1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we can only hope we

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: look as good as Jimmy Johnson at eighty one years old. Hell,

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: I hope I'm alive at eighty one years old.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: I'm in the Chris Westling podcast studio and I'm joined

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: by my friend Patrick Claybonn. Good to be back in

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: person with you, buddy, We're back.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 3: The travels went well, you guys were killing it at

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: the Combine. This was it was an illustrious week of

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: content and I just know our fearless leader had us

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: repped well.

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: It was great.

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: It was really fun out there. And yes, I taped

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: a show back in Los Angeles with Nick Shook, who

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, was just straight off of Saint Elmo's on

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: Sunday nights. I still feel like the Chemtrails of the

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: Combine is not quite over yet. In fact, we're going

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: to have on Colleen Woolf on our next show and

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: she might have some just tails from the combine.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Just like lathered and cocktail.

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Well just she things happen with her and Jordan Rodrigue

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: also like, so we'll see, like it's not over yet.

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: And yet I bring that up to say, like, okay,

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: that's just ending and we're six days away from free

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: agency starting like it's here. It it never really does.

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: This is kind of a calm before the storm week,

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: and yet there's gonna be a lot of cuts. We

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: have a few of those to talk about today. There's

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna be some trades. So before the off season starts,

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the AFC East. We went through

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: the NFC a couple weeks back. We're gonna go through

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: the AFC this week and preview their off season. Throughout

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: the week, we're gonna be talking about free agents. Guys

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: we want to sign, just moves, we want to see

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and updating you every day on the news.

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: It is in the name. This is a week where

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm happy and believe that the daily format will bear

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: fruit for the listeners.

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: It always has scratched. Sure, don't tell yourself short.

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I know, but like May, it's gonna be just like

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: a little bit different. We're gonna have fun. But there's

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of news this week. Let's start

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: with it. Darius Slay is no longer a Philadelphia Eagle,

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: in a move that didn't seem to surprise Darius Slay

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: but still for some reason surprises me. They cut the man. Yeah,

46
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: thirty four year old coming off a pretty good season.

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: I went and checked around. I was like, Darius Slay

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: was pretty good last year, right, And I went and

49
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: checked people around the team and everything.

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, he was good last year, And

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: I have to imagine because there's a path back, but

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: just at this juncture to try to figure it out

53
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: before the draft, before free agency, before everything is set,

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: to give Darius a chance because he said he only

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 4: wants to play one more year.

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: Yes, so it would seem it would seem like once

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: we've navigated that, there'll be an opportunity for him to

58
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: come back for his final hurrah for the Philadelphia Eagles.

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: I'll say that as.

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: We yeah, as we're talking about him, Like, am I

61
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: jumping the gun on even putting this out there? I mean,

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: it's one of the top stories on NFL dot Com,

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: So I don't think so. But then I look at

64
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: his base salary. They're not even really saving any money.

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean they are if they make him a post

66
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: June first cut, you say, like four million dollars, but

67
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: you gotta wait till June. They're a team that kind

68
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: of needs cap space. Now it doesn't totally make sense

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: to me, and then I suddenly am like having flashbacks

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: to other Eagles negotiations where they have said they're going

71
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: to cut a guy, but then like Brandon Graham, and

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: then it ends up working out in the end. So

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: stay tuned. But either way, I think Darius Slay has

74
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: some good football left in him. I do think they

75
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: are fans of the young man Keeley Ringo, who did

76
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: not get a lot to run this year, but apparently

77
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: had a good training camp. Isaiah Rodgers played quite well

78
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: for them. He is a Yeah, he's a free agent,

79
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: so he's not necessarily back, but maybe he's someone they

80
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: look at. We could bring him back for a couple

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: of years, and they like Ringo. So just the cornerback

82
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: position in flux a lot in flux. In Philadelphia, the

83
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Bengals officially tagged t Higgins. We expected that to happen.

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: T Higgins doesn't seem like thrilled about all.

85
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: No, like, yeah, it's a league wide cost control metric

86
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: that nobody really enjoys. I guess there's in some circumstances

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: it can work out for the player, but this is

88
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: you would like long term security. And yeah, I saw

89
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: an article that said, like T Higgins post cryptic message

90
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: on social media and the message was I'll let when

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: I know, I'll let y'all know. I'm like, what's the

92
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: cryptic part. It's like, Oh, he's gonna be in a

93
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: bad mood. Well, yeah, like he would like to have

94
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: this thing done. And how many times does he really

95
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: need to say that? It just it feels like sometimes

96
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: these things take unnecessarily long.

97
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: That's absolutely true. And you got to be careful with

98
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: what articles you find out there. This is the first

99
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: full NFL offseason with like mass AI articles in the

100
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: wilderness because these last couple of weeks when I'm doing

101
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: my research, you know on Google is part of that tool,

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: and you got you gotta be careful out there. I

103
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. It's sports, keita or what.

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. It seems like it's AI.

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot there's a lot of AI articles out

106
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: there that you click on. It's got a decent headline.

107
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they get you and then you're like, oh wait,

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: this is just slop regurgitated.

109
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: It's bad, and then so that slop gets ingested into

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: the AI right right, and it gets regurgitated as Google's

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: very first thing, which is how we wound up with

112
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: that rule that didn't exist last year about on side

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: kicks and timing, and everybody's like, oh, the rule book

114
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: says you can't do this.

115
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: It never said that, It never said that anywhere.

116
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: And like, how can I explain this and teach this

117
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: to my children? How are they supposed to be so

118
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: conversant in like figuring out what's It's just very annoying.

119
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Let's move on from that. Oh, I did want to

120
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: bring up to you though you your name came up

121
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: at the dinner table. Oh, over the weekend's never good.

122
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: The combine was on and like no one was working out,

123
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: and my wife thought like, oh, that they should force

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: them to do the combine, Like this is this is

125
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: this is trash, like not knowing you know, great is

126
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: working out at the comment anymore. It's just ruining the event.

127
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: They should force them. And I was like, well, you know,

128
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: my friend I'm hearing my friend Patrick would tell you

129
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: that this the entire kind of draft system. You know,

130
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: what other industry is there where they're you know, they

131
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: could make a lot more money. But that's capped and

132
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: they can't choose where they go, and so this is

133
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: just one small bit of not fighting back. But like, hey,

134
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: you're going to draft me anyways if it's good enough,

135
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: So why do I have to do this?

136
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: And to those folks like I share your concerns, pay them,

137
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: pay them to do the combine. You get more people

138
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: working out, you get a better show if you would

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: like more people working out.

140
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: It's it's unfortunately for the NFL network and for everyone

141
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: who covers it. But if the NFL Scouting Combine becomes

142
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: mostly an event for like picks twenty five through the

143
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: seventh round, those people that they're they're going to be working,

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: They're going to continue to work out. It's not the

145
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 1: end of the world. It's still very useful. It's useful

146
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: for other reasons. Obviously that the medical and the interviews.

147
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: I think that's what teams get out of it anyways.

148
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: But if the on field stuff ends up just being

149
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: kind of rounds two through seven, well that's still most

150
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: of the NFL draft, and that might be what it

151
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: turns out to be, because those guys are gonna want

152
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: to prove themselves. They're Unfortunately they don't have the luxury

153
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: to skip it.

154
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: I think one thing that might help because we've seen

155
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: multiple incidents where the medicals are an ordeal, like that's

156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: a lot of time. I think it's invested in a

157
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: truncated week where you're having a lot of conversations. Maybe

158
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: if the medicals were off site and we prioritize the

159
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: workouts and the interviews, maybe that's a path forward. But

160
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: it's a great event and we get to meet guys

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: and understand a little bit more about them and see

162
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: them all in the same place. So I think it's

163
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: great for evaluation.

164
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the interview part is great for the

165
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: teams to just get that much. I mean, how many

166
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: people do I make a decision about within the first

167
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, like most. I think it's funny. Sean McVay

168
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: excited that Matthew Stafford is back. He said he was

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: sleeping better and Stafford decided to rejoin the Rams. Let's

170
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: listen to a little Sean mcvacebook with the media on Monday.

171
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: You know, we've taken it a year at a time

172
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: and he's earned the right, I believe, to be able

173
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: to say, hey, I think he could play for a

174
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 5: few more years if that's what he wanted. But we've

175
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: always had great dialogue and I think it's really kind

176
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: of been a year to year thing. He's obviously under

177
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 5: contract for two more years with us, but as long

178
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: as he wants to play, I know we're feeling really

179
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 5: good about that.

180
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 1: Interesting to me. Still a year to year contract, didn't

181
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: rip it up, didn't start a new contract. Still don't

182
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: have all the details. I really think the Rams got

183
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford to basically return, and maybe they sweetened it

184
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it was clear based on the reporting,

185
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Raiders were willing to essentially guarantee

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: two years. The Rams aren't doing that. Based on what

187
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: McVeigh just said, it's a year to year thing and

188
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: we could be revisiting this again. And it's great for

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: most parties, I think, if you know, maybe not Matthew

190
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: Stafford's like financial advice, he has slightly less money to

191
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: work with, but everyone else it's great for Yeah.

192
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: No, and this was a Philadelphia Eagles team that was

193
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: dominant right throughout the playoffs, and the only moment of

194
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: fear was Matthew Stafford in the snow in Philadelphia right

195
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and this team is so much better

196
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: with Stafford, and the idea that you would have this

197
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: very good base of a team now scrounging for the

198
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: Darnolds of the world after living this lap of luxury.

199
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: It seems like ridiculous in hindsight, but I think there

200
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: was an opportunity for Matt to maybe do some skiing

201
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: as right as that was with controversy, and I'm glad

202
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: you were in India for that, but also to see

203
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: what these other teams could say so that he could

204
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: come back and he could know and the Rams could

205
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: know that that this matchup was the best for both

206
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: of them.

207
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was also interesting that McVeigh confirmed

208
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Rob Havenstein and Tyler Higbee are both back. Maybe not

209
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: huge names to the general public, but the two guys

210
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: who have been on that roster the longest, and so

211
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: if they were trying to turn over their roster and

212
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: really look to the future, they would maybe be getting

213
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: rid of these guys instead. He's back, Stafford's back. They're

214
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: both probably going to be starting this year, and they

215
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: are definitely looking to contend while getting younger. I really

216
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: think they're going to draft a quarterback this year with

217
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: a second or third round pick, maybe even a first

218
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: round pick. I think they're going to look to the

219
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: future at quarterback. It's a weird draft to do that,

220
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: but there are some There are some guys and you

221
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: only have to fall in love with one in the

222
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: second or third round. People connecting Jackson Dart to them,

223
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: We'll see. I just think that this is time for

224
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: them to start working on a new guy.

225
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: He did say that it was a very long process

226
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: last time. This time it was significantly shorter. Yes, maybe

227
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: it'll be a couple of days. Yeah, next year, you

228
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: just get Matthew Stafford back. Regardless of what they do

229
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: future quarterback plans, I think Stafford is probably still going

230
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: to be pretty good.

231
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Now. Okay, so some titans of our industry in the

232
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: football world have retired over the last week. We're going

233
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: to get to our friend Ron wolf Lee at the

234
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: very end of the show. The Arizona Cardinal is great.

235
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: But first we're going to talk a little bit about

236
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johns.

237
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

238
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: He's been on the air for Fox for thirty one years.

239
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: He is eighty one years old. When I looked up

240
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: his age like a year ago. For some reason. I

241
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: was stunned that Jimmy Johnson was eighty, not just because

242
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: his hair, but he's sharp, a lot of energy, you

243
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: know when you see Jimmy Johnson. That's not true for

244
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: everyone that stays on TV forever, but it was true

245
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Johnson. Just just happy trails, always a pleasant figure

246
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: in the landscape.

247
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it spans multiple generations that have no connection with

248
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: Jimmy Johnson as a football coach, especially right at Miami

249
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 3: right and or with the Dallas Cowboys. They know him

250
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 3: as that you mentioned it, energetic, friendly voice on Sunday mornings,

251
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: and congratulations to at the end of a great career

252
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: navigating triph relationships with Jerry Jones and he finally was

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: able to to heal that thing up like that.

254
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: That's a very difficult thing to do, and he did

255
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: it in his own term. How about them? Coach?

256
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: He also, you know, worked out alongside Terry Bradshaw and

257
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Howie Long that entire time. My first job in sports media,

258
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: I think this is true, was for Fox on the

259
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: Weekends writing shot sheets, as they call him, like a

260
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: floor above Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw. But for James

261
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Brown and mostly Terry Bradshaw to read while they did

262
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: their highlights around two thousand and one, two thousand and

263
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: two summers or football seasons, I believe. Yeah, the two

264
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: thousand and one season was the first one, and that

265
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: was that was a lot of fun. And it was

266
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: the same guys back then. They were they were beloved.

267
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: Everyone just loved them.

268
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's it's rare to keep keep a squad together

269
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: for that long. So congratulations, And now what are we doing?

270
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: What's Fox going to do? Are they putting in that?

271
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they can live without. They have like seventeen

272
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: guys on that right now. It seems like it'd be

273
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: time for Terry bratch Out to step away, but I

274
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be up to him. They're loyal to him.

275
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: He's so he's still there, Howie long still there, gronks

276
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: there unless he is back in the NFL. Like, they

277
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of dudes. A couple just quick items.

278
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: The Packers signed Isaiah mcduffee two years, eight million dollars.

279
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: There's a lot of three down linebackers available. I was

280
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: thinking about that one because there's not really many guys

281
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: in the draft that are highly thought of like that

282
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: might be the number one position to not draft unfortunately,

283
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: because it's so hard, it's so hard to get good

284
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: at it quickly that players really are better by the

285
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: time they get to their end of the contract and

286
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: for some reason, they're all on they're all available. There's

287
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: like seven or eight really good three down linebackers available.

288
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: The Packers decided not to go that route, but they

289
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: like Isaiah mcduffee and they got them for cheap.

290
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

291
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: It feels like a lot of teams are trying to

292
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: up on value on linebackers and they want like edge

293
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: rush potential. So you get a lot of guys that

294
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: are like, like, coming in this year, jahe hot Campbell

295
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: is going to get a lot of attention.

296
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: He's probably a first round pick after that.

297
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, not many, Yeah, and so like it's not necessarily

298
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 3: that level of player an athlete, but you get a

299
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: lot of guys, Well, we can get edge rush value

300
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: in this guy, but this guy is just a just

301
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: a linebaker. But like that idea of just a linebacker,

302
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: I feel like it is going to be falling out

303
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: of vogue after a few teams in situations where it's

304
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: like we really need people to be able to execute

305
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: at this position.

306
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: So hopefully the cycle is coming.

307
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: Back, and there's just less of them. To be fair,

308
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: it used to be there was three of them on

309
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: the field. Now there's two. Sometimes there's one. But just

310
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: a recap, you guys can check out the top one

311
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: to one free agents Zach Bond, Nick Bolton, two big

312
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: time players Ernest Jones who turned the Seahawks season around.

313
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: Those are all Super Bowl champions.

314
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: Dray green Law, who's one of the better linebackers the

315
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: last five or six years. Jamie and Sherwood, who was

316
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: the Jets team MVP last year as voted by the

317
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: players on the team, over Sauce Gardner, over Aaron Rodgers,

318
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: over anyone else that would have been in contention for

319
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: that good player. Robert Splane who who had a great

320
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: career revival with the Raiders, Bobby Wagner, Levonte, David Kaizer White,

321
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: who I had someone tell me what's a top eight

322
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: linebacker in the league. I was like, I love Kaizer White.

323
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty bold. Tyrol Dodson is a good player. E

324
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: J Speed, like Cody Barton. There's just Willie Gay. There's

325
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: lots of guys out there at that position. So I

326
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: just thought I would highlight that as one comes off

327
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: the board, and then yeah, a couple other cuts out there.

328
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Alex Kappa, for instance, with the Bengals is no longer

329
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: and people immediately saying like, oh, let's sign Alex Kapa.

330
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: If the Bengals are cutting you as an offensive lineman

331
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: like they need offensive lineman, that's not a great sign.

332
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: So he is not going into my one oh one

333
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: because to me, that is a red flag that in

334
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: his PFF score.

335
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: But you could make the case though, in support of

336
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: Alex Kappa, the Bengals financial situation maybe devoted elsewhere here

337
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: for a little bit, and maybe to Tea maybe that's yeah.

338
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: But if he was, if he was like an above

339
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: average starter, you're just not going to cut him. His

340
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: number is not too great, not too crazy. All right,

341
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break. We're going to

342
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: preview the AFC East off season, and yes we're going

343
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: to honor mister Wolfe before the show is over. Back

344
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: on NFL Daily and back in the mix with my

345
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: friend Patrick, previewing the off season before it really gets

346
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: going in less than a week. Crazy, So we got

347
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: to get these divisions in and we are going to

348
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: a division that's near and dear to my heart, to Eric,

349
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: our producer's heart, a division the Bills have absolutely dominated

350
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: for the last five years. Pretty good, pretty good. They

351
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: want to take the next step, but you know, enjoy

352
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the good times while they're here. Eric, We're going to

353
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: put seven minutes on the clock and we're going to

354
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: go through all four of these teams breaking down what

355
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: they need to do this offseason. Let's hit it. Patrick,

356
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: O'll kick us off with a question.

357
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we get a team that is in the

358
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: red one of six teams that are in the red

359
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: salary cap wise as of right now. You get one

360
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 3: shot at a restructure for an under thirty year old

361
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 3: Josh Allen still twenty eight years old. You get one

362
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: shot at a restructure. What do you prioritize here with

363
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: this money, with this again just winning an MVP peak

364
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: in the problem of his career. You've got some spots

365
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: on the team, corner, defensive line, wide receiver. Where do

366
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 3: you start with? The limited opportunity of restructure provides you

367
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: on a team that could have won the Super Bowl

368
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 3: last year. Right, But because it's football, randomness happens that

369
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: you know that you don't need to do a lot,

370
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 3: so what do you do with it?

371
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: I think you prioritize defensive difference makers, primarily in the front,

372
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: and that that kind of brings up, you know, another

373
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: way they can make some room, which is cutting von Miller.

374
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: I think that's going to happen. I don't know. If

375
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: they restructure Josh Allen's contract this year, they actually might

376
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: wait another year until, like the money goes up. There

377
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: are a couple guys who have some long term deals

378
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: that they can, you know, squeeze some money, you know,

379
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: some coins from the couch or whatever. At Oliver is one,

380
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: I believe Dion Dawkins is another one. They actually make

381
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: pretty similar base salaries to where Josh Allen is right now.

382
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: So yes, the bills are ten million over the cap

383
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: as we talk. But between those restructures in von Miller,

384
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be able to do it. And yet they

385
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: are a team where I think it affects them because

386
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: I feel like they have a lot of work to do.

387
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. Overall, to me, it's it's a

388
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: little more juice in the front, because maybe it's unfair

389
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: to count on Josh to just make everyone better around him.

390
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: But I think that's working pretty well. The offensive line

391
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: is in good shape too. Yeah, the offensive.

392
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: Line is it's a rarity right when you look around

393
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: the league to see the teams that are in contention,

394
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: have these you know, solid guys up front that aren't

395
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: necessarily agent like you got.

396
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: They're going to be in year three of this exact

397
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: same offensive line. So it's crazy.

398
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: So it ain't broke, But my question is right because

399
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: they are so close, it just feels like you can't

400
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: afford not to try right right, and so like along

401
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: with making the changes, whatever changes you want to make

402
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: to Vaughan's deal, that's one thing, But Josh is the franchise.

403
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: This one, Like, a restructure is not a bad thing.

404
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: It just depends on when you want to.

405
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: Do it right. It's just when you feel like you

406
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: can create the most room. So they could restructure more

407
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: than one. Certainly they need to create open space part

408
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: of the reason. And now transition to some of the

409
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: stuff they can do thinking ahead, They've already resigned Khalils

410
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: Shakir and I was like, wow, that was early, and

411
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: then I looked how many of their players are up

412
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: for free agency next year. It's crazy Christian Benford who

413
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: has evolved into a number one cornerback, a really good player,

414
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: Greg Russou.

415
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: Got to keep them.

416
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean they keep everyone, James Cook, Trull Bernard, maybe

417
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: they don't do an early deal with him. That's a

418
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: lot of their best players are up next season. So

419
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: they are in a really tricky spot. All I'm saying

420
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: is you got to add to this roster. Those guys

421
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 1: are already there, and you're thinking about next year, and

422
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: you're thinking about filling the holes in free agency from

423
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: the guys that are leaving this year.

424
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just that there's not much to add, Like

425
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: I don't think that there's this like oh, because I

426
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: understand the feeling that they got to take a next step.

427
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: Like they're there, They're a good.

428
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: Tention, right, So so how do you facilitate this roster

429
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: in the best way to be to do what they

430
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: need because they're not far. I think some talent in

431
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: the secondary, some talent, some extra talent in depth at

432
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: Russia or the in the interior next to Ed Oliver

433
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 3: takes them where they need to be.

434
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: I just don't feel like they can afford to wait.

435
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: Right, And so Matt Collins, who contributed quite a bit

436
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: to them last year, and a Mari Cooper are both

437
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: free agents. I don't think they're necessarily keeping Amari Cooper,

438
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: but they have Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, and Kean Coleman

439
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: under contract next year. You probably want to add at

440
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: least one receiver. They have two guys in my top actually,

441
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Tamar Hamlin just missed my top one oh one. In

442
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: my top one oh five. Razuel Douglas, who I think

443
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: might be Leaving's kind of just been up and down there,

444
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: so you need another cornerback. And Damar Hamlin. We'll see

445
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: if they bring him back or not. They have drafted

446
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: at that position with Cole Bishop and have some guys

447
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: who have played for them, so it would be a

448
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: shame to see him play elsewhere. But yeah, sometimes I

449
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: think there's this feelings like we got to make a

450
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: big push, but it's like you are there. They've done

451
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: a good job balancing that throughout the last handful of years,

452
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: will staying right at the top, and yet like there's

453
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: it's not an easy offseason for this team without a

454
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: lot of cap space, and you would like a little

455
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: more juice from that wide receiver room other than Kean

456
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: Coleman just getting better.

457
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: Right, And I think it helps to to go ahead

458
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: and lock up Shakira, get that figured out. You can

459
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 3: maybe save some money and relying on Mike White and

460
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: not necessarily have Mitchell Trubisky. I mean that's a smaller

461
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: und three million dollars, but ultimately, like you look, you

462
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: can get good contributing players in that three to five

463
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 3: million dollar range. And so like if the whole plane's

464
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 3: built out of Josh anyway, I think it would be

465
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: tough to rely and project kyer Elm because I know

466
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: he can grow, right to project that growth for him,

467
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: you could not like a not saying like somebody like

468
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: a Sante Samuel Jr. Is like a bargain basement guy.

469
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: But you can draft the corner and bring in not

470
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: top tier free agents but on down the list because

471
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 3: I know, like like somebody like Byron Murphy right would

472
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 3: be be a dream. But I don't I don't think

473
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: they're in that. I don't think Murphy DJ Reid range right.

474
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be spending huge maybe one

475
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: like I think they would spend more on the edge

476
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: if they were gonna spend some money and then maybe

477
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: at receiver. We'll see. By the way, they have an

478
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: extra second round pick from the Vikings did a good

479
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: bit as business part of that Dallas Turner trade where

480
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings, like you know, basically gave up like a

481
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett package to draft Dallas Turner. We'll see how

482
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: that works out. But they do have an extra second

483
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: round pick, so that that is nice for the Bills.

484
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: They do not have their third round pick. They are

485
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: missing that. They gave it last year to the Eagles.

486
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: One of those that always a year later, you're like, oh,

487
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: I gave a twenty four to fourth for a twenty

488
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: you know, once you get to the next year, it's

489
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: very annoying. But they they did one of those where

490
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: they got an extra pick last year. All right, let's

491
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: go to the New York Jets. Twenty three million dollars

492
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: in cap space. There we go, so about average in

493
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: terms of how it goes this year. They have no

494
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: third round pick because of the DeVante Adams trade. That's

495
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: not aging particularly well. But I didn't have a problem

496
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: with it at the time, so I'm not going to

497
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: say I had a problem with it now, but they

498
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: do have Detroit's third round pick that they got in

499
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: one of those similar swaps. I was just talking about

500
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: last year where the Detroit wanted to move up and

501
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: they got an extra third, So they basically have a

502
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: normal array of picks. Look, my question for this team

503
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: is where do they go at quarterback? Weirdly, the Jets

504
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: have not been talked about much in terms of the

505
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: quarterback position, like they were not in on Stafford like

506
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: the Giants were. When you're hearing about Darnold for obvious reasons,

507
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: They're not really talked about there. So I mean, I

508
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: am curious what their approach is going to be at.

509
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: Court Tock Dimes returns to.

510
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Now you got to get him out of the city

511
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: for his own sake. Yeah, I know you're always saying, well,

512
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: New York's just another place to play, but I just

513
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: feel like he needs a new start. Maybe like can

514
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: he go back to Duke, you know, something like that.

515
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, the Panthers just hang out with he Brices

516
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: back up or something, or the Colts, you know like that.

517
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: That makes sense to me. Just something quiet, something where

518
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: you can just go play foosball at night.

519
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's it feels there is talent right

520
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 3: on the same I mean twenty percent of the cap

521
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: over twenty percent of the cap as of right now

522
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: is devoted to DeVante and Aaron Rodgers. Yeah right, and

523
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: so like there's there's some level of hope, like but

524
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: they're like nobody's gonna put them on fraud Watch next

525
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: year because like it's it's argument.

526
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: The rosters looks terrible to me. So I mentioned there's

527
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: twenty three million in cap space. We talked about the

528
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams potential cut and or trade on our last show.

529
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: They can save thirty million dollars just by cutting DeVante Adams.

530
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: That's old school, that's kind of fun. Like that means

531
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: there weren't all these crazy restructures. You know, if they

532
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: trade them, they save plenty as well, and you get

533
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: something back. It'd be over twenty But like they say,

534
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: they save thirty just by cutting them. So right there,

535
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: now you have fifty three million in cap space. Rogers,

536
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: you could actually make the decision to eat all of

537
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: his dead money this year because you opened up so

538
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: much with DeVante, or you could spread it out if

539
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: you chose to. So they have options. They will have

540
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: more than enough money to spend, and to me, it's

541
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: easier to say what they have versus what they need

542
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: because much like the next two teams we're going to

543
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: talk about the Dolphins in the especially the Patriots, they

544
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: have needs almost everywhere. Here's what the Jets do. Have

545
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: a really great young running back room, don't need to

546
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: add to that. Like them, a sneaky gray interior offensive line.

547
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: John Simpson was free agent pickup who played fine for them,

548
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Joe Tipman, who they like was a young center, and

549
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: Elijah Arrah Tucker. So that you've got your interior line,

550
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: that's about it. You also have premier talent, but that doesn't,

551
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, fix your whole position. So you have three

552
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: guys who I would say are absolutely premier players, Quinn Williams,

553
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, and Garrett Wilson, two of whom are up

554
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: for new contract extensions potentially this offseason. And other than that,

555
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: like you really don't have a lot. You have to

556
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: replace almost your entire secondary. You have a ton of backups.

557
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Both your tackles are free agents, your tight ends free

558
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: agent Hassan Raddick who they brought in as a free agent,

559
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Jamien Sherwood's a free agent, like DJ Reid is one

560
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: of my top free agents at cornerback. Like you have

561
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of big time needs, and you have more

562
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: guys from the old regime you might cut. So this

563
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: is a team that I think is a little closer

564
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: to starting over than maybe people realize.

565
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 3: So when you say starting over, would would that mean

566
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: that like a Garrett Wilson or a Sauce Gardner would

567
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: be like trade candidate.

568
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: No, because I think that what's the point of trying

569
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: to find good play you want to build around them.

570
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: But what I mean is there are other guys I

571
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: didn't mention that you could say are likely gone. Alan Lazard.

572
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be around Tyron Smith.

573
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be around DJ Reid.

574
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: Are they going to pay to keep Maybe? Actually, like

575
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: they have the money to do if they liked it.

576
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, like all these positions, all these got. Morgan

577
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: Moses was their starting rate tackle. He's a free agent.

578
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: You only have like five, six, seven starters when I

579
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: look up and down the list, that's kind of crazy.

580
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: It's actually one of the lower numbers in the entire league.

581
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: So the Jets, they're really going to test their new

582
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: general manager, Darren Muji.

583
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: You do get Jermaine Johnson hopefully back after the injury,

584
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: so you get some talent back there.

585
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: Like there's Olufashionu looks like a left tackle starter for

586
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: the future.

587
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: There's places to make this team viable. But whether it's

588
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: you know, trying to make a case for Kirk, you know,

589
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: over over Cleveland, maybe that that that what's your whistle

590
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: a little bit more than dimes.

591
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: Perhaps, Yeah, they if people forgot the Jets, you know.

592
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: Of course, with Aaron Glenn as the new head coach,

593
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: hired a man named Tanner Engstron as his offensive coordinator,

594
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: a young, up and coming, innovative mind. By all accounts

595
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: that was a passing game coordinator for the Lions, and

596
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: so Aaron Glenn knew him there. And if Aaron Glenn

597
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: is like his old boss Dan Campbell, he's he's good

598
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: at finding the right people to hire. But man, they

599
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: are really kind of starting over from scratch, and it's

600
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: there's just a little bit there's a little bit of

601
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: bad buzz about Darren Moujie. I'm gonna say it, like

602
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: not much of a presence at the Comonium combine buzz. Yeah,

603
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh no, just like was maybe a

604
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: surprising hire that some people might interpret that a guy

605
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: that's hired so that other people can kind of be

606
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: more powerful. I don't know who that would be exactly.

607
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Glenn would be number one. That's maybe

608
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: more of the Aaron Glenn Show. They also hired Rick

609
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Spielman from the thirty third team as a special advisor.

610
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: He's a long time and quite successful general manager. By

611
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: the way, with the Vikings and Mujie, there was a

612
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: little bit of buzz of like was he a guy

613
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: that was even on the outs in Denver? I don't know,

614
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: just a little bit of a strange situation. There's always

615
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: something strange with the Jets. Just throwing that out there.

616
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: I believe in Darren Muji. Okay, the combound buzz is

617
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: not convincing me.

618
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Okay. My main point though, is this is a team

619
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: that has a lot to address wide receiver. After Garrett

620
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Wilson both tackle spots, your quarterback spot, you still need

621
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: a little more at edge. We're kind of back to

622
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: the old Jets phrase. You know, they haven't had a

623
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: pass Ressueran a while. Well, they have had some recently,

624
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: but they don't have one right now on the edge.

625
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, most of their secondary, including their entire safety group.

626
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: So a lot of needs for the Jets. Let's go

627
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins. I'm on the clock, Patrick, kick

628
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: us off.

629
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: The Dolphins do not have the burden that the Bills do.

630
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: They are not in the Red.

631
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: They are four hundred and twenty two thousand dollars away

632
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: from being in the red, dead last in the NFL

633
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: among teams that have some simbilance of cap space right now.

634
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: The team plagued by injuries. Bradley Chubb injured in his

635
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: time there. There was a reduced capability by both Tyreek

636
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: Hill and Jalen Waddell to his bouts with brain injuries

637
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: of course a pre eminent issue in the minds of

638
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: Dolphins fans. At what point are the McDaniel era Dolphins

639
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: a question of whether or not they're viable?

640
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right now? Now is the point. Now they're in

641
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: the off season, and they managed to be good enough

642
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: last year that yeah, they were competitive, But going through

643
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: this exercise and thinking about all that they need, I

644
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: started to think, Man, this is under the radar team

645
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: to be picking in the top five next year if

646
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: they don't have a really good offseason now. Chris career,

647
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: he's had some bad off seasons, he's had some great offseasons.

648
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: Like it's been up and down. The drafts mostly have

649
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: not been amazing. He needs to have his best off

650
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: season now because I think their offensive line, their entire

651
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: safety group, like they're a team that where if you

652
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: look at their backup position, for instance, on our lads,

653
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: like it's all in the red. They just need a

654
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: lot all at once, and don't They don't look especially

655
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: viable right now to me, which is why this is

656
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: an important off season and exercise. Doesn't mean you can't

657
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: you fill in a lot of holes, but they're gonna

658
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: have to find some money to do so.

659
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 3: And it's weird because normally you look at a team

660
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: in a cap situation like this and it's like, oh, well,

661
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 3: like for the with the Bills, you look at von

662
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: Miller and it's just kind of jumping out at you.

663
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: But like the Tyreek Dill not like you right.

664
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you really want to restructure Tyrek o? The

665
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: trade talk has kind of quieted down, but you never

666
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: know Jalen.

667
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: Ramsey has played well and been a good part of

668
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,239
Speaker 3: this defense, and they got huge contributions because like this

669
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: time last year, like Chop Robinson was the workout warrior

670
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: and you're just hoping to get a little bit of production.

671
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: In terms of that, that.

672
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: Was a huge success, great pick. He looks like a

673
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: future star.

674
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 3: But even considering those those bonuses, the team is still

675
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: still where it is, and you've got so many spots,

676
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: whether it's at cornerback, whether especially on the offensive line

677
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: where you know Toront Armstead is you know, delaying this

678
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: kind of retirement stay go decision.

679
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: There is an update on that. He did restructure his

680
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: contract and so that hasn't shown up on over the

681
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: cap and yet that should free up twelve thirteen fourteen

682
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: million dollars in cap space a little and clear how

683
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: much it'll be he according to Ian Rappaport, he is

684
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: now going down to the minimum salary to, in Ian's words,

685
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: delay his decision, keep the door open if he wants

686
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: to return. But often that's actually an accounting maneuver that

687
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: teams that don't mind spending a little extra cash. This

688
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: is what an owner that likes to spend can do

689
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: for you ultimately an accounting maneuver to open up cap

690
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: space when Toront Armstead has probably gone to retire and

691
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Steven Ross, who has had his mistakes as Dolphins owner,

692
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: for sure, is not afraid to spend. It's the reason

693
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: why the Dolphins finished tied for first in the NFLPA

694
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: players certainly because their facilities are so nice and all

695
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: the players are treated well and so credit to him,

696
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: and so he's gonna They're gonna find a way to

697
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: spend the money. And yet it's just hard to find

698
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: enough good players to put onto this team.

699
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the issue at the spots where they need them.

700
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: I think they got good contributions from Patrick Paul. I

701
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 3: don't know how much you can rely on town on

702
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 3: like how much.

703
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: He is probably their left tackle. So Patrick Quall was, Yeah,

704
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: their second round pick from a year ago.

705
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: And so you get good contributions from from a rookie there.

706
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: But there's there's more work to be done than there

707
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 3: is than there's work that that can be done on

708
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 3: this roster.

709
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: And you're gonna have to have everybody come back. You're

710
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: gonna have to.

711
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: Have relationships mended with Tyreek, You're gonna have to have

712
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: guys get healthy like Bradley Chubb and you know, Jalen

713
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 3: Waddle and keep two on the field all season, and

714
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 3: then you may just be in this situation again next.

715
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: You know.

716
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: Offense, I don't think they're far away. I should. I

717
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: should be careful when I say offensive line. You need

718
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Paul to play well, but you drafted him in

719
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: the second round to be your left tackle. That's probably

720
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: what he's gonna be. You need to fix the entire

721
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: guard position, and they've been trying to do that for

722
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: years and haven't been able to do it. So they

723
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: need multiple guards. But they got a free agent pick

724
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: up last year. They liken Aaron Brewer. They've signed Austin Jackson,

725
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: who's been up and down, but you know he's signed

726
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: long term. And your skill position guys for the most part,

727
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: are all back. They cut Raheem Moster, but you need

728
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: a healthy to it. But you have Wattle and Tyreek.

729
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: You don't have any depth there in general, but that's

730
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: been the case. It's defense where we receiveing more key players.

731
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Javon Holland's one of my top safeties that's available. Jordan

732
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: Poyer didn't quite work out with him, So you need

733
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: a couple of safeties. You could use a cornerback. Kalais

734
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: Campbell as a free agent was very valuable that you

735
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: need some defensive lineman right now. In terms of upfront

736
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: guys on the defensive line, Zack Steeler is literally the

737
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: only guy in the entire roster, which is a little problematic.

738
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm not counting Chop Robinson, who's more

739
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: of an edge. But when they are in like a

740
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: base three four, it's like Zach Seeler and a couple

741
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: guys that are that are free agents, so they just

742
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do. And it's a

743
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: tricky situation where Chris ge Greer is definitely trying to

744
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: keep his job and Mike McDaniel needs a big year

745
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: back last decade, every once in a while, the Dolphins

746
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: would pop up as that team that just went crazy

747
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Maybe they're that team this offseason. Do

748
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: you think so they'll just find a way to do it. Yeah.

749
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how or what, but they seem desperate,

750
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: don't you. I think this roster is in desperate need

751
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: of so good players.

752
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 3: I think in terms of our positionally that they they've

753
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: gone in the Jhona Smith is a great pickup. I

754
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: think I've a spectacular I think they need another tight end.

755
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: They need a blocking tight end, or just invest in

756
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 3: the interior of the offensive line. But with what with

757
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: what money? You know, maybe you draft.

758
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: Three guys restructure some of these deals. Bradley Chubb I

759
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: think will be cut. That is my prediction. I'm not

760
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: not rooting for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if

761
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb got cut to open up some space. If

762
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,479
Speaker 1: only you could trade cap space, because yeah, let's wrap

763
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: up with the Patriots. You can, can you could they

764
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: just like.

765
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: You, trade it to the player and compensate.

766
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Could they trade like fifteen million

767
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: dollars of their cap space to a team that needs

768
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: it for a fourth round pick or something? That would

769
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: be cool because the Patriots have too much cap space.

770
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: They have one hundred and twenty seven million dollars in

771
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: cap space. That's ridiculous. They have the number four pick

772
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: in the draft because they beat the Bills backups in

773
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. It was their backups mostly too, but still annoying. Man,

774
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 1: they could just be at one and just draft Travis

775
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Hunter or trade. If someone wanted to trade for camp Warden,

776
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 1: maybe they could get Travis Hunter. That's who I want.

777
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: They have an extra third round pick from the Matthew

778
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: Judan trade. So everyone in New England who's picking on

779
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: Elliot Wolf, they hate Elliott Wolf for whatever reason. I

780
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: guess he had a bad year. That's something good he

781
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: did for you. What do the Patriots prioritize first? Because

782
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: it's almost overwhelming everything they need, But what like, what

783
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: is the over arching vision of this new Rabel Elliot Wolf?

784
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: But we don't really necessarily think that Elliot Wolf is

785
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,479
Speaker 1: the one with the juice. I think it's Rabel who's

786
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: kind of running this organization.

787
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: I think it's the interior of the offensive defensive lines. Okay,

788
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: they go straight to NFL dot com slash Rosenthal, they

789
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: get on the top one on one and they and

790
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: they call guys like Cam Robinson right that they make

791
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: these these calls out to tackles and guards who aren't

792
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 3: necessarily like the top of the market guys, but who

793
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 3: have played on contending teams in the past and played

794
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: so at a decent level to where you can just

795
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 3: get and again not value shopping but getting players who

796
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 3: are good on this football team.

797
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley buzz Yeah.

798
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: Ronnie Stanley would be one hundred and twenty seven million dollars.

799
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: I think, like I think back to last week right

800
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 3: where you asked Ryan Poles kind of team have too

801
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: much cap space? And then he scared both of us

802
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 3: because he's like, well no, and it's like, wait, no, no,

803
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: you want to spend the money. You and I understand

804
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: you can roll it over to next year. Yeah, but

805
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 3: there's only so many years that are available to do

806
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: something like this, and so you have all that money,

807
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: why not as much as I would love Ronnie Stanley

808
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 3: to be playing for the Baltimore Ravens next year, Yeah,

809
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: you make him an offer, and you you know, you

810
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 3: change your team because, like Drake May is all that matters.

811
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: Like I've learned this in weeks of discussing this with you.

812
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, you make Drake May as protected as possible.

813
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Now you want a positive Yeah, not a lot of

814
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: impact free agents on this team.

815
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: That's the good news to the bad news.

816
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jacobe Brissette, they need a backup quarterback, although they

817
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: probably find and rolling with Joe Milton. You kind of

818
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 1: like to have a veteran in there, maybe I would.

819
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 1: The New England media actually tried to pedal this whole

820
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: Joe Milton is available. That didn't really catch, Like would

821
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: someone give up like a third for Joe Milton and

822
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: they would do that because Joe Milton looked pretty sweet.

823
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: I feel like some Centtans would give up with a

824
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 2: three or four.

825
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I think they would do that for maybe not.

826
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots would do that. They would just

827
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: feel like they're selling high. I don't know why. I

828
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: have a good young quarterback Jonathan Jones who's been there

829
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: forever I feel like will probably wind up leaving Dititch wise,

830
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: not a lot of big names in terms of guys

831
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: that could be leaving. Devon Gottscha was also reported as

832
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: available for a trade, so it looks like he will

833
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: probably be released if they do not find a trade

834
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: for him or Joe Milton. And yeah, people have this

835
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: idea that I think, you know, Mike Rabel, you got

836
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: to take a tackle early or it's all about like

837
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: protecting Drake May and improving everything around. I hope that's

838
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: the case, because when I think Mike Rabel, I think

839
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: he's just gonna want big, nasty like defensive players, and

840
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: he's just going to want to make his defense as

841
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: big and as athletic as possible.

842
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Patriots roster is good enough

843
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 3: to try to like pick at a position of you know,

844
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 3: personal desire, like like the way Kyle Shanahan drafts, like

845
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 3: the late rounds. I think they really can just and

846
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: it's cliche, sit there and take the best player on

847
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: the board, which I think right Travis Hunter would would

848
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 3: be nice.

849
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: I would love that. Give me some Travis Hunter. Kean

850
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: White should be back. He kind of had problems with

851
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: the old regime. Christian Barmore. They don't know because of

852
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: his blood clout situation. So there really aren't many positions

853
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: where you feel like you're a set maybe guard if

854
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: they believe Cole Strange and Mike when you like there's

855
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: a couple of guards. You've definitely got enough number three receivers,

856
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: You've got like four of them, but you need some

857
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: number two and number one receivers. It's a little anxiety

858
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: inducing as a Patriots fan though, to see all that

859
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: cap space and just think they're going to be the

860
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: team that feels like because they could spend sixty million

861
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: dollars in that cap space and they'd still have sixty

862
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: left over. And there's not like sixty good million out

863
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: there to spend. Really, I don't know, is there you can.

864
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: You can make the offers sixty more than sixty million

865
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: dollars is going to be spent in free agency here

866
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 3: in the next couple of weeks, right correctly?

867
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: So, I mean, and like you know, but even if

868
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: you signed like a Ronnie Stanley, how much is he

869
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: costing on this year's cap? You could also front load

870
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: things to just since you have all that kind of space,

871
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: use it that way. But either way, like there's not

872
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: enough good players out there to spend all that money.

873
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: I really, I really am curious how this is going

874
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: to go. For Elliot Wolf and Mike Rabel in New England.

875
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: You probably don't know about this, but there's like all

876
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: this controversy of like why does Elliott Wolf say he

877
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: has final say? Why is he speaking at the GM

878
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: Elliot Wolf people are very angry about and they just

879
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: want Mike Rabele to be in charge, and like why

880
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: does Elliot Wolf have the final say? And first of all,

881
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: is like Mike Rabel probably ultimately does like he has

882
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: the second of all, is it that great that a

883
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: guy who's your coach is I don't know, just making

884
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: all the decisions. I am. I'm a little worried about

885
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: the whole setup.

886
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Eliot Wolf exists right to draw their iron

887
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 3: criticism as a shield for Mike Rabel, who's ultimately and again,

888
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 3: there's a whole there's a whole coalition of folks in

889
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 3: Foxboro who are going to make the decisions. But yeah,

890
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 3: it would make sense for Mike ver Able to have

891
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: significant input.

892
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: Right because when I, of course, and uh like, I

893
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: look at the free agent class and I want them

894
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: to add like they could use one of those off

895
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: ball linebackers I talked to about. I think, spend the

896
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: money where the players are actually good, which is there's

897
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: a decent amount of players in the secondary. Could you

898
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: get a Charvarius Ward or someone like that, or a

899
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: Sante Samuel bring him to New England after all the

900
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: issues with his dad. There's good safeties out there. But

901
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: don't just spend just to spend. Don't add a third

902
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: another third receiver, like we don't. They don't need to

903
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: add Elijah more to this group, you know what I mean? Like,

904
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: there's not top tier receivers. They don't need to add

905
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: Darius Layton. Even though Darius Layton will help a team

906
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: out there, it's not the Jets. You don't need to

907
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: add Naje Harris or JK. Dobbins to this group good players,

908
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: but like you have Ramandra and two, don't be adding

909
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: one of Eric smiling because the one team we got

910
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: to seven minutes on was the Patriots. Of course, the

911
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: only one.

912
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: Shut up.

913
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: Let's wrap the show talking about our friend. We heard

914
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: the news in Indianapolis and it was so much the

915
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: process that we wanted to give it. It's full yeah,

916
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: let it breathe full impact today. Over the years, Patrick,

917
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 1: we have enjoyed listening to the vocal stylings of Ron

918
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: Wolfley on the Arizona Cardinals broadcast.

919
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: That is absolutely huge right.

920
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: There, Like what what what about him?

921
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: Sticks out to you? The fact that he sticks out

922
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: at all. You know, as we get into these later

923
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: stages of capitalism, there is an extent of sameness everywhere,

924
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 3: similar stylings, speech patterns, and this this non regional dialect

925
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 3: that US broadcasters have. It's nice, it's standard, and it works,

926
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 3: and it's worked for upwards of sixty years, kind of

927
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: mimicking a Midwestern like an Ohio type deal.

928

931
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: not like shit, it's time to talk about.

932
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 3: The news, Like we got rid of that and then

933
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 3: we went to what we have now. And to have

934
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 3: somebody still be unique in doing it and have people

935
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,640

936
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 3: about Ron and I hope he's able to enjoy retirement.

937
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to know where he got these phrases from

938
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: because they always seem like they were off the dome.

939
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: But did he just have like seventy different phrases that

940
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: he could just always pull upon in the biggest of

941
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: moments or do was he just coming up with it?

942
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have him on sometimes.

943
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a rolodex of terms and idioms that just

944
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 3: seem to apply.

945
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know even what accent he had. Maybe

946
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: it's Pittsburgh, I think that is maybe where he's from.

947
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 3: But he's from But regardless of the accents, like the

948
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 3: vocal stylingce or so inherently and I'm glad that we

949
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 3: get another one.

950
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,600

Speaker 2: Ron's there.

953
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 3: from his brother right that we were able to experience

954

Speaker 3: in Arizona.

00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: I loved it, and I love when you talk about

956
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: the stages of capitalism. It really gets a big reaction

957
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,360
