  Right now, Chris Landry our good friend, UH Landry football dot com.
• 0:03
  It's been a busy day in the NFL. We're gonna talk about that with
• 0:06
  Chris. Maybe a little college on the back end, see if what's gonna
• 0:09
  go on with this big TENNESSEEC college football playoff stuff. But follow him on

  exit Landry FOOTBA Landry football dot com. Chris, Welcome in, sir.
• 0:15
  How are you I'm doing? Guys? You it is a busy day.
• 0:19
  Yeah, I mean it's you get away from the intranets for like one minute
• 0:23
  and then it's just another which I mean, this is that time of year.
• 0:26
  Let's let's get your thoughts on some of this. I mean there obviously
• 0:29
  there's a ton of moves. Russell Wilson the biggest, uh you know,
• 0:32
  mover over the last you know, twenty four hours from Denver to Pittsburgh.
• 0:37
  Your thoughts on the fit. What happens to Kenny Pickett and is this an
• 0:42
  upgrade for Pittsburgh. I think it's a statement to Kenny Pickett that they're not
• 0:49
  all in on you. And you know, I would think that I'm just
• 0:54
  gonna surmise that Pittsburgh. I don't think they guaranteed Russell Wilson's starting job,
• 0:59
  but I think he has a strong indication that he can go in and get
• 1:02
  the starting job, or he might have waited a little bit longer to see,
• 1:07
  although he didn't take long for my Kirk cousins to side with Atlanta,
• 1:11
  So I think maybe maybe it just all played out with behind the scenes with
• 1:15
  agents, they kind of know where things are headed. Look at a one
• 1:19
  year deal, it's low risk financially it doesn't work out. So what I
• 1:26
  mean it's such a low risk because Denver's pay basically, you know, ninety
• 1:32
  five percent of that salary. I don't know whether his career can be resurrected.
• 1:38
  I think I think the key question is he humbled enough to become more
• 1:42
  of a we guy and a team guy and not consider himself like a celebrity
• 1:48
  quarterback that he has throughout his tenure in Seattle and Denver. So I don't
• 1:53
  know how that's going to work out. We'll kind of see. The fit
• 1:57
  is probably as good as any organization culturally, and I don't think he'll mess
• 2:04
  up the culture. But that's maybe the only risk for Pittsburgh is you know,
• 2:07
  this is going to be a problem. Is he going to be like,
• 2:09
  you know, wanting you know, his own area of the locker room
• 2:14
  and be detached from the team. I don't think so, because I think
• 2:17
  he knows by now that's been the reputation in Denver and Seattle. That's basically
• 2:22
  got him in the situation that he's into, where Denver said, if we
• 2:27
  don't care how much it costs to get rid of them, we're done with
• 2:30
  him. Chris Landry talking NFL Mundy Edition. The programming should to find him
