  All right.
• 0:24
  It's Monday, you know what time it is. FRPC football.
• 0:30
  And I am here. With.
• 0:35
  Just all kinds of greatness.
• 0:38
  The Canadian bomber, the Canadian shaman,
• 0:42
  the Canadian Bill Simmons.
• 0:45
  And for this show, the Canadian Mike Tomlin, Nico Micello.
• 0:50
  Monday, how is it treating you?
• 0:53
  Are you OK? What's going on?
• 0:57
  Yeah, I'm I'm doing OK.
• 1:00
  I'm surviving.
• 1:01
  I'm I'm never going to get used to that intro for sure.
• 1:05
  But I am that I'm I'm doing OK.
• 1:09
  I'm disappointed is probably the vibe.
• 1:14
  The vibe of disappointment.
• 1:16
  And that can only mean that we have hit.
• 1:19
  Three agency frenzy.
• 1:21
  Yes, I really, I really hate the title, by the way.
• 1:25
  It's so TV.
• 1:27
  We've hit the we've hit the tampering, the legal tampering period in the NFL.
• 1:32
  Let's just call it what it is.
• 1:34
  Mm hmm. But we got some news
• 1:38
  on some stuff since the last time we spoke.
• 1:41
  We got the Carolina Panthers who now own the number one overall pick.
• 1:47
  They knew they trade with Chicago.
• 1:50
  They are trading way.
• 1:53
  Obviously, the night pick, they are trading away their
• 1:57
  twenty twenty four first rounder and a twenty twenty five second rounder
• 2:03
  and second round this year.
• 2:05
  Yeah, yeah.
• 2:07
  And D.J. Moore.
• 2:11
  Mm hmm. I want some more.
• 2:14
  I want some more.
• 2:16
  Wow. The the Browns are
• 2:21
  making it hard for me to be a Steelers fan this year.
• 2:25
  Honestly, they're just acquiring all my favorite players.
• 2:29
  They almost make me want to jump ship.
• 2:31
  Not that you don't have to worry about the Browns, though.
• 2:33
  You can worry about the bears.
• 2:35
  Oh, the bear.
• 2:36
  The bears is what I meant.
• 2:38
  The bears is what I meant.
• 2:40
  I absolutely love that team, not the Browns.
• 2:42
  Justin Fields, I've always had a lot of love for.
• 2:46
  D.J. Moore is one of my absolute favorite players.
• 2:50
  I think he's arguably the most underrated receiver in the sport.
• 2:55
  And with a little more consistent quarterback play,
• 2:58
  which I'm hoping Justin Fields can provide, I think he could be
• 3:02
  a really elite player.
• 3:04
  And today, there are additions of Nate Davis along the offensive line.
• 3:09
  Showing some level of commitment there to protecting the young guy,
• 3:13
  Justin Fields and Tremaine Edmonds.
• 3:18
  Signing to a contract that was cheaper than the one Roquan Smith signed.
• 3:24
  And they got the second round pick for Roquan Smith.
• 3:27
  So all all in all, this is a great
• 3:34
  series of moves for the Bears,
• 3:36
  creating a new, exciting young core full of guys that I personally love.
• 3:42
  And I'm interested to see how it works going forward.
• 3:51
  I was not in agreement with the Roquan Smith deal,
• 3:55
  but I understood it because they weren't going to be able to sign them.
• 3:59
  They were they're out of impact.
• 4:01
  So I understand why.
• 4:03
  I understand why.
• 4:04
  I just when you have a talent like that in the building,
• 4:07
  I just think you should find a way to get that done.
• 4:11
  But that said, what that means, said all the moves after
• 4:15
  and what has gone on, you cannot fault them at all.
• 4:20
  You know, it's safe or swim time for our guy Fields.
• 4:26
  Right.
• 4:28
  Definitely.
• 4:29
  This is this is the year.
• 4:31
  I would say that they would continue to fortify the offensive line for him.
• 4:39
  I would buy a through free agency or through the draft.
• 4:42
  Right. Hopefully that ninth pick is invested at tackle.
• 4:48
  I was in.
• 4:49
  Yeah, that's what I'd really like to see at this point.
• 4:53
  I I to be clear, I think that the
• 4:57
  I I to be clear, the Roke wants to make a deal in a vacuum.
• 5:04
  I'm not I don't think it was necessarily good, but they replaced
• 5:10
  maybe 85 plus percent of Roke on Smith with also a player
• 5:15
  who's got a bigger body and remain Edmonds today.
• 5:18
  And I think that'll help them in the run game where they have struggled.
• 5:23
  And this is going to be an entirely new defense
• 5:25
  for the most part after moving on from guys like Robert Quinn
• 5:29
  and Roke on himself last year.
• 5:31
  So I I'm intrigued to see this new look defense
• 5:36
  that Ryan Poles is putting together.
• 5:39
  Indeed, their moves so far, like I said,
• 5:42
  haven't had a problem with any of it.
• 5:44
  And I also am a big proponent.
• 5:47
  If you make a mistake or you feel like you let one get away.
• 5:51
  That you probably go ahead and like remedy
• 5:55
  that situation as quickly as possible, don't hide from it to say, all right,
• 6:00
  yeah, we made a mistake.
• 6:02
  And now we're going to fix it.
• 6:05
  There's no shame in that.
• 6:06
  I think the teams that know thyself more
• 6:11
  and do really well with the self scout are usually the better teams.
• 6:17
  I would believe personally.
• 6:18
  Yeah, yeah, I totally agree.
• 6:21
  I think that's absolutely necessary in the team building process.
• 6:27
  There's a few other teams making big moves today as well.
• 6:31
  I was just about to segue for you and say, know thyself.
• 6:34
  So how about know thyself in the Pittsburgh Steelers?
• 6:39
  Yeah, I didn't love what went down today.
• 6:44
  I mean, absolutely no doubt.
• 6:46
  I mean, absolutely no disrespect to Patrick Peterson.
• 6:50
  I love to see him on our team.
• 6:53
  Clearly is on the latter half of his career.
• 6:56
  That being said, he was still incredibly solid last year in Minnesota.
• 7:01
  That being said as well.
• 7:06
  Pat Pete is mostly his own corner at times throughout
• 7:12
  or at this time in his career.
• 7:14
  And in man coverage, he can get beat off.
• 7:18
  And then Steelers were experimenting with more man coverage last offseason.
• 7:23
  That that being said, I do love
• 7:28
  just adding him to the team.
• 7:32
  How about Peterson playing safety?
• 7:35
  Any thoughts on on that situation?
• 7:38
  Because he's he's digging up.
• 7:40
  He is. But I
• 7:42
  the Steelers have Mink of his Patrick currently playing that like roaming
• 7:48
  safety and they use a guy like Terrell Edmonds,
• 7:52
  who's currently a free agent, but was last year's safety and has been
• 7:56
  the team safety for the last five
• 8:00
  as more of like an in the box guy.
• 8:02
  And I'm not so sure that's a role Peterson would fit necessarily.
• 8:07
  The the concerns I have with
• 8:14
  the Steelers moves today stem primarily from
• 8:18
  not only their now entire lack of a single slot corner on the roster
• 8:22
  outside of Arthur Millett, who I don't want to see play very much,
• 8:28
  is the loss of Kam Sutton, who was an excellent cornerback
• 8:33
  for this team, who played every role, wore every hat.
• 8:38
  He could be an outside corner.
• 8:40
  He was a dime corner when he first started.
• 8:43
  And we did some of his best work at Nickel Corner,
• 8:46
  has excellent ball skills, is a sure tackler
• 8:50
  and was really a true leader in the locker room.
• 8:54
  You go through the social medias of
• 8:59
  Steelers on the team currently,
• 9:02
  and you almost can't find a single one
• 9:05
  where there isn't some post in appreciation of Cameron Sutton.
• 9:09
  And even ex players are supporting him quite widely.
• 9:14
  He was an excellent player for us last year,
• 9:18
  who really saved us from our lack of cornerback depth.
• 9:21
  And at this point, losing him, I think, is pretty tragic.
• 9:27
  I feel you, buddy, because we lost Jalen Ramsey.
• 9:33
  We were trading him.
• 9:34
  I knew it was coming.
• 9:37
  But he is now Miami Dolphin.
• 9:40
  And say what you want about.
• 9:44
  The swag or his temperament,
• 9:47
  what he was for that team, how aggressive he was,
• 9:52
  how aggressive he was,
• 9:56
  literally, he was the only guy on the Super Bowl team
• 10:01
  up until the playoffs, who I thought played any with any physicality whatsoever.
• 10:07
  I remember I remember you saying that repeatedly.
• 10:11
  So to see him go was harsh.
• 10:15
  And to see him go for the third rounder,
• 10:17
  I was kind of hoping for a second rounder.
• 10:21
  I was joking on the pod last week about first rounders and what have you.
• 10:26
  But I was hoping for a second rounder, hoping for a little bit better return.
• 10:30
  But hey, you got the best years out of him.
• 10:34
  And hey, if you're getting a third rounder from forum at this stage,
• 10:40
  it's fine, because the one thing I do know is that if the Rams are in the first round,
• 10:46
  the Rams are in a position where they need to go out and get somebody,
• 10:50
  they do identify and go out and get that guy.
• 10:54
  So I don't really have a problem with that.
• 10:56
  This is just pick acquisition at this point.
• 11:01
  I think what you will see more of is that that 36 overall pick
• 11:07
  might get traded to move back a little bit and to acquire more.
• 11:11
  I also believe that that second third round pick would also be a prime situation
• 11:19
  where they will also use that to move back and acquire more picks as well.
• 11:23
  They need to restock the covers at this point.
• 11:27
  This is it's not Baron, but they need to hit on these guys
• 11:33
  and they need to hit on a decent clip as well to replenish.
• 11:38
  So that's that's our cornerback story as well.
• 11:42
  So we we are not in real good moods when it comes to the squad at this point.
• 11:48
  No, not particularly.
• 11:50
  I I thought that Ramsey might get traded for more than the third round pick.
• 11:57
  It ended up being.
• 11:58
  But once it became clear that he wasn't looking to take any sort of pay cut
• 12:03
  and in fact received more guaranteed money to go to the dolphins,
• 12:10
  it was clear that the compensation was going to be smaller.
• 12:15
  To what I'm assuming both of us.
• 12:19
  Well, here's the thing.
• 12:22
  I honestly, if you know anything about Ramsey, he's all he's been all about his cash.
• 12:27
  So this is not surprised me at all.
• 12:32
  That he didn't take a shave.
• 12:34
  Yeah, yeah.
• 12:36
  Yeah, he's all about his cash.
• 12:38
  So I didn't I didn't think that.
• 12:39
  So with that's actually now more with that being said,
• 12:43
  it actually even makes more sense that the third rounder
• 12:45
  was the actual compensation, because I knew Ramsey was never going to take a cut.
• 12:51
  Yeah. Yeah, that's that's fair.
• 12:54
  I I guess I thought I was more looking at it
• 12:58
  as he might have needed to take a pay cut like teams
• 13:02
  were going to be a little hesitant to take him on at that salary
• 13:07
  or hypothetically, maybe take him on in a situation
• 13:12
  where the Rams retain some money to just give him a signing bonus right before the trade.
• 13:17
  I was thinking something like that could happen more so than Ramsey
• 13:22
  would just get rid of money.
• 13:25
  But I definitely see what you're saying.
• 13:29
  The one other thing that that I'll say about Miami now,
• 13:33
  they have some studs there already, but there are younger guys will benefit
• 13:39
  with Jaylen Ramsey in the building.
• 13:42
  Yeah.
• 13:43
  Corner that came across Grams, the that was a younger guy.
• 13:49
  Was Mark better by him.
• 13:53
  David Long is his son, his praises.
• 13:57
  Other guys as well has sung his praises about
• 14:03
  the gifts that he were that he just got dropped on now.
• 14:06
  So you're getting as far as a locker room guy.
• 14:10
  Now, the antics on the field and the, you know, all eyes on me type thing
• 14:15
  that comes along with Jaylen Ramsey.
• 14:17
  But as far as locker room in that, in that locker room,
• 14:22
  in that in that secondary
• 14:26
  film role, he is going to be instrumental in it
• 14:30
  and helping any young guys that the Miami Dolphins have.
• 14:34
  So they got a good one.
• 14:37
  Yeah, that'll likely be pretty helpful for a guy like Noah Ibnogony.
• 14:43
  He's first round pick brought in a few years ago,
• 14:48
  has been relatively disappointing to this point in his career.
• 14:51
  However, he's still 23 years old, so there's room for him to improve.
• 14:55
  And maybe under the tutelage of a guy like Ramsey
• 14:59
  rather than a guy like Byron Jones will help him out a little more.
• 15:05
  I that's kind of similar actually to the Steelers situation as well.
• 15:11
  That's kind of the role I see them bringing Patrick Peterson into.
• 15:15
  And is also why I think the Steelers very clearly telegraphed today.
• 15:21
  That they will be drafting a cornerback in the first round.
• 15:26
  The good old Steelers always making it very, very easy for a
• 15:34
  a team that is looking at a particular position
• 15:37
  to go right in front of them.
• 15:39
  Hmm. The draft doesn't I that the Steelers had pretty much earmarked
• 15:46
  where their draft spot.
• 15:48
  And that doesn't happen as often as you think it should, because like
• 15:54
  basically all sides have point to pointed to the last several Steelers picks.
• 15:59
  You look at Najee Harris, you look at Kenny Pickett.
• 16:02
  I was ignoring them, but the signs were there.
• 16:05
  Even guys like Devin Bush.
• 16:07
  The last time I remember them getting aggressively jumped in front of was
• 16:11
  the the draft where the Bengals jumped ahead of us
• 16:15
  and drafted William Jackson, who we also cut today.
• 16:20
  But they drafted William Jackson, who at the time we really wanted.
• 16:25
  And they knew it.
• 16:27
  So the Steelers made it clear the Bengals knew it.
• 16:31
  They hopped in front of us.
• 16:32
  They didn't have a backup plan.
• 16:34
  They just drafted Artie Burns.
• 16:37
  And the rest was history.
• 16:40
  Basically was a pretty big disappointment.
• 16:43
  Yeah, with the guys that you just named.
• 16:48
  So you're talking about Pickett, Najee Harris.
• 16:51
  Those were, if you think about it.
• 16:54
  Nobody was really looking at those dudes like not.
• 16:58
  I'm not listening.
• 16:59
  Najee here is a good running back.
• 17:02
  Not as dynamic as well.
• 17:06
  We'll see what the offensive line is this year.
• 17:08
  But. Like this is that was probably where
• 17:13
  the spot he was going to go.
• 17:15
  And if he wasn't going to go there, he was probably going to go like four slides later.
• 17:19
  Yeah, yeah. It was kind of like, OK, well, you want to drop the quarterback
• 17:23
  because nobody was enamored.
• 17:25
  But like I said, the last couple the last couple of times when it was telegraphed
• 17:29
  to this point, yeah, you're right.
• 17:31
  So the Willis Jackson was a big deal.
• 17:35
  So I just hope at this point.
• 17:39
  They diversify their board.
• 17:43
  I had to see how it all worked out after today.
• 17:47
  That's kind of what I was hoping with the addition of Andy Weidl to the draft room.
• 17:53
  And based on today's moves, it just looks like more of the same.
• 17:58
  It looks like another short board.
• 18:01
  And that that's why my tenor for today is overall disappointment.
• 18:07
  Well, San Francisco also made some moves.
• 18:17
  Sticking with your Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah.
• 18:22
  Hard right signs a four year deal to go to the San Francisco 49ers.
• 18:28
  You know how much I hate this.
• 18:30
  Yeah, because a more physical
• 18:33
  dominant defensive line got way better
• 18:39
  with Hargrave's in the middle of this bad boy.
• 18:42
  Men like.
• 18:45
  Between Bosa, Armstead and Hargrave,
• 18:49
  you have three dudes on the Niners defensive line right now
• 18:53
  who are almost impossible to single team and can I write
• 18:59
  a kid Ken law is a really solid player as well.
• 19:03
  But I think some of the better guards in the league can isolate him.
• 19:07
  Armstead, Hargrave, Bosa are the type of guys you need to chip.
• 19:13
  You need to do something.
• 19:15
  And normally teams can kind of get away with the guarding
• 19:20
  Armstead and Bosa with only three linemen and not double teaming
• 19:24
  both giving one guy kind of double duty.
• 19:27
  But now with Hargrave on the other side locked into a one on one
• 19:32
  in that situation, it's going to be devastating to defenses.
• 19:37
  This is a huge addition to
• 19:41
  what last year was one of the best defenses in the sport,
• 19:46
  if not arguably the best and a team that no one beat the week after
• 19:53
  because of how bad they beat you up.
• 19:55
  Now they're just going to beat you up worse.
• 20:00
  This is Fred Warner approved.
• 20:04
  This deal is Fred Warner approved. Absolutely.
• 20:09
  He will not have anyone on him, so he'll just be free, free to roam.
• 20:15
  And that's all I that's all I ever wanted in my inner sea west
• 20:19
  as a round fan is this Fred Warner free, just not touch whatsoever.
• 20:26
  Free to just accelerate and explode.
• 20:29
  That's exactly what I wanted.
• 20:32
  Yeah. Now, I don't know how big a loss it is.
• 20:35
  And because he was kind of on his way out.
• 20:40
  But McGlinchey goes to Denver.
• 20:44
  He signs a big deal.
• 20:46
  So it was five years, like 87 mil.
• 20:51
  But 50 of it is guaranteed.
• 20:57
  But McKibbett for the San Francisco 49ers
• 21:01
  had already kind of because of his injury situation
• 21:04
  and already kind of served him.
• 21:05
  So I'm I'm kind of like, OK, we get younger and cheaper.
• 21:12
  Sweet. Yeah.
• 21:15
  Yeah, especially like.
• 21:20
  Man, the situation the Niners are in,
• 21:22
  I got to sing John Lynch's praises for a little bit.
• 21:26
  We've talked about how they've collected compensatory draft
• 21:32
  picks through the minority hiring program, bringing in several minority
• 21:38
  people in high positions and giving them autonomy
• 21:43
  to make decisions and showing how great they are.
• 21:46
  And then they go and get hired in other organizations.
• 21:49
  That's excellent. Today.
• 21:53
  Despite signing Javon Hargrave,
• 21:57
  the Niners are going to pick up yet another third round compensatory pick
• 22:03
  because they lost Mike McGlinchey and they lost Jimmy Garoppolo,
• 22:09
  who's going to cancel out the Hargrave addition in the compensatory formula.
• 22:14
  So despite becoming, I think, objectively a better team today,
• 22:19
  they also are picking up compensatory value.
• 22:22
  That is some legendary
• 22:26
  general manager movement by John Lynch.
• 22:31
  Twenty twenty four
• 22:33
  compensatory pick in that third round.
• 22:36
  We'll be looking back at the Jimmy Garoppolo
• 22:42
  to the Las Vegas Raiders to team up with his old buddy.
• 22:50
  His former quarterback coach and offensive coordinator, now head coach.
• 22:55
  What do you think of Garoppolo to Vegas?
• 23:00
  And is this. Is this better?
• 23:06
  Is this better than what they had?
• 23:10
  I think I have a hot take here.
• 23:14
  I'm a big Derek Carr fan, but I actually do believe this is better than what they had.
• 23:19
  Just because primary use can start with the fit between McDaniels and Garoppolo,
• 23:25
  which is obviously there.
• 23:27
  But the contract they got Jimmy on is incredibly friendly.
• 23:31
  He's making like twenty two million dollars a year.
• 23:35
  That's almost half what Daniel Jones is making.
• 23:38
  It's also a contract that a lot of it is guaranteed in year one
• 23:44
  with a little bit guaranteed in year two.
• 23:46
  So hypothetically, if this goes sour, it's not difficult to pivot out.
• 23:52
  I think the Raiders put themselves in the position
• 23:56
  that they are in right now.
• 23:58
  The Raiders put themselves in a much more flexible situation
• 24:02
  to kind of figure out what they have on this roster
• 24:06
  and also put people in place who better understand the system
• 24:10
  and the group that existed last year.
• 24:13
  I'm not convinced that this is necessarily some home run signing
• 24:18
  that's going to bring the Raiders to the next level or anything.
• 24:22
  I think that's the right move.
• 24:26
  My thoughts exactly two real key critical things to this.
• 24:32
  You bring somebody in who's definitely going to understand the verbiage
• 24:37
  that McDaniels is talking.
• 24:39
  Secondly, it's going to make it easier for everybody else
• 24:44
  because even with a year under their belt,
• 24:49
  they're barely a young team except in a couple positions.
• 24:53
  So offensive line, that'll help Garoppolo get them set.
• 24:59
  And it's just like having another coach on the field.
• 25:01
  And the other thing with Garoppolo is this,
• 25:03
  is that I understand that Carr was a dude, not locker room.
• 25:12
  People like Garoppolo, like really like him in the locker room.
• 25:19
  Especially young guys.
• 25:21
  And I think with this young team, that's
• 25:24
  going to resonate incredibly well.
• 25:27
  Jimmy Garoppolo, also well known for feeding tight ends
• 25:31
  to have big games, be it Gronkowski or Kittle.
• 25:34
  So this looks really promising for Darren Waller as well.
• 25:40
  A guy like Hunter Renfro, I think looks very analogous to the Julian
• 25:45
  Edelman slot receiver types that they've had in the past.
• 25:50
  So having a lot of these weapons that are going to be familiar to Garoppolo,
• 25:58
  even though he hasn't necessarily played with them before,
• 26:02
  I think is going to prove itself to be successful.
• 26:06
  And do not forget about the really athletic tackles they have.
• 26:11
  Those will be monumentally important in the screen game
• 26:14
  and the bubble screen game that they will employ this year
• 26:19
  with Garoppolo in that lineup.
• 26:21
  So we are looking for good things from Vegas.
• 26:25
  They got to be better than last year out of that.
• 26:28
  They just have to get that defense will be the key.
• 26:31
  What they can do with their picks and what have you.
• 26:37
  We'll see what goes down from that point.
• 26:40
  I don't know what they did.
• 26:42
  Defense has to get better.
• 26:43
  They need some dudes on that defense.
• 26:47
  Let's see, is is there another free agent deal that went down?
• 26:52
  We got to really kind of hit on.
• 26:53
  I mean, I know Carl went to to New Orleans, so we touch on that a little.
• 27:00
  I can't remember.
• 27:02
  Juwan Taylor to the Chiefs, I think is significant.
• 27:06
  It shows that they're moving on from Orlando Brown.
• 27:11
  He is currently, I would say, the biggest free agent still available
• 27:17
  and likely commanding somewhere in the range of 100 million dollars.
• 27:23
  I think Juwan Taylor is a straight up better player than Mike McGlinchey,
• 27:28
  especially like over the last year.
• 27:31
  He's proven himself to be very good in this sort of role.
• 27:36
  So the fact that the Chiefs got him for even cheaper than the contract
• 27:39
  McGlinchey signed, I think looks very good on their behalf.
• 27:45
  Once again, the Chiefs making another great move.
• 27:50
  That that runoff is just has aces all over.
• 27:56
  Just I mean, they just do really well,
• 28:00
  and they know when it's time to move on from a guy.
• 28:04
  And to be as as far as the money is concerned, to only pay this do like 20 mil.
• 28:11
  I mean, this is good.
• 28:12
  It was a good situation.
• 28:14
  There's a couple of the things I want to hit you with, Nico.
• 28:17
  We got Daniel Jones on a.
• 28:22
  On a contract for 40 million dollars.
• 28:26
  Mm hmm. So he's he's locked in.
• 28:32
  He is. What are we thinking?
• 28:38
  About Daniel Jones getting 40 mil.
• 28:42
  I can't believe it on some level.
• 28:46
  On another level.
• 28:50
  I understand kind of what the Giants were trying to do.
• 28:55
  I think this contract is as much a message to the locker room
• 29:00
  that we will pay you if you perform well here.
• 29:05
  I think contracts like that often get tendered.
• 29:10
  That being said, I think this has a ton of downside.
• 29:17
  I last year was by far Daniel Jones best year,
• 29:21
  and it's not as if he was the type of player that was going out there consistently,
• 29:26
  winning them games by himself or anything or making the difference.
• 29:31
  He's a good quarterback.
• 29:35
  And he functions well in this stable system.
• 29:38
  He can do kind of like a C to C plus job
• 29:46
  of approximating Josh Allen.
• 29:49
  So that's definitely the intrigue behind him.
• 29:54
  I just think this deal has limited upside
• 29:58
  and a potentially catastrophic downside.
• 30:04
  Well, when you see that Garoppolo is basically making like 18 mil a year
• 30:08
  with incentives to get get them to 25.
• 30:12
  And then you see Daniel Jones making 40.
• 30:15
  Yeah, so now here's my question.
• 30:19
  Daniel Jones is making 40.
• 30:23
  I understand that we are still waiting on Aaron Rodgers.
• 30:30
  Supposedly, we are a lot closer to him, to Aaron Rodgers becoming a jet.
• 30:39
  But we still do not have pen to paper,
• 30:42
  or do you want to go out with me,
• 30:46
  hit the yes box or whatever the kids do nowadays
• 30:53
  to say they're courting somebody?
• 30:55
  So anyway, I got some theories on why Aaron
• 31:02
  might actually I think Aaron might be holding this up.
• 31:05
  Would you like to hear that?
• 31:07
  Absolutely, absolutely. OK.
• 31:10
  One, it is a protest to.
• 31:16
  Who he thinks the new Batman should be.
• 31:21
  In the next DC comic movie.
• 31:26
  Fair enough, not a Robert Pattinson fan.
• 31:28
  No. OK.
• 31:30
  And he feels like if he's going to Gotham,
• 31:33
  his Batman should be a lot darker.
• 31:35
  Yeah, a lot more. Yeah, yeah.
• 31:40
  Pattinson, I think, does a better Bruce Wayne than he does Batman, for sure.
• 31:45
  OK. So these are some of the rumors that are out there.
• 31:50
  Mm hmm. The other rumor that is out there is that
• 31:58
  he has not received a list of socialite
• 32:03
  in the New York City area yet
• 32:07
  to see who's going to be his new fiance.
• 32:11
  OK, so he's waiting on that as well.
• 32:15
  And whatever starlet that's coming off,
• 32:19
  pretty little liars or White Lotus or whatever other show
• 32:26
  that might be real popular with the little 20 year olds.
• 32:30
  If they're living in the area, well, so we watch out.
• 32:34
  That's that seems to be his type. So. All right.
• 32:38
  So that also might be holding it up. OK.
• 32:42
  There was one other rumor that really caught my eye
• 32:45
  is that it looks like Aaron Rodgers would like.
• 32:53
  His tackle Bakiari to be the new Batman.
• 32:57
  His tackle Bakiari to go with him because the main on that guy,
• 33:04
  the flow of hair just calms Rogers down
• 33:08
  while he's in the pocket dissecting the defense.
• 33:12
  Thoughts on that?
• 33:13
  I see this this theory seems a little too related to football
• 33:19
  to truly be something Aaron Rodgers would be concerned with.
• 33:22
  But they based on the the behavior we've seen between him
• 33:29
  and Bakiari in the past, I think it's definitely possible.
• 33:33
  He needs a beer can crusher.
• 33:37
  The bromance is strong with those two, definitely.
• 33:41
  And they do have similar situations with hair.
• 33:47
  They sure do.
• 33:48
  Rodgers seems to be enamored with his Bakiari seems to just be
• 33:54
  pretty much the end of thought and cuts it with a fork.
• 33:59
  And I think Rodgers likes it that way.
• 34:02
  Another thing that I just thought of.
• 34:06
  He was asking if he would have full autonomy to go into.
• 34:14
  A Brooklyn police department.
• 34:18
  And have access to a guard room.
• 34:22
  They're still working on that.
• 34:24
  The mayor and all the city officials are working on that.
• 34:28
  OK, he needs he needs a place to store his Ivermectam.
• 34:32
  So that makes sense.
• 34:34
  This is this is true.
• 34:35
  All right.
• 34:36
  So, man, tell me what's going on, did I?
• 34:40
  What are we doing right now?
• 34:42
  I I've got no idea.
• 34:44
  The the box, the Bakiari thing you threw out there is not not that it's
• 34:54
  anywhere near reality, but that's like the only last thing that I can
• 35:00
  possibly logically think necessarily if it's on the Roger side, that maybe
• 35:05
  he wants someone to go with him, be it from Green Bay, be it someone in free agency.
• 35:10
  That he's trying to find a way for the Jets to add that player as well.
• 35:15
  Or the thing I think all Jets fans are terrified of is it Woody Johnson being
• 35:25
  unwilling to part with some level of draft compensation.
• 35:30
  And at this point, I'm kind of leaning in that direction.
• 35:35
  But I, I really hope that's not the case.
• 35:43
  To our New York fans who just had a heart attack that you might actually lose out on
• 35:48
  Rogers because of your owner.
• 35:53
  Listen, calm down, calm down.
• 35:57
  Brian Gooden-Kuss wants Rogers out as much as you want him to.
• 36:03
  As you want him, this deal will get done
• 36:08
  because the hatred between Gooden-Kuss and Rogers is well documented within me.
• 36:16
  CQPP in or earlier renditions of my thoughts on the good
• 36:25
  and cause Rogers relationship is pretty hilarious.
• 36:28
  But Rogers has given us so much good content over the years.
• 36:34
  But this one right here, like holding things up.
• 36:38
  Because also I think he's a linchpin to the guy that I want to talk about next.
• 36:43
  And I guess another conspiracy theory that I need to throw out there is Lamar Jackson.
• 36:50
  We got two prime time quarterbacks, Nico, that are holding up the works right now on
• 36:57
  what our season is going to look like and how we're going to have to somehow.
• 37:06
  Virtually spoon each other when these two, these two quarterbacks are in different
• 37:10
  uniforms.
• 37:11
  Yeah, I, man, I don't know necessarily what's going on with this Lamar Jackson
• 37:18
  situation.
• 37:19
  I think it's relevant to talk about the deadline for teams to actually start
• 37:24
  negotiating with him being in two days rather than today.
• 37:29
  But we've seen all these reports of teams that are not in the Lamar Jackson chase
• 37:36
  at this point.
• 37:37
  And to me, it seems like gamesmanship more than anything.
• 37:44
  It seems like teams are being unwilling to be the first to put that offer on the
• 37:50
  table so another team can just come by and beat it and drive up the price.
• 37:54
  Well, there is talk of collusion.
• 37:59
  That's the word I wanted to get to, because that were right there.
• 38:05
  And this podcast will be very, very careful.
• 38:09
  Alleged collusion.
• 38:12
  Because.
• 38:15
  Who knows who hears this?
• 38:19
  Who knows?
• 38:20
  So I do want to talk about that a little bit.
• 38:24
  Yeah.
• 38:27
  You tell me.
• 38:30
  Is it hard to get a franchise quarterback?
• 38:34
  A real difference maker, Nico, in this.
• 38:37
  How many we got?
• 38:39
  I think we're sitting at five right now.
• 38:43
  People can.
• 38:45
  And we got we got we got my homes.
• 38:52
  Burrow.
• 38:53
  Yes.
• 38:54
  We got are we throwing Herbert in there?
• 38:57
  I'm not throwing Herbert in.
• 38:59
  OK, we got Hertz.
• 39:02
  Yes, we do.
• 39:04
  We got Lamar.
• 39:06
  We do.
• 39:06
  And Josh Allen is.
• 39:08
  Oh, yeah.
• 39:08
  Josh Allen.
• 39:09
  OK, so those are the quarterbacks that Nico thinks, hey, if the defense stinks
• 39:15
  today or if we turn the ball over a couple of times or our special teams
• 39:21
  fumbles ball in our own territory and we're behind the eight ball, our QB one
• 39:28
  is going to bring us back.
• 39:30
  So those names again are Burrow, my homes, Allen, Hertz and Lamar Jackson.
• 39:37
  So other franchises send your hate tweets to at Nico FRPC.
• 39:45
  And I will say that again.
• 39:46
  That is at Nico FRPC.
• 39:50
  And if you would like to send tweets to me, then I will retweet and send to Nico
• 39:57
  that is at front runner PC.
• 40:00
  Yes, sir.
• 40:01
  But just so you know, I pretty much agree with what you just said.
• 40:06
  The only other guy that I would throw kind of in there, but he hasn't done it yet.
• 40:12
  It's probably Herbert.
• 40:14
  I like Lawrence trajectory, but I want to see it again, you know?
• 40:21
  And you know how I feel about Dak and Kurt?
• 40:24
  Oh, yeah, they're nowhere near this conversation.
• 40:27
  And you know how I feel about Garoppolo?
• 40:30
  Oh, and he's even further.
• 40:32
  Yeah.
• 40:32
  So these are the guys.
• 40:36
  Aaron Rodgers, I think, is another one that people might talk about on the periphery.
• 40:41
  There I think he's been that guy in the past.
• 40:45
  He can still win you regular season games.
• 40:49
  Pray to God you don't come up against the Niners in the playoffs or anything like
• 40:52
  that, because there there are certain situations where Aaron Rodgers has not
• 40:58
  performed to his standard.
• 41:00
  In the playoffs, that's why he's going to the AFC.
• 41:04
  He trying to get away from the Niners.
• 41:06
  He better.
• 41:07
  Yeah.
• 41:08
  Boy, you might see him in the Super Bowl.
• 41:11
  Maybe at that point, he found the starlet in New York that will give him the
• 41:17
  superpowers that he needs to defeat the mighty 49ers.
• 41:22
  OK, but here's the thing.
• 41:25
  So we don't have a lot of those guys.
• 41:26
  It's very smart.
• 41:28
  Correct.
• 41:28
  Incredibly sparse.
• 41:30
  Why do you let them buy you let one walk and also let one walk at like 25, 26 years of age?
• 41:37
  I have absolutely no idea what the Ravens are doing.
• 41:41
  I I'm shocked they didn't pay Lamar two years ago, to be honest, that we got to this
• 41:49
  point in the first place.
• 41:51
  This guy has won M.B.P.s for your franchise and you've hamstrung him.
• 41:55
  The entire time you've put him with the same offensive coordinator running the same
• 42:01
  broken schemes that had been solved in his rookie year and he Colin Kaepernick.
• 42:08
  Yeah, that's that's all Greg Roman ever did.
• 42:12
  And they brought in the occasional wide receiver, but they haven't brought in
• 42:19
  necessarily the greatest ones, as Eric DeCosta said.
• 42:26
  However, as Rashad Bateman said, they haven't put the receivers in position to be
• 42:31
  successful either.
• 42:33
  So it's really difficult to know what's wrong.
• 42:38
  But it seems like there might be something a little rotten at the core in this
• 42:42
  organization.
• 42:44
  Two things I just want to throw out there.
• 42:46
  One, the man has won an MVP to that man has been to multiple AFC championship
• 42:54
  games, multiple.
• 42:57
  All right.
• 42:58
  You know, the guys who can say that, Nico, that are in the league.
• 43:04
  Not that there's only a couple.
• 43:07
  Yeah, Lamar or him in.
• 43:09
  Sorry, him in Pat.
• 43:11
  I guess Mr.
• 43:13
  Brady's gone.
• 43:14
  Well, no, the other guy, too, is Burrow.
• 43:18
  Oh, Burrow, Burrow, those three, three, three, those three guys.
• 43:22
  Yeah.
• 43:23
  Are the only guys that have been to multiple at this point.
• 43:28
  So your guy is giving you basically to the dance.
• 43:34
  Yeah.
• 43:36
  With very little help.
• 43:38
  Okay. And you put the tag on him where he could walk.
• 43:47
  I have a lot of questions that need to be answered.
• 43:53
  Well, I don't know if Nico can answer those for me.
• 43:57
  One.
• 44:01
  I have this question.
• 44:02
  Do they like Lamar Jackson?
• 44:05
  Do the Baltimore Ravens organization, do they like him and want him to continue
• 44:13
  to be their quarterback?
• 44:15
  If they do, they sure have a hell of a way of showing it because I, I'm not
• 44:20
  getting that impression.
• 44:21
  And then my question is, what's the, what's plan A or plan B?
• 44:39
  I, I've got absolutely no idea at this point.
• 44:44
  I don't think they're going to be a team that goes into the draft this year
• 44:51
  with the designs on finding their next quarterback.
• 44:55
  Their team as a whole, especially defensively is also too good to bottom
• 45:02
  out next year for a Caleb Williams type draft pick.
• 45:08
  I think their hope has to be that the Lamar team that they eventually end up
• 45:17
  dealing with has a quarterback that they can then get in return.
• 45:23
  As I've pointed out guys like Tua and Mack Jones, that they might have some
• 45:28
  level of interest in assuming Lamar ends up going to one of those teams.
• 45:34
  But hypothetically, if it's another situation like Tampa Bay, where there's
• 45:40
  no quarterback in place, it's going to be rough sliding for the Ravens at this
• 45:47
  point.
• 45:47
  They will have the draft equity they get for Lamar.
• 45:53
  So there can be a situation where hypothetically they could trade up, but
• 45:59
  likely whatever team is at first overall, this can be very hesitant to give away a
• 46:04
  player like Caleb Williams.
• 46:08
  All right.
• 46:09
  So this is, this is my thought.
• 46:13
  Tell me if I'm wrong.
• 46:14
  Tell me if I'm on the right path or just tell me that I'm absolutely out of my
• 46:20
  freaking mind.
• 46:21
  All right.
• 46:24
  We have long thought that Lamar Jackson wasn't going to play for the Baltimore
• 46:29
  Ravens.
• 46:29
  We've been on this for months, basically.
• 46:32
  Um, with that being said, their next moves are let's build the team.
• 46:40
  Let's let's put all the stuff we need.
• 46:43
  Like the defense is good.
• 46:45
  Where can we get better at the defense?
• 46:47
  Do we have a special pass rusher?
• 46:51
  Do we have the subsequent subsequent corners to do what we need to do?
• 46:57
  Can we upgrade the weapons for our next quarterback, build the team and then
• 47:05
  allow the quarterback aid to either come to you or B you go get whoever is under
• 47:12
  Shannon hand in San Francisco and you say, Hey, you come and be our offensive
• 47:21
  coordinator consultant or whatever and build the offense and you can probably
• 47:30
  get by with Brock Purdy's and the Garocolo's of the works.
• 47:34
  Yeah, I think I think Todd Monk and the guy they, they did bring in this off
• 47:40
  season to be the new offensive coordinator is a interesting hire at the very least.
• 47:47
  He's had success in the league before he's had some less successful times, but
• 47:53
  I think it's going to result in a different offense that involves more West
• 47:58
  coast concepts and more of a vertical passing game than what we've seen from
• 48:04
  them in recent years, especially you can look at the offense at Georgia.
• 48:10
  The last two years to see the kind of idea of what we're looking at.
• 48:16
  So I think at least on that side, they're currently moving in the right direction.
• 48:25
  It just feels a little too late to me.
• 48:30
  Well, this saga continues and will obviously stay on it.
• 48:33
  If there is a move with Rogers and or Lamar, I am sure that
• 48:39
  there will be an emergency podcast for that, because when you are talking about
• 48:44
  two franchise difference makers, at least Rogers, a couple of years ago, we want
• 48:52
  to throw last year away because of the injury concern and his lack of his
• 48:59
  binky Devante Adams, not being there.
• 49:04
  We want to throw that away and just kind of say, Hey, when he had his
• 49:07
  black ones, he was held with healthy.
• 49:10
  He was an MVP candidate actually wanted.
• 49:12
  So therefore he's what a year removed from an MVP.
• 49:18
  Yeah.
• 49:20
  Yeah.
• 49:20
  Right.
• 49:21
  So I can see two years removed, I think.
• 49:25
  Yeah.
• 49:26
  He's one year.
• 49:28
  Oh, he wanted to, he wanted to go.
• 49:31
  Yeah.
• 49:31
  Back to back.
• 49:32
  Yeah.
• 49:32
  Yeah.
• 49:32
  So I can see why people can talk themselves into that.
• 49:40
  Uh, the Lamar thing is going to be fascinating because once these teams
• 49:45
  stop, uh, BSing, uh, the Baltimore Ravens talking about their lack of interest
• 49:50
  in a MVP caliber, uh, ceiling and at the, at the very least, uh, playoff every
• 50:03
  year floor guy, uh, I don't, I don't, I don't see where that would be a problem.
• 50:11
  Taking two draft picks and saying, here you go.
• 50:15
  Yeah.
• 50:15
  So I, I think the best, most recent example you can find of my belief that
• 50:25
  teams are kind of playing cat and mouse and rather than colluding that scary
• 50:30
  word is the Deshaun Watson situation that just happened.
• 50:36
  Um, the teams were just about every team said the same thing that no way we'd
• 50:44
  ever consider going for Deshaun Watson.
• 50:48
  Um, and then after the trade finally happens, all these reports start coming
• 50:53
  out of these different offers that existed from all different organizations.
• 50:57
  Some of the same organizations that are saying they're not going
• 51:00
  to trade for Lamar today.
• 51:02
  So that weirdly has me hopeful.
• 51:07
  It's just weird to say Deshaun Watson and hopeful in the same sentence, but
• 51:11
  it has me hopeful that this Lamar situation is more of antics and also
• 51:17
  difficulty with him not having an agent rather than some nefarious collusion situation.
• 51:27
  You know what I think should happen right now with Lamar Jackson, because
• 51:32
  we are in the legal tampering period.
• 51:34
  Right.
• 51:35
  Uh, not for him, not for him to couple of days, right?
• 51:38
  March 15th.
• 51:39
  15th.
• 51:40
  Yeah.
• 51:40
  Two days from my boy.
• 51:44
  Don't care about this.
• 51:45
  So buckle up.
• 51:48
  There's a gentleman who has been skirting the rules for a long period of time.
• 51:53
  He has been a pirate.
• 51:56
  He is being a, a gangster.
• 52:00
  He's going to trailblazer for a long period of time.
• 52:02
  He is in post his will on the NFL.
• 52:06
  And now he has seen himself and seen his mortality and has decided I need to go all in.
• 52:17
  He's talking to him right now.
• 52:20
  Bill Belichick is talking to Lamar Jackson right now talking to the fam because this
• 52:27
  is like what Bill would like to do.
• 52:29
  He don't want to talk to no agents.
• 52:31
  He don't want to talk to whoever your emissary is, your publicist.
• 52:41
  Lamar, what's up?
• 52:44
  You like to wear sunglasses on sideline.
• 52:46
  I can do that.
• 52:48
  I can do that with you.
• 52:51
  So if there was anybody who could get it done with the family members, give me
• 52:57
  old school Bill Belichick to get this deal done.
• 53:05
  Yeah.
• 53:06
  I, when you were first talking about someone who's seeing his mortality and Ben, uh,
• 53:15
  moving around behind the scenes a little bit, I was worried we were going to move
• 53:19
  in the Jerry Jones direction.
• 53:21
  Oh, no, no, no.
• 53:22
  He's a clown.
• 53:22
  Yeah.
• 53:23
  Yeah.
• 53:23
  Yeah.
• 53:23
  I'm sorry.
• 53:24
  Yeah, I know.
• 53:25
  Shout out to my Dallas fans, the Cowboys fans.
• 53:28
  Listen, I love you guys.
• 53:30
  There, your, your fan base along with Buffalo, along with Pittsburgh and a
• 53:35
  couple of others out there are really, really good fan bases.
• 53:40
  I'm just really sad for you that your owner is Jerry Jones.
• 53:45
  So I'll leave it at that.
• 53:47
  I have more on Jerry Jones.
• 53:49
  He's going to be my new, he's going to be my new Brian Gooden, cause, uh, Nico
• 53:54
  this year, just so you know, so buckle up for a lot of Jerry Jones content.
• 53:59
  Oh, just like my guy, Tate Frazier has a thing for coach K.
• 54:05
  Jerry Jones is now my new guy.
• 54:07
  Oh no.
• 54:08
  He's my guy that I will find and I will find many away and I will not do it like
• 54:16
  Steven and just yell and whatever it will be smart, but it's going to be funny.
• 54:21
  So I'm here for it.
• 54:24
  Um, but back to what you, you said previously about, uh, Lamar and Bill, I
• 54:33
  I'd be hesitant to cross the tampering lines right now, specifically as Bill
• 54:39
  Belichick with the history that happened with the Patriots organization and then
• 54:48
  with the team in your division, the Miami dolphins and what they tried to go around
• 54:53
  and do with Tom Brady, I I'd be very cautious, but on some level, I think the
• 55:00
  floodgates are going to open approximately like 30 hours from now.
• 55:07
  So when something like that happens, I think me more than most, I see the
• 55:14
  Patriots in that conversation just so happens that Bill has a boat.
• 55:19
  He's just floating down to Hollywood, Florida, but didn't work for Jeff Ross.
• 55:24
  Well, hold on.
• 55:25
  No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 55:25
  It's different for Jeff because I'm just saying, listen, he doesn't have to
• 55:31
  have Lamar on the boat.
• 55:32
  He can have parents, they can go out fishing, you know, today, they can go
• 55:38
  out fishing today because that's a, that's called a, uh, that's called a
• 55:42
  grown person's leisure activity.
• 55:45
  That is not called tampering at all.
• 55:48
  I mean, Bill, Bill got a first round pick taken away from him for some
• 55:55
  footballs that got deflated by the environment.
• 55:58
  I do not guess to.
• 56:01
  He do not care, dog.
• 56:03
  He just don't.
• 56:04
  He's going to lose this whole draft.
• 56:06
  You don't care, man.
• 56:07
  That dude does not care, bro.
• 56:09
  I'm just telling you, he doesn't care.
• 56:12
  I'm if he, if it comes out that that's the dude that is hiding away from
• 56:19
  for Lamar Jackson and then they end up getting him, I will be very interested
• 56:28
  in the backstory of how that relationship all goes down because I'm going to tell
• 56:34
  you right now, Lamar, you're going to be the one that's going to get the
• 56:37
  most down because I'm going to tell you right now, Lamar and Belichick talk on
• 56:41
  the field prior to every game.
• 56:44
  Yeah.
• 56:45
  He's like, you know, he's the only coach.
• 56:47
  He's like, you know, I can't do that.
• 56:49
  Oh man.
• 56:51
  I don't know if Lamar is that type of dude.
• 56:53
  He's just, he's cerebral and I think their personalities would match mesh
• 56:58
  pretty well as I talked about previously.
• 57:02
  Yeah.
• 57:03
  It will be interesting to see how that all flows out and, uh, one quick
• 57:08
  note on the draft as it starts to get closer and now we're starting to see
• 57:14
  moves being made and, uh, you know, the draft board is becoming more and more
• 57:19
  clear, I think there'll be a couple more moves that we'll see first rounders
• 57:22
  be moved before the draft, uh, probably the next couple of days here, but
• 57:28
  I'm starting to think that somebody is going to end up with a premium
• 57:39
  defensive star like at six and seven.
• 57:47
  Yeah, there there's potential.
• 57:49
  It seems like a deeper class for those types of dudes.
• 57:53
  It's just unfortunately pretty weak in the middle.
• 57:58
  There is no safety is middle linebackers defensive tackles really.
• 58:04
  Well, if you're getting probably the best player in the draft at six or at
• 58:10
  least in top two, because the quarterback is pushing up, this is working out good
• 58:18
  for your teams that are not necessarily looking for a quarterback.
• 58:23
  And so, I mean, is Detroit not looking for quarterback?
• 58:28
  I do.
• 58:29
  They meant they might.
• 58:30
  I don't know if they're going for it this year though.
• 58:33
  I think they'll, they'll ride another season.
• 58:38
  Okay.
• 58:38
  I'm going to ask them here.
• 58:40
  Yeah.
• 58:41
  Can our fans and our listeners in Detroit, get us up at front runner PC at front
• 58:46
  runner PC or at Nico FRPC and ask me, just let me know, do you not want to be part
• 58:56
  of the Lamar Jackson?
• 58:59
  Oh, I think they'd be very interested if that came about, if he had interest in
• 59:06
  going to Detroit, I think they'd be incredibly interested, but I just, I more
• 59:14
  so think the, the lines just aren't in a position to necessarily draft a
• 59:20
  quarterback this year.
• 59:21
  If something like Lamar comes around or another quarterback moves that they're
• 59:28
  intrigued by, I could, I could definitely see them throwing their hat in the ring.
• 59:33
  Oh yeah.
• 59:33
  That's the only one that I will want them to go after is Lamar.
• 59:37
  I wouldn't want them to touch this draft, this, this particular draft class.
• 59:41
  I wouldn't want them to wait till next year.
• 59:43
  Yeah.
• 59:43
  Maybe our guy, Hendon Hooker in round two, but otherwise they can stay away.
• 59:51
  I love him.
• 59:52
  Then hooker.
• 59:53
  He is honestly my favorite quarterback in this draft class.
• 59:58
  Is that crazy?
• 59:59
  You think he's the best one of the group?
• 1:00:01
  No, he's my favorite.
• 1:00:03
  Oh, that's, I, I, that's not crazy at all.
• 1:00:09
  I, mine might be Anthony Richardson because of the few splash plays here and there,
• 1:00:14
  but Hendon Hooker is probably a, a close second.
• 1:00:19
  You know, like I tell you all the time, how much I care, how much I like think
• 1:00:24
  of you, I, I don't know how much I love your mind and what have you, but every
• 1:00:31
  time you say something like James Harden is awesome and he's such a good citizen
• 1:00:37
  or you tell me that I really love the few splash plays by Anthony Richardson.
• 1:00:43
  I go like this for real Nico, for real.
• 1:00:47
  It's eye candy, bro.
• 1:00:48
  The eye candy we going with the eye candy, bro.
• 1:00:51
  Well, it's just all traits with Anthony Richardson and the splash plays that
• 1:00:57
  happen are a lot of fun to watch.
• 1:01:00
  I that's, that's why I kind of had trended more towards the, towards the
• 1:01:05
  trend to more, more towards the favorite than I think he's necessarily the best.
• 1:01:11
  That being said, if I'm near the top of the draft this year and you're asking me
• 1:01:17
  to roll a dice on one of these quarterbacks, I'm probably more likely to
• 1:01:21
  roll it with Will Levesse or Anthony Richardson and then Bryce Younger, CJ Stroup.
• 1:01:32
  All right.
• 1:01:32
  Well, I hope you have a really good plan for Richardson because he shouldn't
• 1:01:38
  touch the field first year.
• 1:01:40
  Yeah, probably.
• 1:01:41
  Not should not touch the field at all.
• 1:01:44
  I, I, I think that's probably true with more quarterbacks than we realized.
• 1:01:52
  Yeah.
• 1:01:52
  But with him, especially, yeah, especially.
• 1:01:57
  And I would get mentors on the ground with him.
• 1:02:02
  Like I would go back and I would go grab your Michael Vicks or
• 1:02:08
  whatever resonates with him and say, okay, this is your guy.
• 1:02:16
  He is now your guru.
• 1:02:18
  He is in your phone.
• 1:02:20
  Y'all going to FaceTime, you know, saying you're going to have like little meetings
• 1:02:25
  with him, like every four weeks and all of that, I need to do everything in my
• 1:02:30
  power to set this kid up for success with, uh, because I, I, I just look at
• 1:02:39
  him and go, he's raw and we are going to need time.
• 1:02:45
  Yeah, definitely.
• 1:02:48
  He's, he's incredibly raw.
• 1:02:50
  I just, with how unpredictable drafting quarterbacks is generally, I like to
• 1:02:56
  look at the things on the table that are factual about players and he is factually
• 1:03:05
  a freak athlete, so that makes me more interested in rolling the dice.
• 1:03:11
  He's definitely, I would say fourth of the four, uh,
• 1:03:18
  fourth of the four guys everyone's talking about in this class in terms
• 1:03:23
  of football acumen, but everything else he can do, I, that's the type of guy
• 1:03:32
  I just like to go after.
• 1:03:37
  Or footwork can't read the defense.
• 1:03:41
  Very remedial, offensive concepts that he can grasp at this present time.
• 1:03:47
  Those are all three things.
• 1:03:49
  Oh, and he's a enamored, enamored with his arm.
• 1:03:54
  You're watching tape on your boy, by the way, cause you were like talking to me.
• 1:04:00
  Well, this is your guy.
• 1:04:01
  And I was sitting there thinking, let me, let me go ahead and put some tape on.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah, a lot of throws where he is in love with that cannon.
• 1:04:14
  Yeah.
• 1:04:15
  On his right shoulder.
• 1:04:17
  Yep.
• 1:04:17
  That's why he needs to sit for a year.
• 1:04:22
  And he won't act.
• 1:04:25
  That might be the type of thing you, you learn more on the field.
• 1:04:29
  I think there's a lot of bad habits that are in his game though, that
• 1:04:35
  need to be removed.
• 1:04:37
  And generally that's best done.
• 1:04:41
  Off the field with a year of observation.
• 1:04:44
  So I, maybe they can do kind of a similar thing to what the Niners
• 1:04:51
  did in year one with Trey Lance, where they brought him in for a few plays
• 1:04:55
  here and there and had packages.
• 1:04:58
  But I, I'd like to see him sit on the bench to start.
• 1:05:03
  Me as well, me as well.
• 1:05:06
  My, my only thing with him is this is that for the, for the people who are
• 1:05:12
  really in love with Anthony Richardson, who are following this podcast, here
• 1:05:18
  is his light floor, like he could be like James Winston, early interceptions guy.
• 1:05:31
  Oh man.
• 1:05:32
  I think this dude could be that with athleticism, like he can be super
• 1:05:39
  athletic, get you a hundred yards, get you 250 passing yards.
• 1:05:47
  And on that third and six in the fourth quarter, when you need him to make a
• 1:05:52
  play, he will fall in love with his arm and he will go into double, double
• 1:05:57
  coverage and they will get picked off and you will go, damn, that game was
• 1:06:02
  entertaining.
• 1:06:03
  He did a lot of great things.
• 1:06:06
  Oh, we were so close to victory.
• 1:06:08
  It'll be cool.
• 1:06:09
  The first year, you know, when it won't be cool, started the third year
• 1:06:17
  when he's still doing it.
• 1:06:19
  That's why you got to sit here for a year.
• 1:06:22
  That's just the hope that you can work that kind of stuff out.
• 1:06:26
  You mentioned the floor being James Winston.
• 1:06:29
  I think on that case, I'm probably even lower.
• 1:06:33
  I think the floor is probably straight up, not an NFL player.
• 1:06:39
  I think the full, the floor is going to say, I didn't want to say what I actually
• 1:06:43
  thought because when I actually thought I shades of Jamar Russell, man.
• 1:06:51
  Well, yeah, it is a Jamar, but different things.
• 1:06:54
  It is a Jamar, but different in one way, in one way.
• 1:06:59
  Jamar didn't want to work.
• 1:07:02
  Yes.
• 1:07:02
  He wants to work and he likes football.
• 1:07:05
  He likes football.
• 1:07:06
  Yeah.
• 1:07:07
  But what I'm saying is the, the mental part of the game and the
• 1:07:14
  disfascination with his arm.
• 1:07:18
  He loves that.
• 1:07:19
  That loves it.
• 1:07:21
  That Jamar Russell is actually perfect example of the final reason.
• 1:07:26
  I think I'm currently leaning more towards the traits guys than anything else.
• 1:07:34
  I look at a guy like Jamar Russell and drafting him obvious
• 1:07:41
  catastrophe for the writers.
• 1:07:43
  No doubt about that.
• 1:07:44
  However, you knew pretty quickly with the player like Jamar Russell
• 1:07:50
  that it wasn't going to work.
• 1:07:53
  I would rather draft a guy like that where it burns out than a guy like
• 1:07:58
  hypothetically, Daniel Jones, Joe Flacco, though he did win a Superbowl.
• 1:08:05
  The guys who it's year five and you're still not sure that you're going to
• 1:08:12
  win a Superbowl and you're still not sure that's a good way to end up in purgatory.
• 1:08:19
  But see, that's the problem of the front office at that point, because
• 1:08:25
  you should know by year three, what that guy is and you can go, okay, let's
• 1:08:30
  augment, he's not franchise, different maker guy, he's high end game manager
• 1:08:37
  guy, and we need to put the stuff around him.
• 1:08:40
  Yeah.
• 1:08:40
  We need to put the stuff around him.
• 1:08:42
  So, but it's often hard because quarterbacks are difficult evaluation.
• 1:08:50
  Like example of your team with Jared Goff.
• 1:08:54
  Jared Goff played a lot of successful seasons, ended up getting that big
• 1:08:59
  contract that was bigger than what he deserved, but it was a situation that
• 1:09:06
  kind of made the Rams feel like they had to pay him the money.
• 1:09:11
  And I just, I don't want to end up in a spot where I'm giving a hundred
• 1:09:19
  million dollars to an Andy Dalton type.
• 1:09:23
  I'd rather be in a situation where two years after I make a selection, I can
• 1:09:28
  just wash my hands and move forward and know that I'm looking for another
• 1:09:32
  quarterback.
• 1:09:33
  Okay.
• 1:09:34
  Now you just said something really hypothetical, but I'm going to
• 1:09:38
  hit you with the NFL reality unless you are Ted Thompson or, uh, who doesn't
• 1:09:48
  fire their GMs, Guten Cusco or a Green Bay or a Piscoward for an office that
• 1:09:56
  never gets fired.
• 1:09:58
  Yeah.
• 1:09:59
  Uh, Ballard in Indianapolis seems pretty and Roseman in Philadelphia.
• 1:10:06
  Yeah.
• 1:10:06
  Yes, and these guys do not have that type of job security where I can blow out a
• 1:10:13
  quarterback after year two.
• 1:10:15
  Oh, guess what?
• 1:10:16
  We made a mistake on that one.
• 1:10:18
  You know what will happen this time?
• 1:10:19
  We won't make the same mistake this time.
• 1:10:22
  Yeah.
• 1:10:23
  That GM doesn't get that second chance.
• 1:10:26
  That's that's true.
• 1:10:27
  And as a general manager, I can definitely understand making the decision for job
• 1:10:34
  preservation.
• 1:10:35
  Um, but just as a fan, as myself, I personally gravitate more towards those
• 1:10:44
  style of players now, just because I'd rather have those guys on my team a
• 1:10:51
  little bit, irregardless of my front office.
• 1:10:54
  It also might be telling to you how your front office handles the situation like
• 1:11:02
  that might be a better way to quickly evaluate whether or not you need to make a
• 1:11:06
  change in the front office.
• 1:11:08
  So I, I'm viewing that, I think a little bit more from a fan's perspective than
• 1:11:14
  necessarily a team perspective.
• 1:11:18
  No, great.
• 1:11:19
  I mean, I'm glad we, that we hammered that down because obviously the things
• 1:11:24
  that we want to make sure is like, we're just trying to give a focus of like a
• 1:11:27
  front office and then also as a fan, like we want you guys to enjoy these guys,
• 1:11:33
  but we also want to give you clear indication.
• 1:11:36
  If you are a fan of a team and this guy ends up on your squad, the best case
• 1:11:43
  scenario, as far as what we would think his development would be that would end
• 1:11:49
  up to be the most fruitful in the end for your enjoyment.
• 1:11:54
  Am I pretty much right on that?
• 1:11:55
  Nico?
• 1:11:56
  Yeah.
• 1:11:56
  Yeah.
• 1:11:57
  I couldn't agree more.
• 1:11:58
  I think that's, that's a great way of putting it for sure.
• 1:12:00
  That's, uh, what I'd like to, to try and provide people just, uh, different
• 1:12:08
  perspectives to look introspectively at their own fandom and their own team.
• 1:12:15
  And the last thing that we want to leave the folks today with is that, well, you
• 1:12:19
  got a black quarterback spotlight and the guy that I want to give spotlight to
• 1:12:25
  spotlight to today is none other than Bryce Young because I was hard on him
• 1:12:35
  last week.
• 1:12:37
  I will continue to be hard on him this week because he is small, but the one
• 1:12:43
  thing that you cannot deny that dude has got it done everywhere he's gone.
• 1:12:52
  And the one thing that you cannot teach is his ability to compute what goes on.
• 1:13:02
  At the pace that he does his processor in his head is faster than everybody
• 1:13:08
  else's in this draft.
• 1:13:10
  As far as the quarter, miles faster.
• 1:13:13
  Yeah.
• 1:13:13
  He, he's an incredibly talented young man.
• 1:13:16
  I, I often feel guilty for not having him hire on my quarterback list, because
• 1:13:25
  if you just observe the talent, it's clear he's far and away the best
• 1:13:30
  quarterback in this class.
• 1:13:32
  It's just that saying that Tomlin is that sticks in my head.
• 1:13:38
  If you start making exceptions, pretty soon you'll have a team full of exceptions.
• 1:13:43
  I, I, he's too slight for me.
• 1:13:47
  I was all on board the Russell Wilson of it all, but Russell Wilson was a stocky
• 1:13:53
  dude with mammoth hands and arms.
• 1:13:58
  Bryce Young just is a slight guy overall.
• 1:14:02
  I he's he's got all the talent in the world and arm strength.
• 1:14:07
  That's honestly shocking out of someone his size.
• 1:14:10
  So I, I really support him as a player and I pray he's successful when he gets
• 1:14:17
  in the league because he is so fun to watch.
• 1:14:19
  I just don't know if that's the guy I would necessarily roll my dice with.
• 1:14:26
  If you're a team looking to draft him, your offensive line has to be big physical
• 1:14:33
  and those guys have to be loyal.
• 1:14:37
  Like you have to do like a deep dive on your psychological profiles, on
• 1:14:44
  your offense alignment, do they have like a propensity to be like a savior,
• 1:14:54
  to be like a protector or whatever.
• 1:14:58
  You got to have those guys protecting him because.
• 1:15:02
  Every once in a while, he's going to get hit and those guys are huge
• 1:15:06
  that are going to hit him.
• 1:15:08
  So he has to have a really good offensive line.
• 1:15:14
  If he's coming into this league, it would also probably behoove you to have a good
• 1:15:20
  slot receiver and a good idea.
• 1:15:23
  Yeah, those things should be like there.
• 1:15:27
  Day one, he gets there, especially interior offensive line, because the way
• 1:15:33
  he plays, he doesn't, a lot of quarterbacks nowadays tend to move the
• 1:15:40
  backwards out of the pocket and tend towards rolling out and creating space in that way.
• 1:15:47
  Bryce Young steps up in the pocket, like every time.
• 1:15:50
  He steps up in the pocket, like a six foot four quarterback, you would think.
• 1:15:54
  He would six foot four.
• 1:15:56
  He does.
• 1:15:57
  He plays that way and it's, it's beautiful to watch.
• 1:16:01
  So that interior offensive line needs to be specifically strong to be able
• 1:16:07
  to highlight things like that.
• 1:16:09
  And also it can be too tall because you got to be able to be able to be
• 1:16:15
  able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able
• 1:16:19
  to be able to be able, because you've got to be worried about him seeing
• 1:16:23
  over them on some level.
• 1:16:25
  So six, seven center, six, five guards might not be the right
• 1:16:32
  guys to go after necessarily.
• 1:16:35
  I'd I obviously that wouldn't write someone off my draft board, but it's
• 1:16:40
  something I'd be looking into if I'm drafting with Bryce Young in mind.
• 1:16:45
  He didn't seem to have a problem at Alabama and they have a pretty watch that NFL
• 1:16:51
  Often as far as I
• 1:16:53
  They they definitely do but in the NFL there's a lot more of jumping arms up that whole
• 1:17:01
  Congestion in the pocket that is just gonna be difficult for him
• 1:17:05
  So I think a taller offensive line mate might make it
• 1:17:10
  Difficult for him to make those quick split second reads necessarily when defensive lineman are trying to swap the balls
• 1:17:18
  The one thing I will say is that
• 1:17:22
  He has a whip like
• 1:17:24
  finish to his
• 1:17:26
  Throwing delivery. Yeah, it's it looks like a pitcher almost the way he's able to flex the arm and
• 1:17:34
  And then get the extension out, but he also has different platforms that he can throw it from
• 1:17:42
  For what I'm
• 1:17:44
  I've done a little digging
• 1:17:47
  That's very true, you know, well he seems to be able to throw from different platforms
• 1:17:53
  He's very
• 1:17:55
  Very under control in the pocket if he gets a little pressure. It's not like oh, I'm I'm so scared. No, no, all right
• 1:18:02
  Mm-hmm. He's not flappable in that way. Yeah, he's brave as hell
• 1:18:11
  Yeah, yeah, I am I lost my train of thought there I wasn't sure the direction I'm going but Bryce Young is definitely
• 1:18:19
  Someone who deserves our acknowledgement and someone who we're both looking forward to supporting as soon as he gets into the league
• 1:18:27
  Routing for the kid. I'm rooting for the science experiment to work if
• 1:18:32
  If I had to say of the quarterbacks
• 1:18:36
  I'll probably
• 1:18:40
  I'll probably have them
• 1:18:44
  three
• 1:18:47
  If each Stroud
• 1:18:49
  No, I got him to why am I saying that?
• 1:18:52
  Stroud young Levis Richard
• 1:18:55
  No, am I am I flip-flopping on this? Yeah, I am flip-flopping
• 1:19:00
  It'll be Stroud Levis young Dan Richardson
• 1:19:04
  And the only reason for young is the height and the and the slender bill. That's it
• 1:19:10
  Because everything else screams to me
• 1:19:14
  franchise quarterback
• 1:19:17
  everything so
• 1:19:19
  I just wish the kid well, I know he's gonna get drafted high. I can't wait to see it
• 1:19:24
  I can't wait to experience what this is gonna look like
• 1:19:28
  What kind of offense?
• 1:19:30
  is going to be deployed with him in it and
• 1:19:34
  You're right the interior offensive line
• 1:19:38
  As long as he's in the league and whatever franchise does
• 1:19:42
  Take the gamble. They've got to be able to do that
• 1:19:45
  Whatever franchise does uh take the gamble. They will always have to invest
• 1:19:51
  In the interior offensive line. It is an absolute must you cannot short
• 1:19:56
  That situation ever not one year
• 1:20:00
  And you also have to have good backups in that
• 1:20:03
  definitely the
• 1:20:05
  Uh year the saints won the super bowl with drew breeze the comparable height size guy they had
• 1:20:11
  Arguably the best offensive line in the sport especially on the interior. So
• 1:20:16
  it's
• 1:20:18
  Something that we've seen happen before and I think it's going to be
• 1:20:22
  Very relevant to Bryce
• 1:20:25
  All right, is there anything else that we need to hit today?
• 1:20:29
  Nico, we know we don't have any news on rogers. We can't have any news on lamar jackson. Is there anybody?
• 1:20:38
  that you're just
• 1:20:40
  Enamored with the name and where they're going to go
• 1:20:44
  That is still out there
• 1:20:46
  Oh no one no one's still out there necessarily who immediately comes to mind orlando brown perhaps
• 1:20:53
  He's he's probably the big name that we're going to need to see switch locations
• 1:20:59
  I'm really interested to see what kind of teams will want to bring him in
• 1:21:04
  um
• 1:21:05
  if
• 1:21:06
  if there might be a chance that he could look into the lamar team as well because I know they get along
• 1:21:14
  well
• 1:21:15
  um, and apparently
• 1:21:19
  The chiefs haven't waved off the idea of bringing him back. So I guess we're gonna have to
• 1:21:25
  Wait and see with that one. It seems a little weird after the joan taylor edition today
• 1:21:31
  um
• 1:21:33
  Um, however one guy we haven't touched on who did actually sign today and I think
• 1:21:38
  Is relevant, uh, is jesse bates signing in atlanta
• 1:21:43
  He that's one of the worst secondaries defensive outside of a strong number one corner in aj torrell
• 1:21:51
  One of the worst secondaries in the sport adding a guy of that caliber. I think is going to be huge
• 1:21:57
  And the bangles today losing both safeties jesse bates and uh bond bell is
• 1:22:03
  Going to make an impact on their team for sure
• 1:22:08
  The one thing with bates is that uh, he can get deeped a lot and you can count and pick on him
• 1:22:15
  Uh when he can he allow his physicality?
• 1:22:20
  to just
• 1:22:22
  Just be organically
• 1:22:24
  Unfurled onto the football field. It's it's amazing
• 1:22:28
  Uh, he seems to be in the right place at the right time a lot
• 1:22:33
  Yeah
• 1:22:34
  You know not to the mika fitzpatrick level
• 1:22:39
  but close
• 1:22:41
  Close. Yeah. Yeah close to it. They're a little a little different minka does a little more roaming and
• 1:22:49
  jesse works a little more downhill generally, but
• 1:22:52
  I I think that
• 1:22:54
  They're two of the best safeties in the league. So they're definitely comparable on some level
• 1:23:00
  so atl
• 1:23:02
  Let's shout out our guy
• 1:23:04
  In the atl go ahead shot him out go to our guy out
• 1:23:09
  Uh shout out to my boy kez
• 1:23:11
  I i've been talking to him over the last couple days. He he seems to be doing okay doing
• 1:23:18
  Pretty good lately the the atl eons podcast was the hit on qpbn. I think we can all say we love that show and
• 1:23:27
  uh
• 1:23:29
  I'm i'm happy for my guy kez getting
• 1:23:32
  Jesse baits today. I know he wanted it. I'd uh,
• 1:23:36
  I hope we can have him on the pod here one day soon
• 1:23:40
  Oh, yeah, we gotta do something with all mr. Andrews
• 1:23:43
  Do you have a open invitation?
• 1:23:45
  To the pot and we will talk nothing
• 1:23:48
  but atl
• 1:23:50
  We could bring him off with the basketball pot
• 1:23:52
  Yeah, we can talk about
• 1:23:54
  He can do the state of the union of his beloved atlanta hawks
• 1:23:59
  Mm-hmm. I'm sure jacob
• 1:24:01
  Young jake would love to would like to be on that as well. Yeah
• 1:24:06
  you know, so
• 1:24:08
  Got a lot to pull from with that
• 1:24:10
  So with that being said
• 1:24:12
  for my guy
• 1:24:17
  He is all of these wrapped up in the one
• 1:24:20
  All right, so the canadian bomber
• 1:24:23
  the canadian shaman
• 1:24:26
  the canadian bill simons and
• 1:24:29
  With that being said trust
• 1:24:32
  There are deals in the works folks trust and believe
• 1:24:36
  and
• 1:24:38
  for this pot
• 1:24:40
  The canadian mike holland my boy nico miotelo
• 1:24:44
  Send us off man. Let him know what we're doing. We got stuff coming up on friday. I think I don't know let us know
• 1:24:51
  Yeah, we got we we're gonna have a basketball pod coming up on friday. I don't think we've talked
• 1:24:57
  Necessarily too much about what's going on, but we're in a spot where we can start doing some
• 1:25:04
  playoff previews
• 1:25:06
  And up some matchups that are uh seeming to emerge we can
• 1:25:11
  Do some more celebrating of the sacramento kings as it looks
• 1:25:15
  More and more guaranteed that they're securing their first playoff berth in 16 years
• 1:25:21
  And we can touch on that lakers team of yours
• 1:25:25
  And how nice they're looking lately. I think uh, they they might be primed to upset someone in the first round
• 1:25:32
  Sorry, yes, sir, and I will be focused in on one thing and one thing only
• 1:25:39
  A club fours up all day ucla in the tournament. They are number two seed in the west
• 1:25:47
  And that's where my attention will be
• 1:25:49
  thursday
• 1:25:50
  Just let you know that's where
• 1:25:53
  my attention will be
• 1:25:55
  Leading into the basketball pod
• 1:25:59
  on friday
• 1:26:00
  Definitely make sense where we're gonna have to touch on march madness as well. I put together
• 1:26:06
  A bracket today. Have you looked at that yet?
• 1:26:11
  Oh, no, i'm i'm i'm analyzing my bracket as as we speak. I am on top of it
• 1:26:17
  Right now i'm a little upset with a lit some of the things in my region
• 1:26:23
  Which is the west?
• 1:26:25
  Not excited about gonzaga being in my region whatsoever. Um, i'm really upset about this whole
• 1:26:35
  Why can't we have a actual team from the west be a number one seed?
• 1:26:42
  Just as lii, I don't know just yeah
• 1:26:47
  Yeah, whatever I guess so
• 1:26:50
  but
• 1:26:51
  So when we move to the big 10, this won't be a problem by the way, just as well. Yeah, that's true
• 1:26:57
  That's true. I love that. So what what did you end up with your final matchup will give people this to
• 1:27:05
  To go off your final the end of your bracket
• 1:27:08
  Um, i'm still working on it because i'm still
• 1:27:12
  Even though i'm a homer for ucla. I am a realist
• 1:27:16
  I gotta see if I can get my guys to the finals
• 1:27:18
  Even with the devastating news of jaylen clark shout out to my guy
• 1:27:24
  Who was all world defensive player?
• 1:27:28
  Of the year in the pack 12
• 1:27:30
  Torn achilles we wish him nothing but a speedy recovery and we don't know if he's going in the draft
• 1:27:37
  We don't know if he's gonna go so
• 1:27:40
  Well, it's good for you
• 1:27:41
  So maybe maybe we'll save that we'll tease that also for the friday pod
• 1:27:46
  Well, we can maybe reveal our lead dates or something. I will I will have it ready
• 1:27:54
  By then I got a lot of stuff to go over tonight a lot of things comb over tonight
• 1:28:00
  To figure it all out
• 1:28:01
  so
• 1:28:02
  I am uh looking forward to all of this and we got to get off because
• 1:28:07
  We got some news on uh, john moret
• 1:28:10
  That just came out. So we got to go look at that
• 1:28:14
  Yeah, okay
• 1:28:15
  All right guys, we will see you on friday on this feed and I also believe
• 1:28:22
  That somewhere in the mix here will be a life pod
• 1:28:27
