Let's get this.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Welcome in, everybody, This is the Odd Couple.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Kelvin Washington and Rob Parker are out for the second
straight day.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Ritoris he from Salamrio, Wow Ethic pick. Rob's at n ABJ.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah, they're the National Black Journalist Convention. I happen to
be black and I wasn't in, so I don't know
what's going on there as a black person's working right now.
I guess well, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I was gonna say, whatever they're doing, I'm pretty sure
the beverages are probably flowing at this point seven o'clock
Eastern time. But great to be back with you. E
from Listen Man. We could beat around the bush, we
could play a bunch of games, but I mean, the
story of the night is literally right in front of
our face here. You know, it's funny, right, because we
(01:28):
talk about the death of the preseason starters don't play well.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We got a narrative, we got a storyline.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Today we are minutes away from kickoff, Carolina Panthers hosting
the Cleveland Browns, maybe the most famous fifth route.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Pick history of the NFL.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I'll say this and actually listen the draft slide in
and of itself. It was wild. It was surreal to
watch in real time. Didn't hate the landing spot of
the Browns. And then to take it a step further,
Ephrom you know you wanted your shot. Dylan Gabriel's banged up,
Kenny Picketts banged up. You're obviously not going to play
(02:09):
a forty year old Joe Flacco in the preseason. Shador Sanders,
you got a chance to put something on tape tonight,
flor is yours e from What do you expect to see?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
What do you hope to see tonight?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
This is when all of the draft, all of the
be legendary, all of the nonsense goes away, the speeding tickets,
to miscourt date ball, all of that up. Put it
at the bottom of your locker, shut your locker, put
your uniform on, and come play you can erase all
of those things by going out and doing what you
(02:40):
do best, competing playing football at the highest level at
the quarterback position. Leadership get the snap, write reads. All
of the negative things that have been surrounding this young
man all go away, and as an athlete, as a
(03:02):
professional athlete, all you ever want is a chance. So
many times, late round draft picks don't get a chance
because teams feel beholden to earlier picks at least first
through the third round of their going to play, because
we've invested more money in them, and so you don't
(03:23):
actually get an opportunity to play. And I always equate
it to my rookie year. I'm a seventh round left
tackle out of San Diego State. I get the training camp,
but it's three guys in front of me at left tackle,
So I'm kind of like a fourth string left tackle,
third string right tackle, and I'm just trying to consume
(03:46):
the playbook and learn as much as I can give
effort in practice. After the second preseason game, somebody got
hurt out Our starting right tackle at the time, Corey Luci,
got hurt, and they moved me over to second string
right tackle, and it allowed me to now get more
reps and play more minutes in the preseason game. And
(04:09):
it worked. And it came down to the final preseason
game where Corey started. I played the second quarter, he
the third, either fourth, and whoever played the best. According
to Artshell, my old line coach, that too be starting
next week opening day. As an athlete, it did. It
didn't matter where I was drafted. I didn't care. All
(04:30):
I said is, oh, I hit a fair opportunity to
go out here and prove that I belong and I
can play. That's all you want as an athlete, because
what you don't want is to go out there play
better than someone and they still don't let you play
because of politics or whatever else is happening.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I've been in that situation as well.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So for Shadur, all he has to do is go
out there and be who he is to his core,
lead the team. And remember Cleveland does not have a
quarterback six on the roster, No quarterback who's going to
step up and take lead at that position. Now, Joe
(05:11):
Flacco may never play in the preseason. He's a thousand.
They know what Joe Flacco is, they know who he is.
Two years ago he let him to the playoffs, so
he's presumably the starter. But if Shadura goes out here
and burns the field down, now the second preseason game
becomes interesting because if he stacks two preseason games and
(05:36):
looks tremendous, the offense is clicking. Now the conversation going
into that last preseason week changes. What you want to
do as a player is change the conversation upstairs. Especially
a late round draft pick. You want to have them
looking at you like, huh, we have to make a decision.
(05:58):
Whenever you're there, You've you've done what you're supposed to do.
And he has that opportunity. I'm pulling for him.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's so interesting.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, obviously knowing you a little bit, I just
know you as the dude that played in the league
for thirteen years won.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So your whole career, your whole trajectory of your life
kind of changed in that two to three week training
That was it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, my career started in training camp.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Everything that I became in the NFL was that rookie year.
That's how important it is, whether your first round draft
pick or a seventh round draft pick, that year is
important because it makes people in the organization look at
you either in a negative or a positive way, and
(06:44):
I was hyper focused on this is why I got
my break. Artchell would call us up, the young guys
in the old line room and call us up to
the board. He'd call a playout and you'd have to
draw the play up and then you know, fill it out.
(07:05):
I not only did the offensive lineman, I did everybody.
He called a pass play, I'm doing routes, I'm doing everything.
So it was looking like, Wow, did about five plays
like that. I moved up the depth chart in that
moment in the classroom, not even on the field.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Wow wow. Ys graduated sixteen sixty years high school. I
did some some some.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
People excel out on the field, but the trust level
isn't there with the coaches. If I know what I'm
supposed to do, now I can just go play. If
I'm worried about a snapcount or do I go that direction,
I won't be able to maximize my abilities. And that's
what they saw in me, or saw that in me
and gave me an opportunity to prove not only to
(07:48):
myself but to the world that I belong and started
ten years straight after that.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Well, Shador Sanders has officially stepped on the field as
the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns and their opener.
It's funny their to the crowd right now, Chador Brown's
jersey in one shot, a Colorado Buffalo's T shirt in
the next. Realistically, let me ask you this, you know,
because I do think for all of the stuff from
(08:14):
around the draft, like it's it's forgotten how good he
was as a college quarterback seventy four percent completion percentage
last year, thirty seven.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Like I you know, I hate to.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Say this in this way and I feel bad saying it,
but I've said this on my show.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I feel like people treat him like Bronni and I
hate to say it. Yeah, but it's the truth. Like, yeah,
we all.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Know why Bronni is in him, yeah, and Chador is not.
That he was very productive in four years as a
starter college two at Jackson State, two at Colorado. You know,
are there things for him to work on? Of course,
did he take too many sacks?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Are some of them on him? Absolutely? But this notion that,
like you know, he somehow was not worthy of being
drafted or the opportunity to play in the NFL. That
just doesn't jive with what I saw for those twelve
thirteen saturdays last year at Colorado. Just let me ask
you big picture and again understanding that Joe Flacco's the
(09:16):
guy that whatever, what do you expect from tonight? But
more importantly, maybe the next few weeks as we kind
of ramp up training camp, they figure out the roster situation,
and then you know the rest, you know, we'll see
how well.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I just think we're going to see a football player
in March. There is a lot from the end of
your college career to your first preseason game. A lot
goes on. Yeah, working out, sometimes, you play in the Bowls,
the Senior Bowls or whatever. You have training, you pick
(09:53):
an agent, you buy some stuff, right, you go through
the whole, but the combine the whole. There's a lot
going on, and relatively a three month period, sure you
look at it, we never just break it down like that,
but in three months, your whole world changes, and.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
So it's a lot to deal with.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
You're just like, oh, this and that, and so you
get to a point where you're kind of in a
tailspind like your head.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Is all over the place. You're trying to figure things out.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You get drafted, you go into mini camp OTA's and
then when training camp starts, the world slows down completely.
It literally stops, because now everything is scheduled, regimented, there
is no uncertainty every day.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
This is what's happening. This is where you're going.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
You got meetings eight am waits, training room, practice, nap,
lunch meetings, practice, dinner meetings, and so as the world
slows down, you can now hone in and focus on
that thing that got you here, the thing that you
(11:07):
do so well. And I'm looking forward to seeing that,
and you'll do in all of the young players.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
First series, by the way, a three and out run play.
On play one, play two, Shadoor hits a receiver in
the hands and it's dropped. Play three, it was about
a third and eight and he hits a receiver about
a yard short of the first down stick. So it's
a punt. And now the Carolina Panthers ball. We will
not be doing play by play of a you know,
of a preseason Browns Panthers game, but do think it's
(11:35):
noteworthy obviously because of who's starting with the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Tell you what what we can do, we can open
up the phone.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It's a funky flashback Friday here on Fox Sports Radios
The Odd Couple. We want to hear from you, just
expectations for Shador. Do you believe he's going to live

Diehard saints, fan AND i was hoping that we picked
him with our first, pick with our first pick in
the first, round and we missed out on. Him, okay
we got him in the second. Round we didn't get.
(15:36):
HIM i was. CONFUSED i, mean from WHAT i, saw
he's a good. QUARTERBACK i, mean of course he's. Young
he has to learn to be a quarterback in THE.
Nfl and the brother that's sitting with, you he's a,
pro so he knows there's a transition. Period BUT i
believe that guy is going to be a great quarterback
in THE.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Nfl, Well, PHIL i got some real news for.

again kind of a throw on the run on second
and twelve over.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Three i've gotta make that throw wide open receiver at
two on two. Levels you have to be able to
find the touch to make. That so now it's not
a third and, twelve it's a third and two, Right
and so those are the things that if Should door
wants to take this, over you have to be able
(16:47):

(17:15):
odd Couple Fox Sports radio Aertors e From salaam in
For Robin.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Kellvin how you doing, Today? Drew this guys.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
Only get real quick right into. It WHAT i think,
IS i think he has a chance to be an
okay back, up maybe maybe a possible plug and. Starter
but let's just be, honest and this is the. Truth
most of the media does not actually watch college. Football
so when you when you're looking in because, Hey Deion
(17:43):
sanders coaching and you're watching A big twelve, game every
single quarterback in The big twelve does what put up?
Numbers let's go back who was The big calf player
of the year last, Year Dylan gabriel prior to. Him
let's look At Bryce petty in twenty. Fourteen look's to
look At Crayvon. Boykin and let's look At Max duggan
who took a team to the to the. Championship he
(18:05):
also ran like a four or five at his combine
and he was like third in The heisman and he
went to seventh. Round, DREW i appreciate.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The, call but my question would, be Dinnt Patrick mahomes
play in The big twelve AM i he put up
stats in The big.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Twelve didn't probably, did but now many many other ones.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Didn't perty played in The big. Twelve Didn't Baker mayfield
start his career in The big? Twelve actually still played
his whole career in The big. Twelve Didn'tkyler murray play?
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Well to look at, it if you look at it
prior To. Baker that was the one big knock About
baker going to that. Draft he, played he played in
The big, twelve and they were a pillow. Conference and
then what happened and what happened when they went from
The tack twelve to The pack to The big. Twelve
most of the good teams left The Big. Twelve they
went into THE. Sec he also was thirteen and twelve
(18:51):
in two.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Years he also went like twenty two and two in
two years At Jackson.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
STATE i always think that's the.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Funny Person state.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Though but you. Can't you can't just throw out games
as a.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
Starter but he had A, heisman but he Was he's
A division one high level athlete At Jackson. State he
also had The heisman winner that he's throwing.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Too so this is not like.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
He's not overcoming a.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Lot you can he's not overcoming a. Lot he was
the most sacked quarterback in college football last. Year he
also elevated a team that was one and eleven the
year before he got there to nine and four two years. Later,
drew we appreciate the. CALL i, mean if you want
to argue he's not going to be, good that's. Fine
(19:38):
with respect To, DREW i think those are literally two
of the worst arguments That i've.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Heard, oh you.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Don't want to discount an athlete's accolades and the things
that they've accomplished in. College, now, LOOK i get What
phil is trying to, say and a little bit of
it is. Right there is no real direct correlation from
your college career to how good you be in the.
Pros we've Seen heisman winners not pan. Out we've seen
(20:09):
number one picks in the draftic quarterback not pan. Out
at ed rusher at. Tackle we get. It we understand.
That But Shaduur sanders can play football. Anywhere he's played
From Pop warner to high school to. College he's been
able to, play and so can he play in the?
(20:29):
Pros can he win in the? Pros because that's what
he's accustomed to that's yet to be. Seen does he
have the tools to do? That, yes, yes he, does extremely,
accurate great. Leader can he match the speed of THE
(20:52):
nfl because everyone is. Fast he's held the ball a
couple of times. Now granted his offensive line isn't, great
which is something else we have to bring. Up are
those five guys up front going to be able to
keep him upright and safe and not under. Pressure it's
been early pressure so, far uh in this, game so
(21:15):
he's been off target and and they've pushed him off his.
Spot so you, know there's a lot to be, uh
to be desired in terms of are we going to
see this Great Shadua sanders. Today they're just not a good,
roster especially you, know he's not walking into a roster
(21:40):
where you, know you got guys all over the you
just throw the ball up and they're gonna get. It
there's some there's work in, progress and there's some things
that need to be, done and he's one of those
pieces that has to raise his level of.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Play, Yeah i'll just kind of put a ball on
this by, saying you, know you want to argue that
it's not going to, work that it's, fine but to
the last, Call drew and again drew no. Disrespect it's
just the big twelve quarterbacks don't work in THE. Nfl
take is like a takeout of twenty eighteen that doesn't
really apply. Anymore AND i gave four off the top
of my. Head, Kyler, Murray, Baker, Mayfield Patrick, mahomes And Brock.
(22:15):
PURDY i Think perdy And mahomes actually have very similar
setups of they didn't have a ton OF nfl talent around.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Them so we'll see what.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Happens Shadoor sanders and The Cleveland browns are playing The Carolina.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
This, year you FROM i thought this was, interesting he.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Said the next phase Is we're going to win, differently
but we're going to win. BIG i don't know if
it's going to Be Hail mary's at the end of the,
game but it's going to be held during the game
because we want to be physical and we want to
run the heck out of the. FOOTBALL a couple of
notes On. Colorado Jordan, seaton who was the number one
offensive tackle two years, ago is. Back started every game
(26:22):
as a freshman last, year and they did add a
couple of nice, quarterbacks both out of the transfer portal
in the high school. Ranks SO i think there's this
notion that you, Know colorado now That shadore And traviser
gone is, just you, know back to the worst roster
in college. FOOTBALL i don't think it's any work, close
but you, Know deon says he wants to win differently this.
Year BUT i just am curious more from your, perspective
(26:45):
what do you actually expect From colorado in year three
Under Dion, Sanders because obviously you lost the number two
overall pick in the, draft as well as a fifth
round quarterback in.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Store.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
See, YEAH i think the one thing we Know deon
can do is, recruit, yes and so so much so
a couple of years, ago When diane was still At Jackson,
state his friend uh And alabama great Coach Nick saban
went on a Tire, uh.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
But it's not fair and, yeah you know they've been
paying a guy At.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Jackson's papers was the exact. Quart i'm, like he's still
read the, newspaper, coach.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Right and so it's.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
It dion shows up and sits in your living room
and talks about football and what he can do for
your your your. Son you're, listening the kid is. Listening there's,
ah it's like our forming as the kids, say right,
there comes in and sits down in ooral for, me
(27:48):
he's sigma in the. Room, sure and SO i think
they'll be able to continue to. Compete the team wasn't
Just Travis hunter And shadour. Exactly they've start of this
recruiting process two years ago and those young guys are
now coming into their own and they're adding more and
(28:08):
they're building a. Program dion said he didn't want to
go to the pros and he wanted to build a,
program and that's exactly what they're doing In. Colorado he's
got an. EXTENSION i was making a ton of money
he rolls the economy and In, boulder right, like so
he means so much. There And dion is just going
to continue to, coach whether his son or whoever it.
(28:29):
Is and, look he's a he's a good college football,
coach no. Doubt that's exactly what you. Want and this
notion That dion is going to show up every at
every schedure, game and, hey there's going to be a separation.
Here dion has a, job his son has a. Job
(28:52):
they're gonna be on the opposite ends of the coasts
doing their.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Job now he'll check.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
In he may tweet about his, son but this notion
Of dion showing up and being on the sidelines of the,
games and that's. OVER i know this young man is
on his own journey and that's separate from his, father
And i'm excited for. Both you, Know dion's coach his
(29:22):
son his whole. Life, yep this is the first YEAR
i didn't coach my son in. Basketball, no, YEAH i
WANTED i wanted him to have another. Voice, Sure the
one THING i know is as a coach and a,
dad those lines could get. Blurred so If i'm telling
(29:45):
him to sit down on defense and. Rebound he'll look
at me Like i'm telling him to clean his room
or do. It AND i value my relationship with my
son as his father more than as his, coach and
SO i stepped back and let him have an excellent
coach and you know all of.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That and it's the same For. Diane he understands what's going.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
On, yeah two quick things on that. ONE i always
thought it was like idiotic that it was just, Like,
oh he's just gonna he's just trying to get to
THE nfl to coach his. Kids AND i was, like,
one it's easy to forget, this like he only got he.
Wasn't he only got into college coaching because he WAS
(30:27):
i think the story was he went to kind of
his agent and he was, like MAYBE i could go
To Florida state and be like a, fundraiser do something
In Florida. State she's, like you should. Coach you've been
coaching your whole. Life and that was how The Jackson
state things. Started they won At Jackson, state which is
an important part that gets lost in the. Shuffle that
was the other thing about The Shadoor oh he was
thirteen and twelve as a. Starter, well, no he wasn't
(30:48):
thirteen and twelve as a. Starter he was, like you,
know add twenty wins to. That if you actually factor
in the games that he started At Jackson, state you
say it's a different.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
LEVEL i don't. Care he's still. Started oh it was college,
Football that's WHAT i. Mean and so and.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
So, ANYWAY i just thought it was a weird notion
that he was going to do. That and as far As,
colorado it is, interesting like BECAUSE i do think there
is again for the people don't follow it on a
day to day, basis and MAYBE i follow it a little.
CLOSER i love college, football you, KNOW i host The
saturday night show With Jason. Martin we're coming on after
all the big. Games but, LIKE i think there's this
(31:22):
notion that after he Signed Travis, hunter he basically stopped.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Recruiting and it's, like.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Well got one of the best quarterbacks out of the
portal kid Named Kaden salter From, liberty got a five
star quarterback out of high, school Nam Julian Lewis Jordan, ceeon,
who AS i, mentioned was the number one offensive tackle
a couple of years. Ago And i'm not a draft,
expert but the early early projections for two drafts from,
now or that he's still trending as a top ten
pick like he would have out of high. School they
(31:46):
got one of the top offensive defensive linemen out away
From alabama in the. Portal AND i understand that four
or five guys don't, make you, know don't make a
roster on an eighty five, team eighty five man college football.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Roster BUT i think the counter to that is.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Is just, that you, know they probably have more individually
talented players that people give him credit. For and then
to your point about last year With, colorado it wasn't Just,
sure it wasn't Just Travis. Hunter you, know the defense
was actually really good and they actually return a lot
on defense as.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Well so, Yeah i'm with.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
You i'm curious to See i'm curious to see how
different it looks if they are able to run the.
Ball the last THING i will, say by the, WAY
i think that press Conference ephraim AND i don't know
if he only caught highlights or, what but the press
conference he did a couple weeks ago with the cancer,
ANNOUNCEMENT i happen to be in front of A tv
SO i saw it live and it was pretty. Surreal
(32:42):
BUT i also, think you know, one, obviously we all
are grateful that he's okay. TOO i think we can
officially put to bed he was only Coaching colorado to
help his sons get to the next. Level there is
literally not someone that has proven that he wants to
coach college football more Than Deon sanders coming back just
a few months after Beating.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Yeah and he said, THAT i mean he signed an.
Extension was he gonna sign an extension and then leave?
Speaker 10 (33:05):
That that's the whole that it makes sense to be at.
All and it's an extension for eight million dollars a. Year,
yeah but it's like the slight on it, Was shader
Needs dion in order to be.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Good So dion knows, This so he's gonna follow his
son to the. League and that's not the. Case let
him become whatever. Player he'll never be as great as his. Dad,
sure AND i say that. Definitively, yeah he's.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
One of the best football players ever yet.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Right not only one of not only the greatest corner,
ever but one of the greatest football, players every one
of the greatest athletes we've ever. Seen and so there
is no he's just trying to like If Tom brady's, Son.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Charlie Quarter Charlie, woods, right is he gonna be greater
than his? Father?
Speaker 5 (34:05):
No, no, no, No i'm, sorry, no, Sorry. Bud you,
know because when you have outliars as, PARENTS i know they're.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
OUTLIARS, YEP i understand they're not the.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Norm, now that's not saying that they can't be, successful
but don't equate the success and attach it to the. Father,
yeah who's the. Outlier that's not. Fair.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Yeah and the other thing, too not that it would be.
Fair it's not like they play the same, position like,
right it wouldn't even make sense to compare. Them but,
Yeah So dion And colorado they, open by the, WAY
i think three weeks from. Today they play actually on
A friday, night But dion one confirming he's healthy to
the next. Phase we're gonna win, differently but we're going to.
(34:56):
Win And colorado with media availability today keeping the updated

(36:47):
pass seven to seven game In. Carolina Bryce young actually
did start for The Carolina. Panthers he is. Out Andy
dalton is. In we'll monitor. That do you want to
go back to last?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Night?
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Though e from you AND i were on air during
The Colts ravens. Game it was a game in Which
Anthony richardson went down with a finger. Injury As De
sager told you just a minute, ago it was the
pinky finger on his throwing. Hand expected to return to
practice On. Saturday what do you Make do you make
(37:22):
anything of what's going on In? Indianapolis and it is
worth noting After Anthony richardson went, Down Daniel jones got
the bulk of the snaps in that, game finished ten
of twenty, one one hundred and forty four. Yards did
you learn anything last night watching The? Colts and does
The Anthony richardson injury slash comeback from injury mean anything to?
Speaker 5 (37:46):
YOU i? DID i did learn. Something Daniel jones isn't very.
Good oh you learned, that but not last? Night was
it a learn or a? Confirmation was a confirmation of? Sorts,
look it's not for everybody THE. Nfl, yeah, yeah it
(38:11):
wasn't for. Me i'm five, Ten and everyone who gets
drafted is it doesn't have a successful year or a successful.
Career and it takes the right. Situation it takes the right,
personnel the right. TEAM i always think about think Like
(38:33):
David carr when he got. Drafted if he had gone
to a team that had already had an offensive line
that had been, there opposed to an expansion franchise and
they were trying to just essentially building things from the
air and trying to put a team, together would he
have developed the bad habits he? Developed and so it's
(39:00):
it's one of those things Where Daniel, jones he goes
To New, york it's, Like, eh they bring In brian
Day ball because he Worked wonders With Josh, allen and
they have a semi successful, year make it to the,
playoffs and they decide to reward him with all that,
money not understanding, that, Say Kwon barkley was the reason
(39:22):
they made it to the. Playoffs and we saw that
soon after with The Philadelphia eagles hoisting the. Trophy so
For Daniel, jones he'll be in the league for about ten,
years he'll be a tremendous. Backup, okay he got second contract.
Money he can go on with his life like there's
(39:43):
no added pressure sure on. Him, now he may end
up very well being the starter this year In. Indy,
yeah and he can change that, narrative will? HE i
don't think, So but then AGAIN i don't. Know and
so it's unspectacular when you Watch Daniel jones And Jason
(40:07):
richardson play, Like i'm not, like oh, oh and he
does that Great LIKE i don't get any of. That
and so it's really a situation Where indie's just biding
their time until next year's quarterback.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Class. Yeah i'll just say this really.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
QUICK i think it's funny everybody's linking Arch manning to The.
Browns i'm, Like colts may need a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
History So jacksonville may need a Quarterback like, yeah hot.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
TAKES i, mean he's getting a lot of. Money so
we'll save The Trevor lawrence takes for another. Time we'll come.
BACK nfl preseason in full. Swing college football preseason.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Doesn't seem to. Exist we'll discuss that Next Fox Sports
