I I used to I like to 37 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: think of us as kind of the like the two 38 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: and a half men of the podcast, you know, realm. 39 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: It's like not really critically popular, but hugely successful, like 40 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: major ratings, Like we don't really get respect um from 41 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: our colleagues, but we just deliver. Hue hGe numbers at 42 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: like eight pm on CBS. You know that's us showed 43 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: Jackass or something like. We are appealing heavily to a 44 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: certain set subset. I couldn't. I couldn't think of that 45 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: other one where they're scientists. That's what I was really 46 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: going for. Uh no big bang theory. I don't know 47 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: whether the Jackass that that's different marks, but I know 48 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. Greg. It's like kind of 49 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: like the TV shows I never ever ever want to 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: watch in my entire life. So if that's who we 51 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: are in this in the podcast game, that's kind of 52 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: a rough sitch in a big spot for our show. 53 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: But you know, some people say, oh, it's just an 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: honor to be nominated. Screw that we don't win. I'm 55 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: burning this mother down. Okay, okay, all this equipment here 56 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: that the NFL has provided, it's all going up in flames. 57 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: Now you have to go in with an act of fire, 58 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: and we have a there's a certain element of fury 59 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: to us at this point. Again, we should be winning 60 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: our six or seventh um on multiple platforms, this this 61 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: venue but others as well. So, Uh, we are taking 62 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: no prisoners. Get a stern email from rog. He's like, hey, bro, 63 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: I heard you burned all the equipment you owe us 64 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: D dollars and you're fired. And I'm like, did you 65 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: see we got snubbed by the sign ops he'd understand. 66 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh, I see, give me, you adapt 67 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: me and to hug me. So today's show good one. 68 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: It happens every year. Now that we're in the Is 69 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: this the third wave of free agency? Greig? Is that? 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: Where do you when do you graduate from second wave 71 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: to third wave of free agency? I think this is it. 72 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: When there's essentially only one or two minor moves a day, 73 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: it's it's died off. We're into the third wave. Okay. 74 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: So now that we're in the third wave of free 75 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: agency and we're you know, the calendar just turned over 76 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: to April, that's time for the Gray Beards. Yes, the 77 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: collection of in some people's minds, over the Hill gang 78 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: players who were once um highly sought after and useful 79 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: players who have yet to find a home. And they 80 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: do find a home with my team, the Gray Beards, 81 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: and we will unveil well, I wouldn't say well, unveil 82 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: the roster, because what I'm really good. The store article 83 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: doesn't go up till Monday. It was gonna be Friday. 84 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: Now it's Monday. I just learned. So it's kind of 85 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: a workshop session here. Uh and uh. And we have 86 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: a special guest that I will get to a little 87 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: bit later that's gonna help me put together the Gray 88 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: Beards because it's very open. It's very important Mark in 89 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: this process to not play hero ball. When you're putting 90 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: together the roster. You should listen to other voices and 91 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: a lot of things in life, it's smart to hear 92 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: what other people have to say. And the Gray Beards 93 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: are no exception. Well, it's a collaboration. Um, and I'm 94 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: start that far. It's my show. I'm okay, But I 95 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: want to use your brain, that big old brain in 96 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: the Sessler skull. But if we if we are spending 97 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: our time, uh contributing and building your article, I'm certain 98 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: that the byeline would at least include like a big 99 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: investigative report. You know there's multiple Well, at least at 100 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: the bottom will say something like Greg Rosenthal contributed to 101 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: this article, Mark Cecil and our special guest. If not, 102 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: then I would have some questions about the ethical nature 103 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: of your your work, your project. All right, how about 104 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: to make a deal at the end of the segment 105 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: on today's show. If I feel that you have contributed 106 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: in a truly meaningful way, you're getting that tagline goes 107 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: for you. That's good. Let's and you can announce those 108 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: results at the end. Well, I already know how this 109 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: will go, all right, So anyway gray beards a little 110 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: later in the show before that, though, and good luck 111 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: boys with the sign ops. Um, I think we've earned 112 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: this one. It's been a while. We got the trophy 113 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: from Apple. That was a big win. Don't know where 114 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: that trophy is, by the way, won the stitcher was 115 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: stolen by our own producer. Um, So that one's gone. 116 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: If we went a sign op, it is going in 117 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: the new NFL Network studio behind a piece of glass, 118 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: baby and a lock. All I got up, let's hit 119 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: the news. If I go home and say I'm gonna 120 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: do it, will be don't do it. If I post, 121 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: it'll be don't do it. If I'm talking to my frands, 122 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: if you don't do it, don't my business, I be like, 123 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: don't do it. But I gotta do what I want 124 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: to do it for myself. Man, you know, you're the 125 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: only one who knows we're just gonna show them, and 126 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: you would have backed that the climb here, Oh my goodness, 127 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: he did it. Michael Strahand filled in the gap, and 128 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, so many thoughts on this mark. I'm curious 129 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: so that what you just heard. There was a video 130 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: straight hand put up on the social media platforms that 131 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: was probably on Access Hollywood or something as well. I 132 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: don't know the source on it. But he was in 133 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: a cosmetic dentistry chair and that iconic gap between his 134 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: two front teeth has been sealed off and now he 135 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: has gleaming pearly whites. Your thoughts, well, I mean, you know, 136 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: different bodies, different needs. Uh, he has the right to 137 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: do what he wants to do with his with his look, 138 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: his vibe. And he was a handsome man. He's a 139 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: very handsome man. Now, um, he's a television he's bordering 140 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: into the worlds of lower iconic television presenter slash host guy. 141 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: So you know there's probably some put that on your resume. 142 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: Well well, I was going to say icon but that 143 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: feels that feels heavy. But you know what, like, um, 144 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, we all we go to the meeting at 145 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: the lower icon meetings, like who else is a lower icon? Like, hey, 146 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: Rachel Ray is here, She's just a nicon, She's an icon. 147 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: I say, his choice, his body kind of now that one, 148 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: I think Rachel Ray is right in that group. Go ahead. 149 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: I have no further thoughts. Again, it's his freedom to 150 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: do as he wishes with his physical being. No, I 151 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: had a couple. I mean, first of all, everyone wants 152 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: to kill him for it. He obviously it was something 153 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: that he felt, you know, would make him feel better 154 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: about himself. Let's start there. And so to me, that's 155 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: fine because I don't think obviously, um, that is something 156 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: probably he had issues with as a child, and maybe 157 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe he's been teased in his life, and 158 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: then it became something he was famous for and maybe 159 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: he still wasn't comfortable with it. My other thought on 160 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: the matter is I wonder if and now I'm gonna 161 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: take it more to the New York sports realm. He's 162 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: not the only famous New York athlete to do this. 163 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: The spring, Aaron Judge Um, the star right fielder for 164 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: the Yankees. Um had a gap between his teeth too, 165 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: And I remember going to a Yankee game two summers ago, 166 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: before the pandemic, and I was with my cousin Matt, 167 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: and I pointed it, a big photo of Aaron Judge 168 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: Um at a train station. I said, you know, that 169 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: gap between his teeth, that might be the only thing 170 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: separating him from being the most marketable star in New York, 171 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: which you you're calling me shallow, but I'm talking about marketing. 172 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: And because he's already good looking guy. And my cousin 173 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: Matt said, well that, you know, because my cousin has 174 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of a gap. To my cousin like, well, 175 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: that was the thing that I really you know, I 176 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: always thought that was cool that he had it too, 177 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: And he was like me, so Judge gets it filled in, 178 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: and I wonder stray Hanson's judged to it, and he's like, well, 179 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: Judge did it. Why can't I do it? And maybe, 180 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: you say, gives away a little of his identity perhaps, 181 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: but I guess it made the man happy. Right now, 182 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm worried about your cousin. I mean, he just lost 183 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: like the two pillars of the gap tooth in one 184 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: in one week. It's not been a it's not a 185 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: good week. For My immediate thought was did he finally 186 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: get an offer he couldn't refuse because this is all 187 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: just a commercial. It wasn't I it wasn't made from 188 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: Access Hollywood. It was it was a commercial made for 189 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: that dentist and it and it was kind of like 190 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: a somewhat cheaply made but it was like a social 191 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: media commercial ultimately. And just imagine the offers that Mike 192 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: dray Hand has gotten over the years from cosmetic dentists 193 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: in the New York area over the last twenty years, 194 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: he said, he said no to all of them. How 195 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: much you know money did Michael Strahand get paid to 196 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: fix his teeth? What an American dream? I would like. 197 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: I would like some free dental care, much less getting 198 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: paid for it. I mean that that would that could 199 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: not have been a low price. I I imagine he 200 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: got paid an extreme amount of money to do that. 201 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, he maybe feels a little bitter 202 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: about himself too, obviously. That's that's a big factor. I 203 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: think you're onto something there, Greg, I mean, we did 204 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: this was an ad. It was a paid advertisement. I 205 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: would guess he got millions of dollars for that from 206 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: that from that cosmetic dentist. It reminds me when we 207 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: went to a media summit UM in NFL Network Media 208 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: Summit UM a couple of years back, and uh, one 209 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: very famous NFL figure who was notorious Lee Bald for 210 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: a long time suddenly had a full head of really 211 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: useful hair. And I'm sure that. I mean it was 212 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: on TV. He can say it was Dion. He came 213 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: on TV and it was a big plot that year 214 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: for him. Yeah. And I was literally sitting next to 215 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: Dion at that summit, which in its own right was interesting. No, 216 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: he had no idea, he didn't. He was like, why 217 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: is this like um tech advisor sitting next to me 218 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: during this thing? But he but I could not figure 219 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: out why he looks so in strikingly different to me 220 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: for the first half of the day. And then I 221 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: realized that that he has somehow suddenly grown an entire 222 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: head of hair. So the things you can do now, 223 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: there are some things that people do um cosmetically, and 224 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, Dana and I discusses that we do not 225 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: agree with, but I agree with some of these other things. 226 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: When Dion got his hair done, it wasn't just um, 227 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: you know, a little patch up, you know, as as 228 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: West was known to say. It wasn't like it wasn't 229 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: just filling in the power alleys, you know, or he 230 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: wasn't taking care of a crop circle in the back. 231 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: He showed up and he was seventeen years old again 232 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: from the forehead up, and I remember being legitimately, you know, 233 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: blown away by the whole thing. But it's kind of 234 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: a dream though, like mad you you have to get 235 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: to us. There's certain levels. I would say Strahan is 236 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: just icon at this point. You know, uh, there're certainly 237 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: Dion would be too. Once you get to a certain status, 238 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: what what a dream that you can get paid in 239 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: a you know, incredible amounts of money for your own 240 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: self improvement, things that you would normally just have to pay, 241 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: you know, a lot for to him. When you get 242 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: rich and famous, that's when you start getting everything for free, 243 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, when you don't really necessarily need things at 244 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: the same level. Well, that's something to aspire. Two boys, 245 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's do some news. Whenever our guest shows up, 246 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: by the way, throw him in the room. Yeah, I 247 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: mean I got a little chip from playing hockey when 248 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: I was tending, so hit me up. Dentists the bed 249 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: Western Massachusetts on the ice, Greg Rosenthal, you messed with 250 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: my winger because I was bad at skating, you know? 251 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: Was that in a rink or like on an actual 252 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: if you're a real tough guy, you do it. Was 253 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: I barely played on a rink. I did not last 254 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: by then I did a little bit of a rink 255 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: and was like check please, But I did some pond 256 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: hockey the Seahawks. Seahawks have signed Tyler Lockett to a 257 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: four year, sixty nine point two million dollar contract extension. 258 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: Thirty seven of that million is guaranteed. So there you 259 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: have it, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf locked in. Locket will 260 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: be twenty nine uh this season. In September, he went 261 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: over a hundred catches for the first time this year, 262 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: but he wasn't the same playmaker in terms of yards 263 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: per catch. That kind of went over to the DK 264 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: Metcalf side of things. Um, Greg, I guess you can 265 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: make the case this is a steep price to pay 266 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: for Tyler Lockett, especially as we've talked about this is 267 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: a team that has a lot of financial decisions to make. 268 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: But when you have lock It and DK together, if 269 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: you're looking for a rock solid one two punch of 270 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver. There are a few that could touch that group, 271 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: that pair, I believe. Yeah, catches an eighteen touchdowns too 272 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: for a little guy over the last two years combined. 273 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: I've always thought he's way better than his numbers. He's 274 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: one of the most fun players to watch. So it's 275 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: one of those times that, yeah, sure they paid a premium. 276 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean he's getting He got as much guaranteed almost 277 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: as Kenny Golladay. He got really top money. But I 278 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: always thought his numbers were artificially held down in Seattle, 279 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: and his just quality of play, how unique a player 280 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: he is, was really valuable. And he could have had 281 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: if he was on the Chiefs or some team like that, 282 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: his numbers would be even better. And he also just 283 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: seems like an affable guy. So it's you know, you're 284 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: always happy to see those guys get paid. I guess, 285 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: like the question I'd have is just what kind of 286 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: offense Seattle will be? UM? The let Russ Cook is 287 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: over and it it ended during the middle of last year. 288 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's that nugget that heat Lockett was the 289 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: number one Fantasy football receiver UM through Week eight and 290 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: finished as because the offense completely changed its identity, so 291 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: there are like overt um mysterious questions about what they'll 292 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: become September. I think they're going to go back to 293 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: being more run, heavy, more balanced. Well it depends, though, 294 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: it depends if they see Russell Wilson as a guy 295 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: that they have to keep happy now and play ball 296 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: with a little bit and change the offense in a 297 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: way that makes Pete Carroll a little uncomfortable but also 298 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: keeps the star quarterback happy. That that's see how it's 299 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: kind of a bit of a fascinating science experiment all 300 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden going on in that building. But they 301 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: literally fired or parted ways with the coordinator. That was 302 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: all about an open to let Russ cook, right. They 303 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: hired a guy that Russ you know did. I always 304 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: thought that's gotten lost in the shovel or that he 305 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: helped interview Shane Waldron, the Rams coordinator. But the Rams 306 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: do like to run the ball has kind of the 307 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: foundation of their offense. So so so we'll see. But 308 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: I uh like, if if a guy like Lockett's not 309 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: gonna get paid, who is gonna get paid? It lowers 310 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: their cap Like he is a homegrown guy. He's he's 311 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: time to his stay in Seattle poorly though. He got 312 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: there right after the Super Bowl appearances. So it's like he, 313 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, get lock it into a super Bowl. In 314 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: other news, the NFL owners approved the expansion of the 315 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: regular season to seventeen games on Tuesday. This was long expected. 316 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: We knew that was coming down, and now it is. Uh. 317 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: The players agreed to this additional game as part of 318 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: the collective collective bargaining agreement that was agreed to last spring. Uh. 319 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: So it goes into effect starting in one. The season 320 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: will begin on Thursday night, September nine. The Bucks will 321 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: be prominently involved. The Pro Bowl now is the game 322 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: that takes place on the first Sunday in February. Pinch yourself, 323 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl here in Los ange of Us 324 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: will take place one week later February two. And I mean, 325 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't think of a better news item. Uh to 326 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: welcome in one of the great minds um in football writing. 327 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: He is a former bricklayer for Rhoda World and now 328 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: one of the bosses that established the run. You know 329 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: who it is, the big Fish, Evan Silva, buddy, what's up? 330 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: And also, uh, this has got it? This is rocking 331 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: the fantasy world. I mean, a fourteen week regular season, 332 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: not own it's it's a big deal. It's a big 333 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: deal in real life and in fantasy football. I think 334 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: that a nice compromise would have been to add an 335 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: extra bye week to each team. And you know that 336 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: that would have expanded the regular season even further and 337 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: made and further made the billionaire owners even richer. Um. 338 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: And it would have also, um, you know, been a 339 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: compromise that might have benefited the players for you know, 340 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: the for the the way that it impacts their bodies, 341 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: and it would have taken a little bit of of 342 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: a loan load off my plate too, because I love 343 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: the bye weeks in the way that they affect my 344 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: schedule week to week. But there's been seemingly no discussion 345 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: of adding an additional bye week. But um hey, you know, 346 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: big big win for the owners and you know, the 347 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: rich get richer. Go America. Uh yeah, never don't talk 348 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: to Silva. The week that the bye week's run out. 349 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: That's Evan Silva's least favorite week of the year. Like 350 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: when you when you have those two less games uh 351 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: to cover, to prepare for to watch during the week 352 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: to rank. It's like life is great in fantasy Land, 353 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: and then they come they come back in week twelve 354 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: or thirteen, whatever it is, and it's it's full slate, 355 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: and Silva's just like, leave me alone exactly right. December 356 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: is just hell month. Well, you know, you could have 357 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: a job outside of fantasy and actually worked during January 358 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: and February and like go straight through the Super Bowl, 359 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: which now, yeah, it's that's the biggest change. We've been 360 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: doing this all a long time. And so just that 361 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: big of an adjustment that we're going to go through 362 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: mid February is uh will be different. I just want 363 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: to know how it changes the rest of the off season, Like, 364 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: does it how it changes the preseason? The Hall of 365 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: Fame game I did check is scheduled on a certain day. 366 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: But are they pushing the preseason, which is now three 367 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: weeks back a week or is there gonna be an 368 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: empty week before the regular season starts. That makes more 369 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: sense to me personally. And are they gonna push back 370 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: the combine and free agency because if they don't that 371 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: stuff they it already felt like it comes up quick. 372 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: You basically it's basically two weeks to the combine. If 373 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: it's one week to the combine like that is a 374 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: different feel to the off sea And they haven't announced 375 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: that stuff though, so we don't know yet. I would 376 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: ask you, Evan though, like from a from a fantasy angle, 377 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: what was the first thing you thought beyond your own scheduling, 378 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: Like strategy wise, does it change anything at all? Strategy wise? 379 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: You're just adding one week of a regular season play, right, 380 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: And we we kind of we knew that it was, um, 381 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: but then it became official and now I don't I honestly, 382 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, who's gonna make the decisions 383 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: regarding that are going to be like the big corporations 384 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: that run the actual fantasy provider sites like ESPN and Yahoo, um, 385 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: and you know f f PC, and that's gonna be 386 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: who makes those decisions, not not the fantasy analysts. The 387 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: fantasy answers are just gonna have to roll with the punches. 388 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: Very interesting to see how it all plays out. And UM, 389 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: I'm a little annoyed. I this is something that I 390 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: didn't really think about until this week. But yeah, it 391 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: does change personal you know, records for the NFL going forward, 392 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: and it's it's not the same in the NFL is 393 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: that is in other sports in terms of single season record. 394 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: But you know, Derrick Henry is an example. He was 395 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: the eighth player to ever run for two thousand, two 396 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: thousand yards. Isn't just it's not gonna be the same 397 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: anymore because you've seen plenty of guys, well maybe not plenty, 398 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: but you know run for eighteen hundred yards and sixteen 399 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: it's you're gonna see more more like that. But one 400 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: that really annoys me, Silva, and I know you're one 401 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: of your your curmudgeon and we love you for it, 402 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: but this one gets me fired up. That damn Michael 403 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: Strahan record, the sack record. We talked about him earlier, 404 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: he got his teeth done. I'm fine with that. I'll 405 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: never be fine with Brett Fard slide in a slide 406 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: on his feet and that record now stands forever. In 407 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: a sixteen game season, nobody could break it. Yet twenty 408 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: years NFL to wipe that record away and you couldn't 409 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: do it. And I'll never forgive you, just like I've 410 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: always thought with the Jets, if I if if I 411 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: go my whole life and I never get to watch 412 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with my dad, I will never forgive 413 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: the Jets and the clock's taken. I will never forgive 414 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: all the defensive ends. Uh that that we're unable to 415 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: get the sack record away from stray hands. Grasp, that's 416 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: an expansive bounty list all the defensive ends in edge 417 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: rushers out there, thousands of humans. Well what if and 418 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: when they do break it, no one's gonna put an asterick. 419 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen a lot of stuff this week too. 420 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: It's like, well, maybe change it to per game records, 421 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: and it's you know, watering down these records that basically 422 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: ignores everything that happens in the NFL. Before night, every 423 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: generation is going to get the like, no one's cared 424 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: when you've broken the record rushing records when they were 425 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: set before seventy eight, or passing records. No one ever 426 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: is like, well they did that in fourteen games. Sometimes 427 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: they mentioned it, but it doesn't really I'm saying it 428 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: doesn't really change anything. No one. No one was giving 429 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: a big asterick about Drew Brees all this time because 430 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: he got to play way more games than everyone. Uh. 431 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: Greg says, something doesn't really matter. I'm not saying it 432 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but tell me about it. What does anyone 433 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: bring that up? When they when they were saying the 434 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: Ravens are the greatest rushing team of all time, they 435 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: would give a little pop to the who was it 436 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: the Bills or the Patriot? I think it was a 437 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Patriots back in the seventies, But like ultimately, no one 438 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: gave it an asterix that it was done in fourteen 439 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: games people, bene. I just wanted to recall that that 440 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: year that Shack Barrett almost broke the sack record in 441 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: assessor predicted that he would finish with like four sacks. Well, 442 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, there is no end to the things that 443 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: I've been slightly or vastly incorrect about, but that stands 444 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: out as one of the shinier mistakes made in other news. 445 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: Washington football team coach Ron Rivera said, Ryan, by the way, 446 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to keep on getting sidetracked here. It's really dark, 447 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: but I have cornhole on ESPN to Dvard from last summer, 448 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: and I had saved it because I wanted to watch 449 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: it with my offer mentioned old man Keith, who was 450 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: in town. They just flew out Keith and deb back 451 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: to New York today and in the ticker for this 452 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: cornhole event that I saved on my DVR for a year. UM. 453 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: It said it was talking about the name change of 454 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: the Washington football team, and it said that Rivera, Ron 455 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: Rivera and Daniel Sinder said they're very close on a 456 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: name and they're ready getting close to announcing the name. 457 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: They hope to have it ready for so now they 458 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: never did that and now they're not gonna have it 459 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: for one either. They said. Now they're pushing back too, 460 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: a little bit weird. So they had a name they 461 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: were ready to roll with, and then they pulled the 462 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: reins back. Maybe you guys are onto something here that 463 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: they're into w f T. I don't know. I think 464 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: they are into w f T uh more like w 465 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: TF UM. Ron nailed it. Ron Rivera said Ryan Fitzpatrick 466 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: will open camp as the number one quarterback, but quote, 467 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: there will be a competition. Who will be competing Mr 468 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Silva with Ryan Fitzpatrick. They better not pull the rug 469 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: out on this man. I want to see him start 470 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: fourteen to seventeen games this year. Well, you know, Taylor 471 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: Heineke and Kyle Allen followed. Scott Turner from Carolina and 472 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke played pretty well in that um the playoff 473 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: loss to to Tampa Bay kind of you know, gave 474 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: themselves and and they signed it to an extension after 475 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: the season. But I mean, this is gonna be the 476 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick show. This is just you know, classic coach speak. 477 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: He said he really regretted not having the competition he 478 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: wanted last year for Rivera that he is sort of 479 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: FATA company for Dwayne Haskins winning the job and that 480 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: was a mistake, and then he wants to do a 481 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: real competition. Can you imagine a worse guy behind you? 482 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: If your tailor Heineke, who I think is an interesting prospect, 483 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: but you're gonna go through the storm with into some 484 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: degree and you've got Ryan Fitzpatrick's on the bench. I mean, 485 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: it just is it's an unpleasant um scenario because the 486 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: fans are gonna be going nuts for the bearded man. 487 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: You think that's unpleasant when you see that with the 488 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: gray beards choices are at quarterback. Uh fore you're gonna 489 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: be vomiting wildly. Um anyway, Mark, you have been going 490 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: nuts lately. I mean, in general, I've never seen you 491 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: in a more professional place than you are right now 492 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: between all the camera stuff that you're fired up about 493 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: working with people behind the scenes to give us the 494 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: best look for our television show. On top of that, 495 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: every time we get a text for Mark now, it's 496 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: like I've been watching NFL Network. There's some interesting things 497 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 1: going on here. I've been reading this. You are very 498 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: plugged in right now, Mark, and uh the pro days, 499 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: you've been watching those, So we want to now move 500 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: out of the way. Everybody step aside. Mark, your thoughts 501 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: breakdown the Justin Fields and Mac Jones pro days. Please, Well, 502 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: the table has been set in a way where I'm 503 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: gonna disappoint. But um, I watched them lead to in 504 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: a in a leisurely fashion. Um and I I my 505 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: text to you guys watching Mac Jones was, am I 506 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be blown away by this guy? You know, Evan, 507 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: We're not big college football observers, so it's like, you know, 508 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't pick him out of a lineup a week ago, 509 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: but now I understand a little bit more about him. 510 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: And I mean my takeaway from the Mac Jones thing 511 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: is that he whiffed on that one deep ball. Um 512 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: and and this is a sterile setting. He whiffs on 513 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: the deep ball and Immediately Twitter is going crazy with 514 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, who you know, flew there very with the 515 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: buzzes from from schefter, from Daniel Jeremiah, from Ian that 516 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: it would not be a surprise if they go mac 517 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: Jones at number three. So he goes to the Pro Day, 518 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: which is an unusual move for Shanahan, and they capture 519 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: his look after he whipps on that deep ball and 520 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: it was just like and they also had one of 521 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: Belichick as well, looking a little bit mystified, so um 522 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: to me, I like what Daniel Jeremiah said. It was 523 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: kind of like going to a driving range and you're 524 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: watching Matt Jones work on a short game. But then 525 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: you go see justin fields and he is just dropping bombs. 526 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: And I think we can all tell when you watch 527 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: someone throw who has that special gift. And I get it. 528 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: It's a Pro Day, And I'll never forget the way 529 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: that West viewed Pro Days in general, just sort of 530 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: said throw this thing. You know, it is what it is, 531 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: and it's it's not overhype it. But he looked beautiful 532 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball. I thought he did a wonderful job. Also, 533 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: Matt Jones has like my body um, like he has 534 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: a belly, it's like please, and like the fields looks 535 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: like he had a four four four forty that's how 536 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: he started it. Then he's throwing bombs all over the field. 537 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: And there was one thing, because I have to be 538 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: honest with all the stuff that's happened in our lives, 539 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: um since the Super Bowl, that I had been a 540 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: little burnt out. I've just kind of been looking for 541 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: that spark to kind of get get the engine going okay. 542 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: And Daniel Jeremiah had a comment at the end of 543 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: Fields pro day that said, basically, and I'm paraphrasing, just 544 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: enjoy this. It's like watching an an NBA slam dunk competition. 545 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: It's a pro day. We get it. It's not in 546 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: a hostile environment. But if you can't watch Justin Fields 547 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: throwing those passes and if you can enjoy it, you've 548 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: got to check yourself out the door. And it, honestly, 549 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: was this thing that kind of a light that broke 550 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: through and made me just enjoy the experience of watching 551 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: this incredible athlete throwing these passes. I think he's going 552 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: to be an incredibly fascinating prospect. That's my comments. M hmm, 553 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: what do you think, syl It you've been a draft 554 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: nick a long time. Is Mark taking your corner? No? 555 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: I think that he had an excellent breakdown of the 556 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: situations across the board. It's still straine belief to me 557 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the day that the forty Niners 558 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: would surrender what they did, which amounts to three first 559 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: round picks and a third round pick to go draft 560 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Mac Jones ahead of Justin Fields and trade Lance because 561 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: justin Fields, I mean, I think mac Jones might be 562 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: a solid quarterback, you know, I think maybe he's a 563 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: little bit better than Andy Dalton potentially. Um. But Justin 564 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: Fields and Trade Lance are just on different tiers when 565 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: it comes to all around skill set. And we've seen 566 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: we've seen the way that the NFL has been moving 567 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: trending over the last five ten years, and what Justin 568 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: Fields and Trade Lands bring to the table I think 569 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: is clearly superior. And then what than what Matt Jones 570 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: has in his toolbox? And now we're here, you know, 571 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: the forty nine is potentially keeping Jimmy Garoppolo, which they 572 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: can technically afford to do. Um, and then he would 573 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: be the Alex Smith table center you know, the bridge 574 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: and then justin fields or trade lance would be the 575 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to come in and and get them to 576 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: the to the mountaintop. So silva. If you're doing a 577 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: mock today, who do you have at three? I mean, 578 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: mock drafts are different because you're trying to actually get 579 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, peg X with players with teams. So I 580 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: think I would actually be on mac Jones. But it's 581 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: still you know, I think things can change. We're still 582 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: we're still guessing at this point. The thing is that 583 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: so many insider schefter Mortensen, Jeremiah, guys that know way 584 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: more than us have made this connection between mac Jones 585 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: and the forty niners and and if you're if you're 586 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: doing a projection right now, I think you actually put 587 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: mac Jones on the forty niners and number three, Thank 588 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: you fair. Although I think we should like hold off 589 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: on did like killing the pick until the pick happens industry. 590 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: It's like, imagine the wasting of the time of the 591 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: mac Jones pick, Like if they don't take mac Jones 592 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: that it almost feels like people are already killing was space. 593 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: That's part of this too, you know. Chris Sims is 594 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: another guy that they say very close relationship with Kyle Shanahan, 595 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: and he's been pounding the table that that's where mac 596 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: Jones is going. You just wonder what that all means. 597 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: Same thing, you know, although then wasn't Kyle Shanahan was 598 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: asked about his relationship with Chris Simms, and then it 599 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: was like, I haven't talked to that guy in years. 600 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: He didn't say that, he said, he said, I know 601 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: that he talks to everyone. That's why I don't tell 602 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: him anything anymore. Like that. Well, I like if I 603 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: tattooed your initials Evan onto my body with that um 604 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: incline you to spend more time with me or less. 605 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that would just be really weird. Tessler. You know, 606 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't have to be weird for Christims to do that. Also, well, 607 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: he probably he just got a Kyle Fanahan tattoo. It 608 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: was like a group of four of them who all 609 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: got each other, So I like the other. Like lest 610 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: Finally in the news, Cult McCoy lands on his feet. 611 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: He signs a one year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, 612 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: most recently with the Giants. He's bounced around a lot. Really, 613 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: the best thing about Cult McCoy is his connection to 614 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: the Sessler family. Let's let's be honest with this, and 615 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: it's the only reason where talking about him right now, 616 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: well right and if you if for those that don't know, Um, 617 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: I Cole McCoy and his father wrote a dual biography 618 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: about fatherhood and growing up and it really affected me. 619 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: And he was the Brown's quarterback at the time, and 620 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: I kind of just liked Colt McCoy's overall persona. I 621 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: get that he's not, you know, devastating the world as 622 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: a player, but um, when it came time to name 623 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: our second son, I really liked the idea of cult 624 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: Cessler because Sessler is the last name where you've gotta 625 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: have us, you've gotta be good with the first name. 626 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: So he's Culton right now, but it would probably become 627 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: called at some point. Anyways, Um, the day he was born, 628 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: literally on the day of the first round of the 629 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: NFL draft back in so I name him Cult McCoy, 630 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: called Cessler. And then at that night the Browns select 631 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: Brandon Weeden, like four or five hours after so it 632 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: was so you know, anyways, what I would say about 633 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: Cult McCoy from the player's side, he's suddenly thirty five 634 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: years old, and I think he's a survivor because he's 635 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: not a starter. But he's been making that backup, my 636 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: me and good money for a long time. It's not 637 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: wound up being a bad career at all. And he 638 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: had that game with Cleveland where he absolutely devastated the 639 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: New England Patriots and the whole team did, and it 640 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: looked like Tom Brady was on psilocybin that day. He 641 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: had a look a thousand yards stare that I've never 642 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: seen from him ever again. So there are good We've 643 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: heard about that game many times on this podcast, but 644 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: that no, it's we've talked about it before. Sometimes all 645 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: takes is a good year or filling in as an 646 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: injury replacement for a month, and you seem to just 647 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: hang around if I think it helps, if you're if 648 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: you have good relationships across the league, as I'm sure 649 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 1: Cult McCoy does as well. That's what's happening in the news, 650 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: Ricky hit it pretty bits. We're gonna see good day, 651 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: great beds. Just give us one last sake. We're here today, 652 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: gone tomorrow. Will you watch your follow You don't mean 653 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: I cannot play you will see me lead the way. 654 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: Gray beards never go away, gray bids never go away. 655 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: And it's over in the house for the gray beard. 656 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: Are you ready? I wanted you to be on for 657 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: that song. I needed you to be on for that 658 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: song because I wanted you to get in the head 659 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: space freestyle that No, that's that was That was well written, 660 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: written well over a year ago. Not well written, and 661 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: Ricky Ricky did all the instrumentation on it. That's not true, 662 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: but that I like. Um, I like to do that 663 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: song because I feel like he gets us in a 664 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: lot of the space. Because these are players, the gray beards, 665 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: who have something left to offer in the NFL. In fact, 666 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: when this season is over, I believe it ends in 667 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: mid June. This upcoming season, Um, you will see some 668 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: of these players have an impact now. Uh, Evan's helped 669 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: us before. I reached out to having a couple of 670 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: years back, maybe three years ago now, it was four 671 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: time Flies, and I said, Evan, I'm writing this piece 672 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: for NFL dot com. I was hoping I could uh 673 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 1: run it by you. I'll send you the list my 674 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: picks and then you could like give me a blurb 675 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: for each positional group whether you think it's any good. 676 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: What I didn't know at the time, because I had 677 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: never worked with Evan was how meticulous and how much 678 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 1: work and effort he puts into everything he does. And 679 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: I ended up putting the guy out in a big spot. 680 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: I I think he was. He ended up writing like 681 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: half a Byeline story for someone else's website and didn 682 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: get paid for it. Big mistake. And I apologize. So 683 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: Evan this year obviously, no written work for you, no assignment. 684 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: I just wanted you to give me your thoughts as 685 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: a workshop graveyards. Is that okay? And I apologize again 686 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: for what happened a few years back that was no, No, 687 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: don't apologize. I thought you weren't. I mean, when you 688 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: say blurb, I think like Rotor World blurb, you know, 689 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: And that's what I had in mind. But I don't 690 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: know you. You're you're such a professional. Just blew me away. 691 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 1: Um all right, And now the second part of this Greg, 692 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: before we dive in. You've held my feet to the 693 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: five Greg in past years because what I had done 694 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: in the past is just built the best roster of 695 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,479 Speaker 1: remaining free agents. And uh and that's a good way 696 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: in some ways. That that serves a better purpose as 697 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: an article like here's all the best guys left. But 698 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: to truly be about the graybeards, to have that grizzled beard, 699 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: to to have the salt and pepper you have, you 700 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: have to actually be over the hill in NFL terms. 701 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: So this year, for the first time ever, everyone is 702 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: either thirty or above or turns thirty at some point 703 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: during the regular season. Uh So that that banged me 704 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: and the biggest of all spots because, uh, some players 705 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: that are still out there right now who could contribute 706 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: but are not yet thirty include James Conner, Um, DeMarcus Robinson, 707 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: Adam Humphries, Uh, Willie Snee, Jesse James Trey Burton. None 708 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: of these names jump out to you necessarily understand that 709 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: Nick Malan at least like four of those are on 710 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: teams by now too. So Marcus Robinson resigned with the 711 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs to Washington. Yeah, all right, good, well they're they're 712 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: not thirty anyway, for for all intents and purposes, they 713 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: don't exist in this exercise. But please, anybody that has signed, um, 714 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: let me know. Uh, here we go. Let's dig into 715 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: it and I'll start a quarterback and It's tough, um 716 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: because uh, the bone has been picked here pretty clean, 717 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: and you do have some players out there, like I 718 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: don't even know if Teddy Bridgewater is thirty yet, but 719 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: but Teddy is attached to the Panthers still technically, So 720 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: for the quarterback position, boys, I have to run back 721 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 1: the Redskins UH squad of yesteryear. I got Alex Smith 722 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: as my starter, r G three that's the backup, uh 723 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: and Geno Smith. Colt McCoy well, Col mccoyn now off 724 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 1: the board, A J. Mccaren um, a couple of options. 725 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: So I went with Smith and r G three. What 726 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: are your what are your thoughts there? Well, I think 727 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: if you're looking for leadership and playoff experience, he went 728 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: with the wrong. Smith's Geno. Time give Geno a franchise 729 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: if ever is he thirty? Now it's finally time for 730 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: Geno to be leading a team at thirty. You you 731 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: give me the choice, Alex Smith, Geno Smith. I'm taking Gino. 732 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: The most predictable thing right there is that Greg cape 733 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: for Gino again, which he's been doing for a decade. Now, 734 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: when's the last time Gino didn't make the playoffs? It's 735 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: like it's like, you know, he had to be stuck 736 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: on an organization like the Jets to keep him out 737 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Everywhere else he goes, they make it. 738 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: If I need a guy to win a coin toss, 739 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 1: Gino is there. But I just how often do you 740 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: really need that? Mark? No, I even every guy isn't 741 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 1: even clearly a skill of his. That's that's just based 742 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: on luck. And I find it absurd that Greg is 743 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: still doing this. Um and this is a rare case. 744 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: This is a rare case where right, I actually have 745 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: a point. I don't think Gino is any worse than 746 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: these guys I have. I think, you knowed leadership as 747 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: the first bullet point under on Gino Smith's resume. So 748 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: I has a end. The guy has a wired jaw 749 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: exactly leadership. I mean, let's keep that in mind. What's 750 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: lost that Geno Smith threw a pass that mattered in 751 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: that game against the Raiders after Ben McAdoo benched Eli Manning, 752 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: and then I played Gino Smith in DFS and then 753 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: uh that did not go well. No, r G three, 754 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: you know RJ three he was. He hasn't looked good. 755 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: I really would take Gino and McCarron even maybe three 756 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: is finished. I felt bad when r G three try 757 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: to open it up when he got some playing time 758 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: last year, and the legs were just like, nah, we're 759 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: not We're not going to do this anymore. Let me 760 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,879 Speaker 1: pull r G three out. Should I throw Gregor Bond? 761 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: I almost don't want it because he's a little annoying 762 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: about the Gino thing, but it also would made a 763 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: lot to him. Know, you've got a combustible group of 764 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: people here that are at the end of their careers 765 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: and probably slightly annoyed. You want Geno Smith running that show? 766 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: Evan break the deadlock? Geno Smith or A. J. Mccaren 767 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: is back up. I'll go with Gino all right. A J. Mccaren, 768 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: good for you. How about that in a big spot 769 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: If you don't think he's gonna be suddenly um trying 770 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: to take that job from Alex Smith out from under him. 771 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's going to Ricky. Can you confirm with 772 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: me that Gino Smith is already thirty or turning thirty 773 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: during the regular season? Thank you? Running back. Okay, there 774 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: was a coach you know who made the news recently 775 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: who was was was all on board trying to trade 776 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: a couple of Day two picks for AJ McCarron not 777 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: too long ago. Yes, there was that where it's glad 778 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: some some things don't work out for a great reason. 779 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Gino turns thirty on October tenth. Where does 780 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: the time go? That's my birthday. That's that's not good 781 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: running It's also Brett Farve's birthday. But we'll leave it there. 782 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: Running back. Okay, So tough situation here. This team sucks. 783 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: I gotta say sometimes I feel good about after you 784 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: had great quarterbacks all the quo. You know, for whatever reason, 785 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks didn't go off the market, and all the 786 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: same guys Cam and Jamis and Dalton, they all got 787 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: signed quickly. This this yes, and I'll share at the 788 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: end of this segment what I believe the record to be. 789 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: But you're gonna see it's not gonna be great anyway. 790 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: Running back, not a lot of choices. I'll name some 791 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: of them that I believe are still on the open market. 792 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, rex Burghead, Frank Gore, La, Shawn McCoy, Dion Lewis. 793 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Peterson, Dion Lewis. Peterson's Angelis Whill 794 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 1: he's your battering ram run up the middle. Maybe he 795 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: gets another seven hundred yard season. And then Dion Lewis, 796 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's got left in the tank. 797 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 1: Didn't do much with the Giants last year, but he 798 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: could be my little change of pace guy that can 799 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 1: catch the ball out of the backfield. Um, anybody else 800 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: you guys see is a better fit. I wanted. I 801 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: wanted to get some lover in here for Cordarrel Patterson, 802 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: who remains unsigned. Interesting because he's my kick returner. A 803 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: spoiler alert, you want to put him in the backfield, Well, 804 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: he's got to be your kick returner, but yeah, I 805 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: want to. I want to give him a full year 806 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: as a tailback. I remember watching him play at Tennessee, 807 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: getting like carries from under center, and I mean he 808 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: kind of looked like Adrian Peterson UM at times. He's 809 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: like a you know, taller running back. UM. But I 810 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: mean you can use them. I mean he fits perfectly 811 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: with Alex Smith because Alex Smith loves to throw chuckdowns 812 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: to running backs. Jade mckissic head games where he caught 813 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: like fourteen passes last year. He used Cordireld Patterson as 814 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: an in space playmaker, and all of a sudden, like 815 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: we're cooking with some gas here. Patterson is the great, 816 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: well maybe the best special teamer of his era. And uh, 817 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: every team is on thinks they're gonna suddenly figure out 818 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: the way to unlock him as an offensive talent. We're 819 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,919 Speaker 1: over six, But like that, they always think they're gonna 820 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,959 Speaker 1: and it's always kind of fun to watch it. I'd 821 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 1: put him in Gore in the same backfield. You can't 822 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: stop it. First of all, there there's a chance Dean 823 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: Lewis is better at playing football right now than Frank Gore. 824 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: I think if you asked any any coaches, if you 825 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: watch that tape last year, Dean Lewis was jumping off 826 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: the screen last year. Or at least he can. He 827 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: could do his assignments. He can do it. And plus 828 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: you need some guys to sell the team. This team 829 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: is gonna stink anyways. He could be searching to get 830 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: to be the number two Russia in NFL history, so 831 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: at least that could sell some tickets. I would. I would. 832 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: If you bury Lashawn McCoy on your roster, you will 833 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: win a championship. A lot of a lot of inconvenient truths. 834 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: They're spoken by Greg who, by the way, did come 835 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 1: up with the nickname for Frank Gore inconvenient truth keep 836 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: patting that back in the day. Well well Bill, no, no, no, 837 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,880 Speaker 1: that was that's that's a great thing. It was a 838 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: it was a rich eyes and thing, I think. And 839 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: then I just kept like repeating it over and like 840 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: he said it one time, and then I gotta give 841 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: him credit. If you think that Frank Gore is an 842 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: effective marketing tool to put meat in the seats, I 843 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: just feel like too close. I mean, he's the only 844 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: one that could be breaking some records if nothing else. 845 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: You're slogan could be like, we may lose, but we 846 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: have a lot of character Alex Smith, Frank Gore, guys 847 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 1: who are going to be great at the season ticket 848 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: meet and greet Mark Adrian Peterson or Frank Gore on 849 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: the roster Adrian Peterson. Okay, um, well we could we 850 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 1: could also we get Frank Gore as like our coach too. 851 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 1: I think you'd be a great coach. Yeah do you 852 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: have but you can have a practice squad at least 853 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: assistant head coach slash running backs at very least. Um, 854 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: all right, at fullback, I feel really good about this guy. UM, 855 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: not a lot of options, unfortunately, and I think I 856 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: can't put John qun on it anymore. So I think 857 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 1: John Aziale at fullback. I feel really good about entering 858 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: his age thirty two season. Um. You know, Dallas Cowboy, 859 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent two thousand twelve, played his college ball 860 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: at North Texas. UM, good dude, and I think he's 861 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: my fullback. Gray Beards, we're bringing the fullback back. That's 862 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: your prerogative. Dan, alright, moving right along. I got John 863 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: to see. Sorry, bro, Wide receiver, I feel good about 864 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 1: the wide receivers this year. We in in In the past, 865 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: the wide receiver A big problem is we we struggled 866 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: to gain separation. I mean, that's our thing, you know. 867 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: But uh, and that's always gonna be a challenge in 868 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: this exercise. But I do have somebody in there that 869 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: can I think can help me out with that. UM. 870 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: We'll start with Antonio Brown. That's a nice one to 871 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: have their obviously locked and loaded. UM and the Bucks. 872 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: He's the one guy in the entire team. The Bucks 873 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 1: haven't brought back yet, so we'll see how but once 874 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: your name to the Gray Beards roster, you're there. You're set. Um, 875 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: just so everyone knows, I need a speedster. Marcy's Goodwin 876 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 1: turned thirty years old. I know he's not necessarily a 877 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: complete receiver, but you send him deep, just send him 878 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: down the island, send him on the jet and that's 879 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 1: what his job is, to spread out the field hopefully. 880 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: And then um, then it gets a little tricky. Al 881 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: seon Jeffrey Reclamation Project. Al Right, come on, uh join 882 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: us and then uh we're gonna do some four wide 883 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 1: receiver sets. Larry Fitzgerald and Adam Humphries are the two 884 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: guys that I'm kind of going back and forth on. 885 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald just for leadership alone, and um, you know, 886 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: just the living legend Larry legend uh of the NFL 887 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: is my choice? Your thoughts? Boys? Other other options Golden Tate, Uh, 888 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: Danny Ammondola? Yeah, but again, Adam Humphries is he's on 889 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: a team, the Washington football team. Um, yeah, how about 890 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon? Oh I love it. Oh, I'm no, I'm 891 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: done with that. No, no, no, no, no no. You 892 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: know many times he's been on the Gray Beards. We 893 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 1: need a vertical playmaker. Man, we need a vertical playmaker 894 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 1: so that we can you know, set up all these 895 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: great underneath kickouts to Larry. It's in Golden Tate that 896 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 1: are going to get, you know, on average game three 897 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: and a half yards. All right, so let's be fair here. 898 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, he turns thirty on April, so 899 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: he does qualify. The version of Josh Gordon we saw 900 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 1: in Seattle, is that's the guy that's going to be 901 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 1: taking tops off the defenses and make a big place 902 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: on this question. I gotta asked the question. I mean, 903 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna be running Cliff Kingsbury's offense 904 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 1: with this cast of characters, but Josh Gordon will would 905 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 1: help out this roster. Well, Paterson's got, you know, the 906 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 1: position flexibility. You could get Gore in at running back, 907 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, move Patterson. I do like the Marquis good 908 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: One signing because you gotta think creatively in the marketing department. 909 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 1: For the gray Beard. It's an Olympic year. Uh, he 910 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: was an Olympian. There's just something you can promote around that. 911 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: I feel nothing else. He can just like fresh you right, 912 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 1: he can just run around the track or something, and 913 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,240 Speaker 1: you guys could do something with that, alright, Greg Alshon, 914 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: Jeffrey or Josh Gordon. I guess I go Gordon, Yeah, 915 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 1: I mean you gotta swing for the fences, the Antonio 916 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 1: Brown dash, Gordon Um trying to catch basses from Alex Smith. 917 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 1: What could go wrong? It would be perfect, all right? 918 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: The tight ends. I'm feeling feeling good about Um. In fact, 919 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: there are two players that are always hurt UM, so 920 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: I might need a few more of these. But Tyler 921 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: Eiffort and Jordan Reed are those players. I believe they 922 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: are now two major injury dudes of the past. But 923 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Effort, Jordan Reed, if I run some two tight 924 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 1: end sets, maybe put them in bubble wrap, maybe you 925 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: can make some place. I mean, Jordan Reed had, like 926 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Reid had like three moments last year where you're 927 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 1: like Jordan read all right, and then and then he 928 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 1: got hurt and he can't took a while to come back, 929 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: but he'll he'll give you those couple of moments. So 930 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: I think that, yeah, we're gonna need to run like 931 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: a four or five receiver spread here because we don't 932 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: want these guys being out there for too many snaps. 933 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean you do. It's okay too with Jacksonville that 934 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 1: this might be your best position group, I think relative 935 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: to league average right now. The only problem is I 936 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,360 Speaker 1: think I have about twelve fifteen snaps per game for 937 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: both of them, so I need to be very smart 938 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 1: how I deploy Uh these two guys? Um? All right? 939 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 1: Can I like one like halftime question? Here are you? 940 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 1: Who is the opponent? Like? Who who are you? Are 941 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: you playing another team of thirty and forty year old 942 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: humans who are um? Fair question? Absolutely, but don't overthink it. 943 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: I I when I hypothetically then figure out how the 944 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: team would do view them as an expansion team that 945 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: are on schedule. Um, but there is no other dimension. 946 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 1: There's no hollow earth where they are part of a 947 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 1: different league. Um. Offensive tackle interesting here? You know I 948 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: could run back the Kansas City Chiefs book ends here 949 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 1: Mitchell Schwartz, who has been one of the best right 950 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: tackles in football, and he's not retired yet and hasn't 951 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: made any announcement. So he's my right tackle. Cocked and loaded. 952 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: Now Eric Fisher, he could be on the left side, 953 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,959 Speaker 1: But I don't know about Eric Fisher. I was thinking 954 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: Russell o'kum, what do you think about that? So, yeah, 955 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: Russell o'coung um, he could also really help us um 956 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 1: with our financial department because he's really smart in that aspect. 957 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 1: I also wanted to throw out Ali Villanueva, former Army ranger. 958 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: You'd bring a lot of a lot of patriotism. Just 959 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely badass um. But yeah, no, I mean at 960 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: offensive tackle, where we've got some serious options here. Um, 961 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: you know, some injuries to deal with. I mean Eric 962 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,800 Speaker 1: Fisher is coming off the late season achilles tear, Mitchell 963 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: Schwartz coming off back surgery. But I mean if we 964 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: could get these guys you know, in the rehab room 965 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: and didn't get him treated, we we might be even 966 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: even to be able to stock some depth if we 967 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,880 Speaker 1: could put as some of these guys on the reserve 968 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 1: pup like the Patriots have been doing for years. Yeah, 969 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: I think you want to bring Schwartz in. You know, 970 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: he did that book with his brother Jeff Warts. Maybe 971 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,720 Speaker 1: they start like doing a podcast together. Jeff's been getting 972 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: into the podcast media game. You're just not You're not 973 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 1: just hiring Mitchell, You're bringing in the whole Schwartz family. Yeah, 974 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,920 Speaker 1: and and Mark you should know, Um, I'm gonna need 975 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: your help on this one. You're gonna have to play 976 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 1: the turk. It's been a nice run for this gentleman 977 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,719 Speaker 1: on the Gray Beards, but Jason Peters, I gotta let 978 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: him go, So you're gonna have to let him know 979 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: that he did please. Well, all right, fine, I've not 980 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,759 Speaker 1: been in. It's not been told to me how much 981 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: money I make inside this organization to begin with. That 982 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 1: sounds like the least fun task anyone has. On the interior, 983 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:42,320 Speaker 1: I got Austin Austin reader Um at center. He's in 984 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: the pivot, Silva. That's a little football talk for you. Uh. 985 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 1: And then I got Lane Taylor at guard. Now that 986 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,840 Speaker 1: guy was a week one starter for the Packers before 987 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 1: he hurt his knee. And then d J Fluker get 988 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 1: that giant involved in the mix. What do you think 989 00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:02,320 Speaker 1: about that we think about the interior boys. Flucker is beautiful. 990 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 1: I love Flucker. Was a guest star on on a 991 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 1: very funny Tyler Lockett video, you know, when he pretended 992 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: to be Russell Wilson signing in. Fluker played the role 993 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 1: of Siarra. So he brings some some joy to the Yeah, 994 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 1: some triviality to the locker room like that. Alright, kicker 995 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, Um, I know he's on the wrong side 996 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: of things now, but you know he's been an accomplished 997 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 1: guy in the league. Another one to kick the tires on. 998 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna make a phone call Silver Sea Bass. 999 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 1: Kick the tire. See how big he is now? Just actually, 1000 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: I just want to see him. I want to see 1001 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: where he's at physically right now. His last season, he 1002 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: so wanted to retire. You could see it on well. 1003 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: He ended the season blowing a hamstring, blowing a tire, 1004 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: chasing down runback. That's a dark end of your career. Alright, 1005 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 1: let's swing to the defense. Um, this is the best 1006 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 1: part of the team, and it feels like usually is uh. 1007 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: Edge options Melvin Ingram, Justin Houston, Olivier Vernon, Alvin Smith 1008 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 1: like them all? Can you have? Can you put them 1009 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: all on your team? For? I think? So? Yeah? Why not? 1010 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,479 Speaker 1: A little death do that? That's a that's a good group. 1011 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 1: What I got about a guy like Ryan Carrigan is 1012 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: he's still sitting down there too. But I went with 1013 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: these four. I mean, you could potentially with Karrigan in there. 1014 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: If you want interior Delon de Kwon Jones, Geno Atkins, 1015 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 1: Kwan Short Snacks, Harrison. I always throw on one ex 1016 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: jet that I just like and uh, I know, I 1017 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 1: don't know if you can play the guitar anymore, but 1018 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 1: Snax was a great disruptor in the middle in his 1019 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: a day. Yeah, we got and we got a lot 1020 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 1: of depth here. We could running a NASCAR package. De 1021 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: Kwon Jones is a good player. I'm surprised he's still unsigned. 1022 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 1: He's solid um full disclosure. I didn't really break down 1023 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,879 Speaker 1: like how we're gonna play things at linebacker, but kJ 1024 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: right it off ball linebacker got lines in the mix, 1025 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,280 Speaker 1: l J. Fort and then uh an old war horse. 1026 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 1: Shawn Lee was somebody that hadn't mind your thoughts. I 1027 00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: like this defense. Is Sean Lee a free agent? I 1028 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:08,800 Speaker 1: forgot about that. You're right, yeah, Smith is also a 1029 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: free agent, and you're looking to win games like nine 1030 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 1: to seven. Cornerback, now, this has also been wide receiver. 1031 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: Same thing. We struggle to get separation cornerback. Usually we 1032 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of concerns about keeping up with speed receivers. 1033 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,359 Speaker 1: The idea of seeing Tyrock Tyreek Hill on the other 1034 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,239 Speaker 1: side of the field. That's that's a nightmare for the 1035 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: seemor really anybody that can run like a four seven forty. 1036 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 1: All right, Richard Sherman. Nice that locked and loaded. Welcome 1037 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: to the Gray Beards. It's been a long time coming. 1038 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: Casey Hayward, um A, J. Boyer, Josh Norman, Quentin Dunbar. 1039 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,399 Speaker 1: Now you say Quentin Dunbar maybe a character concerned. He's 1040 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 1: had some issues off the field. That's why Lar Fitzgerald's here. 1041 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: He's just gonna fix him. Uh no, no, no, how 1042 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: do you like that? I got Bryan Pool maybe in 1043 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: the slot. Yeah, how about Jason mccordy's out there. I 1044 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 1: mean I would maybe take him over. Who was after Sherman. 1045 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 1: There were some Casey hayward A, J boy A, Josh Norman. Yeah, 1046 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 1: that's too much. I don't like Norman and Sherman on 1047 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 1: the same team. They sort of yeah, they well, they 1048 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: filled the same sort of role at one point in 1049 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 1: the in the two thousand tens. I want Sherman to 1050 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,640 Speaker 1: be kind of the boss of this room. Mccorty, you 1051 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 1: get the mccordy twins Twitter, you know handle that they share. 1052 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how that works, you know when they're 1053 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 1: on different teams, but they'd go for that. Very cool. 1054 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: Um Safety, all right, I'm gonna have Kenny Vicardo in 1055 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,840 Speaker 1: the box. I like, I like his abilities there free safety. Listen, 1056 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a center fielder and I'm gonna get 1057 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 1: the prototype. A year away from the game. Maybe he's 1058 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 1: been humbled, maybe he's making some better decisions in his life. 1059 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: Hopefully he stayed in shape. Earl Thomas, welcome back. You're 1060 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 1: a great Yeah. Have the legion of boom here. This 1061 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 1: is This is promising from the marketing angle, that's true. 1062 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that. To get Sherman and 1063 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 1: Thomas back together. We can see if what Cam chancers 1064 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: up to his next field come back and Browner think 1065 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 1: there's only so much can do. I think Browner is 1066 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: unavailable right now. Um. You know you do have a 1067 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 1: lot going on that just with personalities, you know, I 1068 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 1: know this individual does have a job, so I don't 1069 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 1: know if he qualifies. He is over forty though. Any 1070 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 1: thoughts of bringing in Jack ether By as a character 1071 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 1: coach to kind of keep this T team online, you 1072 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 1: know that's a great thought. You need some like a 1073 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 1: moral compass. Gonna have to um draw the line there. Yeah, 1074 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: we mentioned that Cordurel will be my kicking punt returner 1075 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 1: and the punter like this, this is great though into 1076 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 1: my lap a little bit. Thomas Morris staid, great run 1077 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: in New Orleans and he needs a fresh start. Well 1078 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 1: that's what the gray beards are all about. Now that's 1079 00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 1: the team, UM head coach. Well, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. 1080 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, UM offensive coordinator um who was in Miami 1081 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: last year. Uh, you know, forced him to retire. It 1082 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 1: was a little confusing there wasn't sure if that was 1083 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: a firing or not. But yeah, uh. And of course 1084 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: head coaches Wayne Fons. How old is Wade Fons right now? 1085 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: Is it? And their record again? Higher degree of difficulty here, um, 1086 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: And I want to hear your guys thoughts on this too, 1087 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: losing anybody that's you know, below thirty. I just think 1088 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: the offense we're gonna really struggle to score points, and 1089 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: I think the defense is gonna keep us in some games. 1090 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 1: But also it's an older defense, so you worry about 1091 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 1: injury issues. It's the three and thirteen team this year. 1092 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 1: I gotta that. I mean I gotta be honest, what 1093 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 1: do you guys think? I mean, they could, they could 1094 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 1: definitely beat the Texans. Okay, hopefully they're on the schedule. 1095 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm gonna go one in fifteen.
