The season that just 33 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.200 ended the NFL, So let's start. There's free agency, there's 34 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.079 going to be a draft coming up. Let's talk about 35 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.719 because there's been a lot of moves lately. There's been 36 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.439 some big signings and then there's been some a lot 37 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.039 of free agencies, a lot of people let go or 38 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:15.479 not renewed or traded. Let's talk about some of those 39 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.159 big moves. Pensman, tell me some of the big moves 40 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:18.919 that you've noticed. 41 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.159 Well, in case you guys haven't heard, Christian Kirk just 42 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.960 sign with the Texans to Nate. I don't know what 43 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.039 time exactly, but as up to Nate. Christian Kirk is 44 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:34.159 headed to the Texans after a day of being unemployed. 45 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.439 He is officially a Texan. And the Jaguars gave just 46 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.719 released that the Pittsburgh Steelers just the one wide receiver. 47 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.520 Can you please, art Rony give me one receiver? I 48 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.159 know Nigie Harris is leaving. I know that, but just 49 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.039 give me one wide receiver. I get the draft of 50 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.800 running back. There's like I said the other day, there 51 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.680 is tons of running backs in the draft. Just give 52 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.199 me one big name free agency. That's all I ask for. 53 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.400 Okay, George, any big note names that you've. 54 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.919 Well, yeah, Adam Scheffler is reporting that the Seahawks receiver 55 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.599 DK Metcalf has formally requested a trade. So Penson, I 56 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.759 get your get your general manager to get on the 57 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.479 phone and try to get your try to get Metcalf 58 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.879 over there from from the Seattle Seahawks. 59 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.199 He don't want to play there anymore. 60 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.479 I love these guys that go out there, Candy and 61 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.560 they just say, trade me, trade me, trade me all the. 62 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:39.319 Money they're getting. 63 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.360 They're never ever happy, and and I think that that 64 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.919 I understand sometimes the coach and the riff between the 65 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:47.759 coach and the player. 66 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:48.719 Okay, I get all. 67 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.599 That, but come on, you guys, if you know some 68 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.560 of you're getting all this big salary money and some 69 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.840 of them just don't know why to They just want 70 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.960 to move to the next city. It reminds me of 71 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.960 oh yeah, something called the portal in the NCAA football 72 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:03.639 the portal. 73 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:04.520 Yeah. 74 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.560 Yeah, But anyways, to answer your question, I think that 75 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.400 the Lions are still gonna be active. I mean not 76 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.759 as much as they used to be, obviously, because their 77 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:21.000 roster is pretty solid. But they can't start the season 78 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.839 again with a lousy backup quarterback to golf. These quarterbacks, 79 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.199 they've been lucky that he's not been hurt the last 80 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.000 couple few years they've had him, but they got to 81 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.519 keep an eye on that, and they've got to do 82 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.839 something because Hooker. 83 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.480 They have no confidence in Hooker. 84 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.000 You know, he's on the roster, but he's he hasn't 85 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.920 played hardly at all. And last year they had to 86 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.519 call what's the guy he's coaching high school football down 87 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.839 in Florida Bridgewater. Yeah, you see how that ended up? Yeah, Teddy, Teddy, Yeah, 88 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.839 you can't do that. They can't live with a with 89 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.079 an unknown as the as the backup quarterback. That to 90 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.519 me is what the Detroit Lions need to get settled 91 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.439 and settled fast. 92 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.079 Well, well, I agree with Pensman in one perspective. Steelers 93 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.319 gonna start thinking outside the box here. And you know something, George, 94 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.240 I want to bring something to you. You know, you'll 95 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.360 talk about free agents. All these free agents out here 96 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.240 that say they want to play for Mike Tomlin, but 97 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:19.680 I don't see them on the Steelers. 98 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.480 Okay. 99 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.800 That that to me bothers me a little bit when 100 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.079 they keep saying, oh, I want to play for Mike Tomlin. 101 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:26.839 He's a great coach. 102 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.519 But you want to play for Mike Tomlin because Mike 103 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.319 Tomlin lets you do whatever you want. Okay, that's why 104 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.439 you want to play for Mike Tomlin. That's number one. 105 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.319 Number two. I don't want to hear it anymore. If 106 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.439 you want to play for Mike Tomlin so bad, then 107 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.240 why don't it Why aren't you burning up the phone 108 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:42.439 over at the Steeler office? 109 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.920 Isn't coming here? Okay? 110 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.120 That's I have an issue with that. Yeah, to see 111 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:52.160 where Joey Bosa is going to go? Yeah, by La Chargers. 112 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.040 Steelers could use them. I mean, I know they have 113 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.240 DJ Watt and overpaid Alex high Smith and a few 114 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:00.839 other people, but you know. 115 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.720 It never hurts to have more edge rushers and talent. 116 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:04.600 Uh. 117 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.959 And we need a lot of defensive tackle help, and 118 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.240 you know, more than just and wide receiver running back 119 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.560 perhaps and uh, you know, my my thing is George 120 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.920 Aaron Glenn. I'm interested to see what he's going to 121 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.959 do up in New York. Yeah, Rogers Walk and uh, 122 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.560 you know, so we're going to see what what he 123 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.720 does up there, so you know. 124 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.600 But uh, that's that's what I have to say about that. 125 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.680 Can I ask one question DK, DK Metcalf and I 126 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.199 don't care who answers this, but we're all we're all 127 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.560 fans besides me and Ralph, we're on the same page. 128 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.959 But would you guys actually take DK for a first 129 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.920 and third round pick? Come on, that's a lot. 130 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.240 That's just like if you're selling a house, though, I mean, 131 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.399 you you want to put it a little higher and 132 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:03.639 then well maybe a second. 133 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.600 You know, they gave a first round pick to Miami 134 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.920 for Minka Fitzpatrick and what's Minca done in the last 135 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.839 couple of years. Nothing, so you know, and then we 136 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.199 ended up with that bum Chase Claypool in the second round. 137 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.800 So you know, I don't think the Steelers will ever 138 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.240 do that again. I'm sorry to interrupt JD JD Right, No. 139 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.560 Yeah, yeah, no, you're fine, but yeah, I mean, yeah, 140 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.759 you're not giving up a Perston at third though. Then, 141 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.800 But that's what I'm saying I think they're starting high, 142 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.759 you know, try to get the bidding high and then 143 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:31.399 maybe you'll. 144 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.839 Settle for something a little less. 145 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.560 I mean, you got Miles Garrett and that whole debacle 146 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.000 with Cleveland and everything as well. 147 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.439 So yeah, I'll let you guys get back to it. 148 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.399 Though, if anybody else had anything to say before the 149 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.480 NFL free agency stuff ended up. 150 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.879 I think Joey's going to join his brother in San Francisco. 151 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.319 That's my That's where I'm thinking, Yeah, that could happen, right. 152 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.120 Well, that was the one thing too. I was gonna mention, well, 153 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:00.560 why didn't you speak? 154 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.839 I was going to, but I interjected into somebody else. 155 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.399 I meanechnically the Florida. Yeah, Candy hadn't technically got to 156 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.120 my turn yet. I don't want to overstep, you know 157 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.800 what I mean, But yeah, if it's my turn, Candy. 158 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.800 So yeah, that's the one thing I was gonna mention. 159 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.759 Did anybody have the Chargers releasing Bosa on their bingo card? 160 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.839 I would never, no way. 161 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.879 And see, that's the one question that I wanted to 162 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.279 ask Pensman and all of this or anybody else as 163 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.080 a Steelers fan. 164 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:38.840 T J. 165 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.320 Watt he was not very productive there down in the stretch. 166 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.720 He certainly didn't do his part on the defensive side 167 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.639 of the ball, wrecking the game. And so to me, 168 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:57.919 because right, well pen'sman though if okay, but if the Chargers. 169 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.159 He only had one man on him and he them 170 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.159 one game, he had a rookie, he had a rookie 171 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.080 offensive lineman that took. 172 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.240 That's right, Ralph, That's right. 173 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.240 Well, that's what I'm saying. That's what I wanted to 174 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:09.759 spark up. 175 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.279 Is it time maybe for the Steelers to look past 176 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.919 what if the Chargers did it with Bosa? 177 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.120 And that's what's wild. 178 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.639 I mean, this all goes back to the wide receivers. 179 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.799 That's another question for you guys, George, anybody else chime 180 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.159 in on this one. Did the wide receiver position this 181 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:32.039 year become the running back position of last year? Where 182 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.600 you've got all of these guys getting traded. You got 183 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.799 several free agents and nobody really seems to be interested 184 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.480 in some of them. I mean Davante Adams. To me, 185 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.240 I'm not signing the guy. I don't think Aaron Rodgers 186 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.440 next year will be playing. To be honest with you, 187 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.240 I really don't he wants he'll obviously want to contend. 188 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:59.879 So where is he gonna good. 189 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.399 Somebody that could test with for a core or back, 190 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.039 somebody that's looking for leadership. Well, I know, we know 191 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.480 Aaron Rodgers can can't have leadership at times as much 192 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.440 of a big baby as he is. But anyhow, uh, 193 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.799 you know that's that's looking for somebody like that. My 194 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.480 advice to one of these new coaches is to get him, 195 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.120 because one of these new coaches, you're gonna need somebody. 196 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.200 You know what I mean? 197 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.279 You want you want Aaron Rodgers to go to Saint 198 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.639 Look to New Orleans Saints to play for Kellen Moore? 199 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.559 Is that what you're saying? 200 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:29.720 Hey, why not? 201 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.960 I mean, you know you're a new coach in this 202 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.279 league and you're a rookie coach at that. You know 203 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.039 what I'm saying, you need you need an experienced quarterback. 204 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.759 I had this discussion with a couple of people on 205 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.039 my Sports Corner radio show. You know that, you know 206 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.440 they think that smoking Jim Fraser is wrong when he 207 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:48.080 says that the. 208 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.440 Jets should have kept Aaron Rodgers. 209 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.720 So Aaron Glenn would have at least a decent starting 210 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.799 quarterback to get him off the you know, to get 211 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.759 to get the team moving a little bit instead off. 212 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.679 If he goes to kill it, Moore might be fired. 213 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.919 Look what he did, Robert Saplin in week five. Oh 214 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.320 you know, that's not the way you should do it. 215 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:09.480 He's out the door. 216 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.840 So you guys, none of you mentioned how Deshaun Watson 217 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:20.360 actually restructured his contract to take to create thirty five 218 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.080 point eight million dollars in cap space for the Cleveland Browns. 219 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.559 I'm surprised he did that, and I'm surprised the Browns 220 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.919 did it. I thought he'd be long gone, but that's fine. 221 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.759 I'm surprised they gave him two hundred and thirty five 222 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:40.559 million dollars guaranteed up front. Yeah yeah, oh my good 223 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.200 with with everything that was going on with him at 224 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:43.679 that time. 225 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.399 I mean, I know. 226 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.039 They paid him because of the Houston Texts and the 227 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.840 player that he was. They thought that they were going 228 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.159 to get the Houston textan player and to take the 229 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.440 Cleveland brown franchise to that. That's who That's why the 230 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.919 Cleveland Browns paid him that because of what he did 231 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.879 in Houston. When he went to Cleveland, he had he 232 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.240 had a three sixty and we saw what he did 233 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.039 in Cleveland, which I'm thankful for. 234 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:14.799 Yes, we're always thankful in Pittsburgh. When Cleveland screws up, 235 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.519 and they screw. 236 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.600 Up a lot, they do screw up a lot. You 237 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.039 got that right through. But the last time they want anything, 238 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.120 oh my gosh, I can't even remember. That's how bad 239 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.200 it is. But you know what, they're building a dome 240 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.080 stadium there, so you know a new Oh yeah. 241 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.639 I had Lou Marconi on he covers the on my show, 242 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.399 he covers the Cleveland Browns, and he told me that 243 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.960 they're they're looking for financing to get a dome stadium. 244 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.600 And I heard Phil heard Philadelphia might be doing the 245 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.120 same thing. 246 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:46.879 Yeah, yeah, the link. 247 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:56.519 Yeah, and the Steelers will keep that relic atri Sure Stadium. 248 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.120 Okay, So and Candy, we didn't talk about Dek Prescott. 249 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.720 Dek Prescott restruct restructure his deal and they saved about 250 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:10.399 twenty seven million dollars too. So Cowboys fans, you can go. Yeah, 251 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.960 we've got Dak Prescott who won two playoff games, congratulations, 252 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.399 And they. 253 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.759 Got Trey Lance. They're still there too, I believe, so. 254 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.240 Penzman, not to correct you, but I'm pretty sure Dak's 255 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.159 only one one. I think. 256 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:31.159 Oh, quarterbacks in this league, Oh my gosh, that are bumps. 257 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.600 Daniel Jones, Gino Smith. I can they I can average quarterbacks. 258 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:40.240 Kirk Cousins. Georgie knows a lot about Kirk Cousins. 259 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.879 Yeah, if if it is one or two, it's still bad. 260 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.360 It's not like Patrick Mahomes, it's not like Marino, it's 261 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.799 not like any of these big names. Where but Dallas 262 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.759 loves Dak. But they have Dak. I don't. 263 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.200 Yeah, there's just too many unknowns, and even the battery quarterbacks. 264 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.919 It's so it's all risky. Now, Now what's Minnesota gonna do? 265 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.799 Now they're gonna go with Donald again? And now I 266 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.399 heard JJ McCartney's he's mad as hell. He's gonna want 267 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.240 to demand a trade. And of course he hasn't taken 268 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.279 it down yet after the last seeds of victory. I 269 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.879 don't know what Minnesota's thinking. But darnld. I mean, you know, 270 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.360 he showed what he's worth in the playoffs. I'm sorry, 271 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.519 he just yeah, he was terrible. 272 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:22.639 Yeah. 273 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.480 Yeah, it's when you win the big game, George, that's 274 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.679 when he counts. Yeah, okay, I don't care how many, 275 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.159 how many regular season games you won. If you don't 276 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.480 win the playoffs, go to Super Bowl forget it. 277 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.120 Oh yeah, And the Lions learned that the hard way 278 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.039 this year, didn't they? 279 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.600 Oh my god, I don't you know what. That was 280 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.759 such a disappointment. 281 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.000 And you know something I've been told, the Bobby Lane 282 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.000 curse is still there. 283 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.440 Oh boy? Right? 284 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.759 Well, hey, and Kandy, if I made too, I want 285 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.320 one more questions and shaller kind of on this topic 286 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:56.200 and stuff already about all these players. The one I 287 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.039 did mention was has the wide receiver become the new 288 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.320 running back of this year? 289 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:01.240 Undervalue? 290 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.679 You see a ton of them requesting trades, Yes, they 291 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:06.679 want to go to other teams and all that stuff, 292 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.919 Like do teams now just feel like they can just 293 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.639 go draft a few rookie wide receivers and make sure 294 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.240 Elik neighbors. We're seeing what Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson 295 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.080 and Jordan Madison, I mean, Cede Lamb, They've all performed 296 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.879 well as rookies, and so I think the older one 297 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.039 is starting to become that new running back position. 298 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.799 Yeah yeah, yeah. And Malfard Jr. 299 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.360 As you know, was a running back and he's mentioned 300 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.399 that several times on Inside the Pigskin. He's so disappointed 301 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.159 with the lack of value for the running back position. 302 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.120 As we all know, it has dropped considerably. So that's 303 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:46.960 a good observation. 304 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.960 Jad. Talking about the receivers, you know, you're always. 305 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.080 Going to have that elite group, we know that, but 306 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:57.080 then you've got that mid range, and then a lot 307 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.519 of the mid range guys want to move around, they 308 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.840 want to go the winner. You can't all do it. 309 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.320 Not everybody wins. Like you said, Ralph, I mean, you know, 310 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.440 super Bowl win is hard to get. 311 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.240 It is, it is hard to get. 312 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:10.720 But you know what, it's what you do in the 313 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.879 playoffs in the super Bowl, it makes your legacy. 314 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.279 Okay, that's that's you know what I meansolutely, you know. 315 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.519 And one other thing I want to add here real quick. 316 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.399 Every year in the draft, and I think a lot 317 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.639 of you agree with me on this, there's always a 318 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.279 lot of wide receivers. If you pick up the draft 319 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:31.080 block draft publications, there's at least everybody they have a 320 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.639 top twenty five for every position wide receiver they have 321 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.519 a top forty or top fifty, So that means there's 322 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.879 plenty of wide receivers to go around that you can 323 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.480 draft two or three of them in your draft. 324 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.759 And still and for what you need if you need 325 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.200 that many. 326 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.399 Hmm, good part. I think I did a video the 327 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.120 other night where I said the same Sada, thank you, 328 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:54.919 thank you, Ralph. 329 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.519 I was going to say that anyway. 330 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.879 I mean, I appreciate your comment on that. That was awesome. 331 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:06.200 Let's let's face it. As as the football field is, however, 332 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.880 wide wide receivers are way on the end. A running 333 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:13.200 back is in the play more often, whether you're gonna 334 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.920 pass to them, whether they're gonna you're gonna hand the 335 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.640 ball off to them, where they're gonna pass block, possibly 336 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:24.039 you know, picking up somebody that's gonna try and sack 337 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.359 the quarterback. So the running back is in on more 338 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.680 plays or have has more of how should I say it, 339 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:35.559 more of an effect on the play than maybe a 340 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:36.559 wide receiver does. 341 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.039 Playbook is right, observation. They're candy. You're absolutely right. It's 342 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.839 a tough position. It's a tough one and that's why 343 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:50.039 their their length of service is so short, because yeah, 344 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.519 but getting beat up back there, Yeah, there's still valuable, 345 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.400 there's still v Look at what I'm not trying to 346 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.200 just brag about Detroit, but you gotta admit, guys, when 347 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:05.359 they got that that steel Montgomery from the Bears and 348 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:11.799 then they draft, you know, it just was a smooth 349 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.720 transition from a team that didn't have no running game 350 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.960 at all, the Lions, to now one of the best 351 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.000 in the league. But you're right, Candy, they get beat up, 352 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.240 they got a block, they gotta do screen passes, they 353 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.279 gotta protect the quarterback, like. 354 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.240 You said, I mean anything. I mean, it's a. 355 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.039 It is not an easy job. And the wide receivers 356 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.799 what you guys are saying there a diamond dozen. You 357 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.000 just gotta be smart and picked the word the right 358 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.880 ones that are gonna be in the NFL for a 359 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.480 log time. 360 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.759 Yes, them, a lot of them got the attitude problems. 361 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.680 George Prima Donna's look at George Pickens here, we're having 362 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:46.440 issues with him. 363 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:51.240 I mean you look at this Jamison Williams with the Lions. Yeah, 364 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.680 pain in the butt, but he can. 365 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:59.799 Speaking of running back Philadelphi Eagles, Howie Roseman, I don't 366 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.680 think you got this freak. You got rid of Darius 367 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.839 Slave James Bradley, but you signed Barkley for a huge 368 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.559 deal for forty one dollars and I'm an average fan. 369 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.880 I'm a fan of the Steelers, but I don't know, Beth. 370 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.960 But have you guys paid attention to whoever gets big 371 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:26.039 contracts out by hamstring out you get hurt? Good job, Howie. 372 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:33.000 Yeah, yeah, that's a really good question though for another day, 373 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.759 and I'm sorry to interrupt there, but yeah, what what 374 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.839 are the odds that Sakwan repeats the year he has 375 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.519 this year? Granted I don't think he'll rush for two 376 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.640 thousand again, but I don't think he'll fall on much 377 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.960 next year. I don't see it. 378 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:51.720 Ye. 379 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.799 On the offensive line. 380 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.839 They have to change your offensive scheme again because Colin 381 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.680 Moore went to the Saints and we're going to find 382 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.400 out where they go. 383 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:05.640 So the only reason that Eagles will be bad next 384 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:08.519 year is if Sakwan bought them too much Budweiser. When 385 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.079 he bought them all a load of Budweiser, and they're 386 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.920 all too hungover to play. 387 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.599 Going, James Bradley's going, Josh, what's going? All these people 388 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.160 are leaving so well, that's why. 389 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.240 That's why Howie Roseen say our genius because he knows 390 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.920 how to how to do things. Unfortunately that we have 391 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.640 Andy Whitell who's supposed to be a genius too and 392 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.160 put that team together. But why I haven't seen any 393 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.519 results in the last couple of years. 394 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.440 So we'll say nope. 395 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.920 I do want to address something in the chat room. 396 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.000 It's not that it's not that we're ignoring the chat room, 397 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.319 is that the chatroom is not really commenting on the 398 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.160 topic that we were talking about. They're trying to get 399 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.079 us to talk about hockey, and I get that, but 400 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.480 that was the last show we're talking right now NFL, 401 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.039
