1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And what a

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: crazy training camp August we have had. You've seen teams trade,

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: players were getting to the cut deadline. You know, players

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: that you thought were gonna be bawling out. Didn't have

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: a great preseason, doesn't mean they won't have a great career.

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: And there are players that you have high expectations for

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: that are exceeding those expectations. Jackson Dart, We're looking at you.

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: There are guys that may be looking for a new

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: team soon or sometime in the future, like Micah Parsons.

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: And that's where we got to get into because, as

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: I have said before, Jerry Jones cannot get out of

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: his own way, and now he's telling Steven A. Smith,

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: no matter what we got him for three years. If

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: the relationship between Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones was as

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: as healthy as incredible as Jerry and Micah over the

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: past few years have made it seem, I don't think

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: we would be here. But Jerry is a guy who

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: wants things his way, and now he's saying David Mullagetta,

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: there's no place for the agent in these negotiations, which

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: is actually illegal. In the NFL and the way they

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: do business, unless the player is representing himself like I

22
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: have before, the agent has to be involved. That's the

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: way it works. Micah doesn't necessarily have to be involved.

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't necessarily have to talk to front office or

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: management or anything because there's conflict of interest. If he's

26
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: not representing himself, he's not going to know, Hey, they're

27
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: trying to get you for ten years. They got Tyron

28
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Smith for a ten year deal at a very reasonable rate.

29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: You looked into that deal at year five years. You

30
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: had a really good, good tackle for a very affordable

31
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: number over the time. And so this is a situation

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: where I don't think Jerry Jones should have done this,

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: and I don't think he should keep doing what he's doing,

34
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: which is digging himself in a further hole and creating

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: a bigger divide between he and one of his star players.

36
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: And now they've done the X rays, the MRIs on

37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: his back, they had him laying down on the training table. Look,

38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: none of that matters. And Shottenneimer's like, oh man, I'm

39
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna go talk to him. I'm gonna go. You know,

40
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: we may find him. It's screaming disaster. It's screaming disaster,

41
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: and it's getting worse and worse and worse. This is

42
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: not how you treat arguably your best player. This is

43
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: a guy who's had no off the field problems, no issues,

44
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: played hard, done everything. He's got a little banged up,

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: but three all pros, productive, dominant. What are we doing?

46
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Jerry Jones? You have him for

47
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: three more years if he doesn't play in the first

48
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: four games, five games. There are statistics out there that

49
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: say your defense is the worst defense in the league.

50
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: Are dang near when he's not on the field? I

51
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: think it's twenty ninth and they're among the best when

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: he's on the field. Why wouldn't it make sense to

53
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: just make sure he's on the field. And you say, oh,

54
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: he's under contract, Well, the same way guys are under

55
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: contract and get cut and people are like, well, you

56
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: know they didn't need to honor the contract because they

57
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: could cut him in there, Well, he could exercise this.

58
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: He understands the consequences of his actions, and a player

59
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: can be banged up. Who's to say, is not MRI's

60
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: in next race? They don't know everything. I mean, you

61
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: could have injuries that they're not picking up. It's happened before,

62
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: it'll happen again. So what happens now if Michael Parsons

63
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: continue to be hurt, gets rehab, continues to make sure

64
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: he's taking care of his body, and he's gonna get

65
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: out there when he's healthy. You're you're you could have

66
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: cost your team real life games and you could lose

67
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: games because you refuse to honor and respect the guy

68
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: who you're saying you want to make the highest paid

69
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: non defensive I mean non quarterback, then do it. Called

70
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: David Malagatta, he's done unreasonable. There's a reason he's done

71
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: all these deals. He's done a billion dollars worth of

72
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: deals in one season because he's the best. So give

73
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: him a phone call. When I think Jerry's going out

74
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: of his way to make this situation more volatile than

75
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: it needs to be, more combative than it needs to be.

76
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be this combative. You telling you,

77
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: telling this guy, there's no room for your agent to negotiate.

78
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: But what what what is this? What? What what you

79
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: want to pay me as the highest paid non defensive player.

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: There's a number on that. There's a number on that.

81
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: It's a high number. I think it's forty two million

82
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: right now, maybe more so, forty two million dollars a

83
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: year over high for many years. You want him? If

84
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: you want a five year deal, cool, you could those

85
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: are semantics, Like you may want a seven year deal, Jerry,

86
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: they may want a three year deal. Like you meet

87
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle and you get a deal done.

88
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: But it seems like something else is in play here

89
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: for Jerry Jones, Like there's a different kind of pride,

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: a different kind of mentality where he's like, Hey, I'm

91
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: not giving here. I own the boy. And I'm like, oh, Jerry,

92
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: it's getting kind of crazy when you start talking like that,

93
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: because you're talking about human beings with real emotions, feelings

94
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: and all that, and that he knows how to play

95
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: the game just like you're playing the game. And sure

96
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: fans can get mad, they can get irritated or whatever,

97
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: but just as the team can has the right to

98
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: maneuver how they want to within the confines of these contracts.

99
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Players are getting smart and they're gonna maneuver within the

100
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: confines of these contracts. And we'll see who wins. We'll

101
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: see who wins, he gets paid. Either way. He gets

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: paid either way. Hey, if he doesn't play week one,

103
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: he gets paid. If his back is tight week one,

104
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: he gets paid. What you're gonna do? So you're gonna

105
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: pay him to play? Are you gonna pay him to

106
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: force back to be tight? You gonna have to figure

107
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: it out, Jerry, because it ain't changed it anytime soon.

108
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: And Schefter's reporting that he don't think Mike's gonna finish

109
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: his career in Dallas, I would agree. I would agree.

110
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: It seems like Dallas is gonna have a lot of

111
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: issues going forward. If this is the way Jerry Jones

112
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: is gonna approach every negotiation, every conversation with players that

113
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: have had multiple All pros on a rookie contract, You're

114
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a very difficult time. You guys have done

115
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job drafting in the first round, drafting all

116
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: Pro after all Pro after all Pro after great player,

117
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: But now you don't want to pay the guy would

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: arguably the best resume among those guys. Doesn't sound like

119
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: a recipe for success for the Dallas Cowboys to me,

120
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: But who am I does? A humble servant now? Or

121
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: to Shador Sanders, the topic of conversation everybody one of

122
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the worst games he's played. Obviously, has had a ton

123
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: of games as a pro, but had a rough game,

124
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: took some bad sacks, and it's created an incredible discourse

125
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: on nine. You're either on one side of the fence

126
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: or the other. You're saying he didn't get a fair

127
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: shake of it, or you're saying he played behind the

128
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: same offensive line that that Huntley played behind who led

129
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: a two minute drive for the game winning touchdown, et cetera,

130
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: et cetera. I think it's somewhere in the middle. As always,

131
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: I think he can be a good quarterback. He's a rookie.

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna learn now you can't make those plays that

133
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: you did in college. You can't take those sacks as

134
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: as fits and Wit always inform me and educate me

135
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: because I'm a defensive player, so I'm not thinking about

136
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: the way a quarterback is maneuvering to to to make

137
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: sure he's not throwing in completions, or how the sacks

138
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: that they're taking is affecting the offensive line but not

139
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: affecting his QBR and and completion percentage, et cetera, et cetera.

140
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to get over that. And I think

141
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: he's trying to make sure the numbers look like they're

142
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: supposed to look like. But this is the National Football League.

143
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Let the ball go, live, to fight another down, save

144
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: the yards. And I think that's gonna be the learning

145
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: curve for him going forward, is that, Hey, you can't

146
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: protect your completion percentage and all that that way, you're

147
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do it. If if they

148
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: get to you quick, you're gonna have to let it go.

149
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to dirk the ball and you're gonna

150
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: have to get us to the next play. It can't

151
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: be second in twenty five and think, oh man, we're

152
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna keep taking second, second and twenty fives and try

153
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: to dig ourselves out of the hole. But you've gone

154
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: eight for ten for one hundred and forty yards in

155
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns at that times is gonna look worse than that.

156
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: At times it's gonna look like you're I don't know,

157
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna be eight for nineteen for one hundred and

158
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: forty yards in four Five of those are gonna be

159
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: throwaways because the pressure got there, you had nowhere to

160
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: go with the ball. You got quick pressure and you

161
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: had to get the ball. Like people understand that they're

162
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: watching the games, that would come off better than taking

163
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: these sacks. But that's something a young quarterback is gonna learn.

164
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: He played really well on his first start, had a

165
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: rough outing in his second start. It's football. It's unfortunately

166
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: we won't get to see him again unless something drastic

167
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: happens until next year. That's the life of a backup

168
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League. There are only thirty

169
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: two starters at the position, and he's behind multiple guys.

170
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flaccos stays relatively healthy, easy, and he's playing really

171
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: good football. He's a good quarterback. If he was playing

172
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: behind a rookie or a guy who doesn't have a

173
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of experience, a guy who has a short least,

174
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: and there's a chance that they would rep him in practice,

175
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: he'd get to develop throughout the season, getting you know,

176
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: a few reps with the starters here and there. Obviously,

177
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: the starting quarterbacks get majority of the reps. The backups

178
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: usually do the scout team, but the Browns keeping four

179
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks will be head scratching because there's only a limited

180
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: amount of spots in the NFL and having three guys

181
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: who aren't contributing on game day on your roster, on

182
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: your active roster when you have got, you know, offensive

183
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: line issues where offensive linemen defensive linemen get banged up

184
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: and you got to have another guy in the on

185
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: the bench that can come in and play. I don't know,

186
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to do that. I

187
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be the position. I mean, this

188
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: is the point we've been waiting for to see what

189
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: they do with Shador standards, whether they trade him, whether

190
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: they cut him, because keeping forward is a head scratching decision.

191
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, even nowadays, keeping three active is a head

192
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: scratcher for a lot of teams because roster spots are

193
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: so valuable. So everybody has to be a contributor, whether

194
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: it's on special teams, whether it's an offensive defensive You

195
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: may be the sixth receiver and you're the putt returner

196
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: kick returner, like you have to have a role that

197
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: you play and an impact a fourth strings quarterback being

198
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: on the active roster. It's nothing to say about Shador.

199
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make roster sense in the NFL. It

200
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: does not make sense. That's why they don't do it.

201
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: They don't. Those are the practice squad quarterbacks who who

202
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: played the scout team. And usually still you don't keep four,

203
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: you keep three. So this is new, this is interesting.

204
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: I would say I would think they would move him,

205
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: get the draft pick, send him somewhere. Who would who

206
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: would value him and need him more than you would

207
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: need him? Obviously you feel good with Kenny Pickett, Dylan Gabriel.

208
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: That's what I've heard. That's the way the depth chart says.

209
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: I think I think they should move him somewhere. I

210
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: think the Saints would be a good landing spot. I think, uh,

211
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, obviously they're looking for a veteran

212
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: backup that that would give him a chance to develop,

213
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: uh under Pete Carroll on his staff. I think there

214
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: are a few destinations that make sense for a rookie Pittsburgh,

215
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: a guy he could go in there and learn from

216
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you know, develop behind him, learn that offense,

217
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: great coach and Tomlin. But I think you got to

218
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: move him. I think you gotta move him. I think

219
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: it's becoming too much of a distraction in Cleveland, and

220
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: that's what a big name quarterback is gonna do. When

221
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: you drafted him, you knew the name, you knew the claim,

222
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: you knew the hype that comes with him, the crowd,

223
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: the fan fare, and now there they're Kevin Stefanski's gonna

224
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: have is having to answer questions, real life questions, each

225
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: and every press conference about a fourth stream quarterback. Like

226
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: that's the kind of energy and attention and headlines that

227
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders. He's Dion Sanders' son, He's a quarterback. It's

228
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: going to be an issue, and that's what any other

229
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: team is going to have to be willing to take

230
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: on if they trade for him. But there are teams

231
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: where he would be competitive and and and I think

232
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: he could help. I think Saints are one of them.

233
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: You know, you got a young quarterback who's inexperienced. Can

234
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: you develop him? Is there a quarterback competition that could

235
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: develop there? I'm sure there is. I thought they would

236
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: draft him in the beginning, but I don't think it's

237
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: a good idea for the Browns to keep him as

238
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: a fourth string quarterback on the active roster when you

239
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: have so many other holes that you need to feel

240
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: when filling out a game day roster, especially your first

241
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: fifty three and if you cut him, I think one

242
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: of these teams just picks him up on waivers and

243
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: you don't see him again, Like there's no way he's

244
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion. But I also didn't see him going

245
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: in the fifth round of the NFL draft. But I

246
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: don't think there's a way he makes it through waivers

247
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: and he comes back to you on practice squad. That'd

248
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: be really surprising. If that happens, then they knew something

249
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: that we didn't, and good job on the Browns and

250
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: in great decisions, and it makes sense. But I don't

251
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: think he makes it through waivers. I think there are

252
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: teams that would poach him and do exactly what I said.

253
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: He'd be on their practice squad or on their active rosters.

254
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how that goes. There are

255
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: people making a lot of noise about the offensive line

256
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: he played against. This is I mean play behind this

257
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's what happens. That's what happens. You know,

258
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: these guys at the end of a preseason, the third

259
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: preseason game, these are most likely the guys that are

260
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: getting cut. Most of these guys, unless somebody does something incredible.

261
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: There are receivers you can go for two hundred yards

262
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: and you're probably still getting cut. The decisions are likely

263
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: already made. These are just guys getting a chance to

264
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: put things on tape audition for the other thirty one

265
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: teams that could potentially pick you up after you get cut.

266
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Whether it's practice squad or active roster. It's an audition.

267
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: But it's not like this is something really crazy, and

268
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I know people are like, man, he set him up

269
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: to f failure. I didn't understand not allowing him to

270
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: do the two minutes real. I think that just might

271
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: have been their rotation. They gave him, They had a

272
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: certain amount of plays that they wanted him to do.

273
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Then they wanted to give Huntley an opportunit before they

274
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: cut him the next day. Those are things that wouldn't

275
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: look as unusual in another situation, but look unusual in

276
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: this situation because of all the attention on Shador. I

277
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: think Shador is going to be successful in NFL. I

278
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: think when you put him behind an offensive line that

279
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: isn't very good and he gets early pressure in his

280
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: rookie year, is gonna be tough. He's out there with

281
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: third stringers, third string receivers, it's gonna be tough. But

282
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's an indication of, you know, where

283
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: his career is gonna trend or where he's gonna go.

284
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,479
Speaker 1: I think that's just a rookie dealing with rough circumstances.

285
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: He'll continue to develop something he'll learn from wats to

286
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: tape and improve. You got to throw the ball away,

287
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: you got to get rid of it. You can't take

288
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: those sacks. It's not hard to understand for me or

289
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: anybody else. But this preseason we could talk about the

290
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks that that I'm wearing. They had a really

291
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: great training camp and great preseason. UH had great conversations

292
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: with with Mike McDonald and and just the changes that

293
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: he made. Obviously, you guys seen the interview, but outside

294
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: of the interview, had more conversations, and it's just a

295
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: different energy with the team. It's a different energy from him,

296
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: a different understanding in year two, some tweaks and some adjustments.

297
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: Obviously on the offensive side of the ball, the running

298
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: game looks totally different. It looks like they have an identity,

299
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: a toughness. UH Gray's abel looks really good. Obviously there's

300
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna be some learning there, but there's a togetherness in

301
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: the offensive line room that that that hasn't been there

302
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: in over a decade, and not that they haven't had

303
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: good teams. It's just a different kind of continuity, a

304
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: different kind of togetherness, brotherhood, chemistry, whatever you want to

305
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: call it. Guys that that respect each other and want

306
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: to show up for each other, uh and sacrifice for

307
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: one another. You start to hear that in an offensive

308
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: line room, you start to say, Okay, all right, this

309
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: could be a special group, because that's not the case everywhere.

310
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: That's not the case in every locker room or every

311
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: offensive line where there's gonna be hey man, I'm let

312
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: me take my wrist up today because I don't want

313
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: to let my brother down. He's depending on me to

314
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: be in the spot I'm gonna be in. Like, offensive

315
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: line rooms are are the big fellas. They are together,

316
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: They protectors and all that good stuff. But sometimes there's

317
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: a selfishness to them. You know, if I'm hurt, I'm

318
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna take care of myself and get myself right before

319
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: I go out there and not put anything bad on film.

320
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: That's natural in the National Football League. But when you

321
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: start to hear guys saying they're gonna sacrifice, they're gonna

322
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: tape up, they're gonna make sure they go out there

323
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: even if they're not one hundred percent, they've banged up

324
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: because they're not letting their brother down. Then those are

325
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: guys that are playing for something else and playing with

326
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: a little more umph. And so that's the conversations that

327
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm hearing around the building when you go in there

328
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: and you talk to the offensive line and you talk

329
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: to the coaches and the staff and the other players,

330
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: and you see that on tape. You see that that

331
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: mid zone that's flit zone at outside zone working really effectively.

332
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Charbonnay and all the other backs had some real success

333
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: in this preseason. They rushed for I think two hundred

334
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: and sixty eight yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. Not

335
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: that the Kansas City Chiefs had, you know, their world

336
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: beaters out there, But that doesn't happen very often in

337
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: any preseason game. I mean, I don't know this entire

338
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: preseason in any other game if a team ran for two

339
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: sixty eight. So that's an encouraging sign, especially with the

340
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: struggles they had running the football last year, and how

341
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: that will open up the pass game with JSN and

342
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and all those guys. It's gonna be interesting.

343
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: And defensively, they just are playing with a fire and

344
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: intensity that that hasn't been there in years. They're playing

345
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: with a confidence energy. I mean, you've seen the fights

346
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: and all that in Green Bay. You don't want to

347
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: see that. But you also see guys standing up for

348
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: one another and and coming up and handling business. They're

349
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: not taking they're not taking no shit from people, and

350
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: that's what it's about. It's about imposing your will on defense.

351
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: You're running, you hit, and you're not about to bully us.

352
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: You're not about to punk us like we're here. And

353
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: they played a lot of this preseason without their starters.

354
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, you haven't played you have Jay Reid, you

355
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: haven't had Leonnard Williams out there. You're you're not playing

356
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: with all your starters, your big boys up front, DeMarcus Lawrence,

357
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: You're not You're not playing with all your your the

358
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna be there on opening day. And

359
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: so I'm really excited for them and what they're gonna

360
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: be defensively. Offensively, if they're running a ball like that,

361
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: what it's going to open up for for the past game.

362
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: It looks like they they're gonna be something special this year,

363
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: but they got to put it together and put it

364
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: on tape, so we'll see. But it's been encouraging things

365
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: going on for the for the Seattle Seahawks and and

366
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: those the fans. You guys should be really excited. Uh So,

367
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: let me switch my cap my other tha AT's that

368
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: fortific sco forty nine ers and again a very top

369
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: heavy roster full of some of the best players in

370
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League, evidenced by the top one hundred

371
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: rankings or whatever. But you still got Trent Williams healthy.

372
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey by all accounts, looks very good, looks dynamic.

373
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: They traded for Brian Robinson, which I think is an

374
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: incredible move. Isaac Garrindo if he gets healthy, you know,

375
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: be another contributor, but a veteran in Brian. I think

376
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: he's been a good back. I think he had eight

377
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: hundred yards and eight touchdowns last year. Fred Warner can

378
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: all Pro, Fred Bosa. These are premier guys that are

379
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: premier positions who are going to help this team. Ricky

380
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: Pursall looked good and in the preseason games he's played.

381
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: The connection with brock Purty looks like it's incredible. George Kittle,

382
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: of course, the all pro best tight end in football.

383
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a on. It's gonna it's

384
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna come down to how healthy they can be. But

385
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: that offensive line and the same issues that have presented

386
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: itself for the last few years, or the same issues

387
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: that are still there. Can they stand up in pass pro?

388
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: They've shown success enough success in the run game to

389
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: to to get that respect and to think, hey, it's

390
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. They're gonna be able to run the football.

391
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: Christian mccaffery's gonna find the holes. He's gonna they're gonna

392
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: be fine there. But can everybody outside of Trent Williams

393
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: hold up in pass pro and protect brock perty and

394
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: give him the time to be the efficient quarterback that

395
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: he has been When he's protected and he's got time

396
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: to deal, he's a really effective quarterback. But no quarterbacks

397
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: effective when he gets pressure or pocket collapses. And that's

398
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: been the achilles heel of this offense. And that was

399
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: the achilles heel of this offense last year. Obviously, there

400
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: was some separation issues at the receiver spot that Juwan

401
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: Jennings Uh solved a lot of times, especially on third down.

402
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: That situation is starting to get to be what I

403
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: what I kind of hinted at earlier in training camp,

404
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: like this calf we're we're we're at the end of

405
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: August now, so it's starting to seem more like like

406
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: posturing than an actual injury. And again, this is how

407
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: it goes. This is how negotiations goes. A guy wants something.

408
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: He is using what is in his means, what is

409
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: in in his ability to within the constructs of his

410
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: contract to negotiate the leverage that he has. He's exercising.

411
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: It is what it is. I'm not Look, you guys

412
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: can be mad at it. I've been a player. I

413
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: want him to get as much money as they can.

414
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: You gotta do what you gotta do now. As a fan,

415
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: you want him to play. You know how, he's gonna

416
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: make an impact. It could be a great season for him,

417
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: a season that propels him Uh even into an even

418
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: bigger U stratosphere in a bigger contract. But he's doing

419
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: what he can to try to secure his family and

420
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: the secure the bag right now. Can't really be mad

421
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: at that, but they're gonna have to figure it out.

422
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to figure out what they're gonna do

423
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: with him, whether they move on from him and trade him,

424
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: or they pay him so that he's out there on

425
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: week one. But he's gonna be a pivotal part of

426
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: this offense going forward, especially with Brandon Ayuk sideline till

427
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: at least week six to week ten, depending on how

428
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: he progresses. You need him there. You need this young

429
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: receiving corp to have a veteran there. Brock perty to

430
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: have a guy he knows he can depend on, a

431
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: guy you know, can separate, can get open in a

432
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: phone booth. And Juwan Jennings is there. He's also a

433
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: tone setter for this offense. He's also the attitude, the energy,

434
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: the muscle along with you know, George Kitto and everybody else,

435
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: but he brings a different element. He brings that element

436
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: of a bully an attitude to this team and this offense.

437
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: So it's something that's necessary, especially opening the game in

438
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Seattle against the Seattle Seahawks, who have looked really good

439
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: in the preseason, looked really good in training camp. A

440
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: defense that's gonna be trying to impose their will and

441
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: creating identity and establish an identity. You're gonna you're gonna

442
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: need to. You're gonna need to. You're gonna need him

443
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: on the field. Kyle Shanahan said he expects him to

444
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: be ready week one. He expects him to be back

445
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: for week one. That's a positive sign. That's that's that's great.

446
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: But we'll have to hear about him going to practice

447
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: and going through the motions and practice. If he's there

448
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: week one, uh, that'd be a great sign for this offense. Uh.

449
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: But defensively still a lot of question marks. I'm sure

450
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some waiver wire pickups. Even though on

451
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive line, there's gonna be some waiver

452
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: wire pickups. Are those draft picks who you thought they

453
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: were playing defensive tackle as a rookie? International Football League

454
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: is rough. This is a veteran game. In some of

455
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: these offensive line they have people movers, and so you

456
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: usually want to have that big veteran UH in there

457
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: who's been established that krusty veteran plays first and second down,

458
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: does not move, understands double teams, understands, you know how

459
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: to keep them off as linebackers, et cetera, et cetera.

460
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: So I'm expecting them to be very active on the

461
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: waiver wire and in free agency once these cuts happened,

462
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: or in the trades. Obviously they trade traded for Sky

463
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: Moore as well, because the receiving corps has been so depleted.

464
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: Are they going to use him in that Deebo Samuel role,

465
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, on the end of rounds in the backfield

466
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: to try to continue to have that dynamic that Kyle

467
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: Shanahan has had for the last five years. I think so. Obviously,

468
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: he's also a talented returner and they'll use him in

469
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: that space. But I think they've got to make some

470
00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: moves to strengthen the depth of their offs and defensive line,

471
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: and the only way they can do that right now

472
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: is through trades or picking up guys that have been

473
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: cut or released. The secondary is also banged up, so

474
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta get together, you gotta get together.

475
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully these guys op up in Stout is ready, Ronardo

476
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: Green is ready for Week one. That that would answer

477
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: a lot of those questions. If they're healthy, I think

478
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: they'll be solid back there. Ronardo so showed a lot

479
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: of flashes. Obviously, we know what Diamador Lenor has. The

480
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: linebackers will be great, But in the special teams, looks

481
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: like it improved. You know, big play. There were a

482
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: few big plays in the preseason. You know, I know

483
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: fans are really concerned about Jake Moody because that's the

484
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: wildcard and you're not you're not ever supposed to be

485
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: holding your breath for pats with a kicker or every kick.

486
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, is this gonna be? Is this

487
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: going in? And you want consistency, You want to have

488
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: an expectation. Hey, these are dependable. You can get three.

489
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: You can get three. This is the National Football League. Hey,

490
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: you're within the forty, you're inside the forty. You know

491
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: this is three. And that's what they had for a

492
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: long time with Robbie Gold And I know San Francisco

493
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: fans are sitting there like some of them are like,

494
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: we're ready to get rid of Robbie. And now you're

495
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: looking back like, oh, looking at pictures of Robbie, Like hmm,

496
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: that sure was nice to have that kind of consistency.

497
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: But they looks like they're rolling with Jake Moody. I

498
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: would have guess he's gonna have a short leash. If

499
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: if things don't go well in the first few games,

500
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: or or something happens and he doesn't kick well, I

501
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: would imagine that they're going to bring other people in.

502
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: But they seem to believe that he's the guy for

503
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: the job, and they continue to show confidence in him.

504
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: He did hit the game winner the other day in

505
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: the preseason game, but then you see the missed at

506
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: pat and then the kickout of bounds and you're like,

507
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: come on, but it looks like he's gonna be the guy.

508
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: So wrap your heads around that he's gonna be the guy.

509
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: He's gonna be out there. Hopefully he shows the promise

510
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: that they that he showed when they drafted him in

511
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: the third round, because if he doesn't, I think they're

512
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: gonna be picking it outside of Levi to get it,

513
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: bringing bring in a new kicker. But there's gonna be

514
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: a lot of players available. It's the cut deadline. There's

515
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna be people that are cut that weren't you weren't expecting.

516
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: There's gonna be players that available that I think weren't

517
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: available earlier here here in safety. Kyle Dugger is available.

518
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots have made him available. It looks like the

519
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers have made e Brown available

520
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: as well, So there's gonna be a lot of things

521
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: that change. I don't think you're gonna find any guys

522
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring in and make immediate starters. Maybe at

523
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: the receiver spot you may find guys that that are

524
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: impact players. But I think you're gonna see your roster

525
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: trains pretty pretty not drastically, but pretty reasonably as these

526
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: cuts happen and players become available. I expect the Sanfrans

527
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: Francisco for Doners as much as anybody, to be active,

528
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: especially offensive and defensive line depth and at the receiver

529
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: spot like if they if they can get them. I'm

530
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: seeing Jacoby Myers is looking for a trade out of

531
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I doubt they grant him that he's been

532
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: their number one receiver. H We'll see, we'll see. But

533
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: as always, I appreciate you guys joining me. You could

534
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,880
