1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: M The Around the League Podcast could beat Dante Whitner.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Round the League Podcast.

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansis, and I am joined by

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes Chris Westling, Mark Sessler, and

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: Greg Rosen thought what hop boys? Hey Dan, Happy Friday.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: And to you, I was in a chipper mood. I

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: came in on my off day and we were walking

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: up to the studio and at one point I put

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: my arm around Mark and he he kind of physically

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: withered within my grip and sort of shook out of it,

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: shook out of it a little bit, and maybe I've

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: decided you're a guy that just doesn't like the touching. No, no,

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: that that's over dramatizing it. It's tad um. I thought

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: that it was a little bit uh flip on your part,

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: and so that was probably more my response. And two

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: keywords off day and we're on the on day, right,

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: we're cranking high of content. He's saying, we're business. I

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: am just in a mode that is less playful. Well,

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: you are very upset about March madness. To you, do

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: not like the fact that people are watching and on

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: the television's enjoying office life post Super Bowl. You want

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: everyone focused on work. I think the I think that

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: West and Greg are on board with this, that it

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: is a tedious distraction where you've got a small pocket

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: of the room non style. It's Football seven for us

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: cranking out low level free agency transactions, and the rest

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: of the room essentially could be at a dive bar,

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: watching big screen TVs and proffering bets on basketball. Am

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: I wrong? I know I'm alone on this one, but

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I would rather hear about how you magically constructed your

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: fantasy football roster than any thoughts about where you went

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: to college or how your college team is doing, how

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: your bracket is doing. Your grown man, you're forty years old.

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Who cares where you went to college twenty years ago. UM.

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: I will retort that one of the reasons I got

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: into sports was for a scenario whereby I'm in my

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: office and March madness is in the room. I mean,

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: that's what's cool about sports. And you work in a

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: newsroom and people are talking and it's on if you

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: can't if people get out of line and they talk

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: too much, I get it, and they distract you from

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: doing your work, and that is every man opinion that's

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: gonna get win from the listeners shore But I'm admitting

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm an outlier looking for well, when there's a big eruption,

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, someone hits a buzzer beater or whatever, I'd

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: like to look over at Mark because I just can't

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: wait for it to end. I admit I'm grumpy about it.

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm closer to Mark's side of things, but I can

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: understand dance as well, because we're find the outlier within

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: the A T L group. Yeah, I grew up loving it,

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: and it actually makes me wonder why have I like

52
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: something that meant so much to me for so long?

53
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Even as recently as six or seven years ago, I

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: was really into Like you know, I could care less.

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: I used to love Yukon and I I didn't even

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: watch their game on purpose, Like I knew it was

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: on and I just didn't want to watch it. And

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: you're grown up now, Yeah, I guess. So I grew

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: up loving this field of sixty four. Syracuse was my

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: dad's team. Watched years and years of Syracuse basketball, so

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: it's in my heritage, but it's where I am today.

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't care less. You spoke of going to the

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: motion pictures with your father in the last podcast, and

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: West deflated the moment. West, how do you shoot down

65
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: that childhood memory mark is Gargamel and march madness is

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: the Smurfs. I like to see it the other way around. Now,

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: all these people are out having fun like the Smurfs,

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: just running around, and you want to clamp down on

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: that fun. But you agree with me, Yes, sol Twin,

70
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: that would make me as real. Well, you guys like that.

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: He's my little pet cat. You guys are the older

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: generation of a t L. And I do think this

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: is somewhat about getting old. When you get older, you

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: have to just start deciding things that are no longer

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: worth your time. You only have so much time left

76
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: on earth that you're gonna focus on the things you

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: like and you don't need this. I also like to

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: pivot it in the way that we are very focused

79
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: on the assignments that Greg has given us, very work

80
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: focus right now. One of my observations about adulthood to

81
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: how it's weird that people over the age of thirty

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: five get into all these niche like fields. People get

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: into uh like square dancing. They all they only hang

84
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: out with their square dancing. How does a person end

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: up like that? Just people need things to do to

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: get through life. That's what it is. They need distractions. Alright,

87
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: So now that half the podcast is over, let's get

88
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: into some football talk. Um. We have a full show

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: later on. We're going to talk with um one of

90
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: the great defensive players of the last decade. Am I

91
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: overstanding it? Who cares? He was a guest, So let's

92
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: let's respect them, man, I think that's overstaying. Good Bears

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: linebacker Lance Briggs, a seven time Pro bowler. Uh. He

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: will be on the show a little later. He's gonna

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: talk with uh, Mark, Greg and I, and then we're

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: going to West. Doesn't like players, so we we asked

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: him to leave the room when the players come in.

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's not exactly how played out, but let's

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: let's let's leave it out like that. Um. Also, we're

100
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: going to do a little talk about the running backs

101
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: left on the market and where they shake app But

102
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: before we do that, as we always do during the offseason,

103
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: the gold standard behind the glass. How are you doing great? Thanks?

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: I assume you were watching soccer in the editing room

105
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: while everyone was watching Yeah, yeah, I was so confused.

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: People were running around with are using their hands and stuff.

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Is weird? Yeah, Um, can we do some ox first

108
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: team looking this year? We're all right, we're doing great.

109
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: We're in the Division eighteen basket netball chaper wearing a

110
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: football jersey. Actually, I see it gets even worse. How

111
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: did this happen? How did you end up playing in college?

112
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: You need to just start with a fake British accent

113
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: at this point, did you have a wicked Google? The

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: wickedest of Google's West. It's all over my head. Now news, yeah,

115
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: let's do some news it alright. We start in Oakland,

116
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: where the Raiders are close to acquiring Matt Shob in

117
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: a trade from the Houston Texans. This would make Shob

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: the presumptive starter in Oakland after what was by all accounts,

119
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Matt Shob would agree a nightmare two

120
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen season in Houston. Um, this seems a little

121
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: strange to me. I mean, it seems like, uh, you're

122
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: getting shop on the other end of it. But it

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: also plays into this fact that the Raiders are in

124
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: this weird in the middle zone where they're rebuilding and

125
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: trying to somehow win seven games. Where what do you

126
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: guys take from this move on the way. I feel

127
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: like Reggie McKenzie is that baseball general manager that's spending

128
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: all sorts of money just trying to be five hundred.

129
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: There's no chance that they could win a title, but

130
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: they're doing everything possible to save their jobs and win

131
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: seven games. And Matt Shob Chris would argue, this is

132
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: probably the best guy out there to go do that.

133
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I think Matt Schob was awful last season, and I

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: don't think I guess Reggie mackenzie and Greg Rosenthal disagree

135
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: with me. I don't think anyone who watched Terrell Prior

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and Matt Shob over the last twenty games can say

137
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: that Matt Shob is a better quarterback than Terrell Brior.

138
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Prior Or gives you a better chance to win. I

139
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: know that football guys probably feel in a similar vein

140
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: about Tim Tebow and Prior that Prior is not a

141
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: long term answer. When you only use half the field,

142
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: teams are gonna catch on it, and progressively you're gonna

143
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: get easier to defend. So I understand that I don't

144
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: think Shops an upgrade in any way I agree with you, Wesleyan.

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: And one reason this is more fascinating than any basketball

146
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: games going on is because this is the team building

147
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: time of year where we learn a lot about not

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: only Reggie mackenzie, but I think the pressure that Reggie

149
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Mackenzie is under. And there are obviously people, whether it's

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: the coaches, uh the owner whoever in his ear saying

151
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: we we saw Terrell prior and we don't want to

152
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: do that for another year. And it seems desperate to

153
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: us on the outside. But there's something they like about

154
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Matt Shob. But like you said on another show, Shops

155
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: played dipped severely in two thousand twelve at the end

156
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: of the season. It wasn't just last year, and they

157
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: are paying him a king's ransom to come in and

158
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: presumably start from week one. I don't get it because

159
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: I love the James Jones signing. I like some of

160
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: the stuff that Mackenzie started to do. They're taking us

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: on a roller coaster ride it. Yeah, you're right. It's

162
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: not just choosing Shob over prior. It's choosing Shob for

163
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: ten million dollars and trading what will probably be a

164
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: inconsequential draft pick for him. This is a different move

165
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: than Houston bringing in Ryan Fitzpatrick, which they did uh

166
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: this week, or Matt Castle resigning in Minnesota, or Jacksonville

167
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: bringing Chad Hanniback. This is ten million dollars is it's

168
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna be our starter. I think they could

169
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: still draft a guy. Do you guys think they'll they

170
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: could still take a quarterback with the number five pick.

171
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: It's possible. I think they think this is kind of

172
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: like the Jacksonville situation that allows you to go best

173
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: player available but probably doesn't have a huge impact on

174
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: your draft. They couldn't potentially dial up a guy like

175
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: car later in the draft or something where there isn't

176
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: this pressure to put him out on the field. It

177
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like they're about to pick a rookie and

178
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: have him supersed Shaw by week one. That would be

179
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: very weird, isn't it. Isn't It certainly possible, if not probable,

180
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: that the Raiders could have just let Job get released

181
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: and then signed him to a two year, six and

182
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: a half seven million dollar contract. I think they were

183
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: worried that Browns were gonna take him. Shanahan sitting and

184
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna get outbid in a bidding war for Matt

185
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: shob coming off one of the worst seasons in recent

186
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: memory in terms of disaster plays. I I just don't

187
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: buy this fact that they needed to give up anything

188
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: and then pay the guy uh seven and figures to

189
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: make in their quarterback. It just seems like way too

190
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: much for a guy in the down slope. I can't

191
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: figure out what Mackenzie's doing, and I've been trying to

192
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: I've been trying to check myself and wonder if I've

193
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: been too hard on him. I understand you don't want

194
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: to overpay for young free agents if you don't see

195
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: their solution. Veld here in Houston I thought were their

196
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: best players. Mackenzie obviously didn't value them that much, and

197
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: and I guess I see getting some leadership in there,

198
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: some proven talent. But I think Greg's right, you're spending

199
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: your way to a seven win team here. I don't

200
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: know what's what's the end game saving your job? I

201
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: guess it's the end game. But is there a coach

202
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: in Oakland or someone with a voice that says this

203
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: is such a better option for us than getting Ryan

204
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick or someone else. I mean, who Fitzpatrick's a better

205
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: quarterback right now? Someone obviously lobbied really hard for the

206
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: Raiders to jump off the mcplank and do this. Who

207
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: thinks Roger Staffold, with multiple injuries over the last few years,

208
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: is a better player than Jared Beldier. And I guess

209
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm just confused. I don't think I can evaluate talent

210
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: better than Reggie mackenzie. I'm just thoroughly confused by what

211
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: they're looking for in players. We should call this the

212
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Reggie coaster now in terms of his free agency, where

213
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: it plummets and then it starts rising a little bit

214
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: and now it's plummeting. Jones was he had a nice,

215
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: a nice little string of signings late in the first

216
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: week of free agency. I thought, where he kind of,

217
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: you know, Lee was spending the money and there's bringing

218
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: in some guys that weren't terrible. Um, it was obviously

219
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: an upgrade over Saffold. But now with Shob I'm back out,

220
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: they have a stronger roster than they did last year. Yeah,

221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: So in that way, I guess there's a wrong. I

222
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: think Shob, with a good offensive line and running game,

223
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: could go out there and he wouldn't embarrass you. Maybe

224
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: he's the twenty second best starter in the league, the

225
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: twentie best starter in the league. He's better than some,

226
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: but that the Raiders don't have that on a better roster.

227
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: Last year he embarrassed himself. I do think that there

228
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: was a lot of four straight games and called him

229
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: broken man. Then he was a broken man. Well, that's

230
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: just a guy who's watching the games like us. Since

231
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving him two thousand twelve, Shop has sixteen touchdowns versus

232
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty interceptions, yards per attempt down by two from eight

233
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: points something to six. I think the fact they had

234
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: to trade him and paid him this much, that is

235
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: really a case where the Raiders being at a low

236
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: hurt them because I think Dan's right um that he

237
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't be paid that much. But if your Matt Shop,

238
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I think he did have options. They knew that that

239
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: the Browns wanted to get him with Kyle Shanahan, and

240
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: maybe he would have taken less money to stay away

241
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: from Oakland, so they had to overpay and other news

242
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: in Miami, rich Well, this isn't in Miami. Richie Incognito

243
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: would like to return to the Dolphins or the Oakland Raiders.

244
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: We've just been talking about maybe that would be the

245
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: next step in the Reggie coaster, to sign Richie Incognito,

246
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: bring him to town. But his uh, Incognito's returned to

247
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the league is not uh that simple a matter just

248
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: simply finding a suitor. A league source told NFL media

249
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: insider Ian Rappaport on Friday that Incognito could sign a contract,

250
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: but he can't be paid or play until he undergoes

251
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: a comprehensive evaluation by NFL and NFL Players Association designated

252
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: medical advisors, and then Rob Roger Goodell must review their

253
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: report and recommend it. There just seems to be a

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of step at this guy back in the league,

255
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: and he was a middling guard entering his age thirty

256
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: two season before this. Right, I think he has friends

257
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: in the media who for whatever reason, have fallen under

258
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito's spell over the years, that have been trying

259
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: to sell that maybe he can go back to the

260
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins or the Raiders. Why would any why would any

261
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: team want this guy? He is a borderline even if

262
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: he didn't have everything going off, but he's got problems.

263
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: He's been in three different facilities, he's unhinged. It's insane. Well,

264
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: don't think if you want to make a quick argument

265
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: for him landing in Oakland, he has a relationship, you know,

266
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: presumably not negative with Greg Olsen and with Tony Sperrano.

267
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: But if you look at the Oakland's current roster, they

268
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: have six guards. They don't need him, and also, by

269
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the way, not a very good player. If this guy

270
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: gets back into the NFL and Tim Tebow can't, the

271
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: NFL loses all credibility. There's no reason Richie Incognito should

272
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: ever be on an NFL roster exactly. I imagine it's unlikely.

273
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: Imagine if there was a guy coming out of the

274
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: draft that everything Richie Incognito did now in the pros,

275
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: that he did that in college, he got kicked off

276
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: his team, he got suspended, and he was a third

277
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: or fourth fifth round prospect. There's no way anyone would

278
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: think about it. Right. If Tebo brings a circus, there's

279
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: no way Incognito is not bringing a circus no matter

280
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: where he ends up. Now you're you're upsetting me a

281
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: little bit because you're mentioning Tim Tebow. I feel like

282
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: the narrative in society we haven't been talking about him.

283
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: You're opening up Pandora's box by getting his name out there.

284
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Nobody cares what I say, Um, but we he's Greg

285
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: and I. This is really the heart of this. Have

286
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: a sandwich bet involved about Richie incognito, whether he returns.

287
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I think I thought he did, he would about three

288
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: months ago. I don't think that anymore. He's not gonna

289
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: play again. You have to wait years and year. You

290
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: don't pay that sandwich does not change hands yet. I've

291
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: heard many people this week say that he's that they

292
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: think he will get back in the league, which seems crazy.

293
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: It does help that society forgets everything that's true. That's

294
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: a really good point we do for you. We've almost

295
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: forgotten that Ted Wells report NFL gum shoot Ted Wells.

296
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: How much nasty stuff was in there. The fact that

297
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: this is even something that's a story today is interesting.

298
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: We can't even remember our sandwich bets from one show

299
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: to the next. Good thing. I barely remember any of

300
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: your names. Um all right. Jared Allen has made a

301
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: second visit to the Seattle Seahawks. There was a report

302
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: floating around on Thursday that a deal was just about done.

303
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: It's not that quite far along. According to Rappaport, this

304
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: is something that Alan is going home and he's gonna

305
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: think about it. But as Gregg you pointed out on

306
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night in the news room, how often do you

307
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: see a player make a second visit to the same

308
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: team during a free agency run? Almost never. You don't

309
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: want to make more than one visit to any team.

310
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: If you're making a second visit, it just means that

311
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: you're not happy with the deals that you're offering. And

312
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: it's even weirder that he made a second visit and

313
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: then didn't sign, so he's not getting the offers he wants.

314
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: His agent and him misread the market. It's been a

315
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: terrible couple of weeks for them, and I would guess

316
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: he's deciding whether he wants to retire or just take

317
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: one of these deals. And I always thought this was

318
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: a bluff with Jared Allen walking into the sunset and

319
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: to me, going back to Seattle after they didn't make

320
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: an offer the first time around, shows again that he

321
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: really does want to play, but he's he's it's almost

322
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: like a guy like asking a girl, actually says no

323
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: and then circling back a week later, He's like you sure,

324
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: Like it's probably not gonna change anything, but there's a

325
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: level of desperation involved, some experience in that industry. Listen,

326
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it, but I could

327
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: tell you it doesn't work. This is where we need

328
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: a the video podcast, which might be coming someday, because

329
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: the look and kind of the motion Dan made as

330
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: he was doing that, it was it was something, um,

331
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: extremely fetching. I'm sure. Um so yeah, I think this

332
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: guy will absolutely be in the NFL next year. The

333
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: only thing is he's gonna west. I know you're big

334
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: on chips on people's shoulders. Uh, there will be a

335
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: chip on a shoulder because it's gonna be some one year,

336
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: five million dollar deal and he will feel like he's

337
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: been disgraced by society for getting paid that much. It's

338
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to sleep on that sum of money

339
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: he's piled up over the years. You can see how

340
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: we have a chip over e shoulder for only getting

341
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: five million correct. Um. Moving forward, Antonio Cromarty UH signed

342
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: a one year deal with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. Um. Obviously,

343
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: the Jets couldn't have been too interested in bringing him back.

344
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: But that's a good signing for the Cardinals, who um,

345
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: if Honey Badger gets healthy, that could be a really

346
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: good secondary and quick from the Jets angle. People have

347
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: obviously been flaming John Zick all week long, and some

348
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: of it rightfully placed. Some of it. You know, we

349
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: don't know really what's going on in Europe, but they

350
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: must have really had almost zero confidence in cremarts recovery

351
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: from the hip injury, or is overall durability to not

352
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: match that offer a guy that's so familiar with that

353
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: defense and a Rex Ryan guy. The good thing about

354
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: being John is that those flames won't reach him until

355
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: next week. And it's not because he moves fast away

356
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: from him glacial speed John. That's going to stick to

357
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: him until he potentially makes a spl signing vic in

358
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: the next even that one to do it. Let me

359
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: just ask you guys, what do you guys think about

360
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinal second day right now? Look, Carmarty had just

361
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: as bad a year playing cornerback as Matt Shop had

362
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: playing quarterback. Everyone likes this move, people bound and I

363
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's crazy for the money. People

364
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: do bounce back, but that's how bad Cromarty was I've

365
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of people ask me on Twitter if

366
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: I believe Hakim Knicks or Darryn mcfann can bounce back,

367
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: why don't I believe Matt shop can. And to me,

368
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: it's all about confidence and maybe a lack of arm strength,

369
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: Like I see it as tangible, whereas with the other

370
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: guys maybe it's maybe you can get it back. But yeah,

371
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: I think Cromarty was playing through a hip injury, so

372
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: maybe he gets He says he did not undergo surgery,

373
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: but it's the same hip he's has surgery on in

374
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: the past. He is now on the wrong side of thirty.

375
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: I think you know there there are questions about it,

376
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: but that's a perfect deal for him at this stage,

377
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: at least from the team standpoint. Yeah, Honey Badger and

378
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: the slot Patrick Peterson on one side. That tells me

379
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: in Tony Camarti is gonna get a lot of balls

380
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: through and we don't know. Honey Badger's reports haven't been glowing.

381
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: In turn, he's he's gonna be ready by the start

382
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: of the season or training camp. But that guy is

383
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: coming off major injury. If he were healthy, This secondary

384
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: is one of the most tantalizing in the league. Crimarti

385
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: a low risk signing. If he can get back to

386
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: what he was two seasons ago, he was impressive, and

387
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: you brought up is Zac and what he could do

388
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: to potentially change this storyline of him being a glacier

389
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: guy trading for Deshan Jackson would do that, and that

390
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: leads us to our next topic. Thank you. De Sean

391
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: Jackson Um. There's been reports that he is that the

392
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles are listening two offers. The Raiders, the Jets,

393
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Niners of all been teams that are

394
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: believed to shown some interest. And Chris Westling you wrote

395
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: a post on Friday for the Around the League page

396
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: about the Carolina Panthers not reaching out to the Eagles,

397
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: but the Eagles perhaps reaching out to them. According to

398
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: the Charlotte Observe, the Eagles reached out and they were

399
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: among the teams that the Eagles reached out too. So

400
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: this team they are now initiating contact, which seems to

401
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: me that it's escalating Jackson's exit from Philadelphia. You know,

402
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: bad front offices these days, in the bold days of

403
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: free agency, tend to lose out to a guy like

404
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: John Elway, a guy like Bill Belichick, some of these

405
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: better teams that they go in and they go for

406
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: the throat. And that's what I think the heart of

407
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: the criticism of Izick is is he's, as they say, deliberate,

408
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: slow moving. He's allowing more experienced guys to come in

409
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: and get the deal done. If he wants to turn

410
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: his reputation around, you gotta get all these guys out

411
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: of the way. Go get to Sean Decker because I

412
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: an actually you you are trying to defend Zick, but

413
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: he has got to go out and change this offense.

414
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: They're an annoying team if they don't do anything else

415
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: than that. Eric, I agree with you. On Wednesday, I

416
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: defended and I still defend because I think some of

417
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: this has been overblown. But the press, the conference call

418
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday morning reinforced anything you could ever think about

419
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: ezec and and the way he operates, the way he

420
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: answers questions, the just the tone of his voice, and

421
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: what he's done to Rex Ryan, who's basically a neutered

422
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: version of his former self. Rex at one point at

423
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Thursday on this conference call said g GOLLI, this is

424
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan. I think it's a like something. It's seriously

425
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan answered some of those questions on Thursday, like

426
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: he had a gun in his rib rib cage. He's like, ah,

427
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: durell vus he signed elsewhere? What can you do behind

428
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: the curtain. He's in quotes pissed at everything that's going on,

429
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: obviously right right he and he even went as far

430
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: as saying he referenced he said, I'm not going to

431
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: use the P word. I'm not going to be a

432
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: smart alc. These are the words he's using. He's now

433
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: talking like a nineteen forties news man. And and he

434
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: was saying that when he gets when he gets mad,

435
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: it's not at John Zac, it's at the layer that

436
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: doesn't sign with his team after visiting and what happened

437
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: to everybody wanting to play with Rex. See, there's there's

438
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: a lot of disconnect with the Jets. So I'm starting

439
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: to get a little nervous. I gotta be honest, Chris.

440
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: After writing this, do you think now that de Sean

441
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Jackson will be traded? Yes? I thought he would already,

442
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: but I thought maybe it was about fifty five or

443
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: sixty percent before, and now I think it's probably last

444
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: night where he basically said that the issue with DeShawn

445
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: it's not the salary, et cetera. It is his fit

446
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: in Chip Kelly's locker room. And I think when that's

447
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: the heart of the matter. Sometimes it's like Kelly does

448
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: not want to go to another season with this guy.

449
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: He's out the door. He's such a good fit on

450
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Do it? Do it? Reggie, just go crazy?

451
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: So Matt shops six five eight yards per attempt on

452
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: play action, can start throwing it downfield to DeShawn. Now,

453
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. And I remember when this

454
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: when this story popped up. This is one of those

455
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: that bunch of Eagles angela, Oh, why is the media

456
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: stirring this up? This is not gonna happen. This is

457
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: one of those media generated stories. When these things happen,

458
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: they don't just happen by accident. It's because the Eagles

459
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: want to dump them. I mean they don't. It just

460
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: doesn't come out of the things from thin air. Oh, reporters,

461
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: it's a media generated story. They'll deny everything on and

462
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: off the record, but they know what they're doing. Another

463
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: thing Eagles fans also said was Jackson's worth at least

464
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick. He's not a million yeahs

465
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: not with a ten million dollar contract? Is not West?

466
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: By the way, a guy that comfortable arm around the shoulder,

467
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: I can in Huckaboos a lot of that, right, like, uh,

468
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: we're in the bar together, great softball game. Yes, there

469
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: is a lot of arms around shoulders in Huckoo. It's

470
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: a lot of everything in Huckapoo. Maybe Mark needs to

471
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: go there for you know, shoulder treatment or whatever, you know,

472
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: just to get used to again. It was because it

473
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: felt a little flip. It wasn't a sincere yes, because

474
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: many times hugged women, men, whatever it may be, in

475
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: various scenarios, and it's why don't you trust me? I've

476
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: hugged you before you are my friend, and I hugged you.

477
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: I hugged you after we hugged We ended our moving

478
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: session with you because you were so pleased with the

479
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: job that West and I had done. West and says movers.

480
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: It just turned it into a commercial. You guys did

481
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: do a great job. Oh can you help me out

482
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: again this weekend problem? Oh great, you guys are great.

483
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: I like that. I'm totally out of this well. Well

484
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: on two levels moving obviously, but also you definitely don't

485
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: want to be touched. Not a touch guy, Greg. I

486
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't think I was against that. I don't know. I'm fine.

487
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: Interesting A bit of a Prickly Pete? Um, alright, wasn't

488
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: that a famous racehorse or a famous cartoon racehorse? And

489
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe a long long time ago Prickly Pete. It sounds

490
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: like a sign cartoon days it was like a sound

491
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's there's some famous movie or TV

492
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: show where Prickly Pete was involved as a racehorse. Is

493
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: this a silent picture? I don't know. George Castanza is

494
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: coming to my mind or someone someone of that ilk

495
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: before we bring Lance Briggs in here. Uh, one last

496
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: topic to get to and running backs don't really seem

497
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: to get any respect in the NFL anymore, whether it's

498
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: the draft or in free agency. But there are some

499
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: pretty big names out there. Um, so what do you

500
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: guys think about playing some running back roulette like it? Uh?

501
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: Gold Center? Can you put in any type of sound effects?

502
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: Maybe like a roulette wheel spinning, some chatter, or maybe

503
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: like a gun going off. That's a little dark. Maybe

504
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: we feel away from gambling illusions backfield bacarrot. That's good

505
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: to backfield back rot. Uh So, I'm gonna go around

506
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the room, gentlemen, I'm gonna throw a name out there,

507
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: a little background or where he's at right now, the

508
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: particular player, and see what you guys think about. And

509
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: we'll start with Maurice Jones Drew, former Jaguars star two

510
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: thousand eleven NFL rushing champion. He is turning twenty nine

511
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: years old. On Sunday, he had a visit with the Steelers.

512
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: Apparently is looking for uh three and a half million.

513
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: I've seen reported on a deal which might be hard

514
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: to get. I will start with you, the mad scientists,

515
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: the mailman, Chris Westling, m j D. You're buying. He's

516
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: on my he was on my pre free agency list

517
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: of potential bargains. I like him to have a bounce

518
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: back here. I don't like to fit with the Steelers

519
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: for two reasons. Steelers have enough cap problems that they

520
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't be paying three point five million for a running back.

521
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Second reason, Levy on Bell is a three down back

522
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 1: about to hit his prime. They need a backup. And

523
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't picture Jones Drew as a guy willing to

524
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: accept that role. Let's throw him in Miami. Let the

525
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: carry's there with one of those younger guys. Maybe Lamar Miller.

526
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: He can help out the young group. He can take

527
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: their downs and be competent. They need some veterans on

528
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: that offense. I like that as a better fit than

529
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers. If his foot is healthy and he's in shape,

530
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: I still think that guy could have a year or

531
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: two left in him. Maybe. I don't think that's outrageous.

532
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: I could hug you right now, Mark, right back at you,

533
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: all right? Speaking of Mark, like hugging Buddy's getting weird?

534
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: Um No, Sean, Yeah, very long time ago, No, Sean Moreno,

535
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: he was. He's had a nice season with the Broncos

536
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: last year. He's turning twenty seven in July, reportedly meeting

537
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: with the Miami Dolphins on Friday. What do you think

538
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: about this one, Mark, No, Sean Moreno, Well, I think,

539
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: as we just said, that Dolphins are one of the

540
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: teams that I think is a real Kennedy to ask

541
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: to add a some help back there. I think Lamar

542
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: Miller is definitely still in the plans. Daniel Thomas on

543
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: an inspiring sort of a plotter never average more than

544
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: I think three point seven yards for carrying his entire career.

545
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: Marino's just twenty six. I think we saw what he

546
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: could do last year, although those numbers a bit inflated

547
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: in that offense where you've just got to be paying

548
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: attention to Peyton Manning all day long. They brought him in,

549
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: they must, they must like him to some degree. The

550
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: one thing though, the Dolphins to me with Dennis Hickey

551
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: came from the Bucks and he was part of the

552
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: front office that fell in love with Doug Martin. And

553
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: there's a guy like Carlos Hide sitting out there that

554
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: has dimensions and play style similar to Martin. There's been

555
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: some reports that Hickey may the Hickster, maybe targeting someone

556
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: to outright replace Thomas and go with a Carlos Hide.

557
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: So maybe Marino is a backup plan. I like Marino

558
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: or someone else going to the Dolphins, though, let's put

559
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: a let's put a Marino back in Denver. That's where

560
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: he lay basically said yesterday, we absolutely need to gett

561
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: Are in the running game. Isn't that a full on

562
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: indictment of I read it as an indictment effective role

563
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: at the very worst, is can't he make their team

564
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: better as a as a good role player? Had yards

565
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: from script? The difficulty with that situation is, how do

566
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: you bring no Sean Marino back and after racking up

567
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards make him your third down back and

568
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: give the job to Monty Ball better than league? Who's

569
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: who's Monty Ball's backup right now? Annie Hellman, Yeah, that

570
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: draft pick went out fumbles McGee. I like that name,

571
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: west Lamar Miller. We're talking about the Dolphins. I know

572
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: you were on on his train for a while last year.

573
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: Are you out on like Lamar Miller? But it's clear

574
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins coaching staff does not moving on, and

575
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: they see him every day. Yeah, that's fair. Moving on

576
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: this gentleman. Le Garrett Blount blunt blunt blunt blunt instrument.

577
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: Twenty seven years old. He UH is set to visit,

578
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: reportedly with the Steelers on Sunday. A very strange player

579
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: to figure out, because he was barely it seemed like

580
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: he was barely in the league this time last year,

581
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: and then he became the greatest running back in the

582
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: history of football. For a stretch UH this past winter

583
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: in December and January, including an insane playoff game where

584
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: he rushed for four touchdowns in seven thousand yards something

585
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: like that. Um, but he's also La Garrett Blunt. That

586
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about the same guy. Greg Rosenthal,

587
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: you are the resident Patriots fan. I ask you, what

588
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: are we to make of La Garrett Blunt? La Garrett Blunt,

589
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: Big Garrett Blunt. Pittsburgh makes sense sense for him. I

590
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: like that as a clear backup hammer. He's just kind

591
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: of it kind of fits with the whole They want

592
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: guys that you know at the goal line, tough guys

593
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: coming in. But I think an even better spot would

594
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: be the New York Giants. These free agent running backs

595
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: are so cheap right now, you can just sign a

596
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: bunch of them. In newsflash, were Shot Jennings and Peyton

597
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: Hillis is a terrible backfield. Add another guy. Let's do it.

598
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: It's not it's not gonna cost you, not gonna cost

599
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: you a million dollars. Bling it. Bring it Blunt and

600
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: see what happens If this was nineteen seventy two, like

601
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: Blunt would have five million dollars? Would I like Blunt

602
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: to the Giants at Harkins Back to my youth where

603
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: all the dirt bags in my school were wearing Rodney

604
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: Hampton Jersey's. I feel like he is in built in

605
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: that mold. I think he might even have the same

606
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna go Ron Dane Ron Day. Well, no, he's

607
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: better than Ron Day. And I think Jared Bunch, Jared's bunch,

608
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Jared Jared Bunch. Why is that not? I think he

609
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: played for Michigan, A big power guy, right, big shoulder

611
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: this room. No, he played for the Giants. Oh okay,

612
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: so I don't even remember that. But Rodney Hampton was

613
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: a guy that he was the prototypical early nineties Giants player.

614
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: Blood exactly a thousand yards. I think Blunt is going

615
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: back to New England. They're letting him test the markt

616
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: the same way they did with Edelman, and he fits

617
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: best to New England. And he knows that he's going

618
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: back to the page. Maybe the Giant should listen up

619
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: and take this Patriots approach. If you don't have some

620
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, great Lashawn mccoyit they player just have four guys,

621
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: use them, all right, You'll use the blood makes sense

622
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: as a guy you don't use all year because when

623
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: the weather is nice, you're passing all the time. But

624
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: once the weather gets nasty, then you saddle him up

625
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: for thirty carries. When your defensive legs, your wide receivers

626
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: are out, your tight ends are gone. Saddle up blunt,

627
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: fresh legs. Hon opportunities, headline opportunities for the writers. Jam

628
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: should listen to us more. If they just listen to

629
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: the podcast and took notes, that's a good gold center.

630
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: Can you start transcribing entire podcast and then sending it

631
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: to the thirty two teams. I'm already doing that. He's

632
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: not read. I should some the gms entering into tailspin

633
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: mode probably have been listening to us, all right, last

634
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: one before we get to Lance Briggs, and I'll kind

635
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: of throw this one to the floor. Chris Johnson, Tennessee

636
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: Titans running back form a two thousand yard rushier turning

637
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: people kind of forget. He's starting to get older now

638
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: he's turning twenty nine. In September um, there was a

639
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: report out there that there was quote real interest from

640
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: multiple teams in a trade, but we haven't really gotten

641
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: any evidence that that's actually true. Chris Johnson, You guys

642
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: buying or selling. Wesley absolutely, it's all ridiculous. Cares Wesley

643
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: absolutely into this argument because c J one point one

644
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: k bang follow Jerry Jones on Twitter, it's all over

645
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: gold Sander missed a perfect opportunity for a Bunsen burner

646
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: blowtorch there way one. Yeah, just just road in there,

647
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: give us like three in a row because Cessler just

648
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: lit the man on fire. Well, I didn't. I didn't

649
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: know that I was gonna sell Mark so hard on

650
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: my tanguous Twitter connection between Chris Johnson and Jerry that

651
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: it did seem like more than a coincidence. Right as

652
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: he hits free agency, or right when free agency starts

653
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: and talk of him being released or traded, he starts

654
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: following jeary, I could I could really see Chris Johnson

655
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: being a deeply disappointing player for the Dallas Cowboys. Doesn't

656
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: he seem like a cowboy? By the way, a week ago,

657
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: Dexter mccluster followed the Cleveland Browns on Twitter, then unfollowed

658
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: them and signed with the Titans. So you know, these

659
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: guys are throwing some they're throwing somes lost his confidence

660
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: Now he's like anytime Sessler talks. I'll just do it. Greg.

661
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, uh, you know, if we're not gonna throw

662
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: him in the Cowboys, how about another you know, malcontent,

663
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: miscreant over to the Raiders, Red Mackenzie, just the isle

664
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: of misfit toys like John Gruden used to do in Tampa.

665
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: Every guy that no one wants, bring him the Oakland.

666
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: I like that, good good call. Alright up next we

00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: where this guy is the top of his game, and

Speaker 1: Could you're dressed for television not a pot? What do

705
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: you think about hosting a podcast? Maybe the Briggs Podcasts platform?

706
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: Is this what is required to Yeah, the street continues.

707
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: Every guest we've ever had on the podcast outdresses us

708
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: by about four. You've done it in a nice brown suit,

709
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: brown tie, nice design, their white shirt. A lot of

710
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: Bears have been coming through NFL Network I've noticed lately.

711
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, Jeffrey Devin, Devin Hester, your your ex teammate. Well,

712
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,240

713
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: if they're out there, um, you can't think of any

714
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: better weather. That's true. Uh. Speaking of Brandon Marshall, when

715
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: he was in here a couple of months ago, we

716
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: were talking about his season. He was happy with how

717
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: his season went, but he also was a little banged

718
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: up and he was all about getting um ready at

719
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: a level where he would have his best season ever.

720
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: He said he wanted to have the thriller of NFL seasons,

721
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: in reference to the great Michael Jackson album from three.

722
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: I ask you, Lance Briggs, if you were to have

723
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: a great season next year, what album would it be?

724
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: If I wanted to have a great season, how would

725
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: you describe he was saying his season next season it

726
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: was it was an album. It would be thriller. It

727
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: would just be a game, million albums sold, you know,

728
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: conquers the world. Shoot you, guys, I don't know. That's

729
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: it's a hard question. But alright, right without even hearing

730
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: anything about it going into it, might would be the

731
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: Phil Collins solo album. You're right, it is tough right

732
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: off the top. Maybe like an early career tribe called

733
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: Quest album. How about that? You know people like it.

734
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: It's not gonna blow the world on fire, but it's

735
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: a crowd please there good reviews. I'd go act hung

736
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: Baby by you two where you kind of revolutionize yourself.

737
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: You you change the game up. People look at you

738
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: one way. You come out and you look totally different.

739
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: Lance breaks could do that twelve years in. Maybe change

740
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: the topic and I see vehicle another Irish person. Let's

741
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: say let's shift away from the album thing for a minute. Here.

742
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: Let's let's put you and all your Chicago Bears teammates

743
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: into a harsh wilderness environment and it is a Hunger

744
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: Games type scenario. You're unleashed for months and months. One

745
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: winner take all? Which one on your roster wins that past?

746
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: Whoa okay? Did not? No hesitation? That came quick? Now

747
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: what let's say you were attributes? Why would you win?

748
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm a survivals I'm gonna survive. Who would come in second?

749
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: You're saying, well, here's the here's the way this is

750
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna work. Though, you know, I'm kind of like, uh

751
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: is a catanis Everden? Kind of like that, you know

752
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: where where I want to survive, but I don't want

753
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: to be the only person that survives, you know, Like, well,

754
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we're gonna build alliances and and

755
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: at the very end, you know they're gonna have to

756
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: make a decision on having to kill us rather than

757
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: us have to kill each other. I like that. Now,

758
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: let's say you were to look around the room at

759
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Greg and Dan and myself. You guys, Let's say let's

760
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: say the three of us were thrown into the same scenario.

761
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Who would you pick to win that kind of just

762
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: us three? Yeah, and and all they put in there.

763
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: It was like a number two pencil. Um, you know,

764
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: that's a flippit of coin. That's a flippit of coin

765
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: because you know, where I think that you're gonna have

766
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: the bron You're gonna be faster, you know, and and

767
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: you never know if if we're talking about a wilderness area,

768
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be quick on your feet. There's

769
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: a lot more than just brawn involved. It's it could

770
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: be weeks and months indoor, true, and what if they

771
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: what if they don't bring food for a long time?

772
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: You know that could that could come into play. I'm

773
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: taking a number two pencils somehow. Hey, I just was

774
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: curious that you were played with a double harness at

775
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: the end of last season on your on your left shoulder. Um,

776
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna go with a single harness. What is the difference?

777
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: And is that something is your shoulders? Is it at

778
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: a state now where it's just not gonna ever be

779
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: fully healthy? You need that kind of support. How how

780
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: good do you feel physically right now? You know? I

781
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: mean I was coming off from an injury where my

782
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, ligament wise, if if um, anytime in those

783
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: last two games, if I would have fallen the wrong

784
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: way or got hit the wrong way, you know, I

785
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: could have set myself back, you know, over a year.

786
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: So um, it was important for me to protect that

787
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: as much as possible for those two games. And if

788
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: I needed to wear two harnesses, then that's what I

789
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: needed to do, you know. And uh and I wanted

790
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: little or no movement from my arm at all. That

791
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: one of those things if you're making a tackle that

792
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: every time you're making a tackle, it's painful. Uh. No,

793
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: it worked out fine because of the restriction, the way

794
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: I was restricted, you know, I could only tackle a

795
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: certain way. You know. I was kind of like this

796
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: land to reach out, man, use my right arm. But

797
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: now you know, I'm I'm at the point now where

798
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get strength back, you know, and

799
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: trying to get confidence back in my shoulder, throwing out

800
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: the shoulder. Just assuming you're fully healthy and you're at

801
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: the peak of your career anytime, who is the guy

802
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: that you hated to tackle the most? Is there a

803
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: guy out there that's the toughest to tackle? Bring down. Uh,

804
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: there's nobody that I hate to tackle. I love it

805
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: when I tackle somebody because it means that plays over.

806
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: But you know, Percy Harvin was one of the guys

807
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: that was She's a real pain, but prayer for because

808
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: they can line up in the backfield and run the

809
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: ball better than most tailbacks can run the ball. You know,

810
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: you put him in the slot and he's gonna he's

811
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: gonna burn you that way and put him out. I'm

812
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna bring you that way. Um there, I can get

813
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: you on the reverse. He was just a dynamic player

814
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: or he is a dynamic player. And uh, and I'm

815
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: glad he's not in our division anymore. Is there? Are

816
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: there one of those guys that you just love to

817
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: tackle that you looked forward when he was on the schedule,

818
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: whether it's a quarterback or running back, anyone, you just

819
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: so I can't wait to hit him. Well, I mean,

820
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: I love hitting everybody, but you know, some guys you

821
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: don't get your hands on, you know, as often as others.

822
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: So a guy like Aaron Rodgers, when you do get

823
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: a sack on him or anything like that, that's big.

824
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: And and the when when guys take the action photos

825
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: of that basement, you know is there? Uh you know,

826

Speaker 1: with with your career at the stage where you're looking

827
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: towards the future and stuff. If you had a chance

839
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: so what was the uh Brian Dawkins. You know, I

840

Speaker 1: got a chance to play in some Pro Bowls with

841
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: him and just being in the huddle with him, you know,

842
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: and I could feel his intensity as a guy's real leader.

843
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: You know. I would have loved to play with him,

848
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, you just brought up one Hall of Famer

849
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: and one future Hall of Famer before you go. Do

850
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: you see yourself as a future Hall of Famer and

851
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: you think you've put up that type of production? You know?

852
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know, I know I'm I'm a

853
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer in my mom's heart, in the in

854
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: the person that it matters the most. Absolutely, I think

855
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: Bears fans would put you there. I mean, how many

856
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: guys have that kind of longevity. I know Bryan her

857
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: Locker of course did alongside with you for so long,

858
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: but it's pretty rare to see someone with the same

859
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: team for that long. And now do you feel kind

860
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: of you're the standard bearer of this Bears defense coming

861
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: off coming off not as good a year as you

862
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: guys are used to as a defense? Uh? Do you

863
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: feel kind of you're the guy now that you know

864
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: you and Charles Tillman that you're the guys that stand

865
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: for the Bears defense? Uh? I mean we you know,

866
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: I think we're we're definitely two of the guys that

867
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: that that epitomized. You know what, um what what you

868
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: expect that of? You know, the Bears defense. But I

869
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: think all represent it, you know, whether it's good or bad,

870
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: we all represent it. And and that's kind to be

871
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: our focus to get it back to what it's supposed

872
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: to be, you know, in this season. Lance Briggs, thank
