Unbelievable. 21 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: All right, So we were off and running here our 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: two of the program, and so this was this was interesting, 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: and we've made mention of this before that at some 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: point somebody's just got to stop the damn fight. And 25 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 3: that stopped the damn fight. Is for Joe Shane and 26 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: the New York Giants who just continue to be reminded 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: of the awful, awful decision it was to move on 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: and not try and get something done with a guy 29 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: like Saquon Barkley who wanted to be there, wanted to 30 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: stay there, wanted to be a giant, did everything he 31 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: possibly could to try and be a giant, and still 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: they decided, Man, we're going to go in a different direction. 33 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: According to the NFLPA, they reported on Wednesday that Saquon 34 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 3: Barkley led all NFL players and sales of officially licensed 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: product from March of twenty twenty four to February of 36 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, the first running back to be ranked 37 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: number one since Zeke in twenty seventeen. And I'm trying 38 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: to think of a free agent deal working out better 39 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 3: for a player than Saquon Barkley, and I can't think 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 3: of a lot of them. Maybe Reggie White in Green Bay, 41 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: Tom Brady and Tampa worked out well. That worked out well, 42 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: but Saquon Barkley and what has happened to him since 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: leaving the Giants and going to the Eagles, which were 44 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: obviously better set up and more conducive to his success 45 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: than the Giants would have been. But it's hard to 46 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 3: imagine one signing going as well for a player as 47 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: it has gone for your guys, Saquon Barkley. 48 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here thinking to myself who who would that 49 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: have worked out for? But I can't think of any 50 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Brad Johnson, No, I mean, what do you mean? Look 51 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: him up when he left Washington to go to Tampa Bay. 52 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: Didn't he win the Super Bowl the very next year? 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think anybody looks at that and 54 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: says he was a He was a starting quarterback. But 55 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: you know there was a lot of that defense was 56 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: really you know, that the problem. Yeah, but I think Brad. 57 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: Johnson was a major part. Bray lewis me who I mean, 58 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: moving on, moving moving off? 59 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, steer clear that one. 60 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: But he left a different team and and and rejoined 61 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: the Ravens. 62 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: Definitely did won won a Super Bowl. 63 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: I definitely, uh, you know, regardless of if you could 64 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: literally if we could think of somebody that's comparable. It 65 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't matter because the bottom line is it's such an 66 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: American story, right, Like, you go from being a guy 67 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: who wants to win and win in New York the 68 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: team that drafted you number two overall, which means they 69 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: invested a draft pick that says we truly value who 70 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: you are. During that course of time, he did absolutely 71 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: everything humanly possible for that team to win. The offense 72 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: went through Sakwon Barkley. Sure, he suffered some injuries that 73 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: caused concern, but with that being said, he just he 74 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: he just needed help and he just needed to be 75 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: in a position where he, you know, where he could 76 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: have success. 77 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: And go ahead, go, I was just gonna make I 78 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: thought of a couple of more Drew Brees going to 79 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: New Orleans. 80 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: He didn't win the Super Bowl the next year though, Yeah, 81 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: and he didn't have an MVP type year. But no, 82 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: I don't want to go. I don't want to take 83 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: away go god Drew Brees. 84 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: Who else? 85 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: Peyton Manning would be another one, Okay, And it's really 86 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: Sakwan's on the short list, man Like, there's not a lot. 87 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: Would you say Derrick Henry. 88 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: Didn't win a super Bowl, So I can't even put 89 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,119 Speaker 3: it in. And it wasn't a you know, two thousand. 90 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: Season, But did did Peyton Manning didn't win the Super 91 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Bowl the very next year? 92 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 3: And no? 93 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: Did he? 94 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: No, So we can't say that he hasn't won a 95 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: super Bowl and he just hasn't got one yet. Yeah, 96 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean, and it's looked last year was his what 97 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: second year with the Ravens or his first first year? 98 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: First year? Yeah, I mean, dang, give him some time. 99 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying, like, as far as on the short. 100 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: But did Drew Brees win a super Bowl the very 101 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: next year when he left? No, it was at least 102 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: three or four? Well, damn Jonas. 103 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying it like Saquon Barkley's on the 104 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: short list of greatest free agent signings in the history 105 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 3: of the NFL. 106 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: Yes, that's okay, Okay, I could see that that's a 107 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: much better, I guess discussion point. But and in fact 108 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: that he went, the fact that he was discarded the 109 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: way we're not going to pay a running back all 110 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: this money when we're paying or pay a quarterback all 111 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: this money to pay a running back to run the 112 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: ball like that's what you said. That was like, and 113 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: then you heard the pain in Saquon's voice, like almost 114 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: like almost to think that Saquon would possibly go somewhere 115 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: else and it not work out, which could have. 116 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: Very easily happened. 117 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: He could have gone to a franchise and an organization 118 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: that might not have been as as well built and 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: prepared for the talent level that he was bringing to 120 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: the table, and it could have just ended bad and 121 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: the New York Giants dodge a bullet. But he went 122 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: to a good organization, a well ran organization, a well 123 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: built personnel you know that they have on their roster. 124 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: And you see what happens when a guy of that 125 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: caliber and that type of talent goes to a stable situation, 126 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: a well ran situation, which to me, that's sad because 127 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: I felt like the Giants ought were a well ran 128 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: organization when I was there. I don't, you know, but 129 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: listening to the way that took place, I don't know 130 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: any of those people other than the ownership that was 131 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: in the room. I don't know the GM I don't 132 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: know you know, the coaches, I don't know them. But 133 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: it just it gives way to the conversation of Wow, 134 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: if you thought there was no correlation between the decision 135 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: makers and what you see on the like it's like, oh, coaches, coach, 136 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, players play, and that's what it is, and 137 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: that's why there's way more to it. 138 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: There's way more to it. And you got a chance 139 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: to see that. 140 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: You got a chance to see how people talk about 141 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: players and how they feel about it. And they were 142 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: willing to just let Saquon go for this reason, and 143 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: that reason wasn't even really valid reasons. They could have 144 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: found a way to pay that man that money, but 145 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have been what Saquon is in Philly in 146 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: New York. So in a way, it's that American story 147 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: I talked about. It's the underdog story where a guy 148 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: that was on top went down. You know, he sounded 149 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: depressed on the call, like can't believe it, Like what 150 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: are you doing? 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: You know what I'm doing? Mother, lover? 152 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: What do you mean asking me what I'm doing? Okay, Well, 153 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: we're just letting you know that. You know, you could 154 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: go like you could go. 155 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,599 Speaker 2: Like what we just you know, we're going to go 156 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: in a different direction, you know, and you've you've. 157 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 3: You've talked about your time in New York and that 158 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: it was a first class organization through and true. And 159 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: so that's why I look at it and I go. 160 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: Like I said, I knew the ownership, guys that were in, 161 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: the owner who said what he said, but I don't. 162 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't you know the other people they weren't like 163 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: Ernie A. Corsey was there, which I believe he was 164 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: the ultimate and true architect of the reason why those 165 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: teams won Super Bowls is Ernie A. 166 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: Corsey. 167 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: And to me, Tom Coughlin was a dope coach. People 168 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: could say what they want to say about him, but 169 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: he is a dope ass coach and it's a well 170 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,479 Speaker 1: ran organization. That's a you know, that's a great recipe. 171 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: But I don't see that in New York right now. 172 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know the people that are 173 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: there right now. 174 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 3: And that that's why Joe Shane the GM is the 175 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: guy who's going to wear this for the rest of 176 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 3: his career. Right or wrong, He's going to get labeled 177 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: as he's the one who let Saquon walk. It's just 178 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: and certain. You know, made mention of this before, but 179 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: you know, Seth Greenberg of ESPN was the coach at 180 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: Virginia Tech, and he was the guy who said noice. 181 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: Steph Curry like, even though your dad played here and 182 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 3: he you know, he's a VA Tech alum, Seth Greenberg 183 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 3: was like, Noah, listen, we're not going to offer him. 184 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 3: And he's got to where that and he hears about 185 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: that constantly based on the career Steph Curry's had not 186 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 3: even so much in college. But but what happened to 187 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: him in the NBA. And so we're one year in 188 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: to Saquon Barkley becoming an Eagle and he's already got 189 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: all the breaks the merchandise sales according to the NFLPA 190 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: first running back to do that since twenty seventeen in 191 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: a league which, by the way, a year ago we 192 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: were told the running back position is dead. He went on, 193 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: rushed for two thousand yards, nearly broke the single season record, 194 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl, got the mad and cover. Everything 195 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 3: is hit for him. Every it's gone as as perfectly 196 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: as it could have possibly gone. And it's to the 197 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 3: arch rival of the team, and you're Joe Shane, You've 198 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 3: just got to wear this for the rest of your career. 199 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: That what makes it worse is that it couldn't have 200 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: happened to a better person. That's what makes it worse, 201 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Like if it was someone, oh, you know, you know, 202 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: just using you as an example, I ain't saying you're 203 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: a bad person, but yeah, but just imagine if he 204 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: had had the pictures with the toosy, the tousy and 205 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: and and was on on you know, the boat with 206 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: with all yeah, all these these these young ladies and 207 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: you're surrounded and it's not as if he had anything 208 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: that that flagged him as a checkered past or or 209 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: this person has done wrong. He has been an upstanding, 210 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: upright positive representation of the game, an ambassador of the game. 211 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: He was a strong representation and gave hope to Giants 212 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: fans and then he did the same thing to where 213 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: he landed in Philadelphia. So it couldn't have happened to 214 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: a better person. You actually allowed and the owner said it. 215 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: He's easily one of the most loved, beloved, like well 216 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: admired athletes players that we've had, like we've had like ever, 217 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: like ever, right, Like imagine if it was like if 218 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: it was LT, Like, let's not look as far as 219 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: LT you like, we're gonna go in a different direction. 220 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, ah, he's the greatest of all time. 221 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: You can't. 222 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: But man, maybe he might not be available, you know, 223 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: maybe something could go wrong. Like there's ways of finding 224 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: things that can help a fan justify and get through 225 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: the pain of losing one of its favorite players. There's 226 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: zero boxes checked off off and getting rid of Saquon Barkley. 227 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: Zero thinks, so Joe Shang live with it. 228 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I I'm trying to like, how do you justify 229 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: the decision? It can't it's not And by the way, 230 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: it wasn't even like they broke the bank to pay him, 231 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: Like the Eagles came back after one year, We're like, hey, 232 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 3: we're going to give you a bump because we realized 233 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: for I think it was making thirteen and change on 234 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 3: his contract as a running back. And then when he 235 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: did agree to you know, when he wanted to stay 236 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: there long term and they weren't going to give him 237 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: the deal and they franchised him. You remember that was 238 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: the same offseason Josh Jacobs got franchised and they decided 239 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 3: to franchise Saquon Barkley. He had every right to no 240 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: show camp, not to show up at the very last 241 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: minute and be like, man, I'm just you know, pull 242 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: a Tray Hendrickson or whatever you want to do, just 243 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 3: not be there, and instead showed up on time I 244 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 3: think might have even been early and just said listen, 245 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 3: I'm not happy about it, but I to my teammates 246 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 3: he handled everything perfectly and still let him walk. And 247 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: he walks right into a super Bowl and he might 248 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: be a Hall of Famer because of this time with Philly, 249 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: like he might be. 250 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: Not to mention. 251 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: What happened and how it all went with the quarterback 252 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: that seemingly they made it a choo choosy situation, which 253 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: was a horrible play as well, like to make it 254 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: a choosy situation between Daniel Jones and Sakwon Barkley. Now 255 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about Daniel Jones and where's where's the where's the. 256 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: Brand new, brand new starter for the Colts? 257 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: Right there you go, So there you go. He's not 258 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 2: even in New York anymore. 259 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: So imagine if if Daniel Jones goes and there are 260 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: some people that are calling the Colts a dark horse. 261 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: Some people think that the Colts are are built to 262 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: have a really good season. If if they can get 263 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: strong quarterback play. So imagine if Daniel Jones goes and 264 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: balls out and you see a rematch, or not a rematch, 265 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: but you see a reunion of sorts between Saquon and 266 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and the Super Bowl. 267 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: Imagine that you think Joe Shane will be watching. 268 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: I would assume that he might have time to watch 269 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: if that were to happen. Probably wouldn't you wouldn't you 270 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't you be on FaceTime or set up a zoom 271 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: call immediately upon the announcement of the Colts winning the 272 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: AFC Divisional Championship Round and the Philadelphia Eagles winning the 273 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: NFC Divisional Championship Round and are going to. 274 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: Meet in the Super Bowl. 275 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you be on a call that Monday to talk 276 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: through things face to face on zoom or in the 277 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: office that one that one might even be jump on 278 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the jet, go back to the facility. We're meeting in 279 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: the office, Like how do you get out of the 280 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: way of it? Yeah, if Daniel Jones has a career 281 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: year next year and Sakwon Barkley continues to do what 282 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: he's doing, that because it says something about the environment 283 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: that that you've created as a GM. Yeah, so he'd 284 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: have time. It's a it's a rough way to go. 285 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 3: But listen, he's got uh, you know, he's got James 286 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 3: Winston and uh Russell Wilson. 287 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: Do uh to take you Jackson throw some of the 288 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: sting off? 289 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.

A little over 326 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 3: fifteen minutes from now, all right, So the most discussed 327 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 3: room in the NFL is the Cleveland Browns quarterback room. 328 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: There's a lot to discuss there. I mean, you could 329 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: make a reality show of just the Browns quarterback room. 330 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 3: Whether it's forty year old Joe Flacco, you're given it 331 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 3: one last run after winning a super Bowl with the 332 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 3: organization that left Cleveland to go win a super Bowl 333 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: and multiple Super Bowls with whether it's that, whether it's 334 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: Shador Sanders, Dylan Gabriel taken in the same draft, Kenny Pickett, 335 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 3: who was a Steeler, went cross state to Philly, won 336 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl as a backup, and now he's in 337 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 3: Cleveland potentially vying for a role on that roster. Or 338 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson who just had a bachelor party and is 339 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: recovering from a rerupture of his achilles after rerupturing his 340 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 3: reputation with all the grab Lab visits you know, a 341 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 3: couple of years ago. All that, there's enough storylines on 342 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 3: just the Browns quarterback room that you could fill an 343 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: entire offseason. But Joe Flacco, he's looking around at the 344 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 3: reps and the splitting up of the reps as far 345 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 3: as hey, you know, who's gonna get a shot here, 346 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 3: Who's gonna get a shot there? Here was Flacco discussing 347 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 3: the plan for the REP split at mini camp with Cleveland. 348 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 6: I don't know what the plan is but exactly, but 349 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 6: you know, I trust Kevin and that he has a 350 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 6: plan for all this, and yeah, that's really all I 351 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 6: can do. You know, Listen, I'd love to go out 352 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 6: there and take one hundred and twenty reps a day 353 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 6: and get in the groove and do all those things. 354 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 6: But like I said, the coaches have a plan, Kevin 355 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 6: has a plan, and my job is to just trust that, 356 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 6: go out there and do the best I can do. 357 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: You think Joe Flacco and Stefanski look at each other 358 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: sometimes and go, what the hell are we dealing with here? 359 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: Like why do we have to deal with all this? 360 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 3: Like what? Like why can't we just go and just 361 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: try and win enough games to save jobs? And instead 362 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 3: we've got two drafted quarterbacks we traded for Kenny Pickett, 363 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 3: We've got all the other stuff going on, Like can 364 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 3: we just can we just get back to the good 365 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: old days when Deshaun Watson you couldn't depend on because 366 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 3: the hell than other issues and Joe Flacco could just 367 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 3: come in for five games and win comeback Player of 368 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 3: the Year simpler times a couple of years ago in Cleveland. 369 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: You know, Flaco is a journeyman now an old one too, 370 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: and damn well, I just think you got to make 371 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: sure that you keep things in the proper context. This 372 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: isn't the team's franchise quarterback, their player four years to come. 373 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: So Flacco knows what he knows about what he knows, 374 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: and that's it. It doesn't go any further than that. 375 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Whatever it is that they decide they want to do, 376 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: it has zero commentary and nod and sign off from 377 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, whether he trusts Stefanski or not. You're here 378 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: for a reason. That's a reason that they know inside 379 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: the organization. That doesn't necessarily mean that Joe Flacco's all 380 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: the way clear, which he probably isn't going to be 381 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: all the way clear on what they. 382 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: May want to do. 383 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: What they may want to do may change by the week, 384 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: It may change by the day. I don't know that 385 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: Stefanski knows what the plan is, you know. So you're 386 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: you're in a situation where it is such a fluid 387 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: situation and it's almost to take it as it comes, 388 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: but you do have to figure out who's getting the reps. 389 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: And I listen, I'm I'm i'm an. I ain't gonna 390 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be petty, but I mean maybe I am. 391 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: I look at. 392 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Clips too, and I look at clips from shows as well. 393 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: I don't study them super hard. I just see them. 394 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: But I did see in the same clip where I 395 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: was being referenced as one of those guys in media 396 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: or one of those guys that works here. Why would 397 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: you start shador Sanders, I'll say, I'll double down on 398 00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. 399 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 3: Well, can I ask you a question. Who's who made 400 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: the comment? 401 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: Oh? 402 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 2: Rob Parker made it? 403 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: Rob, Yeah, the guy who had a glizzy in his mouth. 404 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: Dang, here's here's what I'm gonna say. And he can't 405 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: understand the logical I had a glizzy in my mouth. 406 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: That guy, oh gosh, he should seeks to he should 407 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 2: seeks to speak on anything after him. 408 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to start no no in in you 409 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: know sports, you know Fox Sports Radio all started. I'm 410 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: not trying to start no beef. But Rob, come on, man, 411 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: Like my whole thing is looking at the scenario that's 412 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: going on in Cleveland right now. No one is good 413 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: enough to say they should be the starter. I'm gonna 414 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: let that one sink in. I'm gonna let that one 415 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: sink in, and then I'll go from here and say this, 416 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders is getting. 417 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: All of the all. 418 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: Of the pub all of the highlights coming out of Cleveland, 419 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: all of the conversations coming out of Cleveland, which are 420 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: big topic conversations on all the network shows. It's showing 421 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders. And now the narrative arises, oh, well, he's 422 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: doing that against the third team, He's doing that against 423 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: the fourth string. 424 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: Dada, this is not they're all pros. 425 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: Lady and gentlemen. Let me say that one more time. 426 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: We're not talking about youth football league. We're not talking 427 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: about high school football. We're not talking about college football. 428 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: We are talking about the pros. So, whether you are. 429 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 2: First string, second string, third string. 430 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 3: What are they? 431 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: Jonas? Are they? No? I just told you what they are. 432 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: They're they're pros. They're pros. I mean, I mean, what 433 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 2: what are they are they not? Are they not a pro? 434 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 5: Yes? 435 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: Or no? 436 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're pros. But there is no butt. They're a pro. 437 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: So if they do, you know how many people are 438 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: sitting at home wishing they could say, I'm a pro. 439 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 3: Oh I got you. I'm just. 440 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: So this whole, this whole idea like to make it 441 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: generic that a guy that is on on a team, 442 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: that that's in coverage or that's the receiver, is somehow 443 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: some way disqualified because they're not the number one. 444 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 2: Let's look at the amount. 445 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: Look at the amount of guys that have taken third string, 446 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: second string snaps coming out of college and that are 447 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: now in the Hall of Fame. Go look that one up. 448 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: When you get some time, you'll see guys that have 449 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: been cut. They were journeymen, they were you know, you know, 450 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: injury was the reason why they got an opportunity. 451 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 2: All kinds of different stories. 452 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: Connected to how guys make it to the pros, I mean, 453 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, and which, by the way, 454 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: are some extraordinary stories because more often than not, they 455 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: come from obscurity. They weren't the chosen one at every 456 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: single level. But this idea, this notion that you can 457 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: disqualify what Shador Sanders is doing with those highlights that 458 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: continue to surface is because of the level of talent 459 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: that he's going up against. That's an on my that 460 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: comes up with a red X. That one isn't on 461 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: the board. You're not going to score points, you're not. 462 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: You got two more misses like that doesn't that doesn't 463 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: qualify you're there. 464 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 2: You're there. Yeah, if you're there, you're there. 465 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 3: It's like when Steeler fans there's been this notion that 466 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: Steeler fans aren't thrilled with the Aaron Rodgers signing, and 467 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 3: it's like, dude, you're not in a position to dictate 468 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 3: terms to anybody, Like you're not in a position to 469 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: complain or rank anything. At this point, you needed a quarterback, 470 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: Rogers is the best available. Now you just roll with that. 471 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 3: So to your point on the Browns quarterback situation, it's 472 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 3: not like Flacco signed a six year deal. It's not 473 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: like Kenny Pickett's on a five year deal, you know, 474 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 3: with a with a player option for a sixth. These 475 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: are one year deals. And you've got rookie quarterbacks there 476 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 3: and a weirdo who's not on the field, and he's 477 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: the main reason why they're in this position. So everybody 478 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 3: is a live dog to be the start of a 479 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 3: Cleveland The idea, how do you how do you. 480 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: Figure out who's going to take all of the reps 481 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: if you're not giving Flacco many reps? Like I heard 482 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: them also saying that SoundBite that, well, it's Flacco and 483 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: he's a vet. We know what he can do. He 484 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have to take any any reps. He doesn't have 485 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: to do anything. 486 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: He is not. 487 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: The franchise quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. So how do 488 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: you sit there and say, oh, we're going why because 489 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: of how many years he has in the league. That 490 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: man just came in as a free agent back to 491 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: your team. By the way, you let him go. You 492 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: brought him back if he was that, if he was 493 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: so good, why did you let him go? 494 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: And also the other part, like I believe Joe Flacco 495 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 3: is going to be named the starter. That that's my belief. 496 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 3: I think Flacco will give the opportunity to start the season. 497 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 3: But if they decided we're gonna see what we got 498 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: in Shitto or Dylan Gabriel, I get it. Like, it's 499 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 3: not like this is a ballsy Oh boy, what a 500 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: gutsy call. No, they're looking around going we're kind of 501 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 3: in a difficult spot here. Kevin Stefanski is Basically his 502 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: job is depending on a front office and an owner 503 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 3: that has put him in difficult situations as a head coach. 504 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 3: As far as quarterbacks go, they just have like he's 505 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 3: not had a lot of luck as far as a 506 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 3: we're gonna we made a move and it's gonna work out. 507 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: Other than the Joe Flacco decision, Look, he won a 508 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 3: playoff game with Baker Mayfield. He wasn't there because of 509 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 3: COVID and whatnot, but he won a playoff game with 510 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield. Gone, they go out and they signed to 511 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 3: Sean Watson, can't depend on him. They bring in Joe Flacco, 512 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: go to the playoffs again, then they let Joe Flaka walk. 513 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 3: They've put Stefanski in a really difficult spot. So the 514 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 3: idea of that, it's this far fetched thought that the 515 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 3: Shadoor Sanders would be named the starter. It's not anything 516 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 3: is on the table in Cleveland. 517 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's far fetched to just put him 518 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: out to start and position now. Just let him take 519 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: starting rep. I would rather him take starting reps now 520 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: than take starting reps and training camp. 521 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 2: Let that one seeink in. 522 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: I'd rather if you're going to give starting reps to 523 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: guys like your third round pick, like your draft picks. 524 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 2: Do it now, do it now? Do it now? So 525 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: how many reps are you going to be able to get? 526 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: How many? 527 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: Like when you're a starter in the National Football League, 528 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: they generally get all of the reps. The only way 529 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: you're able to get impactful reps as a backup is 530 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: really if you're running plays, and you're running plays off 531 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: of cards, so and you're running them against the starting defense. 532 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: That's how you get reps is by being the scout team, 533 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: the scout team quarterback. And now even though you're running, 534 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: you're running cards, and we know the play because we're 535 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: studying the opponent's offense, you're still able to get the 536 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: reads and the understanding. You're able to put it on 537 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: film what you're doing against a starting defense. 538 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: So you know what you do. 539 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: You know what you do because you're not preparing for 540 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: you're not preparing for any any games right now. You're 541 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: just implementing your installing and you're getting reps if you're 542 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: if you're running a traditional style off a practice practice sheet, 543 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: a practice schedule, you're going to have periods for your defense. 544 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: You're going to have periods for your offense. Why not 545 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: just choose to during the defensive periods? Why not make 546 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: those offensive periods just like the defense is. It's it's 547 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: defense centric, it's defense heavy. But so what still be 548 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: taking taking reps as these are reps for the Cleveland 549 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: Browns offense, not for an opponent that you're going to see. 550 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: And then now you have the starter, the starter over here, 551 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: he's over here, you know, and and air quotes. He's 552 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: on the other field doing what he's doing with the 553 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: starting offense. And you have another set of quarterbacks. So 554 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: have a set of quarterbacks with the starting group, have 555 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: another set of quarterbacks with the scout group. But you're 556 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: running the same plays in both places. 557 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying. 558 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: So now you can split those you can split those 559 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: reps between the two guys that are running those reps 560 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: with those two units, even though one is going is 561 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: servicing the starting defense and the other one is being 562 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: serviced by a scout team defense. 563 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: It's OTA's it's. 564 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: Mini camps, even in training camp until we get to 565 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: a point where we're starting to do things that are 566 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: preparing for teams. I feel like having four quarterbacks and 567 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks getting an opportunity to be what they're going 568 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: to be. To structure a practice this way would be impactful. 569 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: It would be very impactful. Unless they're practicing and everyone 570 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: is together, if everyone all every single one, first string, 571 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: second string there, I don't. I don't even know that 572 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: there is really a fourth string that exists. 573 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: I don't. 574 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a fourth string. I think you 575 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: go through third string and then that's pretty much it. 576 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: But I could be wrong. I don't recall ever seeing 577 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: a fourth or fifth string. But if all of them 578 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: are together and they're doing all of their all of 579 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: their they're parts of the practice schedule together, which I've 580 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: never seen that either, then that that that's problematic and 581 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: you should have a better plan approach to your practices. 582 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: You should be able to get your player's reps even 583 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: if you have four quarterbacks on your on your roster. 584 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: But that's just me. 585 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 3: Thinking out loud, you know, you know it's hilarious like that, 586 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 3: like just in thinking about this out loud, that's crazy 587 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 3: talk that Shador should be named the starter. Now you 588 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 3: know what crazy talk is giving DeShawn Watson two hundred 589 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: and thirty million dollars guarantee. 590 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the crazy talk. And he's not even 591 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: in the conversation for the job. 592 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 3: Where's DeShawn He's at his bachelor party.
