Former NFL offensive lineman Ephraim Salaam is in for Rob, and he and Kelvin tell us what the Kenny Pickett trade means for Shedeur Sanders’ future with the Cleveland Browns. Plus, The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd swings by to discuss the narrative that Sanders is being ‘sabotaged’ by head coach Kevin Stefanski, why the team seems more committed to developing Dillon Gabriel than Shedeur, why he was so shocked to see the Browns move on from Pickett, and much more! Later, former NFL All-Pro Marcellus Wiley checks in to tell us what he doesn’t like about Shedeur Sanders, whether we can expect the Dallas Cowboys to make a playoff run this year, how the New York Giants should handle their quarterback situation, and much more!

Speaker 4 (01:03):
On those days, luckily, there's a leave with just one
pill of lead provides up to twelve hours of pain
relief so you can keep moving.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You use as directed.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Got a guests getting ready to join us here in
a moment, we got Jason Lloyd, and then coming up
a little bit later, we're gonna have Marcellus Wiley as well,
and then we also have Ain't nobody got time for
that coming up the very last bit of the hour,
ephrom where I saw something today and you can just
you can see a rookie when you see a rookie
if you just know, oh, that's a rookie looking at something.
So we'll get to that in just a little bit
(01:32):
as well. But one of the things you and I
were talking about last hour, we're looking forward to having
a conversation with Jason Lloyd Columns for the Athletic about
is what we saw what happened in Cleveland. We're gonna
have that conversation when we get him up here in
a little bit and what really will happen moving forward,
which again none of us really know.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Will he being sure do or make the fifty three man?
Will he not?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I believe he will because the quarterback is a position
you need and not to mention when you have a
forty year old quarterback. You have quarterback Kenny Picktts already
injured in a rookie, and Dylan Gabriel. You don't know
what's gonna happen. And by the way, the things that
goes with the Browns wouldn't be shocked off. All of
them pay play at some point. That what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Between injuries and not playing well, those two things, it
would absolutely not shock me if at the end of
the season all four will have played a couple of
games at minimum, just to see what you got.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He had to play. He was injured. He was out
three four weeks, so he had to play, you know
what I mean. And now you look up they all
played two three games. He may have played four or five,
and then you're just like, what do we do next?
And you make decisions moving forward. That would not absolutely
not shock me if everyone got a chance to start
a couple of times upcoming season for the Browns.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Would No, I don't think it. It would shock anybody.
They don't have a quarterback. When you have four quarterbacks
and talking about carrying four quarterbacks on your active roster,
which is an impossible thing to do. Your team is
in First of all, the reason it's impossible, let me
explain it to people as impossible, is because each of
(03:01):
those spots you take away from a position you need,
their team isn't talented enough to not use those roster
spots in other positions name league special teams. None of
the quarterbacks do anything but play quarterback. So if you
have four quarterbacks on the active roster, only one, uh
(03:23):
possibly two will play in any any given game. So
you have two spots taken up. Now one could be
an active and then you can have two active or
three active. Those are real spots that other positions would
use to fill out your special teams. So when I
say you just can't do it, you don't have the
(03:44):
numbers to just give away some spots because you're experimenting
at the quarterback position. The experiment, a lot of experiment
need for as long. My gosh, At some point you
think you're laying into something, well, no, they they be
missing the they'll be missing the runway, You miss a
whole lot. Like at some point you think you just
kind of land one and you go, all right, we
got that right. The last time we saw four quarterbacks
(04:05):
with the New Orleans Saints. And they had Taysom Hill.
He was playing quarterback, receiver, running back, tight end. Let's
play every fullbacks. Dylan Gabriel, I got a skill set,
we don't know. I don't think Kenny Pickett. I think
they're probably gonna trade him or release him.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, I don't. I just don't see the future in him.
Joe Flacco makes again. You got the veteran. I get understand.
It's some stability. He had been there before. He understands
the system, the organization. You got that, you're good with that.
That makes sense. But Kenny Pickett, I just don't know.
I've out and the injury, you know, really kept him out.
I was gonna say, somebody who can ask about that
(04:41):
is Jason Lloyd columns for The Athletic Ultimate Cleveland Sports
Show just right now, and as we said it different,
Kenny Pickett has been traded.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Jay.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't want to say I'm a genius, but go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, Joe, thank you for joining us, Jason and breaking
on down for we're just getting this in that Kenny Pickett,
they told him to kick it.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm a little surprised by that because he was
on track to be the starter prior to the hamstring injury.
They gave up a five for him along with Dorian
Thompson Robinson to CLI from Philly, and now they just
shipped them to the Raiders that looked like and basically
recouped the five. So no harm, no foul on that.
He clears up the room a little bit. I am
(05:22):
a little bit surprised. I have was on record here
all summer. I thought Kenny was gonna be the starter.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Why though, let me ask you why, I mean, why
not Joe Flacco? Why not start once they started to
draft these young guys in Dylan and Shaduur, why not
start the youth moving and move there? Why were you
saying Kenny's the guy, not that he's older.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Only because he was the first one to get here.
They made a priority to go out to Choirm. I
know Kevin liked them. I think they liked his athleticism.
I think they liked the fact that he didn't turn
the ball over, and I think they just felt like
there was a little bit more to get out of
them than what Pittsburgh showed. But obviously, you know, then
(06:01):
he hit the hamstring injury, and they, I mean, on
the timing of Flack like they signed Joe a month
into free agency and that it's just always I just
was sort of like, we'll just pay attention to what
they're doing. Kenny was here first, Joe came really really late,
and then obviously the rookies come in the draft, and
then that really muddles the room. Taking two rookies really
(06:22):
kind of clogged things up a little bit. And then
Kenny has the hamstring injury, so he sort of falls behind.
Joe looks just like Joe. I mean, he's still he
had the best arming camp. He could throw it better
than anybody, and so now you roll with Joe, And
I think, really what this is is an indication that
they feel really comfortable with Dylan Gabriel's the backup quarterback.
I think he presented himself well over the weekend and
(06:45):
that preseason game against the Rams, and they feel like
they're comfortable if anything happens Joe and looks, be honest,
he's forty. Something's going to happen to Joe, right, Yeah,
that they feel comfortable with doing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Uh, look, just you laid that out perfectly. Let me
ask you this one, Jason, why would they do that? Like,
why would they bring a Joe Flackole back in after
like you said, Kenny was probably going to be their
projected starter.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And then on top of.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
All of that, why would they muddy it more with
drafting two quarterbacks? There's that that's an impossible situation to
be and why would a team put themselves behind the
eight ball that much at one position?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
It's the brown I don't know what to tell you
other than it's the Browns. Do what the Browns do?
You know, on the on the surface, the idea of
taking two quarterbacks as an outlandish it was the one
that they took, and the fact that they took him
after the one that they really wanted. You know, it
just felt like it felt to me. And by the way,
like I really like Shador and of all of them
(07:52):
that are here, including doing like, I think he's the one.
And even when Kenny was here, he was the only
one that you look at and go, okay, well, maybe
even get something out of him long term. You know,
maybe there's something here. But you know, when you trade
down in the draft and you go from two to
five and you acquire a future first round pick for
next year, you're telling everybody your quarterback is coming next year.
(08:14):
This is not a good draft of quarterbacks, and the
owner has basically said that Jemmy has them is on
record twice. He said it in March with the owners meetings,
and he said it again a couple of weeks ago.
To start a training camp, it may take two to
three years to solve this riddle that they have at quarterbacks.
So they're telling you they're going to take a quarterback
next year, so the idea that they can develop one
of these guys long term, that's the only rub on that.
(08:35):
It's like, well, no, you really can't.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
You really got one.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Year to see what you've got in these guys, because
everybody knows if you're in position to go get somebody
next year, you're going to go back in the draft
and get somebody. And by bringing the store here, it
just felt like they sort of cut the legs out
from Dylan because of the shadow that Shador casts. I mean,
you got Dylan answering, he makes one flipped remark the
in house sideline reporter about competitors and entertainers, and now
(08:59):
he's got a like answer for that. Yeah, I mean,
now we've got Kevin being asked at the podium are
you sabotaging Shador?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Like?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Think about think about how insane that is that the
head coach is being asked that. But this is the
situation that they put themselves in when they when they
brought Shador in here.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't think if I made my my throw my
opinion in here, I don't think it was that they
brought him. I think it's when they brought him. Meaning
had they drafted them second third round, I think people
would have oh, yeah, you know, but I absolutely yeah
it was Daddy was fifth and all that means you
you let him go four other times and they let
him go, and why now? And and now you got
fans who are in people who are pundits, who are
(09:37):
you know, really outwardly rooting for him and pushing for him,
and it just it turned up the fervor a bit.
Jason Lloyd, our guest column is for The Athletic Unlimited
or Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show as well by Jason Lloyd
on X give him a follow there. Let me stay
there for a minute with short Shador, you being there daily,
you get in the field some of us.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I've never met him. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I just see what I see and see what I
see on social Obviously with the gameplay, there is a
difference between. I think sometimes what's projective, right, somebody seems cocky,
they seem arrogant, they seem flipping, But when you're around him,
you're like, yo, that's just a misconception. He's actually a
really cool guy. I'll give you an example. It's not
apples and apples. He's in a different sport. But I
can see how Anthony Edwards could turn somebody off per
(10:19):
se because the way he might answer things, he always
brings it back to that I'm the man, I'm finna
go like Luca up and all that.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But when you really hear.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
About him, everyone loves him. All his veterans in the
league love him.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They love they just said, that's aunt being an aunt,
and they love his hard work and his work ethic
and they root for him.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Is this kind of the case what shoulduel?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Where maybe people are seeing the clips and seeing that
but really don't know the young man, or is there
something too playing my music when I come out and
keeping a little entourage and the videos where do you
kind of come out on one of the one of
the two.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Well, it's funny because the entourage was just a teammates
walking in the stadium. It was just teammates. And I
haven't spent a ton of time around him, Like I'm
not going to pretend that I know him inside and out.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
But in the interactions where I've been around him, I
think he's extremely likable and I could see why teammates
would like him. I could see why people are drawn
to him. Really honestly, to me, it's the noise around
him more than him. It's this unhinged, lunatic crazy people
around him that are distracting more than him himself. He's fine, like,
(11:23):
and he had a bad day Saturday, like it happens.
He's not ready and it's you know, I sweet yesterday
was He's not ready. And that doesn't mean he's never
going to be ready. He means he's not ready right now.
And he's a fifth round tick. Who is what fifth
round pick is ready to start as a rookie. And
that's the frustrating part I think for the situation that
he's end here is again, I fully believe that they're
(11:45):
going to draft a quarterback unless one of these guys.
It is on them, It's on Dylan or Shador. It
can't be both. It's going to be one. It's on
one of those guys to provide overwhelming evidence to the
Browns over the next four months that you don't have
to go get a guy. I'm right here, and I
don't know that they're going to get enough reps or opportunities.
(12:06):
Although Kenny leaving tonight certainly clears the way clears a
little bit of that up. I just don't know that
they're going to get enough game reps too to show
that from this point forward. But yeah, I mean, I
think he's extremely likable. I've really enjoyed being around like.
I think he's funny, he's charismatic, he's engaging. I have Yeah,
a lot of the noise that comes with him is
(12:26):
from the outside, it's not from him.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And that's what I gathered he from that.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's again I don't know him, but I've felt more
like that, more like an Anthony Edwards kind of a thing.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Where this is the problem I'm having. You said he's
not ready right there is that he's has work to
be done, right, he has to get better. My question
to you is, and this is based on him and
his reactions in some of you know the things he
said and his behavior on the sideline. Does he know
that he's not ready?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I that's a great question. I think when they turn
the film on from yesterday and listen, it's one game,
it's a preseason game. But I think, and I'll even
go back to the Jacksonville GA where everybody was raving
about the Jacksonville game. I talked to an NFL coach
you watched the film and said, he's late. He's late,
he's going to places where he shouldn't be going, and
he's really really late. He's playing on tape delay. And
(13:16):
that's on a game where we all looked at him
and said, wow, that was great, like that was an
incredible performance. But NFL coaches looking at this stuff differently.
And if he doesn't know that he's not ready, I
think that yesterday should show him sort of areas and
they shouldn't be a surprise to him.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Right like it.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
These are all the things that were the knock on
him coming out of college. And no, the pockets weren't
perfect yesterday, but they were clean enough and there were
opportunities to step up and move around and make plays,
and instead he ran backwards twenty yards. You can't do that.
If you're doing that against third stringers that in the
final preseason game, what are you going to do in
Baltimore in week two? Like, how are you going to
respond then? So if he doesn't know, he's not ready,
(13:56):
I think the film from this will show it to him.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
We gonna be watching now. And there's the news. Canny
Pickett has been traded to the Raiders. Radered making a
few moves in the last twenty four hours or so.
All right, well, hey Jason, thank you man, Jason Lloyd,

Speaker 2 (16:33):
All right from real quick.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Just as a reminder here, we got that as we were
talking to Jason Boyd Boone that just dropped down for
a fifth round pick the Browns who traded for a
fifth round pick to get Kenny picking from the Steelers
and then give him up for a fifth round pick.
So that was the biggest wte to everybody's time. And
he walked out of it with a bad handstring. That
was the only thing he got out of this. Dang,
(16:55):
I got a bad.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Hamstring and some airline tickets I got to get out. Well,
I mean not that I'm a anybody say you're a prophet,
no no, no, no, no, no, no prognosticator, but I am
one eighteenth psychic mama side on my mama's mama side.
But I knew that once Kenny was unable to perform
(17:21):
that he's eye man out right.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We've seen the three quarterbacks play. Huntley's gone.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
He was a stop gap because of the injuries to
all quarterbacks except for Flacole. And so we have a
saying in the NFL locker rooms and a lot of sports,
professional sports is the writings on the wall, like it's
not a surprise, you know, Well.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Hold on let me jump in here, because to me,
if you are Rob Parker, I will be standing on
this table screaming in your face. Right, I told you
they weren't to cut this man and that going on
into the shador. Now that Kenny looks like a shador.
I mean, you know, we still got about twenty less
than twenty four hours. You never know, but that could
have been an option if you sat here next to
(18:02):
me the last two couple of weeks here, I think
should Shoul absolutely make the same I think he absolutely
has room to grow, but he seems like he could
be a quarterback in the NFL. I wouldn't want to
cut that guy. And I believe he has more visibly
now than Kenny did and the opportunities he got and
so that but that was an option to cut Dylan
or to cut Shaudure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Why not do that?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well, my whole thing is one of these guys is
gonna be on the practice squad.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I am not sure what the current rules are about
the practice squad, but if you wanted to sign players
to the practice squad, you had to release them. They
had to clear waiversus and then you can sign them
back to the practice squad.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It may be different now, but it could come down
to I think if they know if they release them,
someone maybe will pick him up. Absolutely. I mean now
you and you get everything that comes with him though,
(19:08):
so you get everything that comes true, the good and
the bad.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Are you watching the American Team docuseries at all? The
the cob Boys point being some people are a okay
with fanfare. Yeah, some people are a okay with just
any semblance of relevance and publicity will take it all.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Well, most people aren't. That's why he got drafted in
the fifth n I agree, I absolutely agree. I think
it played a role.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I think his.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Again, this is why as Jason Lloyd, I guess if
you didn't get a chance to see it, check out
the podcast, maybe perceive perception. But what comes with him
versus who he really is? Yeah, And I think some
people aren't able to decipher that because if you come
up with the loud music, you got this, you know,
your little brash and I'm instead of oh g golly shuck, sir,
I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I'll just if you don't come up that approach. I want.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I don't have to be that, but you you Gotta.
I kind of stumped him a little bit, and he
was like, that's a good question. When I asked, coming
off your question, does he know that there's a lot
of work that needs to be done before he's ready
to be That's a real question if a player doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I think he knows, though, because I think it's from
everything we've seen or heard. Even he has been meticulous
a studyer works hard.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
I think a part of that has to have been
because he wasn't as naturally gifted as his dad, like
just pure athlete, pure talent.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think he's fully aware of that. I've had to
put in the work, put in the extra time, put
in that. So I think you can't do all that.
Watch Fiel know all that, and they look at yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
And think, well, I'm just going to at the end
of the after that game, and he just ain't want
to say, Oh, I get it. But reality is reality,
and your perception of you is something of yourself is
not always what the reality of it is. He's carried
himself like a first round draft pick, and he's carried
himself like an NFL starter. I don't have a problem
with you doing that, but the work must back up
(21:08):
the actions. That's the problem. Like, I don't know, because
everything he's saying, he's saying all the right stuff, But
can he live up to this whole thing that he's created.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I'm a fan of his I'm a fan of his families,
the fatherhood, the sons, all of that.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
But like I said, the league doesn't care. Man, The
League don't care. And ultimately you and I might be
sitting here in two years. He might have to go
somewhere else to do it. He may be sitting with us.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Ain't nobody really got a chance, for the most part,
to do their thing in Cleveland over the last two
plus decades.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So what the wait and see?
Speaker 9 (21:46):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Marcella's wiley on the other side of trying to hear
Steve the saga right now, I'm gonna get you up there,
tod Hey, Steve.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All Right, Steve, appreciate it. You are right about that.
We got from myself watching Venus right now, Like she
she's trying putting the work in. She said, hold on,
let me show these people. It just Age ain't number
the numbers trying to do it. See our couple, Kevin Washington,
we got my money from Salama and for Rob Parker
on this Magic City Monday joined now by former NFL
(22:22):
program that Age on you speaking of a that's.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
On YouTube. Marcella Ley is our guest.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
What up?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Man?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
We're telling you to talk about Magic City, Mondays and
Venus Will still playing tennis with the hell going on
in this world? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
What you was having some flashbacks when we brought out
of Magic City Monday.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say it overrated. It ain't
what you think. When you get there, you realize you
could have just went home. But you're out and it's
a problem.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Well, I'm gonna tell you what. It's just based on
your your experiences and all that. All you're saying is you've.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Experienced he's been being something different. So I'm looking at
you at a different expert. Really what him? I'm talking
about that dude?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, I'm saying we're talking to Marcellus Wiley right now,
but there's another guy inside him.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That's now dormant called that that dude. No, I know,
I'm fully aware, Yo, you know, yeah that dude. Well, man,
let's get into this real quick. Put a button on
this conversation we've obviously had for some time now, throughout
the duration of the off season and the training camp
and all that. And then also even on the show today,
your thoughts on scheduur. I don't even know if you know,
(23:34):
because it just happened in the last twenty twenty five
minutes or so ken he Pickt being traded to the Raiders.
Just your thoughts of what Cleveland's doing at the quarterback position,
and then we'll move on to some other stuff.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Yeah, I think it went as it had to go.
You brought in Joe Flacco, man, and Joe Flacco of
late has hit a renaissance and started to find his
mojo again. So all these one year opportunities, he finds
himself off the couch and still lead these teams into
better places. So I knew Flak was gonna be the starter.
I thought that, you know, Pickett not being healthy basically
(24:06):
the entire preseason, he wrote his own ticket out of Cleveland.
But maybe too greener pastors in going to Las Vegas,
Shaduur and Dylan, I think that the depth chart actually
reflects how they played this preseason. Chador played good, but
not good enough to surpass anybody on that depth chart.
And frankly, Dylan Gabriel played better overall because he read
(24:30):
defenses better, anticipated the throws a little better than Shaduur,
and didn't have as many negative plays. Even though he
had one of the biggest with that pick six, he
still seemed like he had a better command of the
offense than Shaduur.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But shadu should feel good.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
Man a fifth round pick who finds himself on the team.
He made the team fifth round. It's hard to make
the squad, and then he's gonna have a whole year
probably to develop and to fix the issues that he has.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Let me ask you a question. We had Jason Lloyd
on and I asked him this question and he says, Shadoor,
has you know a lot of work to do? Is
you know he has time? He has a lot of
work to do? And my question to him was, does
he know that he has a lot of work to do?
Because he carries himself like a first round draft pick.
He's you know, like, for me, I see some flaw
(25:20):
in his approach. What are your thoughts on that? Does
he know that he has a lot of work to
do to be successful in this league?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Man, I'm with you.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I don't think it's really hit home for him yet.
He obviously got humbled on draft day, and you know,
you go from legendary to humbled. I think a lot
of times you just hold your breast until you get
back on top of that mountain, top of that horse,
and then we're gonna see the old Shadour again. And
that's not to say you can't have confidence, cockiness, swagger,
but in sports especially, you got to be him to
(25:53):
be that guy. And if you're not him in terms
of performance, like your dad was, Shoud, you can't pull
that off. And we were talking about it today. Man,
it's frankly, it's like almost in dating to generalize. A
lot of times, the fine girl, the beautiful girl. You know,
she could say whatever, she won't and you're just gonna
be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but look at her, man,
(26:14):
or look I want to go out with her. But
if you ain't looking like that, don't be acting like that.
And Shader ain't as fine as he think he is
in terms of performance. And so if this really that simple,
and I don't know why everybody is acting like they
don't know that Dion had on ninety eight goal chains,
told teams not to draft them, told teams I'm gonna
be on lay away, I'm gonna call so much, and they.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Still were begging for him. When you him, you can
do that, when you ain't, you better not.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, that's and we talked about that. I mentioned that today.
I say he ain't the athlete. His dad was one
of them dudes. We're gonna overlook everything. I don't give
what did he say, I don't even care, just but
he is Dion. He's that good. Marcella's Wally, that dude,
our guest. Let me go to some of the Maybe
there's a handful of teams that we're looking at and
expecting a lot of things from. Then there's a handful
to me who kind of ride it that middling place
(27:01):
that could have something to say when it's all said
and done. A couple teams, like let's say we're all
here in Los Angeles. You got the Rams who can
maybe say something. Your former team, the Chargers, you got
maybe depending on where you will put the Lions, Uh,
Buccaneers as a handful of teams are like, don't forget
about us. What are a couple of teams you're looking
at saying this season might go very well for them.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
If X goes right.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
Yeah, I mean obviously that you just said. And I'm
excited for the Chargers to find their run pass balance,
not only rooting for him, but with Herbert, he's a
lot if you get him on track with the running game,
which is gonna be a lot for this team, they
can do some things.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
It's gonna be interesting with the defense they have.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
That said, I would add it's crazy. I mean, Washington
obviously is gonna be in the mix. We got to
see how that all plays out. They signed their star
receiver today, so that's good. I'm looking at Dallas, man,
I'm not gonna lie. People always always look at you
and side eye you when you say that.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm looking at you, inside eye on you. Right now.
You ain't got to worry about that. Right now we speak.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
They got a roster and I know it's always drama field,
and it seems like they're more of a content team
than they are actually going out there trying to win
a chip. But dog, they got squad, especially with Dak
Prescott back healthy, all the good stuff, they could do something.
We'll see That division is interesting. As much as I
love Philly, Philly, you know, you don't know if the
(28:23):
belly is full, you don't know if the mojo's back.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
They lost a lot of office.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Alignment over the last couple of years.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
The people are not really adding up. They lost one
this offseason.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
We'll see how they play in terms of up front
for Sakwan. But the Dallas Cowboys sneak up.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
In there, man, with all that talent. Sooner or later
it got it got a problem.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I just because they paid you a bunch of money, man,
that don't mean you just got to die on that
sword with them.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Let me finish, let me finish this documentary, let me
find out he in.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
The right.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Pulling up and it had to be something. But let
me ask you about this. Let me ask you about
Russell Wilson in his journey and New York with the Giants,
because you know, Jackson Dart has had a tremendous preseason
and I know he's just Russell's the starter. But when
you got a rookie coming in and he's commanding the
field like he's commanding you know, you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Start looking like, oh, dude, what do we do? Do
we play him now sooner than later? What do you think?
How do you think that's going to play out with
those two guys?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Man?
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Ain't it crazy how ironic this is for Russell Wilson,
Like he just finds himself in this position. It's almost
like the karma poetic justice of how he took Matt
Flynn's job. He won, and now he's just in this position.
And look, I don't want to give it to Jackson
Dart too early, just because once you give it to
a rookie, and if they don't take advantage of it,
(29:47):
it's an awkward situation.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You could undermine their confidence. It just gets weird.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
So you kind of want to make sure the veteran
fizzles out, just dies there on the field and then
you say all right, show turn. So there's a different
out of pressure on him. But Jackson dark that dude
when he got drafted and cats were mad because obviously
Shador wasn't drafted yet and they were like, oh Shador
over him. I was like, look, I understand the Shador argument,
(30:12):
but it don't have to be over him. Jackson Dart
was an old miss when the double digit wins in
the SEC all games in the SEC and made ole
miss a thing.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Man.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Dude got swagged, Dude got game. He's a two point
old quarterback. He could run, He's a lot and he's
gonna get that job.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
I think this year sometime, all.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Right, I gotta ask you this. The hip hop side
of you clips album out of the Year. Did you
go to the concept over the weekend?
Speaker 10 (30:40):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (30:41):
That album is so perfect and it's every level of life.
It hits you from the bangers yep.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
And then it say no, let me go deep.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Then let's go to the next level of Flights after Life.
He took it everywhere. That album is next level. The
only album this year better than that is K Pop
Demon Hunters. That's the only And if y'all ain't hit
to that yet, I'm telling y'all, y'all better get on
that little Kid's movie all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
It's next level.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Well, let me tell you this.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
You gotta remember because Kendrick released his album when he did,
He Is He Too, was also up for Album of
the Year this Grammy cycle yes, the mathem, I'm telling
you what it is about by six plus two, he
might be.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
He is, it's not a mite. So you need to
take the clips or you gotta.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Take k dot g n X g n X or
the clips album was better.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yep. Remember where you from? Remember where you from? Remember
where you're from.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Man, I'm gonna tap out. I'm going K pop with the.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
D That's a wise man. That's a wise man.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
The best part about it, for it was close enough
somebody here and he said k dot. He said k dot.
That's what he's right, right right, yeah, Hey, well, we
appreciate you, big dog.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
As always. We got to get up, so man, thank
you so much, brother, Love you man.
Speaker 5 (32:08):

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I would come over there and get on some uh on,
some pickleball. But the way my knee is set up

messed up since I met Marcellus. That's the worst part
about it, all right, Marcell's appreciate.

I want to do, and that is ain't nobody got
time for that. You know, we've been in a heat
advisory heat wave and all that for the last five
six days out here in southern California. It's been very,
very hot, even in places where it's not normally that hot,
(35:38):
and if you live deep in the valley like I do,
it was really hot. We're talking ninety eight degrees. When
I got out to take with Rob g and as
I get rolling it from I see a man. He's
got a shorts, he's got a shirt on, he's got
like a big strap on his back, and I'm like, what's.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Going on there?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And he's got a little bucket hat on and he's
just chilling at a stop sign. Maybe he stopped to
kind of look at the watch before he gets walking again.
Oh it's too hot, fraud act. And as I roll up,
you know what the strap was about a five month
old baby in the front.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Ain't nobody getting time for that?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Ninety eight degrees. He had the nerve to have the
bucket head on, but didn't have a half.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Of the baby. Lord, ain't nobody getting tame. Ain't nobody
got time for that in this heat wave? Brother?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
And I thought to myself, he for man, Maybe this
is his first dad, you know, he don't know. He's
trying to do ride, get out walk. It's what they
always do. We walk around this time. Mommy's at work
kind of a thing and not realizing the heat danger
this Why is the heat advisors?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Why it's heat warnings?
Speaker 1 (36:31):

eight degrees in the valley at three pm, sun beaming,
keep baby in the house.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Ain't nobody get take your walk?

he was just trying to get the walk. What no, no, no, no,
no exercise. You shouldn't even be out there.

go get some pretzels, enjoy yourself, rob Gie, from my tripping,
Am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Nah?
Speaker 4 (37:02):
You're not tripping. Look, you know most people can have kids,
not everybody should have kids. I thought I was saying,
that's that's way too hot.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
You don't want you wouldn't even take your dog for
a walk. Now, what would you take your baby for
a walk? I'm telling you, I was driving my mind,

would be correct? Okay, one hundred dollars answer to rob Chie,
that's another like not only is it hot. It's unsafe.
You could get some burn out there if you want
to have the right pigmentation I want.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You use as directed.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Got a guests getting ready to join us here in
a moment, we got Jason Lloyd, and then coming up
a little bit later, we're gonna have Marcellus Wiley as well,
and then we also have Ain't nobody got time for
that coming up the very last bit of the hour,
ephrom where I saw something today and you can just
you can see a rookie when you see a rookie
if you just know, oh, that's a rookie looking at something.
So we'll get to that in just a little bit
(01:32):
as well. But one of the things you and I
were talking about last hour, we're looking forward to having
a conversation with Jason Lloyd Columns for the Athletic about
is what we saw what happened in Cleveland. We're gonna
have that conversation when we get him up here in
a little bit and what really will happen moving forward,
which again none of us really know.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Will he being sure do or make the fifty three man?
Will he not?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I believe he will because the quarterback is a position
you need and not to mention when you have a
forty year old quarterback. You have quarterback Kenny Picktts already
injured in a rookie, and Dylan Gabriel. You don't know
what's gonna happen. And by the way, the things that
goes with the Browns wouldn't be shocked off. All of
them pay play at some point. That what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Between injuries and not playing well, those two things, it
would absolutely not shock me if at the end of
the season all four will have played a couple of
games at minimum, just to see what you got.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He had to play. He was injured. He was out
three four weeks, so he had to play, you know
what I mean. And now you look up they all
played two three games. He may have played four or five,
and then you're just like, what do we do next?
And you make decisions moving forward. That would not absolutely
not shock me if everyone got a chance to start
a couple of times upcoming season for the Browns.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Would No, I don't think it. It would shock anybody.
They don't have a quarterback. When you have four quarterbacks
and talking about carrying four quarterbacks on your active roster,
which is an impossible thing to do. Your team is
in First of all, the reason it's impossible, let me
explain it to people as impossible, is because each of
(03:01):
those spots you take away from a position you need,
their team isn't talented enough to not use those roster
spots in other positions name league special teams. None of
the quarterbacks do anything but play quarterback. So if you
have four quarterbacks on the active roster, only one, uh
(03:23):
possibly two will play in any any given game. So
you have two spots taken up. Now one could be
an active and then you can have two active or
three active. Those are real spots that other positions would
use to fill out your special teams. So when I
say you just can't do it, you don't have the
(03:44):
numbers to just give away some spots because you're experimenting
at the quarterback position. The experiment, a lot of experiment
need for as long. My gosh, At some point you
think you're laying into something, well, no, they they be
missing the they'll be missing the runway, You miss a
whole lot. Like at some point you think you just
kind of land one and you go, all right, we
got that right. The last time we saw four quarterbacks
(04:05):
with the New Orleans Saints. And they had Taysom Hill.
He was playing quarterback, receiver, running back, tight end. Let's
play every fullbacks. Dylan Gabriel, I got a skill set,
we don't know. I don't think Kenny Pickett. I think
they're probably gonna trade him or release him.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, I don't. I just don't see the future in him.
Joe Flacco makes again. You got the veteran. I get understand.
It's some stability. He had been there before. He understands
the system, the organization. You got that, you're good with that.
That makes sense. But Kenny Pickett, I just don't know.
I've out and the injury, you know, really kept him out.
I was gonna say, somebody who can ask about that
(04:41):
is Jason Lloyd columns for The Athletic Ultimate Cleveland Sports
Show just right now, and as we said it different,
Kenny Pickett has been traded.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Jay.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't want to say I'm a genius, but go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, Joe, thank you for joining us, Jason and breaking
on down for we're just getting this in that Kenny Pickett,
they told him to kick it.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm a little surprised by that because he was
on track to be the starter prior to the hamstring injury.
They gave up a five for him along with Dorian
Thompson Robinson to CLI from Philly, and now they just
shipped them to the Raiders that looked like and basically
recouped the five. So no harm, no foul on that.
He clears up the room a little bit. I am
(05:22):
a little bit surprised. I have was on record here
all summer. I thought Kenny was gonna be the starter.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Why though, let me ask you why, I mean, why
not Joe Flacco? Why not start once they started to
draft these young guys in Dylan and Shaduur, why not
start the youth moving and move there? Why were you
saying Kenny's the guy, not that he's older.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Only because he was the first one to get here.
They made a priority to go out to Choirm. I
know Kevin liked them. I think they liked his athleticism.
I think they liked the fact that he didn't turn
the ball over, and I think they just felt like
there was a little bit more to get out of
them than what Pittsburgh showed. But obviously, you know, then
(06:01):
he hit the hamstring injury, and they, I mean, on
the timing of Flack like they signed Joe a month
into free agency and that it's just always I just
was sort of like, we'll just pay attention to what
they're doing. Kenny was here first, Joe came really really late,
and then obviously the rookies come in the draft, and
then that really muddles the room. Taking two rookies really
(06:22):
kind of clogged things up a little bit. And then
Kenny has the hamstring injury, so he sort of falls behind.
Joe looks just like Joe. I mean, he's still he
had the best arming camp. He could throw it better
than anybody, and so now you roll with Joe, And
I think, really what this is is an indication that
they feel really comfortable with Dylan Gabriel's the backup quarterback.
I think he presented himself well over the weekend and
(06:45):
that preseason game against the Rams, and they feel like
they're comfortable if anything happens Joe and looks, be honest,
he's forty. Something's going to happen to Joe, right, Yeah,
that they feel comfortable with doing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Uh, look, just you laid that out perfectly. Let me
ask you this one, Jason, why would they do that? Like,
why would they bring a Joe Flackole back in after
like you said, Kenny was probably going to be their
projected starter.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And then on top of.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
All of that, why would they muddy it more with
drafting two quarterbacks? There's that that's an impossible situation to
be and why would a team put themselves behind the
eight ball that much at one position?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
It's the brown I don't know what to tell you
other than it's the Browns. Do what the Browns do?
You know, on the on the surface, the idea of
taking two quarterbacks as an outlandish it was the one
that they took, and the fact that they took him
after the one that they really wanted. You know, it
just felt like it felt to me. And by the way,
like I really like Shador and of all of them
(07:52):
that are here, including doing like, I think he's the one.
And even when Kenny was here, he was the only
one that you look at and go, okay, well, maybe
even get something out of him long term. You know,
maybe there's something here. But you know, when you trade
down in the draft and you go from two to
five and you acquire a future first round pick for
next year, you're telling everybody your quarterback is coming next year.
(08:14):
This is not a good draft of quarterbacks, and the
owner has basically said that Jemmy has them is on
record twice. He said it in March with the owners meetings,
and he said it again a couple of weeks ago.
To start a training camp, it may take two to
three years to solve this riddle that they have at quarterbacks.
So they're telling you they're going to take a quarterback
next year, so the idea that they can develop one
of these guys long term, that's the only rub on that.
(08:35):
It's like, well, no, you really can't.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
You really got one.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Year to see what you've got in these guys, because
everybody knows if you're in position to go get somebody
next year, you're going to go back in the draft
and get somebody. And by bringing the store here, it
just felt like they sort of cut the legs out
from Dylan because of the shadow that Shador casts. I mean,
you got Dylan answering, he makes one flipped remark the
in house sideline reporter about competitors and entertainers, and now
(08:59):
he's got a like answer for that. Yeah, I mean,
now we've got Kevin being asked at the podium are
you sabotaging Shador?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Like?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Think about think about how insane that is that the
head coach is being asked that. But this is the
situation that they put themselves in when they when they
brought Shador in here.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't think if I made my my throw my
opinion in here, I don't think it was that they
brought him. I think it's when they brought him. Meaning
had they drafted them second third round, I think people
would have oh, yeah, you know, but I absolutely yeah
it was Daddy was fifth and all that means you
you let him go four other times and they let
him go, and why now? And and now you got
fans who are in people who are pundits, who are
(09:37):
you know, really outwardly rooting for him and pushing for him,
and it just it turned up the fervor a bit.
Jason Lloyd, our guest column is for The Athletic Unlimited
or Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show as well by Jason Lloyd
on X give him a follow there. Let me stay
there for a minute with short Shador, you being there daily,
you get in the field some of us.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I've never met him. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I just see what I see and see what I
see on social Obviously with the gameplay, there is a
difference between. I think sometimes what's projective, right, somebody seems cocky,
they seem arrogant, they seem flipping, But when you're around him,
you're like, yo, that's just a misconception. He's actually a
really cool guy. I'll give you an example. It's not
apples and apples. He's in a different sport. But I
can see how Anthony Edwards could turn somebody off per
(10:19):
se because the way he might answer things, he always
brings it back to that I'm the man, I'm finna
go like Luca up and all that.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But when you really hear.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
About him, everyone loves him. All his veterans in the
league love him.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They love they just said, that's aunt being an aunt,
and they love his hard work and his work ethic
and they root for him.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Is this kind of the case what shoulduel?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Where maybe people are seeing the clips and seeing that
but really don't know the young man, or is there
something too playing my music when I come out and
keeping a little entourage and the videos where do you
kind of come out on one of the one of
the two.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Well, it's funny because the entourage was just a teammates
walking in the stadium. It was just teammates. And I
haven't spent a ton of time around him, Like I'm
not going to pretend that I know him inside and out.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
But in the interactions where I've been around him, I
think he's extremely likable and I could see why teammates
would like him. I could see why people are drawn
to him. Really honestly, to me, it's the noise around
him more than him. It's this unhinged, lunatic crazy people
around him that are distracting more than him himself. He's fine, like,
(11:23):
and he had a bad day Saturday, like it happens.
He's not ready and it's you know, I sweet yesterday
was He's not ready. And that doesn't mean he's never
going to be ready. He means he's not ready right now.
And he's a fifth round tick. Who is what fifth
round pick is ready to start as a rookie. And
that's the frustrating part I think for the situation that
he's end here is again, I fully believe that they're
(11:45):
going to draft a quarterback unless one of these guys.
It is on them, It's on Dylan or Shador. It
can't be both. It's going to be one. It's on
one of those guys to provide overwhelming evidence to the
Browns over the next four months that you don't have
to go get a guy. I'm right here, and I
don't know that they're going to get enough reps or opportunities.
(12:06):
Although Kenny leaving tonight certainly clears the way clears a
little bit of that up. I just don't know that
they're going to get enough game reps too to show
that from this point forward. But yeah, I mean, I
think he's extremely likable. I've really enjoyed being around like.
I think he's funny, he's charismatic, he's engaging. I have Yeah,
a lot of the noise that comes with him is
(12:26):
from the outside, it's not from him.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And that's what I gathered he from that.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's again I don't know him, but I've felt more
like that, more like an Anthony Edwards kind of a thing.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Where this is the problem I'm having. You said he's
not ready right there is that he's has work to
be done, right, he has to get better. My question
to you is, and this is based on him and
his reactions in some of you know the things he
said and his behavior on the sideline. Does he know
that he's not ready?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I that's a great question. I think when they turn
the film on from yesterday and listen, it's one game,
it's a preseason game. But I think, and I'll even
go back to the Jacksonville GA where everybody was raving
about the Jacksonville game. I talked to an NFL coach
you watched the film and said, he's late. He's late,
he's going to places where he shouldn't be going, and
he's really really late. He's playing on tape delay. And
(13:16):
that's on a game where we all looked at him
and said, wow, that was great, like that was an
incredible performance. But NFL coaches looking at this stuff differently.
And if he doesn't know that he's not ready, I
think that yesterday should show him sort of areas and
they shouldn't be a surprise to him.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Right like it.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
These are all the things that were the knock on
him coming out of college. And no, the pockets weren't
perfect yesterday, but they were clean enough and there were
opportunities to step up and move around and make plays,
and instead he ran backwards twenty yards. You can't do that.
If you're doing that against third stringers that in the
final preseason game, what are you going to do in
Baltimore in week two? Like, how are you going to
respond then? So if he doesn't know, he's not ready,
(13:56):
I think the film from this will show it to him.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
We gonna be watching now. And there's the news. Canny
Pickett has been traded to the Raiders. Radered making a
few moves in the last twenty four hours or so.
All right, well, hey Jason, thank you man, Jason Lloyd,
appreciate your time. Brother, all right, go doubt give him
a follow by Jason Lloyd on social media.
Speaker 2 (14:15):

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Maybe we'll come back circle back on this trade with
Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Talk about that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Also, somebody finally got paid as well. We talked about
Trey Anderson getting some money. There's a receiver who got
his money and was it the right move and how
did the team fair now that they've taken care of
their star receiver. Will tell you that as well as
they couple. We got to eat from man from Rob

Speaker 2 (16:33):
All right from real quick.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Just as a reminder here, we got that as we were
talking to Jason Boyd Boone that just dropped down for
a fifth round pick the Browns who traded for a
fifth round pick to get Kenny picking from the Steelers
and then give him up for a fifth round pick.
So that was the biggest wte to everybody's time. And
he walked out of it with a bad handstring. That
was the only thing he got out of this. Dang,
(16:55):
I got a bad.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Hamstring and some airline tickets I got to get out. Well,
I mean not that I'm a anybody say you're a prophet,
no no, no, no, no, no, no prognosticator, but I am
one eighteenth psychic mama side on my mama's mama side.
But I knew that once Kenny was unable to perform
(17:21):
that he's eye man out right.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We've seen the three quarterbacks play. Huntley's gone.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
He was a stop gap because of the injuries to
all quarterbacks except for Flacole. And so we have a
saying in the NFL locker rooms and a lot of sports,
professional sports is the writings on the wall, like it's
not a surprise, you know, Well.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Hold on let me jump in here, because to me,
if you are Rob Parker, I will be standing on
this table screaming in your face. Right, I told you
they weren't to cut this man and that going on
into the shador. Now that Kenny looks like a shador.
I mean, you know, we still got about twenty less
than twenty four hours. You never know, but that could
have been an option if you sat here next to
(18:02):
me the last two couple of weeks here, I think
should Shoul absolutely make the same I think he absolutely
has room to grow, but he seems like he could
be a quarterback in the NFL. I wouldn't want to
cut that guy. And I believe he has more visibly
now than Kenny did and the opportunities he got and
so that but that was an option to cut Dylan
or to cut Shaudure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Why not do that?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well, my whole thing is one of these guys is
gonna be on the practice squad.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I am not sure what the current rules are about
the practice squad, but if you wanted to sign players
to the practice squad, you had to release them. They
had to clear waiversus and then you can sign them
back to the practice squad.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It may be different now, but it could come down
to I think if they know if they release them,
someone maybe will pick him up. Absolutely. I mean now
you and you get everything that comes with him though,
(19:08):
so you get everything that comes true, the good and
the bad.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Are you watching the American Team docuseries at all? The
the cob Boys point being some people are a okay
with fanfare. Yeah, some people are a okay with just
any semblance of relevance and publicity will take it all.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Well, most people aren't. That's why he got drafted in
the fifth n I agree, I absolutely agree. I think
it played a role.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I think his.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Again, this is why as Jason Lloyd, I guess if
you didn't get a chance to see it, check out
the podcast, maybe perceive perception. But what comes with him
versus who he really is? Yeah, And I think some
people aren't able to decipher that because if you come
up with the loud music, you got this, you know,
your little brash and I'm instead of oh g golly shuck, sir,
I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I'll just if you don't come up that approach. I want.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I don't have to be that, but you you Gotta.
I kind of stumped him a little bit, and he
was like, that's a good question. When I asked, coming
off your question, does he know that there's a lot
of work that needs to be done before he's ready
to be That's a real question if a player doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I think he knows, though, because I think it's from
everything we've seen or heard. Even he has been meticulous
a studyer works hard.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
I think a part of that has to have been
because he wasn't as naturally gifted as his dad, like
just pure athlete, pure talent.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think he's fully aware of that. I've had to
put in the work, put in the extra time, put
in that. So I think you can't do all that.
Watch Fiel know all that, and they look at yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
And think, well, I'm just going to at the end
of the after that game, and he just ain't want
to say, Oh, I get it. But reality is reality,
and your perception of you is something of yourself is
not always what the reality of it is. He's carried
himself like a first round draft pick, and he's carried
himself like an NFL starter. I don't have a problem
with you doing that, but the work must back up
(21:08):
the actions. That's the problem. Like, I don't know, because
everything he's saying, he's saying all the right stuff, But
can he live up to this whole thing that he's created.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I'm a fan of his I'm a fan of his families,
the fatherhood, the sons, all of that.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
But like I said, the league doesn't care. Man, The
League don't care. And ultimately you and I might be
sitting here in two years. He might have to go
somewhere else to do it. He may be sitting with us.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Ain't nobody really got a chance, for the most part,
to do their thing in Cleveland over the last two
plus decades.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So what the wait and see?
Speaker 9 (21:46):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Marcella's wiley on the other side of trying to hear
Steve the saga right now, I'm gonna get you up there,
tod Hey, Steve.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All Right, Steve, appreciate it. You are right about that.
We got from myself watching Venus right now, Like she
she's trying putting the work in. She said, hold on,
let me show these people. It just Age ain't number
the numbers trying to do it. See our couple, Kevin Washington,
we got my money from Salama and for Rob Parker
on this Magic City Monday joined now by former NFL
(22:22):
program that Age on you speaking of a that's.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
On YouTube. Marcella Ley is our guest.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
What up?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Man?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
We're telling you to talk about Magic City, Mondays and
Venus Will still playing tennis with the hell going on
in this world? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
What you was having some flashbacks when we brought out
of Magic City Monday.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say it overrated. It ain't
what you think. When you get there, you realize you
could have just went home. But you're out and it's
a problem.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Well, I'm gonna tell you what. It's just based on
your your experiences and all that. All you're saying is you've.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Experienced he's been being something different. So I'm looking at
you at a different expert. Really what him? I'm talking
about that dude?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, I'm saying we're talking to Marcellus Wiley right now,
but there's another guy inside him.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That's now dormant called that that dude. No, I know,
I'm fully aware, Yo, you know, yeah that dude. Well, man,
let's get into this real quick. Put a button on
this conversation we've obviously had for some time now, throughout
the duration of the off season and the training camp
and all that. And then also even on the show today,
your thoughts on scheduur. I don't even know if you know,
(23:34):
because it just happened in the last twenty twenty five
minutes or so ken he Pickt being traded to the Raiders.
Just your thoughts of what Cleveland's doing at the quarterback position,
and then we'll move on to some other stuff.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Yeah, I think it went as it had to go.
You brought in Joe Flacco, man, and Joe Flacco of
late has hit a renaissance and started to find his
mojo again. So all these one year opportunities, he finds
himself off the couch and still lead these teams into
better places. So I knew Flak was gonna be the starter.
I thought that, you know, Pickett not being healthy basically
(24:06):
the entire preseason, he wrote his own ticket out of Cleveland.
But maybe too greener pastors in going to Las Vegas,
Shaduur and Dylan, I think that the depth chart actually
reflects how they played this preseason. Chador played good, but
not good enough to surpass anybody on that depth chart.
And frankly, Dylan Gabriel played better overall because he read
(24:30):
defenses better, anticipated the throws a little better than Shaduur,
and didn't have as many negative plays. Even though he
had one of the biggest with that pick six, he
still seemed like he had a better command of the
offense than Shaduur.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But shadu should feel good.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
Man a fifth round pick who finds himself on the team.
He made the team fifth round. It's hard to make
the squad, and then he's gonna have a whole year
probably to develop and to fix the issues that he has.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Let me ask you a question. We had Jason Lloyd
on and I asked him this question and he says, Shadoor,
has you know a lot of work to do? Is
you know he has time? He has a lot of
work to do? And my question to him was, does
he know that he has a lot of work to do?
Because he carries himself like a first round draft pick.
He's you know, like, for me, I see some flaw
(25:20):
in his approach. What are your thoughts on that? Does
he know that he has a lot of work to
do to be successful in this league?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Man, I'm with you.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I don't think it's really hit home for him yet.
He obviously got humbled on draft day, and you know,
you go from legendary to humbled. I think a lot
of times you just hold your breast until you get
back on top of that mountain, top of that horse,
and then we're gonna see the old Shadour again. And
that's not to say you can't have confidence, cockiness, swagger,
but in sports especially, you got to be him to
(25:53):
be that guy. And if you're not him in terms
of performance, like your dad was, Shoud, you can't pull
that off. And we were talking about it today. Man,
it's frankly, it's like almost in dating to generalize. A
lot of times, the fine girl, the beautiful girl. You know,
she could say whatever, she won't and you're just gonna
be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but look at her, man,
(26:14):
or look I want to go out with her. But
if you ain't looking like that, don't be acting like that.
And Shader ain't as fine as he think he is
in terms of performance. And so if this really that simple,
and I don't know why everybody is acting like they
don't know that Dion had on ninety eight goal chains,
told teams not to draft them, told teams I'm gonna
be on lay away, I'm gonna call so much, and they.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Still were begging for him. When you him, you can
do that, when you ain't, you better not.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, that's and we talked about that. I mentioned that today.
I say he ain't the athlete. His dad was one
of them dudes. We're gonna overlook everything. I don't give
what did he say, I don't even care, just but
he is Dion. He's that good. Marcella's Wally, that dude,
our guest. Let me go to some of the Maybe
there's a handful of teams that we're looking at and
expecting a lot of things from. Then there's a handful
to me who kind of ride it that middling place
(27:01):
that could have something to say when it's all said
and done. A couple teams, like let's say we're all
here in Los Angeles. You got the Rams who can
maybe say something. Your former team, the Chargers, you got
maybe depending on where you will put the Lions, Uh,
Buccaneers as a handful of teams are like, don't forget
about us. What are a couple of teams you're looking
at saying this season might go very well for them.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
If X goes right.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
Yeah, I mean obviously that you just said. And I'm
excited for the Chargers to find their run pass balance,
not only rooting for him, but with Herbert, he's a
lot if you get him on track with the running game,
which is gonna be a lot for this team, they
can do some things.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
It's gonna be interesting with the defense they have.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
That said, I would add it's crazy. I mean, Washington
obviously is gonna be in the mix. We got to
see how that all plays out. They signed their star
receiver today, so that's good. I'm looking at Dallas, man,
I'm not gonna lie. People always always look at you
and side eye you when you say that.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm looking at you, inside eye on you. Right now.
You ain't got to worry about that. Right now we speak.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
They got a roster and I know it's always drama field,
and it seems like they're more of a content team
than they are actually going out there trying to win
a chip. But dog, they got squad, especially with Dak
Prescott back healthy, all the good stuff, they could do something.
We'll see That division is interesting. As much as I
love Philly, Philly, you know, you don't know if the
(28:23):
belly is full, you don't know if the mojo's back.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
They lost a lot of office.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Alignment over the last couple of years.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
The people are not really adding up. They lost one
this offseason.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
We'll see how they play in terms of up front
for Sakwan. But the Dallas Cowboys sneak up.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
In there, man, with all that talent. Sooner or later
it got it got a problem.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I just because they paid you a bunch of money, man,
that don't mean you just got to die on that
sword with them.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Let me finish, let me finish this documentary, let me
find out he in.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
The right.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Pulling up and it had to be something. But let
me ask you about this. Let me ask you about
Russell Wilson in his journey and New York with the Giants,
because you know, Jackson Dart has had a tremendous preseason
and I know he's just Russell's the starter. But when
you got a rookie coming in and he's commanding the
field like he's commanding you know, you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Start looking like, oh, dude, what do we do? Do
we play him now sooner than later? What do you think?
How do you think that's going to play out with
those two guys?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Man?
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Ain't it crazy how ironic this is for Russell Wilson,
Like he just finds himself in this position. It's almost
like the karma poetic justice of how he took Matt
Flynn's job. He won, and now he's just in this position.
And look, I don't want to give it to Jackson
Dart too early, just because once you give it to
a rookie, and if they don't take advantage of it,
(29:47):
it's an awkward situation.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You could undermine their confidence. It just gets weird.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
So you kind of want to make sure the veteran
fizzles out, just dies there on the field and then
you say all right, show turn. So there's a different
out of pressure on him. But Jackson dark that dude
when he got drafted and cats were mad because obviously
Shador wasn't drafted yet and they were like, oh Shador
over him. I was like, look, I understand the Shador argument,
(30:12):
but it don't have to be over him. Jackson Dart
was an old miss when the double digit wins in
the SEC all games in the SEC and made ole
miss a thing.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Man.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Dude got swagged, Dude got game. He's a two point
old quarterback. He could run, He's a lot and he's
gonna get that job.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
I think this year sometime, all.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Right, I gotta ask you this. The hip hop side
of you clips album out of the Year. Did you
go to the concept over the weekend?
Speaker 10 (30:40):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (30:41):
That album is so perfect and it's every level of life.
It hits you from the bangers yep.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
And then it say no, let me go deep.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Then let's go to the next level of Flights after Life.
He took it everywhere. That album is next level. The
only album this year better than that is K Pop
Demon Hunters. That's the only And if y'all ain't hit
to that yet, I'm telling y'all, y'all better get on
that little Kid's movie all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
It's next level.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Well, let me tell you this.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
You gotta remember because Kendrick released his album when he did,
He Is He Too, was also up for Album of
the Year this Grammy cycle yes, the mathem, I'm telling
you what it is about by six plus two, he
might be.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
He is, it's not a mite. So you need to
take the clips or you gotta.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Take k dot g n X g n X or
the clips album was better.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yep. Remember where you from? Remember where you from? Remember
where you're from.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Man, I'm gonna tap out. I'm going K pop with the.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
D That's a wise man. That's a wise man.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
The best part about it, for it was close enough
somebody here and he said k dot. He said k dot.
That's what he's right, right right, yeah, Hey, well, we
appreciate you, big dog.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
As always. We got to get up, so man, thank
you so much, brother, Love you man.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Man, Man keep it going.
Speaker 2 (32:09):

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I would come over there and get on some uh on,
some pickleball. But the way my knee is set up
right now, he got to call the emt myne even
messed up since I met Marcellus. That's the worst part
about it, all right, Marcell's appreciate.
Speaker 5 (32:21):

advisory heat wave and all that for the last five
six days out here in southern California. It's been very,
very hot, even in places where it's not normally that hot,
(35:38):
and if you live deep in the valley like I do,
it was really hot. We're talking ninety eight degrees. When
I got out to take with Rob g and as
I get rolling it from I see a man. He's
got a shorts, he's got a shirt on, he's got
like a big strap on his back, and I'm like, what's.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Going on there?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And he's got a little bucket hat on and he's
just chilling at a stop sign. Maybe he stopped to
kind of look at the watch before he gets walking again.
Oh it's too hot, fraud act. And as I roll up,
you know what the strap was about a five month
old baby in the front.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Ain't nobody getting time for that?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Ninety eight degrees. He had the nerve to have the
bucket head on, but didn't have a half.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Of the baby. Lord, ain't nobody getting tame. Ain't nobody
got time for that in this heat wave? Brother?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
And I thought to myself, he for man, Maybe this
is his first dad, you know, he don't know. He's
trying to do ride, get out walk. It's what they
always do. We walk around this time. Mommy's at work
kind of a thing and not realizing the heat danger
this Why is the heat advisors?

a walk. Now, what would you take your baby for
a walk? I'm telling you, I was driving my mind,

would be correct? Okay, one hundred dollars answer to rob Chie,
