- 0:41Speaker 4: factor on the play.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Like you build that wall behind you know how to

- 1:15Speaker 2: It is Thursday here at jo Lett Stadium and we're
- 1:19Speaker 2: talking still free agency. I want to talk about this
- 1:22Speaker 2: Mark Daniels report, a little bit that came out. Did
- 1:25Speaker 2: you hear about this? No, just want to discuss it.
- 1:28Speaker 2: I think it was Mark. It's one of Evans guys. Well,
- 1:31Speaker 2: we'll talk about it. I want to talk about that.
- 1:33Speaker 2: I want to talk about the most recent signings. Uh,
- 1:38Speaker 2: the linebacker lead and Bradbury the center.
- 1:42Speaker 4: What's that kind of burrying the lead here a little bit?
- 1:45Speaker 4: What's that There's somebody visiting here today that's a pretty
- 1:48Speaker 4: big name.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Von Diggs. We'll talk about that as well. So as
- 1:56Speaker 2: we said, you know, we're far from a completed roster
- 1:59Speaker 2: and he won't even be there and we'll be in
- 2:02Speaker 2: August and still talking about some transactions. But things are
- 2:06Speaker 2: still moving. So I guess we could start with reaction
- 2:11Speaker 2: to the report about Stefan Diggs deuce.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I mean, he's a great player. A lot of action
- 2:20Speaker 3: on Twitter For me last night, I felt like it
- 2:21Speaker 3: might be deuce against the world. But I'm gonna say, Look,
- 2:23Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say too much because they haven't signed him.
- 2:25Speaker 3: He's visiting, but I'm just curious what they're interested in him.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Is he's coming off an ACL injury. Does he want
- 2:31Speaker 3: to sign up here for a couple of years? Is
- 2:33Speaker 3: is Stefan Diggs, you know, want to come to New England.
- 2:35Speaker 3: It seems a little bit of a I guess a
- 2:37Speaker 3: stretch to me, just that you know, he was looking
- 2:39Speaker 3: for a title, going from you know, good team to
- 2:41Speaker 3: good team. Right now, Patriots in are a different place.
- 2:44Speaker 3: I don't think a one year deal with Stefan Diggs
- 2:46Speaker 3: makes sense. Probably gonna start on the pup list.
- 2:48Speaker 2: So he's only he's four and a half months away
- 2:50Speaker 2: from his injury.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, not I mean from his surgery.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, So it's gonna be.
- 2:56Speaker 3: A little while. But look, I I won't overreact, and
- 2:58Speaker 3: I know I have, you know, establish feelings on him.
- 3:00Speaker 3: But he's he's an outstanding player. He's a number one.
- 3:03Speaker 3: He runs routes like nobody's business. Was on track to
- 3:06Speaker 3: a great year last year. So we'll see if they
- 3:08Speaker 3: sign him. And you know, I have my other thoughts
- 3:11Speaker 3: about So.
- 3:11Speaker 2: The first thing most of the tweets that I saw were, oh,
- 3:15Speaker 2: I thought they were interested in culture, is like, but
- 3:19Speaker 2: you talked to his teammates, and his teammates really liked him.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Yeah, Buffalo obviously had a tough falling out there and
- 3:25Speaker 4: with Josh Allen and Buffalo, But we talked about a
- 3:28Speaker 4: little bit. I want to say last week, when it
- 3:31Speaker 4: wasn't Chris Godwin, wasn't DK Metcalf and one of these
- 3:35Speaker 4: aging star receivers, whether it was Stefan Diggs, Cooper Cup,
- 3:41Speaker 4: Mariy Cooper, you know, one of these types of guys,
- 3:43Speaker 4: I felt like they just had to take a chance
- 3:45Speaker 4: on one of these players and hope that they find
- 3:47Speaker 4: a fout in the youth and and they can still
- 3:49Speaker 4: play and play at a high level. Just the ceiling
- 3:52Speaker 4: of adding Stefan Diggs and if he's the guy he
- 3:56Speaker 4: was last year in Houston, when he comes back from
- 3:58Speaker 4: the injury for a team like the Patriot, that's a
- 4:00Speaker 4: worthwhile flyer to take. That's a worthwhile risk to take
- 4:04Speaker 4: that he's going to bounce back from the injury. So
- 4:08Speaker 4: given their cap situation, given the need at the position,
- 4:11Speaker 4: like I just don't know how you could be against it, Like, yeah,
- 4:13Speaker 4: they're risks, you know, involved Absolutely, I'm not so worried
- 4:16Speaker 4: about the locker room, but in terms of the injury
- 4:19Speaker 4: in the age, that's a risk. But they're kind of
- 4:22Speaker 4: in the position where they need to take a risk
- 4:23Speaker 4: like that.
- 4:24Speaker 3: At this position, I agree, they have money, you know,
- 4:26Speaker 3: and that's the thing that probably intrigues Stefon Diggs. May
- 4:28Speaker 3: he perhaps more than anything.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Else, you know, how much of it do you want
- 4:31Speaker 2: to give to him?
- 4:32Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's a question. And I mean i'd
- 4:33Speaker 3: love to if he did sign here. Hear his pitch
- 4:36Speaker 3: to why he was interested, and certainly I think we
- 4:39Speaker 3: could all be buttered up by I'm really interested to
- 4:41Speaker 3: play with Drake. I think he's got some great talent.
- 4:43Speaker 3: I want to help him, you know, get to the
- 4:44Speaker 3: next level like I did with Josh. I think those
- 4:46Speaker 3: things are all as.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Long as it doesn't prohibit them from doing something else anywhere,
- 4:51Speaker 2: whether it's tackle or another what they're not whatever, you know,
- 4:55Speaker 2: take a shot.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's at this point they got more
- 4:58Speaker 3: like and I think the NFL's kind of like this
- 5:00Speaker 3: right now, Like it feels like they have more money
- 5:02Speaker 3: than they can spend, like, they have more cap space
- 5:03Speaker 3: than they realistically can a lot to the players that
- 5:07Speaker 3: are available and the players that are on their team
- 5:08Speaker 3: that might need extensions at this point.
- 5:11Speaker 4: So it's, well, that's where I'm coming out from. It's like,
- 5:13Speaker 4: what's the worst case scenario? The worst case scenario is
- 5:16Speaker 4: that he can't play anymore, right, he doesn't bounce back
- 5:18Speaker 4: from the knee, he can't play anymore, and then you
- 5:20Speaker 4: cut ties and you move on after twenty twenty five.
- 5:23Speaker 4: And for a team that has a lot of cap
- 5:26Speaker 4: space that the projection numbers right now are all kind
- 5:29Speaker 4: of weary because we don't have all the details of
- 5:31Speaker 4: contracts and things like that, but they have plenty of
- 5:33Speaker 4: cap space. So that's your worst case scenario is that
- 5:37Speaker 4: you took a chance and it didn't work out, and
- 5:39Speaker 4: so then you move on. I mean, that's the chance
- 5:42Speaker 4: you have to take, and you're in this position. I
- 5:44Speaker 4: think the only thing that I hesitate with it on
- 5:47Speaker 4: is like, does that now make them say, well, we
- 5:49Speaker 4: don't need to draft a receiver because we have Stefan
- 5:53Speaker 4: Diggs and you know, Matt Collins, and like we have
- 5:55Speaker 4: our receiver additions like I would still hope that they
- 5:58Speaker 4: were going to take another swing receiver in the draft,
- 6:01Speaker 4: at least.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I think this prit says they won't, right, that would
- 6:04Speaker 2: be the only reason why, and especially with the injury.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if he's going to be
- 6:10Speaker 2: ready in September.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Yeah, they you know right now. I mean Kendrick Bourne
- 6:15Speaker 4: tore his acl right around the same time two years
- 6:17Speaker 4: ago as Diggs did this past year. And Bourne played
- 6:21Speaker 4: twelve games for the Patriots last year, So you're talking
- 6:23Speaker 4: about missing the first month of the season, right mostly.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So I again, if this as long as this doesn't
- 6:30Speaker 2: prohibit them from doing anything else, then why not now.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Tommy Current, I don't know if he was specifically talking
- 6:38Speaker 2: about Diggs, but a few days ago on his podcast,
- 6:40Speaker 2: he was talking about the Patriots are worried about bringing
- 6:45Speaker 2: a receiver onto the team that's going to demand the
- 6:47Speaker 2: ball and what effect that's going to have on Drake May.
- 6:51Speaker 2: I don't know where he's getting that from. I don't
- 6:53Speaker 2: know if it's something that he just heard or someone
- 6:57Speaker 2: actually from the team told him that. I find that
- 7:00Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Well, they were supposed to believe, yeah, they we supposed
- 7:03Speaker 3: to in on DK Metcalf too. Yeah, you know. So
- 7:06Speaker 3: so I don't.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Know the credibility of like who told him that or
- 7:10Speaker 2: if it's just something someone's thinking, if it's a true concern.
- 7:14Speaker 2: But if it's true, I don't like it. But I
- 7:18Speaker 2: have a hard time believing that Elliott Wolf or Mike
- 7:22Speaker 2: Vrabel or Josh McDaniel. That's a fear, you know, because like, okay, again,
- 7:28Speaker 2: if you've got to if you've got if you've got
- 7:29Speaker 2: the guy, he can handle.
- 7:31Speaker 8: That, you know.
- 7:32Speaker 4: And also do you have the volume to give to
- 7:35Speaker 4: a receiver like you have the targets to give to
- 7:38Speaker 4: the guy. So I don't imagine once he gets healthy,
- 7:40Speaker 4: as Stefan Diggs is going to be starving for targets
- 7:43Speaker 4: in this offense, Like he's going to be the guy.
- 7:45Speaker 4: He's going to get force fed the ball if anything.
- 7:47Speaker 4: But we were talking on catch twenty two about uh
- 7:50Speaker 4: Luther Burden who is falling out of the first round
- 7:53Speaker 4: and a lot of mock drafts, and most people assume
- 7:55Speaker 4: that it has to do with what went on at
- 7:57Speaker 4: Miszoo last year for him, where he had some of
- 8:00Speaker 4: these sideline antics, you know, Odell Beckham type blow ups
- 8:03Speaker 4: and stuff like that, and that is maybe turn some
- 8:05Speaker 4: people off. But my take on it was just if
- 8:08Speaker 4: I was Mike Rabel, like you're a culture guy, Like,
- 8:10Speaker 4: don't you just trust in yourself and trust in the
- 8:13Speaker 4: program that you're going to be able to bring a
- 8:16Speaker 4: guy like that along and keep that a guy like
- 8:18Speaker 4: that on the rails, Like I would almost rather him
- 8:21Speaker 4: take that approach and that say no, I'll take care
- 8:24Speaker 4: of it, you know, like maybe.
- 8:25Speaker 9: He's been humbled in the last year. You know, you
- 8:27Speaker 9: have an injury like that. Clearly there's not like a
- 8:30Speaker 9: crazy market to sign him, like not to say he's
- 8:34Speaker 9: damaged goods right now, but I don't know, Like life
- 8:36Speaker 9: has a way of humbling you sometimes, and if you
- 8:38Speaker 9: come into a new culture with a new mindset, it's
- 8:41Speaker 9: kind of hard to rule out and say he's just
- 8:43Speaker 9: going to come in and be a diva.
- 8:45Speaker 2: That's a great point. I mean he's out there, no
- 8:47Speaker 2: one signed him yet, so maybe he has, you know,
- 8:51Speaker 2: come down a little bit. And I think, like you
- 8:53Speaker 2: said with Rabel, you set that expectation that they want, Hey,
- 8:56Speaker 2: we want you here, but you know, our main you
- 9:00Speaker 2: have to is to win football games, not get Stefan
- 9:03Speaker 2: Diggs his numbers. As long as you're up, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 2: we believe that getting you balls is going to help
- 9:08Speaker 2: us win. But there might be some games where it's
- 9:11Speaker 2: run first.
- 9:12Speaker 10: Yeah, it's hard to believe.
- 9:13Speaker 2: You set that expectation up front.
- 9:16Speaker 9: It's hard to believe Raebel would let a player like
- 9:18Speaker 9: walk all over him like that. You like, it's just
- 9:21Speaker 9: not hard to believe, it's inconceivable.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:23Speaker 3: I like that the infrastructure they've added, and I think
- 9:26Speaker 3: you know, all four of those guys that we met
- 9:28Speaker 3: last week and the press conferences just came off as
- 9:31Speaker 3: outstanding members of the team. And I am very interested
- 9:35Speaker 3: in what Alice said. I I am a little skeptical
- 9:37Speaker 3: that he tours ACL and now he's humbled. But maybe
- 9:40Speaker 3: the interest on the market has humbled him a little bit,
- 9:42Speaker 3: and that's why he's That's what I'm But I think
- 9:46Speaker 3: if he was healthy, there's no question he's a number one.
- 9:49Speaker 3: He's the best available wide receiver.
- 9:51Speaker 9: And there's a whole narrative out about him now, like
- 9:54Speaker 9: the way it ended in Buffalo. So it's like, is
- 9:57Speaker 9: that a reputation he wants and he thinks is fair?
- 9:59Speaker 6: Me?
- 10:00Speaker 10: He wants to do everything he can to overcome that reputation,
- 10:02Speaker 10: you know.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he wants the narrative to be look
- 10:05Speaker 2: what I did when I came to Buffalo for josh Allah.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean that is the narrative for a
- 10:10Speaker 4: lot of people. And maybe he looks at Drake May
- 10:12Speaker 4: and says, I'll do the same thing. Right, I'm a
- 10:14Speaker 4: little older, but I'll come in and you know, we'll
- 10:17Speaker 4: get Drake Mada where we got josh Allen, you know, right,
- 10:20Speaker 4: Josh Allen twenty nineteen was his second year, had a
- 10:22Speaker 4: really good year. They went ten and six. They get
- 10:25Speaker 4: Stefon Diggs there and the AFC Championship Game the next year,
- 10:27Speaker 4: right like that, and he was the best receiver in
- 10:30Speaker 4: football in his first year in Buffalo. I'm not saying
- 10:33Speaker 4: he's gonna put up fifteen hundred yards with the Patriots,
- 10:35Speaker 4: but you look at what he did for Alan and
- 10:38Speaker 4: there's no doubt that it was a big part of that.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So that's on the table. And then I mentioned,
- 10:44Speaker 2: now I could be wrong. I thought it was Mark
- 10:46Speaker 2: Daniels had a report about at least a handful of
- 10:49Speaker 2: tackles that the Patriots took swings at in Kenya short
- 10:52Speaker 2: well so far in the offseason, and of course the
- 10:56Speaker 2: outrage followed. You know, what are they doing? Why can't
- 10:59Speaker 2: they know? Why are they cheaping out on these people?
- 11:02Speaker 2: And I don't know the details of each one and
- 11:05Speaker 2: exactly why it flew under the radar, you know, because
- 11:09Speaker 2: at the time, obviously when they were showing interest and
- 11:13Speaker 2: negotiating with these people and their agents, we didn't hear
- 11:16Speaker 2: about it. So this is all after the fact stuff.
- 11:20Speaker 2: But what do you think. I just I don't know
- 11:22Speaker 2: much more.
- 11:22Speaker 3: You can ask for them, like they are in on
- 11:24Speaker 3: everybody that they should be in on, going back to
- 11:26Speaker 3: last year with the receivers that they were in on.
- 11:29Speaker 3: They're not going to get everybody. They're a bad team
- 11:31Speaker 3: the last two years. They need to get the momentum
- 11:33Speaker 3: going again. Not everyone's going to want to come here,
- 11:35Speaker 3: even if they're going to get a big pay bump.
- 11:38Speaker 3: But the fact that they're you know, showing interest in
- 11:40Speaker 3: I mean, I know all these reports you can probably
- 11:41Speaker 3: say some of them maybe are true. I don't know
- 11:43Speaker 3: exactly what the true scenario is are they in on?
- 11:46Speaker 3: But it sure sounds like any receiver, any tackle anybody
- 11:50Speaker 3: who hits the market, they're at least reaching out.
- 11:52Speaker 2: It's not like they're signing on their hands and define interest,
- 11:54Speaker 2: because interest could simply be talking to the agents. You know,
- 11:59Speaker 2: here's here's kind of where we go. You know, what
- 12:01Speaker 2: are you asking for this type of thing. There's varying
- 12:05Speaker 2: degrees of interest. Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's the interest
- 12:08Speaker 2: that you show in uh, you know some of the
- 12:11Speaker 2: guys that you know, we brought in last week. And
- 12:15Speaker 2: then there's you know, casual interest just hey, we're doing
- 12:18Speaker 2: our due diligence. So I don't know the level of
- 12:20Speaker 2: interest that they had. But if it did come down
- 12:22Speaker 2: to money, if the reason why they missed on any
- 12:25Speaker 2: one of these guys was purely money, how do you
- 12:27Speaker 2: feel about that?
- 12:29Speaker 4: Well, it depends on the player. Like you know, I
- 12:31Speaker 4: wrote something today about the offensive line and Dan Moore Junior,
- 12:35Speaker 4: in my mind, got the worst contract in free agency.
- 12:38Speaker 4: The Titans are paying him twenty million dollars a year
- 12:41Speaker 4: to play left tackle. He gave up the most sacks
- 12:43Speaker 4: in the league last year in Pittsburgh, So that to
- 12:46Speaker 4: me was a horrible contract by Tennessee. But that doesn't
- 12:49Speaker 4: mean you know that the Patriots were in I don't
- 12:52Speaker 4: know that was the reporting. I think from Mark and
- 12:55Speaker 4: other people that they showed us some interest in Dan
- 12:57Speaker 4: Moore Junior. But I have no problem what's ever with
- 13:00Speaker 4: them tapping out on that one and saying, we're not
- 13:02Speaker 4: going to pay this guy twenty million dollars a year.
- 13:05Speaker 3: You know.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Jalen Moore is the other big one that went from
- 13:07Speaker 4: San Francisco to the Chiefs, and he's been a spot
- 13:12Speaker 4: starter for San Francisco and Trent Williams is in and
- 13:15Speaker 4: out of the lineup. He has been starting at left tackle,
- 13:17Speaker 4: so over four years in San Francisco, he has twelve
- 13:20Speaker 4: starts under his belt, so he is definitely not a
- 13:23Speaker 4: short things. Has some really good tape, but it's not
- 13:27Speaker 4: you know, there's not a lot of volume there with him.
- 13:29Speaker 4: So those are the two top left tackles that have
- 13:31Speaker 4: moved so far, and both those guys have real question
- 13:35Speaker 4: marks at the position. So I don't know if the
- 13:37Speaker 4: Patriots were in a position to pay a guy starter
- 13:40Speaker 4: money that's only started twelve games in his career over
- 13:43Speaker 4: four years, like they the Chiefs can take that chance.
- 13:47Speaker 4: You know, they have a little bit of that built
- 13:49Speaker 4: up equity, but I don't know if the Patriots do.
- 13:51Speaker 4: I think the one that you second guess a little
- 13:53Speaker 4: bit is Cam Robinson. And there's conflicting reports about whether
- 13:56Speaker 4: or not they were in on Cam Robinson. Some people
- 13:58Speaker 4: say yes, some people say no. But he signed a
- 14:01Speaker 4: one year, twelve and a half million dollar deal with
- 14:04Speaker 4: the Texans. There wasn't a great market for him. Some
- 14:07Speaker 4: people thought he was going to cash in. He did not.
- 14:10Speaker 4: The Patriots as a stopgap, as a bridge to a
- 14:13Speaker 4: rookie made a lot of sense for them, but he
- 14:16Speaker 4: picked to go to Houston.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Got a wonder with Doug Maron being here that I
- 14:20Speaker 3: just think he's a great example of a lot of
- 14:22Speaker 3: what we deal with in free agency. When a guy
- 14:24Speaker 3: has a name, no matter how good he was or
- 14:26Speaker 3: wasn't last season. You know his name, maybe he was
- 14:28Speaker 3: a former first round pick. People are just make it happen.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Make it happen. He must be good because he has
- 14:34Speaker 3: I know his name, right, but you don't know. I mean,
- 14:37Speaker 3: speak left it in the content speaking of someone whose
- 14:39Speaker 3: name we know.
- 14:40Speaker 2: I would sign Tyron Smith, not necessarily to be a starter,
- 14:44Speaker 2: to be the left tackle on Day one, but to
- 14:46Speaker 2: be a guy on your depth chart who can play
- 14:49Speaker 2: left or right side as tackle, has a lot of
- 14:52Speaker 2: veteran experience. Guys are gonna get hurt, you know, Morgan
- 14:57Speaker 2: Moses might miss a few games. Whoever where you bring
- 15:00Speaker 2: in at left tackle might miss. And having Tyron Smith
- 15:03Speaker 2: and I think the money wouldn't be crazy having me
- 15:06Speaker 2: having an on your team gives me a level of
- 15:10Speaker 2: security to have that type of experience on my on
- 15:14Speaker 2: my bench. I think it's worth doing. He's out there.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been.
- 15:19Speaker 2: And if he has to start day one, he can
- 15:20Speaker 2: start day one.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Oh, I think he can still start. I mean he
- 15:23Speaker 4: was a starter, ving starter caliber player for the Jets
- 15:26Speaker 4: last year at left tackle. Uh, he's still a good player.
- 15:29Speaker 4: I mean I would say he's probably at this point
- 15:31Speaker 4: like a serviceable starter, not like a Hall of Fame
- 15:34Speaker 4: starter like he was a couple of years ago in Dallas,
- 15:37Speaker 4: but as a bridge to a highly drafted rookie. And
- 15:41Speaker 4: there's nobody better to learn how to play left tackle
- 15:44Speaker 4: from than Tyron Smith. So if you if you draft
- 15:47Speaker 4: Will Campbell, or you draft you know somebody maybe even
- 15:50Speaker 4: a little bit later like connorly Ursery or something like that,
- 15:53Speaker 4: and you hand him to Tyron Smith and say, you know, Yoda,
- 15:56Speaker 4: teach him right.
- 15:57Speaker 2: The thing is, he's not good Will Campbell or very
- 16:00Speaker 2: few people are gonna be able to do what Tyron
- 16:01Speaker 2: Smith did. I mean, I think he's a Hall of Famer. Uh.
- 16:05Speaker 2: And his measurables are perfect, like they're they're they're the
- 16:11Speaker 2: prototypical left tackle measurables.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Yeah, but I just think there's something to be said
- 16:15Speaker 4: for even just watching a guy like that practice and
- 16:19Speaker 4: watching it and watching him go about his business exactly.
- 16:23Speaker 3: They could surgically remove an inch from each of his
- 16:25Speaker 3: arms and give it to Will Campbell and he still
- 16:26Speaker 3: would still.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Have above the threshold arm. Now he's not going to
- 16:31Speaker 2: practice every day. I mean, you're gonna have to manage
- 16:34Speaker 2: a guy like Tyron's. I think it's worth it. I do.
- 16:37Speaker 2: What are the other options, right, just to have him
- 16:39Speaker 2: on the team, you know, again, if you have to,
- 16:41Speaker 2: if you haven't solved left tackle on day one, he
- 16:44Speaker 2: starts on day one. If it's Will Campbell, I want
- 16:47Speaker 2: Will Campbell starting on day one. But like I said,
- 16:49Speaker 2: injuries are gonna happen, you know, and you have this
- 16:53Speaker 2: guy on your bench ready to go, you know, when
- 16:56Speaker 2: you need him.
- 16:57Speaker 4: The contractor Jets signed him to last year is really
- 17:00Speaker 4: appealing to me. It was a one year incentive laiden deal.
- 17:03Speaker 4: If he plays, he makes franchise tackle money. If he
- 17:06Speaker 4: doesn't play, he doesn't get paid. And in that contract
- 17:08Speaker 4: it was you know, that's exactly what I would look
- 17:10Speaker 4: forward with the Patriots to do. Is one year. You
- 17:14Speaker 4: can probably max out at eighteen twenty million dollars a
- 17:17Speaker 4: year if you have a really, really good, you know,
- 17:18Speaker 4: Pro Bowl level season. But if not, then you know,
- 17:22Speaker 4: they can put him on the bench. But if the
- 17:23Speaker 4: rookie beats him out or whatever the case may be,
- 17:26Speaker 4: but you're gonna have to throw a lot of money
- 17:28Speaker 4: at him. I think you think you think so well
- 17:31Speaker 4: at thirty four, like, I would imagine that his incentive
- 17:33Speaker 4: of playing right now is money in rings, right Like,
- 17:35Speaker 4: I can't really think of any other reason for him
- 17:38Speaker 4: to be playing. So if you're going to get him
- 17:41Speaker 4: to come to a place like this, it's going to
- 17:42Speaker 4: have to be money.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I mean I I just remember, I didn't
- 17:47Speaker 2: think that the deal that the Jets signed with him
- 17:49Speaker 2: broke the bank last year.
- 17:51Speaker 4: It was it was very incentive based, so it. You know,
- 17:54Speaker 4: it always gets reported about the max value of these contracts.
- 17:58Speaker 4: So I think that for Tyrontsant to come here, like
- 18:01Speaker 4: you're probably talking about sixteen to eighteen million dollars.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Let me get on the phone with him. And that
- 18:06Speaker 2: that leads me to the next point. You know, when
- 18:09Speaker 2: it comes to the Patriots showing interest in these guys
- 18:11Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, not getting it done. My question is,
- 18:16Speaker 2: who's the closer here. Who's the guy who makes the
- 18:20Speaker 2: closing pitch?
- 18:22Speaker 4: Is it Rabel?
- 18:22Speaker 2: Is it Elliott Wolf? I don't know.
- 18:25Speaker 3: I mean I like Rabel in that role. Yeah, I
- 18:27Speaker 3: mean that seems like he's the kind of guy that
- 18:29Speaker 3: can cut through the bs and be like, look, this
- 18:30Speaker 3: is what this team's going to be, this is how
- 18:32Speaker 3: I want you to play. I'm going to be a
- 18:34Speaker 3: straight shooter with you. I think that's you know, that's.
- 18:36Speaker 10: The command's respect.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I think as we've seen from
- 18:40Speaker 3: all these guys, they have such respect for him. Yeah,
- 18:42Speaker 3: having done it in the league, and that to me
- 18:45Speaker 3: seems like the perfect you know, let Elliott work out
- 18:47Speaker 3: the deals. The parameters.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Part of the media, maybe you know, in the next
- 18:50Speaker 2: press conference, that'd be a question I would ask, Forrabel,
- 18:55Speaker 2: who's your closer? Is it you? Like, who's that guy
- 18:58Speaker 2: that closes the.
- 19:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not the linemen that had been floated out
- 19:03Speaker 4: for them though, Like none of those guys were guys
- 19:05Speaker 4: that I would have breaked the bank for, Like if
- 19:08Speaker 4: Ronnie Stanley had hit free agency, I'm backing up the
- 19:10Speaker 4: Brinks truck, Like, whatever it takes to get that player here,
- 19:13Speaker 4: you know what they tried to do. It sounds like
- 19:15Speaker 4: with Chris Godwin right, like you're offering him five ten
- 19:18Speaker 4: million dollars over market value to try to get him here.
- 19:21Speaker 4: But the fact that they didn't do that for Dan
- 19:23Speaker 4: Moore Junior or Patrick McCarry or like any of those
- 19:27Speaker 4: other guys, Like, I'm not gonna get all up in
- 19:30Speaker 4: arms about that, you know. I think Morgan Moses was
- 19:32Speaker 4: a really solid signing. I like Garrett Bradbury more than
- 19:35Speaker 4: a lot of other people, but I think that's a
- 19:37Speaker 4: really solid move for them at center. So like I'm
- 19:40Speaker 4: okay with those moves, Like they obviously still have a
- 19:42Speaker 4: left tackle hole, but.
- 19:43Speaker 2: I mean Minnesota has a young guy now who's on
- 19:46Speaker 2: a rookie contract or what's the second year.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Well, they signed Ryan Kelly. Yeah for the time being.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's on a shorter, you know, a smaller contract,
- 19:56Speaker 2: and they think he's a little bit better than Bradbury.
- 19:59Speaker 2: So they felt that Bradbury's expendable. That doesn't mean Bradbury
- 20:02Speaker 2: is not a good player anymore.
- 20:03Speaker 3: No, It's also just every year in free agency you
- 20:06Speaker 3: want to plug all your holes. And it doesn't necessarily
- 20:09Speaker 3: mean that like he has to be the starter and
- 20:11Speaker 3: that's it and we're set for the future. It's get
- 20:13Speaker 3: solid NFL players and he's a starting caliber center and
- 20:17Speaker 3: then try to if you get a chance to upgrade
- 20:18Speaker 3: in the draft, and you know you don't have to
- 20:20Speaker 3: reach for needs. I still just look at left tackle
- 20:23Speaker 3: and you know, if they're able to find a number
- 20:25Speaker 3: one type wide receiver, those are the two glaring holes
- 20:27Speaker 3: to me on the roster. Otherwise, I think that they
- 20:29Speaker 3: have a pretty solid baseline to go into the draft
- 20:31Speaker 3: and start to stack real talent, which is what we'll
- 20:34Speaker 3: take this team and.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Ryan Wrights in. With the Patriots having more money than
- 20:36Speaker 2: they can realistically spend, I'd love to see them over
- 20:39Speaker 2: pay for Digs for two years, Tyron Smith for one year.
- 20:42Speaker 2: What's the downside, even if they draft to tackle at four,
- 20:45Speaker 2: let him sit behind Smith for a little while. That's
- 20:47Speaker 2: what the Jets did last year. As much as I
- 20:49Speaker 2: hate doing anything, the Jets thought was smart.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Just stealing both their tackles from last year.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I like adding the second
- 20:57Speaker 4: year to Diggs's contract because if he does bow back
- 21:00Speaker 4: and he has a big year, then you have him
- 21:02Speaker 4: under team control for twenty six, which I think would
- 21:05Speaker 4: be appealing. But at this point, you offer those types
- 21:09Speaker 4: of contracts and you have the cap space to absorb it.
- 21:12Speaker 4: Just one year two year deals, like, don't overextend in
- 21:15Speaker 4: terms of term, but I think you can get those
- 21:18Speaker 4: guys at this point free agency.
- 21:20Speaker 2: What other topics do we need to put on the table.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Well, they signed the linebacker yesterday, Jack Gibbons, who was
- 21:27Speaker 3: with Rabel down to Tennessee. You know, kind of similar
- 21:31Speaker 3: play style to Spalline. I would say they're just both
- 21:33Speaker 3: too off the ball linebackers who play fast and you know,
- 21:36Speaker 3: really rally to the ball. Saw the report today that
- 21:39Speaker 3: Jawan Bentley has dropped some weight from Mike Gardi these
- 21:41Speaker 3: down in the two thirties. I think all these things
- 21:44Speaker 3: are signaling what we kind of know that this is
- 21:46Speaker 3: going to be an up the field, attacking, fly to
- 21:48Speaker 3: the ball kind of defense, not a two gaping you know,
- 21:51Speaker 3: build the wall, hold guys up. It's going to be
- 21:54Speaker 3: a lot different.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I think what's on the schedule this year that's more
- 21:56Speaker 2: of a power team that you know, if you are
- 21:59Speaker 2: a smaller fan, aster team might be a little bit
- 22:02Speaker 2: of a matchup challenge.
- 22:03Speaker 4: It's a good question. I haven't looked that far.
- 22:05Speaker 3: I mean, you're playing the AFC North, so those are
- 22:07Speaker 3: obviously a lot of tough teams. You know, maybe Miami,
- 22:10Speaker 3: I mean, you can maybe convince me Miami, you know
- 22:12Speaker 3: that's the kind of team you want to you know,
- 22:13Speaker 3: our first speech speed, Well, just be able.
- 22:16Speaker 2: To know I'm talking about like a team that we
- 22:18Speaker 2: would if we are speed you know.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Yeah, Well the Ravens, the AFC North teams tend to,
- 22:26Speaker 3: you know, play that style of football. But you know,
- 22:28Speaker 3: I just I think it's there's more than one way
- 22:31Speaker 3: to skin a cat, and I think all defenses. It's
- 22:33Speaker 3: just if they play together and everybody buys in, uh,
- 22:36Speaker 3: then you know it can be good. It doesn't matter
- 22:37Speaker 3: what what you want to play. Three four you want
- 22:39Speaker 3: to you know, four to three, all that stuff, like
- 22:41Speaker 3: just play hard and get everybody together. But I'm really
- 22:44Speaker 3: curious with that signing with him. Where does where does
- 22:48Speaker 3: Bentley fit in? And where does you know Jilani Tavai
- 22:50Speaker 3: fit in in this defense? You know, I just I
- 22:52Speaker 3: think they're setting up for competition, and you know, it
- 22:55Speaker 3: seems like the message has been sent to Bentley like
- 22:56Speaker 3: we're gonna ask a little different of you this year,
- 22:59Speaker 3: and it seems like he's trying to do his best
- 23:01Speaker 3: to fit into their plans.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Yeah, So the Raiders reportedly signed Christian Ellis to an
- 23:06Speaker 4: offer sheet, and then the Patriots reacted to that by
- 23:10Speaker 4: signing Jack Gibbons, which tells me that they're probably not
- 23:13Speaker 4: going to match Christian Ellis's off for sheet. They're very
- 23:16Speaker 4: similar players, you know, kind of depth inside linebacker, course,
- 23:20Speaker 4: special teamer types, you know, athletic guys, tackle guys, you
- 23:25Speaker 4: know that kind of thing. I think that they're probably
- 23:28Speaker 4: redundant to each other, so that might be what that
- 23:30Speaker 4: move was all about. But I would like to see
- 23:33Speaker 4: them play Bentley and Splain together. I think, you know,
- 23:36Speaker 4: there's still a big role for that sledgehammer like Bentley
- 23:39Speaker 4: in the middle. I think they missed him last year
- 23:41Speaker 4: on their run. Yeah, let's fly around exactly, keep him clean,
- 23:47Speaker 4: let him fly around and you know, chase the football
- 23:49Speaker 4: that Bentley do his thing in the trenches and you
- 23:52Speaker 4: have a nice little one two punch there. But you know,
- 23:55Speaker 4: to buy it's an interesting one, Like you know, if
- 23:57Speaker 4: those two guys are going to be your starting inside linebackers,
- 24:01Speaker 4: Like where is that leave to bue?
- 24:03Speaker 3: I just wonder. I mean, it's probably more Jennings, a
- 24:05Speaker 3: strong side outside linebacker standing up when you're in base.
- 24:09Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that's where he is. Maybe he's a little
- 24:11Speaker 3: more athletic than than Jennings is on the edge. I mean,
- 24:13Speaker 3: that's kind of where I'm shoehorning him in. But it's
- 24:16Speaker 3: it's hard to see. I mean, the way splane runs,
- 24:18Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be hard to take him off the field.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah, ye, John and Derby England says, just quick question, who,
- 24:24Speaker 2: in your opinion is the best O lineman in Patriots history.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Surely it's John Hannah, I would agree. Surely you m
- 24:29Speaker 2: Hall of Fame Canton Patriots Hall of Fame coincidentally taken
- 24:32Speaker 2: at number four in his draft class. Surely Will Campbell
- 24:35Speaker 2: is a no brainer, as he can slot into Hannah's
- 24:38Speaker 2: position if he struggles to tackle, and let's be honest,
- 24:41Speaker 2: if he is half the player Hannah was, then this
- 24:43Speaker 2: will be a home run all day long. We can
- 24:46Speaker 2: trade back into the later first round for a decent receiver,
- 24:49Speaker 2: but for me, it has to be Campbell at four.
- 24:52Speaker 3: You know, I think we spent so much time.
- 24:54Speaker 2: I saw a mod draft today that had us trading
- 24:56Speaker 2: down to I think eight and still being able to
- 24:59Speaker 2: take Campbell.
- 25:00Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't seem crazy, but I think I spent
- 25:03Speaker 3: so much time in the last couple of weeks talking
- 25:04Speaker 3: about Campbell's length. Like maybe on the positive side, it's
- 25:07Speaker 3: like this guy runs like the wind and I forget
- 25:09Speaker 3: what the number was exactly, but with like the tracking
- 25:12Speaker 3: something crazy, like he's hitting like eighteen miles an hour
- 25:14Speaker 3: out there getting down the field. So I just don't
- 25:17Speaker 3: want to spend too much time on Will Campbell, just
- 25:19Speaker 3: relentlessly talking about his arm link when like the guy
- 25:22Speaker 3: is a super athlete, like crazy good athlete. I don't
- 25:25Speaker 3: know if it'll all translate to tackle, but I still
- 25:28Speaker 3: I've never closed the door on Will Campbell. I think
- 25:31Speaker 3: he's a great player. I mean, when I see him talk,
- 25:33Speaker 3: it just reminds me of a vable kind of guy,
- 25:36Speaker 3: and that to me is a good indication that hey,
- 25:38Speaker 3: maybe it doesn't work out at left tackle, but we
- 25:41Speaker 3: all know they just they need to build the line
- 25:43Speaker 3: up and having a guy in the middle who's really
- 25:45Speaker 3: good that's going to be a benefit for Drake Maye too.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean my first reaction to the arm line
- 25:51Speaker 4: thing was obviously to roll it out, just because I
- 25:54Speaker 4: don't think that there's a great path for him being
- 25:57Speaker 4: a high level tackle with his measurables. But at the
- 26:01Speaker 4: same time, now we get closer to it, it's like
- 26:04Speaker 4: such a frable guy like is intangibles are just off
- 26:08Speaker 4: the charts. You know, he's one of those guys that
- 26:10Speaker 4: is going to be a captain in his second year
- 26:12Speaker 4: and just like lead the room for a decade. Like
- 26:15Speaker 4: whether he's a guard, whether he's a tackle, he's going
- 26:18Speaker 4: to do those types of things. I love the story
- 26:20Speaker 4: about him wearing number seven as a patch on his
- 26:23Speaker 4: jersey because he wasn't eligible to wear number seven in
- 26:25Speaker 4: the games, and number seven is LSU's best player on
- 26:29Speaker 4: the roster. Period on either side of the ball, they
- 26:32Speaker 4: give the number seven out to that player. So he
- 26:34Speaker 4: wore the number seven as a little patch on his
- 26:37Speaker 4: jersey last year at LSU. So that just tells you,
- 26:40Speaker 4: like what they thought of him, like as a as
- 26:42Speaker 4: a player and as a human being. So I just
- 26:45Speaker 4: when you hear all that stuff and then you put
- 26:47Speaker 4: it together with the need on the offensive line that
- 26:50Speaker 4: the Patriots have, it's like, I mean, how can you
- 26:53Speaker 4: really talk yourself out of it? At that point?
- 26:56Speaker 9: He choosers element to his sense for me at least personally, like,
- 26:59Speaker 9: I mean, you guys have given a lot of credence
- 27:02Speaker 9: to the arm length here and there, but for me personally,
- 27:05Speaker 9: it's like it seems like such a I know it's significant,
- 27:09Speaker 9: but it's like, how can you just turn away?
- 27:13Speaker 2: I'm really warming talking about Campbell. Yeah, I'm warming up
- 27:17Speaker 2: to him at four. I just think he's going to
- 27:20Speaker 2: be a good football player.
- 27:21Speaker 9: Yeah, and unless Carter are still there, which just feels
- 27:25Speaker 9: more unrealistic every day.
- 27:27Speaker 4: It's like, haven't lost when you get to that next
- 27:31Speaker 4: group too, Like they're all imperfect prospects. So like now
- 27:35Speaker 4: we're just talking about who's the best for the Patriots,
- 27:38Speaker 4: and like Ted McMillan is a slow receiver, Like do
- 27:41Speaker 4: you want to draft a guy that ran a four
- 27:43Speaker 4: four five at his pro day at four overall? You know,
- 27:46Speaker 4: Mason Graham is a smaller interior defensive tackle like that
- 27:50Speaker 4: that is not as much of a I would say
- 27:53Speaker 4: outlier as Will Campbell's arm length, but it's still not ideal.
- 27:57Speaker 4: So all these guys, you know, gents are running back
- 28:00Speaker 4: like so like you're you're talking about, there's no really
- 28:03Speaker 4: consensus answer. Like last year we could all get our
- 28:06Speaker 4: heads around Drake May like that was a consensus slam
- 28:09Speaker 4: dunk pick. This year, if Hunter and Carter aren't there,
- 28:12Speaker 4: there isn't one, So you can talk yourself into anything.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, some people are saying, if Travis Hunter is
- 28:21Speaker 2: there and you should you should trade down. That was
- 28:24Speaker 2: the mock I saw today. The team that moved up
- 28:28Speaker 2: into the Patriots slot took Hunter, No was it Hunter
- 28:31Speaker 2: or Carter? One of the two took them, and we
- 28:33Speaker 2: moved down and ended up still being able to take
- 28:36Speaker 2: Will Campbell.
- 28:37Speaker 3: That'd be disappointing to me.
- 28:38Speaker 4: I don't think you can do that.
- 28:39Speaker 3: I think if Carter Hunter there, those those guys are special.
- 28:43Speaker 4: You would really well, your gun would have to be right.
- 28:46Speaker 2: But the one thing I didn't see, and I didn't
- 28:48Speaker 2: click on the Bitley link or whatever, But I don't
- 28:50Speaker 2: know what the Patriots got in return.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Right, No, I think I saw the one you're saying,
- 28:53Speaker 3: and it wasn't another first round pick the round. Yeah,
- 28:58Speaker 3: but they traded down to like eleven or something.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so they must have gotten quite a bit
- 29:03Speaker 2: in return. So like, if you can get another two
- 29:06Speaker 2: win of three this year, I mean, and now you
- 29:07Speaker 2: have stuff to package to move up back into the
- 29:10Speaker 2: first round at the bottom, or extra picks in the
- 29:13Speaker 2: second round to pick tackles and wide receiver, you know,
- 29:16Speaker 2: I mean.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Would you pass on Cutter Hunter for a next year one?
- 29:20Speaker 4: No, No, I'm not passing on either of those guys,
- 29:23Speaker 4: and I don't think they will either. Like I don't
- 29:25Speaker 4: know as much about Abdul Carter, but I cannot get
- 29:28Speaker 4: the conversation that we had with Elliott Wolf at the
- 29:30Speaker 4: Combine out of my head when we started talking about
- 29:32Speaker 4: Travis Hunter, Like, so you're telling me that that that
- 29:35Speaker 4: guy is going to pass on that player? No chance.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Here's a little bit. And again I haven't really delve
- 29:40Speaker 2: into tape. But whenever somebody puts a melt together of
- 29:46Speaker 2: Hunter highlights at receiver, they're always the same four or
- 29:50Speaker 2: five clips.
- 29:52Speaker 4: I mean he had he had sixteen touchdowns and like.
- 29:56Speaker 11: A lot of them.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a lot of red zone touchdowns. Some
- 30:01Speaker 4: of that I think is more about the offense than anything,
- 30:04Speaker 4: Like they couldn't protect the quarterback so you know, getting
- 30:07Speaker 4: him down the field was.
- 30:08Speaker 2: He didn't have any well you know, and I shouldn't
- 30:11Speaker 2: hold this against him, but he didn't have one touchdown
- 30:13Speaker 2: over sixty yards, which you know, Yeah, I mean I
- 30:16Speaker 2: think he had a lot of that is a circumstance.
- 30:18Speaker 4: I think he had one that was like fifty one.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:21Speaker 4: His uh, he is a natural receiver, but he's not
- 30:25Speaker 4: a refined receiver. Like he's got natural instincts for the position.
- 30:30Speaker 4: But if he's going to play a receiver full time,
- 30:32Speaker 4: then he's gonna have to get in the lab and
- 30:34Speaker 4: work on some of the details of the position.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Now. But where I do see the natural ability and
- 30:39Speaker 2: its apparent it is that cornerback, Like it's just his makeup, speed,
- 30:43Speaker 2: his instincts, his hands, his ability to just be in
- 30:47Speaker 2: the pocket with the receiver, you know, and even when
- 30:51Speaker 2: he's not, like I said, the makeup speed, knowing when
- 30:55Speaker 2: to break on the ball. I think he's right away,
- 30:58Speaker 2: he's he's a pro bowl cornerback right out of the gate.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting how the rosters lining up now, like
- 31:05Speaker 3: how we would fit in and how they might work that.
- 31:07Speaker 3: I mean, you love, you know, having Calton Davis on
- 31:09Speaker 3: the outside. Now you feel like outside is kind of
- 31:11Speaker 3: taken care of. I still think slot's a big question,
- 31:14Speaker 3: and I don't I mean that might be where he is,
- 31:16Speaker 3: you know, like you wait, put him out there on
- 31:18Speaker 3: third downs and you know, put him, move him around
- 31:21Speaker 3: and he can kind of well, you know, he doesn't
- 31:23Speaker 3: have to play.
- 31:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't love him in the slot, and I
- 31:25Speaker 4: don't think he's not He's not I don't think overly
- 31:31Speaker 4: sticky in that sense, like if you're going to have
- 31:33Speaker 4: him cover like little slot receivers and stuff like that,
- 31:36Speaker 4: I'm not sure that that's necessarily his strength. His strength
- 31:39Speaker 4: is his his length, his ball skills, his ballhowking ability
- 31:43Speaker 4: like all those types of things. So I don't know
- 31:45Speaker 4: if the slot would necessarily be the best spot for
- 31:49Speaker 4: him at corner. But I mean you can't go wrong
- 31:52Speaker 4: with him on either side of the ball. And I
- 31:54Speaker 4: just think at receiver and I thought Andrew Berry the
- 31:57Speaker 4: Browns GM put it perfectly like a receiver, he's going
- 32:00Speaker 4: to touch the ball five to ten times a game
- 32:02Speaker 4: at corner, maybe he touches it once, right, So, like,
- 32:05Speaker 4: if you have a guy with this kind of game
- 32:07Speaker 4: breaking ability in terms of play speed and all that
- 32:10Speaker 4: kind of stuff, like, wouldn't you want him to play
- 32:12Speaker 4: the position where he's going to impact the game the most.
- 32:15Speaker 4: And that's clearly going to be at wide receivers.
- 32:17Speaker 3: I mean you could get asked in gents about thirty
- 32:18Speaker 3: touches a game out of if you're interested. No, I
- 32:23Speaker 3: mean I look at Stefan Diggs and his skill as
- 32:26Speaker 3: a route runner, and if you could give that to
- 32:28Speaker 3: Travis Hunter and MRT, I mean you would really be
- 32:31Speaker 3: cooking with something with that guy.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Floyd and Redford Michigan says, please stop this intangible talk
- 32:36Speaker 2: with Will Campbell and to hear Alex bring up beggars
- 32:39Speaker 2: not being choosers. Please tell me the last time a
- 32:41Speaker 2: desperate person made a good decision.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Oh that's tough.
- 32:46Speaker 10: Well, it's either make it, like what's the alternative.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Well, I just whether you like it or not, they
- 32:52Speaker 4: care about the intangible stuff, so like caout it, whether
- 32:56Speaker 4: we care about it, whether the listeners care about it,
- 32:59Speaker 4: you know.
- 32:59Speaker 2: And so the intangibles he's talking about is just his attitude, leadership, leadership,
- 33:06Speaker 2: and yeah, listen, I think it matters. I think it
- 33:09Speaker 2: does matter.
- 33:10Speaker 3: It matters to me one hundred percent. And I mean
- 33:12Speaker 3: I wish Paul was here because he probably, you know,
- 33:14Speaker 3: make fun of me for still believing in Santa Claus.
- 33:16Speaker 3: But nothing's going to shake me from building a team,
- 33:20Speaker 3: you know, building a team finding the right guys. And
- 33:22Speaker 3: that's what incited me last week is these are the
- 33:25Speaker 3: kind of guys that you build the locker room around
- 33:26Speaker 3: and you know, can change the culture.
- 33:28Speaker 10: And these guys don't grow on trees.
- 33:31Speaker 3: I mean, it's and it seems like they did their
- 33:33Speaker 3: homework with These were verbels kind of guys, and that
- 33:35Speaker 3: has colored how I look at a lot of these
- 33:37Speaker 3: draft prospects. So do I think that, you know, if
- 33:40Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs got here and started to, you know, get
- 33:43Speaker 3: a little gripy about things like I trust that Josh
- 33:46Speaker 3: McDaniels and Mike Vrabel, you know have the skill to
- 33:49Speaker 3: handle that, and I also feel like they're rebuilding the
- 33:51Speaker 3: infrastructure that they need. But to me, a good football
- 33:54Speaker 3: team and I just this is my personal experience. The
- 33:57Speaker 3: best teams I were on were the teams where we
- 33:58Speaker 3: weren't necessarily the most talented, but we were always the
- 34:00Speaker 3: team that was all pulling together and everybody got what
- 34:03Speaker 3: we were trying to do. And we had more talented
- 34:05Speaker 3: teams with guys who are painting the ass and you know,
- 34:07Speaker 3: we're over in the side of the locker room trying
- 34:09Speaker 3: to stir discension about the coach, and those teams always
- 34:12Speaker 3: had huge disappointments, So I know you're kind of chasing
- 34:15Speaker 3: a moving target with this kind of thing. You're never
- 34:17Speaker 3: going to have a team full of boy scouts, but
- 34:19Speaker 3: it means the NFL especially, you know, it's really hard
- 34:22Speaker 3: to have that. But it's important to me, and it's
- 34:24Speaker 3: certainly something that I look at when I'm considering all
- 34:27Speaker 3: these guys.
- 34:27Speaker 4: Especially in your one of a program, Like if we
- 34:29Speaker 4: were three years into Mike Rabel, then it might be
- 34:32Speaker 4: a little bit different, but they're trying to establish something here,
- 34:35Speaker 4: like they're trying to lay a foundation and when we
- 34:37Speaker 4: were at the Senior Bowl. I asked Ryan Cowden, like,
- 34:40Speaker 4: what's a Verabel player? And he said, I know it
- 34:42Speaker 4: sounds cliche, but effort and finish. Like we are going
- 34:45Speaker 4: to be about effort and finish and everybody that we
- 34:48Speaker 4: are going to invest in is going to play that way.
- 34:51Speaker 4: And when you look at the free agent signings, they're
- 34:53Speaker 4: all those types of guys. You know, we talk about
- 34:55Speaker 4: that with Robert Splain especially, but it's it's pretty much
- 34:58Speaker 4: everybody across the board plays with a really good motor
- 35:01Speaker 4: and a really good you know, effort and finish and
- 35:04Speaker 4: their professionals and like all that kind of stuff, and
- 35:07Speaker 4: that's like a baseline half to have.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Well, I think on defense, certainly, you know, defense you
- 35:13Speaker 2: can make up for, you know, a lack of talent
- 35:17Speaker 2: to a certain degree with your effort and how you finish.
- 35:21Speaker 2: On offense, you know, on the line you can still
- 35:24Speaker 2: but you need some talent. We need to get some
- 35:27Speaker 2: talent onto this team. We need an infusion of talent.
- 35:30Speaker 2: We need to weaponize the offense.
- 35:35Speaker 4: I didn't use that one this year.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Uh, Nate's in Connecticut, He's on the hot line. What's up, Nate?
- 35:42Speaker 6: Hi guys, can you guys hear me? I had a
- 35:46Speaker 6: couple of questions and thoughts in regards to a linebacker position.
- 35:51Speaker 6: I know, we just signed Jack Gibbons and we had
- 35:53Speaker 6: Robert Bulane come in, but like, what does this mean
- 35:57Speaker 6: for the future of Jawan Bentley? And like you, like
- 36:00Speaker 6: I know tav he regressed a lot on this year,
- 36:05Speaker 6: and of course Bentley was injured pretty much the entire year.
- 36:08Speaker 6: But does this mean that well, obviously it will, but
- 36:12Speaker 6: we're gonna have more competition at the linebacker spot. But
- 36:15Speaker 6: would you guys be surprised if you saw Jilani Tava
- 36:19Speaker 6: or Jowan Bentley's name on the cut down list for
- 36:22Speaker 6: fifty three man roster day.
- 36:25Speaker 12: But yeah, that's what I have for you, guys.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Think okay, thanks Nate. I think for me Bentley would
- 36:31Speaker 2: be a surprise to VI would not YEA.
- 36:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and I would say, just you know,
- 36:36Speaker 3: in defensive Jolny Teva, I think he was put in horrible.
- 36:38Speaker 10: Position last year that yeah, he was wearing a lot
- 36:40Speaker 10: of hats.
- 36:40Speaker 3: He had to wear a lot of hats, He had
- 36:42Speaker 3: to do a lot of things that he's not necessarily
- 36:44Speaker 3: cut out for. I think you saw a couple of
- 36:46Speaker 3: years ago when he's able to kind of float around
- 36:48Speaker 3: with Bentley controlling things in the middle, calling the defense.
- 36:51Speaker 3: You know, he made some plays, So I agree with
- 36:54Speaker 3: Evans's point, though. I like thinking about Bentley and Spallaine
- 36:57Speaker 3: as the two backers. That's a good company. It's it's
- 37:00Speaker 3: you know, Bentley gets a little bit faster. I think
- 37:02Speaker 3: he'll fit, but I just I think to buy inherently
- 37:05Speaker 3: his body tight. It kind of fits the old defense
- 37:08Speaker 3: a little bit more. Now maybe he's doing the same
- 37:10Speaker 3: thing that Bentley's doing. Maybe he's you know, losing some
- 37:13Speaker 3: weight trying to pick up some speed. I do think
- 37:15Speaker 3: that he's still, you know, a pretty good player that
- 37:17Speaker 3: has some use. I just I just don't see how
- 37:20Speaker 3: he fits exactly at this point. That's one of the
- 37:22Speaker 3: things when we get out in O tas, you kind
- 37:24Speaker 3: of get a sense of, all, right, where are they
- 37:25Speaker 3: putting guys or they you know, they practice in full
- 37:27Speaker 3: time and just Nickel or three safety. You know, then
- 37:30Speaker 3: you get more of a sense of what packages they're
- 37:32Speaker 3: putting together, how they're going to line up and match
- 37:34Speaker 3: up against teams, And I think those things will start
- 37:37Speaker 3: to come to light a little bit.
- 37:38Speaker 4: I just think there's always you know, Bentley's we just
- 37:41Speaker 4: talked about culture and attitude and effort and finish like
- 37:44Speaker 4: that's Jewan Bentley. Yeah, you know, I just I really
- 37:46Speaker 4: feel like he's a got that varyable kind of glowed
- 37:50Speaker 4: to him definitely, And I like spoiling. I like the signing,
- 37:54Speaker 4: but I'll always be for a mic linebacker that can
- 37:58Speaker 4: blow up a guard, right, Like it's that simple, Like
- 38:00Speaker 4: does it any Like a guy that can come downhill
- 38:02Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage like that is always valuable
- 38:04Speaker 4: to me. I still don't think that that's really Spallaine's game,
- 38:08Speaker 4: you know, And so I think you have a guy
- 38:09Speaker 4: like Bentley that can still do that. Maybe his role
- 38:12Speaker 4: is reduced, you know, it's only really early downs, you
- 38:15Speaker 4: know and run situations and things like that, But I
- 38:18Speaker 4: still think there's a role on the team for that.
- 38:20Speaker 3: I think just real quick for I think interesting thing
- 38:22Speaker 3: is like Vrabel part of the defense here, Like they
- 38:24Speaker 3: just had such a diverse array of linebackers on the
- 38:27Speaker 3: second level where they had Roman Fighter who could run,
- 38:30Speaker 3: they had Teddy Johnson who was a big, you know,
- 38:32Speaker 3: thumper they you know, but I think that that was
- 38:34Speaker 3: more of the Belichick defense. Back then, it was really
- 38:37Speaker 3: mostly three four and so you always almost always had
- 38:40Speaker 3: four linebackers or three on the field at once. So
- 38:42Speaker 3: you needed that stable of different kind of types to
- 38:45Speaker 3: match up. I don't know if they need that anymore.
- 38:47Speaker 3: They're gonna they were running primarily three four back then.
- 38:50Speaker 4: Yeah, you need three lineback today's NFL because you're gonna
- 38:53Speaker 4: be You're gonna have two on the field and Nickel
- 38:56Speaker 4: and then you you need one guy that can be
- 38:58Speaker 4: a serviceable backup right.
- 38:59Speaker 3: Drop down, like a Marty Mapu or something that's a
- 39:01Speaker 3: good guy too. Like to talk about Marty Mapoo. How
- 39:03Speaker 3: does he fit in? I mean he's a little bit
- 39:05Speaker 3: more in the mold of a faster, longer linebacker. I mean,
- 39:09Speaker 3: it'd say he's definitely bigger than Spallain is. It explains
- 39:12Speaker 3: like six to one's talk, there's like six', three you,
- 39:14Speaker 3: Know so where's he fit? IN i think that's a
- 39:16Speaker 3: good question.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Too Boston cream writes in kudos To alex for the
- 39:20Speaker 2: clean girl esthetic match With Business floss attired one recommendation
- 39:25Speaker 2: slickstick hairwax with a high pony to complete the.
- 39:28Speaker 10: Look, okay watch.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Out she's gonna send her boots your way, there.
- 39:32Speaker 10: High ponytail.
- 39:35Speaker 2: One that pops.
- 39:36Speaker 4: Up, YEAH i mean it's interesting that he doesn't have
- 39:39Speaker 4: any critiques of our.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Outfit, question is it too risky to try and trade back.
- 39:44Speaker 10: Up into the twenties for a tackle.
- 39:47Speaker 2: If we GO bpa at four.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Trade backup for tackles in the twenties and, yeah, Yeah simmons, maybe,
- 39:54Speaker 3: Yeah Simmons Connorly.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Orsery last year it was reported that we tried couldn't
- 39:59Speaker 2: find a. Partner does that scare wolf this year to
- 40:02Speaker 2: try to do the.
- 40:02Speaker 4: Same, yeah it's it's not a great tackle, class especially
- 40:07Speaker 4: on the left, side and you, know just trying to
- 40:09Speaker 4: make my way through some of those you, know third,
- 40:11Speaker 4: round fourth round guys now and, uh there's a pretty
- 40:14Speaker 4: big drop off after The connorley's And urseries of The.
- 40:17Speaker 4: World's like once you get to pass, that you're Talking
- 40:21Speaker 4: Anthony belton And Charles grant From william And, mary who's
- 40:25Speaker 4: a small school. GUY i, think you, know guys Like
- 40:29Speaker 4: mylom And, Zabel like those guys are all gonna play
- 40:32Speaker 4: inside at the next, level so like they're Not i'm
- 40:35Speaker 4: not really even considering. Them you, Know Donovan jackson From Ohio.
- 40:38Speaker 4: STATE i think those guys are all. Guards so, uh
- 40:41Speaker 4: it's uh it thins out, quickly it drops off really.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Quickly so if there's a tackle run in the, twenties
- 40:47Speaker 4: you better get on the train because if you, don't
- 40:49Speaker 4: then you're not getting a starter this year out of
- 40:52Speaker 4: the draft and at left.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Tackle, Uh deshaun's In. Virginia, Hey DeShawn.
- 40:58Speaker 6: Them.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Good.
- 41:00Speaker 13: Uh the first THING i wanted to touch on is
- 41:02Speaker 13: when it comes to the character and culture or, whatever
- 41:06Speaker 13: you get a lot of those things to get in
- 41:07Speaker 13: the way of trying to get players good, players Because
- 41:09Speaker 13: i'm pretty sure that if you believe that your culture
- 41:11Speaker 13: and stuff is so, Strong i'm appy sure you can
- 41:13Speaker 13: instill uh that mindset into guys lee or a, problematic a
- 41:17Speaker 13: problematic at first rooming to be who you want them to,
- 41:20Speaker 13: be especially with the way they seem is. FORMER i
- 41:22Speaker 13: think he can actually uh start accumulating some win if
- 41:26Speaker 13: they get some time on the office the. End, now
- 41:27Speaker 13: when it comes to the, DRAFT i don't believe That
- 41:30Speaker 13: Will campl's is the BEST i talk on the. DRAFT i,
- 41:32Speaker 13: MEAN i really prefer dude out Of Ohio. State, WELL
- 41:35Speaker 13: i PREFER i to do out Of. Oregon and also
- 41:37Speaker 13: we're gonna when it comes To trump's, HUNTS i don't
- 41:39Speaker 13: believe he's a uh you, know uh a time as the.
- 41:42Speaker 13: Receiver he's a good, cornerback but we got enough cornerbacks
- 41:45Speaker 13: from the roster right, Now SO i MEAN i want
- 41:48Speaker 13: to fear receiver at that that. Spot even people get
- 41:51Speaker 13: on people get me About tug, mcbellan But i'm just
- 41:54Speaker 13: saying he's a great comparison to the guys like By Mike,
- 41:56Speaker 13: evans you, know or Dre wonnon or. Whatever, like he
- 41:59Speaker 13: played a lot better on the field WHEN i watched
- 42:01Speaker 13: the teat so the, COMBAT i just watched how he
- 42:05Speaker 13: plays on the. Field that's ALL i really wanted to.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Say, okay, okay thanks thanks To. Shawn, YEAH i mean
- 42:11Speaker 2: out On Will campbell And Travis.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Hunter we we continue to do The Josh simmons. Dance
- 42:15Speaker 4: Like Josh simmons is. Hurt he tore his ptell attendant
- 42:19Speaker 4: in his knee In, november Late, october Early. November he's
- 42:22Speaker 4: gonna miss a year of, football so he's a red
- 42:25Speaker 4: shirt player for his rookie. Season and if you're The,
- 42:28Speaker 4: Patriots like you need somebody that can contribute this, Year,
- 42:31Speaker 4: like you can't be drafting guys in the top fifty
- 42:33Speaker 4: that aren't going to play as rookies on this. Team
- 42:35Speaker 4: so he's a great, player it went, healthy and it's
- 42:39Speaker 4: a great fit for teams that can take that. Chance
- 42:41Speaker 4: Like i've been thinking of him To Kansas city for
- 42:44Speaker 4: a while, now you, know just because of. That BUT
- 42:48Speaker 4: i just don't see how that lines up for The,
- 42:49Speaker 4: Patriots like if they take a guy like, that you
- 42:52Speaker 4: know at the end of the first, round that's not
- 42:53Speaker 4: gonna play his entire rookie.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Season like if you pick if you pick a guy
- 42:57Speaker 2: like that and he red shirts is for does his contract?
- 43:00Speaker 2: Told does it?
- 43:01Speaker 4: No it does, No so he'd, like you, know that's
- 43:05Speaker 4: another year of service time that's like off the. Contract you,
- 43:09Speaker 4: know he's a really talented player and there was a,
- 43:11Speaker 4: chance you, know he was tracking towards being the best
- 43:13Speaker 4: tackle in the class if he had stayed, healthy but he,
- 43:16Speaker 4: didn't so we can you, know that's is what that.
- 43:20Speaker 4: Is you, Know connorly is a really talented, guy but he's.
- 43:22Speaker 4: Raw you, know he's gonna it's gonna take him some
- 43:24Speaker 4: time he's, young he's a raw, player but really high.
- 43:28Speaker 4: Ceiling So i'm not out on him at, All BUT
- 43:32Speaker 4: i just think, that you, know those are two guys
- 43:34Speaker 4: That Will campbell's in a little bit more of a
- 43:37Speaker 4: proven commodity type. Category ryan's An.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Idaho Hey, ryan what do you?
- 43:42Speaker 12: Know, hey, guys thanks for taking my phone. Call, hey,
- 43:46Speaker 12: hey So i'm a voice idatus. Here, So, MIKE i
- 43:51Speaker 12: was really excited WHEN i obviously saw your monstraft passion
- 43:56Speaker 12: by far the best player that has ever played Your Boise,
- 44:00Speaker 12: state you, know runner.
- 44:02Speaker 13: Up as A.
- 44:02Speaker 12: Heisman he had almost a you, know season record for
- 44:08Speaker 12: rushing yards and again was just like the biggest weapon
- 44:12Speaker 12: that we had on. Offense, Right and SO i felt
- 44:15Speaker 12: like On tuesday on the podcast AS i was driving,
- 44:18Speaker 12: home you, know it's kind of raising my blood pressure because,
- 44:21Speaker 12: byfically you, Know, paul WHICH i know he's not there,
- 44:24Speaker 12: today it seems to question the talent of the player, himself,
- 44:28Speaker 12: RIGHT i mean when you look At gens compared to
- 44:31Speaker 12: just the talent level of the players around, HIM i, mean,
- 44:34Speaker 12: he in my, opinion is the third best player in this.
- 44:36Speaker 12: Draft and so for The patriots who need just a
- 44:39Speaker 12: desperate injection of talent right on their, offense a weapon
- 44:44Speaker 12: Like gent who is better in the receiving game THAN
- 44:47Speaker 12: i think he gets credit. FOR i, mean as a
- 44:49Speaker 12: career receiver At Boise, state he had eighty, catches eight hundred,
- 44:52Speaker 12: yards a few touchdowns. THERE i mean he's a.
- 44:55Speaker 13: Weapon so is there value?
- 44:58Speaker 12: GUYS i, mean and just taking a weapon in injecting
- 45:01Speaker 12: that into our.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Offense, YEAH i mean about.
- 45:05Speaker 4: IT i mean that's the.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Argument that's the.
- 45:08Speaker 3: ARGUMENT i, MEAN i would just tie it to What
- 45:10Speaker 3: evan's tied with With Will campbell that you, know it's
- 45:15Speaker 3: The patriots need a lot and you just really want
- 45:17Speaker 3: to make sure you don't miss on this, pick and
- 45:20Speaker 3: you start to get into valuing positions and what's more
- 45:22Speaker 3: Valuable Will campbell is a left guard Or Ashton genty
- 45:25Speaker 3: is a running? Back you, know both. POSITIONS i think
- 45:27Speaker 3: most people in THE nfl would look at as you'll
- 45:29Speaker 3: figure it. Out BUT i think there's you, know AND i,
- 45:33Speaker 3: Look i'm not like starting the parade For Ashton genty
- 45:36Speaker 3: or ANY i, MEAN i JUST i think it's a
- 45:37Speaker 3: worthwhile conversation because The patriots offense has been stagnant for too,
- 45:41Speaker 3: long AND i think it might help you get out of.
- 45:45Speaker 3: THAT i think he's a little bit better than you,
- 45:47Speaker 3: know the rest of this very good running back. Class
- 45:49Speaker 3: but you, know that just gets back to the point
- 45:51Speaker 3: of when you have a good class at a, position
- 45:54Speaker 3: do you want the best one or you, okay just
- 45:56Speaker 3: getting one of the, Guys and you know there's pros
- 45:59Speaker 3: and cons for both sides of. THAT i JUST i,
- 46:02Speaker 3: mean ultimately the end of the, Day i'm probably not
- 46:03Speaker 3: going to Take Ashton genty at fourth. Overall BUT i
- 46:07Speaker 3: do think that it's a worthy.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Conversation, YEAH i don't think it's it's ridiculous people probably.
- 46:14Speaker 4: In a fun. Way, NO.
- 46:17Speaker 2: I don't think it. IS I i don't think it.
- 46:19Speaker 3: IS i THINK i, mean A raider fan is gonna
- 46:23Speaker 3: flame when he if you goes six to The raiders
- 46:24Speaker 3: Or raider fans feel, like.
- 46:25Speaker 2: Oh, god, yes.
- 46:27Speaker 4: Absolutely. YEAH i Mean i'm not, LIKE i don't want
- 46:31Speaker 4: to speak For, paul but there's no deny Like ryan's, Right,
- 46:34Speaker 4: like there's no denying his talent like. That no one's
- 46:36Speaker 4: saying that he's not a talented. Player he's uberly talented running.
- 46:40Speaker 4: Back but it just doesn't for me. Personally it's it's
- 46:44Speaker 4: a positional, Thing like it's just purely a positional value
- 46:47Speaker 4: thing and just HOW i value running backs in. General
- 46:50Speaker 4: and there might be a gap between him and the
- 46:53Speaker 4: rest of this running back, class but there's so many
- 46:55Speaker 4: great running backs in this class that you can have
- 46:57Speaker 4: On day two And day three of the draft that
- 47:00Speaker 4: are still going to come in and make an impact that,
- 47:02Speaker 4: like why would you waste the fourth over.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Pick somehow end up With Will campbell And Ashton? Genty
- 47:10Speaker 2: would you be happy with?
- 47:11Speaker 4: THAT i mean you, can't but sure why Because Ashton
- 47:14Speaker 4: genty's they're both going to go in the top. Ten,
- 47:16Speaker 4: well what If i'm talking about trading back from thirty?
- 47:20Speaker 2: Eight? Yeah, no from? Four, yeah still be able to
- 47:24Speaker 2: At Will. Campbell then trading back up from thirty, Eight,
- 47:28Speaker 2: WELL i, mean depending on what DID i get from my,
- 47:30Speaker 2: TRADE i might have now the ammunition to do.
- 47:32Speaker 4: That you get you're not going to have a higher
- 47:34Speaker 4: pick than thirty.
- 47:35Speaker 3: Eight but you go to The raiders at. Six The
- 47:37Speaker 3: raiders give you their second round, pick so you package
- 47:39Speaker 3: them the two, sects so you pick it that at,
- 47:41Speaker 3: six you Take campbell Or, Genty then you package the
- 47:44Speaker 3: two second rounders things to go up twenty. Spots maybe
- 47:47Speaker 3: not quite.
- 47:48Speaker 14: Twenty but that's the, thing you, know like every work
- 47:51Speaker 14: with me, Here, Evan i'm trying to let the fact
- 47:55Speaker 14: running back we you, know admittedly is a devalued. Position
- 47:59Speaker 14: in the, end maybe he doesn't go in the top, TEN.
- 48:02Speaker 4: I think he, will but if he, does like even.
- 48:04Speaker 3: If he goes, ten some dumb teams like we're talking.
- 48:06Speaker 4: About having to trade up twenty five spots to get.
- 48:09Speaker 3: HIM i know that do sound extreme to, Me, yeah
- 48:12Speaker 3: BUT i think they'll get a RUNNING i think they
- 48:16Speaker 3: GOT i, MEAN i do think that they need to
- 48:17Speaker 3: make running back a priority this. YEAR i think they
- 48:20Speaker 3: have to get one of these guys that you're talking. About,
- 48:22Speaker 3: yeah and there's plenty of opportunities to do that THAT
- 48:25Speaker 3: i just, LOOK i mean to get away From ashton
- 48:27Speaker 3: gentye of it, All, like how do we really feel
- 48:29Speaker 3: right now About Rimondre stevenson And Antonio? Gibson how do
- 48:33Speaker 3: you really Feel do you feel great about those two
- 48:35Speaker 3: guys coming back this year that you, KNOW.
- 48:37Speaker 2: I wouldn't be like freaking out if we started the
- 48:41Speaker 2: season and NOW i wouldn't be freaking out.
- 48:42Speaker 3: Either BUT i also just wonder are we seeing the
- 48:46Speaker 3: peak Of, vermondre or you know was two years, ago
- 48:49Speaker 3: the peak Of. Vermondre can he get rid of these fumbling?
- 48:51Speaker 3: ISSUES i Think Antonio gibson is a nice complimentary, piece
- 48:54Speaker 3: but there's a certain appeal to me of looking at
- 48:57Speaker 3: any of these a handful of running backs that are
- 48:59Speaker 3: all very. Good Devin neil's one that keeps you, know,
- 49:02Speaker 3: YEAH i meaning.
- 49:03Speaker 4: Up it's like ten to twelve.
- 49:04Speaker 3: GUYS i, said it's a great ad to this room
- 49:07Speaker 3: to have a young buck who's going to be pushing
- 49:09Speaker 3: these two other veterans and to have some insurance against.
- 49:12Speaker 2: Remonder so over on zero point, five The patriots have
- 49:15Speaker 2: a running, back a new running back on the.
- 49:17Speaker 4: Team i'd be disappointed if they didn't draft.
- 49:19Speaker 3: EARLY i would bet the. OVER i MEAN i felt,
- 49:21Speaker 3: SIMILARLY i don't know if it was last year the
- 49:23Speaker 3: year before with the tight end class that was great
- 49:25Speaker 3: and we just felt, like, well they gotta grab one
- 49:27Speaker 3: right and they. Didn't that was. DISAPPOINTING i think they
- 49:30Speaker 3: gotta they gotta tap that. Class they also got to
- 49:32Speaker 3: to tap the front seven. CLASS i think they got
- 49:34Speaker 3: to get an. Edge they've got to got some kind
- 49:36Speaker 3: of that. Class tap that. CLASS i didn't. Know it's
- 49:42Speaker 3: just a natural thing to. ME i just got these
- 49:43Speaker 3: come out to. Me i'm not really trying to, pause excuse,
- 49:46Speaker 3: me but.
- 49:50Speaker 4: The running back, classes IT'S i think at sixty, nine seventy,
- 49:55Speaker 4: seven one, six they're going to be running backs at
- 49:58Speaker 4: all those spots that are going to be able at
- 50:01Speaker 4: the very least to be in a, committee like a
- 50:03Speaker 4: really GOOD rb two in a. Committee AND i think
- 50:06Speaker 4: that might Help stevenson even. MORE i know a lot
- 50:08Speaker 4: of people think about it as him Pushing, stevenson but
- 50:11Speaker 4: also just Spelling, stevenson so it's not all On remandre
- 50:15Speaker 4: to carry the entire running game on his. BACK i
- 50:18Speaker 4: think that would maybe help him a lot, Too like
- 50:20Speaker 4: how much were those fumbles about fatigue and about you,
- 50:23Speaker 4: know him THINKING i got to make a play right
- 50:25Speaker 4: now because who else is going to you? Know so
- 50:28Speaker 4: if you have a guy that's a true you, Know
- 50:30Speaker 4: batman And robin type, situation like maybe it even helps
- 50:33Speaker 4: him even a little bit more in that sense. Too
- 50:35Speaker 4: SO i love this running back. CLASS i mean we
- 50:38Speaker 4: don't talk enough about amar And hampton on this, show
- 50:40Speaker 4: who's also an absolute stud From North, carolina played With
- 50:44Speaker 4: Drake may At North carolina and he's going to be
- 50:47Speaker 4: a top, twenty top twenty five pick. Too some people
- 50:49Speaker 4: have him going as high as like To, dallas you,
- 50:52Speaker 4: know in the early. Teens so he's an awesome player as.
- 50:54Speaker 4: Well so it's just a great.

- 53:24Speaker 3: In my career here here here In New?
- 53:28Speaker 4: England was that the BEST i think he might think it.
- 53:30Speaker 4: Was that's WHY i qualified.
- 53:34Speaker 18: That that was that was a very special team game
- 53:39Speaker 18: at the heck of a. Game it was one of
- 53:40Speaker 18: the best Super, bowls haymake all, times no doubt about.
- 53:44Speaker 18: That people are, like what was your favorite Super? Bowl
- 53:46Speaker 18: NOT i always say the first, One but it wasn't
- 53:49Speaker 18: because it was just the first, one because the first
- 53:51Speaker 18: one is always the. Sweetest but it was also because
- 53:54Speaker 18: it was one of the best games In Super bowl.
- 53:57Speaker 18: History seattle was, up we came, back they went back,
- 54:00Speaker 18: Up we took the, lead and you go they go
- 54:02Speaker 18: back down with you, know final final minute on the,
- 54:04Speaker 18: clock and Then Malcolm butler has that game ceiling, interception
- 54:07Speaker 18: and then we're kneeling the ball And i'm Throwing haymakers
- 54:10Speaker 18: out there Versus Michael.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Bennett you, know while just.
- 54:13Speaker 18: Kneeling the, ball there's a huge brawl in the end.
- 54:15Speaker 18: Zone so there was just so much, too and it's
- 54:18Speaker 18: just such a, great you, know perspective to fans too
- 54:20Speaker 18: for a game to watch of what it's all about to,
- 54:23Speaker 18: play you, know you, know to play the game of.
- 54:25Speaker 18: Football just that game brought everything to the. Table and
- 54:28Speaker 18: what was great it was such a team. Win julian
- 54:31Speaker 18: had a, Touchdown Brandon LaFell had a, Touchdown amandola had a.
- 54:34Speaker 18: TOUCHDOWN i had a, touchdown And Shane veren went for
- 54:38Speaker 18: about eleven catches right around there for LIKE i don't,
- 54:41Speaker 18: know one hundred something YARDS i, think but he had
- 54:42Speaker 18: a big impact even though he didn't score a touchdown.
- 54:45Speaker 18: Too so just an incredible game. Overall it was by,
- 54:48Speaker 18: far you, know my favorite Super. Bowl but was that
- 54:51Speaker 18: the best? Team, no you want to believe what the
- 54:54Speaker 18: best team was? THAT i truly believe what was the
- 54:56Speaker 18: best one was the year after. Fifteen, yeah, fifteen we went,
- 55:01Speaker 18: Undefeated we went ten to zero and then we lost
- 55:04Speaker 18: a couple of.
- 55:05Speaker 17: Games so, yeah the Fifteen, YEAH i, mean this is
- 55:11Speaker 17: a year that really frustrates me a little bit as
- 55:14Speaker 17: a as a, fanboy because there were so many. GAMES
- 55:17Speaker 17: i thought that there was some questionable things down the.
- 55:19Speaker 17: Stretch i'm not gonna Put jami on that. Spot you
- 55:22Speaker 17: know the way you treated The miami game at the
- 55:24Speaker 17: end with all the runs With Steven, jackson you, know
- 55:27Speaker 17: kicking off in overtime against The. Jets all they needed
- 55:31Speaker 17: was one. Win in THAT Afc championship game Against, denver
- 55:33Speaker 17: was here instead of In.
- 55:35Speaker 2: DENVER i do remember.
- 55:36Speaker 18: That and going into That miami, game we said we're
- 55:39Speaker 18: gonna run the ball every single, PLAY i think until
- 55:43Speaker 18: we get like five first downs in a row or
- 55:45Speaker 18: like a touchdown or. Something and we just kept running
- 55:48Speaker 18: the ball and running the, ball and we were going
- 55:50Speaker 18: nowhere with. It it was like third and, ten run the,
- 55:53Speaker 18: ball one more, yard punting on fourth and. Nine BUT
- 55:57Speaker 18: i do remember that, game and we lost like three
- 55:59Speaker 18: in a. Row we started off unbelievably. HOT i mean
- 56:02Speaker 18: tend to, know everyone was on. FIRE i got hurt
- 56:05Speaker 18: actually with a knee in That denver.
- 56:07Speaker 2: Game game of that, game you went down.
- 56:10Speaker 18: BAD i, did, man but that was just a bone.
- 56:12Speaker 18: Bruise but let me tell, you the bone bruise hurt
- 56:14Speaker 18: more than actually blowing out YOUR acl and MCL i was,
- 56:17Speaker 18: LIKE i was on the field. SCREAMING i was, like
- 56:19Speaker 18: my career is done done with. Again but good thing
- 56:22Speaker 18: was just a bone. Bruise but also that, GAME i
- 56:26Speaker 18: was in the locker. Room right after we won that,
- 56:29Speaker 18: game they called a holding. Penalty I'm Patrick chung in
- 56:33Speaker 18: the end. Zone Brock osweiler was their quarterback and he
- 56:36Speaker 18: threw a pass to the end. Zone let me tell,
- 56:39Speaker 18: YOU i was watching it from the locker.
- 56:40Speaker 3: Room it was not a holding.
- 56:43Speaker 18: Penalty and that call right, THERE i think it was
- 56:46Speaker 18: fourth and ten or, something and it gave him the first,
- 56:49Speaker 18: down and it gave him the first down right on
- 56:52Speaker 18: their own one yard line to go and score on
- 56:54Speaker 18: the next. Play but the game was over if that
- 56:57Speaker 18: holing penalty was never. Called And i'm telling you his
- 57:00Speaker 18: tea go bring up that. Play Patrick chong did not,
- 57:03Speaker 18: Hold AND i remember that play clear as. Day so
- 57:06Speaker 18: we would have been eleven and, zero still. Hot and

- 57:25Speaker 17: yeah that FIFTEEN Afc championship, game to me is one
- 57:28Speaker 17: of the most ridiculous performances by you And, tom you,
- 57:32Speaker 17: know just because of how good that defense, was and
- 57:35Speaker 17: especially that. Day you, Know Von miller was the best
- 57:38Speaker 17: defensive player on the planet that. Day he dominated up.
- 57:41Speaker 17: Front but you guys just keep hanging around and hanging.
- 57:45Speaker 17: Around it's fourth and ten and you, guys you know.
- 57:48Speaker 17: Connect tom just, says go down the scene and make a.
- 57:51Speaker 17: Play do you remember this catch That i'm talking? About

- 58:11Speaker 18: on the. Line aftermber that play to the EXACT t
- 58:16Speaker 18: and from WHAT i, recall actually what was calling the
- 58:21Speaker 18: huddle was a screen pass to the, left And brady
- 58:24Speaker 18: switched to play right away and he called all, goes
- 58:28Speaker 18: AND i was, Like, yeah that's, right all. Goes i'm

- 58:37Speaker 18: gonna take. Off and When i'm taking, Off brady can read.
- 58:41Speaker 18: That you, know this guy's got a mind of his,
- 58:43Speaker 18: Own like he can tell if a player is rolling
- 58:46Speaker 18: down the field or now he knows when a player
- 58:48Speaker 18: is going full, speed and that's who he always goes.
- 58:50Speaker 18: To like he can read the decisiveness of a wide
- 58:54Speaker 18: receiver or a tight end or a running back to the.
- 58:56Speaker 18: Tee and that's how he always knew what guy to go.
- 58:59Speaker 18: To and he always knew who was on fire at
- 59:01Speaker 18: the moment and who. Wasn't and he could tell in my.
- 59:03Speaker 18: Eyes right when we broke that, HUD i was, like,

- 1:00:46Speaker 16: GAMES rob, fourteen The Jonas gray. Game oh, YOU i,
- 1:00:52Speaker 16: mean you had an unbelievable touchdown where it seems like
- 1:00:55Speaker 16: you literally ran through every member of The. Colts but
- 1:00:57Speaker 16: we're talking about the play where you Threw.
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: Sergio you threw.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Out of the.
- 1:01:04Speaker 16: Club that's what everybody remembers about.
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: That, Game yes they.

- 1:01:10Speaker 18: a real.
- 1:01:10Speaker 16: Title disrespect to some of these other guys with pass.

- 1:01:22Speaker 18: MAN i love. BLOCKING i truly believe. That you, know
- 1:01:25Speaker 18: it helped, me you, know in the passing game as.
- 1:01:27Speaker 18: Well it helped me get open in the play, action
- 1:01:29Speaker 18: and it just you, KNOW i TRULY i just always
- 1:01:32Speaker 18: felt and believed in as a tight, end just WHEN
- 1:01:35Speaker 18: i WHEN i started playing the position that you had
- 1:01:37Speaker 18: to do. Both, man that's what it's all, about you,
- 1:01:39Speaker 18: know doing the dirty work and then also going out
- 1:01:41Speaker 18: there and making plays as well in the passing.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: Game But i'm that.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: PLAY i.
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: Mean Sergio brown came in with.
- 1:01:46Speaker 18: Me here with The New England. Pagers he was a
- 1:01:49Speaker 18: free agent that year out Of Notre dame and he
- 1:01:51Speaker 18: was a great. Player he was a safety, Here uh he.
- 1:01:54Speaker 18: Was he was a great special. Teamer and then he
- 1:01:56Speaker 18: went over to The colts and, uh you know he
- 1:01:58Speaker 18: did great things for us while he was here with the.
- 1:02:01Speaker 18: Pages but that, game, man he just went and stopped. Talking,
- 1:02:04Speaker 18: man he just want to, stop you, know you, know
- 1:02:07Speaker 18: trying to get under my. Skin and let me tell,
- 1:02:09Speaker 18: you he eventually got under my. Skin and when you
- 1:02:11Speaker 18: get under my skin talking, garbage you know it's not
- 1:02:14Speaker 18: gonna be good for you on that defensive side of the.
- 1:02:16Speaker 18: Ball and that's what. Happened and FINALLY i just ticked.
- 1:02:18Speaker 18: IT i was like a ticking time bomb the whole.
- 1:02:20Speaker 18: Game he just kept going off and, off talking, garbage
- 1:02:23Speaker 18: and then.
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: Finally he just he hit.
- 1:02:25Speaker 18: It he hit that, switch and THEN i SAW i
- 1:02:28Speaker 18: noticed that play, like all, right one on one right,
- 1:02:30Speaker 18: Here i'm just gonna. Drive i'm gonna drive your butt

- 1:02:37Speaker 2: Know into the.
- 1:02:38Speaker 18: Ground and that's basically what.
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: Happened.

- 1:02:42Speaker 18: With Chris, COLLINSWORTH i was, like, Hey Chris, conway he
- 1:02:45Speaker 18: was just yapping too.

- 1:03:26Speaker 4: player and a.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: Specialist plus being the running back for even just ten
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: plays hurts a lot.

- 1:05:09Speaker 2: michigan coaches recruit what they call. Makeup football is a
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: very hard. Game success in football requires not only physical,
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: ability but also the, commitment, discipline, determination and, yes courage
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: to train hard and rise to the. Occasion in difficult
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: game situations such as goal, line short, yardage and third.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: DOWN i could give you multiple specific examples Of michigan
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: players who were under recruited nationally but who succeeded At
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: michigan in part because of their. Intangibles the most obvious
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: recent example Is Mike, Sandys Cristril Sanristril everett Mass in
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: tangibles matter know.
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: His parents a little. Bit we shared a flight back

- 1:05:59Speaker 3: we're watching and we had a couple of drinks and
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: so we're feeling good combines, over you, know getting on
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: the plane back And i'm, like.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: Hey is the same ast family in front of. Them
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: you guys just won the National.
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: Chimmians, jim he's gonna get draft. Flying if.
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: They, were they were wonderful. People they were really, sweet
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: and you, KNOW i think they WERE i don't know
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: where they were, from somewhere in like the you, know The,
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: caribbean and they had like that that, said oh we
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: were so, excited you, know it was. Cool it was.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: Cool.
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: Yeah he went To Evert high shout Out paul and
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: uh had a really good year for The washington and the
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: rookie season for The. Commanders so good, player great, which.
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: By the, way just real quick like talking about needs
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: like slot. CORNER i know we're gonna we're actually we're
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: talking corners and and h d backs coming up for
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: The Draft countdown, show which if you haven't checked it,
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: out that's coming out soon first episode here from the.
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: Studio but slot corner is an interesting kind of just
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: position to.
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: Consider Marcus jones is going to have a. Breakout he's a.
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: Good, piece LIKE i just BUT i just, wondered is
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: he like you, know we talk about the high volty
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: slot on the offensive side of the, ball is there
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: we need a high Volumes like is there gonna be
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: a three safety nickel or is it gonna be a
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: three corner nickel that they? Run what's the package Of
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: Terrell williams once.
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: To, yeah there's there's some good nickel corners in this.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: Class Jihati baron From texas is the number one guy,
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: THOUGH i mean He's Brian branch two point, zero just
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: really good. Player but he's gonna go in the first round,
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: Probably but it does seem like that position is picking
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: up a little bit steam from a value standpoint for
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: teams just because of how many teams play three receivers
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: all the, time so like you have to have three
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: good corners and you have to play have somebody that
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: can play in the. Slot but some teams it's more
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: of like a safety, slot and some teams it's a.
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: Corner it's a true corner that plays. Inside so it
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: depends manner zone, usually like if you're a man, defense
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: you'll play like a corner body type. There if you're
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: a zone, defense you play a.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: Safety i'd be remiss IF i didn't. CONGRATULATE i guess
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: one of our local, teams The. Celtics it looks like
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: they got a new owner enough for. Congratulating alex is
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: our number One celtics fan on the on the, Table
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: so what do you.
- 1:07:59Speaker 9: Think we've had this conversation on the show, before where
- 1:08:04Speaker 9: like it really seems like we're going to be in
- 1:08:06Speaker 9: a place where private equity is running every single money
- 1:08:10Speaker 9: is which is really. Alarming But i'm a little relieved
- 1:08:14Speaker 9: to see that this guy's From, georgetown mass seems to
- 1:08:18Speaker 9: be like a real diehard, Fan so a little bit
- 1:08:21Speaker 9: of my concern has been alleviated as if it were
- 1:08:24Speaker 9: like just like a true hedge fund or private car coming,
- 1:08:28Speaker 9: in you, Know BUT i, mean like talk about a
- 1:08:32Speaker 9: return on investment over twenty.
- 1:08:33Speaker 10: Years that's.
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: Insane six point one billion that's what sold.
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: For, yeah they bought.
- 1:08:40Speaker 9: For three hundred something three thirty million in two thousand and,
- 1:08:43Speaker 9: two so your.
- 1:08:45Speaker 10: Goodness six times return on.
- 1:08:47Speaker 9: Investment and they don't own the Arena like a lot
- 1:08:49Speaker 9: of times you sell a team and like at least
- 1:08:51Speaker 9: a billion is just looped in with the arena, itself, right.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: So get the?
- 1:08:55Speaker 10: Arena just absurd. MONEY i hope they make.
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: Us did You reapaglioca's? Post it sounds like they're a
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: little bent out of.
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: Shait, yeah he's a little salty about. It sounds like
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: sounds like his money wasn't necessarily tied up in hedge
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: funds and stuff like. That it was real liquid cash
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: that they were offering for the. Team SO i don't,
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: know BUT i think that this guy does make you
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: feel better that he's apparently a Lifelong celtics. FAN i
- 1:09:22Speaker 4: grew up in The North, shore went To, dartmouth so
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: he's A celtics. Guy but he also runs a very
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: large private equity.
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: Firm so so why do you think that they didn't
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: Take paglioca's groups. Offer you, know he was already involved
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: in the, ownership you, know is it maybe he didn't
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: really have a good relationship with grouse Back.
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: Well so it sounds like they have an agreement For
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: grousebeck to stay on as governor of The celtics until
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty, eight and that was something that
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: the new guy Built chisholm wanted him to. Do So
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: i'm wondering if maybe that put it over the top
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: for absolutely that he was still going to be able
- 1:10:06Speaker 4: to be, involved because you know when they sold The
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: mavericks that everyone Said Mark cuban was going to be
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: involved still and then very very quickly the new owners
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: muscled him out and now he's just basically a fanboy
- 1:10:18Speaker 4: on the sideline like everybody. Else but it does sound
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: like this is more of like an actual agreement That
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: grossbeck is still going to be the acting governor of the.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: TEAM i think if that's, true then that definitely had
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: a big part in.
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: It, yeah BECAUSE i think he loves operating the. Team
- 1:10:34Speaker 4: he just doesn't have pockets for.
- 1:10:36Speaker 9: It and the tech, bros do you. KNOW i, mean
- 1:10:39Speaker 9: just look at what all those guys In Silicon valley
- 1:10:41Speaker 9: have done with The. Warriors you, know like there are
- 1:10:43Speaker 9: scenarios where it can end well for a.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: Team, well the problem with those tech bros is that
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: they've got all this money and nothing to. Do, yeah
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: they're not really running a company like you know some
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: other you, know.
- 1:10:54Speaker 10: Billionaires and it seems to be like that's kind of.
- 1:10:57Speaker 9: This this firm's specialty is making these acquisitions and scaling.
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: Them.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: Yeah so, Wonderful goodbye you. HOLIDAY i hope.
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: Not we need to make.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Money, yeah all, right let's go back to the. Phones
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: tyler's In. Nevada, Hey, Tyler hey with.
- 1:11:15Speaker 20: Guys, Hey, okay SO i have some things to touch
- 1:11:20Speaker 20: up on on that aston gen. Conversation h he is
- 1:11:25Speaker 20: you're in twenty twenty. Three he was the leading running
- 1:11:28Speaker 20: back and receiving art that, year AND i do think
- 1:11:31Speaker 20: he is the number three player in this. Draft If
- 1:11:34Speaker 20: carter And hunster are gone And i'm The, Patriots i'm
- 1:11:36Speaker 20: taking Gen.
- 1:11:37Speaker 10: Z there you, Go justice, Reduce, Okay.
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: TYLER i just think we're like losing the plot a
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: little bit of the, take like what like this is
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: nice challenging If genty is a good player or, Not
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: like he's a very. TALENTED i think he's the.
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: Number three player in the draft.
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: If we're if we're taking positions out of.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: It, yeah, YES i thought we were taking best player.
- 1:12:03Speaker 4: Available well that's a.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: Myth SO i don't, Think oh so you don't believe in.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: THAT i don't for The patriots for.
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: ANYBODY i think that that's like a nice little like
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: general managers speak that they throw at people that, well
- 1:12:14Speaker 4: we took the best player, Available, Okay LIKE i think
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: the best player available for the football, Team like you're
- 1:12:20Speaker 4: not going to take like The patriots aren going to
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: take a. Quarterback if they said that Cam ward was
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: the best player available on the, board should they take Cam? Ward,
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: Yeah like it's the same it's the same thing at.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: All the other best player available has to be also
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: better than who you.
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: Have or just in, general LIKE i just think that
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: you have to have a role for the player on the,
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: Team like you have to have a vision for how
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: this guy is going to make.
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: A role for you, know the number three player in the.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: Draft, yeah just give them ball thirty times a game.
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: And prosper, okay three and a half yards of. Carry
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: ken's In.
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: Louisiana Hey, Ken, Ken, Yes, hey it's didn't we get by?
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: You?
- 1:13:07Speaker 5: NO i. Don't maybe so with.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: What's?
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Up?
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: Ken?
- 1:13:12Speaker 5: OKAY i WAS i was looking At evans column this,
- 1:13:17Speaker 5: morning and AND i noticed that he was, taken uh
- 1:13:21Speaker 5: of the. Line he had the draft, pick a draft
- 1:13:25Speaker 5: pick for left, Tackle and So i'm, thinking maybe answers
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: for left tackle of getting really. Short i've been, looking you,
- 1:13:33Speaker 5: KNOW i listened to the draft every, year and, uh
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: which IS i don't have a lot to do on the,
- 1:13:40Speaker 5: weekends but, uh but you, KNOW i was looking to
- 1:13:44Speaker 5: see you, know you, Know i've always been very frustrated
- 1:13:48Speaker 5: that we haven't you, know gotten this left tackle thing straightened.
- 1:13:52Speaker 5: Out AND i was, wondering at what point do we
- 1:13:55Speaker 5: know that the team is? Urgent you, know is at
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: an urgent? Point you know they of you, know at
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: what point in this process you know they do you
- 1:14:06Speaker 5: know that there are no answers and they're going to
- 1:14:08Speaker 5: have to start throwing you, know this year's draft, picks
- 1:14:11Speaker 5: next year's draft picks or. Whatever you, know we're in
- 1:14:15Speaker 5: the in the. Process can you tell that there is
- 1:14:19Speaker 5: you know that they're gonna that they're really desperate for
- 1:14:21Speaker 5: the left.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: TACKLE i, THINK i think may.
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: WELL i don't know if desperate is the right word
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: the dioect, is but like the options in terms of
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: like veterans that they could sign in free agency that
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: could actually have a chance to start on this team next,
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: year we're basically down To Tyron smith and that's it
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: right like. THERE i, Mean jedrick will is still out,
- 1:14:40Speaker 4: there but he's battled injuries over the last couple of,
- 1:14:43Speaker 4: years AND i don't know if that's necessarily a. Fit
- 1:14:46Speaker 4: Tyron smith is the only guy left and free, agency
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: and regardless of if they Signed Tyron smith or, not
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: they're still going to have to draft a left tackle
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: with the high draft. Pick and SO i think you're
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: just already there in a lot of.
- 1:14:58Speaker 6: Ways oh.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: Yeah David bethlehem wants to know what went wrong with
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: The patriots wide receiverble evaluations and past. Drafts have The
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: patriots really learned from their, mistakes what traits were wrongly,
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: exaggerated which should be.
- 1:15:14Speaker 21: EMPHASIZED i gotta be, Honest i've thought a lot about
- 1:15:17Speaker 21: that and try to find common threads from pick to,
- 1:15:21Speaker 21: pick right and there just really Isn't Like Nikhil harry
- 1:15:25Speaker 21: And Taekwon thornton are two polar opposite.
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: Players LIKE i don't see a common thread between those
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: two guys that would say they missed because of, this,
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: Right so like when you look at those two, guys
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: they missed for different. Reasons so it's just across the.
- 1:15:40Speaker 4: Board they just haven't had good luck with.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: It but maybe you could do a dotted. Line So Nikhil,
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: harry they overthought it because, oh you, know he can also.
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: Block he's a bigger, Guy he's not gonna get the,
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: separation but he's all these other traits that we need
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: our wide receiver to. Do then they, realized oh that
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: was a. Mistake well if we need just draft a fast,
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: guy and they underthought it and they and they Picked Taekwon. Thornton,
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: YEAH i think that's that's.
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: GOOD i, MEAN i JUST i think the draft is
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: hard no matter, what and there's not a lot of.
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: CONTINUITY i, mean there are some threads of guys that
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: were picking these, players but that's a good way to
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: lay it out for. IT i like, That like it
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: does seem like they really wanted to Kill harry to
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: be this blocking big, presence AND i MEAN i always
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: connected that to felt Like bill felt Like bill felt
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: that the league was going smaller on defense and he
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: wanted to get more, physical focus on the run, game
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: focus on big, receivers and try to you, know bully,
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: teams AND i JUST i don't think. IT i don't
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: think it.
- 1:16:37Speaker 4: Worked, YEAH i mean then they kind of went back
- 1:16:40Speaker 4: With Jalen polk is not quite an Kill, harry BUT
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: i would say he's more in that mold In, taekwon,
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: Right so you kind of went back again to like
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: another type of. ARCHETYPE i think the number one thing
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: that you look at, though is just play speed in.
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: Separation LIKE i don't think that they put enough value
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: in separation in. General and it's one thing to be
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: fast in a straight, line but can you run around
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: out and get open at the top of the route
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: and create that. Separation AND i had those concerns right
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: off the jump With Jalen polk that he was going
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: to have that, ability had those concerns With Nick Hil harry.
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: Obviously SO i would just love to see them really
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: invest in that kind of, player a true technician that
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: creates separation Like lad mcconkey's, right you, know like that
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: type of.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: Player, yeah see if you can figure out What joe's
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: trying to say, HERE i think there might be something,
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: here BUT i think it needs some. Translation he, SAYS
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: i don't think The patriots are in a different place As.
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: Digs you have quarterback teams aka possible champions and non quarterback.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: Teams they have a. Quarterback the rest just. Happens the
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: wrong time to sign players is when you have no.
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: Quarterback please stop overrating left. Tackles, okay, okay tackles will
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: win most of the. Time can anyone even name three
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: of the last ten to win A Super?
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: Bowl, yes But i'm a, nerd so that's probably not
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: the best person to.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: What he's saying IS i have the, quarterback so you
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: don't have to worry.
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: ABOUT i got a Channel paul, here As paul would,
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: go do?
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: They?
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: YEAH i, MEAN i want to believe That Drake may
- 1:18:14Speaker 3: is the, guy BUT i think that there's still some
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: unknowns of. Him and that's WHERE i feel like the
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: question is Does Stefan diggs feel Like Drake may is that?
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: Guy AND i certainly think That Drake may probably needs
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: a guy Like Stefan diggs to get him to the next.
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: Level BUT i don't think it's a slam dunk yet
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: that everyone around the league. IS i know there's a
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: lot of really positive buzz About, drake but he's got
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: a lot to.
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: Prove he's got to limit the.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: MISTAKES i was talking to somebody yesterday AND i just,
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: said you, know my sneaky fear about all of this
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: is That drake can't solve the turnover, Problem like is
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: he going to be an error? Repeater is he going
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: to be the may? Sprays are those? Things can he
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: can he? Eliminate Can josh help him eliminate?
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: Them so here's the, Thing, so Now josh is. Here
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: we saw With Mac jones how they Treated Mac, jones
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: and they did limit the mistakes almost like too much to your, point,
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: RIGHT i hope they don't go too far the other
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: side On BUT i. AGREE i Think josh will he
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: knows what to tell a quarterback and how to coach
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: a quarterback to limit those, mistakes what to look, for
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: what to. Avoid BUT i hope they don't go too.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: FAR i forget exactly, way because this guy is a
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: lot different Than Mac.
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: Jones, YEAH i forget exactly What josh said in the
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: video that we did, here BUT i know turnovers was
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: like the key part of, it like that to, him
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: it's like all security.
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: That got pounded into his head From. Bill you, know
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: you lose the game by turning the ball, Over like
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: whether you're a running back or you, know wide receiver
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: fumbling or a quarterback throwing. Picks, nothing nothing got Under
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: bill's skin more than turning the ball.
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: OVER i don't know how many times did you guys
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: watch a rookie or somebody fumble the ball and ain't
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: seeing him no.
- 1:19:49Speaker 4: MORE i would just say we're learning a little bit
- 1:19:53Speaker 4: more about turnover variants and like how important turnovers really,
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: Are and what a lot of the data would say
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: is just that it's all about the timeliness of the
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: turnover and especially with a field position of the turn
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: but like it just there we. Go What i'm saying
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: to you is is THAT i don't think that there's
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: like as much of an emphasis nowadays on like all
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: turnovers are not created equal and all turnovers are not
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: necessarily the worst thing that can. Happen like how you,
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: know Maybe bill would and like the old school football
- 1:20:25Speaker 4: people might look at. It so you, know like if
- 1:20:28Speaker 4: you have a high variance, quarterback you know who's throwing
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: forty touchdown passes a, year but he might have fifteen
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: picks every single. Season like that is we're going more
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: towards that type of, PLAYER i guess is What i'm
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: getting at. Now the, great the great, ones you, know
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: the Mahomes is and those guys won't turn it over.
- 1:20:45Speaker 4: Either BUT i think that there's a place For drake
- 1:20:49Speaker 4: to be successful where he is a gunslinger and he
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: Is Josh, allen.
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: Would you say a good rule of thumb as your
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: touchdown your variants should be three times so whatever your,
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: turnovers you better have three times as many.
- 1:21:01Speaker 4: Touchdowns, Sure AND i think that the question always, is,
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: well you, know to your point about Mac, jones if
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: we pull him back so much that he's not turning
- 1:21:10Speaker 4: the ball, over well now we're not getting the high
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: end production, Right so like you have to do that
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: balancing act of like you can't you can't treat him
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: with kid glove What i'm, saying and turn and take
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: the gunslinger out of the, gunslinger because now you're not
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: going to get the benefits of his. Talent SO i
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: just look At drake may and he might be more
- 1:21:32Speaker 4: turnover prone than some other quarterbacks for a, while but
- 1:21:35Speaker 4: if he's making up for it in other, ways and
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: that that's like where The Josh allen comps. Coming Josh
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: allen lied the league in interceptions a couple of years,
- 1:21:43Speaker 4: ago but he threw forty.
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: Touchdowns so so that's the Other my other big question
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: this year Is drake a? Killer like that's the line for?
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: Me Is drake a? Killer is?
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: It?
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: No He maybe he does turn the ball over in
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: some not quite so critical, times but when it is critical,
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: times can he turn it?
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: On H and what happened in crunch? Time tony writes
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: IN i keep hearing about the wide receiver and tackle
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: position not being very strong in this year's. DRAFT i
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: keep hearing the media and fans worry About campbell's arm
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: length and ability to stick a tackle in THE nfl
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: and McMillan's. Speed why not go with the unquestioned top
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: tight end in the. Draft look at the impact Brock
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: bowers had without a quality quarterback throwing to. Him look
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: at the Impact, Gronk kelsey And kittles have with their.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: Offenses warren can be used in so many, ways, catching, blocking,
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: rushing and even. Passing josh would have a field day
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: devising plays for this. Guy i've come around to trading
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: down a couple spots with The. RAIDERS i think The
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: jets May Covet warren and The raiders would want to
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: guarantee Landing sanders a. Gentee you can acquire another top
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: draft pick and draft a bona fide weapon For drake May.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: Ps As irony would have, it you played an interview
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: With gronkowski during your lunch. Break it's a.
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: SIGN i don't hate. IT i, MEAN i don't hate.
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: IT i put it in the same kind of bucket As.
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: Genty does it make total? Sense maybe, Not but he's
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: a great. Player he would help the. TEAM i really like.
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: HIM i think he has a presence about.
- 1:23:08Speaker 10: Him and has two great bets to learn, from.
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: Two Great but you, know work behind those guys doesn't
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: have to necessarily be thrown in the. FIRE i, MEAN
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: i do think that's also somewhat of a little bit
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: of we got these two, guys you, know not just
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: yet with, That BUT i would say it's you, KNOW
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: i don't people say that the wide receiver class, thinks
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: BUT i think that's just more about the top. End
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: and again every year they're a guys second third round
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: that are appealing and THAT i think have, speed and
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: you know you have to develop. Them they're not perfect,
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: products but the classes get divined by their high. End
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: BUT i still think that this Is.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: So if he ended up Taking Tyler warren at six
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: and you got another second round, pick would you be
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: happy with?
- 1:23:48Speaker 7: That?
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: YEAH i think my hesitation With Tyler warren just to
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: Play devil's, ADVOCATE i guess is he just laid out
- 1:23:56Speaker 4: all the good things that he. Does is he a
- 1:23:58Speaker 4: jack of all trades and a master of No because With,
- 1:24:01Speaker 4: warren WHEN i watch him, PLAY i don't know if
- 1:24:03Speaker 4: he's a dynamic. RECEIVER i think he's a good receiver
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: and he can definitely use his size down the field
- 1:24:09Speaker 4: and do that sort of. Thing he's gonna be a
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: really good red zone weapon as well for the team
- 1:24:14Speaker 4: that drafts. Him but he mentions Brock bowers like Brock
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: bowers moves at a different speed than everybody else on the,
- 1:24:20Speaker 4: field AND i don't necessarily see that With Tyler. Warren
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: so my fear With Tyler warren IF i were to
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: try to talk myself into it is, Like, okay, yeah
- 1:24:28Speaker 4: he can do all these, things but that's his, Value
- 1:24:31Speaker 4: like his value is in his. Versatility it's not necessarily In,
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: okay we're gonna be able to run the offense through this.
- 1:24:39Speaker 4: Player so you, know is He Brock bowers or is HE. Tj?
- 1:24:44Speaker 4: Howkinson BECAUSE. Tj hawkinson also went in the top ten
- 1:24:47Speaker 4: because he could do everything. Well he could, block he
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: could catch the. Ball you, know he was a versatile.
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: Guy and he's been a SOLID nfl tight, end but
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: he's never been like an all pro caliber tight.
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: End does it make you salivate, Thinking, okay you Got
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: Hunter Henry warren on the. Field at the same, time
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: we're back to that too tight end.
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: OFFENSE i just think you're still, Slow LIKE i think
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: that would be my concern is that you're still slow on,
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: Offense like who's who's taking the top off the? Defense
- 1:25:16Speaker 4: like who's Throwing we've already, Signed, OKAY i mean not
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: you're selling me more if that's the, case but like
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: it just that would be my one concern With Tyler,
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: Warren like high ranking the total, opposite right we.
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: GO i REALLY i really like what you're saying about.
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: Him AND i would just piggyback on that and say
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: he's not gonna be able to BULLY nfl players like
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: he bullied college, kids like you, know he was just
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: a beast down the field WHERE i was, like get
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: out of my. Way you, know he's not gonna be
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: able to do. That BUT i Think evan makes great
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: points about About. Warren it's it's that's exactly WHAT i
- 1:25:48Speaker 3: would see, too mitching.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: All that he writes in. It just wanted to write
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: in and share my opinion on the backwards. Hat as
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: a twenty four year, old IF i ever put my
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: hat on, BACKWARDS i immediately feel like an a. Hole
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: SO i completely understand Where fred's coming. From, however AND
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: i know you will all find this. Contradictory as an
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: assistant football, coach my go to headwear for practice will
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: always be the upside down and backwards visor upside down and.

- 1:27:13Speaker 2: she Said. Alex she Said alex is one hundred percent,
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: correct and That fred is. OLD i did mention That
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: alex watches live sports with subtitles which an old, person
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: which is an old person. Move so her opinion can't
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: fully be. TRUSTED i don't.
- 1:27:28Speaker 9: Watch it live sports with, subtitles, SPECIFICALLY i WATCH tv
- 1:27:32Speaker 9: and movies in general with, subtitles AND i am not foreign.
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: Films, no, no, NO i watch it with subtitles. Too,
- 1:27:40Speaker 4: yea it helps you follow the dialogue.
- 1:27:42Speaker 10: Better, yeah there's studies about this.
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: Literature but, well certainly it helps. You but it's a
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: little bit of a, distraction, RIGHT.
- 1:27:50Speaker 10: I THINK i understand the show better and you pick
- 1:27:52Speaker 10: up on a lot.
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: More, okay but there's other parts to a movie or a,
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: show cinematography of the interaction between.
- 1:27:59Speaker 4: THE i think it like depends on the. Show Like
- 1:28:01Speaker 4: i'm not you, know if we're watching Like.
- 1:28:02Speaker 10: Peaky, blinders cannot watch without.
- 1:28:04Speaker 9: Subtitles, ye thicker than. GRAEVY i don't know what they're, Saying,
- 1:28:07Speaker 9: okay fair.
- 1:28:08Speaker 4: Enough like A game Of thrones type, show definitely helps
- 1:28:11Speaker 4: if you watch the. Subtitles are like severance like, that
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: definitely like when you when you watch with the, SUBTITLES
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: i feel like it. Helps if you're watching like REALITY,
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: tv you obviously don't need the.
- 1:28:20Speaker 9: Subtitle, yeah, no you're just killing more brain cells if the. Subtitles,
- 1:28:23Speaker 9: yeah but like live, sports, NO i totally admit it's.
- 1:28:26Speaker 9: Unpractical oftentimes the subtitles cover like the Score bug and random.
- 1:28:30Speaker 10: Things it's just it's.
- 1:28:31Speaker 9: LAZINESS i Just i'd have to take the clicker and
- 1:28:34Speaker 9: switch it all, Right i'm not going to do.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: That, Lastly i'm so happy that so many people are
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: coming to my side of the street On christian FROM.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: La ever SINCE i wrote that email a month or two,
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: ago calling him a, buffoon more and more people write in.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: AGREEING i feel. VINDICATED i can't listen to some stupid
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: script to take followed up by would you take a
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: seventh FOR Cd? Lamb if The cowboys pay his entire,
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: Contract i'll take it off the. Air he's a fraud
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: and should be banned from. Calling. ALWAYS i love the,
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: Show thanks for all the. Entertainment. Wow, wow nobody.
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: Should be banned from. CALLING i mean that's you know.
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: NOW i appreciate everyone calling. In but and Color crime is.
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: Funny. Yep tyler In New York city wants to know
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: About josh. McDaniels is the offense going to be as
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: Precise the Old josh McDaniels offense largely relied on. Precision
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: the quarterback dissecting the defense pre snap and throwing to
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: the exact right spot at the exact right, moment and
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: the receivers reading the defense and choosing the correct route
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: on every. Play this complexity is often cited as the
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: reason why The patriots tended to churn through receivers and
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: why only a handful of receivers could ever. Stick do
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: we expect that the new offense will require this kind of? Structure,
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Again Drake may's strength is playing outside of, structure and
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: when the play breaks. Down i'd hate to see the
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: new regimes Stifle may's talents while simultaneously limiting the kind
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: of receiver that might succeed. HERE i, mean, yes but
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: it was All.
- 1:30:00Speaker 4: Brady, YEAH i don't. Know we're here talking to McDaniels
- 1:30:04Speaker 4: for the first time In, april, right a couple of
- 1:30:07Speaker 4: weeks from. Now, Yeah so, Well i'm sure he'll get
- 1:30:10Speaker 4: asked questions like, that And i'm sure he'll want to
- 1:30:13Speaker 4: keep it pretty close to the vest in terms of
- 1:30:15Speaker 4: what he's got. Planned BUT i would imagine that they're
- 1:30:17Speaker 4: going to be a little bit more spread oriented and
- 1:30:20Speaker 4: keep draking the gun and let, him you, know kind
- 1:30:23Speaker 4: of do his. Thing i'm not too worried about about
- 1:30:26Speaker 4: all THAT i.
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: DID i didn't go and Study josh's offense with The, raiders,
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: really BUT i wonder What bill's influence was On josh
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: and the, offense and What rabel's influence will, be you,
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: know Very i'm sure the head coach is staying to
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: the offensive. Coordinator this is HOW i want to. Play
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: this is you, KNOW i want TO i mean a
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: lot of what we to hear From. RABEL i want
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: to play, fast you, Know AND i think that's you,
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: Know josh's, system like the email or pointed out sometimes
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: known as, cerebral you, know having to you, know route
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: conversions and you, know being able to adjust on the,
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: fly those kind of things needing guys who are. SMART
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: i don't know if that necessarily lends itself to playing
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: as fast as you, know especially with some guy like
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: we get back to the wide receiver. Conversation you know
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: it Was Nikhil harry ever able to truly not have
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: to think while he was, playing or was he one
- 1:31:07Speaker 3: of those guys that was so in his own head
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: that year of there's just a volume that keeps piling
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: up each.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: Week it's kind of what they said, asked you know
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: What Elliott wolf intimated About polk last, year that they
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: put too much on his. Play i'm not sure HOW
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: i MUCH i buy into, that but certainly a guy
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: Like polk would not have made it in that old. Offense,
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: yeah as a, rookie there's no.
- 1:31:33Speaker 4: WAY i think some of this stuff is. Overblown like
- 1:31:36Speaker 4: IF i showed you a play sheet of Like sean mcvay's,
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: offense AND i showed you a play sheet A josh mcdaniels's,
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: offense the receivers all have conversions and sightedjustin things like
- 1:31:45Speaker 4: that in both. Offenses like it's not, like you, know there's,
- 1:31:49Speaker 4: differences major, differences like they might call something something and
- 1:31:52Speaker 4: that McDaniels would call it something, else just in terminology,
- 1:31:55Speaker 4: wise but you know all those coaches still.
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: But coupled also With brady changing things at the.
- 1:32:03Speaker 4: Line, YEAH i don't, Know but ALL i know is
- 1:32:05Speaker 4: is like if you see a post safety in In
- 1:32:09Speaker 4: sean McVay, offense and you see a post safety in
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: A josh McDaniel's, offense there's gonna be a reaction to
- 1:32:14Speaker 4: that player sitting in the middle of the. Field nobody
- 1:32:17Speaker 4: is telling you to just run right into the. Defender.
- 1:32:19Speaker 4: Right so like all these teams, have you, know different
- 1:32:22Speaker 4: conversions or adjustments in all, Offense every offense has choice
- 1:32:28Speaker 4: or option. Routes like those things are all existing at
- 1:32:31Speaker 4: this level across the. BOARD i think that it's just
- 1:32:34Speaker 4: a difference of how you communicate it to players that
- 1:32:38Speaker 4: might be a little bit.
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: Different, Yep ryan In ocean, Side, california you.
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: Know, well, yeah, sure, yeah, sure beautiful act is that?
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: Right it's on the. Side just Besides ocean is it
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: a high tax? Bracket i'm sure it is IN.
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: La they're all high out.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: There can someone explain to me why not? Exactly Brad
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: berry brings to the table That David andrews couldn't if
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: we're going with a bridge guy to hold down the
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: four for a year or, SO i don't see Why
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: andrews had to be released just to replace him with
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: a similar.
- 1:33:11Speaker 22: GUY i, mean here And andrews speak for. Himself it
- 1:33:14Speaker 22: was still questionable he was going to be able to even.
- 1:33:16Speaker 22: GO i, mean he thought he wanted to give it a.
- 1:33:18Speaker 22: TRY i don't think they wanted to give him let
- 1:33:20Speaker 22: him give it a. TRY i think they needed some
- 1:33:21Speaker 22: kind of stability there and like we said, earlier maybe a,
- 1:33:25Speaker 22: placeholder but that's what you do at this time of.
- 1:33:27Speaker 22: Year you just go and you find free agents to
- 1:33:29Speaker 22: put placeholders, in and then you don't have to you
- 1:33:31Speaker 22: don't have to go into the draft being, Like, okay
- 1:33:33Speaker 22: we really need a starting.
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: Center but one more THING i will say about the.
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: Center it's AND i said it before they Signed Brad
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: burry a couple of days. Ago you, know the no
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: no belief or No Ben, Brown Cole, Strange. JAKE i,
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: MEAN i know those guys haven't done, much they haven't
- 1:33:46Speaker 3: started at. Center BUT i think in a perfect, WORLD
- 1:33:48Speaker 3: i would have hoped that they, said we really think
- 1:33:50Speaker 3: Col strange can be our, center or you, know we
- 1:33:53Speaker 3: really Think Ben. Brown you, know he struggled last year
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: a little, bit but you, know we jump right. In
- 1:33:57Speaker 3: we put a lot on his. Plate we think with
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: the year to develop that he can be the. Guy
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: AND i would have liked that better maybe to feel that,
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: way but they.
- 1:34:06Speaker 14: Won't.
- 1:34:06Speaker 4: Bradberry so, yeah maybe it's just the the the eighty
- 1:34:10Speaker 4: eight career starts in the fact that he's a little
- 1:34:12Speaker 4: bit more of a proven. Commodity that makes me feel
- 1:34:15Speaker 4: that he's considerably better than those. Guys BUT i Think
- 1:34:20Speaker 4: Brad burry is already getting a little bit of a bad,
- 1:34:23Speaker 4: Rap like instantly a second that that move was. ANNOUNCED
- 1:34:27Speaker 4: i feel like every this guy staying, second you know.
- 1:34:30Speaker 4: Whatever AND i just pushed back a little bit on, That,
- 1:34:32Speaker 4: LIKE i don't think that, he's you, know a high end.
- 1:34:37Speaker 4: Center he's not an elite. CENTER i think he's AN
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: nfl center, Though LIKE i think he's a starting caliber
- 1:34:41Speaker 4: center in the. League he's a, really really good run.
- 1:34:44Speaker 4: Blocker he's really athletic at the. Position he's got plenty
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: of experience playing that, spot you, know pass protection at.
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: Center you, know he said it yesterday on catch twenty.
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: TWO i just don't feel like that's the most important
- 1:34:55Speaker 4: thing with center.
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: Running genty behind on when you And moses to the,
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: right the, right you, Know bradbury comes and heat creates
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: that wall With Cole strange And campbell.
- 1:35:08Speaker 4: Boom exactly Prosper, yeah let's See louis In switzerland Says
- 1:35:14Speaker 4: paul pissed me off On tuesday, show.
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: And he says his opinions didn't make any sense to. Me,
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: first THE iyu trade. Proposal according to the trade value,
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: chart it takes something like a late, third early fourth
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: on top of the forty nine ers second to trade
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: up from eleven to. FOUR i agree That ayuk might
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: be worth a little bit more than, that but it
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: seems Like paul is forgetting that we talked about a
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: Second fry juke last, season and that was before he
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: got paid and. Injured, also he wasn't really that great
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: before his injury either last. SEASON i don't think it's
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: crazy to Value ayuk as an early third round pick
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: considering all. That so to, CONCLUDE i agree that the
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: trade proposal favors The, patriots but it's not as crazy
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: As paul thought it. Was and Then fred moves on
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: to THE nba thing with that head to head should
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: matter for playoff home field. Advantage WHILE i Think fred's
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: idea isn't all that great and should definitely not be,
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: Implemented paul And evan seemed to completely Miss fred's. Point
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: if The celtics And calves had another matchup left with
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: the season series being tied right, now both teams would
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: absolutely bring it all to win that series and get home. Field, Surprisingly,
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: deuced who doesn't know jack about, basketball completely got What
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: fred was talking.
- 1:36:26Speaker 4: About, yeah and that one off scenario that could be.
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: True but why why didn't you just try to have
- 1:36:31Speaker 4: the better record throughout the course of.
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: Eight well you want. Both one doesn't preclude the, Other.
- 1:36:38Speaker 23: Okay but but you made but you made a good
- 1:36:43Speaker 23: point that you, know home field isn't as important as
- 1:36:46Speaker 23: it used to, be so maybe it's you, know you
- 1:36:49Speaker 23: get an extra.
- 1:36:50Speaker 4: GAME i felt that way for a. While and this
- 1:36:54Speaker 4: is in my total disclosure is complete, cope because The
- 1:36:59Speaker 4: brew a couple of years ago had the best record
- 1:37:02Speaker 4: of all time in THE nhl playoffs and lost in
- 1:37:05Speaker 4: the first. Round AND i just felt, like as a,
- 1:37:07Speaker 4: FAN i was, like how does that season like it
- 1:37:10Speaker 4: ended like that where they had No, like, Okay game
- 1:37:13Speaker 4: seven was In, Boston like it's a coin. Flip like
- 1:37:17Speaker 4: it's a coin flip either. Way SO i just have,
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: like if you're gonna play the regular, season then, like
- 1:37:22Speaker 4: have it mean something like have it like really be?
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: Incentivized at?
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: Me this makes it mean even more like each series
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: could be something that has an, effect especially in the
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: first half of the season when you don't know necessarily
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: you know who the playoff teams could, be especially in
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: the lower. Rung the last thing you want is to
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: have that great, record and for whatever, reason you lost
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: the season series with The, knicks and so now all
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: of a sudden they've got the home field. Advantage.
- 1:37:50Speaker 4: YEAH i just have always thought that it's not enough
- 1:37:54Speaker 4: of an.
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: Advantage, yeah and that's, fair AND i might BE i
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: might be overvaluing home.
- 1:38:00Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Yeah But i'm like with you though that
- 1:38:02Speaker 4: it's like they have to do something to make the
- 1:38:04Speaker 4: regular season, count, right you, know like whether it's.
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: That or less. Games BUT i don't think they'll ever
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: do less. Games.
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: Yeah how many times do you play an opponent in THE? Nba,
- 1:38:13Speaker 3: like because if you play if they're in your conference or,
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: yeah so you, know like let's just say they played
- 1:38:18Speaker 3: a team seven, Times, like all, right they these team
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: won the matchups In, October, november we're here In December.
- 1:38:23Speaker 3: January the school you, know the season scores is two
- 1:38:26Speaker 3: to one or you, know three to, One like you
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: start to build up the what's the season record of the.
- 1:38:31Speaker 4: Series, yeah it's like formula like THE nfl with THE nba,
- 1:38:34Speaker 4: schedule but it's it depends on if they're in your
- 1:38:37Speaker 4: conference or. Not AND i think division could be an.
- 1:38:39Speaker 3: Odd because that would be for The fred. Series it
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: can't be an even.
- 1:38:42Speaker 4: Number, YEAH i think it's for The west.
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: Teams is it an even?
- 1:38:45Speaker 4: NUMBER i think it's just one in one One. YEAH
- 1:38:48Speaker 4: i think like you, know, like, okay see play once In,
- 1:38:50Speaker 4: okay see play one In. Boston but, uh what was
- 1:38:54Speaker 4: the first part of the? EMAIL i felt LIKE i had.
- 1:38:56Speaker 4: You oh, Yeah SO i looked this up BECAUSE i
- 1:39:00Speaker 4: was also curious so on the new trade charts that
- 1:39:03Speaker 4: are adjusted for recent trades a little bit more than
- 1:39:06Speaker 4: like The Jimmy johnson, chart which is from the.
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: Chart, available Because i'm sure people would want.
- 1:39:10Speaker 4: To, yeah you can just google it and their draft
- 1:39:12Speaker 4: tech has it. Chill, YEAH pff has like a fancy
- 1:39:16Speaker 4: one that if you want to input the, picks it
- 1:39:18Speaker 4: like spits out like you know what it it should.
- 1:39:20Speaker 4: Be but that basically values I uk as a fourth round.
- 1:39:23Speaker 4: Pick the trade proposal That paul brought to the show
- 1:39:26Speaker 4: the other, DAY i would Value Brandon ayuk as a
- 1:39:28Speaker 4: fourth round. Pick SO i think he's probably worth a
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: little bit more than a fourth round, pick even. Injured
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: but that's that's what the trade proposal will.
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: Be jake wants to know If i've received my Our
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: lads guide Yet, NO i think they're going into print next.
- 1:39:43Speaker 3: Week or mid Mid.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: April, YEAH i got a notice from them just that
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: they're going into print pretty. SOON i, mean you know
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: you have to, wait you have to get all the.
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: Information well that's what you.

- 1:40:00Speaker 2: Know and but the good thing About brugler AND i
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: guess our lads, too but you, know the day it comes,
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: out you print it, out you, know like you don't
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: have to wait for.

- 1:40:16Speaker 3: Page THEN i got the big bull clip who used
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: the in cartridge Like Our lives came? Again like, okay.
- 1:40:24Speaker 6: Let's.
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: See uh this Is becker Or backer From, Uvalde. Texas longtime,
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: listener third time. Emailer has anyone discussed the fourth overall
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: pick taking either The rams Or eagles scouting? Department all jokes,
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: aside you Say Hunter ricardo off the board when we're,
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: PICKING i, think, Well campbell is the safe to safest.
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: Pick if he overcomes the short arms, argument then we
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: potentially have the franchise left tackle of the. Future if
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: he doesn't overcome the arm leg but he plays left
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: at an exceptional, level could that Improve low or anyone
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: else we plug in it left, tackle even if it's
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: just for a. Year, also despite his, words could that
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: Entice scar to come out of? Retirement maybe not your
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: full time line, coach but maybe as an offensive Line Ernie, ADAMS.
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: I think The scar's doing woodwork, Now, YEAH i.
- 1:41:20Speaker 4: Just, like can you give me two weeks in the,
- 1:41:22Speaker 4: offseason like where he just puts the rookie lineman through
- 1:41:25Speaker 4: a boot? Camp, yeah, like just give me two, Weeks
- 1:41:28Speaker 4: like you, know no no, pads, no, no we're just
- 1:41:31Speaker 4: going against. Air but like just work on footwork and
- 1:41:33Speaker 4: technique and hand placement and all that good.
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: Stuff watching him like hold like a, weight you, know
- 1:41:39Speaker 3: like a plate From, lego and, like you, know the
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: linemen are like doing their punches like it's like a
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: forty five pound weight and they're just holding the. THING i,
- 1:41:45Speaker 3: mean every TIME i saw out In Dante's, inferno it
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: just looked like absolute hell what he was putting those guys,
- 1:41:51Speaker 3: through but it.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: Worked bronson wants suggest if we end up Signing, DIGS
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: i still think we go and Sign Amari cooper At
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: wells bringing In Tyron. Smith that will completely free up
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: your needs going into the. Draft If carter Or hunter are,
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: there you take. Them if, not you try to trade
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: back a few spots and Take Campbell warren and let
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: them develop into their true.
- 1:42:12Speaker 21: Roles what's up with A Mariy COOPER i mean, washed, Washed,
- 1:42:16Speaker 21: Yeah AND i know everybody's like probably rolls their eyes
- 1:42:20Speaker 21: WHEN i bring up the numbers at wide.
- 1:42:22Speaker 4: Receiver but if you're bringing In, DIGS i mean you're
- 1:42:26Speaker 4: you have seven receivers that that you're thinking might have
- 1:42:29Speaker 4: a chance to make the roster. Already so now if
- 1:42:31Speaker 4: you bring In cooper on now you have. Eight at
- 1:42:34Speaker 4: some point there's just not another room for people on the.
- 1:42:36Speaker 4: Roster so like If diggs has, Signed diggs is obviously
- 1:42:39Speaker 4: making the. Team Mac collins is obviously making the. Team,
- 1:42:43Speaker 4: uh you know you Have, Douglas Booty, Polk, Baker Kendrick,
- 1:42:46Speaker 4: bourne like you got a lot Of there's a lot
- 1:42:49Speaker 4: of numbers, There so assigning A Mariy cooper like it's
- 1:42:52Speaker 4: gonna have to be. SOMEBODY i feel like that that's
- 1:42:54Speaker 4: a little bit, uh you, know moves the needle a
- 1:42:57Speaker 4: little bit more than that to free up another.
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: Uh Jordan hudson writing In, OKAY i don't Follow. DAN
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: i didn't follow last year's draft as. Closely from What i've,
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: heard people weren't thrilled about The Caden wallace. Pick The
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: Morgan moses move clearly indicates we have no intention of starting.
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: Him there must this indicate we are intent on Playing
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: wallace at left. Tackle do we think he would be
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: an improvement Over Vederian. Lowe he only played a few
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: games last, year but he didn't seem to do terribly
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: considering he exclusively played right tackle in.
- 1:43:31Speaker 4: College, yeah came against The, jets was, rough but that
- 1:43:34Speaker 4: was his first career start and he was playing on
- 1:43:36Speaker 4: the left. Side So i'll give. Him i'll give him
- 1:43:39Speaker 4: a lot of those. Caveats i'm sure he'll be like
- 1:43:42Speaker 4: everybody else in that group and have a, chance just
- 1:43:45Speaker 4: Like Ladon robinson will have a. Chance and you know
- 1:43:48Speaker 4: City s And Cole. Strange you, know whether it's at
- 1:43:50Speaker 4: guard or it's at. Tackle when they drafted, him some
- 1:43:53Speaker 4: people thought he was going to be better off at
- 1:43:55Speaker 4: guard in THE nfl, Anyways so maybe he tries out
- 1:43:59Speaker 4: left guard a little bit as, well and they give
- 1:44:02Speaker 4: him a chance to play that spot. Too SO i
- 1:44:05Speaker 4: think he's gonna he's going to be in the. Competition you,
- 1:44:08Speaker 4: know he's going to be.
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: In he's still interests me. THOUGH i, Mean I'M i
- 1:44:11Speaker 3: don't necessarily See Morgan moses signing as being oh, well
- 1:44:14Speaker 3: we're done with. HIM i, Mean whiles didn't really get
- 1:44:16Speaker 3: much of a chance last. YEAR i JUST i think
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: they need to take the pressure off. Him he can't
- 1:44:20Speaker 3: be the starter going into, camp but you know he
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: starts out at the swing. Tackle, fred you brought up
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: brilliant show guys get hurt all the. TIME i wouldn't
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: give up on Kid. WALLACE i think he was miscast
- 1:44:29Speaker 3: last years like he's going to be our savior as
- 1:44:31Speaker 3: the left, tackle you, know after playing right. Tackle but
- 1:44:34Speaker 3: the fact was he was viewed as a very positively
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: as a developmental right, tackle and you, know maybe that's
- 1:44:39Speaker 3: actually what he. Is and at some point maybe this
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: season they need to call on him to step.
- 1:44:43Speaker 4: In and in a more power oriented player, too WHICH
- 1:44:46Speaker 4: i think in this system with, McDaniels if they're going
- 1:44:49Speaker 4: to be what we know Of josh of downhill gap
- 1:44:51Speaker 4: runs and things like, that he might be a little
- 1:44:53Speaker 4: bit of a better fit than what they were trying
- 1:44:55Speaker 4: to do last. YEAR i thought both their lineman picks
- 1:44:58Speaker 4: As Caden wallace And Leiden robinson kind of felt like
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: they were scouting for the old offense and drafted guys
- 1:45:04Speaker 4: that really fit that offense a little bit better than
- 1:45:07Speaker 4: the zone, offense WHICH i thought was. Interesting so now
- 1:45:10Speaker 4: that they're going back to that, Style kane wall is
- 1:45:13Speaker 4: a big. GUY i think he's like three, TWENTY i
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: want to, say so he can move.
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: PEOPLE i, mean and Maybe Morgan moses takes him under
- 1:45:20Speaker 3: his wing and you, know helps him blossom into being
- 1:45:23Speaker 3: that right. TACKLE i Think morgan was a signed a
- 1:45:25Speaker 3: two year. DEAL i mean it's or it was three
- 1:45:27Speaker 3: EVEN i.
- 1:45:28Speaker 8: Think it was.
- 1:45:28Speaker 4: Three but, like let's see how many real years.
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: Are let's, See, Yeah joe wants to. Know can we
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: talk about How evans struggled to subtract ten from thirty?
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: Eight GET i get estimates if it's a seven or
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: a fourteen or, something but, guy it's. Ten your college educated.
- 1:45:44Speaker 4: You one hundred percent? Right i'm terrible at like simple
- 1:45:47Speaker 4: math on the fly like. That, yeah my brain's. Attraction
- 1:45:51Speaker 4: my brain doesn't work like, that which is so funny
- 1:45:53Speaker 4: because like.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: So you would not be the guy in the booth
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: helping the.
- 1:45:56Speaker 4: Head, no, no, No i'm not quick on my, feet

- 1:54:10Speaker 3: EXPECTATION I i don't THINK i can find a successful
- 1:54:15Speaker 3: season with five or less, wins BUT i think you
- 1:54:17Speaker 3: can find a successful season with six or more. Wins
- 1:54:21Speaker 3: but Like paul always, says you got to see how
- 1:54:22Speaker 3: it LOOKS i, mean what if they're in all these
- 1:54:24Speaker 3: games and they lose some heartbreakers and you know they
- 1:54:27Speaker 3: let's say they have an injury at a key position
- 1:54:29Speaker 3: and you know that they're under you, know so you
- 1:54:31Speaker 3: got to see what it looks. Like BUT i just,
- 1:54:33Speaker 3: six got to get to.
- 1:54:34Speaker 4: Six it might be overrating rabel impact a little, bit
- 1:54:38Speaker 4: BUT i just feel like he's the type of coach
- 1:54:39Speaker 4: that doesn't have like horrible losing, seasons you know WHAT i?
- 1:54:43Speaker 4: Mean like LIKE i feel like that's why like six
- 1:54:46Speaker 4: or seven wins IS i can't fathom them losing more than,
- 1:54:50Speaker 4: that just BECAUSE i think they're going to have a
- 1:54:52Speaker 4: certain floor right.
- 1:54:53Speaker 3: Right if they do What, rabel take advantage and take
- 1:54:55Speaker 3: advantage of bad, football they do, THAT i think that's
- 1:54:58Speaker 3: that's worth six.
