WEBVTT - NFL Reaction: How Mahomes & Chiefs return to Super Bowl, Stafford & Rams DOOMED? 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.520 Welcome in What Driving nick Wright Episode three point fifty six. 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.600 This episode, as always of What Drivin nick Wright, is 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.799 brought to you by boost Mobile. A ton to do today. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.200 It is officially, as we have said a few times, 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.360 football season and the Cowboys, once again in August, have 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.960 kind of hijacked the news cycle. But this one, I 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.560 think now, I think I know that I feel at 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.240 least pardon me, is a little different than the last 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.600 couple of years. We will explain why in a moment, 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.800 but first straight the voicemail brought to you once again 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:43.160 by our friends at boost Mobile. The Bills make their 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.960 Hard Knocks debut, you know, to de monsee's kind of 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.479 a sad thing that's happened. I don't even hard Knocks 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.159 is gone. I'm not trying to I'm not taking shots. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.800 The Hard Knocks has gone from like, oh my god, 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.240 appointment television too. I don't even like the Bills are 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.800 one of the teams I'm most interested in, and now 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.520 it's just kind of like backburner. And maybe that's also 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.760 a part of that is the way people consume media 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.679 these days. I figure, if there's anything really awesome, I'll 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.000 find out about it the next day anyway and be 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:23.240 able to go back and watch. But I Hard Knocks 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.559 once one a time was one of my favorite shows ever. 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.160 And now there's a super interesting team that is the 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.840 only real alleged rival of my team, and I know 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.560 nothing about episode one, and so I think team or 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.200 something or no, that's my point. I don't think they 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.480 could have picked a team other than Kansas City that 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.920 I would be more interested in. And I'm still not 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.720 watching it. I just think that there is now so 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.280 much access and there's en season ar Knocks offseason r Knocks, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.160 that it may be lost a little bit of it's, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.280 at least for me, the flares maybe the wrong word, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.239 but exclusivity also Antonio Pierce, life comes at you fast 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.080 in the NFL. One week, you've got the blueprint for 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.720 stopping Mahomes. The next week, you're wearing all Chiefs gear 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.680 walking down in UH Saint Joseph, Missouri, hoping to get 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.160 a job like such his life. For a lot of 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.640 former Raider coaches, UH, you talk a lot of big 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.040 game about beating the Chiefs. You're not able to beat 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.280 the Chiefs, and then you say, hey, maybe you need 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:33.359 a linebackers coach, and the NFL does not ban smelling salts. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.840 They banned the team providing smelling salts, which is odd, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.880 but it really seems like players were not gonna have 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.520 it like that. Have you demontey, have you ever tried 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:46.480 smelling salts? 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.079 Yeah, I've done. I've smelled them one time. I'm pretty sure, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:51.160 like one time. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.800 So it was just like they're around really, so yeah, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:55.880 I don't. I've never. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.600 I don't think it was first I've never. Like it 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.400 wasn't got a game or anything. It was just like 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:00.120 a try it. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.840 You were like at a like a music festival or something, 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.799 and you like huffed the smelling salt to get going. 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.800 Not to get going, honestly, just took it just to 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.919 see what do Like, I've always seen people's sad and 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.200 they take that I needed to see. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:19.280 When I was like ten or eleven, I was having 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.840 friends sleep over and one of my friends tried to 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.400 like jump down the final few steps going into our 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.400 basement and we kind of had a low overhang from 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.680 the ceiling and he whacked his head on it bad 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:37.080 bad enough that it like cracked the plaster or whatever, 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:43.120 and he I think was pretending now that I look 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.400 back on it, thirty years later to be unconscious. But 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.680 we were all freaked out, and I remember vividly going 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.600 upstairs and getting just table salt and putting a handful 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.560 of it and like holding it up to his nose. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.240 I was ten years old. A man, I don't know 0:03:59.240 --> 0:03:59.880 what I was doing. 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.440 I just I thought you were gonna say you actually 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.040 found some smelling salts, and you put. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.880 No, no, no. I just like I thought smelling salt was 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.600 smelling was killed. I was like, let me, yeah, let 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.520 me try to wake this kid up, all right. Reminder, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.320 the only place you're gonna get stories like that from 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.280 my childhood and Kansady, Missouri is the What's d I 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:24.960 even think Wright podcast? Like rate, subscribe, review uh and 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.520 check us out on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, all of that. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.960 Lever review It actually truly does help. I would not 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.359 be having us lead with the Cowboys demands if I 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.000 thought what was going on was a bunch of nothing. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.760 But I don't think it's a bunch of nothing, So 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.680 let's start there. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.679 So the Micah Parsons trade request drama continues, Jerry Jones 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.040 saying that Micah might not play Week one or he 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.880 doesn't even know if that's gonna be happening. But the 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.120 weird thing is mic has already reported camp, so he 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.760 has to be playing. Is this just an maneuver by 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:01.840 Jerry to make headlines. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.640 No, I don't think it is. Now Willy or Won'ty 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.599 play Week one is interesting and that is an important clarification. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.960 Micah gave up people famously, remember a couple of years ago, 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.520 Chris Jones sitting out Week one, sitting in the luxury 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.760 box with his agents what watching the Chiefs lose to 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:28.400 the Lions. The NFL rules on this are very They're 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:35.040 very straightforward. If you never report to training camp, that 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.599 is your right, and the only punitive measure the team 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.040 can take against you is financial fifty thousand a day 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:50.159 fins and then game checks if you miss games. But 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.520 other than that, they can't suspend you because of it. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.440 They can't. Your contract doesn't toll because of it, and you, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.159 in theory, could hold out all the way until the 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.279 night before I think it's Week ten, then show up, 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.520 play the rest of the year and get credit for 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.520 a full season. If you're willing to take the financial hit. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.600 That's if you never show up. If you do show up, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.719 you cannot leave. It's a weird thing when if you 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.880 show up and then leave, it's like the NFL version 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.920 of going a wall in the military. They give you 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.560 a five day letter that says you got to show 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.760 back up within five days, and if you don't, then 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.000 you are on ice for the year. They can't even 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.279 if they say all right, never mind, we're cool with 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.520 it two weeks later, it doesn't matter. You're essentially a 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.560 retired player for that season and your contract does not 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.080 advance a year. So that's why nobody ever shows up 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.400 and then leaves. You can't do it. That is so 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:02.520 Micah by showing up and then when Jerry says he 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.960 might not play Week one, all that means is that 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.960 he thinks Micah might be like, am I back? But 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.840 he can't not be there. He can just be like, 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:19.000 I'm too injured to play. And the reason so that 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.160 I just kind of sets the template for where we are. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.240 I want to further flesh out how we got here 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.680 because there is an element of this story that I 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.120 think it's obviously been reported. It's how I know it. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.720 I'm not going to act like demons. It hasn't been reported, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.600 but I think it has been under I don't think 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:48.160 it's been focused on enough, and that is this, Jerry 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.920 Jones has not had one single negotiation with Michael Parsons agent. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.800 I will say that again, Jerry Jones and the Dallas 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:06.040 Cowboys have not had a single negotiation with Micah Parsons agent. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:15.640 There is absolutely no justification for that whatsoever. Jerry has 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.560 made it clear since Micah's trade demand he has not 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:26.280 talked to Micah or his agent. There is absolutely no 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:34.600 justification for that whatsoever. Jerry has made it clear he 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.600 believes he and Micah came to terms on a deal. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.880 You guys know how I feel about that. That. I 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:49.439 think that holding a non negotiating party to a deal 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:56.359 that was struck via handshake with a negotiating party is unethical. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:02.800 But even if you think that should be the framework 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:09.920 of the deal, Jerry needs to communicate that to Micah's 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:18.320 agent and the fact that they will not negotiate, even 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:23.200 if we think it's a combination of while Jerry's being 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.679 stubborn and thinks he and Mike have a handshake deal, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:33.720 and the fact that Jerry doesn't mind the Cowboys staying 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.640 in the headlines so he'll just get this done in 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.480 late August or early September, like he did with Dak 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:45.840 and Ced. I think under sells the damage with Jerry's 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.720 commentary the last week he has done to this relationship. Now, 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:56.760 is it salvageable, Sure, but there's two prongs here that, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:02.360 in my opinion, are pretty clearly problematic. Prong one is, 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.840 even if it gets done on the timeline of Dak, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:12.600 the night before the first game, Dak was in, was practicing. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.520 Dak was in doing all of the stuff to get 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.440 ready for the season, Mike is out there just chilling. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.600 And if the cow like the Cowboys play the freaking 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:31.080 Philadelphia Eagles week one, if they have any hope of 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:38.120 having a surprisingly great season that starts with a fast 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:43.440 start with upsetting the Eagles in Week one, and you're 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:49.160 off to the races, You're now obviously behind the eight 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:58.719 ball on that. But the other I think longer lasting 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:06.720 concern is this is real damage to the trust and 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:12.800 relationship you have between you and your best player, and 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:19.240 no one has properly explained any justification for how Jerry's 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.240 handled this. There is no go. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.040 Ahead and Jerry needs to be talking to his agent. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.600 Is his agent reaching out to Jerry like as Jerry, Yes, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.840 that's what we won't talk. 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.680 No. So the the one O five three the fan 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:38.800 in Dallas, uh yesterday reported that the agent reached out 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.600 twice in the last eighteen months, and then the Cowboys 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:43.320 won't call him. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.559 Jerry's saying, and I won't engage. 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:47.080 Say it again. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.839 Jerry's just saying, we already have it in writing. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.960 Yes, No, well not in writing that we have it. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.920 We have a handshake deal. Jerry's saying, it's not in writing, 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.560 but we have it agreed upon. But here is the 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:03.800 other problem with that, and this is you know, yesterday's 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.720 price is not today's price. If you agreed to it 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.280 in March and you think that's the deal you should have, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.920 that should have been done. You should have figured out 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.080 out a way to get it signed in March. But 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.640 you also, Jerry know, here is the problem with Jerry's 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.480 comment this week about I bought the Cowboys on a 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:28.400 handshake deal. One hundred percent. That happens like big high 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:38.120 level business and real estate transactions and acquisitions and mergers, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:43.000 all this stuff that happens over a dinner or on 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:50.000 the golf course. General framework handshake all the time. But 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.520 that is when both parties involved. Are there? Are there 0:12:54.640 --> 0:13:03.120 organization's lead negotiator and the I used on TV yesterday 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.680 that I was hesitant to use but because it has 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.600 bad connotations, But I don't think anyone will listen interpret it. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:17.480 It's why if you're questioned by the police you say 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.319 I don't want to talk to you, my lawyer is 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:25.000 going to like, I pay this guy to do this 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:31.360 for me. Now my lawyer cannot agree, you know, agree 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.520 to a plea bargain without me signing off on it. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.560 I am the final yes or no. But I am 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:45.880 not engaging with you professional interrogators or negotiators, you know, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.160 depending on the analogy you want to use, when I'm 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:55.960 not that. And so I do think like there's a 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:01.480 lot of business that is done where you verbally in 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:05.640 a meeting agreed to something and then you paper it later. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:13.520 But first of all, that has to involve the people 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.440 who are supposed to be the ones negotiating, and second 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:29.120 of all, that absolutely runs the risk of facts on 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:34.760 the ground changing and a deal not being signed. And 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:41.640 so I I am listen. I have I like Micah 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:47.840 full disclosure. I know Micah a little bit, but he 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:53.440 hasn't been talking to me about his negotiation. But I've 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:58.280 never disliked Jerry Jones. I have found him cartoonish at times, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.000 a bit of a carnival b Barker, But I think 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:08.200 he serves a purpose in the NFL. But this is ridiculous, 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:16.720 And to just once again remind the audience of before 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.640 we move on the thing we did on Tuesday about 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:27.280 this Micah's draft class. The first overall pick Trevor Lawrence 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.040 got a contract extension top of the market. The fifth 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.600 overall pick Jamar Chase got a contract extension top of 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.040 the market. The sixth overall pick Jalen Watdo got a 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.480 contract extension top of the market at the time for 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.600 wide receiver twos. The seventh overall pick Penney Sewell got 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.120 a contract extension top of the market for offensive tackles. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.160 The eighth overall pick j C. Horn, and the ninth 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.840 overall pick Pat Sartan Junior Pat Sartan the second pardon 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.400 Me got contract extensions top of the market for their 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.800 for corners. The tenth overall pick Devonte Smith got a 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.040 contract extension at the top of the wide receiver two market, 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:09.680 and the thirteenth overall pick Rashaun Slater got a contract 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.880 extension at the top of the tackle market. The top 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.520 thirteen picks from that draft four years ago have not 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.200 gotten extensions. Or Zach Wilson who's been on a bunch 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.760 of teams, Trey Lance who's been on a bunch of teams, 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.520 Kyle Pitts who has underwhelmed, Justin Fields who's been on 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:30.760 a bunch of teams, and Micah freaking Parsons. It's an outrage, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:39.760 and it's an outrage to not directly negotiate with Micah now, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.360 I mean with Mike's agent. Pardon me. Now, if after 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:52.400 directly negotiating with David Mullagetta, you then determine Micah wants 0:16:53.040 --> 0:17:00.040 fifty million a year with two hundred million guaranteed, and 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.960 then you can break off negotiations, then you can say 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.159 too rich for our blood. But to never negotiate with 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.119 him and instead of hide behind we came to a 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.679 handshake deal in March is absolute nonsense. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.560 As you're I know you're trying to finish up with 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.120 as you're likely maybe what if from Tuesday change with 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:25.560 the with isn't he. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.400 I still think it's likely the Cowboys re sign him, 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.639 but I now would say maybe maybe that he just 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.679 plays out this year. And the what if is what 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.320 if they trade him? And yeah, and I saw the 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.920 Aaron Donald if he got trades to the Rams, he'd 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.200 come out of retirement thing. I don't think the Rams 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.600 can make it work. But Micah, Jared Verse and an 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.760 out of retirement Aaron Donald be pretty sick. Yeah, then 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.800 all of a sudden, I wouldn't be so worried about 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.120 Matt Stafford's back. All right, dog days summer, which means 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.000 it's time for the boys this summer to kick it 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.080 into gear.

So picking and Gabriel out. 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.320 Black Ow obviously isn't playing for the obvious, so it 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.440 sure's time to shine. He's getting He's gonna play against 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.159 Carolina tomorrow. Do you think that he has more to 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:20.639 gain here or more to lose? 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:27.000 Oh? I think he has more to gain, but he 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:31.800 has a lot to lose too. I think that what 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:39.719 he has to gain is if he cooks and looks, 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:45.200 you know, hand by cooks. He doesn't, it's just handles. 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.240 The offense well, makes a couple of nice throws, doesn't 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:54.280 make avoids any horrific mistakes, you know, running around back 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:58.960 and forth, taking a bad sack, fumbles, those things. And 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:05.440 then after game two of the preseason, when Dylan Gabriel 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:12.000 will get to play, if Gabriel struggles, to me and 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:16.000 I think Gabriel is likely to struggle. And again folks 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.080 can say, Nick, this is your bias against small quarterbacks, 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:24.720 and I would say that is correct. One of two 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:29.680 things Demons is likely to would I shouldn't say likely, 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.720 would have to happen. If Sharudur plays well in preseason 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:37.920 game one and then Gabriel struggles in preseason game two, 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.919 I would think one of these two things would happen. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:48.800 One should or would elevate past Gabriel on the depth chart, 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.800 which is all he could hope for his Shadur's goal 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:58.800 realistic goal was never be the week one starting quarterback. 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.280 Maybe it was personally, but it was not. You know, 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:05.240 that shouldn't have been. I shouldn't say I don't care 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:07.680 what his personal goal is. That's not a realistic goal 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:09.679 for him to do as a fifth round pick with 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.439 all those quarterbacks on the roster, A realistic goal, however, 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:20.679 was when we break camp, when preseason is over, I 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:24.560 want to be the highest ranked rookie on the quarterback 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:29.680 depth chart. I think that's very important, and because that 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.960 means when the inevitable Flacco benching happens, he can get 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:39.280 in there. Uh So that should be his That's what 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.400 he can That's one of the things he can gain. 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:48.200 The other opportunity thing, and this might be a better opportunity, 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:56.919 to be totally honest, is if he plays well and 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:01.320 then Gabriel struggles in Week two and he doesn't move 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.960 up the depth chart. I wonder if another team calls 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:11.920 Cleveland's like, hey, you know we'd be interested. You drafted 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.840 him for a fifth, we'll give you a fourth, Like 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.160 it didn't make sense for us a few months ago. 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.359 And the team that I keep going back to man 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:26.720 is the Rams because if Stafford's back really is a problem, 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.679 you can't, in my opinion, go into a year with 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:36.560 your only real backup quarterback being Garoppolo because he is 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.560 himself such an injury risk. But the Rams wouldn't be 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:47.120 the only team that I would think it would make sense. Now, 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:54.040 obviously the Steelers didn't have interest in Shore Dolphins. The Dolphins, 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:59.080 I feel like I was thinking more a team that 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:03.440 is not looking Adam for this year, but might look 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:08.000 for him long term. Dolphins. They brought in Zach Wilson, 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.800 so you know what I mean, like they But that's 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:14.720 not a bad one. I'm the The reason I said 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.760 the Rams is they might have a need for spots 0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:21.920 starter this year, but also this could be Stafford's last year, 0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:24.760 you know what I mean? So like that to me 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:32.480 is an interesting one, and I don't know if there aren't. Again, 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:36.639 it's not a lot of obvious places the car, but 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:43.399 I feel like, oh, that's interesting. I gotta look and 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.760 see who the cardinals backup quarterback is. I don't remember that. 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.399 Oh it's Jacoby So yeah. I mean that's not a 0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:55.400 terrible one either. If I were Shador, however, I don't 0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.600 think not that he would necessarily have a say. I 0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:01.240 wouldn't love if the Cardinals traded for me, because the 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.560 Cardinals hope is that Kyler is their guy for the 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:07.080 next five years. Like the Browns are not a terrible 0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:11.240 spot for him, inasmuch as they have no future plan. 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.480 The Rams would not be a terrible spot because they 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:18.439 have this great head coach, but an old, banged up quarterback. 0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.199 It's the same reason a lot of people thought the 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:27.159 Steelers in theory could sign Rogers and still draft Shadoor like, 0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:30.800 you know, more as a long term piece. And so 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.600 that is what he has to gain. Here's what he 0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:41.320 has to lose, though, Palell. If he plays poorly, he 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:45.280 is fourth string and he's gonna stay there for the 0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.960 time being. And you don't rise up from fourth string 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:55.280 your rookie year ever. And so this is listen, this 0:25:55.400 --> 0:26:00.320 is pro sports. He everything, and this this is a 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:07.160 point Danny made yesterday on the TV show that came 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:14.520 across as harsh but is correct. Schador did not earn 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:20.080 starting the first preseason game. Now he has handled himself 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.920 really well. He has I think practiced well that that's 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:28.679 at least according to the reports. But the Browns still 0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:32.679 have him listed as their fourth string quarterback. He is 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:37.320 starting because their first string quarterbacks forty, their second string 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:41.240 quarterbacks injured, and their third string quarterbacks injured. So this 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.879 isn't an instance of you know, rapid assent. This is 0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:50.199 an instance of everything falling just right to give you 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:55.080 this opportunity. And that can be a blessing or a curse. 0:26:55.160 --> 0:27:00.600 Man that can be damn straight. This is how I 0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:02.400 get out there and show them what I can do, 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.000 and it also can be a ship. I needed another 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.960 few weeks, I needed more training camp practices, And now 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.920 the image everyone's gonna have of me is me. 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.040 Like it's not like even if Shador does bad, like 0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:22.040 doesn't mean the Gabriel is gonna do well. So no, 0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.720 I'm not saying is going to do poorly. 0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:28.520 But it's like I just know it's that's fair, but 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:34.399 you've you don't move if the third string and fourth 0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:38.680
