1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:27,388 Speaker 1: partnership with Iheartradioy goot Hey. Welcome to Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:27,428 --> 00:00:29,748 Speaker 1: Welcome inside. We're live in New York City. It's Monday, 4 00:00:29,788 --> 00:00:32,948 Speaker 1: March sixth. I'm Jamie Arto. Kyle Brandt is here, back 5 00:00:32,948 --> 00:00:34,828 Speaker 1: in his rightful chair that he almost falls off of 6 00:00:34,908 --> 00:00:37,468 Speaker 1: every day. Cameron Wolf first time or at the breakfast 7 00:00:37,468 --> 00:00:39,308 Speaker 1: table here with us for a couple of days. And 8 00:00:39,348 --> 00:00:41,108 Speaker 1: then Marcus Coon, who please don't sit on your chair 9 00:00:41,188 --> 00:00:43,268 Speaker 1: like the way Kyle does, because I'd be worried about 10 00:00:43,948 --> 00:00:46,228 Speaker 1: blaze on the edge. Yeah, stay, keep it even, keep 11 00:00:46,228 --> 00:00:48,668 Speaker 1: it balanced, just like your takes have been great all day, 12 00:00:48,988 --> 00:00:52,148 Speaker 1: very zen like absolutely fresh faces at the breakfast table. 13 00:00:52,268 --> 00:00:56,948 Speaker 1: Lots to discuss post Combine, pre free agency frenzy, but 14 00:00:57,148 --> 00:00:59,028 Speaker 1: let's kick it off with our first topic of the day. 15 00:00:59,108 --> 00:01:02,348 Speaker 1: Tom Pelsero with the news. What's happening on this Monday morning. Well, Jamie, 16 00:01:02,388 --> 00:01:04,828 Speaker 1: we are coming up on free agency, where plays find 17 00:01:04,868 --> 00:01:06,908 Speaker 1: their new teams. This is also the time of year 18 00:01:06,948 --> 00:01:10,188 Speaker 1: where some veterans end up leaving their long time teams. 19 00:01:10,268 --> 00:01:13,108 Speaker 1: That is the case in Minnesota, where I am told 20 00:01:13,228 --> 00:01:17,388 Speaker 1: veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks is being released by the Vikings. 21 00:01:17,508 --> 00:01:20,068 Speaker 1: Kendricks was a first team All Pro just back in 22 00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:24,348 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. One of the most consistently productive linebackers in 23 00:01:24,388 --> 00:01:28,068 Speaker 1: the NFL. He has averaged one hundred and fifteen tackles 24 00:01:28,108 --> 00:01:30,628 Speaker 1: over his eight seasons and still performing at a pretty 25 00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:32,908 Speaker 1: high level at the age of thirty one. But this 26 00:01:32,988 --> 00:01:35,308 Speaker 1: is a Vikings team that des by going thirteen and 27 00:01:35,388 --> 00:01:37,708 Speaker 1: four last season, has some work to do in terms 28 00:01:37,748 --> 00:01:41,348 Speaker 1: of rutulian that roster and clearing cap space for twenty 29 00:01:41,388 --> 00:01:44,548 Speaker 1: twenty three. Another veteran player who could be moving on 30 00:01:44,748 --> 00:01:48,028 Speaker 1: is Rams wide receiver Alan Robinson, who just one year 31 00:01:48,068 --> 00:01:51,668 Speaker 1: after signing with LA in free agency, has been granted 32 00:01:51,668 --> 00:01:54,468 Speaker 1: permission to seek a trade, and the Rams are willing 33 00:01:54,468 --> 00:01:57,708 Speaker 1: to pay a portion of portion of Robinson's more than 34 00:01:57,788 --> 00:02:02,388 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars salary to facilitate a deal. Robinson is 35 00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:05,788 Speaker 1: still only twenty nine years old. Towing the next gen stats, 36 00:02:05,788 --> 00:02:08,268 Speaker 1: he was open more than any Rams wide receiver in 37 00:02:08,308 --> 00:02:11,268 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, including Cooper Cup, but it did not 38 00:02:11,468 --> 00:02:14,948 Speaker 1: translate into productivity. It was not a good fit, and 39 00:02:15,028 --> 00:02:17,868 Speaker 1: now it appears that there's a good chance that Robinson 40 00:02:17,948 --> 00:02:21,308 Speaker 1: could be moving on guys. Meanwhile, tom big date tomorrow, 41 00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:24,628 Speaker 1: tag deadline tomorrow for two quarterbacks. Everyone has their eyes on, 42 00:02:24,668 --> 00:02:27,068 Speaker 1: of course Daniel Jones here in New York, and then 43 00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:30,748 Speaker 1: the incredible story of Lamar Jackson. Please, I beg you, 44 00:02:30,828 --> 00:02:33,668 Speaker 1: what does the latest give it to us? Kyle Ravens 45 00:02:33,748 --> 00:02:37,108 Speaker 1: general manager Eric de Costa recently traveled to Lamar Jackson's 46 00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:40,748 Speaker 1: hometown of Miami in hopes of being able to work 47 00:02:40,788 --> 00:02:45,348 Speaker 1: out a contract resolution. However, I am told that after 48 00:02:45,388 --> 00:02:48,868 Speaker 1: more than a year of negotiations, the sides remain apart, 49 00:02:49,148 --> 00:02:52,548 Speaker 1: and it appears that Jackson is headed towards a franchise 50 00:02:52,588 --> 00:02:56,428 Speaker 1: tag before Tuesday's deadline. Ravens have said publicly that if 51 00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,948 Speaker 1: there's no long term deal, which has been their priority, 52 00:02:59,148 --> 00:03:02,108 Speaker 1: and they were prepared to tag Jackson. The question now 53 00:03:02,268 --> 00:03:05,068 Speaker 1: is whether Jackson would receive the exclusive of tag meeting 54 00:03:05,108 --> 00:03:08,748 Speaker 1: he could only negotiate with Baltimore, or the non exclusive tag, 55 00:03:08,748 --> 00:03:11,628 Speaker 1: which would allow Jackson to negotiate and potentially sign an 56 00:03:11,628 --> 00:03:14,588 Speaker 1: offer sheet with a different team. The Ravens then would 57 00:03:14,588 --> 00:03:17,468 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to match or lack Jackson go for 58 00:03:17,588 --> 00:03:20,868 Speaker 1: two first round picks. There is also a possibility that 59 00:03:20,908 --> 00:03:25,068 Speaker 1: Baltimore could shop Jackson gage the trade market and ultimately 60 00:03:25,348 --> 00:03:28,668 Speaker 1: move on for a windfall of draft picks. However, important 61 00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:31,828 Speaker 1: to note that Jackson would effectively have veto power over 62 00:03:31,908 --> 00:03:34,788 Speaker 1: any trade because he would need to sign his franchise 63 00:03:34,868 --> 00:03:39,228 Speaker 1: tender to facilitate a deal. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones agents and 64 00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:43,108 Speaker 1: the Giants left Indianapolis after several days of meetings with 65 00:03:43,188 --> 00:03:48,028 Speaker 1: no contract agreement in sight. Giants are prepared to franchise 66 00:03:48,708 --> 00:03:51,628 Speaker 1: franchise Tag Jones if no long term deal is done 67 00:03:51,628 --> 00:03:55,948 Speaker 1: by Tuesday, still about thirty one hours until that tag deadline, 68 00:03:56,068 --> 00:03:59,068 Speaker 1: but it does appear at this particular moment as if 69 00:03:59,068 --> 00:04:02,028 Speaker 1: it's leaning toward a tag for Daniel Jones, which would 70 00:04:02,068 --> 00:04:04,908 Speaker 1: mean no tag for sae Quon Barkley. Guys, Tom, thank 71 00:04:04,948 --> 00:04:07,108 Speaker 1: you you always bring everything we need to know. In 72 00:04:07,148 --> 00:04:10,668 Speaker 1: those segments. We're kind of flirting with becoming the Today's 73 00:04:10,668 --> 00:04:13,068 Speaker 1: Show and the Smucker's Birthday segment because we mentioned Kyle 74 00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:16,228 Speaker 1: Trask turned twenty five today. Mike McDaniel is actually forty today. 75 00:04:16,348 --> 00:04:18,268 Speaker 1: Tom Pallisero, you don't have to admit how old you are, 76 00:04:18,268 --> 00:04:22,068 Speaker 1: but happy birthday, Mighty, Happy birthday. Birthday I appreciate it 77 00:04:22,108 --> 00:04:24,388 Speaker 1: at least one. Remember the Pellisero family is watching Good 78 00:04:24,388 --> 00:04:27,108 Speaker 1: Morning Football. Because my uncle Jerry texted me about an 79 00:04:27,108 --> 00:04:29,988 Speaker 1: hour ago and said, happy birthday. You share it with 80 00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:32,748 Speaker 1: Kyle Trask. I figured it had to have been something 81 00:04:32,828 --> 00:04:34,908 Speaker 1: on this show, because that's not just a random fact. 82 00:04:34,948 --> 00:04:37,428 Speaker 1: Somebody knows Shaquille O'Neil is the same birthday as me. 83 00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:39,508 Speaker 1: That's what I know. But happy birthday to mister Trask 84 00:04:39,588 --> 00:04:42,588 Speaker 1: as well. Mayn March six, A great day for great people. Tom. 85 00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:44,588 Speaker 1: We appreciate you, and Hi to uncle Jerry as well. 86 00:04:44,668 --> 00:04:47,508 Speaker 1: Talk to you a little bit, Palicero. Enjoy a franchise 87 00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:50,028 Speaker 1: tag day tomorrow and have yourself a slice cake. Let's 88 00:04:50,028 --> 00:04:51,948 Speaker 1: take a look at how the Ravens have fared with 89 00:04:52,108 --> 00:04:55,668 Speaker 1: and without Lamar Jackson since week eleven of twenty nineteen, because, 90 00:04:55,668 --> 00:04:57,668 Speaker 1: as Kyle mentioned, it is an absolute roller coaster. It 91 00:04:57,668 --> 00:04:59,708 Speaker 1: feels like we have all been on and he's at 92 00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:01,908 Speaker 1: the forefront of it. But since he became the starter, 93 00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:04,948 Speaker 1: they're in the numbers. No doubt that Baltimore is better 94 00:05:05,268 --> 00:05:08,708 Speaker 1: with number eight under center than without. We have been 95 00:05:08,748 --> 00:05:12,228 Speaker 1: talking about this story forever. It's not going anywhere despite 96 00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:14,908 Speaker 1: the decision that will inevitably be made about Lamar Jackson. 97 00:05:15,028 --> 00:05:17,868 Speaker 1: How this materializes for the Ravens and their quarterback is 98 00:05:17,868 --> 00:05:20,228 Speaker 1: what's going to be fascinating, because it feels like this 99 00:05:20,308 --> 00:05:21,748 Speaker 1: is the first time this has gone down in a 100 00:05:21,748 --> 00:05:23,828 Speaker 1: situation like this, but it won't be the last, because 101 00:05:23,908 --> 00:05:25,748 Speaker 1: quarterbacks they know what they're worth now and they know 102 00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:27,628 Speaker 1: what they want to be paid. Thinking about all the 103 00:05:27,668 --> 00:05:30,388 Speaker 1: factors that are included in this situation regarding Lamar Jackson 104 00:05:30,388 --> 00:05:32,788 Speaker 1: and his potential long term contract or not, where do 105 00:05:32,868 --> 00:05:34,988 Speaker 1: the Ravens go from here and how do they handle 106 00:05:35,028 --> 00:05:37,948 Speaker 1: this franchise tag deadline? Kyle, you get to start. Oh good, 107 00:05:38,228 --> 00:05:42,068 Speaker 1: kick it off, buddy. I am about this much surprised 108 00:05:42,068 --> 00:05:43,708 Speaker 1: that we're talking about this in this sism going on 109 00:05:43,748 --> 00:05:46,548 Speaker 1: for a year plus. Eric da Costa, at some point 110 00:05:46,588 --> 00:05:48,548 Speaker 1: when his carusover is going to write a memoir and 111 00:05:48,628 --> 00:05:52,188 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to read what he writes about this, 112 00:05:52,428 --> 00:05:54,628 Speaker 1: because I just think that this massive factor that we've 113 00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:56,588 Speaker 1: hit a hundred times about Lamar not having an Asian, 114 00:05:56,748 --> 00:05:59,868 Speaker 1: it looms huge in this. Da Costa said this from 115 00:05:59,868 --> 00:06:01,628 Speaker 1: the combine, I think when you deal with an Asian 116 00:06:01,708 --> 00:06:04,548 Speaker 1: sometimes you're able to speak very freely, position yourself in 117 00:06:04,628 --> 00:06:06,788 Speaker 1: a certain way. You have different arguments. Maybe then you 118 00:06:06,788 --> 00:06:08,748 Speaker 1: would say to a player, in other words, you talk 119 00:06:08,788 --> 00:06:10,948 Speaker 1: to an agent, you say, look, get his butt to 120 00:06:10,988 --> 00:06:13,468 Speaker 1: sign this. It's the final thing, and we're moving on. Lamar. 121 00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:15,588 Speaker 1: We love you, we want to work. He's been doing 122 00:06:15,588 --> 00:06:19,188 Speaker 1: that for a year. That must be exhausting. He's traveling 123 00:06:19,188 --> 00:06:22,548 Speaker 1: to Miami, no progress. The elephant in the room is 124 00:06:22,628 --> 00:06:24,588 Speaker 1: Lamar wants the world, and the Ravens don't want to 125 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:26,628 Speaker 1: give it to him. That's just a fact. I'm sure 126 00:06:26,628 --> 00:06:30,428 Speaker 1: they've given him very generous contract offers. They should. My 127 00:06:30,588 --> 00:06:33,308 Speaker 1: question now is as Tom saying the non exclusive tag, 128 00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:36,028 Speaker 1: that happens, all right, he can talk to other teams. 129 00:06:36,308 --> 00:06:39,308 Speaker 1: Are people storming the castle for Lamar? Like, for sure, 130 00:06:39,548 --> 00:06:41,028 Speaker 1: you know one hundred percent that they're going to do 131 00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:43,828 Speaker 1: that that teams like the Jets or all these Panthers, 132 00:06:43,868 --> 00:06:46,308 Speaker 1: all these teams that need quarterbacks. Are we positive that 133 00:06:46,428 --> 00:06:48,308 Speaker 1: they want to say, oh my god, we're gonna jump 134 00:06:48,308 --> 00:06:50,108 Speaker 1: in Lamar and we're going to sign them the biggest 135 00:06:50,108 --> 00:06:52,428 Speaker 1: deal ever. We're going to bring this player. And I 136 00:06:52,548 --> 00:06:54,948 Speaker 1: don't know, because it's gonna be the same thing with him. 137 00:06:55,028 --> 00:06:57,028 Speaker 1: Lamar's not gonna hire an agent. They're gonna have to 138 00:06:57,108 --> 00:06:59,068 Speaker 1: deal with the same negotiations stuff that the Ravens are 139 00:06:59,108 --> 00:07:01,548 Speaker 1: dealing with. And with Lamar, it always comes back to, well, 140 00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:04,188 Speaker 1: he's twenty six and he's a former MVP. I know. 141 00:07:04,828 --> 00:07:06,988 Speaker 1: Do you know that Cam Newton was an MVP and 142 00:07:07,028 --> 00:07:09,548 Speaker 1: he had maybe the greatest MVP season I've ever seen. 143 00:07:09,788 --> 00:07:11,588 Speaker 1: He was off the team four years later, and he 144 00:07:11,628 --> 00:07:13,748 Speaker 1: was out of the league six years later. You want 145 00:07:13,748 --> 00:07:15,468 Speaker 1: to say, oh, if you have a talent like Lamar, 146 00:07:15,508 --> 00:07:17,308 Speaker 1: you have to give him this big contract. Look at 147 00:07:17,308 --> 00:07:19,988 Speaker 1: the Packers right now, Look at the Cardinals right now, 148 00:07:20,188 --> 00:07:22,628 Speaker 1: Look at the Broncos right now. Do you not think that, 149 00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:24,988 Speaker 1: at least for the final one, they might not want 150 00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:26,948 Speaker 1: to do a control all the leite and reset that 151 00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:28,668 Speaker 1: thing because they paid all the money in the world 152 00:07:28,668 --> 00:07:31,548 Speaker 1: and their quarterbacks don't even get hurt. I guess Kyler does. 153 00:07:31,588 --> 00:07:35,028 Speaker 1: But this Lamar thing, he's excellent. He's excellent. No one's 154 00:07:35,068 --> 00:07:37,508 Speaker 1: doubting that. It's very difficult to work with right now 155 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:41,028 Speaker 1: in the contract sense. He's injured. You worry that maybe 156 00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:43,108 Speaker 1: some of his skills will deteriorate and we're paying for 157 00:07:43,148 --> 00:07:46,388 Speaker 1: a deteriorating asset. It's so much more complicated than Lamar's 158 00:07:46,388 --> 00:07:48,908 Speaker 1: amazing Pam everything. It's not that simple Cam, especially when 159 00:07:48,948 --> 00:07:51,148 Speaker 1: there's no Asia and it's him you're talking to. Yeah, Kyle, 160 00:07:51,148 --> 00:07:53,628 Speaker 1: this is one of the more difficult quarterback situations I've 161 00:07:53,668 --> 00:07:56,308 Speaker 1: seen since I've covered this, because you talk to people 162 00:07:56,308 --> 00:07:58,668 Speaker 1: at the combine, other coaches from other teams, and they're like, 163 00:07:58,908 --> 00:08:01,108 Speaker 1: I guess you have to franchise tag them, right, you 164 00:08:01,228 --> 00:08:03,428 Speaker 1: have to keep them. But the element that you know 165 00:08:03,428 --> 00:08:05,748 Speaker 1: you don't want to talk about is what's that relationship 166 00:08:05,828 --> 00:08:08,308 Speaker 1: like after you franchise Tag up. It's been kind of 167 00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:11,068 Speaker 1: messy this all season. You get Rashad Dateman tweeting at 168 00:08:11,068 --> 00:08:14,268 Speaker 1: the GM about how he's handled some of the receiver elements, 169 00:08:14,348 --> 00:08:16,348 Speaker 1: the injury thing, how it handled at the end of 170 00:08:16,348 --> 00:08:18,308 Speaker 1: the season. Is he hurt? Is he not hurt? What's 171 00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:20,948 Speaker 1: the rehab situation? Is he supposed to be at the game. 172 00:08:21,148 --> 00:08:23,948 Speaker 1: This is a Ravens organization that's been really really well 173 00:08:24,068 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 1: run for a while, but this offseason that seemed really sticky. 174 00:08:27,348 --> 00:08:29,788 Speaker 1: And so if you put Lamar in a tag situation, 175 00:08:30,028 --> 00:08:33,228 Speaker 1: are you essentially inviting everyone else to get the trade offs, 176 00:08:33,348 --> 00:08:35,468 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, talking in Indie, there wasn't 177 00:08:35,468 --> 00:08:38,028 Speaker 1: a lot of like I would go all in for Lamar. 178 00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:41,148 Speaker 1: Who's that team? Atlanta makes a lot of sense to me. 179 00:08:41,228 --> 00:08:43,188 Speaker 1: They have a lot of cap room. They spent the 180 00:08:43,268 --> 00:08:45,988 Speaker 1: last two years building up for this moment, but there's 181 00:08:45,988 --> 00:08:48,668 Speaker 1: been nothing certain what they give up two first round 182 00:08:48,668 --> 00:08:51,628 Speaker 1: picks and give them that contract. The Shawn Watson contract 183 00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:55,428 Speaker 1: complicates all of this because he provides the mark that 184 00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:57,348 Speaker 1: you want to get as a quarterback. But you're looking 185 00:08:57,348 --> 00:08:59,948 Speaker 1: at Lamar Jackson, who's missed ten games in the last 186 00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:02,228 Speaker 1: two years, who has not been the same quarterback since 187 00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:04,588 Speaker 1: this MVP year. We've seen the Ravens record at four 188 00:09:04,588 --> 00:09:06,788 Speaker 1: and eight when he doesn't play, And so what do 189 00:09:06,868 --> 00:09:08,908 Speaker 1: you do? I think the Ravens are spending a lot 190 00:09:08,948 --> 00:09:10,188 Speaker 1: of time with this, and they also have to be 191 00:09:10,268 --> 00:09:13,148 Speaker 1: delicate with the language they use with Lamar and how 192 00:09:13,188 --> 00:09:15,988 Speaker 1: he treats the situation. So I'm very eager to see 193 00:09:16,068 --> 00:09:18,748 Speaker 1: if he does get the tag tomorrow, how he reacts 194 00:09:18,868 --> 00:09:21,348 Speaker 1: and what the Ravens do from there. Yeah, honestly, I 195 00:09:21,388 --> 00:09:24,308 Speaker 1: think it's it's just a messy situation down and with 196 00:09:24,388 --> 00:09:26,668 Speaker 1: the Ravens because the problem is Lamar should have had 197 00:09:26,668 --> 00:09:29,068 Speaker 1: a contract in place for a long time. In my opinion, 198 00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:31,388 Speaker 1: I think it's not okay that you see so many 199 00:09:31,508 --> 00:09:34,948 Speaker 1: more mediocre quarterbacks getting big deals, long term deals, and 200 00:09:34,988 --> 00:09:36,548 Speaker 1: a guy like Lamar Jackson has been the face of 201 00:09:36,548 --> 00:09:38,508 Speaker 1: the franchise for the Ravens now for a long time. 202 00:09:38,548 --> 00:09:40,548 Speaker 1: He's literally carrying the team on his back in a 203 00:09:40,588 --> 00:09:42,788 Speaker 1: lot of games. And that's also a reason why he's 204 00:09:42,788 --> 00:09:45,308 Speaker 1: getting injured, because he has to play the way he 205 00:09:45,348 --> 00:09:47,908 Speaker 1: plays to obviously perform to that level, but also to 206 00:09:47,908 --> 00:09:50,228 Speaker 1: actually make the rest of the team successful sometimes. And 207 00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:51,988 Speaker 1: I think if you look around the league and these 208 00:09:51,988 --> 00:09:53,988 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks getting the big pay days, and I don't 209 00:09:54,028 --> 00:09:55,788 Speaker 1: care if you talk to the agent or you talk 210 00:09:55,828 --> 00:09:58,548 Speaker 1: to Lamar personally, because I think he's a smart guy. 211 00:09:58,588 --> 00:10:00,708 Speaker 1: It seems reasonable to one extent. But then you look 212 00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:02,348 Speaker 1: around the league and say, hey, this guy is getting this, 213 00:10:02,388 --> 00:10:03,908 Speaker 1: this guy is getting this. What have I've been doing? 214 00:10:03,948 --> 00:10:06,388 Speaker 1: And you could extended me maybe two years ago, now 215 00:10:06,388 --> 00:10:08,708 Speaker 1: another year. So I think the longer you drag it out, 216 00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:11,708 Speaker 1: the worst that also that relationship might gonna get And 217 00:10:11,748 --> 00:10:13,588 Speaker 1: I think maybe some other teams they're playing it a 218 00:10:13,628 --> 00:10:15,388 Speaker 1: little bit close to the vest and not jumping all 219 00:10:15,388 --> 00:10:17,668 Speaker 1: over Lamar Jackson right now because they maybe see some 220 00:10:17,748 --> 00:10:18,988 Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel that there is 221 00:10:19,028 --> 00:10:20,828 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get a guy like that. And I 222 00:10:20,868 --> 00:10:22,748 Speaker 1: think that's also a reason why you don't hear crazy 223 00:10:22,748 --> 00:10:24,668 Speaker 1: buzzer right now, because I think if they give them 224 00:10:24,788 --> 00:10:28,348 Speaker 1: understricted tag where other teams can slowly give offers, I 225 00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,228 Speaker 1: think then we hear a lot more buzz about Lamar 226 00:10:30,348 --> 00:10:32,748 Speaker 1: what's actually going on. And so many times the agents 227 00:10:32,868 --> 00:10:35,148 Speaker 1: feeding the stories about oh, I've heard from this team 228 00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:36,948 Speaker 1: or heard from this team, Lamar is not going to 229 00:10:37,028 --> 00:10:38,668 Speaker 1: do this himself, Who's going to do it for him? 230 00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:40,908 Speaker 1: So I think that's maybe we don't hear as much 231 00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:44,228 Speaker 1: in this case, particularly because Lamar is not doing it himself. 232 00:10:44,508 --> 00:10:47,148 Speaker 1: I'm really not here for the guy doesn't have an agent. 233 00:10:47,268 --> 00:10:50,748 Speaker 1: Slander from the GMS. I think it's bs when they 234 00:10:50,788 --> 00:10:54,148 Speaker 1: do that, because you are, as the GM of a team, 235 00:10:54,188 --> 00:10:56,948 Speaker 1: allowed to put this narrative out and you are almost 236 00:10:56,948 --> 00:11:00,268 Speaker 1: punishing this player, whoever it may be, despite depending on 237 00:11:00,308 --> 00:11:02,868 Speaker 1: the circumstance, for not having representation, for not kind of 238 00:11:02,948 --> 00:11:05,228 Speaker 1: leaking their own stuff or being you don't think you 239 00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:06,908 Speaker 1: can have sit in a room Erica Cosston have a 240 00:11:06,948 --> 00:11:09,268 Speaker 1: hard conversation with Lamar Jackson. Why did it take you 241 00:11:09,308 --> 00:11:11,468 Speaker 1: so long to reportedly fly to Miami and have these 242 00:11:11,548 --> 00:11:14,028 Speaker 1: hard conversations. I cannot believe that this has not been 243 00:11:14,068 --> 00:11:16,228 Speaker 1: done yet. And you can't even say that you can't 244 00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:18,388 Speaker 1: have these types of conversations. Who are a player without 245 00:11:18,388 --> 00:11:20,628 Speaker 1: an agent? Because I'm parely certain that you traded for 246 00:11:20,668 --> 00:11:23,508 Speaker 1: a linebacker from Chicago this season and signed him to 247 00:11:23,548 --> 00:11:25,988 Speaker 1: a five year, one hundred million dollars deal in Roquan Smith, 248 00:11:25,988 --> 00:11:28,628 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have representation either, So what are we doing? 249 00:11:29,028 --> 00:11:31,428 Speaker 1: Why are you out here, Toudy? He's our guy, We 250 00:11:31,548 --> 00:11:33,788 Speaker 1: love this guy, he's our quarterback. Then do something about it. 251 00:11:33,828 --> 00:11:35,668 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that you didn't get it done before 252 00:11:35,748 --> 00:11:38,148 Speaker 1: March twenty first of last year when the Browns signed 253 00:11:38,188 --> 00:11:40,468 Speaker 1: their quarterback to a long term deal and they reset 254 00:11:40,508 --> 00:11:42,588 Speaker 1: the market. That is your fault that you didn't get 255 00:11:42,588 --> 00:11:44,508 Speaker 1: it done, But now you still have to answer for it. 256 00:11:44,588 --> 00:11:46,468 Speaker 1: And unless you think you're going to make an entire 257 00:11:46,548 --> 00:11:49,508 Speaker 1: wholesale offensive change, because you just got a new offensive 258 00:11:49,508 --> 00:11:52,508 Speaker 1: coordinator and Todd Munkin. Maybe they're hinting at the fact 259 00:11:52,508 --> 00:11:54,348 Speaker 1: that they're going to change the nature of this team. 260 00:11:54,468 --> 00:11:56,308 Speaker 1: That's on you, and you can make that decision, then 261 00:11:56,308 --> 00:11:58,748 Speaker 1: that's your prerogative. But I can't with this. If he 262 00:11:58,828 --> 00:12:00,868 Speaker 1: had an agent, then we could have these hard conversations. 263 00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:02,948 Speaker 1: This some bull and Lamar has a very smart dude. 264 00:12:02,988 --> 00:12:05,588 Speaker 1: He has a visor, people helping him from the situation. 265 00:12:05,628 --> 00:12:07,668 Speaker 1: So it's not like this guy who's just doesn't know 266 00:12:07,708 --> 00:12:13,348 Speaker 1: what he's doing. Yeah, and the reality is Lamar, although 267 00:12:13,348 --> 00:12:15,948 Speaker 1: we have questions about his injuries when he's on, he's 268 00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:19,348 Speaker 1: still the most dynamic quarterback in football and this team 269 00:12:19,668 --> 00:12:21,748 Speaker 1: is built around him. And so the Ravens have some 270 00:12:21,868 --> 00:12:25,268 Speaker 1: very serious conversations to have this offseason because the old 271 00:12:25,268 --> 00:12:27,748 Speaker 1: saying in the NFL, if you have a franchise quarterback, 272 00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:30,228 Speaker 1: you don't let him go. And so you blame Lamar 273 00:12:30,268 --> 00:12:32,508 Speaker 1: all you want, You say this and that, but you 274 00:12:32,508 --> 00:12:34,428 Speaker 1: figure out a way. You figure out a way to 275 00:12:34,508 --> 00:12:37,268 Speaker 1: smooth it over and take care of your quarterback, be creative, 276 00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:39,308 Speaker 1: do whatever you need to do. You can't let this 277 00:12:39,348 --> 00:12:41,908 Speaker 1: guy out the building because your team is built around him. 278 00:12:41,948 --> 00:12:45,308 Speaker 1: Imagine a Ravens team starting over without Lamar. Sometimes you're 279 00:12:45,308 --> 00:12:47,068 Speaker 1: also sending the wrong signals to the rest of the 280 00:12:47,068 --> 00:12:49,108 Speaker 1: guy in the locker room. Right, the guy is doing 281 00:12:49,188 --> 00:12:51,668 Speaker 1: he's playing his butt off, he's doing everything right. He's 282 00:12:51,668 --> 00:12:53,868 Speaker 1: showing up every day to work. He's not complaining about 283 00:12:53,908 --> 00:12:56,668 Speaker 1: the new contract. So many guys would have complained every year, 284 00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,468 Speaker 1: where's my money, where's my money? This guy is not 285 00:12:58,508 --> 00:13:00,068 Speaker 1: doing any of that. The rest of the locker room 286 00:13:00,108 --> 00:13:01,268 Speaker 1: is go look at him, saying, you know what, this 287 00:13:01,268 --> 00:13:02,988 Speaker 1: guy is doing everything right, he's not getting paid. What 288 00:13:03,028 --> 00:13:04,588 Speaker 1: about me? So I think that's a bad taking a 289 00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:06,668 Speaker 1: too from the GM. Frankly, I think Lamar did the 290 00:13:06,748 --> 00:13:08,908 Speaker 1: Ravens of Favor last August when we were doing this, 291 00:13:08,948 --> 00:13:10,988 Speaker 1: and he shut it down when the season began. He's like, 292 00:13:11,028 --> 00:13:12,708 Speaker 1: I'm not answering these questions. I think he did the 293 00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:14,508 Speaker 1: team of favor because he said he doesn't want to 294 00:13:14,548 --> 00:13:16,628 Speaker 1: continue the conversation. Well here we're go picking it up 295 00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:19,708 Speaker 1: again come early March. Unbelievable, but it is a little 296 00:13:19,748 --> 00:13:22,508 Speaker 1: bit more fun tomorrow about so I know exactly all right, 297 00:13:22,588 --> 00:13:24,868 Speaker 1: let the frenzy begin, because that wasn't even that friends, 298 00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:27,868 Speaker 1: that's not even a word. Um, we're gonna pick up 299 00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:33,628 Speaker 1: on it should be a work great. Yeah, forensical's frantic? 300 00:13:33,668 --> 00:13:35,188 Speaker 1: How about that? It was not that frantic. We're all 301 00:13:35,228 --> 00:13:38,348 Speaker 1: talking NFL Top three agents. Later on, I am Plus, 302 00:13:38,708 --> 00:13:42,588 Speaker 1: I'm Brady, Pats Maholmes. Hold on a second, Anthony Richardson, 303 00:13:43,068 --> 00:13:44,868 Speaker 1: Will he be one of the greats? He calls himself 304 00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:47,428 Speaker 1: Cam Jackson because he grew up liking Cam Newton and 305 00:13:47,668 --> 00:13:50,748 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. We'll find out right after this. Actually won't 306 00:13:50,748 --> 00:13:52,068 Speaker 1: find out. We'll find out in seasons to come, but 307 00:13:52,108 --> 00:13:54,588 Speaker 1: we'll talk about right. I love how this was rich 308 00:13:54,628 --> 00:14:11,948 Speaker 1: and famous. We're back on Good Morning Football recapping the 309 00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:15,028 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three NFL scouting Combine presented by No Balls 310 00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:17,268 Speaker 1: in the book. Saul wrapped up Rich Eisen and Daniel 311 00:14:17,308 --> 00:14:20,148 Speaker 1: Jeremiah crushed it from Indianapolis. That's a lot of guys, 312 00:14:20,188 --> 00:14:23,068 Speaker 1: a lot of coverage, a lot of hours spent watching 313 00:14:23,108 --> 00:14:26,028 Speaker 1: the same drills, but there was some there was some 314 00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:28,268 Speaker 1: action that they wanted to recap for us after a 315 00:14:28,388 --> 00:14:33,148 Speaker 1: thrilling few days at Lucas Oil Stadium. Thanks very much. 316 00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:36,268 Speaker 1: All right, Daniel, you're now on the clock to review 317 00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:39,508 Speaker 1: what we just saw him at the combine. And we 318 00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:42,068 Speaker 1: have to start in this quarterback driv in league with 319 00:14:42,068 --> 00:14:45,948 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, I believe this was a really strong quarterback group. 320 00:14:45,988 --> 00:14:48,108 Speaker 1: But it was fun to watch him workout on the field, 321 00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:50,468 Speaker 1: and to me, the best in show was CJ. Stroud 322 00:14:50,588 --> 00:14:53,588 Speaker 1: with the workout that he put forth. Every throw he made, 323 00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:56,308 Speaker 1: he made it with grace and ease. It was one 324 00:14:56,348 --> 00:14:59,108 Speaker 1: of the cleanest quarterback workouts I've ever seen at the combine. 325 00:14:59,108 --> 00:15:00,988 Speaker 1: It was because he was overpowering, because he threw the 326 00:15:01,028 --> 00:15:04,188 Speaker 1: ball hard yards. Every throw was exactly where it needed 327 00:15:04,188 --> 00:15:07,428 Speaker 1: to be, rhythm, timing, accuracy, the deep ball. It was 328 00:15:07,468 --> 00:15:10,588 Speaker 1: a phenomenal day from him. And then Anthony Richardson. So 329 00:15:10,748 --> 00:15:12,828 Speaker 1: much has been talked about about the testing right he 330 00:15:12,908 --> 00:15:15,508 Speaker 1: runs in the four fours, he jumps out of the gym, 331 00:15:15,908 --> 00:15:18,588 Speaker 1: but I thought going through the throwing workout, what he 332 00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:21,708 Speaker 1: did showing the footwork that was continuing to improve and 333 00:15:21,748 --> 00:15:23,948 Speaker 1: get better. We know he can really power the football. 334 00:15:24,148 --> 00:15:26,588 Speaker 1: I thought he showed some touch as well. There is 335 00:15:26,628 --> 00:15:29,948 Speaker 1: a lot of excitement building around Anthony Richardson, so these 336 00:15:30,028 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 1: quarterbacks were exceptional. Will Levis through the ball really well 337 00:15:33,668 --> 00:15:35,908 Speaker 1: as well, and then I'd also add on the offensive side, 338 00:15:35,908 --> 00:15:37,908 Speaker 1: of the ball. Rich the tight ends came into me 339 00:15:38,148 --> 00:15:39,988 Speaker 1: is the deepest group at that position we've seen in 340 00:15:40,068 --> 00:15:42,708 Speaker 1: a decade, and they delivered. And then this whole combine 341 00:15:42,828 --> 00:15:46,948 Speaker 1: started with some really fast defensive lineman that defensive backs 342 00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:50,028 Speaker 1: also were a very deep group. What stands out to 343 00:15:50,108 --> 00:15:52,068 Speaker 1: you a couple of guys I thought that really helped 344 00:15:52,108 --> 00:15:55,508 Speaker 1: themselves amongst a really talented class. Let's go to Klijah Kansey, 345 00:15:55,628 --> 00:15:58,948 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle from Pitt. Now, the question was how 346 00:15:58,988 --> 00:16:00,588 Speaker 1: tall is He's listed at six foot? He thought, is 347 00:16:00,628 --> 00:16:01,988 Speaker 1: he gonna come in at five to eleven? He comes 348 00:16:01,988 --> 00:16:05,148 Speaker 1: in at sixty one. Actually got taller, so that was huge. 349 00:16:05,188 --> 00:16:07,708 Speaker 1: He runs a four six seven or over two hundred 350 00:16:07,708 --> 00:16:10,588 Speaker 1: and eighty pounds, so obviously the comparisons are going to 351 00:16:10,628 --> 00:16:13,908 Speaker 1: be there with Aaron Donald, same school, undersized, explosive, he 352 00:16:14,028 --> 00:16:17,388 Speaker 1: had a phenomenal, phenomenal day. And then Jack Campbell. Look, 353 00:16:17,388 --> 00:16:20,068 Speaker 1: he ran a four six five, which is a fine time, 354 00:16:20,108 --> 00:16:21,828 Speaker 1: but it's not an exceptional time. But he is a 355 00:16:21,868 --> 00:16:24,828 Speaker 1: big linebacker. In the shuttle drills and in the field 356 00:16:24,828 --> 00:16:27,548 Speaker 1: workout really stood out amongst the group. I think he 357 00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:30,388 Speaker 1: really launched himself up the board for a lot of folks, 358 00:16:30,428 --> 00:16:32,748 Speaker 1: A big time day for the Iowa linebacker and so 359 00:16:32,828 --> 00:16:37,748 Speaker 1: the defense offense. Four days, twelve groups, now all over. 360 00:16:37,868 --> 00:16:40,468 Speaker 1: Your final thoughts looking back at the Combine would be, 361 00:16:40,948 --> 00:16:43,068 Speaker 1: this is a good draft, and this is a draft 362 00:16:43,108 --> 00:16:46,068 Speaker 1: that's full of quarterbacks. And that's what drives the discussion. 363 00:16:46,148 --> 00:16:48,148 Speaker 1: Once we get to Kansas City, can you get him 364 00:16:48,148 --> 00:16:49,828 Speaker 1: where you are? Do you need to trade up? How 365 00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:51,628 Speaker 1: much can you get to trade back? We're gonna have 366 00:16:51,708 --> 00:16:54,948 Speaker 1: some fun. Yeah, Next up, franchise tags, then new league year, 367 00:16:55,188 --> 00:16:59,148 Speaker 1: Pro Days, free agency draft. Great job, gonna be a 368 00:16:59,148 --> 00:17:02,268 Speaker 1: fun spring. Great job. Great job for Daniel Jeremiah On 369 00:17:02,468 --> 00:17:07,988 Speaker 1: Richising back to you, I'm the Combine. Yeah, we appreciate 370 00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:10,988 Speaker 1: everything those guys brought this weekend, and we appreciate Anthony 371 00:17:11,108 --> 00:17:13,748 Speaker 1: Richardson for the spectacle that he put on. He knew 372 00:17:14,188 --> 00:17:15,828 Speaker 1: what he had to bring to the table. There was 373 00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,828 Speaker 1: a lot of expectation in terms of his physical gifts. 374 00:17:19,308 --> 00:17:22,628 Speaker 1: He wanted to run a four four forty and he 375 00:17:22,668 --> 00:17:24,548 Speaker 1: went four four to three. So he had a couple 376 00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:26,388 Speaker 1: of other goals that he wanted to accomplish, and he 377 00:17:26,388 --> 00:17:29,028 Speaker 1: spoke with our own Stacy Dale's after the Combine was 378 00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:32,948 Speaker 1: wrapped up to see how he thought he fared. That's 379 00:17:32,988 --> 00:17:34,308 Speaker 1: kind of one of the things I was worried about 380 00:17:34,348 --> 00:17:37,108 Speaker 1: and coming into into this running the four four, hitting 381 00:17:37,108 --> 00:17:38,428 Speaker 1: it as I ever done it in a while. But 382 00:17:38,508 --> 00:17:40,308 Speaker 1: you know, today I came out and did it, so 383 00:17:40,348 --> 00:17:43,548 Speaker 1: I was like, record setting dude. Yeah, definitely, Yeah, And 384 00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:45,748 Speaker 1: that was your goal? Oh yeah, of course you told 385 00:17:45,748 --> 00:17:49,068 Speaker 1: me you wanted over forty on the vertical forty and 386 00:17:49,108 --> 00:17:51,668 Speaker 1: a half. Were you satisfied? Definitely not satisfied. I was 387 00:17:51,708 --> 00:17:54,788 Speaker 1: aiming for forty one, but I guess I'll take fourty now. Now, 388 00:17:54,788 --> 00:17:56,788 Speaker 1: are you disappointed with the broad man? It was only 389 00:17:56,828 --> 00:18:00,028 Speaker 1: ten nine other tied for a record. Definitely disappointed for that. 390 00:18:00,068 --> 00:18:01,508 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to get you eleven, but 391 00:18:01,788 --> 00:18:03,628 Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. How do you 392 00:18:03,668 --> 00:18:06,788 Speaker 1: think you you toss it around today? Big arm? We 393 00:18:06,868 --> 00:18:09,948 Speaker 1: saw you downfield. What was your takeaway? I think I 394 00:18:09,988 --> 00:18:12,348 Speaker 1: did pretty well, you know, definitely room for improvement and 395 00:18:13,028 --> 00:18:15,388 Speaker 1: cleaning up my footwork a little bit. Definitely accuracy, but 396 00:18:15,468 --> 00:18:17,468 Speaker 1: overall think I did pretty well. What are you bringing 397 00:18:17,508 --> 00:18:19,388 Speaker 1: to the next level? Tell me the total package of 398 00:18:19,428 --> 00:18:22,188 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. I guess I definitely say, Okay, what I'm 399 00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:23,788 Speaker 1: what I'm able to bring on the field, but it's 400 00:18:23,788 --> 00:18:25,188 Speaker 1: the stuff off the field, you know. I'd like to 401 00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,108 Speaker 1: connect with people who I could definitely connect with people 402 00:18:27,148 --> 00:18:29,028 Speaker 1: you know, and connect with my teammates. So if we're 403 00:18:29,068 --> 00:18:30,988 Speaker 1: trying to bring that leaders to quality there and definitely 404 00:18:31,028 --> 00:18:35,908 Speaker 1: bring my athletic ability there. Check out lands. Aeroline has 405 00:18:35,908 --> 00:18:38,068 Speaker 1: an article out right now where he breaks down the 406 00:18:38,148 --> 00:18:43,508 Speaker 1: likelihood of teams to draft a quote tools quarterback prospect 407 00:18:43,628 --> 00:18:45,948 Speaker 1: like Anthony Richardson. Man that the combine and the draft 408 00:18:45,948 --> 00:18:47,548 Speaker 1: comes around, were just coming up with the average tips 409 00:18:47,588 --> 00:18:50,628 Speaker 1: left and right. To describe these cornerbacks with tools is 410 00:18:50,628 --> 00:18:52,628 Speaker 1: a good one for Anthony Richardson. You can see all 411 00:18:52,668 --> 00:18:55,428 Speaker 1: the details right now on NFL dot com. It was 412 00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:56,868 Speaker 1: awesome to be an indie because I got to meet 413 00:18:56,908 --> 00:18:58,308 Speaker 1: all these people that we have on the show, like 414 00:18:58,348 --> 00:19:00,748 Speaker 1: ant Think Zeroline. But oh what's up? How you doing? 415 00:19:00,748 --> 00:19:03,028 Speaker 1: I say your name all the time now, So let's 416 00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:05,508 Speaker 1: talk Anthony Richardson once again. We're gonna talk about him 417 00:19:05,508 --> 00:19:07,028 Speaker 1: a lot over the next couple week did himself a 418 00:19:07,068 --> 00:19:10,108 Speaker 1: lot of favors this weekend. Best landing spot for this 419 00:19:10,188 --> 00:19:12,388 Speaker 1: quarterback in the twenty twenty three NFL Draft coming out 420 00:19:12,428 --> 00:19:14,988 Speaker 1: of Florida Marcus. Yeah, honestly, first of all, we talk 421 00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:17,428 Speaker 1: about all this the flicability. Also, we can't forget he 422 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:19,668 Speaker 1: was also I think the tallest and the heaviest quarterbacks, 423 00:19:19,668 --> 00:19:21,428 Speaker 1: so especially some of they that runs that fast and 424 00:19:21,468 --> 00:19:24,428 Speaker 1: probably will run the ball as well. He can take 425 00:19:24,468 --> 00:19:26,708 Speaker 1: some impact too. But I'll see him kind of maybe 426 00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:28,748 Speaker 1: going to Seattle. To be honest, you know, I think 427 00:19:28,788 --> 00:19:31,908 Speaker 1: they're currently picking out around five. Maybe they're bringing Gino 428 00:19:32,028 --> 00:19:34,668 Speaker 1: back for another year so he can actually have some 429 00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:36,788 Speaker 1: time to develop, because I think he actually needs some time. 430 00:19:36,908 --> 00:19:39,148 Speaker 1: Sometimes when he pushed his young quarterbacks in a situation 431 00:19:39,148 --> 00:19:40,788 Speaker 1: where I have to perform right away, it doesn't do 432 00:19:40,868 --> 00:19:42,628 Speaker 1: him well. We start with Gino Smith, who actually went 433 00:19:42,668 --> 00:19:44,428 Speaker 1: through a few progressions, went to a few team until 434 00:19:44,428 --> 00:19:46,508 Speaker 1: he hit the right landing spot. Yeah, I think Seahawks 435 00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:48,028 Speaker 1: would be a great fit for him, and I think 436 00:19:48,068 --> 00:19:50,068 Speaker 1: if with a little bit time to develop, he actually 437 00:19:50,228 --> 00:19:52,508 Speaker 1: could have a great career. Yeah, or the Seahawks Lagino 438 00:19:52,588 --> 00:19:54,268 Speaker 1: Walk you know, and he goes to free agency and 439 00:19:54,268 --> 00:19:56,068 Speaker 1: they're like euar upe. Dude. When I look at these 440 00:19:56,108 --> 00:19:58,788 Speaker 1: it's it's tempting to think of Paians about where is 441 00:19:58,828 --> 00:20:00,948 Speaker 1: wide receivers or running backs? And that's all great, that's 442 00:20:00,948 --> 00:20:02,748 Speaker 1: a luxury to me. I just want an offensive line 443 00:20:02,788 --> 00:20:05,108 Speaker 1: in front of the guy, any young guy. And Indianapolis 444 00:20:05,108 --> 00:20:07,708 Speaker 1: and number four Indianapolis Colts have taken two quarterbacks in 445 00:20:07,708 --> 00:20:09,788 Speaker 1: the first round since nineteen ninety eight, Andrew Luck and 446 00:20:09,788 --> 00:20:11,948 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. That's it, that's all they've done. We know, 447 00:20:12,108 --> 00:20:14,028 Speaker 1: we talk about all the time that they just do 448 00:20:14,108 --> 00:20:16,868 Speaker 1: like the pop and replace any name veteran, you can 449 00:20:16,948 --> 00:20:18,748 Speaker 1: name him. For the last six years. This would be 450 00:20:18,788 --> 00:20:21,468 Speaker 1: the full start anew the first. They have a fourth 451 00:20:21,468 --> 00:20:23,708 Speaker 1: overall pick, so they could draft from there, or they 452 00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:25,428 Speaker 1: can move. They can move to three, they can move 453 00:20:25,468 --> 00:20:27,468 Speaker 1: to one, they can move anywhere. They actually do have 454 00:20:27,548 --> 00:20:29,548 Speaker 1: good wide receivers, they do have the running game, they 455 00:20:29,588 --> 00:20:31,828 Speaker 1: have the Dome. It's a Midwest team. You're gonna be 456 00:20:31,828 --> 00:20:34,148 Speaker 1: playing in the Dome under an exciting system that they 457 00:20:34,188 --> 00:20:36,708 Speaker 1: have there and a new head coach. I love it. 458 00:20:37,108 --> 00:20:39,948 Speaker 1: And maybe Indianapolis doesn't blow everybody's hair back. But if 459 00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,148 Speaker 1: there's ever a team that said this is our guy, 460 00:20:42,148 --> 00:20:44,188 Speaker 1: that we're gonna plant our flaggon for the next decade 461 00:20:44,228 --> 00:20:46,428 Speaker 1: and we're gonna protect him and build around him. We're 462 00:20:46,428 --> 00:20:48,828 Speaker 1: not gonna do Carson Wentz, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryans, Kobe 463 00:20:48,828 --> 00:20:51,868 Speaker 1: perct We're gonna do this guy, Anthony Richardson. We're gonna 464 00:20:51,868 --> 00:20:54,188 Speaker 1: be behind our line and protect him. I like it. 465 00:20:54,268 --> 00:20:55,908 Speaker 1: I think it works, and it's right around that area 466 00:20:55,908 --> 00:20:57,428 Speaker 1: of the draft. Or maybe they can do it, Kyle. 467 00:20:58,148 --> 00:21:01,548 Speaker 1: I'll like Indianapolis there first, dude, Shane Stiken was the 468 00:21:01,548 --> 00:21:04,268 Speaker 1: guy in Philadelphia with Jalen Hurston. Are different type of players. 469 00:21:04,508 --> 00:21:06,388 Speaker 1: You see a type of mobile quarterback who, if you 470 00:21:06,508 --> 00:21:09,868 Speaker 1: developed him right, can become an MVP candidate. And that's 471 00:21:09,908 --> 00:21:12,748 Speaker 1: the hope with Anthony Richardson. Two three years of development 472 00:21:12,788 --> 00:21:15,108 Speaker 1: as a passer, you catch him up to that. You're 473 00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:16,948 Speaker 1: just coming off of that in Indianapolis. So I like 474 00:21:17,068 --> 00:21:19,908 Speaker 1: that too. But my favorite spot for him is Carolina. 475 00:21:20,108 --> 00:21:23,108 Speaker 1: I really look at that staff. You got Frank Reich, 476 00:21:23,228 --> 00:21:25,588 Speaker 1: you got Thomas Brown, who Reich raved about as a 477 00:21:25,588 --> 00:21:28,508 Speaker 1: guy who is a former running back but could develop quarterbacks. 478 00:21:28,708 --> 00:21:31,428 Speaker 1: You got Josh McCown in that room, and then Jim Calwell, 479 00:21:31,508 --> 00:21:34,708 Speaker 1: who has been a quarterback mastermind everywhere he goes. So 480 00:21:34,828 --> 00:21:38,628 Speaker 1: many quarterbacks either secede or fail based on what teams 481 00:21:38,628 --> 00:21:41,148 Speaker 1: and coaches they go to. And I think Carolina will 482 00:21:41,188 --> 00:21:43,108 Speaker 1: be a great spot for him to develop in that 483 00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:45,788 Speaker 1: NFC South. I think that they like him a lot 484 00:21:45,828 --> 00:21:48,668 Speaker 1: of hurt. Their meetings went great. He killed it on 485 00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:51,348 Speaker 1: the whiteboard. As I mentioned earlier, Carolina was a team 486 00:21:51,388 --> 00:21:53,348 Speaker 1: that was really eager to see how he would do 487 00:21:53,388 --> 00:21:56,508 Speaker 1: in those settings, and he destroyed it. And so Anthony Richardson, 488 00:21:56,548 --> 00:21:58,148 Speaker 1: he probably is not gonna be there at nine. They're 489 00:21:58,148 --> 00:22:00,108 Speaker 1: probably gonna have to trade up and get him. But 490 00:22:00,308 --> 00:22:02,268 Speaker 1: it's an interesting element that we talked about the NFC 491 00:22:02,308 --> 00:22:04,868 Speaker 1: South when we're doing the hats things earlier. Everybody needs 492 00:22:04,908 --> 00:22:09,028 Speaker 1: a quarterback, Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, New Orleans. Everybody needs 493 00:22:09,068 --> 00:22:10,548 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and so there could be a little bit 494 00:22:10,548 --> 00:22:12,668 Speaker 1: of a race to see who can get up there. 495 00:22:12,868 --> 00:22:14,748 Speaker 1: Maybe you go up to number one. Ryan Poles has 496 00:22:14,748 --> 00:22:16,668 Speaker 1: it up for auction. We ownership do it. You know, 497 00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:18,668 Speaker 1: you look at Temper and like he wants to sing 498 00:22:18,788 --> 00:22:20,188 Speaker 1: so badly, and he came in with all these hopes 499 00:22:20,228 --> 00:22:22,908 Speaker 1: and expectations, and we're doing Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald, 500 00:22:22,988 --> 00:22:24,628 Speaker 1: this guy and that guy. This would be like the 501 00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:27,868 Speaker 1: ultimate billionaire all in all, in no team. I heard 502 00:22:27,948 --> 00:22:30,988 Speaker 1: more in the combine about being aggressive to go get 503 00:22:31,028 --> 00:22:33,388 Speaker 1: Carolina than Carolina number one. And it may not be 504 00:22:33,428 --> 00:22:35,748 Speaker 1: Anthony Richards, maybe a C. J. Stroud or Bryce Young, 505 00:22:35,988 --> 00:22:38,508 Speaker 1: but they are ready. They're ready to go get their guy, 506 00:22:38,668 --> 00:22:40,468 Speaker 1: and they're ready to put their chips in no matter what. 507 00:22:40,468 --> 00:22:42,308 Speaker 1: Why are y'all trying to put this quarterback at a 508 00:22:42,308 --> 00:22:44,628 Speaker 1: place he's got to play right away? He is This 509 00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:46,988 Speaker 1: is not a thing. Don't make this guy do this. 510 00:22:46,988 --> 00:22:48,708 Speaker 1: This is how many games this young man has played 511 00:22:48,748 --> 00:22:50,228 Speaker 1: in college. We had this at the start of the show, 512 00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:52,388 Speaker 1: and I cannot stress this enough that when we are 513 00:22:52,428 --> 00:22:54,588 Speaker 1: at the Combine, the scouts that I've talked to were like, 514 00:22:54,908 --> 00:22:57,028 Speaker 1: we all we want to know is what's between the helmet? 515 00:22:57,068 --> 00:23:01,188 Speaker 1: Because he started thirteen games in college. I know he's 516 00:23:00,988 --> 00:23:04,468 Speaker 1: the forty is sexy, the jumping is great, it's a 517 00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:07,308 Speaker 1: beautiful thing to be a great athlete, But what are 518 00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:09,348 Speaker 1: you doing at the line of scrimmage? What are you 519 00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:11,588 Speaker 1: doing a week in and week out against these very 520 00:23:11,628 --> 00:23:15,948 Speaker 1: complicated defenses. Thirteen starts at the college level, and you're 521 00:23:15,948 --> 00:23:17,988 Speaker 1: going to ask this guy to get drafted and go 522 00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:19,708 Speaker 1: start for your team right away. I think it's a 523 00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:21,948 Speaker 1: recipe for disaster. I don't think that's where he needs 524 00:23:21,988 --> 00:23:23,868 Speaker 1: to go. Where he does need to go is to 525 00:23:23,908 --> 00:23:26,468 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions because you still have Jared Goff for 526 00:23:26,508 --> 00:23:29,628 Speaker 1: the next year or two. You have the sixth overall pick, 527 00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:33,108 Speaker 1: which is a very easy spot to stay and cold. 528 00:23:33,548 --> 00:23:36,948 Speaker 1: Let him come in have a year learning under Jared Goff. 529 00:23:37,028 --> 00:23:39,548 Speaker 1: We saw how this went with Alex Smith and Patrick 530 00:23:39,628 --> 00:23:42,108 Speaker 1: Mahomes a couple of years ago. The Lions you're building, 531 00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:45,028 Speaker 1: you're great. You will retain Ben Johnson. There's no better 532 00:23:45,068 --> 00:23:47,028 Speaker 1: way how to keep your offensive coordinator. If you get 533 00:23:47,028 --> 00:23:49,228 Speaker 1: a great quarterback coming back and you're not worried about 534 00:23:49,268 --> 00:23:51,108 Speaker 1: do we resign golf? What are we doing here? You 535 00:23:51,148 --> 00:23:53,148 Speaker 1: have the guy in house. I think he has to 536 00:23:53,188 --> 00:23:54,988 Speaker 1: go to Detroit. Wouldn't it be buying we got on 537 00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:57,068 Speaker 1: Goff though, I mean, like Goff was great, Like why 538 00:23:57,108 --> 00:24:01,228 Speaker 1: not you stay with golf long term? I just don't think. Yeah, 539 00:24:01,268 --> 00:24:02,988 Speaker 1: I just he is great, and it's kind of like 540 00:24:03,028 --> 00:24:05,468 Speaker 1: the Geno Smith and Goff's had our success in Gino Smith, 541 00:24:05,508 --> 00:24:07,028 Speaker 1: But like, is that the guy you want to hang 542 00:24:07,068 --> 00:24:08,748 Speaker 1: your hat on? Like if you have those two in 543 00:24:08,748 --> 00:24:10,588 Speaker 1: a room if you just need to buy him a 544 00:24:10,628 --> 00:24:12,108 Speaker 1: little bit of time. It's a tough world out there. 545 00:24:12,108 --> 00:24:14,308 Speaker 1: It's thirty two jobs. But I just don't think golf 546 00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:16,228 Speaker 1: is great. He did great this year, but I don't 547 00:24:16,228 --> 00:24:17,828 Speaker 1: think that's where the lions. If you really wanted to 548 00:24:17,868 --> 00:24:19,748 Speaker 1: hang her out on somebody, I think you Anthony Richardson, 549 00:24:19,828 --> 00:24:21,548 Speaker 1: But Jamie one thing that's all. Had a conversation with 550 00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:23,508 Speaker 1: a coach at the Combine and they said that you're 551 00:24:23,548 --> 00:24:26,068 Speaker 1: looking at a new era of quarterbacks. There's no the 552 00:24:26,108 --> 00:24:28,708 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels rule used to be three year starter four 553 00:24:28,788 --> 00:24:30,948 Speaker 1: years in college. New era of quarterbacks where you're going 554 00:24:31,028 --> 00:24:33,148 Speaker 1: to get one year. You have to trust your coaches 555 00:24:33,308 --> 00:24:35,428 Speaker 1: that you can develop on the fly. I know it's 556 00:24:35,468 --> 00:24:37,668 Speaker 1: not ideal. I know you love to sit a guy 557 00:24:37,788 --> 00:24:40,508 Speaker 1: from a two or two, but the reality guys pan 558 00:24:40,588 --> 00:24:43,388 Speaker 1: out actually right, But the reality is we don't sit 559 00:24:43,468 --> 00:24:45,508 Speaker 1: guys like Patrick Mahomes is lucky, right, But there's not 560 00:24:45,548 --> 00:24:47,828 Speaker 1: a lot of ideal situations where you sit a guy. 561 00:24:47,868 --> 00:24:50,428 Speaker 1: You trust your guys develop a guy like Anthony Richardson 562 00:24:50,468 --> 00:24:52,348 Speaker 1: in his skill set, you could have him be a 563 00:24:52,428 --> 00:24:55,548 Speaker 1: dual threat runner first, as you continue to develop that 564 00:24:55,588 --> 00:24:57,308 Speaker 1: passing ability. I know a lot of people like to 565 00:24:57,348 --> 00:24:59,468 Speaker 1: throw that Josh Allen comparison around, but what they did 566 00:24:59,508 --> 00:25:02,908 Speaker 1: in Buffalo was they let him develop. Why he still 567 00:25:02,948 --> 00:25:05,268 Speaker 1: was that player. Jalen Hurts to same way. They were 568 00:25:05,308 --> 00:25:07,988 Speaker 1: not that polished player when they got there. I heard 569 00:25:07,988 --> 00:25:10,868 Speaker 1: a Dante Colepepper comparison on the combine. A lot of 570 00:25:10,868 --> 00:25:13,628 Speaker 1: people like to make Cam Newton Colepepper wasn't a polished 571 00:25:13,628 --> 00:25:16,748 Speaker 1: prospect as a college player, became that an NFL three 572 00:25:16,748 --> 00:25:18,708 Speaker 1: time pro bowler, and so I think a team has 573 00:25:18,748 --> 00:25:21,268 Speaker 1: to put their chips in. But scare money doesn't make money, 574 00:25:21,268 --> 00:25:24,228 Speaker 1: So maybe we don't have to call it lucky anymore. 575 00:25:24,268 --> 00:25:27,028 Speaker 1: With Mahomes and Kissie, it's just brilliant drafting and knowing 576 00:25:27,028 --> 00:25:28,668 Speaker 1: that you had Alex Smith or another here, you could 577 00:25:28,668 --> 00:25:30,228 Speaker 1: allow them to develop. It doesn't have to be luck 578 00:25:30,268 --> 00:25:31,788 Speaker 1: anymore than me. That's just how you have to play 579 00:25:31,828 --> 00:25:33,908 Speaker 1: the game when it comes to picking some of these quarterbacks. 580 00:25:34,388 --> 00:25:50,028 Speaker 1: That was awesome. Dolphins quarterback to A Tunga Vloa is 581 00:25:50,148 --> 00:25:52,948 Speaker 1: entering the final guaranteed season of his rookie deal. The 582 00:25:53,028 --> 00:25:55,868 Speaker 1: team has until May second to pick up his fifth 583 00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:58,148 Speaker 1: year option. Again, this is the same scenario the Giants 584 00:25:58,188 --> 00:26:00,908 Speaker 1: were in last season with Daniel Jones to the Dolphins, 585 00:26:00,908 --> 00:26:03,348 Speaker 1: though head coach Mike McDaniel was asked about what role 586 00:26:03,428 --> 00:26:07,268 Speaker 1: he thinks it was injuries specifically, you think his concussion 587 00:26:07,348 --> 00:26:12,188 Speaker 1: history and durability should play into that discussion. I think 588 00:26:12,228 --> 00:26:16,588 Speaker 1: it's important to recognize that we have a congruence of 589 00:26:16,988 --> 00:26:20,188 Speaker 1: interest by the Dolphins and the player ta that we 590 00:26:20,388 --> 00:26:23,668 Speaker 1: both parties really want him to play at a very 591 00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:26,108 Speaker 1: high level for a long time for the Miami Dolphins. 592 00:26:26,108 --> 00:26:29,988 Speaker 1: So what's the best way to really engineer that or 593 00:26:30,068 --> 00:26:34,068 Speaker 1: to help manifest that. Well, those are the things that 594 00:26:34,108 --> 00:26:38,388 Speaker 1: we're kind of weighing in terms of the various options 595 00:26:38,428 --> 00:26:43,708 Speaker 1: with the same desired end as two would like. So 596 00:26:44,428 --> 00:26:48,308 Speaker 1: you factor in everything as best you can. But that's 597 00:26:48,388 --> 00:26:51,028 Speaker 1: part of this game that we're all involved in, is 598 00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:54,148 Speaker 1: there are some unknowns, So you weigh those and you 599 00:26:54,548 --> 00:26:58,028 Speaker 1: press forward and make the best decision possible for the organization. 600 00:26:58,868 --> 00:27:01,548 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take that and dive deeper into 601 00:27:01,588 --> 00:27:03,788 Speaker 1: the state of Michael Daniel's fashion sense, but also the 602 00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,948 Speaker 1: Dolphins with our own cam wolf. He's here. We're not 603 00:27:05,988 --> 00:27:08,388 Speaker 1: gonna talk about the funny with the blazer on the print. Awesome. 604 00:27:08,628 --> 00:27:10,708 Speaker 1: While it may be a thousand dollars italian fit right 605 00:27:10,708 --> 00:27:12,868 Speaker 1: there from Mike McDaniel, and he pulls it off with 606 00:27:12,908 --> 00:27:15,948 Speaker 1: such casual class. Yeah, can't hide money. You cannot hide 607 00:27:15,988 --> 00:27:18,348 Speaker 1: money and not in Miami. Cam. How did the Dolphins 608 00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:20,668 Speaker 1: feel about to his future with the team knowing all 609 00:27:20,668 --> 00:27:22,468 Speaker 1: that we know? Yeah, the Dolphins have been very clear 610 00:27:22,468 --> 00:27:25,108 Speaker 1: that two was their quarterback in twenty twenty three when 611 00:27:25,108 --> 00:27:27,108 Speaker 1: he was on the field, let the league in passer raid, 612 00:27:27,308 --> 00:27:28,828 Speaker 1: really good out there on the field. But we know 613 00:27:28,908 --> 00:27:31,548 Speaker 1: the big question can he stay on the field the 614 00:27:31,628 --> 00:27:34,308 Speaker 1: lasting memory we have two of those two concussions that 615 00:27:34,388 --> 00:27:37,028 Speaker 1: he had missed five games, and how can you trust 616 00:27:37,068 --> 00:27:39,308 Speaker 1: your quarterback to stay on the field and bet on 617 00:27:39,388 --> 00:27:41,948 Speaker 1: them going forward? That's the big question. With his fifth 618 00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:44,508 Speaker 1: year option that would guarantee is twenty twenty four year 619 00:27:44,708 --> 00:27:46,828 Speaker 1: and so that's why they haven't made a decision there. 620 00:27:47,108 --> 00:27:49,628 Speaker 1: This is very much similar to the Daniel Jones situation 621 00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:51,588 Speaker 1: where you like the guy, we're trying to figure out 622 00:27:51,588 --> 00:27:53,988 Speaker 1: if you love him long term, and so that's the 623 00:27:53,988 --> 00:27:56,468 Speaker 1: element they're deciding right now. They're gonna take their time, 624 00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:58,828 Speaker 1: maybe not fully to that May second deadline, but they 625 00:27:58,828 --> 00:28:01,028 Speaker 1: haven't made a final decision. I thought it was interesting 626 00:28:01,308 --> 00:28:04,028 Speaker 1: listening in the combine of Dolphins GM Chris Greer, who said, 627 00:28:04,028 --> 00:28:06,868 Speaker 1: I can't say no that the durability is a factor. 628 00:28:07,068 --> 00:28:09,628 Speaker 1: We talk about these things. So Tua has to prove 629 00:28:09,948 --> 00:28:12,668 Speaker 1: that he can stay healthy. He's doing jiu jitsu this 630 00:28:12,708 --> 00:28:15,028 Speaker 1: offseason to learn how to fall. A lot of his 631 00:28:15,108 --> 00:28:18,068 Speaker 1: injuries they believe happened because he has some issues falling, 632 00:28:18,108 --> 00:28:19,948 Speaker 1: and so they're hoping he learns how to fall, he 633 00:28:19,948 --> 00:28:21,868 Speaker 1: stays on the field and can prove he can be 634 00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:24,548 Speaker 1: the long term Dolphins quarterback for this team. But right now, 635 00:28:24,548 --> 00:28:29,348 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three two A yes, still a question beyond that? Wow, yeah, yeah, 636 00:28:29,468 --> 00:28:32,748 Speaker 1: can so. Obviously we're talking a lot about Tua in Miami, 637 00:28:32,868 --> 00:28:34,828 Speaker 1: right but what do you think in the defense coordinat position? 638 00:28:34,908 --> 00:28:37,308 Speaker 1: Vic Vangio was just after kind of a down year 639 00:28:37,388 --> 00:28:39,948 Speaker 1: after his time with the Broncos. What do you think 640 00:28:39,988 --> 00:28:41,988 Speaker 1: he brings to the table as a defense coordinator. Yeah, 641 00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:44,108 Speaker 1: the Dolphins badly want it, Vic Vanja. They made him 642 00:28:44,148 --> 00:28:46,668 Speaker 1: the highest paid defensive coordinator in the league. And this 643 00:28:46,708 --> 00:28:48,668 Speaker 1: was a guy he had a lot of competition. In fact, 644 00:28:48,788 --> 00:28:51,628 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel wont it Vic Vangio when he got hired 645 00:28:51,668 --> 00:28:54,988 Speaker 1: initially a year ago, but they kept their previous defensive coordinator. 646 00:28:55,148 --> 00:28:57,228 Speaker 1: Vic Vangio brings a scheme where they're gonna run a 647 00:28:57,268 --> 00:28:59,868 Speaker 1: lot of two high safeties, not blitz as much, and 648 00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:02,348 Speaker 1: he's essentially going to be the head coach of their defense, 649 00:29:02,348 --> 00:29:04,788 Speaker 1: which frees up Mike McDaniel to focus on the offensive 650 00:29:04,948 --> 00:29:06,588 Speaker 1: side of the ball. And I'll tell you what. I 651 00:29:06,628 --> 00:29:09,148 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with the Dolphins this past year, 652 00:29:09,388 --> 00:29:11,668 Speaker 1: and at times they had that scheme where they did 653 00:29:11,748 --> 00:29:14,548 Speaker 1: all those cover zero blitzes we've seen for years, which 654 00:29:14,548 --> 00:29:17,348 Speaker 1: if it works, great, If it doesn't, it's a disaster. 655 00:29:17,548 --> 00:29:19,628 Speaker 1: And there was a game they played against the Bills 656 00:29:19,628 --> 00:29:22,988 Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year, third and fifteen, Stefan Diggs 657 00:29:23,028 --> 00:29:25,428 Speaker 1: beats them deep, they ran that cover zero blitz. It 658 00:29:25,508 --> 00:29:27,788 Speaker 1: was an example of what I was talking with players 659 00:29:28,028 --> 00:29:31,468 Speaker 1: late last season on frustrations about how frequently they ran 660 00:29:31,588 --> 00:29:34,988 Speaker 1: that cover zero blitz, particularly in situations where the personnel 661 00:29:34,988 --> 00:29:37,988 Speaker 1: didn't allow it. Big Fangio said a few weeks ago, 662 00:29:38,028 --> 00:29:40,548 Speaker 1: I want a blitz because I want to not because 663 00:29:40,548 --> 00:29:42,708 Speaker 1: I have to, and so they believe that Vic Fangio 664 00:29:42,788 --> 00:29:45,268 Speaker 1: is gonna turn this unit into a top ten I 665 00:29:45,268 --> 00:29:47,468 Speaker 1: actually talked to Howard at the Pro Bowl and he said, 666 00:29:47,508 --> 00:29:50,828 Speaker 1: I've seen Vangio have top ten defenses everywhere he goes. 667 00:29:50,948 --> 00:29:53,708 Speaker 1: So that's my expectation for us. That offense was a 668 00:29:53,748 --> 00:29:55,788 Speaker 1: top five group this year. You just need the defense 669 00:29:55,828 --> 00:29:57,628 Speaker 1: to come back, and they think Vangil is gonna be 670 00:29:57,628 --> 00:30:00,828 Speaker 1: able to do that. I'm still I mean, that's a 671 00:30:00,828 --> 00:30:03,508 Speaker 1: really good nugget to learn how to fold that. Yeah, 672 00:30:03,228 --> 00:30:05,948 Speaker 1: I think it's a scale. It's interesting because the Dolphins 673 00:30:05,948 --> 00:30:07,428 Speaker 1: don't have a first round pick. If I don't think 674 00:30:07,428 --> 00:30:09,508 Speaker 1: they draft till fifty one. Yep, we I'm not gonna 675 00:30:09,508 --> 00:30:12,188 Speaker 1: play hypotheticals if they did. But the ta thing, they 676 00:30:12,228 --> 00:30:14,228 Speaker 1: love him as a person, they like him as a player. 677 00:30:14,708 --> 00:30:17,188 Speaker 1: Do you think there is very little or zero chance 678 00:30:17,268 --> 00:30:18,988 Speaker 1: they shock us on draft Day and say we just 679 00:30:19,028 --> 00:30:20,428 Speaker 1: can't trust them to stay in the field and we 680 00:30:20,428 --> 00:30:22,428 Speaker 1: got to spend a high draft back on a quarterback. No. 681 00:30:22,548 --> 00:30:25,508 Speaker 1: The element there is they have to value that backup 682 00:30:25,548 --> 00:30:28,868 Speaker 1: quarterback position because the reality is that they can't hope. 683 00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:31,228 Speaker 1: It's not a strategy and so as much as they say, hey, 684 00:30:31,388 --> 00:30:34,188 Speaker 1: Ta's progressing, we think he's going to be healthy, think 685 00:30:34,348 --> 00:30:36,868 Speaker 1: is not. No. And so they spent six seven million 686 00:30:36,908 --> 00:30:39,188 Speaker 1: dollars on Teddy Bridgewater to be his backup quarterback this 687 00:30:39,268 --> 00:30:41,908 Speaker 1: past year, and Teddy wasn't available at times, and so 688 00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:45,508 Speaker 1: because of to us and unavailability at sometimes you have 689 00:30:45,628 --> 00:30:48,188 Speaker 1: to value that position. So whether a veteran maybe they 690 00:30:48,228 --> 00:30:50,748 Speaker 1: go Philadelphia's route, I wouldn't be shocked if they found 691 00:30:50,788 --> 00:30:53,348 Speaker 1: them a hand in hooker or someone and said, hey, 692 00:30:53,588 --> 00:30:55,828 Speaker 1: you don't need to play now, but we need somebody 693 00:30:55,828 --> 00:30:57,748 Speaker 1: that we can trust in a situation like that. So no, 694 00:30:57,828 --> 00:31:00,348 Speaker 1: I don't think that's out of the realm of possibilities 695 00:31:00,668 --> 00:31:03,348 Speaker 1: this team has to prep for if Twa gets hurt. 696 00:31:03,588 --> 00:31:05,428 Speaker 1: They love him on the field. I just got to 697 00:31:05,428 --> 00:31:07,588 Speaker 1: figure out how to keep him field. The cool thing 698 00:31:07,628 --> 00:31:09,948 Speaker 1: that you don't get tripped into if the Dolphins a 699 00:31:09,988 --> 00:31:12,988 Speaker 1: team it takes a quarterback in the later rounds is 700 00:31:13,028 --> 00:31:14,428 Speaker 1: that a lot of these quarterbacks are like twenty five 701 00:31:14,508 --> 00:31:16,348 Speaker 1: years old because they've done the transfer things. So there's 702 00:31:16,348 --> 00:31:18,908 Speaker 1: like a sneaky big population of quarterbacks that have the 703 00:31:19,028 --> 00:31:21,348 Speaker 1: veteran status, if you will, because they've amassed like forty 704 00:31:21,348 --> 00:31:24,428 Speaker 1: five starts in college cam how close to the Dolphins 705 00:31:24,468 --> 00:31:26,628 Speaker 1: believe they are to catching the Bills in the AFC 706 00:31:26,708 --> 00:31:28,908 Speaker 1: East somehow? That are the two Those are the two 707 00:31:28,908 --> 00:31:30,508 Speaker 1: teams we were talking about in the AFC East. It's 708 00:31:30,548 --> 00:31:32,588 Speaker 1: kind of a strange dynamic, but we're gonna roll with it. Yes, 709 00:31:32,628 --> 00:31:35,148 Speaker 1: flip right, it's not the Patriots division or Bills are 710 00:31:35,308 --> 00:31:37,988 Speaker 1: king to that division. And the reality is the Dolphins 711 00:31:37,988 --> 00:31:39,748 Speaker 1: thought they were closer than they were if you look 712 00:31:39,748 --> 00:31:42,148 Speaker 1: at the standings four and a half games gap, but 713 00:31:42,228 --> 00:31:44,548 Speaker 1: that playoff game made them feel like, hey, if we 714 00:31:44,588 --> 00:31:46,428 Speaker 1: just do this, if we do that and theyde him 715 00:31:46,428 --> 00:31:47,668 Speaker 1: in the regular get there. They beat him in a 716 00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:50,108 Speaker 1: regular season early they played with Skylar Thompson. Then they 717 00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:53,108 Speaker 1: were literally a touchdown away. And so the element they 718 00:31:53,148 --> 00:31:54,868 Speaker 1: have to do is what we just talked about. They 719 00:31:54,868 --> 00:31:57,148 Speaker 1: were one and four in games that TWOA did not 720 00:31:57,228 --> 00:31:59,988 Speaker 1: start and finish. That's a huge gap. That's the reason 721 00:32:00,068 --> 00:32:02,788 Speaker 1: why the Bills are so far ahead of them in 722 00:32:02,788 --> 00:32:05,148 Speaker 1: that division. But they have to They have an offseason 723 00:32:05,148 --> 00:32:07,148 Speaker 1: opportunity here. The Bills are in a lot of cap 724 00:32:07,668 --> 00:32:09,428 Speaker 1: have a lot of cap decisions to make, they're gonna 725 00:32:09,428 --> 00:32:11,028 Speaker 1: get rid of some players and have some decisions on 726 00:32:11,108 --> 00:32:13,828 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer and Traymont Edmonds. And you know, that's the 727 00:32:13,868 --> 00:32:15,988 Speaker 1: reality of having a quarterback on a long term deal. 728 00:32:16,108 --> 00:32:18,268 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to keep people. Whereas the Dolphins, 729 00:32:18,268 --> 00:32:20,748 Speaker 1: you fix a few holes, particularly on that defense, get 730 00:32:20,788 --> 00:32:23,028 Speaker 1: a little bit more speed, get a little bit more range, 731 00:32:23,268 --> 00:32:26,268 Speaker 1: then you can potentially catch a Josh Allen and Bills 732 00:32:26,388 --> 00:32:28,668 Speaker 1: And I'll give you one. Jordan Poyer, who we just 733 00:32:28,708 --> 00:32:32,388 Speaker 1: talked about before. He has been very move about the 734 00:32:32,388 --> 00:32:34,068 Speaker 1: fact that he would love to play in the state 735 00:32:34,068 --> 00:32:37,388 Speaker 1: with no taxes. He's interested in Miami and his agents 736 00:32:37,428 --> 00:32:40,108 Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhouse, who gets a lot of guys to the Dolphins. 737 00:32:40,108 --> 00:32:43,108 Speaker 1: And so imagine a team with Javon holland a rising 738 00:32:43,148 --> 00:32:45,988 Speaker 1: safety there in Miami and Jordan Poyer there and a 739 00:32:46,108 --> 00:32:48,788 Speaker 1: Vic Fangil defense that loves those two high safeties you 740 00:32:48,868 --> 00:32:51,388 Speaker 1: take away from your rival, and then you also get 741 00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:53,548 Speaker 1: better on your defense. And maybe that's a little bit 742 00:32:53,588 --> 00:32:58,348 Speaker 1: on how you get and close that gap between there, 743 00:32:58,388 --> 00:33:00,308 Speaker 1: but it many time to go. Let's close with some 744 00:33:00,388 --> 00:33:02,468 Speaker 1: McDaniel talk or a doll You were there, you were 745 00:33:02,508 --> 00:33:04,828 Speaker 1: with him, Yeah, what's the McDaniel vibe. I'll want to know, 746 00:33:04,868 --> 00:33:06,508 Speaker 1: I've never met the man a person. Neither had I 747 00:33:06,588 --> 00:33:08,948 Speaker 1: up until this weekend of the combine, my conversation with 748 00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:12,868 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel went and socially exactly how I wanted it to. 749 00:33:13,228 --> 00:33:15,428 Speaker 1: It's like the man you see at the podium is 750 00:33:15,428 --> 00:33:18,348 Speaker 1: like the exact man you have that's nice to meet. 751 00:33:18,428 --> 00:33:21,628 Speaker 1: You shake your hand and he listens so incredibly well 752 00:33:21,668 --> 00:33:23,508 Speaker 1: to Like, you know what, you're a head coach in 753 00:33:23,508 --> 00:33:25,228 Speaker 1: the NFL, you're a one of thirty two. You are 754 00:33:25,268 --> 00:33:27,668 Speaker 1: allowed to kind of write anybody off in my opinion, Like, 755 00:33:27,668 --> 00:33:29,548 Speaker 1: I know it's probably not socially acceptable, but you could 756 00:33:29,588 --> 00:33:31,028 Speaker 1: do that if you wanted to. He did not. He 757 00:33:31,148 --> 00:33:33,748 Speaker 1: voiced his frustration with Good Morning Football in particular about 758 00:33:33,748 --> 00:33:38,548 Speaker 1: how we poached Jason mccorty in the McDaniel wild while 759 00:33:38,748 --> 00:33:41,388 Speaker 1: mccordy was rehabbing his achilles was like, you know what, 760 00:33:41,388 --> 00:33:42,908 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to New Jersey. I'm gonna go 761 00:33:42,948 --> 00:33:45,468 Speaker 1: home and get my achilles right. McDaniel goes, I'd love 762 00:33:45,508 --> 00:33:47,428 Speaker 1: to have you work for the Dolphins, Like, come be 763 00:33:47,468 --> 00:33:49,388 Speaker 1: a part of our team. Play whatever you want to do. 764 00:33:49,428 --> 00:33:52,148 Speaker 1: Like he understood the value of one Jason mccorty, and 765 00:33:52,188 --> 00:33:54,908 Speaker 1: the next thing Mike McDaniel knew. Jason mccordy was smacked 766 00:33:54,948 --> 00:33:56,908 Speaker 1: up right here in Good Morning Football. So sorry, coach, 767 00:33:56,948 --> 00:34:01,228 Speaker 1: you can't have him back. It was awesome. I profess 768 00:34:01,388 --> 00:34:03,988 Speaker 1: my adoration for Jalen Waddle just right to his face. 769 00:34:04,028 --> 00:34:05,588 Speaker 1: I was like, you gotta keep using that guy. I 770 00:34:05,588 --> 00:34:07,468 Speaker 1: love him. He's great. It was a great conversation. It 771 00:34:07,548 --> 00:34:09,468 Speaker 1: was a picture of the combine being big for people 772 00:34:09,508 --> 00:34:11,508 Speaker 1: talking to you, but kind of scanning the room while 773 00:34:11,548 --> 00:34:14,348 Speaker 1: they're talking to I would think it's like Lallapaluz, but 774 00:34:14,348 --> 00:34:16,908 Speaker 1: not McDaniel.
