Welcome to The Command Center Podcast. 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.199 I'm Logan Paulson here with Fred Spoot and Satanamus and 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.680 as always, we are presented by Cognier Technology, Secure Today, 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:45.240 Shake Tomorrow, and we are in full off season swing 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:46.200 here and there. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.239 We made it to the season late this year. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:48.560 Yeah. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.280 Yeah, I did my first draft simulations last week. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.400 Like usually I'm like, I'm mean it like in January. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.840 I did my first one the other day and I'm like, oh, 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.720 this draft is it's kind of iffy. 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.960 Yeah, I'd be in the fall because I'm kind of 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:04.720 like lost. 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.800 I haven't been in this I haven't got into things 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:08.200 this late. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.360 So I'm sitting here like a Damn, I feel like 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.000 I'm waiting for something else to happen. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.160 Yeah, like now it's over ten. 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.600 Yeah, this year was definitely a way different, like pushing 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.720 everything back, Like you know, Jason and I go down 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.080 to the Senior Bowl every year. Yeah, and it was 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.000 like game I came in on Monday for work, we 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.240 left on Tuesday and was gone for the whole week, 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.720 and I was just like it was just how tight 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.960 it all was like, and how the prep is different now. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.679 But it was good to be winning games in the 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.560 playoffs and getting to this point. But now we got 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.960 to talk free agency, and so this team is in 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.399 a very unique situation. Fred In Santana, they have twenty 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.920 nine free agents, right, yeah, half it's half a team, 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.800 half a roster, like, yeah, at least it's a little 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.520 over half. Yeah, because we've got fifty three guys on 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.080 the active roster, right, twenty nine. Do the math there 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.240 for yourself. So obviously there's gonna be a lot of turnover. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.160 Here, right. Is that a good thing or is that 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:01.800 a bad thing? 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.920 And I think, and to cut you off at the past, 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.920 there's probably good things about it, and there's probably bad 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:06.400 things about it. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.760 Okay, can I ask you some logan, Yes, is it 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.800 guaranteed it is going to be as much turnover because 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:11.880 of it? 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.679 The is twenty nine? Do you think they want to 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:14.400 at least keep. 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.760 Half of those dudes so their roster is not fully 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.840 changed though? Just because they are free agent don't mean 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:20.359 they leave it. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.680 Yeah, And so basically they're not they're they're pending free 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.040 agents because like you're not technically a free agent until 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.880 sometime in May end of the league year, right, So 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.880 we're talking about guys that are not renewed for twenty 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:30.400 twenty five. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:30.720 Yea. 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.280 And so for me, I think that's a good question. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.480 I think that's ultimately what you're trying to do, right 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.760 is bring make sure you're bringing a percentage back. I 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.440 think the thing is who are you going to bring back? 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:40.880 Right? 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.800 Because there are some interesting people here, Like there's some 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.119 old guys that need to be coming back because leadership 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.040 and production all those different things. But is there anything 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.680 to kind of to be able to say we're going 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.760 to turn over maybe over half these guys maybe you 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.440 know what I'm saying, like not bring back half of them? 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.320 Is there a benefit to that? 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.639 Yeah? I think you bring back you try to bring 0:02:58.720 --> 0:02:59.520 back half of them. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.320 But then you ask yourself, now, now that I got 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.120 these baseline guys back, which position do I want to 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.799 upgrade and how do I want to proceed by doing that. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.560 Am I gonna upgrade this position through the draft? I'm 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.600 gonna upgrade this position through free agency. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.480 So I think that's the thing. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.400 And you're right, it's some guys on here, legit starters 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.959 contributed to this team that I think you got to 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.440 sit back and take a long look. And that don't 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.760 mean you're just looking at I own free agents. You're 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.880 looking at other free agents too, and say, can I upgrade? 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.520 Did this guy get better as the year go on? 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.040 And is he what coach Gibbs used to call a 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.560 core commander? Is he a core guy? 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.040 Speaking to that, I think having those core guys, I 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.040 mean we're not even still having those core guys. Having 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.119 a season that we had last year gives the commander's 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.120 staff for leverage. I'm saying that, Okay, some of these guys, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.560 whether they play excellent or not, they gonna say, man, 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.320 I take let's to come and stay here. So I 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.120 think we have that going for us. And then you 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.720 know we ain't like God I honestly see a bunch 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.000 of these guys names just not not calling any like man, 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.480 look at man, run it back with me. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.120 You know what I'm saying. You give me a change, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.280 give me what you gave me last year. 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.080 You know what I mean, Because when you have a team, 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.680 you know there's success beyond just you know what I mean, 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:13.560 getting that paycheck. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.080 No, I think that's one hundred percent right, And I think, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.520 like it's interesting because I like what you said. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:19.800 There are they core guys. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.400 And this is something I always have a hard time 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:22.680 when people like, oh, look and who they're going to 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.039 bing breack, Like it's like I gotta watch, right, they 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.240 got a nice watch. I like to watch, and I'm 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:28.600 trying to give it to you and you say, well, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.360 how much is it? Because it doesn't If I say 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.040 it's ten bucks, You're like, hell, yeah, come on down, 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.760 come on back. But I'm like, hey, it's it's fifty grand. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.279 You're like, maybe I'll find it different. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.359 What the bad is in there personally for you because 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.200 it's sentimental bag correct, But the value I don't see 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.440 that value on the outside. So maybe people on the 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.880 outside in the NFL don't value some of these guys, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.240 it's heavily as we do. Especially when you talk about 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.160 just one game I would throw out there, Bobby wagg Yeah, right, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.279 that's a great that's a great point. We're talking about intangibles, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.440 we're talking about leadership, we're talking about setting the tone, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.120 we're talking about betting there done that. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.279 I got more reasons to bring you back than just money. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.320 Yeah, and also his relationship to Jade, And I think 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.000 that's something that's huge, right, It's like there's there's intrinsic 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.960 like when you say core commander. I like the way 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.680 you said that, right, because it's guys that imbody the culture. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.880 They played a certain way, they have a certain leadership 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.080 and mentorship style. Now is their role going to be 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.520 the same. Like so, for example, I could bring Bobby back, 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.560 but I could also draft a young linebacker, right. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:27.839 Yeah, for him to mentor and teach. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.159 And again because you always with an older player like Bobby, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.719 who again is going to be a Hall of Famer. Yeah, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.680 and again his impact on this roster is like indisputable 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.240 time waves for no man, No, what's the contingency if 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:40.880 you do bring him back? 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.560 What do you think is appropriate? The numbers? 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:42.760 Right? 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.800 Works for both parties. I think you still need a 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.960 prep So maybe you find a young free agent linebacker, 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.720 you find a guy in the draft, and that's where it, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.600 like it becomes a little bit different because it does 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.240 change how you're building the team after that. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.480 And to forget too, we have a young linebacker who 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.080 I think he's probably was mentaling a lot last year. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.320 He didn't he didn't play on me. So I'm like, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:02.880 trust me. When you throw a name like that, that's 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.600 an obvious name. You know, that's a guy that we 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.240 don't even have to talk about when it comes to 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.960 you know what level of I guess you could say. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.000 Interesting, we gott in him. Here you go. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.320 And again, like we're not saying that Adam has to 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:15.080 bring this guy back. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.119 This is just our opinion, because it's just common sense. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.960 Adam is this is the one thing, Like we know 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.520 a lot about this team. We covered this team, we 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.119 talked to people a lot. But I got bumped into Adam, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.120 you know, down at the Senior Bowl briefly, and I 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.680 was just like the amount of stuff this guy has 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.640 to know is insane. Like he's talking to the director 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.400 of college scouting, he's meeting with prospects, he's thinking about 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.479 what he's doing with coaches and for like the amount 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.440 of information he's got his disposals to So this is 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.760 just our opinion here. Yeah, right, but I think yeah, 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.000 based on what we've heard and seen from Bobby. Yes, right, 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.600 a guy that I think is really interesting. Let's start, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.200 let's go by position, Yeah, John Bates zach Ertz. Yeah, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.159 that to me is so interesting because you're not going 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.360 to find a better blocking why than John Bates in 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.880 the NFL. And zach Ertz had seventy seven catches last 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.760 year in this offense. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:58.960 But he's also thirty four. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.360 Years and after to say he's thirty four years old 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:02.240 with gas in the tank. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:03.240 That's what he proved to me. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.120 My age is what it is with gas in the tank. Now, 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.160 if I'm building this team and I got to pick 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.920 between the two, I'm going with zach Ertz. I'm going 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.520 with zach Kertz. But in my mind's eye, if I'm like, 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.360 because I'm trying to build a championship one dough, in 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.920 my mind's eye, a couple of guys that started for 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.040 us last year, if they're your second screen guy, that 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.280 means your depth is that much better and your team 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:29.560 is that much talenty. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.480 Talk about that. That's a interesting point because like again, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.840 like you can resign a guy and I can layer there. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:34.520 I can layer. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.160 Yeah, you can layer stuff in there. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.080 Like if I bringing in if I bring zach Ertz back, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.800 and then I'm just throwing it out that hypothetic I 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.440 go trade for a cow pits hypothetically, and now zach 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.440 Ertz is my number two tight end who I'm gonna 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.040 still put. 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:50.520 On the field. 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.560 Yeah, yeah, So I just I want to stack positions 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.560 because I feel like we got to the end of 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.760 the playoffs and it showed us where we had depth problems. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.600 Think, this is a this is this is the point, right, 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.040 Like we love like I if I read every name 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.680 on this list after the Sea, I love all these guys. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.760 But the thing when you're in that big chair, when 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.560 you're the GM chair, you can't think about, oh, I 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.480 really like John Bates. I got to make the best 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.840 tight end room possible I can for the dollar amount, 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.680 And so it's always about how do you improve? And 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.080 I think that's the underlying thing, right, And I do 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.600 think like to me, when I watched John play, to me, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.400 he's a core commander, right, but to your point, Fred, 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.160 it's like John Bates and then can we add like, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.120 can we add to that room? Can we say zach 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.719 Ertz and somebody else and benson it and have that 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.400 group of four be really dynamic? 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:38.640 Right? 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.199 Yeah, I'm sure you've been in situations. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.320 So my question would be what y'all mentioned in them 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.880 two names? And like I said, this is just us 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.600 speculating would you go for the season guy or the 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.640 younger guy? And then add I won't. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.680 I won't because him he was he was, like I know, 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.600 he was so damn good like this year. It's hard 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.600 to quantify how he you know, how we talk about 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.400 the safety blanket and midfield beyond the same. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.120 That's where that's where I get worried about not bringing 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.600 him back. Like Jayden has this relationship with him. You 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.199 can trust him on third down. He can win a 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.920 man situation, situations, he can win in the red zone, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.040 and so losing that production is scary to me. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.959 Yeah, and that's why I can't lose him. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.920 I want him to be a part of his team, 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.120 no matter if you one eye too, I really for 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.640 you to be a two because you know he gonna 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.240 show up regards regardless. And when I do my two 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.280 tight end sets, both tight ends three, and I. 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.360 Think people forget that when they brought him in, they 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.520 wanted him to be a rotational third down red zone 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:35.000 g Yeah. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.080 So basically the role he was supposed to have this year, 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.440 you can't have next year because we. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:40.760 Needed him to do more. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.320 If somebody compete, some compeace for that level and compet 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:45.880 to that level, and you know. 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.760 Autright, I'm fired with that. But he the guy in 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:50.679 the tight end room there. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.840 Yeah, And I think the other interesting one and again 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.600 we're gonna look at a couple of different positions. Here 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.240 is the receiver room. You got Dianny Brown, you got 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.520 Noah Brown, you got Jamison Crowd, and you got oz Right. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:02.880 All those guys. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.400 They this year they he go to the crazy thing 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.040 about the four guys you just name. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.280 They kind of did this rotation yearly. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.559 It's the number two and whenever they number was called, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:17.840 and they do it different ways. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.600 Whenever they numbers was called, showed up. They showed up. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.839 Now we just talked about upgrading the room. If I'm 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.960 an upgrade the room, I hate to say it, I 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.600 might can't sign with two out of. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.120 The four I think that's fair. Yep, that's fair. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:33.719 I see that. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.200 And this means I got to pick between one of 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:41.560 the Brown brothers o Z. And listen, if anybody has 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.920 grown on me like a mold, I'm telling you right now, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.000 James and crowd dude. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.720 And that's the thing, is like, when you talk about 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.880 commanders guys, I don't think you could look at any 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.120 one of those four guys and say they're not commanders. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.360 But what I also will say is like I had 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.960 a conversation with Adam Peters when I got my last 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.480 year in San Francisco. Any basically like, yeah, Logan, we'd 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.240 love to have you back. You're a core guy for us. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:02.840 We think you bring a good culture element. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:09.360 But but but but we want we want to get 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.480 better at the room, right, so you would be the 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.520 third rotational guy, kind of special teams up and down 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.559 on the roster, practice squad, bouncing back and forth. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.319 And but I think that's the conversation you got to 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.600 have here, is like, even though Noah Brown, Diammy Brown, 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.439 Jamison crowder Oz are all probably really solid depth pieces 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.560 with two upside, do you say we want you back, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.480 but we're going to continue to look for that true 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:32.680 number two. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.760 Yeah, now here go to think about it. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.319 Did either of these guys play themself to the point 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.600 that other teams questions, like, if you say it, who 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.120 had the best season out of these four? 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.360 I would say Noah, Yeah, I would say Noel Brown. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:48.960 All right? 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.480 Now, do I think Diamy opened some eyes? Not people 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:59.480 young enough to have that chancel. So it's kind of 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.960 like supply and demand on this one. I think a 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.960 guy like Oz, even though he made some plays, I 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.520 would think they'll probably go after the Brown brothers more. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.400 I say I make it. I mean, I won't even 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.480 go I want It's not that hard. You look at 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.240 the guy who's, like you said, a core guy who's 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.520 a veteran who I know is gonna produce and I 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.440 can get cheap. That's crowded boom, So I'm locking him 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.640 down a sap. Then now I'm gonna pick through the 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.199 next the last three. Okay, I'm gonna bring a guy 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.000 in probably that's gonna fight one of these guys for 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.600 that true number two positions. So who's the guy that 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.679 I know that would be cheaper, but that's gonna get 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:33.480 me the same production? 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.000 Now you now you weigh those options that way, I. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.640 Look at Nor and I look at Diaman, and I'm 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.520 saying to myself, Nor probably not want to go nowhere 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:42.040 and get. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:43.840 In the contract. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.079 But is he willing to compete for that second job? 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.360 As I bring a guy in that's probably I'm gonna 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:49.720 have a give. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.040 His whole career j on this list. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.760 By the way, Aft, Oh yeah, you forgot about kJ 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.400 but then you got the kids and a guy like 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.640 Diyami Diamy I believe truly, being that he has his 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.840 youof and he showed up, He's going on. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.120 Somebody gonna want to use. Somebody is going to try 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.120 to sign him like this. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.640 His agent won't let him rush to re sign with us. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.079 His agent gonna try to tear him. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.800 Be patient, let this thing play out a lib bit 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.440 where Jameison what a contract hit? M hm. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:20.080 Yeah. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.800 And I think that's another thing to think about too, 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.199 is they could this is again hypothetical university, you could. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.720 You could resign all five of these guys, But then 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.880 you're gonna when trading camp comes, you're gonna cut cut 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.760 two of them, right, because you've brought in two other 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.680 people that either in the free agency or in the draft. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.280 Like that's the thing is like when I was the 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.040 longer I was around, the more I was like kind 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.120 of a bottom of the roster guy. Is you see, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.120 like guys want a foundational elements of their roster where 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.319 it's like, hey, we feel good if we don't get somebody, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.600 but we're looking for somebody. And so here's a room 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.480 where I think all these guys could maybe should be back, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.280 but they're gonna find a piece, you know, And like 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.040 the big name floating around is Twins, Chris Godwin, and 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.040 you're gonna. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.040 Trade whatever it looks like. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.240 Right, get that piece in there. And then it's like, okay, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.960 well now now now we can trim the fat and 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.680 get guys out. We need to get guys out. And 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.480 I think the one thing about Adam Peters from my 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.120 own experience dealing with him, is he told me he's like, hey, man, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.040 like we want you back, but this is the score. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.000 At least he was straight up with me, so I 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.200 could make a decision as a veteran and say, well 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.880 that's cool, I'm gonna go look someplace else. 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:22.200 And that's something I always appreciate. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.560 And we also know when you are not the legit 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.040 one or two special teams is how you make it. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.240 And when I look down this list, I don't you 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.680 know it's the Keys play special teams and they got the. 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.200 Two main special team people. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.400 So as I continue to check these things, crowd of 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.080 continues to. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:41.720 Come back up. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.320 And then I say, I have to pick between one 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:46.160 of the Brown brothers. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.760 I just feel like I can't have both. Yeah, they 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.160 probably both the play special teams too. He was gone. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.720 But if you have that conversation, if you're at them right, 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.600 like one of those guys is going to be like 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.600 probably not, you know, like I got a better opportunity. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.960 So I think that's where again, like that's why it's interesting. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.280 I think they all could come back. All maybe you 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.200 should deserve to come back, but just just know another 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.320 person is gonna come. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.760 Yeah, and we all know that most of these decisions 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.720 I made regardless of how good the team is and 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.800 regardless of how much these guys want to be around 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.040 something winning and winning formula like we have here to play. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.520 They want to also get the max to what they 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.000 feel like the state's career out, you know, for their potential. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.200 You know where they at, you know what I mean? 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.440 So if they see money elsewhere, they're gonna have to go. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.200 Some of those guys gonna say, hey, man, it just 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.200 makes more sense for me to go elsewhere if good 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:33.320 teams lose good players. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:34.000 This is part of it. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.640 And then the other one, the other position group I 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.040 just wanted to call attention to. And then I got 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.840 a question about one specific guy. So this is the 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.880 last we're gonna do a position group. It's Michael Dieter, 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.680 Cornelius Lucas, Trent Scott. All three offensive linemen, all three 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.840 swing offensive players are up as free agents. Do you 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.880 try to resign some of those guys. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.480 You have to have I got I got to resign 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.600 Theater all right, even though it didn't end well at 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:57.240 the end of season. 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:58.880 He played good in spots. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.880 I just got to have a backup center most definitely, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.000 and he could play guard. Yeah, all right, you brought 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.000
