He had a forty three. 72 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 4: I only jump forty two, and I thought I was 73 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: pretty freakish. He did a forty three and a half 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: inch vertical. Man, Now, let me ask you this speak 75 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 4: on the vertical.

They're lifting their heels off. Yeah, yeah, 88 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: I don't know for how long. I don't know for 89 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: how long. 90 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 4: And I never really looked at it, but I was 91 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: like I started studying seeing how these dudes was jumping 92 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 4: so high, Like if I would have got a step, 93 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: I might have went. I might have went up to 94 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: like forty eight if I got one step to go up. 95 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: You weren't allowed to step, but I thought you had 96 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: to stand flat footed like you couldn't you could wed 97 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 4: your heels off the ground. 98 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: Right, right, right, yep. 99 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know, but I see these guys are 100 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: taking their heels and no hate. I mean it's still 101 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 4: it's amazing. Feats Lorenzo Styles Junior. He ran a four 102 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 4: to two seven forty. You know Lorenzo Styles. People may 103 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: not remember and I was talking about him during the 104 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: during the show this week. The dad Lorenzo Styles Senior 105 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: was a beast of a football player, bro beast of 106 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 4: a linebacker. Uh and he's from Wespa, went to Farrell. 107 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 4: There will be debates that some people want to claim 108 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: him in Ohio. 109 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: We won't go there. 110 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: But he did finish and graduate in Western Pennsylvania at Farrell. 111 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: He's his son, Sonny. I mean killed it at six 112 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 4: foot five two forty four, did a thirty two Well 113 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 4: that's his arm length, thirty two and seven eighth inches 114 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 4: his arms. But he he ran outstanding. His vertical leap 115 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 4: was outstanding. And I mean he really really and my 116 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: estimation did a great job of raising his value. Which 117 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 4: this brings me to my question for you, should high 118 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 4: profile players participate at the Combine? 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 5: I mean I think it has to you know, do 120 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 5: with has a lot to do with where you're slotted 121 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 5: and where you're going to get drafted that you're looking 122 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 5: at this Ken John sadek Man and everybody was, you know, saying, 123 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 5: you know, how good of a tight end he was. 124 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 5: I mean last season he only had fifty one catches 125 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 5: for five hundred and sixty yards and eight touchdown. But 126 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 5: if you look at his workout, I mean, the numbers 127 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 5: don't even add up to the kind of athlete that 128 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 5: he is. They have him, I believe slotted to go 129 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 5: twenty third to the Philadelphia Eagles. Nick Sirianni, he will 130 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 5: not be there at the twenty third pick because the 131 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 5: performance that he has just put out at the NFL Combine, 132 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 5: he'll probably I'm going to say he's going to be 133 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 5: a top ten pick after what he just put on 134 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 5: display for everybody. 135 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: So you do believe you can improve your stock. 136 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 5: Absolutely, he would not be drafted past ten or twelve. 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 5: I mean, you're talking about a tight end. I believe 138 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 5: Vernon Davis frying a four to three eight. This guy 139 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 5: runs a four to three nine with a forty three 140 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 5: inch vertical. I mean, if you're a team and you 141 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: have if you're looking for a tight end and the 142 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 5: top ten or twelve picks. You have to take this 143 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 5: man off of the board because I mean there's not 144 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 5: a lot of guys in the NFL that are doing 145 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 5: that now. And you get him in the right system 146 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 5: and you know, disguise a limit. But you know, I 147 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 5: had to make a personal decision for myself when I 148 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 5: was going into the combine, going to the draft, and 149 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 5: you know, Peter Warick was he was the number one 150 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 5: wide receiver on the draft board, and you know, obviously, 151 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 5: being myself, I thought that I was the best receiver 152 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: in the draft. 153 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: So uh, you know, we showed up and you know, 154 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: Peter wore. 155 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: You were the best receiver in that draft. I mean 156 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: that I. 157 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: Believe I was, but you know, you know how it is, man, Peter, Yeah, 158 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: but but for the pros, you were better suited to 159 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: be a better pro. 160 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: But but pet was the best player, like electric player. 161 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: I mean, it just no doubt. 162 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: God back to you. 163 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 5: You know, he said that he wasn't going to work out, 164 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 5: and you know, uh, I went out and worked out 165 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 5: the first day. And you know, as as you know, 166 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 5: Tom Brady was my quarterback. It was just it was crazy, 167 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 5: and uh, he said he was going to work out, 168 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 5: So the rest of the combine. I said, you know what, 169 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 5: I'm not going to work out because I didn't feel 170 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 5: that I had anything to prove. I mean, I played 171 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 5: two years of college football. I still had another year eligibility, 172 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 5: and I chose to put my name in the draft. 173 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 5: I was averaging one hundred yards a game in college football, 174 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 5: So you know, I made a decision. You know, petterle 175 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 5: was not going to work out, I'm not going to 176 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 5: work out. And you know, I did my pro dead 177 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 5: in Michigan State. I ended up running a four to 178 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 5: four seven, and I think that that was the basically 179 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 5: the end of what I thought I needed to show 180 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 5: everybody because I knew I could play football, and you know, 181 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 5: going to the next level, I would say, listen, I 182 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 5: know y'all think Peter Warrick is the best wide receiver 183 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 5: in college, but going to the next. 184 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: Level, I believe that I was. 185 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 5: But there are a lot of guys that can raise 186 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 5: their draft status just by going to the combine and 187 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 5: putting up good, great numbers, because you would you wouldn't 188 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 5: have no idea that Kenyon Sadik had a forty three 189 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 5: inch vertical and ran a four to three nine based 190 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 5: off of the system that he was playing in, so 191 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 5: he wasn't being used and in the right way to 192 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 5: you know, to showcase his real talent. So you're gonna 193 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 5: see a lot of guys, I believe after this weekend. Uh, 194 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 5: you know, the Combine is going to be one of 195 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 5: those things that you know, these guys draft status. 196 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: Are going to are going to go up. 197 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 4: So when I was coming out, I didn't I didn't 198 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 4: work out at the Combine. I did my measurables, did everything. 199 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: I worked out out my pro day. But back then, 200 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: they shamed you if you didn't work out. You know, 201 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 4: it was like this shaming process that like, oh my gosh, 202 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: he has something. 203 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: To hide, and da da da, Like they really they 204 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: really put. 205 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 4: A pressure on you. That was in my estimate, it's 206 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 4: kind of like unnecessary, you know what I mean. Like 207 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 4: we're here, it's a job interview where we're taking the 208 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 4: Wonderlick tests, where we're going into all of the meetings. 209 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 4: We're doing the meetings with the teams, we're meeting the coaches, 210 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 4: were meeting the owners, we're meeting the gms, we're meeting 211 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 4: their representatives. Like that's really what it should be all about. 212 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 4: If you're a high profile guy. I mean to me 213 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 4: going into the combine heading out of your season, that 214 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 4: was how I was thinking. But now I gotta tell 215 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 4: you plex and just you know, this could be an 216 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 4: interesting conversation, maybe even to take into the next the 217 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 4: next segment. But brand building is now, it's encouraged it. 218 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: It's not frowned upon. It doesn't seem to be frowned 219 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 4: upon by the people who are measuring and judging you, 220 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 4: who are scrutinizing every little thing that you have going on. 221 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 4: It seems to be building a following, having a good 222 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 4: reputation and a good brand connected to your name and 223 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 4: your personal brand. With all this name, image and likeness. 224 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 4: I think it is the day and age because it 225 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 4: has turned into such a produced show. 226 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: Right, I think you do it. I think you do it. 227 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 4: And you know what, you may not run the time 228 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 4: you wanted to run, like we were always thinking, oh, 229 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: we may mess up if we don't run the time 230 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: we're supposed to run, or die to die if I don't, 231 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 4: if I don't show the way I need to show, 232 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: it's going to jack me up. But in reality, the 233 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 4: work that you needed to do, if it was going 234 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: to be defined by your workout at the combine, then 235 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: you should have stayed in school. If my work, if 236 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: my work, my body of work, was going to be 237 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: defined by the combine, then I should have been right 238 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 4: there with you, staying back in school for another year 239 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 4: because I came out early too. Right so to me, 240 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 4: if I could do it all over again, which is 241 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 4: not the same, it's very different now, the day and 242 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 4: age is very different. I would go into I would 243 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: go into the combine season even before even pre combine prep, 244 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: combine prep. I'm building my audience. I'm taking you behind 245 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 4: the scenes. I'm letting you see what I do heading 246 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 4: up to the combine. I'm documenting it. I'm letting people 247 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: know what I'm doing, letting them see what I'm doing, 248 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: making sure that they see that I'm still connected to 249 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 4: the community, making sure I'm giving back.

I don't 260 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 4: know that people Ohio State is a big school plex, 261 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: but I don't know that people knew about the Styles Brothers. 262 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 4: I mean, you may have heard of them, right, but 263 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: you don't know who they You might have not have 264 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: known who they are, right, but now everybody's talking about them, 265 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: you know, right. 266 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 5: It doesn't allow you to show your individual athleticism either. 267 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, football is a team game, and 268 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 5: you know guys are going to do whatever it takes 269 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 5: for them to help the team win. And now you're 270 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 5: seeing these instances of you know, guys being phenomenal athletes 271 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 5: which you which would not be on display if it 272 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 5: was not for the NFL Combine. 273 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: And that's why I say that I didn't. 274 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: Know these Styles Brothers were these gifted athletes as they are, 275 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 5: and now that they're putting it on for everybody to see, 276 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 5: and it's just another you know, you look at it 277 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 5: and you got to say this up man, how many 278 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 5: guys that we do not get to see, uh, just 279 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 5: because of where they played, the positions they played. Maybe 280 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 5: they're playing out of position and they are these phenomenal 281 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 5: athletes that we don't get the witness until the NFL Combine. 282 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: How about it. 283 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: I think it's a great opportunity to showcase yourself because 284 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 4: you're not going to get that type of national exposure 285 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: at your pro day. 286 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen. 287 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: So to me to take advantage of having the spotlight 288 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 4: on you, it's been a bit of a different mind 289 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 4: you know, mindset in terms of me where I'm at now. Again, 290 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 4: when I was playing, it was like, i'll do it 291 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 4: at I'll do it on our field. They said that 292 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 4: the track was slower and ending back to turning. Yeah, 293 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: there was always. 294 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: Right. 295 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 4: There was a lot of different factors and elements out 296 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: of felt comfortable doing my lifts, you know, back back 297 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 4: in state college. So I just chose not to work out. 298 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 4: But it wasn't Again, it wasn't as big a production. 299 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 4: But I almost feel like, man, maybe that it could have. 300 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 4: It could have helped me build my brand a little 301 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: bit more. A little bit more people may have known 302 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 4: who I was after after we left there. 303 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: You know, you never know. 304 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: But now for sir, building a brand.

And I'm just I'm. 420 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 4: Curious to get your, uh, your thoughts on where this 421 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 4: could potentially go with the new coaching staff and the 422 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 4: new direction in Cleveland. 423 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 2: Take a listen, we don't have to make that decision 424 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: anytime soon. 425 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 7: I think any player that we have in that room 426 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 7: we would expect to, you know, to compete to earn 427 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 7: a role. 428 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 2: Those two would be no different. 429 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing that we want to see 430 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 7: from Shador is just continue to growth. I think he 431 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 7: grew a lot from start one to start seven. You know, 432 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 7: I think certainly, you know, playing more efficiency, not putting 433 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 7: the ball, playing more efficiently, not putting the ball in 434 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 7: harm's way as much, you know. 435 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: Would be important. 436 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 7: You know, while maintaining the you know, the ability to 437 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 7: produce out of structure and generate explosive plays. You're not 438 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 7: going to see all that in the upcoming months because 439 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 7: we're not on the field. So the biggest thing that 440 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 7: he can do is learn the new offense, you know, 441 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 7: get in when with the coaching staff once our off 442 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 7: season program starts, continue to work on his his body physically, 443 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 7: and then make strides when we actually get on the grass. 444 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: All right, who was that? 445 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: That was the GM, right, Bo Andrew Berry? Okay, so 446 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 4: he had that to say, I'm I'm I'm curious because 447 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 4: you're talking about an open competition which Shador having shown 448 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 4: some signs of having the potential to lead this team. 449 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: But then you start to think you got a three 450 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 4: time pro bowler, an NFL passing yards leader, a Rookie 451 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 4: Team All Rookie Team guy from his rookie year, and 452 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson that is healthy, has the largest contract. You 453 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 4: have two rookie contracts with Gabrielle and Sanders, but you 454 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 4: got a mega contract with Deshaun Watson. He'll be healthy. 455 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 4: You can safely assume that they are not going to 456 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 4: be able to trade him with that contract. 457 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 2: I don't. 458 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 4: I just don't see any team taking on that size 459 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 4: of a contract. There would be no feasible reason to 460 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 4: absorb that that size of a contract. 461 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 3: You have him. 462 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 4: This is I believe, the last year on his deal. 463 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 4: Plex do you make that open competition? Why didn't Barry 464 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 4: bring up Deshaun Watson because shouldn't he be If it's me, 465 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 4: I got to see if he can start. I'm sorry, 466 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 4: I got for the amount of money I got him for. 467 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 4: I got to see if he can start. Before I 468 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 4: even have any conversations about anybody else. 469 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 5: He is talking about Deshaun Watson. Wouldn't he's saying that 470 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 5: it's an open Uh. 471 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: You don't think that's Dylan gabriel No, I do not listen. 472 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 3: You have to be able. 473 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 5: You have to get something out of Deshaun Watson. It's 474 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 5: the last year on his deal. Just like you said, 475 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 5: he's untradeable. Nobody's going to take that contract. So even 476 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 5: if the quarterback uh, you know, position and competition is close, 477 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson. 478 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: Is going to be the starter. 479 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 5: You have to be able to get some value out 480 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 5: of this young man. Five six years ago, he was 481 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 5: one of the best quarterbacks in all the football and 482 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 5: everything that he went through and he stepped back on 483 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 5: the football field, he's been a shell of who we 484 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 5: saw when he was in Houston. So I believe that 485 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 5: Andrew Berry is talking about Deshaun Watson, and when he's 486 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 5: saying that it's an open quarterback competition, he's not referring 487 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 5: to Dylan Gabriel in Shador Sanders Because it's remotely close. 488 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 3: They're gonna They're gonna start Deshaun watshingon, which they should. 489 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 5: And I believe that Deshaun Washington is going to be 490 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: the opening day starter for the Cleveland Browns when it's 491 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 5: all said and done. 492 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: Andrew Berry made. 493 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 2: This mess, so so the door will be Deshaun Watson out. 494 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 3: I don't. 495 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 5: I don't believe, so I don't believe. So I believe 496 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 5: if Deshaun Watson is one hundred percent healthy and everybody's 497 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 5: going into camp and everybody's healthy, I believe I just 498 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 5: believe that this competition from the quarterback position, Deshaun Watson 499 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 5: is going to be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland 500 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns. 501 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 3: Even if he doesn't be the Mountain. I agree. 502 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 5: You can't have a guy sitting on the sideline making 503 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 5: this amount of money. And we all know uh Should 504 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 5: is a good young player. He's going to continue to 505 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 5: get better. I mean, just last year we were talking 506 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 5: about this guy, you know, getting drafted in the fourth round, 507 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 5: and now he's on the brink of being a starting 508 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 5: quarterback for this franchise. But Andrew Barry created created this mess, 509 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 5: and I believe that that that they are going to 510 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 5: draft a quarterback in this draft. Dang, they have to. 511 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 4: Well, then that means that Dylan Gabriel's out. Then he's 512 00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 4: the odd man out. 513 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 5: I'm not saying he's an odd man out, but you 514 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 5: havena they ain't gonna carry four qb. 515 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 3: That they are not. 516 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 5: But you're going to have to go into this season 517 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 5: and at least look at a quarterback in the draft. 518 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe they find a dominant in the rough. 519 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 4: You just. 520 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: You never know, they already have a diamond in the rough. 521 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 4: Maybe they do like you, you if you're going to 522 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 4: draft a quarterback in this year's draft, it's probably going 523 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 4: to be later You're not going to draft pick on. 524 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: So if you're going to use a later round draft pick, 525 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 4: you're not going to get a better later round draft 526 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 4: pick than Shade or Sanders. 527 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: You're not going to get a later hockey. 528 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: How can you say that? 529 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 4: I don't how you are. I don't think you are 530 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 4: not with this draft class of quarterbacks. I do not 531 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 4: see there being a never know. 532 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: You do never know? 533 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: That that is that is potentially very very true that 534 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: you never know. But if I'm airing on. 535 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 4: The side of why would I spend a third round 536 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 4: in a few round on two willing and able bodies 537 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 4: that that were were you know? I mean Dylan was 538 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 4: a winner in college, Uh, Shador did well, and Shador 539 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 4: ended up being the guy that that started this year. 540 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: I don't see why you you waste a draft pick 541 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: on a guy. 542 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 4: Unless it is a late round draft pick, like super late, 543 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 4: and he's like the best on the board. Like I 544 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 4: get that, But but now you're talking about now somebody 545 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,719 Speaker 4: else is on the chopping block, and we know Deshaun 546 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: Watson is not one of those names. 547 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 5: If Shador Sanders is the opening day starter for the 548 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns, Andrew Barry is going to get fired. 549 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 4: Oh wow, Oh he's going to be He's going to 550 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 4: get fired. Well, then he's gonna then he's going to start. 551 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 4: He's going to start, and which is crazy, but is 552 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 4: going to start. Well, here's what's the here's what's crazy. 553 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 4: If Shador Sanders isn't starting, there could be fallout if 554 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 4: they're not doing well and Shadoor Sandy is not starting, 555 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,479 Speaker 4: which I think it gives you runway if you start. 556 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, ay, you you show you you do some justification. 557 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 4: I'm justifying the fact that we're seeing if our highest 558 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: paid employee can actually get out there and be a 559 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 4: you know, a player, positive contributor to the team. If 560 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 4: it works, you're getting your money's worth somewhat something like 561 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 4: coach new. 562 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: System, right, So it might work out. 563 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 5: You have you have no idea how how these young 564 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 5: men are going to pick up this offense. 565 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 4: In theory, Shadoor or Dylan should not beat out Deshaun Watson. 566 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, I do not give elite quarterback in the 567 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 4: league at this point in time. 568 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 2: But I don't think that he's I think he's better. 569 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 4: I think today he's better than Shadoor and Dylan Gabriel 570 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 4: though I agree that's I think that that's where the 571 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 4: dilemma is going to be. Do you go with the 572 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 4: player that has the money, that is the vet that 573 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 4: is like flicker like showgun to Harlem right now, Like 574 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 4: he like he pulled out his glow, but it's flickering. 575 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 4: It ain't it ain't it ain't strong like LeRoy's. 576 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: It's old. 577 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 4: It's old, and it's falling. It's going away, you know 578 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 4: what I mean? Like you got to give him the opportunity. 579 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 5: One thing thing like about Andrew Barry, he said that 580 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 5: she stands needs to work on his body, Like what 581 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 5: does that mean? He probably don't like the way built? 582 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 5: I guess chubby, Like what's going on? Like he needs 583 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 5: to work on his body. 584 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 3: He wanted to be. 585 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 5: I don't understand that part of it, but I guess 586 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 5: he's sending out, you know, messages that he needs to 587 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 5: get stronger, faster, bigger, whatever the case may be. I 588 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 5: don't know, but yeah, I'm just I'm just saying that 589 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 5: Andrew Berry Man, he really created a mess with this 590 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 5: whld Deshaun you know watching thing, not just from the contract, 591 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 5: but you know, the man's been injured, so he really 592 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 5: has had really hasn't had the opportunity to really go out. 593 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 5: It's been a long time since the dude, it's really 594 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 5: playing long the achilles and the injuries that he's had 595 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 5: over the last three or four years. Will it be 596 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 5: one hundred percent going into camp. We don't know, but 597 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 5: I agree with you one hundred percent that I just 598 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 5: believe that if the competition is close, I don't think 599 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 5: that you know, Shador Sanders or Dylan Gabriel will be 600 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 5: able to be out beat out Deshaun Watson. When it's 601 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 5: all set and done. 602 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 4: We're gonna keep the quarterback conversations going. We got a 603 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 4: story from Mendoza from the combine, which is funny. It'll 604 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 4: blow your mind, but it really shouldn't because that's just 605 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 4: how it goes down sometimes in the league and how 606 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 4: them conversations take place.

We're going to continue to football talk into 649 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 2: the first segment of hour two. A lot a lot 650 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 2: to get to. 651 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 4: We'll talk Mendoza uh and that that segment. But right now, 652 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 4: let's talk George Pickens. 653 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 3: Uh. 654 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: He gets his his franchise tag plex and it is 655 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 2: roughly I believe twenty What is it? 656 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: What is it? 657 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 4: Bo twenty six, twenty eight, twenty seven almost twenty eight million, 658 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 4: almost twenty eight million, okay, twenty seven point twenty nine 659 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 4: eight million for next season? 660 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: Is what it is? 661 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 4: He is non exclusive, So to everyone out there, obviously 662 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 4: every time, you know, at this time of the year, 663 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 4: everybody gets into what's exclusive, what's non exclusive? Non exclusive 664 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 4: meaning he can go out, his agent can talk to 665 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 4: other teams. But if another team were to ma match 666 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 4: the offer, they would have to take him and give 667 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 4: two first draft picks in return for that compensation. So 668 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 4: do you think that this is worth the situation? How 669 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 4: do you feel about Pickens? Is this the right move 670 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 4: by the Cowboys? An interesting note plex we saw what 671 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 4: happened with Michael Parsons last year. Things kind of broke down, 672 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 4: the relationship soured. Some people put the agent at the 673 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 4: middle of the epicenter of it, David Mullaghetta, who is 674 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 4: actually coincidentally or ironically, whichever one you want to throw out, 675 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 4: there is the same agent two one George Pickens. So 676 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 4: there's some interesting storylines connected to it. How do you 677 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 4: see this playing out with Pickens? Does he play himself? 678 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 4: Do they wait for him to play himself? Into a 679 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 4: new contract. Will they do a standoff and try to 680 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 4: get a deal done before he starts playing? 681 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 2: How do you see it? Plex? 682 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 5: You know, I really don't understand this move fully by 683 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 5: the Dallas cat Boys. I get a piece of it, 684 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 5: but it doesn't make sense to me. 685 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 3: But you know who am I? Jared Jones knows that. 686 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: Tell me why? Why does it not make sense? Why 687 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: is it not? 688 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 5: Because you're allowing him with the franchise tag for other 689 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 5: teams to come in and to match the offer, to 690 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 5: give him the choice or the option basically to leave 691 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 5: this franchise. Secondly, I understand you're putting the franchise tag 692 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 5: on him because CD Lamb's an Your salary is thirty 693 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 5: four million dollars. You can't pay George Pickens more than 694 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 5: CD Lamb. So that's one of the reasons why you 695 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 5: put the franchise tag on him. 696 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 2: Will his agent will they want more than CD Lamb. 697 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, That's that's how the game goes. 698 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 4: Based upon what grounds? What grounds would Pickens have to 699 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 4: ask for that type of money. 700 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 5: He's coming off of career year he had ninety three catches, 701 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 5: fourteen and twenty nine yards, which a lot of loss 702 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 5: which which is what basically what Ceedee Lamb had when 703 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 5: they gave him his new contract. 704 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 3: The numbers are all most identical, so I did not know. 705 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, so teams around the league are, you know, basically 706 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 5: looking at the situation for George Pickens. 707 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 3: Is he a thirty four to thirty five million dollar 708 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 3: wide receiver. 709 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 5: I personally believe that the franchise tag devalues what George 710 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 5: Pickens is worth. 711 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 3: Wow, I really do. 712 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 2: But the Dallas I feel like you know that that 713 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 2: that is going to be the. 714 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 5: King the chess piece for these teams, the decision that 715 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 5: they have to make based off of some the things 716 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 5: that we have seen him do on the football field 717 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 5: from an effort standpoint. That's the only thing that I 718 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 5: believe that's holding him holding him back for teams to 719 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 5: come in and say, you know what, we are going 720 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 5: to make George Pickens one of the top five highest 721 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 5: page wide receivers because he has that kind of ability. 722 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 3: Nobody's doubting that what they are putting into question is he. 723 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 5: Going to play hard every dayn on Sunday and for 724 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys to put this franchise tag on him 725 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 5: and allow his agent until July fifteenth to get a 726 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 5: long term deal done, either with the Dallas Cowboys or 727 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 5: not to give him in teams that option for him 728 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 5: not to no longer be a part of the Dallas Cowboys. 729 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 5: And I believe that there's going to be one team 730 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 5: that's going to come out and say, you know what, 731 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 5: we are going to pay cd lamb thirty three to 732 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 5: thirty four million dollars. 733 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 3: If you're the Dallas Cowboys. 734 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 2: I mean, you're paying on twenty twenty seven right now. 735 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 5: I know. So what do you do if another team 736 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 5: comes in and matches his salary the same amount of 737 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 5: money that you. 738 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you. 739 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 4: I think they're hoping that somebody comes in and does it, 740 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 4: because if you're gonna be able to garner two first 741 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 4: round draft picks out of it, I believe that Jerry 742 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 4: Jones is valuing the draft picks more so than valuing 743 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 4: George Pickens. They know George Pickens from the inside. We 744 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 4: know George Pickens from the outside, and the things from 745 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 4: the outside. There are some things that just raise red 746 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 4: flags from the outside, So I can't even imagine what 747 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 4: that looks like from the inside. Not trying to throw 748 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 4: no shade at George Pickens. But if you've earned your reputation, 749 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 4: you've earned your reputation. You've already earned it in Pittsburgh, 750 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 4: and a lot of people talked about it and discussed it. 751 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 4: Sid Tomlin headed and stuff like that, and did a 752 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 4: great job of covering him and covering for him. Eads 753 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 4: to him being sent away like that's basically what seems 754 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 4: to have happened in Pittsburgh was he was sent away 755 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 4: from Pittsburgh and goes to Dallas. At one point in time, 756 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 4: he was playing at such a high level. To me, 757 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 4: he was playing better than Ceedee Lamb. He was the 758 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 4: better receiver between two. Ceedee Lamb is a consummate professional. 759 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb plays through injuries. Ceedee Lamb is a warrior. 760 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 4: My respect level is super high for Ceedee Lamb. I 761 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 4: would not value George Pickens on the same level as 762 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb mindset wise, and that to me would be 763 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 4: my biggest concern. 764 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 2: Don't think that I would would would give up. 765 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 4: Two first round draft picks with those question marks, even 766 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 4: though talent wise, if he's straight, he's one of the best, 767 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 4: if not best. You know, most gifted players receivers in 768 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 4: the game. But hey, we'll see how that all plays out. 769 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 4: It'd be interesting to see if a team does take 770 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 4: George Pickens up on that franchise tag and pull them away. 771 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 2: Try to pull them. 772 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 4: Away, but hour two is coming at you, Coffs to 773 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 4: be up. This is up on game Fox Sports Radio.
