Speaker 4: Wise at the newsdesk.

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: But let's get started with the quarterback carousel, because Carmi,

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: it's almost complete. Almost So are some big names obvious

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: still on the market. Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson. I think

61
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: everyone's kind of waiting on is there Aaron Rodgers gonna?

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: Is he gonna play? Is he gonna keep everyone making?

63
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: Your choices are Aaron Rodgers than Russell Wilson. Aaron Rodgers

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: is still probably your better.

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: The option, and that's kind of what we're hearing. We'll

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: get like deeper into that in a sec. But did

67
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: you see the photo that went viral of him like

68
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: this on the beast in the yeah, with his headphones in,

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: like just looking out at the ocean.

70
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: It was so beautifully dramatic.

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Like also like he's not going to make his decision

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: this weekend, Like he understands the news. He understands the news,

73
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: and he understands when he can be like the center

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: in the face of it. So like he's making he's

75
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: taking his time. He's taking his time. But that's okay,

76
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a bit. Let's start with

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: new faces in new places quarnerback Edition. Let's start with

78
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: your boy, Sam Darnold to the Seahawks three years, one

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: hundred point five million dollars fifty five million guaranteed.

80
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: Now, the Gino Smith trade to Vegas makes sense.

81
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: They had plan, but Sam really saved his career last

82
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: season in Minnesota, so it's crazy to think that like

83
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: he was brought in as that kind of like veteran

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: presence but it was still like gonna be possibly he

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: was a bridge. Yeah, it was gonna be JJ until

86
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: he got injured. And then Sam Donald had a career season.

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: He was top five and passing touchdowns, passing yards. Vikings

88
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: went fourteen and three. Kevin O'Connell did an incredible job

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: setting Sam up for.

90
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: Kevin O'Connell school for kids who can't Q be good

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: and you want to do other things really good too. Yes,

92
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 5: that's what I got referring it to like referring to

93
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: it as and I stand by.

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: Love a good Zoolander job. Now he had the weapons,

95
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: though he had justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Aaron Jones.

96
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 5: In the backfield, had a pretty good offensive line those

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 5: two tackles before Christian dar went down. They've only gotten

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 5: better along the offensive line now too.

99
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: But so when you look at the situation in Seattle,

100
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna see I think really quickly. Was Sam Donald

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: great or was he a product of the system in Minnesota?

102
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 4: In Minnesota, yeah, Causeta.

103
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: Had one of the worst offensive lines last seats and

104
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: they were thirty first. They haven't really addressed the oliney it.

105
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: They've got a couple new faces. They have kind of

106
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: filled the big holes that we thought that they lost

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: when they lost DK and Tyler Lockett. But they picked

108
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: up Cooper CuPy yesterday who is still a top wide

109
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: receiver if he can stay healthy, Marquees Valdez Scantling, DeMarcus Lawrence.

110
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: Like they they filled the pieces that they lost, big names,

111
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: and it's starting to make sense of what they're gonna filled.

112
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: But Seattle, the biggest distinction here is did they upgrade?

113
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 5: And I don't think they did, And a lot of

114
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 5: and now a lot of it hinges on whether or

115
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 5: not Sam Darnold is the Sam Donald from.

116
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: Last year that's well and also like, again, was he

117
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: a product of the system in Minnesota and everything that

118
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: he was like set up for success there, or is

119
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: he can he be that great somewhere else on an.

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: Entirely new system with lesser weapons and a worse offensive line,

121
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: because let's let's not forget who Sam Donald was before

122
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 5: he got to Minnesota, and that was a guy that

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: was very sensitive to pressure and didn't really process things well.

124
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 5: He will be in a completely new system under Clint Kubiak,

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 5: who the Seahawks just signed as their offensive coordinator this offseason.

126
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 5: As well, So it's a new system for everybody. There

127
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 5: are new weapons involved. I appreciate that they went out

128
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 5: and they still got a veteran y And I understand

129
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 5: the move from Seattle's perspective, given the fact that Cooper

130
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 5: Cup was about half of expense, half as expensive as

131
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 5: DK Metcalf's contract was with the Steelers.

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: So I get that aspect of it.

133
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: You still have Jackson Smith Njibba, who is a budding

134
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 5: young superstar as far as wide receivers go. But all

135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 5: of this hinges on whether or not Sam Donald is

136
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: the guy he was last year or if he regresses

137
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: in a new system, And we don't know the answer

138
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 5: to that yet. So the Seahawks are gambling. Yeah, that's

139
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 5: the That's the best way I can describe it is.

140
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: I get that they had to get younger, they had

141
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: to get rid of some you know, some big time contracts,

142
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 5: all of that kind of stuff. They had to get cheaper.

143
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 5: But you have now for a team that was on

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: the cusp of the playoffs last year and has been

145
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: one of those bubble teams for the last few years.

146
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: They've been close. Yeah.

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: Can you sit.

148
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: There as a Seahawks fan and say I feel good

149
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 5: about what my team did as far as improving our

150
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: chances to make it and thrive in the postseason.

151
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: I don't think you can say that now. Is there

152
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: room still for this to go right?

153
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: Absolutely, but now you've hinged everything on a quarterback that

154
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 5: essentially is again on a prove it deal. That's the

155
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: thing is Seattle was smart with the way they did

156
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: the contract with Sam Darnold. Very much the Baker, and

157
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: they can get out of it after a year, very

158
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 5: much the Baker.

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

160
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: I have been after a year or two years. This

161
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: is the Baker Mayfield contract essentially, which I think everybody

162
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: knew is what Sam Darnold was going to fetch. But

163
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: it's just it's this year in particular that you need

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 5: to figure out.

165
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: And I do think that this was probably your.

166
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: Best bet as far as what the objectives were that

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: you need to accomplish if you're Seattle. Yeah, and what

168
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: who was available on the court in the quarterback market,

169
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: And the answer was Sam Darnold was the best option.

170
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: They needed a plug and play someone that I.

171
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 5: Could Yeah, and you don't you don't want to take

172
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 5: a chance with any of the guys in the draft

173
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 5: it's not a good class.

174
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: It wasn't a good free agent class though either.

175
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: That's that's the thing. So, yeah, you made the best

176
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: of that situation. But it's a huge gamble.

177
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean again, I think the gamble is

178
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: is he going to be a bridge or is he

179
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: your future? Like that? That's what we're going to find out.

180
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that so they're set up a contract in

181
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: a way that like they can a lot of these

182
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 5: three year deals are really one year or max two

183
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 5: year deals that you can get out of pretty quickly.

184
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: Uh and and so I get it from that perspective,

185
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: but this is a whole new system under Clint Kubiak,

186
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: and I just other than the the three the first

187
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 5: three games of the Saints season last year, I don't

188
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: know that Clint Kubiak is like the guy that.

189
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 3: We all want him to be. Yeah, I want him

190
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: to Yeah.

191
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 5: I mean those first three games in New Orleans last year,

192
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 5: we were like, oh, we were all wrong about the Saints.

193
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we weren't.

194
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: No, no, But when you look at their Division two,

195
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: like it's not a cakewalk, Rams are a clear number

196
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: one right now with Stafford saying bringing DeVante Adams and

197
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: really filling in all the other holes that they have,

198
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, letting a lot of guys go. Still

199
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what they're going to be. We're

200
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: gonna talk to Tracy Sandler in a bit like are

201
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: they in a rebuild? Do they have a plan, Like

202
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: what's going to happen there? And Cardinals still.

203
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: Like they're sending I mean they're.

204
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: They're close, but they're not there yet.

205
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like they have, they have talent, and I

206
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 5: believe in Jonathan Gannon as a coach, and I do

207
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 5: think that one more off season will see them get

208
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: more talent and fill some of the holes that they

209
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 5: need to. I completely expect the Cardinals to be good

210
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: this year. Yeah, and to contend in that division. And

211
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: so it's not a camp. No, they're competitive.

212
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: So there's just there are a lot of question marks

213
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: in this division. I think Rams are in like a

214
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: very tight two year window left with Stafford to try

215
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: and go for that Super Bowl again. But yeah, it's

216
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: going to be interesting. This year will be very telling

217
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: for Sam Donald. We wishim the best because I want

218
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: to see people say I.

219
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: Love Sam Donald. I've been a proponent of Sam.

220
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: I love a comeback story, and that was like the

221
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: most epic comeback story we've seen in a while for.

222
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 4: A person's career. So yeah, okay, another new face in

223
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: a new place.

224
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: Your boy, Justin Fields to the Jets two years, forty

225
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: million dollars, thirty million guaranteed. He had a decent season

226
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: with the Steelers last year he went foward to as

227
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: a starter, averaged one hundred and eighty four point three

228
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: passing yards per game, ten touchdowns, only two turnovers. But

229
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: now he's getting that real shot to be a starter again.

230
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: But like Sam Donald, this is going to be a

231
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: make or break season for him.

232
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: So this makes a lot of sense to me actually,

233
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 5: for a lot of reasons. When you consider who the

234
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: head coach in New York now is, Saron Glenn. Who

235
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 5: did Aaron Glenn have to game plan for for the

236
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 5: last few years when he was in Detroit, he had

237
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 5: a game plan for Justin Fields. And if you're attacking

238
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: this from a defensive mind, from a defensive coordinator's perspective,

239
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: defensive coordinators do the quarterback position as who is hard

240
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 5: to game plan for and as far as Justin Field's

241
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: skill set goes in theory, in theory, because he's such

242
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 5: a good runner.

243
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: He's such a good athlete. That is a headache for a.

244
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: Defensive coordinator to have to deal with, because not only

245
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 5: do you have to deal with maybe him throwing the ball,

246
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: obviously he can run it. Like all of these things.

247
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 5: He's a tough runner. He can do a lot of things.

248
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: It's hard to game plan for a guy like Justin Fields.

249
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 5: So I understand the draw on Aaron Glenn's part to

250
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 5: wanting Justin Fields to be the quarterback in New York.

251
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 5: Do I think that it's going to go well, I

252
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: don't know.

253
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

254
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: I think that he is a perfectly like here's my

255
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: thing with Justin Fields.

256
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: I will reiterate it again. People in Chicago think I

257
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 3: hate him. I do not. I don't think.

258
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: That he is over the top elite when it comes

259
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 5: to quarterback play.

260
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: I think he is an elite athlete.

261
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 5: If you're gonna, if you're gonna assign Justin Fields in

262
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 5: a trait that is elite. It is his athleticism. It

263
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: is what he can do with his legs. It is

264
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: the way that he moves and contorts his body and

265
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: can get out of situations sometimes. But as far as

266
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: the processing and the going through your progressions and understanding,

267
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 5: truly understanding what you're looking at when you are looking

268
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 5: at an opposing defense.

269
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: I have not seen him be able to do that.

270
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 5: At an elite level, and he has now had multiple

271
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: stops to try.

272
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't do.

273
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: You believe do you believe he had the right coaching

274
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: pairing line protection.

275
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 5: There has absolutely been reasons why he was not set

276
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 5: up to succeed. But at some point or another, you

277
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 5: need to show more despite what surrounded us.

278
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: This is a big chance, Like this is like you

279
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: the chance to have a new comeback story, similar to

280
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold last year, like prove everybody wrong.

281
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: That was the first round pedigree. When you're a first

282
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: round pick, that follows you. Yeah, And that is something

283
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: that has followed justin fields and is why I think

284
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 5: that there are so many people that are still willing

285
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 5: to take chances on him despite the fact that he's

286
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 5: been in the league for four years now. Is well,

287
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: he was a first round quarterback. He was this guy

288
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 5: at Ohio State. Why can't he be that guy again?

289
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 5: And the truth of the matter is some of those

290
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 5: quarterbacks can never make that jump. But when you are

291
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: a first round talent, people will keep giving you those shots.

292
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: And again from the New York Jets perspective, from Aaron

293
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 5: Glenn specifically's perspective, I absolutely understand why they were drawn

294
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: to Justin Fields as their quarterback. I hope it works

295
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 5: out for them. Again and again, it's it's a pretty

296
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you did guarantee him thirty million dollars, which

297
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: is it's kind of hefty for a guy that hasn't

298
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 5: on a whole lot as far as being a cent quarterback.

299
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: It makes him feel valued, which I think is important.

300
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: Does but do you are you sticking with him then?

301
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 5: Like is this your guy of the future? Do you

302
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: know that already? Like I don't need my guy. If

303
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, I don't need to make

304
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 5: you feel valued yet, Like I mean they needed Do

305
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: you want to retain someone?

306
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

307
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be important for the Jets

308
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: now to kind of have this fresh start post Aaron Rodgers,

309
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: where everything was centered around him, Like, now you have

310
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: a guy coming in that the locker room loves. That

311
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: was his reputation, right, Yeah, he's a great and everybody

312
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: loved him. So I think this is going to be

313
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: a really good fresh start for him. For the Jets,

314
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: they still have Garrett Wilson as their top target. They're

315
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: middle of the pack o line. Last season they just

316
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: wow another center and a tackle. Sauce Gardner has been

317
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: really happy the whole thing last year.

318
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: With Pittsburgh though, where it was like Justin Fields is

319
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 5: getting a nap.

320
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 4: Good like Pittsburgh day.

321
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: I don't assign wins to the quarterback. I do not

322
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: assign wins to the quarterback. He was four and two

323
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 5: as a starter, But that to me says more about

324
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 5: the guys around him than it does about what he did.

325
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Did he lead the team to those winds?

326
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 6: No?

327
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: He did.

328
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: He was good enough.

329
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 5: He was, Yes, he was good enough. But is good

330
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: enough franchise?

331
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: No?

332
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: But I also now, you had a season where you

333
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: had a little taste of still being.

334
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: A starter about for Russell Wilson, and then you.

335
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: Sat behind a starter that does something to you mentally,

336
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: and hopefully that triggered something in.

337
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: His benching scenario, though it could.

338
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: Motivate you more like I don't want to be back

339
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: to doing this again where I'm sitting behind someone else.

340
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: I got to give it everything. I got right now

341
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: to prove that I deserve to.

342
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: Be k I liked the Pittsburgh signing when he was

343
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: going to start the year as a guy behind Russell Wilson,

344
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 5: and that didn't work out because Russcott injured, and so

345
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: then to have to go through being benched, I don't know.

346
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 5: I just I hope he bounces back, like I said,

347
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: but I don't.

348
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 6: I don't.

349
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: I didn't like that dynamic.

350
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 5: And also again, the league is telling you what they

351
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: think of Justin Fields when he gets benched for Russell Wilson,

352
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 5: who in the beginning did well, but then tape it off.

353
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: Did Justin Fields come back in in packages but not

354
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 5: as the starter?

355
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: So that's where I'm coming from.

356
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: Where I'm like, every team he's been on shows you

357
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 5: what they think of him, and he's still getting these

358
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: shots to the franchise. And if I'm a New York

359
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 5: Jets fan and my fan livelihood rests on this guy, now,

360
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 5: I'm nervous.

361
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Jeff fans should be nervous. In general,

362
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: it's been.

363
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 5: I mean they're always nervous, and I feel badly for

364
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 5: Jets fans.

365
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: I really do want things to work out, and I do.

366
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: Think Aaron Glenn is a guy that can turn a

367
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: lot around. I'm such a believer in a g I

368
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 5: just I hate it for Jets fans to just have

369
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 5: to keep doing this.

370
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: Is this okay? Is this gonna work? I don't know.

371
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 4: Are they like the longest playoff drought?

372
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, the longest playoff drought in the NFL?

373
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: It might be the longest fourteen Do you have a

374
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: Jets fan here?

375
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: I'm a Jets fan. I like you that. I like

376
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: you feel about having Justin Fields as a quarterback.

377
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's hard to be super excited about it,

378
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 7: but it's like who else was out there? You guys

379
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 7: have been kind of touching on it. It's like who

380
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 7: else would have been? Russell Wilson.

381
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: But would you rather like traded with Atlanta to get

382
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins?

383
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: Do you want like old do you want old veteran?

384
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: Or do you want like possibility of maybe a resurgence

385
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: in a career, young guy, very athletic.

386
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 7: With the options out there, it's just a bad year

387
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 7: to need a quarterback. So with the options that are

388
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 7: out there, yeah, he's just the most exciting. So at

389
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 7: least there's like you know, an exciting aspect of being

390
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 7: a fan. How are you gonna sell like Carson Wentz

391
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 7: or Marcus Mario to the fan base? You know, like

392
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 7: at least Fields give you some exciting. There's some upside.

393
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 7: Run theoretically, yes, scally theoretically.

394
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: Man, we're going to take a quick break here when

395
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: we come back. Another fan base. I'm sorry, guys, cowboys

396
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: making the headlines.

397
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 3: But not for that so weird that's weird or the

398
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: moves that they made.

427
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to this cowboy beef, because once again

428
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: cowboys are making the headlines, but not for the moves

429
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: they made, but more player, former player.

430
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: And drama cowboys at all.

431
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence, who is now a Seahawk, was recently talking

432
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: about Dallas and said change of scenery is always good,

433
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: but you know, Dallas is my home.

434
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: I made my home there. You know, my family lives there.

435
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: I'm forever going to be there, but I know for

436
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: sure I'm not going to win a Super Bowl there,

437
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: so yeah, we're here now.

438
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he ain't wrong.

439
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: Dallas is not making Super Bowl contending moves right now,

440
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: but his former teammate Michael Parsons has something to say

441
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: about it and tweeted back at him, this is what

442
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: rejection and envy looks like.

443
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: This some clown stuff.

444
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: DeMarcus responded to Micah saying calling me a clown won't change.

445
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: The fact that I told the truth.

446
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning,

447
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have left.

448
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 4: And then with a little devil face.

449
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm like Maria Kono, I love messy. Okay, I

450
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: will say, yeah, no, Tank Delaw did not lie, But

451
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: it would hit so much harder if he went to

452
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: an actual contender. Because we just talked about the Seahawks

453
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: being like they're taking gambles.

454
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: We don't know what the Seahawks are going to be.

455
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: Are they in any better of a position than the

456
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys right now?

457
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: You could argue that they're not. It's one thing to say.

458
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: That maybe not as hard as a division right now?

459
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: No, But like, do the Seahawks have a better chance

460
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 5: to win the Superowl? Than Dallas Cowboys. Right now, I

461
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 5: can't confidently say that. So it would be so much

462
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 5: better if delaw had gone to a place where the

463
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 5: chances are objectively better for them to win a Super Bowl,

464
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 5: because that it hits a little better. But then, like

465
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: there were other guys that got in on this too,

466
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: like Trayvon Diggs in a sense deleted tweet because I

467
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 5: can't go to war with somebody who really be hating

468
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 5: on you. And it was just like this is all

469
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 5: that was missing, And I think it was our friend

470
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: Michael Junior that pointed this out. Yea, all that was

471
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 5: missing was Ceedee Lamb saying the enemy speaks kindly and

472
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 5: holds knife, which is the quick essential wide receiver tweet.

473
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: I love mess and I.

474
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 5: Love all of this, but again, it's just it's so

475
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 5: indicative of the culture in Dallas. Like all of these

476
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: guys once they leave Dallas, it's like this weight gets

477
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 5: lifted off their shoulders and then they just be saying anything.

478
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not gonna wait.

479
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not making Super Bowl contending moves, like

480
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: he's not lying, Like you are the wealthiest franchise in

481
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: America and you have not gone out and made any

482
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: big moves make your team better.

483
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 5: No, they make The wild part is they make moves

484
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 5: to stay in the news cycle. And that doesn't mean

485
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 5: big moves because we know that they don't do that.

486
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 5: But the way that they go about things is to

487
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 5: is like for maximum relevance in the news cycle, not

488
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: maximum elevance as far as competition goes. And there was

489
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 5: so like this off season I think has been even

490
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 5: more interesting.

491
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: And we'll talk to Jeff Kavanaugh about.

492
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: This, but like, yeah, Jerry Jones didn't speak at the

493
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 5: combine like he normally does.

494
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: That's crazy because it's also like usually required.

495
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: No, so it is though Jerry had to.

496
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 5: There's no doubt like Jerry had to pay some sort

497
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 5: of fine for not doing that. He did speak the

498
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 5: week later. But the thing about the Dallas Cowboys is

499
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: they Jerry Jones always talks on his bus two local

500
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: Beat reporters on Saturday of the combine. Yeah, for those

501
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 5: who don't know, media start getting to the combine on Monday. Ye,

502
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: So all of the Dallas Beats books their trip knowing

503
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 5: that Jerry doesn't speak until Saturday, and they book a

504
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 5: whole week, which is longer than most people stay for

505
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 5: that and then the night before the Cowboys decide to

506
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: tell them this isn't happening anymore.

507
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it was the day out, which is weird too,

508
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: because Jerry loves a crowd, Jerry loves talk, Jerry loves

509
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: the media, but even when.

510
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: He doesn't talk, that becomes news and he knows that too.

511
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 5: He's created this monster and it's but it's interesting to

512
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 5: see it from a player's perspective, and the brand and

513
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: all of that comes with endorsements and whatever, like being

514
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 5: the second string linebacker on the Dallas Cowboys is making

515
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 5: money is better than being the starter on most other

516
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 5: teams because of how visible the brand is. But that

517
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 5: doesn't actually help you win. And so when you're getting

518
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: to d Law's age and you're getting later in your

519
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: career and you know, haven't won anything of consequence, it's

520
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 5: I get it, and I get the frustration coming out.

521
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: I also love the honesty. I'm not mad at the honesty.

522
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: I don't like when you like attack teammates and former teammates,

523
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: but like.

524
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: He didn't attack his former teammates, So he just said

525
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna win a Super Bowl.

526
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more

527
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 4: time winning.

528
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: Well that was after he was provoked.

529
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 4: Yes, he need to attack.

530
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: Me in the interview, he didn't go after.

531
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: No no no no no no no no no, both

532
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: of them going after each other. We're going to dive

533
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 2: more into this in just a second, but let's check

534
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: it with Martin Wise as he wents trending.

535
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 9: Just quick.

536
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 10: I would have liked it if Michael Parsons just said,

537
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 10: maybe signing you to be in the highest defensive paid,

538
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 10: highest paid defensive ending the NFL five years ago wasn't

539
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 10: a super Bowl winning move.

540
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 9: Maybe that was the problem.

541
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize the fact

542
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 5: that he has the contract that's supposed to come down,

543
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 5: so he wants to be paid now he's not gonna.

544
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 9: I just thought it was ironic. It's like you the

545
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 9: high at one point, you set the market.

546
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: Well where'd you go? The Cowboys do this to themselves altely.

547
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 9: I mean, the history does repeat itself.

548
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 10: Speaking of history repeating itself, Kyle, you chake back with the.

549
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,720

589
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: like are we having a time pondering.

590
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 11: A couple of times and I was like, I don't know,

591
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 11: I'm not expecting a phone call.

592
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: Yes you are.

593
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 11: I've just been boiling crawfish and drinking some stuff and

594
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 11: I turned to a mutual friend of Carmen and I

595
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 11: is Tyler, who was like, who's calling? And I was like,

596
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 11: oh crap, interview.

597
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 6: Definitely.

598
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 5: All that All that means to me is that you

599
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 5: are primed and ready to talk about the mess that

600
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 5: is the Dallas Cowboys in the last couple of.

601
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 4: Days, which we love. So let's dive into that tea.

602
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence left the Cowboys a free agency signing with

603
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. After the move, he said some things like

604
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: Dallas couldn't win a Super Bowl. So, before we get

605
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: into the Micah Parsons beef and everything that went down,

606
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: do you think that was fair to say that the

607
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys are not Super Bowl contenders right now?

608
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 11: No, not at all. I think the I think it's disgusting.

609
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 11: I think it's inappropriate. I think it's disrespectful, and I

610
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 11: think it's the same thing that every single person who

611
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 11: covers this team says on a daily basis.

612
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 3: There we go.

613
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 11: And as soon as someone, as soon as a former

614
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 11: player says that it becomes a thing like that, Dallas

615
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 11: has to be the number one team in the league.

616
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 11: That's what anyone who leaves this team. Yeah, well, then

617
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 11: talk about all the things that are wrong with the franchise,

618
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 11: and then the fan base or the current players get

619
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 11: mad about it, and four or five years from now,

620
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 11: when Mike hal Parson signs it's his next team, he

621
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 11: will say exactly what said. Yeah, it'll be great.

622
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: Then like, how how do they keeple lit on it? Then?

623
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 5: Like in Dallas, Like you're in Dallas and like, you

624
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 5: know things are wrong, but you're like, are they actually brainwashed?

625
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 5: And then it's like as soon as they're released, some

626
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 5: of the cloud lifts, like how do they I.

627
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 11: Mean, I think they like they they know, it's just

628
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 11: you know, you see. I think about every time a

629
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 11: Cowboy player is having a contract negotiation, it always goes

630
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 11: in the same way, and people are like, oh, yeah, dude,

631
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 11: this isn't going well, Like he's going to be so

632
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 11: mad at the at the front office and this and that,

633
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 11: and I'm like, yeah, right up until they sign the

634
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 11: finished contract, and then they don't care anymore. While you're

635
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 11: making all of the money, it's all good. And as

636
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 11: soon as you're not making all of the money here anymore,

637
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 11: you don't have a vested interest in pretending that everything's great,

638
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 11: and so you get to, yeah, the Cowboys are a

639
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 11: little different than everywhere else and they're not running the best.

640
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 11: So here we go.

641
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: Let's go team, So let's talk about that next big contract.

642
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: Because Michael Parsons is uh in the batter's box and

643
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: he's one who responded to Lawrence's tweet saying, this is

644
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: what rejection and envy looks like, this is some clown stuff.

645
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: What did you think of Micah's response and what's the

646
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: team think?

647
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 11: I think Micah is an interesting case because I think

648
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 11: it's weird how you can know stuff but you're not

649
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 11: going to report stuff because it's just you hear and

650
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 11: it's not like all right, guys have sorced this up

651
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 11: and this is a report. Yeah, But like Tank Lawrence

652
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 11: looked at Michaeh. Parsons as like the immature kid, where

653
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 11: like we're you doing like, yeah, you're super good at football,

654
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 11: but you're not bleeding anyone. Like yeah, there were times

655
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 11: with Micah here where he would you know, he talks

656
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 11: about stuff to teammates about what we're going to do

657
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 11: and how I'm going to lead us to that and

658
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 11: here's what you need to do, and Tank Lawrence would

659
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 11: look at him and be like, you're not doing it,

660
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 11: Like what are you talking about? So I think, yeah,

661
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 11: the veterans and some people in the Cowboys organization have

662
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 11: always looked at Micah as it's weird that you talk

663
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 11: about leadership because we don't do you that way. Uh,

664
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 11: you know, but you're so good at football and now

665
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 11: maybe now maybe the runway is cleared and there are

666
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 11: no real veterans because like if you could get I

667
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 11: shouldn't play his name out in this, but whatever I've

668
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 11: been drinking. Like if you caught the Jordan Lewis who

669
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 11: just signed with Jacksonville right, who was here for a while,

670
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 11: ideal teammate, quiet leader, does everything right and you're like, hey,

671
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 11: Tank and Micah got into it, what do you think

672
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 11: he would like? He would giggle and be like yeah,

673
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 11: of course, like Tanks.

674
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: Right, Like yeah, but it's it's like you said, like

675
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: when you're in the middle of it, it's just like

676
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: everyone knows this is happening, and it's.

677
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 4: Like you just can't go with it.

678
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah. Micah Parsons is a guy that is incredibly talented.

679
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 11: He is super good at football, and like, for me,

680
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 11: like that's cool, that's great, and he's on your team.

681
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 11: It's it's weird how often his whole career he's talked

682
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 11: about leadership when it's like, that's not you, and maybe

683
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 11: it can be now maybe as a guy who's about

684
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 11: to get all the money and now you've been in

685
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 11: the league for almost a half decade, you know, mean,

686
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 11: were I became a reasonably mature adult somewhere around the

687
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 11: age of thirty seven, Sos Parsons at twenty five or

688
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 11: twenty six, times pressure for him?

689
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 5: I would I say, if it's not Micah, though, like,

690
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 5: who is it going to be at this point? Because

691
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 5: not only are you going to be the highest paid

692
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 5: on the team maybe or at least on the defense,

693
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: you're also now at this point Micah is getting into

694
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 5: veteran territory when you're talking about his second contract. So

695
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 5: was this Micah's first kind of foray into trying to

696
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 5: lead by condemning d Law and what he said?

697
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 11: Oh, I think absolutely. I think it was like you

698
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 11: couldn't have drawn it up better for Micah?

699
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, as a as a guy who.

700
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 11: Wants to be viewed that way. And now the two

701
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 11: big time betteran presences in Tank and Jordan Lewis are

702
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 11: both gone get it. I mean, it's your playground now.

703
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 11: And so to have an opportunity, especially for a guy

704
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 11: who is super online, to be able to talk crap

705
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 11: online to a I mean, what a perfect scenario for Micah.

706
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 11: And what does it mean? Does that mean that, like, oh,

707
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 11: look at this, What a great opportunity for all of

708
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 11: these young guys who are now at your defense to

709
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 11: rally together and have this common enemy. Or is it

710
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 11: twenty four to forty eight hours of guys talking crap

711
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 11: on the internet and then continuing out with their lives.

712
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 11: It's probably that, but I mean, but it's fun.

713
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, So okay.

714
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: The Cowboys haven't made any splashy moves yet in free agency.

715
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 2: Stephen Jones said earlier this off scene they were going

716
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: to be selectively aggressive.

717
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: Haven't seen anything yet.

718
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: Do the Cowboys have something big planned or are they

719
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: focusing on the draft Ricky pieces this year?

720
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 4: What are you hearing?

721
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 11: I think they're going to do exactly what they always do,

722
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 11: and what they always do is they say a bunch

723
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 11: of words, The words mean nothing and their actions will

724
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 11: always be the same, will always be that they're going

725
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 11: to try their best to draft and develop. They don't

726
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 11: want to cut big signing bonus check outside free agents.

727
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 11: They think that if you call someone to make a

728
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 11: trade at a sign of weakness because you've acknowledged that

729
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 11: you are looking for something. Uh yeah, I think I

730
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 11: think they're broken up top and and it's unfortunate they

731
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 11: view tradeing, God, even the trades that they do make,

732
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 11: like you don't have to go back that far to

733
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 11: realize you can use fifth and six round picks to

734
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 11: get NFL contributors to players that are proven good. But

735
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 11: instead they chase after busted former first round picks. And

736
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 11: you guys are on the internet, so I'm sure you've

737
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 11: seen the same tweet from how many days ago where

738
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 11: it's like anybody referred to as a former first round pick, yep,

739
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 11: you know what that means. It means they're not good.

740
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: No one is.

741
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 11: Ever going to in a story be like former first

742
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 11: round picks ceedee Lamb because you know who CD Lamb is.

743
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 11: Yeah he's awesome.

744
00:33:59,360 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

745
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 11: Yeah. They's chase after these these players who just haven't

746
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 11: worked out, and other teams are desperate to get rid

747
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 11: of them, and you're the team that actually gives something

748
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 11: up to pay a salary of a guy that other

749
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 11: teams are just praying to God they can find anyone

750
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 11: to take the salary off their hands. And you know

751
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 11: it's I live here, I grew up here. I want

752
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 11: the Cowboys to win. So it's a weird spot because

753
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 11: I don't want to spend all of my time talking

754
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 11: about how inept a family is at running a business,

755
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 11: because I want to enjoy sports. I want to pull

756
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 11: for the team. I want him to win the game.

757
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 11: But it's hard to talk about him in any other

758
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 11: way when they keep doing team building the same way.

759
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 11: And it's bad.

760
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, is there any expiration to this strategy?

761
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 11: I I don't think. I think the fact that Jerry

762
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 11: Jones holds the title of general manager tells you everything

763
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 11: you need to know about this team into perpetuity. Like

764
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 11: it's like that is an ego title to hold. He

765
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 11: doesn't that job, He absolutely positively does not do that job,

766
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 11: but he insists on having that title, which is just

767
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 11: one sign of exactly what's going on at the very

768
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 11: very top of this which is somebody who's not qualified

769
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 11: to do the job thinking he's better than the best

770
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 11: people on the planet at doing that job. So when

771
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 11: things go wrong, it can't be that there's a lesson

772
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 11: to be learned from this. It can't be that it

773
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 11: has to be. It has to be we'll get him

774
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 11: next time. Yeah, our plan is the best. It's just

775
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 11: it hadn't worked out yet. It's about to though, for sure.

776
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: That's insane to keep fooling people. Jeff We appreciate you

777
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: so much for coming on. I love the fact that

778
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: you were loose and saucy for this.

779
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,719

00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: Sports Radio dot Com.

939
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 5: It's all sponsored by Tractor Supply for Life out here.

940
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: We did decent last year, right, I think we were in, like, yeah,

941
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: the top until we got to the final four, like I.

942
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 5: Did recently, until I think the sweet sixteen where my

943
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 5: national champion, yeah, ke champion got knocked out, and I

944
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 5: was like, well, that's like so I had other things

945
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 5: that were right, but I knew that I couldn't end

946
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 5: up being right.

947
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, good, but not good enough. Let's get back

948
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 2: to EDVL free agency here and we're gonna do new

949
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 2: faces in new and some same places and grade the moves.

950
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: And we're gonna start with Davante Adams to the RAMS

951
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: two years, forty six million, twenty six million guaranteed. What

952
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: I love most about this whole transaction, which we learned

953
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: at his presser his RAMS presser, was Davante was in

954
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: Japan when all this was going down, and Sean McVay

955
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: was trying to recruit Davante by sending him narrated highlight

956
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: tapes of Davante and his past plays in past games.

957
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: And it worked, Like Davante Adams said, the Rams and

958
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: Sean mcfay's aggressiveness was one of the main reasons that

959
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: he signed with LA I love this move for the

960
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 2: Rams and Adams. The Rams are in a win now

961
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: two year window with Matthew Stafford. They might be facing

962
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: that same thing they face this off season with Stafford

963
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: next year. And they needed another number one, number two

964
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 2: wide receiver alongside Pokinakua, and after they officially released Cooper Cup, who,

965
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: as we mentioned, resigned in the in the division, DeVante

966
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 2: Adams was a great selection.

967
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 4: He's a West Coast guy.

968
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: There's a feeling he was gonna want to stay on

969
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 2: the West Coast. I honestly thought maybe Chargers were a

970
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: bigger possibility, but yeah, Rams are a clear favorite to win.

971
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: I think the NFC West right now forty nine Ers

972
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: were gonna get more info on that with Tracy Sandler

973
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 2: in just a bit Seattle.

974
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 4: A lot of new.

975
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 2: Including Cooper Cup and Cards almost there, not totally there yet.

976
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 3: This is fine.

977
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, Fante Adams served the Rams is fine. Like Pukakua

978
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 5: is the number one wide receiver he has been. Like

979
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 5: the tantam of him and Cooper Cup were great, but

980
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: he is the number one wide receiver.

981
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams. Now, it was smart on his part.

982
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I know he wants to say, oh, it

983
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 5: was the aggressiveness and wanting to feel wanted, and everybody

984
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 5: wants to feel wanted. But like, there are plenty of

985
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 5: teams that could have used Davonte Adams services. The biggest

986
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 5: thing that I think it made the difference for him

987
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 5: is Matthew Stafford. Oh yeah, he gets a veteran quarterback

988
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 5: like Devanta. Adams is not trying to play with an

989
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 5: up and coming guy. He's not trying to play with

990
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 5: like whatever. Like he wants a guy that has that

991
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 5: knows his stuff, that can assimilate really quickly, that they

992
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 5: can just you know, get as much on the same

993
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 5: page as they possibly can. I like, it's it's it's good.

994
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 5: It's good having an other bedroom presence. But like, I

995
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 5: don't think that this was like anything, Like I don't

996
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 5: know that this changed my opinion of the Los Angeles Rams.

997
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 2: Oh I do, because I think they they needed another

998
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: top guy.

999
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 4: Besides, I would have trusted them in draft.

1000
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: Somebody need that. I would have trust them the draft.

1001
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, But like where they are right now, in this

1002
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 2: like little window, they're trying to get back to the

1003
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: Soup Bowl with Matthew Stafford. I think they needed a

1004
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: veteran guy and a guy that can be great. And

1005
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 2: we've seen like when Matthew Stafford has set records with

1006
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: both Cooper Cup and Megatron, like he's he's had some

1007
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 2: of the top wide receivers in the game at the

1008
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: top of their game. Like when you look at something

1009
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: like that, like as you said, that was probably a

1010
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 2: big reason for DeVante Adams to be with a quarterback

1011
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 2: that can get you to that level is everything, And

1012
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 2: it's like there's.

1013
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 3: Still there's still a question mark though, is is what? What?

1014
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 5: Who is DeVante Adams now? Yeah, he's not the DeVante

1015
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 5: Adams now three four years ago?

1016
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: So who is he now?

1017
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 5: Was it just because he like things went so horribly

1018
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 5: in in Las Vegas? Yes, everything was terrible in New

1019
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 5: York with Rogers, Like, yeah, he.

1020
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: Didn't he hasn't had a chance to like be in

1021
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: a good functional environment.

1022
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 5: He's also getting older. Yeah, so I I like that.

1023
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 5: I think it's a good signing having a veteran there

1024
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 5: is great. But like I like this, like I already

1025
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 5: thought the Rams were going to be good. This doesn't

1026
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 5: change what I thought the Rams were going to be.

1027
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: I think this is what they needed to do to

1028
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 2: stay in that kind of top conversation of like can

1029
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: they be a contender. I think this helps him stay

1030
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 2: there because they needed another strong weapon. And you're gonna

1031
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: have a DeVante Adams who's gonna be hungry, who wants

1032
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: to get back to who he was before.

1033
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 5: So well they have they have an out after this

1034
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 5: year too, Like the contract is completely inconsequential, Like twenty

1035
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 5: two million dollars a year for a guy like Devonte Adams, easy, yep.

1036
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 5: And there's an out after the twenty twenty five season. Yeah,

1037
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 5: that helps him, Like, you know, he's got twenty six

1038
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 5: million guaranteed or whatever it is. So that's really like

1039
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 5: if you pay twenty six million for one year, Dvonte Adams,

1040
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 5: I'm fine with that.

1041
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1042
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 2: So the spot he filled Cooper Cup signing with the

1043
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: Seahawks three years, forty five million dollars, staying in the

1044
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: NFC West.

1045
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about that a little bit too, Like.

1046
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: I mean he's going to face his former team twice

1047
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 2: next year. Kind of a homecoming for Cooper who grew up,

1048
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: you know, in Washington. A week ago didn't make sense

1049
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: for Seattle, but like now kind of Seattle, it it

1050
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 2: kind of makes sense.

1051
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 5: So that was for again what we talked about before,

1052
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 5: for Seattle's objectives, that made sense. You got him for

1053
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 5: half the price of DK Metcalf and you still get

1054
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 5: you get a veteran, and you get a guy that

1055
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 5: still theoretically has football left. But the biggest thing was, like,

1056
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 5: that's what I'm saying, if he's healthy. But the biggest

1057
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 5: thing was letting DK Metcalf go from Seattle Dk Metcalf

1058
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 5: now because he's the highest paid of these transactions that

1059
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 5: happened this week, that's as far as wide receivers goes.

1060
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 4: It's on the list. DK Metcalf to the Steelers.

1061
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 3: Which makes zero sense to me.

1062
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: It's so weird, like DK was basically traded for a

1063
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: second round pick and some like pick swaps with Seattle,

1064
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: and then Steelers immediately signed DK two.

1065
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 5: Money talks on extension. Money talks. That's that's the bottom

1066
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 5: line in all of this is money talks. Because for

1067
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 5: as much as DK Metcalf wanted to say like he

1068
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 5: requested the trade, he wanted to go somewhere warm. He

1069
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 5: wanted a surefire quarterback situation. He wanted to go to

1070
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 5: a contender. The Steelers are none of those things.

1071
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 4: Right now, you still don't have your QB one.

1072
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: Like, that's the part that makes no sense to me,

1073
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: none whatsoever.

1074
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 4: Who's going to be throwing in the ball.

1075
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not gonna do it?

1076
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 5: No, I can't. Like listen, we don't know. I get

1077
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 5: chasing the money and that and like full stop, that's

1078
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 5: what happened. And so I like, it's going to be

1079
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 5: so interesting to me. And I guess if anybody can

1080
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 5: handle the egos of DK Metcalf, George Pickens, get Aaron Rodgers,

1081
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 5: that could you imagine Mike.

1082
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 3: Tomlin already deserves for keeping a lid.

1083
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 4: On so many of these guys.

1084
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 3: He deserves a hall of fame.

1085
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 5: He will get a Hall of fame, nod, but but

1086
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 5: literally just for the way that he was able He's

1087
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 5: able to navigate the dynamics inside that building. Because every

1088
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 5: time some of these guys like go off somewhere else,

1089
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 5: we realize, like how insane they all actually are. I

1090
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 5: would I, honestly, as someone who roots from maxim chaos,

1091
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 5: I would love to see Ian Rodgers now go to Pittsburgh,

1092
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 5: this whole thing.

1093
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 4: So that whole thing.

1094
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh reportedly made an offer, but Aaron is waiting for

1095
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 2: see what the Vikings are going to do, which don't do.

1096
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 4: It, Kevin O'Connell, Yeah, don't do it.

1097
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, it very easily could eta end

1098
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 2: up in Pittsburgh Rogers if if Vikings decide like not

1099
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: to go that direction, because again, they tried Russell Wilson.

1100
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 3: He's the only other one.

1101
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 5: He's the only other one, like the Steelers already tried Wilsons.

1102
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know. I like, I would be so.

1103
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 5: Much more comfortable with Russell Wilson going to the Vikings

1104
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 5: than I would be here, not just going to but like,

1105
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 5: don't complete the farv arc either, Roger, come on, come on.

1106
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 4: It would be hilarious. It's just hilarious, Okay.

1107
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 2: Next, wide receiver Chris Godwin staying in Tampa left money

1108
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: on the table to resign with Tampa, apparently about twenty

1109
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 2: million dollars, but the choice was about family, and that

1110
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: says a lot about not only what's important for Godwin

1111
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: but also the Bucks to have that kind of effect

1112
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: on players to want to stay for twenty million dollars less.

1113
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 2: The deal was, yeah, quarterly sixty six million.

1114
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 5: I remember I talked about this last week where you

1115
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 5: it is like Tampa's a special place man, and someone

1116
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 5: I know I'm biased because I spent six years there,

1117
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 5: but like I have now been in other locker rooms,

1118
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 5: I have been around other organizations. I have gone around to,

1119
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 5: like I know people at multiple teams. I will say,

1120
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 5: the culture in Tampa is so good. And they get

1121
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 5: overlooked a lot because of being in the NFC South

1122
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 5: and and they're kind of just eking into the playoffs.

1123
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 5: But at the same time, they've won the division three

1124
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 5: years in a row. They've been in the playoffs four

1125
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 5: years in a row.

1126
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, Yeah, yes, like they was where was tom

1127
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: Brady in that?

1128
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 4: So like post tom Brady.

1129
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 5: Did not make the playoffs the year before they won

1130
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, tom Brady comes, they won the Super Bowl.

1131
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 5: Immediately they have made the playoffs or won the division

1132
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 5: or both every I mean obviously.

1133
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 3: Are both every year since. Yeah, so they that.

1134
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 4: Locker respect on the books.

1135
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 5: This is my this is my plight, this is my whatever.

1136
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 5: But Chris is I mean, he will have a fan

1137
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 5: for life in me. I adore Chris. His family is wonderful,

1138
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 5: his wife Mariah, they just had their son, Ace, who

1139
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 5: was at the press conference. But the thing about that

1140
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 5: we talked about last week was not only is the

1141
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 5: culture great, but Chris is coming off another injury. Ye,

1142
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 5: and no one is going to give you more grace

1143
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 5: than the team that already knows what you're capable of.

1144
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 5: And it was heartbreaking last year because Chris was finally back.

1145
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 3: To normal.

1146
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 5: And it was because the year before he had come

1147
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 5: off the ACL injury, but he wasn't quite himself last

1148
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 5: year before this injury, you finally saw the guy that

1149
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 5: he used to be and you're like, oh, he he

1150
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 5: did get back to who he was, and so now

1151
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 5: you need grace, especially at his I can't believe it

1152
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 5: was saying at his age because he's still young. But

1153
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 5: at the same time, you have this injury history. No

1154
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 5: one is going to give you more grace, and you're

1155
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 5: already so entrenched in the Tampa Bay community. Him and

1156
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 5: his wife do some wonderful things, uh with with their

1157
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 5: foundation in animal rescue, and they're they're super involved in

1158
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 5: multiple causes. I can't say enough about the what the

1159
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 5: what they've built in Tampa that it can withstand all

1160
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 5: of this turnover. You think Tom Brady left, Baker comes in.

1161
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 5: Baker's now had multiple offensive coordinators because those offensive coordinators

1162
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 5: have left to be he had coaches now like Todd

1163
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 5: Bowles is the king maker apparently, and through all of

1164
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 5: this they maintain this level of stability that is attractive

1165
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 5: enough for guys to say, Hey, I want to stay here.

1166
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 5: I have my life here. It's worth the Josh Allen conversation.

1167
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 5: I mean, we're not talking about as much money as Josh.

1168
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 4: Allen paid five million, like twenty million, but.

1169
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 5: There are things that are a little bit more important,

1170
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 5: and fit is a huge part of that. And especially

1171
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 5: with Mike Evans running it back still as well, those.

1172
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 3: Two are thick as thieves.

1173
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 4: That's great.

1174
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 3: I'm so happy for Chris and his family. Shout out them.

1175
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great.

1176
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett Brown's extension deal four years, one hundred and

1177
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 2: sixty million, one hundred and twenty two points eighty million,

1178
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 2: Garren Dedny Times, Oh.

1179
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 3: Here's what he wanted.

1180
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 4: He wanted out about a month ago.

1181
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 3: So funny talk, like you you're gonna make You're gonna

1182
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 3: get him forty million.

1183
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 5: Dollars a year, which is more than most quarterbacks, making

1184
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 5: You're you're the highest paid non quarterback in the league by.

1185
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 4: All large march full no trade clause.

1186
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 3: By a large margin. What I don't understand.

1187
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 5: This is the weirdest thing I saw this week on

1188
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 5: the Browns official channels on their Twitter, on their instagram.

1189
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 5: Andrews Siliana Great reporter yep I was interviewing Miles Garrett.

1190
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was like James.

1191
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 5: He was like, do you know what this team is

1192
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 5: doing for quarterbacks? And Miles Garrett looks at Cameron says,

1193
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be sitting here smiling to you if I

1194
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 5: didn't like it.

1195
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 2: Okay, So they sold him on a suture plan. I mean,

1196
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: maybe they're just you're going to take me all on,

1197
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 2: mister badman at quarterback possible Russell Wilson they traded for

1198
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett, so little quarterback security there.

1199
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 5: My whole thing with this is like this was on

1200
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 5: the Browns channels, like this was something the Browns themselves

1201
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 5: put out. It's wild to see that. Like, not only

1202
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 5: did he admit to all right, these are the conversations,

1203
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 5: this is what made me stay.

1204
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they sold me on something.

1205
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: They sold me on something, ring back something. But he

1206
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 3: also said, like I didn't.

1207
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 5: I still didn't want to be here, but this makes

1208
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 5: me feel a little bit better about it.

1209
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 3: Essentially.

1210
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 4: I mean they were three and fourteen last year.

1211
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 3: No, like exactly, but I'm just like, hell, it was

1212
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 3: wild to mean.

1213
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 2: They're also in like one of the toughest divisions with

1214
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 2: the Ravens, the Steelers, Bengals. They were bottom five in

1215
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 2: points allowed nineteen than yards. They still need to lock

1216
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: in some weapons. Nick Chubb is a free agent quarterback

1217
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 2: situation obviously is their biggest question mark and need they

1218
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 2: need help on both the O line and the D line.

1219
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that they're just an off season away

1220
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: from like getting back on track, but like, you know,

1221
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 2: get your bag again.

1222
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 5: If you're going, I mean forty million dollars, I don't

1223
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 5: know how you turn that down because that's so far

1224
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 5: and away more than anybody else is getting. Like the

1225
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 5: highest paid non quarterback before that was thirty five million dollars. Yeah,

1226
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 5: and now like you've just super seeded that surpassed that. Yeah,

1227
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 5: completely reset the market. But at the same time, I

1228
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 5: don't think that he reset the market because I don't

1229
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 5: think any team is gonna like, we're not going to

1230
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 5: push it. The Dallas Caps are not going to give.

1231
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 5: The Cincinnati Bengals are not giving.

1232
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 4: The next one's on the on the docket.

1233
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 5: No, I mean, I have to think every other owner

1234
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 5: in the league is like brun HASLMS doing what are

1235
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 5: you not like they did that after the Deshaun Watson

1236
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 5: trade and or the Deshahn Watson signing. And I'm just like,

1237
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 5: like that that was not good for anybody, no least

1238
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 5: of all the Browns, which is what I.

1239
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: Just I just hope they're like taking the l on

1240
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 2: mister Batman and just like let's put that behind us.

1241
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 4: That was a big, a big big.

1242
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 3: But that's the thing is, I don't know that they are.

1243
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 4: They hope they do. I mean they were No one

1244
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 4: wants his contract, No one wants to see it.

1245
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 3: We're talking about it.

1246
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 5: They reworked as contract, like they're they're giving themselves a

1247
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 5: little bit more of an out. But like, depending on

1248
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 5: what happens here, Like I'm very curious as to what

1249
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 5: they told Miles Garrett.

1250
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,839

1267
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the NFC North because they

1268
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 2: were the best division in the league last year.

1269
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 4: It's looking like probab lady.

1270
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, regular season looking like you know they're gonna get

1271
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 2: back there, be close to probably the best again this

1272
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 2: next season. And the Bears. The Bears had a lot

1273
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: of needs. Their biggest need was to get Caleb Williams protection.

1274
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 2: He was the most sacked quarterback last season and Ben

1275
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: Johnson fourth most sacked quarterback of all insane Like insane,

1276
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: and their new head coach, Ben Johnson in his intro

1277
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: presser said o line was going to be a focus

1278
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: for the Bears, and.

1279
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 4: You guys, they went out and did the damn thing.

1280
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 5: Like I mean as recently as at the combine, Ben

1281
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 5: Johnson reiterated like he was asked, Hey, do you think

1282
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 5: it's realistic to actually expect you to turn over a

1283
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 5: team to turn over this is all hypothetical. Yeah, a

1284
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 5: team to turn over the entire interior of their offensive

1285
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 5: line in one off season. And Ben Johnson's like, yeah,

1286
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 5: I think it's possible if there's precedent turns out.

1287
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 3: That was it. That wasn't just possible. That was he

1288
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 3: a promise. That was a promise.

1289
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 4: He did it like.

1290
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't just a possibility.

1291
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 2: It was a problems star you with the Bears this

1292
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 2: whole off season, getting the right head coach saying anything,

1293
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 2: going out and getting the things that they needed.

1294
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 5: It's not It's not just the offensive line either. The

1295
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 5: Bears also addressed the defensive line. They went out and

1296
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 5: got Grady Jarrett, they got Dio dang Bo. They addressed

1297
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 5: the pass rush in multiple ways, which I really love.

1298
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 5: And Grady Jarrett is not only a great player, I

1299
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 5: know he's on the tail end of his career, but

1300
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 5: he's also a.

1301
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 4: Great veteran to lead the locker.

1302
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 5: Room, whereas you hope Dio is more of an ascending

1303
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 5: player on the defensive side.

1304
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 3: But here's here's the whole thing. For me.

1305
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 5: Every single off season, I say, yeah, we need a

1306
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 5: temper expectations. Guys, this is the off season. Games are

1307
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 5: not one in the off season. As a lifelong Chicago

1308
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 5: in as someone who has watched this team my entire life.

1309
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: Wait, I'm getting there. I'm getting there.

1310
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 5: As someone who has watched this team, they have not

1311
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 5: earned the benefit of the doubt from me. I need

1312
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 5: to see it happen before I'm going to give you

1313
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 5: some sort of optimistic whatever, because every time this happens,

1314
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 5: like last off season, for instance, Oh, they went out

1315
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 5: and they you know, they got they got Realmandonsay and

1316
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 5: they got Caleb Williams and they got this and they

1317
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 5: got Keenan Allen and whatever. I was like, Okay, but

1318
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 5: what about the trenches?

1319
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 3: What a about the offensive.

1320
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 5: Line gives you any sort of confidence that you're gonna

1321
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 5: be able to protect?

1322
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.

1323
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 5: Fast forward to this offseason, they have done everything I

1324
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 5: have wanted them.

1325
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 3: To do over the last few years. They have addressed

1326
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 3: the offensive line.

1327
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 5: They have gotten a veteran center in front of Caleb

1328
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 5: Williams to take the most work off of his plate.

1329
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson even said this week when Drew Dolman they

1330
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 5: signed in free agency previously with the Falcons, Ben Johnson said,

1331
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 5: I have told Drew already I will put he will

1332
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 5: have the most on his plate that he ever has.

1333
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 5: And this is a guy who's been a center and

1334
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 5: went to Stanford. Super smart, guy, athletic, tough as hell,

1335
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 5: all of that kind of stuff.

1336
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 3: He is now going to have the most work on

1337
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 3: his plate, which is music to my ears.

1338
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 5: Because that means that work is being taken off the

1339
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 5: plate of Caleb Williams yep. And he is allowed to

1340
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 5: just rely on the guys around him. He is allowed

1341
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 5: to focus on the other things that being a quarterback

1342
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 5: in tails, he does not have to make all of

1343
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 5: the pre snap decisions like I saw him make at

1344
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 5: the beginning of last year, and I was flabbergasted by

1345
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 5: the fact that he is making the line protections or

1346
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 5: like the line changes. He's the one identifying the mic point.

1347
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 5: He's the one identifying where it's hot. Like that is

1348
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 5: something a center can do for you if you are

1349
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 5: a young quarterback. So I'm such a proponent of getting

1350
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 5: a veteran center in front of those young guys until

1351
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 5: they start to learn what they're really looking at. The

1352
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 5: Bears have now gone out and done that. They are

1353
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 5: now building from the inside out like I have wanted

1354
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 5: them to do for years. So if they're doing all

1355
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 5: of the things I want them to do, Alex, yeah,

1356
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 5: here we go, Here we go, bigger expectations, I guess

1357
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 5: I have to you have to mystic, Yes, listen, I

1358
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 5: really have the right to change my mind because like,

1359
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 5: this line hasn't played together yet.

1360
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 3: No, they all these guys have come with some injury issues.

1361
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 2: They still have twenty nine guys on the roster from

1362
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: last season that are now free agents.

1363
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 3: Then they have to make consequence.

1364
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 4: Well, Keenan Allen maybe the biggest I know.

1365
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 5: No, no, no, Like I like, at what you need

1366
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 5: to re sign him for you have, you have everything,

1367
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,439
Speaker 5: Like honestly I would if they're gonna make a luxury pick,

1368
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 5: it's gonna I think it's gonna be a running back,

1369
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 5: because that's if you look at Ben Johnson's offensive philosophy.

1370
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 5: It starts up front with the offensive line, which is

1371
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,439
Speaker 5: why I've been a fan of his for so long,

1372
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 5: but then it also goes through the ground game. And

1373
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 5: right now your lead back is DeAndre Swift. I don't

1374
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 5: think that's enough for the Chicago Bears right now, but

1375
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 5: you need to test out this offensive line who has

1376
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 5: not played together yet. And again, all of them come

1377
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 5: in with injury history. Jonah Jackson injuries last year. Drew Dollman,

1378
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 5: the center that I just talked to sens very highly about,

1379
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 5: missed eight games last year. Joe toun is the only

1380
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 5: one that hasn't. But he's also getting older, so like

1381
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 5: I need to see it.

1382
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 2: But Jo's also coming from like but like Juste's super

1383
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 2: Bowl winning team well.

1384
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 5: And before that he blocked for Tom Brady, so like

1385
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 5: he's won four super Bowls. He's been adding that to

1386
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 5: the locker room is huge a winner. I again, I

1387
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,959
Speaker 5: reserve the right to be wrong, and I don't say

1388
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 5: this lightly, guys, because I'm literally always the one I'm

1389
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 5: hated in Chicago by so many people because I'm like,

1390
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 5: just wait, just relax.

1391
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 3: You can't go to super Bowl right now.

1392
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 4: That's my hometown. Come on.

1393
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 3: I want to see the Bears do well. They just

1394
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 3: haven't earned the benefit of that doubt for me.

1395
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 5: But this off season they have done things that they've

1396
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 5: never done before to hopefully get results that they've never

1397
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 5: had before.

1398
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 4: So you're saying there's a chance. Yeah, all right.

1399
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 3: I was checking with Martin Wise as he was I'm

1400
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 3: not comforted about it.

1401
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 7: Yeah you should be.

1402
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 10: I'm not company about the fact that Maryland's come all

1403
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 10: the way back in this game.

1404
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 9: Michigan had like a fifteen point league.

1405
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 4: And now she never forgot You're a Michigan boy.

1406
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 9: Yes I am.

1407
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 2: It's over to my right, so I I that's not

1408
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 2: right in front of my face seeing this happen here

1409
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 2: some minutes left.

1410
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 10: I know Derek has just been walking the wolver down

1411
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 10: right now, sixty four to sixty three, Big ten semi

1412
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 10: final between the Terrapins and the Wolf of Arrange, Michigan.

1413
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 9: I'm sorry Maryland with the league as Derrek Queen puts

1414
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 9: flat golden on skates, Abby fold rep.

1415
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 12: Anyway at SEC Tournament semi final, Florida opening it up

1416
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 12: a bit on Alabama seventy three to fifty seven, the

1417
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 12: Gators in the league with eleven thirty four left in

1418
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 12: the game.

1419
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 10: There and the AAC semi Final. This one's a close

1420
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 10: one between Memphis and TWU Lane the sixteenth ranked Memphis

1421
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 10: Tigers seventy four two lane seventy two two lane, nineteen

1422
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 10: to thirteen on the year, twelve and six in conference,

1423
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 10: so this will be a pretty big upset if they're

1424
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 10: able to pull.

1425
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 9: It off from Memphis at the free throw line, it seems.

1426
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 10: Earlier today we saw Tennessee advanced through the SEC Tournament Championship.

1427
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 9: They beat Auburn seventy to sixty five.

1428
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 10: In Wisconsin, will play the winner of Maryland and Michigan.

1429
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 10: They advanced to the Big Ten Tournament Championship. They be

1430
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 10: Michigan State seventy seven to seventy four. Earlier today we

1431
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 10: saw Bryant go to beat Maine seventy seven to fifty

1432
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 10: nine to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Norfolk State also

Speaker 2: She is a forty nine Ers beat reporter, the creator

1446
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 2: and owner of Fangirls Sport Network at Bestie of the show,

1447
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 2: Tracy Sandler, thanks for joining us.

1448
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me, ladies. Hi.

1449
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 2: We've got so many questions about the forty nine Ers.

1450
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 2: They lost a lot of players and free agency so far.

1451
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 2: They did just resign us check, but are they looking

1452
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 2: to retool our remain contenders? Are we facing like a

1453
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 2: rebuild right now? Explain what's going on.

1454
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 13: I think what's happening here. The way that I see

1455
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 13: it from the moves is they've made is they're kind

1456
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 13: of doing the model the Rams had last year, keeping

1457
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 13: their core together and then basically kind of hoping draft

1458
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 13: well and hoping you're on your young talent developed throughout

1459
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 13: the season. And at their core they still have Rock Perry,

1460
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 13: George Kittle, now Kyle yues Check. That was up and

1461
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 13: down the steek, but now Kyle us Check, as you

1462
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 13: mentioned Brandon, I you, Jwan Jennings, Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey.

1463
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 13: So they have a core group of guys there. Now,

1464
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 13: they did lose a couple important O liners, so that's

1465
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 13: going to be an issue, but they have that on offense.

1466
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 13: Their draft class from last season was really good, probably

1467
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 13: the best draft class on the whole that they've had

1468
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 13: in a long time, if not ever. And if they

1469
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 13: have eleven picks this year, so if they.

1470
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 6: Can draft well and they they're picks they.

1471
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 11: Have whipped on.

1472
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 13: But if they can draft well, I think that's the

1473
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 13: model they're trying to follow. No, the Rams seem to

1474
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 13: do these things better because the Rams went all in

1475
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 13: on a Super Bowl and won it. Fourniers went all

1476
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 13: in on a Super Bowl for times and never want it.

1477
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 11: So yee, if it works.

1478
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 13: But that's really what it feels like. It's not a

1479
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 13: full rebuild, but feels a little more like a retool.

1480
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 13: But when you look at the core, the core is there.

1481
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, That's kind of where I've been coming from with

1482
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 5: the with the forty nine ers, where people are like, ah.

1483
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 3: Like are they admitting defeend?

1484
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 5: But I'm like, all right, if you stack this roster

1485
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 5: up against anyone else, really like, it's still a decent roster,

1486
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 5: but it does it is riskier because you're you're losing

1487
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 5: depth now and when you're talking about retaining core guys

1488
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 5: and you talk about guys like Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams,

1489
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 5: guys that have a very.

1490
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 3: Rich injury history, at this point.

1491
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 5: You now know you don't really have a buffer anymore

1492
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 5: as far as if Christian McCaffrey isn't part of this offense,

1493
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 5: which we see is pretty catastrophic even in a year

1494
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 5: where they have Deebo Samuel and and like you had

1495
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 5: Brandon Ayuko down and like, you just.

1496
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 3: Don't have the luxury of depth anymore.

1497
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 5: So do you think that that's kind of where the

1498
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 5: draft then addresses a lot of needs for them.

1499
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 13: I have two thoughts on that I think the draft

1500
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 13: is going to be much more D line focused, and

1501
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 13: we can get to that in a second.

1502
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 11: I think in.

1503
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 13: Terms of a buffer, yes, not having Christian the offense

1504
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 13: certainly hurts the offense, but yes, Divo was in the

1505
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 13: offense last year, but Deebo Samuel did not have a

1506
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 13: good year. He was not productive in any way shape

1507
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 13: or for him, and Brandon Aiyuk goes down, and Ricky

1508
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 13: Pearsall who they think has something isn't really coming in

1509
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 13: till midway through the season, not having an off season

1510
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 13: training program and training camp because he was injured. Then

1511
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 13: of course he gets shot and then he misses a

1512
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 13: lot of the season. So I think and they have

1513
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 13: the buffer they tendered Jordan Mason, assuming that all goes well.

1514
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 13: They have Isaac Grendo, both guys who performed well in

1515
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 13: McCaffrey's absence. They're not Christian McCaffrey. Obviously he is a

1516
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 13: game changer, but they really still have enough of that

1517
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 13: core on the offensive line.

1518
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 6: They do not if Trent Williams.

1519
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 13: And we thought that was the biggest thing last year

1520
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 13: as anything, was Trent Williams being injured so much of

1521
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 13: the year, and they lost Aaron Banks and free agencies.

1522
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 13: They lose Jalen More. So that is the part of

1523
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 13: the offense that I think does not have a buffer,

1524
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 13: does not have any depth, and so it's going to

1525
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 13: be important. And then when you look at the draft,

1526
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 13: I think it is going to be I mean.

1527
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 6: They're not going to spend all eleven picks on D linemen,

1528
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 6: but they're going to spend a lot of them on

1529
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 6: D lineman and they're going to spend a lot of

1530
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 6: them on O lineman because the D line is very

1531
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 6: surprising moves. They let letter Floyd go this week and

1532
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 6: they let Malik.

1533
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 13: Calls go, both guys that maybe they're not Nick Bosa,

1534
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 13: but both guys played well. In fact, letter Floyd had

1535
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 13: eight and a half sacks last year and both had

1536
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 13: nine and they were the leaders on the team. So

1537
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 13: it's good both guys that played well. It's kind of

1538
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 13: head scratching and sexcept you look at the dollars and

1539
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 13: they have a quarterback all the money, so that because

1540
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 13: now they don't have I mean, you know Micah Parsons

1541
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 13: and his tweet, I'm always going to go along with them,

1542
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 13: but he's not wrong. Now they don't have ky on

1543
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 13: Aie on a rickey contract. Yes, he has one year

1544
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 13: left of that contract, but they're going to have to

1545
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 13: do the extension this year. So that's where I think

1546
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 13: a lot of this goes as well, and they feel

1547
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 13: that they have enough of that core left on offense.

1548
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 13: Defense will be interesting, but they have solid back and

1549
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 13: you can't discount what that means.

1550
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 3: For me because it's a good draft of the offensive

1551
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 3: and defensive lineman.

1552
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's talk a year for that.

1553
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 2: Let's talk about brock Perty and that contract extension that

1554
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 2: he's at for. What can you tell us about negotiations?

1555
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: Are the two sides close to a deal? And what's

1556
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 2: ballpark money you think he's going to get.

1557
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 13: So my feeling on ballpark money, and I'm not in charge,

1558
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 13: nor am I his agent, So I'll start with I'll

1559
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 13: preface it with that, but my feeling on the ballpark

1560
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 13: money is somewhere between fifty and fifty five, and I

1561
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 13: don't you can't go below fifty. If you're saying he's

1562
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 13: your guy and he's your franchise, you can't go below fifty.

1563
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 13: And I think you really probably have to give him

1564
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 13: the fifty at least fifty five. He made a lot more,

1565
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 13: but I just don't think you can get below those numbers.

1566
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 13: And I think fifty five is a little bit more

1567
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 13: of a yes, this is our guy, but it could

1568
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 13: be higher.

1569
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 6: When you look at the.

1570
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 13: Market, and I go back to a January set at

1571
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 13: the owner's meetings last year, and we're about to have

1572
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 13: those against We're almost a full year away, and he said,

1573
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 13: Brock will get what the market bears, and that's where

1574
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 13: they're at right now. And you look at other contracts

1575
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 13: and he's he's their guy, and if he is, they

1576
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 13: got to pay him as such.

1577
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 6: And they're going to have to figure out a way to.

1578
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 13: Also get this done earlier than they've done other contracts

1579
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 13: because in the years pass as we've seen the holdout

1580
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 13: after holdout after holdout. And I never blamed the player

1581
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 13: for that.

1582
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 6: It is a business.

1583
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 13: He will take care of itself. The player's got to

1584
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 13: take care of himself. But it's affected those players. It's

1585
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 13: somewhat affected to at the beginning of the season. You

1586
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 13: can't have that with Brock. And then beyond all that,

1587
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 13: the player always gets what he wants anyways, and so

1588
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 13: the forty nine ers lose out. So maybe take out

1589
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 13: these months of drama and just handle it. I don't

1590
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 13: think Brock wants to hold out. Brock is not a

1591
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 13: guy who wants drama. He said that lockersly that day.

1592
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 13: I do not want drama. I don't want drama to

1593
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 13: be a part of this. But by the same Togan,

1594
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 13: they got to get this done and.

1595
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 11: They got to payment.

1596
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 13: I don't think they need this bleeding into mini camp,

1597
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 13: even like OTAs. Maybe if they just can't help themselves,

1598
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 13: but I think you want to go into mini camp

1599
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 13: with this done and not have it lingering in the

1600
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 13: break between that and training camp.

1601
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting when you're talking about this too,

1602
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 5: because all right, say, say you give brock Party fifty

1603
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 5: million dollars, which I think would be fair. Like, I

1604
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 5: know you're talking fifteen to fifty five and that's on

1605
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 5: the low range, but I think fifty million dollars brock

1606
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 5: Party is fair. However, that puts him outside the top

1607
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 5: ten as far as average annual quarterback salary. You're now

1608
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 5: between Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray as far as money goes.

1609
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,560
Speaker 5: But on the one hand, Jalen Hurts just won a

1610
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 5: Super Bowl YEP, so you should be probably okay with

1611
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 5: making less than him. But then again, a guy like

1612
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert is makingty two point five million dollars a year,

1613
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 5: So it's interesting that, like I'm interested to know, like where,

1614
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 5: like what does Brock Perdy think of himself and where

1615
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 5: does he feel.

1616
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 2: Considering what he's made so far in the NFL, which

1617
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 2: is like under a million a year?

1618
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it is irrelevant, doesn't It doesn't pay super well,

1619
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 5: especially in the quarterback position, So like where does he

1620
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 5: see himself and is he okay? You said he doesn't

1621
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 5: want dramas okay, then being outside of the top ten,

1622
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 5: then even if it meet like that at fifty million dollars,

1623
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 5: that's so much money that one we may have.

1624
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 13: To get Brock on the phone for, and it is

1625
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 13: so that we may need him to weigh in on this.

1626
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 13: I think Brock obviously, as he showed things very highly

1627
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 13: of himself as a quarterback and his ability and thinks

1628
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 13: he should be paid as such. I think Brock the

1629
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 13: person is probably willing to take a little bit more

1630
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 13: of a team friendly deal because that's kind of just

1631
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 13: who he is. But but the same token, I almost

1632
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 13: hesitate to say that because if someone else isn't, it

1633
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 13: doesn't make them bad. They're just not willing to do

1634
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 13: it because they need to take care of themselves in

1635
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 13: their family. So you know, it's a very it's it's

1636
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 13: a tough thing. But he doesn't want drama. I don't

1637
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 13: think he wants to be holding out. He said he

1638
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 13: didn't want to hold out, but they would see where

1639
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 13: things stood and he would do what he had to do.

1640
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 13: So I don't know because a question also on that

1641
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 13: Jalen Hurts contract. That contract was signed before he won

1642
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 13: a super Bowl? Correct, Hell?

1643
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, keeping it.

1644
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1645
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 13: I was like, yeah, so if he's that contract was

1646
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 13: signed before he won a super Bowl. So brought pretty

1647
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 13: could make the argument that, well, Jalen Hurt showed you

1648
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 13: he could get to a super Bowl. Jalen Hurts showed

1649
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 13: you what he could do and he got the money

1650
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 13: or showed them. So he's done the same thing. Brock

1651
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 13: Perty's gone to Super Bowl, yeah, and lost a very

1652
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 13: close Super Bowl. Brock Perty went to an NFC Championship

1653
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 13: game his first year, and had he not gotten hurt

1654
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 13: in like the first series, who knows what happened would

1655
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 13: have happened. So I think from Brock's perspective, if he

1656
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 13: was making that argument, there's no reason he shouldn't get

1657
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 13: the same amount of money because he at this point

1658
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 13: his career has shown the same things.

1659
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see where.

1660
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 11: He is sure is one thing.

1661
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 6: They are always very interesting.

1662
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 3: Oh man.

1663
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, excited to see how this unfolds. But Tracy, thank

1680
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 2: now it's time for our feel good story of the week.

1681
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 2: So I think that Game five World Series Dodgers win

1682
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 2: over the Yankees will be etched in LA and New

1683
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:22,839
Speaker 2: York fans brains forever for different reasons. But the Dodgers

1684
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 2: keep doing good things, not only in the community before

1685
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 2: the community, and Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who caught strike

1686
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 2: three thrown by Walker Buehler to win the World Series,

1687
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 2: he is now auctioning off that World Series ball through

1688
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 2: the Catching Hope Foundation, where one hundred percent of the

1689
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 2: proceeds will benefit LA fire relief efforts, which is just

1690
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 2: like one of the many ways and reasons like reasons

1691
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 2: like Dodgers and LA sports fans have continued to give

1692
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 2: back to fire relief efforts because yeah, okay.

1693
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 4: It's not headline news anymore. It is bought over, you guys.

1694
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 4: It hasn't even like.

1695
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 2: Really like the like they haven't even cleaned up this

1696
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 2: the fire zones yet, like it is still a complete

1697
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 2: disaster zone here, so like every little bit of help

1698
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 2: is incredible. The online auction will be hosted on the

1699
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 2: Memorabilia Network. Registration opens Thursday, March thirteenth. The bidding will

1700
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 2: begin Friday, March twenty first and continue through Saturday, April fifth.

1701
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 4: I'll post a link to that so you can see it.

1702
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 2: But Will Smith said, Los Angeles has not only become

1703
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 2: home to us, but it has welcomed and supported our

1704
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 2: family since twenty nineteen. Our goal here is to give

1705
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 2: back and partner with the city that means so much

1706
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 2: to us in the years of rebuilding that are to come.

1707
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 5: So, yeah, that's what you don't take into account when

1708
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 5: things like this happen is now, like now the real

1709
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 5: work begins. Of all, right, if you lost your home,

1710
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 5: now the insurance claims come, but then the insurance has

1711
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 5: to know like the fault, and you have to sift

1712
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,799
Speaker 5: through so many things. This is such a drawn out process,

1713
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 5: and it means that if you're not getting those payouts

1714
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 5: from your insurance right away, there are people that are

1715
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,759
Speaker 5: still left without homes, without places to live, without places

1716
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 5: to be, without jobs, all of that kind of stuff.

1717
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 3: It puts people out for a really long time.

1718
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 4: So anything that's really great, yeah, is so helpful.

1719
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 2: In shout out to Dodgers right now and Cubs who

1720
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 2: are in Japan living their best life. It is now

1721
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 2: even more than ever on top of my bucket list

1722
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 2: to go to Japan.

1723
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like.

1725
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,840

1726
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 2: learning about sumo wrestling and watching sumo wrestling, then upon

1727
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 2: fish Port where.

1729
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,040

1730
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 5: living in Los Angeles, because this is like the closest

1731
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 5: you can you know, otherwise I'm connecting through Los Angeles. Yeah,
