Starting point is 00:00:00 Here's Edelman broken up and the pass is no sign yet. Edelman comes down with a football and they're saying it's a catch. It's a catch! Oh! It's a catch! Sideline! Touch's a touchdown! Unbelievable! Swings it way down the field to Watkins!
Starting point is 00:00:36 Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! Touchdown! Well, the Detroit Lions looked towards this season and said, you guys are going to hear me roar. This is the Fumble Rooski podcast by Power 88 and Secret Weapon Consulting. I'm Adam Wright with CJ Medeiros and Justin Tucker. And yes, I use that cheesy line and I do not regret it because I'm not even a Lions fan, but what an unbelievable off season this team has had. And yes, I am referring to their recent slew of signings, a lot of them being in their secondary. So their rebuild process overall in the past few years has been nothing short of incredible.
Starting point is 00:01:30 This team just a couple of years ago traded away their franchise quarterback, Matthew Stafford, and have used their first-round picks very smartly. And in their secondary, that was probably this season the biggest weakness that they had. They've had some pieces, but this offseason, they brought in from the 49ers, cornerback Emmanuel Mosley. They got cornerback Cam Sutton from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and most recently getting safety CJ Gardner-Johnson. And that's not even it. On the offensive side of the ball, they brought in another running back to pair up with DeAndre Swift after the departure of Jamal Williams in David Montgomery, who is in himself a very good running back
Starting point is 00:02:18 who has put up pretty good numbers over the past couple years despite playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in football in the past couple seasons. So all good stuff going on here. But, I mean, how about these Lions? Oh, man, give me a second. I'm still trying to recover from that pun you started in the beginning. The Lions look pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Starting point is 00:02:44 They have a good starting quarterback. They have a myriad of weapons surrounding them. They have a good one-two tandem running back. They have an improving offensive line. Their defense is getting better and stronger. I mean, they look like a nice, well-rounded team right now. I mean, good for them. They look nice.
Starting point is 00:03:02 They look really good. Well, then, here's the thing with the Lions. I think that, I mean, or at least we all know, that defensive backfield was undoubtedly their biggest weakness going into the soft season. And what did they do? They went out and they fixed it. You know, they got Cam Sutton, Emmanuel Mosley, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. I mean, you can't be mad at that. This shows that the front office cares, and they're actively trying to fix their issues.
Starting point is 00:03:38 And if you're a fan, you can't be mad at that. Now, the one thing that i would say is questionable is letting last year's i believe rushing touchdown leader you know jamal williams walk but then again you did get david montgomery who was literally chicago's rb1 so you can't complain too much they also bolstered the line with broncos guard grand black scout so once again that's a pretty underrated signing in and of itself. But here's the big thing, all right? I know what you're going to bring up, and I haven't brought it up yet. Oh, can I keep going? Keep going, keep going. But see, here's the fun part.
Starting point is 00:04:21 They have two first-round draft picks to play with. One of them literally being in the top 10 and the other one I think is number 18, I want to say. Yeah, six and 18. Six and 18. Yeah, so you have two top 20 draft picks to play with. This exciting Lions offseason I think is far from over and a lot of Lions fans are slightly concerned that they might not have DJ Chark. But to which I say, don't worry. You have a guy that you drafted who was hurt in Jameson Williams. And he's going to be the electric home run hitter. He's like DJ Chark, but even faster and with better hands.
Starting point is 00:05:04 And you also have almond ross st brown oh yeah unbelievable in his own in his own in his own right like the list goes on doesn't it and they got they acquired jared goff their quarterback in a throw-in in the matthew stafford deal and he's looking like a guy who could actually win a Super Bowl for them. I think we've all underrated them. Myself being one of those people over the past couple of years, Jared Goff, everyone kind of called him a puppet for Sean McVay. And honestly, he keeps producing everywhere he goes. He's never been a bad quarterback and he's also
Starting point is 00:05:45 been known. He's already taken the team to the Superbowl. So he has that post-season experience. So, and playing behind one of the, now one of the most improved offensive lines in the past couple of seasons and an improved backfield, in my opinion, a very good pass catching corpse, and a very improved defense with that secondary. I mean, everywhere you look, this team has improved. And all they really need is to maybe put a little more work into that secondary and let's say work on that interior defensive line to work on the run defense. And maybe a tight end.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I guess. And you can literally address those two needs with your first-round picks. Go cornerback at six and go defensive line at 18. Boom, done. I wouldn't necessarily go. You could go either or because Jalen Carter might be available, and it'll be tough to pass up on him.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And then at 18, I believe Devin Witherspoon will be there at 18. No, Devin Witherspoon will not be there at 18, I assure you. You think he's going to be gone? Oh, he will be gone, I promise you. Devin Witherspoon, I will be shocked if he falls outside of 10. Joey Porter's going to be gone? Oh, he will be gone. I promise you. Heather Witherspoon, I will be shocked if he falls outside of 10. Joey Porter's going to be there, then. They could take the guy out of Penn State. I think maybe.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I'm not sure. It's possible. More possible than Witherspoon, but I don't know. Either way. There's a myriad of where they can go. They can go D-line first or DB second first. It really doesn't know. Either way. There's a myriad of where they can go. They can go D-line first or DB second first. It really doesn't matter. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Either way, they have a lot of good things that they can do, and that's a good problem to have, that they have really built up this team so that they have – I mean, they've spent a lot of assets, but they also have a lot more at their disposal. And my next question, and we'll cap off the segment with this, what's their ceiling this year? Because I have them winning the division already. Can they go farther than that now?
Starting point is 00:07:58 I would think they can. I think they can. Because here's the thing. It's not that they're getting better, although that's a big part of it. It's that their division, especially the so-called top dogs in Green Bay and Minnesota, are getting worse. And also, but I will admit, Chicago has improved quite a bit too, but I do think they're a year or two away from making some serious noise. But you also have to think about how the NFC in and of itself is kind of up for grabs.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I mean, we know Philly is going to be good. Dallas might be good. But we don't know what San Fran is going to do at quarterback. The Rams are buried in a rebuild. Maybe Seattle with Geno Smith, maybe. And I don't really see anyone from the nfc south competing right away unless whoever the panthers take it number one just comes in and has a justin herbert or patrick mahomes impact that's not happening i don't see it happening i could low key make the nfc championship game yeah that's what i was leading up to i 100 agree with
Starting point is 00:09:05 tuck like yeah i would say that is i mean sky's the limit for them i would say definitely if they play their cards right and everything follows how it should uh perhaps nfc championship birth is in their future yeah oh man because i think they'll be the ones of their division so they'll probably get an interstate south team or an nfc east team one or the other and then they'll be the ones of their division, so they'll probably get an NFC South team or an NFC East team, one or the other, and then they'll go to the divisional round. I assume they'll face either a team like the Cowboys, who are allergic to prosperity. They'll lose, and then Detroit will be there in the NFC championship game.
Starting point is 00:09:37 That's all. Yeah. Yeah. I think the only teams that really stick out to me as teams that could be a threat to the Lions in the playoffs, I mean, there's whoever comes out of the NFC East, which has actually turned into a pretty good division in the past couple years, and whoever comes out of the
Starting point is 00:10:06 afc west which will probably be the 49ers but with the quarterback problems they are having i don't know what their i don't know what their ceiling is it just doesn't feel like a stable team to me if they keep on having a revolving door at at quarterback and i'm sorry. So I've had a lot of respect for the 49ers. As an organization, they are a very professional organization which makes very good decisions with their franchise. But there's something odd about their quarterback situation. Have you noticed how they're always getting hurt in the past few years? They're always getting hurt in the past few
Starting point is 00:10:45 years they are always getting hurt yeah they just are injury stricken at quarterback right now they just have bad luck at that spot but is there a point where we stop saying that it's bad luck and that maybe it's just bad coaching bad training bad training staff don Don't mind Doug in the background. Doug, he's possible. I mean, at some point we have to look in to tell this 49ers team to look in the mirror and say, you guys got to figure something out. That's not fair because some of these are like in-game injuries. It's not like they're happening off the field or in workouts. These are happening on the field. Train These are happening like on the field.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Trey Lance got injured on the field. Brock Perry got injured in the NFC Championship game. Jimmy G got injured on the field. At some point in time, I can't blame them for the injuries that are happening. Well, practice makes perfect. And the way that you practice off the field is how you're going to play on it. That sounds like more of the players, does it not? But if there's so many players at that position who are getting hurt,
Starting point is 00:11:55 and not just that position, this is just the team in general now that I'm thinking about it. Like, George Kittle is always in and out of the lineup. Debo Samuel gets hurt brandon iuke that he doesn't count because he hardly he hardly gets snaps joey boso's hurt all his second year joey boso i mean nick bosa yeah excuse me jesus nick yeah we both we both watched that one nick nick bosa i mean like this has kind of been this has kind of been an issue injuries you have to look at something within that organization i don't know if it's the coaching the training staff maybe the front office is picking players who might have the
Starting point is 00:12:36 talent but are injury prone but they have to look they have to take a look in a good look in the mirror but i mean we're going off topic. This is about the Lions. I mean, yeah. I see this team being a contender, actually. This Detroit Lions team. They don't have many flaws. They really don't, if any. So, I can see them in the NFC Championship, possibly the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Their quarterback's already gotten there once. Yeah. Just saying. Just saying. All right. We're going to change gears, and we're going to move on from one team who has improved this offseason to another.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So we are going to talk about another NFC team, which we haven't really touched on very much this offseason to another. So we are going to talk about another NFC team, which we haven't really touched on very much this offseason, which will be the Cowboys team that's kind of flown under the radar this offseason, but has made plenty of moves, whether you like them or not. That's next. This is the Fumble Rooski podcast. football they're saying it's a catch swings it way down the field you are listening to the Fumble Rooski podcast by Power 88 in Secret Weapon Consulting. Adam Wright, CJ Medeiros, Justin Tucker. So the Dallas Cowboys, all right, stay with me now.
Starting point is 00:14:42 This team, so they've had their share of departures. So Ezekiel Elliott, most notably, he was released. Noah Brown was let go in free agency, being their No. 3 wide receiver. And Dalton Schultz, actually he's probably the biggest one out there. But for additions, in the secondary, they brought in Stephon Gilmore, which is actually a very underrated move for them because now they have a second corner opposite Trevon Diggs. They now have another wide receiver who's arguably a 2-3, which isn't mentioned in a bad way. It is more so, it speaks to the depth that they now have at the wide receiver position. Because now they not only have CeeDee Lamb, their superstar wide receiver one,
Starting point is 00:15:41 but they also have Brandon Cooks now now and they have Michael Gallo. So that's a, that's a, that's a trio of wide receivers. That is pretty good. Now they did let Dalton Schultz go. And I'll admit they have some work to do with the tight end position, uh, to replace to some extent that position. But they've also kept their front seven intact, bringing back Leighton Van Der Esch, and they just brought back Dante Fowler Jr. this morning. So I got to say, this is probably the most well-rounded this Cowboys team has been in recent memory don't do this don't don't do this
Starting point is 00:16:29 don't don't just don't please why not you know why you know why they look good on paper and in the beginning of the season they look very good but we all know what happens don't don't do this i don't we we know what's going to happen i did not you you were you were on this show during the preseason yeah and you know that i did not talk up this cowboys team like i am now i did not you did they had a good season but i i said and i quote i believe this Cowboys team can at best stay the same, which is not a good thing because the season prior, they were a first-round exit. They lost Amari Cooper, and they only stayed the same at most places.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And they kind of did. This year, they added to that defense, which I feel in was a little bit inflated in their numbers. I feel like they played some bad competition and now they kind of like, they got better. They were a good, they were a good front seven team. They brought, they kept all those boys together and now they improved in the secondary. I think that's important. And they also brought in a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver, which is something they didn't have last year. Michael Gallup has been a solid wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:17:56 but I think Brandon Cooks, at his best, is a pretty good receiver. He's fallen off this past season, but I feel like that's part of... A lot of that has to do with him suffering from bad quarterback syndrome. Because Davis Mills is just not it. Davis Mills is the worst quarterback that Brandon Cooks has had to deal with in his whole career. He started with Drew Brees,
Starting point is 00:18:21 then he went to Tom Brady, then he went to Jared Goff, like the good jared goff the one that we were talking about talking up last segment and then he turned that to davis mills and we're all upset at him because he he declined a little bit this season of course he is like i'm just i'm just saying and like yeah he had one good year with Davis Mills, his first season as a Houston Texan. But his next year, it's bad enough that he had to work with Davis Mills a second year. Then the offensive line got worse.
Starting point is 00:18:56 And then Davis Mills did not have time to throw, which makes things worse for him. So of course he's going to decline a little bit. I think, so he's 29 right now, right? Brandon Cooks is 29. That's not that old. He can still reach a high level. And to pair him up with CeeDee Lamb, who's going to draw a lot of attention and coverage by opposing defenses,
Starting point is 00:19:21 that's pretty good. I think Dak Prescott is, as much as we do not believe that he's a Super Bowl winning quarterback, he's a Pro Bowl level, not Super Bowl. He's better than Davis Mills, and he's around the same level as Jared Goff, I would say. He's going to do it to himself.
Starting point is 00:19:39 He's setting himself up for failure, and I can't do this. I almost am sure of this. Last year during preseason, you predicted the Dallas Cowboys to go to the NFC Championship game, and me and CJ laughed at you horrendously for doing that, and you were fully on board until they lost to the Washington Commanders in the season finale, and you were like, this bum team is horrible. They lost to the Jaguars. They're losing to the Commanders now.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I'm not – I don't believe in this team. They're not going anywhere. And now we get to the offseason. They make a nice few additions, but it's the Cowboys. They're going to mess it up like always. I have no faith in this team. Every time I'm thinking, on paper they look good. Let's see what they do. They fail horrendously. So why am I getting my hopes in this team. Every time I'm thinking, on paper they look good. Let's see what they do.
Starting point is 00:20:26 They fail horrendously. So why am I getting my hopes up this year? It's the Cowboys. And that will be my answer until they prove me otherwise. They haven't made the NFC Championship game since 1996. Nothing's changed. It's not an analytical argument, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Like, I get it. There's something wrong with this team in the past couple of years. I agree. And I'm not even making any predictions right now. I'm just saying that this team has improved its roster from this past season to this year. That's all. And I'm not even saying it's analytical. It just won't change.
Starting point is 00:21:03 It's been this way since the 90s. It'll continue to be this way because that's who they are. I'm sorry if it doesn't sound like there's no data to back it up. Only like four playoff wins since 1996. But that's just who they are currently. I'm not saying that's how they'll always be, will be for the rest of our lives. But that's who they are now. Adam.
Starting point is 00:21:23 What's up? I'm going to jump in here. I think this little debate with you and Tucker, I think this is a classic case of two things being true at once. Adam, you are correct. They did bolster their roster and digs and cooks are notable additions. Tucker, I do agree with you that I don't know how much it's going to translate.
Starting point is 00:21:45 However, I do also agree with Adam that your argument's not very, you know, backed up by numbers. But what I can tell you... The numbers are there. Hear me out. Hear me out. Okay. I am inclined to agree with Justin that I'm not high on that for two reasons. One, Adam briefly mentioned this, Dak. He's a good Pro Bowl quarterback.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Like you said, he's not going to win you anything because, I mean, he's got a good arm, decent accuracy. He's a mobile guy. He can read a defense okay. But, see, that's the thing. He's just mobile guy. He can read a defense okay. But see, that's the thing. He's just not clutch. If you're relying on Dak to make the game-saving play, you're in trouble. And a lot of it, I truly believe, comes down to coaching.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Mike McCarthy is not a good coach. He is not even a good game manager. His play calling is questionable, and his decisions are even more questionable. And he's so bad that even Aaron Rodgers, you know, Aaron Rodgers carried him to one Super Bowl, and even still, and Rodgers, who in and of himself is a top-ten quarterback of all time, couldn't carry him to any more.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And it's getting to the point where Dak sure as hell ain't gonna carry him to a Super Bowl so yeah long story short both things are true at once they did improve but I don't see that uh I don't see them making any serious noise I'm not even saying that they're going to make any serious noise or not I'm just saying that their roster has improved that's all yes and this team is correct and another thing that can still be true at once is that this team could be better than last year's team it's yeah like that's that's still a possibility they could go from um what they finished 12 and 5 this past season and go from that to um let's say, 13-4, 14-2, 14-3?
Starting point is 00:23:48 I don't know. Because, see, here's the thing. The most recent NFC champions, the Eagles, are still in their division. And I know that they lost some guys on their roster. They lost some coaches. But you have to remember, the Giants, the Giants have been out here making moves. The Giants have improved. So it's not even a Cowboys thing.
Starting point is 00:24:09 They're also in a very tough division. So I don't know. I mean, I don't know if I see them winning 13 or 14 games. I don't think the Eagles are going to be as good as they were last year. Probably not, but they're still going to be good is my point. I'm not saying who's going to come out on top. I'm only saying that their division is hard. Yeah, their division has come a long way.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And I remember that. I'm old enough to remember a few years ago when the NFC East was the butt of all nfl jokes yeah that included the cowboys yeah but at least the cowboys were the teams that were coming on top of that in that division they were not 2014 2016 2018 when the nfc when you're talking about the NFC being the butt of the jokes, I think of 2015 and I think of 2020. They were horrible. Oh, I'm sorry, 2019. They were horrible those three years.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And they were never once division champs. When they were competitive, yes, they were division champs. But never once when the division was horrible within itself where the Cowboys like clear-cut favorites, and they actually succeeded. Never? Never. They were good in 2014. They were good in 2016. But I want to say the division was more competitive
Starting point is 00:25:33 because the Eagles were good that year. Which year? 2014. And then 2016, were they? 2014. Yeah, they pushed 10-6 and missed out on the playoffs. But they were still competitive. I think so. I think eagles were bad that year in 2014 they missed the playoffs but they still went 10-6 2016 was carson wentz's first year cj can you look this up yeah so 2014 we're talking
Starting point is 00:25:58 right 2014 i believe i know the cowboys finished 12 and 4 i I'm not sure. I thought the Eagles – I know the Eagles missed out on the playoffs, but I'm not sure by how much. I don't even remember they had it at the time after they faced off in Thanksgiving, and then they lost like three out of their next four, and that's why they missed the playoffs. Because I know the Cowboys started off like red hot, and Tony Romo had a career year that season. All right, I have results.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Yeah. Tucker is correct. The Philadelphia Eagles did, in fact, go 10-6 in 2014, but they did miss the playoffs. Okay, so yeah. So, Tuck was right on that one. 2016, they were still a good team. And I know for a fact the Eagles were not good that year.
Starting point is 00:26:50 I want to say they were 8-8 or 7-9, though. What year? 16? Yeah. 2016. Are we looking that one up too? I mean, it really doesn't matter. We're talking about the Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:27:02 And the Cowboys, I'm just saying that the Cowboys have been relevant in terms of being competitive in the regular season the past couple years. They have. They've been a solid team. And they've been in and out of the playoffs. They've had some competitive seasons. They've been the butt of all jokes because they don't cash in in the postseason. And rightfully so.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I'm not trying to defend them for that, but I'm just saying every dog has its day. And eventually, eventually, I'm not even saying it's going to be next year. I'm not saying it's going to be in five years, not even 10 years. Eventually they got a breakthrough. And for a team that's been this competitive for this long, they've got a breakthrough at some a team that's been this competitive uh for this long they've got a breakthrough at some point and i don't think uh dac prescott is a super bowl winning quarterback but how many quarterbacks have we seen win a super bowl and not be considered super bowl winning quarterbacks i think they were considered super bowl winning quarterbacks when they won that so i don't i don't like when, like when they won it.
Starting point is 00:28:05 But as, as far as talent goes, like Eli Manning was never that much. Joe Flacco wasn't, wasn't all that. He was in the playoffs. Trent Dilfer wasn't all that. I'm just saying like, and there's some quarterbacks who are some of the greatest of all time who never even won one. I mean, Dan Marino is worlds better than Dak Prescott, but he only made it to one in his second year,
Starting point is 00:28:31 and he never even sniffed it again for his whole career. So I'm just saying, like, it's not all black and white. A quarterback could be considered not that great, but still make it because there's so much talent on that team. Yeah. So I'm just saying saying i'm not making any predictions i'm not a cow i'm not a cowboys fan i'm not even a i'm not even a delusional troll let's go cowboys skip bayless guy i'm just saying like they they have a chance i they have a chance at some point. It's got to come through at some point. But I do want to move on. I want to say one more thing before we go.
Starting point is 00:29:10 And that's it. Kirk Cousins better. All right, I'm done. Oh, boy. We're not doing this. No, we're not doing this. I hate that you said that, but you might be right. We can move on.
Starting point is 00:29:22 You know what? He's better than Kirk Cousins. Oh, no, no, no. We are not doing this all right uh all right so we're going to change gears and we are going to go on to our fumble ruski fan box we're going to dip into some draft coverage where we asked you guys who some of the most underrated defensive backs in this 2022 NFL draft are. We are officially starting up on our draft coverage as we transition into from free agency as it begins to settle down. That's next. This is the Fumble Rooski podcast. This is the Fumble Rooski Podcast by Power88 and Secret Weapon Consulting.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Adam Wright with CJ Medeiros and Justin Tucker. We welcome you to the Fumble Rooski Fan Box part of our show. We post a question filter on our Instagram every Monday, and you can respond with hot takes, questions, and more, and we will discuss it and give you a shout-out on our podcast. Respond to next week's Fanbox question to be featured on our show. All right, so the question of the week was, who are the most underrated defensive backs in this draft class?
Starting point is 00:31:20 Notice how I said defensive backs, because I feel like there's a lot of both cornerbacks and safeties in this class, and I just can't exclude one and include the other. I just want to hear what you guys had to say. And for our first response, Floodster Sports Zone said Brian Branch. Oh, he's out of Alabama. I like him. He may not be the fastest guy, but he's good.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah, Justin's right. Brian Branch, like Tuck said, not the fastest, but he can literally do it all. You can plug and play him anywhere on the field. He plays corner. He plays safety. Great, versatile guy. Bonafide first-round pick. He would flourish in other systems more so than others.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Like, I wouldn't put him in, like, a cover three, like, single high. But he's good. Kind of like a Daxton Hill of this year. No. No, he's better than Daxton Hill. Much better. Better than Dax Hill? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:32:20 He's better, but he's not as fast as Daxton Hill. Yeah. I'm just saying the – He's got better but he's not as fast as Daxton, though. I'm just saying the caliber, the style of play that he kind of has. All right, so we got three votes for the exact same player. Jad Noman said DJ Turner, along with Owen Van Slak, who also said DJ Turner, along with Owen Van Slak, who also said DJ Turner. And he said Bro ran a 4-2-6 for a 40-yard dash.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And so did Ian Mulhern. So three DJ Turner votes. Can you tell he was the popular choice? Yeah. But unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough to catch the tcu receiver so i just don't know yeah all jokes aside uh he's fast but i'm not the world's biggest dj turner guy i mean he's a great man-to-man corner let's not beat around the bush but he constantly gets beaten zone his cuts you know when chasing receivers and his back pedal it leaves a lot to be desired and with his playing style he's very handsy and he can draw
Starting point is 00:33:34 quite a few flags yeah not to mention i can name quite a few corners that i believe are better than him but you know i'm going to get into that here. But I wouldn't know if I'd take him first-round Turner. I would say late second, early third-rounder. Yeah. Yeah. And he feels like the type of player who's kind of only built up hype from the combine.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Absolutely. Kind of in the way that we kind of picked built up hype from the combine. Absolutely. Kind of in the way that we kind of picked it apart a couple weeks ago when the combine was happening. We looked at players. You are correct. Whose combine stock went through the roof because of – whose draft stock went through the roof because of the combine. And DJ Turner feels like that type
Starting point is 00:34:25 of player eli turner one of our show fans responded by saying me i'm not responding to that no show me the tape then we'll talk it's not worth my time not worth my time man come on i i admire the i admire the confidence but confidence, but you definitely said that as a joke. Brian Mucker also responded with a joke saying, and half of this wasn't a joke, because knowing Brian Mucker, when he says Sauce Gardner, he probably actually believes Sauce Gardner, even though he's been in the league for a year already.
Starting point is 00:35:06 He's also a diehard Jets fan, so he's probably looking for some reason to bring up. He always looks for an excuse to bring up his Jets. Have a conversation with him anytime. He also mentioned his roommate, Andrew Coyne. So that was one thing. So another one that we are not giving any attention to. Nick Reyes said Jameer Gibbs. So I think he misread and probably, so is Jameer Gibbs a
Starting point is 00:35:37 running back? I said defensive back and I'll address this guy since, since he, he mentioned a player who's actually in the draft class, Jameer Gibbs. He's not going to be a first round pick, but it's, it's, we're reaching a day and age and thank God for this. We are reaching a day and age where running backs are not taking in the first round. They rarely are now. And when they are, it's like they actually deserve it now. Like, for example, Bijan Robinson. Slam dunk first round pick. I don't think he should be taken in the top half,
Starting point is 00:36:20 not fourth overall like Leonard Fournette or Saquon Barkley before him. But if he goes in the back half and goes to buffalo i think that's a great pick for the buffalo bills but again we're talking about jameer gibbs he's probably a second round pick yeah and maybe he'll go in the first round if someone needs a running back and gets stupid for one eagles That number 30 pick. I better not see Jameer Gibbs there. Alright. So, that's about all for our responses. Any other thoughts before we end the show tonight?
Starting point is 00:36:54 Nope. No, I'm good. Alright. Well, that'll do it for us tonight. Thank you for listening to us. We have new episodes out on Tuesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm ET.
