33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: It's a good It's a good one this week. Saints

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys to first place teams Thursday Football. They you know,

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: they went into a little bit of a slump there, uh,

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: And I got a feeling they're gonna close strong with

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: some good games, including well, can we talk ourselves into

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: this being a good game? We will see. We're gonna

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: talk about it later in the show. Also, the trade

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: deadline was a month ago tomorrow something like that is

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: about a month ago of October and tomorrow is what

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: the it binds up? Just so, what if? What if

43
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: you extended the trade deadline by one month? That's what

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: we did in our in our imaginations. And we're gonna

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: go around the horn a couple of times and throw

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: out some um extended trade deadline offers or as you

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: called it, West trade lifeline. Very nice. I learned a

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: few things from this exercise. Oh good, Okay, we'll get

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: into that too. But before any of that, last time,

50
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: let's get let's get caught up and do some news.

51
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Let's do please. As of two eighteen, this NFC North

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: team had never even made the Super Bowl, much less

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: one it. But by gotta happen, right, Jay? Who are

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions? Yes? I mean, by the way the

55
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Bunsen burner blowtorts the Lions. Trebeck on the Lions, I

56
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of like that. I will say that on television.

57
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't notice this as much. But his voice I

58
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: cannot take him seriously. He sounds like some sort of

59
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: like elegant, like pampered prints from like deep Europe. It's funny.

60
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I find it incredibly soothing and for my entire life

61
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I have until that moment. If that sounded incredibly pretentious,

62
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: I have been rolling through old Jeopardy episodes on Netflix,

63
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: which is a great addition by the social, the streaming giant.

64
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I love it. But Alex Trebeck is not a human.

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: He is very awkward in his interactions with other humans.

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: What about like a road trip with Alex Trebeck and

67
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Roberts Stack. I kind of, you know, I think I

68
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: think what you're saying, but I mean when they were alive,

69
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: it checks out. You know. I don't want to paint

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: paint too broad and brush if if any you know

71
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: hosts out there are listening, but I think there there's

72
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: a there's some type of hosts like a game show

73
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: host off and you know it's just missing, like a

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: little humanity chip I would agree little about thirty five

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: years now. They have to try to make up for

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: that by connecting through the people in the teles. Their

77
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: similarity with stand up comedians, I think a different type

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: of a different type of ft up. Yeah, that's different

79
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: and not fun facts. I believe Jeopardy tapes right down

80
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: the street. That's Sony. So there you go. Let's get

81
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: to the news. So if we ever want to confront

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: axtra back about his lack of humanity. Good jeopardy, uh,

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: Reuben Foster, let me take a hard left turn um

84
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: to the dark side here. Ruben Foster the former forty

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Honors linebacker who was released by the team or sent

86
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: to waivers by the team after his third arrest, another

87
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: domestic violence issue. So the Niners put him on waivers

88
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: and one team claims him. And there was a little

89
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: mystery at first on Tuesday about which team it was,

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: and then it came out that it was the Washington

91
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Redskins who make the claim. Uh, Foster, who has this

92
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: criminal issue hanging over him, will not be able to

93
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: get on the field, either because he's not permitted or

94
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: to practice or playing games for the Redskins because the

95
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: NFL has placed him on the Reserve Commissioner Exempt list.

96
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: Do you remember that while the league reviews his arrest, uh,

97
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: Greg Redskins were the only team And I think a

98
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of people were surprised and frankly a little disappointed.

99
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: This is how it played out. Very surprised just because

100
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: of the timing and because of the acrobatics that it

101
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: took for them to justify it. Through their statement. You know,

102
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: this is a team that also y Junior Galet after

103
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: um some of the probably worst off field behavior that

104
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: any players had in recent NFL history, and they were

105
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: quick to sign him. And I like, whip a guy

106
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: on the beach. I mean that that was a part

107
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, that was the least of his But

108
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: but similarly, you know, four years ago they made a

109
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: statement saying they condone domestic violence when it had to

110
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: do with players on another team. And and just kind

111
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: of the hoops that Doug Williams. I almost felt bad

112
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: for Doug Williams, who was the man named, you know,

113
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: the executive named in the statement that the Redskins had

114
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: to make trying to justify it, trying to say he's

115
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: going to have to go through all these steps before

116
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: he gets on the field. And that also they consulted

117
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: a lot of Reuben Foster's teammates from Alabama who happened

118
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: to be on the Redskins roster. It's like, okay, so

119
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: you're you're asking his college buddies to be character references.

120
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: What what do you expect him to say? It has

121
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: a very Bruce Allen feel to it. Who is you know, pulling,

122
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: pulling the levers in Washington still and maybe mean Doug

123
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: Williams out there as the mouthpiece. I grow your own talent.

124
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: I just don't know why this is a move that

125
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: could be perceived by the Redskins as they were cooking

126
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: this up as anything other than, you know, a PR

127
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: disaster waiting to happen, and this this is not. There's

128
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: two separate parts of this. It's obviously, uh, the the

129
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: upsetting realities of what's going on Foster off the football field,

130
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: but it's also a little surprising. I know he's a

131
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: first round talent, but he did nothing for the Niners

132
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: this year. If this guy was some type of stud,

133
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 1: if it was like a situation like with Alden Smith

134
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: when it's a top rate pass rusher, you could see

135
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: why one team would kind of go through those acrobatics

136
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: and make this movement and eat the PR hit. But

137
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Foster has not shown anything this year. Was well, there's

138
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: no question he can play. He was really impressive last year. Uh,

139
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: he was a little bit behind the eight ball this

140
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: year and then came in and lost his position to

141
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Fred Warner Um who was really impressive in September. For

142
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: he can play and to me, the Redskins can't be

143
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: expecting him to play this year. He's on the commissioner's

144
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: exemp list. Even when they made the claim they have

145
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: two good starting inside linebackers so he wasn't gonna play.

146
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: To me, it just seemed like they figured someone else

147
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: was gonna claim him. If anybody's gonna have him on

148
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: the roster for future, if he ever straightens himself out,

149
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: it might as well be us. But even then you

150
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself is it worth it? Well, and

151
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: just that there they they say they fully understand the severity,

152
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: but that that sort of at odds with with claiming

153
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: him because and because I've heard the argument, well, you know,

154
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: does this mean he can never you know, work again?

155
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Does this mean uh that if the Chargers are eventually dropped,

156
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be in the league. It's like, well,

157
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: if you want to see how it plays out, like,

158
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: let that happen. You don't need to employ him in

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: the meantime, you can, you can let that go out.

160
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: There was a report that the Eagles did called Tampa

161
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: police and investigated themselves. They didn't put any claim on it.

162
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: It sounds like there was nothing that the Redskins have

163
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: done other than waiting for the legal process to check out.

164
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Let's move on. The Jacksonville Jaguars are making changes during

165
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: a deeply disappointing season in Duval. That's a thing. Blake

166
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: Bortles is headed to the bench. Doug Maron announced Monday

167
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: that the veteran passer is UH on the sideline, will

168
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: be on the sideline in week thirteen. It will be

169
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler UH playing UH quarterback for the Jags, who

170
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: have lost every single week UH dating like about two months,

171
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: dating back about two months now. The switch comes after

172
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: the Jags lost to the Bills UH seven straight losses.

173
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: They they were expected to compete for a Super Bowl.

174
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen this year. And in addition to

175
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: the decision West to lose Bordles and send him to

176
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: the bench, Nathaniel Hackett, UH, the offensive coordinator, also sent packing.

177
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a long fall for a team

178
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: that came close last year. I get with SCAPEGOATD. He

179
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: drew up some impressive game plans last year, specifically against

180
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Patriots in the playoffs, very impressive game plans,

181
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: and things weren't going this well, this year, I understand.

182
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: But you know all these people who say, who look

183
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: at Blake bordles numbers and say they're very similar to

184
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: last year, save it you are not watching Jaguars games,

185
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: and that's a deck giveaway. The guy's throwing motion, which

186
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: has been varying degrees of awful throughout his career, right

187
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: now is just broken. It is more pronounced, the hitchen

188
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: is wind up, and he cannot make simple throws. The

189
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: game he had against the Bills. When I watched that,

190
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I just thought that the Jaguars have to pull this guy.

191
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: They cannot keep playing it because the other fifty two

192
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: guys on the roster see a quarterback who can't play

193
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: at an NFL level. Right now, I think I think

194
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: though that you know and I and I've mentioned the

195
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: numbers are similar. It just reminds me of that's exactly

196
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: what we were saying at this point last year about Bordles.

197
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: If you remember, he kind of went on a late

198
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: season streak in December where he played some of his

199
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: best football, but just before that we were having this

200
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: exact same conversation that his mechanics are totally out of

201
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: he's totally ruining the team, they need to bench him

202
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: at a very similar time of the year. And then

203
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: that gets back to Tom Coughlin, who I want to

204
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: thank for signing Borders to this contract and you know,

205
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: expecting Borders to become a player that he hasn't been

206
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: for the last five years, and hamstringing this team because

207
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna deliver me some sandwiches, because I said, they're

208
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: not making the playoffs and you guys are gonna hand

209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: them over and and it's crazy to me to waste

210
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: really the last three years, I would say two thousand, sixteen,

211
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: seventeen and eighteen after you should have been able to

212
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: self scout and make a better decision on boards. Well,

213
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: part of the part of it is you have the

214
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: general manager still in house who used a third overall

215
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: pick on boardles, and I think there was this let's

216
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: not give up right away on him, and it got

217
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing that can happen sometimes is

218
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: when a bad player overperforms from what they really are,

219
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: which had happened to him in the playoffs, and it

220
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: gave them this idea that we can maximize Blake Borders.

221
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: But for me, if you're Nathaniel Hackett or any coordinator

222
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: attached to a bad quarterback. You have to be wondering

223
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: when this day is going to come. I mean this

224
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: to me makes no sense to fire him. Well then

225
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: you right now we made a good point to that

226
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: you can't tell what was wrong if you fire the

227
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: coordinator and the quarterback. But this is this tells me

228
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: that Doug Marone is under fire inside the building because

229
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: this is one of his most loyal lieutenants. They were

230
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: together for years in Syracuse. Doug Marones helped grow his

231
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: career and turn him into an offensive coordinator in college,

232
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: brought him along to Buffalo, brought him to Jacksonville. It's

233
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: not unlike one of us working together for ten years,

234
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: if there was some sort of power structure and sending

235
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: someone out when when trouble gets that hard. I mean,

236
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: this is a friend and someone that he whose career.

237
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: That's the message tam Posey needs to be, you know,

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: operating at high levels at all times. One thing I

239
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: would say, if you're trying to get inside the jaguar

240
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: he has, but he has the arm strength, has the

241
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: mobility to be a star quarterback. If you can fix him,

242
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: then you've got your answer. So I can see why

243
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: the lead was long. To me, what's indefensible is never

244
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: bringing in legitimate competition when you've told the other fifty

245
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: two players on the roster you gotta compete. I've been

246
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: there five years, and but it's amazing how that one

247
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: bad decision taking him and and then unlike I think

248
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: good organizations who would have cut bait earlier, can infect

249
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: everything that's happened since. The only reason Doug Maron is

250
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: the head coach right now is because he made Blake

251
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: Bortles look better in a mirage of a two game

252
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: streak at the end of two thousand sixteen, Maron and

253
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Hackett basically convinced ownership that hey, look, we we had

254
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: these two games with him, Let's let's stay with Bordles,

255
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: stay with us, and now they there's two years later

256
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: and they still don't have a quarterback. Hackett, who was

257
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: shocked by the way he didn't think this was coming.

258
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: He did a fine job. When Maron wanted to meet

259
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: with him, he thought it was about the quarterback change,

260
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and he was stunned. And his quote to Ian Rappaport,

261
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: they had a conversation. I guess the football gods had

262
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: it out for me. Uh, so hack it will land

263
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: on his feet. We'll see what happens with Bordles. But

264
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: changes coming in Jacksonville. Uh. More quarterback news in the

265
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: a f C, another disappointing season for Andy Dalton has

266
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: come to an end, shortened by an injury. Uh. The

267
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Glowing Ginger Man Uh is heading to

268
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: injured reserve because of a right thumb injury suffered in

269
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Sunday's loss to the Browns. It's the same thumb that

270
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: really sent Dalton's career, the injury that sent Dalton's career

271
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: in a different direction. It feels like forever ago. But

272
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: when the Bengals are ten and two and back in

273
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: and they were cruising and looked like they were gonna

274
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: get a by he breaks his thumb, it was cure.

275
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: It was pure Bengals luck, Uh, and he his season

276
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: ended and they really have never been a team since then.

277
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: So he heads to the sideline for the season and UH,

278
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: is there any chance West that that's the last time

279
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: you see Andy Dalton playing quarterback for the Bengals. Someone

280
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: asked me that yesterday on Twitter, and in my response

281
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: was I out it, because what's the alternative? I don't

282
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: think Jeff Driscoll. I mean, I liked watching Jeff Driscoll

283
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: play in garbage time. He's he's somewhat more fun than

284
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton because he's really mobile and he probably has

285
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: a stronger arm. But he threw a lot of passes

286
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: up for grabs that will get intercepted. To me, Jeff

287
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: Driscoll doesn't seem like a viable option. And unless you

288
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: have someone in house, how are you gonna let Andy

289
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: Dalton go his two non guaranteed years left on that

290
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: six year exten To me, that's a positive, though I've

291
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: seen people kind of conflating or you know, mentioning Bordles

292
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: and Dalton in the same breath. Bortles is contract is toxic.

293
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: They owe him six and a half million dollars guaranteed

294
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: next year. They're gonna eat one of the biggest dead

295
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: money um totals in NFL history if they release Bordles Dalton.

296
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: On the other hands worth, he's do sixteen million, not

297
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: a dollar in guaranteed money, no signing bonus. Still, the

298
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: payoff sixteen million dollars seems like a nice price in

299
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen for Andy Daltons. Andy Dalton's a fine

300
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: and about quarterback. That's why he's the Dalton scale. And

301
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: in the middle, it all depends who's there next year,

302
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: because if it's if it's Marvin Lewis and it's everyone's

303
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: surrounding Marvin Lewis. There have been there's been evidence and

304
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: in reasons to move on from Andy Dalton and get

305
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: him competition and a competition, and they've done literally nothing

306
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: on that. I would guarantee if the Bengals don't want

307
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: to pay Andy Dalton sixteen million next year, it's several

308
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: teams will want to. M uh And by the way,

309
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: it's called Dalton they find NFL quarterback. I think it's

310
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: it's important how you stress that he's fine. He's fine.

311
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: He's not like a fine quarterback, but fine, it's very important.

312
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: But fine quarterbacks get more than sixteen million dollars, right.

313
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: I liked the value at this point. They they signed

314
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: him to a six year contract, which at the time

315
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: people probably if we listen back to our podcast, we

316
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: might have we might have raised their eyebrows at that

317
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: the money. And now it looks like a little forward thinking.

318
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: They're they're ahead of the game in terms of quarters

319
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: one the whole thing on Dalton. I do think in

320
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of years what he's done with in

321
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: terms of him being fine. I don't think he's super

322
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: attractive fine, I mean, but there's an aspect of his

323
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: attractiveness that's upticked in the real in the last couple

324
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: of years. He's done something with his hair. He's kind

325
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: of shorn in the sides a little, and he looks

326
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: kind of bizarre but kind of tough. I don't know.

327
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: He kind of looks like like, oh no, well that's

328
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: different too. That's fine. Fine. Finally, in the news, uh,

329
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: the a a F, which is the Alliance of American

330

336
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: another hand, it sounds like a major medical issue that

337

Speaker 1: you're dealing with. I have like the worst insomnia, literally

344
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760

345
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: the medical science, they do say that people some people

00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: his I did nothing of the sort. Actually, you could

355
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: this always happen to me on this show? Just the

356
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: a f draft um allocated thirty two quarterback? What a

357
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: what a setup thing got going on here? Allocated thirty

358
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: two quarter This is from Kevin Seafort, ESPN. This is

359
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: my source here uh thirty two quarterbacks on Tuesday Night

360
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: and includes former uh NFL pastors such as Scott Tolzine

361
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: for him. Uh, Zach Mettenberger, you remember old net Oh yeah,

362
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: and remember when Mark wrote a letter asking for him

363
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: to come be Len Brown's Yeah. Now now he's been

364
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: taken by the Memphis Express, so he's working his way there.

365
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: And uh, finally, uh, we can't really say this name,

366
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: but this player was also taken. I think we blasted

367
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: that name out of the podcast. We decided that we

368
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: weren't going to mention it. Yeah, yeah, no, let's stick

369
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: to that rule. But that person was also taken. The

370
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: league begins play on February nine, which I believe is

371
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: one week after the Super Bowl. Greg, Yeah, no, I'm

372
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: really like, okay, we're all having our fun. It's like

373
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: kind of some names we haven't heard in a while,

374
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: like Mettenberger and joshtown. Now. I'm really excited to see

375
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: how the Atlanta Legends coaching staff, led by Brad Childress

376
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: as the head and Michael Vick as the offensive coordinator,

377
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: works with Justin Holman, Peter Pouhas, Matt Sims, and uh,

378
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Murray at quarterback. I think that's an interesting quarterback

379
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: room and an interesting offensive mine with vic as the coordinator,

380
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: Like mart Is on board here. They have some names.

381
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: There are literal names. Yes, I mean it's I I

382
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: remember the World League and thought it was fun and

383
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: NFL Europe and all that stuff, and you know, it's

384
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: not the worst thing to have if the if there's

385
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: people in there that you've heard, I've invested some emotional

386
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: and in time, you know, energy into some of these

387
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: leagues that have popped up over the years. Has been

388
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: about four or five of them, but they never lasts

389
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: a year or two, so it's tough to really One

390
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: thing on their site of like tickets is seventy five dollars,

391
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: I think you might. You're not going to get a

392
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: lot of people to pay seventy five dollars games. That's

393
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: what it says on this I will say one thing

394
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: that because when I was I got the secondary market.

395
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: Guys they're like their Twitter feed is it sounds like

396
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: some of the people that are employed by you know,

397
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: NFL and just very exuberant about themselves and like that.

398
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: Some of these tweets got on my on my on

399
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: my radar, I was like one of the most it's

400
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: the fourth round, everybody hold up before fourth quarter finished? Strong,

401
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: We're making history. Here, it's like and then and then

402
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: well then the up no no, But then the up

403
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: shot was they were trying to get everyone and log

404
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: on to watch this um streaming quarterback draft, but it

405
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: was couched away on some app that no one could

406
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: have had access too. So they were like every response

407
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: to every one of these braggadocious tweets was loved to

408
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: be a part of this. Can access the actual history

409
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: making segment here with your drafting Scotts Tolzen in France,

410
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: so a f social media team on Mark's radar. Where

411
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: sold are? Yeah, I've got I don't know if they're

412
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: cracking the top ten lists there, but there I want

413
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: to see like some winners and losers, some grades. I

414
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: think I think they got Quinn mcquerie in the third

415
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: round the Arizona hot Shots pretty value the Arizona hot set.

416
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: People thought he wouldn't go until until that, he'd go

417
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: earlier around one or two. No, they got him. They

418
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: also they did the thing where this you know this

419
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: is the mind sound like population. I just want to

420
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: sound like sensors, by the way, but go on, well,

421
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: but more than usual, I'm gonna give them. I'll give

422
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: them a chance. They have to. They had. They did

423
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: the Miami heating where they have to two team names,

424
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: San Diego Fleet in Birmingham Iron and what they can

425
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: do like the the Fleet. I believe it was protected

426
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson, who has been on the compion teams because

427
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: he played college in that area. You're allowed to protect

428
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: the local hero to be on your team. Well, that's

429
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: how most of these league started. Territorial picks, you know,

430
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: like the old Cincinnati Royals in the NBA got Oscar

431
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: Robertson because he played for university. Gave any publicity. Dan's

432
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: good publicity. We're talking about it. I'm we're gonna watch.

433
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch this entire no more about it now.

434
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: And I did a book report on the state of

435
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: Utah in night, so I will support the Salt Lake Stallions.

436
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: It will be my team. That's what's happening deep roots

437
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: there for in the news. I actually I remember to

438
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: this day. It was a brilliant move by an eight

439
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: year old old Zeuser. Young Zeuser at the time. Um

440
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: it had the report had to be I think like

441
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: six pages. So I did a little arts and crafts

442
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: and I, uh, you know, the general shape of the

443
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: state of Utah. I cut the loose leaf into the

444
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: state shape and presented that, which cut down on the

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: size of the page, which made less less writing also

446
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: had a visual effect to it that led to I

447
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: believe a high mark six pages for an eight year

448
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: olds a lot district in the town of friendly people.

449
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: They were definitely not getting six year old reports and

450
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: five panamonic districts. All right, let's move on. Okay, so

451
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: trade deadline last month. UH, we're doing our own trade

452
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: ladline deadline here because the trade deadline is too soon.

453
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: They got to change that rule, and hopefully maybe they will.

454
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: For now, we're going to live in the world of

455
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: uh fantasy and UH offer some deals or propose some trades.

456
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: That makes sense right now, because let's face it, it's

457
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: a very different landscape in the NFL on November than

458
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: it was on oct Um. Mark get us going, all right,

459
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: I I feel like there's a team before the trade

460
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: deadline that kind of put up signals that they were

461
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: willing to sell almost anyone but not this player. But

462
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: now this is happening in my reality. The Indianapolis Cults

463
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: send a first round and second round pick. They have

464
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: two second rounders after that deal with the Jets and

465
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: rounder to the New York Giants in exchange for Odell Beckham. Wow,

466
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: why would the Giants trade Beckham? They just gave him

467
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: a giant new contract. I get that. I get that.

468
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: There's all these factions probably in the Giants fandom too.

469
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: They would say this would never happen, and they just

470
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: ice them up. I just don't see this relationship as

471
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: a long term success for the Giants. And uh but

472
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: but maybe more it's wish casting that the cults could

473
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: go and add someone for Andrew Luck to throw to.

474
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: You just want West to not be able to stand

475
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: up right now. That's what you're going for right now.

476
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: That's I mean. Odell Beckham's name was was in trade

477
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: talks all off season and not the deal they got

478
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: the deal. Don Finally, I don't feel like an enormous

479
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: price for for a sever at least just compared to

480
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: what the market value has been. I don't. I don't

481
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: think it'd be a crazy because Odell Beckham is that good.

482
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Can I hear those terms again? The terms were, and

483
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I have to like I I will

484
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: say that if I had skills around the world of football,

485
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: like trade terms or maybe not in the top five,

486
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: but um first rounder, second rounder and under that's reasonable

487
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: and for that kind of talent, that's reasonable. And the

488
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: Coolts have the Jet second round pick this year, I believe, right,

489
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: so they would still have their second round picks one.

490
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, I got me my quarterback, so I'm cool

491
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: with it, all right, Uh okay, I mean it's fun,

492
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: it's a It would be a lot of fun to

493
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: see Andrew Luck with the best wide receiver tandem in

494
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: the league potentially. I just think the Giants probably look

495
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: at their setup and like this is the last year.

496
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: But if we do figure out the quarterback position in

497
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: the draft, and we improve our offensive line, we're gonna

498
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: score thirty five points a game with O'Dell s Quan,

499
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can play, and why would we trade

500
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: that away? And he's also the most popular player. My

501
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: one art, here's my one argument. Because the Giants, and

502
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: we've learned this from teams that finished with the fourth

503
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: or fifth pick, you don't get that quarterback. You don't

504
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: and there aren't There aren't seven quarterbacks in this draft

505
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: from what little we know now, that could change that.

506
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: If you add this ammunition, you can make the move

507
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: to get up and get the quarterback. And yes to

508
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: the expense of a wide receiver, but wide receivers can

509
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: be found. I mean, I I know he's not. I

510
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: know he's not. That's why the costs would be very high.

511
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: You would probably go to the file if you got

512
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you would have to go into the following

513
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: draft to find someone that's half as good as Odell Becka.

514
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: I just I don't know why the Giants would do that.

515
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I just look at the cults and say, I know,

516
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton's having a nice year, but in general,

517
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: the cults are thriving on offense without a lot of

518
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: stars around. Andrew luck Wes, what do you got? Can

519
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: I tell you my two takeaways that I learned from

520
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: this assignment? What's that one? I think we assumed that

521
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: more teams would be willing to trade guys away and

522
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: and I didn't get that sense at all. Like teams

523
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: like the Browns and Broncos are back in it. Seahawks

524
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: are are probably in better shape now than they were

525
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: a month ago. I think there's several teams like that.

526
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: And the teams that were bad are just still bad.

527
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: So there's a few. There's a few. I think the

528
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: Jags could be one. The Bucks maybe have given up

529
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: on staying in it. But you're right. I also think

530
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: the teams that would be the most aggressive are the

531
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: ones and two seats, the teams that just need one

532
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: more thing to put them over the top. Versions the

533
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: other good teams and the teams that are on the

534
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: would probably be a little more more reluctant to give

535
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: anything away, like especially like a team like the Chiefs,

536
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: when you have holes potentially to to fill. Uh, my trade.

537
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: You know, I've been resistant to put Larry Fitzgerald in

538
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: any trades because he's sort of an institution in Arizona.

539
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: Came down on hard on me when we did this exercise,

540
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: I know, which is why why I I put a

541
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: high standard. I really have to. You have to sell

542
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: this to Larry Fitzgerald. How about returning to his college

543
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: city Pittsburgh. The Steelers need a third receiver and have

544
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: all year because James Washington has not played up to

545
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: his ability, has not come in. We saw against the

546
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Broncos he had a couple of plays, including a play

547
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: where he dove for a ball that he could have

548
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: scored standing up if he would have just ran and

549
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: caught the ball, gave him grief about it that he deserves.

550
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: He has the right to criticize James Washington at this point.

551
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, if he stays in Arizona, he's not gonna

552
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: want any part of this rebuilding project. He's probably just

553
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna retire. I think. So he's got like six more games,

554
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: five more games left, we go. We America wants to

555
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: see Larry Fitzgerald in the playoffs one more time, and

556
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: I think he might even be able to sell him

557
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: on play another year and you got two playoff runs

558
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: in you and then going back to Arizona the very

559
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: same James Washington a second round pick who's got talent,

560
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals need wide receivers. So James Washington for

561
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald straight up? Wow? I like that, straight up.

562
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine it. I feel bad enough coming back

563
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals legend conditional fourth round picks. I feel

564
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals would take a huge pr hit on that, right.

565
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: What's yeah? We almost like, what's the what's the point?

566
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: The Cardinals also have a big problem. What are you

567
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna do with your wide receiver room? Next? Year, because

568
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: it's maybe the worst in the league. We're throwing you

569
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: a second round pick. I mean, you might have Larry

570
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald as a solid contributor next year and the best

571
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: player in franchise history, but he's he's a shadow of

572
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: For myself, I don't know if the bid wills Zona.

573
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: Mark's really cracking up. I don't know if h if

574
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: you offer Juju for Fitzgerald, I don't know if the

575
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals would pull the trigger. Really somebody I would take

576
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, But that's not what it's about. It's

577
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: it's great. I agree with you that that this is

578
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: about a legend and keeping him in town. But somebody's

579
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: got to build a wide receiver room for the Arizona

580
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals next year. All right, I'll throw another wide receiver,

581
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: not at the level of Larry Fitzgerald to the four

582
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: people in this room, but to the person behind the glass.

583
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: It's someone that shines and towers above Fitzgerald and anyone

584
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: else that's ever played the position, really has played sports. Period.

585
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: Uh what are the Dolphins? What are they right now?

586
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: At five and six? Their playoff hopes pretty much shot,

587
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: and as things stand right now, the Dolphins are neither

588
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: a win now team or really a win tomorrow team.

589
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: That feels like the last twenty years in my right,

590
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: they I mean, they just exist. Okay, it's time to

591
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: pick a lane. And uh, this is not something that's

592
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: going to to put them on the path to getting

593
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl. But Dolphins trade Danny playoff

594
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: a Mandola back to the Pats for a fifth rounder.

595
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why this makes sense, because, first

596
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: of all, Amadel has zero future in Miami. I know

597
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: he loves it down there. He's getting he's getting busy

598
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: pool side, being a philanderer. And I know you're happy

599
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: about that. Can you be a philander if you're not married?

600
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Not really? Is there evidence of oh there's direct evidence

601
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: on his girlfriend, the supermodel. It's all I know about it.

602
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: That's beside the point anyway. Uh, he's thirty three years old,

603
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: he's in the first year of a two year, twelve

604
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. He's do six million nineteen. Yes, the

605
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: Patriots walked away from Amdola essentially after the last year,

606
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: but uh, that was a different time. Now they're they're

607
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: thinking to themselves, we are as win now as we

608
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: have ever been. We decided to go to Tommy Boy,

609
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: who might even be in decline right now. Uh we

610
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: need a guy that literally his nickname was Danny playoff

611
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Amund Dola given to him by Gronk. And you have

612
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: Philip dor Set there who has not made an impact.

613
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: In fact, they've really decreased his snaps and I don't know, Um,

614
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means that they're they're changing

615
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: that how they're running their offense. Greg, maybe you can

616
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: help me out with that. But they have Josh Gordon,

617
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: they have Edelman, they have Gronk. I feel like am

618
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: and Dola could carve out a role there and make

619
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: an impact, assuming he's healthy. He's got a knee issue now,

620
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: but let's keep that out of the mix. So anyway, No,

621
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm serious, but I don't know if it's a serious

622
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: issue or not. Uh So there you go Amadal back

623
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: to the back to the paths and they could decide

624
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: if they want to eat the six million or keep

625
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: him around. Next to the one thing, they're the they're

626
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: the one team. Belichick feels like the one guy that

627
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have an issue. Sometimes when the player leaves a team,

628
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: you know they're they're never gonna ever come back to

629
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: that team, you know, la Garrett Blunt goes to Pittsburgh,

630
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: totally melts down. You know, weeks later he's back in

631
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: New England. Like Belichick doesn't have a problem bringing back.

632
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: They would have happily had Damn and Danny Amendola back

633
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: if he took a pick up for the seventh straight year.

634
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: Poor Danny. You know, that's the thing that they want

635
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: his contrast night, I'm just saying that he has, but

636
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: he's been He's up there in terms of underpaid players

637
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: of the last five years or so. He you know,

638
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: those uh those bar tabs that uh live don't pay

639
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: for themselves. Yeah, I mean, you don't want your your

640
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 1: girlfriend making that much more money than you. He had

641
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: to go take the money. Doesn't make sense as a

642
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: as a Dolphins, I don't see. I don't see why

643
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins would want to help out the team in

644
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: their own division. Mike tannin bomb and what because they're

645
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: nor there they just I guess, but it would just

646
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: be it would not be annoying. I think if there,

647
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: if there was a pink pony situation going on, and

648
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm starting to buy this, you know this theory that

649
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Mark has been selling that other, investigating, not investigating that other.

650
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: You know, there's operatives out there. I think it would

651
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: make a lot more sense for his old buddy Matt

652
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: Patricia to send him Ziggy Anza in the last month

653
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: of his contract for like a fourth round pick, because

654
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Patriots love sending these fourth or fifth round picks. They

655
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: get a little negotiating window to talk to Antsa at

656
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: the end of next year. He's starting to He hasn't

657
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: played very well this year, but he has looked healthy

658
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. What are the Lions doing?

659
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: They they're a team that's kind of fallen out of it,

660
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: and Antsa could actually give you some juice here in

661
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: the last month. If we're gonna have a little pink

662
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: pony action ride that, I'm saying, ride that pony, let's

663
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: lean into it this time. It's time is ending. You know,

664
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: you don't even need to pony. I mean Tom Brady's

665
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: forty one. Let's just let's maximize what we got. You

666
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: guys are saying every the walls are crumbling here. Yeah,

667
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: they're an eight and three team that's in the top.

668
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: They're one of the six or seven best teams in

669
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: the league like, that's another year, let's go for it.

670
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: But I think next year this time, and I don't

671
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: know if I am and Dola doesn't get me too excited.

672
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: It'd be nice to have him though. It'd be nice

673
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: to have him in the mix. He is playoff Danny.

674
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: I think he would make it bigger impact on the

675
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: Patriots and a playoff run they could use. They could

676
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: use a pass rusher pretty badly. They could use some

677
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: more depth up front. What is it? How excited would

678
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: you be ada came back to the Paths? I would

679
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I would do. I would

680
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: probably add on and not the trade part, just because

681
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know Miami. But it's easy to imagine like

682
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: him or Legarrett Blunt, just like coming back from having

683
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the a f C title game. Totally

684
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: can see it all right, one more time around the horn. Okay,

685
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: this is a deal that would be done in secret

686
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: on right before the deadline. There is a team in

687
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland looking for a leader. There is a coach out

688
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: there who would be a perfect fit for Baker Mayfield,

689
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: a coach with a shot to win one more Super

690
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: Bowl before exiting stage right at the ideal time, a

691
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: coach you can work with general manager John Dorsey, so

692
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: not a power hungry guy that also needs to be

693
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: the GM. A guy that can work with the general manager.

694
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: We've seen him do that in New Orleans with a

695
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: general manager that runs multiple proteins, totally absurd. And a

696
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: coach who has gone to his own ownership and said

697
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: he's open to this deal because he's always had a

698
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a wandering eye for other jobs around

699
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: the league. Which is Cleveland sending two first round picks

700
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: this year and next to the New Orleans Saints for

701
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Deal effective the minute the Saints season raps.

702
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: So it's effective because I was gonna say, if he

703
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: if he's looking to get another title, No, no, no,

704
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: deal he does A deal has done crew in New

705
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Orleans this year that might have a chance. Deal can't

706
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: be done in March with the new league year has

707
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to be salted away before the deadline. And at Cleveland

708
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: it absolutely is because I didn't get I did research,

709
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: and you are still even despite all the whispers that

710
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: you can trade for a coach, I mean for a

711
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: coach at a later date, that little, that little Nook

712
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: and Cranny. I'd have to look up, but you can't.

713
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: But you can trade a coach, and so you can.

714
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: You can you can trade high executives or coaches under

715
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: the league's tampering rule. I don't know about the timing,

716
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: but it feels like this in my dynasty fantasy a

717
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: couple of times, right. I mean, I feel like, I

718
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: know you thought I was gonna go Belichick, but because

719
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: you just tweeted last night, it's a night, and this

720
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: is the second tweet just like this that's been sent

721
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: out on a random night, it's an ideal time for

722
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick to fly full circle back to the Brown

723
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: I think that makes nobody. That makes sense too. I

724
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: think that makes sense too. But I don't think that

725
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft would ever ever play party to that at

726
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: all unless Belichick has an outclause. And I don't think

727
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Belichick will go to Cleveland. Yeah, well, I would say

728
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: it would be fine if you let Belichick be the owner,

729
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: just give him the team, because he would work for

730
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslum as soon as he would, you know, work

731
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: for what. That's why I don't see that. I just

732
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: don't see that as realistic. I do think though, if

733
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: you're Sean Payton, You're you go from do you want

734
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: to sit there with year forty two? Or do you

735
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: suddenly have Baker Mayfield the third most cap space in

736
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: the league, another like ten near leven draft picks and

737
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: one of the more talented rosters on the rise, like

738
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Go from winning a title potentially with New

739
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: Orleans to Bill Parcels used to do this with Super

740
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Bowl while you're negotiating with other teams on the phone

741
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: during Super Bowl Week. It's fair well because I think

742
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payton could in this in this world, Sean Payton

743
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: goes and says, look, I've won you two super Bowls.

744
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: I've been here for twelve years. I want to make it.

745
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: But my takeaway from this is the Bruce Arians does

746
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: not excite you. I mean he does, but I don't

747
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: think that the Browns necessarily are excited by Bruce Arians. Really,

748
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: I just don't know, but that Sean Payton would excite

749
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: me more. These are high times, uh, for the Sean

750
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: Payton fans, But it wasn't that long ago that he

751
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: was like seven or nine, three years in a row.

752
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a lot to give up the Browns.

753
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: What did you give up? Again? It was to first

754
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: because I just don't think. I don't, I don't think.

755
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: I think. I think if you get the coach that

756
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna have for ten more years, who cares about

757
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: two first? John Payton's worth more than Odell Beckham. I

758
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton has engineered a top five offense every

759
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: single year, so every even though there's but now Baker

760
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield and he's recreated himself. You're right about the seven

761
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: and nine, But then he doesn't just flatline and get

762
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: words a defensive guy. Dan doesn't like it at all. No,

763
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: it's we just gotta keep moving west. You're up. That

764
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: was a good That was a good, A good conversation,

765
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: this one on both sides. This one is in a

766
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: closer atmosphere um and not nearly as exciting and minor

767
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: like you gotta Cowboys need one more weapon on offense

768
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: and their tight ends are hurt. Team. They need a

769
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: guy who's played at a Pro Bowl level this year

770
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: for a team going nowhere. Jared Cook of the Raiders,

771
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: who's a free agent after the year, to the Cowboys

772
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: for a fourth round pick. See, that's very believable. It

773
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: might be a little high price, but that is the

774
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: type of trade you would see. I think on December first.

775
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, who's playing great. It's had a great year

776
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, and if I'm him, I'm not resigning

777
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: to play for that. What's going on in Dallas now

778
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: at the tight end position, Jeff much starter, he just

779
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 1: had surgery on his wrists, So they've got a bunch

780
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: of nobody's in there. They need another. They won't play Ricos,

781
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: They've had almost no production there. I mean, I never

782
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: saw I thought i'd see a season where Jared Cook

783
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: is easily the number one receiver on his team. But

784
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: he's done a nice job with it in Oakland, including

785
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: one kind of an under the radar one of the

786
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: best touchdown catches of the entire season last year last week,

787
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and falling backwards, and an underthrown throw one handed.

788
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: He's been great. One of the best playoff catches of

789
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: the last ten years, Aaron Rodgers, probably the best throw

790
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: of the last ten years. Yeah, well, and that came

791
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: against these very cowboys. There you go, yeah, go get

792
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: the guy who beat you. Revenge. Just if you can't

793
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: beat him, go get him. Uh, that's a great one.

794
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know who says no there. I think that

795
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: that happens. We gotta put this is an approval. That's

796
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: a lifeline. Right there is that our first trade, I

797
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: feel like makes a lot of sense. Alright, so the Jaguars,

798
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: I think the Pats accepted that ziggy ansa deal. So yeah,

799
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm word with him. Patriots, Yep, they said yes, Damndel

800
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: as well. So we got three. Oh wait, Sean Payton

801
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be the head coach of the Browns. That

802
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: one worked too. We're on fire. The Jaguars. They had

803
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: their shot windows open, they couldn't get through. Yeah, yes,

804
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: they got dang by Operation Pink Pony in the title game.

805
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: But that's that's what's done is done. Now they have

806
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: that defense that's regressing. They have the worst quarterback mess

807
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: in the league. And yes, could they circle the wagons

808
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: on d next year and get back to an approximation

809
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: of their two thousands, sixteen or seventeen level. Perhaps, But

810
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: are they gonna be able to pull off a trade,

811
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: uh to bring in a quarterback who can get the

812
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: job done? Um, that's hard to do. I don't know

813
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: who you would even target in that scenario. So you're

814
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: probably gonna go to the draft, and then you're looking

815
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: at kind of a soft reboot for this team as

816
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: close as they came. Soft reboot. Yeah, it's a soft one, uh,

817
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: knowing Tom Coughlin and Tommy's upset. Tommy's upset Greg, And

818
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: you like it because you've got all this rage built

819
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: up about Tom coughlind those two Super Bowls. So you're

820
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: enjoying what's happening right now with Coughlin. And what did

821
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: he say in the media this week? He said, he

822
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: said he put on some he'll he'll put on the

823
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: gloves and defend all the decisions he made and he

824
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: does not regret giving Blake board as a monster contract.

825
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: So he's putting on the gloves, and you want he

826
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: seems like a guy that's gonna shake it up. And

827
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: I think you know where I'm going on this one, right,

828
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: big shake up? No, because they're good players are in defense.

829
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, uh is a wildly talented, you know, diva

830
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: but wildly talented cornerback, and he might not want to

831
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: be there anymore. And and I've I saw this with

832
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: my own team with Keyshawn Johnson. This becomes a major

833
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: issue when the star that's very outgoing, charismatic talks a lot,

834
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: can't stop talking. Maybe not the best guy when things

835
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: are going bad. Sometimes it doesn't. It's not the worst

836
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: idea to to move that guy if you can really

837
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: get an offer that makes sense. Allen Ramsey and a

838
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: second round pick in and a conditional fifth round pick

839
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: in to the Chiefs for a first round pick in,

840
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: a first round pick in, a third round pick in,

841
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: and a sixth round pick in. Holy smokes, And if

842
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: you were tracking that those are the same terms of

843
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: the deal that sent Khalil Mack to the Bears. And

844
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: like Mac, I'm motivated and re energized. Jalen Ramsey could

845
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: have a transformative effect on any defense. He joins, Ramsey

846
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs and let's go to the Lombardi Riser.

847
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: That's a lot to give up to. So I just

848
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: don't think I thought I was telling. The Jaguars released

849
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: a statement right after that those trade rumors popped up

850
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: that they just wouldn't even consider it. They they he's

851
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: in the third year of his rookie contract, though, so

852
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: that this would be a logical time if you're gonna

853
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: move it. And I do think the Chiefs in this

854
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: exercise should be the team that are pushing all the

855
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: chips in. And if you're looking at the Jaguars, I

856
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: think Malake Jackson would maybe be up for Rabs right now,

857
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: not sure he's gonna be back with that team next year.

858
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: And Class Campbell would be a guy that you know

859
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: I'd be calling in. So this would be an advantage

860
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: of December first trading deadline because I think you could

861
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: maybe get one of those defensive linemen not sure about Ramsey.

862
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: That would be tough. I had a different cornerback going

863
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs from Dan's very own Jets, Mo Claiborne,

864
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: a free agent m to the year to the Chiefs

865
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: for a more reasonable like mid round pick. I would

866
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: love to see the Chiefs if the Patriots can't make it.

867
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: I just think it'd be a great story. So we

868
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 1: all had similar ideas here. I think Jalen Ramsey needs

869
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: like a month with a DOLLI Lama more than he

870
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: needs to trade get rid of all that hatred Ramsey.

871
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll maybe it'll be a story this offsee possible.

872
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: Do you think Mac and Ramsey are similar in terms

873
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: of how they can change the defense. No, I think

874
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: Maxworth Moore. Yeah, I think Maxworth because I you know,

875
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: a absolute top tier cornerback if you believe in j

876
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: Ramsey at that level, can really change things. Hey mean

877
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: he's in the same conversation. I'm not. I'm not putting

878
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: him in the Darrelle Revis top level cornerback half the field.

879
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: I think he's a great if one half that fields gone.

880
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: He's been truly dominant one season out of three. He's

881
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: a really great player. But you're putting him in the

882
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 1: level of Hall of famers. I don't think he's played

883
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: at that level except for last year. You're banking on

884
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: the potential a little bit too sure, Okay, close it out, great,

885
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: had some chiefs and jag stuff. Let's let's go with

886
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: the one that, yeah, I got a lot of trade.

887
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's add one that not only is

888
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: it made, the trade has made this week. Um, but

889
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: they they work out a deal where no one even

890
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: knows about it until the pregame introductions on Sunday, forty Seahawks.

891
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: They're introducing the Seahawks legion. Who's Who's the last name

892
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: that they call, oh wait a second, Oh no, is

893
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: that is that Richard Sherman's music coming out? He's not

894
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: with the Fortyers anymore. They're in the visiting locker room.

895
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: He's coming out with the Sea Hawks. They bring him

896
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: back because now they're in the playoff race. They know

897
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: it and Shermans playing at such a high level waste

898
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: kind of wasted away on the forty Niners. We don't

899
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: need him anymore. There were some tough things said, but

900
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: ultimately Sherman is a Seahawk. He knows that the fans

901
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: love him, and let's go make a fun last playoff

902
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: push and I don't you know, costs a let's say

903
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick that reminds me of There was

904
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: a lot of uh, some back talk from Sherman, who

905
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: really was It seemed to be It's funny how life

906
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: can come back to bite you in the old buttocks

907
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: because he's he thought he was on the rising NFC

908
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: West team and he was taking shots at what he

909
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: thought was a declining giant. And here we are entering

910
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: December and the Seahawks are still a player in the

911
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: NFC and the Niners are one of the worst teams

912
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: in football. The problem is like then the Seahawks will

913
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: get eliminated like fourteen days later, and you've got Richard

914
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: Sherman back on your roster going playing the off season.

915
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: It's like asking for a new contract here. Pete Carroll

916
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: doesn't want another go round with Richard Sherman, and that

917
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: they like Shaquille Griffin and Trey Flowers, Well, they should,

918
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: they should. They should like Richard Sherman because he's a

919
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: much better player than either of those guys right now.

920
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: But they've been winning all year with these guys and

921
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: they want to keep winning with him. And I think

922
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, both the front office, Schneider and Carol feeling

923
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: pretty good about themselves that they were able to purge

924
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: some of these big dramatics of it. It's like when

925
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: the rest you know in arrest it turns that heel

926
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: to a hero or even goes from like W C

927
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: W two W didn't you didn't see it coming? Sure?

928
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: This was the A yeah that would work bro Uh

929
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: good trades guys. Sean Jackson I thought was gonna get dealt,

930
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: but he he hasn't made a plan about two months.

931
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: Not all his fault, but I would like to add him.

932
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: Didn't he go to a specialist this week to check

933
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: out his thumb. Yeah, he's got a thumb issue as well.

934
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to catch pass. It's even Jimmy

935
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: Graham can't do all right, there are the trades before

936
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: we go Thursday night football. We got a good one.

937
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: It's the Saints writing a ten game winning streak. Uh.

938
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: And here's a nice challenge. They go to a big D.

939
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: Connie on the Twitter Show, it's not gonna suggested that

940
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: it's time to move on from the term big D.

941
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: I love it. I love that big day. Um. So

942
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that's where they're going for this game.

943
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: I respect. I kind of like that one. I'm gonna

944
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to her no longer say okay, that's fair,

945
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: that's fair. Um, But here we are the Redskins. I mean,

946
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are on a three game winning streak. But here,

947
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: um Mark Sessler is the test of their season. The

948
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: Saints unstoppable, scary in prime time. Yeah. I I keep

949
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: hearing how great of a game this is, and you

950
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: can make an argument for it. But my my concern

951
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: number one would be if Tyrone Smith is not available

952
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys because when he's not been in the

953
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: lineup that offense, that offense is a completely different operation.

954
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: And Dak Prescott has been sacked as much as any

955
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. And so that you're playing a

956
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: Saints defense that everyone talks about the offense, can Jordan

957
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankin's the way that they're operating up front. They're

958
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: very dangerous. They haven't allowed you know, they're allowing less

959
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: than twenty points per game. I I don't really see

960
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: this as a game that's going to be close potentially

961
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: at all. This is gonna be the unmasking of the Cowboys. Also,

962
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: I'm covering it, so I'd like it just to be

963
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: a big old romp as always just but I I

964
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: also but you know what, I'll say this, I love it.

965
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about the Saints a game though. On

966
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: My one thing about the Saints versus other teams is

967
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: the Saints winning forty two ten is exciting to me

968
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: versus other teams winning to forty to ten. And I

969
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 1: think we've taught someone else made a similar comment. I

970
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: I want the Saints to get home field advantage. I

971
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: want them to go to the Super Bowl. And I

972
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: want them to continue to take care of business and

973
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: this and the Cowboys don't feel like the team to me,

974
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: that is the antidote here. Not to labor the point,

975
00:49:54,560 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: but what's more exciting to Saints or SATs forty to here? Sometimes?

976
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: Because sometimes I like to see it's not every team.

977
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: I like to see a team drop a mega hammer,

978
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: and they are in that mode right now of just

979
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: dropping hammers every week. I often would be unhappy with that,

980
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,479
Speaker 1: but I like it with the Saints. Okay, you don't

981
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: need to. But if you were a tavern, if you

982
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: were in a tavern, you want I honestly love blowouts.

983
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: Sometimes I like to see big massacres. I don't need.

984
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: There's every game is thirty one in the NFL right now?

985
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: A bomb? Alright? Okay, uh, well, the Cowboys have scored

986
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: They scored thirty one points on the Redskins last week.

987
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: That's a nice job in two NFL get to that

988
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: thirty mark. But they've only done it one time all

989
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: season before that. I mean, what's the absolute minimum number

990
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: of points that the Saints are going to score? What?

991
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: Thirty four? They're averaging thirty seven I think this season.

992
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys are gonna have to score points and

993
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: and Wes, you were right on Cooper that he could

994
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: have a big effect on this team. The Cowboys are

995
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to come out and Zeke Elliott's gonna have

996
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: to go nuts, and Cooper is gonna have to have

997
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown or two. It's asking a lot, but at

998
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: least they're in their building. You can make a case

999
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 1: that they can hang around here. They need to score touchdowns.

1000
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: On offense, you need to control the ball, and when

1001
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: they get in the red zone, you don't settle for

1002
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: field goals. You get Zeke Elliott, Amari Cooper, whoever into

1003
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: the end zone. Um, that's that's how it starts. And

1004
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: then your defense, which to me, the Saints and Cowboys

1005
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: have two of the most fun defenses in the league,

1006
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: and they're not traditionally known as defensive powerhouses. But outside

1007
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: of the Bears, I think I trust these two defenses

1008
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: as much as anyone in I do. I think the

1009
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: way the Saints are playing on defense right now, either

1010
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: people aren't paying attention because of the offense, well, I

1011
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: mean their defense. They were in Matt Ryan's grill the

1012
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: entire game last weekend. He's still through. For well, he's

1013
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: still through because he's good. That's what happened. But Layton

1014
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 1: vander Ish to me is one of the most fun

1015
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: linebackers in the league to watch right now. DeMarcus Lawrence

1016
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: is an All Pro candidate. Jalen Smith has been every

1017
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: bit what the Cowboys hoped they would be when they

1018
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: took a chance on him. This is a really good defense.

1019
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: And if they can get after Drew Brees and force

1020
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: a few turnovers, that's your recipe. Score deep, score touchdowns

1021
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: on offense and get after Drew Brees on defense. I mean,

1022
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: NFL Networks excited, Foxes excited, the Cowboys are winning. It's

1023
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: like everyone has this Cowboys fever lately, and I feel

1024
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: like only like a prescription from Dr Rainmaker is gonna

1025
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: because again because because I'm not firing it, I'm not

1026
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: fighting this Cowboys team. There, I didn't know a long.

1027
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: Do we have permission from Annie Lennox to use that

1028
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: in a gambling Just let's keep it on the down.

1029
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,439
Speaker 1: This is just if you're in a competitive, no money

1030
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: at stake league. I could can I hear that acapella?

1031
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 1: Then if that was your voice, didn't do anything getting

1032
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: four more of these propositions during tomorrow's preview show. I

1033
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll have to. It's not about it's not

1034
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: about making rules, about having fun, and it's about it's

1035
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: about a feeling like you can't control the rain. It's

1036
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 1: you're feeling either gonna come or not. The lawsuit. Here's

1037
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: the thing, I really, I really do believe that the

1038
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been overrated the last few weeks. Okay, DeMarcus

1039
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: Lawrence has been an unbelievable player. If he's going to

1040
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: be the defensive Player of the year type of guy,

1041
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: and he's played at the level like make a bunch

1042
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: of plays to win this game with Ron Armstead hurt.

1043
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: But I I don't see defenses doing that in key

1044
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 1: spots this year. Uh Byron Jones make some plays covering

1045
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. This it came out as about a touchdown,

1046
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown spas hoping it would maybe go down for that.

1047
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: It was hoping it would go below that. It's not right.

1048
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: It's right at seven and spread. It's here's the thing, though,

1049
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: they could keep it close for two and a half quarters.

1050
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: Couldn't you see that? Do you really see them stopping them? Uh?

1051
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: Drive after driving. And actually I agree with Mark. The

1052
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: Saints are better than every team in the league. They

1053
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: are a blowout team. And as much as I want

1054
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: this to be a game, and I do, I do

1055
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: respect the Cowboys. I think they're the best team in

1056
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: the East. They're not even in the same league I

1057
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: did see right now, But I don't yet respect their

1058
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: passing game. Dak Prescott has in PFF has a stat

1059
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: for it. So we agree we are going to blow

1060
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: them in which sacks? Which which quarterbacks have been at

1061
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 1: fault for the most sacks of on their own team

1062
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: where it's not the offensive and it's stacked by far

1063
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: and and I don't and you may not have your

1064
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: left tackle and you and you're watching that game against

1065
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: the Falcons that the passing game to me is still
