It is Thursday here 31 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: at j Let's Stadium, and there's a lot to talk about, 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: not a lot of it having to do with the Patriots, 33 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: but some of it. Some big news yesterday and then 34 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: what that all means. It's Paul, it's Evan, it's Deuce, 35 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: it's Me, it's Matt, and the booth and free agency 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: is here. Basically, it's the new league. Season hasn't kicked 37 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: off yet, but moves are being made, Trades are being made. 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: Things are happening, players are moving around, and the question 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: is how much of it will the Patriots be involved in? 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: So let's let's get right into it. Eight five to 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: five Pass five hundred is the Hotline podcast at Patriots 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: dot com as the email address the pay. The Patriots 43 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: didn't announce anything yesterday, but there's a report that is 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: pretty substantial that they have notified Stefan Diggs that they 45 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: will release him once the league year opens up next week. 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 2: So that's the Patriots news. 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, and you're seeing Digs shout out to teammates and 48 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 8: teammates shouting out to him. So it does seem like 49 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 8: that is a correct report, not surprising. I mean, I 50 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 8: think you knew that that the Stefan Diggs thing was 51 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 8: going to come to a head sooner than later as 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 8: free agency approached, and you know, talking to the guys 53 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 8: obviously this morning. I mean my feeling was that you 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 8: got what you needed out of Stefan Diggs last year 55 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 8: for sure. 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: I mean, you needed a reliable guy. 57 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 8: For Drake May in his second season, coming into you know, 58 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 8: a new system with Josh McDaniels. 59 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: You needed a leader in that room and you just 60 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 4: needed somebody to set the tone. 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 8: And I thought he did an outstanding job, he said, 62 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 8: in the tone of the locker room. On the field, 63 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 8: he was productive, certainly some of the biggest games in 64 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 8: the regular season he came through. 65 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 4: But I think you know this signals they're gonna maybe. 66 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 8: Take a half step back to try to take two 67 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 8: steps forward, and maybe more is on Drake May now 68 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 8: this year to you know, be the leader of that group. 69 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 8: But I think it talking to the guys, I think 70 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 8: we all agree they need two more players now. They 71 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 8: need two receivers. 72 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: Even if they kept Diggs, they still needed one. 73 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, they need now the guy probably if they kept Diggs. 74 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 8: And now I think we're all uh, you know. 75 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: So here's my thing. You know, I was thinking about 76 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: it on my way up. And I don't know if 77 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: this closes the book on Stefan Diggs, because Okay, they're 78 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: going to release him, but maybe that's because they couldn't 79 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: come to an agreement on a restructure. So what if 80 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: he goes out there and there's nothing out there better 81 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: than what the Patriots had on the table. Is there 82 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: a possibility he'd come back? 83 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 9: The question is is it still on the table? Why 84 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 9: wouldn't it be because they signed Alec Pierce, are traded for. 85 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: Aj Berry both we just well, no, I said it, 86 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 2: you said it, but you guys didn't agree that even 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: if they kept Digs, they still need another player. 88 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 9: Right, but now they're already paid that other like the 89 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 9: other player. I was if they kept Digs, I was 90 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 9: expecting the other player to come in the draft now 91 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 9: that they had like that money was going to a 92 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 9: wide receiver to be at the top of the depth chart. 93 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 9: So if they go out and give twenty eight million 94 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 9: dollars a year to Alex Pearce, then are they still 95 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 9: going to then pay digs a market value contrace. Well, 96 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 9: it's still going to have to be whatever his market value. 97 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: Well, no, maybe it was a haircut. I don't know, 98 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: like for who now, No. 99 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 9: But I'm like, even if it was a haircut, even 100 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 9: if it was a haircut, it's still going to be 101 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 9: But even if he even if it's a haircut, compared 102 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 9: to what he was going to make, it's still going 103 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 9: to be money, like real money. Like we're not talking 104 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 9: about him coming back to play for eight million dollars, Like, 105 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 9: it's still going to be significant. 106 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 2: Do you know the budget? Like, do you know that 107 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: they can't do that? 108 00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 10: I'm not saying they can't. 109 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: Absolutely could do it, right, I'm just saying that I 110 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: think it's I don't think that that's how they're gonna 111 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: budget it. 112 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 10: That's all. I'm not saying they can't do it. 113 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: So I'm just I'm just saying that, like there's a 114 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: chance it might be slim that I don't think, you know, 115 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: he goes out there and everybody else says, oh, a 116 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: thirty three year old guy, we don't want to pay that, 117 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: and he says, you know what, I liked it there 118 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: until they came to me. But I like Rabel, I 119 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: like the locker room. I might as well go back. 120 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 11: Yeah. 121 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 4: I mean, he already unfollowed on Instagram, so it's kind 122 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 4: of I know. 123 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: But these guys, I mean, really they're very impulsive. 124 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: I never say never on these things. I would be 125 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: this is as close to never. I don't see that happening. 126 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 4: Market will be like though, That I think is the question. 127 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 8: Yeah, I can only see that happening if nobody really 128 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 8: wants exactly, you know, exactly I think. 129 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: I want that. 130 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: I don't like that nobody will want him at all. 131 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: I think, like literally the only team that would want 132 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: him is the Patriot At what price? 133 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 6: Paul, No, No, at any price. 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: I didn't say that, But what I said, what if 135 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: he goes out there and there's nothing better as far 136 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: as an offer, But I don't. 137 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 10: I just don't know why you think you would take that? 138 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 2: Really well, I just don't know why the offer. 139 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 9: I don't think the offer from the Patriots would still 140 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 9: necessarily be there because they're gonna pivot like they're gonna 141 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 9: like they're moving. 142 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: But don't you. 143 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: Don't you think they made the offer in mind that 144 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: we're going to get somebody else. 145 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know why would because I don't think 146 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: that they I think that there's. 147 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 2: What you're saying is like, if he accepted the offer 148 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: they made, that's it for wide receivers. 149 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 9: No, what I'm saying is that they're not gonna then. 150 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 9: I don't think they were gonna then go turn and 151 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 9: pay out Pierce thirty million dollars a year like the 152 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 9: that there's a difference between we're done at wide receiver 153 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 9: and now maybe we're just gonna go draft a cheaper 154 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 9: player in in the draft, or we're gonna be in 155 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 9: a different tax bracket and free agency. 156 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: I don't I would hope they'd be a little bit 157 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: more regressive aggressive considering how close they could be. 158 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 8: But you're saying, and there's an offer, I mean, do 159 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 8: we know there's made him an offer. I don't know 160 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 8: that they released. I don't even know that. 161 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: There's a couple of things that we don't know. 162 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: And I know what the writers are writing is that 163 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: the Patriots were interested in having him back, but not 164 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: at that number. 165 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 6: I have a lot of skepticism for that. I think 166 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 6: this has as much to. 167 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: Do with agreed the age and sort of the I 168 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: don't know the tenuous nature of Stefan Diggs's career. 169 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 6: Is that a polite way to put it. It's been a 170 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 6: lot going on right now. No, but I'm not even 171 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 6: talking about what he has going on right now. 172 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: I think the Patriots hit a home run with Stefan 173 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: Diggs in twenty five and I think they know it too, 174 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: and I think that they look at it and say, 175 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: ain't going to get any better than that. There's only 176 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: one way to go from here in terms of his 177 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: history now I get I think I said this about 178 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: a month ago. Diggs has made some comments about, you know, 179 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: sort of looking back at himself and wondering, why was 180 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 3: I always so difficult? 181 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 6: What There's a chance that he's matured. 182 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: He'll be thirty three, and maybe he has sort of 183 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: turned a corner with his maturity level. I'm a little 184 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: skeptical of that, and I think that his track record 185 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: has been good initially gets restless becomes a problem, and 186 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: I think that They probably looked at it as much 187 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: for that reason as anything to do with the money, 188 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: because the money is extremely reasonable, which is why I'm 189 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: very skeptical of no one's going to get like so 190 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: they didn't want to give him twenty million, So what 191 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: did they want to give him? 192 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: Well, what if it was, like we talked about this 193 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: last week, you know, a veteran incentive Leyden type of thing. 194 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not taken that right, Yeah, like not when 195 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: he has options, like if he has no options and 196 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: he like, I just don't think guys like that take 197 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: like usually they don't usually in sensive laden deals. 198 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 9: I just think, you know, we've heard a lot about 199 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 9: the money, and I understand that that's usually the biggest 200 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 9: thing here. I think all kind of hit on it there. 201 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 9: I think that there's a lot that goes into the 202 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 9: Stefan Diggs experience and know a lot, and I think 203 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 9: last year we saw some of it. They were able 204 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 9: to power through a lot of it and keep winning 205 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 9: in spite of it. But at the end of the 206 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 9: season last year there was a lot going on with 207 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 9: that guy. 208 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 4: At the beginning of the season yeah too, Yeah, And 209 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 4: I think that. 210 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 6: Probably times in the middle that we don't even know 211 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 6: about it. 212 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 9: And he was always here for a good time, not 213 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 9: a long time. He was always a bridge to when 214 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 9: we're gonna hammer down and solidified, like who's Drake May's 215 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 9: guy for the next four or five years. It was 216 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 9: never going to be that long of a thing with 217 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 9: Stefan Diggs. 218 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 8: Everything, Sorry, Paul, I just thought to me, is everything 219 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 8: it's through the Drake lens of giving Drake him and 220 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 8: you know, showing Drake what this kind of player looks like, 221 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 8: What does this player look like in practice? How do 222 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 8: you develop that kind of rapport with that kind of player. 223 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 8: I was blown away by Stefan Diggs. Like route running ability, 224 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 8: it's still even coming off acl when we were in 225 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 8: training camp, when we were in Minnesota stood out to me. 226 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: But like I said. 227 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 8: Earlier, I think now more goes on Drake and he's 228 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 8: going to have to, you know, make up some of 229 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 8: the difference with some of these guys. If it is 230 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 8: you know, a new player like Alec Pierce or a 231 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 8: rookie that you're going to now have to lean on. 232 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 8: I mean, we said we were just throwing out there 233 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 8: like Concepcion is that kind of player at the end 234 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 8: of the first round. That's going to play inside. But 235 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 8: there's going to be a learning curve and it's going 236 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 8: to be up to Drake May to try to get 237 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 8: him eventually up to the kind of level that Yeah, 238 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 8: the fan. 239 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 9: I mean from a football standpoint, that's the biggest risk 240 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 9: that they're taking here is I mean ste Von Diggs 241 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 9: had fifty five first downs for this team last year. 242 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 9: You know, he was a chain moving you know, big 243 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 9: time chain moving piece, you know, guy that third and 244 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 9: six with the game on the line, like Drake May 245 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 9: had somebody to go to and had a guy that 246 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 9: he could rely on consistently in those positions. You know, 247 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 9: if they signed Ali Pierce, I think we're all on 248 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 9: board with that. I think he's a really good player, 249 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 9: but that's not his game. No, ALB Pierce is not. 250 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 6: They need a volume guy. 251 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 10: They need a volume guy, they need a chain mover, 252 00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 10: whatever you want to call somebody. 253 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: Somebody made a good point on one of Paul's shows. 254 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 2: I think it was Albert Breer this morning about Pierce. Yeah, 255 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: and he said in the Colts weaponry, he's probably like 256 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: the fourth guy, fourth to fifth guy, and could that 257 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 2: have kept down his production, whereas if he was now 258 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: on a team that didn't have all the weapons that 259 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: the Colts have, that maybe the production would naturally go up. 260 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: And it wasn't a matter of so, it wasn't a 261 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: matter of ability, it was just, you know, opportuning. 262 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 9: I just don't think he's just not a chain mover, 263 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 9: like he's a deep threat receiver that I think you're 264 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 9: right that if he's targeted one hundred and twenty times 265 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 9: instead of eighty eight times like he was last year, 266 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 9: the production will go up. 267 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 10: But he's going to be targeted down the field. 268 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 6: And it depends what you consider production. 269 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: I think volume of catches, a number of catches, because 270 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: he had over twenty yards a catch. 271 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so but does everything else go down? Probably the 272 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: average soverage, that's what you have to weigh. 273 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 6: What do you want? 274 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: Well, I'd rather have a fifty catch guy for a 275 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 3: thousand yards than an eighty five catch guy for one 276 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 3: thousand yards person, But you need the eighty five catch 277 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: guy for all the reasons. Evan just said he had 278 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: a guy who moves the chains too. But I would 279 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: hate to lose the explosiveness that Pierce has. Maybe if 280 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: he is in an offense that doesn't have. You know, 281 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 3: if he becomes more of a focal point, maybe he's 282 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: able to be a little bit more well rounded and 283 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: catch seventy five balls but still give you that big 284 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: play threat. 285 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 6: But maybe maybe he doesn't, and I would. 286 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: Worry about not having the big play. And he also 287 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: also said the history of number two's going to a 288 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: new team as a number one is bad. It rarely 289 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: works out. 290 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 9: I just don't like looking at it like that either, 291 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 9: because like it's you're like trying to build an offense 292 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 9: and fit a puzzle together, and like Pierce's skill set 293 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 9: matches up really really well with Drake May's skill set 294 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 9: in terms of the deep ball. 295 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 6: That's why I'm intrigued by him. 296 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 9: And so it's not like I don't know where he 297 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 9: fits in the hierarchy of wide receiver ones and twos 298 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 9: and threes, but like he has a skill set that 299 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 9: the Patriots basically recreated with Kishan Boody and Matt Collins 300 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 9: last year. And now instead of putting together those two guys, 301 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 9: you're going to put together a guy on his own 302 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 9: that is really really good and does that all on 303 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 9: his own. What they're going to miss without Diggs is 304 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 9: the guy that can move the chance and if that 305 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 9: comes in the draft to deuce his point, like there's 306 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 9: a developmental curve there where it's not going to hit 307 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 9: immediately like it did with Diggs necessarily. And I look 308 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 9: at the free agent market and I just I don't 309 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 9: think that that guy is out there in free agency. 310 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 10: Like I don't even think A. J. Brown is really 311 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 10: that guy either. 312 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 9: Like AJ Brown, I think is also still more down 313 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 9: the field type of guy. 314 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 6: I have a little talk we. 315 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 3: Think of dos Can, I can, I can, I convention, 316 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs now, okay, yeah, better better, And and I's like, 317 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: I just look at that as the area that if 318 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 3: you say, like where's the fallout football wise from Diggs, 319 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: you know, getting rid of Diggs, It's it's that like 320 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 3: it's you know, a guy that was ultra efficient on 321 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: laid downs, third and fourth down, you know, Baltimore a 322 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: fourth down in the game, And where's Drake may going 323 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: with the ball Stefon Diggs? 324 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: You know? And so is there anyone on the roster 325 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: now And I'm thinking Douglas, I'm thinking Chisholm, I'm thinking 326 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: Kyle Williams that could be that no. 327 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 8: I mean, not that they'd have to be a significant jump, 328 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 8: I would say, but I mean, you know, to Evan's point, 329 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 8: it's also the coverage that Diggs was pulling. 330 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 4: It's the attention he's pulling. 331 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 8: Now you have to replace that because that attention now 332 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 8: will be spread out more. Just looking at the numbers 333 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 8: from last year, he pointed out fifty one first down 334 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 8: for Diggs with forty two for Hunter. 335 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: Henry is the second and we know he's you know, 336 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: getting up there too. 337 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 8: So those are the two biggest reliable pieces for Drake 338 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 8: May last year. They're gonna have to find reliable pieces 339 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 8: that he has chemistry with to keep the change. 340 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: So thing with Pierce to Freddy, and I know if 341 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: you give him, you know, thirty million or whatever he 342 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: ends up getting, people are going to say, well, he'd 343 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: better be your number one. 344 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 6: I agree with these guys. 345 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: I think Pierce probably would not just transform into your 346 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: number one. But like Evin explained about the match with 347 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: Drake May and in the offense and the piece of 348 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: the puzzle, I think it would be a home run 349 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. It doesn't necessarily mean he's 350 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 3: going to be your number one receiver. You need still more, 351 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: and I know people would probably bok at that look. 352 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: I don't think there's much of a shot of the 353 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 3: Patriots signing Alec Pierce. I don't well if they get him, 354 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: but I but I would love to see him in 355 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 3: the offense. 356 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 6: I think it'd be a great. 357 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 4: To get him. 358 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: You'll see comparisons, believe it or not, to Milton Williams 359 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: in that Milton Williams didn't play every down and the 360 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: great can he do it. It's a great. 361 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: Comp I just don't think that they would be getting 362 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: him to do the same. I think they project But 363 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: what I'm saying is they projected Milton Whims. 364 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: I think it's a great comp I do thanks. 365 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 6: There's a lot of similarity. 366 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: I don't think that they would be looking for Peers 367 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 3: to do that much more differently than he's done. Whereas 368 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: Milton Williams, they absolutely thought this guy is going to 369 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 3: be in every down player for us. He's going to 370 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 3: play the run as well as the past. You know, 371 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: he's going to be more than he was in Philadelphia. 372 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 9: If you're like saying that Kaisham Boudi is like a 373 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 9: B minus B deep threat, al Pearce is like an 374 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 9: A minus a deep threat, and I just want to 375 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 9: sign him to be that. Like, I don't want to 376 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 9: sign him to come in here and expect him to 377 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 9: catch a hundred passes and start moving the chains and 378 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 9: be this complete receiver. I want him to be out 379 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 9: there to just go catch go balls from Drake May 380 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 9: for seventeen weeks. But that means that they have to 381 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 9: go and get somebody that can do the other stuff. 382 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: And like you said, if you draft the Guy, there's 383 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: a learning curve there is. 384 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 9: I mean, I love Casey Concepcion, and I think that 385 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 9: putting him and Alt Piers together would be like a 386 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 9: on paper. You could see a vision there of having 387 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 9: two really dynamic players on the Guy together. 388 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, but there's going to be a curve. 389 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 3: But I like it, like it doesn't need to be 390 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: like a finished product in twenty six. I like the 391 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: idea of that you have a twenty six year old. 392 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 3: He'll be twenty peerce will be twenty six when the 393 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 3: season gets underway in a rookie. Yeah, they might not 394 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: be as good as they're gonna be. The ceiling might 395 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 3: not get hit in twenty six. 396 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 6: I'm okay with that. 397 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 8: They're the new heart of the offense in your passing 398 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 8: offense too. Just to highlight too, I told these guys 399 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 8: Ale Pierce was on with Ky Adams sometime this weekend. 400 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 4: Electric he said. He said that he thinks. 401 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 8: There will be more expectations of him as the top 402 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 8: wide receiver on the market. He's gonna sign a big deal, 403 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 8: he said. You know, I think I'm gonna have to 404 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 8: be more see more volume. But I rubber stamp everything 405 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 8: that these guys are saying about how it could fit together. 406 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 4: I mean it's intriguing with Drake. 407 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was impressive though. When Breer 408 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: went down the list of the offensive weapons that the 409 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: Colts have, they're pretty loaded. 410 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor too. I mean you talk about him being 411 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 4: a deep threat. 412 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 8: I mean, team's got to focus on john especially early 413 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 8: in the season. 414 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 3: They were they loaded or do they have a bunch 415 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 3: of They're kind of Green Bay's receiving court. They have 416 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of capable guys like Michael Pittman, 417 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 3: Josh Dollins, good player, Tyler Warren is I forgot about 418 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 3: Tyler Warren, to be honest with you, he I think 419 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 3: he is going to be. 420 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: Special, But they they've got some so I can understand 421 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: why they felt like if if Peerce is demanding a 422 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 2: lot of money, I can understand why they said, you 423 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: know what, if you want to go, go because we're 424 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: not going to pay it. 425 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 6: I actually think he's going to be back. 426 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 10: I see. 427 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 9: I I think that that The Colts, to me, like, 428 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 9: are fools for what they're doing right now. Oh yeah, 429 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 9: I mean I think he's their best receiver by far, 430 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 9: and they their fan base is like up in arms 431 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 9: over this. 432 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I mean I think he's going to be back. 433 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 10: The transition tagging Daniel Jones. 434 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I didn't know that there was 435 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: still hope. 436 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 3: Evidently Pierce wanted to make sure before he signed with 437 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: Indy that Jones was back, so they had this sort 438 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: of stile which is weird to me. 439 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 10: Forget that, especially injury. 440 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: But but I think that they could have done it 441 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 3: like I would have. I would have transitioned Pierce and 442 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: bought time to get the contract done and then said this, 443 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: this is we're going to retain what you know, because 444 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: now that takes away the pressure of Pierce leaving. 445 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, and then you know, no, no, no, we're going to 446 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 6: be signed Jones too. We're just we're hammering out the 447 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 6: structure and give. 448 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 9: Us this is I mean, that regime, that brain trust 449 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 9: there is already kind of on thin ice. And if 450 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 9: they lose Al Pearson free agency and Daniel Jones isn't 451 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 9: a franchise quarterback, Gordon's. 452 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: Coming in hot anytime gets a free agency, as Bill 453 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 3: would say, you have to be prepared to lose him. 454 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. 455 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 3: You know, like I know that Indy probably thinks that 456 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: they are in a decent spot, but they're running no guarantee. 457 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: Coming off Achilles, and so I think I think it's 458 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: one of Evans guys. Jordan Schultz, somewhere between altercations that 459 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: reported that the Patriots had made an offer for a J. 460 00:19:58,840 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: Brown. 461 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 9: He's he's said that they they are preparing to be 462 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 9: very aggressive at the top of the wide receiver market 463 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 9: next week. Whether that's all a Pierce a J. Brown trade, whatever, 464 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 9: but he he made it sound like they're ready to 465 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 9: throw some money around at one of these top receivers 466 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 9: and and make something happen. So uh well, see, I 467 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 9: wonder how much of all of this too, Like Al 468 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 9: Pierce was not supposed to hit the open market, like 469 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 9: receivers of that caliber don't normally hit the open market. 470 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 2: On my back of the envelope, remember, I. 471 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 10: Was reminded of that at the time. 472 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 8: But Fred like second or third second? 473 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: They both three picks after that was funny. 474 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 4: He was on the back of the envelope. 475 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: Right, it was it was the three right, it was 476 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 3: the three guys and sky Moore? 477 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: Is you wanted to see what you're you're forgetting to? 478 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 2: This is once I announced my back of the envelope. 479 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 4: So are you going to get agency contract? 480 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 2: You get a lot of tastes around marketing, but I 481 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: don't get any of the futures. The future by okay, that. 482 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 4: Was a little glimpse in a Paul's computer broom. 483 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 8: We had a little quiz today on the ninety six 484 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 8: Patriots Paul plant just about I think I would say 485 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 8: ten of sixteen on order of the ninety six Patriots 486 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 8: season and the scores, Like. 487 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 6: The ask me the scores last year. I'm telling you 488 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 6: I couldn't do it. 489 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: I was impressive. I don't know if there's anything so 490 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 4: when did. 491 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: They kick in or you know, I don't know. It's 492 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: so like, is there some point where a year. 493 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: I remember. 494 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, now I know. 495 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 8: Oh my god, if you asked me to go through 496 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 8: the last Patriots season, I probably would struggle. 497 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: I don't think I could give you the scores and 498 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 3: don't I don't know what happened yesterday. Give you the 499 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 3: first three anything after that, and then I can give 500 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 3: you the ANFC Championship game was ten seven. 501 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 6: That's about it. I don't even remember the score of 502 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 6: that Super Bowl. 503 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. 504 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 2: Well at the. 505 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 4: I left after I was walking out. 506 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: All right. So the wide receiver situation is a situation 507 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 2: for the New England Patriots right now. 508 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 3: So at the risk of sounding like a you know, 509 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 3: like we work for Patriots dot com. Oh, they have 510 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: to say that I am really on board with the move. 511 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: I think this was the right move to make. I 512 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: know Mike is thrilled because he never wanted the guy 513 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: in the first plis he won me over. And I'll 514 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 3: have to say, as long as there's a plan, I'm 515 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: on board. 516 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 6: That was the part. 517 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: Be like, I think they needed more than Diggs to 518 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: start with, and I've seen a lot of well, now 519 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 3: this opens up this and they have all the cap 520 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: space and they can do that. They've also created another 521 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,239 Speaker 3: hole right, they've also created another because even though I 522 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 3: think it was the right move to move on from Diggs, 523 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 3: Diggs was everything that everybody has said about his impact 524 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 3: on the offense last. 525 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 6: Year, All of that is true. 526 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: I saw one person say it was highly unlikely he's 527 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 3: going to duplicate a season like that. Why he just 528 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 3: did that coming off of torn acl He's only thirty three. 529 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 6: It's not like he's forty three. 530 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 3: Like, it's not reasonable to expect him to have another 531 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 3: good season too, right, Like, I mean again, long term, 532 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 3: I love this move for the Patriots. I think this 533 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 3: makes all all the sense in the world with the Patriots. 534 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 3: He did exactly what Mike. 535 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 6: Rabel could have prayed that he would do for him, 536 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 6: and they cut ties and they let him go. I 537 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 6: think that's perfectly reasonable. But you've created another hole, right, Yeah. 538 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 9: I just think that this is probably since Brady left, 539 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 9: the most desirable the Patriots have been for a wide 540 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 9: receiver and play here. So I think you're in a 541 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 9: much different position. Last year, they just needed to get. 542 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 3: A star receiving someone to say yes, right, and he 543 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 3: was the one, the only one that did right. 544 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 9: And now I think that I wouldn't say, pick of 545 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 9: the litter. There's probably a little strong, but I think 546 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 9: that they are a contender for pretty much every big 547 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 9: name receiver that hits the market, whether it's trade or 548 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 9: free agency, because you have Drake May, you have cap Space, 549 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 9: and you have Mike Rabel and like you are a draw, 550 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 9: you are a draw to one of these guys, like 551 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 9: if you're Alec Pierce, Like, I can't think of a 552 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 9: better scenario for somebody like Ali Pierce with his skill 553 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 9: set to come play with this quarterback, like right, and 554 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 9: you know a J Brown, same thing. 555 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: I know AJ Brown. 556 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 6: It seems like it's kind of a J Brown or bust. 557 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 3: And that's fine, But I I I I only disagree 558 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 3: with that because I don't think that there was ever 559 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 3: a thought that Alt Pierce was actually going to hit 560 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 3: the open market, because receivers, like I was saying earlier 561 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 3: that caliber do not usually hit. 562 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: On Rather Brown Pierce pierers Yeah, because I love you, 563 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: But because he's younger and you don't have to give 564 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 2: up the assets, his fit is clear better right now. 565 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 6: I mean, I think Brown that one's going to come 566 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 6: back and hot me. 567 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 3: Brown is a vastly superior player like his career career wise, 568 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 3: not not even close. No, no comparison right now today, 569 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 3: I think Pierce is a better player than Brown. 570 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 8: The things move though, to me, I think two weeks 571 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 8: ago said there's a lot of hard decisions to make, 572 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 8: and you know, do you want guys who are pretty 573 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 8: good for you back or do you want to try 574 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 8: to be better? And this to me signals like they 575 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 8: understan that and they're going to make some tough decisions 576 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 8: this year. 577 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: They're willing to take a little bit of a step 578 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 4: back to this concept. 579 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 2: The young guy. Where's he slated to go. 580 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 9: Back into the first round? I mean, I think thirty 581 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 9: one is probably is floor. 582 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: So do you want to use thirty one on a 583 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: guy like that? Or do you want to use it 584 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: when someone who might make a more immediate impact? 585 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: Oh? 586 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 10: I think he's going to make immediate impact? 587 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: Oh you do? 588 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, It's not a project. 589 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I thought we thought that he is going 590 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 2: to be a learning. 591 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 10: Curve, well for any receiver. 592 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, unless unless an edge that you totally 593 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 8: are enamored with. I'm on board with at that pick. 594 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 8: What helps Drake the most? Is it going to be 595 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 8: a developmental right? 596 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: Tackle? 597 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 4: Probably not at that spot. 598 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: About that, you know, the best guard. 599 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 4: I mean you look at it. 600 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 10: And pregnant on Yeah, I mean you can make a 601 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 10: case for it, know, but. 602 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 3: You've got a chance to get a weapon next to 603 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 3: Evan Lazar if they take another guard. 604 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: I don't take the right guard this time left guard. 605 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 9: I've come around to it like a little bit and 606 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 9: just like the respect that like it's probably one of 607 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 9: the most glaring holes on the team. But it wasn't 608 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 9: twenty two too, and they just butchered it, so like 609 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 9: just pick a right like. 610 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 10: Put the good guard not. I didn't need not the 611 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 10: ut Chattanooga won no offense. 612 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: Like I feel bad for Cold Strange because my my 613 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: iy are with the pick had nothing to do with 614 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: who they picked. It was the position and everybody else 615 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 3: was like Cold Strange Chatternooga. Like to me, it was 616 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 3: just like guard first round. 617 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 10: I mean it was a combination of the two things. 618 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 6: No and then like storm of crap yeah you know, yeah. 619 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 9: But I think in order to set yourself up to 620 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 9: take a guard, you have to do a lot in 621 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 9: free agency, Like they would have to check a lot 622 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 9: of boxes in free agency to put themselves in a 623 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 9: position to have the flexibility to. 624 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 10: Take a guard to you. 625 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: I mean, this is kind of branching out. I know, 626 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 3: we get a lot of other things to talk about, 627 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: but your whole thing about the whole veteran guard. Yeah, 628 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: you just freed up another few million in cap space. 629 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: Use it on one of the many veteran guards that 630 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 3: are available in free agency. 631 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 9: There's like half a dozen of these guys at varying 632 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 9: you know, price points, even if you don't want to 633 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 9: spend a ton of money on it because you're thinking 634 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 9: that you're going to turn it over to a younger 635 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 9: player eventually, like even a guy like Dylan Parhum, like 636 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 9: who played for McDaniels in Vegas. 637 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 3: It's like eight guards available in free agency that I 638 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 3: know who they are. 639 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 6: I don't know any of the alignment. 640 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in love with that idea. 641 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 8: And just you know something immediately you can do right now, 642 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 8: within the next week, to say we've added a really 643 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 8: good player to this offensive line. How's it all going 644 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 8: to play out? We don't have to figure it out 645 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 8: right now, but we know that we've already improved from 646 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 8: a month ago. 647 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 9: It reminds me of just a lot of them signing 648 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 9: Bradbury and Moses last offseason, where it doesn't put you 649 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 9: into a place where you have to start a rookie 650 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 9: in that spot or a young player. At least you 651 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 9: have somebody that's played the position before, that has experienced, 652 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 9: that has a resume in the league, Whereas like if 653 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 9: they draft another guard in the second or third round 654 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 9: and they're just throwing the dart and hoping that it 655 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 9: sticks in the training camp. 656 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 4: Like a stock. 657 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 8: They've they've thrown a lot of those starts in recent years, 658 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 8: you know, the City shows of the World, the Leyden 659 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 8: Robinson's the World. 660 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 4: It's it's been hard to find, but I I love 661 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 4: that move. 662 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 8: And then you know you're continuing to build that leadership 663 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 8: because a lot of people have Jared Wilson mark for 664 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 8: that center spot. A lot of people have no Morgan 665 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 8: Moses is what thirty four to thirty five, he's going 666 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 8: to be aging out. 667 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 4: You know, maybe you bridge the gap a little bit with. 668 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 8: That leadership by getting you know, left guard who's a 669 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 8: veteran as. 670 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 4: Well, and he can bridge the gap. Draft the right 671 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 4: tackle of the future and you've got some stability. 672 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: All right. So what are some of the other stories 673 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: around the league that's going on in terms of trades, 674 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: trades to the Rocky So Paul, before the show, you 675 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 2: were saying how you don't like what Kansas City did. Well, 676 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 2: if you were a fan of Kansas City, you wouldn't 677 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 2: like that, and you wouldn't like what the Bills are 678 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: doing or did Oh. 679 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: I don't hate what the Bills did, but I think 680 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 3: they need more than Dj Moore. The Bills reportedly have 681 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 3: reached an agreement to acquire DJ Moore from Chicago for 682 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 3: a mid round pick. 683 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 6: That's the only compensation I've seen. 684 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 3: The Kansas City one, to me is a continuation of 685 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: what I've seen from the Chiefs in the Mahomes era, 686 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: whereas they're allowing good players to get to contract time 687 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: and lee and it's it. You know, this is it 688 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 3: seems like they're cornerbacks in particular. 689 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 5: Now. 690 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: Maybe they're just so confident in their ability to draft 691 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: and develop corners because they've done. 692 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 6: It reasonably well. 693 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 3: But Lugerious Sneid went, looks like Jalen Watson's gonna go now. 694 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 6: Trent McDuffie. 695 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 3: They traded to the Rams for four picks, including the 696 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 3: twenty ninth overall, which is I mean that, would you 697 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 3: trade Gonzales for the twenty ninth overall pick right now? 698 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: I wouldn't. 699 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 6: No, so so well. 700 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 3: They're very comparable. They're both All pros. Actually, McDuffie's been 701 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: a first team All Pro and. 702 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 9: McDuffie's more of like a tackles better, more of like 703 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 9: a playmaker in that regard. 704 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 10: But in terms of cover talent. 705 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm like semantics. 706 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 3: I'm just saying I wouldn't trade Gonzales right now for 707 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 3: the twenty ninth overall pick. 708 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 6: Kansas City just did. 709 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 3: And yeah, I know they got a few other picks, 710 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: but it's basically for a first. 711 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 6: Round pick, and I just think it's hill. 712 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 3: You know, one of these guys all over against some 713 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: of them individually, you could say, oh that made sense. 714 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 6: So that made sense. This made sense. They basically reacted 715 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 6: Chris Jones, who they. 716 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 3: Made the highest paid, I believe, the highest paid defensive 717 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: player in football when he signed his deal in Mahomes 718 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 3: and I just said, let it Patrick, you figure it out. 719 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: And now Evan's got a theory that maybe they don't 720 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 3: even think that Mahomes is going to play this year, 721 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 3: and they're just completely punting on the season. I would 722 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,959 Speaker 3: hate that. If I were Kansas City, I would despise it. 723 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: There's no reason why Mahomes can't be ready to go, 724 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 3: just like everybody else that comes back in six months 725 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: instead of twelve months from these serious injuries. Why you 726 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 3: would go into a season and take one of your 727 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 3: better players and just trade them for just you know, 728 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: draft capital. I think it's a continuation that Kansas City 729 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: thinks Mahomes can fix all their problems and they don't 730 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 3: have to spend money. So I think that's a really 731 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 3: good there's a long way of me saying I think 732 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 3: it's a good development for the Patriots. Yeah, it's a 733 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: major hurdle in your conference that I don't think is 734 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 3: as good as it should be. 735 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 8: I mean, really, Rams one of the two best teams 736 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 8: all year, they had a really good player in their secondary. 737 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 8: I mean, they're going to be another tough, tough out 738 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 8: long as Matthew Stafford's stays or about that. 739 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 10: In the Super Bowl news what else? 740 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, No, I think that you either way, we're on 741 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 9: the same page of this is good news for the Patriots. 742 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 10: I just I think Trent McDuffie's. 743 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 9: An awesome player, and I just look at it and say, 744 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 9: Mahomes is hurt in the middle of December. It wasn't 745 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 9: like Diggs was hurt in October when he tore his 746 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 9: acl Like this is it's not as much of a 747 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 9: runway that he has here to be ready for the 748 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 9: start of next season. I just look at what Kansas 749 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 9: City's doing the year they're coming off of, and I'm like, 750 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 9: do do they really feel like they're going to be 751 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 9: able to compete next year even if Mahomes comes back 752 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 9: at some point in the season. I just wonder if 753 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 9: they're looking at it as a long term play of 754 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 9: we're not really gonna be going for it next year, 755 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 9: so let's just load up on draft capital and have 756 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 9: a bunch of draft picks for twenty twenty seven that 757 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 9: we can kind of push everything in the middle. 758 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: For So, I guess Kyler Murray has been told he's 759 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: going to be released, and I don't know if he's 760 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: been told yet, but the rumor is that Tua is 761 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: going to be released from Miami as well. Where do 762 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 2: these guys land? 763 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: So I have a question for you on the whole 764 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 3: is going to be released thing? Why do you think 765 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 3: they don't just release the players. 766 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 2: I think they tell him now because so that they 767 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: can get a head start on talking to people. But 768 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: I think there's something about the league year financially that 769 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: makes the difference. 770 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 3: No, but my the reason it has to happen before 771 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: they started. Like Stefan Diggs specifically, I believe on the 772 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 3: thirteenth is the eleventh, the first day of the I 773 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 3: think it's the thirteenth. These dude like six million, eight 774 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 3: six more million of his contract gets becomes guaranteed. So 775 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 3: obviously I understand why the Patriots want to release him 776 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: before that date because they don't want to be on 777 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 3: the hook for more guaranteed. 778 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 2: Why not just do it now? 779 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really know what precludes them from just 780 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 3: releasing a player. 781 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: Counting also, if you retain him and somebody swoops in 782 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: and wants to do a trade, you still have leverage. 783 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: Well that's why Miami's not going to trade. I'm not 784 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 3: going to just release to it because they're hoping, you know, 785 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 3: probably beyond hope that someone comes in and says, well, yeah, 786 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 3: we don't want to fight the rest of the league. 787 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 3: We'll give you something and well, you know, we'll pay 788 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: some of the salary away, so. 789 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: You'll let it out there that you're going to get 790 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: rid of them. So teams are now, yeah, that's probably 791 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: the answer. Is they hope and someone comes to them 792 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: and makes an offer. Us. 793 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 9: I feel like there's a pretty good chance that Kyler 794 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 9: Murray's playing in the AFCAS next year. 795 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 2: Well does he go to Miami or the Jets? 796 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 9: I mean, there's really only two places where he has 797 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 9: a clear path to start, you know, the other places 798 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 9: he would at least be competing with somebody, uh, you know, Minnesota, 799 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 9: Like I keep hearing that one, but like they're at 800 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 9: least going to give JJ McCarthy the start of the season. 801 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 6: Are you're assuming Rogers goes back. 802 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 3: That's the only one that because I mean, I think 803 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh got in Cleveland. I think there's a lot of 804 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 3: teams that he would clearly be the starter for. I 805 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 3: I don't Murray, I don't think that that sounds the 806 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 3: way that Cleveland's going like Cleveland is making it sound 807 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 3: like Deshaun Watson's in play for them right now. 808 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 10: Pittsburgh, I'm with you. If Aaron Rodgers doesn't go. 809 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 3: Back back then that would change it, right, I mean, 810 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 3: I assume that he's going to do. 811 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 9: He doesn't know yet, but I keep hearing Minnesota, which 812 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 9: I have to think JJ McCarthy is going to at 813 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 9: least get the start of the season to try to 814 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 9: see if he can put it together. 815 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 10: Like it's pretty early. But Atlanta, Atlanta is the other one. 816 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 3: But he's at least competing with Pennix, like it's I 817 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 3: don't think they're just going to hand him the job 818 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 3: or even like, you know, back to Indy. You know, 819 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 3: is you know, if Daniel Jones's Achilles isn't. 820 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 9: Ready, great, a great system fit. But I don't like 821 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 9: they seem so in love with Daniel Jones that but is. 822 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 3: He going to be I mean, if I mean, if 823 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 3: we are not assuming that Mahomes is going to be ready, 824 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 3: we're going to assume on a much more serious. 825 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 6: Age that Daniel Jones is going to be ready. 826 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 3: And again he's probably either way, he's only signing a 827 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 3: one year deal more than likely. 828 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 9: Well, I mean it's the offset language, right, So he's 829 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 9: gonna sign a one year deal for the minimimum. Yeah, No, 830 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 9: I that's a good one. I I just clean is past. 831 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 9: It is the Jets and the Dolphins like they're the 832 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 9: ones that have glaring open like starting quarterback jobs that 833 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 9: are available. It feels very Jets are Dolphins to me, 834 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 9: like that they always go for like some veteran with 835 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 9: the name would make some. 836 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 3: Sense, you know, for Kyler Murray to go to Miami 837 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 3: and you know, and have a guy like Jalen Waddle 838 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 3: to throw to, you know, an h hand in the backfield. 839 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: There's at least a semblance of something there. In to 840 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 3: Evan's point, he's gonna be the quarterback. It's not gonna 841 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 3: He's not gonna lose out to Quinn yours. 842 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 4: You know, God think conversations. 843 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, talk yourself into two is to my benefit 844 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,479 Speaker 3: from like a Minnesota thing. You know, let me go there, 845 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 3: get with Kevin O'Connell. Maybe I had a chance to 846 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: resurrect my career again with great weapons. 847 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 6: You know, I don't know. 848 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 2: Does Mac Jones end up anywhere? 849 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 6: I think he's going to have a market. Looks like 850 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 6: he doesn't. According to jeremy. 851 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 10: Follower, I think he's gonna have a trade. 852 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 3: There's been no real market developing. The Green Bay kid too, 853 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 3: Willis is going to go somewhere. 854 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 4: It's a tough quarterback market. It's hard to talk yourself 855 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 4: into any of these guys. 856 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 3: I mean, a lot of people thank Miami for Willis. 857 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. 858 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 6: I'm not sold on the lake Willis. 859 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 2: Chris writes in can we please stop with Alec Pierce? 860 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: He's not a game changer. His most productive year came 861 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 2: in a year where the Colts had a top two 862 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 2: run game in the league, and even at that, he 863 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 2: just barely passed a thousand yards. He's Taekwon Thornton on 864 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 2: a team with a run game, in. 865 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 3: My opinion, have a thousand career yards now. 866 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: In my opinion, He's not even remotely close to the 867 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 2: player thirty two year old Diggs is. So I'm curious. 868 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 2: I'm curious why a lot of people are acting like 869 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 2: he's a legitimate replacement. I'm okay if he's the number two, 870 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: but him alone doesn't move the needle at all. 871 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 4: It moves the needle for me. 872 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 9: Replacing Peers with like Kayshawn Booty and Mac Collins without 873 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 9: Peers doesn't move the needle. Like he's a much better 874 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 9: player than those two guys. I mean, no disrespect, but like. 875 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 3: We're going to get into semantics and stuff and replacing 876 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 3: dig He's a completely different player than Diggs. He's not 877 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 3: gonna if you're looking for him to get that kind 878 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 3: of volume, then you're going to be disappointed. Yes, But 879 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 3: to say that he's he's not a difference maker. When 880 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 3: he averaged he led the league in yards per catch 881 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 3: and is like a thousand yard it's not like he 882 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 3: averaged twenty five yards per catch and had four hundred yards, 883 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 3: which you know, like Chris Hogan. 884 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 1: Used to do. 885 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 3: This is the guy who read a thousand yards and 886 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 3: led the league in yards per catch. It was only 887 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 3: like whatever twenty somebody he had the same year that 888 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 3: Dicks did on half the catches. 889 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 4: He's led the lead in yards perception the last two years. 890 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 6: Two years. Yeah, he's the definition of a difference maker. 891 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 9: I just think it's differ and we get into this 892 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 9: semantics argument. I get, but we're so attached to that 893 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 9: wide receiver one thing. Yeah, and it's just like and 894 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 9: we just unders he's an outside receiver that takes the 895 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 9: top off. So like now on his side of the field, 896 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 9: that safety has to respect the fact that he can 897 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 9: run by both guys really on that side of the field, 898 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 9: Like it just it changes the equation of how you're 899 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 9: defended more so than it maybe is, Like is he 900 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 9: in the Jamar Chase justin Jefferson here? No, but I 901 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 9: think that he's a He changes how you are being 902 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 9: game planned against because of his speat. 903 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 8: It's simple math to me. You have the most accurate 904 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 8: downfield front quarterback in the league and the most the 905 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 8: more prolific downfield receiver is now available. You know, when 906 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 8: Paul was talking about we were saying the match that 907 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 8: that is reminded me a little bit about when the 908 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 8: Brady when they got Welker for Brady, where it was 909 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 8: you know, is Welker number one? 910 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 2: No? 911 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 8: But his skill set fit Brady so much that you 912 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 8: knew that Brady's going to see every defense, He's going 913 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 8: to put Welker right into the right position, and he's 914 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 8: going to complete one hundred and fifty passes to him, 915 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 8: and that's exactly what happened. 916 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: I would agree with the emailer is if you know, 917 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 3: if you if you just got Pierce and you just 918 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 3: decided that okay, you're probably going to be disappointed based 919 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 3: on what it's going to cost you and the way 920 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 3: you know, there's. 921 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 6: The offense would still be lacking something. 922 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would agree with all that that reservation, 923 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 3: but the emailer, I'm on board with you. 924 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 9: I mean, the ideal scenario would have been pairing Peers 925 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 9: with Digs. And obviously Digs the situation just was what 926 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 9: it was and they're moving on. But to pair him 927 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 9: with somebody like Diggs that's going to be that inside 928 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 9: guy that's going to move the chains and wait underneath. 929 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 9: It's obviously not at that level, but it's it's Welker 930 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 9: and Moss right. It's having a guy underneath and over 931 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 9: the middle and a guy over the top. And with 932 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 9: Drake May's ability to throw the ball deep, teams are 933 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 9: going to have to respect the fact that he has 934 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 9: out piers on the outside. 935 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 4: Now, what do you guys think is harder to find? 936 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: Though? 937 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 4: Like, what would you rather do? 938 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 8: Would you rather feel like you have a chain mover 939 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 8: that Drake has trust in and you have to kind 940 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 8: of find the deep threat or would you feel better 941 00:39:59,200 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 8: about we've. 942 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 4: Got to guy who can take the top off. 943 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 8: Hopefully that opens things up and means opportunities for us 944 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 8: to find someone underneath to be the chain mover. Like, 945 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 8: what is the harder of those two roles to find 946 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 8: and which would you rather. 947 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 9: I would say the Chane mover because he made MATC 948 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 9: Collins and Kishon Booty viable deep threats just because of 949 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 9: how good he is. So like, even though that might 950 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 9: not be the ceiling of what that role could be 951 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 9: in the offense, they still got a thousand yards combined 952 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 9: from those two guys because he's so good. 953 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 954 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 9: So like, I think the chain mover thing too, Like 955 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 9: in Josh mcdaniels's offense, that's. 956 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 10: A really important role. 957 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 9: And Josh McDaniels talks a lot about getting like the 958 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 9: first first down of a drive and you know, keeping 959 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 9: the offense on schedule and moving you know, the offense 960 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,959 Speaker 9: down the field. These are all things that a Diggs does. 961 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 9: And I think even though Drake May's skill set might 962 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 9: lend itself more to the deep ball guy, the offense 963 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,240 Speaker 9: lends itself more to the digs kind of player. 964 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 3: This might just be sort of anecdotal and not necessarily 965 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 3: born out, but I would also so add to that, 966 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 3: I think May's ability makes it easier for the guy 967 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,479 Speaker 3: down the field, whereas May, I think needs more help 968 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 3: from the from the receiver. On the other thing, I 969 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 3: think he got he benefited more from Diggs's sort of 970 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 3: savvy and weut running and all that, because I don't 971 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 3: think that's as natural to May. Those quick throws, accurate 972 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 3: third fourth, downd chain moving kind of things. That's not 973 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 3: the best part of May's game. The best part of 974 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 3: May's game, I'm going to make you look good when 975 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 3: we throw it up. 976 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 2: Derek in South Carolina raises. He asks, you know, with 977 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 2: losing Diggs, is wide receiver now the number one offseason priority. 978 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 2: I would say that the number one priority should be 979 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 2: giving May whatever he needs to succeed, and of course 980 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 2: that includes wide receivers. But I also think the line 981 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,439 Speaker 2: and tight end, like the priority this off season would 982 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 2: be to get this offense humming for Drake May that 983 00:41:59,239 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 2: that should be the. 984 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 6: But what do you think is going. 985 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: To do that? 986 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 2: Well then whoever, Like, if if the opportunity is for 987 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 2: the best tight end, get that, you know, like there's 988 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 2: no I don't think there's any order right now. It's 989 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 2: just you need these people. You're not gonna get them all. 990 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 2: So like, as the opportunity makes itself available, you've got 991 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 2: to move. 992 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, look at every I mean, that's what I said. 993 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,439 Speaker 8: About the thirty first pick, barring you know, like maybe 994 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 8: a Cassius Howell being there. I looked at it through 995 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 8: the prism of Drake, who's available, Who's going to help 996 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 8: Drake the most immediately and in the long term, and 997 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 8: you know, setting up those those long term weapons. I mean, 998 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 8: I think you look at I went down on Tuesday, 999 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 8: show all the guys that are going to be free 1000 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 8: agents next year on the you know, Booty's up, Douglas 1001 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 8: is up, Hollins is up. They have to find who 1002 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 8: are going to be Drake May's long term guys for 1003 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 8: you know, the end of his first contract and into 1004 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 8: that second, you know, lucrative contract, and I'm sure he's 1005 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 8: going to sign next offseason, you know. So it's it's 1006 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 8: a priority for sure, but you got to get it right. 1007 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 4: And I think you can keep taking swings every year. 1008 00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 4: Trying to find it. 1009 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 3: For me is the priority. And I understand Fred's point, 1010 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 3: like whatever presents itself you should take. I'm not saying 1011 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 3: take the seventieth best receiver because that's the biggest need 1012 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 3: over a tight end. Who might be the best tight 1013 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 3: end available or the best offensive tackle available, whatever not. 1014 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 6: Whatever is available is available. 1015 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: They should have a lot of irons. 1016 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 3: Five receiver to me, is a bigger need than the 1017 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 3: other things. I think you guys all picked edge rusher. 1018 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 3: Edge rusher is a huge need. I totally agree with 1019 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 3: you guys. For me, it's more about what Fred says. 1020 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 6: I think they got to find a way to give 1021 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 6: Drake a little bit more helpful. 1022 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 9: I think that's the number one concern with this move 1023 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 9: to me, is like, ideally, you don't want to put 1024 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 9: yourself in a position in the draft where you have 1025 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 9: to draft a certain position, right, And that's usually when 1026 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 9: you make mistakes, is when you are drafting for need 1027 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 9: and it's like we're going in to the draft and 1028 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 9: we have no receivers and we have no choice but 1029 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 9: to take a wide receiver here now. And that's when 1030 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 9: you end up with the seventh best receiver instead of 1031 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 9: a better player at a different position. And so that's 1032 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 9: what free agency is about. Like free agency is you 1033 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 9: have needs, you have veteran players that are proven commodities 1034 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,919 Speaker 9: in the league, and we're going to sign these guys 1035 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,240 Speaker 9: to plug them into these holes. 1036 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 10: So I'm hoping that next week. 1037 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 9: They're able to do a lot, you know, whether it's 1038 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 9: Alan Pierce AJ Brown sign a guard maybe and just 1039 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 9: check off some of these boxes because you don't want 1040 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 9: to get to the draft and be reaching on guys 1041 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 9: because you have to take a position of need. I 1042 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 9: think that they had to kind of do that the 1043 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 9: last couple of drafts, and they, you know, Drake May 1044 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 9: has obviously been a huge home run. Campbell will see, 1045 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 9: you know, like that's when you sort of get yourself 1046 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:34,720 Speaker 9: into trouble. 1047 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 2: All right, foods here, so we're going to take a break. 1048 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll open up the phones.

In two thousand and. 1287 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 14: How he changed his body and he maximized his God 1288 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 14: given genetic ability. Everybody talks about TB twelve and the pliability, 1289 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 14: they don't talk about how hard he worked in the 1290 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 14: weight room and we lifted with the tight end and 1291 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,919 Speaker 14: the linebackers, and he squatted and he hanged, cleaned, and 1292 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 14: he did all those things to make his body the 1293 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,920 Speaker 14: best that it could be for him to play quarterback 1294 00:54:58,960 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 14: and to compete. 1295 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 1: Uh and once his opportunity came. 1296 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 14: So I think that's always a good reminder just looking 1297 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,839 Speaker 14: at what you know, how hard this player worked and 1298 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 14: what people thought it was. 1299 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: But you know, some of us that were. 1300 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 14: There, you know, we got to see that, and you know, 1301 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 14: I think that's just a good reminder that as a 1302 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,760 Speaker 14: young player you can still make a lot of gains 1303 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:22,760 Speaker 14: once you started your career. 1304 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 9: Kind of along those same lines, when you did an 1305 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 9: audit of the season in the Super Bowl, you guys 1306 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 9: were a great offense during the regular season, Dans MVP 1307 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 9: runner up. In the playoffs, it seemed to take maybe 1308 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 9: a little bit of a step back. Is that, you know, 1309 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 9: young guys in big spots, great defenses. 1310 00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 14: Well, I mean you obviously know what the type of 1311 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 14: defenses that we played. 1312 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't like we were playing some rum dums.

All right, let's get 1402 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 16: to the phones people have been patiently holding on. We'll 1403 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,919 Speaker 16: start with Sean and Vancouver. What's up, Sean Sred? 1404 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 17: I got a couple of things, Evan, you came around 1405 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 17: to Chris Browsel the third. I'm wondering what turned it 1406 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 17: for you or what want them over for you? And 1407 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 17: would you prefer him over at Denzel Boston? And then 1408 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 17: the big thing though, that I want to talk about 1409 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 17: is Fred. You're talking about the Patriots needs and and 1410 00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 17: you know this has been a conversation. I think it's 1411 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 17: reallliant important that like Kevin said that we addressed this 1412 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 17: in free agency. So I have five areas of need 1413 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 17: that I'd love to see addressed in free agency. 1414 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 2: About three, let's short it top three okay. 1415 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 17: Three, Okay, we'll just do do the offense then for 1416 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 17: for the x fide receiver, like you're saying, Alex Pierce 1417 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 17: makes the most sense tight end who can block like 1418 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 17: Kate Auten and left guard David David Edwards. 1419 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good. Thanks, Sean, appreciate it. 1420 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 3: I like all the individuals that he picked. I just 1421 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 3: think it's very little chance of big, big money at all. 1422 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:41,479 Speaker 6: Three. 1423 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, Christians in la uh Oh? What's up? 1424 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,479 Speaker 10: What are you upset about? 1425 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 18: No, there's nothing dramatic. I just I'm a little upset 1426 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 18: that we keep doing this thing that that we just 1427 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 18: can't seem to get right in New England. We cannot 1428 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 18: get a number one receiver a bit right, like we 1429 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 18: get the wrong guy, someone that doesn't fit the systems. Listen, 1430 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 18: Stefon Diggs played an amazing season this year, coming off 1431 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 18: in ACL He's only going to get better next year. 1432 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 18: And he's the kind of guy that has like a 1433 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 18: chip on his shoulder and wants to prove himself. He's 1434 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 18: also the kind of guy that we would restructure his 1435 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 18: contract and he literally wants to be here. But here's 1436 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 18: what I'm proposing. Maybe it's crazy. Maybe we keep Stefon 1437 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 18: Diggs and then we get Alec Pierce. Also we get 1438 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 18: rid of That's what I don't like these guys Mac Collins, 1439 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 18: Kayshaun Booty and maybe even Pop Douglas. And we have 1440 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 18: two guys behind those. We have Kyle Williams and Efen 1441 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,960 Speaker 18: Chism behind Diggs and Pierce to sort of develop, and 1442 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 18: we can use that first round pick or free agency 1443 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 18: to get a tight end or to address the offensive line. 1444 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 18: I don't see why we keep doing this thing where 1445 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 18: we're kind of outthinking ourselves. 1446 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 9: Right, Okay, I get what he's saying about the wide receivers. 1447 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 9: I mean they keep on trying to swing at wide receiver. 1448 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 9: And I just think that one of the things that 1449 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,520 Speaker 9: Paul you brought it up first, like the whole Digs thing, 1450 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 9: is there's a lot to unpack there. There's a lot 1451 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 9: of layers that are just beyond They didn't want to 1452 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 9: pay him the contract that he was owed in twenty 1453 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,840 Speaker 9: twenty six, and I think a lot of that is 1454 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 9: maybe more of a factor than what's being made out 1455 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 9: to be. I think because the money people really want 1456 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,920 Speaker 9: to hammer them on the money piece of it. And 1457 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 9: I think there's a lot going on with Stefon Diggs that. 1458 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially towards. 1459 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 10: The end of the sea. 1460 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 3: I don't have any inside information on this. This is 1461 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 3: just my view from you know, ten thousand feet. I 1462 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 3: think it has as much to do with Diggs's whole 1463 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 3: package then it has to do with the contract, because 1464 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 3: I don't think the contract was quite frankly, I think 1465 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 3: he was average annual value. I think he was twenty 1466 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 3: third among wide receivers. The twenty point six million was 1467 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 3: going to slay and that's going to go down because 1468 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 3: like Alec Pierce for one, that doesn't count. I don't 1469 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 3: think George Pickens with his franchise tag when he signs 1470 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 3: that that see, he's going to go further down. I 1471 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,600 Speaker 3: don't think his contract was out of the realm of 1472 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 3: you know, reasonable numbers at twenty million, right. I think 1473 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 3: this has more to do with them sort of wondering. 1474 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 2: You're too early instead of two late. 1475 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:27,320 Speaker 1: What happened? 1476 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 3: What happens if he becomes a real problem. And then 1477 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 3: you know what kind of stuck with him because we 1478 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 3: paid him the twenty million. 1479 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,160 Speaker 8: So your threat of the needle last year, I mean 1480 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,959 Speaker 8: you got ormance on and off the field with him, 1481 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 8: you dodged. I mean, let's face it, a few bullets 1482 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 8: with him off the field that dated back to the 1483 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 8: very start of it all. 1484 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 4: And I never thought that Stefan Diggs was going to. 1485 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 2: Be that one. 1486 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 8: It always felt like he was going to be a placeholder, 1487 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 8: somebody to get. 1488 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 4: Drake up the speed. 1489 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 8: But you know, I think we've been searching for the 1490 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 8: quarterbacks so much that now you finally have a guy 1491 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 8: in place that you believe in, and now I feel 1492 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 8: like it's feasible to really attempt to find these guys 1493 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 8: that Christian's talking about. Not to say that it wasn't before, 1494 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 8: but when you have mac Jones and you know, you 1495 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,640 Speaker 8: don't know, and you're still trying to build a protection, 1496 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 8: and now they're getting to the point where ye off 1497 01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 8: line they got And it's like. 1498 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 2: If I bought a Maserati and didn't have a garage, 1499 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,880 Speaker 2: if my plan isn't to build that garage, then don't 1500 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:20,919 Speaker 2: buy the Masarati. 1501 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 3: But also I wouldn't discount. You know, there's been a 1502 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 3: lot made of the last couple of years. It's you know, 1503 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,360 Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley, it's Brandon Ayuk, it's these guys that they've 1504 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,800 Speaker 3: been chasing and they can't get them, you know, even 1505 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,439 Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins that year. 1506 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 6: I don't think that's that's a thing anymore. 1507 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 3: I think that they'll be able to pursue guys in 1508 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 3: you know, Chris Godwin last year, just last year. I 1509 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 3: think now they won't have to just take the only 1510 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 3: one digs that says that'll say yes. I think they're 1511 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 3: going to be very attractive with this young quarterback and 1512 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 3: a team that's coming off a Super Bowl. 1513 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 2: Appearing, and don't forget the new training facility is right. 1514 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know if that's I think it's. 1515 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 9: It's funny how like Diggs is going to end up 1516 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 9: being a big reason why the plane got off the ground, 1517 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 9: but he's just not going. 1518 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 10: To be the one that lands it, you know what 1519 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 10: I mean. 1520 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 3: Like, and it's kind of, uh, you know, stinks for 1521 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 3: him kind of in a way that that's he was 1522 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 3: kind of that guinea pig, but he sort of was. 1523 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 3: And I just think the one thing that you can't do, 1524 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 3: is you can't just keep going year to year at 1525 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 3: that position, Yes, because that's not really fair to Drake May, right, 1526 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 3: like every fall into the Kansas City tree, right, and 1527 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,919 Speaker 3: you just say, well, Patrick will figure it out, Josh Allen, 1528 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 3: you could figure it out if you get. 1529 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:33,960 Speaker 2: A number one guy. 1530 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,479 Speaker 9: Now, if you get Alex Pierce, who's twenty six years old, 1531 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 9: then you have some runway with him and Drake May together. 1532 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 9: You don't want to get into a situation where, well, 1533 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 9: we got A Diggs for a year, and now we're 1534 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 9: going to hire mercenary A J. Brown for a year, 1535 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,760 Speaker 9: and now we're gonna. 1536 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 6: About how about Brian Thomas. 1537 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,280 Speaker 10: He's available. I don't know why is he available? 1538 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 3: Because supposedly he doesn't fit well with Trevor Lawrence and 1539 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,080 Speaker 3: what Liam Collen wants to do on offense, which is 1540 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 3: a red flag. I fully recognize that's a red flag. 1541 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 3: Like he's a young player, why are they looking to 1542 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 3: move on from it? But that's a guy that has 1543 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,440 Speaker 3: obviously the ability and young in the prime of his career. 1544 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 6: You get him still on his rookie contract. 1545 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,440 Speaker 8: I mean, I love what Evan's saying, just finding those 1546 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,560 Speaker 8: guys that Drake can build a long term relationship with. 1547 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 8: You can't keep chasing the digs Is and the aj 1548 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 8: Browns and every year you're on, you know, a one 1549 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 8: year kind of deal, trying to plug that hole. You've 1550 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:31,680 Speaker 8: got to find a way to get some young players. 1551 01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 8: I mean that to me, I mean Ale Pierce being 1552 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,680 Speaker 8: young is one of the big appeals to him too. 1553 01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 8: And by the way, DJ Moore went for a second. 1554 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 8: DJ Moore in a fifth. 1555 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 2: For a second. 1556 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:41,920 Speaker 10: It was during the break. 1557 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 4: Oh sorry, I was for getting my stamach. 1558 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 3: Oh okay, we weren't on the air when we said that. 1559 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 3: I was going to call you Fred, But I'm not 1560 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 3: going to call your Fred now. Now. 1561 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 2: I'm just going to say we were in a break. 1562 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 9: I've seen some people break with that with the DJ 1563 01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,919 Speaker 9: Moore thing, being like that's a hefty price, like bad 1564 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,320 Speaker 9: news for the Patriots of just talking about that, I don't. 1565 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 9: I mean, it's this second for fifth and djil like 1566 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:05,280 Speaker 9: it's a pick swap, of. 1567 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 3: Like it was a big pick swap. It's a big 1568 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 3: pit swap. But I don't think that that's like a 1569 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:10,400 Speaker 3: sizable trade. 1570 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 6: It's not outrageous. 1571 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 2: No, uh, Sabah is in North Carolina. 1572 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 19: What's up, Hey there, gentlemen. It's so pleasure to just 1573 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 19: listen to you guys in my living room. It's just 1574 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 19: very enjoyable. So I just want to thank you. I 1575 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,919 Speaker 19: like listening to you guys. 1576 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 14: Uh. 1577 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 19: First of all about the wide receiver thing. Do not 1578 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 19: get eighth Brown. I'm not a big diva person, and 1579 01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 19: I agree with you on Stefan Dick to think he's 1580 01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,320 Speaker 19: the guy you date, not Mary. So, like you said, 1581 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 19: you throw the needle with him and you want to 1582 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,520 Speaker 19: have great memories when it's over. You don't want it 1583 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 19: to get ugly, which you could. And I love Stephan 1584 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 19: Diggs and your team, I really did, but I would 1585 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,360 Speaker 19: not get a J. Brown. He demeans his quarterbacks, just 1586 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 19: ask the Philadelphia Hurts. He read books on the sidelines. 1587 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 19: He's dairy like I want the ball instead of letting 1588 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 19: the offense come to him. So I think the best 1589 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,000 Speaker 19: way for the Patriots to win Super Bowls is to 1590 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 19: do like Tom Brady. He never had that one guy, 1591 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 19: and when he did have moss y'all didn't win the 1592 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 19: Super Bowl. So I say go with by committee. And 1593 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 19: I like that fierce guy. Now I have one thing 1594 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 19: for you guys to consider. I know it's out of 1595 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 19: the box, and you can call me crazy, but I 1596 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 19: don't like your left side of the line at all. I 1597 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 19: would not double down with them. I would cut braids. 1598 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 19: I would trade your left guard and that left tackle 1599 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 19: got from L s U for Max Crosby. Straight up? 1600 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 19: Would they do that? 1601 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 2: The d think the Raiders would no. 1602 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 19: Throwing a fourth round pick? 1603 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 6: No, No, I think throwing two ones. And maybe. 1604 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:44,720 Speaker 19: It's better with your backups in there. 1605 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 3: You don't like the left side of the Patriots line, right, 1606 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,599 Speaker 3: you don't like the left tackle and the left guy. 1607 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 19: We were on a good call, right, I don't like them. 1608 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 6: You don't. 1609 01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 3: You don't like them, But the Raiders are going to 1610 01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 3: like them and give up their best player for them. 1611 01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 19: Well, I thought the Raiders have a horrible off of 1612 01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 19: the line, and I. 1613 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 6: Think, but but you don't think those players are. 1614 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 3: Good, So they would still have a horrible offensive line. 1615 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,599 Speaker 2: I guess the Are they going to be any better 1616 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 2: at the Raiders? 1617 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 20: No? 1618 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 19: Probably not. That's why I would get rid of get 1619 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 19: rid of. 1620 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 2: Them, right, So, but the Raiders might know that, So 1621 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:22,599 Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean obviously. 1622 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 3: Unreally, you're not going to trade two, you know, second 1623 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,799 Speaker 3: year offensive lineman who started for you for the whole season. 1624 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,599 Speaker 6: You're going to give them a chance continue to do nobody. 1625 01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:35,200 Speaker 2: I like the creative thinking. I like the creative thinking, generous. 1626 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 19: In a double down, they're gonna cut, you gotta cut 1627 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:38,679 Speaker 19: your losses. 1628 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,639 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's a loss yet. I don't 1629 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 2: think the Patriots think it's a loss yet. I think that, 1630 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,800 Speaker 2: you know, I think you might move Wilson at center, 1631 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,400 Speaker 2: and I think they think that Campbell can get stronger 1632 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 2: and and have a year two jump. So I don't 1633 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 2: think they think it's a loss yet. 1634 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 19: All right, Well, I like the Pierce thing, but get 1635 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 19: the line fixed absolutely, and I don't want any divas 1636 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 19: in the house. Avoid again, Well. 1637 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 2: Then you don't like. 1638 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,959 Speaker 3: You don't want any receivers except for justin Jefferson. 1639 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,520 Speaker 10: All right, thanks on the sideline. 1640 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 2: Eric is in Louisiana. What's up? Eric? As? 1641 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:15,360 Speaker 10: He should be. 1642 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 21: Right, Jefferson, Hey, how y'all doing? 1643 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 15: I just wanted to ask this one question of obviously, 1644 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 15: we drafted Will Campbell, Treyvon Henderson, and Kyle Williams last 1645 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 15: year and it was a struggle for them at times, 1646 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 15: but they obviously picked it up and they showed promise. 1647 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 15: What is the expectation for the draft picks are coming 1648 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 15: into this year to say that, Okay, we have something here. 1649 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 15: We don't have to worry about this spot anymore. So, 1650 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 15: like as far as like edge, wide receiver and like 1651 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 15: the line back, like is it stats is something or 1652 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,720 Speaker 15: be something that's gonna be like, Oh, we don't have 1653 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:15,320 Speaker 15: to worry about this certain position in the future. 1654 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 10: Okay, I'm not sure I understand the question. 1655 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 4: I'm not sure I follow Eric. Yeah, quarterback, but I 1656 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:22,599 Speaker 4: mean otherwise, I. 1657 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,439 Speaker 8: Think you can if it's not an immediate need, it's 1658 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 8: a long term need. I'd say cornerback is not an 1659 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 8: immediate you know, maybe day one need. 1660 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 4: But Carlton Davis, you know you're gonna need some depth there. 1661 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 3: That's showing you resign Gonzales, which I'm expecting I would. 1662 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:37,560 Speaker 6: I would agree with Mike on that. 1663 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 3: You know, running back is probably not a pressing need 1664 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,960 Speaker 3: right now, but it's it's going to be and they 1665 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,479 Speaker 3: probably need some depth there too. Tight end is a need, 1666 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,920 Speaker 3: Wide receivers in need, edges a need. I mean, is 1667 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:54,280 Speaker 3: Barbo going to stay. Then maybe defensive tackle isn't necessarily 1668 01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 3: a need with Williams and Barmore back again, you know 1669 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,679 Speaker 3: this quarterback, it's kind of is that what he was asking? 1670 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,080 Speaker 3: What positions do you look at and say, like, that's 1671 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,080 Speaker 3: not you know, we're set there. 1672 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:07,479 Speaker 4: I think that's the NFL too, though. 1673 01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:09,200 Speaker 2: It's just it's it's everybody's you. 1674 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,880 Speaker 4: Know, it's not for long league. That's what it is. 1675 01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 6: And the reason why you say quarterback is because you 1676 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 6: only need one of them. 1677 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 1: You have it. 1678 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:16,559 Speaker 10: Long snapper. 1679 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, said, assuming you're signing, assuming good gonsip I 1680 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,440 Speaker 2: feel good or not. I'd always like another good cornerback, 1681 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:27,640 Speaker 2: but that's not a priority. 1682 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1683 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, we were talking a little bit about that with 1684 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 8: Bradley at the at the linebacker position. 1685 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,680 Speaker 4: I think that's a good position to talk about because you. 1686 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 8: Know, Gibbons isn't an r f A, so that's and 1687 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,360 Speaker 8: he wasn't drafted, so you could easily give him. I mean, 1688 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 8: I think you'd make less than me last year, so 1689 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,559 Speaker 8: they're probably not going to do that. They probably look 1690 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 8: more to give him a two or three year deal. 1691 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 4: But that's one spot where I don't like. 1692 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,120 Speaker 8: I don't think that you know, I love Spoline, but 1693 01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 8: I don't know about the guys next to him. How 1694 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 8: if either one of those are you know, real blue 1695 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 8: chip kind of guys. So I could see them trying 1696 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:56,680 Speaker 8: to upgrade it. But at the same time, if you 1697 01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 8: have to go in the next season with that same 1698 01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 8: three guys with other priorities l s where it might 1699 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,600 Speaker 8: be one of those positions where you just kind of 1700 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 8: have to bite the bullet. 1701 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,599 Speaker 4: I think there's always positions like that where you. 1702 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,760 Speaker 8: Don't go in feeling like, oh, we've got an all 1703 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:09,680 Speaker 8: star group, but it's going to be good enough for 1704 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 8: this year. 1705 01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,240 Speaker 9: I think that there's a lot of positions like that 1706 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 9: in the draft, where like again, if you go into 1707 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,400 Speaker 9: the draft without a bunch of needs that you have 1708 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 9: to fill immediately. Linebackers, it's a great linebacker class, a 1709 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,720 Speaker 9: great off ball linebacker class, one of which is kind 1710 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 9: of a dying position. So it's been a couple of 1711 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,960 Speaker 9: years since they've had one of those, So you would 1712 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 9: like to draft one of those guys. But if you 1713 01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 9: need a left guard, and you need another wide receiver, 1714 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,600 Speaker 9: and you need an edge rusher, like now, all of 1715 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 9: a sudden, like we're throwing darts at on Day three 1716 01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 9: at linebacker. So like, if you can get some of 1717 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 9: these things done in free agency, then I think you 1718 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 9: start drafting for the future. Like the other position I 1719 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 9: keep hearing so much about is right tackle and how 1720 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 9: they need to draft the right tackle of the future. Well, 1721 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 9: they're not in a luxury position right now to be 1722 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,760 Speaker 9: drafting a right tackle of the future at thirty one. 1723 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 9: Like I see a lot of mocks with Blake Miller. 1724 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 9: I think he's a good player too, But like, are 1725 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 9: you in a spot right now where you can draft 1726 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 9: a player that's not going to play in twenty twenty six? 1727 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,120 Speaker 9: Like this isn't Nate Solder, Like we're not in that 1728 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,799 Speaker 9: era of Patriots football where their roster is just stacked 1729 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,080 Speaker 9: and they have the luxury to make those types of picks. 1730 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 9: So hopefully in free agency they do a lot and 1731 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:17,200 Speaker 9: they can figure that. 1732 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 4: Proctor going thirty one in Charles Davis's mock draft. 1733 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 9: Yeah, like Cayden Broctor, So you're gonna draft him to 1734 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 9: play right tackle two years from now and and do 1735 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 9: what in the meantime and like that, and you look 1736 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 9: at you know, Ed Dresher and they got you know, 1737 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,519 Speaker 9: they got bodies right like it just it doesn't seem 1738 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 9: like they're there yet to make that kind of pick. 1739 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 2: Travis in West Virginia wants to know, you get on 1740 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 2: your own nerves talking about the same four wide receivers 1741 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 2: for two hours every show for the past month. 1742 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, yeah, but there's a lot of truth through that. Yeah. Sure, 1743 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:50,920 Speaker 6: there's a repetitive nature too. 1744 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,000 Speaker 8: Well, wait, all the draft happened, I know, but it's 1745 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,000 Speaker 8: cycles and all of a sudden somebody will sign somewhere 1746 01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 8: and then you'll never talk about them. 1747 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 3: I will say this, this year has been light years 1748 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 3: better than the last two in that regard, because we were. 1749 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 10: Talking about like since November. 1750 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,800 Speaker 3: We were talking about Will Campbell's arms from November on 1751 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 3: last year, and the year before that, we were talking 1752 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,680 Speaker 3: about Jayden Daniels and Drake May and JJ McCarthy had 1753 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 3: nauseum from November on. 1754 01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:20,280 Speaker 4: How long have we. 1755 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:21,479 Speaker 6: Take this over that? 1756 01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 4: How long have we been coveting AJ Brown? 1757 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:23,960 Speaker 3: Like? 1758 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,680 Speaker 4: And is there any other fan base. 1759 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,160 Speaker 8: That covers a wide receiver more than Patriots fans talk 1760 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 8: about a J. 1761 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Brown? 1762 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:35,759 Speaker 3: Larry Fitzgerald, that's a good one, counter right right. Someone 1763 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:39,920 Speaker 3: put out that that that meme today with a little 1764 01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:40,760 Speaker 3: little year. 1765 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 6: It was Kyler Murray Minnesota. 1766 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 4: The thing that's funny now, it's it's it's what we do. 1767 01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 4: I believe me. I I would love to see what 1768 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:51,800 Speaker 4: this show looks like. 1769 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 8: Where the Patriots have a number one wide receiver like 1770 01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 8: no joke, like that, we have Jamar. 1771 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 4: Chase on the team. 1772 01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,200 Speaker 8: And because I would say a great majority of call 1773 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,280 Speaker 8: somehow relate to finding a number one, why we can't 1774 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 8: find the number one. 1775 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:05,639 Speaker 2: Was a number seven? 1776 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 6: I tried to branch out a little bit. I brought 1777 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 6: up Brian Thomas and Romeo Dobbs. 1778 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 4: That's good, you're bringing new names to thank you. 1779 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,719 Speaker 2: For spicing it. Brian Thomas is a good pull Justin Wrightson. 1780 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 2: Let's say hypothetically we signed Pierce to a contract where 1781 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 2: he's on a three year deal making twenty eight million 1782 01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 2: a year, how much money would we have left over 1783 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 2: to try to get back guys like Tongo or Hawkins, 1784 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,120 Speaker 2: Alec Pierce or training for aj Brown. Feels like the 1785 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 2: only big move the Patriots will be able to make 1786 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 2: after that. I don't know how many guys they'd be 1787 01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:36,439 Speaker 2: able to sign a free agency. 1788 01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 9: Well, they have fifty seven million dollars in cap space 1789 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 9: after cutting digs and so if you're signing Al Pierce 1790 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 9: over a multiple year contract, if we're just going by 1791 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 9: the cap. Now, if you want to talk about the 1792 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,759 Speaker 9: whole Felger and maz Cash thing, then that's a totally 1793 01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 9: different argument. But if you're just talking about the cap, 1794 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,479 Speaker 9: they are more than fine. Especially if we're talking about 1795 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:55,799 Speaker 9: the Tongas and the Jalen Hawkins. 1796 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, are we considering those like big? Like, No, 1797 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,439 Speaker 3: You're gonna have no money to sign those guys, right, 1798 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,640 Speaker 3: Like we're talking about Gonzales, Right, you need money, Just 1799 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:07,600 Speaker 3: sign Gonzales. 1800 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 2: We didn't talk about Alex austen uportally not coming. 1801 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 4: It's not gonna come back. 1802 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:13,800 Speaker 10: I mean, he didn't play last I. 1803 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:14,599 Speaker 6: Didn't know about that. 1804 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 8: But it's funny though, I mean, I mean, tong has 1805 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 8: been on what three four teams? He signed a one 1806 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 8: year deal last year worth two point seven million, And 1807 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 8: I've had this conversation a couple times, like how are 1808 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,000 Speaker 8: we going to resign Tongue? And I'm like, he was 1809 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,680 Speaker 8: a good player, but I don't think that the two 1810 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,639 Speaker 8: down nose tackles, that's not a hard spot to find 1811 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:30,639 Speaker 8: to have them back. 1812 01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:34,719 Speaker 3: But even if we're double that, right, which he probably won't, 1813 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,600 Speaker 3: but even if he doubled that, like what are you 1814 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 3: talking about being precluded to make a move like that? 1815 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I agree that if they signed at Pearce, 1816 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 9: that's their big fish of the off season. They're not 1817 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 9: going to then go also signed Trey Hendrickson or something 1818 01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 9: like that. 1819 01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 6: Most likely those are big, big, big ticket like that. 1820 01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,719 Speaker 2: Like Paul said, you go in the cushions of your couch, 1821 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:54,639 Speaker 2: you can find the money. 1822 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I mean, come on, but I I it 1823 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 9: is a very very good nose tackle draft. 1824 01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,360 Speaker 10: It's just that nose tackles are back. 1825 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,439 Speaker 9: There's like five of them in the top fifty, and 1826 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 9: like it's like it's like nineteen eighty five.

Paul 1840 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,360 Speaker 2: and Evan slash Alex on Catch twenty two of asked, 1841 01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,120 Speaker 2: who cares how much they pay the player is successful? 1842 01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,840 Speaker 2: I agree, no one cares if the player hits. I 1843 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 2: think the concern is the opportunity cost. If we overpay 1844 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 2: for multiple free agents, does it reduce the number of 1845 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 2: shots we can take in our subsequent chances to find 1846 01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 2: a perfect fit. Just a thought. 1847 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 3: No, if it doesn't work, it hurts your team, But 1848 01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,800 Speaker 3: the next year comes around and you figure out how 1849 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 3: to deal with. 1850 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 4: The guy, you know, like it's always gonna be another 1851 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 4: Johnny Smith. 1852 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,559 Speaker 6: That was the exact name I was thinking of. 1853 01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:29,439 Speaker 3: You overpaid, didn't work, you move on like it didn't hurt, 1854 01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:34,320 Speaker 3: That didn't prevent them from doing anything. It just I 1855 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 3: I think this is a continuation of that. And I 1856 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,240 Speaker 3: kind of set my piece on it Tuesday, and I 1857 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 3: got some criticism for it. 1858 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 6: Like, I just don't understand why you'll criticize you just 1859 01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:46,280 Speaker 6: you know, on the t. 1860 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,960 Speaker 9: I just don't understand, like people that because all this 1861 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,679 Speaker 9: out peer stuff is going crazy on on Patriots Twitter. 1862 01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 9: So like people are like, I'm not paying him a 1863 01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 9: penny more than twenty eight million a year, Like what 1864 01:19:59,439 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 9: you can't? 1865 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,679 Speaker 6: And I'm like, so if it's a differences, perfectly fine. 1866 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 9: But if the difference between getting the player is paying 1867 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,519 Speaker 9: him thirty instead of twenty eight, you're just you're done 1868 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 9: at twenty eight like that two million dollars they really are, you. 1869 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 3: Know, not every player should be perceived to be the same. 1870 01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,080 Speaker 3: Like I might look at this guy differently than Mike 1871 01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:24,960 Speaker 3: looks at him, and that's fine. Like I would just 1872 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,639 Speaker 3: say that I understand. If you don't want to pay 1873 01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 3: Alec Pearce twenty eight million, then you don't want Alec Pierce, 1874 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 3: and that's okay. You don't have to want every guy 1875 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 3: that other people want. I think you'd be a good fit. 1876 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 3: Do I think that would be an overpay for Alec Pierce? 1877 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 2: Probably? 1878 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:42,559 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1879 01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 3: In free agency, you overpay, And I always fall back 1880 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 3: on my tried and true You know who else was 1881 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,120 Speaker 3: an overpay last year at this time, Milton Williams. They 1882 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 3: overpaid for a guy who had not done that in 1883 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 3: his career. And I don't think any Patriot fan would 1884 01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 3: sit back and say, I wish we didn't do that. 1885 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:04,919 Speaker 3: The only time the guy's a good player. Good players 1886 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 3: cost money. 1887 01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:08,519 Speaker 8: The only time I ever think about this money stuff 1888 01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,519 Speaker 8: is when it gets to who is getting paid way 1889 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,240 Speaker 8: more than they have performed and who was a cut candidate? 1890 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,240 Speaker 8: Like who can they what contracts can they get rid of? 1891 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,720 Speaker 8: It's not going to be a ton of a dead cap. 1892 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 1: And if they. 1893 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,800 Speaker 3: Couldn't do that, Mike, I'd be more on board. If 1894 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:26,160 Speaker 3: this was the NHL, I'd be much more cash conscious 1895 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,520 Speaker 3: because you can't just get out from under bad contracts. 1896 01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:30,080 Speaker 2: You know. 1897 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 3: You signed Matt Bileski to this free agent deal and 1898 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 3: it handcuffs you for years because you can't just cut 1899 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 3: him like you can cut him, but he's still counting 1900 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:39,840 Speaker 3: the same on the gap. 1901 01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:41,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if this was accurate, but they were 1902 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:46,080 Speaker 2: saying on Goods yesterday that the total that we were 1903 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 2: told the contract was was like in the sixty millions, 1904 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,720 Speaker 2: and he only got like twenty million of it, you know. 1905 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:57,200 Speaker 3: So it's like the only thing that you can come 1906 01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,200 Speaker 3: back at is like budget, but right budget. So like 1907 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,960 Speaker 3: when we were talking about when we were talking about 1908 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 3: earlier like if they sign out of Pears and brought 1909 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 3: Digs back for less money, Well, like, what's their budget 1910 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 3: for the wide receiver room that year? Because like, I 1911 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,640 Speaker 3: don't think that they can afford both those guys. It 1912 01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 3: based off of the budget. I don't know that. I'm 1913 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,160 Speaker 3: just saying, I'm assuming. 1914 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,839 Speaker 9: I'm guessing that they wouldn't do that, But like that's cash, 1915 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,640 Speaker 9: Like that's real cash spending. Yeah, in terms of like 1916 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,720 Speaker 9: how much do we have as a budget for the 1917 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:26,960 Speaker 9: team in twenty twenty six? 1918 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 2: Ben and Hershey, Pennsylvania. What And you know, we like 1919 01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 2: to answer all kinds of questions here, you know, like 1920 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 2: so people that aren't really into you know, the x's 1921 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 2: and o's, like Evan have a question, we want to 1922 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 2: field it. Okay, what actually makes someone a wide receiver? 1923 01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 1: One? 1924 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,760 Speaker 2: Is it where they line up, how many targets they get, 1925 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 2: the coverage they draw up, being a top ten, top twelve, 1926 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 2: top sixteen wide receiver in the NFL or just being 1927 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 2: the most talented receiver on the team. What's the real definition? 1928 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,559 Speaker 2: The most obvious Patriots wide receiver one was Randy Moss, 1929 01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 2: But what about Edelman, Gronk Branch. Where do you draw 1930 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 2: the line. If Diggs was drawing heavy coverage down the 1931 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 2: stretch last season and had a thousand receiving yards, was 1932 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,080 Speaker 2: he not worthy of the w R one label? Why not? 1933 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,799 Speaker 2: What was missing? So it's a that's an excellent question. 1934 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,040 Speaker 3: It's an excellent question. I would say he had it 1935 01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 3: right in a his first part. It would be my definition. 1936 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:19,840 Speaker 6: You guys might all have. 1937 01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 2: Like every team has I think a w R one, 1938 01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,360 Speaker 2: but it's relative to your team. 1939 01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 9: So every team that has a number one starter, but 1940 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:29,880 Speaker 9: not every team has an ACE, right right? 1941 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, Red Sox have an ace the other team Derek. 1942 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 2: One WR one or is he a player who? 1943 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:37,040 Speaker 14: Ye? 1944 01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 3: And I would say that is the weapon. Diggs was 1945 01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 3: their best receiver last year. I don't think he would 1946 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,759 Speaker 3: have been based on his season. Would have been WR 1947 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 3: one for a lot of other teams. Now there were 1948 01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,760 Speaker 3: I'm not saying no other teams. There would have been 1949 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:51,120 Speaker 3: plenty of teams that he would have been that. 1950 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 2: So now I think WR one came about through fantasy football. 1951 01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:56,360 Speaker 6: Right, there's no doubt. 1952 01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 2: And fantasy football is all about stats. So if you're 1953 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,560 Speaker 2: looking at it from the true origin of it, it 1954 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,200 Speaker 2: would be who has that? That's why I liked his explanation. 1955 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,120 Speaker 3: Is is it a guy who is the number one 1956 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,800 Speaker 3: guy that he like generates coverage, he dictates the other 1957 01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:15,720 Speaker 3: team's matchups, And that, to me is a true I 1958 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,880 Speaker 3: hate the WR one nonsense that that's a true number 1959 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 3: one receiver. Is a guy who the other team goes 1960 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 3: in and says, when we're talking about their passing game, 1961 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 3: that's the guy. 1962 01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 10: We have Tuesday players. 1963 01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, when they get into the game plan meeting on Tuesdays, 1964 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:31,599 Speaker 9: who's circled on the depth chart? 1965 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:32,479 Speaker 10: And I think. 1966 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 2: Diggs was that. 1967 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:34,760 Speaker 6: Diggs was that for the Patriots. 1968 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think, you know, like he's not Jefferson 1969 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:39,519 Speaker 3: or Chase or Well. 1970 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:40,639 Speaker 10: I think that those guys. 1971 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:40,840 Speaker 1: YEA. 1972 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,760 Speaker 2: The answer has to be the answer is who do 1973 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,600 Speaker 2: we take out? Has to be a tough answer to 1974 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 2: be a WR one. If it's an easy answer, he's 1975 01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:49,880 Speaker 2: not a true WR one. 1976 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,120 Speaker 9: I think the first part of the answer is a 1977 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,080 Speaker 9: coverage dictating receiver, somebody that's at the top of the 1978 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,240 Speaker 9: depth chart that we either have to put our number 1979 01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,639 Speaker 9: one corner on him, if we have a stud corner, 1980 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 9: we have to double them. 1981 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:00,880 Speaker 10: Whatever. 1982 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,080 Speaker 3: A true number one receiver, like a true star number 1983 01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,639 Speaker 3: one receiver beats the double team. I was just gonna say, 1984 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,600 Speaker 3: right like that, that's the definition is Yeah, that's the 1985 01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,759 Speaker 3: guy you identify, but you can't. 1986 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 6: Take him out. 1987 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,519 Speaker 2: It's a problems too good, right problem? 1988 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 3: Like I got a true number one receiver is JSN 1989 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 3: Pooka Nakua like a guy that just you can double them, 1990 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,680 Speaker 3: but Pokku is getting open and getting the ball. 1991 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 10: Anyway, Let's let's. 1992 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 8: Play a little game then, because I was wondering, like 1993 01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 8: how many actual number one receivers are there in the NFL. 1994 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,080 Speaker 6: And that's why I also liked his. 1995 01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,759 Speaker 3: You know, what do you say, like sixteen or seventeen, 1996 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:36,479 Speaker 3: because I would say probably half the league. 1997 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he's just asked. 1998 01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:38,880 Speaker 6: No I liked I liked his. 1999 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 9: That's why I think the different thing with Digs, Like 2000 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 9: Diggs is a number one receiver for the last year 2001 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 9: in my opinion, but he wasn't beating double teams anymore. 2002 01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, when they took him out. 2003 01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 3: He was out, whereas some of these other guys that 2004 01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:52,200 Speaker 3: do this is going to ratt along. 2005 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:54,639 Speaker 8: But just like so, just going in order of receptions 2006 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,600 Speaker 8: from last year, JSN and Puka top two, right, I 2007 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,360 Speaker 8: was number one, number one, George Pickens the number one one. 2008 01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,720 Speaker 6: I would say Cede Lamb is their number one. 2009 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:07,360 Speaker 8: Jamar Chase definitely, yes, Emon Ross, Saint Brown, Yes, Trey 2010 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 8: McBride is the. 2011 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 4: But they Flowers No, no, well. 2012 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:13,960 Speaker 2: Hold on Flowers. 2013 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 3: I was the number one receiver like Diggs is.

I don't hate the player, but something has 2086 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,080 Speaker 9: been off with him. Didn't have a great season at LSU, 2087 01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:33,560 Speaker 9: and then he kind of fell down the board a 2088 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:36,200 Speaker 9: little bit as we've moved on here, you know, going 2089 01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 9: into college football season last fall, like some people are 2090 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,680 Speaker 9: like Harold Perkins, top twenty player in this class, and 2091 01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 9: now we're looking at him as like a Day two pick. 2092 01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:47,600 Speaker 9: So put him in that group, you know him, Jacob Rodriguez. 2093 01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,200 Speaker 9: You know all those linebackers are kind of in that 2094 01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,639 Speaker 9: Day two cluster. He's in that group, wouldn't you say? 2095 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:53,040 Speaker 1: Though? 2096 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,160 Speaker 8: You know, when Bill's defense, it was hard to kind 2097 01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:58,519 Speaker 8: of pin that spot, like he wanted bigger dudes on 2098 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 8: the inside. And now it just feels like these guys 2099 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,600 Speaker 8: are more in play, Like I don't think built in 2100 01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,439 Speaker 8: one hundred years with draft Rodriguez, even though he's probably 2101 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 8: for special teams, but like, these guys can play in 2102 01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 8: this vable. 2103 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:09,920 Speaker 2: So Seth, what's your take on him? 2104 01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:14,120 Speaker 20: I mean, I really like him. Obviously, the freshman was 2105 01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:16,439 Speaker 20: considered a top ten pick, one of the top players 2106 01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 20: in the nation, and then tour the ACL and has 2107 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 20: had two down seasons, but he played the star position 2108 01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,000 Speaker 20: at LSU, so I think, you know, you can really 2109 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:24,599 Speaker 20: move him around. 2110 01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:25,320 Speaker 15: I think he's a freak. 2111 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 20: And then one more I just wanted to know about. 2112 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:32,479 Speaker 20: You saw Jeremy Bernard as like a younger Deebo Samuel. Yeah, 2113 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:33,599 Speaker 20: and then I'll take it off here. 2114 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:36,639 Speaker 9: Than Okay, thanks ch Yeah, I see him a little 2115 01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 9: bit different than Deebo. I think he's more of a 2116 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 9: complete receiver than Debo, but not not the ballcarrier that 2117 01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,920 Speaker 9: Debo was coming out. But yeah, he's smooth, like he 2118 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,000 Speaker 9: looks like he's like running around in it's effortless. Uh, 2119 01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:51,760 Speaker 9: really good change of direction, really good at the top 2120 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:56,040 Speaker 9: of the route, efficient mover. There's something about his play 2121 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:59,519 Speaker 9: strength and just sort of his physicality that's lacking. He's 2122 01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 9: the not have very good numbers on like contested targets, 2123 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:07,400 Speaker 9: finishing in traffic, finishing through contact, like all that kind 2124 01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,120 Speaker 9: of stuff that does matter in the league a lot 2125 01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,559 Speaker 9: more than it matters in college. So that's sort of 2126 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:14,839 Speaker 9: the knock on him. But I think he's trending towards 2127 01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:17,679 Speaker 9: fringe top fifty. Ye know, I'll be a second rounder 2128 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:18,080 Speaker 9: for sure. 2129 01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:20,679 Speaker 2: Tom and New Jersey is a quick would you rather 2130 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 2: gain ready? Would you rather wide receiver? Brandon Ayuk or 2131 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:27,160 Speaker 2: Juan Jennings. 2132 01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 4: Jan I think Brandon Ayuk's career is done? 2133 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:34,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Alex Pierce or A J. Brown, Alec Alec 2134 01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:38,960 Speaker 2: Pierce Now yeah, boy Mafe or kay Levon Chason. 2135 01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 6: I'm going to say, chase him because he was here 2136 01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:44,280 Speaker 6: and I know it worked. 2137 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 10: I'm with you. 2138 01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 2: I like Kobe Dean or Devin Lloyd, Devin Lloyd Isaiah 2139 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:51,120 Speaker 2: likely or. 2140 01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:53,800 Speaker 3: I like Nikobe Dean. I'm going to be okay, I 2141 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:59,720 Speaker 3: like I saw him who k probably Kate. 2142 01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:04,640 Speaker 6: I don't know out I'm not. I'm not enamored with 2143 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:05,360 Speaker 6: either one, but. 2144 01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,280 Speaker 2: Last two reguards left guards Isaac. 2145 01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:15,720 Speaker 9: Or Joe so Sue Malo's younger. Yeah, but Tonio is 2146 01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:17,760 Speaker 9: like a like a dig situation, like you're going to 2147 01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:19,240 Speaker 9: get him for a year, and that would. 2148 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,040 Speaker 6: Be my only question. I know both of those names, 2149 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:21,559 Speaker 6: I didn't know. 2150 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,080 Speaker 8: I mean, coming from San France, is that more like 2151 01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,320 Speaker 8: a wide zone kind of guys?

Yeah, he's been terrible. I 2161 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,200 Speaker 9: don't I have no idea why he's in this cluster 2162 01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 9: of playing. 2163 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,880 Speaker 3: You remember when like all of the Chargers offensive linemen 2164 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,479 Speaker 3: were hurt and Justin Herbert got killed last, Zion Johnson 2165 01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 3: was in there. 2166 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,200 Speaker 9: He was and he was the starter, like he was 2167 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,320 Speaker 9: the day one starter at that position and was a 2168 01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:07,639 Speaker 9: turnstile no offense. 2169 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 6: All right, huh not really. 2170 01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:14,080 Speaker 2: Danny's in Daytona.

I just for the Patriots. 2214 01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:08,719 Speaker 9: Unless you're kicking Morgan. 2215 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:12,479 Speaker 3: I was looking, well, I was not cooking kicking. I 2216 01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:14,040 Speaker 3: was kicking Campbell inside. 2217 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,839 Speaker 6: But now that's all a point because they're pretty adamant 2218 01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:17,719 Speaker 6: that that's not happening. 2219 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:18,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha. 2220 01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. No, like I said, if we were bringing maybe 2221 01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:22,599 Speaker 5: Walker on the right side, but no, if you were 2222 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,720 Speaker 5: going to just wap them for Campbell, I have no 2223 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,320 Speaker 5: interest in that.

Carlin Hurten made a really good point. A 2230 01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 5: lot of young teams have failed, you know, the main 2231 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,080 Speaker 5: cause while we see a lot of quarterbacks across the 2232 01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:49,240 Speaker 5: league have failed in the NFL is because they haven't 2233 01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 5: had the three successful kes. And you know what those 2234 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:57,080 Speaker 5: three p's are good play caller, good protection, and dynamic playmakers. 2235 01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:00,120 Speaker 5: If you don't have those three p's, you see the 2236 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 5: Patriots are the longest time when we had Mac Jones, 2237 01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,360 Speaker 5: we failed them. They didn't give him a good offense line. 2238 01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,760 Speaker 5: You guys talked about this during that time. Bill was 2239 01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:10,719 Speaker 5: reluctant on paying top receivers big money. He was stuck 2240 01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,800 Speaker 5: in the past, and then he kept trying to bring 2241 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:17,320 Speaker 5: his boys in people he knew he was reluctant and 2242 01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,559 Speaker 5: bringing good people into call plays besides Josh after Josh 2243 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:22,800 Speaker 5: took off, and you see a lot of teams have 2244 01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:25,680 Speaker 5: that same issue. They keep re kicking the can of 2245 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:29,240 Speaker 5: these old play callers or play callers who don't adapt 2246 01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:32,080 Speaker 5: to the game and then they don't get They may 2247 01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,360 Speaker 5: have one or two good playmakers, but I think if 2248 01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:37,240 Speaker 5: you look at the great teams like the LA Rams, 2249 01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 5: the Eagles, you feel the list goes on. The Kyle 2250 01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 5: Sanahans of the world. They have these dynamics. It's the scheme. 2251 01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:45,599 Speaker 5: They don't they don't. 2252 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,160 Speaker 9: Was one of the worst coordinated offenses in football, and 2253 01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 9: the guy got fired. 2254 01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:53,599 Speaker 5: I'm saying. I'm saying over collectively, when they had Kelly Moore, 2255 01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:56,559 Speaker 5: they were good. He saw once Keller Moore left, Keller 2256 01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,040 Speaker 5: Moore is the scheme guy, and calling hurt made that analogy. 2257 01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,000 Speaker 5: When you have Kyle Shanahan isn't just a good head coach, 2258 01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:04,960 Speaker 5: He's a scheme guy. Anybody you can plug just I mean, 2259 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,080 Speaker 5: you can take a jag and put him in the system. 2260 01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:09,360 Speaker 5: He can make it work because he knows how to 2261 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:12,880 Speaker 5: scheme people in and make it work. The only team 2262 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 5: he had really good struggle with major struggles. And he 2263 01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:19,000 Speaker 5: even came on the NBC broadcast he said was the Seahawks. 2264 01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,280 Speaker 5: He just couldn't crack McDonald's defense. 2265 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:22,000 Speaker 11: He could, he said. 2266 01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,120 Speaker 5: He admittedly on the broadcast a lot of people thought, oh, 2267 01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:27,040 Speaker 5: Kyle Shannan should go into badcast and if he good 2268 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,679 Speaker 5: stout coaching. He was like, man, I just couldn't crack 2269 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,479 Speaker 5: the Seahawks defense. But he's his scheme is just and 2270 01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 5: calor herd. Instead of sending he says the Shanahan's of 2271 01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:39,479 Speaker 5: the world and mcveigh's they have really good scheme and 2272 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:43,360 Speaker 5: you can take really good average Jack Blairs and plug 2273 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:45,639 Speaker 5: him in, or you can have elite players like Devontae 2274 01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,439 Speaker 5: Adams who they have and Puka Nukuga who's you know, 2275 01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:51,479 Speaker 5: are freaking all pros and you know, Pro Bowlers and 2276 01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,360 Speaker 5: stuff like that, and they make him look even better. So, 2277 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,200 Speaker 5: I mean, Patriots need to get back. We have we're 2278 01:37:57,240 --> 01:37:59,800 Speaker 5: putting together the play call, and I think Josh, I 2279 01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:02,360 Speaker 5: think they need to bring in a senior offensive guy 2280 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,080 Speaker 5: into kind of help him because he a. 2281 01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,160 Speaker 8: Senior offensive guy for a guy who's been an offensive 2282 01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,320 Speaker 8: coordinator for twenty five years in the league. 2283 01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:08,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2284 01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,920 Speaker 5: No, I think because he does because he kind of 2285 01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:13,680 Speaker 5: gets stuck in his ways. And the reason I say this, 2286 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:15,839 Speaker 5: it's it's not maybe he. 2287 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:16,679 Speaker 2: Is a junior guy. 2288 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 8: How much of it, though, Danny, do you think is 2289 01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 8: that Drake May was in his first year of the 2290 01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:24,960 Speaker 8: system and that Josh couldn't unleash everything that he knows 2291 01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:25,800 Speaker 8: onto that player. 2292 01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:26,920 Speaker 6: It's just unbelievable. 2293 01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:29,760 Speaker 5: Mike, you're right, but I leave you with this. I 2294 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:31,720 Speaker 5: leave no, I leave you with this. You need a 2295 01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,599 Speaker 5: reason you bring another voice, And I thought I wanted 2296 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,439 Speaker 5: him to bring in Greg Rohman was a terrible offense corner, 2297 01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:39,880 Speaker 5: but damn that guy can freaking like Colin hurts it. 2298 01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:42,720 Speaker 5: He can call. He knows run constips. And the one 2299 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,080 Speaker 5: reason that got him ran out of Baltimore's he didn't 2300 01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:48,160 Speaker 5: know how to scheme a pass. He couldn't scheme passing plays. 2301 01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:50,840 Speaker 5: He knows how to get dominant run game out of 2302 01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 5: quarterbacks and the running backs and moving the sight ends run. 2303 01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,479 Speaker 5: I think you bring in a guy that's still there 2304 01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,520 Speaker 5: to Greg Roman, that has a real good run game background, 2305 01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:01,559 Speaker 5: and you bring him into the building and say, hey, look, 2306 01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:03,840 Speaker 5: I want you to come up with run game concepts, 2307 01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:05,800 Speaker 5: not that I can't do it. I just want you 2308 01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,880 Speaker 5: to focus on calling run game concepts, and on game 2309 01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:11,000 Speaker 5: day we'll mix that in and we'll mix my play 2310 01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:13,439 Speaker 5: calling with the passing game, because obviously the run game 2311 01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 5: was the Patriots plague all year. I mean, you look 2312 01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:19,799 Speaker 5: at Travon Henderson, he looked like what's his name, uh, 2313 01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:24,000 Speaker 5: the guy from the Seahawks Walker. He's a one trick pony, 2314 01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:28,240 Speaker 5: but the only his only best quality was. 2315 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:36,760 Speaker 3: Was all And I believe I disagree with a no. No, 2316 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:38,720 Speaker 3: I don't just necessarily I just don't even know so 2317 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:40,400 Speaker 3: where we have an issue at play caller. And I 2318 01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,840 Speaker 3: don't say he didn't have a run opinion. I'm just 2319 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:48,200 Speaker 3: saying I disagree with I'm seriously disaster. I I thought 2320 01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,320 Speaker 3: about what you just said, though, Deuce a little bit. 2321 01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,680 Speaker 3: Just like by the end of the season, you know, 2322 01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:57,160 Speaker 3: you're watching the Patriots offense, and you're watching it and 2323 01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,280 Speaker 3: like there's just a lot of repeat plays, right, Like 2324 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:01,360 Speaker 3: they're just kind of in the same buttons over and 2325 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 3: over again. And you know, great play callers, especially guys 2326 01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:06,240 Speaker 3: that have two weeks to prepare for something like the 2327 01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,400 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, they're going to sort of fit pick up 2328 01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:11,520 Speaker 3: on these tendencies and figure out what your core concepts 2329 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,080 Speaker 3: are and all that kind of stuff. And it did 2330 01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 3: not maybe because you know, of what you were talking 2331 01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,840 Speaker 3: to me about, Like how much was it that they 2332 01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 3: just had a bunch of young guys out there then 2333 01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:23,559 Speaker 3: they just couldn't open up the playbooks, so to speak, 2334 01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:25,360 Speaker 3: in the way that maybe they can move in. 2335 01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:26,800 Speaker 1: No. 2336 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,480 Speaker 10: No, I mean I haven't really talking about the quarterbacks. 2337 01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:32,519 Speaker 8: Yeah, because we talk about going into this season, was 2338 01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:34,800 Speaker 8: that now it's all going to be on Drake. Drake's 2339 01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:36,519 Speaker 8: gonna have to make the calls of the line. Drake's 2340 01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:38,720 Speaker 8: gonna have to call the protections out. Do you think 2341 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:40,840 Speaker 8: that Mike McDonald's screwed with that a little bit and 2342 01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:42,760 Speaker 8: was able to get him on some things and get 2343 01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 8: him in his own head a little bit. 2344 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:45,080 Speaker 10: Yes, Yeah. 2345 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:49,640 Speaker 3: I thought the offense had a tremendous season, from the 2346 01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 3: play caller to the performance of the players on the field. 2347 01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 3: I thought they maximized what they had, Like the whole 2348 01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:00,439 Speaker 3: thing started with Quarterbacks get failed when they don't have 2349 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,200 Speaker 3: basically everything at an elite level, right right, Well, I 2350 01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:06,800 Speaker 3: don't really need a quarterback then, Like if I have 2351 01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:10,439 Speaker 3: like great players at every level and I have great 2352 01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:14,360 Speaker 3: play callers, like I need the quarterback to be able 2353 01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:15,960 Speaker 3: to do a little bit more than that for the 2354 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:19,240 Speaker 3: most part, because there's no real perfect situations. 2355 01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,320 Speaker 9: In the run game stuff like last season is the 2356 01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:24,120 Speaker 9: outlier for Josh McDaniels. McDaniels has always had a really 2357 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,960 Speaker 9: good running game statistically, and so has Rabel. I mean, 2358 01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:28,240 Speaker 9: obviously Derek Henry. 2359 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,040 Speaker 3: That's the last thing I want, by the way, But 2360 01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,719 Speaker 3: I think last year was you know, even in Vegas 2361 01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,200 Speaker 3: when with Josh Jacobs led the league in rushing in 2362 01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:38,679 Speaker 3: McDaniels is only full year in Vega. 2363 01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,840 Speaker 2: From a mental standpoint, was last year a wasted year 2364 01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:43,320 Speaker 2: for Drake May. 2365 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:44,679 Speaker 10: A wasted year? 2366 01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:46,599 Speaker 6: No, just the opposit. 2367 01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 2: I don't mean when I say last year, I mean 2368 01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:50,559 Speaker 2: his first year, his rookie year. 2369 01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:53,920 Speaker 8: No, No, No, But I think he's it's a lot 2370 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,400 Speaker 8: more about twenty twenty five now and going forward to 2371 01:41:56,439 --> 01:41:58,800 Speaker 8: being in this offense using that as well. 2372 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:02,200 Speaker 2: Like, I think he worked on a lot of you know, 2373 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:07,320 Speaker 2: fundamental things I see learned about. Was there anything that 2374 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,080 Speaker 2: he could have taken mentally from four and applied it 2375 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:11,920 Speaker 2: to five? Or was he starting over? 2376 01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:12,400 Speaker 3: Sure? 2377 01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,679 Speaker 8: No, I mean I know what you're saying, different scheme, 2378 01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,000 Speaker 8: but just being in an NFL game and understanding the 2379 01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 8: flow of the game and. 2380 01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:20,800 Speaker 4: You know what's going to be required of you and 2381 01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:21,800 Speaker 4: how hard it is to win. 2382 01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,720 Speaker 8: But I get what you're saying Fred about, like, you know, 2383 01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,280 Speaker 8: did he schematically learn things playbook wise? 2384 01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:27,920 Speaker 4: I mean probably a little bit. I mean you're still 2385 01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 4: throwing similar concepts. 2386 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 6: We'll just take it a step further. 2387 01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,320 Speaker 3: Let's just say, for argument's sake, hypothetical happens and Josh 2388 01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:37,280 Speaker 3: McDaniels needs to resign tomorrow and they need to bring 2389 01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:41,200 Speaker 3: in some guy who not not Ashton Grant or. 2390 01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,160 Speaker 6: Todd Downing or Thomas Brown. Thomas Brown. 2391 01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,080 Speaker 3: That you have to go outside and someone comes in 2392 01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:48,080 Speaker 3: and has a completely different offense? Was last year a 2393 01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:50,160 Speaker 3: waste for Drake may Well? 2394 01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,520 Speaker 2: But what if it taught him how to read defenses? 2395 01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:52,920 Speaker 1: Right? 2396 01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:54,919 Speaker 6: You don't think you got taught how to read defenses 2397 01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:55,479 Speaker 6: the year before. 2398 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:56,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. 2399 01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:58,400 Speaker 6: Is this another one of those things that guy's not 2400 01:42:58,439 --> 01:42:59,560 Speaker 6: here anymore? So now he was? 2401 01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,000 Speaker 2: I tell you, I thought last year, like the whole 2402 01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,240 Speaker 2: calling at the line was not last year. I keep 2403 01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:08,560 Speaker 2: saying last year four. It wasn't his responsibility to make it. 2404 01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:12,040 Speaker 3: It was different his responsibility. But the guy who comes 2405 01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:15,479 Speaker 3: in next year, like in this hypothetical might not ask 2406 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 3: him to. 2407 01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:16,320 Speaker 6: Do that either. 2408 01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:19,160 Speaker 2: I know, but I'm just saying, but he learned about it, 2409 01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:22,360 Speaker 2: did he? How do you not learn in oh four 2410 01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:24,679 Speaker 2: making calls at the line is no. 2411 01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:27,120 Speaker 6: No, no, no, You learn how to play the game. 2412 01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:32,280 Speaker 3: I don't care what you do playa facing defense. 2413 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:38,880 Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, I think in twenty twenty four there was a. 2414 01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:41,959 Speaker 9: Lot less on him mentally, both at the line of scrimmage, 2415 01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:43,920 Speaker 9: and also post snap because they had a lot more 2416 01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:46,400 Speaker 9: preer progression reads in that offense and not as much 2417 01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,200 Speaker 9: coverage reads. So I think in a lot of ways, 2418 01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:52,800 Speaker 9: Josh mcdaniels's offense was a step up from maybe like 2419 01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 9: graduate level to like PhD, you know, or doctorate level 2420 01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 9: of offense. But I don't think that that necessarily means 2421 01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:02,960 Speaker 9: that you didn't learn anything in twenty four. It's just 2422 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,879 Speaker 9: a different level of different style of offense. 2423 01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:08,400 Speaker 3: I would hope anyway, if he didn't, if he didn't 2424 01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,439 Speaker 3: gain experience and learn something from it, that's a bad sign. 2425 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:12,920 Speaker 10: Now, I think he definitely did. 2426 01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:17,360 Speaker 2: Adam and Louisiana says Evan is wrong. Oh, Harrold Perkins 2427 01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:20,000 Speaker 2: is not a good coverage player. I graduated from LSU 2428 01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,759 Speaker 2: and watch every LSU football game. He moved from an 2429 01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,679 Speaker 2: on the line player as a freshman to an off 2430 01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:28,559 Speaker 2: ball linebacker because he's too small for edge. He has 2431 01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,280 Speaker 2: looked completely out of place at linebacker. He's no instincts 2432 01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:33,760 Speaker 2: for coverage and isn't great against the run. His best 2433 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,680 Speaker 2: position as being a QB spy. 2434 01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:41,240 Speaker 6: Interesting, Okay, that's it. 2435 01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're gonna you're gonna. 2436 01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:45,599 Speaker 10: Like if he has an opinion. He has an opinion. 2437 01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:49,720 Speaker 3: Okay, along every game along those lines, I had a 2438 01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:51,800 Speaker 3: lot of people watch every game. I don't know if 2439 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:54,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if you caught this, but late last 2440 01:44:55,000 --> 01:45:00,559 Speaker 3: week there was a little Twitter thing where some guy 2441 01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:02,040 Speaker 3: was in an argument on Twitter. 2442 01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,360 Speaker 6: What saying that happens? 2443 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:09,679 Speaker 3: This has been Christian Watson's whole m o. He does this, 2444 01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:11,760 Speaker 3: this and this, and he's always hurt and he was 2445 01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,840 Speaker 3: a one trick pony in college. I've watched every game 2446 01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:19,720 Speaker 3: that he's played. And he was arguing with Christian Watson's 2447 01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:25,559 Speaker 3: father on Twitter. He goes, well, actually, I'm Christian Watson's 2448 01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:29,080 Speaker 3: dad and I've seen every game he's played at every level, 2449 01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:31,640 Speaker 3: and you don't know what you're saying. 2450 01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,120 Speaker 4: I hope he didn't back down. He's like, yeah, all 2451 01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:36,839 Speaker 4: due respect. 2452 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:39,799 Speaker 2: I still think, Paul, is that what you call being ratio? 2453 01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:43,040 Speaker 6: If you say so, I don't know that term. 2454 01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:45,559 Speaker 2: They don't use that anymore on Twitter. 2455 01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:51,559 Speaker 3: Ratio ratio. I've never heard that yet. That doesn't mean it's. 2456 01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,519 Speaker 9: Being ratio means that there's more replies to your tweet 2457 01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:56,960 Speaker 9: than there are likes on your tweet. So like when 2458 01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,599 Speaker 9: you have a really bad take and you get ratio. 2459 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,000 Speaker 9: That means that your applies or outnumber the people that 2460 01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:05,720 Speaker 9: agree with you, because a like is usually seen as 2461 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:07,719 Speaker 9: like an endorsement, like that good take. 2462 01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:09,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been about it. 2463 01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:12,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll bet you falls into that category. 2464 01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:13,960 Speaker 2: I don't even know why he posts anything. 2465 01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:18,520 Speaker 10: I mean, immediately a pious. 2466 01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:21,680 Speaker 4: I feel like Benvolan's purposely Yeah, I think you are 2467 01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:22,920 Speaker 4: just he's. 2468 01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, just like Paul Shows, just poking. 2469 01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:29,760 Speaker 3: You guys make fun of me because I'm always being 2470 01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,960 Speaker 3: critical and now you guys are beating up on poor Ben. 2471 01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:39,000 Speaker 2: Let's see Adam in California. What's up Adam? 2472 01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:40,679 Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going? Guys? 2473 01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:41,559 Speaker 2: Okay everything. 2474 01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:43,519 Speaker 11: I watched the show every every week. I just wanted 2475 01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:45,120 Speaker 11: to give my quick take when it comes to a. 2476 01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:50,080 Speaker 6: I'll give me one second, all right, We'll take your time. 2477 01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:51,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, we we have all day. 2478 01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:53,600 Speaker 6: Get back to us. 2479 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:56,639 Speaker 11: When Yeah, a lot of people are talking about Alec Pears. 2480 01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:58,400 Speaker 18: He's a great player, but. 2481 01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,120 Speaker 11: Honestly, I just don't see him in that level. And 2482 01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:05,080 Speaker 11: if aj Brown would be out, like why not, if 2483 01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,439 Speaker 11: you're going to shoot for the stars, why not give 2484 01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 11: Minnesota a call? I know it sounds crazy. 2485 01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:13,840 Speaker 22: But when you look at Minnesota's position, they're literally like. 2486 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:15,240 Speaker 11: Fifty million over the cast base. 2487 01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:18,559 Speaker 22: They have no quarterback Justin Jefferson. It's been like two 2488 01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,720 Speaker 22: years already that he's been like frustrated. So and you 2489 01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,840 Speaker 22: see Minnesota selling pieces, So why not give him a 2490 01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,920 Speaker 22: call and see hypothetically a what would it take to 2491 01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:29,479 Speaker 22: get Justin Jefferson that you guys? 2492 01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:32,599 Speaker 9: Okay, I think that those types of calls happen every year. 2493 01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,640 Speaker 9: It's worth a call, and they say it's either a 2494 01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,559 Speaker 9: straight click he does they are nothing or are you here? Well, 2495 01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 9: if you're willing to trade us four first round picks 2496 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:42,400 Speaker 9: or whatever the maximum is, then. 2497 01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,599 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well, no one wants to give a first 2498 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:46,320 Speaker 3: round pick? 2499 01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:47,680 Speaker 2: And what is it? 2500 01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:50,360 Speaker 3: What is Philadelphia looking for? Supposed to be a one 2501 01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:53,960 Speaker 3: into three in a player? Yeah, I heard one player, 2502 01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:55,560 Speaker 3: one in two in a player? No one wants to 2503 01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:57,479 Speaker 3: give that for a J Brown? What do you think 2504 01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:58,799 Speaker 3: Minnesota would accept? 2505 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:00,519 Speaker 2: Get to deal a one. 2506 01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:03,880 Speaker 4: One one probably and a player You're probably right? 2507 01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:04,439 Speaker 6: Three ones? 2508 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:06,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sounds right. 2509 01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:09,040 Speaker 8: But I do it just to uh yeah, avoid having 2510 01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:10,120 Speaker 8: to talk about it anymore. 2511 01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:11,479 Speaker 6: It's worth a call. 2512 01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:12,360 Speaker 4: We got a number one? 2513 01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:16,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, no in Toronto. I don't get why Paul and 2514 01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,160 Speaker 2: Evan have such a hard time understanding why fans felt 2515 01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:21,880 Speaker 2: like digs twenty million cap hit was too high. It's 2516 01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:23,160 Speaker 2: about opportunity cost. 2517 01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:24,240 Speaker 6: Cop hit was twenty six. 2518 01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:27,599 Speaker 2: When someone says that Saint Kim's twenty million is too large, 2519 01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:31,440 Speaker 2: they're implicitly saying that they like to spend those resources elsewhere. 2520 01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,280 Speaker 2: Of course, cap numbers can be manipulated to a large extent, 2521 01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:36,360 Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, Craft cannot put 2522 01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:39,759 Speaker 2: infinite resources into the roster. Would you rather have Digs 2523 01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:43,880 Speaker 2: to say Jalen Phillips, Paul, don't say both. At some 2524 01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:46,080 Speaker 2: point there's a limit on the amount of resources the 2525 01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:47,880 Speaker 2: team is willing to spend on the roster. If you 2526 01:48:47,880 --> 01:48:50,240 Speaker 2: want Digs and Phillips, then there has to be a 2527 01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:52,840 Speaker 2: cut made somewhere else. I have repeated that. 2528 01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,360 Speaker 9: I have repeated that point for three weeks, so I 2529 01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:58,560 Speaker 9: don't really like so Yes, that's the other side of 2530 01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:00,439 Speaker 9: the argument is opportunity costs. 2531 01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:00,959 Speaker 10: Absolutely. 2532 01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:03,280 Speaker 3: I'll take Jalen Phillips, but I need to know what 2533 01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:08,360 Speaker 3: you're doing a wide receiver who's Digs's replacement. See the 2534 01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:11,320 Speaker 3: thing that I push back on is. Everybody says, I 2535 01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:17,240 Speaker 3: don't want to pay Stefan Digs twenty million dollars this year. Okay, 2536 01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:20,479 Speaker 3: well you have to pay somebody something to replace Steffan Diggs. 2537 01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,439 Speaker 3: What is that going to be? That's what my comparison is. 2538 01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,920 Speaker 3: My comparison isn't what the best edge rusher available on 2539 01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:31,120 Speaker 3: the market. My comparison is, I'm going to now have 2540 01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:36,439 Speaker 3: Darnell Mooney playing my volume wide receiver instead OF's fond 2541 01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:39,040 Speaker 3: Steffan Diggs. And it's going to cost me thirteen million 2542 01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:40,960 Speaker 3: for Mooney, it would have cost me twenty.

I mean, it's 2551 01:49:59,880 --> 01:50:02,599 Speaker 4: just it's you know, but I guess everybody enjoyed to. 2552 01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:03,719 Speaker 2: Treat contracts like hippo. 2553 01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:04,439 Speaker 6: Tom Brady. 2554 01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:08,040 Speaker 3: This is all This is all Tom Brady's fault because 2555 01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:12,320 Speaker 3: Tom Brady won at an exceptionally high level for an 2556 01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:14,800 Speaker 3: exceptionally long period of time, and it didn't matter who 2557 01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:17,040 Speaker 3: the pieces were, so you could fit them in with 2558 01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:20,160 Speaker 3: the cheapest ones that you could get. The problem is 2559 01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,080 Speaker 3: not everybody's Tom Brady, and it doesn't work like that 2560 01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:24,120 Speaker 3: for most teams. 2561 01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,320 Speaker 9: I do think that this in a way the organization 2562 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 9: has learned that in the last five ors. 2563 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,760 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt they changed. 2564 01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:36,559 Speaker 9: Because I think that the way that they've been willing 2565 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,599 Speaker 9: to go to the top of the market at wide 2566 01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:42,240 Speaker 9: receiver really since Elliot Wolf started making decisions around here. 2567 01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:43,559 Speaker 10: Now, they haven't always landed. 2568 01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:45,120 Speaker 6: They haven't landed, but they're trying. 2569 01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:48,360 Speaker 9: But they've been trying all every single offseason since Elliott 2570 01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:49,680 Speaker 9: Wolf took more power. 2571 01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:52,439 Speaker 3: Last year one hundred and seventy five million in guaranteed money, 2572 01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:53,799 Speaker 3: they said, in free agency. 2573 01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:54,920 Speaker 6: That's a lot of money. 2574 01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,759 Speaker 8: That's that's what's exciting to me about this little pocket 2575 01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,439 Speaker 8: and time of Like you said that, that's what I've 2576 01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:01,439 Speaker 8: been thinking about. They've been in on all these guys, 2577 01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:03,400 Speaker 8: I mean Calvin Ridley's and the Brendan and I I mean, 2578 01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:05,679 Speaker 8: they take swings at all these guys. I'm sure they're 2579 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:07,439 Speaker 8: taking a swing on every single one of these guys, 2580 01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:11,679 Speaker 8: Jacket and Abba. For the love of God, does anyone 2581 01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:14,640 Speaker 8: remember how the Seahawks trash the Patriots offensive line in 2582 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,120 Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. This talk that wide receivers should be 2583 01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,080 Speaker 8: the patriots number one offseason. 2584 01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:19,880 Speaker 2: Priority is madness. 2585 01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:20,559 Speaker 10: Why not both? 2586 01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:23,840 Speaker 2: The number one offseason priority is offensive line and the 2587 01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:26,439 Speaker 2: Patriots need at least two new players to fix it. 2588 01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:29,679 Speaker 6: So here, I don't think you're wrong. 2589 01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 3: I think the offensive line struggled, Okay, might they not 2590 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:36,200 Speaker 3: have struggled as much if the wide receivers were better? 2591 01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:40,559 Speaker 2: Right, It's all, It's all one thing. 2592 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:42,160 Speaker 6: You know, did Drake hold the ball a little bit? 2593 01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:43,840 Speaker 6: What did you look sure of himself? 2594 01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:45,760 Speaker 4: Might they look better if Drake knew it was coming? 2595 01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:48,200 Speaker 3: And maybe if Drake played better, the offensive line would 2596 01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:51,200 Speaker 3: have looked better. Maybe if the receivers uncovered quicker, Drake 2597 01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:53,080 Speaker 3: would have played better in the offensive line would have 2598 01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:53,479 Speaker 3: looked better. 2599 01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:55,760 Speaker 10: I just I don't know why. It's not both, it's 2600 01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:56,519 Speaker 10: it's everything. 2601 01:51:57,160 --> 01:51:59,240 Speaker 2: But if you have to pick on top, you know. 2602 01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:00,479 Speaker 10: But why do I have to pick a top? 2603 01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:01,360 Speaker 2: Because he asked you? 2604 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:01,840 Speaker 6: Okay? 2605 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,639 Speaker 3: But if I had to pick a top wide receiver, right, 2606 01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,959 Speaker 3: exactly like every offensive line says. 2607 01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:09,479 Speaker 2: You can't have one. 2608 01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:13,160 Speaker 3: Because every single time I asked Mike Rabel, Elliott Wolf, 2609 01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:15,320 Speaker 3: what what are your needs this offseason? 2610 01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:17,120 Speaker 10: Depth across the roster. 2611 01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,080 Speaker 2: It's never that. 2612 01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:23,200 Speaker 3: No, No, they they did they afterwards they'd said playmaker's 2613 01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:26,960 Speaker 3: offensive line edge. But they're just saying, like, don't lose 2614 01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:29,120 Speaker 3: sight of the fact that we need to improve the 2615 01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:32,040 Speaker 3: whole thing. So like when people say, you know, why 2616 01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:34,880 Speaker 3: are we prioritizing offensive line over wide receiver, they're not. 2617 01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:37,439 Speaker 3: They're they're trying to get better at both areas and 2618 01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:38,439 Speaker 3: that's possible. 2619 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,960 Speaker 2: But he didn say what they're doing. He just wants 2620 01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:42,879 Speaker 2: to know what should be the priority. 2621 01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:46,360 Speaker 3: My pick is wide receiver. Yeah, if I can only 2622 01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:49,639 Speaker 3: say one thing, that would be my choice. I spent 2623 01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,840 Speaker 3: the whole year and everybody telling me how much better 2624 01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:55,080 Speaker 3: the offensive line was, and then they had a horrific 2625 01:52:55,360 --> 01:52:57,599 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, and I'm going to overreact to that. Now, 2626 01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:01,639 Speaker 3: according to you, not me, the offensive line is mid. Sure, 2627 01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:04,280 Speaker 3: but it was I was told it was a lot 2628 01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,240 Speaker 3: better than where I was told all year that it 2629 01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:08,559 Speaker 3: wasn't an issue, wasn't mid in at So now all 2630 01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,479 Speaker 3: of a sudden, all these people like we have to 2631 01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:13,680 Speaker 3: get at least two new offensive linemen. Right, He's not. 2632 01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,720 Speaker 3: He's not an outliar that the emailer but a lot 2633 01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:17,439 Speaker 3: of people believe. 2634 01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:19,719 Speaker 8: But in our defense, the only positions we're really talking 2635 01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:22,360 Speaker 8: about this offseason our edge wide receiver and offense. 2636 01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:25,160 Speaker 2: Unless Moses retires. I think you need one new You. 2637 01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:27,160 Speaker 4: Need a left guard and need the left guard Evans thing. 2638 01:53:27,200 --> 01:53:29,160 Speaker 4: I'm a rubber stamped at one hundred percent. I would 2639 01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:29,479 Speaker 4: love it. 2640 01:53:29,479 --> 01:53:32,320 Speaker 8: I would just love, you know, the David ed Edwards signing.

We're 2646 01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:45,400 Speaker 3: not asking you to pay him thirty million dollars a year. 2647 01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:47,479 Speaker 3: Go give David Edwards nineteen. 2648 01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:50,519 Speaker 2: I would do you even have to do you even 2649 01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:52,360 Speaker 2: have to go to the top of the list.
