(01:06):
com the way tire buying should be. So yesterday was
the official start to the tampering window when it comes
to free agency in the NFL, which kicks off Eastern time.
We'll call it legal tampering. Just say you're open to
talk to two guys. What's the why I get rid
of it all together? You know it doesn't make sense. Yeah,

(01:28):
it's more fun though it feels like you're breaking the rules.
It's like having a fake you, but you're legally breaking
the rules, Like, oh, here is the time period that
you can go into a over twenty one bar at
eighteen legally? Like what doesn't make sense? Kind of adds
a little. It's a little something to it, though, you know,

(01:48):
like illegal tampering. I'm sure you would say that really
doesn't anything. You don't think, But what if they're twenty
years old, LaVar, Yeah, not twenty one? I do like
how Jonas say, Yeah, I kind of had something of
I like it, the legal tampering period a little bit
of an edge, you guys twenty two Jonas Max is

(02:09):
happy about that. I want the real thing. I just
I want them to start free agency and so all
these deals can be legitimized instead of waiting until tomorrow
to then see if stuff doesn't fall through. Well, one
of the deals that did get reported yesterday. Okay, how
about Sam Darnold about finding a home with the forty
nine ers coming out to the nine ers. Yeah, he's

(02:31):
gonna mess around and be like a pro Bowl watch
and see, like in Shanahan system, like brock Purty's not
gonna be back, Trey Lance will be. But then like
all of a sudden, he gets hurt or something happens,
and he goes and plays really well, and then he
played well to finish the season last year Carolina, all
of a sudden, Trey Lance I'm speaking of gets in

(02:54):
and he's just not good. And then Sam Darnold gets
the entire season to be a pro bowler. I gave me.
I can see that at the minute Garoppolo left and
you know that Purdy's out, Like your first thought is, okay,
Trey Lance is obviously going to get the first go
at it. But I mean this could be what the
doctor ordered for for Sam Darnold. Arnold's only twenty five

(03:17):
years old. Yeah, and Ben deal pretty much a bag
of crap throughout the course of his career. So now
he gets to go and and do you think it's
going to be an actual competition with Trey Lance or
is he is Trey Lance going to be the guy
and then Sam Donald will be the backup until brock
perty came. It's a one year deal competition. Well, I'm

(03:38):
just saying, if they get to camp and he's playing, well,
do you think Trey Lance is done enough to where
they say, all right, we're just gonna roll with him
and just deal with what we got and then try
and go through the growth to figure out what they
have in trailer. I wonder if Trey Lance can play
bad enough or be underwhelming enough for Sam Darnold to
get an opportunity. That's what I'm back, that's the question

(04:00):
like that legitimately, I was just gonna ask that. Yeah,
well that's what you asked. Just yeah, see you read
you read the wrong line that was lead printed out
for I just gave you what you were thinking. That's all.
You know. We've been doing this show long and I
appreciate it's all good man, we are that That's not
mine Penn State, Yeah, that's not mine. That was yours.
I was just helping you out. I appreciate that. See

(04:21):
so how you were trying to interpret yours And I
think that that's a very legit question too. Honestly, wherever
you were going, I don't want you to go. This movie,
this movie that's on in the in the studio is
really really I mean, I don't know what Berto's personal
life really is about when I see some of the
movies that he allows to play on and the studios Berto,

(04:43):
what's the name of this movie? Climax? Then it also
makes me wonder this thing ever seen? Then I go
into my thought process of why does Berto have the
remotes and not us? That's what this movie made me
think today. That was the conclusion I came to. It's
actually a very valid point because because that's where you

(05:04):
control changing the channels from there, and so I don't care.
I don't. Yeah, it doesn't mean that that like there
should be like a sensor in here where we can
change the channel, because honestly, I don't know why we're
watching this. Yeah it's over now. Yeah, Lisa is gonna
watch it when he gets home. Yeah, yeah he is.
I mean, it's very it was very um distracting. Yeah, okay,

(05:29):
especially the well, is it appropriate to say the climax
of the movie the final scene, okay, which, yeah, generally
the climax doesn't come at the end of the movie, right,
It's like it's like somewhere before the end, correct, Yeah,
I mean there's like a whole way you follow a

(05:52):
story script. Yeah, it was a movie. Brady always points
out to me in Jaws, you know, like the final
scene isn't Jaws getting killed, it's them and racing on
the water after Jobs was blowing up. Yeah. Right, yeah, yeah,
that's what he always points out. It's like a problem.
It's like you introduced the characters, there's a problem, then
it escalates, then there's the climax, yeah, and then there's

(06:15):
the solution or whatever, and then there's the ending that
felt like it ended on the crescender. That definitely was
all of it put together. Yeah, and then it was over.
Did we really hope to have an entire segment? No,
So so I'm glad that I'm glad you brought that up,
because we do transition now smoothly over to the guy
that he's replacing in one way, shape or form, and

(06:37):
that's Jimmy Garoppolo, who apparently is going to be the
quarterback at least for this year when it's always replacing
Vegas Raiders. Well, yeah, I mean Garoppolo left. Yeah, it's
a little disrespectful to Jimmy g But he's Jimmy's probably
gonna have a good time in Vegas. I think he's
gonna I think he's gonna like it in Vegas a lot.
I think they're gonna do a lot of scoring. You know. Yeah, great,

(06:58):
And again there's a drastic difference between Derek Carr and
the type of play of Jimmy Garoppolo. So Garoppolo, like
one of the things I love about his game. He
has such a quick release, like a lightning quick release
when getting rid of the football. He's accurate spins the football. Well,
but I remember what he first got out to San Francisco.

(07:19):
I got to call one of the games that year,
and I was talking to and I'm not gonna say who,
but it was like one of the you know, kind
of their their in house team, you know, broadcasters, and
he goes, he goes, just tell me what you notice
throughout practice, and then so I'm watching practice, we get done.
He goes, what do you see. I go, we didn't
really fill the football down the field. He goes exactly,

(07:42):
he goes, he's really accurate inside of thirty yards. He goes,
you don't really see the ball ever travel over thirty
yards downfield. Now, it's not that he doesn't have a
strong enough arm. I think he's got a strong enough
arm and make all the throws. But for whatever reason,
when you want to watch him throughout the course of
his career, he's not really looking to push the ball

(08:03):
downfield past thirty yards take shots, and that's just not
his game. And if you can look at just the
Las Vegas Raiders his past year with Derek Carr, they
will take some chunks and shot plays. Even though the
course of his career there in comparison to Jimmy g So,
even though Jimmy Garoppolo knows josh McDaniels system extremely well,

(08:25):
and joshuall call plays to set him up for success,
whether it's to Adams or Waller or Hunter Renfro, whoever,
there's still an element of change that you're going to
see just from that aspect where it's gonna be more
kind of spinning it around, getting yards after the catch,
methodically working the ball down the field as opposed to
chunk plays at times like I think you've seen throughout
Derek Carr being there or even this past year with

(08:48):
car under Josh McDaniels. How does that compare in the league.
I would be curious to know how many quarterbacks are
good at downfield, like have great success at putting the
ball downfield on a consistent vasis versus not going past
thirty yards, you know, and in the way that they
approached throwing the ball. I'll look at I'm trying to

(09:12):
give you an exact stat on it, but I mean
I think you rock the top of your head. I
think you look at the Mahomes, the Rogers, the Joe Burrows,
the Herbert's, Like you start lining up some guys you go,
oh yeah, Like I can think in my head of
some big chunk plays or splash plays they had this
past year where you know, the ball traveled this far downfield.
It's just it wasn't really that style of offense with

(09:34):
Jimmy g Tom Brady too, right, Tom Brady as well. Yeah,
I mean, especially like the Mike Evans, although you know
they you know, they try to Scottie Millis some their
fast receivers. But look, some of it's a byproduct of
like what do you have Do you have speed at
those positions to be able to do it? Do you not?
Some of it's, you know, a byproduct of what the
quarterback is. You know, maybe he wants to get the

(09:55):
ball out quicker, whatever the case is. But I'll try
to find you a stat of completions over thirty plus yards.
We'll see around. I was just curious and since because
that's also to me, that's just as much about the
offensive scheme as it is about the quarterback as well,
Like I get quarterback capabilities, but I'm just curious in

(10:15):
terms of what the offensive scheme is and what they
want to do. Like we mentioned Patrick Mahomes, but you know,
one of the biggest parts of Andy reid offense, our
short plays, our short pass plays, are our screens, and
like he created all of those different ways to get
to a screen. I think Andy Reid is like the

(10:37):
master of screens and and so it's just I'm curious
because if you think about it, how many how many
quarterbacks really like if we name we'll name the same
names more often than not on guys that we know
have crazy arm talent. But there's thirty two teams in
the league, so it's like how many how many teams
have a guy at the quarterback aition that is able

(11:01):
to be successful pushing the ball downfield like way downfield.
I'll give you an example. Here are all the names
of twenty plus yard passing ball traveling through the year,
twenty plus yards passing last season before. Jimmy Garoppolo okay, okay,
Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert,

(11:23):
Tom Brady, Derek Card, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Gino Smith,
Mac Jones, Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow, Davis Mills to a
tongue of Iloah, Jeric Golf, Jacoby Percent, Justin Fields, Dak Prescott,
Marcus Mariota, Lamar Jackson, Kenny Pickett, Kyler Murray, Andy Dalton,
Carson Wentzack Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Baker Mayfield, Mitch Trubisky, Taylor Heineke,
Jimmy g Now, obviously he didn't play the entire season, right,

(11:44):
so then you have to dig into and go, okay,
is it the what percentage of his attempts when he
was playing went, you know, over twenty yards down to me,
what would the plus thirty be? Because once you get
plus thirty, right, like, that's that's what we because plus
it would actually be even less. So that's kind of

(12:05):
the whole best correct, we're saying twenty plus And so again,
if if if I went based on the percentage of
their throws that traveled over twenty yards downfield in the air,
Sam Donald, Mitch Trubisky, Russell Wilson, Mark Smarta, Justin Fields,
Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, mate's a majority, Cooper said, Derek
card too, have talked about low Zach Wilson's, Jalen Hurds,
Davis Mills, Carson Wentz, Kenny pick It, Brock Purty, Trevor Lance,

(12:26):
Trevor Lawrence, excuse me, Kyler, Murray, Taylor Honekey, Geno Smith,
Dak Prescott, Ryan Tannehill, Andy Dalton, Justin Herbert Lea Mayfield,
Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes, Jimmy Garoppolo. It's the entire league. Well,
the interesting thing on that in that comparison is you
look at the fact that Brock Purdy, who started what
eight games for them, he's on this list and there.

(12:48):
I don't want to say it's substantial, but it's a
big difference. He's a couple percentage points more. He obviously,
you know, played and had more attempts um while he
was playing where they took shots downfield, and so it
kind of gives you a contrast of, Hey, this is
what the offense was like while Brockfurdy was in. This
is what the offense was like. Would Jimmy Garoppolo was

(13:08):
in and that And that's, like I said, that's one
of the biggest differences. Derek Carr's in the top ten
as far as attempts pushing the ball downfield or even
that percentage of throws pushing the ball downfield, and Garoppolo's not.
So the offense Garoppolo will be familiar with, but it's
gonna look different, I think for Raiders fans as far
as taking shots down field. Did you mention Deshaun Watson
because you did say plus twenty, right, Yeah, yes, Well

(13:31):
he used the plus sixty category. There's a deep ball,
not a lot in the plus sixty category. Yeah, unbelievable.
Is it too soon? The interesting thing is, so I
did it for um, it's you know, custom here we go,
that's gonna minimum certain attempts. You know, if you if

(13:54):
you do like minimum of however many attempts all that
could factor in as well. But yeah, I mean that's
twenty percent of their throws, which you know, does he
Here's like another important aspect of the garoppolo signing. Does
he buy a house in Henderson or Summerland or does
he just take up a whole floor and a suite

(14:17):
in one of those high rise casino slash hotels in Vegas?
Where does he choose the ladder? I agree. I was
sitting in the wind and I was like, man, they
got a nice little um studio downstairs that you can
put your own stuff on. So I could put two

(14:37):
pros and a cup of Joe on the wall, sit
in the studio and do the show. And it's a dope,
dope studio. It's it's equipped with cameras all that stuff.
I could do the show right right from there. It's
like you have fine dining you I mean, you're you're
centralized to like basically, if there's anything you want to do,

(15:00):
you're you're right there. You're you're far enough away from
the stadium. I think the stadium is like eight minutes away,
ten minutes away by car. Like the wind is dope, man,
until I was sitting in that room like I'm not
ready to leave. And I've been in the villas at
the Wind too, And that's that's on a whole nother level.

(15:22):
How's the menu there? It's a hell of a menu,
I'll tell you. Yeah, it's a hell of a million menu. Yeah,
interesting even for even for overweight guys. Man, here we
get back to this. I mean, you don't have to
go gluten free in there. I tell you this. You know,
no gluten free. Oh gluten there's derey. I'm really going

(15:46):
to do this. There's always that. That's easy as two
pros and a cup of jail. Here on Fox Sports

is a move that was also made in the NFL
yesterday that could be an indication as to how one
team feels about their quote unquote franchise quarterback. We'll tell
you what that was right here on FSR. Be sure
to catch live editions of Two Pros and a Cup

Jonas Knocks with you here. Coming up a little over
twenty minutes from now from the tire rack dot Com Studios,
we are gonna have volume two of you Enter You
Out Debuty Yesterday, Leavar. It's a fun one. It's a

(16:53):
fun one to finish up the show one. Yeah, Dan,
It's gonna be a good time. So we'll have that
for you. Here. We are brought to you by Dollars
Shall for a razor and this economy gross With Dollar
Shape Club, you can get a top shelf shape and
a regular shelf price. Dollar Shape Club is available to
a store near you in the men's razor aisle. That's it.
That's the ad. We do have some news out of
the NFL because the Atlanta Falcons have got a new

(17:16):
quarterback on the roster, Taylor Heineck. Taylor Heineck gets a
two year deal, according to reports, worth up to twenty
million dollars. So the Atlanta Falcons have got Taylor Heineke
there too, apparently compete with Desmond. Is that us okay,
it's about to say. Is that a starting contract bringing

(17:36):
him in, or is that he's a backup to Desmond
Ritter contract. He could be a backup to their draft
pick depending on what they do. I just I'm Desmond
Ritter is a he's a good kid. He checks a
lot of boxes and check this style. I don't think
he's throwing a touchdown pass yet. Has he let me
double check that for you? He started with four or

(17:58):
five games. I mean, it just it felt like last
year I got the call a game from watching their
offense two touchdown basses. He is two yeah, right at
the end of the season, it just it felt like
they were trying to avoid almost they'll make them bad,
bad play. Yeah that that and really just not putting
them in a position where he had to throw it

(18:19):
on And I know they felt like the strength of
their team was running the football, But I just it
didn't seem like in a league where it's it's all
about whether or not you can stretch the field and
compete with the guys like Patrick Mahomes, josh On, etc.
It did not feel that way necessarily watching their tape,
like they're going to be able to compete with those teams.

(18:39):
Ever they use a third round pick, like that's why,
like just the idea. I mean, I know people want to,
you know, look at the Lamar Jackson stuff and say, well,
you know, they should be in on Lamar Jackson. Well,
I mean clearly they're not. And maybe they're going to
be moving up. Maybe they look at Arizona sitting at
three as a potential possibility they could move up to.
But I am this is kind of an important year

(19:02):
for Arthur Smith. I mean, it's year three. He's six
games under five hundred through the first two years of
his of his coaching career in Atlanta, and it feels
like they've got weapons there. There's talent on offense that
they can work with. I just I'd be surprised if
they go into this upcoming season with Desmond Ritter and
Taylor Heinekes were I mean, they were somewhat of a

(19:24):
competitive team last year, Like they didn't win a lot,
but they didn't lose terribly. They didn't lose bad, which
is I know that's like a horrible caveat, but I
just I just felt like this was a team that
was maybe missing a quarterback. They were a quarterback away

(19:46):
from being a team that could pull off one one
possession losses. You know, That's that's I felt like the
Atlanta Falcons were a better team than what their record
would would state. So and and you had some key
injuries as well to that team. So it's it's a

(20:06):
curious pick up because a lot of people in Washington
felt as though Taylor Tyler Taylor, Taylor Taylor could be
the starter for them, and almost why wouldn't you give
him a fair opportunity to be the starter? And that's

(20:27):
from players. So I think it's interesting that he would
go there and whatever the situation is going to be,
because there is I mean, I I'd assume there's the opportunity.
Just like what we said about Darnold going going into
San Francisco, there's probably probably the opportunity that Heineke gets

(20:49):
the chance to start in Atlanta, whether they draft or
whether they go, you know, with what they already have,
that that's a very real possibility. Heinik was okay, he
wasn't great though last year. There's a reason, Carson Wyne.
It's kind of the same thing to me with every

(21:09):
team you're talking about, Like, if you want to go
win a Super Bowl, you have to have someone who
could potentially compete with Patrick Malmes. I'm not saying you
got to be able to you know, have him be
better than him. He's such a rare talent, Like you're
not gonna find that, but someone who could who can't
compete and maybe two times out of ten be able
to play better than in that matchup or three times
out of ten, right, And you have to have a

(21:32):
guy with extraordinary talent, like a Josh Allen, like a
Joe Burrow in many of those cases that can match
that or at least in some of those matchups be
able to display that. I think that's the challenge is
if we were sitting here right now and said, Okay,
Washington's playing in Kansas City in the Super Bowl last year,
that's a nail. Yeah, it's a nail. If we if

(21:53):
we said this year Atlanta is playing, can't sit in
the super Bowl next year, Like I don't, I don't
care how I think I'll side of Cincinnati. I don't
think there's a quarterback out there that can go ahead
to hit with with Pat Mahomes right now, Patrick Mahomes,
And that's probably the case. But but what I'm saying
is like you at least have to have guy, a

(22:13):
guy who's got the talent enough to be able to
have a shot, because you know, if that game turns
into a shootout, you've got to be able to have
a guy who gives you a shot and be able
to win that game. And that's why I like, say
what you want about Derek Carr and I just might
upset Bruto, but like there were some times they go
into the Arrowhead and beat them. Yeah, I mean, granted
a regular season, but there were some times when you saw,

(22:34):
like the Raiders be able to go blow to blow,
you know, with the divisional opponent, the Chiefs. And I
understand it's different because if it's in the playoffs, we're
all picking Kansas City, but there's there's still elements of
that and I think that's why, you know, when you
look at a signing like this. You say, Okay, you
know what exactly is it? Is it like a stop
gap guy to get him through to next year's draft?

(22:55):
Is it because there they need to back up? They
want Ridder to be the guy. But if that doesn't
work out and they're going with Heindekey or they maybe
gonna draft a quarterback potentially with where they're sitting in
the top ten, there's just a lot of questions about it.
I mean, Jalen Hurts didn't do bad against him in
the playoffs. I mean they were only a hold away
from him having a Hurts Hurts in that conversations. In

(23:15):
the conversation, yeah, uh, you know he was. He was,
but I won't say it was because of throwing the ball.
You know, it was just everything all around. And then
now that that opens up the conversation to a long
larger conversation of who are the quarterbacks that could actually
do well enough mobilely as well to keep Patrick Mahomes

(23:39):
off the field. We all know the best defense for
a guy like him is having a good offense that
has sustained drives, you know, long long, uh sustained times
of possession in the game, and protecting the ball. So
there's there's different ways to try to compete with him.
But if we're talking can apples to apples, I mean

(24:02):
there's really like one or so you know, questionable outside
of one that you would actually say, I'm comfortable with
his ability to be able to deliver the ball and
get get points on the board to keep up with
what they're doing in Kansas City. But you know, we'll
have to see. I think it's a curious, a curious

(24:27):
decision by Atlanta. I do. And and if it is
Desmond Ritter to begin with, and it is indeed a
draft pick that comes in, I are you carrying three quarterbacks?
I mean you gave them a two year contract? Are
you able to get from under that? And right now

(24:47):
are you able to say, okay, well we saw what
you look like in training camp and OTAs and spring
ball and preseason, and we're going to go in a
different direction. I mean, I think I think drafting a
quarterback complicates it for certain Yeah. Well, I mean when
you guys say, I don't know, I think they'd keep three,

(25:10):
there's no ok about it. And then if it's a
two year deal, it's probably it's you know, one year
and then then we'll see and with Ritter, you know,
he'd be you know, already through his second year if
they were to do that, so he know, he was
draft in the third round, so it's a four year deal.
So it's it's it's just a little bit different scenario.
I think it they're setting themselves up if the right

(25:30):
guy follows them, you know, maybe to look at that guy.
But I also think there's going to be a couple
of teams that look at the long term playoff next
year and say, if we happen to be at the
top of next year's draft, we're perfectly fine with that
because we'll have the chance to have Caleb Williams or
Drake May if not potentially another quarterback in that draft,

(25:51):
which right now, and I said this, I think yesterday
both those guys will be rated at the top two
of this class. I'm just just the reason why I'll
continue my thing of why I believe it's kind of
curious is because I don't think that bringing Heineck in
makes them a doesn't literally improve their team. But I

(26:12):
don't think that Ritter is the answer either. So it's
it's kind of like if you bring in a draft
pick then not. You know, it's almost like you're hoping
that the draft pick can be what he needs to
be for your team to improve, because otherwise, if you're saying, Okay,
we're gonna wait for the draft pick to develop, it's

(26:33):
okay to go with Heinecki or Ritter moving moving until
that happens. I just don't see that. Like, while they're competitive,
I just don't see them being that extra extra bit
that they need to be winning the games. They'll be competitive,
but maybe not winning those games. Kind of like this year,

(26:55):
let me let me ask you guys something, and this
is kind of switching up the subjects, but if you
were the Jets, would you not be trying to set
yourself up to create as much familiarity with Aaron Rodgers
if he was gonna be going there? Yeah, I mean,
so we would like Alan Lazard maybe was going to

(27:15):
agree to a deal. Ah, okay, so he just went there. Well,
I mean there's some news that that's kind of coming
out right now, but they're working to reach an agreement
with Alan Lazard, who is a free agent, which would
make some sense. Right He's familiar with Nathaniel Hackett, you know,
obviously Rogers is familiar with them. That probably helps that transition.
I mean that maybe this is what Rogers was kind

(27:38):
of alluding to, that there were some things that needed
to get there, because there's been some speculation that there
could be other players also involved. That maybe Rogers is saying,
you know, I'd like to have you know, a couple
of my guys there. So maybe that's how the release
of Braxton Barrios was a little bit interesting to me,
in part because I think he's a good slot He's
a twitchy guy, he runs good routes, strong hands, he

(28:00):
can help out in the return game. But I also
then felt like maybe that leaves the door open for
Randall Cobb. I mean, and obviously, you know, Rogers has
a huge affinity for Randall Cobb and he's one of
the reasons why he was back in Green Bay. So
maybe that's that's part of the equation too, is bring
in a couple of receivers that I can depend on Immediately.
I'll work with Gary Wilson to get more comfortable with him,

(28:21):
but you know, you bring in some of those players
that help out. Maybe that's part of it. Is there
any way he doesn't go to New York. It feels
like it's all set up for him too. We kind
of talked about this Monday, LeVar. I just I keep
going back to if he was to retire, because I mean,
Green Bay doesn't want him back based on what Mark
Roophy said. But if he was to retire, he'd be

(28:45):
going to the same class as Tom Brady. And so
unless he knows something that Brady's gonna come back, we don't.
I don't know that he wants to finish his career
the way last year went, and I don't know that
he wants to be in the same Hall of Fame
classes Brady. I'm just wondering if some way, somehow the
Aaron Rodgers deal falls apart and he doesn't end up

(29:05):
in New York, what does New York Do's what's planned?
B If I was them, I would mortgage my entire
draft to trade up and take one of these quarterbacks. Wow,
every single pick. Yeah, there's not a lot of Wilson.
God bless you, bro. Unless you can sell Tom Brady
on the idea of hating Bill Belichick so much that

(29:25):
he wants to be a jet pass things up. Yeah,
So it's unfortunate. So Rogers or bust. It's unfortunate. Two

There's free pizzas, free pies. There's Pieku Festival where people

the color of your energy. That little piccolo snare they got, right, Brady,
how does that song go by the way? Uh uh yeah, yeah, yeah,

(34:58):
that's it right there. Yeah yeah, it's very tropic. You
know they're from Nebraska, even though their music sounds like
it's from somewhere else. I think they've been there. I mean,
