1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: Shouts out instructions off the play fake Lamar escaping a pocket, 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: slinky to the end zone. Touchdownravns and this time it's 3 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: a receiver Rashan Bateman. As the Ravens fans are having 4 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: a party tonight in South Florida. 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Ravens fans outnumbering the Dolphins fans by 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: the end of this game twenty eight to six, Lamar 7 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: Jackson with four touchdowns, only five incompletions. That was Jerry 8 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: Sandusky on WBA L and sometimes shook. Yeah, the broadcasting 9 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: call is just jumping out of the seat. But that 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: felt very ho hum, because, let's face it, the second 11 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 2: half of this game was rather ho hum. Hopefully this 12 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: recap will not be and we're gonna have some fun 13 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: on the back end, talking a little bit about the 14 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: futures of Tuatungua Bai Looa, maybe some other quarterbacks that 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 2: could be of available this offseason. But first we talk 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: about the return of Lamar Jackson. 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and what a return it was. You know, he 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: demonstrated his ongoing connection with Mark Andrews, which has been 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: the backbone of their offense for years, a staple in 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: this scheme, whether you know it was Greg Roman or 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: toddmunkin calling plays. He's always been the guy to go to, 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: So of course he goes to him twice to the 23 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: first two touchdowns, and of course he schemed up wide 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: open on the second one, a little mesh concept runs 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: two defenders into each other, Andrews wide open. Easy score. 26 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: But even then, even with those two touchdown drives, the 27 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: Ravens didn't really look that good in the first half. 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: The Dolphins had a shot and they wasted that opportunity. 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: And once the second half arrived, and there the Ravens 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: come out of halftime, they just go right down the field. 31 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: Touchdown pass, right down the field again, touchdown pass to 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman, three to tight ends wonder receiver Rashad Bateman 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: four total runaway win. The Ravens. We've said this before, 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: I guess we'll say it again. They may just be back. 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: They are very much in the running because Lamar Jackson 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: looks as good as he did before he got hurt. 37 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: It's so funny because going into this game, everyone's thinking, Hey, 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: the Ravens, you know, they are almost the favorites in 39 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: the AFC North. Meanwhile, everyone's just assuming the Dolphins season 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: is over, and yet they both only had two wins 41 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: entering this game. And you know what, sometimes the boneheaded 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: like consensus just very ho hum thinking, is the right one. Yeah, 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 2: the Ravens are much much better. It was obvious. And 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 2: it's a kiss of death when you dominate half of 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: football statistically against the superior team like the Dolphins did 46 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: in the first half of this game. It was two 47 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five yards to one oh one at 48 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: half time and you're trailing on the scoreboard. That always corrects. 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: It always corrects in the second half, and you described 50 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: how it was by the end of the game. You know, 51 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: even the stats are better for Baltimore. I thought coming 52 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: out in the third quarter, there was a couple of 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: key sequences there. Number one, on a third and long 54 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: to start the third quarter drive, lamarj actually scrambles, and 55 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: he really didn't all night. That was about it, and 56 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: you did wonder if he felt one hundred percent. You 57 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: didn't get to see him let loose on that hamstring 58 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: very often, but that was one play where he did scramble, 59 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: picked up the first down, and then they go right 60 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: down the field and end up with the Charlie Kohler touchdown. Meanwhile, 61 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: on the other side, the Dolphins get the ball back, 62 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: and this to me was the Dolphins in a nutshell 63 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: like their season. First down, Jonah savanea who's been a 64 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: disaster this year, one of the worst starting offensive linemen 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: in the league, gives up a sack to Travis Jones. 66 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: Second down, they run it on second and seventeen or 67 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: something get absolutely nothing. Felt like a give up play. 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: And then even worse on third down to his throwing 69 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: a check down that only would have gotten two or 70 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: three yards and that's knocked down at the line of scrimmage. 71 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: And it reminded me of the Raiders a little bit 72 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: from a few weeks ago. And I like to call 73 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: it the I don't want to be here offense, and 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: the Dolphins fans just just let them know, just booing 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: the hell out of them down in Miami. 76 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: I believe that was the moment in which four fans 77 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 1: in the stands put the brown paper bags over their heads, 78 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: which was a proper response. The funny thing is is 79 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: if you just watched that drive, you thought the Dolphins 80 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: that was their offense the entire night, and it wasn't. 81 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: In fact, at times they moved the ball effortlessly. They 82 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: were went right down the field. It's just that once 83 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: they got in or near the red zone, they self 84 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: destructed over and over again. You can go all the 85 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: way back to the first half, when they have three 86 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: points on the board, the game is very well within 87 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: reach and it's fourth and one. They're gonna goal for it. 88 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: False start backs them up five yards fourth and six, 89 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: settle for a field goal, kicker misses the field goal 90 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: wide right. They had multiple pre snat penalties, delay of games, 91 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: false starts, every type of procedural penalty that you could imagine. 92 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: They essentially committed. They couldn't get out of their own way, 93 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: and even when they found success, they found ways to 94 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: bring themselves in the opposite direction and hurt their chances. 95 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: They had opportunities and they blew them. Although I will 96 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: say the one call on Olie Gordon where he was 97 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: flagged for a penalty, that still doesn't make sense to me. 98 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: You could say he was tripping, like that's right, maybe 99 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: what they might call, but he slipped and fell and 100 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: the edge rusher, I think it's Mike Green. The rookie 101 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: leaps right over him and is unbothered and yet a 102 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: flag comes out and it wipes out to his best 103 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: throw of the night, probably their best scoring opportunity, and 104 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: it felt like from there they were cooked. 105 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a fifty yard completion to Wattle even 106 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: that play though, which was a positive play. Yeah, that 107 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: was what I watched on the you know, prime vision, 108 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: and that ball took forever together and you're kind of thinking, man, 109 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: if someone else would throw it there, that thing's a 110 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: touchdown and less air and Waddle does not have to 111 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: jump up for it in a contested cat situation. But 112 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: you're absolutely right when when the team isn't struggling that 113 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: in that you know, pre snap penalty made McDaniel lose 114 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: his absolute mind. They're getting bad luck on the tripping, 115 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: and then it's also bad execution, and then sometimes it's 116 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: just an absolutely weird play call. Let's actually listen to 117 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: the tua incompletion to Devin h Chan on one of 118 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: those fourth downs. This was a fourth and two later 119 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: in the game. 120 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: Back to Throll looking to is right the corner zones 121 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: a Chan was covered by Hamilton. Was a communication somebody 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: was not where they needed to be, and well, you 123 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: come away with no points after another nice drive. 124 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: Wow, that was Jimmy Sefalo and Joe Rose on wb 125 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: G G And yeah, you mentioned all the different ways 126 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: that they managed to blow things. They were inside the 127 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: thirty one yard line of the Ravens six times tonight. 128 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 2: Yeah they got six six points. That that was one 129 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: of them. It's a zero blitz. And they don't have 130 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: a better call or a better option for Tua who 131 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: had time then throwing like a slot fade to h 132 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: Chan who basically gave up on the route, and against 133 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton. But none of that was good. 134 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: None of that was I have so many thoughts about 135 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: this play. I understand why you go for it here. 136 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: Ideally your kicker makes the field goal, it's fourteen to nine. 137 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you settle for a field goal to make it 138 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: fourteen at twelve, but you realize this is maybe your 139 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: best scoring opportunity at least to this point in the game. 140 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna go for it. Okay, gutsy call modern football, 141 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: we're all on board with that. What we're not on 142 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: board with is putting a running back in the slot 143 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: and running a slot fade to him. He doesn't even 144 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: know how to run a slot fade, as evidence by 145 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: that play. I mean, he never even makes it to 146 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: the end zone to try to catch that ball, and 147 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: Mike mcdanild just looks up toward the canopy that they 148 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: built over hard Rock Stadium. Such a nice renovation they've done, 149 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: and just probably wondered, what what did I do to 150 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: deserve this? Why am I being forced to put a 151 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: running back in the slot and he doesn't know how 152 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: to run the route? What more can I do? And 153 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: responsibility falls on him for putting Han of that situation 154 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: and asking him to do that. But also, this is 155 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: professional football, and if that's the best thing that you 156 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: can put out there, just kind of illustrates how bad 157 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: of a situation your team's been in. 158 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, when I look at their offense and I think 159 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: about them moving forward, like eight Chan is a good player. 160 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: You know, he ends up with one hundred and two 161 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage. His explosiveness is awesome. Jalen Wattle continues 162 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: to produce without Tyreek Hill there. It's six catches for 163 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: eighty two yards and it would have been much more 164 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: if not for that bogus tripping penalty. But I just 165 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: think the Dolphins fans are so sick of watching this offense, 166 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: which are just the same timing in cuts to waddle 167 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: over and over, and the timing wasn't perfect tonight. There 168 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: were drops by other receivers Malik Washington with a couple 169 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: fumbles in this game, so that, yeah, it was all bad. 170 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: You can't just pick on one particular thing. I thought. Actually, 171 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: in the first half, they ran the ball very well, 172 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: and as you mentioned, like we're moving the ball well 173 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 2: against this Ravens defense. Let's let's give the Ravens a 174 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: little more credit. So actually you spoke about that second 175 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: touch down to Andrews, which was yes, it looked like 176 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: a simple throw because the two defenders ran into each other. 177 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: I thought it was another good game out of Todd Monkin, 178 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: two straight clean weeks from this Ravens offense. The running 179 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: game took a little while to get going, but Derrick 180 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: Henry ends up going over one hundred and twenty yards 181 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 2: with a big second half. So that looked like a 182 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: lot of Ravens games from a year ago, slow start 183 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: to finished well. But I thought this was a beautiful 184 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: throw still by Lamar Jackson. And yes, it was great 185 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: to see all three tight ends with multiple catches. Let's 186 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 2: listen to the second Andrews touchdown. 187 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Play CLOCKTT one, Lamar takes the snap deep drop, wats 188 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: it to the ten pot Andrews in touchdown. Ravens two 189 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: for two fla Mark Andrews a twenty yard throw catch 190 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: and run, and the rust is gone for Lamar Jackson. 191 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: That was a beautiful throw. Yeah. 192 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: One thing I'd like the last couple of weeks is 193 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: everyone's gotten involved. Andrews is a little more juice site 194 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: than I expected. Maybe the Dolphins defenders are just slow. 195 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: Isaiah likely a lot of juice on one of his 196 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: long yards after the catch play, and then Zay Flowers 197 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 2: with the big play down the field, Bateman got that 198 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: touch and so I just like they're spreading it out. 199 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: I'm not going to overreact, but hey, Nick, like their 200 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: B game is all they need to do potentially to 201 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: go on a long winning streak. As long as the 202 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: defense is just okay and normal, like they don't have 203 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: to be great, just just be okay, then I think 204 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: the offense can play this sort of B game and 205 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: potentially rip off a long winning streak. 206 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a couple of differences in this game 207 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: tonight versus how they've looked with Lamar out and obviously 208 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: the return of Lamar Jackson alone opens up so many 209 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 1: options for you. But like that play in particular, like 210 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: it's a mesh concept. But the reason that it becomes 211 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown is because Andrews is able to deepen his route. 212 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: It's not just like a flat drag. He's getting ten 213 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: fifteen yards down the field when he's catching that ball. 214 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: And because the defenders ran too each other, he's got 215 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of green grass to run through to get 216 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: to the end zone. That's like, that's just a good 217 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, design, right, But then you also look at 218 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: the defense and you think about the players that they 219 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: have missed when you watch them tonight. They did a 220 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: really good job up front, plugging up gaps, eating up blockers, 221 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: and allowing Roquan Smith to just play really well. He 222 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: was there to make a lot of key tackles, key stops. 223 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: He fights through multiple blocks, shuts down a screen early 224 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: in the game, shuts down a running attempt later in 225 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: the game. Like he's been playing really well over the 226 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, which is a boon for them 227 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: as well. And then you know, they talked about it 228 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: playing the broadcast. We've heard it all over the place. 229 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: You know. The acquisition of a Looie Gilman allowed them 230 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: to move Kyle Hamilton Hamilton around, which he played in 231 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: the box a lot tonight, but he's also making plays 232 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: all over the field. And then you got Malachi Starks 233 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: picking off to a tongue of by Loa downfield. Like 234 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: you're starting to get some of these guys back, the 235 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: defense is starting to come back together, and against a 236 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: team like the Dolphins who did move the ball well 237 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: on you and weren't able to get it done a 238 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: lot of self inflicted wounds, you're still the beneficiary of that. 239 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: The question is going forward when you try to compare 240 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: week to week the quality of opponent, Like we look 241 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: at the Ravens schedule, why could they potentially make this 242 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: a run. They played the Vikings, who's off has been 243 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: dormant for a while. They play the Browns, who are 244 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: one of the worst offenses in the NFL. They play 245 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: the Jets, same stories, save for last week. They played 246 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: the Bengals, also the same story. That's their next four, 247 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: and then they played Pittsburgh and that's their first like 248 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: big game in that stretch. I could see them winning 249 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: all four, even if they just play like they did tonight, 250 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: a b game tonight probably wins all four of those games. 251 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Maybe the Vikings game is close, maybe the Bengals game 252 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: is close because of the division rivalry. But ultimately, if 253 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: this is all you have to do, if this is 254 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: what you can produce in your sleep on a week 255 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: by week basis, we're gonna look at it real quick 256 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be seven to five. Yeah. 257 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: I want I want to see Lamar kind of let 258 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: let it loose in terms of how he plays. Is 259 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: a runner. I'm curious how the defense is gonna play 260 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: against better competition. We'll see where the Vikings are at 261 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: for that game. The Bengals offense is certainly playing better. 262 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: I am worried that they had like a fourteen percent 263 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: pressure rate against the Miami Dolphins. I know it's tough 264 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: sometimes because Tua gets rid of the ball so quickly, 265 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: but that was the weakness last week two against Chicago. 266 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: They just don't have one on one pass rush wins. 267 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: Kyle Vai had like one tonight, Mike Green basically didn't 268 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: have any. They're not a team that gets a lot 269 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: of pressure. So if you're if you're looking for a 270 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: fly in the ointment. That's it. But I'm so glad 271 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: you pointed out Rokuan Smith. That's the number one difference 272 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: right now. He he just changes their team. He did 273 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: not look healthy and he was not an effective player 274 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: before he went down with that injury and they sat 275 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: him down. In the last two weeks, he's been the 276 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: best player on the field, and that's a field with 277 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton, who's also being a bigger factor because of 278 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 2: where they're using. Aloe Gilman, who who had the the 279 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: greatest thing that can happen on the field, which is 280 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: he blew his assignment near the goal line and and 281 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: he let who wasn't Malik Washington get get wide open, 282 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: and then he realized that he blew it, and then 283 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 2: he ran over and he knocked the fumble out. So 284 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, in the middle of that play, oh, 285 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: I blew it, and then you run over and then 286 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: you saved the day and you get the you get 287 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: the turnover. So good job by Eloie Kilman on that play. 288 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: But good good point there on broke one. I think 289 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: that's so huge. 290 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And that's the difference that they can make. Now. 291 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: You don't want to necessarily live on those thinner margins 292 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: against better teams. But all we need is a demonstration 293 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: that you can kind of work toward that goal. And 294 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: I think that that's what we've seen him from this 295 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: defense over the last week's Manthy back to the Chicago game, 296 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: they had a key interception that set up a touchdown 297 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: that flipped that game on its side and put the 298 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: Ravens in a position of command. And they've been making 299 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: those plays over the last two weeks. So it's only 300 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: it's a small sample size on one game back with Lamar. 301 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: By the way, did you get nervous like I did 302 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: when he did run tonight? Like especially in the fourth 303 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: quarter he hit a couple of scrambles where I'm like, hey, 304 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: why is he still in the game, and be oh 305 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: my god, Like. 306 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: Why is Dereck Henry getting five carries up twenty eight 307 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: to six just so you can go over one hundred? 308 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: But then he went over one hundred and they gave 309 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: him like three or four more carries. Just just why 310 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: just don't stop? 311 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, necessary, we don't need that, all. 312 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: Right, good game, and yeah, keep an eye at Teddy 313 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: Buchanan spelled tea like Teddy, but with an e on 314 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: the end, which I like. He's kind of stabilized the 315 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: linebacker position too. He's actually looked pretty good, I think, 316 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: next to Roque. So that's like another change that they've 317 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: made throughout the course of the season. That's good. Meanwhile, 318 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: the Dolphins, I mean, they've been done. Would they consider 319 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: changing coaches with this little extra time? We'll see. They 320 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: have Buffalo next week at home, which is another opportunity 321 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: to give up a lot of points and to get 322 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: a lot of booze at home. That's potentially another spot. 323 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: They have three more Island games this year. I apologize 324 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: to the citizens of Germany. We're sending Commanders Dolphins there unfortunately. 325 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: And they have back to back primetime games Monday Night 326 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: Week fifteen against the Steelers and pitch. They can flex 327 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: Monday nights. Now, would they flex it when it's like 328 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: one dead team versus a good team? They might not 329 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: do that, but they should consider it. And then here's 330 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: a game that is getting flexed Sunday Night Football Dolphins 331 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: Bengals in Week sixteen. There's no chance that game, I. 332 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: Mean, unless the Bengals found themselves matter, it doesn't matter. 333 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: They're going to do better than that for Sunday Night 334 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: Football in. 335 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: Week sixty, the return of Joe Burrow. 336 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: No, that's too that's too good a week. Okay, you 337 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: mentioned Joe Burrow. Let's talk about another quarterback. To a 338 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 2: tongue of Ilo. As I'm watching this game, my mind 339 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: starts wandering, and as I'm looking through some of the 340 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: news that's coming out of Arizona, my mind starts wandering 341 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: to the quarterback market for twenty twenty six. I personally 342 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: don't think Tua is going to be for sure on 343 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: this Dolphins team. I think he'll be available at the 344 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: very least. Let's take a quick break and on the 345 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: other side, we're going to talk about Tua. We're going 346 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: to talk about Kyler Murray and uh yeah, we might 347 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: even talk about my boy Gino, who could be available 348 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: this offseason. All right, we're back on NFL Daily and 349 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna do a little news we can do. We're 350 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: taping this Thursday night. It's been a minute since we 351 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: taped that preview show, and new information is worth mentioning here. 352 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett, in the portion of practice that the Arizona 353 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: Cardinals writers were able to witness, was throwing the ball 354 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: to the starters, Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, et cetera. Kyler Murray, 355 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: in the portion of practice that reporters were able to watch, 356 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 2: were throwing, was throwing passes to backups and like scout 357 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: team guys, okay, Kyler Murray listed as limited on the 358 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: injury report. We thought he might be fully back this week. 359 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: He's listed as limited. You know, insert Brian Winhurst conspiracy 360 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: fingers here. I don't think this is even much of 361 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: a conspiracy. The Cardinals do not have Kyler Murray speak 362 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 2: to the media today. He was schedu to speak to 363 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: the media. They tell the media that a quarterback press 364 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: conference at a future date this week will occur, hosted 365 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: by quarterback. By the way, for what it's worth, the 366 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, when Jacoby Brissett did start, he 367 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: did it press conference later in the week. Like so, 368 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: it sure sounds like Kyler Murray is getting what I 369 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: like to call the old JJ McCarthy A little soft 370 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: benching here, That's what I'm calling it. And I'm curious 371 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: about your thoughts there, and we can get into the 372 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: long term of it all, but maybe let's start with 373 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: the short term of it all. With what's going on 374 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 2: with the Cardinals here. 375 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Oh, Kyler, you're still a little banged up. You know, 376 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: I take another week off. You know our offense is 377 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: kind of doing better with that. I need to take 378 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: another week off. We're trying to get a win here. 379 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: How about consider these stats for menfl research Jacoby present 380 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: at a sixty five completion percentage average, nearly three hundred 381 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: passing yards per game, four to one touchdown to interception ratio, 382 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: ninety eight point nine passer rating his two starts, yet 383 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: over two hundred and seventy five passing yards in each 384 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: of his two starts. Kyler has not broken two hundred 385 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: and twenty passing yards in any of his games. In 386 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Arizona averaged twenty point six points per 387 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: game with Kyler Murray in the lineup, and under three 388 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: hundred yards per game weeks one to five, twenty five 389 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: points per game three hundred and sixty five yards per 390 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: game with Jacoby Brissette. The numbers tell you what the 391 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: eye has already told you over the last two weeks, 392 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: which is that this offense has been better with Jacoby 393 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: Brissett at the controls. Now, this is a team that 394 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: if they got into third and long, which was a 395 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: common occurrence with Kyler at quarterback, they were pretty much doomed. 396 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: You go back to last year, same story. They lose 397 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: James Connor weeks ago running game, a struggle that usually 398 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: would insulate Kyler in these situations. They have a better 399 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 1: offense with Jacob yet quarterback right now, and they are 400 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: a team that needs to win a football game. They 401 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: are two and five, they are playing a Dallas Cowboys 402 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: defense that can't stop a nosebleed? 403 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 2: Interesting, why not keep. 404 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: Jacoby in and maximize your potential against a bad defense? 405 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: That's I am on board with the soft benching. It's 406 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: weird how it was described today. We are preparing Kyler 407 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: as the starter, but you're not gonna say he's the starter. 408 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: So what's the point. And if you're preparing him as 409 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: the starter, why is he running with the twos? So 410 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: I makes sense. 411 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: You know, I'm hearing from a lot of Cardinals fans 412 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: or just general fans on Twitter, it's like, Ah, he's 413 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: just doing a smoke screen. It's gonna be Kyler hearing 414 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: from others that it's the opposite, like he's just trying 415 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: to keep it vague, but yeah, it'll be Jacoby like, 416 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: but Kyler's hurt. They've indicated the last couple of weeks 417 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 2: that they thought Kyler would be back for this game. 418 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 2: He literally was on the practice field before the last game, 419 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: which was before the bye week. For them, this is 420 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 2: at an absolutely crucial moment in this entire regimes run 421 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: year three, when it needs to happen. And they have 422 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 2: a quarterback that they inherited with a massive contract, and look, 423 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: I know he got that contract when they arrived, but 424 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: he was there before they arrived. And you have an 425 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator and Drew Petsig who's familiar with Jacoby, and 426 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: there was a lot of confidence. You Jordan alluded to 427 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: it when she went to Cardinals' training camp earlier this offseason. 428 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: I mean, you know in camp, like how much they 429 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: like Jacoby Brissette. I just think it's telling and it's 430 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: a huge moment for this entire regime because they're saying, 431 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 2: when the chips are down, like, this is who we want, 432 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 2: This is who we trust to turn our season around 433 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: to save our jobs. You know, it doesn't hurt that 434 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 2: they're against the Cowboys on Monday Night either. I mean, 435 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 2: like the whole country's going to be watching and we're 436 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: playing this cupcake defense. I mean, that would be a 437 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 2: soft landing for Kyler to return. So I think that 438 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: says a lot. And now I want to pivot to 439 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 2: the long term of it all. I think the Cardinals 440 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: are a good team that could get back in the mix, 441 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: but the NFC is deeper. This is in the AFC. 442 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tough road to get all the 443 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: way back with their brutal schedule. I don't think Kyler 444 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: Murray is going to be on this team next year, 445 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 2: and so that immediately makes him, in my mind. Looking 446 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 2: at the landscape, the most intriguing quarterback that could be available. 447 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 2: The draft doesn't look as as frisky, although obviously those 448 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 2: guys are going to be interesting. And then the free 449 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 2: agency and trade market is never great, and we'll talk 450 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 2: about a few guys. I think two is one of them, 451 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: but I think I think personally Kyler would have a 452 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: lot of value. Do you agree. 453 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: I think it's about fit, Like you have to think 454 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: about suitors. How desperate are the suitors first team? I 455 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: think I was the Browns, Like I wrote something down, 456 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: that's what I'm interested. Are they interested in Kyler Murray. 457 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's not quarterback that necessarily fits the dynamic 458 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: or the style of offense. And Kevin Sefanki runs. In fact, 459 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Jokobe percent ran it pretty well. 460 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think that's a fit. 461 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: No, But yeah, I think he's gonna draw some Any 462 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: quarterback with any sort of history of success, whether it's 463 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: one year or you know, sprinkled in success here or there, 464 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: or high and low moments, which is the latter is 465 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: basically Kyler Murray's career is going to command interest because 466 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: there are never thirty two solid jobs. There are never 467 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: thirty two confirmed starters in the NFL. There's always interest somewhere. 468 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: So yes, I think he will draw interest. 469 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think he is a better option than 470 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: plenty out there. He is only twenty eight years old. 471 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: He's shown a level of success for extended periods. The 472 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 2: problem is he hasn't like struck it over a cold season. 473 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 2: He'll of a hot month, they'll have a hot half season. 474 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: But at a pretty high level. The skill set is obvious. 475 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: I think there's concerns about how he leads. Patrick Peterson, 476 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: former teammate, has voiced those concerns when he was on 477 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: the team, and now he's voicing him as part of 478 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 2: the media that he doesn't think that he essentially rallies 479 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: the troops enough and gets the buy in from his 480 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: teammates in the way that Patrick Peterson would like to see. 481 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: That said, sometimes a second chance in a new place. 482 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: We've seen it with good quarterbacks. Like it was poisoned 483 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: for Darnold, it was poisoned for Baker, Gino Smith took 484 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 2: a while to get going. Daniel, Like, I think it 485 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 2: just could be good for him. If he's going to 486 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 2: have success. Maybe it's gonna be somewhere else where he's 487 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: out from the pressure and everything that's happened since he's 488 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: been the number one overall pick in Arizona. 489 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: I need to know the teams now because I'm thinking 490 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: about all those quarterbacks listed and like, it doesn't work 491 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: for Baker if he doesn't go through it, it doesn't 492 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: work for Sam if he doesn't have a year in Minnesota. 493 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: I need to know the teams. 494 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, there's Miami number one. That's gonna be tricky 495 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: because if we'll get to Tua, but they'd have to 496 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 2: take on some cold by the. 497 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: Way, could you imagine mon scenario in which Steven Ross 498 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: doesn't fire Mike McDaniel at all and just like decides 499 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: to swamp quarterbacks because that would be absurd. 500 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: In fact, and watching it was hilarious watching the Chris 501 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: Greer shots that they were trying to show, but he 502 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 2: was like behind the post. It was like, I'm hiding 503 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: from you. 504 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: I know you're there, just with the camera, Dan Marino. 505 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: He's wearing a teal jacket. 506 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 2: Right, Because yeah, the blame pie can go around, and 507 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 2: I think considering the fact that the Dolphins haven't won 508 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: a playoff game in twenty four years, was it and 509 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 2: that's the longest of any team in the NFL, I mean, 510 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 2: I think the blame pie has to start at the 511 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: very top because that's the most common, the thing that's 512 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 2: run through all those years. But Chris Grere has been 513 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: there basically that whole time too. By the way, he 514 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: hasn't been in charge the whole time, but he's been 515 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 2: in charge for a while. So I think you go 516 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: to the very top, and then I think you go 517 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 2: right under him, and that's Chris Gerey. So Mike McDaniel 518 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: would be lower for me, But I assume they're gonna 519 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 2: blow up the whole thing. So there's Miami, that one 520 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: could be tricky. There's the Saints. Our friend Adam is 521 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 2: immediately like, don't put that stink on me. I was like, 522 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: you should be so happy if you could get Kyler Murray. 523 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 2: He'd be the best post breeze quarterback you've had. I would, 524 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: I would. It's got to be better than whoever you 525 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: find for next year. You should be happy with Keller. 526 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: With Kellen Moore. I don't mind that. I don't hate that. 527 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: I could see that. The Raiders I think are going 528 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 2: to be in the market for a quarterback. I don't 529 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: know what's going to be going on there, but Gino Smith, 530 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 2: you can get out of that contract, and unless it changes, 531 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: I think they're going to be looking. I can just 532 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: see that. Can't you just see Kyler Murray in this 533 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: over Yeah? 534 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: I mean in the silver black. Yeah. But the Raiders 535 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: are like very radioactive to me right now. 536 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: So that's just well, it's not gonna be good for him. 537 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: And also I think Tom Brady's gonna making quarterback judgments recommendations. 538 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 2: I don't think Kyler Murray. I don't think he would 539 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 2: lean to the Jets could be looking for a quarterback. 540 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: You know, Justin Fields is on a two year contract, 541 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 2: but certainly they could be looking for an upgrade. You 542 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: mentioned the Browns after that, it'd have to be more 543 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: of a like a surprise team. Could Jacksonville be looking 544 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: for a quarterback? I don't know. Once we get once 545 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: we get further down the list, it gets into just 546 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: bigger surprises. But he'll have a market, I think. And 547 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: the contract is reasonable thirty six million dollars depending on 548 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: which part of the roster bonus when it's paid. Something 549 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 2: around thirty two million dollars has already been guaranteed. That's fine, 550 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: Like you would take that. There's really nothing past next year, 551 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 2: so it'd be a one year trial and you see 552 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 2: what happens with Kyler Murray. I think it'd be interesting. 553 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: I think he has a chance. I'm I'm planting my flag. 554 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm thinking back a few years ago to when he 555 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: got this contract and then there was all the drama 556 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: and he cleared his social media and all that stuff. 557 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: And it's kind of crazy how when time passes suddenly 558 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: those contracts that seem so bloated and like could be 559 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: an albatross in future years. The way they're structured, You're like, nah, 560 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, they can get out of it, Like it's fine, 561 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: it's totally feasible. 562 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 2: We would find this. 563 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: We set this stage going into the season. We felt 564 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: like the Cardinals twenty twenty five season was a a 565 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: judgment of Jonathan Gannon, but more importantly a judgment of 566 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: the future with Kyler Murray and whether he'd be there 567 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: or not. So now that we've arrived at this point, 568 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm not at all surprised. Yeah, I think it could 569 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: definitely happen. 570 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: And it was a really interesting time when if you 571 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: think back to it, because that was twenty twenty two, 572 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: and like they were under a lot of pressure to 573 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: commit to him. But then you look at this Gannon 574 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: you know, regime and the general manager you know, proceeds 575 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: Gannon there, and it was believed there was some pressure, 576 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 2: you know, coming from ownership too, and so he never 577 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: has exactly been the Cardinals guy in terms of their 578 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: general manager. Anyways, Okay, let's move on to Tua. I 579 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: was trying to think of Monty Austin for it's name, 580 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: and it was just like double check, now you got it. 581 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: When he was there, man, I think they got to 582 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: get out of this to of business. He doesn't make 583 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: sense without Mike McDaniel. I don't think Mike McDaniel's going 584 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: to be there. He has a lot of guaranteed money 585 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: next year, fifty four million dollars guaranteed, almost nothing after 586 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 2: next year. But I at least think they would check 587 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 2: around to see if there was some sort of market 588 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: for Tua. It's all going to depend who's running the 589 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: show there. But I just don't I just don't think 590 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: it's going to happen. I think he's a limited quarterback 591 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: and I would pay to get out of the toua market, 592 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: eat the dead money. In the short term, you actually 593 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: save money in terms of the salary cap next year 594 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 2: if you trade him, despite all that guaranteed money accelerating, 595 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 2: they would save money against the cap by trading him. 596 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: And with that in mind, if they would take on 597 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: some of the money, then I think another team would 598 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: be interested. Me maybe the Vikings would be interested in 599 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: a one bee like you're just just throwing different names 600 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: out there. 601 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, if the McCarthy thing continues to be a mystifying 602 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: experience as it's been so far, But yeah, you're right, 603 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: because they're eleven in the red right now, and they 604 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: would clear thirteen to four on a trade with next 605 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: year pre I think that, yeah, pre June first, right, 606 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: so it's yeah, I mean they'd clear eleven. They'd clear eleven, 607 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: which would get them out of the red that carry 608 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: forty five point two. Indead, it amounts somewhat to the 609 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: Broncos getting rid of Russell Wilson. And I think if 610 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: you're going for a regime change, in an identity shift 611 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 1: away from this creative motion heavy offense, we're gonna throw 612 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: it all over the yard YadA, YadA, YadA, like Tyreek Hill. 613 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: You know, he's talked about potentially retiring, Like if he 614 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: retired now, he'd be fine with it. Like a lot 615 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: of changes coming to this team, and I think it's necessary, 616 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: and I think it should involve your quarterback. Not to 617 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: just be like a guy who agrees with everything you 618 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: say on this specific episode, but like the proof is 619 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: in the tape now, I will say there have been 620 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: games where he's been very good. There have been games 621 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: where he's been very bad. Tonight was neither. He was 622 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: average and his teammates let him down. But if you're 623 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: changing your identity. You're right, Tua does not fit. The 624 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: only worst place to be though than where they're at 625 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: right now is a team with no idea and no quarterback, 626 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: and that's the big risk you take. 627 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: He wasn't great tonight, but I think tonight was a 628 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: perfect example of he looks. I think he just has 629 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 2: a limited skill set. I don't think he's great adjusting 630 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: after this nap. He has to do a few certain 631 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: things well. He doesn't certainly doesn't create plays on his own, 632 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 2: and doesn't have a huge arm. And it's probably more 633 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: likely because of the contract that he will be there 634 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: with either a rookie or someone that he's competing with 635 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: for one last year. But I just am of the 636 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 2: mind that if it's a new head coach, like don't 637 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 2: waste that year. We see teams do that all the time, 638 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 2: and even if that's likely to happen, I don't think 639 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: it's a particularly good idea. By the way, I just 640 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: I did want to make a correction. Austin Forton Gannon 641 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 2: did completely inherit Murray, And what I was thinking about 642 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 2: was when they were hired. Remember they made the big 643 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 2: show of really embracing him and the timing was really 644 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: confusing because they had just signed Murray to that big 645 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: contract the previous summer before Kingsbury gets blown out in 646 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: the middle of that season, so it was the timing 647 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: was tricky. But remember they went to Oklahoma and went 648 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 2: to watch his number get retired, and it was a 649 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 2: big They were trying to really embrace him even though 650 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: that wasn't their guy, and I think they've tried to 651 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: make it work and it just hasn't. 652 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: And that happens, you know, both of these players just 653 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: and I think there was probably more ammunition behind signing 654 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: Kyler than there was Tua. But we have found ourselves 655 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: in this strange position in the NFL these days, where 656 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: the contracts get bigger and bigger, and teams there's a 657 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: lot of confirmation by us within these front offices if 658 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: the front office that drafted the guy is still there. 659 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: You see that across a lot of different positions, but 660 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: especially at quarterback. Three guys come to mind that have 661 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: signed these big deals because they were due and there 662 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: were questions. Kyler, Tua, and Trevor Lawrence. Two of those 663 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: guys could be facing a new home next year. As 664 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: we just discussed, We'll see what happens with the Jaguars. 665 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: But last year it felt like maybe Trevor was headed 666 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: that way too. Weird weird time in the NFL to 667 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: be in a position where you've got to pay big 668 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: dollars to a guy that you might not be one 669 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent convinced as your guy. 670 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: Well in a weird time. And I've always thought this 671 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 2: that the fourteenth best quarterback in the league gets a 672 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: pretty close to the same contract as the best quarterbacks 673 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 2: in the league. Like Jimmy Garoppolo has been the highest 674 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 2: paid quarterback in the league, Trevor Lawrence has been the 675 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,959 Speaker 2: highest paid quarterback league to a tongue of blow has 676 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: been the highest paid quarterback in the league. It's a 677 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 2: weird system and it always makes me think that the 678 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,239 Speaker 2: most underpaid and best value players in the NFL are 679 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 2: like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes because it's like, why 680 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: are they the same as toua And if there was 681 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: no salary cap, they'd all be making one hundred and 682 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars a year. 683 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: I would defer their contract like Shoe Heeo Tani. 684 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: Right they till they moved to Japan after their careers. 685 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: I think Gino could be available by the way too, 686 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 2: and then a guy who would be on MVP ballots 687 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: if the MVP was voted for today and we'll be 688 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: doing our mid season awards next week. Daniel Jones also 689 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 2: a free agent. I don't list him and want to 690 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: even really go too deep into him, because if he 691 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 2: continues on this trajectory, there's just no way the Colts 692 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 2: are going to let him go. He'll be franchise tagged, 693 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: they'll figure out a contract, but teams do not get 694 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 2: let players like that go if they don't want to, 695 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 2: and there's no reason why he would want to go 696 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 2: anywhere anyways. 697 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: And they are, they're fortunate, but they also deserve credit 698 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: for taking that swing on him because there's been a 699 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: lot of teams whose first round pick flames out and 700 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: they have nowhere else to go, and that's the track 701 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: they were on, and they were just like, you know what, 702 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: we need to bring in competition for Anthony Richardson. There's 703 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: been a lot of those situations are going to bring 704 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: in competition and it doesn't produce anything. This happened to 705 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: produce the perfect scenario for them where they could just 706 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: be like, Anthony, just stay over there. We got a 707 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: good thing going here. We'll pay this guy. 708 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 2: I did the Lockdown Vikings podcasts earlier this week, check 709 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 2: that out with Luke Brown, and we were saying they 710 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 2: had a chance to do that perfect scenario themselves and 711 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 2: just pay a few more dollars for Daniel Jones, and 712 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 2: they probably would have had to promise him a real 713 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 2: chance to win that starting job, and I don't think 714 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 2: they were ready to do that. And maybe JJ McCarthy 715 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 2: will prove this all stupid, and maybe Daniel Jones will 716 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 2: have a Sam Darnold like end to the year, which 717 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 2: will complicate matters for the Colts. But the difference is 718 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 2: the Colts don't have anyone waiting in the wings that 719 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 2: they're gonna have faith in. So I think Daniel Jones 720 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 2: is going to be there unless the Wheels came off 721 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 2: really hard. Don't think that's gonna happen, all right, The 722 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 2: Wheels stayed on this podcast even if they didn't stay 723 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: on this game. Love you, Shook, Appreciate you, and yes, 724 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 2: I hope your fan from the wedding in New Orleans 725 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: is listening.

I don't care if 728 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 2: it's Jacobe Brissette. I like the Cardinals, but check out 729 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 2: all the other picks with me and Cynthia and check 730 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 2: shook myself.
