Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Today's episode of the Around the NFL Podcast
Speaker 1: is presented by Rocket Mortgage joint Rocket Mortgage and saying
Speaker 1: thank you two essential workers by posting a video to
Speaker 1: everyone knows a hero dot com. Everyone knows a hero
Speaker 1: dot com and we all do. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: Tuesday show me Around the NFL Podcast likes dirty motel rooms.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition I'll be Around the NFL Podcast.
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansis, and I'm coming to you
Speaker 1: from a city filled with heroes in bunkers. Mark Sessler,
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, Greg Rosenthal, What is up? Boys? Hey Dann
Speaker 1: dirty motels that might have been connected to the Airbnb
Speaker 1: mark that you uh landed at the start of all this.
Speaker 1: Have you guys done any more of that, any of
Speaker 1: that um COVID nineteen Airbnb stuff? Is that still an
Speaker 1: option on the table? A little bit? A little bit? Um?
Speaker 1: I mean I don't take a fence at the um
Speaker 1: labeling and it's dirty because it's not in my place.
Speaker 1: But um A I left it, and so did someone
Speaker 1: when she stayed there in pristine condition, and it was
Speaker 1: a small, very very clean place. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Through the game of telephone, um with our listeners where
Speaker 1: this crops up where suddenly I'm staying in a in
Speaker 1: a flophouse and like, uh, downtown, l a somewhere that
Speaker 1: are you still using it? Though? Yeah, I said, we've
Speaker 1: we've used it occasionally, but not not. It's only once
Speaker 1: or twice in a pinch because um, you know, the
Speaker 1: cost becomes slightly prohibitive. Was not in our budget when
Speaker 1: the disease landed over the entire country. Is it okay
Speaker 1: to mention that what you had mentioned on text that
Speaker 1: you have some in that particular airbnb, some active neighbors upstairs,
Speaker 1: act and healthy. I mean it's been mentioned now, so
Speaker 1: whether it's okay or not to mention, I don't know
Speaker 1: who they are. I've never seen them, but yes that
Speaker 1: UH didn't know the second time I swung around there,
Speaker 1: I did not hear them. But the first time, and
Speaker 1: maybe they were celebrating um immense time at home. Uh
Speaker 1: that there was a male female and they were doing
Speaker 1: what some males and females would do in a lockdown situation.
Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. And they weren't. They weren't
Speaker 1: baking a cake. Oh, certainly, like he's Bill Belichick, Prescott
Speaker 1: Christ we're on to the f C. Um today's episode
Speaker 1: around the a f C in we're still on the
Speaker 1: air's too too, come on, sixteen teams in the A
Speaker 1: f C. Got a little lost. That was just figuring
Speaker 1: out the amount of teams in the n f Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought we were doing the minutes that this was
Speaker 1: gonna got there. Oh wait, that might have been what
Speaker 1: I was doing originally, and then it got a little
Speaker 1: foggy and I came out of there with how many
Speaker 1: teams are in the a f C. But let me
Speaker 1: do that now? Okay, so sixteen that is like memorized
Speaker 1: by now you should know just six sixteen anything you know,
Speaker 1: it's confusing, it's times two and takes you back the
Speaker 1: amount of teams thirty two minutes. We're gonna do two
Speaker 1: minutes on each of the sixteen A f C teams.
Speaker 1: Seems a little tight. The guys seemed in on the
Speaker 1: two minute idea, but I went along with it as
Speaker 1: a as a good teammate. Well, it'll be a bit
Speaker 1: of a test and and word economy from the fellas,
Speaker 1: which not always our strong suits. So right there a
Speaker 1: challenge for the around the NFL podcast, But you really
Speaker 1: wanted to be, you know, in in support. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: have just mentioned that, like, hey, I'm not totally in this.
Speaker 1: This doesn't go well the other three guys. I wanted
Speaker 1: to pull back the curtain to let the listeners know
Speaker 1: that even as I say it, I worry that two
Speaker 1: minutes is too short for each team. Three would be better,
Speaker 1: but again, I like the challenge down previously, Dan, I
Speaker 1: think there was one episode where it might have been
Speaker 1: two and a half. Though. Okay, well, maybe my fears
Speaker 1: will be unfounded. I mean, you've spent a solid five
Speaker 1: minutes doing math equations in my head already on the episode.
Speaker 1: Hang on, I'm washing my hands of the episode the webbing. No, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: this will be good. We should be able to do this.
Speaker 1: We just gotta uh we're each taking a team from
Speaker 1: each of the four divisions and uh a quick setup
Speaker 1: and a discussion, and this is gonna be totally connected,
Speaker 1: of course to the draft, which is now uh just
Speaker 1: over a week away. So I've been through the a
Speaker 1: f C and then either later this week or next
Speaker 1: week we'll hit the FC. We will definitely get both
Speaker 1: conferences in before the draft, which is a week from Friday,
Speaker 1: So this will be fun connected to the draft, but
Speaker 1: also sort of recapping where the rosters stand after free agency,
Speaker 1: the first wave of free agency. Okay, that's news to
Speaker 1: me as well. Mine will be all focused on the
Speaker 1: draft hand and just so you don't miss um. Just
Speaker 1: so you don't miss it, Dan, Uh, let's start on Thursday,
Speaker 1: which I believe it is your birthday? Is my birthday? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's right. A lot of honking about the last remaining
Speaker 1: days of the thirties, now that that Big four us
Speaker 1: in the face. I it's more about I feel like
Speaker 1: I've made my point how much younger I am than
Speaker 1: you guys that I don't want to rub it in,
Speaker 1: but I am aware, keenly aware that this is the
Speaker 1: end of the road for my thirties, and it is
Speaker 1: not great that it's happening in a deep quarantine for society. Uh.
Speaker 1: There's not many things that I can do in terms
Speaker 1: of bucket maneuvers at the end of my thirties. But
Speaker 1: that's we're day. It's on one of the busiest work
Speaker 1: days of the year, the one one that tends to
Speaker 1: stretch deep into the night. So yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: how they starting a playoff, I don't imagine will play
Speaker 1: it well. Is the draft being held at the same
Speaker 1: time and everything like that in terms of hours every year,
Speaker 1: I would say, if we're doing it in Rock's basement,
Speaker 1: why I just start the thing at one pm? What
Speaker 1: are we doing? I mean it's already you've stripped the
Speaker 1: popping circumstance away. Just making a daytime events. Everybody could
Speaker 1: have a nice night. I mean, it happens to be
Speaker 1: my wife's birthday that day as well, or I should
Speaker 1: say her birthday. Um strike the age from it, but
Speaker 1: uh she you know, we've mentioned she was born within
Speaker 1: minutes of dan At in different hospitals. So it's not
Speaker 1: I'm not earning any points for the eightieth year in
Speaker 1: a row with the draft falling on that that date.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? All right? So yes, so
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an overview of the team, where they're at,
Speaker 1: where they're heading. Let's get into it. Let's start with
Speaker 1: the a f C. East Ricky, you know the drill here,
Speaker 1: you're in charge of the countdown. Hear that air horn.
Speaker 1: It is time to move on to the next team.
Speaker 1: There will be no talking about uh your team after
Speaker 1: the air horn. We move on quickly. I'll try to
Speaker 1: keep things moving and again this is two minutes for
Speaker 1: each team. I will also be tracking my clock, will
Speaker 1: see how this girls. All right, let's start in the
Speaker 1: AFC East. As I said, with the defending af C
Speaker 1: East champions, the New England Patriots. Greg Rosenthal get it
Speaker 1: going there. Their needs in New England are familiar, I
Speaker 1: think to a lot of people, tight end playmakers, quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: certainly that's the first time in a long time. And
Speaker 1: their front seven they don't have any real pass rushers.
Speaker 1: And with all that in mind, I am wondering do
Speaker 1: they take a quarterback in this draft. It is not
Speaker 1: really their m O to move up in the draft.
Speaker 1: They're already without a second round pick because of the
Speaker 1: Mohammed's and new trade. And you look at where they're
Speaker 1: drafting in the early twenties, which is earlier, and they've
Speaker 1: been for a while, and man, this receiver classes loaded
Speaker 1: like I can't imagine a scenari area where Denzel Mims
Speaker 1: or Tee Higgins like these guys are exciting and the
Speaker 1: Patriots aren't gonna take a receiver there. I can't really
Speaker 1: imagine them loading up to trade up for a quarterback
Speaker 1: unless they traded Julian Edelman. He feels like the one
Speaker 1: guy on the team that makes most sense to trade.
Speaker 1: Do you guys think Edelman is on a team going
Speaker 1: into day? He makes so much sense to go to Tampa,
Speaker 1: But Tampa is pretty set up at wide receiver as
Speaker 1: we know. Detroit would be another one they wanted to
Speaker 1: call old Matt Patricia, like I think they have. They
Speaker 1: have problems on defense at least they need to get
Speaker 1: some difference makers up front, so it might not be receiver,
Speaker 1: but it feels like a perfect class to take one.
Speaker 1: Remember those the chatter about the Patriots years back on
Speaker 1: being interested in moving up for Baker Mayfield, and there's
Speaker 1: been other little whispers here and there. I mean, this
Speaker 1: would be the year to do it, and they don't
Speaker 1: have the They have a lot of draft picks, but
Speaker 1: like you're right, not up high, so maybe tough to
Speaker 1: pull off. And who's gonna want to let them waltz
Speaker 1: in and get a quarterback number one overall or something.
Speaker 1: But I feel like Belichick might have something up asleep
Speaker 1: if too of out guy that just feels like a
Speaker 1: Patriots type of thing. Although you're hearing a little justin
Speaker 1: Herbert's death. One thing Belichick has demonstrated when the Patriots
Speaker 1: suffering a f C playoff loss, it's back to the
Speaker 1: drawing hand and sort of pivoting to a new roster
Speaker 1: strategy like he did when he drafted Bronk and Aaron
Speaker 1: or Nandez together, when he's gone running back heavy and
Speaker 1: other drafts. So we'll see they don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of huge needs though. I mean it's a pretty yeah,
Speaker 1: good offensive line, good secondary. The New York Jets. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a tackle, Tristan Wharfs, Jedrick Wills, Mackay Beckton, or
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and uh we have Daniel Jeremiah and
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks both have Alabama star Seedee Lamb going to
Speaker 1: the Jets at eleven, giving them we talked about this
Speaker 1: last week, a premium young wide receiver to pair with
Speaker 1: their quarterback they believe is a franchise quarter right, it's
Speaker 1: frankly overdue considering Donald's entering year three, Charles Davis is
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy going to the Jets is the first wide
Speaker 1: receiver off the board. So the at least the football
Speaker 1: Gagna sent the wasting seconds here is thinking wide receiver now,
Speaker 1: but tackle wouldn't surprised me one thing. One potential curveball.
Speaker 1: The Jets need a lot of help in their secondary.
Speaker 1: Greg Williams did a good job coaching up last year.
Speaker 1: But this guy, Jeff A. Kuda, who everyone loves and
Speaker 1: is projected as a top ten pick if he ever
Speaker 1: felt eleven. Would the Jets be tempted to get a
Speaker 1: young cornerback, old line wide receiver cornerback as a curveball.
Speaker 1: But don't they need I mean, this is a team
Speaker 1: that it's like he's Joe Douglas is inheriting a lot
Speaker 1: of the same problems a lot of Jets gms have,
Speaker 1: which he spent the first year just trying to like
Speaker 1: overcome the previous mistakes. There's not a lot of big
Speaker 1: strengths on this Jets roster. I mean, it's a big
Speaker 1: year for their draft go ahead. I feel like we
Speaker 1: we've mentioned this every time we talk about the Jets
Speaker 1: and Jets needs edge rusher for like the four year
Speaker 1: in the row. Um. I mean, I think they seem
Speaker 1: to have a very tactical approach to free agency, which
Speaker 1: was not blow you away with big names signings, which
Speaker 1: is fine, but they have so many holes to fill
Speaker 1: that I don't know. If you go get the wide
Speaker 1: receiver and not an offensive tackle, what does that mean
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald on the you know, past protection front. Well,
Speaker 1: they did make moves of free agency an offensive line
Speaker 1: and there will well you know we've discussed those, and
Speaker 1: there they just saying it ain't on the guys they wanted. Well,
Speaker 1: they wanted Cockland. That's the guy that seriously wanted. But
Speaker 1: I would say none of us should be diving into
Speaker 1: deep on weather and offensive linement could play or not
Speaker 1: until we see him right anyway, Moving on the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bill Mark Sasby. I kind of like the Stefon Diggs trade.
Speaker 1: It was expensive and you know, unlike the Texans, I
Speaker 1: thought that the Vikings got good value in return for Digs.
Speaker 1: But it gives the Bills a chance to go address Um.
Speaker 1: What I think they'll do defense um early on, and
Speaker 1: they could use Um an edge rusher along with the Jets.
Speaker 1: They could to shack Lawson. Um went to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: If you read a lot of Bills writers, they're talking
Speaker 1: about cornerback as well. Even though they got Josh Norman.
Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermott would be fine having like fifty
Speaker 1: seven cornerbacks on his roster. There aren't a billion needs
Speaker 1: on offense. I think they would have been a key
Speaker 1: to get a wide receiver, if not for digs, but
Speaker 1: maybe a running back to pair with Devin Singletary, just
Speaker 1: because I like him, but I don't know if I
Speaker 1: trust him as a lone feature workhorse guy. What do
Speaker 1: you guys think? They've done a good job the last
Speaker 1: couple of years at wide receiver. They still don't have
Speaker 1: a proven playmaker at tight end. They've got a couple
Speaker 1: of guys they drafted last year who showed glimpses. I'm
Speaker 1: with you, I'd like to see another running back to
Speaker 1: go with Devin Singletary. And I think they need help
Speaker 1: at guard, which isn't very exciting, but they need guard hill.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to rank Brandon being pretty high on
Speaker 1: these GM rankings coming out later this week. There's an
Speaker 1: annual exercise that's back. I feel like this roster, he's
Speaker 1: three years into it, like it's perfectly set up where
Speaker 1: he can go almost anywhere in this draft, and they
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of needs. I feel like defensive end,
Speaker 1: they can't feel good about Mario Addison and Jerry Hughes.
Speaker 1: They don't really have like a future pass rusher. But man,
Speaker 1: this is like the year for the Bills to push
Speaker 1: and the Bills fan, the Bills Mafias all gotta like
Speaker 1: expect it, but like this is their year, like they
Speaker 1: they should have high hopes. This should be one where
Speaker 1: they think they can go far in the Are they
Speaker 1: the Browns of two thousand twenty? I kind of think
Speaker 1: they are, But to Greg's point, I think that McDermott
Speaker 1: and Bean have showed such an ability to work well
Speaker 1: together that they aren't the Browns on that. From that angle,
Speaker 1: there a well put together organization for first time in
Speaker 1: a while. They are actually coming off of season where
Speaker 1: they had success, so it's different in that, uh that
Speaker 1: way West then a shout the division with the Dolphins, Well,
Speaker 1: they spend a lot of money on defense and free agency,
Speaker 1: so you know they're gonna be looking at offense. And
Speaker 1: of course quarterback Armando Salgaro, who has been pretty plugged
Speaker 1: in uh since we've started covering football with the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: has said pretty strongly that two is not their guy
Speaker 1: um and it's lying season, so you never know, but
Speaker 1: I don't think that people will be burning their bridges
Speaker 1: with Selgaro because he doesn't seem to fall for the
Speaker 1: false reports. So that's something to note. But outside of quarterback,
Speaker 1: don't forget how lousy this team is at offensive tackle.
Speaker 1: They've got Julian Davenport and Jesse Davis, two of the
Speaker 1: weaker starting tackles in the NFL, So to me, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a big surprise if they end up going
Speaker 1: tackle early. I think Brian Floor has got everyone excited,
Speaker 1: but when you look at this roster, it still looks
Speaker 1: like a team that's pretty deep in a rebuild, and
Speaker 1: the schedule is gonna get the harder for the a
Speaker 1: f C East. Like they could win five games again
Speaker 1: and that would be a good coaching job. Again, I'm
Speaker 1: not buying the fact that they're not field like Draft Smoke.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the guy that we heard Stephen
Speaker 1: Ross like too literally two years ago. I do wonder.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I love the end of the year
Speaker 1: story for the Dolphins, but in a a I mean
Speaker 1: the whole question. It was Silgaro who gave us the
Speaker 1: first mention of the organic tanking, and that's really exactly
Speaker 1: what at least parts of the organization organization tried to do.
Speaker 1: But wouldn't they be so thrilled? And I think their
Speaker 1: owner would be two at number one with Joe Burrown.
Speaker 1: It seems to be just conflicted about any of the
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. But how do you go anywhere else than quarterback? Ye,
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah have Justin Herbert of Oregon
Speaker 1: going number five overall to Miami, to uh uh to Miami,
Speaker 1: Charles Davis and Peter Schreeger. So yeah, quarterback makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. But it Seger dropped this nug last
Speaker 1: week that they might not be into a pass on
Speaker 1: on Dolphins and let him fall down to eleven and
Speaker 1: old Bill Blocheck comes up all right. On to the
Speaker 1: ANFC North, the defending division champ Ravens. The Ravens um
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna move up potentially in this draft.
Speaker 1: They have two second round picks, they have two third
Speaker 1: round picks. They're at number and they're pretty loaded except
Speaker 1: for in the front seven. They are so old upfront.
Speaker 1: They ended up signing Derek Wolfe when they couldn't um
Speaker 1: in Michael Bracker's which was a nice move. And they
Speaker 1: have Class Campbell and Brandon Williams, but all those guys
Speaker 1: are over thirty. They really don't have any edge rushers
Speaker 1: or linebackers except for Matthew Judon, who's a franchise tag
Speaker 1: guy and and probably won't be there next year. So
Speaker 1: they feel like they used to always have guys up front,
Speaker 1: and they don't really have any young guys up front.
Speaker 1: It feels like they are gonna just load up at
Speaker 1: that because they're pretty well set up everywhere else. I
Speaker 1: really wanted them to get Emmanuel Sanders or someone of
Speaker 1: that ilk where I think they could use another wide
Speaker 1: receiver um to bail them out at times on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball. A veteran I mean, well it
Speaker 1: would be a rookie, so not a veteran, but uh,
Speaker 1: maybe drafted guy leaving. Going back a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago when they buy clock does that to some people, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the clock is how are you feeling about the two
Speaker 1: minutes right now? Dan? So far? So good? Go ahead
Speaker 1: on U. A couple of years ago, they bypassed Derwin James,
Speaker 1: so they traded down and they added offense. They really
Speaker 1: went after hating hers. They got Um Orlando Brown. So
Speaker 1: they they have really plugged into the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, and now it's time, like Greg said, to
Speaker 1: go defense. Maybe a couple offensive lineman, especially on the interior,
Speaker 1: but mostly the front seven on defense. Year two Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson or year three, excuse me, he'll be a fascinating
Speaker 1: guy to track. Can he do it again? Does he
Speaker 1: have to be that good? Well, I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to be different. I don't. I don't think they're
Speaker 1: getting Just like we talked about last off season, They're
Speaker 1: not gonna roll out the same exact offense I think
Speaker 1: they had in in They're gonna have to do different things.
Speaker 1: But I give it. I expect them to be ahead
Speaker 1: of occurrence. Though we love a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: them in January if they get back there. There's a
Speaker 1: bit of a narrative emerging there. Moving on to the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's feelers, they do not have a first round pick.
Speaker 1: Make a Fitzpatrick trade took that away, so they picked
Speaker 1: at forty ninth o overall, six picks overall. I'm very
Speaker 1: interested how they attack this draft from the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball. The offense of the line is getting
Speaker 1: a little up there in years they have three guys
Speaker 1: over thirty. Um, they don't have a lot of depth there.
Speaker 1: Ramon Foster just retired. Then you have quarterback the thirty
Speaker 1: eight year old Ben Roethlisberger just missed a full season,
Speaker 1: currently looks like a long haul trucker. What's going on
Speaker 1: with him? At running back? You just keep on hearing
Speaker 1: that James Conner is now kind of on the outs
Speaker 1: of that organization, which surprises me. But you know what,
Speaker 1: he also was hurt and couldn't do it last year.
Speaker 1: Um So where did they go? I think this is
Speaker 1: gonna be an offensive draft for them. At the top
Speaker 1: of the draft. Uh, starting in the second round, would
Speaker 1: they take one of the top running backs on the board.
Speaker 1: That would be not surprising to me. Um. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're in the market for a quarterback at this time.
Speaker 1: But one of the position to watch is wide receiver
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster surprisingly going into his contract year. They
Speaker 1: hardly ever give out second contracts to wide outs, and
Speaker 1: they also don't have a ton of depth there, so
Speaker 1: that could be an address area they address. Somebody's been
Speaker 1: doing his Steelers then now it is around the James Conner.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they want to replace him. I
Speaker 1: think they want to compliment him with a guy who's
Speaker 1: a little bit more explosive than Benny Snell, and I agree.
Speaker 1: There has been talk that Juju Smith Schuster might not
Speaker 1: be the big priority contract wise that we would have
Speaker 1: thought he was. He was. He's just him and Connor
Speaker 1: very similar that they were supposed to be the man
Speaker 1: and then they were banged up and didn't do a
Speaker 1: lot when they were on the field. So kind of
Speaker 1: a really bad season of twenty nineteen for Pittsburgh. Everything
Speaker 1: went wrong. It's like a lot of times you look
Speaker 1: at like Pittsburgh's needs heading into the draft, and then
Speaker 1: Kevin Colbert just goes and drafts the best player available.
Speaker 1: I mean just I've seen them do that too many times,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they'll go for one of
Speaker 1: these needs or not. The best defense Mike Timlin had
Speaker 1: since since like early on in the mimin it's called
Speaker 1: my World, there the time and the time is really
Speaker 1: has marked on the end. I don't know, this is
Speaker 1: like a you know, this is not a cloud Sick
Speaker 1: All Star Day for me so far. Mark, You're Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns who are re introducing their need on Farms tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I you know, it's every single mock draft mostly says
Speaker 1: Cleveland just grabbing the best available left tackle um at
Speaker 1: at their spot, and some even saying moving up for one.
Speaker 1: I think you have to do that at this point,
Speaker 1: just because your other option right now is Chris Hubbard,
Speaker 1: who we know what he is, and yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: need to see another year of that um at at
Speaker 1: any at any length. Linebackers a big, big need. You
Speaker 1: didn't resign Joe Schobert um Christian Kirksey. I have no
Speaker 1: problem letting him go. I think he was to his
Speaker 1: durability was too much a concern for the money he
Speaker 1: was making. But they need to address that position. UM.
Speaker 1: They continue to get run on at big clips last
Speaker 1: year and that's not good. And safety has been a
Speaker 1: revolving door. And they signed h Karl Joseph. They signed
Speaker 1: Andrewson Dajo, but both to one year deals, and a
Speaker 1: lot of their free agent pickups were one year um
Speaker 1: at most two year little what I viewed to be patches,
Speaker 1: veteran patches to get some of the defense in order.
Speaker 1: Outside of tackle. I think it's a very defensive heavy
Speaker 1: draft for Cleveland. UM they I wouldn't mind them seeing
Speaker 1: in another world taking a shot at one of the
Speaker 1: better wide receivers where they are. But I just don't
Speaker 1: think it seems a little risky not taking it tack.
Speaker 1: It takes crazy to take a receiver if it does.
Speaker 1: Except couldn't you imagine a world where like for some reason,
Speaker 1: Landry or Beckham is not there next year and you
Speaker 1: have no one besides one of the rosters. So good,
Speaker 1: their roster is good right now. You've spent so much
Speaker 1: on that that when there's a tackle there that there
Speaker 1: should be, I mean, now is the time. It's so
Speaker 1: hard to get those guys. Daniel Jeremiah has Isaiah Simmons,
Speaker 1: the Clemson linebacker going to the Browns. Would you be
Speaker 1: upset about that mark if you passed seen that in
Speaker 1: a couple of places. And I and I you know,
Speaker 1: I know as much about Isaiah Isaiah Simmons as as
Speaker 1: my mom does at this point, but I would say this,
Speaker 1: what I keep hearing is he's tough. He's a tough fit. Um,
Speaker 1: where do you put him in certain defenses? And does
Speaker 1: he fit Cleveland's defense? And and will he fit their
Speaker 1: defense when they have a new defensive coordinator next year
Speaker 1: or the year after. Is he that kind of a player?
Speaker 1: Breaking down the game film like that. They're connected to
Speaker 1: Ezra Cleveland in the second round, the Boise State tackle
Speaker 1: her birth. Yeah, my mom's name is Barbara. Just sounded
Speaker 1: like a name Bertha Sessler. No, that is not her.
Speaker 1: That is not her first name. I can assure you,
Speaker 1: bab Sessler is her name. Next up, Chris Wesling, your
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Growing it up in that city and living
Speaker 1: there for over thirty years. My take is that Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow fits this franchise and city better than any quarterback
Speaker 1: they've had since the late sixties when they drafted one
Speaker 1: of the great might have been in NFL history, great
Speaker 1: out of the University of Cincinnati. UM. Joe Burrow is
Speaker 1: an Ohio guy. He seems to fit personality wise that city.
Speaker 1: And now here's where we get into They get their quarterback.
Speaker 1: But they had thirty eight sacks attributed to their offensive
Speaker 1: line last year, the highest figure in the NFL according
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus. This organization has been downright in
Speaker 1: apt at picking offensive lineman from cedric A. Bullier to
Speaker 1: Jake Fisher Billy Price in the first round. Michael Jordan,
Speaker 1: a guy they drafted in the fourth round last year,
Speaker 1: really struggled. And Jonah Williams they took in the first
Speaker 1: round didn't play a snap because he was injured. They
Speaker 1: really need after they get Burrow to upgrade this offensive line.
Speaker 1: I like the offseason they had though their roster. You know,
Speaker 1: I was doing the the a f C kind of
Speaker 1: power rock spe of thing, and I don't know, like
Speaker 1: they looked like they could be an eight and eight
Speaker 1: team if if a few things broke right in Burrow
Speaker 1: is actually good and they maybe if they weren't in
Speaker 1: that division, Like they really aren't a bad looking roster
Speaker 1: at all. They should source out their drafting of offensive
Speaker 1: lineman to another front office just as a favor. Can
Speaker 1: you pick the lineman for us because we've we've shown
Speaker 1: we're not good at that. That's a good call. Is
Speaker 1: any franchise good at drafting offensive lineman? The Saints, I guess,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Cowboys what's the boy head coaches name
Speaker 1: report out there today that he does not anticipate Cincinnati
Speaker 1: trading out of the number one pick, and they better not.
Speaker 1: West all of the West Side is gonna burn the
Speaker 1: place down. If you don't bring this kid in to
Speaker 1: save the day. If if there was any potential to
Speaker 1: burn the place down, it would have happened in the nineties,
Speaker 1: for the early two thousand's or last year. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna happen now, all right, let us
Speaker 1: move on to the a FC South Graig starting with
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Did Jaguars have like one of the worst
Speaker 1: rosters in the NFL? I mean, it's it's crazy. Dave
Speaker 1: Caldwell took over in only one team has lost more
Speaker 1: games since then, that's the Cleveland Browns, and they're not
Speaker 1: in that much better shape the Jaguars than they were
Speaker 1: when he took over, and that was it was a
Speaker 1: train wreck. But they do have a very interesting draft.
Speaker 1: They have the number nine pick, the number twenty pick,
Speaker 1: and they have Yannick and Gockway, who everyone thinks is
Speaker 1: gonna get traded in the next week or maybe on
Speaker 1: Draft Day. Like it's really interesting. And I think they
Speaker 1: do believe in Gardner Minshew. But if it wasn't for Minshew,
Speaker 1: it's like everyone would be assuming they would be the
Speaker 1: team that would be moving up. And they man, they
Speaker 1: have the assets to do at nine twenty and in Gockway.
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for like a totally crazy thing
Speaker 1: to happen on draft day, I feel like them packaging
Speaker 1: and them taking a quarterback and this whole Minshew stuff
Speaker 1: was garbage. UM would be a big surprise they could
Speaker 1: drop on every Minshew is a smoke screen, is kind
Speaker 1: of brilliant. If they really want to cue, they're they're
Speaker 1: lying in the weeds. I think they're more likely to
Speaker 1: trade down from number nine. A team might want to
Speaker 1: get in front of the Jets and Browns for a
Speaker 1: tackle or maybe even a wide receiver. The Broncos have
Speaker 1: been mentioned as a team that could trade up there.
Speaker 1: I I look at them and and I don't actually
Speaker 1: think they would do that for a quarterback because I
Speaker 1: think Caldwells they have to be feeling the heat and thinking,
Speaker 1: we need to compete this year. We need Minshew to
Speaker 1: just be the man and we're gonna be better off.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they get a second round pick for
Speaker 1: in Gokway and they just have you know, five picks
Speaker 1: in the first two rounds and hope they hit on
Speaker 1: it because they're gonna need to have some sort of
Speaker 1: progress this year, or you would think that they would
Speaker 1: finally blow things up, although we've said that before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just not convinced anyone making any of these decisions
Speaker 1: is going to be the right person to be there
Speaker 1: when the players they pick are heading into year two.
Speaker 1: They've got they've shown the ability to tear down a team,
Speaker 1: not build one. Tough tough spot there for Caldwell's finishing
Speaker 1: last on the GM ranking, Bill O'Brien doesn't get the
Speaker 1: last one, Well, yeah, he doesn't qualify. I do a
Speaker 1: whole thing. They need to have already done, like one
Speaker 1: draft in charge and you know that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Moving on the Houston Texans, they have six picks. They also,
Speaker 1: like the Steelers, without a first round pick, so their
Speaker 1: first draft pick is a fifty seven overall DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: out the door. They did bring in Randall Cobb, and
Speaker 1: they brought in Brandon Cooks. I still wonder and we
Speaker 1: keep being told that this is a stark draft class.
Speaker 1: Will Will Bill O'Brien UH draft a wide receiver early
Speaker 1: in the draft for I don't know, but another But
Speaker 1: that makes some sense, But there's also areas of UH concerned.
Speaker 1: Let's look at the defensive line. DJ reader, he's out
Speaker 1: the door. He signs the big deal with West's Bengals,
Speaker 1: and then you know, eight months before that, Clowney goes
Speaker 1: out the door. So suddenly a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: we're mainstay is on that defensive line our history. J J.
Speaker 1: Watts another year older, so they got to rebuild that
Speaker 1: line a little bit um and guess what, no first
Speaker 1: round pick or second round pick latin next year. So uh,
Speaker 1: better hit on what you got here, Billy ob. They're
Speaker 1: desperate for edge rushers, especially young ones, and cornerbacks who
Speaker 1: can play. They've got some cornerbacks with pedigrees and none
Speaker 1: of them can cover anything. I mean, I'd say the trade,
Speaker 1: the under part of the trade that was that was
Speaker 1: not picked on enough was the David John some sided things.
Speaker 1: You might need a running back in this draft at
Speaker 1: some point. I just I'm not convinced that isn't that
Speaker 1: players anything more than a question mark That Lamar Miller
Speaker 1: is still in the building right coming back from coming
Speaker 1: off a major injury. I don't know. I mean, if
Speaker 1: if anything does, does Bill O'Brien need to you know,
Speaker 1: extend in olive branch to Deshaun Watson with a wide
Speaker 1: receiver number one, just as a message to the lock.
Speaker 1: I mean they have they have the number forty pick.
Speaker 1: It's a deep receiver draft. They've got four wide receivers, right.
Speaker 1: But you also think they are about as likely as
Speaker 1: any team to trade out of their pick, because you
Speaker 1: would just assume they're gonna try to need to pick
Speaker 1: up extra picks, especially knowing they don't have their first
Speaker 1: two picks next year either disaster Well Fuller obviously is
Speaker 1: the other guy. He's missed twenty of the last forty
Speaker 1: eight games and he's in a contract here. So I'm
Speaker 1: just saying from like a long term draft plan. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure Bill thinks he needs to get better right
Speaker 1: now because they heat. He is from Billy O'Brien, the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Tit two Titans. Excuse me, Mark almost. I guess
Speaker 1: if you're the Titans, you could look and at you
Speaker 1: could really look in a couple of different directions. I mean,
Speaker 1: you get you lost Jack Conklin along the line that
Speaker 1: was meant to be your identity, and you've got Dennis
Speaker 1: kill Kelly filling in. So right tackle is an option?
Speaker 1: Uh it depending on where you are. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: you get Jarrell Casey was given away for a song
Speaker 1: to the Broncos, and I just see a defense that
Speaker 1: also needs help at cornerback um Logan, Ryan's gone door,
Speaker 1: Jackson is entering his fourth year. Malcolm Butler, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's I'm not sure Malcolm Butler is what we thought
Speaker 1: he was a few years ago. And you know, if
Speaker 1: there was whispers of them going after jadeveon Clowney and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want Clowney and Tennessee on a
Speaker 1: long term deal, but he'd give them a little bit
Speaker 1: of spice and a little bit of identity. So I
Speaker 1: think that the next move for Tennessee is is adding
Speaker 1: someone to the defense that kind of keeps offensive coordinators
Speaker 1: up at night, and then maybe running back to pair
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry, because do you really want to run
Speaker 1: him completely into the ground unless he's you know, a
Speaker 1: short term option here. A j. Brown was such an
Speaker 1: important hit for them at larger either because that position
Speaker 1: has seemed like a need for them for so long
Speaker 1: and now it's so far down on the list. I
Speaker 1: agree with you, Mark, They're gonna have to concentrate on
Speaker 1: defense just to replace the left, and especially if they
Speaker 1: don't resign Logan Ryan. Yeah, they signed Vic Beasley, which
Speaker 1: it was a one year deal. It's only so much risk,
Speaker 1: but you don't expect him to turn things around. They've
Speaker 1: been pretty generic. They like they have a personality, like
Speaker 1: a big, physical team that's a little bit better than
Speaker 1: some of their parts. But you you guys said it
Speaker 1: that there's no one on defense. I think that that
Speaker 1: worries the opposition. I might have missed this mark. Did
Speaker 1: they plug in Jack Conkland replacements? They have a guy
Speaker 1: in their roster and think he's been there a while,
Speaker 1: Kelly sound tackle swing tackle. Jennet's Kelly disgraced cop. It's funny.
Speaker 1: This is the tight and they're the first team that
Speaker 1: we're like in the DNA. The weather is great in
Speaker 1: l A. This week's oh yeah, beautiful board. Now my
Speaker 1: vault part. Finally, the Indianapolis Colts cults Chris Wesley, Well
Speaker 1: this guy? I mean, you get Brandon Breen, Brandon Bean props,
Speaker 1: how about Chris Ballard. I don't see a glaring weakness
Speaker 1: on this roster in any way, shape or form. The
Speaker 1: The biggest issue to me is whether Philip Rivers works
Speaker 1: out or not. If he's washed up. Then quarterback, you're
Speaker 1: back to square one with Jakobe Pursetta guy. You see
Speaker 1: more as a high end backup or the perfect backup
Speaker 1: than than a solution. But I can see them going
Speaker 1: left tackle, wide receiver, tight end, running back, edge rusher,
Speaker 1: developmental quarterback. They have drafted so well in the mid
Speaker 1: rounds and they could go any of those ways, but
Speaker 1: there is nothing they desperately need. M West is still
Speaker 1: in on the Colts. He did he kind of got
Speaker 1: got robbed. Me disagree that they that they have a
Speaker 1: glaring weakness. No, I kind of like the Cults. I
Speaker 1: think if I had to pick an a f C
Speaker 1: South team, it would be the Cults. Although it's it's
Speaker 1: got to be the most open division maybe in the
Speaker 1: entire league. Do you like giving away the thirteenth overall pick,
Speaker 1: um four DeForest Buckner when they have I think they
Speaker 1: have a few distinct needs. You know, they could use
Speaker 1: another wide receiver, but I i the Forest Buckner will
Speaker 1: change that defense. Yes, because like they have all the
Speaker 1: cap space in the world. In the best case scenario,
Speaker 1: you hit on DeForest Buckner, you know, with the third
Speaker 1: team pick, and that is a great scenario and you
Speaker 1: got to use the Yeah, it's really hard to get
Speaker 1: ship players in free agency. They got one in in Buckner,
Speaker 1: and if Rivers works out, that's another one. I know
Speaker 1: we talked about the idea of Jake Briskett maybe reassuming
Speaker 1: a starting roll down the line, but I think it's
Speaker 1: far more likely that they'll bring in a young quarterback
Speaker 1: that will be the Phil Rivers successor that's not Jake Briskett.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they they're laying in the weeds, uh,
Speaker 1: since they don't have a huge need. If they have
Speaker 1: a quarterback they love that falsom, would they pull the
Speaker 1: trigger or they would I guess they'd have to move
Speaker 1: up since I don't know what Kelly? What about Chad?
Speaker 1: I love Chatty Kelly, but uh, you know, he's a
Speaker 1: disgrace cop. But I love Chad every Kelly that's a
Speaker 1: disgraced cop him I have good feelings for. But no,
Speaker 1: they don't seem to love him in that building or
Speaker 1: set them free. They took a step back on defense too.
Speaker 1: They need some difference makers on defense too. I mean
Speaker 1: that's why they got free right. Finally, the n f
Speaker 1: C West, starting with the Chargers, a little got a
Speaker 1: little rough there, Dicey at the end of the AFC South,
Speaker 1: But we're gonna come on, sho. Why what do you
Speaker 1: mean it was rough? I don't know. I felt like
Speaker 1: we ran out of things to talk about the last
Speaker 1: couple of teams. But we are going to just try.
Speaker 1: You're trying to time it to the two minutes. You
Speaker 1: don't want to start into some other big points what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. We can talk about the Chargers all
Speaker 1: day long. I mean, who doesn't love this America's um
Speaker 1: They've got the number six over I'll pick and you
Speaker 1: assume that they would take to uh if he's there,
Speaker 1: and what is that and we're done? They would take
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert if he's there, or maybe who knows, maybe
Speaker 1: they love just love but they could go another route.
Speaker 1: I mean, their roster looks so good. If they really
Speaker 1: did believe in Tyrod and you already added like an
Speaker 1: All Pro and trade turner to the offensive line, you
Speaker 1: added Brian Bulaga, who's better than any tackle they've had,
Speaker 1: and you add another tackle forget it. I mean that
Speaker 1: suddenly they got a great offensive line, right, But then
Speaker 1: they're one of these teams that's like, look, at us
Speaker 1: were very talented except for a quarterback and the whole
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor song and dance. That's nice. I think that
Speaker 1: they um they like him as a player, But give
Speaker 1: me a break. How do you walk into a new
Speaker 1: stadium and try to sell Tyrod Taylor as your starter
Speaker 1: in this BMS gigantic fresh New Los Angeles playing ground scenario. No,
Speaker 1: you gotta get a quarterback. You gotta do it. They
Speaker 1: have to decide one way or another. If Tyrod Taylor
Speaker 1: is your guy, then you're not drafting a quarterback at
Speaker 1: number six. You go win with Tyrod Taylor, build up,
Speaker 1: get bigger, get another big running back, run the ball,
Speaker 1: because that's what you're gonna do with Tyrod. If if
Speaker 1: he's not your guy, if he's just a band aid,
Speaker 1: then you need a number three receiver behind Mike Williams
Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen, and you need you need to draft
Speaker 1: a quarterback at number six. They got a lot of
Speaker 1: people they gotta pay coming up to both uh and
Speaker 1: eventually Darwin James. That's in a few years, Keenan out.
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they actually almost have two good
Speaker 1: a roster. They're gonna have to stir paying these guys.
Speaker 1: Didn't this play out exactly the same way in Cleveland
Speaker 1: where Tyrod was positioned as a starter. Then they grabbed
Speaker 1: someone at the top of the fourth round a starter
Speaker 1: in March. Yeah, it all feels highly familiar, all right,
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, that's right, Las Vegas. Uh secondary
Speaker 1: needs a ton of help. Ranked in past defense d
Speaker 1: v o A last season. Uh so that makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. They had Eli Apple on the hook
Speaker 1: one year deal that fell through. Again, I'll throwout jeff
Speaker 1: A Kuda. I think he's an interesting guy at the
Speaker 1: top of the draft. Not as a prospect. I'm not
Speaker 1: here to tell you whether the guy can play or not,
Speaker 1: but where he falls, whether the Raiders people think the
Speaker 1: Lions might take him at three three, I'm seeing him
Speaker 1: go in the back half of the top ten. Could
Speaker 1: the Raiders get aggressive and trade up? Uh? Can they
Speaker 1: pass on a Kuda if he was there at eleven
Speaker 1: or twelve and good conscious? I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Um that said, they also will have a great wide
Speaker 1: receiver on the board at twelfth overall, and the current
Speaker 1: group includes Tyrell Williams, Nelson, Agilar Hunter, Renfro But they
Speaker 1: still have that Antonio Brown sized hole on the depth chart,
Speaker 1: So it makes so much sense that a wide receiver quotes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I see this with two of their first round picks.
Speaker 1: I think wide receiver and cornerback make the most sense.
Speaker 1: L s U C. J. Hen Here's Henderson if they
Speaker 1: don't get a Kuda. I've been reading that some people
Speaker 1: actually like Henderson better than a Kuda, and he's a
Speaker 1: better cover corner. So we'll see you on that one.
Speaker 1: And they are screaming for a playmaking wide receiver, so
Speaker 1: that has to be priority number one, I would think,
Speaker 1: because Tyrolle Williams is nice, but he's not a true
Speaker 1: number one. And Aglar I don't think he's a number
Speaker 1: two hud to renfro Greg exactly where he should be
Speaker 1: right there, locked in for the next decade. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this this draft should set up well for them. Most
Speaker 1: people think it is really a top three receivers that
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs is right there with Judy and Lamb, and
Speaker 1: like physically he's about as imposing and just seems like
Speaker 1: a guy that Jon Gruden and Mayok would love. So
Speaker 1: one of those three should be there, at the very
Speaker 1: least for the Raiders to day. The Raiders could be
Speaker 1: I just noticed Mark's wearing Rob Lowe's NFL hat right, Well,
Speaker 1: that was like blue over white. But I hear you,
Speaker 1: there's no over logo from a distance. Uh. Mark Sessler
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. I mean
Speaker 1: it chiefs to me compared to what's happened to the
Speaker 1: Rams over the last couple of years, like walk into
Speaker 1: UM defending their crown with so many people intact already
Speaker 1: on offense. Um, I guess for me, the question would be,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to focus on defense, I think. And
Speaker 1: they've got a couple issues at cornerback. Kendall Fuller's gone.
Speaker 1: Um Mo Claiborne, who I think appeared in eight games
Speaker 1: last year but was important for them at periods, is gone. Uh.
Speaker 1: They could use help there. They're pretty patchwork at linebacker
Speaker 1: right now. And I would say the other if you
Speaker 1: wanted to hit offense, maybe, um, your offensive line. You've
Speaker 1: got guys like and they believe me. I'm no cam
Speaker 1: Irvan fan, but they did a better job with him
Speaker 1: than the Browns did. Um with new skis gone as well,
Speaker 1: so you could use a little help there. But I
Speaker 1: would never put it past the Chiefs. It would depending
Speaker 1: on where they where, who falls to them, just to
Speaker 1: take another the fastest player they can add to their
Speaker 1: offense and keep dropping bombs on a division that I
Speaker 1: think is in a lot of trouble as long as
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is healthy. Yeah, they drafted McCool Hardman in
Speaker 1: the second round last year, and after resigning Watkins and
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson, he's still the the number four guy on
Speaker 1: the depth chart. They have speak coming out of their ears.
Speaker 1: I know Dan wanted Jamie and Williams to be the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP or something, but they could use a
Speaker 1: running back to at some point. Uh where're you Dan
Speaker 1: and the like? Are we sure we want to want
Speaker 1: to give Patrick Mahomes? They they cleaned up in sandwiches
Speaker 1: on Patrick Mahomes. Okay, maybe it was maybe it was West.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, he should have been the m v P.
Speaker 1: I stand by that. But you mentioned taking a playmaker
Speaker 1: like there. You know running backs are gonna go early
Speaker 1: in this draft. Maybe they take one of the top
Speaker 1: one or two running backs even wouldn't shock me at
Speaker 1: the end of the first round. I mean, I I'm
Speaker 1: thinking though, cornerback linebackers where I think they will go.
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs sometimes zig. When we're thinking they're gonna do,
Speaker 1: everyone thinks something else. I kind of don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna resign Chris Jones long term too, just because they
Speaker 1: have to sign Mahomes. They haven't even really tried to
Speaker 1: sign Chris Jones long term at this point. Um, so
Speaker 1: that's a whole They did bring back, but Shad and
Speaker 1: recently on a cheap contract, hit a nice super Bowl,
Speaker 1: pretty good run teams. I mean, they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: pay my homes soon and it's been the biggest deal
Speaker 1: in the history of football. Fifty million dollars there. Well,
Speaker 1: it's every penny and that's it. We went around, didn't.
Speaker 1: Oh it's another West pet team. Oh no, finally, but
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. This is a team one of my favorite
Speaker 1: off seasons. And I know I'm higher on the Broncos
Speaker 1: always than I should be. But getting Drell Casey, like
Speaker 1: Mark said, for a song, adding a good lineman like
Speaker 1: Graham Glasgow, bringing him Melvin Gordon to pair with Philip Lindsay.
Speaker 1: Your defense I think is pretty much set. It's the offense,
Speaker 1: and I think The one caveat is even if you
Speaker 1: think Drew Lock has a lot of potential, that is
Speaker 1: a that is such a what if it's such a
Speaker 1: question mark at quarterback, and especially with nothing behind him. Um,
Speaker 1: I would like to see them get somebody, probably a veteran,
Speaker 1: but the glaring hole there is a number two wide
Speaker 1: receiver behind Courtland Sutton, and I think you still have
Speaker 1: some work to do on the offensive line. As I
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, would not surprise me if they moved up
Speaker 1: to somewhere like number nine in Jacksonville slot for one
Speaker 1: of the big wide receivers. There no way trade up before.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's not as scared to do that.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be scared of then of of like upsetting
Speaker 1: Drew Locks like fragile, uh, you know, psyche or something.
Speaker 1: If they bringing in a veteran, just bringing in value,
Speaker 1: just going in a handholder, Ricky, that was not two minutes?
Speaker 1: What was that? It really was? No that felt Ricky.
Speaker 1: We were having so much fun at the time shot
Speaker 1: by Yeah the time clause when you're having fun, Ricky. Uh.
Speaker 1: If Ricky had that off by so much, it makes
Speaker 1: you wonder about the accuracy of all of them. No,
Speaker 1: I've been tracking him on my phone. So okay, how
Speaker 1: how long was that one when or something and came
Speaker 1: back and it's like, I guess it's been two minutes.
Speaker 1: That was about one minute in twenty four seconds. So
Speaker 1: the poor broadcast. They're already upset with everyone but West
Speaker 1: thank used wide receiver two. Right. I think you mentioned
Speaker 1: that until they started winning games, they don't have any
Speaker 1: right to be upset with anyone except their own front office.
Speaker 1: Give me a fun division. I feel like any one
Speaker 1: of those teams could be a surprise playoff team other,
Speaker 1: you know, other than the Chiefs. All right, there we
Speaker 1: go around the a f C in thirty two minutes.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, two minutes, perfectly perfect amount
Speaker 1: of time. Some teams that could have been around the
Speaker 1: team in ninety seconds. It would have been great. A
Speaker 1: little more confidence in our in our leadership next time
Speaker 1: would be appreciated. What you're right, when you're right, you're right?
Speaker 1: Was uh? And I will say that West, if you
Speaker 1: are going to pump up the Bermuda Triangle of the NFL,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to beef up those AFC SALTH teams
Speaker 1: in the back end of the two minutes next time.
Speaker 1: That's fair, That is fair. I think we're all making
Speaker 1: good points here. All right, we will be uh returning
Speaker 1: with the around the NFC in thirty two minutes. I know,
Speaker 1: do you guys want to do it this week or
Speaker 1: do you want to maybe push pause in this because
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like that that's a lot
Speaker 1: to do back to back shows. We don't have to
Speaker 1: make any promises too much football for Dan in back
Speaker 1: to back show, it wasn't I wasn't quite as fun
Speaker 1: as usual, but it was nice solid football. Top Let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the Roosevelt Knicks and the old
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a better show. Yeah, but weren't you guys
Speaker 1: doing this like off drafting stuff? What's up? We can
Speaker 1: squeeze it. We'll do it next at the very well,
Speaker 1: we have guests. We have guests lined up, so we'll
Speaker 1: have to see see how that all works at we can,
Speaker 1: we can, We could do it next week. We could
Speaker 1: do it Tuesday or something next week. Who who did
Speaker 1: the cults? By the way, I did right? Who did
Speaker 1: Rosie Nicks? Did he come up in your two minutes?
Speaker 1: I don't think he did? Know we we don't spend
Speaker 1: whole lot of time on on a position that only
Speaker 1: gets three snaps a game, major and a major fullback
Speaker 1: presence cover the long snapper either, just just so you know,
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff. It's I like the football talk,
Speaker 1: right I do. But let's you know, let's not you know,
Speaker 1: totally nerded out every show, is what I'm saying. Mix
Speaker 1: in the fun, the mirth with the analysis. I think
Speaker 1: we've had that covered. Yeah, this feels like a topic
Speaker 1: from our first year or two of the podcast. How
Speaker 1: much should be football and how much should be mirth? Right?
Speaker 1: Finding a balance. Greg's like I need Peter Schreeger to
Speaker 1: respect me, so all analysis and then I'm like, all
Speaker 1: mirth because I'm the fun guy. You know. It's interesting
Speaker 1: now you see that. Yeah, I definitely struck a card
Speaker 1: here by bringing this up. I think a nice split football.
Speaker 1: The rest of the nonsense, so much more to life. Mark,
Speaker 1: all right, that's it, good stuff. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Reminded of the Twitter show. It's back on Friday, so um,
Speaker 1: don't miss it. Do not miss it. That's an orner Eric,
Speaker 1: Do you have anything to before we say goodbye again?
Speaker 1: The program didn't have as much time for you. But
Speaker 1: that's yeah, no, it was cool. I I just tuck
Speaker 1: myself out and I just watched the clock, and you know,
Speaker 1: flew some graphics. I'm legit narrows down on equal rights
Speaker 1: unto let's see spe
