[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They needed that part of it. Do I think they maybe overpaid in my hair? Oh, maybe. Okay, but, you know, I do like that. I do like Jack Conklin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Carl Joseph at the safety position is pretty damn good. A quality backup in Case Keenum. And then to keep Kareem Hunt with that second round tender. You know, those are all positives. They really were. This is a team that doesn't need a whole lot. We know they have a lot of good. Uh, I think this kind of just polishes it off to even make them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, make you feel a lot better about the whole roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you there. My number five team will be the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay. And the Philadelphia Eagles, not a lot of moves, not a lot of moves, but quality moves. Again, this is a team that's, you know, got a lot of good as we saw. I mean, they were in the playoffs last year. You know, we're a banged up team all year too, and still got into the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think when I really look at it, first off, I like the re-signing of Rodney McLeod. I'm a huge Rodney McLeod fan. Honestly think he's better than Malcolm Jenkins at this point of his career. He's been a little banged up, and that's really the issue with him here as of late. But to me, that was a great signing, alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jalen Mills, another good player, value signing. But then, Javon Hargrave to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of the gems of free agency. This would have been a guy that I would have thrown on, you know, the old Robin Hood that we talk about where I would just gone, yeah, he's not getting a lot of noise, but this is one of the best interior defense alignment in football. When you want a guy to take on double teams and make a mosh pit, you know, in the middle of a run game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jovan Hargraves, your dude, it's gonna free-float your cocks up to do more. You know, Malik Jackson to do more. I think that was huge. And then, to trade for Darius Slay. I mean, Darius Slay is hands down one of the ten best corners in football. I mean, I think you could argue he's top five. You know, if somebody said, hey Chris, I think he's top five, I woulda go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not crazy, I'm okay with that. I don't know if you'd make my top 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A huge need at that position. They're past defense, they are, they are limited in people that can cover people man to man. And Darius, like, can live on an island. So I love those two signings, let alone the other ones we talked about. Uh, to me, it just, they were big time moves that really change and help their football team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, uh, I got no issue with it. They're not gonna make my top five. They were in my honorable mention list, right, that I had written down here for possible teams I could put in my top five. I eventually didn't do it. I mean, those are three huge moves, like you said. They're game changers. They are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Phillip Rivers, you know, again, you made the right point. I mean, the offensive line's not been very good in front of him. This is going to be the best offensive line he's ever played in, or behind, I should say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the system fit with Frank Reich and, you know, his old, uh, coach from, from the Chargers being out there as well. That all makes sense. Now it is Philip Rivers. He is old and I did see, you know, a lot of blemishes in his play this year too. And I think that's ultimately like that and overpaying to Forrest Buckner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And giving away the 13th pick forward, I think just kind of left me off. Like I know it, they improved their team, they had the money to do it, but I just feel like some other teams made some better moves and that's why I didn't put them on. But I hear you there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll see, we'll see, and maybe not, maybe it doesn't cost him, and Rivers is awesome, and Buckner dominates, and Costanza, like you said, I mean, this is, you know, he's a left tackle where you don't have to worry about helping him, and that's a huge advantage for any team. Alright, my number four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm going to a team, a little, I'm going to a team like you didn't make a ton of moves, but the moves they made, man, I think they're game-changed. I'm going to the Baltimore Ravens, okay? Baltimore Ravens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on down to Baltimore, because there's a place for you. And that's what they do. I mean, Kaleus Campbell is one of the biggest humans ever on Earth, still a really good player. You get him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Brockers, a really awesome interior defense alignment too, with like interior, like he can play three technique, D tackle or DN. So he's really two positions in one and that's the same for Kaleus Campbell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the Baltimore Ravens had a good defensive line as we know, but they had no difference makers other than Matt Judon. And bam, right off the bat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get two guys that are disrupters, difference makers, fit within the scheme, all of that. So I love that. Let alone they franchise tag Matt Judon. They couldn't let him go. He's the best pass rusher they got by far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, get Matskura back, who's a center, certainly good for their offensive line. But then the big, another big one, you know, that I think is kind of flying under the radar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They traded away Hayden Hurst for a second round pick. You know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, you know, that was smart by them. Hayden Hurst is a good football player, but they got really good tight ends there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They realize like, damn, we're probably gonna have to pay this Max Williams kid who's, I mean, uh, not Max Williams, uh, the damn kid from, uhm, Oklahoma. Man, I'm blanking on his name, the damn tight end. Holy cow, it's gonna drive. We need Pete. We need Pete right now. I'm going to have to pull up his, uh, pull up, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pull up his name, it's driving me crazy. What the hell is his name? I'm blanking out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball went off his, uh, hands in the, the, the playoff game. Uhm, Mark Andrews, thank you very much, you stupid Chris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, they know they have a, a plethora of players at the position already and they knew he was expendable and they got some worth for him right now. So then there's the Ravens again with, you know, gosh, what do they got now? Two second round picks and a first, so they got three picks, you know, in the top 60 or, or so that's pretty damn impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, well and just to be so clarified for everybody out there, like, they have picked 28, picked 55, and picked 60 now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay. I mean, it's a little high for me, but I'm, I'm with you there. I like what they've done so far. You know, they're, they're a team again that made the, uh, the honorable mention list for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're always going to make, when you get, like, come on, when you go on to get a difference maker like DeAndre Hopkins, you know, I don't care what I think all the time. I mean, hey, they got a guy that they really valued. They got a young quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and they're, they're going for it, and they're gonna try to make him, you know, look successful. He's the main guy, but you're, I mean, the Kenyon Drake thing, amazing to acquire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to get rid of the David Johnson contract, Jordan Phillips, really underrated defensive tackle they signed, who's gonna help their defensive line out, so, I'm not mad at you, I think you're a little high there, like not literally, just high on them as a, but just a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm gonna go my number three, the chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's some rumors out there that, you know, they're, they're tossing around the idea. So that would be really interesting to find out regardless. But the thing I like about the chargers as I get back to task here is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had real issues. Offensive line for sure, okay? Uhm, and that's where I want to start. I mean, first off, to trade and get Trey Turner, who's a very good guard, been to a bunch of Pro Bowls, great job there. Then, to sign-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he is a really big positional need for them. And yes, I don't think he's as awesome as everybody thinks he is because I think a lot of people are just going, well, he's made the pro, he's, he's young and he's made the pro bowl the last few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeaah, he's very good, I get it, but I'm not gonna like say he's one of the best guards in football. He's a good guard, he's certainly an improvement. Brian Bulaga, to get him!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sign Linville Joseph. They need help on their interior run defense. That's been an issue there. Hunter Henry franchised. Hey, that's a great thing. Uh, I mean, he's got a potential to be a top tier tight end. And then Chris Harris Jr. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you need to have a great defense if you're in the IFC West. You're not going to win shootouts against Patrick Mahomes, so you better get a defense that can maybe slow them down and do that. And I think they did a lot of great things, not only to help their offensive line, but to help the defense out too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you know what? I did see that. And that's a good one too. There's no doubt. Devondre Campbell, I think he sounded, I saw what? A one year, eight million dollar deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, tall, long, extremely athletic. You know, I could see he's probably not happy of some of the long-term deals he got offered. So he said, screw you. I'll sign a one-year deal ball out so I can get a big deal next year. And I think he's got the potential to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not mad at you there. There's a lot to like about Tyrod Taylor. Listen, he does a lot of good things. He can make plays, he's got a big arm, you know, he can scramble. Yeah, at times I think he's a little conservative, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To where, you know, I use the phrase sometimes as a guy that won't win you games but won't lose you games either. Now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their team, the way it's built, is built to play that way. And that's fine. He fits that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I understand that. Plus, you know, he was on a team that was like this a few years ago, the Buffalo Bills, except the Chargers have more weapons than the Bills did on the offensive side of the ball. So I think he can do more. You know, I don't even know if I mentioned Austin Eckler and the resigning him. That was a great job by them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know Anthony Lynn, you just gotta remember, he's a running, he's a run, ex running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wants to run the ball, you know, they have a defense that's top five in football and then they, they've improved it here. So I think that's the way they're going to play. I think they're going to be that type of team that goes, our defense is good. Tyra Taylor won't mess up. We're going to run the ball. We're going to take some shots down the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, they're gonna be perfectly happy playing games to win like 20 to 17. That's what I think the Chargers are opting to do right now, and I get that, and I hear your points, and I root for Tyrod Taylor too, he's a great guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you know, you're trying to build something there, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First off, Brian Flores comes from New England. And you know, what do they value in New England? What are we seeing right now? Secondary play. He puts a lot of pressure on his corners. I know people out there are going, man, they overpaid for Byron Jones. No, they didn't. They didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just telling you, anybody that's watched Byron Jones and studied him, when he is healthy, you go, that is definitely one of the five best corners in football. He is special that way. And they put a lot of pressure on their corner. So him and Xavier and Howard, I mean, they're going to be in the convo for the best duo in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that's special to me. You know, you want a guy like Kyle Vannoy. I don't know why like everybody's mad at Kyle Vannoy being paid now. You know, when he was in New England, he's awesome. Oh, he's great. He's great. He's great. And then somebody else pays him and everybody's like, why would they pay him that much money? Well, you've been telling me he's great for the last two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well, I don't think he's gonna lose his magic. I think this guy, and he's going to a place that's gonna run a Patriot defense, and they're gonna use him the same way. He's a good player. He can do everything. Defense and middle linebacker, outside linebacker. He's great on special teams. He's a playmaker. And then, you know, Eric Flowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that. Eric Flowers, he's found a niche at guard. I mean, or tackle, whatever they want to play, but he's, he's, he's resurrected his career. He definitely has. To where I like that signing, and they didn't have to pay huge, huge money. But it's the other two, these other two, Shaq Lawson, Emmanuel Agba.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are, you know, again, not household names. I'm not a sitting here expecting Ahmed Farid to know like what they look like or what they do. Yeah, I hear you. I'm Johnny film guy though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these guys have size and versatility on the defensive line, which we know is the New England Brian Flores way. So I think they're great system fits, culture fits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're really gonna help their football team. I think they've killed it in free agency. I don't give a shit how much money they spend on corners. You know, that's what the strength of how you coach the need to be successful and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm all for having strengths of a team at times. You know, because then it just can cancel out factors. You know, they're gonna play defense where they're gonna go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you're outside receivers, they're f***ed. Don't even think about it. And now that's gonna pin teams to go, ooh, we gotta work the middle of the field, or we gotta run, and Brian Flores is gonna know that. And then he's in the design of defense with nine other guys to f*** that up. So that's where I like that when teams kinda go in on one position. I don't think it's crazy what they're doing there, I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so, yeaah, I-I'm, uh, I-I'm-I'm with you. You know, and there was another point I was gonna make and I totally blanked out on it and I can't remember what I was gonna say. What else did you say there? The free agency point? There was another point- Oh! Here's the other point with the dolphins that people are missing too. You know-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got a ton of draft picks. They're gonna have a ton of guys on rookie contracts. So they can afford to overpay these people. You know, they have some young stars on their team from last year where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they can, they're, they're young and draft picks. So they're going to have a lot of guys on their roster on rookie contracts, which can allow them to maybe spend a little bit extra money for some of these veterans. And I got no problem with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think, you know, again, the way they're improving the defense though, it sets up for a young quarterback to where you go, okay, we can have a young quarterback in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we don't need him to win the game right from get go. Sure. You know, so maybe that's the way they're looking at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either way, they've improved their defense and even for Ryan Fitzpatrick. We know they got some, you know, they got a little potential in offense. We'll see how they do with the Shane Gailey thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it makes it to where if they want to ride with Ryan Fitzpatrick and have the rookies sit behind them for a year or two, to where you don't have to put the pressure on Ryan Fitzpatrick to win you games either. And so I get what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Chris Greer, they're gonna build something here in Miami. I have no doubt about that. They're just too smart, they understand the game, and I got a lot of faith in them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeaah, I think if we remade their image, for sure, they win that one. They do. It's awesome. I mean, I'm pumped for it. I really am. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's still great. You know, nothing that bad. And I love the Brady thing. I get it. I just felt like there was other teams out there. I get what you're saying though. I mean, it changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt about it. So, okay, I mean, I'm not mad at you, you know, you're-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you're a fame whore. You're a fame whore. That's all it is. And you just, even Tom Brady, he's the most famous guy. I'm going to go with him. I get it. I get it. You're such a whore that way. My number one though is another team that, wait, I think you had them. I don't know if you had them on your list or not. Actually now I'm blanking out the Buffalo Bills. No, I didn't have. They were in my honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, I'm going with the Buffalo Bills. You know, one...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blood is in the water, okay? You know, like we talked about earlier, New England is there to be had right now. The AFC East is there to be had. You gotta go for it. I hear a lot of people going, oh man, you know, they gave away a lot for Stefan Diggs. Okay, you know, I get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they needed to make a drastic move. They needed to get a legit number one receiver or weapon around Josh Allen. And they found a guy that obviously they liked, and I think really fits their system and scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Brian Dayball was working in New- I know New England love digs coming out of the draft. Dayball was there in New England at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's day balls, the offensive coordinator, the Bills now. So I think it makes sense. And I think people too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are overvaluing what the vikings got. You know, listen. Okay, they got a first. Well, let me just make sure I get this right here. They got a first. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A first, a second, a third, even a fourth round, I look at it and I open my eyes up. When I hear fifth and sixth round, I don't look at it and go, oh my gosh, they got-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got the first and the fifth and sixth round? Holy shit, they fleeced them! Whoa! No, I just don't feel that excited about those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no doubt about it, they can pick their team in the situation that they think suits them best to where they can be successful. So no, I think, you know, the success rate of second, third, fourth rounders, you know, last I looked or saw anything and I can't remember exact numbers, it's pretty damn good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if memory serves me correct, the later round picks, it's not as good as far as success rate on what they do. So, you know, they gave a first and a fourth round pick and then they threw in a fifth and sixth with it. Okay, great. I don't know. I don't think that's that expensive if you think that's your guy and they obviously do. So that, okay. I love that. You know, let me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, okay, so, and, you know, I'm about to get to it. The other thing, too, I just want to mention to button up that trade thing. I'm going to go right to where you're going. It's just, again, too, we got to remember, Stefan Diggs has signed up. I mean, he's signed up. You got to remember, there's great value in that, and he's only getting $12 and $13 million a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, we're not paying them huge money? So I think they looked at that. Now, your question is, you know, hey yes, does Josh Allen need some improvement accuracy wise? Certainly, I get that. It's not perfect yet. We saw a lot of special from him too. Diggs to me is the perfect fit there for this reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Julian Edelman, Wes Welker type stuff that a New England offense will ask you. So he's got value in the slot as a precise route runner to what you're saying. He's a great route runner. So he's really going to be able to do a lot of different things in this offense. And I think it's an offense that really will be able to utilize all his talents. That's where I think it's special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I also hear people, oh, Josh Allen down the field accuracy. Who the hell's he had to throw to down field?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, again, I know John Brown can run. John Brown's like 5'8". He's not exactly like a big target. Alright? And there's a reason John Brown's been on three different teams. He's not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how nobody talks about him when he's on other teams. And then he goes with Josh Allen and people are like, he's got John Brown. I want to be like, yeah, you mean the guy that's been on three different teams in four years. I get it. He's good, but he's not like the superstar. I think it fits well. Uh, sorry, I'm rambling. And then, and then just the hit on the other ones. I like, you know, they got some of those value guys. I like Mario Addison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defense and pass rusher. You know, solid 8 to 10 sacks a year type of guy. Quinton Jefferson from the Seattle Seahawks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defensive end, defensive tackle, you know, just an ass kicker. Never gonna have sexy stats on it, but just really an ass kicker. The kind of guy you gotta have on your team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Vernon Butler, who was an ex-first round pick on the Carolina Panthers when Sean McDermott was still down there as a D coordinator. He's got familiarity with him. He's a guy that has potential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When coached right and maybe prodded the right way to where I go, ooh, you know, he's huge and he's athletic. He could be a game changer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I look at some of those and then getting Josh Norman too, who still has some value for a pretty affordable price. I just look at that and I think Buffalo won free agency because of that. Tough call. A lot of good teams out there, but I'm going with Buffalo as my champ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hear that. I'm with you. That's the way I think about it, too. You know, and hey, talk about the Arizona thing, too, just real quick, because I hear a lot of people going like, oh, Bill O'Brien got fleeced in that one, right? You know, people look at it and just go, man, they gave Deandre hot, you know, one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you gotta, again, people gotta take in the contract conversation in these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm sure Billy O'Brien and the Texans already have inklings that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DeAndre Hopkins was gonna ask for 20 to 22 million dollars a year. And they went, damn, we gotta pay Deshaun Watson maybe this year, next year for sure. Can we really do all of that? You know, so they had to make a decision there. They obviously valued David Johnson maybe higher than the public does. David Johnson's still good. And it's not like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My guy, man, I love Nook. Nook is a great dude and, you know, receivers, we know they all kinda got some D.Va in them, but for a top end receiver, I think he's got about as little D.Va in him as you're gonna find at that position. I'm a huge fan of D.Hop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, in the forest! With lots of green around me! That's what I like! I plan on having lots of green on me, around me tonight! Ahmet!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but no, that's the kind of guys I'm talking about when we talk about like this whole topic. It's guys that didn't get any like media attention, notoriety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's not a household name, Michael Brockers, but just a guy that's been, you know, an absolute ass-kicker, uh, the last few years. So you mentioned Jordan Phillips of the Arizona Cardinals. That would be one guy right off the bat that jumps out to me. All right. DJ Reader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cincinnati bangles. I know you've heard me talk about them before, but when you talk about some of the best


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nose tackles, shade nose tackles, and all of football. DJ Reader is one of those guys. To me, that was a great signing by the Cincinnati Bengals. Four years, $53 million, not gonna ever have a lot of sacks, not gonna ever have a lot of tackles, but he's gonna make a mess of things for opposing offenses, and that's his real value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ashawn Robinson, Los Angeles Rams. Rams are kind of, hey, as we know, they're kind of retooling their team right now. Ashawn played in Detroit. I think he was kind of in and out of the doghouse with Matt Patricia a lot. But man, big, huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Athletic human being who I've seen enough for me to go, ooh, he gets coached right and gets in a place that, you know, maybe he likes better or whatever. I would say watch out for him. I mean, I always thought he was special coming out of Alabama and I think he was pretty damn good when he did play up in Detroit. So I like that a lot. All right. Uhm, those are my three D tackles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jimmy Ward with the 49ers, you mentioned him in your top 5. Like, Jimmy Ward...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he flies around the field that I just don't think he clinic gets the attention and value he should out there. And I think they got him in a pretty affordable deal. I mean, what was it? Three years, 28 million, something like that. You know, for that Seattle defense, you're playing, you need a guy in that backend who can fly around like Earl Thomas. He's there. Earl Thomas. Um, another safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean Davis from Pittsburgh went to the Washington Redskins. Man. Sean Davis is a special athlete. Him paired up with Landon Collins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, I just would go watch out. Sean Davis is one of those guys on med that I get, like Jimmy Ward or a honey badger can really do everything. Was a college corner that got moved to safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to me, great tackler, great speed and athleticism. He's gonna change around that defense in Washington. You know, it's a one year, five million dollar deal if I remember correctly, but big time there. Uhm, and then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two more I got, alright. One, this is a bigger name. Robert Quinn of the Bears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why, but I feel like people in Chicago are down on it. And I wanna go, why? I mean, Robert Quinn with Akeem Hicks and Eddie Goldman and Khalil Mack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry everybody out there, he's better than Leonard Floyd. Leonard Floyd might have been younger, okay, and maybe a little more versatile in the things he could do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you want a pure pass rusher, Robert Quinn's still special. I mean, Robert Quinn was the best pass rusher on the Cowboys last year. He was better than Demarcus Lawrence. And they didn't pay like huge money for him. So that was one where I don't understand the negative


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this team's always got Robin Hoods. It's Demir Bird, alright, receiver that the Patriots signed from Arizona, who got hurt a little last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But early on in the year, it was kinda like Kyler Murray's go-to guy. To me, he's perfect New England material. Can just do everything. He's not gonna be a superstar, but he'll be one of those guys next year we look up and go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, who is this Demir Bird guy? Where'd they find him? He's really good. He just puts the mold to me. Uh, so there's my, my, my list of Robin Hood so far here in Free Agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I like that. He's physical. He's a thumper. They needed more of that type of a, you know, he's athletic still, but I think he plays the run better and with a more aggressive downhill style than they had in Blake Martinez who left and got signed by the Giants. So I'm with you. That was one that jumped out to me too, Ahmed. I like that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, interior disruptor like that. You know, so that's gonna be, you know, they got some guys and like Demarcus Walker and there's another player I'm, I'm forgetting about that I like who, you know, oh, uh, they got, they drafted a kid from Ohio State last year who have potential, but you know, again, you know, I think what you're seeing too there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First off, you know, to only trade a seventh round pick, you know, for Jarrell Casey, all it was is if you like the player and you got the money, he's good for you. So he fits them. But what we're seeing in the AFC West...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Broncos improved their defense. And you go, wow, Broncos, you know, Casey, you know, Von Miller, Bradley Chubb's going to be back next year. You start to look at that front four and you go, holy crap, that's good. Chargers have improved their defense. Raiders have improved their defense. And I think that's all the Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes factor going on out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my uniform is better. You know, that, that jersey they got there is ugly. So I got a little, and they're supposedly going to change back to a jersey that's similar to the one I'm wearing, which I think Brady will look really good in. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, it's not the jerk, yeah, his face is photoshopped. That's Josh McCown, I think, when he was on the Buccaneers and they put Brady's face on there. That would be my guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some of it. Half and half, right. I think I can see exactly where his neck and then it goes to Josh McCowns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's on my list. I mean, I wrote as uhm, what did I wrote? I made that my number three thing. Free food, free food, free drinks. There are some great restaurants in town. Burn steakhouse. The Brady family needs to go there. That's a staple of Tampa Bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, when you're the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, if you call Burns on a Friday night at 730 and they tell you you have no seats and then you say, and then they go, who is this? And I go, this is Chris Sims. They go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Mr. Sims, hold on a second. And then all of a sudden they have a table for you? That's a perk of being a starting quarterback. No doubt about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, yes, I have this as my number five, as far as night life, okay? Because I might have split this up. What you might be thinking, I've kinda split this up here a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightlife? I do, I do. But as far as just getting into the cool club in the town, uh, you know, the cool night spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best strip clubs, okay, there's many of them in Tampa. Alright, that's maybe the nightlife you were referring to. You definitely don't, you're not going to have to wait online. Alright, and they're usually going to give you a really good seat or spot in the club or the strip club. So yes, that did make my list. That was number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, all of it is prefaced around the fans though. That's where, you know, everything I have here on my list is pretty much because of the fandom there. People don't realize it is a awesome football town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe there's not a bunch of millionaires and billionaires walking around to where everybody can have season tickets all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, you know, I think that adds, because you see the stadium and people go, Oh, it's not full. What's going on there? You know, okay. So maybe there's not that great wealth everywhere, but man, they love their bucks. They love them. They love football. Florida is a football state, high school, college football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Tampa's not far from the University of Florida, right, which is SEC country, which is psycho football fans. That's the kind of environment you gotta remember. You're not too far down the road from that type of guy. It is amazing fan base. So sorry that didn't make my list though, even though it's kind of encompassing on all my answers here because I was spoiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of these things because the fans were great and therefore it helped me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. And never had that, like, star quarterback. That's where they're, they're, they're thirsty for this. You know, when I was down there and lost my spleen, the Bucks got very involved in the Brett Favre conversation, the year he picked up the New York Jets. You know, they wanted that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That franchise superstar type quarterback, uh, and they got it, and I'm telling you, they're gonna roll out, he's gonna be the king of that city, the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he's gonna be shocked with how much people love the sport and the Bucks and are so passionate about it. So yeaah, sorry that didn't make my list, but I guess if I went to go into order, my number four thing about being the starting quarterback in Tampa Bay would be, you know, a little like the restaurant thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can find a tee time anytime you want, any golf course, any tee time, any golf course. I didn't play a ton of golf, but you know, when I did,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I had a friend with me or teammates with me, Hey Chris, you want to go play golf? Yeah, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eric, you know, they've asked me like, all right, so where do you want to go play? I'd be like, I don't know. You're the one invited me. And you know, I had a few teammates every now and then be like, well, can I call this place and name drop you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'd be like, okay dude, fine, go ahead. You know, so you definitely have, uh, that ability to kind of get on any golf course you want when you're the starting quarterback. Brady will be able to do that in his free time. If the family's not there and enjoy it for sure. Some good golf courses around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's Florida. There's a lot of girls with very limited clothing on, as you can imagine, especially in the summertime, alright? And when I was single, you know, hey, I came from the University of Texas where people were always like, man, you were the quarterback of Texas. That's really cool. Hey, that was really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm just telling you, when you're the starting quarterback of an NFL franchise, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, people know you're getting paid a lot of money too. Uh, the, the woman, you know, 99 problems, but a woman wasn't one. Okay. All right. And my wife, I hope she doesn't listen to this podcast because she's not gonna work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, good, good. And then number one was just the mon- I just went the money. I mean the money when you're the starting quarterback is pretty, you know, kinda hard to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does go farther in Tampa. Uh, you're right. It's not a totally crazy expensive town. You can have a lot of fun there, but you're right. I guess that didn't really count. So that wasn't that good of a number one. Uh, you know what? Another, I'll just say this because we're going too long. We've got to end this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the coolest things though, I really ever about being the Tampa Bay starting quarterback, which is not long for me, but man, the off season after we went to the playoffs, they put a huge like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A poster on the side of the stadium that was probably like five stories tall of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was one of those things where when I first saw that, I pulled over to the side of the road and was like, damn, I made it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I've gotten to where I want to go, and that was really cool to be noti- you know, notarized as, hey, this is one of the faces of our franchise, and that was a moment where I- yeaah, I would- would admire that quite often, uh, you know, in-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it, baby. Uhm, alright, we good? We got everything done? We got everything in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, good. Well, we're gonna continue next week. I think we're gonna go Tuesday, Thursday for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to be in the office. I've been granted permission because of Pro Football Talk. It's going to be limited people around me, but that will start back up normal on Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Podcast, probably Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Wednesday, maybe being that film deep dive. Not sure about that yet, cause not sure how many people are gonna be in the building here in NBC. But Ahmed, it was great to see your beautiful, handsome face. It really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Barry Sanders. And I didn't hear your kids yell once during the rest of the podcast which I'm disappointed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to cover the microphone a couple times, they got, they got loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I covered it up. I was probably talking too much, but everybody else out there be good. Hope we entertained you for a while. We'll be back again to break all the news and football. What's going on? Going to get into some draft stuff next week. I've been watching these quarterbacks on film. It's going to be interesting. Anything else you want to add there, big guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. Alright. Peace out everybody. Ahmed, you the man. Say hi to the family. Have a good weekend everybody. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Wash your ass. Peace out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo yo, what's up? Come on man, subscribe on YouTube to Chris Simms Unbuttoned Podcast. I need you, please hit the subscribe button, please!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it was a month ago or two months ago, but you were complimenting Russell Wilson and you said, I just wish they would help him a little more because it's kind of like all him. But now with the formations they're running and they're running the ball, they're getting him under center in shotgun. I'm watching and wondering is Chris thinking, yes, they are giving him the help I wanted him to have. Definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mentioned using 6 offensive linemen, and for those of you watching on YouTube, you can see this along with us. Seahawks using 6 offensive linemen, the first 11 games, uh, it didn't happen very often. Right. And now, week 13 against Minnesota. Yeaah. 32 times? 32 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, had some really nice catches already. Yes, he did, right? Not like into the body, eat me up, just like snag it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're running the ball well. The quarterback's an MVP candidate and they are used to being in games that come right down to the fourth ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a team that's easy and I'm not from there. You're right. I don't necessarily like them or hate them. I just, I watch them, but that's a team that in January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday, in the previous three weeks, they didn't work that well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a defense to prevent happening to them, what Jerigoff did to Arizona this weekend. Yeaah. They just lined up, they know that's coming. Yeaah. Hey, for the first 10 seconds, we're just gonna line up. Just walk around. Walk around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then my next question is, why didn't they watch more of the Baltimore-Chicago-Pittsburgh game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those three games, and this is, I had to go back and, I'm not that good at math, I had to go back and double and triple check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you add up, okay, we're talking about three games with the Rams offense. You add up number of Rams wins in those three games. And don't look at it. And number of golf touchdown passes. Oh, I'm not going to look at that in the Rams. It's a plus plus. So wins, golf touchdown passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Previous three games, against the Ravens, the Bears, and the Steelers. Okay. If you take the Ram wins, as a team, the golf touchdown passes, and put those two numbers together, what's the total?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's going on with the Chiefs offense? And it could be, hey, they've been awesome. Yeah. Or you could throw up a flag and say, I'm not sold on these guys right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we normally don't spin it forward and talk about what we think might happen this coming weekend, but because we're talking about how teams are defending with success or without success, because they are playing the Patriots this weekend, what do you think Bill will do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that he would not show his best this weekend to save it for January?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you let it ride with a giant $5? You wanna do it? Yea, I'll take the over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete D just told me a question you asked, or maybe, maybe it's not answering a question, but it's kinda about layering the information. Right. 40 picks. 40 picks, 20 sacks. Sorry. Charles Woodson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a new section. Yeah. You wanna do it? Yeah, let's do it. Okay, Playoff Contender Word Association. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have the words, your names. Alright, I'm gonna bounce them off you. You just tell me what you think. Ryan Tannehill and Derek


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete D just gave me another great piece of information. Yeaah. You want it? Yeaah. Alright. It's not trivia. Right. It's a confirmation of a word. Maximization is a word. It is a word. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make up my own words. It's a nice way to end that one. Yes. Alright, moving on. Play of Contender Word Association. Josh Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see, or take notice of, and I know you did. Yeah. It was one of my favorite highlights when he was kind of rolling out to his right a little bit and kind of threw it back on the end round a little. It was the one that ended up scoring the touchdown. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the Cole Beasley one. That's the kind where, I mean, you've been eating all day, but you still sit up and be like, whoa. Whoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at this, yea, at this point in Buffalo, it's special. It's the move to head coach to prevent him from being too much of himself. Yes, right. If he's thrown it 40 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like previously, it was terrible for a while. It was terrible. And they couldn't attack down the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only a two game sample size when you talk about him starting. Right. Uh, and I'm watching him and trying to think of the right way to like delicately but accurately describe who he is. It's like, he's cautious, but he's not afraid. I think that's a great way to say it. He knows his role. He does. He doesn't need to throw for 300, but when it's time for him to cut it loose, he'll do it. He don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked you, Josh Allen, the importance on the team, what are the best parts of the team? You said third, McDermott the defense, and then the quarterback. Yeah. Duck Hodges right now. Oh. Where's he rank on that team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if he's only, if you're a defensive coordinator, and I make you a number of different things here, now you're defensive coordinator, but how worried are you about him during the week if he's only doing it a couple times a game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not like one of these throws where you throw it lesser than the line to gain, but you can hit him in stride and he can run. He had stopped and was going to set up his back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's bring his ass in here. Before he comes out, let's take a listen to the owner of the Carolina Panthers, David Tepper, about the decision to let Ron Rivera go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was back and forth between the winning and losing. It may be a little stale. As someone who grew up there, and loves the team, you down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exact same thing. Nine years, defensive head coach, three winning seasons, all in the double-digit era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the 7 and 9 and 6 and 10 seasons too. So it's 18 years of basically the same path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only knew it after I knew Josh was coming on. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, just a coincidence that he's from Charlotte and Ron Rivera got fired. So basically the theme here is good offensive stars against good defenses here as the playoffs start. Okay, Chiefs offense at New England, fantasy advice, football talk, what do you have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I'm glad you got that in because we're moving on. Right. Fantasy headlines, Cowboys offense at Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saved the best one for last year. Oh baby! Alright, because it involves the Niners defense. Yeaah. Yep. Saints offense. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What should be kept in mind from a fantasy point of view about this matchup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I set the over or under for Saints points, 28. Over or under, what do we got? I would have to go under on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haven't they gone Seattle, Green Bay, Baltimore? Does that sound right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was told by multiple people in this building, it looks very Chris Sims of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what this is? This just happens, and I'm sure you both can say this, like eight or nine years with one team, it just happens. And especially when someone is of the mindset of Ron Rivera, a defensive-minded head coach, and the defense just falls off a cliff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think it's for personnel reasons, because I understand K-1 short has missed much of the season. Don Terry Poe the last few weeks. We still have Luke Keighley, we still have Shaq Thompson, first round pick in Vernon Butler, Eric Reid got a contract extension, James Bradberry, Dante Jackson,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's still players on that defense. And to me, the, the personnel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the defense side, it's individuals was much greater than the sum of the results. Yeah, I agree. That's a major issue. Right. And when you're a defensive head coach. Right. Right. And the other part of this is that since 1995, the team has never had an offensive minded head coach. No, they haven't. And this is also what happens when billionaire spends billions of dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great things, yeaah. So I would be surprised if the next head coach is not younger, is not offensive minded. But this is a major trickle down in a lot of ways. And I think it's very smart of what David Tepper did. Because he didn't come in immediately and just clean house. Like he did that on the business side, but on the football side, he kind of let it play out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say his last two years have been bad, necessarily. But if Ron Rivera was going to be a good head coach, he would have allowed him to be a good head coach. I am surprised that he and Marty Herney aren't kind of tied in this relationship. Sounds like Marty Herney is still going to have his job after this season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Ron would get very defensive about this. He got very defensive about this in his press conference earlier today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you can say he's never had a back-to-back winning season, but they did win three straight NFC South championships. One of those was a 7-8-1. And so he says they're the first ones to do that in the NFC South. He's been very defensive about it. I do think Runniver gets an immediate job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because at the very least what you ask of your head coach is to instill an identity of a team. And I think he can do that no matter where he goes. Because, I mean, he's hard-nosed, he's kind of a general out there, and I think they take on his identity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biggest thing here is a lot of people are pointing at the current Cam Newton contract. It's like 19 or 20 million dollars. Nothing guaranteed after that for 2020. Right. And right now that's without all these big deals that are gonna happen this off season. That's around like quarterback 14, which is a bargain. Bargain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, there is no way, either for the Panthers, or for another team Kim Newton plays on that contract. Now a lot of people are going to say, well he has no leverage. He's injured, he's about to have foot surgery. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna be paid by someone. Someone's gonna give him two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not that long ago. I mean, last year, the first eight games were fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it would be a mistake to move on but if they are doing a hard reset all the way around I guess it makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I ask you a question? Yes. Because, Norvis stepping down as offensive coordinator, he's giving Scott Turner, his son, play calling duties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people, fantasy-wise, are nervous how this affects someone like DJ Moore, how this affects Trisha McCaffrey. Is it something we just can't know? Because we've never seen him call plays, we've never seen what his resume might be. It's probably going to be very similar to his dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a big deal. Uhm, the last two weeks, Patch for Homes has thrown for less than 200 passing yards. Yeaah. Uhm, we documented that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sure I'll reiterate some of the things that you talked about. Yeah, good. I wanna hear this. But, I mean, last week, it's not really fair because they just dominated the Oakland Raiders. Yes. But still, we care about numbers. Right. We care about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so now when you face someone like Terry Kill and Travis Kelce, you're still playing those stars, no matter what, and you're still playing Patchmer Holmes, but Chris, I wanna ask you this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm a little intrigued by Darwin Thompson, who knows what his workload is going to be at all. But he's got a little talent. But if he is someone, because he's shown in the preseason. Right. And if he's someone that, because of all these injuries to Damian and Darryl Williams. Right. If he can get ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15 touches attached to this awesome offense. That's something you definitely want to at least pick up right now for your fantasy playoffs. Yeaah. Not necessarily start them, but just have them on your bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and this is off that loss to Buffalo, which kind of makes me rethink my entire opinion on the Dallas Cowboys in some ways, and it's also off that loss to the New England Patriots where they just put up seven points. Right. It's interesting because talk about volume all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Volume isn't necessarily what I look for in quarterbacks, I look for efficiency, but Dax getting a ton of volume over his last, I believe, four games, he's averaging 44 attempts. Uhm. It's too much. And I was going to ask you. It could be 34, especially with Zeke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know you've been critical, and I have too, of Ezekiel Elliott this year in terms of his ability to break 20, 30, 40 yard runs, which are kind of non-existent this year. I thought his first half against the Buffalo Bills might be the best we've seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I know a lot of people look at the Chicago Bears who they have here in week 14, the first round of the fantasy playoffs. And I think people still have this mindset of the Bears last season. Yeaah. Which is kind of the Patriots this year. Well, to me this is why you don't build a team around historic defenses year to year, because it's not sticky. It can't be translated year to year. Sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, because turnover is a lot of luck. It is, it is. And so with the Bears this year, they, I'm not going to say they're a mediocre defense, but I'm not going to say they're a great defense. I would say they're somewhere in between. Right. And so much of it is, you know, a half second from Cleo Matt getting home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Eddie Jackson not coming down with 10 interceptions or whatever it is this season. Sure. And we also saw them go against David Blau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you have Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and even Randall Cobb's coming along. I'm not gonna say I'm starting him with confidence. Sounds like you are. But I can absolutely see a path here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think, what do you think this game means for Zeke? I still think he's gonna get, I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a major difference. And when the Bears have really struggled, and this just makes sense, but when they go against great offensive lines. And while I'm not sure Tyron Smith is playing at 100% or that whole offensive line is playing at 100%,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And especially what we saw with Zeke against Buffalo, it would be surprising if we don't see him get 15, 18, 20 touches in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you want to miss Andras Pete at guard, and most likely Toron Amstel at left tackle. Because what the 49ers throw at you in their rotation and their talent along that front four, front five, whatever you want to call it, is unreal. And they have allowed some points to Kyler Murray at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lamar Jackson at times. Some other mobile quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson. Okay, Drew Brees isn't mobile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I also think they have two players that have been major difference makers for them. One on each side of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offensively, it's Jared Cook, and what he's bringing intermediate

[Assistant] And in the middle of the field. Yea, he's come on lately. Just that one extra weapon. Right. On top of Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas. Yep. And then defensively Marcus Davenport. This is why they traded up for him in the draft. And just having again that one extra playmaker on both sides of the ball is really making me confident about the Saints team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kamara and I would still go with Jared Cook though. And we talked about this prior to the season, tight end is still a complete wasteland. Like it, there's only really eight tight ends that actually matter in fantasy football. And if you're in the bottom four, you probably haven't made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys for talking about Tastyle before this. It has been common to, on NFL Twitter, to, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they just hated, and Chris might agree with this, they hated that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With inside the 10 yard line, why do you want to take the ball out of Drew Brees' hands? Oh, of course, right. And why do you want to put it in a limited player's hands? Because you have a Hall of Famer who might, who's most likely going to make the right decision no matter what you put in front of him versus Taysom Hill who's a limited player. And it happened quite a bit. Yeaah. Happened quite a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How dare you. Who do you think goes further this season? Because this might be an NFC championship showdown. No doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell your buddy Kyle just to pick one running back, please. It would really help someone like me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, it just couldn't happen any other way. The way they just all went over to one side and I was just like, I know exactly where I'm going. Snap the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some people might be coming on the film, some people coming off, like I was just kinda like, ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, baby, what up? Yo, yo, yo, Chris Simms on button, Ahmed Fareed, he claims you ran a 4.8, I think he might have run a 4.8, but he fell off of a cliff to run that time, not buying it at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that right? Okay, well we'll see. I gotta see you actually move or do something first before I make any judgments on your athletic ability. We got a good one today, okay? We got some news to hit around the NFL. We know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to hit on the AJ Bouye trade at some point. Yesterday we had the trade between the Panthers and the Chargers with the offensive lineman, Trey Turner, Russell Okung. That's going to be good to get into. Very rare that you see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same position, you know, same position trades like that, you know, tick for tack. I know one's a tackle, one's a garb, but it is still rare. Uh, and of course we're going to get into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing that is taking the internet by a storm. Huh? Yes. Top 5 ugliest uniforms today. Yes. You know that's coming baby. We've done top 5 ugliest helmets, top 5 best helmets, now we're going ugliest uniforms. Too many people on social media wanted to do it, it's a good conversation, it's easy. By popular demand. Right, it's popular demand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, okay, other thing, now while we're on the bangles, I haven't talked to you about this, but I'm just interested to hear your take or your thought on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a lot of talk about AJ Green, right? AJ Green's gonna be franchise tag. Do they keep him around to help support Joe Burrow if they draft him at number one? Do you trade him away and start to get assets and maybe build the future of the team with Joe Burrow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what would be, well, what's your take on AJ Green and where he is right now? What would be your approach if you were the bangles with a guy like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leadership efforts of a young quarterback, but also could also help him out on the field and have a comfort zone there. Where do you kind of lie with that, that thought?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Brady talk, okay? On a Thursday in the off season. Right? Alright, so, I, I, you know, again, we've talked about this a little, uh, but I, I haven't really heard your State of the Union


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I want to hear your State of the Union here with Tom Brady. What you would be thinking, the rumors that are involved here as far as the Titans, the 49ers, any other teams to look at there and just kind of what's your thought on the overall Brady free agency thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing happened. Sure, it was a shocker. Belichick talked business and in a business tone about business, shocker. I'm really surprised by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well first off, tell people that. Like, Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick are not gonna do that, right? So just explain that to people, how they operate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I mean yeaah, is there even, and is there another team in the mix that, you know, you would even think, you know, my big thing is, realistically, what other teams are there that you could really pin it to? You know, again, like to what my dad just kind of echoed there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if Brady, so what you're trying to say right now is if you think if Brady doesn't end up in New England, or doesn't stay in New England, that Tannahill


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wonder if the reason we haven't heard a lot of Ryan Tannehill Tennessee conversation news yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I just wonder if New England has already reached out through the back channels to his representation to say, hey, pump the breaks. We might have some interest in here later on here in free agency. I'm just throwing that out there. I have no knowledge of that, but that is how the league works at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think there's any chance. I don't think Teddy Bridgewater is a New England guy. I don't. Yeaah. I mean nothing about him first off says he can throw the ball through weather in November, December, January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so if he's wearing gloves, he can't really throw it anyways. I'm sorry, that's just my thought on the matter. If you're wearing gloves...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, you're, you can't throw. I'm just, you're needing the glove to throw. And so that, that would, and then I don't know if they would believe in really that skill type of a player either, nor do I think he's a good enough aggressive downfield thrower. So I would, I'm shocked by that line actually right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. Yeah, right. Bridgewater is the classic case of a guy who won't lose you a game, but he's not gonna win you games either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm with you too, dad. I hear you. I think for the 49er offense, I don't think there's any doubt that I would take Tom Brady the more I've thought about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I just think Brady is a more slam dunk, better thrower of the football. Stronger arm, better spirals, better power. Everything about it, I look at it from that standpoint and go, yea, Brady's gonna be better. And then within that offense, like my dad just talked about, Kyle is the master of play action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In cut over the middle. 20 yard curl over the middle. Quick slant over the middle. Crosser over the middle. Deep post down the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Brady's, he's handmade for that. I mean, come on, that's what New England did. They call it the pop pass in New England. They're famous for it. Play action pass, come up, oh, there's Gronk, 15 yards over the middle, bam, strike, you know what I mean? So, from that standpoint, I do. My only question with Brady is one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just, is he willing to stand in there and take a shot if somebody's open 20 yards down field?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jimmy Garoppolo, it is his first year as a starter. He's going to get a little better. Now, how much better? A little better? A lot better? I don't know. Right? You know, you hear rumors that, you know, like Florio and, I don't know who was it, Tom Curran made comments that, you know, that Shanahan's told people that he thinks he's reached his max and he doesn't know if the ceiling's a whole lot higher. So that's got to go into this decision too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to your overreacting thing, hey listen, I understand your overreacting thing too. The other thing that I think, you know, we gotta take into account here, we haven't heard the 49ers come out and squash this rumor yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be very easy for any of them to come up and go, Jimmy Garoppolo's our quarterback, we're not doing anything, we're not ready. They have said that, I think, with Jimmy. He talked about Jimmy had a great year last year at the Combine, they said a lot of positive things, but if they really wanted to squash this, they could come out right now and squash it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to me, the fact that that hasn't happened shows you a little bit that there must be something there. Again, with there's smoke, there's fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last thing, and you gotta go, cause I know you gotta, you gotta travel, and we'll be done with it. If you were Tom Brady...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In year 20, and you've played in one, you know, same system for 20 years, you know, what's your thought about finally having to go somewhere else and have to learn a whole new language and offense and playbook and everything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you intimidated by that? Like late in your career? Like when you thought about going to the Browns or the Jags? Were you like, oh damn, I'm gonna have to learn a whole new playbook and all that crap?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, cause you hit a lot in that week 5 redskin game you're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, well yeaah, I think it's hand time, but it's always about him whether he can break 5-1 or 5-2 even. I can't remember what it was. There's no way it's 4-9. He's not getting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it doesn't sound like it's about money for Brady. He's not going to be asking for 35 million for a year. So you hope you can get him at a good number to go, hey, Tom, I know you're coming out here, right? Cause you want to win. It's the end of your career. You want to win the Superbowl? You know, could you take just a few million less and then maybe we could, maybe we could keep, you know, Eric Armstead and like things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the, that's the interesting, the Jimmy Garoppolo trade compensation is very interesting. It is. Because I think he's viewed in a lot of different ways throughout the league. I think there's some people in the league that go, oh, he's a borderline top 10 quarterback. But I think there's other people in the league where they go, no, he's not, he's borderline top 20 or 22.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's just so many interesting things about this Brady thing and the Brady discussion and all that and then just the ripple effects of what happens to the rest of the free agent quarterback market and where these teams, where these teams end up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course we know there's teams that need quarterbacks and other teams that we go, ooh, they're gonna draft the quarterback, but we also gotta say they might wanna bridge Jimmy Garoppolo type quarterback to come in and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, hey, we might draft a quarterback, but we need Jimmy G for a year or two before we feel comfortable with letting a 2a play or whatever. So there's so many different things to go here. Uh, but that's that. Thanks to Big Phil. And then, uhm, what are we, we're gonna hit Trade Alert. Trade Alert. Trade Alert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, nothing, just straight up. You never hear it just says, this guy for this guy, and end the conversation. And, you know, okay, so, I know what everybody's first thought was, well, that doesn't seem right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trey Turner, he's gone to all these Pro Bowls, he's young, he's just starting the prime of his career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it. I get all that too. Now a little bit about this is about need. You know too, where I do think the Panthers are just looking at their team going, damn we have some guys here that we think can play guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have a freaking tackle, whether it's Cam Newton or we draft a quarterback in the first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, hey, a new coach, he wants to feel good about that. You want to feel good if you're going to block Cameron Jordan and Shaquille Barrett in your division, along with, you know, everybody thinking, hey, the Atlanta Falcons are going to refurbish their defensive line this year. You know, having that franchise left tackle is a huge


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what do I want to say? Pressure relief. Because it just, it stops so many things game plan wise, where you go, oh, oh, we're playing Kalil Mack this week? Okay, I don't have to come up with some, like, 57 different plays to hide my left tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, because you know what? This is what I do. One, I watch these guys all year. I kept a close eye on Russell Okung when he came back healthy after his blood clots earlier in the year. Now first, that's the first thing we need to address. People see it and they go, well Russell Okung only played six games last year. He's 32.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it wasn't an injury related thing. He had blood clots. So, that's a good thing as far as an evaluator's concerned. You're not dealing with like a guy that came off a knee injury or a shoulder issue or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so, he's, he's been given a clean bill of health there. And then, I'll say this, alright, because when I hear the trade go down,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this is what I do. I downloaded film from both of these guys and started watching them and going, okay, let me go back and just look here and just really just focus on them. Not watch what the whole offense is doing or anything like that. And really what I came away from watching two games of each guy is I went, Russell Okung's the better player right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Russell Okung, yes he's 32, but he is a franchise left tackle. There is really not a lot of, there's no weakness to his game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if healthy, he is that guy that we just talked about, where you just go, oh you're playing JJ Watt this week? He's got him. Don't worry about the backs, we don't need to slide the line there. Oh you're playing Cleo back? He's got him, no worries. Trey Turner, still a good player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an underwhelming year, and I had written that during my notes during the season. But then when I watched just him last night, I sat there going, yeah, it's good, but it's not great. It's not great. And that, so that scares me. Listen, he could have a down year. Guys have down years in the NFL. That happens all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the other thing I would say that just slightly scares me about Trey Turner, I don't like the way his body looks right now. Okay? And that would scare me. You know I'm a body guy. Right? And when you're an offensive lineman and you start to hit a certain look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It always scares me because I've seen it my whole life whether it was my dad's teammates or even my own teammates in college in the NFL when guys start to get this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess they feel pretty good about their tackles. I know they have some guys there they like. And also, they're in prime position to draft a tackle or make a move that way too in the draft. So I don't know where it goes. Maybe they're going to be players for tackle in free agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But either way, both teams filled needs, that's for sure. And honestly, I would tell you that I think the Carolina Panthers won the trade, as of this moment. Yes, I do. I think Russell Okung and Trey Turner, straight up as players right now, if you make me choose, I'm taking Russell Okung. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What goes into that too is like, you know, you know, he's, he's redoing their team, right? This is not about like winning this year. So he's, he's, I think he's also looking at like, you know, okay, I like Trey Turner and he's a good player, but man, we're playing a lot of money and I got these few backups or I feel like I could put them there and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, maybe get the same result or get a less result, but it's not that much less to where you go. It's a 12 million dollar difference. You know what I mean? So, I think those things are what you take into account too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, I think they're going to, yeaah, I don't know. You don't know what they're going to do with Cam. Right. That'll be a big tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he passes his physical about what they do with them, that'll kind of give us an inkling of what their plan is. Now, you know, I know if everybody's saying like, oh, we think it's a fire sale and things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they're trading people like Christian McCaffrey and anything like that. No. You know, again, you're gonna trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best player in your team right now, to why? So he can go somewhere else and we know he's in the prime of his career and then just throw it back in your face and then have all your fan base the first year of a new regime go, why did you trade away the guy that's got 2,000 total yards and you know, leading running backs and rushing and then leading running backs and receiving as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you just brought in Joe Brady, who came from LSU, who was before, before that in New Orleans with Sean Payton, and Sean Payton likes to throw the back, right? Yea. I mean, he loves to throw the ass, so I would be shocked by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're just refurbishing, rebuilding their team. I don't think it's like a tanking for TUA type thing or whatever that is. But yea, they're playing this in the long haul. This is not about winning this year or anything like that. They're building something for the future. Sure, sure. With an eye on the present still. With an eye on the present still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, you'll see teams go one and then that coach, or he saves his job, but then the coach can't ever get out of the perception of that like first year of like, oh, they were horrible the first year. You know, that's why I was always like, man, Bryan Flores and them in Miami, they ain't tankin' shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, they know that they're gonna go to the grave and they're gonna be judged for that number in that first year. Even if it was for like, hey, we tried to lose every game so we could get to it. Coaches just aren't gonna go down like that. Because nobody ever gives them the benefit of the doubt five years later when they do get fired and you can't raise your hand as a coach and be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There would have been a lot of talk, you're right. There's no doubt about it. If they didn't get in the playoffs, we would all be going, is this Kyle Shanahan's last year? If the 49ers don't make a playoff run, they're gonna, they might be gone, right? And that squashed the question. Another trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well I think there is a little bit of that, you know, and I've heard people say, well like, why would they take AJ Buya and they're not willing to sign Chris Harris?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's just, Chris Harris is asking for a new contract, right? He's gonna ask for a huge lump sum of money as far as guaranteed money, signing bonus, things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, right here, AJ Bouye, hey, it's, it's 13 million dollars. That's what it is. Is that maybe expensive for AJ Bouye in this part of his career? Hey, that's debatable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I still think AJ Bouye is like a top 15 corner in football. You know, he's not that far away from really being a top 5 and top 10 corner in football. It was an underwhelming net year there in Jacksonville. They are a team that's, they're refurbishing, they're rebuilding right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think, I think they're trying to get a fresh start and kind of retool their team to where they just think I think saw the writing on the wall with Bouye and probably would have been a cap casual team no matter what. So they got him out of town and the Broncos have a serious need at the position. They do. They need corners there. And I, you know, of course I expect them to lose Chris Harris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy like AJ Buyea, yeaah. He's long, he's still a good man to man cover corner, he's gonna help that defense out, and I think for like a one year tryout thing, I don't think the Broncos had any issue with that as far as that goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a very good year for corner play, right? It really is. I mean, even guys like that are not on this list, like Ronald Darby's out there, who's not a bad cover corner guy. You know, Jaylen Mills is going to be out there, right? You know, uh, do I see, is Logan Ryan on that? Yeah, there he is. Okay. Just going through names here just to look at it. You know, Bashad Breland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's another guy who played really good at the end of the year. So to your point, the market is really good. Now, the guy, the list you see right there, you see like Chris Harris, Byron Jones, James Bradbury, anybody watching on YouTube and seeing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, first off, Chris Harris has had the best career of the group. Chris Harris is coming towards the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, to me, you know, the reason you're hearing the Dallas Cowboys flirt with Chris Harris Jr. is because Byron Jones...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the cream of the crop of this group, alright? That's the, this is Byron Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people turn on the film are gonna go, man, when Byron Jones healthy, he might be the best corner in football. He's that type of talent. Byron Jones is gonna get a huge contract from somebody. That's why you're not hearing him back to Dallas or anything. He is going to get paid a contract where he might be the highest paid corner we've ever seen in the history of football. It's gonna be around that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another guy like James Bradbury who is another guy really under the radar and a talented player. You know, I could see a team like Seattle being really interested in him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he's more of a zone than man corner, but has that size and length to be that Richard Sherman type for that system, really fits there. Byron Jones is a guy, just to get back to fit there, he's gonna fit anywhere. It doesn't matter. He's just, he's a physical freak. There's a reason he has the world record in the broad jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can run 4-3 and all of those things and he's long on top of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris Harris Jr., his value is in his nickel back, right? It's nickel. And that's where his value is, and that's why he'll fit just about anywhere there is too. And I would think there's tremendous market for really all of these guys. You know, again, when you break down teams like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the lions, the cardinals, the Texans, the giants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, these are teams that all have some money to play with. They're raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, all not good at pass defense, the Seattle Seahawks, I would think are all gonna be in the conversation for these type of players, let alone you have some value type guys like Bradley Roby and Jimmy Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, when healthy, are really freakin' good players, but are not gonna be able to command like top market type number like that either. To where someone's gonna get them and you're like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got Logan Ryan for that number or Jimmy Smith for that number. That's a good sign for them. That's what kind of guys they are. Same with Bradley Roby. So it is an interesting market and there's a lot of teams I think with the need. That's why I think Free Agency is awesome this year. The quarterback market of course, we know that's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then that same conversation goes for the pass rushers. There's a plethora of pass rushers, there's a plethora of teams that need the pass rushers who are the teams that are towards the top ten in salary cap money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where I just go, ooh, that's gonna be, there's gonna be some big money and some bidding for players that get their own around in this market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you just hear Chase Young and you hear about the kid from Penn State. I think those are the two guys that I continually hear about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More and more, uh, as far as the first round draft picks are concerned. But when you talk about Eric Armstead, Shaquille Barrett, Jadevion Clowney, Dante Fowler Jr., Marcus Golden, Everson Griffin, JPP, you know, Yannick Egakwe, who's gonna be a tag and trade type guy. I mean, that's pretty freakin' insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm sorry, I just forgot your name, I forgot you there, Bud Dupree, but yeaah, I think there's, uh, some really talented guys there, let alone, oh, Robert Quinn, are you kidding me? He was the best pass rusher on the Cowboys last year. Yeaah, he's getting up there in here. Shaq Lawson, really good all around defensive end type. Marcus Golden,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, two years after his ACL injury, ACL injury, he started to look like he did before the injury again this year. Double digit sacks. I would think that gets better this year. So, you know, to your point, it's, there's a lot of good names out there and there's money to be spent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is special and scary, a weapon. But damn, it's almost never. And then you have Kenny Stills, right? So, I don't know. You could say the same thing about Watkins. That's what I was just gonna say, right? So you're gonna go, oh yeah, we'll trade out Wolf over for Sammy Watkins, who doesn't play just as much as him? You know, that's where it's scary to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know about that. Now, I do, the Texans have a ton of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and of course we know, yea, Hopkins and Watkins went to school together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I would think the first order of business for the Houston Texans is the two positions we just talked about. Their pass defense sucked last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't rush the passer either. They don't have a, you know, JJ Watt is good, don't get me wrong. He's not JJ Watt the superstar anymore. Did you hear JJ Watt's name called once in the divisional playoff game versus the Chiefs? No. You know, so he's really good now, but that day is over. So they need a difference-making


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defense alignment too. And I would think corner and defense alignment are the two places you're gonna hear right off the bat with them. And, uh, we'll see where the receiver goes. I would think they'd have to be a little concerned about finding that legit number too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I do, because Fuller is just scary. And I don't know if I trust Watkins, especially at 16 plus million dollars a year to come in and be that guy with

[Assistant] You know, again, I'm not trying to have a take, I just do what I see on film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not to say that every film evaluation I've ever had is right, but you also know that I'm a psycho, and this is what I do, and yeaah, that was, you know, when I heard that yesterday, I was like, damn, alright, I read it on, you know, pro football talk, and I was like, alright, I'm about to get home, let me download some games from both of these teams so I can start watching these two guys.

[Assistant] That's cool. That's really cool. Uh, I don't know, really, I've never met any of those women there other than, of course, Catherine Catherine. But she's awesome, and I'm all for that. I mean, come on, women are so much better than men. I mean, in my opinion, the earth would be so much better if we would just let women have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little more power and control. I'm a true believer in that. I know in my own household.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you're not, you're pretty good. I am too, I'm not that smelly either. I take pride in that, but unfortunately not all men do. Uh, so that's coming up on double deodorant today. Did you know that? You went double. I went double. I went an all natural version on the skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then on my undershirt, I put some Old Spice on the shirt. Oh, I've never heard of that before. You've never heard of that? Well, I'm a trendsetter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well the all, yeaah, the all natural on olie, I sometimes don't feel like it's a strong enough scent. Okay. And then that old spice though, you put that on, it's like having like a little way of almost cologne-ish, which I like, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you like, how do you want to do this? Do you want to reveal our number five together? Like you go first, I go first, or do you just want to go through your top five and then you do my top five? We can go five together because we do not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I don't agree with you, but I don't love the all red, you're right. I don't love it. I actually think I would like the better if they went all blue, right? I think the all blue would be a better look. I agree with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like the black in your uniforms. You're green and silver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the Randall Cunningham, Reggie White uniform with the Kelly Green and the silver wings on the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sick of the black outline, okay, I'm sick of it. Even in their white and green jerseys, the black outline, all that, I don't like it. So, you know, as much as I like Philadelphia, and I like Doug Peterson, and kinda like the aura of that city, I'm sorry. Go back to the old uniforms, I don't like this new one, and especially the all black, it's trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard for me to disagree. It's not real. I mean, come on. They have a special place in my heart. You know, the bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they are currently better right now. Damn, I look good in that uniform. Even I can make it look good, so don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, you know, I didn't throw that in the stands. I threw that into the pirate ship, okay? I threw that because I always said the first time I run in for a touchdown and something other than a preseason game,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People have told me the ball went into the part where the cannon sticks out. It went into the square that the cannon was coming out of on the side of the ship. People have told me that it flew right directly into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not, I was just trying to hit the ship, but he says it on live TV during the game, and I've had people up there who have said like, hey dude, you know that ball you threw went actually like into the ship, like into the hole? I mean, I'm not, I like my aim, but I'm not that good with my aim. So it wasn't, you didn't even throw it at people? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going to a team I played for. Tennessee Titans. Yeah, sorry. And specifically the white


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the white jersey with the blue pants. One, hey listen, you know, this is not just a helmet discussion, but when you talk about uniform, it's everything in common. I don't love the helmet, alright? And then I do think the uniform just has too much going on for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just too much. I don't love the shoulders and like there, you see like the gray, the gray sliver on there and all that. First off, are you gray? I didn't know they were ever gray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that just, that confuses me. Yeaah, so just the overall look of the Tennessee Titans uniform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't love it. And it pains me to say because I played for them for two years, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't know, the stripe down the side of the pants, there's no stripe on the side of the jersey. I don't love the stripe on the shoulder. You're right. I'm certainly not a fan of the helmet itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, uh, so I think all of it tied in together. Yeah, I'm just not in love. I never have been with the Carolina Panthers. The one thing that came out to me more than anything with this little exercise, too,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for my, maybe my number one that we'll get to, but everybody else, like I, I really thought about this and I had like nine teams written down and I was going through pictures and I, I don't like hate that, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't love the Ravens uniforms either. I do like their white on white and black on black. I don't love it. But there's a lot of stuff going on too. First, I don't love their numbers either. I don't like the black and gold outlines on the numbers. I mean, first of all, gold? Where the f**k did the gold come from? I don't get it. And I also don't love their helmet either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know, there's something about the Ravens though. They're just mean and nasty and their uniforms kinda scream that too, which like fits it to me. I get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing that's really ugly about them, I mean, is the patch of their state flag or whatever on their jersey. Like they have a really ugly state symbol state flag. Sorry, Maryland, Baltimore, everything about you there. It's just too much. Like when the Maryland Terpens have that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the ugliest uniform in all of sports. Not all of sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is your least favorite uniform? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Buccaneers. I'm going with you. First off, I like our old uniforms better. That's why I didn't talk too much because I knew I was coming up with this. Yes. First off, I do. I'm with you. I like the old uniform better. The one I used to wear. The one they won the Super Bowl in. Alright. I'd still like to even see them improve that. But this right here, what we're looking at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't believe it's two of my former teams here that I'm just talking crap on. And the Bucs are really special to my heart. I mean, other than, you know, they're one of the teams I root for, them and the Giants, so. What was it, Creamsicle? Creamsicle, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I left my first year there after, you know, I got, I got released finally after my spleen and all that. They wore those, the creamsicle in a throwback game. I was like, I remember being in Tennessee being like, I always wanted to wear those. I never got to.
