Cynthia Freelan 9 00:00:22,628 --> 00:00:24,868 Speaker 1: in you see her all over NFL Network with her 10 00:00:25,068 --> 00:00:27,708 Speaker 1: data analytics or expert here on NFL Network.

Everybody on 17 00:00:58,668 --> 00:01:02,628 Speaker 1: a Thursday. Cynthia, Jane, Jamie, Kelsey Conway in New York. 18 00:01:03,268 --> 00:01:05,988 Speaker 1: I have to ask just to in case something happens 19 00:01:06,268 --> 00:01:10,028 Speaker 1: Jane and Kelsey, what if Michael Parsons or Trey Hendrickson 20 00:01:10,108 --> 00:01:12,108 Speaker 1: signs something like how are we dealing with the fact 21 00:01:12,108 --> 00:01:14,388 Speaker 1: that you two are on GMFB. Kelsey'll ask you first, 22 00:01:14,548 --> 00:01:17,188 Speaker 1: how are you tracking anything? Because you two have some 23 00:01:17,308 --> 00:01:18,668 Speaker 1: contracts that you're trying to track. 24 00:01:20,828 --> 00:01:21,068 Speaker 4: Well. 25 00:01:21,188 --> 00:01:25,228 Speaker 5: I think Trey's better get done before Micah's or that 26 00:01:25,268 --> 00:01:28,108 Speaker 5: will reset the market once again. And that's already happened 27 00:01:28,148 --> 00:01:31,068 Speaker 5: to the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson when Miles Garrett sent that. 28 00:01:31,268 --> 00:01:33,908 Speaker 5: But I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. 29 00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:36,548 Speaker 5: I think training camp is when it's gonna happen. So 30 00:01:36,628 --> 00:01:39,428 Speaker 5: I think it might run up similar to the timeline 31 00:01:39,468 --> 00:01:41,628 Speaker 5: of Michael Parsons, but Jane would know more about that one. 32 00:01:41,788 --> 00:01:43,268 Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like you and I are back and forth. 33 00:01:43,308 --> 00:01:46,548 Speaker 7: It's not the Cowboys way to get one done early, guys, 34 00:01:46,908 --> 00:01:49,148 Speaker 7: although they have been making some off season moves that 35 00:01:49,188 --> 00:01:52,548 Speaker 7: have shocked me. But Micah will be at mini camp 36 00:01:52,548 --> 00:01:54,348 Speaker 7: next week. He doesn't miss the ones that he's got 37 00:01:54,388 --> 00:01:56,588 Speaker 7: to be at. He just celebrated his birthday in Europe. 38 00:01:56,708 --> 00:01:56,988 Speaker 3: Oh go. 39 00:01:57,268 --> 00:01:59,868 Speaker 7: So I feel comfortable that this thing's not getting done 40 00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:01,668 Speaker 7: at least anytime soon. 41 00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:02,428 Speaker 6: But it will get done. 42 00:02:02,508 --> 00:02:04,868 Speaker 1: So we can take the hour on GMF, then some 43 00:02:04,948 --> 00:02:08,548 Speaker 1: other things. Okay, throw down Thursday. It's happening right now. 44 00:02:08,868 --> 00:02:11,308 Speaker 1: We start with little fighting robots. I will give you 45 00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:13,508 Speaker 1: two topics and you have to make a decision. There 46 00:02:13,548 --> 00:02:15,228 Speaker 1: is no I don't know. I'm going to pick both. 47 00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:17,228 Speaker 1: It's not allowed. On the throwdown Thursday, We'll start with 48 00:02:17,268 --> 00:02:20,628 Speaker 1: two of the best divisions in the league. What is 49 00:02:20,748 --> 00:02:24,108 Speaker 1: more competitive? Which one of these divisions is more competitive? 50 00:02:24,228 --> 00:02:27,508 Speaker 1: Is it the AFC North or Kelsey? Is it the 51 00:02:27,668 --> 00:02:28,708 Speaker 1: NFC East. 52 00:02:29,148 --> 00:02:29,828 Speaker 6: It's tough one. 53 00:02:30,628 --> 00:02:32,388 Speaker 5: Well, I really wish you would have given us the 54 00:02:32,388 --> 00:02:35,188 Speaker 5: option to pick both, because this is such a tricky 55 00:02:35,348 --> 00:02:38,108 Speaker 5: question and it wouldn't have been that part of a 56 00:02:38,188 --> 00:02:41,148 Speaker 5: question maybe two years ago. But I absolutely love what 57 00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:45,028 Speaker 5: dan Quinn has done with the commanders in Washington. He 58 00:02:45,108 --> 00:02:46,948 Speaker 5: did such a great job in his first year, and 59 00:02:46,988 --> 00:02:49,948 Speaker 5: that's what made this so challenging, because there now really 60 00:02:50,068 --> 00:02:53,308 Speaker 5: is three teams in the NFC East that can all 61 00:02:53,348 --> 00:02:55,988 Speaker 5: contend to win that. And then in the AFC North, 62 00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:59,548 Speaker 5: having covered it now for four seasons, that division, in 63 00:02:59,548 --> 00:03:02,428 Speaker 5: my opinion, is the best in the AFC. But the 64 00:03:02,468 --> 00:03:04,748 Speaker 5: reason I'm going to go with the AFC North is 65 00:03:04,908 --> 00:03:07,828 Speaker 5: just because you know what you're going to get out 66 00:03:07,868 --> 00:03:11,108 Speaker 5: of the Ravens. You know that with Burrow the Bengals 67 00:03:11,108 --> 00:03:13,228 Speaker 5: are going to be and at least in contention, and 68 00:03:13,268 --> 00:03:16,028 Speaker 5: then Pittsburgh, even if they have Aaron Rodgers or not. 69 00:03:16,508 --> 00:03:20,268 Speaker 5: Mike Tomlincks's success speaks for itself, so you know Pittsburgh's 70 00:03:20,308 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 5: going to be in the conversation. Cleveland's the only outlier. 71 00:03:23,508 --> 00:03:24,708 Speaker 2: But in the last five. 72 00:03:24,588 --> 00:03:28,268 Speaker 5: Years, twelve AFC North teams have made the playoffs and 73 00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:31,748 Speaker 5: there's only ten NFC East teams. So I think I 74 00:03:31,868 --> 00:03:34,428 Speaker 5: chose the AFC North more so because I'm not sure 75 00:03:34,468 --> 00:03:37,108 Speaker 5: what to expect out of Dallas in New York, but 76 00:03:37,188 --> 00:03:38,868 Speaker 5: I at least know what I'm going to get out 77 00:03:38,908 --> 00:03:41,268 Speaker 5: of Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland. 78 00:03:42,148 --> 00:03:42,988 Speaker 6: See, I'm with you. 79 00:03:43,068 --> 00:03:45,148 Speaker 7: It's tough when you look at that specifically. I think 80 00:03:45,148 --> 00:03:47,748 Speaker 7: when you look at the AFC, northy focus on the quarterbacks. 81 00:03:47,908 --> 00:03:49,668 Speaker 7: For me, yes, I think there's a focus on the 82 00:03:49,748 --> 00:03:50,308 Speaker 7: quarterbacks in. 83 00:03:50,308 --> 00:03:51,348 Speaker 6: The NFC East. 84 00:03:51,748 --> 00:03:53,788 Speaker 7: But I think more importantly it's some of the pieces 85 00:03:53,788 --> 00:03:55,348 Speaker 7: that they started adding. I mean, when you look at 86 00:03:55,388 --> 00:03:59,308 Speaker 7: the Washington Commanders adding Deebo Samuel already, you got Terry McLaurin, 87 00:03:59,628 --> 00:04:02,828 Speaker 7: You've got Jayden Daniels there, than when I go to 88 00:04:03,108 --> 00:04:07,708 Speaker 7: the Giants upgraded at quarterback with Jackson Dhart, They've got 89 00:04:07,788 --> 00:04:11,908 Speaker 7: Cam Scattibo. When I go to the Eagles, Barkley is 90 00:04:11,948 --> 00:04:14,628 Speaker 7: just going to I think, build on what he had 91 00:04:14,708 --> 00:04:17,508 Speaker 7: last season. You've got a new OC there. And then 92 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:22,308 Speaker 7: in Dallas, listen, when Dak is healthy, the Cowboys find 93 00:04:22,388 --> 00:04:24,948 Speaker 7: ways to win. Last year, they of course didn't have him, 94 00:04:24,948 --> 00:04:28,428 Speaker 7: but I think more importantly getting George Pickens to help 95 00:04:28,468 --> 00:04:31,788 Speaker 7: Ceedee Lamb and then them actually giving some attention to. 96 00:04:31,748 --> 00:04:33,268 Speaker 6: The running back room going and. 97 00:04:33,228 --> 00:04:36,988 Speaker 7: Getting a guy like Javonte Williams and Jaden Blue. I 98 00:04:37,028 --> 00:04:39,348 Speaker 7: think that's what makes this division. 99 00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:40,148 Speaker 1: Intriguing right now. 100 00:04:40,388 --> 00:04:43,108 Speaker 7: And when we talk about competitiveness, I'm looking at the 101 00:04:43,148 --> 00:04:46,108 Speaker 7: fact that in the last two decades you haven't had 102 00:04:46,148 --> 00:04:49,908 Speaker 7: a repeat team win the division, and so O prosessed 103 00:04:49,948 --> 00:04:50,468 Speaker 7: with that stuff. 104 00:04:50,628 --> 00:04:53,788 Speaker 6: And when you looked at the NFC East two years ago, 105 00:04:53,948 --> 00:04:54,868 Speaker 6: they truly were. 106 00:04:54,708 --> 00:04:57,468 Speaker 7: The least last season they felt the season four that 107 00:04:57,468 --> 00:04:59,708 Speaker 7: felt more like a beast. So for me, I think 108 00:04:59,748 --> 00:05:02,588 Speaker 7: the NFC East obviously I cover it more, you know, Kelsey, 109 00:05:02,588 --> 00:05:05,748 Speaker 7: that's my division. But I think this year in particular, 110 00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:07,748 Speaker 7: there's a lot of question marks and I think there's 111 00:05:07,748 --> 00:05:09,948 Speaker 7: a lot of room to see where some of these 112 00:05:09,988 --> 00:05:10,828 Speaker 7: teams are going to move. 113 00:05:10,948 --> 00:05:12,228 Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of took. 114 00:05:12,028 --> 00:05:14,268 Speaker 8: This in a different direction because I think that's just 115 00:05:14,308 --> 00:05:16,908 Speaker 8: what I do. But I'm looking at the opportunity to 116 00:05:16,948 --> 00:05:19,468 Speaker 8: win games and the schedule, and I would just like 117 00:05:19,508 --> 00:05:21,988 Speaker 8: to point out that the NFC East they face all 118 00:05:22,028 --> 00:05:25,388 Speaker 8: of the NFC West and all of the AFC West 119 00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,748 Speaker 8: primetime games too. Yeah, but just by virtue of the 120 00:05:28,788 --> 00:05:31,108 Speaker 8: fact that to me, they have much harder schedules. 121 00:05:31,268 --> 00:05:32,948 Speaker 1: You are what your record says you are. 122 00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:35,988 Speaker 8: The NFC North they had they get to play them 123 00:05:36,028 --> 00:05:36,308 Speaker 8: as well. 124 00:05:36,468 --> 00:05:39,268 Speaker 1: These are some problems. There's the problems there. 125 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:41,028 Speaker 8: So when you look at the potential, I mean, I 126 00:05:41,028 --> 00:05:42,988 Speaker 8: look at the Giant schedule and I'm like, this is 127 00:05:43,388 --> 00:05:45,868 Speaker 8: for a fourth place team. This is disgusting. It's so 128 00:05:46,028 --> 00:05:48,108 Speaker 8: hard the schedule. And of course I love what the 129 00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,228 Speaker 8: Eagles are doing. You got to respect love what the 130 00:05:50,228 --> 00:05:52,668 Speaker 8: Commanders are doing. But I'm very confused about the other two. 131 00:05:52,948 --> 00:05:55,108 Speaker 1: I always look at when we try we try to 132 00:05:55,148 --> 00:05:58,428 Speaker 1: define a division as a whole. It's easy to go 133 00:05:58,508 --> 00:06:00,228 Speaker 1: to the top and try to just be like, oh, 134 00:06:00,268 --> 00:06:01,588 Speaker 1: the top is going to raise the cream of the 135 00:06:01,628 --> 00:06:04,668 Speaker 1: crop whatever. I actually look at the basement and who 136 00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:07,868 Speaker 1: is the lesser team at the bottom. And for whatever 137 00:06:07,948 --> 00:06:10,588 Speaker 1: is going on with the Giants. I am a Brian 138 00:06:10,668 --> 00:06:12,748 Speaker 1: Dabele fan. I like Joshan, and I think what the 139 00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:16,068 Speaker 1: Giants have done this offseason has actually raised them higher 140 00:06:16,068 --> 00:06:18,868 Speaker 1: than the Cleveland Browns because I still don't besides Miles Garrett, 141 00:06:18,988 --> 00:06:21,668 Speaker 1: I still don't understand how to define the Browns and 142 00:06:21,708 --> 00:06:23,708 Speaker 1: like the direction that they're going in, So I think 143 00:06:23,748 --> 00:06:25,388 Speaker 1: I will go with the NFC East and this, well, 144 00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:27,228 Speaker 1: us you got the raigning Super Bowl champ what are 145 00:06:27,228 --> 00:06:27,628 Speaker 1: you gonna do? 146 00:06:27,668 --> 00:06:29,948 Speaker 6: And I also wonder with Brian Dabele too. I feel 147 00:06:29,948 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 6: like this is a bit of approve it year totally. 148 00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:34,468 Speaker 6: It's you know, he's got to really step up this year. 149 00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:36,908 Speaker 7: The fact that he's got Russell Wilson there, he's got 150 00:06:36,988 --> 00:06:38,588 Speaker 7: Jameis Winston, he's got Jackson Darius. 151 00:06:38,588 --> 00:06:39,788 Speaker 1: Seems like they're throwing. 152 00:06:39,548 --> 00:06:42,428 Speaker 7: Everything at the board, the cold kitchen stink to see 153 00:06:42,468 --> 00:06:43,668 Speaker 7: if they can make this thing work. 154 00:06:43,748 --> 00:06:44,908 Speaker 6: With the Giants, I just. 155 00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:46,908 Speaker 8: Like to point out, though, look at their schedule and 156 00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:48,828 Speaker 8: look at the fact that they have exactly two home 157 00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:52,348 Speaker 8: games from the middle of October to the middle of December, 158 00:06:52,388 --> 00:06:54,788 Speaker 8: and one of them happens to be the Niners. 159 00:06:54,828 --> 00:06:56,948 Speaker 1: And the other one happens to be the Eagle. It's 160 00:06:56,948 --> 00:06:58,428 Speaker 1: just a terrible schedule. 161 00:06:58,548 --> 00:07:01,628 Speaker 8: Chiefs in the beginning to sem it's nothing. I love 162 00:07:01,708 --> 00:07:03,588 Speaker 8: day Ball, I love what they're like, all of that stuff. 163 00:07:03,628 --> 00:07:05,508 Speaker 6: It's just a really hard schedule. I didn't sit here 164 00:07:05,548 --> 00:07:07,028 Speaker 6: and say they were going to be competitive. 165 00:07:08,908 --> 00:07:13,308 Speaker 7: Let's make sure what I'm just saying. I think this 166 00:07:13,348 --> 00:07:17,228 Speaker 7: could be a very competitive division within it within itself. 167 00:07:17,308 --> 00:07:20,468 Speaker 1: All right. Second topic on Throwdown Thursday, Browns defensive coordinator 168 00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:24,748 Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz knows how competitive offenses are in the AFC North. 169 00:07:24,908 --> 00:07:27,108 Speaker 1: He's just thankful he's got Miles Garrett in his back 170 00:07:27,148 --> 00:07:29,588 Speaker 1: pocket and thinks his best is still yet to come. 171 00:07:31,468 --> 00:07:31,668 Speaker 9: Yeah. 172 00:07:32,148 --> 00:07:33,828 Speaker 10: I really think Miles is going to have the best 173 00:07:33,868 --> 00:07:38,108 Speaker 10: season of his career and has to write you know, 174 00:07:38,188 --> 00:07:42,468 Speaker 10: I mean with you know, I've told him before. You know, 175 00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:48,868 Speaker 10: what's that Spider Man quote, With great power comes great responsibility, right, 176 00:07:48,908 --> 00:07:51,708 Speaker 10: you know, and that's with with the with the big contract, 177 00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:55,228 Speaker 10: with the notoriety that came along with that, and you 178 00:07:55,268 --> 00:07:59,068 Speaker 10: know what, the process that took to get him to 179 00:07:59,108 --> 00:08:01,908 Speaker 10: get him to that point, there also comes you know, 180 00:08:02,828 --> 00:08:05,028 Speaker 10: you know, let's I mean, there's there's a always pressure 181 00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:07,228 Speaker 10: in this league, but probably a little bit more so. 182 00:08:07,268 --> 00:08:09,788 Speaker 10: And I think that that brings out the best employers, 183 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:14,628 Speaker 10: and I know that'll be the case with Miles not for. 184 00:08:14,668 --> 00:08:17,508 Speaker 1: Nothing, Jim for it's fully unbothered by the construction, deeping 185 00:08:17,588 --> 00:08:20,508 Speaker 1: the background and answering the question about Miles Garrett. If 186 00:08:20,508 --> 00:08:22,268 Speaker 1: you have that guy in your team, you are better 187 00:08:22,308 --> 00:08:24,348 Speaker 1: for it. Here's the question, dough for throw it on Thursday. 188 00:08:24,508 --> 00:08:26,828 Speaker 1: If you are going to start your own team, who 189 00:08:26,868 --> 00:08:30,788 Speaker 1: would you do it with? Miles Garrett or literally anyone 190 00:08:30,788 --> 00:08:33,948 Speaker 1: else in the field of defensive lineman Kelsey? Where would 191 00:08:33,948 --> 00:08:35,308 Speaker 1: you go put your GM hat on? 192 00:08:36,788 --> 00:08:40,028 Speaker 5: He is absolutely my pick. I'm going with Miles Garrett 193 00:08:40,068 --> 00:08:40,988 Speaker 5: above anyone. 194 00:08:41,348 --> 00:08:43,508 Speaker 1: And there was a play last year. 195 00:08:43,508 --> 00:08:45,988 Speaker 5: The Bengals open the season in Cleveland and Jamie, I 196 00:08:45,988 --> 00:08:47,708 Speaker 5: want to see what you think about this euro step 197 00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:49,388 Speaker 5: here with your basketball background. 198 00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:52,548 Speaker 1: This is before he sacks Burrow. 199 00:08:52,748 --> 00:08:54,828 Speaker 5: And it was one of those moments that you're sitting 200 00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,748 Speaker 5: watching being like this guy is just toying with them, 201 00:08:57,788 --> 00:09:00,988 Speaker 5: Like he's unbelievable. They can move him all over the 202 00:09:01,028 --> 00:09:04,908 Speaker 5: defensive line. He can do anything. And so that's why 203 00:09:04,988 --> 00:09:07,708 Speaker 5: for me, it's Miles Garrett if I could start a 204 00:09:07,788 --> 00:09:11,388 Speaker 5: team and pick any defensive player, He's incredible to watch. 205 00:09:11,428 --> 00:09:12,548 Speaker 1: And that was just silly. 206 00:09:12,988 --> 00:09:16,268 Speaker 7: He said, instead of swim moves, I'm doing drimble moves ossover. 207 00:09:16,508 --> 00:09:19,268 Speaker 1: You know how intimidating that is when you're actually playing basketball. 208 00:09:19,308 --> 00:09:21,068 Speaker 1: And then he just messes around and does it in 209 00:09:21,108 --> 00:09:23,268 Speaker 1: the backfield of a defense. He should be on the line. 210 00:09:23,308 --> 00:09:25,988 Speaker 1: He's like, no, I got enough time. I'm just gonna 211 00:09:26,028 --> 00:09:29,028 Speaker 1: mess with Burrows head of all quarterbacks. Oh, Kelsey's great pick. 212 00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:30,508 Speaker 6: For me, it's Michaeh Parsons. 213 00:09:30,508 --> 00:09:32,028 Speaker 7: And I know that seems like a Homer pick because 214 00:09:32,028 --> 00:09:34,868 Speaker 7: I covered the two. I would argue, go and look 215 00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,268 Speaker 7: at everywhere that they've lined him up on the field. 216 00:09:37,308 --> 00:09:40,948 Speaker 7: For me, it's his versatility, it's his engine and his motor. 217 00:09:41,028 --> 00:09:42,988 Speaker 7: They call him the lion for a reason. 218 00:09:43,348 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 6: I mean, look the way that he gets You'll see him. 219 00:09:46,428 --> 00:09:49,468 Speaker 7: He is literally taking down one defender than the next. 220 00:09:49,508 --> 00:09:51,108 Speaker 6: He is so aggressive at getting to the ball. 221 00:09:51,148 --> 00:09:51,828 Speaker 3: And he's young. 222 00:09:52,148 --> 00:09:54,748 Speaker 7: And when we talked about some of his injuries, even 223 00:09:54,788 --> 00:09:58,628 Speaker 7: though he had multiple injuries last season, he played through him. 224 00:09:58,628 --> 00:10:01,988 Speaker 7: He had twelve sacks, I think forty three tackles, three 225 00:10:02,028 --> 00:10:02,948 Speaker 7: fource fumbles. 226 00:10:03,108 --> 00:10:05,068 Speaker 6: He is all over the field. Of you're at and 227 00:10:05,108 --> 00:10:07,028 Speaker 6: T Stadium, we're on the road, it's Mike ca. 228 00:10:07,108 --> 00:10:09,868 Speaker 7: Parsons with the sack, Mike Caparsons on the fumble, and 229 00:10:09,948 --> 00:10:12,868 Speaker 7: so for me, it's tough picking between the two. But 230 00:10:12,908 --> 00:10:15,228 Speaker 7: it's where you can line him up in different I mean, 231 00:10:15,228 --> 00:10:17,508 Speaker 7: they've played him at safety, they played him at linebacker, 232 00:10:17,548 --> 00:10:18,388 Speaker 7: they played him at end. 233 00:10:19,228 --> 00:10:21,268 Speaker 6: So I like his position flex. 234 00:10:21,748 --> 00:10:22,268 Speaker 1: I like that. 235 00:10:22,628 --> 00:10:25,988 Speaker 8: I'm actually gonna just submit for the conversation to start 236 00:10:25,988 --> 00:10:28,828 Speaker 8: with the Max Crosby. Why, Because we've seen him playing 237 00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:32,068 Speaker 8: on a team that has been a little bit win challenged. 238 00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:32,508 Speaker 1: And what does that mean? 239 00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:34,268 Speaker 8: So if I'm starting a team and I need to 240 00:10:34,348 --> 00:10:36,788 Speaker 8: rely on the defense, I'm looking at a guy who 241 00:10:36,828 --> 00:10:37,548 Speaker 8: can stop the run. 242 00:10:37,588 --> 00:10:40,268 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a guy who absolutely destroys. 243 00:10:40,388 --> 00:10:40,748 Speaker 3: Look at this. 244 00:10:40,828 --> 00:10:43,108 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Broncos. And why I said win 245 00:10:43,388 --> 00:10:45,388 Speaker 1: challenge it's the nicest way to put that. 246 00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:49,068 Speaker 8: But I'm guessing that if I'm starting a team, I 247 00:10:49,068 --> 00:10:50,628 Speaker 8: don't also get to pick a quarterback and all these 248 00:10:50,628 --> 00:10:53,628 Speaker 8: other things. So I'm going on for a player's twenty 249 00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:55,348 Speaker 8: seven years old, so you get two more years because 250 00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:57,548 Speaker 8: Miles Garrett's twenty nine, So we get a little bit younger, 251 00:10:57,668 --> 00:10:59,028 Speaker 8: and I get a little bit more of a guy 252 00:10:59,028 --> 00:11:01,748 Speaker 8: who can prove it even when the chips are down 253 00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:03,868 Speaker 8: around him. I know he's always gonna rise to the challenge. 254 00:11:03,908 --> 00:11:06,708 Speaker 8: And I don't think he ever gets enough credit for 255 00:11:06,788 --> 00:11:09,348 Speaker 8: how well he stops the run. That is something that 256 00:11:09,428 --> 00:11:12,228 Speaker 8: not all edge rushers are great at doing. And Max 257 00:11:12,268 --> 00:11:14,228 Speaker 8: Crosby he helps out in the run game as well. 258 00:11:14,308 --> 00:11:16,428 Speaker 6: Listen when he talks people, listen in that locker room too. 259 00:11:16,508 --> 00:11:18,828 Speaker 1: Yeah, how can you not? Yeah, we do this a 260 00:11:18,828 --> 00:11:20,828 Speaker 1: lot with the quarterbacks in the AFC, where we are 261 00:11:20,828 --> 00:11:24,748 Speaker 1: constantly listening mahomes Lamar, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen. And that's 262 00:11:24,748 --> 00:11:27,468 Speaker 1: a fair that's a fair list to do. Kelsey, I 263 00:11:27,468 --> 00:11:30,108 Speaker 1: gotta ask when we're talking defensive linemen and guys who 264 00:11:30,108 --> 00:11:32,428 Speaker 1: would start a team with, We're going Miles Garrett, Michael 265 00:11:32,468 --> 00:11:36,348 Speaker 1: Parson's Max Crosby is is that detrimental to what Trey 266 00:11:36,388 --> 00:11:40,548 Speaker 1: Henderson is going through in Cincinnati? Absolutely? 267 00:11:40,988 --> 00:11:44,388 Speaker 5: And that's where this is such a complicated situation that 268 00:11:45,068 --> 00:11:47,948 Speaker 5: for the last two years, this has been something that 269 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:51,308 Speaker 5: I've had to cover a lot because the market keeps resetting, 270 00:11:51,668 --> 00:11:54,348 Speaker 5: and Trey hendricks inside of it has been I shouldn't 271 00:11:54,388 --> 00:11:57,908 Speaker 5: have to apologize for Miles Garrett and soon to be 272 00:11:58,308 --> 00:12:01,628 Speaker 5: Micah Parsons resetting the market and the Bengals don't want 273 00:12:01,708 --> 00:12:03,628 Speaker 5: to pay him, and he says he's not asking for 274 00:12:03,708 --> 00:12:06,748 Speaker 5: Miles Garrett's type of money, but Cynthia, he thinks he's 275 00:12:06,788 --> 00:12:09,868 Speaker 5: at the level of a Max Crosby. And so that's 276 00:12:09,948 --> 00:12:13,388 Speaker 5: why this is such an interesting pridgment because he is thirty, 277 00:12:13,548 --> 00:12:16,188 Speaker 5: he's turning thirty one in December, but he's led the 278 00:12:16,228 --> 00:12:19,228 Speaker 5: league in sacks the last two years, so it's where 279 00:12:19,228 --> 00:12:21,828 Speaker 5: do you slot him? And they just haven't been able 280 00:12:21,868 --> 00:12:24,468 Speaker 5: to come to what Trey thinks is fair and what 281 00:12:24,508 --> 00:12:26,908 Speaker 5: the Bengals thinks is fair, and the market just keeps 282 00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:29,668 Speaker 5: getting higher and higher. So I really don't know where 283 00:12:29,668 --> 00:12:32,268 Speaker 5: the situation goes, and I think it's going to take 284 00:12:32,268 --> 00:12:34,548 Speaker 5: a little bit longer to figure out. And I'm fascinated 285 00:12:34,588 --> 00:12:37,388 Speaker 5: to see next week. Jane said that Michael Parsons is 286 00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:39,508 Speaker 5: going to be at mini camp. We don't know at 287 00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:42,228 Speaker 5: this point if Trey Hendrickson is going to report, because 288 00:12:42,268 --> 00:12:44,268 Speaker 5: I don't get the sense that it's on the same 289 00:12:44,348 --> 00:12:47,428 Speaker 5: level of calmness right now that maybe it is with 290 00:12:47,508 --> 00:12:48,948 Speaker 5: Michael Parsons and Cowboys. 291 00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:52,068 Speaker 8: I'm offering I'm Swy Hendrickson and I'm the sack leader. 292 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:53,068 Speaker 1: I'm not coming less. 293 00:12:53,108 --> 00:12:55,268 Speaker 8: I think we're actually get something done because you have 294 00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:56,508 Speaker 8: to bet on yourself at some point. 295 00:12:56,628 --> 00:12:56,828 Speaker 11: Yeah. 296 00:12:56,828 --> 00:12:58,788 Speaker 7: Well, and Kelsey, I know you've dealt with this up 297 00:12:58,788 --> 00:13:01,868 Speaker 7: in Cleveland. I mean in Dallas, I kind of got it. 298 00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,988 Speaker 7: I had quite a few back and forth with Jerry 299 00:13:04,068 --> 00:13:05,308 Speaker 7: Jones on this because. 300 00:13:05,068 --> 00:13:07,468 Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, we did this with Ezekiel Elliott. 301 00:13:07,508 --> 00:13:10,628 Speaker 7: We did this with See Lamb where it's you know, 302 00:13:10,668 --> 00:13:13,868 Speaker 7: we're not resetting the market, we were not paying I'll 303 00:13:13,908 --> 00:13:15,428 Speaker 7: never forget what the Ezekiel Elliott is. 304 00:13:15,468 --> 00:13:17,988 Speaker 6: We don't believe that he deserves Todd Gurley. 305 00:13:17,708 --> 00:13:19,828 Speaker 7: Money, and then he held out at camp and then 306 00:13:19,828 --> 00:13:20,988 Speaker 7: guess what you pay him. 307 00:13:21,388 --> 00:13:23,188 Speaker 6: They always end up paying. 308 00:13:24,308 --> 00:13:27,668 Speaker 7: I don't always, but I do believe what's interesting these 309 00:13:27,748 --> 00:13:30,268 Speaker 7: days is the leverage sometimes where it's did you guys 310 00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:32,388 Speaker 7: ever watch the show Glee. 311 00:13:31,828 --> 00:13:33,468 Speaker 1: Where it's, you know, Jay Lynch's. 312 00:13:33,228 --> 00:13:35,068 Speaker 6: Like, I'm going to make the situation. 313 00:13:34,868 --> 00:13:39,028 Speaker 7: So toxic that we're finding that players use that leverage 314 00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:42,828 Speaker 7: and request a trade by making these things very very diffeent. 315 00:13:42,828 --> 00:13:45,188 Speaker 7: We're seeing it in Tampa Bay right now. And so 316 00:13:46,468 --> 00:13:47,868 Speaker 7: my whole thing is, I think all of us we 317 00:13:47,908 --> 00:13:49,988 Speaker 7: go through our own contracts. You want to feel respected, 318 00:13:50,668 --> 00:13:53,068 Speaker 7: but it is fascinating watching some of these twists and 319 00:13:53,148 --> 00:13:55,108 Speaker 7: turns as it relates to holding out for the money 320 00:13:55,148 --> 00:13:57,388 Speaker 7: and deciding who deserves what. 321 00:13:59,628 --> 00:14:01,828 Speaker 5: But just to follow up on that, Jane, the only 322 00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:03,948 Speaker 5: reason it might be different than that where you say 323 00:14:03,948 --> 00:14:06,468 Speaker 5: they always end up paying them is that the Bengals 324 00:14:06,468 --> 00:14:09,068 Speaker 5: already pay their two wide receivers a ton of money. 325 00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:10,668 Speaker 1: This off seats we. 326 00:14:10,668 --> 00:14:16,988 Speaker 8: Didn't sure Dave Prescott find the Triple Crown winner without 327 00:14:17,028 --> 00:14:21,188 Speaker 8: a contract. First that that never happens other places that would. 328 00:14:20,908 --> 00:14:21,468 Speaker 3: Not have happened. 329 00:14:21,468 --> 00:14:23,588 Speaker 1: And then to make matters worse, Kelsey, is the fact 330 00:14:23,588 --> 00:14:25,828 Speaker 1: that you have a first round draft pick who also's 331 00:14:25,868 --> 00:14:28,068 Speaker 1: deal is not done right, Like I'm sure Lula an 332 00:14:28,188 --> 00:14:29,748 Speaker 1: Rumo for as much as we all love them, at 333 00:14:29,748 --> 00:14:32,508 Speaker 1: the table is like, guys, give me a guy, pay 334 00:14:32,548 --> 00:14:34,588 Speaker 1: a guy, and I can move forward with this. I 335 00:14:34,588 --> 00:14:36,588 Speaker 1: mean it must make some of the best liaries like 336 00:14:36,588 --> 00:14:38,148 Speaker 1: I'm going to Indy. 337 00:14:38,548 --> 00:14:41,348 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, can you guys believe some like. I mean, 338 00:14:41,428 --> 00:14:43,948 Speaker 5: sometimes the amount of storylines coming out of such a 339 00:14:43,988 --> 00:14:46,188 Speaker 5: small market in Cincinnati. I mean, if you look at 340 00:14:46,228 --> 00:14:49,268 Speaker 5: the difference in market size between Jane covering the Cowboys 341 00:14:49,428 --> 00:14:52,148 Speaker 5: and there sometimes are very similar storylines. It seems like 342 00:14:52,188 --> 00:14:54,428 Speaker 5: in the way that the Cowboys deal with contracts compared 343 00:14:54,428 --> 00:14:56,868 Speaker 5: to the Bengals. But yeah, I mean next week there 344 00:14:56,868 --> 00:14:59,268 Speaker 5: could be a chance that the Bengals don't have either 345 00:14:59,348 --> 00:15:03,668 Speaker 5: their first round pick, Schamar Stewart practicing or Trey Hendrickson, 346 00:15:03,828 --> 00:15:06,788 Speaker 5: And those are two of their you know, starting defensive 347 00:15:06,868 --> 00:15:08,908 Speaker 5: ends that they're counting on to what we talked about 348 00:15:08,948 --> 00:15:12,268 Speaker 5: so much this this episode is the slow start. So 349 00:15:12,308 --> 00:15:14,028 Speaker 5: the Bengals, you know, it's got to be something that 350 00:15:14,028 --> 00:15:16,388 Speaker 5: they got to figure out because not having either one 351 00:15:16,468 --> 00:15:19,068 Speaker 5: of those defensive ends next week in mini camp, I 352 00:15:19,108 --> 00:15:21,108 Speaker 5: don't think is an ideal situation for anyone. 353 00:15:21,308 --> 00:15:23,388 Speaker 7: Isn't it fun when we're trying to enjoy our one 354 00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:26,668 Speaker 7: month of summer from mid June to July, Kelsey, and 355 00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:29,068 Speaker 7: we're constantly on standby to see if this thing's going 356 00:15:29,108 --> 00:15:29,508 Speaker 7: to happen. 357 00:15:29,708 --> 00:15:32,308 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Mike go Tray, Micah Trey. Like the 358 00:15:32,388 --> 00:15:34,068 Speaker 1: nature of through ITOU on Thursday. Let's get to our 359 00:15:34,108 --> 00:15:36,988 Speaker 1: final topic. Kelsey already brought it up. It's Miles Garrett 360 00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:40,228 Speaker 1: doing the crossover. Let's bring basketball back into it. Inside 361 00:15:40,268 --> 00:15:43,228 Speaker 1: the NBA Legends Shaqil O'Neil joined the Kelsey Brothers on 362 00:15:43,268 --> 00:15:45,548 Speaker 1: their podcast and told them that he could have made 363 00:15:45,548 --> 00:15:48,348 Speaker 1: it in the NFL if he had stuck with football. 364 00:15:48,388 --> 00:15:50,428 Speaker 1: Explain yourself, Jack, I. 365 00:15:50,388 --> 00:15:52,668 Speaker 9: Think if I would have stuck with football, I probably 366 00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:55,068 Speaker 9: would have. I probably would have definitely made tied end. 367 00:15:55,228 --> 00:15:57,108 Speaker 9: Like I hate when people looking me, but you'd be 368 00:15:57,148 --> 00:16:00,268 Speaker 9: a good offensive. I'm not alignment. I'm a showman in 369 00:16:00,268 --> 00:16:02,988 Speaker 9: the nineties for sure. You running up and down the floor, 370 00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:04,268 Speaker 9: I could set that's up right now. 371 00:16:04,828 --> 00:16:08,068 Speaker 1: If people that say that don't remember Orlando Shack, right, 372 00:16:08,348 --> 00:16:10,148 Speaker 1: they don't remember every running the court like that. 373 00:16:10,148 --> 00:16:13,308 Speaker 3: That's what they don't remember, all right. 374 00:16:13,588 --> 00:16:15,628 Speaker 1: He says he was a showman and he would have 375 00:16:15,668 --> 00:16:18,308 Speaker 1: been inside the NBA. Look at those legends. 376 00:16:18,348 --> 00:16:20,868 Speaker 8: We got Shack and we got Charles Barkley. 377 00:16:21,228 --> 00:16:23,028 Speaker 1: This is what it looks like when you stack these 378 00:16:23,068 --> 00:16:25,868 Speaker 1: guys tail of the tape in the NBA. But here's 379 00:16:25,868 --> 00:16:28,508 Speaker 1: the question, the throwdown, which one of these guys would 380 00:16:28,548 --> 00:16:32,588 Speaker 1: have made a better NFL player considering all those numbers, 381 00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:35,988 Speaker 1: Shack or Chuck Kelsey, Who do you got? 382 00:16:37,708 --> 00:16:40,028 Speaker 5: I want to go with Chuck, And maybe it's because 383 00:16:40,028 --> 00:16:42,268 Speaker 5: I'm biased and I love Chuck on TV and think 384 00:16:42,268 --> 00:16:45,228 Speaker 5: he's just hilarious. But what if we said he's an 385 00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:46,948 Speaker 5: interior defensive lineman. 386 00:16:47,068 --> 00:16:47,428 Speaker 6: I don't know. 387 00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:49,228 Speaker 5: I just get the sense that he would just be 388 00:16:49,268 --> 00:16:49,988 Speaker 5: an animal. 389 00:16:50,068 --> 00:16:50,868 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go. 390 00:16:51,188 --> 00:16:54,188 Speaker 5: With Chuck being more successful if you played in the NFL. 391 00:16:54,348 --> 00:16:56,548 Speaker 1: Nice. I'm going with Shack. 392 00:16:56,748 --> 00:17:00,068 Speaker 8: Why because in those nineteen seasons they should have added 393 00:17:00,068 --> 00:17:03,068 Speaker 8: this to that chart we saw before. Fifty nine times 394 00:17:03,108 --> 00:17:05,188 Speaker 8: he fouled out of a game, the most. 395 00:17:04,908 --> 00:17:05,948 Speaker 1: In NBA history. 396 00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,628 Speaker 8: You don't think an NBA player likes contact? Oh you 397 00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:11,108 Speaker 8: know who likes contact? The seven foot one guy. That's 398 00:17:11,108 --> 00:17:13,668 Speaker 8: who likes contact. So if I'm saying, who's going to 399 00:17:13,668 --> 00:17:15,908 Speaker 8: be the more physical dude, the one that's gonna hien 400 00:17:15,948 --> 00:17:18,188 Speaker 8: And don't get me wrong, I love Chuck too, but 401 00:17:18,428 --> 00:17:18,908 Speaker 8: it's Shack. 402 00:17:19,028 --> 00:17:20,428 Speaker 6: That's all good one. 403 00:17:21,068 --> 00:17:24,588 Speaker 7: So I really I was curious about this because in Dallas, 404 00:17:24,628 --> 00:17:26,188 Speaker 7: when I worked in sports talk, there was like a 405 00:17:26,228 --> 00:17:29,268 Speaker 7: whole debate Lebron James once said he wanted to play 406 00:17:29,308 --> 00:17:31,068 Speaker 7: tight end for the Cowboys, rights of coourse, falling out 407 00:17:31,108 --> 00:17:32,708 Speaker 7: with Jerry Jones neither here nor there. 408 00:17:33,828 --> 00:17:35,588 Speaker 6: But there's never been a seven foot one tight end. 409 00:17:35,668 --> 00:17:38,308 Speaker 7: Obviously, we had a six' ten to one more stroud 410 00:17:39,348 --> 00:17:41,668 Speaker 7: throwback vintage football, fans and what they did was they 411 00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:43,588 Speaker 7: would just put him under the goal and have him 412 00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:45,788 Speaker 7: blocked field goals under the goalpost rather and having just 413 00:17:45,788 --> 00:17:48,388 Speaker 7: block field goals so much so that they came out 414 00:17:48,388 --> 00:17:50,668 Speaker 7: with the rule that you can't do it. ANYMORE i 415 00:17:50,708 --> 00:17:53,188 Speaker 7: do believe that he would be particularly dangerous on special. 416 00:17:53,228 --> 00:17:55,868 Speaker 7: TEAMS i think he'd be particularly dangerous as a tight. 417 00:17:55,948 --> 00:17:58,788 Speaker 6: End AND i didn't realize he was An all state football. 418 00:17:58,388 --> 00:18:01,428 Speaker 7: Player until he hurt his knee and then ultimately that's 419 00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:04,308 Speaker 7: WHY i ended up playing. Basketball so given the fact 420 00:18:04,428 --> 00:18:07,428 Speaker 7: that he is good on his, FEET i would loved he's. 421 00:18:07,308 --> 00:18:09,148 Speaker 6: Elite at talking smack uh. 422 00:18:09,228 --> 00:18:11,188 Speaker 7: Huh BUT i think he's one of the few ones 423 00:18:11,228 --> 00:18:13,268 Speaker 7: at seven foot one that actually carries his weight. 424 00:18:13,308 --> 00:18:16,628 Speaker 1: Well red zone.

Cousins now we 460 00:19:56,628 --> 00:19:59,388 Speaker 1: got A jj McCarthy. Situation what have you seen from 461 00:19:59,388 --> 00:20:02,348 Speaker 1: this young quarterback so far that makes you feel differently 462 00:20:02,388 --> 00:20:04,188 Speaker 1: about the trajectory The vikings are. 463 00:20:04,188 --> 00:20:07,228 Speaker 4: On you, know WHAT i really like about him is 464 00:20:07,268 --> 00:20:10,148 Speaker 4: his confidence and his. Poise even last year after his, 465 00:20:10,268 --> 00:20:13,868 Speaker 4: injury he stayed with the. Team he didn't get. Down 466 00:20:14,108 --> 00:20:17,588 Speaker 4: but what we have seen In OTA's mini. Camps now 467 00:20:18,068 --> 00:20:20,788 Speaker 4: he has that arm strength that he's been known, for the, 468 00:20:20,988 --> 00:20:26,548 Speaker 4: accuracy the. Zip he already has the camaraderie with his, 469 00:20:26,588 --> 00:20:28,948 Speaker 4: Teammates SO i think that that is not just something that's. 470 00:20:28,948 --> 00:20:31,508 Speaker 4: Assumed he has built that from day. One but when 471 00:20:31,548 --> 00:20:33,708 Speaker 4: you go on there and you see him on the, 472 00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:37,388 Speaker 4: field he has that leadership and so that's hard to 473 00:20:37,468 --> 00:20:40,228 Speaker 4: earn when you're a guy that hasn't really thrown the 474 00:20:40,228 --> 00:20:42,588 Speaker 4: ball to. Anybody and WHAT i really like too is 475 00:20:42,628 --> 00:20:46,188 Speaker 4: his improved. Footwork when he first got here From, michigan you, 476 00:20:46,188 --> 00:20:49,428 Speaker 4: know his footwork was a little different and had had 477 00:20:49,468 --> 00:20:51,948 Speaker 4: to adjust to THE, nfl and he's got that. Quickly 478 00:20:52,148 --> 00:20:56,748 Speaker 4: so from the attitude to handling, us to how he 479 00:20:56,868 --> 00:20:58,868 Speaker 4: is on the, field and now seeing him connect a 480 00:20:58,908 --> 00:21:03,028 Speaker 4: little bit with the likeel Like Jordan. Edison Justin, jefferson 481 00:21:03,108 --> 00:21:06,028 Speaker 4: of course excited for the future AND i hope he 482 00:21:06,068 --> 00:21:09,308 Speaker 4: can keep this up and the leg he said he's, bigger, stronger, 483 00:21:09,388 --> 00:21:12,388 Speaker 4: Faster so let's hook that that's the. Case. 484 00:21:12,908 --> 00:21:15,148 Speaker 8: Done it's such a pleasure to meet. You we saw 485 00:21:15,188 --> 00:21:17,428 Speaker 8: the Magic Sam darnold And Justin jefferson were able to 486 00:21:17,468 --> 00:21:19,668 Speaker 8: achieve in one season last. 487 00:21:19,748 --> 00:21:22,428 Speaker 2: Year now we have heard that they've. 488 00:21:22,228 --> 00:21:22,908 Speaker 1: Been hanging out. 489 00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,788 Speaker 8: Together they were out Of Minnesota timberwolves game maybe a 490 00:21:25,788 --> 00:21:28,828 Speaker 8: month ago or something like. That how is that developing 491 00:21:28,868 --> 00:21:29,228 Speaker 8: on the. 492 00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:33,068 Speaker 4: Field you know WHAT i really love About Justin jefferson 493 00:21:33,228 --> 00:21:36,868 Speaker 4: is his leadership and his, ownership and so he is 494 00:21:36,908 --> 00:21:39,868 Speaker 4: the guy that even if they didn't come, together he 495 00:21:39,988 --> 00:21:42,388 Speaker 4: was going to make sure that he got a really 496 00:21:42,428 --> 00:21:44,748 Speaker 4: good relationship going with this. Quarterback but when he saw 497 00:21:44,828 --> 00:21:46,748 Speaker 4: him at The, timberwolves some people, Said, okay was that 498 00:21:46,788 --> 00:21:49,468 Speaker 4: a little. Awkward but they're also miked, up you, know 499 00:21:49,628 --> 00:21:51,988 Speaker 4: so you're forcing these two guys that have chemistry and 500 00:21:52,068 --> 00:21:54,628 Speaker 4: also putting a mic on them and then showing them 501 00:21:54,628 --> 00:21:56,508 Speaker 4: on a big, screen and it just seemed like that 502 00:21:56,548 --> 00:21:59,588 Speaker 4: they have been friends.
