We look at the world of 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:23.120 pro football and the game called life. Do you Around 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:30.520 the NFL Podcast doesn't like other sports? Welcome back to 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.440 another edition to the Around the NFL Podcast. My name 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.720 is Dan Janzas, and I am joined by a room 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.720 filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.760 What's up, boys? Hey dude, what is happening? What is 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.680 going on? Byway, that's not true that we don't like 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:51.320 other sports? West Monster, San Antonio Spurs fan. He's a 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.559 little nervous by the way to too now. I used 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.480 to be a softball fan until last Thursday night. Oh wow, 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.840 Oh we're going there again. I was gonna say, Mark 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.040 is really the only one that doesn't like other sports. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.400 I'm jumping back. I love tennis. We've got so much 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.039 available time, and you know, watching or latching onto another 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.600 sport does not crack my top fifty of things I 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.360 want to do during the NFL off season. It's about escapism. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.000 When you're working in a cubicle at some law firm, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.160 football as your escape. When you're covering football all day, 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.360 sports are no longer what you want to escape to 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.360 when you get home. Softball is supposed to be your 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.520 guys escape. Well, it was an escape from fun before 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.520 the team even started Thursday night, I was watching warmups 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.600 and realized that my little uh diva act about the 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.520 starting lineup where I was batting meant absolutely nothing. I 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.680 could have batted in this game and it wouldn't have mattered. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.880 I don't know why we're talking about softball again to 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.200 leave the show, but I will say it was on 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.400 Sinko demyo. The game was played, and I got to 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.000 the field about a half hour before is a good 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.760 captain slash manager, Mr Manager, And when half my team 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.280 rolled in a little woozy for first pitch, that's when 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.040 I knew the game was over. Had nothing to do 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.240 with the outcome they were west was with some of 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.200 those people. I just want to say, that's that's my 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.480 number three hitter. No, I'm not your number three hitters. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.040 So if you're not gonna put heard I might as 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.119 well as well, wait and don't bury the lead here day, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.399 Reggie Jackson over here, the fearless, fearless leader on top 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.040 of the team is terrible. Let's start with there. But 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.400 on top of it you you come out of the 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.000 game just a waste of three hours of your time 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.720 with a torn hamstring. I tore my hamstring. Yeah, on 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.160 the second to the last play of the game, of 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.480 all things, on the groundball in the second down one 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.520 six um. I had a tear in my hamstring, blood 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.880 under the skin. Very disgusting, very painful. I could not 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.240 bend down all weekend, which made Mother's Day on Sunday 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.600 a lot of fun. When you're you're a big part 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.440 of Mother's Day and west one day you will learn 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.080 the same thing is you're supposed to kind of pick 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.880 up the mantle of almost both parents. You're supposed to 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.160 be the one doing the heavy lifting the least and 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.799 let and let mom enjoy her day. Is certainly does 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.080 deserve it. We have we're all very lucky to have 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.000 great wives. But that's very hard to do when you 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.800 have a two almost a two year old and a 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.000 torn hamstring trying to run around, bend over he's asking 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.360 for you to pick him up every like thirty one seconds. Uh, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.880 just a total the total misery show for the old 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.239 Zuser on Sunday, let the record show in a game 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.800 which we had no chance to win, down at least 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.400 fifteen runs, the old Zuser was hustling down the first bason. Literally, 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.560 if I had to make a list of the ten 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.360 stupidest things I've ever done, it was busting it down 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.800 the first base line, down one six in the last inning. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.520 Two spots up on that list, forming the softball team 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.360 to begin with, I saw the sniper up in the 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.400 trees when you went down like a sack of potabo, 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.080 I didn't go quite. I almost went collapse, which it 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.880 would been even more tragic. But two big signings by 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.280 the Way softball team. We have some issues on the 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.680 on the female side of the ball. Uh not pointing fingers, 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.600 but we need to to juice up the roster on 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.920 that side. Two big signings over the weekend. So we'll 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.240 see if it makes a difference. And we'll keep you 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.760 guys track, uh, you know, keep you guys up to date. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.720 I know a lot of people are interested. And before 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.640 you write it off, mark or only one in one. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.320 I believe that's a ton of work this weekend in 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.360 a behind the scenes scouting project that someone else can 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.360 take credit for when it works. Your due diligence, Your 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.400 due diligence is something to behold. I would just say, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.120 anyone on the roster, male or female, that continues to 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:28.160 not perform, we've got other options. Absolutely, today's podcast, um 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.320 is a solid one. I'm going to give it a 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.480 pre show grade of a B plus. That's like your 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.000 default pre show, steady pre show. I mean, if it 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.839 was less than a B plus, I'd be worried about 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.800 the direction of the show in general. But I'm proud 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.760 of the show, and I believe every show has the 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.240 potential to be a an A. But it's got to 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.760 start somewhere, and that's B plus. And what we're gonna 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:54.800 do today, I'm great. Yeah, I'm fantastic. You're watching some 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.800 tennis on Mother's Day. That's kind of cheating. What do 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.000 you mean, not at all? You're watching the Spanish Open? 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.440 I heard what are you talking about it? On Mother's Day? 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.480 Is there a Spanish Open? Uh? Madrid? You know? Wrapped up? 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.240 I watched Saturday, some good some good actions Saturday. That 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.240 was not Mother's Day though. Yeah. Um, well, good to 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:19.640 see you. A good topic today, we're this segment. It's 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.640 gonna be a segment called over under on rookies and 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.200 using one of those what are they called amber sands 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:33.839 ampersand amber sand emper amper sand old place old faces 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.000 slash new places.

There's always 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.800 a ton of stuff to talk about in the end 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.680 of the even in this quiet time. So why don't 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.040 we get to it? Uh, the irishman behind the glass? 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.440 How you doing, buddy, I'm doing great? Great? Would you 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.520 mind if we started the news? Of course?

It's usually the office, Yeah, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.479 that would be my guess, but I don't. Is it 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.960 the office? Yeah, it's Michael the Toby is it late period? 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.640 Office season five? All right? So you're still leaning a 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.520 little on the late side, dude, I want five? Come on, man, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.240 that the other one was like eight that I did. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.160 So let's if we're gonna use all right, I'm gonna 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.160 make a rule here, and you know I love your 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.120 work behind the glass and I don't follow your rules. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.400 But go on listen. You won't work here anymore. Um, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.120 I won't after October anyway. Well, I will shut you 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.880 down completely, irishman. If you don't listen to me right now. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.560 Season one through three of the Office is the only 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.479 drops you're allowed to use. I don't want to be 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.120 this guy, but I gotta be, because Mark, you know 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.400 anything past season four, it's a night. I agree with 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.640 you on this whole, total case study in our nation's 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.680 inability to cut a show off when they should. That's fair, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.400 complete inability to do that like Friends after the first 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.920 four episodes, you know, West, you're showing your age there. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:23.080 I'm sorry, it's not Mash. I don't even due all right, okay, Brandon, 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.920 I'm sorry. Oh, it's just you know, it might be 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.960 a millennial thing, like they thought The Office was a 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.200 show that should be looked at as a as a whole. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.400 But let's you know, I'm gonna look. Greg wants us 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.480 to get into the news. I just well, because I'm 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.640 not allowed to share my opinions, which is like the 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.840 office in general. Well a, you just did well, I know, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.600 but you guys, I've made I've made that. No Martyr Rittie. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.080 No one wants to hear that. I just called the 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.960 back end of the show a waste of time. So 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.600 that's okay if you didn't like it that much. I 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.120 mean I watched it a couple of seasons and that 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.000 was that was good. That was enough. I liked hearing 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.920 your opinion on it. Greg. Wow, this is a new turn. 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.000 Greg's not allowed to give his apparently. Let's get going 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.360 with Sam Bradford, who uh you know, he sent his 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.040 his agent out to do a lot of dirty work 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.760 in the last few weeks, calling up any radio station 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.480 that would have him to uh, to spread the word 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.960 that Sam Bradford did not want to be in Philadelphia anymore. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.680 He wanted to be with the team that saw him 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.560 as a long term solution. But guess what, Mark Sellen, 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.600 he didn't have any leverage Sam Bradford. So guess what 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.560 he has to get to work? So. NFL media insider 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.560 Ian Rapp Report reported that Bradford officially returned to the 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.240 Eagles facility Monday morning. Um we did. We then saw 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.480 some clips online and on Twitter of Bradford in action. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.080 So he is back. Uh. He released a statement, I'm 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.920 excited to be back on the field today with my 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.240 teammates and coaches. The business side of football is sometimes 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.600 a necessary consideration. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.760 Greg your thoughts, None of this mattered. I didn't have 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.440 that big of a problem with him doing it ahead 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.960 of time. He was trying to exercise the little leverage 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.440 that he could to see if he could be the 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.040 starting quarterback of the Broncos. That's basically what Ian Rapp 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.160 Report reported today. I mean, they were hoping that something 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.920 could work out for Denver. It didn't work. He should 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.800 have just returned immediately after the draft when he realized 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.400 it didn't work. He waits a week, He missed a 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.840 couple of meaningless weeks, and he'll be their starter week one. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.280 I'm so sick of everybody trying to exercise whatever's can't 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.440 leverage they have, Yeah, instead of doing the common sense thing. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.319 The guy has been the most overpaid player in football 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.400 since he entered the league. He's about the best quarterback 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.400 in the NFL. Go compete. I'm sorry, I I agree 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.000 with that vantage point too. Like I totally understand everyone 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.360 that has a big problem with it. I'm coming at 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.520 it more that it's not gonna end up impacting the 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.920 Eagles at all, that he's going to be their starter. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.800 I'd be really surprised if he was one of the 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.600 quicker he'll turns by the not a star player, but 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.719 a well known quarterback that we've seen. Because even if 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.560 he was massively underwhelming with the Rams, there was a 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.760 lot of optimism that he could have some sort of 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.760 a comeback story and tell a nice tale last year, 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.480 at this time, last August. You know, so at this 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.360 point now, the minute that statement came out, all it 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.760 was was panned and snark and people just shooting it 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.680 down and seeing him as completely insincere. He was in 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.080 a bad spot if he didn't battle this situation. But 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.360 he looks just like a bad teammate at this point 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.120 to a lot of people. All Right, he could not 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.200 have done more in in quicker time to get I mean, 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.440 nothing happened, Nothing could have gone any worse in this scenario, 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.280 he basically just annoyed the entire city of Philadelphia and 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.400 got absolutely nothing out of it. Uh you know it's 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.880 uh the quiet time of the year when there's a 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.040 star player saying he can defy the odds and play 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.600 to an age that no one has ever thrived that before. 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.760 Adrian Peterson was that guy. An interview with Monday Morning Quarterback, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.320 he said that he he's thirty one years old now 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.839 coming off a rushing title, he believes he can play 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.040 at a high level until he's forty years old. Peterson 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.480 also had to say this about his team in the 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.280 Minnesota Vikings, who of course won um double digit games 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.720 and made the playoffs last year. We are going to 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.560 have a good chance to win it this year. Win everything, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.240 he told Peter King. Sit back and watch, Sit back 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.240 and watch. You can be like I thought you guys 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.240 were at least a couple of years away. Nope, you 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.720 sit back and watch this year, guys, West what is 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.880 more likely that Adrian Peterson is a productive running back 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.320 at age forty where the Vikings win the Super Bowl 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.040 this year. Vikings win the Super Bowl this year is 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.800 either likely no, Is it just me? Or does it? 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.880 Adrian Peterson tell this story to Peter King every year. Now, Well, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.000 he always says he's gonna play the forty. He always 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.000 says he's gonna run, gonna break Emmitt Smith Vicker, this 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.800 is like the same story every offseason. I'm gonna play 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.640 forever the Vikings, I don't know. I'm just not sold 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.360 on their quarterback. And unless you have the Denver Broncos defense, 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.000 you're not winning the Super Bowl without a high end quarterback. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.760 Big year for Teddy Bridgewater, obviously, Adrian Peterson thinks a 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.959 lot of him uh to think that they have a 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.920 chance to really surprise people and go deep in the 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.280 playoffs and win it all. But he really needs to 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.920 take that next step. Maybe what they did by going 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.800 and getting Treadwell on offense that will make a big difference. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.440 Adding Treadwell to Stefan Diggs and their white Out Corps. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.400 I think they'd be on the list of ten teams 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.240 that could win a Super Bowl this year, at the 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.560 back end of that list, but I put them on it. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.040 I mean, there's been much more surprising Super Bowl champions 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.080 than them. I think going into a season I don't 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.400 like to coach a lot, they would be at the 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.880 very back end of that list for me. And when 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.040 it comes to Peterson, I I'll believe that of all 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.160 the running backs we've seen, he's the chance to play 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.880 deeper in his career and still be productive. But the 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.120 history is not on your side. The list of thirty 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.000 plus age running backs that have even had a thousand yards, 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.880 it's very slim. I think the odds are he's gonna 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.120 end up being the greatest old running back in NFL, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.599 the title which now is held by John Riggins Larry's on. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.800 I'm trying to think that guys that had big mid 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.200 thirties didn't they use It's like Emmett Smith had some 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.960 thousand John Henry Johnson, old Steelers running back, I believe great. 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.679 I believe my boy Curtis Martin is the oldest player 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.920 to win a rushing title at age thirty two. So 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.000 it's these guys fall off very This is a big 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.079 year for Adrian Peterson because you don't know how much 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.560 longer he'll be a P, even if he thinks he 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.720 will be a P forever. Speaking of a player that 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.040 fell off. Peyton Manning tough a year final year in 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.520 the league. But you know, feel better with that Lombardi 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.520 tro if you're in the Super Bowl ring. Now he's 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.360 out of the league retired of course. Uh scheck O 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.640 is a sandwiches. Has anybody heard a peep from Shack 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.640 about because he said that uh Manning would have a 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.360 front office job by the draft cost himself three sandwiches? 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.360 Have not heard anything from might be the biggest sandwich 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.000 kind of sour that we know. So I would hope 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.440 we gotta truck. He's going to be high levels. Look, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.319 I haven't even getten mind, I haven't even gotten mine 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.920 too that I won from him last year. All right, oh, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.240 little debbut that might be ground to take away this. Yeah, 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.640 we might have to get Scheck in here to talk 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.520 about this situation that's brewing. But anyway, so Peyton Manny 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.480 has time on his hands, is what I'm trying to say. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.400 And Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Peyton 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.480 visited Dolphins headquarters earlier the earlier this spring to meet 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.000 with his former offensive coordinator Adam Gates, who now, of 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.160 course is the coach of the Dolphins and to help 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:17.960 instruct quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Here's a quote from Tannehill Mark Sessler. 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.200 It was really cool a guy that had his career 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.240 the living legend that he is, coming off a Super 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.640 Bowl winning season. It was really cool just to be 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.600 able to sit back and pick his brain about things 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:32.120 he's done in this offense and football in general. Uh, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.520 do you think this could make a difference? Do you 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.720 think Ryan Tannehill, a guy who's entering a if listen, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.760 Teddy Bridgewater is entering a huge year. What does that 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.560 mean for Ryan Tannell's even begger? What would this help him? 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.920 I think if he if it blooms into the situation 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.640 where Tannehill and and Manning could text back and forth 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.800 during the year and you can bound stuff off him. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.280 It is a great situation. It also tells me that 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.640 anyone that thinks we're not gonna see Manning for the 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.320 next five ten years involved in some sort of football 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.360 scenari yo, nonsense. He can't stay away from the game. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.000 But I think it's a great start because under the 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.120 current cb A, these guys can't meet with their coaches, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.720 and you can't Tanniel was just sitting there waiting to 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.240 get knowledge and to learn about the new scheme. This 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.680 was a perfect fill in the you know, the quiet 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.880 time of the year situation. Are you suggesting Adam Gaze uh, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.120 surreptitiously used Peyton Manning as a sort of coaching trojan 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.800 horse and cheated. Look at you, Greg, I think you're 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.840 suggesting that. I think if God use a trojan horse 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.040 and thank you. But I'm a Dolphins fan. My favorite 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.160 part of this story is that Adam Gates carries that 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.400 much respect with Peyton Manning that he can just be Yeah, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.720 those two were so tight though. I mean we about 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.640 reading between the lines as well. And Kevin Patra pointed 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.040 out and his right up on this, Uh, you know, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.640 if we don't see Peyton Manning working with Paxton Lynch 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.040 and the and the Broncos, but he's down in Miami 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.440 with his old boy, Adam Gaze, a little bad blood 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.120 with the Denver side of things. I don't think it's 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.000 bad blood. It's awkward blood. I don't know awkward blood. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.120 I don't know where it is, but I I would agree. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.200 I think Patra hit the nail on the head there. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.400 He's not helping out, he's not helping out Kubiak and 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.200 the Broncos. I don't remember those stories of Manning and 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.000 Gaze like texting until two in the morning about just randomly. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:16.280 It was almost inappropriate. But it's a good sign. It 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.040 it supports something I laed uh we did. I did 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.760 a post collateral benefits who had a good draft for veterans, 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.240 I mean Ryan Tannehill. For for a guy who struggled 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.640 last year and it's kind of in a key year 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.200 of his career, they are doing everything possible to support him, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.240 whether it's draft picks, whether it's you know, just saying 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.200 he's our guy. There's no question not signing any backups, 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.680 getting a good coach that is a quarterback tutor getting 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.400 Now you get Peyton Manning in the mix, like they 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.680 are doing everything humanly possible for Ryan Tannehill to work. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.040 So maybe I shouldn't give up on him. All right, 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.240 you're back up. I don't know, I I did. I 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.960 did drop number one in our making believe I'm not. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.520 I'm not back on which one occupies the phou your 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:05.080 stable at Boys, Gino Smith or Ryan neither Uh. Speaking 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.800 of the Dolphins, Cameron Wake has agreed to a contract 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:13.199 extension with the team UH. The deal UH is extends 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.679 him through the seventeen season, so that's two years. The 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.040 deal includes ten million guaranteed, can make almost eighteen million 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.240 over the next two years. Rap Sheet reported UH same 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.600 Cameron Wake sneaky old by the way, sneaky old Hall 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.119 of Fame UH thirty four years old coming off a 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.960 torn achilles ended the season midway through UH last year, 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.520 but has been one of the best pass rushers in 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.560 the league when healthy UH since about two thousand ten 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.000 or so, I'd say, UM, and now he sticks around 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.000 with the Miami team that also, of course brought in 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.680 Mario Williams. What do you guys think about this move? 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:49.800 I think it's an example of a team that hasn't 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.320 managed its cap well having to hold its nose and 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.200 do something that they don't want to do. I've I've 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.040 talked about how cap problems are overrated. You can always 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.760 figure ways around. Well, how you figure way around him 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.480 is giving ten million dollars guaranteed to a guy that's 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.879 in that's coming off a torn achilles and his thirty 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.560 four years old, and you and you have to put 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.119 him on the team the next two years. When you 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.320 have no idea if he's going to be healthy or not, 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.560 but it lowers his cap number for this year, and 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.119 that was what they were trying to do. Pretty damning 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.600 review hard to I'm just saying, these are these are 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.280 the types of things you have to do because because otherwise, 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.080 like he seemed like a guy that might get cut, 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.240 they're saying he won't even start and he was gonna 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.600 get paid eight million dollars this year. So that's a 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.239 weird it's a weird combination. We have a model for this. 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.240 Robert manthis around the same age ruptures Achille ten and 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.280 came back had about seven sacks, but almost a non factor. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.800 Other pay cut news Danny Ammondola UH is staying with 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.600 the Patriots, but it cost him. Rap Sheet reports that 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.240 the Whiteout has agreed to a restructure two year deal 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.879 that will pay him seven point three five million, with 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.080 another seven fifty k available and bonuses and incentives. Uh. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.399 He was initially slated to make twelve million over the 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.400 next two years. UH. So it's a big haircut industry 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.760 term for a guy that now was competing with UH 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.320 seven eleven always opened Chris Hogan, UH, Greg your thoughts 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:15.119 on this well, it's unheard. Well, I can't remember a 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.240 guy taking a page. Can I just say, when where 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:19.640 did this come from? That we didn't want to hear 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.919 Greg's a page. I don't know what was that about. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.240 I didn't mean it do anything. It wasn't that anything 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:27.919 you wanted to hear. I didn't want to be the 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.800 third in the punch bowl telling you, guys, this show 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.480 that means so much to you, that's your favorite show 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.560 of all time. You've said early in the season, and 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.600 then you don't want to be the guy who's like, yeah, 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.359 it's not It was minutes before the episode when I 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.840 had suggested a book for people to read, and Greg 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.120 basically just said, NAT, don't waste your time, dumb book, 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.920 and like I so that it was like in real time, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.960
