Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast saved cap space by signing
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley. Welcome to another edition to the Around the
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis and I am
Speaker 1: joined in a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenal. What is up, boys, Hey, Dan, I
Speaker 1: would think West his great ability as an analyst, it
Speaker 1: would not be a value by to lock up West
Speaker 1: would cost a little guap. Now he does have a
Speaker 1: track record, he's on the wrong side of forty. He
Speaker 1: does some injury history, the Big Sea uh, and his
Speaker 1: body's shoulders breaking down, but he's still got it upstairs.
Speaker 1: It's it's like they say, Wes. As you get older,
Speaker 1: your physical skills a road, but the mental game goes
Speaker 1: up and you end up hitting this like median. That's
Speaker 1: what they say. If only I had uh this mental knowledge,
Speaker 1: experience and wisdom when I was in my twenties making
Speaker 1: bad decisions on a daily base exactly. But they are
Speaker 1: getting the West that's not drinking like twenty beers a day.
Speaker 1: They're getting a wiser nobler. I mean, the NFL didn't
Speaker 1: become the NFL by being a bunch of dopes. They
Speaker 1: didn't you know, help you know, make this pipe cut
Speaker 1: into you know, one of the most powerful things in
Speaker 1: the world. Gifted broadcasters we are. And and they immediately
Speaker 1: when the big sea happened last year, and when he
Speaker 1: was in the throws of chemotherapy, uh, they offered him
Speaker 1: very low you know, salary, but a lot of guaranteed
Speaker 1: money into the future. They were betting on him taking
Speaker 1: that when he was at his lowest, and he took it.
Speaker 1: I will say, if that money dropped, if that money
Speaker 1: drop is accurate, and I have been signed, I can
Speaker 1: tell you with a percent insurance, there is no upfront money.
Speaker 1: M No. I guess what it's like signing the guy
Speaker 1: right after he tears his A C L. You know,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, I'm on a one year prove of deal.
Speaker 1: And enjoy this, this disposable income you have now West
Speaker 1: because once more, don't even blocks you down. And like
Speaker 1: I said, you're on a tight schedule. Now, May marry
Speaker 1: what last spring engagement, May marriage, next May baby one
Speaker 1: seventeen months after that baby too, your money gonna be
Speaker 1: gone brow And it's I know, I can already tell
Speaker 1: that the West and Lakisha parrying is going to be
Speaker 1: one of the couples, and I admire this is say, listen,
Speaker 1: when we have a child, I know all these other couples,
Speaker 1: they lose their spot in eighty We are going to
Speaker 1: still continue to float up the coast to Wine Country
Speaker 1: with our newborn and down East and West. No, you're not.
Speaker 1: There's a hit. You know you have twins in the
Speaker 1: Westling family. So he might bang out one and two
Speaker 1: right off the bat and just get it all done.
Speaker 1: She's she's the one actually going through with the pregnancy,
Speaker 1: not West. We're gonna put it on social media hashtag
Speaker 1: to bang out you could or you could go the
Speaker 1: route where you have a girl, then you have another girl,
Speaker 1: and then West is like I need a boy. I
Speaker 1: gotta carry the bloodline, and then bang twins. I really
Speaker 1: mean this. Everybody says this, but I don't care what
Speaker 1: gender they are as long as they're healthy. Like I
Speaker 1: have six brothers, I don't need a boy, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: to work. I totally believe you. I think that's I
Speaker 1: think that's common. I felt the same years old and
Speaker 1: Cheese in her late thirties, like, if that child is healthy,
Speaker 1: I'll be had and you have LIKEO so somebody's carrying there.
Speaker 1: I mean, someone else has to do the work here
Speaker 1: along alongside you. That glad to have your West. Thank you. However,
Speaker 1: you got signed big show coming up today, Um, Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: We see the finish line. God, please have the finish
Speaker 1: line comes soon, maybe as soon as this week. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some Arizona football quarterback chatter uh And a new seg
Speaker 1: like this one like the sound of it. Don't even
Speaker 1: want to do the sag because I like the name
Speaker 1: so much. I don't want to mess it up. Like
Speaker 1: if it was just if we just name the segment
Speaker 1: today and then never hit it, that would be fine
Speaker 1: with me because it would stay pure. We could do
Speaker 1: that coming up later in the show. D M A
Speaker 1: g M M hmm. I hate like that, Ricky, you
Speaker 1: like that. I love it. When I saw it on
Speaker 1: the rundown, I was like, damn, you guys are really
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, get up with the times. And
Speaker 1: guess which one came up with the name the millennial?
Speaker 1: Of course, Well I got it. I mean I held
Speaker 1: your hand through the whole thing, and then you came
Speaker 1: up with it like a father, like a dad. But
Speaker 1: the hook the d M A G M came from
Speaker 1: the kid. That's accurate. Hey, proof, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: long offseason. Let's get to the news, all right. Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown will start there because the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Speaker 1: maybe not not going to be called that anymore. As
Speaker 1: soon as Friday, potentially. Rap Sheet reported today that Mr
Speaker 1: Big Chest the sweepstakes are heating up. A trade could
Speaker 1: wrap up soon. Uh. The Steelers have started to um
Speaker 1: tell the trade market. Uh, it's it's moving quickly. Get
Speaker 1: your best offers in asap because we want to make
Speaker 1: a move. Adam Schefter over at ESPN reported that a
Speaker 1: deal could be in place as soon as Friday. Uh,
Speaker 1: the Steelers would like to move round before March, when
Speaker 1: his two and a half million dollar roster bonus is due.
Speaker 1: And it seems like that's gonna happen. Now the question
Speaker 1: becomes Greg Rosenthal. Who will he be traded to? The
Speaker 1: Raiders are jumping out there is a name to watch here.
Speaker 1: The the Titoons are gonna be jumping out there. We
Speaker 1: heard them as a possibility. The Jets and Cardinals were
Speaker 1: making a phone call, we heard, but rap Sheet says
Speaker 1: they are out of the competition. What are you hearing
Speaker 1: Greg nothing other than what's reported out there. But I
Speaker 1: think if you put it all together, I think you
Speaker 1: can hear things beneath the surface. All right, let's add
Speaker 1: let's add the things. Ian and Schefter are both saying
Speaker 1: this is happening by Friday, So that tells me the
Speaker 1: Steelers have an offer in hand that they already beat
Speaker 1: it are willing to accept. There's also people dropping out.
Speaker 1: There's a little whist. Why did your hand get so
Speaker 1: close to me there? You know I love touching you.
Speaker 1: And then there was another report that said it's basically
Speaker 1: a one team race. So who could this one team be?
Speaker 1: M who's the most desperate, who's willing to take a chance,
Speaker 1: who has the most first round picks? It's the Oakland Raiders.
Speaker 1: Why would you ever put a deadline in on it?
Speaker 1: Otherwise outside of the the guaranteed bonus thing that's coming
Speaker 1: to like, I think what Greg's saying, they like what
Speaker 1: they have. I'm saying, unless you already loved the offer
Speaker 1: right that's in place, you would never put a deadline
Speaker 1: on this. Left three couple of days and then we're
Speaker 1: ready to make a move because as an organization, we
Speaker 1: are ready to turn the page and get rolling towards
Speaker 1: this twenty nineteen season, and Antonio Brown needs to be
Speaker 1: out of our life forever. It's a huge upset if
Speaker 1: it's not the Raiders, because the other team that I
Speaker 1: thought that needs to make a splash and probably save
Speaker 1: the GM's job is the Jets, and they're out of
Speaker 1: the race. According to reports, they're not in the race.
Speaker 1: And I just simply don't buy the Titans as a
Speaker 1: team that's going to do that pull this kind of
Speaker 1: thing off. Can I tell you the Titans, I gotta
Speaker 1: Titoons fans. I have to say I like you guys
Speaker 1: a lot. I made a tweet that I rode tweet
Speaker 1: that if if um he ends up playing with Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariota Antonio Brown, they'll be sending love letter emails to
Speaker 1: Big Bend by week eight. And it was fine. It
Speaker 1: was you know, it's fine. It could be minus tweet,
Speaker 1: But the amount of anger that came back at me
Speaker 1: from Nashville and the surrounding area was quite frankly impressive.
Speaker 1: And I just want to make it clear to the
Speaker 1: audience listening from that area that although I do not
Speaker 1: like your team or your quarterback, quite frankly, I like
Speaker 1: you guys, you're passionate. They are almost as insecure as
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans see. I don't want even want to say
Speaker 1: that they're they're defending their team, but that's your opinions. Hey, Look,
Speaker 1: the Titans to me are interesting team. A lot of
Speaker 1: people don't find them interesting, but the fans ability to
Speaker 1: kind of gauge that team is wanting better than not caring.
Speaker 1: There are fan bases that so they don't care. Anyway.
Speaker 1: They should be annoyed with their own offense. They shouldn't
Speaker 1: be defending a quarterback to through what twelve touchdowns last year.
Speaker 1: I I totally agree with you, Marcum. Marcus Mariot has
Speaker 1: got a lot to When you have you're a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: you'd much rather play with Big Ben than Marcus. When
Speaker 1: you have like that first round pick or the guy
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr, you know that you give the money
Speaker 1: to you irrationally support him until the moment where he's
Speaker 1: no longer necessary, and then you realize it drives. I
Speaker 1: had been confused. I had been like tricking myself all
Speaker 1: these years, and I do wonder, like, who's if if
Speaker 1: Brown does go to the Raiders who's going to be
Speaker 1: thrown him the ball. I mean there's a lot of
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray John Gruden talking like, Wow, how crazy and
Speaker 1: different could their team be if it's Kyler Murray thrown
Speaker 1: it to Antonio Brown. I mean, Dan, you and I
Speaker 1: have supported some pretty insanely low quality Jets Brown's quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: There was an off season where we were fired up
Speaker 1: beyond comprehension about Brandon Weeden on this guy on this show.
Speaker 1: This is the under that American flag. This is the
Speaker 1: die hard fan move. You complain for years. The ex
Speaker 1: player does not get enough credit nationally, doesn't get any exposure.
Speaker 1: As soon as he's cut. That guy was overrated. We
Speaker 1: never liked him. He had weaknesses. The Brandon just I
Speaker 1: didn't want to get too far down the Brandon Weeden track,
Speaker 1: but I will say one of my favorite moments of
Speaker 1: the past ten years professional football in terms of physical
Speaker 1: like a symbol uh in real life it's just like
Speaker 1: right in front of you, is when Brandon Weeden got
Speaker 1: trapped underneath a red flag. Yeah, like this was his
Speaker 1: first ever NFL game. I was. It was just one
Speaker 1: of the most embarrassing moments in our office because it
Speaker 1: started getting flushed everywhere on social media. Although I mean
Speaker 1: it's it was more embarrassing thing because like he's one
Speaker 1: of the great Americans and so it's just all like
Speaker 1: made sense. Derek Carr currently the quarterback of the Raiders.
Speaker 1: He would welcome Antonio Brown. I would imagine he's definitely
Speaker 1: in play. Car told de Fresno by at a charity event.
Speaker 1: I hope he's in play. It would be great to
Speaker 1: add a guy like that, uh to your team. Now
Speaker 1: let's spend forward here. Maybe Kyler Murray is the Raiders quarterback,
Speaker 1: like you're saying, maybe not maybe maybe impossible to get
Speaker 1: him if if the Cardinals are saying on right, maybe
Speaker 1: the Cardinals take him at number one overall. Kyler Murray. However,
Speaker 1: this is a really fun, interesting um wrinkle. Now to
Speaker 1: the conversation, and it came from our own airwaves NFL network.
Speaker 1: There's no Nolan the Rocky anymore to throughout those like
Speaker 1: Haymaker assessments. I don't know what he's up to, but
Speaker 1: he's not throwing the Haymakers anymore. That everybody gets fired
Speaker 1: up on Chaz Castle. He is not the first guy
Speaker 1: that I would have guessed would step into that role.
Speaker 1: But on NFL Network Airway was on Tuesday, he made
Speaker 1: a comment about Kyler Murray's combine performance and it was wild.
Speaker 1: Let's listen in Well you better whole. Kingsbury takes him
Speaker 1: number one because this was not good. This was the
Speaker 1: worst comments I ever got on a high rated quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I've been doing this a long time. I'm probably
Speaker 1: doing it long and you're alive anyway. Yes, it is leadership. Yes,
Speaker 1: leadership not good. Okay, study habits not good. The boardwork
Speaker 1: blow not good, not good at all in any of
Speaker 1: those areas, see and and grace. Concerns about what this
Speaker 1: guy is gonna do. Now people will say, well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna compare him to my homes. We're gonna run an
Speaker 1: offense like Waholmes. We're gonna run an offense like Bacon Mayfield.
Speaker 1: Well you can, and by the way, Friday, tune in
Speaker 1: up to minute. I'll show you the offense you're gonna
Speaker 1: run with this guy. It is possible. You don't remember.
Speaker 1: There used to be now unfortunately they're all gone. But
Speaker 1: the last living World War One participant, the last person
Speaker 1: alive from the Civil War and now World War Two.
Speaker 1: You're the greatest generation. This is the last person standing.
Speaker 1: Chaz Castle is the last man saying in conversation, I
Speaker 1: said he's the last man. I can swear that started
Speaker 1: as a bit about him, and then it's actually his lingo,
Speaker 1: it's his jargon, so it's real. But the worst this
Speaker 1: is whattive. I love that guy. This is the quote,
Speaker 1: the worst comments I've ever gotten on a high rated quarterback.
Speaker 1: And there's a west a lot of blowback towards Charlie
Speaker 1: and then people uh like h Murray's college coach telling
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick that everyone he talked to said that the
Speaker 1: kid was great in his interview process. But one thing Wes.
Speaker 1: We've been working with Charlie for many years. He does
Speaker 1: his homework, he has a background in this league, he's
Speaker 1: got rings, he's got the respect, and he talks to
Speaker 1: the right people. I've heard him through the door of
Speaker 1: conference rooms. I don't don't tell him that, but having
Speaker 1: hardcore conversations with GMS, uh, this is not coming out
Speaker 1: of his own mind. This is not his imagination. We'll
Speaker 1: get back to Dan Patrick in a minute, but I agree,
Speaker 1: Like when we're in the newsroom and Charlie's there, you
Speaker 1: hear him because he spends his whole time on the
Speaker 1: phone talking to his sources this I have a hard
Speaker 1: time believing he's making this up, of course, and he's not.
Speaker 1: And n Jay Advanced Media has spoken to a coach
Speaker 1: and two scouts who back this up, saying all three
Speaker 1: of them saying he's immature. Kyler Murray is immature, one
Speaker 1: of them saying he's nowhere close to Baker Mayfield and
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on the whiteboard. And speaking of Dan Patrick,
Speaker 1: I heard an interview. I saw an interview with Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray a month ago that was the most immature interview
Speaker 1: I've seen by a quarterback prospect. Dan Patrick asked him
Speaker 1: about football and baseball in a very respectful way for
Speaker 1: for two or three straight minutes, and Kyler Murray just
Speaker 1: shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. He just he
Speaker 1: had no answer for anything he had been told or
Speaker 1: decided he wasn't going to talk about that issue. He
Speaker 1: didn't even say to Dan Patrick, I'd rather not speak
Speaker 1: about this, like I like, reserve the right to make
Speaker 1: my opinion. He'd a strugg I have no takeaways from
Speaker 1: like his media and all of this stuff. That stuff
Speaker 1: on the board. To me, I think is a concern.
Speaker 1: And these teams are going to get him in their
Speaker 1: building and they're gonna have more than fifteen minutes. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have a whole day with him, and they can
Speaker 1: they can figure that out. And it doesn't surprise me
Speaker 1: in a league where in a time of year where
Speaker 1: people were hammering Josh Rose in a year ago, is oh,
Speaker 1: is he too smart? Or like? The difference Like, it
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise if you ever were watched Murray in an interview,
Speaker 1: not just that Dan Patrick or even the press conference,
Speaker 1: it's like he's not an inspiring, you know, public speaker,
Speaker 1: flat affect. I don't really care about that. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks that are that are like that. It's
Speaker 1: like whether you think he can grow and develop. He's
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old. It really only matters that
Speaker 1: the Cardinals think that number one. But it's it's it
Speaker 1: is important that for what Castle's report, he talked about
Speaker 1: it being how many teams two or more he said,
Speaker 1: which is that like we talked a little bit more
Speaker 1: than two, it's not twenty five. And now he's gonna
Speaker 1: keep talking to teams and that will be a more
Speaker 1: fleshed out report. But that's not a massive sample size,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's about a Sun team thinking this
Speaker 1: guy works for us. Josh Rosen's in the building still
Speaker 1: and uh the number ten overall pick last year available.
Speaker 1: Also coming from Charlie uh NFL Network yesterday that he
Speaker 1: had spoken uh to someone in the industry. You said,
Speaker 1: this guy is on the market. The Cardinals are trying
Speaker 1: to make a move, uh to move their number one
Speaker 1: pick of last year elsewhere, and you see it out there.
Speaker 1: Peter King wrote on Monday he spoke to a quote
Speaker 1: renowned GM who said, ah, maybe a three that's what
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen is worth. Uh, And maybe that's it. Maybe
Speaker 1: Mark that maybe that's what Josh Rosen is worth on
Speaker 1: the open market. And if so, if the Cardinals end
Speaker 1: up with Kylin Murray and he's a great player, everything
Speaker 1: works out. But if you end up getting a three
Speaker 1: back for a guy he took with a one and
Speaker 1: traded a three and a five the year before to
Speaker 1: get to move up to get the guy, oh that's
Speaker 1: shaky GM work by Steve the kid you draft this year.
Speaker 1: I think we're all of like mind of this because
Speaker 1: we've been pressed to discuss this topic multiple times today,
Speaker 1: but I will I. I just think that he's worth
Speaker 1: a three to some people. Now we don't know what
Speaker 1: every team wants him for, and I just think it's
Speaker 1: it says a lot about the quarterback market. Every year,
Speaker 1: there's eight or nine teams that are dying to find
Speaker 1: someone to play quarterback. This year, it's like Nick Foles
Speaker 1: is going to Jacksonville. Right, We've got We've got the
Speaker 1: Broncos right now have Flacco. You're down to three or
Speaker 1: four teams that are looking for a quarterback Dolphins. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's a team like the Patriots, you know, who use
Speaker 1: one of their picks? Are you trade or what I'm
Speaker 1: saying My point is the Patriots today aren't going to
Speaker 1: offer a restaurant pick. I I just unders don't understand
Speaker 1: why you need to. And I'm not saying they're trying
Speaker 1: to coddle Josh Rosen by getting him out of the
Speaker 1: building to prevent drama. But when you talk about these
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks that were traded for above value, like Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford to the Vikings, and that that deal for the
Speaker 1: Eagles has helped them get jag I helped them get
Speaker 1: liked work Barnett helped him to get Carson Wentz like
Speaker 1: that was a masterful trade, but that based on need.
Speaker 1: It happened days before week one when you laugh when
Speaker 1: the Vikings lost their startup, No one's in that position
Speaker 1: right now. I don't buy it. I mean maybe right now,
Speaker 1: I think as you get closer to draft, I think
Speaker 1: he'd be worth it first round pick or what today
Speaker 1: do you think is thinking let's give a first round Redskins.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's just he's not that quarterback. Charlie Castley
Speaker 1: who said he's the most important, uh, you know, person
Speaker 1: in your organization. See is your number one quarterback, the
Speaker 1: second most important person in backup quarterback, and the third
Speaker 1: most important person in your organization is your quarterbacks coach.
Speaker 1: He did, he did say that last year. That's a
Speaker 1: true story. Then find me the team that's giving a
Speaker 1: first for Josh Rosen right now as a backup quarter
Speaker 1: are a huge Charlie Castlely fence. We could his entire
Speaker 1: back catalog. We know every word he's ever seen. He's
Speaker 1: he's very nice to us. He once coached at my
Speaker 1: high school, Miniatog Regional about that, talking baseball with him
Speaker 1: on a regular basis for about six years. That price
Speaker 1: is gonna go up. Mark as the draft gets closer.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think free agency right now, You're right,
Speaker 1: no one's going to give that up. And I think
Speaker 1: once we get closer to April and it's a little
Speaker 1: more clear, I think that, well they probably will tonight.
Speaker 1: We just that's just what we're what we're guessing. I
Speaker 1: think no team is as desperate as the Redskins. In
Speaker 1: a hour, they might pay the first round pick right now.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting point, my my one thought and how
Speaker 1: this is all playing out, because it really is close
Speaker 1: to unprecedented. This is what they're about to do. Potentially,
Speaker 1: here go top ten, the number one overall, with a quarterback,
Speaker 1: with no major injury or anything crazy happening. Um, could
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have handled this process better in the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Yes, I don't know. It's almost impossible.
Speaker 1: I don't even totally believe that Rosen's gonna get traded yet. Well,
Speaker 1: hold on, I I do, but I but I would
Speaker 1: say this, don't come out with your owner and make
Speaker 1: these fiery statements how this will never happen when you
Speaker 1: don't have clearly, don't have buy in from everyone inside
Speaker 1: the building. That's how you can handle it better. This
Speaker 1: will make any announcement January. What I was My thought was, well,
Speaker 1: I thought it was unnecessary last week that Steve Kim
Speaker 1: did not get behind Rosen, and that led to a
Speaker 1: lot of conversation, and then of course Rosen, we don't
Speaker 1: know if it's connected or not. He goes and scrubs
Speaker 1: his Instagram Instagram account of all Cardinals, they're all back
Speaker 1: by the way, And it wasn't just all Cardinals and
Speaker 1: what it is we we were a little It was
Speaker 1: the previous two years, every single post. Not not that
Speaker 1: big deal. But I just I guess I'm curious if
Speaker 1: even if they would have said all the right things
Speaker 1: and kept this a possible interest or probable interest in
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray under their hat, once you pick up the
Speaker 1: phone and start calling people about Josh Rosen, that gets
Speaker 1: leaked out either way. So I didn't like how Calm
Speaker 1: handled it last week, But did it ultimately? Could they
Speaker 1: have changed this uh in any way and not made
Speaker 1: it such a soap opera which is starting to feel
Speaker 1: like that way. Maybe not, because it's just the plot
Speaker 1: of the soap opera. Is so juicy to trade your
Speaker 1: number one guy and then drafted number one guy. It's
Speaker 1: hard to kind of tiptoe around that if you look
Speaker 1: at it like Steve Coime's number one priority is to
Speaker 1: find out to basically keep all options open with the
Speaker 1: number one pick. That's his number one priority. Then the
Speaker 1: second priority is find out exactly what Josh Rosen's value is,
Speaker 1: because that's part of keeping all your up options open.
Speaker 1: To me, that that makes sense how he's approached. Are
Speaker 1: they're changing it as a team right now though on
Speaker 1: their team website they have a you know, a show
Speaker 1: that's debating Kyler Murray and Josh Rosen. That's on Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com. They're they're putting up Artistles Kingsbury said,
Speaker 1: no decision has been made for number one pick, which
Speaker 1: is obvious enough, but that's just you know, allowing that, hey,
Speaker 1: we might take a quarterback. So it's already changed. I
Speaker 1: think from a couple of weeks, I just say, don't
Speaker 1: set the table with this holier than now. Announce Smith
Speaker 1: that you would never ever trade USh Rosen from your owner,
Speaker 1: and then everything since it's totally different, believe in you
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen he can still get it done, your big
Speaker 1: upgrade from Sam Bradford made some nice throws last year.
Speaker 1: I don't think the coach thinks that he's the better
Speaker 1: fit of the two. That's a huge issue. Just rep
Speaker 1: in the tribe here. I mean, I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 1: I did go I did watch all the quarterbacks before
Speaker 1: last year's draft, and he was the one that threw
Speaker 1: the prettiest ball, and I thought had kind of like
Speaker 1: the skill set that most obviously translated. Are you or
Speaker 1: are you not repping the tribe? Tribe? Tribe it up?
Speaker 1: After one year in the NFL. Hasn't been to synagogue
Speaker 1: in like, I've never been to a synagogue. I was
Speaker 1: not really um raised in any religious fashion whatsoever. Well,
Speaker 1: that is a stunt or two David for the Theology Podcast.
Speaker 1: Not even once. Wouldn't you say right now that Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield throws a prettier ball? Of course? All right, let's
Speaker 1: move on. Uh some notable cuts. Eric Weddle no longer
Speaker 1: a part of the Baltimore Ravens and there um plan
Speaker 1: going forward the safety let go after a couple of years,
Speaker 1: there Um West, did this surprise you at all? No,
Speaker 1: it's been whispered about for a few weeks. Um. Really
Speaker 1: since the end of the season. He went from six
Speaker 1: interceptions and eight passes defense last year to zero interceptions
Speaker 1: and three passes or in two thousand seventeen to zero
Speaker 1: and three last year, so his playmaking ability drop off
Speaker 1: a cliff. Now he's one of those guys that you
Speaker 1: hear about. Um, there might only be you know, eight
Speaker 1: to ten of these guys in the league where he's
Speaker 1: the quarterback of your defense to the point where he
Speaker 1: gets everybody in the position there's supposed to be in
Speaker 1: and their scheme works because of his intelligence. So he
Speaker 1: may be one of those guys, But how much do
Speaker 1: you pay for that? It's thirty four years old, just
Speaker 1: turned thirty four in January, which is not not an
Speaker 1: age that you see a lot at that position. We
Speaker 1: ranked him, i think forty right now in our top
Speaker 1: one one. The problem is there's so many safeties out there.
Speaker 1: Landon Collins is out there, which we'll talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, uh haha, Clinton Dick is down on the list.
Speaker 1: But you also have La Marcus, Joiner, Tyrane, Matthew, Adrian
Speaker 1: Amos who has had some big gears Adrian Films. I
Speaker 1: mean it's like, if you need a safety, they're available,
Speaker 1: and Wells kind of at the end of that line,
Speaker 1: I think. Also, the Cleveland Browns made a move on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: They released Jamie Collins. This is another move you had
Speaker 1: heard whispers about, maybe even louder than whispers. Uh. He
Speaker 1: was due ten and a half million this year. He's
Speaker 1: entering his age thirty season. Uh. This brown save over
Speaker 1: nine million dollars in cap space. Um. They traded for
Speaker 1: Collins from the Pats in Mark gave him a huge contract,
Speaker 1: but he never really filled what they were looking for. Diddy,
Speaker 1: I mean, the previous regime traded for him as what
Speaker 1: I thought to be a They got him for not
Speaker 1: too much draftwise, then paid him a lot of money
Speaker 1: as what was to be sort of a foundational piece
Speaker 1: for their defense. And the whispers last season where that
Speaker 1: this was someone whose effort is just not matching the salary.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think John Dorsey came in and
Speaker 1: he's looking for a very specific type of player when
Speaker 1: it comes to passionate about the game. He says that
Speaker 1: every single time he talks about scouting and free agency
Speaker 1: and is that is that Jamie Collins. I don't know
Speaker 1: we talked about he was gonna talk to Jamie Collins
Speaker 1: camp at the combine. I would assume they probably said,
Speaker 1: look at if you want to take a restructure or
Speaker 1: a pay cut, we can work things out otherwise see
Speaker 1: you later. And that obviously did not go well, and
Speaker 1: he's gone. I remember when Chris Collins were said he
Speaker 1: might be the most talented defensive player in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Was early, uh in the season, he was like playing
Speaker 1: really well, and I mean I was each season. I
Speaker 1: think it was twenty and he was coming off of
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the same thing, like, Wow, the
Speaker 1: DoD the Patriots have this like generational superstar. And so
Speaker 1: he never turned into that. Like if we we could
Speaker 1: have made his little blurb in the top one oh one,
Speaker 1: he's fine to use your quote, Dan Quick, The Brown's
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator, Steve Wilkes correct yes. Within hours of
Speaker 1: the Jamie Collins announcement, the Cardinals released linebacker Josh Bindes,
Speaker 1: who was the best linebacker in Arizona last year, and
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes defense. So maybe connecting the dots, Josh Bonds
Speaker 1: is going to replace Jennets. The Rams have made a
Speaker 1: move as well. They cut inside linebacker Mark Barron, he
Speaker 1: had two years left on his deal, save some money
Speaker 1: for the Rams. He was a starter, he played a lot,
Speaker 1: He played almost every down for their defense. But ultimately
Speaker 1: the Rams aside the cost is not worth um keeping
Speaker 1: him around. Greg. Yeah, and they also didn't pick up
Speaker 1: the option, which is basically cutting John Sullivan their starting center.
Speaker 1: I think Rams fans are a little overly concerned that
Speaker 1: they have a lot of starting spots open. Roger Staffold's
Speaker 1: expected to leave. He's great. So that's two starting offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: You have Sue maybe leaving Fowler Joiner. That's a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a lot. I'm not worried to
Speaker 1: put it just the spin on this week's news about
Speaker 1: replacing Mark Barron for the salary that he was getting
Speaker 1: or John Sullivan. Baron was kind of legendary for never
Speaker 1: being able to practice and like barely being able to
Speaker 1: move during the week, and then he was like a
Speaker 1: badass on Sundays. But he's not a guy who you
Speaker 1: want to keep around. I think long term guys. Steve
Speaker 1: Weisch has had a lot of Rams info and in
Speaker 1: addition to saying that Roger Staffeld is expected to leave.
Speaker 1: He also said the same thing about Sue that the
Speaker 1: Rams believe his market is going to be too rich
Speaker 1: for them. Timmy Journey had also let go by the Eagles.
Speaker 1: He had an eleven million dollar option for nineteen UM.
Speaker 1: This saves the Eagles money. They need it because their
Speaker 1: cap is pretty tight right now. Uh. Jenkins is just
Speaker 1: twenty six, had a lot of injury issues last year.
Speaker 1: He could make some money. He can. And I've noted
Speaker 1: this is a pretty strong trend that the Eagles and
Speaker 1: other teams are getting good at. Is they put these
Speaker 1: options in and they don't pick it up, and now
Speaker 1: they get a compensatory pick when Journegan leaves instead of
Speaker 1: just cutting him. Smart next level. That's what teams are
Speaker 1: now copying. Let's talk some tag all right, we know
Speaker 1: six guys got tagged. They are Greg off the top
Speaker 1: of your head, Robbie gold One, Marcus Lawrence, So Frank
Speaker 1: clark Ford Clowney, Who am I forgetting? You say to
Speaker 1: Mark Lawrence, Grady Grady jar Jared. That's a tough one,
Speaker 1: but that's good five at six and I should have
Speaker 1: been four kicker and a inter Your guy who rushes
Speaker 1: You're not sleeping tonight, are you. I'm not proud? Wow.
Speaker 1: Uh any of those guys get tag who didn't get tag?
Speaker 1: C J. Mosley? So the Ravens were busy. Um they
Speaker 1: cut wet All and made the decision not to tag
Speaker 1: uh C J. Mosley, But apparently they are interested in
Speaker 1: bringing back Potentially he's gonna hit the market though. Uh
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers of the Patriots not tagged one of their
Speaker 1: best maybe Greg their best defensive player, annoying us about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love three Flowers. I think he he gets a
Speaker 1: lot of love for being underrated at this point. But
Speaker 1: to me, he's been so valuable. He's not really an
Speaker 1: ed rusher. He's more of a three four defensive end
Speaker 1: or four or three defensive tag. He's like Mike. You
Speaker 1: compared him to Michael Bennett West West, which I thought
Speaker 1: was a great comparison. And I just think they haven't
Speaker 1: been able to find defensive lineman to you know, that's
Speaker 1: been a problem for them, and they finally found one.
Speaker 1: And now I think he's gonna leave because rap She's
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna make seventeen million a year, and I
Speaker 1: don't think they're paying that. That would be wild. I mean,
Speaker 1: we killed the Giants for letting someone like Landon Collins go,
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are essentially doing the same thing with
Speaker 1: a very productive player that they're letting walk. Six million
Speaker 1: dollar difference in terms of the tags. Landing cons was
Speaker 1: at eleven, which made it even weirder that the Giants
Speaker 1: aren't letting him go. But yeah, I I I doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like Patriots. Let's agree with this. I think they
Speaker 1: should have tagged. Let's see how it plays out, because
Speaker 1: they do have a history. Danta High Tower. A couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, y Devin mccordy, the Jets gave Danta cupcakes.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that? That was said? And then
Speaker 1: he just went the Patriots gauge of the market. They
Speaker 1: saw what Danta was really worth on the open market.
Speaker 1: They said, oh, we could pay that. Let's bring him back.
Speaker 1: I want Trey Flowers to be gone because he as
Speaker 1: a guy who was a major part of that defense.
Speaker 1: But I'll believe it when I see it when he
Speaker 1: signs elsewhere. He's one of the big reasons that you're
Speaker 1: able to like change what you do from week to week,
Speaker 1: change the front put a five man front against the Rams,
Speaker 1: but do a two man front other weeks like he
Speaker 1: can do anything and that's why he bums me out.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think he will leave because I think
Speaker 1: the rest of the league will see his value in
Speaker 1: a way that they didn't do. We believe at all
Speaker 1: that the Jets um in those cupcakes. I mean, do
Speaker 1: you attentionally maybe sort of Rufi Dante how Tie or
Speaker 1: to like either get him to sign or to go out.
Speaker 1: He really he really loves cupcakes, so they made him cupcakes.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's also choose not to go too
Speaker 1: deep into the history on this because it's painful, but
Speaker 1: I think it was just like a cute little thing
Speaker 1: they were doing for him with the green cupcakes, and
Speaker 1: he was like, Oh, I'll eat your cupcakes and then
Speaker 1: I'll go back to your best related story involving the
Speaker 1: Jets though, is was it Mohammed Wilkerson or who was
Speaker 1: the one who did not show up to his own birthday?
Speaker 1: Was the birthday cake Jets complex the Five Towers birthday.
Speaker 1: To give a little back, the Jets need to a
Speaker 1: new bakery. They should build one in Flora Park and
Speaker 1: just get the best people in the country to take
Speaker 1: it over. Don't go well, and these pastries have to improve.
Speaker 1: They gotta lift the game to help anyway. So um
Speaker 1: C J. Mosley, we mentioned Landon Collins, We mentioned he
Speaker 1: seems to definitely be playing elsewhere West and you think
Speaker 1: he'll make a team better. I do. I think I
Speaker 1: don't buy this talk to because he's in the box
Speaker 1: safety plays near the line of scrimmage. Is not valuable
Speaker 1: because I think that Derwin James and Jamal Adams are
Speaker 1: the two most coveted safeties in the NFL right now
Speaker 1: and they both play near then. And also think connect
Speaker 1: the dots once again. Steve Steve Spagnolo, former Giants coordinator
Speaker 1: where larrdn and Collins did his best work under him,
Speaker 1: is now the Chiefs defensive coordinator. I could see them
Speaker 1: reuniting in Kansas City. Some whispers Indianapolis could be interested.
Speaker 1: He would match well, I think with Malik Hooker absolutely
Speaker 1: who is there? And so, yeah, I'm with you that
Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid. Well, I just don't there's something wrong. Okay,
Speaker 1: he doesn't fit that scheme, I guess, or they're they're
Speaker 1: not into Collins. Whatever. He that a one year, one
Speaker 1: eleven million dollar contract is a bargain for him ultimately,
Speaker 1: and they're paying alec Ogle Tree more than that. They
Speaker 1: gave up two draft picks for alec Ogle Tree. It's
Speaker 1: like they're you know, they're paying Eli double that. So
Speaker 1: just that ain't the way to do business. Name a
Speaker 1: team that has a a roster on defense is as
Speaker 1: ugly as the Giants right now, I think, and has
Speaker 1: been outside of a couple like you try attempted to
Speaker 1: build a star secondary for a while out for years.
Speaker 1: When's the last time they had a dominant un Can
Speaker 1: you name anyone in their second I mean the Raiders,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you really want to, I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: It's not the fort Now. They could have traded Landon
Speaker 1: Collins last year and they just I don't know. To me, well,
Speaker 1: it's hard to come out of a team at the
Speaker 1: combine that seemed a little bit more not of one mind,
Speaker 1: a little more muddled than the Giants, and and I
Speaker 1: know that that's a very prideful fan base, but it's
Speaker 1: like you have to look and wonder what the team's
Speaker 1: plans are for this season, and beyond the Redskins, there's
Speaker 1: not many I don't know, you're right and West. Finally
Speaker 1: your boy Marcus Hunt not going anywhere. The Cults lock
Speaker 1: him up with a two year deal. Marcus Hunt, who
Speaker 1: was I think a top ten defensive lineman in the
Speaker 1: NFL lish you, I mean started out getting after passers.
Speaker 1: When he was playing more defensive end. They moved him
Speaker 1: to nose tackle or the nose in their four three
Speaker 1: scheme halfway through the year. Then he started taking two
Speaker 1: blockers and Daniko Autry started making the plays that Morgus
Speaker 1: Hunt did. This guy was a great player. List Well,
Speaker 1: they got him at a bargain then, because it's two years,
Speaker 1: nine million, and it's a nice it's a nice story
Speaker 1: for Hunt, who was a really engaging character on Hard
Speaker 1: Knocks back in the day with the Bengals. And it
Speaker 1: took you had a great Schwarzenegger I think he did.
Speaker 1: It took him a while. He's another success story for
Speaker 1: Henry Hudson and and the International Player program took him
Speaker 1: a little while to get going. I mean, he's thirty
Speaker 1: two years old, but he really built into this career
Speaker 1: and uh, he's a star. I mean another success story.
Speaker 1: Sounds like there's this cavalcade of players coming from foreign nations.
Speaker 1: It is a success. I mean it's a nice more
Speaker 1: on the belt, more and more. Not doubting that, but
Speaker 1: it's just let's not act like you know, we called
Speaker 1: an entire roster notch on the bedpost for Henry Well.
Speaker 1: Did you see Henry's nfl uk Hank uh handsome Hank
Speaker 1: on the Dave Damask Football Program. Have you seen his
Speaker 1: instagram hanging out with Russell Wilson. He is as part
Speaker 1: of part of his job, he is escorting Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: and Ciarra to Carnival in Brazil, and there's these great
Speaker 1: pictures of them just like all hanging out, like Russell
Speaker 1: will My favorite thing is Russell Wilson just has his
Speaker 1: his arms so casually on Ben Liebenberg, our friend who's
Speaker 1: also a photographer's, and it's just like they're just old
Speaker 1: buddies at this point. They've been through things. They've been
Speaker 1: through Brazil together, old Russe and leaves. Imagine trying to
Speaker 1: have like an interesting conversation with Russell Wilson over dinner. Well,
Speaker 1: we tempted to interview him for one of our shows,
Speaker 1: and that that request was softly was decited to leave
Speaker 1: that open. It was actually accepted. It was accepted, and
Speaker 1: then there were conditions placed on it. And then it
Speaker 1: was conditions that did not want the four of us
Speaker 1: to be part of the interview. So that to me says,
Speaker 1: we don't want to be part of your show. Anyways.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. All right, jealous of you, Henry.
Speaker 1: He's got a nice life. Let's I mean, well, let's
Speaker 1: break down Henry tall, handsome, British, um, British accent throwing
Speaker 1: into tall, handsome, well educated. He's from Oxford. Um, great family.
Speaker 1: I know his wife, Emily, the kids, great dad, great dad.
Speaker 1: I could talk to anyone in any situation. He's moving
Speaker 1: up the ladder, he really, really, he's moved up the
Speaker 1: ladder here. However, he did make the mistake in West
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a warning here. He had the
Speaker 1: third child. It did change of the game. You just
Speaker 1: stop it too, all right, I'm too old. They have
Speaker 1: three children, but he's in Brazil. Russell Wilson, and I
Speaker 1: hope his third child doesn't listen to this podcast. Well,
Speaker 1: it's nothing against young Alphie. He was just more, you know.
Speaker 1: And he's got a kid name Alfie's he's the great British.
Speaker 1: He's like five ft one already. All right, Ricky, how
Speaker 1: are you feeling by the way hanging in there? You
Speaker 1: are dying? Yeah? No, I'm getting better because you've got
Speaker 1: a big trip across the pond coming up. Timed up
Speaker 1: really well with free agency? Um? Are you timed up
Speaker 1: well with? We have what two NFL dot com video
Speaker 1: shows next week, a Twitter show and pretty much like
Speaker 1: the highest you know, downloads of the year next week. Hey,
Speaker 1: but I'll be with you know you're a big part
Speaker 1: of the fan base over in the UK listening there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do want to. I would love to see some
Speaker 1: Instagram people. You're in Ireland, right, that's one of our
Speaker 1: bigger markets overseas, Scotland, Ireland and London. I'm jealous. I
Speaker 1: wish I could bet against you ever turning on our
Speaker 1: podcast while you're Europe? Will you actually? A comical pot
Speaker 1: will be out at the bars. I'm sure you're gonna
Speaker 1: be hit up by a lot of listeners, so that
Speaker 1: might absorb some of your time. America is going to
Speaker 1: get back from her trip in two weeks and back.
Speaker 1: When does free agency start? What is free agency? All? Right,
Speaker 1: feel better, Ricky, al Right, here we go. Here's the segment.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. It's so perfect, I don't want
Speaker 1: to touch it, but I'm gonna do it. Here is
Speaker 1: a new segment called d M a g M. D
Speaker 1: M is lingo internally among youth culture for direct message
Speaker 1: on Twitter and people, what do they do? They creep
Speaker 1: into the d ms, don't they, Ricky? Slide you slide
Speaker 1: right in and sometimes, and especially a woman in sports
Speaker 1: media like yourself, Erica, not always welcome when people slide in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of times, there's a lot of slides that
Speaker 1: are good. You wish they just keep sliding right by you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just slip on right back. A lot of our listeners
Speaker 1: think that that's just like an acceptable things. Well it's not.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is too, is they're like, hey, sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be like some of these other
Speaker 1: creepy guys, but but that doesn't work. Yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: an if you're if that qualifier doesn't pass, if you're
Speaker 1: ever gonna thread the needle somehow, and you know, like
Speaker 1: hit that fort shot, you gotta come in with confidence.
Speaker 1: And that's not it exactly because when you try to
Speaker 1: separate yourself, you just lump yourself in even more. Favorite
Speaker 1: one of mine is that I'll get a bunch like
Speaker 1: answering stories or something and you just whatever, and then
Speaker 1: someone will be like, well that's not working. Then they'll
Speaker 1: be like, hey, like what camera do you shoot on?
Speaker 1: Like all of a sudden, I'm gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what I love like the nikon. We just
Speaker 1: started a new segment where, um, it's too short notice
Speaker 1: to hit you up with this now, but maybe just
Speaker 1: like pull out a d M everyonce a while, we
Speaker 1: don't have to say who it's from, just like or
Speaker 1: you can failed slides with segment is a definite keeper.
Speaker 1: Here we go. We're diving in d M a g M.
Speaker 1: So in this seg Um West and I co created
Speaker 1: a underful uh in in theory app um you know
Speaker 1: where it allows all the general managers in football UH
Speaker 1: two connect with each other in a private manner. Uh
Speaker 1: And it's how business would get done in the future,
Speaker 1: and everyone would have it right there on their smartphones.
Speaker 1: So it's just everyone's connected. It's like being at the
Speaker 1: combine at all times. It's it's perfect. It's functionally perfect.
Speaker 1: Now in this seg you're gonna need a lot of
Speaker 1: security on that. Absolutely, it's a duo. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a what are they called a push to push duo
Speaker 1: push double note push notification. Probably one of listeners know
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Now to push notification is pretty
Speaker 1: well known industry for a good factor authenticated. Now Dan
Speaker 1: cannot run this is this is don't worry. We got geeks.
Speaker 1: We got geeks on the case. Also, Wes and I
Speaker 1: just like a subreddit. Uh, there are moderators and West
Speaker 1: and I are the moderators and we have given you
Speaker 1: guys as well access to get inside. Uh the app.
Speaker 1: Can we put Greeby on it? Greeby's in there, Yes,
Speaker 1: because he runs the show the Around the NFL subread
Speaker 1: and we love him for it. Now, Uh, we will
Speaker 1: use this access to d M a g M slide
Speaker 1: right in. Don't be creepy, just hit him up with
Speaker 1: some advice with free agency just a week away. Mark,
Speaker 1: slide into a GM bro, I know this GM wa
Speaker 1: slid my, but slide into a DM. Do not slide
Speaker 1: into a GM. Do not do that. No, that would
Speaker 1: be that would be unadvised. Um, simone would be very
Speaker 1: d m a g M. That also was not I
Speaker 1: did not say that you did I that is not
Speaker 1: my intention. But this GM I know already trust me
Speaker 1: because he trusted me to have about a How is
Speaker 1: work today? Mark? I slid into a GM? Why not? Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead? Why am I? Larry? Those are great? Carter?
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take that out. All right, there
Speaker 1: we go, Mark, I am not going first anymore. Someone
Speaker 1: else can go. All right, yes, get us going. I'm
Speaker 1: signing them. Oh, with the following message, you know what
Speaker 1: to do. Go get that kitty pass, Rob sure for
Speaker 1: Mike Patton d Ford is your man? Oh no, alright?
Speaker 1: D Ford tagged but maybe not a future in Kansas City?
Speaker 1: Why is he the solution for the Packers? Packers have
Speaker 1: an extra first round pick. They have the Saints pick Um,
Speaker 1: so they could give up a second round or and
Speaker 1: still feel very good about where they stand. Um Clay
Speaker 1: Matthews is a free agent. Nick Perry is a candidate
Speaker 1: for release. They combined for about four and a half
Speaker 1: sacks last year this defense. And we know from reading
Speaker 1: Collision Low Crossers that Mike Petton loves his giddy pass
Speaker 1: Rusher loves him, and there aren't many guys in in
Speaker 1: the NFL with a quicker first step or quicker get off,
Speaker 1: as they say, than Dee Brown. Go get him Goody
Speaker 1: also told in Damil Not Like This rap Sheet on
Speaker 1: the rap Sheet and Friends podcast that the Packers because
Speaker 1: they were active last year after not being active in
Speaker 1: free agency forever, and he said, we're going to be
Speaker 1: more active this time around. That's what they want to do,
Speaker 1: depending on who's who's out there. Also, I think I
Speaker 1: said Dee Brown, who famously pumped up his rebox and
Speaker 1: then covered his eyes with his elbow and people thought
Speaker 1: it was one of the greatest dakes dunks in history.
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, he won the Slam Dunk title nine one.
Speaker 1: Maybe formerly Greg's favorite player. I once had a Changing
Speaker 1: of the Guard poster above my bed and it was
Speaker 1: Dee Brown. No, I was Brian Shaw, and I think
Speaker 1: it was Brian Sean Dee Brown Bright. No, he would
Speaker 1: have been might have been Reggie Lewis, And either way,
Speaker 1: I love Brown because that was You know, when you're
Speaker 1: a fan of a bad team, it's like the slam
Speaker 1: Dunk contest is exciting. All right, Mark, We're gonna come
Speaker 1: back to you. Now and again. I was not making
Speaker 1: any inference about your relationship with any general manner. No,
Speaker 1: it's more just attempting to get two sentences out in
Speaker 1: a row without everyone walking over you. I was just
Speaker 1: what I was manused, factured, thank you. I was correcting myself.
Speaker 1: That's all to fully understand the timeline, appreciate. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to upset you. I was trying to
Speaker 1: make make make things better. I think we're good. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead. I this GM is not gonna want to
Speaker 1: hear from me, because there was a time at a
Speaker 1: couple owners meetings ago where he walked up to a
Speaker 1: table that I was at and found me in a
Speaker 1: very engaged conversation with his lovely wife, and we were
Speaker 1: talking about schools and education and in a move and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and he kind of just said, like,
Speaker 1: who is this guy? And she's like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: Mark from NFL dot com. And he just thought, what
Speaker 1: has she been saying? I don't like this at all.
Speaker 1: He's a much taller than me and to sort of
Speaker 1: look to me and said scatter. That was sort of
Speaker 1: the look he gave. But in general couched in very
Speaker 1: much nicet. These Anyways, it is Jason Light from the Bucks.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna d M lickty and say, look forget all
Speaker 1: about all that. I want to help you out. You
Speaker 1: guys need some safety help. And there is the perfect
Speaker 1: addition for Bruce Arians and in his Tyra Matthew and
Speaker 1: his honey Badger, he is the Bruce Arians has been
Speaker 1: his champion from day one. That defense could use some
Speaker 1: help at the back end. That could use a guy
Speaker 1: like him. That is a excellent locker room dude. Give
Speaker 1: make the Bucks fun again. Change those uniforms. Please. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna add in my d M that's probably what I'm
Speaker 1: really writing you about. But take honey Badger and get
Speaker 1: it done. Here's my follow up to that, Mark honey Badger.
Speaker 1: Useful player with the Texans last year, but his honey
Speaker 1: Badger still difference maker. I think he can be I
Speaker 1: I don't. I think the injuries took their toll and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but you know the Texans want him
Speaker 1: back to That tells me all I want to know.
Speaker 1: I think he would upgrade what has been one of
Speaker 1: the worst positions in football, the Bucks safety. I mean,
Speaker 1: either no matter what, they should be happy, how good
Speaker 1: looking this safety group is in free agency and they
Speaker 1: should spend money. I mean, Jason Light, he's spending forty
Speaker 1: million dollars for Donovan Smith. Give me a break. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the three dots writing back park, stay away
Speaker 1: from my wife. I see that if he could have
Speaker 1: heard the conversation, it could have been. It couldn't have
Speaker 1: been a nicer chat. Why would I reveal that? You know,
Speaker 1: I was just just I mean, it's his it's his woman.
Speaker 1: He I think he was intimidated by me because she
Speaker 1: was very engaged and with the looking guy rolls over
Speaker 1: at a party with the cockdawn on his hand. He
Speaker 1: didn't want that. That has to be what he was
Speaker 1: concerned about. I'll throw it out there. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to use this, manipulate this to talk to
Speaker 1: the Jets decision maker Mike mccagnan, Big Mac and um,
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about Levy on Bell and that's great. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slide into the d M to the g
Speaker 1: M and say, hey, if you want to go get
Speaker 1: leave Bell. You know smart idea good job of that. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you can't, if the price is too big, go
Speaker 1: get Tevin Coleman. But whatever you do, you gotta pair
Speaker 1: whatever running back you get with the two best lineman
Speaker 1: on this market. You got the cash and you got
Speaker 1: the need, So go get Matt Paradise from the Broncos.
Speaker 1: Let's do do Let's do our medical check on that too.
Speaker 1: Let's make sure that legs okay. Jack, that is like
Speaker 1: pretty good apparently. Uh. And even John Elway at the
Speaker 1: combine made some comments along lines of he is a
Speaker 1: way to go, but maybe he's depressing his value. I
Speaker 1: would to put past John. There's negotiations for John. He
Speaker 1: would he would do something like that. But if Paradise
Speaker 1: is okay, go get the center. You've been looking for
Speaker 1: a center since my boy Nick Mangol walked out the door.
Speaker 1: Go get Roger Staffold, install him at guard. And the
Speaker 1: rest of the pieces on the Jets line are not terrible.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you've got a really good line.
Speaker 1: Pair it with the running back. Now you're cooking with
Speaker 1: grease and Sam Donald will be a better quarterback for it.
Speaker 1: Bye bye, Mike. Well. The one thing I'd say is
Speaker 1: that one of my favorite moments from the combine last
Speaker 1: week was watching Dan watched Mike mccagnet during Mike mccagnet's
Speaker 1: press or a where it was the look and I'd
Speaker 1: say this, I'm this is not a critique at all.
Speaker 1: It is the opposite of a genuine fan who within
Speaker 1: ten feet of his team's GM and still feeling all
Speaker 1: this hope, had the smile on his face that it
Speaker 1: was like from more like Jack hands this like a
Speaker 1: little boy just happy to see somewhat like Spiderman or
Speaker 1: Batman ten feet away. I like, I have to say,
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing about you in front
Speaker 1: of door see No Doubt and your boy Freddie. Um,
Speaker 1: I think it was funny you and Elie were staring
Speaker 1: at It was just it was it was you know
Speaker 1: that he said something that he said something that I
Speaker 1: h the moment where you saw me like smiling to
Speaker 1: myself there was some type of football related thing that
Speaker 1: I was like connecting the dots in my head. Um.
Speaker 1: But also it could have been I'm the luckiest boy
Speaker 1: in the world. I love. That's probably a little part
Speaker 1: of it. Even though they have a new coach, I
Speaker 1: feel like mcagnet needs to have some hits and he
Speaker 1: needs to do better than he's done it. Choosing free
Speaker 1: agent offensive lineman in the past. Kevin beacham fine. James
Speaker 1: Carpenter not so fine. I mean he's uh, it's tough
Speaker 1: to it's a tough position to rebuild. He does not
Speaker 1: in free agency, and he doesn't use the draft for
Speaker 1: um Lineman for whatever reason. Um listen, listen. This is
Speaker 1: a huge uh next, Yeah, it's a huge next eight
Speaker 1: weeks for the Cagnet who is out the door, flying
Speaker 1: out the door. If this team isn't a lot better
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, Greg, alright, I'm gonna gonna slide into
Speaker 1: old Chris Ballard's Okay, Well, thank you for clarifying that. Uh,
Speaker 1: great job at the combine. Chris, you know, not sure
Speaker 1: what Handsas has been getting at over the last few years.
Speaker 1: What I mean, you were there, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. You were fully a part of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not gonna this is dishonest. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna try to point that out though when I'm getting
Speaker 1: into pointed out in your first sentence to him, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to point out I'm not sure what Dan
Speaker 1: even isn't sure what he's been getting at. He's saying
Speaker 1: little things. But anyways, I sat the moderator of this app.
Speaker 1: I let you into this coveted area workspace and you're
Speaker 1: gonna drag me. Well, Luckily the security and the double
Speaker 1: fact out that you're not gonna be able to You're
Speaker 1: not especially like Chris, you know how you made it
Speaker 1: sound like you weren't gonna go wild in free agency,
Speaker 1: Like that's nice. Screw that sign. Landon Collins signed Tyrone
Speaker 1: Williams and used that extra second round pick you got
Speaker 1: from the Jets to go trade for d Ford. What's
Speaker 1: your favorite type of frog? And to answer your question,
Speaker 1: I go, I go Pacman Frock choice, actual type of
Speaker 1: great choice. Just do just go big, go big right
Speaker 1: now millions. At first it was just you know, Tyrrell
Speaker 1: and d Ford, but it might not throw in there.
Speaker 1: I think I think it would be fun. It's like
Speaker 1: these cap space it's meant to be spent. It's not
Speaker 1: meant to not spend. There's no long term plan. It's
Speaker 1: just do it. They're gonna those guys are young, they're
Speaker 1: gonna upgrade. Ford would be the biggest risk to me.
Speaker 1: Do it in a way that you know you're not
Speaker 1: in trouble in two or three years. All the deals
Speaker 1: are like two years anyway, spend spend spending the Caps
Speaker 1: up to almost a hundred and ninety million. It's like
Speaker 1: insane how much these guys, how much money these alliance
Speaker 1: seems have to spend. I almost think that like having
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars in capsphase is irresponsible. It's almost
Speaker 1: like at this point having like a small market team
Speaker 1: that like can't you know, afford to pay? But that's
Speaker 1: not what these teams are, right the Colts gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. He's the one thing about Chris
Speaker 1: Bell again at this comment, so vocal about the way
Speaker 1: they're going to build their team, the way that they
Speaker 1: want to spend money, the way they don't want to
Speaker 1: want to avoid free agency. It's like, maybe just why
Speaker 1: say anything at that point because he has he's stuck
Speaker 1: to that. So do you suddenly just change your philosophy
Speaker 1: and then go crazy like you don't? That's on the
Speaker 1: player in the situation. But there's rumors, there's little whispers
Speaker 1: that they could be in on Tyroll Williams or and
Speaker 1: or Collins, and I think those guys both fit what
Speaker 1: they should want to do. Uh, does anybody have a
Speaker 1: quick one just to slide in one. Are those like
Speaker 1: quick ones like Eric, I'm sure you get the ones
Speaker 1: that are just like sup. Yeah, like what up? No?
Speaker 1: But um I got one. You gotta sup. I'm going
Speaker 1: back to Ballard Man. We love the cults in this room.
Speaker 1: They have to be the team of a t l
Speaker 1: in twenty and nineteen. Yeah, the messages don't listen to Rosenthal,
Speaker 1: Adam Humphries is Andrew lux Edelman. Also, please pick one
Speaker 1: of the following bullfrog, pac Man frog, poison dart frog
Speaker 1: or common toad. Oh, the common toad, sleep on. The
Speaker 1: common toad is a toad of frog. I mean they're
Speaker 1: in the same family. It's fine Oak. This just in.
Speaker 1: Spectrum Originals has picked up the ruboot reboot of Mad
Speaker 1: About You as a limited series. Paul Riser and Helen
Speaker 1: Hunt are back. What so So under Peter Tolin Wait
Speaker 1: for new episodes limited series. It's back Riser and Hunt
Speaker 1: together at last again. What what a combination. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you guys something that you probably don't know because
Speaker 1: it's you know, it kind of passed through the pop
Speaker 1: culture news cycle very quickly, but I was fascinated by it.
Speaker 1: Remember when Sony got hacked the emails and it was
Speaker 1: a big, big story that. But un lesser story was
Speaker 1: that Paul Riser of all the hundreds and thousands of
Speaker 1: emails that Sony got, you know, released and you know,
Speaker 1: shattering their privacy. A bunch of Paul Riser emails to
Speaker 1: Sony officials came out where he was very um adamant
Speaker 1: about completing the DVD box set release. It was like
Speaker 1: season one through five is there, and season seven through
Speaker 1: nine is there, but season six is missing. And I
Speaker 1: will tell you this. Uh so and so the fans
Speaker 1: of this show are very passionate and they are completest
Speaker 1: and they deserved the entire show. This show touched a
Speaker 1: lot of people. And then he would got not get
Speaker 1: a response. And then Paul Paul Rise, it, poor Paul
Speaker 1: Rise has to send another email. Who was getting the
Speaker 1: last it all like six years? Like can we get
Speaker 1: that archive turned back on NFL? Please? Roger are you listening?
Speaker 1: So Paul Riser gets what he wants in the end,
Speaker 1: and then something not only does season six of the
Speaker 1: box that maybe exists now, uh he's back in I
Speaker 1: don't I don't remember I watched Matt about You many
Speaker 1: episodes yes, yes I did. I I don't remember where
Speaker 1: it ended though, and I don't wear the age gap.
Speaker 1: I think, well, it was just on, you know, but
Speaker 1: it was like I don't recall it ending in a
Speaker 1: cliffhanger um way where we needed to find out what
Speaker 1: happened next. If anything, it seemed like it went a
Speaker 1: couple of seasons far too long. So I don't know, well, right,
Speaker 1: if he's now sixty two, there must be new questions.
Speaker 1: This weird thing where it's like a that it was
Speaker 1: like the twenty third most popular show. Wasn't like it
Speaker 1: was like Matt. It's not like like everyone had front
Speaker 1: cover stories about Mad about You, you know, dominating their ways.
Speaker 1: All right, pick the worst show in this group of
Speaker 1: five man about you, Becker, Becker, the Ted Dancing Vehicle,
Speaker 1: but no one watched Becker, Caroline in the City, No
Speaker 1: one watched Carolina, Third Rock from the Sun, No one
Speaker 1: watched their Greg. All these shows had like a hundred episodes.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, but people to say Spin City City,
Speaker 1: people like Spin City was the best of that group.
Speaker 1: I think that's a very West show. Westl pound the
Speaker 1: table for shows like Northern Exposure, Spin City just a
Speaker 1: little bit. There was a time one Erica. How many
Speaker 1: of those five shows have you heard of? Absolutely none
Speaker 1: of them, not even watch They didn't even ring about, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you're seeing a june bug. I don't expect even
Speaker 1: Live West. There was a night at the Cozy for
Speaker 1: West spent forty minutes telling me about his obsession for
Speaker 1: designing women, which I don't remember watching many episodes in
Speaker 1: your In Your House was a show I think my
Speaker 1: Delta Burk the Delta. Yeah. Um, but the woman who
Speaker 1: wrote that show was really smart, good writer. I did
Speaker 1: not watch the Storm, total worm. This is why I
Speaker 1: was afraid to do the segment, because now now all
Speaker 1: I can think about is designing. Remember the guy the
Speaker 1: painter that just was always in that wasn't designing women.
Speaker 1: That was Murphy Brown, Oliver Platt. When we're losing, we're
Speaker 1: losing the kids on this one, Erica, you lost me
Speaker 1: at knee high. Audiences dropped off in a very similar
Speaker 1: fashion too when I hawked up along during the Twitter show,
Speaker 1: just everyone just clicked off. We have another show coming
Speaker 1: up tomorrow Thursday, right, correct, I'm I'm on a mini Veca.
Speaker 1: Keith and dever In town and uh, this is what
Speaker 1: it sounds like when my parents are visiting. Um, so
Speaker 1: you guys will carry the torch, go out on Friday morning, alright,
Speaker 1: Friday morning, and then we will have a big show
Speaker 1: next week, A big shows next week because we have
