Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Kyle Brandt, a native of Chicago, massive news for the Bears.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
In the future of Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
It takes a lot to have an interior lineman trade
to a losing team and all of us be.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Like, whoa yeah, and that is just that.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
First of all, the Chiefs fans, they just saw that
homes running for his life in the Super Bowl. They
couldn't protect him. Now they lose one of their best line.
But this is a Bear story. Joe Toney in regard
as one of the best overall offensive linemen the entire league.
This is Ben Johnson, This is Ryan Poles. And you
know it's funny you mentioned Caleb, and of course it
is about Caleb.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Ben Johnson is going to run the ball. Look at
the Lions offense.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The last two years they run and they had an
awesome offensive line.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I love this move it is. It feels like old
fashioned Bears. They're not done with that running game. Either.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
They're going to add I think a big name running
back in free agency or the draft. They will have
at least two guys carrying the ball. And Joe tone
you will be blocking form. It's a great day for
the Bears. We've been waiting for Bejon Robinson in Atlanta.
And it's a little unfair because let me explain myself,
and that's why I have the plus.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Jam I'm gonna put you on the spot.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
How many rushing yards you think Jon Robinson had last year?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What do you think? I appear. I don't think it's
very exciting.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I think it's like seven hundred something.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Okay, I'm glad you said that John Robinson at fourteen
hundred yards. Oh what, Sorry, that's perfect, Jamie. Sorry, I
think it was if it's possible at quiet fourteen hundred yards.
It's a team that wasn't nationally exposed very much in
the second half of the season. They kind of fell
apart and Bijon went to work a lot of carries,
(01:49):
a lot of yards, and yet I.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Still don't look us up to this potential.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
B Jon Robinson has eighteen hundred yard potential and that's
what I'm waiting for. And I look at him, it's
like we look for years. We're still looking at his
teammate Kyle Pitts, and like Pitts.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Should redefine the position. He should take over the league.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
He should be the number one player on the top
one hundred. And he's a nice player and he's working
hard at getting better. But if there's that potential there
and Jamie I could not have said it more perfectly.
I google how many yards of the beas and Robinson.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Offs yere, I'm like, what the hell is this right?
This is possibly right?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Fourteen fifty six and then another four hundred plus receiving.
He had a monster statistical year. And yet if you
don't agree, they're gonna put this out on social media.
What are you talking about? The Falcons fans It doesn't
know ball. I do, and I see him play it
and he can do even better. Bijon Plus this year,
Miles Garrett has given them eight incredible years.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Eight years.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
He's been amazing. They haven't done squat in that time.
They've accomplished really anything. He made the playoffs with Joe Flacco.
You know what's wrong with Myles?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Hold on? I second, what's wrong with them? Saying?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
All right, Miles was great, we loved him. There's a
chance that he only has another year or two left
of elite play it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Why not trade him right now?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
When the stock is this high and then just screwtch
go full on rebuild.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Is that what's wrong with them? I like Max doing it.
I like Max picking up for the Raiders because I
like on the Raiders. I don't see Rogers going to
the Raiders. Looks, haven't we seen this movie before?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You go to an AFC team that has struggled for
a long time to find a quarterback who's hungry, who
has some nice weapons, and they have some money to spend.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We just saw this two years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
The Raiders have a lot of the same stink on
them that the Jets have had.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
This is not some perennial winner. This is not a
team that is in the playoffs every year. It's Roger.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
If you're Rogers, you're not going for one final season
twenty one so you can go six and eleven to
get your head.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Kicked in as a Raider at the end of the season.
That's not what it's about.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And that's why personally, I think Rodgers is really interested
in the Rams because Rams are the opt right.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Rams are going places. Never mind the LA thing.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Just the Rams are very good, and they're good every
single year.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Not to mention you think Rogers wants to jump into
the AFC.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
West and like go against Mahomes and lose to him
and all the things they have gone. I just it
doesn't seem like if you're planning like one final like
sweetheart year at the end of a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This sounds terrible. I really do think it does.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Not to mention, and I said this before, and I'm
trying to be a diplomatic here, I don't think Aaron
Rodgers and Tom Brady are best friends, and I don't
think they hate each other. I just don't think that
they're boys. That's my intuition, and that's a little bit
of my insight that I know for a fact not
only not best friends. Rogers is not Darnold, he is
a god. He is a legend. Brady is a god.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
He's a legend.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
There's egos involved, there's legacies involved, and there's things involved
where I don't know if Aaron Rodgers wants to be
Tom Brady's little project as a new owner. There's something
going on there big picture that I don't think would
go well for number eight in the Jets right there,
number twelve for the Raiders. There's everything about it that
to not like a couple things to like, Sure we
(04:46):
love Pete Carroll, who knows if that'll work.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Sure we love some of the talent I can't ever see.
You're in Rogers Corner.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You're like, you know, you should do Man for your
last year. Let's go to the Raiders because they're always good.
Like it sounds like like one of the worst ideas
in the history of bad ideas.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I don't like it at all.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Chris Paul was going to be traded to the Laker
years ago, and David starring the Late David was like, no, no, no, no, no,
that's what we got. We got these other teams that
are trying to win too. If you just if you
like if you were in the NFC East, or you're
a quarterback and you wake up in the morning and
you see en rap.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Sheet, like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeh, you're telling me Miles Garrett on the Eagles, Now,
how is the yeah, yeah, sweat and all those guys.
I'm with you a lot on this.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Cody is that. I think it's funny. I'm listening to
rap sheet and he's saying, I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Told that the Eagles we reward our best players. Was
a sound bite. And that's like the Eagles are just
putting that out there. They're like on a mega mo. Yeah,
we reward our best players like that is smart, smart
business to let everyone know we pay our guys. Understand
that if you were to come here and you do
great things, we'll pay you and your team won't.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And you know it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Howie Roseman had a hell of a SoundBite. You guys
probably saw it. And I think he was talking to
Todd McShay and he was talking about winning his first
super Bowl winning his.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Second super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I'm gonna like slip a disc trying to clean this up.
So he basically said some morning. So I'm not going
to say what he said, but the GM of the
Eagle said, when you win your super Bowl, it's like
your first time and you're just happy to be there.
It's incredible, I did it. But when you win your
second one, you're like, wow, it's much more enjoyable.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All right, everybody catch my drift tomorrow. You look totally lost. Yeah,
first time.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I just think though that like after the second time,
someone might be like, whatever, this is easy now.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Not him. How He's like, no, I'm going to get
right to work on the third time. You see what
I'm saying. That's smart. And by the way, how are
you dog? I have no idea where that came from.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
The second he could be sitting here right now smoking cigars,
kind of mailing in the combine.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
How is it made? Guy's got two Super Bowl rings,
everybody loves him, got a huge roster.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I love that he's like, not enough, not enough, get more.
Pay this guy.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's an incredible way to approach things.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I think a lot of people take a psychological victory lap,
and that's why you don't see a lot of back
to back champions.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
They're getting ready to work on this. But here's what's farce.
These people are like Saquon and the Eagles. They're changing
the running back industry. They're back. Everyone's gonna get paid. No,
they're not.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
If you have Saquon, you get paid. As long as
you run for two thousand yards and win the Super Bowl,
you'll get paid. And I think exhibit A is in
the AFC East and James Cook with the Buffalo Bills,
who is sitting there and being like, hello, hello, Sos.
I'm a homegrown guy that you drafted. I've been here
three years. I made two Pro Bowls. He's on Twitter.
Everything it is an emoji, everything is hello this. This
(07:27):
is the second best player on their team. I think
by the end of that season, behind out he was amazing.
And it's like, if you don't pay James Cook, who
are you gonna pay when he's done everything perfectly right.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
He's your guy, You found him, you raised him.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Now and they won't do it, or maybe they I
won't do it yet. But don't assume because Saquon got
paid that this flimsy storyline of running backs are back
and now they're gonna all get paid again. If you're Saquan,
you'll get paid. But apparently for James Cook, who tied
for the NFL leading touchdowns, and that's a crazy play
right there.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
That's him trying to get to the ATM. And then
there's inteful pass. How can I take about sixty bucks? No,
thirty one? It's like that's him reaching for the.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Money and it's just getting away from him. It's not
most intimidating player, it's most intimidating figure. And it's this
guy right here, Jeff Stoutland Stoutland University Eagles.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
O line coach.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Because when that guy at Matt scientist lines his guys up.
He's like, listen, if I want to, I could run quarterbacks,
sneak on first and ten.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
We can do it thirty times in a row.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You won't stop it, you know, you know in Timidy
and I am that my greatest creation.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
For my alignment.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I'm gonna lose the Hall of Fame center sitting right there.
I'm still gonna do it the next year. And my
invention and my musculature is so intimidating that when Kyle's
away in vacation last week, there's this big news story
that someone wants to ban the tush push because they're
too cowardly.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
To be able to stop.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm on vacation last week and I'm reading that story
about banned the tush push and I'm throwing my phone.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I'm so mad about it.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It is so soft, it is so beta, it is
so weak to do that. It strikes me as you're
playing your friend and Matt and you found the plate.
They can't stop either cross flats or weak flood or angle,
and he's just stop promning that, stop pruning, that, stop it,
stop it. Then I finally he just pulls his controller
out and turns the power off because they can't stop it.
I hate that whole story about stopping it. Soft weak
(09:10):
cowards everything. They invented something that you can't stop that's
perfectly legal. Don't tell me it's dangerous. I've heard Kelsey
talk about it himself. A conventional run play up the
middle is more dangerous than that.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Don't tell me it's not football. I remember Princeton Rutgers
two hundred years ago. Is we push you push?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
It's the very essence of how this game was invented.
Don't ever ban it. And I hope they run it
fifty times down somebody's throat.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And maybe I hope it's the Packers. I love it.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Jeff Stotlin, keep doing that thing, just dunking on them.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I hate that story.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Can I interest you in the Bosa brothers being in
the Bay Area?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
What are your thoughts on that? When he and Rappaport
said that.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It just reminded me of the Paul brothers finally being
in the ring together. Like it's just it's fine, it's
absolutely perfect. Honestly, it's really really cool. Above and beyond
obviously just the fact that they're brothers and we would
all freak out about it. I mean, Joey Bosa, this
is hugely significant that this happened.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Joey Bosa is one of the greatest Chargers ever. I mean,
he is a.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Fantastic, fantastic player, and if San Francisco were to somehow
add him, it amounts to so much more than just
a novelty of two brothers.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's an unbelievable pass rush, and we were at this
place as a show.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I think with San Francisco about I don't know, where
are you guys right now?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
It's a little strange. What is the plan? Are you
just going to be one of these midlean teams next year?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You never look at San Francisco like that. They're too
well coached. They have too many good players, So you
pay attention when a player that good goes to a
team that has had that much success. The Chargers had
to do it for money, and Harbaugh has a whole
thing he's doing there. I get it, it's fine. I'm
much more intrigued about where he lands because we showed
Khalil Mack there. Think about what Khalil Mack has done
in his second and third stop. Sometimes these pass rushers
(10:44):
land somewhere and just take off. Plus, Like Frankly, it'd
be absolutely incredible to have Jay Bosa and En Bosa
on the same team on the same pass rules. So
it's an exciting time to be a Cowboys fan. Actually,
the expectations are low. There's a new coach, there's a
new future, and what are the Cowboys need to do? Guys,
I'm going to really impress you here. This is a
twenty dollar bill. This is my per diem I get
(11:06):
from the network. Okay, the Cowboys have literally millions of these.
What you want to do is you want to take them,
hand them to young athletes in exchange.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
For goods and services.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Okay, don't burn it, invest it, spend it.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
For the love of.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
God, you can't take it with you, Jerry, we know
what happened last year. They were the lowest spenders in
free agency by far. They had barely half of what
the next lowest spenders did. They just sat there and
they hoarded it all, and then they had a terrible
season and extended their streak of not even making it
to a title game. Let's look at the history though.
You think this is the year free agents, let's go.
(11:43):
Let's let me make splashes. In the last fifteen years.
Fifteen years, the Dallas Cowboys have signed one free agent
who made a Pro Bowl. That free agent was Brian Anger. Guys,
he plays punter.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Fifteen years Pro Bowl free agent punter. This is in
the now post Saquon era, in which their arch rival
just won the Super signed a free agent two thousand
and seven. Then you have to go back to Leonard
Davis as a free agent. You want to look in
for a free agent home run. He played four of
his seven contract years and he's a guard before now
you have to go to Tarry Loans and guys. That's like,
I'm just getting out of college at this point. This
(12:18):
is how long we're talking about it. As we see
these fans who just watch the damn Eagles win the
Super Bowl and the Commanders have a dream season.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Jerry, let's go.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
He has told this show that he said in his
Jerry Charms that my hand doesn't cramp.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Up when I write checks. Well, maybe we should check out.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I think maybe Jerry might need some elector lights or
like some bananas or something like that, because the hand
is cramping and if you didn't do it last year,
and you haven't signed a Pro Bowl free agent since
a punter? What are we waiting for? The Cowboys? Are
this elderly person in your life? Do you know one
who they're They're terrified to spend any money and they
don't even want to go out and buy.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
A sandwich, let alone, go on a vacation. You're like,
you've saved your whole life. We checked the finances. You're good,
You're comfortable.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
No, I just I think I should just say here
and set on my couch and watch reruns Cowboys get
out there live. The wide receiver says, I can't do
it alone, and he's right, go fight fire with fire.
And I can't believe that. To tell the Dallas Cowboys
America's team, spend some money, Go treat yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You've earned it. It will work, Give it a try.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What has you most intrigued right now? As we enter
into the wild wild West of guys that are about
to get paid and on different teams.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
The quarterbacks, I have no idea where the hell they're going.
This is going to be so fun. Buckle up. This
is not a quarterback carousel.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
This is a vomit comment like this crazy carnival ride
where people are puke and funnel cakes on the side.
I don't get how it's gonna happen. Here's why I
look at this this draft. It doesn't have a ton
of great quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I look at that as fun.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's gonna be wild because of the scarcity and because
of the desperation.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's like people showing up in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
To buy cabbage pass because with baseball bat so they
get hit other people trying to take them. You need
to get your quarterback, and there aren't that many. This
saint the twenty twenty four draft. Just go with me
through the first seven picks of the draft. Tennessee needs one,
Cleveland needs one, The Giants need one, the Pats and
Jags don't.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
The Raiders need one, the Jets need one.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I have five teams in the top seven who I
think need a franchise quarterback. So the way it's supposed
to work, and this is such perversely disgusting for me,
but you're supposed to get a quarterback if you have
a crappy season. You sucked, you got destroyed, the fans
got mad, people got fired. But it's okay because you're
gonna get a franchise quarterback, and if you show up
last year, take your pick. Take Jaden, take Caleb, take Drake,
(14:37):
take two of them if you want.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We have so many. We got some in the back
for you. Now it's like, all right, cam Ward's gonna
go early. He's gone. Let's say Schadur jumps up and
goes early. That's two. I just said, there's five teams
that need quarterbacks. So then you go, all right. Free agents,
I'm not crazy about Sam Donald.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I don't want all right. So if you know not, like,
do you want Russell Wilson? Do you want to go
into Aaron Rodgers? Do you want James? Do you want
any of them? You have to pick one.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
No, there's no either from the draft or free agency.
You can't say nobody.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Those are going to be starting quarterbacks next year. It
is so different from last year. And I think it's
gonna be volatile, aggressive. There's gonna be some backstabbing. People
need their quarterbacks. It's like depriving them of water. If
you deprive people of water, it's gonna get nuts.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And here we are.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
It is not a carousel, it's a vomit commet and
we're sub fifty days free agency frenzy.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I call it Jamie. This friends is gonna be insane.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
People are gonna get hurt feelings, maybe hurt eye sockets.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It's gonna be punches thrown. Get Ready.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Kyle Brandt, a native of Chicago, massive news for the Bears.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
In the future of Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
It takes a lot to have an interior lineman trade
to a losing team and all of us be.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Like, whoa yeah, and that is just that.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
First of all, the Chiefs fans, they just saw that
homes running for his life in the Super Bowl. They
couldn't protect him. Now they lose one of their best line.
But this is a Bear story. Joe Toney in regard
as one of the best overall offensive linemen the entire league.
This is Ben Johnson, This is Ryan Poles. And you
know it's funny you mentioned Caleb, and of course it
is about Caleb.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Ben Johnson is going to run the ball. Look at
the Lions offense.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The last two years they run and they had an
awesome offensive line.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I love this move it is. It feels like old
fashioned Bears. They're not done with that running game. Either.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
They're going to add I think a big name running
back in free agency or the draft. They will have
at least two guys carrying the ball. And Joe tone
you will be blocking form. It's a great day for
the Bears. We've been waiting for Bejon Robinson in Atlanta.
And it's a little unfair because let me explain myself,
and that's why I have the plus.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Jam I'm gonna put you on the spot.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
How many rushing yards you think Jon Robinson had last year?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What do you think? I appear. I don't think it's
very exciting.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I think it's like seven hundred something.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Okay, I'm glad you said that John Robinson at fourteen
hundred yards. Oh what, Sorry, that's perfect, Jamie. Sorry, I
think it was if it's possible at quiet fourteen hundred yards.
It's a team that wasn't nationally exposed very much in
the second half of the season. They kind of fell
apart and Bijon went to work a lot of carries,
(01:49):
a lot of yards, and yet I.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Still don't look us up to this potential.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
B Jon Robinson has eighteen hundred yard potential and that's
what I'm waiting for. And I look at him, it's
like we look for years. We're still looking at his
teammate Kyle Pitts, and like Pitts.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Should redefine the position. He should take over the league.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
He should be the number one player on the top
one hundred. And he's a nice player and he's working
hard at getting better. But if there's that potential there
and Jamie I could not have said it more perfectly.
I google how many yards of the beas and Robinson.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Offs yere, I'm like, what the hell is this right?
This is possibly right?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Fourteen fifty six and then another four hundred plus receiving.
He had a monster statistical year. And yet if you
don't agree, they're gonna put this out on social media.
What are you talking about? The Falcons fans It doesn't
know ball. I do, and I see him play it
and he can do even better. Bijon Plus this year,
Miles Garrett has given them eight incredible years.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Eight years.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
He's been amazing. They haven't done squat in that time.
They've accomplished really anything. He made the playoffs with Joe Flacco.
You know what's wrong with Myles?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Hold on? I second, what's wrong with them? Saying?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
All right, Miles was great, we loved him. There's a
chance that he only has another year or two left
of elite play it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Why not trade him right now?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
When the stock is this high and then just screwtch
go full on rebuild.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Is that what's wrong with them? I like Max doing it.
I like Max picking up for the Raiders because I
like on the Raiders. I don't see Rogers going to
the Raiders. Looks, haven't we seen this movie before?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You go to an AFC team that has struggled for
a long time to find a quarterback who's hungry, who
has some nice weapons, and they have some money to spend.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We just saw this two years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
The Raiders have a lot of the same stink on
them that the Jets have had.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
This is not some perennial winner. This is not a
team that is in the playoffs every year. It's Roger.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
If you're Rogers, you're not going for one final season
twenty one so you can go six and eleven to
get your head.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Kicked in as a Raider at the end of the season.
That's not what it's about.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And that's why personally, I think Rodgers is really interested
in the Rams because Rams are the opt right.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Rams are going places. Never mind the LA thing.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Just the Rams are very good, and they're good every
single year.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Not to mention you think Rogers wants to jump into
the AFC.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
West and like go against Mahomes and lose to him
and all the things they have gone. I just it
doesn't seem like if you're planning like one final like
sweetheart year at the end of a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This sounds terrible. I really do think it does.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Not to mention, and I said this before, and I'm
trying to be a diplomatic here, I don't think Aaron
Rodgers and Tom Brady are best friends, and I don't
think they hate each other. I just don't think that
they're boys. That's my intuition, and that's a little bit
of my insight that I know for a fact not
only not best friends. Rogers is not Darnold, he is
a god. He is a legend. Brady is a god.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
He's a legend.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
There's egos involved, there's legacies involved, and there's things involved
where I don't know if Aaron Rodgers wants to be
Tom Brady's little project as a new owner. There's something
going on there big picture that I don't think would
go well for number eight in the Jets right there,
number twelve for the Raiders. There's everything about it that
to not like a couple things to like, Sure we
(04:46):
love Pete Carroll, who knows if that'll work.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Sure we love some of the talent I can't ever see.
You're in Rogers Corner.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You're like, you know, you should do Man for your
last year. Let's go to the Raiders because they're always good.
Like it sounds like like one of the worst ideas
in the history of bad ideas.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I don't like it at all.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Chris Paul was going to be traded to the Laker
years ago, and David starring the Late David was like, no, no, no, no, no,
that's what we got. We got these other teams that
are trying to win too. If you just if you
like if you were in the NFC East, or you're
a quarterback and you wake up in the morning and
you see en rap.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Sheet, like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeh, you're telling me Miles Garrett on the Eagles, Now,
how is the yeah, yeah, sweat and all those guys.
I'm with you a lot on this.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Cody is that. I think it's funny. I'm listening to
rap sheet and he's saying, I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Told that the Eagles we reward our best players. Was
a sound bite. And that's like the Eagles are just
putting that out there. They're like on a mega mo. Yeah,
we reward our best players like that is smart, smart
business to let everyone know we pay our guys. Understand
that if you were to come here and you do
great things, we'll pay you and your team won't.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And you know it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Howie Roseman had a hell of a SoundBite. You guys
probably saw it. And I think he was talking to
Todd McShay and he was talking about winning his first
super Bowl winning his.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Second super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I'm gonna like slip a disc trying to clean this up.
So he basically said some morning. So I'm not going
to say what he said, but the GM of the
Eagle said, when you win your super Bowl, it's like
your first time and you're just happy to be there.
It's incredible, I did it. But when you win your
second one, you're like, wow, it's much more enjoyable.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All right, everybody catch my drift tomorrow. You look totally lost. Yeah,
first time.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I just think though that like after the second time,
someone might be like, whatever, this is easy now.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Not him. How He's like, no, I'm going to get
right to work on the third time. You see what
I'm saying. That's smart. And by the way, how are
you dog? I have no idea where that came from.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
The second he could be sitting here right now smoking cigars,
kind of mailing in the combine.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
How is it made? Guy's got two Super Bowl rings,
everybody loves him, got a huge roster.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I love that he's like, not enough, not enough, get more.
Pay this guy.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's an incredible way to approach things.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I think a lot of people take a psychological victory lap,
and that's why you don't see a lot of back
to back champions.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
They're getting ready to work on this. But here's what's farce.
These people are like Saquon and the Eagles. They're changing
the running back industry. They're back. Everyone's gonna get paid. No,
they're not.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
If you have Saquon, you get paid. As long as
you run for two thousand yards and win the Super Bowl,
you'll get paid. And I think exhibit A is in
the AFC East and James Cook with the Buffalo Bills,
who is sitting there and being like, hello, hello, Sos.
I'm a homegrown guy that you drafted. I've been here
three years. I made two Pro Bowls. He's on Twitter.
Everything it is an emoji, everything is hello this. This
(07:27):
is the second best player on their team. I think
by the end of that season, behind out he was amazing.
And it's like, if you don't pay James Cook, who
are you gonna pay when he's done everything perfectly right.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
He's your guy, You found him, you raised him.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Now and they won't do it, or maybe they I
won't do it yet. But don't assume because Saquon got
paid that this flimsy storyline of running backs are back
and now they're gonna all get paid again. If you're Saquan,
you'll get paid. But apparently for James Cook, who tied
for the NFL leading touchdowns, and that's a crazy play
right there.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
That's him trying to get to the ATM. And then
there's inteful pass. How can I take about sixty bucks? No,
thirty one? It's like that's him reaching for the.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Money and it's just getting away from him. It's not
most intimidating player, it's most intimidating figure. And it's this
guy right here, Jeff Stoutland Stoutland University Eagles.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
O line coach.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Because when that guy at Matt scientist lines his guys up.
He's like, listen, if I want to, I could run quarterbacks,
sneak on first and ten.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
We can do it thirty times in a row.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You won't stop it, you know, you know in Timidy
and I am that my greatest creation.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
For my alignment.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I'm gonna lose the Hall of Fame center sitting right there.
I'm still gonna do it the next year. And my
invention and my musculature is so intimidating that when Kyle's
away in vacation last week, there's this big news story
that someone wants to ban the tush push because they're
too cowardly.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
To be able to stop.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm on vacation last week and I'm reading that story
about banned the tush push and I'm throwing my phone.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I'm so mad about it.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It is so soft, it is so beta, it is
so weak to do that. It strikes me as you're
playing your friend and Matt and you found the plate.
They can't stop either cross flats or weak flood or angle,
and he's just stop promning that, stop pruning, that, stop it,
stop it. Then I finally he just pulls his controller
out and turns the power off because they can't stop it.
I hate that whole story about stopping it. Soft weak
(09:10):
cowards everything. They invented something that you can't stop that's
perfectly legal. Don't tell me it's dangerous. I've heard Kelsey
talk about it himself. A conventional run play up the
middle is more dangerous than that.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Don't tell me it's not football. I remember Princeton Rutgers
two hundred years ago. Is we push you push?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
It's the very essence of how this game was invented.
Don't ever ban it. And I hope they run it
fifty times down somebody's throat.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And maybe I hope it's the Packers. I love it.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Jeff Stotlin, keep doing that thing, just dunking on them.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I hate that story.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Can I interest you in the Bosa brothers being in
the Bay Area?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
What are your thoughts on that? When he and Rappaport
said that.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It just reminded me of the Paul brothers finally being
in the ring together. Like it's just it's fine, it's
absolutely perfect. Honestly, it's really really cool. Above and beyond
obviously just the fact that they're brothers and we would
all freak out about it. I mean, Joey Bosa, this
is hugely significant that this happened.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Joey Bosa is one of the greatest Chargers ever. I mean,
he is a.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Fantastic, fantastic player, and if San Francisco were to somehow
add him, it amounts to so much more than just
a novelty of two brothers.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's an unbelievable pass rush, and we were at this
place as a show.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I think with San Francisco about I don't know, where
are you guys right now?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
It's a little strange. What is the plan? Are you
just going to be one of these midlean teams next year?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You never look at San Francisco like that. They're too
well coached. They have too many good players, So you
pay attention when a player that good goes to a
team that has had that much success. The Chargers had
to do it for money, and Harbaugh has a whole
thing he's doing there. I get it, it's fine. I'm
much more intrigued about where he lands because we showed
Khalil Mack there. Think about what Khalil Mack has done
in his second and third stop. Sometimes these pass rushers
(10:44):
land somewhere and just take off. Plus, Like Frankly, it'd
be absolutely incredible to have Jay Bosa and En Bosa
on the same team on the same pass rules. So
it's an exciting time to be a Cowboys fan. Actually,
the expectations are low. There's a new coach, there's a
new future, and what are the Cowboys need to do? Guys,
I'm going to really impress you here. This is a
twenty dollar bill. This is my per diem I get
(11:06):
from the network. Okay, the Cowboys have literally millions of these.
What you want to do is you want to take them,
hand them to young athletes in exchange.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
For goods and services.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Okay, don't burn it, invest it, spend it.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
For the love of.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
God, you can't take it with you, Jerry, we know
what happened last year. They were the lowest spenders in
free agency by far. They had barely half of what
the next lowest spenders did. They just sat there and
they hoarded it all, and then they had a terrible
season and extended their streak of not even making it
to a title game. Let's look at the history though.
You think this is the year free agents, let's go.
(11:43):
Let's let me make splashes. In the last fifteen years.
Fifteen years, the Dallas Cowboys have signed one free agent
who made a Pro Bowl. That free agent was Brian Anger. Guys,
he plays punter.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Fifteen years Pro Bowl free agent punter. This is in
the now post Saquon era, in which their arch rival
just won the Super signed a free agent two thousand
and seven. Then you have to go back to Leonard
Davis as a free agent. You want to look in
for a free agent home run. He played four of
his seven contract years and he's a guard before now
you have to go to Tarry Loans and guys. That's like,
I'm just getting out of college at this point. This
(12:18):
is how long we're talking about it. As we see
these fans who just watch the damn Eagles win the
Super Bowl and the Commanders have a dream season.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Jerry, let's go.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
He has told this show that he said in his
Jerry Charms that my hand doesn't cramp.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Up when I write checks. Well, maybe we should check out.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I think maybe Jerry might need some elector lights or
like some bananas or something like that, because the hand
is cramping and if you didn't do it last year,
and you haven't signed a Pro Bowl free agent since
a punter? What are we waiting for? The Cowboys? Are
this elderly person in your life? Do you know one
who they're They're terrified to spend any money and they
don't even want to go out and buy.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
A sandwich, let alone, go on a vacation. You're like,
you've saved your whole life. We checked the finances. You're good,
You're comfortable.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
No, I just I think I should just say here
and set on my couch and watch reruns Cowboys get
out there live. The wide receiver says, I can't do
it alone, and he's right, go fight fire with fire.
And I can't believe that. To tell the Dallas Cowboys
America's team, spend some money, Go treat yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You've earned it. It will work, Give it a try.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What has you most intrigued right now? As we enter
into the wild wild West of guys that are about
to get paid and on different teams.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
The quarterbacks, I have no idea where the hell they're going.
This is going to be so fun. Buckle up. This
is not a quarterback carousel.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
This is a vomit comment like this crazy carnival ride
where people are puke and funnel cakes on the side.
I don't get how it's gonna happen. Here's why I
look at this this draft. It doesn't have a ton
of great quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I look at that as fun.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's gonna be wild because of the scarcity and because
of the desperation.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's like people showing up in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
To buy cabbage pass because with baseball bat so they
get hit other people trying to take them. You need
to get your quarterback, and there aren't that many. This
saint the twenty twenty four draft. Just go with me
through the first seven picks of the draft. Tennessee needs one,
Cleveland needs one, The Giants need one, the Pats and
Jags don't.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
The Raiders need one, the Jets need one.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I have five teams in the top seven who I
think need a franchise quarterback. So the way it's supposed
to work, and this is such perversely disgusting for me,
but you're supposed to get a quarterback if you have
a crappy season. You sucked, you got destroyed, the fans
got mad, people got fired. But it's okay because you're
gonna get a franchise quarterback, and if you show up
last year, take your pick. Take Jaden, take Caleb, take Drake,
(14:37):
take two of them if you want.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We have so many. We got some in the back
for you. Now it's like, all right, cam Ward's gonna
go early. He's gone. Let's say Schadur jumps up and
goes early. That's two. I just said, there's five teams
that need quarterbacks. So then you go, all right. Free agents,
I'm not crazy about Sam Donald.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I don't want all right. So if you know not, like,
do you want Russell Wilson? Do you want to go
into Aaron Rodgers? Do you want James? Do you want
any of them? You have to pick one.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
No, there's no either from the draft or free agency.
You can't say nobody.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Those are going to be starting quarterbacks next year. It
is so different from last year. And I think it's
gonna be volatile, aggressive. There's gonna be some backstabbing. People
need their quarterbacks. It's like depriving them of water. If
you deprive people of water, it's gonna get nuts.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And here we are.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
It is not a carousel, it's a vomit commet and
we're sub fifty days free agency frenzy.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I call it Jamie. This friends is gonna be insane.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
People are gonna get hurt feelings, maybe hurt eye sockets.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It's gonna be punches thrown. Get Ready.
