1 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman podcast. And I know 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: this isn't a Dallas Cowboys podcast, but it's an NFL podcast. 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: And Jerry has done it again. He shocked the world 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: with insanity. They have traded Micah Parsons to the Green 5 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: Bay Packers for Kenny Clark in two first round picks 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: on top of the Green Bay Packers giving Micah Parsons 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: a four year, one hundred and eighty eight million dollar 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: deal with a one hundred and thirty six million guaranteed. 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: Those are the details that Schefter tweeted out, so usually 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: you can trust those, but it looks like forty seven 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: million per year for Micah Parsons going to Green Bay, 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: which changes the dynamic of that team drastically, throws them 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: deep into the contender conversation. One of their huge weaknesses 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: was just getting to the passer and being consistent on defense. 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: And they got a game wrecker in MICHAEH. Parsons, a 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: four time Pro bowler, a three time All Pro, and 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: it leaves the Dallas Cowboys with a head scratching pass 18 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: rush and they didn't have a great pass rush last year. 19 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons Vissu's four games, still ends up with twelve 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: sacks seventy five pressures. And now you say, hey, we 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: got two first round picks. That doesn't help you. Now 22 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: you have your franchise quarterback. Now the window is just closing, slowly, slowly, slowly, 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: but surely closing on every team, every team that has 24 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: their quarterback right now, the window is on its way 25 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: closed because they get older and older. And there's so 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: much that I don't understand about this. But the biggest 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: part I don't understand is you paid Dak Prescott sixty 28 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: million dollars when you didn't have to pay sixty million dollars. 29 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: The going rate the top of the market was fifty 30 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: five million at the time, and you said, hey, you 31 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: know what, we care and love Dak so much. We're 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: gonna go five million per year over above the highest 33 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: paid quarterback in the National Football League because that's how 34 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: much we care about our quarterback. Okay, it's your world. 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: You do that, Jerry. You pay c d Lamb top 36 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: of the market. Okay, you do that, Jerry. You pay 37 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: Trey Diggs top of the market at a time, Okay, 38 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: you do that, Jerry. But when it comes to the 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: four time pro bowler, the All pro, no off the 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: field problems. You say, ah, we don't want to do that, 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: we don't want to pay top of the market. You 42 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: could have got when when Nicholas John Bosa got paid. 43 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: They could have gotten Micah Parsons at thirty four maybe 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars per year, and he would have 45 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: been happy, everybody would have been happy. He would still 46 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: be making that maybe maybe they'd be arguing that he 47 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: should be up for an extension or something now, but 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: you'd have him and he would have gotten paid and 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: everybody's happy, and you got him for an affordable rate. 50 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: You would have saved ten million dollars a year going forward, 51 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: so maybe you would have had a little bit extra 52 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: for an extension. But you wait until the last year 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: of his contract, and the salary cap has jumped I 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: don't know, thirty forty million dollars since then, so of 55 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: course the number four defensive end at the top paid 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: nine quarterback is gonna be higher. And you say, you 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: go into public and you call him somebody else's name, 58 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: you call him Michael Parsons, like, I can't even quantify 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the level of disrespect that is, I can't even quantify 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: that to not only just be a guy on your team, 61 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: but to be one of your best players. And you 62 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: not even know my name, and that you know my name, 63 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: and that you go into a press conference and call 64 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: me somebody else's name, like, my goodness, I can't and 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: I understand Jerry's older, but that's that, Oh, that's an 66 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: unforgivable mistake. You can't do it, and that's what that's 67 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: the disrespect. He took it as and that's what everybody saw. 68 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: Then to double down on it, talk about how the 69 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: games he missed, he missed five games in his career 70 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: for your team, five games. He eats the league in 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: QB pressures, in speed of pressure. Since he's came in 72 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, he's made four Pro Bowls. No arrests, 73 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: no off the field issues, nothing, For all intents and purposes, 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: he's been a consummate professional in every since the imagination. 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: He's what you look for in a pro productive, the great, 76 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: consistent leader, competitive, you got it cool. And you say 77 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: we don't want to pay him or you don't want 78 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: to do a deal with his agent, then you make 79 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: up things that that you say his agent said, I 80 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: mean all these things were digging a hole deeper and 81 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: deeper and deeper for Jerry Jones, and you knew that. Hey, 82 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: it's getting to the point. Micah Parsons is not going 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: to play for the Dallas Cowboys. He could play this 84 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: game with you guys as long as he wanted to. 85 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: He could have faked the back injury as long as 86 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: he wanted to. I rolled my ankle at going out 87 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: there rehabbing. I can't. I gotta keep go on. And 88 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: you you would have had to pay him. This is 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 1: all because of you, Jerry. Now you're already porous defense. 90 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: They they struggled last year. You didn't get a ton 91 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: of pieces to to improve that. Now. Will health help 92 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: health and a secondary help that sum, Yeah, no question 93 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: about it. You get you get healthier in the secondary. 94 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Hopefully Trey Diggs is healthy. Hopefully you get your guys back. 95 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: But to lose arguably a top ten player overall in 96 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: the National Football League on that defense that wasn't ranked 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: very high and and really without him on the field, 98 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: the EPA for your defense is among the worst in 99 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: the league. It's a head scratching move for a team 100 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: that that prides itself on being contenders, an owner that 101 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: prides itself on being in the mix and having a 102 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: winning team and all that, like, this does not get 103 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: you closer to that. This doesn't get you closer to 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: a super Bowl. This is if this gets the Green 105 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: Bay Cockers closer to the Super Bowl, no question about it, 106 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: no question about it. They have their holes, they have 107 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: their weaknesses. They're not a perfect team by any stretch 108 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: of imagination. But they are closer today to being contenders 109 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: and contending for a Super Bowl than they were yesterday. 110 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: And I understand two first rounders and the forty million dollars. 111 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: They're super young team. You got a young quarterback, you 112 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: got young receivers, you got a young defense. You don't 113 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of high, high number guys. And sure 114 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: they'll have to make some adjustments in the future and 115 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: and and rearrange some things, but they're showing their team, Hey, 116 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: we're serious about winning. We're serious right now, we want 117 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: to win right now. We think we got a good 118 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: enough team, and we're going to show you guys we're 119 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: serious now and in the future about winning. What message 120 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: is this sending to the Dallas Cowboys. Micah was beloved 121 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: in that locker room bias teammates by your best guys 122 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: by Dak Prescott, by by CD Lamb, by Trey Diggs. 123 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: So you're sending away one of your most impactful players, 124 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: your most beloved players. Fans loved him. The only thing 125 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: that could could remedy this for Jerry Jones, his winning 126 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: and I nothing about what has happened, says Oh, this 127 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: team is gonna be primed to make a run to 128 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year. If they do, color me surprised. 129 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: Color me surprised. I don't know football as much as 130 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: I think I do. I think they have enough offensively 131 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: to compete with anybody. I think George Pickens is a 132 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: great addition. I think that dolphensive line. Obviously they lose guiding, 133 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: but I think they're talented enough to make a run. 134 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: But defensively they have a lot of question marks. They 135 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: did not play well last year with or without Michael Parsons, 136 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: but going into the season without him just did not 137 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: seem like a I mean any stretch of imagination anybody 138 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: would have fathomed they would be going in without Michael 139 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: Parsons to start Week one, and they're gonna play the 140 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers so he's gonna have his revenge game 141 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: very early on. I expect him to have to create 142 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,119 Speaker 1: chaos for the Dallas Boys and have another great Pro Bowl, 143 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: All Pro season. So, long story short, I don't get it. 144 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: I do not understand Jerry Jones or the lodge behind this. 145 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: Everybody understands first round draft picks are what they were 146 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: are you've drafted well cool. I understand that Kenny Clark, 147 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: solid guy, you know, impactful guy. He's gonna he's gonna 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: help your defensive line. But he's not gonna help and 149 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: take three three offensive linemen to block him each and 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: every play. He's not gonna have the effort. He's not 151 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: gonna have the production that Michael Parsons does. If he does, 152 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: then that'd be a huge addition to the Dallas Cowboys. 153 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: But I just don't feel like they won this trade. 154 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: I don't feel like they won this as a team 155 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: trying to compete for a championship this year, as a 156 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: team who's already paid their franchise quarterbacks sixty million dollars. 157 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: They paid him sixty million dollars in Still to this day, 158 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: there's not a quarterback within five million dollars ap wy 159 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott. Like that's that's how crazy that deal was. 160 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: Like he did it last year and there's still not 161 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback that burrows five million dollars off Mahomes per 162 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: ap y. I think Mahomes might be under what Micah 163 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: Parsons just got. But you know, there's other things going 164 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: on in Kansas City. You know, I'm sure he'll he'll 165 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: change some things. They it's a longer term deal, et cetera, 166 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: et cetera. He's trying to make sure they have money 167 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: to pay other guys, which is why they keep finding 168 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: themselves in the super Bowl. What five of the last 169 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: six years they find themselves in the super Bowl. But 170 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: that's a story for a different day. They're gonna have 171 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: to do something by Jair. They're gonna have this gotta 172 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: be the last draw for Dallas Cowboys fans. And I 173 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: know this is the beginning of the season and everybody's 174 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: looking for optimism and reasons to have hope in their team. 175 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: But this just is a head scratching move by every 176 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination. I'm trying to find a way 177 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: to spin it where you guys can can feel good 178 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: about it, But you just lost arguably your best player 179 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: for future draft picks that may or may not amount 180 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: to good players, Like, not anybody that's Kenny Clark's is 181 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: gonna help you this year. But those two first round 182 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: draft picks are gonna do nothing for you this season, 183 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: And maybe they'll do something for you in the future, 184 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: but right you're looking for right now, And if you're 185 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: gonna make this trade, you should have made it at 186 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: the draft so you could have drafted somebody to at 187 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: least help you this year. Oh my god, this is 188 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: just it's just crazy. It's just crazy. But enough about 189 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Let's talk about what this means for the 190 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. The Cheese Hits. They had a good 191 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: defense last year. They had a top five defense in 192 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: total yards per game. They had a top six defense. 193 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: They were number six in scoring per game. They were 194 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: even surprisingly for the first time in fifteen years, they 195 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: they averaged under one hundred yards rushing aloud per game. 196 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: They were number seventh in the league. So you're talking 197 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: about a defense that was trending in the right direction. 198 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: Trending in the right direction. They they were fourth and turnovers, 199 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: tied for eighth in sacks, and then you add Micah Parsons. 200 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: You talk about a team that talks about, hey, we're 201 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: serious about winning and taking the next step, taking the 202 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: next step and getting ourselves in the mix. You trade 203 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: for a player like this when you have a defense, 204 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: a top five defense already, and you're like, hey, this 205 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: will get you over the top. Yes it will. It 206 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: will definitely get you over the top. Last year, Rashwan 207 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: Gary was their most dominant player, had a twelve percent 208 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: win rate. Michael Parsons has a twenty percent win rate. 209 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: So you talk about the good only getting better. The 210 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: NFC North is a juggernaut right now. We already know 211 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: what the Detroit Lions are. We already know what the 212 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings have done. Obviously they're gonna have to We're 213 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: gonna have to see what the young quarterback can do. 214 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: But floor as in that defense, they had a phenomenal 215 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: season last year, four team wins. If I'm not mistaken. 216 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears revamped that offensive line, a new head coach. 217 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: They're looking better. Their their defense was it was pretty good. 218 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: Obviously they lose ebra flus, but they make the unncessary adjustments. 219 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: They have talent. Then Johnson's doing what he can with 220 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. I mean, it's Caleb Williams, I'm sure, but 221 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: it's it's It's gonna be an interesting ride this year. 222 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: This this is one of those moves that may divide 223 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: a franchise or at least a fan base for the 224 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and this is something that has Green Bay 225 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: Packers fans jumping for joy. A great defense just got better, 226 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: A really, really good team just became a great team. 227 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: They were on the fringe of contention. You're like, hey, 228 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: what they need another piece? Like who who was their 229 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: go to guy? Who's there? Like they have it? They 230 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: have it. And so if if they can do what 231 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: you expect them to do offensively, and they can run 232 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: the ball and Josh Jacobs does what he does, I 233 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: think this is going to be a really I mean 234 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: maybe a thirteen win team in Green Bay in a 235 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: very I mean the top three defense, if not the 236 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: best defense in football. But I can't take that away 237 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: from the Denver Broncos with everything they did last year 238 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: and what they have coming back Defensive Player of the 239 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: Year and Patrick Certain But this is a great move 240 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: for Green Bay and what a job they are doing 241 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: right now. I can't wait to see how this plays out. 242 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the game against the Green 243 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: Bay Packers versus the Dallas Cowboys.

In the 262 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: NFL forty nine, ers pick up Marquez Valdez, Scantling, they 263 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: pick up Brian Robinson. They you know, everybody's practice squads 264 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: could field up. There were There weren't a lot of 265 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: other notable moves. Amari Cooper goes back to the to 266 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. Obviously, this Michael Parson's trade is 267 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: the huge, the huge news of the day. But I'm 268 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: sure there are other moves that are gonna be made 269 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: regarding draft picks. There's been I Adam Thielen went back 270 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings for I think a fourth and 271 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: fifth from the Carolina Panthers, and they sent us seventh 272 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: and uh fifth back that way, our seventh and a 273 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: fifth to carra tow back to Minnesota, which is a 274 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: cool move for them. Cool move for the Minnesota Vikings 275 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: and Adam Field and getting the movie his family back 276 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: where it all started and getting to make a run 277 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: with them. Obviously, they're gonna be missing Addison for the 278 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: first three games because of the suspension, so just some 279 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: security there and strengthen their receiving corps I'm sure Kevin 280 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: O'Connell appreciates that. He'll fit right in. Veteran guy. Might 281 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: be the oldest receiver in the league. I think he's 282 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: thirty five. So good move for the Minnesota Vikings. The 283 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: season's right around the corner. It's gonna be a great year. 284 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm excited. First game of the season, the Seattle Seahawks 285 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: versus the San Francisco forty nine ers. That's gonna Obviously, 286 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: that's a game I am totally invested in. I am 287 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: gonna be watching that from start to finish, pre game, 288 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: see how these two teams compete, see how it all 289 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: shakes out. San Francisco hasn't been very healthy and hasn't 290 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: seen their full ones out on the field in a 291 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: real game yet. Uh. Seattle hasn't put their total first 292 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: team defense out there in a game, but their offensive 293 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: line looks better. That run game and run scheme that 294 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: Kubiak is putting out there looks phenomenal. Uh. Obviously, you 295 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get from JSN and Cooper Cup 296 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: looking to get K nine healthy if he's healthy sharp, 297 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: and they looked good in the preseason. Uh. San Francisco 298 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: still has Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, brock Party got his money, 299 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: he looks great. Uh. Nicholas John Boso be healthy, Fred Warner, 300 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: Diamador and Leonor you know, the normal suspects. Uh. And 301 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: the big question mark will be that defensive line. If 302 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: if the defensive line can hold up and and be impactful, 303 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: and the D tackles can can hold up the young 304 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: D tackles, it's gonna be a great year and a great, 305 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: great competitive NFC West with the Rams obviously doing kidding 306 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: DeVante Adams and continuing what they were able to do 307 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: last year. They took the Eagles to the wire, uh, 308 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: and had a chance to go to the NFC Championship 309 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: game and that snow game. And as long as they 310 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: have Matthew Stafford, I think they got a chance to 311 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: be in the mix. So the NFC West will be 312 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: competitive as ever the Arizona Cardinals, you know, leave a 313 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: It's up to be. It's to be seen what Kyler 314 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Murray is gonna do. Is he gonna be able to 315 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: stay healthy? If he stays healthy, what are they going 316 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: to be able to do? One wise, it's kind of 317 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: been a roller coaster for those fans. I'm sure they're 318 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: saying the same thing, but as always, the season preview 319 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: is coming up soon, stay tuned.
