how many guys is that? That's six guys? One, two, three, four, five,

324
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 3: say that's seven guys. So if it's not Lovelin, but

325
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: I think the to the point that you know, the

326
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: person is that, who is it that's asking the question?

327
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: It was uh whatever, Hey yeah, hey, yeah he be

328
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: okay that you're making is I think it's a position

329
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: that needs to be addressed.

330
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, we'll Disley fantastic year. I had a fantastic year,

331
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: awesome here. Probably thought he wasn't going to catch the

332
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: ball as much as he did. You know, hate hers

333
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: had unfortunate injury luck. We had a question about Stone

334
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Smart in here, and we may as well just get

335
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: to it now as we're on the subject at tight

336
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: end Fernie Junior. Should we expect to see more of

337
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Stone Smart?

338
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: I hope so.

339
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: I hope so as well.

340
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's been a developmental player since he

341
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: arrived a quarterback, you know, on old dominion. So you're

342
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: talking about someone that's continuingly you know, it's continuing to

343
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: understand the position, learn the position. I love Stone Smart

344
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: when he's on the field. Man, he's you know, he's

345
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: an exceptional receiver. He's got crazy athleticism. And you know,

346
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: another year with this coaching staff, Coach Bischoff and you know,

347
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh. I think you're talking about

348
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: continuing to build up your blocking ability and to have

349
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: that sort of athleticism, you know, as that third tight end,

350
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: you know, with Disley and whoever that draft pick is

351
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: going to be and Smart, I think that's a really

352
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: good tight end room.

353
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, this is our guy Sean parmin Or. Where

354
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: do you think the priority for the roster is this offseason?

355
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: Draft or free agency? Who are the highest priority internal

356
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: free agents? Thanks fellas well. Both are going to be

357
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: equally weighted. Yeah, in terms of draft of free agency.

358
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: You know, internal, there's a ton of guys. There's a

359
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: ton of guys who are on one year deals. I

360
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: think JK. Dobbins is somebody we have to look at strongly.

361
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: A guy like Elijah Molden is Denzel free agent Denzel.

362
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean guys who made immediate impacts, really impactful players

363
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: in Jim Harball's first year that are going to be

364
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agents. And as far as the drafts is concerned,

365
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, gosh, you saw what happened in the fifth

366
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: round last year, getting all in Mconkeye in the first

367
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: two picks. I mean what Joe Ortiz did. Just you know,

368
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: you mirror that to this year. There's gonna be tons

369
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: of guys that they draft that will make immediate contribution.

370
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, both are very.

371
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: Important, Yeah, no doubt. And look, they're gonna have a

372
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: lot more picks this year. I think they're based on

373
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: the comp formula. Looks like they're gonna have ten, so

374
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna have more picks than you had last year.

375
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: Not only did they draft great players, but they maneuvered

376
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: the board perfectly. You know, they decided that it wasn't

377
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: worth sliding back. Stock took Alt's top ten tackle in

378
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: the league now after a rookie season, and you pair

379
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 3: them with Slater and now you've got your foundation there,

380
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: and then they're able to move up in the second

381
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 3: round to make sure they didn't, you know, and it's

382
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 3: just three picks, but you're willing to give up a

383
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 3: five to go up the three or at least swap

384
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: and you know, lose thirty seven spots there. And obviously

385
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: we saw it in action, you know, in New England

386
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: and what Lad was able to do. So it's clearly

387
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: a front office with Joe Ortiz and Chad Alexander and

388
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: that whole crew, you know, James Fierson and Kevin Kelly,

389
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: and they're just so good at what they do and

390
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 3: evaluating talent. So yeah, Cam Hart, you know, Tarib still starter, starter,

391
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: Joe Walt starter, Lad McConkey starter. Don't know what Junior

392
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: could have been because of the injury unfortunately, but maybe

393
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 3: projected started I'm assuming, yeah, this coming year, that's gonna

394
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: be a pretty special tantem. So to be able to

395
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: pull that many starters out of one single draft, Yeah,

396
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: that's going to be a priority. As far as free

397
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: agency goes, Yeah, Look that they had last year was

398
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 3: so different than this year because they were so far

399
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: over the cap that they had to sign all of

400
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: these one year deals. That's all they could afford. That

401
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: was the market that they were shopping in. So it's

402
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 3: one year proven deals for JK for Puna, for Elijah

403
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 3: for you know, the trades that they made for Christian Fulton,

404
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: like all these guys that were going to be up.

405
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: So as far as like how I stack it, I

406
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 3: think you just kind of you look at what coach said,

407
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: and that's that he wants everyone to come back. He

408
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: loves this team and he thinks this team can win

409
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. So I think they're going to try

410
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: to bring a lot of those guys back. If I

411
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: had to like rank them, you know, to me, look,

412
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: it was the number one defense in the league, right,

413
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: seventeen points per game, So let's get some of those

414
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: guys back, you know, let's get Punafford back. I think

415
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: Elijah Molden to me is he would be the next

416
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 3: contract I did right after Slater just because it you know,

417
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: Derwin can be Drwin when you have a LOWI and

418
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: Elijah out there. That's what allowed Derwin to have this

419
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: all Pro season. So that's like, those would be my

420
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: top Oh. I did this with Popper last week too.

421
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: Khalil Mack obviously he's a tone setter, He's an important

422
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: part of this team. So you know, but those, you know,

423
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: I keep forgetting these free agents. So yeah, it would

424
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: be that's where I would start. And then right behind

425
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: that I start to think about offense, and obviously jks

426
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: at the top of that list.

427
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: So let's let's keep the theme of the edge room

428
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: because this is a good question from coach rs Lago.

429
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Let's get into the edge room, head to Hortiz and

430
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: company address it. If it took Tulli and Joey to

431
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: get Garrett, would you do it? Is Khalil for sure

432
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: coming back This room sneakily became a big deal this offseason.

433
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: So as far as Miles Garrett thing, I think we

434
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: discussed everybody's going to leave those stone unturned in terms

435
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: of seeing if they can acquire Miles Garrett, and I'm

436
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: sure that everybody will give their best shot to do so.

437
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: I would want to give up Toolly Joey again. You

438
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: guys talked about it at Ausium last last week, and

439
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: then is Khalil coming back? So this was this was

440
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: the one room when Joe Ortie's and company decided to

441
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: keep Joe and Khalil and add Bud and we had

442
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Tooley here. That was the most set of any position group.

443
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: Now it's a little bit in flux. How do you

444
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: think they do address this draft?

445
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: I think it's possible, depending it's a deep edge draft,

446
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: so you could end up, you know, there's it's a

447
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: good offense. You know, I shouldn't say it's not like

448
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: last year when it came to tackles, but it's a

449
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: solid offensive line.

450
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: They got the guy at tackled last year.

451
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: But I just mean in terms of you saw what

452
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: happened last year in the draft when when tackles were

453
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 3: evaluated to be high level tackles, you'll get six or

454
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 3: seven of them off the board. So I'm just doing

455
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: the calculus of if you assume Abdul Carter is going

456
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: to be the number one, number two or number three pick. Overall,

457
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: you get behind him and you have Peers from Tennessee,

458
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: and Michael Williams from George, and Shamar Stewart from A

459
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: and M. And then I think the one interesting player

460
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: that if he's there, you know, if you're sitting there

461
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 3: and there's you know, Tyler Booker, the just anchor of

462
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: that Alabama offensive line, the interior offensive lineman. If there's

463
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: Colston Loveland, if there's let's say Genty slips to you,

464
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: Let's say Genty sitting there, it's a conversation. But if

465
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: Mike Green is there, you know after that Senior Bowl week,

466
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: that's the kind of that's that's what's going to be

467
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: interesting about the draft because of some of these position

468
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: groups are deep where you could end up getting a

469
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: guy that you know, this this regime, this front office

470
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: may have you know, at like number eleven or number twelve,

471
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you're staring at him at

472
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 3: twenty two and you're like, oh, wow, we've got really

473
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: good problem here, because we've got great And then that's

474
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 3: where positional value can come in. Is Like, as much

475
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 3: as you love the idea of putting Colston Lovelin with Herbert.

476
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, but this is an edge you know

477
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 3: we can we can probably And that goes to what

478
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: we discussed last year when people were freaking out that

479
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 3: they didn't take Malik Neighbors and they took Alt. And

480
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, it's not just Joealt. It's Joe Alt

481
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 3: and Lad mcconki versus Malik Neighbors and who to the

482
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: Chiek Kingsley Suamatial, you know, like that's what you're you

483
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 3: have to take the tackle there because of how quickly

484
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: they're going to go off the board. So that's kind

485
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: of to speak to the edge room. Yeah, I think, look,

486
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: something's got to be done with Joey's contract. What it is,

487
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think they want Khalil back. I

488
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: think he would have retired if he didn't think the

489
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: Chargers wanted him back. I don't give the sense he

490
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 3: wants to uproot his family and go somewhere for a

491
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: year to chase a Super Bowl. I think he thinks

492
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: he can win it here and that's why he's going

493
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: to play another year. So I think he'll be back,

494
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: and I'm excited about the future for Tully. I think

495
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: I still fully believe that he's going to be a

496
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 3: great player at that position.

497
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Let's go to Antonio Gates should be in the Hall

498
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: of Urban Champion at seventy six.

499
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we agree with that un percent and he will

500
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: be hopefully that's go get.

501
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: It this year. Why trade for an aging receiver when

502
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: we know Hortiz is going to find talent in the draft.

503
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: Seems like a move in the opposite direction after getting

504
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: out of the Keenan and might contracts. That's another thing

505
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: that I wanted to pose to you is it's pretty

506
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 1: good wide receiver class too. It's okay, it's so, I mean,

507
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: it's it's probably not what it was last year, but

508
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: you can get you can get some talent maybe in

509
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: the second third round. Would you go down that route

510
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: of hey, let's get maybe a transitional veteran that a

511
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: couple of years left on their deal and then.

512
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: Draft another So you're saying, like T Higgins not available, DK,

513
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: not of these guys that are twenty five twenty six. Like,

514
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: to me, it's because it's a known commodity, like we didn't.

515
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about too money, We've talked about Alave,

516
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: We've talked about Garrett Wilson, what's gonna happen in New

517
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: York exactly? You know with dte Adams, like, there's a

518
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: lot of other moving parts that go beyond just T Higgins.

519
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: T Higgins is the bell of the ball, right, everybody

520
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: wants Tea. But if you don't get them, there may

521
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: be other avenues to maybe get a veteran maybe on

522
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: a shorter term deal while drafting another young wide receiver.

523
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so to answer the just really to answer

524
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: the question, it's why do you do it? Because it's known.

525
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: You know what you're getting when you trade for for

526
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf or you commit all this money to T Higgins,

527
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: or like you said, let's say Garrett Wilson becomes available,

528
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: they want pick twenty two for Garrett Wilson. Take it

529
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: it's yours. Sign them to a thirty million dollars a

530
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 3: year deal. I'm done, absolutely, So I just don't think

531
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 3: they'll do it. But so, yeah, that's why, because you

532
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: know what you're getting. You know what you have at quarterback,

533
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 3: you know what you have it at tackle, and that

534
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: that player can be productive and it's worth you know,

535
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 3: the draft asset plus the actual salary cap capital that

536
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: you commit, So that's why you would do it. But yeah,

537
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: it's a great point you know that you're making, is

538
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: it's not just two or three guys. As free agency

539
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 3: shakes out, as you know player, as teams have to

540
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 3: figure out how to get cap compliant, all of that

541
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: that's going to happen as soon as the Super Bowl

542
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 3: is over. It's gonna all those gears are going to

543
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 3: start turning.

544
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna be right in the center of it at

545
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: the combine when these conversations start to take ze right

546
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: and we're going to be having a lot more I

547
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: think questions out there as to what rosters are going

548
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: to look like and who's going to be in the

549
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: mix for what respective team. This is a couple of

550
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: questions I can combine here, Jeff, what's more important for

551
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: you two interior offensive line or interior defensive line? What

552
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 1: positions are better source to the draft versus free agency? Example,

553
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver Approven Vet. We talked about that. And

554
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: then what's the biggest change we need to make to

555
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: improve our run game? This is from Alex So. Interior

556
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: offensive line is a kind of a group. Let's say

557
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: that we think that they are going to upgrade probably

558
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: in both free agency in the draft, and with that,

559
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: I think that's going to improve.

560
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: The run Dame.

561
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good it's a good year in free

562
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: agency for interior linemen. A lot of them out there,

563
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 3: a lot of young guys out there. Tray Smith the

564
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: head of it, you know, and we talked about, you know,

565
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: talk about this at nauseum, like, hey, you get one

566
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: of the best interior alignment in the league and you

567
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: take him away from the Chiefs and that's you know,

568
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 3: that's a win win. So you know that's the kind

569
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: of thing you're talking about in free agency.

570
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: Draft.

571
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, absolutely. I think Trey did a great

572
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: job of trying to make that transition from tackle to guard.

573
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: But Popper made the great point. It's like, yeah, if

574
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: you're a nine million dollar tackle, that's great value for

575
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: the team. When you're a nine million dollar guard, that's

576
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: a different deal. So that's kind of how that whole

577
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: thing shakes out. What do I think is more important?

578
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: I'll just echo something that I said earlier last week,

579
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: and that's sorry, Jesse Minning or just you're too good.

580
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: You know, you're really good at what you do. So

581
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna if you're telling me where I'm gonna put

582
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: the where I'm gonna have to invest in. I trust

583
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: that whatever we give Jesse Minner, he's going to figure out.

584
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: Because anything that.

585
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: Was dropped in his lap worked, you know, whether that

586
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: was Marcus May three days later, Eddie Jackson two days later.

587
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 3: I mean just to Poona and tier Tart and like

588
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 3: just think about Denzel param and all of these players

589
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: that just showed up. And but really, like you think

590
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 3: about the practice squad guys and how what Eli Apple

591
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: forty snaps in Cleveland, you know, like that's yeah, So

592
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: to me, it's like let's give let's give Greg some

593
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: horses and let's just say, hey, Jesse, just you know,

594
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: you do go.

595
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: Figure it out, do it? You don't cook.

596
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, Riley Steele, realistic expectations for dayon Tarhebe

597
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: and cam Hart for next year and then their career

598
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: in general. And it goes to the point you listened

599
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans, but just the player development from

600
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: these rookies and what they did, I mean, realistic expectations

601
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to be starters, and you hope

602
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: the Tarhebe and Cam Hart are high level quarters for

603
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: the next couple of years.

604
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 3: So you know, like I think people that you know,

605
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: when you just watch the games, you see how they perform, right,

606
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: But then when you kind of you know, when we're

607
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: here and you're around, you can kind of dig in

608
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 3: a little bit deeper, and like you can't minimize the

609
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: impact that Denzel had on day On. Like those two

610
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: were thicke as thieves and and like that's so like

611
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: that's where those conversations come in of can you bring

612
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: Denzel back? What's the number? What's it worth? If maybe

613
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: he's now the third guy and you're really playing dime

614
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: a lot and Derwin's your dimebacker and he's playing slot

615
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 3: and a lot, you know, and you have Junior and Dan.

616
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: So like those are the sort of conversations that get

617
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: real tricky when it's Ed maguire and Joe and they're

618
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to spend all this money

619
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: and make sure it all fits together. But yeah, look,

620
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 3: I think you know, they put sort of you know,

621
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 3: day On in there with the with the two rookie corners,

622
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: So I think it's two separate conversations, right. I think

623
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: it's is you know, dayon and Junior going forward, as

624
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: you know, a third year guy and a second year guy,

625
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: but essentially two second year guys and then are you

626
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: comfortable with two rookie corners out there?

627
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: And so.

628
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting. You know, I think Christian Fulton played

629
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: well before he kind of got dinged up. I think

630
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: it'd be great to have him back.

631
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: And Zoun's a free agent. You know, we don't, you know,

632
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: he was he was hurt all this year, he was

633
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: we didn't have a chance to really see him in

634
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: this system.

635
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

636
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: So and now with Fuller coming in to be the

637
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: safety's coach, you know, he was a Sante's DC in

638
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: Florida when they were playing at a really high level.

639
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that effects. And that's the other

640
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 3: thing that can't be minimized is that Chris O'Leary did

641
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: an unbelievable job with the safeties. So, you know, and

642
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: I was going to be a DC at Western Michigan

643
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: with absolutely so. But you know, coach Clink has been

644
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: has been unbelievable with these corners. And that's you know,

645
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: that's something that I think people have to though I

646
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: shouldn't say it that way. That's something that I'm excited

647
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: about is it's clear of these coaches are exceptional. It's

648
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: not just coach Harbaugh. It's not just Greg Roman and

649
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: Jesseman are these position coaches have done a heck of

650
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: a job in developing talent on both sides of the

651
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: ball at every single position group. You know, we were

652
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: talking about Will Disley and coach Bischoff, and you're talking

653
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: about a guy that's just essentially been a blocking tight end,

654
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: catch a couple of pass passes here and there, and

655
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: that's what you end up getting out of them.

656
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: You know, same thing.

657
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: With with with dev And and coach Hardwick on that

658
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: offensive line and all those moving pieces and the new

659
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: pieces you had to drop in there, and you know

660
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: that's that's why how whatever they do, it's it feels

661
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: so different, you know from what kind of it had

662
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: felt like moving forward. You just feel like, man, these

663
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: coaches really know how to coach, and whatever you drop

664
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: in there is gonna work.

665
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: You know, just a.

666
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: Piggyback off of that. And I'm not saying anybody's going

667
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: to take a hometown discount, but all these veterans that

668
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: have their contract up, guys who got to experience what

669
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: this first year with coach Harbaugh was like, they want

670
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: to be back, they'd love to be back, and you

671
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: hope that that plays into their decision making in addition

672
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: to the money, because listen, you don't play this game

673
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: for a long time. You want to get paid and

674
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: you want to be somewhere where you're appreciated. But I

675
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: do think if all things equal, you know, you may

676
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: get the edge here because of what happened this past.

677
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you've hit it on the head there with

678
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: the last part, Chris.

679
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: I think that's just if you know, you have a

680
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: good organization and a good you know, from top to bottom,

681
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: when things are close, they want to stay. And that's

682
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: and you can't expect them to stay if things aren't close,

683
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: because again, it's too violent a game. Your career is

684
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: too short. Things can happen any given week that could

685
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: end at all, you know, and now you're looking for

686
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: your next career at twenty eight, So get as much

687
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: money as you possibly can, and then you just hope,

688
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: all right, that's what you got out there on the market,

689
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: here's what we're offering. It's close, and that's when you

690
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: hope they're like, yeah, I love it here. Let's let's

691
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: stick around. Yeah, and tax me thirteen percent from the state.

692
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot.

693
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: Cool, they paid no mind of the taxes. Guys, Griffin Lee,

694
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: what are the charges need to do to get into

695
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: this Chiefs Ravens Bills category? Do you guys see that

696
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: happening this coming season? Time to start beating teams that

697
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: you that you're supposed to lose to. Okay, So I

698
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: think after that first Monday night game against the Ravens,

699
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: you and I talked on this pod to say, hey,

700
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: you know what, this is kind of where you're stre

701
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: to get to, and you hope your two of Coach

702
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: Harball is the year where you start to put yourself

703
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: in that conversation, because to me, after that first game,

704
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: it was clear to me that they were still rung

705
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: behind the Ravens and the Bills and the Chiefs, even

706
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: though you play the Chiefs so closely every single year.

707
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: But is this the year that they can put themselves

708
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: into that conversation where they're actually competing, where Justin Herbert

709
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: is in the divisional round of the playoffs playing against

710
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen.

711
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: So look at those three teams, right, Bill's Ravens Chiefs.

712
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: What are they all have in common? Their quarterback and

713
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: their head coach have been together their entire careers. Josh Allen,

714
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes have played for one head

715
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: coach their entire career. And I know Josh Allen has

716
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: kind of had a bit of a revolving door at

717
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: oh see.

718
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: But mcdermot's been this this is rookie year exactly.

719
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: So it's kind of That's what we're talking about, is

720
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: finally getting Justin Herbert some continuity, you know, with and

721
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: not you know, bringing in Greg and saying, hey, Greg,

722
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: you know, sorry, but Mike Williams is being released, and

723
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: we're trading Keenan and you need to put a tackle

724
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: at guard and we're signing Bradley Boseman as your center,

725
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: and we're crossing our fingers on JK and we got

726
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: a low money deal on Gus. Like people that are

727
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: taking shots at Rome and I'm like, like, do you

728
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: not remember what this thing looked like to get started?

729
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: How they're just trying to put tape on these leaks

730
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: and crossing their fingers And he made it sing, you know,

731
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: I know it was you know, predominantly a defensive driven,

732
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: you know team this season with seventeen and a half

733
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: points allowed per game, But at the same time you

734
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: started to see some rhythm. It got sideways on them

735
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: in that game against the Texans, but I think it exposed.

736
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: Just to maybe put a.

737
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: More of a fine point on it, to answer the question,

738
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: I think what your limitations are, what your weaknesses are,

739
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: are exposed in the playoffs.

740
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: There's a reason why that's a cliche. So you saw it.

741
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: What you saw in Houston is what will be addressed

742
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: and moving forward, I think this last year's team will be,

743
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: on paper, you know, on paper, the least talented team

744
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 3: that we'll see for the next half decade. It's own

745
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: that this team is only going to be better on

746
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: paper moving forward because of kind of what they inherited

747
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: cap wise and draft wise.

748
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: Yeah uh o x J Sizzle, Oh I love that guy.

749
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah right? And what world do we address both into

750
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: your offensive line and wide receiver needs this offseason? And

751
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: then the second part, confidence level. If Joey Bosa stays

752
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: one to ten, I mean, I think they're gonna address

753
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: both of them. They're gonna address both of them, and

754
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: I you know, this goes with another. We have so

755
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: many questions. Let me just put this one into LAFC Daniel.

756
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Do you expect the Charges to splash on a premium

757
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: free agent. I think that they won't make a They

758
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: will attempt to make a couple splash.

759
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: I think multiple Yes, I would just answer that with

760
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: multiple Yeah, I think you're talking not Look do you

761
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: think the number one guard on the market is a

762
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: splash note?

763
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: But it is? So.

764
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: I think they'll probably spend on a receiver, spend on

765
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: a guard. I could see them spending on I'm trying

766
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: to think who's out there. The edge is interesting, you know,

767
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: depending on what they what they do with with Khalil

768
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 3: and and Joey at thirty six million, how they deal

769
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: with that. You've got some edge talent out there as

770
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 3: well in free agency. So yes, I would. I would.

771
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: I envisioned that this team's gonna spend money.

772
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: Uh has sheiezh Jackson? What's the most realistic outcome this

773
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: free agency? Well, the Charges make a big splash signing

774
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: with DK. But if we've talked about Garrett, let's see

775
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: a lot of DK people want DK by the way.

776
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, look I would too, And you're reuniting him with

777
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: his wide receiver coach. And you saw what a great

778
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: job Sanjay Lal did the wide receivers coach here, who

779
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: came down from Seattle, who was there when DK was drafted.

780
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 3: And there's a reason why DK slipped to the second

781
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 3: round because they were like, Okay, he does one thing.

782
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 3: You know you can take away the one thing you

783
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 3: do and make you do other things. And and coach

784
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: Law was able to coach him up and make him

785
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: a more complete receiver and a serious threat. So I

786
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: could totally see DK wanting to reunite with him, and

787
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: Sanja and coach lall wanting to have him down here.

788
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 3: I'd be excited about that too. I still, just because

789
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: DK's had some injury concerns, I would still if I

790
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: could rank him, Yeah, I'd like to have te one

791
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: and then I DK would be like right behind.

792
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: That Cemac game day. What is your opinion of the

793
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: impact of Ben Herbert less injuries, more gas in the

794
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: tank in the fourth quarter. Will we see better results

795
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 1: once Ben has a full year to work with the team.

796
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: I thought as the season went on, you saw few

797
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: and fewer injuries. I thought that they had a pretty

798
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: much a full compliment of guys towards the back half

799
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, I thought Ben Herbert was awesome.

800
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, echoed that. I don't need to add to that,

801
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: He's great. You never saw this team get run off

802
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: the field late. You didn't see them give up leads late.

803
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: You know, this was a team that closed games out,

804
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: that played better in the fourth quarter than they did

805
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 3: in the first. And so I think everything that he

806
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: preached and everything that we talked about, Look, guys are

807
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: going to get hurt. Every single team has guys that

808
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: get hurt.

809
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: It's impossible not to. So do you remember when we

810
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: spoke with him and he talked about how, hey, listen,

811
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: the way I talked to Joey and Khalil gonna be

812
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 1: a little different than how I talked to a rookie

813
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: at the beginning. And I just think of the strides

814
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: of the rookie class made Ben Herbert played a big

815
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: role in that. When you talk about Alt and mccaukey

816
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: and the two corners, you know, like to have that

817
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: guy with you at the beginning of your NFL career,

818
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: I think speaks volumes.

819
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's you know, I think in terms of

820
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 3: like Asante and you know, some of the longer term

821
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 3: injuries like those are those are injuries like, that's not

822
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 3: what we're talking about. It's like our guys missing games

823
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: with soft tissue, you know, with groins, with hammies, with

824
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 3: things like that, and are they out for an extended

825
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 3: period of time. And I just felt like we did

826
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: not have much of that at all. And that's an

827
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 3: that's a tribute to And look beyond what we're talking about,

828
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: what people are asking via social media and what we're

829
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: talking about on the pod, just ask the players. They

830
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: love them, man, Yeah, they freaking love them.

831
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: So Antonio g In will the Chargers host a game

832
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: in Brazil? And there was another question about would you

833
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: rather go to Brazil or London. I don't know what's

834
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: on the horizon internationally, but it would be fun to

835
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: go to Brazil or London, or Germany or Spain or Australia.

836
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the way, you know, the way it

837
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: lines up, just in terms of the teams they've already announced. Look,

838
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 3: if I had to guess, yeah, get your passport, I

839
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: think we're going somewhere. And if I had to guess where,

840
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 3: I think it's Brazil. I just I think it lines up.

841
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 3: You know, the teams on the East Coast have you know,

842
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 3: a much easier talking about and I know you can

843
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: go over the pole, so it's not as drastic as

844
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: it's made out to be. But you know, you can't

845
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: minimize how much easier it is to get to London

846
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 3: from New York and the East and cboard than it

847
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: is from LA So you know, Brazil is pretty much

848
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: equal for almost everybody. You're talking about eleven twelve hours

849
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 3: from here and eleven twelve hours from anywhere else because

850
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 3: it's just a straight shot down. So where would I

851
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: like to go? Yes, you know, I like going to

852
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: those places. Now Brazil, you know, so Paolo has got

853
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: some pretty sweet waves. So it's got some friends who

854
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: work with fu Wax, the famous surf bri frand get

855
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 3: redicated in and so.

856
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: We're doing a Matt Muddy Smith surfing segment of Brazil

857
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: if it happens.

858
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, so selfishly, I would love to get down

859
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: there and hopefully connect with your questions from a board. Yeah,

860
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 3: that will paddle out with me so I don't get

861
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: murdered because they are very violent about their waves and

862
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: who has rights to waves and who drops in on who.

863
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: So I would have to make sure I find the

864
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: right chaperones to paddle out with and they can tell

865
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: me when I can go and I can go have

866
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 3: some fun. So yeah, selfishly, that's what I'd like to do.

867
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Jake from Australia wants the charges of go to Melbourne

868
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: to play the Rams of twenty twenty six. I'd like

869
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: to go to Australia.

870
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: I would.

871
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: Again, what do they have in Australia? Ala, So yeah,

872
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: I would. I would absolutely love that.

873
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 2: Sign me up. I'm not the guy.

874
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not the guy that's got to get out

875
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: there and play and adjust to the timing and and

876
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: figure out how to get my body right when I'm

877
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: you know, Brazil. And that's the other thing about Brazil

878
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 3: is in terms of the players, like yeah, time zone, whyse,

879
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: you're great, you know, and it's if it's October, I mean,

880
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 3: oh it's peak like spring to summer season down there.

881
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 3: It's absolutely beautiful. So yeah, let's go, all.

882
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: Right, last one, uh, because we got to go. We

883
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: appreciate all the questions, try to get as many as possible.

884
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: A theor if Herbert becomes the seventh quarterback in NFL

885
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: history to win MVP and Super Bowl MVP same season.

886
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: Are you nervous as a GM? And what does the extension.

887
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: Look like for Herbert?

888
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: For Herbert, he's locked in a theory.

889
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't care. Whatever.

890
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 3: A billion dollars the MVP of the league and Super

891
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: Bowl MVP, what do you want? I mean, that's the

892
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 3: nice thing about Justin's contract that I think people and

893
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 3: it's look what Patrick Mahomes is done. You know when

894
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 3: he signed that whatever six hundred million dollar deal is,

895
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 3: it became the bank of Mahomes. Anytime they had to

896
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: withdraw money to sign a player, they were able to,

897
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: you know, restructure. Here's some more signing bonus. Patrick, here's

898
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: a couple more years on the back end, and now

899
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: we can lower your number and pull that money out

900
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 3: and pay fill in the blank or acquire this player.

901
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 3: And that's the one nice thing about having a player

902
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: that's operating at that level where you give them that

903
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 3: massive of a contract that you can play with, you know,

904
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 3: and you can sort of take from here and push

905
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 3: this over there. And now we've got an extra twenty

906
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 3: million bucks. So I mean, he just signed it. He

907
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 3: just started that deal. So it's yeah, we're good. We're

908
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: good for a little bit. It's not it's going to

909
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: take a year. Maybe it's going to take at least

910
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 3: two more years before they can really kind of get

911
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 3: their hands into that thing.

912
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: There was one question about putting a bug in coach

913
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: hardballs eer to get Mason Graham or a bigmillan from servit.

914
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: I think there are both gonna go in the top ten,

915
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: top five.

916
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean T Max guys. Guys, Yeah, T

917
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: mact is like a He's like a T Higgins, you know.

918
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: I mean that's that's sort of the same idea. Mason

919
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 3: Gramm will go top seven. Yeah, a couple of surve

920
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 3: byck guys.

921
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: Huh uh, all right, this is the last one outside

922
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: of charges free agency. Who are three realistic players that

923
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,640
